as you know, the city has adopted numerous plans over the last decade to add 100,0100,000 of housing. supervisor kim mentioned, this one area based on proximity to transit and the downtown, is probably the one place left in the city where it is responsible to sustainable continue to add job capacity from a local and regional standpoint. this plan also meshes well and supports the visions of planned bay area and the region's obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the chief way is by locating jobs near good transportation. but within that context, we're primarily concentrating commercial growth on a few large sites in the area, and the balance of the hundreds or thousands of parcels in the area will be residential and we're doing what we can to maximize housing in this area. we're continuing to work city-wide. i would add that even with the build-out of the plan, with the numbers it has, the city combined with all the other plans that have been adopted over the last number of years, will have a more housing favorable jobs-housing balance than it has currently. so we have been

affordable housing, i believe the city -- family housing, i believe the city lacks a definition of what a family is, and i'm not talking about the tradition or nontradition definition of family, but i believe it has something to do with the sizing of units, acceptable square footage, precision of certain kinds of rooms. we unfortunately have -- we do not have size limits for family housing, and i think that is a big detriment because we have instances where large family housing is occupied as group housing, where large family housing is occupied by a single individual with a large basketball court and talks about family. we have all kinds of abnormalities of the definition of family housing, so we need to configure that. >> supervisor yee: i'm sorry to break-in, but i probably didn't make myself super clear then. what i meant is family -- family with children housing. families -- housing for families that have children. >> commissioner moore: everything i said, supervisor yee, could add the word family with children to what i was saying. we're not looking at the layout of rooms, we're n

this affects different policy areas and priorities, including housing, transportation, safety, and schools. and the quality of life in this city. intrinsic to policy areas, especially housing and safety is also, i believe, open space is crucial to the synergy between housing and our open space. what we know is that the city continues to grow. the question for all of us, how do we ensure that our park system adapts and embraces this growth? we're going to be making some decisions in the near future that help to shape the future that mayor breed is talking about in this quote. before i talk about opportunities, i think i want to talk about challenges that we've had. this slide shows an immediate challenge that we are facing during this period. in the last couple of years, as you are aware, this is a very, very hot market for contractors and construction. prices continue to grow. contractors are picking the work that they're going to do. and they're not talking a -- taking a lot of risk. prices continue to rise, with new, sort of, immediate levelling in sight. when you see these escalations, it means less park. when you see a 20%

office has especially felt that a.d.u.s has been a great way to add affordable housing in our city's housingtock. the most affordable, should be the easiest, but since the legalization program has taken place, we've found and heard that many sponsors are hesitant to create or legalize existing accessory dwelling units or there are hiccups that they encounter over the process if they're in the process of legalization. after listening to people and groups in terms of challenges that they encountered, planning staff worked with my office and i want to thank the planning department for their work on this. but over the course of time, we've tried to identify what the barriers are >> i will go through them one by one. so first, to allow expansion of a.d.u.s within the buildable envelope. currently, for most of the a.d.u.s, most of the a.d.u.s have to be in the envelope and it would allow expansion within the buildable envelope. the second amendment is a very -- it's a qualification amendment related to an existing amendment in the ordinance that would allow expansion of a.d.u.s without neighbor no

the city allocates millions of dollar to create this housing, but when the projects are moving forward through the city system they are thrown in a mix. the two sets of executive directors we focused on. one was in 2013 there was an executive directive to give priority to affordable housing. in 2017 a subsequent directive to streamline all large residential projects affordable or not diluting the intent of the previous directive. the board has recently passed the former mayor's legislation to streamline. ocd is leading the construction cost containment discussions and implementation of the directive. this comments those by focusing on affordable housing specifically. what the legislation does is very straight forward and simple to direct five city departments to give absolute priorities to 100% affordable housing development, second, it requires each department to designate a person to shepard the projects through the process, to tract those and third to require the board receive a quarterly update. that allows the board to keep an eye on the projects and for the public to inform if ho

the city sold everything in this house in 1870 and turned it into a school. this was a school for 20 years. that is when it suffered damage. not during the war, u.s. army occupation, but a school. the city wanted to tear it down being a years after school. it was saved by demolition by a group of women in town. a group originally formed as a hollywood memorial association preserving federal grace in hollywood cemetery's. these ladies reformed into the confederate memorial literary society. they took over the house. they fixed it up. they opened this building as a museum in 1896. then. not look like this in 1896 when this open, it was the confederate museum. you walked around, each room was dedicated to a southern state and you had artifacts related to the state. in 1976, the main museum -- this was shut down for extensive restoration. this is a restored -- is a historic home. hassame group of people owned it since the 1890's. the second floor of this house was private living space. this house is no exception. and children lived on the second floor. the second

housing in san francisco, we've built almost no housing for those people in san francisco for about 30 years. and so when we think about the people who make our city go, teachers, firefighters, e.m.t.'s, those people, this type of project, where we actually have the ladder housing for people authorize low-income and people that are middle-income, these types of projects are phenomenal. i want to emphasize the importance of this being approved today, because as mr. stewart said, not only does it have to go to this commission, it also has to go to the board of supervisors, and the board of supervisors goes on recess in august. so if this does not get to the board of supervisors in a timely period, we are talking about incredible amount of delays. and with delays come additional financing costs, incurring the costs of money for these types of giant projects are very, very high. this is a great project. this is the 26th, i think, presentation. there's going to be, you know, a couple of more to the public. the outreach has been phenomenal. bridge and john stewart and company are great companies. they know how to do this work. they've been doing it real
