is the p.d.r. if fitzgerald, which you know, business that's been in the neighborhood 50 years, i trust you have done the numbers with the relocation and you know what you are doing, so i'm not questioning that. but suppose fitzgerald leaves or goes out of business and then you, you know, rerent the space, the p.d.r. space, and it's $3 a square foot and other people in the neighborhood are offering it for $2 a square foot, what's going to happen? >> well, it depends. this would be a newly constructed p.d.r. space, which is something that is one of the most important aspects of eastern neighborhoods, is generating new p.d.r. space, and this is not just a one for one replacement, this is constructing 10,000 square feet of new p.d.r. space. it's a really good question. the terms of the m.o.u. say the project sponsor has to select from a list of potential future occupants that is provided by u.s.m., so that means it would be community businesses that would be serving the community. and we have also talk

they have a person who is dedicated to supporting the p.d.r. sceptre. she certainly works with businesses right now that are going through relocation and are worried about paying their rent at a new place or worried about the relocation costs. we have heard on a larger city scale, to the p.d.r. districts, about this need. i think what your question is getting at, is this is a line on the table. we really do want to flush this out further and have some idea of what this program would fund and how many businesses might use it. [please stand by] >> and so, you know, and it was a question that supervisor kim grappled with. we certainly understood the need or the desire to create this relocation assistance fund. and if i could on just that point, part of the reason is that unlike residential development, older residential development, we cannot do commercial rent control, so there's a requirement to relocate or to replace p.d.r. businesses, but that doesn't mean that they would be relocated at the same rent. so it's a challenge if we're trying to maintain bus

the buildings. on clara, a half sunken p.d.r. space of 4,365 square feet is provided, with parking occupying the remainder of the site. each floor of each of the five buildings is an independent detached dwelling. there are studios, one bedroom, two bedroom, and two bedroom plus den units. actually quite generous units, compared to a lot of the other things that we have been working on. shared rooftop space at the top. these are the section shows light wells and the bridge that spans across the center of the rear yard. and ok, you can see the elevation on clara and the elevation on shipley. the image of the building is microchasm of the image of the city, and ongoing exploration for a language to build a contemporary san francisco. the design condenses the sweeping views of the wide city with streets wrap the hills like some encrusted mat or the boxes along hill sides. gives san francisco its mythical character. this is the kind of breakdown of the project, 24 units in total, five studios, three one-bedroom, five two-bedroom, and

the number of businesses and so on. but depending on which source we look at, it's 150 to 200 p.d.r. in the area that are active, we think. so it depends on water is advices we're providing. also, we could speak to some services that we have for p.d.r. businesses. some of the funds could support existing services. >> supervisor tang: thank you. that's helpful, so roughly 150 to 200. i would love to see in summer or early fall, more analysis on that. and then going to the mint, i'm curious -- and i was not part of the long discussions with the community, but how is it decided that the money would be taken from what the mint would have received under the c.f.d.? for this relocation fund? >> we would defer to supervisor kim to share more information on this, but we did take a look at the entire public benefits document, so $2.2 billion, which is a range of categories. and we were looking line item by line item to see where there may be other funds that are available. and everything in there, we prioritize and think are important, but we were trying to figure out where the key opportuniti

so, lining that to be a compliment to the p.d.r. on the southern side of the street. in addition, we have some -- we have a generous waterfront open space. you can see it's about one and a half times the size of a spray park, that's the highlight. but in order to compliment that, and other scales of open space we have the neighborhood park and also soccer field on a rooftop of our district parking garage, for an opportunity for dedicated recreation. you can see this is the character of the central park and how the stack features as a prominent icon there in the kind of feeling of the neighborhood and views to the waterfront. and some other important public amenities, the childcare and the grocery store, the promenade, obviously, along the waterfront is a key component. we also have a pretty robust t.d.m. strategy. three key points. first is the xx bus route. we were having to have the terminus on the site. even closer that a district parking garage, so having a bus layover means always a bus waiting, a clear and visible persistent reminder of transit on the site, we a

design this street to pedestrian approaches from warm water cove but incorporate all of the freight activity and p.d.r. activity that happens right there to the south of 24th street. through our public engagement process, there is prioritization for open spaces and parks. of course warm water cove showed up, lit up as one of the high priorities. as the commissioners know there's a really established and committed constituency around that site. and so we worked with those community members as well as port staff, sort of take a fresh look at what an expansion to warm water cove might look at, what kinds of experiences, what kinds of facilities, what kind of productive landscapes warm water cove could look like in the future. so in closing, our next steps, moving out of our informational hearing with you, we're going to the architectural review committee later this month. we're going back to the planning commission before the end of the summer just as the b.o.s., the board of supervisors ordinary of concludes their research for our adoption hearing which puts us on track for adoption in the city's genera

unlike retail these businesses are more likely to move outside of the city and i think that it's a goal of ours to want to keep p.d.r. and union jobs inside san francisco. as such, in committee on july 12th we lowered the introductory rate for all businesses and lowered the tax rate for upstream businesses. and then the next round of industry feedback is that the industry craved normalcy and they pointed to the tax overhaul which will be conducted in partnership with the san francisco chamber of commerce and this overhaul is doing to take place some time during 2020, and the industry has asked that we not put a tax if place until after that point. last week we amended to delay any tax implementation, tax rate impelection, to after that -- implementation until after that process was completed. i believe that we have been very responsive, we've been open and thoughtful about our approach as we continue to move forward. we have worked with the controller's office to understand the impacts of this on the tax industry and i want to thank again the controller for their thoughtful report, and we have worked with the indust

over $300 million in infrastructure and remediation will be spent on the site as well as new p.d.r. and of course preservation of the stack. the site's complicated, and many of you who have toured it have seen it's got a rich industrial history, some of of which is present, but many of it's gone. today, the majority of the structures that remain, although there are many of them, few of them are of any significance. the majority of these buildings that remain are sheds, stacks, some pump houses, sheds, buildings that have little architectural or historical value. the three buildings that do have value are three district contributors that exist. the top is unit three, which is the power station built in 1965 that ran and fuelled most of san francisco kaerz power to 2011. below -- san francisco's power to 2011. below is the stack, or the chim knee, and the stack building. -- chimney, and the stack building. this is the station a complex that existed, and the station a complex, i think my colleague jim will lead you through the balance of the presentation, and then, i'd be happy to take

include the housing sustainability district to allow projects to provide the entirety of affordable housing on site and to support p.d.r. businesses facing displacement and amendments to more flex in the for proposed residential tower at 636 4th street. that was continued until september 10. at the full board this week, supervisor tang's ordinance on accessory dwelling units and homesf 2.0 continued to july 31 because a supervisor was absent. and cannabis -- prohibition on cannabis retail and dispensaries in chinatown was continued until august 31 because tang and fewer were absent. landmark designation for 601 3rd street catering uses for limited restaurants, the 312 relaxation in district 4 and 11, and code corrections ordinance passed first read. and then we had one introduction that i'm aware of to prohibed cafeteria and office uses. it will come to you for comment. for of our commissioners passed rules and will be voted on next week at the board. >> clerk: no report for board of appeals. to be clear, item 20 was withdrawn for 2100 mission street. 21 for 1503 francisco will be heard today. commissioners, that place

i think we recently had a project in the design district that was being built that was a really interesting kind of p.d.r. mixed space. and they took the extra step of consulting with walk sf and with the san francisco bike coalition to make sure that the development was actually going to be a benefit to the surrounding community by improving kind of the curb cuts, the walkways, making a very unsafe intersection safe. that's the type of thoughtfulness i think that i look for and that i try to encourage in all of the projects that we see, really, and kind of engaging those stakeholders that can help strengthen projects. so ultimately, when we approve a project, it's something that benefits all of our members of our city. >> supervisor safai: i just want to say for the record, i know i ask a lot of the same questions. you've just been appointed a few months ago, so i think i'm happy to give you an additional term. i know that you've been working hard on the commission. i know that supervisor yee and stefani asked you a lot of different questions, but i think the most important thing is have you enjoyed bei

but as the south of market has grown rapidly with both office and residential, it has become more important than ever for us to preserve areas that are zoned p.d.rand sali. however, we also know that 100% affordable housing and addressing our homelessness crisis is also a great priority for our city, and that this land is slightly more affordable simply because of the uses that allowed on these sites. this simple change will add one additional use to sali parcels in the western soma planning area, especially s.u.d., and that is to build 100 % affordable housing, as well. colleagues, i'd love to ask for your support on this item, and i believe, yes, that we have a representative from the planning department to say a few words about this ordinance, as well -- as well as some -- i'm sorry, requested recommendations from the planning commission and staff. >> good afternoon, supervisors. aaron starr, manager of legislative affairs on behalf of the planning department. the proposed modifications are, one, to retain the original height and bulk districts for eligible parcels, two, to remove the term habitable and replace it with clarifying language and
