far public process but are provided in addition to the normal process. we're relying on the hearing such as a today for a broader discussion. we're on the same badge san francisco division of formula retail. you can see we've added to the code in 2004 it's a recent addition and it initialing was for only north beach then in 2007 we have a conditional use authorization for our shopping industries. since 2007 the controls have

been amended so, now formula retails control many of the districts. we'll go over this gore gastrogreat. after the establishments are opened with two or more of those issues then the formula retail apply for the businesses. it's important to know that not every san francisco establishment is not regulated like gas stations and personal services like gyms and nail as long as are not formula radials and bangsz were added a few years ago. also international chains not formula retail. so that's the basics of the

definition. at least let's talk about what we hope to get from the study. first of all, data. today, we'll present preliminary draft data you may be surprised we only knew about the length one hundred formula applications that had been applied for those businesses that preexisted or where located outside the areas we had a total blank. so today, you'll see anything unusual data about the formula retail study. under phase one for all today, we're looking for feedback on the topics to explore. in phase 2 we'll explore those

additional topics and look at the others on a case study basis. so we'll be looking in phase 2 at particular neighborhoods with the limited funds that come available we'll be asking for your help. i want to reassure the public that the department will regain control of the policy recommendations. you've heard at previous hearings there was some that are not publicly accountable it will not be the case the department will be responsible after the sponsor work is duplicate. after the consulting work is finished the staff b will consider the changes and if the changes are noted they'll pass it onto the board of supervisors

and they'll hold their meetings on the public changes as well as other changes. that's the public process we've envisioned. we'll look at the schedule. each phase of the work is for the out set of the work and a hearing at the conclusion of the work. today's hearing will be the launching of the process and we're so the citywide data and we'll be seeking our input today on what topics for phase two. after this hearing and throughout february we've explore the topics and we anticipate the issue briefs on february 27th and move into the second study. those cases studies will access the impact of formula retail.

we understand there is a lot of defy i can't guess and it's likely to be different. so we will work with the consultant to suggest those 4 neighborhoods for a deeper look and we anticipate the prirmentd report at the end of the march with a final report at the end of april of this year. the policy recommendations will be from the planning department after the completion of the study. now senate file i can't hayward will talk about that and this is her last hearing she's accepted a promotional opportunity at the mayor's office housing and it will be a huge loss for the

department and a huge loss for me. given the housing crisis i can't think of a better place for her i'm going to turn it over to sophie. >> good afternoon there should be a map coming up on the screen. there are hard copies for you and the public that will be more useful. the map on the screen are the areas where formula retail is permitted in blue and where it's not permitted in very, very light pink and requires authorization in orange. and this map adds in black new areas where the controls are proposed. so this map is out in hardcopy

for the members of the public. as we've reported to you before since the first formula rail controls the 95 applications have been filed and 64 percent were approved and leveling percent decide approved and 12 pressor withdrawn and other is pending. those next four maps are going to show the same type of information but gansz dpe graph as a map and those are where their approved and this map is where they were denied or withdrawn and this one is where they're still pending. and this last one is all that information together and this is available for the public as a

hardcopy more useful than the screen shot. those map only reflect the data for formula retail controls. those maps only show chain shores in areas where it the prominently - it's useful but not comprehensive. the next slide this is the maps that have been prepared for phase one work which is a citywide analysis. and phase 2 that was mentioned will focus an individual case studies in much more detail. >> you mention there are effort to the study the formula retail that are concurrent with ours and they use different

methodologies. each provides a different take and hopefully wale e we'll put together a fuller picture. the first study was the sf loma study and this was very useful information it was the first study and focused in our area. it was useful but i want to point out that the data don't alien with san francisco their study area include san francisco and south san francisco and other areas. their controls are different in those jurisdictions. ted from the controller's office is working on a formula rail based on aggravated data. those studies will include an

informational point. we anticipate that study to be released in the coming weeks and we understand that san francisco retail brokers have given us a survey study including the existing studies as well as vacancies and we look forward to the release of that data as today and we role look forward to incorporating that into our analysis. then there's our study based on dunn and brad street data. i want to say that no data set is a perfect but we're encouraged the basic results using the different data sets actually line up so far. we and ted and the realtors have come up with the same percentage

of formula retail as a total percentage and that's from 11 to 15 percent the fact we're using different data and studies coming up with the same results is encouraging to say the least. as i mentioned there are approximately 12 hundred retail establishments that accounts for 11 percent of outlining all retailers. nationally 32 percent of retail establishment include penn 10 or more outlets we we consider 12 outlets to be formula retail. the formula retail accounts for 11 percent of the city it's
