Yeah. And in terms of the oversight of that and who are you partnering with to actualize that . Was labor involved directly in negotiations of this . We negotiated that with the office of economic and workforce development, but i understand that the program was crafted with a lot of input from labor. Correct. Its a program that is used in other Development Agreements as well. And the street cleaning piece of this, again, just a similar question around is that money just to the city and then the city will figure out how to use that . Or is it more specific . Before you actually i dont want to interrupt but i want to hear that from city staff. Youve had a few minutes to figure out whether or not that is category 8 fund and precisely how that 200,000, tenyear will be spent and utilize. The floor is yours. Im sorry, i have not found out but we can direct it. It goes to the city. I just dont know specifically what the fund is that it goes into. But i can try to do that. [please stand by] year five, it goes up over time per a two Percent Inflation and for the terms of the agreement, but still very affordable. In year 26, there is a provision in the lease that allows kilroy to determine a new market rent for the flower vendors or for the first 25 years, it is a very low rent prescribed by the agreement that we negotiated. Which, for the record, will be paid for through fees, through fee rebatement, so just so we are all clear, and my colleagues understand what they are getting into, the trailing legislation will actually reduce the amount of mandated legal fees that kilroy has to pay to subsidize this subsidy. If i could correct that. You look offended. You have an opportunity to say this, but i want my colleagues to understand what they are getting into. So when we talk about the 27 million fee package, that is a portion of the subsidized one through four, 250,000 rent . True or not true . The current rent i think is 1 million, its about 1. 2 million, somewhere in that range. And then we asked for reduction. We asked for a stabilization period in the first four years, because we think its disruptive for the flower market to be moving off its current location. Theyll have to move into a new facility, it will be a new operation. For a period of time, theyll have a sinking fund, i get it so we asked for a reduction. The flower market asked for a stabilization period that their plat rent is 50,000, and the city agreed that we should help stabilize the flower market in the first four years. Subject to the approval of this board of supervisors with trailing legislation. Correct thank you. I was thinking about everything. Again, the reason im asking these questions is because at the end of the day, the worst that could happen, and i understand 25 years is a long period of time, is that ultimately that you get into a scenario where its unaffordable for the vendors to remain, but it sounds like theres significant time being spent in terms of initial transition and subsidy, but then in year 25, its a negotiationen this part but i mean i understand you have spent a lot of money to make this a flower mart, right . What happens in the year 25 in its not affordable anymore . 26 in year 26 there is the use restriction is it has to be used as p. D. R. Space, but theres a new negotiation for the rent, which is typical in leases, usually happens in year one. But for this lease, we are required to provide 25 years at the renteds that were negotiated in the triparty agreement. Whether they moved or didnt move, this was the scenario that would happen anyway . That is correct. And you all currently own this site and you remain the landlord . Correct. Okay. And then in terms of the scenario b, and you might have already said this but i want to underscore this point, what is the estimated cost to buy another location and build or renovate or rehab or construct a new flower mart space . With the cost to kilroy . Approximately. Yeah, in the list of Public Benefits we put 100 million cost in there. I will say that is a place holder because we cannot discuss in this forum the exact prices we are negotiates for these potential sites that we may or may not buy. I call it 100 million plus. So to relocate which i think is potentially the option the flower vendors are leaning toward, we dont know. They have to take a vote substance consequently to this confirmation of this Development Agreement, but at a minimum, you are saying it would be approximately an additional 100 million cost or more. More than 100 million to relocate the vendors, sign a lease that goes at least 25 years at affordable, really affordable, relatively affordable rent for that period of time. That is correct. And ill just point out in reference to supervisor peskins note about the rent, yes, there is a fee credit for the first four years of this. There is no fee credit for the rest of the 25 years of the discounted rent. And that over 100 million figure doesnt include any adjustment for rent. Thats just construction and acquisition cost. Thats what i was talking about, construction and acquisition. So if you were to add in the rent loss over what a market rent would be, it would be a far, far greater than that. But thats correct. Okay. Thats all my questions for now. Thank you. Excuse me. Before i open this up to Public Comment, i would like a representative of the San Francisco flower market to come up. Are you in the audience . Geneie beaux. If you could as the master and party to the triparty agreement and intimately involved in these negotiations, present the case from the flower market. Good afternoon, supervisors. Im the general manager of the San Francisco flower mart. I represent the Ownership Group and the 50 plus vendors that are currently at the San Francisco flower mart. We have operated in San Francisco since 1912. Of the 50 vendors, theres roughly 26 legacy Business Owners in that market. We employ 375 blue collar workers. Recently a National Floral industry publication dedicated their entire november issue to the San Francisco flower scene. As we are a key piece of this 26 billion floral industry in the u. S. , stating that the flower power of San Francisco is alive and well and will never decline. The piece focused on San Francisco city colleges floral department, several talented creative retail florists, the young museum that has the annual exhibit and the business of floral design in the city. And of course at the center of the article is our flower market, the world famous San Francisco flower mart. Our customers routinely shop our market and the thousands every month coming from all over the bay area and northern california. You see our products in every event and every corner store, office building, apartment building, restaurant and hotel in the city. When large Corporate Events hit our city like dream force, the market and our customers are at the center of helping execute those events. We put the color in this city. Both with our beautiful products and the small Business Owners who rely on this market to do their business. What an amazing and unique Community Benefit the city of San Francisco bargained for to require kilroy reality to build a new world class flower market for San Francisco. Supervisor peskin, thank you so much. You have fought for years for this market and our cast of vendors down there. And honestly, we cant thank you enough over the years. Youve been key to all these legacy businesses surviving over multiple transitions. And i would like to also thank ann and ken and the city attorneys office. Over the last few months that weve been intimately involved with each other. Theyve worked very hard to bring all parties to the table. Weve been working diligently for months to get to a path that ensures that the Community Benefit of a World Class Wholesale flower market be achieved. Currently the parties are not in agreement on the physical building requirements, and we are not in agreement on the basic functions of that facility. The latest wholesale flower market to be build is the new Garden Market in london. That is the facility that the market should be used as the industry standard. We made progress on the terms but dont have an agreement on the process for designing and building a first class building. And we asked for the citys continued support in that critical effort. I thank you very much for listening to my comments this afternoon. Thank you. And i want to reciprocate and thank you for truly being a star in this whole difficult process and the president of your board is mr. Is that correct . If you could come up and say any words that you wish to say. I dont want to put you on the spot, but if you would like to come up, the floor is yours. And then i will open it up to Public Comment. Thank you, supervisors. The San Francisco flower mart, as you know, has been a Major Institution in the city for over 100 years. We support so many businesses here in the in the city, caterig events, hotels. Walking city hall every day, and you see our flowers in all of the weddings at city hall. This will not come out of your time, your time is unlimited but these come from rec and park. [laughter] great. Thank you. I used to come here at 2 00 a. M. In the morning with my father to sell flowers at the flower market. We want the flower market to continue to be a viable entity here in the city. The San Francisco flower mart and the Tenants Association have worked with kilroy and the city, and weve made significant progress in our agreements. But we are not there yet. The tenants have also agreed to some very, very significant increases in their rents in the years ahead, which a number of them have commented on. Weve spent the last entire weekend in negotiations with kilroy and with the city, but we still have a few major issues that we have to resolve. These issues among them are the specifications of a new market and the process for making key decisions as the market is being built. We had just received the spec designs, the revised designs, and we need time to adequately review them and work with kilroy and the city to finalize them. Therefore, we are asking the city to give us a few more extra days ahead to be able to work on the agreement so that we can put together a market in which tenants can continue to thrive, and which the market will continue to be a Major Institution. We also want to thank supervisor peskin for helping us to be able to make sure that the market is going to have a viable location where those tenants can continue to thrive. Also, we would like to give gratitude to ann, ken, and betty on helping to facilitate the negotiations. Thank you. What happened to Charles Sullivan . Kidding. [laughter] hes off somewhere else. Thank you. Before i open up to Public Comment, supervisor safai has a few questions. Thank you. Just real quick, sounds like these are ongoing conversations. But can you talk about your response to the specifications for the new market and how the conversations are proceeding . Yes. We do recognize there are outstanding issues with the technical specifications. These are things like electrical loads and refrigeration quantities and things like that. We are confident that they can all be worked through. I will point out that these are the kind of details that normally come much later in process for a project like this. We received a new draft of some of those documents as late as 2 00 yesterday. So we havent been able to work through them before this issue. But we have told the vendors we are going to sit down with them at the end of this hearing and get to work on resolving the last issues. Do you believe, based on what he said, that its just a few more days to hammer these things out . Absolutely. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor safai. Why dont we open this up to Public Comment . I want to thank everybody for your patience, particularly those of you further down the agenda. I have a number of speaker cards. Rob shab at, coal, emily, if there are other people who would like to speak, if you would line up to my left, your right. Mr. Paulson. Are you here on 7 8 . The floor is yours . On behalf of Building Trades council, mr. Tim paulson. Thank you, supervisors. Tim paulson, the secretary treasurer of the San Francisco building and construction trades council. And we are here as a council to urge that this moves out to committee with recommendation to the full board. That being said, its pretty clear that kilroy, which has been great parties has been a great partner over the years to the Building Trades, has proven itself to be a great partner, both with the city, the flower market, the community and frankly, as we watch this amazing amount of development thats going on in San Francisco, has been a really good partner in terms of reaching out and putting it together, a very complex and wonderful project. So we are here to support that. At the same time on a supervisor level, even when i was working at the Labor Council i was aware of the work that supervisor peskin was doing on this particular project. So supervisor, thank you so much for sheparding so much of what is culminating in the next few weeks to finish up this project. As supervisor haney, whose district this resides in, being as diligent as ive watched you be over the last months to try to continue to shepherd this. So we are on record to say we support moving this to full committee, and the building trade supports this project. Before i call on the next speaker, i would like to acknowledge that mayor who was important in the negotiations in 2015 with the flower mart, has joined us. Mayor agnos, if you would like to speak, you are welcome to do so. Supervisors. My name is herald. Im the president of the south of market business association. I operate a flower shop one block from the flower market. I have for 20 years. A block. Takes five blocks of driving to get to the flower market though. So i walk. And actually i have had some its part of this issue about the replacement location. The traffic in south market is really terrible. And there have been opinions expressed to me by many vendors that putting the flower market back there with the way the market as a whole, development of the area is going, isnt as good as having it somewhere else. Ive come to understand, though im not involved in the negotiations, that this p. U. C. Site on chavez is or evans is the ideal site. 2000 marin 2000 marin. Im sorry. I confused those streets. Nonetheless, it would be the ideal site for a permanent flower market. And if we could get the p. U. C. Off their land grab on this property, we could have a happy ending, very soon. So nonetheless, i appreciate all the effort thats being made to preserve the flower market. And i wish the city had taken as much care in looking at the health of the flower stands in San Francisco as they dwindle down to Single Digits but nonetheless, i would like to see the city help the flower market survive. If we can get the flower market to have its permanent site, it makes a lot more sense. Thank you very much. Before we hear from the next speaker, i want to thank you for personally delivering flowers when my father passed away, to my mothers house. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. South of market association. I recall when there used to be breweries out there, warehouses, supply shops, and a lot of them moved away for all sorts of reasons, particularly breweries that are no longer there. Its really developing i like whats going on. Its nice to see places coming up. The giants ballpark and so many other places around south of market. Its become a bright, vibrant and interesting place to come to. So supervisor peskin, i really appreciate all the work youve put into this. Im a full supporter of small business. One thing i love about this place thats being built, all the p. D. I. , we have such a shortage of it. We have a few car repair places, but this is a great mixture of day care, p. D. R. , its going to be a good project i feel at this stage. Once again, we at south of market support this project. We have other issues thats not to talk about but as far as we are concerned at this stage, thank you very much for all your work, particularly supervisor peskin. Thank you. And let me just say as to the comments, this entire project is remarkably complicated. So the 2000 marin site is actually a proposed trade between our Public Utilities commission over their laydown yard a block away at fifth for property that used to be the hurst printing plant, which is a p. U. C. Asset. And unfortunately, the flower market cannot have it forever, for that will be the new p. U. C. Yard. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. Thank you for your time. My name is emily abraham. Im here on behalf of the San Francisco chamber of commerce. Im here to express our support for the San Francisco flower mart central soma project. This project provides many economic housing, community and employment benefits. It is truly impressive that this project will include 100,000 square feet of neighborhood serving retail and business, a new flower mart, Affordable Housing, create good jobs, among many other Community Benefits. For these reasons, the chamber of commerce supports the San Francisco flower mart project and urges you to support as well. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. My name is michael. I work for full supply syndicate, a tenant of the flower market. Ive been in business for 80 years. Ive been working there since i was 16 years old. I think im representative of the type of tenants we have at the flower market. The historic flower market versus kilroy corporation, classic david and go lite, goliath. How do we succeed . We appreciate your support. We wouldnt be here without youre support. So thank you for city support. Some of the things that were said, i want to clarify. We are going to be seeing rent increases that will be effectively double our rent over the course of this lease with kilroy. We recognize that, and thats a sacrifice that we will do. So obviously its longterm viability and sustainability of the market. And weve made some good progress. We are not quite there yet. We really appreciate the support in getting us over the finish line with kilroy. And thats it. Thank you for your support. Thank you, michael. Next speaker, please. My name is rob with floral company. We celebrated our 113th year of business this year. My father started selling flowers on the streets of San Francisco before there was a flower market. When the flower market was established in 1912, he was one of the founders of it. At that time, the Flower Growers owned the market and the Flower Growers were also the tenants. So the at the nans and landlord, their interests were aligned. 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 Francisco Electrical 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 we need to build 18,000 affordable units for lowtomoderate income households while we have overentitled for other households through 2026. So in short, the Housing Affordability crisis is worsening. The status quo is not working. And we are failing miserably at meeting the Housing Needs of low to moderate income workies and their families. Far too much focus has been paid to simplistically increasing the housing supply generally, i. E. , build, baby build, without considering who we are building for. Theres not enough attention paid to how rapid and uneven job growth drives the Housing Demand and the affordability crisis. We need jobs housing f. I. T. Data to ensure that the housing that is approved and built in the future more directly addresses the Housing Needs of our workers and the communities, rather than only the financial bottom line of private developers. We also need housing jobs house fit data every time that the Planning Commission and the board of supervisors consider a Major Development project or area plan. And its time that we faced the data when making economic and policy economic, policy and landuse decisions and its time to confront the housing and other impacts of these decisions on lowtomoderate wage workers and families. So, colleagues, if you have any questions about the b. L. A. Report and how the Planning Department should have the reporting, fred is here and available to answer questions. Id like to acknowledge my cosponsors, supervisors haney, and fewer and safai and the staff and the labor advocates who we have worked with on this, including the council of Community Housing organizations and jobs with justice. So, thank you, colleagues. I urge you to support the report legislation today and move it forward to the full board as a Committee Report. Thank you, supervisor. So would you like to say any words . Unless theres questions . Okay, answer questions. Any members of the public to comment on this item, please come forward. I am with the coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods here on my own behalf. I would like to thank supervisor mar for commissioning the initial report for the jobs housing fit. Its an important tool in understanding these issues and resolving them. Making the jobs housing fit report an annual requirement is critical to keeping the momentum going. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker. Supervisors, im with the council for Community Housing organizations. We are super excited to be here supporting this legislation. Thank you, supervisor mar, for this great work. We have for many years been hearing about the imbalance between jobs growth and housing, but very little about the actual wages of workers, their actual needs and the affordability of housing that needs to be created for those workers. This is the kind of information that every decisionmaker should have in front of them when they are looking at questions such as the previous item that yall were discussing around the flower mart development, for example. What are the jobs being created . Whos going to benefit . And how are we going to house those workers . This legislation will establish reporting requirements, not just for us to look back at whats happened, but us to look forward. Especially every time that we are looking at large master plan developments to really understand the implications and to really plan for policy to house our workers. Thank you very much. Please support this legislation. Hi, everyone. My name is mya tucloth and with the support of supervisor mars legislation or to make this jobs housing fit report a requirement on an annual basis.

Thank you again supervisor mar and his legislative aide, daisye kwan for your work and leadership on this critical piece of legislation. Thank you. And i hope that all of you will support this. Thank you. Next speaker. Hello. My name is kong fan, with jobs for justice, the coalition of the Labor Community organizations in the city. And im here to support the jobbingjobshousing fit. One of the phrases that we hear over and over again is that we need to build, and build and build and its almost like a magic spell, right . We say this enough and well solve the housing crisis. But before we fall under that spell we actually need to pause and to think about who are we building for. And for the first time this jobs housing report finally hospitals us to answer that key question. And the report that supervisor mar and the b. L. A. Released showed us that lowwage workers are increasing almost as much as highwage workers. We think of this boom and we think of a tech boom but that tech boom involves the janitors who clean those buildings and the restaurant workers who feed those folks. So we need to look at what is happening with lowwage workers. When the today show did a show, there was a lot about super commuters and the explosion of super commut
