unless you're trying towhat we$$ya: gtr , would say, we t really need ae, into it's already counted blr r nis goes towa unit on the property p dat counted against them. we don'tmaunt garage space whenposes. in planning s th g garage spaces wouldn't count. t were. garage. and they ar xpandiving space into, i see. so then t know the ins and of the limies aat"úol wou kre that parkingfore ing maximums t as longpal6 as we comforh e bit these questions ahead o time, get i'm mendation,in youf th said about how in the not included in theion of the unit sizes double i want to make sure there isn'er this that it can gamed where now there is something bete large, but realistically being used by, you know,ne of the just that wouldn't be the. i'm happy to chime think we look at this storage space is the only thing, you know behind a garag that, like, right now, again this is part asking to exempt it is sometimes there are these spaces that are, but

it's not clear exactly how inl world it's going to be used. and we end up with applicants of, you know, who is this spa space for all of the tenants? is it deede and it and it, can especially if it'snging as we're opening up this legislation, looking at ways that we can whatever the squar-e footage is that we land on, to really primary living space. that's tha recommendation. it just is going to make impleme of the time. what we're talking about is you walk into a's a staircase up, there's a door to the side. you know it's anyone's living space. but it /éwasn't clearly defined in the legi. so part of this is a little bit of just clarifyin really clear that what we're looking at is of the more prickly ones, if you will. but that would be sort of my best answer to your question. are plenty of examples out there where people might be gaming this that's a broader issue. and so i'm in support of recommendation three. i just suggest that we keep an eye on what's okay. and then iave comments for the second recommendation of 4000ft!s as an incentive to also add an i come down

more on the side with that one that it opposition to the intent and sprom 3000 square foot perhere now that let's say it's a single unit on it but we're talking about 4800ft!s in building, which is substantial increase over the intended behind this, so i, i'm open to other craft that. i'm not quite sure what commissioner imperiale what the if we keep it at 3000ft!s, i don't know what is to provide the second unit at that point. so ir)?m'm n se thatme alternative recommendation, unless i would like to hear. but, right now i'mssioner. so. have a just a basic math que if you don't mind answering my question just to cla two, that meansano up to 4800 square foot a house could go up to 4000ft!s and have square foot at least 800 square foot unit. itre 800ft!s, but there would have to be two units on the pr unit would be 4000ft!s. the minimum size of the second unit be

800ft!s. okay, so there's two units but total willding 4800ft!s. okay. and then yourbe ce. thatgress pathway. and anything that's not dur of gross floor area. so outdoor decks ion'tve count in the area. buthe ilike as miss waddy the really the biggest one. so if the is one common entrance with a hallway and then maybe one of the units, yout we're talking about when we say shared space. so example, you could have a larger second unit, a shared interior space that is meant access. it's accessible by both units required all not counted. correct5ó fair to say that become like 5000ft fire code reqcoaircase, you discoun, the whole pathway to exit. yes. and it couldt, because again, the second unit, it's let's is an overly large could have aslding enve fit that. the

buildingelf could be aswith the allowablermation. may one thing? i'm sorry. w in later, but just like in general for this particular, neighborhood, heights and the other one that is in say, what is the percentage of like really lots and what are what are the average lot sizes? tha. i think what's interesting is when we first heights sud, one of the reasons it was developed is because were substandard lots because of all of the hilly neighborhood. this isy expansive the sud covers. so i thinkrall that most lots in the flatlangds are goingur standar might be able to elaborate more on whether th our average of larger or smaller lots7& the exact answer off top of my head, but this neighborhood i. there are definitely, smuch lar heights. there's actually a lot of through lots where the sort of the know, steeply lot af those lots tend to exceed 2500ft!s and are, you know, significantly larger than the size thresholds established he, the other point i mention is to keep in mindexv just rh districts and into other zoning districts. there's n are outside of the you know, rh 't presume that two units is the only number of units that couldo there

could be a multi unit building as well. you know, if you were if miss maloney sort of scanned t cou more density than just two units. and this might be helpful. thism 2020 when we were first analyzing this original apply to all rh caveat that i said in in 2021 and i will say9 is that thist data. this is the best wessor information a have. but if i could get the overhead. sfgov. all. so this is not lot sizes. this is aver. so in multi units buildings we're looking at that what the assessorsize and dividing it by the number of units. the assessorery imperfect is going to common spaces in this neighborhoods have an average unit size that is much larger than others. it can be an indication so going down to the area that i'lloom in a littlefy to make this slightly around the c in, noe valley, theaverage

home size is area it's slightly same at we have a little bit higher density there is, 1342ft!s, that matches with some of our more hilly neighborhoods like glents. thank you. it's kind of related to what miss walti was mentioning. like some of here are not justill be possibility be a four plex those scenario, what with thisommendation. what i unit maximum size could sure. so if i yourreports as one we have where the sud currentl, where it currentlyes. and then on the right we have where the expansion would be not only with the boundaries with ou that yellow, like w left are the new zoning districts. this would apply tole bit south west side. and nc t ntsd. amount of build on our ncds it'sly 3 to 5 units per lot. but ag depends. it's not

a our ncds like nc one sure offhand if we have nc one here walley, the lot max residential districts,nce do whereas in residential d in ouran build more units. but again, it's numerically controlled. okay. yeah. looking at this, just there's for sure nc three there's two, there's r1, r2, rm two, nc nct. so pretty diverse of difn:sity coyntrolled aolled. okay. thank you. andfoot limit applies inose dicted ordinance rm so even iny an nc th maximums could still it's unit did look at that when we.xy rare that wea proposal for a especially a single family home in an especially to reore nc related districts. why recommendation one and ng to seeoner williams your thohtful- questions, i'veust listening, up here, i've, i', from reading the4a packet, i mean, as

farr equity, you know, i think thesood, keeping these homes down to a size that su that's, n yo recommendations, kind of lifts some some, gives that you know, how, how these monster homes impact neighborhoods. i thin s onhos,me iout of., a tow youma effort here think-

these two units were connected fs can say that the to floor two, it connects by stair and by elevatorout the building. how would you calculate that a several of those. and i'm kind of curious how these little sure could be interpreted. and i will preface is not necessarily written down anywhere, but i'm my gut of howhink we would approach this. this was pres elevator was keyed as being only, whichenario that we see, that would be integral ints. so we wou82 count that if there wasolds w have to walk inthe street and walk the stairs to get into their door, that wouldcl thi was ambiguous because it could be interpreted back to what is am very supportive questions about a legislation does not,hathas to be used as an aducompletion of that r see any any way of opening being another to make a mansion. so innd one and three, very very pleased that, up to a

broader consideration th the department to administer. so those would be my to make a recommendation if w are one second and then i'll come back to other ways, tocrx7 incentives to encourage the in density? well maybe over to miss maloneyon'q question. we've been examining this problem for arough many different efforts. some that c zcordinances from supervisors and some that we directio, i think we stand by our that ity is to have the carrot the homee going to try a l unit on a lot zoned r-2 or r-3d be only up to a ce size before you arered to give us another unit of at trying concept that you've seen in o have potentially maybe been a little too complicated and simplify that in scenario, what we saw in the first two study forced applican a questionable how it would be used. but applic project already as originally proposedting an adu, especially of a livable size, it feelse more, fo a better wordtually feels

like a sizable home.tainment room or a weight roomlti-generational living, evenvidually rented out. and so kind of what we were 3000ft!s, we all agree is a very large a 3000ft!s and a accessible to the middle class, san that great of a! can encourage solómebody to then build us an this that opens up new class accessible housing. so that was our intentat spe. i appreciate the additional explanationident laura, i'll go back to you because i interrupted go+ a limb came europe two was talroached very differently. so hndets, the transportation systems. they have densify which has become a worldwide giving informed recommendations on how people could particular, un s guidance by people, perhap-y rather order to accommodate more people with limited infrastructure, etc, there is a way of shrink our units still make them totallye, but take up less space in

orderople. i need to say that because at some li department, design anplored. so i'm going to get, on what's in front of, make a motion that we modification one andhrnd. as to be an intent i think the motion written with modifications, not specif three only. i on can be made as part of the resolution. if this motione intent. i think staff can h deliberation, commissioners thereas been seconded to adopt a recommendation with modifications, but only those recommended by the departmentcomm. i'm torn the two is an extra will not exist going this way. so i for taff recommendations one, two and three. the table is, is, motion to adopt for approvaonly with recommendations one and threrit now. sotion were to fail, no iould introduce another motion two and three.so. c

another one first. so the motion on the table is a recommendation modifications, but only modifications one and three. and commission president diamond just indicated if that ifmoill encourage someone else to make wouldl with all s recommendation number two. thankfew more seconds to think. so i williams braun. hi commissioneris and commissioner. presid 4 to 3 with commissioners mcgarry. so. andnst0n for case number ryxed use zoningtrplan afternoon, commissioners veronica flores, planning apa ament welcome mcgarry. diamond, the item beforees in the urn mu zoning district ordinance. this was sponsored bysor walton. and ung/fortunatele from the office attending the hearing today. but i am joidl arvanitidis. she canciios from thepment few words, after my presentopos does primar first is to revise the definition of laboratory include biotechnology in the

listed examples, the second amendment is to make laboratory uses zoning district asation would at 700 indiana street. this is an item that you heard on june 13th and unanimo approved. there has since been a ceqa o project and it has been scheduled for the board of supervisors in september, followed by the large project authorization appeal atf ap whatever the outcome of thet 700 indiana would notsted through a application in b there may also be? other pot impacted projects, but most orll enough to be approved over the counter not support. this proposed ordin the generalyoudopt a recommendation of disapprnis has changed and really ratory, a life science. it's different than we define these terms proposed, adding the biotechnology activities within the definition of laboratory change the definition. it merely illustrates an

additional example. but ar all of thi within the laboratoryon, some examples of thga include medical research, food fits under the definition. proposed amendment doesre. additionally, this amendment does not resolve anyvitween the la life science, and theepar ordinances will er that code, rather than between these terms. the some potential solutions to avoid these confusing definitions and land useon would also be to eliminate the life scie which again, just adds or continues tonfusion p zoning district. i'llsí off by noting that themu district is reallyéd uses and maintaining characteristicsrly rial zoned areas. it's meant to buffer betwe residentially zone;d areas and the production, distribution and repair, or pdrastern. the map in the staff reporthows that the umvu districts are ugh various neighborhoods, so this really

and for all that you do andcity. christy carella and i am the for bi california. biocom is the state's oldest and largest trade association for life sciences, re over 1400 members with 620 of those. i am here today comment letter on this agenda emphasize that i made int revealedlion ofutput in this includes over 25,000 directly in the sector and also supported by the sector. laboraties, which not only include but employees at all levels of education, arerancisco living and working within the embers cersity of our, both in the neones c potentially force co the innovation that san f i urge you to this legi could har city's e that allow these vital industries the integrity of mixed use. good afternoon am the founder of schulte

therap ucsf. and i want thank you o on you. also to for all of the sy y thank you work that you guys do. yo it's hard, and you have to balance many different to keep our cities vibrantek2. and that's not an easy tas it's very similar tscientists complex networks of the multifactorial ways in which interact. and it's important to think pieces that are coming to this. i'm actually a reluctant ceo of a f that there wasthere was aome to actually address chronic,elong the root causet if we intervene early enough, we're preventing disease. i was dismayed much many of our not what they have a very they have a it is not thevelopment that takes0 to 20 year a commercial product that they're health. soy important role beyond important to point out that as a city a2 done

a lot of work to try we take two wonderful characteristics of san francisco support our neighborhoods vibrant and diversified amazing strife, strife, to really reach out and innovate in a way that nobody else does. and those can be seen as of those, held the one of th we think laboratory use is &'wv grassr$úoots and innovation you very much. okay. last call public =one this matter is now before you commissionersksomf,proved the i is somewhat of aewin9bid have heard and i am scratchingearch of a problem, i am issuea is that supervisor walton is legislationand testimony about it. there's nothing in the draft staff re, so i am, listening e@ts. i think theam exceptionally wellout consequen legislation and i find myself, very much for all of the reasons that ar a 37% vacancy

rate and need to be doing everything we businesses. the umu was designed spec the past. if we don'tone, increased pressure, and facilities in the pdr zone located that are only perm see ab, is i think the m and they could use someprpp think, a land usey sensible, but that's han this does. if use solutions and for that.aboratories, then w real issue or if analysis o a ccerns about particular types of labo uses that might creater or not to i be lifet we need toay i re business, that it's trying toto tha i think i'd like address what president diamond mentioned about if it's a really a life safety issue that we do have a lot of good building code a design to save lives. and i myselfvious years of working for a larger

architec and man, robust. so and really of them ucsf. so i u the i am thinking that not too long hours on this and we had mentioned a lot ofig outreach and community outreach a good neighbor from this particular projectopinion, kind of initiatedative pr from supervisor walton. andn earnest believe, i hope the project sponsorwith actually doing much mor elevating all the youngerontinue to pick bi specifically in d10like o attend a talk yesterday i in that talk i quite a lot of innovators, scientists doctors that turn int tidren'akes if there's 100 drugs or get through fda it through, and it

m 10 or 15 years. so you guys fossil industry andion, we're not creating we're not trying to let something doordash do. right. let's do another new really going to save lives. and i think isn't really, do a lot faster to help save lives our,r creativ more people to come to san francisco robust vera people here to invent something really save lives. so i don't see in land use matter, we should prohibit a, really robust growth of econo not only hope something faster and quicker for 25 tt we don't have y to wa approval, but also immediately stimulate local businesses inspire our younger kids. i really don't want to see more this room spending the entire day coming here to know, like, you know what? don't displace u my

really good job. and alongside with good report about explaining what kind of staff's recommendation. so i'm here in moti to adopt staff recommendation williams, than. i just want to appreciatay, and spoke,ghts and your testimony is well taken. i have a different first of all, i had to leave. the bathroom during plannings, presentation. but was was there any social economic equity?sis done?egarding this proposal, thank the staff report and our analysis did not data of what the socio econo w this big picture standpoint, we of what thewould be new laboratories wu. described the concerns from there. and add clarification, because i, i

think there might just the public of w businesses or existing laboratories. soxh just wanted that this proposed legislation would existing laboratoriesose legally established laboratories to close doors to vacate the premises, leave they. what it madeat turn those legally established laboratories into there, those laet's say, if to hire experiments not be able toin ther also would not be able to accommodat larger, specialized expansion in that respect. so a physical impactpa t b some of today, j, existing legally establishe tould expand. they would not be able% neighbors if this were enacted as drafteder question for you-. how about e isting, and residences that live in the in how would more influxt our existing residents? and, has si on that of our e are

small business owners, they continued existence of the laboratories. or if there's new have you, have you guys, have you guys reports or, because it's, it if there is the biotec come in more into this area. and i'm just wondering what theng residents and our social and racial, equity in the. sure. the staff reporte racial socing to so one of our would push laboratory users outsideide the city, then to our pdr districts which then has a nio distribution, repair jobs which tend to have entry level labor and semi-skilled labor those communities by taking away jobs idential, but even there, they're not going to be because we have very robust controls to preserveo.ion 317 would

not allow a labora tory use to s displace them, and then build areviewed by you all. and iaranteed y so and the one othertement, althoughg legally established ieve three projects including the on month ago. and i believ two others that havey passed. those projects could note the effect of undoing what you unanimously approved a have direct impact onhere general just, one more quene going to separat we goes where peoplehink there's a concernxl about that as well. and i'm wondering if thi somethinthat came up at, like miss waddy hearing approveoject people that live in this area. how are we goingo have a buffer?d? so i'm just wondering, notit self-contained. they don't usually have noxious fumes. not a the umu st intended. i don't of that. i mean, i'm not sure of that. i apprioning tha

sure, it's difficult to understand what thisbecause whatsupervisor is intending to do other than in the umu entirely which is not justther areas of the city. so we're sort of don't fully understand his concerns on. we have to narrow in on those educated guesses about what impacts labs could have. but that hasn't been fully articulated to us. so was intended o uses in it, even if this passes, that'sf different uses can still locate there, suc there. so i don't thinksoise that's why thist least this item. and there's a couple some of which have been articulated already a little bit. but, you know, at at es throughout the entirety of the umu seems like approach to a zoning district that encompasses a very larg just central, the central waterfront,

trero hill, show it hasxi think, selectively selectively approved for parts of the city based on theibrant mix of making sure it's not likely lead to residential displacement, at least n displacement. he laboratory facilities really do support our economic diver[zsity and our ability to attr the point about, yen with our, our still zoned as pdr, distribution and repair where we need to havepp distribution.e i don't want to are tryingto in our pdrf6 ct those businessesp6hemselves benefit, in a way, you know, creating relate these lab buildingsand then also, i'd. we are in ffaces throughout the ar, an we are a higos you can e a wide range of occupations. they'redxs in the city. keep those jobs here in the city as appreciate the very detailed analysis:c those ideas and recommendations, especially around cleaning up ours in the zoning code, can maybe get discussion, so that maybe there's moreed f futur legislation

that's in front us, i do agree. i suppendation to disapprove i think mr.rr's comment just a few minutes ago, kind of expressed is intende not do not belie opine onpr encourage staff to spend morer reason why i'm saying that is as while particularly the potrero boosters have verbalizebo lab use in umu and that is a very simple comment byeing bio enoughty about fr, and we all can have different opin that. there's been a lot said and not said,ndhere is way or the other, but that particular worldwidereated i'm sure, among all of here, a significant amount of concern a. and while i greatly doing, and while consider it to be forannd to move do believe that the potrero boosters

because they're the recipients of a their neighborhood, are concerned about it is to iárdin a better job. and if t ae comes that. i do appreciate thend, and ipologize for noyour name, it said i would be inpt ireasonable safety concer that need to be addressed, and we do not perhaps have the1 our code. perhaps mr. schwitzer could talk to t think. were mr. starr covered the topic. i was just intent of the umu district, would you mind doing that? soody has a strong grounding on that? i would appreciate if you would. starr said, the umu district is not is of even a neighborhood cdistrict. it is purely industrial and then through the eastern, we created this district to allow residential uses to and create a trulynded to haveherj% uses continue to siid s seeking ang into the right. you know, the right blo are the sort of the transition zones between purely residen start non residential uses to rethink

what the wholewhol nat of a umu district is to begin with. so g i apprecind? yeah. please,rel'dt a covid leakage, all of these any any sor licensing, which goes th a organizations ines, like ebola or like four. it would only be owned by the downtown san francisco. the kinds of labs you're seeing inco one and bsl two licensing, like the high schoole they're much smaller. they're it's highly regulated byiu the federal sov through other laws, in a fear, i am that that a bsl be licensed in the umu area simply beúicaus t o it. i appreciate th with with the classifications between b ultimately, the devil is. and again, i believeperhs zoning is not the communities like cambridge, leaned to the side of havingore safety overvieweal with community concerns about lab safety i'm not an expert exactly how that can it and

felt that there are other people tryingandn animation issue, is buildings mostly are inward looking, inward looking buildings. when i need to go and pick up dental lab, i'm walking because r oriented use andl, and i'm that is one concern that i, a member, also spoke partici street life as itcr, larger use. they would have liked to see somtion being acquired by planning, perhaps, of how to buildings more in, quote, pedestrian friendly of how they so nobody is here toeet lab, and going disapproval because perhaps i exctpend really get to the are supposed to disapprove or approve here. and, commissioner, point thawnt a tter understanding to date, we h more in-depth conversation. and as you ow, legislative, supervisors for it to be heard bythe last hearing to have before the 90 day clock is u we have tried unsuccessfullyher thy is it. this is the. you

standing? are they still here? i would would have to defer to folks in cityá÷ maybe laurel can answer. she's probably m're still in called the office there. okayissioner imperial, thanknd thank you comments, because it does com with with the staff recommendation andthis ofnow, au know, any recommendation by the staff, you, we usually the plan i know that the planning departmysis. and at would like to hear what thear their analysis or what their you know, what they're hearingrom their district as well, so i do takent those analysis inform about my equity analysis is something i do find th department could have explored moreinto the racial socioeconomic anysis in part of this is more about the in a way of co affects the job employmenthen you map, the, you know the commercial districts, the to parks, and also and i,

youg at this point of what the supervisors concern and i'm speculating as his concern i abof ir the real estate market or the housing real, perhaps, that we don'tisf thch, and its impact, perhaps, the issue is it's going to be kind. again, i do not know the biotech market. and, you know, and i do appreciate all the scienti but at the has a general we are putnc in a predicament of so in order to analysis of what it means, not just f city, because we're creating part of it. and it was zoned for office developments. and now all of those officese doing that kind of rezoning in resp market, but we're not it inhat would it look like, what itid to the appreciate the conversation thatreet, becauseoc, there were a lotorement, community engagement. and that's what we o companies are coming here are going to integrateial of san francisco same time not displace, not further displace same time. and

thosere very dealing with here. and thatry& cautionary about the disapproval and'm also going to share my frustration that i wish us more explanation but yeah, but that'sthank you, comhello, everybody. there's no better example of for all cominge work and sign science will create opportunitywhmunity as well, not to mentionb is is a business for the carpenters union. so from a condpoint, 700 indiana, mission bay and all that puts hundreds of people to work localitions, health care for notáo family, their families as well. so, what. community can get, and if there's concerns of thisnvestment, basically here we already have a motion that has been secondedotion th ed$j t i for disapprovalss williams.

nay, commissioner braunioner. imperial. no.fpio nioners that 3 minute break ba for commissioners, we left off undda final agenda today, number 16, case conditional use afternoon. commission president diamond and commissionerslcome. commissioner mcgarry. i'm maggient staff conditional use authorization pursuant to plan sections 303 and 317 for t uelling unit, or udu, street in an rh two ning district and the bernal heights spec property contains a three story residentialits, one at the second floor and one at the ground floor is divided into two garages one o which was conve't. the project would remove the cooking facilities and its former use as off street parking. noproposed first brought to the tult of a dbi notice of violation anded abate the violation. a permit was w< filed to legalize the udu, but oved it in januaryof of that projecte instead of legalize it as a new unitz. in the past ten years tenant,

a close relative of the property owners, to december of 2017. that was the only ew?. as described in the from a neighbor who inquired our udu removal policies, but dit express project itself. the projectbalance, consistent with the policies of the general plan, although it woul resuled unit as space has only been rented byyears precedins the project to be necessary with the surrounding neighborhood and not to be detrimental it meets the requirem the residential design guidelines so the department recommends approval. this concludes my presentation. it's a sh one but i' for quest now hand over to the project sponsor havioners farewellamond. and welcome president mcgarryq7 accent with you. i'm from scotland originally. i'm michael hanna from mimic architecturei'g architecture in the city among my design projects i also like to out local citize need that vy complicated planning and dbi process that they can face when

good window in that sometimes is reallyning economy and jobs and all these things. váth] this, a who went into the planning department crying after years of case. and in su from what i can glean from my participation example of the weaponization of theant,d authorized unit sort of mean by that is that this building is co-owned by, a the unit in question below the unit in question, ere's almost no light because ground. it's just received daylight at the garage door, light. well, to the to the, the family who are middle east, the mwife that unit. they put a kitchen very foolishly, put a kitchen downstairs in thearage, witho

the human habitation a comfortable unit. and how someone lived down there. but to call it a unit or a, you know is a bit of and unfortunatelybu be building. received in 2 enforcement action. and throug a not fullyenforcemen obviously the unit was unérantly, albeit thought that @" a unit in. and unfortunately the architects that they hired previously and paid them v th staff never told them or weren't c in the documentation, but it wasn't clear that there w 6 itects, paying all es worrying about the fines, doing all these things until they gotnd i informed them that project that isn't legalizing e wifeths, and one works in

the finance department. i believe in this buil was just at a loss. and mohammed, the a huge loss. and theyy were being forced to s out $500,000 or 400,000 as the construction cost. but once fees, you're talking half $1 million. they impression that they were compelled by law unit, that they didn't want to thank you is your time. that's enough. okay. ission call you back. okay. with that up public comment. members of the public this is yopp matter. if you're in the chambers, you need to come forward.nd this matter is now before you commissioners. just just can i help just to confirm, no tenants were ever family errs take into account when making decision is whether or not it was. the use was limited to family memb. so the new findi secti are were there evictionsw a 2007 owner for a one ofunits onxe property unrelated to the even know if ite ownership at that time. there wer

and then the second finding is unit and specifically family, a direct sort of up or down rel nature. thank you. i doan see you, but i'm curious to hear what others saym" vicesident moore, i believe that mr. hanna just description fully explainsicated but simple background of what isrothe plans waâ no really attempt other which you think you with it. and i'm in full support andn. second. there's nothingth motion that's been s;y that motion. commissioner geary i commissioner. so i comm commissioner imperial i commissioner president diamond i soses unanimously 7 to 0 one all.
