architect your images show what i believe is that vinyl coded horizon sliding window we're talking about updates who - are you townsend to workshop r upgrade those windows that be appropriate for the entire building and what are we using if you wouldn't mind speaking to the commission. >> anthony yes staff asked us to 134 east use not visible but for the front facade because of the noise issue we've replaced the window in the back they've met the ratings and vth very good so far i can ask some of the tenants but ron has replaced some of the windows at the rear. >> what i would like to ask and speaking to both the zoning administrator as well as you

that the new rear facing windows that are indeed the new ones facing the freeway are specified by a acutely engineer they'll meet all the criteria that come with freeway facing windows. >> well, certainly need to meet all the relevant building code requirements. >> the department of public health has to review our soundness report to meet the windows and assembles second question you're standing there we are at a freeway are we using the health and neighborhood tool for police cars, etc. that applies to this site. >> yes. there's a plan for the new unit we'll have to provide and mechanic ventilation system to the tenants can have air

circulation without opening the windows. >> good that's a way to we are that the neck question is addressed the horizontal no. your vertical wood siding is that a code. >> no, it will be the hardy siding you don't like or the wood. >> some places don't allow that i'm sure you're aware of they don't because it is a cheap material and the community don't allow it my question to you as why are we not doing a little bit more to differentiate the fourth floor from the rest of the building as we're moving the building into kind of a new architecture

expression i think that would have been a great idea particular on the public facing park side to differentiate it a little bit more so the building didn't look to uniformly. >> i thought it looked so horizontal i thought taxing the windows will help gives it more you know height breakdown the facade a little bit more i never thought about making that a separate you know or you know distinctly different from the rest of the body of the building. >> i would have liked to see a little bit more shadow line or whatever for me, the vertical

emphasizes some of the shortcomings i'll leave it up to the building inspection to revisit that that's all i want to say. >> commissioner antonini. >> this was built in 1962 and has a low point of earth so anything you can do to not only differentiate the new but i think anything to bring improvements to the outside of the existing building would certainly be very welcome and yeah as far as the question that was race by commissioner moore and answered by the zoning administrator this building didn't come under the affordable requirements on 4 unit 3 one a

year ago 6 short of what is required and that requirement is part of prop c that raised it from 5 to 10 units so it will is to go to the voters to involves existing buildings to meet that requirement we count the units in place which have been there since 1962 so anything po to address the awe enthusiasts it great a welcome thing. >> commissioner richards i guess this is the right place to put the octavia plan we were planning a cu it is pretty well appropriate i have a couple of questions i lived in an apartment illicit before they were doing construction on top of my unit it drove me crazy live two doors counsel it was

driving me crazy this community 7 at night the question what is your construction management plan for the two residents we heard about the quality of life what are our hours can you philosophical us in to mitigate those concerns. >> thank you, commissioner ron project sponsor. >> in the for the first unit there was concern expressed by the tenants we didn't start until the contractor was said that was okay and generally speaking the contractor we used will be finished by 5 even though we could have gone to 7 at night i'll use the same contractor the two people that spoke he's a responsible contractor that

addresses our concerns that as quickly as he can he's a great guy i look forward to working with him again. >> maybe a question for one of the tenants is there go anything else that the project sponsor can do to make your life better you can come up if you like. >> i hear your pain i do. >> we're going to have a project that looks like the right place to put a project 8:30 in the morning until 5 at night. >> again, i'm charles thank you, commissioner i appreciate that you or so you know carlos can speak better but the last contractor that was there did listen to the tenants and you know would i

hire him again, the answer is yes, but carlos working in a restaurant gets out of work at one of 1:30 and gets home i don't know anybody that goes to bed right away after coming home from work going to bed at 2:30 so when it was the first floor we're our the third floor but that was on his side of the building i apologize he had all the reversions now literally this construction is inches above where we sleeps so you know can they start at 10 everyone chuckles 10 to 7 is still 8 hours of work kind of

thing so something later on in the day will work. >> i ask the gentleman to help with the quality of life i don't want to prescribe the hours but someone is going to 8 in the morning, he sound like a responsible guy and i wanted to say to the previous gentleman that spoke we want to acknowledge him and thank him if there is anything wrong with the building anything he's hot on getting it to me and having someone that bird dogs the property that aggressively is really valuable 80 so i want to thank him for that. >> thank you. >> commissioner antonini. >> move to approve. >> second. >> commissioners on that matter. >> commissioner antonini. >> commissioner johnson commissioner moore

commissioner richards commissioner wu commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 5 to zero and zoning administrator, what say you? on the variance, close the public hearing and noting the lot the size and shape thank you i believe the commission will be taking a short recess or no? >> you guys need commissioners to let you know commissioners need a break but the next three or four 4 items are supervisor legislation we'll take a short break they have a conflict another community meeting we'll take items 14, 15 ab and then 13 in. >> good afternoon and welcome to the planning commission regular

petition i'd like to submit with over 3 hundred signatures in support of this legislation as well as letters of support from so the immediate neighbors thank you for your time. >> is there any additional public comment? >> just to add patrick owner of the winery across the street a lot of the same things trying to stay open in this market with the rising rents because of the tech industry has moved in like live entertainment and being able to support local artists would mean more jobs for the employees a new revenue streams for the rents that are doubling

the right direction i move to approve. >> second and commissioners on that motion commissioner antonini commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu and president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to zero and places you on item 15 ab pca planning code amendments to allow the seary dwelling units in district 8 and 3. >> hi kim with the dispatching before you today are two ordinances appropriated by supervisor wiener and supervisor christensen to allow the dwelling units in district 8 and respectfully i want to invite

supervisor wiener that want to talk about the ordinance and followed by supervisor christensen who will join us later. >> thank you and commissioners good afternoon and thanks for having me today and hearing those items i understand that supervisor christensen leaving committee and walked u walking up here she'll be here momentarily this legislation is existing we're gradually step by step adding accessory in-law units into their buildings and to make that one piece of the solution in addressing our housing crisis and housing shortage and so the legislation that i am authorizing will take what i previously authorized to the

commission and the commission supported was pass the board of supervisors unanimously to allow for the addition of new in-law units in the castro area and expand that to all district 8 i know that supervisor christensen is authorizing similar legislation to apply this ability to add accessory units into district 3 i want to pubically thank supervisor christensen for doing that it is my hope for several years that i would not be the only supervisor to propose having those unite in the district i represent and i've been waiting and waiting and waiting and finally supervisor christensen came along that was a breath of fresh air in another district that the supervise will allow new reynolds unit in different parts

of the city i'm supportive of what sxhooishs is doing and goes had an in glove with what i've been trying to do in district 8 i hope those move forward together so the legislation as i think you will recall expands the previous castro legislation and also the seismic retrofit. >> next speaker. >> legislation to add new rental units when the castro legislation was up we had broad support from the neighborhoods successors and liveable city and spur and strong support in addition, we have support for this legislation from the board of directors and the parkers association and the diamond head community association we we know

that commissioners our housing crisis has taken a lot of approach we've tried to get cost of living under go control and we've not added enough housing one of the complaints is that new housing is too expensive we know that in-law units are the most affordable types of non-subsidized housing they tend to be smaller and on the ground level and simply not as fancy as unit online exactly the kind of housing unit it is non-taxable in neighborhood but within the envelope of the building and assessable for people about mobility challenges they're on the ground floor this legislation as with the previous legislation allows for the

addition of one, two additional units for larger than that and, of course the building is subject to rent control so commissioners, i ask for your support and ask for your support for the district 3 legislation because as a i mentioned the two travel together and compliment each other i see any colleague is here perfect timing for supervisor christensen i ask for your support. >> thank you. >> see if i can catch my breath good afternoon, commissioners? an important matter for our district and city i said to come and have a few words i think that the adu legislation allows our district to do it's part we're looking for ways to add housing all over the city and

our neighborhoods that are some of the city's more original and densely settlement is a difficult place to add housing the typography counsels against the reaction of the heights limits to the ability to add housing it challenging we also want to keep our neighbors and keep seniors, our families we not to keep the people that work in the libraries and restaurants in our neighborhood that is increasing challenging to do the adu units are many of them by their size naturally more affordable in the building that we've been looking at many of them are likely to occur on ground floors they're more assessable for seniors and those with limited mobility 95 percent of district 3 consists of buildings built before 1979 the adu unit will

most likely be rerlgd that is important, important we can add this housing without negatively impacting neighborhood character there is very few single-family dwellings in district 3 in other sdprikts in-law units basically in district 3 we've been primarily adding apartment to buildings of 20 or thirty or 40 units the boiler room the infrastructure space in the garage i think i remember the status but as many as 80 percent of the people in the district live in buildings of 10 unit or more those are the buildings to which this is going to be added i'm grateful to supervisor

wiener and those who cockamamy to advance this notion it is go for district 3 i hope we look at it implementing it citywide it is a time that has come ero over and over we know of a number of cases landlord that adding bedrooms to existing units making 4 and 5 bedrooms we need more apartment we looking at density limits throughout the district that is a good start and small step we can make towards making our neighborhoods affordable so we very much appreciate your support thank you. >> thanks supervisors so i'm going to continue with my presentation currently san francisco currently san

francisco allows adu's within one thousand 7 hundred square feet plus in the castro and undergoing the mandatory - as supervisor wiener mentioned adu's are additional units to residential believes that are and they're limited to be built within the administrative waiver for some of the planning code requirements because of rear yard and open space and parking and rent controlled this - staff supports the audience as a strategy and supports the two proposals for expanding where adu's are allowed adu's within the existing residential is a pragmatic strategy to create for housing this housing strategy will allow more use of land

within our existing residential buildings those are buildings that are lost or already development not like or likely to be redeveloped in the future allowing adu's will compliment the trends that are primarily on lots that are under developed or vacant and form of that increases the availability of rebels not high concentration of listing and final orly as the character it is not changing the character staff finds that adu's will provide housing affordable to middle-income of small size san francisco is the most
