of the proposed project? >> 135 patrons per show. 3300 from 3100. president david chiu: that's my understanding. an increase about 4 percent of capacity for individuals. as i read your appeal letter, it didn't from my perspective didn't address the environmental analysis or the adequacy of that or as much as from 2013 was granted. i wanted to ask why didn't you bring a cu appeal if you spent a lot of time in your letter focused on that. >> we didn't file a conditional use appeal. the board is very stringent of getting the board before yourself. the reasons we did file a conditional use appeal. it was accepted by the clerk. the analysis of the signature did not meet the threshold required by the board of supervisors and the city ordinance and we probably depending on how things go today we'll see the ultimate outcome, but we did file the appeal. >> you did not have enough in the threshold. >> we did not. >> the appeals in the past were brought with 20 percent property signatures if that's correct. >> i think that is correct. i was not involved at the time. if you asked the question

allegiance. pledge of allegiance. president david chiu: colleagues we have our december 10, 2013, board meeting minutes. motioned by breed and campos. those minutes are approved. madam clerk, do we have any communications? >> there are no communications today, mr. president. >> can you read our special order. >> the first item is the policy discussion by mayor edwin lee. sfitem 140022: [formal policy discussions - january 14, 2014] pursuant to charter, sections 2.103 and 3.100077, and administrative code, section 2.11, the mayor shall answer the following eligible questions submitted from supervisors representing districts 1, 5, and 9. the mayor may address the board initially for up to five minutes. discussion shall not exceed five minutes per supervisor. 1. mayor lee, we are in the midst of a housing affordability and evictions crisis not seen since the venture-capital tech surge and real estate speculation frenzy of the late 1990s "dot com boom." your response in the last two months certainly deserves credit - - first, in supporting the preference legislation for ellis evictees from

rules but by using an exception to the rules. chiu president david chiu: thank you mr. wallace. thank you colleagues, any questions to mr. wallace? i have a couple questions to help frame the conversation because obviously as district supervisor i know a little bit about this project given all the appeals over the years. given that we've had a number of appeals and lawsuit, there are a lot of details that are confusing. we are talking about the mornings -- modernization of the masonic center. can you tell the number of the proposed project? >> 135 patrons per show. 3300 from 3100. president david chiu: that's my understanding. an increase about 4 percent of capacity for individuals. as i read your appeal letter, it didn't from my perspective didn't address the environmental analysis or the adequacy of that or as much as from 2013 was granted. i wanted to ask why didn't you bring a cu appeal if you spent a lot of time in your letter focused on that. >> we didn't file a conditional use appeal. the board is very stringent of getting the board before yourself. the reasons we did file a co

. >>president david chiu: supervisor mar? >>supervisor eric mar: could you respond to the neighborhoods about not having any notice and only a couple people going to the meeting in 2012. because i think there are real fears that people have and real concerns about it about the necessity and compatibility and the desirability of the nine panel antennas on that building. >> certainly, i'm happy to. we send out our notices and copies of all the addresses and the notice to the planning department. it's included in the record. supervisors you know i can't force people to come to community meetings. the radio services is an independent third party vendor that we hire to do that mailing. we don't do it in-house. i think that's why we have another meeting at the planning commission so people have an opportunity to be heard and the necessity standard is met. the desirable and compatibility standard has been met through the alternate site analysis and when that happened, the burden of the carrier has been met and the fcc says there is very little left. >> i know when in past antenna

grab and trying to get thousand for trading. as far as the coverage gap. >>president david chiu: thank you, next speaker. >> my name is michael murphy, i live and 625 sixth avenue. i would like to address the fcc act now codified in section 322c. first, my qualifications. for about 20 years i worked as a research attorney for the court of appeals initially for judge women -- william newsom and judge wagner. i have written eight law receive articles and the journal and the nyu journal review in business and the business lawyer, a peer review of the american bar association. the critical point i want to make relates to familiar parentheses pl that status should uphold their constitutionality. section 3c would encroach on our constitutional rights. fortunately it lend itself to a common sense interpretation. the right of petition applies not only to the petitions in the common sense but also guarantees access to the courts and administrative agency and protects an individual's right to challenge the misused guide of all as the result. it lies to the part of the democratic. what does secti

david chiu as a colleague in this building i've known david for 20 years since he was a year ahead of me in law school and we ended up think the board of supervisors sometimes agreeing and sometimes fighting by also doing what is the best for people of san francisco i have continually been impressed david with our ability to navigate go not just one of the most critiqued district in san francisco politically by a city that is complicated an institution in the board of supervisors that is complicated to say to be able to say not only to succeed on this body in terms of legislation and the work in our district, everything you've be able to accomplish but to do it i believe constantly with professionalism and grace i can agree to disagree without being disagreeable i've been at any wit's end and you've kept our cool it's served you well, you've kept our cool but incredibly tenacious and pass n passionate and moved for some of the most complicated legislation to think that this board of supervisors passed legislation authorizes by david chiu to provide a hypotheses to legalization for in-

these workers will be there for a short amount of time. >>president david chiu: thank you very much. let's hear from the next speaker and if there are other members of the public that wish to speak on this, lineup on the right hand side of the board chamber. >> president chiu and supervisors, good afternoon. my name is sophie law and i'm the property owner immediate adjacent to the subject property of 431 balboa street, my property starts as 437 to 439 balboa street. we definitely want to oppose the approval of this conditional use permit and we are here to support the appeal. i would like to show you the diagram, the subject building is right there and the one next to it is exactly ours. we have seven commercial stores currently but it is within the partnership that our intention is to build another 3-4 story. so we will be creating low housing, commercial store for the area, and my concern is this: i understand the safety zone to 32 feet. can you imagine once we build our building, anywhere from 3-4 stories, i will make it short. so the safety issue, 32 feet were within that. in a

imagination zero and action zero. thank you, mr. president. >>president david chiu: next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm a staff attorney. thanks for the opportunity to speak today. we are here to support resolution with most standing in our community of the anti-arab advertising. in addition to this victimization and post 911 environment their civic engagement has been severely impinged as the problem. as you know we've been here before. this has been in san francisco for years. when we first came, san francisco stood together and at all -- at tall in such hate. 35 leadership, the board of supervisors, district attorney and the mayor of san francisco all sent a clear message. the 1st amendment may not allow san francisco to these hateful ads. this stands with the arabs and now the advertisements are back. we know that san francisco leaders will work with us to address discrimination after they arrive. by this resolution you rea firm your commitment to protect the arab communities in the san francisco family. for that we are thankful. we are here to ask for a little bit more as well, hate

previous history of probability offen suring. -- >>president david chiu: thank you very much. >> apparently my video is going to be dead. my name is chris udall. we as pedestrians are a perishable lot. we were bumped off and killed one of the families and the scene out front is is among the scariest pedestrian crossing. some drivers don't actually care as you see from my video. they don't care enough to stay within the bounds of the law. they don't care enough to wait their turn. they don't have to care because no one is paying attention. there is no one on a motorcycle waiting to summon that bad driver. there is no consequence for this behavior. there is no consequence until there is high damage for the behavior until there is injury or death. your response has been something called vision zero, your dream of zero pedestrian death. when i hear this phrase i immediately think of answerer oh vision as in blindness, as in the drivers blindness to the risk they put others to as in your blindness to the facts of our daily lives. when i see this, i see imagination zero and action zero. thank you
