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

expensive rental market in the nation and with not affordable to people we have some programs however, low income middle-income households are facing the challenge to stay in the city bans a compatible analysis of units on the market one bedroom will relent between 26 and 29 hundred the use is lower than the renter standard units on the market the medium is 35 hundred for a one bedroom and anticipated to be lower because of the physical characteristics of adu's and some of the works for them being located at a street level or behind a garage having a side

street intrenz entrances and if limited windows and this anticipated rent is affordable to a two percent households with a inclined income of a hundred and thirty percent to 35 percent of ami two proposed ordinances aligned together with the existing rent controlled except for the adu's allowed per lot in one district the building is allowed in building for less than 5 unit no limit on the number one number of adu's louts in the lot in district 8 only two are loud in buildings with more than 10 units the larger sized buildings aligned with the existing

seismic retrofitted buildings and the density control the city's most recent planning is only the open space type of units in terms of bedroom numbers this strategy is different from the density controls in our district per lot and the density controls limited based on the size of the lot recycle in that some of the cu district adu's are within the envelope and can't use space from an existing units this provides limited space in how many adu's can be added staff adams the proposal to and then the district 3 for adu's in buildings undergoing seismic retrofitting this allows building with less than 5 units

and no limits with 5 units or more staff recommends that the board expand eligible geography to district 8 to include the buffer around supervisor wiener including the adu's will serve the broader public interest and be consistent with the application of those provisions lastly i'd like to talk about the adu's within the city 37 thousand residential households can add one unit this isdid not; however, only 3 alleges have been approved to a lack of interest in adding the units to the residential buildings those

could including include not having ground floor on the parking space and parking unit i fear the lack of experience with the construction department as recently published an adu handbook and in cooperation with city agencies this includes 6 prototypes to add units to an existing building that governs the permit this handbook is available on the website and staff will present this before the commission in september that concludes my presentation. we've received some letters of supportive and some letters opposing districts 3 proposal and i'll hand in joe as isle i'm here for questions. >> opening it up for public comment madeline paul be and edward and

the city's vulnerable populations that are negatively impacted by the affordable problem and adu's can help to ease the stress in addition one the most densely populated areas in the city and 11th hour objections to the adu's that we have learned about are really kind of spurus given the car over is low in the region and the needs for parking is not urgent as the need for housing see but also sorry i'm losing my yep and okay. back track the adu's have been successfully implemented in other cities there's would be minimum negative impact and also, we

really care about the city thriving and not having to play catch up like nashville who are moving quickly to grow their cities okay. i'm sure i'm leaving something out you get the gist i hope the planning department seize this as very positive step forward. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm paul webb a resident of district 3 and i'm here today on behalf of telegraph hill dwellers we have only one issue about the program that is although the legislation was filed in early june we found out about it last monday and the only action we've taken to date

so send a letter copies i'm san bruno to the commissioners asking the matter be taken off calendar there be public outreach and that at a point if the supervisors want to come back with presentations with the benefit of public outreach the only one excluded that was no outreach in district 3 i can't speak for district 8 so as i say i'm not here to comment on the concept it is okay. but here to request it go off calendar be returned to the people with the outreach from the districts thanks very much thank you. >> good afternoon,

continuance of district 3 we know this concept works and adu's are good for san francisco different variety of housing for san francisco thank you. >> thank you. >> edward mason i basically oppose this housing is a city responsibility not not district please resolve the airbnb issue for housing that turns our neighborhoods into hotels the cumulative effect is not considered growth should fund infrastructure growth and the market rate establishes the reversal for the rentals and the parking impact plan development areas p are in process the treasure island and

ooermdz we're trying to shoot more additional unit please resolve the airbnb there is no guarantee this unit will not become an airbnb the cumulative effect is not considered in one square block of 24th street and church street light 17 units that have been shoed into the neighborhood that is done with variance and the 0 response they can take the 48 of the j line the point is that growth should fund infrastructure growth their transportation sustainability fee program is already too years behind schedule there won't be new funding for muni muni it planning to add additional fees and what do they do we need another $500 million bond the

growth should fund the growth necessary for this now the transportation sustainability fee only applies to greater than 20 units u units that augment to apply to everybody paying the freight for the infrastructure requirements now the market rate is going to establish what the rent control floor is going intoxicate on the initial rent charged noah valley that is 15 percent of the bus activity in the city so will the south bay tech workers occupy the new units and when will the city reverse being a bedroom community for silicon valley i have no father in this community for the desire for the projections that are out there because in noah valley you know

from the adu law was in place and we were able to get a legal unit in the ground floor space before we rent it out the rent scammer wouldn't have come to sue us and we can still provide affordable and nice unit for many renters to come so i support the adu law thank you. >> can you speak into the microphone thank you. >> thank you i support adu law thank you.

>> my name is alex i support the adu law this is the most important revision and modification of the proposal passes and not in 1978 in 1978 san francisco passed something quote and regulate each district for rh1 and rh2 and rh3 and 3 zoneat a time and increased the jobs so the will not apply in the modern day the adu is the best way to help this and help the people to find a place they can afford to live in the low income and middle-income

people i know that san francisco right now you can't rent an apartment for less than $3,000 for 3 plus bedrooms the landlord is resistant to refuse to rent because the tenants power is so much right now i urge you to pass the ab law and make the law and to build more houses for the protecting and middle-income people thank you. >> hi, i'm laura with grow sf a pro housing organization we'll to urge you strongly to pass the ab legislation throughout the city it is vital the only way to increase the affordable housing in the city rent controlled users dispersed throughout the

public participation i think all the district need to be involved i'm getting a funny feeling is not just district 3 and 8 but citywide more input it needed the previous speaker said people don't drive or own cars that's true but they can get the car share i'm wondering if a study is done the potential of cars i didn't say i didn't see a process. >> hello commissioners thanks for having us i'm with the association of realtor we represent realtor we are here to speak that on support of this

legislation we've been tracking this legislation for many months it was drought to our attention in district 3 and 8 who heard about this version they've not seen the outreach but we deeply support this legislation and building that should be recommended by the planning commission we talked about the housing balance and the number of rental units on the market the only opportunity to have on our agenda the number of rent controlled unit in the city when we look at cost effectiveness the cost to add a adu unit is fractional compared to housing units in the city this is complicated to address the deep housing crisis this represents a

solution that provides incentives for rent controlled units we hope you'll support this today. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm a building manager of an older 20 unit apartment building in district 3 in my apartment building 4 large storage room that has been vacant for decades i'll be able to convert into two dwelling units and in addition because in my neighborhood there are less cars i have two garages that have been vacant for a year which again, i convert into a dwelling unit in a 20 unit building i can add 3 units without expanding my building envelope i urge you to pass this pending ordinance thank you.

is the city going to reaccess properties and where are they going to reassess i'm an economic i live in the real world there's enormous value other than the property owners the career our is not notified of tax i ask you to get the city attorney to tell you where in the legislation exactly the assessor is notified when you add additional unit after the purchase of property the value goes up the value won't be recorded on city records certain legalization are exempt from the increased operational it needs to be explicitly in here the city explicit do a good job right now secondarilyly the
