Commissioner Moore:
I read an article which I
would like to share with you in case you did not see it. It is titled San
Francisco's Precarious Spot Among The Best Cities For Transit. As we are
pushing hard every day or every Thursday in supporting transit and public
transportation, among the first top 10 cities, unfortunately, San Francisco only
ranks sixth, one spot before Los Angeles. I found that rather sad, and I hope we
can continue to contribute to making it better. If anybody has not seen the
article, I would be happy to pass it around. It is really worthwhile reading.
The second issue I would like to talk about is, I would like to ask for further
clarification of last week, the Commission's approval for ParkMerced. What I'd
like to ask the Commission for is the following -- is the resolution that the
Planning Commission passed last week already contain language that was the
memorandum passed out by Mayor's Office of Economic Development and Work Force?
That was the memo addressed to Planning Director Rahaim, regarding subsequent
approvals and provisions -- is that -- does that memorandum contained language
to not increase the City's obligation liabilities? Then it is likely out of
Commissions hands for subsequent action. However, should there be an increase or
changes. There will be something that this Commission should be appraised of at
least. I asked that the development agreement are brought back to this
Commission for information purposes and this Commission' s own determination as
to whether any changes increase the City' s obligations, and there is a second
point I would like to make regarding this fast-moving even. The memorandum
states, "-- that there are significant aspects of the projects that fall under
the jurisdiction of the SFPUC and SFMTA , and therefore, subject to review by
the City. The Planning Commission always has been and always is a strong
advocate for comprehensive policy and physical planning. I myself speak to that
frequently in meetings with the PUC and MTA Commissions should be automatic.
They should be initiated by staff and be part of the standard process we go
through for any project that is complicated and as multifaceted as this. I think
it would make the entire City look much better and would create much better
interaction between Commissions and make better use of our time as we as private
citizens spend a great deal to think and judge with that much information, which
can be put together in a timely manner. I asked the commission to follow up and
support me in this request. Commissioner Antonini:
Commissioner Moore raises
an interesting point, but, as we know from having been here for a while, there
are many times when approvals that we have changed significantly at the Board of
Supervisors, certain parts of the legislation do have to go through the
Supervisors, as other agencies, so there is a procedure in place for this, and
certainly, that will take precedent, I think. I would like to dedicate today's
meeting in memory of Gino Camoli, a 1947 graduate of Galileo and one of a long
string of Italian baseball players to come out of San Francisco, and spent 10
years in the Majors, had a couple of World Series rings, but the most
significant thing about his baseball career -- he was the first batter on the
West Coast for Major League Baseball. He was lying to the doctors at the time,
and he stepped into the plate on April 15, 1915 - 1958. I think he struck out,
which is good for us because the Giants were the home team. What is really
significant is he went on for a career with ups after he finished his baseball
career and was very active in the San Francisco Italian Athletic Club and was a
lifetime resident of San Francisco and gave back a lot to the community.
Certainly, a historic figure, particularly, in view of our World Series victory
this year.
Commissioner Sugaya:
Just a follow-up on
Commissioner Moore' s comments. I was also uncomfortable when we received the
materials at the last minute -- actually at the hearing. Because I had just
spent hours and hours going through the development agreement page by page.
Also, had some comments on it during the hearing, and then have subsequently
submitted three or four pages of written comments, mostly on the development
agreement. If there were changes within that document, I do not know what they
are at this point. So I did vote at that time, but it made me extremely
uncomfortable in doing so. At the very least, I would think that we would want
to have a
report back from staff about the status of that particular document, and as it
moves through the City' s process. I know at the end of the day, the Board of
Supervisors will end up voting on it, but perhaps some status reports would be
desirable. Then, one other thing -- as you know, the Tenderloin SRO
Collaborative set up a tour for me a particular blocks in the Tenderloin, and
that took place last Friday. Commissioner Moore attended, as a Supervisor Kim,
whose District is part of Tenderloin. It lasted about an hour, and I think it
was very informative in terms of the kinds of issues that they are facing as
they try to improve conditions in the Tenderloin area. The other thing I think
that' s -- for people who doesn’t know the Tenderloin, I think is not one -- and
I said this to them while I was there -- not one, sort of monolithic uniform --
there are not drug dealers everywhere in the Tenderloin, and there are not
particular -- you know, there are not liquor stores everywhere, like people
might think, at least given the hearing that we had. We went down one block
where there were a lot of grocery stores selling liquor, and when we turned the
corner, there were not any, so I think there is a kind of diversity not only
population-wise, but in terms of land use, and that kind of thing that people --
getting people who are not living there do not understand.
It is a challenge to try to plan the kind of environment, and I think the people
who were there for the tour, not only people from the City, but also, people
from Channel Two and the "SF Weekly." idea it was really good that they had two
residents from the community lead the tour, so I just wanted to report that back
to the Commission and the public.
Commissioner Miguel:
There was an interesting
gathering at the Department last night regarding the Housing Element, which will
be coming to us, and interesting discussion from many points of views, and,
hopefully, that is assisting in the process. I have met with people last week
regarding projects on Presidio, and on Treasure Island.
Commissioner Moore:
I just wanted to add a couple comments regarding the Tenderloin tour. I was
actually amazed about the strong spirit of neighborhood, and people giving each
other support in light of adversity. I was positively surprised about how
uniform the buildings that tended to be maintained, in strong contrast to
similar neighborhoods in Los Angeles -- South Central, for example, and really
happy to see that people are finding an innovative way to deal with adversity. I
felt very safe, well informed by the people and lead us, and for anybody
interested in jazz, we just happened to look into an amazing event, which
happens every second Friday of the month at 12:30 in the lobby of the Cadillac
Hotel, and for anybody likes Jazz, you would be really blown away because it is
quite amazing. So if anybody wants to find a reason to go there, every second
Thursday at 12:30 in the lobby of the Cadillac Hotel.
Commissioner Borden:
I just wanted to add
another name to end the meeting I am honored, and that is Henry Lancelot, who
died on February 14. He was born to Italian immigrants on Telegraph Hill. That
is where he grew up. He ran a market in North Beach for much of his life, and
served on the Commission of the Boys and Girls Club until his death. He has been
a huge supporter of the San Francisco community at large and the
Italian-American community and North Beach, and he will be sorely missed, and
actually, today is his funeral and memorial service.
Commissioner Olague:
I just wanted to mention
that I do support Commissioner Moore' s request for some kind of an update, I
guess, when it does get to he board. Whether, that is in the form of a memo or
what. Just to understand the process, I think it is important to see how we
needed, and how it evolves, especially something with this magnitude. The
development agreement, I think, is something that is the purview of the Board
anyway. We recognize that, but I still think it would be interesting to see how
it will evolves.
John Rahaim, Director of Planning:
I' m happy to ask michael
or staff to give you an update on the final version, how it might differ from
the version that you saw last, so we can get that to you by the time it gets to
the board.
And also in keeping of our policy of talking about any meetings we have had, I
was taken by project sponsored to 1500 henrik grant to view the prospective
installations of cell phone antennas, and it was very interesting. An
interesting eight-floor climb, which was better than the stairmaster, but you
could see exactly where the projected installations would be and how
large and how visually obvious or not they were, so it was a very good trip to
take.
Commissioner Borden:
I just want to say I do
support the hearing about the evolution of the development agreement, and I
would like to hear what happened with the Hunters Point Shipyard. I know there
were changes after that, in general, I think it would be interesting to look at
the large projects and how they end up at the end, compared to what we saw.
I think that is true with other projects as well. I' m equally interested in
that as well.
Commissioner Olague:
Just to let folks know,
there is a list of policies here that some of us will disclose some of the
meetings we have had with different members of the public regarding various
issues that relate to planning, but it is certainly the option of the
Commission. Not all of us disclose that, but it is certainly something we can
discuss during the rules. But we all usually spend hours outside of here with
the public and development community in different meetings.
Commissioner Moore:
In response to
Commissioner Borden' s comment, we need to remember that there is a difference
between the project that is under the jurisdiction or is a redevelopment project
compared to one that is in private hands of developers. There is a slight
difference. I agree with the reading, but it is a little bit like apples and
oranges.
Commissioner Olague:
Commissioners before we go on to call the Director’s support, City Attorney
wants me to ask, for those people who are not here, for item 7, for instance, if
you are here for items 64 for any of the later items, if you would be willing to
give up your seat and allow people in the hall who are here for item 7 to come
in so they can hear the presentation and a speaking before them, so they can be
part of the process of that item, we would very much appreciate that.
D. DIRECTOR’S REPORT
John Rahaim, Director of Planning:
I want to thank
Commissioner Miguel for coming to the latest meeting to discuss the Housing
Element. It was, as you can imagine, a fairly lively discussion, which is often
the case with the Housing Element, very diverse points of view. But we are
bringing -- just as a reminder, we' e bringing it to you next week as an
informational items and asking you to initiate the action on the general plan,
which is now scheduled for March 24. I think in the interest of time, I will
leave my report at that. Unless you have questions, I think Anmarie had a short
report on the Board of Appeals.

Director’s Announcements
5. Review
of Past Week’s Events at the Board of Supervisors, Board of Appeals, and
Historic Preservation Commission.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS:
None
BOARD OF APPEALS:
This week in Upper Market
on final read this week as well as final week – final read on the Rincon Hill’s
ordinance. Board of Appeals heard the variance on Lombard Street, across the
street from an item that is on your calendar later today. But the case that was
before the Board of Appeals was the subject of a subject Discretionary Review
hearing -- of a joint Discretionary Review hearing. The Commission approved the
project and the Zoning Administrator granted the variance. On December 15, last
year, the Board of Appeals upheld the subject variance four-one. It was
initially scheduled for January 12. Opponents initially appealed the CEQA
determination, and that was held through the Board of Spervisors. The Board of
Appeals denied the jurisdiction request three-one.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION:
Two items I bring to your
attention are the division pipeline, three and four, off by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers, and the Commission, after discussion, found that they concur with
the areas that were put before them for review. They also, after refusing two of
their members, and one absence, so we just had corum, but they did pass the SOMA
historic resourced survey. For about the past six months, since they actually
gave the Department authority to approve, minor permits to alter, there have
been no discussions. They have not pulled them out to further review by
themselves, so they actually -- one of the members actually requested that we
stop putting them on their calendar and just let the Department go forward with
their approval process. There was no decision on that, but I just wanted you to
know that they are satisfied with the work staff is doing, and they do not feel
is necessary to add that extra step at a longer period with that, commissioners,
that concludes my report.-- they do not feel it is necessary to add that extra
step any longer. That concludes my report.
Commissioner Antonini:
Are there plans for the
Historic Preservation Commission to be broadcast? I ask the question because it
is a little bit important, I think, for me, still getting up to speed, to find
out what this thing is.
Linda Avery, Commission Secretary:
Commissioners your
concerns are shared by quite a few people, Commissioners included. At the
moment, the Department does not have a budget to allow them to be broadcast.
What we do is we digitally record and up load that recording. Generally the day
after the hearing, you can go online and get the entire hearing. You do not get
the visual, but you get the audio.
Commissioner Antonini:
I think, being the great
historic city that we are, and myself, is wonderful to be interested in hearing
what the Commission is discussing, and to have the ability to see this on TV for
many people I think would be great. We could find it in the budget, and if the
General Manager of
SFGTV would help us out, that would be great.
