00:59:10,601 the contract with Lexie Paul 902 00:59:10,601 --> 00:59:14,201 there's a lot that Lexie Paul 903 00:59:14,572 --> 00:59:15,272 does in terms of data 904 00:59:15,272 --> 00:59:18,272

for 908 00:59:23,580 --> 00:59:24,447 quite a while now for at least 909 00:59:24,447 --> 00:59:27,447 5 to 10 years We've gotten used 910 00:59:29,190 --> 00:59:29,686 to their working style but they 911 00:59:29,686 --> 00:59:30,387 were really uncomfortable to 912 00:59:30,387 --> 00:59:33,758 work with at first and I think 913 00:59:33,758 --> 00:59:34,492 we have to be noting that in 914 00:59:34,492 --> 00:59:37,492 this time that we're addressing 915 00:59:38,963 --> 00:59:39,430 issues that Lexie posed they're 916 00:59:39,430 --> 00:59:41,430 a little tough. 917 00:59:42,666 --> 00:59:43,200 They tend to work with police 918 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,200 more than community. 919 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:48,805 And so I, I hope like what was 920 00:59:48,805 --> 00:59:49,307

move forward 924 00:59:57,114 --> 00:59:57,882 with our with our good thinking 925 00:59:57,882 --> 00:59:58,382 and best practices and we don't 926 00:59:58,382 --> 01:00:00,382 let them languish. 927 01:00:02,719 --> 01:00:03,321 It's okay to move forward with 928 01:00:03,321 --> 01:00:05,721 our best practices and. 929 01:00:06,570 --> 01:00:06,924 Question Lexie Paul there used 930 01:00:06,924 --> 01:00:07,558 to be one of the question flock 931 01:00:07,558 --> 01:00:08,259 That can be okay and that 932 01:00:08,259 --> 01:00:11,259 should be an okay conversation 933 01:00:11,329 --> 01:00:11,995 to have publicly Good luck how 934 01:00:11,995 --> 01:00:15,595 we can have it have those 935 01:00:15,966 --> 01:00:16,734 conversations and for items 54 936 01:00:16,734 --> 01:00:19,134 through 60 and pure water 937 01:00:20,638 --> 01:00:21,305 things and also sewer issues 938 01:00:21,305 --> 01:00:24,905 which are right next to each 939 01:00:24,976 --> 01:00:25,676 other you have about 4 or 5 940 01:00:25,676 --> 01:00:26,477 items on pure water and then 941 01:00:26,477 --> 01:00:29,130 you have two items going on 942 01:00:29,130 --> 01:00:29,981 sewer construction issues. 943 01:00:29,981 --> 01:00:34,520 I try to bring sewer issues and 944 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:34,786 pure water issues together When 945 01:00:34,786 -->

--> 01:05:07,894 the capabilities are and 1087 01:05:07,894 --> 01:05:08,327 looking at people's backgrounds 1088 01:05:08,327 --> 01:05:10,327 and histories. 1089 01:05:11,530 --> 01:05:12,265 If we haven't learned from 1090 01:05:12,265 --> 01:05:12,932 the Amy NOx harm reduction case 1091 01:05:12,932 --> 01:05:15,332 where background checks were 1092 01:05:17,700 --> 01:05:17,670 pulled but yet somehow her four 1093 01:05:17,670 --> 01:05:20,700 year prison sentence for 1094 01:05:22,408 --> 01:05:23,109 massive fraud went undetected 1095 01:05:23,109 --> 01:05:26,709 and then we continue to award 1096 01:05:27,147 --> 01:05:27,614 the millions of dollars for 1097 01:05:27,614 --> 01:05:28,415 harm reduction. 1098 01:05:28,415 --> 01:05:32,150 So that was you know, after 1099 01:05:32,850 --> 01:05:32,719 multiple reports of what was 1100 01:05:32,719 --> 01:05:33,420 actually going on and then 1101 01:05:33,420 --> 01:05:34,540 continue to award them, that's 1102 01:05:34,540 --> 01:05:36,923 the same exact thing that 1103 01:05:36,923 --> 01:05:37,557 happened with the rehab 1104 01:05:37,557 --> 01:05:39,957 contract that is basically 1105 01:05:42,696 --> 01:05:43,363 uncovering everything that's 1106 01:05:43,363 --> 01:05:44,300 taking place in the county, 1107 01:05:44,300 --> 01:05:44,497 the city in the malfeasance 1108 01:05:44,497 --> 01:05:46,497 side of things. 1109 01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:48,100 So our just must have been 1110 01:05:48,100 --> 01:05:48,668 updated or are just must have 1111 01:05:48,668 --> 01:05:51,668 been altered to allow these 1112 01:05:52,572 --> 01:05:53,173 criminal convictions huge 1113 01:05:53,173 --> 01:05:53,940 felonies to be removed. 1114 01:05:53,940 --> 01:05:58,140 So if we have a good tracking 1115 01:05:58,178 --> 01:05:58,878 system for applicants with 1116 01:05:58,878 --> 01:06:01,615 the county and city that would 1117 01:06:01,615 --> 01:06:02,749 be good on the 58. 1118 01:06:02,749 --> 01:06:07,286 So I think we need to look at 1119 01:06:07,286 --> 01:06:10,286 this this big case with 1120 01:06:11,525 --> 01:06:14,525 Mitchell drug kingpin that was 1121

we're the border, right? 1125 01:06:22,535 --> 01:06:22,968 So we need to look at what's 1126 01:06:22,968 --> 01:06:24,968 going on here. 1127 01:06:26,506 --> 01:06:27,174 We need to pay attention to 1128 01:06:27,174 --> 01:06:30,174 the sewage crisis not making 1129 01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:32,713 freight trucks more accessible 1130 01:06:32,713 --> 01:06:33,113 and easier to pass through 1131 01:06:33,113 --> 01:06:35,113 the border. 1132 01:06:38,180 --> 01:06:41,618 Otay I have deep concerns about 1133 01:06:41,688 --> 01:06:42,456 the like the fact that the two 1134 01:06:42,456 --> 01:06:43,230 are to one a sewage crisis is 1135 01:06:43,230 --> 01:06:45,230 important priorities. 1136 01:06:45,893 --> 01:06:46,760 I like to see that we have 1137 01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:50,360 items on here that look to 1138 01:06:51,865 --> 01:06:52,633 address it but we might want to 1139 01:06:52,633 --> 01:06:56,833 look at the ceo of sandag who 1140 01:06:57,104 --> 01:06:57,738 was appointed and then suddenly 1141 01:06:57,738 --> 01:07:00,738 Dora Vargas resigns out of 1142 01:07:02,109 --> 01:07:02,776 safety concerns and his primary 1143 01:07:02,776 --> 01:07:03,577 concern is okay and $130 1144 01:07:03,577 --> 01:07:06,577 million to replace conduit and 1145 01:07:07,915 --> 01:07:08,649 billions of dollars to allow 1146 01:07:08,649 --> 01:07:09,483 trucks to pass through quickly. 1147 01:07:09,483 --> 01:07:12,686 I don't know It doesn't seem 1148 01:07:12,686 --> 01:07:13,254 really legit to me. 1149 01:07:13,254 --> 01:07:13,654 It seems actually very 1150 01:07:13,654 --> 01:07:15,654 concerning. 1151 01:07:18,191 --> 01:07:18,959 So so yeah, let's let's clean 1152 01:07:18,959 --> 01:07:22,559 up sewage crisis and and not 1153 01:07:22,663 -->

01:11:26,942 --> 01:11:27,609 contracts with the city. 1291 01:11:27,609 --> 01:11:28,277 Does anyone remember the red 1292 01:11:28,277 --> 01:11:28,944 light camera deal that Mayor 1293 01:11:28,944 --> 01:11:31,944 Sanders made with a private 1294 01:11:32,581 --> 01:11:33,315 business? 1295 01:11:33,315 --> 01:11:33,983 That business got a cut of 1296 01:11:33,983 --> 01:11:34,550 the money from those tickets 1297 01:11:34,550 --> 01:11:37,550 And what did we find? 1298 01:11:38,420 --> 01:11:39,880 Well, of course we found that 1299 01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:39,788 there was a conflict of 1300 01:11:39,788 --> 01:11:40,488 interest between the business 1301 01:11:40,488 --> 01:11:42,888 profit and justice prohibited. 1302 01:11:43,759 --> 01:11:44,259 Fortunately, Mayor Filner 1303 01:11:44,259 --> 01:11:44,827 stopped that scam. 1304 01:11:44,827 --> 01:11:45,561 What do we see with 1305 01:11:45,561 --> 01:11:48,561 the contract in Highland Cloud? 1306 01:11:50,310 --> 01:11:50,733 We see that citizens have to go 1307 01:11:50,733 --> 01:11:51,433 to a private website to obtain 1308 01:11:51,433 --> 01:11:53,833 city documents, the documents 1309 01:11:54,770 --> 01:11:55,437 and other materials are created 1310 01:11:55,437 --> 01:11:56,710 by the city but rather than 1311 01:11:56,710 --> 01:11:56,672 publish those documents on 1312 01:11:56,672 --> 01:11:59,720 the city's own website, 1313 01:12:00,509 --> 01:12:01,176 the city is paying an outside 1314 01:12:01,176 --> 01:12:01,877 business to host those items 1315 01:12:01,877 --> 01:12:05,477 The citizens have to visit or 1316 01:12:06,148 --> 01:12:06,649 be registered with private for 1317 01:12:06,649 --> 01:12:07,316 profit businesses. 1318 01:12:07,316 --> 01:12:07,850 They get city documents and 1319 01:12:07,850 --> 01:12:09,850 notice that's crazy. 1320 01:12:12,253 --> 01:12:12,955 What do we see with a business 1321 01:12:12,955 --> 01:12:13,656 managing our own John's Park a 1322 01:12:13,656 --> 01:12:14,323 parking structure We see that 1323 01:12:14,323 --> 01:12:17,323 the business decided it was 1324 01:12:17,994 --> 01:12:18,727 inconvenient to accept cash so 1325 01:12:18,727 --> 01:12:19,428 therefore citizens do have some 1326 01:12:19,428 --> 01:12:22,428 other form of private business 1327 01:12:23,165 --> 01:12:23,766 relationship such as the credit 1328 01:12:23,766 --> 01:12:24,500 card the in our parking 1329 01:12:24,500 --> 01:12:25,134 structure as I mentioned before 1330 01:12:25,134 --> 01:12:27,534 I personally resisted that 1331 01:12:29,105 --> 01:12:29,772 practice and are now has been 1332 01:12:29,772 --> 01:12:30,339 gracious enough to accept my 1333 01:12:30,339 --> 01:12:31,700 cash payments so far. 1334 01:12:31,700 --> 01:12:34,700 But this shows how business 1335 01:12:34,877 --> 01:12:35,610 interests cannot be trusted to 1336 01:12:35,610 --> 01:12:38,100 manage public resources without 1337 01:12:40,649 --> 01:12:41,350 some form of oversight And 1338 01:12:41,350 --> 01:12:42,510 the granddaddy of them all is 1339 01:12:42,510 --> 01:12:45,510 the Torrey Pines Glider port. 1340 01:12:46,522 --> 01:12:47,223 That's a tricky one Because of 1341 01:12:47,223 --> 01:12:47,957 the two steps removed the city 1342 01:12:47,957 --> 01:12:48,558 leases are part to the business 1343 01:12:48,558 --> 01:12:50,958 known as our California 1344 01:12:51,827 --> 01:12:52,527 Adventure And then our 1345 01:12:52,527 --> 01:12:53,162 California adventure requires 1346 01:12:53,162 --> 01:12:53,896 citizens to be members of 1347 01:12:53,896 --> 01:12:56,896 another business called Uber to 1348 01:12:57,567 --> 01:12:58,267 use the site usually has 1349 01:12:58,267 --> 01:12:58,968 decided that it can use public 1350 01:12:58,968 --> 01:13:01,968 testimony in court or even 1351 01:13:03,572 --> 01:13:04,239 public testimony to this city 1352 01:13:04,239 --> 01:13:04,774 council as justification for 1353 01:13:04,774 --> 01:13:05,208 expulsion from their 1354 01:13:05,208 --> 01:13:07,208 organization. 1355 01:13:10,580 --> 01:13:11,247 I know this because I was 1356

it's a California adventure 1360 01:13:17,487 --> 01:13:18,254 . 1361 01:13:18,254 --> 01:13:18,988 Simply go to your phone and ask 1362 01:13:18,988 --> 01:13:19,589 them to expel anyone they don't

01:19:47,382 actually going to happen, when 1588 01:19:47,382 --> 01:19:47,561 you're going to need all these 1589 01:19:47,561 --> 01:19:47,740 attorneys to protect you and to 1590 01:19:47,740 -->

So it's it's ridiculous 1603 01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:02,828 the kinds of things that we 1604 01:20:02,828 --> 01:20:03,461 have to spend money on when 1605 01:20:03,461 --> 01:20:06,461 again people

01:20:37,950 --> 01:20:37,830 >> I mean I just I'm just 1623 01:20:37,830 --> 01:20:41,430 asking if we contract with this 1624 01:20:42,868 --> 01:20:43,535 law firm if we look at every 1625 01:20:43,535 --> 01:20:44,203 single individual in the law 1626 01:20:44,203 --> 01:20:44,904 firm and who's for 60 forms 1627 01:20:44,904 --> 01:20:48,504 they appear on I guarantee you 1628 01:20:48,941 --> 01:20:49,608 they're all over summer 1629 01:20:49,608 --> 01:20:53,208 Steffens And if they are I'm 1630 01:20:54,613 --> 01:20:55,448 asking that the board do does 1631 01:20:55,448 --> 01:20:56,820 take a look at the relationship 1632 01:20:56,820 --> 01:20:59,820 between this firm and her 1633 01:21:01,854 --> 01:21:02,555 office and her family. 1634 01:21:02,555 --> 01:21:03,254 Her family makes every single 1635 01:21:03,254 --> 01:21:03,956 decision every single court in 1636 01:21:03,956 --> 01:21:06,792 San Diego and has done so for 1637 01:21:06,792 --> 01:21:07,593 years decades right. 1638 01:21:07,593 --> 01:21:08,127 So I think that's an important 1639 01:21:08,127 --> 01:21:10,527 one for the people. 1640 01:21:12,765 --> 01:21:13,466 So if if this law firm is 1641 01:21:13,466 --> 01:21:14,100 the one selected to I guess 1642 01:21:14,100 --> 01:21:16,500 represent the city against 1643 01:21:19,605 --> 01:21:20,273 the people or the county, I'm 1644 01:21:20,273 --> 01:21:20,907 not quite sure what it is. 1645 01:21:20,907 --> 01:21:21,574 It seems like probably for 1646 01:21:21,574 --> 01:21:22,174 white collar crime, right to 1647 01:21:22,174 --> 01:21:25,174 cover up all that stuff. 1648 01:21:26,780 --> 01:21:26,712 So we can just kind of track 1649 01:21:26,712 --> 01:21:27,212 those campaign donations. 1650 01:21:27,212 --> 01:21:29,212 It's vote outcome. 1651 01:21:30,183 --> 01:21:30,850 Look up the 460 forms and we 1652 01:21:30,850 --> 01:21:31,551 should look at every single 1653 01:21:31,551 --> 01:21:35,151 attorney in this firm and who 1654 01:21:35,788 --> 01:21:36,589 they're paying off. 1655 01:21:36,589 --> 01:21:37,323 It's really unfortunate that we 1656 01:21:37,323 --> 01:21:40,323 have so much malfeasance going 1657 01:21:41,694 --> 01:21:42,628 on that's gone unchecked. 1658 01:21:42,628 --> 01:21:43,495 So if we do go with this firm 1659 01:21:43,495 --> 01:21:47,950 firm I'm asking you to please 1660 01:21:48,201 --> 01:21:48,901 see how we as residents, as a 1661 01:21:48,901 --> 01:21:49,369 community can hold the people 1662 01:21:49,369 --> 01:21:51,369 accountable that 1663 01:21:54,707 --> 01:21:55,408 the organization is like 1664 01:21:55,408 --> 01:21:56,750 the bar, the state bar and spc 1665 01:21:56,750 --> 01:21:58,475 and the Judicial Commission 1666 01:21:59,746 --> 01:22:00,313 Commission employees practices 1667 01:22:00,313 --> 01:22:00,713 refuse to hold people 1668 01:22:00,713 --> 01:22:02,713 accountable. 1669 01:22:05,952 --> 01:22:06,486 We have the district attorney I 1670 01:22:06,486 --> 01:22:07,220 know the city okay? 1671 01:22:07,220 --> 01:22:10,820 But when we have somebody going 1672 01:22:12,392 --> 01:22:13,920 up and saying oh my gosh, 1673 01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:13,826 Amanda Knox or whatever it Amy 1674 01:22:13,826 --> 01:22:16,826 not spent hundreds of thousands 1675 01:22:17,363 --> 01:22:18,630 of dollars on plastic surgery 1676 01:22:18,630 --> 01:22:18,765 and credit card payments yet 1677 01:22:18,765 --> 01:22:21,765 she herself has paid hundreds 1678 01:22:23,837 --> 01:22:24,571 of thousands of

01:26:37,158 --> 01:26:40,158 real big opening on attorneys 1816 01:26:41,696 --> 01:26:42,464 and law and I realized it was 1817 01:26:42,464 --> 01:26:43,231 really a difficult thing for me 1818 01:26:43,231 --> 01:26:46,231 to accept that our legal 1819 01:26:47,802 --> 01:26:48,403 obligations create absolutely 1820 01:26:48,403 --> 01:26:51,403 every step we take along 1821 01:26:54,576 --> 01:26:55,276 the way in government And I 1822 01:26:55,276 --> 01:26:56,440 don't think I'm wrong on that. 1823 01:26:56,440 --> 01:26:59,440 I don't think I'm exaggerating 1824 01:27:00,648 --> 01:27:00,949 and I was just blown away by 1825 01:27:00,949 --> 01:27:01,649 that. 1826 01:27:01,649 --> 01:27:05,249 I needed their help And they 1827 01:27:07,322 --> 01:27:08,560 were not just there healthy 1828 01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:08,790 were vital attorneys in law but 1829 01:27:08,790 --> 01:27:12,193 at the same time the fact that 1830 01:27:12,193 --> 01:27:13,610 it just permeates everything 1831 01:27:13,610 --> 01:27:17,261 was just shocking to me And I 1832 01:27:18,332 --> 01:27:21,332 really felt sad about it. 1833 01:27:23,605 --> 01:27:24,306 But I'm on board now and so

01:27:31,790 --> 01:27:31,746 the federal level and see 1838 01:27:31,746 --> 01:27:35,317 the rule of law which is you 1839 01:27:35,317 --> 01:27:35,951 know, the gym, the heart of our 1840

01:27:55,504 very complicated. 1850 01:27:55,504 --> 01:27:59,104 But the threatening of the Fed, 1851 01:27:59,174 --> 01:27:59,874 the law of the rule of the law 1852 01:27:59,874 --> 01:28:00,575 in our country, the fact that 1853 01:28:00,575 --> 01:28:03,575 that's coming forward big time 1854 01:28:05,914 --> 01:28:06,448 now it just it's hard to not be 1855 01:28:06,448 --> 01:28:07,182

this and keep it 2137 01:37:22,207 --> 01:37:22,942 and keep it. 2138 01:37:22,942 --> 01:37:23,642 We have First Amendment rights 2139 01:37:23,642 --> 01:37:27,242 right and council right now we

don't get it. 2144 01:37:30,682 --> 01:37:34,253 I'll say it Feel better because 2145 01:37:34,253 --> 01:37:34,854 you said it. 2146 01:37:34,854 --> 01:37:35,688 People will hear it. 2147 01:37:35,688 --> 01:37:39,888 It's on city tv, you know I 2148 01:37:40,526 --> 01:37:41,227 mean this is are we need more 2149 01:37:41,227 --> 01:37:41,927 people coming forward and you 2150 01:37:41,927 --> 01:37:44,927 know First Amendment rights in 2151 01:37:45,865 --> 01:37:46,733 this way. 2152 01:37:46,733 --> 01:37:47,466 So the only concern I have is 2153 01:37:47,466 --> 01:37:51,660 that we should be learned about 2154 01:37:51,837 --> 01:37:52,537 qualified immunity when I was 2155 01:37:52,537 --> 01:37:53,406 researching code section items 2156 01:37:53,406 --> 01:37:57,676 and that was new to me So I 2157 01:37:57,676 --> 01:37:58,377 just I don't know how qualified 2158 01:37:58,377 --> 01:38:00,777 immunity is handled nationally 2159 01:38:03,349 --> 01:38:04,216 or locally but I would say that 2160 01:38:04,216 --> 01:38:07,816 I hope that there's a more 2161 01:38:10,356 --> 01:38:11,560 balanced in there that we don't 2162 01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:11,524 because the proponents people 2163 01:38:11,524 --> 01:38:13,524 really love it. 2164 01:38:16,228 --> 01:38:16,928 It keeps you all since you know 2165 01:38:16,928 --> 01:38:17,430 the overabundance of lawsuits 2166 01:38:17,430 --> 01:38:19,430 coming forward and 2167 01:38:21,300 --> 01:38:22,100 the proponents like 2168 01:38:22,100 --> 01:38:22,770 the opponents if I can say this 2169 01:38:22,770 --> 01:38:26,370 right, I think that it you 2170 01:38:26,938 --> 01:38:27,573 know, it allows officials 2171 01:38:27,573 --> 01:38:30,573 perhaps a little too much 2172 01:38:33,845 --> 01:38:34,413 leeway to not have to come 2173 01:38:34,413 --> 01:38:35,114 forward in litigation. 2174 01:38:35,114 --> 01:38:35,848 So I don't know the full truth 2175 01:38:35,848

01:39:27,467 port. 2204 01:39:27,467 --> 01:39:29,467 The court erroneously 2205 01:39:31,971 --> 01:39:32,672 determined that that business 2206 01:39:32,672 --> 01:39:33,406 somehow is a private citizen, 2207 01:39:33,406 --> 01:39:36,406 that those are private citizens 2208 01:39:38,377 --> 01:39:38,978 and I cannot show what they're 2209 01:39:38,978 --> 01:39:41,978 doing in our glider

01:39:45,752 --> 01:39:46,418 figures. 2214 01:39:46,418 --> 01:39:49,418 In fact they were determined 2215 01:39:50,323 --> 01:39:51,240 somehow not be public figures 2216 01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:51,658 Even though they're operating 2217 01:39:51,658 --> 01:39:55,258 our own city park the city 2218 01:39:56,562 --> 01:39:57,263 should have stepped in to help 2219 01:39:57,263 -->

01:49:12,489 --> 01:49:13,156 from foster care and better 2523 01:49:13,156 --> 01:49:13,823 groups from their families. 2524 01:49:13,823 --> 01:49:16,223 And it's interesting because 2525 01:49:18,950 --> 01:49:18,695 you guys you know also 2526 01:49:18,695 --> 01:49:19,396 incentivized a bunch of 2527 01:49:19,396 --> 01:49:21,396 children, unaccompanied minors 2528 01:49:24,340 --> 01:49:24,867 to come across the border. 2529 01:49:24,867 --> 01:49:25,602 You had a few thousand in 2530 01:49:25,602 --> 01:49:26,270 the convention center where you 2531 01:49:26,270 --> 01:49:28,670 were surely vaccinating them 2532 01:49:29,390 --> 01:49:29,542 during pregnancy tests and 2533 01:49:29,542 --> 01:49:30,207 different things. 2534 01:49:30,207 --> 01:49:33,807 And then like a month later 2535 01:49:34,770 --> 01:49:34,711 they just disappeared because 2536 01:49:34,711 --> 01:49:35,120 they got their sponsor. 2537 01:49:35,120 --> 01:49:35,913 Right. 2538 01:49:35,913 --> 01:49:39,513 And then, you know, hundreds of 2539 01:49:40,250 --> 01:49:40,817 thousands of those children 2540 01:49:40,817 --> 01:49:43,217 have not been checked. 2541 01:49:44,888 --> 01:49:45,289 But that's not a problem. 2542 01:49:45,289 --> 01:49:46,230 Right. 2543 01:49:46,230 --> 01:49:46,390 Let's worry about what ice is 2544 01:49:46,390 --> 01:49:47,570 doing now. 2545 01:49:47,570 --> 01:49:50,570 Let's worry about, you know, 2546 01:49:50,394 --> 01:49:50,894 making sure you guys see people 2547 01:49:50,894 --> 01:49:51,729 and are protected. 2548 01:49:51,729

01:50:00,701 everybody should be asking if 2552 01:50:01,472 --> 01:50:02,206 people are pedophiles. 2553 01:50:02,206 --> 01:50:02,873 Because if you don't care about 2554 01:50:02,873 --> 01:50:03,540 the things that are going on 2555 01:50:03,540 --> 01:50:06,540 with children, they must be 2556 01:50:06,777 --> 01:50:07,444 engaged in the abuse of them. 2557 01:50:07,444 --> 01:50:10,444 And even just sitting there 2558 01:50:12,917 --> 01:50:13,584 silent is complicity to men. 2559 01:50:13,584 --> 01:50:17,184 So the battle versus good is 2560 01:50:18,289 -->

01:52:45,437 the opportunity to speak today 2630 01:52:45,437 --> 01:52:46,370 and I want to acknowledge that 2631 01:52:46,370 --> 01:52:48,437 Vision Zero was recently 2632 01:52:49,674 --> 01:52:50,175 discussed at the Active 2633 01:52:50,175 --> 01:52:50,876 Transportation and 2634 01:52:50,876 --> 01:52:53,276 Infrastructure Committee and I 2635 01:52:54,179 --> 01:52:54,813 appreciate the city's continued 2636 01:52:54,813 --> 01:52:55,513 commitment to eliminating 2637 01:52:55,513 --> 01:52:55,881 traffic fatalities and serious 2638 01:52:55,881 --> 01:52:57,881 injuries. 2639 01:52:59,851 --> 01:53:00,485 Vision Zero is an important 2640 01:53:00,485 --> 01:53:01,185 public health goal and it 2641 01:53:01,185 --> 01:53:03,585 reflects our responsibility to 2642 01:53:04,456 --> 01:53:04,890 make San Diego streets safer 2643 01:53:04,890 --> 01:53:05,557 for everyone. 2644 01:53:05,557 --> 01:53:08,557 We know that lowering speed 2645 01:53:09,761 --> 01:53:10,395 limits and redesigning streets 2646 01:53:10,395 --> 01:53:11,630 are critical strategies. 2647 01:53:11,630 --> 01:53:13,463 Speed directly impacts crash 2648 01:53:15,667 --> 01:53:16,334 severity and when drivers are 2649 01:53:16,334 --> 01:53:18,734 attentive and sober reducing 2650 01:53:21,600 --> 01:53:21,640 speeds absolutely saves lives. 2651 01:53:21,640 --> 01:53:22,374 However, if Vision Zero is 2652 01:53:22,374 --> 01:53:25,844 going to be truly effective, we 2653 01:53:25,844 --> 01:53:26,378 must also address one of 2654 01:53:26,378 --> 01:53:27,120 the most significant 2655 01:53:27,120 --> 01:53:27,713 contributors to severe and 2656 01:53:27,713 --> 01:53:30,713 fatal crashes and that's drug 2657 01:53:30,949 --> 01:53:31,616 and alcohol impairment. 2658 01:53:31,616 --> 01:53:33,616 Nationally, about 1 in 3 2659 01:53:35,587 --> 01:53:36,540 traffic fatalities involves an 2660 01:53:36,540 --> 01:53:36,855 impaired driver. 2661 01:53:36,855 --> 01:53:40,455 A posted sign alone will not 2662 01:53:40,626 --> 01:53:41,460 change the behavior of someone 2663 01:53:41,460 --> 01:53:42,129 who is under the influence. 2664 01:53:42,129 --> 01:53:44,529 Impaired drivers have slower 2665 01:53:45,597 --> 01:53:46,465 reaction time reduced judgment 2666 01:53:46,465 --> 01:53:47,650 and are more likely to speed or 2667 01:53:47,650 --> 01:53:49,650 ignore traffic signals 2668 01:53:50,936 --> 01:53:51,537 altogether. 2669 01:53:51,537 --> 01:53:52,237 If we're serious about 2670 01:53:52,237 --> 01:53:54,637 achieving zero traffic deaths, 2671 01:53:56,175 --> 01:53:56,875 prevention must be part of 2672 01:53:56,875 --> 01:53:57,576 the process and that includes 2673 01:53:57,576 --> 01:53:59,976 incorporating drug and alcohol 2674 01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:01,880 prevention efforts, public 2675 01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:03,880 education campaigns and 2676 01:54:06,285 --> 01:54:06,585 meaningful visible enforcement 2677 01:54:06,585 --> 01:54:07,286 . 2678 01:54:07,286 --> 01:54:08,540 A simple but very impactful 2679 01:54:08,540 --> 01:54:11,540 suggestion would be to remove 2680 01:54:11,924 --> 01:54:12,624 all billboards promoting and 2681 01:54:12,624 --> 01:54:13,240 advertising marijuana products 2682 01:54:13,240 --> 01:54:15,240 in our city. 2683 01:54:16,795 --> 01:54:17,496 I urge the Council to ensure 2684 01:54:17,496 --> 01:54:17,930 that its Vision zero policies 2685 01:54:17,930 --> 01:54:19,930 move forward. 2686 01:54:21,567 --> 01:54:22,368 Impaired driving prevention is 2687 01:54:22,368 --> 01:54:23,102 not treated as a separate issue 2688 01:54:23,102 --> 01:54:26,605 but as a core piece of 2689 01:54:26,605 --> 01:54:26,972 the city's traffic safety 2690 01:54:26,972 --> 01:54:27,573 strategy. 2691 01:54:27,573 --> 01:54:27,940 >> Thank you very much. 2692 01:54:27,940 --> 01:54:29,940 Thank you. 2693 01:54:32,511 --> 01:54:33,144 Next is

yesterday 2842 01:58:59,130 --> 01:58:59,680 the city government including 2843 01:58:59,680 --> 01:59:02,680 Todd Gloria, Joe LaCava and 2844 01:59:02,917 --> 01:59:03,618 this entire council has been 2845 01:59:03,618 --> 01:59:04,318 allowing a private business to 2846 01:59:04,318 --> 01:59:07,918 abuse its role in managing one 2847 01:59:08,155 --> 01:59:08,788 of our most iconic city parks 2848 01:59:08,788 --> 01:59:09,900 at the Torrey Pines Glider 2849 01:59:09,900 --> 01:59:09,790 port. 2850 01:59:09,790 --> 01:59:12,593 As I also mentioned yesterday, 2851 01:59:12,593 --> 01:59:13,294 it's certainly reasonable for 2852 01:59:13,294 --> 01:59:13,861 the city to purchase products 2853 01:59:13,861 --> 01:59:15,861 from outside vendors. 2854 01:59:16,897 --> 01:59:17,565 It's even reasonable for 2855 01:59:17,565 --> 01:59:17,932 the city to purchase outside 2856 01:59:17,932 --> 01:59:18,566 services. 2857 01:59:18,566 --> 01:59:21,566 But it is unreasonable and 2858 01:59:22,236 --> 01:59:22,903 inappropriate for the city to 2859 01:59:22,903 --> 01:59:25,303 force citizens into business 2860 01:59:26,440 --> 01:59:27,740 and membership relationships 2861 01:59:27,740 --> 01:59:27,775 with private businesses in 2862 01:59:27,775 --> 01:59:30,775 order to access city services 2863 01:59:31,679 --> 01:59:32,213 and resources including access 2864 01:59:32,213 --> 01:59:32,880 to our city parks. 2865 01:59:32,880 --> 01:59:33,247 That's where you've crossed 2866 01:59:33,247 --> 01:59:35,247 the line. 2867 01:59:37,218 --> 01:59:37,885 There is no reason why this 2868 01:59:37,885 --> 01:59:38,519 city can't manage the Torrey 2869 01:59:38,519 --> 01:59:41,255 Pines glider port just as 2870 01:59:41,255 --> 01:59:41,988 the city manages our beaches 2871 01:59:41,988 --> 01:59:45,588 and parks and tennis courts and 2872 01:59:45,793 --> 01:59:46,494 volleyball courts and dog parks 2873 01:59:46,494 --> 01:59:47,128 and streets and sidewalks and 2874 01:59:47,128 --> 01:59:49,528 even this building itself. 2875 01:59:50,665 --> 01:59:51,365 Imagine if the city turned over 2876 01:59:51,365 --> 01:59:52,330 control of this building to a 2877 01:59:52,330 --> 01:59:54,433 private business who decided 2878 01:59:55,636 --> 01:59:56,337 that anyone who testified 2879 01:59:56,337 --> 01:59:57,400 against them would not be 2880 01:59:57,400 --> 01:59:57,638 allowed in this building or 2881 01:59:57,638 --> 01:59:57,972 allowed to call in to this 2882 01:59:57,972 --> 01:59:59,972 council? 2883 02:00:00,441 --> 02:00:01,142 Yet that's exactly what's 2884 02:00:01,142 --> 02:00:01,508 happening at our Torrey Pines 2885 02:00:01,508 --> 02:00:03,508 City Park. 2886 02:00:04,445 --> 02:00:05,146 Let's remember all of these 2887 02:00:05,146 --> 02:00:05,813 abuses from red light cameras 2888 02:00:05,813 --> 02:00:08,213 to forced relationships with 2889 02:00:09,417 --> 02:00:10,150 private businesses for city 2890 02:00:10,150 --> 02:00:10,751 communications to not accepting 2891 02:00:10,751 --> 02:00:13,751 cash for parking in our 2892 02:00:13,855 --> 02:00:14,555 structures to force memberships 2893 02:00:14,555 --> 02:00:15,220 with private businesses to use 2894 02:00:15,220 --> 02:00:17,220 our city parks. 2895 02:00:19,600 --> 02:00:19,727 These are all abuses that arise 2896 02:00:19,727 --> 02:00:22,727 when the city hires outside 2897 02:00:23,631 --> 02:00:24,365 businesses and then shirks its 2898 02:00:24,365 --> 02:00:25,330 duty to ensure that citizens 2899 02:00:25,330 --> 02:00:25,433 are treated fairly by those 2900 02:00:25,433 --> 02:00:27,433 businesses. 2901 02:00:29,537 --> 02:00:30,238 What's ironic is that all of 2902 02:00:30,238 --> 02:00:33,238 you left wing council members 2903 02:00:33,841 --> 02:00:34,576 and Mayor would very quickly 2904 02:00:34,576 --> 02:00:35,176 accuse conservatives of putting 2905 02:00:35,176 --> 02:00:37,176 business interests above 2906 02:00:38,246 --> 02:00:39,800 the public. 2907 02:00:39,800 --> 02:00:39,746 If you observed any of these 2908 02:00:39,746 --> 02:00:42,146 actions by conservatives but 2909 02:00:43,485 --> 02:00:44,252 here you are doing exactly 2910 02:00:44,252 --> 02:00:47,852 the same thing every single day 2911 02:00:48,423 --> 02:00:49,900 Reactivate the

the risk of 2932 02:01:23,910 --> 02:01:25,910 developing psychotic disorders 2933 02:01:27,428 --> 02:01:28,163 and doubled the risk of 2934 02:01:28,163 --> 02:01:28,629 developing bipolar disorder and 2935 02:01:28,629 --> 02:01:30,629 young adulthood. 2936 02:01:32,100 --> 02:01:32,801 They also faced significant 2937 02:01:32,801 --> 02:01:33,134 higher risks of depression and 2938 02:01:33,134 --> 02:01:35,134 anxiety. 2939 02:01:36,772 --> 02:01:37,171 Importantly, the cannabis use 2940 02:01:37,171 --> 02:01:37,939 came first. 2941 02:01:37,939 --> 02:01:40,939 >> On average

02:01:46,381 --> 02:01:47,115 that adolescent cannabis 2946 02:01:47,115 --> 02:01:47,748 exposure is not just correlated 2947 02:01:47,748 --> 02:01:50,748 with but MAY contribute to 2948 02:01:51,453 --> 02:01:52,187 serious mental illness. 2949 02:01:52,187 --> 02:01:52,520 Adolescent cannabis use remains 2950 02:01:52,520 --> 02:01:54,520 common. 2951 02:01:56,758 --> 02:01:57,392 The risks are rising while 2952 02:01:57,392 --> 02:01:57,726 the perception of harm is 2953 02:01:57,726 --> 02:01:59,726 falling. 2954 02:02:01,463 --> 02:02:02,130 The study also found higher 2955 02:02:02,130 --> 02:02:02,864 rates of cannabis use among 2956 02:02:02,864 --> 02:02:05,864 youths enrolled in Medicaid and 2957 02:02:06,501 --> 02:02:07,136 those living in more 2958 02:02:07,136

widening mental health 2962 02:02:11,540 --> 02:02:13,940 disparities something our city 2963 02:02:15,644 --> 02:02:16,411 cannot ignore. 2964 02:02:16,411 --> 02:02:17,112 I urge the City Council to

at that time 3391 02:32:06,970 --> 02:32:07,671 opted to defer the question of 3392 02:32:07,671 --> 02:32:10,710 significance to the Historical 3393 02:32:11,700 --> 02:32:11,675 Resources Board and

02:32:16,347 --> 02:32:16,913 currently MAY only grant an 3398 02:32:16,913 --> 02:32:17,514 appeal and overturn a 3399 02:32:17,514 --> 02:32:19,914 designation if there are 3400 02:32:20,483 -->

significant In recent 3407 02:32:30,861 --> 02:32:31,527 years. 3408 02:32:31,527 --> 02:32:32,263 The current city Council has 3409 02:32:32,263 --> 02:32:32,963 expressed interest in expanding 3410 02:32:32,963 --> 02:32:35,164 their oversight of the appeal 3411 02:32:35,164 --> 02:32:35,933 process to include 3412 02:32:35,933 --> 02:32:36,467 reconsideration of the historic 3413 02:32:36,467 --> 02:32:38,467 designation itself. 3414 02:32:39,303 --> 02:32:40,300 The amendments will add a 3415 02:32:40,300 --> 02:32:40,638 fourth finding of findings not 3416 02:32:40,638 --> 02:32:41,204

3420 02:32:45,576 --> 02:32:46,209 Council to reconsider 3421 02:32:46,209 --> 02:32:48,609 the designation itself by 3422 02:32:49,679 --> 02:32:50,381 looking at the information that 3423 02:32:50,381 --> 02:32:51,114 was presented to the historic 3424 02:32:51,114 --> 02:32:53,514 Historical Resources Board when 3425 02:32:53,817 --> 02:32:54,518 they considered designation and 3426

02:32:58,823 --> 02:32:59,523 are supported by 3430 02:32:59,523 --> 02:33:00,157 the information in the record 3431 02:33:00,157 --> 02:33:03,157 Before moving on from this 3432 02:33:04,280 --> 02:33:04,595 amendment, I did want to note 3433 02:33:04,595 --> 02:33:05,329 that when the proposed 3434 02:33:05,329 --> 02:33:05,863 amendments were first presented 3435 02:33:05,863 -->

02:47:52,254 committed to protecting 4009 02:47:52,254 --> 02:47:55,254 the place we call home. 4010 02:47:56,393 --> 02:47:57,270 Today is decision on 4011 02:47:57,270 --> 02:47:57,661 preservation and progress 4012 02:47:57,661 --> 02:47:58,128 Package is not just about 4013 02:47:58,128 --> 02:47:58,728 policy language. 4014 02:47:58,728 --> 02:48:00,797 >> It's about whether we 4015 02:48:00,797 --> 02:48:01,431 respect the intent behind 4016 02:48:01,431 --> 02:48:02,132 historic preservation and 4017 02:48:02,132 --> 02:48:04,532 community planning or whether 4018 02:48:06,503 --> 02:48:07,169 we allow technical changes to 4019 02:48:07,169 --> 02:48:09,169 weaken protections residents 4020 02:48:11,541 --> 02:48:12,109 have relied on for decades. 4021 02:48:12,109 --> 02:48:12,476 Ocean Beach is cottage 4022 02:48:12,476 --> 02:48:13,209 emergence. 4023 02:48:13,209 --> 02:48:15,609 An emerging historical district 4024 02:48:16,113 --> 02:48:16,680 exists because generations of 4025 02:48:16,680 --> 02:48:17,348 community members have 4026 02:48:17,348 --> 02:48:19,748 recognized that these small 4027 02:48:21,485 --> 02:48:22,185 cottages in the surrounding 4028 02:48:22,185 --> 02:48:24,585 neighborhood fabric define our 4029 02:48:26,623 --> 02:48:27,289 historic coastal identity. 4030 02:48:27,289 --> 02:48:29,689 The emerging the emerging 4031 02:48:31,828 --> 02:48:32,362 designation is reflecting 4032 02:48:32,362 --> 02:48:32,963 the unfinished work 4033 02:48:32,963 --> 02:48:33,630 specifically the city's 4034 02:48:33,630 --> 02:48:36,300 responsibility to complete a 4035 02:48:37,901 --> 02:48:38,635 comprehensive survey not an 4036 02:48:38,635 --> 02:48:39,269 invitation to limit protections 4037 02:48:39,269 --> 02:48:42,269 before that work is done. 4038 02:48:43,139 --> 02:48:43,874 Reducing the district to only 4039 02:48:43,874 --> 02:48:44,408 72 cottages ignores the broader 4040 02:48:44,408 --> 02:48:46,408 historic context and 4041 02:48:48,111 --> 02:48:48,745 the reality that many more 4042 02:48:48,745 --> 02:48:49,446 structures MAY qualify and 4043 02:48:49,446 --> 02:48:52,446 before altering policies in a 4044 02:48:52,983 --> 02:48:53,650 way that could permanently 4045 02:48:53,650 --> 02:48:54,251 shape Ocean Beach, the city 4046 02:48:54,251 --> 02:48:54,851 must complete the survey 4047 02:48:54,851 --> 02:48:57,251 process a meaningful and 4048 02:48:58,622 --> 02:48:59,223 meaningfully engaged a 4049 02:48:59,223 --> 02:48:59,889 community package raises 4050 02:48:59,889 --> 02:49:02,289 serious concerns because it 4051 02:49:03,493 --> 02:49:04,228 could open the door to 4052 02:49:04,228 --> 02:49:04,862 increased densities or programs 4053 02:49:04,862 --> 02:49:06,862 like complete communities 4054 02:49:08,866 --> 02:49:09,233 without adequate infrastructure 4055 02:49:09,233 --> 02:49:09,833 planning. 4056 02:49:09,833 --> 02:49:10,501 We already struggle with 4057 02:49:10,501 --> 02:49:12,501 parking availability lacking 4058 02:49:14,771 --> 02:49:15,239 infrastructure and coastal 4059 02:49:15,239 --> 02:49:15,873 climate issues. 4060 02:49:15,873 --> 02:49:18,873 We understand the need to 4061 02:49:20,210 --> 02:49:20,978 address home and affordability 4062 02:49:20,978 --> 02:49:21,945 issues and we just ask that 4063 02:49:21,945 --> 02:49:25,749 again to not to pause or amend 4064 02:49:25,749 --> 02:49:26,250 package for the community. 4065 02:49:26,250 --> 02:49:26,951 >> Thank you. 4066 02:49:26,951 --> 02:49:27,284 Thank you for that concluding 4067 02:49:27,284 --> 02:49:29,284 remark. 4068 02:49:31,722 --> 02:49:32,456 Wesley Morgan. 4069 02:49:32,456 --> 02:49:32,789 >> Good afternoon Council 4070 02:49:32,789 --> 02:49:33,757 members. 4071 02:49:33,757 --> 02:49:37,610 I am Wes Morgan and I want to 4072 02:49:37,610 --> 02:49:37,695 thank city staff for the two 4073 02:49:37,695 --> 02:49:38,362 years of public input and 4074 02:49:38,362 --> 02:49:40,762 engagement on this package. 4075 02:49:42,700 --> 02:49:43,434 It is a modest but important 4076 02:49:43,434 --> 02:49:44,168 step forward and I look forward 4077 02:49:44,168 --> 02:49:47,768 to more complex work to package 4078 02:49:47,939 --> 02:49:48,238 be on the topic of Washington 4079 02:49:48,238 --> 02:49:48,906 Beach. 4080 02:49:48,906 --> 02:49:49,473 The existence of 72 historic 4081 02:49:49,473 --> 02:49:51,873 cottages and a context 4082 02:49:53,100 --> 02:49:53,610 statement do not default an 4083 02:49:53,610 --> 02:49:54,111 entire community into a 4084 02:49:54,111 --> 02:49:54,812 historic district. 4085 02:49:54,812 --> 02:49:58,412 There is no state, national or 4086 02:49:59,116 --> 02:49:59,850 local criteria under which 4087 02:49:59,850 --> 02:50:00,551 the following in this community 4088 02:50:00,551 --> 02:50:03,551 would qualify as a geographic 4089 02:50:03,921 --> 02:50:04,622 historic district And if there 4090 02:50:04,622 --> 02:50:05,123 was the integrity requirement 4091 02:50:05,123 --> 02:50:05,756 simply is not met. 4092 02:50:05,756 --> 02:50:08,156 Roughly 2% of parcels are 4093 02:50:08,993 --> 02:50:09,727 contributing while recognized 4094 02:50:09,727 --> 02:50:10,461 districts require well over 50% 4095 02:50:10,461 --> 02:50:12,861 have demonstrated continuity of 4096 02:50:14,432 --> 02:50:15,199 character as well. 4097 02:50:15,199 --> 02:50:15,900 In fact designation is not 4098 02:50:15,900 --> 02:50:19,403 governed by rules and it is 4099 02:50:19,403 --> 02:50:19,704 governed by rules not sentiment 4100 02:50:19,704 --> 02:50:20,438 . 4101 02:50:20,438 --> 02:50:21,138 It's troubling to see respected 4102 02:50:21,138 --> 02:50:23,538 preservation groups shift from 4103 02:50:24,775 --> 02:50:25,476 those standards to broad claims 4104 02:50:25,476 --> 02:50:26,176 that the entire Obie community 4105 02:50:26,176 --> 02:50:28,576 is historic without documented 4106 02:50:30,481 --> 02:50:31,115 integrity. 4107 02:50:31,115 --> 02:50:31,749 It clarifies that complete 4108 02:50:31,749 --> 02:50:32,416 immunity does not apply to 4109 02:50:32,416 --> 02:50:34,816 historic cottages and never 4110 02:50:36,220 --> 02:50:36,721 will it apply only to non 4111 02:50:36,721 --> 02:50:38,523 historic parcels. 4112 02:50:38,523 --> 02:50:41,523 >> Thank you very much Stevens 4113 02:50:45,196 --> 02:50:45,963 David Swarns My pleasure. 4114 02:50:45,963 --> 02:50:46,664 David Simonds from Golden Hill. 4115

02:50:51,168 --> 02:50:51,803 their adoption. 4119 02:50:51,803 --> 02:50:54,803 I mainly wish to address 4120 02:50:55,573 --> 02:50:56,240 the lack of good faith by 4121 02:50:56,240 --> 02:50:56,973 changing the rules midstream 4122 02:50:56,973 --> 02:50:57,608 and long term pipeline projects 4123 02:50:57,608 --> 02:50:59,608 specifically the proposed 4124 02:51:01,779 --> 02:51:02,480 district districts and from 4125 02:51:02,480 --> 02:51:03,140 community plan updates from 19 4126 02:51:03,140 --> 02:51:05,140 2016 including that 4127 02:51:07,785 --> 02:51:08,452 the original commitment was to 4128 02:51:08,452 --> 02:51:09,153 processes by Golden Hill by 4129 02:51:09,153 --> 02:51:11,553 2018 which was you know 4130 02:51:13,424 --> 02:51:14,259 sometime back. 4131 02:51:14,259 --> 02:51:14,959 Each year we've been told next 4132 02:51:14,959 --> 02:51:18,559 year this past week we were 4133 02:51:18,563 --> 02:51:19,230 told after this project because 4134 02:51:19,230 --> 02:51:19,930 of staff work commitments to 4135 02:51:19,930 --> 02:51:22,330 the preservation and progress 4136 02:51:24,100 --> 02:51:24,703 that's that's just that's 4137 02:51:24,703 --> 02:51:27,703 disingenuous and not it's not 4138 02:51:29,140 --> 02:51:29,908 and nobody ever told me life 4139 02:51:29,908 --> 02:51:30,608 was fair but it's supposed to 4140 02:51:30,608 --> 02:51:34,208 at least pretend to be fair. 4141 02:51:36,470 --> 02:51:36,747 I intend I still have concerns 4142 02:51:36,747 --> 02:51:39,147 about projects being under 4143

02:52:20,225 important step forward in that 4170 02:52:20,225 --> 02:52:20,892 process and will help enhance 4171 02:52:20,892 --> 02:52:21,526 all of the pro housing work 4172 02:52:21,526 -->

02:52:26,631 inappropriately sidelined 4176 02:52:26,631 --> 02:52:29,310 because of some confusion 4177 02:52:31,300 --> 02:52:31,570 around what policies mean with 4178 02:52:31,570 --> 02:52:32,203

02:53:06,605 --> 02:53:08,605 Thank you. 4201 02:53:11,175 --> 02:53:11,610 Priscilla Birkby rg First of 4202 02:53:11,610 --> 02:53:12,244 all Oh sorry. 4203 02:53:12,244 --> 02:53:14,644 Elizabeth Kelly Thank you. 4204 02:53:18,550 --> 02:53:21,550 William MacLean Brook mp and 4205 02:53:23,655 --> 02:53:24,255 Deidre Lee Thank you. 4206 02:53:24,255 --> 02:53:26,255 You'll have 13 minutes. 4207 02:53:28,927 --> 02:53:29,328 I'll set the timer for you. 4208 02:53:29,328 --> 02:53:29,695 >> Great. 4209 02:53:29,695 --> 02:53:30,195 Thank you. 4210 02:53:30,195 --> 02:53:32,195 Council members. 4211 02:53:34,600 --> 02:53:35,301 One of the things I'd like to 4212 02:53:35,301 --> 02:53:35,968 do today is before we go to 4213 02:53:35,968 --> 02:53:38,368 something as substantial as 4214 02:53:39,505 --> 02:53:40,172 what we're going to do today, 4215 02:53:40,172 --> 02:53:40,873 there should have been some 4216 02:53:40,873 --> 02:53:43,873 more coherent analysis of what 4217 02:53:45,411 --> 02:53:45,945 the conditions are in San 4218 02:53:45,945 --> 02:53:46,645 Diego, how historic 4219 02:53:46,645 --> 02:53:49,645 preservation relates to us And 4220 02:53:50,349 --> 02:53:50,983 you know, we're sort of jumping 4221 02:53:50,983 --> 02:53:51,650 into the de novo process 4222 02:53:51,650 --> 02:53:52,217 without asking why historic 4223 02:53:52,217 --> 02:53:54,217 preservation itself is 4224 02:53:56,889 --> 02:53:57,723 important to us. 4225 02:53:57,723 --> 02:53:58,624 One of the things that I want 4226 02:53:58,624 --> 02:54:02,428 to show today is there's a lot 4227 02:54:02,428 --> 02:54:03,128 of misconceptions about 4228 02:54:03,128 --> 02:54:03,863 historic preservation And one 4229 02:54:03,863 --> 02:54:04,463 of the things is that destroyed 4230 02:54:04,463 --> 02:54:06,463 neighborhoods and older 4231 02:54:08,634 --> 02:54:09,334 neighborhoods in general are 4232 02:54:09,334 --> 02:54:12,334 more affordable for San Diego 4233 02:54:14,139 --> 02:54:14,874 and both homeowners and renters 4234 02:54:14,874 --> 02:54:15,307 they aren't freezing population 4235 02:54:15,307 --> 02:54:15,974 or diversity. 4236 02:54:15,974 --> 02:54:17,974 They're diversifying faster 4237 02:54:20,679 --> 02:54:21,380 than the rest of San Diego. 4238 02:54:21,380 --> 02:54:23,780 And finally the rehabilitation 4239 02:54:26,219 --> 02:54:26,953 and reuse of historic resources 4240 02:54:26,953 --> 02:54:27,586 is a much more sustainable 4241 02:54:27,586 --> 02:54:28,253 strategy than just tearing 4242 02:54:28,253 --> 02:54:28,687 buildings to the ground and 4243 02:54:28,687 --> 02:54:30,687 starting over. 4244 02:54:32,591 --> 02:54:33,359 So if you go to the next slide, 4245 02:54:33,359 --> 02:54:38,159 one of the things that we did I 4246 02:54:38,264 --> 02:54:38,865 just like to summarize 4247 02:54:38,865 --> 02:54:39,565 the historic context of 4248 02:54:39,565 --> 02:54:43,165 the story context I guess and 4249 02:54:44,370 --> 02:54:45,370 that is if you look at the next 4250 02:54:45,370 --> 02:54:48,637 slide how did we get here? 4251 02:54:50,276 --> 02:54:51,100 Well, what happened was is 4252 02:54:51,100 --> 02:54:51,744 there's a lot of statements 4253 02:54:51,744 --> 02:54:52,440 about San Diego being frozen in 4254 02:54:52,440 --> 02:54:54,440 time. 4255 02:54:56,783 --> 02:54:57,583 The reality is that when we 4256 02:54:57,583 --> 02:54:58,284 moved on fully to an automobile 4257 02:54:58,284 --> 02:55:01,284 culture and the city expanded 4258 02:55:03,423 --> 02:55:04,900 north of I-80 to the first 4259 02:55:04,900 --> 02:55:06,490 Claremont Mesa Kearny, Mesa, 4260 02:55:08,828 --> 02:55:11,828 Serrano mesa, etc. We really 4261 02:55:14,967 --> 02:55:15,401 just left behind those existing 4262 02:55:15,401 --> 02:55:16,350 neighborhoods. 4263 02:55:16,350 --> 02:55:16,669 You know, when we look at 4264 02:55:16,669 --> 02:55:19,690 community plan updates for 4265 02:55:20,707 --> 02:55:21,407 South Bay communities, there's 4266 02:55:21,407 --> 02:55:22,108 never any economic development 4267 02:55:22,108 --> 02:55:26,308 plan no idea to bring jobs to 4268 02:55:27,246 --> 02:55:27,914 these areas. 4269 02:55:27,914 --> 02:55:28,381 There's always a lack of 4270 02:55:28,381 --> 02:55:29,140 infrastructure. 4271 02:55:29,140 --> 02:55:32,519 And one of the things that 4272 02:55:32,519 --> 02:55:33,119 sustained our South Bay 4273 02:55:33,119 --> 02:55:35,519 communities and this is 4274 02:55:37,456 --> 02:55:38,124 District two, three, eight and 4275 02:55:38,124 --> 02:55:38,825 nine is really been the fact 4276 02:55:38,825 --> 02:55:41,825 that we have these stabilizing 4277 02:55:43,630 --> 02:55:44,330 neighborhoods that are valued 4278 02:55:44,330 --> 02:55:44,998 by people despite the other 4279 02:55:44,998 --> 02:55:47,398 conditions that don't exist. 4280 02:55:49,636 --> 02:55:50,303 What happened is we expanded 4281 02:55:50,303 --> 02:55:51,370 out and then for purposes of 4282 02:55:51,370 --> 02:55:54,370 urban containment we said we're 4283 02:55:55,875 --> 02:55:56,208 not going to keep going any 4284 02:55:56,208 --> 02:55:56,743 further. 4285 02:55:56,743 --> 02:55:57,443 We've reflected that 4286 02:55:57,443 --> 02:56:00,443 development back And now that 4287 02:56:01,715 --> 02:56:02,382 we've decided that we want to 4288 02:56:02,382 --> 02:56:03,149 that we care about that city 4289 02:56:03,149 --> 02:56:06,149 again, we're at this contention 4290 02:56:07,787 --> 02:56:08,521 of should we allow people to 4291 02:56:08,521 --> 02:56:09,189 just mow down our neighborhoods 4292 02:56:09,189 --> 02:56:12,592 and start over or should we 4293 02:56:12,592 --> 02:56:13,126 take what we have today and 4294 02:56:13,126 --> 02:56:15,126 enhance it further? 4295 02:56:19,399 --> 02:56:22,999 >> So the next slide you know, 4296 02:56:24,404 --> 02:56:25,710 first I just like to so we 4297 02:56:25,710 --> 02:56:25,638 actually as the preservation 4298 02:56:25,638 --> 02:56:27,638 community we actually 4299 02:56:30,243 --> 02:56:30,944 commissioned a study by place 4300 02:56:30,944 --> 02:56:31,611 Economics which is a national 4301 02:56:31,611 --> 02:56:34,110 firm that specializes in 4302 02:56:36,816 --> 02:56:37,484 economic analysis of historic 4303 02:56:37,484 --> 02:56:39,884 districts that are actually 4304 02:56:42,589 --> 02:56:43,190 typically higher by planning 4305 02:56:43,190 --> 02:56:43,923 departments like Dallas, 4306 02:56:43,923 --> 02:56:46,323 Philadelphia, San Antonio State 4307 02:56:48,862 --> 02:56:49,563 higher them. 4308 02:56:49,563 --> 02:56:50,230 So there are very reputable 4309 02:56:50,230 --> 02:56:50,764 things So you don't have to 4310 02:56:50,764 --> 02:56:51,464 take my word for it. 4311 02:56:51,464 --> 02:56:54,464 You can actually take another 4312 02:56:54,634 --> 02:56:55,569 firm for it. 4313 02:56:55,569 --> 02:56:56,169 So one of the things we did in 4314 02:56:56,169 --> 02:56:56,570 this report is still in 4315 02:56:56,570 --> 02:56:57,304 preparation. 4316 02:56:57,304 --> 02:57:00,139 When it's done we'll share with 4317 02:57:00,139 --> 02:57:01,208 you. 4318 02:57:01,208 --> 02:57:01,842 But to kind of get to it first 4319 02:57:01,842 --> 02:57:05,442 I think the first thing is 4320 02:57:06,413 --> 02:57:07,130 believe it or not, additions 4321 02:57:07,130 --> 02:57:07,581 are growing faster than 4322 02:57:07,581 --> 02:57:08,382 the rest of the city. 4323 02:57:08,382 --> 02:57:12,152 So not only are we not stopping 4324 02:57:12,152 --> 02:57:12,853 development, we're actually 4325 02:57:12,853 --> 02:57:13,521 adding more people to historic 4326 02:57:13,521 --> 02:57:15,889 districts in San Diego than 4327 02:57:15,889 --> 02:57:20,890 the rest of the city at large. 4328 02:57:22,950 --> 02:57:22,829 And if you go to the next slide 4329 02:57:22,829 --> 02:57:23,630 and how is that happening? 4330 02:57:23,630 --> 02:57:27,230 A lot of infill development is 4331 02:57:28,635 --> 02:57:29,335 small scale development and it 4332 02:57:29,335 --> 02:57:30,370 doesn't look like we're adding 4333 02:57:30,370 --> 02:57:30,370 all this housing when in fact 4334 02:57:30,370 --> 02:57:32,370 we are. 4335 02:57:35,542 --> 02:57:36,175 And a perfect example of that 4336 02:57:36,175 --> 02:57:36,877 is any new development. 4337 02:57:36,877 --> 02:57:37,511 There are twice as many areas 4338 02:57:37,511 --> 02:57:40,280 being added to an historic 4339 02:57:40,280 --> 02:57:40,914 district and it's not just 4340 02:57:40,914 --> 02:57:41,614 south of a community. 4341 02:57:41,614 --> 02:57:42,316 These are actually designated 4342 02:57:42,316 --> 02:57:45,316 historic districts And we say 4343 02:57:47,621 --> 02:57:48,288 that we're making it illegal to 4344 02:57:48,288 --> 02:57:48,923 add housing or that historic 4345 02:57:48,923 --> 02:57:49,390 preservation and freezing 4346 02:57:49,390 --> 02:57:51,390 things in time. 4347 02:57:52,326 --> 02:57:52,893 This data clearly shows 4348 02:57:52,893 --> 02:57:53,527 the opposite is true. 4349 02:57:53,527 --> 02:57:56,527 We're adding twice as many 4350 02:57:57,297 --> 02:57:58,650 almost twice as many well one 4351 02:57:58,650 --> 02:57:58,766 and a half times as many areas 4352 02:57:58,766 --> 02:57:59,499 to historic districts as we're 4353 02:57:59,499 --> 02:58:03,699 adding to the rest of the city. 4354 02:58:04,505 --> 02:58:05,272 And how let's give an example 4355 02:58:05,272 --> 02:58:05,573 to put a picture on in the next 4356 02:58:05,573 --> 02:58:06,273 slide. 4357 02:58:06,273 --> 02:58:06,707 So this is an example of a win 4358 02:58:06,707 --> 02:58:08,707 win situation. 4359 02:58:09,375 --> 02:58:09,944 So this was a dilapidated 4360 02:58:09,944 --> 02:58:11,944 fourplex in Hillcrest. 4361 02:58:15,483 --> 02:58:16,150 The owners bought this 4362 02:58:16,150 --> 02:58:16,716 property, they rehabilitated 4363 02:58:16,716 --> 02:58:19,116 it, taken advantage of 4364 02:58:22,423 --> 02:58:23,560 the mills So it's got all these 4365 02:58:23,560 --> 02:58:23,591 original windows into very 4366 02:58:23,591 --> 02:58:25,591 beautiful building. 4367 02:58:27,395 --> 02:58:28,280 But on top of that they added 4368 02:58:28,280 --> 02:58:28,829 to areas to this property. 4369 02:58:28,829 --> 02:58:33,290 So we we did the best of 4370 02:58:33,634 --> 02:58:34,335 historic preservation and we 4371 02:58:34,335 --> 02:58:34,969 did the best of infill housing 4372 02:58:34,969 --> 02:58:35,503 in this project and these 4373 02:58:35,503 --> 02:58:37,503 things are possible. 4374 02:58:38,773 --> 02:58:39,539 So go into the next slide. 4375 02:58:39,539 --> 02:58:39,907 >> The other thing is about 4376 02:58:39,907 --> 02:58:41,907 diversity. 4377 02:58:45,113 --> 02:58:45,779 So because as historic 4378 02:58:45,779 --> 02:58:47,779 properties older properties 4379 02:58:50,885 --> 02:58:51,753 tend to be smaller in San Diego 4380 02:58:51,753 --> 02:58:52,453 and they tend to be in more 4381 02:58:52,453 --> 02:58:54,853 diversified areas anyway we're 4382 02:58:56,590 --> 02:58:57,324 finding that 4383 02:58:57,324 --> 02:58:57,992 the diversification of historic 4384 02:58:57,992 --> 02:58:58,426 district is actually a very 4385 02:58:58,426 --> 02:59:00,426 rapid process. 4386 02:59:03,864 --> 02:59:04,531 We're not freezing things a 4387 02:59:04,531 --> 02:59:05,399 place again and this is not 4388 02:59:05,399 --> 02:59:08,999 only true for people who live 4389 02:59:09,303 --> 02:59:09,904 in these areas but that's also 4390 02:59:09,904 --> 02:59:10,571 true for homeownership. 4391 02:59:10,571 --> 02:59:14,171 And so this is an important 4392 02:59:14,408 --> 02:59:14,842 part of that going to the next 4393 02:59:14,842 --> 02:59:15,576 slide. 4394 02:59:15,576 --> 02:59:16,277 And again this gets back to 4395 02:59:16,277 --> 02:59:19,277 the different types of housing 4396 02:59:22,483 --> 02:59:23,217 typologies that we have in 4397 02:59:23,217 --> 02:59:23,951 stork districts and the fact we 4398 02:59:23,951 --> 02:59:26,888 have smaller homes In some ways 4399 02:59:26,888 --> 02:59:27,588 our storage districts are 4400 02:59:27,588 --> 02:59:28,256 missing middle already And if 4401 02:59:28,256 --> 02:59:28,790 you look at when we get a 4402 02:59:28,790 --> 02:59:30,790 planning department 4403 02:59:33,940 --> 02:59:33,861 presentation on the kinds of 4404 02:59:33,861 --> 02:59:34,562 things that we want to do as 4405 02:59:34,562 --> 02:59:35,263 missing people, typically they 4406 02:59:35,263 --> 02:59:38,863 just come to our district and 4407 02:59:39,634 --> 02:59:40,234 take pictures on blackboards as 4408 02:59:40,234 --> 02:59:42,234 complexes eight classes, 4409 02:59:44,372 --> 02:59:45,273 duplexes and as can be seen 4410 02:59:45,273 --> 02:59:48,873 here, this is where people with 4411 02:59:49,410 --> 02:59:50,110 incomes between 50 and 100,000 4412 02:59:50,110 --> 02:59:50,745 people are disproportionately 4413 02:59:50,745 --> 02:59:53,145 finding that those housing 4414 02:59:53,848 --> 02:59:54,214 options in our historic 4415 02:59:54,214 --> 02:59:56,214 districts. 4416 03:00:00,922 --> 03:00:01,789 >> Next slide. 4417 03:00:01,789 --> 03:00:02,524 And a lot of concern about 4418 03:00:02,524 --> 03:00:06,124 the mills And frankly for those 4419 03:00:06,894 --> 03:00:07,561 of us who've been our houses 4420 03:00:07,561 --> 03:00:08,295 one time, the mills action 4421 03:00:08,295 --> 03:00:08,930 isn't nearly as much about that 4422 03:00:08,930 --> 03:00:11,930 as somebody who's trying a 4423 03:00:12,267 --> 03:00:12,900 young family is trying to buy 4424 03:00:12,900 --> 03:00:13,501 into the market today and 4425 03:00:13,501 --> 03:00:16,501 the Mills Act provides a 4426 03:00:17,706 --> 03:00:18,440 mechanism for that lowering not 4427 03:00:18,440 --> 03:00:19,274 just lowering the monthly cost 4428 03:00:19,274 --> 03:00:22,874 of housing but also helping to 4429 03:00:24,790 --> 03:00:24,746 subsidize maintenance of those 4430 03:00:24,746 --> 03:00:25,446 historic properties as well. 4431 03:00:25,446 --> 03:00:26,715 So I think that's that's 4432 03:00:26,715 --> 03:00:28,715 important. 4433 03:00:32,620 --> 03:00:33,355 Next slide. 4434 03:00:33,355 --> 03:00:36,355 And this is really important. 4435 03:00:39,694 --> 03:00:40,428 So we're talking if we go 4436 03:00:40,428 --> 03:00:41,950 beyond just historic districts, 4437 03:00:41,950 --> 03:00:45,295 we say look, how old is our 4438 03:00:45,500 --> 03:00:46,670 housing stock and how does that 4439 03:00:46,670 --> 03:00:46,768 affect affordability? 4440 03:00:46,768 --> 03:00:47,435 We often hear this term that's 4441 03:00:47,435 --> 03:00:49,835 called filtering which says 4442 03:00:51,139 --> 03:00:52,400 that we go over to the right 4443 03:00:52,400 --> 03:00:52,740 side of this graph and we build 4444 03:00:52,740 --> 03:00:55,740 premium rate brand new housing 4445 03:00:57,450 --> 03:00:57,746 And you know, in 40 years it 4446 03:00:57,746 --> 03:00:58,280 filters down and then we have 4447 03:00:58,280 --> 03:00:58,980 affordable housing. 4448 03:00:58,980 --> 03:01:02,580 Well this graph in some sense 4449 03:01:03,417 --> 03:01:04,860 confirms that you know, you 4450 03:01:04,860 --> 03:01:04,786 start over here on the right 4451 03:01:04,786 --> 03:01:07,786 and you get down to 1980, 40 4452 03:01:09,224 --> 03:01:09,925 years ago and sure enough we're 4453 03:01:09,925 --> 03:01:13,525 in a more affordable level But 4454 03:01:14,629 --> 03:01:15,564 unfortunately we should be. 4455 03:01:15,564 --> 03:01:16,198 What we don't do at that point 4456 03:01:16,198 --> 03:01:16,897 is we don't preserve this 4457 03:01:16,897 --> 03:01:20,497 housing So we say we're going 4458 03:01:21,236 --> 03:01:22,370 to filter down something and 4459 03:01:22,370 --> 03:01:22,737 then we demolish it all and 4460 03:01:22,737 --> 03:01:23,438 we're going to build the brand 4461 03:01:23,438 --> 03:01:27,750 new things on the right And we 4462 03:01:27,750 --> 03:01:27,743 destroyed that filter engine. 4463 03:01:27,743 --> 03:01:28,376 More importantly, if you see 4464 03:01:28,376 --> 03:01:29,440 here this is our naturally 4465 03:01:29,440 --> 03:01:31,440 occurring affordable housing 4466 03:01:33,115 --> 03:01:33,782 and one of the things that gets 4467 03:01:33,782 --> 03:01:36,182 overlooked is 61% of all 4468 03:01:39,621 --> 03:01:40,322 the housing available to people 4469 03:01:40,322 --> 03:01:43,922 in lower incomes is rented on 4470 03:01:44,458 --> 03:01:45,160 the market and they don't go to 4471 03:01:45,160 --> 03:01:45,527 the housing commission is not 4472 03:01:45,527 --> 03:01:46,228 deeded it. 4473 03:01:46,228 --> 03:01:49,228 Those are just market rentals 4474 03:01:51,433 --> 03:01:52,167 and this is where those market 4475 03:01:52,167 --> 03:01:55,767 rentals are coming from And and 4476 03:01:56,739 --> 03:01:57,439 so it should be the linchpin of 4477 03:01:57,439 --> 03:01:57,973 our preservation policies that 4478 03:01:57,973 --> 03:02:00,373 we protect this No. 4479 03:02:02,770 --> 03:02:02,478 One housing. 4480 03:02:02,478 --> 03:02:03,579 Next slide. 4481 03:02:03,579 --> 03:02:07,750 So I think I just like to talk 4482 03:02:07,750 --> 03:02:08,450 about and you can skip for one 4483 03:02:08,450 --> 03:02:12,500 more is how does this factory 4484 03:02:13,155 --> 03:02:13,756 how does preservation factor 4485 03:02:13,756 --> 03:02:14,189 into our preservation or 4486 03:02:14,189 --> 03:02:16,189 climate goals? 4487 03:02:19,161 --> 03:02:19,862 And if you look at the city 4488 03:02:19,862 --> 03:02:20,429 study of what goes into our 4489 03:02:20,429 --> 03:02:22,429 landfills well 34% of 4490 03:02:25,234 --> 03:02:25,901 everything on our landfill is 4491 03:02:25,901 --> 03:02:27,901 construction and demolition 4492 03:02:30,105 --> 03:02:30,772 waste which is to say buildings 4493 03:02:30,772 --> 03:02:31,140 and 34% is in organic 4494 03:02:31,140 --> 03:02:31,707 materials. 4495 03:02:31,707 --> 03:02:32,374 Well, we know from all 4496 03:02:32,374 --> 03:02:35,374 the debates that are having 4497 03:02:36,145 --> 03:02:36,879 near over traffic and whatnot 4498 03:02:36,879 --> 03:02:37,580 that organics are getting a lot 4499 03:02:37,580 --> 03:02:38,147 of attention But we don't even 4500 03:02:38,147 --> 03:02:40,147 have construction and 4501 03:02:42,551 --> 03:02:42,952 demolition in our climate 4502 03:02:42,952 --> 03:02:43,653 action plan. 4503 03:02:43,653 --> 03:02:44,120 It is not even considered as a 4504 03:02:44,120 --> 03:02:46,120 climate factor. 4505 03:02:48,991 --> 03:02:49,725 So if you go to the network, 4506 03:02:49,725 --> 03:02:50,493 you know it's I think important 4507 03:02:50,493 --> 03:02:54,630 to get to where you have real 4508 03:02:54,630 --> 03:02:54,863 data And so here's a case study 4509 03:02:54,863 --> 03:02:59,630 that was done by a group called 4510 03:02:59,869 --> 03:03:00,535 lpa Design Studios and they 4511 03:03:00,535 --> 03:03:01,237 were contracted to renovate 4512 03:03:01,237 --> 03:03:04,237 this Granger building that was 4513 03:03:06,241 --> 03:03:06,909 downtown San Diego. 4514 03:03:06,909 --> 03:03:07,543 And the way that they 4515 03:03:07,543 --> 03:03:08,144 considered it is to go to 4516 03:03:08,144 --> 03:03:11,144 the next slide and they 4517 03:03:12,114 --> 03:03:12,915 considered multiple options. 4518 03:03:12,915 --> 03:03:13,615 They considered whether it just 4519 03:03:13,615 --> 03:03:17,215 leave the building where it is 4520 03:03:17,520 --> 03:03:17,920 do nothing, do a light 4521 03:03:17,920 --> 03:03:18,521 renovation. 4522 03:03:18,521 --> 03:03:19,222 It is mainly preserving 4523 03:03:19,222 --> 03:03:22,222 the inside but not necessarily 4524 03:03:24,494 --> 03:03:25,161 getting And they said well 4525 03:03:25,161 --> 03:03:25,495 let's just leave that aside. 4526 03:03:25,495 --> 03:03:26,229 Got it. 4527 03:03:26,229 --> 03:03:26,963 And finally they said Well what 4528 03:03:26,963 --> 03:03:29,165 if we just tear the whole 4529 03:03:29,165 --> 03:03:29,902 building down? 4530 03:03:29,902 --> 03:03:30,600 Well, we often say well, new 4531 03:03:30,600 --> 03:03:33,600 construction you know, we have 4532 03:03:35,604 --> 03:03:36,272 modern technology we can 4533 03:03:36,272 --> 03:03:36,573 decarbonize and things like 4534 03:03:36,573 --> 03:03:37,240 that. 4535 03:03:37,240 --> 03:03:40,240 But what the study analysis 4536 03:03:41,177 --> 03:03:41,744 shows is that the equivalent 4537 03:03:41,744 --> 03:03:43,744 carbon production from 4538 03:03:47,490 --> 03:03:47,650 destroying that building 4539 03:03:47,650 --> 03:03:50,650 outweighs any of the new 4540 03:03:53,389 --> 03:03:54,230 benefits of decarbonization in 4541 03:03:54,230 --> 03:03:54,390 that operation of the new 4542 03:03:54,390 --> 03:03:55,910 building. 4543 03:03:55,910 --> 03:03:58,691 And in fact the best strategy 4544 03:03:58,861 --> 03:03:59,629 has to take your existing 4545 03:03:59,629 --> 03:04:00,296 buildings, do a renovation of 4546 03:04:00,296 --> 03:04:03,296 those buildings and put them 4547 03:04:04,666 --> 03:04:05,435 back into production And that's 4548 03:04:05,435 --> 03:04:09,350 taken this what was a rundown 4549 03:04:10,540 --> 03:04:11,341 former office building and 4550 03:04:11,341 --> 03:04:14,941 turned it into a night party 4551 03:04:17,810 --> 03:04:17,779 hotel in downtown San Diego 4552 03:04:17,779 --> 03:04:18,481 Going to the next slide. 4553 03:04:18,481 --> 03:04:22,810 The other thing is, you know, 4554 03:04:22,885 --> 03:04:23,553 we also look for green 4555 03:04:23,553 --> 03:04:24,219 buildings but sometimes it's 4556 03:04:24,219 --> 03:04:24,554 good to just look at humbler 4557 03:04:24,554 --> 03:04:26,554 places. 4558 03:04:29,920 --> 03:04:29,826 You know, in Mill City And this 4559 03:04:29,826 --> 03:04:30,459 is a project that's going in if 4560 03:04:30,459 --> 03:04:32,859 you're familiar in Oakland 4561 03:04:34,197 --> 03:04:34,897 Boulevard where the ymca is 4562 03:04:34,897 --> 03:04:38,497 This is across from the ymca. 4563 03:04:40,437 --> 03:04:40,904 This was a thrift store, a two 4564 03:04:40,904 --> 03:04:41,604 story building. 4565 03:04:41,604 --> 03:04:45,804 And what they did with this is 4566 03:04:46,575 --> 03:04:47,344 they preserve that sort of 4567 03:04:47,344 --> 03:04:48,110 entry facade and very cool kept 4568 03:04:48,110 --> 03:04:51,110 the trolley design and kept 4569 03:04:51,748 --> 03:04:52,349 that front mezzanine and then 4570 03:04:52,349 --> 03:04:53,183 they built up behind it. 4571 03:04:53,183 --> 03:04:57,383 You know there's a step back to 4572 03:04:57,888 --> 03:04:58,588 get that separation with 4573 03:04:58,588 --> 03:04:59,222 the existing historic building 4574 03:04:59,222 --> 03:04:59,656 but there's quite a lot of 4575 03:04:59,656 --> 03:05:00,390 housing here. 4576 03:05:00,390 --> 03:05:03,493 This is almost a whole block of 4577 03:05:03,493 --> 03:05:04,294 new affordable housing in this 4578 03:05:04,294 --> 03:05:04,694 city And again we think this is 4579 03:05:04,694 --> 03:05:06,694 a win win. 4580 03:05:09,399 --> 03:05:10,990 How did this happen? 4581 03:05:10,990 --> 03:05:10,834 Well, the historic resources 4582 03:05:10,834 --> 03:05:13,834 staff worked with the developer 4583 03:05:15,439 --> 03:05:16,139 of this project, Oakland 4584 03:05:16,139 --> 03:05:16,673 Development and they were able 4585 03:05:16,673 --> 03:05:17,374 to come up with this 4586 03:05:17,374 --> 03:05:19,774 accommodation of the historic 4587 03:05:21,177 --> 03:05:21,878 structure in the new 4588 03:05:21,878 --> 03:05:22,612 construction And this is more 4589 03:05:22,612 --> 03:05:23,346 of what we'd like to see rather 4590 03:05:23,346 --> 03:05:26,946 than just saying well we needed 4591 03:05:27,784 --> 03:05:28,417 the normal process so we can 4592 03:05:28,417 --> 03:05:29,520 just scrape our buildings 4593 03:05:29,520 --> 03:05:32,652 rather than come up with a 4594 03:05:33,289 --> 03:05:33,991 consistent creative solutions 4595 03:05:33,991 --> 03:05:36,391 for our historic preservation. 4596 03:05:36,993 --> 03:05:41,793 So I'll just say if you go to 4597 03:05:43,800 --> 03:05:44,401 the next slide our findings 4598 03:05:44,401 --> 03:05:45,680 aren't really that much 4599 03:05:45,680 --> 03:05:45,335 different than what the aba 4600 03:05:45,335 --> 03:05:47,335 did. 4601 03:05:50,373 --> 03:05:51,410 We had a study that was 4602 03:05:51,410 --> 03:05:51,642 commissioned for the idea a 4603 03:05:51,642 --> 03:05:54,642 couple of years ago that 4604 03:05:56,130 --> 03:05:56,713 largely found that historic 4605 03:05:56,713 --> 03:05:57,481 preservation was a benefit to 4606 03:05:57,481 --> 03:05:58,148 us in San Diego not a negative 4607 03:05:58,148 --> 03:06:01,148 and something that we should 4608 03:06:02,419 --> 03:06:03,187 continue to encourage. 4609 03:06:03,187 --> 03:06:06,787 And I guess just to summarize 4610 03:06:07,524 --> 03:06:08,125 what these things show is that 4611 03:06:08,125 --> 03:06:08,759 first of all the most 4612 03:06:08,759 --> 03:06:09,326 affordable home is the one 4613 03:06:09,326 --> 03:06:11,326 that's already there. 4614 03:06:13,998 --> 03:06:14,364 So preservation is very 4615 03:06:14,364 --> 03:06:15,650 important. 4616 03:06:15,650 --> 03:06:15,833 We have areas that are, you 4617 03:06:15,833 --> 03:06:18,833 know, densify and it's about 4618 03:06:21,380 -->

03:07:02,579 --> 03:07:04,979 Council PRESIDENT And members 4645 03:07:06,150 --> 03:07:06,951 of the City Council. 4646 03:07:06,951 --> 03:07:07,617 My name is Shane Harris and I 4647 03:07:07,617 --> 03:07:07,985 serve as a San Diego public 4648 03:07:07,985 --> 03:07:09,985 advocate. 4649 03:07:12,230 --> 03:07:12,657 Over the past year my office 4650 03:07:12,657 --> 03:07:13,256 has stood with homeowners, 4651 03:07:13,256 --> 03:07:13,924 historians, architects, 4652 03:07:13,924 --> 03:07:15,924 neighborhood planning groups 4653 03:07:18,290 --> 03:07:18,663 Soho and stakeholders citywide 4654 03:07:18,663 --> 03:07:21,663 to defend the integrity of 4655 03:07:23,700 --> 03:07:24,402 the Mills Act and San Diego's 4656 03:07:24,402 --> 03:07:25,300 historic preservation process. 4657 03:07:25,300 --> 03:07:25,569 When concerns grew about 4658 03:07:25,569 --> 03:07:27,569 weakening preservation 4659 03:07:29,807 --> 03:07:30,141 protections, I didn't stay 4660 03:07:30,141 --> 03:07:30,740 silent. 4661 03:07:30,740 --> 03:07:31,375 I launched the Hands off 4662 03:07:31,375 --> 03:07:33,775 the Mills Act initiative. 4663 03:07:34,778 --> 03:07:35,346 I met with residents who 4664 03:07:35,346 --> 03:07:36,460 invested their savings 4665 03:07:36,460 --> 03:07:36,514 restoring historic homes under 4666 03:07:36,514 --> 03:07:38,514 city guidelines. 4667 03:07:41,719 --> 03:07:42,419 I spoke with historians who 4668 03:07:42,419 --> 03:07:43,154 spent decades documenting San 4669 03:07:43,154 --> 03:07:46,754 Diego's story and I worked with 4670 03:07:47,457 --> 03:07:48,159 community leaders who 4671 03:07:48,159 --> 03:07:48,526 understood preservation isn't 4672 03:07:48,526 --> 03:07:49,260 nostalgia. 4673 03:07:49,260 --> 03:07:51,260 It's stewardship, 4674 03:07:53,131 --> 03:07:53,865 accountability and fairness. 4675 03:07:53,865 --> 03:07:54,432 What I heard across San Diego 4676 03:07:54,432 --> 03:07:56,832 was simple and clear. 4677 03:07:59,871 --> 03:08:00,571 People want preservation done 4678 03:08:00,571 --> 03:08:01,500 transparently, professionally 4679 03:08:01,500 --> 03:08:03,500 and equitably. 4680 03:08:05,430 --> 03:08:05,677 Today we're discussing item 332 4681 03:08:05,677 --> 03:08:06,377 Preservation in progress. 4682 03:08:06,377 --> 03:08:09,977 But key parts of this package 4683 03:08:10,815 --> 03:08:11,416 move us away from preservation 4684 03:08:11,416 --> 03:08:12,150 ,not toward it. 4685 03:08:12,150 --> 03:08:12,850 Let me say clearly the folks 4686 03:08:12,850 --> 03:08:15,850 standing behind me or sitting 4687 03:08:17,121 --> 03:08:17,789 behind me are not NIMBYs. 4688 03:08:17,789 --> 03:08:18,456 They are not anti housing. 4689 03:08:18,456 --> 03:08:19,123 You can be pro housing and 4690 03:08:19,123 --> 03:08:22,123 still demand a fair process. 4691 03:08:23,260 --> 03:08:23,895 You can support development and 4692 03:08:23,895 --> 03:08:24,562 still expect developers to 4693 03:08:24,562 --> 03:08:25,129 engage neighborhoods in good 4694 03:08:25,129 --> 03:08:27,529 faith and build trust. 4695 03:08:29,467 --> 03:08:30,234 Many developers do that. 4696 03:08:30,234 --> 03:08:30,869 But too often this conversation 4697 03:08:30,869 --> 03:08:33,869 has been driven by talking 4698 03:08:34,806 --> 03:08:35,473 points that communities and 4699 03:08:35,473 --> 03:08:36,700 neighborhoods like obstacles 4700 03:08:36,700 --> 03:08:36,641 instead of partners. 4701 03:08:36,641 --> 03:08:40,241 And that's not how you get 4702 03:08:41,479 --> 03:08:42,113 housing done or trust built. 4703 03:08:42,113 --> 03:08:42,580 The debate is not housing 4704 03:08:42,580 --> 03:08:44,580 versus history. 4705 03:08:46,985 --> 03:08:47,352 It's about balance, integrity 4706 03:08:47,352 --> 03:08:47,986 and trust. 4707 03:08:47,986 --> 03:08:48,586 One of the most concerning 4708 03:08:48,586 --> 03:08:50,986 elements is the proposed 4709 03:08:53,291 --> 03:08:54,250 Ennoble appeal process which 4710 03:08:54,250 --> 03:08:54,726 would allow the City Council to 4711 03:08:54,726 --> 03:08:56,726 substitute political judgment 4712 03:08:58,730 --> 03:08:59,431 for expert determinations of 4713 03:08:59,431 --> 03:08:59,998 the Historic Resources Board. 4714 03:08:59,998 --> 03:09:02,398 For more than 20 years 4715 03:09:05,570 --> 03:09:06,271 the historic resources Board 4716 03:09:06,271 --> 03:09:06,905 nor this Council has supported 4717 03:09:06,905 --> 03:09:09,905 a de novo process because 4718 03:09:10,809 --> 03:09:11,543 historic designation requires 4719 03:09:11,543 --> 03:09:12,244 specialized expertise, training 4720 03:09:12,244 --> 03:09:12,744 and consistent application of 4721 03:09:12,744 --> 03:09:14,744 adopted criteria. 4722 03:09:18,416 --> 03:09:19,500 The hrp is made up of 4723 03:09:19,500 --> 03:09:19,684 architects, historians and 4724 03:09:19,684 --> 03:09:21,684 qualified citizen experts 4725 03:09:23,754 --> 03:09:24,289 appointed specifically to 4726 03:09:24,289 --> 03:09:24,923 evaluate historical 4727 03:09:24,923 --> 03:09:25,590 significance respectfully. 4728 03:09:25,590 --> 03:09:29,790 None of you none of the City 4729 03:09:30,228 --> 03:09:30,896 Council has that specialized 4730 03:09:30,896 --> 03:09:31,563 experience nor long standing 4731 03:09:31,563 --> 03:09:34,563 history serving as the body 4732 03:09:35,801 --> 03:09:36,201 that conducts historical 4733 03:09:36,201 --> 03:09:36,901 assessments. 4734 03:09:36,901 --> 03:09:39,301 Council's role is legislative 4735 03:09:42,207 --> 03:09:42,874 solely the authorities whose 4736 03:09:42,874 --> 03:09:43,542 role is technical, technical 4737 03:09:43,542 --> 03:09:46,542 and evaluate of those roles 4738 03:09:47,913 --> 03:09:48,513 were intentionally separated 4739 03:09:48,513 --> 03:09:49,180 like church and state. 4740 03:09:49,180 --> 03:09:49,780 And when those lines blur, 4741 03:09:49,780 --> 03:09:50,115 confidence in the system 4742 03:09:50,115 --> 03:09:52,115 erodes. 4743 03:09:54,253 --> 03:09:54,886 Limiting citizen appeal rights 4744 03:09:54,886 --> 03:09:55,520 for non designations also 4745 03:09:55,520 --> 03:09:57,920 raises serious equity and 4746 03:10:00,225 --> 03:10:00,893 participation concerns. 4747 03:10:00,893 --> 03:10:01,593 If we are serious about 4748 03:10:01,593 --> 03:10:04,593 inclusion my friends we should 4749 03:10:06,398 --> 03:10:07,132 not narrow the public's ability 4750 03:10:07,132 --> 03:10:07,599 to engage

03:30:59,926 We all agree that owners should 5365 03:30:59,926 --> 03:31:00,626 be allowed to voluntarily turn 5366 03:31:00,626 --> 03:31:03,260 their properties into historic 5367 03:31:05,165 --> 03:31:05,899 museums but we don't agree. 5368 03:31:05,899 --> 03:31:06,533 What we don't agree on is 5369 03:31:06,533 --> 03:31:07,100 the question of whether we 5370 03:31:07,100 --> 03:31:09,100 should use government 5371 03:31:10,704 --> 03:31:11,405 regulations to force historic 5372 03:31:11,405 --> 03:31:13,805 designation on properties Most 5373 03:31:16,176 --> 03:31:16,810 people don't

we reject 5377 03:31:23,183 --> 03:31:26,783 restrict what is done, what can 5378 03:31:27,200 --> 03:31:27,721 be done with property and that 5379 03:31:27,721 --> 03:31:30,721 means less property tax income 5380 03:31:35,428 --> 03:31:36,196 for the city We have built into 5381 03:31:36,196 --> 03:31:36,897 like two at La Hoya Code we 5382 03:31:36,897 --> 03:31:38,499 have painted all the city like 5383 03:31:38,499 --> 03:31:39,133 it La Hoya code that are 5384 03:31:39,133 --> 03:31:42,133 boarded up and rotted only 5385 03:31:43,737 --> 03:31:44,104 because we designated them 5386 03:31:44,104 --> 03:31:44,738 historic. 5387 03:31:44,738 --> 03:31:47,738 A property owner wanted to 5388 03:31:48,776 --> 03:31:49,543 replace those building 1745 5389 03:31:49,543 --> 03:31:50,770 years ago with a 17 unit 5390 03:31:50,770 --> 03:31:52,770 apartment building. 5391 03:31:55,150 --> 03:31:55,683 But there's still there because 5392 03:31:55,683 --> 03:31:58,830 the historic the California 5393 03:32:00,530 --> 03:32:00,854 theater next to the city hall 5394 03:32:00,854 --> 03:32:01,555 has been vacant for over 30 5395 03:32:01,555 --> 03:32:04,555 years only because it was 5396 03:32:05,893 --> 03:32:06,593 designated historic and older 5397 03:32:06,593 --> 03:32:07,261 wanted to build over 200 units 5398 03:32:07,261 --> 03:32:09,661 of housing but preservation 5399 03:32:11,264 --> 03:32:11,931 sued them So nothing happened. 5400 03:32:11,931 --> 03:32:13,931 Historic designation doesn't 5401 03:32:16,804 --> 03:32:17,470 just reduce property tax income 5402 03:32:17,470 --> 03:32:20,470 but city buildings that are 5403 03:32:22,209 --> 03:32:22,877 designated The mere threat of 5404 03:32:22,877 --> 03:32:23,577 designation reduces property 5405 03:32:23,577 --> 03:32:27,177 values The city wants to sell 5406 03:32:27,782 --> 03:32:28,348 that the city administration 5407 03:32:28,348 --> 03:32:29,490 complex that we're in. 5408 03:32:29,490 --> 03:32:32,490 But there is little interest. 5409 03:32:33,353 --> 03:32:34,540 Developers know that if they 5410 03:32:34,540 --> 03:32:34,722 tried to get building permits 5411 03:32:34,722 --> 03:32:37,722 to do anything with this 5412 03:32:38,592 --> 03:32:39,293 property the hrb would 5413 03:32:39,293 --> 03:32:41,693 designated historic all our 5414 03:32:44,465 --> 03:32:45,166 problems would go away If we 5415 03:32:45,166 --> 03:32:47,566 just make historic designation 5416 03:32:49,770 --> 03:32:50,504 voluntary Only the city will 5417 03:32:50,504 --> 03:32:50,771 get a

03:34:00,241 --> 03:34:00,908 Council members. 5455 03:34:00,908 --> 03:34:01,543 I'm Barry Hager and I'm 5456 03:34:01,543 --> 03:34:02,176 speaking for Mission Hills 5457 03:34:02,176 --> 03:34:05,176 Heritage Today I'd like to 5458 03:34:05,512 --> 03:34:06,214 start by saying that we support 5459 03:34:06,214 --> 03:34:06,747 the goals of preservation and 5460 03:34:06,747 --> 03:34:09,147 progress and most of 5461 03:34:10,685 --> 03:34:11,119 the amendments proposed in 5462 03:34:11,119 --> 03:34:11,821 Package eight. 5463 03:34:11,821 --> 03:34:14,821 However, some of the proposed 5464 03:34:15,824 --> 03:34:16,524 amendments are very troubling 5465 03:34:16,524 --> 03:34:17,158 and will set back historic 5466 03:34:17,158 --> 03:34:19,558 preservation in San Diego 5467 03:34:21,463 --> 03:34:22,130 without advancing the goals of 5468 03:34:22,130 --> 03:34:22,798 the initiative which include 5469 03:34:22,798 --> 03:34:25,798 equity and a more effective 5470 03:34:26,330 --> 03:34:26,801 preservation program. 5471 03:34:26,801 --> 03:34:29,801 The most troubling aspect is 5472 03:34:30,772 --> 03:34:31,439 the proposed new findings not 5473 03:34:31,439 --> 03:34:31,840 supported or de novo grounds 5474 03:34:31,840 --> 03:34:33,840 for appeal. 5475 03:34:36,478 --> 03:34:37,178 The new grounds will for appeal 5476 03:34:37,178 --> 03:34:37,912 will allow the City Council to 5477 03:34:37,912 --> 03:34:40,312 review the information provided 5478 03:34:41,783 --> 03:34:42,517 at the Hrb and make different 5479 03:34:42,517 --> 03:34:45,517 findings and reach a contrary 5480 03:34:46,587 --> 03:34:47,255 conclusion. 5481 03:34:47,255 --> 03:34:47,889 >> Next slide please. 5482 03:34:47,889 --> 03:34:50,889 Here are the problems with 5483 03:34:51,893 --> 03:34:52,527 the de novo review ground. 5484 03:34:52,527 --> 03:34:53,128 First of all, the current 5485 03:34:53,128 --> 03:34:55,128 historic designation and 5486 03:34:57,399 --> 03:34:57,799 appeals process has worked well 5487 03:34:57,799 --> 03:34:58,466 for decades. 5488 03:34:58,466 --> 03:35:01,466 The process is rigorous and 5489 03:35:01,770 --> 03:35:02,470 the decision making board is 5490 03:35:02,470 --> 03:35:03,104 composed of volunteer citizens 5491 03:35:03,104 --> 03:35:05,504 with expertise in various 5492 03:35:07,209 --> 03:35:07,976 fields. 5493 03:35:07,976 --> 03:35:08,677 Council members are capable of 5494 03:35:08,677 --> 03:35:11,770 reviewing Hrb decisions based 5495 03:35:12,470 --> 03:35:12,447 on the current limited grounds 5496 03:35:12,447 --> 03:35:13,148 for appeals. 5497 03:35:13,148 --> 03:35:15,548 But council members lack 5498 03:35:17,752 --> 03:35:18,353 the expertise, training and 5499 03:35:18,353 --> 03:35:18,687 accumulated knowledge of 5500 03:35:18,687 --> 03:35:20,687 the hrb. 5501 03:35:22,824 --> 03:35:23,492 Council members are not 5502 03:35:23,492 --> 03:35:26,492 schooled in the criteria for 5503 03:35:28,290 --> 03:35:28,697 designation and unlike the Hrb 5504 03:35:28,697 --> 03:35:29,430 council members will not be 5505 03:35:29,430 --> 03:35:32,430 required to conduct site visits 5506 03:35:32,901 --> 03:35:33,368 before voting with an eye 5507 03:35:33,368 --> 03:35:35,368 towards applying 5508 03:35:37,505 --> 03:35:38,206 the designation criteria. 5509 03:35:38,206 --> 03:35:38,873 >> The broader appeals grounds 5510 03:35:38,873 --> 03:35:41,873 for appeal will also invite 5511 03:35:42,910 --> 03:35:43,344 more appeals for a second bite 5512 03:35:43,344 --> 03:35:44,120 at the apple. 5513 03:35:44,120 --> 03:35:46,412 The consequences will be 5514 03:35:47,683 --> 03:35:48,384 unpredictable all uneven 5515 03:35:48,384 --> 03:35:50,784 decisions with more potential 5516 03:35:52,988 --> 03:35:53,388 for appealable error and 5517 03:35:53,388 --> 03:35:54,155 litigation. 5518 03:35:54,155 --> 03:35:57,755 Adding the de novo ground will 5519 03:35:58,600 --> 03:35:58,761 only decrease the authority of 5520 03:35:58,761 --> 03:36:02,961 the hrb and add an element of 5521 03:36:03,732 --> 03:36:04,433 politics into appeals. 5522 03:36:04,433 --> 03:36:07,433 To make matters worse, staff 5523 03:36:08,737 --> 03:36:09,438 stripped out of packaging 5524 03:36:09,438 --> 03:36:12,438 the right to appeal decisions 5525 03:36:13,142 --> 03:36:13,809 to not designate properties 5526 03:36:13,809 --> 03:36:14,543 The current appeals process 5527 03:36:14,543 --> 03:36:17,543 only allows appeal of decisions 5528 03:36:18,180 --> 03:36:18,847 to designate a property not 5529 03:36:18,847 --> 03:36:21,247 decisions to not designate. 5530 03:36:23,127 --> 03:36:23,752 In response to criticism over 5531 03:36:23,752 --> 03:36:24,386 the years, staff initially 5532 03:36:24,386 --> 03:36:27,386 proposed to remedy the one 5533 03:36:28,357 --> 03:36:29,910 sided appeals process by 5534 03:36:29,910 --> 03:36:29,725 including and package the right 5535 03:36:29,725 --> 03:36:32,725 to appeal decisions to not 5536 03:36:33,529 --> 03:36:34,960 designate with grounds similar 5537 03:36:34,960 --> 03:36:36,496 to those for appealing 5538 03:36:37,900 --> 03:36:38,433 decisions to designate. 5539 03:36:38,433 --> 03:36:39,101 However lobbying by 5540 03:36:39,101 --> 03:36:41,501 the development by lobbying 5541 03:36:43,339 --> 03:36:44,390 development development 5542 03:36:44,390 --> 03:36:46,390 industry consultants convinced 5543 03:36:48,644 --> 03:36:49,278 staff to limit the right to 5544 03:36:49,278 --> 03:36:51,678 appeal non designations to 5545 03:36:53,480 --> 03:36:53,749 property owners only. 5546 03:36:53,749 --> 03:36:54,416 Legitimate concerns were then 5547 03:36:54,416 --> 03:36:57,416 raised about the fairness of 5548 03:36:57,987 --> 03:36:58,687 only allowing property owners 5549 03:36:58,687 --> 03:36:59,221 to file appeals but not other 5550 03:36:59,221 --> 03:37:01,221 interested parties. 5551 03:37:02,892 --> 03:37:03,559 But rather than restoring 5552 03:37:03,559 --> 03:37:06,559 the right of all interested 5553 03:37:07,530 --> 03:37:08,164 parties to appeal designation 5554 03:37:08,164 --> 03:37:08,731 decisions do not designate 5555 03:37:08,731 --> 03:37:10,731 staff instead stripped 5556 03:37:13,235 --> 03:37:13,603 the entire section from 5557 03:37:13,603 --> 03:37:14,303 packaging. 5558 03:37:14,303 --> 03:37:17,303 >> After the OCTOBER 23rd Hrb 5559 03:37:18,341 --> 03:37:19,740 meeting with the proposed 5560 03:37:19,740 --> 03:37:22,740 expansion of appeals to include 5561 03:37:22,378 --> 03:37:23,450 the de novo grounds but no 5562 03:37:23,450 --> 03:37:26,450 right to appeal decisions to 5563 03:37:27,216 --> 03:37:27,818 not designate packages even 5564 03:37:27,818 --> 03:37:28,484 more skewed in favor of 5565 03:37:28,484 --> 03:37:30,484 overturning designations of 5566 03:37:32,855 --> 03:37:33,588 historic resources packages 5567 03:37:33,588 --> 03:37:37,188 should not be adopted without a 5568 03:37:37,526 --> 03:37:38,160 right to appeal hrb decisions 5569 03:37:38,160 --> 03:37:40,560 to not designate property. 5570 03:37:43,199 --> 03:37:45,199 Next slide. 5571 03:37:46,868 --> 03:37:47,637 And you can see whoops we 5572 03:37:47,637 --> 03:37:51,237 should be on number four now. 5573 03:37:56,479 --> 03:37:59,479 >> You can skip the fourth. 5574 03:38:01,250 --> 03:38:02,118 >> So let's take a look. 5575 03:38:02,118 --> 03:38:02,385 >> Oh, I'm sorry We've gone too 5576 03:38:02,385 --> 03:38:04,385 far. 5577 03:38:06,289 --> 03:38:09,289 Let's go back one more. 5578 03:38:10,827 --> 03:38:11,761 This is Slide four. 5579 03:38:11,761 --> 03:38:15,361 >> So it's supposed to be Let's 5580 03:38:15,998 --> 03:38:16,666 look at the Hrb has to say 5581 03:38:16,666 --> 03:38:17,167 about de novo I think we've 5582 03:38:17,167 --> 03:38:17,467 Yeah, Here

that the Hrb policy 5587 03:38:24,941 --> 03:38:25,608 is subject committee was 5588 03:38:25,608 --> 03:38:28,800 generally supportive of all 5589 03:38:29,979 --> 03:38:30,646 other aspects of package 5590 03:38:30,646 --> 03:38:33,646 including the de novo ground 5591 03:38:34,918 --> 03:38:35,618 but h r b member Carla Farley, 5592 03:38:35,618 --> 03:38:36,319 one of the four members of 5593 03:38:36,319 --> 03:38:38,719 the Policy subcommittee voted 5594 03:38:40,156 --> 03:38:40,857 against package specifically 5595 03:38:40,857 --> 03:38:44,457 citing the de novo issue for 5596

03:38:56,138 --> 03:38:59,138 obviously for some very good 5603 03:38:59,375 --> 03:39:00,343 reasons I don't know if we want 5604 03:39:00,343 --> 03:39:04,414 to be the ones to stand out and 5605

5682 03:41:35,900 --> 03:41:38,300 and their building industry 5683 03:41:39,804 --> 03:41:40,404 allies are trying to set up a 5684 03:41:40,404 --> 03:41:42,804 false choice of historic 5685 03:41:43,908 --> 03:41:44,475 preservation or more housing. 5686 03:41:44,475 --> 03:41:46,875 We can have both. 5687 03:41:48,346 --> 03:41:49,460 What the statement does 5688 03:41:49,460 --> 03:41:52,646 underscore is that the de novo 5689 03:41:53,384 --> 03:41:54,560 appeal ground will scale back 5690 03:41:54,560 --> 03:41:56,560 historic designations which 5691 03:41:57,655 --> 03:41:58,356 which will result in the loss 5692 03:41:58,356 --> 03:41:58,790 of more historic resources 5693 03:41:58,790 --> 03:42:00,790 going forward. 5694 03:42:02,727 --> 03:42:03,393 And the

03:42:13,470 --> 03:42:17,700 only be designated if the owner 5702 03:42:17,742 --> 03:42:18,509 wants it to be. 5703 03:42:18,509 --> 03:42:22,213 While that MAY be the goal of 5704 03:42:22,213 --> 03:42:22,913 some in this room that is not 5705 03:42:22,913 --> 03:42:23,513 the best practice for historic 5706 03:42:23,513 --> 03:42:25,913 preservation and all San 5707 03:42:26,818 --> 03:42:27,151 Diegans will suffer under that 5708 03:42:27,151 --> 03:42:29,151 system. 5709 03:42:31,923 --> 03:42:35,523 >> In closing we urge you to 5710 03:42:35,693 --> 03:42:36,394 reject package

03:46:43,873 The courts have been clear 5846 03:46:44,844 --> 03:46:45,478 changes to preservation 5847 03:46:45,478 --> 03:46:47,478 ordinances can constitute 5848 03:46:49,449 --> 03:46:50,830 secret projects when they MAY 5849 03:46:50,830 --> 03:46:50,783 result in direct physical 5850 03:46:50,783 --> 03:46:53,183 changes to historic resources 5851 03:46:54,320 --> 03:46:55,210 Code revisions that reduce 5852 03:46:55,210 --> 03:46:57,421 protections are not exempt 5853 03:46:59,425 --> 03:47:00,930 Proceeding today without 5854 03:47:00,930 --> 03:47:02,930 environmental review exposes 5855 03:47:04,297 --> 03:47:04,596 the city to significant legal 5856 03:47:04,596 --> 03:47:05,231 risk. 5857 03:47:05,231 --> 03:47:05,932 The staff report itself 5858 03:47:05,932 --> 03:47:08,332 acknowledges this proposal is 5859 03:47:09,269 --> 03:47:10,136 part of a broader comprehensive 5860 03:47:10,136 --> 03:47:13,736 update Segmenting parts a and b 5861 03:47:14,774 --> 03:47:15,341 avoids analyzing the whole of 5862 03:47:15,341 --> 03:47:16,900 the action and seek or 5863 03:47:16,900 --> 03:47:18,409 prohibits this piecemeal way 5864 03:47:19,546 --> 03:47:20,213 The law requires you to 5865 03:47:20,213 --> 03:47:23,213 evaluate the full scope and 5866 03:47:24,384 --> 03:47:25,850 cumulative impact of what you 5867 03:47:25,850 --> 03:47:25,385 are doing and the impacts are 5868 03:47:25,385 --> 03:47:27,385 real. 5869 03:47:28,955 --> 03:47:29,589 With this we will lose Historic 5870 03:47:29,589 --> 03:47:31,589 resources Package a-roads 5871 03:47:33,927 --> 03:47:34,661 Historic District protections 5872 03:47:34,661 --> 03:47:35,295 and strip safe strip safeguards 5873 03:47:35,295 --> 03:47:37,695 from existing and pending 5874 03:47:39,165 --> 03:47:39,866 districts including ocean 5875 03:47:39,866 --> 03:47:42,266 beaches, Cottage district and 5876 03:47:43,636 --> 03:47:44,404 the Asian thematic district. 5877 03:47:44,404 --> 03:47:45,710 These changes would make it 5878 03:47:45,710 --> 03:47:48,710 easier to alter or eliminate 5879 03:47:48,575 --> 03:47:49,209 historic resources that 5880 03:47:49,209 --> 03:47:49,943 contribute to neighborhood 5881 03:47:49,943 --> 03:47:52,343 character and cultural identity 5882 03:47:53,747 --> 03:47:54,347 and environmental impact Report 5883 03:47:54,347 --> 03:47:56,747 is the legally required 5884 03:47:58,485 --> 03:47:59,118 mechanism to identify impacts, 5885 03:47:59,118 --> 03:48:01,118 consider alternatives and 5886 03:48:08,280 --> 03:48:08,729 develop mitigation measures 5887 03:48:08,729 --> 03:48:11,129 Regarding the Hrb rejected 5888 03:48:12,798 --> 03:48:13,467 package the cpc 28 communities 5889 03:48:13,467 --> 03:48:16,467 across the city rejected it 5890 03:48:18,405 --> 03:48:19,106 over 500 written comments have 5891 03:48:19,106 --> 03:48:21,506 been submitted with opposition 5892 03:48:22,376 --> 03:48:22,776 outweighing support by roughly 5893 03:48:22,776 --> 03:48:24,776 12 to 1. 5894 03:48:26,913 --> 03:48:27,481 That level of engagement is not 5895 03:48:27,481 --> 03:48:28,115 incidental It reflects 5896 03:48:28,115 --> 03:48:30,115 widespread concern across 5897 03:48:31,785 --> 03:48:32,486 the city. 5898 03:48:32,486 --> 03:48:33,187 You were recently reminded in 5899 03:48:33,187 --> 03:48:36,787 Save Our Access versus City of 5900 03:48:36,924 --> 03:48:37,591 San Diego that inadequate seek 5901 03:48:37,591 --> 03:48:38,225 review carries consequences. 5902 03:48:38,225 --> 03:48:41,225 The Court of Appeal ruled 5903 03:48:42,663 --> 03:48:43,163 against the city for failing to 5904 03:48:43,163 --> 03:48:45,163 conduct sufficient 5905 03:48:46,633 --> 03:48:47,434 environmental risk analysis 5906 03:48:47,434 --> 03:48:51,340 That is not abstract It is 5907 03:48:51,772 --> 03:48:52,406 recent history moving forward 5908 03:48:52,406 --> 03:48:54,806 today without full sequel 5909 03:48:56,143 --> 03:48:56,777 review and in disregard of all 5910 03:48:56,777 --> 03:48:57,477 of the advisory bodies and 5911 03:48:57,477 --> 03:48:59,477 overwhelming public opposition 5912 03:49:01,382 --> 03:49:01,782 would be premature and legally 5913 03:49:01,782 --> 03:49:03,782 vulnerable. 5914 03:49:06,420 --> 03:49:06,987 Historic resources are not 5915 03:49:06,987 --> 03:49:07,854 obstacles to progress. 5916 03:49:07,854 --> 03:49:11,454 They are part of San Diego's 5917 03:49:11,658 --> 03:49:12,526 environment fabric just as 5918 03:49:12,526 --> 03:49:16,126 surely as air, water and trees 5919 03:49:16,664 --> 03:49:17,364 preservation and growth are not 5920 03:49:17,364 --> 03:49:19,764 mutually exclusive but growth 5921 03:49:21,335 --> 03:49:22,300 must proceed lawfully, 5922 03:49:22,300 --> 03:49:24,403 transparently and with full 5923 03:49:26,740 --> 03:49:27,410 environmental accountable city 5924 03:49:27,410 --> 03:49:27,808 . 5925 03:49:27,808 --> 03:49:28,476 You are being asked to approve 5926 03:49:28,476 --> 03:49:30,476 sweeping structural changes 5927 03:49:32,130 --> 03:49:32,480 without environmental veto that 5928 03:49:32,480 --> 03:49:33,800 square requires. 5929 03:49:33,800 --> 03:49:35,480 For these reasons we 5930 03:49:36,316 --> 03:49:36,884 respectfully urge you to pause 5931 03:49:36,884 --> 03:49:38,884 packaging and require 5932 03:49:40,387 --> 03:49:41,220 comprehensive environmental 5933 03:49:41,220 --> 03:49:43,220 review before proceeding. 5934 03:49:46,360 --> 03:49:46,927 >> Thank you, Mayor. 5935 03:49:46,927 --> 03:49:47,595 >> Thank you PRESIDENT 5936 03:49:47,595 --> 03:49:49,995 Secretary Director Save our 5937 03:49:51,398 --> 03:49:52,330 Heritage Organization and 5938 03:49:52,330 --> 03:49:54,433 the historic the decision 5939 03:49:55,235 --> 03:49:55,903 whether a property is historic 5940 03:49:55,903 --> 03:49:56,771 or not is not the end all. 5941 03:49:56,771 --> 03:49:59,874 You still retain the land and 5942 03:49:59,874 --> 03:50:00,574 use decision you always have 5943 03:50:00,574 --> 03:50:02,974 about whether the resource 5944 03:50:05,120 --> 03:50:05,513 stays was demolished or or 5945 03:50:05,513 --> 03:50:07,513 incorporated into 5946 03:50:09,516 --> 03:50:10,317 the development or moved even 5947 03:50:10,317 --> 03:50:13,317 It's simply a baseline This 5948 03:50:14,655 --> 03:50:15,323 determination about whether a 5949 03:50:15,323 --> 03:50:18,323 property is historic or not 5950 03:50:19,126 --> 03:50:19,760 Just like another environmental 5951 03:50:19,760 --> 03:50:21,760 determinations is whether 5952 03:50:24,232 --> 03:50:25,330 the site like is the site of 5953 03:50:25,330 --> 03:50:25,433 vernal pool or is it not a 5954 03:50:25,433 --> 03:50:27,433 vernal pool. 5955 03:50:28,903 --> 03:50:29,537 So it's just to identify it so 5956 03:50:29,537 --> 03:50:31,937 it's properly treated and 5957 03:50:32,640 --> 03:50:33,441 the process that moves forward 5958 03:50:33,441 --> 03:50:33,808 It is a factual not political 5959 03:50:33,808 --> 03:50:35,808 question. 5960 03:50:38,613 --> 03:50:39,314 The land use decision, like I 5961 03:50:39,314 --> 03:50:41,714 said, still remains in 5962 03:50:44,318 --> 03:50:45,520 the council's hands. 5963 03:50:45,520 --> 03:50:45,787 So there's been some complaints 5964 03:50:45,787 --> 03:50:48,156 that you can't do the tradeoffs 5965 03:50:48,156 --> 03:50:48,590 of the new project against 5966 03:50:48,590 --> 03:50:49,157 the resource. 5967 03:50:49,157 --> 03:50:51,557 Well that's not true. 5968 03:50:52,994 --> 03:50:53,861 You always retain that and 5969 03:50:53,861 --> 03:50:57,461 the discussion but you have to 5970 03:50:58,990 --> 03:50:58,833 have the baseline discussion 5971 03:50:58,833 --> 03:51:01,833 about whether that the resource 5972 03:51:02,604 --> 03:51:03,137 is historic or not before you 5973 03:51:03,137 --> 03:51:05,537 can even get there. 5974 03:51:06,774 --> 03:51:07,642 And so it's a very important 5975 03:51:07,642 --> 03:51:11,242 it's not a tool to stop 5976 03:51:11,980 --> 03:51:12,680 development never has been even 5977 03:51:12,680 --> 03:51:13,348 if there are some people that 5978 03:51:13,348 --> 03:51:13,714 would like it to be it's not 5979 03:51:13,714 --> 03:51:15,714 possible. 5980 03:51:17,218 --> 03:51:20,218 It's a fact based process. 5981 03:51:22,390 --> 03:51:22,991 People come to us sometimes and 5982 03:51:22,991 --> 03:51:23,757 say Can you stop this 5983 03:51:23,757 --> 03:51:26,727 development and said No we 5984 03:51:26,727 --> 03:51:29,727 can't but we can determine 5985 03:51:30,965 --> 03:51:31,666 whether the property there is 5986 03:51:31,666 --> 03:51:32,367 historic or not and should be 5987 03:51:32,367 --> 03:51:34,767 considered in the development 5988 03:51:35,836 --> 03:51:36,604 process. 5989 03:51:36,604 --> 03:51:37,305 It is actually extremely 5990 03:51:37,305 --> 03:51:40,305 difficult for a property to 5991 03:51:40,874 --> 03:51:41,676 qualify for a designation. 5992 03:51:41,676 --> 03:51:45,279 It must meet a rigorous set of 5993 03:51:45,279 --> 03:51:46,470 criteria a documented in a 5994 03:51:46,470 --> 03:51:46,748 report of 100 160 pages or a 5995 03:51:46,748 --> 03:51:49,148 longer review at public 5996 03:51:50,151 --> 03:51:52,551 meetings and a supermajority 5997 03:51:54,689 --> 03:51:55,356 vote by the h r b designation 5998 03:51:55,356 --> 03:51:56,910 does not dictate what 5999 03:51:56,910 --> 03:52:00,291 the property can be used for or 6000 03:52:00,295 --> 03:52:00,962 whether it can be modified, 6001 03:52:00,962 --> 03:52:01,696 moved or even demolished. 6002 03:52:01,696 --> 03:52:05,267 It simply ensures that its fate 6003 03:52:05,267 --> 03:52:05,934 is fairly considered along with 6004 03:52:05,934 --> 03:52:06,635 community and environmental 6005 03:52:06,635 --> 03:52:09,771 factors and the final land use 6006 03:52:09,771 --> 03:52:10,838 decision. 6007 03:52:10,838 --> 03:52:11,473 This is a red herring If all of 6008 03:52:11,473 --> 03:52:13,873 the properties that we're 6009 03:52:14,843 --> 03:52:15,544 potentially eligible for 6010 03:52:15,544 --> 03:52:19,144 designation in the city of San 6011 03:52:19,314 --> 03:52:20,140 Diego and represent around 1% 6012 03:52:20,140 --> 03:52:23,140 of the built environment, this 6013 03:52:24,552 --> 03:52:25,287 is not an issue. 6014 03:52:25,287 --> 03:52:28,991 Well as in the iab report it 6015 03:52:28,991 --> 03:52:29,691 says we only have conflicts of 6016 03:52:29,691 --> 03:52:30,225 less than one a year in 6017 03:52:30,225 --> 03:52:32,625 the last four years. 6018 03:52:33,562 --> 03:52:34,363 I think maybe we have had two 6019 03:52:34,363 --> 03:52:37,363 but they've all been resolved 6020 03:52:38,400 --> 03:52:39,101 This is just not worth all 6021 03:52:39,101 --> 03:52:42,701 the time and effort and money 6022 03:52:43,638 --> 03:52:44,673 the city is spending on this. 6023 03:52:44,673 --> 03:52:48,273 We have so has never stopped 6024 03:52:49,430 --> 03:52:49,745 the development that MAY come 6025 03:52:49,745 --> 03:52:50,546 as a surprise to some people 6026 03:52:50,546 --> 03:52:53,482 with all the rhetoric out there 6027 03:52:53,482 --> 03:52:54,216 but we never have. 6028 03:52:54,216 --> 03:52:56,616 We've delayed some developments 6029 03:52:58,487 --> 03:52:59,154 to get when you don't follow 6030 03:52:59,154 --> 03:52:59,855 the process but we've never 6031 03:52:59,855 --> 03:53:02,255 stopped the development where 6032 03:53:02,824 --> 03:53:03,492 we get into real problems is 6033 03:53:03,492 --> 03:53:04,159 when the city denies whether 6034 03:53:04,159 --> 03:53:04,426 the property is historic or 6035 03:53:04,426 --> 03:53:06,426 not. 6036 03:53:07,629 --> 03:53:08,297 That's already been deemed by 6037 03:53:08,297 --> 03:53:10,697 experts as historic doesn't 6038 03:53:12,167 --> 03:53:12,968 work real well and the law This 6039 03:53:12,968 --> 03:53:15,968 approach opens the doors to 6040 03:53:16,738 --> 03:53:17,720 multiple legal challenges and 6041 03:53:17,720 --> 03:53:17,773 delays. 6042 03:53:17,773 --> 03:53:21,373 The right approach is what we 6043 03:53:21,977 --> 03:53:22,678 saw with the Sports Arena 6044 03:53:22,678 --> 03:53:25,678 project that the building was 6045 03:53:26,800 --> 03:53:26,749 recognized as historic a report 6046 03:53:26,749 --> 03:53:29,749 was done, it went through 6047 03:53:30,552 --> 03:53:31,253 the process was designated and 6048 03:53:31,253 --> 03:53:34,253 then the developer came back 6049 03:53:34,724 --> 03:53:35,291 with the right argument, 6050 03:53:35,291 --> 03:53:35,691 the one that's legally 6051 03:53:35,691 --> 03:53:37,691 defensible. 6052 03:53:39,695 --> 03:53:40,396 Well, we know it's historic but 6053 03:53:40,396 --> 03:53:44,367 we can't use it in the new 6054 03:53:44,367 --> 03:53:44,967 development and we think 6055 03:53:44,967 --> 03:53:45,568 the development is more 6056 03:53:45,568 --> 03:53:46,302 important and they made 6057 03:53:46,302 --> 03:53:49,472 the case to get it removed That 6058 03:53:49,472 --> 03:53:51,872 went through smoothly, no 6059 03:53:53,709 --> 03:53:54,510 delays and was approved. 6060 03:53:54,510 --> 03:53:55,244 That's the way it should be 6061 03:53:55,244 --> 03:53:58,844 done If you deny it's historic. 6062 03:53:59,215 --> 03:53:59,548 We have all kinds of challenges 6063 03:53:59,548 --> 03:54:00,349 to that. 6064 03:54:00,349 --> 03:54:01,317 If you say it's historic and I 6065 03:54:01,317 --> 03:54:04,917 don't want it, it's a different 6066 03:54:07,155 --> 03:54:07,723 argument The h r b and 6067 03:54:07,723 --> 03:54:09,723 reviewing board bodies 6068 03:54:11,827 --> 03:54:12,528 supported the decision on 6069 03:54:12,528 --> 03:54:13,195 the on the sports arena in 6070 03:54:13,195 --> 03:54:16,195 contrast from trying to deny 6071 03:54:16,232 --> 03:54:16,866 something as historic as almost 6072 03:54:16,866 --> 03:54:18,866 always creates unnecessary 6073 03:54:21,103 --> 03:54:21,737 conflicts and delay the city 6074 03:54:21,737 --> 03:54:23,737 council itself established 6075 03:54:25,541 --> 03:54:26,242 the current process so subject 6076 03:54:26,242 --> 03:54:26,875 matter experts not politicians 6077 03:54:26,875 --> 03:54:29,275 would make the designation 6078 03:54:30,613 --> 03:54:31,347 decisions. 6079 03:54:31,347 --> 03:54:34,347 The structure was designed to 6080 03:54:35,451 --> 03:54:36,520 save council time, avoid legal 6081 03:54:36,520 --> 03:54:36,786 lengthy apparent appeal 6082 03:54:36,786 --> 03:54:39,786 hearings and you know everybody 6083 03:54:41,190 --> 03:54:41,891 that has an ax to grind come up 6084 03:54:41,891 --> 03:54:45,161 here and appeal to the council 6085 03:54:45,161 --> 03:54:46,280 for for no reason. 6086 03:54:46,280 --> 03:54:49,628 This idea of de novo hearing 6087 03:54:49,632 --> 03:54:50,600 comes up every few years has 6088 03:54:50,600 --> 03:54:54,838 multiple times but no h r b is 6089 03:54:54,838 --> 03:54:58,438 approved it no city council has 6090 03:54:59,842 --> 03:55:02,842 approved it and that's because 6091 03:55:04,480 --> 03:55:05,181 these proposals return change 6092 03:55:05,181 --> 03:55:06,490 the fact based current process 6093 03:55:06,490 --> 03:55:10,153 to a political free for all If 6094 03:55:10,153 --> 03:55:10,786 the proposed new appeal grounds 6095 03:55:10,786 --> 03:55:11,454 for de novo hearings were 6096 03:55:11,454 --> 03:55:13,854 adopted anybody could appeal 6097 03:55:14,324 --> 03:55:14,957 for any reason that would 6098 03:55:14,957 --> 03:55:17,357 create more certainty for 6099 03:55:18,962 --> 03:55:19,561 developers, not less and or 6100 03:55:19,561 --> 03:55:20,230 whatever and inevitably 6101 03:55:20,230 --> 03:55:22,630 increase both litigation and 6102 03:55:23,833 --> 03:55:24,634 project delays. 6103 03:55:24,634 --> 03:55:25,400 Instead we could move remove it 6104 03:55:25,400 --> 03:55:28,400 entirely from your hands like 6105 03:55:29,806 --> 03:55:31,741 we had to do with the historic 6106 03:55:31,741 --> 03:55:32,475 districts as we have in process 6107 03:55:32,475 --> 03:55:36,750 one and almost eight years like 6108 03:55:36,780 --> 03:55:41,580 we had to do with them and we 6109 03:55:41,584 --> 03:55:42,252 could go to the state or to 6110 03:55:42,252 --> 03:55:42,819 the National Register or any 6111 03:55:42,819 --> 03:55:45,819 other body and get it 6112 03:55:46,456 --> 03:55:46,990 designated And you still have 6113 03:55:46,990 --> 03:55:47,691 to deal with sequel. 6114 03:55:47,691 --> 03:55:50,910 Remember the Coronado Railroad 6115 03:55:51,395 --> 03:55:52,280 check almost ten years to 6116 03:55:52,280 --> 03:55:54,428 resolve and three lawsuits 6117 03:55:56,533 --> 03:55:57,267 before it was all resolved Each 6118 03:55:57,267 --> 03:55:57,968 time the lawsuits were resolved 6119 03:55:57,968 --> 03:56:01,400 in our favor And then we just 6120 03:56:01,400 --> 03:56:01,437 got back to where we were at 6121 03:56:01,437 --> 03:56:02,720 the beginning. 6122 03:56:02,720 --> 03:56:02,472 We weren't trying to stop 6123 03:56:02,472 --> 03:56:03,600 the project. 6124 03:56:03,600 --> 03:56:06,600 We wanted as much of 6125 03:56:06,509 --> 03:56:07,210 the resource preserved as part 6126 03:56:07,210 --> 03:56:10,680 of the project as possible and 6127 03:56:10,680 --> 03:56:11,381 it fairly treated not denying 6128 03:56:11,381 --> 03:56:14,381 that it was historic just 6129 03:56:16,853 --> 03:56:17,520 causes you know like I said 6130 03:56:17,520 --> 03:56:19,623 the delays it's it's and you 6131 03:56:19,623 --> 03:56:20,424 hear me laughing a little but I 6132 03:56:20,424 --> 03:56:20,824 it just doesn't make any sense 6133 03:56:20,824 --> 03:56:22,824 to do that. 6134 03:56:25,228 --> 03:56:25,929 It's anyhow it could delay 6135 03:56:25,929 --> 03:56:28,329 projects that could cost 6136 03:56:31,201 --> 03:56:32,680 projects They had story tax 6137 03:56:32,680 --> 03:56:34,271 credits as far as trying to use 6138 03:56:34,271 --> 03:56:35,370 them because they're time 6139 03:56:35,370 --> 03:56:38,370 sensitive and applying for tax 6140 03:56:39,276 --> 03:56:40,243 credits. 6141 03:56:40,243 --> 03:56:40,911 So none of this is possible in 6142 03:56:40,911 --> 03:56:43,311 the current process because 6143 03:56:44,470 --> 03:56:44,414 the h r b decisions currently 6144 03:56:44,414 --> 03:56:45,215 are final. 6145 03:56:45,215 --> 03:56:48,815 We have lost so many resources 6146 03:56:49,286 --> 03:56:49,987 to decay fire, demolition, 6147 03:56:49,987 --> 03:56:52,387 neglect and redevelopment Each 6148 03:56:54,156 --> 03:56:54,691 year the number of surviving 6149 03:56:54,691 --> 03:56:55,392 sites declines with 6150 03:56:55,392 --> 03:56:58,392 the proposed changes even more 6151 03:56:58,729 --> 03:56:59,329 of these era in irreplaceable 6152 03:56:59,329 --> 03:57:00,970 resources will be lost. 6153 03:57:00,970 --> 03:57:03,697 The whole reason this is being 6154 03:57:03,967 --> 03:57:04,701 proposed is to demolish more 6155 03:57:04,701 --> 03:57:05,100 historic structures than you do 6156 03:57:05,100 --> 03:57:07,100 today. 6157 03:57:08,638 --> 03:57:09,380 We should not make it easier to 6158 03:57:09,380 --> 03:57:09,740 remove them. 6159 03:57:09,740 --> 03:57:13,340 These are the sites that make 6160 03:57:13,510 --> 03:57:14,211 San Diego beautiful 6161 03:57:14,211 --> 03:57:14,878 economically prosper and help 6162 03:57:14,878 --> 03:57:16,878 preserve naturally occurring 6163 03:57:18,482 --> 03:57:19,216 affordable housing. 6164 03:57:19,216 --> 03:57:19,916 They are what make our city 6165 03:57:19,916 --> 03:57:22,916 unique The places places that 6166 03:57:23,787 --> 03:57:24,455 sets San Diego apart and make 6167 03:57:24,455 --> 03:57:25,155 it one of the most desirable 6168 03:57:25,155 --> 03:57:28,155 places to live and visit 6169 03:57:28,192 --> 03:57:31,792 the few years ago Los Angeles 6170 03:57:32,629 --> 03:57:33,330 checked to see what heritage 6171 03:57:33,330 --> 03:57:35,730 tourism visitors who actually 6172 03:57:37,835 --> 03:57:38,636 spend twice as much spend twice 6173 03:57:38,636 --> 03:57:39,203 as long as other tourists we're 6174 03:57:39,203 --> 03:57:39,602 looking at in Southern 6175 03:57:39,602 --> 03:57:41,602 California. 6176 03:57:42,873 --> 03:57:43,640 And so they studied San Diego. 6177 03:57:43,640 --> 03:57:44,400 Do you think we would have 6178 03:57:44,400 --> 03:57:46,400 studied it? 6179 03:57:47,110 --> 03:57:47,677 But as the neighborhoods it's 6180 03:57:47,677 --> 03:57:48,446 the world being in a place 6181 03:57:48,446 --> 03:57:51,446 different from where they were 6182 03:57:52,160 --> 03:57:52,716 from, they want to experience 6183 03:57:52,716 --> 03:57:56,253 being there, sitting in a cafe 6184 03:57:56,253 --> 03:57:56,687 on the street and enjoying 6185 03:57:56,687 --> 03:57:57,354 the ambiance. 6186 03:57:57,354 --> 03:58:00,354 But once these resources are 6187 03:58:01,492 --> 03:58:02,426 gone they're gone forever. 6188 03:58:02,426 --> 03:58:02,726 You MAY wonder why we fight so 6189 03:58:02,726 --> 03:58:04,726 hard. 6190 03:58:05,863 --> 03:58:06,196 Well, we don't get a second 6191 03:58:06,196 --> 03:58:06,931 chance. 6192 03:58:06,931 --> 03:58:09,931 The quality of life is 6193 03:58:10,234 --> 03:58:10,800 irreparably diminished when we 6194 03:58:10,800 --> 03:58:12,800 lose these resources. 6195 03:58:14,672 --> 03:58:15,372 Finally well not finally you 6196 03:58:15,372 --> 03:58:15,973 you don't have the information 6197 03:58:15,973 --> 03:58:18,973 required by law to make 6198 03:58:19,843 --> 03:58:20,510 the decision today the city has 6199 03:58:20,510 --> 03:58:21,212 not completed the necessary 6200 03:58:21,212 --> 03:58:23,212 environmental review analysis 6201 03:58:25,149 --> 03:58:25,850 are provided the mitigate and 6202 03:58:25,850 --> 03:58:28,850 some people forget that that's 6203 03:58:29,420 --> 03:58:29,787 required to support such a 6204 03:58:29,787 --> 03:58:30,488 decision. 6205 03:58:30,488 --> 03:58:33,488 Without that work you cannot 6206 03:58:33,991 --> 03:58:34,692 legally process this proposal. 6207 03:58:34,692 --> 03:58:37,692 You are

04:01:30,636 --> 04:01:33,636 actually doing the opposite of 6295 04:01:34,306 --> 04:01:34,706 that for our beloved town of 6296 04:01:34,706 --> 04:01:35,374 Ocean Beach. 6297 04:01:35,374 -->

04:05:18,632 appeal for historic 6446 04:05:18,632 --> 04:05:20,632 designations and leave 6447 04:05:21,635 --> 04:05:22,336 the appeals process as is. 6448 04:05:22,336 --> 04:05:23,103 Prior to 97 the historic site 6449 04:05:23,103 --> 04:05:26,103 board was only advisory and 6450 04:05:26,707 --> 04:05:27,407 council could and did 6451 04:05:27,407 --> 04:05:28,700 relitigate almost every case. 6452 04:05:28,700 --> 04:05:30,700 The Council deliberately 6453 04:05:31,645 --> 04:05:32,279 shifted to the current model 6454 04:05:32,279 --> 04:05:32,946 for reasons of expertise, 6455 04:05:32,946 --> 04:05:34,946 efficiency and consistency. 6456 04:05:36,450 --> 04:05:37,117 The uncertainty others have 6457 04:05:37,117 --> 04:05:37,785 complained about comes from 6458 04:05:37,785 --> 04:05:38,452 decades of underfunding city 6459 04:05:38,452 --> 04:05:40,852 surveys and not implementing 6460 04:05:41,822 --> 04:05:42,522 historic districts. 6461 04:05:42,522 --> 04:05:43,900 Recreating a process that did 6462 04:05:43,900 --> 04:05:43,457 not work will not fix 6463 04:05:43,457 --> 04:05:45,457 the issue. 6464 04:05:46,727 --> 04:05:47,399 I also ask the city

04:17:53,458 shows where those resources can 6889 04:17:53,458 --> 04:17:54,125 be located because you're not 6890 04:17:54,125 --> 04:17:57,725 going to find, you know, an 6891 04:17:58,230 --> 04:17:58,934 ocean beach cottage in, you 6892 04:17:58,934 --> 04:17:59,665 know, North Park or La Hoya. 6893 04:17:59,665 --> 04:18:00,632 However, we have to draw a 6894 04:18:00,632 --> 04:18:03,568 boundary on a map to show you 6895 04:18:03,568 --> 04:18:04,336 where they are. 6896 04:18:04,336 --> 04:18:05,370 But within that if we can 6897 04:18:05,370 --> 04:18:05,411 advance one more slide please. 6898 04:18:05,411 --> 04:18:07,411 Thank you. 6899 04:18:08,607 --> 04:18:09,341 Within that only the designated 6900 04:18:09,341 --> 04:18:11,741 pink contributing resources are 6901 04:18:12,878 --> 04:18:13,579 regulated and that's because 6902 04:18:13,579 --> 04:18:15,979 those resources are scattered 6903 04:18:17,983 --> 04:18:18,717 So far throughout the district 6904 04:18:18,717 --> 04:18:21,717 and lack a concentration that 6905 04:18:22,587 --> 04:18:23,188 creates a sense of place 6906 04:18:23,188 --> 04:18:25,588 Contrasting that with a 6907 04:18:27,159 --> 04:18:27,926 traditional historic district 6908 04:18:27,926 --> 04:18:28,526 on the left such as South Park 6909 04:18:28,526 --> 04:18:31,526 and most of our historic 6910 04:18:32,397 --> 04:18:33,310 districts in the city And those 6911 04:18:33,310 --> 04:18:33,699 cases the vast majority of 6912 04:18:33,699 --> 04:18:34,233 properties contribute to why 6913 04:18:34,233 --> 04:18:36,633 this the district is 6914 04:18:37,403 --> 04:18:38,237 significant. 6915 04:18:38,237 --> 04:18:38,937 It creates a sense of place 6916 04:18:38,937 --> 04:18:42,441 that you are trying to protect 6917 04:18:42,441 --> 04:18:43,141 a collective significance that 6918 04:18:43,141 --> 04:18:43,909 you are trying to protect and 6919 04:18:43,909 --> 04:18:46,845 that is why we regulate all 6920 04:18:46,845 --> 04:18:47,579 properties within those 6921 04:18:47,579 --> 04:18:48,180 traditional historic districts. 6922 04:18:48,180 --> 04:18:51,180 Ocean Beach is our only 6923 04:18:51,984 --> 04:18:52,751 emerging historic district. 6924 04:18:52,751 --> 04:18:55,751 That district type was created 6925 04:18:56,355 --> 04:18:57,890 for Ocean Beach in response to 6926 04:18:57,890 --> 04:18:57,823 what the Ocean Beach Historical 6927 04:18:57,823 --> 04:19:00,823 Society was bringing forward at 6928 04:19:01,326 --> 04:19:02,600 that time We no longer have an 6929 04:19:02,600 --> 04:19:02,795 emerging historic district type 6930 04:19:02,795 --> 04:19:05,795 in our historic district policy 6931 04:19:06,265 --> 04:19:06,899 because it's not consistent 6932 04:19:06,899 --> 04:19:07,266 with historic preservation 6933 04:19:07,266 --> 04:19:09,266 practices. 6934 04:19:10,102 --> 04:19:10,803 So it is the one and only 6935 04:19:10,803 --> 04:19:11,369 district and it's why we have 6936 04:19:11,369 --> 04:19:13,769 recommended that it be 6937 04:19:14,774 --> 04:19:17,174 converted to a multiple 6938 04:19:19,210 --> 04:19:19,545 property listing in the future 6939 04:19:19,545 --> 04:19:19,912 . 6940 04:19:19,912 --> 04:19:21,912 Thank you. 6941 04:19:24,517 --> 04:19:25,518 So in other words there are 6942 04:19:25,518 --> 04:19:28,988 three designations o b is not a 6943 04:19:28,988 --> 04:19:30,988 historic district. 6944 04:19:33,325 --> 04:19:36,325 It has an emerging district 6945 04:19:36,662 --> 04:19:37,596 quality about it from the year 6946 04:19:37,596 --> 04:19:41,196 2000 there was a time limit on 6947 04:19:41,966 --> 04:19:42,835 the number on the number of 6948 04:19:42,835 --> 04:19:46,435 years that it could take to 6949 04:19:47,500 --> 04:19:50,500 become a historic district and 6950 04:19:51,409 --> 04:19:55,900 that was 27 years ago And that 6951 04:19:56,348 --> 04:19:57,480 the consideration of which 6952 04:19:57,480 --> 04:19:57,516 properties bought that is not 6953 04:19:57,516 --> 04:19:59,516 the city's job. 6954 04:20:01,486 --> 04:20:02,221 Can you please explain how is 6955 04:20:02,221 --> 04:20:05,758 it that a household that wishes 6956 04:20:05,758 --> 04:20:06,359 to be a historic designation 6957 04:20:06,359 --> 04:20:06,659 gets to be that way? 6958 04:20:06,659 --> 04:20:08,659 Sure. 6959 04:20:10,696 --> 04:20:11,497 So the Ocean Beach Cottage 6960 04:20:11,497 --> 04:20:14,497 Emerging Historic District is a 6961 04:20:15,735 --> 04:20:16,502 designated historic district. 6962 04:20:16,502 --> 04:20:16,968 It's just a different type of 6963 04:20:16,968 --> 04:20:17,569 district. 6964 04:20:17,569 --> 04:20:20,706 It is an emerging district and 6965 04:20:20,706 --> 04:20:21,674 it is voluntary in nature. 6966 04:20:21,674 --> 04:20:22,542 So in order for a property to 6967 04:20:22,542 --> 04:20:25,745 be designated as part of that 6968 04:20:25,745 --> 04:20:26,479 district, the property owner 6969 04:20:26,479 --> 04:20:29,382 would need to approach heritage 6970 04:20:29,382 --> 04:20:29,882 preservation staff and request 6971 04:20:29,882 --> 04:20:30,583 that designation. 6972 04:20:30,583 --> 04:20:33,583 We would require some minimal 6973 04:20:34,354 --> 04:20:35,880 documentation from them about 6974 04:20:35,880 --> 04:20:38,688 their building and how it meets 6975 04:20:39,859 --> 04:20:40,393 the theme and and 6976 04:20:40,393 --> 04:20:40,827 the significance of 6977 04:20:40,827 --> 04:20:41,494 the district. 6978 04:20:41,494 --> 04:20:42,128 And then we would take that 6979 04:20:42,128 --> 04:20:44,528 forward to the Historical 6980 04:20:44,630 --> 04:20:45,310 Resources Board for for 6981 04:20:45,310 --> 04:20:47,310 designation. 6982 04:20:48,134 --> 04:20:48,568 We have not had any requests 6983 04:20:48,568 --> 04:20:49,302 since 2008. 6984 04:20:49,302 --> 04:20:49,936 There were seven updates to 6985 04:20:49,936 --> 04:20:52,839 the district after it was 6986 04:20:52,839 --> 04:20:53,473 originally designated that 6987 04:20:53,473 --> 04:20:54,306 resulted in the current 72 6988 04:20:54,306 --> 04:20:56,809 properties but we have not had 6989 04:20:56,809 --> 04:20:57,643 any new requests since 2008. 6990 04:20:57,643 --> 04:21:01,714 If we did receive one we would 6991 04:21:01,714 --> 04:21:02,549 bring it forward. 6992 04:21:02,549 --> 04:21:06,149 I'll also just add briefly that 6993 04:21:07,253 --> 04:21:07,921 within the district since only 6994 04:21:07,921 --> 04:21:08,455 the contributing parcels are 6995 04:21:08,455 --> 04:21:10,855 regulated as part of 6996 04:21:11,791 --> 04:21:12,392 the district, everything else 6997 04:21:12,392 --> 04:21:13,920 within the community is 6998 04:21:13,920 --> 04:21:16,920 reviewed as an over 45 review 6999 04:21:16,362 --> 04:21:17,300 meaning the city's requirement 7000 04:21:17,300 --> 04:21:17,864 that any property that's 45 7001 04:21:17,864 --> 04:21:20,900 years old or older has to be 7002 04:21:20,900 --> 04:21:21,568 reviewed for potential 7003 04:21:21,568 --> 04:21:22,235 significance when there's a 7004 04:21:22,235 --> 04:21:24,235 building permit application. 7005 04:21:26,720 --> 04:21:26,740 If we see a cottage come across 7006 04:21:26,740 --> 04:21:27,406 our desk during that review 7007 04:21:27,406 --> 04:21:29,806 process which doesn't happen 7008 04:21:31,210 --> 04:21:31,845 very often but if it does we 7009 04:21:31,845 --> 04:21:32,512 will flag for the property 7010 04:21:32,512 --> 04:21:33,179 owner that hey you could be 7011 04:21:33,179 --> 04:21:36,179 eligible as part of this 7012 04:21:36,616 --> 04:21:37,317 district if you were interested 7013 04:21:37,317 --> 04:21:38,500 and we provide the information 7014 04:21:38,500 --> 04:21:41,200 but we ultimately cannot compel 7015 04:21:41,200 --> 04:21:41,454 them to participate in 7016 04:21:41,454 --> 04:21:43,454 the district. 7017 04:21:45,491 --> 04:21:46,292 Thank you. 7018 04:21:46,292 --> 04:21:46,593 So you have to ask for it. 7019 04:21:46,593 --> 04:21:48,593 Okay. 7020 04:21:50,163 --> 04:21:53,163 And you have to fit 7021 04:21:53,967 --> 04:21:54,601 the requirements of being built 7022 04:21:54,601 --> 04:21:55,235 between 1887 and 1931 and 7023 04:21:55,235 --> 04:21:57,635 the Ocean Beach Historical 7024 04:21:58,839 --> 04:21:59,539 Society which asked for 7025 04:21:59,539 --> 04:22:02,539 the emerging idea was to 7026 04:22:03,877 --> 04:22:04,578 complete a comprehensive survey 7027 04:22:04,578 --> 04:22:08,178 of the community over the past 7028 04:22:09,150 --> 04:22:09,448 27 years and evidently that has 7029 04:22:09,448 --> 04:22:10,150 not been done. 7030 04:22:10,150 --> 04:22:13,150 But it doesn't matter because 7031 04:22:13,387 --> 04:22:14,187 still when a property comes up 7032 04:22:14,187 --> 04:22:14,854 to the city like that we still 7033 04:22:14,854 --> 04:22:17,854 ask the historic board to 7034 04:22:17,991 --> 04:22:19,991 review it. 7035 04:22:22,596 --> 04:22:23,463 Does this change? 7036 04:22:23,463 --> 04:22:26,666 Well, let me just say why we're 7037 04:22:26,666 --> 04:22:27,367 having this change over my 7038 04:22:27,367 --> 04:22:28,101 seven years on this council I 7039 04:22:28,101 --> 04:22:31,101 have seen the historic Resource 7040 04:22:31,805 --> 04:22:32,439 Board decisions that come to 7041 04:22:32,439 --> 04:22:34,839 the Council are sometimes 7042 04:22:36,676 --> 04:22:37,377 confusing sounding, 7043 04:22:37,377 --> 04:22:39,777 particularly given the strict 7044 04:22:41,114 --> 04:22:41,915 limitations on what the Council 7045 04:22:41,915 --> 04:22:45,515 is allowed to discuss by law 7046 04:22:46,553 --> 04:22:47,321 about these things. 7047 04:22:47,321 --> 04:22:50,921 And so this fourth option will 7048 04:22:51,258 --> 04:22:52,590 give the Council more ability 7049 04:22:52,590 --> 04:22:55,590 to articulate the points that 7050 04:22:56,296 --> 04:22:56,897 we find pertinent and provide 7051 04:22:56,897 --> 04:22:57,664 guidance moving forward. 7052 04:22:57,664 --> 04:23:01,264 We certainly do not want to 7053 04:23:01,635 --> 04:23:01,935 lose our historic ness in San 7054 04:23:01,935 --> 04:23:03,935 Diego. 7055 04:23:06,372 --> 04:23:06,974 Now importantly, this policy 7056 04:23:06,974 --> 04:23:08,974 clarifies that complete 7057 04:23:11,478 --> 04:23:12,112 communities is still allowed 7058 04:23:12,112 --> 04:23:12,846 and thematic and emerging 7059 04:23:12,846 --> 04:23:15,816 districts so there's no change 7060 04:23:15,816 --> 04:23:16,650 there. 7061 04:23:16,650 --> 04:23:20,250 Does this have anything to do 7062 04:23:20,554 --> 04:23:21,388 with sequence or ada use? 7063 04:23:21,388 --> 04:23:24,388 >> No, it doesn't have anything 7064 04:23:25,826 --> 04:23:28,226 to do with 80 use. 7065 04:23:29,597 --> 04:23:30,297 We do review and approve 80 7066 04:23:30,297 --> 04:23:30,898 used on designated parcels and 7067 04:23:30,898 --> 04:23:31,599 in designated historical 7068 04:23:31,599 --> 04:23:34,702 districts all the time So it's 7069 04:23:34,702 --> 04:23:35,469 not related to accessory 7070 04:23:35,469 --> 04:23:38,469 dwelling units in terms of 7071 04:23:39,173 --> 04:23:39,807 square. 7072 04:23:39,807 --> 04:23:40,474 Our environmental analysis 7073 04:23:40,474 --> 04:23:43,474 staff and the City Planning 7074 04:23:43,744 --> 04:23:44,445 Department has reviewed package 7075 04:23:44,445 --> 04:23:47,445 a and has prepared a 7076 04:23:48,416 --> 04:23:49,116 consistency memo finding that 7077 04:23:49,116 --> 04:23:49,684 the package is consistent with 7078 04:23:49,684 --> 04:23:52,840 the analysis and other 7079 04:23:53,854 --> 04:23:54,555 environmental impact reports 7080 04:23:54,555 --> 04:23:55,189 prepared for other initiatives 7081 04:23:55,189 --> 04:23:55,856 and that there are no new 7082 04:23:55,856 --> 04:23:58,856 impacts and if there's any 7083 04:23:59,600 --> 04:23:59,860 additional detail that's needed 7084 04:23:59,860 --> 04:24:04,310 on that I'm happy to invite our 7085 04:24:04,310 --> 04:24:04,365 environmental staff up to 7086 04:24:04,365 --> 04:24:05,990 clarify. 7087 04:24:05,990 --> 04:24:05,466 >> Well, I don't think that's 7088 04:24:05,466 --> 04:24:07,466 necessary. 7089 04:24:09,103 --> 04:24:09,837 You don't have to worry. 7090 04:24:09,837 --> 04:24:13,437 It doesn't involve that and it 7091 04:24:13,441 --> 04:24:14,175 doesn't involve ada use And I'm 7092 04:24:14,175 --> 04:24:14,642 afraid you've been misled as to 7093 04:24:14,642 --> 04:24:17,420 how huge it is. 7094 04:24:18,946 --> 04:24:19,547 It's not huge is just to help 7095 04:24:19,547 --> 04:24:22,547 the council so that when 7096 04:24:23,490 --> 04:24:23,851 there's a strange request that 7097 04:24:23,851 --> 04:24:27,451 we don't quite agree with we 7098 04:24:27,622 --> 04:24:28,322 can ask other questions and 7099 04:24:28,322 --> 04:24:31,322 make decisions based on other 7100 04:24:31,893 --> 04:24:32,693 things besides the limited 7101 04:24:32,693 --> 04:24:33,127 amount that the law says we can 7102 04:24:33,127 --> 04:24:35,127 at this point. 7103 04:24:37,598 --> 04:24:41,669 So that's what I'd like to say 7104 04:24:41,669 --> 04:24:42,369 is that this is for the whole 7105 04:24:42,369 --> 04:24:45,969 city that we're on your side 7106 04:24:46,508 --> 04:24:47,750 and that this will help us to 7107 04:24:47,750 --> 04:24:49,750 make better decisions. 7108 04:24:50,110 --> 04:24:50,745 So for that reason I would like 7109 04:24:50,745 --> 04:24:53,145 to move staff's recommendation. 7110 04:24:55,349 --> 04:24:55,849 >> Thank you. 7111 04:24:55,849 --> 04:24:56,583 All right. 7112 04:24:56,583 --> 04:24:57,185 We have a motion by Council 7113 04:24:57,185 --> 04:24:59,585 member Campbell to move 7114 04:25:00,121 --> 04:25:00,922 the staff recommendation and 7115 04:25:00,922 --> 04:25:01,289 we'll go next to Council member 7116 04:25:01,289 --> 04:25:01,956 Whitburn. 7117 04:25:01,956 --> 04:25:04,356 Thank you Council PRESIDENT 7118 04:25:05,760 --> 04:25:06,427 Thank you both Stanko and to 7119 04:25:06,427 -->

perspectives on 7136 04:25:32,987 --> 04:25:33,855 this issue. 7137 04:25:33,855 --> 04:25:34,556 I share the goal of having a 7138 04:25:34,556 --> 04:25:36,556 historic preservation program 7139 04:25:38,326 --> 04:25:39,126 that is credible, that is 7140 04:25:39,126 --> 04:25:42,726 accurate and that is worthy of 7141 04:25:43,164 --> 04:25:43,932 public trust. 7142 04:25:43,932 --> 04:25:44,566 I also appreciate that many of 7143 04:25:44,566 --> 04:25:46,966 the advocates for historic 7144 04:25:48,690 --> 04:25:48,637 preservation here today 7145 04:25:48,637 --> 04:25:50,637 recognize the housing 7146 04:25:52,707 --> 04:25:53,241 affordability challenges that 7147 04:25:53,241 --> 04:25:54,750 our city faces. 7148 04:25:54,750 --> 04:25:57,750 Every San Diego who supports 7149 04:25:57,612 --> 04:25:58,280 both historic preservation and 7150 04:25:58,280 --> 04:26:00,280 housing affordability knows 7151 04:26:02,784 --> 04:26:05,784 that we can achieve both. 7152 04:26:07,220 --> 04:26:07,723 That's why I believe that 7153 04:26:07,723 --> 04:26:10,723 updates like those proposed in 7154 04:26:11,493 --> 04:26:12,160 Package a are important These 7155 04:26:12,160 --> 04:26:12,594 reforms strengthen noticing 7156 04:26:12,594 --> 04:26:14,594 requirements. 7157 04:26:16,298 --> 04:26:16,932 They clarify appeal processes 7158 04:26:16,932 --> 04:26:19,332 and they improve alignment 7159 04:26:21,403 --> 04:26:22,700 between state and local review 7160 04:26:22,700 --> 04:26:24,470 all while maintaining strong 7161 04:26:26,140 --> 04:26:26,508 protections for truly historic 7162 04:26:26,508 --> 04:26:27,109 resources. 7163 04:26:27,109 --> 04:26:27,743 They help to ensure that 7164 04:26:27,743 --> 04:26:29,743 preservation decisions are 7165 04:26:31,880 --> 04:26:34,880 transparent and are fair and 7166 04:26:36,685 --> 04:26:37,386 are defensible Districts three 7167 04:26:37,386 --> 04:26:38,200 The district that I represent 7168 04:26:38,200 --> 04:26:40,989 the urban core of the city 7169 04:26:40,989 --> 04:26:41,656 downtown all the historic 7170 04:26:41,656 --> 04:26:43,656 neighborhoods around Balboa 7171 04:26:46,161 --> 04:26:46,795 Park offers many examples of 7172 04:26:46,795 --> 04:26:48,795 historic preservation done 7173 04:26:50,899 --> 04:26:51,600 right The Western Metal Supply 7174 04:26:51,600 --> 04:26:52,467 Company building at Petco Park 7175 04:26:52,467 --> 04:26:56,670 That is a great classic example 7176 04:26:56,700 --> 04:26:56,939 of adaptive reuse. 7177 04:26:56,939 --> 04:27:00,539 The chicken Pie shop in North 7178 04:27:01,760 --> 04:27:01,743 Park shows how historic 7179 04:27:01,743 --> 04:27:04,143 preservation and new housing 7180 04:27:06,480 --> 04:27:06,782 can coexist successfully and 7181 04:27:06,782 --> 04:27:07,416 more recently the establishment 7182 04:27:07,416 --> 04:27:10,416 of the city's first lgbtq 7183 04:27:11,219 --> 04:27:11,853 cultural historic district in 7184 04:27:11,853 --> 04:27:12,487 Hillcrest demonstrates how 7185 04:27:12,487 --> 04:27:14,887 preservation can evolve to 7186 04:27:15,357 --> 04:27:18,357 better reflect our full and 7187 04:27:20,162 --> 04:27:20,829 diverse history. 7188 04:27:20,829 --> 04:27:21,430 Within my district I've seen 7189 04:27:21,430 --> 04:27:22,310 historic appeals almost 7190 04:27:22,310 --> 04:27:24,400 entirely in our business 7191 04:27:24,400 --> 04:27:25,330 corridors where buildings have 7192 04:27:25,330 --> 04:27:28,330 often sat vacant for long 7193 04:27:29,710 --> 04:27:29,672 periods or experienced 7194 04:27:29,672 --> 04:27:30,439 substantial alterations. 7195 04:27:30,439 --> 04:27:33,439 The designation of the old 7196 04:27:34,609 --> 04:27:35,277 mission Hills Library was 7197 04:27:35,277 --> 04:27:38,277 appealed to the City council 7198 04:27:39,114 --> 04:27:39,848 and we upheld that designation 7199 04:27:39,848 --> 04:27:43,448 as historic And the outcome has 7200 04:27:43,819 --> 04:27:44,787 been terrific. 7201 04:27:44,787 --> 04:27:45,287 You could not ask for a better 7202 04:27:45,287 --> 04:27:47,287 contribution to 7203 04:27:48,691 --> 04:27:49,291 the neighborhood than the old 7204 04:27:49,291 --> 04:27:49,959 Mission Hills Library at 7205 04:27:49,959 --> 04:27:52,959 the bookstore that is there 7206 04:27:54,163 --> 04:27:55,129 today I want to address a 7207 04:27:55,129 --> 04:27:58,801 concern that I know a number of 7208 04:27:58,801 --> 04:27:59,502 you have Several people who 7209 04:27:59,502 --> 04:28:01,902 spoke today expressed concern 7210 04:28:03,839 --> 04:28:04,440 about the proposed change to 7211 04:28:04,440 --> 04:28:05,740 the historic designation 7212 04:28:05,740 --> 04:28:07,474 appeals process that gives 7213 04:28:08,444 --> 04:28:09,178 the city council the ability to 7214 04:28:09,178 --> 04:28:12,178 determine that the findings are 7215 04:28:12,914 --> 04:28:13,616 not supported. 7216 04:28:13,616 --> 04:28:16,616 The argument against that is 7217 04:28:17,586 --> 04:28:18,287 that the hrp is made up of 7218 04:28:18,287 --> 04:28:21,757 experts in the field and that 7219 04:28:21,757 --> 04:28:22,391 we should respect their 7220 04:28:22,391 --> 04:28:22,758 expertise and accept their 7221 04:28:22,758 --> 04:28:24,758 decision. 7222 04:28:27,196 --> 04:28:27,930 I respect the members of 7223 04:28:27,930 --> 04:28:30,330 the Historical Resources Board. 7224 04:28:32,212 --> 04:28:32,969 I respect their expertise. 7225 04:28:32,969 --> 04:28:33,269 I respect their service to our 7226 04:28:33,269 --> 04:28:35,269 city. 7227 04:28:36,572 --> 04:28:37,139 I care what the h r b has to 7228 04:28:37,139 --> 04:28:37,807 say and I understand 7229 04:28:37,807 --> 04:28:40,807 the argument that we should 7230 04:28:41,377 --> 04:28:44,377 defer to their expertise but 7231 04:28:46,382 --> 04:28:47,350 that cuts both ways. 7232 04:28:47,350 --> 04:28:47,717 You know who else has a lot of 7233 04:28:47,717 --> 04:28:49,717 expertise? 7234 04:28:51,587 --> 04:28:52,388 Our city's planning director 7235 04:28:52,388 --> 04:28:53,156 Heidi Van Block who is sitting 7236 04:28:53,156 --> 04:28:56,756 right over here she got her 7237 04:28:56,759 --> 04:28:57,492 degree in city and regional 7238 04:28:57,492 --> 04:28:57,993 planning and on top of that she 7239 04:28:57,993 --> 04:29:00,393 has a law degree. 7240 04:29:01,597 --> 04:29:02,200 She has years of professional 7241 04:29:02,200 --> 04:29:02,899 experience in the field. 7242 04:29:02,899 --> 04:29:05,899 Urban planning is an academic 7243 04:29:07,690 --> 04:29:07,737 field and this city's planning 7244 04:29:07,737 --> 04:29:10,737 department is chock full of 7245 04:29:11,574 --> 04:29:12,410 people with advanced degrees in 7246 04:29:12,410 --> 04:29:12,774 urban planning. 7247 04:29:12,774 --> 04:29:15,774 They are subject matter experts 7248 04:29:15,878 --> 04:29:16,546 Given all that expertise, 7249 04:29:16,546 --> 04:29:19,546 should the City Council just 7250 04:29:20,517 --> 04:29:21,184 approve everything that 7251 04:29:21,184 --> 04:29:21,584 the City Planning Department 7252 04:29:21,584 --> 04:29:22,318 determines? 7253 04:29:22,318 --> 04:29:25,318 Is urban planning best practice 7254 04:29:25,421 --> 04:29:28,421 after all, they're the subject 7255 04:29:30,590 --> 04:29:31,127 matter experts. 7256 04:29:31,127 --> 04:29:32,940 A lot of what we do up here is 7257 04:29:32,940 --> 04:29:35,310 we try to figure out what to do 7258 04:29:35,310 --> 04:29:35,798 when really smart people 7259 04:29:35,798 --> 04:29:38,798 disagree when experts in their 7260 04:29:39,869 --> 04:29:40,570 fields disagree. 7261 04:29:40,570 --> 04:29:43,570 Experts disagree all the time. 7262 04:29:44,973 --> 04:29:45,642 The experts on the h r b 7263 04:29:45,642 --> 04:29:45,975 frequently disagree with one 7264 04:29:45,975 --> 04:29:46,676 another. 7265 04:29:46,676 --> 04:29:50,246 If you look at the most recent 7266 04:29:50,246 --> 04:29:53,717 minutes posted online, the h r 7267 04:29:53,717 --> 04:29:54,500 b had split votes of 723822426 7268 04:29:54,500 --> 04:29:54,984 and 524. 7269 04:29:54,984 --> 04:29:58,584 So which of those experts were 7270 04:30:01,124 --> 04:30:01,891 right and which were wrong? 7271 04:30:01,891 --> 04:30:05,491 You know who is ultimately held 7272 04:30:05,962 --> 04:30:06,596 accountable for the decisions 7273 04:30:06,596 --> 04:30:09,596 The city council this city 7274 04:30:11,670 --> 04:30:11,734 council is held accountable for 7275 04:30:11,734 --> 04:30:12,435 the decisions that it makes. 7276 04:30:12,435 --> 04:30:15,672 So I think that it is 7277 04:30:15,672 --> 04:30:16,273 reasonable for the city council 7278 04:30:16,273 --> 04:30:16,940 to be able to make 7279 04:30:16,940 --> 04:30:19,940 the decisions that it thinks 7280 04:30:20,176 --> 04:30:21,144 are proper. 7281 04:30:21,144 --> 04:30:24,144 >> I understand the fear about 7282 04:30:25,482 --> 04:30:26,215 adding findings that supported 7283 04:30:26,215 --> 04:30:30,220 the fear is that it will result 7284 04:30:30,220 --> 04:30:30,853 in a flood of appeals of 7285 04:30:30,853 --> 04:30:33,253 designations and that this 7286 04:30:35,900 --> 04:30:35,659 Council will overturn many more 7287 04:30:35,659 --> 04:30:37,659 historic designations. 7288 04:30:39,362 --> 04:30:39,863 At this point we don't know but 7289 04:30:39,863 --> 04:30:40,697 I hear the fear. 7290 04:30:40,697 --> 04:30:43,697 I personally think it is 7291 04:30:44,768 --> 04:30:45,468 unlikely to result in many more 7292 04:30:45,468 --> 04:30:48,468 appeals and I personally think 7293 04:30:49,606 --> 04:30:53,206 it is unlikely to result in 7294 04:30:53,677 --> 04:30:54,177 more appeals or designations 7295 04:30:54,177 --> 04:30:54,978 being overturned. 7296 04:30:54,978 --> 04:30:55,812 But I think we should monitor 7297 04:30:55,812 --> 04:30:59,412 that because we don't know at 7298 04:30:59,516 --> 04:31:00,183 last month's land Use and 7299 04:31:00,183 --> 04:31:00,751 Housing Committee meeting I 7300 04:31:00,751 --> 04:31:03,151 asked staff to monitor 7301 04:31:03,754 --> 04:31:04,388 the implementation of 7302 04:31:04,388 --> 04:31:05,880 the findings not supported 7303 04:31:05,880 --> 04:31:08,880 appeal standard and include an 7304 04:31:08,825 --> 04:31:09,526 update on its usage in 7305 04:31:09,526 --> 04:31:11,926 the annual Historic Resources 7306 04:31:13,196 --> 04:31:14,131 Board report to the Council. 7307 04:31:14,131 --> 04:31:18,331 We will see what if any impact 7308 04:31:18,569 --> 04:31:19,269 this change actually has And I 7309 04:31:19,269 --> 04:31:19,903 appreciate the planning staff 7310 04:31:19,903 --> 04:31:22,903 agreeing to this that will 7311 04:31:23,573 --> 04:31:24,174 allow us to track the true 7312 04:31:24,174 --> 04:31:26,574 effects of the proposal. 7313 04:31:27,945 --> 04:31:28,612 If your worst fears come true 7314 04:31:28,612 --> 04:31:29,120 then we need to do something 7315 04:31:29,120 --> 04:31:29,679 about that. 7316 04:31:29,679 --> 04:31:32,679 If nothing happens then it's 7317 04:31:32,750 --> 04:31:33,617 probably okay. 7318 04:31:33,617 --> 04:31:37,588 At the end of the day I am 7319 04:31:37,588 --> 04:31:38,288 confident that preserving San 7320 04:31:38,288 --> 04:31:40,688 Diego's history and advancing 7321 04:31:42,426 --> 04:31:43,160 equitable inclusive growth are 7322 04:31:43,160 --> 04:31:46,160 not mutually exclusive goals In 7323 04:31:47,731 --> 04:31:48,432 my view in my view Package a 7324 04:31:48,432 --> 04:31:50,832 represents a careful measured 7325 04:31:52,770 --> 04:31:53,504 step toward a system that does 7326 04:31:53,504 --> 04:31:57,410 both of those things better And 7327 04:31:57,410 --> 04:31:57,641 I look forward to continuing 7328 04:31:57,641 --> 04:31:58,242 this conversation as we 7329 04:31:58,242 --> 04:32:00,642 continue to refine this 7330 04:32:02,279 --> 04:32:02,780 approach together. 7331 04:32:02,780 --> 04:32:03,514 So I will. 7332 04:32:03,514 --> 04:32:05,514 Second Councilmember Campbell's 7333 04:32:07,510 --> 04:32:07,852 motion Thank you again to all 7334 04:32:07,852 --> 04:32:08,519 of you for your advocacy on 7335 04:32:08,519 --> 04:32:11,519 these issues and thank you. 7336 04:32:11,789 --> 04:32:12,890 >> Council PRESIDENT All right 7337 04:32:12,890 --> 04:32:12,556 . 7338 04:32:12,556 --> 04:32:13,390 Thank you, sir. 7339 04:32:13,390 --> 04:32:14,125 So we have a motion by council 7340 04:32:14,125 --> 04:32:14,792 member Campbell and a second by 7341 04:32:14,792 --> 04:32:16,861 COUNCILMAN Whitburn to move 7342 04:32:16,861 --> 04:32:17,894 the staff recommendation. 7343 04:32:17,894 --> 04:32:21,494 I don't see anybody else on 7344 04:32:21,966 --> 04:32:22,933 the line. 7345 04:32:22,933 --> 04:32:25,669 I'm going to ask a few 7346 04:32:25,669 --> 04:32:26,370 questions And one one of 7347 04:32:26,370 --> 04:32:26,837 the public speakers talk about 7348 04:32:26,837 --> 04:32:28,837 grandfathering. 7349 04:32:30,641 --> 04:32:31,800 I assume there's some folks in 7350 04:32:31,800 --> 04:32:31,542 progress. 7351 04:32:31,542 --> 04:32:32,243 How does that affect 7352 04:32:32,243 --> 04:32:35,243 applications that might be in 7353 04:32:36,120 --> 04:32:38,412 progress in regard to 7354 04:32:41,180 --> 04:32:41,719 the appeal findings to 7355 04:32:41,719 --> 04:32:42,486 the whole package or that MAY 7356 04:32:42,486 --> 04:32:45,123 be the whole package but more 7357 04:32:45,123 --> 04:32:45,723 specifically to the appeal I'm 7358 04:32:45,723 --> 04:32:48,723 trying to think of where 7359 04:32:49,994 --> 04:32:50,361 grandfathering would be 7360 04:32:50,361 --> 04:32:50,962 relevant. 7361 04:32:50,962 --> 04:32:51,662 I mean in regards to 7362 04:32:51,662 --> 04:32:54,966 the appeals we do have appeals 7363 04:32:54,966 --> 04:32:55,700 that are currently on file and 7364 04:32:55,700 --> 04:32:56,400 these proposed amendments would 7365 04:32:56,400 --> 04:32:59,400 apply to appeals going forward 7366 04:32:59,437 --> 04:33:03,637 but not to the ones that are 7367 04:33:04,542 --> 04:33:05,209 currently pending In terms of 7368 04:33:05,209 --> 04:33:07,209 complete communities housing 7369 04:33:09,747 --> 04:33:10,548 solutions I believe projects 7370 04:33:10,548 --> 04:33:10,948 are able to opt into new 7371 04:33:10,948 --> 04:33:11,582 regulations. 7372 04:33:11,582 --> 04:33:11,949 They're grandfathered into 7373 04:33:11,949 --> 04:33:13,949 existing. 7374 04:33:15,820 --> 04:33:16,187 They can opt in to new if they 7375 04:33:16,187 --> 04:33:16,521 choose to. 7376 04:33:16,521 --> 04:33:17,221 >> Okay. 7377 04:33:17,221 --> 04:33:18,550 I think part of your point is 7378 04:33:18,550 --> 04:33:19,857 that there isn't a lot of 7379 04:33:19,857 --> 04:33:20,458 dramatic change. 7380 04:33:20,458 --> 04:33:21,580 The appeal is obviously 7381 04:33:21,580 --> 04:33:23,458 the most important one. 7382 04:33:25,163 --> 04:33:28,763 I'm going forward So I wanted 7383 04:33:29,667 --> 04:33:30,301 to build on the questions and 7384 04:33:30,301 --> 04:33:32,701 comments that my colleague 7385 04:33:34,806 --> 04:33:35,506 Councilmember Campbell said 7386 04:33:35,506 --> 04:33:37,906 The emerging district through 7387 04:33:39,376 --> 04:33:40,144 72 that have voluntarily is 7388 04:33:40,144 --> 04:33:40,845 there a threshold by which it 7389 04:33:40,845 --> 04:33:43,845 would change from an emerging 7390 04:33:45,283 --> 04:33:46,500 district to a historic district 7391 04:33:46,500 --> 04:33:49,650 if there were x number of 7392 04:33:50,688 --> 04:33:51,389 identify cottages in 7393 04:33:51,389 --> 04:33:51,756 the current criteria for that 7394 04:33:51,756 --> 04:33:53,756 district? 7395 04:33:55,426 --> 04:33:56,127 >> So when the emerging 7396 04:33:56,127 --> 04:33:58,527 historic district type was 7397 04:34:00,732 --> 04:34:01,266 created the policy stated that 7398 04:34:01,266 --> 04:34:01,966 when you had enough 7399 04:34:01,966 --> 04:34:04,366 contributing resources as part 7400 04:34:06,404 --> 04:34:07,720 of the district you would look 7401 04:34:07,720 --> 04:34:07,672 at converting it either to a 7402 04:34:07,672 --> 04:34:09,672 traditional district or 7403 04:34:11,175 --> 04:34:13,175 thematic district. 7404 04:34:16,810 --> 04:34:16,814 This district the contributing 7405 04:34:16,814 --> 04:34:17,382 resources are so scattered they 7406 04:34:17,382 --> 04:34:19,782 would never have that 7407 04:34:20,585 --> 04:34:21,286 concentration of typically 7408 04:34:21,286 --> 04:34:22,200 about 65% contributing that we 7409 04:34:22,200 --> 04:34:22,653 would look for in a traditional 7410 04:34:22,653 --> 04:34:25,530 district where we regulate 7411 04:34:25,823 --> 04:34:26,124 everything within the boundary 7412 04:34:26,124 --> 04:34:26,958 . 7413 04:34:26,958 --> 04:34:27,859 So if it were ever converted to 7414 04:34:27,859 --> 04:34:30,962 anything it would be a thematic 7415 04:34:30,962 --> 04:34:31,796 type district. 7416 04:34:31,796 --> 04:34:32,430 But our current district policy 7417 04:34:32,430 --> 04:34:34,430 doesn't reference thematic 7418 04:34:35,834 --> 04:34:36,701 districts because preservation 7419 04:34:36,701 --> 04:34:37,369 as a whole as a field moved 7420 04:34:37,369 --> 04:34:39,769 away from thematic districts 7421 04:34:41,439 --> 04:34:42,173 and towards multiple property 7422 04:34:42,173 --> 04:34:42,841 listings which is why the Ocean 7423 04:34:42,841 --> 04:34:45,241 Beach Blue Plan historic 7424 04:34:46,878 --> 04:34:47,546 preservation element recommends 7425 04:34:47,546 --> 04:34:48,280 converting the district to a 7426 04:34:48,280 --> 04:34:48,947 multiple property listing which 7427 04:34:48,947 --> 04:34:52,547 would have the same type of 7428 04:34:52,551 --> 04:34:53,250 regulation that the district 7429 04:34:53,250 --> 04:34:53,785 currently has just in a modern 7430 04:34:53,785 --> 04:34:55,785 preservation format. 7431 04:34:57,550 --> 04:34:57,989 Okay. 7432 04:34:57,989 --> 04:34:58,790 I wanted to ask because I think 7433 04:34:58,790 --> 04:35:01,190 I heard 3000 properties and 7434 04:35:02,761 --> 04:35:03,461 some representation There are 7435 04:35:03,461 --> 04:35:06,461 hundreds of these cottages so 7436 04:35:07,232 --> 04:35:07,966 even if every single one of 7437 04:35:07,966 --> 04:35:10,966 them converted it wouldn't meet 7438 04:35:11,970 --> 04:35:12,837 a threshold. 7439 04:35:12,837 --> 04:35:13,505 I don't foresee that they are 7440 04:35:13,505 --> 04:35:16,505 so scattered in the existing 7441 04:35:18,175 --> 04:35:18,844 boundary I don't see how you 7442 04:35:18,844 --> 04:35:19,544 would hit that concentration 7443 04:35:19,544 --> 04:35:21,580 And just anecdotally in terms 7444 04:35:21,580 --> 04:35:22,281 of what we've seen in the over 7445 04:35:22,281 --> 04:35:22,981 45 review we are not coming 7446 04:35:22,981 --> 04:35:23,414 across eligible cottages on a 7447 04:35:23,414 --> 04:35:25,414 regular basis. 7448 04:35:27,986 --> 04:35:28,853 >> Okay. 7449 04:35:28,853 --> 04:35:29,554 And I know I put you on 7450 04:35:29,554 --> 04:35:30,254 the spot I don't mean to hold 7451 04:35:30,254 --> 04:35:32,240 you there but I think that was 7452 04:35:32,240 --> 04:35:32,725 kind of what I thought you 7453 04:35:32,725 --> 04:35:36,325 would probably go in terms of 7454 04:35:38,630 --> 04:35:38,997 us making changes. 7455 04:35:38,997 --> 04:35:39,665 I've been here five years and I 7456 04:35:39,665 --> 04:35:42,665 have a hard time remembering 7457 04:35:42,835 --> 04:35:43,235 how many times an appeal came 7458 04:35:43,235 --> 04:35:44,169 to us. 7459 04:35:44,169 --> 04:35:44,970 Do you have any data on 2025, 7460 04:35:44,970 --> 04:35:47,370 2024 about how many appeals 7461 04:35:48,372 --> 04:35:48,707 actually made it to city 7462 04:35:48,707 --> 04:35:49,108 council? 7463 04:35:49,108 --> 04:35:49,808 I apologize. 7464 04:35:49,808 --> 04:35:50,109 I don't have numbers in front 7465 04:35:50,109 --> 04:35:52,109 of me. 7466 04:35:53,279 --> 04:35:54,460 I will say in most instances 7467 04:35:54,460 --> 04:35:57,460 appeals come before the city 7468 04:35:58,951 --> 04:35:59,651 council when the property owner 7469 04:35:59,651 --> 04:36:00,219 does not want designation and 7470 04:36:00,219 --> 04:36:00,953 the property has been 7471 04:36:00,953 --> 04:36:04,356 designated as part of a project 7472 04:36:04,356 --> 04:36:06,756 review process That happens 7473 04:36:09,628 --> 04:36:13,828 maybe once or twice a year if 7474 04:36:14,533 --> 04:36:15,301 that we did have a little kind 7475 04:36:15,301 --> 04:36:16,101 of flurry of appeals a couple 7476 04:36:16,101 --> 04:36:20,301 of years back where a member of 7477 04:36:20,339 --> 04:36:21,400 the community was appealing 7478 04:36:21,400 --> 04:36:21,740 designation where the property 7479 04:36:21,740 --> 04:36:24,740 owner wanted a designation And 7480 04:36:25,411 --> 04:36:26,450 so we saw kind of a little 7481 04:36:26,450 --> 04:36:26,812 uptick Then Those were all 7482 04:36:26,812 --> 04:36:29,812 appeals where staff did not 7483 04:36:31,250 --> 04:36:31,751 support the appeal and 7484 04:36:31,751 --> 04:36:32,218 the council upheld 7485 04:36:32,218 --> 04:36:34,218 the designation. 7486 04:36:36,589 --> 04:36:37,223 We have not seen appeals of 7487 04:36:37,223 --> 04:36:37,823 properties where the owner 7488 04:36:37,823 --> 04:36:39,823 wanted designation since 7489 04:36:42,194 --> 04:36:42,494 the appeal fee went into effect 7490 04:36:42,494 --> 04:36:43,362 . 7491 04:36:43,362 --> 04:36:45,631 >> So not very often I'm just 7492 04:36:45,631 --> 04:36:49,231 kind of checking my notes for 7493 04:36:51,937 --> 04:36:52,838 the other question that I had 7494 04:36:52,838 --> 04:36:53,506 and you know how I look at 7495 04:36:53,506 --> 04:36:56,506 these things So the findings 7496 04:36:57,843 --> 04:36:58,511 not supported So when we get a 7497 04:36:58,511 --> 04:37:00,511 discretionary review project 7498 04:37:02,715 --> 04:37:03,482 and we're told this is a quasi 7499 04:37:03,482 --> 04:37:07,820 judicial de novo hearing and we 7500 04:37:09,155 --> 04:37:09,889 want to deny the project, we 7501 04:37:09,889 --> 04:37:10,555 get advised that you better dig 7502 04:37:10,555 --> 04:37:14,260 deep and you better tell us 7503 04:37:14,260 --> 04:37:14,760 which findings you're not 7504 04:37:14,760 --> 04:37:15,461 making or what the findings are 7505 04:37:15,461 --> 04:37:18,461 that you're going to overturn 7506 04:37:19,165 --> 04:37:19,966 this if it's simply a council 7507 04:37:19,966 --> 04:37:23,566 member saying Hey, I can't make 7508 04:37:24,771 --> 04:37:25,471 the findings so the three 7509 04:37:25,471 --> 04:37:26,205 current findings that are are 7510 04:37:26,205 --> 04:37:26,805 available to you would continue 7511 04:37:26,805 --> 04:37:29,805 to be available to you. 7512 04:37:29,975 --> 04:37:30,575 We'd be adding this fourth 7513 04:37:30,575 --> 04:37:31,277 finding of findings not 7514 04:37:31,277 --> 04:37:34,277 supported and what that would 7515 04:37:34,847 --> 04:37:35,548 require the Council to do in 7516 04:37:35,548 --> 04:37:36,249 making that finding is to look 7517 04:37:36,249 --> 04:37:36,949 at all of the information that 7518 04:37:36,949 --> 04:37:39,949 was presented to the board 7519 04:37:40,553 --> 04:37:41,154 regarding the building's 7520 04:37:41,154 --> 04:37:41,754 history and how it meets 7521 04:37:41,754 --> 04:37:42,388 the city's criteria for 7522 04:37:42,388 --> 04:37:44,388 designation and determine 7523 04:37:46,659 --> 04:37:47,259 whether the findings that 7524 04:37:47,259 --> 04:37:47,860 the board made when they 7525 04:37:47,860 --> 04:37:48,561 designated designated it 7526 04:37:48,561 --> 04:37:51,664 because they do have to adopt 7527 04:37:51,664 --> 04:37:52,198 findings specifying which 7528 04:37:52,198 --> 04:37:52,832 designation criteria 7529 04:37:52,832 --> 04:37:53,466 the property meets and why 7530 04:37:53,466 --> 04:37:55,866 whether that finding that 7531 04:37:57,904 --> 04:37:58,438 the board made is supported by 7532 04:37:58,438 --> 04:37:59,380 the record by all of 7533 04:37:59,380 --> 04:37:59,738 the information that was 7534 04:37:59,738 --> 04:38:02,609 presented to the board and if 7535 04:38:02,609 --> 04:38:03,343 you find that it is not 7536 04:38:03,343 --> 04:38:04,770 supported then you can overturn 7537 04:38:04,770 --> 04:38:04,377 the designation on that ground. 7538 04:38:04,377 --> 04:38:06,377 Okay. 7539 04:38:07,947 --> 04:38:09,480 Thank you for clarifying that. 7540 04:38:09,480 --> 04:38:13,248 >> It was a symbol of all three 7541 04:38:13,486 --> 04:38:15,886 words in reflecting on 7542 04:38:18,458 --> 04:38:19,920 the comments by the public I 7543 04:38:19,920 --> 04:38:19,793 will tell you that anytime 7544 04:38:19,793 --> 04:38:23,393 anybody uses the word to give 7545 04:38:24,864 --> 04:38:25,497 me your yimby I pretty much 7546 04:38:25,497 --> 04:38:26,166 toss out their arguments. 7547 04:38:26,166 --> 04:38:28,566 >> The argument that you're 7548 04:38:31,404 --> 04:38:32,105 politicizing or you're putting 7549 04:38:32,105 --> 04:38:32,806 in the hands of politicians I 7550 04:38:32,806 --> 04:38:35,806 cannot say it doesn't resonate 7551 04:38:36,900 --> 04:38:39,609 resonate with me because we do 7552 04:38:41,140 --> 04:38:41,748 de novo hearings all the time. 7553 04:38:41,748 --> 04:38:45,348 We're asked to be experts on 7554 04:38:46,586 --> 04:38:47,220 biology's soils engineering, 7555 04:38:47,220 --> 04:38:49,220 traffic engineering, even 7556 04:38:51,892 --> 04:38:52,592 interpretation sequel and that 7557 04:38:52,592 --> 04:38:56,192 is a requirement we do all 7558 04:38:58,231 --> 04:38:58,865 the time and it's a big ask of 7559 04:38:58,865 --> 04:38:59,533 asking enough Our council 7560 04:38:59,533 --> 04:39:01,933 members sometimes we support 7561 04:39:03,470 --> 04:39:04,104 the appeal, sometimes we don't 7562 04:39:04,104 --> 04:39:07,104 based on our best efforts. 7563 04:39:09,709 --> 04:39:10,376 So I don't see that the one 7564 04:39:10,376 --> 04:39:13,376 change that seems to occupy 7565 04:39:15,480 --> 04:39:15,682 most folks mind as in itself a 7566 04:39:15,682 --> 04:39:16,316 compelling However what is 7567 04:39:16,316 --> 04:39:19,316 compelling to me is that 7568 04:39:21,321 --> 04:39:21,654 appeals are few and far 7569 04:39:21,654 --> 04:39:23,654 between. 7570 04:39:26,993 --> 04:39:27,627 I've seen appeals if my memory 7571 04:39:27,627 --> 04:39:28,327 serves me which it doesn't 7572 04:39:28,327 --> 04:39:28,962 often they actually support an 7573 04:39:28,962 --> 04:39:31,362 appeal and we've rejected 7574 04:39:32,733 --> 04:39:33,433 appeals everybody. 7575 04:39:33,433 --> 04:39:36,433 Some people walked away happy, 7576 04:39:38,380 --> 04:39:38,906 some people walked away unhappy 7577 04:39:38,906 --> 04:39:42,676 But nobody felt like as far as 7578 04:39:42,676 --> 04:39:43,477 I could tell that while if I 7579 04:39:43,477 --> 04:39:44,445 just had one more tool here and 7580 04:39:44,445 --> 04:39:48,645 so I am not going to support 7581 04:39:49,449 --> 04:39:50,150 the package for the inclusion 7582 04:39:50,150 --> 04:39:50,917 of the findings not supported 7583 04:39:50,917 --> 04:39:55,117 I'm not going to ask for an 7584 04:39:55,756 --> 04:39:56,490 amendment but I would ask my 7585 04:39:56,490 --> 04:39:56,757 colleagues to think twice about 7586 04:39:56,757 --> 04:39:58,757 it. 7587 04:40:01,428 --> 04:40:02,229 I would ask about be 7588 04:40:02,229 --> 04:40:02,930 reevaluated as to what are we 7589 04:40:02,930 --> 04:40:03,664 really doing with this Because 7590 04:40:03,664 --> 04:40:04,231 a few people thought that was a 7591 04:40:04,231 --> 04:40:07,231 good idea just as very 7592 04:40:07,634 --> 04:40:08,235 compelling to me and I don't 7593 04:40:08,235 --> 04:40:11,235 see any evidence that it 7594 04:40:12,673 --> 04:40:13,273 actually is an important tool 7595 04:40:13,273 --> 04:40:13,874 that we're dramatically 7596 04:40:13,874 --> 04:40:14,575 reducing that is causing 7597 04:40:14,575 --> 04:40:16,575 disruption, interference, what 7598 04:40:18,445 --> 04:40:19,179 have you. 7599 04:40:19,179 --> 04:40:19,880 But clearly in the public's 7600 04:40:19,880 --> 04:40:24,800 eyes the fear of what it could 7601 04:40:24,785 --> 04:40:25,486 mean is disruptive And I'm just 7602 04:40:25,486 --> 04:40:26,187 exhausted in terms of cutting 7603 04:40:26,187 --> 04:40:27,788 people off for no apparent 7604 04:40:27,788 --> 04:40:29,788 value. 7605 04:40:34,295 --> 04:40:35,290 I to be very honest. 7606 04:40:35,290 --> 04:40:35,729 So I want people to support 7607 04:40:35,729 --> 04:40:36,363 the package with the findings 7608 04:40:36,363 --> 04:40:39,363 that support it included I 7609 04:40:40,133 --> 04:40:40,701 think the rest of it is very 7610 04:40:40,701 --> 04:40:41,502 good work for package. 7611 04:40:41,502 --> 04:40:45,702 I would want to begin to think 7612 04:40:46,373 --> 04:40:46,973 about what you're going to 7613 04:40:46,973 --> 04:40:47,642 throw in the package be. 7614 04:40:47,642 --> 04:40:48,309 And the other thing somebody 7615 04:40:48,309 --> 04:40:48,909 mentioned quite passionately 7616 04:40:48,909 --> 04:40:51,309 about the protection of 7617 04:40:52,178 --> 04:40:52,813 the coastal height limit want 7618 04:40:52,813 --> 04:40:53,447 to come see a five story 7619 04:40:53,447 --> 04:40:55,847 building in Pacific Beach? 7620 04:40:56,550 --> 04:40:57,251 You want to see a 23 story 7621 04:40:57,251 --> 04:40:59,651 application of Pacific Beach? 7622 04:41:01,822 --> 04:41:02,890 Yeah, that's my exactly a lot 7623 04:41:02,890 --> 04:41:07,695 of what we do is not what we do 7624 04:41:07,695 --> 04:41:08,630 It's what Sacramento tells us 7625 04:41:08,630 --> 04:41:08,763 to do. 7626 04:41:08,763 --> 04:41:12,363 It doesn't make me happy with 7627 04:41:13,768 --> 04:41:14,468 the councilmember who wants to 7628 04:41:14,468 --> 04:41:15,169 listen to the public and do 7629 04:41:15,169 --> 04:41:15,903 what I think are good things 7630 04:41:15,903 --> 04:41:18,303 but simply implementing convert 7631 04:41:19,607 --> 04:41:20,240 our municipal code into what 7632 04:41:20,240 --> 04:41:23,240 Sacramento tells us to do. 7633 04:41:26,246 --> 04:41:27,810 >> So with that I Oh okay. 7634 04:41:27,810 --> 04:41:27,982 Yeah I'm not ready to call yet 7635 04:41:27,982 --> 04:41:31,582 but thank you Charles But I 7636 04:41:32,419 --> 04:41:33,540 think that concludes my 7637 04:41:33,540 --> 04:41:33,721 comments Otherwise I think 7638 04:41:33,721 --> 04:41:34,455 staff for the good work and 7639 04:41:34,455 --> 04:41:35,890 thank all of you for coming out 7640 04:41:35,890 --> 04:41:38,890 and my go to Councilmember 7641 04:41:40,828 --> 04:41:41,462 Campbell Thank you so much for 7642 04:41:41,462 --> 04:41:44,462 letting me speak again I'm 7643 04:41:45,298 --> 04:41:45,766 sorry you're exhausted so far 7644 04:41:45,766 --> 04:41:46,834 so are we. 7645 04:41:46,834 --> 04:41:51,340 But I just wanted to say that 7646 04:41:51,272 --> 04:41:54,272 Obie has 2.4% properties of its 7647 04:41:57,110 --> 04:41:59,411 parcels whereas Sherman Heights 7648 04:42:01,449 --> 04:42:02,317 of 74% in the historic area and 7649 04:42:02,317 --> 04:42:02,616 South Park 73% in the historic 7650 04:42:02,616 --> 04:42:03,518 area. 7651 04:42:03,518 --> 04:42:07,718 So it gives you some idea of 7652 04:42:08,323 --> 04:42:09,230 the criteria by which a 7653 04:42:09,230 --> 04:42:12,230 historic district is is chosen 7654 04:42:12,994 --> 04:42:16,594 and is able to become one. 7655 04:42:17,599 --> 04:42:18,233 So I'm sorry about that But we 7656 04:42:18,233 --> 04:42:18,866 do have the 30 foot weight 7657 04:42:18,866 --> 04:42:19,367 limit and I'm fighting all 7658 04:42:19,367 --> 04:42:19,800 the time for that. 7659 04:42:19,800 --> 04:42:21,800 >> Thank you. 7660 04:42:23,438 --> 04:42:23,805 All right. 7661 04:42:23,805 --> 04:42:24,205 Thank you. 7662 04:42:24,205 --> 04:42:24,873 Yes, ma'am. 7663 04:42:24,873 --> 04:42:25,540 Campbell, you said it much 7664 04:42:25,540 --> 04:42:29,140 better than the point I was 7665 04:42:30,745 --> 04:42:31,112 trying to make Council council 7666 04:42:31,112 --> 04:42:31,746 PRESIDENT. 7667 04:42:31,746 --> 04:42:32,413 >> I can't think of 7668 04:42:32,413 --> 04:42:32,947 the PRESIDENT I won't repeat 7669 04:42:32,947 --> 04:42:35,116 all my comments from 7670 04:42:35,116 --> 04:42:35,884 the letters hearing. 7671 04:42:35,884 --> 04:42:36,584 But I think many of them 7672 04:42:36,584 --> 04:42:37,218 reflect a mix of what some of 7673 04:42:37,218 --> 04:42:39,618 my colleagues have already 7674 04:42:41,756 --> 04:42:42,456 shared, which is I think 7675 04:42:42,456 --> 04:42:43,158 the council PRESIDENT Self as 7676 04:42:43,158 --> 04:42:46,158 he noted this council already 7677 04:42:47,496 --> 04:42:48,960 is expected to have de novo 7678 04:42:48,960 --> 04:42:48,730 hearings on a variety of 7679 04:42:48,730 --> 04:42:51,730 subjects even if there was 7680 04:42:53,868 --> 04:42:54,603 another body determined. 7681 04:42:54,603 --> 04:42:55,303 And then I would note to 7682 04:42:55,303 --> 04:42:55,971 Councilmember Woodburn's point 7683 04:42:55,971 --> 04:42:58,840 many of the land use matters 7684 04:42:58,840 --> 04:42:59,574 for the city evolve to this 7685 04:42:59,574 --> 04:43:00,308 body as it currently stands and 7686 04:43:00,308 --> 04:43:04,508 I'm pretty sure this is a group 7687 04:43:04,979 --> 04:43:05,647 that would not appreciate it if 7688 04:43:05,647 --> 04:43:06,380 those decisions were simply 7689 04:43:06,380 --> 04:43:07,480 made by a body of experts which 7690 04:43:07,480 --> 04:43:09,448 are the Planning Commission 7691 04:43:10,752 --> 04:43:11,686 aside from city staff. 7692 04:43:11,686 --> 04:43:12,870 So it's again a bit of a double 7693 04:43:12,870 --> 04:43:12,687 edged sword. 7694 04:43:12,687 --> 04:43:15,687 So I appreciate the same 7695 04:43:16,358 --> 04:43:16,791 arguments that Council 7696 04:43:16,791 --> 04:43:17,492 PRESIDENT Had. 7697 04:43:17,492 --> 04:43:18,159 I just have the opposite view 7698 04:43:18,159 --> 04:43:18,960 of it which is that I don't 7699 04:43:18,960 --> 04:43:22,564 believe this is going to add a 7700 04:43:22,564 --> 04:43:23,265 significant number of 7701 04:43:23,265 --> 04:43:23,932 opportunities for this council 7702 04:43:23,932 --> 04:43:24,466 to to hear items that we're 7703 04:43:24,466 --> 04:43:26,866 actually going to be 7704 04:43:28,603 --> 04:43:29,404 overturning especially since 7705 04:43:29,404 --> 04:43:30,720 fees have been put in place to 7706 04:43:30,720 --> 04:43:32,472 deter frivolous appeals from 7707 04:43:34,609 --> 04:43:35,376 taking place. 7708 04:43:35,376 --> 04:43:39,576 And I fully support the idea of 7709 04:43:40,949 --> 04:43:41,650 some review in a year or so to 7710 04:43:41,650 --> 04:43:42,317 understand if this has changed 7711 04:43:42,317 --> 04:43:42,884 the number of appeals we get 7712 04:43:42,884 --> 04:43:45,284 and what happens with 7713 04:43:46,655 --> 04:43:47,356 the findings that supported 7714 04:43:47,356 --> 04:43:48,230 component being an option and 7715 04:43:48,230 --> 04:43:51,623 that'll give us a chance to 7716 04:43:54,630 --> 04:43:54,830 sort of move forward from there 7717 04:43:54,830 --> 04:43:55,464 And that's why I'm happy to 7718 04:43:55,464 --> 04:43:55,830 support the just granite. 7719 04:43:55,830 --> 04:43:56,198 Thank you. 7720 04:43:56,198 --> 04:43:56,565 All right. 7721 04:43:56,565 -->

04:55:19,719 --> 04:55:20,587 but that's not in front of us 8093 04:55:20,587 --> 04:55:24,787 today so I'll leave it at that. 8094 04:55:26,225 --> 04:55:26,893 The 92,000 reimbursing pretty I 8095 04:55:26,893 --> 04:55:29,893 understand that beauty is in 8096 04:55:30,330 --> 04:55:30,730 our bodies and so we have to be 8097 04:55:30,730 --> 04:55:31,364 made whole. 8098 04:55:31,364 --> 04:55:31,663 Where's the $92,000 coming 8099 04:55:31,663 --> 04:55:33,663 from? 8100 04:55:36,603 --> 04:55:37,303 It's coming from 8101 04:55:37,303 --> 04:55:39,303 the Transportation Department. 8102 04:55:41,941 --> 04:55:42,542 So 80,000 of that is from an 8103 04:55:42,542 --> 04:55:43,243 appraisal third party or 8104 04:55:43,243 --> 04:55:43,610 outside appraisal to encumber 8105 04:55:43,610 --> 04:55:44,277 the land. 8106 04:55:44,277 --> 04:55:47,877 And yes, it's the land, you 8107 04:55:47,981 --> 04:55:48,748 know, area above the riverbed. 8108 04:55:48,748 --> 04:55:51,748 The balance is reimbursement of 8109 04:55:53,787 --> 04:55:54,487 funds from transportation to 8110 04:55:54,487 --> 04:55:54,854 beauty for mitigation cost of 8111 04:55:54,854 --> 04:55:55,622 that land. 8112 04:55:55,622 --> 04:55:59,822 That was the work that was done 8113 04:56:00,694 --> 04:56:01,361 prior to this Right now why is 8114 04:56:01,361 --> 04:56:03,761 transportation doing that as 8115 04:56:05,398 --> 04:56:07,798 opposed to selling state? 8116 04:56:11,404 --> 04:56:12,390 Well, I guess what I one way to 8117 04:56:12,390 --> 04:56:12,739 answer is that the cost of 8118 04:56:12,739 --> 04:56:13,273 the bridge is over 50,000,053 8119 04:56:13,273 --> 04:56:15,673 million The city has 8120 04:56:17,611 --> 04:56:18,311 contributed a little over $8 8121 04:56:18,311 --> 04:56:19,120 million came from the proceeds 8122 04:56:19,120 --> 04:56:22,612 carve out from the proceeds of 8123 04:56:23,552 --> 04:56:27,152 the sale of the stadium site. 8124 04:56:27,954 --> 04:56:28,755 The balance then over close to 8125 04:56:28,755 --> 04:56:29,389 45 million is coming from sdsu 8126 04:56:29,389 --> 04:56:32,389 and the developers out of 8127 04:56:33,527 --> 04:56:33,859 impact fees for us dsu Mission 8128 04:56:33,859 --> 04:56:35,859 Valley. 8129 04:56:37,864 --> 04:56:38,565 So this particular 93,000 8130 04:56:38,565 --> 04:56:39,299 ultimately the Transportation 8131 04:56:39,299 --> 04:56:42,299 Department will be the managing 8132 04:56:44,838 --> 04:56:45,539 department for the asset. 8133 04:56:45,539 --> 04:56:47,939 >> They're making the payment 8134 04:56:49,176 --> 04:56:49,877 for that these days 93,000 is a 8135 04:56:49,877 --> 04:56:53,477 lot of money So maybe at 8136 04:56:55,149 -->

8563 05:10:14,687 --> 05:10:17,687 JULY 28th 2025 I noted was 8564 05:10:20,590 --> 05:10:20,659 disclosure practice working 8565 05:10:20,659 --> 05:10:22,659 group disclosure control 8566 05:10:25,764 --> 05:10:26,632 procedures on over 12 articles 8567 05:10:26,632 --> 05:10:30,232 on that To me that included 8568 05:10:32,271 --> 05:10:32,972 policy newly issued me of 8569

environmental impact to 8576 05:10:50,823 --> 05:10:51,290 this activity is not subject to 8577 05:10:51,290 --> 05:10:53,290 sequel silence. 8578 05:10:55,627 --> 05:10:56,228 So this is from the question 8579 05:10:56,228 --> 05:10:58,628 this activity related to 8580 05:11:01,400 --> 05:11:02,101 the pure water ip projects I 8581 05:11:02,101 --> 05:11:05,101 support your wide decision on 8582 05:11:07,206 --> 05:11:07,840 water revenue bonds and its 8583 05:11:07,840 --> 05:11:08,641 impact on our water reach. 8584 05:11:08,641 --> 05:11:12,241 Thank you so much for listening 8585 05:11:13,345 --> 05:11:13,913 with me and thank you for 8586 05:11:13,913 --> 05:11:15,913 answering my question. 8587 05:11:18,851 --> 05:11:19,252 I hope it was appropriate. 8588 05:11:19,252 --> 05:11:20,860 Thank you. 8589 05:11:20,860 --> 05:11:23,686 Next is the original course It 8590 05:11:25,658 --> 05:11:26,392 was because we get four minutes 8591 05:11:26,392 --> 05:11:26,993 That's why she was trying to be 8592 05:11:26,993 --> 05:11:27,360 hesitant to answer that 8593 05:11:27,360 --> 05:11:29,360 question. 8594 05:11:30,563 --> 05:11:31,430 Enjoy. 8595 05:11:31,430 --> 05:11:31,831 You got to pay attention to 8596 05:11:31,831 --> 05:11:32,565 the people. 8597 05:11:32,565 --> 05:11:33,265 They do things in order to make 8598 05:11:33,265 --> 05:11:36,503 you think you don't know what 8599 05:11:36,503 --> 05:11:37,336 you're talking about. 8600 05:11:37,336 --> 05:11:37,937 So yeah, it's interesting when 8601 05:11:37,937 --> 05:11:40,337 we're talking about debt 8602 05:11:43,643 --> 05:11:44,309 because you guys only put us in 8603 05:11:44,309 --> 05:11:47,909 debt and you act like we're 8604 05:11:48,648 --> 05:11:49,315 doing this even though 8605 05:11:49,315 --> 05:11:50,160 the people from their their 8606 05:11:50,160 --> 05:11:53,160 utility bills are paying this 8607 05:11:55,321 --> 05:11:55,955 back right into paying off 8608 05:11:55,955 --> 05:11:59,555 the globe and then you say 8609 05:12:01,361 --> 05:12:02,610 you're not going to raise 8610 05:12:02,610 --> 05:12:02,729 the rates even though you guys 8611 05:12:02,729 --> 05:12:05,129 continually raise the rates. 8612 05:12:07,000 --> 05:12:07,733 So pretty much anything and 8613 05:12:07,733 --> 05:12:08,434 everything you could I mean you 8614 05:12:08,434 --> 05:12:09,680 guys would taxes on everything 8615 05:12:09,680 --> 05:12:11,680 eventually that's probably 8616 05:12:14,207 --> 05:12:14,874 going to come But you know just 8617 05:12:14,874 --> 05:12:15,842 interesting to look like you 8618 05:12:15,842 --> 05:12:19,145 want to spin it in a way that 8619 05:12:19,145 --> 05:12:19,846 there's going to be some kind 8620 05:12:19,846 --> 05:12:20,513 of debt savings and that it's 8621 05:12:20,513 --> 05:12:22,913 somehow beneficial And then 8622 05:12:24,784 --> 05:12:25,518 when Joyce talking about 8623 05:12:25,518 --> 05:12:26,186 the pure water stuff, it's like 8624 05:12:26,186 --> 05:12:29,186 how many billions of dollars 8625 05:12:30,957 --> 05:12:31,725 are we going to spend on that? 8626 05:12:31,725 --> 05:12:32,460 You know, just curious to know 8627 05:12:32,460 --> 05:12:36,600 like where is this really going 8628 05:12:36,429 --> 05:12:36,863 when you guys are talking about 8629 05:12:36,863 --> 05:12:37,397 buying water? 8630 05:12:37,397 --> 05:12:38,431 We got to buy it. 8631 05:12:38,431 --> 05:12:42,631 Go buy it how to transfer and 8632 05:12:42,702 --> 05:12:43,303 then when we transfer it we 8633 05:12:43,303 --> 05:12:45,303 lose about 50 to 75%. 8634 05:12:48,541 --> 05:12:49,342 Doesn't really matter Like 8635 05:12:49,342 --> 05:12:50,430 we'll just buy some more but 8636 05:12:50,430 --> 05:12:50,509 then we'll also divert it out 8637 05:12:50,509 --> 05:12:50,810 into the ocean. 8638 05:12:50,810 --> 05:12:52,810 Right? 8639 05:12:54,800 --> 05:12:54,781 Because that's sustainable And 8640 05:12:54,781 --> 05:12:58,381 then we'll also make sure that 8641 05:13:00,420 --> 05:13:01,121 there is a fresh water or a 8642 05:13:01,121 --> 05:13:01,755 lithium mining along with air 8643 05:13:01,755 --> 05:13:03,755 datacentres because these 8644 05:13:06,226 --> 05:13:06,793 things are crucial to our 8645 05:13:06,793 --> 05:13:07,461 sustainability right? 8646 05:13:07,461 --> 05:13:11,610 And then it's like you know 8647 05:13:12,132 --> 05:13:12,932 when it comes to the people 8648 05:13:12,932 --> 05:13:13,334 what we're going to give you is 8649 05:13:13,334 --> 05:13:14,201 doing water. 8650 05:13:14,201 --> 05:13:17,801 And so I'm just wondering if 8651 05:13:18,171 --> 05:13:18,839 we're funding you know, like 8652 05:13:18,839 --> 05:13:19,639 what's this one thing really 8653 05:13:19,639 --> 05:13:23,239 Because I mean we could drill 8654 05:13:24,644 --> 05:13:25,312 for water. 8655 05:13:25,312 --> 05:13:28,815 People like to see the water 8656 05:13:28,815 --> 05:13:29,583 tables too low But come on, you 8657 05:13:29,583 --> 05:13:30,250 know it's one not when you guys 8658 05:13:30,250 --> 05:13:33,250 are wasting water like them. 8659 05:13:34,221 --> 05:13:34,922 That's the thing if you like 8660 05:13:34,922 --> 05:13:35,555 really were if we were really 8661 05:13:35,555 --> 05:13:38,555 having, you know, in dire 8662 05:13:40,560 --> 05:13:41,261 straits where we're like we 8663 05:13:41,261 --> 05:13:41,995 really have to get people back 8664 05:13:41,995 --> 05:13:42,696 to our own sewer Jamaicans make 8665 05:13:42,696 --> 05:13:46,200 them think it's good you know, 8666 05:13:46,200 --> 05:13:46,934 we're going to put all these 8667 05:13:46,934 --> 05:13:47,667 toxic chemicals in there and be 8668 05:13:47,667 --> 05:13:48,101 like We're not putting too much 8669 05:13:48,101 --> 05:13:48,735 lye in there. 8670 05:13:48,735 --> 05:13:51,104 I mean that does dissolve 8671 05:13:51,104 --> 05:13:51,572 bodies but it's not going to 8672 05:13:51,572 --> 05:13:53,572 dissolve yours. 8673 05:13:57,344 --> 05:13:58,178 Don't worry about it. 8674 05:13:58,178 --> 05:13:58,879 You know, don't you think that 8675 05:13:58,879 --> 05:14:01,879 you wouldn't waste water like 8676 05:14:02,749 --> 05:14:03,450 that like you know, sending it 8677 05:14:03,450 --> 05:14:04,118 from one place to another and 8678 05:14:04,118 --> 05:14:04,885 you know, purchasing it all 8679 05:14:04,885 --> 05:14:08,485 while you like release it into 8680 05:14:08,756 --> 05:14:09,623 the ocean? 8681 05:14:09,623 --> 05:14:10,257 I mean it's weird that you guys 8682 05:14:10,257 --> 05:14:10,990 want to highlight certain 8683 05:14:10,990 --> 05:14:14,590 things but like the things that 8684
