Commissioner imperial thank you. I just would like to bring to attention and also ask the planning staff since there are actually state bills that are moving right now, and these state bills will absolutely affect San Francisco, so im wondering or im asking if the planning can do analysis of these upcoming state bills such as the sb 902, ab 2345, and to look into this analysis as to what it is these bills do, and how do they change our existing land use standards . Also, what kind of and how are these bills also override our local procedures and sessions both demonstrably and figuratively so we can know how it will affect our decision. Also, it will be great to see how these bills interact and add to already existing state law that San Francisco already needs to comply. Example, like how sb 902 would behave with the state ceqa analysis. These are fast moving, and i think these are going to come up in state by may 28. So if it would be possible to have this kind of information analysis in the next week or two, so yeah. President koppel commissioner moore. Vice president moore commissioner imperial has taken the words out of my mouth. Its particularly the 902 that im particularly concerned about it and i would like to hear about it. Among the coronavirus, we forget there are things moving in sacramento and we need to stay on top of them. I think San Francisco has been in front of everybody else in the state, and i hope that director hillis will appreciate and dedicate some staff hours to doing exactly that. And at this point, i would like to raise i dont know if that is the correct moment, im looking to our clerk, jonas ionin, whether were able to get any documents to help us not go through the same pain that we just did with the hub project, which was extremely difficult to review, given oth size of the documents and our inability to post stickies on the document. I would like to encourage that e. I. R. S and large documents are given to us two weeks before being heard. This is an item that is being continuously impressed on president koppel and myself. Second ionin has acknowledged it. I secretary ionin has acknowledged it, but i just wanted to make it known. President koppel commissioner diamond . Commissioner diamond i want to support commissioner moores request, with particular emphasis on the response to documents, draft e. I. R. S, and any plans. Thank you. Clerk director hillis . Director hillis just to quickly respond, as the process continues, we can thank you, commissioner moore. Staff has been great in the past on reviewing these and giving us information on how they will continue to affect San Francisco. We will continue to get you that work and move forward on their ability to continue to impact us. Vice president moore thank you. Commissioner diamond thank you. Clerk okay. If theres nothing further, commissioners, we can move onto directors report. Director hillis two items quickly. One, i dont know if you read in the chronicle, there was a disaster involving service workers, and over 300 workers are being deployed in Disaster Service. One of our planners was featured in the article, and weve had over 30 workers featured in Disaster Service workers. Also, next week, we are getting budget instructions from the Mayors Office and the budget office, so how do we react to the budget shortfall. The Mayors Office has updated their numbers to show that a 1. 7 billion for the rest of this year and the next two years; theres about a 250 million shortfall for this year. So not good news, and well have to respond to that, and well certainly be back to you as that process unfolds, and thats my report. Thank you. Clerk seeing no questions, i can move onto item 9, review of past events at the board of supervisors, board of appeals, and Historic Preservation commission. Hi, all. This is aaron. At the full board this week, supervisor peskins ordinance on intermediate length occupancy passed its second read, and commissioner ronens ordinance passed its first read, and that concludes my report. Thank you. Clerk okay. If there are no questions for mr. Starr, we can move onto general Public Comment. At this point, members of the public may address items of subject matter jurisdiction of the board except for items on the agenda. Each member of the public may address the commission up to three minutes. When the number of speakers exceeds the 15minute limit, Public Comment may be moved to the end of the agenda. Chan, why dont we go to the q a. Operator your call is now in questionandanswer mode. To enter, press one and zero proceed again. Clerk again, for members of the public, this is your opportunity to present Public Comment. To get into the queue, press one and zero. Operator you have two questions remaining. Hello. This is jonathan randall. Last week, supervisor peskin asked why no one else had tried to propose anything having to do with the residential planning threshold. Its time for the Planning Department to propose amendments to planning code section 317 that are in line with creating more affordability. Things have changed since planning code 317 was written. Part of it was old housing is rent controlled and newhousing is not rent controlled. Its not always the case that old housing is more affordable if the new housing provides more housing services. Theres a change the premise has changed because sb 330 from last year contains a costa hawkins exemption, projects that create replacement housing. We should amendment 317 to protect the tenant protection from the neighborhood character. In the tenant protections, we should look at sb 330 and see if those protections are good enough for San Francisco. If those are good enough for San Francisco, we should follow 330 instead of having our own planning code 317. Now for the other part of planning code 317, which is neighborhood character, that, we should put into Design Guidelines rather than 317 because 317 is kind of a mess at protecting neighborhood character. It doesnt really do it, so, yeah. I think the Planning Department should start looking at how we can amend 317 to protect tenants and separate protect neighborhood character. Thank you. Operator you have two questions remaining. Oh, hi. Good afternoon, commissioners and everyone. This is georgia schiutish. On sfgovtv, on april 30, 2020, following the Public Comment regarding the budget, president koppel asked director rahaim, just a quick question. If theres anything, those democacs, because he emphasized emphasized [inaudible] so what i wish former director rahaim had advised to the commission was the following commissioners, you can adjust the democalcs submission at any time. Section 312b is in the code to protect housing affordability. That is my suggestion. If you have nothing else to do than to watch that exchange on january 23 at 3 56 25. Thats my request. Stay safe, and byebye. Operator you have two questions remaining. Good afternoon, commissioners. My name is katie bindleman, and im here to support s. P. U. R. S. P. U. R. Is a partner [inaudible] market octavia has created thousands of new infill Housing Units and visibility improvements for the public to enjoy. In the years since march octavia was adopted, its become clear that the city has not produced sufficient housing for those who want to be here. The hub is a strategic effort today to increase capacity in a central transferring location that is appropriate for both jobs and housing. Even during the covid19 challenges, this is a great place to live and work because of the ability of Public Transit and biking. We urge the Planning Department to embark on a new set of area plan, setting all three housing concepts outlined in the housing strategies report. Continue to did he right lane the op the area plans for the east side, grow opportunities on transit corners across the country, and the call to increase density across the residential neighborhoods. In a time of great uncertainty on many sides, the approval of this plan will help set up this city and its surrounding area for a future of success. You have one question remaining. Good afternoon, commissioners. This is anastas anastasia iovannopolous, a district 8 resident. The previous speaker has her agenda and most of the members and Equity Partners have slightly different views, so well take that up next week. As far as review of state bills, youve got two commissioners who are requesting a review of state bills that are pending. On may 20, all the Assembly Bills will be in committee heard. The following week, the state bills will be heard at the housing committee. Its the job of the people there on staff you have the resources to look at these bills, analyze them, and bring them up to the public what is coming. Select the ones that deal with housing that would impact us and tell us about them. Thank you. Operator you have zero questions remaining. Clerk very good, commissioners. That will place us under your regular calendar which has, in its entirety, been continued to may 21. Therefore, we will move onto your discretionary review calendar for item 14, case number 20818005918drp at 254 Roosevelt Way. Is staff prepared to present . Mr. Winslow . Can you hear me . Clerk we can. Thank you. Good afternoon, president koppel and members of the commission. David winslow, staff architect. The item before you is a review of housing permit application 20 clerk david, it appears as though youve frozen. 19 clerk david, i believe you have a bad internet connection, and you may need to begin your presentation or we can move onto okay. Yeah, i just got a message from mr. Winslow that he has lost internet connection. Commissioners, my suggestion is staff report has been provided to you. At this point, up until the time mr. Winslow can reconnect, we may want to go to the d. R. Requester and project sponsor presentations, but unfortunately, now that i think about it, mr. Winslow would have had those presentations. Christine, do we have those presentations . I think if you just give me one moment. Clerk okay.
