provide service in the programs. not just for the people living in affordable housing. so that we do not have a community center segregated by income. we will try to make that street a street for everybody. supervisor wiener: the question was raised, and i felt like we had not gotten a real answer on that. >> commissioners, my name is henry alvarez. we have no intention of changing the features or the substation requirements. now, or in the foreseeable future. if at some point in the course of redevelopment, the community decides that there is no need for it, we will not have one. i do not want to get into the specifics. we have no desire to change. supervisor wiener: do you know

why it is going away, if it is going away? >> i have no idea. the station that is there now, there is no plan to remove it for the foreseeable future. when the project needs to be built, if there is a need over conversation, over time, if there is a need for it, we will look at continuing to provide that service. supervisor wiener: please do not speak from the audience. you have had your chance to speak. thank you for the clarification. supervisor cohen: >if it were going to continue to be on site, the board would be in the community center? and there is no set program.

if there were going to be a substation, that is where it would be located. we do not have a specific plan. supervisor wiener: are repositioning these projects in mixed income scenarios? in most of these, there has not been a need for communities on site. the surrounding strategies that support part of this will be connecting them into the mainstream community and there likely will not be a need for it. but if there is, the housing authority is paired and willing to continue that conversation. >>supervisor wiener: are you saying it is there until there

is a plan to remove it? >> exactly. you said a better than i could have said it. supervisor mar: did you have other comments? supervisor cohen: i just want to say hello and thank you for coming out and encourage everyone to be vigilant about what is going on. talk to your neighbor. this is a community building exercise. things are not set in stone. dynamic in a sense that things that are proposed can be taken out. there is some flexibility before myself and my colleagues start to vote on this particular project. don't be discouraged and be prepared for the long haul. this is going to be a long process. supervisor mar: i was going to

think the project's community engagement project for a beautiful vision. i hope the whole community is involved in the process. it sounds like the process has been a very deep one but more work needs to be done as well. we are going to continue this item to the call of the chair without objection. could you please call the next item? >> ordnance amending the codes to provide a contribution option for the establishment of a public art trust fund. supervisor mar: if i could ask people to please leave the room quietly if you can. thank you.

i would like to ask people if you could take the conversations outside the committee room please thank you.

we are going to resume at that meeting. you have already called item #4. we're going to resume with item #4. the item has been called, so let me introduce the supervisor and our president, david chiu. could we please reconvene? thank you. we are resuming. thank you.

>> if you remember, this is a piece of legislation to provide more flexibility to our city currently uses the 1% public arts the. there was only one outstanding issue the last time we met and that had to do with an amendment i have just offered that is supported by the mayor. just to remind you, the city currently requires developments over 2500 square feet. as this piece of legislation moves through the process, the planning commission an arts commission wanted to expand this citywide. the legislation expands requirements to all projects city-wide. since the last time the

legislation was in front of you, the mayor's staff and i have convened several stake holders to talk about how this should be expanded. a good approach to move this forward, and it is embodied on this paper. i will give you a second to get to it. we heard a lot of feedback that adding additional costs to residential projects might be challenging right now given many of our focus is on affordable housing and increasing opportunities for housing. part of the amendment i am offering would limit the expansion to only commercial projects. we're taking our residential projects out and dropping the threshold in line to the rest of it. instead of expanding the requirement city-wide, we would

propose it be limited to the zoning district in the south of market and southern downtown areas because we anticipate this level of development is going to be located in those neighborhoods. there are a number of zoning districts this would be applied to delineated in the amendment that you see. we are proposing to amend the legislation to at specificity to the grandfathering provision so that we do not certain projects that have already gone far and pipeline. right now, projects that have submitted a complete agreement on or after january 1, 2013, and we would like to propose language that says a development application shall meet any application for a building permit, permit or preliminary assessments of the conditional use or variants. there is one additional technical amendment.

because the arts commission would have no role in the selection of review of on site art, with that, i want to thank the mayor's staff and stakeholders who worked with us on this. this will allow us to expand at this requirement to the areas where we expect more development and focus on commercial buildings as opposed to residential buildings in the areas we are talking about. i would like to ask the committee to adopt this and hopefully move it forward. >> my understanding is these would be substantive amendments and the item would be to be continued. let's open this up for public comment. is there anyone from the public who would like to speak? we have one card and if there is anyone else who like to speak,

please come forward. >> i am with the universal paragon corp., the developer of the project. we are very happy to hear about the amendments that have been proposed today. the fee would have added additional financial burden on a project that is no longer having access to the redevelopment funds which were eliminated earlier this month. we support the amendment and look forward to working with the city on funds for the project and letting the public benefit with this project to be earlier -- to be realized earlier rather than later. supervisor mar: next speaker.

>> which districts are you planning to expand to? >> south of market. it just commercial, 25,000 square feet. >> district 10 would not be included? >> district 10 would not be included. supervisor mar: is there anyone else who would like to speak? seeing none , public comments is closed. the reason not to focus on strategic areas is to say the development will not be happening in those areas but it would be included if it was a citywide? >> it would have been included under the current language, though we did have a lot of discussion about large significant development project and what we what -- whether we

ought to include this project. it is my hope that we do. i have heard of feedback that people hope the project did include a requirement but the thought was if we were to saddle that with a 1% project, that would be a challenge. there has been a discussion that we should consider the arts as something that is part of that. for those types of projects, we should consider some sort of investment in the arts, particularly around community spaces, but that is not something i am proposing at this time. supervisor cohen: just for those

members of the public to are watching, if you could explain our characterize their reasoning why you are narrowing this? >> i would have been fined to take the requirement and apply it city-wide, but we heard from many folks that it would create additional challenges to finding financing to actually move for on those projects around the city. what we wanted to do was expand their requirement to those parts of the city where we would see significant development and there's a pipeline of large projects this would cover. this requirement would lead to additional art being part of future development projects, but because folks were concerned that it at -- that adding this

additional 1% would this and sent housing projects, we did not want to add to that as we are going through an affordable housing trust fund conversation about what we can ask developers to pay for. rather than complicate that discussion, we figure let's move forward with the consensus on where we can expand. as part of the affordable housing conversation we're going to have that will hopefully culminate in a measure to be placed on the november ballot, additional finance measures, we will probably end up thinking about this again. but i hear from you that you would like to expand this city- wide? supervisor cohen: yes. >> so do i., but i'm not sure the mayor agreed. supervisor cohen: 10 week table this? -- can we table was?

>> i recommend we include the -- we cannot consider this next week. >> the amendments from our initial look at the pipeline, we believe it would capture more projects even though it is in your district. even though it was at 75,000 feet and the supervisor is proposing to make it 25,000 square feet, even though it is and fewer districts, the lower square footage would capture more of the pipeline projects. >> the other thing to be aware of this deal legislation was focused on the downtown area. because the downtown area has expanded southward, we thought it was appropriate to expand that area because there will be a lot of large and significant

buildings in that area and we thought it was appropriate to have the 1% arts requirement. this is a commercial development we do not see in most parts of the city. i do know that was creating are burned in other parts of the city. >> this item before us, we are going to continue it for one week? >> we are going to amend it and continue it. i came to ask if the committee thought it made sense for us to amend the legislation and have an front of you and move it out for consideration and a final vote.

supervisor mar: on the amendments come you could make changes to them and. you could have it city-wide and it would be a vote for the three of us. i feel like it should be citywide. what miss rogers is saying about the existing projects and reducing the square footage, it helps a certain part of the city, but we want to see more public art throughout the city. i would join supervisor cohen in that sentiment. supervisor wiener: we could divide the file and that might make it cents and continue both items, be amended version and the are original and you could

talk to the mayor's office or anyone else in the interim. >> i am fine with that approach. i hope there is one version that includes this amendment. supervisor cohen: i'm not interested in duplicating the file, rather just hold off for one more week, including the amendments are proposed today. i just wanted to have the opportunity to talk to more people. i would like to make a motion we continue this item. >> we could add the amendment and then the continue it. supervisor mar: we have a motion and without objection? is there any other business before us? >> you need to continue the matter as amended to march 5. >> continue as amended for one week. any other business?

>> the meeting is adjourned.
