8:06 pm
primarily resident tax fee and another thing to have the trust implementation including a citywide advisory committee with councils underneath it. in addition, we're looking to insure that 33 percent affordability in the central selma and all feature plans a housing annual strategy and displacement patrol officers controls in the south of market. finally, we're be looking at the development impact fees for the nonprofits, community benefits fees and allowing second floor nonprofit office in the commercial district and a policy to provide ground floor retail when we public library finance that project. another long term discussion as a shared commitment. as part of the current mayor's office of housing group i'm committed to being the sponsor
8:07 pm
on this tool the luxury development should pay a higher fee and reconcile the fees according to what they can pay. the part of the compromise we didn't come to an affordability issue that is about the affordability to the city not dipping below 33 percent and we're going to hold the city affordable and, of course, our housing developers. i wanted to recognize a number of folks first john the executive director of todd could and others who lead the negotiations and fernando for providing expertise in drafting the housing legislation and finally for the compromised eric

8:10 pm
housing well ero 60 percent should be affordable for the people that live here many organizations are not supportive of this but if the affordable housing community and others are supportive but in the interest of moving forward to protect the soul of the city and work together to build the housing i'm going to be supportive but i have hesitation with how the movement and but i know it wasn't easy to come up with a strong policy statement and an effort to pull in different groups i support that effort. >> supervisor breed. >> thank you. i want to thank supervisor kim for her leadership on this issue. i was extremely concerned about the rehabilitation of the affordable housing in my district and the i think ability to allow for development
8:11 pm
opportunities that would in especially pay for the 0 projects. i know we have a lot of affordable housing to build in this city i also expressed serious concerns about who gets the access to that housing that's another issue do moving forward it is a balance it's a first step but definitely more as a city we need to do to insure that people that need those heirs and need their housing units rehabbed and get it take care of and we need to do that more rapidly and looking forward to finding more idea and pitting on and on those on the table so thank you, again supervisor kim for your leadership >> supervisor kim. >> thank you supervisor breed and supervisor mar. i want it emphasis what supervisor mar said this was not
8:12 pm

8:13 pm
sdroip vote i believe in the housing balance we had what i believe is one of the most effective tools that we could have had to address this crisis. and i think that the way in which supervisor kim and her staff framed the housing balance initiative was a very simple and yet creative way of actually doing something that did something in response to this crisis. respectfully even though i support the voters having the choice of voting on had i don't know that this does anything other than to make a statement and i believe that we need to do more than make statements when faced with this affordability crisis. i'm all for finding compromise
8:14 pm
and finding a mid ground but we gave up putting a housing balance measure on the ballot and i don't know if we got any concrete but the exploration down the road i don't think we need exploration but action. and so it's a very unfortunate thing and i think t a sad day. i want to thank the tenants especially and the residents who have been advocating wearing the yellow shirts for the housing balance. and so thank you. >> thank you supervisor campos. president chiu >> thank you. i want to first acknowledge supervisor kim and the stakeholders with worked on this and let me say i know the stakeholder that were involved
