Duplicate the file so it can be amended to require electric readiness and thank you for your commitment to drafting a natural gas ban in new construction next year. While it is moving through the channels, too many buildings already approved could use fossil fuel. [please stand by]. Its a byproduct of burning. And in the home, that means gas ranges, gas generators, gas heating, every year people are killed by Carbon Monoxide buildup. So, this is your chance to get that toxic fuel out of our homes. Lets do it fairly, equitably and thoroughly. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker. Im a sof asoftwear engineera coalition of environmental groups includin including 350 an go on for a lot longer. Id like to thank both of department of the environment, the Mayors Office and supervisor mandelman for their work on todays ordinance. We notice a huge lift over many, many months and we also appreciate your commitment to introducing a full natural gas band in the spring. As annie efficiency code, the coalition supportive of the ordinance today due to the urgency of the Climate Crisis the work thats gone in as well as the need to pass this bit end of the year for it to take effect at the beginning of 2020. However, if theres one thing i learned in my job, efficiency alone will not solve the Climate Crisis. My companys work focuses on promising Energy Efficiency and guaranteeing our work over 10 years. Its wellknown that promises Energy Savings degrade within a few years. This is no give than a code ma measures at time of design. The efficiency will degrade and the natural Gas Infrastructure will need to be retro fitted. We think that it will be ready and a strong code and we asked to add to to the duplicated file. And as other municipalities have demonstrated, this will be done introduce title 24 and i have some sample code language from the California Energy code and Standards Program and it would give language for such a electric readiness requirement. Thank you, very much. Thank you, next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors, my name is paul wormer and im a climate reality project representative to the Climate Emergency coalition. So everything they have said. First, i have here two handouts or two statements from members from the physicians for social responsibility and California Climate Health now who had to leave early. So i would please like to submit those. And then in an effort to introduce a new approach to dealing with natural gas, lets think of consumer protection. We know that by 2045 or 2050, we will see a need to have retro fitted all existing buildings given the states and cities objectives to go carbon neutral. That means that people who invest in gas now, given the 20year lifespan, at least, of gas appliances, will be left with sunk capital stranded assets over the next if they start, over the next two or three years. One of the big opportunities for government to take a strong stand is to send a strong policy signal about where we are going. I urge you to look at drafting language to mandate disclosure in property transactions and in building contracts and appliance sales that make it clear that if people buy something with gas or decide to install gas instead of electricity, they will be wasting their money because they will have to change before too much longer. Thank you. Thank you. I am delighted that news of your demise turned out to be someone else. Next speaker, please. Chris, again. Im a constituent of supervisor peskin. I want to thank specifically supervisor mandelman and the committee to be duplicate including ready provisions while look forward to the introduction of a full gas ban as soon as possible i want to stress the importance of implementing strong electric ready stop gap measures through the reach code. There are tens of thousands of gas units already in the pipeline. Electric ready is the perfect opportunity to do right by residents living in the eastern corridor. Who are the most impacted by pollution and who will reside in the areas where mat jor tee of new construction will be built. Owe efficiency insen it was will noin we cantmake our retro fr climate goals if we build New Buildings with gas. I encourage you to expeditiously pursue the electric ready standards adopted by citieses like berkeley, san jose and make the Requirements Applicable to all New Buildings including industrial buildings, labs, and buildings in hazard zones. Finally consult with the Environmental Community as you draft these amendments, thank you so much. I want to submit the document thats daniel submitted for the record. Thank you, chris. Next speaker, please. Hi, my name is susan grown im a resident of know noy valld id like to thank you for letting me speak today. 18 years ago my husband and i up greated our electric service and installed gas, water and space heaters and kitchen and laundry alliances. We didnt understand the urgency of the Climate Crisis we face. Now we do. My family started the process of retro fitting our house so it will be all electric to learn that to do so, we have to upgrade our electric service again and obtain various waivers to do so. The whole process including the Electrical Service upgrade rewiring and new appliances will cost over 10,000. Perhaps closer to 20,000. And our house is probablys year to retro fit than many because its detached on one side making it easier to do the rewiring. Were moving ahead by dipping into our Retirement Savings because we know the crisis we face is urgent. With nearly 400,000 Housing Units in San Francisco, most with gas appliances, the cost to receipt toe fit them will easily run into the billions of dollars, with that future in mind, it seems unconscionable to construct a single new unit of housing thats not all electric ready. I understand there are tens of thousands of approved new Housing Units in San Francisco that have yet to begin construction. If a majority of those musting retro fitted in the future, it could add billions of dollars to our retro fit challenge. Dont add to the challenges and costs we face by slow walking the needed changes. Id like to ask you that all new construct be electric ready as soon as possible. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker, please. Eileen, coalition for San Francisco neighborhood. Here on my own behalf. Here in strong support for all electric construction and all sectors. Besides reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions it reduces the risk of gas related fires like the one at gary and parker. Based on the push back for similar legislation in towns like brooke line massachusetts, a sub you are of boston, the following may happen here. The American Gas Association came out in opposition stating that to see a city eliminate not only Customer Choice but also broader economic benefits and undeniable environmental benefits is short sided to say the least. The Massachusetts Coalition for sustainability, also came out in opposition stating that the ban would have negative impact on safety, our environment and Economic Development alike. However, the Massachusetts Coalition for sustainability is actually a friend for natural gas interests including canadian pipelines, giant enbridge and Energy Providers resource and national bridge. The massachusetts chapter of the National Association for industrial and office parks came out in opposition. This is a trade group for the commercial real estate industry. The association stated that the ban would further exacerbate the existing housing crisis and passed along high costs to residents who call brooke line home. All the push back was because brooke line was the first east coast town to ban natural gas in new construction and major conversions. Although san would not be the First West Coast city to begin banning natural gas and new construction would be the largest city. Los angeles is seeing push backs in its efforts to ban national gas next speaker, please. If there are any other members of the public who like to testify on items 5, 6, please lineup to my right my name is kathy and im with core Climate Group as well as mothers have prime. I want to say that we support this legislation and were glad to see it moving quickly because reports indicate all the time that we are behind schedule. First it was 11 years and 10 and now were not making progress fast. So thank you for moving on this. Thank you. Are there any other members of the public would would like to testify on either of these two items . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. I would like to thank director rafael and supervisor mandelman and the co sponsors for bringing this forward. Item number 5 actually has fiscal impact. So, unfortunately, its my duty pursuant to our rules to refer item number 5 and yes, mandelman you may ask erika major why this is true but im been informed just clarifying that is the municipal ban not the private Electric Building . Yes, item number 5. So item number 5, will need to be referred to a Fiscal Committee of the board. There are two Fiscal Committees of the board. The government audit and Oversight Committee and the budget is finance committee. I will leave it to the chair or the president of the board of supervisors to determine which Committee President yee would like to assign those to. Item number 6 is a subject of a. An amendment and b a request to duplicate. Supervisor mandelman, i assume you would like the amendment to apply to the duplicated file . Colleagues, i will make a motion to accept the amendment thats have previously been described. We will take that without objection. And then, supervisor mandelman, who is not a member of this committee requested we duplicate the file as amended and we will send the one, we will keep here and continue to the share and the other we will send to the full board with recommendation. Item 5, will be rereferred by the president of the board to a Fiscal Committee. So, those are the two measures that are pending. Motions that are pending before this body. Well take them both without object sex. Thanobjection. Thank you for your testimony. Madam clerk, can you call item 11, out of order. Clerk yes, item number 11 is ordinance health code to authorizes the district offer publichealth to allow a medical cannabis dispensary permit to operate under that permit at a new location. Provided that the permity has been verified by the office of campus as an equity applicant under the police code. They have been evicted from the location associated with the permit or been notified by the landlord that the lease would be terminated or renewed. The new location has an existing authorization for medical cannabis dispensary use. And the permit has complied with all requirements under article 33 of the health code are there any members of the public who would like to testify on item 11, the sponsor of this, supervisor haney, has asked me continue this to the call of the chair. Are there any members of the public who would like to testify on this item . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. And without objection, this item has been continued to the call of the chair. Madam clerk, could you please read item 12 out of order clerk item number 12 is an ordinance approving a Development Agreement between the city and county of San Francisco and the Stephens Institute doing business as a university and its affiliated entities as the properties which agreement provides for various public benefits. So, i have just been informed by my colleagues safai that apparently all of the deputy City Attorneys here on this major piece of work thats been going on for 10 years, have vacated the chambers. Is that true or untrue . Is liz here from planning . They all just walked up stairs. Are there any city staff from the Planning Department or from the City Attorneys Office here on item number 12 . All right. Madam clerk, call item number 10 clerk housekeeping for item number 5, we would need to either send it to jao or budget and finance committee. I believe the recommendation is gao. Because its technically been heard in committee and we cant continue it for the president madam clerk, i did not request that be continued to the call of the chair. I requested that it be rereferred to the president of the board for the president of the board to assign it either to the budget and finance committee or the government audit and Oversight Committee. Our deputy just walked in. Far be it for a chair of the committee to tell the president or hwhere he would like to assin this thing. I dont assign legislation. I used to but i dont do that. Im reassign particular ting ie president. Were talking about item number 5. It has fiscal impact. Its not properly before this body and i want to rerefer it to the president. The president can decide which Fiscal Committee we have that he would like to assign it to i would recommend in this situation that the Committee Vote to refer it to a particular committee with the understanding that the president may refer it to another committee. In my experience, that has been how committees have handled items in cor dinnances and these times of situations. It may be permissable to refer it to the president but the protocol in recent years has been to refer it to a committee. It can change the committee thank you deputy City Attorney gib ner. I would like to make a motion to refer it to the budget and i can finance committee and we can do that without objection. And, after 10 years, well maybe 20, it depends on how you count it, we have item number 12 before us which has already been called. I would like this is a banner day for the land use and Transportation Committee of San Francisco board of supervisors. Before us, in item number 12, is another Development Agreement and conditional use requirements for what we call the academy of Art University that effects a number of provisions in our laws. I want to start by first thanking our City Attorney, Dennis Herrera, who stopped goofing around and brought suit against the academy of art quite a number of years ago. I believe that this is not a belief. This is a fact. I served on this board of supervisors from the eighth day of january of 2001 to the eighth day of january of 2009 and the academy of art and their perennial violations was stuff of legend. I came back to this board of supervisors and was sitting in this chamber next to a gentleman who was my colleague at the time, named scott wiener, who was holding a hearing about stabilization. A woman revealed to us our number of stabilization rooms, in those days, they were around 350 rooms, had been reduce today somewhere around 65 rooms mostly because the academy of art had cannibalized those rooms. That got my attention. I think i was surfing the internet at the time. I called up Dennis Herrera and said its time to litigate and it has been going on for years and the Senate Committee and the measures that are in this Development Agreement are before us. I want to thank the Planning Department and john ram and our former Zoning AdministratorScott Sanchez who have done i rarely say things like this, gods work on this issue. I would like to acknowledge the successuck success ofsuccessiont least one, i believe that would be jim abrams who had exerted what i call client control which i am profoundly grateful for. With that y. Dont we have a presentation. I dont know if were going to start with mr. Sanchez, former or deputy or whatever you are Zoning Administrator, mr. Sanchez, the floor is yours thank you, good afternoon, chair peskin, members of the committee Scott Sanchez. Were pleased to bring to you this d. A. And associated code a investmentments to absolve the longstanding and they date back to 2006 and 2007 our earliest eastbounenforcement efforts. I would like to thank the City Attorneys Office, they brought litigation that bring you the package that you have today. This was heard by the Planning Commission last month and supported and i request the committee pass this on to the ful
