Revegetated with natives. You get the idea that its going to be an exponentially more of an exponentially increasing function sooner rather than later. And finally, well end with some of the work that weve been doing on the ground currently with rubicon landscape. Theyre our master landscapers, as youre aware. We really over the last 2. 5 years have developed a Good Relationship with lourdes, their manager. They do do existing groundwork for us. Weve gotten them into a seasonal maintenance where they remove the invasive. They do work on kind of a regular management schedule. Peter and i also work with the citys i. P. M. Coordinator in making sure that rubicon stays in compliance with the i. P. M. Ordinance and implements that into their training opportunities. Over the last several years, they dont apply herbicide as part of their programs anymore. We felt that overall consistent with the citys i. P. M. Ordinance directives, which is to use application as a last resort, that was an environmental benefit. We were able to work with them on changing it and hopefully to the benefit of everyone on the island. And then finally, weve been working with them as i talked about earlier on the stewardship segment, a variety of demonstration gardens on y. B. I. I think were trying to get more participation from different segments of the community, but if theyre driving by them and learning from them, thats a good thing, as well. Just this last weekend, we had a removal party, removing the ivy from outside the Treasure Island gym and replacing them with natives. This is what they look like. We expect them to fill in and provide some nice environment there. This is one that we basically developed in a small little patch of otherwise unused land, sort of right outside the g. A. A. Field and the Treasure Island playground outside from araceli cafe. Theres some blooming daisy, some other ones, as well, that adds a little bit of curb appeal with y. B. I. Natives. And the one we did before the Treasure Island gardens last year was right outside the ship shape on sort of the Southern Side of the building. We worked with sherry and alex and cheryl at the ship shape to fill in this sort of southern walkway with y. B. I. Natives and thats coming along nicely, as well. I think at this point, i know that peter has a few things to add, and so ill toss it over to him, and then, well both take questions. Yeah. Peter, i did not know you were a naturalist. Every memo i get from you, fantastic. Nice presentation. Yeah. So jump in any time with questions. Peter brastaugh. Last week, i did kind of my full whirlwind presentation to the board, so its nice to dig in a little deeper. I think peter wanted me to cover just a few more things and highlight all of this work the way that this work on Treasure Island, yerba buena fits in in the context of the resolution that we passed last year. So peter has been coming pretty much religionly to our Interagency Working Group meetings around biodiversity for several years. Hes been a trafferrific collaborator at the city level and talk about all of the work that were doing citywide. And he did highlight one of the things that were working on in the Biodiversity Agency working group, one of the things that we highlighted in our presentation was it last week . Yeah, last week or two weeks ago was the supply of our native local plants. So lets bring yerba buena down to Treasure Island. So if we do that, weve got to figure out how were going to create that supply. So were going to focus on that problem and come up with solutions in the interagency group. And i think as it relates to Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island, its a really exciting opportunity. So the site where the building is now, theres a buildout next to that diagonal building, its nice and large. Theyve got space there, but according to the Timeline Development and according to how the timeline proceeds, they may not be able to say there much more than a year. Its not totally clear. So wheres the next temporary location for that . And then, also, where can we think longterm in terms of this function and how do we arrange that mechanically and functionally and everything as peter alluded to . When you look at the ideas, the urban farm area, huge area, many acres, so we might want to think about that related to this function. Also just want to highlight the work that we did with writing that tenpage memo that was basically bob asked me to look at all of the documents related to sustainability and open space on Treasure Island, so i did, and we expected it last week as part of the packet, but it really, again, highlights if we want to have this sustainability vision, this vision of sustainable Treasure Island and increased resident sense of place, we need to use native plants to do this. So the whole idea of a nursery ties in really well with putting that product forward and encouraging all of our partners to use that as a guide book for landscaping in the environment. So finally sorry if im talking too long. Peter gave you a nice, thorough presentation, but i also wanted me to fill in a little on the two of the sort of o. N. M. Habitats. So one is the ongoing maintenance of all these places for the invasive plants. So letters from brown justices contractor from the developer to grow plants for eight acres. Weve got the nimitz that came online. The whole island, its a gigantic disturbance, which we love. Its a great opportunity because its a great opportunity to bring people to the island to get involved, but its a real challenge cthat we have to rise to. So just want toded to highligh that, that thats why were making the effort for that on a small scale right now, but that need is going to increase exponentially as all this new space comes online. Its revegetated, but its exploding exponentially. We talked about priorities in the near term where we want to do these projects, once you complete the individual projects, whether an acre or two acres, so for example, the slope of clippers cove, we want to restore all of that. Theres a lot of nonnative in there, but its a priority because of the connection to the cause way. Its a great opportunity to do that, and make it done right there, so yeah, ill stop. Okay. Peter. Very exciting. Commissioner shen, please . Thank you, both peters. You know, this has been an area that im very interested in is the increasing the biodiversity and the sustainable vision for Treasure Island. I think that is really one of the hallmarks at Treasure Island which actually was recognized and given awards at different levels. I think we even received the reed platinum for new areas. Remind me, peter, what that was. There was a reed designation that we got as a in our land for sustaining sustainability on the island. Reed n. D. In addition to the platinum, yeah. So reed n. D. And also, the fact that we got from the clinton Climate Change award, as well, for our original master plan. So i think these are part of the vision. The question is when we implement, how are we going to do it . And i would say that yes, that implementation and management is important for building the staff. The invasive plants, once they get a foothold, which is why its so important at the beginning once they get a foothold, then the effort and the manpower thats required rises exponentially, so you want to, its front end, as these new areas are being reconstructed, that we have the right people and the right effort involved in keeping these invasives out of Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island. And i agree that the nursery is a great idea especially if theres an interest of how native plants are so important to biodiversity. I think more people, not just us as the public entity, but also private citizens and residents are wanting to do more about planting native piece hes species in their garden so theres a whole biodiversity of life. A nursery makes sense because there is an increasing demand and theres not enough places that are propagating these types of plants, so i would really encourage us to look at that possibility on Treasure Island and what would it take . Well, currently, its under the oversight of l. E. J. And l. E. J. , could you legacy for environmental justice. But definitely, we should look into explore how we can keep the nursery on the island and expand it. Especially after a year we might lose that site, lets look at other possibilities. We do have an area that was meant for an urban farm, and i think this falls right into that category and so some of that space, that can be looked at. So i hope that we would look into that and come back with those possibilities. Absolutely. But looking at the soil, looking at the hydrology, how we do stormwater, runoff, all of that is part of the plan, and certainly integrated Pest Management once we actually have the parks and gardens in operations is so very important. But the soil is particularly important at this time because we are building, and if you dont have the right soil, the right soil mix, the composition of soil, youre never going to get plants to really thrive. So i think we need to work with the Landscape Architect i see somebody is here from c. M. G. To look into what are the specifications for that soil . You know, we have native soil on Yerba Buena Island. Treasure island is disturbed soil because it was fill that was brought in, but certainly, the experts on your team there should be an expert on your team whos looking at what type of soil is being brought in. Sometimes, its construction debris, and they just bring any old soil in, and thats not going to work for the 300 acres of parks and open space that were going to have. Lets make sure that we get the right type of material thats necessary there for this park to thrive. So these are a few of my comments, but i continue to be extremely interested in the topic. I think theres really incredible Educational Value here. We really can show what Treasure Island is doing here. We can collaborate with many institutions in our own stye. The academy of sciences, weve got a board member thats from the academy, the botanical gardens, the exploratorium. I know that i already have collaborations with the golden gate audubon society, and the Educational Value, not just for the city on the island, but its a region, and as a teaching model thats not just for the region but also perhaps nationally, as well, that we are on the cutting edge of this. So thank you, the two of you, and look forward to hearing more as we progress. Thank you. Thank you very much. And i want to just follow up on my fellow commissioner. Everything i mentioned earlier, and i think the commissioners also mentioned, what we are doing at Treasure Island is unlike anything else going on or where or why, and we really need to underscore that. Building a small city within a city, were taking all the problems, all these challenges, Lessons Learned from San Francisco development, and we know that San Francisco is one of the most iconic cities in the world. We have architects, engineers i just mentioned our Landscape Architect martin. We have people that are experienced for me, getting the opportunity to redevelop Treasure Island has come full circle. I worked on the San Francisco environmental sustainability plan. And one of the commissioners and i, we were talking about the sustainable Pest Management. The Treasure Island, as a matter of fact, is the only development that is only the sustainability plan. The late mayor lee actually reached out to all the region of the bay area to remind ourselves, why are we not extending Educational Opportunities to alameda, to all the other regions, to santa clara, to silicon valley. Let all these kids come out, this wonderful vedevelopment oa lifetime for them to see what we are doing here. With regards to the native plant, we need to challenge all of them, because yeah, we will be building a north street. In San Francisco, i remember peter, in your last presentation to the commission for Treasure Island, as you look around the bay area, we have all these native plants. Yeah, we could be a repository now. We have all the experts, and with all the enthusiasm of Peter Summerville and peter, the other peter, i see you guys are working i mean, all this stuff that we are getting from you all the time is less we convene. Less we convene, we interact more with the board of supervisors and everybody in the region. Why dont we convene and brainstorm how we can maximize all these great developments and everything that weve talked about here in order to have the maximum vision that the late mayor lee and including the new one, mayor london breed, can do this . So thats why were all excited about this development here is because when it is done, it will make people want to spend time on Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island that they do in San Francisco or sausalito or anywhere in north america. So keep us posted. And well work with you to do whatever he need. Let me ask public comment, please, on this wonderful presentation. Do you have any ideas you want to relate to us . Okay. None for now. Thats fantastic. Thank you all for your wonderful work on this important project. Kate, the next thing on the agenda. Item 7, discussion of future agenda items for directors. Okay. We will reconvene and thank ahead. Thank you again for the presence of the museum, Treasure Island museum and all of you for sitting through these deliberations. Now you get a glimpse of what we are doing here. We take our jobs here very seriously, our developments. There is no questions we can rebuild the island because we have the professional expertise. But we also know that in order to have a point of destination, we need to look at the legacy and history and put all of those together and thats why all of you will continue to be our partners and much thank you for your presence here today. Meeting adjourned. Welcome to another episode of safety on today is episode well show you how 0 retroactive youre home lets go inside and take a look. Hi and patrick chief officer and director of earthquake for the city and county of San Francisco welcome to another episode of stay safe in our model home with matt well talk about plywood. Great thanks. Where are we we if you notice bare studs those are prone to failure in an earthquake we need to stabilize those they dont lean over and plywood is effective as long as you nail along every edge of the plywood for the framing well nail along the sides and top and on the bottom 0 immediately youll see a problem in a typical San Francisco construction because nothing to nail the bottom of the plywood weve got to wind block between the studs and well secure this to the mud sill with nails or surface screws something to nail the bottom of the plywood. I notice we have not bolted the foundation in the previous episode thorough goes through options with different products so, now we have the blocking well a xoich attach the plywood. The third thing well attach the floor framing of the house above so the top of the braced walls one to have a steel angle on top of this wall and types of to the top of the wall with nails into the top plate and the nails in this direction driving a nail it difficult unless you have a specialized tool so this makes that easy this is good, good for about 5 hundred pounds of earthquake swinging before and after that mount to the face of wall it secures the top of wall and nailed into the top plate of the with triple wall and this gives us a secure to resist the forces. So you now see the space is totally available to dots blocking that he bottom and bolted the foundation in corneas what the code in the next episode youll see you apply patrick. Welcome to another episode of stay safe i saw us prepare our crawl space on this episode well saw the sheer wall youll see the finished product hi, im patrick and welcome to another episode of stay safe . The second part were retrofitting the triple wall as you can see weve installed one of the sheer ply wall on the First Episode we provided blocking to secure the ply wed and bolted and provided the connection with the floor im joined by thor madison. Thor Structural Engineers and thor knows more about sheer walls than anybody ive met in my life. It provides the stable ability that would rock before and after during around earthquake the nails along the edge of the plywood will reduce the chance of the building falling down. What else should we consider in getting ready. One thing about plywood a natural material that absorbs moisture and the panels can swell depending on the moisture if they swell theyll bulk out it is important probation officer leave a gap between the panels so before we install the next panel well drive in a couple of nails used to as temporary spares. What are the nails. 16 penny singers a good saying that and we dont need to be concerned with the exact nail size only the gap the next panel will be held with the existing panel well pull those down. We have peter from the construction why not go outside and cut our second panel so, now weve got the plywood lets go ahead and get it put up see if we can get it in place. By looking at that a perfect fit why not get peter in here to nail it down. So peter did a great job with the nailing but important to know this work requires a permit in the department of building inspection whether youre doing the work or a left hand contractor make sure you have the proper permit and additional to the nailing anything you want to talk about thinking about the plywood. The more plywood to install the better and make sure that the nails along each edge of each panel so you cant forget and hedge and had it perform the same thing.

My mother views education as a bootstrap to hold our family at their education. I am now a Senior Citizen, 67 years old. Ive seen so many things happened. I stand here by gods grace as a homeowner, have a wonderful home, that is just increasing in value. The things that i have been able to accomplish, this is what i want for other people and its just something that can be done. The train has left the station but it is still making stops. From my generation, there is nothing available, the people that are my age, so they didnt plan. Whatever it was, people are where they are now. My generation is in trouble. I like what i see with the agent commission. I just want to help shorten it up. There is nothing new that we need to do. We just need to do what is already there. We need actions and to the plan. We need resources. I thank you so much for this opportunity. My track record is very long.

A lot of these people, you know im old enough to be a grandmother. People are old enough to be your parents. If you live long enough, right, you will be here. We can do something about the quality of life. I love San Francisco. They let the fact that we are growing and breathing. Lets not forget about the elders. And the disabled.

And motion or rejecting the mayors nomination of the appointment of susan dimon to the Planning Commission for a fouryear term ending june 30, 2020. Supervisor ronen hello. We talked on the phone, but i do not see him person. I did not know who i was looking for. Good morning. How are you . Thank you so much for having me this morning. The las vegas at that bar really high. I am susan diamond and im very honored to have been honored by the Planning Commission. Ive long been interested in city planning issues. After graduating from stanford and 79, i obtained a law degree from harvard and a masters degree in city planning from mit. I wanted to live in San Francisco so i took a job with the big San Francisco law firm, practicing landuse law. Representing primarily companies and seeking entitlement for the headquarters and other facilities around the bay area. In 2,003, my 100yearold firm abruptly went bankrupt. It was a brutal wakeup call to me about what was important and how i wanted to devote my energy going forward. I threw myself into Community Life serving as a volunteer board member for the numerous organizations in our community. Two that really resonated at me was jcc of San Francisco for many, mercy housing california because of the work foundations that they do for Community Centers and four Affordable Housing. Two incredibly important needs in our community. Representatives of both are here to speak on my behalf. I also moved into academia, teaching law at Stanford Law School for many years. In 2,011 i decided to combine my skills and my passion for the invaluable work of our nonprofits who fill the gap in our very expensive city for low income families and for my own law firm representing exclusively nonprofits who are undertaking transformative real estate projects. Some of those nonprofits are here to speak, too. The arc of my city planning interest over the years has covered the private sector, community work, academia and the nonprofit sector. The big missing piece for me as Public Sector service. That is why i would like to serve on the Planning Commission. Over the years i have become adept at listening to a large range of views of stakeholders and experience in figuring out how to develop a consensus among various interest including importantly the public interest. This is a big job. A very big job with a great deal of responsibility because Planning Commission decisionmaking affects so many critical aspects of our future. The need for significantly more housing, especially Affordable Housing, and missing middle housing. The impact of the housing on various populations in our city and our need for more transit. It affects our economy, Climate Change, preparedness and the physical form of our city. It would be a true privilege to serve on the Planning Commission. Supervisor ronen thank you so much. I have a few questions that i wanted to ask you, and im sure my colleagues do as well. When we had a chance to talk on the phone a couple weeks ago i had talked to you a lot about what has been happening over the years in the Missions District with the rapid displacement of low and middle income latino members of the community. That same process of displacement is happening in many communities throughout San Francisco, especially with communities of color. We had also talked about the trend coming from the state of this broadbrush approach to development, planning, or really to forcing upon communities, you know, one way of seeing things and how that, you know, comes headtohead with the displacement efforts that we have seen in the mission district. San francisco already has significantly up zoned areas of the city that have happened as a of Community Driven planning processes. Nevertheless we know often Times Developers will continue to forgo less profitable Development Opportunities in areas of the city that havent undergone as Much Development because of popular neighborhoods like the mission district. Those happen to be the neighborhoods that have been reeling from decade upon decade of gentrification and displacement. I dont have a question per se, but this, you know, but keeps me up at night i what i am constantly working on and struggling with as a District Supervisor of the mission. I wanted to hear your thoughts about this major challenge facing our city . I believe that is the number one issue facing our city, and the Planning Commission is one of the two places, ground zero, where we see those issues and that tension. The board of supervisors being the other place of course. A few thoughts. It is important to me that we look at the entire city as a place where we should be increasing housing. Particularly among the commercial corridors. Displacement is a hugely important problem and would need to be thinking not only about the impact of housing proposals and those of my displays, but what additional housing i mean, how do we protect and preserve and take into account the interest of those people who might not otherwise have a place of the table are allowed lot enough voice of the table. I believe that is incumbent upon to take w viewpoint into account when considering projects that are in front of me, or policies that are being set forth for the commission to vote on. It is also important that we are increasing production of housing, and not limited to the Commission Mission district. I think the gary corridor is one of the areas of the city we should be looking at and we need to look at what it is that is preventing developers from wanting to propose projects in that vicinity. We have talked about sp50 which is his very broadbrush approach, he paints with a broad brush, as you said in order to remove what he sees are obstacles. The flip side of it is is we are city of incredible neighborhoods and its not clear that every neighborhood should be given the same broadbrush solution. I do really believe in the intent of the bill which is try to increase housing for all populations across the city. That was a lot of thought. It depends on the project that come in front of me. Those are all of the issues. Believing it is incumbent upon me if i were commissioner to think about those issues. And more specific question along the same thing. What would you do to help fight displacement of low income communities . Particularly communities of color, district nine, the africanamerican community, west of, bayview, the filipino community, the chinese communi community, and chinatown. Do you have any thoughts or ideas of how you might play a roll not that on the Planning Commission . Of course, there are two things. It depends on the individual project that comes front of me and the need and considering those projects in the condition, whether those projects are approved at all. To make sure the needs of those communities are attended to. Its also a policy matter. I believe one of the rules of the commission is to look at the individual projects and see trends that are developing on to with the Planning Department to perhaps propose legislation to the board to take into account the cumulative effect of these individual decisions that are coming forward. Supervisor ronen one more question and then i will hand it off to my colleagues they may have additional questions. Supervisor, let me give you one more example, doug shoemaker is here, mercy housing worked on the sunnydale project, or is still working on the sunnydale one of the aspects of that project that really resonated with me is the opportunity, the redevelopment of that entire community, but the opportunity for residents who currently live there to move back in again. That strikes me as a great approach. It was a long time in the maki making. That is a really great model that i think we need to think about. Supervisor ronen i will ask one more question and then handed over to supervisor mar. Did you support the recent amendments to increase the jobs housing linkage fee . You know, that is an interesting problem. It is clear from the studies that were done, how is it that Office Development does have an impact on housing . Those studies led into different directions. The board of supervisors ended up, if i understand correctly not listening to the advice of the Planning Department, but taking a higher fee than the Planning Department that was appropriate. They were concerned about the impact. You know, i think studies are a really important component of the work that we do. We need to reach out to experts. I also recognize that studies are done by economists and have one perspective they are looking at. We need to balance with the studies say what the political on the ground experience of the people who live there. I think that is what the board of supervisors did when they adopted the higher fees than what was recommended by the Planning Department. I do think it is important to have a long view about this and take a look at what happens when we impose those higher fees, as a stopping development, is that changing the makeup of the tenants who are in those buildings . This is not a oneshot deal. I do believe it is incumbent upon the department, the commission on the board to be monitoring the impacts of what it has been doing and see whether or not more changes are necessary. Supervisor ronen thank you. Supervisor, mar . Supervisor mar thank you so much for your willingness to serve, its an important roll in our city. I really appreciated the opportunity to meet with you a few weeks ago and have an initial discussion about your qualifications and for really important roll. Also have been hearing comments and feedback from our wide range of stakeholders in my district about this appointment, again giving the incredibly important roll that the Planning Commission plays on so many challenging issues in our city right now, at this moment. I did have a few quick followup questions i didnt get a chance to talk to you about when i guess, the first one is around balancing commercial development and Housing Development in our city. I think were all pretty well aware that there has been in fact, a recent report the jobs housing data reported that the Commission Found we created 8. 5 jobs for every housing unit produced a more significantly most of the Housing Units that have been entitled to produced over the last decade have been market rates, and we have been failing miserably at creating the housing needed for workingclass and middleclass in our city. In the context of the Affordable Housing required for the jobs created, and more specifically i dont know if you are aware of the proposed balance housing, Balance Development act that is proposed for the march ballot by Community Advocates and what is your position on that . Having survived, i have multiple viewpoints on this, too. I believe that would be my roll as commissioner to listen to multiple viewpoints. Having survived the. Dot com bust and recession im aware have an economy can change very quickly. I would want to be cautious about turning off more jobs. I believe attention to that part of our economy is important. The flip side of it is, the Current Situation is unsustainable. We not only, you know, are producing enough Affordable Housing. I know from my experience with all of the nonprofit clients whom i would represent or whose boards i serve on, the number one problem theyll face and have in common whether it is schools, Community Centers, the whole gamut. The number one problem is they cannot attract and retain workers because of the cost of housing. Those are people who earn a little too much to be in our definition of Affordable Housing. But way too little to compete with tech workers. That missing middle housing i believe does need attention. We need to understand what our roll as a city in figuring out the economic leverage we can pull in order to increase the production of that kind of housing. I am aware of this, i think you are referring to the proposed legislation that would pays off in his Housing Office housing with Affordable Housing. Im not even show studies have been done around that. I think it is an interesting response that bears for study. I want to make sure that there arent unintended consequences about it. I dont have a position about it at the moment except i understand the motivation behind it, and i think it is interesting as a solution that should be studied. Supervisor mar thank you. One other question, you have a very impressive 30 year history of landuse legal work that afford you former and current clients. Do you intend to recuse yourself when former clients have matters before the Planning Commission . If so, have you prepared a list of former clients and how many former and current clients on the list . Do you feel like it is fair for the rules committee to move your nomination forward
