Statement overriding sequa findings and that was not unanimous. The omission of an analysis in sequa is an emission so the measure analysis is legal issue. Its was incorrect any use of the design guidelines. Is that it . Yes. Ok, i want to say these pub pubc hearings for 22, 26 and 30 have been held and closed. We are now reconvened as the board of supervisors. We will take up the items related to the exemption from Environmental Review first and that would be items 23, 24 and 25 and we will be making an analysis of the adequacy, act accuracy and completeness of the environmental report, certified by the Planning Commission for the project at 3333 california street. Again, this requires six votes of the board of supervisors. Do we have a motion on items 23, 24 and 25 . Supervisor stephanie . Thank you, president yi. First of all, i would like to start by thanking everyone who came out today to give Public Comment. I do take these appeals very seriously. Here at the board of supervisors
When weighed against the benefits of this project, namely the creation of muchneeded housing, and a more walkable streetscape, the mitigations were found to be sufficient by the planning commission. Furthermore, the appellant proposed alternatives that were similar to two alternatives studied in the eir. Packages of design changes to mitigate the Historic Resource were included in four preservation alternatives in the eir, which are not considerably different from the alternatives proposed by the amelants. Appel. They argue it should have been included in the chapter but similar alternatives were studied and sequa did not require that an eir consider every alternative or combination of alternatives. Based on evidence presented today, it is my belief the final eir complies with the sanfrancisco admin code, providing an adequate impact of the project and thus, will be making a motion to deny the ail peel and affirm the final eir certification. A motion made and is there a second . Second
City, especially anywhere somewhat close to us and finding housing for my son, he wanted to be a neighbor he grew up with and theres very little housing.

Im i in support of the retail. As it is now, off can do is the bank and market. You have to walk down to philmore enjoy vibrant retail. I urge you to support this development, thank you. Next speaker. Good evening, supervisors, staff and members of the community. Im the director of organizing for the Northern California Carpenters Union and here to talk on two issues. One is housing. California is short 3. 5 Million Units of housing. We build roughly 100,000 units a year. Were falling behind. Yet we put on hold 744 units, of which 187 of the units are affordable to seniors. Half of those units were designed with a fam
We are serving a population where it wasnt 80 80 are either employed or looking for paid jobs. They are parttime students. Really they are just taking a full close look course load and working parttime. We know theres 26 who to work 26 plus hours. That was a survey that was done in 2019. Having disabilities, being of color, being trans, they are probably the ones working these jobs. If you are giving away access, multiple access to education, they would have to transport themselves to the college and we probably will not have any enrolment. Students will not have access to educations. Is that something we are ready to take away from people . From a population that is already marginalized . I am all for Affordable Housing i grew up living there. This is not aggressive enough. Im sorry, it is public land pick 100 of it should go to Affordable Housing.

Committee and on the association and im speaking for the board today. I want to address a particular aspect of the environmental report and that is alternative c. Thats opening to vehicular traffic. You want you to urge the Planning Department to support this alternative. As currently planned, there are two openings for vehicular traffic in and out of the reservoir site and a third access point would be provided. Mitigating some of the lockedin nature of the suit.
