Good afternoon Land Use Committee and members from supervisor kims office we have introduced legislation to update our codes to the current environment of 2017 although we will include 2018 there was legislation in pro bono the katdz in the city in the city of San Francisco we have zoning code that prohibit arcades that things have come up in other castro and the haight previously and needed the board of supervisors cleaned up legislation to allow the arcades in the two other districts we are requesting the same for and to allow this in the south of market and the Service Light Industrial Area we had that before the Planning Commission in the fall some neighborhoods stakeholders were concerned about this change and wanted to be looped into businesses that were planning to participate in the south of market and so we had the business operators that were proposing this to reach out to the members of the south of market Business Associations the south beach Merchant Association and they have had the conversations were before you today the Planning Department has requested a broader change to the code for the arcades and after conversation at the Planning Commission we decided to just leave to the south of market and have the processes that relate to eastern neighborhoods and chinatown be encompassed in the further update to the planning code so im going to ask for a continuance because the prepared legislation that speaks just to the south of market but there was we want to make sure that redact all references to the ooerpdz other parts of eastern neighborhoods and a reference to other entertainment uses in the chinatown mixed use district and the eastern neighborhoods mixed use district that still should be part of neighborhoods decisions e discussions is a ask for a intelligence or continuance because the project sponsor is here we want to give you a little bit of background on the legislation to have a cleaned up up versions so for your is consideration. Ill im going to turn it over to supervisor peskin but in terms of the continuance how long through the chair are be specific at this point. One week. Okay already supervisor peskin. Thank you chair farrell im subject to Public Comment will make the motion to continue the item for one week i want to say relevant to this issue on broadway these arcades were you the place where we had the most homicides and actually a reason in certain district there you are controls on them the 4 hundred block of broadway was the source of a number of homicides in the early 2000s not a onesizefitsall solution im concerned that planning once again is coming up with a we want to do the same thing everybody respect to mr. Starr didnt make sense. Okay. Any further questions open up for Public Comment is there any Public Comment on item 3 . Nope you dont have to do Public Comment. A housekeeping thing the Planning Commission heard this on september last year and recommended to approve with a modification the modification was based on supervisor kims letter she gave to the commission that can or day which asked to limit to the s l i Industrial District thats what the Planning Commission agreed to and should be before you today. Okay just to be clear are you suggesting an agreement today or handle this technique. I cant suggest an amendment but the intention of the amendment to narrow it to that. Okay supervisor peskin. So in the staff recommendation on page 5 where the recommendation is the department recommended approval with modifications and insert in the chinatown mixed use district in the south of market and eastern neighborhood although you say easter im sure eastern neighborhoods mixed use district are you saying that you want to have this definition apply to chinatown and it definition applies to chinatown at the beginning in the etc. That was to political other entertainment to the eastern neighborhoods district because shes not doing a much further extension of the amazement game market shes narrowed it quite a bit to just to that district. So you withdraw that recommendations. The commission didnt make that recommendation. Thank you. Okay. Colleagues weve had Public Comment. We have a potential for some discussion around that sli or one week to the meeting for february 13th. Motions . Oh, im sorry, i didnt close Public Comment is there any Public Comment on item 3 . Hi supervisors im an actual one of the folks that the Commission Office allowed us to put this together im on fourth and bryant in the sli district i understand the concerns about gambling and crime recommended to this although that was 35 years ago and what were putting forth is not an amazement arcade but a bar and restaurant of course, it is kind going down to the net when it comes to land use i understand the Planning Commission is to allow for us to remain the same to be open to mixed use i understand a gentleman came in and halt this but look at the sub on the corridor and it kind of opens up to more mixed use and for use as part sorry im nervous standing in front of you at this time soma the necessary i did is home to millennials and crime is not subject to this selma is home to the arts and youll find all within a 3 block radius of us and i think that is worth take a look at the amendment in the sli district on 3 and fourth from harrison to townsend it is mixed use and it is dlooifl and i think that puts a stop on the growth of the area. Is there any Public Comment on item 3. Please if there are more members please come on up you have 2 mingle. Good afternoon.
