the infrastructure and jobs act means equity for san franciscans right here in the south of market and means equity because this infrastructure bill is going to bring much-needed investments to streets historically design to be dangerous. just take a look at where we are right here standing. they were never designed with people biking, walking or taking transit and these were defactor highways to ket through one of the densest neighborhoods and the results were deadly. the names of bicyclists hit and killed while biking on these two treat streets won't stop until investments are made and of course, i cannot forget antonio, the 78-year-old senior who was crossing a block away from here this past april. he was hit and killed by a speeding driver just around the corner from the senior affordable housing he lived in. he was a well phone and beloved member in the filipino community. it is people like this whose lives are cut short when we don't have our funds to update our infrastructure to the modern day. this needs to stop and we need to fund shovel ready projects now to bring equitable i

. (♪♪) >> the new public health order that we're announcing will require san franciscans to remain at home with exceptions only for essential outings. >> when the pandemic first hit we kind of saw the writing on the walls that potentially the city is going to shut all businesses down. >> it was scary because it was such an unknown of how things were going to pan out. i honestly thought that this might be the end of our business. we're just a small business and we still need daily customers. >> i think that everybody was on edge. nobody was untouched. it was very silent. >> as a business owner, you know, things don't just stop, right? you've still got your rent, and all of the overhead, it's still there. >> there's this underlying constant sense of dread and anxiety. it doesn't prevent you from going to work and doing your job, it doesn't stop you from doing your normal routine. what it does is just make you feel extra exhausted. >> so we began to reopen one year later, and we will emerge stronger, we will emerge better as a city, because we are still here and we stand in solidarity wi

franciscans in the future. so 100% in agreement and please continue moving forward with the 80,000 units as a baseline that we can only go forward from. thanks. >> caller: hello. i'm a resident of district two and i'm calling in to encourage everyone involved to up zone as radically as possible in san francisco. i'm personally on a quest to get to know every single street having moveded here two and a half years ago. and what i see is that 70% of the city looks like they're the suburbs. and my hope would be that by creating more density, more walkable neighborhoods, not only can we address our climate crisis, and also just make san francisco a much more livable place for everyone, where you can walk one block down to get all the needs in your life and be a true city. thank you. >> secretary: okay, commissioners. that concludes public comment. and it is now open for your deliberation. i take it back. there is another person requesting to speak. >> last person. >> caller: hi. my name is kevin burke. sorry, i coul

. >> i'm a native san franciscan. all families -- usually small families move out of the city. it is a privilege for me to raise my daughter here. it is a family oriented neighborhood where our daughter can ride her bike freely. >> our project represents a small fraction of what code allows us to build. alex, picture 14, please. it allows us to extend our building to cover 70% of the lot and popped out for the required rear yard. picture 15, please. what we are asking here is a small deck like this one. based entirely in the billable area of the lot. if we are allowed to go ahead, it will set a precedent. we ask that the board denied this appeal, affirm our permit and let us go forward with our privacy so we can move into our home. thank you. >> thank you. we will now hear from the planning department. >> thank you. >> good evening, president honda and members of the board. i the deputy zoning administrator. it is in the rh one zoning district. it is approximately 4800 square feet in size. the property is down sloping towards the rear. the project is to extend the ground floor

franciscans requirement this by law throughout the process. an addition, i want to make a point how frustrated i am at one commissioner's attempt to remove large swaths to be rezoned and we cannot throw up barriers. i urge you to reject any advisory motion that asks to you carve out the sunset, richmond and other sides. we need to make the east side build the housing for too long. finally, this draft needs to focus on potential streamlining policies and the likelihood of development. there needs to be an explicit acknowledgement of the nature of getting housing built and cut down on the discretionary opportunities for san francisco elected officials and organizations to interfere and kill housing or shrink project. we need to acknowledge that and recommend ways of ending it and need to fulfill those goals because it's not good enough to just point at a map and say we think we can build housing here. need to make it clear it will or will not happen and reform the process. thank you so much. have you a wonderful evening and thank you for your wo
