Anyone else for Public Comment on items for continuance . Seeing none. I am kevin chang. 3847 to 3849 18th street. My concern is the continuance was requested less than 24 hours. I requested with Mutual Consent with staff it should be done with advance notice. This was scheduled for tonight. It is second to the last matter to be heard tonight the matter should be continued indefinitely to allow staff time to sort out the matter for 311 notification if it needs resent out to determine the extent of violations growing for this project, to take time to get right the projects matters by this commission. Projects with less violations had permits revoked or some other projects had permits suspended for 24 to 36 months. Zoning administrator said better safe than sorry. Same caution needs to be here. Public has a right to know what happened, to have confidence the system and Department Staff are fair in how it handles the violations. Otherwise the public is left with the question whether or not staff is incompetent or corrupt. Please continue this indefinitely until staff is repaired to give a full evaluation on the matters presented from there to get proper evaluation before it is heard again. Thank you very much.

Move to continue item 1, 2, 3, 4, 15, 17, 18, 21a and 21b to the dates specified. Second. Commissioner richards. I am looking at the 11 14 calendar. We have 2417 green street. That is the one that i have a stack this high at home going on forever. I would like to move to offer friendly amendment to move item 21a to a more appropriate date when we have more time. I believe that would be december 19th. Commissioner fung. This is the fourth continuance, and i think that is too many. We should make a decision or not, one way or the other. I am not supportive of that continuance. Commissioner moore. I am comfortable with the continuance. I would like the Commission Secretary to make the call about the calendar being full. I would agree with that observation, but you are normally the person calling anal alarming us to the calendar. I wouldnt have recommending to the 14th if i didnt think your calendar could handle it. I couldnt hear you. I wouldnt recommend it continued to the 14th if i didnt think the calendar could handle it. You are free to do what you would like to. If the maker of the motion accepting the friendly amendment. Commissioner moore. I would like to comment that i think or calendars are completely overcrowded and completely relieving after an hour and a half or two, i would like to see balance. I would like to say in the upcoming weeks, all the way through december 30th our calendars are quite full. We have a tems we would like a single line item that will take hours and hours. We need to take that reality check before we say a calendar is full or not. Is that based on your observation, commissioner richards. It is. I would support your asking for a further pushing out of that particular item. Commissioner fung. Commissioner, perhaps we can have a separate vote on that particular item. I am happy to do a separate vote. Commissioners, i think what he is saying we thought we could handle it on the 14th of november. I think that gives staff enough time to come up with the information we need. In the calendars, part of the reason that calendars are full and they are short is that projects pulling out or get continued. It is hard to know that in advance. I just want to say that the 14th could work and we could get the information to you in advance. Shall i call that question then with the exception to 21a. Yes.

We are on item 8 commission comments and questions. Commissioner moore. Hour questions. Four questions. I read in the paper that ucsf has plans to expand. We have looked at the institutional master plan and thought it to be stable. I read in the paper. I do not know the originator. That is it not true. I would like to hear from you in the upcoming weeks of what our position will be on that matter my second question is walking through town i see a lot of expired large meeting notification on all kinds of meetings. When i see the new ones and read them, i stop to read old ones long overdue, may, june. My question what are the rules surrounding the removal of those old notices. I dont know the answer to that. Commissioner, the short answer there are no rules. That is something to explore as a policy matter with the department. I think at some point it is a question of Building Maintenance and appearance. It luke. It wk bad with how reconduct ourselves with proper posters and regularly scheduled meetings. I would like to see that we address that in some form. My third question i appreciate receiving staff update with the restaurant with no complaints except for one small incident. I appreciate the thorough writing of that report. My last question is funny because i hardly noticed it. Why is Public Comment today being put to the end . That is highly unusual. I am wondering what caused us to do that. The cause is we are short one commissioner down to six. Our Commission President is out. We are aware one commissioner needs to leave early today. It threatens our quorum and ability to consider the action items. We have done this in the past. We dont expect it regularly. Occasionally we push it to the end of the agenda. It is easier for us to understand sitting here. It is hard for the public to understand because they prepare in a certain manner. We are put in a difficult situation short one commissioner out of seven and with absences. I appreciate your, plan nation. Thank you. Your explanation. If there is nothing further we will move to item 9. Directors announcements. I will say that there has been ucsf to remind you they are a state institution they dont come to the commission for approval, but they are working on their master plan. I fully expect. There is a Citizen Advisory Group meeting regularly with ucsf. We will be in touch with them to come on a voluntarily basis to the commission which they have done in the past. To be clear the master plan isnt determined yet. They are working on it. They have to do work to the existing buildings including replacing the existing hospital. It is a big deal. We will get them here before the master plan is final item 10 review of past events of the board of supervisors and board of appeal. Historic preservation did not meet yesterday. Afternoon, commissioners. Manager of legislative affairs. First is the ordinance to permit the Grocery Store at 555 fulton street with conditional use authorization. We heard this last week and recommended approval with modifications that included removing the reporting requirement and the sun set clause and clerical amendments. There was concern about nonformula Grocery Stores less affordable and why th the sun st provision was removed. Stuff clarified the operator is not in complains the Planning Commission can revoke the authorization. Any future tenant would have to comply with the approval regardless of the approval of sunset clause. They explained the recommendation to explain was to allow future tenants should trader joes leave without passing another ordinance. They moved to approval without the recommendation to remove the sun set clause. Additionally the language regarding how they are not as affordable was removed. I would note the affordability claim was in the study on the retail done in 2014. Next they considered the legislative changes and Development Agreement for 3333 california street this. Is a mixeduse project 734 dwelling units, 25 are affordable. 15,000 square feet of child care. Planning heard this on september 5th voted to certify and approof with entitledments and ledge lanetive changes. The public expressed concerns with the trees being removed. The type of retail use is permitted. The permitted hours of operation. They supported the alternative endorsed by the improvement association. Supervisor peskin asked if parking could be reduced from onetoone, which was agreed to. Supervisor stephanie made reduction in the few permitted uses in the controls plus reduction of hours of operation reducing the late from 2 00 a. M. To midnight. The committee considered both the jobs housing linkage fee and jobs housing fit report at the same time. The Planning Commission heard the jobs housing balance report on september 19th and voted to recommend approval. The fit report was repaired by the budget and legislative analysis published on october 16. It was done at the request of supervisor mar. It looked at actual and projected job growth and compares to Housing Projection. Not surprisingly they concluded insufficient construction of bmr housing as measured by the growth of lower wage jobs. It did not make any policy recommendations how the city should increase production of the units. It did include two nonpolicy recommendations. First the board could request planning for the annual report comparing the housing growth for income. Supervisor marindicated that he will introduce legislation to do that. The second the board could request to more closely track the revenue and report to the board the report was presented as preview to the linkage fee hearing which is why they were called together. During the Public Comment there were speakers, vast majority were in support of increasing the fee. Supervisor haney introduced amendments so the projects before september 10th would pay 57. 14 per square foot. After that date but before january 1st, 2020 would pay 63. 37 and after january 1st, 2022 would pay 69. 90. They forwarded to the full board with positive recommendation on 23 vote with supervisor safai voting against. I would note in the report this morning it includes Additional Information about the jobs housing or right fit housing report. This week supervisor brown and peskins 2031 bush street passed second read and the soma Advisory Community ordinance passed the second read. Supervisor peskin amended the planning code to add residential use characteristic called immediate length occupancy for corporate rentals we will bring it to you. Thank you. Did board of appeals met last night. 1794 filbert street was considered earlier this year where you denied the Building Permit for the vertical addition to the subject property. Zoning administrator denied the variance. The board heard this item on september 11, 2019 and continued to allow additional time for the Planning Department to reduce the size of the addition such that the variance would no longer be required and add one adu on the ground floor during this time the project sponsor addressed design comments and issued the adu waivers. They will approve as reviewed. 471 jessie street. The bedder hear board heard it d the appeal which led to disapproval because the mdu was not authorized for on site smoking. The original application indicated on site consumption would not be provided and clearly stated in the hearing materials. The board voted to deny appeal. They heard the appeal of Building Permit on the subject property Planning Commission heard this in october of 2018 and unanimously approved without modifications. The addition is within the rear yard with variance from the Zoning Administrator. It was appeal would to the board of supervisors in 2019 which withheld it. The variance was appealed to the board of appeals in april of 2019 which upheld the variance decision. Last night the board of appeals upheld the Building Permit application for the subject property. If there are no questions, we can move to your regular calendar, commissioners item 11 and 12a and b for case 2016006860env and ika at 65 ocean avenue. You will consider an appeal to the preliminary mitigated negative declaration, a home sf project authorization and in kind agreement. For the benefit of the public, both the appeal and the project authorizations will be considered together under one Public Comment period. Once staff makes their presentation, the appellant to the negative declaration will receive 10 minutes. Sponsor will respond to the appeal and present their project for a period of 15 minutes. Then we have granted organized opposition which will receive 10 minutes. Then open it up to the Public Comment period. Through the chair, i believe Public Comment will be reduced to two minutes per person. Vice president koppel and members of the commission. Michael lee, planning Department Staff. The item before you is the appeal of preliminary mitigated negative declaration for the proposed project at 65 ocean avenue. Last week we transmitted a packet containing a draft motion and appeal response. Appeal letter and amended m and d. I submitted minor amendments to exhibit a of the draft motion. In appeal response 3 on page 5 there is a table. We corrected one of the numbers and added a note to the table. We can address that in more detail if you have specific questions later in the hearing. The decision before you today is whether to adopt a motion to affirm the m and d if you find it could not have a significant effect on the environment. If affirm it may take action on entitlements. You can also send it back to planning for specific revisions or over rule and require the Planning Department to prepare an Environmental Impact report if you find there is substantial evidence to support a fair argument the project may have a significant effect on the environment. If the commission sends the m and d back to planning or requires planning to prepare ir the commission cannot take action on the entitlements at todays hearing. With that i will provide a brief overview of the project. This is a one acre. The site is just under one acre it consists of demolishing existing structures and new building with 193 units. One, two and three bedrooms with 48 below market rate units. There would be a 5942 square foot child care facility and below glared parking. Below grade parking. The appeal adjusts the ad was city of the discussion of the projects compati
