some have come through requests of community groups for the central soma plan. one we will be eliminating the incentive for privately-owned public open spaces to provide playgrounds, sports clubs and dog runs. this was an incentive that provided a 33% reduction in the space required that they provide one of the above. the community felt that the private developers should provide this without the incentive so we have removed the incentive. this does of course mean the community needs to work really hard with project sponsors so they provide it to families and dogs and such needs. there's qualifying language on how portable water is provided within the popos many of there's technical changes that the planning department has requested in regarding to approvals of project driveway loading and operation plans. this plan will now prohibit single-room occupancy units except in units that consist of 100% affordable housing and we will prohibit group housing unless it's housing for persons with disabilities or transitional and buildings again providing 100% affordable ho

i would say it's consistent with the soma use and family sud. the purpose is to expand affordable housing opportunities in this project as a mixed income project does just that. it's 25% affordability level is the highest in the city. you heard a lot of comment earlier about 18, 19 and 20%. this is 25%. that is 6% higher than what the new rental rate will be for projects with 25 or more units. would eliminate nine rental units, which would include 2-3 affordable units. in changing to traditional dwelling units would, in my mind undermine the purposes of the sud in a few different ways. the unit count would drop significantly. please stand by. please stand >> it is one of 478, i believe, contributors so the loss of that building was not considered well less than significant. 109 is setback behind a fence and it was not considered historic. so the building is essentially nine units on a floor. five floors with three units on the ground level and they'll have private gardens within a bigger common rear yard. it is the south side of the building whi

i have 18 amendments that i am introducing to the central soma plan. i have discussed all of these at the full commission and to the full board and committee, so i will give my colleagues to look through. i have no further comments since i have talked enough about the central soma plan, so at this time, i am ready to open up for public comment and perhaps we can answer questions after public comment. >> that is fine we can keep the ball rolls. >> if any members of public wish to come up with items 8 through 12, please come on up. >> good afternoon. i think it's still afternoon. [laughter] my name is genie and i am with ss blue and central to ma neighbors. i am here to request supplemental sir. we request that the city prepare supplemental impact report to analyze this new information. this is significant new information that demonstrates that the central soma plan will have far greater traffic impacts than disclosed in the eir. that is all i have, thank you very much. >> hello, my name is gina. thank you for sitting here all afternoon. i am gina ful ph

that will not happen in the space of the approval of the central soma plan.f we don't pass this amendment, there will be no guarantee of any housing. so you can look at it from the project sponsor's perspective or the community perspective. i would prefer to give the community a guarantee that there will be some housing that would be included with the project, either because of the rezoning or because it will finally be negotiated through the development agreement. the other provides a benefit to the project sponsor and i don't think that that leverage is needed for the project sponsor in this case. there is no way within a week's time that he developed agreement will be hammered out between the community and the project sponsor to ensure that there is some type of housing that is a part of this key site proposal. again, all of this -- this is the only key site proposal that is duly developed agreement. all of this will get hammered out in the months that will follow the passage of the central soma plan. >> just so i am clear, does the agreement have to come

this indicates that if cyclists were to drive, we are speaking specifically about soma. if the cyclist that we intercepted were to drive, it is likely that an entire lane of additional street capacity would be needed during peak hours. just for soma bike traffic. in addition, of course, greenhouse gases would increase substantially. if that is the state of things now, imagine what the positive effect could be if we could bring women's participation and the participation of women and color up on par two men. civil some key takeaways. what can we do? this research recommends that we invest in both material structure and some things that they are calling, i know this is a cool phrase, socio- cultural infrastructure. i will unpack that for a minute. to increase diversity and inclusion in urban biking, cities need to adopt a holistic approach that includes investments in both of these very wonky sounding terms. material infrastructure means bike lanes. we heard a loud and clear from the focus groups that people, you particularly women, felt safer in protected bike lanes. the

we are soma coalition jobs for justice, action network todd co. colleagues, i mentioned 113 amendments were made over six land use. i have three more amendments to make. all of them have been heard at land use and are substantive but will not require us to continue the vote today. and so i have handed -- distributed to board members. again, these have been discussed. i'm introducing them to the final plan. commissioner safai wanted to introduce them with regard to ground floor on one of the sites. >> supervisor safai: yes. we had the opportunity to talk about heights of ceiling. and we've met with with the project sponsor and got greater explanation. part of the recommendations from the planning department, parts of the site will be at 17 feet. others based on the way that the slope of the land is will not. overall, in general, they're doing a significant job and have dedicated and committed to building affordable housing adjacent to that. after having further conversations, i'm fine with the recommendation from supervisor kim and project sponsor

so i'm ready to move forward with 30 and 31, which establishes a central soma tax district. it's a resolution of intent to establish the district and incur bond undebtedness. i do have three amendments i'm introducing to the planning code, which are the items that were called but i need more time to get the amendments copied for every member of the board. we're finalizing a few words. they were already introduced and then struck. they will be reintroduced again, so will not delay the passage of being able to vote on this today, but i need to get that language copied for all 11 members. if we can vote on items 30 and 31. is that possible, madam clerk? >> clerk: i think we can take action on 30 and 31 and revisit 52-56 later in the agenda. is that what you are asking? >> supervisor kim: yes. >> president cohen: any other discussions on items 30 and 31? all right. seeing none, we should be able to take this same house, same call. looks like we have -- the house has changed. let's do a roll call vote, please. >> clerk: on items 30 and 31 -- [roll call vote] >> clerk: there are 1

i'm with soma filipina. so we wanted to express our support for john sanchez and his team to open the executive order bar and lounge currently in the vacant westfield space on 868 mission street. mr. sanchez expressed already a firm commitment to be a good neighbor to us and to work collaboratively with soma filipinas to enhance our goals around cultural disability, community development without further displacement, and the connect injustice -- economic injustice that we tried to deal with in the district. we're happy to support a business that has committed to working with local businesses to open up entry level job opportunities. working with soma filipinas art and culture committee already in creating and curating additional art pieces that incorporate filipino and filipina history into its decor. we're hoping that also with these performance nights, it can provide a platform for filipino creatives to explore their talents and also to propagate current issues in the neighborhood. we're also excited that

we have three projects within the central soma plan which total 400 residential units. i'm speaking today on behalf of the proposed hotel at 305th street. this is the only nonresidential project in the history of our firm. i would like you -- i would like to use my time to explain why we are pursuing a hotel and to ask you to consider what should be built in this location given the site specific restraints. there is a deed, a copy of which i have here which was used to convey title of the land. it does restrict residential uses, particularly in mixed-use multifamily on the site. so it reads, using or improving the premises for residential purposes including multifamily residential uses is prohibited. this prohibit -- this prohibition runs with the land and applies to all successors in interest. october 1st, staff presented the planning commission process recommendations which included grandfathering provisions for hotels which we submitted in an evaluation. to date, we spent a lot of money and resources. it was submitted in october 2016 and we feel a hotel would be grea

it is not just soma. it's kind of weird. just say soma safety commission. know, nightclub owners, stakeholders. >> all right. i moved to approve with that one change and i don't know if there's any others, but i don't have any. >> okay. >> commissioner thomas? >> let's open it to public comment. is there any public comment on the minutes? saying none, public comment is closed. commissioner thomas? >> aye. [roll call] >> okay. the minutes have been approved. the next item on the agenda is a report from our executive director. >> all right. good evening, commissioners. this is very interesting sitting up here, since i was down below. i just wanted to update you on a quite -- quite a few things this evening. first of all up the world city of culture forum was hosted in san francisco last week by the san francisco arts commission. and both dale and bryce and i were lucky enough to be included in some of the events, including their gallop which was on thursday night. it was a black-tie gala. it was very interesting. we met people from all over the world to serve

all of this will get hammered out in the months that will follow the passage of the central soma plan. >> just so i am clear, does the agreement have to come back before the board of supervisors? >> yes, it does the mac wouldn't it make more sense to wait to allow for the developer his agreement to go forward and if there is no agreement reached with the community on this particular issue then we would not be finalizing the agreement? >> one provides a guarantee to the project sponsor in my amendment provides a guaranteed to the community. i would prefer to move forward with some type of commitment to guarantee the community that there will be housing. if the board should choose to do the other way around, which is to provide some type of guarantee for the sponsor, that will be the will of the board. i will be moving forward to amend this at land use or the full board of supervisors. >> i was curious. was this brought up early on in the process? i am curious as to why, now at this moment this additional change. >> i did bring this up. not 15 days ago but at the full board of superviso

some may think soma is the next financial district. however, we need to remind those who may think that these projects are located within the youth and family zone. we are appreciative that sfmta is taking into consideration all the families, children and seniors that these improvements are for. as well as working with filipino's community voice to incorporate into the streetscapes to support our place making and awareness efforts in the filipino cultural heritage district. >> chair c. brinkman: thank you. >> clerk: is frank menchin here? is terry lewis here? thank you. curtis bradford. david lewis. >> for the last 12 years i have lived in this neighborhood. i have lost friends and neighbors to traffic fatalities. right in the building i live i lost a neighbor to a traffic fatality in the neighborhood. i have others injured because of vehicle collisions. i support both projects. i see the solutions as humane, as sensible, as data informed. these are rational solutions. i understand changing, reducing the northbound or southbound lanes

this is the last committee meeting you will sit with in regards to central soma plan. and we will pass this out of committee today and bring this to the full board. i did want to just bring you up, if there are any questions in regards to the bond and the resolution of intention to form the central soma special tax district if if you have any awards. >> thank you, the planning department. we don't have any questions at this time. we did just want to highlight for the committee that based on the advice of the clerk of the board, they are recommending we change the date that is listed in both of the resolutions of intention in order to accommodate the first hearing of 2019 which is the inaugural hearing. currently, the r.o.i. file february 180622 specifies the date for the full board hearing to form the c.f.d. at january 8th, 2019. however, because at that hearing, substantive matters wouldn't be heard the recommendation is that be changed to january 15th, the following week. the other r.o.i. file number 180623 is currently flank is we numbecurrent blank so justadd j. no
