Bit more space. And the stairs, you can see here were just at an awkward position, and we configured that to i felt a better condition. And the other comment was it greatly improves an existing conditions. These decks are very unsightly, very bulky, and very large. And the way they were structurally built, they were starting to show some major structural issues, particularly with dry rot. So if a condition is we require the decks to be set back 3 feet, there is no project at that point . Im saying we would have a 5 foot deck. You would still do the project and the reconstruction of the stairs. Thats a question for my client to answer, but i i believe we would accept we would accept that, yeah. Okay. Thank you. Are we still on the historic part . Its a joint hearing, so yeah. Yeah. I mean, im looking at this, and, you know, my understanding would be that the if the existing condition had its required fire wall, it would be in the exact same position, and the new one would actually be smaller. But of course when the deck was built, no one required a fire wall at the property line. If they had to pull it in 3 feet, it would cut through theres a sliding window its an awkward plan. Theres an existing window, but theyre putting a slider in there. Its not a sliding door, so theyre replacing it. They were existing. Theyre two sliding doors theres a door on both levels. Okay. Its there its not a window. Okay. Thank you. Do i have a motion . Yeah. I i would move to approve as designed. Approve with conditions. Second, please. And second. Thank you. Clerk thank you, commissioners. On that motion, then, to approve this matter with conditions [roll call] clerk so moved, commissioners. That motion passes unanimously, 60. Assistant zoning administrator, what say you . Take the matter under advisement based upon the Additional Information provided by the project sponsor to render a decision at a later date. Thank you.

The upcoming visit the plans and programs package of our we are talking about with our feedback and participation that is important to us not everyone takes this so be proud of taking ann we have private and Public Gardens throughout the garden tour. All of the gardens are volunteers. The only requirement is youre willing to show your garden for a day. So we have gardens that vary from all stages of development and all gardens, family gardens, private gardens, some of them as small as postage stamps and others pretty expansive. Its a variety all of the world is represented in our gardens here in the portola. I have been coming to the portola garden tour for the past seven or eight years ever since i learned about it because it is the most important event of the neighborhood, and the reason it is so important is because it links this neighborhood back to its history. In the early 1800s the portola was farmland. The regions flowers were grown in this neighborhood. If you wanted flowers anywhere future bay area, you would come to this area to get them. In the past decade, the area has tried to reclaim its roots as the garden district. One of the ways it has done that is through the portola garden tour, where neighbors open their gardens open their gardens to people of San Francisco so they can share that history. When i started meeting with the neighbors and seeing their gardens, i came up with this idea that it would be a great idea to fundraise. We started doing this as a fundraiser. Since we established it, we awarded 23 scholarships and six work projects for the students. The Scholarship Programs that we have developed in association with the portola is just a winwinwin situation all around. The Scholarship Program is important because it helps people to be able to tin in their situation and afford to take classes. I was not sure how i would stay in San Francisco. It is so expensive here. I prayed so i would receive enough so i could stay in San Francisco and finish my school, which is fantastic, because i dont know where else i would have gone to finish. The scholarships make the difference between students being able to stay here in the city and take classes and having to go somewhere else. [ ] [ ] you come into someones home and its theyre private and personal space. Its all about them and really their garden and in the city and urban environment, the garden is the extension of their indoor environment, their Outdoor Living room. Why are you here at this garden core . Its amazing and i volunteer here every year. This is fantastic. Its a beautiful day. You walk around and look at gardens. You meet people that love gardens.

He will give us a word of gratitude. Please welcome David Elliott lewis. [applause] how are you all doing . I just want to share a few thoughts about gratitude. It is the season of gratitude. I hope when i talk about what i am grateful for you will be able to relate to it. First i am grateful for life itself, being able to wake up healthy in a home. I am especially grateful for it. Community housing for giving me a home. I give back by being a board member. I am grateful for the organizations i volunteer with and i found recovery with by helping the organizations central city collaborative who helps people who live in hotels like many of the members like me are formerly homeless. We found homes through giving back to the community. I am great for full for the tender line peoples congress. This wouldnt happen without the tenderloin congress. We are volunteers who come together to Work Together in the neighborhood to produce events for the neighborhood, to produce the plan called the peoples plan vision 2020 that matt haney has been working with us on. I am grateful for it. I am really grateful for mayor london breed and what she has done for our city and helping with Mental Health programs, Mental Health, San Francisco, working with matt haney and Hillary Ronen and 11 out of 11 supervisors passing it. Thank you for coming together. This is my final bit of gratitude. I am so grateful for senator scott weiner who has helped find funding for the organization i work with called Mental Health association of San Francisco. We run the warm line. We were in danger of closing it down and now we can serve the entire state taking people with Mental Health challenges providing text and telephone support for anyone who needs it in the state of california around the clock to talk about any issue they want. If scott didnt help us find finding this wouldnt have happened. Thank you, senator weiner, i am so grateful. With that i will turn the microphone back over to curtis. Thank you, david. I am grateful for you, david. We kept her waiting long enough, right . I am excited she is here. I am going to do a little intro. Mayor breed is a San Francisco native. She was raised right in the western addition. She went to galileo high school. She earned a masters degree at the university of San Francisco. She is a daughter of the city. Prior to historicallylection, which was the moment in 2018 she served on the board of supervisors peboard ofsuperviso. She is committed to creating a more equitable and just San Francisco. As i understand you came from opening up the new Navigation Center on the embarcadero. Thank you. We are congratulations and thank you for doing that. We are so thrilled chirrenned for the Second Annual returned for the second celebration. Give a huge tenderloin welcome to mayor london breed. Mayor breed i am excited to be in the tenderloin. We know that a lot of challenges, not only chest in the tl but all o San Francisco. As someone who grew up here, i was raised by my grandmother in public housing, and i understand what challenge feels like. I live. It 20 years of my life. Nothing is more important to me than making sure the city does a better job of investing in more shelter beds, investing in more housing so people have a safe affordable place to call home. Lets be clear. Yesterday i made it clear to department heads, when it comes to the upcoming budget. If it is not about cleanliness of streets, not about housing, not about shelters, then it will not be priority. Let mere supervisor know the same thing. At the end of the day i want to be clear about where i stand as a daughter of this city, as someone who has seen so many people that i grew up with get booted out of the city because we did not build enough housing fast enough. We got work to do, folks, and i am grateful and honored to be your mayor and celebrate the holidays right here in the th ie tenderloin. When i see the women behind me today, i see my grandmother. When i see so many folks that still live here that grew up in the western edition and live in the tenderloin, i see my community and i understand the importance of the work that we do. We also need to take the time to pause and to celebrate and to feel happiness and joy and this Amazing Community by doing this two years in a row, lighting this beautiful tree, is demonstrating they are not going to let anybody stop their joy. I am happy to be here with senator scott weiner, captain fabbry, Phil Ginsburg to support this community at boeddeker park that is open and available for kids to play and enjoy. I am excited to be your mayor at this time. I know we have work to do. I know together we are going to change the future of this city, and i am committed to doing just that. Thank you all so much. [applause] one more time for our mayor. Come on. We are glad to have you here. She will be here for the count down. Next i would like to introduce another face, senator wiener represents San Francisco in our california state senate. Elected in 2016, he chairs the Senate Housing committee. The california legislative lgbtq caucus which is awesome and amazing. Before that he was on the board of supervisors right here in San Francisco. I found out that you also practiced law for 15 years which i didnt know about. It is interesting you were a deputy City Attorney in San Francisco. He has lived in the Castro District of San Francisco for a long time. In fact, i used to see him riding around the city on muni when he wasnt in sacramento representing us as he is now all of the time. I also know that is why transportation, housing anvil ad civil rights are the focus of his work. Please make our senator feel welcome here. Happy holidays. I am grateful for a few things. I am very, very grateful for the tenderloin community. There are people who dont spend a lot of time in this community that have stereotypes about it. I have spent a lot of time here and i go through this neighborhood a lot. This is a neighborhood full of the most warm and kind and welcoming people. I want to thank you for welcoming me into this Amazing Community. I am grateful for boeddeker park. I remember when we opened this park five years ago, what it was like before and what it is now. This is an amazing resource for the community. I am so grateful for being in the city that prioritizes parks and prioritizes public space for our community. That is what a Healthy Community is about. Finally, i am so deeply grateful for the honor of representing San Francisco in the california state senate. We are working so hard to bring San Francisco values to the state level and nationally. Our values of embracing diversity and immigrants neighbors, values of lifting everyone up and not leaving people behind. We are working hard to expand access to Mental Health service, to legalize Safe Injection Sites in San Francisco, we are working to make it easier to build Navigation Centers and Supportive Housing and to reform our broken criminal justice system. We are doing all of these things because we get it right in San Francisco. We need to make sure our progressive values prevail nationally. We have a lot of work to do next year. Happy holidays everyone, and have a great evening. [applause] thank you, senator. Next we were expecting supervisor matt haney. I know you all love him, but he is still doing his work. He is at work. The board of supervisors is still in session. They are doing their job. He is out there doing what we are paying him to do. I have a very special guest that is going to speak on his behalf. I want to make tons of noise and welcome matt haneys mother. [applause] well, first of all, i want to say how happy i am to be here in matts home. As his mother he lives a couple blocks from here. I got to know many of you over the past year or so, and you lift him up every day. I feel just very blessed and very grateful for this community, for the Community Groups who fight so hard, for the things that i know matt and all of you care deeply about. No matter where matt is and i know he cant stand right here right now, his heart is with you. He would tell me to wish you happy holidays of every kind. I hope we can see the tree soon. Thank you. This big button says matts mom. They just call her matts mom. If we can get senator weiner and mayor breed we will do a count down and light the tree. Are you ready to see the tree . Yes.
