applications are also adding add usual a.d.u.s or accessory dwelling units. so this is an opportunity where we're not just preserving housing, but adding to it. that is -- those units will become rent-controlled units. part of the house or the units that are in the building today. and, again, we think it's a really important benefit. next slide. just to remind people a little bit, and this is part of the community action plan for seismic safety, which was completed in 2010, and it's a 30-year look-forward on how we can make improvements. we often -- we have our capital plan that talks about publicly on infrastructure. this is where we're getting into what we need to do to address privately owned infrastructure in the city. as we know, estimates are 85% of

the infrastructure across the country is privately owned. so this is important. and it feeds into some of the other work that we're doing. i think coming forward around private schools, around tall buildings. a lot of you have been hearing stuff about tall buildings. and we'll be coming up with the comprehensive study of earthquakes effects on tall bulledin buildings. there's a facade ordinance that we're going to work on to address facades that could be vulnerable in earthquakes. and i should mention the community side, again, working with the neighbor fest program and neighborhood empowerment network. there are 40 block parties that are scheduled for this year. 26 of them -- i'm sorry, 24 of them have taken place. there's a big one, one of the -- we have three or four that are really large and the biggest one is in the bayview and that's scheduled for october 6, i'm

sorry, october 6, where we expect to actually have several hundred people from the community come together and have a block party and also talk about resilience and earthquake preparedness and erica and her team and other folks will be there from a lot of your departments to engage with the community. with that, i'm happy to take any questions and move along. we're moving quickly today. >> okay. if there are no questions, we can go into roundtable. if anyone has any announcements about activities that your department is working on. >> three things.

one, the elderly and the elderly care facilities especially, we do have a lot of that information, where they're at, in terms of info on the c.a.d. it would be great if we can get more of that, especially the permanent housing. it's easier to track, where you know you have someone. where my grandmother is at, it's tougher. it's a regular residence, but with six people. so we need to get that in. the harder thing would be, 20 apartments and there is one that needs help. those are temporary premise information that can go on the c.a.d. and the problem is, if somebody moves, it changes. but that needs to be updated and i don't know if your department can help with that or not, but that would be great. or if there is g.i.s. mapping that we could work on as far as putting more of these bulledings, if there is some way to integrate the maps. and as far as d.b.i. and different types of construction.

secondly, we're concerned about, there's -- tom might know about this, it's type 4, heavy timber construction coming down from the national. we're concerned about that. we're concerned about the mission bay-type building, where we have two stories of cement, type one trucconstruction, and five. when they're being corrected, it's dangerous because of the heat. so wear concerned about them when they're under construction. when they are constructed, they're sprinklered. so it's less of a concern then. during the earthquake, the water won't be working. our plan is if there's is a conflagration, there will be lines of demarcation. and these buildings, if they have no water, our lines of demarcation can be jumped over. so that's a concern of ours. that ship has already sailed.

we are concerned what's coming down the pipe and i'm not -- it's not going to come tomorrow, but the heavy timber buildings that can go up to 85 feet and 165 feet. now this is a -- we don't want this in san francisco at all. i know that the developers might, but that would even make our lines of demarcation that much narrower. so that's something this body should be concerned about. and, thirdly, we've talked with pg & e. i don't know if they're in the house. are they part of this council? so there's two transmission lines that come in, gas transmission, is what we're most concerned about. we like to work with them so there is -- the mechanism is in place where you get the 15-second alert, the earthquake is coming. if we know that a certain magnitude of earthquake is coming, we want them to shut down the transmission lines. we would rather deal with

building collapse and not possible conflagration. if the conflagrations happen, resilience will be pushed backwards. there are three things that i as deputy chief are concerned about. thanks. [inaudible] >> anyone else? are there any members of the public for public comment? okay. seeing none, we are 2 minutes early. so i will take that. [laughter] our next meeting is in december.

>> in closing, i just want to -- great meeting. i think that what we heard reported -- i can't express our gratitude enough to all of you for taking the time. i think these periodic meetings are the communication catalyst that we are and underscored what we came here to talk about. it was so wonderful to hear from everyone and understand that we are integrated and that we are dedicated to the same goal of connected communities and to see through the presentations how everything we're doing is for all sectors and all san francis franciscoans that live and work here and we're working together to make our city resilient and

prepared and engaged. so thank you. thank you, everyone. >> thank you. one thing announcement for hopefully everyone in this room doesn't need it, but for members of the public that may be watching, a reminder to sign up for alert sf to get all the information that you need for day-to-day information and emergencies, but certainly when we have a significant event. it will be a way in which we can communicate with you. i hope to see many of you at fleet week next week. have a great day.

>> one more statement. we are the one. that is our first single that we made. that is our opinion. >> i can't argue with you. >> you are responsible please do not know his exact. [♪] [♪] [♪] >> i had a break when i was on a major label for my musical career. i took a seven year break. and then i came back. i worked in the library for a long time. when i started working the san

francisco history centre, i noticed they had the hippie collection. i thought, if they have a hippie collection, they really need to have a punk collection as well. so i talked to the city archivist who is my boss. she was very interested. one of the things that i wanted to get to the library was the avengers collection. this is definitely a valuable poster. because it is petty bone. it has that weird look because it was framed. it had something acid on it and something not acid framing it. we had to bring all of this stuff that had been piling up in my life here and make sure that the important parts of it got archived. it wasn't a big stretch for them to start collecting in the area of punk. we have a lot of great photos and flyers from that area and that. that i could donate myself. from they're, i decided, you know, why not pursue other

people and other bands and get them to donate as well? the historic moments in san francisco, punk history, is the sex pistols concert which was at winterland. [♪] it brought all of the punks on the web -- west coast to san francisco to see this show. the sex pistols played the east coast and then they play texas and a few places in the south and then they came directly to san francisco. they skipped l.a. and they skipped most of the media centres. san francisco was really the biggest show for them pick it was their biggest show ever. their tour manager was interested in managing the adventures, my band. we were asked to open to support the pistols way to that show. and the nuns were also asked to open the show. it was certainly the biggest crowd that we had ever played to. it was kind of terrifying but it did bring people all the way from vancouver, tee seattle, portland, san diego, all up and

down the coast, and l.a., obviously. to san francisco to see this show. there are a lot of people who say that after they saw this show they thought they would start their own band. it was a great jumping off point for a lot of west coast punk. it was also, the pistols' last show. in a way, it was the end of one era of punk and the beginning of a new one. the city of san francisco didn't necessarily support punk rock. [♪] >> last, but certainly not least is a jell-o be opera. they are the punk rock candidate of the lead singer called the dead kennedys. >> if we are blaming anybody in san francisco, we will just blame the dead kennedys. >> there you go. >> we had situations where concerts were cancelled due to flyers, obscene flyers that the city was thought -- that he

thought was obscene that had been put up. the city of san francisco has come around to embrace it's musicians. when they have the centennial for city hall, they brought in all kinds of local musicians and i got to perform at that. that was, at -- in a way, and appreciation from the city of san francisco for the musical legends. i feel like a lot of people in san francisco don't realize what resources there are at the library. we had a film series, the s.f. punk film series that i put together. it was nearly sold out every single night. people were so appreciative that someone was bringing this for them. it is free. everything in the library is free. >> it it is also a film producer who has a film coming out. maybe in 2018 about crime. what is the title of it? >> it is called san francisco first and only rock 'n' roll movie. crime, 1978. [laughter]

>> when i first went to the art institute before the adventures were formed in 77, i was going to be a painter. i did not know i would turn into a punk singer. i got back into painting and i mostly do portraiture and figurative painting. one of the things about this job here is i discovered some great resources for images for my painting. i was looking through these mug shot books that we have here that are from the 1920s. i did a whole series of a mug shot paintings from those books. they are in the san francisco history centre's s.f. police department records. there are so many different things that the library provides for san franciscans that i feel like a lot of people are like, oh, i don't have a library card. i've never been there. they need to come down and check it out and find out what we have. the people who are hiding stuff

in their sellers and wondering what to do with these old photos or old junk, whether it is hippie stuff or punk stuff, or stuffestuff from their grandpar, if they bring it here to us, we can preserve it and archive it and make it available to the public in the future.

>> how are we doing today? my name is vanessa, and it is truly my honor to be sharing this space with you.

i will be your master of ceremonies for today. i'm the cofounder of a nonprofit organization that works to be leadership in the latino community to create a 100% energy future. it is my pleasure to welcome you all to this beautiful place, the san francisco city hall, for the cities 4 clima4c. this event is also an incredible preview of what is to come in the next few days of the global climate action summit where representatives of cities, states, businesses, and members of community will demonstrate missions to robust climate action. we'll showcase how by working

mayors, business leaders, philanthropists, journalists, experts from all around the world. everyone is here to discuss how we can make a healthier, more economically prosperous and more receipt clal urban future. i'd like to extend a special thanks to otto desk, and thank you to the main media partners of this event, the san francisco chronicle, and guardian cities. we are very, very excited to have you on board with us. finally, i would like to see a big hello to all the people around the world that are watching us on facebook live today. thank you for joining us, and we're actively promoting today's event on social media, so i urge you to share your inspiring quotes and favorite moments and pictures using the hashtag #cities4climate on facebook, twitter, and

instagram. and now let's begin today's program. i'm honored to introduce the first speaker of today. she is the 45th mayor of the city and county of san francisco, london breed. she is the first african american woman and only the second woman to serving as mayor of san francisco. she is dedicated to improving the city's housing, environment, and transportation for all. sitting on the city's board of supervisors, she passed the strongest styrofoam ban in the country. she has consistently advocated for safer streets for all users, whether on the bus, on the bike, or on foot. thank you, once again, for having us here, and please join me in welcoming mayor london breed to the stage.

[applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you, everyone and welcome to san francisco city hall. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you, vanessa, for that kind of introduction. i'm honored to be here with so many people from around the world, so many mayors from so many different countries. this is going to be an amazing week in san francisco. you know, many of us are here because we unfortunately know about a lack of leadership around climate change in washington, d.c. that is why this week, we are joining an unprecedented gathering of leaders from cities around the world to send the message that climate change

is too important for us not to act. we are already seeing the impacts of global warming here in california and all over our planet. it poses significant threats to our most vulnerable communities and the critical infrastructure in so many of our cities. the decisions we make today, the partnerships we form, and the commitments we advance are critical to ensuring we leave our communities, our planet, a better place for the next generation. that -- yes, you can clap for that 'cause that's what this is all about. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: that's why it's so important for us to be here, and i am proud that san francisco has been consistent on -- consistently on the forefront of advancing policies to help our environment combat climate change. we were the first city to offer curb side composting and ban

single use plastic bags. when i was on the board of supervisors, i helped push forward our cleanpowersf program, which has enrolled over 100,000 customers since 2016 and has resulted in greenhouse gas reductions equivalent to taking 17,000 cars off the road. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: pretty amazing. just a few years ago, i pushed legislation to enact the strictest styrofoam in the country and drug take back policies which have resulted in over 40 tons of pharmaceuticals from going into our bay and landfill. since 1 t990, we have reduced r greenhouse gas he missionemiss% and growing our conneity of km

-- san francisco by 30%. this week, we stand with so many around the world to build upon the commitment made at the u.n. climate change conference in paris in 2015. we are adopting new policies to meet our goal of being carbon neutral by 2050, and by the year 2030, we as a city have committed to four important goals: cutting our landfill waste in half, decarbonizing all new buildings, achieving 100% renewable energy and we are well on our way and continuing to issue more municipal green bonds for construction. as mayors, we are leading the effort to make our cities more

sustainable. we can achieve this by working across our borders in global communities. together we have the ability to create cleaner and a more greener and sustainable few tu for generations to come. i'd like to thank c40 cities for bringing us here and providing critical resources for cities like san francisco to support global initiatives, and also to the gloeblt cabinet of mayors for creating this international alliance so that we are all working together. we are thrilled to have you in our city, and we hope that you take advantage of the many restaurants and amazing places that we have, as

>> supervisor tang: good afternoon everyone. welcome to october. we are at our october 1st, land use and transportation commit committee. jim supervisor katie tang along with jane kim and supervisor safai. are there any announcements before us? >> clerk: yes. silence all cell phones and electronic devices. fill out speaker cards and any documents should be submitted to the clerk. items acted upon will appear on the october 16 board of supervisors agenda. >> supervisor tang: thank you. can you call item numbers one through seven consecutively. >> clerk: yes.

[reading items one through seven] >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. we have francis mcmillan from planning. >> good afternoon supervisors. francis mcmillan. i have a presentation. thank you. items before you today are the article ten and article 11 designations. today's designations includes three individual art ten landmark designation and new pullman hotel and hotel utah. one article ten is proposed for today. the article 11 items include

addition of two properties to the kearny market district, the designation of the mint district and change in designation of 26 individual building. each of the items was supported by the historic preservation commission and planning commission in march through june of this year. the surveys conducted over the last several years are examples of property with architectural design. their statements serve aztec any cal studies used to inform the development and protecting -- as, technical studies and used to reflect the industrial and artistic feel of the neighborhood.

the new pullman hotel is significant as one of the few remaining and best examples of the residential hotels. it is also significant for its association with seasonal and african american railroad workers including pullman porters and maids who established the first all black union in the country, contributed to the development of the african american middle class. the property is the only known property in san franciscan stanning strong associations with pullman porters and maids. the pile drivers bridge is associated with post disaster reconstruction era. the union hall at 224 and 226

guerrero. this is a striking example of architect commonly employed in the design residential hotel building constructed during period and the hotel is notable for having survived a large scale redevelopment of soma during the mid-20th century during which much of the building stock was raised. the last article ten designate nation is named for the -- designation is named for the two story warehouse building unique to the district. it is significant because it is representative of 19 century development of the south of market area and maritime commissioners a-- commerce along

the west coast. it was developed in the 19 industry and continued through the 1906 earthquake and fire reconstruction. it is one of the last remaining enclaves of main stream building following the 1906 earthquake and fire. the first of the two designations before you is the addition of two properties to the kearny market district. 55 fifth street, and 1923 hotel. their heights, scale and massing along with the renaissance detailing share direct relationship with the architectural character and historic context, making them natural additions to the district. the mint mission district is co comprised of industrial

properties. as a reminder, article 11 building are classified with numerical rankings. buildings one and two are significant and contribute to categories three and four are smaller scale and possess less ornate detail. the district is rare with this mix of building types and representative of the post 1906 earthquake and fire reconstruction period. the 26 properties proposed for a change in article 11 designation best represent the neighborhood. they include examples of the industrial and commercial hotel properties that were once common to soma. the majority of the properties are not currently rated under article 11 or classified or category 5. as outlined on this slide,

throughout the development of the central soma survey, multiple outreach efforts were conducted. through recent notification we have received several inquiries from property owners with a mix of questions and concerns related to designation. department staff has held a number of meetings and spoken with owners to discuss their concerns, including the transferable development rights and using the california building code and certificate of appropriate requirements. in closing, the article 10 and 11 designations included in the soma plan policies include supporting the preservation, recognition and well-being of the neighbor's resources, protecting heritage properties,

designation to article 11 of the planning code and supporting the features that shows the art of the neighborhood. this concludes my presentation and happy to answer any questions. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much for that presentation. colleagues, any questions or comments? okay. seeing none, we will go to public for items one through seven. any members of the public who wish to speak on the historic designation items? >> this technique of conserving and preserving historic building is an example how you can preserve buildings in area owned and controlled by nationality of white people. when you have historical building in areas that is predominantly black and hispanic, latino, people of color, you never come through talking about you want to

preserve the building. you want to tear it down and build a brand new building and jack up the expenses of rent and move the original people in the area out of the district. and you do it all the time. every time you do it, i'm going to check you. and by the same response, i'm going to step outside just to conference of taking care of business in city hall because this is not the correct place to take care of these kind of problems with the way your administration is. i have to get you in front of a federal district judge with the price fixing and price gauging and you get trillions and billions of dollars to high-tech companies that don't need a damn blink. i'm tired of it. i'm tired of it. about you talking about i'm being decisive. pitting minds of people against each other when i speak up for

every nationality. [bell] >> i don't appreciate you talking to me like that. a black person come here and tell you he had two cancer surgeries because of the radiation in your district and you slam the door in his face. female tell you how 13 people have died because of the cancer causing materials in your district and you hang up the phone. do not come through and how black people have been discriminated for years in san francisco. [bell] >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. any other members of the public who wish to comment on items one through seven? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagueses can we get a motion on these items? >> supervisor kim: i would like to move forward items one through severalen with recommendation to the full burden. >> supervisor tang: we are missing our colleague, but do we need to roll call then? >> clerk: sure.

on the motion to send this matter forward as recommended, supervisor safai? absent. supervisor kim? kim aye. supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: aye. >> clerk: there are two eyes. >> supervisor tang: thank you. these items will proceed. item eight, please. [reading agenda item] >> supervisor tang: thank you. we are joined by supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. it is in response to multiple fires we have seen in the city

over the past few years that have led to property damage, massive tenant displacement and some instances loss of life. there were 252 two-alarm or greater residential fires between 2004 and 2016. the most horrendous fire in my district was 22nd and mission in 2015 where 58 men, women and children were displaced. access to fire escapes were locked and that the alarm system didn't work. many of these survivors are low income families with young children. one person also tragically died. today this building is nothing but a hole in the ground and people have not been able to return to their homes or community. this legislation provides the city with a strong mechanism that will help keep our most vulnerable building safe and hopefully prevent tragedies like the one at 22nd and mission in the future.

while there are many upstanding building owners in the city, what this legislation does is focus on those who have a pattern of negligence. the legislation will be triggered when a building owner has been issued two or more notices of violation for violation of fire safety requirements and any fire hazard continues to exist or reoccurs after abatement. the violation must also be so extensive or of such a nature that the health and safety of the resident is endangered and the property owner has failed to abate the violations. in these situations, the city can issue a fire life safety notice and order, which can be signed off by either dbi or fire in consultation always with our fire marshal. this order will make clear that not only must the building owner resolve their outstanding notices of violation, but they will now also be required to do

so through one of the following. either install a new sprinkler system, install a new fire alarm system or make improvements to either one of those systems. this legislation amends the housing building and fire codes and the admin code because it makes clear that the landlord will not be permitted to raise the rent on tenants to pay for the installation. landlords will not want to incur the significant price and be incentivized to keep their building safer and up to date. we have added one more provision to this legislation which is reflected in the version before you colleagues on page five beginning on lines 13. once building owners receive a notice of violation related to fire safety, they will be made aware of the consequence for not abating fire safety violations within the specified time period

and be made aware of this new law. in addition, once a building owner has reached two or more notices they will receive a warning letter letting them know they are a recipient of the order. negligent landlords need to understand if they don't take life safety then there are clear and serious consequences. i would like to thank many people who worked on this legislation starting out with the incredible rosemary who is now retired for developing this idea together with my chief of staff, caroline who have worked on this for many years and are really the brains behind this incredible piece of legislation. thank you caroline and rosemary. i hope you're watching. i also wanted to thank the fire marshal, dan decosio.

jamie and bill from dbi. and then a huge thank you to anty displacement coalition for help in developing this legislation, especially justin and tommy from the housing life committee and rose maria from the tenderloin housing clinic. i want to thank charlie from the san francisco apartment association for reviewing this and providing feedback. thank you so much. with that, in my colleagues have any questions or comments. >> supervisor tang: i think we just wanted to see the amendments and maybe we could look at them while comment is going on. >> supervisor ronen: it is in the packet you have. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you. we can just go to public. >> supervisor kim: i wanted to

say something. first i just want to thank supervisor ronen and her office for their really incredible work on this ordinance. i know when we had a number of major fires in district nine but also district six, many of us were wracking or rain or a legislation that would be appropriate to addressing this without doing a city wide requirement on every single multi-unit apartment building. it is obvious a great deal of work went into it. it is a very elegant and sump solution that help -- simple solution to help and protect lives and housing of our residents. i just want to thank you in advance because redid require springi springi springing -- sprinklers. thank you. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. >> supervisor tang: each speaker will have a few minutes.

i will call a few names to line up on the side. julio, joseph, anna, raquel veronica gomez and i will call some more after we hear from our first speakers. >> public: i agree with this and also move to expand it. the ordinance prohibiting landlords from increasing rent to cover the cost which is supposed to be paid for by the owner of the building in the first place. normally i speak up for people in low-income and very low-income brackets and people with disabilities both mental and physical. but there's a unique time where i came to speak up for people in high-income brackets who are being discriminated against and involved in rent increases based

on general routine maintenance. you claim that the rent ordinance prohibits landlords from increasing rents. i believe my last comment the rent stabilization board is not supposed to be price fixing and increasing the rents when they are supposed to be maintaining rent control. the same response has been studied by the university of berkeley pertaining to how rent control will stable out the displacement of low-income, very low-income and fixed income and people who are retired on a fixed income. by going and taking care of the business the way you have been doing -- the study produced information by professors at berkeley both law school -- [bell] >> public: san francisco,

bayview district and san francisco has lost thousands of low-income black households where lower income prices were already established. you incorporate situations per any expense that is supposed to be liable to the owner and pass it on to the tenant and undermine the tenant that is not aware of their rights pertaining to housing. you signed a contract with the owner. [bell] [microphone cut off] >> public: good afternoon. i have been working with sf tenants since 2017. i'm here today to support the legislation. i have been working with tenants who have been displaced by fires in the mission and what often goes unmentioned in this conversation about fires and

housing units is the difficult process of tenants returning to those units or their homes. housing units are supposed to be temporary displacements but they turn into permanent displacements. the fire -- they are supposed to be temporary until the proper repairs are completed. so, the fire life legislation before you can help ensure the safety and well-being of these tenants and reduce the amount of impact it has on the building and the tenants that live in the building. please support this legislation as it will help reduce the impact fires have on the san francisco tenants. thank you. >> public: hi. good afternoon. my name is leticia and i'm one

of the lead housing organizers. i have been working with tenants in the mission and other neighborhoods across the city since 2013. and i'm here today in support of this ordinance to amend the building and other housing codes to ensure landlords take the safety of their tenants seriously. i can share as an organizationer -- organizer, i have worked with tenants and i have conducted building inspections and outreach when tenants have horrible repairs. i have worked with families displaced by fire including tenants from the 22nd mission street fire and i have seen the gaping hole there with no hope. so, we really believe that this legislation is vital in

protecting the well being and safety of tenants. and although i can say that we work closely with inspectors from the department of building inspection to get landlords to obey these code violations, in the tenants unit and in the common areas of buildings, those repairs can take anywhere from six or more months to abate. so, my hope is that with the amendment of this housing code -- [bell] >> public: slum lord will take the notices of violations that are issued to them and actually fix the fire code violations rather than paying fines. and the sro hotels have sprinklers and i don't see where landlords have ignored multiple fire code violations shouldn't be held to the same standard. please vote to support and move this legislation forward.

thank you. >> public: hello. my name is raquel and i'm a housing advocate at the housing clinic. i'm part of the code enforcement outreach program and i'm a mission native. i support this legislation because every building deserves to have a fire sprinkler system that are working and up to code. as you may all know, the mission has had many fires in the last couple of years which have displaced many families. in particular, one building my friend used to live in which was on 22nd and mission. it was his senior clear of college and because of that fire, he lost everything. growing up, my mother would take my sister and i to the markets to buy produce and when we would get good grades, she would take us to popeyes. when i walk by i can think of the memories i had as a child. i will never forget the night when that building ct
