“So hypothetically, if this project sponsor were open to wanting to move that addition forward to provide a little bit more relief on the back, it's not within our purview to be able to allow them to do that. It would have to go through this process of getting.”

“Is that something that the project sponsor was interested in having flexibility with, or were you actually comfortable with the 15 foot setback?”

Maybe we'll start with you commissioner couple sure.”

“Thank you and welcome, and thank you for doing that. I put them all on the spot, so that was really appreciated. I think everyone appreciates hearing more and learning more about you, so thank you. And of course, with these hellos comes one kind of heartfelt goodbye for us, former Commissioner Derek Braun, who is here today The other side of the diocese here, we weren't sure of the timing of the turnover. So we're really grateful he's here today. And we can just carve out a little time to acknowledge him and send him off with a proper goodbye. And I know there are several people that would…”

“Thank you. I appreciate the code amendments. I think loosening what we have as generally restrictive signage controls in San Francisco is welcome. I think what I don't love about it is that it's limited, I think, essentially to one, and I know you mentioned this in your comments, but I think it's essentially limited to one building. Is that correct? Yeah. So while I can support it today, I would love to find a way that we can apply this. There's this great quote in the packet. This allows more sign flexibility than larger parcels within mixed-use districts to support the vitality of mixed-use…”

“I'll just pile on to that sentiment that I do, and that public comment around commending the city. I do think that they've done a tremendous job lowering the barriers and incentivizing office conversion as best they can, especially in downtown. I think they've implemented every recommendation that SPUR made several years ago at this point. So this is just one more thing I think that's really going to help move the needle. And it's very exciting to hear that we have some finally moving forward. So I wish you best of luck with that project. And this also has my full support, obviously, because…”

“And then in terms of policy three, when we talk about this three-year performance period and that it would be sort of this automatic revocation if construction has not commenced, sometimes projects get caught with all of the best intentions, they get caught in processes, some of which are some of them are just out of their control. If there's good effort going towards this, but it still hasn't commenced construction, does that get Does that get considered in this, or is it just an auto-revocation?”

“Thank you. This feels very logical to me. I think this idea of kind of hoarding the office allocation, we just can't afford to do that. And I think if we do provide enough runway, which I feel like the tiered approach is going to accommodate, then I think I'm in full support. I know we have three or four very promising office projects in the city, so making room for those to materialize I think will be really good for the city. And I also appreciate the thoughtfulness of the reallocation prioritizing housing and projects that sort of have like a higher readiness. I do have one kind of maybe…”

“I mean, this is just going to be a pile on here, but you've come all the way here, so I'm just going to take the opportunity. I completely agree. Going down to the site, I had the privilege of going down for the ULI in the fall, and it is mind-blowing. I encourage the public to go and see. It just gives you a sense of scale and the undertaking of what they're actually doing there. I would call this like a generational project, right? And it's taken a huge team and a huge collaboration, and Hats off to all of you for your endurance. It is a turbulent landscape out there and your perseverance…”

“I'll go. Thank you for the presentations. Our assignment here at the Commission for DRs is to find exceptional and extraordinary circumstances with your case. It's clear this project has been through a lot of hurdles. I think discovering you have a Cat A historic building in a project process is a lot, and there's been a lot of I don't know, contortionist moves that you've had to make to get to where we are now, some of which were voluntary, which I commend the project sponsor for. I find this addition to be very modest in nature. I think the impact from the expansion is very reasonable. It's…”

“Thank you, Commissioner Tso. Sequa is incredibly complicated. I'm an architect. I'm in the orbit of talking about Sequa. And even I had to spend a ton of time with these amendments. I spent a lot of time with staff. Thank you. So it's easy to get confused. You need a glossary, a cheat sheet, just to understand what a lot of this means. And it's clear to me, even from a lot of the public commentary, that there's a lot of confusion. So I really appreciate a lot of the time we're taking here to get that clarification and really get on the same page about what these changes are and are not. I…”

“Okay, thank you. Thank you so much for the presentation. SF permit is something we've been hearing a lot about, but getting a window into what you all have accomplished in the last year and where we're heading is fantastic. And I love that there's vision, right? That there's... I loved hearing, as someone that is, you know, my side, you know, my other job is I am one of your customers, you know, and my colleagues are your customers, and I think... approaching it not for what's easy for us, but what's the customer experience, I think, is going to be game changing.

“Without creating more, this is so informative, without creating more work, is it possible we could do this at some healthy cadence? Absolutely. Whether it's annual or just to kind of understand what happened in the last year and where are we headed now?”
