Inc. Using the limits of residential signage allowing directional signage standards for mixed retail uses and decreasing the clearance for fin sign. This allows me to reflect ability implementing and or. These are all update that allow, controls respond better to the architecture and uses. The Mission Bay Souths plan was adopted on june 27, 2,000 by the former agency commission. It has been amended twice. The first on march 17, 2015 to allow commercial signage above the height of the 280 freeway. The second on june five, 2018 establish comprehensive Signage Program for blocks 3922. The existing residential signage limit allow maximum of 20 square feet of sign area with no individual sign exceeding ten square feet on 34th streets. And a maximum of 15 where feet of sign area on other street with no individual signage to exceed five square feet. They do not allow longer building names to be effectively communicated. The proposed standards would allow a maximum of 50 square feet. Exceeding 15 square feet. The proposed standard creates more flexibility for current and future projects to successfully communicate the building identity. Mission bay, 119 affordable unit housing product is named after the late mayor lee. This rendering depicts the allowable signage under the existing standard where the building entrance is. You can see the whole name is not visible. This is the proposed signage. As you can see the full building name is shown in size balances of the architectural building. As Mission Bay South nears completion it is evident directional signage may be needed to guide people to their destination. The existing standard allows directional signs for commercial, industrial and hotel uses only. The proposed amendment would allow existing standard to be applied to retail and residential uses also. Here is an example example of directional signage. The proposed amendment would allow similar signage for mixed use retail and residential uses on a case to case basis area the fin sign clearance standard for all uses identified clearance minimum of 12 feet. This is constrained uses from implementing fin sign due to architectural details like setbacks and canopies. The proposed amendment would allow the height to decrease to 10 feet above the sidewalk to providing yeast flexibility. On the left is the 12 feet, on the right is the 12 feet. As you can see the two fit high clearance is minimal. They reviewed the proposed amendments at the may 9, 2019 meeting i recommended approval. The vote was seven in favor of one opposed the member opposed express the residential Square Footage signage limits should be higher. The proposed amendment are implementing action and required no further environmental review. I am here to answer any question that you have. Thank you, but we need to take Public Comments right now.

Throughout mission bay we have many architectural detailing canopies and things. They come out a little lower, say a 12 feet. The requested action is increasing that up to ten. Thank you.

I did receive a communication regarding the passing of an employee, doctor carlin. Dan was an enthusiastic team member who never lacked for a kind comment or word of encouragement. He made me feel welcome here immediately upon my arrival at this department and always sought to be helpful. Ive heard it said that dan is probably the few people we know who lived his life with vigor and had very few if any regrets. He was one of those people who could fit into any group and bring the fun do it. Almost everyone knew dan and dan certainly knew everyone. Living a great fun life was more important. He warned me about this on many occasions. Dan will be very much missed here in the carpentry shop where he spent time. So with that, i would ask that we adjourn the meeting today in his memory and turn it over that concludes my report. Clerk is there anyone who would like to make Public Comment under the president s report . Okay. Seeing none, this item is closed. Okay. We are now on item 3, the general managers report. Mr. President , commissioners, thank you for adjourning todays meeting in memory of dan. Dan was an extraordinary employee, part of our carpenter team. Dan was someone who had a smile that could light up a park, light up a room, light up a building. Incredible amount of love and invested an incredible amount of love and time for camp mather. About 1. 5 months ago, getting ready to open up for the season, dan led the charge to get it ready for the season. He worked up to 18 hours a day trying to get things done. And he did it with a smile because that was who he was. We spoke wi all i can say is that he will be missed and his memory will be a blessing for all of us. Turning over to more joyous topics, yesterday was play day. We were visited by over 1,000 kids, the large majority of which were our kids from the bayview, but we had kids from not just from our summer camps, but from nonprofits from all over the city who came for rides and games and activities. We opened up the pool. There was paddle boarded and kayaking and food paddle bore boards and kayaking and food and the pool. It couldnt do anything but put a smile on your face when it was there. So it was joyous, but seeing these kids outside, running around, being treated like kings and queens for a day was really something special. I want to thank lorraine banford who oversees these events every year, and it was really, really, really remarkable. Turning or moving from the bayview to the mission, i want to talk about ian chanka hall and its community garden. Presented by liveable city, the liveable awards honor individuals and institutions that have made contributions to San Franciscos liveability. The hall opened in june 2017. It brought much needed green space to a dense, diverse neighborhood that was searching for a welcoming communal space. It was literally a parking lot. A committed group of volunteers helped us to transform the Parks Community garden into an area representing neighbors from across the globe. The group hosts cultural events and grows produce often hard to find in local groceries. As you know, our Program Supports and manages a program of 40 Community Gardens and growing. We have a couple more on the horizon, where members can grow produce and cultivate ornamental plants for person use. Each is run by a committed group of volunteers. Moving back to the bayview, supervisor shaman walton joined local kids on a newly renovated Basketball Court for a game. Rec and park, as you know, has been making a significant investment in the southeast part of the city and specifically in district 10. I dont know over what period of time, but Capital Projects in district 10 right now total about 80 million, and the Operations Division alone has invested nearly 1 million in resurfacing projects in district 10. And since 2012, district 10 has received well over 40 million in philanthropy. So a lot of good things. Bayview playground, k. C. Jones is in the Construction Design phase. Youngblood coleman, you know quite a bit about india basin which is in the Concept Design phase, and a variety of other improvements beyond the court resurfacing projects are underway, so a lot of good things happening in the southeast sector of the city. All right. Lets turn to soccer. Fresh off the excitement of the u. S. National womens soccer teams stunning world cup victory in france earlier this month, we are proud to partner with street soccer u. S. A.
