-    Southeast Health Center (2401 Keith Street)
o    Lisa Zayos-Chien, Project Manager, Special Projects San Francisco Department of Public Health presented on the multi-phase proposed renovation of the Southeast Health Center
o    Lisa started the presentation addressing what the center provides now and how it has evolved over the years. She addressed the need to change the function of the center to better fit the neighborhood and what is being asked from the neighbors.
o    The project is laid out in two phases. With the first being a rehab of the current space. This phase will shut down parts of the center for work, without of having to close the entire facility due to construction. The first phase is covered with funding provided by grants and city funding.
o    Phase two is the more complex project with the construction of new facility on what is currently a parking lot. Many committee members addressed the parking issue that could arise with the new layout. The issue brought up was how the surrounding area lacks the off-street parking compared to the need. With the community pool just around the block and the small scale of parking that Southeast is proposing is could cause a problem.
o    Many CAC members have brought up the idea of a multi-floor parking structure on the proposed future parking spot. Connecting with private developers to help organize and run the space could help with cost. Lisa took the comments seriously and would come back to the committee in the future with answer to the parking discussion.
o    Note: The Committee cannot take a stance on this project due to upcoming ballot measure
