the only way to get affordable housing and the market won't build affordable housing on its own and it requires legislation to make that happen and it requires you to stand firm and to make developers do what they promised to do and they have to pay their fair share forward. we don't to give them more giveaways to build. we need to make them do their job. so i agree with an extension but only in a very aggressive way and i think that we need to make sure they have some means mean g to see if we need to go back and make them re-do it from scratch. thank you. >> it's been taking time for staff to wrap its head around. the neighborhood issues, including 430 main and 450 o'farrell in front of the board in the last couple of months. these were issues they wanted to workout with the neighborhood. really, public policy wise we don't want to be punishing them. and if we are looking at truly punishing the projects that aren't entitled yet, three of which i'm working on, i want to echo supervisor peskin what you are saying, not all-pro jet alle created equal. i'll throw out a shout out for 262 s

affordable housing is a must. it is needed, and i thank supervisor brown so kindly for definitely going into the trenches and actually doing the work, and as the gentleman said before me, definitely attending the meetings, the community members and making sure that community members are aware and moving forward, making sure that those that definitely need housing that are aware and are well informed of this affordable housing. so yes, thank you, and just -- just hope to have this move forward, you know? this is very key, it is crucial, and as i said again, as a san franciscan, wanting to see affordable housing and not having to beg and just kind of this dream, you know? just hoping my dream can come true, wanting to live here and do the community work that i've been doing for all of my life, all of my life. so very thankful. thank you all, and hopefully, you'll be making a wonderful decision in moving forward so that we can house people and make sure that we get more affordable housing out. peace and blessing.

from 15 affordable to 49 affordable units. that is the increase. that is dramatic. that is 25 new affordable studios and one bedrooms and 24 new affordable two and three bedroom units. finally, for future projects, we're lining the affordability requirements with home s.f. tier 1, which means no additional height, which i've heard from the community. they do not want over six feet. and we're going to go for 23% for rentals with a mix of 10-8-5. that is 10% at 55 a.m.i., 8% at 80 a.m.i. and five at 110% a.m.i. the 23% is higher than our economic feasibility study recommended for renle thats. it is recommended 20 to 22 for rentals depending on the rents. the great thing about aligning home s.f. tier one is that this affordable requirement will be studied by the technical advisory committee and moved with home s.f. to ensure that it's appropriate during future economic changes. otherwise, we would have to revisit this every time there is a major change in this economy. this legislation today is being introduced to next week, land use on the 29th. it will come to -- it

cannot be set at affordable levels that chinatown seniors can't afford. the city is making these senior housing units even more affordable. today is why we're here to announce that we're going to be doing this by buying down the affordability levels on 13 of those units, which will move these homes from 60% of area medicinit willcost $710 a month. the deepen affordability is made possibility through the city's investment of $1.5 million. this investment represents my commitment that when we build housing that our city meets and we need to make sure the people in these communities where we build affordable housing can qualify for the housing we build. i'm truly proud of the work that has gone into this project. i want to thank bridge housing for john stewart company, the port of san francisco, the mayor's office of community housing development. i want to acknowledge our community partners in this effort. china town community development center, the chinese progressive association, the community tenants association, and i also would like to thank barburcy

to break ground on 100% affordable housing. [cheers and applause] >> finally, after almost ten years, we are finally building -- building affordable housing in the mission for those whose income ranges anywhere between 30 and nifty% a.m.i. and i think i'm more excited because -- 30 and 50% a.m.i. and i think i'm more excited because even though we have had challenges making sure people who live in the communities can have access to the affordable housing built in their community , we will not have that problem with this project. because of the neighborhood preference legislation that i and others on the board of supervisors put through a few years back, i got so much support for that legislation from this community. to dedicate 40% of the 80 units to the people who live in this district first. [applause] there are so many people that have made this possible and i just want to thank each and every one of you for all of your hard work, including the mayor possess office of housing, bridge has an, of course, commission housing dev

the first was 100% affordable housing across the street, renee casa nas -- casa nueva. 190 units of affordable housing is an extraordinary project in a single -- in a single building. and on top of that, it has really been our affordable housing developers in transbay that have been the first to lease up their ground floor retail, so whether it's phil's coffee or our affordable child care site, it has been the retailers that has been the first to lease up to child care, and ensure that the amenities provided to all of our residents are there from day one, and so i ask the market rate developers to follow in their leadership in activating our neighborhood for all of us. [applause] >> supervisor kim: i do want to recognize the staff of ocii, our director, nadia cesae. finally, beyond, of course, recognizing the amazing staff at mercy housing that bring our policies into actual fruition and make this a reality for our residents that get to live there, i do want to give a special thanks to natalie gub and her family. i know that her family and husband, david, are here today. i learned a little bit

as for the affordable unit, just to bring it to an affordable rate of 120% a.m.i.u have the discretion to actually add these things if you don't want to send it back to the commission. but there definitely was an error and what was stated by the project sponsor as affordability for p.d.r. and the commissioners did not have all the information we know from working with other developers and from being at the commission all the time that they would have asked the project sponsor to do better. and the reason this came back and was continued several times, the commissioners scent it back twice because a project sponsor was not working with the community and the project was terrible and they were not happy with it. it was continued several times. the rest of the times by the project sponsor. and the community did not ask to have a continued and we tried repeatedly to meet with them and to work out an agreement. we often get very long term leases of 50 years. we've gotten p.d.r. space for one dollar and we are not asking a a lot of this developer. thank you. >> excuse me.

for those that provide affordable giants on site it requires 20% of the total number of units as affordable or 23% for ownership units. under the proposed legislation this project would be required to provide an additional four below market rate units on site for a total of 13 units. the department recommends the planning commission approve the project on the basis it representsry develop of under utilized site. land uses overall in greater conformity with the general plan with all of the planning code with the intent of the guidelines. this concludes my presentation. i am available for further questions. thank you. i would like to introduce juanaled carlos. >> thanks, chris. good evening. i was going to say good afternoon earlier. good evening. thank you for this opportunity to provide a brief overview of the amended legislation to includes inclusionary requirements in divisadero in the transit district. this legislation was first introduced by supervisor breed in december 2015. it is a long time coming. a month after it was first introduced another piece of legislation was introduced to p

we are committed to do affordable -- doing affordable housing. i would like to hear more from the planning department. i was not convinced after that meeting that this is a necessary amendment. i had a stead at the end of the day this was simply about the ability to do more office space. so they said clearly that this additional 3 feet in certain areas of their development would create 51,000 square feet more of office space. i think that we are already at a significant limit. i don't think it inhibits them from doing any affordable housing. i wanted to have the planning department away in. this was a conversation about a maybe in terms of and it always has been. now you have made it a requirement for 17 feet. i. i wanted you to talk more about that. >> i am with planning staff. so the 17 feet has always been in the code. as well, since the package originally arrived at the board, there has also been, as a key site, it could explicitly exceed a -- seek a concession from the commission on the 17-foot requirement. i think the proposed amendment is

i'm speaking as a supporter of affordable diviz. we have been -- since the project started, we have been advocating for increasing the affordability with exchange of the added density that was added and rezoned to divisadero. we thank supervisor brown for getting -- for revising the legislation, and we are -- we are very appreciative of her -- of her communication with the community. what i am here to request is for a continuance. this item has been continued for quite a while, and we are asking for just one more continuance so we can finish the legislation that will impact divisadero and this project going forward. so again we'd just like to ask for a continuance, and we do approve -- we do appreciate that there will be nmore housing. we're not unsupportive of housing, we just want to make sure we finish what has been asked before and to finish this legislation and to increase affordability and hopefully, we get a continuance. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you. >> good evening, commissioners. tim colin on behalf of the 300

amount at 55% affordable -- to 55% a.m.i. households. for those three reasons, i object to this legislation at this time. i want to thank the supervisor for doing the legislation. [microphone cut] >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, committee and supervisor brown. corey smith on behalf of the san francisco housing action coalition. we are here in support of legislation. the two projects that were referenced were grandfathered in in the june 2015 prop c deal. both of them have essentially been sitting and waiting for a planning commission date to actually, you know, have numbers going forward. as the supervisor stated, this does push these two projects. construction costs are on the rise. obviously the supervisor is very familiar with how the economics of housing development work. we hope that these things end up getting built because the continuing delays as construction costs continue to rise and as investments continue to become more and more risky, that is what does end up killing housing proposals and i stated by a

we have not made college more affordable.hat he's trying to do and claiming to do, i have already done. we have lowered interest rates and increased pell grants. we've advanced 21st century learning. when it comes to career technical education, even before he was elected to the assembly in a special election in 2011, i put in a local diploma and gte program that he put on and make sure i wasn't given credit for because that's how things are done in the state assembly and a actually supported tuition assistance programs and increasing 21st century learning centers. what did my opponent do? he voted for illegal immigrants to get tuition assistance programs to take away from parents and citizens of this state so illegal immigrants get advantages over them. there's a lot of other indications and a lot of other things he has done to help illegal immigrants over our citizens here. we have done a lot to help education and try to make it more affordable. i think people should vote for me because it is common sense. the president has

to address the issue of a lack of affordable housing. it is simply a giveaway to developers that directly undermines the will of the voters. i encourage you to not pass this legislation and to uphold the existing legislation passed by voters in 2016. thanks. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm victor quan. i have a project that is probably going to be affected by this proposed change, because we got approved i think in may of '17. there was a variance hearing at the time, and by the time all the other agencies went through their approval process, we still don't have a site permit, and we're short maybe another month or so. so the 18-month extension wouldn't help us, because if i'm counting right, the date that the 18 months would start for me would be the may of '17 date. >> supervisor tang: what is your address again? >> 198 valencia. >> supervisor tang: the clock is still running. answer your questions after. >> okay, so we're currently -- the last thing that we need at this point is a -- an archaeological plan for some mitigation meas

units not 100% affordable housing. this plan will also be the very first in the state to take advantage of 8773 authored by david chu. we will be streamlining housing projects and commit to union labor and prevailing wage under a certain height in central soma plan. we also understand that production distribution and repair and the arts continues to be an important need in the south of market and is a major part of our identity. there will be no net loss of p.d.r. and i want to acknowledge steve wartheim that worked to be sure that p.d.r. will grow. plan is subject to replacing all p.d.r. under proposition x, which the voters passed in 2016, plus nonrest derthal projects that are required to build new p.d.r. we also established a p.d.r. relocation fund to support businesses during the construction process if they need to move out of the project sponsor site. this will supplement building services providing a fund for businesses displaced by new construction, potentially providing one-time support with subsidies. we wan
