with the tenants. the project sponsor mentioned 8 tenants total displacement lost i disagree with that, i think there will be more tenants lost and don't believe that the i believe that the market has con transacted die to the downturn of the economic placate but it's coming back the journals and perils have indicated this contraction that the project sponsor is describing happened across the country and the industry but has documented it's coming back and i believe that definitely to be the case.

allowing office and landmarks is for its to retrofit but this market is through the economic downturn so that isn't the spirit of code it isn't the spirit of landmarked legislation. i agree there, there has been an loophole and i look forward to closing that loophole to modify this parking lot part of the code and critiquing create a carrot that the building developers will create for pdr space. i've expressed my discomfortable public library and prifg with the thought of occasional obligating the previous office

space we're not talking about one building ladies and gentlemen, but a total of 15 and so the approach here is one of surgical precision you can't take a sledgehammer to cover everything. i do believe the building is beautiful and deserves landmark states, however, the decision is not about the designation of the building. i know it's the project sponsors thought to convert this to office space and many of the folks came into the public comment referenced we're building office space. should decision today sets the important precedence. by i like about san francisco among the small neighborhoods

there's a dedicated design station and this design center made me proud high-end goods but are partnering with folks that are blue-collar workers and more importantly employing them a that's important to our economy in the city we can strike a balance to support of the maintenance of the buildings but can't do that and go about doing that by displaying long term tenants and liking like i said eating the entire pdr building i know it's a beautiful landmark building but i'm not comfortable in forwarding that so i want to if at you will impossible join

me in tabling this item >> (inaudible). >> i can speak on 3. >> tabling or continue to the call of the chair. >> continue to the to the call of the chair i've put in language for the amendments late in the game. i introduced those interim zoning controls in response from the concerns from the potential of conversion of the office space in the pdr as a result of the landmark resolution this will expose a requirement for any building that is in the pdr one d and g zoning district it pay attentions to that of

displacement for pdr tenants that require a tenant relocation plan as of component of conditional use requirement this is an addressed layer for the certainty in an uncertain area like our former anywhere described this is a continued pull from property owners and tenants this on a commercial front as opposed to a residential. i have two amendments to the resolution that i understand are non-substantive the first one is on page 3 and in the further resolve closing clause i'm going to change for the time for address time to see whether or not their office space was

abandoned additionally, the second amendment is the counterfeiting applies only to landmark buildings so colleagues, i ask you support those are two amendments today so we can have a robust public process in place for pdr spaces. it's important to note that the conditional use will note that all the stakeholders will have a say but the conversation the conversion of buildings into office space so i make a motion to amend >> ; right with respect to item 4 supervisor cohen has made a motion. >> actually, i'm happy to accept this are those the amendments that were presented by the gentleman for the landmark for one hundred and 80 days. >> we'll take that without objection. those are adapted to

item 4 and then schoen your intent to move item 4 to the full board with positive recommendation? >> no. >> oh, item 4 and yes with positive recommendation. >> two motions on the table for item 3 motion by cohen to continue the item to the to the call of the chair and with respect to item 4 a motion by supervisor cohen to move the item to the full board of supervisors with full recommendation i'm happy to support both motions supervisor kim. >> so with respect to the item 3 to the call of the chair we'll take that without objection. and went to the motion to move item 4 to the feedback full board with recommendation we'll take that without objection.. >> great, thank you.

thank you very much. madam clerk call item 5 >> item 5 is on ordinance e-mailed the code forever the rental for the seismic retrofit. >> okay. we'll wait for the room to clear.

okay. i i guess we have a popular item coming up. (laughter) imagine that madam clerk you've called item 5 correct >> want me to call it again and item 5 is co-sponsored by the mayor and myself. >> good afternoon patrick for the city i want to thank you all again over the last two years we've take the opportunity great steps to make san francisco safer we passed the retrofit

ordinance last year just to remind you this protects 60 thousand people in the city and 7 thousand local workers that are employed we have legislation that established legislation for poorer people and gives low interest loans this is the same effort that takes a specific change to the rent owners and amends it for tenants that are unable to park in their parking spaces only when a mandatory parking issue. it provides a clear mechanism for the landlord to sever parking services during the retrofit and this is unclear we have been working with the

tenant activist community to come up with a fair and balanced framework if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them and as well as the director of the rent board is here as well >> thank you, sir. did you have anything to add or are you here for questions >> terrifically colleagues if no questions or comments we'll open open this up for public comment on item 5. come on up >> good afternoon supervisor i'm charley representing the san francisco apartment association we've supportive of this legislation and thank you, supervisor wiener for your leadership as well as supervisor chiu and mayor ed lee. and as well as pacific with the earthquake safety implementation committee. if there's any comment i believe that a 10 percent reduction is

more equal to the partially and in the beginning of this legislation a 10 percent legislation was the number takes into consideration around but we're nevertheless, in support of the protective we believe it has circulate for an issue and many of the members are starting hair seismic work now we're supportive of this >> thank you very much. is there any additional public comment on item 5. seeing none, public comment is closed. okay. colleagues if there's no comments or questions can you have a motion to move item 5 to the full board with positive recommendation. we'll take that without objection.. okay we'll take that without objection. that will be the order madam clerk, any other

business before this commission? >> there's no further business. >> all right. then we're adjourned. (clapping.) ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ i think we have more companies anywhere in the united states it's at the amazing statement we're not trying to be flashy or shocking just trying to create

>> hi. welcome to san francisco. stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. let's look at common earthquake myths. >> we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. we have 3 guest today. we have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. i want to talk

about urban myths. what do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance? >> he's sleeping during those earthquakes? >> have you noticed him take any special? >> no. he sleeps right through them. there is no truth that i'm aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. >> you hear the myth all the time. suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something >> i hear they are aware of small vibrations. but yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. >> today is a spectacular day in san francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. is this

earthquake weather? >> no. not that i have heard of. no such thing. >> there is no such thing. >> we are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. there is no relationship. i have heard it's hot or cold weather or rain. i'm not sure which is the myth. >> how about time of day? >> yes. it happens when it's least convenient. when it happens people say we were lucky and when they don't. it's terrible timing. it's never a good time for an earthquake. >> but we are going to have one. >> how about the ground swallowing people into the ground? >> like the earth that

collapsed? it's not like the tv shows. >> the earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but it's not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes. >> it's not going anywhere. we are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. >> southern california is moving north. it's coming up from the south to the north. >> you would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. maybe millions of years from now, part of los

angeles will be in the bay area. >> for better or worse. >> yes. >> this is a tough question. >> those other ones weren't tough. >> this is a really easy challenge. are the smaller ones less stress? >> yes. the amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. >> i think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4.7. >> so small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future? >> not anyway that you can count on. >> i have heard that buildings in san francisco are on rollers

and isolated? >> it's not true. it's a conventional foundation like almost all the circumstances buildings in san francisco. >> the trans-america was built way before. it's a pretty conventional foundation design. >> i have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. is there anything of value to that ? >> yes, if you are in your room. you should drop, cover and hold onto something. if you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. if you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, it's not a bad place to be. >> the reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground

shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. you are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. you are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. >> you want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. >> where can i buy a richter scale? >> mr. richter is selling it. we are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. they are not available. it's a rather complex. >> in fact we don't even use the richter scale anymore. we use a moment magnitude. the richter scale was early technology. >> probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta

earthquake so everything is fine. is that true ? >> loma prieta was different. the ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. so anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. >> we are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to san francisco and a fault totally independent. >> much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. >> so people who were here in '89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we

would have. 10 percent isn't really the threshold of damage. when you triple it you cross that line. it's much more damage in earthquake. >> i want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for >> rise please for the pledge of allegiance. >> mr. president, i would like to call the roll, please? >> please do. >> president mazzucco? >> present. >> vice president turman? >> here. >> commissioner marshal? >> here. >> commissioner dejesus is en route. >> commissioner loftus?
