Fantastic signature buildings. The community was concerned about traffic and congestion and impacts on quality of life. By marrying their values and a smart g. D. M. Strategy to whatever Development Proposal we get and putting it up very up front and transparent, we would eliminate a lot of the uncomfortable guesswork and get to serious players coming up and talking to us. Also, would it be something that say, it wouldnt intimidate the giants. It wouldnt intimidate the warriors or Fishermans Warf, something the public could go, i can get behind Something Like this. Or im just throwing it out a scenario, right, if she was something that say similar to Fishermans Warf would they feel theres a competition there or where its funny, sometimes were competitors too. Warriors example is great. What works so well with the project at mission bay was they lifted then tier community. Were now talking about the mission bay ferry landing. Its something that will help mission bay residents and even dog patch residents are excited about that. If you look at the r. F. P. Processing and the goals that were articulating, a great project would lift the whole community up and the giants and warriors who are part of this community would say yes, these are the kinds of things that would help us with our fan base, with making our location more exciting. I think theres a winwin out there so you have to view them as members of the community thank you, appreciate it. Peter, thank you so much for this presentation and thank you so much for simplifying the staff report with our changes and recommendations. I think that theres going to be a lot of interest in this r. F. P. And i am looking forward to see who responds. I do hope that we can keep 3032 and the seawall together because i think that we may just lose 3032 if we dont take advantage of the opportunity now. So i really do hope that whoever responds, responds to the vote. Im excited and looking forward to seeing what the responses are and i thank you and everyone else for all the wonderful work youve done and youve been here five times this year on this [laughter] we dont have a lot of questions left. [laughter] thank you so much. Its been a pleasure. All in favor. Aye any opposed. Resolution 1948 has been approved. Clerk item 14a is authorization to file with the California Building Standards Commission the ports amendments to the 2019 California Building standards code and the local findings of support such modifications. Repeal the current 2016 port of San Francisco building standards code which includes the 2016 port of San Francisco Building Code or building existing building mechanical electrical plumbing and grown building standards codes effective midnight december 31st, 2019 and three, adopt the 2019 port of San Francisco building standards code which includes the 2019 port of San Francisco building existing building mechanical electrical plumbing and grown building standards codes with an Effective Date of january 1st, 2020. This is resolution number 1949. Good evening president brandon, Vice President adams. Commissioners and executive director forbes. My name is Neil Freedman im the chief building inspector for the port. Im here to ask you for your approval of the 2019 port Building Code i presented as an informational item at the november 12th, 2019 Board Commission meeting. Since that time, we have completed our revision and posted the draft port code on the ports website and i hope youve had an opportunity to look at it. We also created a public notification in the San Francisco examiner for comment on the code for a twoweek period ending december 6th. We did not receive comments on the revisions. Were assuming were good to go. With your approval of the 2019 port code port staff will send what are determined local findings to the state building Standards Commission. Local findings are justifications of variances to the California Building code. Following acceptance of these findings by the state, port code will be implemented beginning on january 1st, 2020. At my last appearance, i noted that among others, there were pending changes in the areas of green energy, structural provisions in the existing Building Code and permit fees. Following is a brief presentation on those changes. First, the ports Green Building standards now encouragen sen ta vice the correction of new all electric residential and non residential buildings. This is part of an effort to eliminate the use of natural gases of fuel source while encouraging the use of an ever growing supply of electricallen gee from sources such as solar and wind. A provision is also been added to the add stray tive portion of the Green Building standards that a louse the chief harbor engineer to grant waivers from these stan standards. Second, the port will follow the guidelines of the 2019 california existing Building Code and no longer requires a fullseismic upgrades of buildings based on an increase in occupant load. And you can imagine what the impact of this will be for development of the port. The previous port code followed the more restrictive standard that was part of the San Francisco Building Code created by the department of Building Inspections. Under that standard, an occupant load increase of 10 for the entire structure that also resulted in an increase of more than 100 occupants for that structure would have triggered a seismic upgrade. To follow state standards, this occupant load increase would no longer require seismic upgrades. A second part to this that remains in the state code, requires a seismic upgrade if an occupancy is introduced in the structure that would trigger an increase to a higher risk categories. And the risk categories are on the screen right now. There are four of them starting with very low hazard to human life and ending in essential facilities such as fire and police stations and water facilities and power stations. Most if not all of the sheds and bulk heads fall into risk category 2, which is considered not very hazardous to human life. Its because the occupant load is relatively low and theres no essential facility that impacts other facilities such as fire. Changing piers and bulkheads to offices with increases occupant loads, would no longer move the structures into a higher risk category and would normally be a trying are for seismic upgrade. Theres one exception to that and thats if we allowed an Assembly Occupancy with more than 300 persons on a pier that would trigger an increase in the risk category from a two to a three. We dont anticipate that happening. Currently, there are special events that have more occupants than that but theyre very short term and theyre monitored usually by the Fire Department for exiting purposes, finally, the 2019 port code will increase Building Permit fees. This slide is a little bit difficult to read. I couldnt fit it all in. Without packing it. For the last, approximately 12 years, the port has not had an increase in building fees. And this is an effort to partially match what the San Francisco Department Building inspection uses. They had a fee study done in 2015 i believe and rationalized their fees and i think it would be safe to assume we can follow them at this point. As not example, i put up here, a 50,000 permit evaluation would actually result in a slight decrease in fees but would then be made up for by a plan review fee that would increase. And so, we would end up for 50,000 project an increase of 500. Our hourly plan review fee will also increase from 80 to 173. And our hourly inspection fee will go from 80 to 158. In summary, with your approval, we will adopt a 2019 port Building Code and repeal the 2016 port code and the Effective Date will be january 1st, 2020. Thank you and let me know if you are any questions thank you. So moved. Second. All in favor i have a question. Is there any Public Comment on this item . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. Walk me through net result of some of the Energy Efficiency agreements were making here. Does it preclude gas from cooking . It will not preclude it, no. What were doing is incentivizing use of Electrical Energy and i think the pre conclusion of gas is down the road somewhere but not right now. This wont effect all of our restaurants and all or new restaurants because one of them state codes is pulling out of gas i would like us to get back to you on that question because while neil is correct what he is proposing here would not preclude natural gas from cook tops there is an ordinance in front of the board of supervisors relative to natural gas and to electrification and it raz reached a Municipal Building so lets do some Due Diligence and see if theres other reasons why natural gas may be precluded in the future. Im going to support item. If the net result effects using gas for restaurants and stuff in our operations and i will ask or director to bring the item to address that separately this item doesnt impact natural its not impacting natural gas and prohibiting it. That would also trigger a change in the code and at that point we would have to come back to you to create a new finding that we would send to the state energy code board. Great. Thank you. Thank you so much many of i have no questions. I have no questions. All in favor. Aye awe for the report all in favor. Aye. Resolutions 1949 has been approved. Item 15 new business. I have several items under new business. First, i am going to invite the new m. T. A. Director to come to the port and share his vision for transportation on the waterfront. I think thats an excellent idea. We are going to report back to you on outreach to Diverse Communities regarding pier 39, 39th anniversary. We will be reviewing delegated authority as it related to the fee waiver that probably will look at delegated authority and come back to you with recommendations for modernization to current delegations to me and then we also have an item for pasaa to return to talk about some of the strategies in producing more value add work and auto process and looking more specifically at the labor agreement, and outreach overtime and we will be providing you information about city legislation as it relates to natural gas. Is there anymore new business . I was hoping we can update on the photography studio. Its been about 60 dies since the last conversation yes its not new business and i apologize president brandon if its out of order but i was hoping we can close todays meeting on thursdays anniversary we lost mayor lee and i hoped we can close this meeting in his honor. He put us forward to be commissions and not able to see that process through. I thought it would be a lovely way to honor him and his family. Is there any other new business . Is there any Public Comment on new business . Seeing none. Would you like to motion to adjourn . I make a motion to adjourn in the honor of mayor edwin lee second. All in favor. Aye. Meeting is adjourned. San francisco is surrounded on three sides by water, the fire boat station is intergal to maritime rescue and preparedness, not only for San Francisco, but for all of the bay area. [sirens] fire station 35 was built in 1915. So it is over 100 years old. And helped it, were going to build fire boat station 35. So the finished Capital Planning committee, i think about three years ago, issued a guidance that all city facilities must exist on Sea Level Rise. The station 35, Construction Cost is approximately 30 million. And the schedule was complicated because of what you call a float. It is being fabricated in china, and will be brought to treasure island, where the building site efficient will be constructed on top of it, and then brought to pier 22 and a half for installation. Were looking at late 2020 for final completion of the fire boat float. The historic firehouse will remain on the embarcadero, and we will still respond out of the historic firehouse with our fire engine, and respond to medical calls and other incidences in the district. This totally has to incorporate between three to six feet of Sea Level Rise over the next 100 years. Thats what the citys guidance is requiring. It is built on the float, that can move up and down as the water level rises, and sits on four fixed guide piles. So if the seas go up, it can move up and down with that. It does have a full range of travel, from low tide to high tide of about 16 feet. So that allows for current tidal movements and sea lisle rises in the coming decades. The fire boat station float will also incorporate a ramp for ambulance deployment and access. The access ramp is rigidly connected to the land side, with more of a pivot or hinge connection, and then it is sliding over the top of the float. In that way the ramp can flex up and down like a hinge, and also allow for a slight few inches of lateral motion of the float. Both the access ramps, which there is two, and the utilitys only flexible connection connecting from the float to the back of the building. So electrical power, water, sewage, it all has flexible connection to the boat. High boat station number 35 will provide mooring for three fire boats and one rescue boat. Currently were staffed with Seven Members per day, but the Fire Department would like to establish a new dedicated marine unit that would be able to respond to multiple incidences. Looking into the future, we have not only at t park, where we have a lot of kayakers, but we have a lot of developments in the southeast side, including the stadium, and we want to have the ability to respond to any marine or maritime incident along these new developments. There are very few designs for people sleeping on the water. Were looking at cruiseships, which are larger structures, several times the size of harbor station 35, but theyre the only good reference point. We look to the cruiseship industry who has kind of an index for how much acceleration they were accommodate. It is very unique. I dont know that any other fire station built on the water is in the united states. The fire boat is a regionalesset tharegional assete used for water rescue, but we also do environmental cleanup. We have special rigging that we carry that will contain oil spills until an environmental unit can come out. This is a job for us, but it is also a way of life and a lifestyle. Were proud to serve our community. And were willing to help people in any way we can. Hi, i doing a special series about staying safe. Lets look at issues of water and sewer. We are here at the San Francisco urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco and im joined today by marrielen from puc and talk about water and sewer issues. What are things we should be concerned about water. You want to be prepared for that scenario and the recommendation is to have stored 1 gallon per person per day that you are out of water. We recommend that you have at least 35 days for each person and also keep in consideration storage needs for your pets and think about the size of your pets and how much water they consume. The storage which is using tap water which you are going to encourage. Right. Of course at the puc we recommend that you store our wonderful delicious tap water. Its free. It comes out of the tap and you can store it in any plastic container, a clean plastic container for up to 6 months. So find a container, fill it with water and label it and rotate it out. I use it to water my garden. Of course everyone has plastic bottles which we are not really promoting but it is a common way to store it. Yes. Its an easy way to pick up bottles to store it. Just make sure you check the label. This one says june 2013. So convenient you have an end date on it. And there are other places where people have water stored in their houses. Sure. If you have a water heater or access to the water heater to your house, you can drink that water and you can also drink the water that the in the tank of your toilet. ; not the bowl but in your tank. In any case if you are not totally sure about the age of your water or if you are not sure about it being totally clean, you can treat your water at home. There is two ways that you can treat your water at home and one is to use basic household bleach. The recommendation is 8 drops of bleach for ever gallon of water. You add 8 drops of bleach into the water and it needs to sit for 30 minutes. The other option is to boil water. You need to boil water for 510 minutes. After an earthquake that may not be an option as gas maybe turned off and we may not have power. The other thing is that puc will provide information as quickly as possible about recommendations about whether the water is okay to drink or need to treat it. We have a number of twice get information from the puc through twitter and facebook and our website sf water. Org. People should not drink water from pools or spas. But they could use it to flush their toilets if their source are not broken. Lets look at those issues. Sanitation is another issue and something people dont usually or like to think about it but its the reality. Very likely that without water you cant flush and the sewer system can be impeded or affected during an earthquake. You need to think about sanitation. The options are simple. We recommend a set up if you are able to stay in your building or house to make sure that you have heavy duty trash bags available. You can set this up within your existing toilet bowl and once its used. You take a little bit of our bleach. We talked about it earlier from the water. You seal the bag completely. You make sure you mark the bag as human waste and set it aside and wait for instruction about how to dispose of it. Be very aware of cleanliness and make sure you have wipes so folks are able to wash up when dealing with the sanitation issue. Thank you so much, my name tom hewitt. First of all, i would like to welcome everyone to come to this fair. This safety fair, we trying to educate the public regarding how to prepare themselves during and after the earthquake and then to protect themselves for next 72 hours. Hi. My names ed sweeney. Im the director of services at department of building inspection, and we put together a great fair for the city of San Francisco to come down and meet all the experts. Weve got engineers, architects. We have builders, we have government agencies. Well, we have four specific workshops. We have the accessible business entrance. My name is leah, and i am the assistant manager with the department of small business. I am leading the new accessibility ordinance that helps existing owners better comply with existing access laws. So all buildings that have places of public accommodation in San Francisco, they must comply with this ordinance. The a. D. E. Was setup by the board of supervisors, and the ordinance was passed about a year ago. One of the biggest updates that we have is that the deadlines were extended, so all of the deadlines were extended by six months. And its really to help the public, the Business Community to be specific, to cut down on the amount of drive by lawsuits. So on this workshop, were going to be covering what the compliance looks like, what business examiand property owne need to know how to comply with the ordinance. Well also talk about the departments that are involved, including the office of small business, department of building inspection, planning department, as well as the Mayors Office on disability. Hi. Im marselle, and i manage a team at the building department. Today, well cover the meaning of a. D. U. S, more commonly known as accessory dwelling units. Well talk about the code and permitting processes, and well also talk about legalizing existing dwelling units that are currently unwarranted. This is the department of Building Inspections residential remodelling workshop. My name is senior electrical inspector cheryl rose, and at this workshop, were going to be answering questions such as do i need an electrical permit when im upgrading my dwelling, when do i need to have planning involved in a residential remodel, and whats involved with the coerce process . Were going to also be reviewing inspection process, and the permitting process for residential remodel in San Francisco. Theres always questions that need answers. Its a mystery to the general public what goes on in construction, and the more we can clarify the process, the more involved the consumer can be and feel comfortable with the contractors theyre working with and the product theyre getting in the results. If you have questions that arent addressed in this workshop, youre always welcome to come up to the third floor of 1660 Mission Street, and were happy to discuss it with you and find out what you need to do. The program is very successful. The last piece is already 60 in compliance. Well, we have a very important day coming up. Its sept 15. Last four has to be compliance, which means that the level four people that have to register with us and give us a basic indication of how theyre going to deal with their seismic issues on their building. Im francis zamora, and im with the San Francisco department of emergency management, and today we talked about how to prepare for emergencies in San Francisco. And so thats really importantiimportant. In San Francisco, its no secret. We live in earthquake country. Theres a big chance we will be involved in a major earthquake in the next 30 years, but we dont have to be afraid. These are going to be your First Responders outside of the police officers, paramedics, First Responders, these are going to be the people that come to your aid first. By getting to know your neighbors, youre going to know who needs help and who can help in case of an emergency. One of the great ways to do that is for signing7for nert, San Francisco neighborhood Emergency Response team. It teaches you how to take care of yourself, your loved ones, and your neighborhood in the case of an emergency. Information is just as important as water and food in an emergency. San francisco has an emergency text message alert system, called text sf. If theres some kind of an emergency happening in San Francisco or your neighborhood, it could be a police action, a big fire, a tsunami or an earthquake. All you have to do is text your citizenship code to 888777, and your mobile phone is automatically registered for alert sf. My name is fernando juarez, and im a fire captain with the San Francisco Fire Department. We have a hire extinguisher training system. You want to pull the pin, stand at least 8 feet away, aim it at the base. If youre too close, the conical laser that comes out, its too small, and the fire wont go out on the screen. If you step back, the conical shape on the screen is bigger, and it will take the fire go out faster. So it can tell when youre too close. My name is alicia wu, and im the director of a San Francisco based nonprofit. Since 2015, we go out to the public, to the community and provide training in different topics. Today were doing c. P. R. , controlling external feeding and how to do Perfect Communications in each topic, and also, i hope that they can bring it home and start gathering all the supplies for themselves to. On any given day in San Francisco, were very well resourced in terms of Public Safety professionals, but we all know in the event of a large scale disaster, it will be hours and days before the Public Safety professionals can get to you, so we encourage people to have that plan in place, be proactive. Theres websites. We have a wonderful website called 72hours. Org. It tells you how to prepare yourself, your family, your pets, your home, your workplace. We cant emphasize enough how important it is to be once i got the hang of it a little bit, you know, like the first time, i never left the court. I just fell in love with it and any opportunity i had to get out there, you know, they didnt have to ask twice. You can always find me on the court. [ ] we have been able to participate in 12 athletics wheelchairs. They provide what is an expensive tool to facilitate basketball specifically. Behind me are the amazing golden state road warriors, which are one of the most competitive adaptive basketball teams in the state led by its captain, chuck hill, who was a National Paralympic and, and is now an assistant coach on the national big team. It is great to have this opportunity here in San Francisco. We are the main hub of the bay area, which, you know, we should definitely have resources here. Now that that is happening, you know, i im looking forward to that growing and spreading and helping spread the word that needs that these people are here for everyone. I think it is important for people with disabilities, as well as ablebodied, to be able to see and to try different sports, and to appreciate trying different things. People can come and check out this chairs and use them. But then also friday evening, from 6 00 p. M. Until 8 00 p. M. , it will be wheelchair basketball we will make sure it is available, and that way people can no that people will be coming to play at the same time. We offer a wide variety of adaptive and inclusion programming, but this is the first time we have had our own equipment. Mayor breed how is everybody doing today . How is everybody doing today . All right. I am ex vitted t excited to be h president norman yee and supervisor fewer and. Supervisor mandelman delman and the supervisor walton. Thank you all. Mayor breed this is exciting. The new office of emerging technology. [applause] here is the thing. You would think that we would have an office of emerging technology or some level of Technology Something lie now especially as you look at the Tech Industry in San Francisco and we see that it is one of the number one growing industries in our city. What we find is that we are reacting to what they do rather than being proactive about creating the kinds of policies that would allow for these technologies to not only thrive in San Francisco or be meaningful for the residents. This is a new direction for the city. We dont see a bunch of scooters all over the city and them they have to pick them up and take them to figure out what to do with them, then the supervisors have to introduce legislation on a rapid pace and we are trying to catch up with technology and implement policies so that we we can have a system in place. Not just about regulation. It is about safety. It is about access. It is about developing a system that works so that when people come here with new ideas, which i think are incredible ideas, great ideas, we love to use Technology Every day on our smartphones. We want to make sure that the impacts of the if he ca of the e not negatively impacting the city. We want the folks creating these things work with us from the onset and not dealing with us because we are coming afterwards. That is what this is about. I am excited. This will make my job easier. It is going to make every member of the board of supervisors jobbiejob to be easier. We can figure out where it fits in the city bureaucracy. I want to thank all of you for being here today, for this great opportunity, and also i know that there are a lot of folks from labor that are here. I want to thank the Labor Council and the teamsters and others. [applause] we know that this new emerging technology involves new opportunities for employment, and we want to make sure that not only are we putting the right policies in place and working hand in hand as partners to provide these opportunities. We are working with labor in the work force to provide Job Opportunities for the residents of this city. What an incredible day, Incredible Opportunity and before we sign this legislation, i want to introduce the person who has led this effort from day one, president of the board of supervisors, norman yee. [applause] thank you, mayor breed. It is a pleasure to be here to celebrate this today. Good afternoon, everybody. I want to thank you all for joining us today in this celebration in establishing what will be the first in the nation, the office of emerging technology. As mayor breed said, it is amazing that given how rapid innovation has occurred in the last two decades and especially in San Francisco that we havent created this office. Now after some thought about what has occurred. It was really the conclusion we made that we need to do this. We need to do this for many reasons because we want innovation to happen in San Francisco. We want this to happen, but we want to be part of that. The city wants to be part of emerging technology. However, we also want to make sure whatever is being whatever is new is going to have benefits for the city. Benefits for the companies that are creating these things. What is it doing to our infrastructure . What is it doing for our Labor Movement . What is it doing for the businesses themselves . My conclusion is that it doesnt just have to benefit one part of our society here. Whatever comes along could benefit everybody in the city, whether it is business, whether it is individuals that walk down the street, whether it is the labor force that we are creating to implement these innovations, that is what i think we could do. This office when we thought about it, i said is it about regulations only . Is that the only thing we are going to do with this office . As soon as we talk about regulations, there is an image that this office is there just to block things from happening, and nobody in that task force that was created, all 200 people that showed up with that was thinking in those terms. It was really about, no, these are emerging technologies coming in. How can we take advantage of that . How can we work with them . How can the city be part of the innotice vision. This office will be the vehicle for the city to be a partner in innovation. That is how to solve what we are creating. It is about new things coming down the pike, how it is going to benefit San Francisco, auhow wauand how we can regulate hot happens. I would like to acknowledge everybody on the board of supervisors, my colleagues who all cosponsored this unanimously. I especially want to thank the supervisors here today for the ceremony. Supervisor sa safai,ual ton, fe, mandelman, mar. Thank you all for being here today. There are a lot of people from the community from all sorts of organizations, including people from labor, as mayor breed mentioned. Doug blog, rudy, kim, there are Many Companies here, including representatives from sf city, walk sf, teamsters, San Francisco chamber, San Francisco Labor Council, Community Technology network, microsoft, Community Living campaign, facebook and so forth. Many, many others that i have not named. What i would like to do is thank a few more people that has made this happen. I want to thank mayor breed who had put something in the budget to make sure we could jump start this with staff instead of having to wait another year to get this started. Thank you, mayor breed. [applause] i want to recognize the city administrator, naomi kelly. applause . When i asked her when we thought about this. I said how can we get this done . Shall we just create something . She said that is not how to do it. Create a task force. Get 200 people in the room and have a discussion around this. She said lets get 20 people and 200 people showed up. She handled it very well and the results of those 200 people having a discussion is what we are about today. Thank you, naomi. I want to also thank applause . I want to thank heime. He is out. He spent hundreds of hours putting this together. The other staff in your office. I want to thank debra lucky. Is she here . She is from public works and of course the head of the department for making valuable contributions for i sight how things work in terms of the department regulations. I want to thank the City Attorney who spent countless hours creating this. Thank you, tom. [applause] again, these type of things dont happen. All of my colleagues on the board of supervisors, including the mayor also knows this. These dont get done unless the staff getting it done. I thank my staff who spent many, many months on this, and i want to thank erica who drove this process. Thank you very much. I dont think it could happen without you. Right now what i would like to do before we do the signs is to introduce Jessica Lehman from the city senior disability action. Jessica. [applause] thank you. I am honored to speak to community interests in this new office on emerging technology. We know this office will have an opportunity to address a lot of issues facing seniors and people with disabilities when it comes to technology. There have been concerns about safety with scooters on our streets, potentially on the sidewalks, in our crosswalks. People need to get around safely. What does it look like when we share the sidewalk with delivery robots . We all want space to walk and move around, space to it is, space to enjoy community and connect with each other. We also have a number of opportunities facing us as tech grows. We could put technology to Traffic Signals to make sure people blind and low vision can get around more easily, have more time for people who need to cross. There is singapore where you hit a button if you need more time to get across. There are new ways to make sure people can get around. I know Tech Companies have done research occur be cuts, ramps. People in wheelchairs depends on to get around the walks. Make we can improve the bus access. The opportunities are endless, and we know that isolation and segregation and silos is a huge issue in the community. We can use the office on emerging technology to fight that isolation so people can participate fully in the community. The city has an Important Role to make sure tech is used for the public good. That we can use technology to meet the pressing needs of marginalized communities. We can make sure we have an open process in permitting, addressing new technologies that seniors and people with disabilities, communities of colors that all marginalized communities are involved. People affected need to be part of that process. I have great hope that with this new office we can come together, we can make sure we are building an age and disabilities friendly city, building a community where we all can participate, we all can connect with each other and we all can benefit from that. Thank you. Thank you, jessica. Mayor, we make this happen. applause . It.
