drafted the office allocation program in 1986. it's the law in san francisco it's an amendment to the planning code. the sections around 325 are the office allocation principles. it does not require the city to approve a project. it is all optional and neither is the 309 section. people begin by division are asking for something special when we ask for is an office allocation and an exception to the planning code. what happened was originally the project at 350 mission went through the planning commission and the e f r process.
1:17 am
i commented and it was approved in 2011 while i was unavailable to attend. because it maxed out they couldn't build more. when the city agreement the transit city plan it was included and the f ar had been more genius than under the downtown plan that were a developer decided to go back and ask for another 6 stories. in the middle of all this process the city adapted a process. besides the office allocation process i was heavy heavy heavy involved in getting all the fees imposed me city. the transit fee, affordable
1:18 am
housing fee and childcare fee. the organizations that i represent spent 5 long years getting those in place before we did prop m. and the whole genes of that legislation of the various legislation were to recognize that when an office building came online the people in the office building the tenants in the office space would have an impact on the city they would use muni we said them to. they would make a demand for housing and childcare. the whole crust of legislation you've got to have things ready when the building opens. we had a surprise an office approval prop m was addressed to
1:19 am
address the ups and downs of the office approvals. we don't dispute the fact that the developer used the provision that was absolutely proposed because small developers were having a hard time getting financing. the legislation was drafted so everyone was take advantage of it. the predecessors signed the papers what happened what there's a fee deferral. there's no transit it would be available after it opens. because i'm also the head of the nonprofit that's involved with the affordable housing corporations i'm extremely aware of the fact that you can't buy
1:20 am
today, the amount of land for affordable housing you could buy three years ago why? because of the influx of office space and the up skwail of the rent had made the land more valuable. so this left us this choice and it purchased my but the because we struggled for developers to pay to help mitigate affordable housing development and transit and childcare. in the irony of all this is the headquarters of a developer who is in the front page of the paper being so generous he was telling people to do more he
1:21 am
didn't do the minimum. sales force a hypocrite and now how much their saving by shifting the burden onto the affordable housing community and muni by deferring their fees is much more than they will ever had helping out junior high students. i found this appeal to say no. there comes comes a point you're supposed to use the provisions and look at it your discretion. the board of supervisors has discretion you have discretion that goes beyond everyone because of the charter. that everyone who approves an office allocation has the discretion to say no. and i have been in the hearing room in the past with planning
1:22 am
commissions have said no and to office development. it don't matter how much their entitled they're not entitled thank you very much >> ms. hesitating take care i have a question. >> yes. i'm trying to understand your concerns isn't that true the fees will be paid. >> yes. because the fee didn't take a look at the price escalation of the land. >> i get that. >> and the land is what the value is to the funding for affordable howard's but but that wasn't take into account in prop m. >> by the time prop m was on the
1:23 am
ballot we had label mechanisms in place for the fees. it was a instructional to get that. we have an entire fee structure that's predicted on observe building and supply of transit and a affordable housing and a childcare has to be there when it opens. that law preceded prop m. i understand that but i'm saying to you >> you're concerned about inflation of land valuable that was not written into the law. >> no, it was - and a let me finish the fiascos are deferred and there's a surcharge for deferral but that speaks to the law; correct? >> an original law the fiascos are paid at the time you start
1:24 am
construction. >> i understand that i'm talking about the current law. >> it's gone back to that lay. >> but my question is there's in provision for the concerns your ray's. >> i would love it if you told people they should do it. >> that was what i was trying to clarify. >> i assume you said to make our argument now. >> you have the microphone. >> yes. i am raising the computer here. all right. good evening, commissioners dan with rubbing event e benefit and rose i'm

representing kilroy reality their current building an office building at the northeast corner kitty-corner from the sales force the cities largest growing employers is going to be taking the whole building. it was unanimously firmed by the board of supervisors on appeal. it was also firmed by this board. well, i'll just skip since the slow down are not going in the order i intended. tonight ms. hesitating take care is asking you to over turn the 6th edition to the project. that edition was not part of the approval because the zoning was not restricted and now it they
1:26 am
planned the decent to the area and it will add the impact fees that take advantage of the decent that has to a pay. the outline for the offer turning is unprecedent and asking you to approve the 6 stories they meet the standards. what she's doing is appealing because kilroy is taking advantage of a program by the board of supervisors to deter fees and when the board of supervisors adapted that program they balanced the expediting public interests that ms. testing e hesitating take care is citing here tonight. this board has discretion to
1:27 am
prove of disapprove projects. what ms. hesitating take care is asking for and i'll quote her discretion is denied to have further approval for the 20 story believe shows asking you to pencil lithiasis liz for what the board of supervisors allowed them to do. you have discretion but no where in any city ordnance can a developer be denied because of not paying fees peril. this would be like the police imup and down someone's car for a parking ticket because the parking ticket was not paid but
1:28 am
not due yet. that time has passed under the fee ordinance ms. hesitating take care and anyone else for that matter had 15 days for the site permit to challenge it's fiascos. that window closed more than a year ago and f even if an appeal was filled the borders jurisdiction is strictly limited to whether or not the magnet calculation is correct. there's no jurisdiction for this board to say you can't participate in the deferral fee program. you can't disapprove projects because of they're past participation in the fee program. just to be clear there's no question that kilroy is going to pay the fees for this project.
1:29 am
it's already paid some of them it's a matter of timing. under the fee impact fees was due when the first construction document was issued and those fees were paid for 1 that million dollars. and the next is for the certificate of occupancy in 2015. so all the sound and furry is about whether the fees get paid within a couple of months or a year from then. as for the additional steroids and note that's the permit that's in front of you tonight. the dbi and the city attorney's have said this is not - the fees are 3 and a half million dollars
1:30 am
that are not due. kilroy is a direct response agreed to pay the fees earlier. kilroy is legally entitled for the fees in 2015 when it pulls the site permit for the addition in the next couple of months. this is merrily listed in the commissions approval on the screen. this appeal is in the way of no good deed going unpunished. we've had two requests to pay the fees early. the appeal is legally groundless although there are concerns but legally speaking i don't think you
