116 can you rise please i know i've asked you this several times did you love this job >> i love this job. >> thank you very muc
8:53 am
>> hello, i'm nona along with the legacy of voters in san francisco i'm here to discuss 19th street only june 3rd the city and county of san francisco through it's port commission mfrtsz 3 and a half miles of waterfront along the bay and it currently regulates the maximum allowed heights they run from 40 to 84 feet they usually need approval by the planning commission and the board of supervisors those changes don't
8:54 am
currently require the voters to approve it prop b has height limits in effect unless the city voters approve the height limit any ballot question to there those must specific the proposed height limits in you vote yes. you want to prevent the city from port property to exceed the heightened limits unless the city voters have approved the vote limit increase in you vote no. you don't want to make the change. i'm here with lewis former city attorney and proponent of prop b 82 >> thank you. >> and joined by on opponent of the measure thank you. i'd like to start with opening comments that from each of you ms. renee your opening
8:55 am
statement. thank youo the league. i think we all agree the san francisco waterfront is a truly special place. and if you do we're asking the voters to, yes on b and, yes open b is support by is sierra club 78s be neighborhood alliance and affordable housing alliance and others citizens. prop b is simple and scared u straightforward it says waterfront height limits should be enforced and when the planner of the ports want to exceed those limits they should put the question to the voters. the yes on b campaign is really part of the out growth full only 8 washington we'll have a high-rise twice the size of the old embarcadero freeway and
8:56 am
fortunately over 67 of the voters said no, we don't want a wall on of the or high towers but proposition g or b says if the planners seek to exceed the height limits then the voters have a changing chance to say yes or no it's a vote and choice by the voters and mr. valenzuela 10 a statement >> thank you to the league for having you will say here today first of all, i'm a volunteer in and out a developer no are developers are involved in our support of the no on b campaign we're a coalition of community activists my environmentalists and small property owner and housing advocates. we're in the middle of our greatest affordability in san francisco and the problem with prop b is takes the complexities
8:57 am
of the balance and boils it down this is a concern we should be discussing how to build more affordable housing but we are talking heights limitsthanasia that's an important discussion but it leaves out the public benefits that may come out of the progress one or two tall buildings may gives a significant amount of affordable housing this proposition could kill 6 hundred affordable housing units and 20 millions of housing fees and cause significant problems for the ports so far as developing and fixing the problems with the port lands. we're in the enforcement of the nova valley club and the
8:58 am
indemnification and a host of others >> mr. valenzuela 10 bring up the perspectives of job how do you feel about that. >> there are 3 issues that were brought up first, the ballot box planning no, it isn't if the planners don't exceed the height limits no problem only if they do if you look at san francisco history since 19th street 68 when the bureau ton act there's been 18 other ballot measures effecting the front the ball was effected and the hunters point shipyard we're talking about port property that is owned by the public. and if you take a look at port property it's held in public trust and the housing agreement
8:59 am
is a red herring because as a matter of fact, if port property is held in publicly trust you can't build housing there and number 3 if that were done there's nothing in prop b that says you can't have a project being approved so the howard's altering argument is truly a red herring and we've seen the kind of housing the port as proposed high-rise luxury condo and now they're saying only building low income housing a i'd like to see it and b that's not going to happen >> mr. valenzuela 10 any comments. >> yes. the housing is not a red herring, in fact, if you look at what the port is considering and the project in the pipeline if you follow the
9:00 am
draft sheets that's inclusionary housing on site the problem is this is getting boiled down to if the voters like it that's great but developers can come to the ballot box with a specific or gentle thought and in the 0 voters sigh yes, no chance for mitigation under sequa or the planning process to hopefully get parts for example, an increase in affordable housing in exchange for heights when it the park going to be developed at the front of the process or backdoor back is the affordable housing going to be done in the beginning or at the at the end e end so there's quite a few of the challenges we're not talking about the of her building or them changing their bulk
