SFGTV Government Access Programming July 14, 2024

Arrived at. The design was the entire ground unit has the rear yard, and the top unit has the exclusive use of the top deck. If we did make it accessible to all units, i did talk to the fire department, youd need both penthouses, and not a penthouse and a retractable hatch. I thought that was a combination of that. The middle unit, which is the smallest of the units, the way it was designed, has a nice size deck the way it was just talked about, and the bottom floor really has the exclusive use of the open level, and that theyre all realistic open spaces for everybody. The comment i would make is the space is generally, i like the design. I think its a good idea. I would like to have seen more communal use of the back yard and not have such a massive roof deck on top. Just to form, i think the transition from the smallscale residential that is still in this transitional area of geary boulevard makes it a very large building. Im concerned that. I would prefer a sixstory building or a building that does not add a roof deck of this size because youre tre trending towards luxury units. Vice president koppel commissioner richards . Commissioner richards im not a big fan of roof decks. Ive had friends that lived in top three full units from front to back, and they never used the roof deck. If you im open to reducing the overhaall height of the building as commissioner moor samoore said, but im just not open to the apartment sharing the yard. Vice president koppel commissioner fung . Commissioner fung im supportive of the unit as constituted. I think this area can support larger structures, the three units. The only suggestion is i probably am not going to suggest anything that deals with the separation between the adjacent neighbor and this building on a on windows that are parallel to the Property Line. However, a small suggestion would be that a sixfoothigh solid screen on that side of the deck so there is no visibility between the deck and his kitchen and bathroom. Commissioner hillis second. Vice president koppel commissioner richards . Commissioner richards can you make the screen translucent . Yeah. Ive been doing a ton of these, and we get the same comments. We call that opaque screen. You tell me, 6 or 7 feet high. Commissioner fung accept it as amended. I didnt know i made the motion. Vice president koppel well accept that. Clerk all right, commissioners, there is somewhat of a motion thats been amended to include a 6foot opaque screen for a privacy screen. Commissioner hillis that translucent or opaque . Commissioner richards opaque is fine. Rich, rich, rich. [roll call] clerk so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously, 50. Vice president koppel meeting adjourned. [gavel] manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform for people to earn livelihoods and for people to create more economic prosperity. Im kate sosa. Im cofounder and ceo of sf made. Sf made is a Public Private partnership in the city of San Francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in San Francisco. Sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other Small Business support organizations who provide more generalized support. Everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. For example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide Small Business owners with education. We have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city Seas Partnership with Small Business, creating a 100 Company Selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or twoperson shop, and who dont have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help Companies Set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in San Francisco. Im amy kascel, and im the owner of amy kaschel San Francisco. We started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. San franciscos a great place to do business in terms of clientele. We have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. I think its important for them to know where their clothes are made and how theyre made. My name is jefferson mccarly, and im the general manager of the Mission Bicycle company. We sell bikes made here for people that ride here. Essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. Our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. We care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. When people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. Its a pretty fun shopping experience. Paragraph. For me as a designer, i love the control. I can see whats going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. Going through the suing room, im looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look . Is this what shes expecting, maybe if weve made a customization to a dress, which we can do because were making everything here locally. Over the last few years, weve been more technical. Its a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions are as a Small Business owner. Sometimes its appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. We need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to overcome another problem. Moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how theyre going to use it, whether its the end piece or a he hwedding gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so thats the direction i hear at this point. The reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that were sharing the opportunities that weve been blessed with economically and socially as possible, broadening that everything is done inhouse. I think it is done. I have always been passionate about gelato. Every single slaver has its own recipe. We have our own we move on from there. So you have every time a unique experience because that slaver is the flavored we want to make. Union street is unique because of the neighbors and the location itself. The people that live around here i love to see when the street is full of people. It is a little bit of italy that is happening around you can walk around and enjoy shopping with gelato in your hand. This is the move we are happy to provide to the people. I always love union street because its not like another commercial street where you have big chains. Here you have the neighbors. There is a lot of stories and the neighborhoods are essential. People have they enjoy having their daily or weekly gelato. I love this street itself. We created a move of an area where we will be visiting. We want to make sure that the area has the gelato that you like. What we give back as a shop owner is creating an ambient lifestyle. If you do it in your area and if you like it, then you can do it on the streets you like. Good morning, everyone how are you all . So, welcome.

Thank you good morning, everybody now, i will troy to be short because i would love for you all to get out there and do what you came here to do and clean up San Francisco let me just start by saying thank you. We know that we have a lot of challenges in San Francisco. We have far too many People Living on our streets. We have far too many challenges with housing and housing affordability. I know our Small Businesses are struggling. The city is finally making the kinds of investments that i hope will make a difference in your everyday lives as you work in this great city. I was born and raised here and i grew up in public housing. You know, my grandmother, when we were kids, she would make us go out and clean up. She would always say clean it up. Ike like mama, why, would want to clean up. You know how kids are. We would should i look, its our responsibility to keep our community clean. Now here, take this bucket and put water and soap and clean up. You know, at the time as a kid you are like i dont want to do this but then, as you get older, its just a part of who you are. I find myself doing it in my community, doing it where i used to work at the African American culture complex and really feeling good about the investment that ive made and also the example that ive set for other young people to be better stewards of San Francisco. So what you all are out there are doing is not just picking up trash and erasing graffiti and painting, you all are stewards for San Francisco. You are taking care of the city. You all are showing how much you love San Francisco and other people when they see you doing what you are doing, theyre less likely to drop that trash on the ground and actually take it to the trash can. It does make a difference. So i want to thank all of you and all the Community Business districts and the people who are out there every single day. I especially want to thank the department of public works and the many thousands of employees because they are out on the streets everyday. Downtown street teams and so many other folks trying to keep San Francisco clean, green and beautiful. I love our city. I know you all love this city. Thank you for showing your love by taking care of San Francisco today for this amazing event. Have a wonderful time out there thank you so much, mayor. Id like to introduce from district 6 our supervisor matt haney who will be working with the groups as well. Please help me welcome supervisor matt haney. Thank you, thank you. How is everybody doing this morning make some noise if you love our city [applause] make noise if you are ready to pick up a broom and do some cleaning today who would have thought we could call this a cold day in San Francisco.

Im the supervisor of district 6 and i want to give a special shout out to the different communities and cbds of district 6. The tenderloin where i live, soma, union square, everyone who is here, we really appreciate how much you do everyday. I see folks here from the hotel. Make some noise if you are representing the hotels in our city. This is a city that is still a worldclass destination. People come here from all over the world. We want to make sure that when they come here, they understand that theyre going to have an incredible experience and theyre going to see clean and safe streets and theyre going to see the people of San Francisco care about our community. Thats what you are demonstrating today. I want to thank mayor breed for the investments shows made in making our streets cleaner. If you look out there, theres things we can do. We need more trash cans on our streets, we need more bathrooms that are open for longer hours, and we need more street cleaning and deep cleaning and so what you are doing today is not just demonstrating to your residents that you care, you are demonstrating to us, the city, that you care and we need to do more as well.
