controls and this was also approved by the voters in 2007. i could list those specifically. the listed in your report on page 2 if you are interested. i did hear regina go over the conditional use criteria of the planning commission uses to make a determination as to whether or not formula retail would be necessary or desirable for any particular location, so i won't go over those characteristics again. instead, i would like to show you an overview as to where formula retail is currently permitted, not permitted, and conditionally permitted. that's going to be really hard to read. there are two places formula retail is prohibited. that would be north beach and hayes valley. there are a couple of areas

where they are prohibited and one of those would be restaurants in the upper fillmore and the other would be for a pet food supplies store and formula retail restaurants. >> can we get a copy of that? it is a fascinating map and i would like to study more closely. >> yes. it complies with everything on page 2 where list of the districts. i was trying to get a sense of how much of the city was regulated by formula retail. we have places where certain of them are prohibited and everyplace else is marked by a blue with a conditional use authorization is required. mainly it is the commercial district of the city. but for downtown, is intensive commercial districts. the shopping center where formula retail is permitted use. that is an overview of where the

district bar. they're listed on page 2 of the report. one thing i did want to update from the report, i will hand out copies is the status of applications our department reviews. the report you have was of this summer and we have had a few more applications. since the voters passed proposition gee, this is a chart showing conditional use authorizations and the outcome of those applications with our department. this shows permits that were approved. about 65 percent sign were approved. these are the ones we are currently reviewing. these are similar because they may be related results.

this one in red is the disapproved one. they were either disapproved by the planning commission or on appeal by the board of supervisors. if we are reviewing the application that looks like it is not consistent, necessary or desirable with the neighborhood, we will encourage the sponsor to not proceed with their application. when you see the applications that are withdrawn, they may be once headed toward disapproval and we advise them of that and we -- and they withdrew their permit application. it is a lot of maps. >> if you want to look at that geographically, and that's what i just handed out to the supervisors, this is a map of the active, approved, withdrawn or disapproved throughout the city.

i don't know if they can zoom in at all, but i was going to show you -- the green ones are showing you -- that is going to the mission -- that's very good. don't worry. that's an example. members of the public can get a copy afterwards. this is showing areas in the mission. looks consistent with what i showed up with about 75% approved. the northeast part of the city, district 3, -- supervisor cohen: there is nothing in district 10, nothing approved or disapproved or withdrawn. >> we need to do better recruitment of you what formula retail in your district. >> there is for real retail

there. >> prior to 2007, when proposition g was passed, it only required neighborhood approval. i have a more full list of -- that includes some included with neighborhood notification. they were either permitted prior to that or there is a mistake in the map or they were permitted prior to when the conditional use authorization was required in 2007. those could be permitted and approved from 2006, but it would be quite a while for it to be just not showing up. i could look into it if you like me to research it. >> that is not in a neighborhood commercial district. they are in an industrial district, they are not subject

to formula retail controls. it would have to be in one of those areas where we do regulated as formula retail, otherwise it is under whatever requirements we have for that type of retail category. supervisor wiener: in that castro, the planning commission did it reject one for walgreen's and an additional space on 18th street and chase at 18th and castro was rejected because banks are included. >> there are some cats with this matter. this shows walgreen's that was a an expansion, so we have one criteria that was disapproved earlier and they came back with a subsequent application that was approved.

there are a lot of cats with that. another is the way we do data is -- i did not go back and personally review the applications, so this is subject to planners properly categorizing that this fell under the formula retail controls section. if they categorize that when they did that and take, that is what is showing up here. there may be some that have not been recorded >> thank you for the hard work on these maps. >> i should have given it up front. supervisor mar: even the map with the different types of small businesses with computer electronics, hardware to clothing to pet food or pet supply stores -- the map is a very useful. >> maybe i will show that one to

the public. i did provide information to the supervisors said they could look at the overall types of applications we have before us. >> within these categories, the supervisors have idea of how many restaurants verses computer and electronics stores. this is somewhat arbitrary. i made at the groupings and so i put cell phone stores under electronics and computers. it is an estimate and i put the business as same thing. that is our current assessment. 75% or so far proved of all the applications filed. the rest either withdrawn or disapproved or still pending

hearing at the planning commission. so there are some issues that have been coming up and that's why we had a hearing this summer at the planning commission. there are some hot topics around the formula retail issues. in particular, there have been requests that the law should be amended so banks would be included in the definition of formal retail. this has been a request by certain members of the planning commission as well as members of the board of supervisors. as regina explained, both members of the planning commission and small-business commission have been studying this issue and will be collaborating on it in the future. on the topic of why banks are or are not included in for retail, i can go into that in more detail. i would suggest this is something ripe for revisiting this is there is a much discontent with the way it is

being implemented. the laws governing formula retail have been consistently applied by our department for the last seven years. this is the way we have been doing it since the beginning. during that time, history in this report, the law has changed, so it is possible to update the law through a consider process of public hearings, even though was established by voters initiative, those parts established by initiatives cannot be changed, the law cannot be weakened, but it can be strengthened. thatt ve or 10 years. supervisor mar: i mentioned earlier, the q4 crossing the bay. hal-- thank you for crossing the bay.

it is important in the board talks about the kind of development. that you include a question on the impact of workers. very little did we say what happens. i will give you the data in terms of the impact on walmart. inthithere is a lot of data ande found that walmart paid 14.5 cents less. we found that there were [unintelligible] around 60% less. we looked at a job based health care coverage. 5% of -- fewer had health care

compared to retailers. we looked at the average wage there were paying. that would have been at 2005 levels. 8% of the federal poverty line for a family of four working at a typical wal-mart hours. we saw that when walmart enters the county, you lose 150 workers on average. for every job they create you'll lose 1.4 jobs. in terms of what trying to impact on how they treat their workers, we ran a simulation. the question of what would happen if you have them pay $12 an hour. we found that it would increase the overall cost of wal-mart. a $3.2 billion. that could increase the wages and survive on 1.1%. >> you look at a number of other

cities in regional areas. have there been any changes -- my guess is you are suggesting we increase labor standards in big bucks or formula retail stores. have there been impacts in other areas where other jurisdictions have done that? >> we have not found that. oftentimes people say if you increase wages, assume it is a one-for-one trade off. the fact is if you examine the work force they are below the poverty wages. the way increase goes as a proportion well the impact of price increases spread out over the population themselves. supervisor mar: thank you. i now have a number of cards.

hough people can come forward. you do not have to speak in that order. >> i am stephen cornell. our store has been there since 1905. one of the things that the other speaker spoke about and i would like to elaborate, we never had legislation that made us do anything. and in district 5. we have been around long time.

we do not need laws to do that. the investment in having good businesses that will be around a long time is good for the committee. you're talking about the formula retail. i went through a hearing for formula retail. one of the things that bothered me was pulled straight where this hearing was, the planning department instead of using the entire district which is 14 blocks long, they used six walks. it was convenient to say we had some any formula retail in six

blocks. in this case a paint store. it was used for the convenience of getting this business in. if there is where to be a long [no audio] fully applied. one of the things is to look broader. use polk street and is not part of our district. there is a million for miller wait till there. the q4 time. braxton afternoon. -- good afternoon. just to speak in favor of of with the results of this hearing. the very first big issue that our city worked on was the

chain's store ordinance. and the follow-up. it is crucial. i want to highlight something that was touched on in the presentations and make it bigger. every one of those green check boxes you saw of a big box or a chain store that has its headquarters outside of the city, 40% or more of that money goes out of the city and is not combat. 40% is huge. it is penny wise and pound foolish to open a store to get tax revenue and hire workers that are at low wages. at the same time you are

throwing at 40% of revenues of those businesses that would stay here in the city if they were local businesses instead. finally i would like to point out that -- you have seen me on any -- many occasions fight a big box or a chain store. there are a lot more of them that i would have helped fight. some of which got through. had i been able to i would have gotten involved in. what that points to is that they're under strain. cannot fight every single little fight. we need a broader, stock ordinance to cover all the bases including the banks. occupy issuing weekend
