i support the avalos/kim legislation. i ask you to seriously ask the city attorney whether you can even entertain the legislation that is proposed by supervisor christensen and supervisor wiener without sending it back to the planning commission? at the planning commission, there was a discussion of the christensen amendment. and that discussion was very explicit; they didn't have enough information to go up or down on it. and they were not taking a position on it. the planning code requires amendments to the planning code be considered by the planning commission before they can be circumstantial considered by the board of supervisors. what they did, as they considered by structuring their vote on the christensen amendment they said we have nothing that enables us to take that position, because there is no code language. they took a position that it had toom back to come back to the planning commission and if you amend the legislation, with any amendment not considered by the planning commission, that it go back to the pl

supervisor wiener withdrew his amendment the amendment and the one that supervisor jane kim and commissioner avalos put forth i totally support we have to not only for the inclusionary percent of housing but look at the percentage of ami at 55 percent of ami is good having inclusionary housing at 90 e.r. 80 percent ami is not good and that's not the inclusionary that 12 percent go onsite the 15 percent is a low new i know that supervisor jane kim has done better we can be more inclusionary and have more inclusionary housing with a lower ami cut off no more than 50 percent of ami that helps not only the middle-income but the middle-income poor people are left out of the ami inflation but people that are working class might have a chance we have a housing trust fund a quarter of a million dollars that is unsent come on time to realize release those inform people that fall to the introduce extremely low income and also figure out the expense for a system that supports those additional people moving into the city with all united states new construction i know that supervisor calls for transformation li

avalos campos kim and mar voted no. >> those amendments pass supervisor avalos >> i motion to duplicate the file and >> you can just make a request to duplicate the file >> i'm requested to duplicate the file. duplicate the file and one i would like to propose the amendment as whole and you have a copy of the amendment on your desk and let me read the amendment as a whole. rather than establishing police staffing levels we are establishing a multidisciplineary process for determining police staffing levels and then in the language of the resolution it says rez dugz establishing board of supervisor policy that police staffing levels will be adjusted through a multidisciplineitary process involving departments and stake holder and redue voou public policy best practice for evaluating police staffing levels. then i have other where as clauses i added to the resolution on page 2, top of page 2 line 1, the stucystics from the cam department of justice show between 194 and 2013 despite increase in population the overall number of crimes in san francisco have decreased with diviolent crime dec

amendment to the amendment inclusionary ordinance i want to urge full support the commissioner avalos kim ordinance to the inclusionary i think anything we can do to deaccelerate the widening gap between the hours that we produce and the housing that we lose is a good thing to do a couple of numbers just to throw out information was released by the department of human services 2 hundred and 36 thousand people are living at 2 hundred percent of the poverty level or blow 2 to $3,000 a year per capital income in noah valley is $17,000 a year per capital in bayview hunters point is $20,000 per year the per capital income in downtown is $24,000 a year everything that we should be about at this board should be about decreasing that gap and making sure that low income middle-income people of color are under assault are receiving the support and passing laws to make sure that developers have to respect the fact it is childcare workers and public school teachers and restaurant employees and nonprofit employees that city is about those are the people we need to represent on this body thank you (cla

with that said, you know, we really support the legislation by kim and avalos. we think it's kind of a no-brainer. like they should have to have some -- at least a small percentage of the units be affordable. this is the first hearing about the amendment by supervisor wiener. and without having gone through a process, i can say that we would definitely oppose that. we are quickly looking at it and 90% of ami would be market-rate. and that is already those folks are able to and are renting residential hotel rooms. that have gone up in price already. so there is really not a strong need for that level of housing. there is a strong need at the lower ends, at least below 55% and from our perspective, lower than that. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. hello again. my name is chi-dog, from the mission collaborative and dolores street community service, but speaking as a born and raised resident of the tenderloin. first of all, i want to thank supervisors kim and avalos for putting this forward. and we want to say yes to this legislation

units in ct districts april sands will be here later on to go over this ask supervisor avalos and supervisor kim's proposal and another colleague from mo cd to answer questions first to talk about the commissioner avalos and supervisor kim's ordinance currently there is a conflicting language in the planning code wards to the explore group housing project the color requirements apply to all housing requirements specifically group housing, however, another section of the planning code the explore requirements apply to buildings with that 10 or more units since group housing is measured by hours not unit so it is not having the explore group housing grounding group housing projects were supportive for housing and homeless shelters those would so been exempt hundred affordable units from the inclusion requirements recently the group housing project the department has received for reviewing mandatory private by the time suits is limited cooking families similar to market rate buildings highlighted the explore program this ordinance proposes that the explore requirement apply to projects not received t

supervisor kim. >> i don't know if supervisor avalos wants to go before me. >> sure. i think i found my place here. thank you. madame chair, thank you for calling this hearing on this legislation. and i want to also thank my co-sponsors to this, supervisor kim, who is also looking at this idea as well. this ordinance clarifies inclusionary housing program applies to group housing program. group housing is housesing that does not include an individual kitchen like a boarding house. the program is based on the fact that building more luxury housing increases the need for low-income workers and therefore, increases demand for affordable housing. the program has been designed to apply to a wide range of types of housing. the definition of "housing projects" subject to the inclusionary requirement has always explicitly included group housing. but at many point, the planning department made an unofficial determination that group housing was not subject to the inclusionary housing program. however, this determination was never formalized in a written zoning administrator det

thank you, supervisors avalos and kim for introducing this piece of legislation. it is much-needed and we hope that will you will recommend it to the full board for passage would you tell us the proposed amendments. the first amendment raising about income and whether it's an appropriate place for that kind of level? frankly, i would like to say that raising the ami level for group housing to 90% ami is quite ludicrous. if you take $60,000, which was quoted as the ami level, or the income level for someone at 90%, divided that by 12 for 12 months, divided by a third, you would be expected to pay $1777 a month for group housing situation. so if i could have the overhead slide, if possible? >> so you are saying fernando, you are saying that $1700 is unreasonable for group house that anybody should pay? >> what i have got on the slide? >> overhead, sfgovtv. >> down a little bit. what is the new panoramic, which is about to open micro units a little bit above that 90% level. if you want to share a house in nob hill it's just above 90% ami. just to say that is fine rig

avalos. supervisor kim >> i want to make comment because i sit on land use committee and we had a discussion of these 2 ordinances at committee and i actually understand the concerns supervisor avalos brought up. there were questions i had when i read the planning code amendments over the weekend. i will say a couple things, i do think the thereis a question that needs to be had on the board when we increase the number of units built on certain sites which this legislation does, but what is sth benefit and the cost and are we insurer there are befores to the community when we confur blfts on the developer. what made me feel comfortable at land use-i was worried about taking away the minimum square footage for units, a because i don't think micro units create more affordable housing. it duntz necessarily address the housing needs we need to see in the city. i know there is debate about this on the board. 2, that we confer a benefit by allowing more units to be built on the same unit. a couple things helped alleviate the concern, one the 40 percent requirement for 2 bedroom unit or more will be

will be hard to follow up on kim's eloquence i'm here to represent our organization and many of the constituents in the tenderloin and ask you to support supervisor avalos and supervisor kim's ordinances to include group housing we didn't think that wealthier people want to live if; however are the hoishgz this is a all of a sudden housing of people making up to hundred percent of ami are wells fargo to pay for it is important that the vendors that are building this type of hosing how's are including us in the mix we hope you'll agree this ordinance should be applicable to group housing in the tenderloin we have a lot of parking lot small and narrow and developers radio icing those for new projects in case it if make sense to build the full sized unit there's a project you're familiar with at tucker and las vegas worst and another project we've learned about potentially on turk street by mosser and i minimal we'll see more and more of those promotions their profitable and gastrothing to build on parking lot we want to make sure that the development in the tenderloin is done effectively addendum by supervisor christensen might be a good idea i fail to se

avalos. supervisor kim. >> thank you i want to thank supervisor avalos's office for their work on this as well as april [inaudible] from my office for her work. i want to add a couple words to the ordinance that is before us today and reitthrait points we made. again this is clarifying language back in 2002, the board of supervisors when they originally passed the affordable housing program they stated group housing developer would be part of this program provided onsite inclusionary housing or the in lieu off site fee. it only came to light recently as supervisor avalos mentioned, that the planning department interpreted this differently due to a variety of definitions arounds housing and dwelling units. we do expect group housing developers provide the same requirements that every other market rate developer in the city provides. we do know now that group housing has become lucrative in the hot real estate market and the reason this hadn't come before us prior is not a lot of group housing was built in san francisco because it wasn't always viewed as financially feasible. i want to thank the
