colleagues for their hard work and thinking and given the work that's everyone's done i hope you can move this out to the full board with recommendation i think we have to take a major step forward and i also want to thank the planning department and the department of building inspection and our city attorney that's been working on this a year and a half thank you colleagues let's move this out to the full board a week from tuesday. >> okay. so colleagues then supervisor kim. >> are you going to make the motion. >> anyone can make the motion. >> why don't we - supervisor cohen would you like to make a motion just put it out. >> i'd like to make a motion to
5:31 am
move this out of committee with a with a positive recommendation and move item 3 to the full board with with a positive recommendation heard a week from tomorrow. >> supervisor kim. >> i will be happy to vote this out of committee unanimously if we do it with a positive recommendation i was going to make some closing comments but i said the direction of islamic so i'm fin with supporting this without unanimous recommendations. >> president chiu did did i have feedback and i hope i ask for you to consider it out with a with a positive recommendation if you're able to as some indication we've done work that move forward i understand supervisor kim has additional
5:32 am
concerns we'll likely are a have a conversation on at the full board i know those conversations have started today and happy to gave me further but to have some recommendation i'd like to ask that's something the committee will consider. >> i'll be fine with putting this out with a with a positive recommendation this is one of those issues where everyone come away with things they like and don't like this has begun through an enormous process and decisions in the community we know what the issues are and you know we've made a number of amendments into two weeks ago and today, i know the two issues that were highest in my mind were the issue of tightening up
5:33 am
and tightening up the automatically notification to landlord-tenant when the tenant relations in order for the landlord to know what's going on because of her building and making sure that the tenant didn't envertically get evicted because they didn't tell their landlord the landlord finds out it is better for the landlord to know up front and tell the tenant up front rather than the tenant fought with an eviction notice comes those are the two issues that need to be tightened up we've done that supervisor kim as mentioned the possibility of extending the 90 day maximum to hosted rentals even though you're living in our own house
5:34 am
being limited to 90 days of short-term rentals i think i mentioned the last time i didn't support speak when we're talking about someone's own home a spare bedroom it across the line to say we're going to limit the number ever days you can do that when i talk about the problems we hear brown about the short-term rentals my censured or experience is when the host is not there are and people are doing whatever they're doing when the host is there those issues anything can happening happen but when the host is there it's better the impoverishment issue 0 that's going to exist and we have you numerous situations he rely on people signing things under penalty of perjury and be truthful and i also on sensitive
5:35 am
to the concerns expressed by some of the folks particularly the rh1 d the in-law unit legalization units and sympathetic to their concerns was on the non prevailing side of the particular amendment to try to address that situation but i think here given what we're doing and saying you have to list everyone whether a condo you have to live 9 months out of the year it dramatically reduce the risk of those rooms being hotel listed that's a word people use the neighbors are going to have to be there 9 months out of the is year i'm sympathetic to the neighborhood and the homes are rented out all
5:36 am
the time without a host that has a dramatic impact of the character of the neighborhood bus because they have to live there are 9 months you thought year it is reduced the concerns i know people have concerns this is a reasonable attempt to regulate an area that right now is completely and not regulated is a major step forward so i'm comfortable moving that out with positive recommendation. >> supervisor kim if we're going to move it out with a positive recommendation i won't be voting for it and clearly two years of work has begun going into it supervisor wiener talked about this this is one the complex pieces of legislation we've seen at land use commission this is definitely on the list i want to proficient
5:37 am
interests an incredible balance we're trying to put forward here you know i don't want to belabor the point but my commitment to 90 days host or not hosted comes down to the fact i don't think the city can enforce hosted days i don't think how we can have people prove that they slept in they were home two-hundred and 75 days in our home without an investigation i appreciate the statement of the prejudice it will defer the real good folks that don't want to dye lie i just know we have this group of actors everyone should be anger at in those room is the landlords but tenant not living in their units and taking
5:38 am
those off the market and it's heartbreaking for people that have been evicted so landlord can full-time ellis act their units but i'll noted go there given the scale of the profit i can do making short-term rentals it is frankly people are hifrg other folks to take care of their hosting airbnb through cleaning and the platforms too so i that's why i'm stuck on the 90 hosted or non-hosted i'd love for people dodo this but i can't differentiated between the bad and good actors i guess the argument you own your own home you can do
5:39 am
whatever you want to that's not the occurred case it's actually illegal but i'm okay with the legal listing activity along the lines for single-family homes owners are exempt but apartment owners will have to stick to the policies to protect our homeowner stock we don't have this power in the land use committee but i'll proveer it for the future i'll make a statement we're about to push this out of the committee i'm glad the airbnb has maiden their taxes and i encourage them to work with the treasurers office with the back tax issues i like the registry with the note having the names
5:40 am
but having a numerical registration that's helpful with enforcement the landlord we know that ultimately a lot of the liability something goes wrong goes to the prove or disprove and the landlord notification addresses that it's not as strong as landlord a consent but i'm happy to support that measure i mean, i'm glad we're excluding below market rates to be affordable i should be able to live in the units without average and i'm glad we've discussed the airbnb code and the insurance i'm happy to stick with the amendments that commissioner lee as proffered i'm not sure about the insurance to come up with a dollar amount but a 90 day hosted or
5:41 am
non-hosted is a nice balance people continue to get the short-term rentals and the city can enforce against the good and bad actors i think that's a good balance i don't see that as two restrictive and if you want for e rent for more than 90 cases i'll work with the planning department object the exceeded process for people that are going to 3 hundred and 75 days a week it's a business you, your camp mather guests and welcoming them in that's a hotel business i get that sunset and the excelsior and you u the bay area doesn't have the options for tourist there should be another pathway for others folks that are doing if full-time and if
5:42 am
the cu i've never seen you reject those they go through but if it's h that had a right if the real owners burden is the waste time but for my understanding once the schedule is in 38 they all pass so that's were any policy preference is but i do really want to be able to make that feedback but still give full respect to the work we've not fully vetted out all the recommendations but i prefer to send this out without recommendations but those are the things i'm looking at i'm glad we're able to table this complicated issue here at land use. >> okay supervisor kim with that, there's a motion on
5:43 am
the table - did you want supervisor cohen. >> it's okay. it's been a long day supervisor kim said something i heard echoed in the comments from public comment i've been sharing in the concern of short-term rentals being taken off the market and airbnb that's real i spoke with a sponsor a little bit earlier in the legislation sponsor earlier in the day about bringing out is way to distinguish between a person that owns their own home and airbnb out an additional room it makes sense and is reasonable i believe as you own our own home there should not be a 90 day cap on that and another issue point of concern what in - if you have a
5:44 am
5 bedroom and renting out had in a large home could have cumulative impacts on the neighborhood the other thing talking about good and bad actors that's hard to mitigate and regulate we have a law on the books in the statistic you must carry car insurance we know that people drive and operate vehicles not only without a license but without car insurance that is trying to regulate the airbnb market is going to be a challenge as much as in the state of california to regulate those bad actors that doesn't carry car insurance i want to give a voice to in-law
5:45 am
units do we legalize them should they be part of airbnb or not airbnb i kind of look at this through an economic lens we're saying people that can afford to own property in san francisco yes that's okay for you to b and b airbnb a new phrase by the way, okay for you to do it but if you're a renter in a legalized in-law unit it's not okay for them? i don't know if you're a property owner you have no more flexibility those are the 3 points i'm comfortable with not being behogan if the host is on
5:46 am
site then they should have no more flexibility and not a 90 day cap and when it comes to the point of insurance company i'm not clear in 5 how does is the minimum or maximum we're not requesting them to stay in san francisco that are going through the motions just to be able to live here those are my comments thank you very much and supervisor chiu for bringing this wonderful legislation and dedicated people that have stayed here all day. >> supervisor kim and i want to respond yes, i'm offering the suggestion your different if you're a homeowner so if you're a condo owner you would get a
5:47 am
number of nights hosted and not hosted but if you're a renter there's a restriction this will protect the issue of protecting our rent control housing stoke in the event people are renting out it try homeowners living in are their home they can poesht rent those units out those are challenging questions i have a small concern in the future homeowners are going to start this as a business and now the house is valued at $105 million and not $1 million we're not readily o ready for that concern yet. >> two quick things first of all, whether or not the
5:48 am
registration runs with the property i don't know that it does regards even if it doesn't and someone would buy a home and do a airbnb rental they could just registration in terms of the both the impact and combofshlt issues it is not really that different between single families and multiple united buildings when our in a multiple you unit building your impacted with the neighbors and homeowners do thing with their buildings it is somewhat that different again it impacts the neighborhood but treating this differently impacts we have a motion open the table to move that w to the full board with a positive recommendation madam clerk call the roll on that
5:49 am
motion. >> supervisor cohen supervisor kim no supervisor wiener two i's and one no. >> thank you, colleagues the motion passes madam clerk, any other business before this committee? oh, and actually i'm sorry before we adjourn supervisor kim made a request could you recall items one and 2 together. >> i'm sorry. >> recall items one and two we're to revote. >> got it. >> can you please recall items 12we and the resolution supporting and encouraging the development the policies prohibit the transportation of hazardous material and item 2 is an ordinance amending the
5:50 am
difference of conversion requirement for short-term rentals. >> i'll entertain a motion to resend the votes on one and two we'll take that without objection. that is adapted and forward one and two to the full board with a positive recommendation >> madam clerk, any other business before this committee? >> there's no further business. >> then we're adjourned thank y thank y
