Commissioner Antonini:
My congratulations to Scott Sanchez. On another item today, in today' s
"Chronicle," great area -- great article on the area south of the China Basin.
There were a couple of things I think the public should know about that. The
area is large, and there is talk of an arena that would only take up a portion
of that. My calculations are only maybe 25% of the available area, so there is
room for more development still consistent with the parking needs which the
Giants have which I think would be sufficient for the arena use. The second
thing about the arena is not just focused on the Warriors or an NBA team, which
is very important, but I think that facility would get used as many as 300 days
a year because it is such a good location. I have talked to a number of people
in the entertainment area, and they feel it might be a site for major concerts'
because people want to be in san francisco and its accessibility is terrific. I
think it would be a great
economic boom, not to mention other things we cannot have now because of the
facility not being there.I have mentioned major political conventions and other
events that require that kind of facility. it would be great, but much more can
be done at that site in addition to just that and that would help it make --
help make it more sustainable.
Commissioner Sugaya:
I had an opportunity to attend the scoping commission for the Academy of Art
Tuesday night in downtown at one of their facilities, at Post and Mason Streets.
There are quite a few people there, but it was interesting to the extent that it
kind of reminded me of some of our hearings, where 90% of the people who were
there sung the praises of the Academy of Art University rather than talking
about what should be covered in the environmental report. And I think that we
can expect the same at future hearings, or people from far away -- as Contra
Costa County came to testify. In any case, there were other targeted comments,
and I don' t know if it was that truthful, but I know it is part of the process.
President Miguel:
I also would like to individually compliment Scott Sanchez. I appreciate the
work you have done so far. It has been interesting, from time to time I watch
onTV the Board of Appeals, and I think you represent the Department extremely
well, and that is greatly appreciated. During the week, I have had occasion to
interface with some of the members of the HPC, both sides of the pacific project
that will be before us. I have had the pleasure of being on a panel Monday that
was chaired by John King from "The Chronicle," which was very interesting, as
well as talking to some of the people who are involved with the health services
master plan and with the Booker T. Washington project.

Director’s Announcements
John Rahaim:
My congratulations to Scott and I look forward to working together with him in
the coming years. I went to the neighborhood at work Friday afternoon to discuss
a number of topics with the residence. one of the things I wanted to mention to
you is we will be, towards the end of the year, probably early December, giving
you an update on the overall action plan, wrapping that up, and presenting to
you some of our recommendations for changing
the items under due process for internal procedural changes, primarily, and we
will be
convening with public stakeholders on that process in early December as well.
That group requested that we hold that meeting on Saturday morning rather than a
weekday evening so we could have better attendance. So we will do that. The
other thing I wanted to mention, as you May recall, several months ago, the
Mayor and Supervisor Chu had requested the department convene a park shattered
task force to analyze the effects of development that is under way. Those
meetings are being held on an infrequent basis, so for your sake and the
public's sake, if your interested in attending, these meetings are available to
the public and call the department and we will let you know when the next
meetings are.

Better Streets Plan - Consideration of Adopting a Resolution
to Recommend Approval of the Better Streets Plan as an Official Plan of the City
and County of San Francisco and to Amend the Planning Code and Administrative
Code Related to the Better Streets Plan
-
On September 21, 2010, Mayor Gavin Newsom introduced legislation at the Board of
Supervisors that would adopt the Better Street Plan as an official plan of San
Francisco and amend the Planning Code, Administrative Code, Public Works Code,
and Subdivision Code to incorporate the Better Streets Plan and related
concepts. The Better Streets Plan creates a comprehensive set of guidelines for
the design of the
pedestrian environment
on public right-of-ways. As part of this action, the Commission will consider
recommending to the Board of Supervisors approval of the Better Streets Plan as
an Official Plan of the City. Pursuant to Planning Code Section 302 (b), the
Commission will consider recommending approval of amendments to sections 132,
135, 138.1, 249.1, 428, 825, and 827 of the Planning Code. The amendments would
establish and describe requirements for street improvements for public and
private projects, and consolidate existing requirements for street improvements
into a unified section of the Planning Code. Pursuant to Section 5.41 of the
Board of Supervisors Rules of Order, which directs the Board of Supervisors to
refer any changes to the Administrative Code that involve planning or land use
issues to the Planning Commission, the Commission will consider recommending
approval of amendments to Section 98.1 of the Administrative Code, the Better
Streets Policy.
