State owned land. The legislation were considering today is a sensible expansion of the planning code that will allow for Farmers Markets to seek authorization to open on other public facilities, such as city and state owned lands. We currently allow intermittent activities like Farmers Market at hospitals and postsecondary institutions and its surprising we dont allow them on other Government Owned Properties like the d. M. V. Parking lot on baker street. The Farmer Market has contracted with the d. M. V. , but it could not make the move under current zoning. Making this change today will allow the market to expand and serve the interests of the residents of district 5. The Pacific CoastFarmers Market association is a good neighbor. And theyve created markets that are accessible to all. Every vendor at this market accepts snap benefits and the market managers are considered members of the community. This move and expansion theyre proposing has the full support of the northern of the panhandle neighborhood association, in addition, merchants such as biright market. It will reopen grocery on sunday, providing relief to folks on grove who have to make contingency plans for accessing their homes every weekend. Finally, the move of this market will activate a space in district 5 that is not currently being used on sunday. We should celebrate the success of Farmers Markets. They promote healthy eating, create Community Spaces and increase the walkability of our neighborhoods. The code update were considering today will create additional Farmers Markets to open in the parking lots of our schools, museums, and public facilities. I hope you will join me today in voting yes on this sensible update that will benefit all san franciscans. President yee can we take this same house, same call .

Its ordinance to amend the administrative code to create an office of Racial Equity as a division of the Human Rights Commission department. President yee okay. Supervisor fewer . Supervisor fewer thank you very much, president yee. I want to first acknowledge this week were celebrating the 55th Year Anniversary of the human rights president yee excuse me, supervisor fewer, do you want to oh, im sorry. I thought we called 54 to 57. Just item 54. Okay, thank you. F supervisor fewer i want to acknowledge we are celebrating the 55th year of the Human Rights Commission. The same year that the Civil Rights Act was passed. As the director explained yesterday, the founding of the Human Rights Commission came in response to explicit antiblack racism in San Francisco and the organizing to fight such racism. Considering this history, it is fitting that our legislation to establish an office of Racial Equity is voted on during the same week we celebrate this legacy, to continue and refocus our efforts to address racism in the city. Im proud of this legislation that finally makes a real commitment in San Francisco to adjust Racial Disparities in our city that have deepened over generations. There is deep racism in the country, causing harm to communities of color over hundreds of years and San Francisco was not an exception to the history. Historic race based racism has manifested in destructive policies like creating obstacles for chinese residents from owning business. The racial segregation of neighborhoods. The internment of japanese americans and the destruction of black neighborhoods in the name of urban renewal. Now Racial Injustice appears differently. It is not exclusion policies, but rather in the inaction of the government to address and correct these pastimes done. And this has led to worsening disparities for black san franciscans, as well as latin, asian, arab communities in the area of housing, income, economic security, health, criminal justice, education and so much more. So today, this board will take action to address structural racism. Our legislation will require a citywide Racial Equity plan with identified outcomes and accountability for departments and tool for analysis pending legislation at the board of supervisors among other measures and it establishes office of Racial Equity to oversee all of this work. This legislation was drafted and amended with input from city workers, and nonprofit organizations. It is long past due that they renew their commitment to civil rights. And the new office will hold us accountable as a city to make sure that everyone who lives here has an equitable opportunity to life to. Thank you for my partner in this legislation supervisor brown, and her fabulous staff. I want to extend my profound thanks to my legislative aide chelsea for her diligence and persistence to craft legislation that sets a foundation for Racial Equity in the city. Thank you to my cosponsors for your support. Supervisor walton, mandelman, ronen, mar. And the Human Rights Commission for their support in the drafting process. And thank you to all of the members to have the public who came out to support and shared their stories. We know this is not a Silver Bullet for racism, but it is a critical, long overdue step toward Racial Equity. Thank you. [please stand by] in california, and throughout the United States, we have seen a genocidal history with our native and indigenous communities, which is included exportation and a loss of land, culture, and language. This history was made possible by the state laws and policies. This city was built on that history and those policies. We need to atone for this harm. There is no simple solution to undo this pain. This will take continued organizing and work on behalf of our board, working handinhand with our local community. We need to acknowledge and address our past harm for a more hopeful future, and we also need better policies and funding to combat deep disparities in housing, health care, education, transportation, and employment. I hope that we can Work Together to take this first step and pass this legislation thinking. Supervisor walton . Thank you. I want to thank the supervisors and all the cosponsors for working hard to set up this office of Racial Equity, and as we continue to attempt to address the injustice and inequalities that exist in our city and work to achieve tangible outcomes from recommendations from reports such as the unfinished agenda and the outmigration report, this will finally give us a formal platform to adequately address these recommendations and requires Department Heads to respond with concrete plans to address race issues that exist in our city. Theres more work to do, but this office calls out racial inequities and will affect systemic change. Thank you for everyone supporting this. Okay. Colleagues, can we take this same house, same call .

Colleagues, can we take this item same house, same call . Without objection, these ordinances are passed on First Reading unanimously. Madame clerk, please call the next item. Fiftyeight through 63 were considered by the land use and Transportation Committee at a regular meeting on monday, july 22nd. Item 58 was not forwarded to the board. Item 59, mr. President , this item is an ordinance that amends the planning and administrative code to establish a legitimization program for certain nonresidential uses at 3150 18th street and requires the office of Small Business to assist businesses under the program and affirms the ceqa determination. This item was recommended as a mended and incorporates new language from committee. Colleagues, supervisor ronen . Thank you. Colleagues, in january, dozens of Small Businesses with active space learned they were facing displacement and finds due to violations of existing zoning regulations. These businesses are very small, owner operated enterprises and most of them are health and personal Services Including acupuncturists, massage practitioners and tattoo artists i was extremely concerned for the owners so i held two Community Meetings with the tenants, quickly introduced this legislation in my office personally connected the tenants to followup. Closing nearly 100 Small Businesses on the same block, all at once, would be an economic crisis for the mission, a neighborhood already suffering from the displacement of hundreds of Small Businesses. The ordinance that i have authored will prevent the displacement of these businesses were providing them with amnesty under the planning code. It will allow businesses currently operating in active space, a building that is zoned p. D. R. , to be considered legal, nonconforming uses, so they can remain in the building as long as they felt appropriate application. While this legislation is about saving businesses, i want to be clear that i am also actively working to protect arts and manufacturing spaces. Light manufacturing spaces provide san franciscans with important bluecollar jobs. The mission is one of the few districts whether p. D. R. Zoning exists and we must protect these hardtofind spaces. I can go into detail about what the legislation does, but i will spare you unless you have questions. I just wanted to thank the tenants who have been in communication with our office and have helped us to find this work and this solution. I want to thank the city departments and staff that have been working with my office for the past six months to come up with this solution, including the director and the office of Small Business. Our zoning administrator, and department staff, and the department of building inspection, as well as the department of public health, with particular thanks to stefani and jen. Finally, i want to thank carlee number alice from my office. It is no small feat to organize and work with hundreds of businesses that are in panic of losing their space, and she was on the phone and meeting with these businesses nonstop for months on end. Thank you so much, carlee not. I also want to thank my cosponsors as well as the Land Use Committee for unanimously supporting this item. I hope you will support it as well. Thank you so much.
