And just say, i have a few slides from some of the cleanups that our newest staff member has been conducting. You can see that these plastic bags that are supposed to be reusable are also being considered litter. They are easily littered. We do need to get people to have an incentive for people to bring, to switch to the truly reusable bags. Thank you very much. Good afternoon chair peskin, supervisor brown and haney. My name is kathy brown and i work for the general manager there, we are a manufacturer of the supermarket packaging, the reusable bag as well as the precheckout bag. I am here in support of supervisor browns ordinance, much to probably my surprise and others. We manufacturer Sustainable Packaging items including compostable precheckout bags. We can work with your department of environment to ensure that the bags fit in the compost pile and to ensure there is an Education Program so that consumers know how to properly use and dispose of the compostable produce back. We have worked with the city of seattle to change the green color to blue so that is not mistaken with compostable. Happy to work with you on all kinds of options in order to move forward with moving towards zero waste solution. I wont debate the merits of the plastic reusable bag. I think there is a lot of merits to them. I also know the number that certainly the heavy plastic reusable bag has reduced the number of bag, as a bag manufacturer i can certainly testify it has reduced the number of bags. I am here in support of the ordinance. Thank you very much for your time. Any other members of the public here for item number four . Seeing none. We will close close Public Comment. I was here for around one, back in the days and i am ready for behavior modification in round two. Lets send this to the full board with recommendation without objection . That would be the order. Read items five and six together. The resolution declaring the intent of the board of supervisors to order the street vacation for the entirety of seawall lot 337, and portions of terry a francois boulevard along with Public Service easements in connection with a mission rock project, and setting a hearing date for the board of supervisors to sit as a committee of the whole on september three, 2019 at three p. M. Item number six is ordinance ordering the street vacation of the entirety of seawall lot 337 and portions of terry a francois boulevard along the Public Service easements in connection with a mission rock project reserving various temporary rights and official acts. Supervisor haney you have brought these items to this committee. The floor is yours we had thank you. I am a cosponsor of this legislation which we have agreed, this is in relation to a part of San Francisco project in partnership with the San Francisco giant, mission rock. It is a mixed use development that has been in the planning process for over 10 years. This is street vacation legislation. I think chair peskin, you are familiar about this project. I want to move the resolution of intent forward to the board with a positive recommendation, and move the ordinance which is item 6 forward without recommendation to the board for the september three meeting which is the technical process for street vacation legislation. I believe there is still some folks here from the port if we have any questions . I dont think we have any questions from anybody else. Is there any Public Comment on items five and or 6 . Untran glad you are here. This is your chance to make some points of me. I want you to understand this mission rock, first of all before you throw it to further dispute, you have a problem. This mission rock is supposed to be Affordable Housing, 40 percent, for low income are very low Income Project people. That big bank of information says to the subdivision, section 3 three four one three of the Community Redevelopment law, at least 15 percent of all brandnew rehabilitative dwellings, units, developments within the plan area to the public or private entities and persons other than the agency shall be available Affordable Housing costs for families a very low, and low and moderate income not less than families, 40 percent, very low and low to moderate income shall be available, Affordable Housing costs to very low income households. You violated that in the contract that you and San Francisco giant, and can put together by pricefixing and making the low income to be a tenant in the building at 36,300 dollars per year, its only two percent of the 40 percent pot. 10 percent is at 44,400 dollars. And then 17 percent is 96,050 dollars per year, 70 percent of the 40 percent that is supposed to be for very low and income people is at one 21,000 dollars per year. You are violating your own instructions pertaining to mission rock. To say you go any further talking about a vacation spot, you need to put this on the agenda and correct that [bleep] up. That intentional scandalous procedure. If you could try to keep your language, in these chambers all right. Your time is up. Is there any other Public Comment on items 5 or 6 . Public comment is closed. When any departmental staff like to add anything to the cosponsors presentation . No. All right, we will send these items, item 5 to the full board with recommendation, item 6 without recommendation, that will be the order of this committee. Madame clerk read item number 7, please . To specify the date for the ordinance to september three. Tuesday, september three. Yes. Ordinance amending the planning code to enable the use of Development Project sites during the project approval and entitlement process by authorizing the Planning Department to authorize certain interim activities at Development Project sites as temporary uses for up to 36 month, subject to extension at the discretion of the planning director in increments for up to a maximum possible total of 36 additional month; adopting findings. Is there any Public Comment on this item . Development project you are talking about on this item, the same demonstration that i put before you before. All developments and government private buildings are supposed to be 15 percent for very low and low income that is not what this item is about, mr. Rice. Talking about development. It is interim uses, but go ahead. Are talking about uses of properties. Not her housing. Interim uses while sites are under the permit process. Will i still want to highlight all my other issues. With this time that i got related, i believe you should address that issue, because youve got a problem. It is discrimination in housing. Youre not following your own rules and regulations pertaining to that Redevelopment Agency rules and then have other situations where you use parts of the same administrative code and try to pertaining to redevelopment. Using regulations that you favor for high income bracket people. When you get a situation that favors the low income bracket people, he refused to use it. I want to highlight that to you, to make sure that you correct this problem. Heres your chance to have that heard, this hearing coming up pertaining to mission rock and the rest of the building complexes that are being in the pipeline and the past Apartment Building complex that is being built. Now that my demonstration has finally come to the light. Now you want to just, for low income brackets and Senior Citizens that have not been afforded the housing opportunity. Like i said, what i call this to your problem years ago, though Senior Citizens while they were younger, should have been included in the housing opportunity would be vulnerable and at this condition at this stage in their life. It is up to you to make a lot of points and correct this. This should be heard on the hearing that is coming up pertaining to mission rock. All right. We will close Public Comment. You are a member of the public by not speaking as a member of the public. You are speaking in official capacity. Public comment is closed on items 7. We are working with the Mayors Office on some amendments. We will continue this, but you may say whatever you and your department want to say. Thank you. I wanted to give, and Case Planning is not able to be here for the continued item, the recommendation from the commission. This item was heard on april 25, in order to approve with modifications they recommended modifications were to amend the requirements to increase residential density to instead require an increase in residential density only if there is insisting residential onsite and to clarify the language in section 205 point five about interim activities stating a should be retail sales and service for industrial uses rather than just retail or industrial uses. That was the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Thank you. So, i will make a motion to continue this item until after the summer recess given our handful of meetings that are left before the summer recess. I will make a motion to continue this to september nine. We will take that without objection. Madame clerk, i would like to make a motion to rescind the vote on item number four, and we will take that without objection. The item has been already read, i dont think you need to read it again. I believe supervisor brown wanted to make a number of amendment that are relatively de minimis that she passed out. But she did not ask the committee to adopt. I would like to do that now and make a motion at page 3, line 1719 to delete the finding that is under letter k and reletter the remaining findings accordingly. And then to modify the finding on page 4, lines 46, sub oh two read at the Global Climate action summit in september of 2010, mayor breed updated the zero waste goal by [inaudible]. Finally, on page 4, line 16 through 24, relative to the definition of compostable precheck out bags, change the definition to read, means a precheck out back that conforms to minimum standards of the california labeling law and Public Resources code, as may be amended meets current astm d 6400 standard specs for compost ability and is labeled as needing the standards by recognized thirdparty independent verification entity such as biodegradable product institute, is green and color throughout and has a minimum 15 inch mouth to fit most kitchen compost pails and is clearly labeled compostable in a highly visible manner on the outside of the bag and meets all of the requirements the department may set forth. 60 days notice based on environmental events, because the market availability.

What happened in oregon started with a rent cap of 7 . I know we have some laws here in california part of the protect, preserve, and produce. New york, when i was gone, actually had a sweeping rent law passed. Ill just read a couple of excerpts from june 19, 2019. Just imagine hearing these words from california and imagine that you could have this great leap of faith. New york law makers three fridays ago passed a package of sweeping rent Protection Laws and dealt a blow to the states most powerful Real Estate Industry. The law signalled a Seismic Shift not only in relationship between tenants and landlords, but also in the power balance of albany. Try to put the word sacramento in there. Where deep pocketed developers had enjoyed strength and influence. The Real Estate Industry had lobbied fiercy against the proposed changes, warning they would discourage landlords from investing in properties and award thousands of contractors of jobs. Their appeals met skepticism from the legislature. For far too long, this legislature gave landlords tools to game the system, referring to the years of alliance between the industry and republican law makers. In a radio interview on friday before the bills passage, govern Governor Cuomo said, at the beginning of the legislative session, i called for the most sweeping protections in state history he said in a statement. Im confident the measure passed today is the strongest possible set of reforms that the legislature was able to pass and a major step forward for the tenants across new york. Can you imagine that happening in this state . I think its a dream, but i think we can actually get there someday. Secondly, while i was away, and not coincidentally, we heard the thursday i was here last the large home piece of legislation proposed by supervisor safai on the number of homes in a conditional use requirement exceeding a certain number of bedrooms. I dont know where it ended up in the land use, if its been heard yet or not. As well, i wasnt here for the marathon demolition hearing, which im glad i probably wasnt. I did watch the whole 5. 5 hours on sfgov on tape. There is a nothing burger bill from senator scott wiener. On march 27, he morphed it into a cosmetology bill, requiring the cosmetology board to update the address of a licensee if the address changed. Then, when he substantial amended it, he replaced it entirely with some of the text of sb 50. It includes singlefamily homes, a. D. U. S, and additions to singlefamily homes. I would request that this commission ask staff what the Impact Analysis would be, one, in the workload of the department, whether it goes down or up in terms of making additions to singlefamily homes, especially bedrooms, redefining the division of what a unit is, if it doesnt become a unit, it becomes a bedroom, on
