Security plan which is very robust. I think he details very much how we will take care of our neighborhood community. I think the most important thing is the Community Outreach. We have been significant. I will hopefully answer more questions about that. Thank you. Okay. With that, well take Public Comment on this item. Come on up. I do have two speaker cards. [calling names] i am andrea. I sat here since 1 00 p. M. I will be very quick. I have reached out to dray and duncan. I find this story very charming and important, however, i am a 26 year resident, less than 200 feet from the proposed site, and we follow through a crack between district three and district one. I had to even ask aaron if it is actually in our district, and the Reading Elementary School is less than 600 feet from this proposed site. I know it is probably a done deal, and i have to live with it , and im not against pot being legalized, im not against any of that, when i have gone online to express my other concerns, i have been coloured as a narrowminded name be, but i do want to express that, in my other life, im a writer, but i am also a pizza lady, and i serve people all day long in the streets between all the alleys, and i have seen what the dispensary has done on post and poke. They have armed guards and long lines, and a bad smell right across from the shelter where a lot of people are really struggling to turn their lives around. I know nobody really cares about knob hill, we dont even have an association except for one that does barbecues in huntington park, but i thought i would i would have been disappointed if i didnt go on record as saying that i am somebody would like to see anything else. I find that space a microcosm of what has gone on in the city. The rent was tripled. As a result, they were forced out. Now the only people who can move into all these anti storefronts are high or i would love to see anything go in there, a soup kitchen, a Doggy Daycare center, anything, but my biggest concern is that they didnt actually it is actually within 600 feet. The last thing, i would like to say is when i have approached them at meetings about what they want to give back to the community, i said, yeah, that is great, and they said, it wont be an empty storefront for highend retail. And i said great. Anything else and they said, yeah, people your age and 70 yearolds will have closer access to buying their dope. Is already do one bar and across the street from another. Okay. Thank you. Any other Public Comment on this item . My name is ray. I am a Business Owner and ive had the Great Fortune of working alongside duncan and his colleagues for a long time. As the previous gentleman was earlier for the last around, he said it could be great, they could not be great, the difference is the ownership. I am here to say that this ownership is excellent and i think it should be approved for all the great things that they do for the community all the time. Thank you. Thank you. Next Public Comment, please. Good evening, commissioners. I am the longterm resident of San Francisco in the castro neighborhood, and im currently the president of the Democratic Club of San Francisco of cannabis policy advocacy organization. Im confident after having talked to terence allen, who ran the San FranciscoCannabis Legalization Task force, that the Leadership Team of california street Cannabis Company will provide an excellent dispensary from the upper polk area of San Francisco , which currently does not have a brickandmortar dispensary. I urge you to support his application. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening, commissioners. My name is kenneth michael, and i am a longtime resident and homeowner of San Francisco of over 30 years. I let used to live in that area over there. I do not have a car, and i realize that when you have access to things that you need and you can walk, particularly as a senior, it is a big difference in a persons life. I urge you to approve this application. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello, commissioners. I am the current g. M. Into the microphone, please. I am over in mission. Without duncans help and his team, we would not have been able to get through it. Their knowledge in staffing, in h. R. , in ordering, in everything , we could not have gotten through without them, and we have nothing but positivity when it comes to our interactions with them over the last few years. When the opportunity came to speak on their behalf, there was zero hesitation. We couldnt be happier for them to actually open their own dispensary and we really want them, we want you guys to approve it. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker place please. Name is mitchell. Im here to express my support for the approval on the conditional use 41398 california street. I have been a resident Business Owner for over 25 years. They are people i have worked with for years on community projects. They invest in their community and care about all stakeholders, not just their own agenda. Any community would be lucky to have them and their involvement in maintaining or creating healthy, safe, and vibrant spheres. A few days ago, i went into a store on polk street. It was two doors away from bullet, and the woman who owns it has been by herself, running her store all the time, i asked her how things are going, and she said she mentioned that she feels extra secure and good because she has such a great neighbor looking out for everyone on the street. She was referring to duncan, bend, and drapy or that is a pretty good indication of what you can expect from these guys opening shop in your neighborhood. They are present, they are engaged, in the care about their community. You couldnt ask for a better operator. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening. My name is elizabeth and i am the mother i am a mother. I have never done this before. It is a little nerveracking. My son was raised by me, a single mother at the time. He comes from an immigrant family, and immigrant family with financial disadvantages. He is the eldest of four siblings. Growing up, he has managed to persevere through a lot of obstacles, and he has learned to value hard work and dedication. Bypassing this condition, you are not only investing in the neighborhood, you are investing in a person of color and investing in the future of his siblings. Thank you and i hope you can approve it. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening, commissioners. I am a San Francisco resident. I met your colleague i met him when in 2014 at the San Francisco playground. We always got along great, as he did with everyone else. I think it is because he always made sure everyone came and was accounted for. He made sure we were pushing ourselves to be better and helping those who maybe struggling. When i see him now, he brings those same qualities do his work he is an example of hard work, determination, compassion. He is respected and respectful. I am happy to call him a friend. Thank you. Thank you. Any other Public Comment on this item . Hello. My name is alexa. I am a cannabis educator and an activist and got introduced to duncan by a friend. I wanted to get into the industry after having a lifethreatening injury that cannabis really helped me through. I appreciate what the neighbor was saying. I feel like we need to have more Community Outreach and education around cannabis, which is why i am excited about this project because i think it is missing from a lot of dispensaries. I work closely with duncan. He has been a great mentor of mine. Im excited to be part of this space because i think it is really needed to have a more Community Focused space. I hope you give us that opportunity. Thank you, any other Public Comment on this item . With that, Public Comment is now closed. Could you please clarify the question about the school . On page 2 of the executive summary, you will see i noted in terms of the 600foot radius, there were receptor sites starting with number 1. It is 692 feet from the subject property. I analyse this using our database. It is very much on the cusp. By definition the other sites are 84, 923 and 1300. I would also add that the school his to the southwest of the subject property and it is behind a very large trader joes there was a large amount of massing between the subject property and the subject school. Thank you for saying that. I knew you would have found the work. Reading it into Public Record acknowledges the Public Comment. I hope the person who mentioned it is satisfied with the answer provided. I live in the neighborhood, i know the location quite well, i am delighted to see you without much with that much strength and that much support, and i commend you for speaking as openly and as trustingly about your own background. I look forward to seeing you when i walked down the street that is a motion. I moved to approve this condition. Second. Im sorry. I just want to echo everything commissioner moore said. It is clear that you have worked really hard to Garner Community support, and i also cant not take the opportunity to think the pizza lady for what you have done in the neighborhood. I actually think there is some sort of creative way to give back to the community. Thank you. Commissioner fong . I will bring up the same issue of consumption on site. What is steph saying about that here . They did not ask for it. Consumption has not been requested at this time. The conditions of approval would not prohibit them from adding that later to the building permit. Staff has recognized that staff has a lot more residential units above it. It is somewhat less of a National Destination then the caster would be. We did not feel the condition was necessary based on the process for reviewing this. It certainly could be added by the commission. I would like to add that so we dont create a potential problem later. Commissioner richards . Im open to adding that. The question is, dont we need the approval of the Health Department . If the condition isnt added then, if the sponsor were wanting to add consumption on sight in the future, they can file a burling permit and it would be reviewed with consistency for their standards. If the condition was added by the commission, they would be prevented from doing so unless they came back to the commission to amend the conditions of approval. What are you feeling in the neighborhood . I would like to ask the applicant, in terms of his Business Model, that would be, for me, the right level of dialogue here. We are not seeking it at this time, but this industry changes so rapidly. Consumers are different now that they were a while ago. We would like to not have that precluded from the application, but literally right now, we dont see it happening, but just as the industry changes, i would like to leave the option open. We would seek it and giving people a safe place to consume would be something, down the road, if available, we would seek, but at this time, it is not part of our Business Model or plan. Again, they change the regulations in this business daily. In this particular location, if i may, we do not have the same situation. This is not a plaza, is a very busy intersection, a very wide street. California is very wide at that particular location. Across the street is trader joes, and it is very heavily granted very heavily frequented. There are two additional bars which try tried to corral their clientele to stay inside. Every so often when you walk by, you see some kind of standing in the doorway, but the bar owner is pulling them back in because they cant stand on the street consuming alcohol. Further down the street, there two locations with corner restaurants with outdoor seen him. So if it is not in the Business Model, they will figure out what they need to do. At this moment, i i would say it is not a location for onsite consumption, given it is heavily residential in all directions. I have to assume that they will know what to do when that situation arises. I just have trust that they need to figure out what to do, even if the industry changes in the next couple of years. I just have to leave that up to them. So you are not accepting that as an amendment . I am not, no. Okay. If theres nothing further, there is a motion that has been seconded to approve this matter with conditions. On that motion. [roll call] so moved. That motion passes 41. We are adjourned. First there were no items closed for continuance, however we have received a request from the project sponsor for item 10 case 1016300399 conditional use authorization is proposed for continuance through july 11th, 2019. I have no other items for continuance or speaker cards. Does anyone want to comment about the continuance request . Good afternoon, john here on behalf of the project sponsor. We have a sensitive neighborhood here. Fortunately were making good progress. President melgar, we have dtna on board with the project. A couple of the neighbors are asking for a continuance so we can have additional meetings before we come here and so were hoping to be back here july 11to go. Thank you for your consideration. President melgar thank you. Any other Public Comment . Dade troop with the Triangle Neighborhood Association just want to echo mr. Kevlynns fronts but theres issues being worked out with the neighborhood. So were appreciative of the willingness to accept a continuance so hopefully we can have that rare thing of everybody being in support of the project. Thank you for your consideration. President melgar thank you. Any other Public Comment . With that, Public Comment is now closed. Commissioner col notel koppel. I motion to move it to the date specified. Thank you continuing to july 11th. Commissioner fung. Aye. Hillis. Aye. Johnson. Aye. Moore. Aye. Koppel. Aye. And president melgar. Aye. That motion passes 60. That will place us on commission matters item 1, commissioner comments and questions. President melgar so i just had a question for staff and that was about the organizing that neighbors are doing to get green benefit district around the park and its fairly large and encompasses valencia street up to Market Street and so its not a commission use issue but it has land use issue. It would be great if we can have an informational and have discussion about it. Thank you. Seeing nothing further. We can move on to department matters. Item 2, directors announcements. W. Only one announcement. Last week we had the honor of the department had the honor of getting a couple of awards from the Northern California chapter of the american planning association. We received an award for the central soma plan and we received an award for the recent policy change to eliminate parking requirements city wide, which you all supported and the board supported. And thirdly, one of our planners, Veronica Flores received award as a new emerging young planner for the city so we were proud of her and all the awardees in the department so we wanted to make that announcement and congratulate everyone. Congratulations to you director. Great achievement, thank you. Item 3 review of events at the board of supervisors. Theres no board of appeals or Historic Preservation commission report. Good afternoon, aaron star, management of legislative affairs. A quick report. There were no items at the Land Use Committee that Planning Department presented on. At the full board, the mills act applications requirement changes in the administrative code passed its second read. The landmark designation for the paper doll passed the first read. And the changes to the regional commercial district and the full passed and that concludes my report. Thank you. If there are no questions, commissioners, we can move on to general Public Comment. Members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public. Within the subject matter except agenda items. With respect to agenda items, it will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting. Each member of the public may address the commission for up to three minutes. I have several speaker cards. I just wanted to remind folks not to stand in front of the door. Its a hazard. Find a seat, that would be great. You do need to find a seat to remain in the room. I have georgia, Richard Frisbee and mark bran on but if anyone else wants to come up you can lineup on the left wall. Thank you. Good afternoon. I just want to highlight you 48 hills on the 11th. I dont know if you read the 48 hills. There were two good articles, one article about the jobshousing linkage and one from the lawyer from los angeles about the state laws. If i can have the overhead, please. I would appreciate it. Thank you. This is from this is across here you approved. I forgot t forgot to look it up. It wasnt a demolition. It was a remodel and there were two units. One on sanchez and one on die. I was standing will looking at it and a woman came by and said its big i hate the fact it doesnt have more units in it but i said it was a demolition even though they said it wasnt. Thats what they do all the time. I was taken back because she accepted that fact that thats what goes on all the time. So it is big and just to remind you, if i may, here are the demo calcs for it and theyre hard to see. This is one set an
