rincon hill association. it's also a model for how to move bikes through the neighborhood along the waterfront. it's a model for designing for sea level rise and adapting to changing conditions, and as an example of that, we started by looking at 55 inches of sea level rise, and over the ten years that we've been working on this project, the projections increased, and we adapted our responses to make sure that we were still at the highest level of 66 inches of sea level rise. it's also a great example of how you can use ongoing conversations with neighborhood groups and city partners to really continually make sure that it will be a model for development in the city moving forward. thank you. >> thank you. supervisors, very quickly, i support this project wholeheartedly. it is outstanding.

very early on when i first read about the project, before i had even spoken with anyone on the development team or with the giants organization, i expressed with mayor lee, that all things being equal on large projects, we should never accept anything less. not only struck by how much affordable housing is, but the deep affordablity. as most of you know, the constituency that we serve out of our church and the fillmore district cannot really afford what we call affordable housing. this has deep affordablity, and we can perhaps quit losing our members to churches in antioch and pit burg atsburg and many who can't live in san francisco. also, the amount of work it will provide, but there's something else that hasn't been

talked about. in talking about the commercial units, looking at them, and with the giants willingness to create new commercial units, so people who own businesses, people who are hopeful of becoming entrepreneurs, can come here and open up. in our community, the lack of african american businesses, disgraceful in this city, and we usually just can't afford the spaces that are available. this has an opportunity to change some of that. you need to support this 100%. thank you so much. >> thank you so much, reverend townsend, and seeing no further public comment, i'll ask the chair if we can close public comment. all right. public comment's closed. i want to thank all of the members of the public for coming out today, and also as we talked about vacancy storefront in our previous hearing, i know the giants have spent a lot of time talking

about how we can bring the amenities and services that i was talking about, and i appreciate the smaller footprint for the commercial area so we can have more businesses that are truly san francisco small businesses. i have several amendments that i'd like to make and put into the record, and i've made copies for all the members of the committee on item number five, on-line 19 through 25. i'm making the amendment, which i had talked about earlier, which would move the hotel potential use to the commercial parcels and out of the residential parcels. on page 11, in section 4, striking hotel uses up to 300 rooms are permitted in any location in which residential uses are permitted, we are striking that, also, in spirit with what i'd spoken in my opening remarks. on items number 6, to the ceqa

findings on page 3, line 20, adding a new whereas clause, just that the board has reviewed and considered the information on those following dates, and also that the final iar considered constructing a 300 room hotel, and we a considers moving it to the residential but are moving it to the commercial. and then on page 13, further resolve that the board of supervisors find that the modifications incorporated into the project including without limitation the change in the hotel variant, and the planning memorandum. so all of these amendments were put into place through agreements with the project sponsor, to again move the hotel out of the residential parcels so that we can build as much housing as possible. i do want to appreciate john elberling who came to speak.

i can appreciate the housing in this project. we do need to build for office space. there is a need for that, but we aren't meeting for housing need, so i appreciate the aggressive advocacy that we have at every meeting that we've got to have our housing needs met. it is unfortunate how slow going these major projects can be with the infrastructure investment that's involved in them. but i think that we have to continue that conversation beyond this project, and i look forward to continuing that conversation with planning and office of economic development. so colleagues, i have made any motion to amend to these items. >> all right. so colleagues, for items, again, just to repeat, 5, page 9 and 11, and then, item 6, page 3 and 4, so if we could do that without objection, we'll adopt the amendments for those two items. and then on the balance of all the items. colleagues, i just make a

motion to move this forward with a recommendation to the following board meeting next tuesday. >> okay. and that would be for items four through six. we'll do that without objection. congratulations. >> congratulations. >> all right. mr. clerk, can we please call item 7, and we are now joined kbi supervis ed by supervisor pes ken. >> to allow recovery of costs by third party experted and other related experts in making appropriate findings. >> thank you, supervisor peskin. >> thank you, madam chair, supervisor safai, supervisor kim. this is a very basic change to the building code which mr. strom here can speak to, but basically legislation would allow the department to engage third party experts for evaluating permits for complex projects. this grows out of discussions and hearings that we've had around the millennium tower

issue. and bill, if you want to make a -- or mr. tom, if you want to make a quick presentation. i know my colleagues have been in this committee for hours and hours, the floor is yours if the chairs so like. >> thank you very much, supervisor and thank you for sponsoring this. i think you framed it very well. we're in the process, as i believe you know, of setting up through an rfq process, a pool of third party future tall building peer review experts, and that process actually is going to conclude at the end of this month. so having this cost recovery fee mechanism in place is very important for the department because it will then enable us to make sure we can issue the contracts and we will change the old way of doing business and we'll have what we think is

a much better way of doing business, so thank you very much. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. >> and that is it for the presentation? okay. and we have this other sheet here, so colleagues, if you have any other questions, you can refer to that. so shall we open it up to public comment? okay. any member of the public wishing to comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: if you're willing, i'd like to send this to the full board without objection. >> okay. and supervisor peskin is now a voting member. item 8. >> update provisions on street encroachment permits, establishing peal procedures -- fee payment for certain promgs, modifying the street encroachment permit process, and creating a temporary street

encroachment permit for a maximum period of 30 months. >> thank you, and supervisor peskin, would you like to start this item? >> supervisor peskin: sure. as you recall, this legislation came to committee back in june and was the subject of some amendments at the board back in july, and we heard some concern about those amendments, and on second reading sent the legislation back to committee and over the last several months, we have had a working group, and i want to thank andres howard from the mayor's office and public works, and robin havens and ken rich also from the mayor's office and my staff, and most particularly, the person who's had to grapple with the drafting, john. i also want to acknowledge my interns who did some extensive research that i don't think anybody had ever done before

going back to 1975 at the dawn of major encroachment permit granting by the city. and they really helped us with data that informed what is before you today. let me just start out by saying that really what this does is bring our major encroachment permitting scheme into the 21st century. it's 40 years old. it had no due process appeal rights, and i think what we've crafted in front of you is the subject of a lot of collaborative work and agreement. i also want to thank mohamed nuru who sent me a text message earlier today supporting the legislation. again, i know you guys have been in here for hours and hours. i adopted something in here from a piece of legislation i actually passed almost exactly 17 -- or introduced almost exactly 17 years ago. i just want back on legistar.

on february 1st of 2001, i actually proposed a change to the conditional use process that allows five members of the board to bring appeals of conditional ulses to the board itself, and we have copied this in virtually the same way. it allows neighbors and neighborhood groups to get a hearing in front of the director of public works on encroachment permits; allows applicants to get hearing in front of the director of public works. i think it is well thought out. i'm happy to answer any questions. i do have a number of questions which deputy city attorney malamut can speak to, i am happy to answer questions from my colleagues, and the clerk

has a copy. supervisor safai has asked me to read them in the record. the first in summary is to require that major encroachment permits include detailed obligations of the permity and required them to keep maintenance records as a further incentive to -- keep such improvements in a good state of repair. the next -- that's on page 3, the red language there. the second one is -- requires board of supervisors findings for the basis of revocation, including costs of revocation and restoration; also, changes the previous legislation that says if the board of supervisors fails to act, the director's underlying decision stands. the next one, on page 6 is the community appeal for administrative hearing

provision and builds in time frames for an opportunity for the permity to cure any defects. the next one on page 6 also is -- director can approve the petition to revoke community appeals -- that three community appeals are grounds for revocation which include failure to cure. next one, on page 7 limits the grounds for revocation and narrowly tailors them and indicates that demonstrative evidence must be included. and then, if the board requires the posting of a bond or other security, the permitee shall provide security to the bond that that's approved to an annual basis. if the board allows a transfer

assignment of the permit, that will be subject to a maintenan maintenanc maintenance endowment. that is all of the amendments. >> thank you, supervisor peskin. any other questions or comments? no? okay. so let's open up item 8 to public comment then. any members of the public? seeing none, item 8, public comment is closed. do we have a motion? >> supervisor peskin: i would like to move the amendments and then send the item to a full board with recommendation. >> all right. we'll do that without objection. and thank you, madam clerk, is th that -- is there any other business before us today? >> clerk: that concludes the calendar. >> thank you. we are adjourned.

>> good morning everyone. thank you for joining us here today. i'm honored to be here to announce my appointment of kathr kathryn stefani as our new district two supervisor. (applause) as you all know, i had the great fortune of growing up in district two, and this was the library i visited and the gym i played in as a child growing up. i lived here my entire life and i care deeply about the wellbeing of the residents of district two and safety and success of the neighborhoods. with that in mind, i could not be more confident in my appointment of kathryn as district two supervisor. no one knows district two better or cares more about the community. she served as a legislative aid for district two in city hall for nearly a decade and during that time, she fought for the best interests of the residents

of district two, to her like it was to me, it is more than just a job, it is about representing the neighborhoods we live in and we're both raising our children in. she has lived in calhallow for 17 years and she and her husband are raising their kids. she's a familiar face in the community. she can recite the neighborhood organizations and all the people who represent them and understands the needs and concerns of our community, small businesses and commercial corridors and has a unique insight into the matters most important to san francisco residents and particularly those in district two. she's always been an admired representative of the district and has beelith her career on drafting policies and not playing politics and earned the respect of her colleagues and built numerous relationships

with a broad ray of organizations and individuals. she will enter the board and the board meeting today in just a few hours, ready to roll for the residents of district two. (applause) for five years kathryn worked in my office as a legislative aid and i know she is the best qualified to represent our nake nake nakeds -- neighborhoods and i witnessed her tenacity. and i know she wants to work on homelessness and housing shortage. she will be a friend to small businesses in district two and a voice for our immigrant community in san francisco and a champion for public safety measures that matter to every single residents and especially the residents of district two.

kathryn has been a fierce advocate for gun control laws, a national leader on this issue i know she'll carry forward at city hall. (cheering) she will make sure that our parks are maintained, our streets and sidewalks are cleaned, and our community centers are supported. from the moment she is sworn in, kathryn will be out there fighting for district two and the city. thank you for joining us today and i'm honored to introduce kathryn stefani and we'll do the swearing in. come on up. (applause)

(dog barking) >> okay. ready to go? (swearing in) (swearing in

(swearing in) (cheering)

>> wow, thank you everybody for being here today. thank you mayor for your confidence in me. this is an opportunity i did not see coming and one i can't pass up. my district needs a supervisor right now and i know the job. i know my community and i know the issues. i know how city hall works. and i am able to hit the ground running. before i spent nine years as a legislative aid in district two, i was advocating for our neighborhoods. the last two years i have been a department head in city hall as your county clerk that gives me a unique perspective on how the laws we pass are carried out and realized outside of the supervisor's chambers. what you don't immediately see on the resume is why. why have i chosen the life of

public service, a life that began when my dad dropped me off at georgetown university at 16 years-old to intern for our congressman. i have always had a deep desire to better the lives from those around me. i come from a place of empathy and connection with others and sense of responsibility and obligation to be in service to others and most of all from an urgent need to act on serious issues that are facing my district, our city and nation as a whole. one of those serious issues being public safety. we all know the car break-ins in the city are out of control. when we moved into our house 17 years ago, broken glass on the street was a rarity. now it's a daily occurrence. just a few months ago my son's friend was mugged in the marina walking home from school.

he's only in the 7th grade. the number of guns on our streets, the fact that our children now routinely face lockdown drills to plan in the event of a potential mass shooter is unacceptable. we have to do better. as a former prosecutor, i understand our criminal justice system and i understand that there must be consequences when people commit crimes. we must provide more resources for our police officers, our da's office and our courts so they can make a difference. the homeless issue in our city is a crisis, we all know that. my daughter cries every time she sees a homeless person. not because she's scared but because she's like me and it's hard for her to see someone suffer. we must see these individuals as human beings in need of help. i believe we can look to our nonprofits as models of what they're doing right. i served on the board of

directors of the homeless prenatal program for six years and their program is something our city can learn from. i look forward to working on the issue day one. and all of the pressing issues facing district two and our city as a whole. i want to thank all of those who have supported me during this time and encouraged me to accept this position. it has been overwhelming and you cannot know how much it means to me. i want to thank lydia for being here today. she is an incredible friend and ally. (applause) and i want to thank andrea, president and founder of merge america for her support as well. (applause) and i see father ken over there, my son's entire 7th grade class,

thank you for being out here as well. i look forward to working on your behalf. (applause) there's so many people i can thank and i will do so later. i cannot thank you all for your support and especially my husband, my children, we agreed to this as a family and we will do this as a family. thank you again mayor farrell for your confidence in me. it's not a job, it's not a title, it has always been a calling. i accept with an abundance of gratitude and promise to represent residents of district two with everything i've got. thank you. (cheering) (applause)

>> mayor farrell: you're beginning to see why it's such a great appointment. catherine mentioned it, we are so lucky to have so many elected officials. father, thank you for being here. i did not see you in the background. amazing pastor. i want to thank mayor shaff for being here and i know you have a strong relationship with catherine. i would like to ask you up to say a few remarks. (applause) >> i met catherine -- sorry,

supervisor -- (laughter) that sounds nice. supervisor. i met the supervisor in 2009 in the 2009 class of emerge california. we were both kind of awkward, dorky policy wonks who bounded immediately because we both had sons named dominic. that's pretty unusual, right? you were five, my dominic was four and gigi you were a hardly seen bump in the belly that grew over our class time and just as we emerged as graduates, so did you gigi. i can't tell you how fortunate you are san francisco to have this incredible leader. and she's incredible for two reasons that i'd like to focus

on today. and, again, i apologize for not being more formal. when you sat in pajamas in a hotel room drinking wine and joking about our age differences, it is really hard to be formal right now with you supervisor. the first reason is -- i cannot think of a better word to describe it, this supervisor is a smarty pants. the amount of knowledge and experience that she is bringing to this position is unparallel. you will find many with passion in their hearts and a commitment to take on these challenges but i cannot think of anyone who brings the resume of actually how to effect change within the city and county government. this is what sets this

supervisor apart. and finally i do have to mention that she is a mother. that we are in a moment, the #metoo moment where we must have uncomfortable conversations and lift up people from the non dominate identity to shed light and to chart a path for a more equitable, welcoming, inclusive society and that must start from leadership. (applause) i can speak from experience that doing this job as a mother is hard. it will not be easy. and when supervisor stefani said that you as a family made this decision together, you as a

family will be doing this job together. i ask everyone here in whatever space is part of your tradition to lift up this family in your prayers. the job of a public official, we all know is a hard one. every day we get up with the hope to solve the unsolvable and we will break the intrackable. every day we get up with that hope and we do it in a public way, with people screaming in our faces, we do it because we know it's the right thing to do. but it is hard and it is very is public. and so, please just know -- i'm sorry, what a bad ass your mom

is. she really is. she is doing this job for all the right reasons, equip with an unbelievable arsenal of experience and with just a sharp brain and a warm heart that is going to make her so incredibly successful. it is my incredible honor to welcome you, to say congratulations in this moment, not just as an emerge sister or fellow elected official, but someone i am really proud to lift up as supervisor of the city and county of san francisco. (applause) >> mayor farrell: thank you.

i want to acknowledge all the elected officials here today, president london breed. (applause) supervisor safai. our district attorney george gaston. supervisor aaron peskin. supervisor katy tang. supervisor hillary ronen. supervisor kim. in representing district two, one of the great pleasures is working with our amazing neighborhood groups and we have some amazing people serving on the boards and amazing leaders that have dedicated their lives leading the neighborhood groups and i want to introduce one of them, she's been amazing to work with, i know she's a good friend of catherines and president of the cal-hallow association,

laurie brooks. (applause) >> hello everyone. this is a complete honor that you have even asked me to do this. i will be a little more formal because i don't want to miss anything. i first met catherine in 2003 when she joined the association board. she was pregnant with her first shylocke child. when i joined a few years early, i too was pregnant with my first child. most people would say that's bad timing to join a board. but in fact, we not only gave birth to our children, we gave birth to ourselves as community leaders. catherine took her legal and political experience and dove in and was a tremendous asset to our board. it didn't take long for others to notice her talent. and of course she was snapped up

to be an aid and the work she did during the tenure gave her the immediate open door to be working for mark. she proved herself as a capable leader. it was a loss to our board but tremendous gain to the district. catherine is smart, she's responsive, she's diplomatic, she's empathetic and she's fiercely protective of the neighborhood's interest. she's a tri athlete that shows how goal oriented she is. she can endure pain and get past the finish line, limping all the way. all these traits and that enormous resume she has will serve the district well. and congratulations to mark for

becoming our interim mayor and thank you for standing by our side for the last eight years. you have always guided and supported the neighbors in whatever issues we brought to you, including things like zoning, lombard street, undergrounding of wires, cell phone tires, parking, traffic, crime, all of it. when we approached mark, he would say what are the issues and how can i support you. sometimes it was pressure that wouldn't benefit him long-term politically but he would stand by us and catherine by his side to make it happen. you are leaving the district in good hands by choosing a very worthy successor. catherine has earned this appointment. her nine years as a legislative aid for district two gives her the credentials and respect.

it's almost an embarrassment of riches to have this window of time with catherine as supervisor and mark as the mayor, let's work together these next several months to make a positive lasting impact on san francisco. catherine as your friend and fellow community organization, i look forward to continuing to raise our families in san francisco and by example, teach our babies who are now young adults and their friends how to protect and preserve the quality of life in our wonderful city by the bay. thank you. (applause) >> mayor farrell: great job. so that concludes our program and catherine and i -- supervisor stefani, apologies, and i would be happy to answer a few questions.

>> [indiscernible] >> mayor farrell: the one thing i know, supervisor stefani is going to be attentive to every issue inside district two. i would suggest off line we have the conversation and make sure she's up to speed. thank you. anybody else? >> [indiscernible] >> i do. i will be running. (cheering) >> mayor farrell: and vick, let me add to that for a second, my number one goal in criteria thinking about district two was

having someone in this seat who would represent the neighborhoods of district two the best. whether that person wanted to run for office or not and catherine does and she has my full support and there is nobody better to represent the residents of district two than supervisor stefani. if nothing else, have a great day everybody. ♪ ♪

[gavel] >> all right. welcome to our land use committee meeting on monday, february 5, 2018. i'm katie tang, the chair of the committee. and we're joined by new vice chair supervisor jane kim. welcome. welcome back. and, of course, returning member ahsha safai. our clerk is victor young. and thank you to s.f.gov tv. any announcements? >> yes. please make sure to silence all cell phones and electronic devices. completed speaker cards and any documents to be included as part of the file should be submitted to the clerk. i would like to note that we currently have a quorum of
