My name is abby rivamontemesa. Thank you for all of the applicants that applied to the Stabilization Fund and for those that are able to join us today. Briefly for some background, i know that this matter has appeared before the rules committee a couple different times now. But just quickly, the Soma Community Stabilization Fund was created in 2005. The mission of the Soma Community Stabilization Fund is to stabilize a community and promote equity through funding recommendations and priorities. That mitigate the impact of development. Today we have the following alternate seats remaining, that are open for consideration. Seat 8 for this seat the applicant must meet the minimum qualifications of being a senior or disabled. Seat 12, for this seat the applicant must have Small Business expertise and a familiarity with the soma neighborhood. And for seat 13, the applicant must have experience serving lowincome residents. Chair ronen, that concludes my initial comments. Commissioner ronen okay, great. Now we will hear from the applicants. We have three misconducts shan applicants Shannon Amitin, marke bieschke and lorezno listana. In any order that works for you. Victor. Clerk mr. Coe, can you unmute the first applicant. Mr. Coe . You should be hearing mr. Listana now. Good morning, supervisors. My name is lorezno listana. Thank you for the time that youre giving me today. So i live in the lowincome housing in the south of market neighborhood since 2018. But prior to moving to soma, my family had lived in the tenderloin for 12 years. I work as a commuter since 2010. I have worked closely with lowincome residents, seniors, working class families on issues like Affordable Housing, immigration, jobs, Public Safety, evictions and gentrification. I believe my experience in working with lowincome residents in soma and, of course, the tenderloin for many years, is my biggest qualification that fits me with this. As an organizer, i founded and cofounded five Community Base residentled organizations. Now working to help the problems in the community. So i founded the Tenderloin Community association in 2010. It will be turning ten years this year. Yeah. So i cofounded the congress in 2015 with the late shane hewitt. I organized the Residents Assembly and cofounded the Filipino Community Development Corporation in 2017, the only Filipino Community Organization Corporation that focuses on Affordable Housing, development. So last year i organized the soma neighborhood resident council. Its an organization in soma. All of these organizations are actively working on issues to help lowincome in our community. So if given the opportunity to be a member of the soma c. A. C. , id like to help the committee with the lowincome residents in soma. And to bring to the attention of the Committee Issues that are important to them, such as Affordable Housing, focusing on how to preserve gentrification in soma and to fight against eviction. I will also work with residents of the administration to help Public Safety and especially on 6th street. And local hiring. And lastly supporting neighborhood events and programs under soma filipinos, that brings people together as one community. So i hope, you know, my work and my experience in working with lowincome residents would be given a chance to be able to serve in the community, so that i can bring, you know, my experience and the interests of the people that i care about. And so that they will be wherever they go me representing the lowincome residents in soma. So thank you so much. Supervisor ronen thank you so much. Thanks for your willingness to serve in this capacity. Is there any questions for mr. Listana . Seeing none, i think we can move on to the next applicant. Good morning, supervisors. My name is marke bieschke, im known as markey b. In the community. Im a queer member of which banded together with the oldest queer population. As a business in soma, thousands of hours in the neighborhood getting to know other business owners, artists, musicians, performers and workers. As a regular journalist, i spent 25 years documenting the culture and history of soma, including publishing hundreds of articles of the local and international area. As a banker, publications which documents soma history and changes. Its very close to my heart. I have danced, deejayed, performed and enriched myself in somas culture. Ive been involved in such festivities as the Howard Street fair, folsom street fair, which i helped document the events as well as participate in. As an adviser on the committee, id like to represent the Small Business, especially with the crisis were going through right now. I definitely want to help promote historical character of the neighborhood, as well as help preserve somas diversity and wonderful events, by helping to figure out ways through this challenging time. I think despite all of the bad going on, a fresh opportunity is to keep soma thriving as a diverse and social neighborhood. Thank you so much for considering me. Supervisor ronen thank you markey b.

Wed like to keep seat 8 open for an applicant that has qualifications as being a senior or disabled. Thank you. Supervisor ronen thank you very much.

Were having issues reconnecting the Public Comment line. May i suggest you may want to move on to the next item and hear from those applicants and we can come back to voting on item number 1 after we reconnect. Supervisor ronen that sounds like a great idea. Okay. Thank you so much. So if the clerk could please read item number 2. Clerk yes. Item number 2 is a motion approving rejecting the president of the board of supervisorser inman yees nomination of deland chan to the Planning Commission to a term ending july 1st, 2022. Supervisor ronen wonderful. Im assumeing miss chan is on the line. I want to congratulate you on your nomination. I was so impressed with your approach to urban planning and look very much to hearing from you today. Would you like to start off with a few words . Excuse me. Supervisor ronen yes. I had no idea you were here, mr. President. Im so sorry. Before ms. Chan, before you do that, i wanted to see if our president of the board of, who nominated you, had any words to share with us to start us off. Thank you, chair ronen. I generally do not do this, where i will come before the rules committee to speak on behalf of somebody i nominated. But since i was going to speak on item 23 anyways, i thought i would take advantage of this opportunity. Because i feel like anybody can speak clearly for themselves. But as it is, you know i think my colleagues on the board know that i really want to, if i have the opportunities, to diversify as much as possible our commissions, whether its gender or ethnicity and other ways to diversify. And in the past, we have seen many commissions that are sorely lacking in diversity and perspectives. So were really proud. I mean, that recently ive been able to do this. And today in front of you, at the rules committee, i dont think its any different. Deland is somebody that and several other people that i interviewed for this position. Many highly qualified, but what came top me for was deland. Her background and her perspective shared by many of us. Shes she has much experience in the Community Working for ccbc as a senior planner. And worked with the community to do outroach and felt like it was really important for her to involve people in the community in the decision making. Seems to be something thats very out part of d. N. A. So its something that i really appreciate. And her many of us have carried that in terms of our values. But very few of us have excelled beyond that, in the academics. And for urban planner, she studied and continues to study and actually shes at stanford at this point. Trying to get her ph. D. In this area. And shes lecturing down there. So we have somebody with the experience that she brings in and willing to serve our community, its almost like a nobrainer to me. And so i hope that you will find her the way i find her to be very great for the commission. Chair ronen, supervisors, i want to thank you for allowing me to say a few words about deland. And i hope that i will get your support and her nomination. Thank you very much. Supervisor ronen thank you very much, mr. President. And with those beautiful words of introduction, looking forward to hearing from you, ms. Chan. Hi, good morning. Eye name is deland chan. Thank you, president yee, for the introduction. And thank you chair ronen and supervisor stefani and mar for the student to hear more about my background and my hope to serve on the Planning Commission. So as you know i train as an urban planner, i was a daughter of immigrants, born and raised in new york city. My Early Experiences of growing up in Public Housing, taking the bus and the subway to school every day, sparked for me a desire to study cities to really understand how decisions about how housing and land use are made. Its left a deep impression on me and thinking in that cities are successful when theyre inclusive and work for all people. As a planner with the chinatown Community Development center, i worked on land use and transportation issues. I was involved with designing to engage Public Housing residents and chinesespeaking seniors to participate in streetscapes and Pedestrian Safety projects. The the population part of a planning process. This work, i aim to put the tools of planning directly in the hands of those who are most familiar with. I teach in the program on urban studies at stanford, where i continue to build and nurture the pipeline of future planners. In my class, i encourage students to go out directly into the field, so they can learn from the communities on the ground and have a commitment. Im also pursuing a ph. D. In urban development and my research is on exceeding the process of urban planning and understanding participatory planning practices in the communities. Should i be appointed to the Planning Commission, i would be excited to bring an equity to the planning of the body. I hope to continue the work of exemplifying perspectives from low income and communities of color, that have not always been well represented in the process. A combination of my lived experiences, academic backgrounds, work experience, and a perspective to the Planning Commission. Thank you supervisors for considering my nomination. And with that im happy to answer any questions you may have. Supervisor ronen thank you. Supervisors mar and stefani, do you have any questions . Supervisor mar chair ronen, thank you. First of all, i just wanted to thank president yee for putting forward such or nominating such an impressive candidate for the Planning Commission, which is, you know, such a critically important decisionmaking body in our city. And then also thank miss chan for your willingness to serve in this important body. You know, i think you obviously have been really impressive and bring so much in terms of your academic and community experience. And even your lived experience as youve mentioned, to bring important capacities and experiences to the Planning Commission and the decisions. I just had, you know, a few questions. I, you know, interested in hearing a little bit more about your thinking or your approach to the, you know, the big issue facing our issue, that Planning Commission plays, the Housing Affordability crisis. And, yeah, just would like to your hear thoughts about that. And particularly, you know, your ideas on how we could address Housing Affordability here in our city. And the role that marketrate housing and commercial Development Play in that. Thank you, supervisor mar, for that question. I think as a San Francisco resident, there is probably no one in the city who is not impacted by the lack of Housing Affordability. As part of my hopeful role on the commission, we are kind of starting up the new Regional Housing assessment, through the association of the bay area government. Thats leading into the Housing Element, in which the Planning Commission will have an advisory for that. I really do think weve seen considering the different types of data out there and make thoughtful decisions about how to push for Equitable Development as far as policies go. I think if you look at kind of the data around kind of production of housing, you know, the Housing Element calls for 6 of all new housing to be affordable to households. And from my understand, we are not currently fielding active targets. I think one thing ill be really interested in doing is to kind of understand the different types of Housing Units that would be necessary in order to meet the needs of various income levels. Supervisor mar thank you. Yeah. Thank you for that. And another question i have is what are your thoughts about the role of the west side of San Francisco in helping to address the Housing Affordability crisis and accommodate more housing development, particularly Housing Affordability. We really need to approach this with a nuance lens and working with the board of supervisors to really understand just the different perspectives around this issue. I think we also have these perceptions of homeowners or certain committees, i think that many of us come from multifaceted backgrounds. We have different perspectives. My first initial approach to this, is the history of the plans has been currently, you know, addressed. I think theres the Advisory Committee and so forth that has a lot of input. Its important to look at that. And also just understand the wide section thats involved moving forward. Supervisor mar thank you so much, miss chan. Chair ronen, i dont have any other questions. Supervisor ronen thank you. Who has the chicken at home . Supervisor stefani. Supervisor stefani yes, thank you, chair ronen. I dont have any questions for miss chan. I think shes more than qualified and im excited about her nomination. I just want to thank president yee for putting forward an individual who is not only knowledgeable about urban planning, but knows the experience of renters in San Francisco. And also someone who is deeply committed to engaging with communities during the planning process. I think thats extremely important to work with communities that are affected by our decisions. And i wanted to thank miss chan for her willingness to serve, you know, with other new members on the board i mean, on the Planning Commission and a new planning director. And really the difficulties that were going to be facing as we come out of this pandemic. It will certainly be i think a dynamic time to be on the Planning Commission. And i appreciate your willingness to step up. I guess i dont have any questions. And i am very excited to support this appointment. So thats all i have. Thank you, chair ronen. Supervisor ronen thank you so much, supervisor stefani. I would love to echo your words. I want to thank you, president yee, for such for nominating such a strong candidate to serve in this role. And i just have one question for you, miss chan. I serve as San Franciscos representative or one of two of San Franciscos representative on the metropolitan transportation commission. And im very interested in seeing Regional Planning for transitoriented development, as long as Economic Equity is an integral goal of any again forking or regulatory changes. Im wondering what do you see, if any, potential risks of vulnerable communities and what would you like to see as we embark on this planning endeavor . Thank you, chair ronen, for that question. Yeah. I definitely think the m. T. C. Has officially classified communities of concern that are at risk for the safety pressure as a result of transitoriented development. I think moving forward, i would ask that we consider the full range of data thats roundtable out there. I think the houseing, jobs and analysis can one way to match the types of housing to the affordability levels of workers, right. So i think the more that were able to have a tight necklace to connect the types of housing to those who live in them, thats equity as part of our conversation. Supervisor ronen okay. Great. Thank you. I appreciate that. I really look forward to working with you and connecting the work of the m. T. C. To the work of the Planning Commission more directly. So with that, if theres no more questions or comments, i wanted to see if weve got the line back up for Public Comment. Madam chair, yes, we do have the line reconnected. We would like to know do you want to take Public Comment for both items or just one and then the second separate . Supervisor ronen why dont we just take Public Comment for either or both items. Okay. Arthur, can you please queue them up. Victor, make your announcements, im sorry. Clerk yes. Madam chair, were checking to see if there are any callers in the queue. For those who are already connected to our meeting via phone, please press one and zero for item 1 or item 2.

Im speaking about item number 1 on the meeting approximately my name is john cart and ill be speaking to marke bieschke as a candidate to the Advisory Committee. Both of my jobs are in soma, the stub bar, and additionally after residing residing in soma at 6th street, a fair amount of my life continues to center in the soma neighborhood. Marke is, of course, a fellow cooperative member and worker over at the bar. And it was his eye and care for community that led to him rescuing this important soma business. Mark saw the needs a a specific space, but the whole ecosystem nightlife venues. His ability to see a larger picture always impresses me. This will no doubt be applied to his care for the communities that live and the businesses that work in soma. Mark is a leader in the community, his journalistic endeavors show a place for people, po values fairness and i fully would like to recommend him as a valuable member to the committee. Thank you. Supervisor ronen thank you so much. Next speaker. Operator you have eight questions remaining. Supervisors, can channel 10 Community Development center, speaking on item number 2. I, you know, deland has explained and talked about her altercation and shes shared them with you. I want to focus on something thats really important to me and i think to the Community Members, which is delands willingness to share her expertise with people and young people. Deland was a Founding Member of the china town urban institute, which was a Summer Program that helped young people both in high school and college to learn about urban planning and learn about what it took to apply kind of Community Work to the urban planning lingo and the urban planning, you know, framework. And so we have incredible need for people like deland on the Planning Commission, that are willing to share their expertise, their knowledge, their ability and their incredible intelligence with the community. So that we can ensure that as a Planning Commissioner is not insulated, is not alienated, but is part of the broader community. And is hearing, listening and giving back to the community. And deland is going to be amazing, amazing commissioner because of her dedication to sharing and to teaching and thats something that we really, really need. Thank you very much. Supervisor ronen thank you so much. Next speaker, please. Operator you have seven questions remaining. Caller honorable supervisors, good morning. My name is im speaking on item 2. I am one of professor deland chans former students. I met deland four years ago as a freshman in her sustain it will be cities class. Deland provided mentorship to me as i tried to put human cities planning into my education. She invited me to events hosted by the human cities initiatives. When i took International Urbanization my junior year, she guided us through beijing and the bay area under social justice oriented framework. In the spring of that year, we worked on a oneday workshop on spatial segregation in santiago, chile. I was one of the teaching assistants for delands defining smart cities class. Aside from these educational collaborations, deland continues to mentor me formally as my major adviser for international relations. Her many years of mentorship have encouraged me to explore my curiosity in equitable urban planning for all people. And on stanfords campus, many of delands students, including me, have started the Stanford Coalition for planning equitable 2035. The coalition to hold stanford accountable for sustainable and Equitable Development in the 2018 generaluse permit process. Deland is an example of diligent mentorship in teaching. She shows me the ropes of meaningful and equitable scholarship in research. As an aspiring firstgeneration lowincome vietnamese american student and hopefully urban planning, im inspired to be mentored by another woman of color from a working class family. And finally, i admire delands humble and softspoken intelligence. She nurtured a different style of leadership thats necessary for our complex world. Shes vocal and assertive in the necessary moments about equity. Thank you. Supervisor ronen thank you so much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Operator you have six questions remaining. Caller honorable supervisors ronen, stefani and mar. My name is john and im speaking on item 2 on behalf of a group of professor deland chans former students at stanford university. As students who have taken classes, seminars and field studies with professor chan, we have benefited firsthand from her valuesdriven approach. She has taught many of us the importance of holistic communitydriven planning, the need for diversity in planning and the role of empathy and common understanding in our diverse cities. Urban planning is a complex process. Professor chan navigates and builds connections across the lens, across the academic practice, across backgrounds and across urban context. She has taught interdisciplinary classes, drawing students from environmental students, engineering, deland manages to make urban planning a relevant and important topic across the student body. Professor chan incorporates projectbased learning to ensure that students apply theory to action on tangible issues. Many of those classes she teaches are communityengaged learning courses, i in which students are paired with community directors. Professor chan is able to meet students where they are and guide them to develop empathy and understanding of the disparities in urban communities she looks at the global complex, through initiatives such as the urbanization seminar, students have collaborated across the world to learn from different contexts. Professor chans positive influence on students is undeniable. Many of her students have gone on to pursue planning and governancerelated work as City Planners and organizers, including San Francisco fellow, the housing commissioner and more. We strongly recommend deland chan for the San Francisco Planning Commission. She has the principles necessary to serve San Franciscos communities well. Thank you for your time.

Im the Youth Commissioner on the San Francisco Youth Commission and a little an urban planning student at San Francisco state. I am here to support the nomination of deland chan to the Planning Commission. I remember meeting deland back in high school, way before i even knew what urban planning was.

Our race and social equate coalition is a crosssector grouping of organizations that represents a diverse mix of communities of color throughout the city and intent on advancing racial and social equity. We truly strive to better the lives of our constituents, as well as the health, sustainability and vibrancy of San Francisco. As advocates, organizers, Service Providers and community planners, we are all collectively organizing people of color and working families in San Francisco through the advocacy of Equitable Development, Affordable Housing and environmental justice, economic development, and immigrant rights. Our communities are looking for authentic leadership at the Planning Commission and were looking for vision of a deep understanding of Regional Planning and someone who can actually see beyond the exterior of the architecture of our citys buildings and into the history and narratives of the people who for generations created and recreated our neighborhoods. We are a 20member citywide coalition. And we are very proud of the fact that we have somebody that has these deep values that we cherish as a nominee for the Planning Commission. I have always kind of seen it as you can tell a lot about a person through their and their leadership through those that theyve helped bring up around them. And i think that deland has that quality of wanting to teach others what she knows and break down what is a very complex world of land use and planning. And i think that her professional accolades shows that she is beyond qualified. But its also the personal connection and her upbringing that makes her of great value to the city and county of San Francisco. And a real ally for those communities that need the most help. So we are clerk your time has lapsed. Supervisor ronen thank you so much. Operator you have two questions remaining. Supervisor ronen next speaker. Caller hello, my name is david.

And represent its diverse communities. Deland has the Technical Knowledge to address complex landuse issues and understands the struggles of marginalized groups.

Deland chan knows that people in the community belong at the center of this process.

Thank you so much. And mr. Clerk, can you please read item number 3. Clerk item number 3 is ordinances amending the administrative code to extend the sunset date for the balboa reservoir Community Advisory committee from may 8th, 2020 to july 1 of the, 2021 and require the Advisory Committee to provide Community Input after development entitlements have been issued. Supervisor ronen president yee. Supervisor yee thank you, chair ronen. And thank you members of the board of rules committee. Im sorry. The rules committee. For supporting my nominee. To the Planning Commission. As many of you, i started the balboa reservoir Advisory Committee in 2015. To help basically shift out the compensation about a potential project on the balboa reservoir site. Before the committee was formed, it was very clear that we were not going to make it any progress when people were shouting over each other, meeting after meeting. Temperature felt pretty pointless. City staff was trying to take notes and it seems like what i see from those type of meetings, didnt really didnt really reflect what people were saying. Its almost like whatever staff wanted to hear themselves. Before the committee was formed, the committee by their structure and the way for the neighbors, most immediately impacted like sunnyside, Westwood Park and city college to have representatives to help shape a set of principles and parameters that ultimately led to selection of the developer. And now the project proposal that is moving through the city review process. And the committee since then, since last friday may 8th, the original time was to stay active through entitlements. But the project titles is moving into august of this year. The committee and the members of the public have asked for an extension of this particular c. A. C. We started the process before the Health Emergency. But, of course, everything nonurgent took a pause. The projects final Environmental Impact report general plan amendment, special use district, Development Agreement, and other projectrelated reviews are scheduled to be going before the Planning Commission on may thursday, may 28th. The committee is planning to hold a meeting before then to discuss the project. I also know that this committee will be very busy over the next few months, as we continue to discuss the specialuse district and the Development Agreement that the board of supervisors will be weighing in on later this year. It is my commitment to work with them to bring forward the strongest project possible and address the concerns that many of them have brought forward. I want to make it very clear to the public that this committee will continue to be in existence, not just throughout the rest of this project review phase, but until next i want this to continue until next jul. If the project is eventually approved, i believe that it is the best interest of the neighbors in the Community Members to have the committee continue its service to ensure active communication engagement with the developer in this next phase, including construction and other types of litigation. I want to take the community to thank the members of the balboa Reservoir Committee Advisory Committee for all of their services. And for the staff who have really made the process as engaging as possible. I have heard many times that this is a model for public input. And i am proud of that. Chair ronen, i have a set of nine substantive amendments to offer and hope that you can support this. The amendment is to ensure that once the legislation is enacted, that it will retroactively recognize the Community Advisory committee. Since theres a bit of a lapse in time from the original sunset date and to the new date, which they have extended. It is the extension. Im also i also respectfully request for this item to be heard as a Committee Report for tomorrow. So we can continue to move this legislation forward. Thank you. And i hope to count on your support.
