, but what i'm saying is that since the single-family home that is in the back has never been a rental unit, it has always been owner occupied. >> vice president richards: no, i guess maybe the city attorney can help me here. two structures, one lot. it's almost like they're two flats, one on top of each other. it doesn't matter whether they're touching or away from each other. from what i understand, the rent stablization arbitration ordinance is, one structure's built before 1979, the other's under rent control, as well, whether you consider them single-family homes or not. there's two units on the lot. >> no, but my understanding, and i think that the city attorney can clarify, is that owner occupied units who have never been rented out is not part of -- is not subject to rent control if they continue to be so and occupied by another owner. >> vice president richards: yeah. you're getting a demolition permit, though, so there's going to be nothing left -- >> yeah, to replace the existing -- richa existing -- >> vice president richards: if you have new construction permit, you'll have --

this project is proposing the addition of 371 new rental units to san francisco's housing stock while also protecting existing affordable housing and preventing the displacement of san francisco families. the only way for the families who live in the units to have housing security and for the units to continue to be affordable forever is for this deal to be approved. please vote in favor of 1140 harrison street in saving our affordable housing. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. my name is... i live in south beach marine apartments with my parents for 17 years, i'm renting one unit and my parents live in a different unit. we both rent below market rate units. i'm here in strong support of the project because it will allow us to keep our affordable housing. especially, i'm a small business owner and if i have to move, it will destroy not only my business, but i cannot afford to live in san francisco. my parents are in late 70s, my mom with alzheimer's, so if they had to move into a place, even if the city finds a unit for them, it will destroy my

i'd like to speak of the 140 jobs and the below market rate rental units and with that all turn it over to our architect. >> when approaching the architectural design we study the context of rincon hill to understand the neighboring businesses in terms of their proportion and rhythm. the context gave us include to materiality and color. in line with the rincon hill plan it aims to add density to an under developed site in a livable way. we worked with staff to design the facade treatment and incorporate feedback from the commissioners. an important active was consistent with the rincon hill plan. by using the walk-up residential units and lobby and minimizing the service elements such as the garage access and mechanical spaces. despite that we're able to harness the pedestrian experience. in addition we're looking for opportunities to add vegetation and bicycle parking where possible. the site limited our ability and we found the u-shaped proposed to be the only viable option for the site. it's held back five feet from the property line so the neighbors space can be maintained. the neig

the bill bans the demolition for rental units for transit-rich projects. they'd enable and replacement of rent control units but they must proactively pass a resolution authorizing a process for doing so. sb 827 requires project sponsors to provide the following whether the existing units are subject to rent control or not. they must pay moving related expenses. provide relocation benefits, including finding relocation. and they must offer displaced tenants first right of refusal for prabl at the same rate of rent they were paying before. some questions, while it doesn't change local approval process, it is unclear what discretion the city retain for the minimal specifications of sb 827. in san francisco, we have a practice of pairing zonings with measuring the groth. so it took years of study to study the mitigation measures. including increased on-site affordability requirements. this bill wouldn't preclude us from doing a similar study should it pass, but has no provision allowing cities time to adopt the mitigation measures currently with zoning. this

united rentals will do just fine unless trump decides to tear up nafta. even then more than 91% of the business is safely secure. it's domestic. even if we put the trade issue to the side there are tons of reasons to prefer united better mix of end markets than cat. half of their business comes from industrial nonconstruction rentals, commercial construction accounts for 46% residential construction makes up the remaining 4%. how about cat, only about 40% of its sales are construction related. 50% coming from energy, transportation, natural resource related industry, think mining equipment. in short united rentals is all about commercial construction, two areas we love when the cycle was roaring as it is now and has a sizable oil and gas infrastructure related business, not bad with oil in the mid-60s. caterpillar is a lot more exposure to commodities and while trending higher of late these are much more boom and bust when those industries drop off, they really drop off that probably won't happen me time soon but united rentals is much closer to a pure pl

future, while our parents are still healthy, and they can live on their own, this would just be a rental unit. so that's pretty much all i had. thank you, commission members for your time and consideration on this project and supporting us on raising a family in san francisco. thank you. >> president hillis: all right. thank you. any additional public comment on this item? >> commissioners, my name is michael buck. i live at 136 caselli, which is adjacent to the subject development site. during the 25 years that i have lived in the neighborhood, the previous owners used the illegal, the rear unit as a rental for long-term housing. there were several tenants who stayed multiple years in that building, and while that practice has not continued with the new owners, i understand that's their right not to rent, they have taken advantage of short-te short-term rentals area which i believe would not be allowed under the existing conditions on that property. previously, i've sent you e-mails recognizing the commission's ability to either approve, deny, modify or what, and if you choose to go to appro

unit that's being used. so i'd really like to understand the level of use of what these are. so a vacancy rate, a rental registry, something, and i know the director supported conceptually these things in the past, and if you have any comments -- >> yeah, i think two comments. one is the -- the drk-who's living in these units is of course extremely challenging to get that data. we are -- we are in process of doing an inventory of the city's existing housing stock to understand as much as we can on that issue. secondly, the idea of a rental registry has been discussed. we're looking at a couple of other. berkeley has done one for quite sometime. it makes me a little nervous. i will just say it requires an enormous staff effort to maintain and manage such a registry. i mean, if you compare it to what we have for short-term rentals, which is roughly at its peak, i think there were something like 9,000 rental -- short-term rental listings. we have six people just doing that work, so we would need to figure out the appropriate staff -- it may very well be planning, but it requires an enormous effort in our c

also, you know, depending on the composition of a household, they might qualify for an affordable rental unit or they might qualify for an affordable unit, but because those are priced with households as different percentages of area median income, people won't typically -- well, would not be able to be making a choice between an affordable for rent or an affordable for sale, they'll be making a choice between their inclusionary -- or their transition unit under the thr and r's and an affordable rental or an affordable for purchase option. and also, you know, just to highlight again that for those that do pursue the affordable for sale, they are eligible for the down payment assistance, just as households pursuing a market rate for sale unit would be under the thr and r's. so these are some of the kind of issues that were -- have kind of come to the surface and we're evaluating what potential policy recommendations we may make down the road related to these. so going forward, as i mentioned, we're going to be continuing our outreach to try and complete as many consultations by the end of apri

teboney recorded a regulatory agreement in may of 2017 requiring the a.d.u.s to be long term rental units. as required by the code, no habitable space in any of the six existing units would be removed to build the a.d. yuchlts. there are currently five storage units in the room behind the garage approved for conversion to the a.d.u.s, four of which are used by the tenant including the appellant. when he received the appeal, he realized the storage units should be relocated in order to not to remove housing services enjoyed by the tenants. revised plans in exhibit f in our brief show how the storage units will be relocated and all other housing services including parking, laundry, and bicycle parking are maintained. first point, the zoning administrator and d.b.i. did not abuse their discretion in approving the proposed a.d.u.s. the application met the requirements of the planning code and the decision to waive density, parking space were expressly authorized by section 207. there is no code-based reasons for this board to disapprove the permit. secondly, the revised a.d.u. plans preserve

the unit proposed for expansion was not a rental unit as it has not been used for rent for several decades. the loss of the potential rent controlled unit would be compensated by the addition of a new adu at the rear of the building on the lot. the affordability would be maintained by the adu on the lot. keeping with the scale and development pattern of the neighborhood. it increased the number of family sized units. the number of dwelling units on site would not only be maintained and increased. the commission carefully reviewed the proposed project and came to the conclusion that on balance, the proposed project met the criteria in the planning code and you section 30 # and 317. they gave the applicant clear direction on the proposed design, for these reasons the commission approved the project and now staff leaves the question in the hands of this board. thank you. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor sheehy. >> supervisor sheehy: i had a question for planning staff. so the existing unit being referenced is within a commercial? >> my understanding is that the building was originall
