Commissioner Antonini:
I went to Denver last
week. We often hear about learning from European cities about things to do in
San Francisco. We can also learn from American cities. For one thing, this is a
City and County. This is a little bit less dense. The population is about
600,000. 60 square miles of this is the airport and the law means that they have
to include their airport in this City and the County.
The other interesting
thing is that they have district supervisors and the column city council
members. They have 11 districts, with a total of 13 and two at large. They have
had it this way for 30 years. It is interesting that the number came out to be
11 or the district. The parking controls are minimal compared to the ones that
we have, and we are obliged to put in residential parking. They want to minimize
the surface parking lots, to put this underground or in a less visible location,
but there is little traffic relative to San Francisco. There are many factors
but one of them is that you can drive very easily without going through Denver,
which is a little more difficult in San Francisco. It is noticeably clean as far
as the streets. You do not see any graffiti and they are doing things right in
that regard. I did spend a couple of days .I wanted to thank the Director that I
spoke to at length, and I have a conversation with Steven Gordon, the
Comprehensive Planning Manager for the City and County of Denver, the equivalent
of the Planning Commission. We did see some homes that were for sale. There was
this huge house that was eight hundred thousand dollars, and I do not know what
the average sale price is. There are many factors you can convert your property
from rental to an ownership at will, and there is no rent control. By will do
more research on what is happening in Denver. We will find out what they' re
doing right and try to learn from this, as a list of things that they are doing
right that they could learn from us.
Commissioner Sugaya:
It has been a long time
since we've heard a status report on Japantown planning. I had a meeting last
week and this is up to the staff. I think that we will calendar something in the
future. I do not know when this will be communicated to staff. They may want to
bring something forward. I would like ask to calendar something in the future.
Commissioner Miguel:
On the 20th, I attended
the Inner Mission North Historic Resources Survey meeting, and this was
interesting for a number of reasons. There were several staff members there,
making presentations, with several tables of various sections within the survey.
So it could explain these explicitly to those in attendance. This was on the
staff of one of the Supervisors. I was there with three members of the public.
They were holding another on Saturday, one member of the public asked three
questions, and then we left. I will compliment the staff on one of the best
presentations on historic survey, and I have been in a number of these public
meetings. This is by far the best that I have seen. It was concise, the power
slides were well done, showing the mapping and the examples it is a shame that
this was wasted on a lack of public participation. In addition to that, I had
discussions with people during the past week, on Hyde St. and Parkmerced and
then an item that had been before us, one year ago or so, the extension of the
Drew School, in California St., there was a dedication of the new extension, and
the green wall is by far the best example he still had to throw in a lot, but
this is the best example I have seen in San Francisco, I seen few elsewhere this
is the best that I have seen, the assembly building works, and it was just nice
to see something that you have reviewed and finding this come to fruition.
Commissioner Miguel:
I did have an appointment
with AT&T last week I found it very informative and I know this Commission is
bee concern about the wireless antennas and the master plan for these companies
with the kind of hardware that is out there, what needs to happen, and let
thought was most interesting, is that the handsets have exceeded the antenna
technology. There is the need to upgrade its equipment throughout the City to
get coverage. I would recommend taking this appointment as well.
Commissioner Fong:
I attended the Monday
evening dedication ______ -- and this was amazing, to really see the theater for
the first time, with students performing and I saw this off-Broadway in New
York. This was so amazing. This is fostering creativity in teaching, and I think
everyone should go to performance. This looks like the most beautiful wildflower
meadow and I am proud we helped to bring this along.
Commissioner Antonini:
I did have a meeting with
the neighbors I think this is 1945 Hyde Street. This was a very interesting
meeting with them last night. This is one of the homes approximating the
property and I also attended the Drew School I was a little bit late. I was
there but I was missing the meeting that was scheduled for the Planning
Commissioners and others involved in the project. They had the prospective
parents night, and this was 30 years too late. I like what they did their and
this is very nice.
Commissioner Olague:
I wanted to ask staff a
status on the eagle. I have an e-mail from members of the public and I think
that this is an issue that the Historic Preservation Commission is looking at,
and I would like some kind of a status, not that this is something that will
come before us. But they were looking at a possible cultural status or
something. Also, somebody asked me about, maybe this is something for another
day. I know that Austin, Texas, there is a street dedicated tonight music and
entertainment, Sixth Street. Years ago, there was a conversation starting with
the 11th Street and establishing something similar there. This is
something I wanted to explore a little bit more. It seems to me that it would be
good to have a street, or something that is safe or nighttime use and
entertainment. Also, I spoke earlier today with Mario Yedidia of the Youth
commission. At some time, there would like to request a joint hearing, the talk
about this issue, the experiences in terms of housing and other issues. This is
something that the commissioners would look at. We have talked about family
before here, and this is an issue that maybe we do not focus enough. This is
something for July or August.
Commissioner Borden:
I wanted to support
Commissioners Olague's request for the late night idea as well as the hearing on
families.
Commissioner Antonini:
The late night idea
whether could be at 11th or other place, like the Gas Lamp in San
Diego, these are almost entirely entertainment, but it would be wonderful to
have something like this.
D. DIRECTOR’S REPORT
5.
Director’s Announcements
Kelley Amdur:
The Director is out of town this week, attending a conference in New York City.
I do not have too many announcements. I will remind everyone that the
Department's staff is preparing the final edits to the presentation that we will
be making before the Land Use Committee on Monday starting at 1:00 pm.
Supervisor Weiner had an issue for this meeting to discuss historic preservation
issues and we have worked with their office throughout the week to prepare a
presentation for that. In regard to Eagle – the Historic Preservation
Commission calendared an item for the project the first hearing in June. Maybe
Linda Avery, Commission Secretary you could help me with the exact date.
Specifically to clarify for the public, the aspects of the project related to
preservation.

Review of Past Week’s Events at the Board of Supervisors, Board of
Appeals, and Historic Preservation Commission.

Board of Supervisors:
LAND USE COMMITTEE:
The Land Use Committee’s informational hearings on Treasure Island and Yerba
Buena Island and Parmerced continued this week.
·
BF 110298 Parkmerced. Last week the hearing at
the Land Use Committee focused on transporationa, urban design, open space, and
sustainability. Staff led the Board Members and the public through an ambitious
100 slide presentation. A good deal of the discussion centered on whether
rent-control would remain in effect for future residents. Staff from the Office
of Workforce and Economic Development stated that they believe the City has a
strong contractual development agreement to ensure there are enforceable
provisions for rent-control that could be upheld in a court of law, emphasizing
that no one from the office or the City Attorney’s office can guarantee the
future. The hearing was continued without action. The Commission will
consider action on the Parkmerced ordinances on or after May 16th.
·
BF 110314 Street Vacation Associated with North Beach Library.
This week the Committee
heard an hour of public comment and continued the item without recommendation to
June 7th.
·
Informational Hearing on Executive Park.
Staff provided a
slide show generally encompassing the same material presented to Commissioners
at their last two info hearing. Staff discussed the history of the area, the
proposed amendments to the Executive Park Subarea Plan, new zoning and the
establishment of design guidelines. Public comment to the Committee members was
generally favorable. The Committee continued the item as the call of the
chair.
FULL BOARD OF SUPERVISORS:
·
110147 Mission Streetscape Plan.
This item is a General Plan Amendment of the Mission Area Plan to reflect the
Commission’s adoption of the Mission Streetscape Plan. On January 20, 2011 the
Commission adopted the Plan and adopted a resolution to amend the General Plan
with this Ordinance. While no Board action was required for the adoption of the
Streetscape Plan itself, the Board does need to adopt the Ordinance to amend the
General Plan. Last week the Board passed the Plan on Final Reading.
·
CEQA Cat Ex Appeal of AT&T’s Lightspeed Project –
This case involved appeal
of the Department’s Cat Ex for 726 utility cabinets to be located in the public
right-of-way for improved internet and new television services. SF Beautiful
and the Planning Assn. of the Richmond were the appellants. They claimed the
project did not fit within the definition of a Class 3 exemption and that it
requires an EIR. The appellants claimed the project would trigger exceptions
because it there are “unusual circumstances” that would result in significant
aesthetic, pedestrian, and cumulative impacts.
The Department responded
that these claims were not valid because the Class 3 allows the installation of
small new equipment and facilities in small structures – which is not limited in
number. Also, the cabinets would be installed in the public ROW, which already
supports similar utility structures throughout the City. Therefore, the utility
boxes could not be considered an “unusual circumstance.” The Department
acknowledged that the project could have a negative aesthetic effect, but that
it wouldn’t be so substantial to be considered “significant” under CEQA.
The Department maintained the cabinets are relatively small in size and would be
widely dispersed throughout the City. They would be viewed in the context of
the existing urban background. The Department contended that cumulative impacts
would not occur in part because no other carrier is considering the installation
of boxes in the ROW.
This project is subject to DPW’s Surface-Mounted Facilities Order, which
is a site-specific review process intended to minimize the impact of the utility
facilities on areas such as aesthetics and pedestrian circulation. The process
allows for community review and comment on each cabinet location. During the
hearing, some Board members requested enforceable protocols to ensure that
future siting of the cabinets would be responsive to community concerns. Mainly
on these grounds, the Board continued the vote on the matter to May 24.
·
There was a new ordinance introduced BF 110506 Limited Live Performance
Permits. Introduced by Supervisor Mirkarimi. Ordinance, that would amend
the SF Police code, SF Planning Code, and the SF Business and Tax Regulation
Code to create a Limited Permit for indoor locations, whose primary function is
not presentation of live performances, said permit to include noise, and hours
restrictions but not necessarily security plan requirements; specifying
application and license fees and hearing requirements for said permit.
BOARD OF APPEALS:
Last week, the
Board of Appeals heard three items that may be of interest to the Planning
Commission:
3175 24th
Street
– An appeal of a building permit application to remove a general advertising
sign. The Appeallant (property owner) argued that they did not give
authorization for the permit holder (sign company – CBS) to remove the subject
general advertising sign and have no intent of abandoning the sign. The
Department argued that the sign was lawfully (including receipt of final
inspection) and cannot be replaced. The Board voted 3-2 to uphold the
Department.
281 Turk Street
– An appeal of a building permit application to establish a pharmacy at the
subject property. The Appellants raised concerns that the pharmacy would
contribute to the proliferation of prescription drugs on the streets, in an area
that has been called “pill hill.” While three of the five members of the Board
were opposed to the project, they did not have the required four votes to
overturn the permit. The two members of the Board who supported the project
requested adoption of conditions of approval proposed by the Police Department
to address security concerns; however, they did not have the four votes required
to modify the permit. Ultimately, the Board voted unanimously to approve the
permit with conditions.
350 Mission
Street
– An appeal made
by the adjacent property at 50 Beale Street of the Commission’s (unanimous)
approval of Section 309 exemptions (specifically exemptions for bulk and tower
separation). The Board voted 4-1 to uphold the Commission’s decision.
Historic Preservation Commission:
No
report – It did not meet this week.

800 PRESIDIO
AVENUE
- southeast corner of Presidio Avenue and
Sutter Streets (Assessor's Block 1073, Lot 13) - Certification of Final
Environmental Impact Report - The project sponsors, Booker T. Washington
Community Services Center and Equity Community Builders, LLC, propose to
demolish the existing 12,600-square-foot Booker T. Washington Community Services
Center building, presumed an historic resource for purposes of environmental
review, and to construct a mixed-use structure, which would replace and enlarge
the community/recreation center and include new residential uses. The project
would encompass about 68,206 square feet of space on six levels, five above
grade and one below at a height of 55 feet along Presidio Avenue. The roughly
20,726 square-foot community center space would accommodate the center’s current
and future programs and would include a gymnasium, meeting space, and several
classrooms. The project also comprises a total of 50 affordable residential
units, including 24 units for emancipated foster youth, 24 affordable units for
persons earning up to 60 percent of area median income, and two units for onsite
building managers. The project proposes 21 parking spaces in a basement garage
accessible from Sutter Street. The project requires amendments to the Planning
Code to establish a “Presidio-Sutter Affordable Housing Special Use District,”
subject to approval by the Board of Supervisors to reclassify the site’s height
limit from a 40-X height and bulk district to up to a 55-X height and bulk
district, and to increase the residential density beyond permitted limits
established by the Planning Code. The project would also request exceptions to
Planning Code provisions related to street trees, rear yard, usable open space
and dwelling unit exposure through a Planned Unit Development subject to
Conditional Use authorization by the Planning Commission.
Preliminary
Recommendation: certify the Environmental Impact Report
NOTE: The
public review period for the Draft Environmental Impact Report is closed. The
Planning Commission does not conduct public review of Final EIRs. Public
comments on the certification may be presented to the Planning Commission during

public hearing, your opportunity to address the Commission must be exercised
during the Public Comment portion of the Calendar. Each member of the public
may address the Commission for up to three minutes.
The Brown Act forbids a
commission from taking action or discussing any item not appearing on the posted
agenda, including those items raised at public comment. In response to public
comment, the commission is limited to:
(1) responding
to statements made or questions posed by members of the public; or
(2) requesting
staff to report back on a matter at a subsequent meeting; or
(3)
directing staff to place the item on a future agenda. (Government Code
