to share this special, special day with me. i also have another cheat sheet i have to check. we are so lucky to have an amazing city clerk, angela calvillo. [applause] and her staff, not only the sheriff, deputy sheriff but a clerk office. a day like this is a lot of work and you have been so accommodating to us so thank you all for that. so i wouldn't be here without a couple of folks who are sitting out here. i just gott got emotion a two pe who took me in when i was a kid and i did not have a place to live. that is bernie and elinor burke. [applause]

>> they're pretty great. i'm very lucky to have you in my life. to have you two in my life. but i do get easily re. i would like to acknowledge and talk a little bit about two women who are not here today, but who have influenced my life in profound ways. my mother was a very important character in this campaign. i talked a lot about her. she died actually during the course of the campaign. my mother struggled with mental illness for most of her life. the reason i did not have a place to live as a teenager was

her struggles with mental illness. many of you know this, you read the heath nights story or live in strict 8 and had her show up at your doorstep, she spent time in a homeless shelter. when i was older, i was able to intervene in her life and get her into a slightly better place. a much better place. the experience of having that person in my life and seeing the reality of the mental health challenges to folks struggle with has left me with a real certainty that there are people in this world who cannot take care of themselves and it is our job to take care of them. [applause] housing is necessary but it is not sufficient. and so one of the first things i did after being elected as

supervisor was to go up to sacramento, along with our mayor elect to testify and say we're 1045 which is a bill that will expand conserveto rships. it is a tool. it's controversial and complicated. my colleagues have different feelings about it and i look forward to engaging in conversations with them overtime. i do believe if we chose to implement this tool locally it will call our bluff. it's not enough, of course, to say we're going to do conservetorships. do you make the resources available to ensure you provide care for the people who need it? we know and the folk folks who e concerned remember that when we institutionalize on a mass basis people who were different or unwell that is not a history we should be proud of. i think the san francisco in

2018 can do better. i think we can do better than we did in the 50s and we can do better than we're doing now. [applause] that is a strong commitment of mine. the other person who i think got short shipped in this campaign was my grandmother. my grandmother, esther, is the strongest person who i have ever known. she was a holocaust survivor. when the war broke out she was young. she had a child three months before the war broke out. that child was my dad. somehow my grandmother kept herself and my dad alive through those six years of hell. at the end, her parents were dead, her husband, my grandfather was head and most of her brothers and sisters were dead. she lost her home, her farm, everything. she had lost basically her whole

life except this one little kid who she loved very much, my dad. after six years in displaced persons camps in europe, they came to the united states and my grandmother had that typical american immigrant story where she worked and scraped and saved and built a new life for herself and her family and ultimately for me. i learned many things from my grandmother. i learned about and this corny but the promise of this country and what it's meant here in the united states and around the world to so many people. i also learned she loved this country. she was also very aware of its challenges. she con understand as a county as wealthy as this country and a country she loved so much could have so many poor people. this was at a time when the gap between rich and poor in the united states was narrowing as opposed to now when it's

expanding. those values have been passed on to me from my grandmother and they're very important to me. the most important lesson that i think was the experience of my grandmother's generation shows us is that the fabric of civilized life of decency and civility and human beings treating each other well is surprisingly tenuous. it requires people working really hard ever single day all of us to keep this thing together. now we know that there is a world around san francisco and around california that is getting stranger and stranger and more and more chaotic and hostile and difficult. and i believe, we heard a lot from the mayor elect this morning about the need for san franciscans to come together to get beyond historic difference and to try and make a future based on the vast majority of

the values we share and we do not share with some of the stuff going on out there. i really believe in that. and i take from my grandmother's life and her experience a real commitment to working every single day to try and take the values that we share and make them real and make sure city actually a shining example of what we want this whole country, this whole world to be. i think we can do it and i'm excited to do that work. and i'm looking forward to joining the folks up here in doing it. i have worked, as i said earlier, with a lot of elected officials in my lifetime over the last 20 years, folks around the bay area at city council and lots of places. this body is well above average. [laughter] [applause] >> this is a very impressive set of folks. they don't get treated necessarily always so well. as people and their commitment and their intelligence and their passion, i've seen elected

official who's don't share those great talents, so my pledge to all of you is to be someone who you can trust, who is reliable. and who is a good partner for you and the work we want to represent our diverse constituencies and the city we love. to our new mayor, i want to extend my great congratulations and enthusiasm for her mayoralty. how extraordinary this city is going to be led by an african american woman who grew up in the projects. [applause] >> it was everyone out there this morning could feel a pride in this city and a pride in what we're going to represent in this era that unfortunately will be known as the trump era. but i am so excited. i know we are excited to work together to solve homelessness and build more affordable

housing and give san francisco the 21st septembe century transm we deserve. to the voters of district 8, i want to give them my extraordinary thanks for being willing to take a second look. [applause] >> and taking me at my word when i said i wanted to try to get beyond the petty differences that seem to have divided our city politics for too long. my pledge to them is to everything i can to make good on that promise from the campaign and keep true to that. that's what i'm going to do. thank you all so much for coming and being part of this and i know there are people who i forgot to acknowledge and i shouldn't and i apologize. i hope you will join us over in

president cohen's office for some beverages and some fine foods. thank you, everybody. [applause]

change in the planning code. so i won't have any further comments on that, but it's really a technical change. if we can adopt the amendments, i would like to send it to the full board as a committee report. questions, comments? seeing none, we'll open it up to public comment. members of the public? mr. carnolowicz? >> good afternoon. i'm president of the san francisco council of district association. this is great legislation. thank you, supervisor tang and supervisor safai. we're having a hard time these days with on-line shopping and then the storefronts that don't generate the foot traffic it would like to have for shops and so forth. i'm speaking on behalf of the

council. we don't vote on this. i did contact bill barnacle and grace from excelsier and they're very supportive of the legislation and urge you to pass it. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. any other members of the public that wish to comment on item 1, please come on up. okay, seeing -- come on up if you want to comment on item 1. >> scott havey. i have a business on 33rd. i'm here to support the proposal. i there i it makes a lot of sense. >> supervisor tang: great. thank you very much. any other members of the public on item 1? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, can we get a motion to adopt the amendments to the legislation? >> supervisor kim: so moved. >> supervisor tang: without objection. underlying item with positive recommendation to the full board. >> supervisor stefani: i will make that motion. >> supervisor tang: without

objection. item 2, please. >> clerk: amending the planning code to allow catering as an accessory use to certain restaurants and make appropriate findings. >> supervisor tang: this is an item sponsored by supervisor safai here. i don't know if he has staff that will comment. but i believe it was continued last week due to amendments. if i don't see anyone else, we'll go to public comment on item 2. any members of the public? >> hi. henry carnelowicz. again, the amendment with the catering at the restaurants, a lot of them close at the certain time or have black mondays when they close on a mondays and it gives an opportunity for the caterers to get out there and provide service to the communities around town and so this is another piece of

legislation that i support and we, again, the three -- the locations, i think, are really great, so looking forward to having this passed, too. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. any other members of the public that wish to comment on item 2? seeing none, public comment is closed. i, too, am very supportive of this legislation. i think we need to be more creative with retail and commercial spaces and figuring out how we can best have people occupy spaces with more flexibility. our office will have more follow-up legislation to that effect soon as well. so with that said, again, this was continued from last week. if we can get a motion on item 2 -- >> can we have there as a

community report? >> supervisor tang: yes. without objection. thank you. item 3, please. >> clerk: ordinance amending the planning code and zoning map to establish 2001 lombard street special use district and affirming appropriate findings. >> supervisor tang: thank you. i will turn it over to the sponsor, supervisor stefani. >> supervisor stefani: i would like to ask for a continuance to call of the chair. >> supervisor tang: we have staff report? no? public comment. >> hello. diego gomez, research analyst. this item was proposed for continuance, that was the ask that we came to make, so we support a move for continuance so there's an opportunity to understand more of what the project sponsor is proposing and

have a chance to engage. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. any other members of the public that wish to comment on item 3? seeing none, public comment on item 3 is closed. >> supervisor stefani: i would like to add that this item will be heard at the planning commission in october. so we won't hear this in land use until after that. and there will be plenty of time to have conversations with the community around this legislation. it's not a proposed project at this time. we look forward to a robust community engagement on this legislation. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. so that item continued to call of the chair. we just did that. okay. did we do that? okay. motion to 21 to call of the chair. without objection. all right. item 4, please. >> clerk: amending the planning code to permit massage establishments in union street neighborhood commercial district

and approve appropriate findings. >> supervisor tang: thank you. supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: this will allow three businesses, which happen to be massage establishments to be permitted. currently, they are not allowed because they didn't file in time under supervisor tang's 2015 massage establishments ordinance. we propose a path to legalization here to support the continuance of small businesses in the union street n.c.d. on march 26, planning commission heard and hey proved this ordinance the commission provided two recommendations, which we agree with, so i would like to propose two amendments, which came from the planning commission's recommendations. the first will amend note 1, page 2, to include an 18-month timeline for filing a building

permit to legalize their business. and the second recommendation will amend on page -- let's see -- will amend it to specify that only massage uses currently within the union street neighborhood commercial district may avail themselves of this legalization process including the exemption. and i can read the amendments into the record, if that's necessary. no? okay. so these are three businesses that are currently in operation 2, equinox and spa radiance and elements. i urge your support on this piece of legislation. if not, we'll have three more vacancies on union street and these are three vetted establishments.

>> supervisor tang: thank you, supervisor stefani. mr. sanchez? >> diego sanchez, planning department staff. i would like to reiterate the planning commission's recommendation. it was very much in support of this ordinance. voted anonymously to supervisor report this with the modifications that supervisor stefani had mentioned. and they did this because they thought these modifications would help to improve the legalization process and implementation going forward. so that concludes my presentation. as mentioned, i'm here for questions. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. all right. seeing no other comments, questions. we'll open up item 4 to public comment. any members of the public that wish to speak? okay. seeing none, public comment is closed on item 4. supervisor stefani, if you want to make a motion. >> supervisor stefani: thank you, supervisor tang. i would like to move this forward to the full board with positive recommendation.

>> supervisor tang: john givner. >> this will trigger a continuance in land use. so the committee should continue it and send it out next week. >> supervisor stefani: i would like to amendment motion and continue this for one week to land use committee. >> supervisor tang: okay. without objection. this item is continued for one week. >> clerk: were there amendments to accept provider to that? >> supervisor tang: i'm sorry. we have to accept the amendments. we'll rescind the vote. supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: yes. i move to accept the amendments that were read and then continue this to the next land use committee hearing. >> supervisor tang: amendments first. we can do that without objection. and underlying item as amended continue one week. without objection. all right. thank you. madam clerk, item 5, please. >> clerk: ordinance amending the planning code to correctorors in

enacted legislation, updated out dated legislation and reorganization of articles 7 and 2 and approve appropriate findings. >> supervisor tang: thank you. we have david brosky, planning department. >> it improves errors and the code itself. it completes article 2 and 7, as well as overlooked items. the majority of the amendments are not considered substantive, with a few exceptions. 145.4 would allow an exception to ground floor. the code is silent on it, but has provisions for other zoning in the code. the second is from the cannabis ordinance, which removed

applicable requirements. the change is consistent with the intent of the cannabis. and the failure to remove it is a drafting error. a third came at the mayor's office and housing that continued development. it would change median to market. using median as benchmark is not a valid standard for the problems the provision is attempting to solve. the planning commission voted to approve the ordinance with modifications april 19 this year. the one recommendation is to remove limited commercial uses to be permitted in the store and zoning districts per 186.3. this was inadvertently deleted and this has been added to the ordinance. so staff has additional corrective amendments, that include page 2.

deleting 312 from the sections being amended, since 312 is being revamped. it's being taken out completely of this ordinance. corrections are no longer needed. page 6, line 5, accessory uses are being added to the definition for reference. page 8, line 24, and page 9, lines 5-24. this table was completed in the version adopted by the commission. it removed the duplicated section of the table and adds the direction to nc3 and nct3 to the table that's remaining. page 10, line 9. section 206.3 to contend with the hope sf legislation that was passed last week. removal of section 312 for reasons previously mentioned. we respect that the committee

makes the amendments and moves the item forward with the positive recommendation. this concludes staff presentation. >> supervisor tang: and to clarify. i think i saw in there that we are also adding a reference to the sub district because it was not carried over to the new format. correct? >> yes. >> supervisor tang: i know that's a handful there. colleagues, questions, comments, on the massive planning code cleanup? no? okay. all right. hopefully everything was caught there. why don't we go to public comment then on item 5? any members of the public that wish to speak on item 5? okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. so with that said, colleagues, there are a number of amendments that were suggested. i would be happy to help adopt

those on behalf of the planning department. so i make a motion to adopt them as was stated. can we do that without objection? okay. all right. so -- yes. if we can get a motion on the underlying item as amended. >> supervisor kim: i would like to move this forward as a committee report. >> supervisor tang: as amended. without objection. all right. moving right along here. okay. i think we need to call item 6 now. >> clerk: item 6 is an ordinance amending the planning code to allow limited nonconforming uses in specified zoning districts to operate between 10:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. with conditional use and affirming appropriate findings. >> supervisor tang: thank you. we have mr. aaron starr here from planning. >> the item before you is an ordinance sponsored by the

planning commission that would allow limited nonconforming uses in specified zoning districts to operate between 10:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. with conditional use authorization. they're only permitted between 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. now. it's normally found in residential districts. when a lot of row zoning happened in the '70s, the businesses were allowed to operate and stay open per the limitations in 186. they can reconstitute when use is abandoned. that process is how this ordinance came to be. from a conditional use authorization for legalization of nonconforming event, located at 3359 cesar chavez, chicken john's. the applicant wanted the ability to stay open until midnight, but

the code did not permit that. during the hearing, the business thought they should be able to stay open until midnight, so asked for an ordinance to allow the extension of hours of operation. the commission heard this ordinance on april 19 of this year and voted to approve the ordinance. that concludes the presentation and i thank you for your consideration of this item. >> supervisor tang: thank you, mr. starr. were there comment outreach or comments that the commission or department received on the potential extended hours of operation? >> there were no comments during the planning commission hearing. >> supervisor tang: supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim: i was curious what other types of uses fall under this category. >> supervisor tang: mostly, it's like your corner store that you see in residential districts. sometimes a restaurant or an

architect's office. >> supervisor kim: legally nonconforming but grandfathered in in the '70s? >> right. and the board passed something that allowed them to be re-established if they go out of business. so then conditional use authorize can be obtained to open up in the commercial spaces again. >> supervisor kim: retail, low-impact office and spaces like these that are arts and -- is it general assembly, too? >> i'm not sure what chicken john's is considered. it must be a general entertainment or something like that. >> supervisor kim: thank you very much. >> supervisor tang: thank you, mr. starr. seeing no other questions or comments, we'll open up item 6 to public comment. any other members of the public that wish to speak, please come on up. light public comment today. okay. we'll close public item on item

6. collegues, can we get a motion on the item? >> supervisor kim: so moved, with recommendation. >> supervisor tang: to send forth to the full board with pos recommendation. without objection. all right. let's call 7 and 11 together. >> clerk: through 11? >> supervisor tang: yes. amending south of market with amendments and appropriate findings. item 8, amending the zoning map to create the special use district and other amendments to height and bulk district maps and zoning use consistent with the sental soma area plan and appropriate findings. item 9, amending planning codes and business and tax registrations, to provide a streamlined process for certain

housing projects within the district. creating an expedited board of appeals process and making appropriate findings. item 10, ordinance amending administrative and planning codes to give effect to the south of market plan and make front findings. item 11, san francisco special tax financing law, related to the central soma area plan. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. i will turn it over to supervisor kim. >> supervisor kim: thank you so much, chair tang, and we did already hear this item last week at the land use committee and i made a series of amendments, 48 in total, largely technical, all discussed at the planning commission, which we incorporated into the central soma ordinance last month. i have a second series of

amendments i'm introducing today, largely requested by project sponsors or members of the community that would require rereferral to the planning commission. this would allow all the amendments, i hope, to be heard at the planning commission all together, so when this item comes back to land use in the fall, there will no longer be a rereferral to the planning departments. so i distributed a list of the amendments. i'm happy to answer any questions that committee members may have. in the meantime, what i would suggest is that we move to public comment on the items, so that members have a chance or opportunity to read through the amendments if they haven't had the opportunity. i did want to offer planning department staff an opportunity to say a few words. i know that director john ram is

here, along with planners lisa chen and josh switski. amy chan is here. so we have them here if they want to make any remarks. director ram, because you are here and we don't often see you at land use committee, and it's a walk, i want to give you an opportunity to say a few words. >> thank you. no. i don't think we have a whole lot to add today. i want to say much i appreciate, supervisor kim, your leadership and working with us on these changes. we're very aware of them. i will not take up any more of time, but thank you. >> supervisor kim: thank you, director ram. it's been a pleasure to work with the planning department on this plan and i'm really looking forward to seeing us approve this plan in the fall. some quick highlights, just so members of the public can understand some of the amendments we're making today. some of them were requested by

project sponsors, they're predominantly all amendments that would allow more housing on sites. so whether it's on some of our key sites, where we're allowing flexibility, where it's zoned hotel. we're giving them flexibility to build housing as well and keep their height. and allowing exceptions on bulk on parcels again to increase housing. for projects that decide to participate in h.s.t., housing sustainability district, we're requiring them to build 100% of inclusionary units on site. if you are going through the ministerial process, that we would like these project sponsors to build their obligation entirely on site. it's not only accelerates the production of housing, but ensures that below-market rate, low and middle income. seeing no further comments or

questions currently, madam chair, if we could open it up for public comment. >> supervisor tang: thank you, supervisor kim. because it's the first time i'm seeing the round of amendments, i may have some comments, but we'll open it up for public comment. items 7-11, central soma. if any members of the public want to speak, please come on up. we have speaker cards. my apologies. anita diaz, jim warshel, cynthia gomez, anthony vercamp, mike buehler, andrew wolfram, cindy heightsman, jonathan haber, and susan millhouse. >> thank you to the committee. i'm anita denz, d-e-n-z. i'm here to
