so the purple and blue are the percentage rent tenants and retail and office tenants.if you look at the opposite side of the slide on the right-hand side, you see those two types of uses generate quite a bit of revenue to the port in proportion to their actual foot print that they take up. so i wanted to call what we're managing depends on the uses and how much economic activity trickles into the port. finally i just wanted to tell you this is the first of what we're trying to make a standard quarterly report. it will be sort of a boiled -down version of what you are seeing here today, but will have a number of sort of -- i think good statistic, measurable things we can compare quarter over quarter and will be useful and i want to leave the rest of my time for any questions that you may have. >> do we have any public comment? hearing none, i do have a couple of questions. in your report, it does say in your forecasting methodology you are assuming existing leases would be replaced by leases with similar terms and expirations and i guess that is at -- you are forecastin

so this is a slide about the typical tenant rand company -- contributions.a typical homeless single adults, the average household income if he or she is on disability is approximately $800 a month re. rent famous standard is typically 30% of household and come. however, for the dp hh unit, the city is providing more intensive services including tenant care. tenants are required to pay 50% of their household income as rent payment. even requiring the higher rent payments, it would still not be enough to cover the full operating costs which services the unit, which could range from $6,000 to $12,000 per unit. the local operating subsidy program ensures that a homeless person can be taken off the streets or out of the city's emergency care system and housed and provided services, even if he or she has a zeroing come. -- zero in come. now what would like to talk to you about the process for the local operating subsidy approvals. eligible projects are permanent supportive housing that have been approved by the city-wide affordable housing loan committee which is

i have represented tenants. at some point, i represented both because they have a common interest even in that. obviously, they both have to make the space accessible either now or later, so it is best that they work together if they can. and work together to save us -- to hire a single lawyer. they can make repairs or what ever is in their agreement. sometimes, when the tenant is the small business and does not have much cash flow, one way to do is to renegotiate the lease, where the cost is amortized over a longer period time. it is another way to spread the payments back to the less financially available person. would you do if you get one of these notices? if you have not had your property inspected already, or if you do not do it following this program -- which i recommend you do -- you should have an inspection by an architect who is familiar with ada issues. we call all of these laws ada, but really ada is one aspect of the federal laws. there are five or six statutes, depending on the specifics of the ca

part of is it is hoteling, but if you think about their traditional tenants and all the tenants in america get smaller by 30% without firing anybody, we wouldn't have to build any office buildinged for a long period of time. so what is remarkable about what is going on in the bay area, we have been able to absorb that contraction in the tenants, which jk put on the front page today and managed to overwhelm that with growth in technology and technology-related tenants, which is why what is going on in the bay area today is so extraordinary relative to what is going on in the rest of commercial real estate across the country. when we look at this, in practical terms, here is a prototypically way for a tenant in an office building. this layout allows people to reach a ratio of 110 square feet per person or over nine people per thousand square feet. this density, i think, is very important. it means a couple of things. first, it means that san francisco and other transit-rich locations will win over suburban greenfield sites, where projects are typically parked at three or 3.3 per thousand. be

>> we are going to do a special outreach to all the tenants.e will have been another town hall meeting in the next couple of weeks. we will have our staff call e . we will do everything we can do to reach out to everybody. our website is a great location. we will put signs up down at the harbor. relating to someone's comments that the port was the dillydallying on sending out list of tenants. the request was sent in by e- mail to the ports, who sent it to the city attorney, who came back to us and said that information is proprietary and against the law to send it out. we will explore it further. we are reacting to a specific legal opinion from the city attorney. if there is a way to get around it, we will try. but i do not know how. i do want to thank the advocates for south beach harbor. we do have a good relationship. we will continue to meet with them on a regular basis. it is not easy. there are some difficult questions. regarding the america's cup, that is an opportunity. we are housing five or six of the chase boats for the race that wil

call tenant improvement work.o what he we have here is a big raw space. the tenant comes in and says i want to lease this space. they typically can lease a whole floor or a piece of it. with the designer they lay things out. how do we get out, whethe wheree exits? >> generally the exits are at the tremendous end of the building and so the issue is, do you have a corridor to tie those exits together? or do you not have a corridor, because it's one big tenant space. >> with a big room you request see the exit. >> you are going to need a walkway with those low-rise folding partitions. >> what's interesting, if you look at the concrete floor, see what this rests all the difbts in thdivotsin the floor? there was a metal track that formed the corridor. you could follow along, see where the walls used to be. there's a wall right there. and they put the wall in by putting a little metal track and shooting it into the concrete. how would they attach -- what would they do for a ceiling in here? >> they would have to rub it

over 70 people have signed up including each tenant on the north side of jefferson street between hyde and jones. holding regular meetings with the port of san francisco starting in october every other week to keep people abreast on the construction process and to give them a forum to contact if they have problems. the cbd is continued to out reach and the stake holders about the project and will work with agencies to mitigate the impact during construction. with that i just wanted to say that the cbd firmly supports this project and requests your action. >> any more public comment. >> hearing none. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> i would like to thank your efforts for saving the street trees, i am glad to see that it worked. i didn't mention as the sidewalk is widened, will we be able to get any revenue from stands that will be permitted on that widened sidewalk area? >> the sidewalk is being widened on the north side of the street, currently there is a mixed cafe zone and sidewalk and that area could be expanded into a solely a cafe zone. >> i was thinking more like the food trucks or th

. >> hello, i'm john decastro, a tenant and i do appreciate the commission directing the staff to come down and talk to us yesterday. we had almost 100 tenants at the hall down there, listening to our information and the staff has agreed to drop the electric charge, which we appreciate, until the metering is done on the piers. so that is very good. what i am concerned about is the staff does not seem to have listened to the concerns of the tenants regarding the parking and setting of rates at parity with other public harbors and i find there is minimal understanding or compassion regarding the lack of parking down there. and they are saying to live with it. we have had 205 spaces, but 205 space goes back to 1985. it was a little quieter back then. there is a little more going on at the waterfront. and that is a lot of people running around that parking lot. there seems to be that the pier 40 space was included to allocate about 100 spaces, but nobody can put their finger on that lore. so i think a little investigation has to be done with that regards. the west harbor is totally reconst

we are the tenants affected by it, not mr. flynn. goothe other issue i would likeo bring up is the gate open or closed. i have not watched it, but two weeks running, the gate is closed. your order is affixed to the wall. it says seven days a week, and the manager does not work on the weekends, so the gate is closed. gi want to ensure your order is so vague. thank you. -- is obeyed. thank you. >> any other public comments? please step forward. >> my apartment faces the alley way. i have also witnessed negate being closed. the whole reason the gate was installed and now is because of safety. i think mr. flynn has done and not to create safety for the alley. good -- has done enough to create safety for the alley. he has a camera to see what goes in and out. there is a private security that comes in in the evening to patrol the building and the alleyway. he says there is a property manager. you're there might be a new one, but for the past two and not -- there might be another one, but for the past two and a half months there was an 0no

we did hear a few weeks ago from the tenant of stairs, the business sense name -- who from the tenant upstairs. we talk with them, and the owner hired a sound consultant to go in and do sound tests, and we have tried to assure the tenants of stairs it is pretty much oldies and goodies and soft jazz and dixieland. there will be a house band, and the application has met all of the requirements. the application is still not in its entirety. the building is sound. goothey already were handling security on powell street, so they are familiar with how it is done. most people are supportive or remained neutral. the tenant of stairs was also concerned about garbage and smoking, and all of those are covered in the lease. the new tenant will abide by those conditions. this is the founder and owner of the gold dust lounge. >> i want to thank you. i am sorry, but i was not prepared. we have to view your permit. >> i will be 65 this year. do you offer it senior discounts? if not, i would like you to consider that. >> jim, who you want to add anything? >> my name is jim, and we have worked with the

and then when the tenant comes in you've got another tenant improvement. to have the exit signs working, during the courts of demolition they wanted to make sure that the workers could get out in an emergency. there is a whole system to making sure that you keep the life safety codes in place while you're doing the de demolition. >> even if a house is mountain, shs. >> that light will remain on 24/7 and the smoke detectors are on. >> the one thing we didn't talk about is the trench here. >> that's getting a little high-tech. >> is that getting a little high-tech? >> we can explain if you want. in certain classes of buildings, who have what i consider sophisticated owners, they have put in electrified floor and they can lift up the steel plate here, and there is a trench here with wire trenches going out this way. and so they can come in and say, i want an electrical outlet right there where your foot is. and they can open up this plate, run a wire down a sleeve, drill a hole where you're standing, and pop utd a wire -- up a wire, and never go down to the t

you indicated there isn't for commercial tenants? >> no, we exhausted this already >> if the purpose of engaging in further dialogue. my question would be -- does this commission have the authority to grant jurisdiction to the residential appeal's board specifically for the purpose of hearing appeal such as the one that's pending? do we have that authority? >> um, you have the authority to set policy with respect to this matter. when we bring it back to you, we can outline what those options are. is that okay? >> okay. >> so, i just want to be clear on what the next step is, which is we're going to review the policy at a subsequent meeting and it will be agendized appropriately to delegate that and review the policy. >> and see whatever -- what, if any adjustment to that would be appropriate and doable. >> if i may. we will actually examine the account. make recommendations and i think todd mentioned some of the recommendations about going from bimonthly to monthly. we will talk about the noticing process, and we will see how many ot

he was among the tenants on that notorious night back in 1978 when the courageous tenants were dragged and forcibly removed from their place of residence. after the eviction he continued to fight along side other community members to rebuild the "i" hotel which was rebuilt and reopened as affordable housing for seniors in 2005. he is currently on the board of the directors of -- board of directors of the manilatown heritage foundation which is promoting social and economic justice for -- and preserves the "i" hotel legacy advocating for equal access and advancing filipino arts and culture. you have done tremendous work in the city and county of san francisco in your touch and mark on the city is around in so many different ways. i want to congratulate you on your great service and i look forward to all the work we can do together in our district in the years to come. >> well thank you, supervisor. i just wanted to thank president chiu and honorable supervisors, and, you know, my colleagues from the human rights commission. this is sort of a 180 degree turn from when i was an advocate a

concealment of the tenant of the downstairs unit of 47 avenue was a little.the concealment to the department of building inspection that in 1996, a restriction was placed on the deed and that no borders could live in the downstairs unit, and concealment that a permit was filed 16 years ago to demolish the illegal kitchen and reconvert the downstairs unit into a single-family home. in 2002, when my clients moved into this downstairs unit at 47th avenue, they were never told it was illegal. they were never told the downstairs unit was not intended or designed for a living, sleeping, dining, and cooking, and they love their unit. they have devoted time and attention, created this extensive garden, and now they have learned the unit is a legal. and they have been forced to move out and it would place on due hardship on them. they are considered a protected tenant with the assumption they tended to live there the rest of their lives. on behalf of my clients, we request they are given three- four months to move out. i have included numerous pictures of their garden

as a tenant of sfhs, i would like to lend my support to the long standing reputation for dysfunction. while talking to my building manager, she informed me she received a large shipment of goods costing thousands of dollars she did not order. upon returning the merchandise, she was told she could only get half back. the supervisor told her to pay it. these are only the incidences i know of. if you take these incidents and multiply them by all of the housing authority housing and the millions of dollars, the people suffering at the loss of these funds being expended are the tenants. upon moving into my unit, the heat worked fine. to my surprise, a work heard has been issued to replace the thermostat. i informed the contractor that i use the low and the fourth stair and if he was taking away my choices, i would prefer the low. i cannot use my heat at all. after several bills from the company with no result she intended to never use them again. meanwhile, i no longer use the heat because a, it doesn't work since june and the tenant who moved in above has cigarette smoke coming directly i

peter has been a great representative and has worked diligently with the tenants. we don't always agree, but he has been of good man to work with. i want to talk about berthing rates, and it seems to me there two drivers of the berthing rates. one is we have a deficit. i think all the berth holders understand the deficit has to be made up out of revenues. so we are down for that. the other driver is market value. what is the market value of south beach harbor today compared with others in the area? when we look at the berthing rates, and i have prepared an analysis for south beach harbor. i would be happy to go over this line by line and see what's what. it would take an increase of 17.2% to break even. pay the deficit. eliminate the $810,000 deficit. that does include some additional revenue peter has mentioned, some we list revenue and the charge for the second parking pass. -- wait list revenue. we also have additional revenue we have all talked about any meetings. charter fees for people who are picking up and dropping off passengers. and electricity revenue, w

first and foremost, the tech tenants that we're dealing with are move stronger financially than the tenants that we saw in 2000. in 2000, the name of the game for these technology tenants was to go public and everybody was looking for an ipo as their exit. and given the focus on the ipo, they were all focused on market share, first and foremost, and almost everything else was irrelevant. today while the ipo market opens and closes, most of these companies are being managed as much to be acquired as they are to go public. and that means that there is a focus on the liabilities of the company, that there wasn't in '99 and 2000 and also the amount of capital is much more concentrated in a number of key vc firms and being doled out in smaller pieces. in late '90-2000, it spread through the vc community that wait a minute, everybody is going to run out of space. and the signal got sent to all of these boards that have you go to control real estate to be able to grow and we saw tenants taking three, four, five and in some cases eight or nine times their current foot print it in their new leasing

going to start tomorrow, and we're going to do everything that we can to prelease to non-formula tenants, the neighborhood groups have suggested that the time should start at the conditional certificate of occupancy which will be sometime in the future, five years is a long time, five years from today is a long time, it's not at the end of the five years that we're freed up to do whatever we want. we still have the conditional use requirement so they will be able to assuming they're not happy with the tenants we proposed to come here, so as opposed to the certificate of occupancy, there's many buildings in san francisco that never got a certificate of occupancy, you get a temporary certificate of occupancy, you can take occupancy of the building with a temporary certificate, there will be conditions and sometimes those conditions take another year to get the work done, so in fairness, and i think this is something that you're going to have to decide because i'm assuming you'll hear pr the neighborhood groups that they prefer to start later rather than sooner. >> [inaudible] president of

she is able to offer to tenants if there is a spot available. she has put in four electric charging stations. we want the flexibility to rent them to people with electric cars or city car share. making this process simple and functional is the process of city government. we appreciate you bringing this forward and shepherding it through. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon again, supervisors. brook turner, with coalition for better housing. may i begin by thanking supervisor wiener for his work, that is helpful, mr. cato and mr. cisneros if he is watching for working on this. it came as i think a reaction to constituent complaints about bills coming in or enforcement unknown tax law where there are some folks who had to pay huge fines and huge back tax on us and are continuing to do that, even as we speak. they still have to do this. although ignorance of the law is certainly no excuse, it is -- it was not known by most anyone that this was necessary. if they did know, had i known that they had to be fingerprinted and bonded

have a garage and rent that out and a single family home or a ten-unit building and rent seven to tenants and three to non-residents, you have to pay parking tax on anything rented to a non-tenant or non-resident of the building. so people have not generally known about this. in addition we make it incredibly difficult to actually pay the tax. we treat these property owners and all property owners as if they were the fifth emission garage. they have to get fingerprinted, they have to have certain kinds of machinery in place. they have to file monthly. they have to pay a $1,000 annual fee, significantly more than the taxes than they owe and have to get a bond. even if people may have had an inkling, it is not shocking. it is too much brain damage to even deal with it. so what this would do is for anyone who is renting up to five parking spots somehow connected to a residential property, they would be of course continued to be required to pay the parking tax. the finger-printing and bonding and equipment requirements would be waived, as well as the approximate matdly $1,000 fee. they would

the notice is addressed both to the tenant and landlord. next thing you see, you are handed a piece of paper by some stranger, and it is a lawsuit. then you need to find a lawyer. probably 90% of these cases are in federal court. it becomes much more costly to get a lawyer involved. most lawyers charged somewhere between $5,000 or $10,000 to get involved in some of these cases. you need to file a formal answer in the court. you will be in a mediation process, which means you will meet with people appointed by the court to try to resolve this issue. the revolution is just what i said. it is major repairs if they are appropriate, and not all repairs are in demand. and, to settle the damaged portion of the case. in my experience, the damages claimed usually run somewhere between $15,000 or $5,000, and attorneys fees generally run between $10,000 or $15,000. my colleague over year has learned that the attorneys fees are $4,000, and they have not got past mediation. there is not even discovery until you finish mediation. ultimately, if you do no

and the impact it will have on our tenants, regardless of the low rent they are paying. we have a 71-year-old who has been here, and he wants to be here, but he cannot. she is only paying $212, and she has been here 20 years. another one who has been here more than 45 years, this is their quality of life we are talking about. i have lived in unit 3, and i know what it feels like to live in this room. a common area is a major part of our living space. we traveled to the bathroom and showers. this is space we share, unlike most buildings when we just go through the hallway to leave or enter, so it is crucial that are building light wells, the ability to heat our common hallways is protected, up because most buildings do not have needed facilities in the hallway, and this is helping us -- do not have heated facilities in the hallway, and this allows us to move through our building without having to bulk up, and it allows for circulation into our bathroom and hallway, because we share a common area. as manager and owners, we understand and care about our tenants comfort, and
