item will be removed from the consent agenda and will be considered separately. i've received no indication that any matters should be served. >> motion to approve. >> all in favor, say i. opposed? next item and item 11 the approval of a supplemental capital budget for 2016 which includes addressing $15 million from impact fees into the original projects from the general fund paej allegation in the capital budget up to $26 million based population growth and appropriately those what the bay area for light rail and the bonds for the streetscape project and having the adjustment permitting $8 million from the general fund on behalf of the budget to save the contract and authorizing the county correction to the

original supplemental appropriation for the series 2013 and series 2014 revenue bonds. >> up again (laughter). >> as you wish. >> mr. chair and members of the board this is an action we're asking you to take it is really a recommendation to the board of supervisors which is the body here in san francisco which has the authority to appropriate funds because off the state of the economy that is generated greater than budget for transit impact budget foes and budgeted general funds and because prop b we're seeking our approval for the supplemental appropriation it's a long agenda title that went through this specific items the reason we're doing this now

as opposed to waiting for the next two years there's projects that will be delayed so i'll be happy to walk through this. >> it seems like a reasonable trade off questions or comments. >> no comments or questions i'm happy to make a motion and note i appreciate the focus on this i can there are people that don't want to see the ma song streetscape delayed. >> any questions. >> i'm told we have a speaker. >> peter spraus. >> u straus. >> peter straus i'm sure you're aware of i've been working with the infrastructure transit riders and one of the people people that put effort into securing the package of prop b last november given that it is

gratifying to see how this item before the board appropriate those few minutes and proiptd ♪ an appropriate way with that said, i want to remind the board to point out that prop b very explicitly maybe funds for improvements of reliability, frequency of service and state of good repairs made the fund for capital or operating extensions and in the future we still face the structural deficit on the operating side that will could you be to us given that the funds could be important we're fortunate this year the general fund is in good shape 13 percent

improvements including those implemented that month it is appropriate for the prop b fund to be allocated for capital needs at this time but in the future this is something which you should review and have to review carefully as each of budget comes before you those get into the weeds need to be taken with the best action possible those in not controversial but i urge you to pass this before the board >> any other comments or questions we have a there is a motion and a second i actually have one question on the recommendation which is on page 15 the one about the approval add $15 million and employment those funds with individual projects but remember the $32 million appropriations with up to $26 million with the board

approval does that mean what do you mean. >> when this board approved the budget with the goal budget back in april of last year, it was with the anticipation that the city will advance to the battle in november a vehicle lessons increase that brings roughly $32 million to the agency so the budget you approved included the $32 million by the time the budget got to the board of supervisors that budget failed to advance so the board of supervisors didn't appropriate those $32 million with the package of prop b we're exterminating it will bring in $26 million so from the time you last approved the budget we've removed 32 but addressing back 26 and the net appropriation from the board of supervisors is

26 because they didn't appropriate the $32 million. >> measure prop a a number of years ago we lost it all in work orders. >> no, i believe that with all due respect it is not a goodanalog we have $26 million to enable us to buy 18 new transit vehicles and that wouldn't have been there if prop b without the possibility of parole would be there to backfill the agency fee we hope in 2015 and in 2018 that will be coming to the voters to continue to fund the holes in our structural deficit but it

was you know what it was clear that the vehicle license fee was not going to go forward and the $32 million not coming to us is $26 million we anticipate more like $22 million it completely filling the gap. >> at this time i appreciate that the fair analog but the $26 million was begun they used it for something else. >> this was almost the opposite the 32 was not going to happen but really the board of supervisors and the voters came back and back filled it with $26 million. >> thoek all in favor, say i. >> i's i's have it thank you very much. >> mr. chair with the cancelation of the closed session that community colleges our meeting today. >> thank you very .

>> good afternoon. welcome 340b8gd this is the regular meeting of land use commission i'm supervisor cohen the chair of committee and to my right is supervisor scott wiener and to my left will be jane kim our clerk is andrea ashbury i'd like to recognize jessie larson and jonathan who will be toifgz today's meeting madam clerk, any announcements? >> yes.

completed speaker cards and documents to be included should be submitted to the clerk. items acted upon today will appear on the april 14, 2015, board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated excellent. thank you so colleagues, i building he have staff from the department of building inspection here to present on item number one. >> would you like me to call u call item one. >> i'm sorry yes. >> number one amending the building code for the determination of permit fees. >> seeing the staff is not here item 2. >> anticipated the planning code for the off-street parking and loading requirement and a presentation for item number 2 mr. johnson thank you. >> there you go

i can hear myself good afternoon the item before you is a small set of planning code changes that supervisor breed is calling the parking flexibility the city h had strike parking spaces they were required to have new parking garages below and above ground as well as parking pads that are green spaces or yards and the first floor for vehicle parking in the past decade with the push for more gave them ground floors the city has greater flexibility the space methods like tandem lifts and minimum parking requirements in the transit dense neighborhoods are lax that is important to point out they don't limit the parking as they

choose but give more options so businesses and homeownerships and others can park on their property this is the conversion of parking to active street units and conversion of the freed spaces for other uses and helps to restore first responders first, the g f a limits the space on land but out of rh3 parking doesn't count in terms of limits on the commercial are housing you can have but not on parking if you have exist parking spaces you don't need g f a may stop you from converting other city policies courage ground floor

activity but g f a force people to use the parking there's a limit amount of spaces do we want to prioritize parking over how are you above ground access parking counts but underground park will remain intact and 245i8 use the first floor for retail and housing existing buildings convert unused marshes if they choose about giving people the opportunity to kwhuz and the parking will allow the off-street parking to be located within 6 hundred feet third, the legislation gives the zoning administrator the authority to microwavely remove an inner acceptable requirement in recent years the city

eliminates parking rishth or added exemption in rfp so we shouldn't be holdings property and fourth it exempts buildings from the parking requirement if it's ones a designated e designated traffic lane it gives people the option not to convert it so houses in district 5 can turn their garage into housing variance it reduces the bicyclist time and lastly it allows minimum parking requirements if doing so limits the rear yard and yard requirement so many building owners pay to have off-street

parking but if people wants to remove the spot they can restore character to the neighborhoods the legislation passes the planning commission unanimous on february 26th the newest is the substitute that incorporates 3 small changes by the planning commission as well as one other issue that came up i'll address that we've incorporated a grandfathering progression for existing in the van ness district d for projects in the pipeline i'm happy to go into it in detail the legislation has options we can activate the improvement of bicycle safety and restore the yards hopefully that was quick enough i'll be happy to answer any questions supervisors thank you for your time. >> thank you very much any questions if the colleagues seeing none, is there any public
