meeting next week they have looking at funding for the middle-income families housing authority is will include tax credits for income and expansion of welfare exemption for the affordable housing projects and the development of the catalyst fund and capital funding for and an down payment for this program. the subcommittees will conclude with recommendations by july and our final recommendation we'll be back before the commissions late summer. that concludes my presentation. if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them and again, the mayor's office is here as well >> let's take public comment first is there any public comment on this item and okay.

seeing none, public comment is closed. i want to thank you for this memo it brings a lot of clarity to a very spiritually body of work this work is clearly mayor ed lee very sponsor or important to the city by confusing sometimes so with respect to the executive directive itself this is good and encouraged the hiring coming up and encouraged around the board policies. it's also helpful to hear the updates on the working groups i know it could go in any different directions by it's encouraging for the commission to hear about the ideas before they come to us. commissioner antonini >> you know i have a couple of questions and also some comments

liz first one on number 8 of task one. concurrent review one of the things builders tell me is a constant complaint in san francisco there's a linear approval process after we've approved it they have to wait to for one and fire has to finish my so on so there's no other jurisdictions that do it should be across the board it's difficult but we most of housing we have 80 percent under even the best of circumstances 70 percent is macarthur housing we don't build inclusionary until the market rate is tied together so in my opinion is to do that, you know, as soon as possible on

all projects >> part of the rolls of the obama buds man is to work with dpw and the event e fire department so create a policy that make senses focusing on affordable housing projects but a lot of those principles carry forward it's champing to see the week spots through the planning process where a project can change and it didn't make sense to review a project if there's major changes to rereview so finding the right spot to enable the most efficient use of everyone's time. >> i'm thinking about ones that's been through planning and been approved and going through the other approvals they need to have and the other question i

have on the maintenance of illegal units are there any considerations given to the fact it if you purchased some units from someone else who established the illegal unit it would seem like the new owner should have no more discretion on a lot to keep the unit and the other comment i hope the group talked about to neighborhoods to find out that not only liveability of the illegal unit but once the density is lout in the building that's right a lot of complaint they don't want you tell units thrown up or legalized in most instances and also the desires of the neighborhoods that's that my success comment. on the merging of units it does

have to be 3 legal unit before it i can see in but is there any difference given to unit that are all ownership unit like 3 condos they've been owner occupied our clarifications include those are factor in in determining whether or not to allow the merger purpose talking about rental unit if they're not rental do they fall under the control >> their rental their ownership didn't effect the process it can weigh into the planning commission consideration the big distinction i'm trying to highlight in the past we we have two groupings the units considered democratically not you affordable and the units

below the metric are not effected by directive they've needed a may or may not meeting and there's a bunch of code finding that's not effected what changed the result of the mayors executive directive it inadvertently took away the administrator review of the democratically units those units are come back to a staff level review and keep them there so the renters and ownership will remain for the projects and those are factors for the commission to consider. >> finally the dial concept is a very good one to help us address the need for middle income unit i'm throwing out

thirty ferries affordable but, you know, as many of the groups where we have two wage owners oftentimes city employees where two wage earners are not not working for the city but kaptd qualify that will help us with the need for affordable housing. >> commissioner moore. >> thank you for the presentation it helps me to understand the products themselves are asking us questions but if there's a summary where that someone would get the information on the progress is helpful there are many, many questions about the dire nature of the situation i couldn't be as eloquent i'm

having a hard time distinguishing between dial and dash and how they layer and apply they can be on acronym somewhere to bring it to other people's attention would be great they sound similar and there's a lot of room for miss trert and you it their independent yet effective measures to layer the complicated i'd like greatly appreciate that. >> thank you. >> thank you, commissioners commissioners, if there's nothing further we'll move ton 0 general public comment time, members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission except agenda items. with respect to agenda items, opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached in the

you under our regular calendar for the next case at the 605 indiana street a consideration of an in kind agreement. >> good afternoon from the plaintiff i manage the department implementation team to help deliver the infrastructure that envisioned from our area plan we do that there working with project sponsors to verify in kind agreements we bring for your approval of the waiver of the impact fees before i turn it over to my colleague i want to take a few brief minutes to overview the process we have 3 of them coming to you within the next 3 months so you're going to be seeing a lot of it and at

this point make sure you understand the process. we look at the in kind agreements as a mechanism to get the improvements for streetscapes and infrastructure it's the way to envision vesting with the community and go through a cheaper way to get those built. technically they're an impact fee waiver for the dick developer they get the value for the improvements and pace an lessor amount of the impact fees and just to be clear in order to get the consider for the in kind agreement they have to go bovdz the project if it's a project

requirement no impact fee. so we make our determinations is that the commission policy on in kind agreements that the commission passed i think in september needing and vulnerable there's two steps that have impact fees it must be public infrastructure and afford by the process and money available in the impact fees. what

>> before you and i'm happy to answer any questions you have about the impact agreement. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners lisa department staff it's a proposal the project sponsor at the 650 indiana street to enter into an agreement for a plaza in exchange for $150,000 blus plus the project was approved by the commission at the first hearing.

it passed the resolution supporting an impact fee waiver of one thousand plus, however, because the subsequent review several changes were made and there's the construction costs therefore the sponsor wants a waiver of an additional amount for $850,000 contingent upon the approval of entire amount i'm submitting the change. and in particular i want to call your attention to page 2 amended the motion to move that the commission herb authorizes the impact fee for 650 indiana in

the amount of $500,000 plus be it resolved the additional amount for a total of 8 hundred and 50 thousand in fees waved contingent will b upon a positive recommendation. if the eastern neighborhood fee didn't recommend the fee waiver the total will revert to $100,000 plus. number 6 which describes the and a half of the design changes made during the design process during the city's feedback the sponsor will talk about this further but it the dead end into a public open space called the dog patch plaza it will focus on public art and art inhabits the

retail space on the corner will open into the plaza and house a cafe business that focuses on arts. that's located with in the dog patch area they've impressed a desire for other organizations in the area are it's across the street from the park and because of it's location it provide a unique opportunities for 19th street for the vulnerable crane on the waterfront it will help streetscape conditions and it's a key walking and biking street that leads to the corridor and the caltrain station. the project sponsors indicated they'll be responsible for the proposed improvements and identified many arrangements the

first to the green katrero and dog patch neighborhood it's a nonprofit marijuana has been supportive. the revenues that are created would cover the maintenance of the dog patch plaza. the process is the next stage in the formation is expected to happen this summer if that doesn't pass the arts cafe and the maintenance will be written into the lease and their rent lowered an obligation this will create. finally the sponsor has expressed interests in the plaza program if it passes. if they go this route the sponsors are designate the maintenance. the sponsor as affirmed under

the scenarios the city will not be responsible for the maintenance and committed to findings a tenant through art and building events. the planning department dpw and the city attorney's office have reviewed the maintenance plan in addition to the proper design and construction costs and the in kind agreement and have provided several round of feedback. the building has included the amount and placement of and the loading zone for the industrial businesses and stormwater capture and treatment. the proposed plaza has been reviewed and discussed at a number of meetings in the eastern cac that recommended the fee waiver and the arts commission design committee to approve the design in january.

they've presented the proposed plaza and have developed is an advisory committee for local organizations. the planning department has received 34 letters and postcards supporting the project. further staff finds the proposal is in lines with the specified policy ♪ kind agreements. the central water plan is an additional open space needed and it cites other popping to meet the need. per the eligibility the plazas will quality as an open space project that is an eligible element. the fund has not been achieved in the neighborhoods the 2013 report projects $3 million for over the next 5 years of which

$7.5 million have in the been allocated it won't take away other fund from projects. finally the project presented an improvement package to coincide with the indiana project and the engineers and designers are all right. working on this and the adaptive has under gotten the project and the department recommends the approval the sponsor is asking for for the approval of the waiver recommend by eastern cac in february as well as additional higher amount of 8 hundred and 50 thousand conditional on the cac providing other seat belts if you have any

questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> project sponsor. good afternoon, commissioners michael i'm a wearing two hats principle at the build inc. and the project sponsor and executive director of our nonprofit doing the community design basis work. i have an updated budget as well i wanted to pass out if there's a chance to the commissioners. thank you. i thought i'd just speak a little bit up and go through the design and viciously on the plaza and end up on the maintenance and budget since the request is for the fee waiver. on high level it was created for

the express purpose of doing public-private support this is our are first, if you will, by the time at that project we're doing the this project this is the benefit for the first in the state dedicated to the public realm in mixed use neighborhoods we're excited about the capital project and a long term maintenance stream first time in san francisco i think. we have phone number on the front of our slides the postcards we did we set up a fake plaza and had people come and visit and a lot of the cards we're excited about this becoming a civic space. this slide is something i know is important to point out when i

was here two weeks we briefly talked about this what's excited about the potential plaza site the amazing criterion coffee park it might create 19th street becoming a slow street corridor this relationship never occurred to us until we looked down and saw crane coffee park if we are unavailable able to do the dog patch plaza you'll have the west street park on 19th street and end up and a at the many park on the port property. we're talking with accountability owners on 19th street for significant improvements. this could be a signature piece on the viewing detaching neighborhood. this is curling a dead end

street leading up to the 280 freeway our site on the right. and this is just anothers prospective take the opportunity from the corner we're adjacent to that rec and park property. so the concept of the plaza is born out of the idea of creating a pocket plaza that has flexible use and the outdoor art gallery. detaching has a long history of artists working and living in the neighborhood we wanted to embrace this and give them a permanent plays this is the rocket ship and the crane is the group is on our advisory board we hope to bring this to those to the plaza. there are 3 limousines the imply

the public right-of-way and the hard faced plaza and there's green to soften the space that would be redeployed and a large bleach and seating area on a day you lived set around the sun is warm and in san francisco terms and then the landscape embankment to prove the vegetation in cooperation with caltrain. it is the layout we've worked out the the city partners the most important thing on the left is an interesting zone that's a loading zone for the pressing could warehouse during the operating hours a ball is mratd

placed at the end and an edge for keeping people away from the construction area it is a compromise that helps to exist i was nervous about talking about this to the owner he embraced the project and has the tools for rent business he understand the heavy rental businesses are leaving the city but have a short time tools for rent business and this may be the launch of that we may have a chance to turn this doorway into a shop and having
