calendar. are considered to be routine by the planning commission and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote of the commission. there will be no separate discussion of this item unless a member of commission, public or staff so requests in which event the matter shall be removed from the consent calendar and considered as a separate item at this or a separate hearing. you have one item under consent, no. 3, case no. 2015-008251cua, 2120 greenwich street, a conditional use authorization. >> any public comment on the one item on the consent calendar? seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner antonini. >> move to approve. >> second. >> on that motion to approve item 3 under consent, commission anioni. >> aye. >> commission johnson. >> aye. >> commission richards? >> ? >> >> commissioner wu.

>> commission president fong. >> aye approved 5-0. item c commission matters draft minutes for september 3rd and october 1st. >> any public comment? seeing none, commission richards. >> i move to approve september 3-d and have a minor correction on october 1. >> so noted. >> second. >> i seconded. >> yes. >> thank you, commissioners. on that motion than to dopt the minutes for september 3rd, 2015 and october 1st, 2015, as corrected by commission richards, commission antonini. >> aye. >> commission johnson. >> aye. >> commission wu. >> aye. >> commission president fong. >> aye. >> that passes 5-0. commission antonini? >> thank you. i thought that presentation by the member of the rent board was extremely informative last week.

i have some comments, but first i have a question. they mentioned that their owners are allowed to raise residential rates an amounts not to exceed 60% of the cip of the san francisco bay area per year. is that cumulative or is it use it or lose it? >> you could bank it. >> you can you bank it. okay. that important that it be done. we have stayed that with kind formula and kept of the rates exactly not that formula, but more closer to the cpi. the other thing that was really interesting when you look at the chart of the evictions and we're hearing a lot about it now, i don't remember quite as much comment during the period

1999-2000, but there were a lot more in that period, in the range of 2700 to 2800, still a lot this year. if you look at the chart for the long period of time, almost every year there are 1400 on average or more than that, probably. so what also was very interesting to me is find out that 75% of the evictions were for fault such as non-payment of rent. which is probably something is going to happen no matter what conditions we have, because if you don't pay the rent, you are going to get evicted. there might be a tendency for owners to try to evict people a little quicker if there are a lot more renters around to take the spot. it's good to put things in perspective and see the historical perspective to talk into the context of 20 years

to realize what is the situation is. i thought it was extremely good and very navative. nothing further, commissions we can move on to department matters, item 6, directors announcements. >> thank you, jonas. i just wanted to let you know that i spent this last weekend in cambridge, a meeting i attend every year with my counterparts in the 30 largest cities in the country. there were several -- well, several points of discussion, but i will say that the most common theme that all cites are addressing are issues of equity and affordable housing in ways that were surprising to me and in places that were supposing to me. even in my hometown detroit, which has experienced severe economic distress and just came out of bankruptcy and concerns as areas are improved, the

equity issues that residents are facing and the type of rent reindevelopment reinvestment is happening and it's interesting to hear about that happening across the economic spectrum and it was a theme that came up repeatedly in the three days' of meetings that we had. that concludes my comments. thank you. item 7 review of past events at board of supervisors and board of appeals and historic preservation commission. >> the zoning administrator told me that the board of appeals met yesterday, but there were no items that pertained to the commission. >> there is no board report -- excuse me, the historic preservation commission did not meet yesterday which will place under general public comment not to exceed a period of 15 minutes. at this time the members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the subject-matter jurisdiction of the commission except agenda items with respect to agenda

items your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting. each member of the public may address the commission for up to 3 minutes. >> any general speaker cards? >> hell yes commissioners tony kelly vice president of the potrero boosters. we looked at the advance calendar and when are we going start having a conversation and actual commission hearing about design in the eastern neighborhoods for these large projects? there were two large projects. one was continued today. one was continued a couple of weeks ago coming up on november 12th. there is no room it look like for discussion of design issues before that happens. so the problem that was raised months ago, and most recently here over the past few weeks is still there. which is we know we desperately need help on design standards and design review for these

large projects. and yet the projects are coming to you before we have a chance to do anything about it. what i just gave to you are the design reviews of the latest ones for both projects. it's a total of ten sentences for both projects combined. these are large projects. they take a couple of acres a piece, folks. 550 housing units and yet there is hardly any discussion of the architecture. we met with individual commissioners and heard many negative comments about their design and haven't heard a single positive comment about their designs. so when commissioners are we actually going to do this? are we going to try to redesign these buildings on the fly at the commission on the 12th? i think you know, because you had to go through that before. i think you know and we know that is really not the way to go. we urge you to have some sort of conversation at least about design and preferably some design standards, guidelines, principles, something that we

need to follow to improve these projects? because we're not going to get improved architecture or improved designs for all of these blocky, monotonous, mind-numbing buildings in this format does not do it. we are negotiating and working with the two developers on their projects, but we're not able to put design on the table. that is your job. that is on your desk. that is exactly what you guys can do as commissioners. and we're desperate for your help on that. we're preparing -- ron mcgill, i think you have heard of him and i from the boosters are preparing a presentation we want to give you as part of the hearing about design issues, but we don't have a time to do that the we can't do it during public comment. we need to have conversation before get to the large projects. otherwise it's going to be a real scrum when the projects coming up along with everything else and potential approval of the project and that doesn't

lead to better buildings. that is how we have gotten into the architectural mess we have in potrero and hope we can have discussion. thank you. >> any additional public comment? general public comment is closed. commissioners that places under your regular calendar item 8, a market street hub informational presentation. >> commissioners i'd like to welcome mia small to the commission. while mia has been with the staff for a couple of years this is her first presentation to the planning commission. mia has been with us two years as a staff architect. for the previous ten years she ran an architectural practice based in rhode island focused on urban design and earned her professional working for architects in san francisco and

new york and graduate of >> the department has forwarded a memo to you and we're following up with additional details. this project arrives at intersection of two of the department's priorities. increasing affordable housing, and supporting the quality of san francisco's public realm. and two exist efforts. -- the hub is one of the key areas identified in the heart of city place-based initiative

to further establish market street as san francisco's premiere civic street and enhance the livability of its neighborhoods. this component represents the westernmost portion and represents gateways and connections to other citywide initiatives in civic center and market street. historically this neighbor was known as the hub, that hosted street lines that reached across the city. the heart of the city's goals are not only to make great public space, but to help neighborhoods in -- into market street and make sure that they are welcome and accessible to all. >> along with the heart of the city this project also seeks to build upon and refine the market octavia plan that defines this area as soma west. not to be confused with western soma. it's a completely separate area. and encourage the formation as relatively high-density

mixed-use residential neighborhood as it is immediately adjacent to significant transit. this is the boundary of the area we're talking about not only the eastern notch of market octavia indicated in orange and the line defines the edge of the area plan in general. there is a small dashed or dotted red line that indicates the van nes van ness and market, including the muni station. this is the defined area we're talking about. it takes one small corner out, and part of that is adjacency to the public realm plan.

we have met with the community advisory committee three times since may for input on the shape of this effort and hear their feedback, along with an interesting in affordability potential. we heard their highlighted concern was desire to capture the best public realm improvements in a time frame that also takes advantage of the current development attention. this has helped form the scope and goals that i will describe next. so what are the scope and goals for the hub project in? really two components make up this effort. the first is rezoning and second is public realm plan and i will talk about the former first. so the most important goal of the rezoning effort would be to increase the amount of affordable housing. current applications and pipeline projects anticipate 3700 new housing units with just over 700 affordable ones. through some initial data

analysis with consultant strategic economics, we found that by making modest adjustments to height and bulk, rezoning could increase affordability requirements and add 700 below market-rate units. essentially if inclusionary requirement was increased to 23% on-site and 38% off-site, half of the units would be affordable, getting us to the 33%. note that in this change 600 units being added and then 700 being affordable, obviously the 700 is larger than 6 alcohol. so the additional amount is off-site increased and also the fees that are going in-lieu.

second is to increase transit -- current projections estimate new net parking or sort of off-street parking to be about 1900 parking spaces or about .5 per unit. that is what we look at under existing conditions under the market octavia -- an effort that would not only benefit residents of the hub, but the city as a whole. the rezoning study would also look at parking reductions to decrease the impacts on transit at this large multi-modal intersection, and provide a more pedestrian and bike-friendly you environment. with .25 reductions per unit, even with the significant increase of units there is actually an overall parking reduction. so it actually drops 500 spaces to 1400 spaces within the hub area.

the third goal would be in supporting the arts. this area currently hosts several important arts organizations including the san francisco [ music [ music ] [ music [ music ] conservatory and ballet school and honda site. providing space supports cultural ecosystem of the center. the hub rezoning would also study the mix of the uses making heuer that what -- while it's intended to be a residential neighborhood there is such a balance at a transit location of all uses. additional goals include making sure height adjustments are thoughtfully scoped. skyline will be a prominent high-rise district from vantage

points across the city, specifically the west. i would like to talk about the public realm plan as the second portion of the project. the goal of this effort is to build more specificity into the conceptual groundwork approved in the market octavia plan so they will be knitted together. so market octavia has an approved plan and this is simply look at it more detail as development actually approaches. as the hub contains one of the largest intersections in the city, market street and van ness avenue, and a way to support the larger heart of the city initiative would be to establish public plazas that befit the scale and importance of the crossroads, add a jewel to the public space necklace of market space and inviting gateways into the neighborhoods and beyond. a second focus area is to build upon the

market octavia public realms to foster safe neighborhoods and make sure that the several requires mid-block alleys, c-3 parcels that meet the requirements for mid-block alleys here, these work together as a neighborhood pattern. we'll continue to work with the market octavia cac for additional public engagement and outreach as the effort moves forward. what is actually shower shown here is the public realm plan for the area. and to support the neighborhood in defining its identity. many large contemporary projects arrive in a burgeoning residential neighborhood. due to the windy conditions of this part of the city, this project is expected to have similar features. for example, towers will likely be round in

shape have canopies and will consider the overall effects of how shapes and evolving character. and finally this effort offers a revisited eir process that can more precisely describe the potential impacts of high rices rises. it will be county of to understand the larger cumulative wind patterns so we have the best and accurate outcomes for the neighborhood. we hope this effort can produce the best possible public benefit. i'm happy to take your

questions. >> thank you. we may have questions. opening up to public comment, if there is any? seeing no public comment, close public comment. commissioner antioni. >> and thank you for the report. there was a time when a portion of south have van ness did no exist and howard street turns to van ness from mission on howard street. that is why you the streets moving in strange angles. coming up howard i have to make maneuvers to get back on van ness north or south. that is one thing that makes it more difficult. the other thing you mentioned

diminishing the number of residential parking places. but that is only a small percentage of the traffic. most people park their cars and then they go about their business. what most of the traffic is from these are major streets, and people have to get from north to south or east to west. and that is going to continue to happen. the best solution would have been a subway under van ness which some day we may do. there is going to be the same number of carspt people have to get particularly on u.s. 101, where they are moving northern and they really don't want to be in san francisco, but they are forced to go through san francisco. i think we have to be far-sighted enough to make decisions base on long-term planning to minimize tract impacts and not think traffic isn't going to be there just because we have fewer parking places. the other thing about the public plaza, i think it's a great idea.

you mentioned the wind. it's a factor. it's always going to be there. i am sure we can design wind screens or something and the other is to have the plaza subgrade, which has not been successful with the lady plaza. if it's properly set up and policed properly, then it might work and that would cut some of the wind off. but probably the best idea is to not only scope the buildings to try to minimize wind, but realizing wind is going to be there, then put up some sort of screen to the plaza, to make it more inviting. thank you for an interesting plan. >> >> director. >> i wanted to reinforce a couple of things thatmia said. while this is say piece of market octavia plan approved in 2008 -- i believe it's 2008

it's also consistent with the work plan that we have looked at for the stretch of market street that we call the heart of the city. it's important to recognize we're doing elements of work such as the civic center and tenderloin and south of market neighborhoods. so this is a piece of that overall length of market in those neighborhoods. so it's consistent with the five-year plan we presented to you a few months ago, that gill presented to you as our long-range plan. also does a number of things within the market octavia plan, and the most important of which is the issue of affordable housing. and we're happy to talk in more detail with the numbers that we have initially come up and how we got there? but those combination of factors is what drove us to actually think about doing this. to be honest, opening a plan that is now 7-years-old is not

something i would normally do, but in this case we think there is a number of distinct advantages to doing this that we think is worth doing. so it would be helpful to hear your thoughts on that as us having us move forward at this point? because we would like to start in ernest. we're already doing the initial scoping of the eir and getting prepared to hire consultants to start that eir work, which of course will be the longest timeframe that we have on this project. so i just wanted to reinforce that and get your sense of what is going ahead on this in the next few weeks? thanks. >> thank you. commission johnson >> thank you very much. very interesting. i'm just going to ask a couple of quick questions. the first one is i totally understand the public realm sort of changes and certainly with the parking streetscape and i think i get all of that. it sounds to make this work we need some sort of neighborhood-level design changes in terms of thinking about buildings that were you

talking about awnings and talking about buildings being curved. some of that will comes a result with eirs for specific projects that you have to curve it so you don't have impacts for winds and shadow and things like that. are there any other sort of global sort of design guidelines or planning code changes that are result from this to get the streetscape we're looking for? >> i don't think there would be specific guidelines for this area. there are certainly existing market octavia ones that will fit fairly well. project sponsors are already coming forward and i think what is interesting about this plan, there is already a lot in place. now project sponsors are actually moving forwards this process will happen. so we have kind of a unique opportunity to really help shape specific parcels with their site design. or help them through that process. and having them being aware of the other projects nearby, so they can kind of

work together of the we're also working with the cac, and we'll be doing some outreach in specific areas. for example, the brady block, working with residents there on the more specific targeted areas. so i don't know that there would be guidelines per se, but i also co-lead design review with the department . so i see it from the that side as well. >> thank you for that. obviously i think staff has done a fantastic job with site design review before things get to us. i think it would be helpful to think about what are sort of the overarching guidelines or changes that can be made? so that it's not just about the design review, but as things get to us and they are inconsistent with what we want to see, that you are not leaving the planning commission to have to be the keepers of consistency. >> for sure. >> we're good at it most of the times, but it there are overriding elements for specific projects, sometimes we have to make other decisions. i would like to not see that

degrade the quality that you want to see -- that we all want to see for the hub. >> i think there been some aspects like canopies for example, that will be consistently seen simply because of the wind conditions. that is a kind of new thing and scale we're looking at in the area and an element that might be appropriate in terms of what you are talking about. >> one other question, maybe two. quick question. so obviously we're the planning commission we see designs that are dpw or mta, are you getting similar feedback from them in terms of changes and whether or not some of these things will work or what not? >> yes, we have been talking to mta in particular, quite extensively over the last few months. but this is an aarea of big concern for them, in terms of capacity on market street and also the van ness station. what happens at what we call the four corners where market and van ness come together. mission street, there is is a

lot of improvement with btr and better market street. so we have been in close collaboration with them and i believe they have some staff assigned to be working on this quite directly. >> okay. last thing, crazy idea coming from a planning commissioner, feel free to just tell me i'm crazy. this area is right off the 80 and 81. an normally i wouldn't advocate for this, because i'm 100% about our transit-first policy. i think in service of making sure that we get cars off the road in that area and we can support not having parking, has there been any thought to undergrounding parking underneath some of the realm or talking about that in other areas to eliminate cars driving around the area all together? i normally wouldn't say that, but because of its proximity to sort of two major highway interchanges that come together and come off a couple of blocks from there. i think talking about satellite

parking and things like that for the area will be really helpful in supporting the streetscape changes and really being able to make the super walkable -- you don't see any cars really anywhere except for the residents who live right around there, just a crazy idea. >> all right, thank you. >> commissioner wu. >> thank you. so i want to ask more about the affordable housing projections. so first, you wrote in your presentation "modest high and bulking increases." can yougy give a scope or range of what that might be? >> it's a little difficulty because the towers. modest for a small building is different than for a large buildings. for example, we're not entering any of that territory. we have studied a number of different increases -- the

increases more in the 10-15%, i think it's been a few sites. it's trying to sort of take what is there and like i say, modestly adjust it rather than really transform it by type. not taking a podium building and transferring into a tower, for example. there are only a handful of sites. >> typologies of the lower buildings can be >> in some case it's just adding height to something with significant height? >> if i could add, there are sites at 400 and sites at 320. >> and 250. >> so those are sites we would think we would add -- to be fair, i think it's more than 10-15% with some of the scenarios we're looking at. the idea is to only add it

where there is already zoning for very tall buildings, just to be simple about it. >> okay. on the affordable housing numbers, so you gave the existing is 3700 units total and 700 bmr, assume built in the hub on-site. >> that is the projection, yes and that includes some off-site as well. >> is the off-site inside the hub? i can't remember the rule, is it a mile? >> i believe it's market octavia -- >> that is within the mile? >> the only question is whether there is something different from market octavia. whether it is or not, it's the one-mile radius. >> you have 600 new units --

i'm not understanding the 600 versus 700. >> right. a lot of it because a lot of it is ending more specific numbers, which talk about exactly how many of those units -- so you get up to around the 4300, it's a little less than that. with the level 1 or 23%, 38% inclusionary and fees. and then about just a little under 500 of those are considered on-site. and then 900 are considered the off-site. so these were sort of the back of the envelope numbers that strategic is looking at a preliminary step. it hasn't gone through the rigorous analysis, but the ballpark range. >> maybe i will step back because there are different scenarios you are looking at. i don't think we can talk about

off-site as part of what you are gaining as part of the project ; right? off-site is only controlled by the 1-mile radius. there is no guaranties in the hub. so if you get to more specificity about that, i think we can say it's in the hub. but right now there is nothing to guarantee that. the presentation looks like you are adding 600 units, but all 600 of those would have to be affordable to reach 33%. so there is say little bit of -- >> yes. i have more specific information here. i would about happy forward the breakdown. it's more the effects of the hub than literally in the hub. >> okay. i think the question for be is about value you -- that is what everybody is looking at. so i want to make sure whatever value is being conveyed by height or bulk increases equals the value that we're getting out of more units.

and public realm and arts. so i want to make sure that the calculations are done at the earliest time so we know what the trade-offs are. in the timeline, i assume you go through eir first. when you would be able to even think about doing a central soma type of analysis? >> good question. it would certainly be well-before the eir process. >> so concurrent? >> i think with my want to develop more specifically the height and bulk scenarios to have an idea to run the calculation and make some urban design assumptions and physical scenarios before we do that. my guess is 6-8 months down the road before we might get there. >> right now we have currently two scenarios and the one i presented was the more modest one. there is one that looks at slightingly larger.

>> to be clear on on-site versus off-site. on-site is consistent citywide, off-site is within a mile, except for transbay which has peculiar requirements. i mean the way we have been thinking about the prop k goal is that it's 33% citywide. so we're trying to see if we can reach 33% of the units produced in this area to be affordable? whether they are in the area or not -- >> i see your thinking. i have been thinking about this more as a project; right? i have been thinking about it more as an sud. usually within the sud you keep the benefits within the sud; right? >> commissioner, staff, if i could add some commentary. this sort of analysis that mia has gone over with terms of percentage is the except same

methodology we have talked about central soma and looking at how we achieve 33% objectives in combination of on-site, off-site and units built through all of the fees and it's important to also remember that this area in the hub has a special use district that generates additional affordable housing fees in lieu of tdr and other fees that goes into a pot to build affordable housing. so those additional fees are being counted as well in terms of how many units. >> those have considered in the baseline scenario; right? >> they are considered in the baseline, as well as the increment that would be added through whatever increment is considered through the rezoning. >> okay. you know, i am open. i just want to call it what it is; right? i think for me central soma is much bigger. so it is more than one square mile in diameter, or whatever

in diameter. so this really feels much more like a project to me, than an area plan. but i could comment differently if we sort to look at the square footage a little more carefully. >> commissioner richards. >> interestingly enough we have talked several times about eastern neighborhoods and area plans and how they need to be iterative and to the best of my knowledge, this is the first time we're going to rezone rezoning. so i think this is a good thing and we should be looking at this in other area plans as well. happy to support increased height for increased affordability. it's a great trade-off. i'm concerned to see what the numbers look like. i was a child of market octavia and we never had a tower built there yet. so i can't remember whether -- what the design principles do look like? but generally what my recollection is that they for more modest buildings, middle,

base and top, that you certainly won't apply to a tower, but i'm concerned what the design looks like? one of things on the market octavia cac, people who are moving in the buildings, what is rate of ownership? that would be an interesting number to look at completely supporting reduced parking and such a major transit hub. i would love to see what that looks like. >> in terms of the design guidelines one thing specific to market octavia is having the tower being a little setback or articulated from the tower. that is a little bit recessed and that the podium becomes a stronger influence to the experience off the street. >> good. thanks >> commissioner antonini. >> i'm not sure on your affordability, but i would venture to guess you do a dial

type of thing, like we have discussed? you have raised the level of affordability, but some of the increased affordability is levels up tot to the 140th percentile and the subsidy that the developer has to put in is less because they don't have to do so much subsidy to make it pencil out. that might allow you to not have to make towers as high and dense if you do some of the dial -- if you do the dial then you are going to get more affordable housing by that definition. with the higher and denser towers. that is just a thought. the other thing that commissioner johnson brought up and i thought really important is to find a place for people to dump their cars close to the freeway. coming off the central freeway, right by the planning department, or mission street

meets the central freeway, dubose and 13th street is a constant stream of cars. if those people could be made to put many of their cars into garage coming right off the freeway and handy transportation to take them a few blocks to the north, to go to the symphony, the opera, the jazz, the ballet, all of the things that people will continue to come to and will not take public transportation from a lots of suburban locations. especially elderly people or people with challenges will want to drive as close as they can and to find a way for them to dump their cars will keep them from driving forth to get into either civic center garage or the one by the performing arts, both of which are almost impossible to get into when there is an event at night. so

that is an important thing to look at. >> understood. >> commissioner richards >> one other question i had, a while back i recall seeing schematics to scale it back and create a plaza. there is there any discussion or is that a dead idea? >> there was no discussion and it's not part of market octavia that we're using as a base. >> bringing the freeway down is part of a larger discussion. >> transportation is obviously -- the hub will not solve some of the larger transportation issues and connections here. so that is another project. but we want to also make sure whatever we do facilitates some of those larger ideas and we are not doing some that will interrupt that potential. >> thanks >> director. i wanted to summarize what i heard going ahead. this is a would-year work effort for us and i wanted to make sure we're on the same

page. the issues and concerns that i heard is that we're making sure we mail nail down the value capture and maximize housing with scenarios of middle-income housing depending on how the numbers work out. parking making sure we looking at the parking numbers and intercept parking facility of some kind of lots of issues raised about design and making sure that particularly in this area of high-rises, looking at the market octavia design guidelines and how those could be enhanced in the area? and also concerns and issues about the public realm and how that could be further grown and enhanced and made much more pedestrian-friendly, since this is where our offices are, one of the most pedestrian-unfriendly areas in the city. if that is a good summary,

we'll take that and make sure we incorporate your questions and comment into the next phase of work. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> next item, please. >> commissioners all right 9 for case no. 2014-001503gpa, the affordable housing bonus general plan amendment. >> >> >> hello commissioners. you will hear from staff who have done an outstanding job in rusting down a housing policy to present to you. i wanted to talk about a broader scope look at our housing policy and where this particular piece of housing

policy fits. so by 2020 the mayor is committed to committing 10,000 units for low and moderate-income housing. and spending plan that is roughly about $1.3 billion in order to facilitate those changes. this includes recently changes to that we were able to facilitate up at the state-level with the help of governor brown. to create and rapidly construct areas in the former redevelopment areas. i will say it's particularly helpful because the governor recently vetoed a tax credit bill. so the ability to get this bill through, i think, is really monumental in the face of, i think, of the absence of state support, and federal support as well. what we are spending our $1.3 billion over the next six years on is overwhelmingly to serve low and

moderate income households. that is done for a number of reasons, including the greatest yield in leverage that we can get with state and local funds. but it's also because this -- we have made a policy choice where our precious subsidies are going to those who are most in need. this is also demonstrated in the housing bonds that is on the ballot in november as well. so what we are asking for you to support and for you to initiate for a meeting on november 5th is really the centerpiece of our middle-income program. this is a program that we're asking to you support, which does not provide any type of public subsidy towards it. and i think that done by design. we did it because we understand typically these subsidies should flow for the greatest in need, but also because of where the sites are situated. where we expect these sites to be developed from. these are areas of the city

that have embraced middle-income and have seen it as a value statement. and so we wanted to make sure that the housing that is created kind of matches the neighborhood need as it has been defined by us and by some of the neighbors who have commented over time. so this is a real opportunity for us to support and put forward a middle-income program. and this is unapologetically that and to make you aware of the overwhelming bulk of what we're putting forward for the city is for low and moderate-income housing efforts. the tea tear down and rebuilding of the large projects of the housing authority which will be phased in without the displacement of the existing residents. where we layer on tax credit units, as well as market-rate units. we have created also the small sites program looking at

targeting sites with residentings at-risk of displacement and you preserving as affordable housing for households between 80-120% of area median income. we rustled for a long time and came from the mayor's housing working group two years ago, one the ways to facilitate more middle-income units and not doing it at the expense of our low-income households. what we have before you is really the center component of that. kirsten did washing you through walk you through the details and ask for your support in initiativing support for initiating the public meetings so thank you. >> thanks jeff planning

department staff i'm here with the team and she's handing you guys materials that include vishldz of the presentation today and comments we've received from the public on this item today as jeff said we're here to ask for you to initiate the general plans you mean we made it before an adoption hearing ask for you're hearing this is what we're doing today, the substance of the affordable housing including the consideration of the legislation is scheduled for november 5th we want to time the conversation before we talk about what is in the general plan i could give you a full presentation on the housing program. >> i'll try to go quickly over the points jeff already covered

one of the piece out of the mayor working group and one of the needs springboard for moving forward is the state and city big bonus law since the late 90 when the developers provide an affordable housing they have been having an incentive the state superior court suggested the configuration housing program which ours dodo trigger the affordable housing or the density bonus and that was the beginning of our work and planning process and we started working with the architecture and libby a financial consultant additional also the mayor's working group that brought together affordable housing with the developers and affordable housing developers and financiers to help us craft

a solution but we're also informed by the recent adopted 2014 housing element that called for the density bonus program and prop k that cowled for 33 percent of all new housing to be affordable and this is 60 or 63 of the voters support and supervisor tang did in the sunset around the blueprint that helps o helped us to understand the middle-income housing and the opportunities for the weermz so as jeff said eloquently this is one of the many tools in the whole package. >> so we started the program with 4 policy goal to

incentivize higher goal as you may know 12 percent is required in the inclusionary hours but we wanted to see it higher and this is a tool for that additionally a number of sites in the city not feasible and the density benefits that can be granted along with higher levels of visibility make those feasible the middle-income program and finally to facilitate one hundred percent of affordable housing entitlements the map before you is our program area or our study and were b that includes the city allows the residential uses and regulates the unit by rash to lot area to 6 hundred and one to 8 hundred as opposed to the base code that regulated by descended and bulk

generally those areas require or allow commercial on the ground floor so that there are major show corridors or mixed use commercial areas they are always within a quarter of a mile in the muni thirty thousand parcels in the program area that's a large portion of the city 20 percent both parcels have healthy buildings are not going back going to be affected and not change we think actually that is 200 and 40 sites that will benefit over a 20-year period their evenly distributed throughout the program area and we made that determination based on the uses and the future potential so anything that has you know a parking lot or a

one-story building might be considered in the analysis this chart show us the overhead kind of what i was describing a scenario about the program could generate over a 20-year period if all the 200 and 40 soft sites development in the zoning controls 4 hundred plus units that would be nine hundred affordable inclusionary units in the same 200 and two to three sites choose to participate in the state practical we'll see 10 thousand total units about 15 hundred would be affordable at the inclusionary level. >> under the local program that number of inclusionary units goes up to 2 thousand so that is

more than double what we're allowing now in terms of of the level of affordability and adds 3 thousand middle-income units and we built 16 thousand total units again, this is over a 20-year period we expect the development to happen over time we don't think all the units will - we're in between the 16 thousand this helps you to compare the program. >> there's been a lot of conversation how each the programs serve and as jeff articulated this is one of the many tolls we have and this program does generate housing for people at the 50 percent ami through the inclusionary program also the 80 and 90 percent ami and it tops out with the

middle-income program one hundred that with 20 percent for renter of a hundred and 40 percent ami for homeowners this is sort the newest program new to our city affordable housing portfolio so again two programs within the affordable housing bonus program one of the state program and one of the local program the state has two of the goals the local programs hits those two a little bit harder we've incentivised more sites feasible and hit the middle-income goal with the local programs and help hundred percent be affordable programs and the team we were able to understand how a project in san francisco given the inclusionary

unite i unit requirements maxes out the state program they'll have thirteen percent of to be routine by the planning commission, and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote on site and an ownership 20 percent of those units onsite and then for that we be graduated up to 35 percent increase in their allowable density they'll be 40 or 50 units i like to talk about hundred that that is easier for the market if you're a hundred unit the maximum bonus under the states program allows you one hundred 35 units under 9 state program we're only offering the height benefits if you need them it is in the draft planning code that was introduce do by the

mayor's office in there's enough room in the volume you you think wouldn't get additional heights we know in those cases might mean half of the sites need no height some need one story and some two-story but no more than that that is the maximum allowed and then addition to the density and height the state law requires we offer some concessions and things we grant flou flue in the various or modification process w is available through those projects so the local program it's different we assume we've would have he get thirty percent not a series of options it is required to have thirty percent

affordable and the next 18 percent is middle-income so this rather than the density we offer the code in market octavia additional to it is regulated by height and bulk and also 40 percent two prepare requirement making sure we're having family housing with the local programs. >> and these projects will be given the two stories additional if you're height limit was 40 you'll be able to go up to 60 and if 60 up to. >> so hundred percent affordable that is part of the local program for all projects basically, the same program as the local program density by height and bulk but we're allowing 3 stories rather than

two and lobbying u allowing pertaining to extend their entitlement to many years this helps them to get their financing together we worked with the mayor's office of housing to make sure we are including all the things to expedite their process right away right now project that these hundred percent affordable have to come back and do entitlements rather than causing an additional process remove those. >> i want to provide you all a sense of what is in the legislation we'll have a hearing on november 5th those are the kinds of incentives so both how much affordable housing they

mitigate offer the rear yard exposure and parking and open space and loading. >> and so in terms of of the next steps the legislation was introduced by the mayor and supervisor tang on september 29th we had a small informational hearing with you in the next two weeks 3 public events a web napper and open house on the 26 another city hall and myself and other staff will be joining supervisor tang on the sunset on the 29 and on november 5th returning to your commission for a hearing on the legislation we are hoping to also include amendments to the general plan and to summarize in our case report there are two kinds of amendments one is to a number of the maps in the general plan

that have height or density limits we've opposed to have a clause with greater affordability on site to permit heights several height and larger than the mapping so larger than the general plan maps with density those changes are reflected in whichever cheaper and the land use we've also proposed adding language to 3 general plan to further articulate how those programs will service the microfilm and meets the affordable housing goal to jeff and i are here for questions we're looking for an action for a intion.

>> (calling names). >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm a resident 43 years in the richmond district and it will appear from everything i'm hearing and serging this affordable bonus plan applies to the entire city the map indicates the richmond i was surprised to hear weeks ago on the website of our neighborhood and it just it seems to me this thing is being hurried through without public comment no public comment hearings additional with brt with the city's almost six months worth of hearing with the mta and sfmta we've heard nothing about any of this

we have problems with the increased height on either the geary, clemente or california aerials because for instance, essentially a 6 story building totally out of scale not too bad on the south side of geary the shadow would be on the streets but on the north side there will be a lot of homes no shadow some of them in endless shadow it's unusual to be in a house and look up 60 feet with windows looking at your yards one of the problems we do have existing structures both rh2 and some that have 6 units that have

rent-controlled unit agreements and that ellis act will be used to remove the tenants and many of the tenants i know one in particularly particular on clemente street who is a war veteran with a disabled wife they'll have to move in trying to do good you're doing a great deal of harm and beyond that on my plain clothes between geary and clemente we have two believes that are rent-controlled from the owner choose at the, put a 6 story building in the middle of a block i'm sorry. >> you have 25 seconds left. >> oh, anyway we're concerned about the loss of buzzing

businesses on the geary and clemente and california no program to avoid the loss of small businesses on third street okay. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners testing welling born from d 5 action you say that this proposed plan could possible include 200 and 40 sites let's get more specific let's ask other questions too do the developers need new incentives to bid not right now looking at the pipeline. >> what other plans do add housing maybe being hatched somewhere it is getting difficult for the public to keep up with all the changes to the

public realm and zone i concur with the previous comment about slowing down the process this is too important to rezone so much of san francisco without a low more community at least 6 more months of discussion. >> supposing that this were to be going forward remember that the nexus study shows everything else you build be market-rate every time you build non-that affordable units we created a need not phil the need for affordable housing i'd like to have it kind of issue addressed

in further proposals for up zoning or any other increases in housing which we dearly need, of course, how and what and where? if any plan like this i think should require the bmr's on site and a higher number the fees are way below what it costs to build a unit anywhere for people in the richmond they're not going to want to be dislocated they'll not want to live at hunters point or treasure island 23 people are relocated so many questions this needs to be slowed down we need to specific more about unit size 40 percent 23 bedroom and 60 micro units did not work for our neighborhoods or serving the

needs of locals or families so let's also hear a report on the successes and problems of bmr's before we go a whole lot more to consider ways to increase housing this one needs to be slowed down and a lot more dissolution e discussion in the neighborhoods thank you >> so this is to at all good afternoon. i'm jean a resident of the richmond district and a member of the public member of planning associations so for the record and one of the city's large organization let me start i completely agree with the need for more affordable housing and if possible this affordable housing bugs program whether help meet that need but haste makes waste i know i've heard from other people, in fact, i've

been here to plead with you to please slow down the process there may have been meeting are quote stakeholders during the one and a half years of the time when the project was development no planning depth or anyone from planning addressing this in the richmond district i'm not sure how much has been going on in other location i've heard from people from coalitions they were considering this two or three weeks ago there isn't enough outreach to the stakeholders the residents property owners, businesses in order to justifies having this whole affordable housing bonus program through the planning commission this fast i personally communicated with members of the planning department and told don't worry there won't be anything

presented whatever the 24th little did i realize not presented it has been presented on the 15 of october and voted open in three weeks in between and three weeks one public meeting no city hall to discuss maybe a second one in the sunset a webinar is not a proceeding they'll not be any public comment interaction put the brakes on it and allow enough time for comprehensive input and vote no to the in violation of that program for this afternoon thank you very much. >> good afternoon. i'm barbara graham representing the coalition for san francisco neighborhoods c s n let me be

whatever the 36 members are acoustically understanding the crisis in san francisco and about the lack of affordable housing but we are also very alarmed about the lack of public outreach as the other speakers said with the current prelims of this essentially up zones the whole city and changes the neighborhood character with the open pickup review how this gives us more housing i don't understand we urge to defer action on the plan until the vitality ah p p guidelines referenced in the policy amendment are available for public review and open public mergers are held in the effected

areas a ford why h bp staff made two presentations in more than two weeks this was not because of public outreach but because we initiated a request for a staff presentation at the small land use commission on august 24th and we were so concerned about what we heard that we invited staff back on september 15th to a larger delegate meeting on both occasions staff reiterated the proposal was in draft stage and that the complete proposal will not be out until later in the fall that was in two weeks on september 29th we were surprised when mayor and supervisor tang introduced the h b t legislation that was even

before the neighborhoods represented by c s f n to inform the residents and before planning first open house on october 26th has been appointed by others it make sense why planning hadn't gotten the comments on public comment the vitality design guidelines are still being developed and not available for public comment the public needs and wants to understand the underlying far-reaching effects of implementing ah b c the u.n. zoning of the whole city and the damaging cumulative impacts open others character of our neighborhood for that reason we ask you to defer and turn down

the amending of the plan today. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> christie waning after thank you. >> hello commissioners. i'm chris at the wong the policy director for stark thank you for the opportunity to comment on issues from the general plan amendment for the bonus program we're pleased the planning department is bringing this into guidance with the law and going above and beyond this helps to meet our extremely high need of housing and engages what the local zoning and existing contact in addition to providing much needed affordable this program will tackle a number of

sites with outside of single-family home neighborhood that are not feasible in the past we think this program is trying to be smart in bringing this into alignment wards to the timing it take a a long time the time to start the day before yesterday, i hope you'll stay on schedule and happy about the programs and have a few extensive o specific commissioner sims we will bring when the legislation is presented but to initiate the adoption and the program color to reality thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is paul wormer as you may know i have some interest in what goes on in planning and plan use i've signed for the legislation relating to land use and

planning some reason that never sent out notices about those piece of legislation i guess from the mar and thereafter don't need to be noticed that's a southern i'm not whether to address any other comments i do think those proposals make sense but there is a lot of open questions so for instance, they make a big deal this didn't effect rh1 and rh2 district if you look at the map that is presented and look at it much certainly of the northern section of the city you see rh1 and rh2 on the same block in many cases into woefr with the rh3 and rh m those rh3 complying today pretty much with

the existing 40 x zoning in much of the area what this legislation is written right now says okay. on the same block you happen to be zoned rh2 or rh1 your lot is at the 40 but your neighbor up to 60 that will have an impact on the neighborhood characterization i'm not sure that is the right solution density bonuss maybe appropriate but love to see anything coming forward a grand last year analysis of domiciling guidelines how they play out r m immediately adjacent to an rh1 those in the sunset absolutely it is pretty much homogenous much as part of city are not the other thing not clear how

they're listed the affordable housing bonus b will be in terms of enduring activity construction activity for affordable in the nesting north of the city just not going to return what a code compliant with the 20 percent into a fee because the 20 percent fee is 20 percent of plannings costs 20 percent of unit not 20 percent of budget or 20 percent of the potential nicole schneider income from the sale of unit i'm not sure how much of a problem in the northern vicinity but not means you don't have to pay attention to the impacts thanks. >> is there any additional public comment.

>> okay public comment is closed. let me offer a couple of thoughts here. >> i think many say the right direction and potentially well, maybe not the tall it building in san francisco this has potentially the most impact in san francisco in a lot of ways and impacts in areas and neighborhoods in san francisco i'm really curious this is not the time to talk about but in the long run ties to transit i'm not terrible fond the project being put into process and putting anymore people out there without transit is some of the mistakes the city made in the past with not laying down the infrastructure i've curious i don't know if you want to address that okay. >> i am would like to hear about the 200 and 40 soft sites

how they are different from the properties maybe 40 feet allowed to go to 60 i'm concerned about throwing out miscellaneous questions to in the mid block as you may know every, department of human resources at the 3 feet above the next door neighbor this may be code compliant but opens up frustrations to san franciscans their next door neighbors are double height not a fence or a glass partition we deal with with the drs i think bringing up in david baker and getting practical responses was very smarts i'm not sure the sites we're talking about unless those were

affordable are david baker sites david baker noouj takes on projects that are large than normal in the footprint i know if this translate into promotions in the sunset or richmond smaller neighborhood sites so i guess my questions are the people that own the property if they make those decision they're not david baker style projects. >> correct me if i am wrong kristen but the way the economics work they won't be typically not 10 or 12 unit but large buildings and buildings that are thirty or 40 units because of the economics that's why we have the economic analysis and david with the architecture correct me if i am wrong. >> you're correct most of the

projects we anticipate ben in about this range we can cock it would be helpful to come back to the commission with a full discussion how david bakers working will help the project what we've duplicate with the team developed residential guidelines what would you give our staff in this their designing this building those will add to the residential design and what kinds of considerations around the texture and kind of i think one of the things that resonated with our residential design and david is thinking will the streetscape what the commerce experience i'm clearly not a

designer the pedestrian experience kind of informed how you feel those buildings i'm probably not the right staff but like to come back with david bakers team and explain that. >> what would be the smallest building applicable. >> we've worked with open scope on the they've looking at the 25 wide lot and 50 foot wide lot with the 25 wide lot it is the life safety materials going up higher didn't make sense you'll stay at the lower heights we've found projects in the lower 20 ranges we have exact numbers of what size we anticipate the projects be. >> okay. is there any preference to former lots versus

mid lots and certainly in our area plans we have higher heights permitted on the corner parcels that is one of the ideas out of the invested neighborhood we looked at some of the corridor and also the blueprint and honestly working in a city that's pretty developed that really about where the opportunity sites are and making the affordable housing successful in the places where their opportunity site. >> we have maps of the 200 and 40. >> yeah. we can provide that on a district level on each district and. >> so again, i think this is the right direction and bold and fast as well i understand the need and goal the reason it needs to be considered fast whether or not this get built

out in 2, 3, 4 economic kindly i want the staff to know think about viable in the next economy because it is certainly hundred dollars will not be built in a short time this is in between. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you certainly i concur with your last question commissioner president fong it had not in one kindly how many units in some of the soft believes in 20 years that's a whole generations i personally definitely love the direction of this and staff in terms of the decision making the mayor's working group closed out the finding at the end of the last year and beginning beginning of this yearish if i remember we'll have two hearings of the paged legislation that

will be coming to us this is the first thing other than the fact the notices didn't go out yovp i don't feel a lack of participation or a lack of ability to operate looking for a better part of a year i'm way past that i' i'm supportive i he the same question how do i say that i'm wondering how do we reduce the degree of freedom so people see the program the way i'm looking at it clear benefits for san francisco if developers from many of the soft sites were to select the local program because i think the state program it really is geared much more

towards first of all, the lower be frookt but geared towards local outlet requirements so i think this works from the state program works fantastic in an area where there are no height restrictions so you know the whole issue of having the height and density requirement it is almost mute so in san francisco we do in the local program we've laid out works better inform the height and bulk restricts my question is i don't think that developers see that that way their looking at the performa a lot of the opportunity sites didn't pencil out this definitely maybe other plaza

better choice my question is how do we greatly incentivizes without the city attorney yelling at me saying we can't ask anyone someone to courthouses one option. >> she proposed that comment to me a couple of the that is actually something our team worked an incentive vision zero the local program it purports for the prop k goals and all the things so our team has been working hard on thinking this flue one thing we've done is kind of he limit the incentives and on the state program to exactly what the state requires we grant only height when necessary and the only incentives that are required per our analysis wherewith the local program we're saying yes, of course, you get the height you have 80 a few more options the other places in the legislation

that the mayor introduced thinking about the review process and how we create more clarity a styled approach to it so in the eastern neighborhoods was development because of a large project authorizations you've seen a few projects under this we've created that kind of process for any project that has affordability and higher what's great they kind of have all the considerations under one case so the modification the density bonus and the affordability comes down to you in one package and a little bit more clear and the design guidelines are consider at considerations are more focused in terms of what the commission weighs in on at the final hearing we've received comments about that process and how the way we've drafted it

includes all the projects thirty percent affordable and more and the l ta that has a size threshold this is something we're looking at maybe projects noted that big the smaller projects and commissioner president fong was talking about might actually you know have a more staff dense i have process we're looking at that and the other thing people second-degree murder we haven't introduced is an idea of provided processing if you do the thirty percent affordable housing and this i think we've had a lot of conversations if you give everybody priority wait the priority that is a a question for us internal keeping it filled and if this creates a large volume of projects this delet us that. >> if i can weigh in we're

trying to figure out i mean the city program up to thirty percent affordable so the question is what could we do beyond and ii think we're not comfortable saying add 5 stories or something but so we are looking at the approval process to be honest one of the things that comes up a lot in conversation a way to allow a project thirty percent affordable or more more to say it is reviewed at the administrative level that's one of the things that's come up and one of the things to go look at it because a process that take have to 8 months does, in fact, save a ton of money money and an incentive to the community if we're trying to think of a way to get affordable units out there we may want to consider that. >> i appreciate that response 4 this is a way better response

we had 6 months ago. >> done good work. >> i don't know if in the legislation or the planning code change or how we'll change our process i'll be post ever that from a program more things on the consent calendar up to the staff taking some of the projects and doing that more at a staff level i'm supportive of that. >> just a couple quick comments we have a few more we can see if we go forward with this and seeing that again and commissioner president fong and other comments yeah definitely general plan amendment are clear in terms of the prioritizing the building district rh3 and r m and above but certainly in a lot of the parts of the city have a

mixture i see it adding a lever we can use to get good traffics for more affordable housing; right? so me not every single right we've just discussed and in the section every developer will not take up an opportunity but if this is a lever i see this commission in the future iterations with that in the future looking at those trade offs in terms of design and maybe characterization how have they consider that for more affordable housing we did that last week last week with other promotions for additional units we're happy with the additional height or maybe some more captains active variance or things like that i don't see that changing we have people protest at the planning commission i appreciate that.

>> thank you very much for your presentation. >> commissioner wu. >> thanks so i think that will be helpful as commissioner president fong asked to see both the design tip metrological at the least for it it be next week seems two soon that takes us to november 5th i don't know if there is enough will to hear all the models and the item on the same day more of an foj informational i think we need the information to understand a little bit better so if this only for a new construction believing in you had an existing 4 story building add two stories to it and somehow get to this percentage within the building. >> we see that the addition might with work we're curious

that means a lot of more study but meet the fundamental goals for the whole building financing only for new construction. >> that's why i think it is good to look at the communication when you add 2 stories no longer any density controls; right? so if a 4 story building had 4 or 5 units and added in the two stories all the smaller units that then got you know get the numbers you need to get it. >> this is only for new construction that's how we intend that that make sense. >> along the same lines i wonder if in this your clarifying a financial incentive to demolition the building let's have a 4 story building is there

an incentive to demolition it and replace that is very tricky or dangers. >> that's a great question and honestly case by case we're lucky that last fall the state adopted ab 2222 is that the right number yeah, so this is a clause any existing residential uses that are affordable reasonable person rent-controlled that's the exact terminology and to choose the density program you have to replace those units as part of your project the financial incentive to demolition and those units is lost by the requirement to replace them and is the replacement a physical or as rent-controlled. >> with the affordability correct. >> is that legally possible.

>> the state just passed this law. >> you will have to replace and on top of meet the 33 percent. >> deputy city attorney susan cleveland-knowles the state law seems to relying ply those could be part of whatever it is required up to 3, 4, 5 percent. >> that seems problematic; right? because your units are the affordable units. >> it depends on - >> so again why question should look at. >> couple of cases. >> yeah. a couple scenarios that would happy correct. >> we had this easily what is a one story the number of feet? is that a different measure are you adding 20 feats or. >> the planning code offers a 10 or 20 foot ethnic increase

and then we try to limit the residential stories to within those ten foot increments we don't regulate those and not changing. >> so the equivalent bonus would within a give in the number of feet. >> correct and currently as draft it requires each residential floor to have height toe ceiling but to make sure we're not getting the problem of the floors squished in that's the challenge we have how every many hours ago. >> if there a financial in the financial model if there is a possible incentive to demolition the building or something like that there needed to be a first right to return the strongest this nation has ever seep to make sure that none losses their

housing because there is construction and they're being moved out and lastly i'll say the general plan language is absent soft it basically says and i'll block to the city attorney we may give more in height or something like that it seems like a little bit open-ended the reprehensive to the programs as needed are something else i feel is it might open some other doors. >> maybe we need to look at that that is a point the reason is say may because we don't want to give the height to achieve in terms of a number of zoning districts. >> the city may do you want affordable housing policy it

seems like a little bit large. >> again deputy city attorney susan cleveland-knowles the reason that the language is written that way it is a conforming change to the general plan that so forth from the specific areas so the actual part of policy already in the housing element the implementation measure is the one that that says the city should you know work on adopting density policy programs and the amendments before i mostly today are to conform and make the general plan consistent overall the language is permissive not in all cases density need to be incased and generally try to keep the language in the general

plan general so that it give us flexibility and implementation with other general plan policies. >> okay. >> so i'd like to hear from other commissioners about it there are more desire for phenomenal and scheduling. >> i just want to support commissioner wus issues pointing out it would be an incentive for this commission for a while to take a strong stance an demolition only about to fall down situation i mentally applied this to the new famous case an clemente when we tried to look at a occasion that probably is a perfect site it is 50 feet wide you could go up to 60 or 80 feet the neighbors were upset and appealed and board of

appeals or the board of supervisors but this is a good case scenario of the type project potentially there were two or three rent-controlled units easily and put it in market-rate because of it's size i think that is a good scenario. >> commissioner richards. >> i fully support of concept but think a lot of the the devil is in the details the stricken we do something and face the policy implementation afterward i think the questions by fellow commissioner wu and commissioner president fong raised questions in my mind are we're going to put something in place for creating issues later on and not get it right the first time we've met and i support the xheptd concept any other changes

the zoning for the pressed guideline. >> we've done a lot of research on the history in the city and working on a map that shows the timing of everything i'll certainly look at that. >> i'm worried about and i have questions i wrote down to demolition we've not established a policy amongst ourselves and creating a policy to incentivize that i asked for a schematic in the middle of a block i share the concerns of the residents in the neighborhood and the bmr have to be onsite. >> that's correct. >> okay. do we allow lot combinations drive by two lots mid block and create a building. >> that's a bit of a worry.

>> so the rules keeping consistent within the existing controls. >> that's a bit of a worry for me i guess you know mr. distell wrote a long letter i think some of it especially around the design and i read the letter he was up here i'd like for you to look at that and make sure that there isn't anything we're missing and want to say again, we're in a crisis the plane is running out of gas rather than fix the plane what would three or four weeks make us feel more comfortable in terms of the addressing some of the questions raised by the public i've been in their shoes back in 2005, 6 and 7 market octavia pulling a

face one and rushing this through germany see a problem people are raising the issues just to obstruct there but there is design issues we should smoke out first before we move on this. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. he would agree i think this has a lot of potential my fear we can't have one one-size-fits-all and i'm concerned that we would be creating these blanket approvals of additional floors if you meet certain categories without a process i heard that will the hundred percent affordable that's a big problem i've spoken about the neighborhood in san francisco where i live and where it applies to the other streets and norway we go and car very well and others that are named

the idea is you have single story and other institutions that have surface level parking lots that are better three or four floors retail on the bottom and housing as well but the problem your proposing if that zoning is 40 exhibition they'll do it but potential 6 or 7 floor buildings and if there's no public process for this to come before us and decide if this is a proper project i think that is not the way to do that i mean it is desirable to have more affordable housing particularly middle-income elements but i think the abbreviating the process is a big problem i'll be okay with leaving this as a possibility it could be used in areas but i think they still have to go through a process for

example, to have the 4 story hundred percent affordable or 3 additional stories is something i'm going to have controvertible voting for in a 10 year you'll have a lot of option and if you are going to give a good bonus better for the opening statements you satisfy the educate with the middle-income buyers and renters most of whom have families that live in many in the western neighborhoods and hard for the children and others to afford housing that's the best part of the whole program having a little bit more addressing the concerns that were mentioned today, i'm probably going to vote for an e annihilation but it has a protection for the public

against individual projects how about if you blanket in a program it is really ugly not only the height is bad but a real eye sore not the possibility for a public hearing to be disapproved and the transit issues by the other commissioners you can't expect people will will spend a whole day riding the bus adopt geary to get where they're going we have to look at the transit i applaud the idea it is a good one only had to be properly structured with the projects being throne up without any progress. >> i want to make is clear the conversation that and i and the director supervisor tang introduced the legislation all of the projects will be coming to the commission that has thirty percent affordability or

more. >> so even hundred percent. >> correct. correct. >> that's helpful and less than thirty percent they'll come to us. >> those projects will be consistent with their counter process so if they see you they'll trigger a cu whatever. >> i understand. >> there's 4 hundred reaps they might so, yeah. >> i just. >> commissioner richards did you get our questions about the merging and assembly blocks. >> i'm yosemite it is allowed. >> it would be allowed as of today. >> remember the rest of the planning code still applies not throwing out the planning code for the provisions so - >> so i could buy a gas

station and mortgagey. >> if you wanted to. >> commissioner johnson. >> 0 so i'll end my comments with a motion to initiate i don't think that the general plan amendment that we were initiating don't speak to any of the questions or issues we're asking up here i want to make that clear to people that are listening to us they sort of make sure that the policy objective i've not heard aircraft about are represented in the general plan before you we look at any legislation so i think you know, i have a couple of things i want to say and end with a motion to initiate that didn't preclude us from giving us ourselves a couple of weeks

november 5th we can look at the amendments and not take action. >> that's correct. >> so just a couple of things that that will be helpful i think that commissioner antonini's point at the came in the process that that is how 0 incentivizes the program so we want to see it and really you know can't do too much how much it shakes auto particularly for smaller scale projects but save time and money owning on process not necessarily coming in the commission but to the community where priority processing for things take less staff times and come to the commission and any number of things that are part of legislation and others not they could be discussions making later in terms of the department process how we look at things i

want to make that clear about in terms of process in terms of the hundred percent avenue, i kind of had a similar thought to commissioner antonini but i remembered that it's been a year and a half the discussion in the mayor's office of housing one of the things if you implement something that is a density bonus program or anything to incentivize with the may i have a minute development it continues to put the pressure on the ability of affordable housing are developers to build a site and puts them at more disadvantageous they have to get the funding and support from whatever having an additional bonus allows to those to be on parity with the density bonus one things in terms of the size unfortunately, i think it is

unlikely to see hundred percent affordable housing projects taking the once you go from two or three stories to 5 or 6 you significantly increase the costs unless you're talking about a site that is pretty big not get smaller scale hundred percent affordable housing likely to go to wood construction or whatever it is called. >> commissioner, i think that the, do a wood frame 5 over one. >> 5 stories. >> four or five. >> that's basically the height of what a fire truck would be. >> so tlits there's a lot of 40 in the district we do think this is an incentive go from 4 stories to 6 using the same and

more specifically kate howard and others will join aussie explain how this benefits in the portfolio of affordable housing there are some specific sites we're looking at how those 3 stories will help and that kind of how we invented it in the affordable housing development community a couple of different opinions how helpful that will be and people are thinking about they're specific projects but as the director was pointing out if you stay within that 85 foot height limit with really the construction type of is something we see happening with the hundred percent affordable we're aerobic it helps in many cases but hundred percent affordable housing that don't take advantage of the - they

want to stay at 60 it depends on the financing. >> i appreciate director ram correcting me my memory was fail me i thought that was more like three or four stories and after that, the door pricing transpires or double fantastic. >> i'll be curious to have dbi look at this and i'm sure in that somewhere or commissioner wu's had an additional 2 stories with the existing and stacking another two stories on top of that wood and flat will bring complications. >> in terms of the additions in terms of vertical additions we started to realize it as a whole separate project on a long wish list i suppose as a planning department as we dissect that this is for a

design construction. >> so just in terms of i think the commissioner richards sort of brought this up and commissioner president fong but this does not precluded us how to question the impact for example, lot mergers is one of the discussions that is launching on our list of things to do and look at this legislation harms that discussion it shifts that well, now we have this other incentive or other topography that potentially could be in the neighborhood how does that shift the impact of allowing lot mergers this is a lot of points don't need to be wrapped up in a different program but keeping with the general plan and okay. >> commissioner richards. >> i think for myself

personally after hearing everything today i'll support one more informational to talk about the policy design issues the details on the break out for the district two cd and how to achieve that one of the things it will increase the number of drs so i would support an it possible on this before i initiate. >> i don't know your calendar i'll suggest you could initiate and hold one on the fist and make room on the following for adoption the 12 jonas. >> commissioners that's fine i'm just all of the hearings in november have already been closed their that full we closed december 3rd clearly entirely up to you if you want to stay late. >> also want to add this is

board initiated mayor initialed we have a 90 day window. >> i think it would stop in the middle of december this was introduced on the 29 of december so the 90 days - >> that's the commissions response. >> correct. >> if i could - i do not have much more appetite for a 12-hour hearing so i think this is a good idea to have the informational on november 5th that was the date proposed unfortunately not another open calendar until december 10th as long as it falls within the 90 days. >> okay. well, we could scheduled the fifth as adoption and continue it if 23 is

amenable or jonas a time next week for informational - >> my recommendation it will be request to initiate today by you have november 5th as a informational and then we need to figure out a date for an action hearing he realizes the calendars are full but in recent experience a lot of projects have been falling off calendar too i'm not trying to rush anything by way of i'm fine to ask staff to go out and have more meetings in the neighborhood that's fine two i feel am urgency to move forward i realize this was in september but discussed well over a year with the mayor's task force it is entirely a new concept try to do it in november i recognize

that those hearings are full but a lot of projects do come up. >> will you guaranteeing us (laughter). >> try to move some ultimately it is your call. >> my original thinking along the lines of commissioner richards so i'll pass on to the next person. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i'll agree we can initiate informational on the fifth and see if we are happy with the information we have on the fifth and from the calendar permits on the 5 or some other time in november or december at the worst but within the 90 day period we have jurisdiction. >> that's the way. >> commissioner johnson i'm going to make a motion to initial e initiate and in terms of i think we have take that

motion first and then talk about the dates. >> however, you want to go commissioners i mean i've heard our initial motion to initiate i've not heard a second. >> i'll second the motion to initiate. >> okay. >> you want informational on the fifth. >> yeah. that was my question i would be okay with - we'll do an informational on the fifth and - i think we should just add to our ridiculously long third, that give us a couple of more hearings to push it out further i don't want to leave that piece open we'll interest have the same conversations in november how the hearings are full and we'll be here until forever.

>> i would be in agreement and as we had put it on the calendar and for whatever reason we need more information we continue it but put it on the calendar. >> it is none the calendar and hopefully, we'll ended up having a super long hearing maybe another project will fall off until next year. >> before you call that i do want to thank staff and i want to thank the director and the mayor's office that is a bold strong attempt trying to take care of the affordable housing and middle-income housing problems in san francisco it is a bold swift move but i think the entire commission here and commissioners not here have the

same opinions it is the right direction. >> all right. commissioners there is a motion and a second general plan amendments for sorry for affordable housing bonus program commissioner antonini. >> commissioner johnson. >> commissioner richards commissioner wu and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 5 to zero commissioners item 10 for 2015 this is a childcare increasing plan code amendment. >> good afternoon commissioner president fong and fellow planning commissioners i'm staff planning department staff i'm here to remedy the approval for the childcare increase in the application ordinance before i

begin i want to recognize supervisor yee he'll provide some comments. >> thank you schong and the other commissioners thanks for allowing me to speak on this item >> so i just wanted i'll keep this as short as possible you've been here a few hours one of the goals in san francisco in this position would be on the school board to try to keep the families and children in san francisco whether family housing in this case about childcare what is happening you have this discussion amongst my staff and colleagues developers and childcare for the last few months it seems like only the last few months for some people

but me that's a discussion since 1945 i 85 when the childcare response was actually created i was part of that discussion i wanted to do some of the things i'm incorporating into the new legislation today thirty years ago but some of the ideas were a little bit premature for the time and a couple of things that really kausz some urgency for me one thing is that we already know about the population growth we'll see probably another couple of thousands of people in san francisco living here in the next few decades that coupled with the fact that today currently with very 35 hundred children on the eligibility list waiting for childcare in san francisco we don't have enough

licensed childcare space or capacity for 32 percent of the children in san francisco that's current coupled with the growth i think we need to something has to be done what it means also where are we're going to get the resources we have to be creative at this point the list will accomplish a few things one of them to expand what we call the childcare impact fees that was created over 25 years ago to not only citywide commercially but a new piece the residential piece and the also the development piece we have exist we're asking for increase in fees according to the nexus study that was done last year this is embedded we've had a hearing on that and we

talk about the fees and basically no objection to it the additional fees would result in upward to $5 billion for the childcare facilities fund over the next 7 or 10 years it is not a lot of money but you know relative to what we give now the system we've doubted the amount we're getting i'll say we need to tenfold that to catch. >> just for our information to create a small just small childcare center in san francisco it costs between $40,500,000 and my experience it has been at a personal level i've created the childcare centers that is about the amount we've seen if you look at what the developers

put into the fees it is a lot less than what it costs to create it so the real renovation one of the ways to establishment the childcare space through licensed home based family childcare this has been proven and has is an ordinance 0 the legislation will create an option that is the newer part we're going to be adding to the childcare fees to find a way to mitigate and this would money matt haney that the developers we'll ask them to dedicate the affordable units to family childcare each one of the units could serve as many as 6 we're talking about small childcare family licenses on top of that we

didn't want to have overflow of 20 two many childcare facilities in one building we lee wasn't like to limit to 3 units this way you don't cause those basic businesses to fail and this allows them to receive a decrease in the amount by allowing this aspect it reduces the amount of money that is developers will have to pay into the chiropractor facilities fund we strongly believe that will lead to the creation of dozens of units on the long hall noted immediately but have the potential of assisting hundreds of families while allowing usage again, i want to emphasize that the vast majority of children in

family childcare have in the age bracket of 2 to 3 and when you look at the childcare centers we don't have any focused on the amble bracket so, i say this because we we see over the 25 years in collecting this fee there hadn't been really one of 0 two facilities that has been built by the vendors the rest going both into the fee itself by doing this and lou for this aspect it allows especially in the residential that you have some services right where the people are life-threatening not where they have to bring a 2-year-old miles away so i said want to address the memo i'm submitting to the planning commission outlining 3 amendments i've been working on

the first one is correcting the impact fee assess the project moves from pdr use to residential use the fee should be one dollars and $0.04 per gross square feet and the reason for that, of course, is that there's really a usage the conversion from zero to residential is much greater than from pdr to residential so and the second item redefining the designation of childcare units what we like to do is include the language that says that a unit that we can use for this purpose of a family childcare has to have at least one thousand square feet we didn't want to leave that - it

to the discretion of the developers not end up saying oh, this is affordable 5 hundred square feet and maybe not much to do with 5 thousand square feet but a minimum of a thousand square feet and that will be appropriate for taking care of 6 children and the third item would be insuring if he any person attending for any reason unable to continue to operate the family childcare self-center in the subject to eviction we're exploring the possibility of pro rating the impact fee over the 10 year requirement to guarantee fairness for this city and the developer that applies for 0 this program those are 3 and finally address a challenge that

legislators face when this kind of legislation is first introduced i'm looking at what aspects of the program should beleaguer lad and what spanks should be left to the implemented agencies i've been around other people other policy decision makers where they're on the school board and sometimes a balance 24/7 policy and what can be done any of usly and in this case, i could have sat down and this is a policy and this is the way you should do it and every daily guess what it didn't work i have to come back to the board and ask for amendments to renew the policies and i don't want that to happen what i'm trying to say

give you overarching ideas i expect the appreciation of the mayor's office mayor's office of housing and community development and find a common solution for the implementation and by way of by time would be in a unit that is going to be licenses we're talking about a year away so i'm pretty sure we can figure out administrations active to see 24 policy i'm introducing i want to let you know the operation of family childcare if passed will be the will to do this and i'm appreciate our support for this item i think that is due time as a city start looking at the

childcare issues and moving in the right direction and the ability to create more facilities thank you very much. >> thank you, supervisor. >> thank you supervisor yee. >> i also wanted to let the commission know that always the staff of mayor's office of housing and community development mary benjamin is here to answer questions and dobson from the early care and education is also here currently, the city charges childcare fees for this residential development in planned areas the childcare fees must be spent within the area plan borders and spent throughout the city as all impact fees must be capital costs associated with the childcare needs this proposal creates a new residential childcare impact fee is applies citywide the legislation will change the

childcare requirement for the office and hotel development to add an additional of 25 or more space new commercial and remain fees will be charged based on the number of units priority and the fees remain the same the difference of the fees both the newly childcare fund exception to the new fee will apply to the residential projects government-owned properties and that he document prior to the date alleged fees for the non-residential to residential space as well as pdr space residential projects also choose to provide a small daycare in lieu of the fee a designated childcare will be an onsite bmr unit and a two bedroom for a tenant that agrees

to operate a snams for 10 years 3 recommendations that are reflected in the resolution the department proposed represents recommendation number one remove it from the inclusionary program and create a separate program the city applauded the efforts especially small dafr homes it present several concerns based on input from the mayor's office of housing the department has concerns of tying the programs to the inclusionary childcare and no facility and building that establish a program independent is more appropriate the creation of the childcare unit for the credit for the childcare fee and counts towards the city's - a pardon will be

doubling and receive the credit for affordable housing and here on behalf of the appellant it will include an inclusionary unit the city is in the process of it make sense for that the childcare provider not part of discussion until now and the city is not clear how this effects the inclusionary program this is tied to individual making 50 percent of ami surgeon $60,000 for a family of four and able to start a childcare center should be considered and the family daycare is not able to run 10 years arrest 9 months the city could be put in a situation of other tenant the department asked this be inclusionary and not tied to an individual's

income this provides the fee reduction for the project sponsor without burdening the occupant in order to do this we ask important a creation of. >> unit after one year a childcare unit not there we ask for the fee waiver and if it is infeasible to eliminate the fee altogether recommendation go two clarify the childcare fees currently it is unclear from the fees unlevied will be unchanged in the legislation to have the fees remain the same and adopted button childcare general fund. >> recommendations number 3 the office of early childcare and education should be the agency currently the agency to insure that the designated childcare is running a home for

10 years given that the planning department didn't regulate childcare or determine what constitutes a legal childcare in the home it should remain in the office of childcare education and the childcare facilities therefore we ask the planning commission to remedy the approval of the ordinance recommendations again staff is available for questions. >> thank you. >> open up for public comment if there is any. >> ms. johnson it is poor i know response and also working on trying to get - also with the

contracts that she's wanting to develop and sorry that what you call the - the postpone put in any system that developed is from its not going to be you know on that much i'm looking forward into building houses and trying to establish my schooling that i've been waiting for my diploma, you know, escorted into the childcare services and contract which mostly should be written on a computer so they can understand exactly what aim saying i've heard they're not

understanding what i'm saying so the better he get the computer and the classes i've went into classes for you know clinic substances they have lines about the people that died and i'm going to go to those classes to know about you know new that cause more money to be established for the state and to more on you know better relations to end i'm looking at prouvens myself in a better manner in precede in business

and also looking at what we've lost with my aunts and acting classes and i've already applied for i think this is the consumer - not going to somebody that going to steal money anyway knew it it anyway, i didn't respond in my - thank you. >> hello commissioners. i'm rosie a former family childcare provide provider in san francisco it is not often development promotions but i

think this is very much what happens to the care and whether the parents can go to work and very much part of the infrastructure of the city and we all know that it is problematic for childcare a lot of home based childcare are being evicted and a cumulative for me effect that means that young parents actually cite the policy number one concern concern for the well-being the kids and go to work and hold on to their jobs so what this legislation proposed addresses that problem and give a lot of families in the city to have the hope to develop chiropractor in the city that's it and thank you very much for considering it. >> okay is there any additional

public comment. >> all right. seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i think that is a good concept maybe i can ask staff the nexus was 90 percent of nexus on the high ends but if you felt that is of the the appropriate increase. >> yes. we working closely with the planning department staff and i know at land use and the fee is appropriate and within the range i'll tell you the commission not a be feasibility study but a nexus study study not done. >> in lieu of the impact fees we want to make sure it looks like it will be a proper amount to charge. >> there is some question of feasibility for large projects projects over hundred units inner i believe this was outlined in the table you have the feasibility study for the

fee we don't have one it is hard to determine the feasibility but based on the feasibility and talk about to the staff that worked on the usf. >> i'm in support i agree with staffs recommendations i mean splitting out the designated childcare unit that needs more work i understand the mayor's office is working on the detailed we'll splilt split that out and approve the first part and continue that iuoe or how will that be handled administratively. >> i'll make a recommendation to approve the fee portion but ask that fee the other portion taken out and considered at a separate time. >> right a recommendation to the board that make sense and also the part that the fee should

remain stable in plans we've established those fees that's difficult to pass legislation that is not in concert with the fees and finally, the office of early childcare and enforcement is the right place for it to be i'll make a motion to strike to the following approve the increase in the in lieu fee as outlined in the legislation but split out the designated childcare unit part of legislation for consideration under the future time with the also the recommendations of fees to stay stable in area plans and that the office of early childcare enforcement the agency to monitor this. >> sure i wanted to clarify the elements for the office of early care and education for the part politics to the part of

addition education. >> it should be stripped from my motion will be considered later with the only two parts are industrial strip it out and approve the fees and keep the fees stable in the area. >> just to be clear you're making a motion to adapt a recommendation for two and three. >> and also to strike out - >> sorry. >> so i think the elements is just to clarify the fees levied in the areas will stay in the planned areas in the planned areas the fee will be charged the citywide fee will be charged by the portions goes and left over to the statewide bucket. >> that's like taking the previous. >> now i'm clear that is making sure that what is specified in the planned area

stays in the planned area and still can charge but citywide. >> that's the intent of the supervisor just we said more clarification and that clarifies it that sound good. >> do i hear a second. >> any more deduction. >> commissioner johnson. >> i want to second but i'm a little bit confused on the first recommendations from the planning department about them using the ccu and creating a separate program would that operate program have to come back to the planning commission what commissioner antonini meant in his motion was not the recommendation in the report. >> i actually defer to the city attorney would that have to come back i'm not sure. >> it depends on deputy city attorney susan cleveland-knowles

through through the chair it really depends on how the new the rice legislation will come back about you have considered the designated childcare unit and considered the proposal by staff to straight it from the inclusionary program it's been before you for example, from the land use commission split the file at ludicrously both could move forward without necessarily coming back to the mraks if no further new concepts were added if, on the other hand, the supervisor introduced a new piece of legislation to tale with the designate childcare unite that legislation will come back to you. >> thank you. yeah, so i kind of had that in my mind i love this program i love that supervisor yee has focused on family housing i think that we should be going favorite than this how 0 create the physical

environment not just residential unit but having unit on ground floor spaces and looking at the planning code and seeing a way to create the involvement to have in the area have places to do that and, however, i'm - the designated childcare unit i think that is needed more work i don't know that i support it being part of the inclusionary program one that it takes away part of thought units generally speaking and two missile multiple discussions about the lottery system and talking about the neighborhood preferences and another preferences i feel there is alexander on to it and part of discussion so i'm looking at staff and asking that question i want to see this happen but if it means that we're basically push out a potential change to

the inclusionary program without further discussion none if i'll support is a creative way to move forward but ways we can normal it into inclusionary housing programs. >> other ways to create this as a way of childcare. >> so staff will be happy to work with supervisor yee on a separate ordinance that dealt with the designated childcare unit we need more time to understand how that program works we'll be happy to do that as a separate piece of legislation. >> supervisor yee any comment or - >> you don't have to comment. >> no, my preference will be to leave the legislation and be supportive of it

ii had this discussion with the mayor months ago the legislation was put out in july and some of the issues we are talking about the - can be resolved at&t administrative level weather whether or not we're taking away units we're saying that those that go into one designated or two they have to be low income and it is just the other kwfks if you're saying you'll do a family childcare you'll. and we're referring you know one of the affordable units to allow for that up to 3 depending on how big the

building is we could also not regardless but if you were to separate it out i would try to pursue it and continue to pursue at the boards level to include this in the legislation he have before you. >> thank you. >> i then i got - i mean i don't want to do this i have a august for a continuance to ask for changes from the inclusionary program arguments how to make it go easier and more acceptable and understandable for everyone i know we're note taking away units but creating a presence that is specific use not just someone of low income but someone that will run this type of business in this unit and

addressing we're saying one of the amendments that supervisor yee made supposing was if it family in that unit was unable to run that business they can't be evicted it will defeat the use of that unit and then two years ago or three years ago later canned run the business i think this need more thought i completely respect supervisor yee's comments wanting to move forward his legislation i don't know if i can support it leaving the commission how uncleaver that works. >> commissioners, i think that was the intent of commissioner antonini's recommendation your recommend recommending 9 board pull that out as separates legislation remember our making a recommendation to the boards whether you continue it to another date or not they'll move forward as they see fit

continuing the whole package didn't wouldn't necessarily change that. >> absolutely we've been much more adamant in the history of providing clarity to the recommendations i think that saying we don't sort it in the current form create a separate program that could have any different types of forms that provide a lot of direction or clarity or help to the supervisors who will be considering supervisor yee's legislation so i don't know. i guess i prefer to have a little bit more thought in the planning commission in terms of what could be modifications or alternatives to describe the program so supervisors will have more material to chew on versus

not having that. >> again, i love the legislation he love where it is going i'm not supportive of it personally but happy. >> so i think staffs recommendation is that we last week the program for the units being designated as a childcare unit we don't want it to be tied to an inclusionary unit the program is fine not inclusionary unit so that's where we're coming from the other spanks in the program wear fine with. >> right of taking it out of the inclusion program opened up other questions the philosophy interrupt f many confronting have the lower-income families have an opportunity as a type of

enterprise would appeal to that segment so as a below grade apartment enties families to take that option we need to think okay. if? the philosophy the people we're trying to run that enterprise that unit but yet we don't think this should fit into the inclusionary program what's the alternative sprefrz if we don't provide thinking around that they'll send is it to the board of supervisors level and have to come up with it. >> that's what i'm thinking. >> commissioner wu. >> eject so i'm a little bit confused right now so off the staff recommendation it sounds like there is a consensus on

staffs 1, 2, 3 but with staffs first recommendation to remove the d cc you from the inclusionary program it doesn't sound that is what the supervisor intends to do this commission can provide that recommendation but ultimately it is recommendation and correct (laughter). >> i'll prefer to move it out today. >> i'll prefer not to continue. >> commissioner richards. >> a couple of questions i see the benefit of kind of hitting two birds within one stone the questions i look at the percentage of ami for 55 is 36 k

for one person plus center have we done an aside test if they make that by themselves line item to that amount of income if an additional child came offer. >> staff has not done that analysis. >> it an important lens to look through. >> thanks for that question we actually thought about that number one not we want lower-income or to do this but the reality when you had a small business you'll not make a lot of money but over linebackers but the majority of people as you startup a childcare generally - so there are few

people they're going to make hundred and $50,000 so that's the reality of what it is and i think when we put this development together look at the reality how they benefit and as mentioned earlier the other they know and that's happening there is a lot of new people getting evicted from in their homes and the percentage of people in childcare they're getting evicted we know people are ran those things so what we're willing to do so we understand that you can qualify when you step into the door before i run a family childcare but find a childcare you can be over the limit and much over the limit but over the limited and one of the things we stipulated stipulated from the legislation

when she's kicked out of running a small business just to be clear one could operate a license family chiropractor in any apartment anywhere and the law protects that in this case weigh saying get an incentive for people to come in and operate and provided a service and the trade off is yes, so the developer saves fees we're asking that we not convert the rental unit into a property for sale so basically, we're allowing them the business to be there for 10 years that's the trade off. >> the question if i may if i'm a developer and said to you i'll create a bmr units for an

ellis act or whatever the preference and create a united for childcare an bmr who would you take two units rather than one and the bmr plus a new bmr for childcare because i'm loud that. >> you can do it why not. >> i'd like to move this forward and have two units created if this is available and voluntarily want to do it under the program. >> i'll look at that. >> i support the recommended amendments that's what i want to see. >> commissioner antonini. >> just a clarification if my motion goes forward then we would probably if there are changes i assume changes because of the legislation would have to be nuanceed it will come back to look at the nuance version.

>> only from the supervisor sdp does an additional legislation otherwise no. >> that's the first thing i said to ask the woman from the mayor's office if you're a happy with the motion or prefer it. >> maria beige i'm very happy with the motion you put forward while i'm we're - we think this is great we think that will be great to support our low income families that can't locate affordable childcare and doing the childcare in the building it is a federal bureau of investigation thing but so many unanswered questions we need to work out a lot of things before we e feel confront spellings an inclusionary unit we also are

uncomfortable with the idea of taking away a unit from the - so we would be thrilled to have a chance to put mind thoughts and figure out how we can make is work. >> thank you very much i agree they're good ideas but the two pieces of legislation have distinct and you know even though they deal with childcare they're two distinction subjects and the increase is pretty much self-explanatory so no real option but the other needs a lot of nuances it sounds like you could 20 take too units out of the stock for the childcare center and home for the person running it that sounds like it was being proposed. >> that would be detrimental to our stock of.

>> and that's not what i was proposing. >> that might not confusing in the legislation so i'm still in supportive of what i proposed i think we had a second. >> i'll second it. >> okay. >> commissioner johnson. >> so he seconded the motion again, i'm super supportive i'm hoping to ask the staff if it does anything or make sense to add the recommendation to actually lift that recommendation that make sense. >> that would when you make a recommendation we bring it to the land use commission and state an record kwhat recommendation so the 3 peripheries on this committee will mare that and get the information. >> ongoing. >> i'll accept that as part of motion that goes without saying

in the motion and. >> i just 80 want to make sure that is not what that says okay. >> we're adjust the planning department recommendation. >> clarify how you - >> you're asking for the inclusionary unit childcare to be split from the file? >> well, not necessarily in my motion i'm sorry. >> that's okay. >> yeah. that's probably whatever the mayor's office feels what are the two working with the supervisor and works this into an acceptable form but you know i mean where they split that out that would be advisable splitting the two parts of legislation as opposed to - >> just to consider them separately. >> yeah. separately but your recommendation is a good one of the one part as opposed to the

second part. >> i believe - >> we're the recommendation is to rove that piece from this legislation and consider it separately. >> yes. >> that's the motion and then i - and that was my finding with commissioner johnson is take the opportunity is certainly a good input for future work on that part of motion. >> a it's taking staff's recommendation to future considerably a separate recommendation and . >> just want to reiterate i love that sxooe is puff this this is a fantastic program and sincerely he's 0 spiced me to be more of a voice to create american people environment for housing and how you lay out the space for larger families and create the i fiscal environment

i'll be talking about that. >> on the other hand. >> on the motion tool do you want a recommendation for approval with staff's recommendation for modification clarifying that item one would be split into a new piece of legislation commissioner antonini. >> commissioner johnson and commissioner richards commissioner wu commissioner president fong. >> so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 57 to zero commissioners, that places you under your on item 11 at 2443 plus fillmore an jackson a conditional use authorization. >> good evening, commissioners wayne planning department staff the item before you a request

and stuff that we need to make this possible and i hope that you understand me a whole lot better than when i was ill having problems with my tumor in my head he won an award for having ththis - >> and good afternoon. i'm paul wormer this location is in my neighborhood i was involved way back when when out the door wanted to open on bush street and getting the neighborhood associations to come before the planning commission and urge that the

restriction on the number of restaurant in the european fillmore b be lifted one of the - the restriction on new restaurants one of the things we wanted though is part of that is an agreement that formula retail use food service would be prohibited from the upper fillmore commercial district that was part of the agreement tully have been before formula retail use was a concept. >> i'm concerned that because a preexisting chain on first name is considered a non-conforming use a formula retail use restaurant oh, we're replacing the formula retail use routine u restaurant i'm concerned the planning department knows this is took expand the square feet for a formula retail use given we have

this band in place if we're going to replace the conforming that didn't expand the area occupied i understand full well actually i didn't see has been given federal and state this is about the time juicy was told they were going to be evicted as well that is though the decade property that became vacant because the proprieties were not interested in staying there i'll ask you oppose and honor the intents no formula retail use ount restaurant in the upper fillmore we can't do anything about the preexisting change over and over the stores that grew up that like the lounge we have love la lounge as formula

retail use non-exist but those spots were non-conforming use and they're related to in the other neighborhoods where formula retail use restaurant have abandon that is a will precedent what can go and where ask you to consider that. >> is there any additional public comment. >> okay public comment is closed. >> commissioner antonini. >> well, i'm supportive i don't know the logic i know the actually i didn't see was thetu >> one is replacing the other i've been to juicy news it is located to union street this is also a place in need of that type of store

so i'm supportive of this replacement of an existing coffee shop with one that is also formula retail use i mean, i'll move to approve. >> fact check me tully's was the formula retail use coffee before starbuck's but in san francisco tully's four or five locations i understand your point of expanding and growing bigger a news stand there before but a groeshsz across the street and another 1 across the street very well received in a neighborhood area that loves the model so happy to support and be a second. >> commissioner richards and i guess a question for staff are you aware of the lifting of the number of limited restaurant

provided no formula retail use is that a grandfathering that was mentioned. >> i was not present as far as those discussions but the planning code did specifically preclude new limited restaurant from openly in the upper fillmore mcd that is why it as non-conforming use limited restaurant are allowed but the combination of two is not permitted. >> so if there was to open up like a hardware sophomore not allowed. >> i'm sorry. >> if i had a hardware store and if this is not a tully's and expanding to jason spot we're hearing that. >> yes. section 178 describes

the situations where a formula retail use operator can convert from one use to another and allows for formula retail use of the same type to enjoy that non-conforming status with the conditional use authorization so if tully's wanted to be base hardware that's not the same thing. >> i'm generally supportive of that i actually go around the world with my iphone and take a picture of starbuck's bylaw is hardly a starbuck's so i am generally supportive. >> commissioners there is a motion and a second shall i call the question. >> on the motion with conditions commissioner

antonini. >> commissioner johnson. >> commissioner richards commissioner president fong. >> so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 4 to zero which will place us in general public comment there are no speaker cards. >> any general public comment? >> seeing none, meeting is adjourned. >> thanks. >> perfect

outside out and inside in. let's look at windows. >> let's assume this window is broken in the earthquake. we have wind and rain blowing in. one of the most important things you need to do as a homeowner is secure the plastic properly. if you just take staples or nails and put them into the plastic, we're going to get a strong wind and rip it right off. what i'm going to have somebody do is they're going to have -- this is an old piece of shingle. you might have -- everybody has a piece of wood in their basement. it doesn't have to be fancy. they take out this rusty screw begun, and hopefully you have one of these. >> there is one at the neighborhood support center. >> at the neighborhood support center. you're going to wrap this plastic around this board, take your screw. and then screw that in. >> you need a permit for this? >> you do need a permit for this. and you can contact the former head building inspector to get that permit.

over kid with the asian shelter some of my coworkers are here on october fierce the start of the domestic violence month we know that domestic violence awareness month not the most we're aware of domestic violence we know department of transportation awareness month is the month we push awareness heard than at&t any other awareness we growing and working to address it in all the diverse ways so when i look across the room and till when i drive around san francisco on any day this might be a mark but when i drive around the city i think about all the different was and the different people who are work on case of domestic violence every day i think about crisis workers and the shelter

advocates and police officers and introoerm decreases and lgbtq advocates and burn staff and probation officers and leaders and journalists that be definitely putting a story out that public benefits worker in every sector but youth workers and teachers and childcare workers and attorneys in immigration law. >> criminal law and judges and family members and friends and loved ones and it is a lot of people who are really toughing domestic violence every day with the roll i'm not talking about the people that are just in life i think about our city as people mentions a hard year in the domestic violence field so i think about children who have stopped their fabricate

from killing higher mother and crisis to protect themselves from acts and about transgender women that have lost their life since we meet october 2014 i'm thinking about the access support for the people in the room and been the people that have not the people who lives have mattered more in the public eye or the mainstream movement and people lives that have not and people that come into contact and witnessing domestic violence and nerve and feeling there might be more dread of domestic violence and currently using a pattern the graduation and cell and denies october 1st what will i say what are we

trying to make more aware and what conversations are the conversations we want to push ourselves this month than many other moments the sooner moment to have those conversations not the moments after a tremendous loss has happened we want to talk about more than that denies though sometimes starting the conversation is more than just recognizing domestic violence happens in 11th relationship not just straight relationship we the 80 want to go further, however, from the conversation starts there let's start where we or it is more than that making survivors and community members aware obviously the conversation should start there or not we want people to know what we provide in the city

we're not here to tell you what you do or judge you over the experience the violence we're not here to say you must do abc d or whatever that's not what we were going we want to people to know i'm with the asian shelter or people to know we've trained anti advocate domestic violence protects to talk about what is happening to you not a special right we're not going to think about it which someone calls what language is that we want people to know transpeople you can come o to a ows some save places in the area and other lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgenders we have programs

that are not just thinking that we can fit you into what exists but programs trying to center you this is real and barriers our addressing and lower-income but you're addressing barriers you're facing that deserve special attendance and special programming safety funding not other funding that gets cut i think also the things we're trying to build is also more than saying there are all those bystanders with a role to play we know that every survivor didn't get programming he know that we do know that every survivor goes to someone that he trust at some point you go to the friend the trusted community member maybe not member who that will support you but go to small business that is our role to see those people as the kind of

personnel whether they have a badge or degree maybe in mechanic engineering they're also people that need support and training they need help with awareness and understanding that not just domestic violence happens but their victims or perpetrators but domestic violence is a nuance we want them to know we want to build their awareness if someone fights back or swears or there is no something that didn't mean that person a an abuser if you're a mythical unicorn of a human being we want our people to be seen as people and respond with xhashgs compassion and non-in the right direction judgment and support and in the papers all the time

having the responses i've never seen him angry or upset which he's at my housed we start from different places some people start with that and hear department of transportation no, no we're totally respect if he will if he that's not how domestic violence works what happens at home didn't happen everywhere that's the whole point we want to build are you think the awareness of everyone ourselves as workers and community members and family friend and sooner rather than later and action dominates from awareness so action in we've come a long way month is a big deal. >> (clapping) and next it alicia the volunteer corridor for women inc. it

the deputy director of staff paul monte sereno son and thank you all for joining us and be sure to take pictures of city hall purple tonightamazing district. some of you know that i grew up in public housing. i live there more than half my life, right down the street at eddie and laguna.

>> good morning out, everything my name is linda and breed in him the supervisor for this amazing district. some of you know that i grew up in public housing. i lived more than half my leaf at eddie and laguna. when i became a supervisor and met with the mayor he asked me, what my three top priorities were on the board. and, number one, public housing. number two, public housing. number three, public housing. since then, the mayor and i have been working hand in hand to do something different. 1960 housing policies cannot solve our housing crisis in the city and county of san francisco. nor, can we continue to allow the residents of public housing to be neglected. the conditions that exist in many of these developments existed when i was growing up there. bad plumbing. rodents. no response to fixing

the problem. discovering that we had about 10-$12 million to fix over 4000 public housing units, and we had over $200 million of the deferred maintenance, well, it really upset me because there was nothing that i felt that i could do to change the lives of the people who live here. so, i did working hard with the mayor, with edward lee to try and figure out something different. no, it's not a perfect solution, but it's what's going to change this community for the better. today, we have our amazing representative,, leader nancy pelosi, who continuously fights

for san francisco and fights for the rights of those who don't have any fighting for them in congress. it is a battle she deals with every day. i've witnessed it personally. we are so appreciative of her hard work. we also have the hud secretary, julian castro, here today was a former mayor, and he has a few words that he wants to say and what's great about having the mayor and these incredible federal, national leaders, to talk to us today is that they get to see firsthand the experience of people who live here. they get to meet the residence. they get to see the conditions, and what i hope that they walk away with is a desire to want to do better. a desire to want to work hard for the folks who live in these units. every single day i know it's a struggle. i have not forgotten about where i came from. that is why, on the board of supervisors, it is been my priority to deal with changing the lives of folks here because even though i made it out, even

though i'm a success story, even though so many people who i grew up with are proud of me, they deserve the same opportunity that i have and today, is a new day for that opportunity. so, at this time, i would like to welcome mayor ed lee to the podium. >>[applause] >> thank you. thank you, pres. lyndon breed. were very lucky to have you as not only a supervisor for this district but as our board president and obviously all of you can feel the passion she has and we have ours to share our family stories with each other for quite some time now. with the hopes that we would have a better outcome for our residents here in san francisco. let me begin by saying that it's not only a pleasure to work with the supervisor, it is a privilege because not only do we share the stories we get to do something about it. one of the

things that we get to do about it, we get to and the description that oftentimes is made about public housing residents. that is to say that, i want to be here when all of us can say they're not public housing residents. the residents of san francisco. that's a difference. it's a complete difference in the relationship that we have with our housing authority, the relationship we have with the tenants association, the people that live in a just so happens, it might be economically challenged, but they've got the strength and hope like all of our families do. when we talk about our stories, we often talk about the strength of families, the hope that people have, the things they're doing for themselves and for each other to build strong communities. this is what i think, but it was all about when they first began to build

these housing units and over the decades been challenged with all of the asset maintenance jones, the lack of funding, the lack of cooperation between local governments and the housing authority. we have been through all that. but we have new leadership. we have walking torres and all the new commissioners that are in line with the mayor's office of housing and the board of supervisors. we have a federal government that not only listens. they fight for all of us to make sure were doing the right thing. we have a hud secretary that i got to meet again. the last time sec. castro and i met we had not won the nba championship yet. of course, i probably stuck out my tie. welcome former mayor. san antonio. this is warriors ground. of course, he got it

immediately but i also say to the secretary, too, having a former mayor in that position means an awful lot and will go into detail later on about that. i am here today to announce, again, that the robert pitts housing complex is the third of 15 sites that we've already begun. this result assistance demonstration program with our federal government. we arty started at hunters view. if you go down there, take a good look at it. without rebuilding public housing. rebuilding a community with residents formerly of public housing. you are part and parcel of that through a program that leader pelosi has helped that be so much hope sf. it is giving everybody the chance and hope to be part, equal parts, of building a stronger community. second project, up and center wasn't

within urban and that's down that alice griffith. that's already underway. in fact, the senior housing is under construction and pretty soon see some of the seniors that will move over from the dilapidated housing bearing, public housing, into a very modern complex as we knock down and rebuild their housing. now, it's robert pitts is turned until the 15 sites for this, over $700 million effort that we call phase 1 of that. phase 1 of our rental assistance program. it is a program that is new, quite frankly, to hud and to all of us. because when we got together with supervisor breed and with all of our people in the city we no longer wanted to have a housing authority that would build and maintain poverty isolated

housing. we wanted to invest in the people first. we had to make people believe that we are going to do a new model. something that involved them in their futures. so that we could try to do and demonstrate, what i think is a discussion all across the country. how do you and intergenerational poverty and needed to ask not just have poverty go from generation to generation, from kids to the grandkids, and it takes an entire village to do that. housing is a great part of it. affordable housing is a great part of it, and that's why we have a $310 million commitment on the ballot, opposition a to use that money, to use that resource to rebuild public housing but also in the private sector as well to upper middle classes as well as our low income residents have we built housing for them. but, we never lost sight of the other things that we have to do as a city to end poverty as well. our

communities have to be safe. so we invest in our kids. we invest in education. if a good transportation system. will we rebuild all of this housing, it's going to also be accommodated by world-class transportation system. how does it feel to have our kids writing for free by the second year in a row. he didn't do that with having a strong city. they got municipal so excited after we got the google donation that now we have free invisible for our seniors and people with disabilities to ride a world-class transportation system that is accessible to everybody and used by so many people. don't have to own a car to get around to your job and anyplace else. you also have to be safe and that's why we are investing in

not only police force, but in job programs. we have tech programs. we have healthy san francisco. we have so many programs that were investing in to make sure communities are strong. so, i say to you that i'm a in addition to a revitalized housing program for public housing residents, where we are no longer building isolated low income housing, their integrated communities. they are building the strength of our best nonprofits that are now integrated with our housing authority. in working with the residents to make sure they are part of the voice as to how these units are built, and we are hiring as many of our public housing residents to do the building themselves to city built. another great program that we've reached in to the heart of our residence in public housing and say, we can train you to build and to manage this housing at this same time. this is all part of what we call brad. it takes a

lot of different parts of hard and i know that leader pelosi, every time i called her, she's been so wonderful in answering my calls as we explain the latest thing we have to do with hard and to make sure that everybody understands, because we are all subject to old ways of doing things. san francisco is subject to many old ways of doing things. that is why we didn't build enough affordable housing and how could we go for two decades without having an affordable housing in the city? are we embarrassed by that that we do not build housing in operation for young family to grow up in different ways? this is what were fighting against. old traditions of not building well, not building efficiently, not doing it in collaboration with our residents, and getting their talent involved in using the power of hope sf to do so. this is all part of those hours of conversation that i've had with london with the board of supervisors, with our housing authority, with our mayors

office of housing, in our commissioners. so, we have a lot to celebrate as we begin these projects. robert pitts is going to be retouched, we first, all 203 units. guess what? we've got to make sure we do this to give hope to families that are headed up with people like marty anna johnson. you know, she is a 15 year resident of robert pitts, and i know having raised two children herself and being a strong family leader, she cannot be more excited than any of us to see a refurbished unit become her permanent home for her and her family and to have it not only upgraded, but maintained for the long period of time and having the touch of other residents feel the same,

that they're not public housing residents. there residents of the great city of san francisco. so, i would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to someone who's working directly with us. as a parent, as a woman, as a strong leader of the tenant here, residence here, arianna johnson. >>[applause]hello. >> hello, good morning. my name is arianna johnson dominated here of san francisco. i resided here at robert pitts for 15 years and am the mother of two beautiful daughters. today is a very special day for me. my grandfather was james henry johnson almost san francisco first african american services group what an honor and blessing and for for me to be here. >>[applause] >> this project is also very special to me. not only is a resident here at the robert

pitts community but also as a former employee of san francisco housing authority. i was a building concierge here for six years. we as residents affected by this process are excited for a new horizon. for generations, living conditions have been heartbreaking and challenging. the majority of us residents that live in low income housing desire a clean, peaceful, habitable, safe, functioning and desirable place to live. the majority of us are working or senior disabled persons that are committed to the improvement of our community and our family and refused to leave our great city. but, the reality is, our city is very expensive. so, we have to live here in low income housing. we are praying that the citywide that project is not only improves the living conditions at home, but that it

also ratifies permanent jobs and great benefits for all us residents, such as san francisco housing authority has done for me and many other residents during its history. i'm currently in the application process for construction administration jobs and renewing my security certification license. we are hoping and praying for new youth services and violence prevention here. here, at the robert pitts community alone we have several mothers that lost children under the age of 25 years. so, i would like to say, let that stand forth. we knew, additional desire. we are the city of champions. the new, additional, desire, for all those who live here, welcome back, government officials and thank you. >>[applause] >> now you can see why arianna is our concierge. yes, thank you. thank you. well, i get excited every time i leader is able to come back to it ain't

easy to maloney type working in dc these days. you all know that. we all read about it you will see it and you all feel it. every time that we in san francisco can demonstrate to our federal leaders what we've done locally, it gives them hope that all the arguments that they have to have them all the challenges that they have to meet on a day-to-day basis, back in dc, it is not forgotten. it is deeply appreciated by those of us that are here in san francisco, and someone who as i told you earlier, honestly takes our calls, goes into detail with her staff about what it is we need and what exceptions to different rules that we might want to be advocating for, but also gives us a forethought about where congress is going so that we can be prepared.. i have been with her when we got funding restored in hiv cuts

and aids programs. i have been there when she says, hey they're not going to do but be prepared. start working with your folks. get ready. we are always ready and the constant partner for us. i so appreciate her every time her visits here that we have something else to announce because we are getting things done. that is of course democratic leader nancy pelosi. >>[applause] >> thank you very much mr. mayor for your very generous and for your tremendous leadership. and for making possible this coming together here today. we use the word demonstrate, and the rad rental assistance demonstration has that word demonstrate in it. so here we all are to demonstrate to the secretary as to how san

francisco, not only responds to initiatives from the federal level, but really demonstrates how they could work and how they could work better. it's really an honor to be on the program with a arianna, james henry johnson, her grandfather is in a pretty exciting? how proud he would be to see you a leader carrying on in that tradition. wasn't she wonderful? >>[applause] >> san francisco is a very special pl., mr. sec., honored to welcome you here to see how we respect people. we respect our residents and when were going to have new housing is one-on-one replacing the residents who were here for those who want to continue to be here. it is also about their self-determination, about how a project will function, how it will be to run. this project,

this will be a demonstration to the country of a way to get the job done. in san francisco were entrepreneurial in our thinking. we like to take advantage of exploits in the best possible way every opportunity that hard provides to grants and policy and the opportunity that the code enables us as low income tax credits and other tax considerations, which enables us to have public-private ownership joined with our nonprofit partners. really, demonstrating to the country how we can respect our residents, have them have affordable housing in a way that maintains community. because, this site over housing is a challenge that is about the soul of our city. we are a city that wants to be representative of every aspect of life in our community that cultural diversity as well's economic variation is something

that is important to the father of who we are. our mayor has been such an incredible champion on this subject. he and london bridge, she said she was the supervisor from this area that she grew up in the neighborhood and the mayor acknowledged that she is the president of the board and has used that opportunity to benefit individuals. i salute london. mdm. chairman, mdm. pres. that has a nice ring to it. >>[applause] >> for your leadership. the mayor has done a great deal to bring jobs to san francisco and back dimension transportation mr. mayor because it gives me another opportunity to salute our president barack obama. under the recovery act that was passed we were able to do so many things for san francisco. you know why? because san francisco could demonstrate that they knew how to be a model to the nation. to have initiatives that were of national significance. it's a continuation of thursday rail, central subway, trans-bay

terminal, the puppy whatever it is, jobs immediately promotion of commerce and transportation, cleaning the air, promoting quality-of-life, this is really important but sometimes those advances raise the price of housing in a community. so we have to mitigate for that one part of that success by addressing it directly. that is the mayor is the full package. job creation. transportation initiative. jobs immediately and jobs jobs long term but also recognizing the responsibility we have to have affordable housing in our community. this secretary is really remarkable. he was amir sue will grant him that. his brother served in congress with me. his twin brother. joachim castro former mayor of san antonio. we will talk about the spurs in the warriors just now.

however, i had the privilege of being invited to his swearing in. i wish you could have been there. i went of course to pay tribute to the new secretary of hud but i mainly went because i was honored to be invited so i could say directly to his mother , rosie, congratulation kit woolsey's mom had was actually barefoot into archives. this is the american dream personified. she made a success of herself but these twin boys trailing along to public civic events, growing up with a sense of responsibility. of getting back. they had the advantage the best education someone say, that our country could provide, and they were prepared to give back. as i said, i served with walking in the house of representatives. his twin brother, and mayor caster went from being the mayor of san antonio to be the secretary of

hud. on that day, read this i get it right. the president said, walking is a proven leader a champion for safe affordable housing and strong sustainable neighborhoods. in building a housing market we do some homelessness among veterans, thank you and connecting neighborhoods with good schools and good jobs that have our citizens succeed. he has in the one year he is been secretary, lowered mortgage insurance premiums to make ownership more affordable, help families access strong neighborhoods with sure housing choice vouchers and empowering local leaders with new tools to invest in their communities and that's one of the reasons we are here today. that is one of

those new tools. in july of 2015, just a couple months ago, pres. obama wants one of secretary caster's signature project. connect home. which accelerates internet adoption in 20 communities providing broadband electronic devices to children living in public or assisted housing, secretary castro continues to strive to make housing a platform that helps folks achieve a better quality of life. how perfect. how perfect. these two measures, one for mayor my current mayor at that goal, to achieve a better quality of life for the people for whom we are responsible. we think, mr. sec., that san francisco is a model to the nation. we are very proud of the successes and the challenges, and the successes that we have had. we think that when we take on a project we will do it in a way that's about national significance. we are not competitive or anything. we are not proud or anything. we just want to help others and i know

you did to. please let us welcome this wonderful great sec. of hud, boolean castro. >>[applause] >> thank you. thank you so much mdm. leader. it is wonderful to be here whoever world's great cities. i want to say thank you for hosting me. you know, my brother joachim is a privilege of serving with the majority with leader pelosi soon-to-be speaker pelosi. again. and by brother joachim, habitually introduce himself by saying a way that tells about since wetlands, minute other than he is. so, hope you'll disabuse them of that notion in the future. they told me that was unseasonably warm here in san francisco. some glad that i got home a couple days ago to 97° heat to practice for here.

mayor, thank you for having me. this is not the first time that we've had a chance to spend time here in san francisco, but each time that you visit very impressed by the work that you and the board of supervisors and all the folks that you collaborate with are doing to provide housing opportunity for san franciscans. i also want to commend supervisor london reed could we are in her disappeared as she said, she is only talked about this she's lifted. because of that emma i know like me, she feels very blessed in her own life to had opportunities in the doing everything that she can for public service to give that opportunity to others. thank you supervisor breed for your leadership. >>[applause]i also want to recognize just briefly barbara smith the second director of this in francisco housing. what about ago? thank you for the work that you are doing here we cannot do it without a housing authority. and of course, to arianna johnson. great

community involvement and tenant leadership is so important to success in all that we do, so thank you for your inspiring words today. keep it up. keep it up. i also want to just briefly recognize all of our private partners who are here. they're too many of them to name, but they are integral to the success the reynolds assistance budget please raise your hand if you're one of our private partners. >>[applause] >> thank you. we are here today because we believe that housing is a powerful platform for greater opportunity in people's lives. and because we believe that everyone ought to have access to good affordable housing, to build up to other american dream. we also know that our nation is in the midst of an a for the housing crisis. in fact, just a couple months ago the national low income housing coalition reported that in no single community, if you're working 40 hours a minimum wage, can you afford a two-bedroom apartment. that in

very few places, could you even afford to rent a one-bedroom apartment. in fact, here in california the person would have to work 92 hours a week to afford a place. the affordable housing crisis comes at a time when our nation's public housing stock is particularly challenged. we have roughly 26 billion-dollar backlog in capital needs. we lose 10,000 units of public housing to disrepair every single year. now, we know that leader pelosi and folks like her have been fighting like crazy and then right on this issue. to ensure that the resources are there. we also know, though, we live in a resource constrained environment and for that reason, in 2012 hud wants the rental assistance demonstration.

also known as rad. fundamentally, it is housing authorities and owners of assisted housing convert to long-term section 8 contracts. that allows them to better leverage private debt and equity to improve their properties. so, instead of falling into disrepair, they get renovated. i am proud to announce that this effort has established a proven record of success in just three years, that has leverage over $1 billion in new construction dollars of public housing properties throughout the united states. >>[applause] >> that is making a difference in communities throughout our nation and committees like this one.. the rack conversion of robert b woods apartments will of the san francisco housing authority and its partner to invest $31 to rehabilitate over 200 family units. this investment will help ensure that these families have a modern and safe, good place to

live. we want to see rad make a difference in more communities. so hud is working with congress to lift a cap on this program so that we can help more families across this nation also have good housing. we know that the affordable housing crisis is growing, and we also know that that is part of a solution. i've had the opportunity now as hud secretary to travel to more than 50 cities in 14 months. i can tell you that san francisco is a national leader when it comes to collaboration and creativity in creating and sparking new housing opportunity. congratulations, to san francisco. >>[applause] >> so, we look forward to the renovation of these homes and to all the wonderful opportunities that will be made possible because of the work that you are doing here in this beautiful community. thank you very much.

>>[applause] >> my pleasure to bring back up leader pelosi. >> thank you seconded. well, let me thank everyone here today. i see across this wonderful field a bevy of nonprofits that i know i can help us rebuild all of our communities from chinatown development to bridge to mercy to tabernacle to tenderloin, and then i also does a thank you to bank of america. they won the right to leverage. two words secretary breezy more often these days in san francisco. when teaching it to kids. we're teaching it to parents. that is, invest and leverage. invest and leverage. because the best investment anybody can make in san francisco is to start your family here because when you start a family, that means schools, transportation, housing, safety, are all been

taken care. that's the best investment. then we got a leverage that by people participating making sure you vote and making sure we pass proposition a and all the things we need to do to build an rehab and stabilize our neighborhoods. thank you everybody very much. thank you to our federal representatives, two. >>[applause]

>> teachers and children have a wonderful day walk to school stay smart and be respectful and responsible and be kind thank >> hi. welcome to san

francisco. stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. let's look at common earthquake myths. >> we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. we have 3 guest today. we have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. i want to talk about urban myths. what do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance? >> he's sleeping during those earthquakes? >> have you noticed him take any special? >> no. he sleeps right through them. there is no truth that i'm aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake.

>> you hear the myth all the time. suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something >> i hear they are aware of small vibrations. but yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. >> today is a spectacular day in san francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. is this earthquake weather? >> no. not that i have heard of. no such thing. >> there is no such thing. >> we are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. there is no relationship. i have heard it's hot or cold weather or rain. i'm not sure which is the myth. >> how about time of day?

>> yes. it happens when it's least convenient. when it happens people say we were lucky and when they don't. it's terrible timing. it's never a good time for an earthquake. >> but we are going to have one. >> how about the ground swallowing people into the ground? >> like the earth that collapsed? it's not like the tv shows. >> the earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but it's not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes.

>> it's not going anywhere. we are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. >> southern california is moving north. it's coming up from the south to the north. >> you would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. >> for better or worse. >> yes. >> this is a tough question. >> those other ones weren't tough. >> this is a really easy challenge. are the smaller ones less stress? >> yes. the amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many

of those. >> i think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4.7. >> so small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future? >> not anyway that you can count on. >> i have heard that buildings in san francisco are on rollers and isolated? >> it's not true. it's a conventional foundation like almost all the circumstances buildings in san francisco. >> the trans-america was built way before. it's a pretty conventional foundation design. >> i have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to

go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. is there anything of value to that ? >> yes, if you are in your room. you should drop, cover and hold onto something. if you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. if you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, it's not a bad place to be. >> the reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. you are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. you are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. >> you want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. >> where can i buy a richter

scale? >> mr. richter is selling it. we are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. they are not available. it's a rather complex. >> in fact we don't even use the richter scale anymore. we use a moment magnitude. the richter scale was early technology. >> probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. is that true ? >> loma prieta was different. the ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. so anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken.

>> we are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to san francisco and a fault totally independent. >> much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. >> so people who were here in '89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isn't really the threshold of damage. when you triple it you cross that line. it's much more damage in earthquake. >> i want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for . >> working for the city and

county of san francisco will immerse you in a vibrate and dynamic city on sfroert of the art and social change we've been on the edge after all we're at the meeting of land and sea world-class style it is the burn of blew jeans where the rock holds court over the harbor the city's information technology xoflz work on the rulers project for free wifi and developing projects and insuring patient state of at san francisco general hospital our it professionals make guilty or innocent available and support the house/senate regional wear-out system your our employees joy excessive salaries

pretty big earthquake a few years ago, 1989, and it's about 26 years ago was a pretty big earthquake across the bay and brought down the date. it broke a piece off of our bay bridge and some buildings with brakes on it kind of fell off and hurt some people. so, i was around here in the city at that time. i made a promise to myself, to my family, >> good morning everyone we are going to practice our earthquake drill right now.
