i think supervisor wiener had some very good intentions. i think that this plus kim's, maybe we can finally come up with something that is reasonable. our problem is with that first notice and they can keep working. we've had several, several, several buildings that didn't pass -- after c-e-q-a that didn't pass an appeal for valid reasons. one was mentioned today. and the reason why it's failing is because they -- a certain organization misrepresented facts to the federal government and they're not getting funding. i think that we should be very circumvent on how we vote on this. and i think that the notice should be 45 days. my reason? it takes two weeks for it to get to my neighborhood from the planning commission. there is a hearing right now, a pre-application meeting that i still haven't gotten a notice on. tonight it goes to 9 o'clock. this has been a wonderful day in city hall. and -- but i think that to allow something that is on appeal to keep building and keep processing, i think that we are hurting ourselves and setting our self-

supervisor wiener brought that up. i just want to add that while i and many, many others in glenn park were pleased with the recreation center project, was sustained and is underway, a clearer and earlier c-e-q-a appeal process would have been the right thing. this legislation would have avoided the confusion. thank you for your time and please move this ordinance forward. >> thank you. >>> good evening, commissioners, tim colin on behalf of the san francisco housing action coalition. you've heard us many times over the years express how strongly we feel in our deep frustrations with the crying need for change and reform of c-e-q-a. it is repeatedly used against proposals that embody our best principles of sensible land use and appropriate urban infill. this is not a theoretical harm. the abuses that used in c-e-q-a's name raise risk and uncertainty which makes good projects take longer and cost more to build. these costs have to be passed somewhere. the price of spurious appeals is to make san francisco's housing in t

i'm here tonight to offer our support for supervisor wiener's proposed ordinance. it's reasonable that san francisco's implementation of c-e-q-a will, with the passage of this ordinance, become more in line with the practice of other jurisdictions throughout the state. and finally, i just want to wish everybody a happy st. patrick's day. as you know, this sunday is st. patrick's day. so, happy st. patrick's day to everybody. thank you. >> thank you. >>> howard wong with san francisco tomorrow. several days before last thanksgiving the c-e-q-a legislation that's introduced, it was to be brought to the land use committee the following monday and to the full board the following tuesday. several commissions were told that it was benign, harmless, wasn't really worth looking at, just pass it. several commissions said, well, we don't quite understand some of these issues. what is the first triggering mechanism? what are the implications? please have discussions with others to clarify some of our concerns and the community's questions. many organizations found out about t

as you've heard this evening from supervisor wiener, this ordinance was developed with the help of our staff to address a crucial deficit that we have in our procedures right now under chapter 31. chapter 31 of the administrative code governs all of our c-e-q-a review work in san francisco in addition to the c-e-q-a guidelines themselves, of course. our department remains very firm in the belief that the current lack of rules is really to no one's benefit around these appeals of negative declarations and categorical exemptions. we've had procedures codified for several years for environmental impact reports, but nothing codified for these other types of c-e-q-a documents. with the lack of procedures, as supervisor wiener mentioned, a city attorney opinion is needed to determine the timeliness of each and every appeal. no one, not the planner, not the clerk of the board, not the public, not the project sponsor can answer confidently when an appeal of the environmental document is or is not timely or allowed. since 2010, approximately a quarter of attempted exemption appeals were found t

again, it's my pleasure to work with supervisor wiener. but i think we have an obligation to make sure we protect the safety net and there are different degrees of vulnerability and when he look at the kinds of funding we're talking about some of the most vulnerable people in our city and we have an obligation to restore as much of that funding we can. i think there's also a financial and quite frankly a moral cost to not doing this. if you don't allow the folks to be impacted by those services to continue to get the life service they need it could cost the city money and you can have people who will die if those services are not provided. we do what we do extremely well, and given the number of cuts that have taken place in the last few years they're doing the most they can with very the money. i know there are efficiency here a lot of collaboration and coordination so i think the challenge we're talking about an amount of money that i think unfortunately has to be replaced. i don't think we can afford financially from a health care prosp

wiener, for different reasons. number one, that is because you're going to take the money from the s-r-o housing, low-income housing that we have from prop c. and second, because we got money for transportation for [speaker not understood]. i don't want to take money from these two programs what we get last year from the [speaker not understood] housing for the families. i would like you to find other ways, different ways that you can find the money through supporting these projects working right now. because for us it's really important to provide and build housing, low-income housing for families first before we think about to build and [speaker not understood] the city. if you weren't doing this, we would [speaker not understood] more homeless family in the city. second thing, [speaker not understood] investigate and see what is going on in the city, we have 500 homeless families living in s-r-o in the city of san francisco. we have 500 families, 250 in shelters in place. and 250 families [speaker not understood

supervisor wiener? wiener no. we have two no's and one aye. >> the motion fails. supervisor kim, are there any other -- >> no. i just want to thank the land use committee for taking a great deal of your time to discuss this neighborhood plan in district 6. i just -- i i'm really pleased with the final outcome of this plan. i just have to say there were so many moving pieces, so many interested parties. ~ south of market, of course, as a representative, i will say is a very unique neighborhood because it encompasses so much -- so many uses, so many needs. it has such an interesting history in terms of land use. and i feel like what we put forward today is really a balance. and i know jim meko talks about this all the time. in fact, were on the campaign trail together so i got to hear him say this on a weekly basis, which is the importance of developing complete neighborhoods. and i really feel that the plan that we are putting forward today allows us to maximize that vision of a complete neighborhood that involves a place where you can work, where you can live, whe

thank you chair wiener. if you would like to close public comment. >> public comment is closed. [ gavel ] . supervisor kim. >> thank you. so mr. teague did present a set of amendments and i just wanted to go over them again, right now. first, we did a couple of rezoning of the red along the major corridor where's we felt there was actually a conflict there and those amendments are in and that is clean up. second, is the removal of the b, bulk requirements. third the educational component. [speaker not understood] fifth, is actually to rezone class and rawhide to wmun and this is something that we worked on with cmac and terrance allen. if by some chance they protest this rezoning, i have been informed by the city attorney we can rezone it back next monday without it sitting-- pushing it to sit in committee for a third week. and i just wanted to bring up a number of outstanding issues with the plans that i think will be the subject of the policy discussion today. one was the grand fathering issue. there were

and so i can't say and it sounds like -- >> is this in regards to chair wiener's? >> yes. >> [kha*-eur/] chair wiener's actually reduces it. >> it sounds like it's not entirely clear. it reduces a to b is a reduction. the deleted sentence potentially increases the fee. and so i guess bottom line is that we can figure that out. and we will after this meeting. i just wanted you to be aware you, and we would just have to confer with department about the actual effects. >> and we would know the answer to that presumably shortly? >> yes. >> and if that impacts anyone's view on the matter, that a change could be made next week. i don't think a one week versus two weeks is that big a deal, but if it were to be an issue for someone that can be dealt with next monday? >> the other thing i would suggest if we could figure out and maybe we continue this to the call of the chair, so if it is two weeks you could schedule it two weeks from now. is that part of thinking? >> i would defer to supervisor kim and if it require another week, we could always continue it again. supervis

supervisor wiener said it's very important that he tripled the size of his districts. but in my districts i have the motorbike man's wharf and we've got make sure that our wharf is safe. i'm happy to announce we're talking about a new you community

so, i won't reiterate the problems with supervisor wiener's legislation. at the 11th hour, we have heard from the planning department that certain thing would be, would be asked of you to amend the legislation. it seems to me that supervisor wiener has been so concerned with having this chaotic process of c-e-q-a, but he has introduced a chaotic process in trying to amend c-e-q-a. so, i am very disturbed by the whole process. now you have another -- if we have another competing piece of legislation that's going to come before the board of supervisors, and i would ask you to hold off oncoming to any conclusion about this legislation. and i would hope that you would do more work on this by looking at supervisor kim's legislation before you make any kind of decisions. but thank you very much. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment? ~ on this item? okay, seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner borden. >> yeah, i want to thank everyone who has participated in the process and supervisor wiener for engaging with the community around c-e-
