twice. if you have not done so already, please hit star 3 to line up to speak. the system will prompt that you have raised your hand in confirmation. madam chair? >> thank you so much, madam clerk. and we have supervisor hillary ronen here with us today who is the sponsor of the legislation. thank you supervisor ronen, for introducing this to the land use committee, an and the floor is yours. >> thank you so much, president melgar. the legislation before you today is intended to close significant loopholes and gaps in our planning code requirements for affordable housing in mu market rate residential development. the planning code section 415 regulates the inclusionary housing program under which developers mitigate the impact of new market rate units and as has been shown in multiple settings including regularly updated next analysis and prepared for local requirements.

the construction of new market rate housing stock increases the consumption of goods and services. and many of the workers who provide the good and services are in low or lower wage jobs and therefore need affordable housing. as a city we address the need for affordable housing in several ways by investing public dollars to build and preserve affordable housing and by requiring that market rate developers pick several options under the community housing to mitigate the impact and paying the affordable housing fee, building units on site, creating new units off site or dedicating land for affordable housing. for on site below market rate units or bmrs, the assumption is they match the tenure of the building. rental bmrs in a rental building. home ownership bmr in a condo building. the back story on what prompted me to work with planning and mohct to draft the code amendments is earl yer this year i became acare of several buildings, two in my district,

where the developer wished to change from ownership to rental in order to maximize the current higher revenue potential of market rate rentals. one of the projects, a 2100 mission street, was approved with on site bmrs but is still pending final planning department sign off on the developer's request to fee out and another building. until the year the bmr units remained in limbo since completion in 2016. and require that the project fulfill the i inclusionary obligation with on site units. the project is approved with ownership affordable units in an all ownership building. after construction the developer had switched to renting the market rate units but was trying to retain the bmrs as ownership. the reality is having a small number of affordable condo ownership units in the market rate rental building isn't

feasible because banks won't finance the purchase. with nothing in the code to guide the situation t planning commission had no other option than to allow the developer to fee out in april of this year despite the project having been approved in a committee meeting with the promise of affordable units on site. the upshot is that the developer received sign on from a completed project in july 2017 and has been renting out the market rate units and the bmr units sat empty. for nearly four year this is project failed to meet the obligation. this is very real impact on people who are struggling to stay in san francisco, the city, and my district lost out on this housing. i introduced this legislation before summer recess and substituted the version you see before you that includes some additional details that we worked on over is summer with the change of elected and inclusionary options after project approvals and sets a

clear timeline and enforcement mechanism to ensure timely marketing and occupancy and with the cleanup and amendments. the amendment wills reinforce the housing obligation to amend the code to, one, require public hearing and planning commission approval for the subsequent change and to that are more onsite units and -- bhr units. number two, requires public hearing and planning commission approval in any change for rental and ownership to the principle project to ensure feasibility. and number four, requires

project sponsors to submit time line for construction to planning and mohcd and set deadlines for recording notice special restrictions and the initial marketing plans. and finally, prohibit if you would to the occupancy until they have approved the marketing plan. and carley is here from planning with the presentation joined by her colleagues of the mayor's office and housing community development who are here to answer any questions. i am so grateful for the partnership and the expert advice in drafting this legislation and of course, my incredible chief of staff who has worked for a very long time with this entire team of excellent people to create this legislation before us today. supervisor channing is an early

endorser and with the legislation and with that, if it is okay to turn it over to carley for a presentation, that would be great. >> thank you so much, supervisor ronen, for your hard work on this and for fixing something that needed to be fixed desperately. thank you for being here. please begin your presentation. >> thank you, supervisors. it looks like i don't have that capability to share my screen right now. >> we have you as presenter. >> the share button is grayed out. >> let me pop you back up.
