Process. Public works is no longer overseeing their processes. In the prior legislation, we were issuing permits for all poles, and now theyre currently taking and doing all the review related to their assets. Okay. So i would for one be delighted in you want to continue to agree to hold off on the adoption of the objective standards. I think first and foremost i dont mean to be cranky on deputy City Attorneys debut at the land use committee, but having our deputy City Attorney who is the legal subject matter expert, mr. Sanders, here, im not sure why hes not here, would be very helpful. I do not want to put ms. Pearson in the position of having to delve into a body of legal material that is not her subject matter expertise. So i would like to continue to hold off. I would like to continue the hearing and also like to get legal advice about the potential outcomes of litigation three months hence. And at about the same time, the updated report will be forth coming from our department of public health, which is truly independent of the fcc and the telecommunications industry. So i would like to make a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair. And, colleagues, if we can do that without objection, i will continue to meet with ms. Dodd and ms. Selby and the Advocacy Community offline, and i failed to mention brian roberts, and deputy City Attorney sanders as we continue to try to figure out what were going to do with the ordinance this board unanimously passed this year. If we can do that without objection im sorry . My apologies. That will not be the order until supervisor safai speaks. Supervisor safai you pretty much said a lot of what i was going to say. I do concur with the chair. I would appreciate holding off on implementation. I want to express some of the things ive heard from people in my district. People dont feel like the appeal process is a real process. They feel they submit their concerns. Many of them have been expressed today and then everything proceeds as planned anyway. It doesnt feel and i understand that were moving forward with a conversation about standardization of esthetic, i think thats an important thing. I think there needs to be time done to look into the science. We certainly want to get that on the record. But i want to express the overall frustration from some of the folks ive heard from that, the appeals process this is not a criticism of dpw, this is the standards by which the appeal is heard and held to. So many times people feel like if they look at some of these devices and how theyre implemented on poles, they one look at one esthetic and there is other ones with a different esthetic. So there is no real standardization. And then proximity and health. For all those reasons, i want to concur with the chair. I think we dont do harm by slowing down the conversation to get all the facts on the table. And in particular, if we were to proceed, then there needs to be a standardization. There needs to be understanding of why some of these are implemented and why the scale is different in size and the esthetic is different depending on where theyre implemented. Supervisor peskin could you read item number 2 . Item 2 is ordinance amending the planning code during the project approval, by authorizing the Planning Department to authorize certain interim activities at project sites as temporary uses up to 36 months and adopting appropriate find its. Supervisor peskin mr. Star, the floor is yours audrey, Planning Department staff. Before i talk about the Planning Department recommendations, ive been asked to share a map to show where the legislation would be applied. If i could get the overhead . So any of the colored areas on the map is where this legislation would apply and im happy to answer any questions about that after i present the commissions recommendation. With that, the Planning Commission heard this item on april 25, 2019. They reviewed a version which i believe has been amended to be more restrictive on the types of uses allowed under the new temporary use authorization. The version the commission reviewed would allow entertainment, arts and recreation uses. Any social service or philanthropic use within a pdr1d district. Regardless of use size and permitted in the underlying Zoning District. It would also permit any office use so long as the office space is less than 5,000 square feet and equal or greater Square Footage of space is dedicated for arts, activity uses or Light Manufacturing uses. I believe the length of the authorize has been amended, however, the Planning Commission recommended 36 months with the ability for that tua to be extended up to three separate times for a period of 12 months each. That would be a total of six years. At the april 25th hearing, one person spoke in favor of the ordinance and one urged the commission to find ways to prioritize low equity tenants. They voted to approve the more expansive version of the ordinance i summarized. The first was to amend the requirement to increase residential density. Instead only if there is existing residential on the site. They recommended this because it may only exclude many sites from being eligible for this t. U. A. Even if the city supports the proposed project, the space would be of benefit to the city. The project must have a project submitted to the city and if the city determined the project is desirable enough, requiring the project to provide at least one unit of housing on site to be eligible for the tua doesnt make sense. The commissions second recommendation was to clarify that retail under the section that describes the types of uses are allowed, should be restated to say retail sales and service. The eligible uses allowed under this site believe that the retail reference was actually supposed to be in reference to retail sales and service. However, there are retail categories of uses in the planning code that would not be desirable to be an active commercial space such as automobile manufacturing, things like that. Im happy to answer any additional questions and that ends the commissions recommendations. Thank you. Thank you. Audrey, can you put that map back up . So, i dont think the map is right. Okay. Let me grab my staff report and i can say out loud the districts. Supervisor peskin heres what is missing, which is, it says, and neighborhood commercial districts. And im just looking at that map of the city and there are neighborhood commercial districts all over, 24 of them, and not a single one is on the map. Its neighborhood commercial districts bound within a certain area of streets. So its neighborhood commercial or neighborhood districts and mixed use districts in the area bounded by market, 13th, division and king. So soma. Otherwise, n. C. T. Districts citywide would be included but not n. C. D. , neighborhood commercial versus transit. I am not a lawyer. But english is my only language. Tom, definitions. So thank you. Section 205. 5, subsection b, eligible area ends in and neighborhood commercial districts. So its really so is that modifying bounded by market 13th, division and king in mixed use and commercial districts, because that is not clear to this lawmaker. If thats the way planning interprets it, and thats the way you interpret it, or if you think there is clarifying language they should do, so state it now, councillor. Thank you, supervisor peskin. If there is a lack of clarity, we can make it clear that the n. C. D. District all are intended to be covered supervisor peskin shes saying they believe that the legislation that they are recommending to us does not intend n. C. D. S, except within the area bounded by market, 13th, do division and king. Which is what she just said. Thats correct. Supervisor peskin i wanted to do what she intends. Let me state it differently. I cant do what you said, because that would require rereferral to Planning Commission. She believes that the Planning Commission is recommending to us was a narrower thing. And i believe that ms. Pearson would advise this body that if you wanted to expand that, you would have to rerefer to planning. So i just want the language to be clear, so we dont get in any weird fights or have to refer to the Zoning Administrator and have the City Attorney tell the Zoning Administrator thats outside of the Zoning Administrator powers because legislatively mr. Teague doesnt have that. We can massage that language and make it clear. Thank you. When i just read it, i was like and because it ends with and n. C. D. S. Before i call on supervisor haney, Planning Department mentioned some amendments which is within which are on page 6 and are before you which is with regard to the definition of interim activity. And the way i am suggesting at the behest of a number of individuals who have contacted by office over time, we define those as principally permitted uses. And remove the then extraneous language with regard to the types of uses, because each area sets forth what is principally permitted. So i would like to make those amendments on page 6. And as well on page 6 to add to the definition of eligible Development Site, the words deemed complete. In other words, that its not just you submit an application and a fee, but the Planning Department has to deem that application to be complete and then finally, with regard to the number of extensions and this is in the provision on page number ill come back to you i just want to get these on the table. On page 8, relative to the extension period to limit those not to three for a total of six, for a total of five years. So those would be the recommendations id like to make to my colleagues. Supervisor haney. Supervisor haney thank you for those, chair peskin and your work on this. You know, i am the coauthor of this with mayor breed and we have a number of sites in my district which have been both activated for these types of uses and could be activated for these types of uses especially as we see Housing Development and it is credible that these sites are activated for positive use, for art, for events, for Small Businesses, for different types of Light Manufacturing. That can take place in a temporary way. I think weve seen in this case weve seen the importance of interim use as it comes to Navigation Centers and Homelessness Services and this is another important way to activate sites before they are built. One of those sites i know is 10 van ness, which is the old honda dealership and operates as a popup event venue and has been incredibly successful at that. So my view on this is that it is smart to more narrowly tailor this to areas where there is a principle many use and i appreciate the piece around shortening the time a bit so this doesnt become be a more permanent use but is clearly an interim use, but just as a general point, its exciting to me that we are making it easier for the activation of sites particularly ones that can become blight or problematic in various ways. Thank you, chair peskin for the amendments. Supervisor peskin thank you for your cosponsor ship. Supervisor safa supervisor safai i want to be clear the version is your amendments . Supervisor peskin yes. And those amendments are only on page 6. Supervisor safai you added the word, and accepted, on line 4 . Supervisor peskin on line 4, and accepted, and that appears two more times in the same definition of eligible Development Site at lines 6, 7 and 11. Supervisor safai got it. Supervisor peskin and then what supervisor haney talked about as to the definition of interim activity and page 8 as to the five versus six total years. Supervisor safai right. Where was the interim activity . Supervisor peskin middle of page 6. Supervisor safai you said use permitted in the Zoning Districts . You added that language . Supervisor peskin we said everything that is principally permitted is good to go and with that were able to strike the various definitions of different use types. Supervisor safai got it. Supervisor peskin any members of the public on item number 2, please come forward. Hello, supervisors. I am the president of nonplus ultra. Thank you for your time today. Thank you for hearing this. And supervisor haney, thank you for cosponsoring this with mayor breed. Im here in full support of this legislation. Nonplus ultraoperates the building that supervisor haney mentioned at 10 van ness street. It is a very cool, old building in San Francisco that is entitled or in the process of being entitled for development. Rather than it sitting empty, we were able to coordinate some fun events to subsidize the community. This legislation goes beyond just this property, but it goes into whole gamut of Different Things throughout the city and county of San Francisco. The process to get a building entitled is a long and somewhat arduous one in the city. And without activation such as parking garages, this legislation will allow for my company, other nonprofits, some of the folks that are displaced from San Francisco, to get into these Development Projects and really be able to call that place home for that 35 year period if this legislation were to pass. Its a Significant Community benefit because these spaces would otherwise be empty and have no real access to public. Again, im in full support. Thank you for your time. I hope that we can get this passed. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is el chan. Im cofounder and 20 year veteran of the Events Industry here in San Francisco. Im a partner of trademark Event Productions and we produce Corporate Events throughout the city and across the country. There is a great shortage of event space in our city and many clients across the country are taking their events to las vegas, los angeles and other major markets. The interim use spaces here enable us to bring our clients business dollars to San Francisco. We have been hosting events over the past decade and saw rejuvenation of neighborhoods in the city. The activity that we engage in brings much needed commerce and vitality to the sites and neighborhoods, including not only millions of dollars of direct event and Service Industry employment, but also spending dollars in the neighborhoods. In support of the events, we witness the slow but steady turnaround on the streets. We have seen this ourselves in the mission, dog patch and Market Street areas where the neighborhoods have become more desirable residentially and commercially after a few years with the events and commerce in the area. This fall, interim use space donated to enable them to host the annual gala raising over 7 million across the globe. The work for this and several events hosted included thousands of labor hours for artists, stage crew and workers throughout the year. As a Small Business owner, we rely on the reliability of space so we can contribute to the vitality of our city and ever evolving neighborhoods. Thank you. Supervisor peskin thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. Im a native to the bows triangle and resident of the Mission District and i worked in events and night life for 17 years in the city. I have come to offer my support for this legislation with the developmental pressures on the city, there are a lot of buildings in the pipeline and i think its great to be able to use these spaces in the interim, rather than to leave them inactivated, as it tends to attract blight and yep, so, offering my support. Thanks. Hi, im jimmie jenk kins. Im in support of the legislation as a parttime bartender in the city. I moved here in 32 years. I was involved in the nightclub industry for the past 30 years. Being involved with one foot in the white collared world and one foot in the blue collared world has allowed me to stay in the city. Its allowed me to raise my daughter in the city and provide a good standard of living for all of us and our family. And id like to see that continue. Not only for me. I used to think i was unique, but there is hundreds of thousands of us in the city that need the additional employment that these places provide. Not just for bartenders, but youre talking about security, sound, event planners, everybody that is involved in this industry is affected by this legislation. Im in strong support of it for those very reasons. Youre talking about thousands of jobs, livability and for people to remain and contribute in the city. People dont move here for cornfields, they move here for the vibrancy, to meet likeminded people, other creatives. Thats what the type of events we throw provide. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors, my name is dave peterson, im a partner with nonplus ultra. And im here to support the legislation. As the need for community and nonprofit corporate space becomes increasingly scarce in our growing city, it has been my experience how activating these underutilized properties benefits both the community and the neighborhood. As some of the speakers said before me, not only revenue is generated, more revenue is generated from the businesses surrounding these properties, its also, i think, for optics. I come from a social work background and im actively managing the property at 10 south van ness. Its been my duty to work with some of these people that are camped outside of our building on a daily basis, on dark days, when these folks are out there. We allow them to congregate, do
