Supervisor wiener. Thank you very much madam president this is an exciting day this has been in the works for years to take a step to extend our transit impact fee that will be known as is sustainability fee to Residential Construction the sustainability fee was adopted 35 years ago and for all those decades applied to commercial development but not to residential and so Residential Development in San Francisco moornlt how large does not autumn pay the Transit Development fees a hole in the fees of this growth if inform San Francisco it is critically important our transportation infrastructure keep up with our housing approximate and transit impact fees are one way to do that colleagues youll recall 3 years ago when the renewal of the impact fees we had discussions about that fee and moving forward we have now the opportunities to take this huge step and to extend the fee to Residential Development it will generate hundreds of Million Dollars of duo dollars for the transportation improvement over the next 15 years in combination with the prop b from the ballot that ties transit that funding to population growth and the prop a the transportation bond as well as upcoming opportunities with the vehicle license fee were gaining monument in San Francisco to funds the modern and reliable Transit System we all need over Transit Systems are over capacity and necessarily we need to extend that for that bart and all the systems of course, we in committee had a lot of discussion about what the appropriate level of the fee was we in committee did increase the fee by one dollar per square feet for residential and commercial for large projects we also removed the plan areas exemption and then we also limited the grandfathering provision to end as of july 21st the date of introduction of this legislation so this has been a thoroughly thor vetted piece of legislation 0 takes a huge step forward to get the knocks to the residential we did a lot of work in committee to extend it further i know there is discussion about other aspects of the legislation with one can take the position the fee should be higher than selfis no matter would level someone will step forward and say it is should be higher but right now this legislation takes a big step forward and appropriately balances the need for our transit fund and for transit impact fees with making sure that we are actually having housing built in San Francisco so colleagues, i ask for your support and we want to thank everyone in making this legislation a reality. Commissioner avalos. Thank you madam president colleagues im someone so i will be proposing making some amendments i believe that the Planning Department and the mta did really great work on crafting our transit Standpoint Program and the fee is something we spell need as as city all of the colleagues have been voting 11 zero to put anymore funds into Transportation Needs in San Francisco we are dedicated to doing that i have been glad we all that had consensus we need to fight for all dollars for transportation in San Francisco weve talked about also trying to find every dollar whether we can find for the infrastructure in the city we actually have a lot of money left on the table with the transit sustainability fee i sat in at the Land Use Commission i felt that was important we bring this effort into the light of day into the legislative arena the discussion that had been done before coming to committee was in the Mayors Office setting what what the fee will be developers or creating a deal one of the on that was going on and we look at what the fee is compared to what the nexus study will measure the impacts and what were chair mar for the fee will be pay for the residential impacts and nonresidential we are also not taking into consideration that projects had that have been in the pipeline before july 1st of last year 2014 anticipating that that fee would be established yet giving them a pass for the for the most part and not doing it but collecting has much as we can. Many of the developers that are impacted saw it coming and so ill be proposing we actually have grandfathering with a fee only residential and nonresidential ive been concerned i actually went to the Planning Commission with when the Planning Commission was reviewing the tsf to look at how different fees levels for different parties part of San Francisco we see development happening at the gangbusters levels other plays in San Francisco not seeing that happen particularly in district 11 we looking at a onesizefitsall fee for the entire city does that create a disincentive for development in places where land values are not quite as high as in the Downtown Core the city ill be proposing that we look at having a geographic study about to set the structure for the fee based on geography in california id like to propose a number of those amendments if you may indulge me colleagues, i have a handout youll receive the first is the motion to increase the nonresidential fee for gross square feet of 8 hundred to 99 thousands to 18 and 0. 54 a number of months ago that will be together well want to take them spacial and commissioner avalos have you handed out those amendment. I have it explains what the amendments and the City Attorney has crafted legislation that has actual language prepared for not necessarily for your desk but at the end of the day it will be made in accepted. Well take each of your amendments one by one. I havent had a chance and it is a lengthy list youll go over them one by one. In fact, my office has been sharing this information with legislative aide to in city hall so surprised it is new information. Well, the specifics of the information im aware of i was aware you were going to propose amendments. Okay. So my first motion to raise the nonresidential tsf for gross square feet of 8 hundred thousand 8 hundred to 99 thousand nine hundred and 99 square feet to raise the fee 0. 50 to 8. 54 also on nonresidential to over nine hundred and 94 thousand 99 gross square feet to raise it 4 to 23. 04 thats below the nucleus 23 percent nexus so well be addressing the impacts on transportation but it will be only a small portion that is my first. You want to take both of these together. Yes. Okay. So commissioner avalos has made a motion seconded by supervisor campos and madam clerk is there any discussion regarding the amendment. Seeing no supervisor campos. Thank you. I do want to Say Something not only about that specific amendment but actually think that applies to the variance amendments we know that will be presented and i think to members of the public that are watching this i think that if theres every an example of power that those corporate and players have in this building in many respect about to happen is an ill nexus study is the length of development and transportation and it shows that when you build like this city has been building theres a cost associated with that and that cost has prelims in the Transit System it is interesting people talk about how much they support Public Transit and promote Public Transportation when it comes to forcing powerful commentary interests and money interests to pay for this that is where somehow the commitment goes away or you know weathers down a little bit because what commissioner avalos is talking about here is actually
