been there from the beginning [inaudible] mr. mayor as a product of california community college system, i can't think of a better time to join city college board than right now. something all might not know is i started my college education in san diego at groges mont college rchlt you may say i wouldn't be here today without groges monts college. english isn't my first lajolog. my mom raised me by by herself in germany and i moved by myself for 1 year of high school. my sat scores were terrible, i won't tell you what they were and i f i got into ra4 year college i know i couldn't knet the agree unless i want into

debl. my parent didvent the opportunity to go to college and i was worried i wouldn't as well. thankfully i had a incredible guideants counselor in high school who told me about community colleges. i remember the day 12 years ago this month when i was in the library at grossmont college and logged on foouc burgly and fountd outd i would gelt in. my partner trerfb moved from vietnam and thanks to [inaudible] community comage in free mont was able to transfer to uc berkeley as well and that is where we met. as you can see we are a better family. as you can see community college runs deep in our family and we wouldn't have the life now without a community college education. but our story isn't

unique. there are over 80 thousand students every day at city college that dependent on the education and access to public education to improve their life and a better future. i take this appointment very seriously and personal. these student desirfb to have the same fime of fluent a better life that i did not so many years ago. i know what it is like to navigate the complex and often times over weming brurocracy of community college system. insureing access to high quality serveess and counseling is one of my priorities on the bord. for the past 80 years city college played a important role for many famentlies that tried to have a better life. like the mayor said, nothing grows or economy better than public education. community colleges are the lanch path for greater opportunities and play critical roles for groups and students

like myself that had been excluded from college education. as a openingly gay man of color i'm especiallyly sense toative to the path way communeky college provides for lez goodian and gay community who can still face gair ba yirier tooz get fl to college. relationships and partnership ozf communitys is a passion. for my first job at the mayors office [inaudible] to my job with devon [inaudible] at the board of supervisors or phil [inaudible] recreation and park department and currently with president burr ocobama and his administration making government more open and accessible for all has always been the true driving force in my life. city college needs all our help to be successful. my background in public manlagement and guv nrns as well as [inaudible] non profits

and neighborhood will be a great tool for myself that i hope to bring to city college to bring it forward. the current accredidation challenge is a wake up call for show how important city college is to the sates higher education and work force opportunities. i'm so thrilled that even burr ocobama the president made community college a sener piece of his agenda. think of all the opportunities this will provide for making the first 2 years of community college free for everyone. [applause]. i hope all have there opportunity to listen to vise president biden make remarks about this this last weekend. brf i conclude i want to acknowledge nattily burke for nob naurb er

to working with allf oia to make city college a better place. >> >> a moment of silence for the giants, please. [ laughter ] >> remember it's not how you start, it's how you finish. >> oh yeah. >> we are believers. >> all right. good evening, it is monday april 13th, it is the small business commission meeting and it's 5:34. mr. president, shall i call roll call? >> yes, please. >> all right. commissioner

adams, here, commissioner dooley, here, commissioner dwight, here, commissioner ortiz cartagena, here, commissioner sarkissian, here, commissioner white, here, commissioner riley? here. >> mr. president, the members are here, you have a quorum. >> all right. ready to roll. first order of business is general public comment. this is general public comment for anything that is not on today's agenda. and it's the purpose to suggest new agenda items for us to consider in the future. does anyone have public comment for anything not on today's agenda? seeing none, we'll move on. public comment is closed. >> item no. 3. mr. president, shall we

call item 923 -- no. 3 and 4 together. >> yes. >> item no. 3 possible action to make recommendations to the board of supervisors on file no. 141302 health code regulating massage practitioners, establish thement and associated fees and file no. 141303. there is already consideration for this. >> before the updates may i just remind you we will have public comment after this. the purpose of public comment is to state for the record things that you want to enter into the record. i would encourage you while you are

listening to this to boil your thoughts down to very concise specific thoughts because it's very easy to get up here and get agitated and go off script. it happens all the time. we do it up here too. you will be better served because you are stating things for the record. they will be recorded and written. if you keep it short and sweet to the point everything goes into the record properly. okay? be formulating your thoughts. we'll gong you in 3 minutes. we have to as a matter of process. so let's roll. >> public, supervisor tang. >> thank you very much. good evening, commissioners, we have some handouts for you this time. i think that probably where i'm going to start off with talking about is mostly to do with the planning code changes. we

have an update for you in terms of what we are thinking of in terms of moving forward. so we had a lot of questions come up so i will, let's see if we can do that. >> sf govtv. >> we have to address some of the common scenarios that we've been asked about and will most likely include. we are going to be holding off for about a couple weeks because we do want to get this right. first of all in terms of the sole practitioner establishment. per the health code the definition is that you can either have 1 person

practicing themselves or up to shared space with three other practitioners. this is per the health code definition. what we are proposing as i stated from the beginning of this process is i want to be able to exempt the practitioner spot whether you are alone or up to four. however each practitioner will be required to have a dph sole practitioner massage requirement. i think that's something that folks are in agreement with. >> all right. >> now, in a situation for the next slide massage establishment where your fixed place of business with more than one individuals who administers massage for compensation you have more than one employee. again this is moving away from the full practitioner situation but we have multiple, this will require conditional use approval on our

planning code legislation and will require a general massage establishment permit. >> this is the owner if you will, the head hon cho may or may not be certified. >> right. >> this business form requires a conditional use? >> right. this will be for moving forward and after this legislation passes to all new ones. next slide has to do with a massage as an accessory use. we felt it was important to clarify this because we worked on this legislation as well as with my predecessor. the accessory use component is something that preceded me and not contained in my proposal. per the planning code the massage is an accessory which is not a dwelling unit that contains 100 or more rooms

a larger room session of the planning code. for example if you are a child the care, educational facility or religious facility or hospital center. in this situation if a business wants to employ a massage center. they don't own their own business , they just simply employ an individual to practice massage in their business. this would require a conditional use approval. also the establishment where a massage is not a principal use, they would need to establish a permit. >> what determines the principal use. what if you had a massage practice and you brought in a chiropractor into your practice. would that then could you

then characterize the massage as the accessory use. how do you determine what is the principal use? >> you are talking about the order? what if the massage comes first? >> yes. let's round out our business with one of these approved health care things like chiropractor or acupuncture or several of them. and then you sort of you said look, now i have got business that has this in addition to massage. would that obviate the need for conditional use permit? >> i know you said the word chiropractor and there is the condition of the health care provider. >> because we talked last time about the possibility of acknowledging a class of certified professionals as health care professionals and

now this accessory use to principal use. what if you brought in a colleague that was a practitioner when it was a primary use that allows for exemption. >> i can't answer it straight off the bat because it also depends on the zoning. for example if you brought in a massage and wanted to bring in a different type of business later afterwards. if you need a conditional use to bring on a chiropractor, this is an example, then you would have to go through a conditional use permit and aside from our legislation it's required because of the underlying zoning. it depends. >> if you were in an area because that zoning is less restrictive. if you are in an area where that was not a restriction, would you then be able to operate the massage portion of

the business without a conditional use because as part of a business you have approved this non-conditional requirement? >> we don't have our planning staff here so i don't want to speak for them but from my understanding the reason why the massage as an accessory use legislation was passed anyway, those scenarios regardless of the order people were pairing up different types of businesses and able to get a counter permit which led to a lot of problems. my understanding the legislation came about is to make sure that you cannot disguise yourself in those kinds of situations. >> okay. i think it would be interesting for all of us to know what the accessory use qualifications. what is the formula for determining if something is an accessory or

not. >> in terms of the order for example. >> i have a quick question, what about a building like 450 sutter or one on van ness that my chiropractor is in which is strictly a medical building and i'm a sole practitioner or there is a group of us that want to goen, would that be exempt from a cu? >> i wish planning staff were here but in a large building as that there are individual offices as well. in those individual offices you can have other offices. if you are a sole practitioner by yourself no conditional use permit required you can show up in those offices within 450 sutter. the best way to visualize it is that there are separate offices within them and what is entailed in each of those

offices. >> that follows under those conditions. >> correct. a business establishment where a massage is not a principal use could also share space with someone who is a sole practitioner and they own their own business or they can share space with an actual massage establishment. you can have an entire business in there as well. in that case the massage establishment they would be responsible for the permit if they share the space. >> they would not require a conditional use permit? >> they still would because it's still an accessory use. >> okay. >> in ferms terms of the next slide, massage service. for out call massage service they provide services at a

designation by the client. this will continue to be under our legislation. it also requires a dph out call massage service. again, that's already required unless you have an exemption. next one has to do with a home base massage. someone who provides massage in their home. this will be exempt for conditional use process and does not require a dph permit however whoever is practicing must present a massage practitioner permit. we hope those slides clear up some of the common scenarios. the second thing that was really important to the community that i wanted to provide to you is the amnesty program. what are we doing about all the establishments or practitioners who have been in existence already

and for the most part have an exemption. this is different from what the planning staff presented to you last time. sf govtv if we can have the screen here. all right. so we want to be able to allow existing massage establishments that are operating without proper land use approval to legalize as a massage establishment and this would also be dependent on zoning controls where establishment is located at the time of the application. so we would allow them to continue in operation to continue the land use approval and participation in the amnesty program is dependent upon the massage establishment having the following. these are the same criteria. a valid business license prior to january 2015 and valid certification practitioner permit prior to that same date. they have

been functioning in the state before that same date. there are no open violations. enforcement issues, 53 dph, department of planning at the time of permit approval and they must have submitted an application for the dph permitting process for their site within 90 days of the effective ordinance. of course we would outreach to as many establishments as possible. this is important. we felt this was the most easy clear way to be able to grandfather in all of those existing establishments without making it too confusing because originally there was a proposal that would change to medical use and this would capture the bulk of the businesses in existence right now. the issue that will arise though, however is that there are some neighborhood corridors that

they flat out prohibit massage uses in those commercial corridors. you know that ms. drikzey sent out that information to you already. we wanted to visually show you that in many neighborhoods medical use maybe allowed but massage is not allowed. when establishments received the exemption they became under the definition of medical use. but in some of those neighborhoods, again massage was flat out prohibited. so whoever was the district supervise at that time made a very conscience decision. there was
