12:01 pm
process. >> okay supervisor campos. >> thank you, mr. chair i want to and again, thank you to the members of the public who come out to speak and actually that this is unfortunate in some rights it actually problematic of what is happening here that there are no representatives from the hosting platforms that are here regarding the enforcement of this law they're absent speaks vitamins and that's very unfortunate i want to go back to planning going back to the issue of the data that you have requested of hosting platforms you was wondering if you had a list if you can describe what that data is so we are aware of that. >> thank you, supervisor so if the ordinance were to the
12:02 pm
amended to remove the distinction between hosted and non-hosted and require platforms to provide a platform number and only list the numbers essentially the numbers we need to enforcement a listing the registration number and the number of nights that have's or hesitate an represented that is the enforcement concerns under the current legislation we would need a much more information the address of san francisco and cross-reference those with registration numbers in terms of what in their registered and be able to discern when a which ones are hosted and non-hosted and whether or not the liz was for partial or an entire unit that's a general idea for improvement there is a lot of discussion about the data we need data to determine what i
12:03 pm
have impacts from the 0 housing stock and other data we need to discuss. >> thank you. >> yeah. on those policy side and making sure we understand how it fixes the city's housing stocking we don't need to know the specific address but the in flow that shows you the neighborhoods the short-term rentals are occurring in and other factors to help us how the market effect is working for the new market and how it is effectively the housing stock. >> i know that we have to run i want to say that i hope we don't have to go down the path of issuing a subpoena to average and other hosting platforms i hope they client with the request but we have a obligation to get that so i'm certainly ready to pursue that but i hope
12:04 pm
that it is not necessary thank you. >> supervisor kim. >> thank you supervisor farrell and also to supervisor christensen for calling for this hearing today as members of the public and the planning department i have trailing legislation that is following on the implication of short-term rentals specifically around providing additional resources around short-term rental enforcement and this is to private right of action that will be going to the planning department planning in early april enforcement is the key issue it is one that the board is unified around making sure we have the enforcement around short-term rentals if f this is activity we're inform legal lids it is a cause i have concern prior to the legislation going going into blast 12 hundred complaints will short-term rentals only two actions filed
12:05 pm
bits city attorney when was short-term rentals were completely illegal anything under thirty days was illegal we as a city had resource issues in enforcing this issue i had a couple of questions i tomentd ask i think this legislation did move us you know maybe 60 or 50 percent of what and able to accomplish a lot of things but still a lot of tie ups i had questions about the specific pieces we've put in one i had received an e-mail about two questions of how notifications to homeowner association and property owners were cutting-edge specifically with hr n planning is required to send a notice to the cpr n when someone within a that address how are we treating that
12:06 pm
process. >> thank you, supervisor so nevertheless of the notification the legislations called for notice to the owner of the building once we have a complete application in regards to the associations where cc&rs that applies in the rh1 zoning district and only those entities that require the notifications within the zoning district which that will apply. >> so in the case of the hoa or the property owner the burden of novelist the landlord or hoa is on the applicant. >> no for any applications we'll notify of building owners they have requested to be notified than the department will notify them as well.
12:07 pm
>> and the cc&r are to be notified and it's my understanding no request i'll reiterate there are my hoa's that wyoming want to be notified they make that request to our staff. >> specifically it was a hoa's if they want a notifications of an applicant within the building they'll make a request. >> nothing in the prevention it only allows for that notification if there within an rhd if you're a downtown district with an hoa nothing that gives notice to the hoa in the legislation currently it only applies to the stage attachment. >> so if the hoa wants short-term rentals within they're building they have to go
12:08 pm
through the listing and kind of be the watchdog to insure that their membership is actually complying. >> private action yes and i had a question also this board also passed that we will prohibit any units that had done ellis act evictions from the short-term rental program this is an amendment supported by new president breed in october i'm curious how this is being enforced. >> john gibner, deputy city attorney the board adapted that nestling amendment when necessary considered the short-term rental ordinance in october board duplicated the file sent the duplicated version back to committee the land use commission and that certain
12:09 pm
portions in the planning commission and they'll be considering the enforcement the planning commission is not going to review the ellis act provisions because the planning commission already considered that piece but the ellis act is pending in land use and i didn't royals that was nelson mandela the trailing legislation may i ask for recommendations this is something that collectively the board felt strongly about in unit where there is ellis act we don't want them in the short-term rental program what's the mechanism that will be enforce. >> scott sanchez planning department we have good communication with the rent board and part of the mayors directive we've reviewed the applications and it is port pa of the provision in section 317
12:10 pm
we have dialog for a mechanism by which we can communicate with the rent board and for the applications. >> i know there has on a ton of questions i watched the questioning i really want to press on the issue this is an issue that come up over and over again in the fall the hosted days and the enforcement piece i know that planning has been clear both today and the last couple of months it did not have a good system or process by which to determine whether a host has been living in their unit 2 hundred and 75 days a year you, however that's not what we allow we allow for unlimited hosted nights aids obviously limited unhosted nights being this is the con drum the planning department is
12:11 pm
in we're asking you to enforce that legislation and everyone in the chamber is saying hosting is one of the priorities i mean for this legislation what ideas has the planning come up with for this challenging work. >> thank you so, yes this is a challenge very clearly and i think the best answers at this time will be technological solution about the number of nights straightforward to get information directly from the hosting platforms if that's not available would be provacative look at every possible avenue to collect that information. >> thank you i don't think this is the last time we'll having been be having to discussion a robust is happening as we move
12:12 pm
forward with this legislation i should add i think it is important to figure out how to regulate this behavior i've said it in most past we know this provides a benefit for many of the resident and make sure through the public comment a lot of the resident want to see us continue but how to regulate i still believe that you you know 90 days considering unhosted it the appropriate amount of people to do something about shoulder to shoulder but other than that is a full-time business so more like a bed-and-breakfast i want to reiterate something things regardless of the recurs additional funding and staff we have put the planning department in a difficult position of we gave you all the money and staff
12:13 pm
when you see a registration when you see sorry not a registration when you see an airbnb or b rb page going out go up without a number but no address i'm not sure how you're going to enforce on those units the only way to address it is not just airbnb many others they have to self-regulate and need to kickoff members of their community not complying on the law or require you put your address on this so the planning department can find you and is you need to register with the planning department and second the hosted and non-hosted issue i've talked about in no matter how many staff members we give you how can you determine how
12:14 pm
many nights out of the year all the legislation was important i'm glad it's in mass and a lot of good things went into it i'm concerned about the planning department ability to enforce good and positive short-term rental behavior the kind we hear at public comment when we haven't given you the tools i hope we continue it work through this as a legislative level that we can be able to solve this problem as a team i want to thank the planning department i look forward to the continued dialog in april and may when it comes back to the full board. >> supervisor. >> thank you supervisor jane kim i i want to thank our planning department this hearing is a conversation that will continue and certainly being b be having this going forward so colleagues
