Legislation nebraska item number 6 sect by commissioner avalos can we take that well take that without objection. Well take that without objection. It passes supervisor campos imagine. Supervisor farrell. Thank you supervisor president london breed i want to thank supervisor campos for introducing that amendment weve included from the beginning of the legislation so colleagues last year, we passed a Regulatory Framework that was historic for regulating our shortterm rentals in San Francisco as we all know this is extremely complicated topic every 11 of us has a different point of view on this topic since then our city and departments other officials have and people inside and outside of city hall has continued to look at the legislation its logic ice cream to get the law right i believe that home sharers is here to stay and we should support responsibly home sharers here in San Francisco in fact home sharers and vacation hosts have existed in our city but the practice has garden more attention of the platforms and services on the internet making the practice easier i believe we must support home sharers in a way to protect the Housing Stock and protects the quality of life across all the citys neighborhoods. Given our cities housing shortage and affordability issues we must protect our city from shortterm rentals but have a Regulatory Framework that allows the residents to earn their extra dpk income by sharing their homes everybody is aware of the differences between our legislation and those of supervisor campos to quickly state the main point of our legislation a one 20 day cap and in addition to the cities private right of action for Property Owners within one hundred feet of the shortterm rentals to seek remedies it creates i believe this is the most important the average office of shortterm rental administration and enforcement that provides a single location a onestop shop for members of the public to apply for the regulatory and the city staff to enforce the law again sneesh a onestop shop for registration and enforcement the new offices will have staff to streamline the administration for hosts that enables the Planning Department for the layers focus in weed out books it is also be up and running shortly we add in a recommendation around the ellis act thank you supervisor campos for putting that in his version and proposing to add in two represents that will remove the provision that allows for crossexamination of the administrative review we want to keep this civil and productivity and remove a provision that automatically inquires an administering hearing and allows Planning Department to forego hearings any responsible parties will have the ability to request a hearing in both amendments cut itself bureaucracy and have resources to focus ongoing through the books every one of the amendments and other performs for shortterm rentals law have been recommended by the Planning Commission reforms to take a holistic impact towards our city and addresses the city as a whole rather than scapegoating one company that account for less than one of the shortterm rentals in our city if we are serious about a Regulatory Framework to exist in San Francisco we have to put forward that hosts and incentive intents the following not to mitigate to other platforms to create their shortterm rental websites our amendments insure we streamline the registration process and make the law fully enforceable by key investments i also want to comment that i know theres a plan ballet issue around this topic i have a number of dear friends that are respected and admired gridlock but in terms of putting something on the ballot regarding this piece of legislation on this topic our sharing economy is came forward in eternity a couple of years ago is impacting the way we live our lives whether it is home sharing or car sharing or the next type of economy a great deal combovd were in the top of the first inner as it relates and the problems are going to the ballot and asking voters to weigh if you want to change the law you have to go back to the voters im witnessing were revisiting a law we passed last year already i believe whether it is shortterm rentals and housing or other types of sharing economy as we sunday evening to regulate it as Companies Grow like and wed were going to have to revisit those time after time going to the ballot is the wrong approach now theres been accounts that dive into the impact of the shortterm rentals and i welcome that analysis i want to point out one statistic that is overlooked and is extremely important in the Impact Report the report looked at u. S. Census daylight over 20 percent of units are a steady impact from 2012 to 2013 when the platforms started come to the market rapid increase in rent since 2010 and the this means the impact of the shortterm rentals is unclear and needs to be reexamined further and taking a heaven approach is the wrong approach to this complicated topic no denying the technology has changed the traditions and certain serves as we come to know and understand them i believe that government has and should play a role for the atmosphere whether housing or transportation or labor we as a board address them when they arrive but avoid the requirements that encourage people to work outside of our framework im encouraged with the dictated funding well fined shortterm rentals to streamline the registration process and layers focus on the egregious violators there is no way im encouraged this city shows a wave of the violators theyve sent violation to people with shortterm rentals listing home sharers is here to stay in the city and across the globe that is our r0b89d to reb89 this that protects our Housing Stock and incentive visas the hosts by streamlining the process and clarify the elements of the law to be enforceability the proposal builds on our current law and adds the necessary enforcement tools to pro 86 go after the egregious violators of the law colleagues, i hope to have our support thank you supervisor farrell supervisor yee. Thank you supervisor president london breed you know we cant only predict the changes in the Housing Market and the shortterm rentals impacts on the neighborhoods just three years ago living at the same type of impact therefore i believe we have to take an aggressive approach to pass the laws to regulate and punish the bad actors and according to the board of supervisors budget and Budget Analyst Office approximately hundred plus were taken off the market regardless of the number that was quoted in the chronicle as supervisor campos pointed out it is just good many unit that are taken off the Housing Stock i want to be clear this is not the cost of our house ways, and Means Committee many things contribute but a factor here because of the contra costa crisis were facing and the completely lack of enforcement up to now of the existing laws we need a coherent and strong response first of all, i really want to thank the authors of both of the pieces of legislation were taking a voted on to today i mean there is evidences that an existing law needs tweaking and i believe it will continue to need adjustments as we learn more and more about what works and what dont work as we move forward and im glad it is not just us in this chamber that are concerned about those things people are trying to find Solutions People are trying to find balance and compromises and, in fact seems like some groups outside of this chamber are working harder to compromise more than we do in the chachldz for instance the merging home sharers of i met with and i believe well be meeting with as many supervisors as possible i was listening to some of their suggestions and to me theyre very logical and i wish we had more time to digest their suggestions incorporating the legislation as moving forward but at this point it is rather late and im hoping we look at those suggestions in the future so i dont believe the onesizefitsall approach and the confusion will rezoning the whole city i believe this work for neighbors as well as shortterm rental hosts and therefore much of this i want to offer on amendment from my own district in terms of what people want from a district seeing the opportunity as people see preventive rather than waiting for someone to get a permit and start exclaiming about the neighbors finding out that oh no, this person is going shortterm rental and start complaining so i want to introduce a modest amendment for the 3 hundred feet of neighborhood associations in rh1 and rh2 district for the shortterm hosts applies to the regulatory the application would be on hold for 45 days for people to printed in the record provide resist information the specific requirements laid out in a supervisor chosen ordinance i strongly believe that the proposal issuance and im offering this amendment to item no. 7 supervisor farrells legislation i strongly believe that the proposed ordinance for this modest amendment it will be difficult to enforce but i do believe we should allow the residents and neighborhood in the organized associations to be part of the process that can be radically changing neighborhood 90 in San Francisco thats the amendment id like to make. Thank you supervisor yee before we entertain our amendment i know that supervisor farrell had amendments to his legislation so i want to stack his amendment first supervisor farrell. Thank you supervisor president london breed and colleagues they were distributeed i want to make a motion to. Supervisor farrell made another motion to amend item 7 with a proposed suggestions from the Planning Department that were circulated to the members of the board and seconded by supervisor wiener colleagues well take that without objection. Well take that without objection. Those amendments pass and supervisor yee has made a motion to amend item no. 7 was there a did you circulate any amendments supervisor yee. Yes. It was circulated. Okay. So is there a second for supervisor yees meantime. Seconded by supervisor mar supervisor farrell. Sorry wherever it is appropriate to speak on the amendment id like to although my name is third on the roster. I too want to. Before we take supervisor yees amendment i need to call on supervisor mar at this point. Thank you supervisor president london breed im supportive of supervisor yees amendment i want to thank supervisor campos and commissioner avalos for the legislation i think that critical is critical in that is an effective line of action people are received a letter from a number of attorneys from Steve Collier to jason that emphasiss the right of action the chronicle to the airbnb effect gives example of the need for the private right of action the expediting pieces of legislation the big issues are enforcement enforcement enforcement and i think the paroled by supervisor campos is the much stronger and effective one that will insure that enforcement is effective i also said to see im not gist casual hosts and the use of the airbnb and b rb o efforts for small homeowners additional renters and others what im give this what i see from the housing balance report to other impacts of the unchecked unregulated industry that many fear is creating the hotelization of neighborhoods i understand the philosophy but not about profit marking and in some ways hand in hand of the flipping speculation of the economy that is leading to much of the housing crisis i want to say with the recent analysis from our housing balance report and information about how the city needs to build so much more Affordable Housing and middleincome Housing Housing and work on the rapid loss of affordable and below market rate housing that up or think that issue of shortterm rentals is in this broader concept of the displacement for the building of low Income Housing im supportive of the efforts of share better sf. Org and appreciative of the supervisor campos commissioner avalos measure and in support of that. Thank you supervisor farrell. Thank you supervisor president breed to the maker the motion item 7 if this is passed are you voting in favor of item no. 7 . When i wanted to do im anticipating it may pass and i wanted to strengthen your legislation to be the district 7 i still may not support it. To clarify it your proposing a motion on prevention that i drafted but going to not vote for the underlying legislation. Yes. Okay. So then to be clear on my end i will not be supporting this motion from any prospective i appreciate some of the concerns and met with a number of residents in district 78 but this proposal holding application for another 45 days from my prospective we need to incentivize home sharers to file weve seen details within the Planning Department to get people into the registry the ones complaining not enough people are registered are complaining. Supervisor cohen. Good afternoon supervisor yee a quick question about our proposal youre asking for a 45 day hold is that just a onetime hold for a potential host once they go through the filing application is the application is held for 45 days; is that correct. So the idea here is rather than just allowing people to get a permit without a doubt questions and have issues after the permit ive had people come to me and say look there are a houses across the street from me people coming out of there for years and parties and there is nobody that actually lives there that is the type of information that neighbors can give to city planning when they apply for the permit so only when they apply for the permit were asking for you know to notify the neighbors so they have information we can give it to City Planners take that information take into consideration to not you know give that permit and so it is not for later but right to apply response is yeah, we would love it not to delay but its been three or four months and people havent applied to 45 days more to me is worth the delay to preventive headaches. Is there a hold list of addresses that are kind of holding are in the Holding Pattern for the 45 days to expire will that list be public. In the idea from the neighbor next door applies for a permit then we automatically go in rh1 district and the city planning will give us a notice. Give the neighbors. The way we do you know construction or something to give us notice and we have 45 days to give information that we have if we have none then the person that is applying will get the permit. So this is just a the notification to the neighbors is a one time transaction neighbors will not be notified every time a neighbor has a guest. No only one time and then again really a preventive thing. So what happens im a new host; right . And i have never hosted before applied for my permit the notification goes out and the neighbors prophet on what grounds will they protest other than their fundamental belief they dont want me as a host to be renting my property. To me thats not grounds to give somebody a permit. I see whats the criteria to determine who gets a permit and not. Itch is determined by the city planning oh, the permit to get as much information as they can to figure out whether or not it should be lout or not. When you were thinking of the amendment did you have something in mind some kind of criteria to suggest to the Planning Department as to what would be valid and what you know valid criteria one can evaluate the mrnlts permit. I think the problem is if you start giving one example im trusting that people would be logical and could figure out that the example would be a prudent reason for denying someone a permit. The person that is hosting if they have their permit. No, no im talking about people theyve been doing this for years without permits so over the last two years people in my district people come in some of my neighbors have the shortterm rentals and we had the first piece of legislation passed that assemblyman david chiu offend what im bagging any amendment is on comments experience that ive gotten for the last two years from residents. Thank you. Supervisor christensen. Thank you ive been spending a lot of time talking to the people that live in now district in the last month fear the daytime is a frequent theme the number of people evicted or brought out from their homes in district 3 is an epidemic they feel theyre one notice away from logging their existing home the lack of sufficient housing especially housing affordable to long term tenants and the resulting economic and personal harding park has made us look at all transporting causes and remedies there is then deep concern about the proliferation of shortterm rentals in San Francisco specifically those that remove permanent housing from the market value in particularly that are many including many residents in my district 2005 whos ability to remain in San Francisco is dependent on the home sharers money seniors and sdablgd smument their pensions a mother taking on a expend matt territory leave and congest students on finishing their education it is a difficult balance and im grateful to my predecessor now sxhooumd for the long and torch religious effort to pass the first citys ordinances for the shortterm rentals supervisor campos spoke of it as broken i think i perceive it as more not yet implemented as supervisor farrell mentioned it is a constance half year since this ordinance came into effect we assume that passing legislation automatically waves the magic wound that causes the action but, in fact anyone that started a business knows is it takes a while to establish the processes and put staff in place one of the happiest things for me in the last few months that concrete steps have been taken to create an office of shortterm rentals to fund it adequately to put people in charge of it how to lead those efforts were all ready in this stage beginning to see movement in the right direction i completely semiemphasize with people in the city i have been among them but i sure you many at city hall have been urging our administration to take those steps and grateful for supervisor farrells resolution that would add additional emphasis on that administrative direction it is important at in juncture to look at those were trying to enforce shortterm rentals are not allowed by people who do not live in the unit as their primary residents and shortterm rentals are not allowed by companies, llc youre not allowed to do shortterm rentals on below market rate unit on sro units or buildings with Code Violations supervisor farrell addition of a 5 year limit on shortterm rentals for ellis acted units also is a tool i can use in my district to discourage evicts additional requirements of registration and of adequate insurance make shortterm rentals register sharing the Small Business it is but there are steps that need to be taken and a lot ive struggled with in the existing legislation caps i think have been the most difficult challenge for many the split cap was intended to focus on the greatest fear the loss of full rentable units yet the spilling split e split cap of the presence or nonpresence of the host is not to think proeven and the hard cap that treats full and partial units the same seems your honor fair and not consistent with our intention and net e yet the idea of a hard cap and how great or small t is difficult to get coincidence on ive tried to retain the split cap that is rational and enforceable it is difficult to do that since the introduction of those ordinances but i continue to try to do that reporting is another issue weve focused on a single platform on airbnb and making that entity responsible for reporting but we all need to realize there
