Clerk item number 1 is planning code for fleet charging, location this may be sent to board of supervisors for tomorrows meeting. Thank you, very much, i would like to welcome district 11 supervisor, connie chan. Thank you so much for having this item before you today. This item was voted at the Planning Commission, we unanimously just last month and now its before you. The fleet charging locations and Parcel DeliveryService Legislation is really with the intention to think about the rapid expansion of ecommerce throughout San Francisco and how its impacting our Small Businesses as well as our workers. With conversation with stakeholders as well as what our City Attorney, this legislation came about in a way to figure out, the most impactful and affective way to give this conversation around protecting Small Businesses and workers a tool for us to continue to do so, and its really a way to regulating Parcel Delivery services at fleet charging locations so that we can think about other ways to boost Small Businesses and protection for our workers. Sol its pretty straightforward, the language but i do have amendments today. And that language have shared already shared with you in advance of this meeting. But its really specifically on page , line 15, with the section of definition of fleet charging. This language was actually discussed at Planning Commission which, and also proposed by planning staff part of it was actually by planning staff. That is a parcel tlifr activity including unloading, sorting and or reloading merchandise for deliveries. So that is to clarify that, these types of activities is not allow whether south side a principle or accessory use at fleet charging station. Im happy to answer any questions that you may have today for full transparency, colleagues i have also introduced legislation for a continual use authorization for Parcel DeliveryService Facilities with the very much the same goal to think about how we can further to, you know, further legislate to protect Small Business and workers in San Francisco as ecommerce continues to expand. I see that we have planning staff here today and can also already any questions. But im going to leave it for the planning to make a brief presentation. Thank you. Thank you. Good arne, and thank you, chair and supervisor peskin and chan. I want to reiterate what supervisor chan said they voted to unanimous lea proof the ordinance with minor amendment which we thank you supervisor chan for including in the vexer before this committee today. And yes, i am available if you have any questions. Thank you so much. Just before we go further, i would like to have a warm welcome to den6 of the scouts, thanks for being here. Okay, if there are no questions or comments, colleagues, lets go to Public Comment on this item. Clerk thank you, we will hear Public Comment on agenda item 1. If you have Public Comment please come to the electrictern on the western side of the room and youll have three minutes each. First speaker please. Speaker good afternoon, thank you for this time today and we, im mark and im here speaking on behalf of Teamsters Council 6, the officers there who have been working on this project and this concern for quite sometime. We want to extend a special thank you to supervisor chan and her legislative staff for hearing our concerns. About the working continues of Parcel Delivery work sxerz throughout california that service our neighborhoods and our communities, and our business. This is a very important item for us and we believe its some clarification, that there is going to be beneficial to the workers but also to the city at large and understanding what is going to happen with the expansion of fleet charging stations and what kind of work will be there and what kind of work will not be there. And with that to add a more detail to all of this is the attothrn joint council has retained on this matter, Going Forward peter will be speaking right after me. So again thank you very much for your consideration and support today. Clerk thank you very much, for your comments. Next speaker. Speaker thank you for carrying this legislation forward. I mean this legislation seems fairly obvious that when you have fleet at a discreet land use at a location that any other have to face tra tra additional for approval. But that has not been the case in terms of applicant perspective, thats what should be going on as an activity at that site and not other activities without approval for planning. So this legislation does precisely that. Its important though it seems obvious to make this clear because its clear that applicants did not understand that this was the case. We appreciate this clarification, we think it does a good job of making it very clear what uses and what locations as we get a little bit further into a world of a v vehicles, the world is going to be a little more complicated and the planning code needs to adapt for to that. Clerk thank you very much. Do we have anybody else who has Public Comment on item number 1. Madam chair. Okay, with that, item number 1 is closed. Supervisor chan. Thank you, chair, chair would love your support to consider this item as a Committee Report for tomorrows Board Meeting tuesday december 129ing.

We have legislative aid for from supervisor ronens and Anne Cervantes, xhair and founder of the latino historic society, welcome ms. Herrera. Good afternoon, vice chair preston and peskin. Two adjoining murals. Within the calle24, latino district. The items before you provide a significant opportunity for board to recognize these murals at the heart of the commission. It celebrate the carnival festival by latinx performers in the mission for over 40 years. The cha ta accepts chata who was the first disc jockey for 85. 5 where she hosted con clave the longest Running Program until she sadly passed away in 2013. There is a congrafe and beautiful exception. Thank you to the Latino Historical Society for the Background Research presented to you today. Both of them represent and celebrate the culture contributions of San Franciscos Latinx Community and the Mission District and supervisor ronen asked for your support. Thank you very much. We will now hear from ms. Lovali. Thank you so much. I had to get my slide. Good afternoon, chair melgar and supervisors. The prehistoric commission reviewed the designations of these mural on september 13, 2023. The chata mural was painted in 2015, by cookie go sa lez, the 20 by 22 foot mural located on the side west of residential building is a tribute to a culture icon as a culture asset to celebrate the Latin Music Movement and significant vibrant part of San Francisco cultural heritage. The carnival mural is among the largest and most prominent murals. It was painted in 11993 with assistance from other artist. The 75by 24 foot mural located at a resident mrats depicts latino businesses. Carnival mural sl a culture asset that celebrates latin culture and music in the district and significant and vibrant part of San Franciscos cultural heritage. Heard Public Comment in support of designation and voted unanimously recommending designation of these two mural that have high artistic value and are representative of the Community Arts movement. The Commission Found that the carnival mural and chata meet status. Thank you that concludes my presentation. Thank you, m ms. Lavali. Ms. Cervantes, did you have a presentation . My name is Anne Cervantes. Im an advocate in my community organizer, it ournz out, i should have probably worked for the unions. What i want to say here today and i thank people who preceded. Im sorry, thank you please pull the mic so we can hear you. Speaker okay. Speaker here we go. I want to thank supervisor ronen because a lot of our landmarks are in her district and she has taken the lead that these assets are documented in first voice, rather than from planing staffs voice. We determine which were important to the community. And i felt that these collaborative with community, these two muirials were atrisk. But i also want to thank the valley in drafting the planning document and move this landmarking forward. But these two murals are really important because theyre representative of the Chicano Mural Movement in the 70s. These Mission District artist were influenced most of them went to the California College of arts and craft and i think, did i say that right . So, and the important in that fact that the mural is wanted bring art to the community and now is one of the largest public outdoor galleries. Because we knew at the time when people were add voluntary kaigt for the Cultural Centers to be established in each of the low income districts in support for the bond for symphony hall, they basically said why dont we bring art to the community and they want today beautify the neighborhood with the beautiful murals and that was the intent that the muralist did in the community. But this is really, the first of the mural thats are being documented as a Historic Resource that defines their space. So i wanted to thank you, today were going to have, were going to have cookie gonzalez, but he caught covid but we have the muralist for the carnival mural. But i want to thank all the supervisors including supervisor peskin, to really make sure that our Historical Resources are documented in first voice in our ethnic en clays in the city. I hope that you continue to support the efforts that come up from the Grass Roots Community in designing their space. Thank you very much and i support you support the landmarking. Thank you, ms. Cervantes. Okay, if there is no questions or comments, lets go to Public Comment on the item. Clerk thank you, madam chair, if you have Public Comment on 2 and 3 called together related to these two mural line up on the west part of the room that im pointing out and come when its your turn to speak. We will hear from the first speaker when theyre ready. Speaker hi, im daniel who create the carnival mural 40 years to this practically. I i was living in oakland, some feedback on what makes up the mission. I spoke with rene yanez an icon at the time, and i said, dude, what should the it. And he said carnival going on in the mission and will be going for years. Soy went on to do a little more photography so inen grain this mural, so that included the theater, the discolanda, la galleryia, i went to ask a prominent photographer who should be documented carnival to let me have access to his photographs. So with that in keeping, that became the heart and soul. The colorful businesses that make up the Mission District to really make this mural anchored right into the space. Because after 40 years, this is probably my most famous mural simply because of its iconic and wonderful status thats been embraced by the community. And i feel jazzed and honored that the mural has come where people want to designate it to protect it from another building and then blocking it. Again i want to thank you for allowing me to speak. I put my heart and soul in that muirial and it was restored, it will last easily. Clerk thank you, for sharing your comments. Sorry to cut you off, we have to move on to the next speaker.

Chatas mural, chaa was a very important woman in the latino community.

Noting a motion that these two items be recommended to tomorrows Board Meeting, on that motion, preston. Aye. Peskin. Aye. Melgar. Aye. There are three ayes. That motion has passed, congratulations every one. [applause] lets go to number 5. Clerk 5 or 4 . Im sorry, item 4. Clerk codes amending findings enactment. Ordinance amend ing the local findings included in the reference for the roll. 1, 4, and 3 and 4, San Francisco plumbing code as required by state law. Okay, thank you so much. We are joined by carnecita, thank you for being here. Thank you, good afternoon, im carl necita for the department of building inspection. This ordinance would make technical edit to the local 2022 San Francisco building roads. Just a bit of background for you. Last year consistent with the try annual Commission Code cycle this board of supervisor as dopted the 2022 building codes comprised of the building code, Green Building code, mechanical code and plumbing code and as part of that process, the board made express findings, section by section that each San Francisco amendment was reasonably necessary due to local conditions, typically regarding topography, geology and climate. The findings are contained to each of the 22 codes and on file with the clerk of supervisors. Here you can see a list of findings in the 22 codes, there are 17 of them. And here you can see an excerpt from the San Francisco building code. Listing San Francisco local amounts and the associated findings. So what is the issue . And what why ordinance necessary . In its review, the Building Commission discovered some technical emissions through the findings through the 2022 codes and questioned correction to the files. This would make the corrected by updating the local index for each of those ordinances and they would update the board files for the ordinances with the amended findings. I think of critical importance this ordinance does not change any of the underlying index codes. And just to note on october 12, 2023, the department of building inspection code Advisor Committee made a unanimous recommendation to recommend this ordinance to the board and then on october 18th, the building inspection did make that unanimous investigation to the board. Im happy to answer any questions. Thank you so much, mr. Necita, any questions . Well mr. Clerk, lets go to Public Comment on this item, please jao. Thank you, do we have anyone who has welcome related to the Green Building and mechanical and plumbing codes . If so, please come forward at this time. And it appears we have no speakers. With that, Public Comment on this item is closed. Is would like to make a motion that we send this to the full board with a positive recommendation. Clerk motion offered by chair melgar, vice pressure preston. Aye. Peskin. Aye. Chair melgar. Aye. Madam chair, there are three ayes. Thank you, the motion pasz. Mr. Clerk, lets go to item number 5, now please. Clerk agenda item number 5, is an ordinance amending the planning code to encourage Housing Production by 11, exemption under certain continues pes spied housing projects. [reading ordinance] large resident use district at the end of 2024 and therefore limiting the size of any dwelling units resulting from those special use district to 3,000 square feet of gross floor area and making conforming amendments to other sections of the planning code. And a efficientlying the ceqa findings and various different findings. Madam chair this has been agendized and may be sent to tomorrows board of supervisors meeting. Yes thank you, i promise we will be done with this some day. But you will remember that we continued this from last week at the request of president peskin. In addition to that, the Planning Department has some requested amendmented that were heard by Planning Commission. I will turn it over to president peskin to make remarks first and have you present, mr. Star. Okay, president. I dont know that i have anything new. The amendment thats were made last week, some of them were substancetive and needed to be heard here. I dont know if they needed to be they were discussed at the Planning Commission. But in the interim, i think there are a number of amendments that i guess aaron star, emailed some of them to us last thursday. I admit i did not put my eyes on them until today. But in any event theyre deemed to be substancestive so we cannot vote on them today. Okay, mr. Star. So the amendment right side pretty straightforward, they would replace the phrase Building Permits with planning enterment in section 311, were proposing this because of resent changes to state law in a b114 which requires them to be approved within 15 days. There is concern that using the Building Permit would subject them to the 15day approval process. So amendments that i sent to you, are pretty much that. I do have 6 copies for the clerk and yeah, im happy to answer any questions. Yes, president peskin. So sorry, if these questions sound naive but these exponentially evolving landscape as more and more local authority gets preempted more and more, who is author of this 1114 . Out of curiosity. Sorry, i dont have that with me. Thats okay, we can figure that out. Is there a definition of post entitlement . No, i dont believe there is a definition in the code that has that. By were saying planning entitlement. Planning entitlement, sorry. Sorry. The Building Permit which has to be deemed accept tiff within 15 days for us to accept, we have had to do the 311, 31 takes 30 days and we dont get the notice out within 60 days. I have this sinking suspicious that the state does not know what theyre doing. Do you think the building inspection can plan check, complex plans in 15 days . If they had a room full of room, is that whether this says . Is realize you dont work for the Building Department. Im not familiar with the state law says. I cannot answer that for the Building Department. And hainy was the sponsor of 1114. So like the state, there is a lovely article in the chronicle about some poor guy, and this seems more on planning than the building. None of this was politics, none of had to do with politics it just had to do with the fact that guy was getting bad service and one person told him one thing and got khunted and took him like a year to build his deck. None had to do with the law change. It was just bureaucrats not getting their act today. But what youre telling me is complex sets of plans are going to have to be a approved by a Building Department in 15 days . How is that possible . I think that the Building Permit has to be deemed, we have to accept it within 15 days. If you want to know more about 1114, kate is well versed and we can set up a meeting for you to go over it. Is assembly hainy send you money for changing laws every 15 minutes . Im done. Okay, thank you, president peskin. If there is no other question or comment, lets go to Public Comment on this item. Thank you, madam chair. If youre here for Public Comment, please come forward to electricrum at this time and looks like we have one speaker. Please begin. Speaker thank you very much. We want to thank peskin for their work to recognize the needs for culture communities to have an extensive voice in an expanded creation of objective guidelines. So thank you. A critical would be the sledge sleighsing proposal that density project should not be subject to any other and underlying a mraof als related to the proposed housing, close quote, is in direct violation of Housing Action 9. 4. 2 among others which states the city will remove conditional use authorization outside of priority equity geographies and areas vulnerable, close quote. If not corrected, the mission expects to see widespread, from mission and 24 street. Including many not yet registered like those we just saw and the demolition of not yet Historic Buildings along with the loss of other cultural assets. So we continue to ask hcd to please work with this board and give them the time and resources to bring these into compliance. It appears we have no more speakers. Thank you, with this, Public Comment is now closed. So it seems to me that because the words planning entitlement and the other changes, or some of the other changes being proposed are deemed by the City Attorney to be substance tiff is what we want to do is adopt those things and continue to our next meeting. Because we cannot send it out to committee today. And since this is our last meeting for the year, you would want to work on a plan . Rather thap art or practice. That was a motion right . Deputy, City Attorney. There is a whole other amendments. I got an email like, an hour ago from somebody in the Mayors Office and i said oh is this the stuff in the board pact . Which this supervisor read this weekend and said, oh this is a bunch of new stuff and im just thinking like, i realize the world is changing quickly but its changing more quickly here. So i dont want to know if you want to make those amendments. Okay. City attorney, for this file which is a duplicate file of a duplicate, we have prepared amendments if you would like to make them that would essentially remove all of the section thats are not at issue right now so that well move forward will be a smaller thing that contains just those section thats are subject to amendments today. Okay, so i will make a motion to keep the language to keep the language last week which was the changes to 317 and the 311 and objective Design Standards and add the language that mr. Star suggested on thursday and strip the rest of the file. And we can continue that. Through the chair, the two first amendments that you mentioned in your list there were the amendment thats were taken last week and already appear in this ordinance. So the amendments are those presented by the Planning Department plus the conforming amendments that eliminate all the rest of the codes that are in the duplicative. Correct, so the amendments last week and today and get rid of everything else. On the motion to amend by member peskin, preston. Aye. Preston aye. Peskin. Aye. Melgar. Aye. Madam chair, there are three ayes. And i believe we made a motion to continue until the meeting of the 22. On that motion, also offered by member peskin to continue to january 22, vice chair preston. Aye. Peskin. Aye. Melgar. Aye. Madam chair, there are three ayes. Thank you, that motion passes. Lets go to item number 6. Okay, again mr. Star, welcome. Hi, good afternoon, supervisor manager of legislative affairs. Ordinance was introduced by the mayor. This um dates code updates code Assembly Bill 2221 and senate bill 997 all were affective january first. The changes are amendments that are required to make to comply with state law, its important to note that planning staff are already reviewing permits. The code would be revised to reflect the changes. Recommended approval with one modification. Typically project only add 1 to 2 a dus however there is been a few cases that are 9 have been added to the property. It does not really make sense. Since then the city has been conducting the coordinating with the statehousing community and our most response to sent on november, we i object form them that items require reseveral back to the Planning Commission. Those items are as follows. One adding an exception from the owner requirement code of junior adu if the owner is another governmental agency. Clarifying that the that 136 do not prohibit construction of adu more than 800 square feet with a rear setbacks. Emphasize wnt existing law that any review standards a doptd that are applicable to adus must remain objective. Also explain why they. Amend the hybrid adu program to permit the construction for toup three adus and amend the code to match the comprehensive list to permit construction of an add least 800 adu. And remove notification and findings explaining why the notice requirement for the hybrid adu Program Still complies with state law. Which ask that the amendments be made in committee today and we will return to this body after we take them back to the planning recommendation for review and recommendation. That concludes my report and i do have na talia here if you have any questions. And john, i do have some copies for you. Thank you, mr. Stark. President peskin. Mr. Star, i realize none of this is as of your making as the last item, not directly anyway. And its not mentioned in the staff report and its not the subject, i dont think of either one of the piece thats were conforming local law to. If they take advantage of our local program we can still subject but state ones, no. Right. So in other words, it used to be that if you did an adu, we could subject to rent control and now the state created a law that if you use the state law, you dont have to do rent control. And that was brought by what Assembly Member . I dont know. It was Assembly Member tank. I just want to say this for the record so people that are watching and i consider phil to be a friend, that all of the things that we hold sacred in San Francisco are being undermined by the state california by their own elected legislatures, im just saying, it has nothing to do with this piece of legislation but its worth pointing out. I did have a couple of questions about this legislation. Cause it is before us. On page 14, i dont think it is. The worz the department shall transmit the report for its review and public input. This information on adu shall be reported annually, why is that language deleted . Good afternoon, president peskin, supervisor melgar and preston. Natalia, if you planning staff, if you turn to page 2, there is a department report. So this language is reflation the language that is crossreference. My legislation stops at page 30. Im just looking what is in the file. Yes, that would be on page 32 of the legislation. Its approved as to form, am i . Do you have Something Different . It may be the amendments that has been distributed, thats correct. Another thing that this legislation is doing its reforming, and taking the controls that are buried in section 207 into their own section. Thats why this is a pretty lengthy legislation. A lot of this is moving to a different code section. Okay, here im having a fundamental problem and im not trying to be cute or destructive, heres how my life works. The chairperson sets the agenda, and on friday, the world gets to see the agenda. I have staff, they printout agenda. I go home and i sit and i read them and i have a pen and i make little comments preparing myself for a meeting on monday. My legislation is 30 pages in length. I have not read the legislation, i have no friginidea what im voting on. I cannot do business like that. Okay, any other comments . Im happy to read it and do my job and write comments off line or in public, but i cant take a piece, i cannot just responsible vote on 30 pages of amendments that ive never seen before. Okay, lets go to Public Comment on this item, mr. Clerk. Clerk thank you. If you have comment to this item, please come forward. Madam chair, it appears we have no speakers. This item is now closed. Mr. Star, anyone from that Planning Department talk to us about why the timing thf is what it is. Is there a reason why we need to adopt the amendments today . So those legislation that went to the Planning Commission, thats the pact that had you in advance. More recently we received a letter from hcd asking to us make these amendment sxz these were done last week. Thats why the pact is different. The changes and the length of the ordinance are the amendment that mr. Star introduced and read into the record. Let me be clear, some Legislature Passed some stuff but you have not been using our local requirement, you have been using the state requirements. So we have not violated the state law. Lcd wrote you a letter and im suppose to advocate my responsibility and sworn duties, i dont think so. Okay, so is that a motion to continue it . Or . Im happy to make that motion after Public Comment. Well we did take Public Comment. Knob heard the comment on this item. Yeah, we did. Ill move to continue this item and i promise to read the amendments and ask any questions between now and january 22. Clerk motion offered by member peskin. Aye. Peskin. Aye. Preston. Aye. Chair melgar. Aye. Madam chair, there are three ayes. Okay, lets go to then to the next item please. Clerk resolution to granting revokable permission to otis Property Owner llc, to occupy and maintain the 12th street plaza on 12th street at the corner of south vanness avenue fronting 9012th. Okay, we have madison from supervisor dorsey office. Madison aid to supervisor matt dorsey. Public open space on the portion of 12th street by allowing dpw to enter into an encroachment for the installation of public improvements. Earlier today, i circulated amendments and you have a hard copy on your desk as well. This will require a oneweek continuous due to work staff availability, i will be holding off on further comments until its next appearance at the board. And these amendment thats have you include some clean up language and accept sidewalk easement that was contemplated but needed further action. I ask that you amend your resolution and continue to your next meeting. Thank you. Okay, we will move to continue it. Lets take Public Comment on that, please mr. Clerk. Clerk thank you, madam chair, do we have anyone here that has Public Comment to item number 7 related to the encroachment . And it appears madam chair that we have no speakers. Okay, Public Comment is now closed. I will move that we continue this item, im sorry, oh sorry, the to incorporate the amendment. And we continue to when . The next meeting of land use committee. Okay, lets do that. Lets amend the legislation and. Clerk noting that supervisor preston is presently absent. I see a motion that this be amended and continued to the january 22, 2024 meeting as amended on that motion. Vice chair preston is absent. Member peskin. Aye. Chair melgar. Aye. There are two ayes with member preston ab gent. Absent. Okay, that motion passes. Okay, lets go to item number 8. Clerk agenda item number 8 is an ordinance a mending the planning code to eliminate the public art requirement for 100 Affordable Housing projects and provide for the relocation of removal of existing art work. This has been agendized as a Committee Report and may be sent to tomorrows Committee Meeting. Thank you, again, chairman. Madison tam aid to matt dorsey. First providing a process for the relocation or removal of public art in existing 100 housing and seconds waves for public art and new affordable projects. After stakeholder discussion supervisor dorsey has decided to duplicate this file and work on that its own policy matter. Changes the title to revising public art relocation and removal requirement for existing 100 Affordable Housing projects. So my remarks are to the former legislation. This is a frustrating long example having, bmr condo building at 1400 mission has onsite mural that prohibits art requirement. The beautiful mural, has been covered in graffiti for years since the term on the board of supervisors. Over the years the building has continued to receive notices of violation for visible graffiti. They learned that they could not solve their graffiti problem without creating a violation code. Our office has attended several hoa meeting and the owners are proud to be homeowners. And they just want this graffiti gone. They dont want their building to be a source of blight. Under the existing code, they could remove the graffiti. This is a below market rate h. O. A. That is in no position to raise its dues. As stated earlier, i have amendments for you today that in addition to stripping out the language it would eliminate the public art requirement and incorporate the recommended modification relative to the removal process so through the chair, can planning staff speak to those and then ill confirm our support for those. Thank you, ms. Tam. Thank you vefrntion audrey Planning Department staff. The Planning Department heard this item on november 16, 2023 and recommended approval with modifications. So ms. Tam alluded to some of those modification that will be in the file. Those are the first three of their recommended modification which are to create new and clarified existing hearing criteria for consideration for the removal of art. And number 2 to add clarifying language and alter ation, or alteration of the art work are less owner us process that are available to market projects. And third is to make technical amendment to see delete a reference in section 76. 1 which that reference does not exist anymore. So in addition to the amendments, the Commission Also recommended amendment thats we believe theyre great but potentially not for today in our larger policy discussion. So those amendment right side to also amend the administrative code to exempt 100 affordable projects. And lastly to encourage further conversation between city departments and stakeholders on finding alternative resources for the finding of installation and raint ens. Again the last two are not relevant to the duplicated file today but we look forward to future conversations on those. Thank you. Yes, i think thats is going to be a robust discussion. I believe the correct is to duplicate the file and amend the existing file as read into the record and you have received them and send that amended file to the full board as a Committee Report. Okay, and then the original file we continue to the color of the chair . Correct. Okay. We got that right . I think you did. Its to send the amended version and continue to duplicate the duplicate. And were sending it as a Committee Report to address the issue of this specific building that weve been getting correspondence about. Although that could be used in other circumstances by the caa. For anything that falls under the 100 affordable and meets the ca criteria that has been laid out. There should be on a art that is on a commercial report to you know, get out of their 1 percent requirement. This is a very tie layed and specific approach to address. The core of the issue is bmr ownership building, raising fees to provide 500,000 onsite art is not a priority for these low income homeowners. Okay, lets take Public Comment on this item please. Clerk for those who have Public Comment on agenda item number 8, please come forward. And if youre waiting for your chance to speak, please line up along the western wall of the room and if we have a speaker that is ready, ill start your time. Im here to talk two things. I want to recommend, to go back to committee, not to move forward and until some of the questions are answered. And this constitute public art and how does it comply with art. The second, i need you to understand that artist are businesses and they should be included in lbe policy and should be a certain percentage of the projects. Can we have the next speaker, please. Speaker good afternoon, im sheram im an owner at 15400 and also running for mayor of the San Francisco. As previously stated we are 100 bmr building compriseds of 190 units. Its filled with Diverse People from all walks of life, were also fulltime Government Employees throughout the city. So what happened the developer had the mural installed when the building was first built. The value of the art was 1 percent fortunate value of the building. But over the years, the mural has been vandalized. We do not have the funds to refurbish it, were not allowed to paint over it, because current laws do not allow us to paint over the mural. Management and the board of directors have been trying to work with the city for over three years to try to get this removed from outside of the building. Meanwhile we get abatement violations. We are, needing your help to pass this legislation. Its very important to us. We understand that art in San Francisco is important, but in our case we cannot afford to maintain given the fact that graffiti is on going issue. I also want to note that this is one of several issues that the resident of 1400 mission have endured. The city and developers are connected to illegal activity which do not provide us help for transitional housing for the homeless. We encouraged many thefts during the first year. We had a mentally person break into the building and destroy water pipes. Clerk your comments have concluded thank you for sharing your comments to the committee. Speaker thank you. Clerk lets hear from the next speaker, please. Speaker good afternoon, chair, members of the committee, charlie of the community organizations. We support the look back elements of this legislation that address instances where public art must be restored and replaced. We believe the second part of the legislation which based on the conversation wlb discussed at a future date. This makes an unnecessary trade off versus public art for low income residents. While the scope was limited, the stakes are even higher as we understand its being extendsed to amend. This impacting all publicly funded projects city wide. Integrating public art contributes to cultural preservation, Deeper Community engagement. Its part of the commission of many Member Organization to see enable residents to feel at home and proud in nr neighborhoods. Its one way that we brand Affordable Housing to be beautiful. We urge the city to retain the requirement and identify the source to fund public art and affordable projects. Who only want to do their left. If a dedicated Funding Source cannot immediately identified, we propose at the very least an assessment of fees be reduced to contain cost in a highly competitive environment while still inter vaiting. Looks forward to working together with supervisor dorsey and members of this committee as well as our Member Organizations and Cultural Arts organizations. Clerk your time has concluded. Thank you charlie for sharing your comments. Lets have the next speaker, please. Good afternoon, graffiti, im not a fan of graffiti. What is again, so the housing. Its free. It means free. This is not clear. Public art and of course, its great. But remember, we dont recognize anything in the future. I said that stated. Thank you, mr. Phil for sharing your comments. Anyone else who has Public Comment on item 8 . Madam chair. Okay, Public Comment on this item is closed. So mr.

Clerk amending the planning code to accept from limitations on conversion of certain production contribution and arts activities uses in the eastern neighborhoods area plan areas, excuse me that includes the mission, eastern and western and central soma areas. Changes of use from one of those or to Institutional Uses and affirming the secret findings and other findings throughout the ordinance. This has been agendized to tomorrows. Ms. Tam. Legislation before you makes modest adjustments to modern iet 2. 8 of the code which is created proposition x. Existing code requires a continual use Institutional Community and select Zoning Districts. To one of those uses and all Institutional Uses from the continual use. Current 2. 2 does not allow for flexible between the uses. Its even a barrier for keeping organizations in soma. I would like to clarify that this would not make it easier to display these protected uses which was the main intention. Rather this legislation will open up sites for these protected and very use sxz provide additional flexibility. A Nonprofit Organization is an immediate beneficiaries and driving factor in the district 6 to pursue this. Supervisor dorsey applaud the author that met the moment of 2016 but in 2023 our City District phases different challenges. The district 6 office has been in collaboration with the Community Partners in this legislation. This would cap New Buildings with smaller than 25,000 grand floor space. After hearing from planning staff on the commission recommendation, that we ask that you send it to the full board at the Committee Report. Okay, thank you ms. Tam. Audrey Planning Department staff. The Planning Department heard this program, they voted to approve what is version two of the ordinance in front of you today. We would like to thank supervisor dorsey of being supportive of that amendment, if you have any questions, im available. I do have questions, and that is i remember under prop x. So are the changes and ordinance affecting both . These are Zoning Districts that are part of. One that will not be included is so that district which is prevalent, is not there to everything would be the same. Lets take Public Comment on this comment.
