conjunction now when we do rezoning or if saying if we get to 815 and midterm evaluation, do the most aggressive rezoning. i also don't know what is meant by the most aggressive rezoning and anxious about creating language that various groups could come back and say you didn't do what we or judge will interpret as most aggressive rezoning, so we should absolutely be pursuing language and i think it is in here and if not we should say, that says our goal is at minimum the rena numbers and exceed them. but to go further and say the most aggressive rezoning i'm worried about lack of depnition what that means and coming back to haunt us. still struggling with that language unless others or city attorney has anything to say. >> i agree and think i have been persadeed by staff. (inaudible) >> try harder. if we have the general sense from staff that the language put satisfies them not sure we should go further because the document is not just accomplishing the rena goals but going further then that to 1.1.5 and we should use a combination of rezoning on the west side and removing constraints and trying to protect the priority geography area to accomplish that. and if we don't then there is a 815 trigger that tell us to do more. >> you have further comments commissioner diamond? not seeing anything else. staff, i wanted to come back to-again, i apologize it is a policy or action before us and just now i was having rereading it yesterday and this morning. the 1.3.3. so, i just want to make sure the second sentence and maybe i'm being nit-picky but because the concern around protecting inclusionary program is so heightened and i share the heightened sensitivity to it this says we do assessment but the changes made it is restricting or guiding how the changes are made. changes must do the following. i don't know what it means and says the changes-if there are changes they must improve maintain the affordable of inclusionary units. what does that mean? >> i think that is a good question. we need to refine it. >> what do you think we are trying to do? my interpretation of what we were trying to do with the language is trying to say we assess our tiers, look at it, we want to make sure that our requirements are not impeding the (inaudible) we want to reduce staff time needed for it. expertise. make it easier to do our inclusionary program. but we want to do any changes we find must improve maintain the current afford nlt of inclusionary units and don't know if that refers to the nexus or economic analysis done on the inclusionary program or what is that referring to? >> it is another action trat address that that talk about the work being done. this is just addressing (inaudible) the tiers get overly complicated because there are several tiers. it is-then there is different tiers for ownership and rental and state density bonus comes into play there is additional tiers so we will look to simplify that. tier structure and also overall not impact the overall target of affordability generally in the project. there are other actions that reinforce the tax role to look where the inclusionary rate as far as feasibility but this is just getting at the tiers. if we did restructuring of the tiers overall affordability in a project would remain the same. the general number of units remain the same. if we had 80 percent, 60 percent, hundred percent tiers we can probably go all 80 percent of the number and maintain the same level of affordable on a project and simplify- >> got it. >> the tiers which i will say are complex. >> i was not suggesting but having more looking to inclusionary tiers. again, it is-i think what director hillis is talking about and correct if i'm wrong is about averaging of affordability in the units or of the buildsing and that include different kinds of inclusionary tiers in the building itself. as of (inaudible) it is mostly very low income to low income and believe that is also with home ownership as well. >> maybe could change- >> home ownership is low income to middle income. >> there may be-imagine we expand the tiers to reach further and perhaps to have to figure- >> that was more legislative process. >> this [multiple speakers] >> partly because commissioner diamond said about the other not having language in here that gets to a court and they say what does this mean and it means something we are not intending and not sure the language right now addresses it but if folks feel they know what this says i'm okay, i just don't think it says what you described to me. >> maybe changing to average affordable of inclusion units and retain or expand the number of units to get at it broader issue. changes to inclusionary tiers and requirements must approve or maintain average afford bltd och inclusion ary units. >> that- >> expand the number of units. >> i think (inaudible) changes something next current to when this analysis is performed or? maybe changes current to average affordability of inclusionary units. >> saury sorry, we want to be able to show the actions we are discussing and-if - >> to get it in real time to accurately provide the language. >> that's great. >> so, we can edit as we go hopefully and capture it accurately. thank you sfgovtv for going to the computer. >> i will share 1.1.2 i'm okay withdrawing my suggestion based we are not sherbet the legal analysis and can include in the policy section so thank you for making the slide, but i think we'll leave it as is based on what we know today. i hope the board of supervisors it is in the policy section which is several page document. >> apologize, technical difficulties. >> that's alright. this is great. this is the last bullet to make sure those are affordable units. the targeted number and asked around income level. commissioner moore, did you want to add in? >> i just chted to say how difficult it is to speak about things without seeing the final verbiage in front of us. making changes all of them by listen to (inaudible) exact phrases being inserted. (inaudible) under 1.1.5 adding footnotes that reference commitment to public engagement. i want to also make sure that if 8.1.5 becomes necessary based on the assurances made, we sure we are clear on prioritizing affordable housing at that point. >> i think we-i don't know if you can see on your ends the staff created a powerpoint to show the language and go through it it. we will get to the 8.1.5 in a minute. >> (inaudible) because i'm sitting on a small screen and (inaudible) just what i see now 8.1.2 is barely readinable. >> commissioner moore, if you actually hover your cursor over that screen there is a option to move that to the stage and it will increase the size of it. >> thank you mr. ionin. doing that i see your name. that is the only thing i see. >> the other thing we can do is once we get through all this take a short break to e-mail to you to make sure you can read it at a proper size and come back and take our vote once we are settled. >> that would be very helpful. >> also have a break. 1.1.2, is i withdraw unless anyone else feels strongly about needing to have that included. >> my one question is, do quo know where it is in the document? (inaudible) having trouble finding it so want to make sure it is addressed. >> (inaudible) >> do we know where the prop i reference is in the policy document if in there? i know that we heard it is in there but having trouble locating it. >> i believe we'll come back somebody in staff can look for it while we go to the next one. >> perhaps add language and reference on policy. >> i note on 1.1.2 this says including regular general fund allocations. including such as real estate transfer tax but it is general fund revenue source. miriam is checking. >> thank you. why don't we go to the next one? revising to make sure it is clear we have numerical and income target as well. any questions or comments on this commissioners? okay. this is what we were just talking about the tiers program. just trying to make. that is-i maybe misinterpreted. i waents clear of afford nlt of the units for the affordability level of the units which is now what i am understanding versus the cost to rent them or the cost to build them. and so we are talking about the ami group right? >> right. >> i wonder- >> that is my understanding as well in the original regarding the ami level. >> change to inclusionary units and requirements. you had something you said. >> i think if you just change 1.3.3 change current to affordability keep the way it is written you get at the issue you are- >> maintain affordability of inclusionary housing units. >> average affordability. >> that is what it was average affordability. >> just note the board does have the ability to change the inclusionary rate affordability level targeted and controller is mandate today do a study every 3 year tuesday inform that process. i don'ts know we want to preclude the board from doing that. i dont know we are doing that but think we have to be careful. >> i think changing must to should makes more a suggestion that we like to maintain versus that the board must. we wouldn't to have a policy require general plan amendment because it is inconsistent with the housing element. changing to inclusionary tiers and requirement improve or maintain average affordability of inclusionary housing units. and then i do wundser changing number to fraction because it isn't typically a number, it is proportional system or maybe proportion of units. should maintain or expand the proportion of units required. >> are ree following along? >> comments or questions? >> i have a question. in the second part where we change to inclusionary tiers and must retain or expand the units required. since we just changed the must to should in the previous sentsance and this since is going to come out from the tac and board of supervisorsdition should that also be a should retain or expand? >> i would agree. >> yeah. >> i think we concur. >> any ort comments on this one? thank you staff this is really helpful. thes one i think also okay to rest and thank you commissioner diamond for rereading that paragraph many times as well to sigh say to we are not clear what they are referring to when they say aggressive so think we can let it go. >> let it go? >> yes. >> delete that one. >> we can just keep 7.1.1 as it is. and i think commissioner moore commissioner imperial this is addressing concerns you have related to tying the community planning in 4.2 to this action should it be needed. shall consider community engagement in alignment with area 4.2 and areas disproportionately impacted (inaudible) >> thank you. yes. >> any other comments or questions about this commissioners? >> this is breath of government constraints. this is new sentence added since our last meeting. questions? >> i want to make sure that this language isn't going to preclude the adoption and application at the objective design standard we are aiming to move to. it is a question for you director. >> no. >> okay. thank you. >> is this- >> got it commissioner. >> i guess my question, this is a very specific list of just three things. have we covered the full range of the constraints categories of constraints identified analysis. i don't remember if we have good coverage this way? >> to that point i suggest what we could do is instead of having it be the city impose requirement of blah blah it is at the new sentence at the end that says government constraint could be relate d to process, fees design or other aspects of city imposed-- >> you can also use the phrase, including but not limited to. >> there we go. >> someone who had been around the podium before. >> i think he has done this before. >> should we say impact the cost of development? anyhow. that is fine. constraint (inaudible) okay with this one? and thank you for adding that specificity. >> can you back for a second. i think you are missing a comma. the end of design you need a comma. >> absolutely. this would be basically requiring sites between 22-26 and it isn't enough or sufficient we try to boost that acquisition. 50 percent. above whatever we have acquired. any comments or questions? >> that was the end of the list of revisions. i think that covers everything that we spoke about. >> any other comments we didn't look at that commissioners had? i think that does cover everything. why don't we take-commissioner moore did you have something? >> i wanted to ask (inaudible) 8.1.5. shouldn't we spell out that we are prioritizing the production of affordable housing in this particular step? i asked for that but don't see it spelled out. i see reference to implementation program and (inaudible) but i do not see that at that point prioritization of affordable housing production. we are only committing to program goals. >> i think director hillis because it would be a analysis performed by affordsability if we are not performingen oaffordable that is where this focus but if we are not performing on all of them it touch all income levels. >> we look at the tiers so where we are producing if over producing or producing more on the market rate level this action would target affordable. we target where we are not producing. >> (inaudible) basically instilling that (inaudible) if you are under building on (inaudible) >> correct. >> right. >> before we take our break we were going to look where prop i is referenced or property transfer tax was referenced. were we able to identify that? >> yeah, i think we were able to identify it. >> deis it is the plan document if you have it open in section under ajective 4a, the objective is substantially expanding affordable housing for low moderate income house and there is a bullet list of potential funding list at top of page 47 thrird bullet describe the real estate transfer tax for properties 10 milliondler or higher. >> can you repeat the page? >> page 47. >> objective 4 and goes on to list include- >> page 200 of the packet submitted. (inaudible) >> which version- >> does that satisfy you commissioner braun? you can take a look if you found the page. >> if it is in there i'm satisfied. >> alright. let's take a-10 minute break. if you can send that-the slides to commissioner moore so she can take a look at them and vote oen the 3 actions >> during the break it was pointed to me that 1.3.3 could be a little clearer if it is talking about it tiers and if you look at 1.-the other items immediately above it which is about inclusionary. i wonder if it should say inclusionary tiers instead of requirements because that made me confused. it is about the tiers of affordability that is one aspect of the inclusionary program. to assess inclusionary tiers and strike and requirements to address and it remain the same and changes to inclusionary tiers requirements would be removed. it is in 3 places if this is intended to be about the tiers. is that in line with your understanding? >> this is about the tiers. you can say tiers requirement but think tiers is clear. 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 address inclusionary. >> that means we should remove the reference to percentage of units required since that is addressed in 1.3.1 and 1.3.2? [multiple speakers] >> the overall percentage might be addressed in the prior-- >> i think actually then what we should do is have it read, just have the second sentence changes to inclusionary tiers improve maintain a(inaudible) rent i added a second sentence and we can get rid of that. this is about affordability tier? >> can you read that one more time? >> the new language would read, in the first sentence of 1.3.3 it would say assess inclusionary tiers and word and requirements would be struck. >> alright. >> the second sentence say changes to inclusionary tiers and strike and requirements as well should say changes to inclusionary tiers should improve or maintain average affordsability of inclusionary housing units including consideration to rents purchase prices and hoa fees. >> that seem alright to everyone? okay. with this change then i think we are concluded. did you want to add something? >> yeah. maybe it is already covered but this is where i have a edit. with this assessment and analysis that overall this doesn't become a reduction in the number of units. if director hillis you feel we are addressing that in the other actions-- >> so, would leave in the changes to inclusionary tiers retain or expand number of units required. you are saying if it is 18 percent it is 18 percent. if we change the tiers it remains 18 percent. you may configure things. we are at 60, 80 and hundred, 18 percent is divided make everything 80 with 18 percent you maintain the tier. i think you can strike requirements again. change to inclusionary changes retain or expand the percentage of units required. >> got it. >> i agree too because 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 they don't reference specifically maintaining the percentage requirement. >> and then if you can strike the word number that would be great. expand the percentage, not number. great. okay. >> hold on. just to clarify, my understanding what director hillis is required tiers should be maintained so changes tiers-and requirements-i feel we should add that changes-i don't want to change-well, this will be legislative anyway, but changes inclusionary tiers and requirements should retain, because let's state density bonus there-and 5 or 10 percent low income, 5 percent middle income those are requirements of the inclusionary tiers so changes to inclusionary tiers and requirements. >> i think the problem because it is inclusionary tier requirement or broadly inclusionary requirements and all we are-if you look at 1.3.1 and 3.2 they are addressing the broader inclusionary but this just focuses on tiers. >> changing to inclusionary tiers and their requirements. >> that is fine. >> i think that would be better. >> change it again ms. tong. >> feel i'm in a classroom. >> alright. so, the suggesting and staff maybe we should read our changes back into the record because it is pretty significant moment we are in and making changes on the fly and then we could have a motion to make the changes or should the changes be read? >> i think they should be read into the record and motion made to reflect those amendments that were read into the record. >> great. >> could you read them slowly? i printed them out because i came in as powerpoint and want to make sure i catch everything you are saying. >> certainly. you want me to read it or staff read it? >> i'm sorry. >> we can read it. so, for 1.1.2 we decided we will not change this one. we can move on. 1.2.6 we add affordable. the city will target 500-2,000 affordable units in the rhna planning period and revisit strategies as appropriate. 1.3.3, it will now say, assess inclusionary tiers to address financial feasibility to of housing development to increase (inaudible) housing project inclusionary requirements do fot impede or undermine state density law and reduce staff time and need for specific expertise. changes to inclusionary tiers should improve or maintain average affordability of inclusionary housing units. changes to inclusionary tiers and requiremented retain or expand the percent age of units required including with consideration to rents purchase prices and hoa fees. we decided we are not changing 7.1.1. and for 8.1.5 we are revising the last bullet to say shall consider community engagement in alignment with implementing program area 4.2 and areas that may be disproportionately impacted with displacement risk beyond priority equity geography. 8.1.6, will say in alignment with provisions and purpose of the housing crisis act of 2019 government code 66300 any city adopted rezoning or development control shall not impose to constraints to developmentf of (inaudible) a new governmental constraint is city imposed requirement including but not limited to process fees or design that increases the cost of development not in effect january 31, 2023. requirement adopted to specifically protect against a threat to health or safety. and this is last one, 8.1.10. the second bullet we are changing to increase the land banking strategy to accommodate 50 percent more affordable housing units then the capacity of the site acquired from 2022-2026. >> thank you staff. >> thank you very much for tracking all that. >> commissioner koppel. >> thank you to everyone involved. especially our little dream team of instantly getting our edits up on a presentable format. great job everybody. i got 3 decision to make. i can make them in one motion though? let's do this, i move to adopt ceqa findings, mmrp and general plan consistency findings, also approve the recommendation to adopt housing element 2022 update and amendment to the general plan. as amended. >> one very small correction to the last one that we were looking at. if we could get sfgovtv to put screen up again. so, it says by january 2026 the interagency housing element implementing committee and at the end it says the period that are looking at is sites acquired from 2022 to 2026 implying it would go through 2026 so do we want to say to beginning of 2026 or through 2025? a period that allow a committee meeting in early 2026 to be responding to the right period of time is what we are trying to correct. >> i don't know the answer to the question but i think the answer is yes. [laughter] >> can you clarify your question is for the interagency housing element implementing committee shall meet january 2025? >> i think suggesting just the change made in the last bullet. to change the time period they are looking at to be through 2025. and therefore they meet in 2026 and look at what happened over the preceding 4 years. >> that is sensible. >> understood. >> i think that is what commissioner koppel meant when he ampd mended rchlt >> hundred percent. three, approve the initiation to make further amendments to the general plan. >> second. >> if no further deliberation, i think we landed on a motion that would adopt ceqa findings and mitigation monitoring and reporting program, adopt a resolution adopting the housing element 2022 update as amended and read into the record by staff and conforming general plan amendments. and then initiating possible amendments in the future. on that motion- >> before we vote, i want to-before we vote because i want to recognize staff that have put in many cases years into this effort. miriam is online because she is sick today and has a broken leg and kind of got to this point where we are at but james and malena who have been there from beginning (inaudible) not here but started this effort, josh and lisa chin from our city wide division, wade, nep, deborah and liz white, reanna and liz (inaudible) (inaudible) who is not here and shelly (inaudible) and our wonderful city attorney andrea and audrey. >> let's break protocol and give everyone a round of applause. [applause] >> any other comments? >> no. >> (inaudible) >> on the motion- [roll call] >> so moved commissioners, motion passes unanimously 6-0. congratulations aeb everyone. [applause] >> this will place under the discretionary review calendar forim 9, case 2022-003765drp. for property at 110 32 avenue. discretionary review that close out the 2022 hearing schedule. >> good evening. david winslow. the item is public request for discretionary review. to construct third story horizontal addition to 3 story single family dwelling. the dr requester-sanford gar finkal the adjacent neighbor to the north is concerned the proposal will significantly impact light and privacy. the pr posed alternatives are separate the west facing roof deck from northeast facing area with short wall or parapet attached. to condition the northeast portion of the roof as on ocpayable roof deck. three, elil name doors to this portion of the roof and four use glass on the lower floor new windows. the department has received no letters in support or in opposition to this proposal. staff confirms support for this as it not only complies with the planning code but also residential design guideline articulate building to minimize impact to light and air. the project propose s a 200 square foot rear extension to third story setback 8 feet 4 inches from the property line over existing roof deck. the remaining portion of the northeast roof deck at third floor is minimally visible by proposed addition. new guardraid proposed to be glass with distance between the edge of the deck and rear wall of the requester being approximately 20 feet. adequate to insure access to light. and the deck location and distance do not also seem to pose undo burden therefore staff recommend not taking discretionary review and approving. thank you. >> thank you. >> dr reest requester. >> thank you commissioners for the opportunity to listen to my request for discretionary review. my name is sandy garfinkal and been in my residents for 49 years, and my connection rear yard connects to the applicants, so the back of my house, my bedroom kitchen dining room is 20-my windows are 20 feet from the north elevation of their house. talking about 3 windows, but to get in perspective, what i'm talking about is correcting their building application. their building application states that the buildsing application expired and the planning department asked them to do a new application so they referred to the new application referred to the approved permit application numbers--the approved application numbers say replacement of all windows in kind. there 3 windows 20 feet away that face me that are fixed absecure glass. all i'm asking is stay with these building permits, no changes, nothing extraordinary, just keep the three windows the way they are. they want to change the location or the size that's fine. but, the new application does not say that they were replaced in kind. we have a dilemma. i tried to resolve it with the owners and their architect. i hired a consultant, a frnd of mine to talk to them. she walked through with them. the architect and he seemed receptive and now they shut me down and won't discuss it. so, all i'm asking for is the status quo. the application they referred to says replace the windows in kind. there is 3 windows that face me. that is all i'm asking for. do you have any questions about anything or-? oh, the planning department mr. winslow said that they don't enforce any private agreements between neighbors. that's fine, but the permit says replace in kind, not anything interaction and reasons why. it is permit says replace in kind. that's all i'm asking is to replace them in kind the three windows. the other stuff they can do what they want. please ask me any questions any reason why not or why. >> you have a minute left and we'll ask questions when we are have our time. thank you. >> very good. product sponsor you have a 5 minute presentation if you need it. >> good evening. members of the commission, sam call the architect in the represent the project sponsor. this project started maybe 3 years ago before pandemic and it was a permit to add the sularium to the top of the roof and it was approved and due to the covid and everything construction didn't start until beginning of this year. and then there is a neighbor that filed a complaint and inspector came and said your permit is expired so you need to renew this entire permit. basically we resubmitted the same design as we did before and went through the whole process of doing neighborhood notice and getting a preapp meeting with the neighbors, so we come to planner saying everything is okay accept now our neighbor decide to file a discretionary review saying that he's losing his light and shadow casting on his property, but in the package that i prepared for the commissioners, i have studied the shadow during all times of the year and i think that the planning staff sees that there is really very little impact to [no audio] >> if you are calling in or online you need to raise your hand or press star 3. seeing no request to speak commissioners, public comment is closed. you have a 2 minute rebuttal. >> i don't understand--i asked the architect to discus it. i'm not talking about anything accept 3 windows that the original permit said would be replaced in kind and i did hear him answer that question--was i wrong? shadows the window-anything else they want to do is fine, but the original permit said replace the windows in kind and they can do anything they want but i think there are 3 windows involved and i want them replaced in kind. he can change the location and change the configuration but i want what's on the permit. that's all. i didn't hear him address any of that. thank you. >> project sponsor you have 2 minute rebuttal. >> members of commission, sam cong. i just want to say that the project sponsor application on the dr was very clear about all the issues that were brought up regarding shadow and privacy and all this. now he is changing his argument on just windows. why spend a lot of time addressing those issues that he specifically brought up and i think that you are here to make a determination if the requester argument is justified or move on with the project so appreciate your consideration. thank you. >> thank you. mr. winslow i want to make sure i understand correctly. there is renovation to the house. you can see it is substantial. that includes sularium and also includes replacement of additional windows given the look of everything and the dr requester you are saying you replacing windows with absecure windows or not? hearing different things and not sure-i want to make sure that-maybe ask the sponsor are you replacing the absecure windows or not >> the windows would be replaced whatever was there before, so if it is clear window it is clear window absecure window it is absecure window and we made some concession in our design to eliminate some glass rail balcony that overlooked the neighbor's property, so that he will maintain more privacy. >> i did note that. mr. winslow sounds like for the dr requesting part of the concern the way the building permit described it didn't include the specific language around like for like window replacement even though it sounds that is the intention. am i understanding that right? >> looking at the permit history there was a permit number 2021 that was probably referred to as original permit that indicated replacement of windows in kind. that might been the permit that was expired before the work was done. you reapplied for a second permit that is 2022-o32911 whatever it is we are talking about here. that might have changed those windows from that original permit which is well within the right of somebody to apply for a new permit so the permit we are talking about is the current one regardless of the 20- >> my question does this permit-in the packet where it says the project response he says will install absecured glass and he said he intends to do like for like but it is just the permit doesn't have the same language, is that what--? >> if i look at the drawing on this permit it appears there is replacement of windows not in kind and you can clar ify this. i'm looking at sheet- existing windows becoming enlarged. >> let me clarify. the original permit which expired was for the sularium addition only and subsequent to that we took out permits to do interior alterations and then we also took out permit to do the facade renovation and also replacement of all the old windows with new claded windows so it was a new permit that includes this new work with the window replacement. the original permit didn't have window replacement. >> okay. that is part of the confusion. there is multiple permits and some permits have different items on it the others. i wanted to make sure what we-what we are talking about today. any other comments questions or motions from commissioners on this item? commissioner diamond. >> is there disagreement here? >> it sounds like they are disagreeing it sounds like one of the one permits does not state the windows will be replaced in kind but we just heard testimony that is the plan. >> you want 3 windows that currently have clouded glass or absecured glass replaced with absecured glass, is that your plan? >> architect-didn't catch yourf name if you can respond you intend to replace absecure windows- >> what we intend to do is whatever the glass that is on the existing windows if it is clear glass we replace with clear fwlass, absecured glass we replace with absecured glass. >> are the windows going in the same place?
