Without objection the ordinances passed unanimously on the First Reading [gavel] item number 12 a resolution to reaffirm the board of supervisors support for urban agriculture and urging the evaluation and allocation of appropriate properties for urban agriculture. He was supervisor ronen yes. Colleagues im proud to have assumed authorship of this ordinance from former district 11 supervisor john avalos. And supervisor avalos had introduced this resolution originally on the heels of the closure of little city Garden District 11. It was a beloved favorite garden there was a National Model for urban farming. And after the closure and the realization that in order to be able to sustain urban agriculture in the city, farmers really need stable use of land that cant be taken away when the farm is at its most productive state. We have a long history in the city of supporting urban agriculture. In 2009 former mayor gavin newsom signed executive order 903 which was the healthy and Sustainable Food for San Francisco. In 2011 we modified the planning code to allow urban agriculture in all zones, and supported as recently as 2014 the creation of the states first urban agricultural sensitive zone throughout the city to evaluate possible sites for urban agriculture. Through the process legislative process, there has been some questions about competing priorities for land use such as housing. Which, is a huge priority for me, but i do believe that urban agriculture is also a very important priority for the city and specifically, when there are areas of land that are not suitable for Housing Development that evaluating those for urban agriculture is something we should be doing. This resolution calls for the assessment of a limited number of suitable sites that do to develop and challenges have been rendered bacon or not use. The criteria for assessment include sites for flooding, limited access to egress, historical agricultural usage, and sites identified by the city where community is desirable for agriculture. I also passed out a number of couple on substantive amendments. Specifically, on page 2, line 22, i wanted to include them in a Public Health and other cities departments as was the San Francisco Unified School District to evaluate possible sites that might fit the criteria for urban agriculture. On page 3, line 10 i want to clarify that i hope the multiple urban agricultural sites not just wondered farmer finally i want to thank supervisor cannot los for starting this. The process for this resolution Caitlin Galloway from the little city gardens, or and look for urban sf alliance. The greenhouse project and [inaudible] the cofounder of the greenhouse project. Eliza get from spur and [inaudible] from sf cause. For working with me on the language for this resolution and for their work emphasizing and fighting for the importance of securing land for urban agriculture. Thank you. Thank you. Supervisor ronen has made a motion to amend second by supervisor peskin colleagues can take the amendment without objection . Without objection the moment pass. [gavel] supervisor safai thank you supervisor ronen for caring the spirit actually interacted with this particular farm over a number of years and they provided a tremendous amount of place or opportunity for people to organize and build community and i think thats an important aspect of this program. I am wondering if we can add a friendly commitment. To ask the department of public works, also, investigate theres a lot of unaccepted public right of ways or unaccepted streets that they have in their street Parks Program but some of the parcels are very large. We had one at the garden that we built its usually half a city block it there are other areas in the city the not available based on the slope and the configuration maybe we can ask that a permanent public works to investigate that as well . But very supportive of this. Please, add me as a cosponsor okay. So supervisor safai is there a specific amendment and maybe our deputy City Attorney john kim can help us understand what it can be included as a friendly amendment. Thats on substantive . It would essentially be in the area of lines 2124 where they mention the names of the departments. We could just add the department of public works okay. Supervisor safai has made an amendment to add that upon the public works. Is there a second . Second by supervisor ronen. Colleagues can we take that moment without objection .

I submit thank you supervisor supervisor farrell thank you mme. Clerk. Colleagues from over 2. 5 years ago the sport through legislation i offered start and bows green finance sf piece Financing Program green finance sf is a program overseen by department of environment gives residence business favorable financing opportunities to pursue Energy Efficiency and Water Conservation upgrades to their property. The financing on this property sets clean energy, or pace, allows homeowners and businesses to pay for these new Energy Efficiency and Water Conservation upgrades to an annual additional assessment on the property tax bill. This excessive green finance sf ever since has been spoken for itself. Just over two years approximately 7. 2 million in new projects have been financed. At 167 Residential Properties across our city. We see in the equivalent of taking 1307 cars off the road for you year extra green finance sf. Just like was promised when the program be started green finance sf is saving residences and businesses money on their monthly utility bills reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions and in creating new local jobs in the emerging clean energy sector. This program is done at no cost to the city. Its been a winwin for residents and businesses looking to save money and to the be environmentally conscious. With the success of our program and the success of patient financing throughout the state of california and our country right now, or pace providers have been looking to enter our local market to offer their services to residents and businesses. I think like all of us i believe more competition leads to lower prices more affordable terms for residents. So today the bill in the programs success in introducing a package apace policies that do three distinct things. First of all, it asked the board to authorize three new certified residential pace providers to enter our local market and participate in green finance sf. When we we started green finance sf two years ago we were the first locality in the state of california to allow more than one pace provider into our local program. Like i said before multiple providers compete for businesses has been a success for residents and businesses and for my perspective the more providers the merrier. Second, since the restart of green finance sf, our department of the interment has seen demand in the market for peace projects on small commercial buildings. The city runs an existing large commercial pace program for projects over 1 million. Given the demand the second package of policies seeks to establish a new commercialgreen finance sf program for product between 50,000 and 1 million. More businesses are realizing it helps their bottomline to be environment only conscious so i look forward to offering and working with a permanent the environment to allocate this business to new Small Business Community Across our city. Lastly, im introducing legislation to ensure that pace providers Offering Services in our local market are adhering to strict Consumer Protection and data sharing standards. The association of bay area governments or a bag, recently created a bleaching regional Collaborative Research agreement with is that which is Consumer Protection standards and other best practices to follow residential pace providers. His last piece of legislation simply signs onto regional Collaborative Services agreement. With tremendous public and friends in congress doing everything in power to rollback environmental protections, and stick their heads in the sand regarding Climate Change, more than ever at the local level to keep pushing ahead with policies that can help the environment and mitigate the effects of Climate Change their payment of the interment has data that shows green finance sf over the past few years as a residences businesses to date a total of 3. 70 on electric bills , three and 40,000 on gas bills, and will have saved 1. 8 million million gallons of water over 25 years. Additionally, the program has reduced Greenhouse Gas emissions by over 6000 metric tons, again the equivalent or 1300 cars off the road a year. The real result in real benefits varsity. Look forward to the discussion ahead. Expanding our green finance as a program and hope for everyone support when the time comes. The rest i submit thank you supervisor farrell. Supervisor fewer thank you i want to recognize the San Francisco land trust in Small Sites Acquisition Program dennys, richmond in surpassing 100 units acquired. And protected through the critically important program.
