file 240499. amending the building code to exempt storefront vacant due to public infrastructure construction vacant storefront registration requirements in addition to other requirements. kw >> president alexan commissioners. legislative affairs manager

discussing 240499. vacant storefront. next slide, please. vacant storefront ordinance vacant for 30 consecutive days to fee at $818. storefront

chb exempt under two circumstances. whether a valid buildi is issued within the last year for repairs rehab or construction of the stapplication is filed for change of occupancy or use of the storefront. this would add additional third zk if owner or lease holder determines the vacancy is due to publicate ture construction or vacancy days and extended by the department. thdepartment is noted few potential issues with the current language.ge currently talks about department verifying a to ongoing construction. the department is in a position to [indiscernible] timefrime for construction to be eligible or empacted by construction. could potentially apply to shorter term projects. the department recommended a we remove the determination

causality for the have submittal of evidence justification. we would recommend specifying the construction or maintenance ongoing for longer then 30 days to qualify and lastly, require additional evidence to be submitted if an applicant is requesting beyond 180 days. next slide, please.10 and reviewed this ordinance. on the grounds of the program should not in their opinion be the department's responsibility. with me today is [indiscernible] from the supervisor office and happy to answer any questions as well. thank you. good morning commissioners. behalf of supervisor the supervisor is in budget community. thank you for the consideration of this item. this was inspired out of conversations with the community at large over unfortunate impacts we have seen for

publprojects or construction projects beyond the scope of many property owners. on van ness, taraval and throughout the city. ordinance does, what is before you today is that it code to provide one extra exemption for vacant storefronts vacant simply because of ucture and construction that is blocking the right of way and access i>make it difficult for it to utilized and activated. currently theons. there is a building permit for repairs and if they are growing through a change of occupancy or change of use. what we are looking to do is add a third exemption to make simpler so that if a public infrastructure project submits evidence to the department to say it is due to something beyond the control they would have be at least 30 days to truly demonstrate hardship and so we recognize the role and sponsibility the

department has on enforcing maintenance and safety issues, including the current administration of storefront ordinance serving as eyes and ears for vacant storefronts so what we are doing today is making so is happening inside and outside and so, the before you today, we recognize i think the nversation that happened out of the cac and i think we share the commitment the cac in that we want to prevent storefronts being vacant but are vacant storefronts given impact of covid-19 and folks making rebound on commercial corridors throughout the city but givlen given there are essential coructio administering at the same time, we feel adding this third exemption provides a delicate balance so we have a vacant storefront ordinance in place but also being reasonable and as building owners come to us with multi-month,

multi-year projects íthey are providing exempson from the ordinance. i like the proposed amendments and we are incorporating those to make it simpler to administer. also, appreciate all the feedback we got the cac and certainly happy to connect further on other ways to support small business jz they don't come before you as a vacant for any questions. >> thank you. is there any public comment on em 4? any remotely? no. okay. commissioner comments? >> first of all, nice to meet you. commissioner shaddix. >> just to clarify , this is not vacancy tax, this is vacant

storefront registration, so there are two things in motion here. this wouldn't effect the vacancy tax i believe. i read through this and i on the vacancy program for quite a many years and perfect sense, even on third street we are about to deal with $9 for a couple years so that will impact vacancies as to whether they can lease these properties, so it makes sense just wanted to--i'm signaling in favor of this, but i want to call out to the code advisory commission, i have high respect for and i would like to perhaps attend the next code advisory commission to let them know how i feel about how impactful the vacancy ordinance is and i somewhat respectfully disagree it should go toplooning. planning. i think it should stay with dbi. i signal this is a good amendment and i'll stop there. thank you. >> deputy city attorney, i want to clarify, i believe the version yyour packet includes

suggested changes the cac asked for, but i cnt know if this was presented to the cac such as they approve to the changing. everare proposed amendments as com >> thank you.other commissioner comments? >> i do, i is a couple questionthe supervisor's office. can you tell me the definition of right of way we are using? >> anything that look at sidewalk access and to and from way and sidewalks leading up to the block where the ed. often times when we see major transportation or public realm improvements, if there are construction materials, other things impeding access, that is the definition, happy to clarify t( $gif need ed with the city attorney.

>> i have a couple. i do think that is important to define what is public right of way.would like dbi to have the as possible on this. there is a real difference to in terms of if the sidewalk is blocked versus the sidewalk is open, but the street is blocked. i think we nt to clarify if the intention is sidewalk. is itjust immediately in front of the storefront or is it on the block or what is the geographically span of what this >> i might have to differ to the city attorney on this. seen construction projects that for example, are like heavy rail improvements on had west sideere they are doing work that will be or brt that is strictly roadway, which is also by definition public right of way, but the construction impacts literally the or the detours directing

the traffic away from commercial corridors or a lot of the other by-products of construction that may not physically be located immediately in front of 25 feet of brick and mortar have concrete impacts, so i maybe a question for the city attorneyke to chime in. >> deputy city attorney rob vqkapla. the ordinance is specific to the storefronts access to 9e+ way, so it means you cannot get to the storefronts entry or exit way from the public right of way. >> okay. that is very limited. it doesn't sound like half of the sidewalk is being used for materials, but you enter the front door, that would not qualify? this feels like it isn't quite-- >> i believe there requirements for what is clearance on the public right of way, so áyif half the public right of way is taken up with equipment that would be impacted acces to the public right of way, but

i believe if there were a section of the sidewalk 2 or vq3 addresses above the storefront impacted but you can enter the storefraunt from the other side, that be impacting access. it would be a judgment call and the department has to the information provided. >> we would hear appeals? >> appeals of denials possibly, but the question is amount of time an appeal would take, versus paying the registration. i done know if there would be a lot of contentions that an appeal is unfairly imposed. this is meant to capture construction that the storefront cannot be or no access to power or internet for ex of time. >> got it.someone who i

would appreciate concrete definition as possible so that we don't have to make those assessments if they come before us. and then, there is this exemption intended to--let me just say-i agree with the spirit of this. my lens is, when this comes before us for appeals how do we understand it? so, is the intention of this that the vacant fee enacted if there was a previous vacancy and couluse the construction for 180 day window? could you walk me through--i am a store owner, i have a vacant property

nstruction and--what happens next? can you walk me through thesé can. thank you for the question. so, hypothetically if a storefront is--i lease a storefront that was vacant and want to open up a businessis significant construction or something that impacts song proposed criteria for the third exsemption, the fact it was was registered and hadn't been registered and there is no construction the onus would have been on the lease holder or owner to why we adopted the recommendation from the make it hat construction--there is something impeding your ability to rubusiness. we allow folks to submit they are

exempt and that is in place for 180 day. on 181 day, if construction is still occurring in front of orefront, one would be eligible to submit additiidence to demonstrate it is happening. it tween 0 and day 1, construction er is in effect or this exemption is should it be % necessary, 181 day, this allows the impacted lease holders to submit additional evidence so they are not immediately on the hook for registering due to conditions or factors beyond their control. don't have 181 day then the vacancy fee does apply? then the responsibility, yes, and they would be subject to the existing code. >> i can help clarify further. >> i think that is clear.

any questions from other commissioners? so, i feel like this is a really good idea. i feel a tant to move it forward without more clarity about-without the definition, however, city attorney kapla, can we make recommendations to this with the define public right of way and-- >> deputy city attorney rob kapla, you can as long you discuss the scope of what you like and examples or the scope of what type of access you believe or what type of impact. i think it is clarify the impact commercial storefront access is the area th pr definition. right of way is established in code and everythi

to the street. >> okay. [indiscernible] >> all the way through to some--itly the city. some places the owner owner owns the street and the rest city owns way too complicated from this. it is everything from your property line, your building line where you are allowed to builds not in the right of without encroachment so the sidewal line across the street on your neighbor across the street that sidewalk side. >> that isv[ expansive definition of right of way. i think we are looking at somethincloser, is that right from the supervisor's office? or does this legislation cover things happening on the other side of the street? >> [indiscernible] >> that is quhie i think you need clarity on access. >> i see. . i understand. thank you.k if other commissioners have thoughts on what the

definition of and what should be included and what excluded on access? i think for me, i would say the definition of access that applies right in front of your commercial resident would apply, but if there are things going on-if the sidewalk is available, but happening in the street or down the street, then i 2 ply. i like to hear what other commissioners think. >> it seems like maybe it s sort of distance right? i don't know what is appropriate.'t know what is appropriate and i don't what is causal. i mean, i can say, maybe it is something like within one block, right? so, if it is happening on your actual , yes. if it is a block over, no.

>> i disagree to certain extent.of the analysis should be the causation, which is to me thlegislation is to address and have remedy for property owners or lease holders who are unfairly impactof their control, which would frastructure construction or something to that effect. an example as to why i uld be concerned about having limitation would be, there are-there could be businesses that rely on if there is issue with caltrain or bart that goes down the line and--it sort icof is hypothetical, but that could be the case. ink the analysis should be more so, can they demonstrate that the reason their storefront is vacant is because of some infrastructure. if it is too remote, i think

they that is actually the cause of their being vacant. to me, if there were going to be additional definitional text, it is more so to the d infrastructure construction or maintenance activity and defining what that means, rather then the but, i think even with an appeal, i think that would be-i think the department could with the current text of the legislation could make these determinations and i think we could also, because you can't define everything perfectly and anticipate every single incident that could on it. >> commissioner sommer. >> is it appropriate to ask the director's opinion? over the overseer of the enforcement potentially of this item.

>> yeah. the has authority over buildings and that is generally to be inside the property lines.d to this legislation, we would to collaborate with public works in regards to timelines and impacts, so i think we would expand beyond what we normally do to facilitate making decisions on this. >> it feels like a to have to make determinations of in this case, and cases such as this. >> i think in the spirit of the legislation, if there is construction going on and like on taraval or any of these streets, and we would >k >> talk into the mic director. >> we would accept requests if we knew there was 0> infrastructure project going on on specifically on

impactful to the business. there is a little bit of a-there would be a little of hat needs to be applied, and like i say, wewith other departments to just find out the nuances of the project >> i think the discussion is the item under your are getting at commissioner alexander-tut, in which case-there are too many people submitting when not justified and is it stringent and people can't get exemption when they really shoul in my opinion, i don't know if that is important in this particular case. it more like fairness. you want to be similar condition similarly so providing guidance the department has the that and thats-in my opinion, if you read this or if the department reads this and says, i think we can do that from this text, then to me that is acceptable anare probably not going to know until you try

it. th the department operates on is more subjective in some ways. >> right. i like the me burden off the department and say the evidence needs to be submitted to you and i suppose-the very le looking at it and says yes,m/ that inhibits access and exempt. i'm open to the group's opinion how to proceed. would be okay supporting this as it is currently is, if other people agree. >> so, i'm very comfortable if there was infrastructure projects happening the storefront. that seems clear cut and know some of feel that the idea of-the access or the causality,

i don't think it is dbi-i don't think we want to get into having an inspector or someone reviewing paperwork make the determination about causalty. perhaps some evidence they rent out might make , but i would want the department to stay from causality because we don't have the expertise and not economist expertise to know if there is nexus between the vacancy and the maintenance or construction. look and say, the facts are you tried to this is happening, yes or no questions that they that we can-our department can clearly say yes or no without having to confer with any other department or asking for their permits or any opinions, because i don't think we have the capacity for that, and we would-[indiscernible]

fee reduction in a department. we are so increasing significantly the staffing time that goes ineto this, i wouldn't want to increase staffing time and decreasing the fee. >> if i may chime in and thank you commissioners for the feedback and i think commissioner sommer's there is no mechanism or no avenue.ion 1 and 2, what we are doing is creating a option for exemption 3, so folks can have the opportunity at least to share the facts or impacts happening and i think-thank o]rector o'riordan. i think the facts incorporated into the recommended amendments to make it so that the responsibilities on the vlease holder or individual submitting making the requested exe i think we are trying not to add any extra responsibility on the department. i hope regarding the submission of evidence will be

helpful and help to questions around what the mechanism or what the review think we are totally open to discussing other ways figuring out what the administ look to the department and their expertise for now it is form, how we can simplify that process so it is both a clean user interphase not just for the person requesting exemption and staff administering it so it is pragmatic. >> just going to make an opinion or make a note. t needs to be more spcific presidenthe value in that. i also see value and i deal with building codes all the time, some vagueness because especially in san francisco there is all these weird coox it in, the more if you can find the right balance in my opinion and let people who are educated about the particulars of that makes

sense, then--i know there could be challenges with that, but q?if it occurs in an ideal way, i think that is the appropriate-that could be good also. >> i tend to agree with you and these not huge annual fees.ey don't matter, but they are nominal m@$pcompared to someone's time if you are running multiplecommercial spaces. >> are we talking about fees or registration? ion fee, waiving it. >> registering the property in the not talking about the fee now are we? they are linked. >> it is waiving the fee to register. >> deputy city attorney rob kapla.registration requires self--reporting if you are vacen more then 30 days you are supposed to say i'm vacant and don't have a building permit in i don't plan on getting a lease-holder in here so i and you pay a

annual fee so it department knows where sure it doesn't fall intoof this ordinance is in some ways maintain the self--reporting but says you have 6 months to register and if yoare still impacted by public infrastructure issues, you can ask for another extension, but i think the potential for abuse or having misgranted first extension is negated by the fact they are back in 6 months later so doesn't excuse the entirer and have to come in 6 months. >> i also # people to register if they knowthat--i think there is some comfort there. i think it keeps people from i'm just not going do it, because i can know i have this problem and it is not going to get leased. not stating that in the most clear factions but i incent vises folks who may have been use they are having the issue to move forward with

because they know have a pathway of exsemption during this period. >> so-go ahead. >> just a quick question. this is just about if it pacts basically physical access to the storefront, but if for example, there is no impact to the access, but there is a visual barrier that wouldn't count? because i feel like imagine that might be more frequent then the it is more the perception of lack >> correct, i believe-i differ to our deputy city attorney but this is look ined access, not so >> deputy city attorney rob kapl i think the example that comes to my mind is square when there was a lot of construction on some of the square and the retail buildings had street was

ripped up and there was plywood boards. i think if construction ongoing, or you know it will start within 30 days, i think that is where the spirit of the discretion and dbi would be, you do not need to register ear. we will check back in when the construction is scheduled to or . completed and if you are not actively trying to get tenants at that point or doing your own repair work, then you need to register, because you are now at that point. i should say, the original ordinance was set up because there were a lot of se es around the city not being rented. when commercial consiomuch more favorable to rent them. people were choosing to keep things off the market and this is more to accommodate something tside the property holder's control. again, we put them get to the issues of appeals and practicality t. is unlikely appeal resolves within the 6 months.

if you ask for 6 month appeal denial, you probably spends ugh the appeal process to get back the annual fee. i would caution, i don'ts otential for abuse of appeals or abuse of denials or accept, 6 months this is buying the property owner d if we don't feel there is sufficient evidence at the second extension, then certainly that is enough for the department to make a clear denial and requirement that the property be registered or allow another extension. >> i'm still hearing from the department there is dithe idea of discretion, and so i would to see-geographical boundary defined. i'm neutral about what it is. one to two blocks is defined geography. then, remove the--any-i think it is okay oto %&this is causality of construction, but remove anything that says that is dbi role and

to consider in any causality to r requiring demonstration there is attempt >> well hearimpt to rent, i feel that also wouldn't be dbi good faith attempt to rent. >> not good faith, just did it happen. >> any attempt? >> was it posted? i think we are low level here, but no evaluation of the quality of the attempt that is why put as a consideration, we do amendments as like it must include this, and i don't have language clear enough in my adto require that.8'you, we should not determine if they made good faith effort. it is yes they did or no they didn't if that >> i think that might be covered by submit evidence the vacancy--if a property owner says there is street,

i haven't been able to rent, i guess the question for is that efficient or do you want them to provide they have been unsuccessful or the statement of the property owner they tried and can't use of construction be sufficient? >> i'm fine saying there is construction and we wave it. i'matlower level for like this is happening and we nt it. i don't think thatn?9; hah a excuse whether or not and- >> i don't think there is value in justification that we are not is verifymy point. >> commissioner 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 thingis on that form, opposed putting it in th legislation in my opinion. >> correct. my understanding-i'll duffer to the department. my understanding is there a

pate this might be addendum but the department how that potentially kr >> i think we are not quite there yet, but i agree with you, it probably would be an additional item on the exting form where the exception for impact because of construction or infrastructure projects. >> i agree with you. i think it be handled not through the legislation but the way the form is structu i also reiteratingnot the vacancy tax, this is just the fee for registering. this is a nominal fee when we &ue talking about the lease of a commercial space in san francisco in cases and so, i don't see this being where you know, there is going to be

lot of abuse. i think it takes more effort go forward and try to get the exemption then it does to just sign up and the fee. >> okay. of moving--anyone else? interest of moving this forward-go ahead. >> i agree a very limited thing and we kind major construction projects areand it might be easily understood when we get the if it is on taraval, there is a major construction or infrastruur going on on taraval, then that would be candidate for >> i just dont want us dealing with questions of causality. if there is in front of your building you get the exemption. that is where i'm at. i dont believe in asking people

to justify things we are not evidence for, so i don't want a implication we determine causality. that language still isn't here. i guess i would say, i like to make a recommend the legislation amendment to-or with recommendation the supervisor adopt geographical boundary clearly defined. >> thank you for that feedback to the supervisor and will discuss it goes through committee process, but i think to speak to that, the one ent around striking the piece where it requires the department verification, i understand we are not expecting staff to be the matter experts around causality, so hence the striking that piece and allowing for submitagree, i think this comes down to i think the forms and is communicated to the puor

applicant they seek to utilize this amendment, similar holook at whether on number 1 or 2 apply to them, i imagine we would figure out a way or happy to work with the department to figure a way to this clearly. >> there is a motion that the amendment commissioner-president alexander-tut it there a second? there a motion by president alexander-tut second by commic comment on the motion? none in person. any remotely? i'll do roll c president alexander-tut, yes. vice president shaddix, yes. commissioner chavez, yes. commissioner meng, yes. commissioner neumann, yes. commissioner williams, yes. thmotion carries unanimously.

next we have item 5, 5a, pdate. >> good afternoon president alexander-tut and members of the building inspection commission. i'm patrick o'riordan,r of the department of building inspection. i want to follow-up on a item you heard last week about extending the existing awning amnesty program. we crunched numbers showing been extremely successful. between last september and the middle of june, 106 permits have been ./ completed and another 130 issued and just need inspections to be completed. in other words, 236 permits have been issued are completed through the program in the 10 months. that is just tremendous. th includes 60 of the original 187 complaints we 2022 and april 2023.percent of people who were original targeted and haof the program

to legalize their awnings. that also means as we hope, 151 awning permits issued or rough the program were for properties that were not prior these original complaints. that is a successful prog one where we created incentives property owners resolve complaints, but one where they proactively address non complying conditions that lingered for years. i want to again thank supporting the extension of the program and i also want to thank over counter permit services manager, jimmy data analyst, megan-and communication director patrick hanen, along with the office of small business director, katy tang and her staff for their smart and effective collaboration to make thprogram a success. next, dbi will host our quarterly public advisory forum from 3:30 5
