And have recognized the densities and that the adjoining counties to north and south with a lot of work to do. I think it would be also good to focus this conversation regionally through the terms and lower communities of color and we should have that in an apples to apples way. I was part of the movement to when supervisor kim threatened to annex a nearby city that was unwilling to increase the housing density on vacant land, so lets expand that conversation. So supervisor mar, and i really appreciate everything that you have, and please any closing comments for you, supervisor mar. And what is your will . Thank you so much, chair peskin and supervisor preston for your comments and engagement in this really important discussion. There is a number of very important items to get to so i will keep the closing comments very short. I did want to summarize that my goal today was emphasize the importance of data and who is the housing for and are we prioritizing and addressing the Housing Needs of residents an communities to insure the diverse and racially Equitable Society . This needs to be the core of our housing policy frame work, not just in the rhetoric and not just in theary tough we report on about not just on the narrative. We need it in the measurable data and the quantitative goals and the metrics that hold us account to believe the real people who live and work here. We can only address what we can measure. Again, i am disappointing that the jobs housing fit is not a fit and so i look forward to receiving the completed report before the end of august. I also look forward to seeing how the points brought up today will be reflected and incorporated into the Housing Element and in particular the Housing Needs in San Francisco. I look forward to continuing conversations with planning staff and insuring meaningful public opportunities for final sign off. And finally, supervisor and executive board member of the association of bay area of government, i recognize the challenge that the forthcoming regional arena allocation will have on San Franciscos response in the Housing Element. In addition to establishing the framework we discussed today, i will commit to advocating for arena allocation that aligns with the framework we discussed in a frame work that supports San Franciscos a Housing Affordability and stability needs. It will be reflected in the district and housing work including the sunset Forward Community planning process that we launched this summer and our effort to increase Affordable Housing capacity on the west side. And my policy priorities to stabilize and protect sunset residents from displacement. Thanks again, colleagues and staff at the Planning Department and to the members of the public who called in to engage with us today. And i would like to move that we continue this item to the call of the chair. And that would be both hearings, supervisor . Item four is a resolution and it has to be excuse me, you are absolutely right. And by planning code and accepted. Im sorry. Chair peskin, i would ask that the committee move the resolution accepting the housing balance report forward to the full board, and also continue the second hearing to the call of the chair. Thank god that we asked for the housing balance report to actually be put on the screen so we could have done it justice. And before we call roll call vote on that, let me also just speak to two elephants in the room before we move on to our last three items that will take several more hours. Yes, there are absolute nimbys in this town and there is a history of systemic racism as it relates to housing. It was in covenants, conditions, and restrictions. It has played out in exclusionary zoning, but there is also the exercise and i realize that planners and the Planning Department are not allowed to address this in reports. But there is also the exercise of vast power that is brought to all 11 of us and a mayor that is called the expenditure of money in politics. It happens through astroturf organizations. It happens through independent expenditures. It happens through political donations. And it is no mistake that supervisor kim and i had to take these t static percentage of inclusionary housing out of the charter where it never belonged because a handful of developers convinced a mayor and a board to put that before the voters and funded the campaign where it actually passed. So let us also remember that a lot of this is about rich people getting richer and to the libertarian, i suggest you think about that, too. With regard to item number 4, there is a motion, madam clerk, to send the resolution with regard to the biannual housing balance report number 10 to the full board. I will make that motion on that motion, a roll call please. On the motion to recommend, supervisor pes kin. Aye. Supervisor safai. Aye. Supervisor peskin. You have three ayes. And then i would like to make a motion to continue item number five to the call of the chair. On that motion, a roll call please. On the motion as stated, supervisor preston. Aye. Supervisor safai. Aye. Supervisor peskin. You have three ayes. Madam clerk, reads the next item. Item six is ordinance amending the planning code to provide an exception from the density limit calculations for all affordable units proprojects and not seeking and receiving a density bonus, permit the legalization of all unauthorized dwelling units and members of the public who wish to provide Public Comment item six should call the number 4565 a0001, meeting 1467294222 and pound and pound again. And press star 3 to line up for item six and the system will prompt us that you have raised your hand. Wait until the system indicates that you have been unmuted when we get to Public Comment. Thank you. Thank you, ms. Major. At the question of the sponsor of the legislation, supervisor mandelman, he has asked for a continuance to august 17. Given the unique covid19 time that were in where during the middle of august we are going to be in the middle of our budget deliberations, we may or may not have a hearing on monday, august 17. So subject to Public Comment, i would like to continue this to the call of the chair. If indeed we have a mid august meeting, i will put that on the calendar. Are there any members of the public who would like to speak to the item number six . Operations is checking to see if there are any callers in the queue. Hes noted 25 listeners and two in queue. Operations, if you could queue the caller please. A first speaker please. Go ahead, first caller. Caller hi. There is tom, executive director of livable city and just thank you for that hearing. It was great. And it highlights a loft of the issues that this legislation will directly help. This legislation does a few things. It protects san franciscans who live in unauthorized units from losing their housing. We have thousand of san franciscans who live in unauthorized units. They are not a tup of housing. Some are very old units and in any type of building and just units not approved with permits when the unit was built. Some are decades old, many are rent controlled and this would give every one of the units a path to legalization and protection under 317 from conversion, demolition and merger. It gets directly to the issue of why are we losing rent controlled and affordable unit. Lets stop that and get that number to zero units we have that are not replacing in kind. The other thing is it does is incentives for Affordable Housing by exempting them from density limits. We do have an exemption of affordable units from the citys density limits. These are projects that will abide by height and bulk and rear yard and exempts are, h1 and 2 and doesnt apply in over half the city. It caps at 25 of the total number of units. And to lower density units with the small number of additional units. And so 100 affordable projects, for example, couldnt put them in the space of a monster home. Even though they fit and could be generously sized units, but there is that cap. If you believe in dense tu equity, and if you believe and want more on site affordable, supervisor preston, and if you want Affordable Housing of all shapes and sizes in every neighborhood, this is the ordinance for you. We hope you will support it when it is written. Wanted to thank supervisor mandelman for bringing this forward. It is incredibly timely and those components are absolutely what we need right now. Thank you. Next speaker please. Next speaker. Caller i am an africanamerican retired resident of district 1 1, Vice President of the omica. Longtime learner, very opposed to the river and if it is in Affordable Housing to me maam, i dont mean to interrupt you i dont mean to interrupt you actually, i do mean to interrupt you. We are on item six. And that is the an exemption from density limits which we are about to continue. The item that you want to speak to is item 7 and 8 which were about to call so if you can just get back in the queue, we will call you or you can speak about that in just a minute. Speak about balboa in a minute. Thank you, maam. Sorry for that. Are there any other speakers on item number six . If i understand it is going to be continued, i will let this go until it is continued. Thank you, maam. Okay. There will be hopefully on october im sorry, august 17. We will hear this item. Are there any other members of the public to speak to exempt from density limits, item number six . Madam clerk . Awe caller yes. I am a district 8 resident. I have not heard about this. I dont think supervisor mandelman has done enough outreach on this or his legislative aid has provided the information and there are plenty of things to say about it, but i support the continuance so we can learn more about it and be able to comment intelligently. Thank you. Next speaker please. Caller i am milo and i live in district eight. I actually did hear about this from mandelman about six or eight months ago and it is now moving and i am really supportive and a great idea and a good, creative way to find more space to get people into homes which is what the city needs. Clearry we dont have enough places for people to live. I am not the purpose of the city is we have jobs and people are coming here for opportunities and we must build houses or otherwise accommodate people who are coming here for opportunities and for a better life. So i think this achieves that goal. Market rate and Affordable Housing grade school and on that unified enemy that we can all be against is exclusionary housing policies that favor above all else quote, unquote character and small architecture styles and with density and i hope to get to the next one as well. Thank you. Next speaker please. Caller hello. I support this legislation. Please get it through. I think that planning i have been living in sir, we are speaking to a continuance. Caller yes. I think planning code 207 is obsolete and it was obsolete 30 years ago because i basically always living in unpermitted a. D. U. S my entire life. And we should abolish the density limit. In addition, after we get this law through, i think we should start to look at how to increase the density how to relax some of the Building Code requiremen requirements that sb such as ceiling heights and things like that. Last week at the Planning Commission t Planning Commission voted to destroy an illegal a. D. U. Because it would not be able to meet the Building Code requirements. So even with this law, it wont stop all demolitions that destr destroy existing or legal a. D. U. S and we can work to do more. Thank you. Probably why less people burn to death in that you are houses in our society. New other members of the public who would like to speak to this item . Caller good evening, supervisors. This is gordon in support of the legislation and it need to be continued. That is and removing density controls is a good step in that direction. I would like to expand this legislation with the density controls across the board that were created for racist reasons and if it was rawsist when it was kree yachted, and just beyond the opportunities we could have and somebody in a mansion and like the one that supervisor peskin luvs in and wants to split up the home to three or four more units to rent out some below argument rate and remove the density controls throughout the city. This is a good first step and no reason not to take more steps as well. Legalizing and no reason they should be kicked out. If there are serious concerns about an a. D. U. That is built illegally, le sfie and natural Affordable Housing in the city. One last point and i hear that generally referring to people who advocate for market housing as libber theian. Ien am i am a democrat and have been knocking on doors six i was 16 and to engage with the name calling like a child. Thank you. Please pass this legislation. Mr. Gordon, your personal attacks are noted and unwarranted. And unfortunate and do not help your position which if you watched this committee relative to proposition e and the housing balance report, you will realize are quite unfortunate and unproductive statements. Next speaker please. Caller good evening, supervisors. Robert from district five. I want i know this item is going to be continued, but i would like to say that density controls were originally enacted as part of red lining throughout the west side in neighborhoods like Mount Davidson manor and Saint Frances wood and others near balboa park in particular. I found a planning document from 1970 that shows the distribution of existing and planned Public Housing and virtually all of it was planned for would be currently districts five, 8, 9, 10, 111 and 12 with virtually no Public Housingen and density controls are not an original idea from the fact that its been San Francisco policy to put all density in the east side explicitly in normally Industrial Areas for the last 50, 60 years. Thank you. Next speaker. Mr. Chair, that completes the queue. Okay. Public comment is closed. At the request of supervisor mandelman, i will continue this item to the call of the chair. And hopefully schedule it to august. On that motion, roll call please. Supervisor preston. Aye. Supervisor safai. Aye. Supervisor peskin . Aye. You have three ayes. Could you please read item seven and eight together . Item 7 is an ordinance amending the general plan to revise the balboa park station area plan and the recreation and open stays element and amending the Housing Element in with regard to the design of families with children and adopting property findings. Item eight is an ordinance joining the planning code and zoning map to rezone the balboa reservoir basin site generally bounded by the city college of San Francisco. And numbers can call that number at 4156550001. The system prompts will indicate that you have raised your hand. Please wait until the system indicates that you have been unmuted when Public Comment begins and you may begin your comments. You will only need press star 3 once to stay in the queue. Thank you. Thank you, madam clerk. We are joined by our board president and district seven supervisor, supervisor yee. The floor is yours. Okay. Thank you, chair peskin and supervisors preston and safai for and thank you for the robust discussion and i was listening to to the whole discussion and there is a good connection between those items four and five and these items. The balboa reservoir project started in 2015 as a proposed site and this has been a long journey. One that i want to reflect upon as we consider the project as a whole. The funny thing about this sprojt as a student during the 60s and talking about housing that is not a new concept. Tirm initial meetings years ago and there wasnt a real Engagement Community process and to see the discussion dissolve and a few times i looked to create what ended up to be the balboa Reservoir Community advisory xhiet and College Trustee and Business Owner and along portion avenue and Area Plan Committee and representative from the p. U. C. Community Advisory Committee and representative of one of the high schools and and to make sure we had voices from all the elements around the neighborhood. They spent two years Gathering Community input and to create principles and parameters to inform the developer selection roars and ultimately the process that is. You today. It seems common sense now but to be hon and the city had a deep level of participation before a project was even proposed. Members of the public have contributed significant time to help shape this project. And this is located on p. U. C. Land and would propose a project of 50 of the 1,100 units and total of 550 affordable units and with the huge take for the community and 150 units and the city First College of preference. Nearly four acres of publicly assessed space and with the development of the Child Care Center. I am most proud that what a child friendly San Francisco could look like and to attend the Housing Development for housing with children. And also the child friendly San Francisco sort of element that
