And as to the remaining file that is before us, upon one 91 substantive amendment at page 14, which is online 19. And this is the table for pdr zones that we amended the original legislation in pdr1b has always held that be subject to conditional use. But in pdr1d and g and pdr2, we changed those at a previous hearing from p to c. And to today i would like to add a footnote to those 3pdr districts. Footnote 24 i circulated to the members of the committee indicating those would be permitted as of right where existing use is a private parking lot or vehicle storage lot defined in the code, which i believe applies to 12 existing facilities.

Good afternoon supervisors. Tom, from liveable city. We support electricification of the Transportation System and thank you for bringing forward ideas will support this. The science is behind this that depentedance on electric vehicles have disvajs as automobiles. They are energy intensive. Takeum an amount of space. A danger to pedestrians in order to get to Sustainable Transportation in the future. We need to focus on electrifying the vehicle fleet and also on car free living. 3 years ago we worked with supervisor mandelman looking at the service station gas station question. We want ev charging but could we think of the gas stations as supporting car free living in and so in that legislation we said, all right. Now, under code, if you stop dispensing morvehicle fuels and service stipulation has to go. It is right to strike that out. But in the currently legislation you become ev charge or stay a service station. We took a more fleckable frooch. No longer dispense motor fuel vehicles but you can allow ev charging, allow bike and car share. They are sustainable hubs people go, pick up a vehicle. Still allow the repair and service of vehicles. You will have repair we dont believe the current ordinance allows that. We recommend you add back that flexible to section 187 use the parking legislation as a guide and add it to 102 definitions so they can become sustainable mobility hubs and support. Are there other members that would like to speak on item one in the chamber . Moving to the remote call in line. We have 8 listens with 3 in the queue. James, take the first caller, please. Good upon afternoon, supervisor mark here. On behalf of officers ever teamster 665. We are supportive of expansion of ev charging throughout our city. Expansion will benefit both workers and residents who are migrating to electric vehicles. We support the amendments most specific low one concerning fleet charging which we believe should be dealt with separately. Commercial, expansion of floats going forward. This fleet charging its separate from all the other merits of electric vehicle charge nothing san front we are supporting. Fleet charging will have a Significant Impact on both work and residents. And we want that were hoping that everyone can see to it that we can review that impact on our city and neighborhoods and workers. Under separate legislation. We support this. We work the amendments as they are presented and we thank you for your time. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. Im chris cane im the Government Affairs lead with electricifiy america the Largest Network of fast charging stations in the United States. We support this ordinance in many ways conversion of autoinfrastructure and charging infrastructure and stroll line permitting process. However, we have concerns about the applicablity ofbive 726 and ab1236 requires cities to stroll line permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations. Ab1236 includes requirements jurisdiction must approve ev charging application by a Building Permit or nondiscretionary permit. The extent this ordinance revised zoning control tables to require conditional use authorization which it proposes. Not in compliance with 1236. Jurisdiction considering adopting cu permitting creating charging station when the use permit may be requested after the Building Official identified a specific adverse impact to health or safety as defined; is a concerning president. We agree the bureaucratic delays avoided and updating the planning code [inaudible] is a positive development. We wish to ensure a safe statute is submitted. We ask this committee amend in a way compliant with ab1236 and that would be by or moving conditional use authorization requirement. Policy that approves exiting process for autouses to ev charging stations remaining compliant with ab1236 is still public and positive for San Francisco. Thank you. Lets take the next caller if you would like to peek on item one, press star 3 to do so. Good afternoon supervisor and thank you for considering this legislation. Im joanaityis i represent ev go we commented last week. I want to reiterate the upon comments we made last week around the conditional use authorization process. Specifically by creating an overly challenging cu process the companies that are likely to be able to have the resources, money and time to comply are going to be the Largest Companies that have floats. What you are going to what that will result in smaller fleets will see this as one additional head wind. Will not have resources to perform all of the requirements of the complicated cu process and you will be penal iegz mall fleets and making them unable to electricifiy. We are hoping that the cu be recently. Our preference is we not have a cu process but we would recommend we the cu process follows the time lines and guidance.
