Transcripts For SFGTV Board Of Education 41117 20170412

Need the leno. Bill. This is not easy that is not lost on me im feel an urgency as a city and School District i would like to see mirrored. I dont know what else to say. Supervisor its always aurgency. I know that. From missions 2020. I cant build it fast enough. I cant build enough of it. We want to build Affordable Housing. In terms of this because were doing something new and Something Different we we need the time to do it right so we can make sure we replicate it. Once we figured this model out we can replicate it. Then the big policy question is, where does the money come from . I need the time to make sure that im going to accomplish four the School District for the city and for the board what we intend it to did. Sure. I understand that and you aring hard on this and i know its incredibly complicated with you beneed interim strategy that is going to deal with the crisis between now and five years and then we need Start Building at a pace that matches the urgency. Im committed to being involved not just bringing up questions and issues but participating on a solution we will continue to have this conversation i will ask if we can continue this hearing to the end of this to the call of the chair and have regular updates so we shine light on progress. And make sure this is progressing as it should. Perhaps this will be a vehicle for other types of strategies as well. From the chair i havent had an opportunity to say anything i think its been a fruitful discussion the last point is really the meat of the conversation today. What has been the impediment to getting a lot of this accomplished although you have only been involved in the conversation the last two years can you speak a little bit more can you speak more and there were a lot of questions asked and theres a lot of meat in this can you drill down more what you mean about where is the financing going to come from and what that means because when i look at this slide one of the most telling slides in the presentation today is that 70 of the teacher make between 50 to 125,000 a year. That is 70 of the teachers surveyed yet the only ones that would be served by current rental program outside of the brick and mortar is a First Year Teacher by themselves. I want you to drill down on that were having this discussion in other parts of the board tell us what you mean in terms of where the financing will come from. Im going to make a conjecture about the prior efforts and the fact and people are looking at building housing the whole notion of financing housing is based upon what First Mortgage you can support and how much this is going to cost to build and can you support the First Mortgage to build that housing. I think in most cases, as as superintendent speak to it directly , there say gap and given that gap, the question for the School District was, what are the resources we have to actually fill that gap . Do we take it from class maintenance . Do we take it from playground equipment do we take it from salaries . That is the gap we have to fill. That is the difference between then and now. We do have a source from the Affordable Housing bond to try to fill that gap. In that Affordable Housing binned how much of that is available. To the income levels are you talking about. Theres a couple of things i think you asked about how we finance Affordable Housing. Most of our Affordable Housing is at 60 median and below. In part because thats where the subsidy is available. So the state if theyre doing housings they will say 55 or 60 the feds will do 50 or 55 maybe 60 we as a stit always try to do lower than that that was the area of greatest need there was never any sort of funding to subsidize people at 61 as the case might be. Thats why the whole Affordable Housing industry always focused on that developed expertise havent done housing between 61 and 120. So this is a new era for us because we have never subsidized in that area its taking a while to do it but we have never done it before at that Affordable Housing level. Are there tools in your tool kit that can finance housing to date . The simplest tool is we do soft loans so in some respects for our tax credit developments, the sale of the whole Income Housing equity brings 200,000 or so from investors i dont have to subsidize. So say the unit costs 400,000 a year. I got 200,000 from my low Income Housing tax credit actually the developer gets it puts it into the transaction and i put in another 200,000 for a total of 400,000 and i have a fully financed project where the upper income where i dont have tax credit i have higher income they may be able to support bigger loan, First Mortgage that cover 50,000 of the 400,000 im bringing to the table 350,000 to make that project financially feasible. That is the challenge. For the higher income its a lot more expensive and you dont necessarily have the pool of money to draw from. That is correct. There are there no subsidy that is the challenge the fair housing questions to making sure were maintaining long term restrictions to educators is going to bay challenge. Those are thee challenge. Those are the challenge. Those are ta challenge. Those are the two thing to build this educator housing. We know how to do it. There are steps and impediments to ensure were getting what we intend to build from the get go. For the purposes of this con ver education on the bricks and mortar side were talking about rental you wouldnt sell the unit of the School District or public property talking about in that context rental housing. Were talking primarily rental if were successful to use it for the paras housing obviously is rental housing and we have a down Payment Assistance Program i think that we will have to go back and get the exact facts how many dalp loans we did over that period and how many were educators there were a number that were successful in taking advantage of our existing housing programs without the designation of educator only. Again, we have even as a city, we have a limited number of opportunities for middle income people primarily the bmrs inclusionary bmrs and the dalp that is it. The educators are taking advantage of it, but again, with the rise in the housing prices they are it is difficult. Over the life of the dalp program we have had 62 educators take advantage of down Payment Assistance Program that is not in the last two years over the life of the program we have to build this program over the life of the program. We have served educators in the past. Is it enough . Obviously not. Again, we are struggling to serve. Not just indicators the entire city were trying to do our best this is the first time were trying to do strictly educator housing. This is the last question then i will hand it over to my colleagues reading from your chart i dont know what slide it is the bmr Inclusionary Program is helpful at the current income levels is helpful for the paras and First Year Teachers the thing that is really helpful for teacher in your tool kit is the homeowner ship program the dalp, and teacher next door the inclusionary is not serving teachers within the range i just said which is 70 of their income level between 50 to 120. One of the reason s we have increased the dalp income levels up to 175 the mayor in terms of looking at the program he said two teachers, two kids and what would that be . That is over 120. We increase that level higher because we were cutting out two teachers and two kids. Most are inclusionary units were at the 90 or 100 . Those levels were too high for inclusionary homeowner ship were too high for those two teachers and two kids so the dalp would be the only thing that would serve the two teachers and two kids. And then , this is my last question. I looked at the example you gave us in santa clara where they use certificates of participation in conventional loans is that something you are looking at as a possibility . It is a possibility. The raises the question, again who recollects is going to pay for the gap . Is it the School District through its bond issue . The School District has issues cops in the past. Are we expecting the Mayors Office in the housing of the city to pay for it from the Housing Trust fund and bond proceed are we doing Affordable Housing bond in the future they will create a different source for educators as we try to replicate build on the success of this first bricks and mortar project. That is the million million Million Dollar question where will the source for the gap funding come . Should we decide this concept is successful and we can replicate it ongoing forward basis. Thank you. So i wanted to say olson that i know you have to build housing that is just for teacher but there are seniors there are disabled people. Many segments coughing we need that kind of housing because coughing we have created a situation where theyre out priced in San Francisco. So i just want to say that, we have worked together on upcoming project that i hope will answer questions i did meet with these people the developers that developed the housing for san jose i met with them. Olson working on 1950 mission together. We wanted that to be tiecher housing it was the same issue we spoke about how do we fund the moderate way we talked about the Teachers Retirement Fund would they be investors could they bridge it now . I know theyre a fiduciary they have to guarantee so much of a profit im wondering, what are some of the other outside maybe not physical districts we did have certificates of participation and garcia was reluctant to do it before. We have coughing and we felt so relieved okay its done we have paid that off. So i dont know really if the School District is the entity to do cops because we dont know what is coming down with Public Schools also in the future which could be hor end out we might be providing our own free lunches we just dont know there is something in the meantime fs u. S. D maybe this is to mi young i mean uesf, there is something we can do togethers maybe this is to mi young i mean uesf, there is something we can do togetherf maybe this is to mi young i mean uesf, there is something we can do togetheru maybe this is to mi young i mean uesf, there is something we can do togeths maybe this is to mi young i mean uesf, there is something we can do togetherd maybe this is to mi young i mean uesf, there is something we can do together i have to stop saying we in the School District. I got emailed that said i i am a landlord and want to rent to a teacher i directed them to u. S. F there was no mechanism fshgs to connect them. Im a landlord myself. I rent to someone who was a teacher who is not a teacher any more. Was a teacher and i think teachers actually make great tenants theyre employed responsible finger printed and they can vouch for after they ten youre theyre hard to ged rit of. Give a hotline if you are a landlord help out with the Public School this is what you can doo you can put a teacher in a classroom. We have uasf as partners getting people who need housing maybe its people recently evicted and we set up sort this thing through hr or whoever this is something we can do immediately its something we can connect landlords with teachers because they make first as a landlord im looking for a good tenant i want a ten ant that is going pay me and take care of the property that is responsible and i have a tennant for 17 years this is a campaign you can easily launch with a minimum amount of money people who have rentals even in particular rent controlled apartments because teachers wages dont go up as the rent. I wanted to make that suggestion. I think it could work immediately i want to say olson that i think i know were building for populations in San Francisco. But i think this population needs a little special attention because it is the foundation. Public education is the foundation of democracy we pride ourselves again i use ourselves San Francisco unified were in a world class city we want world class education system. Theyre doing their part. We lead the nation in education and innovation. But i dont think this is not a nut we cant crack. I also would pit it on every supervisor to look at available. Building sites in their own neighborhood and think of ways we can free up some of the housing for teachers. Any way i apologize if i yelled at anyone one quite frankly it wont be the last time i had to apologize to many people in San Francisco unified and many are sitting in this room right now. If i offend anyone i apologize i feel like this is an issue we have been struggling sfusd has been struggling with for a long time its frustrating when we see the direction and the housing in my own neighborhood people evicted out of their apartments now there are full time hotels it breaks my heart. Its beyond frustrating. Thank you. Mi young did you want to make a closing remark briefly are you good . Thank you supervise. I think good. I dont have a lot of add i appreciate the robust conversation that took place tonight especially members of uasf that stuck around thank you. I wanted to end by thank everyone that stuck it out to the end this was amotionally and intellectually hard meeting mr. Mendoza that was here a second ago listened to the whole hearing and mark sanchez. Special that i thinks for the erica being a super star clerk figuring out logistical headache tonight this woman was behind the scenes taking care of everything. Thank you. Thank you to my colleagues. I want to close by saying i want to repeat i know were all exhausted its worth repeating the testimony that highlighted the urgency. We heard that young people who want to be teachers see no future in the profession. We see a speaker late for a second job but stayed here to testify and another teacher who has three jobs, to make ends meat we see a teacher that wants to stay after school that beg her to do so but cant because she has to sit in a two hour commute on the way home we have one teacher that commutes five hours a day another 12andahalf hours a day. We heard about homeless teacher people moving further away that cant retire we heard teacher looking for another job that broke their heart even though they love their profession. We heard teachers that use entire paycheck or 75 to pay towards rent living with three people. Without separate bedrooms we heard from young kid eviction is a regular part of her experience of rour life and friend and parents friends we heard of a family of six living in a one bedroom and family of three live w a baby living in a studio know who knows what theyre going to do when the kid starts to walk. We heard of a teacher just on here floor of the school only three out of ten teachers were returning this school year. We heard young teachers struggling to clear their credentials and Student Loans still make housing payments and still have 164 vacant positions we dont expect to fill this next school year if this is not a crisis i dont know what say crisis is. I deeply appreciate the work of mo and the School District and uasf and the participates of the school board of this group. I know you feel this crisis and urgency like i do. I know you are working hard there is no quick simple solution to this crisis we have to solve it because we have no choice. Not solving it is not an answer. Im looking forward to continuing this conversation and this work with you very closely to figure out how were going to get this done as quickly as possible. Thank you everyone staying for so long.

Zaragoza mr. Cook. Mr. Haney ms. Mendozamcdonnell dr. Murase ms. Norton mr. Sanchez and mr. Walton thank you. And new commissioner Vice President mendosamcdonnell. Thank you i pulled item k 58 a retroactive resolution normally im curious on this one this the reason was the start data was required by the grant and for the Downtown High school for 19,000 and this has been in motion since august 2016 thats that months ago we have been on a contract that we didnt have approved or funding for i want to know what happened here. Good evening commissioners assistant superintendent the information i can get the specific grant information if you want a followup that is a grant the grant is not final list and the work is planned for example, you know that downtown is a project based Learning School they actually plan the projects and start the projects at the beginning of the semester we believe that is a little bit long for this and he agree with you and i can correct that it is just an example of a grant not finalized and having the plan to start work. If you have a grant for a postage that is done at the end of year you should have the funding in place before you start the project to my point i mean whether the point is based or not you cant have work we contract with people without knowing how to pay for it or a contract approved and you know what i mean that is a little bit more egregious seven months a a long time whether you know youre paying for a mr. Starr project. Agreed commissioner that ill move and work with the school to pasture they correct that theyll have to do rely on the Grant Funding this year to pay for next years actually plan a year in advance with the particular projects thats what im going to advise them. In the future id like to see more of a reason than the grants said so. Understood any others discussions on this item if not ms. Casco roll call vote on the severed item roll call vote. Thank you ms.

Thank you. Next speaker. Hello chair peskin im a district 56 resident moved here in 1999 a local policy advocate as someone that lived here over a time period the city has changed the idea that we are talking about nothing less the citywide requirement more Affordable Housing for my neighborhood is completely insane the situation is way, way worse than the citywide requirement was instituted and pulling back instead of moving forward will be as insane as cutting back on Climate Action at a time things are a new level of bad if we think that our action at the federal level is counterproductive the same thing it true in the housing policy in San Francisco we need more Affordable Housing than we have by such a magnitude whatever policies instituted will not be enough so we need to be aggressive and be here kabul for more Affordable Housing unless the policies with the city and county of San Francisco results in all of us forced out of the city that is one unhappy way away for many of us not a Sustainable Way to run a town thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is richard a resident of district 5 and the i took the day off of work to be here i support the continuance i refute the package for this item seeing this the Planning Department and commission supported it being aligned with prop c in 2016 prop c which provided 15 percent for low and very low income and also referred the nexus study in november of 2016 and that showed the impact of one hundred units would be 37. 6 condos or 31. 8 apartment for 120 ami i believe the legislation should be amended to provide more Affordable Housing for low and very low income households thank you thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is laurie live in the inner sunset a member of united action he support the continuance and like to see continued even longer and until after the prop c inclusionary ratios are settled the conversion of those two district to ncts have a Density Bonus Program for 9 blocks of fillmore and 12 of divisadero the affordable inclusionary requirement must be greater than than prop c over and above the prop c ratio it must not be a divide and conquer that pits households against each other and adversely impacts the low income households needs to be put on hold pending the inclusionary ratios and add to that each of the levels thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon. Im denise and lived and worked or lived in the area four thirty years as a retired person im concerned about Affordable Housing since i rent but im more concerned for on the people and families difficult times living here in the city people have been here a like it or not that be are uprooted i support the continuance and want to see more Affordable Housing worked out so the low and very low income people can find housing it makes for a much better city thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon, supervisors im tony robles, housing organizer with the senior disability action collaborative.

Thank you afternoon my name is connor ryan a resident of San Francisco for 419 years and lived in the north panhandle for 13 and support the continuance for the legislation because as it stands it is flawed if were going to retain nothing like a difference San Francisco we must have Affordable Housing for all but if were going to renegotiate and start changing the rules of the game we shouldnt be negotiating on the backs of the most vulnerable and the low income people of this city so i support the continuance and support further study on this very flawed legislation thank you for your time.

It is pressing good afternoon, supervisors and first of all, lets put to rest this kind of legislation by proposing to house people are 140 ami will house teachers a reason the Teachers Union didnt allow that kind of argument that continuance i support it that will give london breed and the city an opportunity to turn offer a new leaf when it comes to develop this means actually advocating so for the community as opposed to to advocating for the interests of developers that is what weve seen for the last two years from london breed on this issue since the original give away this legislation seeks to address what that means during the time before the next hearing i hope is actual communication i feel for the folks that took time off from work they knew they would introduce send an email to gus that is basic requirement to engage in respect dialogue i want to echo the sentiment we need a public hearing to get Community Input on this lets Work Together to insure we have had more Affordable Housing on divisadero and fillmore not less thank you very much. clapping. seeing no other members of the public Public Comment is closed. And thank you all for your testimony and i hope that by may first, well fourthed something not more hard working to do is there a motion to continue to may 1st. So moved. Made by supervisor tang and supervisor jeff sheehy without objection that will be heard on may 1st madam clerk please read item no. 2 item no. 2 170202 Green Building code requirements for installation of electric vehicle chargers. In New Buildings or those under 0 going major alterations. Supervisor tang. Thank you very much and thank you for your patience to all the staff that working hard on this readiness ordinance existed to talk about how we are trying to really led the charger and you push the envelope for electrical vehicle adoption what were seeing is demand is growing in the bay area around electrical vehicles and what we need to do is so get our Infrastructure Ready to set great example for the region and the rest of country lastly about before i im going to turn it over to the department of the environment debbie want to thank everyone that worked hard on the issue and, of course, deb reaping and others from the Mayors Office calling names so San Francisco, california hopefully one day people like me can go ahead and drive an electrical vehicle here in San Francisco so with that, im going to turn it over to director ralph yes, maam e he will 101 for the major amendments and after that have to continue to the following land use and Transportation Committee hearing. Thank you supervisor tang thank you to the land use and Transportation Committee for hearing us today, i want to start by pressing my gratitude to mayor ed lee and supervisor tang for your leadership and Partnership Working for what i consider to be a bold move but a move that reflects great stakeholders engagement, 234rek9 and meaningfulness when it comes to the future of electrical vehicles here in San Francisco so what im going to do a little tag team with gary hooper well set the context why we need to do that now and who is at table and United States of america u im going to turn it over to barry that will talk about was that the ordinance structure does and the amendments to make adjustment to that framework in that ordinance so as you can see San Francisco has very bold Carbon Dioxide goals in fact, weve pledged as a city and the supervisors signed off to reduce our co2 emissions 80 percent 0 below 1990 by 2050 the point to get where we are to percent below our 1990 levels need to set up policies today that pave the way for that achievement in the future so the way we talk about how well get there is with the very simple Climate Action zero water 50 50 percent of trips in constitutional modes theyre our transit first get people out of cars walking and biking to streets and make that easy for people to ride transit parking minimums all the things we had to get to 50 and beyond one hundred a 100 percent renewal electrical for one hundred renewable and looking all the other source of energy ill come back to that in a minute and roots how well heal the planet by tearing up concrete by our sidewalk Ambassadors Program that supervisor tang is to active on is also using our composite on land to actually increase oil fertility and skewer carbon that is one element has to do with are Transportation Fuel so if in 100 Percent Renewable Energy well have to get off the fuel have to switch in natural from diesel to gallon that is about how to get off of gasoline vehicles and electrify the Transportation System so california why now california as supervisor tang said leads the nation were a state that totally gets the need to buy electrical vehicles and San Francisco bay area lead california we have a resimply audience in the San Francisco bay area our governor is very gun hoe on electrical vehicles and set very Ambitious Goals for the state i too said these that to meet the statewide well have to get off of gasoline and diesel so have many vehicles on the roads electrical vehicles theyre looking ways to do it is interesting to be mandated that 22 percent of all new sales of vessels in San Francisco by 205022 percent will be electric the state is setting goals and happen at the local levels what will we do in San Francisco to be ready for the vengeanvessels supervisor tang that figures out out how to drive an electrical vehicle we need convenient charging with the costs of electrical vehicles down we need a birth range of the electrical vehicles and the variety of choices not everybody wants a tiny such an some people want a Station Wagon or a truck we need choices those are the barriers this is my favorite slide it is one thing i didnt but i want to show you weve been hearing if or from people concerned how do you know the demand is there youre asking us how do we know there as demand for the electrical vehicles well, that is a slide i saw in a presentation in norway that talked about the norwegian experience in the uptick of vehicles it is for many years it was flat until about nodding when the curve up took sdraufk so what happened been 19090 and 2010 all the things in San Francisco, california were doing it you stop there they work all the policies we put in place infrastructure incentives and hov lanes maybe not enough what happens in norway about to happen here next year that is at Car Companies kicked in started to give the customers a wide variety of electrical vehicles so weve been preps in california this legislation will make sure that the buildings that are built in the future are ev ready when the Car Companies come we know about well be ready to take advantage and meet those bold goals we have as a city and as a state and frankly, were not alone not something that crazy San Francisco is coming up with we have cities crossed the bay area they do it defendant their Housing Stock is different were sharing information and workouting to come up to meet the needs so weve been working for a year and a half this is the variety of people that come to the there is a motion on the table weve been working with Affordable Housing and residential builder and largescale developers and contributions and the i e w to the gratitude of the department of building inspection this will be implement and able to understand that and make that work and make that feasible weve that working closely with tom hui and ron and all of them come to the table with us to bring to you a piece of policy that is meaningful that is measured that is Cost Effective and that will set us up for the future we want and finally i want to say that two commissioned have voted on that the Building Inspection Commission and the commission on the environment support it unanimously you have those resolutions in usual packet were proud of their support an indication how much effort into this piece of legislation so with that, im going to turn it over to my colleague barry who will go through how this works and what the amendments mean today and happy to answer questions. Ms. Raphael with the wide range of stakeholder and effected parties you k34ug9 with did that include the San Francisco Apartment Association. They expressed concerns or less your intention to answer the concerns their concerns will be addressed ordinance and baraka speak about the specification of their concerns so youll, recommending to the sponsor of this legislation some. I think we can work through the concerns and see if the amendments are needed im not sure well need to change the ordinance to address their concerns. Kay. I look forward to hearing more. Great. Good afternoon members of the board show i precede. Go ahead, please. So the ordinance as proposed as supervisor tang outlined was focused on flexibility and being both programmatic about the up front costs at the new construction as well as planning for the future so the core of that is a requirement that Electrical Service. Sir identify yourself for the record. Im barry with the department of the environment. So the core of the ordinance the Service Needs to be sized to provide for seamans charging at 20 percent of Parking Spaces with that level of service be able to expand the parking using charging management stmgz systems in the future to up and including all Parking Spaces in the facility sthep within the building electrical Distribution System the ordinance requires 10 percent of spaces your understanding as easy as possible to a charger and find a fuel credibility of 40 ams from the relevant Electrical Panel to the individual that Parking Spaces the ordinance proposed for an additional 10 percent of spaces more a conduit to up size the circuits as desired and again, provision for remaining space for capable of charging and a summary outlining it in more details in this slide a recommended amendment to the ordinance but there are summarized in the slide with the striking. At the risk of wasting more paper do you have a copy because those screens are ancient are completely we cant see them. I dont have a copy. The first slide that deb was showing from norway im sure everybody in the audience and watching that on tv can see it but the 3 of us that makes the decision cant. I salute you for ahsha safai paper. I have a laptop i could loan that. You dont want to give me our laptop. Well continue this item anyway well visit this again but wander we cant use our screens. Thank you. I apologize for that. The the biggest substantive change striking the flexibility requirement for the 10 percent of spaces to eliminate the requirement for any conduit or full credibility for the spaces and then for all remaining spaces rather than rather than an Electrical Design for each parking space the ordinance will require a programmaticly installing the conduits 3 could extend the worry and adds spaces for an Electrical Panel for the charges and charging that and the other change suggested categories that are suggested to the ordinance is addressing a provision to the environment code that requires the owner or the Homeowners Association in the building to annually notify the tenants of the availability of electrical vehicle chargers theyll have the opportunity to come to terms on installing an a. D. Charger if they deserve with the consideration and up front for all stakeholders it has been cost we partnered with the city of oakland and fremont to develop this proposal and have a consultant shared between the 3 cities proud the Cost Effective reports looking at the sensitive category of Smaller Development prairie Affordable Housing and the range of additional Parking Spaces of such facilities two scenarios one with 10 Parking Spaces and another one with 60 if you were to require that 20 percent of spaces were turnkey then or 10 spaces that will be two turn could he an 800 incredible costs you scale up to 60 Parking Spaces that is 12 turnkey spaces again, this is incremental costs of 10 for Parking Spaces one and 75 what was a number of stakeholders were careful to point out in newer and larger buildings that have a greater amount of parking a typical of housing we rarely see them in town you have a considerably more opportunity for electrical extra for transforms on the customer side of the electrical meters the run of conduit extends from the interest would individual Parking Spaces increases and, of course, it is going to be professional union labor to build this large property and there is a consideration there so overall cost is large for those facilities we apologize there are a number of provision for the control of costs directly address the concerns that were raised by a number of stakeholders including the apartment of association and really fall into two category one for new construction where the design of the building and the provision of electrical extra in the building youll provide electrical infrastructure in a building but one element that can be unpretty bad e predictable in the costs the cost of upgrading the portion of grid specific for your service is something the developer can bear the cost of it but the if the utility has to make upgrades it is not related to project size so consistent with the Green Building code that will maintain a cap of 400 per parking space so at the same level with the existing electrical vehicle and more for residential buildings one maintaining that same cost cap the upgrade of Service Necessary and second the ordinance for existing buildings only applicable to a major objection this depiction has been in the Green Building code of projects 25 thousand expedite that includes the significant structural work and is defined in separate requirements administrative code by the department of building inspection but consistently. I dont know if you saw the chronicle piece with the Seismic Safety Program for soft story buildings and the apparent rate of compliance projects but that i assume some of those projects might trigger this and have you done any thinking whether or not this will increase the costs of seismic retrofit and running into one another and our thoughts. A fantastic question the third criteria is for the emotion navigating in addition to the significant structural work needs to be significant alterations for mechanical or electrical and plumbing so common in a seismic retrofit project to pull the permit for the schematic retrofit and not entail that goods to the other buildings. There is another public goal this board has i think unanimously supported that is were seeing it mostly in seismic retrofits that is the inclusion of accessary dwellings or unit which still would entail pulling plumbing and electrical so i think there is we should have some i think careful thoughts about the goals if this only applies to new construction i would not be asking those but careful in 2015 the city mandated what is if you read the article the reason we have half or appears as september is 50 percent is noncompliance not because people dont want to do something about it but the probable cause active costs at the same time, were incentive listing the Affordable Housing in those projects so it should be talking to the people im not sure ms. Raphael the people that be effected were consulted as you represented or at least that is kind of the sense ive gotten over the last 96 hours. Precede. Thank you, sir in in addition lets say the threshold has been crossed and cost consideration there are two or three outs with regards to the ordinance one is this ordinance alone cant trigger an upgrade to the Electrical Service so which will be an important consideration and discussion where youre addressing accessary dwellings to a seismic retrofit project written that will be a typical for that scale of projects to include changing the actual structure for the grid and so what this ordinance in those cases where if the amount of charging is required for new construction requires a upgrade of Electrical Service not within the scope the project allows to scale back for the e b charging for that to accommodate even if it means no charging the second provision where a residential project may petition to the director of the Building Department will constitute a hardship they can allow an be alternative pathway and third this is specifically for not exclusively for residential by residential and nonresidential a finding the infeasibility because of state has requirements for excess ability when provides for electrical vehicle chasing and the existing buildings generally not been with future accessibility requirements in mind when not possible to meet the 0 possibilities we have exemption for all parking space if necessary to not cause on undue hardship. What does that cost for me to prove that. There is a professional cost similar for the cruel design as well. That concludes my presentation. A more detailed summary of the adjusted amendment and ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Supervisor peskin if i may to our point we reached out to the Apartment Association as we did to all stakeholders there engagement became much more focused end of last week, we would be happy between now and next week to sit down and discuss in all the detail that is necessary to see if amendments are needed when we looked at their ask it didnt look like there were amendments needed but if there are well bring them to you. I dont want to put words in your mouth and have present of representation but im under the envision theyre under the envision that applies to new construction and didnt release that until it popped up on the intersect thursday evening. I cant say whether that came from and say were happy to more than happy to sit down and go through step by step every concern and see if, in fact, the ordinance is unnecessarily problematic. Not only on behalf of the the Apartment Association but saying that on behalf of the tenants because to the extent that the city is telling those folks hey mandate retrofit and adding things those costs capitalized costs can urban design passed through and raised rents so this is a complicated formula that has my attention more than 2050. Noted. Thank you okay through the chair so you know certainly i did see the correspondence coming in regarding the Apartment Association and this is a concern you spoke to we had the significant go renovation i want to reiterate that on page 4 it talks about the definition of major alternative sf virmentd clarifies the ordinance is applicable to Green Building requirements since 2008 as mentioned that is already requiring the lead infiltrate or better in those buildings so i think you heard about the very exception that were made to the extent you would not be providing electrical vehicle chargers in certain situations so i will, happy to follow up with sf environment and other stakeholder in the issues they brought to us but perhaps at the time may be go to Public Comment and hear from the members of the public on any issued. Im happy to adopt those and continue a week youll work out it out and why not open up for Public Comment first speaker please. Good afternoon, supervisors brooke with the coalition for better hours while we applaud the efforts as environmentally concerned partners in San Francisco we do point to this as a failure of progress never we approached by anyone from either the st. Josephs the Mayors Office by the commission about this. Were concerned about the issues relating to people or to folks who are doing go seismic to retrofit only those the believes and how to respect that wed like this to be continued are biefkd whatever to put aside to have that opportunity we should have had to address this issue beforehand and never during the process were we reached out by anyone that is a failure and shouldnt be allowed to go forward without our input since the Residential Housing industry is a huge part of this legislation thank you. Thank you, mr. Turner. Next speaker, please. Gamechanger supervisor peskin and members of the board im the director of Public Policy for chair point and pleased to support this legislation that has been sponsored by the mayor and supervisor tang that is the latter Electrical Vehicle Network over 33 thousand charging ports within the every 3 seconds a driver stops at a station and because of that be anchor point have driven many millions and active in the development of Green Building standards throughout california for electrical vehicle since the original statewide for a electrical vehicle or pe b readiness codes were adopted that legislation build on statewide readiness standards and supports the Climate Action stream by expanding assess to clean alternative infrastructure and supporting the g h g of 40 percent blow 1990 levels in 2050 that will address the long term demand for several reasons it includes the measures to accommodate the future for existing buildings undergoing the retrofits and supports others in the long term i agree with director raphael plan and simple pb are the demand is growing and california currently close to reaching ousted 25 percent of sales those are hire workplace the city of San Francisco the u. S. Pb sales had their highest on record and 2017 is way above pace and well see that pg e projects the number of sir, thank you you can submit the rest of our comments we say to diverse everybody the same amount of time thank you very much. I apologize. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors my name is moreen im the director of a nonprofit called charge across town to get supervisor katie tang into an electrical vehicle and all across california we start as a project with the San Francisco indictment back in 2012 helping to promote electrical vehicles in structure in commercial and residential buildings and found we were a little too soon for the chicken and egg problem not enough demand and with the developers and landlord we refocused our efforts and focused on the consumer end our goal to educate the consumers about electrical vehicles and the technology to continue to push forward for California Environmental laws as you may know and the city knows our great mayor knows San Francisco is the ev adoption and awareness we ought pays the rest of country however, charging is a huge hurdle to ease adoption we hear that over and over as we talk to executors across the state here in inform 0 thirty percent of our folks live lack of charging stations and charging options as a hurdle to owning a vehicle again, we talked to homeowners and parttime dwellers 90 percent of ev charging is done at home if keeping you informed they canned plug in theyll not buy the card were here to help to advance the adoption of ev thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello chair peskin jed for 350 is he port this legislation and thank you for all for their work on this we do a lot of work with the bay area Quality Management supervisor jeff sheehy is a board member on and they actually just are approving their climate excuse me their protection strategy for 2050 along the 7 sectors of the economy called out by ab 32 d cashing is absolutely critical of the climate protection strategy where we need to be in 2050 the cost in the presentation for 20 percent is so low compared to the cost of construction and the Property Values are the highest in the country housing is a big profit so much it is in the new newspaper in other cities theyre the property taxes are although i actually oppose those amendments weakening this legislation no reason we need to weaken that legislation at all eventually well be 100 percent fossil fuel for transportation the region is moving there the bay area air Quality Management is pushing us there so the idea were going slow that in some way a baffling to me well be 100 percent electric and some alternate fouls supervisor tang is a caution protective eerie trust for full renovation are not too loss for construction we need to get this done and currently reaching to the next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors im the zero Mission Structure project manager for the development and are you this exists to help to accelerate im here to support the readiness ordinance rapid uptick of the electrical vehicle is key to meeting governor browns idealogy by 2050 that is coming fast on the roads about 200 and 85 thousand of them and were not that far way of from 2025 that is critical in getting to the climatic change and the ev readiness ordinance will enhance the charging stations and there assess in the multiple unit dwellings and workplace charging that is a 92 must if we achieve that adoption and also will likely result in lower costs than for retrofitting the buildings in the future and finally you know california is a leader in Emission Technology and doesnt the to the environment and San Francisco is on the cuttingedge so we applaud what the city is doing and encourage the adoption of this important ordinance thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners chair peskin joel koppel a parttime Planning Commissioner my day job it is the construction city i take care of the constitutional Energy Illustration were excited to see that i want to talk about the construction portion of why this legislation is a nobrainer. For the future then to do it after the fact this completely makes sense our history is involved in the discussion and happy to be in full support of ordinance. Thank you, commissioner. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon again koegd existed to be here to support in ordinance it was to make sure that San Francisco adequately prepares for the vital challenges we know that lies ahead one of the gold to reduce the photo copy that means k345i7b9 new housing to make it the data consistently shows the electrical vehicle is growing we want to acknowledge the hard work and a pleasure to work with them since last november they opt to marry their to make sure the master and housing vendors are involved and whenever one the members has questions they were responsive and whenever a City Department has a new policy proposal that impacts how the housing is in San Francisco we look forward to engaging them when necessary and building this is as collaboration insures the Building Departments and we want to thank you for everyone involved on the issue thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. Eddy executive director of right line defense a nonprofit that works onville issues at Hunters Point we worked with connecting bayview to the policy marking for the California Public Utilities Commission the California Energy commission to move forward to connect to all of a sudden communities this has been the taerlth of resources to make sure that community can get access to solar and Energy Effective and charging stations were in support of readiness we believe that is an important policy to make electrical vehicles more affordable to the Disadvantaged Community and thank you to the advocates weve seen that envelopes so for purchasing or at large vehicles are increased into cool for instance, with the household with incomes excuse me lens three hundred percent will equal to the Poverty Level we see incentives like the battery vehicles 7 thousand the the infrastructure is a huge open o gallows to get an electrical vehicle thats why at California Energy commission and public works continues to shift we would like to see that happen at the local level and then like to thank supervisor katie tang and the Mayors Office and the Sf Department of the environment for this for to create a clean job and cleaner community thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. It will supervisors im the fund and ceo of the services were a San Francisco based company that exclusively snauldz electrical vehicle chargers into apartment buildings were currently in the process of construction in dozens of buildings in San Francisco and i want to express our support for the ordinances and make a couple of comments to help one is according to the Public California auto dealers last month 8. 2 percent of all the vessels registered in San Francisco were plug in so those say a tremendous number considering the population and highlight studies weve performed in with previous go legislation toe state level that had showed for every vehicle that becomes electric youre generating 10,000 a year in Economic Activity by eliminating gasoline 0. 80 on gallons of gone that is roughly three hundred and three hundred 50 per vehicle in Francis Scott keys in the city and county of San Francisco so currently electrical vehicles as well as equal lonely. Thank you. Mr. Chair and supervisors im the director of policies for the center of Sustainable Energy to alert the renewable incur by Renewable Energy we happen to run the project that is the state program for electrical vehicles and for the infrastructure that is charging commit well be administering 200 million in block grant for the state to support the infrastructure i know never to go after safety and one up on numbers and many of the things ill tell you is repeating what my colleagues said from sf environment in the position were in with the data on all the electrical Vehicle Users across the state and to promote additional use it is absolutely true the logic we need to get more electrical vehicle chargers and make that infrastructure affordable and acceptable so we here to speak in strong support of this bill that is elegant and appreciate the amendments and the concerns to avoid additional costs to low income multi unit dwellers to the building residential sector and from our experience the amendments and many of the solution available in front of sf environment can provide those solutions were all to commend this effort and thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. And any other members of the public line up to our right and my left. Good afternoon, supervisors im charlie work on Government Affairs and i want to start off by seeing i think that ordinance makes sense for the new construction but to combat existing buildings ordinance didnt seem to makes sense well appreciate some effort to go biefkt the ordinance and perhaps reconsider how it effects existing buildings i think the department of the environment does great work and support them on many levels unfortunately it is just not a true statement that the managements or managers and owners of the housing are responsible and not on this ordinance the outreach is not there we you know, i watch our hearings our hearings every tuesday and sauce that what billed as new construction the ordinance becomes public on the agenda that was listed on thursday afternoon so we have a number of concerns i had a concern about the definition of the extent of the alteration but the bottom line in the reason the existing building is a different animal the wiring is not there the infrastructure is not there sub metering is not there not considered the vast majority of building were built before 1970 the building im in was built before 1911 so a number of residents we would request a number of amendment that didnt apply to existing buildings well request exceptions for seismic retrofit supervisor peskin runs as a city expense and request for the building undergoing adu that seems like a thing that is the the straw that broke the camels back we ask you thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. Hi supervisors im a Property Owner and probably the only one speaking today as opposed to as you sit here now the policy and im simply echoing the other housing speakers here today this legislation should to the extent that is mandatory should be mandatory on new construction if you with go back and alone to the building inspection hearings that was billed as addressing new construction the lack of outreach is regrettable i hope that will be corrected this week for San Francisco from a perspective the upgrades electrical upgrades can go triggered from the minor changes of the building simply put in a plug in a kitchen can trigger the need to put in a new panel and pg e started talking about new transforms before you know that it is up to one and 50 thousand cost i noted the discussion about exemptions there is a definition between the language of the digest and what is exempted and the language in the code the code is much more vague and work has to be done on that to alleviate what is talked about. Thank you, sir anyone from the public wish to comment for Public Comment seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor tang. Thank you very much for all your comments i definitely took not and will try to circle back to address some of the concerns i did want to just reiterate i think something that mr. Hopper said this legislation is not actually going to trigger or didnt apply to we dont trigger there in ordnance your electrical upgrades the jury traerthsz are additions where the external for memorable go and electrical and or Plumbing Systems are proposed under your own project not through our requirement here under that e b ordinance it is something i hope is clear on pages 4 and 5 under the definition other than we not tried to hide the ball that applies to major alterations it always has been in the legislation we can talk through overseeing for todays purposes id like to make a motion then to adopt the amendments that we have discussed in that sf environment and continue this for one welcome back to the next land use and transportation and then well have our followup conversation in the meanwhile. Supervisor jeff sheehy. Without objection we will adopt the amendments and continue this item for one week and that concludes our agenda were adjourned
