8:41 pm
miles act for people to maintain their properties in a historic way the intent of this legislation that we passed a few years ago was to increase access to the miles act that helps homeowners to make costly improvements to roars structures we prioritized the historic preservation around the architecture of the thought city we want our historic building to be maintained as costing hass as that would be the miles act provides for property tax credits for owners to restrict a 10 year maintenance for a deliciously in terms of what the owner has to do to the building the miles act applies to property that are contributing
8:42 pm
to a local state or historic building or landmarked we've put a lot of maintenance and want them to be done the miles act provides an incentive to maintain them in an appropriate way in 2012 other communities for example, la had a robust miles program and oakland across the bay a smaller city than san francisco had a robust plan significantly bigger than san francisco over time there were few miles a acts in san francisco other than a larger properties almost no small homeowners that were participating because the process here was difficult and long and expensive and unpredictable legislation we adopted a few
8:43 pm
years ago has significantly improved that and made a streamlined and more predictability thanks to the planning department and the assessors office we've seen a bunch of miles act glutton and last year, it was approved a series of small homes for miles act contracts 3 miles act contracts before his today are from the newest historic district in san francisco one that i authored and this board elective last day last year the historic district immediately north of delores park the all of a sudden dead end street pierce carmelita it's a behalf historic district and
8:44 pm
the earth is remarkable and those 3 contract were all recommended for approval by the historic preservation commission and in addition the 3 contracts have the support of the san francisco architecture heritage and we've described a letter from the executive director of the heritage strongly supporting those krikts contracts so colleagues, i ask firing support and any questions about the process for the miles act the planning department is here to answer our questions. >> supervisor avalos. >> thank you president chiu so clooepgz colleagues which of those in committee last week, i was not ready to support it i'm kind of on the fence i actually feel the miles act works pest when it's looking at preserving the property in blighted areas of the city and this part of san
8:45 pm
francisco is definitely not an area that is blighted perhaps in 25 to thirty years ago it could have been but 40 years ago it was in that condition but right now not those property are already in pretty good condition one of the projects where the building is looking for the miles act designation as accomplished much of the work that is done in terms of the renovation i know it covers maintenance a separate issue but i actually feel that the miles act is really geared towards looking at parts of neighborhoods that are more blighted where the tax break can actually help people who have less means to do do renovations on their homes to do them in
8:46 pm
this case, i building this landmark district is in pretty good condition and the buildings there are worth $1.7 million we the people are actually owning those buildings can actually do the renovation without the tax break i'll rather we didn't unable to to happen i'll be voting against the miles act on those 3 items. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you, mr. president i appreciate supervisor avalos remarks but i disagree first of all, it's an initial matter colleagues this particular area wasn't 25 or 20 years ago, it was a very challenged neighborhood until recently it was a point challenge due to the incredible work of the residents
8:47 pm
of that area this has been a drastically improved area the residents of that area deserve a lot of credit we shouldn't reward them but no longer going to give me miles act contracts i want to note that the miles act is not just for obligated properties but to give homeowners an incentive you can do work on historic building in a lot of different was and range of costs in terms of the care and you can go above and beyond to honor the district of those property or change of venues choose no to go above and beyond but entering into a contract you've gone beyond to honor the
8:48 pm
district of the property if we're going to get into a situation in a historic place not considered to be blighted whatever intense you use we're not going to have miles act contracts in san francisco i can assure you that will be a long time before we see a historic district formed in san francisco when we went to the formation there was a lot of concern in the neighborhood you're putting extra obligations without benefit and the miles act is that benefit it's not a full benefit he in terms of counter balancing all the obligations but something i think it will send a powerful message that we start rejecting those contracts from people not to support of the creation of the historic district i hope
8:49 pm
we'll support those. >> at this time madam clerk. >> supervisor mar supervisor tang supervisor wiener supervisor yee supervisor avalos no supervisor breed supervisor campos supervisor chiu supervisor farrell supervisor kim there are 9 i's. >> one no. >> the resolutions are adapted. >> item 25. >> is a resolution to authorize the use of city for the internal council for the san francisco anniversary on 15. >> on to a different kind of resolution today is a resolution declaring february 2015 internal 50th anniversary and 30 years the internal to use the san
