safai for joining us the floor is yours. >> thank you. colleagues today for item one it is an ordinance that amends 2 sections of the planning code this deal with temporary use. first is to allow the city to establish and maintain what we have termed vehicle triage centers. or safe parking cites for unhoused households as temporary uses and changing up to 5 years with 2 possible 6 month extensions after this. the second part of the section allow the existing businesses that operate under medical cannabis dispensary permits to continue until january of 24. with the absence of legislation the accidents under the medical cannabis permits have to cease operations the beginning of the upcoming year, which would lead to closure for many businesses increase risk for alegality of those that rely on this for their medical purposes. would create and support more e lipsit business in the city. on the first point on the vehicle triage centers. we a couple years ago as we started to notice a rise in the individuals living in vehicles and rv avenue and vans. cars on our streets, we were able to work with our community and create a safe place for those that were living in vehicles to access and to transition from more permanent supportive housing. we did this in the upper yard and colleagues were able to come visit. other areas of city that are experiencing more heightened numbers on the street than our community was. we had an opportunity where we were building affordable housing today to use that as a demonstration site that could show the success of this program. we were able to do that back in 2019. for 18 months we housed that and had bathrooms and services. 24 hour security, lighting and many individuals in the neighborhood were extremely supportive. we worked with the local group that worked with us to build support and answer questions from neighbors. we work with mta and public works and the planning department. with the pd, bart police and a host of individuals to ensurety success of this site and thought it was successful it expanded over in the bayview. i know there are other parts that are looking at expand thanksgiving opportunity. we worked closely with d. homeless supportive housing. they were the 1s that we talked about the operational aspects and intergentlemanal. the change will allow us the opportunity to move forward in the city. they will not be subject to planning hearing. which can take months to calendar and get approval. the cites will be upon done as a temporary use saving valuable time that can be used working with neighbors and used working with those live nothing vehicles to ensure they transition appropriately. and having the district supervisor of the area of supportive housing work in a collaborative fashion and in the go through a planning approval process. we are happy of that and supportive and the second part with regard to medical cannabis permits. happy to answer questions i know we have veronica from planning department i don't know if she had anything she wanted to add through the chair? hi. thank you chair mebar and supervisor safai. i'm veronica florez planning department staff. i wanted to share

ray, if you are on am if you could help us? >> good question. >> sure. thank you. chair mebar for the question. and today i'm joined by director [inaudible] also on the call and i will let him speak as they are prepared for the pipeline and happy top provide context. thank you, ray and supervisor for the question. the goal is to transition the medical cannabis dispensaries it would impact as soon as possible. we are asking for additional time we have reached a point in our queue where we are able to process the existing businesses and up until now we were not able to we have not reached a point in the process where we had begun processing all of our equity applications the applications by article 16 we required to process first. we reached a point in the process where we begin processing the existing medical cannabis dispense easier and our hope is to process them soon as possible. plan we put in place and begun processing the applications and the hope they will be processed before this legislation ends. it is a priority of the office. we have reached a point we can process the applications and active low processing them now. >> thank you. >> mr. patele, for give neil i heard this from your office before which is why i'm. can you give us numbers to go with what you said? how many applicants are you there in the queue? how long is it going to take? you know you said before this legislation over but can you give us someplace you'veed lieshg number of applicants per month if i can go through or -- you know any quantifiable markers? >> i appreciate the question. and we can. ray, if you want to take the first stab i'm happy. but if you could take the first shot. >> sure. thank you for the follow up question, chair melgar, to provide the context to the director patele's initial comment, [inaudible] able to create backlog of our equity applications which were more than 300 applications in the pipeline. in the past 2 years. and we were able to stop processing applications [inaudible] including the medical cannabis dispenaies [inaudible] now we are able to process most of them. or part one of the application [inaudible] in 2019 the controller office issued a report examining the cannabis businesses in san francisco. on average. so every equity business it takes exterior from 18 to 24 months for them to get through our public pipeline. however, one important difference with the equity business and these mcd's is they are up and running now. we don't anticipate that will take long for them to get through our pipeline because of a few reasons. one up and running and they received the land use process. i don't believe they will need to take as long as the equity business who will vice president new business to the city. and 2, most them are running as i mentioned. in the second part of that process which includes the build out of the space and to put together the operating plans, i don't believe it would, again, take as much time as the equity businesses. they are up and rung. that is all to say now we are processing them in various stages of our process and our plan is to process them in the next 18 month and most of them will be completed [inaudible]. which is the [inaudible]. >> how many, mr. law are we talking about how many medical dispensaries are in the queue? >> sure. >> so right now there

you, madam clerk, supervisor preston thank you for introducing this item the floor is yours >> thank you chair melgar i will ask the committee to move to the full board to the landmark for turk and taylor streets and the site of the compton's cafeteria riots. i want to thank you chair melgar for calendaring this today and as a committee report allow the full board to take action on this item in advance of the upon transgender, gay remembrance. on the 20th n. may of this year the committee approved a resolution initiating the landmark designation then approved unanimously by the full board. since then my office has been working with plan and community advocates on the ordinance that is now before the committee today. as discussed the site is a corner stone of lbgtq+ history. the august 19, 6 up rising at comptons inspired queer activists and i believe strong low the site deserves to be recognized in the historical context of the lbgtq+ movement but in the resistance and political action of marginalized communities in san francisco. i think it is important to step back at this moment in time especially important for us to be recognizing historic places like comptons across the country. states and localities as well as federal government. are considering and enacting policies this serve to discriminate against the transgender communities what happened at comp tons the queer community in the face state violence stood up and said, no more. and that act of courage and brave's reverberated over time and across generations and inspired people including those transgender, to demand respect, equal treatment and self determination. i should note the resolution to initiate this landmarking process was specific to the intersection of turk and taylor. and thanks to the work of the planning department and our city attorney we were able to expand dh designation to include the physical site of the compton cafeteria riot which was unanimously approved by the historic preservation commission in august. i should also note this gained traction state wide. and in october, the california state historical resource commission voted unanimously to nominate the compton's site to the national register of historic places. which my office provide testimony in support of along with many community leaders. i understand today that most is correct from planning here is to offer a brief presentation i want to really appreciate and state our appreciation for all of the time and dedication he and the department have provioleted to this effort. and before turning the floor to him wanted to thank folks i previously thanked but who have worked on this effort had is specific low sean green and am sam favery wella of the transgender cultural sdrishth who worked with our office to carry had and the legislation forward. also want to recognize jupiter per asa with the transgender district and beyond and also wanted to thank the historic preservation commission for their consideration and approval and my chief of staff works with everyone i mentioned kyle, for his work with the community on this item. look forward to the presentations and answering questions and moving this to the full board. thank you. >> good afternoon chair melgar. moses, planning staff. 2 years of planning experience i have to say it is an honor to bring you this grounds breaking landmark temperature is a highlight of my career. buffer is consideration to recommend to the full board of supervisors designation of the site of the compton's riot of 19 skwiks located at intersection of turk and taylor street an individual landmark in article 10 of the planning code. the intersection of turk approximate taylor by the board of supervisors and located in the transgender cultural district a national register historic district and is on its way to being an individual national registered land mark. the historic preservation recommends designation of the site of the riot and in doing so, the bounds easier to include not only the full extent of the intersection but with extensions to either side that core respond to the length of the store front. it includes the lower building walls of the 101 taylor street building that houses the former dine are. historic commission did recommend that additional measures be incorporated in the future. >> next slide. on the left side you see the bound easier of the sight. note that the photograph is not from that evening. there is no documentation from the august night. the significance of landmark is under criteria a event this is made a contribution in the pattern of our history. the riot is significant for association with the first large scale collective on people marginalized by sexuality and gender resulted in lasting institutional change. surpassing the cooper doughnut impact. dewies and the more important and larger stone wall in time. >> acting collectively the members of community furthered the cause and to enable a greater freedom of gender expression without oppression. after the riot, the city's health and police departments developed programs for the transgender people in san francisco. some of which enable people to gain access to state and antipoverty promise. it succeeded in starting a long process to change society. as presented in the ordinance the characteristic defining features may seem light for preservationists used to physical buildings. this is a fairly unique resource this is a place of an event. it is important to know what makes a place include went right-of-way the spatial relationships of intersection of turk approximate taylor. this is where people in prosecute test fought the police and the community gashthed to mark significant evens and xoeven for the plaque translives matter mural. 10 within taylor the lower 11 feet of the building housed the store front extending north from the corner of turk and 40 feet west if taylor. diner closed in 1972 and replaced by a book store. the present occupants altered the store front butt wall relane. together with the intersection a sense of place reupon mains strong. the dimensions of the former store fronts that contained diner are included. owner consent is in the required the owner don't object to this designation. significant association for an event and integrity are more relevant the location, setting, feeling and association remain in tact. the essential characteristic of an urban intersection are unchanged. work machineship, design and materials are less important the store fremantle under gone 2 changes to 1966 and no longer an active store front the design and materials changes yet it is recognizable for the location, setting, feeling and associations. the only issue that may be of concern is the pending safe taylor street project alcohol redesign physical grounds space and will include measures that was designed with public work and it is transgender cultural district. . i wanted to thank the board of supervisors for consideration and initiating this very important cull roll landmark and want to recognize the historic commission has one of its 4 primary focuses to strife to designate places that are significant for cultural associations especially for marginalized peoples. thank you. thank you. if there is no questions or comments colleagues, why dent we take
