really invested in great thoughts on products that they want to produce and introduced to the world. so it has to do with, you know, the education. it has to do with the number of startups. it has to do with the number of unicorn companies that are not yet public but valued over a billion dollars in phantom starch in san francisco. we are the top producers of those companies. looking ahead, you know, we see san francisco as a place -- it is a place where these companies are fostered, and with change occurring at such a fast pace in the way we live and work today, san francisco was really at the forefront of all of this. i think that that's really what gives us the momentum to be a city of the future. next i will ask kristin. in your mind, what make san francisco unique? >> there are a lot of things,

right? there's lots of things about the city that makes it unique. when we think about it in the terms of our business, while we have built our nd centres in our global offices, we've expanded our sales force to be in a region as well. i think that very much, is still at the level of understanding of product and technology innovation, you know, those products projects still remain here in san francisco because we have the opportunity to hire talent out of universities and also to be able to bring in engineers and product designers and product marketers who have experience, you know, doing these things for decades now, right? as san francisco has been, you know, not just on the edge of the original silicon, you know, but the internet, and now what we are moving forward into which is a world of apps and connected

devices and things like that. i think for us, you know, san francisco is still really unique in that regard. i think that, you know, how did san francisco become unique? i think a lot of it is, you know, and cultural in terms of the openness that the city has to welcome people in, to welcome business in and making this an environment where you can get connected and you can get the help that you need. it's very unique. and the ability to work with the city to continue to improve, you know, the communities that we are in. and in no other city, have we had that level of partnership. trust is really important and developing culture within the company, and being able to create a culture that is lasting and that is focused on, you know, helping employees be empathetic and be in the community and really giving back

and working. for us, you know, that partnership with the city has been a very unique. on the fun side, right, our employees love that, you know, we had a large float at the pride parade on sunday, you know, it's a great opportunity for us to be out in the community in that way. and a lot of other initiatives like that that don't exactly exist anywhere else in the world. i would say, from our customer's perspective, we are developing a new center to bring executives and from around the world. san francisco, for them holds this, you know, magic as being a real center of global trade and not in the obvious ways that perhaps hong kong, or london once where. this is where the world comes for innovation. we get to benefit from that and also be in a part of that flow however, it looks. >> really interesting. partnership i am hearing a lot,

right? we are still diverse and have a great culture. let's talk about retail now. sophie, what do you think -- how do you think things will change, and what is retail going to look like for the future, especially in san francisco? >> i think we have seen there has been a big change in retail in these recent years. i think you will agree with me on that one. we see that online sales are becoming the very predominant on the retail market. that there is a big bank occupancy rate in san francisco. it is hard to find real estate. big boxes, notably. we have surface area between traditionally 50,000 and -- 15,017,000 square feet. is not an easy thing to find in the city or the bay area. players the question of how do we position ourselves? what do we want to do it san francisco? and when we will be expanding at a later stage, where will we rest with the model we are building here? we are a city-based model.

wingfield that, today, our customers that we call our users, our ambassadors. everyone has to be ambassadors of our different products. they need to have a convenience that they want to have. they need to be able to purchase online or in the store, with the best quality service they could have. they also need to feel they have a personal dialogue with us that we are actually there with them doing sports with them in their communities. we feel that the retail activity, and the specific locations will take less space and we will highlight what we can bring online, and our stores will be a window to our e-commerce. what we are trying to engage in is the community. it is a really important word we share. to be in the community with our sports users so they can have access to our products online and meet us in our story. >> thank you.

let's touch on that too. what trends do you see? you guys talked a lot about what we see different in the retail space. the thing is, i wanted to talk about trends in products. >> sure. is a very interesting space over here. our products are starting to be known. wif we have our own designprodu. we feel that there is something that we have to explain about products that are technical, but are affordable compared to other products that can be very, very technical and great products, but nothing -- not just on the same way. for us there is a real story to tell about who we are and how we sell our products and how we design them. it san francisco it is demanding in terms of what type of products you can offer. our big challenge is to make an offer that is perfect for san francisco. we feel it is one of the most demanding markets in terms of sporting goods.

because of the variety of sports we can practice here that is our aim. that is why engaging in our communities and the sports world is very much targeted on communities and talking to people. it is very important to make sure they have the right offer. >> san francisco is a demanding market. susan, how does san francisco -- how are we competitive compared to other cities in california? and in other gateway cities in the u.s.? >> it is all about the talent here if you look at the statistics, the proportion of people with a college degree in san francisco is higher than the national average. it is higher in san francisco than the east bay and the south bay. it is also the millennial workforce. san francisco has, i think, 30% of people in that 22 to 27 age range we hear about what a low

unemployment rate san francisco has. companies are really challenged to hire the people that they need to grow and to grow their businesses. i think that one of the things that makes companies globally, and companies around the country feel like they have to be here is because the people here are very talented. we have the talent that people want to hire. young people want to live here because it is a great place to live, you know, the whether, -- the weather, the culture, the diversity, everything, you know, the places you can reach in a few hours. you know, you can go skiing or to the beach. all of the things that are available here that make all of us want to live in this area, i think like a draw that talent. the talent draws the businesses because they, you know, want to grow. >> that's good. good to know. i feel old all of a sudden.

>> the thing is, with that in mind, what does san francisco offer to compete in the global market? the city itself has been a great partner. can you elaborate on that queen. >> yap garrick at the same time, there is a lot of talent here locally. it is challenging, right? san francisco is more expensive than it ever has been. the ability for our employees to live in the city, you know, is increasingly complicated. i think that for us, that is aware we really look to the city organizations, ideally like global s.f. who will help bring the kind of thinking about how do we develop in an economically inclusive way which, you know, is a concern for a company, even like ours, which is growing well, you know, i think it something that we can't turn a blind eye to. the willingness of the city need to engage in that conversation,

like i said, our office is at six and market. if any if you walk down a part of market street, you see the challenges of homelessness and drug abuse, and that, you know, these are super challenging thing is on the city continues to be there and work with us on that to help those people and to make it inclusive, even on that small scale. it is really important. taking that sort of commitment to the city as a whole and the economy as a whole is really encouraging. it shows the city has bought in to making all of a successful. >> great. sophie you have something you want to add to that? >> no, i agree with what kristin said. i think there is really a big change that's happening in the city. i think that many companies are coming to the city. we are located inside the city. and also in oakland because we have a warehouse in oakland.

i went through that area and it is really great to be able to develop and expand inside san francisco which is a wonderful city. and we like being in the city. that's why we chose to have our first store inside the city which is not what we usually do. we really wanted to be inside san francisco. is a great opportunity to be inside the city. >> that's great. i think we have members here as well. i hope you heard all the comments today. we will continue to work with you all caps clearly. kristin, sophie, we definitely appreciate you have chosen san francisco to be your headquarters, at least to have your office here. and the chamber and the city look forward to continue to work with you. is there anything else any of you would like to add? any questions from the audience? otherwise we are moving right along to our next speaker so we can have champagne. [laughter] opa. thank you. sorry, yes. >> sorry about that. i am james bridgeman.

the cochair of the san francisco zurich city committee. the comment is to put a plug-in for sister cities. we have 19 in the city and we do a lot of work with bringing businesses here. we could go on for a long time on that. my question to you is how do you workers afford the cost of apartments and things like that in the city. a two bedroom apartment cost more than $500,000 a month -- $500,000 -- $5,000 a month. >> as an incredibly tough challenge. i think homeownership or homeownership affordability is less than 15%. i see people that are on my team struggling to figure it out. if you are young, you have a roommate, you know, there were headlines the other day about $117,000 considered low income for a low income family of four,

which is astonishing. i also think that, you know, people figure it out. there's definitely a housing shortage. not just in san francisco, not just in the bay area, you see this happening in other markets all over the country. maybe nowhere so severe as it is here. we see people, you know, moving further out living in the city with roommates or all the things that people do. it is definitely a huge issue that is impacting businesses. we do see people moving out of the bay area. those people -- we also see people moving in. the people moving and have higher incomes. so it's certainly a challenge. >> we have developers in the room today too. note this, please. any other questions from the audience? no? ok. we are moving on. thank you ladies. [applause]

i would like to introduce our next speaker who will be closing our program. hans gallant. >> thank you. thank you for placing me between the champagne and the panel. [laughter] very briefly like i'm honored to be here today. and very grateful for such a big audience to focus everyone's attention on the launch of global s.f. from its very inception, san francisco has been an international city. angel island and alcatraz. with landmarks of immigration and native occupation. they are just want to have the many reminders of our area's international past. today, my migration to the city

is positive. largely due to international arrivals. san francisco has always been, and will always be international. much of the conversation today, however was about the topic of san francisco's competitiveness as a global city. when i personally first arrived here, i too was raising this question, and turned to my friends asking, what does it take for san francisco to be competitive as a global city? interestingly, i got two answers. the first one was, isn't it already? or the second one was, why should it be? these two answers highlight a polarization of views that, at this juncture in the history of san francisco, is not uncommon. they als.they also illustrate ts complexity. the conversation about san francisco's competitiveness park

is a global city today, illustrates that competitiveness itself, and the sustainability is not a foregone conclusion. this opportunity for great work to be done. there's opportunity to embrace and integrate and leverage the precious assets the city is endowed with. it is diversity. it is talent. it is natural environment. business and political community, but above all, it is culture and it is spirit. having the support of mayor farrell and mayor elect london breed, the city family, as well as international consulate trade officers, and sister cities, global s.f. will have the unique ability to bridge it from the public, into the private sector. both locally and internationally. all in an effort to create jobs to support harmonious development, to balance it against the goals of sustainability, resiliency and

protecting what makes this city special. the organization is having a great start and a great team. all ingredients for success. it also has a tall order to fulfil. a tall order that can only be achieved with your continuous and generous support. please join the city and my fellow board members darlene, and her team, in supporting global s.f. to support -- to start today by raising a glass. [laughter] >> we have champagne in the back.

>> here, you can have mine. global s.f. talk too much success in the omission, you become a much studied example with your local and global impact. me you truly make sense -- make san francisco the best place -- place for business and life. may you do us all proud to. off you go, global s. off -- global s.f. [applause]

>> everyone deserves a bank account. in san francisco, anyone can have a bank account, things to an innovative program, bank on s.f. >> everyone is welcome, even if you are not a citizen or have bad credit to qualify for a bank account is simple. just live or work in san francisco and have a form of id. >> we started bank on s.f. six years ago to reach out to folks in the city who do not have a bank account. we wanted to make sure they know they have options which should be more low-cost, more successful to them and using chat catchers.

>> check cashing stores can be found all over the city, but they're convenient locations come with a hidden price. >> these are big. >> i remember coming in to collect -- charged a fee to collect a monogram. >> people who use check catchers, particularly those who use them to cash their paychecks all year long, they can pay hundreds, even a thousand dollars a year just in fees to get access to their pay. >> i do not have that kind of money. >> i would not have to pay it if i had a bank account. >> bank accounts are essential. they keep your money saved and that helps save for the future. most banks require information that may limit its pool of qualified applicants. encouraging to turn to costly

and unsafe check captures. >> i do not feel safe carrying the money order that i get home. >> without a bank account, you are more vulnerable to loss, robbery, or theft. thankfully, the program was designed to meet the needs of every kind, so qualifying for a bank account is no longer a problem. even if you have had problems with an account in the past, have never had an account, or are not a u.s. citizen, bank on s.f. makes it easy for you to have an account. >> many people do not have a bank account because they might be in the check system, which means they had an account in the past but had problems managing it and it was closed. that gives them no option but to go to a cash -- check catcher for up to seven years. you want to give these people second chance. >> to find account best for you, follow these three easy steps. first, find a participating bank

or credit union. call 211 or call one of our partner banks or credit unions and ask about the bank on s.f. account. both -- most bridges will have a sign in their window. second, ask about opening an account through bank on s.f.. a financial partner will guide you through this process and connect you with the account that is best for you. third, bring some form of identification. the california id, for an id, or your passport is fine. >> now you have open your account. simple? that is exactly why it was designed. you can access your account online, set up direct deposit, and make transfers. it is a real bank account. >> it is very exciting. we see people opening up second accounts. a lot of these people never had account before. people who have problems with bank accounts, people without

two ids, no minimum deposit. we are excited to have these people. >> it has been a great partnership with bank on s.f. because we are able to offer checking, savings, minimarkets, certificates, and loans to people who might not be about to get accounts anywhere else. even if you have had a previous account at another financial institutions, we can still open an account for you, so you do not need to go to a check cashing place, which may turn to two percent of your monthly income. >> you can enroll in free educational services online. just as it -- visit sfsmartmoney.org. with services like financial education classes and one-on-one meetings with advisers, asset smart money network makes it easy for you to learn all you need to know about managing,

saving, investing, and protecting your money. the network offers access to hundreds of financial aid programs. to help their eruptions, fill out the quick questionnaire, and you will be steered to the program you are looking for. >> who want to make sure everyone has the chance to manage their money successfully, keep their money safe, and avoid getting ripped off. >> it sounds very good. i think people should try that one. >> to find out more, visit sfsmartmoney.org or call 211 and ask about the bank on s.f. program. >> now you can have a bank account. open one today.

>> when i open up the paper every day, i'm just amazed at how many different environmental issues keep popping up. when i think about what planet i want to leave for my children and other generations, i think about what kind of contribution i can make on a personal level to the environment. >> it was really easy to sign up for the program. i just went online to cleanpowersf.org, i signed up and then started getting pieces in the mail letting me know i was going switch over and poof it happened. now when i want to pay my bill, i go to pg&e and i don't see any difference in paying now. if you're a family on the budget, if you sign up for the regular green program, it's not going to change your bill at all. you can sign up online or call. you'll have the peace of mind knowing you're doing your part

>> supervisor tang: good afternoon, everyone. welcome it our land use committee meeting of july 9, 2018. i'm katy tang, chair of this committee. to my right, supervisor kim, and we want to wish her a very happy

birthday and thank her for joining us, in spite of it being her birthday. and we have supervisor safai as well. and our clerk is erica major. any announcements? >> clerk: please be sure to silence all cell phones and electronic devices. any speaker cards and copies of any documents should be submitted to the clerk. items acted upon today will appear on the july 17 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. >> supervisor tang: i will make this announcement later, but want to announce that items 6-8 related to sent sentcentral som.

>> clerk: item 1 is review of downtown and affordable housing projects notification requirements for review of alterations and to historical landmarks and in conservation districts. >> supervisor tang: thank you. >> supervisor kim: i will make a motion to continue this item. conversations are ensuing between parties to work this out and so we want to give all the stake holders additional time. i don't know if ms. chang has anything further to say? >> no. we're working on it. >> supervisor tang: we'll open up item 1, any members of the public wish to speak. seeing none, closed. oh, all right. i will reopen item 1 for public comment. come on up.

>> i'm going to get my medicare next week, so it's a sign that i need my medicare. i want to reiterate that section 311 as it currently stands that the 30-day notice period for the plans, alteration plans, demolition, new construction, anything under 311 by the 30-day notice should continue as it is and plans should be mailed to residents, neighbors, particularly, most important for adjacent neighbors to see the plans early on in the process. that's basically what i want to reiterate. >> supervisor tang: thank you. thank you very much. any other members of the public that wish to comment on item 1. seeing none, public comment is closed. >> supervisor kim: make a motion for the call of the chair.

>> supervisor tang: so moved and without objection. >> clerk: tone 2 is building codes accessory dwelling units and making appropriate findings. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. and i will call up planning staff in a moment, but just by way of background, i know there's been a lot of talk about accessory dwelling units and modifications to the planning code around that. over the years, our office has especially felt that a.d.u.s has been a great way to add affordable housing in our city's housing stock. the most affordable, should be the easiest, but since the legalization program has taken place, we've found and heard that many sponsors are hesitant to create or legalize existing accessory dwelling units or there are hiccups that they encounter over the process if they're in the process of

legalization. after listening to people and groups in terms of challenges that they encountered, planning staff worked with my office and i want to thank the planning department for their work on this. but over the course of time, we've tried to identify what the barriers are

>> i will go through them one by one. so first, to allow expansion of a.d.u.s within the buildable envelope. currently, for most of the a.d.u.s, most of the a.d.u.s have to be in the envelope and it would allow expansion within the buildable envelope. the second amendment is a very -- it's a qualification amendment related to an existing amendment in the ordinance that would allow expansion of a.d.u.s

without neighbor notification. the proposed modification is to suggest another section of the code, which is 136c to list them as permit objections. number three is corner lots. the modification would allow one store expansion of stand-alone garage structures limited to existing footprints. this was -- this was added to the ordinance per supervisor tang's request and planning staff made that recommendation and planning commission approved that recommendation as well. number four, is to clarify that, again, another clarification item. to clarify dormers in existing garages or structures to a.d.u.s

and allow expansions even if the structures are in the required rear yard. number five, about city requirements and it's to allow a.d.u.s to pay a fee for requirements and same provisions in authorized units undergoing legalization. number six, something that the planning commission discussed, so that the units should remain accessory. and number seven, is recommendation with regard to the legalization program and it's to remove an existing eviction loophole that exists in the legalization program. so the recommendation is to remove the prohibition and legalization for no-fault evictions have occurred and amend the planning code and ordinance to clarify that it

applies in authorized units and, two, to require the units to be offered to previous tenants evicted, similar to provisions for capital improvements and owner-moving evictions that exists. that includes the recommended modifications from the planning commission. i'm here for any questions. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much and thank you, again, for all of your work on this. so i just wanted to summarize what the original proposed legislation was and what amendments i will propose today. you heard the planning commission's recommendations and some of the recommendations we're taking and some not. so i'm going to go off the order of the summary sheet i provided to colleagues, but number one, legislation proposed to eliminate street tree requirement to speed up the approval for a.d.u.s. we heard from a lot of project sponsors that they had trouble obtaining the bureau of urban

forestry person's time to come out to site the tree. and so -- we also heard that, of course, our city, we want to plant more trees. so the amendment that i will propose today is to allow project sponsors to pay an in lieu fee for the trees instead, so it will still go into a fee that will fund trees being planted in general in our city. secondly, we're not changing anything about this, but we had in the legislation allowed for zoning administrator waiver to permit insulation of a window facing an open area that is 225 square feet, with no horizontal direction being less than 9 feet. this is getting a little detailed here, but that's in the original legislation and basically, the reason for that is because it's been a common issue where common sponsors cannot meet the 15x15 requirement, exposure

requirement, for a.d.u.s. so we're giving flexibility on exposure there. item three is relateded to bicycle parking. we heard from project sponsors that there had been difficulty meeting bike parking requirement, so we're allowing a building with no new corridors to use a 3-foot corridor and allow vertical parking to satisfy the biking requirement. the fourth component of the legislation is to allow the addition of dormers. if you need a picture, we have it in our handout or planning may want to put it on the overhead. there's a specific definition for dormer windows, but we allow them when a structure or growth is converted to a.d.u. without neighborhood notification even if it extends to the required year yard. so what we're doing today in land use is i would like to clarify the decision for dormers

when converting to a.d.u.s would allow such expansion even if the structures are in the required rear yard. and so the definition for dormers is, again, very specific. i think it's, what, 8x8 or something. planning staff can correct me if i'm wrong. and there are other requirements not related to the legislation that they would have to meet. another component of our legislation is that we allow the expansion of a.d.u.s under cantilevered rooms in the rear yard. this was in the original legislation, but what i'm proposing today in land use is a mandatory pre-app meeting. we've heard concerns about eliminating the requirements, so, today, we're going to propose an amendment if you are creating an a.d.u. under a

cantilevered room and/or deck. we're also amending to allow the filling in under a cantilevered room or deck adding an obstruction with an a.d.u. currently, it is not an allowed obstruction. we're also just doing one amendment to ensure that single-family homes maintain a rear yard depth of 25% and no less than 15 feet. most of our legislation is a.d.u.s for multiunit buildings, but we wanted to make sewer that there's still a rear yard for single-family homes. another component of our legislation is to -- was originally to allow more than one -- sorry, to allow more than one unauthorized unit to be permitted if it meets code requirements. and so that is something that will still remain in our

legislation. item 7 is we're codifying the interpretation for unauthorized units that cannot be legalized. there are some cases where there's not a path to legalization, such as an area that doesn't permit residential uses. and so the zoning administrators determine if a unit cannot be legalized under the planning code, it may be removed administratively as the planning commission could not require that the owner legalize the unit if it was not under the planning code. so we want to codify something that's been in existing practice. number eight, regarding corner lots, we wanted to be able to allow up to one-story expansion of an existing legal, nonconforming structure. so, again, it may be more helpful to see a visual of this, but this is something that we are talking a planning commission recommendation for.

item 9, we are allowing for the expansion of a.d.u.s within the buildable envelope. that is something that will be an amendment that i plan on making based on the planning commission recommendation. the 10th item is, we are requiring in our legislation that planning department, fire department, and building department be present in preapplication meetings with sponsors for a.d.u.s. we heard a lot that project sponsors had to go back and forth between architects and different apartments to figure out what they need to do to meet building code requirements and so forth. so we wanted to make sure that all parties were there in the same room when the project sponsor thought about creating an a.d.u. however, we have it have our building code amendmentses to trail this because that's where the language is housed. we were proposing a.d.u. in a

newly built structure of three units or less. but we are actually going to remove this provision as part of our legislation because we heard a lot of concerns from the planning commission hearing about adding new a.d.u.s as part of new construction. so i apologize that this is a lot that we just went through. but that is in summary and overview of the legislation as well as amendments that i will be proposing today. a couple of things we are not taking is the recommendation from planning regarding legalization of units with a prior eviction. the reason why we're not doing that today is that is in the admin code and it is something that we will considerate a future date. but today, we're interested in making changes to the planning code. and also, not taking a recommendation for a side threshold for a.d.u.s.

that would apply to new construction and so i'm make a motion to remove that from new construction. with that said, those are all the legislative changes. i do know that my staff and planning and d.b.i., fire, and so forth, have been embarking upon multiple meetings in terms of a.d.u.s and trying to make that process a lot more smooth for project sponsors. so i want to thank them for that ongoing work that you will not see on this paper. with that said, i wanted to see if marcel wanted to come up to talk about a new process at planning regarding if a.d.u.s are created and they result in either parking or storage or laundry removal. that was a concern that was raised. if you could speak to the new process in planning. >> thank you. department staff. i will briefly give you an overview on this process. currently at d.b.i., they

require a screening form, which precedes the ability to file a permit for a.d.u.s. working with d.b.i. and planning, we've established a new procedure that requires an owner affidavit that requires the owner to acknowledge the existence of housing services, justified by the rent ordinance of san francisco and the removal of that requires just cause. and if the project to add the a.d.u.s would potentially remove said housing services, there's a notification requirement to tenants in the building and part of the procedure of filing this screening form would be to submit this information as well as the owner signing this affidavit. this has been implemented starting july 2 for all the permits to be filed. and planning is working with sponsors and owners to

retroactively update existing permits under review. >> supervisor tang: thank you for that. i'm glad we have this in place now. so that's a summary. and if colleagues have any questions or we can go to public comment. >> i wanted to ask one question, for the mandatory preapplication notice you mentioned, tess only for infilling under cantilevered rooms in rear yard, correct? >> supervisor tang: yes. thank you for that clarification. i have georgia shudish, michael murphy, jeremy schaub, george wooding, rose hillson, anastasia noplis. come on up. >> good afternoon. i gave a handout to ms. major. a lot things that you mention the, you

covered. just to say, you know, accessory dwelling unit could stand for affordable dwelling unit and that's the concept of this. that's why a minimum to maximum size makes a certain amount of sense. i understand what you did not doing it in new construction and i'm glad you did that. i don't know if the word proposed is still in there. if it's a problem or it needs a definition, but anything that involves a demolition should be looked at very closely. the -- this will sound a little crazy, but when people add an a.d.u., and i've seen this a lot when second units are added, they put in a refrigerator that doesn't have a freezer. they put a wine refrigerator in a second unit. i don't see how anyone could have a refrigerator, even with a tiny freezer for ice cubes or ice cream. my point is, people put minimal

refrigerators in and the so-called second unit never hits the market. and they pass. they get their certificate of occupancy with a wine refrigerator. and i think it's a little loophole. i don't know if you can do that and be that persnickety and precise in your ordinance, but there is something to think about in terms of what kind of a kitchen you have in the a.d.u.s. i hope at some point, you will consider a minimum and maximum size because of the affordability issue. thank you very much. >> hello. my name is michael murphy. i'm a resident of the richmond district and retired judicial attorney for the court of appeal first district. there is much to like in this ordinance, but it has one significant omission. it fails to bring the san francisco ordinance in compliance with state law regulating a.d.u.s for

single-family homes. three years ago when the planning commission produced an a.d.u. manual, the options for a.d.u.s in single-family homes were limited and unattractive. the following year, california legislature enacted legislation mandating a wider range of practical options. sadly, san francisco failed to comply with state law. ordinance 95-17 announced the purpose of complying the state law. but, in fact, made no meaningful concession to the law. the a.d.u. manual was not revised. i must call your attention to the fact that the city attorney put its stamp of approval on ordinance 95-17. i have sent to you a memo by way of an email before this meeting showing that the ordinance is, in fact, widely in conflict with state law.
