Their specific comments. They reviewed the findings that we have and we had a series of conversations about the specific legislation and discussing things that could be made from zoning and land use perspectives and then some of the things that would require further investment and discussion with other city agencies. Thank you,. Sure. The specific changes are, expanding the boundary in which impacting money can be spent to provide funding for projects in the adjacent neighborhoods. Broadening the membership relative to the first, that is the existing boundary of one mile . Currently, the funds, the infrastructure funds can be spent in the planning area or within 250 feet . Ok. Broadening the membership of the market activity cac, allowing a land dedication option for Affordable Housing requirements in the adjacent neighborhoods and new requirement to support Community Serving use thats the groundfloor. Expanding the unit mixed requirement and new general plan policy to apply a racial and social lense to future land use decisions. New requirements to ensure that residential uses are the primary land use and so no stand alone hotel or office use would be permitted. And then allowing for more Affordable Housing with commission discretion and public input. This is not the end of the equity work and association with the hub. Last week we Heard Community members asking for further equity work and this work is beginning now. Todd co has hired advisers to develop guidelines for the hub area. This work will identify goals, benefits and burdens and we look forward to hearing from the community and consultants throughout this process. Id like to leave you with the knowledge that a an explicit sht towards equality. The Planning Commission adopted phase 1 of the departments actions plan and this focus on the departments internal functions such as hiring and contracting. Phase 2 and underway now and this work will focus on the departments external functions. Such as community outreach, community plan, and regulations. And as part of phase 2, the department will continue to refine and adapt the equity Assessment Tool in collaboration with our commissions, this board and the public. So that concludes my presentation. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide this overview. And look forward to answering any questions. Thank you mrs. Langois. Are you saying that you agree with the proposal thats been set fourth by the community to do additional equity work as it relates to 15 of the 18 parcels of real estate that are before us . What are you saying . Im saying the department is supportive of doing further equity work and we acknowledge that this Assessment Tool in the lens is new for us and that we can learn from consultants and from the community and having continuing that conversation is important and i think removing the 15 sites as an opportunity to have this future conversation, i think we have expressed some of the concerns and some of the things that the city loses by making that amendment and i understand the concerns that the communities had around the proposed legislation as it stands. Thank you, that was a perfect summation but i wont say i am delighted that the Planning Department appears to be turning the page your record notwithstanding. With that supervisor preston. Thank you chair peskin. I am some row mark remarks but o chair, if you or supervisor safai had questions specifically, i didnt want to jump in on one of those. I wouldnt say the presentation by planning is actually one of the best presentations i have seen. It is actually, to my mind, kind of an admission that planning has never seen urban development through an equity lense until now. Thats been pushed through politics. That has been pushed through elections and that is the first time ive heard this from planning so i cannot tell you how appreciative i am that you are finally speaking the department, the peoples language and albeit maybe theres some dis correspondence withidiscordance withinyour dep. I concur with you on that. Im going to step back and talk a little more broadly about the Hub Development and the broader breast strokes what the Community Proposal is here. In terms of moving forward. Can you hear me ok . Chair peskin, you just froze on my screen and i dont know if its on my end or yours . I can hear you fine. Great, thank you. So, first off, thank you chair peskin and supervisor safai for continuing this last week. This matter for a week and its been helpful for everybody to be able to digest all the details of the plan. The package that is before us is very broad in scope seeking to rezone 84 acres around the intersection of market known as the hub and outlined by planning last week. There are four pieces of legislation thatten pusses and hub area plan including a investmentments to the general plan business and tax code and related so i knowing maps and its a very broad and very significant proposal taken in its entirety and it will have an impact not just the neighborhood but surrounding neighborhoods that i would argue the entire city. Its been referenced, 18 total parcels at issue and they have the rules changed with regard to what can be built on these sites and how tall, sense and how much residential and how much commercial and most importantly for whom. I think the stakes here he very high. The area plan will increase height density and traffic in this part of the city. I think the area offers significant opportunities to create Affordable Housing units, invest in Public Transit and mobility more generally. I want to thank the Planning Department staff for a lot of work has gone into this and this is a comprehensive proposal for the hub and theres been enormous work that has gone into this and the proposal that im laying out today which are community and led proposals and should not necessarily, should not be read as a criticism of the Planning Departments efforts in doing the Equity Analysis thats been addressed but reflect more the importance of this area and necessity for us to do it right. If we are serious and i believe we are Racial Equity we need to look at proposal and do it through a process that is communityled. Some of this work on equity was done a year ago but unfortunately the more recent efforts by our office and the other office is impacted has been our outreach efforts that have been limited by the pandemic in recent months. Its made it much more difficult to have Meaningful Community engagement other than online forums. We have heard loud and clear from the coalition of Community Stakeholders led by communities of color they have concerns around what is proposed in the hub area plan. They reviewed the proposal and theyve come to us with a question and supervisor chair peskin, allude today it earlier we have a phased approach to allow height and zoning changes for the project that gone through a thorough Community Discussion and pausing temporarily on moving forward until we can complete the more thorough race specific witty analysis that was previously mentioned. Particularly its imperative we as elected leaders centers and elevate the concerns that we hear from low income communities and communities of color and thats the spirit of the amendments that im interesting today and at the same time i think advocates have been careful here to thread the needle by allowing certain key sites to move forward and those are the furnished along in the process and have Significant Community benefits in the form of Affordable Housing in particular. And so ive circulated amendments colleagues and doing so as a request of Community Groups in conjunction with the other supervisor offices impacted directly specifically supervisor haneys office and also indirectly vice supervisor ronens office and these amendments speak to limit the zoning changes to the three sites that have gone through a Community Process, the project site at 30 van ness and 10 south vaness and 98 franklin. The result of which is a considerable package of Public Benefits at each site. With buy in from the community we would essentially be fast tracking the necessary changes for these three sites in phase 1 and at the same time taking the time we need before moving forward with the broader rezoning. Were pausing for specific purpose as i mentioned which is to allow more thorough race specific witty analysis on what the effects will be on communities of color of the complete hub plan. The process to scope this analysis is underway and its our intention to allow no more than six months for its completion. Its important for stakeholders on all sides, to understand that nothing in this plan nothing in the four pieces of legislation before us, is being rejected today. Rather, i will be moving to duplicate relevant files and with the agreement of colleagues i hope and if i do so, well effectively be keeping the broader discussions of the other parcels and the broader rezone ago life at committee while moving forward to the full board with the projects that are in the process ofen title. And have offered the Significant Community benefits that i mentioned. I know, i want to mention the extent of the Public Benefits and these what are drives the Community Support for moving forward with these projects so at 30 van ness, 25 of the proposed 333 units will be offered at below market rate and 10 million will be allocated in Affordable Housing fees to the city, which will be directed to construct proposed Affordable Housing projects at fifth and howard or fourth and fulsome in the project area. At 98 franklin street, which south only one of the three key sites in that district and the proposals for 345 unit Residential Projects situated on top of five story podium which will serve as the new home of the French American International school as well as some 3,200 square feet of retail space on the groundfloor. Working with both the Community Groups and my Office Related properties the developer has agreed to include 25 on site affordable there and higher than the legally required amount and particularly encouraged that of the affordable units, 80 of them, thats 69 units will be earmarked for deeply affordable for households earning 50 of the area an medium income and the 17 Additional Units will be for households earning no more than 100 of the Median Income. The developer deserves credit for working closely with the community and my office in agreeing to significantly proceed the legally required number of affordable units and i want to send my gratitude to the head of school and many many families and parents at the French American High School and students and alone who contacted our office and conveyed the importance of the project for our School Community and their overcomeeling support and especially with enormous challenges for San Francisco families and uncertainties around Family Health and safe tea and when schools will open and we appreciate the families who reached out and shared their thoughts about this project. I also want to know that my office has been interested in whether some of the particular Affordable Housing fees that are required for the area and then 98 franklin developer left to pay another 5. 8 million in area specific housing fees, we have been interested in whether those could instead be satisfied by getting even more on site affordable units and at 98 franklin and more broadly in the sub and its in the future to the other 15 sites. In discussing and exploring this, its become clear that there needs to be a more refined methodology for calculating the number of units that the fees s equates to. So among the other amendments ill offer a non substantive amendment that will authorize the Planning Department and Mayors Office of housing and Community Development to clarify the methodology for how many on site units equate to these areas specific fees as an option for developer and i want to specifically recognize that the developer at 98 franklin have indicated openness to further increasing the number of on side affordable units in lieu of the 5. 8 million. When that methodology is clarified and we have a chance to see how many units that would be were not obligated to provide those units on site, they were free to pay the fee but the office looks forward to continuing discussions with possible additional on site units when we have the methodology laid out how many units that would be and the project at 10 south van ness is for a mixed use residential and Retail Project with a total of 966 units of housing and 29,000 square feet of Service Space and as part of the Community Benefits package, the developer has agreed to allocate their Affordable Housing obligations to a land dedication for creating 100 permanently Affordable Housing and while the city has not played a formal role in negotiations, my understanding is among the sites being considered for this land dedication, its 1979 Mission Street and no one as the monster in the mission. And that site, colleagues as you know, has been the subject of nearly a decade of organizing work for housing justice advocates and Mission District active in particular leaders from the latino community. And while the approvals dont require the developer to acquire and dedicate 199 Mission Property specifically we know Community Activists see todays approval as commissioner to securing a 100 affordable site and i will say this, if this were to come to fruition at 1979 mission, it would be an incredible win and a testament to the power of Community Organizing and for the miss district and the Housing Movement in at large and for a neighborhood that has suffered the displacement of more than 8,000 latinos and over the past decade to lay the groundwork for 100 and envision and articulate as the marvel in the mission would be a milestone and an incredible accomplishment in this city. Taken together these three sites have gone through a robust process involving community and various stakeholders and the results are three projects that have Community Support. And are appropriate to confer the significant benefits enclouded in the legislative package today. Namely the ability to build at much higher scales than previously allowed. These projects have been before the court for just a little bit over a month and are being fast tracked but the the remainder of the parcel to the area plan do not yet have specific vetted proposals and not gone through this process and i believe its in the best interest and city particularly given the reasonable requests for a equity study to be completed to address these other parcels in a phase two of the hub area plan. Theyre not ready to move forward. But enemy leon the sustainability district legislation its one of the items before us today. This over lay as i understand it, would allow for ministerial approvals for project that meets certain minimum thresholds. I want to be very clear for the members of the labor community, who have reached out about this, that we are not rejecting and im not proposing that we reject, any part of the proposal that is before us today. We would be pausing to further the housing sustainability legislation and if a project in this area plan moved forward in the interim, nothing would prohibit or preclude and benefits and i would hope and would work with my colleagues to ensure that any such proposal would include nothing less as is standard for projects of this scale in recent history in San Francisco. Well admit that i have some discomfort locking in longterm changes for this entire central area of the city with so much uncertainty right now. About what the future holds. We should act deliberately in planning for the next 40 years and especially when we do not know what the next 48 hours may look like. Its part of the race anden Equity Analysis and we have a meaningful opportunity to weigh in with support with opposition and proposed changes. This has been a challenge and get in the pan and i know for my office and for you colleagues that are constituents, that its been hard, as i said, to engage with our constituents. Its been extremely challenging to look at the feedback and and its been a major transportation issue that are present. The market octavia has been a congestion nightmare and the prospect of adding thousands Additional Units and with them more than 2,000 private parking spaces, it seems like a formula that could significantly exacerbate an exiting problem. Add to that and
