7:30 am
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
7:31 am
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
7:32 am
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
7:33 am
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
7:34 am
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
7:35 am
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
7:36 am
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?
7:37 am
>> 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.
