7:00 am
the last 3 years and it is incredibly welcome and great to these people back at work and great to see our residential and office development now finally come back into place and getting constructed what we're experiencing now is credible gridlock way more than anyone one of us erupted modern 14 years ago what we've seen south of market is credible and the few nights i make it to my home on a rush hour on fulsome street i'm astonished it is intimately we see cars at the sidewalk u crosswalk and they're tired and impatient so their constantly moving every inch i've seen criminalists and kids you maneuvering their way to get out of the ways of cars it is scary
7:01 am
for me as well i had two or three questions i wanted to ask to get comments and this was specific to sfmta either to peter or aaron i guess now we've compiled the data and the effectiveness of having a pco enforcement either the hand signaling what's the next steps for sfmta to make the pilot permanent? or - poor cameron whoever wants to come up i think our residents wants to know this work is great we're excited about the pilot we want to see that permanent and the next steps >> peter albert from the mta i work with aaron there were
7:02 am
recommendations that came out of the pilot but i want to go back to the assessment a lot of what liz has shown it is one piece of the puzzle but they all interlock when we look at the recommendation of making it a permanent project how do we take that point and look at the future those waves of development and the abstraction multiple modal incentives i have a lot of confidence if we talked about the 3 workers the transportations demand management is brown where you make headway we work with carlly right now trying to codify regular transportation management measures that help
7:03 am
people understand what is laws are and the benefits of using easiest modes and behaving in a civil way i will refer to cameron but i want to make a plug for transportation demand management we reach to the giants and the warriors if they have fans coming into the area that's a great opportunity to pitch education and awareness. >> mr. albert i don't want to take away from the larger network don't block the intersection it is only one thing that's education we i support of the longer study and support the commemorating management pricing and in the downtown area and i'd love to do
7:04 am
work with the major employers to pilot that but in the meantime i don't want to have no more work but while we continue to do all the another amazing work to make selma flow better. >> hi again, i want to start with my presentation is additionally provide 6 pcos up to 6 pcos going to first identifying which locates and agreeing to which locations we want to tackle first, i building that education again, the 3 workers we've talked about that i want to start with education some outreach to make sure that everybody understands what the rules are and after that do
7:05 am
another assessment with engineering to make sure that we have the proper signage, striping whatever it takes and then bring on the enforcement i'm proposing we do that on december 1st especially okay. we'll start off again with the intersections we've identified and gun to make different sweeps of different intersection whether it's two pcos at an intersection or 3 intersections doing various active enforcement that includes citation issuance yeah. >> supervisor cohen. >> i have a quick question i take a 6 pcos and cover the south of market that leaves a funnel someplace else. >> true we're also struggling to prioritize pcos staff
7:06 am
and during those times i've looked at those and done an exhaust look at what i'll be taking away sort of taking it back a step we're actually going through a step from an jill audit for the pco beats and staffing and rather than saying i need more pcos i the want to say i want to utilize them whether street cleaning or driveway claiming and or double parking and and double parking and just to go on that point i actually created a saturation team oh, about 6 months now we've done pretty good in areas but what takes away is something else is a shuttle program i
7:07 am
think that we are going to and will continue will have a better assessment of what our resources are our resources needs and how we allocate them among the various details. >> supervisor kim. >> thank you i know this is an impression that many residents have but it seems like sfmta doesn't have trouble citing parking tickets in the city and it's hard for a lot of the residents to accept the fact this is a real capacity issue investigating the pcos giving out ticket in the south of market area we immediately get a parking tickets the moments our meters go out but
7:08 am
7:09 am
don't do things in a orderly fashion. >> i have one more question and then one last question for mta you had mentioned that the counterpart stilt u shuttle took away the - the one there's per stop was going to fulfill cover the costs so we shouldn't be using the pcos it should be funded on its own. >> i did not let me correct that we're not pulling those people away it is fully funded through the process it takes a lot of time to do any of those types it changes what we do and adds for resources 0 or to a daily we explicit anticipate so to shift the existing one we did
7:10 am
the 10 pcos to do the detail they're only doing that daily the a.m. and p.m. peak so it splits their time and only to fill in the afternoon it is on this that filling in the afternoon that leaves a gap we have to fill if everything was equal across the board you, you know meter time it would be easier to move people around but when we start splitting things up it adds holes in our ability to manager the people that's all i meant to say. >> i have one final question not sure to you cameron or another member of sfmta i have been talking to edward reiskin to augment the work that the
7:11 am
pcos do for tickets for people that run red lights it makes sense that the same cameras can catch people that are 0 blocking boxes stuck in the intersection be able to photograph their license plate and send them a tinting to augment the limited human resources we have in the agencies i know we made a request to attorney general go harris i was wondering where we're at i know when we hope to get a message back but where we're at i will give you the best an answer eave not been involved in the work kate has been watching over that all we know at this point, we're waiting for a decision from the attorney general and if the decision comes in favor of the inform
7:12 am
being able to allow don't block the box enforcement or red light enforcement we'll get the red light cameras but if it is not in favor we'll have to initiate another process i don't know what that is. >> i appreciate the answer i appreciate we're successful i believe that supervisor wiener worked on this prohibiting the right turn on octavia we were able to get emily harris to look at that i encourage you to write her office to make sure we get it competed. >> that will help us too. >> thank you. >> great supervisor kim and thank you for calling for this hearing i'm really glad to hear a pro-active approach moving
7:13 am
forward and i'll say that in terms of double parking and the saturation we'll be recohen that hearing early in the next year so we will compare assaults from what we received a year ago for the progress so i'll await that data and also want to reiterate what supervisor kim said about comparing to damn having going through it as we did for many different areas housing and traffic and other areas we thought it can't possibly get worse like in 1999, or 2000 in terms of evicts and pedestrian and low and behold this is not like a pet stop doouchl whatever
7:14 am
happens are the the ups and downs economy we're on a different trajectory in san francisco as are a lot of cities in terms of everyone understanding the city is an amazing place in san francisco first and foremost so we're going to continue to grow by another one hundred and 50 thousand people between now and 200 and 40 and now is the time whether improving muni or getting our heads around this kind of improvement for traffic management we need to be making those decisions and implementing those fixed now and the gridlock we see south of market and south of market is definitely the most extreme in so many ways i look forward to try to slow down the traffic it is going to spread in supervisor cohen's district tens of thousands of units coming
7:15 am
online like 07 thousand more units and stuff happening south of market and in the planning commission mission we're growing in the transportation system all the kinds of enforcement techniques have to do that this is a can do type of city if no additional comments. >> i forgot to thank our residents with our city agrees and sfmta and ta for your work i look forward to marking this a permanent program and thank you to the gentleman in sacramento who wrote a letter to our deputy attorney general to make it quickly to allowing san francisco to not block the box we'll share the lowers so thank you committee and thank you to

development on a property 35 unit affordable housing project for protecting households on a property on 24th street in the mission district predevelopment funding for the project was approved in 2012 but unfortunately did project faced impeded a loan agreement between the former agency and n nc out of experience the item before you for consideration this afternoon is the assignment of this loan to ccii to be modified in support of the affordable housing project before getting into the details of this assignment request i'll status with background request and the affirmativeness of loan first background brob b director bohe mentioned back to 1994 in

the early 90s, the prospective jurors program called the 24th street revitalization program for small business loans and public space improvements in the mission district there this program nonprofits were eligible to purchase rerehab and use 3w4r50ig9er commercial prompts on 24th street to encourage the revitalization the program required any acquisition provides the property to the community in terms of jobs and retail original attractions in 18994 the former agree approved the agreement in the amount of 2 hundred and 50 thousand for ac acquisition of the properties and 3 to 5 on the bowling alley under the terms this site with
7:21 am
the exception of the space n nc was urging for head start to be used for commercial and leased to nonprofit commercial tenants, however, after n nc worried this site the bowling property can't be converted due to existing commercial zoning and the property required expensive upgrade as a result, it wasn't leased and the balm i didn't alley site was leased to commercial tenants during the term the formation easy those problems and in 2002, the former commission authorized an agreement to authorize $90,000 to 24th property but the go upgrade were unfortunately not made and the funds dispersonas

percent in substantial years this t the provisions of loan agreement were not completed prior to the former agency so currently, the loan which has maturity date of november 2014 is still in place and secured by deeds of trust for forgiveness only if the terms have been met on the agreement so in february of this year nc c made a request to ccii to informative the loan for the loan agreement to reinvest the loans in the affordable housing project that it needs occ determined it can't be forgotten first, as i imaginations e.r. mentioned all terms and conditions be met in order for the loan to be
7:23 am
forgotten n nc has unfortunately not been able to meet all the conditions for the economic development purposes due to the provisions mentioned earlier and forgiveness of the loan needs to imply with the law to have companies to make finding of the forgiveness of the loan in the best interests of the taking industries now the assignment of the loan all the time at that occ we believe this is consistent with the law and allows the funds to be used for the affordable housing project as requested under the proposed translation n nc adding it will contributor a total of 2 hundred and 50
7:24 am
thousands of sales that represents the loans to the affordable housing project to effectuate the use of the loan in the affordable housing project occ will fit the needs of affordable housing project consistent with redevelopment dissolution law the project will be funded this will benefit the taxing entities through affordable housing which you know is a critical need in san francisco and in particular in the mission district where the project will be located that will wind down the former agencies activities as required by the dissolution law to occ that concludes my presentation. myself as well as representatives from the n nc n
7:25 am
are here to answer questions you might have. >> thank you do we have speaker cards. >> i have no speaker cards. >> no speaker cards mr. mar questions would i like to address the commission on this translation i'll invite members of the public to come up and victor for the neighborhood centers or centers we have as project manager indicated we've been working on this for quite some time this is the best approach to to resolve this issue in light of the dissolution laws and it will be highly unlikely to get the terms and the conditions of the loan agreements to enable the director to forgive the loan
7:26 am
this will be highly, highly unlikely what the project intends to do is take one residential dwelling that was never intended to remain as part of the inventory so the the president to take that asset the single dwelling housing which when it was rented rented to students who at that time, were going to stanford university and he everyone thought they'd move out but because of the rent control laws once they graduated and become professionals they decide to stay there so we're not in a position to take any action to evict them the only thing would have been the ellis act and in order to fulfill the economics he development

requirement to generate a commercial space out of this housing unit it will mean we'll have to get rid of a housing unit a special condition to convert it into commercial 0 it is an impossibility so to cut to the chase the best outcome the key language that is in the assignment we'll take once we sell the asset we'll take a total of $250,000 and allocate it to the bigger project the higher immensity housing for seniors or special needs residents of san francisco which is highly, highly needed we've been working closely with the mayor's office and members of the public members of the community that support that that project it will yield community e community space at the center
7:28 am
that will be complimentary to the type of housing that will be built out so it's an ideal type of program in order to move forward we need the supported from the commission it is a bit of more complicated than it ought to be but no way around getting around it from the local prospective good thing the upside because m mc has been responsible and keeping the asset in working condition navigation the 24th street property has created more jobs than complamentdz it exceeded the number of jobs it wasn't the same category of jobs complaemd but a lot more than

required under the amendment that that fulfilled again that legal be combonlt stopped it from the full term caught between a rock and hard place the mayor's office has identified this as one of four important projects in the mission district and we're working with the, in fact, we've got a meeting with the mayor on thursday to look at feinstein's opportunity to get the project underway. >> okay. thank you do the commissioners have any questions. >> this loan is going on for a long time is it a loan or grant? it's structured as a loan but it is structured so it can be forgotten at the end of the term if all conditions met in if
7:30 am
not due >> what are the conditions. >> the loan agreement basically says all conditions have to be met and as was alluded to provided permanent jobs and done a lot of wonderful things for the community the big-ticket items we couldn't finds inclines for meeting the converting the space or renting out the space for commercial purposes that's the intent of the loan as you've heard they were not able to do that to rent to the tenants. >> okay. thank you. >> when just because you've mentioned it it when that condition was compassed did the agency not knows or the party know that the zoning wouldn't allow commercial purposes. >> an balm i didn't. >> awning on balm
