supervisors land use and economic development committee. i am scott wiener, the chairman of the committee. to my left is supervisor david chiu, a member of the committee and supervisor zane jane will be joining us jortly. i want to thank sfgtv for broadcasting today's hearing and our clerk ms. miller. ms. miller, are there any announcements? >> yes. please silence all electronic items and please submit cards for public comment to the clerk. >> thank you. i want to note that supervisor cohen has joined us. can you please call item one. >> item one is a public utilites commission for the pacific gas &

electric company of the watershed lands lands for $2,200. >> so this item is the sale of puc land andisement rights to pg&e. it's in unincorporated san mateo county county. it facilitates gas repairs pg&e is making in the area to install a valve. the purchase price is 2200 for the easement rights to be conveyed to them. the puc commission approved this on april 9. it has a general plan referral dated may 7 showing conformity to the general plan. it has a categorical exemption from ceqa and i am happy to answer any questions about this.

>> any questions? okay. i will open it up for public comment. is there any public comment for item one? seeing none public comment is closed. could we have a motion to forward this to the board with recommendation. >> so moved. >> okay. can we take this without objection? that is the order. item two. >> item two is an ordinance to provide bottle filling stations. >> supervisor chiu is the author of this item. >> thank you mr. chair. i am proud to announce the first of its kind program of clean free drinking water. during my time on the board of supervisors i have been a strong advocate for reducing our addiction to plastic bottled water and i have educated residents about the economic, environmental and health benefits of drinking tap

water in san francisco and given our pristine hetch hetchy tap water. people drink enough bottles to go around the world end to end and we have a billion water bottles in the trash takes up valuable space and leaks toxins into the water. all of the bottles take a thousand years to biodegrade. the ordinance would let drink tap stations be installed where a drinking fountain is required. they can be paired with a combination unit . these drink tap stations would mean more access to the hetch hetchy water and less bottle waste and our tap water is among the economic and healthier drinks available.

i want to thank the san francisco puc and the environment of environment and building inspection who have worked with me on the legislation and will support the implementation of this legislation for the contractors and developers. i want to thank staff for their input and i am currently drafting additional legislation to limit the sale of water bottles on businesses that operate on city facilities and property. this will be coupled with a commitment to access in drinking water throughout the city in public locations. i would like to at this time ask a couple of representatives from city departments to say a few words about the legislation. first i would like to invite up veronica fox from the puc. >> good afternoon supervisors. ms. fox with the sf puc and i

wanted to thank supervisor chiu and we have an implementing responsibility specifically to conduct outreach to developers, contractors, building owner bs this legislation and support them in being compliant by making information available about vendors and related information so we're happy to play that role should the board pass this ordinance. we also are just really excited about this ordinance because we think that it would implement in policy what we have been trying to do programmaticically at the puc for a number of years. it's a real priority for us at the agency to really help all residents and visitors of san francisco to let them know where their water comes from and how it's some of the cleanest water in the nation that we have and also to promote access so in 2010 we launched the global tap

initiative which created these bottle filling stations in public spaces and in 2011 we began a partnership with the school district and with the department of public health to put these drink tap stations in schools. it's been a very successful program. supervisor chiu joined us for the launch of one of those in chinatown. we have done that in eight schools so far. we have another 30 that will be making available so it's tremendously success, excited that the policy will scale that kind of work and i think you received communication about this but our citizen's advisory committee support this is ordinance as well. >> thank you ms. fox and i neglected to mention as was mentioned the fact is we already have drink tap stations right now in a number of our highly trafficked parks. if you go to

terminal three at sfo and the international terminal you will find taps there. if you go to the swrool, the academy of the sciences and a number of our cutting edge schools these drink taps exist. we're asking as new buildings are created we will put these into those buildings and i would like to acknowledge mr. rodriquez from the department of the environment to provide any comments from your perspective. >> supervisors, mr. rodriquez with the department of the environment. thank you for the opportunity to support this ordinance much the findings really speak to the environmental impacts of bottled water and our concerns but more important wanted to comment about the popularity and use of bottle filling stations are growing. you see them in places as mentioned by president chiu but also in private buildings.

you can see there are a lot of places like gyms are using these and when you have water like hetch hetchy we just need the filling stations to provide the public with a high level of convenience and easy way to fill up reusable bottles and not use plastic bottles so we encourage the support of this measure. >> thank you. president chiu anything else? >> i would like to thank building inspection for their support of the legislation and i have a couple of technical amendments and include them. the first in the definition drink tap station in section a4. it means a bottle filling unit that complies with the

standards of the ada and assisted by the under writers laboratory. i would like to amend it makes the same reference to the ada but approved by an approved agency. the next one is 24-04 and one or more drinking fountains shall have a station in lieu of a separate fountain and clean up the language and for one or more drinking fountains there should be one with each fixture installation and the third technical amendment which was brought to my attention by the city attorney and given that the legislation took a while to get here and the date would come before the effective date and that we strike the references to the operative date and specifically on page four lines

20 and 31 and there is the standard effective date for which the ordinance will be effective 30 days from the date of passage so those are simple technical amendments to adopt but mr. chair if we could go to public comment. >> thank you. do we have any public comment? there are no public comment cards. any member of the public would like to comment? seeing none public comment is closed. so i guess you moved several technical amendments. can we take those without objection? so ordered. and president chiu is there a motion to forward to the board with recommendations. >> i would like to make that motion as i said before there will be additional legislation, hopefully we're introducing in the next few weeks and limit seals of water bottleos city facilities and on city property but we wanted to move forward this piece because i think it's really important for all of us to be thinking how we could be

increasing access to our hetch hetchy drinking water with this being an important part of that strategy and ask mr. chair if we could move this out of committee with recommendation. >> that is as amended. >> as amended. >> okay. can we take that without objection? that is the ord. can you call item three. >> item three is an ordinance and pre-application meetings for the production/distribution/repair light industrial buffer district. >> and supervisor cohen is the author and she is here. >> thank you colleagues. i will keep item four short becausein you have a busy agenda today. this came because of the demolition of the flant plant and working with the department of building inspection and the neighbors to u understand how this could have occurred we

discovered unlike residential property there is are no neighborhood notification requirements that takes place on this type of zoned property. now for those not familiar with this coding classification it's unique to the bay view and it was created in this area -- created in this area where there are single family homes directly across from heavy industrial uses. as a result any significant alteration or demolition work on these buildings has noise, traffic, dust impacts on the adjacent residential neighbors. in light of this incident we worked with the planning department and specific neighborhood notification done on these parcels. in addition that these standards don't need to be

stringent on these parcelsace residential parcels this legislation requires that before applying for permits to construct altero demolish 5,000 square feet or more on one of these parcels a contractor must conduct a neighborhood meeting and provide notice to owners and occupants of within 300 feet of the proposed project site. this would give the neighbors an opportunity to know about work in the community before it begins and it's too onus of a requirement of owners of these older industrial parcels. i would like to bring up erin star from the planning department to provide you more technical detail of the legislation. thank you. >> thank you supervisor cohen and good afternoon supervisor wiener and president david chiu. you did an excellent summary of

the ordinance. not much to add to it other than the pre-applications are currently required in these zones districts but only through commission policy. this ordinance would koif it. it was heard may 19, 2013 and voted 6-0 that the board of supervisors approve the proposed ordinance and you summarized it very well so i will leave that and if you have any questions please let me know. thank you. >> thank you. >> anything else supervisor cohen? >> i believe this legislation strikes the balance of providing the right notice for the neighbors and the work occurring in the community. while not creating too much much a burden on the planning notification requirements for the planning department or the owners of the parcels. i would ask for your support on this measure. >> thank you. madam clerk is there any public comment cards?

any member of the public would like to comment? yes, sir. please come forward welcome. >> good afternoon supervisors. my name is dick molet and i want to thank supervisor cohen for this ordinance. our approximation is notification, notification, notification. even with notification we overlook things that are happening all the time so it's very important that any notification that comes up is approved. i support it. thank you very much. >> great. thank you very much. is there any public comment on item three? seeing none public comment is closed. president chiu could i have a motion to forward item three with recommendation. >> so moved. >> positive recommendation. >> with positive recommendation so moved. >> okay. and can we take that without objection? that will be

the order. madam clerk please call four - if. >> item four for the special use district for the continuing operation of the college of the arts. >> supervisor cohen is the author of this as well. supervisor. >> thank you very much supervisor wiener. this item i have been working on a little over a year. the special use district would help the city's most educational institution also known as the california college of the arts. the california college of the arts has been an institution in potrero hill for decades and they offer 33 graduate and under grad programs for nearly 2,000 students. the college has received recognition for the programs and architecture, design and photographer and paintin
