Operator you have two questions remaining. Caller i want to thank you for continuing the 526 lombard Street Project which we and about two dozen neighbors and the telegraph association strongly oppose. Your continuance will give dpw a chance to reexamine and to clarify if the alley is indeed to be legally built up to the stockton elevation which is a difference of 11 feet. We do not believe so. We would also like to invite you to visit the alley some day. Thank you very much. Operator you have one question remaining. Hi, commissioners. The first is number one on the agenda and that is 350 to 352 san jose avenue. And i believe that a continuance longer continuance s warranted on this one. It is proposed for july 9, but the 311 the new 31 1 notification that just went out doesnt expire until july 6 and it is anticipated that several applications and challenges will be file and it doesnt seem possible to be viewed and responded to within three days. So i would suggest that be continued to sometime later in the summer. And i also wanted to speak on item 19a and b for 526 and 530 lombard street. Thank you for continuing that. The project remains to be reviewed and with the decision rendered and the whole access from fielding is unclear and we appreciate the continuance on that. Thank you very much.

Now we are under your consent calendar, commissioners. All matters under the consent calendar are considered to be routine and there will be no specific discussion unless an and will be at a separate hearing and from 14700 and conditional use and item 7, with discretionary review.

Commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 50 and placing us on item 9, commission comments and questions. A seeing no comments or questions, commissioners, we can move on to department matters. Item 10, directors announcements. Jonas, thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners. I just wanted to bring one item to your attention in case you didnt hear about it, the mayor proposed an Initiative Ordinance that will be on the ballot on november 3 that makes changes to our commercial destruct and zoning controls and procedures. So it does a host of things, but three i wanted to note. One rain showers us to act within actually, it is targeted and approved for act on the items within 30 days when they are submitted to the city. It eliminates neighborhood notification for principally permitted uses in some corridors. And then it converts some uses from conditionally from conditional uses to principally permitted arts activities, social services and general entertainment, movie theater, Community Fall fails, restaurants, and limited restaurants. Because it is a ballot initiative, we can only provide factual information to you and the public and we will work with the City Attorney to the extent we have a summary of the ordinance to submit to you and pass along the full text as well. Thank you. That concludes my report. Jonas, you are on mute. Secretary thank you. Seeing no questions for the director, we can move on to item 11, review of past events of board of supervisors. There is no report from the board of appeals, but the Historic Preservation commission did meet yesterday. Good afternoon, commissioners. Aaron star, this week the Land Use Committee was cancel sod nothing on the agenda for us this week. And at the full board this week, the reauthorization of the extension fee waiver for authorizing from supervisors mar and mandelman passed the second read. And the conditional use appeal for 95 norhat street was continued. And the Mayors Initiative but the director beat me to that report, and did a fairly good job of summarizing the main points. I am available for more questions if you would like. Secretary seeing no questions, commissioners, as stated, there is no report from the board of appeals. But the Historic Preservation commission did resume its hearing schedule yesterday after a slight hiatus where they adopted a motion directing staff to draft the resolution supporting the departments efforts regarding racial and social equity similar to what you have already done, so that will be agendaized on their july 1 hearing. They did adopt a letter supporting the Legacy Business Program that was set to the mayor shue, among other folk, they acted on the 22nd Street Project which you considered and made amendments to which rain showered it to go back to the Historic Preservation commission, and they approved it with conditions, and then they took they review and commented on the 550othello street Draft Environmental Impact report which will be coming before you, i believe, next week. Thats all i have from the Historic Preservation commission, and seeing no questions related to it, we can move on to 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 subject matter jurisdiction of the commission except agenda item. With respect to agenda item, you opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting. Each member of the public may address the commission for up to 3 minutes. When the number of speakers exceed the 15minute limit, general Public Comment may be moved to the end of the agenda. Why dont we go ahead and take Public Comment. Again, members of the public. This is your opportunity to call into the 800 number and press 1 and then 0 to get into the queue. Good afternoon, commissioners. This is kathrin howard. Yt San Francisco chronicle ran an investigative stud bihow San Francisco bypassed states toxic sites law and describes actions that the city took under the California Environmental quality act and ceqa. It states the city considered cat goral exemptions for at least a dozen projects that were located on state identified toxic waste sites and that the city exempted. Nine of the projects were the states public Environmental Review process. I am very concerned about how this misuse of ceqa might be supported by the new local ceqa ordinance and that standard environmental requirements. If the s. E. R. Ordinance is implemented and the result will be that even more projects could be made exempt from public review under ceqa. Ceqa was enacted to require public agencies to document and consider the environmental implications of their actions. The Environmental Review process has involved into a democratic process by which the public can give impact to Government Agencies and policies and by limiting the Environmental Reviews proposed to s. E. R. Ordinance would have a negative impact on transparency and Public Participation in the ceqa process. Of course, we all hope that past abuses of the ceqa process outlined in the chronicle investigative study are not predictive of future problems. But i am concerned that in the wrong hands, the s. E. R. Ordinance could open their way for more abuse of the Publics Trust in the future. And as you commissioners are aware, the ordinance will be reviewed at your commission on july 30. I encourage you and the listening public to read the june 7 San Francisco chronicle article and please reconsider any further weakening of the ceqa process in San Francisco. Thank you very much. Caller good afternoon, commissioners. This is georgia chutish. Good afternoon to you all. I want to talk about the link i see between the demos and speculation. A project that had 311 and no d. I. R. That expired back in april and is now going through the site permit thing with the d. B. I. Anyway, the project exceeded the threshold of the demo calcs in two of the four and the third was one was very close. And certainly if the calcs has been adjusted at least once in the past 11 years as allowed by the code in 317b, 2d and specified by the commission to the staff back in march 26, 2009, this spec project would have been reviewed differently and i guess i want to tell you why this is a spec project and it says because its a spec project because it is entitlement is now for sale. And even though the permit hasnt been issued yet. It sold for 1. 365 back in 2018. And then now asking 1. 895. So to me thats speculation. And the other part that is a little distressing is its supposed to have two units but they are marketing it as could be used as one unit. So i mean you cant control how they market things, but that is what goes on when we have these situations. And the staff really did look at the demo calcs close and checked them and had to change them twice actually. And existing house is actually quite nice and livable. It is a little disturbing to think it will go away. The fourth item i want to mention is that the permit is really undervalued. It is only at 400,000. So those are all the things if you want to exwhich it out. It is 565 29th street and it is illustrative in a micro way of the macro problem that goes on with the demo calcs and not being adjusted for the last 11 years. Thanks very much. Everybody take good care, take safe, stay well. Byebye. Secretary very good, commissioners. Seeing no additional Public Comment, we will move on to the regular calendar for item 12. 2014. 1441gpr, Mission Bay South redevelopment plan amendments. These are general plan conformity findings and adoption and is staff prepared to present . Yes. Good afternoon, president koppel and commissioners. I am ed synder from department sfaf and before you are the findings of the consistency with general plan for proposed amendments to the Mission Bay South redevelopment plan to enable a new Golden State Warriors mixed use Hotel Project. We should note at the very top is that the actual approval of the project is not before you. The only action that you are going to need to take or to make is finding general plan findings and consistency. After todays presentation, i will provide a background of the mission stay both south redevelopment, and briefly describe the Hotel Project and the associated Community Benefits and describe the amendments and we will tell you how staff believes the amendments are consistent with the general plan. Mission bay south is one of two Mission Bay Redevelopment project areas. They are generally located south of soma, north of dog patch and east of showplace petrero. The redevelopment plans were established in 1998 under california redevelopment law. As redevelopment project areas, the guiding land use and zoning is governed by the redevelopment plans and not by the planning code. Similarly as redevelopment project areas, the office of Community Investment and infrastructure or oci, and the commission are largely responsible for land use decisions and individual developments. Together the two plans em compass 303 acres and call for the development of 6500 dwelling units of which 29 would be affordable. Roughly 5 million square feet of commercial. 560,000 square feet of retail and all new streets and blocks. 49 acres of pash parks and open space and the ucsf campus and hospital. The Golden State Warriors applied to construct a new hotel mixed use project at the site of the center on the northeast corner. I believe the warriors will give you an indepth description of this, but i will describe it just very briefly to provide context as proposed the Hotel Project would include 129 hotel rooms, 21 dwelling units and associated retail, Banquet Center and Fitness Center and other amen tis and would be 160 feet tall exclusive to the upper story penthouse and above the space and 240 feet long. The project would feature lobbies along warriors way and Terry Francois along the east and along with enhanced pedestrian steps up to the internal pedestrian deck. Forgs force as proposed, the Hotel Project would include excuse me. It should be noted that the development within Mission Bay South, the project sponsor, the warriors, are required to contribute to the building of infrastructure and open space and Affordable Housing along with a wide variety of Community Benefits. This is through the ownership participation agreement which is similar to a development agreement. They also are responsible for paying into the transit and sustainability fee, the child care fee
