that is why we felt it was important that we also make lee land avenue and vis valley a place people would want to come to and >> i don't want this to be teh poohe poor stepchild. if we had a continuance, we are supportive. and if you move forward we would not be able to take a formal action. i think we expressed our concerns and would like to see this as part of the package coming forward. >> we have made recommendations and we will look at those. we will consider those recommendations. we would consider those. >> thank you, supervisor. >> commissioner moore?

commissioner moore: our concerns for all of the neighborhoods are equal. we don't feel that the information that we need is in front of us. i would say that bayview- hunter's point requies us to be vigilant. every step we take still leaves room for those waiting for 30 years to get what you are describing. >> bayview-hunter's point is a redevelopment area. there are changes being made as we speak. the different avenues and so,

this is not just about this -- we still see this going on along third street. this is being used to enhance the different shopping areas, and we have jamestown. the new development, and new money is coming in all the time. >> this is a large change in bayview-hunter's point. this will elude the community. but this is not to say that we will carefully track the legislation, and we will see this in time. >> this is what i am trying to

suggest to you. right now this is not about this project. this is about all the projects along third street, and the other things that are happening as we speak. there is a new library going in right now. there are things that are happening now. things are happening here all the time. and they're not waiting to hear this project. they do not need the funding. these are some of the things that are happening. >> commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: we are going about adjusting all of these boundaries, and if that is what the commission is trying to look at with a greater picture, but also suggests that some time, in the future, this is

expanded within the community benefits package, the sources of funding have to be looked at. and this applies to the other parts that are currently under a different kind of program. and they will also have to be adjusted. and this should include everything else that is there. >> commissioner? commissioner olague: i just want to thank you for your service and that sort of thing. this is a difficult subject, as you know. >> and i want to thank all of you. i want to thank all of you so much for what you do for the city. bayview-hunter's point has been

my passion and i would not try to leave something like that behind. if you had 10 children, everyone turns their shoes over. and everyone knows that he is on hold. and we say, give them to joshua. there is not a lot of money to go around. we have to think about what people need. if they need the new library, and they need certain things on the avenue. and this is what we were trying to do. this is what we were looking at. we're not try to take anything away from anybody else. >> thank you. >> i would like to offer my thanks to supervisor maxwell. i am very impressed with what is

happening along third street. and we're not just talking about the project, but the things that have happened already, and the way that things are moving forward, with new things that have happened. the idea that this is continuing, we are wanting to move forward with this. and i think that i agree with commissioner sugaya. we have all these concerns about the boundaries, but with this legislation right now, certainly, in terms of funding we have to make certain about these questions that have to be answered down the road, somewhere. thank you. >> commissioner? there is a motion on the floor to continue. this is for the continuance of this item until february 3, when the recommendation that the

supervisors continued to work with all people in the area. and on that motion? commissioner anthony? >> aye. >> olague? >> miguel? >> sugaya and miguel vote against. it passes. thank you, commissioners. >> you are on item 8. >> we would like to thank you for your time. >> ok, item 8 is -- academy of art university

enforcement program update. informational presentation and discussion on the academy of art university housing practices and progress on the enforcement program. -- academy of art university enforcement program update. >> in our last update, we expressed an interest in the residential properties of the academy of art. i am wanting to give you an overview of the residential properties that are owned by the academy of art university. in addition to the information needed to return to you with, there is also a question for the academy of our university. this attachment is in the packet. the first few packages -- the first few pages have information that was previously submitted in

march, when we suggested much information before it could start this process. in 1929, -- ever since 1989 -- ever since 1929, we have grown to include 17 residential properties. if you look at the first page, the properties are listed. these are listed on the page, 1055 park, 1153 bush, lombard, jackson, 1916 -- octavia. 680 sutter, 736 jones, 860 sutter, 2209 daniette. -- van ness. two properties are leased by the academy, harrison and --

the rest were -- acquired in the 1990's. the last was 1727 lombard in 2007. you will find a table submitted by the academy of art. this is a table that lists the enrollment. what i have done is i was taking a look at the enrollment from fall 2010, 17,711 students. of those students, 1100 of them are there, and 3000 are hybrid students, which also take on site glasses. -- classes.

others are on line only. this is almost double the 2005 enrollment of 8515 students. the 2005 enrollment is contrast with the 11,182 students in 2010 is more than double. 112%. the enrollment of 2010 represents an increase of 12.15%. and if you look at the enrollment table, you can see that there are modest increases in the enrollment until about 1990, and from 1990 until the year 2000, this tripled. and in 2004 there was a change in the enrollment, because we

were offering class online. in 2010, there was a very rapid increase. the reason i bring this up is because as the increase takes place over the last few years, this has been a factor for us to take a look at and choose the demand for residential properties. the academy of art presented the listings of the total capacity. there is the capacity of 1084. the number is rather fluid, because in the information that we have, they will change lounges, the faculty housing, and they may return them to residential usage which soon may

also do from time to time. and they may turn some of these into this but this is based on demand. this is implied from the previous information that you have. this is a little bit different. none of these figures are going to match up. this is the latest information. this is different from the information that was submitted in march 2010. the academy of art has the housing in the third party. campus living villages, this is a management company. this specializes in residential properties on campus. they happen to offer full-time students -- nine units with a

grad students, and they offer the housing to these full-time students. they provide housing to 1638 students, which is about 9.5% of the total enrollment. and this is about 15% of the hybrid students. i have been told by professionals, that this is quite a bit lower than most universities. most post-secondary schools offer this housing and this is the demand, anyway. however, the academy of our university housing director -- academy of art university housing director said that they were able to offer campus housing to all the full-time students who were requesting this, with 21 students moving

into housing that was in local hotels and motels. as those students drop out, the students are moved into the normal campus housing. this ranges from 3600 per semester, to a dorm room -- with $7,000 for the student apartments -- studio apartments. there are others still living in these buildings with 19 tenants in six of the buildings. the academy of our university has said that they have not given evictions to any of the previous tenants of these buildings. for the enrollment, and from the information that we have on the academy of art, we find that the online enrollment is

significantly increasing. leon my enrollment in 2010 grew 36%. and although this does reduce the need for the housing, for student housing, if this enrollment continues, there will be an increased demand on the housing. it is clear that the academy of our university needs to have more student housing. our conversations the director and her testimony in january before the economic development community -- committee shows that they have been treating this as rent control. but the students in the anniversary are not advised if a student housing -- if student housing is subject to rent

control. and there is no legal obligation to disclose this. last month, the planning commission reviewed an ordinance hit something student housing from the inclusion in housing requirement, and is contained several modifications that would convert these residential properties to student housing. but not all of these were incorporated into the final legislation. we will have to return to you after the first of the year for the amendments in the planning code to select some of the problems -- to fix some of the problems we have had in the past. we will need to explore and review as well if the commission with light, for further regulation. changes to chapter 41 to prohibit conversion of residential hotels, to student

housing. at this time, this is allowed if this is returned to another residential use suggested housing. and this can also be amended or other usage, for the conditional use authorization. we'll be coming back to you at the first of the year, for these amendments. in terms of the process with the general employment, we finished the inspections of all 36 properties at the end of july. what we found is that in many of these buildings, they had safety violations. and at this time, we have been working with the representative from the academy of art.

about 180 permits have been filed, to correct these violations that were included with these issues, the need for sprinklers and fire alarms. and many other improvements to the disabilities, and we are in the process of reviewing and additional two dozen of these. there is still work that needs to be done, and there are also more permits that are being prepared by the university architect. and much of the word has been scheduled during the winter break, as well as in the summer break as well. there are some safety problems that still remain. and since we have received most of this information from the academy of art, the

environmental review has been accomplished. the notice of preparation, this was september 29. the planning department also held a scoping meeting, and if you have further questions on that -- in terms of silage, the planning department has been working with the academy of art, and we have a survey where we have worked with the signs that can never be approved, so that these are in compliance and they will not come back. we're working to remove further signs. and we have not yet received the institutional master plan. the zoning administrator has reported on these decisions, at the board of appeals last night, and this is for 60,000,

to uphold the violation. i am prepared to answer any questions you may have. thank you. >> we have a number of speaker cards. sarah, gale roberts, fransisco de costa, -- >> good afternoon. i am gale roberts. i am a representative of the lgbt center. this is one of of our strongest supporters, and a financial investor in the organization. we have volunteer arrangements with the students and many of the committee members attend the school.

we provide services to some of the most abominable individuals in the community, and this is providing job opportunities, for the unemployed adults in this community. the volunteer programs we are involved in include graduate students, to rebuild the website, and some of the may have heard about the unfortunate suicides that warhol and taking place this fall. ad hoc how others have responded to this, how about helping the youth with these responses that are going on. hamas tempore only, many of the committee members are going to school there. a trans gentleman from florida -- she traveled to san francisco to make a better world for herself. she was unable to find

employment that she was able to return to school on scholarship at the academy of arts. when i came here 10 years ago i went to the art school. there are a lot of creative people in lgbt community. this is one reason they sponsor my organization. we're very grateful for the support that the academy has given us. thank you so very much. >> i am francisco de costa. this is the 30th time i have spoken about this issue. what i would like to bring to your attention, the issue is

very simple. this university deprived people of san francisco of rental units. i believe that they have. the only way to address this is for the planning department and the zoning administrator, and the department of building inspection to address these issues and have mandatory regulations to take back the adverse impact. we all know that san francisco, this is difficult to get rental units.

i will not go into this deeply but i can if you give me a couple of hours. we gave housing to the students but we did not change the way of the buildings. if you go through this building, that the planning department was saying to you, they have changed the inside of the building. they have broken the law. and the planning department and the department of building inspection, they knew nothing about this. the commissioners know, for example, that i testified and

others testified. we have to have standards. this university, from the many people i have spoken, the convoluted way to acquire certain buildings, so that they will be able to profit. to make a billion dollars and give this for charity, we know nothing about this. this is not the issue. this university, with intent, using convolute ways, defies the people of san francisco from rental units. now, commissioners, we have some

people on board that i hope will do the right thing. to address these issues. this money has to be used for the rental units. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. i am a graduate student at the university. i also worked as a graduate assistant at one of the residence halls. being a student staff member and living in campus housing has benefited my career and my success as a student. this has given me a safe and successful environment, and the facilities are well maintained. and as a graduate student, i

have had previous experience of being a freshman in college and being away from home for the first time. having the campus housing provided is important for the first time college student and any student at the academy of art. thank you. randall, linda chapman, -- >> good afternoon. i am brenda keaton-randall, the coordinator of k-12 operations at costa school district in richmond, california. we cover san pablo, hercules, and richmond. my intention is to give you a

picture of the impact that the academy has had in this district. last year and the year before, many students receive scholarships, and the students went, i believe six weeks with 95% attendance rates. this is 20 miles to san francisco. and 20 miles back every day. and using these cards -- this was 95%. they took everything from home video games, to the computer games,
