i reckon it's enough to have 2 adu's in a single-family home. want you not to give up your original text of the bill that would leave some yard space and would have a requirement to have the rear yard. because once you actually go to three stories, four stories, you could definitely have enough to have aiden adu and a rear yard. anyway i am so ready this legislation and the amendments opposed by supervisor peskin. so thank you very much. >> are there any other members of the public for item number one? please come forward. >> lewis dylan, making san francisco great again coalition. i have reviewed this ordinance and i just want to open up your perception to the fact that we would not be talking about this ordinance if it was not for pay to play politics that run rampant in city hall. much like a lot of societies that have failed in the past, by chopping down the last tree in their environment, this ordinance seeks to take away what little respect and dignity most humans have in their neighborhood which is lack of overpopulation and a little bit

both of the adu's are family sized, 1200 square feet with two bedrooms. in fact, seven of the eight units in this building will be 2-3 bedrooms. there are -- all of the units are moderately sized. the two and three bedrooms -- that means this is an easier price.for more san franciscans. this is not a mega home, and this is not a make a home with a small adu. this is a true multi family development. because the architect is not here to explain this in professional language, i will use terms on the building desi design. it is contextual and consistent with the neighborhood. it's also consistent with this commission's feedback on other projects. it has no roof deck. we are not seeking a variance to increase building size, or to encroach into the rear yard. there are light wells that match each of the adjacent neighbors. it is sculpted in a way to try to maximize light and air going into two bay windows on the downhill neighbor. the development will be consistent with the block open space. we think it is a great project and it is a perfect site for this part

it is a pretty impractical spot to put in adu. then the other is that i know the planning department has asked for the planning setback to be 10 feet, instead of the proposed 15. i would argue that that is more of an rdt issue. there may be cases where the 5-foot minimal is not acceptable. mandating the ten you are losing an extra 5 feet of space. at what that does from a building standpoint is when you have gone from 15 feet down to 10 feet, now you can add a bathroom in a powder room. when it goes from 15 feet to 5 feet you have room to add a kitchen and a bedroom. density is really the goal. maybe keep the 5 feet and rdt when the porches, setbacks and green space require more. those are my comments. thank you. >> any other items of the public ever item number one. if not, we will close public comment. oh, go ahead, sir. if there any other speakers if you will line up to your right, my left. >> first and foremost i am a concerned san franciscan and also a local artist and technologist. with homelessness, poverty and plaguing our
