7:03 pm
>> thank you first of all, i want to wish any colleague supervisor campos a very happy birthday it happenings happened two days ago i want to introduce a modification for the transbay plan that allows the city to receive more money for affordable housing by allowing a developer to pay a significant fee i know this issue with in the august around the concerns of the protecting vs. the 34r5ur9 housing this deal is a huge precedent in the city around a discussion we've had about charging varying rates of oversight rates depending on the types of buildings like the condo or an 18 unit building you're asked to pay by the city the same amount but some units
7:04 pm
are more valuable than others this negotiation was a huge success on the part of our city to set a preept on the types of dollars when we allow luxury condo developers to oversight their units generally as a policy i prefer inclusionary units to be on site but this is a case we're allowing the developer to pay a fee in a significant number of affordability units in the transbay area plan we've committed to 35 percent of affordable housing thanks to redevelopment and the state we have one other affordable housing project that's been completed in the transbay area the renee parent and on fremont and fulsome the original proposal on fremont was for 11
7:05 pm
ooutsz units to be on site of a mixed use office building under the current structure the developer would pay $5.5 million toward affordable housing if they off sited those units oozing they negotiated a $13.85 million annual fee towards the affordable housing in this area almost 3 times the amount that a developer would have paid in the current program it's significantly higher than what is lout on the market rate vs. the pure rate amount the - we know with the homeowner association fees would have been in the thousands of dollars thereby preexcluding folks will build 69 affordable homes now
7:06 pm
we're building 69 affordable rental oozed uses so the net between 54 and 58 new units since they will be subscribed by the city it has a cap that is negotiated by ocii it could subsidy 5892 housing unit they will be built on the transbay area not 12k3wr5ig9 them and block 8 is located open fulsome between 1 and fremont street ocii has xuftd awning agreement with companies and tenderloin development corpse to build the project and transbay block 8 designed by obamacare m a this
7:07 pm
proposal will include more affordable housing than proposed with 67 hundred and six 3 unit in which one hundred and 77 are affordable to hourldz between 40 and 5060 percent of the area medium income it's low on the superdome the items being introduced will be heard alters ocii and planning i want to express my strong support and come back to the board of supervisors as we see sit on the proportion of the area plan this proposal will allows us to get more affordable housing and thus set an important precedent of setting a higher off site fee and demonstrates that the developer can and will pay higher fees to do off site with had it develops for affordable housing the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor kim

7:16 pm
policy there's not high public awareness around this we have basically diced what i think it probably the one of the worse possible policies that you can have in order to promote a flushing healthy urban effort the policy is that if you own a home adjacent to a street tree the city is basically going to dump maintenance responsibility of that tree into you this is the case whether or not you planted the tree or own the tree whether or not you want the tree, whether you have the physical or financial robot and whatever the size the tree in supervisor chiu's district that are trees that are to 50 feet tall that is absorb to ask
7:17 pm
someone to take care of that and expensive to bring arborist out in my district a woman had the good fortunate but having the gull to own is a home with a street next to 50 trees and the city said it was her responsibility to maintain the 50 trees, however, did city backed up the industry is unfair to property owners and think the property owners want the the trees and know how to take care of those trees it's a receipt for an urban effort of the 20 large streets san francisco is number 17 in terms of the canopy coverage that's because we had
7:18 pm
investment in our urban forest and the investment is one of the issues 4 percent of our trees die because of natural attrition and a lot of property owners don't want new trees next to their homes abused of the responsibility of taking care of them we need to shift our urban forest tree policy so expand the number of trees in san francisco so that we increase our canopy cover and have a healthy way rather than relying on homeowners some people will do a fantastic job others do a poor job or hire a arborist the
7:19 pm
purpose to explore the relinquishment program whether the city sees the program in the future and when the city aupz anticipates all the trees are having if you trees under their responsibility and having a flooifr upper forest given this policy this is an important issue colleagues, i building that the people of san francisco care passionately about trees and having a flushing urban effort the rest i submit. >> seeing no other names that community colleges roll call. >> why not go to public comment. >> at this point the public my may comment and including items that are considered by a board
