So i do not support this motion. I think we have to act with urgency. I think it is high time we have an oversight body for a department that has ever expanding budget. Ironically, it was the mayor who didnt support prop c because she said there wasnt enough oversight over the department. So how all of us are not supporting this department right now is absolutely beyond me. So i would encourage all of my colleagues to not support the motion to delay this to march and to act with the urgency that our constituents demand and deserve. President yee supervisor mandelman . Supervisor mandelman thank you, president yee. I want to echo thanks to supervisor haney for the leadership youve provided on a number of issues, and particularly on the sea wall Navigation Center. I think that was a courageous act and the leadership that you provided there is something i think everyone in city hall should be grateful for. I would be grateful for more time on this, this commission. And although again with
I know that i mentioned this to you before and im very happy that youre looking at some of the solutions. And in a way, youre addressing it. There is other issues that i would have enjoyed bringing to the attention to make amendments to it, but i realize and this is my fault i cant really make amendments at this point, because of the our dates. So, im kind of glad the mayor and the stakeholders have reached some key agreements of both to both continue to discuss the need of the critical changes for more responsive department as well as some immediate policy changes to improve the quality of peoples lives right now. Not after november and beyond. Such as a change in the definition of homeless mothers. In support of that discussion, i really well, id like to make a motion to amend the date to march 3, 2020. This will provide us with the breathing room to get everyone to the table and develop a way forward. It accomplishes the objective that we all shared to make our citys work to end hom
That were out of control, i was told by Jeff Kaczynski a year ago, they are not focused on r. V. S. That is not something they are working on. And im watching the mayors own staff nodding their head right now because they know that is the truth. It is great because supervisor brown and others fought and fought to open the first of its kind 30 vehicle center, and it is finally happening, but the one to the department to ask for it year ago, they told us they had no plans to address r. V. S and they werent going to do anything about it until, low and behold, it is up 60 in the city as a whole. I did not want to ban parking but i did because i couldnt get the department to act at all. So what is going on now and every other street in the portola, there are r. V. S lining the streets and the residents are complaining once again. We have no oversight or accountability for this department and it has got to change. If you dont have a lot of homelessness in your district, i am so happy for you
It specifically carves out the ability of the city to pass further types of restrictions with respect to other units, so thats something we can continue to legislate on in the future. Vice president koppel commissioner richards . Commissioner richards thats a great thing, but i dont think we have anything written legislatively that says when you demolish a rent controlled unit that youve got to replace one. Commissioner hillis but weve still got that discretion. Right. And sb 330 requires a replacement unit in that place, and we can back that up or do it a different way. Commissioner richards i thought it had to be law. Thanks. Vice president koppel just a couple comments on my side. These arent addressed to anybody, but if skinners looking for certainty, whos the certainty for . Is this good certainty or bad certainty . And i dont know how these can get so confusing and so crossed over each other. I think that these updates thank you again for the great report. If you can answer every
State passed that. I think lastly, in terms of the timeline, does this include building and planning, or planning gets 30 days, then it goes to building and they get 30 days, is this permits in general , or specific permits . The housing accountability act is about the entitlement. If it is a project that doesnt meet the standards, or if it is a project that needs conditional use, that is your purview. The bill is not about the post entitlement timeframe. It is about getting the project to approval. That makes sense. Lastly, objective Design Standards, i think we have talked about that. It is so much easier. Some of the Community Housing we develop it. They kind of go away. I kind of look at this and say, we can develop all the Design Standards we want, we have a project that was going to waive five of them. It is understanding that the Design Standards dont make any sense if you can just waive them away. The waivers come into play when he of a stand estate density project. Under the h
