Shame and more than that harmful to lose that open space. Its understanding open green space and hard scaped. It has an impact again on how people con agre con gra gate ane space and the heat related increases as people are more and more concerned about global warming. And water run off. So again, were in favor of housing and keeping the grown gn space. Thank you. Supervisor yee next speaker. Good afternoon. My name is barbra brener. I am here as a neighbor of the 3333 california project. Im in favor of over turning the Planning Commissions approval of the Developers Plan as currently submitted. I speak in support of building 700 plus units on the site but with the strategy that is less didisruptive. Theres been a pattern of impropriety with the proposal before you. The site would have caused modifications in the design. In addition, flexible retail was never discussed nor was it mentioned in the Environmental Impact report so neighbors had no ability to consider it and respond. The e. I. R. , which was filed, did not analyze alternatives to the proposed project. Several issues exist beyond by allowed time limit but id like to address just one. Trees. Mature, historical trees and green space simply cannot be replaced with new plantings and cement landscaping. Eye recognize that the deliberations on this project have gone on for a long time. But the series of misssteps intentional or otherwise, provide compelling reasons to return this proposal back to planning. Supervisor yee next speaker. Good afternoon. I have lived on jordan avenue since 1992. Laurel hill is a gem in our city. We have the mature trees and open space landscape. I like the beautiful trees. I oppose the changing in zoning. This is open until 2 00 a. M. With all the traffic and noise that will destroy the character of this area. The Community Plan provides the same amount of Housing Units and affordable Senior Housing while reserving the greenery of the property and also saying this magnificent trees. Please save laurel hill and i hope you give the character of our neighborhood. Thank you. Supervisor yee next speaker. Good afternoon. My name is vaness a i have lived in district 2 for 22 years. I understand the prado group is proposing to bulldoze and flatten the hill at 3333 california and sho chop down 200 trees and face the oldest landmark. Laurel hill gardens cemetery. As well as the cemetery, for San Francisco pioneers u. S. Senators and civil war heroes, its a treefilled park for San Francisco residents. Since i noticed the Historic Cemetery plaque missing from the red brick wall a few years ago, i wondered why would anyone want to erase this history. It made me sad. Well, as a result, it seems that the job of marking and memorializing this important San Francisco landmark has been left to its survivors, the trees. Some of these large, old growth trees are monument to this lost history. In addition to the history, many studies have reported that the loss of large, old trees leads to an over all loss of urban biodiversity. They are critical ecological structures because relative to their size, they are disproportionate providers of resources crucial to wildlife. Its times of Necessary Development and help preserve the landmarks that define your cities rich history. Concern neighborhoods are not anti development. But surely these developers have the ability to build with respect to San Franciscos history. Thank you. Good afternoon. My name is bill cutler. My wife and i have lived in Laurel Heights on california street one block from the site of the proposed development for almost 50 years. We believe the feir should not be approved. It does not address the full Environmental Impact to our neighborhoods and its not properly analyzed and contrast prados proposal with the community are preservation look a look variant. A serious alternatives that builds the same amount of house north four years while preserving most of the green space. The cplv does this without violating current zoning laws, adding retail that will only negatively impact the businesses in Laurel Village. The owners of super markets have signed a statement detailing these concerns. The e. I. R. Did not evaluate impacts on traffic noise or air quality from multiple, flexible retail uses sharing the same retail space. The i. I. R. Only evaluated single use restaurant and retail uses. The local community was never told about flexible retail being included and flexible retail is not allowed anywhere else in district 2 and is not even allowed in the sacramento and fill more Street Commercial districts. Supervisor stefani introduced the s. U. D. After the completion of the feir. The comment was made the changes to the new zoning and subdivision map process are not included in the e. I. R. , thats not true. They will have a major effect on the future of Laurel Heights. And need to be included the introduction of flexible retail by design allowing more than one tenant in a retail space. Another disturbing aspect of the plans involve removing the healthy new Zealand Christmas trees that line california street. These trees are a vital part of our neighborhood and replacing them with fruitless olive trees to make prados Development Look like an extension of Laurel Village does not justify cutting them down in this era of toxic air and Climate Change. Theyre not on prados property. From the beginning supervisor yee thank you. Next speaker. Thank you for having us. I just want to say that i can beat everyone here. I have lived there for 0 70 yea. Ive seen a lot of changes. Bob saw the landscaping for the people working in the office to give everyone a view of the landscape but the neighborhood. We grew up there playing and going to five works, celebrations, all kinds of celebrations and there was never a no press passing sign and no one asked us to leave whether it was u. C. So, its been a very special place for a lot of people in the neighborhood. And i also would like to mention with the previous man just spoke about, and thats the traffic. If any of you have driven over euclid street lately, first of all its destroyed with all the roundabouts. You kent get through and there have been serious incidents and the police are over there giving tickets out. Id like to also add that to it. Thank you. Thank you. Supervisor yee next speaker. Hi, im kelly robertson. If the overhead could be turned on thats great. Good afternoon, supervisors. I hope you are all well. I would like to spend a moment discussing the value of the 3333 california site. Based on fair market value, the developers have possibly received a windfall of over 100 million when they purchased the property for 90 million. The u. C. System could have received another 100 million to add vans educational and research efforts. The developer paid 203 per squarely foot for a unique piece of property in a prestigious location. It has fully installed utilities, gas, electricity, water, sewer, transit and has shopping and services and an Office Building, if it were fully rented could generate 200 million per year in rental revenue. So, for example, unimproved lands in San Francisco, utilities in the revenue and sells between 250 and 480 of square foot. Land with revenue introducing buildings begin at 1200 per square foot. Based on the above 3333 california street has a fair market value of between i should move it. 425 per square foot and up to 500 per square foot even at i discounted rate. Based on the above, we would request that the board of supervisors require the 10 of the units in this project, 75, be Affordable Housing for middle income families and to have that included in the project. Thank you, very much for your time and interest. Supervisor yee next speaker. My name is robin mackie and i live kiddie corner across the other corner of the city. Im in Bernal Heights and ive there there since 1980. Im very concerned. I understand that 200 mature trees will be cut down and these mature trees, just by being alive are combating Climate Change. Your vote may be a local vote. But its much, much larger. Its a vote for the future of our planet and your children, grandchildren and future generations. So i urge you, please support the appeal of the e. I. R. Thank you. Supervisor yee next speaker. I believe that i am younger. Many come as representatives representing our families and our friends and you can imagine the runs of thousands represented by teach of us today. These trees, as Living Networks of individuals, we have addressed the importance of these 200 and 300 trees since the carbon and combating the world altering future of Climate Change and its worth considering the trees already destroyed and Development Efforts before the state. I call upon San Francisco to be a leader and commitment towards socially responsible Housing Development and up to us here in this almost to consider the impact of this and the many future projects. Thank you. Supervisor yee thank you. Next speaker. Hi, i dont have a voice so its ok if my friend here reads this. She doesnt have a voice. Can i read her statement for her. Supervisor yee yes. This is raz. I believe we can have housing and preserve the already existing trees. These two things are not mutually exclusive. Section 16 article 808 and 810 of the urban forestry ordinance of San Francisco state its a crime to abuse, injury, tree within San Francisco and during this september 19th, public works hearing, public works forestry expert stated that these trees on the chopping block were healthy, mature, significant all of them so that i would like to know how its possible the developers of this project have never been asked if they have plans for preservation. In all the hearings, preservation has never been offered as an o when asked about removal they stated things like there will be a door where these two massive trees are or that retail space should go to the curb across the wide sidewalk. I would ask is it possible for you to move the doorway a couple feet to the left or right or possible to include the already existing trees. All we hear from the developers is these trees will be replaced by sam bellings, its an afterthought. This should be about quality and not quantity. Even 88 samplings cannot do the heavy listing that mature trees provide us. Additionally, trees are teched beffectedby public trees. They belong to the people. The city has done a horrible job of informing the public of this merit. Up until today, most people didnt know they were at risk when they find out theyre shocked and sad and confused. The first question are they sick . The answer is no and thats verified by public work itself. Please remember that if you grant this permit theyre able to chop down whatever 200 trees exist on the property. Replacement is murder. In this age of Climate Change protest its irresponsible to cut down more trees. Do not grant the permit and ask for an alternative plan. Thank you. Supervisor yee thank you. Hope you get your voice back soon. Next. Mr. President , duffy im a San Francisco resident and i come from a state where they chop the forest down. To drive steam boats on the mississippi river. And then after that when all those trees are gone they discovered coal. Brilliant. I just believe that there has to be some kind of sim beosis between trees and carpenters. Look, we all know were not going to meet our 2029 Climate Change goals. So, we got one foot in the grave what are we going to do put the foot in another grave . I said it over and over, if you wanted to do something about Climate Change it would not look like what were doing and this project is a perfect example of that. When we have projects they have to have more benefits. I see weve got a row of suits here. I got to tell you im tired of the Planning Department bringing plans that just dont meet the great and i know its hard to sustain an appeal. Im a 47 year resident of laurel near california street and a 66yearold resident of district 2 and im certainly generally supportive of building housing on this site and i feel supportive of a number of aspect but the e. I. R. Has flaws. There is inadequate off Street Parking in the plans. If you have looked for parking in our neighborhood, you already spend anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes any time of the day or evening looking for parking. And that is even true of those of us who have a residential parking permit. The parking permits for this area section f are already over sold by 100 and they immediately adjacent parking areas and its over sold with residential permits by 124 and so you add 744 units and some will have off Street Parking and you create an additionellal parking and creates more and more cars circling all these blocks and creating more emission problems which are not addressed by the current e. I. R. So thank you for your consideration. Hell oh im a resident of San Francisco and im very pleased to be here to warp in what i think of as democracy in action at this hearing. I oak owe most of the prior people have spoken we need Affordable Housing. I need Affordable Housing. We need this does not address that unfortunately. But we also need to remember what is it that makes up a city i think its the people who make up the city. What makes a great city . Its a feeling of community. Maybe its not true but its the way it feels because when i Community Comes together with plans and theyre disregarded it feels like the people that live there dont count and so i feel like it needs to be really looking at alternate plans and if you take a drive in that neighborhood, if you take a drive you will see all over in the singlefamily homes and the low Rise Apartments that are there, signs in tons of windows saying save laurel hill. People feel like the city of abandoning us and giving away our city to someone who can make money off of it. I ask you to please remember that weve voted for you maybe it a viable plan. Here in opposition to the final approval of the e. I. R. Within a few blocks of each other, there are currently three projects in the laurel hill area the california street campus and the lucky penny and 333 california street each has a different project sponsor and each has had a very different outcome and cpmc and the lucky penny have had positive outcomes with the project sponsors working with the neighbors. As the board can see for themselves the 3333 california Street Project has not had a positive outcome. This is due in large part to the hardball tactics used by the project sponsors. I am also opposed to the development being the 7 to it would be a much larger size and again, i am opposed to the final e. I. R. Certification and im supporting the appellant. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker. Hello, supervisors. Thank you for having me here. Im fill fernandez and ive been a resident of this city and taxpayer since 1973 and i strongly encourage you to deny the appeal. There a lot of nimby opposition to the project its a positive forward step to provide housing. Its not your turn to speak right now. I apologize. Can you have a seat and well give you an opportunity later. Im sorry. This is in support of the appeal or opposition of the project. Overhead, please. Im rose. Id like to bring up something. But theres something in there that wasnt mentioned. A lot of times people say oh weve got 500 some odd trees to replace 500 trees. When is it a tree not a tree . Unequal environmental benefits and theres a website i referenced and times 269 sampling you need 49,765 zap rings and d. P. W. Of 1948 and you multiply that minimum 361,695. 91,915,955 if you take all those other trees. I go through and you can see on this slide, what is the equivalent, well theres the cam accumulation. You want Economic Impact i didnt know what i was doing. Sorry. So you got 15 trees move and 7,452,000 and the tree removal trees and it says 1611 and theyre not trees and 362 trees for the initial study, i dont know what the number is anymore. So then, you have 530 quote trees and its 1 of the zap ling equivalent of mature trees removed and include this under sunshine 67. 16. Maybe i got the wrong section but i turned it in for whoever wants it. Thank you. So, theres an overflow room and ive been informed that the people in the overflow room theres no one in there that is speaking in support of the appellant. So, if theres no i will close public comment. Thank you for your comments. Ok. So were going to move on with our hearings. We will have up to 15 minutes from the representatives of the Planning Department and public works. Good afternoon, supervisors. Im bruce the city and county surveyor before you is the appeal of tentative map 9956 which is a 739 unit phased final map project located at 3333 california.

The department of city planning, the department of building inspection, puc, public works, infrastructure design and construction and traffic a public hearing for the project. Order 201836 to consider approval of the tentative map. Ke
