subject property 530 howard street. appealing the disapproval on january 28th, 2021, -- >> could we -- sorry. could we take like a two or three minute biological opportunity, please. >> absolutely. and i will restart. >> thank you. >> thank you >> we are now on item number 7. this is appeal number 21-009. becker boards versus the planning department. subject property 530 howard street. appealing the disapproval on january 28th, 2021, of a building permit. applicant is becker boards llc to remove a 25' by 40' billboard to replace with new 25' by 40' billboard at the same location. the planning department did not approve this permit because the proposed scope of the work constitutes the removal and replacement of a general advertising sign in violation of the planning code. as a preliminary matter, the owner of the sign currently at the subject property would like to ask the board if it can participate in this case as an interested party. the appellant and the deputy administrator will have the opportunity to address the

on march 17, a year ago, 2020, i was standing inside moscone center, overlooking third and howard streets, the day before the shelter in place order had been announced, and we moved from our very tightly packed, not very safe emergency operations center on turk street to moscone center. outside, the streets were empty, and it was, like, every person, bicycle, scooter, and car, had just disappeared. inside, however, it was a completely different story. it was a hive buzzing with activity. we had veteran responders who had been working nonstop over the previous two months, and we also had hundreds of new, fresh faces. these were planners, election staffers, librarians, analysts, accountants, you name it, from other city departments, who were activated by disaster service workers. we had work to do. since that day, over 11,000 san francisco public servants have banded together to develop and implement one of the most expansive local emergency response shelters in the country. together -- and you've heard some of these numbers already -- the covid command centers have tested 1.6 million tests

it included a smaller amount of an expansion that was what was originally recommended on the 1380 howard, the 24-hour pharmacy, and they moved some of that over to the purchase of a boarding care facility. so what you will see is in the d.p.h. presentation, there was operating cost of about $2 million out of the funding from the board of supervisors, so they're asking for annualization of those, so that's going to bump up pretty significantly, especially in fiscal year 21-22 to a much higher amount. so it would be going up from -- you know, up to about $44 million annual expenditure with those, so that's a pretty significant, you know, thing that we need to think about as a body. for the h.s.h. piece of things, the -- the on going -- basically we funded -- as you may recall, we recommended funding for people in the s.i.p. hotels for phase one and two. we wanted to wait and not put the third and fourth phase of the hotels because we wanted to see the assessment because there was a very small assessment that had been done, and speculation of who would fall into which categories. so at this

on february 19th, 2021, kathryn howard filed an appeal of the planning department's no substantial modification determination to the e.r.o.. i'll note this was the first such appeal that has been filed. this type of appeal is allowed pursuant to the administrative code. this is not an appeal of the sequence. in addition, the code notes that appeals like this shall not delay or suspend any permit approval or other discretionary approval authorized in the change of the project or suspend any construction activity. returning for the subject of my report on this particular appeal, on march 11th, 2021, i held a public hearing for the appeal the challenge substantiate. the appeal primarily raised concerns related to the nighttime lighting of the wheel. an additional four years of operation would have significant impact on historical resources, environmental resources, and other topics. on march 25th, i issued a determination that upheld the department's initial determination that the revised project does not constitute a substantial modification. the department determined that the project meets the s

catherine howard speaking by yourself. i'd like to point out that you cut down on public comment by combining the two. i'm not sure if it falls under sunshine, but it short changes you commissioners because it does not allow for full public input. the slide on participating groups was shown very quickly, but the yimby group was also shown, which shows the slant two development. i'm hoping you're not planning on building housing in golden gate park, but this points out two things. one is our parks are not taken out and shown on their own, and secondly, if the map is that inaccurate, then you have to wonder about the other data. and speaking about parks and open space, there is no mention of setting aside land for open space or parks, so you want to crowd in more people but not have parks. free space are important for people and wildlife, and this is earth day, so that should be given prime consideration. thank you. >> hi. thank you so much for hearing from us today. i'm jessica lehman, and i'm director of the senior action

catherine howard. this legislation is new to most people in san francisco, and it's taking them by surprise. there is a feeling that covid is being used as an excuse to ram through the process. this seems to benefit restaurants more than other businesses and especially more than the residents living near the restaurants. planning controls protect san francisco as a unique homes where they can raise their children in neighborhoods that are distinct, quiet, and safe. i'm very disappointed in the historic preservation commission. we all know that the planning commission is a dead end 99% of the time. yes, san francisco is technically a city, but more than that, it is a collection of neighborhoods, each with a new character, and each with a business district that should serve that neighborhood first and fit in with the family life of nearby residents. the legislation has blindsided many of us. your legislation should be postponed and a robust discussion should be put in place to discuss how it would affect

a result of this, there is no a mostly continuous, mostly car-free path from the ferry building via howard and folsom. and to eastern jfk and western overlook and middle mlk, one of the most popular facilities created in a temporary basis during covid. it has not been without controversy. as a result of that, there was a working group convened that started back in i believe it was january or february. they will issue a report in may and it is handed off to the recreation parks department with us supporting. we have now developed a fairly detailed work scope to take the work of the working group and conduct additional detailed analysis, including a really detailed traffic analysis that includes the impacts not only of what has happened in golden gate park but also on the great highway for traffic throughout the west side in the north south and east west direction get a better understanding of the pinch points and what are the things we can do to mitigate the traffic in order to capture some of the safety benefits of the closures without making congestion worse on the west side. very importa
