assist saint bonafice to [speaker not understood] and in developing a framework for evaluating this proposal to guarantee their rezoning is in the public interest, acknowledging that many other buildings may also want to be eligible for this type of change, but figuring out what the framework is under which we would allow this. we do have a precedent and that is st. mary's church in supervisor david chiu's district. with the set of criteria established, i believe help to bolster communities support for this project giving neighborhood stakeholders the comfort that this would not produce unintended consequence either to the neighborhood or the city's carefully crafted tdf program. because of the planning department's careful a analysis sis, the important role in the community, our legislation has received a broad range of community support and i know that we have the planning department and we also have father tommy from st. bonafice here along with edward [speaker not understood].

i want to give st. bonafice and [speaker not understood]. >> [speaker not understood]. both the planning department and our commissions reviewed this and it is of utmost importance we make sure that rezoning such as this which would confer the ability to sell transfer development rights are only done when it is in the public interest and not necessarily in the private interest of the asking party. in this indication, the proposal passed with flying colors meeting all of the criteria and was recommended by approval unanimously both [speaker not understood] and historic preservation commission. thank you. >> thank you. father tommy, would you like to come and comment as well? good afternoon, supervisors. my name is father tommy [speaker not understood], the pastor at st. bonafice church. we serve many critically and important [speaker not

understood] in the tenderloin ~. the building itself is the tenderloin's most distinctive and dominant landmark. spiritually it's a place of peace and tranquility. it also provides a place of rest for many san francisco economically disenfranchised and homeless citizens. the architecture, the art and particularly the century old stain glassed windows provide humanizing beauty. and filled with dehumanizing poverty [speaker not understood]. during the day people come in to enjoy the beauty, the quiet for a chance to pray, meditate, or just gather their thoughts. the church is also hosted for nearly a decade now. it will be a project as supervisor kim mentioned. the project provides space in the back half of the church for people to sleep and rest during the day. many of the people on the church pews were on the streets the night before because there were not adequate space for them in the shelters. also having nowhere to go during the day at a time when

the shelters are closed. any given time during the weekdays, anywhere between 40 and 90 people resting in the pews of saint bonafice. you might imagine opening our doors to so many people takes a heavy toll on the building. we also provide one of the building to the [speaker not understood] academy, a private catholic school which serves 4 through 8 grade students with families in the tenderloin area. because parents only pay $50 per month, tuition is covered by scholarships. [speaker not understood] and advance to sacred heart cathedral high school. approximately 80% of them go on to college. for students in the tenderloin, that is an incredible statistic. the majority of the people is the [speaker not understood] serves are very poor. many work two or three jobs just to cover the high cost of rent and to feed their families.

our parishioners are multi-cultural. because of their high level of poverty, our parishionerses are able to contribute very little to the income of the church. as a result, we do not have adequate funds to cover the cost of preserving such a very large building. it what completed in 1902. the great earthquake of 1906 destroyed nearly the entire structure. miraculously the main tower and two accompanying towers of the church remain standing. those towers were incorporated into a new building constructed in 1907. therefore, the church as it stands today includes the most prominent architectural feature from 1902 with remaining built from [speaker not understood] and upon ashes of the original building. the church's most beautiful architectural ornaments are the stained glass windows. the 27 hand painted windows are designed by the premiere art glass designers in the world. the collection of the church represents only a few remaining complete examples of this genre of church he he in the united states.

having with stood past 105 years, the windows are now unstable. the [speaker not understood], the glass is cracking and many of them are in jeopardy of complete destruction. a recent proposal estimated the cost of restoration at about $2 million. as i mentioned earlier, the church barely has enough funds at any given time for substantial operating expenses. it would be impossible for the church with limited resources to begin such an immense financial undertaking as repairing these hand painted stain glass windows. to restore the stain glass, the church needs a new and substantial source of funds. if the church were allowed to sell transferrable development rights, we anticipate over time we would have sufficient funds to complete the restoration of all of our windows. without those funds as a stained glass continues to crack and break, they will have to be replaced. if that occurs we will have no other option to put temporarily

put plywood over the windows, [speaker not understood] clear glass. and if we can raise the money, that would certainly be a travesty. the church is a landmark worthy of preserving for all the citizens of san francisco and particularly for the people that call the tenderloin their home. the church has long been known as the oasis of the tenderloin. community sub for the for the proposed restoration has been overwhelming. this is the following list of the supporters. tenderloin neighborhood development, community housing partnership, university of california hastings college of law, episcopal community services, mercy housing, saint anthony's foundation, alliance for better district 6, tenants association, coalition, and san francisco architectural heritage. we are also grateful to receive unanimous support from the historic preservation commission and as mentioned unanimous support from the san francisco planning commission. this is a great cause and one

that will help preserve this landmark for future generations. thank you very much. >> thank you so much for your presentation. >> thank you, supervisor kim. at this point can we proceed with public comments? okay. we will open it up for public comment on item number 2. i have no public comment cards. we have one, but then i got a note that this person will not speak, edward solesky. so, is there any public comment on item number 2? okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. [gavel] >> and, supervisor kim, would you like to make a motion on item number 2? >> sure. i would like to make a motion to forward with positive recommendation. but again would like to thank all parties for their [speaker not understood] through this process. we want to be really careful when we expand on potential sites to the tdr program that we aren't oversaturating, that we do have the framework by which we enter in other parcel.

i think the church is a perfect example of the type of parcel we would like to support through the tdr program. it is both contiguous to the zone area and is also a nonprofit institution that serves such an important need in the tenderloin community. and i just want to note something that i really [speaker not understood] over christmas, the students actually do a free concert for any homeless residents to come to watch them sing and carol. and i think that's such a wonderful way for young people to learn how to give back at an early age. and again, it could be a project could be an amazing place. i wish more of our churches were able to did that. we have a limited amount of daytime drop-in centers for homeless residents in our city, the good will project is really one of the few churches i know of that opens its doors to everyone in the city. it's just really just an amazing resource and i want to appreciate all the work that you do and really fulfilling your mission through your church. so, again, want to move this

forward with positive recommendation. >> okay. supervisor kim has made a motion to move forward with positive recommendation and can we take that without objection? >> yes, please. >> okay, without objection, that will be the order. [gavel] >> madam clerk, is there any additional business before the committee? >> there is no further business. >> okay, then we are adjourned. [gavel] >> thank you, everyone. [adjourned]

>> good afternoon, everybody i'm loped brodie i'm the supervisor for 5th district i'm excited because i believe this is the model for how affordable housing should be done in san francisco when we build housing to other locations to develop all below rate i want to thank by thanking the developer brian and those hopes are going to be absolutely amazing. i'm here to express my commitment to make sure that san francisco is doing everything this can to continue our work on affordable housing. we talk about when we do that wrong well, this is the case we doing to right and pushing more

affordable housing in so far. without further ado, i'd like to bring up mayor ed lee any public comment? mayor ed lee has not only been an advocate for affordable housing but one the first mayors to take on the housing issues so i'm proud of the work not only with public hours but affordable housing thank you all for coming and without further ado, mr. mayor come on up and tell us about this project (clapping.) spreading thank you very much for that introduction. by the way, i want to let me u know supervisor breed and i you're going to see us together from affordable housing to public housing she's worked hard and i want to thanks her.

if we are going to build thirty thousand units of indoors the next 6 years i'm going to need friends like supervisor breed. we're going aggressive because people want to live in our wonderful city a lot of people 79 to stay in our city and we can only accommodate that if we are almost military eric about building and pitting together how does. i'm going looking forward to seeing those homes but i want to restate a commitment one it's evolved in conversations with supervisor breed and other supervisors our advocates in the city we've got to be graph about building protecting and

middle-class housing so when we stated thirty thousand unit that sounds like a lot but it that r will reflect the highest number of housing we've built in the history of the city. we're willing to do that because that's what is the needed so it's a mixture of not only building housing but rehabilitating housing that's decaying in front of us so the fund the public-private investments that we create something like the story about this site the incentives we'll have for the public-private industry we're building as well as is public monies the supervisors will decade to this effort will you'll conclude in the next 6 years thirty thousand units of housing. we can't get this done simply by

dlaifrg this cause we have to make it happen therefore in the last december i called for all agencies to work with me to make sure they are processes were the welcoming result it concluded in a series of meeting that are lead by mravp and building inspection and including our fire department our housing units all the different agencies and including the offices of sgblt & anothers it's not easy even if i head up this bureaucracy ask any ceo of any great place and you're asking me to do it here i've got to get in done internally i know it rings true inform supervisor breed.

get on the same map and same promising program and same pass so planning and dbi i want to recognize angus for being the person in charge he is making sure that bill strong is working with us we take advantage of this goal and let's reorganize the tools within our sfog to work n in the same fashion. i have a responded positively by immediately suggesting short-range and admitted and long-range to do. today i've rewarded them by adapting they're short range recommendations i'll highlight one. is to say anything in the pipeline that has any affordable housing attached to it gets

attention immediately. it's hard to do without the leadership the city agencies coming do i dough but we're phone number for two reasons one to reflect the implementation of the policy we are going to throw mr. brown and dbi and a public works we are going to lift those are projects up and give them priority attention and the second reason is to suggest that the developers of those projects should hear about immediately. because what it does is have a very dedicated reinclusion monk the developer community in the city. that if you have ava's part of our development you're going to get go attention.

it used to be kinally if you had money you'd get attention but if you have housing particle affordable housing you're going to get the same kind of attention. so it's to reversible within the developer community and this is important incentive advised them to put housing on the sites or in the private investment to is your developments will get high priorities in the city. another highlighted part is to have concurrent reviews so our staffs start juggling things i'm not looking yours because you're not in the cue in the right order those housing projects get

immediate review. that's important that's how important this development is. i will suggest as part of this is that when we said thirty thousand units that's always rehabilitating unit we don't want to lose 10 thousand unit so we're pay attention to the current housing stock that's why mrs. wolf i've had the good fortune to work with she and others have pushed forward another policy reflective in those instructions that development and developers who want to bring forward units that might not have been legal in the past will get priority treatment and as we look at each development we at one point make sure that the developers are not

decreasing the number of units in the development process so to give a good you holistic look at all developments to make sure we prevent the housing stock and allow the developers to legal lists and a make more legal those units that might have been in the studios and not permit developers to suggest oh, because i have tenants in unit that might not have been legal we can get rid of them we're saying the oppose to preserve the housing stock we're not going to getting let you decrease the housing stock in the city. those are some of the major highlights i'm embarrassing and all the head agencies from dbi to disability to the rent board to the fire department to all

agencies even the board of appeals they're here we're working together to get this done and the right way. i wanted to bring to your attention and by the way, it's raining so 13450i8 it's a great day i'm smiling when it rains and it's the year of the horse and we've got housing and i know i'm going to meet a tenant some place who's family is here in the city and works in the nonprofits and who has a member of the family that's part of the artist it iic community this is san francisco's families we want to help stay here and grow here they've got a small child and will be one of the first ones to move in i love hand to hand out

keys this is what supervisor breed and i love to do for people who want to stay here and grow their families and be here open market street that. brian you've done a wonderful job this is a site you've controlled. if you saw what was happening at the site being an old restaurants and being unutilized having families who are here to pay below market rent half one bedroom and 20/20 bedroom we've wified up for everybody i'm simon smiling we need more acquisition states i sites i know that our staff is talking about every site we can get

control of get developers to help us build for nooshl affordable units 23 below market units on this site in the heart of market street. not a domino of city funds. which went into this it's all privately paid for as part of the housing going that brian can tell you about he was building market rate condominiums not part of castro but are happy to do it this can be the example of the kind of example and relationships we want to for this with our development community yes, in the future we'll have more of those how to work with developers like brian

who wants to do more in our city this is heartfelt for 23 families but it will be a symbol we need 23 more projects immediately. i'm happy to be here and to thank our different divisions and departments working with us and brian has a attempting team and to suggest that he and other developers come in and i've got thirty thousand units to build in the next 6 years and we're excited to do that. maybe we can take a few questions on this >> almost thirty thousand units how realistic is that and how (inaudible) prioritizing how quick can you bring those in.

>> we know things and britain will tell you their history of working with the city and a planning department what moves things and not bureaucracies didn't move things. and 1rir789 review processes could be toilgd up. our agencies working together could do con current reviews building won't look at this until planning department don't and fire the last everyone can work concurrently to accelerate all those projects why do you handicap offices that cause one and a half years of review as opposed to 6 months of review.

thoses are things that are practical the community is going to praise us and our bureaucracies didn't respond very well until he felt the need to put this on the fast accelerated agenda. yes, sir. it's grave but we've got to do it for the people who are waiting to 0 move into those places their atkins at the door can we shorn e shorten that line by neurology our efficiencies. i think we can do that. this year open market street alone 5 thousand 5 hundred units 6 housing will be opened up for homeownerships. with that backdrop we can do it with many more projects we need

to see hunters point sledder we can do this we're all on the same package and if not supervisor breed is going to make sure shows got a large voice. other questions? >> are you going to adhere new staff to make sure that the projects are going to go faster? >> you know i think we were rode particularly for planning they were rode with additional staff because the whole market the development was increasing in the city so i don't know if there's necessarily increased staff just for the housing i think it's efficiencies because they have budget instructions that don't allow them to increase their budget so it's

all about efficiencies it's not about asking for more staff but what processes that are barriers to efficiencies. they've gotten more staff i think they're telling me see other people told me they weren't the problem and we got people together and they were looking at each other as the problem so the response we have today and the ideas is not about the additional funding. by the way, the developer community has told me they're willing to pay if they get efficiencies out of this time is money for them and we're saying housing and time is money and therefore if there is a suggestion that we can accelerate with more staff i've got at that developer community

that i've suggested that they would pay for. but this is not rnlthd in the recommendations we have today so all the idea we're getting by accelerating and concurrent things it's strictly bureaucracy >> (inaudible). >> well, certainly for housing developments this includes public housing yes. we've had to think through and plan for the financing of what we call the public housing portfolio and olsen can give you american people update because we've got incomes from hud that allows us to put money in areas and a good

chunk of that has going towards repairing elevators and other things that effect people with sgablts and seniors. >> happy new year of the horses we are going to go up here and thank

>> february meeting of the san francisco ethics commission will now come to order. >> i will call the roll. >> vice chair renne? here. >> commissioner hur? >> here. >> commissioner keane? here. >> commissioner andrews? >> here. >> everyone is present and accounted for, thank you. >> the first order of business will be the public comment on any matters appearing before our commission today, whether they are on the
