documented let's do the right thing and say no to those units obey transformed inform commercial that is a a apartment is a rear bird indeed. >> thank you very much. is there any additional public comment please come up. >> good afternoon. i'm a san francisco native i was born here and attended school theory e here this is my hometown i will and work in the neighborhood that is effected by the interim controls and my job can't be found somewhere else there's nothing as remothering as my apartment in mid-market in the hard place when landlords wouldn't u couldn't find the businesses in the 2000 they've transformed the units into residential and now that it is a

hot designation landlord are profiting off hardworking people are 55th in droves transforming the modest homes and apartments into are commercial spaces an earlier commenter said on and on only two buildings are in this position that is not true mr. colorado year 2r0i7b9 plaza several hundred people were evicted therapy displaced a block from our home clearly that that is a problem 2, 3, 4 our neighborhood and district i'm glad district 68 is targeting and you ultimately it will be spaepd superoto another area we're only the tip of the iceberg. >> may i continue. >> thank you very much. >> the city is looking to

the day they often say thanks for stopping and not showing you the limits doing we we do as business people i encourage you to do that is there any member of the public who wishes to speak on item 2 seeing none, public comment is closed colleagues is there a motion on this item. >> yes. i'd like to make a motion would like to make closing comments and move forward with a positive recommendation. >> thank you. i want to make a couple of points. >> as amended? >> yes. as amended thank you madam clerk i want to make a couple of comments for the response on the members of the public back in the fall of 2013 actually in december of 2013, the mayor issued an executive order directing all the

departments including the san francisco department of building inspection to examine possibly lost of housing over-the-counter permits and this nearly closes the will that we're finding a number of our buildings they're not legally converted to the issue and i want to recuse myself i'm offending that anyone would stop the voice of their community by muzzling the voice of their representative we're seeing in this city this is not the tenants on market street have been the most vocal not the only ones that approached our office and go down to second street and brandon we were getting complaints from tenant

south of market and were getting issued eviction 90s notice for illegal living in the unit those resident were in the unit because property owners were take advantages of the poor office market through the 90s and the 2000 time period and illegal renting those to residents you've heard many have lived in for 18 years and were put out on the market as affordable residential units because the property owners couldn't lease them out and mid mark has the highest vacancies and they decided to go out into the residential market and illegal rent those and now the market is doing well and the

landowner that are profiting off the tenants now want to profit and this addresses that issue why i've taken a position so to the accusation that i'm biased i believe this is a priority this city and that's why we've introduced this i want to thank the tenants for spanking i think i know this is a difficult thing to do awhile i get to stand here and sit in the office and talk about protecting the tenant you're the ones living in the unit and harassed by the property owner and not having the security and clear up i want to thank you for standing up on the issue many tenants walk away we're not talking about moving

to oakland people are moving to fart place in the state even though they have families and jobs here i want to thank the planning department the mayor's office and the department of building inspection and the board of supervisors for being criminally supportive of this community offer the last year and a half everyone has really doubled down and be creative and thought how to look at those when the property owners said they couldn't comply with the health and other safety issues we've worked with the department to make those issues go away and resolutions to keep the tenants in place now the property owners are continuing to evict those tenant so, anyway i ask the land use committee for your support of

the interim controls and thank you. >> thank you one comment before i call on supervisor wiener please add me as a sponsor one thing points interesting a similar movement in the design district san francisco you may recall the 2 henry adams was looking to convert office space and push out the existing tenants those are pdr tenants and something similar. >>was afoot last year and supervisor kim and i have been in discussion to figure out how do we protect the tenants whether their residential tenants or pdr business so this is not a unique situation to district there is what similar pressure happening snael

supervisor wiener thank you i'd like to add my name as a cory was surprised this came back so this was still happening i remember when there was happening and supervisor kim articulated the statements by the owner saying the city is forcing us to evict those tenants eaten i know that there's a lot of work among the department to figure out that and this was no longer the case so i find s it sad we're in the situation where residents are faces with eviction those interim controls are very important i'll say that our housing crisis riders mia any approaches around adding new housing of varieties to address the for a second we have an

imploding population but keeping resident stable is job one this is away one way of doing that unfortunately not in a in this case situation as unique as described allergy some so i'll be supporting this and add my name >> thank you very much so to the members of the public i want to bring something to your attention the interims controls have to sit in the land use committee and will continue to the next meeting settled he scheduled for march second. >> madam clerk call item 3. >> item 3 is the hearing to discuss the city's late night transportation needs and supervisor wiener is the author and will present the

presentation. >> thank you, madam chair for succeeding scheduling this for today colleagues we're going to be receiving from the late night working group the report that has receive prepared over what we need to do and can do as a city and region to improve the late night transportation colleagues i mean in 2011 i requested our city visit prepare an environmental review on our late night committee this city a twenty-four hour city we know our night life is so central to the culture and identity of san francisco but we also wanted to learn what is the actual economic contributions spoke of this city eave learned as you recall a straggling to many i

department of motor vehicles didn't think about before by the way was intensive that our night life economy is a $9. billion with a b industry it employees 60 thousand workers and contributes more than $50 million a year to our city coffers and so we learned what i think a lot of people initiating knew it sector matters to the economy and the culture of our city unfortunately, our transportation system in san francisco sometimes acts as if everyone works 9:00 a.m. to p.m. and no one comes home after that so night life transportation even early evening transportation in san francisco california be very, very challenging and once past

340i7b9d it is hatred and sometimes impossible we know that whether it's patrons trying to get home from a night out at a bar or live music venue in a way they don't have to drive or workers that get off late night or trying to get to and from work on transit without having to drive and people that often cannot afford to take transportation to and from work everyday we've heard about the incredible deficiencies whether the lack of 24-hour bart or the real sketchy reliability of your overnight bus lines over a years ago we shed light on the issues we've heard from employers and workers and owners of late night

establishment and patrons and we heard about this challenges that we have shortly after that i authored legislation calling for the creation of a late night transportation working group and asking for the working group to produce a strategic plan for what we can do in the short-term and lutheran to improve the late night objectives that working group formed from the leadership of the office of economic workforce development as well as the entertainment commission and i want to thank benefiting from oewd as well as jocelyn from the entertainment commission that led the working group it consisted of various stakeholders employers and employer groups labor union, and workers that are not in

level the feedback we've received is common sense but also served as a helpful guidepost for this vision and fast reliable transportation and network demand and save streets and easily access to information and loading and unloading and 24-hour rail services complimented by other violation that's the long-term in terms of the recommendations i'm going to turn it over to liz thank you. >> thanks ben and good afternoon liz benson with the county of transportation authority i played the technical person and it was a consultant who was unable to be here with the working group staff so wanted to walk through the process how we

got to where we are it followed up a mr. haney process we vested a process and did this to understand the need to understand solutions that done a little bit more and finally get them into the final report released today there should have been report copies to the board members and some for the members of the public wishing to review it is also available on the night liquify sf.org the report walks through 15 specific recommendations and proposes 5 immediate steps to the recommendations and also suthsd two months to get a little bit clear to define the roublts of next steps we're recommending so starting with a few highlights of the analysis analysis we

wanted to speak to how many people are traveling during the late night housing from 5 to 9:00 p.m. and that's 2 hundred and 65 thousand trips a those trips slit out with more of them happening in the midnight about 85 percent and the other percentage from 5:00 a.m. from the midnight to 5:00 a.m. 2/3rd's are regional meaning they are one trip to san francisco and the other to other counties the total number of trips is 7 percent of billable trips we imagine them their equal to the trips on a giant scale we looked at load sharing and learned despite how much public transportation coverage you

create the late night hours it remains 20 percent that speaks to the lifeline value they provide for some people that is the only way to get around ben mentioned the survey it is available in english and chinese online as well as in paper 230r789 that represents the issues that people care about not the total population in the bay area here we see one of the survey response questions this was asking people which issues effect their choices in terms of how they travel in the late night housing red is somewhat and as previously mention bart not running auto necessity was by far the issue that people said wer
