>> density has two parts, people density and actual building density. don't favor increasing building density in the sunset for a number of reasons. first of all, the issue is about supply and demand. there is far more demand than there is supply, but that's really a lie because there are estimated to be at least 40,000 units being held off unit by landlords who are afraid to rent to tenants all across san francisco. and in the sunset district, it's estimated to be about 10 to 15,000 units. so i say look at existing supply before we build, and i don't think that building on transit corridors is a great idea for the simple reason that while noriega street is a transit corridor today and could be built up under these grand plans, next year, it could be moraga street. thank you. >> thank you very much. the next question, i'll begin with mr. mar, and again i'm going to compound the question. one of the questions was district four is primarily residential, in which many families try to raise arththei children. what's your vision for improving life for distri

s unfair density deregulation giveaway. supervisor london breed always ensured that the fillmore district was included once she began efforts to re[inaudible] deregulation. we ask that the -- [microphone cut] >> thank you very much. i think there is a question. sir? >> mr. hard then daz e. were you at the meeting on thursday? >> i couldn't make the meeting. >> so, you don't know what i read and what i discussed. in detail yourself. >> could i -- i mean, we didn't see the details until this weekend -- >> so, members of your board and asna was there, your members of your community were there and also members of affordable divisadero was there, correct? >> correct. >> and they heard that the numbers of the breakdown -- because i did talk about the breakdown of the a.m.i.s. >> so, we -- for the first time we've seen the legislation -- >> no, you were saying that i didn't mention it at the meeting, mr. hear than dez. i did not discuss it and i'm asking you were you at the meeting -- >> i was not at the meeting. >> ok. thank you.

more substantial changes, such as a larger building massing or adding density that the density bonus may allow, would require a new application and would bring projects up to the current inclusionary rates. after this discussion, the planning commission approved the resolution to recommend the board adopt the proposed ordinance and i am available for questions. that concludes my presentation. thank you. >> thank you, very much. >> this time we have questions from supervisor kim. >> thank you. and either member of the planning department can answer this question. so, as the primary sponsor of the original ordinance that came to the planning commission and the full board, and i know it came to land use committee on april 25th, 2016. i don't know the ex act date that it went to the planning commission. did any member of the department or any commissioners bring up the point you are bringing up today? >> i don't believe so, no. >> if this is such an obvious issue, why wasn't it brought up earlier. >> the planning commission and board did discuss what the sunsetting provisions should be f

it's one that usually results in less density. this is a small site that i think you get about nine units on maximum. with today's construction cost environment, neither option is really viable for a site this small, and without a c.e.u. for the grocery store removal, during, you know, the five years it takes to go from design concept to actually doing construction on a site, you have another five years of vacancy, because there is no c.u. to remove the grocery store use. i think you have a strong record of support from people in the neighborhood, who really want to see this building reused sooner rather than later, and they correctly see that more vacancy is just more of a detriment to this neighborhood and to the neighborhood shopping environment, so i would, you know, i would ask that you consider that when you consider whether to grant the c.u. today. thank you. >> president hillis: commissioner richards? >> commissioner richards: i move to approve with a recommendation that the project sponsor explore housing in any way, shap

so if we take them out of the grandfathered bucket, they have to use the current rates to use density bonus. is that correct? yes. >> supervisor safai: okay. supervisor kim, i'm sorry. >> supervisor tang: supervisor kim. >> supervisor kim: i was going to answer any questions on that. >> supervisor safai: no, my only point was that the difference is three units on that project from today's rate to the rate that i see that was negotiated based on the previous, so i was interested to hear from the project sponsors, if that would -- how that would impact their pro forma, and if there was a different counterproposal. and same with 262 7th street. i understand why you would initially say or you would want necessarily that they have had had -- they have not even received their planning commission hearing. it sounds like for 111 turk that they have been caught up in some historic preservation issues, which can add significant amount of time. that seems like a legitimate request, but then to then have the clock run out on them based on the planning and environmental review seems a little bit h

we are asking for the board to exempt this mission due to the hyper density dumping without planning and using the mission as a district to comply with the statehousing element. i've been in the city and it doesn't seem -- [ please stand by ] -- developers have refused to build what the voters of san francisco have demanded and there's no point in rewarding this. contrary to what people have said up here, we already know that there's a need for additional affordable housing. we already know that the developers have been making massive profits from this housing crisis. and all of this legislation does is to help maintain those profits. the messaging of losing thousands of units because they refuse to build between 5% and 10% more affordable on-site is false. the legislation is exactly what we think that it is. it's a favor for the market developers who banked on this extension coming up to you and getting passed, a reduction in necessary affordable housing units and a betrayal by the mayor london breed to the voters of san francisco. apparently the mayor and the city staff seated behi

we have projects that come and try to use the state density bonus and others may have additional density that they would like to incorporate that the zoning code would allow as a right to. some projects may be modified in their massing or they may make changes to the project after approval. on a project by project basis we would evaluate if that was substantial enough either to trigger a new project entitlement or a new project application or substantial enough to require a new commitment. that does require that component , it does have to come back to the commission for review. that is an established policy since 2013. >> with these projects have to, somehow get calendar before december 7th? >> probably. >> otherwise, say someone wanted to pay the in lieu fee regardless of the deadline, wanted to pay the fee rather than build the units on sight and they came to us after december 7th, what they have to pay higher in lieu fee you squeeze. >> that is a good question. >> the december 7th expiration date is very specific to the on-site right map -- rate but we will double, that. >> i'm just

as you start to see more projects applying the state density bonus, i think it behooves you to open up and see what is the amount of inclusionary that all of these projects can deliver because they're getting a big boon by increasing their development. thank you very much. >> president hillis: thank you. any additional public comment? seeing none, we'll close public comment. commissioners? commissioner cloe commissioner koppel. >> i am not in support of disapproving. >> president hillis: commissioner johnson? >> commissioner johnson: first off, i want to thank lisa and the department. coming out of the last hearing, as some of the commenters shared, i think, you know, the board of supervisors had a concern around shadow on these two neighborhood schools. we had a concern, and some of the numbers, while not significant from a ceqa finding, i think we felt needed to be looked again to really, again, bridge that gap that i talked about in my last comments between the code as it stands and the real impacts that people feel every day. and i think what we're hearing from or what we've heard

it's not only the most percity, that's the most in raid share density. 60% of t.n.c. users in large cities would have taken public transportation, walked, biked or not made the trip had t.n.c.'s not been available for this trip. finally, they put 2.8 new t.n.c. vehicle miles on the road for each mile of personal vehicle moved, an overall 180% increase in driving on city streets. this project, along with the beast on bryant, is going to contribute -- is already going to significantly contribute to what we already have as a problem in traffic congestion, yet it's also a safety problem. earlier this year, supervisor ronen met personally with uber and lyft who acknowledged that the problem of crowding and traffic congestion was a problem on valencia street. and it wasn't just traffic, it was a matter of safety. >> they are analyzing from a study done in 1980. it corrects to the impacts with 60 new absolute majority which will be high income. adequate analysts of noise, air quality, greenhouse gases, emissions, emergency vehicle, access, pedestrian and bike safety are all

and in the context of up and live ing its social density on the one hand social density overcrowding on the one hand and social isolation and loneliness on the other hand if if if these two stressors come together at the same time. that the mixture of may become health relevant and toxic but it's not like a virus not like the flu that you move into the city and suddenly bang you feel very stressed out it's small slowly. but a source of stress is is a stress that is not really recognized at any time it's a very mild form of stress but rather. puts our health in danger on the long run. if we are exposed to social stress over months and years then the result may become a mental disease but i know a lot of people who say well brilliant for instance is the place to be it's a vivid city there are a lot of opportunities and on the other hand the city makes me sick so this is very ambivalent isn't it. still my key message is that cities are good places for us because. they offer a variety of advantages they offer better access to education to individual development to wealth to sanitation to

density applied in the mission versus the marina. it has different impacts and it's a different way of looking at the social build an environment and at the economic fabric of the corridor. so i think that in finding a nuanced balance between density and equity and community benefits to community -- communities who have long been redlined and disinvest it, we need to look at both. i wanted to add that to the request. i think the department has done some really great work around gentrification patterns and the things that are going on over time in san francisco neighborhoods. i think we should put it to use. thank you. >> thanks. >> that will place us under the regular calendar five and six. an amendment to the inclusionary housing ordinance. this is a finding code amendment >> good afternoon commissioners. before you today is a proposed ordinance to amend the inclusionary affordable housing program to extend the permitting timeline for projects with lower legacy inclusionary rates. i have distributed projects for your reference. this

knowing this project would be unlikely to meet the deadline, it has converted to state density bonus using a 16.4 on-site inclusionary housing rate. together these projects will create 227 units, at least 33 of which are b.m.r.s. you'll hear more individual project stories today, and i hope you'll consider our compromised amendments and spending additional time for projects not entitled. we want to do everything we can to give all projects a fair amount of time to get through the process. while we do everything we can to improve this process. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much for sharing that information, and we are now joined by supervisor peskin. did you want to comment on this item, as well? not yet, okay. supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim: first of all, i just want to thank the mayor's office for working with my office and supervisor peskin on coming to compromise that we can all agree with, that would ensure that these development projects that were grandfathered in have a chance or opportunity to build the housing that our city sorely needs, but ensuring that w

>> do you want to answer on the density? >> i was just making a comment. thank you for offering. >> did you want to make a motion >> make a motion to approve the project with a caveat that the department spends more time on looking at property line windows , looks at the proper sizing of rooftop equipment as it will change what the roof looks like and where the equipment will be, and pays attention to a depiction of the structural elements that may affect the unit layout and the quality of rooms. >> second. >> very good, commissioners. if there is nothing further, there is a motion that has been seconded to approve this matter with conditions as amended to require the project sponsor to continue working with staff to improve the property line windows, the rooftop apartments and structural elements that may improve the interior spaces of the individual units. on that motion. [roll call] >> you said improve. affect the units. >> so effect, not necessarily improve the interior layouts. on that motion. [roll call] so moved. that motion passes unanimously 5 -0.

housing and density would help the corridor. so i just, again, feel disappointed that we are being put in this position where i think we could have had a win-win solution in having housing and having some type of neighborhood serving business. i would fully support looking at a special use district if we could get housing density on it. but as i see the proposal here and i don't see a real effort to come back that serves the needs of the city. and from the drug shop and this project in terms of acquisitions, price per square foot to build and what the yield would be. do you have comment on that? the reason why i am asking this is the last page of the presentation -- i have a lot more comments, too. and the last page hit home with me. and after the condition denied the chipolte to go in on the market t land was developed with 62 units of housing. i was on the other side of the dais here advocating that this low, one-story site that used to be a home restaurant not be allowed to be that because the neighborhood looked it, but now

and the shrew spine and the back of its skull i'm most affected by the seasonal loss in bone density. and maybe this research on shoes could give us clues about how to treat human osteoporosis. to do that scientists have to study the inside of the shrews bones more closely. through the first plaster native by soaking them for weeks in a transparent plastic substance and then sectioned into millimeter thin slices the bone specialist analyzed the sections painstakingly under the microscope. their conclusion last year cites cells within the bones are what controls the shrinking or growth of the shrew skeleton when winter comes they trigger the release of minerals from the bones the result can be clearly identified along the sutures of the skull where a gap can now be seen by some or it is disappeared again the osteo sites have restored the minerals in the bone and they have also if we find out how it's all controlled and can intervene in these processes using certain substances that would be really great and it's something exciting to look forward to in the future. will humans one day be

bonus fees may require some noticing and possibly rereferral. >> the density bonus proposal, if you make that amendment next week, would require rereferral to planning and probably require noticing before it comes back to land use. those procedural questions we can address next week when the board is considering those amendments. this week we'll work with you on drafting them. >> thank you, for that commitment. with that colleagues he we have a motion to continue this item for one week. >> so moved. >> we can do that without objection. thank you, everyone. we're just going to call up item 7 really quick. there is a plan to continue it so for those items 5 and 6 do not panic. item 7, please. >> item 7 is a resolution urging support of state water board proposed updates to the 2016 bay delta plan. >> thank you, supervisor peskin. >> thank you chair tang and thank you for your offices' winness to schedule this for today. apparently the public utilities commission was not able to testify today, although i did see the general manager and assistant general manager walking down the hallway

currently they talk about density and we're going to amend that to include the flavored tobacco ban and improve our explanation about density and become transparent about the whole tobacco licensing process. the final point i would like to make, it's dynamic. if we find we need to add more time based on the feedback we're getting from retailers, we'll extend out our project plan timeline. so i would like to conclude with just providing some more information about the listening sessions, because we just finalized the dates and i would like to publicly share the date. the listening session is to allowed the department of public health and the department of workforce development to hear from the retailers about challenges and concerns they have that can improve their experience as being our customers. so we have four listening sessions scheduled. wednesday -- i have the dates here. so the listening sessions, wednesday september 26. monday october 1, from 6-8 at the st. mary's rec center, this is on murray and justin. we have one thursday, october 4, 6-8 which is the southeast community cen
