>> we need a second. commissioner campos >> i tried to second as a chair. >> item 3, community choice aggregation actaveties report. status update on clean power sf and stating update on proceedings: >> michael himes on behalf of general manager hale. i have a few quick items and happy to entertain questions. i brought the communication director charles sheen relate today the outreach efforts to date and looking forward. first of all, and perhaps most importantly i'm happy and proud to announce in terms of cca status updates, for the first time we are operational. on may 1, clean power w

sf served customer jz today is the 19th day of operations. took a lot of work to get here and i know this body was central to that effort. along the lines of good news, our opt out rates continue to be very low. we are still just under 1 percent of total opt outs for the may enrollment. at the beginning of the week we began the issuance of the third stattory set of notices to customers about enrollment and we'll send those out throughout the course of the month. customers will get their first clean power powersf

bill now. the [inaudible] will get the first bills in june. we expect to see a second opt out because that makes the experience real when you get a bill but the rate we are seeing we think is great and expect it to stay low, lower than the twnt percent we were originally expecting. >> just a question on bills, i do all my bills for pg & e on line and don't receive bills, just paying it and wonder if that changes it all because i joined clean powersf. >> no changes, you can will continue to pay on line. i believe pg & e will send you a link to view the bill on line and it will identify the clean powersf charges on the bill. there will be a page with clean powersf charges summarize jd detailed

as well. it should be a seamless experience and continue to pay the same way you would. >> for those getting paper bills, is sthr some dramatic thing people will see that could encourage them to opt out? is that- >> nothing dramatic. what they'll see is a line on the summary page of the bill that identifies clean powersf charges. that will be the first time they see that. they may call and ask questions and hopefully they've read the notices we have been sending them but at that point they probably would have received 4. again, when you pay your bill customers will study it. some customers will study it and that may be where they really reach out to us and have more questions. >> on the opt out rate we are less than 1 percent and.0001 is less than 1 percent.

>> good question. we are about.9 of a percent. >> and then.9 of a percent-- >> yeah,.009. >> that is a big difference. that is close to zero. >> yes. >> and then given that small sample of people who opt out what are the reasons people say? >> we are tracking that. they range from not wanting to leave their current provider to not wanting to take service from local government to a perception that the cost may go up. i say though the majority are-another one does tend to be the automatic enrollment mechanism. we are talking about a small sample overall. >> very very small. okay, thank you.

>> so, continuing on the customer enrollment line here, we are continuing to receive sign ups on line and through our public outreach activities. i believe last time we reported to you on earth day we had a very successful earth week and got a lot of sign ups and that continues. at that time we had 240 sign ups. we now have 340 and 70 percent of those are super green services. so, we are seeing a trend for those who sign up they want to go super green, which is great. with respect to proceedings of the cpuc we continue to monitor there and proceedings that may effect pg

& e cost to make sure the costs are nolt unfairly shifted to customers. we focus on power judge adjustment and other fees pg & e can assign to customers for departing their service. on this front i want to mention we are working collaborativety with all the or the cca's in operation and communities are investigating cca. this is the top regulartory priority for a cca program and working to make sure we have a unified front at the cpuc on this issue. you may recall in march there was a workshop at the cpuc very well attended. a number of the san francisco stakeholders spoke at that workshop. we are expecting soon a workshort report to be issued, that is pending and told it is imminent. we also spect there will be a

comment period that will involve procedures. that is all i have so if you have any questions or relate d to the outreach effort. >> i have a question, where can i get more of these? we had a special question at question time last week, the big giant pumpkin ball we set up to the mayor to knock out of the board chamber and didn't quite do it, so i think we really making sure that at least from the mayors office as well we are getting the kind of outreach and viberancy robustness for a outreach program that wasn't indicated by his answering at question time.

>> sure, charles new title today, i'm acting communication director for sfpuc but still overseeing communication and outreach for the clean powersf program. to your point on the mayor, last week or two weeks ago we work would the mayors office on a national cmcbc news story about san francisco clean energy goals highlighting and features clean powersf. the mayor was interviewed twnt or 30 minutes on clean powersf and cities other clean energy goals and the segment aired on cmbc and money nightly report. >> can i ask a question about that? >> did the mayor spend time trashing the program we killed 3 years ago? >> no- >> it would be off mesling to do that which is what he did in the

board chamber. >> focused on the future and 100 positive story and that is what aired nationally on the news during the day. they did a live cut over from the sun set reservoir where they said we are here in san francisco at a sun set reservoir solar rea and doing more solar and cut to the [inaudible] about our 100 percent renewable energy goals as well as east hampton in long island about their renewable energy goals. east coast and west coast motif and was a fabulous story about the work we do in san francisco. in terms of the clings we have two clings, so we always do dual diligence andordser in bulk so if you run out of those we ordered quite a bit but it is best toordser as much as you can at once, so we

have more of those if you need them. >> the goal is since every wnl is opting in, everyone can opt into the light green and the goal is get as many super green people to sign up. >> correct. >> what is our numerical goal? >> we committed to a 5 percent super green sign up throughout the year for two enrollments and as our director said, the super green sign ups are increasing every day and as we get closer to august, september, we will work with the department of environment using their in-house staff, their door to door outreach team to do some of just that in our next enrollment in districts 5, and 8 and do door door, some neighborhood canvasing and set up your ironing board at the corner to get more super greens and they will provide staff and people power to do that and we want to continue to move

forward towards the 5 percent goal and so far so good. we are continuing to get those sign ups. >> the 5 percent goal was set because that is what we expected we could get or thought what we could only win for sign ups? >> we took a very detailed look at what other green power programs achieved with their 100 percent renewinable energy sign ups. we looked at smud green energy program. we looked at portland gas and electric and had the high bar for participation in 100 percent renewable and are at 12 percent but have been operating for a number of years. we did a deep dive analysis oon green power programs in the west coast are experiencing in terms of adoption rate for their 100 percent program and came up with what we think is

good estimate, fifen percent and think we'll relook at it as we continue to launch but that the first estimate and hope to get as close to that and see that and with each new sign up we are close toor the goal. >> that is the short term goal. what does st. look like like 5 years out? >> 5 years out, i don't know if i thought that far. we want as many people signed up for super green as possible. our green renewable content will rise over the year jz i'll let him comment how fast it will rise but we are at 35 and that is on going to go up. we want to get as quickly as possible where the only product is 100 percent renewable energy or have different types of 100 renewable so that is long term or medium goals.

>> commissioner crews. >> thank you so much. thank you for mr. herns and shin for your information and sharing that with me. i don't want to get too in the weeds but excited to hear about next steps what is the communication plan look like? >> i did allude to some of the items earlier. we will partner with department of environment to do door to door on the grounds outreach. we have begin pivots to district 5 and 8 for enrollment and reached out to all the neighborhood groups and merchant groups to make sure we getoon their calendar for a presentationment . we also pert together had second round of enrollment notice. august is around the corner so do that as well. we will be doing a little more advertising,

potentially billboards and in the muni station. the first enrollment wasn't suited for that because it was so small and for commercial business but with residential customers there will be a lotplore customers so it will be suit today advrertising in the billboards and muni. we are working on all those items now and then because we also have a lit lt more time and elude to this before, prior to august, late june and throughout july there will be more flurry of actaveyty on social media and vieral campaigns to get people to sign up word of mouth which isologist effective. i was at the league of [inaudible] they were talking about how word of mouth they told their

friend and told someone and that is effective tool for super green sign ups. we are pivoting for the second outreach coming up and that will be a lot of activity. ioasked at the last meeting talking about how the supply is all local from the bay area and said we have something cooking and we did but two weeks later we had a mbc news story featuring siley wind project and our assistant went up and talked there and they were interviewed on camera and that story aired and featureed how the supply will be local so you can probably search for that on the mbc website. >> i have it recorded. >> very good. i wanted to follow up- >> it was really great. with

the more consumer targeted communications will we see then the idea of the super green super hero used, is that the goal? >> yes, we are looking at using that images, there are icons for or first enrollment mailer. we were still looking at that. one of the challenges with enrollment mailers is we have to translate the terms and conditions into 4 different languages and that presents a bit of a mailer and information challenge so we want to use the super green super hero much more as we do more advertising so think you will see a lut more of that. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> jason fried executive officer for lafco. to add what they were talking

about for those that want the [inaudible] i have them. i will be at the harvey milk birthday celebration sunday put on harvey milk democratic club and more people wim have these for people that already signed up and you can pick it up there or find ways to get those that already signed up but those are mainly for those looking for super green. that is quhie i left one at each of your desks because you aurltd signed up. for those that don't sign up for super green we will have for the green. go to clean powersf.org/enroll and enroll now. outside the marketing stuff i have been helping with, lafco did a job analysis of what jobs look like. we did the [inaudible] report talking about the ability to create thousands of jobs with the launch of a program. some asked we are launching the jobs

where are all the jobs and took a step back and said the 9,000 jobs was over a 20 or 30 year window and are not all created on day one. what is san franciscos programs looking at and what did the other programs look at? specifically on the construction side. how quickly did they get to their first projects built. what you find is the two bay area cca programs marin and sonoma on dione didn't have the project said built. a lot of other factors involve-sonoma got there quickly. lancaster got there quick but it sin the hot spot of solar. they can produce the best quality solar at the cheapest price, much better than the bay area. they have a much

lower exist fee. they don't belong to pg & e and are in southern cam edison so they have advantages over the bay area, cca. the report looked and shows there are jobs that get created out of laurching a program and looked at the future potential as we ramp up and add more customers. how do we do that. we did the anal iss in the report and if you have questions i can answer it otherwise i'll leave it at that. >> great. thank you. questions from here? thank you for your presentations and your work and analysis. appreciate it and we'll go to public comment. any member like to comment sxh forward and we'll do fwo minutes per person. >> hello. [inaudible] 350 sf.

thank you to staff for all the work and worked with them a couple time at sundray streets to try to sign people up. if you google clean powersf stop the shell shock was the first thing to come up and now it isn't on the first page but the things that do come up with clean powersf website and wikipedia entry which was written by stop the shell shock and i commandeered and rewrote and reedit until they gave up. i check td now, it is updated by someone with sane information but still not asf last fall. i think the puc should watch the wikipedia page. [inaudible] 1245 can go and write whatever they want and they used to. looking at the website it is a bunch of

blocks. i think as we make this more consumer facing we may want to make the clean powersf branded a little differently than just the puc header with different content. really the thing i want to harp on the most is increasing the speed of phasing this in city wide and definitely talked to them about it and puc commission, but ultimately when we look at silicon valley and the peninsula they are phasing in their entire load in 18 months to 2 years and we are talking about taking a lot longer than that. punenz luis doing a third at a time so start with well more than our first two phases will add up to. i know there is-we have to buy the power but we have the customers and know that we won't get opt out more than we are buying power so just like to ask we do what we

can. >> thank you very much. any other member of the public like to comment? seeing none, we'll close public comment. i think our website is really critical the next few months so we can see how we can measure what is working along the way and make updates, that will be great. next item, please. >> item 4, final report on the stid oon what the city and county of san francisco can do to help increase voter turnout. >> jason fried execive office. we did a presentation last month on the draft report and received comments back and made edits. most of the edits are technical in nature. there were two areas where we did addition to had

report itself. when i say addition i talk like a paragraph or two. on the vote by mail section we didn't discussialo county, they did do a vote by mail. something similar san mateo so added information about that and we did do there was a piece of legislation that was introduced at the legislative level we mentioned at the last meeting but not in the report done by assimbly member david chew. the rest is basically the same. it is good solid report. what i request from had commission is accept and file and i would consider that report at that point done and we move on to other projects at that point. >> great, very good. we do have mentioned around vote 16. >> yes, vote 16 is in there.

vote 16 is mentioned in there. there are a lot of steps before that comes to realty though. >> that is great and great to see the presentation from youth commission and young people part the youth academy. they frame was around increasing turnout and consistent voting. okay, we go to public comment. any member like to comment? seeing none, we'll close public comment and this is accept the report? do we need a vote on that? >> mr. chair, before you take a vote, you may need to resend the vote to exkoos commissioner mar. >> we have been joined by commissioner mar and so let rr do this one and we'll resend the vote on the previous one. commissioner crews. >> i'm sorry. i just want to have a opportunity to look at the vote 16 section before we accept the report.

is there any way we can wait until the next meeting? >> okay. >> i'm sorry. >> we did public comment so we'll move on to-we can resend the vote on our minutes? number 2? >> yes. >> so, motion to resend from commissioner crews. we want to have--commissioner mar. >> yes, please. thauchck.

>> if we extend it for a year and decided half way through the year you want to change legal service we can do that. that right is always the commissions right to do. there is also one additional thing the law firm is requesting, they request increase of $10 per hour for each staff. you will see in the exhibit a new rate schedule for the staff that work for us. i have done research and analysis, we are at the high end of what legal services are paid for other lafcos in the bay area, we are not far outside oof it and if we throw that on top of what we were paying this year for legal service we are talking $500 more for the entire year, so it isn't that much more. we haven't had a raise in a couple

years so it would be up to the the commission to decide if you want to give that raise, i have no objection to dpooing the raise and want to see us extend the contract. i believe this provides a lot of services we need and should have. i leave it up to you if you have discussion for the contract itself. >> thank you and thank you for doing background work to compare two other cca councils. i'm okay with the increase and like to extend the contract so in favor so want to vocalize that. open tupe public comment. seeing nin close public comment. this is live before us. commissioner campos. >> make a motion to approve the extension of the contract with the acceptance of increase

>> georgia swedish. >> good afternoon i want to talk about my father subject alterations of decisions with the emphasis or the exploration of sexual abused here's one one the 5 we talked about last december we see the evacuation competently vacation here's the done project right there on market 5 million but this is a whole other story any big concern is the "x" vacation and it was approve or disapprove by our discussion about the project on fulsome the 3 dr and the issuance of the garage if their feasible and i think what i'm siege in some of the projects alterations are not

that the garage are problematic the steep driveways and low clearance and i've experienced the people are not using their garages so this excavation is not necessarily in our deep purview on environmental thing but what you determine when you approve this site permit what goes into the sites excavation if there are garages people not using them maybe they need to have another look this is another one of the altercations anymore like a demo this is a garage and better close up this is one, too that is pretty extreme non-anyone what figure that out one hears another one you can't see the garage it is

still be constructing a sense of down you know for skate broads that shows you the whole building and just to follow up here's for excavations to show you another excavation here and just to finish this is 48 seconds left i saw this morning i went for walk over breakfast this is an alteration supposedly that is what the left this is the original house another thing that stalled the same deal and another one and as you can see the "x" vacation the - i'm out of time those are basically, the excavations i hope you'll think about

excavations of garages thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> i picked up a book the other day from the library about the three hundred and 20 the first african-american that went par trooping and they jumped in and had those garage balloons and camouflage the par troopers i want to present information i've been looking for a while and like to find a place on the screen

that's okay. can i share the screen please. it is similar to what quay looked showing income per household and we see the w40i9 triangle less than $45,000 per year you'll see the co-relation between income and here we go the number of pedestrians that are hit by cars per year so a decedent amount a high co-relation between the accident and the low income density that white triangle the tenderloin a little bit of soma and more digging in the paper recently the why do that crimes are up from 38 thousand plus per

year to 60 thousand over 6 years is a 60 percent there their assault and drugs and alcohol and fraud and sex crimes and motorist vehicle and motorist vehicle break in this is a breakdown three hundred and 8 crimes her year over the last 13 years actually, one want 9 million crimes per year 200 and 60 to 4 hundred per day and then this again another breakdown of the crimes occurred our locking infrastructure it seems like we paired crime high density of low income residents as well as high chance of someone hit by a pedestrian vehicle this is one this is 6,

one this is slash 12 and this is how we no longer host the income between the individuals hit and motorist vehicles and protecting thank you keep up the good work. >> next time we'll have this full screen. >> i think any other public comment this gentleman. >> okay. thank you. >> when the item is called. >> number 9 thank you, thank you not seeing any, public comment is closed. and commissioner vice president richards. >> i think a couple of things one we missed you thanks for coming back it's been a while i hope you're okay i think everyday when i go out to talk to people that request drs especially in noah valley

there's a real mystery how the planning and the building code what can we do and what we can't do and harmony i think the next time with the building inspection we should allow questions from public to be asked in advance of meeting we can do a presentation on peering the vail to show you what really is allowed and not allowed that that will go a long way in enjared public trust i got information every week and why is this we approved a demolition and contacting the department of building inspection and other the public seize that they make it not trusted the process an informational building and planning to codes and working

where things tie and not that would be great to - perhaps that meeting should have a look at after we look at the planning code and see i don't want to jump the gun we keep on having these things every week and this was brought to your attention on the demolition was permitted and it actually created a new dwooel that was 4r0ud i did not realize that the public didn't understand that that would be great of a great joint hearing with the building inspection. >> commissioners that places us in the regular calendar item 2 up now polk street this is a request for conditional use authorization. >> jonas a few other items for you today. >> good afternoon commissioner

employees getting extra time in on the clock being able to pay our bills it is expensive to live here in san francisco in regards with the loud music and noise of the bar you know he's actually moved live performance to the back of the bar music and it is volume adjust building but mesh with the community policies is a busy street with tons arrest of bars and other noise comparably to the other establishments i've seen out there he's one of the more contributor and quieter of the bars xevendz the hours 2 o'clock will obtain beneficial to

everybody. >> good afternoon christine i'm here to support the wine bar and their extension of hours i've been a customer at the wine bar since they've opened i live a block and a half away polk is my neighborhood this wine bar is definitely not the primary cause of noise and problems in lower polk absolutely no way anyone in they're right mind can think so i know over the years i've spoken to him over challenges we've had had this bar is trying to do different things and live music is one his version of live music is opera we're not talking

about a full on electronic music show down in the front window i know that several bars have this volume activities like that this bar is the only spot currently in the lower polk area you can go and sit down with a friend my case my boyfriend and have a quiet glass of wine and have an earning out and something to do that didn't involve the younger louder generation the challenge is that they do close and midnight you have to put an early ended on our evening and especially people hike any that work long weeks don't get out to dinner until 8 or 9 o'clock in the earning by the time you go in and sit down to have that nice moment with

our significant other they're calling the last call that would be wonderful to go and kind of have that longer evening out from a time without feeling rushed i hope you chose to support him a great edition to the communities. >> hello, i'm gary netherlands i live in the neighborhood and going to the bar for years and i'm in complete agreement with the previous speaker that it really is a quiet and enjoyable place to go and by having to leave early your forced to go if you think the want to extend your evening with our boyfriend or girlfriend and be bombard

with people that are drinking with loud music and can't enjoy a conversation in a place like the poorhouse i've never heard the music back in 2012 there might have been a night that was loud but i've never heard that i've been going there for a long term i hope you extend the hours i know that the mc-2 would be a great boss and citizen and he's always trying to make the place better every time i go in there there's a little improvement the people in the senior building that has the poorhouse they are all in support of the extended hours so if one person complains i

guess you can't make everybody happy but 99.9 percent of people are and i'm one of them thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> okay not seeing any, public comment is closed. >> commissioner vice president richards interesting when i was president of my neighborhood associations that was one of pretty much beside market octavia the second most frequent issue we dealt with was in the upper market and worked with the neighbors around what their issue if there is an issue and mitigate it i guess i have a few questions for the residence across the street a woman that spoke. >> please. >> if you could let me, maybe i

missed this in our testimony you live across the street people that live above the poorhouse what is believe it or not you to the poorhouse is it music is it customer smoking on the street and my second question how can you attribute it to the poorhouse. >> back in 2012 i appeared before this commission. >> uh-huh. >> we were talking about the issues and i made a complaint they are bands right by their windows wide open and door wide open and substantially over the years and time many, many people complaining they moved the band to the back. >> uh-huh. >> the noise was 0 so loud the dispatchers that took the report couldn't believe the noise in

the background and bear in mind their ancient and don't speak english in affordable housing and a lot of them are afraid they'll lose their standing with the affordable housing we can't force those folks to come forth yeah, we have a problem but i'm afraid to speak i couldn't speak i'll keep my mouth shut down. >> after 2012 has the issue gotten better. >> i'm sorry. >> after 2012 they moved the band to the back. >> it took them a couple of years. >> where are we today. >> the past 7 or 812 months they've been behaving because they anticipate good behavior will justify their extension of hours i don't have any problems with them aribnb money or problems with the folks working

there i have problems after certain hours close the windows and doored all the people don't live across the street i'm suffering lack of sleep i have heavy curtains and close any windows during the heat of the hottest days and putting in earplugs is that fair i'm a senior i worked all my life i am entitled now to peace and quiet and enjoyment of any home and the neighborhood like i said i have no problems with the business. >> one last question when you had those issues did you make police calls. >> yes. >>i do. >> and documentation. >> yes. >> can you hand to over the rail. >> thank you i'd like to request mr. bigelow.

>> so you heard. >> i did i'd like to mention or dispute a couple the questions the leeland hotel no people fearing for their life only their housing there i have a letter in any package from the landlord everyone in the building i supported their christmas party and provided food and i clean up the whole block i help you know keep the neighborhood clean with the lower polk neighbors what else i have 5 letters of support from the people in the building two with which are on the side and they did have i think entertainment commission spoke to people in the building and interviewed them hey is that place loud thai said no louder

than polk street the odds of those two letters our reading is battling with a bar a block up the street right now i think that you know she didn't have anything else to do she's retired and to wear earplugs and closing our windows is false as of 2012 our condition we moved our music to the back to close our windows, we don't allow people to congregate i spoke to the author of that letter i went to her house she wouldn't speak to me saw the lower polk neighbors i addressed her let's have a cup of coffee and help you solve that let me help you solve this problem only one

person that is causing the grief for me she wouldn't meet what are your premium concern she said haubz she said there was kids handing out in front of any establishment we do have kids selling them a glass of wine they go do other places and things like that we have a ton. >> huh? >> sure. sure are you aware of any police calls made that specifically pertain to our establishment. >> the womanhood across the street called many times they show up and say there's no problem. >> what existing noise continuation. >> what. >> what are you doing to try to

eliminate. >> we put in curtains in the front and side and close the curtains and don't play music open one or two days a week in in conjunction with a pop up opera with italian wine they finished at 915 we have solo gufrts and don't allow drums and their obama own amplified music a control through the house system i have control of the music she would routing call shawn from the entertainment commission and he'd call me i'd walk across and walked up to my place you couldn't hear the music placing from the front. >> so the entertainment commission inspector ever found you were over the decimal limit. >> no, i requested from the

police department they've never to this date found me in violation. >> would you be willing to put a sign out front a small one foot by foot that says please keep the noise down. >> i have one out there, sir. >> i move to improve the hours of operation. >> second. >> commissioner antonini. >> i agree. >> sorry. >> i agree we've heard the limited nights of music not the kind of music with a heavy base sound and not after 10 o'clock so not having a bearing on the extension time 12 to 2 o'clock and generally wine bars tend to be older and quieter crowd in my experience been to a few of them

on various parts of city and they're around 15 to 20 other establishments in the general vicinity that serve either alcohol or food both alcohol and food and it is pretty hard for everyone to differentiate where the noise is coming from or the planners making the noise on the streets i think that is the least likely to be a contributor and two neighborhood organizations support and lots of letters so i'm supportive of this conditional use. >> commissioner moore and i'm in support i want to remind the commission the former supervisor chiu worked with the neighborhood groups to limit and establish a clear policy about how many bars 0 could be and the

distance that doesn't mean they'll all perform to standard but the neighborhood groups dr. been keeping certain people out and support those who are there so those neighborhoods groups today come and voucher for this applicant i take that is as a solid gold kind of endorsement one of the reasons why i support of the extension of the hours. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to there is a motion that has been seconded to approve this matter with conditions commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner wu commissioner vice president richards and commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and places us on item of for case pca conditional use for removing unauthorized units a planning code amendment.

>> good afternoon commissioner president fong and commissioners planning department staff the proposed ordinance the item before you is sponsored by supervisor wiener it is duplicated from an earlier ordinance supported by madam chair rosales which has been effective since april of this year we do action of the ordinance two days it requires a conditional use authorization for removal of all residential unit and including unauthorized units supervisor wiener responses to concerns of unauthorized units in single-family home this proposal can be understood by looking both the may 25th memo and the ordinance in your packet i'd like to introduce ann seem from supervisor wiener's office and she'll discuss it further and i'll continue my presentation

after. >> hello commissioner ann simon legislative aide to to supervisor wiener regarding the memo you have distributed to you letter from may 25th we're asking for a change in the case of removal from in-law units and a lot of complaint in single-family homes not professionally not robust operations knowing that the conditional use process is generally catered towards a much bigger robust project and dr discretionary review and it is catered for smaller property owner in a simplified version of that process for a few reasons one the appeal to the board of appeals for the discretionary review is a more logical venue in the case of small residents

and the removal of one unit as opposed to goes to the board of supervisors is a burdensome process so we don't know - and let's see any kind of unanimous complaint can trigger the removal of a in-law unit that is unwarrant and from the unit is not able to be legalized for life safety and back in the day reasons that is fair without a robust operation without a lawyer and legal counsel about the means of the resources for legal counsel to have this simplified process especially with the planning commission if a unit should be forced to be legalized and unable to be

removed that will be denied in the conditional use process and so it didn't really make a more lenient process only a simpler one often for a person of lessor means this amendment has been discussed at the other hearing supervisor peskin is in support as well as supervisor avalos the author of the legislation with the condition that like i said previously a unit that could be legalized for reasons of you know construction or life safety if so it possible it should be genocide with the same conditional use. >> so much more of a procedural change to be fair to small property owners and use the downstairs unit for rental income to supplement their

income. >> do you have any questions. >> could you repeat last section many single-family homes properties that right hand an unwarranted in-law unit usually the case the owner move-in an unawarded in-law unit on the first floor those usually are not giants robust operations it is one propose other than often protecting i don't have - many property owners and protecting income property owners and single-family homes with illegal units. >> one more question after public comment thank you.

>> okay. >> thank you after further analyzing the differences between a mandatory discretionary review and a conditional use authorization the department keeping the cu requirement for removing an unauthorized unit and single-family homes the newly adopted control for remove nunlts are based on two goals first to protect the tenants from eviction, due to demolition, and second is to preserve our existing horticulturalist as well as life and safety standards are met unauthorized units are most often found in single-family homes given the city's goals to protect those unite and their tenants it is important to provide the same review of unauthorized units and single-family homes as provide in other building sites

mandatory discretionary review process is an easy path to remove the unauthorized units because of the way it is structured and the appeal process however, unlike common belief the mandatory discretionary review can be more costly than a cu a flat fee off 35 hundred for mandatory discretion and can be as low as $1,500 lastly the mandatory discretionary review is used for medical cannabis dispensarys the department prefers consistency in the policies use for roving residential units force o for those reasons the department recommends maintaining the cu requirements for removing unauthorized units in all types homes in addition

to 9 recommendations for the supervisors proposal staff recommends additional changes to further improve the decided controls with the legaltions of illegal units so the rest of the recommendations are related to supervisor wiener proposals the first two is about legalization of unauthorized units first staff recommends allowing more one unit to be legalized per lot only allows one unit per lot to are legalized if one lot more than one left-hand side the rest what about removed over-the-counter administratively removing those requires for legalization and helps to protect all of the tenants from vocation and provide the units life and safety

staff was made aware of a loophole creates as a result of subcontractor with the cu controls and some restrictions in the legalization program this restriction is that the restriction in the program is that an illegal unit will not be eligible for legalization in the building - certain no fault evacuees are happens at the same time as part of cu controls non-eligible for legalization it can be removed over-the-counter this means the property owner can evict their tenants of the unauthorized units and obtain a permit over-the-counter to convert the unit back to storage

or garage without having to go through a cu process this may incentivizes evictions not otherwise occurred and eviction itself gives the property owners more - the history were put in the legalization program to protect tenants the review of eviction history was based on an assumption that allowing the unit to be legalized may create an incentive for eviction however, what we now release is that this eviction history won't keep the owners from environmental impact the tenants after the legalization program is completed it didn't meet the intendedl
