in terms of who endorses sequa the court deal with it. the preservation issues came forward in the 1970s. that's why we're here to talk about the historic issues related to sequa. i don't want to turn this into a technical conversation but it's important to talk about the things in san francisco that doesn't apply anywhere else in california. it applies to discretion projects only. this is one thing in most jurisdictions in california building permits are not discretionary. if you're project complies with the building code you get our permit. that's not the way it works in san francisco. in san francisco every building permit is technically discretionary which means every building permit has a sequa component. it's interesting the planning department hearsay a deal with an enormous amount of sequa issues. preservation issues and non-presentation issues it's a an enormous task and even during our deliberations mike actually brought someone up from la and they were a bit stunned to find out the magnitude of the sequa rules. so we're going t

for the sequa ones to jog your america in report you have the executive summary an page 5 and oats sequa recommendations we highlighted were number 13 that's the encouraged calculation between the property staff and owners to achieve the standards. the mechanism for project applicants to get an opinion from the ar c. developing the new administrative bull ton for conducting the roars. we've had people practicing for 20 or thirty years and small business has to draw me a picture and one person draw one and that drawing x x x and circle and circles and circles and people come up and say that's not quite right. somebody needs to make the process clear and transparent to the public. that's one thing the commission could do. and lastly, the other thing we identified is this issue of number 18 for projects that are not within the districts what is the level of sequa review. and it isn't orange but the one above it the potential districts what's itself survey and boundary of those surveys and the level of details. we heard from some people some people did a survey x y and what are the level of

those issues become important in a sequa matter because land use impacts our sequa issues. in fact, that's why 2010 deck was thrown anti they forgot to consider the land use impacts so we know we need land impact uses because the judge said it once. if the special use district means anything 235 it means those are special district. they're trying to take the number one conforming conditional use and borrow from a neighborhood conditional use and make it a special use when it's not permitted on page 38 of the knob hill district. we bring it to your attention because we think the land use it is not uses go properly >> any additional public comment okay public comment is closed. commissioner that will and places you under your regular calendar >> yeah, i'll have to recuse myself because the proper place ♪ my distance >> do i hear a motion. >> on the motion to rescuing commissioner (calling names) so moved, commissioners, unanimously 6 to zero. had commissioner item 9 for 1111 california ma sonic center please note that the public hearing on the draft is closed the draft dir

this commission heard the appeal of the sequa document in july of 2010. at that time the department added the historic district and the commission affirmed the document in september of 2010. at the board hearing this week the appellants raised concerns about the neighborhood changes and noise impacts especially, as related to the mash threat. the department said none of the changes required circulation and supervisor avalos asked about the threat noise and the changes. supervisor cowen stated that the last parking at the project would make it inventory for families. and supervisor wiener recognized the importance the threat but ask do the sequa process be upheld and the sponsor should work with the theatre to further modify their plan at the it was upheld. later in the evening the board heard the appeal for wireless antenna. this planning commission approved the cu unanimously it was for a wireless telecommunication antenna that would be screened. the appellants submitted american people appeal without any justification other than their concerned about pl

we use article 10 for demolition in our sequa analysis just for some parallel review between our sequa review and other reviews in our department. essentially, we neat to do preserve about 50 percent of the building materials in order to stable the threshold. in order to create a feasible alternative as required under sequa the project sponsor was marked out while staying within the rehabilitation standards. so that's how we arrived at the amount of material that should be retained on the site. we looked at the height and massing there were proposed and tried to imagine some setbacks which would respect the character of the district which would allow the historic sites to read individual of the sites i behind them not necessarily connected to the historic buildings. we used the visual models to kind of play around with the different massing studies which might achieve that. meanwhile the project sponsor is trying to resolve the - they used the information as well, to create perimeters for the alternatives. so it's a partial trend of more demolition was allotted a large navy envelope wa

i realized that jefferson speaking parking in and of itself is not to be a part of sequa. but traffic is. and i'm reading the part of the report that talked about traffic - talked about parking but it sort of supposed because i believe this project has no parking people will use ultimate means and that's somewhat fictitious. i'm not sure if there's a traffic analysis in here take a look at the additional traffic that will be generated by people looking around to try to park their cars that retainside in t condos that should there the traffic. - increase the traffic >> i'm with the planning department. getting back to our questions. i believe your referring to page 47 of the amended public works n d and a yes. yes. >> my understanding that the traffic study that was especially prepared was not faith the demand for transit services, however, what we say as you said we don't consider parking impacts sequa impacts so this is a typical analysis we do for this too high projects if that answers your question. >> it actually don't talk about the 24 spaces because the short-term de

i think we all know the sequa process in the city is a lengthy. and the fact that this building as vacant it will take a few years to get this on line. i think you're looking at the approvals where the work has been done with entitlements and our client has to submit things. we have a great conversation and want to work with the supervisor over the next few years. i suggest we file the site permit in the next 12 months and if that doesn't happen the entitlements will lapse. the entitlement be approved in the next year and given the backlog with the city is unrealistic. the city is, you know, justifiab justifiablely overwhelmed. and i hope that satisfies the concerns >> commissioner hillis. >> so while you're still up there. i think the use of a hotel is a great building we want to see it done. i had a chance to meet with the project sponsor years ago. and you were there before twitter and the use of the hotel. the staff report was written during the recession when others were trying to speed things up it's a key block. so i think we can condition

now what are overriding considerations it's in sequa. you consulted the attorney overriding considerations do you need to put the university or the general hospital or maybe other things like it couldn't be repaired but you were putting the senior housing on the half and opening up the public room for us and a opening up public space. overriding considerations are not money to be put everywhere else >> my name is david. i'm a resident in embarcadero. i want to express serious concerns about the development. i'm not a developer but i've taken time to attend several meetings and the presentations on this project i have serious concerns with the local concerns that the resident concerns are not being dealt with. there's some planning going on to the planning, zoning code to follow and everything in this plan throws it out the window. we're - i want to encourage the planning commission to get involved or send some recommendation or someone with intelligence. we have the mta coming down and telling us they want to open that bryant street excu

she felt the concerns were also about sequa and with that the commissioner asked that the sequa be upheld. and then i wanted to share with you an introduction that was made by supervisor mar that pertains to his ordinance that would regulate formula retail. he introduced a extension that gives us 60 days. await that extension you would need to consider his ordnance by early november now you will have until january. so it won't come before you. and there were no other pieces of legislation that really pertained to land use. that concludes my report >> thank you. >> commissioner moore. >> if i may when we had supervisor mars legislation in front of us we asked whether or not there couldn't be a attempt for all supervisors to join forces together to have a comprehensive reflection on the opinion. i want to pass that on. i think we would be better off having combines from whoever t is interested in the board together >> absolutely i would be interested to know that the supervisor met and having a little bit more time to do the formula work and have that discussion with the public and commissi

instead of macro decisions on sequa it's based on who put out their hand and accepted money and said it's for community benefit, you know. actually a representative from the mta very eloquently said after that, the unanimous vote was taken to oppose the vote. now i want to say that is rather disappointing and there's a reason for that. when you decide that you're going to pay attention to some little group rather than the community at large you crush the public process. in that district of chinese project owners the wonsz ones who are reached are reached by the 3 china's properties that are involved in that. and after the decision, you know, one can't even be contacted who was the one who was talking to her neighborhood. in the case of 11 latino heritage there were 9 members of the knob hill association that knew nothing never heard about it and weren't consulted to accept 2 and a half million dollars to settle a lawsuit. ; right? those people had i'm told the largest number of conditional use signatures that have ever been mount and completely wiped out by the kind of dealing. you'r

a process of sort of reevaluating the phases, and the use, program, and that will be analyzed under sequa and so the phasing could change and it could change now as a result of that analysis and it could also change because the market conditions end up being much bet and her more sustained than the currently conservatively estimating and so all that we have are the current estimates and we will be back in front of you with a revised forest city plan before the sequa starts to give you an update about the phasing plan and the uses in that area. >> and just, and just kind of in agreement with commissioner murphy, that i am not quite sure, why we are promising, if they have to be moved in and we know that eventually they will have to move, that we are promising another site within the port and we don't even know if that is available. >> and so, two that point, and so that is something that we, actually asked for. and we have a mechanism to relocate port tens under pretty much all port leases. and, because of the phasing and uncertainty here, and we were wanting to have a number of different

is something that must get reviewed by the california economical quality act we're working with the sequa to identify anything that my create additional economical impacts. generally, we don't expect that but as part of the approvals we're going to be hopeful seeking from you in december we'll have that analysis complete and, you know, finding related to the environmental impact for the preoccupied faekz change but the number one thing is to continue the development. in our review the rule of proportion immaterial and some of the benefits that are to arrive sooner are slightly arriving later and a, however, the benefits are delivered sooner. those adjustments are the things between exempting and candle stick is happening soorp rather than later. by arresting and large their related to accommodating that. this slide for simplicity is a high-level view at the major phase level. this accommodates for the incommunicable delay and accommodates the decouple of of the shipyard sites. so we had one phase and now those fees are insinuated separately and the document you're looking is the - not the
