Commissioner i am commissioner imperial. Im still thinking in terms to have a joint hear with the Historical Preservation but in what topic, thats something im trying to think about as well in terms, i would like to hear about the discussion and especially since theres an upcoming, a very public demanded castro theater but i hope in the future, we can have a joint hearing with the circle Preservation Commission. A joint hearing on not necessarily on that specific topic but a broader discussion. More broader discussion. Okay, great. That would be exciting, i think. Comments on that in the interest, if the commissioners would like to focus on something. Certainly, youve heard here and theyve been hearing in more detail about the citywide survey so that may be a topic we want to talk to them or have it at a joint hearing, the Housing Element is also, i mean, thats been before the Preservation Commission before so thats another topic we can discuss in a joint hearing. I think the survey is quite robust and if you can get an update. Commissioner moore . I would like to suggest a joint meeting with Public Health commission. I heard last night a laguna honda decision has been extended by one year which is a sigh of relief for everyone but that will give us more room to hear what the Health Commission is thinking and how they are trying to prepare for the upcoming year. Thank you, commissioners. I dont see any other hands raised. Okay. If theres nothing further, commissioners, we can move on to department matters. Directors announcements. Commissioners, i wanted to make you aware and some of you are aware about a potential change to our schedule to adopt the Housing Element and well have this on calendar next week so we can have a back and forth on it because it could be fairly significant, the change we need to make in our schedule. Just a quick summary, we, the Housing Element is due to the state by january 31st but theres a grace period brought into the code of 120 days which weve been working under the assumption that if we have to we have until may 31st to submit our Housing Element, we will not be out of compliance during that grace period. We received, just last week a clarification from hcd who has been very much aware of our schedule throughout this entire process that may not be correct. That we may be out of compliance by january 31st if we dont have a Housing Element. We dont want to be out of compliance because it could jeopardize housing funding around housing and our transportation. It could lead to projects being submitted under whats called the builders remedy where zoning wouldnt necessarily, we wouldnt take into account our current zoning and we can talk more about this next week but i just wanted to give you a heads up. Theres been Media Coverage about it in the examiner and the Business Times so well talk to you next week. If therefore are no questions for the director, we can move on to review of past events at the board of supervisors, theres no report from the board of supervisors and the historic Preservation Commission didnt meet yesterday. I dont know if the Zoning Administrator has a report on the board of appeals. Okay. Seeing none, then 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 items. With respect to agenda items, your 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 three minutes. When the number of speakers exceed the 15minute limit, general Public Comment may be moved to the end of the agenda. Again, if youre in the chambers, please come forward. If youre calling in remotely, you need to press star three. When you hear your line has been unmuted, thats your indication to begin speaking. Good afternoon, its gorgia. Yes, october 12th was the anniversary. Commission approving the residential slap policy and i sent an email about it with comments yesterday. I want to correct the typographical error that i made as the 2017 vote to prove it was five to one, not six to one. Some of the extreme alterations that enjoy indiscernible in the past eight years created monster homes by absorbing the flat, reduced in size and relegate to a location behind the garage and facilitated by a loophole in section 317, even beyond the fact that the demo cap is not stretched enough because the caps had not been adjusted as the commission has legislative authority to do. The only project im aware of that needed mandatory indiscernible was the project indiscernible where the horizontal flat was remodeled into two vertical or town house style units. Both were not reduced in size but the issue for the staff was exposure, not location or relocation. And this was approved on consent. It seems that the intent of the policy is preserve housing from quote disappearing by being absorbed in the larger unit which means the loss of a flat which is likely to occur when a flat is relocated within the structure. Thats why i sent the comments with the examples of those two pairs of flats. It is hard to see the difference in the flats proved in the 2010 years to the flat policy compared with the flats as proposed and approved in 2022 at a public dr hearing. Exposure and location of the flat within the structure are as important as size in preserving this housing and it codifies this policy. Thanks a lot. Take care, bye. indiscernible for San Francisco neighborhoods. Speaking on my own behalf. Following up on my previous comments regarding the safety and resilience element. Although fema is best known for its effort after natural disasters, fema also provides grants to communities to proactively prevent or mitigate damage from potential natural disasters. Keeping in mind that the most of the damage from the 1906 earthquake was not from the earthquake itself but from post earthquake catastrophic fires which were caused by ruptured gas lines and ruptured water mains. Its my understanding that the city is not aggressively pursuing these proactive fema grants which could potentially serve as matching grants for the extension of the citys dedicated firefighter water system. The citys dedicated firefighter water system was constructed in response to the widespread destruction of the 1906 earthquake. It has a piping system thats independent of the citys Drinking Water system. It has the higher pressure and higher volume than the citys Drinking Water system. Most importantly, it uses bay water rather than Drinking Water to fight post earthquake catastrophic fires. This leaves the Drinking Water for its primary purposes. I would urge the commission to request a presentation from the office of Planning Council and plan asking resilience and resilience and the proactive fema grants available, which grants have been applied for and which grants have not been applied for and why. Thank you. Okay. Last call for general public com enter, and again if youre in the chambers, come forward and if youre calling remotely, press star three. No request to speak, general Public Comment is close and we can move on to your regular calendar, commissioners.
