Parks and places of communicated and thanks to the mayor and the department of technology and supervisor farrell and google. We had a very very unique partnership that was able to bring wifi to our most heavily used parks and squares. Parks in particular are really important way of life and quality of life and so is connectivity. Bringing those two things together in a project like this is right on target with what San Francisco is and wants to be. Its all about breaking apart the divide. The people with expensive data plan can have access to information and economy. This is really breaking down the Digital Divide and giving people across the spectrum the opportunity to information and giving them mobility and freedom. Particularly by investing in connectivity in park spaces we are also ensuring the connection to Digital Inclusion opportunities and parks are designed for all neighborhoods. People are on the move. They are no longer chained to their desk tops at home. People can accomplish a lot and we prefer them being here an enjoying the outdoors and nature. Given all the mobile community and mobile information thats available. We thought it was important to make it for our parks acceptable for everyone and give everyone the opportunity to live and to work and be at the parks at the same time. Our full mission in life is to give them access to the internet, give them access to information. In San Francisco you dont have to be bottled up in an office. You can be around and enjoy your work anywhere. Its great for the local community here and it means a lot to me. In the park, you are people that can teach you about the trees in the park and you can go to parks and recreation. Org and having wifi in our parks makes it more accessible. If you want more information about how to enjoy wifi in San Francisco parks, go to this time. President melgar.

Im not sure how to understand that sentence. So page six, third from the bottom . Yes. Ruining the surprise. We take these down verbatim from the audio. But well look into that. And then thats it. Okay. Does anyone have any Public Comment on the draft minutes . With that, Public Comment is now closed. Move to approve. Second. On that motion to adopt the minutes for the november 21 closed and regular session as corrected. [roll call vote] that motion passes unanimously 70. Item 5, commission comments and questions. Commissioner moore . I would like to ask the commission to consider a discussion on the following. I see in gas stations where we have Small Service space which is like a tiny little local repair, that there are more and more being eliminated in making room to commercial component of retail expanding into sellingly core and alcohol selling liquor and alcohol. We are losing important labor space as we continue to eliminate gas stations, the ability to have a quick repair done at the gas station, including supporting Small Businesses is being lost. We had a discussion about that a few years ago when on the corner of california, for keeping the service bay. Women said we dont know anybody else. This is the person we trust with our small car repairs, and now we are seeing an erosion of that particular element in gas stations. I would like the commission to think about that. I would like us to fold that discussion into a broader look at service stations where they are located in serving the city as a whole. Thank you, commissioner richards. To commissioner moores point, i read a few times here about the lack of gas stations, they have to drive across island in manhattan to get gasrelated products. When we had the market octavia plan, somebody brought up the fact that all the corner gas stations are going to be turned into housing and i laughed at them like thats the whole point. And we started talking about a census of gas stations. At one point there were 100 and now theres 70. So maybe we could see the changing phos facetoface of how we fuel our car face of how we fuel our cars and look at creative ways like they have in japan and europe where you dont have to have a gas station. You can have a filling facility or a right on the curb pump so we can still have a good use of the land but also still, until carbonemitting cars are eliminated, be able to service, i think thats a great idea. It should be larger for the retail discussion that we have on our action item, the last big item that we havent really addressed yet. So just a question. I dont want to regurgitate. Theres an article in the paper yesterday, a law on housing, judge says san mateo can ignore californias statute. I read the article and got confused because theres rulings the charter cities dont have to follow it. Theres some challenges to s. B. 35 out there. I would love to have the City Attorney write us a memo on where everything stands, because we get people coming up here and saying im going to challenge you on x law or y law because you are going to cut ten feet off my bedroom. I would love to understand where all this litigation stands. Sure. Deputy City Attorney austin yang. We have issued several memos on housing accountability act. And we are tracking the san mateo case. Its at the trial court. And we will continue to track it. And we can keep you up to date. And the Huntington Beach case. Sure. Ill call you. Theres several out there. One other thing. In order to save time for the december 19 hearing, i canvassed a few commissioners and asked them if they received this memo dated december 10 from the director on the 4849 project. Its addressed to we Planning Commissioners. And nobody that i talked to said they received this. What i would like to do is hand this into mr. Ionin along with a set of questions i have so we can give them time to come answer the questions so we are not burning up time in the commission and to get this issue resolved on the 19th. Nobodys gotten this memo. I think you need to get it. Its addressed to you. And theres a lot of questions. So i would like you to distribute this for and also have him respond to that or bring answers to it. We are giving him two weeks. Thank you, commissioner. Anyone else . Okay. Seeing nothing further, we can move onto department matters. Directors announcements. Thank you. One item to talk to you about. It relates to a project that you heard of on the october 24th. At that hearing you heard an update of approved conditional use allowing a patio use for a restaurant on 458 grove street. It had been approved a year ago to operate until 10 p. M. At the hearing, the neighborhood filed a complaint and had concerns about the noise level. He filed a complaint with the department as well. We did go out and look at that. At the point we went out, we were unable to verify there was any violation. So as for context, you had heard this item immediately after the ocean avenue item. It was late in the day. And there was a little bit of staff wasnt clear about the direction that we were being given. So our intention at this point is to proceed with the complaint, do further enforcement analysis to see if there is a problem and get back to you to see if we find a problem. If you would like further hearing, we can do it at that time but our recommendation is to allow us to do more analysis to go out there in the evenings to see if theres a problem and get back to you then. So with that, i have no other announcements today. Thank you. Very good. If there are no questions, item 7, review of past events of the board of supervisors and board of appeals. There was no Historic PreservationCommission Hearing yesterday. There is no board of supervisor report. So there is a report from the zoning administerrer sanchez. The board of appeals did meet and considered three ims that may be of interest to the Planning Commission. Item 1, 610 delmar, they heard the denial of Building Permit for a deck at the hear as noted in past summaries the board continued this item several times to allow the parties to meet. The parties were not able to come to a resolution. In the d. R. Action they based their denial on a previous private agreement for a similar proposal. The board voted unanimously to overturn the denial and approve the project, noting the staff d. R. Analysis found the project to be compliant with guidelines. The board noted the city doesnt enforce private agreements since the Planning Commissions decision lacked any other base. Item 2, 22nd street, the board heard the appeal of d. B. I. s revocation of nine Building Permits. The board found the project sponsor violated building and planning codes by providing inaccurate plans and exceeding the work of scope on the permits, including work that will require a variance to legalize. The board also questions whether the permit should have been suspended rather than revoked. They continued the item to allow them to work with d. B. I. To provide complete plans and establish a path forward. Item 3, annual report, lastly, the board heard and adopted their annual report and the department will forward the final version of the report to the commission when it becomes available. Seeing no questions, we can move onto general Public Comment. At this time members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the jurisdiction of the commission, except agenda items. With respect to agenda items your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded. Each member of the public may address the commission for up to two minutes. I have two speaker cards. Thank you. Christy evans and georgia. Anyone else who wishes to come up and provide general Public Comment, you may do so now. Hi. My name is cricetinae vans. Im the president of the haightashbury Merchants Association. Im here to call your attention to 1672 haiti street. Haight street. You can see a headline that appeared that a new business is planning to open in the former record store location. Normally this would be an on occasion for celebration that a new business arrived. However it appears this is a formula retail. The website for the company, it appears they have approximately 30 locations. We have reported this to the Small Business department and have been in contact with planning and has been responsive to our emails so far this week. We wanted to make sure that we had clarity on how the city is going to approach this particular situation. The board of the Merchants Association met at our regularlyscheduled monthly meeting this morning. And they took a position that generally, we are in support of businesses coming into the street that has a number of vacancies. However, in this circumstance, i believe it is also the building owner. So there was a vacancy in that location, nor was there need for them to close suddenly. But rather it appears that landlord has made a deal with a formula retailer and perhaps there is some confusion about what the compliance is in this particular case. And just to call your attention, there is another formula retailer with a very similar Business Model of secondhand clothing, a block away, that is going through the conditional use process at 1560. So the Merchant Association would like to hear more about what the city plans to do in this particular situation and circumstance and what it can do. Its also really unfortunate situation because we understand that employees have been hired and the business is set to open this week. Thanks so much. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. Ive been talking recently, if i can again, about a project for the kitchens or inefficient use of space. And it sounds weird but youll get it in a minute. Can i have the overhead, please . This is a picture of a restaurant, the kitchen in the restaurant. But heres the picture of a kitchen in a spec project house. To me they look very similar. Here is the original plan of this house. It was an alteration, extreme alteration. And oh, sorry. Theres the original kitchen there. See that little space. With bedrooms around it. And now here it is here, all this space. And then it was blown upside down stairs and dow
