>> i have one card francisco. >> commissioners for those listening at home this presentation that was just given is very convoluted. first and foremost you commissioners from the planning commission you're very well know that hundreds if not thousands of unit rental units have been removed if san francisco which has a population of 8 hundred and 5 thousand linked to the academy of artist university. this ongoing thing is taking forever. we want to know you commissioners who represent the people of san francisco what are you all doing really. this is a call to our mayor mayor ed lee who've i've known
9:31 am
for 35 years what are you doing to replace those units. so all this business without timelines and be objectives w is what i call fluff. what are you doing to replace those opts you all know larry bag in her knows are involved i know him very well. what are you doing to remedy the situation. i watch you thank goodness we have sue here. i watch you diligently and i see all you do is firefighter developers. like the 40 cranes we have in the air and congestion open the roads. so was are you doing to help the
9:32 am
poor? what are you doing to help those who work hard that clean our homes and work in the hotels. they can't live in san francisco. their moving here there and everywhere. the other thing that the task force that's been organized by the mayor why are 10, 15, 20 people living no small rooms. do you all approve that? did google approve that. google should mind their own business they're not contributing to the culture of san francisco. during the.com we accommodate some when i worked at the presidio i know about that but
9:33 am
now we have the fidgety rich and others who have no were to go we need to replace those units that displace people. thank you very much >> thank you. further any public comment? ? >> good afternoon dr. jackson i put in a card i want to state the last time i was here at your meeting i went outside and to talk with your staff. to let your staff know that the information your ref is erroneous information. he says to me if i talk about o citizen lee and what he's not saying you can't talk to me.
9:34 am
what i don't need to talk to him period. he can talk to the investigators when they come to this city. in 17992 i had information i was going to give him. the 1992 the vice president of the united states came to hunters view his name is dan quail. at that time, he sent me a postcard and he said thank you for joining me at the hunter view. i agree with you that parents must be allowed to participate in their children's education i want you to understand those words resident management. it was made available for san francisco through the housing
9:35 am
authority for the tenant to be trained for electricians and yierdz man so the tenant will run public housing. you have the mayor saying war housing been torn do you think that's a lie. the first housing built was in 1938 was built for poor white folks no blacks or asians or latinos was allowed to move next to them. now all of a sudden housing authority has been called war housing it's not that. that is what olsen lee is doing they're coming into the city for this it program the poor but it's not given to the tenant.
9:36 am
as you remember and not all of you, you wasn't here but in 2011, we had to file a lawsuit because they had not been an eir done in the area and those thirty thousand houses the mayor is talking about is in the shipyard where it's the most toxic. the lady ran out of her because we're having problems - >> doctor jackson our time is up. >> thank you. >> sue hester the paper that she was reading for is a why un

off the market >> thank you that sxhifshg. on the loss the dwelling unit this includes all messenger >> yes. >> but there's the codified criteria. >> the man changing change we'll see the merger of unit that are in large building in 3 or more unit where each of the 2
9:55 am
unit with evaluated over the $1.3 million if each unit is offer that evaluation this is changing as a result of this policy so all the meagerers will come before this commission. the other bucket of mergers have the unit where their removing an illegal unit and don't want to try to legalize it but they'll still have to meet the criteria in the planning code >> i think the criteria are a little bit muddy. we'll have a couple of cases they were able to merge two homelands into one i think the criteria leads to weird projects people are trying to merge and meet the criteria
9:56 am
>> it's recently been amended that took effect at the end of january so the next projects that come back to you for merge have to be reevaluated. >> so i think we should be stronger on the board and should be about mergers if we don't want them as a no mergers. instead of 5ukd projects they met the criteria but i don't think they were good mergers and the criteria said we should approve them. and then in the density do we know if there's a lot of projects that don't max out
9:57 am
>> to answer your first question there are a lot of folks not maximuming their density those are probably the smaller projects not the large towers downtown maybe a unit could go to 6 units but they're proposing 3 separate homes some maybe building code reasons and some get triggered at the certain amount of density but it is definitely a case by case process. >> commissioner borden. >> thanks i think this is an interesting - i'll start with a density question. i think projects for example, you've seen on the corner of market where there was a chase bank project built how would we
9:58 am
obviously it was a commercial project so the stint on that lot could you have been a lot more will those projects be effected >> this is the kind of thing that won't effect one project we're going to put forward a policy to the community saying if you're property is a certain density build to that density. we won't be disapproving projects but getting it out to the public if you have a certain density stay with that >> that's a very good example that zoning allowed four or five stories. >> it's a single story building it's awful.
9:59 am
there - >> some require minimum sdipts that's worth having a discussion as we talk about those issues. >> that's how in that case they'll submit on application, you know, would someone follow-up and say you're doing this project how said that work funnelly. >> on a practice matter it's us and the department and staff encouraging them to do more in a bank parking lot but we can't require someone to build more and - >> in terms of the unit know you were talking about conformity but working with the rent board there are a lot of
10:00 am
tenant living illegal in some of the units. >> i think in reality this commission will deal with this and it is a big component of the genesis of this task that the mayor there are real people living in those units being taken off the market and the loss of the units should be evaluated. it's not in the code but by all means deserve consideration that this commission will weigh in on >> that is important there was a lot of discussion on this. i way i want to think about it the default mechanism if the unit is illegal by the planning code we'll encourage them to remove it. the default mechanism is to try to legalize it >> the o
