And actually, i talked with staff and they had the same problem. We need to take a magnifying glass to the printing and its probably the vendor needing to change cartilage cartridges. We made need to end up changing our procedures of reverting back to having project sponsors submit the plans on their own, currently they are being printed through repro mail, but if this continues to be a problem, we will revert back to having project sponsors submit plans on their own.

Reasonably soon, yes. Commissioner johnson . Well within first, first, i o welcome our newest commissioner and so excited to have you with us, saw the hearings and just, yeah, its a credit to have you part of the team and the other thing i want to mention last night at spur, we were part of a program called regioning the Planning Commission, which was an idea that came up both in a conversation that i had had with chrisy long and my own time here, thinking about this incredible space that we gather in every week to, yes, talk about code and planning, but more importantly, talk about who we are and who were becoming as a city and thinking about creative structures or designs to help better facilitate those deeper level conversations. It was a really fun night, even though thats not the most exciting topic in the world, but it is to a lot of people. It was a packed house and incredible recommendations, i think, came forward and everything from how we make the ability to become a Planning Commissioner more accessible to more people, including potentially being compensated, term limits and things like that, to how were structuring the cases that were hearing every week to where were holding the hearings and knowing city hall is not the only seat of power in the city. There are many places people are gathering to determine what they want for their communities and the city at large. And so, im still processing a lot of what was of the conversation that happened. But i definitely want to bring back concrete ideas. And i just want to thank everybody who came out. Great, thank you. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our new commissioner. I know shes been at the hearings over the past couple of years and she hit the ground running, glad to have you here. You may have seen yesterday mayor breed announced her new hire as the new planning director for San Francisco. Yesterday mayor breed announced the appointment of the planning director and the commissioner voted 42 to forward a slate of candidates to the mayor and commissioner richards was absent and commissioners fung and moore were the two dissenting votes. Ill move to item number 7. Ill add we look forward to working with you, even though ill be here for two more weeks and do call on us if staff can help go through the process and any way we can help in the meantime and i certainly would welcome that. Definitely. Theres a lot of oneonone training as we call it for a lot of new folks that come into the department. So were happy to do that, as well. I wanted to mention, in light of the coming transition to the new director, i will be spending a fair amount of time with rich hilles going over key projects, procedures, calendars and theres a new briefing book for the working of the department and specifics of our work plan and i will be spending time to make sure before i leave, so theres a smooth transition Going Forward. If you have any thoughts or forwards, im happy to neighboring them, as well. Thank you. Item 8, review of past events, no report from the board of appeals or the Historic Preservation commission. The Planning Department staff. Aaron star typically gives the summary and since hes ill today, ill be doing that and lets dive in. Nothing to report back from the Land Use Committee hearing as that meeting was hearing. But on tuesday, the board did meet with four items that are pertinent to this commission. The first was the inordinance of the administrative code regarding the north of market, Affordable Housing fees expect fund and that passed second read and then amending the planning code which would authorize interim activities at Development Sites and that passed the first read. Theres also an appointment of resolution to appointment and that passed and the last item was an appeal of conditional use authorization at 95nordoff street, continued to march 10,. There were no introductions this week and that concludes the summary, thank you. If there are no questions, we can move on to general Public Comment. At this time, maternal members e public may address the committee. With respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when its reached in the meeting and each member may address the commission for up to three minutes and i do have several speaker cards, ross levy, georgia shudish, alex neuman and any others othe who wish to adds can line up on the screen side of the room. Good afternoon, im ross levy, an architect in San Francisco and the former chair of the Public Policy committee at the aia. I am here to acknowledge the appointment as the new director, rich hilles, and to pay respects and thanks to the outstanding director. I respect the mayors wisdom in appointing something with the department and the strengths and weaknesses. We appreciate what director hilles has said publically about bringing more focus and streamlining to the department. I do understand the need for Affordable Housing production and the associated idea of gee graphicageographical equity andd to benefit so housing can be produced in every district in the city. And once again, we welcome director hilles. Thank you, next speaker, please. Welcome, new commissioner, nice to see you here. Im georgia shudish and for the last six years iv, ive been talking about section 317 and here is a copy for you and actually theres one i never gave out to the record and there it is, its a letter from june 10th, 2019 about adjusting the demo calcs and i never heard anything from anybody. I sent a letter including director ram, including the future director and now its there and i lay out the reason why i think the demo calc should be adjusted in terms of conducting affordability in housing and dealing with alterations that are extreme that should be treated as demolitions. Its interesting, i refer in the letter to the code implementation document and i just realized that theres two code implementation documents. Theres one from 2014 that saysn updated one, and the original one from 2010 thats more extensive and i have an email ask about that. But the bottom line is in the code, in the planning code itself, you can adjust the demo calcs. The reason to do is for policy efficacy to preserve Affordable Housing. The other thing in this packet is an email i wrote in response to the ret which got kneecapped and in the ret, it doe does dise demolition in and i found this concerning. The ret, if you remember, the peskik legislation was getting rid of 317 and no way to deal with alterations that may be reasonable or may not be reasonable and thats the two tracks of thought. One was to adjust the demo calcs or you could do it whenever you notice it. The demo calcs, theres a lot out there and ill be showing pictures next week that i think illustrate this or you could come up with your own definition thats based on what was said at the two joint hearings with bic and hearing about vertical expansions and theres a copy for the record, if the current commissioner the former or the existing or the previous commissioners want to read it, its in the record and i gave a copy and welcome, i wish you best of luck. Thank you. Thank you all. Thank you, next speaker, please. Ilene bogan, coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods here on my behalf and to welcome imperial as the new commissioner. I was at the board of supervisors and it was gratifying to see all of the the Community Advocates who came out to support your appointment and gratifying when the full board confirmed your appointment unanimously. Thank you for being willing to serve. Im sure bill surrow is smiling down from heaven. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker, please. Patricia voin in 2015, i came to you in front of this board and told you if you combine all of these units into one, youll have a housing issue and its still happening. Theres several in the marina hall that didnt even have hearings and yet they have a permit up there with permit numbers. Im concerned about housing. If you take away housing, one unit and put a little kitchenette, theyre building a big house saying this is our second unit and not using it but using it as guest houses. We also have a section of the marina calhollow which nobody wants to listen to us, but its almost totally middleclass and if this keeps going, they wont be able to stay there. We have to start thinking about the middleclass. If you look at the wording on it, it had nothing to do with the middle in the middle to lower class and theyre left out of the policies of this city and thats your daughters and your granddaughters and your sisters. And you really have to start thinking what youre doing. My second phase is tourism. Youre ruining the tourism of the city in certain neighborhoods by automatically saying everything has to be modern. The Lombard Carter was voted on in 1997, i believe, to have more of the marina look with tile roofs. It went to public hearings, through the board of sou supervisors. In iyou put media architecture h giant windows and when those windows stop popping and they are many of the same windows we used in fulsome street, i guarantee you, there will be lawsuit. Lawsuits. I want you to think of the neighborhood character, as well. Things dont have to be copies, but if you want to come out and i can drive you through the city and show you some wonderful modern buildings that fit in with some of the more traditional, but the ones that are just all windows that look like they came out of a mall in north dakota, were going to lose it. And the German Tourists were all over Chestnut Street this last week and the first thing they all said was we come here because of the architecture. Now this is the economics of the city. This is what gives us jobs. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. Im laura lavin, im at 221 street. Thank you for having us. Were really glad to be back and consult you again, congratulations to faces i havent seen before. And the last time we attended, suggested we suggest we stick with raymond castio and matt hainey and were grateful for all of the advice. For those who havent leader of us, we started six years ago to serve artists of all kinds where we live, create and Work Together. Its a tightknit community of people and we love sharing it. Weve hosted hun hundreds of individuals as well as group events, all of which are below market rentals and we support everyone with material, as well as inkind support. Its a unique space. If youve seen it, you know that it is not easily replaced and both in the architecture and zoning and it is zoned mixed use, residential and thats pretty rare. Its just beautiful. And we love the community we built, as well. Its also irreplaceable and surpassed expectations and if we were to stop existing, the community would survive, but we wouldnt have a home or magnet place to get together and keep doing what we do. And that would just be a tragedy. And we are at the risk of losing our home, not for the first time. Even though when we started, our landlord was in agreement about legalizing the residential use, weve met with nothing with resistance in trying to do it. Evacuee spent a lot of time, money, energy, research, trying to make this happen and weve been blocked at every corner. As we mentioned last time, the landlord signed an authorization for the beginning of our conversion and she has revoked it twice. The legislation seems to say you cant do that. Were not actually sure how shes revoking signed authorization thats been noter noterrized. This seems to deny the entire process. Thank you so much. Thanks so much. Next speaker, please. Im alex numan, actually at the same address. Weve decided that were not going to have all of the people here speak at your commission, although were happy for you to speak afterwards and i wanted to fill in a couple of other things, just because im not sure if theyve been said. Laura and i were some of the original people who founded this community and its very important, some having other things that should be known. Many inspectors have come to determine theres to life safety hazards, all fire exits are clear and all of the bedrooms have windows. Weve had ongoing attempts to legalize use for years and we have spent thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars, actually, with lawyers, and the architect was actually here and nice of him to hear, permit expediters and spent thousands of hours improving the place and its been a huge expense in terms of hours. We need you to require this Property Owner to complete legalization. I probably should have brought a copy of the legislation, but just one small portion i would like to read into the record. The ordinance amending the planning code to require conditional use authorization for the removal of any residential unit, whether authorized or unauthorized and to exempt from the conditional use application requirement unauthorized units where theres no legal path or residential units, planning approval and singlefamily homes that are unaffordable and sound, amending the code to notice of violation order and the filing of application to legalize an authorized unit, the Planning Commission approves the removal or serious imminent hazard exists, with the Planning Departments determine ace under the quality act and findings of the general plannings, code, section 302 and the eight plannings, 101. 1. I dont have much time, but the application we sought to legalize existing Group Housing and Community Arts uses at the subject property, miss butiara contacted the Planning Department and said they did not authorize this application despite theyre noterrized twice to do so in the application packet. It requires conditional use to remove housing of this nature and several different pieces of legislation were passed, requiring Property Owners in unauthorized habitations to legalize or face enforcement penalties or to comply with the avaluse legislation and sorry, thats all of the the tim all o. The Application Form referred to it as 225 lemon street but the address is 221. Got it. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Linda chapman, from what i hope i dont have to refer to as the late, great knob hill. You know, before most of your time, throughout of 70s and thg to save it. I was the community organizer. Although i will not say i wasses the leader. Hundreds of people w
