Commissioner oh, im representing jenna and david lieb, who owned the property at 615 sanchez at the end of your calendar, i understand that sue has to will be calling in and asking for a continuance for this matter. She didnt let me know. She hasnt been involved in this case. She hasnt filed a brief. I understand she may not be. Well, i certainly hope for the best. But you know, my clients feel that if shes calling in to ask for a continuance, perhaps shes well enough to call in for the five minute presentation that she would have on on a requester. But we hope shes shes better. I think we need to ask her who shes representing, if shes representing the adjacent neighbor, the most affected one, sammy host, then shes representing someone who hasnt requested excuse me, if shes representing the owner of the building at 619, then shes representing someone who is not a requester. And i dont think she should have standing to ask for that as a member of the public. Really. Shouldnt be concerned with continuances. If shes representing the owner of six, one of the adjacent property, which is owned by sammy host and her llc, then why isnt the client here in lieu of ms. Hester making a case. If one requester is available today and the other has her attorney sick . We dont see why the doctor request who doesnt have an attorney whos sick, cant go forward today. Excuse me, mr.

Thank you, commissioners. We will now move on to Department Matters directors announcement. Hi, commissioners. Richard gray, Deputy Director of current planning. We have no announcements at this time that will now take us to review of past events that the board of supervisors board of appeals and Historic Preservation commission. I am not seeing anyone here for the board of supervisors report, but i sorry, do you have it . Yes. So hi, commissioners. Richard gray again, im here for aaron star. Obviously, i am not aaron star, but i am reading his report this week. The Land Use Committee took up the duplicated file for the Small Business month fee waiver commissioners. This item was duplicated so that the duplicated file could be amended to include the Planning Commissions recommended modifications and then re referred back to the bic for their reviewing comment and recommendation. When the Planning Commission heard this item on may 4th and unanimously recommended approval with a modification to expand the program to all signs applied during the month of may. Not just awnings or signed copy on awnings. Super visor and gaudio included. This amendment and the duplicated file that was considered at land use this week. However at the suggestion of supervisor chan, the expansion of the fee waiver will only apply for may 2023 and may 2024. This week there was little discussion and no Public Comment and the item was forwarded to the full board with a positive recommendation. Next, the committee took up two ordinances at once. The Development Impact fee indexing ordinance and the Development Impact fee reduction ordinance sponsored by the mayor and supervisor peskin respectively. Commissioners, you heard these items on july 13th and recommended approval with modifications for both for the indexing ordinance you recommended eliminate the Development Impact fees assessed on changes of use throughout the planning code and for the Development Impact fee reduction amendments. Not sure if you read all of that, but the amendments included applying the reduction of section 415 a and 415 b to inclusion projects of all sizes, not only to projects with 25 units or more. Two authorizing temporary rate reduction for Pipeline Projects that have used the sf program. Three standardizing deadline with various rate reduction programs and between the Inclusionary Housing Program and other standard timelines for remove the requirement for two or more people to occupy middle income units. Five remove the on site off site and fee rates set forth in planning code. Section four 418 for the urban mixed use district for all projects. Six simplify the requirements set forth in division and by removing the distinction for projects that were up zoned through the creation of the visit arrow nct seven. Modify the planning code to maintain the same on site off site and fee rates for both rental housing and ownership projects beginning november 1st, 2026 eight modify the planning code to remove the annual increases from the inclusionary Affordable Housing program, which are set to begin on july january 1st, 2028, and finally nine. Correct. The proposed citywide fee off site rate for interim rate projects to 20. 4 instead of 20. 5, and adjust the low income tier to 11. 4 instead of 11. 5. Theres a lot the committee delayed the file at supervisor spys request in order to include some of the amendments. However, supervisor peskin said that he was not inclined to include any of those amendments to the duplicated ordinance, so the committee ultimately did not take any of the Planning Commissions recommendations. This does not have implementation impacts for the department, as many of the amendments were common sense changes intended to simplify our existing process, which is extremely complicated. The Committee Members had a robust discussion about these two ordinances. Supervisor peskin explain the history of the inclusion ordinance. The reasoning behind the reduction and the process that led to their proposed reductions. Supervisor peskin was unconvinced that the spease and inclusionary numbers should be reduced and challenged. The assumption that these changes would lead to any new housing at all, he asked if anyone had projected how much money were set to lose should this pass. We did not. There was also significant Public Comment with most callers objecting to the reduction of fees and questioning the need for Additional Market rate housing. In San Francisco, the committee did end up moving the item to the full board on a 2 to 1 vote with supervisor preston voting against the motion. And then lastly, the committee considered supervisor melgar Family Housing opportunity sued ordinance. This ordinance would remove process requirements for demolition and Public Notice for building expansion. In addition to providing more density for projects in Zoning Districts that meet specific requirements. Commissioners may recall that this was heard last week and amended by supervisor melgar. Peskin also had amendments that he wanted to incorporate. However, they had not been drafted to form yet. This week those amendments were added and included one requiring a queue if demolishing any rent controlled units to ensuring Group Housing sud controls still apply. Three ad amendments to ensure that only one unit would be permitted in the rear yard should the project be allowed to have more than four units based on lot area four, excluding the north beach sud and the Telegraph Hill sud from the proposed Family Housing opportunity sud and five some clerical amendments. Public comment wasnt as robust as last time, but there were commenters in support and opposition to the ordinance. After Public Comment, the committee voted to forward the full item to the full board as a committee recruit. And this ends aaron starrs report. Thank you. Thank you. Hpc the Historic Preservation commission did not meet this week. I do have a report from the Zoning Administrator for the board of appeals, the board of appeals met last night and considered several appeals of interest to the Planning Commission as an appeal of the Zoning Administrator interpretation related to the method of measurement for bulk controls and associated definition of planned dimensions. The interpretation stated that unless specifically specified elsewhere in the planning code, the maximum plan dimensions per specific bulk limits apply within the exterior walls of each individual building or structure, such that a single building may not have multiple vertical elements such as separate towers that collectively exceed the maximum permitted plan dimensions. However separate buildings on the same lot wil
