♪♪ >> san francisco! ♪♪

>> this is an exhibition across departments highlighting different artworks from our collection. gender is an important part of the dialogue. in many ways, this exhibition is contemporary. all of this artwork is from the 9th century and spans all the way to the 21st century. the exhibition is organized into seven different groupings or themes such as activities, symbolism, transformation and others. it's not by culture or time period, but different affinities between the artwork. activities, for example, looks at the role of gender and how

certain activities are placed as feminine or masculine. we have a print by uharo that looks at different activities that derisionly performed by men. it's looking at the theme of music. we have three women playing traditional japanese instruments that would otherwise be played by men at that time. we have pairings so that is looking within the context of gender in relationships. also with how people are questioning the whole idea of pairing in the first place. we have three from three different cultures, tibet, china and japan. this is sell vanity stot relevar has been fluid in different time periods in cultures.

sometimes being female in china but often male and evoking features associated with gender binaries and sometimes in between. it's a lovely way of tying all the themes together in this collection. gender and sexuality, speaking from my culture specifically, is something at that hasn't been recently widely discussed. this exhibition shows that it's gender and sexuality are actually have been considered and complicated by dialogue through the work of artists and thinking specifically, a sculpture we have of the hindu deities because it's half pee male and half male. it turns into a different theme

in a way and is a beautiful representation of how gender hasn't been seen as one thing or a binary. we see that it isn't a modest concept. in a way, i feel we have a lot of historical references and touch points throughout all the ages and in asian cultures. i believe san francisco has close to 40% asian. it's a huge representation here in the bay area. it's important that we awk abouk about this and open up the discussion around gender. what we've learned from organizing this exhibition at the museum is that gender has been something that has come up in all of these cultures through all the time periods as something that is important and relevant. especially here in the san francisco bay area we feel that it's relevant to the conversations that people are having today. we hope that people can carry that outside of the museum into

their daily lives. >> i think a lot of times we get in adult lives we are afraid to follow our passions and think life can't be that easy. but i truly do believe i followed my heart this time in my journal in city government i did not know that is where my passion lied. i kept following it and ltd. to great opportunity to serve the city. [music]

>> i'm katy tang the executive director of the office of small business. >> small business contributes to san francisco's economy. they provide the bulk of employment in the city and employing a million people in san francisco. and roughly 90% of the businesses are defined as small businesses. so, they contribute to the economy but also just the quality of life. small businesses are more then and there a place of transaction it is a community center. a play where people gather. know each other and form memories about the city. >> at the office of mall business i run a team this helps report all mall businesses in san francisco whether they are looking to stfrt a new business or expand or perhaps they are

feeling with issues. our office is here as a point of information for anyone with a business that has 100 or nower employees. >> i was growing up i had many ideas of when i wanted to do. i wanted to being an olympic swimmer. and i wanted to men be an architect, you name it i had many ideas for what i wanted do when i grew up. and i never anticipated entering in politics. this opportunity came along wh started working for former supervisor carmen chu and she became the district 4 sunset district supervisor. that was my firstent row in politics and government in a different level. and so when i was finishing up my time working for legislative aid i thought, i will go off and

do something else. may be explore opportunity outside of city government what was then approached by this opportunity to also serve as a district 4 supervisor. if not the traditional route that many people think of when you enter in politics. a lot know that is manage than i want to do and run for office. that was not part of my culture and upbringing with manage my parents were wondering why i wanted to go in that role this legislation and important because so many women when have it return to work after having a child feel embarrassed or don't feel comfortable asking their supervisor for will any lactation accommodations. i saw it as an opportunity you could use the position where you have tools creating legislation and pass laws and where people listen to to you help the

community and pass cause catharsis important to the city and individuals. my family immigrated to the united states from taiwan. and they came here in pronl probably late 20's almost 30. and so, they came also in the knowing english limp barely read or write but had to quickly understand english to i can't haveigate services and find a job in america. i grew up in the san francisco sunset district i spent most of my childed hoo up until i went off to college. so when i started working in city government, i think i had mixed reactions about my involvement working government because for some of our parents generation, there is i bit of distrust in government. i think there are questions about why i was entering in this field of work. i think you know when i went in

city government i thought about my parents like so many other who is have to navigate city services and resources english first language and help the individuals both navigate, intercept that is on an application approximate signage. it is fulfilling to mow to help people like my parent and feel like government is there to support them and not to harm them. my parents are happy that i retired early from politics and being a district 4 supervisor i could have continued on for a couple more years approximate decided to leave early. i think that over all they were able to see some of my work appear in the chinese newspaper. through that they were able to see i was able to help communities in a tangible way. >> the member of the board of supervisors. >> transportation authority. for the city and county of san

francisco. congratulations. >> i think about one importance when i was worn in as district 4 supervisor. years ago, and someone actually came up to me during the swear nothing ceremony and said, wow, i'm traveling here from canada, and i just i could not believe i saw an asian female worn in in this role a leadership role this meant so much that someone would say that and felt they were inspired by the scene. so -- i hope that as more people see people that look like them and more women coming in positions of leadership than i feel they can doing the same. person this inpyred me is carmen chu who is our city add administrator but also was district 4 supervisor when i worked with her as a legislative aid. at this point, i too, was

skeptical of going in politics. i saw someone who had herself never seen herself in politics. got thrown into it and put her heart and soul and dedication to serve people. and it gave me the confidence to pursue that same job and i honestly would not have either chosen or accepted or considered serving on the board of supervisors were not for carmen. >> if you want to make your business accessible. >> in my role in city government where i have seen the most challenge is people who don't know you and you are here to serve and help them that they classify you as our city government and here to hurt you. so, people will talk to you and -- and just you know treat you disrespectfully. and sometimes i noticed that they might do more to me as a female compared to my male colleagues. but you know i try to be

empathetic. one of the most significant barriers to female empowerment we feel like we have to be 100% meeting all of the qualifications before we think that we are qualified to do a job. if we look at a job description or an opportunity to come your way well is self doubt about whether you can fulfill the obligations of that role. i think that the confidence is huge and sometimes i think we make up for it by trying to gain more experience. more and more and more in whatever we can put under our belts we'll feel better. that may not be the case. we might be qualified with when we have already accomplished. i started rock climbing indoors a couple years ago as an activity to try to spends time

with my husband and also to try something new and i finds that rock climbing there are so many parallels to life. you know when i'm on the wall i'm concentrating and trying to make it to the next piece without falling. there are daying you think i'm not making progress. you come back and wow, i hit another level. and so i feel like in our daily lives and w we think we are not making enough of i change in the city. and sometimes we have to take out time to reflect every day as long as you try and give it your all and you look back you will have made a significant contribution there is no limit to where you go in terms of rock climbing. i want to reminds myself of that in terms of daily life. >> follow what it is you are

interested in, what makes you feel excited about wake up every day. you never know and be open to all the possibilities and opportunity. [music] hi, i'm chris and you are watching san francisco rising. this is about rebuilding and reimaging the city. we will talk about revitalizing downtown. >> thank you for having me. >> the initiatives in the

we looked at economic development and change offering. people were accessing, you know, nightlife, food, or shopping differently out of the pandemic. we wanted to look at marketing and what it meant to get the news out about what we were doing in the district. looking at our own organize as well and what we would need to get that out there. also creating a safe space. we are creating a safe and secure area. our locals in particular you can go shopping anywhere in the bay area. any of those places will look like any other place. in san francisco, you are somewhere special. this is a unique place and we needed to get it right.

we have done that work and continue to support our district and see different ways to do business here. to be creative and innovative. we were able to change the planning code to make it more flexible to do business here. we are the c3r. we have three floors of retail maybe today we don't want two levels maybe we just want one level instead of too much retail we need a school or something else. very exciting times and really interesting people and ideas. >> that's great. >> so, i guess, finally, what do you have for san francisco residents and businesses to be apart of this. >> this is the gateway of san

francisco. it only drives. right now, we are so many and still love our great city and what we would like to see. this is san francisco and the residents. look around, have a coffee. listen to music on the weekends. we have so much to offer union square. with that, support these businesses. we have a number of openings, a number of businesses betting on union square. in fact, we have a new hotel. the owner is from back of house, that's the name of the organize. they brought us several other residents and now this wonderful restaurant, i

zoning map to reflect the senior housing special use district affirming ceqa and other findings throughout the ordinance. >> okay. thank you. so much. supervisor engardio du want to say a few word sns >> sure, thank you. i wanted to thank the committee for entertaining the amendments. the intent of this is to we know we have to create housing. like we can't do nothing this is allowing for the type of housing that a lot of residents are asking for. long time residents gives the ability to do more senior housing and to do family housing. i consider the gus market concept at 44th to corn lot next to single family homes. a grocery on the bottom floor and housing above. i envision not every corn would be impacted but allows the opportunity for corn lots to be

anchors to provide ground floor groceries or senior care or childcare with the ability with an elevator that people live above. that is it in a nut shell. happy to discuss it more great if you could attach these amendments. >> thank you. supervisor engardio. adopt said these last time and vote on them today. i wanted give my 2 cents and thank you for bringing this to the committee. we are looking at the way this we will implement the housing elements. and in variousity rigzs coming in front of the committee of zoning special density controls, looking at equity. and density equity with the east and west side. this set of tools was not in our housing element. we did not include it. and looking at you know the 82 thousand we committed to do.

this i think actually gets us a bit more room. in terms of everything else. it spread its out. among the greater area. and gives us you know -- zoning value. in terms of a greater graphic area we are flexibility in other place where is it makes sense. i wanted to put this out there i think we need to quantify what that is. i think that this is smart and gives us wiggle room. thank you for doing temperature i appreciate it. and if there is no other comments or questions from my colleagues. y president supervisor peskin. >> look at the amendments we adopted last week in the interveing week, when we were grabbling over meetings with the family housing sud.

... is the change of the 5 year will we have 5 year, 1 year look back and this turns to a worn year look back. i'm specifically referring to page 8. line 21. why we want to do that? because we have very robust conversationos that. and firead this correctly, this basically is revisiting the entire approved family housing opportunity sud we passed. >> supervisor engardio? >> thank you for bringing that up. the change was meant to make it consistent. this the housing opportunity passed in assessment. and in december, last year, we

passed housing production ordinance that has the one 0. them is trying to make it consistent top what we 9-2 vote when we passed in december of i'm trying to make this consistent what was more recently passed by the board. this. >> conforming with when? mrs. floerz is here to answer that question. i'm showing president supervisor peskin this is the what was passed in december the housing production. and so letter g line 10 talks about a minimum of a year and line 18, says shall apply the time of submittal for a lot

containing 2 or more the zero. so -- that we pass in the december. i thought make it consistents top when we passed. >> thank you, chair melgar and -- just want to echo what supervisor engardio shared so. the -- sud sdpt ownership requirements based on the number of units of the property. but supervisor shared. there was more recent legislation. that awfuls revisited ownership requirement this is is to make it consistent and that would be the one year requirement in front of us. >> stream lining legislation? >> housing production, yes. this is a large are issue

threeing of piece of planning code monthly, and so you know we go and do the actual public transparent policy work here. we end up with the split and another 100 gauge piece of legislation somes long we undermine it. my response is, i like to go back to ordinance 24823-g and back to our 5 year one year we talked about and had input. keep miss instead planning code so called you know contrain legislation this is my response. >>. s so -- if you will remember president supervisor peskin, that legislation like this legislation was a set of incentives.

and also constraints. we would lose the incentive to go this route. as opposed to the irg. it is the comp indicated negotiation to make sure that you know the incentives are well and they work. to be advance of going this route opposed to the state or you know the legislation. i think this you will remember this that legislation was passed. with the sense. you voted against t. as did another member. so, and we were under a deadline. to that pass this legislation. right this . one we are not you said it is additive? >> it does give wiggle roof i hear you and appreciate the fact this could be seen as anup

zoning under the state mandated >> not could be it is. and my question would be, what do we want to trade it for? how do you quantify >> each us has that conciliation. that's right. okay. supervisor engardio. >> thank you. i wanted to add i think from when i understand is -- unless we change what we pass in the december, you adjusted go back and make it 5-1. if we don't this, it is wham we pass in the december stays at one. then folks who if ours is 5-1 folks will disregard what this and go to when we pass in the december. and then and we will not be able to create we are raising the 60 feet and the elevator building it will not happen. that's -- the solution would be change what we did in december so everything is consistent or

make this consistent to december. >> through the chair, deputy city attorney, xr i assume -- that -- the extent there are 2 different provision in 2 different piece of law, in the family and senior housing sud had the 5 year-1 year that would flow this sud, correct? or -- deputy city attorney, i'm also trying to track them in the otherwise enormous piece of legislation. my understanding the prior constraint's legislation used one year in 20 upon seven having to do with eligibility for the stream line density limits. here we are using the period of

ownership as an eligibility criteria to be in this sud. so -- they are used in different seksz of the lufor different propers. and i agree, supervisor, that that period of ownership in the sud would apply to property that is there. am located in the sud. again, they are used in different contexts one in section 207 and this deupon fining the sud. >> look. all right. i hear when supervisor guard guard is saying the 5 year look back is a disincentive. the public policy consideration that had us put this there was

of to isincent eviction. right. the notion here was an antispeculation prosecute vision there is a public policy trade off here tsud last fall, we decide in the favor antispeculation sxeshg verification protection in housing constraints. with the supervisor dissenting decide differently. legal council advise lead is nothing that preventses from stick with when we started with in the family housing opportunity special use district. which is to disincent speculation. that was the notion here.

okay. did you have something else. to be clear i'm trying to make it consistent. there is definitely renter protection and tenant protections in this you know -- they still apply. >> that gets mow to the next thing we did and this is me revisiting old turf am one thing leading to me reopening something which is -- we could go revisit the way we wrote this legislation. 3 or more. demolition of any rent controlled unit.

line tloechl 3 or more units that are or were subject to rent control. we could say interest dwelling unit that is or was subject to rent dloel is another way to deal with the issue. >> now -- supervisor engardio is only partially correct. if you want a long are look back let's say any dwelling unit subject to rent control >> mrs. florez do you have opinions or -- thank you, so, in response to president supervisor peskin's suggestion of changing

the threshold that would then take into account projectses out of the sud. so they would -- require the cua in order to proceed with their project and they would no longer be eligible. that, was -- not discussed at planning fully. we had discussed if it was the demo. the 3 rent controlled units. that is a change from when we had shared at hearing. >> yea. i think it is an amendment we can make without rereferring it was discussed by planning in the original stuff we considered in assessment. i think it is -- i defer but amendment that we make that has been discussed by planning. as relates to the original family housing sud.

i would not snap. president supervisor peskin it would defeat the purpose of doing this. to begin watch we are trying to have an option that is different from what was proposed by the mayor's office am a stream lining of the city figure out manage that worked for the west side to make the density equity issue. more spread out the way otherwise presented.

so, the having the units be back under the conditional use -- you know and -- i think you know -- i understand your in terms of rent controlled units most are single family owner occupied on corn are lots. so, and event ones that are not. it is most low single family and there are folk who is live in -- unpermitted dwelling for sure that bring its under rent control we will did dweel this in a different way. it is underwented sb330. yes. >> thank you, i think the way we smartly crafted the 5 year 1 year was that we were at a year for the building typology you are talking about.

will i'm a dog with a bone is -- i feel like we gave up the annie unit another thing is that it was the city and the north side t. is not just. completely a west side thing. extends from district got 4 and 1 and 2. only r heart attack within those districts. rh, yea well is rh in 3, 2, 1 and 4. so there is in the just a west of side thing. i still think that -- easy thing to keep the old scheme that the

experience owned the lot for 5 years if it contains 2 dwelling or a year if 1 or fewer. >> thank you. i'm curious to whether this was one of the modifications that was requested by planning xhiz. i don't think >> it was not. >> but we did reconcile a bunch of the stuff in mine after legislation passed. this will change was not in response to a planning commission recommend modification. let's go to public comment on this item.

>> thank you. if you have public comment specific to item 3 the family and senior housing special use district come forward. >> beginful speak following up on written comments urging the committee to table or pose this legislation. it premature has not been finalized. the financial study on housing for all has not been released this is a lot merger legislation. the market project is not supported in d4. as a prototype and neither is do misity.

next speaker for item 3. >> good afternoon i'm chris kline i want to say thank you for bringing to the forefront and from listening to the comment its sounds like i will defer for to you make the right decision. thank you. anyone echls for item 3. come forward at this time >> obvious lack of general public here shoes the secrecy of when is going on here. >> the building has nothing to do with this. this is about censor public -- housing. . it is idea that i will read this.

a garage and yard with close neighbor limited or no park no backyard. don't forget about [inaudible]. idea that a compound bol a corner will not affect the neighborhood it is absurd. congestion be worse. greedy developers build as many units as possible. idea of acorn are store is ludacris well is no parking 20 feet from the corny on a new space will not be low. most people don't want to live with there is a business in their blgdz. businesses are cloegz every week. a small over prized store has no chance for surverify. the map in the last meeting was

not in the paperwork for the is -- the joining of lots to build large building with a stir up. drainage will make flooding likely this proposal is an interest of yes in my backyard and greedy developers who fund them. sf is already plagues by antisenior and disabled policy this idea is include this will put the neighborhoods not a neighborhood >> do we have anyone else for agenda item 3? public comment is closed. >> president supervisor peskin. through the chair to deputy city attorney, if we just keep the language in subsection 10 the

language that is stricken. go back to the original language. owned the lot for 5 years if the site contains 2 or more units or a year if contains one or fewer units. we can vote now? question america? >> deputy city attorney, i don't think i can sign off on amendments today the legislation is so upons clarj special complicated and interacts with pieces of legislation i want to confirm we make that amendment in isolation. you could continue the item. could duplicate it one forward and keep this here to answer this for you next week. this is the language approved

and the law today. so to keep the existing law the world got complicated we can't keep the law that is the lu. >> no what i want to make sure we do is make conforming amendments elsewhere in the legislation. grown this is in isolation or other changes are warrantied. can we continue it a couple weeks. we don't have a meeting next week. i wanted dmiem that i did specific low negotiate every aspect of this sud. i think this is okay. >> h sd whisperer. a motion to continue to the next meeting. motion offered by member supervisor peskin to continue

which as i said last week. is better than the 78 programful alie rent control as much as possible as new adu's are developd and what extent the state will stand in the way or get out of the way and the amendments do 3 things first retaint limit in the hybrid instead of 3. the ambigutey more adu's to the local program. and -- improved the designatemation language in the hybrid adding the california

eligible properties or eligible. page 34 and also -- adds a 60 day approval for the local program to make it appealing as the state program. bring those to alinement and incentivize rent control that will have to be rereferred to building. who i you work your magic the commission can look my home to make them and continue to the call the chair and wish the good talent. the building inspection is considering this provision on page 67. . thank you for wing on the

questions. i don't think we have a presentation we have continue third degree item because president supervisor peskin had amendmented. i will turn it over to you now. >> to me? jury thank you. i have amendments drafted but am wath for them to be approved as to formful this is legislation proposed form based density. we'll deal with this in the next item. we have come to discover as we density controlled c2. with form base kendz up with heights far exceeding the zoned height limits that is what we

found out in c2 and i naively said of course we want more density in the c2. areas zone 65 feet. i think there is we can -- address this. and i have been discussing that with hill us by directing folks in the same way we have done with adu after the accident and home sf to a san francisco program of that is what the amendments dom the other thing and this has been manage reoccurring theme is we're asked to make the changes in exchange

for informing we have a robust history of getting things like affordability and rent sxroel did that in the foreplex legislation. we did that a long time ago in the adu legislation. we did that in our own local density program. i think that well is an opportunity here to get rent control for density above the base density this . is the thrust of the amendments they are not ready, yet. but deputy city attorney 12th mfbt board arn pierson can atest

they are very close special i appreciate the fact that we have continue third degree but than i will be ready. i'm assured for the next meeting. why sounsd good. >> thank you it is on the agenda we will take public comment. thank you. hearing president supervisor peskin i don't extent there might be amendments we know the brown act we don't get to #these out.

the fact we are not supervisor supervisor peskin in a momented we are not getting back in the initial affordability for the density decontrol per of the justification for this is the analysis of feasibility right now of the projects. it does raise for me the issue to and the amendments we asked for address this.

would not be substantive i can't poke to president supervisor peskin amendments that's my understanding of the ma'am we are proposing. would not require a further continuance. >> thank you. supervisor preston i'm a coexperience of this legislation. i believe in this. you know this is density

dekrellos very specific corridors in areas in the city. from an urban planning perspective. i upon sponsored the family housing. housing for learninger you know families. and you know units a minimum of 2 bedrooms. on commercial clez to transits i would like to see smaller unit this is support single folks or seniors people who need to be on commercial corridors close to public transportation. to me it makes sense from i form perspective i want to make sure it works. and this it is compliant with off the other promises whey to dom if it takes time to get

there i thank you is okay. we are not under like a big dead line. i would like to give us time. to work out the amendments that my colleagues are propose and talk and you know get this right. i would propose we actually you know continue this to the first meet nothing march. is that way we don't stress our city attorneys and have conversations with folks who will get this right with planning department if that's okay? >> so let's take public comment we have to do that. it it is on the agenda. why thank you. if you have public comment on item 5 come forward at this time >> good afternoon. i share the sentiments of supervisor melgar i think this is sound policy. we want to make sure it work and

throughout the city that would benefit as proposed now and more w to do. but there are places that there are opportunity. that this will help open xup get us to the number and we electric at the housing element goal and -- jake said. it is part of our compliance we look forward to doing this we will figure out how this is a part is important. i will keep my ice open when we closer. thank you for your work. >> thank you. do we have anyone else with public comment on item 5. >> okay public comment is closed. i like to make a motion we condition this item until our meeting on march 4. on the motion offered by the chair ordinance continued to march 4 land use transportation committee meeting vice chair

preston. >> aye. >> member supervisor peskin. >> aye. >> chair melgar. >> aye. >> that motion passes. let's mr. clerk go to item 6. >> item 6 an owner amending planning code density limits in c2. affirming the planning ceqa. making public convenience necessity and welfare findings under section 302 and consistency with the general plan in priority policies. >> okay. thank you. mr. clerk. president supervisor peskin. >> thank you for sponsoring this i discuss in the the last item. the well intended changes c2 per of a large are package doing with adaptive reuse of vac an downtown office buildings to

residential included density decontrol for the c2 zoned areas of san francisco for the most part long the northeast water front from the wharf to downtown. on the eastern side of telegraph between embarcadero and samson street it has become clear that the combination of foreign based density with state density bonus has lead to the super charge of heights where we now have 3 projects in depending where you are 65 foot to 84 foot zone districts proposing glass and steel powerhouse over 200 if he felt not when we intended.

and this is designed to reverse asspekts of this there are examples including 1088 samsung a proposal to. build a tower in the city northeast historic district on a contributory category a historic building. and rip this down and build this tower this is not when planning intends said or we intended. and the legislation that is before you was reviewed by the planning commission recommended to the board with amendments that are reflected here. which limit that reinstatementment of density controls to the northeast water front district and the original first designated district from

the 60s jackson square district and adds a little sliver to the jackson square historic district that as long slated for designation the jackson scare historic extension. which are 2 blocks that ajoin the historic district this are all national register eligible category abuildings. that were built between 1865 and the turn of the last century by broadway, samson to the east, kearney to the west. and the jackson square historic to the south. these -- amendments are distributed to or e mailed to you earlier and are pretty straightforward. i want it thank director hillous and the planning commission for their recommendations and deputy

city attorney for her work. >> thank you, president supervisor peskin did anyone from plan having i presentation. no. thank you. supervisor supervisor peskin summarized the commission's recommendations well. to make sure we are clear when they were. when than i heard on january 18th of the year they proposed to limit reinstatement of density krells to demolition and new construction in the northeast water front historic and the jackson scare historic district and allow projects utilize the commercial to residential adaptive reuse program in the northeast water front and the jackson scare historic to utilize form based controls. thank you. so before we go to public comment i have to say that i --

not feeling legislation. president supervisor peskin. i you know we adopted the housing element with a framework. and the planning department want to pains to peek to folks in the community. about the racial justice. and the environmental justice. i understands historic preservation of the water front is important to you this is not an equity community or an environmental justice community. we are setting a dangerous pret dent for other community around the city who are historic orment to be historic to exempt themselves from this state density bonus. and other incentives there are for the develop the of housing

this we have promised. so, i preponder understand what you are trying to do. and i also had a long conversation with the city attorney. and -- you know i'm assure today compliant with hcd. it is philosophically not something i'm feeling now. yes. president supervisor peskin. fimay try to convince you otherwise, this was not implicate in the the housing element at all. this actually is a result of a completely different very specific response to the issues this we were facing downtown. and -- if you look at that legislation this legislation was really about -- incentivizing and stream lining am vacant commercial to residential. this area has never been a

residential area it hen a warehouse and office area. and has almost no residential initial it since inception. and so -- this is -- and it is the combination of density decontrol with state density bonus which is exactly a program this is a program we are face nothing equity jog fees not equity throughout the city but this it is and if it were not for the state over lay and the 8, we could go back to doing our zoning and not worrying about neighborhoods having impact that really is whether 50 story buildings on the great highway or what have you that are virtual tow all of us. this is a no way implicated by the housing element what so ever. >> i realize that. and i remember the legislation

that you coexperienced with mayor breed. i rhode my bike in front of the press conference when you had it. i remember that limp and i i said i had i long conversation with the city attorney this snot in strikz contradiction to the housing element and this legislation predated. i understand this. and as i said i continuing is a philosophical issue i'm having with you know exempting an area, you stated was not residential. to begin watch the adaptive reuse legislation did not allow for the use of the density bonus. you can use the state density bonus now with the legislation or without this legislation. state density bonus can be used you can't sm super charge that is happening because of the density decontrol completely

unintended by us and planning i don't think anybody thought they would see 260 foot towers in 65 foot districts. i argue that relative to our make the rest our changes work these other assurances we want to give people, neighbors and neighborhoodses that -- we are geting right. let's go to public comment >> if you have public comment lineup and come forward when the peeshg ahead of you concluded. >> first speaker, please. >> hi. folks good afternoon i'm stan haze the pedestrian telegraph hill dwellers. more than 500 members we support

the legislation before you. we ask to you recommend the passage to the full board. this legislation mere low restores the previous status quo of c2 zoning.
