5:00 am
clean up language anything else from our city attorney victor wong. >> victor wong city attorney. >> so those are the amendments and i know that commissioner lee has a couple. >> before we get there my understanding is supervisor mar it's our intent to make the amendments into items number 3 which was the planning department recommendation or the planning department version all make those as described and roman numeral the planning department with user as sponsor and table item 4. >> that's correct. >> so why don't we do that now supervisor mar has described a
5:01 am
series of amendments reduced to writing as well why don't we have a motion to make those amendments item number 3? okay we'll take that without objection. we'll adapt those amendments item 3 and madam clerk if you could add supervisor mar as the author of item 3 and can i have a motion to table item number 4 >> okay we'll take that without objection. item 4 is tabled now we're working with the amended version of item number 3 so i just want to say a few things and make the amendments i'll briefly describe at the beginning so this amended version obviously no one got exactly what they wanted with the compromise and a number of things not everything is exactly the way i would have done it but
5:02 am
we've made a lot of process in particular i was pleased to see the environmental review environmental review study i was concerned the original proposal in supervisor mar the environmental review environmental review study was manipulative broad and the formula retail establishments could get caught up in an environmental impact study for example the coffee shop literally around the corner to castro space they want a less tiny space they'll have to go through the process they have just over the minimum to quality a formula retail the last thing to require them on top of to do a environment impact so refrs
5:03 am
that for bigger businesses makes more sense i do want to slightly disagree with a gentleman that is no longer here the opposition to formula retail comes from small businesses i think it is much broader than that we'll not do the starbuck and charge policy debate there are people that be passionate on both sides of the debate it was split in many ways and people that feel strongly and against they're just people that live in the neighborhood and care about it whoa whatever conclusion but times we hear arguments between a chain into the location or it's going to be vacant while this may sometimes be the
5:04 am
case for larger spaces for example, the cbs space where records it's been exfoliating hard to find a smaller business into a space but you know, i know that every commercial property is unique and every property owner is unique i, think of a number of circumstances where the property owner did not want a local retailer and preferred to have a national retailer they've pursued that but adversities not as simple and there was reference made to the encroachment but supervisor kim introduced those interim
5:05 am
controls there an office one situation a owner was going to evict a tenant for a mcdonald's it can lead to a reaction this is a very, very complex issue and i think it is really important and i think many, many property owners do a really good job we care about the neighborhood and the area but you see situations where you know you have an owner that and want a local retailer they said that period and end of store and the story i wanted a formula retail it's challenging for me, i take a case by case approach to formula retail and it is - it makes it in lead to a good political dynamic when you have a situation potentially being
5:06 am
out of there and have a mcdonald's people don't take kindly it is important for everyone to work together we only want what is right for the neighborhood finally, i want to say in case i wasn't clear enough but the cu process is broken it is not about the participation but it takes so incredibly long and there recent situations where people in the neighborhood who are not pro formula retail why is that vacancy lasting longer we know there's a store that everyone wants to go into it why is it 9 months later and still a blighted space so with that said, i'll make a few amendments into item 3 with supervisor mar
5:07 am
the first will be a verbal amendment i'll read it finally service in the zoning tables for the castro neighborhood commercial districts section 715 the upper market transit district and the detroit street noah valley should are permitted from conditional and again those are keeping what's been in place for a long time and removed from the planning process the second amendment is the grandfathering for pending application that i mentioned at the beginning and that will be as follows quote any locations is it submitted a permanent application to the city as a of 2014 is granted for formula retail controls those are the
5:08 am
two amendments so colleagues supervisor mar. >> i'll second those amendments. >> so we'll take that without objection. we'll make those two amendments to item 3 and then finally, i'd like to duplicate the file for item number 3 and make two amendments to the duplicated version that we can refer to the planning commission for further proceedings and that will be so the file will be duplicateed and one will be incorporating the interim controls that repreviously pays for the castro street m t c and read the conditional use authorization by the planning commission is required from the planning code section thirty 3 in circumstances there is a
5:09 am
determination by itself department staff or city board commission that a proposed policy that the project sponsor removes the features from the planning code and we implemented those interim controls when a particular project on castro street gained the system to take itself out of formula retail defines so that will be one and the second would be i'll read this financial services limited financial services personal services above the ground floor of a building anatomy considered formula retail and again in the also i think the beginning of the discussion i've raised this about the second floor issue those are the two amendments i'll propose for the duplicateed
5:10 am
version. >> i'll second it. >> we'll take that without objection. we'll make those amendments if i could have a motion to send the duplicateded versus to the planning commission is that the appropriate. >> john gibner, deputy city attorney i think the appropriated motion is to continue to the to the call of the chair and we'll afford it to the full board. >> so the duplicateded version of item 3 to the call of the chair. >> 70. >> we'll take that without objection. align to the original version of item 3 as amended by supervisor mar and me it a motion. >> some of the task force on the subsidies we'll work with the planning folks to make sure that the stakeholders are included and i think also the
5:11 am
process to look at the small business priority progressing pilot program as a potential method of streamlining for the smaller chains and smaller soup companies and those kinds of smaller chains will be looked at this is another process and lastly i know a number of people brought up the jobs and quality and the conditions in jobs and retail i think this is really was on effort with the small businesses and neighborhood leaders and jobs for justice to look at more comprehensive issues of the working conditions and the whole economy of small and bigger businesses in the city i think another key follow-up is the bill of rights that supervisor chiu and you are working on that's another
5:12 am
follow-up step but that case supervisor wiener and supervisor cohen and their staff and the coalition of people that have come together to make this 1 to 2 we were far apart. >> so supervisor mar forward item 3 to the full board workers' compensation. >> as amended we'll take that without objection. >> thank you so m will you please call item number 5. >> item 5 is the code for the rental security deposit. >> we'll wait for the room to clear
5:13 am

5:14 am
deposits it requires that for years 2004 and later that electricities on the residential execute deposits be based on a six months concert of rates six months of city rates, however, this past december the federal refer accessed to public bad rates they had an insufficient institutions that were providing the products and therefore the amendment substitutes in a very sooner rate which is the 90 days aa financial commercial piper this was the rate that was matched the six months cd rate and therefore this section is being updated to the 90 days ada
