Rezoning progress and the Decision Makers choices with zoning action abc real quick what was it create. The eastern neighborhoods plan was they are second reading in 2008. It took 12 years. More than 10 years. More than 10 years. Between 8 to 10 years to create this plan a Large Community effort. How did we plan prior to the eastern neighborhoods plan. So we had zoning in place at that time, in the areas of eastern neighborhood that identified what the land use controls in terms of height and bulk and we reviewed permits in accordance with the wlumd. You took project by project and now the eastern neighborhood plan covet like a map that if you want to build in a certain area either set the criteria you must meet. Thats correct. So my question and dont interpret it as disrespect ill asking on behalf of my constituents that has has many ceqa appeals how do we get rid of eastern neighborhoods plan. Thats a question that is quite frankly 0 outside my area of expertise the implementation of the California Environmental quality act i think that is a policy matter and one that Decision Makers should. So a policy matter so take up with the board of supervisors and even the Planning Commission i see people first ann marie and then and get a legal thinking outside the box. Emery rogers the board of supervisors when they feel a need to update the planning to undertake the efforts to initiate staff to work with the communities to update the policy thats one way it can happen and the board of supervisors can make gentle policy addictions and amend the planning code to the general plan as the zaff has said you can do a moratorium and change in every manner the zoning controls or ask the Planning Commission to engage in a Big Community process. I i know you guys are tired of coming here were tired no. Your not tired im the only one thats tired of that. Oh, another one that is tired. Deputy City Attorney mirena burns. I think that ms. Rogers stated it the entities that can initiate it the Planning Commission the Planning Commission has a long public process and hold hearings and refer them to the board of supervisors that sends the vote up and down to the amendments to the general plan any changes to the eastern neighborhoods a Community Plan of the general plan needs to go through the same process the board can initiate to the planning code didnt have to wait for the Planning Commission as with the general plan amendment so if any amendment is made not to conduct plans to the specific zoning you know density and requirements all those things in the planning code it is something this board can initiate and refer to the Planning Commission for its recommendation recommendation. So selfwe get rid of the eastern neighborhoods plan we can go back to the prior and deputy City Attorney mirena burns. Through the president the state law mandates we have a general plan. Im sorry the subsection of the january plausibleness no state law we have to have a Community Plan that is a planning tool weve chosen to implement the general plan is citywide a broadly brush stroke like market octavia plan, eastern neighborhoods is a broader planning area and sub plans within the eastern neighborhoods like the central soma, western soma. Thank you so i guess my question ann marie and may predate you in the tenure in the Planning Department but it seems like the eastern neighborhoods is giving us a lot of coronation and makes it extremely hard to move the projects i see the for fathers and mothers that thousand it was a good idea as a tool to streamline the process; right . If you have a project that meets the guidelines we dont have to go through certain i even an eir; correct . Thats the ceqa side effect but not an effect of the plan. Okay. Okay. So what do you think if you can look at your crystal ball if we getting into the weeds of the eastern neighborhoods plan how much work it will cost hear me out what would San Francisco what would the San Francisco process begin to look like. We have a good crystal ball for that when the eastern neighborhoods eir was underway we look at the effects without the plan so the ceqa at that time, said the Goldman Sachs impacts for displacement foreperson loss of pdr would be much worse and the communities were engaged if an effort and throughout the plan they were uncomfortable with the prelims through the zoning code and the laws to adjust that. Thank you, Matthew Schneider i heard you had slides or something could you kind of briefly describe what is on your slides. Many of my slides Matthew Schneider had the numbers and have general slides of what the communities benefiwere lookingu could say a benefit with the impacts that came with that note existed before had we probation officer not had the eastern neighborhoods wouldnt have rays the millions of dollars that have leveraged other fees and made the projects on the front burn eerie have a map and happy to go over that but essentially going to provide. Thank you i dont think we need the map at this point but curious to know thank you for entertaining my questions and taking that walk down the infinity road supervisor peskin perhaps take that underway and talk about it offline but a perhaps have it San FranciscoHistoric Preservation commission about the eastern neighborhoods make its third reading. Throat president. Supervisor peskin. Thank you. I have other people that are on the roster. Thank you supervisor cowen the last time it took a decade. Thank you supervisor yee. I video a few questions the staff is correct in terms of what would be easier for to change some of the codes im looking at some legislation to make amendments to the house we look at the 40 percent of multi bedroom units and that will change things also but the question is for the any such effort. I agree the land is part of a entitlements that will prevail. Is thats correct from the City Attorneys. Deputy City Attorney mirena burns. I apologize i was conferring with any colleague and didnt hear the question restate it please. I have sp fear you have two developments of two buildings next door to each other possibly at marketrate and might be built before the Affordable Housing so what would someone moving into the marketrate building to appeal the Affordable Housing because they may find some excuse not having it built i guess she was saying it is part of the deal and it would not be any pail is that true. The appeal is before you now this is the same project the marketrate project and the land dedication of Affordable Housing at least this portion of the project is before you now three quarters that project for the Affordable Housing needs to go through a separate approval progress and approval process at this point well do the Environmental Review and need whatever the planning code it is true that the latter project will need to go through the imprisonments progress and the ceqa process at that point. Can that be appealed. Yes. Able to be appealed. You tell me it couldnt be appealed. Kate hartley i wasnt sure i defer to my colleagues. Im sorry it could definitely be appealed what cant be appealed the dedication that the curing the Mayors Office of housing will still own that lands the Rightful Owner what is potentially appeals whatever actual project that was proposed for that thing. Oh, okay. I dont know how to express that that is really a concern we have to look at it because that is both lesson and now the other comment the Housing Units the number im pushing from the other ended in terms of discussion of what it means to have single families one bedroom and studios are units and basically, when you have two families many of the people that are being pushed out of the mission are families i have a comment about that. Educating hartley Mayors Office of housing we are concerned been that i will say that what the trends we are seeing that families in so San Francisco seek the two bedrooms that the two bedrooms are very, very chief and tlooemz are not as desirable because of higher rent we want to build the housing that meets the needs of low income families and we will work with the communitybased developer to achieve that rate balance of units size. Thank you supervisor yee supervisor kim. Thank you a couple of questions on the Affordable Housing i know that you said that cant give us an accurate number of units that can be built on the lands that is dedicated can you give us a rough estimate of the maximum and minimum given the multiply affordable units. 1 hundred to 1 and 36 and does the Mayors Office of housing have any thoughts or thinking about what kinds of Affordable Housing and little income ranks will be built on this site and 2 will be the typical affordability that is 20 percent of the dedicated to say folks and the balances to households of 50 to 60 percent of medium area income in xhofrn conformance with the tax rules. By the way, they give you more flexibility in terms of funding autopsy thats true and you know within of the things im struggling with in terms of this we dont do a lot of land dedication i think that it was you know a worthy option that was explored in the eastern neighborhood process and one of the concerns in the developments that our office gets to work on length of production even if Affordable Housing to the marketrate so even if theyre not on site we link the certificate of occupancy of the marketrate to the affordable in this case were depending on the city to build the Affordable Housing not the developer so i guess im struggling with how were going to make sure that the timelines of those two projects will sync in line i know that supervisor yees question raiseer concerns about the appeals further down the road with the new residents and master residents coming in and appealing the new environmental approval permits even that go on the Affordable Housing project sites i know you tried to answer that previously with supervisor campos i curious what is the number of land dedication projects on the Mayors Office of housing roster i know i added one last month could you give me a complete list. We have action on brandon and shot well in the predevelopment we got 101 hyde sort of a different procedure coming to the Mayors Office this is the third project that came through section 419. The thirds because you dont consider 101 hyde a land designation project. Not coming through this legislative project. So 4 projects could you give me a better sense of the timeline for how those 4 projects work distinctive the work that the Mayors Office of Housing Needs to do with the flex proposals and the financing opposed. It is in predevelopment we are working Hard Community outreach going on with the architecture work is advanced 801 brandon a time constraint because of the marketrate developer had staging issues we were delayed and at the time, we didnt have the plumbing available we understand the project will be coming to us and he accelerated the reservation were happy to see that coming along and 101 hyde there were funding issues we were going to accelerate that a little bit so we are working on that and. When you say accelerated im happy to hear but in that case the developer committed at a pay for all dedicated costs. There was a 5 million contribution so thats great we when we first received it we thought we cognizant get gap funding up to 10 years thats much accelerated and sorry the gap funding was within 5 years. Uhhuh. And so again what do you anticipate the housing for the housing on this site. As i stated to campos we equipment to rules of evidence a proposal within 4 weeks for the lands dedication he typically we give the developers six to eight weeks to prepare they are proposals and it takes usually for this type of project about 4 weeks to go through the city process with the city and interview the candidates, etc. Than the selective developer takes 12 months to do design and that may or may not be a little bit longer depend on communities input the bedroom size will be important as we discussed the open space will be for those are issues to work out and then the permitting process takes about 12 months so thats the normal timeline for the Affordable Housing great just one more question i probably can do the math were looking at the project before us is 2000 plus marketrate units total is that correct . Could you repeat that. The at the moment number of marketrate units. Oh, one and 96 marketrate housing on the project plus. One and 96 matters of units will be sdpielt for this project if the project is approved and roughly one to one and 36 units of affordable units on this site if we took the lower amount what will the percentage be achieved. If you have a total count of three hundred then the affordable is 33 percent at hundred, however, the way it looked at the percentages the number of affordable units as a function of marketrate so thats 50 percent it will achieve having percent at the low ended. I appreciate that there is confusion in the Board Chamber how we calculate the units and onsite and offsite it is clearly late out in the Housing Ordinance thank you for that clarification thank you seeing no other names on the roster, we will get going and a presentation from the project sponsor or their representatives good evening supervisors supervisor president breed and im steve of marcille the Planning Department explained why the project complies to ceqa and i wont repeat that testimony but focus on the appeal first, the facts the project is code compliant and the incursion ordinance not taking up xhoingz from the board yet 22 percent a total of hundred plus master units we lost 6 units at the Planning Commission hearing theres no condos proposed in addition the project includes 19 thousand square feet of pdrs use in the Zoning District no replacement is required a terrific example how the Mayors Office of housing and Planning Department can maximize Affordable Housing and pdr space isnt mission a point of appellant and the supporters disagree the project has dedication of 19 thousand square feet of lands to moe view the to 46 percent of the marketrate one marketrate units and brts in a 6 Story Building and full ceqa cleaners for the one plus an dedicated lapds and dedicated to moe in a shovel ready condition missouri identified the Gap Financing to construction its building in the near future and 19 thousand square feet of ground floor and art space in discussions over the last week, we agreed to further revision adding 3 thousand square feet to the pdr space on the moe building that incumbents a arts facility and theyve committed to provide 5 thousand dollars in capital to build out the Community Space and agreed to provide 4 thousand square feet of pdr on the marketrate building as substantially reduce the grants for years the project this project is vastly different than 2014 the original plan further 2 and 74 units only pdr and no pdr art space for bmr. More than meets the building alternatives with the appellants prepared in 2017 going for dedication 36 percent to moe and the preservation of 10 thousand square feet after the Planning Commission approved the sites this appeal was filed a few words about the ceqa appeal the appeal it bans an assertion, however, the number of units completed in the eastern neighborhoods including the Mission District is well blow the projections, however, the ones under review the units are approved remain well below including this project in july on july 26th this board object the appeal on the Street Project you made that determination this appeal is almost identical and we urge you to look at this appeal several 100 percent approval just as this c pe dont on fulsome street and on Mission Street 96 unions on shot well street over one hundred on south van ness and plus affordable units on this site the board to determine the eastern neighborhoods ceqa sclaernsz for those affordable will be delayed we ask you not to take that action i expressed with the Planning Department if the pdrs needs to be revised we looked at the context should be in the context of the eastern neighborhood plan not on the c pe of yields projects the c pe included several technical studies with transportation, air quality, noise, Historic Resources and Hazardous Materials and it computed the mitigation measures but not note for review and resulting in a c pe because of the peculiar impacts of this project turning to the appeal the appeal is solely the decision to look at 3 vacant units to create for units one and 39 will be affordable finally it requires conditional approval regardless of a number of replacement units or the number of no others element requires a cu rather it was approval for the large project authorization an oil that had been heard by the board of appeals tomorrow 2 of the existing units were owned and the third was empty those are subject to rent control the 3 existing units are replaced by the marketrate projects plus the one plus on the dedicate lands the Planning Commission required the 3 units above and beyond that is satisfied with the land dedication planning code section sets forth the criteria the Planning Commission must conditioner they determined that meets 15 of the 18 criterias and on that basis project finds that the Public Interest is served by granting the cu we ask the board uphold that sensible position in its appeal the gentleman made no attempt to address the section 317 but want to accept the land dedication on this 70 to units what result in the dedicated lands and commissioner president james it doesnt justify the rentcontrolled units excuse me. However, based on the Concept Design determined the dedicated land can yield one one hundred and 36 units the new pvrment affordable units will meet the criteria for demolition of 3 existing units as testified missouri identity Gap Financing needed to construction the one and 36 units and the moe issued an rfp to choose a developer and should be under construction by plate 2017 or early 2018 as soon as the gentleman has cleared the site and gone through mitigation addressing supervisor yees issue the ceqa about before you covers the marketrate and the moe sites the c pe will be the ceqa clearance for the one and 3 a 6 affordable project and want to point out the earliest on the marketrate is 2019 another 3 years from now and kate described the permitted process for the moe building we completed long before that in 2017 but under the planning code with supervisor wiener he sponsoreder earlier this year year didnt require the projects to going come back to the Planning Commission but can be approved by the planning staff that will afford opportunity for no opposition and the gentleman said a 6 Story Building to be constructed on the dedicated land and claims that moe cant take advantage of the Density Bonus Program it provided up to 3 additional height for the developments and an 8 Story Building can be built on the dedicated land the appellants assert that the proposed demolition of one of the building which was occupied by intermission for the commission not have approved the cu and they addressed this by requiring 18 percent of pdr space and the Commission Found the project makes the adjoin plan as i mentioned the pdr art space can be increased and the gentleman has pledged 500,000 for the art space the same size as the former mission and pledged an additional monies for the subsidized grants ambassador as a Mission Action plan 2020 as confirmed for the construction of Affordable Housing in the mission this is the lack of land the land decade directly provides the land at no cost to the city in consideration the Planning Commission required the plan required 19 thousand square feet and the last thing we found a way to increase that to 22 thousand square feet and is available for the legacy in the site this is a code compliant project consistent with the mission plan, with the zoning, the height limit that is the 42 percent ratio and the pdrs replacement space that appraise 7 million in funding to the eastern neighborhoods money to the Transportation Sustainability fund and the childcare funds we ask the board reject this and allow the project and Affordable Housing to proceed thank you. Can i ask for the reduced years i think i miss it was reduced for what the pdrs or units autopsy for 4 thousand square feet of the pdrs use in the marketrate building. So youre saying the reduced rent youre putting rent control other than commercial space an pdr space particularly. Thats what we offered. I get it. And the 98 units whats the im for those units area medium income units. Those units that moe built. The anarchies. 3 units on the manifesting those are 55 percent of ami a rental project 55 percent and haitily can address them. We will have our typical project for the balance. No whats the area medium income requirement for that the units in general just the standard or is it a higher like 80 percent ami or 50 percent or 55 percent ami. Im im going to turn it over to supervisor campos. Ill pass so as you, you know we were engaged in mediation and doing things that go beyond how the project came out of the Planning Commission i want to make sure i understand what youre saying so can we go back to that my point how to increase the number of affordable units how do we increase availability of pdrs especially affordable pdr can you go back to what youre doing in negative declaration to what came out of plan. The Planning Commission required us to have 12 thousand of pdr space in the marketrate building and 20 thousands of pdr art space in the building thats what coming out came out of the Planning Commission to get to the ground floor weve lost 5 units of marketrate housing that had that been property as ground floor on there under street those have been converted to pdr space the revisions the moe design a inefficient car share parking garage a garage that communicated 3 car share space and a configuration took up 25 hundreds square feet question offered to move those two car share spaces into the marketrate building garage and reducing our patricias by 3 a total of 5 car share spaces in a marketrate garage to both the marketrate building and the other building that increases the amount of ground floor pdr space like 25 hundred to 3 thousand square feet that again niece to be feinstein finally designed. The second thing the gentleman offered money to create a Community Art space in the 10 thousand square feet or approximately that amount. So the total pdrs goes from 19 thousand to 22 thousand approximately, yes. If well, one possibility is that that additional 3 thousand can be used for pdr but could be used more Affordable Housing units ; right . Could be again, the final decision is moe. Can i ask a question not for you or to moe if we are talking about an additional 3 thousand you know square feet in space that can be used for potentially more affordable units you have a sense how many units were talking about if it is 3 thousand if that additional 3 thousand feet is used for affordable units as opposed to to pdr. Three to four okay. Now can we get clarity on the number of units at the beginning of this presentation sir, you gave the number one 99 i believe is incorrect. I dont believe i did the one 99 is our proposal the Planning Commission reduced that by 5 units because they required additional pdr ways to eliminate 5 ground floor units from one 99 to one 94 their bmr units to replace the 3 units that the project was were demolishing a total of one and 91 marketrate and 3 bmrs on the marketrate side. And one and one is the actual number of marketrate housing. Thats correct. In terms of affordable units one 36 is the maximum that is projected depend on what happens; right . Plus and then depend on what happens on the three to four more units. Okay can i ask you about the 500,000 you mentioned can you explain what that is. Thats the capital money to support the build out of the ground floor of the moe building for the communities arts facility. Can you can what do you mean thats a broad term what are we talking about here. Thats a combination of a gallery space other spaces i think that is what people have in mind as a potential arts facility on this location as a similar concept that would be operated by Community Nonprofit or more than one Community Nonprofit a combination of program space, gallery, Performance Space other Community Artists. It will be run by a community member, player what does that mean. Moe and its developer will go through a process of celebrating. Maybe we can hear from moe. Kate hartley well want the developer to take the lead and others developer being a Community Members on the team we have ongoing some arts dedicated space and other mission developments well be able to understand the market better and learn from that lease up as the gentleman said the space can does have the size to accumulate a dense gallery or Office Work Spaces that can be used by artists also there are organizations in the city that do master leases of that space so we have good operators in the city that can participate and look at it for the Development Team to bring on those players. Now just a final alteration out of the Planning Commission they designated 12 thousand square feet for pdrs one thing that was confusing in the process do they say anything about whether or not it is marketrate or belowmarket rate out of planning. It was completed and marketrate. So you said that youre doing well pledge to contact 1 3rd of the 12 thousand limit that to 250 a square foot for 55 years okay. With the minor increase over that period of time well pledge we will engage the sprofrs to send he property tenants our way to make sure that subsidized space goes studio a tenant. Okay. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, at this time it is time for Public Comment so if you are interested in speaking in Public Comment not general Public Comment renewable for the appellants please come up step up to the platform as a reminder youll have sir unfortunately you poke so for the appellant.

Im a i have a Small Business around the corner a board member the Mission Creek association we like to see the improvements productive not left vacated in a way that is meaningful and resonates with the communities from what im concerned read and seen the ground floor project does that how it provides much needed housing as my colleagues said air force one and 36 units thirty percent will go to homeless and special needs that will provide artists communities and up spaces that is really, really important and near and dear to my heart to have it going through any communities obviously many artists in the community cant find spaces and must relocation to the east bay and provides space for hanging how the gardens and cafes and Community Centers and provides a vibrant visually enhancement to the neighborhoods i would urge the board to vote in favor of this bryant Street Project thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Thank you. Good evening supervisors my name is alex a research with carpenters local 22 a proud member of the local and just in light of something that was said earlier im concerned not worked on a job sites im concerned worked on carpenter projects as much as the person that smears all the men and women that the cia has first of all, talk about the shorted history of our involvement locals involvement with this project involved and a half we knew it wasnt going to fly we got up on the developer the gentleman made the decision better to work with Carpenter Union and our organization and we really worked to turn this thing around and bring you the project today i want to speak specifically to the concerns directly to many of the supervisors since supervisor campos is the only with an the first one here immediately wanted to direct talk to first of all, we all know lands for one and that of units didnt come cheap or easy your inspected successor as if we cant do one and 36 units and someone is giving the city the lands that will not happen ever supervisor avalos has stepped out supervisor avalos was one of the big proponents the unit contractor takes citibuild we got a write up and supervisor avalos knows 2 takes more than public works and this will help supervisor peskin i hope i remember how hard mission assess fought for land designation in this this process this is really amongst the best we were in the project 8 years ago when building the eastern neighborhoods and contrary to some popular statements here we approved that right as the economy was collapsing not when the to the supervisors as a whole and urge you to stand against the sin cynicism whatever when a project gets this kind of treatment where we talk about building Affordable Housing and have people saying we dont want that and talk about the Blue Collar Workers hundreds of people working on this project for getting through the project and the same goes for the multiplied planning process whats the point of doing this for 10 years. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening my name is a lisa and here to talk about item 43 the california save bill 1289 im sorry maam, weve not opened up for general Public Comment that will be after we finish with that particular appeal i apologize thank you. Next speaker i guess good evening instead of good afternoon my name is Michelle Jones the coowner of the auto shop im here to tell you as a Business Owner in that location for 3 seven years were in support of this project being built when the scoping was changed from pdr to land use we knew there will be urban development when the gentleman worked with us and helped us move 4 blocks away in the mission and still in supervisor campos district my husband and i have owned that business for 6 years and hes worked for 17 and lived in the neighborhood in supervisor campos district for 2 two years this project spelling needs to be built the gentleman has been straightforward and straightforward with everyone of the tenants in that project he helped us to relocate if we wanted to stay in the city one attended purchased his own building inspection and the only the building was no where near and nice as this building we have the ability to hire more people and have a nicer environment strait up the gentleman said everything he did and he was honestly and forthright he did everything to help us move and he at this time 34 blocks away from from we had a homeless person murdered one a half of a block of our new location if people had a place to go and live in housing maybe theyll not be murdering on the street and i ask you to build 24 project thank you. Next speaker im a resident of the missionary specifically pretty close by the construction live on bryant between 20th and 21st about a block away i guess first ill speak to you know a lot of the sentiments that the appellants talked about in terms of concern over general displacements certainly as a mexicanamerican living im sympathetic ill say that given the large amount of Affordable Housing that is part of this proposal that you know stalling it or you know putting the development into a halt threatens the increase of Affordable Housing in the region which you know, i think to anyone that is concerned about people having Affordable Housing in that region that should be a concern about blocking the project i think secondly, you know when it comes to talking about the Environmental Impact of the project people that have spoken previously to me talked about the down side in terms of crime i walk by that area frequently and walk any daughter frequently by that area there is a lot of crime you see Police Officers there frequently and people are breaking into the building and people getting assaulted in that area so when i evaluate the net impact of constructing and renovating that area versus leaving it in a status quo states not ideal for me, i have to error on the side of renovation versus you know what i see going on what is day to day in that neighborhood. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening supervisor president london breed and supervisors my name is Richard Davis im a homeowner and at the Union Condominiums at 2125 bryant street those condos are coming priced of over 70 members and on the owners board as a private citizen the bryant street represents over two years of discussion and compromise with the community the interesting note as proposed today bryant street resist 100 percent the demands of the mission as an activists and transforms vacant warehouses into the vibrant use apartment rental Development Including three hundred plus in 19 thousand square feet of pdrs and art space bryant street representatives from the largest Affordable Housing projects in the mission by a private verbatim a total of one plus certainly proposed thirty percent of the affordable units will be offered to homeless, special needs resident and housing aribnb no more than 30,000 a year thats social justice per Mayors Office of housing and Community Development has identified this as a nonprofit affordable partner if successful this appeal will kill the one and 91 units of marketrate housing but the Affordable Housing project that shares this site please deny the appeals and vote in favor of a much needed accountable project.

Were pleased a Critical Mass of people are keying into knowing their relents and understanding what had are the next steps to take and theyre figuring out who to talk to not only the contractor by the mustards and the architect and the Structural Engineers and getting the full picture of what options are necessary and being proacti proactive. So im very pleased to see the soft Story Buildings 99. 9 percent complies the highest of the program of this scale of the history a citywide effort high Blood Pressure in every stretch of San Francisco to understand real risks associated with earthquake and those are universally agreed on. At some point you need to gather information ill be talking to another engineer to come out and take a look at it and basically get a Second Opinion im for second and third opinions it is inspiring to see all the Property Owners that want to do the right thing and for proactively figuring out what the solutions to get them that. What is amazing to me here we are over two years of first retrofit fair and at the time we are rh2 out to contractors to help us and reaching it out to Design Professionals that soft Story Buildings is in any and people understanding how to comply now it is different an industry that springs up as a result of the their professed and gotten the costs down with lower Financing Options and these are defined and now the gene progression and have the buildings are buildings and the compliance we understand the 2020 one and 20 thousand San Franciscos 15 messenger of our population will live in a retrofit building those people buildings or lives in buildings with 5 or more residential building is soft story and wood frame and built before 1978 that house that one and 20 thousand san franciscans. San francisco is being the leader in getting in done and as you may know los angeles passed their retrofit law two months ago at the sort of taken San Franciscos lead on the one and tenth anniversary as the residents San Francisco this is a road map to the city and going to give us us plan are these to keep folks here on a disaster and steps to build a resident waterfront by 2020. This involves more than one and 80 individuals and over 60 nonprofits and other companies this is a huge plan and what are the challenges we realize that people are concerned about climatic change, Sea Level Rise and not only the affiliated hazards but things hike youre our amp infrastructure and consumed by social and other things we see this in society everyday and how we try to mitigate those are ultimately a direct result how resident we are after earthquake other issue out of the strategy of the concept after a major earthquake of keeping 95 percent of population here in San Francisco thats the single best thing to help a equitable recovery to keep people here keep people back to work and kids in school and a residents of normal after a disaster. Alliance energy in our partner undertook comprehensive bid process we interviewed a halfdozen of folks who wanted to have a part of our soft Story Buildings are ordinance so Alliance Energy project programming is a clean assess energy a special financing that is done using the taxed authority of local multiples and one of the interesting features the loan is tied to the property not the vital if an individual didnt have good credit but it is another option for people not able to comply to find another avenue the assessment is actually places on the property and the builds for in that come literally a line item on the tax bill thats how you pay off the segment and tax. 20 or thirty years is all paid up front there are advantages your property tax well it is important to give people on option and many private banks that provide loans over a are shorter term we wanted to create a longer pay back term. I think the next step for Property Owners after at the create themselves to take the plunge and quit the working downey done and have works of work done right of the right rest of the Property Owners can understand this process across the city. We need to do it. It is safety you know thats the bottom line safety. Earthquake safety a everybodys responsibility that is providing the resources that people need to get done if you want to know more of the resources as a san franciscan please visit the hi. Welcome to San Francisco. Stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. Lets look at common earthquake myths. We are here at the urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco. We have 3 guest today. We have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. I want to talk about urban myths. What do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance . Hes sleeping during those earthquakes . Have you noticed him take any special . No. He sleeps right through them. There is no truth that im aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. You hear the myth all the time. Suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something i hear they are aware of small vibrations. But yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. Today is a spectacular day in San Francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. Is this earthquake weather . No. Not that i have heard of. No such thing. There is no such thing. We are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. There is no relationship. I have heard its hot or cold weather or rain. Im not sure which is the myth. How about time of day . Yes. It happens when its least convenient. When it happens people say we were lucky and when they dont. Its terrible timing. Its never a good time for an earthquake. But we are going to have one. How about the ground swallowing people into the ground . Like the earth that collapsed . Its not like the tv shows. The earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but its not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes. Its not going anywhere. We are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. Southern california is moving north. Its coming up from the south to the north. You would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. Maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. For better or worse. Yes. This is a tough question. Those other ones werent tough. This is a really easy challenge. Are the smaller ones less stress . Yes. The amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. I think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4. 7. So small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future . Not anyway that you can count on. I have heard that buildings in San Francisco are on rollers and isolated . Its not true. Its a conventional Foundation Like almost all the circumstances buildings in San Francisco. The transamerica was built way before. Its a pretty conventional foundation design. I have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. Is there anything of value to that . Yes, if you are in your room. You should drop, cover and hold onto something. If you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. If you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, its not a bad place to be. The reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. You are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. You are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. You want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. Where can i buy a Richter Scale . Mr. Richter is selling it. We are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. They are not available. Its a rather complex. In fact we dont even use the Richter Scale anymore. We use a moment magnitude. The Richter Scale was early technology. Probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. Is that true . Loma prieta was different. The ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. So anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. We are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to San Francisco and a fault totally independent. Much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. So people who were here in 89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isnt really the threshold of damage. When you triple it you cross that line. Its much more damage in earthquake. I want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for
