just to reiterate this ordinance this pair of ordinances is essential 3 things it amends the criteria for the processes associated with the loss of dwelling units and consolidates rope at the with the loss of unit by moving all the elevation to the planning code and lastly it created a new opportunity to expand the non-legal unit currently they can't be expanded in a way that increases the notary republic enforcement arrest the planning commission considered those ordinances a number of times and supported the opportunity to alternate non-conforming units at the september hearing and the board passed the resolution with a of one vote with a approval of the draft and the commissioner considered the 345e789s to the processes associated with doogsz and conversion on accountability 24th and passed a resolution again with a 6, one vote and that included the representations that the owner move ins be considered differently than ellis evictions. so the ordinance prohibit the immersion as long as that evocation took place after october 24th. sxhooeflz gave you a lot of information i'm availab

thank you. >> on the -- with respect to the title of the ordinance, or our response to the ordinance and our handling of the ordinances, i think the titles are fine. i don't know if any other commissioners have thoughts. my view is that we do handle some sunshine complaints directly. we handle some that the task force would have made a determination on, but ultimately i think the regulations are clear and the title accurately reflects more or less what we're trying to do with them. thoughts? >> i agree. i mean, i suppose we could say ethics commission regulations for complaints made under the sunshine ordinance, but i think violations is fine too. either way. i think it's fine. >> any other thoughts? does the city attorney have any view on that? >> john givener deputy city attorney. your current titles are fine from a legal perspective, the proposed title is fine from the legal perspective. the one thing i would say that you shouldn't amend any portion of the sunshine enforcement by enforcement regulations tonight because that is not on your agenda. >> mr. st. croix, can you respond

a residential dnc ordinance, residential dnc ordinance adz not apply to residential hotel. demolition conversion of residential hotel is already governed by admin code chapter 41. this amendment is in two places in the residential dnc ordinance. the first reference is at page 7 line 13. it reads residential conversion, the new residential conversion shall mean that removal of cooking facilities in residential unit or change of the occupancy as defined and regulated by the building code or the change of use as defined and regulated by the planning code of any residential use or live/work unit to a unit residential and we're taking out the next line which reads, this definition shall not apply to conversions of residential hotels as defined and regulated in chapter 41 of the san francisco administrative code. the change of occupancy from a dwelling unit group housing or sro to student housing is also considered a conversion of a residential unit, notwithstanding the foregoing change of use or occupancy of dual unit group housing or sro to student housing is not considered a c

she work on the transit first parts of the ordinance. and i'll explain more about that as we go through. first, just generally, what hacto is and it's an acronym that not many people were familiar with, frankly until fairly recently. the healthy air and clean transportation ordinance, is what the acronym stands for, it and similarly named but little bit differently named versions of the ordinance have been in effect since the early 1990s and it has long been the main -- the platform, the policy tool by which the city has worked on bringing its fleet of vehicles. in 2010 there were some significant amendments to it and it took on its current name of hacto. primarily some of the bigger changes was it did add a component about transit first and also the whole concept of fleet reduction. i'll mention a bit more about that in a minute. one important thing to realize about hacto is that the way it was established is enacted by the board of supervisors. it applies to light duty vehicles within the fleet. so, it's not the entire fleet of vehicle

government's cooperation with the ordinance. and the f.b.i. is familiar with our department's policy and procedures, specifically, san francisco police department guidelines for first amendment activities which is governed by 8.10. the general operator, on operations, and the ordinance and they are aware that members of the san francisco police department must comply with the provisions contained there in. >> the members of the san francisco department are subject to these guidelines, in any circumstances where sfpd policy is more restrictive than f.b.i. policy and sfpd officers have and will continue to comply with the policy. and 4 a. including whether the ordinance has imp inged the ability for the department to receive terrorism related information from the federal government. i am not aware of the ordinance impinging on any ability of the san francisco list department to receive terrorism related information and however it is possible. 4 b, whether it is the federal government has been cooperative in the san francisco polic

is that your opinion it's inconsistent and better in the proponent's ordinance and the ordinance. my concern like he said is nobody is going to read it. >> yeah, john gibner again. any directive to the committee about what should be in the digest coming from the board is inconsistent with past practice. the board legally has the authority to constrain the ballot simplification committee's digest by adopting an ordinance but it's not consistent with any history. >> okay. so in terms of articulating this in the proponents argument is there anything that we should do to lock it in and action or something we're going to write together with a proponent as we agree upon later? >> there is nothing to do today. once the board places the measure on the ballot the clerk will agendize the proponents argument, discussion for a meeting. >> colleagues my suggestion is this i would like it to appear as high up as possible and my suggestion is to reference the 10 year capital plan but i don't want to be consistent or -- with the relationship with the ballot simplification committee and my recomme

i am here to speak in favor of the fair chance ordinance. as a member of the coalition working on the ordinance, i have been in charge of our change.org petition which to date has over 500 signatures and that is in addition to the 1700 that community housing partnership has collected. and i have copies of those [speaker not understood] for you. >> you can hand that to the clerk. >>> and also many people have commented on our [speaker not understood] stating why they support the petition. paul ruckus wrote this is important because incarceration should end when a prison sentence ends. do the crime, do the time, and that's that. these disclosures prevent people from reintegrating and moving on in society. indeed exasperating recidivism and the cycle of incarceration. [speaker not understood] from san francisco wrote, people deserve second chances to live productive live. that can't happen if there is a bias built into every interview process. this levels the playing field and gives a quail [speaker not understood]. last rebecca from san franci

they don't need to do anything further with us. ~ to comply with the ordinance. if the commercial property owner, owners would like to prescribe access or designated route to either the bike parking location or another area, they will have to submit a bicycle access plan. a bicycle access plan is an easy online form and it asks the property and manager to describe the route to the stairs, elevator, or designated bike parking area that the tenant should take their bikes. it also asks the property owner to tell us how they're going to communicate this access plan to the tenant. and once the form is submitted to us and the information is made clear to their tenants, the property owner/manager is complying with the ordinance and there is no further steps necessary for compliance. we're asking all the property owners and managers who wish to complete a bicycle access plan to do so by january 31st. commercial property owners and managers can also apply for an exception, but under two special circumstances. one is if their building's elevator is not available for bicycl

the other ordinance are to improve the administration of the fee. it is required the rate is at the time of the issuance of the first construction document which is consistent with other development impact fees charged by the city. currently the fee is calculated based on the rate of at the time of the issuance. this would apply the projects benefits owned by the city and projects with automotive services and materials and equipment. during the last update to transit impact development in 2012, the fees expanded to these land uses and provided a grandfathering period to allow sufficient time to adjust their capital plan. in summary, the department's ordinance to a more clear and efficient administration of the transit impact development and recommend an approval. i will be available. >> let's take public comment on this item. i have one speaker card. calvin welch. >> thank you, president wu. commissioners, i defy you to look at exhibit a and come to the conclusion that owners of the developments in mission bay that have an affordable housing obligat

it's called fair chance ordinance. it's also known as the band of blocks ordinance. and it's critical because when you consider that one in four residents in our state has an arrest [speaker not understood] history, that nets out thousands of individuals living in san francisco. and here we are in a time and era post ab 109, we've did got a disproportionate number of folks that are leaving the -- leaving incarceration and reentering into our city. so, today i am co-sponsoring with supervisor kim an opportunity to begin to relax the barriers to fair housing and access to fair jobs and i will leave the rest to supervisor kim. thank you. >> supervisor farrell? supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim? >> i am also going to speak about the same legislation which supervisor cohen and i are co-sponsoring today. really, really excited to finally introduce this legislation. it has been on the docket since january of this year. so, our offices have been working on this for the last 12 months. many of you are already familiar with band the box because the city and county has institut

and we are also here to support the fair chance ordinance. we started a project a little over a year ago that in collaboration with [speaker not understood] advocates, a number of groups called the black priorities project and we conducted a bunch of listening sessions all over the bay area. many of them in san francisco and the top three issues that came out of those were housing, employment, and criminalization as the number one causes that were leading to the displacement of african-american families. we're excited about the fair chance ordinance is that it links all those issues, removes some of the really critical structural barriers that are impacting our communities. it still is elusive when you don't get hired for a job so i think all the enforement pieces that are in here are critical. they're going to still be difficult to up lift. we're excited about that. and we thank the leadership of supervisor kim. we hear there is possibly unanimous support for that. that's very exciting. and i think the next step might be to look at policies

to apply comply with the ordinances but also section 317. tackle for example, c pmc they had to get approval under the residential hotel for the residential hotel buildings. under the section planning code none would apply to in a lot of those circumstances the even though hotel honors has thirty years of interpretation if we include residential hotel in this ordinance it will work at the cross-purposes for the residential hotel. in all circumstances when you have a residential demolition are conversion with the commission approval it's required anyway so thank you >> thank you very much. >> thank you. i'm with the san francisco apartment association. thanks to tom and other members for reaching out to us on both of those pieces of legislation. i know that some of them have been pending and thank you supervisor avalos for listening to some of our concerned about fine tuning the legislation. we have some outstanding things about october 24th. it's our general belief that a law some be specific whether signed into law and unintentionally punis

one was the general plan ordinance to incorporate parcels left out of previous rezoning and second ordinanceould adjust the zoning map. this commission approved these two ordinances unanimously on october 10th with a minor modification. since then supervisor kim has sponsored the legislation and amended the recommendation. there was no public comment at the hearing and supervisor wiener asked a couple questions to the western soma plan. the staff responded that there were no height changes or no new restrictions on the zoning. nafk -- in fact it would allow for office uses. with that the land use committee moved the legislation ford with recommendation of approval. also at the monday hearing was a rehearing of the fulton street grocery store special use district. as i reported last week this this is the ordinance that a ccompanies the 555 fulton project. when you heard it you made several recommendations last fall to change the special use district including asking the supervisor to work with staff on language that may use that is affordable to the neighborhood. no. 2 an allowing the size fo

we're comfortable with the language and the intent of the ordinance. our interests primary were were to get qualified applicants into the jobs and enable the position to be filled. we didn't want this to be cumbersome that you set people up to fail all along the process to be hired and there is something that makes them unsuitable weighing we've advocated this early so it will happen after the first interview and we're graltd about that. everybody we worked with all the companies and biz businesses were clear they were comfortable. many don't have this provision on their applicaion but this was a given the box would come off. we didn't want o l s c to be second guessing the decisions that the employers make whether or not the civil action was an issue. it was the timing that the employer can you couldn't ask or inquire into the job history. we really want to thank the supervisors and their staff for working with us. it was a unsatisfactory process and we're happy about the outcome and the chamber of commerce >> thank you. any other members of the publi

and separately, the healthcare security ordinances created the healthy san francisco program and this is a health access program for uninsured san francisco and i will talk about that more in a minute. >> so, this is a chart that shows the common ways that employers complied with the healthcare security ordinance before the aca. and so if you look at the top box, the employer's spending requirement, and the employer spending requirement applies to entities, or non-profit for 50 or more employees and they make the expenditures on behave of the employees working 8 hours or more per week. and there are many ways that business cans comply but there are three primary ways that they tend to comply and the first one in the middle is through health insurance and most businesses purchase, health insurance on behalf of their employees to comply with the healthcare security ordinance. another way is the hra. hra stands for the health reimbursement account. and that is a stand alone account from which that is administered

to provide us with the ordinance. those are the three eligible types of spnd turs that we are talking about with them right. no they are working to price those two items and if we have that our hope to be able to prethose all the together with the items we are thinking about. it is a decision for the committee, i think one of the thing we would like to previous is the ability to present altogether the different tradeoffs associated with these $5.6 million. while these funds were in geneva car bonds and the city does have a number of upcoming unknown life safety projects. the rim fire has left us with unknown capital liability. we have as we said the land slide and other projects we are continuing to price. i think the reserve is better for us than to continue the full appropriation appropriated with car barn. >> i was considering just the appropriating or deleting the deappropriation of the $838,000. so i feel like budget committee reserve does make sense and, you know, i want to see this project go forward. i have ma

and the family friendly workplace ordinance. and to remind them about the information that is available on our website. also, as elen, mentioned earlier, every employer who submitted an annual reporting form, in previous years, in other words, they are covered by the healthcare security ordinance, we automatically e-mail with updates about the law. so, we have sent out notifications about the updated faqs to those employers. we have seen an uptick of inquiries from the business owners. both e-mails, and phone calls. and it was from those questions that we composed the faqs to try to address their most frequent questions. >> thank you and i did receive that by the way. >> great. >> yeah. >> okay, any other questions? comments? >> next item. >> 7. >> discussion and possible action on board of supervisors file number 1 31138 hearing road work and infrastructure oversight. this is a discussion and possible action item. >> commissioners so, the as the commission we have been forwarded supervisor weiner is going to be conducting a hea

i have been working on this ordinance for a year now. this ordinance mirrors our city's successful community benefits district area in dog patch and we have a number of open spaces that are not owned by the city. they are either held in trust by a non profit organization or held by cal tran or resident have taken upon themselves to improve. in the city we've developed a robust grant opportunity for communities to improve and in some areas acquire open space, but we have no consistent funding source available for long term maintenance. this enabling ordinance establishing a process and the procedure for accomplishing a district is maintaining and improving open spaces other than the public -- other public realms which we're calling the green benefit district. so you're here and have heard it first. green benefit district. that's a new term. this ordinance is identical to the procedures and process that are currently used to form the community benefit districts focuses on commercial district, so many of you are aware of that form. this wil

with that amendment, this ordinance was passed. the last item at the full board were interim controls for certain building permits of this area of market street and south of market. this resolution would require for the 12-month period, that certain buildings that have commercial uses would be required to do a 15-day posting requirement describing the nature of the work that was expected and noticing the public that we believe that there are no residential units affected by this work. there would be a hotline established where if someone did believe the residents would be impacted, they would do enforcement and investigation. so this item was an interim control, as such it was not under the particular commission, however the director did hear the report. it will be sent to the mayor likely for approval tomorrow. there are few new introductions this week from the board i would like to share. the first is an ordinance introduced by the mayor that would create emergency shelter sud. the special use district would allow for emergency s

our first recommendation is that you approve the ordinance and the resolution. this is totally consistent with prior policy of the board of supervisors regarding the capital plan. regarding our second recommendation supervisors on page 11 mr. gibner advices if the committee wishes to advise such a recommendation it would be preferable to amend the ordinance rather than requesting the ballot committee with respect to providing voter information on prior and anticipated future bond measures. we are happy to respond to any questions. >> okay. thank you mr. rose. colleagues any questions at this point and time? mr. strong comments on recommendation number two if it's not part of the ballot [inaudible] but part of the ordinance itself. that's a comment right now from the city attorney. mr. city attorney if you could explain that in detail. >> city attorney john gibner and they upon recommended that the board amended the resolution to request that the committee include information about past bonds and potential future bonds anticipated by the capital plan. that kind o

the fair chance ordinance. i'm here today because my mom was incarcerated in 2009. she was in san francisco county jail and she wasn't let out until 2010. when she was released it was difficult for her to get housing and to get a job because she had a lot of felonies. therefore, it was hard for us to -- my brothers and my sister and i to live with her wasn't able to keep a house or stable job because of her felonies. so, it took about 3-1/2 years for us to live with her and it was very unfortunate because i was in a very uncomfortable situation with a guardian and i just really wanted to live with my mom. it would have really been beneficial if she had services or anything that could have helped her with her housing even if she did have felonies. so, and i also want to say before she was incarcerated she was working at kaiser. she had a cool house and everything. she was comfortably supporting us. but because of her felonies it's really hard for her to do that when she was released. now i'm able to live with her and she's able to keep up a job and a house, but it wa
