Speaker good afternoon, supervisors my name is woody la bounty im the president of ceo of San Francisco heritage. Im ask you sincerely to recommend bringing in forward. Were very very excite today have the fire station 44 brought forward as an article 10 city landmark. I want to thank supervisor walton and natalie g for doing everything they do with the community to help us identify worthy candidate for resources and visitation valley. Until early 2022, we worked with residents in visitation valley on what we thought might be a good historic project, and they came together to identify that there was not one city landmark in this city neighborhood. So we worked very closely with the Supervisors Office to bring Saint James Presbyterian Church which was successful and were delighted that fire station 44 has been brought forward. I do want to make a reminder that the Fire Department offered to throw us a bbq if this happens. So i hope to have a celebratory bbq soon. Thank you very much. Clerk thank you very much for your comment. Anyone Public Comment . Madam chair. Thank you, Public Comment on this item is now closed. Thank you, ms. G. I would like to make a motion that we send this item out of the committee with a positive recommendation. On the motion recommendation. Aye. Aye. Peskin. Aye. Skhair melgar. Aye. Madam chair, there are three ayes. Thank you so much. Lets go to item number 2. Clerk ordinance a meaned amending the code in the district extension. Thank you for hearing this item today. Im just a little history how we got here. As you maze recall on this duplicated file originals from a prior ordinance within three Historic Districts in the Northeast Park of the city which was supervisor peskins legislation and those are the jackson Historic District and the extension of that and also the northeast water front district. When the original file was made, i made it clear that i would look for a policy solution that would enable more dense mixes in new Housing Construction as as long as these buildings do not damage the you integrity of the areas. Since then ive worked with the citys team to endeavor to achieve this solution. The amendments being considered today are the result of this work. These amendments create a density exception specifically within these three Historic Districts. This density will allow future housing to allow form base density controls only if these projects do not utilize the double density bonus. And the goal here is to allow housing proj toekts a provide more affordable units while ensuring that these projects are not out of scale with the buildings that are contribute to the historic nature of the three landmark districts. Were just talking about a small area here and to be clear about these amendments, more now needs to be done to better understand this approach. The double density bonus that allows for a 100 increase in unit count was enacted just this year. While after we passed the policies and guidelines. All stakeholders that ive spoken to agree that more analysis needs to be done to understand the impact of the double density bonus especially within thaoz areas. Im confident that these analysis can be done through these order nanz and im asking the committee to accept these committees. That does not indicate approve of them per se, but by accepting the amendments so that this new ordinance can be studies by the experts of the Planning Department and then it will go to the Planning Commission again. And i want to thank president peskin in the City Attorneys Office for the conversations weve had up until this point. And i look forward to the Planning Department to achieve the goal that were trying to get to. And the goal that works on policies solution that encourages more Housing Options on these wonderful neighborhoods w. Those, those are my comment ons that and i want supervisor peskin to weigh in as well. Thank you, supervisor stefani, i think our goals are the same. As i said when we went through this whole contentious mess, our intention when with the ordinance that we passed in the c2 was always to allow additional density, i think what we did not understand is the combination of form base density with state bonus density would lead to proposals for super sized luxury condominiums not far from our water front that vasly exceeded the height limits. The workout was to revisit that for a small portion of the c2 in some of the citys, the citys earliest district, the Historic District. But i share the goal, and the goal was never to allow squeezing of double density to produce a wall of towers. And as supervisor stefani said, there are a number of questions which remain unclear to all of us which should be studied before we advance this ordinance. So i am open to adopting these amendments and sending them to planning for analysis, i think the City Attorney who is not a planner said, it may do what we both intend it does, but i think were going to leave that to the professional planners to analyze. So im happy to send it it over to planning and see what they have to say. Okay, thank you so much. With that lets go to Public Comment on this item please. Thank you, if you have Public Comment on agenda item number 2, please come to the lecture at this time. It appears nrr no speakers. Okay. I guess there is no Public Comment, there you g. Public comment on this item is now closed. I would like to make a motion that we adopt these amendments that were circulated by supervisor stefani and that we continue this to the call of the chair. On the motion offered by the chair that the ordinance be amended and then continued to the call of the chair as amended. Pes ton. Aye. Peskin. Aye. Chair melgar. Aye. Clerk madam chair, there are three ayes. That motion passes, congratulations supervisor stefani. Lets go to item number 3.
