general consumers to that maybe going into the tests and asking for the italy biotics is not the best thing to do get people to been shopping you'll never go randomly buy a car or washing machine why are you taking this medicine so get people to think about this from a consumer prospective and actively consumers i'll note that while i and consumers reports the fupgs foundation is wlookt both angles we're trying to change the culture. >> i read a presentation on this on the committee to reduce the over use many hospitals know how to assess their electronic health roared one physician if

south side cindy sgifz to any facility whether you try to order an mri is spits out a message is this needed here's the information you can give the patient and information for you, i mean it is so thorough like physicians don't like to say i'm sorry we'll not give you the mri here's the taking talking about that have the i've suggested at some of the meetings write into the performance guarantees we'll at lea measures those areas and maybe incorporate the 5 questions it is a fantastic campaign and laying on the shelf waiting. >> i'll add in addition that the phase if you're willing to

take on to 4th i recommend italy biotics for upper respiratory all the grantees are working on to the mandate topic to add to that and leverage off what the other organizations are doing. >> since the doctors are the gatekeepers california we go to the doctors. >> they're the ones that came forward with the recommendation from tare society and hospital systems and seeing it in other h.r. systems around the country's but there's a whole campaign specifically doctors and talking about how they can change the communication and the video talking about points, etc. >> can i. >> please. make a comment again as a physician we want to practice

this is a big fence to chop big hurdle so some of the issues around you know is half any career at kaiser permanente i was wonders every encounter the patient get an encounter summon if i have low back pain whether or not i ordered a back scan the system could, in fact, printout the link to low back pain and if you want to be serious it is too late if the physician has ordered the mri because then the member has to go back and read it as the call back i read about it and we jumbled the gun so the ways to do this if we're going to think about this do that in a way it

gets to our members at a time before the antibiotic they've paid the co-pay and said oh, i shouldn't be taking this this is a big deal just not the simple oh, promote it. >> one of the major health systems inform california i shouldn't name it they're not public but one of the things to do when people call in or go online to make an appointment they say headache here's things have you tried this before our appointment so they're willing to change the conversation their primed about the conversation maybe not the imaging tests and so forth. >> a large people in general

♪ country will take drugs for anything it is hard to change. >> they'll rather do that than something else i'd like to see a change >> i guess it is a matter of a journey with the first step to that ends he'll request it director dodd work with our staff to come up with some suggestions how we can integrate this in would some of the things we're already undertaking with the members in this current year open enrollment has gotten startles but sends shock though the staff california we do something this year and try to align with the statewide effort to monitor certain of those

diagnoses areas. >> how much money is involved. >> how much money is involved no there is no cost to be involved all the materials we have are no cost it seems like a little bit fishy no coasts from the materials you want to use and consumer reports are available at no cost. >> i'd like to see if we could have something in january meeting and if you're not reed's maybe february but january will be i think a good starting point to figure out the first step we're take those 5 questions and put them on the website and that's what we do whatever you and the team want to bring forward as a follow-up and you seem to apply there are people that are formally quote adapted the program; is that right. >> 7 choosing wisely with the

foundation through the a b i m and each of those 7 grants as to two health care systems within that and in addition, we have partners and empire reports that have adopted it some are employers and health and nonprofit they're promoting to in their consumers through their own channels. >> thank you. >> t b h is a partner. >> exactly. >> any other questions for the board east bay can thank you we're at a point power points and voluntary benefits those will be brought back at subsequent board meetings and a

>> good afternoon everyone. welcome welcome. this meeting will come to order. this is the regular meeting of the land use and transportation committee. i am supervisor malia cohen chair of the committee to my right is supervisor scott wiener and joining us is jane kim and we have a guest today supervisor john avalos. our clerk today is alisa somera. i would like to thank sfgtv who be working with us televising and broadcasting this meeting on sfgtv. sfgtv madam clerk do we have any announcements today. >> yes. please silence all cell phones. completed speaker cards submitted to the clerk and items will be on thed. items acted on today will be on the december 1 board of supervisors

agenda unless otherwise stated. >> thank you very much. jd you please call item 1. >> item 1 is amending the planning code to establish a citywide transportation sustainability fee and apply to citywide transportation services and homeless services for [inaudible] >> okay colleagues this is a copy of this sent back to the full board to us so we could memorialize a few fee structure for the medical and hospital services. after weeks of conversation i am pleased to report to the full board meeting we reached an agreement, the non-profit hospitals to contribute to the public transportation system. in the initial proposal all hospitals were 100% exempt from paying tsf on new hospital medical service facilities but as a result the negotiation and the ordinance was amended to include two points. the first one is an

$18.74 fee on net new hospital beds effective immediately and not after the seismic mandate. the second point is a new 11-dollar fee on medical services buildings over the 12,000 square foot mark. now both new hospital beds and new medical services have an impact on our transportation system, and it's essential and fair that everyone contribute something to the system which serves the patients as well as employees, so colleagues i have circulated a few more cleanups to the changes to the language that we introduced and as a result of ongoing discussions with the hospital council about the final proposal. they include a few key points which i'm going to read into the record. first it's cleaning up of definitions to use the term "outlined" in

section 102 of the planning code for health service and hospitals. second it's adding a reference that grandfathered non residential and pdr portions of projects are subject to this but pay the applicable rate. the third point is adding a reference to the calculation section on page 11 clarifying that the tsf is calculated only on the amount of net new gross square feet for the project and consistent with references in the planning code. the next point is a simplification of fee, calculation for new hospital beds and adding a formula which matches the language describing the calculation in the methodology. the fifth point r point is adding a provision for future

changes from hospital to non hospital use and pay them based on square footage not received the benefit -- not receive the benefit of hospital examination. the sixth is the goal of this change was to clarify that the hospital exemption is intended to benefit hospital uses not future property owners who will be changing the use of something such as office and would have otherwise paid a high rate if they built the project, and finally the final additions some other grammatical and non substantive changes in the ordinance that are included at the request of the city attorney, so these changes are non substantive. they're clean up in nature to the conceptual agreement we reached a few weeks ago. i would like to thank the staff who assisted myself and

staff to come into the agreement and includes mta, planning, d hp and the city attorney's office as well as the members of the hospital council for working with us on this compromise and recognize ed reiskin and others from mta and the planning department, colleen from dph, andrea [inaudible] -- my apologies from the city attorney's office and david from the hospital council who are here today. also i want to acknowledge my staff who has been instrumental. many of you have connected with her as we negotiated this so colleagues given the number of hearings and hours we have spent on this staff is here for questions but not making a formal presentation and if there are no comments perhaps we can move to public comment. guest number one. supervisor avalos.

>> thank you and i'm glad that we sent this item to committee with the duplicated file that has the amendments that we have made that grand father in the non residential commercial projects that were submitted before july 21, 2015 to pull -- pay the full fee. the amount of money that i am seeing from my legislative aid that this will enable us to access for transit is about 2.1 million dollars. i'm not sure if that is the amount of money that will be paid in full i think it's the difference -- what was these we were going to pay for the old one to the tsf so it's a significant amount of money and i appreciate my colleagues supporting this amendment and it's part that we have done to actually grow the amount of money we have for

transportation projects that the tsf will fund so thank you. >> thank you very much. are there any other members? all right seeing none let's take public comment. i have one public comment card here. why don't you come up and as a point of reminder public comment is two minutes. you will hear a soft chime indicating that you have 30 seconds left. thank you for being here. >> well members of the committee and thank you for that summary. i do want take a moment and echo your comments supervisor and acknowledge your leadership on the issue bringing the parties together, staff and others on the board. we think this is equitable solution and one that as a community we can live with so thank you. >> thank you very much. it's a pleasure to work with you and your team. next speaker please. >> good afternoon supervisor. i'm from the san francisco chamber of commerce. the

chamber was hoping that hospitals and medical centers and non-profits would fall under the chairible exemption but we understand the reasons for the amendment we want to commend the hospital council, supervisor cohen and her staff for working out what is really a reasonable and equitable decision on hospitals and the chamber is supportive of the tsf. thank you. >> thank you very much. are there any other members to speak on this item? seeing none. public comment is now closed. [gavel] so colleagues as i mentioned in the opening remarks i think we struck the right balance, deal to ensure that hospitals and medical service facilities are contributing to our transportation system while recognizing they provide an important public benefit. what i would like to do at this time is make a motion that we adopt the amendments that i have circulated and forward this to

the full board with a positive recommendation. >> so i will make a motion for the amendments and move this forward with recommendation and just before we vote i do want to just thank chair cohen for all of your work on this. this is a very complicated ordinance with moving pieces and interested stakeholders and different perspectives coming to this compromise agreement on how to balance payment for impact on traffic which i think our hospitals certainly contribute to but finding a more fair way to actually assess that and by square footage is a nice balance and i want to appreciate the hospital council for working closely with your office to get to this place so thank you for everyone's work. >> thank you. a motion has been made and seconded and without objection this motion passes unanimously. [gavel] thank you. thank you for the support colleagues. thank you

andrea and david. madam clerk could you please call the next item. >> would you like me to call two and three together. >> yes, i would. >> item two and three are amending the rincon hill area plan and zoning map for limits and tower separations at 525 harrison street. >> all right. thank you so much. supervisor kim is the lead on this, and i'm going to turn it over to supervisor kim. >> thank you chair cohen and also happy to see these two items come before the land use committee. first of all i do want to thank the developer for cooperating and working with our office over the last three months since august when it came to the planning commission. towards working with us on a project that provides increased affordable housing on site, but

also takes into account some of the design elements and concerns raised by the planning commission. this site is a very unique site located just north of the 80 bay bridge, and is a very strangely shaped parcel and of course across the street from many residential towers in construction now as part of the rincon hill master plan and zoned at 400 feet and we are going to be making some amendments to the rincon hill plan to allow for a tower that is able to provide more square footage and builds additional units on the site. this project requires payment to the rincon hill community infrastructure impact fee and also the soma stabilization fund to support neighborhood infrastructure improvements and community stabilization and funds over $5 million. what is introduced at the full board is

legislation that reduces the requirement on the tower separation control to accommodate for the tower. rather than a squatter base per the planning commission's recommendation it commits the project to a higher below market commitment of 12% which is required via law up to 15% and i want to appreciate the developers for providing this commitment with the additional 26 units that will be built on site. the project sponsor is committed to paying 50% of the fund fees which we passed identity of committee today, and it also commits the project to complete significant pedestrian safety improvements surrounding the towers base and including sidewalk widening and trees and signalized krowkz on harrison

and exessex and important to the those in the area and advocates in district 6. as we build development in the high density areas and high entry corridors important to mitigate for residents coming to the area and i am pleased to see that harrison and essex will be more residential friendly through the passage of this project despite being right at the mouth of one of the freeway areas. these are the basic overall components of the project. i see that planning department is here to present on the specificities of the parcel so i'm going to hand things over to our department unless there are any questions or comments from committee members. >> supervisor wiener has a few comments. >> thank you very much. i maybe planning will address this in terms of the tsf that is

paid and -- [inaudible] and also the rationale around the affordability percentage. i can comment afterwards. >> all right. thank you very much. >> good afternoon supervisors. rich from the planning department staff. the legislation for you is a request to initiate legislation associated with the general plan amendment, planning code text amendment and zoning map amendment for the project at 525 harrison street. the proposed legislation includes a general plan amendment of the rincon hill area for the tower spacing and requirements of the san francisco planning code. the planning code text amendment allows for the spacing requirements for the block. the proposed zoning map amendment from 65/400-r height to 65/250-r height and accommodate a project at harrison street which clsd a

new -- includes a residential tower and 500 square feet of retail space and 103 parking spaces. the planning commission recommended approval of the general plan amendment, the text code amendment and the zoning amendment. at the public hearing the commission reviewed the proposal to include the inclusionary housing requirement from 12 to 15% and accomodate for the payment of the fee that's board passed today so this concludes my presentation and i am available for questions. just to address some of supervisor wiener's comments on the affordability. it was accommodated due to the proposed legislation before you so because they're getting an increase in development potential from the legislation we're able to accommodate for increase in affordability. >> madam chair may i? >> yes please.

>> so in terms of the rationale for 50% of tsf instead of 100% of tsf? >> i might defer to the project sponsor on that. >> good afternoon supervisors. steve from [inaudible] on behalf of the project sponsor. the ordinance you passed tsf has a 50% payment for projects in the pipeline. we committed to doing that regardless of the legislation and we're fully in tune with the legislation. >> so it's the grandfathering. >> correct. >> thank you. >> i wanted to clarify that so we negotiated this in september before we knew what the final amendments would be but i asked the project sponsor to scmit to 50% which is ultimately what was selected for the grandfathering and the full board but this was committed before that and i

want to appreciate that commitment. >> thank you. >> thank you. okay. well, is there any public comment at this time? please come on up. >> supervisors good afternoon. i am cameron faulkner and we brought some slides of the presentation. we can quickly run through that if you would like. i would like to introduce myself. let you know we have been working on this project in collaboration -- >> let me ask you sir how many slides? >> that's five. >> okay. >> [inaudible] >> sure. let's begin. are they cued up? >> sure. >> okay. >> so this is just a very brief summary of the slides that we presented planning commission. this is hard to read but gives a summary of the project. i think supervisor kim alluded to this. it's 205 unit

project, 22 stories of occupied space. it was originally 25 on site affordable units and increased now to 31. the project is at the corners of harrison and essex. we've got the bulk showing here on the massing that was ultimately a collaboration with the commissioners of the planning commission and planning staff and our team. solomon cord benz is the architect and you can see that the sculpting was done to meet the vision of rincon hill and the strong base and the tower above, so that's the one side of the project. here's an architectural rendering from the other side showing how we pulled the tower back from the freeway from the exist ramps creating that face and the lessening of the facades along those lines.

this is a rendering of the project as it's now conceived. it's been sort of lightened up to match the rincon hill -- i am out of time. >> sorry about that. just continue. >> i wanted to show the before and after of the streetscape. the upper left corner shows the building on site. it was a old racquetball club and currently a night club and auto detail shop and uses in line with the rincon hill rincon plan and this will bring active uses, a cafe, bike shop, pedestrian and safety improvements which we're pleased with. i have a couple of emails from vision zero and the folks supporting us and helping us come up with the plan for the pedestrian safety improvements so i will leave those with you here. i wanted to give you that quick overlay and answer any

questions that you have. >> thank you very much. i appreciate your presentation. let's see. let's go ahead and open up for public comment at this time. if there any members of the public that are here -- sir, are you done? sir, are you done? >> yeah. >> okay. just hanging out there at the podium. if there is any members of the public that would like to comment on items two and three please come up at this time. public comment is open. seeing none. public comment is now closed. supervisor kim. >> thank you chair cohen. i have passed out a series of minor amendments to make to these two items today. the general plan amendments make no substantive changes. just clerical changes and updated and corrected title and findings. the planning code amendment adds the requirement to add 15% affordable housing on site and use the tower and basing

exceptions on page seven lines 1-6 and as a finding of the exceptions allow 20% or larger for potential so that the city may require marijuana . >> >> affordable housing permitted on this site and as listed. >> thank you supervisor kim. pretty easy. supervisor wiener is there any remarks? all right. supervisor kim is there a motion? >> yes, i would like to make a motion to amend. >> all right. the motion to amends made by supervisor kim. seconded by supervisor cohen and without objection that motion passes. >> and i would like to make a motion to move both items to the full board with positive recommendation. >> absolutely and without objection that motion passes unanimously. >> thank you very much. >> madam clerk any other items before this body? >> that concludes the business. >> thank you ladies and

green space 24 is one of the places to grow things like the purple floor. it is sort of recognizing that the more diversity in given space the better not to just have one thing by everything supported each another >> it provides the community with an opportunity to get their hands dirty and reach 0 out and congressmen with the community in ways they might have not otherwise to engage with one other. >> now the dpw urban planning program so see how the garden community. >> so i grew up on a farm in air force base we picked the foods open the trees and share

to give something some basically to someone else. >> now serving number to 49 come on down. >> we have the capability of producing this food and in san francisco you can grow food all year round so the idea we're capable of prougdz food in our own backyards we're here to demonstrate an bans of food and i think that giving it away for free we show individuals it in have to be a comedy. >> we build time together and it's the strength of any ideas of the connections we'll turn that connection and the more connections you make no mistake about it the more you can have a stronger power and not have to

rely on money that's the people power. >> in this episode we've seen the urban farms and gardens provide more in fruits and vegetation people can have the special produce available it can be a place to give back by donating food to others and teach our children the connection to the earth and environment it's truly (clapping.) >> the meeting will come to order this is a meeting of govern and oversight committee are to my right is supervisor
