Certain nonresidential uses at 3150 18th street and requires the office of Small Business to assist businesses under the program and affirms the ceqa determination. This item was recommended as a mended and incorporates new language from committee. Colleagues, supervisor ronen . Thank you. Colleagues, in january, dozens of Small Businesses with active space learned they were facing displacement and finds due to violations of existing zoning regulations. These businesses are very small, owner operated enterprises and most of them are health and personal Services Including acupuncturists, massage practitioners and tattoo artists i was extremely concerned for the owners so i held two Community Meetings with the tenants, quickly introduced this legislation in my office personally connected the tenants to followup. Closing nearly 100 Small Businesses on the same block, all at once, would be an economic crisis for the mission, a neighborhood already suffering from the displacement of hundreds of Small Businesses. The ordinance that i have authored will prevent the displacement of these businesses were providing them with amnesty under the planning code. It will allow businesses currently operating in active space, a building that is zoned p. D. R. , to be considered legal, nonconforming uses, so they can remain in the building as long as they felt appropriate application. While this legislation is about saving businesses, i want to be clear that i am also actively working to protect arts and manufacturing spaces. Light manufacturing spaces provide san franciscans with important bluecollar jobs. The mission is one of the few districts whether p. D. R. Zoning exists and we must protect these hardtofind spaces. I can go into detail about what the legislation does, but i will spare you unless you have questions. I just wanted to thank the tenants who have been in communication with our office and have helped us to find this work and this solution. I want to thank the city departments and staff that have been working with my office for the past six months to come up with this solution, including the director and the office of Small Business. Our zoning administrator, and department staff, and the department of building inspection, as well as the department of public health, with particular thanks to stefani and jen. Finally, i want to thank carlee number alice from my office. It is no small feat to organize and work with hundreds of businesses that are in panic of losing their space, and she was on the phone and meeting with these businesses nonstop for months on end. Thank you so much, carlee not. I also want to thank my cosponsors as well as the Land Use Committee for unanimously supporting this item. I hope you will support it as well. Thank you so much.

Supervisor peskin . I will not reiterate my earlier comments that i made when miss hartley was being honored, but i will add one other thing, which is the notion of delegating authority for foreclosures is actually something that we offered several years ago after a couple of unfortunate foreclosures of b. M. R. Restricted properties. They are no longer subject to below market rate covenants. I appreciate the fact that you are now incorporating that in this ordinance, albeit, i kind of want to note for the record that we offered that to the department in 2016. Supervisor brown . Yes, i want to give a little perspective for me because when we are looking at these sites, and we have to turn them around, sometimes a turnaround to small site acquisition, and 60 or 90 days, and we know there are things that have to be done to it. Rehabilitation that we need to be able to have them move quickly with these at risk properties, and i had this happen for one of the properties that we were able to buy. I just think it is really important that we want to maximize the potential of our small site program. It is critical that mohcd is able to move fast. With this potential loss of these sites and other buyers, it limits our ability, so i really want to be supportive of this going through so give some a little bit of wiggle room to be able to buy these sights.

Supervisor viewer is first up to introduce new business. Submit. Supervisor haney . Thank you, madame clerk. I mentioned this this morning at the t. A. Meeting. I am submitting a resolution today asking mayor breed and the sfmta to declare a state of emergency around Traffic Safety on the streets of San Francisco. I want to thank chair peskin for speaking on this issue this morning and for board president he and supervisor viewer, and so many others who have worked on this issue and to have spoke on the urgency. On average, three people a day are hit by cars in San Francisco that is more than any other city in our state. Many of the fatal crashes in the city have happened in the tenderloin and soma. A part of the city where we have the highest concentration of children. I also, a supervisor fewer noted today, these are crashes and fatalities that are happening all over our city. They were two individuals who were killed in her district this year, as well. Just this last week, we had two separate fatal crashes in district six. Last week, a 54yearold Michael Evans was hit by a big rig at eddie and mason, and on sunday, a speeding car ran a red light and killed benjamin dean, and seriously injured his wife, kelly, who is still in the hospital. This is a tragedy, and to michael and dean and kelly, and the many other individuals who have lost their lives this year to traffic collisions, we recognize that our city has to do so much better. Benjamin and kelly were actually married here at city hall and were here visiting this city, celebrating their wedding anniversary. This morning we had a rally on the streets of city hall, and i want to thank supervisors walton and ronen and brown and peskin and supervisor yee for being there. Walk s. F. , the bike coalition, community members, we are calling for, along with senator weiner, calling for a state of emergency to be cleared here in San Francisco. While we are making progress, it is not happening fast enough, and we are calling for immediate and proactive action. There are things that we can do to protect and save lives on our streets. The need for a red light camera, immediate he put out on our streets is something that we can do now, installing Pedestrian Safety measures like scrambles where we separate when pedestrians are walking and when cars are turning or driving, we can reduce the number of lanes on streets that we know are much like freeways with fastmoving traffic, like many of the streets in the tenderloin and soma. We can retime our lights so that we prioritize safety rather than speed and flow. We can quickly gather data, get rid of any barriers to increasing safety and support any and all funding streams to bring pedestrian deaths down to zero. We also can prioritize enforcement in ways that we are not right now. Far too often we see people flying through the tenderloin at high speeds or even through red lights without any fear of enforcement at all. We believe that by declaring a state of emergency we can take more immediate and sweeping action, and i hope that my colleagues will join me in this. I know this is something that has impacted all of our districts, and we are all greatly concerned about it, so i hope that we can join together and make this strong statement that we want to see more sweeping and immediate action to save lives on our streets. The rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor haney. I would like to be added as a cosponsor to the resolution. Thank you, mr. President. Supervisor mandelman . Thank you. I will just report back that supervisor haney and i attended last weeks executive committee meeting. The most eventful and noteworthy things were three positions that the executive committee took on statewide legislation. One was a. B. 14 and 87, simile member tos legislation to allow for m. T. C. And to raise revenue on a regional basis by putting taxes on that would raise Affordable Housing funds that could be spent across the region that passed after three hours of conversation, pretty overwhelmingly 223 with 1 extension. Similarly, there was broad support for simile just for a. B. 1486 which was a revision to the safe surplus land act to make war surplus land available for Affordable Housing. Far more controversial, and in fact, not recommended and in fact, they recommended against s. B. 330 s. B. 330, they recommended against it by one vote. This was the state senator skinners legislation to limit the discretion of local governments in Processing Development applications. I found pretty compelling in testing my vote against that memo that had been prepared by the planning department. That said, the bills prohibition on new Design Standards after generally first, 2018, they do not meet the definition of objective standards would propose propose a significant disruption to do the Design Review process, specifically the urban Design Guidelines which were adopted in march 2018 that would become more difficult to lament under the bill. The central soma plan adopted in late 2018 generally applies and would be similarly challenged by the bill, i would as we design guideline efforts currently underway in the hub and in the poke specific spirit special area. For me, that was enough to vote no, and for various reasons they did recommend against that legislation. And the last point that we probably should bring up here from that meeting is that we were going into another arena update, Regional Housing needs allocation and we had a presentation that outlined how that is going to work. We are going to end up probably with a significantly greater obligation to produce or to plan for and produce housing at all levels then we have experienced before. Many of us know proudly that San Francisco has his meeting their housing goals. It is unlikely to be the case after the next arena update in 2022. And as folks know, the consequence of not meeting your arena obligations is a significant loss of local control, so that is my update from the executive committee meeting, and the rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor. Supervisor mar . Supervisor peskin . Thank you, madame clerk. Im introducing the San Francisco reuse ordinance which is a piece of environmental legislation designed to further San Franciscos and i were mayor s zero waste commitment that was made last year to drastically reduce the amount of solid waste that ends up on our streets, in our waterways, in the ocean, in the bay, and of course, in our landfills. I dont think it is an understatement to say that we are experiencing a number of environmental crises. As i said yesterday, half joking , it is a race between whether we will end up up to our next in sea level rise, or plastic first, and yesterday, the Land Use Committee held a hearing convened by supervisor mandelman relative to the declaration of Climate Emergency on the federal level, it is the green new deal, but i want to be perfectly clear, the 4 trilliondollar plastics industry is also the Petroleum Industry and it is wreaking havoc in the same way, matter of fact, Climate Change and the plastics problem are inextricably linked. It is the same exact companies that are fighting regulation of fossil fuels. Im talking about chevron, exxonmobil, shall petroleum, the same national lobbying entities that are fighting plastic bag regulations and are working with alec to preempt, most recently in the state of tennessee, any regulation of plastic disposal and i am sure that they will work to poke holes in our policies and this piece of legislation. But the data is truly disturbing in the late 1960s, less than 25 million tons of plastic were produced each year in the night it states. By the 80s, that production had doubled to over 50 million tons. By the nineties, it doubled again to over 100 million tons. Today, the plastic industry, which as i said earlier is estimated to be worth more than 4 trillion, it generates more than 300 million tons of plastic a year, nearly half of which is designed to be single use plastic where. We tend, erroneously, to think of plastic as recyclable, but this has turned out, in large part, to be a con of the plastic industry. The vast majority of the 8. 3 billion metric tons of plastic produced, almost 80 has ended up in landfills or polluted our planet. According to our own Waste Company here, recology, which collects and processes 700 tons of recyclables in San Francisco every single day, less than 10 of all plastic has ever been recycled. We did a beach cleanup on sunday sponsored by the Surfrider Foundation which has been collecting data that shows that 80 of the plastic items that ended up on our beaches and in our oceans a single use food where and beverage cups. Your standard small footprint, fast casual restaurant in San Francisco can generate upwards of a half a million individual singleuse plastic items per year, over 3600 pounds of plastic waste. Rethink disposable huston outreach to businesses across the bay area, and for those restaurants
