What we need in a police is a Championship Team. Who could look at what we saw on television and root for that . You would have to be a bigot. We need to melt this blue coat. The police need to be part of the trust, the truth, the justice of our community and now we are asking them to be Mental Health guardians also. On the radio today the chief of police was saying in scotland only 5 where guns. Maybe in our twoman teams one is gun free. Maybe in the back of the truck we can throw a fishing net.

Actually help out housing. There are people who dont neatly fit into husband after shows. Everything is the g a system is not the only way to get into housing either or should not be.

Im sorry you party had an opportunity to speak so unfortunately, i will not be able to recognize you. Apologize. We will try to get someone to help you after the meeting. Is there any other members of the public would like to give Public Comment at this time . Seeing none, [closed session] Public Comment is closed madam clerk, can we go to the adoption without reference to Committee Items . Items 2934 are being considered for adoption without committee reference. A single vote on these items a member may object to sever an item havent considered separately supervisor mar sever item 31 supervisor kim on 34 . On the remaining items, madam clerk please call the roll items 29, 30, and 33, supervisor mar aye, peskin aye, tang aye, wiener aye, yee aye avalos aye breed aye, campos aye cohen aye, farrell, aye, kim aye. There are 11 aye those items are adopted and approved unanimously [gavel] and where please call item 31 item 31 at resolution to urge California State Legislature and governor to pass legislation authorizing the use of Automated Speed Enforcement Technology in the city. Thank you. Supervisor mar Nicole Ferrero mentioned a little bit about this but i want to thank katie at knotty sitting in the back from the for champion any different efforts at the state level along with my cosponsor supervisor yee i strongly urge the support of this resolution. The state legislature and governor need to hear our voice and San Francisco and then to hear san jose many other jurisdictions as well. To pass legislation in San Francisco that would change us as tom acquired from our global Streets Division from a culture of speeding to a culture of safety. Howard is a Automated Speed Enforcement Technology or shortterm speed cameras, as we know about red light cameras will do, will help us reduce our collisions and deaths and reach our vision zero goals. As Nicole Ferrero from walk sf engine, we have a strong and growing Vision Zero Coalition in our city whereby not only walk sf by Many Organizations on the ground with victims and families in the lead as well. That was one thing that is amazing than a call and walk sf has built. A base of victims and families in the lead requesting, demanding, change at the state level and also building strong coalitions at the local level as well. San francisco officials have a strong commitment to vision zero but its because of a grassroots effort led by our Vision Zero Coalition. I also want is a nickel mentioned 140 other cities and jurisdictions including dc, but theres a lot to build off of in our state and city. Last december, sitting as the Transportation Authority we passed a resolution already unanimously. What is it is a federate 19th deadline for state bills that i think is a critical time to send a strong message from San Francisco. I also want to know to the budget and website banner. As for doing reports for the 11 supervisors and others but fred russo and other to the great report on the culture of speeding in San Francisco with good models that they look at. I think the report from last year showed that speeding is number one cause of fatal and severe injuries in San Francisco in its 10 timesit kills 10 times more people than drunk driving does. So, its really an issue we can impact, and as we combat this culture of speeding i think i moved as tom acquired to a culture of safety, i think it is also about a culture of health and the global neighborhoods as well. Having speed cameras encourage drivers to slow down like red light cameras have as well. They will help us ensure safer streets for seniors, people with disabilities, children, bicyclists and all of us. Thank you so much to the mta in Transportation Authority and abroad Vision Zero Coalition. I urge your support. Thank you. Supervisor kim gornick supervisor mar for bring this for. I like to add my name as a cosponsor. I want to reiterate what is artie been said. We know that slowing down speed is the number one way to achieve vision zero in San Francisco but in any city did in fact, when we got here from the chief strategist in sweden on how they were able to implement vision zero, he said without any doubt in his mind automated Speed Enforcement cameras was the number one way to get to vision zero. In fact, im struck by the statistic that is often referred to, which is if the pedestrian is hit by a vehicle traveling at 40 mi. h if 10 pedestrians are hit, one out of 10 pedestrian survives. At 30 mi. h 5 10 pedestrians survive. But if youre driving at 20 most out, just a 20 mile or our production, youre still moving along in your car which are not to get to your destination as quickly as youd like to, 9 10 pedestrians survive. I think that statistic is stunning and stock. Slowing down is certainly, i think the best way that an effective way we can hit vision to get on by this resolution is before us and am happy to support its thank you. Supervisor wiener i dont repeat the important points artie been made good i also support this resolution and think supervisor mar and yee for bringing it forward. I think we need to try new innovative approaches to having slower speed on our street and better enforcement in a lot of different forms a part of that. I note this is a very very issue the state legislature for a wide variety of reasons and stock on it easily move for but i think it makes a lot of sense for local jurisdictions that are doing strong work around making our streets safer just to go on record and try to build the grassroots for change can we take that without objection . Without objection thank you. Thank you. See no other names colleagues can we take item 31 same house, same call can we take that without objection . Without objection resolution was adopted unanimously [gavel] and clerk call item 34 item 34 motion to schedule the board of supervisors to sit as a committee as a whole unsavory 23rd 2016 at 3 pm. To hold a public hearing authorizing the board of supervisors to update inclusionary or Affordable Housing obligation for Housing Development projects setting forth increased interim requirements to be proposed to the voters at the june 7, 2016 election. Thank you. Supervisor kim i do have to make a motion to amend. I believe weve distributed or artistry getting copies of a amend mix of all. This is due invoke rule 3. 372 call the charter of minutes out of committee to the committee as a whole. Supervisor kim could you repeat that . By making a motion to amend this motion. It is a amendment of a whole which are currently just riveting right now. It is basically to invoke or or rule 3. 372 call the Charter Amendment out of committee to the committee of the whole. This is based on advice from our City Attorney. The amendment was made and was secondedi just want to understand where it is in the context of the resolution. Players sitting in my conversation with the City Attorney is that this helps to clarify under which port will we are invoking to call the Charter Amendment out of committee to the committee of the whole so it is in many ways clarifying the motion. This motion to amend, though, does forces motion to set another week so if we do, if i do have the votes for the and networks of all this motion will sit for another week and will vote on a motion next week. Okay. So, to our deputy City Attorney, i guess what im not seeing is the difference in where you put it in the resolution compared to where it is currently. So i think im just a little confused. I dont feel comfortable necessarily voting to support the amend looks exactly near its placement within your resolution ice deputy City Attorney can respond that is clearer than the y i had explained it. Deputy City Attorney john given her. The motion that supervisor kim initially introduced wouldve scheduled the committee as a whole for fabric 23rd two Charter Amendments and waved the board will usually requires Charter Amendment to be sent to committee. Because that motion on its face waved a board rule requires a vote for passage. The amendment invokes a different board rule which allows six members of the board to pull in item out of committee by majority vote supervisor kim is amended or proposing to amend the motion so that if it passes, the Charter Amendment be pulled out of committee and hurt by the full board by the committee on the whole unsavory 20. So, are you saying that if we approve this without the amendment that we would not be able to sit as a committee as a whole to. . Either the original version or the version that supervisor kims proposed amendment, the motion passes, as is if the motion passes as is with supervisor kims amendment the Charter Amendment would be pulled out of committee and come to the full board for committee as a whole on february 23. The duper difference in supervisor kims amendment the board was using bulk import is item out of committee. The motion as is the original motion requires eight votes per passage. With the amendment if the amendment passes, it will require six votes for passage. Okay. I think i understand. Before we vote on the amendment supervisor tang on the amendment i was going to reiterate what our City Attorney has said. I think as someone who sits on was committee i wouldve preferred to have heard this item in rules committee. So i understand we have a amendment before us today but that would be my preference. Thank you. Supervisor cohen okay. Supervisor peskin. Okay. Any other members on the roster . Okay. So im sorry i got to go back to a clarifying point here because i think what im missing here through our deputy City Attorney, when we usually make changes to anything, it is clear with the changes made in the resolution. So, i dont see the difference between the direct amendment within the existing legislation and i just need that physically pointed out to me so that i understand exactly what the amendment is and what im voting on with the amendment. So sue to our city the City Attorney this is not a private this guy was passed out to me has not been amended. Its exactly how it was before. No. When the board makes amendment the website or process to motion, resolution that changes are not shown in a special font. Unlike when you amend a ordinance, which is sometimes thats why need to be pointed out specifically to me in terms of what were adding. Thank you supervisor peskin. For the benefit of everyone, i can say that the document that supervisor kim has passed out the bottom paragraph, the further moved that the board shall convene as a committee as all on february 23, thats the same as within the original. The first paragraph same moved under rule 3. 37 but the board is going this item out of committee, that is new in supervisor kims thank you. Thats exactly what i was looking for. Okay. I have to run a meeting so i dont always have time to look at all of these changes and i want to make sure i understand what im voting on before i do so. So, the item in supervisor peskin, supervisor kim. You have a common . Can answer the question but its been answered thank you. With that, the amendment has been moved and seconded by barclays global supervisor mar aye, peskin aye, tang cate wiener nay nay avalos aye breed aye nay campos aye cohen nay farrell nay kim aye there are five aye and six nay with supervisor tang wieneri have supervisors tang wiener see breed Cohen Farrell in that assigned. I apologize. I thought i heard no. The matter present the vote is sick aye and six speed nnay so the amendment passes [gavel] this item will be on our agenda on at the next Board Meeting. Supervisors became 81 by making a motion to continue the item. I make a motion to continue this item one week theres been a motion has been moved to continue one week. Its been seconded by supervisor peskin. Just for clarity to our deputy City Attorney, just for clarity for this particular item, we cant vote on this item today as amended. That is record the board rule that the motion to invoke requires the clerk to pull the item out to be heard at the next Board Meeting and if you pass it today you have to come up with every night Board Meeting but the municipal elections code prohibits you from considering the charter man looks on february 9. So you have to let me also ask another question. So it is necessary for it to be continued through the process of making a motion to continue it . Thats right. You cannot pass this item today. I understand that but we have to continue it . You could table it. You could amend the effort that you could take any number of other options. You can pass it today okay and we cant vote it down today . Theres a motion moved in second excuse me if not then recognize supervisor peskin. Soon cant pass it today we cannot vote it down today because i would defer to the clerk that can effectively vote the item down today. But i believe you could, the board could adopt the motion to table the item. If you wanted to get you cant just pass the item because of the time thank you. So theres been supervisor wiener is there a motion on the table . Is a motion on the table to continue this item one week by supervisor kim has been second buys a second by supervisor peskin what a motion to table take precedence over motion to continue . Yes i moved to table this item. I want to just explain. The site should be heard in committee. There is absently no reason to pull this to the full board for committee of the whole. I think we all have a responsibility as legislators, especially at times when legislation has to be rushed for various reasons. When you talk about something that significant as this, when were all wanting to increase inclusionary percentage and the mayor and president breed are in the working group to do it, theres no reason why we have to brush something through that cant even be amended anymore no matter what happens at the hearing from what i understand because this is introduced so late. So, this should be heard in committee they should be vetted in committee. We should be working together and making sure this Charter Amendment is a good as it can be and to try to muscle this through the board in this way, i just dont think is the right way to proceed. So, i moved to table supervisor wiener moved to table. Second by supervisor cohen. Supervisor peskin i rise to the spectrally suggest to this body and the members of the rules committee that the issue of this import actually should be heard by this entire body. I believe we all the skills and the ability to deal with it yes, we have a Committee System we also have a system that provides for committees of the whole. The time frames are tight. I believe that if you know about the policy of this matter were dealing with procedural issues today but if you know about the policy that set forth in this Championship Team<\/a>. Who could look at what we saw on television and root for that . You would have to be a bigot. We need to melt this blue coat. The police need to be part of the trust, the truth, the justice of our community and now we are asking them to be Mental Health<\/a> guardians also. On the radio today the chief of police was saying in scotland only 5 where guns. Maybe in our twoman teams one is gun free. Maybe in the back of the truck we can throw a fishing net.

We should be working together and making sure this Charter Amendment<\/a> is a good as it can be and to try to muscle this through the board in this way, i just dont think is the right way to proceed. So, i moved to table supervisor wiener moved to table. Second by supervisor cohen. Supervisor peskin i rise to the spectrally suggest to this body and the members of the rules committee that the issue of this import actually should be heard by this entire body. I believe we all the skills and the ability to deal with it yes, we have a Committee System<\/a> we also have a system that provides for committees of the whole. The time frames are tight. I believe that if you know about the policy of this matter were dealing with procedural issues today but if you know about the policy that set forth in this Charter Amendment<\/a>, ultimately, it will be up to this body to adopt and ordinance once the Charter Amendment<\/a> gets on the ballot. That is really where we need to be coming together rather than having these procedural arguments, which to me are arguments about who wants to raise the percentage of Affordable Housing<\/a> to what rates, which i can quite frankly say as the newest comer to this board have been unfortunately much lower than they should have been doing one of the largest building booms before the housing crisis this city has seen since the gold rush. That may sound like hyperbole, but its actually true. So, lets not get involved in the politics of the late. Lets bring this to this board on february 9. Lets have a committee of the whole on february 23. But a send this to the ballot. But the Voters Decide<\/a> on june 7. Thank you. Supervisor campos i know we want to get out of here good book, bottom line, this is important. What matters of said importance come up decided to certain matters heard by the entirety of the board, not just one committee and this happens to be one of those could commission moratorium was another example of that. But this also beyond. Numbers of the public or watching these proceedings, we have a Committee Structure<\/a> that right now has the Key Committee<\/a> has been told by more conservative members of the board that will make it difficult for certain things to come out of committee, and so the new majority of the board of supervisors will have to resort to bringing items to the entire board so that certain things can be voted on. Thats whats happening here. Its something that everyone has done in the past and it just the reality of where we are. We are simply trying to move an agenda for any side is to do what they can to keep that from happening or to make that happen. Thats just the way things go. Thank you. Supervisor wiener i always find it interesting in San Francisco<\/a> political debate when people who would be considered lefty and much in the universe are referred to as somehow conservative in San Francisco<\/a>. I think its ridiculous but its actually in some ways is one the reasons i love the city because we are all so progressive and left robbies tiny gradients. But i do think were mere rhetoric at the board of supervisors is an interesting conversation. But i will say is if this goes to committee through the regular course it can still go onto the ballot in june if that is the right thing to do. Right now, on february 11, as i understand, rules committee there will already be heard the two about ordinance placed on about. One by supervisor kim and peskin and a few others and one by the mayor. In fact somebody ordinance that supervisor kim and peskin have placed on the ballot relate directly to this Charter Amendment<\/a>s. Because the Charter Amendment<\/a> sets a baseline allows the board to make adjustments to it in the future where is the ordinance as i understand it constrains the boards ability to do that. So, to have one of those heard in a committee and then have the other one heard at the full board, i just dont think that is the best way to proceed again for this nothing about february 11 at the rules committee this from going onto the ballot in june. So, i think we all agree that we need to increase the inclusionary percentage, but we also i think need to have good process in making these important ns.

Welcome back to the San Francisco<\/a> Transportation Authority<\/a> supervisor cowen will be returning shortly im reconvening this meeting to moved on item 2 i believe madam clerk okay. I think we were just getting ready to move to staff presentation if my memory serves i say Planning Department<\/a> yes is going to do present in a new location. Good afternoon, members of land use im Kim Department<\/a> staff first, i wanted to thank supervisor avalos and supervisor kim so far taking on this important piece of legislation the Planning Commission<\/a> has harder this item and has approved the legislation with some minor amendments that have been taken in the substantive legislation that was introduced two weeks ago the impetus behind this legislation is preserving over existing Housing Stock<\/a> and discouraging the displacements of tenants and this goes emphasis in the Housing Element<\/a> of the general plan the existing Housing Stock<\/a> has a strong roll in Housing Demand<\/a> and comparing to the newly built housing and also on your data shows the 5 percent turnover and 10 percent turnover for rental are higher than the percentage of Housing Units<\/a> to one percent the removal of Housing Units<\/a> is one of the major causes of tenant eviction the past 10 years of 45 hundred no fault evictions about 11 percent were removal of units this legislation would propose a cu for removal of all residential unit and illegal units this is the user authorized units in the legislation currently different types of requirements for removal residentials or residential units the Zoning District<\/a> and unit numbers of building this legislation will make that consistent and create a cu requirement across the board for all types of residential units we currently have an administrator contest for roving the residentials through one is through administrative pricing out of the units so from the unit is more expensive of a threshold determined annually and right now is 1. 6 or 7 million in this the unit is more comprehensive they can go through an administrative process and not a cu or dr to remove the unit another approval, of course, which through Technical Report<\/a> a demonstration that the building is not sound like this legislation proposes to remove those medic active units approval and create a cu for all types and this is recommend by the department and the commission it creates a consistent and more clear rule for removal of units we have a few number of units that use this 55 units have been using used this administrative process out of the nine hundred which is 6 percent of those and the staff and Commission Recommended<\/a> the approval process is lengthy and technical and sometimes called outs u outside of the parentheses we strongly supporting this change as well and one major change that legislation is doing creating a new did definition of thinking authorized units the planning code we working closely with the Supervisors Office<\/a> since this was introduced to define an unauthorized units are we know that there are different varieties of unauthorized unit some have kitchens and some dont we keep is broad to capture a wide variability of instances it creates the definition of the unauthorized units and adds 3 major finding the planning code to help the Planning Commission<\/a> decide what to approve the units those criteria are first, whether or not they can their eligible for legalization and second whether or not legalization process cost is reasonable and we define that from the database that your collecting since the lightwelltion program for the legalization of each unit and third whether or not it is financial feasible to legalize and the way we determine that is from the cost of legalization kwlgz or is higher than the value added to the property we see that as feasible and that value added has to be determined by a codified appraiser we think that the legislation would help support these unbeknownst authorized unit and especially the tenants that live there but still leaves flexibility for the Property Owners<\/a> to merge or remove an unauthorized unit and those cases can be if that hadnt been uses as residential unit so we will the commission will have that flexibility to allow that for the removal and second another example is if a family wants to grow and merge the units it is another criteria so a flexible built into the code to allow for the commission to allow removal in certain pieces weve also had in this item at the dbi commission and weve heard their concerns and we made the supervisors made changes to the ordinance to address some of the concerns one in that theres certain exemptions weve provided no legal path for legalization they dont have to go through the legalized process for removal and second if there is imminent threat for safety of that unit and the city determines the unit needs to be removed that unit didnt have to go through the cu process and lastly we added languages for residential unit that have gone through a process like the dr or conditional use or administrative approval and secured that permit from the Planning Department<\/a> but not yet have Building Permit<\/a> approval so at the dont have to go through the process. The Planning Commission<\/a> strongly supports that legislation and buildings this will take a step towards helping the stock and displacement of tenant thank you. Thank you very much at the thank you for all your work and dependent on this as well next up is bill strong from dbi not seeing mr. Strong farmed Deborah Walker<\/a> from the department of building inspection. Thank you supervisor as many of you know weve been dealing with the issue of illegal units and how to encourage legalizing them for a while i think one of the things we did a bit ago to help supervisor wiener with to make sure that tenants in buildings even those unpermitted were given the same courtesy as being notice with an action as far as the permit to either do work or demolition unpermitted unit so the tenants knows in a timely way to engage our department and other programs we have now so i actually think this step of that applying a stronger a more stringent detergent review of a request to demolition those units is really an important step right now it is a is it correct step we need weve spent a lot of time with supervisor chiu and supervisor wiener around a path forward to legalizing units weve done a lot with the Planning Department<\/a> and to encourage folks to legalize those units so we dont create evictions and displacement how have it has not been successful i think that one of the things we need to do at this point is to have a evaluations around demolition requests go through a stringent process one of the things eave brought forward at the commission i think we have a willingness to have our Department Help<\/a> with the code compliant aspect of legalizing those units in the form of a financial loan or Grant Program<\/a> to help building owners and encourage building owners to do this work many of the people that own those have owned them for a long time some of the people get put in hard progresses so we need to look at that proactively to provide and carrot and hopefully be able to encourage people in those buildings to legalize those buildings and could use funds if there is temporary displacement there is a difference continue the bigger buildings and the singlefamily homes i think that it might be time we actually look at those as a separate issue to see if there is different concerns and a different process we dont want to a cu process is cumbersome i think that generally cost more to do an evaluation and make sure were not adding to the cost of housing or to the timeframe of legalizing the unit so i think that overall this is a good next step in this process of trying to encourage the legalizing of those tens of thousands of units that always remain at risk and not permitted. Great thank you, commissioner. Thank you. I have a speaker ted egan from the Controllers Office<\/a> i dont see mr. Eagle on was a brief irrelevant with a brief confusion we have an email saying that was positive Environmental Review<\/a> and todays report was initialed seeing saying it was neutral so im not sure if anyone from planning has seen that none mentioned it was neutral and he actually think that has a Huge Positive<\/a> impact luke the number of households that can have a say of relief about greater controls over their property and renters staying in San Francisco<\/a> and have a huge Economic Impact<\/a> so the absence of mr. Eagle on were on to Public Comment<\/a> ill see if we have Public Comment<\/a>. Before we go to Public Comment<\/a> i have questions about this so, so putting the cards together i have questions about the legislation perhaps i dont know this might be directed to supervisor avalos or the city staff so the ina lot legalization puts us on a path to requiring the legalization, of cours legalization supervisor chiu was passed a few years ago for the first time created a full path to volunteery legalization for the legal inlaw units i was a supporter it passed unanimously that has taken the next step to you maurntd r mandating those units beleaguer listed there are exceptions for economics feasibility one of those those exceptions dont include the ability to pay so i have a question and supervisor avalos or the Planning Department<\/a> staff that you have one o someone that has an illegal inlaw unit and not the ability to pay what is that person to do do i know that commissioner walker referred to the loan fund she and i worked on and dbi put more money into the fund and we created that fund an important thing in terms of helping the owners bring their property up to code right now 4 million in the code and more to be added but the the cost of bringing one inlaw unit into the compliance or 75 thousands of dollars and 10 of thousands of units that quickly will be depleted i am to get a response to that particular issue from supervisor avalos are planning. Yes, thank you for your question we have been talking with commissioner walker about the loan fund and that could be a source that 0 could be available for people struggling to pay the cost of legalization i also had anticipated this issue a long time ago in 2012 when we crafted the Housing Trust<\/a> fund and we had language in there that made funds that could be availability for people looking at legalization or bringing the buildings up to code or people of low income ive dlaerd to work with the Mayors Office<\/a> of housing and Community Development<\/a> for a very a long time and not taken up the issue and not provided guidance about creating the resources to do that and thats been unfortunate but there are the funds that are available in the Housing Trust<\/a> fund and the housing shakeabletion funds are eligible to be used to resources that could a Property Owner<\/a> can use with the legalization process so me that is still in the works but a valid issue for the city to resolve those funds are gaertd to helping the middleincome and workingclass to expend their ability to bring their property up to code and maintain their property so i think this is a worthy goal. Thank you so first of all, let me ask Planning Department<\/a> staff am i correct this legislation effectively requires puts us on a path for people who union illegal unit inlaw units to. If you want to remove an unauthorized unit you have to go through this process that you the notice of violation from dbi or the decision from the Planning Commission<\/a> basically says you cant remove the unit unless the Planning Commission<\/a> allows it this only applies to applicants that want to remove is not a from those for the city for everyone to legalize their united for retroactively that we have and requiring this is requiring a pertaining to do the retina if you are removing or want to remove you have to go through the process. To legalize. To process of the Planning Commission<\/a> deciding whether or not you can remove it. So the Planning Commission<\/a> can based on the finding allow for the removal or decide to require legalization. So if lets say i own a home with an illegal inlaw unit he does but any neighbor files exclaims against me and dbi comes out and says you have an illegal unit what happens under that legislation. There is a notice of violation issued if perhaps that unit is illegal and notice of violation used it says this legislation amends the Building Code<\/a> so you need to basically remove this correction and the correction means right now go to Planning Commission<\/a> and get a permit for remove of resolve and from the Planning Commission<\/a> explicit allow you, you have to get a legal less. So im glad were getting clarity so if someone files a complaint of the think illegal unit you have a notice of violation and you either have to get permission from the Planning Commission<\/a> to remove it ill say unlikely and if that doesnt happen your mandated to legalize it and bring it up to whatever the applicable code under commissioner chius legislation. Correct. There should be a legal path if there was not a legal path for you to legalize that for example, some Building Code<\/a> problems it cant be corrected youll need to go through. Lets say im the homeowners my neighbor files a complaint and dbi says violation youre not able to get the permission to remove it lets say you dont have the money to bring it up to code lets say you dont qualify for the exemptions but an ability to pay what did you do i know i under that ordinance what do you do theres no other ordinance in terms of funding youre out of luck. Youre required. Maybe sell our home to pay for it or actually im not blaming the Planning Department<\/a> it as real issue did we know in terms of the range of costs to bring an flment to legalize it what the range i know that there is a wide variety of illegal units. Yes. The range if 9 exception program to one and 50 thousand the average about 45 thousand dollars. So the average cost cost is 45 thousand right now supervisor avalos referred to the code compliant resolving loan funds 4 million in that i think that dbi is adding another millions hopefully that happens okay so 4 million now the average is 5 if my math is correct thats 80 units costs 4 moiltsz maybe 4 million buy you legalization of 75 units is my math right i was not a math major i think that i think im right. So you have 40. 4 million buys you 75 legal unit units with the average 55 thousand. Yeah. So 75 units i think maybe estimates like thirty thousand illegal unit inlaw units in San Francisco<\/a> and the current code compliant fund if we use every penny of it for this we get 75 units and a Million Dollars<\/a> per year is 20, of course, this well not be using any of that money for any of the other codes work in terms of getting landlords to deal with fire landscape and other issues and so i dont know what will happen and supervisor avalos it has been pushing that issue and maybe that will happen maybe not my point not to say this is a good or bad idea there are merits for sure to this proposal but i do think there are when you look at who has a legal inlaw units there are low income and workingclass homeowners who have homes with illegal inlaw units that cant affords 55 thousand dollars to do that and if the city can come up with a large way of funding to pay for that thats great ensue it seems to me before we should figure out that and add a cap before we start putting this mandate on owners that cant afford it so thats the issue i want to raise and ill invite Public Comment<\/a> and discussion of that. Sorry can i. Yes. One point so just to give an idea of the scale of this legislation currently since may of 2014 when the Legalization Program<\/a> become effective we received one and 80 applicants for remove of the 55 its been complicate we have 98 that have been issued and has an opportunity been completed yet this legislation basically applies. Thats 98 plus 55. 55 plus 98 and a few have been revoked or suspend from the one and 80 this legislation only basic applies when an application for resolve is filed to the full stent is 98 have been issued and not completed yet. Okay thank you two other quick things one is commissioner walker referred to the issue of whether a singlefamily homes should be handled on a separate track but my understanding the definition of a units legislation includes singlefamily homes when i think were typically referring to multiunit buildings maybe ill ask the authors was it your intention to include singlefamily units again, the remark that commissioner walker made going on a separate track it was our intention to include the singlefamily homes that have unauthorized unit theyre not all singlefamily homes but singlefamily homes have a separate entrance for people to occupy. Okay which is actually every other house the excelsior. Right. And other parts of district. One other clarification on that point currently the existing regulations apply to the single families we require dr for removal of singlefamily homes almost everywhere except inform zones but this ethnicity approval and commissioner walker. I actually im sorry, i should have been more clear i was not referring to the inlaw unit but the merger demolition the definition of unit regarding that inclusive of singlefamily homes supervisor peskin. So in terms of singlefamily homes not a legal or unauthorized inlaw unit. Thats correct. That was over intention. Okay. And just in terms of commissioner walkers comment about whether it should be on a separate track do you have a response to that if we put it on a separate track. I think there needs to be additional work to understand how to work those a separate track might be worth doing duplicating the files were contemplating that next week to do that i think were in we want to get the biggest protection we can today i think that is making sure that were protecting multiply units and apartments and whether it is clear authors or unauthorized inlaw units with singlefamily homes. Thank you i have one final question and ems to supervisor peskin do we the department do we have an estimate how many buildings would be in terms of the Legalization Program<\/a> or in terms of buildings in San Francisco<\/a> with illegal units whether singlefamily homes how many buildings are at issue or issue not units but actual buildings are at issue. Other than the numbers ive mentioned we dont have a record of buildings with unauthorized a unit no record of how many unauthorized buildings are out there but we do have a record that since may of 2014 one and 80 applications have been filed for removal and the program we have 200 and 39 plaques applications for one hundred and thirty are issued. Of those either applications or violations whatever pieces of unauthorized units came to the Planning Department<\/a> attention in terms of singlefamily homes versus the multi units a breakdown between the two. Sure definitely a larger percentage of the homes. Can you give me a ball park, 70, thirty. Let me find that okay approximately 75 percent of the applications received one or two unit buildings thats the number i have one or two buildings. And under supervisor chius legislation if i go to the inlaw unit legalization it is abandoned if subdivision; is that correct. If i threw the Legalization Program<\/a> yes. Right if i legalize over unit your permanently banned from the lottery if you have a two unit building an illegal unit on the side and i have no intention of legalizing it lets say those two legal units are Owner Occupied<\/a> their entitled to condo convert your neighbor came forward and reports you and dbi comes out and says you have an illegal unit you have to apply to get it removed the department will not likely legalize that your permanently banned from subdividing from condo ingress that believe. I leave to the City Attorney<\/a> the whole building or the inlaw unit but a tenant there if you can show that that unit has not been used as an independent unit theyll get the findings that the Planning Commission<\/a> can allow removal of that unit. If they dont and youre forced to legalize it youre out permanent from the lottery. John gibner, deputy City Attorney<\/a>. Maybe we can get an answer by wherever the next hearing colleagues thank you supervisor peskin. Thank you, supervisor wiener i want to follow up on the path you were going down the individuals that didnt have the right to legalize their urban authorized units since that was able to be legalized and how was that since you said 2014. May have 2014. May of 2014. May have 2014 to may of 2015. So a year and a half of data this number was helpful it seems out of the hundreds and 80 approximately, one and 50 are able to move forward and presumably have the Financial Resources<\/a> if we move forward that quick and the fund of 4 million growing to 4 million doesnt sound like it is going to be a huge burden if we got the whole funds of 72 unit a year and keep money around for other things thats one of the my concerns but i want to follow up on the process on nov gets issued and supervisor wiener says the Planning Commission<\/a> didnt grant the cu and now is owner is forced to legalize i assume from the the owner didnt have the Financial Resources<\/a> eventually there will be a directors hearing at dbi and presumely have had the opportunity that will be turned over to the code compliant City Attorney<\/a>s office i want to follow this all the way in a worst Case Scenario<\/a> what will play out to that individual that was denied and still facing an nov . I think someone from dbi can answer that it is a process with the dbi commission. Commissioner walker from the Planning Commission<\/a> and abatement Appeals Commission<\/a> a directors hearing will happen the notice of violation will be upheld and the directions to the 14 to fix it it can be appealed to the abatement Appeals Commission<\/a> we uphold or deny the appeal and at this point it leans against the property the fee currently there is no mechanism for fixing it if the owner doesnt fix it other than liening the property the concern in the meanwhile a tenant in that location it is the issue we deal with unpermitted units we have a problem that needs to be fixed in some cases it is had been ability issue if we dont get a resolution from the Property Owner<\/a> it is in limbo we have situations im sure that tommy from the hufrts committee will unfortunately, we have to evict the people have to be evicted with a health and safety issue mold and crumbling ceilings and stairs that cant be used no assess many number of things that could be the problem it is one of the i think primary reasons to create a resolving funds in those situations we have it as an emergency demolition funds the property on top of Davidson Hill<\/a> was down the road in a heath issue were not proactive when we can fix it so thats one of the reasons there is an important time to take the step because we have a lot of programs available to expedite and building owners but commissioner walker in that process do you have the latitude and legal flexibility to work with an individual owner that wants to comply but not with the Financial Resources<\/a> can you elongate percent. Yes. Okay that would be helpful and my im sorry for negotiates if youre doing 55 thousand work to one and 50,000 whats the duration of that type of legalization activity and wheres the extra tenant likely to have to leave during that periods of construction. It really depends on how much work is needed and i think it is a rampart question i dont know many of those applications need to have the tenants leave i dont have that but it depends on the amount of work. My final question is not i hope a catch22 but maybe youve people spoken to the exceptions the number of c3 on page 6 this is the provision that says the removal of on unauthorized unit doesnt require cu in the department determines there is no legal path for legalization does that mean it turns out you cant legalize you can rove without a cu how does that work. Correct you dont need to go through a cu to remove it we determine no legal path to legalize our unit you can just get approval overthecounter. Thank you. Thank you supervisor peskin and maam, one quick clarification the numbers youre saying in terms of what was coming to the department for the inlaw units you were referring to people that are voluntarily coming forward to legalize their inlaw units. Two sets of information one for that i think 200 and 50 applications for the volunteery legalization and one and thirty have been permitted and the rest under review for the volunteery legalization voluntary remove or remove due to a notice of violation. Okay. So we dont know i agree with supervisor peskin if those numbers were to Carry Forward<\/a> in terms of the number of applications ultimately voluntary or mandated to the department clearly we have more flexibility in terms of what we have to help whatever percentage of those people that have Financial Hardship<\/a> but if the number starts to there significantly as more people get recorded and go through the system or mandated were told you must legalize is that number could become significantly higher we have no way of knowing for sure but creates a new universe of applications that were coming to the department the mandated applications. We have no way of knowing it will under consideration or decrease and encourages people from filing applications we dont have a way of knowing. Do we expect a new trend to merge with the notice of violations have been consistent in their number over the years do we expect that will change in any way. If anything i would expect the numbers to go down because people dont want we know that a vigorous process people will decide to keep it legalized. Supervisor peskin. Or did was that from before. It was from before im ready to circle around to the singlefamily question. Go ahead. As supervisor wiener was defining singlefamily homes in terms of not with a secondary unit legal or legally how many applications do we get or have we gotten over the period of time do you know. Since 20109 had and 5 units were demolished and out of those 47 were 6 percent and those were all subject to mandatory dr . No, that was administrative review. It could be. And the dr for those units that were defined as affordable . The dr would be for the ones that are not they dont qualify for the pricing out function. Right do you know how many units that or buildings that involved. Unfortunately, no i dont have that information. Thank you. Okay and those are not just units but singlefamily homes we have 47. Some subset of 47. Colleagues no additional questions why not open up for Public Comment<\/a>. I have mr. Ted egan. Oh, i didnt see you you were in my line ted egan. Mr. Eagle on can we see the discrepancy were seeing between our email on friday that said Economic Impact<\/a> and the reports says neutral i dont have it flovn me but it seems to me a change. Supervisor i dont believe our report says a neutral impact we identified this legislation as an impact on housing prices in sub markets the Housing Stock<\/a> under the belief it bans our review of the permits data significant number of dpgsz decisions of units over the years have been to enlarge others units currently on the property a question of Property Owners<\/a> to relinquish more for an existing unit our assessment is of the potential impact on housing crisis at the low ends of the private Housing Market<\/a> of occurring tailing that activity we read the real impact the legislation would be to reduce the number of removals of illegal units that average if a year over the past 10 years at the rate of say the removal of small inlaw unit or unpermitted units were to stop there would be more housing at that level of the market we think that could mean as much as one percent reduction the low ends the market especially the market with thirty to us or more one unit housing the city the other side to have a curtailing of the market at the upper end this inflates the housing we saw that legislation as a trade off between creating more housing industry at the lower ends versus an inflation of housing crisis in the curtailment of supply so certainly economic benefits ill not say the net result is neutral it simply has advantages and disadvantageous the inflation at the upper end is quite a bit lower the prices for the upper end is small with the price at the bottom is very significant we determined that was within Economic Impact<\/a> report. Thank you to your clarification and what you recorded pretty much reaches our goals we want to make sure our hub at the bottom end of the market. So Public Comment<\/a> . Ill go for Public Comment<\/a> ladies and gentlemen, two minutes awarded to you for Public Comment<\/a> please step forward. I have a number of cards come the order that were called that would be helpful calling names . Good evening im one of the many people fighting the eviction at 1049 market 20 years ago the owners converted from offices to apartment without a permit when a landlords intends to demolish a unit the tenants shall have the opportunity to object in an unauthorized apartment we hold nothing the bitter i iron the landlords choose to break a law this rewards the landlords and punishing the tenants that do noticing nothing wrong were in the third year of fighting evictions they didnt have to tells us we had no opportunity to stop at the and most importantly is didnt have cu review we are asking for this to go do the conditional use review and as at spirits of that law intends for this situation we urge to vote yes and and none left behind the students should have equal protection and not because they mean to be a c3 empowering or low but every tenants should have equal rights we ask you make that law effective april 1st before the interim controls that supervisor kim combblthd to give us the right for not losing housing 84 units are the program for loss thank you. Thank you very much. My name is melissa i also am a tenant on 1049 market want to ask that you pass this legislation we are in support of this as we are reiterating still fighting for our homes many of our neighbors have left the city and state and left the country and we just want to slow down everything and being able to stay in our avenue, i presenter your supervisor avalos for introducing this and yeah, we would greatly appreciate the support and in favor of that and urge you to vote yes, thank you. Thank you very much. My name is pat, i came down to talk about 3 residential be buildings i was told there was about 1049 one only excelsior a spectacular bought it were working pro bono but we have a problem the other extreme the excelsior no one is complaining that units is the garage no way to fix it f this the other in excess of one hundred thousand dollars in between there is an inlaw unit and i advised the attendants to run you cant legalize this it is 50 thousand sprinklers the buildings what is not said who won unit to two the singlefamily residents the rent control kicked in so to one to two you drop the value 2 to 3 cant go to condo doing this in small building is a huge contentious to the buildings and no way to leave the buildings vacate we dont want vacate on 1049 the cost legalization is huge what is legalizing i got hired not to do a study to remove the units but figure out how to make it legal and it needs to be clear rules what it takes to legalize and what are the unintended consequences of this we dont want to end up with a bunch of vacate units those are not leaving them vacate but i dont think many legislation is ready yet are the rules to legalize what are the consequences ceqa consequences where people would rather leave the unit vacate we need engineers and lawyers speaking out. Thank you very much. Next speaker. And good afternoon land use im a working artist in San Francisco<\/a> living here 10 years and live in a work space in Pacific Heights<\/a> that is since 1921 it was created as a nonconforming use without authorization it in 19 ti by the landlords that made a all the time to allow for residential living and artist living so an art space and home to many artists over the last 25 years since then he pass away recently and his kids have inherited the building they decided to have full market rate and it is in their interests to do so they tried many ways to get us out in ways not legal but they ellis acted the buildings before that a year of threatening to ellis act the building and manipulate us voluntary they went to dbi and got an unofficial permit to remove a kitchen that permit was not true that application because the kitchen part of our lease from 25 years ago my lawyer tome to go and put a block masonic the property i was able to stop the permit had that not happens i wouldnt have recourse and that space that inhibited arent for a long i urge you this is a singlefamily and mixed use on top and one residential unit it will not include the singlefamily we will be removed from that as well. Thank you very much. And thank you for joining a complex story and on times. Im georgia i will live in noah valley im looking at this problem from an existing part of the code that is section 317 when you added the unauthorized units i recently understood what this section of 317 means and what i think that allows is if you have a two unit building and somebody buys is and expands and make a grand unit and absorb the second units what happens they create a marginal units for example, one recently two units in a building two bedrooms and dining and living room and beautiful typical of San Francisco<\/a> dwelling what happened they took that second units and put it down behind the garage two bedrooms to something called a media room the living room with a window like not a kitchen yet against the wall behind the garage is what that means youre making had a smaller unit but still didnt go a reduction of 25 percent so i guess what im hoping for even this code a loophole is dealt with since youre dealing with the legislation now i think what is happening their smaller units two bedrooms is one or living rooms a media room and singlefamily sized units are more like gift units or part of big units theyve been marked that way you you know can easily be absorbed so i on a thats a point and im sorry, i didnt know about it sooner and pertains to what your doing an important part of this legislation since your zealously with the 317 i hope you will look at this i gave you a handout thank you very much. Thank you. Good afternoon, supervisors my name is those i didnt im with protection charm a Neighborhoods Association<\/a> first of all, id like to thank supervisor avalos for this legislation much needed improvements and show any support im also here to request that the grandfathering be only limited to as the lady described only the permits that have been approved at the Planning Department<\/a> level and have not yielded been vetted by the dbi yet please dont extend this to any project the pipelines many projects in noah valley that should be reviewed and go to the cu authorization hearing we need this to be extended so i appreciate if you keep it as is secondly, i would like to brought to your attention a loophole that we currently have in 317 thats for the owners and developers who deliberately neglect the properties so to repair that it might call imminent hazard and under that clause theyll not be subjected to the cu authorization hearing so we already communicated the amendment that we wish you to consider adding to this legislation and we would greatly presenter if you consider this as passing off this legislation will encourage people it dont want to face the commission and dont want to face the thufgs e conditional use authorization to let go of their property thats it. Thank you very much thank you. Next speaker, please. Please step forward. Hi, im shawn draw i live at 1049 Market Street<\/a> in 2014 person credit card this case since the International Hotel<\/a> your landlords owns our building at 1049 market and two other buildings with 80 units and associated storefront basically, im fine if the bottom definitely needs this legislation to pass as much as possible and not get bogged do you think im fighting for a single room with a shower and bathroom dune the hall i feel sorry for people that own inlaw units but right now a lot people that are fighting to have a roof over their head im fighting for my unit and the legislation that has been passed before with interim controls helps our units and others in the mid block and south of market so a lot of people trying to get e keep a roof over their head i hate to see that bogged down with helping people also that own homes not they dont say have their rights but certainly priorities for people that have more comfort so also id like to vote for the amendment to make that applicable to permit starting mayor 2016 and reiterate dont leave out the c3 housing thank you for your time and consideration and thank you supervisor avalos, commissioner walker and supervisor kim for this legislation and thinking outside the box and coming up with solutions thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon my name is ben also a resident at 1049 Market Street<\/a> lifelong residents of San Francisco<\/a> and honestly think illegal tenants residents since moving out on my own 18 or thirty years ago i feel like it is an imperfect system renting and not secure feeling living in an lilz while it is important that everyones rights are protected i think that is absence for this legislation go through quickly i think that having the units ive been living in youll my life having a different experience as a renter id like to urge or urge to protective be passed as much as possible there are a lot of people experiencing the same circumstances and definitely keep me housed as well my neighbors in San Francisco<\/a> and not facing the prospect of moving or rents we cant afford thank you very much. Before the next speaker came down ill call more speakerscme down ill call more speakerscom speakers calling names . Thank you, steve tenderloin housing clinic im speaking no support of this measure theres a great need approximately 11 percent of no fault evictions under the removal of units from housing use that doesnt include all the evictions for many illegal units for illegal use claim their voluntary units for the tenants and they have to move to address that will that in legislation so i expect theyll be more evictions no fault evictions if this legislation didnt pass two things i suggest first of all, we strongly support making that retroactive to march first 2016 in order to permit a ton of units to capture those projected by interim controls the south of market the other thing would be to not exclude ground floor c3 buildings at all or if you feel that that is important to include an individual unit on the ground floor c3 not exclude that units if other unauthorized units above the ground floor or potentially two or more unauthorized units. Mr. Colorado i cant remember can we repeat that relative to the c3 units. In c applicability you have the language. Im familiar what was your suggestion. Oh, after that phrase a comment two or more unauthorized units on the ground floor or there are other unauthorized units above the empowering i think one unauthorized unit in a building in a c3 might be something you can remove when you have more than one the building i suggest more on the intention of the owner to rent as residential and therefore should go through a cu process. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker. Good afternoon steve here speaking in favor of the legislation and promoting the idea of consistency as stating in the documents a cu permit for that not prnlt permited i believe the loss of a residential unit is a loss and not apprehending permitted i dont believe all units should be baned from demolition but not all the saved but thoughtful considerations to each units i dont want to see the destruction of homes for the fantastic of our city but making San Francisco<\/a> a special place if we begin this fabric without thoughtful consideration we can lose the uniqueness it may add time to the process of getting permit please allow etch loss of the united equal treatment and produce San Francisco<\/a> with safeguarding please allow all to have a process. Tony from the hufrts committee were in support of this legislation and the past two or three years the Human Rights Committee<\/a> weve seen a marked increase in the demolition of illegal inlaw units i put demolition in quotes sometimes were seeing a landlord who will remove a stove and sink and evict the tenants and bring the sink and stove back in he know that is going on i dont have the hard facts nonresponsive we know that is going on we hear that all the time so the cutters legislation unfortunately is actually insensitive vision zero the evictions not incentivizing the legalization legtions is the best way to protect the tents in inlaw units we hear the landlords have threatening and that is especially true in immigrant communities here in San Francisco<\/a> so again, this legislation is a good way to stop apa all that and protect the tenants the other pieces of legislation the piece of the commercial pieces now the math has changed in middleincome that is professionalable for them to return them to commercial use and a lot of artists the unit they need to be protected and finally i agree with the ideas of retroactives back to mark and steve colliers c3 ground floor units over and over those would two essential piece i hope you sends to the full board with a positive recommendation thank you. Hello supervisors Ryan Patterson<\/a> on behalf of the 1049, llc small Property Owners<\/a> in San Francisco<\/a> institute we object to this ordinance we believe that is not lawful so impact and not to impact at this time for a number of reasons the one thing we want to see this economic interact report this ordinance was i am properly determined not to be a project despite the rezoning of the entire city the practical result many units some and tens of thousands will be left vacant because of the no fault evictions or not connective sense so far a landlords to utilize these units the results of vacant units is blight an urban decay that averages the Environmental Impact<\/a> for these the owners o to rents nonresidential spaces is especially were seeing in Market Street<\/a> to an Office Building<\/a> you have people using hot plates to cook those are not save for residential use of a landlords finds out a space is not permit for residential use that landlord cant collect rent if the city is allowing to withdraw that unit the practical use the Office Spaces<\/a> small and large ones is having their Property Value<\/a> taken and it is unconstitutional prementsdz on the Building Code<\/a> thank you. Before the next speaker comes to the prood ill call more names. Im across the city at 1049 market and seen the market area people in neighboring buildings with different landlords having the same issues were not understanding their plight and the options until it was too late for avoid and many of them left the city and area i think that it is vital to pass this legislation to support the many people throughout the city living in Affordable Housing<\/a> unpermitted Affordable Housing<\/a> and it is too late torso. We need this legislation as much as possible so i think that is important to make that applicable as in maker as well thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon chair cohen and others im jan the director Apartment Association<\/a> in longing at the public and looking at this legislation i want to make a recommendation this board and group deals with the issues at 1049 Market Street<\/a> separately from the rest of the city and also that you deal with singlefamily homes with inlaw units separately then multiple units residential and commercial buildings to defy types of Housing Units<\/a> that need to be dealt with so a singlefamily home what that legislation will do a homeowner is unable to legalize your pencil lists them until the criteria goes through as well a loss of rental income overseeing attendants will not be paying their rent otherwise so when youre looking at the singlefamily homes with an Additional Units<\/a> your punishing people mainly marching middleclass and poor folks on the multi units building with the people trying to legalize with the units not warned my understanding theyre running into a lot of problems and dbi trying to get this done i recommend the body next hearing on is legislation that is this implicated we require the Department Heads<\/a> to address some of the issues we know we have the Planning Department<\/a> staff and the dbi staff and in deference to commissioner walker but not the person give us advice we have complicated rent control questions here is that Department Head<\/a> if the rear deck no so how can you handle this without you, your Department Heads<\/a> to address the answers to those questions that exist so butterfly recommendation separate the singlefamily homes at as somebody recommend and deal with 1049 Market Street<\/a> separately an address the larger part time buildings that are trying to legalize those units and having a hell of a lot of problems added dbi quitter punishing people it is everybodys fault. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi, im cash ive lived the city for quite sometime and live others 1049 market i agree with several people have said please pass this legislation please make sure it goes into effect without a gap between the interim legislation and the new legislation so we dont see a bunch of actions by landlords the thing id like to talk about is the above the empowering of c3 Zoning District<\/a> it seems like the legislation says that ground floor and below the ground floor units would not be covered by this if theyre in c3 the actual wording is the loss of one or more residential units requires the ground floor authorization for the c3 and the upper mc3 and above the ground floor of the c3 Zoning District<\/a> now i understand maintaining an active straight you want retail on the ground floor most of buildings were seeing are 200 feet deep they have retail in front of you think my building has 8 units on the ground floor and those are units that dont require the elevators or stairs to get to we know there is at least one other building on Market Street<\/a> that as units in the basement there is some reason why those anyway we would like to see those included the legislation thank you. And tir through the chair the case of building your referencing. Uhhuh. The 8 units are behind ground floor retail. Right the desire front is retail except everyone used the access their 8 unit and in great shape the landlords attorney is said it is a fire dagger well have the fire inspector no problem. Thank you. Im here in support of tenant inspection im a retired teacher the after school the San Francisco<\/a> Unified School District<\/a> worked there 20 years and ive lived in the city since i which is a young woman and i want my fellow tenants to stay one of them mentioning ill tell you about the people in the Building Professional<\/a> dancer and affirmative a group of designer with her own line of clothing were not the richest but were creative and responsible he and have a lot to contribute to San Francisco<\/a> as you may know were in danger of losing our apartment and others in danger were calling on you to get the landlords to legalize instead of dont worry about they have been required to get the cu permit so we can object and we ask the first story in c3 buildings get on the same as other renters it is not reasonable to make a group of people and to a into a second class tenants make the tenants protections applicable for the permits march starting in march 2016 please help all of us keep our homes and vote yes on let San Francisco<\/a> remain a Difference Community<\/a> and thank you for the work youve done on Affordable Housing<\/a>. Hello temperatures here im here just to ask you guys to please voted yes on the legislation for the mandatory legalization of permitted housing i do live in the buildings the mid block a lot of apartments are lived in by the artists and they add to the diversity of the area we have a valuable resource although not highly paid i wish that were different i know for a fact working in the building is now in that time collections in berkley and your museum this area included those achievements were aided by the fact that artists were able to live and work in these areas so just has continued reminder kind of what everyones has touched on the cultural diversities comes in many forms and it takes time to develop, you know, shouldnt be pushed out for monetary purposes thank you very much. Hello my name is steve i live on Market Street<\/a> i think im almost sure it is the same owner as the one thousand 45 people youve heard from it is hard to tell theyll changed their name a lot so i make my checks out to one thousand 67 instead of sf but the same people are making the decisions i want you to vote yes and i want particularly to make it retroactive starting mark 2016 the last time jane kim interim controls the landlords evicted several of our tenants some got you and some technicalities he moved in a bunch of businesses and remodeled some of the floors that we were moving the office yours into i dont think that is legal but watt those controls i dont have having a right to make an issue since i want to roommate and next door they need cheap quotes places. For their is it so id like to rents them but family or im front yard the landlords are reject and afraid what hell side i want to say the owner was in our building and demolishing several the lofts over the kitchen nets and the shelves to the pantry she said this was not reconstruction remodeling and didnt need a permit but roving fixtures for fire safeties the fire safety architecture didnt hold water it was simple an come down pretext so again thank you for your time i hope you can do something to do me i went to the academy of art urban forest id like to stay here. Good afternoon, supervisors my name is naomi im president of the Small Business<\/a> owner i ask you to deal with the Market Street<\/a> separately from our members truly Small Business<\/a> owner they were the people that have inlaw units are mainly in district 9, 10 and 11 singlefamily homes that have small rental unit and in the position of being forced to break the law by renting on illegal units or not being able to collect relents and some renters more often and refuse to pay over members cant necessarily afford the process to legalize some of them would rather having the units back for their own use the members are room cleaners the hotels and postal clerks and bus drivers were not developers and not attorneys we dont have attorneys on staff we need to be able to live in our singlefamily homes so what i heard the last couple of days from one of the chinese Board Members<\/a> is that the members of have voluntarily are removed their units and keeping them havent i have two houses down from me that are vacant this is the only option that these folks have basically this is rezoning the whole city into multiunit buildings and it is really should be subject to California California<\/a> Environmental Quality<\/a> act review and it should you should take care of those folks that may need some sort of relieve and leave the Small Business<\/a> owner to some relieve thank you. Good afternoon. Im charlie work on federal affairs im dismaced about the conversation taking placed as we reads is one to inquire the cu and to mandate those two those definition things im decimated bias or prejudice are throw the baby out with the bath water talking about this after supervisor chiu provide a volunteery Legalization Program<\/a> in hearing some of the exemptions it seems to me one of the motivations behind the issue is to bring the markets to units or provide for these are existing inlaw units on the rentcontrolled unit if you mandate the legalization for those owners that actually have a illegal unit on their property if theyre not listing to bear the cost those are ground floor units they have less Natural Light<\/a> and smaller we call naturally quotes they dont rents for that those the newspapers today Service Workers<\/a> and teachers can afford them we feel if this legislations it is passed the units will not be rented out i appreciate your consideration please line up here by the windows good afternoon. Supervisors shawn im here today to share my comments on this about the demolition of the single families houses im concerned about the process of converting to a conditional use creates on reduce costly and complicated process a group who relies on this industry who are our groups who are the members . Generally speaking english is not their native Language Movement<\/a> dont have College Degrees<\/a> many are from the immigrant community this is a group that relies on a simpler process especially, when the process works the process we have asked two question is the house above one . 7 million if so answer is yes. You can demolish it but if that house is under one is . 7 million you cant demolish anything under that nonetheless unless it is unsound like house planning is exhaust to whether it is sounds are not this process was in place for years we had problems with illegal demolitions and serial permitting with the laws trying to circumvents this system this process has driven people out what is the units of demolition 47 the last 6 years 31 were greater than the one points 7 were talking about 16 of unsound matt haney unsafe housing all of that to preserve the fabric of our communities i appreciate that but at some point it will not preserve the path in to too thank you is there anyone else who wishes to speak on this item looks like we can close Public Comment<\/a>. Colleagues have a few fraudulent thank you, everyone from the public for coming and speaking and investing in that legislation there are some amendments id like to propose a member can make for the legislation i indicated these two of the before the meeting began and someone came up regarding the ground floor dwelling units in the c3 Zoning District<\/a> so the First Amendment<\/a> and is language for the 20 first two grandfathering in a correction of 317, c2 that didnt exempts the u. S. Bancorp authorized overthecounter by the Planning Department<\/a> so there is language here on our desk colleagues the second one to make sure that the premise that were issued before march first, 2016 for the applicable for the legislation going through and so who these two there is language for them as well and other section is that we wanted to motion to effect the c3 stoenz is deleting on page 5 under applicability exemptions it is line 8 that says provided, however, that the c3 Zoning District<\/a> on the removal of the unauthorized units above the ground floor requires the conditional use authorization striving that language i quoted out now the Public Comment<\/a> is closed. Lets take up that matter colleagues, any comments about the closed amendment . Im happy to support the amendment that supervisor avalos described ill move the amendment. Motion made by supervisor wiener and well take that without objection. Unanimously. Wanted to supervisor avalos indicated there was a duplication first did you want that. I dont think we need to do that that was well have a meeting next week and if the new amendment the thirds one happens to need to go to Planning Commission<\/a> and the City Attorney<\/a> will be looking to that well duplicate that portion to planning but were okay to goes forward to next weeks meeting. Thank you, supervisor wiener. Yes. In terms of the the two other awareness discussing one of the issue of there is no sxpgs for someone that has the ability to pay and even though there is discussion about potential funds assistance sources those dont cutters exist and we dont know about the code compliant funds how we want to allocate that process so i just would like hope in between and next time it comes to the committee to have that discussion it is a real issue and the legislation really didnt deal with that, i know that everyone in good faith wants to deal with that but we dont want people that cant afford to have a lien against their house with problems i would last week to have additional dialogue about that the interim and then in addition, this issue of the single families homes not the inlaw unit a commenter was talking about an inlaw unit but the suggestion to do a separates track is in terms of the other section so i think it will be good to have that discussion before the next hearing as well so we can determine whether we need to make any changes i guess we could make an amendment today to i dont know if this is a duplication of a file or just removing singlefamily homes and maybe in separate legislation. I prefer we hold off the duplication about the deferral until next monday. Ill put that out there as an idea to see what we come up with between now and next monday and given the two not the most complicated but not minor issues from the week will be long enough we dont meet 2 weeks 20 from today is that president s day. Uhhuh. So between one week and three weeks i dont know if one week is going to be long enough so well work through the issues so occurs to know colleagues what you think about that 3 week might you been more appropriate. So ill be more interested in 0 supporting a two weeks with the president day i agree one week is baby boomer but personally will have to the meet with the Planning Department<\/a> to get a better understanding how this effects the diversity. So madam chair im sorry that was me. Ill just tell you what my southern is that as far as we are identified this issue at the 1049 proposed for which the committee has adapted is that i dont want to be in a situation where that timeframe is elongated so on the 15 with a second reading. Do we have a meeting on the 22 . That would put this legislation the mayors hands an or about march second and become terrify an april 2nd; is that correct mr. City attorney if were having a longer continues lets be clear that i am not this is a very complicated bodies of Public Policy<\/a> which seems as a newcomer or returner to this body gone better part avenue decade to be driven in a large part what is going on the ton 49 Market Street<\/a> with possibly thirty thousand properties so i want to make sure that we dont ends up with a gap and nothing goofy happens between yeah. Is that because of expiration of the interim controls so i dont understand why the sdprmz were allowed to expire but be that as it may i was a strong supporter of interim controls and want to make sure the tenants are protected by the same token a major port of legislation and has broad impacts to make sure we getting it right so you know in terms of were talking about 2 week differential not months. So going back to the interim controls i was not around for i have a vague memory of that it hit me an 18 months duration. You can extend that so those are less than 18 months about for some reason they expired i dont know why. John gibner, deputy City Attorney<\/a> those were there was a 12 most interim controls and a 12 months estimation to the maximum is 24 months so including the maximum. We hit the two year moment. Thats correct. Okay. So yeah like i said in terms of the issues impacting 1049 marketed id like to see those done yes, but the interim controls housed in the pieces of legislation that impacts a massive amount of prompts i want to make sure we get it right. What if we were to duplicate that file on monday and move that forward and then can hear the rest of it. We can duplicate it today and continue that one discrete piece. Yeah. Im not sure what amendment will carve out the simple be property. Not the property. The legislation as a whole deals with removal of units legal unit and illegal unit and on Public Comment<\/a> that property falls within this broad legislation but im not sure that today, we can really carve out a more narrow piece of legislation that will cover this issue. Well, thank you for clarifying that like i said if this was a simple more simple legislation that was not more broadly impactful id have no problem with one week but given how impactful it is and issues to be worked out i know that one week well come back in one week and supervisor cowen stated well not resolve those issues. Supervisor peskin. Ill over this this is as far as we have to continue a week because of the amendments we continue it so see how much can be done and if not ready for prime time another few weeks. Im open as soon as we have an option to continue. Madam chair the amendments need to sends. We didnt take a final vote fair enough the motion was made by supervisor wiener to accept the amendments well take that without objection. That motion carries unanimously and with that ill entertain a motion to continue this for one weeks time. So moved. That is amount and well take that without objection. That passes ladies and gentlemen, thoishgz theres no further business. Thank you, everyone this meeting is adjourned.
