9:30 pm
so to speak. those market requirements include san bernardino information in all languages a number of the marketing cigarettes. our office has our own e-mail distribution list be probably 10 or 11 thousand members. >> the mayor's office of housing doesn't have that list. >> we actually have those lists. sometimes those people asked to be on the list >> i mean separate and apart from this legislation i think there's a mediate for the office to mistake this more superficial listed. all the details i'm concerned
9:31 pm
we're not able to adequately track to help the people who need help. i think we should add a creation of a central listed way to track people and you could send out the lottery in realtime how many units you have and people not knowing about the lottery and the particular projects seems accidental. that's what i find confusing. only 17 people exercised the preference what is meant by that thought people that were certify holder and you notify all of them? >> we currently have a list of
9:32 pm
6 hundred individuals plus many people live outside the state they were displaced 40 or 50 years ago, however, they want to be left open the list. most often we don't get 10 or 12 individuals applying. we've had some opts in the western edition and most of those people are elderly and they only want to return for a specific reason >> that's interesting people have been on the list for 50 years. >> even now we're receiving applications from people that were maybe 2 years old when we were displays in 1971 and
9:33 pm
there's a affordable housing opportunity you coming up. >> they've not been sit on the list for 50 years but have been actively looking at. >> we ask them if they want to stay on the list. >> that's another subject maybe we'll talk about at another time. so if we put this in place i want to talk to the rent board are you going to update the list i know you said there is a filing that the landlord have an intent will there be a bulletin >> when the landlord has an file for getting out of the rental business we have a list
9:34 pm
how to get on the list. >> that's how people get a list. >> when the landlord file a permit to withdraw they get a packet. >> that's another question we had an earthquake and buildings were destroyed when the housing it rebuilt is that considered rent control. >> that's to be considered it could be covered if the structure is completely demolished it would be rebuilt from new construction and exempt from 9 rental control. >> people weren't scared before. >> in the earthquake we lose a lot of our retrofitting
9:35 pm
ordinances. we have provisions if a building were partial demolished there's a pressure with the landlord s can file an exception where they spent 75 percent of the costs itself idea is to bring unit back on the market but not under rent control >> wow. that's sobering. i can't imagine this is in place so it up for your time. i'm supportive of the legislation i think it makes sense. most of those ellis evictions people are given a year; is that correct? for ellis act how much time are
9:36 pm
people allocated >> it's a year for elderly and disabled. >> and so what's the time. >> only 60 days. actually one hundred and 20 and unless there's an extension from the elderly >> good questions commissioner borden. i think it starts to possess more questions. commissioner hillis >> i support the ordinance in the recommendations just a couple questions for mr. chewing. the population when with your building new affordable housing for the affordable housing we've built where are people living
9:37 pm
now are you - have you studied where people are living now? >> no, we have not done any formal studies. we do have the requirement that for them to be role competitive they've got to live in san francisco many of them do and depending upon their income and staying are relatives some days they're living with those. sometimes, we have applicant that are living in shelters at the time their applying. oftentimes they're living in overcrowded quarters so their sharing houses with families that are in homes too small and
9:38 pm
maybe there are two many kids in the unit over time >> i got a little bit convulsed over the timeline. you get a notice from the landlord this skurdz for - you have 6 years where you have this preference sthashl. >> not preference would be valid from the momentum that you received the notice from the london of the intent to remove the unit to 6 years after you receive that notice to 6 years of application. >> that makes sense. and why not o m i evocation if people are in their unit for 10 years i think that o m i was the issue we were dealing with 10 years ago why not when they've
9:39 pm
been displaced? >> again according to the recent budget analyst report he know that ellis evictions are the highest increase in evictions over the 10 years and also based on the budget analyst report that more than 40 percent of the lsds are folks that are citizens and folks of lower income are impacted. so we're responding to an intense growing need that's impacting a population that vulnerable. the legislation is targeted in who we want to assist. again, it's a problem that's not only in our district but all throughout the city. you could make an argument we
9:40 pm
could include other types of evictions but we're trying to target the folks who are the most vulnerable. we understand there's limited supply of affordable housing that the city manages that subsidies and controls. we're trying to target the folk who need the affordable housing the most and trying to balance the needs in the city. that's why we're talking about 20-year cap and 6 years for new units. so we're trying to put in restrictions to make it fair for all folks in the city but really expediting the affordable housing for the people who need it. you've heard from the defense
9:41 pm
services there are ways very few things we can do on the local level to change the law here. we want to do what we can to make sure that folks are not open the street when he steve comes and we're evicting the lee families and other families. so we can make an argument been extending the population for housing but to assist the folks that are the most vulnerable >> i know people intend to evict because people are paying much lowering than mashlt rate. so i think we've managed to decrease the numbers but for low income for 10 years it's a
9:42 pm
smaller amount of folks >> that's why i know the one year and the impact of the program as well as the 3 years to see the impact and we adjust if elliss are going to go significantly credits and o m i's are going to increase that's the time to revisit where that's needed but for now, the policy goal is to really address this intensities problem that's happening right now. >> just a followup question for ms. wolf. when you get that notice of intent to ellis could there be a buy out >> once the owner files they
9:43 pm
can only bow out can happen before that. >> we should look at ways to kind of i mean it's hard to give the benefits that are buth out and sometimes, people have no choose but to buy anti. >> the buy outs maybe loneliness. >> if you get an ellis notice that can't think resented you the landlord can ask for the board to is he render but they have to prove to us that nobody was evicted during the ellis process. the o m you are higher than the
9:44 pm
numbers. under o m i seniors and disabled persons who have lived in the unit it can't be trumpeted unless the owners family is elderly. there are no protected classes accept seniors get a year instead of 1 hundred and 20 days. i know that two forensics have an illegal unit in the believe and that person they don't accept the rent from and they accept the bow out. so you wouldn't know in there's an illegal in the building and that person takes a buy out.
9:45 pm
it's hard to track that they won't tell us about it if the landlord gives them the relocate expects >> commissioner moore. >> i'm in support of the legislation as it stand up. the question i have in the house preference has distributed is there a specific reference to seniors as limited. what did that apply i'm not sure the ones that have the hardest time because of language difficulties and lived in the places for so long don't know about the market battles to find something. they need to be income eligible to occupy the units but there's
9:46 pm
no reference to the age of the tenant >> i would codify be interested in having small business consider that. because at the moment by defining vulnerability the elderly are more vulnerable than someone who was trod the payment and getting into the list etc. >> so if i'm understanding your question correctly commissioner is that we target seniors or people with sdabld and the city attorney can address this. under the state and a federal housing laws we can't give preference over protected classes we have to broadly apply
9:47 pm
it to all protected classes. we add in a 10 year occupancy legislation as a form of procure to target the folks who have lived in the unit long-range. we said that the budget analyst report say that a lot of the folks that get evicted are the seniors so we try to help the vulnerable population. we can't imperative perch to one protected class over another one >> i want to bring that back to the issue of aging and place. this is one of the things for the city to see that the general population is aging. there's different parts of the discussion that includes with
9:48 pm
specific reference to seniors for income and the design component for all components so on but it's the board issue of the city impartial and practical speaking about protection in place. we hopefully, will >> the clerk will read the journal from the previous day add this as we move forward i want the department as well as the supervisors office to spend more time on discussing exactly why 3 or 6 years vs. a rage for 3 to 5 for certain conditions because if i hear the gentleman kreshlg who are indeed hands on practitioners i have to believe that the time is to short that i
9:49 pm
i want to open the discussion about aging in place as a way to look at affordability and preferences for that. >> commissioner wu. >> so following up on the earlier information on the packet. i think it's important and i assume ultimate rent board will give the tenant who have been ellis effected all the information about the housing that's one hundred percent affordable like bridging and housing and go to every single person. i think that's the kind of housing that's going to serve the ellis active people because their income is lower. i want to make a motion as
9:50 pm
recommend by commissioner wu for this legislation >> second and i want a clarification of the 3 year review if that's y what you're saying. yeah. i would have preferred the short period of time but it's been four or five years it's be it's been taken care of. 3 makes sense to me. i'm supportive only of the ellis act situations. owner occupied move in that's an entirely different situations because he's using his own property for his own situation
9:51 pm
so i think that the ellis is a different situation because they're getting out of the rental market and they're using it for other perspires that effect other people. i'll support this reluctantly on the issue of 3 or 6 years >> commissioners there's a motion and second on the floor excuse me. to adapt a recommendation for approval to include a 3 year review by board of supervisors. >> commissioner moore. commissioner wu. and president fong. so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to zero >> commission is going to take.
9:52 pm
>> during those preiss and when sprg speaking before the proceedings if you care too do staurd. item feigning has already continued for item 16 at 238 eureka street. >> dr. requester. you have before a erect district street project that's proposed for constructed for a vertical condition to address addition the vertical addition would add
9:53 pm
two feet additional feet to the height of the building and the rear edition would be multiple steroid and add about this or that .5 poet to the building overall depth and it will include revolver decks it be to be a single-family residence. the dr requesters for the architecture context to the neighborhood and it would impact their foundation the water system. the petition is signed by 21 neighbors who live within a 2 hundred block of eureka street and are opted because of the building scale. 7 neighbors within this same a block have sent letters in
9:54 pm
support. and the parties involved have been 20 to communities boards but have not been able to get resolve. there's are nearly 12 ideal structures and the department finds the buildings comparable with the neighborhood and it will be minimally visual prosecute the street. furthermore, the rear edition reporters the scale it sets down to the grade level as it sets into the lot. the edition incorporates side setbacks and prevents sunlight to the prop.
9:55 pm
the department does not recommend that project >> dr requester. >> can we put things here. >> yep if i put it down there it will come on. >> but you guys the planning commission has already passed it so does it matter. >> no sir, this is in order to take discretionary review. >> islam is phillip i've acknowledged or live on eureka
9:56 pm
for 24 years. our home was built on eureka street in the heart of the castro. there are real aesthetic home. those are the yellow are the people opposed i don't know how to do that this year people opposed to want expansion. we did to the collect names on people outside of our block. there are ago people that on eureka street that are against it. worn-out opted to expansion that's not intruthful and keeping with the style including proposition. we find the deliberate blatantly and staircase with obstructed views into our bedrooms
9:57 pm
unobstructed into our - into our bedrooms not only intruthful before you corporate i didn't as well. he has a balcony and a deck that has visual into our bedrooms for the local citywide and this mansion calls into question the awe authenticity to our street. this is a picture of the back of our homes. his home would extend out 20
9:58 pm
feet beyond that it would be like the yellow area the first two homes the actinic is unkupd occupied but the cut out of this house is acquit intrusive. the mullins they expanded the same square footage and did so without being intrusive and made the characteristic of the original homes okay. that's this house ass has capacity 20 - one thousand square feet and this is expanded one thousand feet but without being intrusive. another home is expanding 11 hundred square feet and didn't change the character of our
9:59 pm
homes. it will open the demeanors to make the expansion totally out of step. it's out off our well propositions homes. the victorian light mansion didn't fit. those are preearthquake victorians. when it's done will it have the same feel as this. san francisco is universal known as it's victorians. will this a be a - will the famous view be replaced with a bastard listed mansion. this is a row of still intact victorians. it offers a connection to nature
10:00 pm
and afford 24 additional square feet of plants and son. this doesn't meet the change and mr. brown can expand his square footage the same as other mansions. it was done as san francisco legal specks but a one-size-fits-all lou law is not a fit. when you look at the proportionality it's massive. this is even convertible this is 25 feet i don't know why those are equal i measured them this morning >> we've done everything we could. >> thank you sir, your time is up. >> thank you. >> i want to call names of speakers in supportive of the
