share membership and certain measures measures you can do like realtime transit display not a lot of square footage on the ground that is flexibility when you look at the flexibility of the measures and the fact that small projects have a low the fact of the matter to beginning www a lower amount of parking they're providing and especially, when we the proposal we commute today to reduce the - this gives for incentive for the projects san jose reduce 12 parking spaces to achieve a lower the fact of the matter and opens up space for additional bike space it is flexible enough to accommodate the smaller projects as well as large projects if you want to ask -

>> around the non-restricted accessory parking brought up by walk sf that included this as with the tdm an exemption for projects that are not seriousy parking. >> it is important to separate this into two separate issues just for the jargon when we say accessory parking under the code to be dedicated to a specific lowell high scho; right? this is a parking space the tdm program doesn't apply to the stand alone parking garages this is the sole purpose of the use you know if someone was proposing to build a parking garages who will they give the subsidies to why put a realtime

display. >> did you have a conversation with walk sf. >> we had the conversation with stakeholders over time this is one situation that in happen often the other issue we've acknowledged when you have a project being built like a high-rise and have a certain amount of parking and request additional parking not accessory and technical it is supposed to function as a parking garage but when in the real world are they using it as a de facto and would this perhaps something to achieve a lower the fact of the matter we felt was an land use and enforcement issue we acknowledged if you have a project that is you you know mixed use project they're proposing to build a parking garage into this project that we

would require any of the parking garages spaces up to the amount that is permitted for accessory parking to count taurd our the fact of the matter again, we don't feel this is a tdm issue as much as land use issue but wanted to aid that loophole and trying to discourage people from using that. >> and a discussion about traffic reduction goals question neighborhood and this legislation addresses that a huge differences in congestion and different parts of the city and are we drafting how do we account how we not to have a certain approach in a place of high-level of congestion. >> i'll let any colleague at the department. >> that's an interesting approach and a total different methodology

this would you know we certainly can consider in the future it would potentially take at least another year or two years to develop all the data and work that through it is just not the approach we pursued and we wanted to build something that was enabled us to act now using the data we have now and the best practices and we can certainly consider that in the future but not we can act on in the near timeframe. >> the goal to be able to reduce vehicle miles traveled across town. >> kroidz /* /- across the

city. >> so last question is related to the health and human services exceptions that was talked about here's a couple of points i have is how prevalent with the exemptions need to be made and how can such exemptions be formulated. >> thank you i mean this is a challenge that our department and other agencies in the city are working in terms of how to help a lot of our smaller nonprofits services agencies stay in the city and be able to operate i know we're working on that on different levels it's challenging within a metric that used land use we don't regulate land use based on ownership for profit or certain

types of nonprofits in the city that is difficult to do that the southern here is that an exemption for nonprofit that will essentially be a forever if we consider a nonprofit this type of exemption for an office use therapy in their space for 5 years and had to leave no trigger to require that office space for the tdm use no change of use that is a concern not only for the program but other planning departments planning code controls how they may or may not impact the nonprofits we feel this structure by and large will rarely have impacts on the use because most of those services exactly for the reasons mentioned they don't have the

capital or the funding to do new construction it is going into an existing space an existing building as proposed the change of use trigger for the tdm requirements anothers 25 thousand square feet and that's very large for those types of uses and if the use is that large they'll be having impact on the city and those types of uses the tdm measures are focusing on the employees if not more than the visitors and their trips to and from - more 10 thousand square feet. >> has there been an analysis avenue you know- sounds like not

been in terms of nonprofit and vehicle miles traveled and how much employees and nonprofits actually commute by cars. >> i don't know if we have done it by nonprofit but specific types of use when it comes to matters of land use and transportation where nonprofit are for profit it functions as a land use we researched the data k59 how a service use differs from for profit. >> and you mentioned is there a way for you know hearing from the human services nonprofits in the community one of the hardships is the fee if they're a change of use from a nonprofit to let's say a

business that has more revenue to add additional cost is there an opt in for a way for an exemption to be created for i know the ongoing fee you said a thousand dollars a year. >> that's the monitoring fee i understand you want to know a process as long as a nonprofit certain types of nonprofit they can apply and be eligible more than a fee reduction. >> exactly. >> that would be constructed and anytime our fees are based the analysis of the staff time to do the work and anytime we reduce the fee we have to look at simplifier else.

>> but on the end of your tdm plan one of the menu options and more importantly to provide transit benefits for workers and residents that is something that nonprofits actually, the human services and nonprofits don't get money for and every year we go through this budget process that talks about the cost doing business increasing every year but the actual grants that human services and nonprofits get is never large enough to meet with the cost of business is and other additional costs way beyond or a menu item i think human services and nonprofits wanted to be able to you know check off and do but not the resources for it so i think that there are constraint that you

know where the menu didn't necessarily address the nonprofits have. >> i think the scenario you've described a description of every projects all the measures have a cost society with the them they'll been different for a variety of factors that's why we have so many miles an hour and the flexibility built in so for whatever reason our individual projects whether you're a nonprofit or profit service provider or a high-rise developer you can take into account the constraint you have and select the measures that work best for you and those projects as mentioned they tend too often not have the parking and i understand you've not be able to measure who occupies the

space there are differences don't believe are captured in this ordinance you've seen the hardship on more businesses or nonprofits that serve low income communities that don't have a larger profit for a menu of options with the greatest impact of reducing the miles traveled it doesn't have to be resolved yet but look forward in terms of modifying in the future to address this issue we have to have the greatest impact to have a greatest menu of options. >> thank you. >> thank you supervisor avalos is there anything else. >> i have an amendment as a whole i want to request the compete accept and one of them

includes grandfathering in of listing project i'm open to a different level one that is - i'm open to what the planning department has put forwards in terms of grandfather in. >> that's good to hear what's a that's what i was going to propose as i ask you accept the amendment as a whole i'll explain in a second and later you can amend it. >> here's the amendment i have first on page 6 lines adding a word for vehicle miles traveled that demonstrates how the tdm more affordable housing is excellent on the level of affordability later we can look at those finding can be addressed how we can have a different approach for you know tenant opted out

buildings that don't have a lot of office and the next one on package 9 the clues the tdm draft be presented any fee required for developers we have a chance for the public to a chance to weigh in on what is put forward for the measure the next allow the planning department to establish a phase in schedule for the tdm projects that have submitted the development applications before december 6th before the language provided by the planning department the fourth is page 12 addressing a clerical issue an amendment that shows that future reports on the tdm program are present to the board and how they're done so these are amendments to the whole i want to request.

>> thank you very much i don't know colleagues if there is any discussion i'd like to go forward and give a couple of remarks first of all, xhoimentsdz to the planning department and others based on the presentation it is clear and quantify a lot of work and thought into making this policy thoughtful and inclusive i know that is not he's a difficult job my compliments to you members here in the chamber and in the office not here on the presentation teem i know a lot of people made this possible and recognize the folks that came in for pub the comments i heard were thoughtful and hope they'll continue to be part of this discussion and we hammer out the tweaks for this important populate that includes the developers that are stand to be

impacted by the some of the proposals so a couple of things first, i want to supervisor avalos has - we have a little bit of a difference the grandfathering clause and i think he indicated i'll be amenable to what i'll suggest my suggestion is from the planning department in a memo for i'll read into the record - let's see table for development projects that the development application on or before september 4, 2016, should be subject to 50 percent of the teetering for developments applications on or after september '57 and green befo201r

amendment to the small section of what scombhoolz is proposing and if we can take that without objection colleagues without objection that item passes thank you, thank you this is a substantial and more and dense discussion we've had here today and i'd like to take a week to continue to work on this and continue to do our due diligence with the stakeholders is if we could madam clerk what in one week's time what's the date for invocation. >> that's december 5th. >> i'd like to make a motion to continue this to december 5th any objection. >> before taking the vote i have one other thing i want to express and we can look at between then and next week

one of the comments was discussed how we are addressing - we're doing our parking tdm plan by units or but there are units we have multiple bedrooms and want the answer in our next week week it is a policy of the city we wanted to build family housing is there a way to have accommodation for this in this legislation or want to create that incentive for families housing. >> okay. thank you so colleagues i've made a motion to continue this item without objection that item passes unanimously thank you and before we adjourn madam chair it's been a pleasure serving with supervisor wiener our the land use committee for the last year and this is the last land use committee it's

an honor to serve on this committee for the topics and now recognizing those two subjects are intertwined to serve on the committee for 6 years you've been so lucky to for the immortality of my 6 years as a board of supervisors i've served on a committee i'm compassionate about around the house and transportation issues and in particular that are critical for the city's future and an honor to serve on the committee that committee is not an easy one to serve on issues have floated through the committee are unbelievably contention because they're important whether an individual project or whether a major, major issue in the city and it's been an honor to be involved and in those

discussions and debates and madam chair you're correct you and i the minute we came into this board in 2011 it's been a pleasure serving with you and handing off leadership plaster colleagues i'm very, very appreciative. >> thank you supervisor avalos. >> you've spent a lot of time in this committee. >> i've been in the committee with scott and the whole time i was here you didn't say a single word i was surprised but i'm it was a rare meeting you didn't say anything i actually wanted to thank you for serving this on the board of supervisors we didn't always see eye to eye but worked on projects together but what

you've contributed to the city and county of san francisco as a supervisor and probably i'll say tomorrow at the full board you brought engagement to each other and we worked harder to shift through the policies based on our work and tensions and creating the legislation that move forward the city forward particularly how we address development and transportation i think where but came in was a huge emphasis on transportation that actually moved you know and be for attention active to our transportation needs no mayor has done i believe that you're part of that and the city is better for it and didn't always agree on the right approach but we're in a better place we were

next item. that is a tough act to follow. way to t it up. >> we go from drag queens to-honey mahogany to jocelyn and conor. >> alright. item number 4, discussion and possible action to make recommendation on board of supervisors file number 1610764, administrative code new hotel and motels near places of entertain. amending the code to authorize the entertainment commission to hold a hearing on noise issues for projects for construction, new hotel squz motels or conversions of existing structures to hotel or motel uses to be located within 300 feet of place of entertainment and provide recommendation to planning department and/or department of building inspection regarding such project and

require the planning department and commission to consider noise issue reviewing proposed hotel and motel project. determining the california environmental quality act and making findings of consistency with general plan and 8 priorities policy of planning section 101.1. >> good froong, conor johnston, staff to board president london breed and i'll speak briefly off the cuff. you had so much fun on the last item i thought i would bing this down to government speed so that is what i'll do. so, last year this commission unanimously supported and the board of supported passed board president london

breeds night life preserve vision which is protecting san francisco's music venue jz preventing conflicts with neighbors. the legislation fundamentally i like to think as a three legged stool. first prevents venues being sued if they operate within the terms of city permit. second, it requires landlored and realster tooz disclose to new resident before they move in there is a venue near by and may be noisy. third, the law empowers the entertainment commission to hold a hearing with both the developer and the music venue when a residential development is proposed within 300 feet of a music venue and it requires the planning commission to consider any recommendations the entertainment commission provides about how those two uses can co-exist. that last one, fundamentally is the most important of the law. we created a structure to help the different land uses coexist in dense mixed use

neighborhoods by working toord on the fronts ends rather than against each other after the fact when people are unhappy and changing things is more difficult. the law is as far as we know and like to brag about this, the first of the kind in the country and the amendments today will strengthen it further. we established the entertainment commission authority to work on residential development near music venues but realize the commission should be vaubed with hotel development near music venues as well. the entertainment commission is dealing with conflict between campten place hotel in union scare and love and propaganda night life venue. likewise ish use with new hampton end on jessie street and the neighbor the mezzanine. hotels are complaining to the nrtd tainment commission and having to refunds guess rooms and upset because ratings are going down. the commission is having to manage the

problems and testing to make sure in compliance with the permit and work wg management with the hotel but force today do this after the fact when we could have had these conversations and done the diligence on the front end. empower the entertainment commission to exist coxishance concern with night life and proposed hotels before those hotels are approved. according to jocelyn kane who sits behind me and here to answer question you may have, there are a dozen hotels in the pipeline and most have night life venues near by. there are 3 hotels within 300 feet of at&t park and infusion lounge in union scare. most hotels have night life nearby because the neighborhoods are more mixed use and denser but also because hotels by nature want to be near the action. the we have oo make

sure both parties are good neighbors. noithd life and good music wring over $1 billion to the local economy and support thousands of jobs they help define who we are as a city. ben blieman the cochair oaf california music and cochair association and small business owner himself, said of the 20phony 2015 no single piece of legislation helped sf night life more than this in decades. it was landmark. thank you commissioner frz being a part of that and with these amendments today we can make it stronger. the legislation before you is supported by sf trachbl and jocelyn and i also made sure to reach out to the building owner squzmanagement association and the hotel council before bringing this to you today and happy to answer question as is director kane. >> just curious, hampton place has been around a long time so is that a situation that applies here? i

think we are-a lot of this deals with new construction, correct or new establishments? so, how do you negotiate when the hotem and club are araund a long time and it changed in such a way or cline tell changed in a way they complain? >> we can only fix the thing weez have the capacity we can fix and should work on new use whether it is construction and conversion and establish a process for that. the ones that are having the issues frankly fall into more a management role with the entertainment commission but like to legislate a process fl those we can catch on the front end. >> commissioner adams. >> this is common sense legislation. i heard some of the complaints from others around-something is too

close or whatever. i think this will address your prm in the front instead of what you deal in the back so this is a very very good piece of legislation and it is common sense, so i like it. >> okay. commissioner ortiz-cartagena. >> i was curious, i agree with you commissioner adams but curious what the hotel council feedback was? >> what we got from the hotel council is a e-mail along the lines of have no objections. is that a accurate-- >> jocelyn kane. i met the with the committee and hotel council and are more supportive sthan just no objections. it was a while ago but the woman who i have been dealing with at hampton place hotel was there as well and understanding and

supportive of this. had this she wouldn't be dealing with what she is dealing with. >> awesome. any other comments? >> thank you, i have a question about the disclosure that is required and i like to sort out what disclosure is required. could you just for the record explain that to us? >> that disclosure exists under the law pursuant to the it legislation in 2015 and effectively requires a written notification to the potential tenant or purchaser of a residential property there is a permitted place of entertainment within 300 feet the property. we have circumstances where people visit apartments or con doughs on a tuesday afternoon, sign on indotted line and come the first friday night when there is a concert they call the police or the venue or jocelyn and creating unfavorable living circumstances for them and unfavorable situation for the small business as well.

>> it does not apply to hotels and motels? >> no, we didn't want to legislate a requirement every guest of the hotel be notified there is a venue nearby so that provision largely does not apply. that leg of the stool of the original legislation doesn't apply on the e hotel side. >> in a real estate transaction the seller has to disclose there is such a thing? it is part of the disclosure requirement in residential but also applies to commercial propertys? it applies only to residential? shaking her hands in the back. >> are you asking if a multi-unit property sells or if a hotel sells? >> let's make it clear for the record. say somebody is selling a residential property, this is part of the

disclosure requirements, correct in the city? >> correct t is recorded as a restriction on the deed >> we are talking about residential property in the neighborhood t. why dont you clarify who is disclosing. >> in the circumstance you describe where a multi-unit residential building within 300 feet oof a plis of entertainment is being sold to a new purchaser, there would be a disclosure that they have a responsibility to tell perspective residents about that venue because that exists as what i believe is a notice of special restriction is what it is called on the titem. title. >> who's title? >> on the multi-unit building. >> if there is entertainment 300 feet from the property there is restriction on the deed? or recording that will eventually notify the public

that in fact there is music and entertainment 300 feet from that property and has to be disclosed in any real estate transaction involving residential properties? >> correct. >> whether it is single family dwelling or multi-unit? >> yes. single family, yes i believe so. >> there are changes. proposed project for a residential use, so you added a new condition, is that what it is? i'm reading from 116.9. can i read it for yoi? >> sure. again, this is the original and then be are adding hotel motel use to this original year and a half old rej slaigz. b but you add a word at the time of proposed project and see additional termsism for residential use is approved and notice of special restriction must be recorded

with the recorder that states-just trying to sort out what the change is. >> i think i can address that. i believe in the original legislation project was a defined term and would be specifically a residential project and the reason why that is now bifurcated is to make clear the distinction between a residential project under the now amened legislation and hotel project because a hotel project is subject to different requirements than a residential project. i think that is the distinction you are referencing there. if that makes sense. >> thank you. >> okay. >> commissioners, any other comments? alright. >> this seems like common sense and anything that makes thingz more clear is a good thing. >> great. we'll open up for public comment now and do we have any members that like to comment on the

item? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners, dowy have a motion? >> i'll motion to approve. >> second. >> commissioner adams motion to approve? >> yes. >> and second by commissioner ortiz-cartagena. roll call vote. adams, yes. dooley, yes. dwight, yes. ortiz-cartagena, yes. tour-sarkissian, yes. yee riley and zouzounis are absent. that motion is approved 5-0, two absent. >> thank you both for your time. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> and thank you jocelyn because i want to say something about jocelyn. she gets a lot of the people who complain and stuff. she gets-her office gets that and got to tell you, you have nerves of steel and what you do is a thankless job. i have seen it

first hand. everywhere in the city whether it is norktd beach, the castro, south of market. one of the venues especially in the new buildings where under cc and r it says you are living in a entertainment zone and people dont read the ccnr. jocelyn has to deal with that and you do a very very good job and i just got to say you do a remarkable job what you do there, so thank you. >> thank you very much. alright. you are a good guy too, conor. next up. >> item number 5. discussion and possible action to make recommendation on board of supervisor file number 161014 planning code exempen certain historic lands marks from november 2016

to replace production, distribution and retear interstugz community and arts actaveties. amending 202.8 included in the november 8, 2016 general election as proposition x to exempt certain historic land marks from obtains commissional use authdization to remove production, distribution and retear interstugzal community and art uses and providing replacement space affirming the planning department determination under the ceqa act and making findings of consistency with the general plan and the 8 priority policyoffs planning code section 101.1. discussion and possible action item and i need to make a correction to the listing here. the presenter is april ang, legislative aid at office of supervisor jane kim. please exkoos the error. >> hi april. >> good afternoon commissioners thank you for having me here. before you on

the follow up to ballot measure that supervisor kim and the boardf supervisors put on the november 8 ballot. no rest for the weary. we did win by 60 percent. the voters have affirmed the measure to prerfb preserve space for pdr businesses specifically, arts and non-profit organizations, institutions that exist in developments where they may otherwise be demolsished. the legislative intent with the measure was to preserve these types of spaces. there was a concern sthees these types of business and organization could not complete in the market against particularly housing development and also office spaces and so the intent here is to preserve these types of spaces in those places where

these spaces were being demolished and specifically in the south of market and mission neighborhoods in the eastern neighborhoods where this is allowed. the concern was there was about a million square feet in the pipeline of projects where this loss of space would occur and the ballot measure for those pipeline projects required a 40 percent replacement and also created a incentive for developers to provide below market rents to these spaces by reducing the requirements by 25 percent if the developer committed to providing rents at 50 percent or below of the current market rents. so, through the legislative process and through the drafting process, we had a allowed for the board to make changes in

the future with a 2/3 vote and in the drafting process there was a option for an off-site replacement or in' lieu program but decided to hold that after the election should this legislation pass, which it did and so this is one of the first cases of making a amendment to the legislation. we didn't want to and don't want to incentvise the demolition of historic buildings, but we-for this piece of legislation we had a very high threshold so buildings part the historic-national historic register should be exism from the requirements if they agree to preserve 50 percent of their space as pdr arts or non-profit. they can convert 50 percent to

other use, probably housing or office to help off-set the pdr use that generally comes at a lower rent, but in a way that will preserve the historic nature the building. i have-this legislation specifically speak tooz high flesh threshold national registered projects of which a few, the armory is one, the mint is another but asked the planning department to prepare a list of buildings that are contributing to historic district or locally locally historic to assess whether or not this sort of exemption should be expanded by a threshold of national register. this is going to be before the planning commission on december 8, so you are hearing this item prior to the hearing at the planning commission and so this

is the intent of the legislation to allow historic buildings to not have to have the full replacement requirements if they can commit to 50 percent of their building to be pdr, production, distribution repair, non-profit or arts space. that's in short a summary of the legislation. >> so, in the case of the mint for example, there is no activity there presently, so does propersition proposition x require in the redevelopment of that site there is some accommodation for pdr? >> it would be pdr or arts or- >> even though there is no displacement of anything like that today? >> correct. >> that's a pretty ownerous requirement for a development that is currently vacant to require that it have

some use other than what might be its best use. >> i understand that the meant also mint also has a museum plan through the california historic society which is within the current framework of the legislation. >> okay. commissioners, any comments? >> i just want to clarify for myself, so if someone doesn't agree to this amendment and doesn't want to convert 50 percent to pdr, is that allowed or is this saying under this designation that is the only way to go? >> no, it-if they don't want to change the current use they dont have to change it toophilus office or housing, but if they are interested in redwening the property for the purpose of something other than pdr, arts

or non-profit use they have to preserve 50 percent of the space as such. >> if it is already pdr? >> or if that was their last allowable use, yes. >> okay. any other questions, commissioners? open up to public comment. to our gallery here. any members of the public that would like to comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners do we want to take any action? or have a motion? okay. >> i'll second. to support the legislation. >> okay. >> ortiz-cartagena made the motion and commissioner adams seconded adams, yes. dooley, yes. dwight, yes. ortiz-cartagena, yes.

tour-sarkissian, yes. yee riley and zouzounis are absent. that mokez motion to support passes 5-o, two absent. >> thank you. have a good proon. afternoon. next item. >> item number 6, presentation and discussion regarding legalization of xhrmsh cannabis sales. discussion item. our two percenters tamar todd and khurshid khoja were unable to attend. >> since it is on the agenda we will take public comment. any members that like to comment? seeing none public comment is close said. we'll reschedule that one. >> do we have to dea motion to- >> no because it isn't a action item. >> okay. item number 7, directors report. update and report on the office of small business and small business assistance center, department programs, policy and legislative matters, announcements from the

leadership of the mayor and his office and, of course, ann they and her staff of the historical society keeping in mind the only thing older is the california historical society 3 years older. >> (clapping.) >> but when we were approached assemblyman it's on the tip of my tongue and i let me say it is a good thing when the folks are from san francisco that is our challenge because there are one and 20 legislators and through the budget progression will be one and 20 ideas as to how we can best spend the very few consideration dollars or maybe jvtsdz to fit a particular purpose our cage is so much of the best and the greatest in the state happens to be in our

district whether we're talking about social service or health programs or important historic projects like this and our job was to communicate to our colleagues that, yes this is treasure is in san francisco but the million dollars we're requesting introduce the budget process for the state of california for the california historical society so 24 has benefit to the entire state the good news we were successful in convincing our colleagues of that but indeed feed anyone we've got a lot more work to do but because of work the mayor and his office has put in place through the partnership with the california historical society that make sense we pursued that million dollars to now invest it and leverage it and lay out a plan for other implementations of that plan he learned a long

time when ann they and her chair comes to my office just give up (laughter) acknowledge that if you don't say yes now they'll be back again and again but i'm so glad they've been that way and take - it will take and continue to take that kind of spirit and determination and certainty this must get done we're all in that together it to the best of my knowledge the village is here and we have to continue to spread the word and i'm committed and dedicated myself to make sure that our vision and the vision of the historical society along with the city and county of san francisco finally comes to reality. >> (clapping.) >> it did take more than one

sacramento not only sent most of us back more democrats back but really saying they're proud of the leadership of what is really going on in sacramento i think as we go into uncharged waters and urban charntd teller territory a time we as californians should stay the course and do more of what we do more in san francisco more of what we're doing i recall the efforts about 20 years ago when willie brown, jr. as renovating city hall and how much criticism he got why is this so most money into a government building why really make sure that that building was renovated people called that a waste of money and really didn't see very much value what is interesting today you watch you know when i used to

work another city hall i had to fight the tour buses to get if so many people not only in san francisco that are proud of that building and the structure what that stands for as a beacon for the city but people from around the world come and now as long as going to the golden gate bridge and walking through the financial district, walking interest our ferry building and the piers and chinatown people come to city hall not only as a symbol of san francisco is but was it embodies i hope we can be here very, very soon at some point to do a ribbon cutting and talk about how this building really personifies the incredible history the incredible value so again, i'm so proud to play a small roll in securing the one million dollars grant i was joking with the mayor that would be a matching
