area regional network program. >> same house same call without objection this resolution is adopted unanimously madam collect please call item 14. >> an ordinance to compel persons producing drugs for sale in san francisco to participate in a drug steward ship program to provide for implementation and enforcement and fees and penalties and making environmental findings. >> president breed thank you before you today is legislation that addresses both a public safety and an environmental concern. what we do with leftover medication. flushing medication down the toilets and then to the sewage treatment plants that are not designed to remove them meaning the chemicals end up polluting the bay and putting drugs in the trash also pose risk as the chemicals can either leak out

of landfills or get pumped to the sewage plants and not get removed. it's easy to think you can close the medicine cabinet and forget about it and unfortunately that can have the worst consequences of all. . the california poison control system states that more than 90 percent of accidental poisonings happen in the home last year san franciscans called the poison control center over 46 hundred times about pharmaceutical expose ures and nationally people died of prescription drug overdoses

in 2013 and the cdc states that 15 thousand people die every year from prescription painkiller overdoses and that's more than heroin and cocaine combined so unwanted and expired medications are not just an environmental problem they they can be a public safety risk and we may not be able to prevent or remove all chemicals from the bay but we can do something here in san francisco to help. this legislation will require drug manufacturers with city oversight to fund and operate full collection programs just as they do throughout europe colombia and brazil and directly to the north and south in canada and mexico and consumers could simply place their old medications in secure drop off bins in pharmacies or return by mail all at no cost and without an increase in drug

prices san francisco has actually been operating a pilot program for about 3 years and in that time our pilot has faithfully collected 23.5 tons of medicine. that's 47 ,000 pounds of chemicals that would not end up in our bay or in the wrong hands because of this program and imagine how much more we could collect and properly dispose of if we could include more drop off locations citywide and the ordinance before you today colleagues will provide a long-term safe medical did i medical dispose al program and it's informed by the similar programs in alameda and king county washington and also supported by a diverse coalition of

supporters i've ever seen the san francisco police department the puc the department of the environment the department of public health the san francisco medical society representing over 15 hundred physicians and medical students and the dog pack of san francisco and the san francisco suicide prevention and alcohol justice and the national coalition of alcoholism and other drug addictions bay area and statewide environmental retail and senior groups including california product steward ship council and the california retailer association and green cities california california against waste the california association of retired americans and national organizations including national resources defense council, the clean water action, the national coalition against prescription drug abuse and the product steward ship institution and we have a letter of strong support from

all 12 of the independent pharmacies that have been participating in the city's pilot program and in considering this issue we can either side with the police officers the environmentists or drug treatment centers or seniors in our own city department or we can side with the drug companies and we had almost 2 and a half hours of testimony so i i won't revisit every detail here but i want to address a few questions i've heard in recent days first i know some will say this legislation won't remove all pharmaceuticals from our waters or stop addiction. i know that i would never argue this is a cure all but i also don't think we should do nothing just because we can't do everything would we be better off if those 23 million tons of drugs had gone into the bay or landfill instead? second, some ask why

we don't add a fee onto retail drug prices and the department of of the environment explained the rational and the concept that a company should actually be responsible for the products it creates and i'll add that this program will cost in the in in the range of 4 to 5 hundred $500,000 compared to the sales drug companies do in this city every year and third a question why is it not mandatory for retailers and i've been working closely with pharmacy operators in the city including kaiser and wal greens and cvs and i'm confident they will participate when the program is launched. it is a value add for their customers so will we be able to get

55-drop off locations citywide as this legislation seeks? i've added an amendment with those two plus all ten police stations and the 13 locations in the pilot, we have 25 locations we are coming out of gates with half of the drop off locations that the program already needs as we heard in committee in king county washington 86 pharmacies have already made firm commitments to participate in this program and per section 2205 b-1 the program can use other collection methods if there are not enough retail locations available. i will not support an amendment to make participation mandatory for retailers. the california

retailers association just sent a a letter expressing their commitment to keep working with the department on this ordinance after it passes. if for some reason the retailers don't act in good faith as they absolutely have been we can always revisit the idea of making it mandatory and lastly we intentionally left out flexibility in the ordinance for drug manufacturers to determine the most effective and efficient way to operate the program my hope is that they will setup a third party funded by manufacturers in amounts proportionate. the department of environment will be there to oversee and assist in every step of the way it's not our role as legislators to

operate or micromanage this program but to empower the department to lead and give then their success with the pilot and the talent of their ed debbie rafael, i have every confidence the department will succeed i want to thank my cosponsor supervisor mar and supervisor yee and to many of the folks like debbie rafael and maggie johnson at the department of the environment and all of the stakeholders and supporters throughout the city and county. >> san francisco won't back down from protecting our environment or protecting public safety now is the time for us to pass this law and make it convenient and safe for

san franciscans to do the right thing with their leftover medication. colleagues, i hope you will support this legislation today. thank you. >> thank you president breed supervisor yee. >> thank you and thank you president breed for such a you know, detailed summary of the discussion we had at the gao committee we had a very lengthy discussion there and there were actually many many questions that were asked and it was a really good discussion and i want to thank all of the stakeholders that actually showed up for that discussion it lasted for 2 and a half hours but i wanted to also acknowledge as you have, debbie, from the san francisco department of environment because some of the questions that were asked and i appreciate there was a follow

up memo basically the answers to many of the questions that were asked and they were very thorough and i could see there shouldn't be any holes for anybody to criticize that we that we shouldn't be doing this and certainly when i asked for examples of timeline, some people may be concerned about whether we can do this in the period that we cited in the legislation, it was pretty evident that from alameda's effort and from king's canyon in washington that this is really really doable and you cited, president breed king's county up in washington and in 3 months they were able to do this it didn't take much time to actually reach out. . they have 8 pharmacies already signed up and so forth and i

really appreciate it and i hope everybody else here my colleagues will support it also. >> thank you supervisor yee supervisor kim supervisor kim. >> thank you i want to add my name as a cosponsor. >> okay colleagues is there any additional commentary on this item? okay seeing none colleagues can we take this item same house same call? okay without objection this ordinance is adopted nan under unanimously on the first reading. >> okay. madam clerk. >> thanks colleagues. madam clerk can you please call item number 15. >> an ordinance to amend the planning code when adding dwelling units to existing buildings undergoing retrofit

and making the the appropriate findings. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you very much madam president colleagues today before us is legislation that will allow for the addition of accessory dwelling units also known as in law units in buildings either undergoing mandatory or voluntarily retro fits and provide an incentive to add new accessible moderate typically moderate income housing without public subsubsidy and for buildings to provide seismic retrofit and this builds upon the castro

unification that creates new rent control units in san francisco because the legislation provides that if a unit is added into an existing rent controlled building it will also be rent controlled and has the support of various organizations including livable city the hack and was endorsed unanimously by the commission and we know we're in the midst of a housing crisis and we need all types of housing. in law units or dwelling units are the most affordable type of non subsidized housing and tend typically to be smaller on the ground level and they are typically older buildings and most of the infrastructure is already in place in the building and so it costs less

to produce the unit than it does to create a new unit and they are dee centralized and spread out we're not talking about large numbers of units being placed in one location. as i note in various studies have demonstrated that these units tend to be much more affordable than other units studies out of uc berkeley and hud and aarp and of course there's no one solution to the housing crisis but in-law units and a more flexible approach to in-law units are 1 piece of the puzzle and this legislation allows owners of properties to add additional accessory dwelling units within the existing building envelope if they are participating in the city's established and well-defined mandatory or

voluntary program and we're continuing to work with the department of building inspection to establish policies and guidelines to make it easy and as smooth as possible for people for people to be able to add these units within the confines of the building code and other codes. so colleagues i want to thank everyone who helped with this legislation and colleagues i ask for your support. >> okay. supervisor supervisor kim supervisor kim. >> thank you and i want to acknowledge supervisor wiener for his work on this legislation and i'm not going to bring up in this legislation today but just want to note for the future i do think it's important for us to create ways r ways for us to increase density and create new units in san francisco that being said

as we provide this valuable new unit space i do think it's important to prohibit those units from short-term rentals and it came up last week at the land use committee but pertains to all dwelling units that we're allowing through recent legislation over the last year i just think that we have to ensure that these units are specifically used for housing only and i worry that it would be easy to turn these units into full-time bed and breakfast and that's not an amendment that i'm introducing today because i think this is only one slice but i think it's something i want further discussion with as our legislation comes back to the full board so it's a larger conversation about this type of dwelling unit not just the one supervisor wiener is introducing today. thank you

supervisor kim supervisor kim supervisor campos. >> thank you i want to thank supervisor wiener for bringing this forward and i want to associate myself with the comments of supervisor kim supervisor kim and i think as we have trailing legislation on the issue of short-term rentals that we should consider including a limitation on these types of dwellings i think that we have yet to fully understand the impact of short-term rentals on our housing stock and i think that whatever we can do to ensure that housing units are in fact made available for housing and not short-term rentals is an important consideration so thank you. >> okay. supervisor wiener? >> thank you madam president thank you to supervisor kim supervisor kim and supervisor campos for raising the issue of short-term rentals clearly we want these units to be residential dwelling units and under the legislation that we

past late last year like every other dwelling unit they will have to have a permanent resident living in there under the terms of what we passed and whether the unit is a a 100-year old apartment building or new in-law unit or new construction somewhere we need to make sure people are complying with the law for residential housing units. >> thank you supervisor wiener okay can we take this item same house same call without objection this ordinance is passed on the first reading unanimously madam clerk can you please call the next item. >> item 16 to rent units with agitmg housing partners and authorize the director of planning to execute an

agreement for the rental incentive option for the residential development proposed at 1201-25 tennessee streets for the period of 30 years. >> supervisor kim supervisor kim. >> thank you. i think when this came forward to us at land use last week i was surprised to learn that within the neighborhoods that we give our developers a rental incentive option within the umu code of our eastern neighborhoods that allows you to further decrease your on site housing from what was already increased via the trust fund back in 2012 and given the lower cost of land because these neighborhoods have typically been a mix of industrial and other type of

mixed uses and because of that if you build housing in this area we ask you to build more affordable housing than less and via the trust fund we have lower and you can lower it even further via this rental incentive option and they are eligible and i will be supporting item 16 and 17 today and we have asked the city attorneys office to draft an amendment to the eastern neighborhood that would take out this rental incentive in the future we need to build as much affordable housing as possible and i do believe given the current housing market that developers can afford this we've already reached out to some of the developers as well to let them know we'll be working on this. >> thank you supervisor kim supervisor kim can we take

this item same house same call? without objection this is adopted unanimously. madam clerk can you please call the next item. >> item 17 a resolution to approve an agreement with rain tree and to authorize the director of planning to execute an agreement for the residential development proposed at 2051 third street for a period of 20 years. >> without objection this is adopted unanimously. >> item 18 resolution to authorize the lease and facilities agreement which will operate for a term of 66 years at a total base rent of one dollar. okay supervisor kim supervisor kim. >> thank you. i just want to congratulate the members of the mexican museum community who i

see here today the resolution before us authorizes this lease agreement between the city and the mexican museum approximately 48 thousand 48 thousand square feet for a dollar and includes an option to extend for another 33 years after the initial term and i want to congratulate the the group that made this possible it has been a very long road with a lot of challenges and obstacles along the way but this group was persistent and i want to acknowledge the partners for their work to make the mexican museum a reality. this will complete the vision. it is really exciting that we will have a one of a kind institution that will showcase

the complexity and richness and i want to recognize the department of real estate and the countless community stakeholders that have helped to make this vision a reality. >> thank you supervisor kim supervisor kim supervisor campos. >> thank you very much madam president and thank you supervisor kim supervisor kim for all of the work and your office that you have done to move this item forward. i don't want to repeat what the supervisor said but many people many of whom are here in this chamber have been working on this not for years but decades and as supervisor kim supervisor kim noted this will set the city well on our way to realizing the vision of the mexican museum and this is our

7th year and so it's great to be at this point i want to thank everyone who has made this possible and it's i think a great victory not just for the mexican american, the latino community but it's a great victory for all of san francisco. thank you. >> thank you supervisor campos supervisor avalos? >> thank you madam president and i would also like to add myself as a cosponsor which was a complete oversight and yes i want to thank all of the parties involved that really made this happen i've been a big fan of the mexican museum ever since i first arrived in san francisco in 1979 fell in love with the museum and i have some of their art work in my office right now and may be it's time to swap that out for

new pieces as well and i want to thank and it's a great location as supervisor kim supervisor kim mentioned all around there are great sites to showcase the great art here in san francisco and congratulations and look forward to seeing the new site when it's done. >> thank you supervisor avalos congratulations. it's been a long time coming and really excited to see this day when we're moving forward with the museum and adding it to the amazing museums in yush yerb abuena.

>> this resolution is adopted unanimously. okay with that we're going to move forward with item 19. >> item 19 land use and transportation committee and forwarded to the board as a committee report. it's a resolution to impose interim zoning controls in rh 1, 2 and 3 zoning districts within an established perimeter. the eastern property line of parcel block 19 and douglas street and for the following building types any residential development on a vacant parcel exceeding 3000-gross square feet and any new development that will increase the square footage in excess of 3000 feet

without increasing the legal unit count are more than 100 percent and for residential development that results in greater than 55 percent total lot coverage and making the appropriate findings. >> okay. supervisor wiener. >> thank you very much madam president. colleagues these zoning controls we're considering today helping to bring some order to a troubling trend that we're seeing of transforming smaller or regular sized existing single family homes and replacing them with massive single family homes not really adding new housing but turning smaller single family homes into very large single family homes and breaking up a bulk of the lot in the process and the legislation has
