is what we would like to have built however we are going allow this certain amount to be constructed. and using that credit that was proposed to be built. there are controls in the planning code right now that help channel i was that and that was on the slide. the areas are where the planning codes controls favor tdr transfers if you will. every district permits the transfer of tdr within that district. in addition to that, there are transfers incentivised to other districts. the red area is mostly the sd for special development districts where

it's channeled. and by way of evidencing the very complex behind that, about a year ago to show you the chart perhaps to give you the insight as to complexity of this on the right hand corner of the screen you can see the series of lines. this deals with from the district that tdr's can get -- generate and that's where the downtown plan development should go. >> until that area is selected is that because of the district plan or the transbay terminal. it looks like it's howard to folsom? >> it looks like it's howard street is where you focus the

development to happen. >> for the most part, it's the general area. forgive me, i'm not qualified to speak. it's part of the 1982 work. this effort predates the thinking that we have gone through in the last couple of years on that and maybe 1 kind of phenol thought to wrap up the summary if we can get the overhead again for just a second and forgive me for skipping around. i do not want to waste your time. when the tdr program was first put into law in the mid 80s it has about 24,000 square foot, all of those lots, developers have come in and required those tdr's and today we are down to half of that. there are still tdr's out there

but the fluidity in the market really has begun to dry up. this legislation would help free that up and help to allow that red area in the market to be directed more equitably. >> there are some challenges for those that want to develop their area plans that have been unable to because there is a grid lock. that's what i read, right? m materials of what was allowable to their area plan. that's something that you have been hearing. how do you track that. i'm curious about the need? >> of course, there are questions are on point. we

track every tdr transition -- transaction in the city or everything in between. the both first person and secondary transfers between intermediate portions of tdr we make a record of it. first of all what was the result of that market constrain and the economy. the difficult task. it does come to a bit of anecdotal finding. what we are being told from the development community, what we are hearing from the preservation communities and those that have td r are less able to control in the marketplace. some of our older buildings downtown and our

experiences and findings what we have been told is getting consensus to the families is an impediment for the tdr market. >> if the challenge has been more the ownership as maybe their inability for the trust to come into agreement or the property owner may not have the capacity in order to engage in this type of transaction, then this change in legislation which would allow tdr's to transfer freely wouldn't necessarily help those owners that are having these challenges. it's not going help family trust come to a unanimous decision. this doesn't address that issue. >> know. it wouldn't address that issue but we think what would come into the equation is help ungum, the properties that do mr. president to be tdr and

couldn't participate and for the south of market. >> do you have a sense of where these tdr's are stuck in their area plan? >> would they be able to sell >> we can show you a map that list all the properties that are able to participate in the market but haven't yet come to be certified. this is based on the assumptions that we have made and a very slow computer. forgive me. >> okay. the map on your screen now shows buildings in the cr

that are certified to participate. the darker green colors with the higher amount of tdr, the lighter green with the lesser amount. i should say the properties in the far left hand side of the screen, the civic center on public buildings should be taken with a grain of salt. they would have to be a legislative under taken here. some of them certainly not all of them but we believe there is potential there. >> okay. i want to acknowledge the work that president chiu has been done on this. i think it would have been helpful to get that information. this isn't going to be forwarded as a committee record, is it? i have a lot of questions and i think i want to under this legislation. i think my main concern is the, it's preventing the concentration of

development in the areament i want to ensure this is not going to impact that, the equitable development . we want to make sure that is allocated evenly as possible. this is not in one part of the city and not another and the infrastructure to be able to absorb that density. thank you. >> did you have anything else? >> i want to mention that i have a number of clean up amendments if i can quickly go through them on page 4, line 16, the phrase historic preservation, page 26, 11-16.

lines 20-21, page 19, adding the word historic preservation. i ask that it be included at this time. but at the moment we can go to public comment. >> is there any member of the public who would like to make a public comment. come forward. >> do we have 3. why don't we do 3 minutes for public comment. >> [singing] you have transfer

personality. [singing]. >> thank you very much. >> good afternoon supervisors, executive director of livable city. we did work on this ordinance and we are here to encourage to you support it. we think the tdr scheme has been effective especially with the ordinance changes of last year. in terms of challenge money and in essence taking money from businesses downtown and channeling that money back to history buildings in the city that has some real challenges

in their rehabilitation. we are hoping that this particular piece will do two things, one is like mid market where there is a lot of resources but they are going unrented. if you walk down our strip of market street where offices are you see a lot of buildings where they have not be rehabd and unoccupied right now. for example the trans-bay area which was recently -- as you saw a lot of the areas of the c 3, may -- may i mason street and many buildings will also benefit. the other thing this will do is for the first time in the history of this development is great transparency, where it

was never totally transparent. that has allowed a few things to happen. a few brokers who were able to corner this market and where they are able to charge large fees and people who owned historic buildings and the brokers would take this flesh. we think this will help to correct that and also the transparent -- that we create. the transbay that did support did make changes about what districts can contribute. i think it's up to larger streets. as we make changes like that now we'll be able to better understand the impact of those changes because of these

annual reporting requirements. we urge you to support this and thank you for your time today. >> thank you, mr. buler? >> good afternoon, members of committee, mike buler, san francisco heritage. we reviewed this back in 2011. we held our report because of lack of transparency right now and we thank you for providing the tracking requirements and others recommended measures to adjust along the way. we urge your support of the legislation subject to the technical amendments introduced today that provide a clear role for the historic preservation. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker.

>> hi. my name is michael nolte. i'm the executive for lines for better district 6. our organization is in support of transparent and also legislation. it's helpful to have a way to development for the more done in a way that actually helps everybody. and it's too bad there aren't more people here from district 6 to address this and i also want to point out that when i attend a hearing like this and one item is given 3 minutes and another for 2 minutes for public comment. is it the discretion of the chair or should all be equal. so i just want to make that point too that i think all items should be given the exact

amount of time and not one item gets 3 minutes and the other item gets 2. i don't think that's fair. any further comments? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor kim? >> i want to thank again the members of the public for their feedback on this particularly the heritage architectural work. what i would first like to do is move the technical amendments and make a motion to that effect? >> okay. this is a motion to adopt the amendments. can we do that without orange -- objection. >> i would like to ask supervisor kim if there is enough time for to you get that briefing and to ask questions.

i do think and believe that this is a measure that will relieve development pressures. i want to make sure there is enough time to do that. >> i feel comfortable just on face to move this without recommendation given the full support from the planning commission. i think my concern is a little bit different. we have a lot of development right now in the downtown area and i'm concerned about not measuring that development better without us having adequate resources to ensure the infrastructure that is in place but also making sure the development is not concentrated in the south of market but development is throughout the city. i want to make sure one part of the city is not being burdened with all the of the development. i want to gather the legislation and it's hard

to tease that out without a full briefing. but i'm looking forward to this meeting and happy to send it forward with recommendation but just so you under what my concerns are. >> i will just make that motion that we move it out with recommendation. >> okay. can we take that motion without objection? >> is there any further business for the committee? >> no, there is -- are no other matters. other matters. >> then we are adjourned,

announcer: b dreams and good grades aren't enough to get into college. there are actual steps you need to take. finding someone who can help is the first and most important. for the next steps, go to knowhow2go.org.

welcome to the transportation meeting. >> director ramos, present, director rub key, mr. chairman director hooin key will be absent. any no electronic devices. the board respectfully respectfully recollect they be turned off. >> because of the fire code

rules, gentleman, we need you all ladies and gentlemen to find a seat if you don't mind. >> thank you. >> item 4 approval of the meeting. regular motion. motion to move? any further discussion? aye. >> item 5, 10.4 will be severed from the consent calendar and considered later in your meeting agenda. item 6, by board members. >> i just want to express some concern about the elevator outages at the downtown area that i know are bart control

but all 3 stations have had outages. i understand there was an unusual circumstance with that and i want to know if there is anything we can do. it affects more than me. >> i want to get in touch with bart today. it's a very serious issue, of course. >> thank director. >> one quick call out to recognition for the twitter feeds and how helpful it's been. i signed up for it on my phone and got more robust and more immediate. there was a police action on powell and our poor driver was trying to communicate that to an

incredible bus load. don't you have the twitter feed. it says this. it's really helpful to a lot of people. so thanks to our communications systems. >> thank you director. director ramos? >> i was just riding around in a car the other day, my wife's car and i was checking out a lot of the infrastructure that was going on and church street now has those painted lanes and i know there was going to be restricted left turns that are coming out of the church street in front of the dedicated lanes, i want to make sure there is enough signage posted. we had some trouble getting, not trouble but it took time to get signs. notice there is a number of significant cars turning and getting in the bus

lanes for that. also to my horror on the way back, we were crossing up fell street and noticed a lack of a post, supervisor breed mentioned on top of the post, there were children riding in the bike street lane. i was delighted to see them with their little helmets. but i notice when you got to the panhandle, i noticed there wasn't sufficient signage for them to realize and they kept riding into traffic with the cars. my point is that we'll be able to talk about signage particularly for that transition in the future. >> anyone else? okay.

>> moving on, directors report. >> good afternoon, chairperson, members of the board and members of the public and staff. i have a number of things to address today as part of my report and as we always do at the first meeting of each month, we'll start with special recognition awards. so first, i want to ask miss reynolds to come forward with mr. bondey and she's welcome to come forward and bring her family. i know when people are thinking about here are thinking about the expertise in terms of bike and pedestrian safety with her policy work here in san francisco but we are actually

recognizing her today for a different skill she brings to the agency. she is a manager within the sustainable streets in what we are looking for in managers and particularly in what our strategic plan goal that is oriented towards improvement of the work force of the agency that we acknowledge that is something we need to do if we are going to meet the other goals of the strategic plan. she joined a little over 2 years ago in the management section. in addition to the bike and pedestrian stuff she brought a lot of management and working with staff on professional development and soliciting feedback and providing construction and guidance that

is perceptive to the point and well received and something that many of us in management while it's in incumbent on us to do that to help our staff grow, that most of us aren't used to doing and she's focused on it significantly and not just for her own staff but she was part of a small group of folks that designed by all mta's employees and she brought some of her previous private sector to bear and hopefully have a much more performance oriented organization in terms of how we manage and evaluate our own staff. she models this behavior herself meeting individually with each of her 16 full time staff members each quarter to review their plan and soliciting feedback in a 360 approach that has been

become a model for the whole sustain able area. her skill with complicated communications and mentoring her staff an getting a quick understanding of the projects and challenge and getting them implemented and with her working outside of agencies an finding a common ground and i will talk about those later which she's are coming to bear in a resolution for the community and the agency. for all that, aside from all the good bike and pedestrian stuff she does, she's doing a lot of the hard work in management that we are looking for and i want to recognize her for today and bridget smith who is her direct supervisor and i want to ask

her to say something to the board. >> thank you. i'm very pleased to recognize slida. she understand that in order to do that, she and her team needs to develop and present improvement proposals that are both compressive and transformational and she and her teamed have fully embraced this approach and i'm very grateful that she's with us and shares her leadership with us. i would like -- mr. smith to say something. >> i can't say in you have about slita reynolds and i want to thank you for taking the time
