8:12 pm
i'll appreciate it makes my workload easier. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. for a number of years many members of the public and people from all walks of life have requested land dedication to allow the possibility of affordable housing to be built on those sites and i think that we heard a couple projects with land decades and been told when the equivalent in terms of the affordable units that can be built on this dedicated land that would be great to have a formula before us we knew when there was a land dedication and how many units i know all circumstances are different from project by project but go to establish that for us to make our decisions on items and have
8:13 pm
a more concrete basis for your decisions. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to department maeshts item 7 director's announcements and 3 brought to your attention we're working on with the california coastal commission on the update to the coastal program the part of our jurisdiction that is the western shoreline of city in that regard we're going to have an open house i'll send this out for the public benefits and april 19th from 5:30 so 8:30 at the zoo to look at the coast and invite you it will reflect the work done in the last couple of years on the ocean beach master plan for the city

8:16 pm
folks input one person asked a question out of a hundred we've moved to a format we braengd e baektd in smaller groups the criticism question recently received is exactly the opposite we should allow a large public format i want to mention every meeting should not be the same format but be looking at the technologies, if you will, for our public hearings to max, however, we can and roanoke, virginia that some types of meeting and projects require different types of format so we're fully enclosing those we're not taking lightly but considering the techniques for the public that concludes my presentation. >> commissioner moore. >> director rahaim in our director's report i saw a mention of every tree can you

8:27 pm
additions or facade retention for large development projects but the commission has asked us to prepare a contextual issues the project sponsor should consider when proposing a project that involves either retention of a facade era very large edition to a small-scale structure that item will likely - that confusion will be continued or picked up again probably early summer once the department has compiled that list of factors and i'll be happy to to share that with you that concludes my remarks unless you have my questions thank you. >> commissioner vice president richards and have one question awful all over the world i've scenery attention one one hundred feet it was like pasted

8:36 pm
the supervisors district and planning department districts this slide shows the balances for the board of supervisors district and this brings us from negative 200 and one to district 4 to 44 percent in district 4 the negative balances are due to the large numbers of housing units from protected status relative to the net new affordable units built the next new housing units built overall this slide shows the districts 4, 6, 9 and 10 positive housing balances while the rest are negative balances this next slide shows the distribution by the planning department district they're afraid consistent with the boundary see used the housing

8:42 pm
wanted to come and provide an update on the process towards the mayors affordable housing as you may know the mayor committed to bringing 10 thousand now rehabilitated affordable units on line by 2020 this chart shows in 2014-20158 thousand units plus completed market-rate and affordable this includes new market-rate units as completed and ready to be occupied as well as units that are acquired and rehabbed often the affordable side and new units in our office we finance monitor and facilitate the inclusionary housing this is our previous i'll point to a number. >> could you enlarge that a
8:43 pm
little bit so we can read it from here please. i'll try. >> thank you. >> that's good. >> that's good. >> see okay so acquisition rehab this category xhusdz units with brought cerebropermanently protected staff like the small units as well as rehabilitated unit that got significant investment to extend they're afraid lifespan since january of 2014 we completed one thousand plus acquisitions or rehab that's the combined category the new construction affordable category that is self-explanatory those are newly constructed permanently affordable units computed pubically funded units and inclusionary housing provide by
8:44 pm
provider to satisfy the requirements as 2014 with we've completed 2 thousand plus apples and oranges affordable units in total completed over 3 thousand acquisitions with new construction approximately 31 percent of 10 thousand goals i'll come back and continue to update you on the process i want to highlight this number is different than the housing balance part of this difference comes from number one we are not tracking in this total calculation anything has to do with with the loss of our rent-controlled unit under eric or omi - this number fluctuate we're relying on dbi to let us
8:45 pm
know when the orchestwork is do be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you ms. hayward opening it up for public comment. >> hi my name is spike i live in the mission since 1984 we are talking about housing units as you may know we've lost 8 thousand latino from the mission the last decade and between the ellis act eviction and the production of more and more luxury housing our situation worse and worse and worse we met that local 261 and came out against this beast for not
8:46 pm
including inclusionary housing that not meets the needs of community i have here to distribute not a response to the building trade continued resistance to have you guys approve more and more of those luxury condos without sorry the majority of affordable housing built to satisfactory the loss due to the nauks i think we're at 8 percent built in the mission and possibly less so at the low telephohose are m affordable units the land dedication and the in lui fees are not building we've waited over a decade and only now are
8:47 pm
we seeing some of it the vetting to project is there and still another two or three years out i'm asking you to who are supposed to be planning the force of our city what will that take to stop a project if it didn't give you another affordable to reverse this trend of gentrifying the mission and losing the latinos and the working class folks it is on you guys we've been here begging you've got to know how to feels unless you change our approvals one after another after another reasonable requests the nct district or the umu you look at before you grandfather them if beer in a crisis step up and protect us this is what the
8:48 pm
government is supposed to do protect the underdog. >> like spike i live in district 9 the numbers on the chart of planning department staff has a role i've been talking about projects the mission to the planning approving them and figuring out the amount of security in any into a review of that project is appalling planners are looking at project that require the removal of all tenant in a 6 unit building and not asking questions there's one i filed a dr i said
8:49 pm
there will be tenants removed my concern they're not looking at plans at the level you deserve that i deserve this is a a that the public deserves i read all the 311 in reading that i look for can this be built without removal of the population there and there is increasing an answer of no and why is the planning department staff not using the same analysis i'm not commissioner meidel kidnapping kidding you you've been paying attention to fulsome between 23 and 26 and uniformly everything is crossing my desk requires removal of a housing and tenants that are there and see it comes soon has a 311
8:50 pm
or 312 notice we have to be the bad guys i'm painted as a bad guy i've filed drs your questioning what we've done why do i need to question that is being done why with the planning department you guys right there why are you not raising those questions there should be instructions through the leaders that every plan they look at especially you guys have - district 9 a one and district 5 and district 10 whenever and district 8 whenever you see plans coming through for an upgrade expansion, extra units
8:51 pm
extra units we go to eliminate 6 units of rent-controlled units tenants that have been there a long time this is not fair you d you doesn't instruct the staff to do that i hope i will see some instructions to staff to do a competent job not a better job a competent job. >> good afternoon, commissioners period of time cohen council housing for the third time i want to give kudos for the staff hard work with the laborious but frankly a year and a half ago we had the board adopt this to isn't it true lists the first year is the heaviest lift in changing the methodology, etc. so it is go
8:52 pm
back but the punch line t be lost on you in july of last year the first housing balancing report the housing balance was 16 percent in september hoosiers balance report two it was at or near percent and housing balance 3 was tharn percent a trendline fairly consistent interestingly enough i think your staff didn't mix-and-match i talked earlier with the staff 8 percent is low i don't think you should punish yourselves the acquisitions projects by the existing should be counting the balance that's why i come up with 13 to e 16 we have a serious housing balance
8:53 pm
problem that is interesting to hear the mayor's office want to throw different numbers part of that the attempt to focus on production because the loss of housing and the loss of affordability is a distraction it is real that's why the housing balance is calculated you should the way it is but looking at production your report showing 25 percent production from affordable to market-rate 25 percent less than half of the housing element goal half of the prop k and doesn't touch the mayors goal of thirty i want to remind you the housing balance shows 28 percent your drooping going down by eliminating the displacement and lastly when it comes to solutions i know we'll have a hearing at the board for the just how much money to build our
8:54 pm
what about out two sides of coin more funding for the increase of housing production and developers as spike said step up to do more in terms of public resources but thirdly, to stop the speculation in the last of affordable housing it is incredible for every three or four units that is produced we lose 3 in terms of the affordability if so almost like spinning in place a 3gd your job a cut out is there any additional public comment? >> thank you to the staffer for a good job but sub transacting the units lost for
8:55 pm
rent-controlled unit rent-controlled units are not necessarily affordable they're afraid set at market-rate and could be expensive i don't think that is a good matrix to do a much better way to use the factors you've factored in adding the various units together toward affordable housing and subtract those units that are loss by mergers and decisions, by conversion to non-use but not 13wu7b9 those from rent control to non-rent-controlled units there are situations a unit is still a housing unit and could be affordable if a number of renters get together and purchase a building thought tic
8:56 pm
process and convert those into individual condominiums they've provided housing that is affordable forever because they own it and the costs are based on they're afraid mortgage that is affordable housing it is a misnomer to see is that so i think this is a big thing i he was noticing the category by supervisorial district a deceptive it is better by the planning district but low especially using the technique of substantially but rent-controlled units those district have few unit built both market-rate and affordable are showing the big negatives they're afraid units that were looementsd for a variety of removing rent-controlled or whatever you see the balance
8:57 pm
better in district that are a lot of unit built and that does have merit to it as you may know one of the ways it produce affordable units to build market rate housing with the inclusionary situation the more we build more understanding we'll end up with to be married to percentages is no the best idea that's been mandated by both the voters and by the mayor's office so we certainly should try to produce as much affordable housing as what we can may not be meeting the extreme percentages that are called for i appreciate the system but i think we need to do it a little bit definitely because some of the units are lost because of conversion are revolt not in our
8:58 pm
control has to do with with state laws and we can only try to improve as much housing that is affordable doing everything we can and it is another arena we end up with a situation units are lost for ellis act evictions and others reasons for this. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> a couple of questions there's an awful lost data thank you for putting this together i guess the question i have i know there are 4 caps in here nobody wants to go out on a limb over a tree just kind of as from aside in this question looked at the projects that don't have the building permits and plus the
8:59 pm
increase in fees that question talked about last week plus the money paid in lui divided by the number of units i'm trying to understand urmdz towards this thirty percent a soft forecast are we treading water and a little bit more if we have a directional idea you need to add them up. >> figure it out. >> at this point we don't have all the full information we don't know onsite, offsite so either we make something up by estimating. >> so the best i think is adrc information about how many are pending and how much it could
9:00 pm
affordable units it can generates the projected balance is soft. >> is a soft projection if you might want you could use the current rates of onsite affordable versus paying in lui history whatever the percentage again draw some assumptions again, a they're afraid assumptions not hard and fast predictions but what probably will happen. >> but, eastbound experiment and for a number of projects that already have permits some of them might have opted out four offsite and for in lui fees we're not accounting for that we need approval for that. >> that's our margin for error and margin for error it is feeling for task if there is any
9:01 pm
way it could be at least attempted i think it will be informative and what ms. hester brought up for scrutiny. >> i review all projects that is one thing for a project to come the door and propose but us to take to forward for approval just to be clear we're very careful scrutinizing any items. >> to commissioner antonini's point definitely an different between a bmr a stabilized units at a certain percent of ami a difference between that a
9:02 pm
stabilized units up to the market-rate for a person stays in place again, a question that raises for me is there a way had conversions are daughter-in-law and the unit is implemented e completed and taken off the market is there any data the percent of market-rate at the time that will be helpful you know, i read about a nurse that was in the mission she wanted to get her retirement and went to sacramento just to get the last year's of retirement she's miserable and or the person that reluctance moved here and the rent-controlled units are paying market-rate and they can't afford a house i don't know if we are logan manifesting rent-controlled unit it will
9:03 pm
certainly be cheaper or truly someone that is there for 10 or 20 or thirty years and can't afford to pay market-rate the last question around demolition i look at the number of decisions over the years it is sobering there are 5 hundred and 5 decisions that protect the status units i'm assuming most of those units were back in the decade 2005, 2006 we have placement are around scrutiny and we approved for the supervisors i think they're amending or it is coming for the crusoe that number will taper off. >> it was probably a big project last week trinity we replaced auto the rent-controlled units. >> oh, so this would be added
9:04 pm
back in so i'll put a star and say question lost some but gains some. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner wu i had a similar line of questioning so i've is it true we see all decisions proposed within the legislation or some other avenue. >> with the promoted legislation the only decisions that result from the dbi are those administrative review the proposed is legislation they added back the provisions for the building is unsound a single-family dwelling in rh1 or for administrative review otherwise all others decisions will be coming to the commission. >> thank you so hopefully, we'll see that number
9:05 pm
accompanied in subsequent years in looking at table 6 the focus on stabilized housing is important seeing the number we've seen an uptick this is by year we see that omi is the biggest rebate units are - this tells us about the legislation where it should go or what we can do i wanted to ask the colleague about this chart the projects or the projected one saying a there's 15 percent is that looking towards the future and that is just based on what we know at this point didn't include projects that would opt out opt for one sites that is
9:06 pm
based on some projects 100 percent affordability or the pardons knowing ahead what they're afraid opt for doesn't include the whole universe of affordable housing. >> okay. this is production focused; right? and didn't have loss. >> doesn't include what would be taking out in the housing balance calculation basically the loss of units removed from rental protection. >> i think that is pretty stark for me 15 percent the pipeline is affordable but we haven't added them and the calculations around what is lost; right? so then it seems
9:07 pm
like we're set up in a tough battlefield; right? we have only the 15 percent and taking away from that i don't know where that leads us we need to new rules about what we can do in terms of the reminders for production. >> commissioner hillis. >> so thank you, again, for this a note on the i do think i mean, i focus on production i know we get medicine he would in the production of the lost units that raises other policy issues that sometime we see have the purview to engage in it is omi is an interesting case we're not removed from protective status someone lost they're afraid rent-controlled unit it is still
9:08 pm
a rent-controlled unit you can't lift that it was leased or rented it is still protected under omi those numbers are good to report policy implications but sometimes that gets confusing lunging them in as lost units a buy out is a lost units that person in a rent-controlled units someone that moves away they could be paying low amounts and they're afraid rents could there we're getting two precise i think those numbers good to report but i like to focus on production i think it is important and policies have come out of this looking at this such interesting the inclusionary percentage we'll bring up the percentage of affordable units on the other side the 100 percent affordable
9:09 pm
units the question for ms. hayward did moe and the city have enough funding to produce at the levels we're seeing and we get reports from time to time how much fufrndz the trust fund or whatever pledged to certain are we keeping pace on the amounts of funning to continue to build affordable units market cool off or go down are we preparing we can buy the land potentially at cheaper rates when the markets not as hot so what's the forecast for housing and sometimes we're faced with the question someone want 20s see out instead of onsite that
9:10 pm
would be helpful where moe is at in funding. >> i'll try any best to answer we have a pipeline of upcoming projects we've identified funding we could have more projects if we had more funding and have more units if we had lower land costs certainly so we - because the affordable housing go bond pays for the first time we're able to issue a notice of funding that's an exciting moment we get new projects brought to us we have been issuing rfps for projects once the financing is in place to moving forward with more money we can have more
9:11 pm
projects and certainly a huge driver of the pace is the cost the totals development costs and the lower we get the lands prices the more units. >> when you issue an nov you're looking at for developers to acquire lands and respond to you. >> the first nov will be to issue predevelopment funds. >> what are you seeing those days as cost per lands. >> i'll have to get back to i have an incorrect estimate. >> is that i mean we're seeing increases. >> i have a question for ms. hayward your report as very good you gave us a figure of 83 this
9:12 pm
is 2014, 83 hundreds total units built during that period of time that constituent market and if i did my math 3 thousand plus units that were the two categories of the affordable rehabbed, 8 hundred i were the two i think my math that's 35 percent of affordable units and 8 thousand were tilt built that's a more meaningful figure 2457b the rest of the report approved maybe going to get built may not get built; is that correct. >> it is correct but i want to be fair i'm presenting a report that measures one they know and one thing only that is unit that we are completed or acquired and
9:13 pm
brought into protected status what it does show for example, are large and impactful on the market-rate or the affordable side that are stipulated a big milestone that captures this report didn't i don't think one report can present all figures but this is actually what is available. people to occupy on the other hand, and figure not captured by the housing balance but i think is important which is when a project does not provides the units onsite or offsite we produce the piece last night down the road so the longer the housing balance report is published it will be recorded
9:14 pm
regularly that affordable components about capture once the units are entitled or developed >> yeah. he was - that was my second point i agree our report only measures one thing but it is a done deal a good concrete number that you can hang you are hat on we have market-rate projects that get you approved and don't get built or built for years and others projects don't get built for lack of funding so it is an indicator but until they're built and occupied they'll be that there i think that is encouraging of the ones actually built and opted out during that year a any higher percentage so that as point we have to take away and the other thing every single project we have come up there seems an
9:15 pm
outcry for units to be affordable units built onsite that does benefit those people those few people the 12 percent or somewhat higher-up to 18 or 25 percent it is a fairly small number of people relative to 100 percent can be built at a site in the same neighborhood or somewhere else nearby the city i have the indication a lot of times when projects are approved more affordable housing but not enough money in the mayor's office of housing to build build it i think a strong case can be made beating up on the luxurious building that provide a difficult situation for those residents who are living in the inclusionary because of the hoa
9:16 pm
problems or anothers kinds of problems they run into a huge amounts can be used for the affordable housing it is something we have to look at in the future and pay attention. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> i guess before i walk away from the section the entire confusion it provides smoke to smell smoke rights he'll try to face-to-face find out where the fire it in terms of the production and stabilization this department and commission can really i think we have a lot of control in our entitlement process and the time to get entitlement and fees wrapped up in a big red bow on production that is our purview on the stabilization we really don't have a lot of purview we can do
9:17 pm
acquisitions with the mayor's office of housing mayor's office and the bonds and things like that on the prevalent loss some purview on illegal conversion and things like that we have to de facto evictions but not doing that, etc. to the directors many, many, many times he's stressed not just a zebra but a legislative covering those areas it has to add up i want to remind it is a directional not on the dot. >> schoer and i appreciate the work being done joins those information competing for attention the fact we did indeed start a year and a half that is - are we in a difficult situation yes, it is wooshth
9:18 pm
noting what mr. cohen said the balance net total there is a decline what we do speaking about it no but be having any lengths and accept the fact it is a monitoring tool not a tool that affords us to do one thing or another but cognizant felt issues and sometimes, we have a choices to be part of problem and sometimes a part of solution depending on how you look at it i'm not pga judgment i like the idea of balancing this this is a tool to action and there is another balance that is carefully needed to be looked at i'm grateful there is an active way of tracking the mayor's office that is a level with money that needs to be spent
9:19 pm
wisely and in focusing how they do it they're effectiveness is worst noting in the bigger picture give me the trends of apparently one builds and one loose there is a big drop in the bucket but not on its own solving the problem i see it a general state of the city address i'm happy and proud we're don't go it the way we do we haven't found the ultimate solution i wish the director would report on the national subject and hope there will be intelligence simplifier and we can understand that all day long yesterday implemented part of what we dried tried to do last year can you comment on that director rahaim. >> i don't fully understand
9:20 pm
the oakland proposal they're looking at inclusions and different ways of dealing with affordable housing i don't know the details. >> it would be worth tracking that and see how we can look at when we decided against it last year. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> one question maybe for staff if i have a rent-controlled unit and depressed from the market and left it vacant for 4 or 10 years and rerent it operationally is it subject to rent control but the fact it is leased a. >> it is subject to rent control. >> subject to rent control interesting. >> to mr. collins point on speculation it is like and hydra there are two people moving into units they want to live and
9:21 pm
probably people gaming the system the issue there is no follow-up i keep on i had zircon with my niece and a sister-in-law and we have no idea iowa's what happened to that unit it would be airbnb and lack of follow-up legislatively what can we do common sense we're doing it with the parking spaces that sarah jones proposed and monitored truly the spaces are there and that the migration measures are in place place. >> i wish the rent board we're here they'll been the board of
9:22 pm
supervisors hearing but just for clarification the numbers that were used in - were eviction notices that is the data that we are able to get from the rent board. evictions we don't know how many evictions occur aside from evictions notices or if the eviction notices are carried out one thing for sure if it is ericed out it is removed from the market and converted into condos and if they're afraid dooshdz they're removed from the rental market the omis are different the owners can move in and if at the move out and rent
9:23 pm
again, the problem we don't know the rent board didn't track once it is removed from the rental market and therefore technically it effects the supply of the rental market we could bring it up and arrange >> if there's a requirement for an omi a person has to live there for a certain amount of time at least director rahaim. >> thanks i wanted to take a moment to go thank teresa it is the nature of this particular report and the way the legislation reads makes it quite detailed and quite laborious to run the numbers it takes a lot of time and she personally ran there this to the second .1 of
9:24 pm
the cautioned i'm have is looking at a report every 6 months and seeing that as a trend the trend is really over will multi years but the time because of seismic cycles we're in i think that one or two projects have a huge impact on the actual number whereas it you look it over a longer period of time have a better sense of the actual trend i'll caution us to think about this in a long term how we build housing. >> thank you commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i think in the same sense we look at those percentages which are umu and important and some legislative mandatory there is a difference between displaced and need as commissioners and elected
9:25 pm
officials and postponed officials 53 we have to be cognizant of the demands and satisfy the needs the demands is 100 percent for market-rate and for sale and it is the diagram metric opposed to the early 50s 60s the rents were although it was a place where people migrated it was affordable and relatively cheap to on the parts of country new the displaced is innovate going away i mean, i think even though we may blt build a high percentage of rent-controlled housing we satisfy the demands and fewer people will conservative they are existing housing because of superior resources we realized last year and had studies that support this whole thing you can
9:26 pm
actually control some displacement by producing enough housing to meet some of the demands and lessen the amount of pressure so i think that is great we do build a higher percentage of affordable housing but of the percentage is low if gross numbers of affordable housing are higher than the rent-controlled housing we'll address the problem. >> commissioner wu. >> i also want to thank terry and make the plug we try to remember we ask for more staff. >> commissioner vice president richards. >> one last thought i guess to commissioner antonini's point we alm i'll recall 11998 valencia the gas station for every units we build it is possibly one less the neighborhood being part of
9:27 pm
this discussion with that said, if an omi is caused by a below-market-rate housing and displaces a person that is the lower income bracket a double negative not only is that person gone but they created on the nexus study the .34.4 those are omis they're generating more bmr units as well not shattered us. >> okay. that concluded that item very good under our general public comment not to exceed 15 minutes at this time, 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

9:29 pm
of housing and the e violation by the residential unit we need to get people off the street into a navigation center and into affordable housing the housing is so acute the homelessness is spilling into our functioning workforce in san francisco and because of stigma associated with the label of homelessness they remain in a closet about the residential situation with they're afraid alternative so crash at they're afraid office or they're afraid friends living room couches using the office mailing address to receive they're afraid mail or a p.o. box in seattle a homeless solution that is cost effective enabling a place to rest in a tin yes home village the lots throughout the neighborhoods of the city each home costs $2,200

9:35 pm
and third my colleague laura will provide a look at code enforcement and we're joined by chris enforcement manager in the department we have the slides great in 2014 steve was here giving a presentation guess what, an overall pdr are the economy in the interest of time we're not rejudicatory that is on the - what the uses what pay next pdr is necessary to the support the local economy not only for the jobs and diversity it provides but provides essential services for example, you can't offshore to the delivery and pdr provides
9:36 pm
high relative pay people without a college degree pdr pays double and pdr are certain pdrs uses conflict with housing due to the needs of trucking and noise and other characterizations that characterize are pdr generally i'm paralleling the local economy patrolling the repair of the structure with the economy people need deliveries and chair rehold and so forth the export manufacturing part of economy is actually doing quite well but decoupled with the local economy and pleased to show that is doing well and most the local
9:37 pm
manufactures have increased sf made there are companies with sf made zero in 2010 and now over 6 hundred companies pdr space also has a low unhealthy vacancy rate and the pdr rents are up over a quarter to open average of $1.40 percent square feet and steve was here two years ago that was a little bit over a dollar. >> so what have we done to support pdr as a city the terrors it operationally is we created pdr district in 2014 the eastern neighborhoods plan and rezoning the bayview now pdr protection district we're pdr businesses can locate without
9:38 pm
displacements and housing uses and without this move none of the policies streams would be meaningful the city supported the creation of new pdrs through legislation that the commission and the board adopted in 2014 that allowed new office used for the pdr uses and we've had one federal project on hoper that will build new pdr next formulation we have a study for abag they undertake a pdr study and agreed to do that blishg is leading that study hopefully published and result in the creation of priority streamline areas a priority development areas and conservation areas we'll see and as you know we're
9:39 pm
undertaking the no pdr loss you'll hear about that the coming months and in 2014 supervisor cowen supported legislation that changed the rules in pdr district to limit the pdrs buildings to hopefully convert large amounts of pdr space limitation on that and next enforcement we've done a lot of enforcement you'll hear about and lastly you are office of economic workforce development is engaged in technical and logical if assisting in real estate and providing pdr jobs and training and making a loan and legal assistance and susan oewd full-time staff is here to answer questions moving to the eastern neighborhoods it's been seven years since the city adopted the
9:40 pm
eefrments with east sill ma and others we'll coming back coming back o come back with the eastern neighborhoods report that facilitates a comprehensive report about this and others issues the eastern neighborhoods but we have advanced did pdr so bring in early numbers moving on to the actual numbers based on new analysis we've done we now have included that the adopted plans as the commission and board adopted ♪ 2030 the plans adopted we believe will lead to the loss of approxely 3 and a half millions square feet this number is different it was not adopted exactly like between the brackets of what was analyzed we
9:41 pm
recreated where the plan is adopt and he can go into more detail how we calculated that what has happened since the adoption of the eastern neighborhoods there has been definitely have lost 1.1 million square feet of pdrs space by building construction the commission has entitled the projects that would lead to another 4 hundred square feet of pdrs loss and then in terms of what is in the pipeline is monuments to one half million square feet of pdrs space again those are projects not come into purview if you add that up based on everything that happened to debate in the poem for essential decrease of millions of square feet of pdrs space that is a
9:42 pm
breakdown of neighborhoods a nuance look at the data it is a lot to digest but to sum by neighborhoods you'll see pretty much in every eastern neighborhood we still foreseeable lost less than overall the square footage anticipated we're happy to go through other data as you wish and i turn this over to laura >> good afternoon commissioners today, i'm here to presents the enforcement with regards to lose of pdrs and illegal office sxheergs previously we've he received a handful of complaints regardings tactics you, however, in 2015 received one and 8 complaints as of january 2016 we've received over 20 o these loss of pdr is also have
9:43 pm
industrial and large warehouses and are primarily converted to office space but to residential use and retail it should be noted those office conversion are illegal out of pdrs zoning district and are found in commercial district as well as residential units here's a map outlining the complaints since 2015 the complaints are bound in orange they're primarily locate the pdrs sdoenlz and additional an moratorium one the soma the out liars are the illegal office conversion found in commercial districts here's an overview with regards
9:44 pm
to all enforcements complaints what about filed from the information counter transfers from another city departments like the deducting and dbi, we receive phone calls and e-mails and letters and oftentimes those are anonymous we're responsible inform investigating and a planner is assigned individually the first set up a notice of complaint a occurscyice let me eliciting them know a notice is filed and encourage them to contact the planner and work with the pertaining to abate once a violation pierces to be confirmed a notice of enforcement sent to 9 property owner alleging the violations of the problem the property owner
9:45 pm
has 1 days to contact the department and the property owner didn't respond or not boyd the violation in a timely matter a notice of violation is sent out with a fine and that's appealable to the zoning administrator and the board of appeals. >> so the reason why - enforcement cases with unique compared to the vast majority we've received they take a lot of time and land use - we are required to let the building permits history what the assessors oversees office listed the property to identify the authorized use of property and additionally they know past illegaltion they may not have think outside the box convert and don't take advantage the
9:46 pm
eastern neighborhoods policy that expired in 2013 as the presentation mentioned pdr is out of a lower rate compared to office property owners are necessarily willing to come to compliance quickly and they will hire taser to abate the violation lastly businesses any vacant if found to be illegal we must work with the pertaining to allow the tenants to find a new pdr tenants for the property all patterns we've seen this past year we didn't receive the complaints we've seen that some claims are filed regarding tasered properties those properties are encourage occupied by a tenants but
9:47 pm
advertise our flexible spaces and offered as an office space we'll contact the property owner and the booker and educate them to talk about what the pdr are appropriate for the property and if they lease it as an office tenants they'll be renewable for the enforcement process complaints with a tenant we typically do a site visit and have also have pdrs complaints with converted to open space office space and they succeed the accessory use of the property for office. >> lastly as technology advances we've seen high reflex businesses that don't fall into the planning code and this is prototyping and we'll request the business owner explain
9:48 pm
exactly what the business is and combha portion of the property is use for a traditional - it qualifies as a pdrs use if not what to do to qualify we've seen a few qualify as pdrs the way we've seen the reason for the office converged occurring the building owner or agent is responsible for filing out the building permit application we've seen a number of permits showing the proposed uses office those are interior tenants improvements we've noticed that most of the properties are industrial by he did assessors oversees office they didn't constitute a change of use and therefore doesn't pay
9:49 pm
the fees or abide by the previous regulation at the time of conversion so in seeing that there was a gap in route to planning we worked with the department of building inspection to figure out a solution i was able to shadow the department of building inspection routing cultures on a couple of occasions this helps both dbi and planning understand the complaint criteria and fought what a solution will be once the solution was identified we worked with it to add additional flags to dbi entrepreneurial tracking system we didn't want to overwhelm the management division we limited the scope of the criteria to primarily just the pdrs zoning district and buildings within those districts that are lists
9:50 pm
and industrial by patio the assessor oversees office now they're afraid routed to planning department staff this is a piloted program we didn't want to overwhelm the staff so capitalized this and working with dbi regularly to apply this. >> and here we go and memo from planning to dbi explaining the routing criteria and to help dbi to explain to the clients they're in routing - here's an example the flag internal tracking system and worked with the mayor's office of economic workforce development as previously mentioned as i mention earlier we receive complaint related to properties cul-de-sack advertised so seeing that as a possibility as a
9:51 pm
teaching moment we present on behalf of the planning department out of real estate presentation this is a volunteery presentation to help to explain foot's brokers what is available to utility prior to leasing a property that presentation outlines our enforcement process and we mentioned how we've seen a trends of more complaints time to work to avoid those in the future additionally the mayor's office worked with us to see if they need a file a letter of determination or something we can resolve prior to the tenants mini and want to be a transparency to the public as possible added a flag on the precipitate information map that is basically is for all pdr zones and notifies the pertain
9:52 pm
and the public this is intended for industrial use and may need additional review by planning since this is added i've received calls from brokers and potential property owners or exist property owners what they put into a space that's it thank you. >> thank you opening it up for public comm t comment. >> hi so i'm looking at all the data and i released you haven't counted any of the loss of pdr space i live on you don't cark streets
9:53 pm
loft composed not with only used for pdr use it is all luxury condo i live there i know it is from 5 hundred square feet so 14 or 15 hundred square feet between seven hundred thousand and one and a half million dollars again not one artist anywhere or pdr use in all your facts you've missed that type of stuff you've missed the illegal uses of housing and residential in all the loft luxury condos built throughout the eastern
9:54 pm
neighborhoods and additionally, we have huge moumentsz of losses of pdr on bryant nun is replaced the he will /* i- as we know the pdrs is illegal the baby beast think 19th street that has 11 square feet of pdr that same factory of building - it has about 35 jobs of guys that are working making furniture the gather started did business york his son and grandson are working with 35 other workers this is in front of you soon for 68 feet of luxury condos and the intent
9:55 pm
task mess on 151 south van ness 34 thousand square feet plus of pdr that i'm waiting for you to say your farther saying love the development move forward again guys do the right thing you talk about they're being these pdr prechl neighborhoods not where the pdr was the mission i don't know where the neighborhood and protecting not doing a good job now. >> good afternoon, commissioners mary speaking as a concerned citizen i've been here a few times and basically, he want to say i believe the count is not accurate of loft we have
9:56 pm
a huge in file office conversions not counted i found out one on halves and 19th street is an office that should have been a pdrs but indians the list people are huge numbers of parking spaces they're afraid renting all over the neighborhood why would lyft need to relent parking spaces they're afraid supposed to be driving there is something wrong with the picture and look at it what is going on this is an example the reason he mention that when we - i got involved we were trying to preserve parking for pdr now well, we lost our parking spaces for them and we've lost a lot of space i'm working on a projects are students the peninsula to sort
9:57 pm
of survey that whole citywide situation to find out somewhat where the loft and pdrs citywide not just the eastern neighborhoods but we know that there small businesses think lombard that feel threatened and chinatown that are deciphering and noah valley where i used to live has a huge number of retails they're afraid instantly changing over the main thing to brought to your attention rush to you push retail on the bottom of all the hoosiers some should be dedicated to pdr space that's what is lacking the city a lot of retail eventually empty maybe the rents are go high but a lot of the businesses are going under not a bad idea to consider
9:58 pm
others uses such pdrs thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners alison heath no secret we're slammed on potrero hill with the housing crisis with the housing crisis you've seen the displacement of pdr with potrero hill and showcase square experiencing a significant portion of the loss it is 7 short years lots of 60 percent of pdr that we've been projected to lose over 25 years at the same time that coastline and showcase square has unfortunate distinction of being the first to maximizing out on residential development the plan
9:59 pm
that was passed by the board of supervisors in 2008, set a level of 3 thousand plus units for potrero hill and showcase square is they're in black and white with an analysis by the planning department nun done in 2015 that projects with 2 thousand plus are submitted applications. environmental review the cac i take it easy to connect the dots they're the symptoms of the same failure of zoning with no limits on the amount of residential unit and no limits. pdr and commercial space anything goes and commissioner vice president richards chaired it big enough to drive a truck through so, now because of zoning we're watching you are neighborhood transformed into urban utopias people go to sleep
10:00 pm
and any travel. everything or else small businesses and neighborhood services and jobs and we have a motion on the floor of workforce we shouldn't focus on how much and how fast we're bleeding without the repercussions the failure of zoning it is time to fix the code so we can start growing our communities rather than destroying them >> game-changer commissioners john i want to continue what the those excellence comments started it is time to get to the truth about
