An ordinance to amends the administrative code to require that any resolution approving a jurisdictional transfer of Real Property be recorded in the office of the recorder together with a legal description and map of the Real Property. Colleagues, can we take this item, same house, same call and without objection, this is passed on first reading. Madam clerk, next item . An ordinance to amend the planning code to allow a Grocery Store use that is a formula retail use in the fulton street Grocery Store special use district and to make the appropriate findings. Supervisor brown . Yes, thank you. Colleagues, im here to present my ordinance to allow a former Grocery Store to be permitted in the fulton street Grocery Store district. Its 555 fulton at laguna and i want to thank the western edition in hayes valley for the support and the potential retailer. Our Community Members in hayes valley have beenag been agitatia fullservice Grocery Store for years and ive spent seven years working to bring a fullservice Grocery Store to 555 fulton. Its been a struggle to find a Grocery Store tenant that fills up the space and keeps prices affordable for the community. The Property Developer reached out to a number of boutique grocers but many declined due to the higherprice point for groceries and had to look for larger companies. Now we now have an interested tenant, trader joes. They have signed a lease but still in the process of Due Diligence at exploring the viability of opening a store in this location. Hayes has a retail ban and i need to make a special exception to allow for former retail Grocery Store. If this legislation passes, the retailer will still have to go through conditional use authorization process which will include time to discuss and address community concerns. It is not an open door and does not repeal the entire formula retail ban in hayes valley. To be clear, that will remain in intact. Under my ordinance, the Grocery Store retailer is subject to affordability requirements to make sure the western distribution hayes valley have access to fresh food. There is incredibly important as the medium income as the north side i is over 24,000. Hayes valley south and north, baniker homes, laura miller, haines, include the last bit of Affordable Housing stock that serves primarily low income, africanamerican, Asian Pacific island residents. Existing food real tail options in this neighborhood are either two expensive, dont except ebt or have a terrible reputation for quality. Its a problem and we need to address this. Our residents deserve better and now we have a viable option. This actually is the first step. If this legislation passes, then trader joes will have to go through conditional use didnt entitlement process. I want to stress we want strong Community Benefits connected to this location and i support local hire and im working with the proposed tenant to make sure they hire in the community. I have stressed the developer and Grocery Store tenant must address transportation, parking, bicycle and pedestrian safety. And any measures will need to be vetted by traffic engineers by the sfmta. My preference is to keep this transit and pedestrian friendly and maintain to adjust conditions as they maintain or evolve. I want the Western Addition in hayes valley to thrive and we want to avoid a huge, gaping vacancy on fulton to bring a good affordable option to the neighborhood. Trader joes has been in San Francisco for over 25 years and shown to be a Good Neighbor in different parted of th parts of. We will impress do the same in our neighborhood. Thank you. Can we take this item, same house, same call . Without objection, the ordinance is passed unanimously on first reading. Call item number 25, please. Item 25 is an ordinance to amend the health code and business and tax regulations code to replace the cut the curd preparation and current fees. Supervisor peskn . Thank you. This should be called the lisa omaley act of 2019 and lisa, who we celebrated her many decades tenure at the department of Public Health is here in the audience today and i want to thank her and our clerk, angela calvio, still wants to know where you got those cookies. But in all seriousness, this is a much overdue update to our restaurant inspection scheme in sanfrancisco that will bring us in line with counties around Northern California and really around the country and i want to thank miss omaley and her former staff for bringing this to my attention, as well as calvin yan, for commending that will it have a red, yellow, green scheme for restaurants instead relatively meaningless scores you see at restaurants. You may see a relatively low score but that restaurant did not have any problems that were related to Public Health and so, this is a much fairer scheme that is really good for the Restaurant Industry in San Francisco and i hope you will all vote for it. Colleagues, can we take this same house, same call this is this is passed unanimously. Item 26 to appoint gordon marr for an indefinite ca indef. Without objection, supervisor marr is excused. Madam clerk, we will please call the role. role call . There are nine ayes. In motion is approved unanimously. Supervisor marr. Madam clerk, please call the next item. 27 to appoint jessica cry and shawn richard, term ending december 23, 2020 to the cannabis oversight committee. Supervisor ronan. Thank you, colleagues. In the rules committee we forwarded jessica cry and Shawn Richards to the full board with recommendations and only subsequently learned that Shawn Richards is not yet eligible for the seat because while he is in process of becoming a strongfront cannabis business owner, he has not yet started that business. Its in process, all of the permitting. So what were going to do, ill make a motion to amend this item, to remove lines 13 and 14. You have it before you and Shawn Richards appointment to seat 12 and well move forward to jessica crys appointment to seat 10 and revisit seat 12 at the appropriate time. So with that, i make a motion to amend as just stated. So motion made by supervisors ronan and seconded by supervisor peskin and without objection, the motion is objected. Madam clerk, please call the role on a motion as amended. role call . There are ten ayes. Approved as amended.

Yes, colleagues, i just wanted to say since supervisor walton is in jury duty that we couldnt be more excited to be empathinempaneling this working. What we did was to fight the political battle to shut done Juvenile Hall by december of 2021 and these experts will do the work in the small noninsubstitutionlike facility that will be in place for a small number of youth that must be detained in San Francisco. So jus just wanted to say how excited we are and how grateful we are for the overwhelming response to engage in the work in the city is hope you join us in helping us to do this historic work. Colleagues, same house, came call . Without objection, its approved. Item 29 is a motion to appoint and waive the residency requirement for jessica lehman, Jennifer Esteen and to appoint sarah short to the housing conservative ship working group. Im sorry, residential wafers fowaivers for two of the three . 29, yes, i called 29. And did you mention yes, mr. President , i did mention the residency requirement to be waived. For who. Jessica lehman and Jennifer Esteen. Is there a reason why were getting waivers for two of the fly appointees on this . And i ask this question consistently when i see so many people get waivers for residency purposes. Theres a lot of people in San Francisco that live here and why cant we find anybody . And im not saying tease people arent qualified. So i dont know if you want to sure. As the chair of the rules committee, im happy to res
