when we were serving in the chinatown and excelsior district, we also gathered that people chose their health care providers because of the language services the health care provider has. they're less likely to go to other places [speaker not understood]. we think health care services providers should have interpretation services and language translation and that should be a critical need in the health care services master plan. thank you. >> thank you. >>> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is emilie lee, i'm with the chinese progressive association. some of you all just heard our youth members speaking today about their own families' needs related to this master plan and i just wanted to, you know, acknowledge that it's been a long process that this master plan has come before you today. back in december -- november, december of 2010, we had also come to the board of supervisors to pass this legislation. so, we have been eagerly awaiting to see what the plan is going to, you know, mean for our city. it could be passed [speaker not understood]. so, to that end, our members have co

i'm the coordinator manager of the excelsior group and work to revitalize mission street and the excelsior neighborhood between silver and geneva avenue and project partner with the community's first parklet and installed in 2012 and the image was on the cool slide of paul's slide show. for those less familiar with the excelsior community it's low and moderate income and diverse and residents forn born and many are first generation imgrintds and we have a large proportion of kids, seniors and youth and our community isn't the type of community that you think of when you think of parklets in san francisco. nonetheless the parklet we have is well received by the community members and they have made it their own. one of the primary uses is a community gathering space. we had pot lots and drum circles and other musical performances and art activities at the space and 1/3 of the parklet is dedicated to a community garden. so i would say that i think parklets are the type of public space intervention that really evolved to suit the community in which they're located and i support the parklets. >

i am the point person for the excelsior and middle polk. jorge, who you just heard from in the last presentation is the point person for west portal and commercial districts in the sunset district. you might know chrissy, who is the point person for bayview and portola and it goes on, so each neighborhood has an advocate in city hall and it's really important, that advocate is staying on top of what is happening in the neighborhood and working with the agencies to get the district the support it needs. the job squad, for the first time, we have -- we have two guys who are pounding the pavement, conducting proactive outreach to small businesses around the city. sometimes we acknowledge that not everybody is going to walk down to city hall and come to the small business assistance center and talk to chris and regina and jane. there are a whole lot of business openers owners who are just going to stay many their business and maybe the only interaction they have with city hall is getting their tax bill and we want to change that so we're sendin

in the past i've been bicycling for about maybe 13 years from the excelsior and i see excelsior resident in the back who actually cycles from excessier every day. we've seen a great increase from the excelsior as well for the great infrastructure we're putting in place. so, we know these efforts work towards increasing rider ship. this new legislation will bring the numbers of required bike parking and new buildings up to a level more consistent with san francisco's growing bike rider ship. the legislation provides more clarity on types of building uses than previous legislation and more guidance on designs and types of bike parking. these changes will help allow developers to more effectively plan for quality of bike parking and provide the necessary facilities for their future tenants. and i believe we have member from the planning department who is here to -- ms. ann marie rogers to give a summary on the changes to both the general plan amendment and the legislation before us today. and i could summarize them or perhaps ms. rogers, you could summarize them yourself or -- >> yes, i cou

to you was that supervisor avalos introduced a resolution regarding historic "street signs" in the excelsior. the resolution would add the original street names as china, japan, and india to the current street signs for excelsior, avenue ~ avalon and peru streets. [speaker not understood]. >> thank you. >> [speaker not understood] the first was an adoption of findings for [speaker not understood] fillmore street. i mentioned this to the commission a few weeks ago, [speaker not understood], they do not have 11 or more stores in the u.s. they do have nine stores and leases for two more stores, one in healdsberg. [speaker not understood]. that is a different process than we had in the past where we had not counted establishments that were proposed, only those that were actually open. the board adopted findings, the findings would be issued in 10 days. there is a 10 day rehearing period. once those findings are issued, we would revise our policies to be in line with the board's decision and interpretation of the planning code and we would amend our formula use affidavit to reflect that. so, peop

i have been in san francisco since 1989, have lived in the excelsior since 1999. the difficulty is, muni often sees it as an industrial area, not a neighborhood. we have to figure out how to make it work as a neighborhood and as a place that can service the light rail vehicles. i have had lots of different jobs. my main job has been doing social work for san francisco state university. i have been a community organizer, a social worker, but i have also been a legislative aide. i worked mostly for community- based organization supporting kids and families, working for labor. i got to see how city hall could be an effective tool to create change. i looked at running in 2007, 2008, and somehow i made it. i have been in politics for so many ways, doing work around central america, supporting people in central america against u.s. imperialism, their right to live, self determination. i did a lot of work on that on campus when i was in college. a bit of work on apartheid when i was in college as well. >> i never got involved in supporting a candidate. i never thought a
