does that essentially refer to the d.a. then. >> mr. givner: deputy city attorney jon givner. it doesn't sound like what supervisor safai is an explicit mention of the plan going forward in the d.a. i think what might make sense as an approach here is to pass the resolution which just sets out the time lane for a future committee of the whole to consider the ordinance. the ordinance has more detail. on january 15, when the board considers the ordinance at the committee of the whole, perhaps then you could amend in a new section, explaining the provisions in the d.a. regarding the streets. >> supervisor safai: i amy fine with th -- i'm fine with that. i'm just, from having worked at d.p.w. and been in the role as supervisor now, when we're trying to deal with streets, right, and we had a situation in this chamber where there was some private streets that were not under the purview of d.p.w., and it caused a lot of confusion and problems. so i would not want there to be any confusion going forward that the city is responsible for maintaining the streets, has ownership over the st

as the d.a. says right off the bat, the development agreement is an opportunity for the city to get far more than it could have through the regular regulatory process. the question you need to ask yourself is whether -- whether this is, in fact,, the case. what we have been seeing coming out of oe w. d. and which is surprising for projects this complex, is that they are incorporating waivers of things that we have on the books to ensure prevailing wages are applied to this project throughout and that local hiring apprentices are getting requirements as part of the land swaps on the public trust land swaps that are happening, as well as with the public financing that is underwriting the infrastructure program. what the board of supervisors really needs to consider is establishing minimum standards so if we don't have situations like this where people come in on the day of the hearing, basically, maybe they've had a chance to see the d.a. for a month or so, and everyone tries to open these things up

again, i scoured through the d.a. and i could not find any committed percentages of average income within the 25%. perhaps i missed it. it is a dense development agreement but i've never had a d.a. come to this board in my district without committed levels of a.m.i. are we talking about 25% at 120% of a.m.i.? at zero% of a.m.i.? that is a huge difference of subsidy and this could be a massive detriment to the developer if those percentages are not committed to. >> we committed to an average across the site of 110% for rental and a hundred 20% for ownership. >> supervisor tang: that is very high. >> the expectation is that at least 180 of those units will be in partnership with an affordable housing provider. which would be 55% for rental and 80% and up to 90% for ownership. we also expect all the in lieu fees that would be paid out would be to low income housing as well. so the percentage -- >> supervisor tang: is that actually written out? i did not see that in the in lieu requirements. is that specified in the d.a. t
