>> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good evening board of supervisors i'm going to say two or three things you've probably heard from a number of speakers ♪ room they bear repetition because it is important we be absolutely clear what you'll be doing in you vote to uphold this highly inadequate eir and override city policies in order to allow this budget to go forward the simple fact of the enabling height is a multi million dollars give away to the developer that will also raise property individuals in values that will fuel a wave of speculative investment and evictions as landlord are to cash in on the improvement of

the neighborhood on the transformation of the neighborhood and this will be solicited by the influx of highly paid tech workers that will be in the office space and it will lead to massive displacement among working-class primary immigrants primary filipino neighborhoods that will lead to for the third time the distribution of a working-class filipino for the third time in san francisco history what does that mean that neighborhood is being displaced for the third time they'll lose essential housing no onsite regional housing summit in the neighborhood 85 units is not worth talking about the affordability or of those unite are navigates o units are barrel affordable to the teachers not affordable to most teachers that

associate groups will be disrupted address nets that people use in employment disrupted and people will be away from their culture network and for seniors that is likely to prove facility is this what you want you'll have to please think about what is want you want to do some people on the board of supervisors may want to create a new community with the planning but i'd like to think the majority of this board of supervisors is on the side of the people of san francisco siemens corporation those that see the projection and vote to uphold the appeal thank you >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good evening board i'll make this quick a quick question in house how many of you are born and raised or living receipt you see how small that number is those are the

this project should not be approved the negative impacts are great the zoning and planning set a dangerous precedent for the city and negative effect our ability in san francisco we need community-based planning to have development without displacement there is currently a community alternative that has comparable that builds has a comparable housing you urge you to support that and not the 5m proposal thank >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hello i'm available to answer any questions you may have is arena a san francisco resident i'm filipino and i for most of my life undocumented i'm an art and educator i currently work at 3 different places all teaching gigs as a faculty at the college

to right an injustice an opportunity for you to undo the description we faced in the filipino community and this is also an opportunity to hear the existing communities that exist in the soma another opportunity to create an quilt development we need very, very careful community input there community members who believe that this project will benefit them but i'm very skeptical i wonder i wonder if the benefits will show up in 4 are 10 or 15 remembers why will we be around if we're already getting displaced at the current momentum is it beneficial for the community that's all i have to say. >> next speaker

>> i grew up in the soma and want to betsy the uc berkley and could have worked anywhere but back to the south of market and worked at a cologne person for low income youth and artist i've seen an amazing amount of chapping in the communicated and once again little developers are calling the shots there is 6 hundred luxury youth and no affordable housing on site one time community benefits payment in exchange for that the ongoing displacement evictions that will last for generalizations and this unprecedent of creating a special use district on top of pa family and youth zone and so when they say there is not any displacement it is coming from people that never experienced what is like to be displaced i was displaced in

1990 in u tom with my family our studio arts benefits studio was kicked out of our place and it took us 10 years to reclaim our space that is a traumatic experience for the third time my family accompany monday i'll be leaving the city any landlord raised any rent by 15 percent i've involved any my how late that about that when in their building up the space not driven by the community all we're asking for a 50 day continuance especially in the neighborhood the community that is historically displaced over and over and over again, thank you. >> thank you. next speaker.

i'm affordable housing i can't a resident for the so in soma i used to live on the borders between chinatown in a rent-controlled unit our building has two flats and one downstairs the landlord sold the building they evicted the neighbors and waited for the motto turn so socioso they moved into arch 3 bedroom flat and took the building off the market so basically senior against senior we've lived in the building for 23 years seeking represent from the san francisco tenants union and the rights committee after 3 years we got tired of fighting and move forward my grant went from a flat to senior home with no walking distance assessable to

their community a year later the building was up to sale for over one million dollars my family was split up and no longer had a community while my landlord was feeling it up in the st. francis neighborhood of multi million dollars homes i've moved 7 times and affording often and forced to move and my point is people with money whether say anything to get their way i see that 5 m is doing the same to the community in 5 m people united will not be sdpaeftd their strategy of buying support is how they've been preceding blind and sugar costa-hawkins affordable housing is considered senior abuse they know in the heart of the hearts they've not been able to afford the affordable housing because if it they tell him it the truth of

the matter thaip their family will get evicted atheism be on board and the city will use big words to make 2 sound they're doing something go back good for the community please don't allow 5 m to proceed san francisco heart and soul has left please help our community of what is left thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, good evening. i'm german a very honored to be here speaking on behalf of the workers in the south of market i identify as a worker in the south of market for more than a decade and been an honor to integrate with a lot of the people i see day to day that are struggling i'm here to in support of appeal and asking you all to do the same to please

around the project and which 0 could lead to displacement of our community so i know there is a lot of talk the avenue, i want probation officer give honor but who is it truly affordable for i know f there is a saying that is tossed around 40 is the new thirty what good is it if it is not assessable to the growing working-class and the growing low income population and the demolishing middle-income i don't qualify for the housing again, i urge you to please accept the appeal and allow for more time for people driven plan thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> how you guys doing i'm robert

build on comments to the eir that were filed by david john's we were extraordinarily active around the 80s our testimony on the eir specifically is the david testimony for the city to figure out what the housing needs were for office space what eventually was the official city position on transit and building affordable housing that led to the downtown plan, which is one of the things that is being amended by this plan after the downtown plan was passed i worked with people in chinatown just to go around the i hotel and people in chinatown people in the tenderloin, people in the central soma were very concerned about expansion that

they saw the potential expansion of office areas into their neighborhood they were all low income neighborhoods the entire area around downtown was and is low income except scattered newly high affordable housing none thought at the time, we would be moving montgomery street to fifth and howard when we dealt with the eastern neighborhoods area plan we didn't conceive this area being high income housing and high income offices so out thought that we got the youth and family zone it was a statement by little planning commission and the board of supervisors i have to remind you

filipino and low income people living in those areas and they need to be protected today it is all kind of wiped out because we have no redevelopment agency so we have this fantasy the planning commission can function and do a d-4-d you know the difference 24/7 a redevelopment agency they had staff and stated on top of things and looked at it did project in the context that the people were effected a bunch of you the board when there was a redevelopment agency this is not new development you have assuming the powers of the redevelopment agency and rezoning and not going to monitor a damn thing as people get displaced thank you.

>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> supervisors david osgood from rincon point my family came to soma in 1849 and lived there 25 years want to express support for the appeal and two minutes and 40 seconds left what to do oh, just kidding thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening supervisors my name is angelica i'm with the south of market community action network our appeal shows from the beginning the 5m project has the community platform we'll let you you know what the respective community looks like in the south of market please get the

overhead we put together our community vision on the 5m site with the community advisor in the south of market the soma action committee of the artist and working with an architect from the u.s. city the community is not against the development of the community in soma half of the city's new housing is located in the south of market other projects have respected the zoning why can't the 5 m a good example of that is, we actually work with the a gi on ninth and mission to look at as a right to build there and the developer showed us the different rendering of africa look like on site and actually let us look at the rendering and

we were able to click where the developer the affordable housing we want to see in the neighborhood the community has produced drawings that prove the city and the developer have mislead the public their claiming the special approvals are needed for the arranged unit and the community has product drawings this is not the case the site is for mixed use residential use and part of the youth and special youth district since 2008 just want to - our community vision provides 6 hundred plus units of housing so 6 hundred and 88 unit instead of telephone onsite bmr our community vision is for 50 percent onsite affordable 50 percent affordable is consistent with the city's housing balance policy this is not achieved by take advantage

of the fact that harvesting corporation as owned even though site for decades no compensation for the land and utilizing the tax go exempt bond financing our community has office space and other space we proposed 200 and 40 thousand square feet of office and move the office space off the family special use district instead of the 8 hundred thousand square feet of office proposed we have ground floor retail but we want to see neighborhoods starting businesses walk central soma the eateries this keeps the buildings for community arts and space we were holy hoping we would take advantage to work with the 5 m. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> no other members of the public would any other members of the public like to provide

public comment testimony seeing none, public comment is closed and we will move on with our hearing ma'am, you've already comments on this item at this point we will move for our presentation from our city departments and you'll have up to 15 minutes total. >> good evening supervisors john ram with the planning department i'll make a few opening comments and staff to address the specifics of the appealed on the projects nonresponsive you i want you to see my remarks from the context of the appeals of the conditional use applications on this project that is essentially the approval the project itself i'd like to make 3 points will the project recognizing the strong feelings of the room and recognizing the concern of changing the zoning for the site first make that the public

benefits accrued will not be possible under current zoning it will not allow us because of prop c limiting the housing and the non-restricted avenue and other benefits on the site and secondly, the site is a site we believe has already been c-3 as the downtown plan was adopted and it is a site that is within a block of bart and muni station and it is, of course, in close proximity to the scoping this is a high density mixed use development it is the item before you you before today and i'll point out the site on the western edge of the high-rise district a number of reasons because of the affordable units and the historic buildings to the west of the site it is upcoming likely that the high-rise district will continue to the west and thirdly, i want

to talk about the plan and why from a conditional use we believe that meets the standard for the necessary and desirable the rezoning of the site and the density have allowed us to history it to the eastern side allowing the open space on the western side of the site several benefits it allows us to cluster the open space in a large grouping and allows this between the development and the rest of the soma neighborhood that provides a space that the entire neighborhoods use and provides that in a location 3 the least shadow because of orientation of the site we believe with the conditional use should be upheld and i'm going to turn it over to staff to talk about of specifics of the appeal thank you very

much. >> thank you director ram and good evening supervisor president london breed and members of the board from the planning department before we address the particular issues raised bye bye the appellant i would like to you touch briefly on a key feature of the public so we have a robust package here i think in particular respect to the housing 3 components just to make sure we understand what we're going to do ouch mission street this is a piece of land this was dedicated along with $12 million to constrict 83 senior affordable housing units 50 percent of an end to the means, and, secondly, the tndc side on this trairt will have $18 million for 71 ami raiveng

from 25 to 50 percent finally and on site affordable and reevicted housing in the project site 87 rental units at the 21 and 50 percent of medium income that is clear and my understanding over the course of the project with respect to the issues raised by the appellant we did submit our written response on the 5th of november without painstakingly detailed a couple of issues the appellant undertaking claims that the project is incomparable and will oblas rats the south of market special use district and supervisors the 740 paralyze in the sud sorry in the project in the family sud it is important to said what that sud does it

does first, the height and level of for a minute with respect to the parcels, and, secondly, that requires the confusion from the planning commission for a handful of uses counter to the family and youth environment i want to make clear the 5m project has so you get those conditional uses and it has provided affordability beyond that is required in the sud and just to be clear on kind of an bureaucratic points the conditional use authorizations that are on appeal together, and, secondly, supervisors the appellant say the open space in the project is not well considered and not considered we the community address not adequately there are about rather is about an acres pub assessable open space on the site and analyzed to review sdpeven this project is with the

city it's been discussed at great length with public hearing this will be memorialized through other approval documents and binding this sponsor to provide that space really in brief it is plentiful that is use full and locked in and thirdly, we're getting to the end with the colleagues the appellant suggested the project is in the filipino community and the community adoption of the filipino culture heritage district the supervisors will restate some of the facts no affordable units in the property today in and the project will displace none once more at the r request of the planning commissioners we had a study of the project of the affordable units within a quarter of a mile within the

project site and 90 percent are subject to some level of protection i do also want to remark with respect f to the filipino culture district the da has been modified with supervisor kim to require the payment of $300,000 to use to study the integral and essentials to go adopt the filipino cultural district so by not approving the project we'll place that but we need to find alternative sources lastly the appellant says that provides insufficient housing and the remarks i opened with 40 percent of unit in this project that are subject to income restrictions and 5 m will be the first private project to steady the standards the 33 standards of

prop k higher than the 12 and 20 for the bmr's and would steady the 17 and 27 percent standards for the youth and family st. jude sud it takes multiply income and the official project is a good deal for the city with that, supervisors i'm going to turn it over to michael thank you for your time. >> good evening supervisors michael environmental planning department staff ami i'd like to address the points on the appeal and state it is the departments position that the environmental analysis complies with the states guidelines in chapter three 1 of the administrative code before i get into the specific points i'd like to addresses i'd like to reiterate that the standards here for the appeal of the eir is to provide

substantial evidences the commission's findings of the document being accurate and adequate and complete is somehow not true or appropriate the disagreement with the eir conclusion so objection to certain preferences for the alternative is not considered in the environmental analysis and not a basis for an appeal with a reerlg felt parklet to certify today is 16 page letter focuses on the development agreement the planning issues and reiterates the tops and the shadow that has been added addressed in our response 0 to board and in submittal of the november 6th letter. >> like to briefly touch the issues to demonstrate why the

analysis is sufficient and the appellants appeal is inadequate the allegation the eir description lacks 19 it's characterization of the project and the allegation is not supported by the draft eir subscribes a variance with a great amount of housing and a greater than amount of office space it is okay under ceqa the project is sufficient for the impacts because that includes adequate information about the density of the location and resulting in the urban form the response of comments documents that changes the documents project in the impacts of the proposal ceqa compels the scombakz are feasible and the

ways to mitigate or change the project in ways to avoid effects the proposal the item before you does that changes the dir and the documents and the respond to comments no new information is available to change it more has the project sponsor said anything that lessons the effects it is the disclosure of the revised project explicit warrant anything the drs is sufficient and supervisors this is a desire by some in the community to find an alternative the rank of alternatives is reasonable for the impacts in relation to the impacts and the code compliant was developed by the staff not by the members of the community and the community development alternative
