what we get as a community benefit in ex-chanunnge -- exchange for the h.s.d. thank you very much. >> good afternoon, committee members. i'm bradley weedmeyer. architectural historian that comes as someone who was a research assistant to another historian that 60 years ago, when it was stopped the demolition of the mint. robert justin clark, professor emeritus, keep him in our memory, but the mint is so important and i know it's hard to fund everything, but the $5 million from the $20, let's put

it back and give consideration to the h.p.c., historic preservation commission, which is one of our city bodies, that's asked for $50 million. i don't know if we can do that, but let's try. the stabilization is so important. just in my 41 years in san francisco, waiting for buses at 5th and mission, you see the cracking of the great granite blocks. the granite lady needs stabilization or we're going to lose her and you see the rust and other things that have to be aggressively addressed. we don't want it to languish. and we don't want the plan to langui languish. we want it to be a center of community and historic resources. so let's get the full funding and see what we can do about that. thank you so much. >> supervisor tang: seeing no further public comment, through the chair, i would like to ask

that we close public comment on the items. public comment is closed for items 7-11. >> supervisor kim: there's a series of amendments that i have stated on the record. i also want to add that sara dennis phillips is here to answer any questions. a couple of things i want to note in regards to public comment that was made. there is an ordinance that is being drafted by supervisor sandra fewer on the right of first purchase that came up at public comment earlier. there have been meetings where we have discussed accusation. i'm not sure if i should ask ms. chan to speak to that, but if you could speak to how much money is available. you don't have to come up now. i will good through a series of responses. i wanted to note that we have not added any additional key sites to the nine that were originally in the plan. there is a discussion and there

was a request to add 505 brandon, but it's not been included last week or this week. our also is planning on drafting a good jobs resolution. this is something that jobs for justice local 2 and we've been asked to do to ask project sponsors to write and development a jobs plan for not just the construction jobs but long-term jobs that they will be completing. our office will be working with the planning department to split the citizens advisory committee between south of america the and now east, central and west soma and the mission, waterfront and showplace square neighborhoods. that's another trailing ordinance that our office will be working on. i do want to consider the discussion around open space.

i appreciate what members of the public have said. there are portions of central soma that should be creating open space and rec centers that cater to youth and families. i do want to note that within the central soma benefits package we're seating aside $25 million to renovate gene friend rec center, which is also increasing square footage, by increasing the heat of height, so it's a minimum of two levels. we also are planning to build a new rec center with a swimming pool at the tennis court sites. we're looking at a new one-acre park in the southwest portion of the plan, along with other parks, but it is noted, duty noted, the need for youth and family needs and also looking at

how can better serve ya youth a family needs. we are looking at looking at the school board to in the deuce a resolution to dedicate school impact fees to south of market. we would love the assistance of our community members here in getting that through, because that's not something that the board of supervisors can do. it will be through the board of education. finally, on the restoration of u.s. mint building, it's not a decrease. when it went to planning, it was proposed at $10 million. we have increased it to $15 million. so it's -- i would not look at it as a decrease, but rather an increase. and i think that given the immense amount of needs in this community, most importantly, affordable housing and

preservation of housing and jobs including p.d.r. and open transit, who are balancing a lot of needs. while it may seem that we overwhelmingly heard from stake holders, know that we've engaged in many community meetings with participants and doing the best we can to spend limits funds, though a great deal of funds -- it will be the most generous community benefits package ever seen in area plan, it's a balance of so many different needs and the old mint is a very, very small part of that. so it will be an increase. that amendment has been made under amendment 15 and reallocating funds to a p.d.r. relocation fund, knowing that we're losing many p.d.r. uses and central soma plan and as many of the key sites and project developers reconstruct and rebuild we want to be able

to continue to stay in san francisco and hopefully able to stay in the central soma and south of market neighborhood. so, colleagues, would love to address any questions that have come up now that we've had time to review the amendments. >> supervisor tang: thank you, supervisor kim. i had a moment to look through these. thank you for clarifying certain questions. again, given the sheer volume of commenters that came out today regarding the mint, i wanted to focus on that, not to take away the fact that this entire plan and how much work went into it. i do want to acknowledge that and thank you supervisor kim and the planning department for that work. for now, one thing i have is, regarding the mint, yes, i understand that p.d.r., preservation, is important. i'm wondering if there's a

ballpark number as to how many p.d.r. businesses we're looking at in the creation of $10 million relocation fund? is there any estimate? thank you, ms. chan, from planning department. >> supervisors, so this is a new proposal, so the details haven't been fleshed out. so the amendments are to create the fund and we'd need to do more research to really establish the number of businesses and so on. but depending on which source we look at, it's 150 to 200 p.d.r. in the area that are active, we think. so it depends on water is advices we're providing. also, we could speak to some services that we have for p.d.r.

businesses. some of the funds could support existing services. >> supervisor tang: thank you. that's helpful, so roughly 150 to 200. i would love to see in summer or early fall, more analysis on that. and then going to the mint, i'm curious -- and i was not part of the long discussions with the community, but how is it decided that the money would be taken from what the mint would have received under the c.f.d.? for this relocation fund? >> we would defer to supervisor kim to share more information on this, but we did take a look at the entire public benefits document, so $2.2 billion, which is a range of categories. and we were looking line item by

line item to see where there may be other funds that are available. and everything in there, we prioritize and think are important, but we were trying to figure out where the key opportunities might be to find funding elsewhere. >> supervisor tang: okay. supervisor kim, i don't know if you have more background on that and how it was arrived at for the mint. >> supervisor kim: total, $104 million allocated to the cultural preservation services. if you don't want to just look at the old mint, because it's just one building, there's $104 million allocated for cultural preservation and community services. $50 million to dedication to restoration of the u.s. mint, $20 million for maintenance of historic buildings throughout the district. and then a mixture of new facilities, including healthcare

clinics, programming, and cultural amenities. it's a key part of making sure that we're helping to preserve a neighborhood. when this was first proposed in may, the old mint had been allocated $10 million. so it is an increase at $15 million. it was at the planning commission that many stake holders came to speak asking for an increase in the allocation. it was proposed at $20 million. again, like i said, if you look at the list of all of the public benefits packages, they're all incredibly important. so we just have to play a balancing act. we're dedicating almost $1 billion to new and rehabilitated affordable housing. by far and away, there's the most important priorities. keeping people here in san francisco. i just don't think there is any comparable priority on this list as there is with affordable

housing. also, public transit, capacity enhancement. this is not just a huge priority for the neighborhood. and they actively want to make sure that we're serving our youth and families, many that live in south of market, whether it's expanding parks and rec centers, open space, linear park and making sure that we are keeping the popos maintained, but in a way that's hopefully of service to the neighborhood as it came up in public comment today. production distribution and repair is also a big priority of this neighborhood. it's just not preserving uses in our city, but also living-wage jobs, so a diversity in our work force. and then we have the cultural

preservation services that i mentioned as $104 million. next we have environmental sustainability and resilience, very important. making sure as we build out this dense neighborhood, we're working on air quality issues, noise quality issues, stormwater management. other energy and water efficiency projects. as this neighborhood grows, we're trying to move forward as carbon neutrally as possible. that's come up in the e.i.r. it's a great concern to the residents, making sure that we're keeping them healthy and safe and that as we grow as a city, we're the model for what it means to grow and be an environmentally friendly neighborhood. childcare centers, schools, betsy carmichael, this is the smallest pot. we want to be sure we're serving our youth and children and

families. the items are important and wants to increase affordable housing funds, environmental funds. so the balancing act that we're playing here is what we're bringing before the land use committee. >> supervisor tang: thank you for that explanation and i see that another $4 million is coming out of the sustainability -- sorry, environmental sustainability and resilience category as well as $1 million water recycling and stormwater management. how much of they receiving? they will be okay? >> supervisor kim: yeah. so this -- i came through some creati creative brainstorming. there are enhanced requirements that has been passed around stormwater as well as -- what was the second one?

stormwater management and water recycling in parks. so we reduced this dollar amount. project sponsors will have to provide that on site on their own dime. so there would be less of a need for the impact fees or c.f.d.s to contribute to that. >> supervisor tang: okay. so, began, i do appreciate supervisor kim explaining this balancing act overall of how to allocate the c.f.d. funds. this amendment is not to the planning code or admin code, but to the implementation program documents and how it is that the community benefits, the funds will be allocated. but i would like to, following our land use community hearing, continue that conversation, given the amount of concern that we've now heard from folks and the community. so i definitely want to be able

to address that, but i hear what you are saying. so -- and i know that this will have to go back to planning commission anyhow. but i wanted to make planning staff aware that i would like to follow up with you on it. colleagues, any other questions or comments? >> supervisor stefani: i have one question. i want to thank supervisor kim for the context around how the money will be reallocated or or allocated. is there any flexibility in the funding? if needs changed or something happened to the mint that needed more than $15 million? i'm wondering how concrete this is? >> supervisor kim: this is an art, not a science. there will be some flexibility as time moves forward. the c.f.d. will have self more

layers of approvals and every time we go out to bond, we'll have to go through some approval and i imagine it will be flexing of dollars in different categories. we also have to keep in mind that these dollars don't all come in at twice. it will be over a projected 25-year life. and so there will also be a very fierce, rigorous debate on how and in what years the dollars are spent as well. so i think you will see a great deal of flexibility via the process into the future. there is is a suggested plan of how the funds will be sent out. the impact fees are fairly set in terms of the arenas that they are allocated to, whether it's transit, affordable housing, open space. within those buckets, there is discretion and most all of that comes before the board of supervisors. the c.f.d. has to go through several additional layers and

before the first bond is issues, the expediture plan will come before the board of supervisors. so there will be flexibility based on need and change of costs. >> supervisor stefani: okay. thank you. >> supervisor tang: any other questions, comments? one final comment, one comment was that amendments were driven by project sponsors. i push back against that. we'll be sure that they're heard at the planning commission. any amendments at the full board will not require rereferral. but i wanted to give the community as much time as possible to evaluate the requests, for instance, the values, as we move forward with the process over the next 1 1/2 months. very few amendments requested by project sponsors were included unless they were technical or

increase our ability to increase housing. if you see any amendments by project sponsors, they increased housing or in relation to land dedication that's part of a commercial -- mixed commercial residential development. i want to assure the community that i have pulled back the sponsor-driven amendments. but there will be at least 1 1/2 months to go through the amendments with our office through a process. >> supervisor tang: thank you, supervisor kim. looking through your summary from today, i agree that most of these are to create more affordable housing. with that said, what would you like to do with items 7-11? >> supervisor kim: i would like to make a motion to amend as i had stated prior to public comment and i would like to make a motion to refer items --

sorry. let me pull that up. city attorney john givner. >> the committee should continue the items so that planning will have an opportunity to consider the amendments. and the clerk's office suggests continuing it to a date certain for noticing rementquirements. practically speaking, the soonest that the planning commission could hear the items and act on it and send it back to the committee after the board designed the ceqa appeal on september 4 would be september 10. so if you continued it to september 10, you could at that point if the ceqa appeal is resolved, send it to the full board. if the ceqa is not resolved, you

could continue it on september 10. >> supervisor kim: so i will continue those items to monday, september 10, if the chair deems that date okay, so we don't have to refer items 8, 9, 10 and 11 back to the planning commission. we can simply continue the planning commission and hear our amendments and make recommendations after the appeal on september 4. is that correct? >> that's correct. after you act and continue the items today, the clerk's office will refer all the documents back to planning. planning can hold a hearing and take approval action to the board and consider ceqa appeal. >> supervisor kim: for item 11, the 90 days by which we must act is now -- am i looking at the

right one, item 7? >> that's right. >> supervisor kim: which the board has to act within 90 days but because an appeal was filed, that 90 days has proven. >> correct. you will have time under the ceqa appeal to act on the general plan amendment. >> supervisor ki >> supervisor kim: i want to make that clear to items of the public. it is essentially frozen in time and will continue that until october 2. >> supervisor tang: are we taking the amendments today? >> supervisor kim: we are first. >> supervisor tang: may we have a motion to amend -- >> supervisor kim: as stated. >> supervisor tang: without objection? >> supervisor kim: and motion to continue the items to land use

committee monday, september 10. many of the amendments that i made today require rereferral to planning commission. >> supervisor tang: made a note of the september 10 date and we can do that without objection. okay. thank you, everyone. madam clerk, are there any other matters before us today? >> clerk: there is no further business. >> supervisor tang: thank you. we are adjourned.

[applause] >> mayor breed: while. what a beautiful group of people. welcome to district five. [cheering] it has been a real honor to serve as a supervisor for the district that i was born and

raised in. i am so excited today because this is a special community. it is a community that has had a challenging past. iit is a community that has consistently come together to solve our most challenging issues. it is a community that is such an amazing place, full of people who care about rolling up their sleeves to get the job done. not only to make their neighborhood a better place, but to make san francisco a better place. so when i was thinking about someone who is just really a strong communicate just community advocate, someone who is focused on delivering for the residents of district five, i could think of no one better than valley brown. [cheers and applause]

i first met valley brown over 15 years ago before she was even a legislative aide at city hall. she was actually in the lower elite with her own picker picking up trash. i thought, this really reminds me of what my grandmother used to do. she used to clean the steps were relived. she used to make us clean up in our neighborhood and i thought, that is pretty amazing that someone would just take it upon themselves to go out there and clean up the community. she has been actively engaged, not just in her area where she has lived for so many years, but she has touched the lives of so many people across the entire district. when i reached out to residents in this neighborhood for feedback on someone to replace me as the district five

supervisor, time and time again, i heard people tell me stories about what vallie has done to help them, to basically help plant a tree or remove a tree that was dead, to deal with a pothole, or to help here in the western addition with many of the challenges that you all know we face when we were dealing with some of the worst violence in the history of our city. vallie has been there for us. cavalli has rolled up her sleeves. [cheers and applause] to not only get the job done for folks throughout the district including as far out as the inner sunset, but she has focused on the broader issues. the issues around equity. the issues around neighborhood preference. she was by my side on putting together that legislation to deliver neighborhood preference for the residents of the city

where people who live in the community have a right of first refusal and access to the affordable housing built in their community. because of the history of redevelopment and what has happened here, you had a fierce advocate on my team to fight for what was right. because of it, you know the results of the kennedy apartment. we are able to get 23 african african-americans in the apartment at 39 of those 98 units went to residents of this community. time and time again, when reviewing legislation, vallie has been the eyes and ears of the community character she listens to the needs of our small businesses and community members, and she makes sure that when legislation is introduced, that she proposes amendments or raises questions, or other issues so that the legislation and the work we do at city hall

can actually have a positive impact on our community. this playground where we are here today, she was instrumental in working with the hayes vallie neighborhood association. working with the western addition to bring the community together and to help with city resources to raise the funding and to make this a place where all feel welcome. that is what she is about. bringing people together. covering all parts of the district. young people, seniors, everyone has a place in the vallie brown administration. i am just excited because -- and what some of you may or may not know, vallie brown worked for me as a legislative age. she worked for a previous supervisor as a legislative aide to. let me tell you. i don't know how many arguments i have had with her over decisions, regularly.

she stands her ground. she stands her ground to do what is right and to do what makes sense for the people of this district. we will have no more fears of an advocate on the board of supervisors than the amazing vallie brown. it is my honor today -- [cheers and applause] it is my honor today to administer the oath of office to my friend and a friend of our district, vallie brown. [cheers and applause] [laughter] >> mayor breed: ok. do we want to do it in the microphone? ok. all right. come on, vallie. come on. hang on.

[cheers and applause] >> thank you. >> mayor breed: supervisor vallie brown! [cheers and applause] >> crazy. i have to take a deep breath. this has just been a few hours that i have even realized that i am actually going to be the supervisor. i am. thank you.

thank you. i am sure that will not be the last time you tell me something i need to know. [laughter] but i am so honored to be here today with everyone that i respect and admire. mayor breed, thank you for your confidence and trust and appointing me as the district five supervisor. i know it wasn't easy for you. because we have so many amazing residents and advocates. when you told me and when you called me and told me congratulations, supervisor brown, but you said, not even skipping a beat, you better take care of my district and residents --dash residents. i knew that was the reason why it came to work for you in the first place. it is amazing to be at hayes vallie playground. everyone, this is such an amazing thing. the buildings and the grounds are beautiful.

i walk by this place every day when i come to work. i see the community tending the flowers, picking up the trash, and making it their community space. i will tell you a little history. we used to call the building that was here eight leading to. because i think, th the coordinr here held it together with duct tape. i was an aide when we received bond money to renovate the building. unfortunately, we were short about half a million dollars. when the city's early budget was revealed, this funding was not in the budget. so we decided to put it in adds back. and as a supervisor snow here, $500,000 for one place and add back can be a really hard push. but we fought really hard for the funding. it was really the neighborhood association that activists and

advocates in the fillmore, western edition, cheryl davis, and then mayor breed was ed of the arts and cultural complex. she came out to city hall in force. and got this through. got this ad back through to actually build this building. and now it is absolutely beautiful. what i really was about this experience is that as your supervisor, i cannot do it alone. it is the community that makes it a reality. it will be you, the community, that helps guide me in city hall. hall. i am your voice in city hall. i moved to san francisco three decades ago. i was looking to create a community without other artists

and like-minded people. we lived in warehouses throughout the city, but then, as now, we were evicted and pushed out. one landlord, in particular, a good landlord, came to me and said, why don't you pull your money together and by the place? 's own three friends i bought a place. it was falling down, but it was our home. right now in san francisco, families, teachers, nonprofit workers, and bartenders, they are struggling to stay in san francisco. i am not seeing the same housing opportunities we had back then. even as artists with part-time jobs, we were able to pool our money together and buy something. keeping people housed in a neighborhood that they love and creating more housing, affordable housing, it will be one of my top priorities as a

supervisor. not far from here, i started my community activism. we worked to create a supervisor -- supervisor breed mentioned we work to create a neighborhood association and we cling to the streets. we helped the school, the elementary school. we improve the public safety. we planted trees. i realized that the power of a community coming together to tackle issues in a neighborhood. it wasn't easy. it taught me that it is possible. i also discovered that i love community work. yes. [laughter] i'm not sure i will -- it will always love me but i loved it. it really was my springboard to take the next step to work for the residents in district five as a legislative aide. for over a decade, i worked for two supervisors and with the city to improve the neighborhoods in district five. the life i built in san francisco is a very different one than the one i grew up with

in utah. i grew up with a single mother working odd jobs to support me, my sister and my grandmother. i never knew my father. i knew the fear of not having stable housing. we moved often. one day, when i was at school, i overheard a girl tell everybody that my mom was a deadbeat mom and she didn't pay the rent. that is when i realized that nothing is guaranteed to. by the time i was 14, my mother and my grandmother had passed away. and it took a community to raise me. so you can say, good or bad, i am a product of community development. [laughter] now i stand before you today, your community partner, your district supervisor, your neighbor. i am ready to jump in now. i'm ready to jump in to work with japan town, the valley,

alamo square, and the fillmore. shout out! and inner sunset. ashbury, cold valley, i i think i said lower hayes. when avista, lower pack heights. thank you to residents of the five. [cheers and applause] [♪] .
