Sponsored that development over and over again and saying we committing to high levels of Affordable Housing im not just depending on a positive optimistic outcome into the future but guarantee with the marketrate. I dont the redevelopment agreement didnt have triggers we stop or pause with the open agreements in the way the agreement was structured tmc hats the infrastructure to move forward in the city to have the obligation to delivery the Affordable Housing subject to 9 financial structure that was included isnt financing plan. Okay. So the plan didnt include any conditions that will stop or reopen the terms of the agreement. If i may add supervisor another schufrn of the funding solution involves the local Share Participation what weve tried dpa make a commitment at that level but allow us opportunity to get a consensus how we should work with the board and the mayor to think through strategic upstairs steps without over burdening the general fund in ways to secure the projects gated on the island to Affordable Housing so their opportunities over the life of the approval process in the year or two what commitment made potentially achieved that will bring to the board as we may came. Without the e rap share as a result which the development for example, has had those types of revenues to fund for the Housing Program makes it challenging what he was trying to say in effect what were showing an outcome up to 20 years based on the developer developing through 2020 having identified fixed costs meaning in depth service and 100 percent of the Affordable Housing. My understanding that is only 38 million; right . 38 million. The 5 year exception and hope there will be left over funds on the back ended totals one plus millions is your honor, certain and that is the most optimistic if you know sacramento didnt allow us to call back e rap the most optimistic were talking about one hundred maybe 90 million gap i dont expect over the two weeks our multiple agencies will come to the board we have a commitment to this gap we are 100 percent certain well fund i was not expecting that today, i guess im going to reframe that a little bit i want guarantees so i need something on the line in order to moved whether bell fulfill our Affordable Housing obligation so thats not before us i want to think about that i dont want the development to move forward where all the marketrate development is inform nothing it put on the line to make sure we fulfill the gap the 22 phillips Affordable Housing we fought for i understand were in a. During the process that Treasure Island underwent it was a surprise as we were coming to our final approval we moved to the best Case Scenario and at the time, Construction Costs were lower and we were hopefully that the state will provide an exemption just so for Treasure Island to call back e rap we were not grand americas cup was we were specifically left behind they dont support Treasure Island moving forward with the e rap call back so i dont see us getting that in this administration but in the future administration again a lot of uncertainties im happy to move forward with this level of uncertainty i see the commitment in the city to insure the Affordable Housing but like to see something put on the line a debris to make sure were not building marketrate without the Affordable Housing so i see supervisor peskin i dont think there is going to be unless thoughts on the guarantees look like im going to allow other members of the board to comment. Ive heard your message and well continue. Mr. Beck he had a question for you in light of is supervisor kims comment you know one of the things we hear on a regular basis in the city why we cant build housing has to do with with not having access to lands a place to build it commitments made cleaver for a significant amount of Affordable Housing on Treasure Island can you explain to me you know in light of the fact we do now have the land to build i know i guess promised in terms of one thousand units of Affordable Housing why are we not figuring a better way based on this agreement why is there not more thoughtful and collaboration with the Mayors Office of housing or 09 resources that we have at our disposal to try to make sure this housing is built in a more timing manner. We have been working with the Mayors Office of housing and kate hartley from the office so here today but with working with them and the other commitments currently before the Mayors Office we laid out a framework between 2018 when our first parcels are available and 2026 to fund the First Development of 7 parcels with support from mohcd including in their next year budget including budget the Predevelopment Fund by mohcd for our first two parcels which will be available to us in 2018 for development that predevelopment work allows us to go forward and start the design process design and permitting process for those to buildings so were working collaboratively with mohcd and on how to close the gap and the other thing as we move forward it opens the dont worry about as i mentioned to start as we have sites available to pursue Funding Sources that require construction ready sites in order to be eligible for consideration we intend to pursue in 2017 from the Affordable Housing and the sustainability developments as well as suhr the h h p support for the first project which will be out the door a source of shares the veterans housing for the first project but securing that commitment requires us to be moving forward and having sites ready for construction. Okay.

Thank you for your service and again, congratulations okay. Well return to our agenda supervisor peskin would you im sorry supervisor kim were you done with your questions okay supervisor peskin thank you madam president and colleagues this is obviously been going on for a long time if we heart attack back to the days bill clinton was president and military bases were closed all around the United States including many here in the bay area in 1996 was the beginning of the planning for the eventual turnover of navy station Treasure Island to the city and county of San Francisco at the same time work began on the Hunters Point shipyard which as we know many parcels that already been turned over to the city i became a member of the board of supervisors in 2001 and we undertook action on the 8 years on the board including exactly 10 years ago this month when we adopted the term sheet for the development of Treasure Island contaminate that was envisioned to be thirty percent Affordable Housing yes, we didnt anticipate the end of the redevelopment but when the board in 2011 actively adopted a project that was 2000 unit larger contaminate it was reduced from thirty percent to 25 percent and i salute supervisor kim that managed to get that number theoretically back up to 27. 2 percent the goalpost have yet to be thirty percent if you compare this to the Hunters Point shipyard we have actively achieved that with no funding gap the way the project is very, very different im concerned i dont want to do development for development sake and make developers rich the whole premise of that for Public Benefits three Hundred Acres of open space and some 2000 units of Affordable Housing im absolutely prepared to vote for it but i dont want to vote foreperson for an enterprise promise but triggers and if as we think are all relatively certain that some of the ideas and i want to thank staff for Public Health department them in writing rather than available ideas now before us in this 6 page memo prepared by director and beck or 5 page memo tells us what we know this is highly unlikely political environment the governor the great state of california will take 12e7z away to End Development in the state of california i dont foresee the 25. 3 percent e rap and relative to extending the life of the ifd from 40 to 45 years have yet to take action but not limited to contacting our lobbyists in 70 in sacramento any staff contacted yesterday other ideas we should discuss and commit ourselves current with committing ourselves to the instrument before you today and the infrastructure that financing please be advised the ringing of and use of cell phones, that will be before us presumably at the next meeting and looking at the go down authority one idea i shared with the developers and some of members of this board earlier today is that if this board and the developers and the mayor were to commit ourselves to moving forward with Treasure Island ground to meet the gap come our next general election be 2018 or november of 2018 or earlier should there be any reason for a special election that will be much more of a guarantee than the long implication of the ifd or having the state legislative and the governor of california do something unlikely for a number of years to provide that redevelopment increment back to this project i want to i want to put that out there and i will hope we can have a very quick and sincere discussion about committing ourselves to a go down rather than saying general than saying we approved were doing better on private land on, on the mainland with inclusionary housing law were doing better than that in many cases and supervisor kim showed you again and again in south of market as pier 70 and in the seawall lot im having trouble saying yes to a project on land that we thank you supervisor peskin supervisor avalos. Thank you. I do have concerns about the funding gap although im prepared to vote today it would be good to have more time my biggest concerns were not able to call back that our resources that in moh that go through other be neighborhoods can accumulate on Treasure Island and deny other neighborhoods around Huge Development more Affordable Housing to have the resources to do so and i wasnt going to speak again but supervisor peskin mentioned a go bond made me think we cant have a go bond for Treasure Island a go bond that includes will Treasure Island but huge needs around Affordable Housing and reservoir and maximize the work were looking at my neighborhood is looking at go bonds and specifically at neighborhood spread over the city for the support if were going to focusing go bond dollars on Affordable Housing it should be geared to looking at places that we have to develop not just the housing itself but the infrastructure for the neighborhoods to be able to thrive it is something well be doing for Treasure Island and things that are despite needed to i imagine phil the reservoir sites with the schlage lock and other places we laid the ground work for development. Thank you supervisor avalos supervisor cowen. Thank you. I think that conversation is very interesting land use conversation and im actually was going to touch on some of the points that supervisor avalos spoke to about a go bond not narrowly tailored for Treasure Island but something opportunities there that is larger we can wrap the entire city like supervisor avalos with the Visitacion Valley is right more Affordable Housing we have some other funding gaps as well i think about hope 6 projects supervisor kim if anything you may not have said that exactly how much is the gap were talking about. 22 to 23 millions. 22. The gap is roughly 200 and 42 million. Assuming mohcd is 30 million commitment well put into the resolution. All right. I have no future questions thank you very much. Supervisor mar. Thank you, supervisor kim for doing everything she can to make up this very large gap it supervisor peskin outlined i want to thank kate hartley as well for making up that 30 million amount and thank you to our corral Ben Rosenfield and nadya and bob beck for the documents youve provided my colleagues and i are censured concerned about the likelihood on the state efforts for e rap and to extend the ifd for 5 years and other colleagues mentioned the potential local bonds and i also think there is a commitment to Treasure Island and i think that is critical that we follow through but needs of other districts my colleagues mentioned it is important but a commitment made to Treasure Island in this development to see strong affordability the letter we received from sherry the director of tihdi emphasize the homeless and veterans and project but the charities with the mercy housing is critical for Treasure Island and the many families that and people that currently live on Treasure Island as well ill be supporting that and supporting effort in the last few days a few few of us sure were living up to the affordability but up to the next board to share there are bonds that move forward their equitable looking at the Treasure Island and thank you to supervisor peskin for raising the key concerns about this and i shared those concerns well work with kim and others to get more clarity on what strategies to make up this 20,082,000,000 gap we brought up today. Thank you supervisor mar supervisor campos. Thank you madam president i know i came into the meeting ready to support the items not so sure maybe the kind of thing ill defer to supervisor kim as the District Supervisor in terms of how she wants to proceed so with that, you know through the chair ill you know ask the District Supervisor for her guidance on this. Thank you. Supervisor kim. Thank you colleagues first of all, in my questioning he didnt take the time to appreciate the work that at the end of the day the Mayors Office of Economic Workforce Development and the Controllers Office was able to do over the last few weeks in project by project the potential funds that will help us close this initially 200 and 74 now 200 and 40 million gap im hopeful that the prospects well be able to build this to completion im looking for is some type of guarantee that will help link the Affordable Housing production leader to our marketrate Housing Production in many ways similar to what we do when we allow the developers to offsite their Affordable Housing i want to take a little bit more time we have this hearing coming before the board ill ask we move this to later on in the board agenda and come up with other and i want to acknowledge the work im appreciative we wouldnt come if a place to guarantee the funding but like to see a little bit more closure to guarantee this commitment that happen down the street.

Im scott weaver for the coordinate latino counsel we cant look at this project as in a bubble for in isolation from Everything Else that is happening in the mission one and 20 household from this project and 2000 households in proposed projects in the mission will move to the mission and with them theyll bring their high incomes earning 3 to four times what current resident earn and their disposal income after taxed and rent will exceed the income of resident before taxed and before rent so lets look at what happened to van ness street with in development and some in the pipeline or Mission Street 24 721st and 22 where the project is that buck is completely gunmen if i had on van ness street our 6 can you sanity or a meal up to one percent and fancy clothes and spend a lot of money for a had been those are not the kind of businesses that belong in the district the kind of gentrification is the beginning what is to come is an overwhelm Economic Force it will change the faced of the mission and of the cayuga coordinate strict and ceqa requires we study the cumulative impacts of projects that have been approved and have been built that are at least projects in the pipeline and so at a minimum we have to look and see there that there is clearly a threat in the morning 2000 units that are currently in the pipeline i have a graphic here can i have the overhead . There we go. Those red dots represent proposed projects right now there are thank you. Right now thorough approximately, six 5 we dont have all of them down we havent automobile the information from the Planning Department but as you can see tare concentrated into two vibrant centers of latino culture and activity the mission is in trouble were witnessing development that is far beyond that which was envisioned in the eastern neighborhoods plan in the eir as of february of this year according to the Planning Department there were 24 hundred plus unit built entitled or under Environmental Review in the mission the preferred project being 16 hundred 96 that means weve gone 50 percent over the preferred project and the total number the largest number in the eir was 200054 unit were above that as well and we are only halfway through the eastern Neighborhoods Program that program was supposed to last if 2008 to 2025 the development is happening twice as fast as we anticipated and the diversity of housing in the eastern neighborhoods in terms of affordability, versus luxurious housing is out of kilter partly was of the rapid pace of development so this should give us could you say causing to revisit at least some of the elements of the planned eir especially where with respect to the displacement and Community Benefits we have goals of maintaining the vibrancy of our businesses we need to buckle up on that things are happening much faster than anticipated and in the small 5 by 4 block area that constitutes the cayuga coordinate 6 hundred and 50 lurk unit are at or nearing entitlement more on the way one and 82 projections were not counting on 15 and south van ness another project on 24 and shot well and 3 on the corner of 22 and mission this board of supervisors established the latino culture district in 2014 and established at the ding graphic area and in admits resolution the board noted in the whereas sections a long history in the latino culture district and it memorialized 2 as richness of entrepreneurship is unrivaled and the district was established to establish to the stabilize the displacement of latino businesses and residents and to preserve the quatro for the commerce and enhance its unique nature well with the one slough of all this development and more to come what is at risk in terms of cultural viability vibrancy of Economic Opportunity for latinos and how can we mitigate those risks before it is good late when a business moved a resident moves out thats it in their not coming back so for more than a year weve suicide the city to answer those questions nothing the city has said not a ceqa issue theyre wrong on a number of counts i dont know how thoroughly you were able to review the briefing that i gave you but the subject of ceqa review under the holdings of barks field that was highlighted the assistant brief was discussed and barkers field it is progeny stood for the individually a or cumulatively cause the replacement of mom and pops businesses with high ended biz businesses held by, llc corporation is such a physical change agreed or were not talking about urban decay in the classic sense bakersfield. Were talking about the conditions contrary to this city designated for the district bakers field is on all for us and ive not heard a response and second it is of historic value in my brief on page 9 is not necessary you have an actual historical designation to where historical value under ceqa the quatro district meets the qualification of having historic value and third the displacement of businesses nonprofits and residents will result in reverse commutes which will change patterns of traffic, parking, transportation and additional green houses and those matters were not discussed not discussed in the eir. Also a ceqa issue is that things changed dramatically since the Internal Revenue prices are you will stepping and at least counts for the rapid rise in the number of development twice that of that was anticipated and Community Benefits have not kept pace with that something that was appointment by the eastern neighborhoods comment Advisory Council the lack of Affordable Housing is recognized finally there is the ininconsistent with the stated goals of eastern neighborhoods plan and the general plan plan that includes the preservation for our neighborhoods and for the provision of Affordable Housing. So the cumulative impacts of this project and the others mentioned threaten those goals and an elevation of those impacts in establishing effective mitigation measures is imperative were asking that you tell the Planning Department to do its job tell the Planning Department to analyze the impacts this massive and sudden even marketrate has on the quatro district and other cultural we have and to develop mitigation will will blunt those impacts siding for the past year. Thank you very much supervisor campos. Thank you madam president if i may ask mr. Weaver to come back i want to ask you a question mr. Weaver something id like to ask you to expand on if i may the question of how the existence of the latino cultural district sort of expands on the analysis that the discussion that had in the prior hearing here we have on the bryan project so can be expand a little bit more on that how the existence of this cultural district impacts the ceqa analysis here thats the point you made i want to make sure we have a full understanding of what youre argument is on that. Well boring o borrowing from bakersfield. It is designated as Something Special and it is and therefore the impacts on this area are different and will have to be looked at definitely than they would in the eastern neighborhoods as a whole it is a very small area geographical but dense in terms of the culture vital outlet and the residences and businesses the city hesitate sought to protect with the bryan Street Project that was not in the district itself through we believe will have an impact on the district this project is in the district itself and will definitely have a direct an impact it is right through and bringing people into the area that have higher incomes we dont Budget Committee Little People for earning a lot of money but it result in change in the community in the physical structure of a community storefronts will be different were going to see instead of what we see as 24th street street more of what we see as we go down van ness street i pointed out in any brief that one of the big concerns that the latin cultural District Council expressed during the community dwaement the quote van nesstion of the cultural district and your seeing that happening and were not saying that gentrification didnt happen on hits own accord but it marketrate Housing Development on the scale is going to have an accelerating effect and put jurisdiction into hyper gentrification that is a kind of a physical impact on the environment we firmly believe that the bakersfield case talked about thank you very much. Thank you and now id like to open this item up to those who are interested in purporting the appeal if youre here to speak during Public Comment specifically for support of this appeal please come forward now youll have up to 2 minutes each. First speaker please. Maam, come forward. Hello, everybody im sharon on artist in the mission and i usually speak from my heart but today, i felt i had to read something we are at this crisis in our nation; right . This election has been devastating i assume for most of the people in the room and it is also prove that corporations are actually conceding in transforming our citizens into consumers to our quite easy duped theyve been wiping out villages and main streets for strip malls and box Stores Across the country so, now too Many Americans are isolated what with their communities destroyed theyve mistaken a billionaire for a safer but not only that loud a predator it is our elected officials turning a blind eye and that concentration of power and wealth is replicated here in our city it is destroying San Franciscos community San Francisco is a small city but until now if is always been a beige beagle and outspoken and speaking truth to power where we were we before this election were putting our energy here struggling with you our supervisors weve been struggling to keep our homes and businesses here when you been approving those corporate proposals and refusing to demand an Environmental Impact statement were working against becoming at monocultural city filed with closed offices and Luxury Development thank you very much maam, thank you. Thank you we have other speakers, too, we have to give everyone the same amount of time thank you. We hear you thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon mary aliza speaking as a concerned citizen we support the appeal of the eir exemption for the project because we believe the eir was inadequate and seriously flawed because based on outdated information a few cases are Going Forward in courts that upheld some of the issues the pace of highend housing has out paced San Francisco with saviors families that project pursue importantly will replace 35 thousand pdr businesses with 4 thousand square feet of trade shop that is doesnt appear to meet the new replacement requirements removal of pdrs businesses has resulted in an uptick of traffic as the construction workers and others are forced to drive into the city they formally resided in a serious shortage of plain scribbled trained people will add to the cost i personally am great deal dealing with that it is hard to get work done on any kind of work done in the city on your property have you heard heres a chance to send back a project to demands improvement to meet the standards please send a message that voters can expect more from officials than rubber stamping thank you for your time and consideration and ill leave you with copies thank you. Thank you very much next speaker, please. Well have someone take them thank you. Hello good afternoon id like to echo the sent times of the first speaker a critical time in our country and San Francisco is being threatened with the funding for sanitary cities to be taken away that will take a tremendous amount of courage on behalf of all of us to keep San Franciscos soul and spirit alive i would like to say that i dont think any of you in good conscious consider the eastern neighborhoods eir adequate it is obsolete and clearly so all im asking is is an eir for this project that will show the effects it is having on the communities and also the cayuga latino District Supervisor president london breed you were recently quoted supervisor president london breed . You remember recently quoted eyes and ears as saying yes, we need to abide by the laws but we need to be creative in interpreting them so the original intention as serviced o served none in the room can say the eir is fulfilling the original intentions of the ceqa law it is meant to protect the quality of life in our city and our community and it is both lazy and unconscionable youll go ahead and allow the eastern neighborhoods eir to stand as sufficient but things have changed since then are outstanding i beg of you to please look at a way for once interpret our laws in favor of the people and the heart and soul of the city ive seen many times the trespasser through the developers that cant continue thank you thank you very much.

Next speaker, please. Hi, my name is Mary Sorenson with the quatro that is the real david and go litigate mission with the protecting d on one does the developer with a nation wide reputation seeking yet to add a building that is brand on the other side is the community to rankle e remain its soul and community quite frankly if San Francisco the community is losing quite a bit not just in the mission the fact that the mission the mission is losing our identity yes, we were allowed to create a Cultural Corridor i say thank you but the fact is that corridor has no teeth no skin in the game were there in name only and nothing we can do about that building is continuing at a horrifying pace thanks to backroom deals if you think that is a harsh thing to say i have two words Millennium Tower this is a town you search warrant to pay to play the community will always lose and the developers will make hefty contributions to causes and candidates and the developers always win so i ask you, please the eir is important sends this back we dont need this building in our neighborhood as proven over and over again, we need Affordable Housing we dont need more highend luxury units thank you.

No, its not okay what do we want one percent Affordable Housing we want to support a project that gentrifies the latino cultural district you are by and large our decision eir this was created in 2008, 8 years from today, there are so many things that happened in 8 years are term limitations; right . The mission has grown so much in 8 years the rents have skyrocketed and so many things happen in 8 years and take into account on eir what is that going to happen were not living in did past but the present so many people have been displaced and forced to move out of the city how can you invite a Multi Corporation like lennar to take over the mission to take over bayview .

Thank you, maam. Next speaker, please. Hello good afternoon. My name is Diana Martini with the sro collaborative a program of the lower Street Community services im here to speak out against the 115 south van Ness Development it is just one more of many, many marketrate development that will further drive up prices and cost of living and make that more importantly difficult for tenants to survive in the Mission District we work with a lot of sro tenants in the mission area and in doing outreach for the past few years ive seen very high rate of diminished sro unit their illegally converted for tourists or flipped into micro luxury units this is a serious problem as you may know there is hardly any options for low income people in San Francisco id like to use an e of the hotel on 29 and mission that was a disaster tenants were getting illegal eviction flosses and the landlords were trying to push out the tenants this is a sunlight of the really expensive condo bus landlord see how much they can get for even the tiniest unit and what is happening people are becoming homeless, theyre living on the streets and uscf not enough space in the shelters in the city this project will further drive up the gentrification in San Francisco and what we need to do is highly prioritize Affordable Housing not just affordable but low Income Housing for the community thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Can i have the overhead . Please. Sfgovtv please. Yes tom gilberty how about heath equilibrium he versus the Real Estate Developers profits Environmental Impact report need to concern be concerned with the people that live in the neighborhood so here were go to start how about we start at the bottom and then go up the bottom 20 percent of this housing unit specific needs ellis acted Affordable Homes of veterans graduated foster kids and seniors who out would their resources disabled section 8 veterans less of itself 20 percent how about the next 20 percent if youre a teacher or fire or muni employee city roads sewer muni driver how about dedicated for the 20 percent okay 4re9s go 5 percent thirty years San Francisco resident 65 or older you can move from our home into 5 percent of those units lets go a little bit above that 15 percent 20year resident in the local zip code if you lived in the local zip code for 20 years those are dedicated unit for you not pefshl but dedicated lets go up against the next 10 percent 50 year local zip codes 65 or older were moving our seniors into some homes and from the local environment from the local zip codes and then the top thirty percent where do we get open marketrate let everybody move in that creates a motion in the neighborhood. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi, my name is julian im an organizer with the Community Group and the in the last 6 months we had at least three or four members who have been evicted in their homes from the Mission Bernal that is active in the group and can no longer go to hearing like this those are people regularly attend the hearings and not going to be able to testify about the impact this project will have on their neighborhood so i think that is something we all want to keep in mind all people that have business to do in the city; right . And when we are talking about the Environmental Impact of those projects we have to think about the reverse commute; right . There is a theory that says you build dense that is better for the environment to the means more people on Public Transportation but people have to commute from concord and richmond to their jobs in the city it doesnt work out that way the second point i wanted to make about lennar itself now many supervisors backed proposition organization to allow lennar to exceed the limit on office space built in the city with not promise of jobs or Affordable Housing in the Community Sea before they even made their honored their contract to build avenue in the Hunters Point community so my question to you to this board is if this whatnot the right time to hold lennar accountability what is you have a chance to do that here to weigh the real impacts on the human and environmental toll this has i urge you to do that thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. My name is rick hall the mayor has reaffirmed that San Francisco it is sanitary city for once i agree not only a sanctuary we actively work to attract them who am i talking about the rick rich that displaced the poor in the middle the developers we invite to caterer to the rich to displace the poor and do middle im sure out of looked at the most egregious numbers were offer condominium one and 50 percent of high income and barely 50 percent of our affordable target how can we choose to ignore awhile we are undermining the city by doing what we are doing question undermined the good pop policy of prop m by allowing San Francisco to be the Bedroom Community for Visitacion Valley that displaces the rich in the middle and are you know and give more in the last election to lennar we will be a sanctuary city but only for the undocumented rich. laughter . We are and over 4 hundred and 50 businesses 60 percent are not in the city i want to thank the i see 5 supervisors even though two of you guys are going out maybe a good chance to understand we need to have updated the stories they have i mean that is great you have union jobs they say they will provide by include the Small Businesses contractor we have we have every month were lou gehrigs disease two or three Small Businesses in the city in the Mission District we need to have a nonprofit over here with a space that costs over 900 for a democrat trying to have people looking at entries no work they cant afford is to so we are that concludes my report. The rest of or colleagues over here you know were each others that need to make more studies and support for Small Businesses and show support for the community thank you thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. And im a lawyer and organizer for in 2015 to 2016 over 2000 evictions it took place in San Francisco while were not Strong Enough to stop the progress you are Strong Enough to say is that 25 percent Affordable Housing is for the sufficient but displacement from projects like those the rent board has done a lot but there are holes in the protections and the hole here is that rent only the lower marketrate ones evicted the legislative aide what raise that apartment to the marketrate housing level places such as these incentivizes the landlord to create the weather smallest cause to go ahead and evict tenants and 80 bring groves of tenants to my organizations one hundred Affordable Housing is enforceable 25 percent is sufficient i ask you to reconsider thank you, thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors im andy blue live in the Mission District and i want to ask you what is u. S. Bancorp reasonable about this appeal what is unreasonable about this appeal appeal before you today it is is anyone in the room on another side of the aisle augural that the 50e6r789 is relevant to the mission in 2016 i understand lots of Community Input on the eastern neighborhoods plan none believes that plan is relevant and community predict when is happening to the mission more predicted 45 uber or google buses closing our streets the eastern neighborhoods plan called for 25 hundred units 2000 roughly unit by the beginning of this year we exceeded 25 hundred built and in the pipeline the eastern neighborhoods plan is not relevant dont us that has an excuse you have the power to force that luxury project to face the scrutiny that unquestion by question deserves at that moment in the United States we desperately need sustainable communities for people of color and immigrants you cant turn our back on this community for lakeshore of all companies. clapping. what is unremarkable about this appeal i know that lennar has told you this appeal is unremarkable who will you listen to lakeshore a criminal Company Based in florida that devastated never been a friend of this city dont listen to lakeshore all our asked to do have this go back to face a eir we know everyone or every in the room knows this project will have on the community a reasonable thing to do more importantly the right thing to do. clapping. thank you and before the next speaker speaks id like gentle remind the audience that applause or vocal express it prohibited in the chamber youre welcome to use our fingers.

Next speaker, please. Good evening supervisors peter Cultural Action Network yeah, so this the first major project to come both the brand new cultural district not with the protections in place were clear on the gentrification i dont hear people arguing this project is 75 percent luxury and 10 percent middleclass and 10 person workingclass in a cultural district are hugely gentrifying he want to point out a couple of things to send this back for the full eir number one lets work back if 2018 a question the community if raise during the bryant street appeal when do we cap that mess 2018 well overrun with physical building the highest end of the eastern neighborhoods scope well physically pass it at this point what will you do build from 2018 to 2034 is that were heated but ceqa the reason ceqa says the probably foreseeable future and ask you whether to exempt youre not expected to without studying new mitigations on the updated plan that is highlighted we dont want to blow over the line were at this hundred unit i want to tell you a curious story that is were at 24 hundred unit when the community presented this to bryant street in july new numbers were realized weve added hundreds of units not pipeline earth have driven the number not from 24 to 27, one hundred that number is wrong we need to correct that number before we go forward. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi, my name is randy and im here to oppose the titanic mess i. Think that the board has said it want to preserve and enhance the cultural district im not sure what that means if it looks like the western edition and the fillmore urban renewable i think you know we continually bring argument to the board what is happening in gentrification and how we can maybe have some kind of protective Community Protection after we saw the long list of proposes it is clear the board of supervisors cant agree to anything the voters had to make the choices i dont understand what how this is going to move forward tomorrow i have to go and support one of my friends illegally evicted out of bayview i dont know what la happen and understand why there is not a Community Protection for friends investigation how this plan is acquired is doesnt make sense what were thinking about pushing for 33 percent ami 25 percent for workingclass and 8 percent for middleincome lennar backed the prop o stuff to a lot of people like myself and now the entire country we are understanding this government didnt support people but protects wealth and property not us no human factor in any of this we necessarily dont know we have the infrastructure friends thank you next speaker, please. Hello board. I brought a proxy to speak on my beef hello my name is bards hello yes, yes, yes it is true im up here to talk about many titanic mess those on south van ness is there a puppet in government that might as well be real first of all, i want to talk about the corporations that taken over the control of our National Government and hope that didnt happen here the lennars track record with the detailed pamphlets on the Affordable Housing and the misleading reports on toxic waste should trike you to disallow any business with that corporation in the city of San Francisco alone and on the cultural district issue first of all, it is a latino cultural district would you approve similar projects in chinatown i judge want to ask you i cant imagine a bunch of tech workers that can afford those spaces are the ones that are basically schedule to more often okay. Would you approve that i dont think so anyway, the other issue the need for the eir first of all, from the beast and bryant the eastern neighborhoods plan is updateded outdated weve heard it youll so this is such a massive project that demands and an eir on its own every single development in the pipeline actually is requiring an eir as far as the loss of pdr space i have this where are the plumps that will build this project get their plumbing project if mcmillan plumbing is moved to san mateo thank you. clapping. are any other members of the public in support of appellant please step up otherwise mr.

As we explained those are social and economics impact not subject to the ceqa review until to a physical impact upon did environment no evidence supporting in argument and as staff available today, we note that socioeconomic issues and land issues and the planting is alledgedlys in the context outside of ceqa review with that, im going to turn it over to linda that will finish our presentation and note other Planning Department staff here including claudia that can take questions about the questions to address gentrification and displacement we also have chris who helped to prepare the c p examples and tipping i cant chang and who is the current planner for the project. Ms. Gibson to the arguments that some of the individuals who testified made with the changed transportation circumstances our response to that. As part of our analysis for subsequent projects in the eastern neighborhoods and area we looked at where there is any project Site Specific and take into account updated growth forecast for transportation analysis we look at the most relevance available modeling that is included as sf champion model that look at the cumulative impacts in 2040 we just want that analysis. Specifically to the piece of testimony by one individual that referenced an article recently in the newspaper about the number of tmc vehicles on the street have jumped to 45 thousand is that accounted for in the model. Service providers like lyft and uber are were not specifically evaluated in the eastern neighborhoods Internal Revenue because this is Business Model didnt exist at the time and at this point in our review of projects we have traffic counts when conduct that take into account any Service Provider that is part of general traffic and it is when we looked this we dont find that is changes the overall conclusion with regards to the eir and the subsequent projects in a meaningful way it is something that are out there on the street but not re89 to an individual project impact doesnt have relevance. And requirement to the bakersfield argument the representative of the appellant made any specific responses to the bakersfield argument. The bakersfield case raised an issue that socioeconomic result in blight e blight that blight relating to businesses that have been displaced through development can cause blight blight is an aesthetic impact it was amended through sb 43 to state that aesthetic impacts shall not be considered Significant Impacts under ceqa for projects that are transient ordinary and meet criteria weve elevate this project on 115 south van ness and noted it qualifies thats with the criteria and pursuant to ceqa we cant conclude those and that case is not relevant to the adequacy of this eir. And counselor burn you agree with that. Deputy City Attorney mirena burns. Through the chair with regards to the legal analysis bakersfield case drew a link within the socioeconomic ways because of project reviewed were the walmart style projects and there was some evidence in the record because of those projects being approved outside of the Historic Downtown corridor of bakersfield will draw people out of the city and cause vacancy and the court found evidence of blight a physical change in the environment related to things like litter and empty storefronts so here well need to have a cause link between the socioEconomic Impacts and physical change to the environment. My question was specific to ms. Geb sons representation relate to a transient Orient Development the state Legislature Took away aesthetics impacts. From the project q. At the a transportation were no longer allowed to look at physical impacts thats correct. Supervisor campos this is not out of departments 10 minutes. Supervisor campos. Thank you, mr. Chair i was going to ask the questions you asked before i followup i want to ask something separate bat discrepancy in the numbers address that through the chair or something that will be addressed by the next person. Les can gibson were not clear on what the question is weve added the relevance of the projection to the analysis and the question of the validity of our reliance on the eastern neighborhoods eir we report and i can look for that the numbers report on what the latest estimates are of the amount of development within we can provide those numbers but not roll call what the question was so if you can focus the question for me. We talked about some of the differences and the protection i want probation officer make sure what your response is to that and the impact on the eir analysis. Why not look for that information and provide that answer after the presentation okay. And then going back to the issue of how the gentrification and some of the other changes can lead to a physical impact what are the kinds of thing theyll make that to show substantial evidence of that. The evidence that would support that linkage is kind of something that our City Attorney referenced in regards to the bakersfield case a linkage between the socioeconomic effects that relates to a effect that could be that it is a direct or indirect link that will exacerbate the socioeconomic effect with regards to the points that are raised regarding displacement the nature of the displacement concerns that are raised are ones of the affordability, the economic, the income of the individuals raised and the fact in their being required to relocate outside of the city and that is in some concerns raised relating to traffic impacts the additional commuting that goes with each individuals need to do at the faster distances if there were evidence of that that needs to take into consideration and fully access what about the folks moving on in from areas they were living further way away and their commutes are shortened depend on where their jobs are thats the physical effect in terms of how it relate to vehicle trips and air quality, etc. At this point it is complex and theres not been study that is were aware of that can give us subsequent evidence to support an analysis that supports that linkage in this case that we are responding to the information providing provided to us we dont were not generating that study ourselves. From our perspective they needed to provide that information . Yes. But ill say at the present time, the eastern neighborhoods eir we looked at this issue and recognize there is a relationship between where people live and the amount they drive there the eastern neighborhoods rezoning will result in changes to where people live they acknowledge there would be issues that relate to gentrification and we acknowledge that and we noted that we dont have any evidence or any way of analyzing at the level this is needed to support the ceqa analysis what the change physical changes could be related so we cant speculate at the level of ceqa were looking at it again, a policy issue that is clear that those changes are concurring and longrange planning to address the concerns without the need of the sort of technical rigor were required to do in ceqa addressed in a policy way more easily. Is any of that evidence around what you discussed. No has not been. Okay. I know detail be more questions make sure that you finish our presentation and more questions. Linda now. Thank you listing ca is a good afternoon. Im from the Planning Department staff the remaining issues are under one that conditions in the eastern neighborhoods and mission planned areas are changed such that new impacts are concurring in particular in regards to the in question what quatro criminality district and the cpe cant royal on the eastern neighborhoods that benefits theyve not been adequately provide and 3 the project is not consistent with the policies of the general and eastern neighborhoods plan in regards to impacts on Historic Architectural resources projects specific analysis determine the existing building is not a ceqa Historical Resource and the project site is in the located Womens Network for a Sustainable Future a ceqa historical district the quatro cultural latino district not a historical district the area was he previously surveyed and it was identified other smaller district didnt identify the latino cultural district district as a historical district under ceqa the appellant has no basis to support the project site is within ceqa historical district and the property a contributor to a historical district or that the project will have Significant Impact on a Historical Resource the id like to take the opportunity e planner is available to discuss the Historic Resources should you have any questions with that said, the support of Cultural Diversity is an important issue and Claudia Flores with the Citywide Planning Division will address those issues should you have any questions the appellant further argues the claimed Community Benefits of the eastern neighborhoods plan have not been implemented or under professionalism as discussed in the october response of Public Benefits was approved in 2008, as shown in attachment d to that response the Public Benefits have provided as development is approved and Building Permits are issued the appellant commends it didnt comply with the policies of general plan briefly the project has policies and regulations was evaluated in the cpe checklist and the determination the Citywide Planning Division no conflict of sixth impacts not previously identified in the eastern neighborhoods eir will result that concludes my presentation. Thank you. Thank you very much and now we will have seeing no other names on the roster, for any questions at this time well ask the project sponsor to come forward up to 10 minutes. Thank you board president peters with lennar multi families we are little the subsidy of lennar but i want to make it clear ive not had a chance to speak with were a separate entity from lakeshore that is developing a shipyard so through were proud of our our alleviation we speeds in urban Apartment Community so just to be clear we started in 2014 reaching out to the community and trying to understand the feasibility of this Development Proposal we also start with the proposal that was 12 percent affordable and consistent with the current inclusionary Housing Ordinance it was a nonunion Development Proposal i stand in front of you today very proud of what weve achieved over the last two years we are consistent with prop c as three percent inclusionary and were one hundred union we have gone through newcomers technical studies we have participated obviously moratoriums and interim controls, gone through the prop c measure and we were granted a conditional use authorization in september so today, we ask you to respect the ceqa process we worked collaboratively with staff to insure that we dot all the is and cross the ts and we were respectfully requesting you uphold the ceqa approval im going to turn it over to our land use attorney alex to get into the study we prepared for staff. Gamechanger supervisor president london breed and supervisors law group to lennar i wanted to add to the Planning Department or the City Attorneys office only to reiterate the appeal focuses only on the Community Plan exemption or cpe prepared by the Planning Department compares to ceqa as indicated in our letter to you substantial evidence exists to support the cpe and no evidence has been presented that indicates a new or more Significant Impact will be created not covered or analyzed by the eastern neighborhood eir studies numerous technical reports and studies prepared by exerts that support in determination the claims rays in the appeal on affordability and displacement as no evidence staff theyre not ceqa issues the studies and information provided by the appellants an gentrification fail to establish the link between those issues and this project and specifically where this project will as a result of the issues either individually or cumulatively create a physical impact on the environment the appellant has cited the bakersfield case but failed to meet the standard in the bakersfield case not provided the Technical Analysis that cause the link the project is in a latino cultural district it is not a Historic Resource under ceqa the Mission District including the area that comprised the latino district has been surveyed and was found not a Historic Resource substantial evidence unfortunate record and the builders citys file to support those conclusions as to the claims that 9 and excuse me this is all bull. Sir, thank you thank you, thank you thank you clapping. i realize that were all passionate about this particular issue im asking each of you, you had our opportunity to speak we want to move forward and give others an punt opportunity to speak when that is done the board will make a decision in the meantime to move forward im going to ask the members of the public to please refrain from outbursts thank you very much. Please continue. Again as to appellants claims the bakersfield stands for the proposition that a special review is for the cultural district that is not true with the evidence before you bakersfield set the standard to link the social impacts to the physical impacts that standard has not been met a lay mens opinion is not enough and the professional opinion has not been priority give you a little bit of background the project is consistent with the latino cultural district it creates housing and that is a big issue at the Planning Commission and one that the project as peter not working hard 3 trade shops and a new Corner Retail and commented to working with the district 8 sfroefz to identify and make sure the use of those spaces meets the need and using 100 Percent Union labor the project as allowed mcmillan a local contractor to relocate one mile down the street and hire 25 new employees high pagan jobs and finally the project will provide three percent Affordable Housing in compliance with voter prop c the only pipeline project providing this percentage of onsite Affordable Housing in closing the issue in consideration whether the cpe prepared it legally okay. The standard is whether substantial evidence exists in the record to prepare a cpe as noted by staff and included in the administrative record there is subsequent record to support that finding the Legal Support has been met no further appeal is needed this comes before the board and in each case the ceqa document is upheld the staff did a tremendous job in making sure all projects comply with ceqa and presenting a requiring technical studies to make sure no in your impacts exist and substantial evidence in the record to support their finding this appeal is no different than those other cases there is nothing unique about this project or this appeal that warrants a different detector it is location in the latino cultural dpishth display change the requirements under bakers fields that has not been met nothing indicates the citys determination is wrong or not support by substantial evidence news i thus, the dwp e cpe should be upheld the issues are policy issues not ceqa issues we respectfully request you follow staffs recommendation and deny the appeal and uphold this. At this time i just want to let members of the audience i know a number of you are here also for the joint meeting between the San Francisco board of supervisors and the Police Commission we still need time to finish up this hearing that had been starting a little bit late at this time i will open up to Public Commenters members of the public to speak in opposition of the appeal please line up to your right here and you have up to 2 minutes.

Thank you. Next speaker, please. And any more members of the public that want to speak please line up to our right. Good afternoon, supervisors im xavier with the local local 261 i have an obligation for the representatives we represent over 5 thousand one of the comments that i want to mention is about the community we represent you know our members live in the area also, we represent community and i want to just to be clear a topic here and i dont mean to offending everybody respect every Single Person you know as a building trade im here to support them the brothers and carpenters and plumps and sheet Metal Workers so i support this project and move forward thank you. Thank you and just to be clear this is for anyone to speak who is actually opposed to the appeal. Next speaker, please. Okay seeing members of the public that want to speak in opposition to the appeal tierpt Public Comment is closed. All right. Now the appellant will have up to 3 minutes for a rebuttal thank you so much to say in so little time the questions were what is the impact of the cumulative emphatic that marketrate development this and all the other ones on the latino cultural district i think weve provided substantial evidence that will be negative that puts businesses nonprofits and resident at risk who are already at risk and the second question was what do we do to mitigate weve not gotten answers to those answers in fact, not in the eastern neighborhoods plan that those questions were asked because the latino cultural district was not in existence contaminate so the impacts couldnt have been studied and no subsequent evidence to support this conclude they didnt study it our job is to provide substantial evidence in a fair argument can be made that it should have been studied and substantial evidence consists of facts and raefshl assumptions predicted on facts and can include Expert Opinion not the technical friends analysis suggested by the project sponsor if doesnt puts the Planning Department on notice this should be studied weve provided more than enough evidence that that requirement has been met again due to shortage of time ill point you to pages 7 and 8 of my brief the district is also historical in nature as i said earlier not a historical designation in order to have this characteristic and when the eastern neighborhoods eir did its search to see if theyre looking for historical assets the latino cultural district was not in existence how could they have found it as a secret geological area of historical interest and finally there was the issue on bakersfield about aesthetics ive read that case probably half a dozen times and the project i didnt and read the subsequent cases not references to aesthetics by Green House Gas emissions and the sdrupgs in the community and so forth clearly aesthetics is an issue but not the only issue that bakersfield touches on and finally, the issue of consistency with the area plan that was supposed to provide Affordable Housing and much larger numbers than provided under the eastern neighborhoods plan supposed to respected the diversity of our communities. Thank you very much. Thank you. Okay. This hearing has been held and is now filed this item is in the hands of board. Supervisor campos. Thank you very much madam president and you know, i think you think ive been on the board of supervisors 8 years and you never know how those things will go until you come to the these chambers and go through the process and let me say i came in into that repeating thinking that i was going to vote a certain way ive said this before ill say this again that is very challenging to deal with the issues of gentrification with the issue of the displacement and the context of a ceqa appeal and i want to say this to the appellant and to the community because i think that has to be said i say this is as someone that has been fighting stloondz alongside we have to do a better job of making the legal arguments around ceqa we have to and i actually think that that point that was made by the Planning Department staff is really important the issue of substantial evidence on physical impacts but i also believe though that it is not on the appellants he actually think that is on the city and one of the things ill ask of the Planning Department and i know this is not probably the place to make an official request will followup after this i do want to have an analysis done by the Planning Department and will do it in writing to make that official that actively looks at how gentrification impact physically the environment potentially i think that we need that analysis done i dont know if this is something that could be done by an outdoor city without the support and help the city ill ask that. With that said, i came into in hearing thinking ill vote against the appeal but for those of you who wondered in Public Comment makes a difference this Public Comment changed minds this is a perfect illustration it does and specifically want to thank the representative from behavior for helping to change my mind and her comments about donald trump and her comments about nativeism i actually think on the eir im not happy about the comments by the appellants but the thing about those appeals we have the ability as a board to use our own independent judgment and assessment here i believe what is different about bryant the bryant Street Project is the latino cultural district i came into this thinking that case was not made by the representative from behaviarf helped to the person that referenced the latinos in Gang Activity in the past thank you for kind of shedding light on this issue for me because i do believe enough questions have been raised by the individualized of the record notwithstanding about the questions about the appeal to call for an analysis by the city i think we do need to go back and do further Environmental Review that looks of the at the issue the displacement beyond that in the legal analysis it is what it is well make that i want no part whatsoever in the age of donald trump with the kind of hateful ignorant language and rhetoric that was presented by those two individuals and im willing to think sued and taken to court for saying that bring that on but if there is a time to stand by do the right thing that is today and i also want to send the message to the other projects that are coming down the pipeline for the impact the latino cultural district let that be a message how you should precede because if there is a perfect example how node not to proceed with that, colleagues as a district 9 supervisor like to make a motion to move forward item 37 and 38 and with respect to item 38 to include in the motion faster analysis is needed on the Environmental Impact of displacement and gentrification on this community and specifically the latino cultural district and table item 36. Okay supervisor campos has made a motion seconded by supervisor avalos supervisor avalos. Thank you i dont know if i can be agree eloquent as supervisor campos i felt that for the past 8 years ive never ever uttered from my seats from Public Comment but found the comments are so offends from one individual talking about. clapping. where we were in the noticing and in the noticing i was working in the community and trying to at the time in the 90s two years ago october 1996 the chronicle was trying to over exercise the gang district and painted the cloth of young people red and make them pure like gang members thats where i was in the 90s fighting that crap to think we have a project before us that is defend with such ignorance is beyond the pail we have a system nationally that was repudiated in the election of donald trump but we know where the country is blue that system is thriving that system actually allows for the type of development that is happening in San Francisco that leads to wealth concentrating more and more to the wealthy and the People Public school low income workingclass getting the displaced and not getting fair share people saw the Economic System and the politicians that support the system are do not support working people to think that only happens in the red states or red counties is a fallacy happens in San Francisco i feel look the board of supervisors especially the progressive wing that is concerned has been fighting for that forever im totally happy to support the motion made by supervisor campos to uphold the appeal on this project. Thank you supervisor avalos supervisor mar. Thank you, madam chair. Sir youre out of order. Im going to miss 20 these two guys sitting across im going to join with any comrades in supporting the appeal thank you so much to the artists that have come out the artists and the Latino Community and organizers and activists the Small Business leaders and others for giving us the political context of what is happening in the Mission District and other advanced gentrification advanced displacement neighborhood we also know that many other neighborhoods are coming next as well i want to say that i did meet with the developer and i wanted to thank lennar multi family and others i think that is not necessarily about this project it is a bigger political context that is being discussed but wanted to say that 100 Percent Union labor the 6 sfmade maker spaces moving from the grandfathered percentages to the much higher inclusionary to the 15 percent but 10 percent affordable goal is commendable but ill standby with any colleagues and the community that have said the 1y508 eastern neighborhoods eir is way updated and not seem there is any plan in place to update the board eir i think that cumulative impacts has raised by mr. Weaver and others are critical for us to been not necessarily looking at it project by project but the city needs a much better plan when the Planning Department staff said were trying to address the displacement and the socioEconomic Impacts in other ways ive not seen enough to show me thats a serious effort a serious displacement in the Mission District and other places i want to cite not only miriam and Karen Berkley for innovation and the urban displacement numbers but also the budget and analyst that was commissioned by supervisor campos the Mission District is rapidly gunmen Phil Ginsberg the push out of latinos and seniors and artists and disabled people is to rapid ill give the numbers from the b l a 60 percent of the population was latino in 20002015 dropping below 50 percent and 2025 dropping half and the unable of wealthy people doubling with all due respect to the wealthy people that spoke in favor the project the families and others that are displaced rapidly but the wealthy is doubling to over 26 percent in 2025 the number is reduced in half and 21st percent to 11 percent in 2025 a serious situation soifshg and families for the demographics in the mission i feel strongly as people talk about newcomers that has to be based on respect for latino cultural dictate and a history that has been developed from irish to latino immigrants and has to be based on respect of that Cultural Heritage for the latino considerate that is an important part of San Francisco blood and i wanted to thank all the people to defend the Mission District and really stand up for a city that has a soul ill be voting in support of motion by supervisor campos. Thank you supervisor peskin. clapping. thank you madam president i want to society myself with the comments made by the maker of the motion but colleagues given the grave outlet of the situation i want to make a motion to allow the project sponsor that attempted to speak to address this body for not to exceed 2 minutes if not objection like to make that motion.

Okay supervisor avalos object and supervisor peskin withdrew his motion. Okay. Supervisor cowen. Thank you thank you. Good evening and thank you for weighing in on this weighty policy that is an interesting conundrum were in the same situation time and time georgia again, ive building that a compelling argument was made and we should begin to direct staff to begin to incorporate displacement and i also think in addition to incorporating the analysis of the displacement of what a project will have on a neighborhood we should be look atth total cumulative impact of projects that are in the pipeline and this is a particular problem we continue to have in district 10 specifically in potrero hill the cumulative impact were approving projects individually but not paying attention to the environment the entire landscape those projects will be coming alive in i think that we are becoming out of balance and it is important for us to be in sync so today you know the conversation is also about really brewing for. Couple of years we need a sea change and be moving in a different direction if the development shouldnt be displacing people but development should be widening the intent and bringing in and welcoming people into San Francisco and certainly ive said many times before the board in the Land Use Committee that i believe we need to reexamine and make tweaks to the eastern neighborhoods area plan so supervisor campos i will are supporting you today. clapping. thank you supervisor campos. Thank you. Again ill ask the members of the audience please refrain from vocal expression. Supervisor campos. Thank you very much i want to be clear in part of the motion that i presented as planning does its analysis Going Forward that you know the basis behind the motion and the look the focus on displacement is the connection between displacement and the physical effects on the environment and that is what was mentioned not hearing that was traffic, air quality and other physical impacts i think that is important for that to be considered in the analysis and, of course, what you it unique about this project the first project that is taking place that can have an impact on the latino cultural district want to make sure that is understood relative to the motion. Thank you supervisor cowen. Thank you i know were talking in context of a ceqa appeal a clunky tool were trying to use to bring about this detail of change supervisor campos with your willing to amend our motion i want to see the total cumulative impacts of projects id like to see that also analyzed.

Thank you supervisor breed for bringing forgot this resolution he agree in sentiment what is before us today ive recommend to your office an amendment in terms of language and so im hoping the board might entertain that are nonsubstantive okay. In the expanded title id like to focus on positive tilt and state a resolution responding to the election of donald trump and reaffirming San Franciscos commitment to executive silt and rather than focusing on the negative aspects of for that title in the first whereas clause i suggested just stating on november 8, 2016, dating was the 45 president of the United States on the first resolve clause line 8 that no matter the threatened president elect trump and then on page 2 lines 23 wanted to amend it although the United States will have a president that demonstrated a lack of respect and comma not change who we are and what we stand for recommendations i made because you know in my opinion i dont want to as the board of supervisors to stoop to the level of our president elect and last week us to focus on the positive aspects of San Francisco. And thank you supervisor tang and im sorry that i havent had a chance to review those particular amendments but i do want to make that clear based on the comments, based on you know the tone that was set by the president elect we want to send a strong message he guess i understand your suggestions to be positive and be above that i think we need to make that clear and call out what we know to be the truth unfortunately based on what has been said pubically over the course of this campaign by the president elect so i hope we could i know im happy to incorporate some of the amendments that youre proposing but i guess the questions are you suggesting i strike anything within the resolution.

So for me this is very personal while we may not have been able to save may sissy know we could have prevents the lung cancer my mom had this is very important ive been with the Health Department since 1988 i was here at the peek of the hiv epidemic we want to commend ucsf at ucsf came together with the city and we worked with the city and we impacted the whole world okay and thats what i see initiative it that not just phone call focusing on doing research that adds to the general knowledge felt world but using San Francisco as a laboratory to really fourth how to do this right this is a winwin San Francisco wins the world wins weve produce Amazing Research that will be helpful the way we are addressing those complex problems no off the shelf solution none of us individually or as agencies have the specific answer to pull off the shelf we have to come together to put our best minds and experiment and the rat problem Southern California how to do this together people bring to the table things they aspire to do when we align our efforts and communicate and coordinate we can really make a big difference this is what we call collective impact i believe for us this is a future avenue Public Health department but i think that is the future how we get things done a lot of Health Ordinances have social deternlts we say to Work Together and so i have a huge amount of gratitude with ucsf i get all my clinic training and born and raised in San Francisco im proud that ucsf is doing this and we know theyll take a holistic approach with that, we want to introduce dr robert hostility whos the chair of the epidemiology will continue the conversation thank you thank you on exciting moment for me im a physician and taken care of of physicians most of my life and an epidemiologist and concerned about the population that led me working with allen and others which is other people have said really a unique initiative in the acceptance that that is bringing together all aspects of Health Interested parties in San Francisco to do something that is really hard and complex and only done if we have a collective impact on the process cancer is the number one killer in San Francisco as allen said by car more important as a Public Health medical on or about than other problems might maybe 13 hundred san franciscans die every year from some sort of cancer and 4 thousand plus new cases every year so in one sense it is is manageable number and a big number we shouldnt have a tolerant in a city with the kind of resources and expertise and willingness to Work Together and willingness to build something with a collective impact this is something where we are starting with cancers which effect the most people in the city their may not be one and 40 types of cancers but a small amount of cancer 50 percent of the dedicates overall we know how to prevent them and what to do there are individual efforts across the city and across the country to do that the most effective thing is patrolling tobacco use excellent expertise here to further our work with Tobacco Control for many other types of cancer we have expertise in the city for many teaches screening early detention for colin and Breast Cancer and prostate skrg secretary of interior and expertise in programs to detect and do something that hip its and sustain our efforts over time we can make a huge impact sustaining the efforts over time this is it is a Research Project this is not something funded currently or anticipated to be funded by the National Institute over a 3 or 5 year period and then over we intend for this to be sustained for 10, 15, 20 years to really see an impact over the period of time we need to have everyones participation thats the idea of collective impact so not just ucsf or the department of health it is all the hospitals and the clinics and the Community Groups that all have an interest tomas has given a personal perspective that is important to remember if we look at it the community it is one of the biggest problems it should effect us personally the things were focused on we see the slut numbers and reducing disparities tailor difference across the city and across the country with the groups and social groups and lgbt Community Members and geographic areas we have the data that allows us to describe cancer in San Francisco very accurately in terms of numbers and disparities and trends, social status economic so those are the measures we want to impact over time and we have turn off all electronic devices.
