That motion passes unanimously 7 to 0. Item seven commission comments and questions. Commissioner diamond. Um over the weekend, there was an article in the kron um about a Property Owner who is went through a lot of process to get his deck approved. Um, and i wondered if director hylis you want to comment on the process he went through and whether thats typical and, you know, the role the Planning Department tries to play and expediting. Yeah, i mean, so it was a variance, right . He needed a variance because the existing building is built into the into the required rear yard. So to expand that with a deck, um, he needed a variance for that project, i think where things got kind of off on the wrong track is he also needed three three over 11. He had to notify neighbors with his Building Permit. Those werent combined. So he did the variance first and then did the 311 notice. Normally we suggest that those things happen at the same time, so there arent kind of two areas where you need to notify my neighbors. In this case, i dont know the details on why that didnt happen, but that didnt happen in this case. Whether it was the project sponsor or there was some miss communication on our part. But normally those travel together, so theres only one. I at one time. Youd have to make that notice. You also do have to have to do a preapplication notice. And thats our commission policy, which i think were looking at to as a result of the constraints ordinance being passed. So well have more details on that in the in the upcoming year too. Okay i would just one other thing ill add on that actually, starting january 1st as were rolling out implementing of complying with ab 1114. Um, those will inherently always be merged together without the applicant having to know or ask to do that. Itll just be an automatic matter, of course, that will conduct those notifications concurrently. Im delighted to hear that. I dont feel like we should be in a position where anybody, especially individual Property Owners, should feel like they need to hire permit expediters to understand the rules that it should. We as a department and staff should be giving guidance and assistance to people who are trying to navigate our processes and delighted to hear that starting in january, its going to be a little simpler anyway, thank you. My only comment would just be to note, obviously its our last hearing of 2023. Um, its been quite a year for the city for the department, for the commission. I just want to thank staff, thank our secretary. Thank all of you folks who have brought projects or called in or come in person to testify and to give feedback on our project. So looking forward to another good year next year. But thank you all for your service. Um, and thank you again for just making it a really, i think a pleasant way for my experience to give back to the city to serve on this, this commission with all of you. So thank you again. Nothing further. Commissioners we can move on to Department Matters item eight directors announcements. Just just one item for me. I would ask if we can adjourn todays meeting in honor of gigi platt, who passed away. She was a she passed away yesterday. I heard from mark reiser. Um, she served on the Landmark Preservation advisory board, i think in the 70s or maybe the 80s. Um, but she was a fierce advocate for, for preservation. She also sat on the Historic Preservation fund committee, which was that 200, 2. 5 million settlement from westfield and kind of advising on how we spent that money. She was on the board of heritage when she was legend in the, in the, in the preservation community. So i just ask that we adjourn the meeting in her honor. Were doing the citywide survey, which i think is something she pushed for years to do. So certainly. Very good. If theres nothing further on from directors announcements, um, item nine, review of past events at the board of supervisors, um, board of appeals and the Historic Preservation commission. Uh good afternoon, Planning Commissioners. Aaron starr, manager of legislative affairs. First on the land use agenda was supervisor chans ordinance that would prohibit Parcel Delivery services from being an accessory use to fleet charging commissioners. You heard this item on november 16th and recommended approval with modifications. Uh that modification was to amend the language to make clear that Parcel DeliveryService Activity would still be allowed with a separate entitlement during the hearing, supervisor chan requested that the commissions proposed amendments be added to the ordinance. That motion was made and passed. Uh there were only a couple of Public Commenters representing various unions and they all were in support of the ordinance. The item was then forwarded to the full board with a positive recommendation. Next, the committee considered two landmark designations sponsored by supervisor ronen. The first was the landmark designation for the Chata Gutierrez mural at 3175 24th street, uh. This designation was initiated by the board in march of this year, and the hbcu recommended approval on september 18th of this year. The gutierrez mural, painted in 2015, is a tribute to a cultural icon of the latinx community. She is a cultural asset that has a Significant Association with the Mission Districts, pan Latino Community and celebrates the latin music movement, a significant and vibrant part of San Franciscos cultural heritage. Uh, the second landmark designation was also for a mural, the carnival mural, located at 1311 south venice avenue. The designation was initiated by the board in march of this year, and unanimously approved by the hpc on september 18th of this year. The carnival mural, painted in 1983, is a cultural asset with significant and long standing association with the missions. Uh Mission Districts, pan Latino Community celebrating latin music and culture, and the Mission District. In addition, the carnival mural has high artistic value and is a representative of Community Art movement or the mission mural. Simo. A distinctive mode of expression within the Mission District, which is internationally known for its rich collection of murals. There was one Public Comment period for both items. Many members of the Mission Community came out to voice their support for the two designations, and the artists for the carnival mural was also present to provide public testimony. After Public Comment, the committee then forwarded the two items to the full board as a Committee Report with the positive recommendation. Next, the Committee Heard one of the duplicated versions of the constraints reduction ordinance. The intention with this ordinance is to add some of the amendments that supervisor peskins Office Brought for discussion before the Planning Commission a couple of weeks ago , mainly the changes that mainly the changes are would add the 311 notification to chinatown peskins amendments were not ready yet, but staff did seek the 311 changes that the Commission Recommended be added to the ordinance. These amendments would change Building Permit to planning entitlement. Um. In section 311, the committee did accept those amendments and then continued the item to the first land use hearing in january. Next, the committee considered the proposed changes that would bring the planning code into alignment with the state. Adu program. Commissioners. You heard this item on september 28th and recommended approval with modification. That modification was to amend the code to exclude adus from the dwelling unit mix requirement. Planning staff also read into the record several other changes that hcd said we needed to include in the ordinance to be compliant with state law. These amendments had not been considered by the Planning Commission, so the idea was to have the amendments made in committee and then referred back to the Planning Commission for your review supervisor peskin did take exception to the amendments, claiming them to be a last, claiming them to be last minute and that he would be shirking his response as a legislator if he accepted them without fully understanding them. This was a surprise to us as mayor. Staff did send the amendments to all Land Use Committee members via email on december 6th, with an offer for briefing making our planning code consistent with state adu rules is essential in the San Franciscos receiving its pro housing designation from the state. The amendments were not taken and the item was continued to january uh. Next, the committee considered supervisor dorseys ordinance that would amend the planning code to eliminate the public art requirement for 100 Affordable Housing project in the c three district, and provide for the relocation or removal of existing artwork at such projects. Subject to certain conditions. The Planning Commission heard this item on november 16th of this year and voted to approve the ordinance with several modifications. Those modifications included to one. Create new and clarifying existing criteria for the xas consideration and clarifying language to the removal of relocation and alteration provisions so that 100 Affordable Housing project proposing a minor relocation or alteration of the work offered the same, less onerous process. Currently available to market rate projects. Amend the administrative code section 3. 19 to exempt 100 Affordable Housing project, including 100 affordable residential buildings built to satisfy Affordable Housing requirements of market rate projects from the 2 for art enrichment requirement and then some other technical amendments prior to the Land Use Committee hearing, supervisor dorsey had multiple conversations with stakeholders who were concerned about removing the public art requirement for f
