SFGTV Planning Commission 92216 September 24, 2016

Are you going with this look into your crystal ball and allows this Historic Resource to continue but really prevent the behavior that occurred here as to how you might have a solution. I mean unfortunately, i think that ultimately thats a bits beyond our reach of the Planning Department to regulate the behavior of every events through there weve heard they have the it is about having the hoa roobl to the residents and to insure they tell implement and exteriors the rules they say theyre going to again, the answer well someone was not doing their job. So more shocking and appalling the violation continue after the variance hearing we had we got a complaint and reverberation were in violation of the noise element and so really the responsibilities of hoa they come up with a variety ever ordinances they need to take responsible this is their responsible to make sure the rules are enforced if we felt by the prohibiting the use of facility not consistent with the historic use as stated by the hoa to us and probably the best tool to remedy but could have said only members and limited to no more than 60 events in the last decades. But still call my friends i live in the marina and call any friends and lopez street he want to have a party or my daughters wedding the rules will be broken. Yeah. But. Certain level you cant control. I think that is fine. So what happens here is that the hoa has to selfgovern the city the city says its okay. You have to go back to the future or go back to the past and this is it is and on behalf of yourself no guarantee theyll on behalf of themselves and to have a member voucher for that them nia they need to impact and have safeguards and have rentals to nonmembers continue well will pursue enforcement the goal here to have something that is going to be better for the neighbors to address their concerns but not do it in a way more than 60 events he feel flexibility to the space but youre right maybe our association didnt go far enough to resolve the problem. How many events mr. Sanchez. 2015 the total number was one and 10 in 2011 up from the previous afternoon of 60 prior to the restoration so after the renovation of 2015. Do you think that 60 is a good number. Sorry to interrupt. Typically in my experience the situations occurred and neighbors lived next door to a hotel a kaefrt facility or do something hefk different their strike regulations on hours and strike regulations how many of them can events can occur on a daily or weekly basis but basically that is something that is an excellent point when i have a hearing we heard there was progress being made there were additional restricts and rules they would implemented and i think that resulted in not going further but the restrictions can be further we could impose be conditions on the hours or the number of events and the past practices if the association cannot do it themselves then maybe yeah. Thank you mr. Sanchez. Actually could have required them to if they wanted this covet kind of operation commissioners, the matter is submitted. Ill start. Go for it. Im pretty appalled what ive heard im trying to say not a whole lot beyond that were somewhat limited in what we can do and so very briefly me dilatation to uphold the vas decision it was appropriate just allow matters to run the course i think that the course for the neighbors is are means outs i outside of your jurisdiction. I concur the reason this is here the hoa or management of that facility didnt respond to its neighbors on a timely basis at this time the fact theyre talking because theyre here so if this if work i have no problem you know limiting the numbers or making recommendations for limiting the numbers of events at all so i will accept if thats your motion any other commissioners. Ill make a motion to deny the appeal and uphold the decision of Zoning Administrator on the basis it was appropriately issued. I suggest we have a error of discretion. No error or use of discretion. On that motion from commissioner lazarus to deny the appeal and hold did notice of violation that the Zoning Administrator doesnt railroad error. Commissioner president honda. Commissioner swig. That item passes with a vet of 4 to zero and commissioner president honda theres no further business before the board this good afternoon and welcome to the id like to remind the members of the audience that the commission does not tolerate disruptions of any kind.

Commissioner johnson. Thank you very much and welcome sxar very exciting to have 7 full gang up here so just real quick because i was party to the last hearing i dont know if anyone talked about the Controllers Office report on the inclusionary housing this month i sit on the board of spur and a couple of working Group Members had a presentation it was fascinating i think this is the report that was required as part of prop c the original deadline in the measure was july but they have now issued september and among other finding first of all, the whole thing is backed up by the housing simulation it is fantastic i dont know if the Planning Department worked with that the Controllers Office had a consultant but they did a really good analysis an residual land values for the closings requirement not was able to draw the bright line in you increase this level of projects will be feasible for areas that are zip code for residential but showing you know showing from a green to red sort of color scheme where you start to have a loss and being able to extract the land value with the inclusionary housing requirement and in addition some i wouldnt say eye opening but impacts were seeing finding on increasing the inclusionary housing requirements give us more but a rapid increase in value the remaining marketrate more bmr units but less expensive that was among a few of the findings and recommendations around the Density Bonus Program to look at the Density Bonus Program and its impacts on housing with increasing inclusionary housing requirement and a recommendation to do step up. 5 percent per year stepping up to the 2025 level i encourage everyone to read the report those are cue of 8 findings the working group had and informative to the board and the Planning Commission. Commissioner moore. Commissioner johnson reminded me last week about the idea of us attending the Market Street festival any progress on doing that . Dont think so at this point well try to get.

Secondly, the 34r579 was very much involved in the controllers study helping to do the modeling and pleased to be part of that piece of work and happy with an informational it effects our work and thirld with the brisbane proposal that i received a lot of emails and questions from both this building outside of this building on that proposal theres a lot of regional concern about the decision it brisbane made to not include housing on that site ill say that is my perspective disappointing given other communities are stepping up and there has been a lot of discussion about both within the city and outside of the city on this issue right now ill keep you informed whether those discussions are further but certainly theres a lot of people that share all the concerns about having the site of that size without housing well keep you informed. Again, thank you. Commissioner moore. Director rahaim can you expand that discussion a few weeks ago you talked about the citys governance do people have to conform to Regional Government im asking a question about you, fully address at some other point but. Again not the planned bay area their Priority Areas part of planned area ass Priority Areas deal with happen an transit corridors it is because regional governance does not have a legal responsibilities per say no requirement for cities to meet those tarts but i think what well do is scheduled and public hearings on the planned bay area and on the kind of legal ramifications, if you will, meeting housing targets.
