Respectively. Thank you. And i believe that you have assumed sponsorship of this item. Thank you. Im going to ask kaniska from mark ferrells office sorry to say a few words and talk about continuing this item. On behalf of former supervisor mark ferrell. Thank you for hearing this item today. We have been working with the neighbourhood and the sponsors of this project for over two years and were looking forward to having it heard today. But we need to have amendments drafted to accept the Planning Commissions recommendations. Unfortunately those arent ready today so respectfully ask for a continue wants to next weeks land use hearing. Ok. Thank you. And deputy city attorney, should we send you the language or would you like us to read into the record what were asking for today . Deputy city attorney, john gibner. Its really up to you. Were working with your office and the Mayors Office on these amendments for next week. You can discuss them today. You dont have to and we will have something prepared for you next week to discuss and vote on. Ok. Let me just look at one quick thing. Would you like me to go to Public Comment first . Yes. Why dont with do that. Lets go to Public Comment on item one. Seeing none, Public Comments closed. Great. Thank you. So, im just going to read what we like and then we can send it over to you. So we would essentially ask for increase of the required inclusionary housing requirement from 18 to 23 and broken down as follows. 10 pktz at 55 a. M. I. , 4 at 40 a. M. I. , 4 at 110 a. M. I. And 5 at 120 a. M. I. And then theres one last thing that i think we can talk about or that can be sent over regarding Parking Spaces. I think we were talking about four of the 16 offstreet Parking Spaces be reserved for car share as long as Car Share Service providers are able to provide services in those spaces. So well send you over the exact language. But the a. M. I. S, this is something that has been negotiated over the last number of months with the community and organized labour groups and the Supervisors Office and staff and so this is the consensus agreement. So, well have that language for next week. So, when we do National Convention amendment next week, it will be made for the first time and then we have to vote on it again or will we be introducing it for the first time in that form so we get an idea of the timing . You can vote on those amendments next week. The amendments will trigger a oneweek continuance. So this item would be at land use next week and then the following week as well. Ok. Thank you. So i have nothing else. Chair . All right. So i think there is a motion to continue, then, this item . Yes. Motion to continue this item. All right. Well do that without objection. Item two, please. That matter will be continued one week to february 5 is my understanding. Yeah. Next monday. February 5. Thank you. Item two, please. Next on the agenda, item number two. Removing the requirement that onsite is and offsite inclusionary units within a new development be ownership units rather than rental unit0ser alternately that the sponsor project [inaudible] proposed offsite or onsite units are except from the costa hawkings rental housing act. Thank you. Supervisor peskin . Thank you, chair tang. Last year, the board passed a historic update to our inclusionary Affordable Housing programme as we all know and we worked on that and that set the highest Affordable Housing requirements in the country, including new levels for middle income housing. That local victory was followed in the last legislative session in sacramento by the passage of Assembly Bill 1505, also known as the palmer fix. Which restores the citys ability to require onsite and offsite inclusionary Affordable Housing in rental housing projects without the need for the development to fit into an exception to costa hawkins in requiring a costa hawkins agreement. Ab1505 has been a long time in the making. I actually want to thank our assembly and Senate Delegation for supporting Assembly Member blooms not only in this instance, but also in another critical housing measure. Ab1506. But ab1505 rectified the loophole that has bound San Francisco to a fee first requirement which has made the creation of onsite inclusionary, or for that matter offsite inclusionary housing a secondary option hindering what i think is all our policy goal, which is to encourage and incent as much onsite Affordable Housing in new developments as possible. With the passage of that bill, we now have the ability to condition Development Approval on the amount of affordable rental housing being built on site as long as developers are provided with additional options for complying with these Affordable Housing requirements make playing an in lieu fee or building the Affordable Housing offsite. Given that ab1505 went into effect 29 days ago on the first of this year, i introduced this legislation before you today which merely conforms our local inclusion nicer programme with these new palmer fix provisions. This went before the Planning Commission and mr. Starrs memorandum which indicates that it was unanimously approved, albeit i did catch one typo where you referred to it as 1515 instead of 1505, i just want to let you know i read your memo, aaron. And we asked the Commission Also to consider minor technical amendments specifically to conform section 124. I would also like to make a motion to replace reference to the Redevelopment Agency in section 406. To ocii and departments of homelessness in support of housing which will be subsidizing 100 Affordable Housing in the future. The Planning Commission recommended approval and id like to make the following amendment as a result on page 13, section 124 sub 1, strike if any designated unit will be rental units, the project sponsor must follow the procedures in section 415. 5 subg, sub2 as provided in that subsection, the planning director or director of mhocd may execute such an agreement under the terms specified in section 415g2 on line 16 is through 19. And then in section 406, 1b, and i have just put the language before you, is where is where the department of homelessness in support of housing and the office of Community Investment and infrastructure commonly referred to as ocii or any future Successor Agency to those listed herein. So subject to Public Comment, i would like to make those motions and help move our onsite, offsite Affordable Housing and rental property policy forward. Any other comments . Ill ask my question. Ill ask my questions after. All right. Lets open up item two to Public Comment. Unless Planning Department staff would like the speak first . Good afternoon, supervisors. Carly grove, departments staff. Nothing really to add, but to make myself available for questions. Supervisor peskin gave a great overview. Just want to reiterate that the commissioners unanimously approved the modifications to the inclusionary Housing Programme on january 11. So, im available for any questions. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. So at this time, well open up item two to Public Comment. All right. Seeing no members of the public, then Public Comment is closed. Supervisor . I just read through it further. Im fine. Thank you. All right. Supervisor peskin . I would like to make a motion to send this item to the full board with recommendation. All right. And well do that without objection. Item three, please. Next on the agenda, item number three. Ordinance including underground district 361 on Second Street from brian street to townsend street. Thank you. Thank you. And i dont see anyone from supervisor kims office. But please proceed. All right. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is mike krieger, project manager, San Francisco public works. Im the project manager for the Second StreetImprovement Project, which is in San Francisco soma and Financial School districts for markets to king street. Im going to give a presentation about the project overall and then discussion about the reasons behind this undergrounding ordinance that were proposing. Second street Improvement Project has been a project since 2006 when it was identified as a priority in the San Francisco bicycle plan. Since then, San Francisco public works and m. T. A. P. U. C. , s. F. Planning, caltransand sfhwa have been working in partnership to get this project to move forward. We are currently in construction for the Second Street construction project. The major goals for the project are to improve safety along the corridor, provide a more attractive, pedestrian environment, provide a dedicated bicycle facility as identified in the San Francisco bicycle plan and sa f. A. A. Sill tate muni operations. Facilitate muni operations. Key elements include repaving Second Street from market to king street. Curb ramp upgrades. Pedestrian improvements, including widened sidewalks, traffic signal upgrade, raised crosswalks at all alleys, new bicycle facility, landscaping, streetscape amenities, including pedestrian lighting, trash ceptacles and utility undergrounding. The existing conditions of Second Street, this section that were showing here shows the Cross Section from harrison to townsend streets where the undergrounding district is being proposed. The right of way 128 1 2feet wide. So, part of the reason that were proposing the undergrounding of the utilities on second sfraoet is due to the fact that in this segment, the sidewalks are 10 feet wide on both sides of the street. And we are going to be widening the sidewalks from harrison to townsend to 15 feet in order to match the existing Cross Section north of harrison. Because we will be tearing up all of the existing sidewalks and much of the roadway im sorry. [inaudible]. Sure. Yeah. Sure. Sorry about that. Because we are expanding the sidewalks to 15 feet on both sides from harrison to townsend street, we will be tearing up the rightofway and part of the street to regrade the sleep slopes and the existing utilities from bryant to townsend, we found this would be a key opportunity to underground those utilities. And currently on Second Street, the eightblock stretch, there are only two blocks of overhead utilities existing. The rest of the overhead utilities on Second Street are already undergrounded. This section here shows the proposed final product of the street. You can see that the sidewalks would be widened to 15 feet on both sides. And well be putting in raised cycle tracks for bicycles that are buffered and then generally across Second Street, well be reducing the travel lanes from two traffic lanes northboundsouthbound to one traffic lane northboundsouthbound. In this rendering, you can see at second and south park, you can see there on the east side of the street, those existing overhead utilities. This is sort of an afterrendering and this was done prior to the utility undergrounding being identified as an improvement. The utilities are still there in that afterphoto. But you can see the sidewalks are widened, the cycle track and bus boarding goes to facilitate muni. This is another existing condition photo. Here the sidewalks are 10 feet wide. This is near townsend street. And the after shows the widened sidewalk, the new cycle track. Again, to implement this, we do need to tear up all the existing sidewalks and part of the roadway. So, its an ideal opportunity to underground those utilities. So the ordinance that were looking to pass encompasses the district between bryants and townsend street. This diagram shows the area going a little bit north of bryants street and that is because theres existing wires for the pg e poles that go almost to stillman. And in this district, the overhead Utilities Service seven properties, six Property Owners, one Property Owner owns two buildings in this district. Just going through the undergrounding process, from may of 2012 to may 2013, we held four Major Community outreach meetings. From that process, there was a request to underground these utilitis from the two blocks in question. In december of 2016, supervisor kims office sent to affected Property Owners in the district. May 2017, public works held an undergrounding district hearing for this area. Public comment received. There was only one Property Owner present to state that they were in favour of the district. In terms of responses from Property Owners that ive received personally, a lot have called with questions. However, they are generally supportive. I have not received comment from any Property Owners not in support. June 2017, the undergrounding district was approved by a public works director. In november of 2017, the undergrounding district ordinance was introduced at the board. In terms of project funding, the Second StreetImprovement Project was approximately 20 million. We have a combination of funding source, including federal assistance from fwha to the 1 bay area grant which is processed by the escta. And we values propk matching dollars and eastern neighbourhood and district dpunlzing to fund the undergrounding costs we requested 2 million from the eastern neighbourhoods and received approved recommendation for those funds. And Property Owners would pay the cost for the conversion of overhead to underground service. Ill open it up to questions. Thank you. I was just wondering, what is the timeline so it looks like per your funding slide that all the funding has been identified for the project. So, what is the timeline for actual construction beginning . So, as i mentioned, the project is under construction currently. We segmented the project into four segments. So right now, our contractors working on Second Street from townsend to king which does not include any undergrounding as well as second from market to fullsome which also is already underground. So, the segment from bryants to townsend is not scheduled to begin until after the giants season ends this october 2018. So we hope to begin the process of creating the new joint trench for underground utilities in october of 2018. So, what is the completion date for all of it . The entire project should be done approximately november 2019. Ok. Thank you. Colleagues, any questions on this item . No . Questions . I have a couple of questions. Just from looking at your presentation, it this work is happening no matter what. So, the work is already happening. You are doing the improvements. Is there any additional cost to the taxpayers for undergrounding or is it the adjacent Property Owners paying for this . Theres no additional cost to taxpayers based on the undergrounding. Again, the funding for the undergrounding and creating that joint trench is funded by those impact fees from eastern neighbourhoods. So, all costs outside of that would be provided by Property Owners for that connection. As i said, theres only seven properties. I get it. But my point is that if you chose not to underground, would you be saving 2 million of those impact fees and you could utilize them in another area . Those impact fees would potentially be reprogrammed for some other use in the eastern neighbourhoods. Right. So that is 2 million to do two blocks of undergrounding. Correct. So, it is a cost to the taxpayers. Yes. One way or another. 2 million. Ok. Thank you. Undergrounding is very expensive. All right. So, with that, then, well go to Public Com
