And so wondering if, in that body, if there is going to be i mean, that requires knowing how much things are costing and getting into that detail, and so if thats not the right place for that, thats fine, but thats just kind of a question that i have, especially in development, the upfront costs for being green are high, so in terms of why that matters in terms of framework, it could be interesting to do that. Another thing is why it matters for people . I think that stormwater regulation does matter for people, especially when its raining and things are flooding. Thats a huge reason, so im wondering if this body could help with translating how some of this work shows up in peoples daytoday lives. And part of that could be with the universitys developing scorecards on why those things matter that can be easily disseminated and digested by the community. And the other thing is just metrics impact. Thinking through one of the things i was thinking is interesting theres already a lot of what you mentioned here, too, in terms of goals and items that Treasure Island is delivering on, but i still dont know what those things are and what they actually mean. We talk about carbon sequester, but what does that mean to people . I guess, like, what is the baseline in like, lead m. D. . Is everybody doing that . If not, we should be targeting why everybody is above the baseline. We should be mentioning is this baseline that youre touching on or are you not going to talk about that . Very much concerns. Lets see. Mr. Dunlap . Thank you very much, madam chair. I think this is a great, brilliant idea, and im really excited about the potential for being platinum. I think thats exciting, and it sort of raises a question, though, you know, we never hear about Treasure Island getting platinum, the lead platinum. We hear about outages, that kind of stuff. I think another way to get it to the press so we start getting the really positive press we deserve because everybodys staff, board has worked extremely hard, and you know were doing meaningful work, but it all ends up in peoples heads, at least, that oh, youre the people that are poisoning everyone, and were not. You know, theres so many great things, so a Committee Like this could maybe also tip the press balance. So i really like that idea and of course explaining why it matters. Thank you. I think we need to generate our own press, and that is what this is. And i just want to say certainly sustainability and position and the global everything, and even where theyre going to be overlapping, land use and transportation is land use, and all those things are related into that. This allows the flexibility into one where we are finishing one discussion, now we have two others that we can supplement that, you know, back and forth, back and forth. And i also would like to also have zero waste, which is really where San Francisco is leading and all of that to be a key item also in what were doing because our development plan, the reason we have this lead platinum, again, is what were doing with stonewater energy and all were using them, and the plan that we have with the p. U. C. And the waste and the solids and all of that. This allows the opportunity to how we have this new island, and how we are even going to go beyond what San Francisco main already have. So no matter how we cut this thing, we now have the flexibility to do what we ever wanted to do with our discussions. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any Public Comment . Hearing none, next item. Clerk item number 11, discussion of future agenda items by director. Any future items . I just wanted to point out really quickly that, again, in the march meeting on the island, we will be looking at the very, very important issue about earthquake preparedness. Thank you very much for that. Hearing no other items, next item, please. Clerk meeting is adjourned. Thank you. Thank you very much. I strive not to be a success but more of being a valued person to the community. The day and day operations here at Treasure Island truth in family is pretty hectic. The island is comprised of approximately 500 acres, approximately 40 miles of sanitary sewer, not including the Collection System. Also monitor the sanitary sewer and Collection System for maintenance purposes, and also respond to a sanitary sewer overflows, as well as blockages, odor complaints. We work in an industry that the public looks at us, and they look at us hard in time. So we try to do our best, we try to cut down on incidents, the loss of power, cut down on the complaints, provide a Vital Service to the community, and we try to uphold that at all times. Going above and beyond is default mode. He knows his duties, and he doesnt need to be prompts. He fulfills them. He looks for what needs to be done and just does it. He wants this place to be a nice place to live and work. Hes not just thinking customer service, this is from a place of empathy. He genuinely wants things to work for everyone and that kind of caring, i admire that. I want to emulate that myself. That, to me is a leader. I strive not to be a success but more of being a valued person to the community. The key is no man is an island. When anything actually happens, they dont look at one individual, they look at p. U. C. Stepping in and getting the job done, and thats what we do. My name is dalton johnson, im the acting supervisor here at Treasure Island treatment plant. Good afternoon and welcome to the land use and Transportation Committee for today, monday, december 16th, 2019. Our last Land Use Committee meeting of the 2019 calender year. I am aaron peskin, the chair of this committee joined to my left by Committee Member supervisor matt haney and our clerk is ms. Erika major. We welcome, in her own right for her first trial by fire experience is Land Use Committee deputy City Attorney anne pearson. Do you have any announcements . Clerk silence all cellphones and electronic devices. Completed speaker cards and copies of any documents that include as part of a file should be submitted to the clerk. Items will appear on the januarf supervisors agenda less otherwise stated. We are joined momentarily to my right by vicechair of the Committee Supervisor ahsha safai who rightfully comments that it is quite warm in these chambers so, ms. Major, when you have a second after you read item number 1, if you could ask them to cool this place down you can ask them through the chair. Send some heat to my office since i dont have any right now. That would be great. Sure thing transfer the heat from the board chambers to room 256. Clerk item number 1 entitled regulating the width of sidewalks to reduce the sidewalk width of certain locations along the westerly side of pierce street in front of the maxime Health Center at 1301 pierce street sidewalks are important which is precisely why these instruments come to the board of exercises. This is a proposal to actually reduce sidewalk widths but, apparently, in the Public Interest, in supervisor haneys district on behalf of the department of public works, which i guess we now call public works, which one of you is here to testify. Please come forward. Good afternoon. Im kevin jensen, Disability Access coordinator with public works. Yes, the for examplio for fri remember you coming back with another one. This is the Health Center across the street from Kimball Playground city clinic. Were proposing a fully compliant Building Code and a. D. A. Compliant passenger loading zone at the front of that facility which includes a street level passenger loading aisle. That street level passenger loading aisle is alongside the passenger side of the vehicle pullup space which is the best way to do accessible passenger loading zones. Which we feel is important this being a clinic and all. As planning also agreed with our position on this, it doesnt effectively reduce the pedestrian through way zone in the sidewalks so its consistent with the better streets plan in as much as the pedestrian capacity of the sidewalk is uneffected. I have slides if that would be helpful. Please proceed. The location of that clinic. Kimball playground is the large patch to the right of the subject site. This is the facade with the building as it stands today. You can see the existing sidewalk has cross which were correcting with this work. Headon shot there. Looking back the other way. Its about a 4 grade down the street. Official legislated sidewalk with its 15 feet. Rendering of the project. Weve done some remodeling including putting in an elevator which is a longstanding need in this clinic. The site plan. You can see the indented passenger loading zone with the curb ramp to the rear of the vehicle space. Its directly opposite the entrance ramp and stair at the primary entrance at the main entrance. This is a drawing of the working drawing of the plan which shows dimensions. You can zoom on that in a little bit here. Im sorry this has slopes. The next exhibit has dimensions. One has slopes. Here is the dimensions here. Here are the exhibits if theres any questions. Thank you mr. Jenson. If there are no comments from Committee Members, are there any members of the public who would like to testify on item number 1 . If theres no objection and it will be one heard on the seventh day of january 2020. Without objection that will be the order. Colleagues, id like to skip over item number 2 pending some amendments that deputy City Attorney is working on and madam clerk, call item number 3 out of soareorder clerk to receive public input on the appropriate periods to implement the Hotel Conversion updates. Thank you, i want to thank my colleagues and city staff and the Owner Community and members of the Advocacy Community for sitting through last weeks Long Committee hearing. Given the length of that meeting we continued this meeting after receiving brief presentations from city departments. This is to receive input from stakeholders to implement our 2017h. C. O. Update Hotel Conversion ordinance update in order to ensure that any Property Owners wh owners who ny recoup investments they may have made relying on a tourist versus residential use. The amortization ordinance continues to after that it raises it to 30 days to provide staple residential uses instead of short term tourist uses. The purpose of the citys law has been that residential s. R. O. Units are intended for residents and not for tourists. The definitions have not been as clear as they could have been. Todays discussion is focused on trying to provide an appropriate buffer for those s. R. O. Owners who have been running on a Tourist Hotel model and rendering for short term use. The purpose is to restore s. R. O. S who what they have been and immigrant families and those living on fixed low incomes. A request to contain this meeting can be convened. I still a intend to amend the legislation and get back to the original policy intent that existed since 1981 that all residential rooms are ended for residential uses not seven day tourists and i will ask it in the beginning of the year persuade opursued on a parallel. Well ask questions as well as take Public Comment and then i intend to make a motion if you colleagues will continue to t to the call of the chair. We heard a brief presentation on the background of the h. C. O. But id like to ask Joseph Barber from d. B. I. To come up and lets see if we can get at sometime of the things we cannot have the chance to discuss last week. Thank you. I will not make any comments about where to put your jacket. On ton of the vilers leasing to tourists for nightly stays and operating a hotel they found an additional 13 hotels that were specifically being advertised toe tourists to tour. It is in the northeast corn of the city represented by this supervisor and the supervisor to my left and a hotel that was supposed to be 75 residential and 25 tourist. That listed 100 of all of the units as tourist rentals and another couple of buildings and listed a number of rooms for tourists so the question s. How does the city enforce listings and ensure that residential rooms are not going to tourists . I say that in light of the fact that our short term rental ordinance does not cover s. R. O. S. I mean, just broadly, we generally respond to complaints and Different Hotels suspected of unlawful conversion. There are usual suspects that come up every now and then. We respond to complaints. We go down in the hotels and check records and as of now were enforcing the seven will have dadayminimum and its lime can discover who say tourist or not we stipulate today that you know, if we find theyre not keeping their records correctly, we can find them and we do so a problem we do encounter is it sees theretheres not daily loo us. While were on that subject. I was actually going to raise that, which is mr. Lutins did refer to quote cooking the books in two sets of books. And can you state from your experience what impediments there are to d. B. I. S ability to enforce the h. C. O. Is Record Keeping a problem and have you ever caught an operator or operators not keeping correct books or keeping two sets of books as you said theres a problem with cooking the books to reflect the number of tourist rooms and vacancies. Can you address that . Yeah, i mean, we have caught a few but its sort of anxiety that theres a lot more out there we dont know because its hard to go after additional records. The legislation that you passed including supervis subpoena powd its not showing us the true occupancy of the hotel by giving us the daily logs that they fill out and having a Computer System or something that tells who is in the hotel and who pays for rooms the administrative supervisor power i continue to hear from folks in the community that the practice of keeping units vacant or as its commonly referred to as warehousing, its prevalent, particularly in certain neighborhoods like lower knob hill, the tenderloin. Do you have a sense of how many vacancies are out there and why Property Owners are holding them off the market. Given that the practice of warehousing of precious residential units in the midst of a housing crisis seems to be at odds with the contention that some Property Owners are making that they are trying to make back their frontend investments and hence our am terrization comments i know it does happen. Many units are kept vacant for extended periods and im not sure why that would be if you are trying to make money off of those units. I see it where wore just processing our annual unit usage report inform. We havent completely assembled the data base but its also selfreported and theres some data there as to how many vacancies there are. Its a snapshot when what we have asks for data from one day throughout the year. And weve looked at that before and we can certainly look at it again whats that snapshot tell you overtime if you can produce that out of . In terms of having sa vacancy units are occupied in october 15th of the year. They turned it in on november 1st so they have information from that one day. I can tell you it does happen. Im sorry if this seems obvious but its important, which is the difference between a residential unit and a tourist units. Are there different amenities provided . Are they market seconddegree d . Do some come with bathrooms and some not come with bathrooms . How does that work . Really, it depends. They can be exactly the same. Im been in buildings mix tourist and residential designated rooms and theres no difference between two rooms m will keep their tourist designated room on a different floor and i dont know for what purposes, for cleaning the rooms and after people move out but theres no nessie difference between the rooms. Theres not any enforceable the room has to be this versus that. What are some of the indicators that a room may have been unlawfully convert. Im aware of one s. R. O. Hotel that hired a artist to do to cater to a hipper, class of tourist demo graphics that the boutique industry billed itself around and got rid of a beauty salon to usher in a International Art bar and pride and permit on top of a Liquor License transfer meaning they had to get sign off from the tenants above. Only it turned out there were no tenants left. They were only renting out to tourists. I know of another s. R. O. That actively advertises personal tours of local and regional attractions ranging from monterey, carmel, yo sem tee. Are these amenities in line with a tourist use or residential use . Generally its tourist rather than residential. Are adding these amenities consistent with a residential hotel, do you think . Its up to the owner. Due have to. Its not necessary. Can you rent the rooms out for seven days at a time and advertise online. As far as advertising for the rooms, they used some of the same services basically where at least most testify is done online anyways so you are on airbnb getting a temporary unit or craigslist for more prominent listing for the s. R. O. Housing stock. I would agree with that dough know if s. R. O. Owners make a profit from the operation and maintenance from the s. R. O. S without adding these types of tourist amenities . Sure, i dont see why not. The Housing Market such that it is you can charge quite a bit and per room understood. And is there a component that makes payment options. I know that some low income residents who dont have credit cards or wish to pate their installments were concerned clarifying the
