Association is also about the rents that are constantly going up in San Francisco. And so i know there has been this idea that i think is pretty promising, we can expedite the condoizing of retail space. Meaning that if a Property Owner has a piece of building that actually has maybe housing on top, that he or she is able to actually sell the retail space. What do you think about that . Because its true, there is no rent control on retail spaces. In my district, im seeing a 10year lease with an option for another 10 years, theyre now doing it annually, by just an annual lease. The restaurants in my neighborhood are seeing a lot of increases. And three or four times the amount of rent. This is what happened to farmer brown. So condoizing just the retail space and the empty store fronts, they can just sell the retail space. What are your thoughts about this . Well, Planning Department doesnt really deal with the condoization of spaces, but if its instability in the Restaurant Industry, t
Today. Im available if you have questions. Supervisor fewer any questions or comments . Supervisor peskin could you remind us of your name . Katy sherping.

I may not have them all off the top of my head. It reduced some of the duplicate inspections that would happen. If you did a buildout and apply for an entertainment, you would have to do that again. So that goes away. There are other areas where we updated our health code for example to be more in line with state health code around when restrooms are required to be accessible for patrons. This expands opportunities for businesses to, for example, have like a small coffee cart or Something Like that without having to provide a restroom for their customers. There were a number of other pieces of this legislation. The piece that was talked about most in the commission
Definitions for drinking and eating uses in the planning code and it was reduced to three. It was based on alcohol consumption. A bar owning alcohol. And a limited restaurant, no alcohol. We were able do this because the city had adopted controls which made the different layers of restaurant definitions unnecessary. So we had definitions that said, if you serve in disposable cups, youre this kind of restaurant. If you order at the counter, youre this kind of restaurant. We simplified that to three basic things. For those in controls, we left the fullservice restaurant the same, but permitted limited restaurants without alcohol, through most of the city and obtained existing prohibition on neighboring retail and commercial districts through that. So recently we developed our cb3 process, which is community, processing program. For qualifying businesses, it requires conditional use authorize, hearing date in 90 days, placement on the consent calendar. No guarantee they stay on consent, b
Legislation that was supported unanimously by the board and signed by the mayor last week. It included a number of code changes that will have real em packets for the food and beverage impacts for the food and beverage business. A lot of them came directly from the one of on one work with restaurants. There remains opportunities for improvement, which well discuss today and this program will be a good lens to watch that. Finally, looking ahead, we want to continue to expand our outreach. Were serving a large number of businesses but want to make sure that every restaurant knows its available to them. Were also thinking about how to increase capacity. The budget and legislative Analyst Report prepared at the request of supervisor mandelman on the castro areas, looking at store front vacancies, is a tool.
