chapter code that is stronger than the other mergers and conversions that are under side planning code so two years ago it was approved and emily rogers is here and whether this ordinance had anything to do with the conversions and we checked with the city attorney and this is interrelated to the short-term rentals and the conversions of hotels continue to be in place if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them or i was going to speak with ms. rogers so further clarify the ordinance. >> thank you, mr. pollack if no questions we'll proceeded to public comment unless the

months from tenant and landlords the hotel community and neighborhood advocates, the human resources community and the department of building inspection and the city attorney all of the commissioners of various department as well my aid amy chang let me start with a couple of preliminary comments everyone in this room in this chamber agrees that the status quo is not working when it comes to short-term rentals in san francisco we need a regulatory and framework how to move forward with considering the activity around short-term rentals in san francisco that doesn't exist today as i've said before the flying value to address the activity in the context of our city's affordability crisis how do we afford to live in the city this

legislation addresses that it would for bid the activity for those individuals that are engaging in short-term rentals did i placing san franciscans pushing san franciscans out of san francisco whether you're a landlord who is ellis acting to establishment all each year around bed-and-breakfast this will apply though per day finances and penalty if you engagement in that activity on the other hand, we've heard that short-term rentals and human resources have allowed struggling san franciscans to afford to live in our city senior citizens on a fixed income and families traveling for vacation and

workers xhoountd and artist our legislation says if you're a permanent resident an individual that lives in the city 9 months of the year and play by the rules and register with our city so if there's issues we can address them and pay our full share of taxes that means tens of million dollars of delores to the city so long as you pay liability shushes and not undermining rent control laws i also want to thank land use as well as the members of the public and the stakeholders that have addressed concerns from the first legislation let me 13450ir some of the changes we've made we've addressed concerns brought

by the affordable housing community excluding the marrying unit and subscribed and affordable housing we've addressed the concerns about life and safety concerns our legislation says if you have any violations or electrical or firing issues you'll be denied permission to be a host and if it turns out new violations arises any permission granted to you to be a host will be taken away we've heard concerns from landlord to address those we ask landlords be notified if the tenants register as a host and has no new rights into the landlord tenant issues and addressed the neighbor association that the homeowner

cc&rs not be entangled and to regulate single-family home and we have new provisions in the several rounds of amendments to strengthen enforcement so first and foremost the enrollment agency will be the note the planning inspection and increased the finances for the multiple finances doubling the finances for second and tripling for third offices and ask for registration numbers to include when they rent out their residence and strengthen the requirement that only that one application will be permitted for every permanent recipe and clear that posting platforms will be subject to enforcement for various violations we've

continued to hear about other concerns i've got several other amendments to further improve enrollment amendments offered by the public and in particular, the planning department and i think them for their feedback on this and a number of things first of all, we require every host to report at least two times a year the number of dazed that have been rented out on a short time basis so for every individual host whether or not they're in compliance and direct any civil or administration penalty back to the department for enforcement and we'll been asked by the participating to put a program in place to establish an open active date of february 1st

of next week next year to give them a couple of months to enforce this in a pro-active way to adjust fees and cover the costs of the department and one thing that been suggested is this legislation have an annual report back to the board of supervisors to summarizes any administration or enforcement issues and make recommends for further amendments i have a series of amendments colleagues that i'll circulate to you to be considered after public comment i want to at the beginning of the out set to summarize some of the amendments to be countered and addressing the concerns thank you to the department of building inspection and tom huey if you recall two weeks ago at the land use commission there were a number of committee members that

wanted to have an opportunity to ask questions directly of dbi so we requested they be here to answer questions and with that, colleagues thank you for your patience and the public for your engagement on the issue why don't we precede. >> supervisor cohen. >> thank you i wanted to briefly talk about one amendment that i would like to talk will add to the particular to the legislation president chiu thank you for your leadership and everyone that's been part of the conversation many of the concerns i have stem from what i've heard from any constituents in the event of an emergency short-term rent short-term rentalers may not know the safety i'd like to put

forth an amendment that requires the host to post a notice inside their unit on the back of the front door that details the information and the location of the fire extinguishes and any pool and fire alarms that are available in the facility i don't have the exact language but with my conversation with the zake i believe we can consider what we propose just laid out should be adequate enough to draft language correct okay their nodding. >> thank you very much supervisor cohen i want to make a few introductory remarks and talk about a few amendments some of

those are along the lines of this hearing last week first of all, thank you president chiu for taking on this issue this is probably the most convoluted and changing piece of legislation or one of them certainly since i've been on the board of supervisors over the past 4 years it is challenging political because the politics don't breakdown along some of the traditional lines that we are used to wu you have tenant on both sides of the issues and single-family home owners and condo on both sides and the landlords on both sides and there's no clear breakdown i think it reel in some ways goes to the heart of some of the housing challenges we have in this city challenges in terms of

concerns about housing stock being used for other than long term residential use and the ability of tenants and homeowners to make rent or pay their mortgage we hear concerns about unit not begging being used for long term residential use and concerns about neighborhood character in terms of too many hotel like oozed uses on a block and concerns for example, homeland security who tell us this is how you make my mortgage not all homeowners are wealthy and this is how i'm able to put a new roof on my house or put my kids through college there's no black and white answer to it so i want to just give president chiu credit and his staff credit for taking on this issue you're never ever

going to make everyone happy where everyone's is - if legislation passes everyone will walk away with things in the legislation they like and things they don't like and that's also hard because we want to try to make everyone as satisfied as they can be no resolution to this issue that will make everyone satisfied and probably no one will be completely satisfied or an are going going to walk away with things they don't like and human resources folks won't like everyone we're trial to strike a balance i 2079 thank president chiu for trying to take the responsibility and directing the

arrows that are coming toward him there are people who lee would like to see human resources go away it's not going the jenny is out of the bottle it is the reality in san francisco and many cities in the u.s. and around the home sharing exists and we're trying to come up with a rational system to make sure it's not being abused and harmonized with our larger housing goals right now the situation not tangible because it makes a farce out of our planning code it exists in a way in san francisco it's in a gray area

and when i have something that exists it is not going away and recognized by the law you have significant problems because it exists in the shadows it's time to bring it out of the shadows and put limits on it so two weeks ago i offered an amendment the committee he accepted to trigonometry notification of landlord when any tenants in their building applies for shrldz there are landlords that point the law to ask for permission but the legislation achieves that goal the leases that landlords have with their tenant have subletting restrictions or not the city shouldn't be rewriting

the restriction the landlords can did i how to approach the situation and the landlord notification benefits the tenants i've heard of and heard from tenants that have been promoting evicted after putting their unit on a short-term rental site many tenants don't know they can be evicted and requiring the landlord notification helps us to avoid that so if the landlord has a problem they can go to the tenant so the tenants can actually learn up front whether or not this is something the landlord will use as a basis and not waiting for the eviction notice on their board this was adapted two weeks ago and under two additional amendment for all

the amendments we'll take them up after public comment one is something i've proposed two weeks ago we need to clean up the language the insurance clarifying the language and increasing the insurance requirement the legislation proposed insurance of $150,000 the amendment will increase that to $500,000 and the legislation the excuse me. the amendment will clarify that the insurance will have to cover the prove or disprove and i'll distribute that language and feinstein a minor amendment requested by the planning department the fee we're setting we have the discussion of the appropriate level of the fee the legislation desolates to the controller's office the responsibility and the power to

make periodic adjusts to the fee based on for example, the cost of enforcement and so i have an amendment which will be on page 19 start on line 14 inserting the language not later on 6 months after the effective date of this ordinance after holding a dually note it possible hearing at the planning commission and then preceding as is the director shall report to the controller, etc., etc. there will be an informational hearing at the planning commission and the - that first determination will have to occur within 6 months of the legislation so those are the amendments i'd like to pit on the table in addition what president chiu and supervisor cohen place on the

table i'll note that supervisor kim is now joined us supervisor we're doing the introductory remarks so you can remark as well. >> thank you, supervisor wiener it's good to see tom huey we were at the same groundbreaking at the south of market i want to appreciate the committee in my towardness i made a lot of comments last week, i don't want to be reiterate active first of all, we are absolutely moving in the right direction we know that short-term rental vacation rentals is become an activist that is widely lied in san francisco people joy hosting guests from around the world and make additional income everyone
