president chiu: motion passes. if we could go back to our 3:00 special order regarding the ocean avenue benefits district. i understand that we do have complete tabulations and i'd like to ask the clerk to announce the results. madam clerk: yes, mr. president. the returned weighted ballots voting for the ocean avenue bid was 54.83% and the returned weighted ballots voting against the ocean avenue bid was 35.17% indicating there was no majority protest. president chiu: at this time, there's not been a majority protest and thus at this time i would ask, unless there are further comments for a vote on the resolution. supervisor avalos, do you have comments you would like to make? supervisor avalos: i would just -- thank you, president chiu. i am trying to get a breakdown

of the property owners who were supportive, what percentage were city property owners, was the city, or a public entity such as city college, and what were private property owners. i think, for me to be consistent with what i've been saying about the civic center crnd, i need to have a clear understanding of that. i have done with my calculator here, a calculation that didn't add up to what the city had calculated, department of elections calculated for the majority percentage of support, but i have 20% of the -- 20% of the property ownership that in the entire c.b.d. is supportive and is a city entity or a city college and 19.15% of the c.b.d.

parcels are in favor and are non-city property. so, it's -- you ow, it shows that the city has had a very large part in assuring that there's a successful vote here, which i'm trying to mull over how much i want to support that or not. i haven't supported the c.b.d., but i'm concerned about the threshold we have here and i'd like to get an official report from the city about what they got calculated in terms of the city part of the ownership of the parcels that were favorable. president chiu: if i could ask, i know ms. pagon from the mayor's office on economic and work force development who has been helping to manage this process this year, do you have an answer for supervisor avalos? >> the parcels owned by the city of san francisco represent

11.80% and that includes the feelin loop parcel as well as the library and a median -- a hard scape median. president chiu: supervisor? supervisor avalos: i added up all the percentages of the city properties that are in favor, that are all in favor, of course, because we asked the city properties to vote in favor of the c.b.d. i got 20.69%. could be an" error in there, i don't think so. and i added up all the private property owners that are supportive and they are 19% of the total area of the crnd, all together, that's 40% of the c.b.d.

i'm concerned about the predominance of the city property as part of it, although this has been a very, very difficult process to get support for the c.b.d. with the local economy. i think it's been difficult to convince people to be supportive because many of them are struggling businesses, many are them are actually doing okay, too, that are managing to get by, wouldn't say okay, but are managing to get by despite the economy and have been opposed. i do want to support this moving forward. i do believe that once we see what the benefits of the community benefits district are going to be, it will be something many will consider worthwhile to continue and so i want to urge colleagues to support this effort. thank you. president chiu: with that, unless there's any -- supervisor elsbernd? supervisor elsbernd: thank you, mr. president. i am really, really sorry, but i'm not going to be able to support this. i wanted to support this.

i came in wanting to support it. i've admired supervisor avalos' work on this, i've admired the community's work. i had every intention of coming in here to support this, but then these numbers came down and, i'm sorry, but if you take the city property owners out and let's not talk about the weighted just yet, but there are 150 parcels on ocean avenue. if you take the public properties out, only 12 property owners voted yes on this. 66 property owners voted no and the rest didn't vote and i really have a tough time saying 12 property owners get to tell 150 property owners, your property tax is going up. i just -- i wanted to be there really bad because i really admire supervisor avalos' commitment to ocean avenue. it's an area that needs this support, but i just don't think these numbers are fair, and i think longer term, we need to do

more. all this work, but only 12 private property owners said yes. it's not a sufficient threshold for me. president chiu: colleagues, further discussion? supervisor avalos. supervisor avalos: certainly the numbers, in terms of the number of people who voted against this c.b.d. are greater than the number who supported it but the actual weighted value of those is really tine. tiny. some of the people who are opposed to it have an additional assessment of like $140. that's typically what the number is, it's very small for a good part of the people who rejected it. so, to me, while you have people who are a part of a property, or a small part of a property they own, voting against it, i don't think should spell the end of the community benefits district. i do believe we'll see real positive benefits out of it and urge my colleagues to support.

president chiu: colleagues, if we can take a roll call vote on item 44, whether the resolution to establish the ocean avenue c.b.d. should be deamented. madam clerk: supervisor alioto-pier, alioto-pier no. supervisor avalos. avalos, aye. supervisor campos, campos aye. president chiu, chiu aye. supervisor chu, chu no. supervisor daly, daly aye. supervisor dufty, dufty aye. supervisor elsbernd, elsbernd no. supervisor mar, mar aye, maxwell aye, supervisor mirkarimi, mirkarimi aye. there are eight aye's and three nos. president chiu: the resolution is adopted. if we can now go back -- actually, i'm sorry, we have a couple of more 3:00 special orders. items 45 and 46.

madam clerk: items 45 and 46 are the board of supervisors sitting as a whole -- objecting to the proposed resolution approving the redevelopment agency's lease of land commonly known as 701 golden gate avenue to mary helen rogers senior community for the purpose of developing housing for very low-income senior households. president chiu: we have a proposal to consider redevelopment regarding the mary helen redevelopment. do we have initial comments from the redevelopment staff? >>ed good afternoon, supervisors, president chiu and members of the board. the item before you is the disposition of by lease of agency land applied with tax increment funds. under state law, the agency comes before the board of supervisors to get approval for

dispositions of property applied applied -- acquired with tax income and funds. this is this part of the properties acquired from the agency by the city that were basically the parcels underneath the central freeway. the agency has disposed of parcel a, which is at golf and turk, and it's a completed afordible senior housing project. we disposed of parcel g at fulton adjacent to the performing arts garage and that is in the process of being constructed to house formerly chronically homeless individuals. parcel q, at octavia, is just in the process of being completed and that will house persons who are developmentally disabled. in this particular transaction, the agency is leasing to a limited partnership that is managed by both china town

community development center and johnson interests for the purpose of obtaining tax credit investment, an equity investment to build 100 units of very low-income senior rental housing in a development named after a long-time western addition activist, mary helen rogers, called mary helen rogers senior community. we will lease the land for 70 years and will be providing a minimum -- requiring a minimum payment of $15,000 and the balance of the annual lease being subject to the availability of cash from that particular development. in addition to the lease, the agency is providing a subordinate loan of approximately $15.5 million to ensure that the building can be constructed. and the agency commission recommends the board's approval. thank you.

president chiu: colleagues, any questions to redevelopment staff? supervisor? >> i just want to add some comments. this building is technically in district 6, daly's district. mary helen rogers happens to be an icon well known to many of us throughout the city but formerly a resident of district five in the fillmore in the western addition and this building is aptly, i think, should be named after her. her legacy is well known and well felt throughout the western addition in the city but in particular in areas that have been confronted and challenged by policies of redevelopment in urban renewal. she stood up and she stood out where others did not. she was really able to galvanize

where others couldn't. so i think this building, rightfully so, recognizes, in part, some of that legacy, and i know her family would be proud. president chiu: supervisor maxwell? supervisor maxwell: with that, she also made huge changes in redevelopment, huge changes that, in my community when we had a redevelopment project area committee, it made a huge difference because of some of the things and policies that mary rogers and a lot of the people that work with her put in place so i think it's very appropriate that a building like this be named after her. thank you. president chiu: any further questions to redevelopment staff? let me get a show of hands of how many folks are here to comment on this item. okay. if we could hear public comment, two minutes per speaker.

mr. washington? >> [speaking foreign language]

itself. let that be perfectly clear. i don't want any misunderstandings to get back to the rogers family or anybody. i'm protesting the elephant in the room, which is the redevelopment agency. first of all, here in your documents, you don't know if it's in the western addition or if it's in the daly's district. let's get that straight. the other thing is, the money that is going there, let it go, but the developer, which one of the developers, johnson, m. johnson, has two other developments in our community. one of them happens to be on fillmore, which happens to be part of the restaurant deal

>> denny thing. -- it feels not going to be in a pretty picture. i have been arrested, but i told redevelopment i was coming today to say i support the money for mary rodgers building. i was with her in her last three years of living, but to do something out of compliance when we do not have no way of doing something, but when the police come and out three and us -- apprehend us, in our community, there is a free and to teach -- it ain't no mystery to check your history ♪

[calling votes] supervisor daly: no. >> there are 10 ayes, one no.

>> item 55. >> item 55 through 57 were considered by the land use economic development committee and were forwarded to the board as committee reports. item 55 was recommended by the board, an ordinance to establish new requirements for personal wireless permits, to increase certain fees, amending the administrative code and making provisions of the ordinance retroactive. supervisor avalos: thank you. i live in a district that has very little underground utility poles, and what happens is they are a prime location for wireless technology for cellphone to go up all across the city.

what happens is there is no aesthetic standard put in place for these facilities when they are put up on a pole. over night, residents can come home at night, and they will see a huge box sticking out of a utility pole in front of their window. there are many places in my district where that has happened. between lisbon and paris. there is a part of the sidewalk where you have to walk between the utility pole and the bay window. this is happening all over the city, and we can do better to make sure we have standards about creating value through our utility poles for the city and county of san francisco. th
