The 30 year timeframe. What this map that you are looking at shows is our past reductions since 2005 in pink. The pipeline is shown in hollow circles. It is on the east side around downtown and a few major plans such as candlestick and treasure island. As part of this analysis, we looked at feasibility of different types of developments and different locations and building types. Something that came through is High Construction costs which have been affecting the housing industry as a whole for the last few years are definitely a major barrier to producing and sustaining market rate and Affordable Housing over time. Those harder to quantify process and definitely also has an impact on housing costs. As part of this examination of where housing could go, we looked at three concepts for future housing growth. On the last you can see east side concept which essentially envisions additional housing being added to the east side areas where we have added much of our housing in the recent past. The next concept looked at adding more housing on major corridors which would receive additional infrom from structure infrastructure development. This would be lower rise than the east side concept, but the transit corridor would be more midrise as Development Type five to eight stories again focusing on transit corridors. Lastly, we looked at residential growth in the map on the right in the orange color. This looked more at dispersed housing growth throughout the residential neighborhoods. Much development was projected to occur on major corridors since that is where the larger parcels are. In this concept we did not exam any high changes so we are looking at 40foot as currently exists in most of the residential neighborhoods. We looked at each of the concepts with an equity lens, looking at how much inclusionary housing they were likely to produce, and i am getting a message i have poor network quality. Can you hear me. Yes, we can hear you. Okay. So we tried to layer that additional analysis of different equity implications, the financing and production of Affordable Housing through inclusionary and feasibility of building type depending on the development concept. Another key issue to meeting our housing targets included in the project were looking at Affordable Housing funding. We worked with our consultant be team to estimate we need approximately just over 500 million, 517 million per year to reach these Affordable Housing production and preservation targets. You can see on thegraph that we have close in 2019 and 2020. This represents a Real Investment from the city reflected in this Affordable Housing bonds that have been passed, funds dedicated and various sources. You can see on the path we have struggled to get a similar level of investment. We have a significant amount of investment against through the Affordable Housing bonds in the pipeline. Funding will drop off in the future without additional action. I wanted to note that homelessness and stabilization programs such as Tenant Legal Services are not included in this figure. They would be in addition to this amount. To summarize in the key policy issue areas we looked at as part of the project. We looked at increasing housing potential with focus on equity, sustaining Affordable Housing funding. We looked at helping to lower Construction Costs and streamlining approvals or other things to Lower Development costs, and finally the Stabilization Strategy to look at programs and policies to protect vulnerable residents and continue the expansion of homeless we have a specific mandate to think about the racial and social equity impact and how we can improve on the current state of affairs. Before participating in this work, planning worked with consultants and city agencies to identify key areas of potential strategies we would carry into this work and so these four main areas include avoiding longer term eviction debt and foreclosure crisis to speak to what supervisor mar brought up and to prevent homelessness. Ensuring the city continues to build new housing and increasing and leveraging Public Investment to preserve existing Affordable Housing and lock in affordability for the future. With that, i will pass it back tbackto miriam to talk about our housing plan. This data is what is forming our plans and policies. The most significant plan in front of us is the housing. As you know, a requirement of the element of the general plan required by state law. [indiscernable] you are chopped up. You are hard to hear. I am having the same problem hearing her that you are. The connection is choppy. Is this better . Yes. Sorry about the technical problems. I was indicating that the state has very specific requirements for the housing element. In San Francisco we go beyond those state requirements. We do have a much more extensive Housing Needs and Data Analysis, some of which is based on reports you have seen and Additional Data analysis that helps us understand some of our specific challenges from overcrowding to some of the data that needs to be breaking down by race and ethnicity. We also have an Environmental Impact report which we are the only city in the state of california completing this level of environmental analysis, given our current challenges. Most important is how we are reframing this. If we were to do an update like before, we will be failing the challenges and opportunities as supervisor mar indicated at the beginning. Through previous efforts we have been engaging with our communities to understand what are some of those core challenges and what you see in front of you we have summarized the input at 4 00 level. Racial and social equity, displacement, Housing Choices in all neighborhoods and neighborhoods resilient to climate and health crisis. These are some of the input that we have been hearing from our communities so far. We just started the first round of Community Engagement for the housing element. We are talking to various communities across neighborhoods. We have convened a Housing Policy Group to discuss those issues. We are planning two more rounds of Community Engagement, one at the end of the year and one next year. We will still need additional time to complete a drafting to present to you and complete Environmental Review process to move towards adoption. This data and strategies forming our plans and policies are substantial and need reframing as you have indicated. In addressing that, we are flagging the racial and social equity issues pressing today to allow us to respond to the health crisis, to the economic crisis, to the crisis of political unrest that not only San Francisco but many cities across the u. S. Are experiencing. We can only accomplish that by working closely with our communities. We are doubling our Community Engagement efforts. It is only through that that we will be able to reorganize Data Analysis report and improve the access of the data to you and community organizations. It is relying on that type of information that we will be able to develop recovery strategies that can confront this crisis and introduce major revisions to the housing element. We are mindful the level of Housing Affordability is lower than what we need and can accomplish. San francisco as a city who cares and with resources should be able to deliver more and the Planning Department hopes to be able to help that adjustment, change and take on this opportunity. We would very much welcome your enframe how to reframe the report to address our Current Crisis and best inform our plans and policies. This concludes our presentation. Thank you very much for having us and sharing our work uptodate. Thank you. Supervisor mar. Thank you. Chair peskin, i would like to request that we allow Public Comment right now and then we could have board or Committee Questions and discussions after Public Comment. Before we do that, to the Planning Department. Usually when we get the housing balance report we get a little presentation what the over and under was in all 11 districts. I didnt see that part. We were trying to cover the multiple reports in a succinct matter. We sent the link to the report. If you desire we can put together a more detailed presentation. We were concerned we were already taking too much time. All we have is time. All there is yesterday and tomorrow. If you want to put up the slide that shows the most recent housing balance report and you can do it after Public Comment relative to how we are performing in various districts at different level of a. M. I. , we can come back to you. With that why dont we open up to Public Comment. Any members of the public to speak on these items 4 and 5 . Thank you, mr. Chair. 32 listeners with seven. First speaker, please. [roll call caller hello. A couple things. I will be quick. One, i appreciate the Planning Departments report. It sounds like they really are trying to change and make our opportunities for workers and Affordable Housing issues more available and prevalent around the racial and economic divide of the city. Number two, i wanted to suggest that it is very, very important and critical as a person from the Labor Movement to tell you that it is not just racial and economics, it is also included workers and they are the essential people. We have found out that the people who can work in their offices can work anywhere in the world and still do work here, but those who are essential teachers, nurses, doctors, janitors, security guards, transportation. They need to live here so in order to work here to provide vital services. The Labor Council is in the process of gathering data about the workers unionized in the city, where they live here or outside the city, what they make and what their Affordable Housing needs are. When we say market or luxury rate. We are talking millionaires. Not even the highest paid workers qualify for the Affordable Housing principles that we have in the city. We will produce that and be talking about it in the Labor Movement. I cant speak for the Labor Movement here. Who i want to speak for is myself and my children and grandchildren who live here now who are thinking about moving. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Caller joseph smith. Thank you, supervisor mar for this important hearing. Prioritizing the needs of people of color and low income. In this time of Global Health crisis resulting in economic crisis, the health and Economic Needs of people with low income and color, including those we acknowledge as essential workers could not be more clear. Until we take concrete steps to change the way we do planning, the resolution will it is as an empty jumble of words. We need a new framework for planning. From the start of our process in the Richmond District we are from the framework to make this a true call for meaningful change. We call this new framework dapss. De segregation, affordable, production, sustainability. These needs to be addressed deeply. The only way to address the systems of segregation is to create de segregation systems. We have to demand an answer to the question what are we building and who are we building for . You can read about this in the people power media. Org. Thank you, supervisor mar and mir iam for bringing forward the concerns of the vulnerable in the community. Operator if you wish to provide Public Comment. Call 415655001. Meeting id1467294229. Pound and pound again. If you have not done so please press star three to speak. This will indicate that you have raised your hand. Please wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted and you may begin comments. Next speaker, please. Caller supervisors, i heard the presentation. I think the Planning Department has not taken into consideration how long this pandemic will be. While they were doing the presentation, they have started before the pandemic began. Realistically speaking, they are not keeping up with what is being done reasonin regionally d nationally related to the pandemic. It is here to stay until 2023. If you think that by addressing something that happened before the pandemic and sugar coating it and that some of us believe this, that is not going to happen. Our Planning Department fundamentally is still racist. Our Planning Department in San Francisco fundamentally is still racist. Sometime ago you supervisors looked at the housing act of 1956. What i will state is the racist laws our state is perpetuating. You are trying to do something, for which we give you kudos. Let me state again. Our San Francisco Planning Department is racist. Racist. Thank you very much. Operator next speaker, please. Caller my name is arnold town send resident of district five. We have been talking with the Planning Department over some weeks, and we applaud their efforts. I have been concerned for many years about the lack of relationship the Planning Department has had with the african community. It has been negligible as best. I want to caution that when it comes to the Affordable Housing this city for too long has had an all lives matter approach. When all lives matter, black lives dont. When we talk about disparity and when we talk about people of color, we dont usually mean black people. We have to become specific in our intent if we meet the needs of the africanamerican community. I hope the board of supervisors will do as we change dynamics how and where we deal housing that you will when it comes to black americans in San Francisco that you will get the same courage that it took to say we dont care what the law says in this town same sex dont have a right to marry. I hope you will takethe same courage we dont care what the law says. Thithis is a sanctuary city we e not treating immigrants in any inhumane manner. When we approach the needs of black people instead of courage we hear prop 209. I am hopeful this means it will be a breakthrough and we will really see the needs of black people that we have been ignoring for 53 years that i have been in this town. Thank you. Operator next speaker, please. We have 18 in the queue to spe speak. Caller resident of d5, the filmore and senior disability action. Reading the Housing Inventory and balance report, it is year there are two glaring trends of inequity. One is Government Agencies so busy chasing people who might be here by 2022 or 2050, they are neglecting the people who are here now. That is the people with the greatest need. Extremely low income folks under 30 of area median income. Who are they . Thousands of low wage essential workers, families of color yous r under popty line, 75,000 Social Security seniors and others priced out of housing and tax credit housing and closed out of private Public Housing and sros. The second trend is that city agencies are excluding those with the greatest need. By reinventing the definition of affordable. Planning does it when they include the units when we know new a. D. U. S start at market rate. They push affordable to incomes higher and higher. Planning does it when they go to 5,000 affordable units in 10 years with 120 for the extremely low income. Zero for 2019. We have no extremely low category. The reports show we will never achieve racial and social equity. We will never adequately house the people with greatest need until we stop reducing Affordable Housing. That is deeply Affordable Housing. That need is growing. The voices are getting louder. Thank you very much. Operator next speaker, please. Caller this is stewart flash man speaking on this item. I feel it is related to the balboa reservoir project. I want to thank supervisor mar forgetting this presentation presented today. It is an eye opening presentation and to me what it says is the current planning process is not working. We are not getting the affordable units we need. We are getting a surplus of market rate units. Why . The way the system is working we are piggybacking affordable units as bonus units. It is going to fail. We are Building Four or five market rate for every affordable unit. That shows in the statistics. What we need to do is sever affordable from market rate and focus on affordable. Lets not put affordable as piggybacking on market rate. Furthermore, the market rate units compete with affordable units for Construction Materials and that means that the affordable units end up being second class citizens. I want to point out one of the things pointed to is Work Force Training. One of the major sources for Work Force Training is ccsf that is ignored in the city Affordable Housing policy. Thank you. Operator next speaker, please. Caller i couldnt agree more with the past two speakers and with supervisor mar. I want to state that [indiscernable] it has many opportunities or did have. They are being taken over by luxury housing. We are not going to 25 years. Our objective is to preserve the rental housing we have that is reasonably affordable. We ultimately decided that our reach for the future was for a lot of senior housing
