Thank you commissioners on that motion to adopt your minutes. Commissioner braun high commissioner ruiz high commissioner imperial high commissioner coppell high Commission Chair more i move commissioners that motion passes unanimously 5 to 0 item 19 commission comments and questions. Id like to lead off with some positive comments. We had a Beautiful Day last wednesday where we gathered at the groundbreaking for the mass Sophie Maxwell house at dogpatch plant power plant and it was a remarkable day, not only because of the weather, the sights, the energy of people gathering for some positive event. It is 108 years knit, building Affordable Housing that, despite all the doomsday talk we hear indeed is materializing itself. And now actually under directors comments, ill ask director hillis to give us a little bit more detail on the incredible, innovative financing mechanisms that have been used on this project for those of you who havent been there, we should all be happy and proud that its nothing. It is not always. It doesnt happen. Things do happen. And this one is a remarkable project to acknowledge the. Second point that i like to ask is. Theres lots of strange news out there. And last thursday and the standard there was a letter published that mayor breed sent to all Department Heads and that letter implies that there are additional budget cuts, midyear budget cuts expected despite the fact that the overall budget was a lot of pain, was approved and that she, for reasons probably looking ahead, is asking for additional cuts. That is not only disturbing because we ourselves as a commission worked very hard to support the budget, but knowing how difficult it has been for the department to really comply and i will be asking director hillis to speak more to whats ahead for the department, but also how he can inform the commission and work with the commission for a reasonable outcome. Because this is very, very difficult to take at this particular juncture that was not so positive. But hopefully we can find a positive outcome to this and the last thing is i was originally attempted to pull one item of consent, and that is with an approval of a cannabis facility on mission street. And while it is not the facility itself that made me wonder, it is my concern that we need to find new parameters to look at Cannabis Retail. Because if indeed Everything Else were reading about the financial strain and lack of success that Cannabis Retail has for small entrepreneurial businesses, i feel very hard pressed to continue to approve something which i believe does not have a very positive future. I want to put this out just as a reminder ask the director, the department , including the commission, to have a conversation about about how we are potentially creating long term vacancies by allowing users which at this moment are not filling any vacancies. I leave it with that and ill be looking for commissioner imperial. Um, do you want director hillis to respond in some of your. Either way, just on the, on the financing of the 100 affordable prop project, i believe it was our first project where were using recycled bonds. Its not exactly a term im totally familiar with, but i think its using past allocations where bonds are paid off in kind of reissuing Affordable Housing bonds. And its also a part, you know, this was 100 affordable project required under the da, but you know, amazing that they started with that project as their first project to break ground. So i agree with you, commissioner, more. Its great to see this project moving forward when were hearing elsewhere that a lot of projects are infeasible. Ms. Topia actually volunteered to give us a presentation on on the details. It may inspire other people. Sure, she deserves the credit. Together with director shaw and most likely miss dennis phillips. Yeah, and well talk about, you know, were going to come talk to you, i believe in the new year about the findings that that are Affordable HousingLeadership Council is making and the recommendations theyre going to make on how we get to the 46,000 units of Affordable Housing were being asked to build under our Housing Element. And that certainly will be a strategy we talk about so we can we can incorporate it in that discussion as well. Um, budget wise, its a tough year for the city and the and the Department Fees are down significantly, even from, from the levels that we cut them because we did take cuts to our fees or we anticipated less revenue this year than we were. We were budgeting in prior years. But were not hitting those targets. You know, and i think weve been lagging about 1 million to 1 million and a half in fee revenue from what were budgeted. So if that continues, you know, thats a significant 10 million hole in our budget. The Mayors Office did give us a target of about 350,000. Were meeting that by cutting two vacant positions. Theyre funded but vacant. I mean, we think thats not going to be a big problem. But next year, as we look to the budget, you know, we do foresee some a tough budget year, both because of the general fund is not meeting their revenue targets and nor are we with our fee revenues. So definitely a lot more to come on that. So you feel comfortable that you have reached a general understanding that will not impair our current programs or the emphasis on particular aspects of what were doing for this year . But i think we may have to make some tough choices next year. Thank you very much. Yeah is there anybody else who would like to make a comment . Um, ill yeah, i covid im sorry. Um, thank you for that. So i also have one to bring out. I was informed or by one of the Committee Members about that right now the, the plan i understand that the Planning Department is doing can be engaged about the planning code audits. Id like to hear to give us updates on whats going on in that. And also there were some conversations from the Community Members about how the conversation can go in the planning code, audits on when its being tried to based on the racial social equity lens. So perhaps thats something also we need to look into and perhaps if the you know, if the Community Engagement team can provide us an information as to how those conversations, actions are going. Um, and so, so that at least the commissioners, we, we are knowledgeable as to what are the feedbacks from the Community Members themselves and how, how, you know, the, our team is also focusing on the racial social equity. So thats something that hopefully we can you know, have a discussion with. And i guess my question on that, on the planning code audits, one is what is the timeline for that. Hi, liz. Director of current planning. We are in terms of the planning code audit, just a couple points i can give you. I cant go super deep into the weeds, but we are wrapping up our contract with gensler. We had a consultant who is helping us sort of structure this approach and figure out sort of what our game plan was for how we were going to approach this issue in general. So were wrapping up our contract with them and their final deliverables with us. Our effort is 100 based in racial and social equity. So that is the exclusive lens that were using for this effort. Theres sort of no other aspect to this effort. So its entirely an effort. I know our community, our core team that we have working on it, where we have representation from our Community Equity division as well as from current planning, have had a series of Community Meetings with a lot of different groups of folks. I dont know everyone whos been involved yet, but weve done a fair amount of Community Outreach on that and were going to be pulling forward shortly, i would say, in the next several months, sort of our first round of recommendations. And so we will for sure be bringing that to the commission in both with an overview of how were kind of approaching this. Again, its a new thing for us, but how were approaching it and sort of that framework and tool kit that were developing our first set of recommendations. But we do and were planning youll see this in particularly in the current planning budget moving forward for next year, that were intending this to be an ongoing effort. But where in the same way that we make planning code cleanup efforts over the years and we kind of always have a package that we bring to you, well similarly be bringing sort of recurring suggestions for amendments to the planning code through an audit lens so that were doing our first batch to kind of more establish the framework and give you kind of a taste of here are some of the suggestions that well have. But we see this as being a really almost never ending effort to some degree. So hopefully that gives you sort of a little 10,000ft. But i would say certainly before the end of the fiscal year. But likely i would anticipate probably quarter one will have some sort of updates that were able to bring to the commission. Thank you very much for that update. And also, one thing that i actually also dont want to pull out from the consent calendar from the consent calendar, but i feel like its, you know, looking into it with justified. However its about the laundromat. And my on
