The citys general plan and your priorities as the commission and currently a family of four lives there. The parents are immigrants from Central America and they have two young children, and and theres a history at this property of the current owner trying to force those tenants out and so i dont think that its an accident that the plan was to convert their one bedroom into a studio and make it impossible for them to live there. So one thing i wanted to bring up was that when and if the permit is approved, the tenants will be displaced temporarily and i wanted im not sure how its possible, but to minimize the dislocation of those tenants during that process because the the rent ordinance requires payment of relocation money for three months, and they dont get additional money if theyre out of the apartment beyond those three months. Okay. Thats all i had to say. Thank you. Vice president richards thank you. Project sponsor, you have im sorry, Public Comment in support does your [ inaud
And sepg the projeaccepting th one bedroom down in this illegal unit. Currently there is a notice on this unit. It does not meet the current Building Code. Theres not existing ventilation, its very apparent that the unit itself has no Building Permits for it. So the we have to actually restructure the the unit here, and as i said, we were open and actually our clients have sent an email assuring them that there would be a one bedroom changing it from a studio, and unfortunately, they werent able to come to any agreement, so as i said, were in support of taking dr and actually accepting the plan as proposed. Thank you. Vice president richards thank you. Any additional comments from the project sponsors team . Seeing none, Public Comment in support of the project sponsor. Seeing none, dr requestor, you have two minutes to rebut. [ inaudible ]. Yes, initially there was an email that said fine, we agree, and then, they didnt agree anymore. I mean, the Planning Department knows this. The Pl
Difficult, in my mind, to protect those tenants who are knowingly living in when they moved in, knowingly living in an illegal substandard space. But to me, theres a big difference between the two, someone whos getting displaced, but i assume when you move into an illegal unit, you know what youre getting into. [ inaudible ] Vice President richards sir, please. Ill step in and make a comment. I think i already said i agree with that, as well. Buyer beware. Vice president richards right. Thats what i was going to say. Commissioner melgar. Commissioner melgar i was just going to, you know, just agree. I think that, you know, people dont move into an illegal unit sort of oh, buyer beware. I think theyre theyre paying rent, you know, for a unit that is substandard and illegal, then, the burden of proof is not on the renter, its on the property owner. So i you know, i think your brother bought this building knowing that there was, you know, a family with children and peeling paint in that b
But generally its not fine. High fees can i have Marginal Development and thats the development we want the most, stuff that happens at the beginning of the cycle aka the end of the recession when people most need jobs and in the neighborhoods and low profit margin and projects at the end of the cycle and wind up being sold when they open at the bottom for a third off. Those are the most delicate projects and those are harm and when you willynilly set the fees too high and thats what i am really keen on you know based this on the Feasibility Analysis and its true that the Feasibility Analysis can be cooked either way. Right . They can be cook that you can afford a higher or a lower fee. Its obviously a political process. I would suggest airing on the lower fee side for the development. Thanks. Thank you very much. Next speaker please. Supervisors. I am build inc. And i want to thank you all for the concern about housing. I certainly share it. Affordable housing is critical in San Franc
Items on the special committee is related but we will call them separately so please item 1 please. Item 1 is a initiative oar from the mayor for the proposed Initiative Ordinance submitted are by the mayor for the voters for june 7, 2016 for election entitled ordinance mending the planning code to maximize inclusionary or Affordable Housing and Economic Feasibility studies. We have staff here. We will have this presentation and if you get the powerpoint on the screen thank you. I want to be very clear the clear of this Initiative Ordinance is establish a pathway to maximize the amount of Affordable Housing that the city can require of developers. The current requirements are too low. Not only are they too low but theyre a one size fits all rules and acts if a luxury tower downtown has the same economics as a project in another neighborhood. The economics are different and the rules need to be different the mayor directed staff to bring working groups to bring stakeholders together for
