5:07 pm
be safe and usable for everyone. as this process the concerns what the impact will be in the long run and people raising their children and grandchildren and having the liveable walkingable contact or streets that are overly wide and less safe and less inviting for the community tote. i don't agree that having a liveable what canable is for the castro or the other valley it's something that people that value in hunters point shipyard or other place deserve to have complete streets and i think that's incredibly important and be concerned about the precedent it sets. i disagree are some of the

5:11 pm
have positive benefits towards the plazas and open space. now the legislation gives the city a tool to activate plaza like farmer's market and limit live performance that will have partnerships with the community members and proposes to streamline the permitting process for standards of the plaza making activation easier and sustainable it establishes an inner agency group to incite the administration of the program. now we've got a couple of speakers first, i want to bring up ms. robin as well as another gentleman from the office of economic workforce development they'll give us a detailed description of the program and answer any questions you have.
5:12 pm
colleagues you should have in front of you some non-sun active codes and the planning code that's some of the questions the public has. this clarifies privatization it addresses concerns about privatization noting identification of plaza stewards and private events we have anothers attorney here to discuss this matter. we're joined by john updyke and the department of real estate and the rec and park department staff are all present. so first robin and ken. thank you very much robin.
5:13 pm
good afternoon, supervisors i'll change that to good evening. robin with the office of economic workforce development. thank you very much for the opportunity to addresses you today about the proposed plaza program you'll be considering four amendments that enable it process. allow me to start with the program mission and goals i'm sure you're aware of cities are dauptd proposals and san francisco should be a leader in the positive activities but currently the city department of motor vehicles doesn't have a system we're going to try to fix it so san francisco can be a initiative leader we want to support of vibrant community by creating and successfully managing san francisco's open spaces.
5:14 pm
o e w d is launching the program and we've formed a plaza working group for agencies that have those issues at heart. here's a summary of how the program is structured it will streamline processes to encourage activation by dpw more tools forlogically the permit costs and this is the - some plaza like is that a have been clearly enhancing the goals but the plans are not clear. the city lacks the coordinations of the plans. each the individual programs will provide a stem tisk
5:15 pm
approach mriment overlapping city efforts. the program aims to have the stewart's involved as well as the pavement to parks program. while san francisco partnership has the greening of sidewalks and transformation of the parklets the city has yet to develop the systemic plaza outside the jurisdiction. for the plaza program the the appealable the potential at the words warts obey robust
5:16 pm
proposals to carry out the community support goals and include a scope of work and project letters of support. the plazas program is a program framework it didn't include specific plazas plazas will be adapted on a plaza a i plaza basis and also the program will design robust escalation robust programs to benefit everyone. directing the revenue this is a fundamental part of the program approach the program directs the monies back into the plaza and in addition when possible the revenues generated by the stewards could be directed back
5:17 pm
to the other plaza. the program supports the maintenance goals by working closely with the at the warts for the sustainability of the plaza. an important part of the aspect it is designed to educate a long term management approach for plaza for the community processes like example on the left as you see from the diagram the plazas programs include the pavement to parks and plaza could emerge from the area programs and others programs in kind agreements. if a space emerges for one position and brldz the benefit to the community but the strategy is unclear and a potential for stewardship process the space will be looked
5:18 pm
at. once it's dermdz that a project is developed could be sponsored by plaza program and the local stewardship is a good program first, the street placing that are plaza in the right-of-way they're still streets this is the best strategy for the vehicular traffic like a driveway they'll use an encroachment permit and over permits for streamlining their support the activation in the spaces the second type is a city plaza their city owned but not streets. agreement formed will be a license that will detail the plans are a term years as well
5:19 pm
as the streamlining elements. many communities have expressed interests if the increased levels of activation this can help them to have transformative aspects we want to give you a demonstrates this is an example there are some examples in spaces in san francisco but we want to note that will allow unknown activations approaches as they emerge. this slides gives an illusion how a steward will act this represents the city initiatives where the plazas would emerge and dpw or the real estate division to administer one the processes so you see in the
5:20 pm
process above the blue line the city releases an rfp and only eligible at the warts would be available including the documents for the orientational capacity now let's look at the particularly diagram above this this is the same but slightly different because of the regulatory process. this process also requires a detailed plan that all plazas will have a term years or less unless the stew wart is installing improvements. oewd has a outreach plan as
5:21 pm
individuals plaza are proposed we brought various stakeholders to the table and made presentations to 40 stakeholders groups it helps us to create the new legislation. we'll like to thank all of those for meeting with us we believe their additional feedback has helped. oewd prepared to the small property owner commission and the planning commission. we also conducted an open house using the planning department list we comprised a list of one hundred and 15 questions theirs in your packet. based on the input from the list of questions we made changes to the legislation.
5:22 pm
they're listed in your 3 page table in your packets i'm going to do one slide. there was initial confusion this might include the property under the rec and park department that he amended it to state clearly no project shall be under here. we've heard the impact so we amended it for the weight addressed the concern through the add minute and planning code and do admin code we added the bulk decision requirement under unless the board of supervisors says that's not feasible for the
5:23 pm
plaza. in the planning code additional language is included. and there are several new layers to address this continued. we amended the legislation including a 3 hundred foot marital to neighborhood groups and residents we'll draft the procedures to make sure that no neighborhoods are left out that will include those on the planning department's neighborhood notification system. in order to give the communities for sustainability tools the legislation will preoccupying propose up to 8 events that could restrict access if any are proposed will require the board of supervisors approval per plaza. we've not obey clear for the private events to last more than one day we clarified not more than one day and spread throughout the calendar years
5:24 pm
and clarified the steward proposal any drafts for the directors orders to be filed. and since then we may lose quorum can we go to the elective summary >> so that's slide 11. so i showed you some of the tools. that will be used in the program i can tell you about the legislation palm it's a new chapter to establish chapter 94, 3 amendments to support the program. to delve into the legislation passage i'll start with the admin code to establish the goal and functions and prophesies for both the plazas for example, it
5:25 pm
establishes the respiratory that each plaza can be established by board of supervisors and this is the criteria and going into the detail. for city plazas the admin code described the code i'm happy to go over all of them in detail. the function of the free supporting elements are listed in the site the planning code established the public use zone district without the update it's difficult to connect the non public access to the plazas like the farmer's markets. in addition the planning staff will explain the other part of the amendment that address much needed technical amendments to the p zone section. this establishes the plan force
5:26 pm
is street plaza nate's that's in the public workings code the next encroachment permit is a new past that better encourages the underutilized spaces. there are fee wafrdz and noticing allow for the involvement of time stakeholders and lastly the police code amendment is is a type of lim l. if the plaza is adapted into the plan the stew ward could apply for the l lp and lower the fees. in conclusion. the plazas program supports the
5:27 pm
stewardship and continues to strengthen >> thank you for the presentation i know that you unifying and dpw has spent on this and supervisor cowen i know has been through a planning commission and a lot of the neighborhood groups i really appreciate the thoughtful amendments that were made to the admin code and the supporting elements thank you for your presentation. >> cohen. >> thank you in the interest of time supervisor kim while you were away we've got a long line up and i'm going to go ahead and skip to our city attorney to discuss the amendments just briefly sir, and if the colleagues have questions for john unjohn gibner, deputy city
