An ordinance 30 years the acquisition of Real Property from the state of california for sidewalks along van ness avenue under the jurisdiction of public works with the Maintenance Agreement waving fees and making appropriate findings ii was told ms. Julian is presenting i dont see her in the chambers one presenting yes why not have the Mayors Office staff make a recommendation i dont know is it finally. Xavier for various reasons which well show you in a little van ness sidewalks a desire so are the van ness sidewalks under the city jurisdiction for the apply for local codes like beverly and thanks of that nature Public Utilities commission performed on investigation about 83 sidewalk blocks that will be added to city jurisdictions that includes 2 million a little bit over on van ness from palm on the south side to lombard on the northerly end it is important to note that only existing sidewalks are being replenished from the state to the city at this time any additional sidewalk expansion will require a further relinquishment at this time it is should the sidewalks challenge hands we would go from state controlled policy and regulations to local public works code for this i guess id like to introduce ann marie from the city planning to give us the details for the van ness. Welcome thank you supervising emery rogers Planning Department staff were a thrilled this committee that considering this stem today this is issue that is with the planners for decades youre familiar with the efforts to work on the van ness rightofway and make the changes for brt ill talk about Something Else that contribute to the feel of van ness avenue that is how private development interacts with the rightofway so since the 1980s the adaptation of having an r van ness plan the policies to constrain on van ness and activate the streetscape with more feasible we have policies that talk about the development of acting that makes the sidewalks interesting in a lively urban place providing the detail on both the buildings through the use of aging Adult Services for bay windows over the state right away and activating the rightofway where appropriate with Street Furniture and sidewalk cafeterias thats been the citys vision since the 1980s the caltrain policy they have some more recent policy initiative that speak to recognized urban citys desire to have complete streets and mobile streets and have recently recognized the response to the dances of the county, however, there are specific planners that work on encroachment be preliminaries that are confronted with encroachment manual that was southern not issued for buildings or structures to extend into the state that is inappropriate gateway to private parties so i can show you although we have what typically happens when a project will extend over the state right away roughly heres a building on 19th avenue at noriega and selfhad bay windows on both sides of the facade when the Planning Commission approved this and after the Commission Hearing caltrain denied the encroachment roughly for the bay windows the effectively it looks a cheese grader came down the side of the building and the andrews is getting in trouble caltrain this is van ness ellis street with bay windows along the facades and after planning review and entitlement the caltrans ruled in a stripping away of the details and features the leaving of blank street walls no able to have the things for those reasons and with the new Development Pending along van ness avenue we would like to treat boechlts over the public rightofway the same thing on our own streets and if you do agree with the measure before you that will allow dpw to review comboechlts on van ness avenue as they do throughout the city thank you.

Thank you. Next speaker. With the housing even if Community Organization in support of this legislation i have a long history where this as come back in the early 2000 a group of us got together to talk about what kinds of structures to create for acquiring and preserving the existing buildings in 2009 we got then supervisor daily to pass legislation creating the Small Sites Program as part of inclusionary housing and then in the last few years the Mayors Office of housing has rolled out a program as youve heard quite successful for us as true this is the challenge has been getting e keeping a narrative about producing new Affordable Housing but preserving the house we have this Small Sites Program is one of those anti programs to preserve the housing with over one hundred unit in the pipeline saving dozens of families from ellis act one lastly comment supervisor campos talked about the amendments that have been made i think that is others have said important to link those fees to the neighborhood that are experiencing displacement where development is a happening the Planning Department definition of neighborhood is an Excellent Way to begin inform think about this as neighborhood preservation and thank you very much for the legislation. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors peter on behalf of the Mission EconomicDevelopment Agency and i also want to echo support for in legislation ill not repeat but highlight a couple of key points i think 24 legislation also introduces into the discussion and that is, we think this is an excellent flexible opposite for stabilizing the neighborhood those neighborhoods under a threat right now from displacement and as an example of the gentrification cycle that were seeing that we hope 24 legislation will give nonprofits the ability to help disrupt so across the street from the access fulsome on fulsome as long as this project was introduced the landlord were alerted approached the tenants across the street that have teachers and elderly and said that she of the not interested in selling the landlord they expected to get a higher price as a result of this project across the street we hope this legislation will be an excellent tool to empower the nonprofits to stabilize the folks in the community in the building that have been there 25 years we also hope we continue in a direction going deeper with those policies and 2k07b to roll out the policies that look to increase the Affordable Housing at the allow ami numbers as well as stopping residential and business displacement so thank you for your work we appreciate it. Good afternoon, supervisors id like to start by thanking campos and mayor ed lee and director rahaim two years ago the mayor put together. Working group the R D Organization with chu chu and other groups worked to establish a new way for Smaller Developers to satisfactory their bmr requirements unfortunately, this policy got rolled up with controversial things and sat for a long, long time currently as a smaller developer you have only two options provide the unit onsite or pay your in lui fee if you pay how in lui fee the units are generally not in the community and the occupant not from the community in fact, no guarantee and live in San Francisco right now the unit a are delayed if you had had onsite you have no guarantee those occupant will come from the community and no guarantee theyll live in San Francisco so we see this is a winwin it is a tangible benefit within the community and it really becomes a two to one as a overlay when you look at the buildings purchased and bought it is the same buildings that are subject to the tsf and the ellis act evictions youre getting more the units are in the community it is preserving the existing stock in the community and the units are online at or about the same as the marketrate thank you. Thank you for share our perspective shawn. Good afternoon with the Residential Builders ill hear in support of this ordinance and the two amendments id like to thank supervisor campos and the mayor that he the project i wondered why it took so long to get here the most affordable stock the football Housing Stock if we preserve the Housing Stock we have and by working out this program well get a lot more units for smaller sites than onsite again, we stabilize the neighborhood i ask you to move forward with this legislation. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon thomas executive director of livable city were happy to be here this is a great step forward more Affordable Housing in the city we ask you to look this ordinance and move towards implementation look at a disconnect between the small sites and another imperative within the city accessary dwellings especially illegal units this year we have a reverse of city policy and like to whatever those unions e units are found and brought up to code like to you preserve those unite thats imperative in the planning code and the other laws of the city unfortunately, the funding that is available through moe or the Small Sites Program prohibits the use of grant in that program for the rehabilitation and bringing up to code the illegal units the unit have to be legal the only recourse to rove the unit we believe that is a conflict between too important areas one way or another with the small sites getting them into the small management and the new rules it existed are going to push people that are acquiring those properties toward the removal of property thats not the right approach we ask you work with moe so moe guidelines for the Grant Funding and our citys imperative to retain many Housing Units within the existing buildings begin to match up going in opposite drishthsdz thank you. Thank you, tom any Public Comment on this item please do so at the time seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor campos any last remarks. Yes. Thank you very much be madam chair and commissioner peskin for looking at this ill ask you amend the legislation along the lines that i described and again, i want to thank everyone that came out it is i guess a typical Broad Coalition that supports a supervisor campos piece of legislation i think the only ones that were missing with the bayview Renter Federation and the 0e9 party but probably for the better i respectfully ask you amend 9 legislation with the two points ive outlined and thank you to everyone involved and ask you have a positive recommendation. The best part of legislation is that the Small Sites Program provides low cost loans to the acquisition of apartment buildings losing their favorable to the regulations congratulation i applaud you supervisor peskin. I second that and would like to move the amendments and then move the item as amended to the full board with a positive recommendation recommendation and thank you supervisor campos for his parting piece of good policy. One question do you want it as a Committee Report to come out to be here tomorrow or no. No. All right. No Committee Report so the motion stands as supervisor peskin stated without objection that passes thank you thank you. Thank you. Item 4 please. Item 4 an ordinance amending the planning code for the citywide transportation to demand management that requires the Development Project to support the sustainable forms of transportation create an administrative fee and making appropriate finlands. Good afternoon supervisor avalos is the author of this item i see his id jeremy his aid will be presenting a few remarks for us today welcome mr. Pollack. Good afternoon legislative aide to supervisor avalos who is unable to be here take into consideration and he appreciated the discussion last week he understand the Planning Department is reviewing some of the feedback from last weeks hearing if the additional continuance to work out and supervisor avalos is open hell ask continued to next week and to the full board next week i think were encouraged there is a broads agreement on the tdm and this is an Exciting Program we want implemented seems like many details to be worked out that the ordinance leaves to the Planning Commission to the determination on the standards so we hope it be a responsibility decision u discussion in january and supervisor avalos we want to establish that with the current board and then you know leave to the advocates and the commission and mraech to work out the specifics in january thank you for your time and consideration. Thank you very much. Mr. Rahaim. Good afternoon, supervisors john rahaim im pleased to be but to talk about this important ordinance the transportation to demand management ordinance is a third part of a 3 threelegged stool weve worked on there the umbrella of the sustainability plan the first is implemented the sustainability fee that replaces the impact fee and the second the change in how we analyze the transportation impacts in the ceqa documents or the change from level of service, if you will, those two pieces are in place in the the threelegged stool this is two years in the making weve been working closely with the Transportation Authority with the mta and the department of Emergency Management on this orientals an important piece of citys transportation to demand management but also part important part of the complifk action we thank the agencies for all their work and we have the before the Planning Commission acted we had a lot of outreach we spent a lot of time working with the developers ones the projects ill say there is quirks to work out we think a few things that effect large and Small Projects not resolved in the way it is structured so i will is that as jeremy point we think that is valuable to have more time to work on this he stated the Program Standard which are the specific calculations, if you will, that developers will make with respect to those under the juris the Planning Commission and expect them to act on january 19th that is the the current on the advanced schedule it helps us to have more time to workout the kings weve identified with the developers so well ask we think that having said that, that work for the vast majority and broad support for the concept i think the developers that going to ask for additional work on this generally agree in concept with that ordinances proposed and the Planning Commission in use of force support this so with that, ill im going to turn it over to wade that will go over the program in details thank you. Can i have the overhead, please . Wade senior planner with the Department Staff i know know that mr. Teague and corey went over details i want to remind you and go over some of the comments we received roll call that programming received to the item before you will set the applicablely the exemption, the owl of the structure of the program ohio sets forth the all the reporting and compliance of the program below that is the tdm standards so on the lefthand side of the screen with the tdm Program Standards and that so forth the specification of the program and sfoefths the measures the number of points for those measures and how the monitoring and reporting will occur those along with the appendix the appendix owls the details for the measures were adopted but the Planning Commission in august and that the director said will be back before you in january the tdm technical striation document provides as the name applies the technical basis for how we assigned points to individual measures how we decided whether or not to include or exclude the measures from the memo so define those underneath the directive really the policy that in the ordinance before you today and good plo we think this is revised after adaptation and staff has filled that into the program one of the more crucial we think unique aspects of this the implementations of strategy staff will evaluate and refine the point values and measures in the memo to reflect the Data Collections this is out there we may also reflect tarts over time based on citywide planning documents that have either the legislation and adaptation of the standard is an important fir step we acknowledge it is that a first step the standards are a living document and the implementation and finance of that had been the most existing part over a long period of time so the city can be nimble responsive and up to date so this next slide we went over a number of comments over the last year and more roll call last week here are some comments that have been received as director rahaim mentioned for a small number of projects at the margin of the project had will be subject to the Program First weve received some comments regarding familysized unit and their need attire private Parking Spaces we acknowledge that families trip considerations and addressing many of those is beyond the scope of the tdm program for example, Transportation Options save route to school and neighborhood based Family Resources cant be addressed if in program, however, owl measures in the Program Supports the families and some are focused at the challenges of family space and support the families car free lifestyles we want to make sure that families are not deprived of the amenities that building with smaller sizings will be able to have if their subject to the fireman therefore were open to be further ideas grounded in research and the challenges and the goals of the program in addition weve received comments regarding programs at the margin i mentioned that will be subject to the program Small Projects and large projects and lastly weve received feedback regarding the more points or the inclusion of new measures in the program and again, it comes back to the standards and we can amend over time and doing that based on a level of security in any by staff to include them so we intended to make changes to the Program Standards in january of the as the director mentioned and articulated some of those changes last week in the memo that was distributed to the committee and potentially more based further outreach that we hope to do with various stakeholders so in conclusion that staff is available to answer question that you may have. Thank you for the presentation mr. Pollock did supervisor campos have amendments that call for walk sf from the concerns is walk sf and h f. I think were reviewing that and talk with the City Attorney hopefully next week to share. You thank you very much thank you for your presentations go ahead and take Public Comment on this item Public Comment is open please come forward well start with you welcome. Hello. Thank you supervisors josh with nelson consulting were a Transportation Planning firm here in so and started by a couple of forms City Employees 3 decades ago weve been a National Leader on parking and transportation to demand management and im also a City Resident in coal valley and have family going back a while and once fulfill enforcement endorsement on this ordinance i think that is a draws on a model in cambridge massachusetts they saw an increase in the development awhile reducing the all traffic in a few key neighborhood we work with clients across the country and the best developers or thinking about those types of programs how to get people have envelopes duo into their projects and what theyve found tdm is a winwin i think it y can help the neighbors that theyre committed to reducing the negative impacts on them and the environment and survives the Developers Money at the same time and cities is getting into the games and has the potential to be a helpful model and in fact, were using the framework with the city and minnesota already so i think this is the framework is quite flexible and i think that is helpful in Getting Developers to think concretely about the way we can reduce auto travel among people that are open to that and i think the data is a key thing that come out of that and then adjust the ordinances on the data that comes out of program. Thank you. Next speaker. Hello supervisors my name is william i live on 18 avenue in ive been a resident there for thirty years im a member of San Francisco musicians local 6 for the legislative and play in the San Francisco nutcracker blah will be 33 performances across the street there will be 17 performances of chris music and lectures for jazz center at the conservatory in the immediate neighborhood. Sir what does that have to do with item 4. Transportation and planning. In other parts a tremendously performances and movies and people drive cars it is not realistic to assume that all audience members and stagehand and band and bartender or security person will take part in muni or after for evening performances when our considering electricity please make sure that the discussion is driven less by ideological and more by scientific testing and concerns please make sure that proper consideration is given for traffic flow and parking so the great city of San Francisco can continue to be a magnet for all the fun the great city has to offer and please remember those grandmothers bringing up those grandchildren to the nut cracker. Thank you you good afternoon tim colen, San FranciscoHousing Action coalition. So livable city is since the inception been a keen advocate of transportation to demand management and worked with folks including supervisor peskin with the correspondence that make up this origin lice e like parking or eliminating millennium parking requirement so, of course, were excited to see the city will take a tdm measure study but we have countered makes sure measures that are on the boxes that are ignored or you know the creation of huge amounts of traffic were living that with were suggesting in getting those so we reviewed the ordinances think there is strength but think this has a way to go before it is the tool we want it to be an effective tool for allowing the city to grow to allow more housing and resident to add new businesses and jobs awhile keeping congestion at is manageable level and preserve the environment one of the things were concerned is loopholes nonsear parking be ignored in terms of the tdm aspects of this from other parking and this is a a leg fiction that there is no evidence behind we think will undermine the ordinance and we need to look at the management to match the existing development we want to make sure that the new development didnt overwhelm the roads that requires the neighborhood start that that might be tightener than and 234ird voluntary tdm we have requirements for minimum parking space requirement do away with those but law allow owl projects doing everything we can and keen to work with you and staff thank you, thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello supervisors my name is jan the advocate of the biocycle coalition how often do you have city departments and planners saying living documents and flexible i think that is the biocycle coalition best Case Scenario recognizes room to grow this is the last piece of threelegged stool a long history of getting us to where selfis and how much impact with the two other pieces of of the threelegged stool but there is urgency in moving forward and we are very strongly supportive of this to also come back to a Planning Commission and take a look at the we want to see this move forward we know that now is where we have to pass programs like this to think about how the city grows and needs to do this sooner as all the developments come in and supporting this program and hope it continues thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors im matt t gm to tdm San Francisco has the lowest families and the city policy goal to increase the number of families living in the city our tdm supports that policy goal and recognizes the cars family need and have cars their unique parenting for working parents those include getting multiple kids from multiples schools for the most School Programs sports and tutoring and others shopping for groceries and things parents do one of the main ways to get to those plays through sharing responsibility and using carpooling you cant be in a carpool without a car you own a car and need a place to park it parents need cars but the tdm didnt provide adequate parking and in fact, it sets the parking standards with no consideration for the number of bedrooms in the unit very simply more bedrooms equals for occupant equals for parking demand as drafted if treats the parking for San Franciscos and bedrooms this result in a higher ratio of parking for bromdz and multiple bedroom unit the standards result in one stall per unit no such thing. A. 3 means one in 3 unit unit without parking dont work well, for families parking standards should be set to work for the Family Housing as well the problem is compound by a cap on projects total Parking Spaces of 200 and 80 stalls that reduces the projects we want to encourage you to amend the plan to preserve the parking standards within the districts with a per importance thank you. Next speaker. From the Human Services appreciation to supervisor avalos and his staff mr. Pollack and other members of this body for our consideration to have the staff Human Services from the tdm requirement i want to be clear that it is not a resistance to implementing things like bike racks and things like that but it is the fact that those organizations generate significantly few travel miles traveled and do not want to be burdened with new requirement that create new Unfunded Mandate address costs that increase the costs of providing services for the low income and 12k5uk9d population we want to work with the Planning Department and craft something appropriate for the organizations we have a tremendous problem in the city with nonprofit displacement look at ownership that may not be apply to that many projects that is fine if it is not that many projects then the city is giving up benefits but we hope in the future they will be more ownership projects we have prop x for the replacement space for loss of nonprofit and from the Mayors Office to look at long term Ownership Solutions and look colocation projects with the nonprofit to develop so we thank you for your time and consideration and hope next will have something presented to address those issues thank you very much. Thank you next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors deb director of San Francisco department of the environment im here on behalf of the the commission of development r environment to express our support as you may know 50 percent of the Green House Gas come from the transportation sector we absolutely have to get people out of their cars tdm is probably my at least favored acronym in government it stand for is kresh8 important to have a Better Change we need to have the 3 elements this ordinance so lovrnt you puts together the the mooevenlgness the flexibility of the approach and finally the built in accountability that will allow us to proceed in a way to address any shortcomings of the miles an hour he know a constant evaluation we believe this ordinance will give us significant reductions to the vehicle Million Dollars traveled and therefore be an important part of climatic change strategy thank you. Next speaker, please. And good job im with the council of Housing Organization i want to congratulate this board in particular supervisor avalos for moving forward a comprehensive Transportation Plan i do want to raise 3 concerns a couple of which have been raised already number one i think this is extremely important to understand the city funded Human Services nonprofits should be exempted and that has to happen in the legislation not that hemispheres later who drives to a homeless shelter who drives to a clinic or youth store those are primarily uses that serve the pedestrians and serve transit users i think that is important that when the social Service Nonprofits develop new spaces a lot of that Capital Funding is coming from the city so this board just passed a nonprofit Displacement Fund of 4 million a lot of the funding will go into transportation funding of less uses are exempted and that includes you know not to say the social services might not have cars should we be doing something against meals on wheels that have 22 cars the second point around affordability there was a point given around affordability again, it is clear to us that folks earning less than 50 of area medium income dont drive but folks driving where im at one and 20 percent of area medium income those folks have cars and will be providing the miles so when deals with affordability there has ton science and understanding about the income levels less served and finally it is important for our tenants and clients most of them are pedestrians the way the tdm system has been set up is not prioritized pedestrians over other things one point to pedestrian improvements out of the whole feature the last items might be dealt with in the Program Guideline but important portio see the drafts of draft and otherwise the legislation is saying theres that big issues to be addressed but well wait until later it is important to see that now as it stand the community of Housing Organizations do support this legislation currently written until we work towards those. A quick question in our presentation im not sure you were quoting or your perspective you said something about people where low income levels dont have cars and people with madam clerk, any announcements . Levels have cars. Sure a number of studies were deny done i believe occ has repeating some of the tenants in low income Affordable Housing and car ownership within those buildings and so pointing out the affordable 50 percent of area medium income it is usually about 50 percent or less of car ownership and or. That is based on the report of the report occ not occ 10 years ago. I think this presentation by jeff white if ocii talking about a new project at mission bay there were dealing with this car overflow room issues. Really quick the issue were dealing with you said specifically to mission bay or all of San Francisco in terms of your describing the next inco likely will have a car. Thats based on the surveys not citywide level look at Affordable Housing that is typically. Do you know that Public Housing is part of a say. I dont know, well try to look at that up. Ill definitely appreciate that i dont know that data point but my experienced anecdotal people that live in Public Housing have cars the outer exemplary its from sunnyvale two buck lines go through that two they go through sunnyvale i think about at the top of the hill the 44 and potrero hill a lot of the Public Housing are in the southeast at the top of the hill with the largest Public Housing and sometimes in the conversations that Affordable HousingPublic Housing is not considered. Location. I thought id like ask the Affordable Housing experts to be continued well continue the conversation thank you. Next speaker, please. Speaking of continuance jim reuben of reuben, junius rose im not sure with the supervisors are considering i heard one week we were here last week, we had a week continuance it that result in much in terms of changes or amendments to the ordinance what im hearing is a lot of the comments about the ordinance ill suggesting a week is not enough to accomplish what i think needs to be accomplished i have no doubt but the tdm ordinance will be approved by the Land Use Committee and sent to the board of supervisors i dont see the urgency to have it done in a week so ill urge the supervisors to been a longer than continuance than that thank you. Thank you for your Public Comment. Next speaker, please. Ilene district 4 resident i agree what fernando i think there is too many openended questions i believe those need to be resolved before that is this gets approved ill urge a continuance past when the Planning Commission is going to meet on january 9th please also San Francisco is a first time first not a transit only this is an important distinction another observation never the mta nor the Planning Department have answered a basic question how people live their lives if not this has unintended consequences another that last week the Department Said that was a focused outreach rather than a Community Outreach and why was this done and this has created a echo chamber result there were a number of comments by the staff one statement everybody is watching the city and if the tdm proposal exactly who is watching and what documents are there another approach that is a holistic approach tdm, however, which seem to take into consideration the increased numbers of lyft and uber closing the streets emphasis on the word cars the tdm didnt reflect the fact that the city aggressively pursued to have Driverless Cars in the city again, the emphasis on driver also it is holistic at the last meeting supervisor avalos referred to the tdm during that statement can be interpreted in a number of ways thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon supervisors shawn rb a here to support the continuance before we have weve got a lot more work to do to get this done in one week ive not heard anything about the lack of options for smaller sites i have not heard anyone explain why are were going out into the neighborhood and inspector the 10 to 20 units why are we going to charge them one thousand dollars and hope to learn if were going to charge them the thousand dollars i hope the impact of that fee that will be done proportionately like the burden is heavy and one thousand divided by one units a larger than 20 units i have more example but time is rebe strishthd here why are we promoting a policy probation officer prevents us from having a code compliant project we will not be able to provide code conforming projects if this passes as is why are we ignoring the problems for the Family Housing and enforcing the fact that policy is ignoring the Transit System it is built upon a ratio of unit to Parking Spaces and it ignores our existing infrastructure and to your point if youre on the outside of town not near the center of town you cant tell me that Public Transportation is the same as the middle of town this notion of kicking this voting on it and accounting the details later is not acceptable our only notification of that was when planning interrupted our 3re7b9 meeting with 10 or 15 Mental Illness we voiced our concerns they never got back to us that was the only outreach until after the commission and they thank you message received. Good afternoon john Residential Business ill for the continuation to that item the legislation is not ready yet we were very late getting to this discussion it was approved by the Planning Commission before i guess corey teague got involved and corey weve met himself a fulltime and a lot of the items we need to look at here there is issues with condo associations and so ill ask you continue this and continue this give us enough time to work out this thank you. Thank you anyone wish to comment 4 okay Public Comment is closed at this time. Supervisor peskin any thoughts. Madam chair no, i greatly appreciate the collaboration between the 3 agencies and supervisor avalos office i think that youre getting there but i have to say i dont think youll get there by monday given the diversity and angle array of interests serious negotiations have to ensue i understand that time is of the seekers for our colleagues supervisor avalos but dont want to end up with a job were looking at next year this is supposed to be a flexible area but get off to the best start im happy to continue to work with supervisor avalos after his tenure and staff that will not be far away but it is a little bit unrealistic to think that everybody will buy in and everything about get resolved in the next week so i say that with all the ill condominium to work 0 on it but i dont think well get it done by monday. Meaniy understanding their working i agree we need more time than one week i want to make a proposal supervisor peskin that we continue this item until january 23rd can i have a motion on that. I think that would really given you guys have been working on it and some of the issues might not be resolveable as supervisor avalos spoke about the issue raised in and around the difference between multiple bedrooms and that will require thinking and creativity and as well as 9 comments weve heard from chu chu and h s n and mr. Dulavich i support that and say in all several have supervisor avalos involved in this process it has his name so that was a motion. All right. Well continue this to january 23rd without objection thank you thank you, ladies and gentlemen, get back to work on this item can we call item 5. A resolution urging the city and all agencies to monitor the Development Proposals to insure a comprehensive eir that excludes owl impacts and asking for a Land Use Plan that includes workforce housing. We have the gentleman who is representing supervisor kim that is the project sponsor commissioner kim is requested a continuance and shes here to make that public for the record. Thank you. Im here to ask for your consideration to continue this item theres a scheduling conflict the supervisor concerned about you housing and the comments previously was when the impetus for this resolution very appreciative and director ramos to provide the Land Use Committee and our board with the memo that is excluded in your packet were approved with the conversation that started early this fall has resulted in ongoing conversations about the bay land and the appropriateness of housing i understand housing is still on the table for this project i appreciate your allowing to continue this item to accommodate future scheduling. Thank you take Public Comment on this item you have two minutes thank you. Clay city manager first, i heard a request to talk about that we wrote a letter to you earlier this year and continue to object to the paragraph in the resolution request that be taken over off the table as quickly as possible with regards to the previous comments to the previous speaker ill note that the quest for planning was made for housing by the developer that was always been in the study from the time they made the placates this is nutrition new and here to answer any questions.
