The board of supervisors held a motion to be carried for these to be heard as a committee as a whole and the ordinance submitted to the voters are an ordinance amending the authorization of production and art use to be held at an election on april 28, 2021. Supervisor. We are working as hard as we can to protect and prepare for the distribution uses in San Francisco. However weve decided to limit this ordinance to the ordinance in the Mission Neighborhood and also have worked very closely with supervisor david campos office ensuring that we could provide protection in these two neighborhoods and that we would continue to work on other legislation throughout the city but also work throughout these ideas that we got including a clmc as well as other options as well through a legislative process. Before i open up the Public Comment i would like to recognize supervisor wiener. So, at this time, we will open it up to Public Comment. If there any members of the public you would like to provide Public Comment at this time, please come forward. Good afternoon supervisors, i am john the planning displacement of r groups in this city because of the boom and the city has had five years to do something about this and that is why we are here and that is why we are going to the ballot and the one dewclaws that was added tothe mission last week is that the supervisor moved in that we can be amended to the future without limitation all of it any of it and i will take votes and all of you understand why but it should be a par moved by the progressives if we have the majority or some future mayor by our site or by the moderates because they have majority by the mayor it should be worked out together and we agree. That is why we put that clause into the measure. I certainly urge you to support the measure and report november. Thank you. Thank you. Speaker please. Good afternoon supervisors. I sent a letter earlier but i will just read for the record right now. Mary liza here. The threat of cell space cell space is a premier counterculture that is home to countless memories over the decades the our Community Rallied around saving cell spacealthough many of you argued leveling tower. That anyone has the right to purchase and rearrange the view. Is my view not sacred . If mine is not sacred, how is yours . On another big movement is growing around the idea that the fine arts is a public fine art space and must be accessible to the public. Many feel that spaces is at least as important as the opera house. It is much older and has a lot more tradition and history. I am here to tell you that what we have is a culture clash in San Francisco. You can say which edifice is more important. Each has its following own supporters. We just want to share with you with that cell space is ours and much of the problems that we are dealing with today could have been avoided by developers saying okay, you can keep cell space [timer dings] we will just develop around it. Think about that and ask yourself, is it worth it . Thank you. Thank you next speaker please. Hi, thank you i am sharon storier i would like to thank supervisor kim and campos and i would like to thank all of the other supervisors who are trying to figure out some way this is our first way of trying to change the tide of our massive cultural loss. It has been devastating and so far nothing has happened. Is this the first step, and so far only a first step . Yes. Do we need cultural and Community Spaces . Of course we do. Is this enough for the mission . No, its not enough for the mission but it will be helpful to slow things down in the mission and be helpful as a starting place for you guys to be able to amend it and be able to talk on perhaps tax incentives. Obviously, this is the city that most of us could move into and live in right now. Most of us cant come in and find cultural spaces to work. Mostt of the nonprofits who are leaving or have left couldnt afford to move in right now. So, i think it is really important for us to keep in mind that this is our city and it is incumbent upon our supervisors its community and its citizens and its corporations and it supervisors are developing and we rely on you to try to stop what is going on and reverse it and lets be the first city in the nation to figure out how we can invite the Cultural Resources that we left back into the city and the city that solves a problem and that from tellers can build here. [timer dings] next speaker please good afternoon supervisors. First of all eye would like to thank supervisors kim and campos for this initiative i think it is a very important piece for us in the mission. This is a very important piece in the Mission District for us to preserve and work on in the future to make it stronger. The city is known for its arts and culture. This space provides opportunities for young people and it generates revenue for us in the mission and the city and thats why people come to the Mission District. I just recently wasnt able to renew their lease and they been there for 40 years monthtomonth and i might not be able to renew it so they are in jeopardy. There is other space in the mission that are dealing with their landlord to establish themselves they are to run do their lease. There is a major space to the neighborhood. Currently the Unemployment Rate for latinos are 1. 8 and we are building carwashes and auto shops and bait shops and gas stations and we need to be a little bit more thoughtful about how we build and how it affects their communities. I think this can be strong and it is a great start so please support this item with our voters thank you. Thank you next speaker please. Yes, my name is flora davis and i lost my studio of 26 years last four73 artists lost their space and i am excited that the voters can vote on this in the fall and i was one of the lucky ones who found a studio in the mission you can see the pdr is very critical. The building i am in is actually was in where i would like to see hire renters get in there there used to be 40 artists in the mission and now theres only 20 artists left. There are remaining artist groups left in the city and i am really happy for this i spent the last few years working with supervisor kims office to see what we can do to save pdr. It is not a very sexy thing to talk about i didnt even know what it meant with these things. A lot of different artists dont want to talk about is im nervous being up here right now i just rather do my artwork. But im happy to see this is something that is in the works im happy as moving forward [timer dings] so thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker please hello supervisors my name is scott kuyper. I manage an art studio in thatthe cell neighborhood and i a would like to continue to see the same protections over the years a number of arts groups convened with the legislators to form a emergency arts displacement tax force some are artist studios and some are in intermission and among many more. Were all facing displacement this represented hundreds of working artists and hundreds of pdr space use for arts and theater. They have all lost their space since last year. All of these spaces have been lost in the last year alone. This is just the first step. We would deftly like to see this go a little further. We are hoping to look for a more comprehensive policy that will help mitigate the creative and colorful soul. In what looks like its being pushed back to september under j. P. Morgan there is already converted the Community Space formerly known as cell and it is sitting vacant and nick has pulled it off [timer dings] and he is pulled it off and its toward our community a part. Help us to create a productive and creative environment to keep San Franciscowhat we know and have loved it to be. Thank you. Next speaker please. If theres any other members of the public that would like to speak please line up to my left. Good afternoon supervisors my name is i am asking you guys to support this ballot measure. I am here to speak on the space loss for these pdrs we have seen a lot of vietnamese children that would not be the developers find would not be the developers find in those places to be [indecipherable] i think this is a decision that the voters are going to take in this space and in the mission and i really appreciate your support this valid measure and this will all be best to let the Voters Decide what is best for city thank you. Thank you. Next speaker please. Good evening i am not so sure that this is supposed to be on this line but i am talking about [indecipherable] this is about the assessment and building code. Actually we have already done this one and you can talk to mr. Davidson he is right outside. We are doing a committee of the whole for a completely different item. If you can hold on for just a minute because this is for Something Else we will get somebody to address your concerns. Thank you. Next speaker please. I am a market activist in 2009 on the lancaster gallery on Market Street and at the time it seemed to be a neighborhood that needed a lot of help. It was amazing how fast it changed and how fast it went from being a and interesting neighborhood two very interesting in the Real Estate Industry and now are looking at a situation that occurred half a decade ago and what is deeply frustrating to us is how little the policy has changed from being one that supports development to being one where we need protection and has been very frustrating. Okay, are there any other members of the public you would like to speak on this particular issue . Seeing none, Public Comment is now close. This hearing has been held and is now filed. [gavel] supervisor wiener. I would be happy to defer to supervisor kim and make comments when she is done if thats all right. Supervisor kim okay supervisor wiener. Thank you mme. Supervisor. I am happy to have this pdr space in San Francisco and i have dealt with the zoning issues on more occasions and i count this board is highly capable of developing these measures and they can be stricter and looser depending on the situation. I dont know if its completely accurate but even if it is supervisor kim really knows how to do legislation he has brought this measure here today and set of sending it to the mayor extend to the voters so i just dont understand why we wouldnt just take this up at the board. This measure is extremely strict and i think it will have a lot of impacts that people arent necessarily anticipating in fact, as i mentioned last week whenever in the middle the night when this came up that kate sophis the head of sf made a our Manufacturing Industry organization in San Francisco and it needs to be collaboratively doneand not been done in a way that this has been moved forward. And i have told ms sophis that this will have unintended consequences i dont support this legislation i dont supported i dont think it should be sent to the voters they should be handed to the board of supervisors in a prerogative way the pdr votes that i participate in i dont recall each and every one of them but i seem to recall that if not all of them almost all of them are unanimous that typically need to be done in a can when it comes to zoning we should be doing that in a collaborative way at the board of supervisors hopefully with not just eight votes but 11 votes and to do it this way which should be a 6 to 9 vote to send this to the voters this just doesnt make sense to me so i will vote against this legislation today. Thank you supervisor wiener. Supervisor campos. Thank you mme. Pres. I am asking you to support this with the voters because i do think there is a level of protection with the issue when voters are the ones who decide to enact a measure and i think that that is the benefit of this and i also think that it is appropriate given that we are targeting specific issues relative to the south of market and the mission to other parts of the city and i think that it is the right approach and i think that is respectful of the fact that other members of the board have different ideas that address some concerns that relate to their district. And so i think that is an appropriate way to approaching this and an appropriate way to have it on the ballot and i thank supervisor kim and her staff for the work that she has put in this and as well as supervisor hagan in my office to have worked on this thank you. Thank you supervisor campos. Supervisor peskin. Thank you mme. Supervisor. I would like to respectfully address some of the comments of supervisor wiener in and around the process and the process was that supervisor kim has proposed to put this measure before the body where this legislation is but before the voters. The 1996 charter allowed for members of the ford to circumvent this body and circumvent public discussion a legitimate tool and it should go directly to the voters the respectfully, i submit a legitimate ntool and it should go directly to the voters the respectfully, i submit the following. If supervisor wiener would submit the words to other measures on this ballot that were not the subject of deliberations in front of this ballot that would place before the voters before members of the body which is absolutely legitimate, we would have an absolutely different conversation. So, let us be consistent and let us say the following thing which is, live by the ballot and die by the ballot. Which is, a majority of the members in this ballot voted for the mission moratorium. The voters ultimately chose to reject that. But, when you go to the ballot it is often times the right thing to go back to the ballot and while that may be different relative to prop f and prop i i say that actually the right thing is to actually go back to the voters and lets discuss this again by and through the ballot. I want to say these things to the record and i want to say that respectfully to supervisor wiener but, it is very difficult to say that you should not have this conversation before this body and before the voters went for members of this body but other measures before this body. Thank you supervisor peskin. Supervisor kim. Thank you mme. Supervisor i would just like to say that i would like to finalize this before the board today. Last week proposition highlighted the growing concern of the alarming loss of manufacturing repair as well as the strength and enforcement of the current controls put in place to protect and encourage these types of use and consequently the jobs that come with it. Over a year and a half ago our Office Reached out to over 100 different artists that were at fear of being evicted this was termed over 40 different artists that were evicted and through this process we brainstormed and brought together different ideas of how we can protect and encourage art uses three range of controls. I do want to remind the artists [inaudible] although are initially are were legislation had started out as an ordinance to protect and encourage artists to stay here in San Francisco i mentioned that one of our outcomes of our meetingswas that the Arts Commission whose staff participated in the our commission did a poll of 600 artists here in San Francisco or that used to be in San Francisco at the overwhelming majority close to 70 are either being evicted or being threatened to be evicted close to 70 were afraid of being evicted in the future we felt it was a prudent to move forward with these land use controls we move forward with the strongest measure and thats why we decided to move forward and to the voters. However, out of respect for the legislative process we did insert an amendment to allow amendments either to weaken or to strengthen as long as there were a super majority as long as the supervisors would support these changes there were some very good feedback that we got along the wayto where we treat these structures are very similar to how we treat Affordable Housing. We currently allow for the ball housing to be built on site which is which is legislation encourages or built off site or finally, do an offsite inlet see this is how it is done in boston and new york city and perhaps one of the best ways for the city to protect pdr is to purchase a pdr and if we have the offset in lieu fees will explain this and we may move forward with amendments such as that. Colleagues, i do ask for your support. I know that supervisor campos is not happy with the process but if the supervisors can pull their weight with this process this is
