know that going up 6 flights of stairs for me a hall i get winded but can you imagine for people that mobility issues. we've heard from the representatives from the owners that apparently says that the owners are on board we've heard from the dbi and the department of public health of the various issues and the different issues that each agency faces. i'll ask this committee to work with those bodies and you can much of this has to do with financing and low cost loans that gives the initiative but the initiative would be to improve the quality of life of people that are living in s r os that are paying a majority of their fund in rent
12:01 am
>> thank you. i'm larry i want to show you a certificate on may hopefully, people will read the essential it's talks about the nonprofits how some of the s rorss are nonprofit but in 89 i got a thing on my angle i have a disability and walking up and down those stairs is terrible if you don't have an elevator this is even more harmful for us inform this is an occasion the 3 items it's pride month we need to make sure that s r o housing is humanity we're building up
12:02 am
high-rise all over san francisco but people in the s r o are left out that's housing that i really wish our president would do something with hud is there a reason that the barriers its elevating us harassment and bullyinging we're the new immigrants that no one dealings deals with immigrants in this city it's time we really have more coming out and dealing with the s r o tenants they won't come here. but have the elevator moments to get things on the table. thank you >> is there any additional public comment? okay seeing none, public comment is closed supervisor kim >> thank you. i'll just make a couple of
12:03 am
concluding remarks i appreciate all our tenants and advocates for come on here actually upper the ones that highlighted the issue and bring it to the forefront. i know this is something that's been going on for years we we hear about from individual residents it's frustrating and i want to appreciate our departments dbi and the dph and the mayor's office of the sdaths. i think it's clear from this meeting? a complicated issue unlike public housing we had jurisdiction and the authority to replace the elevators with this it's more mud he would we're not the owners but we contract up to one hundred percent of those buildings and use city funds to keep those
12:04 am
buildings affordable for resident we place into housing. so i think there are a couple of layers that should make the city interested in finding solutions for this complicated issues. so looking forward to the recommendations is from dbi. and second interested in working with dbi to establish a financial vehicle for more thantion whether a loan or urging the master lease to have the owners pay the city back over time for the elevator replacements that's clearly needed now and second i'm interested in utilizing the feasibility studies that's something that came up from owners s r o hotel owners we've heard even though they know the elevator needs to be fixed they're not sure what the best
12:05 am
way to do that so helping with the feasibility they'll, the costs and how they'll partner with the city would be something that's extremely helpful and finally with both dph and i know s h h is not here. working on including a provision in the future master leases around the owners establishing and funding a capital respectfully yours, reserve so in the future they have the capacity to deal with modernization and maintenance and something around maintenance at the time noted enforceable through dbi but enforceable through the contract itself. and looking at ways we can partner with this way with private property owners we need to credit incentives and carrots both in place the sticks through the master lease and carrots
12:06 am
through a financial vehicle or feasibility study etc. so really looking forward to working with the department and advocates and tenants to make sure we find the real solutions we know it impacts the life and safety of our residents >> thank you supervisor kim and keeping us - this issue front and center. colleagues would you like to file this or continue with the to the call of the chair >> we'll take that without objection. >> madam clerk we'll go back to item one do we need to recall that. >> i'll recall it item one is an ordinance amending the planning code for the calculations of the code. >> okay. so colleagues we've had a chance to consultant with the city attorney to get clarity around the language so just to provide clarity we're basically, what
12:07 am
the legislation does it if the demonstration is at least 20 percent then there's had a control and it's in the areas of the city where the density is limit by lot and size there's two types of projects there's our projects that have some sort of tax credit or tax exemption bond financing and projects that are simply private developments that comply with the inclusionary housing organized. thomas a. swift's electric rifle as it's written any project that has public money in it one of the various forms then the sky is the limit in terms of how the stake is up to 50 percent they can have the 50 percent count against the density limits for projects that are purely private
12:08 am
projects inclusionary it was drafted to say that up to 20 percent and we've been informed up to 25 percent and rational being we want to make sure it's permanently enforceable in our nexus study goes up to 25 percent so that's why it was drafted that way so the goal to get people up to 25 percent and whether or not there's funding then the legislation will allow you to go up to 25 percent and take advantage of the bonus or money to go higher. that's the clarification we've received. i'll propose an amendment on page 4 i believe lines 68 and 9 where it says 20 percent to change that to 25 percent per the nexus study and the second
12:09 am
reference on page 9 we need to add in the words up to 25 percent. so on page 4 line of it will read up to a maximum of 25 percent and on page 9 excuse me. line 9 it will read and committing to up to 25 percent on site units. so those are the two amendments understand those are not substantive amendments >> you can make those amendments and pass it up. >> thank you, mr. gibner and knowles thank you supervisor kim for raising that question. >> you can't can i ask a question. thanks for all the work and clarifying that question i want to make sure with the city attorney i've heard earlier so for any units that are excluded
12:10 am
we'll be able to insure long term fablts >> that's correct. one of the things when we talk about our citywide goals the real big projects are the subject of demonstrate agreements and under state law you can negotiate look over of different things that are not part of this legislation but negotiated developments >> thank you for your work. >> thank you, supervisor. >> so could i have - i mean, i'll make a motion to adapt the amendments as described. can we take that without objection? we'll take that without objection. a adapted can i have a motion to forward item one to the full board with positive recommendations >> so moved. >> without objection colleagues, i appreciate it. >> no further comments. >> we had public comment on the
12:11 am
