building and photo on the right what the proposed building about look like personally there's 9 units 5 are one bedrooms and 4 are studio units we're proposing to planning staff they've asked you to us replace the windows facing the street to clean up the facade and we're proposing a variety of materials to help break up the mass this is the first floor plan exist on the left and the proposed on the right we're eliminating with only parking space to provide bicycle that concludes my remarks for the tenants and behind the garage on the right is the one bedroom unit that we added in 2013 this is the second and third floor no change other than correcting the stairway making it safe this light fourth floor plan we're proposing 3, one bedroom units from small 5 hunters pointed hundred 60 to 7 hundred square feet you'll notice there is a doted line towards the rear that matches the rear property line that is the setback requirement as you can see it is a tight site and again right up against the freeway this roof plan is the evaluation elevation i think this is the section you see the taller section to the ri

units. two bedrooms, freedoms, even for bedrooms. at 150% ami. again, for family of four is micro gross income of $150,000 or so. so in hybrid markets for those with larger family units, we don't want to penalize a family that can't compete in the marketplace for that three-bedroom units. just the way 120% household can't compete in the market place for that units. so, we do want to offer some flexibility for middle income families who we want to help stay in the city. so, there's a very narrow band that would go up to 150% of ami. everything else will be 120 envelope >> very narrow band. up to 150. >> again were proposing that for the middle income rental program you could go to 154 two and three bedroom and larger units. if you're if you can demonstrate the rental market within which the housing is built is -- has a much higher market rate than 150. >> i think you just mentioned the goal would be about $29 to this rental program. just to compare, what is new york city's program was much do they allocate for their program? >> well, a lot more. >>

a couple things helped alleviate the concern, one the 40 percent requirement for 2 bedroom unit or more will be kept in place insureing it is not just 150-354 feet that can be built and profit from. as we think about what is means to raise affordability we are limited in being able to do this outside a area plan so when we do a change to a [inaudible] that doesn't allow us given the current conditions of the charter to increase affordability just by increasing this benefit. that being said i think for visor avalos raising a good long term question as we continue to make these amendments in the planning code and should thij long term to set consistent policy on balancing benefit tooz the developers and benefits to the community as well. i think we should to work on this. i know we are having a discussion about the implication of the housing trust fund met. in 2012 given the economic conditions we are seeing, but i will see supporting these 2 amendments moving forward today >> thank you supervisor kim. supervisor wiener >> i'm supporting both pieces of legislation today. i think the idea

, two and three bedroom units, having affordability gap of two 150% of ami. so, we like to be apply those funds for family, large family units in the highest markets that we have in the city. finally, we do have some expiring rental units that could convert to market. we want to prevent that from happening. that is approximately $80 million in total for the middle income rental program. so, our grand total for the bond proceeds is three and one $10 million. it will be a high degree of accountability. we'll be reporting quarterly on our production goals to the board of supervisors. for every development we do we have a census outreach requirement an obligation. we go through the citywide loan committee for every loan that we make. the board of supervisors, yourselves, does approve all bond issuances, which are part of the majority of the housing development that we fund. finally, i just wanted to illustrate some of the great housing that come online recently. as examples of what we plan to do with this new housing bond. we've got the housin

was the eliminations of the floor plan due to the celebrate and the increase in size for the 4 bedroom units they've over 3 hundred square feet and the possibility they modest having might have two bathdz and they're going to be using a reflective material for the improvement of the lightwell. >> okay. thank you question for the city attorney since the project sponsor volunteered to included the inclusionary can we put that in our motion or finding the developer as voluntarily agreed to that you. >> kate stacey from the city attorney's office from the commission wanted to include that condition in this project we first would like the commission to said that it would only apply to this project so those kinds of conditions the commission needs to think hard about and we will recommend adding in a few finding to explain that condition and also think that there is some need to think about basil_hawkins or other mechanism we recommend the commission adapt a recommendation of intent so work with staff and look at those issues for this project. >> okay. thank you. >> other thought prior to this i c

available for people macro up to hundred 50 percent rental rooiblth restricting it to two and three bedroom units but this is going to be a requirement are part of legislation i don't see how this can be included due to prop c didn't we limit the amount of inclusionary that one could charge those were voluntary inclusionary that came with the cost of hacking kins or the project sponsor. >> this is a volunteery program if we want to provide the affordable housing it is accountable affordable to hundred and 50 percent ami and the code is making adjustments to say it is not a mandatory program. >> what benefit do they get by doing this voluntary is it a density bonus. >> the units will not count towards their s n r calculations. >> that's the good thing i like the whole idea but not sure we want to do that with density there's a density that is what question decide is correct for a certain area if we ma'am misses that density and maximize that more because you're adding inclusionary units we're going beyond what we believe is the proper density i like the rest of the legislation it make sense yeah d

time that has come ero over and over we know of a number of cases landlord that adding bedrooms to existing units making 4 and 5 bedrooms we need more apartment we looking at density limits throughout the district that is a good start and small step we can make towards making our neighborhoods affordable so we very much appreciate your support thank you. >> thanks supervisors so i'm going to continue with my presentation currently san francisco currently san francisco allows adu's within one thousand 7 hundred square feet plus in the castro and undergoing the mandatory - as supervisor wiener mentioned adu's are additional units to residential believes that are and they're limited to be built within the administrative waiver for some of the planning code requirements because of rear yard and open space and parking and rent controlled this - staff supports the audience as a strategy and supports the two proposals for expanding where adu's are allowed adu's within the existing residential is a pragmatic strategy to create for housing this housing will allow more use of land within our existing resid

instead of only 20 years they'll make the rent units hundred 20 percent of ami rather than overflow room and require the bonus to be towards the bedrooms so that it will serve the middle-income larger household size and it will subject all those bonus unit to the inclusionary procedures in terms of pricing and the cost of the hawkins exemption agreement interest staff supports those recommendations and recommendations a small modifications to clarify those bonus unit will still be subject to infrastructure and any other infrastructure impact fees that concludes my presentation. i'm going to turn it over to april to get over himself. >> good afternoon commissioner my name is april legislative aide for supervisor kim supervisor kim a co-sponsor of the legislation before you today applying the inclusionary requirement to the group housing promotions that was sponsored and drafted by commissioner avalos i'm here to express her support for the amendments related to the inclusionary housing requirements to group housing and he think that i'll be brief because my colleague had a thorough report but the code clarifies the inclusionary definiti
