8:36 am
going to school in the richmond district for the last 4 years say wherever there's the project sponsor demonstrated that the residential structure is not i'm done with renting and call un10u7b89d and people are living myself a san franciscan there right now point number 7 homeowners but two bedrooms is easier to find i really like 3 whether the project removed and just having looked at around rental projects subject to the inform three or four years i've arbitration it clearly does and there are a couple of others got to tell you it is hard we've done all the open homes and clear discretionary guidance to broker tours it's difficult when the planning commissioners, i you find something your feel like under the don't guess competing with buyers with all section 317 we s have to vote to cash that's crazy so i'm in favor of this project the more have this appeal i ask you to inventor of 3 bedroom type of join with the residents not only places would be great i know i'd like sue from the sierra club like to stay in the city myself but from the richmond that feel and again, i approve that this you have wealthier individuals project and hopes it goes forward thank you. buying and displacement of >> hi, i'm sharon protecting folks this is a
8:37 am
concern and rejecting the planning commission decision in basically me and my friend annie favor of boarder levels approach looking at section 317 of the planning code i urge you to vote supports this building the reason he support this project to the appeal and and a as is 6 units, 3 bedrooms is just described seconded great for the neighborhood supervisor breed further discussion. it talks about the diversity and >> supervisor breed. >> yes. i want to make a few people who have a family some people have 4 kids and no where comments about this particular to go no where to go item if the property had been one bedroom, 2 bedroom units and delipidated or issues with the property i think it would be a possible it's not possible to have a quality of life different ball game i'm not supportive of agreeing to when controlled unit and one of demolish rent control units a million chance to possibility whether or not their are we talking about out or someone you know get one occupies them or not its a and on top of that you're limited housing stock it's something we can't take for talking about 11 hundred secret, granted i would be more open to
8:38 am
3 bedroom unit that is affordable for people to guy to continuing the item that if go out and buy a 3 bedroom house supervisor mar were open to that based on his experience it's or condo in san francisco right now is like you have to win the clear he believes the project sponsor is not willing to negotiate or make sure that, in fact, there are options to maintain some level of affordability so i'm comfortable with supporting the appeal to maintain those rent controls if the project sponsor want to look at an alternative and look at a way in which he or she can support maintaining some level of affordability for the two units whether the of they're building or proposing to build and making sure that 2 of those somehow below market rate units but clearly it's not on the table at this point, i'll be
8:39 am
supporting supervisor mar in the motion. >> supervisor farrell. >> thank you president chiu i think i would genetically side with supervisor breed's comments we've got a larger stock of housing units this project is great in that regard on the one side you know two sound units of rent control stock that's a tough one to shallow especially in this environment i think i have questions as supervisor mar accident about they're vacant but not people saying they are they're being occupied so that lends itself to ms. claborn-welch i'll be open if there's discussions all around know for sale having two of them
8:40 am
being bmr units for a win-win situation i understand that supervisor mar said that's been going on i'd like to see that decision continue this is not going to be the last time we're going to hear this subject and if we create a pathway to be a win-win situations moving forward as we increase the housing stock is something i'll be in favor of and if this appeal gets upheld this project i hope comes back with that discussion in mind and relatively put forward this is a challenging one but at the end of the day as supervisor wiener mentioned as well two sound rent control unit today to tear them down for this without discussion i think supervisor mar mentioned over a year he's been trying to broker and clearly some
8:41 am
misinformation about whether or not those units are vacant i'm going to vote to uphold the appeal. >> supervisor kim. >> having not worked on this i'll prefer the continuance that being said i've not worked on the issue maybe there wasn't a clear viable option it would have been presented so if the vote is going to happen i'll be supervisor mar on sporting supporting the appeal i'm very excited about the possibility of building more 3 bedroom units and feel is certainly a block we've only built 23 units over the last 5 years in san francisco that being said bobby kohlman mentioned this but i'm one of the members of this board that made a commitment to support a band on demolishing of
8:42 am
rent control units here within the city certainly i've held up to that two developers approached me on van ness billboard that wanted to demolish project that i've let them know i can't support their project of this is on 2 units i'd like to see an alternative option i hope we can workout i think that the project sponsor attorneys oppose a solution i'm open this self-end the discussion but if the vote is happening today i'll be supporting the appeal. >> thank you it sounds like common ground on the issues and so i'm going to make a motion to continue those items by two
8:43 am
weeks. >> if the motion fails then we'll have to obviously look at the appeal but it seems like there are enough questions raised by a what is possible that we should give ourselves two weeks more information from the city attorney's office and see what makes sense so i move to two weeks. >> it takes precedence so is there a second and second by supervisor yee further discussion supervisor campos. >> thank you just i guess through the chair a question for supervisor mar i would defer to him in terms of not working on this project he believes there are as point in having a further discussion but
8:44 am
i certainly will defer to his judgment as he and his staff has been working on this matter. >> supervisor. >> i guess i should say that about a year ago i started the process to talk about some solution to as people are proposing the project sponsor is not provided that i don't feel like two additional weeks is going to move us closer to that point i'll urge you to vote on this today, i know any colleagues might be more optimistic but for a long time i've been skeptical so i am for the motion to continue. >> other comments colleagues okay supervisor wiener. >> yeah. i'm supervisor mar i'd
8:45 am
like to withdraw the motion i think it would be worth exploring this but supervisor mar's office has been involved for sometime so i'm going to request to withdrew the motion. >> supervisor wiener has withdrawn his motion to continue. >> i thought i would support a continuance i wanted to stated some of my comments the lion share i hoped we'd seen a come mice i know that the planning department has heard my time and time again, i building in creating additional housing stock it addresses some of our problems we're facing in san francisco so but i think one of the public commenters made it clear in saying we're struggling
8:46 am
right now with competing policy goals i'd like to see additional units created i said the struggles that supervisor mar went through in trying to talk with the project sponsor but i want to go on record to look at the situations that are similar as we're dealing with on the other hand, a great project where we're creating additional family sized unit i've been hardship on 3 bedrooms i think are great but on the other hand, trying to preserve the rent control heirs stock so i'd like to work with the planning staff to how do we tackle that. >> thank you with that, colleagues any further comments let's take a roll call vote on supervisor mar's - >> so i motion we table item
8:47 am
thirty and we approve item 31 which disastrous the conditional use authorization with the planning commission. >> second on that motion. >> seconded by supervisor breed and mr. john gibner, deputy city attorney in her. >> john gibner, deputy city attorney two comments first, the board should loss approve item 32 directing the clerk to prepare the finding and second just to inform that finding motion i wanted to make sure that i understand number of points have been made based on the record supervisor mar referred to some of the factors in section 317 that regular meetings are held on the second and fourth tuesday of each month. the conditional use authorization for circumstance one of them is that state converts rent control housing to other forms and removal o 0
8:48 am
removals the affordability of existing housing and i believe that because many of the comments made eye by the supervisors it doesn't preserve the neighborhood cultural and that economic diversity. >> that's correct. >> okay supervisor mar assumed what you're city attorney has suggested is part of your motion okay with that roll call vote. >> supervisor mar supervisor tang supervisor wiener. >> supervisor yee supervisor avalos supervisor breed supervisor campos supervisor chiu supervisor farrell supervisor kim
