Transcripts For SFGTV Government Access Programming 20240714

Even exist. So all of the stuff theyre doing will be for naught. We as the city, including s. F. P. U. C. , but external of silos, like clean power s. F. , we need to be looking at what we want to get to. [buzzer] and how all of the cylinders of the city can work to get there. That will be the same whether it is clean power s. F. , whether it is public power. I think it is time to break out from letting one part of the City Government to sit on this issue, which has been happening for six, seven, eight years. We need to have this happen at the 30,000foot view. Im hoping that the [buzzer] chairwoman thank you very much. Any other Public Comment . Seeing none, the Public Comment is now closed. Mr. Clerk, can you please call item number seven. Item seven is Public Comment. Chairwoman any members of the public like to make comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Mr. Clerk, item number eight. Item eight is future agenda items . Chairwoman any future items to note . Mr. Global. I want to bring it to everyones attention that i am expecting a fairly long agenda at our next meeting on september 20th. Were going to have several presentations, including some of the work that lavcos interns have been doing around programs for communities of concern with clean power s. F. , and also some of the local buildout projects that have been previously considered, and well be bringing a presentation to you on that for background. Chairwoman colleagues, please note on your agendas that that meeting will take at least three hours, and to allot that amount of time so we can give our full attention to all of the work the interns have been doing. Any other items on a future agenda. Seeing none . How about Public Comment on this. The september meeting sounds like my kind of meeting. Eric brooks with all of the groups i mentioned before. Now i want to talk about you may need to call a special meeting in august. And that will be around legislation. As you heard, ab1054 passed, along with a companion bill, ab111. You should take a look at both bills. Ab1054 does not just outrageously block public power. What it does is even when the monopoly utility like pg e, even when its equipment is at fault for starting a fire, it guarantees that there will be a 21billion fund that ratepayers will pay half of to pay for fires. Thats not the way it used to be. The way it used to be, whenever it was pg es fault or their equipment, pg e paid, and had to work really hard to get any rate increases to pay for part of that. Thats not even the worst part. Once that 21 billion fund is exhausted, and we spent in the last two years 30 billion on the current wildfires that just happened in two years. If we go above the 21 billion, 1054 allows the monopoly utilities to do their own private bonds and link those to ratepayer increases to pay any further wildfire costs. [buzzer] so consumers, costumers, ratepayers will end up paying more than 50 of costs they are not responsible for. The reason that matters to our local buildout is that the more and to other Community Choice programs starting up the more ratepayer have to pay, the less theyre willing to do clean power s. F. [buzzer] chairwoman any other Public Comment. Any other items before us . Madam chair, there is no further business. Chairman thank you very much. This meeting is adjourned. Sustainability mission, even though the bikes are very Minimal Energy use. It Still Matters where the energy comes from and also part of the mission in sustainability is how we run everything, run our business. So having the lights come on with clean energy is important to us as well. We heard about cleanpowersf and learned they had commercial rates and signed up for that. It was super easy to sign up. Our bookkeeper signed up online, it was like 15 minutes. Nothing has changed, except now we have cleaner energy. Its an easy way to align your environmental proclivities and goals around Climate Change and its so easy that its hard to not want to do it, and it doesnt really add anything to the bill. [ ] i just wanted to say a few words. One is to the parents and to all of the kids. Thank you for supporting this program and for trusting us to create a Soccer Program in the bayview. Soccer is the worlds game, and everybody plays, but in the united states, this is a sport that struggles with access for certain communities. I coached basketball in a coached football for years, it is the same thing. It is about motivating kids and keeping them together, and giving them new opportunities. When the kids came out, they had no idea really what the game was. Only one or two of them had played soccer before. We gave the kids very simple lessons every day and made sure that they had fun while they were doing it, and you really could see them evolve into a team over the course of the season. I think this is a great opportunity to be part of the community and be part of programs like this. I get to run around with my other teammates and pass the ball. This is new to me. Ive always played basketball or football. I am adjusting to be a soccer mom. The bayview is like my favorite team. Even though we lose it is still fine. Right on. I have lots of favorite memories, but i think one of them is just watching the kids enjoy themselves. My favorite memory was just having fun and playing. Bayview united will be in soccer camp all summer long. They are going to be at civic centre for two different weeklong sessions with america scores, then they will will have their own soccer camp later in the summer right here, and then they will be back on the pitch next fall. Now we know a little bit more about soccer, we are learning more, and the kids are really enjoying the program. We want to be united in the bayview. That is why this was appropriate this guy is the limit. The kids are already athletic, you know, they just need to learn the game. We have some potential collegebound kids, definitely. Today was the last practice of the season, and the sweetest moment was coming out here while , you know, we were setting up the barbecue and folding their uniforms, and looking out onto the field, and seven or eight of the kids were playing. This year we have first and second grade. We are going to expand to third, forth, and fifth grade next year bring them out and if you have middle school kids, we are starting a team for middle school. You know why . Why . Because we are . Bayview united. Thats right. We call this meeting to order. Good afternoon and welcome to the San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission Regular hearing for wednesday august 7, 2019.

Today we are here to provide an opportunity for your commission to provide its comments on the draft eir to the Planning Commission and the department. As part of the hearing today you will receive public testimony. I would like to remind everyone that comments made by the public at this hearing should be directed to assisting the commission in formulating its comments on the draft eir and want to be responded to. If a member of the public would like to make a comment on the draft eir, attend the Planning Commission hearing on thursday august 29, 2019. The San Francisco Planning Department proposes to rezone portions of an area of San Francisco within the boundaries of the downtown civic center, south of market Western District and mission neighborhoods. The 84acre area is referred to as the hub. It would amend the 2,008 area plan of the San Francisco general plan focusing on the eastern portions of the plan. The hub plan improves plans to streets and sidewalks. The street scape and Street Network improvements are analyzed at a project specific level and the draft eir. Two individual Development Projects 30 van ness and 98 franklin street are evaluated. The proposed project at 30 van ness includes retentions of portions of the existing 75foot tall, fiveStory Building and construction of a 45 foot Story Building with ground floor retail space. Thirtythree floors of residential space and vehicular bicycle parking. The proposed part project at 98 franklin street, demolition of the vehicular project parking lot. It would be occupied by new facilities for the International High school. The 98 franklin street site would include vehicular parking and bicycle space. This eir evaluates the designation of portions of or all of the hub plan area as the housing sustainability district. In accordance with Assembly Bill 73. Through adoption of an ordinance by the San Francisco board of supervisors would allow the city to exercise streamline approval of residential and mixed Development Projects meeting certain requirements. Qualifying projects would still be required to implement applicable mitigation measures identified in this eir, and would comply with adopted Design Review standards and all existing city laws and regulations. Projects that qualify under the provisions of the hst would not be subject to further Environmental Review. The draft eir finds the proposed project, even with the implementation of mitigation measures would result in significant and unavoidable impacts with respect to Cultural Resources, transportation and circulation, the remainder of this presentation will focus on Historic Architectural resources. First i would like to provide a summary of Historical Resources located inside the hub area. The hub plan area contains humoa in read. Historic resources shown districts are shown in a variety of shades. Several of the individual resources and historic districts, within the plan area are designated under articles ten and 11 of the planning covariate the area also contains Historical Resources that were identified and passed the surveys that cover all or part of the area. [reading notes] several Additional Resources were identified through the ceqa review process. An Additional Survey was prepared in conjunction with the hub area plan eir. This survey, the hub plan Historical Resources survey, or simply the hub survey, was conducted between 2,018 and 2019 to have plan area. Along with california register of Historical Resources eligibility findings. A preliminary analysis of the hub plan area determined that 27 buildings within the hub area require new evaluations. This was because either the buildings had not been preselected for intensive level evaluation and past surveys. Were not age eligible at the time of the surveys. Meaning they were not 45 years old. Had designations or evaluations that were determined not to be sufficient for the purposes of the survey. Or, because no information came to light indicating new potential areas of significance. This had to do with lgbtq history or modern architectural history. Of the 27 buildings evaluated, five were identified as individually eligible Historic Resources. This includes the San Francisco Womens Centers at 5563 brady street. The San Francisco buyers club, then gantner and mattern Company Building at 1453 Mission Street, the mirrored flat type residential building at 16181624 Howard Street and the San Francisco Human Services Agency Building at 170 otis street. The draft eir has identified significant and unavoidable impacts with regard to Historical Resources area the first impact states that the hub plan would cause could cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of individual built environment, resources and or historic districts. Foz on making this determination the draft eir considered, which would be accomplished by introducing changes in existing land controls and zoning to provide a flexibility and allowed allow land uses. Of these 18 sites, three contained listed or eligible Historic Buildings. [reading notes] could you repeat those again . Sure. Of the 18 sites where zoning controls and land uses are changing, three contain Historical Resources. These are; 170 otis street. Ninetynine south van ness. And ten south van ness. Van ness has a separate eir that has been evaluated separately. In addition to these three sites, it is anticipated that implementation of the hub plan would result in increased development throughout the hub plan area. Although implementation of the hub plan would not immediately change the significance of the horse toric resource. For the purposes of the eir analysis, foreseeable result of zoning control changes proposed under the hub plan could be demolition of the Historic Resources, or their alteration in adverse manner. Regarding districts, there draft eir has evaluated potential impacts all historic districts within or adjacent to the hub plan area and determine the plan could result in Significant Impact to one. To address the impact, the hub draft eir includes mitigation measures required for projects located on the site of Historic Resources. The first such measure would require sponsors to seek feasible means for avoiding impacts to Historic Resources, by designing a project that meets the secretary of the interior standards for rehabilitation. A special project were not feasible, the sponsor would be required to consult with the Planning Department to determine if a feasible project that minimized the to the retention of significant architectural elements would be desirable. If avoidance of impacts to Historic Resources is determ
