confident and you may have seen this newspaper article on the day that supervisor cohen introduced this legislation the order please my coworker lives on berry straight it's a beautiful tree lined street i've learned we don't perceive air pollution because of the drought we've been talking about we have to wait for the that is a days to receive the accumulation of pollution i'm sure you're aware of this has been more frequent but once you to my colleagues department you'll see that the normal building style used has been called a z deduct that protects noise coming out the

building and the outside air because he works in my department he know that there could be a degree of pollution due to his proximity to the train station he began to buy allergy flrlts a that's delivered to the inside of his apartment i'm going to share you with this needs to be changed every 2 months what those are doing prevent the larger part continentals i've been speaking and even though they've you visited his home i'm shocked he has a clean place to maintain

but most of his neighbors are noticing not doing this they see the soot on the back the reporter had him touch his balcony prior to - many 2008 i testified on behalf of of the task force and there were

several research articles to a talk about the asthma caused by air pollution a 10 year study of children's height and a decrease in where children who's lungs will not grow is to the full-size we're not a los angeles as yes, he did. we're not to be that but right now the new evidence in the health literature is that parcels cause inflation that causes heart disease and there's an activity protein there was a 3 thousand person study done that california state agency published so i'm going to show you the offer lap between the area that is proposed to be the air pollution explore zone under the

amendment and the hospitalized for heart disease and you can clearly see the north south of market and the bay area those are our highest areas i have another guest speaker to help us dot mapping that products that and treasure island also has hospitalizations so we know from the research literature that air pollution cases cardiovascular effects that are related to the among the top 5 leading causes of death so this is a 2rsh9 sma somewhat of an invisible

contributor our goal to do the best to protect the public health if you don't know article 38 right away a developer going to the department of public health signifying e saying this is a model zone and in this case they need to monitor it with the professional company if the criteria is exceeded they have to provide the ventilation it only applies to developments of 10 or more units it doesn't apply to retains less than 10 units like daycare those other sensors only pollution to the roadways our proposal is is to change

this to the zoning map there's since 2008 many improvements are done we propose that the department does the dictate of what is rather than having companies doing their own modeling they have to spend their money this is an obligation of the department every 5 years we'll include all sources that are known which are the stationary serious by the air district and the permits like the train properties and the rise there are two crazy for getting into this map the excess of carcinogen those are quality to be part of this. >> i have a quick question and yes. >> this legislation goes tons

for new what about housing there's in the conquer zone how can we help them. >> the existing how's. >> yes. i don't believe that much the existing housing sthok stock has a housing supply system it wasn't built to the standards of today with the air supply is brought in maybe the high rising but the low rising only i mean, was built at a time when openable windows were allowed. >> now we have broken ground on phase one and this development is it significant to this - >> under the sequa mitigation measures.

>> yeah. >> it has been required to be he same the sequa process hass has required mitigation measures to the standard. >> thank you so. >> oh, go ahead. >> supervisor kim. >> were you down with our prosecution. >> i think it's fine to go on with our questions we've continued with an elevated freeway here's why this is 2 the elevate freeway and muni here previous to this the assumptions about the heights were actually not including this type of property now they are

so i want to tell you what's been accomplished one hundred and have 6 properties since the law was passed that have been screened and 38 percent require the clansz ventilation 22 u 32 because of our booming economy we've changed the turn around and offered people to comply with this amendment some people have chosen that sgru just to talk about the filters there have been studies both objection

studies and modeling the one in finland where the air they were studying is slightly cleaner and they showed will i using the same filltion they'll have 20 percent less explore and 20 percent less deaths they've applied the 70 to 20 thousand deaths per year is prevented this is a chance to be pioneers all the research shows the cleated a calculated benefits exceed the costs this amendment that supervisor cohen introduced today, i clearly feel it's our job as regular looser larry's to make our community successful the work they do is important that's increasing increasing our

housing supply the lack of housing it is we're fulfill committed to work with our agency partners to explore technology that work so we can all mutually achieve your goals it's part of our responsibility to make that available to our community and public i appreciate the amendment. >> supervisor kim. >> yeah. first of all, i want to thank supervisor cohen for working on this important legislation all our residents in district 67 are interested in the neighborhoods by the freeways it is good for me to see the data how it impacts the south america's and district 6 i know it comes up often with our residents and i can see from

my house the windows you see a collide of black dust and the window that i leave closed it white you see the air blood transfusion so i'm really glad we're moving forward this is for new buildings and buildings that need alteration but i'm curious how does it impact the buildings coming up i know it continues to be a zoning concern among your residents i want to mayor that our residents are the highest level of protection from in the neighborhoods. >> we're in a difficult transition many of the places get their permits prior to 2008 so they're not necessarily held to article 28 maybe through the

sequa mitigation so it's been a case by case that has brought us to a variance process this new amendments requires the department it 0 create a set of rules and regulations but up to now, it's one negotiated at a time. >> what do me over to our existing residence that have lived there prior to 2008 it won't be required to comply with that legislation is there something we can offer he in terms of the hoa are the developer were ready to comply with the standards? there would be no problem one thing an agency to get that communication >> i'd like to sit down with this and see what we know do for

our larger buildings i know that resident are interested i would want to add my name a as a co-sponsor. >> that's wonderful. >> we're looking at our neighborhood near our freeways that's where the parcels are we have to look at the other policies to make sure our buildings are safe as possible. >> we've been be looking at the language we're skpg them to acknowledged reasonable person understand your rules 0 so we were looking at one property it's possible to upgrade the buildings it's the easiest way. >> supervisor cohen. >> okay any additional low

income prosecution. >> i have one from planning and the quality district thank you good afternoon supervisor wiener and members of the commission. >> i'm wade from the planning department staff joining me it jessica from the planning department i'm going to be brief we've been partnering and supporting the department of public health so karen provided accurate representation of what the issues we're trying to revolve the ordinance is about protecting the public awhile providing certainty from the reviewing this supervisor cohen will lion the city walks with the projects subject to the

california quality act which requires us to impose article three 8 as measures if we adapted the amendments we'll not have to go through litigation the planning commission recommended that the board of supervisors adapt the property amendment on august 20, 2014, i have nothing more. >> thank you very much proceeded to the next presenter supervisor cohen. >> hi good afternoon members of the committee i'm phil representing the bay area quality control air district i'm the director for the risk

program or care program the air district is a strong supporter of earlier 38 we've been working closely with your planning department and abducting in updating the exposure zones, if you will, of the amendments and just to give you a little bit of background with the work we did used the latest modeling tools available to define those air pollution zones and so we think it's been an innovative partnering between the air district and the hunting and planning department in providing those updates and the maps you see so in general we support the air development it reduces the

regional air blood transfusion and green house gas emissions and preserves the air space with the transportation and all things that wish good for regional air quality i know it's important to bear in mind it increases the explores by bringing people colors to roadways earlier 38 a innovative throughout the state in terms of helping to make inphilosophical safer and i and prompt healthy in fill and the part by visitacion valley concrete options for developers to follow up so the amendments provide the developers with a predictable process and we commend our staff
