>> secretary. could we have the translateors translate the request to silence mobile devices that would be appreciated. [instructions about silencing devices in cantonese. ] [sprukz in silencing mobile device in spanish] >> with that -- staff do we have a presentation. >> thank you. jonas. >> good afternoon, liz watty director of current planning i'm presenting as staff are out of the office. today i will present updates that we are for you in response to the feedback during the left hearing on the project on march 16 of 23.

as well as the recommendations for next steps. the actions before you today are necessary to undot illegal construction by removing 20 constructed without permit in 5 buildings by aproving de facto demolition of the interior most build pregnant modifying compliance from on site to payment of the in lieu fee >> on march 16th the department introduced a relocation plan with the goal providing certainty to the tenants around timing of construction and need to vacate. commission requested the attorney and representing tenants within the building work together to come terms that minimize disruption, provides center and burden placed on

tenants the attorney provided edits distributed in red line last week there is not alignment among all parties. in addition the commission asked the department to develop a document to answer questions around right in spanish and cantonese. department prepared this faq with the rent board and other city agencies translated it and included in your packet. the department add approval number 6 to comply with continuous as well as the ordinance around indoor air quality over seen by the department of public health. project sponsor will required to work with the d. public health during the review stage and construction to observe compliance with the ordinance. important to note for this issue

and the conscience of approval buffer today including the tenant plan the department will over see departments in a proactive manner unlike complaint based simples number 17 requires the sponsor to may a monitor fee and that can condition of approval 18 which requires the status update to be cent to you every 6 months until construction is completed we'll track the compliance throughout the stretch project. >> the staff report notes the city filed litigation against the property owner the settlement in this case was a prelitigation settlement the city did not file a lawsuit in this case. that was as requested by the city attorney. we have our city attorneys here if you have follow up questions on this matter. yoot department recommends the commission take action to approve the project with conditions and we are available for questions. thank you. project porns do sponsor do you have an update.

>> thank you president tan and commissioners. ryan patterson for the sponsor. just a brief update for today. i wanted note we are still work to bring this to a resolution quickly as possible. over the course of the last few years since we became involved. we submitted 22 plan sets and 23 at this point. trying to find something that will work for the commission needs. we brought a plan to legalize all u nits and ensure safety that was not accepted and so this point we are bring the current proposal, to bring us back to the prior authorization. since our last time together, the some of the tenants have filed a lawsuit against the owners and society ordinance are dealing with this now as well. my team has been working with

staff on the protection plan working with with them as well and trying to finds a plan that works, too. i think we are close. i think we got about sfrz won't can and red for the commission's action. but i want to note, there are a few things that are still a problem. submitted the edits ahead of your requested skechltd ahead of that. and appreciate staff's help working on this. the ownerers open to a construction phasing mrvenl however the draft buffer today has issues that render this version in the workable. the big of the of the issues is timing for construction. as you see in the plan, the construction time frameers 3 months for the first build and 6 months each for the buildings after that this . is not a feasible construction time frame. construction itself is virtually garnted to take longer.

we don't want to set up to fail before we started. another example of why this is a problem we are going to be offering the tenants relocation to other units available within the building when is they become available. for tenant hos decline that offer have to go to the legal process. the legal process in san francisco prohibits relocating families with children during the school year. we could have a delay of many months before it is possible to have buildings vacant and red for construction. imposing a 3 mont or 6 month time frame an issue there. just is in the feasible. our request was of let then and there the normal construction permit time frame normally allowed by building code. owner has incentive to get the

construction done quickly to lose the build beings and ensure they are safe and rent income. they want this done quick low but want to ensure it is possible to comply with the commission's directives. thank you very much for your time happy to answer questions. thank you that concludes sponsor's presentation. >> i will requesting to be translate in the cantonese and spanish again. we'll open up public comment. interpreters are present for cant moez and spanish if you need translation submit your testimony are short intervals. each speaker be allowed a minute. when you have 30 seconds you will hear a chime indicating your time is up this is the second time we are hear thanksgiving item. public ment from city hall first then the remote line for those

calling in call 415-655-0001, access code: 2595 347 6734 ##, press star 3 to enter the queue. for those in city hall lineup on the screen side of the room. speak clearly and slowly if you mean care to state your name for the record. i would like to once again. emphasize if you near need of translation services submit your testimony in short intervilles to allow interpreters to translate your testimoniful i ask tht instructions translated in cantonese and spanish.

[instructions in cantonese]

[instructions in spanish]

>> good afternoon i'm jerry drat ler i sent you a power point this out lines 5 open san bruno,. san bruno is a difficult project the concern tenants reside at the project former dbi director

asked to finalize 4 building permitos 4 buildings that were never inspected. the tenant relocation is the most challenging issue. tell increase the size of 10 market rate u nay and unaffordable. problem can be mitigated ensure the 2 rentals on lot 22 construct in the 1950 remain rent controlled and we low market housing unit for the approved project and not let the owner pay 998 thousand dollars. which is not in the deteriorate memo. the last 2 open items are technical. and require research. which the property ordinance require to provide for the lawsuit. thank you. >> >> on january 17, 2013

architects stood here and said the second floor was not be housing due to the fact it could in the meet code for egress, square footage contransplants or a second stairway the public expressed concern the commission discussed. i sent an e mail on april 20 of 2023. the san bruno portion should have received greater scrutiny when approved as an alteration in 201314 after the demo conciliations of crown terrace that fell down thes hill. demo calculations should have been adjusted. why did the ordinance think that could get away with this illegal project the whole thing located in an equity geography sud now. a question no one answerd and a mean project and no one

apologized and very upsetting. calcs. one remote caller >> alicia from housing rights committee lead councillor and working with the tenants who work in the san bruno. for months now. tenant dids not know when was going on until housing right committee and other departments were able to talk to the tenants. tenants are at risk for being displaced. tenantsment to hear fromorns with real solutions and take ownership of when they have

done. putting tenants at risk. all will be affected. any future legalized unit will increase in size. how do you expect tenants to pay double the rent than they are paying now this is ridiculous. the ordinance need to take ownership of what than i have done and how tenants have been affected. thank you. caller? >> thank you. good afternoon mark. available for questions i want to thank the public and planning department for concern for the tenant. to the owner's point that they may have difficult e victing the families for temporary

relocation. they can identify those u nits this is have children in them in order to staff the bodiesing so this any of those evictions happen at the end. there are ways to address their occurrence but -- i will defer to planning in terms of how best to proceed. because moving forward would allow additional information and figuring out signing. we did file a lawsuit because obviously for the reasons the owners failed to follow the proper protocols and the general ment this the 2 rental units could remain rent control side fantastic suggestion. >> that is your time. >> thank you. >> this is sue hester. i wish to associate myself

remarks made by jerry. one of the things that the planning commission do is you have a meeting next week a joint session with the building department. you need to bring this project up and talk about temperature commissioners. this was -- real travesty, because the owners can -- they conspired with the planning department of dbi to have no inspections and do illegal activity. the building department needs to be held to account and the planning department should be the vehicle. that's the appropriate vehicle. raise these questions at the planning commission joint session with dbi. the bic. next week. thank you, i really appreciate your paying a good attention to this. it cannot be available to developers to end up.

>> thank you ms. hest 30 is your time >> left call for public upon ment on this item. seeing no requests, commissioners, public comment is closed this merit is before you. >> thank you. i did want to see if he could raise his hand to ask a followum question. thank you for being here. you had an upon chance to look at the tenant relocation plan i saw your comments written comments. i want to be sure i think you have seen the latest red line draft was that yesterday? ms. watty? want to make sure if you have feedback on this draft as stand fist we torch dhoopt, any concerns in the current tenant plan? >> thank you. no occurrence. [inaudible] i stated in my e mill i think the issues will be addressed by the lawsuit. so -- i think there is only so much planning department can do with with respect to tenants and

the rest will hopefully deal with ordinance directly. no further within my e mail. jowl are working the majority of tenants that are residing in the building. without confidentiality can you tell us if this is true or most are with you or some declined to participate but had the opportunity to do so? sure t. is 40 tenants i understand to be the majority. there are some individuals who declined and others who have left the building previously under circumstances that i'm not aware of. it is the majority of the tenants in my understanding. >> okay. great. and just want to understand if there are further comments you have about the proposals before us. you were mentioning at the end about the rent controlled units are there other feed become for the proposal before the commission today? >> nothing further. >> great. thank you very much.

>> thank you. >> commissioners, i would say you know i think important to awful us the tenant relocation plan, which we have done work going around on i want to thank staff for their work. i want to thank staff for work on the information that we put out to the tenants. that was translated and so i hope that tenants have that in addition to working with with the people to make sure they are aware of rights and avenues they have both through the city and through the court system. and other avenues. thank you, staff for working on this and diligence in this. my ment in terms of tenant relocation planful miss watty all party vs not agreed. as far as i can tell, i'm supportive of when we have buffers. i think there are a couple additions i would want to make. i don't think are substannive. to make sure it is written out. number one the plan objectives.

may be not to the plan objectives may be the end part. letter e the last letter. any changes to this plan or other plans and approvals would be posted. i think we want to have under one objective to make sure well is a predictable schedule and knowledge if things go forward this schedule will have more details date and times. this can be posted and mailed to the tenants i would want that happen. the other item is this under be under each building that any request to relocate would be acceptance or rejection in writing to the tenants are saying yes i'm accepting a relike or no , i'm declining. it is in writing to the sponsor

and available to the city upon request. that we have that paper trail following movement of relocation. that said, i thought the plan was thorough and to address the attorneys comments. it would seem when we ask is 6 months of the preconstruction inspection this the building construction is completed. my understanding is there is lee way to work with the za, if there were a build nothing which there are tenants with children and it is the end of the school year. they can't vacate thatted be negotiated at this moment with the za and the za could grant additional time respective to that. it is saying 6 months here well is flexibility and i would prefer that opposed to building in broad flexibility. would be a case by case build in

flexibility and changing of the time line is that accurate. ? >> absolutely. those were brought up at the last hearing than i are in 6b and c are the twof best accomplices to point you to. the za authority to both you know 2 buildings become to entirely vacant move construction fast. we are not trying to delay t. ability to make that judgment and make changes based on tenant needs and the rent ordinance they give flexibility to make the calls. >> great >> another item we talked about before was having somewhere where all of this history and requirements are recorded. there will be a notify of restrictions reported against the property that is sufficient. to ensure if there were a sale of the property that information regarding all of the things that need to help in the history are per of temperature i know the

department of building inspection will record a notice of abatement against a property. not sure that is proper at this time given the procedures we are going through and a notice of special restrictions. joan if you have any opinion around the difference with reporting the nsr or the order of abatement ownership one is sufficient to make potential buyer aware there are things going on at the property they mineed to look into. >> thank you for that question deputy city attorney jensen. either will provide adequate legal notice as long as we have something recorded against title the commission's approval of the project. they go with the lands and future buyer obligated to comply. the name of the reported document is as important as the full cu and the conditions of approval get attached.

under the new resunrised language in the planning code you could require an order of abatement recorded against the title. if the department is planning on recording an nsr this may be a duplicative effort. >> i'm okay to duplicate but ip citied the nsr is sufficient to prevent a future issue with this project. there was interesting comment around rent control for the 2 buildings this from the 19nist's. interested to hear if there are comments over all i say it is disappoint to dealt with this project. i think the staff the attorneys the housing right's committee done a great job working and i am supportive of the city attorney's office. dealing with this for many years.

so -- while it may not be i deal for a number of circumstances what is before us represents progress that can move this building in compliance and in safety. and the last question is for our d. public health. one of the things that came up last week in why we asked the item conditioned was around need to remediation for soils and other items at the property during the construction to comply with the ordinance. if the department of public health i believe than i are on the line? if you could let us know about what was found at the site during the preconstruction investigation and just help us understands if there are risks to the folks residing there now due to the need for remediation and chemicals or if this has been satisfied and comfortable with the state of the soils and other contestimony nans.

a portion of the property was a gas station. there was contamination found in the subsurface. it was identified in soil. and included elevated concentrations of bearce diesel and motor oil and lead. at depths from 2 to 7 feet. the they include proposed activities to e eliminate this including excavation and disposal of the sxoil sampling.

we approved that letter in january of 2047. and part of our program, we requested a final report describing how they implemented their sfp sent after completion of the work. that was never sent to us. and so, we are waiting on that report. to be submitted so we can rerue and approve it or ask for more actions to be done to get them become in compliance. >> thank you. mr. casey >> to may be help us understand what will happen if we approve this. the prior approval upon original approval of this project before it was built required compliance ordinance and the program. so than i have not complied with this. do we have a time line or deadline i don't know if mr.

casey or mrs. watty we need to receive this information? because i want to make sure we are going to be in compliance and if there is noncompliance i want to make sure it is on the to which dph list to take action against for the another notify violation. >> i'm happy to start. the high level answer is part of the building permit process is routinely a routing station reviewing the permits. we'll number that process where start of creating a new site mitigation plan they come up with the game plan of how this will be resolved during this permit review phase. and that is being is articulate in the item 2 in the tenant phasing plan post entitlement pursuit. we added them and highlighted to call them out. we highlighted department of

public health. at this moment in time and held to the time lines. again, once the permit leaves planning hands tell get routes to the building department. will work through the order of the agencies and soon as the city agency reaches out and says. they need provide us with x, y and z. you must reply to all comments within 30 days that is the time frame to make sure they don't let this drag on forever. >> mr. casey you said there was diesel, motor oil, lead 2 to 7 feet and do excavation and confirm it happened f. this did not happen and the building was will built over this contammy natd soil do you have a sense of risks associate with the project as it stands today and has people there at this moment? >> it is difficult to say without look when they did and had was left in accomplice.

for similar case it depends on risk evaluation. common exposure path ways from soil include dermal contact. and injestion. you can imagine someone working in the soil and they don't wash hand and eat a sand wish and some of the soil particles with contamination were ingested. >> sounds like mooirm primary 've dirt during construction this project is most of the soil is covered at this point. almost entirety of the project site is covered? >> that is one exposure path way is construction workers. and anyone this does work needs to have a safety plan where they assess the risk and make sure they are mitigating them. gi think if it during a

construction time frame access to the soil now covered. i'm a bit more comfortable but i adopt to see what the d. public health can do to expedite a look what happened. i don't know, dwo you have knowledge of whether or not your your client did or did not perform the work as required. in the remediation plan example if so if you believe there is evidence of having done so. >> i have in the been able to garth evidence of that being done >> that's not say it does not existism don't have it. >> assume tell does not exist am i like for the city to figure it out this . is another concerning element of this project. and so i don't want to wait until it guess through get a sense behalf did or did not happen. so that we can know the 10 acts can know and we can move forward with what needs to happen. to get after the fact.

men not an issue the contammy nanlt fist mr. case competence others get the information to understand if there is an issue. miss with they are there suggestions in the motion today but called out around this program. >> sure the best ways is may be identify there will be review from public health and building department they are esq.s cluesive scopes of w they review. we are not waiting for the process we'll make sure dph can go right away to kick this off right away. we had a productive conversation last week to figure out how to move forward. we have confidence around next step in per myth action thanksgiving take place and have the system in place to ensure this we are moving forward 91 of this work happened we have not begin evidence we move forward adid not help that is the game plan we have articulated in

terms of the tenant plan and next steps. >> i hope the 6 mont report if not sooner we finds out things did or did not happen. the risk level for those live have gone there this has to be a high priority we have people living here and than i have scaff old to escape in case of a fire. il call on commissioner moore come commissioner imperial. joy like to follow up with a question to mr. casey. you work with responsibilities in sequence and participation implementing comupon pliance with cortez and mrs. do you not have any personal follow up in case you don't receive a letter? >> yes. >> i'm very surprised it is only by coincidence that -- it was discovered that this project is on the cortez list and the last

9 years -- this project has been sitting on unmitigated site with no notice to anybody. the same time not received the letter. and i'm not put thanksgiving on you. but i'm surprised by the disconnect between responsible city agencies of not following up. this project has not been properly attended by dpi with missing permit and follow up theorys typical and more than typical in small construction in our homes as we sit here when it come to these projects, it is completely somebody miss nothing action.

even today the attorney representing the applicant and everybody else does not have an answer. this i think puts us on to square one. one, i think i would like to raise the question that the city implements new policies what every agency is responsible for and cannot operate disconnectd and own life health and safety at stake. unknown sxurnld the radar.

amendment to the awning fee waiver program create in the 2014 part of mall business and building safety month. the small business owners benefit friday having plan and dbi and fire permit review fees waived replacing store front awning the signs on the awnings and installing pedestrian level lithe the ordinance would have 4 key impacks. cod fight fee waivers in the planning, build and fire codes. tell expand the program to include new awning installation. will clarify that fees waived for applications submitted in the among of may regardless when it is issued. and tell remove the burden on the department to verify that the applicants are mall businesses. subscents to the draft today we received feedback that we entend

to incorporate in amendments at the committee level. first we note that the upon planning department is recommending the waiver program expanded include all signs not just on awning. >> we support this change and secondly, the city attorney recommended that we add language regarding processing of refunds thering is a retroactivity mrauz meant to have an effective date of may first this year. happening language will, line the refund press with the current best practice. if there are questions i'm happy to answer but realize that veronica will give her full presentation. amendments are straightforward and than i go toward making an existing will program to benefit our small businesses better exclude appreciate the planning commission's support. thank you.

>>il border patrol emphasize the ma'am in this ordinance. again thshg is an existing program it start in the 2012 as a pilot and renude until 2014 which time it was made permanent. fee waiver programs lives within the fee schedule of the building code and uncodified section of the code this takes that same program and language and codifies it within the planning, build pregnant fire code it exists mou and electric to codify it. again i emphasize the program applies to permit fees related awning replace ams sign and awning and pedestrian street lighting for permit issued during may. mendz in the ordinance to apply to permits aplayed for in miand that makes it cloner, clearer and easy for applicants to in in for their fee waiver.

the ordinance expands the program to extend to -- also new awning currently does not listed in the ordinance but this was per of the original intent of the original pilot program. this will much this original legislative intent and left low want to highlight this this will be retroactive to may first of this year. we are already in small business and building safety month, this gives applicants the town to submit fee waiver or permit in order to be eligible for the fee waiver at this continues throughout legislative process. the department recommends the commission, prove the ordinance with the one modification to extend the program to all signs applied for during the among of may miss bell shared. supervisor engardio is amenable to the this modification and will incorporate this in the

committee level change. and i do i have correction inspect draft resolution. i earnest low cited a different supervisor that will be corrected for you in the final resolution and supervisor engardio will be listed correct low throughout the final resolution. i'm available for questions. thank you. >> open up public comment. members this is your opportunity to address the commission on this item. if you are in the chambers come forward. remote, press star 3. seeing no requests to speak public comment is closed this merit is before you. >> thank you for bring thanksgiving before us. and thank you ms. florez for your report this is grit we talk baptisting to support small business i'm happy to see this codified. i have a question about

publicity. how will folks know this may is this month of opportunity to apply for the permits? is there efforts. ien with oewd or small business portal or ways to make sure when may come around that folks are aware of this wonderful program? >> thank you. president tanner. the offer of small business is continuing to do so. they hosted a work hop in china town and we are hoping that they get the word out more and dot same in offices and then hopefully seat small businesses to take advantage of the fee waiver program. >> commissioners i'm supportive of the proposed legislation and the amendments proposes. seem reasonable and so i will call on commissioner braun special have a motion to support this. proposal. >> sure. i want to add my voice to support the intent of this as a

measure to support mall businesses. it is always a little peculiar it is a single among. i have a theme of wanting to support mall businesses year round and in i way reducing fees by a 12th could accomplish something. regardless i understand the intent of the legislation the program we have. i do have one question. one is -- with the inclusion of the signs i saw that will increase the subsidy by 6 and a half times because of the difference in cost between the awning fees waved verse you the sign does that imploy. does that imply a higher level review or the amount sthiens come through.

i did include a conservative estimate on number of signs data our department pulled on sign permits applied for during the month of may since 2014 and that is the basis. from there, i went to the disclimbers with that. for our estimate -- this is based on our records. and in our planning department data base department of dbi is the one this -- legal records they will have the better data on numbers and the construction costs. which dictates the amount of permit fees. that's one part of it. and also based on the past trends we can't use this to predict the future. i mentioned we are hoping that -- the city uses this

program widely so more pavement from there. the of estimate is conservative. baseos that number we were able to category we saw this has a nominal fee. immaterial and really thinking about the desire to support small businesses. we felt comfortable and wanted move forward with expansion. and if this answers your question. >>. s i was trying tonld some of the implications of signs in the ordinance. i am supportive upon given the spierz support for this by staff. >> i was going to add a difference in the sign in the neil schedule how much sign permits cost and increments. signs are a separate line item half the cost of an awning. the cheap end is half the cost

to do a sign than an awning. >> i have a question how it interacts with a business that wants to compliant with an noncompliant awning. upon it seems that needs to be on a different path time wise and getting them in compliance is there a situation a business could raft fee waivers simple low buzz they received a notify violation in april? the ordinance would really target the permits applied for during may if a party torch receive i notice of violation and respond in mayweather i day or week later they apply in may under this ordinance that would be eligible for the fee waiver

program. with respect to noncompliance it applies to code complying signs and awning. sign copy on awning. the project experience applicant would need to make sure this it is code complying. if the current awning does not meet the max depth or height. they would need to correct this to qualify for this program during may. and i will emphasize that for this ordinance in front of you today. why thank you. >> du want to ask. >> there is an operate ordinance dealing with nonconforming awning issue and a fee waiver for that that will come to you in a month and a half. >> it is an extensive program. legalized illegal awning and waves the fee as well. >> perfect. why that's what i wanted to

hear. >> il hear from commissioner diamond and then. >> yea >> go ahead. commissioner. why unless anyone had questions i say this is i good idea. codify it and get the word out and move to approve >> second. >> >> and that's with the amendments. >> and commission y. with the amendments. >> thank you. >> sorry. with the modification and amendments. >> on this motion to approve with modification and amendments commissioner braun >> aye >> commissioner indictment >> aye >> commissioner imperial. aye >> koppel. >> aye >> moore. >> aye >> president tanner >> aye. >> that passes. this will accomplice us on item 9a and b, for the commercial to

residential a departmentive reuse and downtown revilingization amendments and impact fees for adaptive reuse project planning code amendments. these are called together but if you chose can act separately. >> before i begin i have a disclosure to make. see -- the a lot of the packet refers to a study completed by pur. and uli. and this is an action supported by spur. i was a colleague at my strategic economics the director of for purand has been through spur advocate for the office to residential conversion.

there is no reason this would empicture my ability to be fir in this today. >> thank you. lilly, planning staff the item is the commercial to residential adaptive reuse downtown economic revitalization legislation. it was introduceod april 4 by the mayor and president peskin. of i'm join bide jacob, manager of economic recovery initiatives oewd will give a quick over view how it fits in the mayor's road map that was shared with you at the february 23rd hear and sonny with president peskin's office summarize the key point and i will walk you through the legislation and our proposed recommendation and amendments. thank you. >> good afternoon. jacob with economic workforce development. thank you, lilly.

this was introduced by the mayor long with president peskin on april fourth. i want to speak to the way it does fit in the major's road map to downtown san francisco's 40 we were here discussing back in february. feels like a long time ago. we discussed at that point. a couple among the 9 strategies included in the road map one beg your pardon facilitating new uses and flexibility in building this included 2 initiatives one was flexible zoning downtown the other housing conying version analysis this legislation advances both of those initiatives. bring them to you today as one ordinance. there is a lot going on in this ordinance i want to highlight one of the many thicks here regarding changes to the temporary use authorization. the code allows for retail pop ups the term is in the code for

up to 60 days that is just retail hamp this would do is create another temporary use a pop up activation which would apply to use beyond retail arts and entertainment. and institutional use and that would allow for pop ups to go on for a year that is important it provides a foundation for another program we launched that is per of the road match a couple weeks ago. that was about matching vacant store fronts downtown withent prenurse and new ventures who want to get the not in the door and san francisco will activate and livening the street scape and filling the pace that program will use a low-sick among lease term for the preponder ups. xangdz the use and allowing the

off the bat to go up to a year will be important for this program that will apply in downtown. that's one piece i want to highlight. i want to thank lilly at plan and everyone at planning who helped to develop this legislation and colleagues at dbi and the fire department who have been involved and proactive in developing the new rules around helping conversions. it has been several city agencies involved. i want to thank president peskin's office for partnership on this key legislation and invite sun tow speak and thank you all for your time and here for questions after the staff presentation. thank you. >> hello. good afternoon. commissioners. thank you for considering this legislation today. i want to start by just -- thanking and acknowledging the incredible brain trust mind me.

reminded me why i got in public service. reminded me of a time at the beginning of pandemic when we allmented come together and figure out how to get yes we had to move quick low and work stand up gentleman operations over night. you know to save live this is may not be as dramatic but it is critical to the downtown recovery -- the economic recovery for our city. i remmented acknowledge licompetence getting to work with jacob and oewd and lilly and the mayor's office. it just was a feel good moment andment to take that moment i know there hen a lot of gloom and doom these day this is is what happen when is we work

together. i want to say that on behalf president peskin we are excite body this opportunity to reimagine the downtown as a new neighborhood. by create thanksgiving incentive period to stip lit the thinkers and creative developers ready and able to be part of the solution and think beyond office and the downtown stake holder meetings that the president upon convening quoted the wade rose with the downtown recovery saying well is no silver bullet. but to all of the problems but men we can get silver buck shot out of this. exit think about that when i think about this legislation, certainly, be honest. we know we will not solve office vacancies or completely transform the downtown with this legislation. but because i think of the

tailored program come creating a this -- you know a stimulus package. we will be able to target the class c and b office buildings now that perhaps are owned by small property owners and family trust and small are llc's that don't have the sophistication to navigate a kraes crazy project development agreement and permit expediters they want machine to tell them you know when it is than i can do and how to make it easy. they are looking for partners. that's message i hope we can sends with this legislation this we are, too. we want to partner with you. we want you to come down and partner with our arts organizations to make a thriving neighborhood. i want to note we were intentional about calling out

allowable using like ilo you heard. before this commission before that program. the mauler family trust can be have a clear vision of okay i visualize this. this is when they money when they say this temperature is not open to the interpretation of an attorney or you know the za, it is clear. and -- you know this is you know a neighborhood that always housing was as of rights in the downtown. butt markets always favored office that is the reality. now we have this opportunity to build a neighborhood without displacing existing residents we are converting space in house and without gutting or rid of rent controlled housing. it it is basically surround or

anchors or streert district. they are rent controlled. we don't want to see them taken over by corporate rentals. butt office spashgs sure, great if you want act act sxors traveling talent come in there for the run of the he that's wornful we want to partner and make that a program to be utilized. >> weave have been trying to take a block by block approach upon with this legislation and the announcement of this in the press has brought people to us that are very eager. we have taken several on site walk throughs with potential property owner conversion candidates. i think manage this can help in the short term. upon that we should be giving ourselves hope and credit for. i know there has been a lot of the, no one will take this of we are looking for poster children this is the message we want to

sends upon today to have candidates that are willing to say we dipped our toe in the water it is fine, come in. il once again thank you all for collaboration and the mayors office and thank you for your consideration. >> i will walk throughout contents of legislation. the changes gnaw 3 actions all aimed sppth the downtown. expanding how longs diversify being commercial and stream lining the entitlement process. the first big category is crediting a now code section for commercial to residential, dappive reuse program. this will be defined a change of use from existing gross floor of nonresidential to residential use. to be eligible, a project have

to be located in a c zone east or fronting van ness and north of townsend street. could not seek approval under the state density bonus. could not expand an existing building envelope by more than 20% or add more than one vertical story. dbi create a bulletin this would layout standards for reuse project and take advantage of the program an application have to be filed before december 21 of 2028. >> projects which meet this criteria would be eligible to receive zoning modifications or waivers from planning code requirements including roar yard, open space. better street requirements, exposure. bike park. mivenlgs planning commission hear coming height exemptions to accommodate mechanical equipment, elevator or stairs, et cetera . >> there are 2 other provisions

process. includes planning commission hearing under code 309 now required for projects over 120 feet or seek exceptions. currently a hearing required for buildings over 75 feet or adding 50,000 square feet. size remain nonconforming if the owner or name changes the features in conversation districts and landmarks approved administratively. or the types of projects to be approved expanded and this is presented to the historic commission on the thenth and they were supportive of the recommendations. >> and in c 3, projects the option to meet open space requirements with inllow fee this is allow in the c3 district it would be extended all c-3 districts. jot department recommends the following modifications to this legislation.

first, we want to clarify formula retail use would be a permitted temrarely use in districts permit formula rethey'll is a claire toifkz make sure that it wanted to be a temporary use. where we propose to amend the definition of flexible work space. the retail sales and service use or general entertainment must be a conditionally permitted use on the grounds floor and recommend removing the provision the use occupy the first 25 poe and they use must front the street. flexible work definition does in the accomplice limitos which retail service would be permitted. and this could permit uses that are not permitted and intent to ensurety sales and service use are allowed part of the flexible

work space definition are permitted in that zoning district. the next couple recommendations related to the adammive reuse. the thirst is this we are prosecute posing to waist tdm requirements. this legislation cldzs a number of wifrs for requirements not applicable to an existing building and feel like this is a similar requirement. proposing to moist western upon boundary to include all parcels zones c3 or c2 east franklin. as drafted there are parcels excluded which was not the intent. specifying c 3 and moving line from vaness to frankin will ensure all intended percentels are included.

>> the third is propose to amend the exposure control for the mean and provide an alternative route to compliance. draft introduce expose exterior width not found in the planning code. . resunrise thanksgiving introduce a new term and simple fight control and add another route to compliance for more flexibility. >> and the last recommendation is amending the eligibility to allow all eligible adaptive projects to take vvenlth zoning modification and allow adigsz up to a third of the gross floor nchtd 20%. received letters of support and not heard ghn opposition. we recommend prove with modifications that i described and i will turn over to audrey present supervisor dorsey's

legislation these 2 pieces are relate exclude help to take questions and i'm joined by al swloin can answer questions as well. >> good afternoon before i give presentation on behalf of the department madison tammy is here to speak on the ordinance >> the legislation buffer today wave impact feeos commercial to residential adaptive use projects the same you heard about in mayor breed and president peskin's legislation. last year supervisor mar asked to conduct a report on commercial to residential conversions that report yielded recommendations for the board to consider. one delaying reducing or eliminating impact fees. advisors working on the report around office conversions and previewed findings and recommendations at a

presentation at lands use. this report suggested rusing impact feeos projects. those are 2 things we worked on reducing barriers some revital iegz the downtown. our office worked with planning on this legislation. and the department identified which fees would apply in conversions and decide to move forward to wave all fees except for inclusionary housing. office enengaged with developers, act the housing action coalition and east cut on this legislation and hope to have your support and i look forward to this moving forward and thank you to all the folks a part of this legislation. including planning staff, all of the -- folks we talked to and supervisor safai for a cosponsor. >> thank you i will be brief am

so ficould have the over head the power point. >>well, i don't thank you is the right. one moment. requirements contained in 4 of the planning code as madison

said except for affordable housing fee bunkham requirements similar to the previous ordinance you heard the impact waiver rabble to projects located within a baundary. and zoned commercial. and are also not adding more than 1 vertical story. we have 2 recommended modifications to the ordinance that will look familiar to you. as lilly stated we are trying to ensure that what recommendations med to one ordinance are made to the. ordinance you are hearing now and vice versa our hope is as this -- progresses throughout legislative press tell merge to one comprehensive program. as with the panama river ordinance we recommend modifying

the boundary to ensure the parcels are included. any we have a map on the first page and the second page. thank you. so this is the first page of the boundary and the southwest side we cut off parcels we did not money to. the next page show you what the boundary would be. >> thank you. our second modification is the eligibility criteria from 20% or one story,dition to allow additions up to a third of the gross floor area. it is recommended modification in the previous ordinance. and i wanted make sure we clarify the recommendation in your case reports for this states zoning modification bes we want to be clear for this ordinance typeset is covering development impact fees so we

recommend tht eligibility criteria modified to be up to a third expansion of gross floor area murder to be eligible for a development impact fee waiver. that is all we have for the second ordinance if you have questions we have a host of experts here to answer them. thank you. >> that conpresentations open up public comment. member this is is your opportunity to address on the 2 code amendments. if you are here come forward if you are call nothing press star 3. seeing no member of the public in the chambers coming forward go to remote callers. >> helo commissioner david wu. the 2 pieces of legislation were introduced a month ago and needs to be a public process for the

changes. significant changes and have not been fully digestd and understood. there needs to be time begin for communal input and feed become to be incorporated there are struggled downtown with affordable house thwack is the reason to learn lessons and understands how we got here and ensure a process through the racial and social equity moving forward and not short term fix. there are concerning piece of the ordinances first on readaptive use to housing. the exemptions. rear yard open space. dwelling unit mix, no requirement there is a huge issue of units going smaller in soma. and the piece not requiring a hear thanksgiving is a new endeavour and does the nohave a public press is a problem. and then on the removal of all impact fees except for

inclusionary housing the impact fees exist for a reason. and attempts to slash public benefits because the private market is not able to make enough to produce the housing should not be a burden carried by low income residence den and planning report say its does in the have a racial and social equity benefit. in regards to the commercial piece we have concerns around questions of how these impacts are going to be felt on the ground and how the changes are going to impact things. and in c3 districts, they know size limbation on retail getting rid of active commercial space requirements. on certain street frontages, permitting corporate rentals. and permitting formula retail chain between 6 and 12 on market

this is deregulating existing controls and needs to be more discussion with community members. the 2 piece of legislation we ask for more time to be begin for public press and not rushed through. and allow more time for discussion and not vote on the piece today. >> thank you. >> good afternoon david price on be housing action. i like to offer appreciation to mayor breed, president peskin, supervisors dorse and he safai and the city departments and staff involved in the 2 pieces of legislation. we than most of the items are common sense ways to incent sunrise housing conversion add to the house being stock and

revitalize our downtown. and i lost silver buck shot quote from president peskin we thbl is that is required really rebuild and reimagine mag our city in the aftermath of the pandemic. we have seen this collaborateeration going forward. we would like for the commercial to residential adaptive reuse program to explore a longer time line we are concerned 5 years not enough for the project to take full advantage of this program. thank you very much and that's it. >> good afternoon. this is ken ricks representing union square alines you received a letter expressing support for this package. a former star of planning and [inaudible] i'm in a position to

highlight how equally thoughtful thankful package was put together wore grateful to planning staff the mayor and president peskin for leadershipom this. you know, union square must reinvent itself not only the center of retail and tourism but also forward as a mixed use for our urban neighborhoods. the increased flexibility offer in the the change system an ingreed yenlt in the journey we are on. thanks for your attention and support and hope you will support this today. thank you. >> hello this is vivian. i'm a member of the community in san francisco i want to thank you all for presenting this legislation today and i want to -- say that i support it and

i'm in enthusiastic for the possibilities of what could result from this. and i believe that -- it critical to do this so key we achave an our downtown space i thank you and support it. thank you very much. this is sue hester i passport had david requested. there is a lot of people who live in this area and that live and most low low income people. there needs to be consideration with amendments am at the latch upon minute. >> i would ask you and -- so the planning are limited staff to

constructive more than the chamber of commerce and more sense. talk to our the work with low income people of thank you very much. >> left call for public comment. seeing no requests to speak. public comment is closed this is before you. >> great. want to thank were mayor breed, president peskin and supervisor dorse and he safai and the staff here. i love what you said about everyone pulling together and coming up with the great ideas. i think if this commission we are thinking it is coy is falling to downtown i then and there is on the minds of many supervisors and san franciscans thank you for your work. i have a few questions. one is in reference to the items

in the spur report. and the research around another obstake the buildings seismic. if you can poke to the conversions go if we have a sense had that time path way can look like in terms of need to do that. obviously we want the buildings safe and fortifiy federal they are residential against seismic activity i found we have insight in conversations we had with folks and when that path looks like or if that is an obstacle. that one is we are not and probably with good reason. >> thank you upon president tanner. i start with that. you know lilly covered a lot in short time. on the building code and fire code changes to adacht reuse the code changes are not before you. it is initiating a process to come up with adaptive reuse manual or bulletin dbi and fire

will create and go through a public process through the building inspection. that process is in the early stages and tell get going to dbi commission 2 weeks from now and after that staff will be table to get going and have more out reach and conversations and put out a draft. seismic is on the list. there are different ways that plays out. they will look at which changes from what occupancy to what would require a retrofit in the state code and local code and determine where than i need to be synced up. one analogue to this called out in the language in the ordinance is the d boishgs i will implement historic building code for qualified historic properties this will not work for everything. that code has slight low different seismic standards for

building this is recognizes you are working with an existing shell. solving for a different equation. we'll look at it in our local conscience. that is yet to be determined that process will play out along the same time under this legislation will be moving through the burden and. >> great >> i'm glad to hear we are working on it and taking a look with the agencies and bodies the other question is i guess regarding height and additional growth of buildings 20% a recommendation from staff to allow 33% one store and he a requirement if the height of the building is over 120 feet it needs a hearing, where are we getting number in terms of how much to allow expansion. why one store sethat the compromise? do we have information that is what buildings will need?

>> how did we get on some of the recommendations for increases. now the threshold is 1 story or 33% expansion. and we learned a bit from the

analysis this spur did around project feasibility and feel like giving more capacity could be helpful to the project. if you have an existing building you convert it and add a fwit this helps with feasibility that seems great. we don't have a perfect number. have not seen a lot of project this is is something we would like to test and see how it plays out and come become and modify it later. >> as far as 120 feet to hearing versus less that not needing can you explain this >> weep want to increase just for 309. all downtown projects ammed to increase the threshold and see if this helped with over all stream lining >> great. >> excellent. there is a lot here apologies for mischaracterizing. i would say great to hear that there is support i think the recommendations from staff make sense to have the 3% and see where it guess.

i want to acknowledge the request to be longer than 2028. we can cross that bridge later. we are seeing traction. hopeful low we have the political well to keep the promise going and time to make amendment and bring changes as the program sun sets. i would ask thatlet supervisors office and president can reach out to other groups we heard on the phone today this want more understands and dialogue what is proposed. we want to move quickly but all can work to explain that is help and answer questions and take de feoed back to account as this moves forward. this body and become to the board for consideration. with that i would like it call on commissioner diamond. >> thank you. these are 2 excellent and time low piece of legislation and i'm supportive and q.ed to see them having been drafted quickly.

by a great team of peoplism only have one question and relates to the 5 year sunset clause. continuing the silver buck shot, why are you have off after 5 years that is the thought process behind that? >> thanks for that commissioner diamond. you know i think like commissioner tanner said, this is manage this can always be revisited but at this point in time and i know that president peskin had a specific conversation with the mir about this who agreed that we are trying to create an incentive period. there are trines leaving the stipulation and the significant until we are trying to sends to property owners you want to be part of the solution, get on the train because it is leaving the same thing you will see when we bring before you legislation. that addresses thought busy our inclusionary housing. we don't want to send the

message we are just you know this is going on forever. and people should feel free to take time this is a really we are stimulating the america and revisit when we see projects coming inform i can make a suggestion. i understand this has been negotiated between the supervisor and the mayor and you, arrived at the 5 year sunset. my concern is that it is entirely possible that begin current economic s the cost of construction and labor and rents that 5 years minot be enough time or that you could get a flood of applications on december 31 of 28 to preserve the possibility of going forward. but adopt incentivize people it get with the program because create sense of urgency that he makes tremendous sense i'm not

proposing we change the sunset clause. but i think the trouble with the sunset clause that means it automatically term nit fist we don't do anything there is no obligation to study. and 91 of you was may be here in 5 years and so may be an entirely new grouch people that may not think about this issue. in 5 years the world could be different as well, too. rather than try to impos process on the board of supervisors i wonder photocopy we could impose process on ourselves. championship is let mow read you the following sentence and see if there is traction among the commissioners. i really agree with the notion that we should assess where we are. and see whether or not this bodiments to recommend to the board that this ordinance should be continued or modified.

be it would be a recommendation. and the board can do what it wanted i think impose on ourselves the discipline offan likewise whatting's gone on. i am at the notion had we adopt legislation we hope will result in change we had make sure we analyzing the results of that to see if it created the change we hoped it would. and if it did, grit. we want to continue it if it didn't whether or not modifications might be appropriate. let mow propose the following suddenlies of 210 publicity 5f says under applications, the concern language application to steb a residential use pursuant to 210.5 filed on or before december 31 of 2028. fine. i'm propotion we add the following sentence. or recommend that the board add

the following sentence to the legislation. following january first 2027. a year before the sunset clause, the planning commission shall hold a hear to evaluate the commercial to residential adaptive reuse recommend and make a recommendation to the board on the program including whether to extend the application period beyond develop therein of 2028. all this does is impose the discipline on the commission to study am the affects of the program and see whether or not we as a commission want to recommend to the board that instead of it sunsetting this they been continuing temperature and i'm curious i will start with -- you, sonny. how do you feel about a suggestion?

>> sure i love it had the commission under takes analysis. >> and i are snrn a unique position with planning staff to go over the applications. on our end. we are really also --ment to put out there that we like to uplift or amplify the folks that do get in the door. and you know -- get them some kudos and some that a boy can girl. hey, this is the face of the solution downtown. and so, i hope you will have those applications to sort of review and that they have feedback that can be helpful if you mean know for future. >> great. thank you. jacob? >> thank you, commissioner diamond for highlight thanksgiving that sounding like

a prounl suggestion. sonny laid out the rational. if we all forget until december 30 of 28 we could have a chilling affect and we know how long the develop the press can take. the conditions are all over the place. having a firm check in point makes sense. we defer to you all when the department how that should be instructed. thank you for this it makes good sense to me >> and lifrethe planning department perspective this imposes work on the department how do you feel with it in i'm not the one doing the work so. [laughter]. i think we don't have examples for the projects it gives us the opportunity to look at the waivers we put forward if we need to identify additional or modify all of that gives an opportunity to revisit the package

>> thank you. >> i did talk to director beg your pardon it last night to make sure this was not a nonstart in terms of w for the discipline thought it made sense for himmism put this out for you you know i'm supportive of the legislation. i think that thursday be i'd like to see this as additional recommendation that we add in we sent to the board. >> thank you. i will say i support that. i continuing is thoughtful way to check in and hope things will be different in 5 years but have a post there to check in. >> commissioner braun. >> one things struck mow about the legislation of the 5 year time line. and i have been think burglar it as limp and commissioner diamond i think you found a good way on making sure we take another look at t. we see how it is performs

and have a longer time period as part of that process to get that feedback and input based on examples what's happened with this legislation. i appreciate that -- i'm -- spicht legislation and staff's recommendation this is is a really great solution to a problem now. you know part of the reason i like to see this potential low if it works out to ton for a longer time period. is i think about the places the downtown this is have already addressed this in a very different cest circumstances i think about downtown los angeles and the 1999, adaptive reuse ordinance lead to their downtown having once an empty at night place a lot of street activity and business activity. it took them other i hope it means tell move quickly this did

unfoal over awhile. i live in regard in 2006 and 8 and it was getting under way. places like lower manhattan, happened faster time frame but they take time. regardless, we have seen the positive benefits in places and other communities of the reuse i'm happy to see this legislation here. i have another question about recommendation 3 by staff regarding the tdm fee. waiving that fee. i understand intent of lining up with waivers of impact fees but -- the if a dwerpmentes to build parking as part of a project i don't know they're excacrate have aing space.

i'm curious that seems like a substannive change to the build and wonder how that may in interact with the tdm fee. waiting the requirements. this requirement adds more process and more cost to the project so in the in10ing of making the projects simple as possible that is the intent. and all of the existing p rules would apply. if a commercial building converting rential if you are exceeding allowable parking you go through a cu process and we are not waiving that of as a change. so the parking rules existing today will exist for these buildings but waiving the tdm requirement and the process around that. i high light the waivers part of adaptive reuse package not

requiring bike park happening. and that is a part of our tdm plans. there are other over laps with the tdm recommendation and waivers built in the principle >> thank you i want to make sure in doing this, we are not also make our downtown more hostile to pedestrians and cyclists. and then i have an observation that the impact fee waivers that is an important step for getting this development activity. but recognize it is a real subsidy by the staechl a speaker mentioned, those fees are not just made up out of thin air they are based on the cost to provide service to new development. i understand that in a way that is addressed by fact they are

existing buildings there are differences. and so i thank you it is you know we should recognize the city is doing something here to support project in a real way that has this real financial b. so. >> thank you. commissioner imperial. >> thank you and thank you commissioner braun in terms of the mentioning about the develop impact, those were my questions is how will this i guess how this will affect in terms of other zonings we have in terms of 7 roll soma. the hub. and and also in the rincon hill. we had the presentations in terms of impact fees that there are projects that are waiting for the money to come in.

how will those, i guess how are they going to be affected. looks like not going to affect the whole area. you know. but can someone describe how will this going to affect those areas? cents roll soma is separate none of those are affected by had legislation. market/octavia has c 3 parcels the fees would be waved. look at the basic impact fees not area plan fees childcare,most those projects paid those fees at the time of that project and so the additional niece they would pay is small. it is not i think a benefit to the project but not a huge lots to the city with when they already paid >> good ton. i hope thereupon is a part of how much is going to be were

affected. my question in terms of the public process. has the this presented to the eastern neighborhood or did soma in terms of impact fees. i know it is -- protects a small portion but have there been presentation to the cac's? no. i think again part of our report become we can talk about the projects coming forward and where than i are located. there is no impact to central soma and small potential low to mark/octavia. i suggest to do presentation if it does not cover the whole area. . can make are not going to be surprised boy this. so -- in first legislation and fully supportive and the recommendation by planning staff

as well. again. i think it is also important to dot public process in terms of connecting with other members. in terms of the legislation not just the union square alliance but others committees. i also suggest that but i'm supportive of the first -- and in terms of the 90 i think the board of supervisors can make more discussions. i'm confident that it will not affect us much. >> thank you >> commissioner moore >> i'm delighted see us creatively moving forward. the question of adaptive reuse asked for many years, there are buildings that are aging to the extent that one is looking for the next gent raying of presence in downtown that said i was

fortunate enough to listen to the presentation upon to land use a few weeks ago and i would recommend this commission would be able to find a way to have that presentation. >> that presentation focused on the adaption of architecture prototypes suitable for reuse. and they were a few interesting finalings i don't want to steel the thunder to tell you when they are. but i would recommend the department arranges for this group on hear the presentation. >> general low speaking, you know strong low expand the boundaries for what spur and they are focused oi would be interested to see at least the types of buildings you are envisioning for adaptive reuse.

and i would ask this some additional presentation on why you want to increase the potential enlearningment of any building boy 30% which is a bit. everything depends on where manage is. not just having adaptive reuse from the building. why we are doing it and kinds of aggressively move to add residential i do need to remind us on the impact of other and 30% enlbgtment is a bit. i like to see an illustration of what you have in mind to what height it implies and the heights that are are considered. since you are stream lining the process i'm comfortable with. i do need to see a guidance of how you envision it. because there will be no and

older building there will be nothing alcohol not be impicturing the start to change ail building by 30%. i want to leave this because i'm not envisioning a site. but i thank you we need to be mindful. that is all. i'm in support and i preapprove this move to approve with modifications. >> second. >> that include commissioner diamond's >> yes. i think she had legislative change she is making a recommendation this should be stated. >> staff recommendations and commissioner diamond's. >> correct >> could i add one thing. so commissioner moore brought prup another issue and i appreciate her the issue of popo. now the legislation does in the peek to popo's we would like to develop a recommendation around how we treat popo's before the

board and not come back for that discussion. >> existing or existing. >> yea >> on whiches buildings remember approved with public/private open space for contributing to the ambience of downtown i individual to take another attitude to conversion, adaptive reuse or reinterpretation. that is a question i asked and had another question with parking in many building and office buildings, p category s a public amenity for paid park when you convert a build tologist residential. it is public parking appropriate? or does parking turn on be partial low supporting residential in adepartmenttation to amenity space. or what. i'm leaving it as an open ended question. i look forward to revisiting them have you need can certainly

being be complicated. . commissioner braun we had a motion i want to settle it a motion to approve with staff recommendation and commissioner diamond i seconded this make sure you got that. i med the motion. >> second. great >> commissioner braun >> a follow up question. am so the idea that there would be a staff recommendation regarding the popo incorporated with this when we recommend today. >> yes. like to add that. recommendation given the popo is a requirement if you are converting commercial to residential and retaining some office this popo retained if converting entirely to residential thena does in the need to be retained. this is a recommendation incorporated as itself goes become to the board. why don't we i think wants to comment on that? think of lynch to lilly, is this

the open space in lieu fees that you referenced relative to c3r and o, supervisor peskin had a piece of legislation several years ago that -- basically created the union square public realm you know funds that -- takes those in lieu de feos for conversions specific low and puts them toward public realm improvements. i'm think thanksgiving we may want to check with -- like the city attorney's office about the need in the future to create separate funds given there are other districts where folks milike to recapture those in lieu fees like commissioner imperial was saying energy the south of market where open space is you know a paramount.

i don't know. >> separate funds. great. >> already got it done already. >> sounds like. i would invite commissioner fist you have a thought on the proposal the oral recommendation on the popo and getting that now. you miwant to commentom that as it goes back and doing deliberations. commissioner mordid you have a comment on this. >> i was the person who raise today. i see your light o. no perform all i'm saying i did not want to bring it up i throughout ball they caught it and i'm in strong support to very much exam they be case by case not just a simple one type answer. i think we are making recommendations to add, study and thoughts to both topics. >> great. >> commissioner braun? >> well put that way i'm okay with the recommendation the idea we have an opportunity to view

what we seat project and what is happening with the po po and an option to make different decision. i'm concerned about the po po are an amazing resource and a resource whether or not an area is residential or commercial. i have a lost po po's. and so. they are partially maintained a responsibility of the building adjoining temperature when you turn it to residential few residential buildings can take the responsibility for a public space that's almost impossible. we absolutely. >> a transfer i think in ownership responsibility on this rec and p says we'll make all of those upon upon part of the learninger public realm. >> absolutely. >> commissioner diamond. >> yea. >> i'm confused about the po po's. so -- the requirement novelty

around for decades. the class c office building? >> the predowntown plans buildings often have bonuses and they are a suite of public realm than i can choose off a metropolitanue and would give them sar before we had a tdr program. so in terms of implementation we ruled the project in our po po's map and compliance program than i were not technically permitted to the current day po po's program temperature it is a pre/post downtown plan distinction, there are a lot of predowntown plan building this have public open space of sorts. that i think we all experience as the spaces.

there are more in the class c then and there we anticipate. i want to aline myself with commissioner braun's occurrence they are incredible space downtown and more residents zoe downtown the more we need the open space. i think if the recommendation is to study on a bodiesing by building base how we maintain expect who pace i'm good with that iffed recommendation to e eliminate them i'm very uncomfortable. i want to clarify what she said is this if you are retaining in the office using after retain your po po and if you are a residential belling you don't have access to that po po. and i would allow myself making an we want to put up a sign to residential. >> >> i try to imagine that myself

in my building and a courtyard allowed anybody to enter. the idea that individual in the public access to your buildings and and agree. it is fine with me if they are private. i thought we were saying we were e eliminating the requirement for the open space. and, >> the commission experimented with po po's throughout the history this director watty mentioned if the per of the

guess if there is a po po and open space the building allow open space they may not have it in configuration of the current po po today the building have open space or i don't know. it is hard to guess we don't know what the buildings are and there is variation. i don't know if you can give insight what the idea is behind this. >> we are wait waves open space requirement. they can wave nain all residential building. if they wanted to. if an amenity already built that would be a disservice to the belling. there are many ways it feels hard to give a strict crip tear naacpia we are open to re.

the exec of the one we had a few weeks ago almost all have open space it is significant and meets the code required open space i would be surprised if a conversion thismented to e eliminate open pace from the amenities not that it would not help but we do have a lot that have it. >> commissioner moore? >> commissioner braunful i'm comfortable with adding pot po's language. and in the spirit seeing how this guess. which buildings convertd and which have po po's and i agree not just the question of there is diversity in the buildings convertd and diversity in the po po's that exist in the first place. a pass through out doors or a plaza versus an officer. there are many configurations of

the po po's. see what happens. >> there will be a po po project in a few weeks there will be town to drill in specifics. before then of the fiscal year >> commissioner moore. you think the discussion about po po is a recommendation to the supervisors to look at it we are not creating legislation i think staff needs to was study this more including language that described the legislation. i believe we have a motion. is this in the current motion with staff's modifications or include as an amendment? included. >> amendment and i have it on the slide that is helpful. can we have the over head

>> and so commissioner morthat your -- motion included the po po language. good. on that motion, to approve with staff modifications including the -- late modification regarding po po's and commissioner diamond's additional sentence to 10.5f, commissioner braun. >> aye yoochl commissioner diamond >> aye >> commissioner imperial. aye >> commissioner koppel >> aye >> commissioner moore >> aye >> president tanner >> aye >> that motion passes 6-zero >> thank you all. >> items 10a i thought that was called together for both.

>> we need make a motion on the fee waiver operate low. i thought it was called together. fine. i assumed it was called together our intention we voted on both piece that's how i understand temperature very good. commissioners 10a, b, c, for the park merced phase one block 21 circumstance project design over view phase one c block 4 over view and phase 1c block 3 design over view. first 2 items are informingal presentations and the third is requesting modification you need to approve the design review with the

modification requested. >> good upon afternoon. we are ryan and gabriel of department staff. the items before you are one of men components to redeveloping 15280 are site in the southwest area of the city. adopt in the 2011 the park merced development agreement with the city and grouch 30 year endeavour to redesign, redevelop, sfgovtv can we have the computer, please? >> redesign, redevelop and

improve neighborhood. with 5, 674 new dwelling units, 15% inclougary rate a third on site. 310,000 square feet of xhshl. 27 acres of public open space and improved public infrastructure. already developed with 15 threat rent controlled units will include one to one replace am of each dwelling unit. for context the development agreement was adopt in the 2011. february-john we saw the certification with updates to the yes or no plan, zoning, text amendments and the adoption of the design standards and guide loij. june of 2015 phase one of which saw amendment approval in 2019 and this year. in august of 2015 we sought approval of the phase one a and

b design applications. which approved toast 959 net new dwelling units. and july of last year the submittal of the phase one c design applications buffer today. these mrksz include block 3 w, 4 and 21 sorries and bring 730 new unists online. you in gabriela to continue the presentation. >> thanks, ryan. the approval required for each building within the p merced development. approved prior to permits issued for construction. so [inaudible] fizz one is composed of 3 w and 4. lectod the southwest corner. ill strit in the yellow and shown. phase d blocks 21s at the southeast corner ill strit in

the blue. >> beginning with phase c block 4, construction of a five-9 story belling contains 151 dwelling units amenity for residents fitness center, lounge. coworking paces. usable home pace in courtyard and officer decks. >> as an irregular shaped block it is developed with 2 building massings a low rise and mid rise this look to lake merced. part of the proposal, of the design application is seeking minor modifications from lot coverage. and occupied building standards. in combination the minor modifications compensate for 17 foot grade change and take advantage of large frontage throughout the block for higher quality units.

block 4 in face one 3 and 3w. 345 i have del driveway. construction of 2, 4 story buildings with 274 units. amenity paces and use of open space. 274u nitses 166 of the units rent controlled replace am. >> >> although required to be open to the sky the proposal provide

[inaudible] the northern [inaudible]. that is covered boy building mass and open bridge for 40%. [inaudible]. this is the action item for the commission and which is before the commission and, proved for the project to proceed. the [inaudible] illustrated rus of effort over of the left few months [inaudible]. the department recommends approval of the major modification and design review application. moving on to fizz one d block 21s also 1 where are 1 font construction of 6 to 47 story building with 471uits, 153 parking space [inaudible]. at font comblchd [inaudible] driveway. the development provide open space to the west of the building. . the items before you are 2

informingal items for block 4 and 21s and one action item for block 3w. we are available for questions. is there a presentation about the sponsor? >> thanks to statutory for their

presentation. the project site is at the southwest corner of the city. 150 acres. it was approve in the 2011 pursuant to a development agreement with the city vested development rights for the sponsor to develop the project over 30 years. important low the project site contains reason controlled unit and the development agreement requires this every one of those rent controlled united replaced per of the project. when the project is constructed, before and after the project is build there will always be 3,000 rent krells units on the sight. provides housing product. about sick,000 net new unit when is complete body 9,000 units. >> in terms of reason cold

unit constructed before an existing unit can be demolished i within for 1 replace am of equal size and in relike costs challengered to the 10 notes they are pid for by the project sponse the u units have wash exerts drivewayers and other amenities the current per minutes dent have. the plan is notable the project site is currently rential. . as well is their is nimixed use. it would introduce commercial retail. park elements crediting a mixed use neighborhoodrous driving to external commercial use. staff design review process. so the first building is at the corner of southwest corner of the site. a long narrow site and 274 units. more then and there half of

those will be the reason controlled replace am units. this is the project located on a slopped site and the b. slide you cannot so is lake merced. building looks out over like merced and the design to mack myself the views of the lake. orient in the i american so as many u nits fits the lake. behind the building there is an alley way. a public street. and it runs left to right across the back of the bodies congress there is the northern and southern this connect this alley way to vidal drive the street at the bottom of the screen this is that alley way temperature it is a public open pace and you walk down you will turn left and go down in either one of those yours. because the building system on a

hill than i are stepped not in the. the form break up block. and inform most cases than i will be on a flat surface and from both side a canyon affect where light and air access will be critical than on a hill side. in this instance again the vantage point you will be provide as you walk through will be different. we asking for exception there it is a bridge which contains 16 dwelling u nitses covers 40%.

itself is 31 feet. and or the covered bridge is and 56 feet wide at the lightest location the code requirement is 15 feet. itself is significant cannot low learninger than what is required boy code and as a result we are losing units flinching it and put them on the bridge instead. if we did narrow to 15 sdpeet there is a design challenge with units facing each other limiting privacy. we of studied options with planning. i think notable is this rather then and there 3 single building it is bridge allows to connect and result in savings of 5 million dollars in construction costs. because the building systems can be shared.

so this is another reason why this bridge is proposed. i will not go through each there areit rigzs with planning there is a loss of open space. another example of that. one aspect of the project because it slopes from north to south the height limit slopes down. and so we explored the idea of policing units on top of the building you see -- adjacent to the street and put a few unitos top of those to reduce the size

of the bridge or e eliminate it. the problem we face is this you exceed the height limit because of the slope of the site. and the height measurement is here if you have questions. so this is the building. it is intended to appear as 3 different buildings because of the length of the site. >> second -- we have 600. as staff discussed -- this has 151 units. this sited is interesting. it looks out over the lake. the building is the designed with 9 story wing and 5 store wing the 9 story provides views over the like and the 5 story wing has walk uptown home type units along a more residential street. it combines one volume that is

more residential pedestrian oriented and twhon is maximizing views. >> foible low this is the largest building proposed 471 units is a long street frontage. jayceant to a future muni stopful lobys. there are 2 towers and 2 podium areas and each poohed podium has open space on the officer. public open space at ground level the building designed to have insets at the ground floor. it has variation. that is the presentation. and seth from p merced is on the phone if you have question and all 3 architects are here.

that concludes sponsor presentation open up public comment member this is is your opportunity to address the commission. if you are here come forward and line up on the screen side remote low press star 3. >> come on up. does not look like anybody is interested in speaking. >> i'm jeannie scott i have lived in park merced for 19 combloers day one approved and support third degree project. this new project. i want to emphasize now is an issue of water had is used and park merced. i have no hot water on demand of this is because no apartment building has a water heater. garden apartments or the towers. we rely on water that is heated

in a big huge tower and then piped to us. so -- for me -- what i can't see any point in wasting more water than necessary. so when i take a shower i easy low fill up 4 gallons of water i use it for somethingel. so given all the time of the draught and everything. water seems to be super more person now. this what am i'm very anxious to see these apartments new apartments built. so this everybody has i hot water tank buzz when you been when is going on now, how much water is being wasted. a lot. you can dot math. i know i do 4 gallonons a day. i will let you dot math.

i really, please, let's move on with this. so this we can save this water. it would be used immediately. and not go down the drain. nobody i'm sure saves the water like i do. thank you and move on with this. now. >> thank you. >> locality go to our remote callers. >> commissioners this is [inaudible] i'm the pedestrian summit -- 800hoa owner's association south of park merced. very close. and you know the board of supervisors approved the development agreement and the guide lines for p merced redevelopment in 2011 before our community upon was even built

this was 2015 and 17. it is unclear how the process is, counselling for our community and -- in spite of this a significant change in circumstance to the process. i expect the need to understand how certain aspects of the development especially block 21s jeopardized the structure ral integrity of the community given they are subsfashl building wurnld ground park and large buildings close to our property line and we are downhill south of a loment of the construction. some of the occurrence several times in the past, and most reasonable at dpw last july unclear how our community obtains more information and

assurances our interests are considered in this process. and at the out cest presentations several steps to this press occurred which we had no idea of. so, with -- with -- construction [inaudible] stabilize the hill side or impact our buildings. our past discussions than i are, something guess wrong tell be taken care of buff i think we are more interested in that there is some before something guess wrong so we don't have to take care of it later. i hope planning will look to address our concerns. i know we are just a community of 182 units, which is you know exceptionally mall and compared to 9,000, i hope this does not factor in how i think rational concerns are raised and

considered. so, that's you know my -- [inaudible]. i'm susan ken doe i lived in p merced for 36 years and lived on block 4 one of the blocks that you are discussing today for almost 30 years. i'm concern the press of moving the tenants. to -- new locations. i have been told that everybody on my block will be moved to a location by lake merced blfrd and san francisco state i don't want to live there and i witted i language time to live in this like. i was told this we would not be allowed move back in the new

building that get built where our old homes were. i have been a model attentive. always pay rent on time. it means a lot to me. i have been putting up with rescheduling of we have all the time lines when we are moved and moved, when are we moved and kept being put badge i hope you can take the human element in, count. thank you. >> left call for public comment. you need to come forward or

raise your hand via web ex press star 3. go ahead caller. i'm loraine. native an front i'm proud of park merced. as it provides affordable house to ordinary working class people. i have questions the delay in starting the park merced project. hen in the news for 16 years. i urmg to you approve use your influence to ecpel indict the grounds breaking at park merced a collaboration to affordable

housing in san francisco or city. thank you very much. publicity comment is closed. >> thank you. thank you for those who call in the and shared the questions for the team. i don't know if this is for you on the line. we heard the last call exert our member of the public in the chamber excited for a decade and a half. if you can address what has been happening since the da was, proved by city and may be give hope that this may be having shuffle in the grounds soon. project was approve in the july of 2011 there was a ceqa lawsuit files and the city defended the lawsuit and won the lawsuit. as it should have.

this process took 3 years. we ended up in 2014 once the lawsuit was done. we moved forward wife infrastructure permitting come monopolying process which took 3 and a half years. and as that process progress today took long are then and there we hoped and the project had finance thanksgiving was expires. the term of the loan lapsed the debt was replace in the 2018 and mobilize again to start construction. getting proisz and 2020 happened. now we are looking at the same situation everybody is looking. rents down and kruck costs up. this is a large complicated

project and we are doing everything we can to break ground >> great. can you tell us where the approval today and the 2 to give our thoughts on where those lie. seems they are further on may be other phases happen quickly. phase has 4 subphases, and so a and b were approved back in 2015 and c and d are before you now. the idea is to -- build the phases i think sequential low. hopeful low as much as possible built at once the phasing would proceed through a-d y. we heard a caller now concerned about how the relocation process works can you explaina what the relocation plan is and what the residents might expect. >> development agreement has a

very, very significant robust relocation plan. it has maps of ever unit type p merced showing the size. options to relocate to another unit similar. lot of folks are fond of garden apartments they surrounding a garden space forfect who is would like to stay in this unit there is the option to relocate in the older building the relocation process is complicated. there is a lot of notices. there is the ability to go and tour the new buildings.

one last question. one question you tucked about building systems per of the cost savings for the buildings you talked about. we heard someone talking about the hot water system, do you have insight and how it micomper se to future building systems on the property. why sure this entire property was built in the late 40s after ward war 2 housing built quickly and intended for returning vet republicans. it was built in a sufficient

way. the water systems are learning boilers in central location in the tower buildings on site. the water system is unusual it is private. the pipes are in the streets. this hen a complicated to work out how we transition to a probable water system. but -- the water has to travel i long distance. and there are the massive boilers this fit in the tower buildings each knew building will have state of the art measure and i think this one of aspect this is is most exciting.

combike the things that have colocated and my last to mr. wu in i neighboring belling i don't know if you had conversations with him he was concerned about beyond where you are today in the construction process i state that -- keep your eyes on the project there was construction document and some thing this is folks will have monitoring of foundation or niching buildings any impacts don't affect folks are concerned about foundation

from near by constructions have you had conversations around what would help during this construction. time period y. this it is a question i don't know this project was under construction. in terms of pacific out roach i will defer it burt. this is bhourt is p merced community liaison. >> thank you. in the 16 years we had over 500

meetings community and city. we had dozen meetings with neighbors. ja great if you can roach out to the team may be he was not able to come to meetings and get more. why i will be help to tomorrow. thank you very much >> with this i will add my comments. i think the are well designed and makes sense to have this request. i think you know who i we are not -- responsible for the budget of project and cost savings i think similar to when we heard about the downtown project won'tment to send messages this we want to have housing built in the city and partners with projects to get things moving the trade off here

is reasonable. open in a wider plaza. and again with the stair down i don't know there will be lingering in the your that will be covered as much as drawn forward in the larger available and i assume more pleasant open space you may hang out in. seems like a good trade off and anything to support this project and send a message to thefect this is invest in the city and the project this we want to be partner system key. 16 years in the making 152 acre i grew up here. don't live here now and know the property well enough to know it is in need of a more efficient

design. there was too much open space as there is now. i'm thrilled see the design that wills mack myself the efficiencies. one oak being begin become to the benching and this is an extremely modest design change. and if you look at the whole entire project. >> you will have to reroute muni lines for this. a 30 year development this needs every benefit to move forward. i know the developer has done everything to ensure the

asimulation of the existing tent in the new building and they have just worked out a plan that will seam will low followed through with eventual low. than i are keeping upon rent control units and bmr's we hear how many times an among or year the west side will beirut bruntful don't forget about the southwest per of town than i are pized come through with a massive development and need our help. i'm in full support. glad to see the 3 dimensional images to make it seem tell be a reality. and -- if we get a wider this is covered and will make the project more economic i'm in favor of that. so. full support. >> thank you.

why commissioner mor? >> i like to express my full support for the project in general. first 2 pieces fun street are -- well designed. i was it is only person here and it was difficult. the role and responsibility i spoke to yesterday to the

applicant, mr. abe recommend and director hill us. the responsibility restos all of us without having little say that the intent of the mysterier plan had is guided by legal term and i wonderful piece. rent controlled units will not be casually e lim nitted but reoccupied by reason controlled 10 annuals. great, great kudo. all of those details are -- exception of the amount of dig deep work. iot guidelines accompanying the projects are important. that's yet third piece this is called vidal driveway is a project this we are to comment on today.

i like to remind everybody that the responsibility lies where recognize the master plan. the larger ideas created the division of i garden city a city within a city. that landscape plan is rare thrown under the bus when this plan was approved the vision of the plan needed consider the future of how we grow. there was painful, i think this when we got inllow of it is a plan worth pursuing temperature is also for me a plan worth taking strong stewardship for. il look for director hillous who without our input will have to

approve it as we move forward. the major modifications is something we need to think about. yesterday i tried talk with planning mr. abe ram and he --. potential modification torous the modification from 40% to 20%. it would stipulate to be i major modification. reason is the following. the paseo is not only an open passage way to break down this block. the idea drifts throughout the project as it creates new corridors from further inland

all the way out to park merced. you are starting to bridge this by 40% of covering it you are starring it interrupt the major view corridor it gets techical. i try to suggest an alternative and somehow it did not go far. i assume that this commission under the pressure of bring approval and housing to the market will approve this project. i like to make a point today for anybody considering a project and designing in the future. do as much as possible add here to the guidelines. every negotiated and designed nought just for a single project than i were designed for a large community by which everybody who will live and build here later will benefit from the guidelines. i'm disappointed this we are using the precious edge soit this is the transition to the

min public open space. park merced is blocked by a bridge. i'm sensitive there are things around country who experimented with bridges. all of you know min item lips it connectod the upper floors the city realize thered is nobody on the grounds floor. this is a different climate and different situation, the idea of bridge in san francisco bridging streets. is basically a no and has existed as such and i would strategy low urge we as we move in the future are mindsful of when we agreed to when we committed to transforming this large site to a neighborhood for the benefit of all. >> and again. i understand the need of not losing units i expect more when

it come to the point and asking for mirj modifications. sorry for being length temerits to me i pent too much time on this project and have too much importance to then and there a misstep like this is a consequence in the long run >> thank you commissioner more. >> commissioner diamond. has to do with the bridge. >> sure. in general i rather we did not cover paseo the reasons that commissioner near mentions.

a bridge that was transparent locked at a bridge one story flush with the roof. not flush with the roof. one bridge, 2 bridges the idea of the single loaded corridor did not come up until yesterday. but the ideas in terms of units those were ideas we explored and

explored those with staff. it is hard to describe. you see that there are 4 street frontage compoints of the building on the screen on lake merced. the 2 that are on the right are shorter than on the left. >> there is an open space next to that not required by code.

yes we looked at it in terms of options where i don't locate the unit but it was not when we talked about until yesterday >> it is not feasible. is this when you are saying >> what we came to the conconclusion there is in the a place to locate the units without dispolicing open space. >> okay over over the height limit. i recognize there was a tremendous amount of w in the design guideline and plan without pick not one of the games you pull out the bottom

block and it tumbles and vow are person and feeling of open pace is important and this begins to chip away. it is a matter of low i didn't mate concern and i'm glad you tried to explore wlo there was a solution. i rescue noise that we are under an ordto produce 82,000 unit this is property has the potential to be significant site for many of those unit and construction costs are high and that -- we need to make accommendation to move the projects along. if we were in a different world i would say, no to the modifications but i feel like given all of the pressureos us and the widening of the and sayo below i'm willing to vote yes on this one and i would move to approve. >> second. >> i will call on -- you wanted to add.

why i would add color around the paseo issue. in the beginning we pushed the applicant heard to not need to deviate. but when it became evidence than i needed all of the options were not working out preserving the density the left one height complacement issue we looked what other safe guard and good planning principles we could put on if you need to cover it how will you cover it and a provision in the code this -- applied to eastern neighborhoods at the time when da was approve exclude since the time it was approve that happened in the code applied all of downtown and eastern neighborhoodless. and it is a provision in the planning code that deals with development of learning lot and requires paseos 20 feet ouied and allows them 40% covered the 2 key metrics are 20 feet wide

learning are then and there p merced but a portion to be covered when we looked does it have to be what guidance we had president in the code of what planning principles we adopted. this is why we remember firm with the applicant we did not want them to deviate beyond the 40% americaer in the code. we did not this was in the i random final product a trade off looking at the dimensional prosecute visions in the code. >> thank you.

dm to the solution and press dents in the stele it is helpful to have heard this. i'm hoping weep don't see more -- of the over head masses >> the thing about this one these are within one building development residential versus connecting ping grand jury to a commercial building or commercial buildings min item lips has to other commercial buildings. why commissioner braun? >> i want to thank commissioner morfor raising the how having the covered. upon the time da how they are supposed to work. i'm supportive of this one this

time and i hope this will not be taken as a president for future building. >> >> i just like people to reflect on -- apartment buildings.

i believe the 6 units this would be have to be based on what i described yesterday would be easy to do. i talked with staff and i can ascii you to come and up explain this your staff examined it in otherity rigzs of this project. where units. i really look at those units located over the bustles of the merced facing street.

yesterday at 2 o'clock like that it was irrelevant -- staff we did look after we trying to finds it to be legal and the proposal i'm not willing to argue i did in the see the plan i heard and again if you foal this is a final stand you want to take that is your prerogative. >> thank you. >> if there is nothing further there is a motion to design. commissioner braun. >> aye jam diamond yoochl aye >> koppel >> aye. >> commissioner morwrochl aye

>> president tanner >> aye >> that passes sick to wherevero we will take a break but in back >> okay. good afternoon. commissioners. and member of the public. welcome become to the planning commission hearing for thursday may 4, 2023. we were on the regular calendar item 11 was continued for the benefit public item then was taken out of order and already considered. items 12, and b for property 1596 post street. you will contract c u authorization and the zoning add administrator the request for variance. >> good evening. commissioners. planning staff.

the item before you requests the c u authorization pursuant to code sections 155r and 3 where are 3 a new curb cut on well guna a street a secondary street. the property the post street is on the the intersection of pest and well guna with an r4 zoning and item pan town cultural district. a 2 story maked use commercial ground and unit on the second. per of the existing ground floor commercial space to a garage with 3 off street p condition clouds vertical,dition at the third floor. noted the vertical addition requires a variance. a garage used by competiing unit and new unit. a new curb cut for the new

garage the curb cut existing there feet north of post and well guna infilled. new curb cut located 35 feet, 3 inches further away from the intersection and a total of 68 feet away from the being intersection. project will not generate new traffic on well guna or surrounding streets or negatively impact operation and decrease traffic hazards moving the curb cut further away from the intersection. the project will restore one on street ping space. to date the department received 22 letters in support for the conditional use and the variance. compat ability with the existing building. support is noted the ordinance have strong cultural ties to jeopardy an town and modest in scale and significant in homeowner's ability to live

there with growing family. it is department fiengdzs the project is consistent with the objectives and policies of the yes or no plan and necessary, desirable and compatible with the neighborhood. the department recommends the planning commission, prove the project with conditions in exhibits a. this concludes my presentation and visible for questions. i will turn it over to the experience, architects and only ordinance. >> you have 5 minutes. >> good evening. commissioners. i'm [inaudible] my wife is carolyn. first off i like to thank you for seeing us so late. for such a small project. you are listening to the other project in front of us. we other only owners of

property. we are both third gent rig japanese-americans raise in the san francisco. my grandfather established a confectionary business in item an town 1918 at 1603 post street. in 1942, my father and uncle were forced to move from this location and started another business the same business. in i different election on post street. which was 1596 post street. and from this point on, our business during the war was closed. and when the war ended we came become to the same building. and i pritted the business out of that location. until 1983 i think. and then we moved tennessee

street in know fran to continue our business. after our i'm sorry not used to doing this. but -- bear with me. yea. she is my rock. our twin daughters are now parents of their own and want top move to 1596 post street. than i have children now. and we would like our children to grow up in jeopardy an town where basically i grew up, my wife also lived in san francisco and we want our kids to live in jeopardy an town that's where our family started. japantown. when we first started this project, a letter was written to the neighbors by our architect.

explaining had the project would be so this they could go forward and get approvals from the neighbors first and they communicated with them again and said than i are find with the project. we like to ask for your approval for a vaerns for project torous the rear yard setback. this will allow you to get started on meching a new home for our daughters and their families and our family to continue the tradition of having a strong and direct ties to the japanese community. thank you very much and we appreciate your consideration. >> thank you. >> i'm erin my partner and i

staying 50 feet away from the inn this is an important thing for the inn. set become they were discussed with pacific bay inn previously. 5 foot side set become from the pacific bay in network fourth floor and above. you will see the horizontal red box the original project was 11 feet deeper. this will open up additional light and air to the pacific bay inn then and there in the previous approved projects. and another important point the picture on the right the restaurant a single story building adjacent to the roar of the inn the previous of 2ity rigzs we were demoing this approximatelieding and or the project experience was and belling a 3 story building against it not only construction with the basement at the roar it was going to be 2 stories high exert covering 2 more floors of

more peaceful city in the future. we are adjourned. [music] san francisco developing programs specific low to increase the amount of affordable housing throughout the city. >> the affordable housing bonus program provides developers to

include more housing for i have low, low, moderate and middle income households. this program does not rely on public subsidies but private developers who include it part of their project. under california density bonus law. housing prejudices that include affordable on site may be request a density bonus. it is an increase in the number of housing units allowed under zoning laws and based on affordable units being provided. >> however, the state law does not address all of san francisco needs does not incentivize middle income housing. associating the city is proposing an affordable housing bonus program for higher levels of development including middle income u firsts providing a stream lined application review

and approval process. >> how does the program work in it applies to mixed use corridors in san francisco. and offers incentives to developers who provide 30% of affordable in projects. to reach 30%, 12% of the units must be affordable to low income household and 18% per minute nap to middle income households. >> in exchange developers will will build more and up to additional 2 stories beyond current zoning regulations. >> 1 huh human % affordable will be offered up to 3 additional stories beyond current regulations. each building will be required conform to guidelines ensuring meets with the character of the area and commercial corridors. this program is an opportunity to double the amount of

affordable housing and directly address the goals established by twenty 14 hosing element and prospect k paddled by voters last year. pacificly, prop circumstance established a goal that 33% of all new housing permanent to low and moderate incomes this program will be the first to prosecute void permanent affordable projects that include middle income households. to learn more about the program visit in fire prevention. i'm very happy at fire prevention because not only am i able to enforce the code and make changes to help the citizen of san francisco be safe in their homes or place of business, but i think my work also make sure that my fellow firefighters and first responders, when they respond to a fire, the building is also safe for them. >> you're watching san francisco rising with chris manners. today's special guest is brooke jenkins. >> hi, i'm chris manners and you are watchs san francisco rising, the show about restarting rebuilding and reimagining our city. ourguest san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins here to talk

about theopeioid crisis, criminal justice and more. >> thank you so much for having me. >> thank you for being here. let's start with organized restale threft. some jurisdictions across the country imposed most of the punishment against people shop lifting in groups but that may be applied disproportionately to epipooal and doesn't address the organization behind it all. how can we make sure both prosecute the ring leaders behind the crimes and make sure justice is handed out eveningly? >> making sure we get to the higher level of organizations in the organized retail threrft area so that is something myophilus is very much focused on working the police department on. looking at organized retail threat ringzsx but we have to make sure people are being caught who have stealing and that is a big challenge in the sit a so we have worked with retailers and small business owners to insure the necessary

protocols and procedures are in place to at the very laest catch people who are stealing because they have been running out of the stores and therefore facing no consequence so we have to start there and trying to do more with intervention with the youth who are some of the population doing some of the threfts. many stores have turned to not detaining employees stealing oertrying to stop them and that change in procedure lead to making it very difficult for the police department to capture these people stealing. we have been working with them on a change in their protocol going back to the way it used to be done so we can actually have the opportunity to have people face consequences. >> right. so, let's move to the opioid crisis which had a devastating impact across the community and across the country, including san francisco. how can your office help address the issue? >> the main thing is

going back to where people feel there is a consequence dealing drugs in the city. we can't treat drug steel dealing as a victimless crime. we have ooverage 2 people dying a day from overdose. there are victims of this offense so quha what is did is say no longer the case we decriminalizing drug sales in san francisco as the da office. we have to put consequence on the table and insure the most agregiouss sellers so massive quantityties of fentanyl, some enough to kill all most half the city. sometimes with people with wep ens and guns are multiple of cases with fentanyl are treated differently then thoges with small contties so i ask those people detain in custody. we can't have them on the street hours later, but also trying to work with the police department and our city making sure our laws are enforced. it

is the only people people suffering from addiction will have a opportunity at recovry. imagine if you are trying to get clean and every 10 steps doin the block you are offered the drug you have been addicted to. it is impossible. that is one way we are dealing with the supply side and we are taking a different approach on the demand side, which is to say, if people are publicly using drugs over and over again, that we believe we need to intervene in those situations and so the police are citing them and when somebody reaches 3 of the citations, we then file a complaint, but route them into a treatment court to try to help them get help. >> they have a option take treatment or face charges? >> correct. essentially. we of course encourage treatment because that is what these folks need. >> absolutely, absolutely. san francisco is known for being forfront of criminal justice reform with initiatives such as community justice center and

restoreative justice, how do you plan to build on the efforts and push for aggressive policies insuring we have a fair system that holds people accountable? >> i have been clear accountability comes in many different forms. historically, da office used one form and that is incarceration. the way i functioned as a prosecutor over the years is make sure we are finding the appropriate form of accountability for each and every person for their specific circumstance, and so for some people it may be incarceration, others it is treatment and going through behavioral health to stabilize mental health issue. some it is say ing we toopt see you get a job so we require that you go through a trade program so you can get a skill that allows you to take care of yourself in a different way. for me it is investing in those opportunities which requires us to be partnering with community based organizations to identify what programs we can send

people to, but i'm very much invested in seeing our collaborative courts, which is what community justice center, drug court, young adult court seeing those courts thrive and encouraging the lawyers to explore those opportunities. >> right. what role do you think the da office can play addressing the issue of police misconduct and promoting accountability? >> our job is to prosecute police officers when they commit such misconduct and use excessive force in a way that is illegal so we'll continue to maintain that is our job and our position. we prosecute all crime in san francisco, it is not about what your statue is, what your position is or what office you hold. the law will always be our standard. we can't treat differently where they come from, whether they wear a uniform or not, our standard is the law.

for me, as a black latino woman it is issue very personal to me. we had a death in police custody in my family that i heard about my entire life. i'm raising two black children including a black son who you know, i will have to talk about these type of issues as he grows up. i was out raged long before george floyd. the list goes on and on, but as a prosecutor i have to maintain one standard and it is whether somebody according to the law has committed a crime and so that's what we always look at. >> absolutely. finally, what message do you have for the people of san francisco and what you hope to accomplish during your tenure? >> i want the people of san francisco to know i'm committed serving the function the da office was designed to serve which is make sure we promote public safety across san francisco. like i said, we have to have

accountability in our city. what we see going on in our streets is the result of people feeling as though there was none. they didn't fear even the police walking by as they were committing a crime because there was a belief that even if you arrest me, the da office isn't going to do anything that i'm afraid of experiencing, and so we want people to have a healthy fear of what a consequence will be, but i also want san francisco to know we are a da office that stands by the val aoos we have here in san francisco which is second chances, compassion, responsible alternative to incourseeration bought the end of the day accountability has to be what people said back on the street or community in a fashion where they can succeed. every time somebody cycles into the system we are thoughtful what the person needs to get back on their feet and not create another

victim in the future. >> quite right. thank you. thank you so much for coming on the show. i really appreciate the time you have given us today. >> thank you. >> that's it for this episode. we'll back for another shortly. for sfgovtv, i'm >> shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses, and challenges residents to do their shopping within the 49 square miles of san francisco. by supporting local services in our neighborhood, we help san francisco remain unique, successful, and vibrant. so where will you shop and dine in the 49? >> i am the owner of this restaurant. we have been here in north beach over 100 years.
