. >> commissioner wu. i want to make a comment about outreach. this project came to us and the neighbors said they didn't have the chance to speak with the sponsor. it's hard to know but it's clear that the upper and lower polk have questions and maybe the department can provided contacts the most recent contacts. i'm not sure where the notification process is failing us. commissioner >> yes. i'd like to follow-up on the parking open the second level comment. i think that the plan wise it shows it as residential parking. we have a concern about that. and the staff should take note of that and staff should take a look at the way the earth is presented. the neighborhood context is quite different. and i'm not saying it has to have a one hundred percent, you know, doesn't have to look like it's neighbors exactly we're not saying that. but staff gets the idea. and i think we're not totally - well, i'm not totally opposed to the height. there are other buildings in the area that may not quite as at all so height to me isn't a concern >> following up o

commissioner wu >> thank you. i'm really happy to support the plan today. i really want to thank the supports supportsers this kind of neighborhood organizing takes a lot of diligence and patience but i think it's great to see the department supporting what i'll call the neighborhood determinations for a lot of people to get into a room difficult to come to a skoeng but to find the common pieces. i also want to say that it's interesting starting to a grapple with the organization it continues through this plan and but what this means for san francisco is a challenge and a creative one. i said this in july i think that the gary brt is a real opportunity to do further organizing. you need projects that have money behind them. i know that b r it is very controversial but if it's going to happen there can be real physical changes that can be made to the link of transportation to japan town that can keep people coming to the neighborhood >> commissioner borden. >> yeah. i wasn't at the earlier meeting but i want to support the process. it's exciting to see a gro

. >> commissioner wu? >> i also wanted to ask about this concept of on balance. there is 13 i think guidelines that allow for the expedited review. the notion on balance, there was the conversation asked, obviously meeting one guideline doesn't mean on balance. is it a numerical calculation or some sort of judgment put in there as well? >> i think it's a little bit more subjective on that. it depends on the objectives that one or more of those projects would meet. which of the elements are key at the time. one of the commentors commented on maybe the needs of where those identify now. this could changeover time. we put the burden of proof for any project asking for an incentive to show us why they would be qualified for an incentive. so to a document why that particular neighborhood is identified as a particularly low income or high vulnerable neighborhood and the extent to which to address that issue within that neighborhood as an example. >> thank you. and to be clear incentives are process related incentives and not density bonus, correct? >> so far we've only
