be able to house a ballet academy. if anybody wants anymore history, american ballet theater used to rehearse in that space. the movie, she dances alone was filmed in there. it has its own life and its own history. thank you. i would appreciate your consideration. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much for that information. any other members of the public who wish to comment on item 2? >> good afternoon again supervisors, members of the public. this is star child, outreach director for the libertarian party of san francisco. this item sounds exactly like the type of item that i was talking about in my last comment, where basically the city government is denying

people use of their property through landmark designations that would restrict how they can use it. i can appreciate the sentiment of wanting to save old beautiful architecture. i love old architecture myself, and i hate to see stuff replaced by new, soulless buildings, you know, that it's old and has character and history and so forth, but i think it's really important that we preserve as much as possible people's freedom to do what they want with the spaces that they have. and abridging this freedom often has unintended consequences that people don't consider. you know, every landmark designation, every land use restriction, you know, every zoning restriction contributes to the problem of homelessness. we have thousands of people

living homeless on the streets of san francisco because of the high price of housing, and that price of housing is high and rents are high because the costs have been driven up so much by all these various government measures that make it more difficult for people to own property -- i mean, property tax is a huge burden, and it gets passed along to renters, both residential and commercial in the form of higher rents. and if you reduce the amount of leeway of using spaces to their maximum capacity, it's taking away dwelling units. it's resulting in people not being able to find places to live, and the city spends a quarter of a billion dollars a year in expenses for the homeless, and that is increases

as a result of things like this. >> supervisor tang: thank you. thank you very much. any other members of the public wishing to comment on item 2? okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. so one question that i do have, and i didn't see that the property owner was here in the audience, but you know, we did see in the packet that it looks like the academy of ballet is in support of this. the property owner is not. has there been a conversation between the city and the property owner? >> yes. so the property owner is no longer in opposition, and i do have an e-mail that was sent after the packets were -- you know, after submission, but essentially, the property owner's interested in applying for the mills act. we sat down and talked with him about the potential benefits of landmark designation, like the mills act, use of historical building code, potential legacy business, financial incentives that are available not only to the tenant, but also -- which would be the academy of ballet, but also to the property owner. i can share that e-mail here. it's pretty brief, basically, just indicating that they're no longer in opposition. >> supervisor tang: okay.

well that is good to hear. thank you for that, and i will he ha evan definitely take a look at the e-mail. i think since the property owner is no longer in opposition, that should be fine. supervisor safai, do you have any questions, comments? >> supervisor safai: i wanted to ask a question of the plans department or some of the tenants. it sounds like the ballet academy's been there for a significant number of years. they have applied for legacy business designation? >> so they're in the process, and i know from supervisor sheehy's office that they're in support of that. >> supervisor safai: yeah, because they're a wonderful candidate. they've been there for a significant amount of time. this is the first i'm hearing about it because i don't do ballet, but 30 years, that's a significant amount of time. and you say you were going to provide us with an e-mail?

o oh. >> supervisor tang: thank you. sorry. was just reading through the e-mail. >> supervisor safai: all right. there you go. >> supervisor tang: all right. if there's nothing else, perhaps i can get a motion on this item? >> supervisor safai: yeah. make a motion to send this out to the full board with positive recommendation for designation to 2117 to 2123 market street. >> supervisor tang: okay. that completes that. mr. clerk, are there any other items on the agenda today? >> that completes the agenda for today. >> supervisor tang: okay. thank you. we are adjourned.

hello, everyone, i'm elaine forbes. it's great to see you here today. we're celebrating a 10-year endeavor, 12 years by some count, that has brought us here today to a historic day to celebrate the work that the city has performed with our partner, the san francisco giants, to bring a new mixed income neighborhood to the waterfront. we've also had the helpful support of many, many people from the community. we all know that the late mayor lee would have enjoyed being here today. he was the biggest supporter of the city. he was an advocate for the project. and i believe there bear, he may have been one of the giants number one fans, so we reflect on mayor lee and his legacy and

he would have been proud. this ace project that will help build a water front for everyone and deliver benefits to our residents for years to come. the residents of san francisco and the state will enjoy eight new acres of open space. the rehabilitation of pier 48. thousands of new affordable homes, 40% of which are affordable along our waterfront and much more. the project has created these benefits while recognizing the future challenge of sea level rise. it's adaptable to the rise and for us, it provides an ongoing source of revenue to adapt other areas for the waterfront and the shoreline tax. this was done the san francisco way as a team effort. and we are not surprised about how many port tenants and three-time world champions san francisco giants led our team.

thank you to the giants, to larry bear, to jack bear, to fran weld, to john and so many others from the hometown team for leading a gold standard community project. the giants are in the long game in this community and it showed. it promises a diverse community and in planning we heard from many voices on how the future of the waterfront should be prepared. that included the central waterfront advisory group. the mission bay advisory group. the south beach neighborhood association, they participated in every step of the plan. i see many of our resident stakeholders here today, including ms. katy la del, alice rogers, bruce and so many others that participated. sonny schwartz is here today. there were many city agencies that collaborated. i need to say thank you first and story most to oawd, to ken

rich, todd and adam. and we also will remember today jennifer, she had big vision for the waterfront and enthusiasm for the site. today, we recognize her work effort and can-do attitude. the mayor's office played an integral role in the project to support the benefits of housing, the housing program, the transportation program, and on ward. i really think that this project is emblematic of what with can achieved through a public-private partnership. when we have supervisor jane kim. you were very dedicated to this project throughout and you challenged our team to deliver more affordable housing and we have done so. with a decade in the making, this project had the support of

the mayor and now mayor newsom, the late mayor lee, acting mayor breed who helped us finalize, and now mayor farrell. mayor farrell has supported this project for two terms while on the board of supervisors. we're celebrating many years of hard work and welcome our mayor, mayor farrell. [applause] >> thank you, elaine. and congratulations to you. so, i'm excited to be here to celebrate the signing of this legislation. let's be clear, we all want to talk about the world series coming up here to san francisco. i know, it isn't here, but i'm here to say congratulations. first of all, elaine, congratulations to you and the port team for all your hard work and to larry, you and your team

for all of the hard work. this is emblematic of the best of a collective planning process we have here in the san francisco. this is a city agency willing to be creative with a ton of support and a willing and engaged local partner in the giants. to really come here to celebrate this today. but it's because of the port and the giants and their hard work that we are really here today celebrating what is going to be an amazing project. as you think about the project itself, 21 acres is going to be redone. 1500 new housing units, 40% that are affordable. congratulations to supervisor kim on her hard work on making that happen. [applause] eight acres of new open space. we're going to have teachers and nurses and firefighters and police officers living there, transition age youth is going to be living there. this is a big deal for the city of san francisco and a huge part of what mayor lee was pushing for in the housing units, that he has been pushing for as mayor.

and transportation improvements. you think about the t third line, the $40 million, the new mission bay ferry terminal, which is an amazing resource for the neighborhood and million dollars for workforce development to make sure the children we have growing up in the neighborhoods, they can work in the neighborhoods and they're ready with the job skills they need moving forward. i'm here just to say congratulations to everybody. a number of people to additionally thank. mentioned the giants and the port. i want to thank the entire board of supervisors and president breed for all their work. david chiu for his hard work in legislation that he pushed forward that allowed it to happen. other city departments, todd, where are you? to john ram and planning, ed riskin and the mta. that was a collective effort from the city family. as elaine mentioned, huge thanks

to lieutenant-governor, alan and especially thank in closing to our late mayor ed lee who worked very, very hard on this for his entire time in office. and i just think he would be proud of being here today. congratulations, everyone. [applause] >> thank you, elaine, and thank you, mayor farrell. i'm larry bear from the giants and i have to say this is truly an exciting day for the organization. it has been mentioned, it was a decade in the making. i think maybe a little north, 1, 12 years, i was just sitting here thinking nobody on the giants roster right now was actually on the roster when we started this project. i believe bruce was a rookie manager at the time for the

giants. but really valuable, important projects are worth taking the time and being very carefully done. i have to -- there is a number of people we want to thank because they led with their hearts in making this project happen. they understood the vision, saw the vision and led with their hearts. it's a profound statement when a mixed project can garner 74% of the voters' support in this community, which was the case in the election two years ago. and unanimous support from every commission and every board. many of you we will talk about were part of that, of garnering that support and leading. without the folks we're going to mention today, this would not have happened, it would not have been possible, come together. what we're really most proud of

is the creation taking a surface parking lot, what we used to characterize as a wind swept surface parking lot and creating a new dynamic neighborhood from the parking lot which will serve as a central gathering place, a hub for the surrounding community, for the mission bay community. it grew on the expertise of thousands of created people, dedicated people in this planning process, including our neighbors. which we'll talk about. so leading off the thanks, i would like to thank the project team who worked hard, diligently, long, long hours, lending their expertise in urban planning, engineering, architecture, finance, legal work to create this topnotch project that meets the values of our community. mention the neighbors and the community based organizations,

many are here in the audience today. they've been a voice for the project from the beginning. now the city departments. the city departments have been quite amazing led by the port of san francisco, the mayor's office, economic and workforce development, the city attorney office, the planning department, dpw, mta, all unbelievably collaborative in their work with us through this long process. i want to specifically acknowledge port direct elaine forbes for her amazing work. commission president kim brandon. where is kim? so kim brandon -- [applause] -- kim brandon unlike any of the giants players or bruce, did

precede this project. i did a fact check, because i don't want fake news, 20 years on the san francisco port commission, looking at the progress and what happened to the port through her two decades of service. thank you, kim. and and finally the city leadership. a heart felt thank you to jane kim who authored the legislation and has taken a personal interest in this project from day one. huge thanks to board president london breed for her long time support of mission rock and keeping us on track during crucial moments. thank you to david chiu for spear heading the state legislation that allowed us to do the project. and finally, i want to acknowledge our friend, our late mayor ed lee. very bittersweet here without

him. one of the project's biggest supporters, with us from day one. we are eternally grateful for his leadership and support and we miss him every day. thank you, mayor farrell for making this historic moment for mission rock come true. we're thrilled to move closer to the ground breaking and realizing the vision of all of us here for this project, a decade in the making and now the fun beginsment thank you so much. [applause] >> hello, everybody, my name is london breed, i'm president of the san francisco board of supervisors and i am so excited to be here today. as a former san francisco redevelopment agency commissioner, i know how long these projects, these major infill projects can take. i mean, but looking at mission bay and what we're doing with the shipyard and watching as

this entire neighborhood change and provide more businesses, more housing, more parks, this is really a crown jewel for this particular area. i want to thank the giants for investing in this project, for working with the city, for working with the port. elaine, you're an amazing leader and i've got to thank kimberley brandon and the members of the port commission who spent countless hours listening to public comment, arguing over the details, getting the criticism and look at what we have here today. an amazing project that is doing something we need to do all over the city and county of san francisco. provide 40% affordable housing for low, moderate income families in san francisco. how exciting is that? people who make up to 150% ami. when we think about it, that's a lot of money and it's not a lot of money here in san francisco.

those families still can't afford market rate housing in san francisco. it includes some of the city employees. some of the ballpark workers. i want to see the ballpark workers walking across from their housing in that parking lot into the ballpark. is that a promise? yes. the members of local 2 and the folks who make san francisco such a great place. this is a wonderful day, i'm excited and grateful to my colleagues on the board of supervisors, including mayor farrell and i see supervisor yee and supervisor kim who will be speaking and supervisor jeff sheehy. we all care about making san francisco a wonderful place for each and every one of us, providing more housing, providing spaces like this on the waterfront that are going to be beautiful and accessible to so many with parks and everything else, it's going to

be amazing for city and county of san francisco. i know sonny schwartz has been a part of the project from day one, here we are, ten years later, let's make sure that the future projects don't take this long. thank you all so much. [applause] >> good afternoon, it is really incredibly exciting to be here today after the years as larry and mayor mark farrell have mentioned that have gone into making the project a reality. the portion of the project that i'm the proudest of, this is the first project in san francisco that has committed to a record percentage of 40% affordable and middle income housing. [applause] and i really want to thank the giants for stepping up and being a leader for san francisco. this is our home team.

and they've demonstrated their commitment to san franciscans by saying we're going make sure san franciscans get to live by our ballpark and root for us as we make it to the championship. i want to say that a lot of work went into the process. i should ask someone this, this is really one of the first projects that didn't use redevelopment, that built such a large percentage of units. households that make between $80-150,000 a year. i want to recognize the teachers union, the council community housings or organization, that helped us literally, number by number, over hours in the course of the night, craft a compromise that would pencil out. and i want to recognize the port and the city for sharing the value that would generate the land that would allow more

housing. this is a partnership between the city and the giants. i want to take a moment to thank our community residents who are also here. who have worked on the sidelines of this. to ensure this is a neighborhood that they want to be a part of. i see corrin woods, the chair of mission woods advisory committee. sonny schwartz. alice rogers. part of the south beach rincon. bruce, also a member of the organization. and katy who is not here, chairs the organization as well. i talked a lot about the affordable housing, but this is a mixed use development project that is going to provide retail and small businesses, amenity, open space. the type of neighborhood that is

inkredably excite -- incredibly exciting, providing amenities we need for the mission bay neighborhood. finally, i want to thank the city for all of your work. and the hard work begins now. we have to make sure we get the infrastructure in the ground so the thousands of units of the housing can get built. thank you, everyone, for making this a home run for san francisco. >> thank you to everyone. i understand now we have the honor of signing the legislation. mr. mayor and larry bear, president breed.

ready to roll. all right.

congratulations, everyone. [cheers and applause] >> self-planning works to preserve and enhance the city what kind hispanic the environment in a variety of ways

so the board does not focus on the ramifications of land use restrictions on city departments that have jurisdiction or need to use the restricted land. on the top of the package, question 12, it does ask if there are significant requirements or comments. this item is generally not answered.

but i think putting ccr in city property is a big deal, so much so the acknowledgment of this issue deserves its own question on page 1 of the form so it's not overlooked. let me explain how serious the issue is. the language of the grant contract, section 3, general provisions, use of facility states, grantee agrees to use the land for purposes of the grant and no other use or disposition shall be permitted except as authorized by the legislature of the state of california. in 2014, the board put restrictions on glen park lands to satisfy accepting the grant, but there is a big problem that the city is stuck with. rec and park did not have sole jurisdiction over the property to agree to the grand conditions. the public works has jurisdiction there, now they're barred for 20 years from using the land for the legitimate city purposes by virtue of the ccrs

without getting the legislators approval. please amend your form so the city does not accept money that will compromise other city departments. you must assure that all departments from written up. this is what page 2 looks like. this is where it talks at the top. nobody fills in the form because they don't know it's there. thank you. please put this on the agenda. >> thank you very much, any other members of the public? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> supervisor tang: colleagues? supervisor safai is the only one -- the other committee member. can we get a motion? oh, did you have something else? >> supervisor safai: motion to approve. >> supervisor tang: did you have

something else to add? we had a motion with the committee report, please. >> supervisor safai: motion to approve with committee report. >> supervisor tang: we'll do that without objection. item number 2. >> clerk: resolution opposing california senate bill 827 authored by senator scott winer which would significantly limit san francisco's local ability to recapture critical public value of development projects city-wide and override local planning process. >> the sponsor of the resolution is here today, supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, madame chair, supervisor safai, the individuals who came down here today. they say that all politics is local politics, and that in san francisco all local politics are about land use because of the constraints of the 7 by 7 mile

city. this is a very, very important piece of legislation, unlike other resolutions -- or other state bills we take a position on that generally go to adoption without committee reference calendar. i thought it was important to send this to committee, so that we could all have a robust discussion. i really wanted to create a space for a public discussion. i realize i am an unabashed opponent of the legislation as it is currently crafted, but i think it's important to create a space to have this dialogue and this debate, because this is a piece of state law that while it may look on its surface is about zoning regulations in the state of california, if you look at it carefully, i'll hold this up, disproportionately impacts one

city and county which is the city and county of san francisco. [cheers and applause] and while it is true that the state is expanding in population and that housing is an acute need in crisis throughout the state of california, and that we all need to take our fair share of that housing, particularly affordable housing, this bill is really in many ways a san francisco bill. so i think it's very important that we all have this discussion here and that the board of supervisors makes its position on our former colleague, then supervisor scott wiener, now senator scott wiener, senate bill 827.

i say that in the context of someone on and off the board, for 20 years, where we have wrestled with the very difficult issues of housing and particularly affordable housing. in many manifestations. my colleague, the chair of this committee, supervisor tang pioneered and after two years of effort dealt with a 1979 era vintage law. the state bonus density law and conformed it to san francisco's unique situation with home sf. myself and supervisor mark farrell worked together, collaborated on and had a successful passage of legislation around enabling, encouraging dwelling units. and despite what people heard last week that only 20 of them have been built. that is absolutely untrue.

1600 have been built. we were the city that pioneered inclusionary housing under mark glennos leadership and last year, in 2016, later in 2017, passed some of the most ambitious onsite affordable housing laws in the united states of america. we have pioneered general obligation bonds to deal with affordable housing. san francisco has exceeded the bay area and northern california relative to the production of housing at all levels, unfortunately, we exceed at the luxury housing level, but we do better than any of our neighbors at the low, very low, and moderate income levels. i look at this bill and i'm deeply dis-turnbulled dis/* --

disturbed is because what san franciscos have learned is the decision of displacement. we learned that in the international hotel. we learned that in the a-2 and redevelopment and the legacy of justin herman, which we have addressed symbolically relative to names and places. and yet, this bill, senate bill 827, puts us and precipice -- and admittedly so -- of getting back into the policy making of displacement and the ruining of lives. and you i don't say that lightly because i understand, and i acknowledge that supply is part of the issue and as a supervisor, maintaining the affordable housing that we have is also an issue whether it's the academy of cart gobbling up

sro hotels for student dormitories, whether it's gentryification, those are all things we have to address at the same time we add supply. and it's not any supply. it is affordable supply for people who live and work in the city and county of san francisco. so i want to have this conversation today and i also want to acknowledge that senator wiener has made a number of amendments to senate bill 827, those amendments have recently been published. i also want to say that san francisco has learned over time that when we enter into the planning process, when this committee and predecessors to that committee approve area plans, and neighborhoods plans,

that include upzoning, that we at the dawn of the 21st century have learned one profound lesson. which is that when the city or a public agency confers benefit on a landowner, we have obligation, a responsibility to recapture that value for the good of the public. what does that mean? well, that means investment in public transit. that means investment in affordable housing. that means investment in complete neighborhoods. and whether it's central soma plan which actually attempts to do that and to derive that value recapture for a host of public benefits, what senate bill 827 does not do, what home sf actually did do, is recapture that value.

if we are going to use major transit hubs, then we are going to continue to burden our public transit infrastructure. then if we are taking a building that right now can be zoned up to 55 feet and we almost double that zoning capacity, this is not a giveaway to developers, this is conferring massive value on property owners and we must recapture that value. i want to hear from the public today. i understand that there are opponents and proponents of this. i am in receipt of the letter that is signed by many, many technology and gig companies, albeit some of the biggest ones, including apple, did not sign on and i don't want to politicize this, but i note that ron conway

is a signatory to that letter, supporting senate bill 827. and i understand that those companies feel they have and indeed they do have a moral obligation to take care of the impacts that the tech economy is bringing to san francisco, but i think that colleagues, there is a better, more sophisticated way to do that. then let me leave before we turn this over to you, madame chair, and to hear from the public. there is also one profound legal notion in the state of california which is the notion that cities and counties bring about their own destiny. and there is no better place than around land use. now, we just had a bill, senate bill 182, that unfortunately was

passed by the state legislature and signed into law. which prevented this city and county and municipalities across the state from charging a business license to transportation network companies, lyft and über. and our city attorney asserted our independent constitutional charter authority and we brought suit against senate bill 182 because that is a sovereign right of the city and county of san francisco. and should senate bill 827 not be significantly amended or die in the california state legislature, i would respectfully suggest to our city attorney and my colleagues that we follow the same route as senate bill 182. [cheers and applause] i do have -- i do have one other

thing -- >> sorry, reminder to the office, use your spirit fingers if you feel inclined to express support or opposition. thank you. >> supervisor peskin: i have one other thing to say, i have the honor to serve on the state of california coastal commission and spent three days last week in southern california at the coastal commission meeting. and was amazed that my colleagues, half of whom of that 12-member body hail from the southern portion of the state of california. pointed out to me that senate bill 827 disproportionately impacts lower income communities and communities of color. as a matter of fact, one of my colleagues said this is urban renewal 2.0 and she said to me, how dare your senator re-zone compton, california. and i was not thinking about it in that lens, because i was

thinking about it relative to 96% of san francisco, but i also wanted to express that because it's not just about san francisco. but when you look at the map that i just held up, if this is about having more suburban communities do their fair share, when you look down to san matteo and santa clara counties, it is a thin little ribbon along the 1010 corridor. this is not about density equity, this is an attempt to rezone san francisco. and i say that is as someone who is proud of the rezoning efforts where we'll building thousands of units of housing on the waterfront and bay view hunter point and treasure island and mission rock and pier 70. we're cranking it out. we're doing it. supervisor tang, as i said

earlier, did home sf. former supervisor farrell and myself, did accessory dwelling unit. it's not as though we have our heads buried in the sand, with that over to chair tang. >> supervisor tang: thank you, supervisor, peskin, i would say that there are many points in the comments that i do agree with, but i do also want to commend senator scott wiener, because on his time as member of the board of supervisors -- thank you, i know that you are very riled up, but please listen to what i have to say, ok, on his time as a member of the board of supervisors, i know that supervisor wiener was a huge proponent of trying to create more affordable housing here in san francisco, supporter of home sf, which i worked on, and now as a state senator i understand and appreciate his leadership for i think, really in the previous comments made, having other cities do their

fair share in terms of building affordable housing, especially as we bear the brunt of a lot of the telephoning back and forth -- transportation back and forth. i think we need to ask other cities to rise to the occasion as well, but we spent two years or more on home sf. and that in itself was controversial when we began because, yes, there were height limit increases proposed, but there was a cap. and there was a lot of strings attached to that voluntary program, meaning you had to build a percentage of affordable housing, certain unit sizes so family size, not so many one bedroom and studios. we wanted to make sure small businesses were protected. that tenants were protected. all those are not there as part of the bill and those are the issues that i have with bill

827. after public comment, i have amendments and we'll continue this dialogue with senator wiener, but because there are so many people here for public comment, i'm going to call them up unless supervisor safai has comments. i'm going to ask that public comment is limited to one minute each because we have so many. unless you would like to not comment at all. because we may have a quorum issue. public comment at one minute each. with that, public comment is here. i have cards, george, tess, ann, patricia, richard, monica, please come on up if i have called your name. i will call more afterwards. >> san francisco is the second densest city in the nation and this legislation proposed by scott wiener would penalize a

few cities, not the suburbs to encourage commercial and do not building housing. both bills were developed by developers and speculators and we need to, as a board of supervisors, representing san franciscans, oppose this, dump it, and start fresh. >> marina, oppose this for the following reasons. number one, it's a ruse concerning housing. number two, until you straighten out the issue, until you straighten out the issues concerning affordable housing plans, this is a real use. there are multi-numbers of buildings that have been built with -- they pay the money and have all high end housing instead of the money going to

the low-income projects and i think there are hundreds of buildings that have not paid into the fund. number three, is i'm tired of ruses. we need to have legislation that is equitable. i am tired of the wording of scott wiener's 824 as it is, it has to be completely reworded. [bell ringing] >> thank you very much, next speaker please. >> ann harvey, speaking of myself, my husband, who is a professor at usf and our two sons who we raised in the city, born and raised and still work here in the city. i was born in new york city, i grew up in philadelphia, went to school in boston, and all these cities, came to berkeley in san

francisco and it was beautiful. the one thing i found bad about san francisco was the fontana, but i grew up, i was in boston, a student -- >> you have 30 seconds left. mr. clerk, if you could reset the clock due to the confusion to 25 seconds. or i think it was 28. >> it was the time of the big unrest in berkeley and i thought it was urban warfare. i was so surprised. i couldn't believe it. and then we moved to san francisco and i've loved it and we stayed here. we've never considered moving anywhere else, i hate to see this town turned into a place like new york city. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you, a couple more speaker cards. david, jerry, paul, dia a
