no ceqa review has been done. thank you very much. >> supervisor safai: to come back to the conversation of dynamic delivery. for the record, that is true. there hasn't been any environmental analysis done on this legislation. this is new information. so we're going to talk about that later in the meeting, regarding the environmental review officer in terms of the impact of this legislation. please proceed. >> i'm morris kelly, san francisco native and equity applicant, founder of s.f. roots. it should be clear that these amendments are one-sided. they're not coming to the interest of the applicant, but to the powers at be. for me personally, i see it as the only opportunity to create generational wealth in any family. this is why i'm concerned about decisions being made on my behalf that will hurt me. it was a slap in the face at the last hearing when a supervisor stated, "once we have a permit, we should be stable enough to be a general applicant." do you think if i had the money to be a general applicant i woul

that hearing will follow the final ceqa certification. in addition, there will be future opportunities to benefit on the project. i would like to make a few comments to facilitate the receipt of comments. the draft e.i.r. finds that the project or project variance even with mitigation would result insignificant, unaffordable impact. with respect to historic resources for the 3333 california street property transit capacity on the 43 route and construction noise. draft e.i.r. also finds that other significant impact of construction vibration and operational noise, human remains and tribal cultural resources, biological resources, can be mitt fwigat mitigated. there are six alternatives to the project to address significant and unavoidable impact. in addition to the no project alternative, the e.i.r. includes two preservation alternatives and two partial. and a code conforming alternative. details are in chapter im of the e.i.r. preservation was done by the historic preservation commission. with respect to the significant and unavoidable pr

can we make a motion to find a ceqa finding section to the document? president cohen? >> president cohen: i want to acknowledge that you duplicated the file, but we did not change the a.m.i. levels. >> supervisor safai: we will come back to the one that will good to the board. we haven't finished with the document yet. you want to remove that as well? >> president cohen: yes. it should be in both files. i suggest that you rescind the vote to unamend the request to duplicate the file and then amend the a.m.i. levels in the file and then you will have to go back and -- >> supervisor safai: what is your suggestion on the a.m.i.? where would you like to land on that? there was a conversation about 80% a.m.i. being either a requirement or just one of the items to be selected. so let's make a motion -- >> president cohen: that 80% is an option. >> supervisor safai: no income requirement at all? just a sole option? >> president cohen: correct. >> supervisor safai: as it was originally? got it. >> my understanding of what your plan a moment ago was to leave a version of the or

to authorize the reimbursement for tenant improvements for $410,000, 10-year term and approve the ceqa. >> supervisor safai: thank you. wanted to highlight what was discussed in budget committee. this is a special situation. this is not a $1-a-year lease opportunity with two local nonprofits. these are city-owned properties and these nonprofits as part of their agreement have made the commitment to raise well over $1 million each to rehab what was once community hospital as well as community art facility. those organizations are artspan, one of our premier nonprofit organizations that houses, encourages, fosters, develops, promotes the arts as well as artists in san francisco. they will be making this their flagship home in san francisco, as well as an existing nonprofit in the neighborhood with a free clinic offering healthcare services to the indigent and those without access to healthcare. both of these nonprofits have committed to do that. the city is putting in $400,000. the remaining $1.5 million or $1 million each will be raised. they will pay close to market rate and will have

ceqa resource as a california historic landmark. >> okay. and regarding the trees? >> the mature trees are one of the character-defining feature of the land scape. when they designed the landscape they did incorporate some of the trees from when it was part of the laurell hills cemetery. those would be incorporated as the character-defining features of the site. >> commissioner john, don't go yet. >> one of speakers said the trees were landmarked. is that true? >> i can't speak to the trees are landmark but maybe the idea of the california landmark which was the laurell hills cemetery. >> i will say, it's a little remarkable to me. i watched this thing being built -- i wasn't of a cemetery in those days and watched the world village being built. it's a site with which i'm very familiar and a site i sometimes have very much admired over the years and other times i thought was one of the most awful things got ever created. so tastes and times change. but still, it's such an important resource for to us have. it is a shame and an agree with i w

on the ceqa side, on your part, we've gone ahead and released all the public comments and responses to those public comments. on november 26 and the tgpa is taking action today. those actions include certifying the final environmental impact report, adopting the findings that go with the ceqa requirements, adopting and incorporating the mitigation measures, along with that, adopting the mitigation monitoring and reporting program that describes who's going to be responsible for implementing the mitigation measures when that is going to happen, how implementation is going to be verified. and then hopefully approving the project. the agencis that have been participating heavily in this -- and in leading the effort has been the transbay joint powers authority as a ceqa leave and the federal transit administration as the federal leave. because of the keen interest of the federal railroad administration in having high speed rail come into the transit center, they have been dubbed a cooperating agency and have been involved actively in all of the decisions and reviewed the documents througho

ceqa has to have a background somebody to everybody to read and see. the other thing which is of concern to me, although mr. aprogram stated this began a creation of the hub plan, i believe this project is concurrent with all other major projects that have been approved in the hub, the future building of the planning department and d.b.i. on the one side, the good street project and other projects such as the demolition of the union hall and other projects surrounding that needs to address a larger context. i do not believe we can afford having a robust plan for the hub that this building, which we knew would disappear when we started talking about the hub, except we never knew this project was already happening, each answers some very -- needs answered some very important questions, the harmonious massing of buildings with each other, the treatments of driveways and sidewalks. i think they spoke of moving people to a very difficult intersection in a more harmonious way, given what we' we're adding to the heart of downtown. so i believe this e.i.r. wou

while they provide environmental impact reports they do not provide services compliant with ceqa. we scored the proposals based on the points in the slide. our planner and the former deputy city attorney and the port'port's operating officer b. on october 18th the proposal deadline we received theory responses four the r.f.p. they met the minimum qualifications. the final rankings are on the slide. each panelist scoreid it at each phase. environmental science won with a score of 94 out of 100. on august 17 we issued notice of intent to award a contract to the most qualified firm. no protests were received during the five-day protest period. the contract monitoring division sets l.b.e. subcontracting goal also based on the scope of work and number of small local businesses to perform the work. the l.b.e. goal is 18%. esa will subcontract 25% of the work to small businesses. l.b.e.s make up all subcontractor and five firms are women or minority owned firms. the low number available to provide the services. we asked all three how they plan to mentor and support smaller firm to build

i notice that there were only three pages referencing that when in fact as part of the ceqa process, there's this great report prepared by swca. i don't know why it was so abbreviated. i understand the document's already 700 pages long, but you know what? we know there's going to be traffic. what we don't know is the history of the project. now, i'd also like to

brewster street extension consisting on improvements on brewster and martin to public use and affirm ceqa. >> president cohen: same house, same call? excellent. next item. >> clerk: item 4, ordinance to amend the building code to modify the penalty for constructing impervious surface in the front yard. same house, same call? we have supervisor safai. >> supervisor safai: thank you. i wanted to highlight the importance of this. we have department of building inspection to work with the planning department dealing with those that may violate the front yard setback process. it people are paving over the front yard, it comes to the building department. in our part of town, a significant number of residents have gone above and beyond the allowable percentages. we wanted to have an additional layer and still it will be a response system based on complai complaint, but also the ability of the inspectors to highlight this and look for it in the process of looking for other violations. we feel it's important. it feels with environmental goals but also deals with the greening we're trying to do in

amend the planning code to eliminate minimum offstreet parking requirements citywide to affirm the ceqand findings determination. >> president cohen: supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim: i like seeing my colleagues add their names to the roster. this is very noncontroversial and i want to thank supervisors mandelman, peskin and brown, my co-sponsors. today san francisco has the opportunity to be the first major american city to remove minimum parking requirements following the examples of mexico city and hartford, connecticut. while removing the requirement, the legislation in no way removed the option of the parking. we're not removing the maximum parking requirement or prohibiting the parking. we're not requiring developers to build parking if they don't want to or if they want to build less than the minimum required. and what i've seen in the district that i represent where minimum parking requirements have been dealt away with is that developers continue to build parking as market demands. the city has been moving in this direction for decades and our planning code has many pathways f

enact and expedited, streamlined permit process for electric vehicle charging stations and affirm the ceqa and finding determination. >> president cohen: same house, same call? looks like we can. without objection, this ordinance is passed on the first reading. madam clerk, please call the next item. >> clerk: item 34, ordinance to amend the administrative code to dissolve the wage theft task force and re-authorize the committee on eye linement and extend their sunset date june 30, 2019. >> president cohen: same house, same call? without objection, this ordinance is passed on the first reading. next item. >> clerk: item 35, ordinance to amend the administrative code to require city employees to complete harassment prevention training annually. >> president cohen: colleagues, i have a few comments i would like to make on this important piece of legislation that addresses a serious issue at the workplace, harassment. in 2016 -- a 2016 study by the equal employment opportunity commission reported that workplace harassment is a consistent issue particularly sex-based harassment. we need greate

therefore, a cequa analysis is not being put together or a ceqa analysis is not determined and we're just going out and looking at a property and determining whether or not the property appears to be eligible for the california register. this pilot program is going to begin in 2019. we're going to monitor it very closely for the first six months and report back to both commissions on the success of the program, interest in the program from the public but also whether or not we need to adjust our fee schedule to accommodate this new application. at this point, we will be charging only time and materials for this work. so that concludes my report unless you have any questions. >> commissioner moore? >> mr. frye, i was copied on a letter where you were informed that the original house drawings were located at ucla. >> that is correct. >> could you share that, please, with this commission? >> yes. i can't recall if it's his son or grandson raymond, contacted us to let us know where exact little they believe the largent house plans are located in the ucla archives. so once the planner eng

>> victoria wang, city deputy attorney i want to make a comment on ceqa does not require every possible alternative be presented but reasonable alternatives are presented. i wanted to clarify that for the commission. >> the question is whether alternative c could be adequate. we could make that statement. >> it would be improved to meet more objectives by providing additional housing. >> one other offer to the planning commission and we've been in conversation with how we are two commissions can communicate better on projects specifically on this one because they're not in articles 10 and 11. and one way we can put it into their hands is to offer the next phase of the final e.i.r. or whatever point in that process the new proposed process can come back to the i.r.c. that's something they could ask and we can offer as something to be done. we could have more involvement in the development of this. >> a return? >> the suggestion is we say if asked we'd welcome the participation and the ability to give guidance. >> if there's no further comments i think we can move upon >> thank you, every

later on, there was a fight about ceqa reform and we all went to jane. it was very esoteric, technical stuff. and jane jumped in when jane gets on to something, she was on to it. and that's where we started solidifying our relationship. later on when the balance of the board was at stake, jane encouraged me to come out of my peaceful, lovely, travel-filled retirement and she not only got me back in but gave me great volunteers who you heard from time from the tenderloin, who were remarkable at some point, she said, hey, you need a campaign manager from the community and with her permission, i asked sonny angulo, who said no, but after sufficient begging came, and the rest of that is history, but thank you for sonny. and then i asked sonny to be my chief of staff. and then she said no, but after sufficient begging. before i go too long, our offices are kind of like one office. we referred to ourselves as district 36 or 63. that's not just my relationship with jane, but ivy, or april or april -- bobby lopez. it's just been a remarkable. your office is the
