around housing it's a huge issue it's wuch to see the leadership of the supervisor campos in helping san francisco once again to be a leader in housing discrimination protection we saw it before in the domestic partnership ordinance and have seen it in san francisco response to the hiv. >> in terms of employment we need more jobs and hate ashbury young people youngest soldiers of angels that's why i intend intend to help the young for them for them what happened to them i think we have to engage

in a more open alternatives to make this a job opening for everyone in time and in plays in the occasions everywhere everywhere everywhere. >> thank you. next speaker. good afternoon, supervisors bryan with the aids housing alliances i'm here to ask you to support this it was born out of a deep concern about the displace of employment in san francisco and we currently live in a system where oneself within these wealthy and access to income concerns ones housing in san francisco and those hower not having the opportunities get disunderstated they've built the passage of human rights we enjoy those pioneers are being put in

areas they don't enjoy the same civil privileges our denominations that policymakers have voted for in someways impacts people's ability to little in san francisco whether voting for the ellis act or other policy measures so i building firmly this will move civil rights for lgbt people regardless of their socioeconomic status they enjoy the same protection just like the equal ordinance benefits when we get those major billion dollars corporations that build prospers when we get them to change their policies we can ask them do you protect people based

on gender they'll change their policies. eaten after we get the corporations in advance we can go back to congress and create the political cover to include the sexual orientation in our genders >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, i'm janey i'm a staff attorney for lesbian rights i want to thank supervisor wiener and the committee for hearing it this proposal makes clear that housing discrimination in lbtd is nationwide it should be eradicated the housing criticize in this city displaces lgbt people from california and in

the absence of federal fair housing protection it often pushes them into the 29 states where sexual orientation is on the based on of the gender it's important for the lc o r to make clear that housing fairness is a priority and to move the national conversation forward on this issue per this ordinance makes project sponsors think about the gaps for tenants and buyers realize their empowered to address them often asking a question makes it awareness and companies often have been leader n in providing the benefits for benefits and this ordinance has a possibility to hem change the confidence across the country

about the need for federal housing for lgbt folks we're aware of this problem but don't have enough data so to collect data on how pervasive the step is to help make this awareness outside of san francisco. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, supervisors i'm rebecca i'm the executive director of lgbt community center heigl i'll hear to encourage our support we run the first economic development problem for the lgbt community and one of the things we know that even with the protection against discrimination in place there continues to be discriminates here in san francisco and can only imagine the impact across the country

were there not protections around the sex all priority and support for small business owners and financial capacity building for individuals and families we know there are a challenge faced by lgbt people trying to find housing and jobs here in san francisco we have the nation's best laws in asking the businesses to take on affirmative stand not only impacts the rest of the country but makes the companies think about their policies and what they're doing here in san francisco and make sure they provide access to the lgbt community here in san francisco we're strongly in support for this in san francisco and for the groundbreaking work in the country. >> thank you very much. next speaker.

>> good afternoon. i'm here from the human rights commission on behalf of the executive director teresa a sparks thank you for hearing this issue. >> thank you supervisor campos for emphasis leadership the human rights commission has advised it's petition on the legislation we believe this will have a positive impact on the lgbt community madam clerk, any announcements? with the simple mechanism that allows for the critical information that is missing if the national discourse on housing discrimination. as noted in our previous discussions around the issue roughly 29 percent which the complainants filed in the last fiscal year were filed on the basis of sex all identified and orientation we believe this allows us to contribute in a

meaningful way lowering for the protections federally >> thank you very much. is there any additional public comment on item 2 seeing none, public comment is closed. okay supervisor campos you mentioned that you made amendments any additional amendments today >> we have a substitute if i can ask carolyn gus map. >> we submitted that on july 28th. >> okay. so no further amendments. >> that's been incorporated. >> thank you to the public and supervisors this is very common sense piece of legislation that will provide valuable information to the community to the public and i think it's a

great thing so thank you for doing it supervisor no is there any additional public comment can i have a motion to forward this to the full board as a positive recommendation we'll take that without objection. >> thank you. okay >> thank you we're joined by supervisor tang for the next item madam clerk call item 3. >> item 3 is an ordinance amending the building code for the procedure for the vacant or abandoned storefronts. >> supervisor tang. >> thank you for entertaining this item the vacant commercial store front and registration fee this builds upon a recommendation that we have captured residential vacancies. however, what we noticed it that since the legislation is started we've not been able to collect the information on the store

front especially on the ground floor with residential units above thank you for being here they've started to collect the vacancy data in 2013 and according to one of the recent completed survey accounts that's one hundred and 80 spaces vacant within the neighborhood commercial district and they're vacant over a year, however, only about 7 of them were in the vacant registry in our sunset district we had 60 vacant store commercial front with resident above and we wanted to bring forward this protective to capture this leverage not to punish individuals and property owners but to populate us to

help and assist merchants that are looking for haven't storefronts and property owners especially merchant that come and occupy their is that a we hope to do through the legislation we have two different timelines one is within thirty days of vacancy coming on and on online they must register with the building inspection and they must secure their commercial storefronts preventing trespassers and rove graffiti and maintain insurance for their store front as dbi says necessary and within 2 hundred and thirty days we've discussed this with our shoulders the owners of vacant store front will rent their

commercial store front or pay a fee that would include them on the registry that is the same as currently in the program we allow for an exemption so if a project sponsor demonstrates a good faith effort they've been working with a broker we allow for an exemption for that and we allow for a tenant that comes in and applies for a pilot like a conditional use permit we allow for that we hope this will be beneficiary or beneficial is the square footage the prior use as well as the go contract phone number for that vacancy so we hope this will help as it's incorporated into the store front database i want to thank

everyone especially the deniable and the office of economic workforce development and the small business owner and the various associations that shared their feedback the realtors and permeate associations. we have a quorum i know we have several of our department representatives here i want to give them an opportunity to speak that as well >> thank you very much. >> if there are no questions from colleagues. >> mr. reviewing 0. >> hello bill strong with the department of building inspection yes. the department has been working closely with the supervisor and we're working to expand the scope beyond the that residential buildings to include the commercial space as well we're anxious to get going

thank you. >> thank you, mr. reviewing 0. >> good afternoon, supervisors todd director of oewd i want to thank the supervisor to for her work and her team as well as dbi and it's depth i'm sure you're aware of dw b supports our skwek as it is related to vacancies in our incremental corridors we have a number of tools to help with that from target business transmission to our store front program to help tenants to relocate into those spaces. preponderance of evidence there are a number of challenges and we think this legislation helped to address this legislation particularly the contract information is critical oftentimes we're ready to go and help bring in a new tenant or business but we don't have the

contract so having the contract as well as the history and the square footage is critical, and, secondly, having the information flow through the store front access it will further increase the legislatively of interest. we think the free fee is an added incentive to lewis lease the spaces and finally we think this proposal provides a good balance for the type of, you know, interest we have in wanting to fill the spaces as well as make sure we're doing it in a way that's conscious as well if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> mr. reviewing 0 commenting has a question. >> thank you by the way, i fully support this legislation and the vacancies we talked about when i first started in

the attached and mid-market i was curious i know that one of the challenges around this type of legislation is the staffing from dbi and there's push back to see if we have the capacity to support this registry i'm curious about the conversation around that. >> what bill and dbi i'll let the representatives speak to that but oewd we feel confident in the amount of staffing as well as having the so far front database up and running we're confident. >> yes. supervisors that conversation has begun on as a regular part especially with the building boom and the department having quite a few of the programs that we're involved in

but with the addition from the supervisors of extending the 2 hundred and 70 days we felt this give us a little more ample time to be responsive in terms of identifying where the commercial spaces are you introduced legislation like this sometime ago we had a discussion about this and part of the thinking at that time, it will take enforcement hours for inspectors to keep up with this we've been adding staff with the economy as well so i think we're at a point especially we get help from the small business offices in the way of community outreach to make people aware of maybe we

can strike the balance between the market forces who's able to lease and rent and when and trying to make sure we provide opportunity for new businesses. >> just to clarify that i remember that one of the shortfalls in the vacancy registry was the project sponsors low response you, you were lenient so do you feel this will be different this time run around. >> for one thing the overall vacant buildings has dropped to two hundred and 50 thanks to the market dynamic that's underway the last time i looked at it was still 3 hundred buildings

without oifgs all the vacancy building if oewd has identified one hundred and 80 and 7 are on the dbi list obviously we have some that have not about this identified but overall the advantage with this legislation we'll capture into a residential and commercial and have a better picture and thank you very much. >> good afternoon, supervisors regina the director of the office of the small business commission. in your packet you have a letter from the small business commission it heard the item on may 5th and voted unanimously to recommend you approve the legislation 7 to zero. and really want to extend their appreciation to supervisor tang and the department of building

inspection i think that supervisor kim we have a joint discussion and at this time we really didn't have an economic stick to be able to help with the that the commission was interested to offer in developing some kind of registrations we have that with the store front sf to help property owners fill their spaces in the a good time and encourage you to approve and thank you supervisor tang >> thank you. okay. so supervisors any other presentations >> i don't think if there's other representatives so - >> at this point we'll open up item 3 for. is there any public comment?

please come forward >> i was in japan center for 4 hours you may not building i put something in my pocket what was discovered i mean in our chinese philosophical it is called 8 square and 9 fuse off the land construction. and i think the way american life the way of american economic internal waves as a people will lead a plain and busy rife i don't think that jorge worries about the money really not worry about it too much thank you >> thank you, ms. blood.

>> good afternoon karen the executive director with the my own scare business we represent property owners to keep the areas clean our organization has not taken a position i have a question as the executive director on the outset it's a great thing we've spending our resources to clean up the graffiti and what have you so it can be a nuisance i think some of our questions i have 3 profiler number one i know it talks about store front vacancies are you addressing those above ground some have been vacant. >> if you want to continue. >> do all the questions great. number 2 i believe i read it

allows you to take a year but we have a project that is longer than that. and then number 3 i know there's items on the questionnaire you mentioned they have to list the prior use this was of concern to some property owners buildings change use and how is that information used and a question about the a.d. of the bathrooms >> thank you. >> next speaker >> my name is beginning i example for a coalition development group to fill vacant

prospers around the excelsior corridor we have a vacancy rate around 13 percent of most property owners are responsible and actually work to lease their space some leave their properties abandoned for years this contributes to the safety concerns run around the corridor we see this as an important legislation to help community serving businesses i want to submit a letter we hope to see this unanimous support. >> is there any additional public comment on item 3 who hadn't spoken sorry you've spoken already. other people i respect yeah, so

seeing none. supervisor tang >> great thank you supervisor wiener just to answer a couple of questions number one was a question is this legislation to cover the unit above actually this legislation was to address the issue where we were not capturing information on the ground floor so the vacant ordinances in supervisor chiu was to cover all aspects of the building whether it's ground floor, above units all of that. the second question regarding the year to make improvements on page 3 line 14 our stunt was to we we said along theres a valid permit for the construction and they complete that within one year of the irrational permit we'll allow for the leeway we want to make sure that people take out permits and wait five or six years i understand sometimes their hiccups with the

permitting process so for that i don't know if the city attorney can address those issues but our intent to make sure we account for people that have a permit that is valid and taking action and not just sitting on it. i don't know, there there if there's a way to clarify the language >> john gibner, deputy city attorney i think we could i'm not sure exactly i can't come up with the words off the top of my head but we can prepare an amendment when it goes to the board to work with you over the next week to make it happen. >> and the third question about the perspire use and how the information is used we found that having this information in a database like sf a lot of times small business owners when they're looking for a space maybe the previous use was a

restaurant so do i need to go and get another conditional use permit that's one example but that is essentially what we want to use it for a tool for the people who are coming in and looking for vacant space so what kind of permits they need and ada we're not including information in that so maybe that's a prior version but we're aware of the challenges if we put the information out there we wanted to critical pieces for people. i hope that addresses some of your concerns. with that, i wanted to before we take any action you have the legislation before you but there a couple of amendments i want to record package 4 line 11 we're

trying to provide a contact phone number four on the commercial shop owner and state the most legal use of the store front and the square footage of the store front on same package 4 line 16 through 17 and the language unless the director has issued a notice to register under the section in which case the registration fee should be die 2 hundred and 75 days after the notice and adding the words if required by section 8. with that, i'd like to if there are no questions i want to urge my colleagues to support this item to the full board >> supervisor kim. >> i was going to make a motion to accept the amendments. >> we'll take those amendments

supervisor cohen without objection. >> the amendments are adapted can i have a motion to have this to the full board that will be the order. thank you >> madam clerk can you please call items 4 to 5 together. >> item 4 is a resolution adapting economical community recommended to the airport terminal one program and item 5 is an ordinance waving our contracts and procures for the airport terminal one project. >> kathy wagner from the airport is here to talk about items 4 to 5. >> thank you kathy with the san francisco airport the airport is seeking our approval to adjust the section selection process for 2 terminal
