tara sullivan from the department staff. i had not prepared i guess an entrance speech because i wasn't sure if any of the commission presidents wanted to speak as to what had been going on. i can happily describe what is in front of both commissions today. and i do have some presentation, and items i do need to discuss, but. >> i would like to say a few words on behalf of the historic preservation commission. president miguel, commissioners, members of the public, before we begin today's hearing on the proposed changes to the san francisco planning code, including articles 10 and 11, affectsing our city's historic resources, on behalf of the historic preservation commission i would like to offer the following comment. we have taken seriously the responsibility in evaluating the language of these two articles as well as the work that's to be done to finish article 11 as well as section 309. we have been deliberate in the review of the cleanup language and insertion language that has been required under prop j. to that end, c

. >> tara sullivan from the department. taking back to what the director was asking, i just want to clarify. and i am more than happy to have in-depth discussions with the planning commission on preservation issues. so we will go ahead and start scheduling some hearings. commissioner olague: yeah. >> items to try to get in. kind of go through it. maybe not as line-by-line as we did with the h.p.c., but issue by issue or however you want to do it. but i just want to make sure that that's what you're requesting. commissioner olague: i think the majority of this commission is requesting it. >> and then the h.p.c. will continue to go on with article 11, and then we can somehow merge all of this in the next few months. commissioner olague: but make sure that, yeah, that we're part of the discussions on that. >> ok. all right. commissioner olague: that's what i'm hearing from the majority of this commission. president miguel: i know there are people rung in but there is a motion second to continue which is nondebatable. commissio

seen fit, -- although it does not seem clit, -- although it does not seem quick, i want to thank tara sullivan. a lot of people have asked us how this will impact the current inflationary housing program, and it is also interesting to see where we are. i have an overhead that explains how the program [inaudible] if you can see this, what we see today, from the beginning of our program in 1992 through at least march of this year is about 30% of our units on rentals, and 70% our ownership, so that gives you an idea. in addition, you will see that a great majority of our units are on site. most developers choose on site, and most units themselves are on site units. the second reference book -- both in terms of the products themselves in the unit when you look at the unit total, is off site, and the final preference is the fee. nothing has really changed through this program but that we cannot mandate mental anymore. why did we not exempt rental as some cities have done? he did not exempt rental units entirely and we did create an opportunity for them to develop through development agreement becau

>> tara sullivan, department staff. i want to -- the third scenario -- i actually might turn this question over entirely to the city attorney to answer, actually. commissioner sugaya i'm assuming, for example, that nothing happens today. >> deputy city attorney. there's a couple of different options for the commission if they want to take action today, the planning commission to specify which commission i'm talking about. the resolution that was in your packet amended your prior action that you took. and actually, there's a lot of prosecutorial challenges with doing that under the rules so a better action if you do want to take an action today would be to make a brand new resolution, which is the resolution that tara passed out. as you're aware, you did already make -- take a resolution to introduce certain amendments to the planning code at the board of supervisors. and i believe you took that action in early august. that, if i understand correctly from the staff, that ordinance has not yet been introduced at the board
