more than any retail category in the city. restaurant week is a great way to celebrate small businesses in san francisco as well as the cultural and culinary diversity they em body. since we are in the restaurant week, i'm introducing this as an imperative item and purely commendatory. the other thing i wanted to talk about today which i'm really excited about, yesterday mare -- mayor lee and i announced the launch cleanpowersf this year. this is a huge victory. after more than a decade of work and effort it seems we have won an unwinnable fight. clean power is what san francisco can do to combat climate change and one of my highest priorities as a supervisor. over the last few years i was told time and
7:31 am
time that clean power was dead an it was a pipe dream and we should give up on it and we didn't give up and protecting our climate and protecting our city from rising tides around us is important. now long last we have permission from the mayor's office a provide with pg & e with cleaner power, competitive prices, removal technology and structure with 100 pers renewable options and jobs. marin and other counties have proven this model can succeed. yesterday's announcement was a culmination of decades of work by countless leaders like supervisor john avalos and supervisor eric mar, other advocates, eric brooks,
7:32 am
hudson, kim malcolm and everyone at lafco. i'm excited for this and this is truly an historic moment. now it's time to make sure this program launches and succeeds. the last item i have today, colleagues is nct's, you know i talked about mcd's. i passed legislation creating neighborhood districts on divisadero and fillmore. today i'm introducing legislation to add nct's but there are some important differences between our mcd and nct's. nct's do
7:33 am
not require parking. if the builder wants to build more open space, all ncd's include the 5 feet height bonus for more inviting ground floors, all nct's regulate residential density through existing requirement private bulk private open space dwelling unit mix design guidelines. ncd's on the other hand use strict lot area ratios that do not have other city needs. this is what my district talks about at this community organization meeting. so this is what they care about. this is what they get. nct's put limits on residential units to smaller units to prevent a loss of larger family units and nct's also require 40
7:34 am
percent of new development to have two or more bedrooms again in order to serve a diverse mix of households including households with children. the fillmore divisadero ncd's have the requirement of nct and allow for buildings with ground floors. these ordinances will add decontrolling of density, the regulations on dwelling unit division and family-friendly dwelling unit mix. this has been a long process with the community to establish these districts. we with a tonight get the ncd's in place last year so we moved forward with those and now colleagues i ask for your support if further redefining them this year. the rest i submit. city clerk: thank you, supervisor breed, supervisor campos requested to be referred. >>supervisor david campos: i want to comment on the
7:35 am
supervisor wiener's release for staffing. one suggestion that as part of that analysis we look at the department's efforts to civilianize. if there are jobs that police officers that can be done by civilians, i will ask that be included on the analysis because that will free up officers that could do other work on the streets. >>supervisor john avalos: i would like to piggy back on that as well in terms of civilianization and looking at with an it's to get more officers on the streets and have them circulating in a different way. the control obviously seems to work on that part on the effort.
7:36 am
>> that completes roll call for introduction. >> okay, let's go to public comment. >> at this time the public may comment for up to two 2 minutes on the items which are not on the board . public comment is not allowed on items on the board. please direct your matters to the board and not a specific member. speakers using assistance may be allowed more time. if you have to introduce documents, please introduce your item. >>supervisor london breed: welcome. >> public speaker: thank you, good evening, 6:50 director of library user and talked to you a number of times of problems of the catalog of overlay that the library wants toen --
7:37 am
install on january 14th. in the meantime i would like to say the bay area reporter on its january 15th, 21st edition privacy concerns abound common. that's available not only at the library but at electronically e bar.com. i'm glad to say this is the first not just criticism of the privacy issues that this subjects patrons to, but also the censorship issues that occur within this as well as the exploitation of library patrons information and expression. i urge you to read
7:38 am
that and ask you also to look into the fact that this was never authorized by at library commission nor was it authorized by the supervisors. it's a three year3-year $469,000 contract and the library plans to bring it out for a so-called soft launch in february and so-called hard launch to the public in march. again, this is trashing patron privacy that enables censorship of patron expression and exploits patron contributions with no compensation and the catalog is deceptively sold. >>supervisor london breed: thank you, next speaker, please. >> public speaker: >> good afternoon, my name is will ma pang founder and

-- >> supervisors, richard decree. eureka valley. i'm not alone here tonight. people have signed my petition for having ed lee and governor brown call a moratorium on the destruction of candle stick. this may sound absurd but i'm here because the city changed the my patent and i have had to give up my dream on having a patent to solve climate change. i have been involved
7:44 am
in climate change since the mid-30s and i can't believe that nobody, we are just now beginning to admit and say the words climate change. i'm delighted to say that here tonight. the destruction of candle stick is going to be a mistake. nobody vogted to do that. it was a ballot measure where they never mentioned that candle stick would be destroyed if 49ers were to leave town. the facts of the matter is that stadiums like candle stick like in oakland represent fossil fuel resources that we have to conserve and stepped --

7:46 am
i'm very concerned about this area. i have lived there for 21 years and i have seen the density grown out of control for the last 20 years. this will make things worse. the president alluded to something else and i had no knowledge of that. i support affordable housing for people. there is no study the impact will have on our community. no infrastructure. this has all the possibilities especially for affordable housing. this administration has to think of this and i ask this board and this boa board to do that.

but for the fact there is no such things in the atmosphere. separate and in viable from all others it is all of san francisco as one breathing hole you must consider. you will get the same free flawed argument supporting them and you will be able to counter them. the first t connection to lung cancer. that argument is good because that connection is weak. however nicotine in whatever form is strongly and favorably associated with heart disease. it's the tar heat that is associated with lung cancer. the second answer is that no nicotine escapes the user. we normally breathe in air that is.04 cash diekdzrbon dioxide and 16 percent oxygen. it's on views -- obvious that a
