Transcripts For SFGTV BOS Replay Budget Finance Sub-Committee 72215 20240622

3 the report from the executive director. Commissioner ill be brief he have spent a lot of time and continue to extend times on implementation of night life legislation as many of you may know it was signed in the summer and now were rolling out what this means and the work we have to items wagner the Committee Meeting we had on the fifths of the august the Residential Development review committee rdr and so ill wait to be more specific about what took place more cooperation from the Planning Department time it let everyone know that that is a good thing you know theyll be more activity regarding projects in the pipeline ill try to startle the notice to handle the hundred plus projects that are relative in the pipeline but otherwise i can or think that is going fairly well and keep on chugging along thank you for everyone that came to our party with the last meeting was a record one mini that that the venue was great at the those sister and i think all of you were there that was nice so it was wonderful a great attendance and really Cool Pictures on the Facebook Page that my husband took and a few of us as a group which is cool so thank you for that. And thats pretty much all ive got to say reminding the inspectors. Good evening commissioner a lot of complaints to report mostly from the heat wave that passed through forest fires and swank received a complaint their door was open door is supposed to be shut noise coming out and believe it or not the neighbors basically going but we just got the complaint that last week have not had a chance but probably on thursday and see whats going on do keep their door shut similar issue with the lone star the complaint was understanding of the issue but still said to make sure she exclaimed about a month and a half or two months ago we were able to resolve the issue without too much ground work she wants the venue excuse me. Like i have not been talking today, i guess she wanted to let us know to stay on top of that and the venue is not out the experience 4859 Howard Street for a party there the Planning Department has as i said a person to handle the situation were in the loop included on the email im not sure well take action but included in the conversation it was important to mention another unpermitted event generated in regards to a private event after hours like one of the residents that used to be like an industrial building a bunch of People Living there and sometimes the neighbors coordinate the Building Party or whatever so one the neighbors didnt like the noise so at the exclaimed ill go back and check that out it is hard to get eyes someone lives there and has assess to the building should be able to resolve the issue another complaint was generated in regards to city club at this point the directors has been in contact with the lawyer and the action is through the director compliance issue 685 just a random end the night life observation nothing to report nothing tangible to report monroe had a party im not sure if they over booked i was off this weekend. Their sidewalk has a large number of people on it i mean, it was something that you know, i told the director that i was probably going to write a citation but b will talk with them thursday or friday i performed a sound teste double anchor and an inspectors inspector burk keeps track of the fence on sundays he was off i spent an hour and a half to two hours in the venue and the owner i think he walked me through the measures to keep down the sound thats pretty much my report if you have any questions i object to answer. The reason to keep people legal and spend money on permits and have to comply with our conditions thats a lot of work there are probably a do so illegal parties south of market there not only charging admission but having alcohol not a license and done with it is unfair to our permitted night clubs and bars the 1 on Howard Street has been cited one on 11 or 12th street so what do we do do we can to the Code Enforcement and ask them to do something about it i mean, we cant search out every Illegal Party thats not our job so my question what do we do about that. If i may briefly answer obviously the east bay and flows the underground rents we stomach on the police lightwell us know about typically my respond whatever agency is the most appropriate definitely not us to take the lead two inspectors there are not trained to go into place i dont know if theyre safe if they dont have a weapon so a partnership that the sfpd to get on view with them our job is to bring them into experience if so is something that is kwabl cable r capable of being into compliance we use whatever we can i think that the Police Department from a safety prospective is the first place and given information we can go to planning Code Enforcement and need more information typically so we have to help the police do the first attempt at making contact and then as we have more information those two other agencies can do more with respect to a property owner. So the party and the building attached to rent a car is up and running and doing well. Fact. Yes. Thats information we may or may not have. I mentioned. Thats just like a few days multiple conversation . But theres a lot the thing that bugs me the most theyre selling alcohol after hours. Whats his name sergeant, the lieutenant is here you can take talk to him about that. You could come up. laughter . Nice to see. Commissioners good evening affidavit with the San Francisco Police Department i think we can solve this easily we know the Entertainment Commission inspectors were out on weekend if they come upon an Illegal Party and not comfortable making entry call for one the units to respond at least then street tree they interest the coverage i think this is critical the first step to me is unclear why were not citing people that is what justifies the vetting and the credibility of our license venues so the first easy step if they come upon something the good news we work twentyfour hours a day and make entry and make sure that is a safe situation identify the element of the crime and at a minimum we start with our citation process we fought so horde hsa read to get and on top of we can site our sections and above and beyond cite for the alcohol that brings in the allied agrees like the City Attorney and the Code Enforcement and the Planning Department by there is absolutely no problem with us being available it is reasonable and prudent and wouldnt expect our inspectors to walk in blind thats a quick fix and i talk with the director as ongoing communication that is why were here every two weeks to hear what is going on it is amazing what you hear were not aware of if we can get the suggestion approved through the commission to direct the inspectors to go contact us on an illegal event not difficult for the emergency or nonemergency numbers. Just a question to inspector pauley are those noise complainants or hey their charging admission or serving alcohol is it just a big party that is private that is not a public thing. A lot of times it is like a bunch of information you know. Sure. I think in regards to with what lieutenant is saying this is totally what we like to try to side a lot of times we get the complaints after the fact so it is hard to do something about that that is the difficulty for us right now it is after the fact and the next weekends they might watch the hearing. Specifically about the complaints to let them know if they see those parties pop up again, they, call the police not like nonemergency numbers and wait to call you and fourth and dig around. I do know when intooushg and myself we called the southern station they sent a couple of cars i called the station itself and they came out and that stopped that party. Can we have you out every weekend. No. So i think just to go back those are isolated events we miss them but the ones i think we can solve are the reoccurring events were very good at determining thats the first line of defense and it gets easy for us with the questions im sure your inspectors have similar questions thats a private party and how were everyone invited to this events and it is determined out on facebook not a private event a simple analogy were talking a kwegd a hundred dollars a plate you know everyone there when you put it out on facebook and gets forwarded to people it is no longer a private event. And they charge to get in hey are you going this this party what do you think the door price. You can have a for profit event thats a business not a licensed business we dont know if it is zoned and licenses for it. Appreciate commissioners other questions for inspectors pauley and i have within about swaung a resident was upset about the permit so the main issue im imagining the sliding door so if you could say post a sign they were playing it on patrons and opening on days. I think the issue would handed pretty astrologically so at this time maybe they needed a notice of violation i dont think that i should talk to them they knew ahead of time it was an issue. All right. Thank you very much lets move on to intooushg. Good evening, commissioners i had the pleasure this past weekends ever my first ride along with commissioner caminong we took a nice tour of the city a few of the highlights are listed under the inspection part of my noticed we stopped by temple on howard and able to see how longer than lines in the city are managed one thing i wanted to mention is that they are utilizing a working dog theyre calling it i want to bring that up to the commission that is out there that the dog was a harnessed with a lease with the officer guiding it with a flashlight it is quite effective at the sidewalk. Happily and i believe that the dog is more or less a presence combooib combining a Security Officer with a dog with effective in keeping the sidewalks clear. Is this a working dog cute so that people think that whatever. It could be a deterrent for an illegal club that is not what it is there for my conversation with other Security Officers to keep pope people moving along. Is that a professional dog. It looks like it had a professional uniform on laughter that said working dogdoo not pet laughter and as far as i can tell it was very effective ive trained many personnel. It is an insurance nightmare like it could be was it the most important question a beautiful dog. It was goodlooking canine. It was a German Shepherd i thought that was normal behavior what does a working dogdoo. Whats the to your case what is that. So the Security Guard quacks up and down the sidewalk with the dog and people just naturally clear and get out of the way. How interesting with a german shedding better than a 6 foot 7 Security Guard. Im going to check that out. I the get we stopped by a couple of locations on mission and ceda arrests those are both places we were doing a general premise inspectors making sure that the conditions were you being met and any permit at decimal levels any permits that had limits were within range we have a complaint come in a couple of weeks for a tree in chinatown i think bans this complaint what i saw on site ill be doing a little bit more preempt work to make sure that the 2 hundred and 50 foots rule is met pr i think in that particular location it is uphill towards a larger complex overwhelm hoping we can work with the producers so the events are more care on mission singles granted their permit they have yet to do fence the space is coming along nicely as long as they keep the doors closed with neighbors concerns and i think the last thing id like to mention is the new activation with the club with a dj i checked that out with the neighbors who are effective that about wraps up any questions. No questions from the commissioners. All right. Thank you. Now times for Public Comment any Public Comment on the executive director and inspector reports i dont see new Public Comment is closed.

Our last permits application on the agendas is another basic change for ownership this is for a place of entertainment for amnesia on van ness it is a great neighborhoods bar with live music and mission station recommend the attached conditions so line item talk about this the new owner is here craig. Ive never done this before so first, id like to thank, the commission we dont have a live microscopic before and getting through and learning what roobls were appreciative we brought with us the petition for 7 hundred and 18 signatures this is olivia and the handfuls of letters from the Merchants Association so it smells we have supports just a little bit this is my wife i have another business were friends with the previous owner and definitely with lengthened a great guy he went to mexico with his family and pits the word out to people were amongst them that had similar values i think in particular although weve not been with the music but the communities we respect the communities around the mission, around amnesia and a lot of the people in this room have taken us under their wings. Is microphone please. And helped us learn how to keep this thing going so thanks to the o to the communities as well our ideas to continue the live music and rock and roll and do our part to keep valencia street and amnesia a products part of the communities. Commissioner Vice President joseph. Of the 7 hundred and 18 signatures how many from the neighborhoods. Quite a few it was at the you know at the bar i didnt count zip cozy and a lot of bars noted limited to if well have people that move forward to oakland and said to okay. So also youre very prolific on the internet and okay. Im sure the previous owner said the commission wards to keep entertainment live and well in San Francisco. I know your work hard as a residence i know it is a challenging dynamic i moved here in the late 90s so similar things as far as rents increases and all of that as a Small Business owner it is means a lot to have a partner we reality appreciate everybodys efforts. Thank you. It looks like management of a night club is not a night club but obviously a Small Business are you planning on making changes to managements. Weve got to plan so im one of 3 partners one of them is kind of the business ends he actually, we got to know both partners from the city beer stores talking about the communities he has moved to ohio and a partner lee he knew that was going to be a big deal so he took time and traveled for a bit but hell be my help on the music scene he gigs around the town for contacts you know with music communities we promoted one of the bartender to help with the challenges of running until 2 00 a. M. Hes thriving and keeping the same Security Team they know amnesia a place out issues and woven of the head bookers weve promoted to fulltime a track record and understands when amnesia is is doing all the music we have great partners. Im a big fan of amnesia were not concerned of promotion of the club itself but security and neighbor relations can you talk absence about the commission mentioned how many zip codes are neighbors have you reached out in a one block radius. Weve done introductions to the businesses but held a two hour meet and greet yesterdays as well probably 5 to 10 attended but we put ourselves how there are inform a couple of hours the nice thing everybody had questions. Supportive and more concerns the music wouldnt go on this is a the main theme we were not going to messing with that what it is best at. Commissioners other questions or thoughts. What kind of music rock and roll. Amnesia has musk 7 days a week probably bluegrass on mondays and jazz think wednesday a lot of diversity in the music i see that as building on those we last week live music and live bands theres a place for djs theirs their tradition think saturday nights but when the musician see amnesia think about the guitars and drums thats what we will focus on. Are you thinking about adding sound mitigation to the building. Were always open to put a little bit on this but at the same time, we didnt change anything were not planning on adding anything to the existing sound like system we dont anticipate you know having any issues with that. Okay. Thank you. Commissioner lee. Your are you keeping the same head of security im sure. Joe has been around for today he couldnt be here hes also a musician but the idea not seeing any problems seems to be weve got a pretty good thing going. Is he the only one does he have a partner. He manages a team. How many. A team of four or five regulars but. That small place. Usually one person on staff at the door. You think this is enough. It has been and if were going to anticipate any larger well certainly not afraid to extend the money and have a professional people interest and also a place where everybody is safe. Great and then i think you said this it sounds like youve talked with the police and seen their conditions are you okay. No problem with the conditions appreciate their support. Im a huge, huge fan of live music id like to support this so im sure a lot of people are here to say that, too im going to bring up the Police Officer parker and Public Comment and sort of explain how that works so officer parker you want to come up. Good evening pursue hi. Still upset about the video ill get over it so ive met that mr. Watson regarding amnesia he is really excited for him to continue amnesias history amnesia playing loud music that will continue to play there are not venues that continue the live music with jazz one night and rock and roll, etc. It is nice to see it continuing that tradition there are no police concerns as far as amnesia and police call for services off the radar he says hell continue with his Current System of securities, etc. I see no reason to fix anything not broken theyve done a greek good job with the security and the lines inside thank you have any questions i have no concerns whatsoever. Commissioners monopoly. Okay. Thank you. Now time for Public Comment im assuming most people are here for this item were happy to take all your Public Comments in the interest of times im interested to see by a raise of hands are in favor of this permit getting passed all right. And how many opposed all right. That says volumes without saying one word so again like i said our welcome to come up this is youre right to express our gratitude and joy for amnesia or not and just in the interest of times a two minute limit per statement so if you feel like someone said something you want to say you, maybe defer to them anyway, lets go ahead and start i dont know if anyone handed in our speakers well take two right and left and startle between tle and left and startle between te trtle between thele between thee between t between theaggere two. I did not see my hands for opposition not to say anyone didnt want to oppose. You cant yell from our seats. It didnt work that way. So shuffling the deck first person is ryan and the second person is jen anderson and bryan denison. Can you hear me want to say. Can you state your name. Yeah. Im ryan. Sorry. Thats outlook im in favor of it not only a Strong Community around amnesia but a larger Musician Community where they come back to it is important. Thanks. Great, thank you. Jen anderson and bryant and jody. Hello and thank you for the opportunity to comment im jen anderson a inspiring writer and musician i think this is absolutely essential that amnesia continues to operate i think that is one of the rare venues where young and unknown artists in the city can still develop and have a chance to perform for the first it is a place they find a supportive culture and attitude if management ive been a regular for 9 years it is really a contingency hub for all ages all types we have age open mike and on the doors to the earthquake festive ive tenants the benefits from the communities and organizations and individuals and with all the changes going on in San Francisco i think it gets harvard harder and harder for the low income and the artists to do their work and as long as amnesia keeps its doors up there is hope a creative part in the city thanks very much. Ill call that bryan and jody. Hi, im bryan this place has been a very special place to me for a very a long time ill be short this is the heart of music communities in this place and anything that i could do many my power to keep it on ill love to do that thank you. Thank you nice name bay area. calling names . Good evening. Im jody thank you for hearing us today as an artist id like to speak from that prospective a classic violinistic a amnesia is my entire Enterprise Point into traditional music ive been going there for 5 years all the bands are because of amnesia and the music communities i appreciate not only a garnet for people that want to hear music and honestly, i dont know where else well go without amnesia not to mention the fact it is an important part of our income to say a place where live music is appreciated thank you very much. Thank you oh, sorry. Ill be quick. Hi, im elsa thanks. Having us i want to say ive been a regular at the amnesia for 3 years i think this is where i discovered rock and roll most of us its like a living room where we meet the communities and hang out and discover new bands have a good times we celebrate birthdays and were happy to craig is planning think continuing doing the sthapg same thing to you hope it will be okay well all be heart broken. Patrick stevens i dont have any more speakers. Im Patrick Stevens known asterisk stevens a very much supporter of live music as anyone that knows me and amnesia is a blast i go very often most all the place i go because i pretty much go to music every day and during the day i send out promotion to help support the artists and the venues in all the people involved and i just want to say that amnesia is a place i wanted to go more and more it is an sclents choices of the music that many times for instance, the bluegrass on monday is a fun thing where people enjoy that kind of music and tonight is rock with good bans as it so happens i went last night and tonight i want to give my support to the new owner he appreciate what shawn did for the last 12 years i hope that goes that long or longer. Thank you come on up marry anyone else interested. Im hydra i want to make two quick points the first one ive also directly across the street if the bar i personally ran around the petitions to the neighbors in my 48 unit building and neighbors within go blocks and even one of the people that signed that petition who calls the police on everybody oh, amnesia ill support that and the second point i have the privilege of being the bookkeeper for amnesia so ive got the offhand of the musicians employed by this wonderful operation not just hundreds of musing but thousands the livelihoods of people i see you all appreciate it ill keep it short thank you very much. Any is there any additional Public Comment. Hi i just want to say that first, i want to say im tom nice to meet you im thoroughly in in favor of amnesia doing what it is doing its been a nurturing presence in the city that is not obnoxious so the sort of place who someone didnt have a giants draw can book a show and settle in and explore art and build up an audience and be a draw bend of that most it is a, patient slow microscopic sort of place analogy like soul food not about rushing or pressure about community i think were all in favor i wanted to toast it whether or not i can its a wedding or something im glad to have gotten the opportunity thanks.

One thick well consider is there sort of a date or some sort of way to filter through the hundred and 10 in the piecemeal that are at various stages of completion we might treat those difference than a brand new project that hadnt Broken Ground is oh, tilt any more commissioners thoughts or questions Public Comment on this item on the fact we have this committee and met once . Nope all right. Lets move on to item 7 commissioner as far as you can see again as i said in my reports this is a lot this is a great new addition as far as the chapter so they gave us a lot of continuous but in terms of implementation it is a lot a brand new sort pragmatic section we have to begin recycle we began this commission with creating rules and regulations and policies working quickly as we can the intention i had i spoke with the City Attorney today to take that hundred and 10 projects and try to get the Planning Commission to stagger theres a class that ticks according to say notification if i have a hundred and 10 projects triggering that thirty days we will have way too many to hear well try to fidget the best way to get the Planning Department to stager that how far into the pipeline and work backwards but meeting twice a month well schedule the project sponsor does it meet the cc r criteria not all the hundred and 10 will come to the committee based on the rules we so forth and thats only our website if anyone is watching regardless staff will be in charge of that i cant in a month looks at hundred prongs but in any case quietly stager in a thoughtful way in the next couple of months churn through those as we get new ones so, yeah at the committee one of the things the meats is the menu to setting up standard conditions like the Good Neighbor policies relative to what we feel are sort of you know best practices for developers putting up a residence within 3 hundred feats of entertainment that was there for years as it broke out on page 2 at the bottom to bullet points there is communities outreach, things recommended to the sound like study and construction and packs and communication i made some changes based on the committees amendment on august 5th by basically there here for you to consider and id like to be able to move this out of this commission this evening so we can in every single case at least communicate those genetic standards every single a project comes through you know our office because those are things that should be done and in your opinion and the committee and staffs opinion wherever someone puss retains within a certain amount of distance those are excuses that often and you know as well i do dont always mix so this thoughtful work throughout the Development Process and construction and so thats why construction impacts and ongoing communication are also included well get through the review process theyve be giving construction documents to begin to do demolition and construction if it requires demolition or construction if it is parking lots or whatever and a tremendous amount of impact whether they have, materials all over the place so we know this becomes a problem for Ongoing Operations therefore reconstruction needs to be thoughtful and objective when people move in another set of issues if you want to read into the record if you guys have any questions again, the committee reviewed this with changes so look at it request further questions. Unless the Commission Inquires requires it can we put this document into the record if some way. Yes. We certainly can do. Rather than roared well put the documents into the record. Commissioners have you reviewed this and looked it after anecdotally those are the Good Neighbor policy for Good Developers relations policies. Any questions or thing you want to word differently or thoughts about it in general do you think it is good or bad. It is good and it is a working document you guys into go through that and so we, adjust and make changes to it. Thats correct. Its an sclents starting point. Those are kind of the things we hone in on whats your Community Outreach and sound system and i can what are the design things youre doing around having a night life venue. Right how are you progressing our egress and attendance for not to impact them or the night club and stuff like that. Especially the Construction Materials thats a big deal for a lot of fence and venues. This is a standard set well tweak them and do more specific recommendations. Rights. I know the committee as i mentioned im working on the language it maybe something that we add to a specific you know project when the issue of Property Lines came up the issue of abutting Residents Development Residential Development right next to place of entertainment i dont know the word what aim trying to get out department of real estate it is a death toll for place of entertainment so overwhelming to get a kind of perimeter around that and pull it aside obviously not relating but built for a place of entertainment we should definitely add to this and or add. Can we say anytime a foundation is locked should be a requirement that materials are used or still suggestion recommendation. Those are recommendation not never not be a recommendation i think we worded it as strongly as possible they never do that. Thank you for assessing that exactly foundations should not be locked i dont care if they puts two inches is two foundations are you know of one case it was a Property Line mistake by a prior owner the venue and the other case that was the contractor that built the Residential Property that went over and decided to do that because they were sloppy and didnt care now the foundation with a giant building what do you do not exactly take the foundation the building goes to the ends of the foundation they should never lock ever. The question why do people do it for earthquake or. That was on for houses on stilts. Why lock it into my foundation. I dont think i can answer the question the Real Estate Department will help me but the point the operator of a place of entertainment didnt own the property. Correct. So we have to do something to sort of you know change the dynamic so it is a place of entertainment is aware and the developer is warrior aware someone you have to get permission to do that between two properties and again, it didnt make into the proper language more relevant in the two are distant from one another. The dbi requires any new remodeling to get permission from the owner of the building so maybe we can. Were talking about residential to the entertainment. Make sure theyre not locking into the foundation. Not remodeling. Yeah. I everyday i learner something new everyday im becoming a better designer so, yeah this is not the ends all but a place to starts the projects are very, very all the way through the pipeline we have a tiny bit of room to get in some of the concepts so i need to have something come if you guys. Are you done now girls and about his and commissioner frost we know what we know chief executive officer. Thats exactly right we dont know what we dont know. We know something you have on paper so can we make that the starting point it doesnt seem like any further commissioners questions or comments any Public Comment on this issue.

Homeless in San Francisco is a challenging issue that effects owner in the city in many different was as of the 2014 Homeless Census over 64 homeless in individual in the city to try to address the issue weve got a program for chronic homeless welcome to the Navigation Center. This Pilot Project is for People Living on the street what makes it different the Navigation Center is able to accommodate homeless encampments lowell u allowing people to keep their pets and bring their personal bloonlz. The full realization that people dont want to be homeless not refuse services but from the services dont meet them and not relevant theyre not going to be successful if you look at the budget losses weve got a community sacrifice important people to get food and laundry were standing next to the bathrooms it is designed to be a dynamic and brief residential experience where right of on this site city staff to connect you to homeless places to return to family dine is up for medical and all those things that are complicated for people. The other exciting thing city agencies come on site and provided the services for folks this is existed to see when the goal of streamlining a a whole processes of getting people on go gentle assistance into housing as much as possible. Way totally different you can come and agree as please and get Laundry Services and showers any time of the day and night its twentyfour hours a day whatever and twhefr its not like any other she recalls. They come and help people for what it is theyre required the issues they need and reach out and do what we can to say okay how can we accommodate you to get you set up and straight never in my mind imagined a program like this this place it different and a a lot a lot that better it works. The navigation is center is a collaboration of partnerships too city departments one is the Homeless Outreach team managed by the San Francisco distributing i look forward to the Navigation Center well have our agents go out and help and say dont go anymore over and over send our dayshift out theyve meet the population and hang out and hang in the encampment and transport people and be with them and make immediate impacts with me and my staff. Bringing our wloongz whatever you go presents a problem this place their help with the storage i dont have to worry about it staying here you know youre getting things done they need to get things down done to get off the street avenue of the hope alsoness is gone. They help you if youre hungry go eat if e you need to go places go. Theyre 4th district it awe auto. It was funded through a unanimous donation and of may 2015 an additional 3 million to help to continue the Program Beyond 18 months. You see people coming out theyre ready to being so the future homes you know how variable the Navigation Center is my message for the constituents yes something can be done do break chronic homelessness it is being done. This is a community that sets an example but i how to pick an area that was funky theyve seen were trying to do is help their neighbors theyve seen getting sicker and more frail and broken down on the streets and welcomed us thats a powerful Statement People are exist and president in theyre becoming to see the movement for folks and people on the streets are only survival modes where is there next meal and their itch more carefree. The staff here is interpretation the first day i have a appointment and everything was made all you do is go through them this makes a huge difference. To get settled in a helping hand, to get on my feet, take care of the issues i have and get out of bed and help. Even though the Navigation Center has been up in march 2014 the program is creating successful outreach for its clients. A month ago they came to me and asked me to go into a new program i moved into here and now 3 months later i have my own place it is mine i lock my door dont worry about my stuff it feels human again hi. I am cory with San Francisco and were doing stay safe and were going to talk about what shelter in place or safe enough to stay in your home means. Were here at the urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco and joined by carla, the Deputy Director of spur and one of the persons who pushed this shelter in place and safe enough to stay concept and we want to talk about what it means and why its important to San Francisco. As you know the bay area as 63 chance of having a major earthquake and its serious and going to impact a lot of people and particularly people in San Francisco because we live on a major fault so what does this mean for us . Part of what it means is that potentially 25 of San Franciscos building stock will be uninhibit tabl and people cant stay in their homes after an earthquake. They may have to go to shelters or leave entirely and we dont want that to happen. We want a building stock to encourage them to stay in the homes and encourage them to stay and not relocate to other locations and shelters. Thats right so that means the Housing Needs to be safe enough to stay and we have been focused in trying to define what that means and you as a former Building Official knows better than anybody the code says if an earthquake happens it wont kill you but doesnt necessarily say that can you stay in your home and we set out to define what that might mean and you know because you built this house were in now and this shows what its like to be in a place safe enough to stay. Its not going to be perfect. There maybe cracks in the walls and not have gas or electricity within a while but can you essentially camp out within your unit. Whats it going to take to get the Housing Stock up to this standard . We spent time talking about this and one of the building types we talk about was soft story buildings and the ground floor is vulnerable because there are openings for garages or windows and during the earthquake we saw in the marina they went right over and those are very vulnerable buildings. Very and there are a lot of apartment buildings in san that that are like that. And time to. Retrofit the buildings so people can stay in them after the earthquake. What do they need . Do they need information . Do they need incentives . Mandates . Thats a good question. I think it starts with information. People think that New Buildings are earthquake proof and dont understand the performance the building will have so we want a transparent of letting people know is my building going to be safe in it after an earthquake . Is my building so dangers i should be afraid of being injured . So developing a ranking system for buildings would be very important and i think for some of the larger apartment buildings that are soft story we need a mandatory program to fix the buildings, not over night and not without financial help or incentive, but a phased program over time that is reasonable so we can fix those buildings, and for the smaller soft story buildings and especially in San Francisco and the houses over garages we need information and incentives and coaxing the people along and each of the owners want their house to be safe enough. We want the system and not just mandate everybody. Thats right. I hear about people talking about this concept of resiliency. As youre fixing your knowledge youre adding to the city wide resiliency. What does that mean . Thats a great question. What spur has done is look at that in terms of recovery and in new orleans with katrina and lost many of the people, hasnt recovered the building stock. Its not a good situation. I think we can agree and in san we want to rebuild well and quickly after a major disaster so we have defined what that means for our life lines. How do we need the gasolines to perform and water perform after an earthquake and the building stock as well, so we have the goal of 95 of our homes to be ready for shelter in place after a major earthquake, and that way people can stay within the city. We dont lose our work force. We dont lose the people that make San Francisco so special. We keep everybody here and that allow us to recover our economy, and everything because its so interdependent. So that is a difficult goal but i think we can achieve it over the long time so thank you very much for hosting us and hosting this great exhibit, and pxank you very much for joining hello, my name is jamie harper.

Madam director. Thank you madam secretary. Good afternoon to the commission and good afternoon to the members of the public. Commissioners this item was continued from a previous meeting. As knroi among the Many Community benefits under the Hunters Point ship yard candle stick agreement is provide for new artist replacement facilities and xhilsh kitchen and this particular item before you is required under relocation law, there is a notice and plan you consider and approve. You have seen the scumatic dw d zine frafr both facilities. New artist replacement and the kitsch squn this is in furtherance of the previous action now that construction is under way at least under one component. With that i would like to ask [inaudible] assistant projoket manager to give background and walk you through the proposed item for your consideration. Thank you. Good afternoon president rosales and members. The item today is request to approve the Hunters Point shipyard [inaudible] released junethry, 2015 and also to approve the studio assignment process for relacement studio building. [inaudible] providing a overview and background [inaudible] details about the elements of the relocation plan z related rolocation obligation and also have chad [inaudible] here today to answer the questions. He is with the firm that is advising. Next i will ask marty mickee, she is the president for Ship Yard Trust for the arts to provide information. I want to point out that in the audience today are michael [inaudible] who can provide details around construction and timing of Building Activities on the shipyard and they sit in the third row. Ill start with general context. As knroi the shipyard is developed in 2 phases by lunar and includes lands on Hunters Point and candle stick [inaudible] this position of Development Agreement [inaudible] for the project for executed in 2003 for phase 1 and in 2010 for phase 2. The first phase of Development Underway on parcel a is mostly residential but other phases will includeophorous and retail. Also for the shipyard is a vibrant Arts District geographical center. The location is anchored by building 101 which is a existing building with 150 Artist Studios and new art est studio buildings and commercial kitchen will be developed in close proximity and will be part of the shipyard Arts District or arts complex. The general location you can see on the slide pretty much in the center of the shipyard and New Buildings are circleed on the map. The vision for the shipyard art district is a extension of the present Artist Community of nearly 300 artist there today. On this illustration you see the 7 buildings that artist are in. Approximately half of the artist in building 101 which is the building that is retained and the other half of the artist are in several buildings on partial b which is sth next partial of development. All existing buildings [inaudible] to make room for future housing and the artist with studio space will be accommodated to be constructed new Artist Studio building next to building 101. On thislide you can see the location of the future artist building next to the existing building 101. If you look that existing conditions of the site you see the new artist building will be relocated where building 110 currently is and therefore it requires the [inaudible] building 110 has several stud wroe spaces in the past but all the artist have been accommodated in vacant buildsings and others until the replacement studios are ready. The only remaining building is [inaudible] commercial kipen operator on the shipyard for many many year jz whos client base include 60 Small Businesses who use their facility to prepare their products. [inaudible] is treated as part of the Artist Community for location purposes and will be in the replacement kitchen located at the other end of building 101felt also replacement facilities are constructed by lunar in fulfillment of phase 2 [inaudible] requires all artist and [inaudible] all shipyard tenant be rolocated on site and not require today leave the shipyard. The dda also requires that relocation efforts allow for a smooth transition for the artist specifically allowing as many artist as possible to remain in their studios until the new artist building is available so allowing them to move directly. In the event that interim facilities are required the dda suggested [inaudible] current approach to rolocating is in full compliance. All artist in 104, [inaudible] without any interim accommodation squz all the building 110 artist have been temporarily accommodated, most in building 101 but retain the right tooz move into the new artist building. Also the commercial kipen is relocated in their separate relacement kitchen so we are in full compliance of all the requirements that were outlined in the dda. In addition to the great benefits that are provided by lunar, there are certain legal requirements that apply to relocation that occur as a result of projects that receive public funding as is the case. For the shipyard relocation, we have 2 legal frameworks, one is dda is the other is the federal uniform location [inaudible] ill refer to both of these laws collectively as relocation law. Relocation law calls out Certain Services [inaudible] also includes other notices such as notice of eligibility, notice to vacate, they are all required under rolocation law to make sure tenants effected by rolocation are kept informed. Rolocation law also calls out Advisory Services and moving expenses and appeals process through which the agreements can be addressed. All of this has been addressed in the relocation plan. Relocation planning started several years ago when we hired [inaudible] opc started with a survey of the existing facilities to inform linars [inaudible] started designing the buildings and [inaudible] with extensive input from the Artist Community and the scumatic design if the kitchen were approved in 2014 and the replacement Artist Studio were approved in may of 2014. At the time oof the design approval we informed the commission that a handful of artist may experience Financial Difficulties transitioning from the old space to the new space because of rent increase and [inaudible] to date [inaudible] raised 10 thousand dollars for the artist fund. There will be potential additional benefit frz some of these artist if they qualify as a sknz ill talk to that in more detail. There were u78 numerous check ins with the artist. H mostly in the form of artist meetings or workshops at the shipyard. [inaudible] also have regular check ins with [inaudible] the next step in the chain of relocation is the release of the draft relocation plan. [inaudible] june 2 to announce the june 3 plan release. [inaudible] 30 day Public Comment period in accordance with relocation law and in order to make it easiest for the artist to get answers for the questions [inaudible] june 11 at the shipyard where opc answered all the questions the artist had. Those questions as well as additional questions received in writing by the july 3 deadline are included in the final version of the relocation plan you have before you today and those questions and answers are included in attachment 5. I want to highlight the most important elementoffs the relocation plan. For example the plan establishes eligibility date for relocation assistance. The agreement would be june 2010 which is within the dda was executed but because there was turn over befween then and the relacement studio design that fs customize frd the artist at the shipyard at that point recollect oci extended the date to may 20, 20s 14 which is the date the replacement studio Building Design was approved. The relocation plan points out the [inaudible] begins with receiving notice of eligibility. [inaudible] artist who leave voluntarily not connected to the future relocation or development on the shipyard prior to receiving a notice of eligibility are giving up their space and relatement studio build{they are informed by the landlord before they move out. The relocation plan outlines [inaudible] which includes being available to answer questions, distributed information [inaudible] relfs to offset replacement spaces which is only needed if a artist decides to move off site. In that case they will still be eligible for relocation benefits to move into another studio, not the relacement building t is the artist choice to do that. As part of the Advisory Service the relocation consultant will be planning the actual move logistics. The relocation plan describes benefits that are available for artist and for the commercial kitchen [inaudible] oci will hire movers and will move the artist positions from the current build toog the new. If artist take advantage of that they will not incur out of pocket expenses. They have the choice to either conduct a self move or hire their own mover or specially mover in which case they go through the regular relocation benefits process which means submitted reimbursement. Businesses are eligible for additional benefits which are required to reestablish [inaudible] the expenses in the reestablishment category can total up to 25 thousand dollars and include increased rent cost for up to 2 years. So, as i mentioned before there are a hand full of artist who may experience financial heartship moving from the currents to the new space and some of them will qualify as businesses. If that is the case then the first 2 years of expenses or increased rent expenses will be covered through the relowication budge squt the funds that [inaudible] will kick in after year 2. In order to qualify as a business certain documents need to be provided including a business license and tax returns that show the business contributes to the income of the business, owner and opc will collect all this information to inform us which artist will qualify as a business and receive additional benefits. In addition to our request that the xhilsh approve the plan recollect we request approval of the process used to assign studios. The process is facilitated by star [inaudible] ill ask marty mu key who is kars president to speak to that process. Good afternoon commissioners. Marty mu key for shipyard trust to the arts. Just one correction rsh we have 15 thousand in our artist [inaudible] for had first year we have 2 year tooz fund raise covering the first year of the move for the artist at the new rent jaet the fund now is at 15 thousand dollars. The studio reassignment frauz, shipyard trust to the arts is operating as subcontractor to opc and wree pleased that we were brought into incorporated into this part thorf process because it is a place the artist have a say in their future. They are losing studios and paying more rent but at least they get they are losing their studios and paying more rent but at least they get a chance to paraticipate in where they end up in the new build{to many artist that is a big deal. So, basically there is 140 artist moving into 130 studios. Beyond the question of a doubt it is like herding cats to get this accomplished. We tried to design something simple and straight forward. The mechanism is the studio sizes are broken into Cluster Groups. For example, if you want a studio of 250 square feet you would fall into a group of other artist who want a similar studio and your group has a range of say 230260 and that is the Cluster Group. There are approximately 12 Cluster Group of the 140 artist and there are some excluded because of specially activities that we are doing so lets say there are 12 Cluster Groups of 120 artist, and what we are planning to do is bring those artist that we set up meetings and bring the artist together and showing them the model that lunar built of the new artist building and also we have documentation from ibi who is lunars architect so artist can look at the plan jz the model to tell exactly what studios are available in their group and then well let them sit down and talk to each other. If they can determine among themselves who wants what studio, then they pick their studio, if everyone agrees they sign a document and at the end of the day they get a studio they want. We hope they can reach a consensus. If they cant well use their siniority date and start oldest to newest and oldest picks first thmpt only alternative is have ocii say you are going in this space and you are going in this space. I feel this process gives some pow er to the artist, so that is it in a nut shell. It is very straight forward. For the Group Meetings we require 75 percent of the artist in the cluster are present fl the meeting. The issue was brought to the artist and voted by the artist, it wasnt a mandate set by star. We asked do you want the whole cluster to be there or are you willing to have 75 percent. We are willing to have aortartist represent them if they cant be there. We feel we have done everything we can to bring them into the process so they can choose and hope it goes by consensus. That is it in a nut shell. Questions . Thank you marty for describing the process. The first tenants to move is the nob [inaudible]. They will be relocated into the replacement kitchen as soon as the building is constructed. Most of the Kitchen Equipment will be new to allow for a transition with minimal business interruption. We recognize the number of Small Businesses that rely on [inaudible] will be impacted and we are working hard to insure any description will be as short as possible. Ocii lunar and [inaudible] has also commenced lease negotiations [inaudible] to insure [inaudible] continued success at the shipyard.

Dwoo ehave any speaker cards . I do have one speaker card, mr. Scott madison. Yes, to the secretary. Good afternoon commissioners president loro rosales [inaudible] Scott Madison from [inaudible] here to say we support the adoption of relocation plan for the artist and eccollectic cookery. We cumind lunar team for involving and respond toog the design process over several years. Lunar [inaudible] seemless transfrigz us and our customers is greatly appreciated. The cookly opened in building 110 in 1984. We are the olds est largest food [inaudible] hundreds of businesses have begin in our facilities but we do not provide formal Technical Support but devote a great deal of time to prospect squz clients. [inaudible] running our own and make relfs to service providesers. We aim to retain clineants and help them succeed. Our pricing can be lower than lakachina. For customers with good prospects who have hit a rough patch we offer payment plans. We sometimes cancel debts. [inaudible] we look forward to having a beautiful new facilities but worried such good fortune may be the end of us. Our future and that of the clients are dependent on lease terms. [inaudible] as as is well known current shipyard rent is reasonable. We expect the rent to increase substantially. We do not now pay rent on common areas in 110. On the new kitchen we will pay ren on the entire building. We dont pay property taxes and [inaudible] maintenance is the landlereds responsibility. We may become responsible for that. The new facility is smaller than present. We worry paying higher rent for square foot adding taxes, insurance and 100 percent of maintenance with reduced income generating space will jeopardize our business. Our client operate on tight margins and the fees are effected by our rent. With so few businesses like [inaudible] most client price [inaudible] also operating on tight margins losing client could kill our business. [inaudible] provides a unique service and industry with minimal barriers other than finding a place to work. We ask for the commissions support for lease terms that allow [inaudible] in San Francisco. Thank you. What i handed out is information about the cookery operation and services for our clients and so on next i have marty mickey. Thank you. Marty mickey wither shatyard trust to the arts. I want to address 2 different issues than the studio relocation. First of all, i want to thank ocii management and staff and the staffer that is no longer here for including the artist in this process in a significant way. It has made a big 2ci6erance in a transition that the artist are lucky they are not losing their space, it is great rent but it is a change and more rent and inclusion of the artist has made it go much smootherment we hope as the Management Agreement gets under discussion we will be very much a part of that as we intend to submit a proposal with the founders. Secondly, the shipyard trust to had arts supports the cookery as part of the entire arts shipyard arts complex. We understand it is different business model, but the artist are receiving rents base ond the cost of sustaining the building, many of those artist are businesses and some are hobbyist or whatever, but Scott Madisons business, the only reason we are here today is because Scott Madison started shipyard trust to had arts many years ago as a advaes organization to save Small Business squz artist. The artist will be okay. Between subsidies we a able to rent and the fact is t is below market rent i think the artist will make it but want to make sure scott is a part of the community and make sure his business continues on and the clientele they serve that is so important. Thank you. Thank you. Caryn slater. Caryn slatejure also on the star board. I had a studio at the shipyard since i think 1997 and i have been following and involved in the reDevelopment Process for more than 10 years. I want to recognize the exceptional actions that have come about to preserve the affordable studio space for artist at the shipyard. It is extraordinary thing the city of San Francisco Redevelopment Agency has done for the long term cultural and economic benefit of San Francisco really. A lot of that is
