So today we have a different situation. We have a situation where the landlord and tenants are not the same people or even the same company. So we face the difficult challenge of trying to find a solution to continue a great institution, the flower market, even though there are different interests between the two parties. That being said, we made tremendous progress by resolving the financial terms and the agreement between kilroy, the flower market and the tenants. They are mostly finished, which im happy to say. However, we are not near closure with respect to the design of the physical market. It has always been the understanding by the flower market and by the tenants that one of the Community Benefits that would come with the project was the continuation of the flower market and as john kilroy himself told us, we would have a world class flower market. But as of today, the documents defining the flower market are not yet anywhere near the point where the city ends up with a world class flower market. The detail in these documents has yet to be agreed on, and the process for having kilroy and the tenants be able to agree on them has not yet been defined. Those are important because otherwise how can how can city f identify and resolve the conflicts that we have . So as michael said, weve made progress. Weve solved the economic issues, but we really need these agreements to be [off mic] thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon chair peskin and supervisors. My flame is cole brenen. Im with my name is cole brenen. Im with walk San Francisco. Im here to voice our support for the flower mart project. Over the past 12 months, walk sf has worked with kilroy realty. All three streets surrounding the project site are on the high injury network, the streets most likely to get san franciscans injured or killed. Throughout the design process, kilroy has been receptive to our feedback and collaborative about finding solutions. With more people planning to be walking here than ever before as directed by the central soma plan, it is critical every aspect of the design emphasizes safety for people walking. Kilroys flower mart plan includes wider sidewalks, beautiful places for people to rest and thoughtfully designed pedestrian only paths. It also includes safety improvements such as new midblock crossings and reduced crossing distances through travellane reduction afforded by new street designs. These improvements made this a big win for safer, easier walking. Flower mart will bring many new walk in trips to this neighborhood and walk sf is excited for this project to bring a better walking experience on this walk. We support the new flower mart and we hope for your approval as well. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon. My name is laura. Im a floral designer in San Francisco. Ive had my own business here for 25 years. And im here to represent the stakeholders in this whole project who dont have an actual seat at the table, namely the end users of the San Francisco flower market. I have petitions that were signed. I believe they were scanned into your files, just representing some of the many badge holders, people who have access to the market. And we are the people who absolutely cannot do our jobs without a functioning, modern, accessible flower market. We are the people who worked on thanksgiving while you were enjoying your turkey with your families, to put up the Christmas Decorations you saw when you stepped out the door on friday morning after thanksgiving. We are the people who were there to create the flower arrangements for every wedding, bar mitzvah, church, cultural event and social event in the city. And we are not people with expensive suits or fancy lawyers or a lot of political clout. But we are Small Business owners. We are job creators. We are taxpayers. And we are artisans who make San Francisco beautiful. And we ask that whatever consideration you give to this project you keep in mind that without flower market, we close our doors. So please create something that works for all of us for the future. Thank you so much. Thank you. And i agree with everything that you said except for that you said you do not have political clout. You do have political clout. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is rochelle. Im with the Bay Area Council. We represent civic minded Business Leaders striving to make the bay area the best place to live and work. The flower mart will create thousands of jobs, both permanent and temporary construction jobs. It will also dedicate a parcel of land for Affordable Housing that we desperately need in San Francisco. As well as generating 230 million in impact fees, including 110 million for that Affordable Housing which we need so badly. This is a great project that will not only spur Economic Development and vie it will cree funding for Affordable Housing. In addition to San Franciscos critical housing shortage, the city is experiencing a shortage of office space, resulting in job and revenue losses for the city. The Bay Area Council supports this important project that will bring significant resources to the city and benefit local residents, and we ask yore your aye vote to move this project through today. Thank you. Next speaker. Hello. My name is chris. Im with 350sf and the sf Climate Emergency coalition. I wantedd to take this opportunity to strongly encourage the developer and Property Owner to consider not building this building with new natural gas infrastructure. As we know, we are in a major Climate Emergency right now, methane is responsible for more than a third of our emissions in San Francisco. And we know we need to retrofit at at least a rate of three percent per year. Electric design is cheaper and helps Property Owner avoid stranded assets. The civic gas and Electric Company encourages the halting of new natural gas infrastructure. They prefer to not have to maintain this dangerous infrastructure. And it doesnt cut it anymore in 2019. As the developer moves forward to apply for a building permit, i encourage the city to work with them to implement all electric designs. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. We didnt plan it this way. San francisco Electrical Construction industry. He had great comments. From what ive read, kilroy is one of the better developers in terms of carbon neutrality. One of their sustainability directors has been interviewed and spoken extensively about it in l. A. And hopefully they bring it here. Im here on behalf of the San FranciscoElectrical Construction organization. We employ thousands of workers. And paulson spoke about the building trade support and where we echo that. But i want to make sure that you guys were all aware that it isnt just about putting up this building of the men and women who are going to be responsible or employed in putting up this building but so much of the work that our members do happens after these buildings are up and running. So these 180 buildings provide jobs for thousands of blue collar electricians, security guards, janitors, carpenters. As we continue to add office space, and as we do commercial development, keep in mind that their a tremendous Economic Resource for working class and blue collar people. We are glad to see this project moving forward. Kilroy has been working with the building trade since the beginning and with the electrical since century since the beginning. Glad to see the issues are being resolved, and we are looking forward to seeing this get built. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Im with the Cultural Heritage district. The flower mart agreed to work to build a gateway marker as part of the Community Infrastructure obligations. Filipinos have been in soma for over 100 years. Despite the designation of the cultural district, there are no public monuments recognizing our community. Last year, the National Endowment for the arts selected filipinos to create a Strategic Plan and portfolio for signage to raise the visibility of the cultural district. Sixth street has been identified as a key corridor to have a welcome gateway especially with an entrance and exit at the proximity of the flower market. We appreciate this Development Agreement is the first major commitment about by the city and also a developer to create a gateway. And we look forward to working with the folks at kilroy to be able to design this. We would like to acknowledge the land dedication for Affordable Housing one block away from the project. And we hope that can build 100 units of Affordable Housing. Lastly, we really appreciate the work of the different parties to preserve the working class jobs and the Small Businesses of the flower mart. Good luck in the next few days in hammering out the details. Thank you. Before i call on the last speaker, let me, one, say that she spoke originally at my request so she can speak again now at Public Comment. But i really want to thank all the parties, and particularly ms. Topia for working everybodys behind off to get this to a place of yes. With that, the floor is yours. Thank you. I just wanted to respond to the question that supervisor safai. Safai. Asked earlier. The flower market was, my understanding, i think it was said here multiple times this afternoon, was the key benefit to this project. And because of that, i would like to point out that we need an objective benchmark to set a standard for building out this market. If we dont have an objective standard, there is no benchmark to hold the parties accountable for building what is required to have a functional flower market for our vendors and our customers. Hence thats why i mentioned the new garden in london, and that is the benchmark of a building that we would like to use as the industry standard. Also the initial deal with the flower market that was struck in 2014 was a 35year lease. This deal that we have right now is basically a 25year lease. Year 26, it becomes completely unaffordable for the flower vendors. I also want to point out that in year five, the vendors rent jumps 50 percent. So these Small Business owners have they are aware of this. They know this is part of the deal thats on the table right now, and they are accepting that as a condition to move forward and hopefully survive this transition. Thank you for putting those things on the record. And are there any other members of the public who would like to testify on item 7 and or 8 . Seeing none, well close Public Comment. There are a lot of moving pieces to this. I want to thank supervisor haney. I want to thank his predecessor supervisor kim. I want to thank our recorder ms. Carmen chiu who is working on ways to reduce some of the property Tax Liability to accommodate the flower market and their 50 some odd vendors. If there is no objection from my one remaining colleague on this panel, and i would like to welcome supervisor mar to the chambers, what i would like to do is propose that we send this to the full board of supervisors without recommendation. That will give oh, supervisor safai is back. That will give you another week to work through a bunch of the details. [please stand by] submitting to the clerk for the committee to accept. And also amendments to the ordinance reflecting those changes to the d. A. Right, my bad. So theres a motion to amend. Can we take that motion without objection . And we will do that and then we will send the items as amended to the full board without recommendation. Going once. Done. Madam clerk, read item number 3. Clerk modifying the zoning controls in resolution 43019 which require a conditional use authorization or Residential Care facilities to clarify that those interim zoning controls apply to certain Residential Care facilities, including facilities lacking required permits, and affirming the appropriate findings. Supervisor mandelman, thank you for your patience. Thank you, chair peskin and colleagues. You may recall that back in october this board adopted a resolution establishing interim zoning controls to and in response to the loss of the Residential Care facilities over a number of years and the concern that we would continue to lose them. And so these interim zoning controls required a conditional use authorization to the Residential Care facility to another use. Since adoption of that resolution as we have seen some additional projects coming down the line where folks are, in fact, trying to go out of the rcfe, or r. C. F. Business, it has become clear to the departments tasked with implementing these controls that it would be useful to further define what Residential Care facilities are and specifically to clarify that this resolution, these controls and requirements for a conditionaluse authorization, would apply whether or not the Residential Care facility in question was established with or without with benefit of permits. So thats what this resolution is about. And i hope that as we passed the last one unanimously that the committee would forward this with full adoption. Any members of the public to speak on item number 3 in seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor safai . I just want to have my name added as a cosponsor this legislation, madam clerk. And to say really quickly a lot of these facilities are in my district. And because of the pressures that have been born by extremely hot Housing Market theres been a lot of turnover, a lot of the families that had operated them for a long time had decided not to. I think that is one of the pieces of the conversation, not just about conditional use, but also about the reimbursement rate and ensuring that the operators have enough money to survive. I know that theres been ongoing conversation. So thank you, supervisor mandelman for your leadership on this. Just want to say really strongly that we do support ensuring that these operators are reimbursed at a higher rate. And that were thinking as creatively as we can about these longterm care facilities in all different aspects of longterm care. Whether its subacute and others. Its a muchneeded service, and the idea that the pressure is being born to turn these into nonnursing home facilities, we want to work with the operators to ensure that they survive, and then actually get those numbers back up. Thank you, supervisors. So with those comments and seeing no Public Comment, if one of you would like to make a motion to send item 3 to the full board with recommendation. We will do that without objection. Clerk as a Committee Report . As a Committee Report. And please read the next item. Clerk item for ordinance amending the administrative code to require an annual report analyzing the fit between Housing Needs associated with job growth by wages in San Francisco and Housing Production by affordability. And we are joined by supervisor mar on this item that is cosponsed by supervisors haney and fewer and we an analyst report. Supervisor mar, the floor is yours. Thank you, chair peskin, for this opportunity to hear this legislation today. Which will require the Planning Department to produce an annual jobs housing report providing new data and analysis to inform our citys efforts to truly address the Housing Affordability crisis in a more thoughtful, strategic and impactful way. The annual jobs housing fit report will analyze the alignment or the misalignment between job growth by wage level in Housing Production by affordability level. Planning commissioners have been asking for this data for years. So i commissioned the first ever jobs housing f. I. T. Report which was released by the budget and legislative analyst in october. This initial report provides new insight into our housing crisis and highlights an extreme imbalance in San Franciscos jobs housing fit. I would like to share several key findings from the report. First, during the techdriven economic boom over the last decade, job growth has far outpaced Housing Production, with 8. 5 new jobs for every new housing unit produced. Secondly, even though we have created an equal number of lowwage and highwage jobs during this boom period, 75 of housing produced have been market rate units, mostly luxury condos. While only 25 of units produced have been affordable to low and moderate income households. Thirdly, while the number of highincome households increased by 44 during this period, lowincome households declined by onequarter in our city with workingclass families displaced and low and moderateincome workers forced to make longer and longer commutes on gridlocked freeways. And, finally, looking ahead the initial jobs report found that
