1994 where it is only 6 hundred and 93 businesses it outlines a sector with a high-level of turnover so closer and roenlz have gone from 1 thousand 2 hundred to 12 thousand to 11 so businesses in san francisco are at risk of being represented by new businesses and the number of businesses closing relative to new businesses opposing it 52 percent during the same time the commercial rent have arisen to a record high it averaged about $189 per square feet and the wildly recorded rentsd have risen 2 hundred plus percentage peaking at one hundred and 75

there's we anticipate the real estate prices will grow if the current demand keeps up we believe that the small business each gives the city it's character and what makes it educate he building that still has a responsibility to protect the small businesses isn't there from the economic pressures created by the itself affordability economic supervisor farrell has been working to stabilize our neighborhood and keep the businesses on the first step is the legislation we're putting forward to the legacy business legislation creates the register traffic to recognize long-standing community serving businesses as culture assets to the city and county of san francisco we intend to use that

as a fool for education and to legacy businesses and to draw attention to the 3 thousand businesses eligible for legacy art spaces and performance venues and community nonprofits to apply the businesses must be thirty years or older and applicants must appear before the small business commission and also commit to objecting the physical features and traditions including the craft culinary or others supervisor campos is not here and would request the committee make the following amendments after meeting are the stakeholder in the small business and open space community we want to remove the

small business legacy we intend to introduce as legislation for building owners to extend their leases to legacy businesses 3 amendments requiring the hearing to determine the status it was previous demonstrated by the department of small business and adding a language that requires the businesses to be headquartered in san francisco and third alexander the nonprofits to the eligible business allows i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you. i the to thank you and supervisor campos for working on this item i think it is a great idea i appreciate we're simplifying it and look at it future options i'll see is that the san francisco is immune from businesses we've cared about that is being crushed out and taking steps to retain them

is long overdue i see in on sunset street where i grew up it is being priced out buses if we get this done in a fiscally responsible matter i present your work i know if it's colleagues have comments as well and some of the issues that supervisor tang and i have talked about i want to make sure we're interested if making sure we're looking at the correct businesses all neighborhoods serving businesses like the ones that are listed like the shoe shine place we want to elbow campus those as well. >> supervisor mar. >> thank you, mr. al by the and supervisor campos this is great legislation i'm looking forward to the rebaiting beat trailing legislation i'm appreciative that nonprofits were added in

and guessing of the 3 thousand eligible businesses that even as more because more nonprofits might be added i'm thinking of the hundreds of that potential legacy businesses in my district from toy boat cafe to the richmond area nonprofit i used be to a respect but it is benefiting so many of our businesses and nonprofits that clearly serve the community and maintain the character of neighborhoods i'm looking forward to other legislation that your office and supervisor farrell's will be introducing to stabilize the neighborhoods that's a critical goal of or should be a critical goal of our city i'm pleased about the legislation and want to be added a co-sponsor as well as. >> supervisor tang. >> i think that supervisor farrell did address some of the

potential questions that i had which i look forward to potentially adding whether it's a full board or this protective that at this point it's been pared down to creating legacy business registry the only comments will make sure that we're not overhead per strip to should senate of the businesses supervisor farrell and i were talking about businesses that we're trying to help because they serve our recipe for thirty years or more like childcare or shooting centers on that provide important services not listed here again, our next phase or as a full board we can come up with a way to categorize them so thank you very much. >> okay. so i think that we
