Commissioner Antonini:

Just reporting that: the Secretary Search Subcommittee joint meeting between the Planning Commission and Historic Preservation Commission continues to meet. We met yesterday and we will be meeting again in three weeks and we'll keep you apprised of the progress in this venture.

Commissioner Sugaya:

In the Business Times there's an article, lengthy articles on housing in the City and something like 8,000 units are under construction, at this point or about to be, but there was a smaller article accompanying the main one that noted that I think somewhere around 10 percent or less are actually able to be converted to condominiums. According to the article, it had to do with the financing that developers have taken on or the nature of their business or whatever, but they used a figure of 10 percent, so the majority appear to be apartments for I don't know, forever, but for a good long time.

C. DEPARTMENT MATTERS

5. Director’s Announcements

Director Rahaim:

In the interest of time, I'll pass on the report there's nothing urgent on this week's hearing.

6. Review of Past Week’s Events at the Board of Supervisors, Board of Appeals, and Historic Preservation Commission.

LAND USE COMMITTEE:

· 130180 Pre-Application Meetings Required in PDR-1B. PC approved on May 9.

· 111278 Art & Design SUD 1111 8^th Street. This ordinance would create an SUD to allow educational institutions without use size limits; to permit student housing; and to allow the ZA to authorize temporary structures without a public hearing for property currently occupied by the California College of Arts. This ordinance was recommended for approval by this Commission on April 25. At the hearing two speakers asked the Committee to recommend approval—which they did. This will likely be heard at the next BOS hearing.

· BF 121019 & 130248 Supervisor Wiener & Kim’s CEQA Procedures Ordinance. Both items were called together again at the Committee on Monday. This was the first hearing where Supervisor Kim’s proposal was potentially “actionable” as you heard last week Supervisor Kim’s Ordinance was heard last Wednesday by the HPC yesterday and that Commission passed a resolution that was the same as your recommendation (approval of some portions, disapproval of other portions and to explore four additional questions[1]) with the following additions:

1. Planning to provide an analysis that clarifies the differences between Supervisor Kim and Supervisor Wiener’s Legislation regarding when an exemption appeal period ends, i.e. the difference between first approval and last approval.

2. The Legislation should allow entitlements, including Landmark designation, be allowed to move forward while the appeal is pending.

3. The Legislation should clarify the role of the HPC in the appeals process.

This week the Clerk of the board requested minor amendments and three members of the public spoke. The Planning Department also presented the memorandum which I’m providing to you now. This memo responds to the four additional questions that this Commission asked with regards to Supervisor Kim’s proposal. This memo describes our current and planned notification capacities; approvals while an appeal is pending and potential avenues for prioritizing affordable housing and other priority projects. Board President Chiu restated his commitment to bring potential amendments forward to Supervisor Wiener’s proposal. Both items were continued to the call of the Chair.

FULL BOARD OF SUPERVISORS:

· 130070 Duboce Park Historic District. Sponsored by Supe. W. This recommendation by the HPC to create a new historic district was considered and unanimously approved by the BOS on first reading this week. Supervisor Campos asked to be added as a cosponsor.

INTRODUCTIONS:

· 130252 Administrative Code Amendment—Establishing a Street Design Review Committee to review proposals for consistency with the City’s Better Streets Plan. The Committee would include: the Mayor, who would act as chair; the Director of Public Works; the Director of Transportation for the Municipal Transportation Agency; the Director of Planning; the General Manager of the Public Utilities Commission; the Director of the Department of Economic and Workforce Development; and, the City Fire Marshal.
