president chiu? president chiu: thank you. party promoters. there have been too many public safety incidents around nightclubs. while we have some regulatory authority around nightclubs, we have had no oversight over the number of fly by night party promoters, whose activities and events have, unfortunately, led to unavoidable tragedy. over the past year, 80% of the entertainment permits that have been suspended as a result of public safety incidences as well as 80% of the permits that have seen additional security requirements imposed on them by the city imposed after incidents involve those at party promoters have thrown. -- involve those that party promoters have thrown. clubs would only be able to work with those party promoters who have registered. since the vast majority -- at this time, i am not going to propose additional initial requirements from online legislation. however, if there is an event where there has been an actual or a significant injury, property damage, safety problems, or native of disturbances, the entertainment commis

all right, supervisor chiu? supervisor chiu: i do have one very small amendment i would like to make to this resolution, both due to this conversation in the conversation office has had with stakeholders to provide a little bit of flexibility to those for a solution. what i would like to propose is that on the second page of the resolution that we referred to the importance of ensuring the new development projects should substantially advance the underlying housing production goals, so other words, rather than locking us into a very precise way of producing the housing, that as long as we know we are making headway in achieving levels that are substantial, and we have continued to hear that word mentioned in discussion in the public comment that that is what we are trying to achieve, so just to add the word "substantially" into that. chair maxwell: all right, then, colleagues, on the amendment. so moved. the legislation as amended. madam clerk, i would like to go back to item number three. clerk somera: to provi

commissioner chiu: thank you very much. next speaker. >> last year, i'll learn the truth about 9/11 -- i learned the truth about 9/11. this resulted in a loss of respect for president bush and cheney and a loss of motivation for this war, which i took off my bumper stickers, the "god bless our troops" and "we support our troops." the third was respect for 90% of the talk-show hosts. alex jones, i respect. for instance, let me tell you what happened. i listen to christian radio a lot of the times, and one of the christians states in fremont, and i went to dr. craig roberts, i was not able to listen to him and was not able to talk to him, but the manager of capex radio told me he was not going to talk about the facts of the crime scene of 9/11, and he had instructed craig roberts and andy berlin that they were not allowed to talk about the fact of the crime scene. he said he had instructed them not to talk about the facts of the crime scene. that is sad. that shows there is very little real talk radio. the last vestige of fre

supervisor chiu: the numbers are calculated separately. so the 47% number reflects the specific number of incidents, as opposed to blending those percentages in the middle column. ok, supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. good morning, capt. this was a helpful process that we started four years ago, in what was then the safety committee. it is now easier to read and understand, largely thanks to constat. what about part 2 crimes, other crimes that are not captured here? >> we can calculate that. i did bring that last time, but i did not bring it today. i can get that for you. supervisor mirkarimi: like your predecessors, who really had to do the extracurricular work of crunching numbers at home, when will that process stop so that we can have, with greater simplicity and access, other part two crimes that are not here? >> we can definitely work on that. they do not push out a part 2 crimes report like they do with this one, but i could get it to you within 30 minutes. supervisor mirkarimi: this has certainly been an area o

supervisor chiu? supervisor chiu: there is going to be an rfp process. we are simply passing so that it can have a use so we can figure out exactly who will go into the center, is that correct? >> yes. there has been no deal. and entertain the use of the theater has shown some interest, but like anyone else, they would be required to go through the rfp process. i think the supervisors have been looking at creative solutions during this difficult economic times. one that he has helped to establish is if you are familiar with the tower records site. there was a pop-up store i believe on sunday, and all of the employees, a member from the transgender economic employment initiatives, so people who have been seeking jobs, another program which the city funds, they tend to work at the goodwill, so, again, another creative approach as we look at vacancies. chair maxwell: would you explain it to the public to may not know "pop-up store" and then "rte"? >> looking for a long-term tenant, and he is to open up the store so the good will could be there. good will, e

chair maxwell: so, supervisor chiu? supervisor chiu: thank you, madam chair, for your consideration, and thank you, colleagues. san francisco and the bay area faces enormous an extreme housing shortages in the coming years. it has been stated that san francisco, a city alone, ought to be producing over 31,000 units of housing over the seven- year period that we're in to ensure that as a city and as an area we can adequately deal with the needs of a residence in san francisco. in many of our area plants, we have included ratios of residential to commercial development in order to ensure that we are helping to promote appropriate development, and this particular resolution is here to really emphasize the fact that this is an important policy matter that as a city, we ought to adopt. no, this is a resolution that does not specifically mention one area, but it does have something dealing with the project, there is right now in the van ness area, a specific requirement that the ratio of residential to commercial housing, whe

president chiu: thank you. are there any final speakers as part of the project sponsor? >> my name is mike murray, director of community relations for pet food express. i've been involved in bay area animal rescue for 17 years now. i've known michael and mark for 15 years, long before they were a big business or considered a chain. i started a dog rescue group 15 years ago and i saw firsthand how their help and assistance helped our group grow. i joined the company five years ago because i admired their community support of animal welfare and i have an opportunity to further that and grow it. thank you. president chiu: thank you very much. let me ask if there are members of the public that wish to speak on behalf of the project sponsor, if you could please step up to the microphone and line up in the center aisle. why don't we hear from our first speaker? >> i'm louise actually and i'm the vice president of the police canine organization. we're non-profit and i'm unpaid volunteer and i spend part of my week for

president chiu: next speaker. >> i am here partly to introduce myself. i am the new executive director as of about a week and a half ago. i just wanted to add to what has already been said, the area where it is being proposed is an area that has three of the most dangerous intersections in san francisco. as currently proposed, the plan does not have adequate mitigation for the impact of the many cars it will be attracting to the area. i urge the supervisors to ensure that this plan includes adequate mitigation to make it more safe instead of more dangerous. one thing i should add, the department of public health has a pedestrian and injury forecasting model. the department of public health has a more accurate way to assess the impact on people walking then perhaps we have seen a in the eir. the idea is to bring more life to mid market. not more death. thank you. president chi>> i have had expen integrating a retail centers with historic resources. in a city district, it is extremely advantageous to create a unique identity, especially nationally or inter

supervisor alioto-pier: aye president chiu? president chiu: no. supervisor daly,. supervisor daly: daly, no. supervisor dufty? duftyy aye, ebles, aye, mar, no, maxwell, maxwell aye, mirkarimi, mirkarimi no. there are five aye's and six nos. president chiu: so that motion failed. colleagues, are there any other motion. my understanding is if someone wants to make a motion to reverse that we take a vote on that and if that fails, the cu is affirmed. so, is there a motion to reverse the certification? supervisor elsbernd. supervisor elsbernd: i make a motion to table items 38, 39 and 40. president chiu: supervisor elsbernd has made a motion to table all these items. seconded by supervisor alioto-pier. colleagues, any discussion? do we need to take a roll call vote on that? do that without objection? okay. so if we could, we will be tabling this -- all three of these items. and being again, for members of the public, that means that by default the conditional use will stand. with that, why don't we proceed to the other items that we have today. i'd like to go to our 3:

supervisor chiu: thank you. colleagues, this is an item i have asked for the committee to consider, along with supervisor maxwell, stemming from my experience as a criminal prosecutor years ago. highly publicized incidents in the southeast part of the city, my office worked with a number of crime victims and we heard many stories that pointed to shortcomings and gaps in how our city held to address crime victims'. i have asked a number of city apartments to meet with my office and through that meeting we have realized that there continue to be significant shortcomings of the system. for 30 seconds let me highlight some of the themes that we heard. i think that it is obvious that in tough budget times we often lack of direct services that ideally as a city we could offer. just as important, there are many instances in lack of coordination, lack of single points of entry for victims that are eligible for services. the lack of the ability within the city to track cases involving victims and a duplication of resourc
