Commission Comments/Questions
·
Inquiries/Announcements.
Without discussion, at this time Commissioners may make announcements or
inquiries of staff regarding various matters of interest to the Commissioner(s).
·
Future Meetings/Agendas.
At this time, the Commission may discuss and take action to set the date of a
Special Meeting and/or determine those items that could be placed on the agenda
of the next meeting and other future meetings of the Planning Commission.
Commissioner Antonini:
I wanted to mention that
I was fortunate enough to be at the 49ers game. I think I saw a crowd that was
the most passionate and focused that I have ever seen. Some commentators on
national television commented on the enthusiasm. There were a few fans wearing
New Orleans gear. I think it is important that we are respectful to those from
other cities and those rooting for other teams, because they bring revenue into
our City. There is common kindness, but also we do not want to be bad hosts.
There is another phenomenon that was mentioned, the fact that there is a
collective identification with San Francisco. We noticed this with the Giants.
It will happen again this Sunday. People come into San Francisco, even if they
are not fortunate to have game tickets, because the want to be part of what is
happening here. This is wonderful for business. It is particularly true on
situations where games are played in the heart of cities. It is one of the
reasons we have seen a number of franchises in all major sports moving their
facilities from suburban locations to urban locations, simply because of this
phenomenon, where people identify with the city with which the team represents.
This certainly was the case when I grow up in the Livermore Valley. I was a
49er fan. We all think of ourselves, even when we are not San Franciscans, as
being San Francisco. It is important that we collectively are enthusiastic, but
we [must] also be good hosts and good neighbors and good to anyone who can visit
our City in all instances.
Commissioner Borden:
I support Commissioner
Antonini’s comments. I wanted to ask staff a question. You have seen in the
media about the Gold Dust Lounge. It has been an institution since 1931 in its
location.
The reports have been that the new tenant is proposed to be a retail tenant. The
existing use is a restaurant. The zoning on that spot -- would it be something
we have to deal with?
It might be something that is an over-the-counter permit, but I do not know if
it is something we would have an ability to weigh in on.
Scott Sanchez, Zoning
Administrator:
I will research the
matter. It is likely in a C-3 zoning district and is principally permitted. We
can research it further.
Commissioner Borden:
Thank you.
Commissioner Sugaya:
I do not remember all the
facts, but there was a recent article noting that the office vacancy rate in the
area of South of Market is now 0. I think they are breaking it up-- south of
market appeared to be broken into two parts, one further south toward the
stadium, indicated as zero. Then closer to Market Street, there were more
high-rise developments. It was around 11% or so.
The highest vacancy rates were toward Civic Center. It seemed to indicate from
the article that there is a need for ongoing office space in the City.
President Miguel:
During the past few weeks,
I had a number of conversations regarding redistricting in the City.
I also testified at the Board of Supervisors, Land Use hearing on the Mayor and
David Chiu's Legislation regarding the 1% for art fee expansion. That item is
being worked on and is slowly getting together. I have had conversations with
several neighborhood groups regarding liquor licenses in Lower Polk, and Polk
Street in general, and also with the Port, the Market Street Advisory Group that
I chair. I want to compliment Department staff - David Alumbaugh and Neil
Hrushowy - they have been doing yeoman work on this, a fairly large group of
both consultants and advisers that are not the easiest to deal with, because we
are dealing with some well-earned egos, I think in this case. They have been
involved in City design for many years. They are doing an excellent job on that.
SPUR had an interesting noontime forum yesterday. Steve Wertheim represented the
Department. It was about Regional Growth and Transportation. It was extremely
informative. I was at a meeting on Urban Habitat with the Assistant City Manager
for Oakland as the keynote speaker. The President of the Oakland Planning
Commission and a member of the Richmond Planning Commission both were among the
graduates of this training class for people to be involved in commissions and
boards in the Bay Area, particularly minorities. It was very good.
C. DIRECTOR’S REPORT
6.
Director’s Announcements
Director Rahaim:
I did not expect to be up
so soon. I want to acknowledge that I will be out of the office Monday through
Wednesday of next week. Bill Wycko will be in charge of the Department during
that time. As I understand it, there is no report of a meeting this week for the
Board of Supervisors.
7.
Review of Past Week’s Events at the Board of Supervisors, Board of
Appeals, and Historic Preservation Commission.
BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS:
No Report
BOARD OF APPEALS:
The Board of Appeals did
meet. They had an Election of Officers. Vice President Garcia was elevated to
the position of President. Commissioner Fung was nominated to be Vice President.
There are two vacancies on the Board of Appeals. The mayoral appointee Rich
Hills has been nominated, and there is a vacancy left from Commissioner Goh
which is still vacant. There is no one nominated to fill that position. The next
hearing will be on the February eighth. There was an appeal on a variance
decision letter I had granted at 995 DeHaro. That was upheld by the Board of
Appeals. The interesting note about that is that there was a building at the
rear of the lot that had been relocated from a property on Vermont in 1949, in
order to accommodate the creation of the Bayshore Freeway. I said this was an
extraordinary circumstance to grant the subdivision. There was also a
jurisdiction request, 234 9TH St., and the person who requested it
may be here to speak at public comment. The application was subject to Section
312 about this, but she did not file D.R. during that time period. There was a
question about the requirement to create mailing labels for the abutting
properties. There is a question whether or not that is an appropriate
requirement.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION:
-
The Historic Preservation Commission did meet yesterday. Prior to their
meeting, the ARC Committee of the Commission met. The item of interest there
was the Stow Lake Boathouse. Basically the item had come before the
Commission prior to yesterday. The Commission gave suggestions on how they
could improve their project. They went back and pretty much incorporated all
the suggestions of the Commission. The Committee was pleased with what they
have done so far with the boathouse.
-
The Commission also held its annual election of officers. President Chase
and vice President Damkroger kept their seats for this current year.
Supervisor Chiu's proposed legislation on Uses, Signs, Building Features,
FAR, Parking, etc. was before the Commission for their consideration. They
approved the recommendation by staff.
-
Finally, they considered Supervisor Weiner’s proposed modifications to
Articles 10 and 11. In a two-hour hearing, they were able to get through
Article 10. They continued the matter to the next hearing so they can
consider the proposals for Article 11.
