Planner with the tenderloin development corporation. So if were going to continue to provide this resource of Affordable Housing in San Francisco, we need more sites. Sites with something that as we all know is definitely limited in our small city. We have a really fantastic opportunity here with these public sites to do something has been mentioned for the public good. On that note i want to urge the city to increase the affordability for those sites. As was mentioned, they are looking at sort of a baseline of 50 affordability for a lot of these sites. While that is higher than the 33 required by probprop k, they with my its an opportunity to increase our affordability numbers overall. If you look at pipeline for the Affordable Housing over next six years were way below the 33 threshold. So we have an opportunity to bump up the numbers to meet our Affordable Housing requirements laid out by the general plan and to really fulfill this mandate that the voters approved to have more Affor
Should increase affordability of some of the sites. We think that sites that large enough to accommodate 200 units should be affordable, should be 100 affordable and that the sites that are larger than 200 units we can look at a more mixed Income Housing. We think that will help balance our housing in San Francisco and meet the affordability mandate set out bit general plan as well acid prop k and really create a service for the public in San Francisco. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, commissioners. Whitney jones the director of the Housing Development form chinatown ucu. First i want to thank the city staff who are moving this process forward. Thank you, guys. Many city sites have been held by agencies for years without a process for moving them forward to meet overall city needs. So this process of starting to move these sites are consider uses for these sites is a great one. We support the chao choochoo paper presented to you earlier earli

So this process of starting to move these sites are consider uses for these sites is a great one. We support the chao choochoo paper presented to you earlier earlier and highlight a couple of points that i think you have heard a couple of times already. A couple of simple points with my heard at the public meetings, the emphasis was on affordable and middleIncome Housing. We think with that emphasis to set a great emphasis on affordable and that sites that offer the opportuni
Enterprise and minority Business Enterprise and finding space for them. The way i think you do that is to have a Development Agreement. I think the best thing to do was to have a Standard Development agreement that has elements that Everyone Wants to see, and then tailor it to specific sites and they arer not only starting from scratch with Different Development partners. That is something to consider and get it out in one fail whoop, local hire, mix of units, any sort of benefits that you want to provide for special open space or programming, for Economic Development . Put it all in there, do the work upfront and for each site depending on how many units and the size, you can see what of those elements you canly actually do . This is another sort of planning code issue that again im not sure if maybe the Housing Working Group saw it and determined it wasnt feasible. But we have a requirement for the Affordable Housing that if you are going to do it, sra there is a certain unit mix, a
