[gave [gavel]. >> chair peskin: good afternoon. welcome to the land use and transportation committee of the of the board of supervisors for today, monday, october 28, 2019. i am the chair, aaron peskin, joined to my right by vice chair supervisor ahsha safai and to my left supervisor mat haney. miss clerk, do you have any announcements? >> clerk: yes. please be sure to silence any
6:01 am
phones or electronic devices. items acted on today will appear on the november 5 board of supervisors calendar against otherwise stated. >> chair peskin: miss clerk, could you read items 1 through 5 together. >> clerk: yes. [agenda items read] >> chair peskin: thank you, ms. major. this is our tri-annual update to the aforementioned codes which requires their appeal and enactment of new 2019 editions. here on behalf of the department of building inspection, we have bill stron and michelle yu if you would like to present on items 1
6:02 am
through 6, none of which seem to be very substantive in nature, but the floor is yours. miss yu? >> good afternoon, chair peskin and committee members. i am michelle yu, and with the help of d.b.i. staff, i am responsible for helping customers with code questions, interpretation to the code as well as lead the code advisory committees. agenda items 1 through 6 are six proposed amendments to adopt the code of the california building standard commission. the codes include the building code, residential building, existing building, electrical code, mechanical, plumbing, and
6:03 am
green building code. san francisco is proposing these ordinances to repeal the six current 2016 codes and to adopt the new 2019 california building standards and san francisco amendments. the san francisco amendments to the current 2016 california codes will be carried forward as a 2019 san francisco amendments with no or little technical changes, to be consistent with the changes made by the state and to have the new codes take legal effect on january 1, 2020. the changes before you today in the san francisco amendments include mainly chapter number changes to be consistent with chapter number changes made by the state. another change that we have made is to remove language in the current code amendments that has now been captured in the 2019 california codes, which just means nationally and statewide, they are catching up with san francisco standards.
6:04 am
other than that, you are not to expect any substantial changes, and those ordinances for the carry forward and enactment of the 2014 amendments. i'm happy for your continued support and happy to answer any questions that you may have. thank you. >> chair peskin: thank you, miss yu. are there any questions for d.b.i. staff? seeing none, is there any public comment on items 1 through 6? seeing none, we'll close public comment. [gavel]. >> chair peskin: and i would move that we send items 1 through 5 to the board of supervisors with recommendation, and we will do that without objection and send item 6 with recommendation as a committee report, and we will do that without objection. [gavel]. >> chair peskin: thank you, ms. yu. madam clerk, we are waiting on the fire clerk for item 7 and i
6:05 am
do not see him in the audience, so would you take items 8 and 9 together? >> clerk: item 8 is the intention of the board of supervisors to order vacation in the streets of india basin street. item number 9 is an ordering of the vacation in the streets of india basin streets, authorizing the city to quitclaim its interest, affirming appropriate findings, and authorizing official acts in connection with the ordinance. >> chair peskin: mr. chury on behalf of the department of economic and workforce development, if you would like to tell us about the vacation and the exchange and the conveyance, the floor is yours.
6:06 am
>> thank you, chair peskin. my name is jonathan cherry, and i'm with the office of economic and workforce development. i'm here to describe these two pieces of legislation. i'll start by providing just a brief background and then i can explain how today's legislation fits into the india basin project. the board of supervisors approved the india basin project just over a year ago on october 23, 2018. the approved project includes two components, both of which are to be delivered by the developer build. first, the mixed-use development including almost 1600 new housing units, of which 300 new units, 25% of the total, will be below market-rate units, and
6:07 am
improvements to the existing rec front open space along the waterfront, and the big green, which will be a new addition to the city's southeast network of public parks. quickly, a number of other public benefits are included in the approved development agreement, including new city streets and utilities, a new bike network, including a class one bikeway through the project and a bay way trail. the project will provide space for several uses important to the community that are listed here on slide three and includes a workforce agreement with requirements during both constructions and operations of the development. the india basin project is development with a long-term use towards sustainability and resilience including on-site
6:08 am
treatment of wastewater and stormwater, reduce waste emissions through 100% clean energy and the formation of a community facilities district that will provide facilities for sea level rise mitigation on the future. we have items 7, 8, and 9 on the agenda and the board's approval of the project last year included the initiation of the street vacation process and also authorized the agreement of some of the right -of-way t the developer. it authorizes the city to enter into a public trust exchange agreement with the state of california and the developer in order to clarify the existence of the public trust status on the park area closer to the shoreline and remove the public trust designation from the private parcels on the uphill portion of the site.
6:09 am
through the development of the approved projects, the city, through the addition of new open space and new streets, will acquire more private land than it conveys. so the next few slide, i'll quickly walk-through the street vacation and how the configuration and the ownership of the parcels will change which will be implemented in parallel to the street vacation. so you see here, this is the existing site, also referred to as 700 innes. you can see innes at the bottom of the slide, and this extends to the bay between griffin street on the left of the slide to earl street on the right of the slide. the other street parcels being vacated are mostly unimproved and unaccepted right-of-way
6:10 am
which you will see on the next slide. here on slide six, you see the existing ownership of the site. in red are the portions of the site privately owned by build. the solid green areas near the shoreline are the park areas under the jurisdiction of rec park. the remaining areas shown in hatched green and blue are the areas to be vacated and this consists of right-of-way under the jurisdiction of public works in the green hatch and the area under the jurisdiction of the port in blue. the next slide, slide seven, focuses just on the streets to be vacated. of the 7.5 acres to be vacated, roughly half, 3.7 acres of parse street parcels, lie within the future park area, which is the green dashed outline here, and these will remain owned by the city, to be
6:11 am
vacated and maintained by the park and rec park. the remaining 3.8 acres of vacated streets will be conveyed to build at the time of the public trust exchange as contemplated in the development agreement. the city will temporarily reserve right-of-way easements over 1.5 acres of these street parcels to ensure there's no net loss of acreage as part of the development. slide eight illustrates the 6.4 acres of currently privately owned land that will become public land as part of the public trust exchange and the city's acceptance of new streets. this consists of 2.6 acres shown in the lighter shades of green added to the existing park area and 3.8 acres of new city streets which are shown in dark green. on slide nine, you can see the final ownership configuration
6:12 am
of the site after the public trust exchange agreement and after the development. the areas in light green will be owned by the city as park, with a public trust designation over them, and the areas in red are owned by build. finally, on slide ten, you can see the approved projects, both the mixed-use developments and the newly expanded and redesigned public parks. so on slide 11, we are requesting minor amendments that have been drafted by city attorney. committee members should have copies of this for reference. the first is on the second page and simply adds the date of the committee of the whole date. the second is on the same page, and the amendment provides the city to convey the parcels
6:13 am
through the state at the time of the trust exchange directly from the city to build. also, we would note in the ordinance on page 2, line 16, that the designation would be heard at the full board next week if approved as november 5. and on page 3, line 24 of the ordinance, the committee of the whole date of december 10. and on that topic, slide 12, here's the anticipated schedule for future hearings on both the resolution and the ordinance. this schedule results in an effective street vacation in late january. we would ask that the city forward the intention with amendment and positive recommendation to the full board hearing on november 5, and we request that the ordinance with amendments be forwarded to a committee of the whole hearing on december 10. that concludes my presentation.
6:14 am
thank you for your time, and i will be available for your questions along with public works staff. >> chair peskin: thank you, mr. cherry. are there any questions for oewd? seeing none, are there any public comment on items 8 or 9? seeing no public comment, do we have a motion -- supervisor safai? >> i just want to make sure, the streets will be accepted back and they'll be fully-accepted streets by the city? i understand the city will own those streets, but they'll be fully-accepted streets? >> yes. all of the streets that you saw in dark green, all of the streets will be fully-accepted, fully-owned streets. >> chair peskin: thank you, supervisor safai.
6:15 am
so on item 8, i would like to insert the date being december 10. on item number -- there's a blank. so that's the -- -- >> apologize, chair. for the date, that would be the november 5 resolution. >> chair peskin: no, i think that's december 10. if we're talking about file 150969, this is the resolve that says notice is here by given on blank date, 2019 i
6:16 am
believe was the november 5 date? okay. we will take that and fill that in and forward that to the full board with a positive recommendation. and then on item 9, on page 2, we will insert the date of november 5, and the city attorney will fill out the resolution -- or the clerk resolution number and file number. and then on page 3, as line 24, we will insert the december 10 date. and on page 8 at line 17, we'll insert the language of either directly or indirectly through the state right before sub-2. and if there's knox, we'll take those amendments without objection. [gavel]. >> chair peskin: and then, we
6:17 am
will forward agenda item number 9 to the full board for december 10 at amended without objection. >> mr. givner: deputy city attorney jon givner. the committee made the motion to forward it without recommendation on december 15? >> chair peskin: that's true. without recommendation, as amended, without recommendation on hearing december 10, 2019. we'll take that without objection. [gavel]. >> chair peskin: madam clerk, could you please read item number seven. [agenda item read] >> chair
6:18 am
peskin: and here to present on behalf of our fire department is fire marshal decosio. >> good afternoon, commissioners. dan decosio here to speak to the 2019 amendments to the fire code. there are a handful of changes. i will highlight those changes and answer any questions that you may have. >> chair peskin: please proceed. >> okay. number one, many of the sections were renumbered, so
6:19 am
it's just a matter of renumbering sections. the fees live in a different section. the fees have already been aof proed by the board of supervisors. the -- have already been approved by the board of supervisors. the fees are subject to the administrative proposal that we have in place, and that was a process we started about two years ago and it deals with violations that are ongoing that are not abated, and we have a hearing process in place to address those. so our attempt here is to recoup our costs of the administrative hearings. in addition, we now have -- specifically identify or spell out the requirements for who we considered -- what kind of credentials you need to perform work on fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and maintain systems. we're being explicit about that
6:20 am
and entering that into the code. also fire escapes. with regard to access to require escapes, what is an obstruction? we're clarifying that, as well, to include locked doors and roomed -- fire escapes to include locked doors and rooms behind a fire escapes. and then lastly, fire escapes, we require documentation that their fire escape has been certified and inspected within the last five years and i'll answer any questions that you may have at this time. >> chair peskin: colleagues, any questions for the fire marshal? seeing none, is there any public comment on item number seven? seeing no public comment, thank you, mr. decosio, and we will send this to the full board with a recommendation as a committee report for hearing tomorrow, the 29 of october
6:21 am
without objection. >> very good. thank you. [gavel]. >> chair peskin: madam clerk, could you please read item ten. >> clerk: item ten is a measure urging treasure island benefit authority for post disposition agreement. >> chair peskin: supervisor haney? >> supervisor haney: thank you, chair peskin. and i know that chair peskin and supervisor safai, you're very familiar with the treasure island development. this is a development that will transform the island with 8,000 units of housing. it broke ground this year, and it has been in the works for decades. in 2011, a development and disposition agreement or d.d.a. was signed outlining the development work and transition for leaseholders. and one of the things that it laid out was a process for us to make sure that the residents of the island, nearly 2,000,
6:22 am
have access to the development and have a plan for relocation. during the course of the development, all of the residents will need to be relocated in some way. one of the things that came to my attention in the first few months of time as supervisor in meeting with people on the island and serving on tida and representing the island is a lot of concern and anxiety and questions about what would happen both for people who were pre-d.d.a. who moved there before 2011 and after d.d.a., who moved there after 2011. if you had only lived on the island a year or two, you would not have benefits. but now, it's been eight years, and the development is not slated to be done until after
6:23 am
2030. so this offer that has come out of conversations with tida and mohcd applies to more residents. some folks could have lived on the island for 20 years while the development is taking place until it's completed, and i think we have a duty to take care of the residents of treasure island who are being asked through no fault of their own. i want to appreciate tida director bob beck who's been a supporter and partner in coming up with some new options for what those transition housing benefits will be, and i think director beck is going to present on some of those. >> chair peskin: bob, the floor is yours. >> thank you, chair peskin, members of the committee. bob beckwi with the treasure
6:24 am
island development authority. supervisor haney did a good job of presenting the framework for the treasure island development network and so i'll go into a little more detail on that and talk about what we currently propose to -- the measures that are currently proposed to address the intention of the resolution. just as backdrop for our discussion, neither state or federal relocation law required the residents of the island to be provided with relocation benefits, but the board of supervisors and the mayor, when they endorsed the 2006 development plan for the island directed tida and the developer to come back with a proposal with plans to provide residents at the time of entitlement with transition housing benefits. and those are the benefits that we have in plan today.
6:25 am
in 2011, when the disposition development agreement and related documents were adopted, the housing and transition plans kind of captured the framework for both the residential development program on the island and also the transition benefit programs. the housing plan itself is the guiding document for the development of market rate and affordable housing. for our affordable housing, the average affordability for the 2,173 units that we'll be developing is below 50% of a.m.i. or area median income, and 5% of those units are to be developed by the developer as inclusionary units within the market rate with the balance being developed by treasure island development authority and mohcd and affordable
6:26 am
providers on 20 parcels located throughout the development. the 1 treasure island development transition housing plan provides for the future transition of our current affordable housing residents on the island. and the second document was the transitional housing rules and regulations for residents of the villages at treasure island, those being our property rate management of rental units on the island. under the transition housing rules and regulation, benefits were extended, as supervisor haney mentioned, and i previously mentioned, to the residents that were living on the island at the time the entitlement documents were approved in 2011 and only provided to those residents that came to the island in the
6:27 am
future to receive advisory services. so to kind of graphically i illustrate what that means for our population, first, in the yellow circle, we have the residents of the one treasure island program member agencies. that includes catholic charities, community housing partnership, swords to plow shares and housing 360. all of those are governed by the one treasure island transition housing plan. and then, we have on the left, we have pre-d.d.a. households. those are households where all members of the household were residing on the island in 2011. we have post-d.d.a. households, which are households where everybody on the lease currently has came to the island after 2011, and we have some mixed households where --
6:28 am
that were originally pre-d.d.a. households and some household members moved out and other household members moved in. so it includes both people who were a resident in 2011 and those who came since 2011. for the one treasure island residents and the one treasure island transition plan, it requires that tida will develop in partnership with one treasure island agencies not less than 435 units, and in fact our first four projects that we're planning to construct will be in partnership with these first housing providers. swords to plow shares is expected to break ground this spring and catholic charities roughly nine months later. we're not limited to developing
6:29 am
435 units. after we've divided these first four projects, we'll develop future projects through an r.f.p. process, and we -- we will partner with those agencies in the future. the one treasure island transition housing plan provides all households in good standing will be offered replacement units in a member agency's building when it's completed. so all of our current 36 swords to plow shares households are expected to transition to the swords to plow shares building when it is completed. for the villages at treasure islands, the benefits included when required to make a long-term move, a long-term move to be to a new unit, to take a new rental unit on the
6:30 am
island at a rent controlled relative to their current rent with some adjustments, and in lieu of if they chose to leave the island or if they were interested in pursuing a market rate unit either for rent or purchase in the new development, they would have a premarketing opportunity and could receive downtown payment assistance towards either a for sale market rate unit or a for sail affordable unit from -- from tida through the transitional housing rules and regulations. the replacement units to be provided under the housing rules and regulations are to be provided in the buildings developed by tida and the city within 100% affordable,
6:31 am
otherwise 100% affordable buildings. because the initial occupants, if someone is accepting a new rental unit and don't otherwise meet the income requirements for affordable unit, we cannot construct those units using affordable tax credits and some specifics for affordable housing, which means we need to come up with roughly an additional $300,000 in local resources to come up with that. but the units are deed restricted and come up upon turnover. the cost to replace the original unit considered the original -- the bedroom size to replace the original unit considered the original household and bedroom size and
6:32 am
affordable income and program requirements. so the -- what we're proposing now for post d.d.a. residents who have moved to the island since 2011, the resolution you have before you today urges us to expand the relocation and transition benefits available for post d.d.a. households. again, just as background, under the transitional housing rules and regulations, currently, they're provided only with advisory services, and leases have disclosed that the housing is interim and without relocation benefits. and at this time, we don't anticipate any of the existing housing needing to be vacated for the purposes of development within the next five years, and it being ten or more years before we need to ask people to
6:33 am
permanently vacate units within the villages inventory without offering them replacement units. and the image in the lower right hand of the screen right now illustrates our existing residential neighborhood overlaid with the future street network of the development. so you can see on what is the eastern side of the existing residential neighborhood, that doesn't underlie future development site, but it underlies future open spaces. so as development requires the properties on the western or southern side of the diagram to be vacated, we should have vacancies on the north or eastern side of the neighborhood that we can relocate people into, and it's not until the last phases of the development program that we would need to finish the
6:34 am
process of vacating the historical navy housing. so in consultation with the city attorney's office and the mayor's office of housing and community development and as proposed any resolution, any new benefit would be provided to a date-defined population. for example, residency established after 2011 but prior to january 2020. and this would mean inevitably, even if we don't do any future leasing of future units, that in the process of roommates moving out and roommates moving in, we will have people whose residency is established after that defined window and won't be established in the procedures we implement and propose to implement in the coming weeks. so what we are currently proposing is including all post d.d.a. residents in the
6:35 am
premarketing opportunities for market rate housing. this requires developer concurrence under the d.d.a., but that's a concurrence that they've indicated they would give. and it would prioritize income qualifying post d.d.a. income residents in newly constructed units. so as each unit of affordable housing becomes available, we would go through the process of filling those, and any income qualifying pre-d.d.a. how's holds could be placed into them followed by income qualifying post d.d.a. residents before going to the -- to the mohcd's larger preference framework for the filling of new affordable units. we're proposing that these benefits extended to post d.d.a. residents be suborted to
6:36 am
post d.d.a. residents, meaning we would seek to place all income qualifying post d.d.a. residents and then all post d.d.a. residents. these could be made with tida board approval. unlike the transitional housing rules and regulations, these changes would not extend the offer of in lieu payment benefits to post d.d.a. residents and would not offer replacement units to post d.d.a. residents unless they meet the income qualification requirements for affordable housing. and it also would not extend to
6:37 am
commercial laeaseholders. we do have a small number of residential leases that are with entities for commercial housing and under the original thr&rs, we would propose to leave that the same. so going forward, we plan -- our november meeting of the treasure island development authority board will be held on the island in the evening. we plan to have a discussion of those proposed changes at that meeting. also as directed by the resolution, we will be developing an outreach plan. we've been engaged with the predisposition and development agreement residents for the last 1.5 years, preparing them for upcoming housing opportunities, and then bring these proposed changes for consideration to the tida board
6:38 am
in december and then also expand our work with the developer in preparation for the initial premarketing windows which we expect to occur in 2020, and with that, i'll take any questions you may have. >> chair peskin: supervisor haney? >> supervisor haney: i don't know if there's public comment -- do you want me to ask my questions now? >> chair peskin: let me see. are there any members of the public who would like to testify on item number 10? seeing number, public comment is closed. [gavel]. >> supervisor haney: okay. i have a number of questions, and i appreciate your willingness to make sure we support these residents. so the first is about how we define this population. i see that residency established after 2011 but prior to january 2020, i have some concern about that because we are still potentially -- you know, somebody moves in -- i
6:39 am
guess, are folks still moving in after january 2020, and would we get to a point where if somebody was still living there for seven or eight years and has no benefits? >> we -- we don't have any plans for the villages to continue entering into new leases. however, there's no restriction on someone adding a roommate, and so through the process of roommates moving in and out of units, we anticipate that there will be some future population that, through the process of being added to a -- an existing lease, could not qualify for these benefits in the future. >> supervisor haney: and so again, my concern would be there that somebody may be living there for -- you said ten years from now until they're even asked to leave from the villages.
6:40 am
so if someone moved in because of a roommate situation in january 2020 and then, they could be there for ten years and have no -- still no access to any sort of benefits at all. >> potentially, yes. >> supervisor haney: okay. well, that's something i haddy like to talk further about. you know, maybe some way of in the future setting a certain -- because i feel like -- like there will be a board -- i don't want to have to come back in 2020 for this new set of people that are there. for anyone who's -- who's living there for some amount of time, having some level of priority so that they're not -- when the development actually starts so that they're not left kind of hanging out to dry there is a lot of what my intention is here. the other -- the other -- couple pieces of this, so
6:41 am
prioritize income qualifying. can you qualify what income qualifying means and also what the prioritize means? we have a -- you know, it says explicitly that they wouldn't have a certificate of preference. i've read that in one of the reports. so what exactly is the priority that they have, and over and above whom, and do we have a sense that they'll be actually able to access the housing? >> yeah. so i'm trying to -- >> supervisor haney: so the first is what does income qualifying mean? >> so it will depend upon the individual development. so this would also give people the opportunity to pursue inclusionary affordable unit does. so the typical affordable units is 80 to 120% of area median income.
6:42 am
most of the city developed units will be 40 to 60% of area median income although the funding sources utilized, could be as high as 80% of area median income. so i don't have the presize numbers, but i believe the -- precise numbers, but i believe the current numbers for a family of four, area median income is on the order of $120,000 a year. so a family earning 50% of area median income would be $60,000 roughly for a family of four. but again, family earning 120% of area median income, pursuing a unit, that could be as high as $140,000. >> supervisor haney: got it. i'm just wondering, for example, in the villages, based on what the rent is now -- do
6:43 am
we have a sense of kind of what percentage of the post d.d.a. households would income qualify? >> we -- as i mentioned for the last 1.5 years, we've been engaged in a lot of dialogue with our residents that have been there since prior to 201,# and we have good information on population of their household incomes. i think there's reason to believe that our post d.d.a. residents are from a similar demographic. if that's correct, then as much as 40% or more of current households would qualify for affordable housing. >> supervisor haney: got it. the other thing is around this -- so because of this, then, we'd also have -- we'd have to have a process to collect information from our -- >> part of our outreach process
6:44 am
would be to engage people in the dialogue, educate them on what the requirements are and see if they potentially fit in the income brackets that could pursue these opportunities. >> supervisor haney: got it. so i have some questions about the no extension to in lieu benefits of post d.d.a. residents. my understanding -- and i'm sort of thinking about what it would be like, you know, for a family or for a person or whoever who's been living on the island for potentially up to this .18 yeapoint, 18 years maybe because they don't income qualify or aren't able to get into one of the housing units because they don't win the lottery or what, that they would be asked to leave with no
6:45 am
benefit given to them at all, that seems to be complete out of place in how we deal with people that are evicted through no fault of their own. if you are evicted because of an owner move in, in the city and county of san francisco, you have some relocation benefits that are given to you. and essentially what we are doing here is an owner move in. we're saying there's some sort of other owner redevelopment use for this, and through no fault of their own, they are being evicted. now i recognize that they signed leases at some point saying that they weren't necessarily entitled to the benefits, but i do think that it's worth considering that if
6:46 am
somebody's post d.d.a., and they still live where they are when their unit is being demolished and redeveloped, and they can't access housing on the island, that there should be some benefits provided to that household. so it may be some very small number. i recognize that pred.d.a. households can take the in-lieu benefit at any time. they sort of own that benefit. they don't have to wait for the -- and i understand why that's kind of a different benefit than you might provide post d.d.a. but if we're evicting someone and they're not able to access housing, and we're demolishing their unit, generally, in best practices, and what we've extended to most everyone we can here in san francisco and to have some relocation benefits for that person or family. >> just on the subject of the
6:47 am
in-lieu benefit as it applies to the pre-d.d.a. households, it was anticipated at the time that the transitional housing rules and regulations and actually incorporated into the transitional housing rules and regulations based on comment from existing residents that if it got to be in the range of seven to eight years post entitlement and households had not been offered a replacement unit yet, that we would -- originally, the in-lieu payment was to be offered at the time households were asked to move and not available otherwise. but in the discussion and the preparation of the transitional housing rules and regulations, based on resident concerns that development might take some time to develop to occur,
6:48 am
provisions were made to offer an early in-lieu payment to households after some seven to eight years if they had not yet been offered a replacement unit. and so this last may, we opened that opportunity up to the -- the existing population. and i believe at this point, seven households have taken advantage of that opportunity. as far as the post-d.d.a. households, it's something we could take under evaluation. the -- i think that would-g -- i'd need to consult with the city, but i think it would be more of an amendment of the housing rules and regulations through the board because we're extending a financial benefit, but we can continue that dialogue. >> supervisor haney: okay.
6:49 am
yeah, because i think in the same sense, whether -- whether an in-lieu benefit payment makes sense for post-d.d.a. is one part of the question which may be a more extensive allocation, but for the post-d.d.a. folks who are actually qualified for our priority here, however we define it, at the point through which they are no fault evicted, the city should do just as we ask in an owner evict or anything else, provide some relocation to any person or household, regardless of their income. now we have a little time to figure that out, ten years or something, but it does seem like something we have a responsibility to do. did you answer the question about the priority? >> yeah. our transitional housing rules and regulations as they exist
6:50 am
today create a contractual obligation for the treasure island development authority to offer replacement housing to the pre-d.d.a. residents. so that obligation creates a priority. it's a priority that moves those pre-d.d.a. units to the top of the list of those constructed on treasure island. so this proposal to the thr&r's would apply to the contractual

references -- >> supervisor haney: the regular references that mohcd has. great. got it. thank you. >> chair peskin: supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: yeah. just to follow up on a couple of questions that supervisor haney had. this does somewhat -- i don't want to overstate it, but it does somewhat trouble me, as well. if what i'm reading, supply transition benefits to households before the d.d.a. was adopted in 2011. we're in 2019. that's eight years. so how many residents and how
6:52 am
many households are post 2011? >> we have a total of 650 households on the island -- actually, it's around 630. 250 of those are low-income households. so of the remaining 350, 110 are exclusively pre-d.d.a. >> supervisor safai: of the 380. >> of the 380. >> >> supervisor safai: so the 250 -- >> they're all taken care of. >> supervisor safai: so of the 380, we're talking about the remain remainder -- 380, it's almost half. >> there are another 40 that are commercial leases, so
6:53 am
there's about 140 that are currently post-d.d.a., 100% post-d.d.a. >> chair peskin: and what's the time? some of them could be yesterday? >> well, some roommates -- i know that people have moved to the island as roommates within the past three months. others could date to 2011, 2012. >> supervisor safai: and i think supervisor haney asked this. what income category do these folks fall into. you asked that, right, supervisor? >> yeah. we haven't done extensive engagement with these households yet, but if we assume they fall into the same relative graphics as our other d.d.a. households, we expect roughly 40% would qualify for
6:54 am
low-income housing. >> supervisor safai: it seems you should make this a priority of this development. >> yeah. and we would begin the same engagement -- >> supervisor safai: is that what you asked for, supervisor haney? [inaudible] >> supervisor safai: on the mic. repeat what you're saying. so out of the 380 that are not affordable, 140, those are set. 40, take out 40t for commercia. and out of the remaining, 40% would income qualify. so my question was wouldn't we try to focus on helping those 40%? >> supervisor haney: yeah, and that's what the proposal is giving them a priority right under the d.d.a. so they would get access to housing. >> and we would begin -- we have a consultant that's supporting us in engaging with
6:55 am
existing households, and we would propose to, upon adoption of these benefits, launch the same engagement efforts with that -- >> supervisor safai: you used the word roommates is. i'd be interested to see what the make is of these 140. some of these might be family, extended family that moved in due to our housing crisis, so that might be good to know. >> yes. we have all of those circumstances. multigenerational housing, college units. >> supervisor safai: yeah. but if we can breakdown the 140, that would be good to know. thank you, chair. thank you, supervisor haney. >> chair peskin: would you like to send this forward to the
