4:12 am
use committee wasn't the proposal itself which had soled and unified support from the neighborhood and community at large, but the sole source waver. the proposal is a good one rsh it will activate the broad way corridor which i know is important to supervisor christensen and bring intoryism and support small sknz the development partner did a incredible job of outreach to make sure what they were building was along the lines of the vision of what the larger neighborhood would like to see. the questions that i brought up land use committee however is the process by which we got to a sole source waver and want a better understanding through discussion with the port on how the set of criteria used, when you decide to give a development a sole source waver, rfq or rff and have a understanding of the history 06 all previous proposals and developments on the port. the
4:13 am
port work would our office and got a good list and have better understanding how the process works. i do think sole source waver deserves additional scrutny [inaudible] should get a site on the port property, but we are talking about a significant development come which includes a 200 room hotel. we work would the port on a series of amendments which i would thrike introduce the record today to clarify bringing consistency into the process including requiring texas z to fill out a rfq as would happen if it was a rfq process and require the port which they agreed to to hire a 3rd party reala state economic development during negotiation to insure the port receives fair market value of the lease

4:16 am
struggling to keep our artistic community together and alive and thriving in san francisco with the cost of housing and some of the many pressures that the artistic community is under and so whether we have a opportunity to lock in a home for a organization like [inaudible] that isn't something that take lightly, it is something that you really embrace and we fleed to embrace this and i think this is so important for the community and important for arts and the city and i'm proud to continue to support this today. >> thank you supervisor wiener. supervisor mar >> thank you, i wanted to first thank [inaudible] and ken wood for engaging the community, building up so much support from community lead rbs and telegraph hill dwellers to many folks that watch carefully the community interest in the

4:22 am
use criteria and make the findings >> can key take this item same house-supervisor tang >> i just wanted to explain what the zoning control is here in place for. basically a couple years ago we worked on legislation to change or create 4 neighborhood commercial districts in district 4, that is urfbing [inaudible] part of that creasian said that we would need to have a active use and there were no active use it requires conditional use process. recently the board of supervisors passed code clean up and in it changed definitions that also changed the zoning that we put in place specifically in regards to district 4. in particular, regarding medical cannabis
4:23 am
dispenseeracy. they moved from non active groundful use to groundful use so this legislation is to correct that mistake that had come about given the code clean up legislation the board passed and this only applies to district 4. i thank land use for their support and ask my colleagues to support this as well >> supervisor avalos >> i understand where the zoning controls come from and typically i would like to differ to the supervisor for the district but across san francisco how mcd's are sited are not done in a way that wurg frz the entire sitee. zee piece meal approach to it especially how the green zeen is created. the green zone we
4:24 am
have legislation in 2005. the mkd is concentrated on the east side in san francisco and fewer on the west side. i am trying to assert the mcd should be available to nob [inaudible]. i haven't proposed out right ban in district 11 which many of my residence called for mpt i did establish conditional use controls for new mcd's only when they are proposed within 500 feet of a existing mcd. i wasn't looking to create a out right strong hurdle against that conditional use does allow, does provide. so, what i was looking at doing and had the planning department study is how to re-create our laws or governing how mcd can be sited
4:25 am
across san francisco so we don't see the concentration and [inaudible] in certain neighborhoods. curbtsly there are not mcd's in the sunset district. having conditional use that is the first hurdle for any mcd to start. mcd's can only get sited in other neighborhood like on the east side which is a problem we have. i don't think that this-i understand how neighborhoodss may want to put conditional use controls for medical cannabis, but they also have impacts on the rest of san francisco as well. people who are seeking access to medical cannabis in the sunset may come to district 11 or [inaudible] or could be going to the richmond where there are mcd or other parts of san
4:26 am
francisco. i don't think we have been able to address the overall need for fr access and control across san francisco for mcd's in the city, so i'll vote against this legislation. i would thrike it work with the supervisor in the future how we can create a policy that works for all of san francisco and not have a piece meal approach neighborhoods by neighborhood. i realize again that i have contributed to neighborhood approach but my first take on mcd's is we don't have a ban in district 11 or conditional use on the first application, it is only when a application comes within 500 feet of a existing mcd so we kil create that access-i understand where these legislations come from, because there are very active parts of the community that isn't comfortable. as a policy for the city we stood up to allow for access to happen and want
4:27 am
to make sure we continue to do that and don't set a wrong president for san francisco going forward so i'll vote gaens the legislation, though i understand where this legislation comeess from >> supervisor tang >> thank you for your comments, i think the poibts you raise address a larger issue that this legislation isn't trying to get at. thrfs legislation passed that had certain controls in place so this is just to correct that. the unintended consequences of code clean up legislation. this doesn't necessarily proclude a mcd from coming into had neighborhood, i just try to restore to it previously >> seeing no names on the roster can you call the roll >> supervisor christensen, aye. cohen, aye. farrell, aye.
4:28 am
kim, aye. mar, no. tang, aye. wiener, aye. yee, aye. avalos. no. breed, aye. compose, aye. there are 9 aye's and 2 no's being supervisor mar and avalos. >> the resolution is adopted. before we go to roll call i would like to acknowledge a former supervisor christina [inaudible] is a joining aus in the audience today. i wanted to welcome her today. thank you for being here. with that we are going move on to roll call and we are going to start off on roll call with supervisor campose >> thank you very much madam president. colleagues today is sinko demayo. this is a day
4:29 am
that we and the country of latin american descent we remember what happened in mexico when mexico fought back gaens the french who at the time tried to apply economic and military prectoor the country which at the time was a very young country that had just wanted freedom from spain. under resourceed and vastly out numbered, the heart and sole of the mexican people reveiled in the battle of puebla and this was a turning point for the mexican people fighting oppression. it is a day of a symbol of provide not only for mexican americans but all latinos in the country. and sthait as someone who is latino but not mexican descent. it is fitting on this very important day i am here to
4:30 am
introduce a introom urgency ordinance to establish a mooreatorium on all marketeracy housing in the mission for the next 45 days. and there is a lot of magz passion here and what i want to say is that this is a very personal issue because for soany many residence of the community, this is a community that is under siege. we have lost more than 1600 low to moderate income house holds from
