>> president alexander-tut and commissioners. leaffairs manager discussing vacant storefront. next slide, please.

there we go. good to go. thank you. refresher on existing law, dbi enforces the vacant storefront ordinance vacant to register annual f vacant commercial storefront chb exempt rda valid building permit is issued within the last year for repairs rehab or construction of the storefront or an application is filed for of occupancy or use of the storefro this ordinance file 240499, additional third exempttion.or lease

holder determines the due to publicate infrastructure construction vacancy [indiscernible] last 180 days and extended by the department. the department is noted few potential isswith the current language. the language currently talks department verifying a storefront is vacant due to ongoing ment is not in a poto [indiscernible] timefrime for construction to be empacted by construction. so, this could potentially shorter term projects. the department recommended a few suggested amendments. we ce justification. we would recommend specifying thmaintenance ongoing for longer then 30 days to qualify to be submitted if an applicant is requesting extension beyond 180 days. next slide, please. the cac met july 10 and reviewed this ordinance. the cac recommended disapproval on the

grounds should not in their opinion be the onsibility. with me today is [indiscernible] from the supervisor office and happy to answer any questions as well. thank you. >> thank you. good morn behalf of supervisor chan, apologies the supervisor is in thank you for the consideration of this item. this was inspired out of community at large over seen for public infrastructure projects or construction projects beyond the scope of many property owners. as we have seen on ness, taraval and throughout the city. what supervisor chan's ordinance does, what is before you today is that it amends the existing building code to provide one extra exemption for because of public infrastructure and construction that is blocke right of way and

access to the storefront make it fficult for it to be utilized activated. currently there are two exemptions. a building permit for repairs and if they are growing throughoccupancy or change of use. what we are looking to do is addx.emption to make it simpler so that if a public infrastructure project submits evidence to the department to is due to something beyond the control of the owner, they would have an exemption and the project has to be days to truly demonstrate hardship and the role and responsibility the department maintenance and structural safety issue inadministration of the vacant storefront ordinance serving as eyes and ears for vacant storefronts so what we e 7óday is making so we are balancing both what is happand outside and so, the amendment before cognize i think the conversation that happened out of twe share the commitment to the cac in that we want to

prevent nt but given there are vacant ts given impact of covid-19 and folks making rebound on commercial corridors e givlen given there are essential construction projects the city is we feel adding this third exemption provides a q delicate balance so we have a vacant storefront ordinance in pl reasonable and as building owners come us with multi-month, multi-year projects they are empson from the ordinance. i like to thank dbi staff working oen we are incorporating those to make it simpler xsthe feedback we got frame the cac and to connect further on other ways to support small business jz buildings so as a vacant storefront. thank you so much and available for any questions.

is there any public comment on item 4? any remotely? no. okay. commissioner comme>>s?first of all, welcome tate. nice to meet you. commissioner shaddix. >> just to clarify , is not vacancy tax, this is vacant storefront registration, so there are two thing this wouldn't effect the vacancy tax i read through this and i worked on the program for quite a many years and it makes perfect sense, street we are about to deal with the t-train taken offline for a that will impact vacancies as to whether they properties, so it makes sense and i just wanted of this, but i want to call out to the code advisory commi qe respect for their opinion and i like to perhaps attend the next code advisory commission to let know

how i feel about how impactful the vacancy is and i somewhat respectfully disagree it should planning. i think it with dbi. i signal this is a good amenthank you. >> deputy city attorney, i want to clarify, i believe the version you have in your includes suggested changes to comply with what the t i cnt know if this was presented to the cach approve to the changing. everything color coded are proposed amendments as committee. >> thank you. any other commissioner co >> i do, i is a couple questions for the supervisor's office. can you tell me the definition of right of way we are us >> anything that access and to and from the entry way and sidewalks leading up to the block where the storefront is located.

often timewe see major transportation or public realm imprare construction materials, other that is the definition, but i think we are happy clarify if need ed with the city attorney. >> i have a couple. i do think that is important to i would like dbi to have the clearest direction as possible on t there is a real difference to me in of if the sidewalk is blocked versus the sidewalk is open, but is blocked. i think we want to clarify if n is sidewalk. is it just immediately in front is it on the block or what is the geographically span what this ordinance covers? have to differ to the city attorney on this. i think we have sen projects that for example, are like s on had west side or across where they are will

be red carpet or is also by definition public right of way, but the construction impacts literally the materials and the detours directing the traffic away corridors or a lot of the other by-products of construction not physically be located immediately in front of 25 feet of brick and mortar storefront but have concrete the city attorney if he would like to chime >> deputy city attorney rob kapla. the ordinance ifkbto the storefronts access to the public right of way, so it to the storefronts entry or exit way from the public right of way. >> okay. that is very limited. itof the sidewalk is being for materials, but you can still enter the , that would not qualify? this feels like it isn't quite-- >> i believe there are certain requirements for wh the public right of way, so if

half the public right of way is equipment that would be impacted access to the public right of way, but section of sidewalk 2 or 3 addresses e the storefront impacted but you can go round and enter the from the other side, that would not impacting access. and the department has to review the information provided. >> we would hear appeals? >> appeals of denials is with the amount of time an appeal would take, versus paying the registration. i done know lot of contentions thatappeal is unfairly imposed. this is to capture construction that means the cannot be accessed. or no access internet for extended period of time. >> got it. as someone who hears appeals i

would appreciate concrete definition as have to make those assessments come before us.then, no-is this exemption intended to--let me just say-i agree of this. my lens is, when this comes before us how do we it? so, this is tht the vacant fee would not be enacted if there was a previous vacancy and could they then use the construction day window? could you walk me through--i am a have a vacant property under construction and--what n you walk me through the timeline? >> i can. thank you for on. so, hypothetically if a

storefront is--i lease a vacant and want to open up a business and there is sisomething that impacts something that would fit in this posthe third e fact it was vacant and was regist and hadn't been registered and there is no construction the onus would have wthe lease holder or owner to register within 30 days so why werecommendation from the commission from the committee to make so that construction--there is something impeding your storefront or ability to run a we allow folks to submit something from the department to say they ar exempt and that is in place for 180 day.1 day, if construction occurring in front of the storefront, one would be submit additional photos or evidence to demonstratis happening.

it is between 0 and day 1, construction clears up then this no longer effect or this exemption is no longer necessary, but it be necessary, 181 day, this lease holders to submit additional evidence so for registering due to conditions factors beyond their control. >> if they don't then the vacancy fee does apply? >> es, and they would be subject to the existing code. help clarify further. >> i think that any questions from so, i feel like this is a idea. i feel little hesitant to forward without more clarity thout the definition,

however, city attocan we make recommendations to move !8 with the recommendation to clearly define public of way and-- city attorney rob kapla, you can as long as you discuss the scope of what of access you believe should not count or what type mpact. i think it is clarify the impact commercial storefront access is the area that probably needs more definition.in code and everything from sidewalk line >> okay. [indcerniblerough to some--it is really complicated in the city.e owner owns the street and the rest city owns the street but that is tocated from this. it is everything from your property line, your building line you are allowed to builds not in the right ment so the sidewalk line across the street your

neighbor across the street on that sidewalk side. >> that is very expansive definition of right of way. i think we are looking at something that is a little closer, right from the supervisor's office? or legislation cover things happening on the other side of the street? >> [indiscernible] >> that is quhie i think you need clarity >> i see. . i understand. th so, yes-so i ask if other simm have thoughts on what the definition of access should be and what included and what would be access? i think for uld say the definition of access that your commercial resident would apply, but if there are things going on-if available, but there is construction happening in the street or down the street, then i would not think it should apply. wito hear what other commissionrq;verit seems like maybe

it needs to be some rule, right? i don't know what is appropriate. i don't know what is appropriate and i bloc so, if it is happening on your actual block, yes. if it ck over, no. i mean-- >> i disagree to certain extent. i think the element of the analysis should be the causation, which is to me the spirit of the is to address and have remedy for lders who are unfairly impacted by something beyond the scope which would be infrastructure construction or something to that effect.why i would be concerned ab a proximity limitation would be, there are-there could be businesses ly

on commuter consumer customers, so if issue with caltrain or bart that goes down and--it sort of is@ó hypothet, case. really, i think the analysis should be can they demonstrate that the reason their storefront is vacant is because of some infrastructure. too remote, i think they wouldn't be able to demonstrate cause of their business to me, if there were to be additional definitional text, it is more so to the due to infrastructure construction maintenance activity and defining what that means, rather then the proximity of the construction. n with an appeal, i think that would be-i think d with the current text of the legislation could make these determinwe could also, because you & everything perfectly and could arise. those are my thoughts on it.

>> commissioner sommer. >> is it appropriate to director's opinion? the enforcement potentially of this item. the department has is generally thought to be inside the property lines. so, in regard this legislation, we would potentially have collaborate with public works maybe or mta regards to timelines and impacts, so i would expand beyond what we do to facilitate making decisions on this. >> it feels like a heavy burden to have to make determinations of ncase, and cases such as this. >> i think in the spirit legislation, we would obviously know going on and like on taraval or any of would be inclined to- >> talk into

accept requests if we knew there was infrastructure project on on specifically on the block, let's say, impactful to the business. there is a lithere would be a little of discretion that needs to bey, we would be collaborating with other find out what the nuances of the project might be. >> i think the discussion is the item under getting at in which case-there are too many people not justified and is it too stringent and people they really should or whatever. in my opinion, i portant in this particular case. it mor you want to be evaluated in similar providing guidance the department has the tools to do d thats-in my opinion, if you read this or if the department reads this and says, i that from this text, then to me and

i think you are probably not going toçu it. that is how you figure it out. >> i ine department operates on a objective basis and this more subjective in some ways. >> right. i like the revisions that take some say the evidence needs to be and i suppose-the very least you could do is say evid but obviously i think the intent is some looking at it and says yes, that inhibits access and exempt. the group's opinion how to proceed. i supporting this as it if other >> so, i'm very comfortable projects happening on the block in front of the storefront. that seems clear cut and know exactly what that means.of the other--i the idea of-the access or causality,

i don't think it is dbi-i don't think to get into having an inspector make the determination about causalty. perhaps some evidence they attempted to rent oumight make sense as evidence, but i wothe department to stay away 1%from causality because we don't have the and not economist and don't have expertise to know if there the vacancy and oronstruction. i think we want to be able to look and say, the facts are you tried to rent, this is or no questions that they could provide evidence to and can-our department can clearly say yes or confer with any other department or asking for their permits or any of their opinions, because i don't thin capacity for that, and we certainly would-[indiscernible] fee we are tight, so

significantly the staffing time that goes into this, i want to increase staffing sing the fee. >> if i may chime in and thank you commissioners for the feedback think commissioner sommer's point, right now there is mechanism or no avenue. there is only exemption 1 and 2,doing is creating a option for exemption 3, so folks can opportunity at least to share the facts or impacts happi think-thank you director o'riordan.think the facts that were incorporated into so that e responsibilities on the lease holder or making the requested exemption to submit the evidence. i th to add any extra responsibility on i hope that amendment regarding the submission of help to elay questions around what the review process would look like, and i think we artotally open to discussing

ways figuring out what the administration looks like and i think look to their expertise for now it is form, how we s so it is both has a clean user inson requesting the exemption and staff administering it so it is pragmatic. >> just going to make opinion or make a note. i know your thought it needs be more specific president alexander-tut. i see the i also see value and i time, value in some vagueness because these weird conditions and the more you box it in, the more exceptions you will have. if you can find balance in my opinion and let people ar educated about the particulars of a situation make a call that makes sense, then--i know there coulnges with that, but if it oc i think that is the appropriategood also. >> i tend to agreyou and

these fees are not huge annual fees. i'm not saying they they are nominal compared to someone's are running multiple commercial spaces. >> are we talking stration? >> the registration fee, >> registering the property in the first place, not talking about now are we? they are linked. >> it is waiving the fee to register. attorney rob kapla. the storefront requires self--reporting if you are vacen more then 30 days you are supposed to say vacant and don't have a building permit in process, i don't plan on der in here so i will keep it vacant and you pay a tment knows where the property is and make sure it doesn't fall into blight. the goal ordinance is in some ways maintain the lfyou have 6 months to register and if you are still impacted by , you can ask for another extension, but potential for abuse or having

misgranted firsfact they are back in 6 cuse the entire year. they are still on the radar and have in 6 months. >> i also think it encourages people to regthey know that--i think there is some comfort there. i think i'm just not going to do it, because i can know not going to not stating that in the most clear ioi think it incehave been reluctant to register because issue to move forward with registering because they know pathway of exsemption d >> so-go ahead. >> just a quick question. this is just about if it impacts basically physical access to the storefront, but if for example, there is no impact to the access, but a visual barrier that because i feel like imagine that might the actual

sidewalk being blocked. it is more lack of access. correct, i believe-i differ to our ity attorney but this is look ing at actual or defined so much visual, but--city attorney rob kapla. i think the example that comes my mind is union square when there of the feeder streets towards the square and the retail buildings had sidewalk access, but the street was ripped uthere was plywood boards. i think if you have that you know it will start within 30 days, i think that is of the do not need to register for a quhole year. we will check back into or has completed and if you art actively trying to get te:bsnts at that point or doing your own repair work, then yo need to register, because you are now a planned vacancy at that point. i should say, the original ordinance lot of essentially planned vacancy units not being

rented. when commercial consideration were much more favorable to people were choosing to keep things off the market and this is mo accommodate something that is outside 's control. again, we put them oen the radar and to issues of appeals is unlikely appeal resolves within the 6 months.6 month appeal on your probably spends more to get through the appeal process to get back the annual fee. i would caution, i don'ts think there is much potential for abuse of or abuse of denials or acceptances, it is really that this is buying the property owner and if we don't feel there is su the second extension, then certainly that is enough for the department clear denial and requirement that the property be registered another nsion. >> i'm still hearing from the ment there is discretion and i'm trying to remove the discretion, and so i would like

to see-geographical boundary i'm neutral about what it is. one to two blocks ned geography. and is okay to say intention of this is to causality of remove anything that says that is dbi role to consider in place of any causality to consider requiring demonstration there is to rent. >> well hearing some proof of attempt to rent, i feel at wouldn't be dbi role to determine if there is a good faith attemp >> not good faith, just did it happen. >> any attempt? i think we are low level here, quality of the attempt to rent and that is why put a consideration, not--sometimes we do amendments as like must include this, and i do language clear enough in my head or concept

require that. i agree with you, t determine if they made good faith effort. it is yes they they didn't if that was included. >> i think that might submit evidence property owner says there is construction on third street, i haven't able to rent, i guess the question for the commission is, is that efwant them to provide other things saying how have been unsuccessful or the they tried and can't because of construction >> i'm fine saying i'm at a lowe for like this is happening and we were not able to rent it.don't think that having somebody come up with a and- >> i don't think there is value in justification that we are not verifying is my point. ner sommer. >> just going to say, it seems like there will be some sort of form created for this, right?

it seems like a lot of these things are nuances of what is that form, opposed putting it in the legislation in >> correct. my understanding-i'll duffer to the department. my understanding is there a form folks would have to for the existing queue exemption vacant storefront ordinance so i anticipate this be addendum but differ to the how that potentially could be implemented. not quite there yet, but i agree with you, it probably item on the existing form where the exception for impact because or infrastructure projects. >> i agree with you.should not through the legislation but the way the form is structured.also reiterating, commissioner shaddix said, this is not st the fee for registering. nominal fee when we are

talking about the lease of san francisco in most cases and being a place where you know, s going to be a lo i think it takes more effort probably to go get the exemption then does to just sign up and pay the fee. >> okay. interest of moving--anyone else? interest of moving forward-go ahead. >> i agree with commissioner neumann that this is a ry limited thing and we kind of all know where the truction projects are and it ly understood when we get the requests. if it is on taraval, there construction or infrastructure project going on on l, then that would be likely a candidate an exemption. >> i just dont want us dealing of causality.

if there is construction in front of your building you that is where i'm at. i dont believe in justify things we are not asking for evidence so i don't want a implication we determine causality. language still isn't here. i guess i would say, i like toa motion that werecommend with an amendment pervisor adopt a geographical boundary rly defined. >> thank you for that feedback and happy to take back to the rvisor and will discuss it further as it committee process, but i think to to that, the one amendment proposed amendment aroundrequires the department verification, i understand we cting staff to be the subject matter expertsaround causality, so hence the striking that piece and allowing for submittal of evidence, but i do agree, i s down to i think the forms and how it is

to the public or applicant they this amendment, similar how one might look whether the current exemption number 1 or 2 apply to them, i imagine we would figure out a way or happy to work with the department to figua way to communicate is clearly. motion that the amendment commissioner-president alexander-tut stated. it there a second?nt alexander-tut and second commissioner shaddix. is there any public comment on the motion? none in any remotely? i'll do roll call vote.7valexander-tut, yes. vice president shaddix, yes. commissioner chavez, yes. commissioner meng, yes.n, yes. commissioner sommer, yes. commissioner williams, yes. the motion caanitem 5, director's report.

thought, we are construction, why don't we open a hardware store? it is nice dove tail that is how that got started. we started this store óin 1983, and we have been going every since, so nears. i like serving my neighborhood.fealt a hardware store is different from other businesses. most businesses you want to buy this or that and eat this or that. a hardware store is different. people come in and usually have a problem and need a solution for you to navigate them through that problem and offer them products that help them get to where they need to go. the people are great. i love this neighborhood. there is different st and cultures here. we all intermingle and mix together and et along fine and i like that about this neighborhood t. be. it is near the beach and beautiand park and stern grove. great schools and parks. not to like? i am always looks around corner the next thing to and crank it up more and make it safer ane.

class i was ashamed i did not have the answer being a feminist. why have i never thought of this ccept today of all people. it was out of that and unraffling it. actually started the infernship last fall and just fell in l all the things about women's oshg mission because we are diverse and so many aspects of audio i did not know and i feel like eyes opened up and i gained a lf ÷ols and queer people in the industry i felt there was more connection and community. ironically my time in the industry is all pretty good. i th who is an engineer. i was comfortable being strounlded by men all the time in his lab i was used to technology. when i got in industa unique importance that got mow in the place i could be fluent and navigate something difficult and it was the norm for me. what if it was n have this environment you are surrounded by technology and people that are going to support you and get you in this industry in a gooy. i have been interested in audio i was never trained in music i was a kid. i nevert because not a lot of women doing thatand my family is not musically

inclined. when i/n the first time i took a music class there females in the class. a rodey for my dayed was load you will thes and monitors and the giant speakers and gigs and help run out the cables and take thing set up mics i did all of that owgrg never occurred to mow that that was a field they and then one i could pursue was doing temperature my dad and then i go studios and -- the men in the dj for 5 years now and comments you get are a girl dj that is crazy. wild. and i have great moments where it does not happen. and they treat me like easy. lling mow what to do they correct mow in ways that feel less i sprjs the opposite an n like you don't know what you are doing

rather thanstent times it happens. it is like when i talk to other like say the same things it is like know that nice men don't experience tht main thing triggers me when i experience different treatment and happens a lot in the audio changing slowly. there is still that issue places that are places belonging for everybody. don't think so. having as not all run bye men like most studios. the are only in the word built and run by women. super normalize thered are oortu girls and nonbinary people. you go in and middle and high schoolers know that this is a field. this is thing there are many jobs you can have in this field. someasts to setting up live shows. are so many

things you can do >> wee go the audio skills and give them equipment. i pads and how to make music and they get to come inools to people who don't have t. that is really that's why i was like wow. i want to be for other fell and queer people who don't have the omspp also to be a mentor for them to push them to experiment and not going to break does not matter if it sounds bad that is the point to try is the goal to see confidence what they doing and passionate and asking for excite body learning and excited aboutaking music and it changed my life to callented in the field i can make music without amazing to be able to be partss and -- ushering women to the we can entirely transform how --
