Supervisor yee im going to call on the author. Supervisor mandleman thank you. Thank you for your engagement with my office over the weekend. I think several of us will be offering amendments to this legislation today. I have a couple. They are shown on this document that has been handed out by the clerk. My changes relate to two things. One is grandfathering in applications that were submitted prior to january 15, 2019, when we submitted this legislation. And then the other is to exempt out the Bernal Heights special use district, at the request of the district nine office. Requesting amendments from section 261. 1 controls, which apply to additional height limits for narrow streets and alleys. Those are the two things that i wanted to amend. I know there are others. Supervisor yee is our second for that . Seconded by supervisor ronen. Hopefully we will all accept these amendments. Supervisor peskin . Supervisor peskin i would like to reinsert, and this was actually in the legislation and then was taken out of the legislation which means it will not have to be re referred or require any more public comment. Which is to add residential mix use districts of which i know there are a lot. The city commonly known as district three, as well as other districts. I think it is a good change to section 26, 261. 1, applying standards to secondstory setbacks along alleyways and narrow streets. I would ask that page 16, lines 416 section b, subsection 2, subsection b, that any frontage reinsert rm and make that same corresponding change. Also on page 16, subsection c, the controls in this section shall apply, et cetera. That would be my motion which i have discussed with the maker and is acceptable to him. Supervisor yee okay. Thank you. I just wanted to thank supervisor mandleman making an exception for Bernal Heights. It is one of the neighborhoods with the highest concentration of narrow streets. For that reason had a special sed. I want to thank you for taking that into consideration and thank you for agreeing to do that. Supervisor yee i want to thank supervisor mandleman for this legislation. While i support the general intent of this legislation, i would like to offer a friendly amendment. We have heard from some of my Community Members that there is a concern over elimination of 311 notifications of residential roof height increases to assisting stories. While many of these changes may not be significant, impacts could vary from project to project. For instance these height changes or roof adjustments could impact light exposure. In these instances neighbor should be made aware so they can work with the project sponsor to solve their concerns or get therefore i am proposing to retain guidelines for 311 notifications as they are currently in place. The amendments would be to strikethrough lines 912 on page one. Lines 23 and 24 on page 13 and lines 2223 on page 17. Colleagues, i hope you will be supportive of this minor amendment to keep 311 vacations consistent. Okay . So, there has been im sorry. Could you reiterate the last change . Supervisor yee the amendments, it is a strikethrough lines 912 on page one. And then line 2324 on page 13. And lines 22 and 23 on page 17. Thank you. Supervisor yee there has been three individuals making motions. Supervisor ronan would you like to be second on all three . Thank you. Colleagues . Two of the amendments conflict with another, one of the amendments adds the provision with regards to specified alterations and the other strikes that language. Am i missing something . The First Amendment included a subsection six. Not subject to 311 notice, and then the third amendment strikes that language for you to something . Deputy City Attorney john gartner. The double underline section number six in the long title. Was added as an amendment in committee. That is reflected in the document supervisor amanda meant supervisor thank you for that. Supervisor yee there has been amendments proposed and made motions for an seconded, all three seconded by supervisor ronen. Can we take these amendments without objection . Can we take this item as amended same house, same call . Okay. This ordinance has passed. Our First Reading as amended unanimously. Lets go to item 34.
