the planning department on finalizing the end design of the building, so that's why the design that you see in front of you on the screen is slightly different than what you have in your package. but we have recently submitted our second round city, and they have limited comments, so i don't see too much problem moving forward. the project will still meet the requirements of the sutter-kearney historic guidelines and will continue the plane of the existing street facade, the storefront at the ground level will provide the main entries into the hotel lobby and the retail, and there'll also be a secondary egress to the side alley of the building, as well.

once the project is in title, we'll bring on things such as building designers, and we'll also continue working with the acoust acoustical engineers who will provide the studies. we weren't surprised that the p.o.e., noise, did not significantly add to the ambient noise at night. additionally, we've been working at frost street lighthouse, and we haven't received any opposition to date, but both ross and i are here to answer any questions that you might have about the

project. >> president bleiman: have a questi -- i have a question. there's a bar at the ground level. is this bar that's being built, is it going to be the owners of the hotel or they're going to bring in a management crew to run the hotel? >> it's going to be the latter. they're looking for it to be a brand, but it's yet to be selected. >> president bleiman: so the bar area, the coolest trend is to have a d.j. always in the bar. so the windows that you have in the front, are they going to be enough to keep sound from leaking out versus obviously, the other clubs are kind of far away. i don't think you're going to impact too much, unless the people on the higher floors, but i think the closest club maybe is 11 propaganda, but

that's just around the corner. if you put in a bar, will it be an issue? do you have the proper rating of the windows going out? >> we'll have to check with our acoustical engineering. we don't have the ground level set yet. i think we're envisioning this to be a pretty luxurious hotel. >> president bleiman: you've been to the w hotel, right? >> yes. >> president bleiman: and you know their lobby? >> yes. >> president bleiman: it could be as loud as that, or it could

be just ambience. you know, the better the insulation, you know, the better the sound, so i'm just thinking if you had that in mind. >> we haven't thought about that, but we will bring that up with our acoustic consultant. >> president bleiman: and there's no function rooms in this hotel, is there? >> no. >> president bleiman: okay. thank you very much for presenting. it does seem like the permit holders are pretty far away from you. we thank you for coming in. we would encourage you to upyo up your s.t.c. rating as much as you can so you can coexist. >> thank you. >> president bleiman: thank you. and then, we will take a vote

on putting forward these recommendations to the -- to the planning commission if i'm not -- if i am correct. but first, we'll see if there's any public comment on this agenda item. seeing none, public comment is closed. and do we have a motion to put forward the staff recommendations? >> approve. >> second. [roll call] >> president bleiman: all right. congratulations. thank you very much. moving along to the next agenda item, it is number 5, which is hearing and possible action for permits under the jurisdiction of the entertainment commission, and we've already handled 5-c, so i'll cross that one out. i'll let acting director azevedo present the other two. >> thank you.

the next item is change of permit and ownership for el toro, located at 1740 el toro avenue. the new owners intend to keep the same programming as the previous owner of t. the applicants held a community meeting to discuss their permit application, where they received support from the portola neighbor association. they also collected 75 letters of support, including four tenants in the neighboring residential building. they received no opposition. here to tell you more are owners juan burgos -- and no, i don't know your name -- is owner juan burgos. >> hello. good evening. yeah. as miss kaitlyn stated right now, keep it going, we had a

meet and be merry the other day in the community, and just want to keep el toro going as is. i started going to el toro 20 years ago, and my -- my manager here, he's promoted el toro. he brought different bands, groups, stuff like that, to the previous el toro -- to the previous owner, jorge, sr., and jorge, jr., and keep working with owners of the past, so that's what we have planned. >> okay. so can you tell me more about -- as running an operation like this? i mean, have you been in this kind of business before? >> yes. i currently have a bar in hayward, a bar and night club in hayward. i've been there four years. it's at 21859 mission boulevard in hayward. >> i like that plug. in case you want to go to

hayward. any special nights to attend? >> they're only open friday and saturday nights. >> okay. >> yeah, friday and saturday. >> and then, on your manager -- and you've been working at the place for a while? >> since 2006. >> 2006? >> 2006. you've been running all the security, sound, everything? >> well, mostly, the big name bands we have there on mondays, saturdays, but i've been there since 2006. before that, i was a musician, so since 1992, i've been performing at el toro. >> okay. and you guys have in-house security? >> correct. >> okay. >> so it's a company. >> it's a company? >> yeah. >> you pay the company -- you don't pay the company, you pay the employees? >> yeah, a company. >> well, there's no complaints.

i don't see any issues, so i guess you've been running it pretty well. >> we try. >> since my colleague was just talking about security, how do you staff your security? >> we bring our security guy, juan -- he's out of town, but he brings us on a busy night, six guards. he brings us one at 6:00, and the rest come in at 9:30, 10:00. >> and what's your occupancy? >> 250. >> okay. great. thank you. >> questions? i don't have any questions, so thank you very much for coming in. appreciate it. wish you continued success. >> thank you. >> nice to see a -- nice to see a place continue in the same vein, in the same neighborhood for so long. >> is there any public comment on this agenda item?

seeing none, public comment is closed. did i see staff recommendations on this one? >> yeah. it's the same memo that had the other staff recommendations? >> so do we have a motion to approve? >> motion to approve the -- with staff recommendation, approval with the good neighbor policy, existing internal sound limit, and the additional condition that the permit holder is that send monthly calendar of events to sfpd bayview station. >> i second. [roll call]

>> okay. so the final permit on tonight's agenda is for a limited live performance permit for el trebol -- [inaudible] >> -- but since then, they have not -- they have suspended all entertainment until tonight's hearing to determine if they were granted the l.l.p. permit. please note that the applicant previously was having entertainment until 2:00 a.m., however, their zoning district only allows for an l.l.p. unless they go through a

conditional use authorization with the planning department, and they are aware and have agreed to only have live entertainment until 10:00 p.m. the owner distributed 200 fliers in english and spanish. there was one person that submitted a letter of opposition, and that is included in the file. mission station did approve the file, but had some concerns about safety and security. as such, they have included the conditions below. none of them required discipline, but there is to ensure responsible safety practices going forward, and here to tell you more is owner francisco ramos. >> hi. >> hello. my here is jose gonzales. i'm here to assist mr. ramos

with translating. >> hi. i don't speak so good english, and i want to make sure i get it right so i don't do nothing wrong here, so thank you. [speaking spanish language] >> mr. ramos has been involved in the community for the last 38 to 40 years. he's been involved in many of the taquerias, managing them, running them. he's pretty well known in the district and respected. >> would you mind asking him -- can you just tell us a little bit about what kind of entertainment you're hoping to host going forward and whether or not you'll be bringing in promoters and what kind of sound system you have. those are going to be the questions we have.

>> yeah. he only plans to have a d.j., just to play the music that the clients like. he has no intentions whatsoever of bringing in any outside entertainment. >> okay. and can he tell us a little bit about the sound system that the d.j. is playing off of? >> not really, no, because the d.j.s, they put -- so he does have one d.j. box, and it's an old system, and it does have speakers within, but when the d.j. comes in, they usually bring their own system, so he's not too knowledgeable as far as what kind of systems they have. maybe about four speakers. >> so basically, he allows the d.j. or whatever the band to bring in -- >> well, there's no band, just a d.j. >> okay. so does he have any plans to

have his own system there, because when you bring in -- okay. >> go ahead -- yeah, he does plan to bring in a d.j. he does have a system that's very old. it's about the size of this system. the area that you has for the -- that he has for the d.j. is very small. it's about four by five. >> yeah. that's not the problem. the problem is when an outside person brings in equipment, they don't really understand the outside level that your building can hold the sound.

>> so he says that he'll go ahead -- whatever condition they have, he'll sit with them, speak with the d.j.s, and let them know what the criteria is. >> well, the deal is if you want to limit the complaints or citations, you know, it would be interesting if he would invest in that. or he has to have a sound meter to at least whatever the inspector sets you at, if you're going to go over that, you're going to get a ticket. >> so what alternative he says, he can go ahead and use the existing system, which has i believe passed a sound limiting

test. so what he can do is use not any outside d.j.s whatsoever, use the existing system until he decides if he wants to invest in a new system, and then have it approved. >> yeah. if it's already been approved, have the d.j. bring his computer, and he can play, and you should be okay. i'm just giving you the future around what issues can happen. and i'm just curious, how did he get into this business of owning this bar? >> because i was working in the mission for years. i was working in the taquerias. and he had a bar. and i'm management to him.

and then, i think i do well, he did very well. and now, i have the same opportunity. i have the hub for business plus the bar now, and he thinks it's good. i'm never drinking, i never do anything, but i think the bar is a good thing. people are happy, and they like it in the mission area. >> and the other bars that you ran had entertainment, as well? >> no, this is the first one. >> okay. and so you're familiar with other bars that do have entertainment and issues that they may have with patrons and security? >> oh, yeah. >> okay.

>> yeah, of course, yeah. >> and then, the d.j.s that you're bringing in, how do you find these d.j.s? >> okay. i have two, but they contact us, and they say oh, i'm working in wherever, and then, we try -- if people don't like it, they don't like it because some people don't listen. i have two guys only that i've had for many years. i control them. i tell them if i don't like this, they don't do it. >> so you control your own d.j.s and the music format? >> yes, of course. >> and you understand this permit is only until 10:00? >> yes. unfortunately, yeah. >> if everybody is having a

good time, and it's 10:00, you're going to have to shut it down. >> you know, the problem is the mexican community, the latino community, they're -- but it's okay. i will respect the rules and will check with you guys. i don't want to have any problems with you guys, either. i want to have a successful business over there. >> okay. thank you. >> i did have -- we have some more questions. >> hello. thanks for coming in. just want to make sure that part of the conditions of the good neighbor policy, that you are responsible for maintaining outside of your business within 100 feet to be clean and sanitary every day. you understand that? >> i do. >> and what's your plan for doing that? what's your plan for keeping it clean and sanitary?

>> so at the end of every night, he says that he has a cleanup crew, and he can go ahead and direct them -- he doesn't know if they go 100 feet out, but he'll direct the area. >> okay. so he'll direct the staff -- >> yeah. they go right out front, but he'll just direct them to go further out. >> okay. thank you. >> i just want to acknowledge the fact that you have been doing business in the mission for over four decades, and you, yourself, are an institution, so i'm really happy to hear that you have multiple businesses at this point. el farrolito's is one of my

favorite places. >> i'm engineer for most of my career. i came to the united states because i have an opportunity for work. i'm an electroengineer, but salvador gave me an opportunity washing dishing for $2 an hour. i started working with him. the second week, he offers me a career. six years later, i'm the manager for everything. i'm going to speak english, but it's hard for me sometimes to understand very well. but i try to do my best in the places. el farrolito, do you know

puerta vallarta? >> yes. >> that's one of our places, too. >> one of the things that i want to say on this is the entertainment commission, my colleagues, we want to support you on the opening of these bars. i know that you are actually the real stakeholder that wants to see the night life and entertainment and all the small businesses in the 24th street mission corridor to succeed, so i just want to kind of reiterate that we are here to support you in this process and get you into compliance. there's a list of staff recommendations here. i just wanted to confirm that they have been reviewed with you around the good neighbor policy and also these conditions that were recommended by the san francisco p.d. mission station, is that correct? >> yes, it is.

>> yeah, we discussed them. he's in agreement. >> yeah. i just wanted to bring up one of those specifically, and i just want to make sure that he understands what it is, which is number 6. the permit holder is required to have an i.d. scanner, and i think some people think it's if the i.d. scanner is good or not, but in this case, the i.d. scanner captures all the i.d. information of every person walks into a bar and holds it in a data bank. i just want to know if that might impact his business to have everybody to enter a database to enter. >> yeah, let me explain that part to him. >> yeah. [inaudible] >> i thought it was just validating an i.d.

>> just so you know, my personal feeling, i.d. scanners, they should only be used in extreme situations, and we're not there yet, but i just want to hear his opinions if he thinks it may hurt his business to have everybody enter their information. >> so mr. ramos, he says he has no choice. if that's a condition, he has to follow it, but he's not sure

his clients are going to follow this. >> we may be able to, once he sits down, to clean that up. i think we'll see how we fall on that. i just wanted to see how he fell on that topic. >> you mentioned earlier, the lead training. i have other clients that deal with lead training. >> okay. and then, i have a couple other things. i know, mr. ramos, you're a staple in the community. i have some bars in the commission myself, and we -- some bars in the mission myself, and we value you in the community. you had a d.j., you didn't do anything -- there's much worse things to do than have a d.j., but i just want to make sure he understands what compliance

means. we're going to be checking your security, and i think some concerns from police and staff haven't necessarily been around sound so much as security concerns, so incidents that cause people to be injured or things like that. >> he's going to talk to his managers about that and beef up security and make sure they're properly trained. >> part of that compliance would be following these security procedures, and we're going to be checking specifically to make sure they're being followed at all times, and our inspectors are

kind of relentless in this case, so i just want to make sure he understands that we're always checking on everyone, and -- yeah. and then -- yeah, so that's a big thing. and the other thing is making sure that sound is not an issue going forward, and it sounds like it's not the main issue, just that we're going to be -- but i also want to explain that we're great partners, and we want to work together as opposed to against each other. so i don't think there's anymore questions here. you guys can have a seat, and we can discuss this. so first of all, is there any public comment on this jaeagen item? seeing none, public comment is closed. i do have concerns about the security i.d. scanner language. >> i have a proposal. >> okay. >> what i would like to propose, once everyone's kind

of had their comments is we approve the conditions as written, but regarding condition number 6, it remains as states with the exception that i.d. scanners shall be a condition that works toward the age and validity of the i.d. being presented. >> that appeases me. >> and what i'm saying is there is no data storage. which is not what i'm saying, but that's what occurs. >> yeah. i just feel like a neighborhood bar with a d.j. is not necessarily -- like, when we say you need to be winding down, people and so on -- >> well, i think that the police were recommending that given historical things that have happened in there that have caused them to be a little more concerned about this. >> and if i can make a suggestion, perhaps down the road, with some good behavior,

we can relook at these issues because we do have some history here that we might want to be mindful of? >> yeah. i think generally, i appreciate the sfpd and the mission station's concern for security. i just -- and i think that, you know, when there's been a history in the venue which both beauty bar and this one have had, but i don't want to go into too far requiring security, upending lives, requiring security in a -- requiring i.d. in a neighborhood behalf. i don't want us to be oversecuring places with an l.l.p., which i think is different than if there's been a history at the venue. >> well, my thoughts on that, they have to get an l.l.p.

because they have no choice. if they have had a history -- they have security not just for the place but for their own other patrons. maybe if you don't want to do metal detection, maybe they can do pat downs to just see. >> i think we're getting tricky because it's getting invasive. >> it's in condition five. i think if we do something like this, we have to be very strategic about it, but i defer to my colleagues. >> yeah, and i understand it's just a bar, but because the past history, i think we should

all be a little cautious. in six months, they can come back and say the crowd's totally different or whatever, and it maybe that we can just lead the conditions. >> i'm just curious in terms of if there is another case that's an l.l.p. that requires an i.d. scanner and metal detector wand. 10:00 p.m.? i'm still awake at 10:00 p.m. >> what's your concern about safety? because if it's 2:00 a.m., it's more appropriate? >> well, it's a question of equity to me. like, how we have enforced in the pass. >> well, i understand equity, but i think we have to be to your point premise specific, and that's why i don't want to broad stroke anyone. we're actually validating our purpose here because this is very specific to this place, where if we were doing this

across the board, i would agree that -- that then we're really not being very analytical about it. but i think when we have a place that has some history that was out of compliance -- and to commissioner lee's point, i would absolutely support a revisit in six to 12 months. i do like to think that our permits are a privilege and not a right. and with that theme that they will perform successfully, and they will be well rewarded for that. >> i also think that we could ask deputy director to talk through some of the incidents that -- which might be helpful, but there were some that brought up a little more public safety concerns than is -- certain more than average, and some that were a little -- maybe you want to go through some of the public incidents that we've had. >> there have been six police incident reports submitted since january 2019, and four

were since july, so a little bit of an uptick. the -- i will state that it's -- there were some, i would say three, that were not concluesive to what actually transpired. the details report was just unclear about what the victim actually was claiming had transpired, and the security could not confirm that it had occurred inside. so we're talking a bottle over the head. there was an incident report of -- i don't know, can i say this? >> i don't, i don't want -- >> -- no, i don't want -- >> there was a bottle incident that was traced to happening inside with patrons inside the bar. so there were a couple of al r altercations inside the bar, but in a couple, patrons didn't

give clear statements, so they couldn't make a distinction if in fact it did occur or if they were inside the bar. >> you know, if i can have one other thought. you know, mission station did work hard on this. they also worked collaboratively with the applicant. the applicants actually agreed to all of this. and i would also put a little bit more weight in mission than some of our other stations because they are particularly well trained on this topic and they are very thorough. i think we saw that with the earlier application tonight. and i think i personally would like to defer to their expertise because we're trying to solve something in a ten or 20-minute presentation, where they had multiple meetings with these owners. i think it's important to consider that the applicant agreed to all of these. >> i think that's a really good point. i think of all the stations

that have worked alongside of us, mission has been one of the best. i do want to encourage mission station to continue to work with us. but i also think if we were to go forward with the conditions as they are, that we should encourage the applicant to come back in, having shown a track record of coming back in, and if they are causing issues, so please do -- reach out to us. that's where i am personally. >> yes. i think both with commissioner falzon's amendment and this, i'm fine to approving this? >> and i wouldn't mind the director to putting a tickle on the file to revisit this in four or six months. >> if we move forward with the motion, i will need you to

repeat -- >> absolutely, and i wrote it down. >> oh, you wrote it down? >> i can read it one more time. so the motion is to go with the existing eight conditions and following condition number six -- and i'll pass this off to you when we're done. the next sentence shall be, an i.d. scanner shall be interpreted to be a device that works toward validating the age and validity of the i.d. being presented. >> that's a specific type of equipment that's purchased? >> i.d. scanners is a broad term, and i think commissioner falzon's intent is something that verifies i.d., not captures data. >> so we don't want to do data storage is what the commission's proposing. >> right. that's something that the applicant can purchase. >> yeah. there's a zillion versions.

>> we might say instead of having that long sentence, just a verification device. >> i'm good with whatever you guys are good with. >> and my understanding, just for the record, when i've heard the term i.d., it's very specific, and it's often understood to mean the thing that it processes. >> we can get very literal, if you want to simply leave it and state an i.d. scanner that does not score data. >> or just say permit holder shall utilize an i.d. verification device. >> that's what i like, what she said. >> i like that, too. thank you, commissioner. i get paid by the hour, so i can get very wordy sometimes. >> are you keeping the last half of the sentence? >> yes. >> okay. so we're just keeping it to an i.d. verification device. >> that was a very long winded

motion. and we will need a second. >> second. [roll call] >> congratulations. you've been approved, and i would encourage you to follow up with deputy director azevedo at your earliest convenience. >> thank you. >> good luck. >> thank you. >> all right. the final agenda item is -- i'm correct, right? we're on the final one, right. commissioners comments and questions. i wanted to go first. i wanted to say happy birthday to senior inspector jordan roberts. i remember when i turned 21. come in my bar.

congratulations on another trip around the sun. >> this might most be my exciting announcement because it bears gifts. i mentioned at the last hearing that the police department did significant fund raising for cancer research, and i did promise to bring some swag. these are how we did our fund raising, sfpd patches -- and look at the camera here, t-shirts. the department did quite successfully selling to the department and the community and our members. it's something we're going to continue to do annually, so there should be enough for every commissioner and every staff member, but i'm going to let you all fight over who gets patches and who gets shirts. and happy holidays. >> and i just want to announce tomorrow we're having a toy drive at 111 minna, at 6:00,

happy hour. benefits community youth center, the toys. and any cash collected will go eithgo -- either go to the rose pak collection fund or community youth center. it's free. bring a toy, and it's our charity. >> what's the time again? >> around 6:00 to 10:00, 6:00 to 11:00. >> are they allowed to go till 11:00? >> they have a d.j., they have a permit. >> anybody else? yesterday, i had the privilege of attending a press conference with madam mayor breed, where she announced that she's directing city departments to focus on street conditions, and i just want to praise and thank

the mayor for focusing on this. i'm on the -- the ground level every day on the street, talking to small business owners, and it is often the number one, if not number two, but usually number one concern of small business corridors in san francisco, so i'm really excited it's getting some attention right now, and maybe we can nip it in the bud. is there any public comment on is this? i don't think so. public comment is closed, and we will adjourn the meeting at 6:42 p.m. >> thank you.

>> [inaudible] i'm a illustrator by day and a [inaudible] composition teacher. right now i'm practice by transscribing [inaudible] that is what i have been doing the past couple years, teaching myself. california college of the arts, illustration there has really great teachers. robert hunt,

vance story taught me a lot. what i'm working on is a portfolio [inaudible] riding a donkey unicorn in the process. >> my name is dawn richardson and musician, drummer and drum teacher. i guess i would say i started my professional path quh i started playing in bands and teaching drum lesson when i was in college. they were definitely not that many women that would do what is doing. in 198 8 i graduated from cal state los ang and studied mostly classical percussion and music education but at the same time i was in hollywood so played at night in rock bands so was doing two different things. >> the reason i'm [inaudible] the people. there is a extremely

vibrant art community especially arounds the red poppy art house [inaudible] as a artist in the past 2 or 3 years there is a event called the [inaudible] every 3 months a free art music festival that i usually play at and just met so many people. >> i was teaching a little bit and doing odd jobs like waitressing and going at night and playing in bands and meeting a lot of people. i chss in ban that had cool break jz get parts on tv shows or things like that. a friend of mine, we had mutual friends that got signed to a record deal in san francisco called 4 nonblaunds and i addition frd the bands and moved to the bay area. i think things are

different now than 30 years ago, the world evolved a lot. it could be a challenge but have to know how to negotiate everything and sometimeatize is [inaudible] it was great to get to a point where i was just treated like another one of the people, a musician not a female musician and that is always what [inaudible] >> you don't hear stuff on the radio [inaudible] i need to write music [inaudible] be more conscious in their decisions and somehow make that poetic so they will be convinced. i think i will do that. [singing in backgrounds] drawing and writing music since i was a really little kid and fortunate enough to have a good education in art and parentss who supported me. i

hope my life will continue to allow me to do both. >> for me now having all male, female girls, boys students it shows the world has changed a lot and people areope toon open to a lot more than they were in the past. you can get a deep satisfaction from responding a lot of year practicing in one thing and becoming really good at something. sometimes i think that it is better to get lost. you have to practice and become good at what you do, so if you have everything together then go out in the world and do what you do and then i think people weal accept that.

>> a lot a ton with the community and we say to ourselves, there is this one and this one. we all compartmentalize them, we have our own agenda. our agenda is to create great work. if you are interested in that, you are part of our community. >> hello and welcome to brava theater. >> we are trying to figure out a way to make a space where theater and presentation of live work is something that you think of the same way that you think of going to the movies. of course, it has been complex in terms of economics, as it is for everyone now. artistically, we have done over 35 projects in four seasons,

from producing dance, theater, presenting music, having a full- scale education program, and having more than 50,000 visitors in the building almost every year. a lot of our emerging artists to generate their first projects here, which is great. then we continue to try to support figuring out where those works can go. we have been blessed to have that work produced in new york, going on to the edinburgh festival, the warsaw theater festival. to me, those are great things when you can watch artists who think there is nowhere else that might be interested in you being a woman of color and telling your story and then getting excited about it. that is our biggest accomplishment. having artists have become better artists. what is. sheri coming back to brava, here

you have this establish, amazing writer who has won a clue -- slew of awards. now she gets to director and work. even though she is this amazing, established writer, the truth is, she is being nurtured as a director and is being given some space to direct. >> the play is described as ceremony and -- where ceremony and theater me. in the indigenous tradition, when you turn 52, it is like the completion of an important era. the importance of the ceremony is to say, you are 52. whenever you have been caring for the first 52 years, it is time to let it go. really, here, they have given me carte blanche to do this. i think it is nice for me, in the sense of coming back 25

years later and seeing personally my own evolution as an artist and thinker. the whole effort to put the chicano or indigenous woman's experience on center stage is, in itself, for euro-american theaters, a radical position. because of the state of theater, it is a hard roll to hold up in institution. it is a hard road. i am looking at where we are 25 years later in the bay area, looking at how hard it is for us to strive to keep our theater is going, etc. i like to think that i'm not struggling quite as hard, personally, but what i mean by that, the intention, the commitment. particularly, to produce works that would not be produced in other places, and also to really

nurture women of color artists. i think that is something that has not shifted for me in those 25 years, and it is good to see that brava remains committed to that kind of work. ♪ >> when people talk about the reflection of the community, we can only go from what we have on our staff. we have a south asian managing director, south african artistic director, latino community out rich person. aside from the staff, the other people, artists that we work with being a reflection of us, yes, the community is changing, but brava has always tried to be ahead of that trend. when i came in, i tried to make it about the work that shows the eclectic mission district,

>> hi. my name is carmen chiu, san francisco's elected assessor. when i meet with seniors in the community, they're thinking about the future. some want to down size or move to a new neighborhood that's closer to family, but they also worry that making such a change will increase their property taxes. that's why i want to share with you a property tax saving program called proposition 60. so how does this work? prop 60 was passed in 1986 to allow seniors who are 55 years and older to keep their prop 13 value, even when they move into a new home. under prop 13 law, property growth is limited to 2% growth

a year. but when ownership changes the law requires that we reassess the value to new market value. compared to your existing home, which was benefited from the -- which has benefited from the prop 13 growth limit on taxable value, the new limit on the replacement home would likely be higher. that's where prop 60 comes in. prop 60 recognizes that seniors on fixed income may not be able to afford higher taxes so it allows them to carryover their existing prop 13 value to their new home which means seniors can continue to pay their prop 13 tax values as if they had never moved. remember, the prop 60 is a one time tax benefit, and the property value must be equal to or below around your replacement home. if you plan to purchase your

new home before selling your existing home, please make sure that your new home is at the same price or cheaper than your existing home. this means that if your existing home is worth $1 million in market value, your new home must be $1 million or below. if you're looking to purchase and sell within a year, were you nur home must not be at a value that is worth more than 105% of your exist egging home. which means if you sell your old home for $1 million, and you buy a home within one year, your new home should not be worth more than $1.15 million. if you sell your existing home at $1 million and buy a replacement between year one and two, it should be no more

than $1.1 million. know that your ability to participate in this program expires after two years. you will not be able to receive prop 60 tax benefits if you cannot make the purchase within two years. so benefit from this tax savings program, you have to apply. just download the prop 60 form from our website and submit it to our office. for more, visit our website, sfassessor.org,
