Commissioner Vice President richards in this morngsz paper the carpenter this urges speed on sf licenses pursue looks like the task force of 22 members came up with several items many of them touch land use that appears it proposing 64 passed its with a majority i think we as a department and Commission Look at this and figure this out and said what the impact is especially given the current regulations im looking for some type of a presentation by the task force or some type of an informational in the near future i dont know what the date is proeblt january so anyways thats in todays paper some items were eye opening and proposing x padded with a majority of soma and Mission Replacement of pdr id like to have an informational on the impact of that what it does to the pipeline of future and on the central soma but touches the mission maybe schedule that two. Commissioner moore. Id like to ask director rahaim perhaps ask mr. Albert if transportation to us about 45 thousand uber lyft licenses for the transit policies into nondesignated Parking Zones and a pattern that is more disruptive at the moment than what is definitely possible under the current unregulated how it causes more hardship than Solutions Like to see mr. Albert in the way he looks at problem solving id like the department to answer some of the questions. Ya just a couple of items support sxhifksz i didnt want on the Cannabis Task force as you recall we asked from this share that task force be formed i think that in hopes some of the results and finding would be deliverable to us before november 8th so i support that if we can get that on the agenda as soon as possible that would be great to for the commissioners, i was a panel lift a local architect former arithmetic held to salon about all the things we suspect transit and housing, etc. One thing that was different and maybe not but to consider the question that new york went through Square Footage versus the number of density for people the large unit for sale condo units are are secondary global homes when you dont have occupancy at night in a few areas of attain when that is happening i encourage this group to look at the towers and see how many lights are on 8 oclock at night and does necessarily want to start a dialogue it is interesting someone mentioned vancouver passed its a vacancy task if youre not a fulltime resident want to bring that up for further thought. Commissioner moore. Im supportive of those and the ones im asking for the work calendar action item and act on in kind of more extinguisher how we move forward and be corruptive having answers to the question that would be great. Commissioner Vice President richards. A followup on your comments commissioner president fong the density issue is a problem weve been talking about coupled with the projects were approving the pdrs as well as the 317 coupled with the average square feet house if in San Francisco that was published a couple of weeks ago and the massive houses in the study or the informational maybe part of 317 or separate well get an understanding my head spins when every single dwelling unit is a singlefamily home. Commissioner johnson. Thank you very much i echo the comments we touched on that briefly we talked about how rentcontrolled is used and other tools vancouver is one example and maybe we need to enclosure those adding into that were at lunch and talking about the same thing in regards to parking we talked about it occasionally in conversation but i think we need to make that more a continuance issue for the exact uses of ground parking structure we share the Ride Services and a decrease in car ownership but yet we continue to approve projects that have one or two floors of ground parking thats fine youre developing that space; right . So a space rather than nothing but we need to now be very active in thinking about what will those spaces be when fewer are utilized by actual cars that we need to turn them into entryways for the services and Delivery Services rather than deliver services on the spaces and other spaces suitable for underground spaces that those things can be used as i think we need to be more active that appears were not about to move in the direction of not approving parking we need to see how well use the spaced in the future. Commissioner Vice President richards. Thats on our action calendar and this is a thread we add to the presentation wherever that is going. Commissioners, if theres nothing further, well move on to Department Matters items 6 directors announcements. Jonas i was going to mention the followup work particularly the two ballot measures 64 which legalized cannabis you have a memo in your packet describing the specification ill get today in your packet for next week just one important point the mayor yesterday issued an chef directive to develop regulations around this and to remind you the proposition was worded the sale of cannabis will not be legal until january of 2018 the state has to develop lance regulations and all sorts of things we have a year before we will be working with you over the next month to develop the land use controls with the jurisdiction that can sell and our understanding the relationship continue what passed its and mcds i know is going to be of interest the second proposing x the pdr replacement well be happy to have a discussion about 3 a were going to quickly look at the impacts of that and which projects will be effected how theyll be affected that will it takes time but probably in the early new year well come back with specific analysis as well ill be happy to do and the regulations go into effect on the pdr replacement wale deal with that respect to existing projects that have pdr space. Thank you. That concludes my presentation. For today. Commissioner moore. Director rahaim as our wearing the regional hat particularly on the proposing 64 and we asked you to also bring to the table what other communities have decided because were always been a liberal community with a wider open door but not take the brunt of the region about what theyre thinking of doing but you from the region perspective to help us create the next set of questions that come into the large discussion thank you. Commissioner Vice President richards. One other point a followup to the prop 64 there are properties unaware of in my neighborhood that are waiting for january 2018 and sit there for another year in anticipation these regulations will come out those people that are purporting the property dont understand the rules in terms of vacancy. Commissioners, if theres nothing further, well move on to general Public Comment not to exceed 15 minutes at this time, members of the public may address the commission to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission except agenda items. With respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when reached in the meeting. Each member of the public may address the commission up to three minutes. I have one speaker card. Thank you. Okay tim tom gilberty. Tom gilberty i was hoping that you and the rec and park pr inaudible mostly because anything under 9 stories is really set up for rooftop garden the rooftops are having their inexperienced dont know what growth the trees and the wind is terrible the bombardment of sun is terrible if rec and park are experienced with gardening theyll be helpful to what we need to do especially in the south of market it is a place of garden for neighbors to meet without been a being a consumer that is really good next successful buildings that survive earthquakes although the millennium towers with not to be occupiable after an earthquake theyre successful if at the stand and doesnt fall down that needs to be revised we need to be building buildings that not only will stand but will be hospitable you can live there if thats a limit to what we do with our space that should be a limit next occupying in any buildings occupancy they use lights their dark theyre not lit i live across a new building that was finished last year they leave the lights on twentyfour hour a day empty unowned unit who is moving in what percentage from outside the bay area and residents that are living in San Francisco i think another limit we should be building and planning for houses for people that can have lived in San Francisco and move into those buildings that would get a lot more motion going and i guess thats going to do that i was hoping to get parks. You guys together until another time thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners president of the middle Polk Neighborhood Association wanted to make a couple of comments about Office Development in to today, the Business Times recorded the macys is in contract for 200 and 50 million the Planning Department did an exceptional job throughout the years of maintaining the downtown plan and keeping an eye on on the encroachment you have to look at those issues holistically a week ago an article got a lot of attention johns is now mediating the tenderloin central soma will add office space and prop o passed yesterday more office space at Hunters Point where unemployment is 4 percent our structures is stretched to the limit and i dont think that is necessary for gone conclude to hand over the keys of the Office Development perhaps Community Discussion involving all the Stakeholder Chamber of commerce and labor and Hotel Industries neighborhood may say you know maybe we need more Hotel Development maybe more Residential Development the discussion it takes time so i urge the commissioners and the department to work with the community to really think about the solutions around this because a lot of energy and activism went zot Historic Downtown plan i was reading that is monumental groups in chinatown and the tenderloin and soma we really have to look at the issues holistically i wanted to mention you know the chevy company cip is gone and the choose is a independent retailer is gone and others those are important issues i urge the commission and department to look at the hard work of upholding the line on office what 23 we hit a recession and a lot of companies and building are vacant and issues to think about ill leave it not an immediate item but on your radar in the next year or so particularly with the economic pressures that Office Development brings thank you. Much turn around i am sue hester im encouraged by the commissioners comments quite frankly because the whole idea of unoccupied Housing Units means large when we have the momentum to approve housing and there are certain people that come here all the time must approve everything before you i have a couple of anyone dan things one is your go or about so have a lot of academy of art housing ill be brief and, of course, youre not going to get it it wasnt in our packets you got the agenda that says its really up next week so ill telling them u telling you ill submit something to whatever email that you have and ill send is to the Planning Commission and the Department Staff will be upset im going to do it look for comments about academy of art housing which is on our calendar next week the other thing i got here late not having access to the door i think you may be have dealt with that but you have on our calendar the address on the issue on the agenda for this morning not advertised at 416 heres the Planning Commission calendar 416 heres the rec and park Commission Calendar room 4 hundred perhaps youve addressed this before i got here and find out when i listen to the city plan but the main thing look for an email on the academy of art thank you.
