going back to, i guess the fourth amendment, the s.r.o.1, i just wanted to understand the rational behind that one. i know you stated that community members wanted more family-size units and so fourth, it sounded like we had heard from a project sponsor who mentioned they were going to provide a large amount of affordable units and so i again i wanted to understand, i guess is the preference for family-size units versus affordability or is it mutual exclusive. >> that was a discussion last week. that particular project is not within the boundary lines of the central soma plants. it would not be impacted by this prohibition. >> i mean in general, moving forward within central soma. >> the community felt strongly even with a larger commitment to affordable housing and that one particular project is committing to 50% they felt this was a type of housing they did not want to encourage in the central soma plan. >> ok. also, that is one that is missing from here and i know there had been some time that you were going to spend between or the community was going to spend between last week and now

in addition totionti -- to agencies mentioned earlier, we have spoke with the s.r.o. collaborative, ccdc, the tenants union, among others. this is a snapshot of some of the tools that we are assessing. we included the complete draft toolkit in the case report. we are continuing to speak with city partners to ensure this toolkit is comprehensive. for example we heard from commissioner melgar that we should add transportation related programs such as free or reduced muni passes to this toolkit. as we finalize the toolkit, we are working with these city partner and community organization stakeholders to better understand what are the costs, the benefits, the major challenges and ideas for improvements or enhancement of existing programs and policies. we are interested in understanding how best we can advance these programs' purpose and reach. for example, we are assessing s.r.o.'s in the hotel conversion ordinance. to do that, we are analyzing data collected through the annual unit usage report such as vie can't see rate and hotel locations, among other metrics. additiona

s.r.o. and are not in an identified category. i know use of the community -- i want to hear more about that. the production of those units also helps to take pressure off of the community as well. i wanted to hear a little bit more on that from the supervisors. >> members of the public just spoke to that specific amendment >> i got it. >> so i don't know if i can articulate it better than they did. this is requested specifically from them. it came during the appeals process. it is not the type of housing that they want to allow or encourage on the south of market believe that housing -- we should be incentivizing as much housing for families as possible and there's a portion of the central soma plan which is part of the youth and family. >> i'm familiar with that. >> which was instituted long before my time. this is just a way to ensure that more larger units are built in the central soma plan. >> i guess my question was not so much about that. i understood what they're saying and the argument about family housing. that is important. what i wanted

nice to see you, and thank you for the work you do with the s.r.o. collaborative. >> clerk: [calling names] >> good afternoon, my name is john han ry, i run the han ry hotel. i'm in opposition. primarily for years now, i've been to dozens of meetings the m.t.a. has had and in these meetings the plans presented are already done. it's not really a community outreach. it's more of here's the plan. we are just doing the community outreach so we can be on record. i have also found in these meetings project managers when asked about one project versus the other they say they don't really communicate. they are project oriented for that one project was a little bit concerning. we talked about the closures and the reach out. stockton and ellis were great examples when the community found out about the closures. they came out in total opposition and stockton is back to where it will eventually be. ellis was not changed at all. 6th street was a major artery in and out of the city for our employees, for deliveries for small and large businesses and to our visitor

i had to go through the shelters , the s.r.o. and then i had surgery so i am in a special housing but i am looking for housing myself. my entire family are well-to-do but they live all across the bay all of my family. i'm the only one here of my immediate family. i am 64 years old and i don't look it but i am 64. i am a senior. but i am here to tell the city and county about the bay, which i call city hall. i call it silly hall. but i think they will change it back to city hall. i am from the fillmore. they call it the fill no more because we don't have anything. we can't talk about housing and none of that. >> hello. my name -- my name is sarah. i'm with the housing rights committee. this shouldn't be something that has had proposition ten. it only lets the city pass local law. all it is doing is giving you all permission to debate whether you have a better rent control law or a stronger one. it does nothing to mandate anything. in san francisco, this is a clear case of you are either for rent control or you aren't. you can't pre

that we became alarmed about was just the sheer number of people that were being displaced through the s.r.o. community, and i think you can read our op-ed in the examiner. we made it pretty clear to market rate developers that we would not support any acquisitions or displacement of people in those buildings. so we've worked closely with market street for the masses and compton transgender district, and we'll be happy to lend any support we can to this initiative just to help sort of quantify what is going on as far as displacement is concerned. our goal is to build net new supply of housing for middle-income and low-income, so to the extent we can be helpful in your efforts here, which e-mail, john@starcity.com, as far as i can be helpful in this initiative, please. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you. next speaker, please. mr. cohen? >> good evening. peter cohen, council of community housing coalitions. just a few thoughts on this and like you've heard from previous speakers, great compliments to the staff, andy, claudia, gabrielle, the team. this is the kind of work we've wanted to

the people at 75 fresno, it's a 20 unit s.r.o. there's 20 housing units put at risk. and the wall on their building is actually bearing for the building. so it's making their building an unreinforced masonry building. we have submitted alternate plans to try to work around that issue but it's creating an unreinforced masonry building and it's permitting us from doing a seismic on that building which also needs to be done. so it's posing earthquake challenges from retrofitting a 20-unit s.r.o., and on the canilever portion, 300 columbus is a 70-unit building that is below this wall. so in the event of an earthquake, and i think that there's an article in today's paper that we're back to a 65% chance of an earthquake in the next 20 years, that's a hugely optimistic belief, the fault slips every 100 years plus or minus 10 and we're 13 years into the plus side. so i believe that we're going to have an earthquake soon. knock on wood, not too soon, but it's going to happen. these earthquakes are not random events and they're due to strain and release of the strain, which is

we at glide want to absolute the people at group i with the help of market street for the masses and central city s.r.o. collaborative for thinking deeply how this project will be a real source of vitality for everyone here in the tenderloin. we are particularly moved because group i went above and offfor securing how doesing for formerly homeless people. that points to an inspired sense of responsibility for our community's most vulnerable people. beyond housing, the fact that group i donated many to our district and included grounds for a space in their building for communal space is a real gift. they worked hand in hand with the people here in the tenderloin to ensure that this area of the city continues to lift all of the people who live and work and learn in this city of san francisco. may we continue to grow partnerships like this in the city that we all love. deeply grateful. >> all right. thank you, everybody. we'll see you at the next ribbon cutting.

the neighborhood. limited public space and narrow paths of travel, especially for those who use wheelchairs. sidewalks serve from limited living space available at s.r.o. where the 6th street residents live. while some you see along 6th street are experiencing homelessness, they are still part of the 6th street and san francisco communities. widening the sidewalk will continue to provide access to these residents and will also allow a clear path of travel for pedestrians traveling along 6th street. we fully recognize that removing a travel lane for two blocks will have implications on vehicle traffic. to organize traffic and provide designated space and time for turning vehicles, turn pockets will be added at howard, harrison, bryant and brannan streets. southbound throughput will be through left turn restrictions at jesse -- for north and southbound traffic. the project elements proposed are a result of five public meetings, dozen of community outreach events where we spoke with hundreds of residents. like mother jones and -- alicia. they have been fighting for pedestrian safety for over a decade. they told me they are tired of seeing seniors getting

the city needs to balance the missive displamt by having restrictions on s.r.o. and developments in the plan to only allow transitional housing or senior housing. that's all. thank you. >> hello, supervisors. david wu with the south of market community action network. this was adopted by the board of supervisors in january 2009 with the purpose of expanding the stock of affordable housing as well as protecting and enhancing the health and environment of youth and families in the south of market by encouraging uses that support their lively hoods such as employment, workforce development, open space, community based organizations, schools and pedestrian safety. planning, however, continues to ignore the priorities and intention wz of the youth and family special use district and this extends to the central soma plan, as well we demand that planni planning devise and strengthen the controls of the special use district, and apply it to the whole plan. there are three new hotel projects that are in the central soma plan that are not be considered as full sites. all th

i'm diana martinez, the program manager of mission s.r.o. collaborative. we are in opposition to the extension of the grandfathering for the inclusionary housing from prop c. by going through with this extension, you would undermine the democratic process. over 75% of voters chose this deadline. it is your duty to honor their voices. by extending the deadline past december 7th, you would be responsible for the loss of affordable housing in san francisco. in the mission alone, we would lose 62 affordable units. dignified housing for 62 low income individuals or families rest on your shoulders today. be a leader who represents solutions to the housing affordability crisis in this city. prove to voters that as civil servants you honor their votes. the very votes that got you here. show us all that san francisco politicians rise above and that you put people over profits. do not allow the extension to pass. thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is john corso. i'm representing union 38. we support dis to be dinnance. this will save over 4,000 units including ove

sure why, if you were negatively impacted by the drug war, if you are evicted on meets that drug war definition more than living in a homeless shelter or s.r.o. hotel. so, i just wanted to make that policy argument as to why we should expand it. i think if you were arrested for a drug conviction between the period of 1971 and 2016, and instead of being evicted or forclosed on you were homeless or lived in an s.r. hotel you should be considered eligible for this program. i would like to make the motion to adopt this amendment. there was a question ms. elliott has made that she would like to keep as evidence by and i only want to ask the city attorney if there's a reason why they added through instead of as evidence by. that was not a request that i had made. i'm agnostic to through or as evidence by. and some of my colleagues mentioned they didn't like the overnight definition and they pointed out i have spent the night at a homeless shelter so i'm willing to expand that to 90 dies. 90 days. it's a typical access point that many people that are chronically homeless get. >> deputy city attorney on your question on through obviouses as evidence

around the time we really saw the very impact of gentrification starting to hit chinatown. with s.r.o. rents going up drastically from an average of $600 a month to $1,000 a month. and seeing the influx of developers trying to profit off of the housing that we believe should be preserved for low income seniors and families who are working and providing services to the city of san francisco. when we first learned about this project, we were concerned about the affordability levels. it was part of a whole program of work that was happening at the time. conversations, surveys, forums that were being held in chinatown because of the concerns of the community that, even affordable housing was just far beyond the reach and i appreciate the mayor for naming that. these developments need to be accessible to the community that they're committed to serve and we have to recognize that affordable, for someone who is working a minimum wage job in san francisco, is very different from affordable for someone working a different income. we have to make sure that housing units are successful to all an

the bay for 13 years. although cocina has won numerous awards, their air of mothers that cook in s.r.o.'s that cook for each other. there are sidewalk barbecues nearly every day and the best bay areas that gauadalupe's goig to tell you about in a bit. this represents not just the soul of this city but the soul of other cities. this project aims to celebrate all. it's a public space fuelled by women entrepreneurs and focused on equitiable place making and economic opportunity. i saw an interview with mayor breed the other day where she noted some of her favorite places toet were eddy's cafe and pancho villa. food businesses are obvious the first step a family can take towards economic freedom. their physical claiming of space in our neighborhoods and cities, and they're representations of the places that we live. when we run up against road blocks in the two years that we've been considering this project, we've wondered if we can't do this, and then, who would want to live in a place that doesn't make opportunities possible? this is the risk, the crisis that our cities are in. we believe
