Commissioner moore and commissioner president tanner i so move commissioners. That motion passes unanimously 7 to 0, placing us on item 13 for commission comments and questions. Any comments or questions . Commissioners all right, commissioner mark this morning and actually in some other minor newspaper yesterday i read something about a new form of housing called pods. And im not sure if you all have read about it. It sounds kind of like fun, but im not quite sure if it fits of what we all have in mind. So i direct my question to director hillis as to whether or not you will update us or have any forecast of what this may be. Yeah, we i saw that as well. Weve got an enforcement case open because, as you suspected, it does not meet the code requirements. But you know, well we can follow up and give you an update on what happens. I thought it would be kind of like a youth hostel perhaps, or something to that extent. Well, well let you know, though. We can give you more details on that. Okay thatd be great. Thanks thank you. I dont see any other commissioners with their hands up. Thank you. Theres nothing further, commissioner. Was Department Matters item 14 directors announcements. Just one item. Um. You know, were nearing the end of the state legislative session, so all bills have either passed or not passed out of both houses of the state legislature and are sitting on the governors desk there are a couple of them that are significant to us that relate mostly to housing, but land use items as well. And we plan to come to you in november with an information hearing as we digest them. One i wanted to note because it was in the newspaper and that was sb 2423, which is an extension of sb 35. So basically allowing for ministerial approval if were not meeting our rena target, thats where we measure whether were meeting our rena targets was going to take place in year four of our arena cycle. And then year eight of our arena cycle, which would be 2027. That bill was amended so that we have to look and see how were doing in relation to our rena cycles in year one. So at the end of this year, and if were not meeting our goals is either market rate or Affordable Housing projects or both become ministerial. So thats a significant change. So well come and talk more to you about that. But just wanted to highlight that and again, its on the governors desk. We believe the governor will sign that. So more to come on that in a couple other state bills. I was going to say are there may be some other bills, but i know we routinely get an update, i think as the legislative cycle moves forward on kind of what passes and what we might need to look forward to, or were going to get a hearing in november that just talks about all these great commissioner diamond, director hillis, if you could just elaborate a little bit, we have to make meet one eighth of the goal in year one. I see both in the affordable category and in the market rate. Well, they looked at separately. Yes. So as you can imagine, were not going to meet our rena goals in year one, which is, you know, 8000 a year. So you know, after we report to hcd, they accept our report that we didnt meet our rena goals, which will be sometime early in the spring of next year. Ministerial approval would kick in. Weve obviously got history with that because we havent met our affordable goals. So weve approved projects. Ministerially under sb 35 for affordable projects thatll obviously kick in for market rate projects as well. Theres limitations to it. Youve got to be creating two or more units. Yes, they cant be subject to rent control the existing units or there cant be existing units subject to rent control. It cant be individually listed locally or on the state or national register. There are labor provisions, so theres details. Every project is not eligible for it that will come and talk to you about when you come back to us with a fuller report. Will you be able to tell us how many applications are pending that this might apply to . So we have some sense as to the magnitude of the impact of this provision . Yeah. Thank you, commissioner. More on the Positive Side as the discussion of adaptive reuse of office is heating up, which in the beginning when it was brought up, was actually not perceived particularly well. Would that give us a break on our Housing Element . Because that particular building type was not introduced as a candidate resource for housing anyway . Yeah. I mean, theyll definitely count towards our rena goals if we create the warfield building is moving forward. Currently itll create 40 units. We issued an rfi with food. Responses were due this past week. There were ten responses as i think close to a thousand units where sponsors said, were interested, but we need certain kind of concessions from the city in order to make these projects feasible. So were looking at that and how those kind of guide guide our our policy decisions and land use changes or code changes in the future. So well also come back and talk to you about those, but those will certainly count towards our rena goals and some of those projects 100 affordable as well, which was exciting to see. So youll hear more about that as well. Its a slightly more stinging question, but can we also look for financial mechanisms . Im not talking at calling it help from the state as well as from the federal government because the housing shortages are a national problem, not a solely San Francisco focused problem. And i would be interested to see as to whether or not we are also entertaining discussions about financing, which is basically ultimate be the stumbling stone of why were not moving. Absolutely i mean, were already doing that regardless of conversions, figuring out how we finance and get resources to build the 46,000 units of Affordable Housing we need to build so that is, you know, as weve talked to you in the past, its part of our work Program Going forward. Commissioner id like to respectfully remind you this is not an agendized item and we should. Jonas is always such a limit, but the discussion related to it. But thats part of our thats part of our work program and could it apply or could there be mechanism terms that apply to office to residential conversions separately . Sure. Were looking at that. I would be interested for the department to keep us really posted, not even to schedule a special short discussion on it. Once that agenda is. Sorry, sorry, john. Sorry john. This is a very burning issue and i think everybody is trying to find constructive solutions. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner rees, i saw your hand went down. Did you want to make any comments offline . Okay great. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Thank you, commissioners. If theres nothing further, item 15 review of past events at the board of supervisors. I have no report from the board of appeals and the Historic Preservation commission did not meet yesterday. Uh, good afternoon, commissioners. Aaron starr, manager of legislative affairs. This week the Land Use Committee was canceled. However, they did meet last week, first, on last weeks agenda was the duplicate file for the Development Impact fee reductions. The prior week supervisor sophiae proposed amendments to the ordinance that would allow Pipeline Projects projects between 10 and 24 units and those under msf to receive inclusionary rate reduction. As the item passed out of committee withoutrillionecommendation on a unanimous vote, the Committee Also considered a resolution initiating landmark designation for San Francisco fire station number 44. The station is located at 1298 gerrard street in district ten. Supervisor waltons district, who is also the sponsor. A few speakers called in to support the resolution. The item was then forwarded to the full board with the positive recommendation. This is just an initiation and it starts the designation process as it still needs to be reviewed and acted on by the hpc. Next on the agenda was a landmark designation of the colombo market arch, located at 600 front street. The arch is the last remaining remnant of the building that was used to house the colombo market, which was eventually torn down as part of redevelopment to the embarcadero. During the hearings, supervisor peskin, who is the sponsor, praised the designation report and said how much he enjoyed reading it and that he learned a lot from the report. There were a few speakers who called in to express support for the designation on and after closing Public Comment from supervisor peskin, the item was unanimously referred to the full board with a positive recommendation. Finally, the committee considered the mayors constraints reduction ordinance. Commissioners, you consider this item in june of this year and voted to recommend approval with modifications. Those modifications included including adding a tenant buyout provision to the eligibility list to be exempt from demarcus and language to maintain the 15 foot setback when there is a predominant street pattern of a 15 foot setback, the Mayors Office did take all of the Planning Commissions recommended modifications and had a set of proposed modifications to introduce at the land use hearing. They included items like maintaining the queue for large lot developments in priority equity, geographies and expanding the priority equity geographies to include all of chimenticook row planning staff. Read these into the record. However, the committee did not take a vote and to accept the modification, saying they need more time to review and understand them. The Mayors Office did not send a representative to the hearing and instead relied on planning staff to answer questions about the proposed ordinance. Questions from the Committee Members were intense at times, mainly focused on how the Mayors Office plans to build the 42,000 Affordable Housing units called fo
