Thank you shawn that should be it thanks for coming out this morning. Any Public Comment on item 6 seeing none, item 7 discussion and possible action regarding your proposed ordinance for the board of supervisors file number replacing a provision of the planning code with a new administrative code requiring all city believes that are assessable to the public to install and maintain one baby diaper changing that is assessable to 0 women and one assessable to men with the changing that is assessable to all genders and with the lead code to require the businesses that make the diaper challenging assessable for women and to install a baby diaper assessable to men or all genders and amending the Building Code to require the new sfasht and it be serving the public for baby diaper changing and other requirements. Good evening, commissioners im deanna a legislative aide to supervisor katie tangs office i want to start request context for this legislation and then i will describe additional amendments that have been made based on the suggests from the Code Enforcement committee our office decided to pursue this inspired by a law called the bathroom assessable for babies in all situations also known as those the babies act the federal law requires all federal buildings assure there are baby changing stations available in all restrooms so the male and female parents can provide diaper changing accommodations for their children we wanted to see open a city level and unsurprising the city as already completed efforts on is this 2005 the board of supervisors actually required that new or substantially renovated buildings must have a situation for parents nfl nfl that provided challenges with enforcement because the planning code deals with the outside of building not a lot of opportunity to enforce the law so we thought that might be best in the planning code and after further discussion with the department on agreed that would be the best route possible in addition, we wanted to mimic the federal law by making sure that all city public buildings have those xhomsdz available we put that in the administrative code and we had those discussions realized that a lot of the establishments right now comply with the code or allow companions but overtime have the accommodations in female but not in the male restrooms that provides a challenge for fathers particularly in same sex gender if they want to change theory babies overtime not any conformations available we heard Horror Stories of people changing diapers and cars and tables and chairs on the staffs we put in the police code if you are Current Establishment that provides a female restrooms should provide in the male restroom or a restroom available to all genders and the reason we the City Attorney decided the police code would be the best location was because of recent work on all gender restrooms if it person found in was not compliment they can submit a compliment to the commission and that will be forwarded to the department of building inspection if it warranted review so we brought this though the Small Business commission received unanimous support also to the code advisory they have a lengthy discussion and provided great amendments those are the amendments i will delve into and provided a summary as well as the actual changes to the protective but ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. About any aspects of the legislation with the suggestions by the Code Advisory Committee made sure to clarify the language said available for use slopping to assessable because oftentimes the restrooms are not assessable but available to the public we clarified this throughout the legislation we also winded the scope of Public Service establishment we saw from the planning code the Building Code we had to be more clear which establishment it will include we added subsection 610 and 11 some of those include the daycare and nurseries and hospitals, etc. Pr so we thought these starnth should have the accommodations available without a clarification if they dont have for instance, not a bathroom assessable to the public dont have to comply. One clarification on the like restaurant. Uhhuh. Are they included. They were originally included in the planning code and transferred to the Building Code they were included in the original language it is members of the Code Advisory Committee asked why did we not include the daycare centers, etc. In order to be clear we included the subsections and obviously some other parts may not necessarily have the restrooms but hope this is the most clear way to transfer that. They also asked we include that the signage that has to be posted that be the conformations are available must be in compliance with subsection regarding the signs and practical signs and they really added the emphasis the language needs to be clear this requirement shall not impede with my federal, state, and local for access to people with disabilities and balance for the necessary requirements for a diaper changing to not included in the restrooms so we provided ways to wave that recipient for we also heard from different downstairs and added amendments introducing one it is the compliance from six months to 12 months to give for instance, to the building they have need additional xhoopgsz to be installed were allowing for a one year timeframe. Can i interject to the commissioners. Sure. Is there going to Public Outreach. Yes. And question to the department is there a permit required for the baby changing station. So this will be included in the outreach. Yes. Okay. It was mentioned at the code advisory that a technical document should be added. Okay thank you. We also included that the requirements of ordinance will not violate or impair existing contracts we made sure that was highlighted and clarified the waiver procedure so if you look at page 7 the City Attorney wanted to make sure it was very clear the procedure is a waiver needs for public buildings and supplied by the city for subsection two for public building under the jurisdiction of the city control and subsection 3 for all other public building initially we only had the department of building inspection as the main overseer the waivers but realized that the Administrative Services and the Mayors Office of disabilities so theyll decide on the waivers of inclines and clarified that applies to all gender instead both and we clarified the existence of a bare diaper changing accommodates we added work surfaces a term of art that the departments ask we clarify and we amended the many substantially renovated that was for 50,000 a construction in general we said if 50 thousand or more for one or more toilet rooms and the. So im clear so if i go into a restaurant and roommate their air conditioning that didnt trigger off correct. Just permits that are pulled for the remodeling of the bathroom that exceeds 50 thousand. Correct. And the late we included again that the ordinance didnt require a reduction in the number of toilet facilities or other facilities to assure that the requirement didnt come afoul the regulations and other Building Code regulations. So this is the summary of the additional amendments he apologize we were only able to get this to you with the code advisory in part with the City Attorneys office to make all the changes ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Commissioner. Yes. I have a question. Okay. The criteria for the waivers of the noncity public buildings will be the same. Yes. They will so the authority to determine if this is enough space or a restaurant or whatever space to accommodate. In addition you know people are establishments in good faith maybe installing those xhomentsz already but they maybe impeding the rightofway or the passage so it actually adds an additional oversight to make sure theyre coming applying with accessibility. The reason he ask we have a lot of small restaurants in our city small underbuilding that space is a premium and and they might not be able to those current building will not have to comply unless their offering it in a female restroom and with a new renovated building before they built the restrooms are waved in advance for the Current Establishment we wanted to provide a kind of rethinking of who is providing childcare my colleagues time or went to an establishment and face that problem should had been to the one to change the childs diapers because nothing for her partner. It was simple for those who have a separate room already and change the signs for all genders or whatever. Exactly. Just to go back a minute because im a contract person the unintended consequences trying to achieve is well done and a compliment to supervisor tang and you and the presentation here today and you know working with our code advisory the 50 thousand that number came from the planning. Correct in the Planning Commission uhhuh. Code. Yeah. You know remodeling a bathroom can trigger a lot more money to the commissioner lee to some of the smaller businesses were looking at 75 to 100,000 that number seems low to me these days i i dont know how the discussions because it is a planning number and so it was interesting at the Code Advisory Committee they were okay with the number but the 50 thousand in the Planning Commission was in general so if you had 50,000 of construction it triggers this and supervisor tang narrowed that down to 50 thousand of restroom construction so we actually no definitely. It narrows it but even at the 50,000 to remodel a bathroom is low in contractors term what the damage the bathroom can be high and their concern about the construction if the renovation is 51 thousand that triggers the requirement they have to put a station a change of station but space is limit could be the project sponsor can ask, ask for a waiver. It is technically or spatially. I know you discussed that decide is made by the department of building inspection. Good morning Commission Tom hui i have a along with supervisor tang initially they didnt have the 50 thousand only for a bathroom the concern about mechanical change first of all, 50 thousand why i picked 50 thousand in case they need to remove a wall that is a substantial change you have time to remove for the accommodations and to answer the question early they need a permit step one an outreach if they need an information sheet and second thing they only school you in those diaper changing tables dont require a permit well losses on a complaint basis to make sure they comply to school on those we dont need a permit once and start to remodel the bathroom is 50 thousand we have a construction an inspector there and see how because this is more than changing a tire only sometime the bathroom only 3 feet wide how do you put a table you cannot it move around. Thats when the inspector goes out and makes the and well look at the drawings and the approval process thats why we want to constrain on the bathroom we dont want the mechanical change or changing and equipment and effecting the whole thing. Commissioner. Yeah. Perhaps i didnt read it carefully enough but if you have an owl gender bathroom as opposed to a female and male one equipped with the changing table available to all genders and not necessarily have to have every one of them so in effect it is almost an incentive to having more bathrooms converted to all gender correct thank you. Yes. I have and vice chair. Thank you for this it is helpful for a lot of people so the question i have ive seen the ones there on the wall and pull down is that are those permittable i would think youll not need a permit for that. Thats what i said we install that in a couple of screws into the wall. It can folded up and not affect the path of travel. We learned in the state code it had is ton deployed and so we understand because of this may not effect a huge number of businesses but at least were getting that mindset out there please put in an all gender restroom keep in mind some xhomthsdz available for everyone. Thank you very much. Thank you. I think were good and commissioner lee please. Last thing director hui i suggest the department put some procedures together about criterias for waivers just in this case we dont want to seem arbitrary. Thats what i mentioned to the Commission Commissioner lee well have the information sheet fir
