they are -- have been no programs since january 28th. no programs are listed on another planet's website. and i have these photos showing that the side marquees are empty. and you can see one of the marquees on the side by the 17th street side of the theatre is in disrepair. the blank the empty marquees at this theatre depressing to see. in addition to that, another planet set up metal barricades on the frontage area. and these visual messages from another planet say one thing.

than i are not committed to keeping this theatre functioning right now as the controversy works through city hall. they are not putting on live shoes. not showing move and hes not having any public communication with us. um -- when i was here 2 weeks ago i mentioned that there was no programming from december 24 until january 27th. that was a solid 5 weeks of no programming. however. if you look at the calendar for january 20 then. there was something helping at the castro every night. on january 19th starting with the festival. there were live music concerts with the gay men's chorus. we saw on january 2019 mixed use of the theatre.

every night in january, i am really concerned that another planet going to keep the theatre closed until they get their way. if they don't get their way to remove the seats and flatten the orchestra level. they will not give us anything at the theatre. and um this it is not a good way for any corporation to come in and -- take over the theatre. general public comment is closes. item 1 department announcements

rejoin. now item 5, fiscal year 23-25 propose the department budget and work program. this is for your review and recommendations. somewhat awkward do you to timing restraints you were not able to review the budget at the last hearing. planning adopted the budget and move today forward. however today's hearing we are still requesting you adopt a resolution with any recommendations you may have that will be included and forwarded to the board of supervisors and mayor's office. >> thank you. good afternoon, commissioners deb are landsis, planning staff. i'm here today to review the budget we are proposing to the mayor's office. so i will go over background and

go over trends. the ref mule and expend tours, work program and the calendar. over the last will we are back a little bit of where we were with the pandemic but not to the levels we were in prior years that is playing in our projections and assumptions for the year. in terms of revenue, we have been asked to reduce our general fund by half a million dollars. and that we not request any new general funds and then also we are projecting to reduce our fee revenue by 2 million dollars.

so, overnight next 2 years, the city is projecting a deficit of 728 million dollars. it it is learning are in the out year than the budget year. because we do 2 year budgeting, that is the prosecute jection we are working with. and -- the mayor's office requested we center on equity. here is a chart showing theville um i mentioned. you see we are very high, dropped down and came up just a bit but we are will still low are than we used to be we feel like we need to adjust our budget accordingly. there is a lot going on here. i hope you are able to read it. you can see that in fiscal 17/18 we were projecting not projecting, we received 40 million dollars in revenue. in fees. and if we looked to this current

year, it will be 30 million. we dropped about 10 million dollars in revenue the last several years. so. upon given the volume and revenue trends we are look to reduce our fees from current year 42 and a half down budget year 40 and a half. and then the out year we'll ajust when we come become a year from now. >> grants and special revenues expect to be the same more or less. but we have currently. and in the out year they are a lower number we don't know the funding opportunity we'll have. 2 years. out. expenditure recovery is the w this we do for other diameters within the city.

when we perform studies, they will reimburse. for example, so. that's what that number is b. and same thing in the out year that number will change. general fund support, you see well is a big drop because we got one time funding for a project in the tenderloin. because it was one time, it is no longer in our budget. and those numbers reflect the 500,000 reduction. okay. so as always, i think you are familiar with hearing me say this. we are the most expensive part of the department. saul rows and fringe benefits. that's the staff. and that's the bulk of our costs. we are going from about 40 down to about 38 in terms of reductions. that is to match the reductions

on the ref now side. so when we are doing is we are basically it it is a paper exercise. we have many vacant positions and we will cut about half of them. to be able to reduce our expenditure budget. the over head number is something the controller puts in. that number will change. we don't have control over temperature that will change april and may be may. nun personal services is everything from contracts to the leases on photocopier manslaughter. very thrilling stuff like that. materials and splice the same. we don't see need for increase or decrease there. and then projects is where we put things like grantses and impact fee funding and you can see that here in the current year, that is where that one time funding was budgeted that

number is going down -- upon departments of technology and the city attorney's office. um -- so when this was put together. we did not yet have a plan of which positions we would cut this . 246 number is going to go down to 226. and -- that is in process and in the middle. fighting with the budget system to getents reals correct as not as we speak but this week.

i think the one you are most interested in is the preservation work program. i think that ritchie can peek to that if you have questions later on. it is basically going to remain steady. and -- there are movement between the different areas of that work. over all -- no big changes there. so. our racial and social equity group put together some upon plans and tools and resources and -- this is part of the way this we are address rhythm mayor's office request center on equity. and so as you know you also participated in this with the resolution and planning commission did the same thing. and a couple years ago we

started with i budget equity tool. and there is also a city wide office of racial equity and he than i also have a tool. >> so. there are 3 main areas where we can focus on inclusion. the equity priority issue areas. equity geographies. equity populations. and -- the analysis done boy our racial and social equity group determined that we have about 63fte. who's work focuses on equity out come. >> so. were as a reminder, we start in

october. the budget cycle is 8 month cycle for those who work on it. really, when you start to see what is happening, we come in january or february to both of our commissions to review approximate get feedback on it. and by february 21st. we are required legalally to submit our budget to the mayor's office. they have it and thenom june first, the major's budget proposed budget is published thence then it goes to the board of supervisors. that is the over view. now we will open up for public

comment on the proposed budget work program. >> seeing no requests, public comment is closed and the merit is before you. commissioner foley? >> deborah, i want it say this is a lot of work exit appreciate it. also appreciate what the department is doing around racial and social equity, thank you very much. >> thank you. other meants from the commission? commissioner black? i concure it is a lot of work. we have seen a ton of work come through the past year and it is high quality work. congratulations to you and the staff. >> thank you. >> commissioner nageswaran. >> and in terms of racial and social equity i noticed that you know in the charters you had in the packet it is a contract for that topic increased quite a bit

for the budget. being part of the contracts for be racial and social equity so this is good to hear and see. >> i'm glad to seal our city wide survey is stable and contact statementers stable. 2 big dwlars have a lot to do with racial and social equity competence priority it is i'm glad for that thank you very much. and thank you for being our advocate to make sure we are going to continue to do good work. thank you, deborah. >> thank you very much. >> motion to approve. >> second. >> thank you. commissioners. on this motion to department to approve commissioner wright. >> yes >> commissioner black >> yes. >> commissioner foley. >> aye >> commissioner so. >> yes >> commissioner nothing nag. >> yes.

>> i want to thank you for taking the time out of your schedule when you are a small business owner you don't have a lot of staff to lone on to take this time out to come out and tell us about your business. i thank you. and you gone through very hard years covid years were hard and lost a lot of folks thank you for stick with it i know it was tough. 500 a mont for childcare is way less than appeal pay for doggie care. you are doing great stuff. tyedye it is part of my culture i think that you do is great. i'm going to send everybody from who visits me to check out your place and just thank you for all your amazing work and supporting your staff and. i wanted to thank lum

us on 7a and b for home sf planning code amendments. >> good afternoon, xhrjs. veronica, planning staff. there are 2 ordinances related home sf on your agenda item today. one was introduced by president peskin and the other by supervisor dorsey. so at this time i will go ahead and pause and invite president peskin to return to the speaker. thank you. >> thank you. president matsuda, members. aaron pes author of 7 a. with a very simple straightforward plug. which is, that while we are all

committed and this supervisor is committed to our imperative for more and denser housing in the city and county of san francisco, and i say thats we have all recently adopted an ambitious housing element of our general plan. this is the historicing preservation mission presoosd less than 1% of san francisco. which is very special. we have a hahnful of historic districts. relative handful of land americaed we have open space that is land marks and other things. but i think this we have to treat those handful of properties special. and as member who traveled around the world to cities from

beijing to you name it, the integrity of the district system paramount i'm here to ask you to support legislation and urge you your role here is add sunrise row to the board that i sit on, to reject past recommendation as it relates to noncontributeors. in these postage stamp historic districts noncontributors have an impact on the small historic districts. this is in the my view outside of the areas but is my view within these areas and to thatten, i hope that you would recommend to the board that the legislation item 7a proceed as is. i'm happy to talk about 7 b i'm a cosponsor of. and i know this my staff and supervisor dorsey staff will be present tomorrow at the planning

commission to address that very complicated matter that is about home sf and chapter 37 of the code with rent control. il leave that to them and the planning mission tomorrow. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> thank you. president peskin. so. today i will go head and start with general over view of home sf. if you are in the familiar with this program. home sf is the local density bonus program. project experience can provide higher rate of inclusionary housing up to 30% for the project. and this is higher than what is required at the property. in exchange, the home sf project will receive priority processing. they will receive density control meaning they are allowed

the max number of units that are fitting within the building involve. inside of density limited boy a number or the ratio. compared to the square footage of the parcel they would have the whatever the amount they fit in the building envelope based on set become, height, required rear yard, et cetera. home s footwork would allow up to 2 extra bonus stories. this will dem penned on rate of inclusionary provided. and the program provides a set of modifications that the project upon experiences can choose from. may be reduced roar yard or reduced exposure as 2 examples. so, the first ordinance on your agenda president peskin had shared earlier is to amend the home sf program to exclude

article felony historic districts from participating within the program. the department recommends modification to only exclude resources that are individually listed on the national, state or local registers. or contributors to article 10 historic district as there are properties that are within the article 10 history irk district bound easier but not themselves individually listed or contributors. president peskin is in the in support of the recommended modification here, we believe that the recommendation would still meet the intent of the proposed ordinance without excluding other properties. approximate at this moment i do want to pass out a revised resolution for you today. and there are 2 changes. to the draft resolution. the first is related to the

recommended modification i described. the draft resolution states that individually listed resource or contributors to historic districts condition be demolished. intent was to excloud the property fist participating in home sf keeping with intent of the ordinance as drafted. >> the second revision in this revised draft resolution is related to ceqa. the draft resolution in the packets referred to the 2022 housing element eir, however this ordinance in and of itself, is not a project under ceqa or not considered a project under ceqa and the findings have been correctd and revised draft resolution for you. the second ordinance was introduced by supervisor dorsey. it would amend the code allow

projects under home sf to subject new dwelling units to the rent increase limitations of the reason ordinance so this is known as rent control. so instead of providing the increase inclusionary up to 30%, the ordinance provides a new alternative path where projects provide the required inclusionary rate and then all of the other remaining new units subject to rent control. and in exchange for that alternative they would receive the density krell. they would receive a potential one or two bonus stories and the other prevetted concessions. so that ordinance does in the require your review but this item is in front of you today because of one of the staff recommended modifications. and that recommended modification is to eliminate the

shadow, wind and historic resources topics from the eligibility criteria of home sf. i want to emphasize all projects will still go through environmental review. this it is not by passing ceqa in any means. what the recommendation does is remove the environmental topics from the eligibility criteria. currently, projects have increases uncertainty and well is time waiting to see if there are significant paths to shadow, win or historic resource. under the staff's recommended modification, instead of waiting during the environmental analysis and while the studies are being conduct, they would know if they can mro seed with a project or not. under home sf.

this is a way that we are able to open up new cites under home sf projects will be submitted under home sf program. an likewised under ceqa. if there are significant impacts, there will be mitigation measures set torous or e eliminate the significant impacts all together. this is not an option under the code today. those projects would be ineligible for home sf this is had we are trying to resolve for today. >> additional low, this recommendation aligns with our 2022 housing leadership eir and the goals to reduce constraints on housing developments this is imelementation action 7.2.9 to help stroll line home sf and increase housing production. and speaking with supervisor

dorsey's office, i understand than i have not come to a conclusion whether they are in support of or against this staff recommended modification. after the packets were published you received 2 letters of support. of president peskin's ordinance opposing the staff recommended modification related to focusing ordinance to ecclouding the individual listed resources or contributors to historic districts. again, there are 2 separate ordinances in fronts of you today. this requires 2 separate actions and this is also schedule today appear at planning tomorrow this concludes the presentation and i'm available for questions. thank you. >> thank you. if there are no questions from

members of the commission, members of the public this is your opportunity to provide public comment. if you are here come forward. if you are call nothing press star 3. >> thank you very much. >> i have something i like to hand out i'm stan haze, from the telegraph hill dwellers you have an amendment 7 a. that would exclude article 10 historic district fist the hem sf program. we agree with supervisor pes pel. we support this ordinance as it was originally written by the supervisor. we don'ts however support staff's proposed modification limit home sf exconclusion to a few historic buildings. the home sf exconclusion should apply to the entire historic district. a historic district is in the just an isolated set of select

historic buildings, it includes the character of the entire district. this is clear in the purposes set forth in article 10. which calls for the preservation and protection of specific prushths or cites butt whole areas as well. providing for in in future generations examples of the physical surroundings which past generations are livid. >> we are correspond staff's proposal could severely dilute the affect of the ordinanceful risking historic district damage from home sf construction. what if you built a modern out of scale and out of character high rise home sf project next to a buildoth register? would it be less damaging to the surrounding district than building on the national register site next door?

and as you can tell from a figure, no audio. you have that atachd in the hand out as well. there are the affect cumulative low on the home sf program would be minimal, we believe. the 14, article 10 history irk districts you see in purple. and graphically you see that together you would not be surprised together they commyself less than i percent of land in san francisco. within this area, only a small number of parcels would be affected. this ordinance would have little or no significant affect on the home sf pool city wide. please, support this ordinance as originally written. please support the position this supervisor peskin articulated and police reject staff's

modification. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> hello i'm fran and i'm here to support supervisor peskin's proposal. without the planning commission changes. i own a piece of property on platomic street the purple dots there. and when i first bought the property, may be 2018, my next door neighbor harry nemo since passed away; handed mow a book he written when he was a proif he wassor at san francisco state university and written about the history of our block. every family that lived there

for the time the first blgsd were built. it was my first introduction to when is really cool about the history of san francisco and the historical districts. it got me involved in all of this. and -- i want to mention that yesterday when i was visiting my grandchildren who live in the building. on platomic street. there was a big fire. >> it would make no sense to mow to allow home sf to build manage that would be completely out of character with the historic district. it just makes no sense.

hope you approve supervisor pes's proposal and not the changes. it would make a huge difference otherwise it does not make sense. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> hello i'm greg, and i live in district 3. i work in an history irk district and live next to an history irk district. i'm here to support supervisor peskin's ordinance or resolution. and -- just to echo what the 2 folks said, there should not be an extra tall building next to a 40 foot building that is 110 years old.

does in the make sense. and these districts are important to the fabric of san francisco. so -- just you know say, well we need extra height we need extra units for a developer. it does in the make sense. so with that, i support supervisor peskin and say please reject what the planning people have said because it is they are here to build and it makes sense but it does in the make sense over all for the city especially in an your that are just one % of the city. public comment is closed. special the matters are before you. so, buzz they are 2 different piece of legislation, you can take them up in a variety of ways but i would suggest this

you take them up separate low. i agree. on motions. >> right. let's take your suggestion jonas and take them separate low if the commission is okay with na. any comments from the commission about the first agenda item >> i live in district 3 the major of my life in san francisco living on telegraph hill and have a heard time arguing with the speakers today and appreciate what you said and i look forward to approving the ordinance as president peskin drafted it. i will say that in general, 99.9% of time i'm in alignment with starch but sometimes we make mistakes. that's my comment. >> commissioner black. i have a couple questions.

if -- if a noncontributing building in article 10 district were to propose something urn home sf, it would be subject to our review is this in the correct? >> yes. this morning. it would be subject to planning code review upon against the many concessions. they would be subject to ceqa that is all in accomplice. would that be subject to h pc review? in the past we have reviewed new buildings in historic districting and they were to our review for design. >> they would apore in front of you as their own individual item. >> any would consideration such as height compatibility, design

compatibility, would that be subject to discussion special review? >> for the additional height? >> that will be part of the discussion. >> would not be just under this home sf program. >> correct you would have your chance to review the projects under home sf for the resources in question. >> thank you very much. >> oh , also i wanted to preface that i was i was contacted by member of the public and prior commissioner jonas [inaudible] on this item. i want to hear from my fellow commissioners but i want to thank supervisor peskin for always keeping historic preservation in the forefront. he is -- part of the reason

historic preservation exists to the degree it does in the city and hoe keep its moving forward. i want to hear from my other fellow commissioners on this one question. thank you. >> thank you. commissioner wright. >> yes, i have a few thought and a couple questions. as well. and i am tending to agree with the direction to reject the staff modifications and support board president peskin's revised resolution. but commissioner blk bringsum a good point expect it is something i was wondering, too about our review of projects that would modify or replace noncontributors in a district.

i think suppose there is a potential for a new building replace being i noncontributor to become more compatible with the district than -- than its the existing building is. um -- for one i suppose also and i'm thinking out loud the revised draft resolution that board president peskin proposed seals the deal in terms of like safe guarding the district. where as our review and comment on proposed projects that might replace noncontributors may be advisory and not like specifically prohibit or stop

that from happening. and i think that this revises draft resolution does do that my not allowing it at the start. i have a question for staff. and one question that i have is does the home sf program does it encourage demolition or discourage reuse of existing buildings there are other angles with reuse of existing buildings and materials. and life cycle longevity all of these things. is there a way that home sf could apply to existing buildings if there are not

additional stories or -- may be with modifications only? home sf does allow replace am but we also cannot have a project where there is an existing residential unit. that changes the palm what is eligible as well. one of the recommended modifications for the supervisor dorsey's ordinance will be taking to planning tomorrow is resunrising that to allow demolition of one residential unit. we see this opening up cites along the neighborhood/commercial district. but the original program was looking to protect that existing housing stock. look to prevent tenant

displacement. aural of that will go against your question of -- sustainable building and keeping the -- existing structure there. they are not able to use it. for the home sf program y. commissioner, to provide clarity. it is only for new construction. >> it is only for new construction. so you cannot use home sf for additions to existing structures. >> so home sf in a way discourages reuse of existingingly about wouldings and encourages demolition of existing building sns >> incentive for -- it is agnostic it is more about the project itself. so if the project meets one of the criteria, they are as to use it. >> okay. there is caveats that like if

there is residential unit there is than i cannot use home sf. in a certain zoning district than i condition use home sf. whether or not it it is >> rich? >> hi. harley, department staff. trying to get my vo up. home sf requires a demo new construction. home sf cannot be used as an addition. the program offers between zero and 2 durb stories boost zoned height limit of i think commissioner, to your question, there are projects this don't seek extra hite boost limit of the the max height they seek is 2 extra stories. so required on construction and experience has a choice of 3 different lected height limits

zero, within or 2 extra stories. >> thank you. thank you. i -- that helps. i think we should be trying to -- encourage reuse of existing buildings and there is benefit in may be thinking of ways to get density bonuses and density that would apply even if in the a per of this. but a separate resolution or are effort. thank you very much. >> commissioner nageswaran. >> so, you know what commissioner wright was speaking about i believe in the back of the peculiaret i read about

future possible amendments that was the xr things the existing buildinglies. or you know including unit in existing buildings what they are doing more research on which this. and so [inaudible] commissioner blk and wright, just to get it in my head as well. if [inaudible]. excloud from the historic district, homes can be built this this district? and so -- >> the projects would pursuit density permitted through the zoning district, which varies.

they would not be able to pursue the density decontrol the big factor for home sf. it is allowing much greater number of units at the property than what would otherwise be permitted. oftentimes it is i greater number than if the project were to pursue state density bonus program. >> the same height? >> even without the additional one or 2 story bump out a home sf project approximate within just regular height, that would be density decontrolled. that is the big difference of including or excluding the historic districts from the home sf program. and i want to add more details on the potential number of impacted percentels pistol. i believe that about 211

parcels. there is 210 impacted and really looking at the historic districts there were some districts that are excluded from home sf. the district is based on form base density. they already cannot participate in home sf. and so this was the factor we used to narrow down to 210 parcels. >> so, there are few are pearlses because we were not able to factor in parcels gets specific but pearlses north of post and east van ness. less than 12, 500 square feet and 25% developed. there are other factors that would decrease the number.

the question can i want to comment on from black and wright. advantage home circumstance f is more density and also the height of building. i want to go become to the question of our purvow on reviewing and saying in this case we can't have 2 story i bring want northeast water fronts project this came a few months ago. and one would think if you were on the east side of pacific avenue, you would have height to go from. huare in that water front, there is that hill side this guess down special you have the 2-3 story building and the double

height going up the hill. so that is more profound and so if we have the ability to say, no this , it is not work for this case, but if you are on pacific east sufficiented pacific or franklin sdproet there is, that's not i'm giving an example. there are the heights that are you know buildings of 8 or 9 stories high and first in that context. that is in the historic district i'm giving that as an example. are we given that atlouns review project and say no you cannot create 2 stories but you have the density bonus. >> so, that project would go under review to see feit is fitting with the neighborhood. and again it does get to the

project, context, the -- hill country mentioned, that would be a part of the discussion as well. state mandate on that one >> on that one, we have limited powerhouse depending which density bonus program that we use in terms of ability to impact housing and applicable criteria we use to evaluate things. >> so in the districts, that --

in that historic districts though even if we say home sf we are going to exclude that from the areas, the state program would allow to be things built there with double or multiple height? >> home sf is our version of a local density bonus program and an applicant is able to use the programs the state might offer. and so part of the residential for home sf to help create something that -- we could -- have more control over rather than the state. and offer upon different incentive in that manner. >> if i can add in to the planning commission having conversations around what can the city do to have a local program this people want to choose over the state program.

if people choose the state program we have little say in waiver and et cetera . this is important when we think about home sf and constraints are applied if there are constraints that make it not attractive for i developer. developers then electric to the state density boejs. and so i think we understand the concern busy impact on historic districts and i don't think we disagree with the preciousness of the districts and how am if that is a part of our februaryric in the 10,000 foot conversation. had is the aisle if somebody wants to develop do they have other options and promise we have zer over control over saying, no. that is an important component of the trade off we are talking about. >> that's where i wanted to get to, how the amendments that the planning department are suggest ing furthering what the home sf

you know -- the -- president peskin brought forward. how is that improving happen he is saying. and in your -- is the answer is your incent sunrising developers to use home sf over the state mandated upon program that could potential low alufor 2 store and hes we have no control. correct? >> yes. so part of it it is if they are eligible for one both multiple promise. compared to state density bonus and home sf, oftentimes sponsors will pursue home sf because of the difference in density capacitiment for state density

bonus in a small example if the zoning permits up to 10 units on the property, the boenlsd be up to i total of 15 units under state density bonus. then if the sponsor looks at home sf program they are able to review and say, i can actually lead a higher number of units at the same property under home sf instead. we hope to open up and keep as many cites openopen for home sf as football it is our local density bonus program. ir ask that my fellow commissioners think about that aspect of it. >> thank you. commissioner so. >> thank you for presentation and thank you for sharing your public comment. i irrelevant have one questions.

just with seeing the 210 parse pels that you identified. have you take a look at how many of them and just ralph ballpark percentage wise, are of the noncorrectoring factor? >> unfortunately work width data team, as far as we are able to get in filtering out of potentially impacted parcels and there are other factors that we are not able to review for this. one was just existence of residential units on the property. so -- this number is just an estimate. but there are -- other factors that may e eliminate the parcel witness we have a project in front of us weather the project ownership, site conditions we were not able to include in this first attempt at looking at the

parcels. >> okay in other words. do you know roughly in the historic district the percentage of noncontributing factor and versus land mark. half and half or 25/75. it irrelevant various on the district. some of districts are small as 4 parcels and all 4 contribute. others like dog patch or south end are larger. some of the older districts we have more contributing parcels.

it is case boy case. why thank you, commissioner black. >> couple more questions. back to your 10 units. let's say that is a parcel next to one of the speaker's houses or somewhere else in a history irk district. and under the state density bonus luthey could get 15 units. do they also get m building height urn the state density bonus lu. >> had is one of the concessions this they are able to request for the project. yes. >> okay. so under both circumstances well is increased density. higher density for the home sf. is there a higher likelihood of tall are buildings or -- versus the state density bonus in it

depends. home sf does ford a greater density at the property. so in that sense there might be highway are projects but hem sf you are able to have increased density. without having the additional height increase. yea. it really. >> can i add that -- for home sf projects each story of additional height corsponlds to on sight inclusionary rate n. example that veronica provide a 10 unit capacity. their height limit may be in the ballpark of 40 or 60 feet in height. if we look at something had is a project that does not want to increase the over all afford at. can be a constraint for projects smaller projects. they may seek additional height

it provide 20% on sight affordability instead of 30% required. not limit additional height or building massing shifts. in any way that you know state law. it is i having and broad. so. the same projects on this lot may provide 3-4 or 5 additional stories. we would have more limited discretion in being able to comment or shift that massing as we work with the home sf project. why thank you very much for that. clarification. one final question and -- i should have known this and research third degree prior. but, our review through the arc

or the full commission. on a noncontributing belling in a historic district, are we advisory or do we make a final decision that is appealable or that. >> depends on the situation. so for example, the hp c would have full authority on the exterior of the building and the furthermore and massing if there is another entitle am the planning commission authority could overrule if a number of vets are obtained by commission. like say they find a feature is more warrantied then and there another. >> we expressed some concern

about compatibility and recommended modifications made. and they were made by the applicant after arc. but if the applicant had not been willing to would we had the ability to say, no the building is too tall? depending on compliance with a lot of other state laws. like now -- compliance with the housing accountability act is paramount in review. depending on the nature of the project. it am guide the ability; so the state density law has kicked in. skwo

>> okay. thank you very much. thank you. >> commissioner wright. >> yes. i'm curious if for staff if00 auto210 parcels this we were talking about, are would also be like the same like are there -- under the state density bonus versus home sf the same number would be eligible under that program versus home sf? would it be is it the same? or nots we don't know? it has program terse related

with historic resources and their eligibility that would be a factor there. so. i think you could say safely assume that probably less but i don't know if we have didn't full analysis. why less what? that there might be less that might be eligible under the state density bonus. >> okay. >> only upon lites it is demolition of individual listed resources. individual building article 10 or 11ch and individual on the register or national tsengster. >> and then i'm sure that i would think that supervisor peskin has had discussions

but -- not here anymore about the when we are deliberating on and questioning when might give us more purhave you and more better review and ability to impact the project. and their impacts on districts in historic resource. but you know i would be curious to know -- if anyone knows or not but -- it it is something i think that is worth thinking about. because ultimate low the goal here is to have the least impact to -- historic districts and historic -- properties if possible. but i don't know i'm thinking here.

commissioner nageswaran. so, just to reiterate, the 2 programs are the state program and home sf and they both if we do not do if we don't allow home sf projects within historic districts, the state program we have no control over what how high they build. they can build the 2 stories higher than the history irk district itself. the purpose of doing the amendments to home sf to be allowed build in the district is so we can have sxroel incent vooiz vise developers to use home sf versus the state program. that's my understanding, is this correct? >> yes. we hope developers pursue home sf when possible. hope to keep as many parcels

eligible for home sf as possible and we believe that the recommended modification balances the 2 goals of keeping home sf a viable path for projects as well as respecting the ordinance as drafted. >> and then if and when we may be this is not a case but if we are designating new historic districts, how does this they get affected by this? approximate >> tell ash ply to them. >> correct. >> okay. >> so -- i'm leaning toward -- you know a mowing approving the ma'ams the planning department amendments to home sf to construct within historic district because it it is an incentive over the state program

which i don't have no control special if we can incentivize for our city, and continue to work to -- include compatible projects within the districts that bodes better for our city than photocopy we allow the state program that developers use to build 2 additional stories. and -- could be detrimental to the districts that's my motion. >> can i see. one question before. why thank you. could you -- clarify for me -- it developereen though home sf is visible can decide to use the state density is this correct? >> yes. >> they have the option. >> yes.

>> i'm the developer in the room dp i think there should be less rules and more density and higher buildings. i'm doing the 65 story building at second and folsom. they deserve the 65 story building. [inaudible]. telegraph hill dwellers are here asking us to save the fabric of their neighborhood. have you options the state bonus densitiure have all the different options we have the community out here trying to say, we have our neighborhood, we have a little building they are cool and interesting and side alys and we want to keep it is that way. my motion is approve president peskin's motion resolution with no changes.

commissioner wright. yea. thank you. as we sit here deliberating and i follow up to commissioner foley's comments, i'm wonder figure it makes sense to go with the more protective revised draft. supervisor peskin has presented. and then if bow start to see in practice, that more parcels are going with the state density program and -- skirting or not opt to not use the home sf program i think that we could get on top of an update to the resolution to try to counter that direction. but in my mind -- it seems like like, the draft resolution draft

updated resolution by board president peskin is the more protective -- as i understand it. and now -- >> thank you. commissioner so. . commissioner wright i think the resunrised resolution is in the provided by supervisor peskin by the staff. right? >> yes. that will be staff's modification under that same. okay. i might be missing. >> i think have you 2 motions right. we have dwon by commissioner nageswaran and one by commissioner foley.

>> commissioner: foley's to support the ordinance as written. and correct mow if i'm wrong. commissioner nageswaran is making a motion to support what the planning department is recommending. >> we have two motions. one by commissioner nageswaran. who is making the motion to support the resolution by planning and we have i motion by commissioner foley to support the ordinance as written. >> right i have not heard seconds >> i'm speaking now. [laughter] i want to clarify what commissioner wright was referring to. because it is getting confusing. i like to second commissioner foley's motion. >> okay?

so -- is there a second for commissioner nothing nag's motion? >> i would like to second commissioner nothing nag's motion. >> in so doing i'm -- i find the argument put forth by telegraph neighbors to be compelling. i can't help but think that staff has locked at this carefully. and have concluded that -- better furniture city to provide this additional opportunity for developers.

i'm torn on this. i'm sorry to say. 2 motion and 2 seconds commissioner nageswaran are you requesting? >> so. let's make no make if we exclude home sf from the historic districts it means developers are incent sunriseed use the state mandate which allows for 2 additional stories and we have no control over that. it is monday torrey. >> trek. we have no control over the state density if it complies with those requirements they can request. and they would approve it. >> thank you. commissioner wright. >> i'm just questioning again how easy it would be to keep our

thumbs on top of this if we start to see the state density program is being taken up more than the home sf and how easy that will be to quickly resunrise we could have better input. this is a procedural question. it is retory cal. i can comment. any changes or things happen is all legislation. so any board legislation has to go through the or changes that occur to an ordinance or or land use laws goes throughout legislative process. on average on the quickest path

is 4 and 6 months on average. so -- that's typical. i guess i understand it would have to go through that process. it is helpful to know how long that is. but -- i don't know. i'm just feeling like -- like -- supervisor peskin's office would be red to update the legislation right away if we see that his proposed legislation is having unintended affects. and consequence. >> you are referring to after this piece moves forward. why correct. why and future amendment. >> a future amendment. if peskin's resolution is adopt

said, fully and is in full swing. if we start to see that -- that -- the home sf program is in the utilized in certain place where the state density bonus program is used, and it impacts these properties in districts. i would think this supervisor peskin would be and others would be on temperature they said be red to make amendments to the legislation that was approved. so that we can try to counter the unintended consequences. that's i my thought. >> got temperature thank you y. commissioner black. >> sorry one more question.

the xr 2 stories under the state density bonus, is that boost height limit? the existing height limit if this the definition in this district. >> yes upon boost zoning district for height. >> assuming a 30 foot limit they could go 20 feet higher. under the state density bonus. >> yes. >> go higher than that. not limited to 2 stories. >> right. >> home sf limits 2 story. you know that developer likes within or 2 the state bonus says grant waivers from development standardses including evers the height limit to accommodate the project. the project means the extra density and incentives and concessions available. which are very undefined.

2 stories turn to more. we irrelevant no limit as long as the porns can demonstrate it it is accomodating the project allowed to under lu. thank you for clear answers i'm i think i can count votesil be supporting the staff recommendation. >> thank you. commissioner wright. >> last thing i guess one way to think about -- keeping, keeping control of this would be to think about specific height limit in thes districts. that would apply that are lower. but i think this prebl would have other unintended

we have the context listed here. our cultural context and our architect ral context this document fits in. you can see it highlight in the yellow and you see we have a new deal statement in the works closely relates to the document. >> okay. we can get in the document itself now. the statement discuss 3 modernistic styles preponder lawyer between 1925 and 1965. art deco. mod everyone and interinitial style. this document serves as an san francisco modern architecture and landscape historic context statement an over view of time

period and explanation for the rise of modernistic styles before delving in the history and the characteristic of the styles. the document out lines character defining features, significance approximate integrity thresholds for art deco and modern architecture and a brief over view of international style architecture explored in the statement. covers buildings of the styles in a variety of typologies. single family and multifamily residential. commercial, educational and institutional and recreational among otherings. >> and as you are all aware they can be found all across the city but the context statement highlights neighborhoods that have higher concentrations of them. and lastly the context statement includes not just architects but the stoys and seeks to highlight

builder, developers that use the styles across the city as well. >> okay. the document is split in 3 primary sections. there is an over vow of the modernistic your initial low and in san francisco. there are sections for styles that include character defining features. structures historic districts or lands marks that employ the styles. and foible low common graphic location and practitioners. and the left part of document includes a value framework for a property's eligibility under c or 3 under architecture. >> the project has 3 proirm goals. number one, to identify the essential features to protect.

number 2, to provide property owners, commercial tenant and planners information about historic designs, materials and finance used in the styles. and lastly, provide transparency and consistency of property evaporations than i were fund throughout the city createingly clear review criteria through the statement seek its remove barriers for all homeowners or property owners. and now i will go in the framework. for the sake of time today i will include 3 visual examples but there are other examples in your packet you can refer to. okay the first building is -- 5401 mission street. it it is a mixed use art deco building builts a role

toroffice. and the structure was come least in the 1936 with the period of significance for other deco set out in the framework. for art deco buildings significance is impacted by rare architectural massing and displace ornamentation this is art deco architecture in san francisco. defining features bold elements, stepped and stacked. vertical emphasis and windows. and so for this structure do you to unique and highwayly detailed massing this building would be a conditionaledidate for individually eligible under criteria c or 3. next building is 3600, 25th

street. this was baptist in 1946. the property fits in the period of significance 1935 to 60. and this displays character defining features. style such as a flat officer with coping. rounded corners. curve the surfaces and riings. and glass blocks. and so although this building retains integrity competence commons character defining features would be eligible as a district corrector t the detailing is standard. since stroll line modern buildings found cross san francisco examples this might retain character defining features of the style and retain integrity but in the u nobodying in foreman, massing, design or

details likely would not be considered significant without associations with a cultural group or people or events. the last build being we gallon over today is 2 within 29, 32nd avenue built in 1938 by the golden gate investment company the company was real estate and construction firm this was active from 1918 to late 30s. and like other developers like henry this firm incorporated modern design in residential transact housing around this time in the 1930's. example this property was once a more e will beerate modern residence now it only exhibitses lines and a chimney stack.

property under gone numerous alterations new window opening, new garage door and brick and removal of glass blocks. due to the loss of integrity and he lots of the character defining features the structure would be an example of something that would be ineligible under c or 3. this concludes my discussion of the frameworks but there are other examples in the packets. we also sent out the document for public review before the hearing to numerous architectural and cultural associations and did not receive any feedback. i wanted to mention that. thank you and i'm available for questions. >> thank you. >> thank you. in case someone is hiding, this
