00:13:02,191 expressing their ideas and 436 00:13:02,191 --> 00:13:02,892 opinions. 437 00:13:02,892 --> 00:13:05,995 So to make sure that everyone 438 00:13:05,995 --> 00:13:06,695 here has the opportunity to 439 00:13:06,695 --> 00:13:07,429 address the Council Iowa alert 440 00:13:07,429 --> 00:13:10,429 an individual or individuals if 441 00:13:11,330 --> 00:13:11,701 I think their conduct becomes 442 00:13:11,701 --> 00:13:12,267 disruptive If the disruption 443 00:13:12,267 --> 00:13:13,200 continues I will roll 444 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,272 the individual out of order And 445 00:13:16,272 --> 00:13:17,600 if the disruption continues 446 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:17,606 further I will declare a recess 447 00:13:17,606 --> 00:13:20,476 so we can restore order. 448 00:13:20,476 --> 00:13:21,760 At that point I will direct 449 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:21,510 the individual to leave 450 00:13:21,510 --> 00:13:22,178 the chambers. 451 00:13:22,178 --> 00:13:25,178 If

00:13:27,483 --> 00:13:30,586 We have to repeat this process 456 00:13:30,586 --> 00:13:31,221 of warning and recess in 457 00:13:31,221 --> 00:13:31,955 the meeting all members of 458 00:13:31,955 --> 00:13:32,321 the public will be excused from 459 00:13:32,321 --> 00:13:32,989 chambers. 460 00:13:32,989 --> 00:13:34,924 Credentialed media would be 461 00:13:34,924 --> 00:13:35,525 allowed to remain once again We 462 00:13:35,525 --> 00:13:36,920 have these practices and 463 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:36,792 procedures to protect 464 00:13:36,792 --> 00:13:40,960 the rights of others who wish 465 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:40,763 to address the Council and to 466 00:13:40,763 --> 00:13:41,497 allow the Council to conduct 467 00:13:41,497 --> 00:13:45,970 the public's business so not so 468 00:13:45,535 --> 00:13:46,235 much on the first item but on 469 00:13:46,235 --> 00:13:46,969 the next item that most of you 470 00:13:46,969 --> 00:13:49,639 if not all of you are here for. 471 00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:49,939 You're going to hear things you 472 00:13:49,939 --> 00:13:50,673 like. 473 00:13:50,673 --> 00:13:51,407 You're going to hear things you 474 00:13:51,407 --> 00:13:54,310 don't like or don't don't agree 475 00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:54,944 with the most effective way to 476 00:13:54,944 --> 00:13:55,645 communicate to us here at 477 00:13:55,645 --> 00:13:58,450 the council without disrupting 478 00:13:59,182 --> 00:13:59,882 the meeting is if you see or 479 00:13:59,882 --> 00:14:00,416 hear something you like thumbs 480 00:14:00,416 --> 00:14:02,816 up, wave your hands. 481 00:14:03,553 --> 00:14:04,420 It's a very powerful signal. 482 00:14:04,420 --> 00:14:05,120 We see it very obvious If you 483 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,120 hear something you don't like 484 00:14:08,424 --> 00:14:09,125 thumbs down is probably 485 00:14:09,125 --> 00:14:09,859 the easiest way to communicate 486 00:14:09,859 --> 00:14:13,495 that with us and that way we'll 487 00:14:13,495 --> 00:14:14,196 be able to run the meeting 488 00:14:14,196 --> 00:14:14,863 especially when we start with 489 00:14:14,863 --> 00:14:17,263 the public comment

00:37:05,774 You guys like to call it Tent 1252 00:37:05,774 --> 00:37:08,774 City and you've, you know, 1253 00:37:09,610 --> 00:37:10,243 contracted with NGOs downtown 1254 00:37:10,243 --> 00:37:10,877 Partnership and Dreams for 1255 00:37:10,877 --> 00:37:13,877 Change And you know, they 1256 00:37:14,948 --> 00:37:15,616 probably are ones that you 1257 00:37:15,616 --> 00:37:16,500

is not 1261 00:37:21,210 --> 00:37:24,621 really up to their contract and 1262 00:37:24,959 --> 00:37:25,659 that people are dying and 1263 00:37:25,659 --> 00:37:26,427 people are being raped Right. 1264 00:37:26,427 --> 00:37:28,963 By the employees, I mean but 1265 00:37:28,963 --> 00:37:29,663 that's okay. 1266 00:37:29,663 --> 00:37:30,364 >> I'm just wondering if 1267 00:37:30,364 --> 00:37:33,867 the maintenance is going to go 1268 00:37:33,867 --> 00:37:34,568 into those areas of the park 1269 00:37:34,568 --> 00:37:35,169 like the code enforcement that 1270 00:37:35,169 --> 00:37:38,169 needs to take place with 1271 00:37:39,273 --> 00:37:39,740 the electrical outlets that are 1272 00:37:39,740 --> 00:37:40,474 right by water. 1273 00:37:40,474 --> 00:37:41,142 So it's a

1277 00:37:46,460 --> 00:37:49,216 kill the homeless then you guys 1278 00:37:49,216 --> 00:37:49,949 are doing a good job. 1279 00:37:49,949 --> 00:37:50,484 There's also food poisoning 1280

01:36:58,410 --> 01:36:59,178 threat of wildfire of wildfire 3352 01:36:59,178 --> 01:36:59,979 that we all know is part of 3353 01:36:59,979 --> 01:37:02,515 the price of living in Southern 3354 01:37:02,515 --> 01:37:03,382 California. 3355 01:37:03,382 --> 01:37:04,160 Now I know there are some there 3356 01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:07,160 are some issues raised by 3357 01:37:07,186 --> 01:37:07,887 the State Department of Housing 3358 01:37:07,887 --> 01:37:08,487 and Community Development and 3359 01:37:08,487 --> 01:37:10,487 they've been addressed. 3360 01:37:12,992 --> 01:37:17,192 Maybe but this is one item that 3361 01:37:17,696 --> 01:37:18,397 wasn't flagged by them and it 3362 01:37:18,397 --> 01:37:20,797 should pass today regardless. 3363 01:37:22,835 --> 01:37:25,835 >> But in addition, before this 3364 01:37:27,739 --> 01:37:28,474 gets passed, I think you have 3365 01:37:28,474 --> 01:37:32,740 the opportunity to make it very 3366 01:37:32,578 --> 01:37:33,245 clear that it needs to apply to 3367 01:37:33,245 --> 01:37:35,645 projects that are currently 3368 01:37:36,681 --> 01:37:37,350 pending and projects that have 3369 01:37:37,350 --> 01:37:37,983 applications that have gone 3370 01:37:37,983 --> 01:37:38,417 through and not even been 3371 01:37:38,417 --> 01:37:40,417 approved yet. 3372 01:37:42,221 --> 01:37:42,921 The mere fact that a project 3373 01:37:42,921 --> 01:37:43,589 permit was filed before these 3374 01:37:43,589 --> 01:37:46,589 amendments passed if they do 3375 01:37:47,930 --> 01:37:47,793 pass or the fact that 3376 01:37:47,793 --> 01:37:50,193 construction started does not 3377 01:37:51,864 --> 01:37:52,832 make it any less dangerous and 3378 01:37:52,832 --> 01:37:57,320 does not take care of any of 3379 01:37:57,270 --> 01:37:57,970 the issues that made this 3380 01:37:57,970 --> 01:37:58,271 amendment come to in the first 3381 01:37:58,271 --> 01:38:00,271 place. 3382 01:38:01,373 --> 01:38:02,141 What's more, California is 3383 01:38:02,141 --> 01:38:05,141 explicit in that you are 3384 01:38:06,512 --> 01:38:07,780 allowed to enforce code changes 3385 01:38:07,780 --> 01:38:09,780 after applications are 3386 01:38:11,500 --> 01:38:11,417 submitted to currently ongoing 3387 01:38:11,417 --> 01:38:13,417 projects. 3388 01:38:15,688 --> 01:38:16,389 Section 65589.5 Subsection 2ob 3389 01:38:16,389 --> 01:38:18,789 of the California Government 3390 01:38:20,526 --> 01:38:21,159 Code allows housing development 3391 01:38:21,159 --> 01:38:24,159 projects to be subject to 3392 01:38:25,397 --> 01:38:26,198 ordinances, policies, standards 3393 01:38:26,198 --> 01:38:26,832 or any other measures that went 3394 01:38:26,832 --> 01:38:29,832 into effect after a permit 3395 01:38:30,637 --> 01:38:31,337 application was filed. 3396 01:38:31,337 --> 01:38:32,104 If the record establishes that 3397 01:38:32,104 --> 01:38:35,704 doing so is necessary to avoid 3398 01:38:35,875 --> 01:38:36,742 specific adverse impacts on 3399 01:38:36,742 --> 01:38:39,979 health or safety and there is 3400 01:38:39,979 --> 01:38:40,580 no alternative feasible method 3401 01:38:40,580 --> 01:38:42,980 to mitigate or avoid 3402 01:38:44,817 --> 01:38:45,651 the adverse impact. 3403 01:38:45,651 --> 01:38:46,652 This is clearly the case here. 3404 01:38:46,652 --> 01:38:50,322 There is no way to create a 3405 01:38:50,322 --> 01:38:50,723 secondary evacuation route on a 3406 01:38:50,723 --> 01:38:52,723 cul de sac. 3407 01:38:54,394 --> 01:38:55,128 Now I was a kid living in San 3408 01:38:55,128 --> 01:38:55,795 Diego during the Cedar Fire but 3409 01:38:55,795 --> 01:38:58,795 I still remember the horrors 3410 01:38:58,997 --> 01:38:59,732 that we faced in watching 3411 01:38:59,732 --> 01:39:00,166 the fires get closer and closer 3412 01:39:00,166 --> 01:39:02,166 to our houses. 3413 01:39:04,237 --> 01:39:05,400 And recently the Palisades and 3414 01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:08,308 fires in Los Angeles remind us 3415 01:39:08,308 --> 01:39:09,750 all that it's not a matter of 3416 01:39:09,750 --> 01:39:12,675 if the next tragedy will happen 3417 01:39:13,446 --> 01:39:14,113 but when and the council 3418 01:39:14,113 --> 01:39:14,847 chooses not to act now. 3419 01:39:14,847 --> 01:39:17,847 You are consciously choosing to 3420 01:39:18,585 --> 01:39:19,285 put lives at risk. 3421 01:39:19,285 --> 01:39:19,585 We could have done something 3422 01:39:19,585 --> 01:39:21,585 today. 3423 01:39:24,190 --> 01:39:24,857 In fact, those of you that have 3424 01:39:24,857 --> 01:39:25,558 the Watch Duty app we've all 3425 01:39:25,558 --> 01:39:26,259 been getting notifications of 3426 01:39:26,259 --> 01:39:26,526 our fire that's ongoing right 3427 01:39:26,526 --> 01:39:28,526 now. 3428 01:39:28,995 --> 01:39:29,595 Hopefully it's not the next big 3429 01:39:29,595 --> 01:39:32,595 one but it could be. 3430 01:39:33,660 --> 01:39:33,700 So don't let the next fire 3431 01:39:33,700 --> 01:39:34,670 prove what could have been 3432 01:39:34,670 --> 01:39:36,670 prevented. 3433 01:39:37,370 --> 01:39:38,710 Amend item 15 to make sure that 3434 01:39:38,710 --> 01:39:40,471 applies to current ongoing 3435 01:39:42,408 --> 01:39:43,760 projects and go past today. 3436 01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:43,442 >> Thank you very much. 3437 01:39:43,442 --> 01:39:44,310 Thank you. 3438 01:39:44,310 --> 01:39:47,547 If we can have the following 3439 01:39:47,547 --> 01:39:48,810 individuals well Chris Jackson 3440 01:39:48,810 -->

to limit to be 3461 01:40:20,113 --> 01:40:20,813 able to help individuals that 3462 01:40:20,813 --> 01:40:21,481 live in communities, stay in a 3463 01:40:21,481 --> 01:40:23,881 community, feel as developer 3464 01:40:24,417 --> 01:40:25,284 and multifamily lots. 3465 01:40:25,284 --> 01:40:26,860 That is the area that we have 3466 01:40:26,860 --> 01:40:29,489 and need to be able to develop 3467 01:40:29,489 --> 01:40:30,560 and help further need 3468 01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:30,623 the housing shortage. 3469 01:40:30,623 --> 01:40:31,257 Currently about 73% of 3470 01:40:31,257 --> 01:40:33,657 the nation in multifamily 3471 01:40:34,927 --> 01:40:35,628 housing developments has shrunk 3472 01:40:35,628 --> 01:40:36,363 in comparison to 2023 figures 3473 01:40:36,363 --> 01:40:39,363 simply because the numbers just 3474 01:40:39,799 --> 01:40:40,667 don't make sense anymore. 3475 01:40:40,667 --> 01:40:41,340 So there's got to be some kind 3476 01:40:41,340 -->

4804 02:21:02,663 --> 02:21:06,263 It feels like we're now losing 4805 02:21:06,501 --> 02:21:07,234 that urgency. 4806 02:21:07,234 --> 02:21:10,234 Reforms to this program started 4807 02:21:10,504 --> 02:21:11,239 as a way to deal with outliers 4808 02:21:11,239 --> 02:21:11,973 who are proposing projects that 4809 02:21:11,973 --> 02:21:14,973 were significantly out of scale 4810 02:21:15,843 --> 02:21:16,610 with surrounding communities. 4811 02:21:16,610 --> 02:21:19,380 I agree with these goals but 4812 02:21:19,380 --> 02:21:20,247 now we're talking today about 4813 02:21:20,247 --> 02:21:23,247 the evisceration of an award 4814 02:21:25,850 --> 02:21:25,753 winning program. 4815 02:21:25,753 --> 02:21:26,621 To be to be clear. 4816 02:21:26,621 --> 02:21:30,221 My company has never built a 4817 02:21:30,324 --> 02:21:32,724 project larger than 12 units. 4818 02:21:33,962 --> 02:21:34,562 Our projects range in size from 4819 02:21:34,562 --> 02:21:35,329 6 to 12 units. 4820 02:21:35,329 --> 02:21:36,970 And that's because we found a 4821 02:21:36,970 --> 02:21:39,697 niche that serves a dire need 4822 02:21:39,800 --> 02:21:40,501 for workforce housing. 4823 02:21:40,501 --> 02:21:43,501 Your dealership a unit without 4824 02:21:43,604 --> 02:21:44,339 any public subsidy. 4825 02:21:44,339 --> 02:21:45,600 I've heard it several times in 4826 02:21:45,600 --> 02:21:48,600 other hearings and I'm sure 4827 02:21:48,643 --> 02:21:49,770 we'll hear it today that these 4828 02:21:49,770 --> 02:21:49,643 aren't homes. 4829 02:21:49,643 --> 02:21:50,110 I take issue with that 4830 02:21:50,110 --> 02:21:52,110 statement. 4831 02:21:53,460 --> 02:21:53,414 I think it's ridiculous and 4832 02:21:53,414 --> 02:21:54,148 demeaning. 4833 02:21:54,148 --> 02:21:57,148 This program has provided homes 4834 02:21:58,860 --> 02:21:58,753 for military families, for 4835 02:21:58,753 --> 02:21:59,487 teachers, for single parents 4836 02:21:59,487 -->

and it creates a single set of 5150 02:31:25,888 --> 02:31:28,888 regulations as the state allows 5151 02:31:29,725 --> 02:31:30,393 property lines abutting non 5152 02:31:30,393 --> 02:31:32,393

which 5175 02:32:17,273 --> 02:32:18,410 would be an increase of 300% 5176 02:32:18,410 --> 02:32:21,410 and the existing density on 5177 02:32:22,579 --> 02:32:25,579 these roads fire safety and 5178

us before today's 6397 03:12:53,318 --> 03:12:53,985 meeting. 6398 03:12:53,985 --> 03:12:54,619 We always appreciate that if 6399 03:12:54,619 --> 03:12:57,120 you go to the first slide. 6400 03:12:57,120 --> 03:12:57,755 And first of all, I think one 6401 03:12:57,755 --> 03:12:58,389 of the things to recognize 6402 03:12:58,389 --> 03:13:01,389 what's coming out of this 6403 03:13:02,360 --> 03:13:03,161 package is we focused on 6404 03:13:03,161 --> 03:13:03,894 the bonus edu part of it But 6405 03:13:03,894 --> 03:13:06,894 there's actually things in here 6406 03:13:07,650 --> 03:13:07,832 that even when there are non 6407 03:13:07,832 --> 03:13:11,432 bonus projects that are in very 6408 03:13:12,269 --> 03:13:13,137 definite benefits to developers 6409 03:13:13,137 --> 03:13:17,337 and the first is that prior to 6410 03:13:19,100 --> 03:13:19,878 today you only were allowed to 6411 03:13:19,878 --> 03:13:21,578 house an area and a j you 6412 03:13:21,578 --> 03:13:22,247 according to San Diego's code 6413 03:13:22,247 --> 03:13:25,247 we've added the allowance to 6414 03:13:25,783 --> 03:13:28,783 add a second 80 to you. 6415 03:13:29,654 --> 03:13:34,454 And as it turns out this was an 6416 03:13:34,458 --> 03:13:35,260 administrative decision by hpd 6417 03:13:35,260 --> 03:13:37,260 Housing and Community 6418 03:13:39,397 --> 03:13:40,131 Development and we're now sort 6419 03:13:40,131 --> 03:13:41,166 of memorializing that into law. 6420 03:13:41,166 --> 03:13:45,203 I think just to put that in 6421 03:13:45,203 --> 03:13:46,710 perspective. 6422 03:13:46,710 --> 03:13:46,804 So we talk about single family 6423 03:13:46,804 --> 03:13:49,804 zoning but single family zoning 6424 03:13:50,740 --> 03:13:50,508 is for units on any single 6425 03:13:50,508 --> 03:13:52,508 family parcel. 6426 03:13:54,813 --> 03:13:55,579 If you look at what the actual 6427 03:13:55,579 --> 03:13:58,579 property sizes are, you know 6428 03:13:59,651 --> 03:14:00,184 that's equivalent to our m to 6429 03:14:00,184 --> 03:14:00,652 six on smaller lots. 6430 03:14:00,652 --> 03:14:02,652 That's our m37. 6431 03:14:03,755 --> 03:14:04,455 So this idea that we're just 6432 03:14:04,455 --> 03:14:05,900 talking about single families 6433 03:14:05,900 --> 03:14:08,900 owns down you know, forbid 6434 03:14:08,425 --> 03:14:09,127 housing or something like that 6435 03:14:09,127 --> 03:14:09,694 just obviously is contradicted 6436 03:14:09,694 --> 03:14:11,694 by the circumstances. 6437 03:14:13,798 --> 03:14:14,666 The other way to look at this 6438 03:14:14,666 --> 03:14:18,266 is three units on every single 6439 03:14:18,636 --> 03:14:19,300 family parcel without 6440 03:14:19,300 --> 03:14:19,704 the bonus. 6441 03:14:19,704 --> 03:14:22,730 This is anywhere in San Diego. 6442 03:14:22,730 --> 03:14:24,473 We have over 200,000 single 6443 03:14:25,777 --> 03:14:26,377 family homes at 600,000 units 6444 03:14:26,377 --> 03:14:28,777 that are basically being 6445 03:14:30,981 --> 03:14:31,716 allowed in zone four through 6446 03:14:31,716 --> 03:14:34,716 our regulations And that's even 6447 03:14:36,870 --> 03:14:36,721 with our recent community plan 6448 03:14:36,721 --> 03:14:37,589 updates that twice as many 6449 03:14:37,589 --> 03:14:41,189 units as we have on our 6450 03:14:43,127 --> 03:14:43,728 adequate sites inventory and 6451 03:14:43,728 --> 03:14:44,495 that's three time in our 6452 03:14:44,495 --> 03:14:46,431 adequate sites in average out 6453 03:14:46,431 --> 03:14:47,198 on the 100,000 units. 6454 03:14:47,198 --> 03:14:50,198 So we're we're we're worrying 6455 03:14:51,636 --> 03:14:52,270 about creating the program that 6456 03:14:52,270 --> 03:14:54,670 already without the bonus 6457 03:14:55,340 --> 03:14:56,410 program is going creating 6458 03:14:56,410 --> 03:14:59,410 thousands of units per year. 6459 03:15:00,812 --> 03:15:01,613 And we can we can curtail this 6460 03:15:01,613 --> 03:15:05,650 program and put it in a place 6461 03:15:05,650 --> 03:15:06,518 where it makes more sense. 6462 03:15:06,518 --> 03:15:10,118 The only other thing I'll point 6463 03:15:10,221 --> 03:15:10,889 out is four units is also 6464 03:15:10,889 --> 03:15:13,889 the cutoff from the Federal 6465 03:15:15,193 --> 03:15:15,827 Housing and Urban Development 6466 03:15:15,827 --> 03:15:16,394 as a definition of single 6467 03:15:16,394 --> 03:15:18,794 family zoning as well. 6468 03:15:19,431 --> 03:15:20,980 Once you get above four units 6469 03:15:20,980 --> 03:15:22,498 you're really talking about 6470 03:15:24,101 --> 03:15:24,903 multifamily regulations that 6471 03:15:24,903 --> 03:15:28,503 kick in and that was something 6472 03:15:29,407 --> 03:15:30,108 that wasn't considered when 6473 03:15:30,108 --> 03:15:30,809 the Bonus to you program was 6474 03:15:30,809 --> 03:15:31,476 put in place and still hasn't 6475 03:15:31,476 --> 03:15:33,876 been fully absorbed in 6476 03:15:34,545 --> 03:15:35,280 the regulations today. 6477 03:15:35,280 --> 03:15:36,810 The other thing I'll just point 6478 03:15:36,810 --> 03:15:39,217 out is you know we've even 6479 03:15:39,217 --> 03:15:39,951 added this benefit to have for 6480 03:15:39,951 --> 03:15:40,352 sale to use and we'll see how 6481 03:15:40,352 --> 03:15:42,352 that works. 6482 03:15:43,955 --> 03:15:44,356 It's basically a new 6483 03:15:44,356 --> 03:15:45,220 complexity. 6484 03:15:45,220 --> 03:15:45,357 It's five pages in the code 6485 03:15:45,357 --> 03:15:47,357 update. 6486 03:15:49,194 --> 03:15:49,895 It's outside of my skill set 6487 03:15:49,895 --> 03:15:50,661 but I know this is something 6488 03:15:50,661 --> 03:15:53,661 that people will probably take 6489 03:15:54,533 --> 03:15:55,233 advantage of and it addresses 6490 03:15:55,233 --> 03:15:55,867 some concerns in a completely 6491 03:15:55,867 --> 03:15:56,168 different way as I'll note 6492 03:15:56,168 --> 03:15:58,168 later. 6493 03:15:59,710 --> 03:15:59,904 So next slide. 6494 03:15:59,904 --> 03:16:02,904 So what we're recommending is 6495 03:16:04,342 --> 03:16:07,342 staying within that concept of 6496 03:16:08,146 --> 03:16:08,747 four units on any parcel that 6497 03:16:08,747 --> 03:16:09,281 instead of having this 6498 03:16:09,281 --> 03:16:09,948 distinction based on 6499 03:16:09,948 --> 03:16:11,948 the sustainable development 6500 03:16:13,985 --> 03:16:14,686 area if you look at our 6501 03:16:14,686 --> 03:16:17,860 regulations today outside this 6502 03:16:18,457 --> 03:16:19,157 this animal development area 6503 03:16:19,157 --> 03:16:19,857 you're allowed four units And 6504 03:16:19,857 --> 03:16:22,857 basically what we're saying is 6505 03:16:23,428 --> 03:16:24,620 make those regulations 6506 03:16:24,620 --> 03:16:26,462 consistent across the city 6507 03:16:27,899 --> 03:16:28,867 where this would be different 6508 03:16:28,867 --> 03:16:33,304 is in addition to if you go to 6509 03:16:33,304 --> 03:16:36,904 the next slide in addition to 6510 03:16:37,876 --> 03:16:38,643 the constraints that the state 6511 03:16:38,643 --> 03:16:39,411 would put on it, we're saying 6512 03:16:39,411 --> 03:16:42,411 you're allowed a more flexible 6513 03:16:42,447 --> 03:16:43,810 combination of those three 6514 03:16:43,810 --> 03:16:45,810 additional accessory units 6515 03:16:47,753 --> 03:16:48,553 including having one bonus adu 6516 03:16:48,553 --> 03:16:51,553 which could either be deeded 6517 03:16:52,891 --> 03:16:53,959 restricted at 110% moderate as 6518 03:16:53,959 --> 03:16:58,960 it is today and or it could be 6519 03:16:58,960 --> 03:16:58,597 an ada compliant adu and 6520 03:16:58,597 --> 03:17:00,597 accessible to you. 6521 03:17:02,467 --> 03:17:03,235 One of the things that needs 6522 03:17:03,235 --> 03:17:06,235 letter pointed out is that 6523 03:17:06,839 --> 03:17:07,639 the accessibility requirement 6524 03:17:07,639 --> 03:17:08,373 for ada use doesn't kick in 6525 03:17:08,373 --> 03:17:12,377 until you get to the third pair 6526 03:17:12,377 --> 03:17:13,278 of ada Use under our current 6527 03:17:13,278 --> 03:17:17,683 law and this would be a way to 6528 03:17:17,683 --> 03:17:18,283 bring that allowance forward in 6529 03:17:18,283 --> 03:17:18,917 that would address a key 6530 03:17:18,917 --> 03:17:21,553 concern that was in the ac 6531 03:17:21,553 --> 03:17:21,953 letter that was sent to you on 6532 03:17:21,953 --> 03:17:23,953 the weekend. 6533 03:17:26,492 --> 03:17:27,359 If you go to the next slide. 6534 03:17:27,359 --> 03:17:31,559 >> So one of the things that we 6535 03:17:31,697 --> 03:17:32,331 look for in code is how can we 6536 03:17:32,331 --> 03:17:32,630 make development simpler? 6537 03:17:32,630 --> 03:17:34,630 Right? 6538 03:17:36,435 --> 03:17:37,136 And as we've added in fire 6539 03:17:37,136 --> 03:17:39,136 requirements excluding certain 6540 03:17:41,640 --> 03:17:42,307 zones you know, California tax 6541 03:17:42,307 --> 03:17:44,307 credit allocation Committee 6542 03:17:45,944 --> 03:17:46,645 sustainable development areas 6543 03:17:46,645 --> 03:17:48,645 and environmentally sensitive 6544 03:17:51,830 --> 03:17:51,850 lands we've ended up with and 6545 03:17:51,850 --> 03:17:52,551 this is taking the current 6546 03:17:52,551 --> 03:17:54,951 regulation proposal that's in 6547 03:17:56,421 --> 03:17:57,890 front of you today. 6548 03:17:57,890 --> 03:18:00,890 We translated that into a 6549 03:18:01,627 --> 03:18:02,328 flowchart that frankly dsd will 6550 03:18:02,328 --> 03:18:03,194 probably end up using to try 6551 03:18:03,194 --> 03:18:06,699 and figure out what to do with 6552 03:18:06,699 --> 03:18:07,699 these regulations. 6553 03:18:07,699 --> 03:18:08,435 And we just look at this and we 6554 03:18:08,435 --> 03:18:10,936 say this is way too complicated 6555 03:18:10,936 --> 03:18:11,670 If you take what we're talking 6556 03:18:11,670 --> 03:18:15,270 about, what we're saying is for 6557 03:18:15,608 --> 03:18:16,341 units under more flexible 6558 03:18:16,341 --> 03:18:18,741 conditions, apply it everywhere 6559 03:18:19,978 --> 03:18:20,846 and you get a much simpler 6560 03:18:20,846 --> 03:18:25,170 allowance for us to use in San 6561 03:18:25,170 --> 03:18:25,718 Diego just to go to the next 6562 03:18:25,718 --> 03:18:28,718 slide to emphasize this here's 6563 03:18:30,421 --> 03:18:31,123 all these decision points now 6564 03:18:31,123 --> 03:18:34,123 that have been put into 6565 03:18:34,693 --> 03:18:35,394 the code and each one of these 6566 03:18:35,394 --> 03:18:38,394 decision points is actually a 6567 03:18:38,697 --> 03:18:39,365 point of uncertainty not just 6568 03:18:39,365 --> 03:18:40,199 for the homeowner who lives 6569 03:18:40,199 --> 03:18:40,565 next to a project per se for a 6570 03:18:40,565 --> 03:18:42,565 developer. 6571 03:18:43,200 --> 03:18:43,602 And one of the things that's 6572 03:18:43,602 --> 03:18:46,200 happened is because our 6573 03:18:47,706 --> 03:18:48,473 regulations are so ephemeral 6574 03:18:48,473 --> 03:18:49,740 because a lot of these things 6575 03:18:49,740 --> 03:18:51,740 change every day 6576 03:18:53,345 --> 03:18:53,846 the opportunities zones change 6577 03:18:53,846 --> 03:18:54,613 on a yearly basis. 6578 03:18:54,613 --> 03:18:58,213 The usda changes every time San 6579 03:18:58,283 --> 03:18:58,818 Diego updated transit plan 6580 03:18:58,818 --> 03:18:59,251 because of all these 6581 03:18:59,251 --> 03:19:01,251 complexities. 6582 03:19:03,556 --> 03:19:04,256 If I want to buy land today and 6583 03:19:04,256 --> 03:19:04,990 develop two years from now, I 6584 03:19:04,990 --> 03:19:05,758 don't know whether I'm going to 6585 03:19:05,758 --> 03:19:07,760 be in the usda or meet these 6586 03:19:07,760 --> 03:19:08,494 other requirements We should 6587 03:19:08,494 --> 03:19:09,328 just get rid of that complexity 6588 03:19:09,328 --> 03:19:12,631 and go to a much simpler 6589 03:19:12,631 --> 03:19:13,132 standard. 6590 03:19:13,132 --> 03:19:13,899 Next slide. 6591 03:19:13,899 --> 03:19:17,499 And the other thing is it's 6592 03:19:18,370 --> 03:19:18,737 been pointed out in the staff 6593 03:19:18,737 --> 03:19:19,404 report that going down to four 6594 03:19:19,404 --> 03:19:21,804 units total is already 6595 03:19:23,209 --> 03:19:23,776 consistent with 98% of 82 6596 03:19:23,776 --> 03:19:26,176 projects in San Diego. 6597 03:19:28,113 --> 03:19:28,780 So this isn't going to deter 6598 03:19:28,780 --> 03:19:30,616 San Diego from continuing on 6599 03:19:30,616 --> 03:19:30,916 the path to create more to use 6600 03:19:30,916 --> 03:19:32,916 . 6601 03:19:36,589 --> 03:19:37,289 If you go to the next slide, 6602 03:19:37,289 --> 03:19:37,957 we'll go to the next slide 6603 03:19:37,957 --> 03:19:38,257 first and I'm going to come 6604 03:19:38,257 --> 03:19:39,910 back. 6605 03:19:39,910 --> 03:19:41,460 So the other part of it is 6606 03:19:41,460 --> 03:19:42,161 we're only talking today about 6607 03:19:42,161 --> 03:19:44,561 restrictions on single family 6608 03:19:46,198 --> 03:19:47,660 zones. 6609 03:19:47,660 --> 03:19:47,867 Over half of all the bonus 80 6610 03:19:47,867 --> 03:19:50,867 years have been built in 6611 03:19:51,537 --> 03:19:52,237 multifamily housing which will 6612 03:19:52,237 --> 03:19:54,637 continue under the regulations 6613 03:19:56,676 --> 03:19:57,376 if not expand because one of 6614 03:19:57,376 --> 03:20:00,879 the things that was added as a 6615 03:20:00,879 --> 03:20:01,579 matter of state law is an 6616 03:20:01,579 --> 03:20:02,180 increase in the number of ada 6617 03:20:02,180 --> 03:20:02,682 use that can be added to 6618 03:20:02,682 --> 03:20:04,682 multifamily zones. 6619 03:20:06,318 --> 03:20:06,885 So we're already in a good 6620 03:20:06,885 --> 03:20:08,885 place with multifamily 6621 03:20:09,955 --> 03:20:10,723 production and we're only going 6622 03:20:10,723 --> 03:20:14,923 to go up from there going back. 6623 03:20:15,160 --> 03:20:15,828 >> The other thing about 6624 03:20:15,828 --> 03:20:18,828 reducing the number of areas 6625 03:20:20,166 --> 03:20:20,833 that can be built on a property 6626 03:20:20,833 --> 03:20:23,833 means that the incentive now 6627 03:20:25,204 --> 03:20:25,905 will be to make bigger units so 6628 03:20:25,905 --> 03:20:26,572 what happens today is 6629 03:20:26,572 --> 03:20:30,172 the average ada use size is 6630 03:20:30,576 --> 03:20:33,576 somewhere in the range of 450 6631 03:20:34,513 --> 03:20:35,140 to 500ft and that's optimized 6632 03:20:35,140 --> 03:20:35,981 for rent return. 6633 03:20:35,981 --> 03:20:40,153 You can build a one bedroom or 6634 03:20:40,153 --> 03:20:40,887 a studio for that but you're 6635 03:20:40,887 --> 03:20:44,487 not going to get family housing 6636 03:20:45,458 --> 03:20:46,125 out of it If we reduce 6637 03:20:46,125 --> 03:20:46,759 the number of to use But you 6638 03:20:46,759 --> 03:20:49,950 still have that floor area 6639 03:20:49,950 --> 03:20:49,729 ratio to work with then it's 6640 03:20:49,729 --> 03:20:50,563 more likely a developer is 6641 03:20:50,563 --> 03:20:54,163 going to build a family sized 6642 03:20:54,633 --> 03:20:55,401 home a 2 or 3 bedroom. 6643 03:20:55,401 --> 03:20:58,401 Adu We heard earlier about 6644 03:20:59,572 --> 03:21:03,172 the idea of providing a ranch 6645 03:21:04,376 --> 03:21:05,144 and houses in. 6646 03:21:05,144 --> 03:21:05,878 You're not going to get that 6647 03:21:05,878 --> 03:21:09,381 comparable to living in a house 6648 03:21:09,381 --> 03:21:10,183 in a single family neighborhood 6649 03:21:10,183 --> 03:21:11,500 if you don't make, you know, at 6650 03:21:11,500 --> 03:21:14,500 least 1000 or so square foot 6651 03:21:15,210 --> 03:21:15,888 unit And this will also come 6652 03:21:15,888 --> 03:21:19,250 into play if we are starting to 6653 03:21:19,250 --> 03:21:19,625 condo wise to use you need to 6654 03:21:19,625 --> 03:21:20,258 have some parity between 6655 03:21:20,258 --> 03:21:23,258 the primary unit and these 6656 03:21:23,897 --> 03:21:24,731 accessory units. 6657 03:21:24,731 --> 03:21:28,801 So and then finally I just like 6658 03:21:28,801 --> 03:21:29,502 to emphasize this comes from 6659 03:21:29,502 --> 03:21:30,169 London Matter who the city 6660 03:21:30,169 --> 03:21:33,380 hires to do studies for our 6661 03:21:33,380 --> 03:21:33,739 community plan updates by no 6662 03:21:33,739 --> 03:21:36,739 means an anti housing outfit 6663 03:21:37,977 --> 03:21:38,711 but they really have emphasized 6664 03:21:38,711 --> 03:21:42,311 is that the thing we're missing 6665 03:21:43,483 --> 03:21:44,150 in our planning is the creation 6666 03:21:44,150 --> 03:21:45,840 of family size and use. 6667 03:21:45,840 --> 03:21:48,220 I mean not just here to use but 6668 03:21:48,220 --> 03:21:48,888 housing and that's what's 6669 03:21:48,888 --> 03:21:49,556 driving families out of San 6670 03:21:49,556 --> 03:21:53,156 Diego When it comes time to 6671 03:21:53,393 --> 03:21:54,600 move out of that studio 6672 03:21:54,600 --> 03:21:54,560 apartment and now there's no 6673 03:21:54,560 --> 03:21:54,961 place to move to. 6674 03:21:54,961 --> 03:21:56,961 Next slide. 6675 03:22:01,634 --> 03:22:02,134 I cover that Next slide. 6676 03:22:02,134 --> 03:22:02,501 No, no, no. 6677 03:22:02,501 --> 03:22:03,369 Go back. 6678 03:22:03,369 --> 03:22:07,339 So the last thing I would like 6679 03:22:07,339 --> 03:22:07,807 to talk about is this threat of 6680 03:22:07,807 --> 03:22:09,807 decertification. 6681 03:22:11,244 --> 03:22:11,944 One of and there was a memo 6682 03:22:11,944 --> 03:22:15,544 that came out, you know, at 6683 03:22:16,181 --> 03:22:16,850 the last minute on Friday, of 6684 03:22:16,850 --> 03:22:17,350 course being neighbors for a 6685 03:22:17,350 --> 03:22:19,350 better San Diego. 6686 03:22:20,853 --> 03:22:21,554 We spent all weekend analyzing 6687 03:22:21,554 --> 03:22:21,921 that letter, comparing it with 6688 03:22:21,921 --> 03:22:23,921 the code. 6689 03:22:25,525 --> 03:22:26,226 And one of the things that I 6690 03:22:26,226 --> 03:22:29,826 think is important to look at 6691 03:22:30,960 --> 03:22:30,797 is what were the conditions of 6692 03:22:30,797 --> 03:22:31,497 that letter and what were 6693 03:22:31,497 --> 03:22:32,132 the concerns that they had and 6694 03:22:32,132 --> 03:22:34,532 were they addressed Right. 6695 03:22:35,435 --> 03:22:39,350 And so the primary concern that 6696 03:22:39,305 --> 03:22:39,938 I had was that the exclusion of 6697 03:22:39,938 --> 03:22:40,306 the zones are greater than 6698 03:22:40,306 --> 03:22:42,306 10,000ft. 6699 03:22:44,744 --> 03:22:45,412 You know, I think in a short 6700 03:22:45,412 --> 03:22:47,812 amount of time development 6701 03:22:49,683 --> 03:22:50,350 service I mean sorry 6702 03:22:50,350 --> 03:22:51,510 the planning department was 6703 03:22:51,510 --> 03:22:54,721 able to look at that and they 6704 03:22:54,721 --> 03:22:55,621 have proposed an amendment to 6705 03:22:55,621 --> 03:22:59,221 that to allow those zones or 6706 03:22:59,958 --> 03:23:00,659 previously excluded in high and 6707 03:23:00,659 --> 03:23:03,590 highest opportunity zones that 6708 03:23:04,698 --> 03:23:05,398 actually provides a certain 6709 03:23:05,398 --> 03:23:07,798 benefit that wasn't there 6710 03:23:10,102 --> 03:23:10,837 before And it addresses 6711 03:23:10,837 --> 03:23:14,437 the primary concern that we had 6712 03:23:15,410 --> 03:23:15,642 in this letter and and I think 6713 03:23:15,642 --> 03:23:16,420 sort of set that aside 6714 03:23:16,420 --> 03:23:18,420 completely. 6715 03:23:18,878 --> 03:23:19,578 But more importantly 6716 03:23:19,578 --> 03:23:22,578 the commitment that San Diego 6717 03:23:24,284 --> 03:23:24,984 made And it's housing element 6718 03:23:24,984 --> 03:23:27,384 certification was to build 40 6719 03:23:29,689 --> 03:23:29,989 deed restricted areas per year. 6720 03:23:29,989 --> 03:23:30,757 Okay. 6721 03:23:30,757 --> 03:23:34,260 We in the four years we've had 6722 03:23:34,260 --> 03:23:35,600 this program in has risen year 6723 03:23:35,600 --> 03:23:35,728 by year So the average is below 6724 03:23:35,728 --> 03:23:38,128 what we're currently doing. 6725 03:23:39,633 --> 03:23:42,330 We've built up 364 affordable 6726 03:23:44,771 --> 03:23:45,472 to use with this program this 6727 03:23:45,472 --> 03:23:48,472 92 a year that's over twice 6728 03:23:49,342 --> 03:23:49,643 what our commitment to exceed 6729 03:23:49,643 --> 03:23:50,343 was. 6730 03:23:50,343 --> 03:23:52,743 Furthermore we're meeting that 6731 03:23:53,546 --> 03:23:54,281 commitment just with 6732 03:23:54,281 --> 03:23:56,281 multifamily affordable 80 years 6733 03:23:59,519 --> 03:24:00,187 We could have no single family 6734 03:24:00,187 --> 03:24:00,753 affordable way to use and we 6735 03:24:00,753 --> 03:24:03,153 would still be meeting 6736 03:24:03,923 --> 03:24:04,558 the commitment we made to hpd 6737 03:24:04,558 --> 03:24:06,958 under our housing element. 6738 03:24:08,929 --> 03:24:09,496 So this threat of 6739 03:24:09,496 --> 03:24:09,862 decertification is not 6740 03:24:09,862 --> 03:24:11,862 credible. 6741 03:24:14,167 --> 03:24:14,934 Of course when we send you a 6742 03:24:14,934 --> 03:24:15,635 letter and says if it was found 6743 03:24:15,635 --> 03:24:16,200 we would, you know, go through 6744 03:24:16,200 --> 03:24:18,200 all this. 6745 03:24:18,805 --> 03:24:19,473 But that's that's 6746 03:24:19,473 --> 03:24:20,106 the boilerplate statement of 6747 03:24:20,106 --> 03:24:22,506 consequence, not a real 6748 03:24:24,377 --> 03:24:24,944 assertion and that the law has 6749 03:24:24,944 --> 03:24:27,344 been violated or that 6750 03:24:28,849 --> 03:24:31,849 the housing element is not 6751 03:24:32,886 --> 03:24:33,619 being applied to Furthermore 6752 03:24:33,619 --> 03:24:36,619 larger units is a particular 6753 03:24:38,240 --> 03:24:38,725 concern about overcrowding 6754 03:24:38,725 --> 03:24:39,393 The building accessible to use 6755 03:24:39,393 --> 03:24:42,629 is also a thing that was 6756 03:24:42,629 --> 03:24:43,363 addressed in our proposal I 6757 03:24:43,363 --> 03:24:43,997 think makes us better not worse 6758 03:24:43,997 --> 03:24:46,997 than where we were before. 6759 03:24:52,906 --> 03:24:53,607 >> Thank you John Moll If I can 6760 03:24:53,607 --> 03:24:54,274 have the following individuals 6761 03:24:54,274 --> 03:24:55,800 please come up to the

to have 7072 03:35:08,390 --> 03:35:08,691 to live without a parking 7073 03:35:08,691 --> 03:35:09,358 place. 7074 03:35:09,358 --> 03:35:10,225 Personally I don't have that 7075 03:35:10,225 --> 03:35:13,825 big an issue with that because 7076 03:35:14,129 --> 03:35:14,897 I'm one of the lucky ones that 7077 03:35:14,897 --> 03:35:15,363 owns a home that has a garage 7078 03:35:15,363 --> 03:35:17,363 and a driveway. 7079 03:35:18,167 --> 03:35:19,100 And the fact is that the people 7080 03:35:19,100 --> 03:35:22,601 who are penalized most by this 7081 03:35:23,639 --> 03:35:27,839 in assistance on a myth of use 7082 03:35:28,643 --> 03:35:29,611 of transit at 3% and a bike 7083 03:35:29,611 --> 03:35:33,811 lane that I go into on Fairmont 7084 03:35:33,949 --> 03:35:34,917 have not seen one bike on this 7085 03:35:34,917 --> 03:35:38,787 week are those who are hurt are 7086 03:35:38,787 --> 03:35:39,488 working people who rent and who 7087 03:35:39,488 --> 03:35:43,880 have trucks and vans that they 7088 03:35:43,825 --> 03:35:44,126 put on streets that are open to 7089 03:35:44,126 --> 03:35:44,826 theft. 7090 03:35:44,826 --> 03:35:47,730 Big families that have kids to 7091 03:35:47,730 --> 03:35:48,531 take to school. 7092 03:35:48,531 --> 03:35:48,831 So let's just be honest about 7093 03:35:48,831 --> 03:35:50,831 that. 7094 03:35:52,868 --> 03:35:53,569 Let me give just a little bit 7095 03:35:53,569 --> 03:35:54,336 of background about how we got 7096 03:35:54,336 --> 03:35:57,336 here because I think it's 7097 03:35:58,207 --> 03:35:58,874 important for everyone to know. 7098 03:35:58,874 --> 03:35:59,207 I cannot thank you people 7099 03:35:59,207 --> 03:36:01,207 enough. 7100 03:36:02,310 --> 03:36:02,878 You know, four years ago there 7101 03:36:02,878 --> 03:36:05,878 were five of us here. 7102 03:36:06,282 --> 03:36:08,682 There were five people. 7103 03:36:09,652 --> 03:36:10,452 Four years ago when a six unit 7104 03:36:10,452 --> 03:36:11,186 adu project was put in in my 7105 03:36:11,186 --> 03:36:13,586 neighborhood which doesn't have 7106 03:36:15,191 --> 03:36:15,958 a park, has a library two two 7107 03:36:15,958 --> 03:36:18,958 miles away, has some of 7108 03:36:19,928 --> 03:36:20,296 the very worst schools in 7109 03:36:20,296 --> 03:36:20,996 the city. 7110 03:36:20,996 --> 03:36:23,966 We asked questions about what 7111 03:36:23,966 --> 03:36:24,733 was happening and nobody knew 7112 03:36:24,733 --> 03:36:25,434 because a bonus edu program was 7113 03:36:25,434 --> 03:36:28,434 passed during the pandemic and 7114 03:36:28,938 --> 03:36:29,271 nobody had any idea about what 7115 03:36:29,271 --> 03:36:31,271 it was. 7116 03:36:33,943 --> 03:36:34,543 >> We learned over time about 7117 03:36:34,543 --> 03:36:35,244 what we're seeing today. 7118 03:36:35,244 --> 03:36:38,844 But the word didn't spread and 7119 03:36:39,281 --> 03:36:39,949 we were dismissed on the most 7120 03:36:39,949 --> 03:36:42,349 scurrilous terms for raising 7121 03:36:43,352 --> 03:36:44,530 the very issues that these 7122 03:36:44,530 --> 03:36:47,530 people here are raising today. 7123 03:36:47,823 --> 03:36:50,823 Three years ago the mayor's 7124 03:36:52,428 --> 03:36:53,162 press secretary continually 7125 03:36:53,162 --> 03:36:56,162 posted on then called Twitter 7126 03:36:56,832 --> 03:36:57,433 that that our bonus edu program 7127 03:36:57,433 --> 03:37:00,433 was a success because it 7128 03:37:01,671 --> 03:37:02,371 allowed gentle development by 7129 03:37:02,371 --> 03:37:04,771 homeowners creating low income 7130 03:37:06,876 --> 03:37:09,876 housing in high resource areas. 7131 03:37:10,946 --> 03:37:11,547 It took me probably seven 7132 03:37:11,547 --> 03:37:12,314 rounds of tweeting back 7133 03:37:12,314 --> 03:37:15,914 the reality for Rachel Lang to 7134 03:37:16,184 --> 03:37:17,190 abandon that. 7135 03:37:17,190 --> 03:37:20,723 That's not what it is and maybe 7136 03:37:20,723 --> 03:37:21,423 that's what they thought it was 7137 03:37:21,423 --> 03:37:25,230 but it has never been that. 7138 03:37:25,928 --> 03:37:26,662 >> Again, the speaker know you 7139 03:37:26,662 --> 03:37:27,296 guys have been great listening. 7140 03:37:27,296 --> 03:37:29,696 >> I really appreciate it. 7141 03:37:31,000 --> 03:37:31,734 And I want to say COUNCILMAN 7142 03:37:31,734 --> 03:37:34,734 Foster, I cannot thank you 7143 03:37:36,172 --> 03:37:37,390 enough for being here today and 7144 03:37:37,390 --> 03:37:40,443 for taking ball on this issue 7145 03:37:40,443 --> 03:37:41,177 because the fact is that if it 7146 03:37:41,177 --> 03:37:44,177 wasn't for these Encanto people 7147 03:37:45,481 --> 03:37:46,181 and these choice people and for 7148 03:37:46,181 --> 03:37:46,582 us to champion them, we would 7149 03:37:46,582 --> 03:37:48,582 not be here. 7150 03:37:49,318 --> 03:37:49,886 It is only because and I say 7151 03:37:49,886 --> 03:37:52,286 this with no animosity 7152 03:37:54,560 --> 03:37:57,560 whatsoever it is only because 7153 03:37:59,262 --> 03:38:00,290 the these predatory developers 7154 03:38:00,290 --> 03:38:00,997 moved into an area where they 7155 03:38:00,997 --> 03:38:04,133 found and what they do is they 7156 03:38:04,133 --> 03:38:04,901 sit a Christian Spicer sits in 7157 03:38:04,901 --> 03:38:07,901 his conference room with Google 7158 03:38:09,205 --> 03:38:12,805 Maps on a screen and identifies 7159 03:38:13,876 --> 03:38:14,711 big lots and identifies areas 7160 03:38:14,711 --> 03:38:15,444 where he can go and essentially 7161 03:38:15,444 --> 03:38:18,444 cheat people out of their 7162 03:38:19,315 --> 03:38:19,982 property. 7163 03:38:19,982 --> 03:38:20,650 Will you look at this? 7164 03:38:20,650 --> 03:38:23,650 You saw this from Pamela. 7165 03:38:23,753 --> 03:38:24,530 I put it up again for you to 7166 03:38:24,530 --> 03:38:24,754 read. 7167 03:38:24,754 --> 03:38:26,754 Traditional homeowners assess 7168 03:38:28,458 --> 03:38:29,191 their properties based on 7169 03:38:29,191 --> 03:38:32,191 values from websites Redfin and 7170 03:38:33,960 --> 03:38:33,730 Zillow not realizing 7171 03:38:33,730 --> 03:38:34,663 the development potential. 7172 03:38:34,663 --> 03:38:38,263 They go in there and they 7173 03:38:38,735 --> 03:38:39,135 essentially steal these homes 7174 03:38:39,135 --> 03:38:39,702 from people. 7175 03:38:39,702 --> 03:38:42,702 Look at the last one. 7176 03:38:43,572 --> 03:38:44,240 We have a unique opportunity to 7177 03:38:44,240 --> 03:38:46,640 acquire these properties now 7178 03:38:48,711 --> 03:38:49,245 before homeowner awareness. 7179 03:38:49,245 --> 03:38:51,245 That is despicable. 7180 03:38:52,682 --> 03:38:53,115 That is absolutely 7181 03:38:53,115 --> 03:38:55,115 unacceptable. 7182 03:39:10,466 --> 03:39:11,234 And prices jump the Oh, okay. 7183 03:39:11,234 --> 03:39:11,801 I am sorry but a really 7184 03:39:11,801 --> 03:39:13,801 important thing here. 7185 03:39:14,637 --> 03:39:15,438 Let me make two points. 7186 03:39:15,438 --> 03:39:19,380 One is yes, we need housing. 7187 03:39:19,475 --> 03:39:20,430 The issue is what kind of 7188 03:39:20,430 --> 03:39:20,677 housing do we need? 7189 03:39:20,677 --> 03:39:21,544 Where do we need it? 7190 03:39:21,544 --> 03:39:24,480 What do we need and how much 7191 03:39:24,480 --> 03:39:25,148 does it cost? 7192 03:39:25,148 --> 03:39:28,148 When you balance what you've 7193 03:39:28,450 --> 03:39:29,152 heard today about the lack of 7194 03:39:29,152 --> 03:39:31,552 affordability of these units 7195 03:39:33,590 --> 03:39:34,357 and the harm that these units 7196 03:39:34,357 --> 03:39:34,991 are doing to people who have 7197 03:39:34,991 --> 03:39:37,991 spent their life and their 7198 03:39:38,728 --> 03:39:39,429 livelihood to buy their 7199 03:39:39,429 --> 03:39:40,196 property and keep it up? 7200 03:39:40,196 --> 03:39:43,196 It is indefensible to allow 7201 03:39:44,167 --> 03:39:44,734 more than four units on a 7202 03:39:44,734 --> 03:39:46,734 single family parcel. 7203 03:39:49,539 --> 03:39:53,739 We are all so sick of this 7204 03:39:53,976 --> 03:39:54,711 confabulation of affordable 7205 03:39:54,711 --> 03:39:57,711 rents and apartments and houses 7206 03:39:58,381 --> 03:39:59,149 and starter homes. 7207 03:39:59,149 --> 03:39:59,816 This is the bottom line and 7208 03:39:59,816 --> 03:40:02,216 it's irrefutable every time 7209 03:40:03,687 --> 03:40:04,321 Christine Spicer and Daniel 7210 03:40:04,321 --> 03:40:07,321 Skolnick buy one of these 7211 03:40:08,358 --> 03:40:09,125 properties they are removing 7212 03:40:09,125 -->

said and you 7216 03:40:18,902 --> 03:40:19,769 agree that Middle income 7217 03:40:19,769 --> 03:40:20,470 housing is a very big deal Now 7218 03:40:20,470 --> 03:40:23,470 we're turning a lot of 7219 03:40:23,973 --> 03:40:24,641 attention towards allowing 7220 03:40:24,641 --> 03:40:27,641 helping people to buy homes. 7221 03:40:29,179 --> 03:40:29,945 We cannot overstate 7222 03:40:29,945 --> 03:40:33,545 the importance of the loss of 7223 03:40:34,183 --> 03:40:34,951 these homes. 7224 03:40:34,951 --> 03:40:37,951 When these developers come in 7225 03:40:38,880 --> 03:40:38,788 and buy them and turn them for 7226 03:40:38,788 --> 03:40:41,788 ever into what our apartment 7227 03:40:43,393 --> 03:40:43,826 houses and as you see it 7228 03:40:43,826 --> 03:40:44,461 happens once. 7229 03:40:44,461 --> 03:40:47,461 It's just like a virus. 7230 03:40:47,663 --> 03:40:48,464 Christian Spicer comes in and 7231 03:40:48,464 --> 03:40:48,732 buys one and puts 12 units on 7232 03:40:48,732 --> 03:40:49,532 it. 7233 03:40:49,532 --> 03:40:52,202 The people next to it say 7234 03:40:52,202 --> 03:40:52,902 they're going to sell and leave 7235 03:40:52,902 --> 03:40:53,236 because they can't live there 7236 03:40:53,236 --> 03:40:53,870 anymore. 7237 03:40:53,870 --> 03:40:56,270 There's another one gone. 7238 03:40:57,140 --> 03:40:57,774 There's another one gone. 7239

03:50:37,489 --> 03:50:38,156 three cut across all of 7493 03:50:38,156 --> 03:50:42,227 the lots so all of the loss 7494 03:50:42,227 --> 03:50:42,994 we're talking about that are 7495 03:50:42,994 --> 03:50:46,594 part of the reform that you're 7496 03:50:47,799 --> 03:50:50,199 advocating are already subsumed 7497 03:50:53,572 --> 03:50:54,506 in one, two three. 7498 03:50:54,506 -->

03:51:11,823 --> 03:51:12,624 No. 7506 03:51:12,624 --> 03:51:13,392 >> With all of the devastation 7507 03:51:13,392 --> 03:51:16,992 that your program is causing to 7508 03:51:17,960 --> 03:51:17,963 these neighborhoods and to 7509 03:51:17,963 --> 03:51:21,300 assert that your houses have a 7510 03:51:21,300 --> 03:51:22,340 housing crisis that justifies 7511 03:51:22,340 --> 03:51:26,104 it, you don't solve a crisis by 7512 03:51:26,104 --> 03:51:26,504 creating another crisis. 7513 03:51:26,504 --> 03:51:28,504 >> Okay. 7514 03:51:31,210 --> 03:51:31,977 You just don't

7524 03:51:55,166 --> 03:51:55,968 It's just simply wrong. 7525 03:51:55,968 --> 03:51:56,702 It's wrong in some of the data 7526 03:51:56,702 --> 03:51:59,702 that you've used to calculate 7527 03:52:00,506 --> 03:52:03,506 calculate the five, six, seven, 7528 03:52:04,477 --> 03:52:05,110 eight the 1000 square foot main 7529 03:52:05,110 --> 03:52:05,577 house that doesn't exist. 7530

03:52:10,549 feet. 7534 03:52:10,549 --> 03:52:13,549 And besides that, to calculate 7535 03:52:14,853 --> 03:52:15,487 the way you did if maximum home 7536 03:52:15,487 --> 03:52:18,487 sizes were placed on these 7537 03:52:18,657 --> 03:52:19,324 lots, guess how many to use You 7538 03:52:19,324 --> 03:52:22,324 could build none except for 7539 03:52:23,696 --> 03:52:23,996 the state required

in measure 7544 03:52:29,802 --> 03:52:32,802 measures that you have taken 7545 03:52:33,205 --> 03:52:33,772 that cover four, five, six and 7546 03:52:33,772 --> 03:52:34,573 seven just don't work.

03:52:43,215 --> 03:52:43,916 lot. 7551 03:52:43,916 --> 03:52:46,916 It's a failure of analysis. 7552 03:52:48,587 --> 03:52:49,288 What works is for four spare 7553 03:52:49,288 --> 03:52:51,688

04:11:35,384 Planners Committee cpc. 8195 04:11:35,384 --> 04:11:38,621 First, we urge the Council to 8196 04:11:38,621 --> 04:11:39,321 process the majority of 8197 04:11:39,321 --> 04:11:39,989 the

meaningful public input. 8201 04:11:48,797 --> 04:11:49,465 While we understand that some 8202 04:11:49,465 --> 04:11:50,166 urgent changes MAY require a 8203 04:11:50,166 --> 04:11:52,566 shorter timeline, most should 8204 04:11:53,770 --> 04:11:54,103 not bypass proper community 8205 04:11:54,103 --> 04:11:54,937 review. 8206 04:11:54,937 --> 04:11:57,937 We report we support sunsetting 8207

04:12:03,645 --> 04:12:06,450 housing element cycle in 2029. 8211 04:12:07,383 --> 04:12:08,830 This provides a reasonable time 8212 04:12:08,830 --> 04:12:11,830 frame that protects the city's 8213 04:12:11,921 --> 04:12:12,588 housing element Compliance 8214 04:12:12,588 --> 04:12:13,288 while allowing a structured 8215 04:12:13,288 --> 04:12:13,956 rollback of a harmful program 8216 04:12:13,956 --> 04:12:16,356 that was implemented without 8217 04:12:16,492 --> 04:12:17,126 adequate community engagement. 8218 04:12:17,126 --> 04:12:19,126 >> We support prohibiting 8219 04:12:21,364 --> 04:12:22,231 the short term vacation rentals 8220 04:12:22,231 --> 04:12:22,932 on any parcel that was built a 8221 04:12:22,932 --> 04:12:26,532 part of the bonus or state 8222 04:12:27,103 --> 04:12:30,103 allowed edu and in the 92107 8223 04:12:30,572 --> 04:12:31,374 zip code my neighborhood almost 8224 04:12:31,374 --> 04:12:31,874 10% of those units are for 8225 04:12:31,874 --> 04:12:32,541 vacation rentals. 8226 04:12:32,541 --> 04:12:35,541 Do we have an affordable 8227 04:12:36,245 --> 04:12:37,180 housing crisis or do we not? 8228 04:12:37,180 --> 04:12:40,180 >> These units should be part 8229 04:12:41,250 --> 04:12:41,917 of the long term housing plan 8230 04:12:41,917 --> 04:12:42,251 and not fueling the tourism 8231 04:12:42,251 --> 04:12:44,251 market. 8232 04:12:45,455 --> 04:12:46,880 So we also want to support 8233 04:12:46,880 --> 04:12:48,488 restoring the setbacks and 8234 04:12:48,992 --> 04:12:49,625 the height limits to the state 8235 04:12:49,625 --> 04:12:50,292 Standard zero setbacks and 8236 04:12:50,292 --> 04:12:52,692 backyard adu towers destroy 8237 04:12:54,230 --> 04:12:54,898 the privacy and disrupt 8238 04:12:54,898 --> 04:12:55,331 the character of established 8239 04:12:55,331 --> 04:12:55,964 neighborhoods. 8240 04:12:55,964 --> 04:12:58,964 Another thing is the urban 8241 04:12:59,869 --> 04:13:00,603 forestry is in the setbacks and 8242 04:13:00,603 --> 04:13:03,603 the backyards of our community. 8243 04:13:04,374 --> 04:13:04,974 This will greatly impact 8244 04:13:04,974 --> 04:13:05,341 the tree canopy of our 8245 04:13:05,341 --> 04:13:05,908 community. 8246 04:13:05,908 --> 04:13:06,576 >> We strongly oppose 8247 04:13:06,576 --> 04:13:09,576 the city's proposal to allow 8248 04:13:10,246 --> 04:13:10,746 joint ideas to be rented for 8249 04:13:10,746 --> 04:13:11,413 less than 31 days. 8250 04:13:11,413 --> 04:13:13,813 That undermines the very 8251 04:13:14,917 --> 04:13:15,652 justification for the program 8252 04:13:15,652 --> 04:13:17,652 Expanding Housing affordability 8253 04:13:20,223 --> 04:13:20,890 California law does not prevent 8254 04:13:20,890 --> 04:13:23,890 the city from requiring a 31 8255 04:13:24,127 --> 04:13:24,827 day minimum rental return and 8256 04:13:24,827 --> 04:13:25,194 the city should maintain that 8257 04:13:25,194 --> 04:13:27,194 standard. 8258 04:13:29,265 --> 04:13:29,932 >> We also oppose allowing 8259 04:13:29,932 --> 04:13:30,600 the adu to exceed the floor 8260 04:13:30,600 --> 04:13:31,000 area ratio limits up to 1200 8261 04:13:31,000 --> 04:13:33,000 square feet. 8262 04:13:34,537 --> 04:13:35,204 This undermines zoning 8263 04:13:35,204 --> 04:13:35,637 integrity and contributes to 8264 04:13:35,637 --> 04:13:37,637 overbuilding. 8265 04:13:39,308 --> 04:13:39,942 We are especially concerned 8266 04:13:39,942 --> 04:13:40,576 about how the sustainable 8267 04:13:40,576 --> 04:13:40,910 development area is being 8268 04:13:40,910 --> 04:13:42,910 defined. 8269 04:13:44,880 --> 04:13:45,615 The current definition is based 8270 04:13:45,615 --> 04:13:48,785 on a one mile future transit 8271 04:13:48,785 --> 04:13:49,151 watershed much of which is 8272 04:13:49,151 --> 04:13:49,854 unfunded. 8273 04:13:49,854 --> 04:13:50,219 It's unfunded and it MAY never 8274 04:13:50,219 --> 04:13:52,219 be built. 8275 04:13:54,390 --> 04:13:57,990 We urge the City Council to 8276 04:13:58,194 --> 04:13:58,861 revise the sga to a one half 8277 04:13:58,861 --> 04:13:59,595 mile walking distance and to 8278 04:13:59,595 --> 04:14:02,595 only include transit stops that 8279 04:14:03,233 --> 04:14:03,933 are either currently in 8280 04:14:03,933 --> 04:14:06,933 operation or fully funded for 8281 04:14:07,437 --> 04:14:08,171 completion within five years. 8282 04:14:08,171 --> 04:14:11,171 The Peninsula community we do 8283 04:14:12,341 --> 04:14:13,143 support affordable housing but 8284 04:14:13,143 --> 04:14:13,877 this program as it stands is 8285 04:14:13,877 --> 04:14:14,343 overreaching and is harming our 8286 04:14:14,343 --> 04:14:16,343 infrastructure. 8287 04:14:18,114 --> 04:14:18,581 Our neighbors roads and our 8288 04:14:18,581 --> 04:14:19,649 quality of life. 8289 04:14:19,649 --> 04:14:22,985 We can see a stress on our our 8290 04:14:22,985 --> 04:14:23,686 streets, our water mains, our 8291 04:14:23,686 --> 04:14:24,287 sewer lines and our electrical 8292 04:14:24,287 --> 04:14:26,687 systems that were never 8293 04:14:28,224 --> 04:14:28,557 designed for this type of 8294 04:14:28,557 --> 04:14:29,292 growth. 8295 04:14:29,292 --> 04:14:29,959 We're putting our neighborhoods 8296 04:14:29,959 --> 04:14:32,262 at real risk by pushing them 8297 04:14:32,262 --> 04:14:33,290 beyond their capacity. 8298 04:14:33,290 --> 04:14:36,290 >> We respectfully ask you just 8299 04:14:37,300 -->

05:13:29,420 --> 05:13:29,743 experiments. 10229 05:13:29,743 --> 05:13:30,444 We didn't sign up to have 10230 05:13:30,444 --> 05:13:32,844 transient tenants walking past 10231 05:13:34,382 --> 05:13:35,116 their homes every day because 10232 05:13:35,116 --> 05:13:35,550 some developer found a loophole 10233 05:13:35,550 --> 05:13:37,550 to make money. 10234 05:13:39,530 --> 05:13:39,387

--> 05:13:59,140 >> Hi my name is Gabriel and 10245 05:13:59,140 --> 05:13:59,706 I'm a renter. 10246 05:13:59,706 --> 05:14:01,876 I'm also car free. 10247 05:14:01,876 --> 05:14:02,443 I oppose these reforms to 10248 05:14:02,443 --> 05:14:03,143 the 80 bonus program. 10249 05:14:03,143 --> 05:14:06,143 However I do support allowing 10250 05:14:07,480 --> 05:14:07,715 separate sales to completely 10251 05:14:07,715 --> 05:14:08,383 eliminate this program from 10252 05:14:08,383 --> 05:14:10,783 neighborhoods zoned for low 10253 05:14:11,352 --> 05:14:12,119 density which just so happens 10254 05:14:12,119 --> 05:14:12,787 to be some of the most 10255 05:14:12,787 --> 05:14:13,388 desirable neighborhoods that 10256 05:14:13,388 --> 05:14:15,523 have a history of racial 10257 05:14:15,523 --> 05:14:16,223 exclusion would be a complete 10258 05:14:16,223 --> 05:14:16,724 pivot back toward classist and 10259 05:14:16,724 --> 05:14:17,358 racist covenants. 10260 05:14:17,358 --> 05:14:20,358 The community, by the way, 10261 05:14:21,195 --> 05:14:21,962 enforce those old covenants. 10262 05:14:21,962 --> 05:14:22,797 So the coded language that was 10263 05:14:22,797 --> 05:14:26,330 used to deny people access to 10264 05:14:26,330 --> 05:14:26,734 housing has changed But 10265 05:14:26,734 --> 05:14:29,134 the tactics certainly remain. 10266 05:14:30,772 --> 05:14:31,506 To be honest, as much as I as 10267 05:14:31,506 --> 05:14:32,173 community input is an important 10268 05:14:32,173 --> 05:14:32,840 democratic principle you can 10269 05:14:32,840 --> 05:14:36,343 look at history to see where 10270 05:14:36,343 --> 05:14:37,111 politically popular movements 10271 05:14:37,111 --> 05:14:37,812 need it to happen In spite of 10272 05:14:37,812 --> 05:14:38,279 the outrage sparked by people 10273 05:14:38,279 --> 05:14:40,279 who fear change. 10274 05:14:40,548 --> 05:14:41,820 This past weekend we saw 60,000 10275 05:14:41,820 --> 05:14:41,782

also means fighting 10279 05:14:46,688 --> 05:14:49,560 for the right to have stable 10280 05:14:49,560 --> 05:14:49,723 high quality housing areas 10281 05:14:49,723 --> 05:14:50,358 where they work,

05:16:19,815 I'm going to turn over to 10326 05:16:19,815 --> 05:16:20,315 the chair of our land Use and 10327 05:16:20,315 --> 05:16:21,150 Housing Committee. 10328 05:16:21,150 --> 05:16:24,150 Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee. 10329 05:16:24,285 --> 05:16:24,986 So one one of the things that I 10330 05:16:24,986 --> 05:16:28,586 heard from the public and I've 10331 05:16:28,923 --> 05:16:29,523 heard from others and so I'm 10332 05:16:29,523 --> 05:16:30,158 going to ask our city 10333 05:16:30,158 --> 05:16:32,558 attorney's office I think 10334 05:16:33,895 --> 05:16:34,628 the council would be benefit 10335 05:16:34,628 --> 05:16:38,228 from a legal opinion whether or 10336 05:16:38,667 --> 05:16:39,700 not in fact we have any options 10337 05:16:39,700 --> 05:16:43,300 to shut down a and an 10338 05:16:44,339 --> 05:16:45,600 application that's on file that 10339 05:16:45,600 --> 05:16:45,707 has been deemed complete or 10340 05:16:45,707 --> 05:16:48,760 even a permit that's been 10341 05:16:48,760 --> 05:16:48,944 issued. 10342 05:16:48,944 --> 05:16:52,544 I'm very skeptical that we can 10343 05:16:53,381 --> 05:16:54,181 but clearly what we're hearing 10344 05:16:54,181 --> 05:16:58,220 from a lot of folks is not 10345 05:16:58,220 --> 05:16:58,919 necessarily the focus on what 10346 05:16:58,919 --> 05:16:59,621 the ordinance in front of us 10347 05:16:59,621 --> 05:17:02,560 today is but what they've seen 10348 05:17:02,560 --> 05:17:02,757 happening in their neighborhood 10349 05:17:02,757 --> 05:17:03,391 or what is currently being 10350 05:17:03,391 --> 05:17:03,758 allowed under the existing 10351 05:17:03,758 --> 05:17:05,758 ordinance. 10352 05:17:08,960 --> 05:17:08,796 So I don't want to put you on 10353 05:17:08,796 --> 05:17:09,464 the spot and ask you to opine 10354 05:17:09,464 --> 05:17:12,333 on that but if you could get 10355 05:17:12,333 --> 05:17:13,101 back to the council I think it 10356 05:17:13,101 --> 05:17:16,701 would be benefit Again, I'm a 10357 05:17:16,705 --> 05:17:17,539 little skeptical on that. 10358 05:17:17,539 --> 05:17:18,206 >> At the risk of freaking you 10359 05:17:18,206 --> 05:17:19,408 out if I've heard the number 10360 05:17:19,408 --> 05:17:24,208 for a lot I want to talk about 10361 05:17:24,880 --> 05:17:28,830 the number five or just wait. 10362 05:17:28,830 --> 05:17:28,717 It takes five votes to actually 10363 05:17:28,717 --> 05:17:31,117 take some action tonight. 10364 05:17:32,530 --> 05:17:33,210 There's nine of us. 10365 05:17:33,210 --> 05:17:37,580 Five is what the majority is If 10366 05:17:37,580 --> 05:17:40,580 folks don't like what's on 10367 05:17:40,862 --> 05:17:41,563 the table and we get five no's, 10368 05:17:41,563 --> 05:17:44,563 we're stuck with the ordinance 10369 05:17:44,866 --> 05:17:45,599 as it exists today and it gives 10370 05:17:45,599 --> 05:17:46,268 more opportunity for developers 10371 05:17:46,268 --> 05:17:49,838 to take advantage of the way 10372 05:17:49,838 --> 05:17:50,705 the ordinance is written. 10373 05:17:50,705 --> 05:17:51,373 So I would ask my colleagues to 10374 05:17:51,373 --> 05:17:53,773 think carefully about that. 10375 05:17:55,711 --> 05:17:58,711 In contrast, just five that 10376 05:17:59,470 --> 05:17:59,480 goes out actually limit or 10377 05:17:59,480 --> 05:18:00,215 interject. 10378 05:18:00,215 --> 05:18:00,916 For those of you who thought 10379 05:18:00,916 --> 05:18:04,486 the oecd letter that came out 10380 05:18:04,486 --> 05:18:05,187 on Friday morning was to your 10381 05:18:05,187 --> 05:18:05,687 advantage, I want to disabuse 10382 05:18:05,687 --> 05:18:08,870 you of that idea. 10383 05:18:09,491 --> 05:18:10,158 It was not it is the single 10384 05:18:10,158 --> 05:18:13,158 biggest challenge we have to 10385 05:18:14,562 --> 05:18:15,364 rightsize things for San Diego. 10386 05:18:15,364 --> 05:18:18,964 I want to think someone's going 10387 05:18:20,680 --> 05:18:20,769 to get mad at me because they 10388 05:18:20,769 --> 05:18:21,470 said this was a terrible thing 10389 05:18:21,470 --> 05:18:22,370 to say But I want to thank 10390 05:18:22,370 --> 05:18:23,572 the mayor's office and 10391 05:18:23,572 --> 05:18:24,473 the planning department who 10392 05:18:24,473 --> 05:18:25,239 spent a lot of time with each 10393 05:18:25,239 --> 05:18:28,239 city before things actually got 10394 05:18:29,211 --> 05:18:29,911 brought forward And then out of 10395 05:18:29,911 --> 05:18:30,579 the blue this letter comes out 10396 05:18:30,579 --> 05:18:33,579 on Friday morning coffee on 10397 05:18:33,715 --> 05:18:34,482 the side of shift. 10398 05:18:34,482 --> 05:18:38,820 But what hd said works against 10399 05:18:38,920 --> 05:18:39,288 what you claim or what you say 10400 05:18:39,288 --> 05:18:41,288 you want. 10401 05:18:43,724 --> 05:18:44,426 So I'm also going to highlight 10402 05:18:44,426 --> 05:18:48,260 that five votes that push this 10403 05:18:48,864 --> 05:18:49,564 ordinance too far the other way 10404 05:18:49,564 --> 05:18:50,332 might make you feel good 10405 05:18:50,332 --> 05:18:54,303 tonight but hd is going to come 10406 05:18:54,303 --> 05:18:54,836 and slap us down and make us do 10407 05:18:54,836 --> 05:18:55,571 this all over again. 10408 05:18:55,571 --> 05:18:58,874 I have lost too many battles 10409 05:18:58,874 --> 05:18:59,775 with the Coastal Commission 10410 05:18:59,775 --> 05:19:03,244 that has come back to bite us. 10411 05:19:03,244 --> 05:19:03,979 So there is that sweet spot. 10412 05:19:03,979 --> 05:19:04,580 I don't know where that sweet 10413 05:19:04,580 --> 05:19:05,246 spot is looking to my 10414 05:19:05,246 --> 05:19:07,646 colleagues to bring that 10415 05:19:08,650 --> 05:19:09,351 forward but that's 10416 05:19:09,351 --> 05:19:13,155 the challenge How do we get to 10417 05:19:13,155 --> 05:19:13,922 five that supports in ordinance 10418 05:19:13,922 --> 05:19:16,322 language that still complies 10419 05:19:16,592 --> 05:19:17,590 with eight CCDs mandates and 10420 05:19:17,590 --> 05:19:19,590 interpretation? 10421 05:19:22,630 --> 05:19:26,263 So anyway okay get off my my 10422 05:19:26,702 --> 05:19:27,402 teacher mode and turn it over 10423 05:19:27,402 --> 05:19:30,805 to again the chair of our land 10424 05:19:30,805 --> 05:19:31,473 Use and Housing Committee. 10425 05:19:31,473 --> 05:19:33,873 >> Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem 10426 05:19:35,511 --> 05:19:36,312 Lee Thank you Council PRESIDENT 10427 05:19:36,312 --> 05:19:37,780 An eye to whether folks might 10428 05:19:37,780 --> 05:19:40,682 be upset about it will take a 10429 05:19:40,682 --> 05:19:41,383 moment to thank our city 10430 05:19:41,383 --> 05:19:43,783 planning department for their 10431 05:19:45,520 --> 05:19:46,222 work on this item because again 10432 05:19:46,222 --> 05:19:46,921 we're here today because of 10433 05:19:46,921 --> 05:19:47,589 the amendments that need to be 10434 05:19:47,589 --> 05:19:49,992 made to the program and it's 10435 05:19:49,992 --> 05:19:50,693 taking a significant amount of 10436 05:19:50,693 --> 05:19:54,293 work to bring this forward but 10437 05:19:54,630 --> 05:19:55,330 also to do it in the timeline 10438 05:19:55,330 --> 05:19:55,598 that this council had asked 10439 05:19:55,598 --> 05:19:56,498 for. 10440 05:19:56,498 --> 05:20:00,269 We don't talk about it a little 10441 05:20:00,269 --> 05:20:00,769 bit later each time we have 10442 05:20:00,769 --> 05:20:01,470 these discussions. 10443 05:20:01,470 --> 05:20:02,137 I think it's critical to state 10444 05:20:02,137 --> 05:20:05,400 the fact that we continue to 10445 05:20:05,400 --> 05:20:05,574 face a housing crisis and if 10446 05:20:05,574 --> 05:20:06,308 anyone follows these 10447 05:20:06,308 --> 05:20:09,308 discussions that same notion is 10448 05:20:10,212 --> 05:20:10,980 reflected in every major city 10449 05:20:10,980 --> 05:20:14,316 in this country as the cost of 10450 05:20:14,316 --> 05:20:15,170 housing has far outpaced 10451 05:20:15,170 --> 05:20:19,217 the rise of incomes in most of 10452 05:20:19,521 --> 05:20:19,822 this country including in San 10453 05:20:19,822 --> 05:20:20,522 Diego. 10454 05:20:20,522 --> 05:20:24,122 And that's the that's a simple 10455 05:20:24,393 --> 05:20:25,600 fact People cannot afford 10456 05:20:25,600 --> 05:20:25,527 the housing that they would 10457 05:20:25,527 --> 05:20:27,927 like to live in. 10458 05:20:29,532 --> 05:20:30,232 Of course San Diego 10459 05:20:30,232 --> 05:20:30,899 unfortunately is already well 10460 05:20:30,899 --> 05:20:31,467 known to be one of the most 10461 05:20:31,467 --> 05:20:31,867 unaffordable cities in 10462 05:20:31,867 --> 05:20:33,769 the nation. 10463 05:20:33,769 --> 05:20:34,470 I know some individuals today 10464 05:20:34,470 --> 05:20:36,870 have remarked how incredulous 10465 05:20:38,373 --> 05:20:39,141 they believe that the moderate 10466 05:20:39,141 --> 05:20:42,141 income option at a deed 10467 05:20:42,644 --> 05:20:43,312 restriction at 110% of 10468 05:20:43,312 --> 05:20:44,460 the average median income in 10469 05:20:44,460 --> 05:20:47,646 San Diego means that rent would 10470 05:20:47,883 --> 05:20:49,510 be set at $2,300 or more. 10471 05:20:49,510 --> 05:20:52,254 I'm not sure how to break it to 10472 05:20:52,254 --> 05:20:52,988 folks but if you look at any 10473 05:20:52,988 --> 05:20:55,988 recent report that shows rental 10474 05:20:56,825 --> 05:20:57,593 rates in San Diego, the average 10475 05:20:57,593 --> 05:20:58,293 rental rate for an apartment in 10476 05:20:58,293 --> 05:20:58,594 this region is $3,000 if not 10477 05:20:58,594 --> 05:21:00,594 more. 10478 05:21:01,997 --> 05:21:02,665 And in in many high resource 10479 05:21:02,665 --> 05:21:06,265 areas it is far higher than 10480 05:21:07,360 --> 05:21:10,806 that and that is again also a 10481 05:21:10,806 --> 05:21:11,507 reality We used to talk about 10482 05:21:11,507 --> 05:21:12,207 housing being a challenge for 10483 05:21:12,207 --> 05:21:14,607 low income employees, students 10484 05:21:16,144 --> 05:21:17,120 or fixed income seniors. 10485 05:21:17,120 --> 05:21:17,747 That is all still true but 10486 05:21:17,747 --> 05:21:18,380 the reality now is that housing 10487 05:21:18,380 --> 05:21:21,380 has become a challenge for 10488 05:21:21,517 --> 05:21:21,918 everyone who doesn't already 10489 05:21:21,918 --> 05:21:22,685 own a home. 10490 05:21:22,685 --> 05:21:26,285 The fact that it requires an 10491 05:21:26,455 --> 05:21:27,156 average income of $250,000 a 10492 05:21:27,156 --> 05:21:27,857 year to purchase a home in 10493 05:21:27,857 --> 05:21:30,857 the city means that it's 10494 05:21:31,427 --> 05:21:32,940 impossible for the vast 10495 05:21:32,940 --> 05:21:32,795 majority of those people who 10496 05:21:32,795 --> 05:21:36,532 want to work in San Diego to 10497 05:21:36,532 --> 05:21:37,165 buy a home in San Diego. 10498 05:21:37,165 --> 05:21:37,867 Look, I think the council 10499 05:21:37,867 --> 05:21:40,867 PRESIDENT Noted this for a 10500 05:21:41,837 --> 05:21:42,538 moment but many folks today and 10501 05:21:42,538 --> 05:21:46,138 i hear you you have expressed 10502 05:21:46,676 --> 05:21:47,343 an opposition to the item that 10503 05:21:47,343 --> 05:21:48,770 here today And I too reflect 10504 05:21:48,770 --> 05:21:50,813 that the opposition that you're 10505 05:21:50,813 --> 05:21:51,513 sharing is not necessarily to 10506 05:21:51,513 --> 05:21:55,113 this item and what it's being 10507 05:21:55,651 --> 05:21:55,985 presented but to the program as 10508 05:21:55,985 --> 05:21:56,685 a whole. 10509 05:21:56,685 --> 05:21:57,153 But I think it's okay to 10510 05:21:57,153 --> 05:21:59,153 recognize that. 10511 05:22:00,220 --> 05:22:00,690 But I do think that there is a 10512 05:22:00,690 --> 05:22:01,357 stark difference because as 10513 05:22:01,357 --> 05:22:03,757 the council PRESIDENT Noted, 10514 05:22:04,994 --> 05:22:05,694 the item today is a set of 10515 05:22:05,694 --> 05:22:08,694 reforms to bring much needed 10516 05:22:10,990 --> 05:22:10,766 restrictions to the Bonus to 10517 05:22:10,766 --> 05:22:13,766 You program as it currently 10518 05:22:13,936 --> 05:22:14,703 exists which as of today is 10519 05:22:14,703 --> 05:22:17,703 still unlimited with no caps 10520 05:22:19,609 --> 05:22:20,276 whatsoever and open to many of 10521 05:22:20,276 --> 05:22:23,276 the projects that folks have 10522 05:22:24,280 --> 05:22:24,880 come to us and complained about 10523 05:22:24,880 --> 05:22:25,548 here in the past And 10524 05:22:25,548 --> 05:22:27,548 unfortunately still projects 10525 05:22:29,352 --> 05:22:29,752 that are underway at 10526 05:22:29,752 --> 05:22:30,419 the moment. 10527 05:22:30,419 --> 05:22:33,556 The reason why we pushed so 10528 05:22:33,556 --> 05:22:34,323 heavily for this 90 day window 10529 05:22:34,323 --> 05:22:37,460 for an item to come back is 10530 05:22:37,460 --> 05:22:38,326 because every single day this 10531 05:22:38,326 --> 05:22:42,498 item and a lack of any action 10532 05:22:42,498 --> 05:22:43,165 sits out in the public means 10533 05:22:43,165 --> 05:22:45,565 another day that additional 10534 05:22:47,690 --> 05:22:47,937 permits will be submitted. 10535 05:22:47,937 --> 05:22:48,804 And so yes, an individual like 10536 05:22:48,804 --> 05:22:52,208 many of you pointed out from 10537 05:22:52,208 --> 05:22:52,909 crt would probably take 10538 05:22:52,909 --> 05:22:53,576 the opportunity to rush every 10539 05:22:53,576 --> 05:22:56,576 possible permit in at this 10540 05:22:57,790 --> 05:22:57,747 juncture. 10541 05:22:57,747 --> 05:22:58,348 That's why the timeline has 10542 05:22:58,348 --> 05:23:01,948 been as tight as it is. 10543 05:23:01,984 --> 05:23:02,852 So for those who have suggested 10544 05:23:02,852 --> 05:23:03,553 that we vote no today or that 10545 05:23:03,553 --> 05:23:07,153 we delay it for another future 10546 05:23:07,623 --> 05:23:08,910 time, I think that would be a 10547 05:23:08,910 --> 05:23:08,624 severe mistake. 10548 05:23:08,624 --> 05:23:11,624 We MAY not agree on 10549 05:23:12,295 --> 05:23:13,620 the ultimate resolution here 10550 05:23:13,620 --> 05:23:13,762 today And frankly I'm just as 10551 05:23:13,762 --> 05:23:14,463 curious as you all are as to 10552 05:23:14,463 --> 05:23:17,366 where all of my colleagues 10553 05:23:17,366 --> 05:23:18,234 might land. 10554 05:23:18,234 --> 05:23:19,350 I said from the very beginning 10555 05:23:19,350 --> 05:23:22,138 when this item first came up in 10556 05:23:22,138 --> 05:23:22,839 JANUARY that there are going to 10557 05:23:22,839 --> 05:23:25,408 be folks in the room who are 10558 05:23:25,408 --> 05:23:26,175 single edu at a house next door 10559 05:23:26,175 --> 05:23:26,876 to them That's two stories is 10560 05:23:26,876 --> 05:23:27,743 already too much Already heard 10561 05:23:27,743 --> 05:23:31,446 that plenty of times in my own 10562 05:23:31,446 --> 05:23:31,981 community I think we have all 10563 05:23:31,981 --> 05:23:32,681 agreed that many of 10564 05:23:32,681 --> 05:23:36,219 the projects that we have seen 10565 05:23:36,219 --> 05:23:36,885 that have become the example of 10566 05:23:36,885 --> 05:23:39,885 the problem of the unlimited 10567 05:23:41,157 --> 05:23:41,858 nature of this program are 10568 05:23:41,858 --> 05:23:44,858 problems Now where that number 10569 05:23:45,360 --> 05:23:46,290 is set I think is literally 10570 05:23:46,290 --> 05:23:49,290 what's going to be different 10571 05:23:50,567 --> 05:23:51,167 for every single person If I 10572 05:23:51,167 --> 05:23:51,768 thought in working with 10573 05:23:51,768 --> 05:23:54,768 planning to try to bring 10574 05:23:55,710 --> 05:23:55,939 reforms to the table to come up 10575 05:23:55,939 --> 05:23:56,739 with a way to scale based on 10576 05:23:56,739 --> 05:24:00,339 lot size because of that very 10577 05:24:00,610 --> 05:24:01,277 problem because the unlimited 10578 05:24:01,277 --> 05:24:02,440 nature I think is too much. 10579 05:24:02,440 --> 05:24:02,746 There are going to be folks 10580 05:24:02,746 --> 05:24:05,146 from an industry standpoint 10581 05:24:06,149 --> 05:24:06,816 that we heard from today that 10582 05:24:06,816 --> 05:24:07,383 are going to say that this 10583 05:24:07,383 --> 05:24:10,520 program is now way too 10584 05:24:10,520 --> 05:24:10,720 restrictive and that it should 10585 05:24:10,720 --> 05:24:11,210 be opened up significantly 10586 05:24:11,210 --> 05:24:11,621 more. 10587 05:24:11,621 --> 05:24:12,322 But we've had a lengthy 10588 05:24:12,322 --> 05:24:14,991 discussion at the land use and 10589 05:24:14,991 --> 05:24:15,692 housing Committee that's 10590 05:24:15,692 --> 05:24:16,326 brought us to this point and 10591 05:24:16,326 --> 05:24:17,227 the changes I believe are 10592 05:24:17,227 --> 05:24:20,227 necessary and they're going to 10593 05:24:22,650 --> 05:24:22,832 happen. 10594 05:24:22,832 --> 05:24:23,700 The 80 density bonus program is 10595 05:24:23,700 --> 05:24:27,200 not the only item and I'll take 10596 05:24:27,200 --> 05:24:27,703 my three minutes now and hope I 10597 05:24:27,703 --> 05:24:28,538 don't need more but we'll see. 10598 05:24:28,538 --> 05:24:31,538 The 80 density bonus program is 10599 05:24:31,541 --> 05:24:32,108 not the only item that's on 10600 05:24:32,108 --> 05:24:32,776 discussion for today. 10601 05:24:32,776 --> 05:24:33,576 There are a number of items 10602 05:24:33,576 --> 05:24:35,844 that are presented as part of 10603 05:24:35,844 --> 05:24:36,513 this package that are an 10604 05:24:36,513 --> 05:24:38,913 implementation of state law 10605 05:24:40,984 --> 05:24:41,584 relating to it to use 10606 05:24:41,584 --> 05:24:41,918 the existing as they are 10607 05:24:41,918 --> 05:24:42,686 already. 10608 05:24:42,686 --> 05:24:46,189 There's also an item in this 10609 05:24:46,189 --> 05:24:46,856 package that I think has been 10610 05:24:46,856 --> 05:24:47,556 overlooked I mentioned this 10611 05:24:47,556 --> 05:24:48,792 that the Land Use and Housing 10612 05:24:48,792 --> 05:24:49,460 Committee but item 23 is 10613 05:24:49,460 --> 05:24:51,860 the local implementation of 10614 05:24:52,629 --> 05:24:53,496 Assembly Bill 1033 which passed 10615 05:24:53,496 --> 05:24:54,197 in 2023 And I do believe that 10616 05:24:54,197 --> 05:24:57,197 that is actually one positive 10617 05:24:58,367 --> 05:24:59,102 item that we have been hopeful 10618 05:24:59,102 --> 05:25:02,702 to see come to fruition because 10619 05:25:03,106 --> 05:25:03,806 it is the opportunity that 10620 05:25:03,806 --> 05:25:06,806 allows for more home ownership 10621 05:25:07,977 --> 05:25:08,611 by taking adus that are not 10622 05:25:08,611 --> 05:25:09,312 part of the density bonus 10623 05:25:09,312 --> 05:25:10,130 program and allowing them for 10624 05:25:10,130 --> 05:25:13,130 convenience or for sale as 10625 05:25:15,385 --> 05:25:16,253 homeownership opportunities. 10626 05:25:16,253 --> 05:25:16,886 I do believe that 1033 does 10627 05:25:16,886 --> 05:25:19,886 make it easier for working 10628 05:25:20,823 --> 05:25:21,524 class folks to consider a 10629 05:25:21,524 --> 05:25:22,225 starter home by taking some of 10630 05:25:22,225 --> 05:25:22,826 the individual ideas that have 10631 05:25:22,826 --> 05:25:25,826 been built over time and 10632 05:25:28,932 --> 05:25:29,800 allowing those for sale. 10633 05:25:29,800 --> 05:25:30,467 I do also want to thank staff 10634 05:25:30,467 --> 05:25:33,236 for making a couple of 10635 05:25:33,236 --> 05:25:34,700 additional amendments. 10636 05:25:34,700 --> 05:25:34,771 One of the ones that we had 10637 05:25:34,771 --> 05:25:35,439 discussed that was in put it 10638 05:25:35,439 --> 05:25:37,839 especially after the letter 10639 05:25:38,308 --> 05:25:39,900 from cd was recognizing that 10640 05:25:39,900 --> 05:25:42,900 the elimination of low density 10641 05:25:43,546 --> 05:25:44,214 residential zones that we had 10642 05:25:44,214 --> 05:25:44,915 put in place from the first 10643 05:25:44,915 --> 05:25:47,651 time the second time this was 10644 05:25:47,651 --> 05:25:50,510 heard at Council that's 10645 05:25:51,521 --> 05:25:52,155 the s1-1 through 1-4 and 1-8 10646 05:25:52,155 --> 05:25:54,555 through 11 zones that that 10647 05:25:56,860 --> 05:25:57,494 limitation as media and others 10648 05:25:57,494 --> 05:25:58,161 have pointed out had other 10649 05:25:58,161 --> 05:26:00,161 implications that eliminated 10650 05:26:02,990 --> 05:26:02,666 significant numbers of high 10651 05:26:02,666 --> 05:26:03,100 resource areas within 10652 05:26:03,100 --> 05:26:03,766 the community. 10653 05:26:03,766 --> 05:26:07,370 And so I do appreciate that 10654 05:26:07,370 --> 05:26:07,871 amendment. 10655 05:26:07,871 --> 05:26:08,572 I actually think in my opinion 10656 05:26:08,572 --> 05:26:12,172 goes a long ways to address 10657 05:26:12,342 --> 05:26:13,430 some of the concerns that hcc 10658 05:26:13,430 --> 05:26:13,776 has brought up but we won't 10659 05:26:13,776 --> 05:26:16,776 know until it's actually passed 10660 05:26:17,413 --> 05:26:18,181 and put forward to them. 10661 05:26:18,181 --> 05:26:18,849 I will also note that that 10662 05:26:18,849 --> 05:26:21,849 amendment I still very much 10663 05:26:22,552 --> 05:26:23,120 stand by especially when it 10664 05:26:23,120 --> 05:26:23,787 comes to low resource 10665 05:26:23,787 --> 05:26:24,487 communities because a lot of 10666 05:26:24,487 --> 05:26:26,887 this conversation started with 10667 05:26:27,230 --> 05:26:27,757 members of the cancer community 10668 05:26:27,757 --> 05:26:28,458 coming out and the objective of 10669 05:26:28,458 --> 05:26:31,458 that portion of the amendment 10670 05:26:31,828 --> 05:26:32,696 is to eliminate it's used in 10671 05:26:32,696 --> 05:26:36,296 almost all of Encanto and to 10672 05:26:37,134 --> 05:26:37,834 eliminate the possibility that 10673 05:26:37,834 --> 05:26:39,200 that concentrates this kind of 10674 05:26:39,200 --> 05:26:41,402 development in lower resource 10675 05:26:44,174 --> 05:26:44,908 neighborhoods. 10676 05:26:44,908 --> 05:26:45,542 My intent with reforming this 10677 05:26:45,542 --> 05:26:48,542 program has always been to 10678 05:26:49,313 --> 05:26:50,470 ensure that we close 10679 05:26:50,470 --> 05:26:50,680 the existing loopholes and that 10680 05:26:50,680 --> 05:26:53,680 we put other common sense 10681 05:26:54,852 --> 05:26:55,619 measures into place And that is 10682 05:26:55,619 --> 05:26:58,488 where I think the long list of 10683 05:26:58,488 --> 05:26:59,223 recommendations that city 10684 05:26:59,223 --> 05:27:01,623 planning put together initially 10685 05:27:03,793 --> 05:27:04,494 we're all glad to see here 10686 05:27:04,494 --> 05:27:05,195 the addition of considerations 10687 05:27:05,195 --> 05:27:08,195 for fire high fire severity 10688 05:27:09,366 --> 05:27:10,333 zones, the elimination of cul 10689 05:27:10,333 --> 05:27:14,404 de sacs which I will note I 10690 05:27:14,404 --> 05:27:15,105 walked a couple of streets with 10691 05:27:15,105 --> 05:27:15,773 my own neighbors in University 10692 05:27:15,773 --> 05:27:18,773 City looking at two projects 10693 05:27:19,242 --> 05:27:19,910 that had already been in 10694 05:27:19,910 --> 05:27:20,643 the pipeline one which would 10695 05:27:20,643 --> 05:27:23,380 not be possible with any of 10696 05:27:23,380 --> 05:27:24,281 these amendments 10697 05:27:24,281 --> 05:27:27,281 The development scale to limit 10698 05:27:28,519 --> 05:27:29,285 and eliminate the unlimited 10699 05:27:29,285 --> 05:27:32,885 nature of the program as it 10700 05:27:34,758 --> 05:27:35,559 exists today Because even if we 10701 05:27:35,559 --> 05:27:36,893 can disagree it where there's a 10702 05:27:36,893 --> 05:27:37,594 PRESIDENT I'm happy to 10703 05:27:37,594 --> 05:27:38,295 contribute my three minutes to 10704 05:27:38,295 --> 05:27:38,961 council PRESIDENT Pro tem even 10705 05:27:38,961 --> 05:27:41,965 we can disagree as to where 10706 05:27:41,965 --> 05:27:42,365 the limitations are for what's 10707 05:27:42,365 --> 05:27:43,660 acceptable. 10708 05:27:43,660 --> 05:27:45,536 I think everyone in this room 10709 05:27:45,536 --> 05:27:49,136 seems to agree that a 20 a 50 10710 05:27:49,205 --> 05:27:49,873 or 150 or a 750 unit project is 10711 05:27:49,873 --> 05:27:52,873 not what was ever intended. 10712 05:27:54,311 --> 05:27:55,440 So at the end of the day I do 10713 05:27:55,440 --> 05:27:58,215 believe that ideas are not part 10714 05:27:58,215 --> 05:27:58,849 of the silver bullet of solving 10715 05:27:58,849 --> 05:27:59,516 housing but they have been 10716 05:27:59,516 --> 05:28:01,916 proven to add additional 10717 05:28:03,854 --> 05:28:04,554 housing and we are still in an 10718 05:28:04,554 --> 05:28:05,122 environment where that housing 10719 05:28:05,122 --> 05:28:07,122 is desperately needed. 10720 05:28:07,957 --> 05:28:08,659 I look every day in our 10721 05:28:08,659 --> 05:28:09,325 community where we hear and we 10722 05:28:09,325 --> 05:28:12,325 get pleas from residents who 10723 05:28:12,696 --> 05:28:13,497 are desperate to find anything 10724 05:28:13,497 --> 05:28:14,465 that allows them to stay in San 10725 05:28:14,465 --> 05:28:17,767 Diego and their kids to stay in 10726 05:28:17,767 --> 05:28:18,736 school. 10727 05:28:18,736 --> 05:28:22,936 And in many of those cases they 10728 05:28:23,730 --> 05:28:23,807 ask for a backyard apartment if 10729 05:28:23,807 --> 05:28:24,174 that's what's necessary or room 10730 05:28:24,174 --> 05:28:24,809 to share. 10731 05:28:24,809 --> 05:28:27,809 Those are the limits that 10732 05:28:27,978 --> 05:28:28,679 they've got within 10733 05:28:28,679 --> 05:28:29,179 the expensive housing that we 10734 05:28:29,179 --> 05:28:31,579 have in San Diego. 10735 05:28:32,916 --> 05:28:33,617 So all that is to say I'm sure 10736 05:28:33,617 --> 05:28:34,317 there's going to be a lot more 10737 05:28:34,317 --> 05:28:37,317 to this conversation today but 10738 05:28:37,421 --> 05:28:38,880 I'm going to start today by 10739 05:28:38,880 --> 05:28:38,689 thanking again City planning 10740 05:28:38,689 --> 05:28:39,356 for putting together all 10741 05:28:39,356 --> 05:28:39,757 the recommendations that you 10742 05:28:39,757 --> 05:28:41,757 have listed. 10743 05:28:42,693 --> 05:28:43,193 I'm going to make a motion to 10744 05:28:43,193 --> 05:28:43,861 adopt the staff's 10745 05:28:43,861 --> 05:28:45,861 recommendation as presented 10746 05:28:46,697 --> 05:28:47,398 with all of these additional 10747 05:28:47,398 --> 05:28:48,980 restrictions in place to again 10748 05:28:48,980 --> 05:28:51,980 rein in this program further. 10749 05:28:51,635 --> 05:28:52,202 And I look forward to hearing 10750 05:28:52,202 -->

05:29:14,822 with being open to other 10761 05:29:16,600 --> 05:29:18,460 amendments by Council members. 10762 05:29:19,663 --> 05:29:20,430 I'm actually one that I think 10763 05:29:20,430 --> 05:29:23,430 it's I hope there's some 10764 05:29:24,768 --> 05:29:25,690 agreement actually forget all 10765 05:29:25,690 --> 05:29:25,436 that. 10766 05:29:25,436 --> 05:29:25,936 I'm sorry. 10767 05:29:25,936 --> 05:29:27,936 I'm getting tired. 10768 05:29:28,706 --> 05:29:29,306 Thank you for the public Four 10769 05:29:29,306 --> 05:29:30,240 hours of testimony here. 10770 05:29:30,240 --> 05:29:33,744 We'll see if I can keep my my 10771 05:29:33,744 --> 05:29:34,612 head together. 10772 05:29:34,612 --> 05:29:35,312 I want to start out by thanking 10773 05:29:35,312 --> 05:29:38,312 Council member Foster We would 10774 05:29:39,550 --> 05:29:40,217 not be here if he didn't take 10775 05:29:40,217 --> 05:29:43,621 what were at the time what's 10776 05:29:43,621 --> 05:29:44,422 kind of an outrageous statement 10777 05:29:44,422 --> 05:29:45,890 that kind of kicked off this 10778 05:29:45,890 --> 05:29:47,489 conversation And the biggest 10779 05:29:48,325 --> 05:29:49,260 thing we struggle is as you've 10780 05:29:49,260 --> 05:29:52,626 heard and you will continue to 10781 05:29:52,863 --> 05:29:53,764 hear when we trigger these 10782 05:29:53,764 --> 05:29:57,964 kinds of changes it sends a red 10783 05:29:58,402 --> 05:29:59,700 flag up and developers just say 10784 05:29:59,700 --> 05:30:02,273 I've got a window to do 10785 05:30:02,273 --> 05:30:03,600 something Under the old rules 10786 05:30:03,600 --> 05:30:03,607 and it's just an unfortunate 10787 05:30:03,607 --> 05:30:04,342 part of the transition. 10788 05:30:04,342 --> 05:30:07,342 So thank you to Councilmember 10789 05:30:07,844 --> 05:30:08,613 Foster and his office. 10790 05:30:08,613 --> 05:30:11,613 As others have said, attitude 10791 05:30:12,950 --> 05:30:13,317 is part of our housing 10792 05:30:13,317 --> 05:30:14,218 solution. 10793 05:30:14,218 --> 05:30:17,254 It is not the only part of our 10794 05:30:17,254 --> 05:30:17,989 solutions but it doesn't mean 10795 05:30:17,989 --> 05:30:21,589 that it shouldn't be right size 10796 05:30:21,925 --> 05:30:22,560 And I think we've seen very, 10797 05:30:22,560 --> 05:30:24,960 very ugly and unfortunate 10798 05:30:27,310 --> 05:30:27,832 examples of where what could 10799 05:30:27,832 --> 05:30:31,135 have been and a good program 10800 05:30:31,135 --> 05:30:31,801 gone horribly, horribly awry. 10801 05:30:31,801 --> 05:30:34,801 And again that's that's why 10802 05:30:36,400 --> 05:30:36,640 we're here And to the media 10803 05:30:36,640 --> 05:30:36,974 these aren't the mayor's 10804 05:30:36,974 --> 05:30:37,675 reforms. 10805 05:30:37,675 --> 05:30:41,275 These are the reforms that we 10806 05:30:41,412 --> 05:30:42,800 are pushing forward are in 10807 05:30:42,800 --> 05:30:42,780 concert with city planning. 10808 05:30:42,780 --> 05:30:46,380 So stop yelling at the mayor, 10809 05:30:46,751 --> 05:30:47,418 yell at us because we're taking 10810 05:30:47,418 --> 05:30:48,453 ownership of this now And if 10811 05:30:48,453 --> 05:30:52,653 you don't like it you can blame 10812 05:30:53,657 --> 05:30:54,425 us for it. 10813 05:30:54,425 --> 05:30:55,125 So I'm going to introduce some 10814 05:30:55,125 --> 05:30:57,525 amendments and then certainly 10815 05:30:59,263 --> 05:31:02,567 as we see if my colleagues 10816 05:31:02,567 --> 05:31:03,267 agree actually the council 10817 05:31:03,267 --> 05:31:04,135 PRESIDENT Pro tem will start 10818 05:31:04,135 --> 05:31:07,735 that off And I think there's 10819 05:31:08,573 --> 05:31:12,173 some things that we're going to 10820 05:31:15,346 --> 05:31:16,113 distribute maybe So in 10821 05:31:16,113 --> 05:31:19,113 listening I'm a little bit 10822 05:31:20,684 --> 05:31:21,351 wonky so I'm going to apologize 10823 05:31:21,351 --> 05:31:24,351 in advance listening to both 10824 05:31:24,522 --> 05:31:25,123 sides those that are absolutely 10825 05:31:25,123 --> 05:31:25,623 against it and those are 10826 05:31:25,623 --> 05:31:27,623 absolutely for it. 10827 05:31:29,327 --> 05:31:30,294 I actually found some middle 10828 05:31:30,294 --> 05:31:34,494 ground in all of that and so 10829 05:31:34,932 --> 05:31:35,533 that's where I'm going to make 10830 05:31:35,533 --> 05:31:36,267 a couple of amendments. 10831 05:31:36,267 --> 05:31:39,437 One of the things that I cannot 10832 05:31:39,437 --> 05:31:40,138 stand is the possibility that 10833 05:31:40,138 --> 05:31:42,538 we provide affordability based 10834 05:31:44,842 --> 05:31:45,476 on the square footage because 10835 05:31:45,476 --> 05:31:47,876 that income restriction is 10836 05:31:50,180 --> 05:31:50,647 based on bedrooms, not on 10837 05:31:50,647 --> 05:31:51,316 square footage. 10838 05:31:51,316 --> 05:31:53,170 So you get to charge as much 10839 05:31:53,170 --> 05:31:53,985 for a one bedroom, 150 square 10840 05:31:53,985 --> 05:31:57,488 foot as you do for a 450 square 10841 05:31:57,488 --> 05:31:58,356 foot, one bedroom. 10842 05:31:58,356 --> 05:32:01,292 I think it makes sense in some 10843 05:32:01,292 --> 05:32:02,260 world But the idea that we 10844 05:32:02,260 --> 05:32:02,693 would encourage 150 square foot 10845 05:32:02,693 --> 05:32:05,693 micro units doesn't make any 10846 05:32:05,963 --> 05:32:06,764 sense especially if we're going 10847 05:32:06,764 --> 05:32:07,698 to be allowing them to sell. 10848 05:32:07,698 --> 05:32:11,298 So what I heard is consistency 10849 05:32:11,502 --> 05:32:14,502 about the right sizing of 10850 05:32:15,473 --> 05:32:16,206 the units And so my First 10851 05:32:16,206 --> 05:32:19,206 Amendment is to actually impose 10852 05:32:20,946 --> 05:32:21,645 a minimum gross floor area And 10853 05:32:21,645 --> 05:32:22,280 as council PRESIDENT I'm going 10854 05:32:22,280 --> 05:32:24,783 to give myself more time. 10855 05:32:24,783 --> 05:32:25,350 So to make sure that we 10856 05:32:25,350 --> 05:32:26,830 actually get units and 10857 05:32:26,830 --> 05:32:29,830 hopefully more bedrooms to suit 10858 05:32:29,954 --> 05:32:32,954 families that are looking for 10859 05:32:35,493 --> 05:32:38,493 actually good sized with that 10860 05:32:39,464 --> 05:32:40,164 there's lots of places to 10861 05:32:40,164 --> 05:32:42,564 councilmembers Well that I 10862 05:32:46,838 --> 05:32:47,472 think just okay okay The second 10863 05:32:47,472 --> 05:32:48,139 proposal was introduced in 10864 05:32:48,139 --> 05:32:51,139 the staff report on page 12. 10865 05:32:51,977 --> 05:32:54,977 It's an additional option was 10866 05:32:56,460 --> 05:32:56,747 also referred to as a proposed 10867 05:32:56,747 --> 05:32:57,415 enhancement on Slide 28 which 10868 05:32:57,415 --> 05:33:00,351 is called a moderate income. 10869 05:33:00,351 --> 05:33:01,860 Adu If you want to use a 10870 05:33:01,860 --> 05:33:04,860 moderate income for your bonus, 10871 05:33:05,857 --> 05:33:06,324 the bonus one has to be a 10872 05:33:06,324 --> 05:33:06,992 moderate income. 10873 05:33:06,992 --> 05:33:10,592 And what I have heard again 10874 05:33:10,695 --> 05:33:11,262 from pro housing folks I think 10875 05:33:11,262 --> 05:33:11,963 Viacom talked about it 10876 05:33:11,963 --> 05:33:14,963 circulate talked about it and 10877 05:33:15,567 --> 05:33:16,166 some of you talked about it 10878 05:33:16,166 --> 05:33:18,566 let's actually make this 10879 05:33:20,438 --> 05:33:21,205 affordable for moderate income 10880 05:33:21,205 --> 05:33:24,205 folks even though 110% is kind 10881 05:33:25,743 --> 05:33:26,478 of a crazy number these days. 10882 05:33:26,478 --> 05:33:27,440 So taking advantage of the work 10883 05:33:27,440 --> 05:33:29,444 that the city Planning 10884 05:33:31,820 --> 05:33:31,649 department did the next two are 10885 05:33:31,649 --> 05:33:34,490 a little bit wonky. 10886 05:33:38,156 --> 05:33:38,723 One is to modify 141 0302d1b to 10887 05:33:38,723 --> 05:33:39,391 make sure that people 10888 05:33:39,391 --> 05:33:40,570 understand that if you're in 10889 05:33:40,570 --> 05:33:42,570 the sustainable development 10890 05:33:43,361 --> 05:33:44,229 area that there actually is a 10891 05:33:44,229 --> 05:33:47,532 max because you have to go 10892 05:33:47,532 --> 05:33:48,300 through 20 pages to find out 10893 05:33:48,300 --> 05:33:49,167 that there is a max, we'd like 10894 05:33:49,167 --> 05:33:52,103 to bring it up front going 10895 05:33:52,103 --> 05:33:52,971 forward. 10896 05:33:52,971 --> 05:33:53,705 By the way, four of us voted 10897 05:33:53,705 --> 05:33:55,705 against sustainable development 10898 05:33:57,509 --> 05:33:58,376 areas back in the day. 10899 05:33:58,376 --> 05:34:02,180 Just want to throw that in And 10900 05:34:02,180 --> 05:34:02,847 the last one is given 10901 05:34:02,847 --> 05:34:03,547 the city's trash fee which I 10902 05:34:03,547 --> 05:34:06,840 know a lot of people hate, 10903 05:34:06,840 --> 05:34:06,885 the city is cracking down If 10904 05:34:06,885 --> 05:34:07,553 you have five units you're not 10905 05:34:07,553 --> 05:34:10,553 going to get city services. 10906 05:34:11,323 --> 05:34:12,230 I want to put that actually 10907 05:34:12,230 --> 05:34:16,223 into the U.S. So people are 10908 05:34:16,728 --> 05:34:17,329 aware that if you go to five 10909 05:34:17,329 --> 05:34:17,896 units or more you're not 10910 05:34:17,896 --> 05:34:19,896 getting city services. 10911 05:34:20,298 --> 05:34:20,732 You have to go to a private 10912 05:34:20,732 --> 05:34:21,500 hauler. 10913 05:34:21,500 --> 05:34:25,100 I think it's just good practice 10914 05:34:25,537 --> 05:34:25,871 to actually highlight that 10915 05:34:25,871 --> 05:34:27,871 upfront. 10916 05:34:29,541 --> 05:34:30,308 So to my colleague who made 10917 05:34:30,308 --> 05:34:33,908 the motion to adopt the city's 10918 05:34:34,779 --> 05:34:35,446 the staff recommendation, I put 10919 05:34:35,446 --> 05:34:35,713 four amendments in front of 10920 05:34:35,713 --> 05:34:36,381 you. 10921 05:34:36,381 --> 05:34:36,782 I think they're good strong 10922 05:34:36,782 --> 05:34:38,782 amendments. 10923 05:34:40,151 --> 05:34:40,852 I heard from both sides 10924 05:34:40,852 --> 05:34:43,852 the importance of the minimum 10925 05:34:44,155 --> 05:34:44,856 gross floor area as well as 10926 05:34:44,856 --> 05:34:47,856 the moderate income to really 10927 05:34:49,193 --> 05:34:49,861 ratchet up our moderate income 10928 05:34:49,861 --> 05:34:50,561 and meet our arena numbers. 10929 05:34:50,561 --> 05:34:54,660 I'm going to put you on 10930 05:34:54,660 --> 05:34:54,900 the spot for sure. 10931 05:34:54,900 --> 05:34:55,600 >> I will address these each 10932 05:34:55,600 --> 05:34:58,600 individually if you don't mind 10933 05:34:59,103 --> 05:35:00,710 just looking at them. 10934 05:35:00,710 --> 05:35:00,739 One is that we actually had a 10935 05:35:00,739 --> 05:35:01,439 pretty significant amount of 10936 05:35:01,439 --> 05:35:02,400 discussion in the Land Use and 10937 05:35:02,400 --> 05:35:04,400 Housing Committee about 10938 05:35:04,509 --> 05:35:05,244 the minimum unit size and one 10939 05:35:05,244 --> 05:35:08,844 of the parts of that discussion 10940 05:35:09,414 --> 05:35:10,490 was recognizing that the moment 10941 05:35:10,490 --> 05:35:10,848 we put an actual cap on 10942 05:35:10,848 --> 05:35:13,719 the number of units that that 10943 05:35:13,719 --> 05:35:14,452 would de facto basically limit 10944 05:35:14,452 --> 05:35:17,452 or encourage maximizing the use 10945 05:35:18,690 --> 05:35:19,291 of the square footage that is 10946 05:35:19,291 --> 05:35:21,291 available and therefore 10947 05:35:23,561 --> 05:35:23,928 the minimum unit size was not 10948 05:35:23,928 --> 05:35:24,630 necessary. 10949 05:35:24,630 --> 05:35:25,329 I agree with you that frankly 10950 05:35:25,329 --> 05:35:27,566 it's not it doesn't make sense 10951 05:35:27,566 --> 05:35:28,333 to build smaller units. 10952 05:35:28,333 --> 05:35:31,570 But I also don't think that 10953 05:35:31,570 --> 05:35:32,171 someone building a 200 square 10954 05:35:32,171 --> 05:35:32,838 foot unit would get rent 10955 05:35:32,838 --> 05:35:33,539 the same way that they would 10956 05:35:33,539 --> 05:35:36,539 get building a 700 square foot 10957 05:35:36,841 --> 05:35:37,542 unit And so to that I think 10958 05:35:37,542 --> 05:35:41,142 frankly my hope is that by 10959 05:35:41,213 --> 05:35:41,980 limiting the number of units we 10960 05:35:41,980 --> 05:35:42,781 do actually get more units that 10961 05:35:42,781 --> 05:35:45,181 meet the 2 or 3 bedroom 10962 05:35:46,840 --> 05:35:46,785 category that the city has long 10963 05:35:46,785 --> 05:35:47,419 been missing and that would be 10964 05:35:47,419 --> 05:35:50,419 an opportunity to do that. 10965 05:35:50,723 --> 05:35:51,390 I just don't think the extra 10966 05:35:51,390 --> 05:35:51,923 complexity that is added in 10967 05:35:51,923 --> 05:35:52,523 here stipulating all 10968 05:35:52,523 --> 05:35:55,523 the different sizes is a 10969 05:35:55,927 --> 05:35:56,662 necessary amendment given 10970 05:35:56,662 --> 05:35:59,932 the effort that we went through 10971 05:35:59,932 --> 05:36:00,566 to move through that As 10972 05:36:00,566 --> 05:36:02,966 regarding to the moderate 10973 05:36:05,700 --> 05:36:05,871 income density bonus again this 10974 05:36:05,871 --> 05:36:06,572 is one where to be frank I 10975 05:36:06,572 --> 05:36:10,172 think we all just heard from 10976 05:36:10,409 --> 05:36:11,109 the audience moderate income at 10977 05:36:11,109 --> 05:36:11,810 the at the 101 is at $30,000 10978 05:36:11,810 --> 05:36:14,810 right now That's the median 10979 05:36:15,580 --> 05:36:15,948 income for a family of four in 10980 05:36:15,948 --> 05:36:16,614 San Diego. 10981 05:36:16,614 --> 05:36:19,614 That means that the moderate 10982 05:36:19,884 --> 05:36:20,285 income for a unit is extremely 10983 05:36:20,285 --> 05:36:21,152 high. 10984 05:36:21,152 --> 05:36:21,820 And so I don't know that adding 10985 05:36:21,820 --> 05:36:24,220 an additional restriction on 10986 05:36:25,570 --> 05:36:25,757 that will actually accomplish 10987 05:36:25,757 --> 05:36:26,458 anything when in reality 10988 05:36:26,458 --> 05:36:30,580 the units are already going to 10989 05:36:30,229 --> 05:36:30,662 be above what people deemed to 10990 05:36:30,662 --> 05:36:31,363 be affordable. 10991 05:36:31,363 --> 05:36:34,363 Number three I'm actually not 10992 05:36:35,734 --> 05:36:36,502 quite familiar with the this 10993 05:36:36,502 --> 05:36:39,538 section here so I might have to 10994 05:36:39,538 --> 05:36:40,439 look into this further and can 10995 05:36:40,439 --> 05:36:44,639 consider it But it's in it's in 10996 05:36:44,677 --> 05:36:45,377 the same area section of 10997 05:36:45,377 --> 05:36:46,450 the policy And so I would 10998 05:36:46,450 --> 05:36:49,450 presume that if it's already 10999 05:36:49,181 --> 05:36:49,882 limited in Section d four that 11000 05:36:49,882 --> 05:36:53,482 it doesn't need to be outlined 11001 05:36:53,652 --> 05:36:54,320 in section d1b And then finally 11002 05:36:54,320 --> 05:36:54,920 my hesitation for the adding 11003 05:36:54,920 --> 05:36:56,920 the additional language 11004 05:36:58,924 --> 05:36:59,859 regarding the waste collection 11005 05:36:59,859 --> 05:37:04,590 is that that is already what is 11006 05:37:04,230 --> 05:37:04,929 written in our updated charter 11007 05:37:04,929 --> 05:37:08,529 language as a result of metric 11008 05:37:09,335 --> 05:37:10,200 b and also outlined as a result 11009 05:37:10,200 --> 05:37:10,368 of the policy that we passed 11010 05:37:10,368 --> 05:37:11,103 last week. 11011 05:37:11,103 --> 05:37:14,390 I mean from a frank practical 11012 05:37:14,390 --> 05:37:14,607 standpoint I think adding 11013 05:37:14,607 --> 05:37:15,274 repetitive language in 11014 05:37:15,274 --> 05:37:15,874 different areas within city 11015 05:37:15,874 --> 05:37:18,874 code only makes it more 11016 05:37:18,944 --> 05:37:19,478 complicated if any one item 11017 05:37:19,478 --> 05:37:21,878 needs to be changed. 11018 05:37:23,150 --> 05:37:23,716 So I have to point out I'll 11019 05:37:23,716 --> 05:37:24,350 certainly be open to hearing 11020 05:37:24,350 --> 05:37:24,983 from my colleagues but at 11021 05:37:24,983 --> 05:37:25,751 the moment I'm going to 11022 05:37:25,751 --> 05:37:28,151 respectfully decline all four 11023 05:37:30,389 --> 05:37:31,256 amendments. 11024 05:37:31,256 --> 05:37:31,957 >> That's not a nice thing to 11025 05:37:31,957 --> 05:37:34,957 do to your council PRESIDENT. 11026 05:37:35,600 --> 05:37:35,727 I know it MAY not fly but 11027 05:37:35,727 --> 05:37:38,727 perhaps we'll see what other 11028 05:37:39,331 --> 05:37:39,631 language my colleagues come up 11029 05:37:39,631 --> 05:37:40,365 with. 11030 05:37:40,365 --> 05:37:42,701 I still feel pretty strongly 11031 05:37:42,701 --> 05:37:43,468 about number one and number two 11032 05:37:43,468 --> 05:37:47,640 what I heard but I'm not going 11033 05:37:47,640 --> 05:37:48,307 to belabor that argument here 11034 05:37:48,307 --> 05:37:48,940 So we'll go next to 11035 05:37:48,940 --> 05:37:50,940 Councilmember Ella Rivera. 11036 05:37:52,778 --> 05:37:53,546 All right. 11037 05:37:53,546 --> 05:37:54,313 Thank you, Council PRESIDENT. 11038 05:37:54,313 --> 05:37:57,830 I'll start by thanking all 11039 05:37:57,830 --> 05:37:57,550 the members of the public who 11040 05:37:57,550 --> 05:37:58,283 participated in 11041 05:37:58,283 --> 05:38:01,283 the conversation not just today 11042 05:38:05,157 --> 05:38:05,924 but over time. 11043 05:38:05,924 --> 05:38:08,924 >> I say there's some things 11044 05:38:09,127 --> 05:38:09,896 that I think we all many of us 11045 05:38:09,896 --> 05:38:10,796 share I won't say all because 11046 05:38:10,796 --> 05:38:12,965 it's a big city with many 11047 05:38:12,965 --> 05:38:13,599 opinions. 11048 05:38:13,599 --> 05:38:15,599 Certainly the frustration 11049 05:38:18,103 --> 05:38:18,771 around affordability is housing 11050 05:38:18,771 --> 05:38:19,338 too expensive in San Diego, 11051 05:38:19,338 --> 05:38:21,738 it's too expensive in 11052 05:38:22,875 --> 05:38:23,509 California and increasingly 11053 05:38:23,509 --> 05:38:23,910 it's too expensive across 11054 05:38:23,910 --> 05:38:24,576 the country. 11055 05:38:24,576 --> 05:38:27,613 What I will continue to say 11056 05:38:27,613 --> 05:38:28,381 though is I don't think that 11057 05:38:28,381 --> 05:38:32,500 folks who have owned a home for 11058 05:38:32,500 --> 05:38:32,919 a very long time understand 11059 05:38:32,919 --> 05:38:33,719 what it's been like to be a 11060 05:38:33,719 --> 05:38:36,719 renter and what is not 11061 05:38:37,489 --> 05:38:38,123 affordable might still be more 11062 05:38:38,123 --> 05:38:40,523 affordable than what other 11063 05:38:43,950 --> 05:38:43,463 options exist now. 11064 05:38:43,463 --> 05:38:45,463 All right. 11065 05:38:48,000 --> 05:38:48,834 You've been really good. 11066 05:38:48,834 --> 05:38:49,502 Let's kind of keep it up Thumbs 11067 05:38:49,502 --> 05:38:49,968 down if you don't like what 11068 05:38:49,968 --> 05:38:51,968 you're hearing. 11069 05:38:52,171 --> 05:38:52,905 But so to that point I don't 11070 05:38:52,905 --> 05:38:55,905 think there's anyone who's been 11071 05:38:56,542 --> 05:38:57,243 more vocal about expanding 11072 05:38:57,243 --> 05:38:57,943 tenant protections and pushing 11073 05:38:57,943 --> 05:39:01,543 back on landlords And I'll be 11074 05:39:01,880 --> 05:39:02,582 quite frank a lot of the folks 11075 05:39:02,582 --> 05:39:03,182 that I see here we're not 11076 05:39:03,182 --> 05:39:03,616 they're engaged in those 11077 05:39:03,616 --> 05:39:05,616 conversations. 11078 05:39:06,152 --> 05:39:06,485 We can do much more to protect 11079 05:39:06,485 --> 05:39:07,153 renters. 11080 05:39:07,153 --> 05:39:07,853 We can do much more to 11081 05:39:07,853 --> 05:39:09,853 strengthen tenant protections 11082 05:39:11,257 --> 05:39:11,958 And I hope to see your 11083 05:39:11,958 --> 05:39:12,558 solidarity when we bring those 11084 05:39:12,558 --> 05:39:14,958 efforts forward again in 11085 05:39:15,361 --> 05:39:16,280 the future If we do, there also 11086 05:39:16,280 --> 05:39:16,528 is an agreement that change 11087 05:39:16,528 --> 05:39:17,262 needs to be made. 11088 05:39:17,262 --> 05:39:20,165 We've seen exploitation of this 11089 05:39:20,165 --> 05:39:20,800 program egregious examples that 11090 05:39:20,800 --> 05:39:21,501 failure to agree egregious 11091 05:39:21,501 --> 05:39:23,901 examples of people exploiting 11092 05:39:25,204 --> 05:39:25,904 the program, disrespecting 11093 05:39:25,904 --> 05:39:26,605 neighbors and neighborhoods I 11094 05:39:26,605 --> 05:39:30,343 don't think any of us are okay 11095 05:39:30,343 --> 05:39:30,943 with that And clearly there was 11096 05:39:30,943 --> 05:39:31,611 a failure to account for 11097 05:39:31,611 --> 05:39:34,110 the impacts on neighborhoods 11098 05:39:35,148 --> 05:39:35,815 that have been long neglected 11099 05:39:35,815 --> 05:39:39,152 by the city like Encanto who 11100 05:39:39,152 --> 05:39:39,852 never had decent infrastructure 11101 05:39:39,852 --> 05:39:40,553 to begin with, let alone 11102 05:39:40,553 --> 05:39:42,953 the infrastructure to support 11103 05:39:44,356 --> 05:39:45,124 additional density. 11104 05:39:45,124 --> 05:39:45,792 That being said, there's a lot 11105 05:39:45,792 --> 05:39:46,325 today that I have heard that 11106 05:39:46,325 --> 05:39:48,325 has been concerning. 11107 05:39:49,428 --> 05:39:50,290 I saw people oppose the simple 11108 05:39:50,290 --> 05:39:50,729 request to make 80 use 11109 05:39:50,729 --> 05:39:53,729 available for sale so that 11110 05:39:54,233 --> 05:39:54,934 hardworking students we had two 11111 05:39:54,934 --> 05:39:57,670 law students who stood in this 11112 05:39:57,670 --> 05:39:58,538 in these chambers and said that 11113 05:39:58,538 --> 05:39:59,305 I would one day like to own a 11114 05:39:59,305 --> 05:40:03,275 home in the city of San Diego 11115 05:40:03,275 --> 05:40:03,576 and asked to see a future to do 11116 05:40:03,576 --> 05:40:04,543 that. 11117 05:40:04,543 --> 05:40:07,213 And I saw those same thumbs go 11118 05:40:07,213 --> 05:40:07,781 down and those same heads shake 11119 05:40:07,781 --> 05:40:10,181 And that is extremely 11120 05:40:11,484 --> 05:40:12,284 unfortunate because what that's 11121 05:40:12,284 --> 05:40:12,952 telling me is that folks are 11122 05:40:12,952 --> 05:40:15,952 pulling up the ladder after 11123 05:40:16,823 --> 05:40:17,523 they've made it out from from 11124 05:40:17,523 --> 05:40:21,123 the bottom and I will never 11125 05:40:22,327 --> 05:40:23,960 support that. 11126 05:40:23,960 --> 05:40:26,960 >> I've also heard folks refer 11127 05:40:26,499 --> 05:40:26,806 to Shawn just I'm just keep it 11128 05:40:26,806 --> 05:40:27,567 down. 11129 05:40:27,567 --> 05:40:31,167 You don't like it thumbs down 11130 05:40:32,500 --> 05:40:32,505 That conveys the message. 11131 05:40:32,505 --> 05:40:33,500 >> Thank you. 11132 05:40:33,500 --> 05:40:34,400 I appreciate it. 11133 05:40:34,400 --> 05:40:36,208 Can support it Also say this is 11134 05:40:36,208 --> 05:40:36,943 nothing new. 11135 05:40:36,943 --> 05:40:37,609 This is generally the response 11136 05:40:37,609 --> 05:40:40,813 that we get when we support 11137 05:40:40,813 --> 05:40:41,481 more housing and I won't be 11138 05:40:41,481 --> 05:40:42,148 deterred from advocating for 11139 05:40:42,148 --> 05:40:42,615 that in these chambers just 11140 05:40:42,615 --> 05:40:43,116 like I won't in 11141 05:40:43,116 --> 05:40:45,116 the neighborhoods. 11142 05:40:45,618 --> 05:40:46,186 I did that during my reelection 11143 05:40:46,186 --> 05:40:46,953 and I did quite well. 11144 05:40:46,953 --> 05:40:50,456 So I'm very competent to stand 11145 05:40:50,456 --> 05:40:51,424 on that in this room. 11146 05:40:51,424 --> 05:40:55,240 I also heard attacks on our 11147 05:40:55,462 --> 05:40:56,196 planning department hardworking 11148 05:40:56,196 --> 05:40:59,196 staff who have an incredibly 11149 05:40:59,765 --> 05:41:00,433 difficult job of creating more 11150 05:41:00,433 --> 05:41:01,000 housing and one of the most 11151 05:41:01,000 --> 05:41:03,000 strict and challenging 11152 05:41:05,500 --> 05:41:05,672 regulatory environments in 11153 05:41:05,672 --> 05:41:06,272 the country if not the most. 11154 05:41:06,272 --> 05:41:09,675 And so you MAY not like 11155 05:41:09,675 --> 05:41:10,377 the product that they produce 11156 05:41:10,377 --> 05:41:11,144 but questioning the motives or 11157 05:41:11,144 --> 05:41:14,744 the work ethic I think is 11158 05:41:15,215 --> 05:41:15,915 unacceptable. 11159 05:41:15,915 --> 05:41:16,583 And I apologize that you all 11160 05:41:16,583 --> 05:41:17,249 had to hear that because you 11161 05:41:17,249 --> 05:41:17,917 are good public servants who 11162 05:41:17,917 --> 05:41:20,553 show up every day to do your 11163 05:41:20,553 --> 05:41:21,254 jobs And I know you have a 11164 05:41:21,254 --> 05:41:21,954 whole team that supports that 11165 05:41:21,954 --> 05:41:22,355 work and I appreciate you for 11166 05:41:22,355 --> 05:41:24,355 doing that. 11167 05:41:25,291 --> 05:41:25,959 I also heard Holmes once 11168 05:41:25,959 --> 05:41:26,759 referred to as a plague and 11169 05:41:26,759 --> 05:41:29,696 another time referred to as 11170 05:41:29,696 --> 05:41:30,630 viruses 80 user homes. 11171 05:41:30,630 --> 05:41:34,601 You MAY not like that style of 11172 05:41:34,601 --> 05:41:35,234 housing but they are homes And 11173 05:41:35,234 --> 05:41:38,234 in those homes with people 11174 05:41:38,337 --> 05:41:38,638 people who are trying to get by 11175 05:41:38,638 --> 05:41:39,306 . 11176 05:41:39,306 --> 05:41:39,973 So words like plagues and 11177 05:41:39,973 --> 05:41:42,373 viruses to describe housing 11178 05:41:43,877 --> 05:41:44,477 that people are living in I 11179 05:41:44,477 --> 05:41:45,244 will not you will never 11180 05:41:45,244 --> 05:41:48,244 persuade me with language like 11181 05:41:49,215 --> 05:41:52,815 that Folks deserve a place to 11182 05:41:53,853 --> 05:41:54,621 live. 11183 05:41:54,621 --> 05:41:57,621 It's the basic foundation for 11184 05:41:59,459 --> 05:42:00,293 life, for opportunity And there 11185 05:42:00,293 --> 05:42:03,529 is no future in this city if 11186 05:42:03,529 --> 05:42:04,197 people do not believe that 11187 05:42:04,197 --> 05:42:04,898 they'll be able to afford to 11188 05:42:04,898 --> 05:42:08,134 live here so we can oppose 11189 05:42:08,134 --> 05:42:08,935 the exploitation of the program 11190 05:42:08,935 --> 05:42:12,535 and still not refer to housing 11191 05:42:13,740 --> 05:42:14,406 as a plague or as a virus. 11192 05:42:14,406 --> 05:42:16,806 Apartments and condos, our 11193 05:42:18,178 --> 05:42:18,911 homes and I will just share a 11194 05:42:18,911 --> 05:42:21,311 personal anecdote anecdote here 11195 05:42:23,216 --> 05:42:24,840 My step up from my family was a 11196 05:42:24,840 --> 05:42:27,684 step up into an apartment a 11197 05:42:28,355 --> 05:42:31,924 bigger apartment that was in a 11198 05:42:31,924 --> 05:42:32,659 single family neighborhood And 11199 05:42:32,659 --> 05:42:33,293 then our first homeowner show 11200 05:42:33,293 --> 05:42:34,930 Opportunity was is a condo 11201 05:42:34,930 --> 05:42:37,397 again in what is largely a 11202 05:42:37,397 --> 05:42:38,980 single family neighborhood. 11203 05:42:38,980 --> 05:42:38,899 Those opportunities were life 11204 05:42:38,899 --> 05:42:42,702 changing for me and my wife and 11205 05:42:42,702 --> 05:42:43,369 my son And I am deeply, deeply 11206 05:42:43,369 --> 05:42:45,769 appreciative that they exist 11207 05:42:46,573 --> 05:42:47,173 And I know that there are tens 11208 05:42:47,173 --> 05:42:47,841 of thousands hundreds of 11209 05:42:47,841 --> 05:42:50,841 thousands of San Diegans who 11210 05:42:51,277 --> 05:42:51,878 are looking for opportunities 11211 05:42:51,878 --> 05:42:54,278 like that as well. 11212 05:42:56,750 --> 05:42:57,449 So with that in mind I see what 11213 05:42:57,449 --> 05:42:58,151 staff has worked on is a 11214 05:42:58,151 --> 05:42:58,518 compromise that will no longer 11215 05:42:58,518 --> 05:43:00,518 be legal. 11216 05:43:02,122 --> 05:43:02,823 The worst examples that you 11217 05:43:02,823 --> 05:43:05,459 showed will no longer be legal 11218 05:43:05,459 --> 05:43:06,125 legal and that is why I support 11219 05:43:06,125 --> 05:43:08,525 the staff recommendation On 11220 05:43:10,497 --> 05:43:10,897 the second day of the motion. 11221 05:43:10,897 --> 05:43:11,598 All right. 11222 05:43:11,598 --> 05:43:12,299 We have a motion by Council 11223 05:43:12,299 --> 05:43:14,200 PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee and a 11224

marched in the streets to 11237 05:43:39,293 --> 05:43:39,993 protect this kind of dialog 11238 05:43:39,993 --> 05:43:40,660 The year the council PRESIDENT 11239 05:43:40,660 --> 05:43:43,660 For trying to run these 11240 05:43:44,464 --> 05:43:45,132 meetings and you've been doing 11241 05:43:45,132 --> 05:43:45,798 this for a couple of days 11242 05:43:45,798 --> 05:43:48,798 straight now so I appreciate 11243 05:43:49,603 --> 05:43:51,603 you as well. 11244 05:43:53,373 --> 05:43:54,410 I also do I know the folks in 11245 05:43:54,410 --> 05:43:54,741 the planning department had 11246 05:43:54,741 --> 05:43:55,442 the intent to try and provide, 11247 05:43:55,442 --> 05:43:58,442 you know, more housing that's 11248 05:43:58,679 --> 05:43:59,445 accessible for folks And what 11249 05:43:59,445 --> 05:44:02,445 we're seeing and all these 11250 05:44:03,884 --> 05:44:04,551 pictures is not what was 11251 05:44:04,551 --> 05:44:06,951 intended and is completely 11252 05:44:06,953 --> 05:44:09,953 egregious And I cannot believe 11253 05:44:11,759 --> 05:44:12,793 it happened. 11254 05:44:12,793 --> 05:44:17,330 I mean I grew up here and I 11255 05:44:17,330 --> 05:44:17,998 understand that there are tiny, 11256 05:44:17,998 --> 05:44:18,732 tiny, tiny streets where you 11257 05:44:18,732 --> 05:44:21,535 can barely fit cars through And 11258 05:44:21,535 --> 05:44:22,202 now we're going to have people 11259 05:44:22,202 --> 05:44:22,936 parking there anywhere in my 11260 05:44:22,936 --> 05:44:23,603 district and d five if you go 11261 05:44:23,603 --> 05:44:26,300 to any multifamily housing 11262 05:44:26,907 --> 05:44:27,574 which I live in you'll see cars 11263 05:44:27,574 --> 05:44:30,574 parked up along the streets 11264 05:44:31,311 --> 05:44:32,790 because people are now parking 11265 05:44:32,790 --> 05:44:32,713 in to our apartments, to our 11266 05:44:32,713 --> 05:44:35,113 houses for sharing houses 11267 05:44:36,550 --> 05:44:37,284 because they're so expensive 11268 05:44:37,284 --> 05:44:37,618 And so we need the street 11269 05:44:37,618 --> 05:44:38,319 parking. 11270 05:44:38,319 --> 05:44:38,919 The residents who already live 11271 05:44:38,919 --> 05:44:40,987 there are already using 11272 05:44:40,987 --> 05:44:41,688 the street parking which made 11273 05:44:41,688 --> 05:44:42,423 it very awkward when a bike 11274 05:44:42,423 --> 05:44:45,960 lane came in overnight and took 11275 05:44:45,960 --> 05:44:46,292 away parking from my residence 11276 05:44:46,292 --> 05:44:47,227 . 11277 05:44:47,227 --> 05:44:50,364 We need bike lanes just not in 11278 05:44:50,364 --> 05:44:53,364 the wrong places so I'm 11279 05:44:55,535 --> 05:44:56,237 supportive of the reforms in 11280 05:44:56,237 --> 05:44:57,204 this package to bring it back. 11281 05:44:57,204 --> 05:45:00,774 I do have some questions though 11282 05:45:00,774 --> 05:45:01,475 especially when it comes to 11283 05:45:01,475 --> 05:45:02,176 the high fire severity zones. 11284 05:45:02,176 --> 05:45:05,176 I mean that's something we've 11285 05:45:06,379 --> 05:45:07,810 spoken about quite a bit And 11286 05:45:07,810 --> 05:45:10,681 this letter from hpd to be 11287 05:45:11,510 --> 05:45:11,752 honest a wild I mean I've been 11288 05:45:11,752 --> 05:45:12,860 a practicing lawyer for over a 11289 05:45:12,860 --> 05:45:14,860 decade. 11290 05:45:15,922 --> 05:45:16,590 I have never seen this. 11291 05:45:16,590 --> 05:45:18,990 It's not even final. 11292 05:45:21,461 --> 05:45:21,962 It doesn't really contain a lot 11293 05:45:21,962 --> 05:45:22,563 of legal analysis. 11294 05:45:22,563 --> 05:45:23,163 I assumed it would have. 11295 05:45:23,163 --> 05:45:26,163 And also isn't the bonus 11296 05:45:26,433 --> 05:45:26,966 program a voluntary program 11297 05:45:26,966 --> 05:45:27,701 that we opted into? 11298 05:45:27,701 --> 05:45:28,535 So how are they now threatening 11299 05:45:28,535 --> 05:45:30,937 that we're not going to meet 11300 05:45:30,937 --> 05:45:31,539 our housing element if it's 11301 05:45:31,539 --> 05:45:32,173 something we opted into 11302 05:45:32,173 --> 05:45:32,740 voluntarily, why can't we 11303 05:45:32,740 --> 05:45:34,740 voluntarily repeal it? 11304 05:45:41,448 --> 05:45:42,149 Yeah, you guys don't work for 11305 05:45:42,149 --> 05:45:45,749 hpd but I'm just wondering why 11306 05:45:45,920 --> 05:45:49,520 this has come down this way. 11307 05:46:00,236 --> 05:46:00,493 Well, good evening. 11308 05:46:00,493 --> 05:46:00,670 I don't want to speculate on 11309 05:46:00,670 --> 05:46:00,846 the motivations from a State 11310 05:46:00,846 --> 05:46:01,230 Department. 11311 05:46:01,230 --> 05:46:01,202 Our staff has met with each 11312 05:46:01,202 --> 05:46:01,381 city a couple of times. 11313 05:46:01,381 --> 05:46:01,702 We had received some 11314 05:46:01,702 --> 05:46:04,102 preliminary feedback from each 11315 05:46:04,872 --> 05:46:05,439 city that we had incorporated 11316 05:46:05,439 --> 05:46:06,730 into staff's proposal. 11317 05:46:06,730 --> 05:46:09,673 We were not aware that an 11318 05:46:09,944 --> 05:46:10,278 additional letter would be sent 11319 05:46:10,278 --> 05:46:11,110 to us. 11320 05:46:11,110 --> 05:46:11,345 We nonetheless received that on 11321 05:46:11,345 --> 05:46:11,978 Friday. 11322 05:46:11,978 --> 05:46:14,978 So we have worked very 11323 05:46:15,115 --> 05:46:15,783 diligently since that time to 11324 05:46:15,783 --> 05:46:16,517 provide the response that we 11325 05:46:16,517 --> 05:46:19,517 provided to Council on Saturday 11326 05:46:20,286 --> 05:46:20,754 evening with our responses to 11327 05:46:20,754 --> 05:46:21,355 the City letter. 11328 05:46:21,355 --> 05:46:24,758 But if you have any more 11329 05:46:24,758 --> 05:46:25,626 specific questions we're happy 11330 05:46:25,626 --> 05:46:26,427 to answer them as best we can 11331 05:46:26,427 --> 05:46:29,427 understanding that we are not 11332 05:46:29,730 --> 05:46:30,264 hpd and we will have to have 11333 05:46:30,264 --> 05:46:32,264 further many further 11334 05:46:34,201 --> 05:46:35,200 conversations with the agency 11335 05:46:35,200 --> 05:46:35,770 as we move forward to ensure 11336 05:46:35,770 --> 05:46:39,370 that the city remains with a 11337 05:46:40,107 --> 05:46:40,775 housing element that's in 11338 05:46:40,775 --> 05:46:41,141 compliance as determined by 11339 05:46:41,141 --> 05:46:41,575 each city. 11340 05:46:41,575 --> 05:46:43,575 >> Understood. 11341 05:46:45,112 --> 05:46:45,513 And I want us to be in 11342 05:46:45,513 --> 05:46:46,180 compliance. 11343 05:46:46,180 --> 05:46:46,881 I'm just quite shocked that 11344 05:46:46,881 --> 05:46:49,281 something that wasn't required 11345 05:46:50,500 --> 05:46:50,851 of us that we voluntarily chose 11346 05:46:50,851 --> 05:46:51,252 Why would we be out of 11347 05:46:51,252 --> 05:46:51,552 compliance? 11348 05:46:51,552 --> 05:46:52,220 Okay. 11349 05:46:52,220 --> 05:46:53,854 I do have a question about 11350 05:46:53,854 --> 05:46:54,555 the fire setback. 11351 05:46:54,555 --> 05:46:55,255 So the proposal that your 11352 05:46:55,255 --> 05:46:57,655 department had brought forward 11353 05:46:58,693 --> 05:46:59,493 which I agreed with was that in 11354 05:46:59,493 --> 05:47:00,361 high a very high fire severity 11355 05:47:00,361 --> 05:47:03,961 zones we would be maintaining a 11356 05:47:04,332 --> 05:47:05,320 minimum setback of five feet 11357 05:47:05,320 --> 05:47:08,320 which aligns with and with 11358 05:47:08,703 --> 05:47:09,470 state law. 11359 05:47:09,470 --> 05:47:10,237 It's ab 307 forward for zone 11360 05:47:10,237 --> 05:47:13,641 zero law that a lot of my 11361 05:47:13,641 --> 05:47:14,342 residents have been putting a 11362 05:47:14,342 --> 05:47:17,942 lot of money into cutting down 11363 05:47:18,579 --> 05:47:19,380 trees pergolas moving things 11364 05:47:19,380 --> 05:47:20,140 off of their property so they 11365 05:47:20,140 --> 05:47:20,381 can have the five feet of 11366 05:47:20,381 --> 05:47:22,381 clearance. 11367 05:47:24,218 --> 05:47:24,986 They didn't want to do these 11368 05:47:24,986 --> 05:47:25,720 things but they knew when their 11369 05:47:25,720 --> 05:47:26,453 insurance companies were coming 11370 05:47:26,453 --> 05:47:28,990 and they were getting discounts 11371 05:47:28,990 --> 05:47:29,657 for this so why would we then 11372 05:47:29,657 --> 05:47:32,657 thwart all those efforts and 11373 05:47:33,930 --> 05:47:34,280 allow for fee for you to use? 11374 05:47:34,280 --> 05:47:34,662 >> So as you're aware, when we 11375 05:47:34,662 --> 05:47:36,662 originally proposed these 11376 05:47:38,499 --> 05:47:39,200 amendments at the Planning 11377 05:47:39,200 --> 05:47:39,901 Commission as well as the Land 11378 05:47:39,901 --> 05:47:42,901 Use and Housing Committee, we 11379 05:47:43,471 --> 05:47:43,905 had proposed those with five 11380 05:47:43,905 --> 05:47:44,539 foot setbacks. 11381 05:47:44,539 --> 05:47:45,206 Those were proposed to be 11382 05:47:45,206 --> 05:47:47,606 consistent with what you've 11383 05:47:48,543 --> 05:47:49,177 mentioned regarding the five 11384 05:47:49,177 --> 05:47:51,577 feet of defensible space. 11385 05:47:52,547 --> 05:47:53,247 The challenge for us is that 11386 05:47:53,247 --> 05:47:53,981 the planning and zoning law in 11387 05:47:53,981 --> 05:47:56,981 the Government code specifies a 11388 05:47:58,850 --> 05:47:58,820 maximum of four foot setbacks 11389 05:47:58,820 --> 05:48:02,420 that the city can require based 11390 05:48:03,491 --> 05:48:04,292 off of the previous letter that 11391 05:48:04,292 --> 05:48:06,927 we had from eight cd That was 11392 05:48:06,927 --> 05:48:07,795 before last Friday's letter 11393 05:48:07,795 --> 05:48:11,765 They had told us in what I 11394 05:48:11,765 --> 05:48:12,667 believed to be more firm terms 11395 05:48:12,667 --> 05:48:13,301 than a lot of the statements 11396 05:48:13,301 --> 05:48:16,301 they made in their Friday 11397 05:48:17,238 --> 05:48:18,600 letter that we would be out of 11398 05:48:18,600 --> 05:48:18,873 compliance with a new law if we 11399 05:48:18,873 --> 05:48:21,743 had that five foot setback in 11400 05:48:21,743 --> 05:48:22,343 their Our clarifications do 11401 05:48:22,343 --> 05:48:25,343 still allow for the fire 11402 05:48:26,480 --> 05:48:27,215 official to require five feet 11403 05:48:27,215 --> 05:48:30,215 or greater to ensure compliance 11404 05:48:31,419 --> 05:48:32,530 with the fire code So that's 11405 05:48:32,530 --> 05:48:34,389 the language that has been 11406 05:48:34,389 --> 05:48:35,890 proposed here is that it's four 11407 05:48:35,890 --> 05:48:38,890 feet or greater as determined 11408 05:48:39,594 --> 05:48:40,327 by the fire official. 11409 05:48:40,327 --> 05:48:40,962 I do anticipate that during 11410 05:48:40,962 --> 05:48:41,663 the fire reviews the fire 11411 05:48:41,663 --> 05:48:43,931 officials will be determining 11412 05:48:43,931 --> 05:48:44,499 that additional setbacks are 11413 05:48:44,499 --> 05:48:45,200 required to meet that 11414 05:48:45,200 --> 05:48:47,200 defensible space requirement. 11415 05:48:49,270 --> 05:48:50,710 But the feedback that we had 11416 05:48:50,710 --> 05:48:53,671 received with from each cda was 11417 05:48:54,408 --> 05:48:54,909 to remove that from our land 11418 05:48:54,909 --> 05:48:56,909 development code. 11419 05:48:59,513 --> 05:49:00,140 So in my opinion it makes it 11420 05:49:00,140 --> 05:49:00,749 more complicated. 11421 05:49:00,749 --> 05:49:01,516 It would be nice to be able to 11422 05:49:01,516 --> 05:49:04,516 have our land development could 11423 05:49:04,652 --> 05:49:05,253 be up front and provide 11424 05:49:05,253 --> 05:49:05,953 certainty on what those 11425 05:49:05,953 --> 05:49:08,953 setbacks look like rather than 11426 05:49:09,524 --> 05:49:10,580 having to wait to go into a 11427 05:49:10,580 --> 05:49:10,891 fire review process. 11428 05:49:10,891 --> 05:49:13,727 However, I did not feel that it 11429 05:49:13,727 --> 05:49:14,362 was worth the risk to submit 11430 05:49:14,362 --> 05:49:17,362 the ordinance to each city 11431 05:49:17,931 --> 05:49:18,700 given that they had in writing 11432 05:49:18,700 --> 05:49:21,700 provided us with that feedback 11433 05:49:28,276 --> 05:49:29,770 that got it within Why don't we 11434 05:49:29,770 --> 05:49:29,944 write back to hpd and ask them 11435 05:49:29,944 --> 05:49:33,544 if they're going to pay our 11436 05:49:35,883 --> 05:49:36,918 increased insurance premiums? 11437 05:49:36,918 --> 05:49:41,118 >> Um, I mean and that we would 11438 05:49:43,224 --> 05:49:43,891 be in violation of state law. 11439 05:49:43,891 --> 05:49:44,592 My residents have invested a 11440 05:49:44,592 --> 05:49:46,494 lot of money preparing their 11441 05:49:46,494 --> 05:49:47,295 houses for Zone zero and it's 11442 05:49:47,295 --> 05:49:51,833 just kind of a slap in the face 11443 05:49:51,833 --> 05:49:52,533 to them that we you know and I 11444 05:49:52,533 --> 05:49:55,533 understand that it's not your 11445 05:49:56,938 --> 05:49:57,605 fault but we why if we have to 11446 05:49:57,605 --> 05:49:58,306 comply with a state law, why 11447 05:49:58,306 --> 05:50:00,475 don't we comply with the fire 11448 05:50:00,475 --> 05:50:01,409 state law? 11449 05:50:01,409 --> 05:50:02,900 So I'd prefer we put that back 11450 05:50:02,900 --> 05:50:05,900 in here to be honest. 11451 05:50:05,880 --> 05:50:06,614 So proposal is not to not 11452 05:50:06,614 --> 05:50:10,214 comply with the fire state law. 11453 05:50:10,719 --> 05:50:13,719 It's to identify the setback 11454 05:50:15,624 --> 05:50:16,324 requirement that is set forth 11455 05:50:16,324 --> 05:50:17,250 in the government code while 11456 05:50:17,250 --> 05:50:20,250 allowing for the fire official 11457 05:50:20,862 --> 05:50:21,563 to comply with state law that 11458 05:50:21,563 --> 05:50:22,163 requires for defensible space. 11459 05:50:22,163 --> 05:50:25,163 I understand that it is 11460 05:50:25,733 --> 05:50:26,434 frustrating and overly 11461 05:50:26,434 --> 05:50:27,302 bureaucratic but that is what 11462 05:50:27,302 --> 05:50:30,390 we have to work with from 11463 05:50:30,390 --> 05:50:32,390 the state. 11464 05:50:40,549 --> 05:50:41,215 Okay I if I would prefer they 11465 05:50:41,215 --> 05:50:44,215 came down consistent as well 11466 05:50:45,387 --> 05:50:46,188 For what it's worth all right. 11467 05:50:46,188 --> 05:50:46,521 We have more questions about 11468 05:50:46,521 --> 05:50:47,155 parking. 11469 05:50:47,155 --> 05:50:48,689 We're going to require 11470 05:50:48,689 --> 05:50:51,890 developers to provide parking 11471 05:50:53,327 --> 05:50:53,895 now right? 11472 05:50:53,895 --> 05:50:54,596 That is correct. 11473 05:50:54,596 --> 05:50:57,596 Under the proposal outside of 11474 05:50:58,500 --> 05:50:59,660 the transit priority area we 11475 05:50:59,660 --> 05:50:59,734 are proposing in these 11476 05:50:59,734 --> 05:51:01,734 regulations that additional 11477 05:51:03,571 --> 05:51:04,405 parking be required. 11478 05:51:04,405 --> 05:51:07,405 We are prohibited under state 11479 05:51:09,440 --> 05:51:09,678 law which is referred to as ab 11480 05:51:09,678 --> 05:51:11,678 2097 from imposing parking 11481 05:51:13,147 --> 05:51:13,815 requirements on a wide variety 11482 05:51:13,815 --> 05:51:14,483 of development projects that 11483 05:51:14,483 --> 05:51:17,483 are located within a transit 11484 05:51:17,852 --> 05:51:18,687 priority area. 11485 05:51:18,687 --> 05:51:21,870 >> So are these amendments 11486 05:51:23,525 --> 05:51:24,192 going as far as we can and 11487 05:51:24,192 --> 05:51:26,592 requiring off street parking 11488 05:51:27,328 --> 05:51:28,300 and under law in terms of 11489 05:51:28,300 --> 05:51:31,300 the areas that we're applying 11490 05:51:32,000 --> 05:51:32,867 into we did propose them to 11491 05:51:32,867 --> 05:51:37,670 apply on all areas that are not 11492 05:51:37,306 --> 05:51:37,972 otherwise prohibited by 11493 05:51:37,972 --> 05:51:38,273 the state law under ab 2097. 11494 05:51:38,273 --> 05:51:40,273 Okay. 11495 05:51:42,711 --> 05:51:43,345 So what if there's a cold 11496 05:51:43,345 --> 05:51:45,745 attacked by neighbors for 11497 05:51:46,415 --> 05:51:46,982 better San Diego showed but you 11498 05:51:46,982 --> 05:51:47,648 can't actually get to 11499 05:51:47,648 --> 05:51:50,648 the transit unless you walk 11500 05:51:51,586 --> 05:51:52,354 around the freeway. 11501 05:51:52,354 --> 05:51:53,210 So we we did have this 11502 05:51:53,210 --> 05:51:55,421 discussion because the city 11503 05:51:56,891 --> 05:51:57,593 council did adopt what was 11504 05:51:57,593 --> 05:52:00,593 brought forward for the count 11505 05:52:01,929 --> 05:52:02,530 for the city's adoption of ab 11506 05:52:02,530 --> 05:52:03,232 nine 2097 And there was 11507 05:52:03,232 --> 05:52:06,232 the discussion of the walking 11508 05:52:07,350 --> 05:52:07,336 distance versus as the crow 11509 05:52:07,336 --> 05:52:08,360 flies. 11510 05:52:08,360 --> 05:52:10,839 The challenge that we have is 11511 05:52:10,839 --> 05:52:11,539 that where the state 11512 05:52:11,539 --> 05:52:12,400 legislature has identified in 11513 05:52:12,400 --> 05:52:12,741 other portions of 11514 05:52:12,741 --> 05:52:15,741 the government code where they 11515 05:52:16,512 --> 05:52:17,212 have intended to it for it to 11516 05:52:17,212 --> 05:52:17,812 be limited to walking distance 11517 05:52:17,812 --> 05:52:20,812 they have so stated that 11518 05:52:21,216 --> 05:52:24,216 whereas in ab 2097 the language 11519 05:52:25,820 --> 05:52:26,522 has just specified the half 11520 05:52:26,522 --> 05:52:29,522 mile distance which we haven't 11521 05:52:31,160 --> 05:52:31,893 felt like we can interpret to 11522 05:52:31,893 --> 05:52:32,494 be a walking distance given 11523 05:52:32,494 --> 05:52:33,162 that the legislature has 11524 05:52:33,162 --> 05:52:35,562 specified otherwise in other 11525 05:52:36,799 --> 05:52:37,466 sections such as sb nine I will 11526 05:52:37,466 --> 05:52:39,301 defer to the city Attorney's 11527 05:52:39,301 --> 05:52:41,701 office for any additional 11528 05:52:44,673 --> 05:52:47,730 opinions on that matter. 11529 05:52:49,378 --> 05:52:50,279 >> Okay then um it sounds like 11530 05:52:50,279 --> 05:52:50,913 we're kind of confined by a lot 11531 05:52:50,913 --> 05:52:54,513 of the things the state is 11532 05:52:55,170 --> 05:52:58,420 bringing down on us And I mean 11533 05:52:58,420 --> 05:52:58,921 I think having an edu or 2 or 3 11534 05:52:58,921 -->

use that's fine but if you 11538 05:53:04,893 --> 05:53:05,594 want to have an apartment 11539 05:53:05,594 --> 05:53:06,262 building then you should have 11540 05:53:06,262 --> 05:53:09,262 been zoned for an apartment 11541 05:53:12,670 --> 05:53:12,634 building So I know I appreciate 11542 05:53:12,634 --> 05:53:13,350 we're trying to manage 11543 05:53:13,350 --> 05:53:13,702 the meeting. 11544 05:53:13,702 --> 05:53:16,272 >> I'm trying to support my 11545 05:53:16,272 --> 05:53:19,272 council PRESIDENT Here so why 11546 05:53:21,443 --> 05:53:22,144 don't we do I'd like to put an

edu craze. 11911 06:21:48,550 --> 06:21:48,589 They described their own 11912 06:21:48,589 --> 06:21:50,989 projects as a craze. 11913 06:21:51,258 --> 06:21:55,458 I, I just want to say I've 11914

--> 06:22:05,473 out there that have been 11921 06:22:05,473 --> 06:22:05,773 advocating for this for so 11922 06:22:05,773 --> 06:22:06,541 long. 11923 06:22:06,541 --> 06:22:09,541 >> Show up, speak

11930 06:22:20,221 --> 06:22:20,989 forward with several ideas that 11931 06:22:20,989 --> 06:22:21,489 were not yet concrete at that 11932 06:22:21,489 --> 06:22:22,357 moment I voted no. 11933 06:22:22,357 --> 06:22:25,930 I was concerned that the motion 11934 06:22:25,930 --> 06:22:25,793 on the table was not only cut 11935 06:22:25,793 --> 06:22:26,494 out large parts of the program 11936 06:22:26,494 --> 06:22:29,494 without regard to what my 11937 06:22:30,164 --> 06:22:31,320 neighbors had in rs1 seven 11938 06:22:31,320 --> 06:22:34,632 zones but I was also concerned 11939 06:22:35,203 --> 06:22:35,936 that the idea did risk putting 11940 06:22:35,936 --> 06:22:39,536 the city out of compliance with 11941 06:22:39,741 --> 06:22:40,442 our housing element and that we 11942 06:22:40,442 --> 06:22:41,750 this weekend the concerns were 11943 06:22:41,750 --> 06:22:43,750 echoed significantly when 11944 06:22:44,780 --> 06:22:44,879 receive that letter from hcd 11945

06:22:46,981 --> 06:22:49,684 threat or not but I don't think 11949 06:22:49,684 --> 06:22:50,352 they sent us a letter without 11950 06:22:50,352 --> 06:22:51,119 serious reasons And I'm very 11951 06:22:51,119 --> 06:22:53,854 i'm going to be listening to 11952 06:22:53,854 --> 06:22:54,556 what our city attorney tells us 11953 06:22:54,556 --> 06:22:57,556 when that comes forward later 11954 06:22:58,626 --> 06:22:59,293 similar to what the coastal 11955 06:22:59,293 --> 06:22:59,994 Commission Council PRESIDENT 11956 06:22:59,994 --> 06:23:00,729 Brought up coastal commission 11957

06:23:45,841 the state tells us it's just 11983 06:23:45,841 --> 06:23:46,541 not feasible as much as I'm 11984 06:23:46,541 --> 06:23:47,242 worried about that though it's 11985 06:23:47,242 --> 06:23:47,943 important to be reasonable and 11986 06:23:47,943 --> 06:23:50,943 open minded to integrating as 11987 06:23:51,246 --> 06:23:51,880 many ideas from the public as 11988 06:23:51,880 --> 06:23:53,880 possible because unchecked 11989 06:23:56,284 --> 06:23:56,985 density has created real risk. 11990 06:23:56,985 --> 06:23:57,686 The projects I've seen as part 11991 06:23:57,686 --> 06:23:58,386 of this program have violated 11992 06:23:58,386 --> 06:24:00,589 the spirit of what the program 11993 06:24:00,589 --> 06:24:01,255 was supposed to be about 11994 06:24:01,255 --> 06:24:04,255 Investors that don't have to 11995 06:24:05,360 --> 06:24:06,940 live with the end result And 11996 06:24:06,940 --> 06:24:06,795 thank you to the District seven 11997 06:24:06,795 -->

district there are 12001 06:24:15,170 --> 06:24:15,837 several numerous 82 projects 12002 06:24:15,837 --> 06:24:16,504 including Newbold Court and 12003 06:24:16,504 --> 06:24:19,504 Linda Vista and Twain Avenue 12004 06:24:19,874 --> 06:24:20,508 and Allied Gardens that have 12005 06:24:20,508 --> 06:24:21,143 generated a great deal of 12006 06:24:21,143 --> 06:24:23,712 concern And I've gone past 12007 06:24:23,712 --> 06:24:24,479 those locations personally I've 12008 06:24:24,479 --> 06:24:25,180 asked my staff to visit and 12009 06:24:25,180 --> 06:24:25,781 meet the people who live there 12010 06:24:25,781 --> 06:24:28,181 and those neighbors are 12011 06:24:29,184 --> 06:24:29,751 rightfully concerned because 12012 06:24:29,751 --> 06:24:30,418 they care about their 12013 06:24:30,418 --> 06:24:32,818 neighborhoods and they care 12014 06:24:34,155 --> 06:24:34,856 about their neighbors and I 12015 06:24:34,856 --> 06:24:35,523 think it's very, very obvious 12016 06:24:35,523 --> 06:24:38,523 that the people sitting out 12017 06:24:39,427 --> 06:24:40,940 there are open to change but 12018 06:24:40,940 --> 06:24:40,729 wanted to be part of 12019 06:24:40,729 --> 06:24:43,729 the process from the very 12020 06:24:44,466 --> 06:24:45,100 beginning rules that made sense 12021 06:24:45,100 --> 06:24:45,767 not just to protect their 12022 06:24:45,767 --> 06:24:48,503 families but also to protect 12023 06:24:48,503 --> 06:24:49,204 the families of the people who 12024 06:24:49,204 --> 06:24:49,871 were going to move in. 12025 06:24:49,871 --> 06:24:50,538 It's not just the folks who 12026 06:24:50,538 --> 06:24:53,538 already live there that are 12027 06:24:54,242 --> 06:24:54,610 saying this is a risk to me and 12028 06:24:54,610 --> 06:24:55,310 my family. 12029 06:24:55,310 --> 06:24:55,877 It's the people when they come 12030 06:24:55,877 --> 06:24:56,246 in that's going to be 12031 06:24:56,246 --> 06:24:58,246 troubling. 12032 06:24:59,470 --> 06:24:59,747 So these changes that been 12033 06:24:59,747 --> 06:25:00,382 brought forward numerous thank 12034 06:25:00,382 --> 06:25:03,982 you to our city staff for 12035

06:25:09,524 --> 06:25:10,192 us from creating what I think 12039 06:25:10,192 --> 06:25:11,930 is an ideal program based on 12040 06:25:11,930 --> 06:25:13,662 what we saw in the city letter 12041 06:25:13,662 --> 06:25:14,396 and and other issues there. 12042 06:25:14,396 --> 06:25:17,996 But let's just take a quick 12043 06:25:18,299 --> 06:25:19,100 look at the wins for San Diego 12044

06:25:24,373 --> 06:25:26,373 dangerous zones excluding 12048 06:25:29,411 --> 06:25:30,112 environmentally sensitive lands 12049 06:25:30,112 --> 06:25:30,779 and canyons because Technology 12050

district is along 12061 06:25:43,959 --> 06:25:47,620 a watershed which I think is 12062 06:25:47,620 --> 06:25:47,763 practically everybody requiring 12063 06:25:47,763 --> 06:25:48,960 the off

in the ordinance So we 12170 06:29:07,630 --> 06:29:10,630 will probably need to take 12171 06:29:12,434 --> 06:29:13,102 another quick recess to draft 12172 06:29:13,102 --> 06:29:13,369 that language and distribute 12173 06:29:13,369 --> 06:29:13,669 it. 12174 06:29:13,669 --> 06:29:14,503 Okay. 12175 06:29:14,503 --> 06:29:16,973 I will conclude my comments so 12176 06:29:16,973 --> 06:29:20,573 that we can just get through 12177 06:29:21,477 --> 06:29:21,811 this a little bit more quickly 12178 06:29:21,811 --> 06:29:23,811 . 12179 06:29:27,250 --> 06:29:27,983 >> I want to just touch base on 12180 06:29:27,983 --> 06:29:28,317 the separate sale of ada use if 12181 06:29:28,317 --> 06:29:28,984 I could. 12182 06:29:28,984 --> 06:29:31,984 >> You're going to need a 12183 06:29:32,188 --> 06:29:33,540 little bit more time. 12184 06:29:33,540 --> 06:29:33,723 >> Is there anyone who can give 12185 06:29:33,723 --> 06:29:34,257 me two more minutes please? 12186 06:29:34,257 --> 06:29:37,257 Do I have any time? 12187 06:29:37,259 --> 06:29:37,960 No thank you. 12188 06:29:37,960 --> 06:29:38,628 >> Councilmember Weber and I 12189 06:29:38,628 --> 06:29:40,628 expressed hesitation around 12190 06:29:42,799 --> 06:29:43,498 the separate sale of 80 use and 12191 06:29:43,498 --> 06:29:46,903 I'm there intended to be first 12192 06:29:46,903 --> 06:29:47,670 time home buying opportunities 12193 06:29:47,670 --> 06:29:48,438 that don't exist in our market. 12194 06:29:48,438 --> 06:29:50,907 I'm glad to see the 30 day 12195 06:29:50,907 --> 06:29:51,607 priority for home owner 12196 06:29:51,607 --> 06:29:52,274 occupant to ensure that we're 12197 06:29:52,274 --> 06:29:52,942 supporting families, seniors 12198 06:29:52,942 --> 06:29:56,179 and young people who want to 12199 06:29:56,179 --> 06:29:56,879 enter the housing market and 12200 06:29:56,879 --> 06:29:57,547 not inadvertently create more 12201 06:29:57,547 --> 06:29:58,380 opportunities for investors. 12202 06:29:58,380 --> 06:30:01,584 But I have to say that I have 12203 06:30:01,584 --> 06:30:02,318 significant doubts that 12204 06:30:02,318 --> 06:30:05,288 divisible sellable use will end 12205 06:30:05,288 --> 06:30:05,989 up as lower priced owner 12206 06:30:05,989 --> 06:30:06,556 occupied properties And here's 12207 06:30:06,556 --> 06:30:08,956 why we aren't changing 12208 06:30:10,827 --> 06:30:11,460 the market Reality that we see 12209 06:30:11,460 --> 06:30:12,128 right now already which is 12210 06:30:12,128 --> 06:30:15,128 investors with more cash out 12211 06:30:15,897 --> 06:30:16,366 compete Ordinary people who 12212 06:30:16,366 --> 06:30:17,660 have less cash. 12213 06:30:17,660 --> 06:30:20,200 So I'm worried about this too. 12214 06:30:20,200 --> 06:30:20,436 Today 82 developers often play 12215 06:30:20,436 --> 06:30:21,103 the long game. 12216 06:30:21,103 --> 06:30:23,640 They wait 15 years to recoup 12217 06:30:23,640 --> 06:30:24,406 costs through rent if they 12218 06:30:24,406 --> 06:30:24,807 maintain it and rent it out 12219 06:30:24,807 --> 06:30:25,675 themselves. 12220 06:30:25,675 --> 06:30:29,178 But if if they can sell units 12221 06:30:29,178 --> 06:30:29,812 outright that profit comes 12222 06:30:29,812 --> 06:30:30,480 faster and easier and that 12223 06:30:30,480 --> 06:30:33,383 shift could drive up land 12224 06:30:33,383 --> 06:30:33,750 prices and shut families out 12225 06:30:33,750 --> 06:30:34,484 right now. 12226 06:30:34,484 --> 06:30:37,987 So if they are sellable they 12227 06:30:37,987 --> 06:30:38,688 could investors could recover 12228 06:30:38,688 --> 06:30:39,880 their profits far quicker with 12229 06:30:39,880 --> 06:30:39,789 less effort. 12230 06:30:39,789 --> 06:30:42,789 Doesn't that cause land prices 12231 06:30:43,526 --> 06:30:44,293 to spike, not settle? 12232 06:30:44,293 --> 06:30:45,161 So I'm not convinced about this 12233 06:30:45,161 --> 06:30:48,564 idea And though it's in this 12234 06:30:48,564 --> 06:30:49,332 package with a lot of good 12235 06:30:49,332 --> 06:30:50,320 ideas, I just want to state on 12236 06:30:50,320 --> 06:30:50,633 the record I'm not in support 12237 06:30:50,633 --> 06:30:53,330 of that particular idea. 12238 06:30:53,536 --> 06:30:54,370 I think it will backfire. 12239 06:30:54,370 --> 06:30:57,370 The last point here what 12240 06:30:57,607 --> 06:30:58,374 the 40s I have whatever rules 12241 06:30:58,374 --> 06:31:02,545 that are put in place today we 12242 06:31:02,545 --> 06:31:02,912 have to enforce them very 12243 06:31:02,912 --> 06:31:03,713 strictly. 12244 06:31:03,713 --> 06:31:04,247 When I learned that 80 use were 12245 06:31:04,247 --> 06:31:06,247 being built without 12246 06:31:07,250 --> 06:31:08,170 the required sidewalks leading 12247 06:31:08,170 --> 06:31:08,584 all the way to them, I couldn't 12248 06:31:08,584 --> 06:31:09,850 think of anything more 12249 06:31:09,850 --> 06:31:09,752 upsetting because 12250 06:31:09,752 --> 06:31:12,152 the neighborhood is deprived 12251 06:31:12,756 --> 06:31:13,456 and soon the new residents 12252 06:31:13,456 --> 06:31:14,157 would be deprived of something 12253 06:31:14,157 --> 06:31:14,523 so basic that the city says is 12254 06:31:14,523 --> 06:31:16,523 necessary. 12255 06:31:17,627 --> 06:31:18,600 So we should not let that 12256 06:31:18,600 --> 06:31:18,762 happen again. 12257 06:31:18,762 --> 06:31:21,797 And last thing to the crowd I 12258 06:31:21,797 --> 06:31:22,498 don't want anyone here to think 12259 06:31:22,498 --> 06:31:26,980 I don't think us passing this 12260 06:31:26,769 --> 06:31:27,536 is doing you a favor. 12261 06:31:27,536 --> 06:31:28,710 >> We should have done this 12262 06:31:28,710 --> 06:31:28,438 from the beginning. 12263 06:31:28,438 --> 06:31:30,438 Thank you. 12264 06:31:32,142 --> 06:31:32,842 And all right. 12265 06:31:32,842 --> 06:31:33,510 Thank you, Councilmember Campo 12266 06:31:33,510 --> 06:31:36,510 while they're still Are you 12267 06:31:36,680 --> 06:31:38,680 still working? 12268 06:31:42,152 --> 06:31:42,919 >> Before I go to council 12269 06:31:42,919 --> 06:31:45,319 member Whitburn, I have 12270 06:31:46,156 --> 06:31:46,456 the motion to take it down to 12271 06:31:46,456 --> 06:31:47,156 four. 12272 06:31:47,156 --> 06:31:47,857 Are there any deed restricted 12273 06:31:47,857 --> 06:31:49,960 units that will actually come 12274 06:31:49,960 --> 06:31:52,960 out of this any more? 12275 06:31:55,432 --> 06:31:56,980 So the way that the language is 12276 06:31:56,980 --> 06:31:58,968 written is that there's one 12277 06:31:58,968 --> 06:31:59,735 additional market rate to you 12278 06:31:59,735 --> 06:32:02,735 per affordable 80 You we would 12279 06:32:04,740 --> 06:32:04,674 interpret that to mean that if 12280 06:32:04,674 --> 06:32:07,740 you're adding more than 12281 06:32:09,212 --> 06:32:09,913 the state required that that 12282 06:32:09,913 --> 06:32:12,615 one would be deed restricted. 12283 06:32:12,615 --> 06:32:13,316 Okay so out of the four one 12284 06:32:13,316 --> 06:32:16,316 would still be deed restricted 12285 06:32:17,754 --> 06:32:18,454 that would be the effect of 12286 06:32:18,454 --> 06:32:18,988 the program With the amendment 12287 06:32:18,988 --> 06:32:19,455 With the amendment. 12288 06:32:19,455 --> 06:32:21,455 >> Okay, great. 12289 06:32:22,359 --> 06:32:23,580 Thank you for that. 12290 06:32:23,580 --> 06:32:23,326 Councilmember Whitburn Thank 12291

06:32:29,650 I was going to ask. 12295 06:32:29,650 --> 06:32:31,634 I'll I guess ask for a little 12296 06:32:31,634 --> 06:32:32,302 bit more on that because it's 12297 06:32:32,302 --> 06:32:35,302 one of the consistent themes 12298 06:32:36,573 --> 06:32:37,207 that we've heard is a lot of 12299 06:32:37,207 --> 06:32:40,207 interest in the truly deed 12300 06:32:41,711 --> 06:32:42,112 restricted rent kept affordable 12301 06:32:42,112 --> 06:32:42,879 to use. 12302 06:32:42,879 --> 06:32:45,982 I think you mentioned that over 12303 06:32:45,982 --> 06:32:46,850 the last three years we've seen 12304 06:32:46,850 --> 06:32:47,583 something like 90 or 100 a year 12305 06:32:47,583 --> 06:32:48,284 is I am I remember what you 12306 06:32:48,284 --> 06:32:51,870 said there correctly How many 12307 06:32:51,870 --> 06:32:51,388 have we done in the last few 12308 06:32:51,388 --> 06:32:52,880 years? 12309 06:32:52,880 --> 06:32:52,622 We have permanent over 300 in 12310 06:32:52,622 --> 06:32:55,220 the last four years. 12311 06:32:55,250 --> 06:32:57,250 That's 2021 through 2024. 12312 06:33:00,763 --> 06:33:01,131 >> Okay, 92. 12313 06:33:01,131 --> 06:33:03,131 Thank you. 12314 06:33:05,368 --> 06:33:05,769 All right, good. 12315 06:33:05,769 --> 06:33:06,535 It's late. 12316 06:33:06,535 --> 06:33:07,537 My bath wasn't quite that fast. 12317 06:33:07,537 --> 06:33:09,373 Okay, so we we did about 92 a 12318 06:33:09,373 --> 06:33:10,730 year so if we go with 12319 06:33:10,730 --> 06:33:13,673 the motion that's on the floor 12320 06:33:14,110 --> 06:33:14,811 which is a cap of four across 12321 06:33:14,811 --> 06:33:17,811 the board, what would be 12322 06:33:19,149 --> 06:33:19,815 the impact on the production of 12323 06:33:19,815 --> 06:33:22,215 deed restricted rent capped 12324 06:33:23,553 --> 06:33:24,254 affordable to use The answer to 12325 06:33:24,254 --> 06:33:27,254 that is a little complicated. 12326 06:33:28,492 --> 06:33:29,192 We don't know the data that 12327 06:33:29,192 --> 06:33:29,926 we've shared with you is data 12328 06:33:29,926 --> 06:33:33,363 that's based off of the program 12329 06:33:33,363 -->

06:33:38,869 would know is that we would 12333 06:33:38,869 --> 06:33:39,535 monitor the program and that 12334 06:33:39,535 --> 06:33:41,935 information would be shared 12335 06:33:43,730 --> 06:33:43,739 publicly through what we call 12336 06:33:43,739 --> 06:33:44,740 our annual report on homes. 12337 06:33:44,740 --> 06:33:44,440 >> Okay. 12338 06:33:44,440 --> 06:33:44,808 Thank you.

06:34:08,632 --> 06:34:11,320 I've long expressed strong 12353 06:34:12,836 --> 06:34:13,536 support for finding ways to 12354 06:34:13,536 --> 06:34:14,271 build more housing throughout 12355 06:34:14,271 --> 06:34:17,139 the city that is accessible and 12356 06:34:17,139 --> 06:34:17,841 affordable to all San Diegans. 12357 06:34:17,841 --> 06:34:18,709 Not everybody could afford to 12358 06:34:18,709 --> 06:34:22,309 buy a house or were fortunate 12359 06:34:22,679 --> 06:34:26,879 enough to buy one in the 1980s 12360 06:34:27,184 --> 06:34:27,884 Rental rate rental rates remain 12361 06:34:27,884 --> 06:34:28,652 very high which put many San 12362 06:34:28,652 --> 06:34:32,252 Diegans in a tough spot where 12363 06:34:32,356 --> 06:34:33,123 they're focused they're forced 12364 06:34:33,123 --> 06:34:37,930 to pay high rent for homes that 12365 06:34:37,930 --> 06:34:37,728 might not fit the need 12366 06:34:37,728 --> 06:34:38,729 the needs of their family. 12367 06:34:38,729 --> 06:34:41,965 This is why since I was elected 12368 06:34:41,965 --> 06:34:42,666 in 2018 I've looked at every 12369 06:34:42,666 --> 06:34:45,666 avenue possible to build more 12370 06:34:46,903 --> 06:34:47,604 homes across the city because 12371 06:34:47,604 --> 06:34:51,804 it is the only way we're going 12372 06:34:51,841 --> 06:34:52,609 to address our housing crisis. 12373 06:34:52,609 --> 06:34:53,310 We spent a lot of time 12374 06:34:53,310 --> 06:34:55,310 developing 80 new regulations 12375 06:34:56,779 --> 06:34:57,648 in the Housing Legisla ation 12376 06:34:57,648 --> 06:35:00,648 Code Update in 2020 the Housing 12377 06:35:01,510 --> 06:35:03,451 Action package in 2021 and 2022 12378 06:35:05,889 --> 06:35:06,589 as well as other policies meant 12379 06:35:06,589 --> 06:35:08,989 to generally increase housing 12380 06:35:10,561 --> 06:35:11,128 opportunities for San Diegans 12381 06:35:11,128 --> 06:35:11,795 such as multiple land 12382 06:35:11,795 --> 06:35:14,195 development code updates and 12383 06:35:15,698 --> 06:35:16,166 affordable housing preservation 12384 06:35:16,166 --> 06:35:16,867 ordinance. 12385 06:35:16,867 --> 06:35:19,867 These have all helped increase 12386 06:35:21,380 --> 06:35:23,438 housing supply in 2021 over 12387 06:35:24,541 --> 06:35:26,541 5000 since 2021 over 5780 use 12388 06:35:29,279 --> 06:35:29,713 have been built that families 12389 06:35:29,713 --> 06:35:31,713 live in today. 12390 06:35:33,884 --> 06:35:34,585 That's incredibly meaningful to 12391 06:35:34,585 --> 06:35:35,252 the people who live in those 12392 06:35:35,252 --> 06:35:36,120 homes now And I'm glad that 12393 06:35:36,120 --> 06:35:38,322 they have been built But it's 12394 06:35:38,322 --> 06:35:39,550 not enough. 12395 06:35:39,550 --> 06:35:39,623 We still need more housing for 12396 06:35:39,623 --> 06:35:41,623 families particularly 12397 06:35:43,426 --> 06:35:43,894 affordable housing and middle 12398 06:35:43,894 --> 06:35:44,628 income housing. 12399 06:35:44,628 --> 06:35:47,628 Some of the proposed amendments 12400 06:35:48,732 --> 06:35:49,400 have been called into question 12401 06:35:49,400 --> 06:35:53,000 In the JUNE 13th letter from 12402 06:35:53,237 --> 06:35:53,971 the State Department of Housing 12403 06:35:53,971 --> 06:35:54,638 and Community Development And I 12404 06:35:54,638 --> 06:35:54,972 do agree with some of these 12405 06:35:54,972 --> 06:35:56,972 points. 12406 06:35:57,741 --> 06:35:58,442 I was glad to see some 12407 06:35:58,442 --> 06:36:01,442 revisions in response to these 12408 06:36:02,713 --> 06:36:03,413 letter especially adjusting 12409 06:36:03,413 --> 06:36:07,130 the amendment to allow the age 12410 06:36:07,818 --> 06:36:08,519 edu home density bonus program 12411 06:36:08,519 --> 06:36:12,220 to apply in high and highest 12412 06:36:12,220 --> 06:36:12,756 resource areas within the zones 12413 06:36:12,756 --> 06:36:13,490 being removed from the program. 12414 06:36:13,490 --> 06:36:17,900 I was also glad to see 12415 06:36:17,161 --> 06:36:17,795 the changes clarifying that 12416 06:36:17,795 --> 06:36:20,195 replacement parking is not 12417 06:36:22,266 --> 06:36:22,933 required in any addition in any 12418 06:36:22,933 --> 06:36:23,601 situation where an uncovered 12419 06:36:23,601 --> 06:36:26,601 parking space is removed to 12420 06:36:26,770 --> 06:36:27,638 build an adu However, I do 12421 06:36:27,638 --> 06:36:31,341 agree on the point by age cd 12422 06:36:31,341 --> 06:36:32,750 that the Home Density Bonus 12423 06:36:32,750 --> 06:36:35,675 program is an important part of 12424 06:36:36,280 --> 06:36:36,913 our housing element and that 12425 06:36:36,913 --> 06:36:40,351 the city relied in part on 12426 06:36:40,351 --> 06:36:41,840 the program to satisfy the four 12427 06:36:41,840 --> 06:36:41,718 admittedly further fair housing 12428 06:36:41,718 --> 06:36:44,118 requirement of the housing 12429 06:36:45,423 --> 06:36:46,123 element and that the adu bonus 12430 06:36:46,123 --> 06:36:49,123 program is a meaningful action 12431 06:36:50,261 --> 06:36:50,727 to address multiple fair 12432 06:36:50,727 --> 06:36:51,395 housing issues. 12433 06:36:51,395 --> 06:36:53,795 I was particularly concerned 12434 06:36:55,700 --> 06:36:56,400 with the section titled General 12435 06:36:56,400 --> 06:36:59,400 affo Obligation in the letter 12436 06:37:00,704 --> 06:37:01,272 that states the changes raised 12437 06:37:01,272 --> 06:37:03,272 concern about whether 12438 06:37:04,442 --> 06:37:05,109 the amended provisions are 12439 06:37:05,109 --> 06:37:05,743 materially inconsistent with 12440 06:37:05,743 --> 06:37:08,143 the city's obligation to 12441 06:37:10,810 --> 06:37:10,414 affirmatively furthering fair 12442 06:37:10,414 --> 06:37:11,115 housing. 12443 06:37:11,115 --> 06:37:14,715 It's a valid point because at 12444 06:37:14,818 --> 06:37:15,486 the end of the day these 12445 06:37:15,486 --> 06:37:16,153 amendments, these amendments 12446 06:37:16,153 --> 06:37:19,423 make it harder to build more 12447 06:37:19,423 --> 06:37:20,910 adu homes in many areas of San 12448 06:37:20,910 --> 06:37:23,910 Diego to address our housing 12449 06:37:24,362 --> 06:37:25,129 crises and to make sure there 12450 06:37:25,129 --> 06:37:26,130 are homes to live in For all 12451 06:37:26,130 --> 06:37:29,601 San Diegans it is my job to 12452 06:37:29,601 --> 06:37:29,933 make it easier to build more 12453 06:37:29,933 --> 06:37:30,801 housing. 12454 06:37:30,801 --> 06:37:34,401 I do not want to reduce 12455 06:37:34,572 --> 06:37:35,239 the tools at our disposal that 12456 06:37:35,239 --> 06:37:38,239 help us build more housing. 12457 06:37:39,476 --> 06:37:40,177 The adu density bonus program 12458 06:37:40,177 --> 06:37:43,581 is one tool that created more 12459 06:37:43,581 --> 06:37:44,282 housing and these changes make 12460 06:37:44,282 --> 06:37:44,949 it less effective and limits 12461 06:37:44,949 --> 06:37:47,349 our ability to affirmatively 12462 06:37:48,919 --> 06:37:49,253 affirmatively further fair 12463 06:37:49,253 --> 06:37:49,987 housing. 12464 06:37:49,987 --> 06:37:53,587 The Staff report and the letter 12465 06:37:54,525 --> 06:37:55,226 from hcd mentioned that since 12466 06:37:55,226 --> 06:37:58,826 the city adopted the adu home 12467 06:37:59,960 --> 06:37:59,864 density bonus program it's 12468 06:37:59,864 --> 06:38:02,264 resulted in 875 adus permitted 12469 06:38:04,334 --> 06:38:05,690 with 365 of those having 12470 06:38:05,690 --> 06:38:07,690 affordability restrictions That 12471 06:38:09,540 --> 06:38:13,140 is significant and I don't want 12472 06:38:14,178 --> 06:38:14,846 to lose that momentum according 12473 06:38:14,846 --> 06:38:15,546 to the Planning Department's 12474 06:38:15,546 --> 06:38:18,546 2024 report on homes the city 12475 06:38:19,816 --> 06:38:22,216 has permitted 23.8% of homes 12476 06:38:23,488 --> 06:38:25,888 allocated through the regional 12477 06:38:27,759 --> 06:38:28,359 housing needs assessment 12478 06:38:28,359 --> 06:38:30,359 between 2020 and 2023 of 12479 06:38:32,696 --> 06:38:33,664 the 25,692 new homes permitted 12480 06:38:33,664 --> 06:38:36,640 between 2020 and 2023 the city 12481 06:38:37,268 --> 06:38:39,668 has permitted 4879 low income 12482 06:38:42,240 --> 06:38:44,640 and moderate income homes. 12483 06:38:44,975 --> 06:38:45,643 Meanwhile there have been 12484 06:38:45,643 --> 06:38:47,643 20,814 above moderate income 12485 06:38:50,681 --> 06:38:51,282 homes built and I will need my 12486 06:38:51,282 --> 06:38:51,950 extra 33 minutes please. 12487 06:38:51,950 --> 06:38:54,350 I think everybody can 12488 06:38:55,553 --> 06:38:56,253 acknowledge that the city needs 12489 06:38:56,253 --> 06:38:56,954 more homes that are affordable 12490 06:38:56,954 --> 06:38:59,858 to everyday working people and 12491 06:38:59,858 --> 06:39:00,257 less luxury homes built for 12492 06:39:00,257 --> 06:39:02,257 the wealthy. 12493 06:39:04,861 --> 06:39:07,861 80 Use help fill that gap 12494 06:39:08,566 --> 06:39:09,333 The city would will need to 12495 06:39:09,333 --> 06:39:11,733 permit 82,344 more homes to 12496 06:39:13,972 --> 06:39:14,272 meet the rent allocation by 12497 06:39:14,272 --> 06:39:14,973 2029. 12498 06:39:14,973 --> 06:39:17,973 If these amendments are passed 12499 06:39:18,843 --> 06:39:19,711 we will likely fall further 12500 06:39:19,711 --> 06:39:23,214 behind in our goals to reach 12501 06:39:23,214 --> 06:39:24,480 those numbers. 12502 06:39:24,480 --> 06:39:24,781 >> Now when my three year old 12503 06:39:24,781 --> 06:39:28,119 daughter is an adult I want her 12504 06:39:28,119 --> 06:39:28,920 and everyone in her generation 12505 06:39:28,920 --> 06:39:29,353 to have the opportunity to live 12506 06:39:29,353 --> 06:39:31,353 in San Diego. 12507 06:39:33,657 --> 06:39:34,425 That means we need to do all we 12508 06:39:34,425 --> 06:39:37,425 can now to increase housing 12509 06:39:38,796 --> 06:39:39,564 supply If we move backwards 12510 06:39:39,564 --> 06:39:43,164 today in allowing more homes to 12511 06:39:43,434 --> 06:39:44,402 be built. 12512 06:39:44,402 --> 06:39:47,505 I very much fear that in 20 or 12513 06:39:47,505 --> 06:39:48,406 30 years our housing crisis 12514 06:39:48,406 --> 06:39:52,606 will be even worse than it is 12515 06:39:52,911 --> 06:39:53,711 today And people who were born 12516 06:39:53,711 --> 06:39:54,412 and raised here in San Diego 12517 06:39:54,412 --> 06:39:55,280 will have to leave in order to 12518 06:39:55,280 --> 06:39:58,160 live in a home they could 12519 06:39:58,160 --> 06:39:58,883 afford. 12520 06:39:58,883 --> 06:39:59,484 >> Ultimately my goal is to 12521 06:39:59,484 --> 06:40:01,484 encourage building more 12522 06:40:03,454 --> 06:40:04,155 affordable housing while 12523 06:40:04,155 --> 06:40:07,155 preventing abuse of the city's 12524 06:40:08,493 --> 06:40:09,327 optional adu density program. 12525 06:40:09,327 --> 06:40:12,327 These changes go far beyond 12526 06:40:13,665 --> 06:40:16,650 addressing these bad actors. 12527 06:40:17,535 --> 06:40:18,103 Finally in Cdw's discussion of 12528 06:40:18,103 --> 06:40:18,703 item 14 which removes 12529 06:40:18,703 --> 06:40:21,103 the program from various 12530 06:40:22,140 --> 06:40:24,540 residential zones, they say 12531 06:40:26,744 --> 06:40:27,445 that the amendment to 12532 06:40:27,445 --> 06:40:29,845 eligibility criteria appear to 12533 06:40:32,116 --> 06:40:32,751 go much further than addressing 12534 06:40:32,751 --> 06:40:35,151 those concerns by removing 12535 06:40:36,254 --> 06:40:36,888 eligibility from 20% of 12536 06:40:36,888 --> 06:40:39,888 the area where fewer units 12537 06:40:41,293 --> 06:40:41,993 would be allowed in the first 12538 06:40:41,993 --> 06:40:44,993 place and by imposing prohibit 12539 06:40:46,231 --> 06:40:46,932 prohibitive restrictions on 12540 06:40:46,932 --> 06:40:47,232 the remainder of all eligible 12541 06:40:47,232 --> 06:40:49,232 sites. 12542 06:40:50,701 --> 06:40:51,403 >> I very much agree with that 12543 06:40:51,403 --> 06:40:52,170 statement and as such I will 12544 06:40:52,170 --> 06:40:55,770 not be voting in favor of 12545 06:40:55,873 --> 06:40:56,340 the motion before us today. 12546 06:40:56,340 --> 06:40:57,800 >> Thank you. 12547 06:40:57,800 --> 06:40:57,375 That concludes my comments. 12548 06:40:57,375 --> 06:40:57,742 All right. 12549 06:40:57,742 --> 06:40:59,742 Thank you. 12550 06:41:00,979 --> 06:41:01,646 Council member Moreno. 12551 06:41:01,646 --> 06:41:02,447 Are we still working on 12552 06:41:02,447 --> 06:41:05,550 the language or do we have 12553 06:41:05,550 --> 06:41:06,219 something we can put up on 12554 06:41:06,219 --> 06:41:09,819 the screen that it was sent? 12555 06:41:10,200 --> 06:41:10,821 Okay. 12556 06:41:10,821 --> 06:41:11,523 >> If the city attorney could 12557 06:41:11,523 --> 06:41:14,523 clarify what the changes would 12558 06:41:15,259 --> 06:41:15,760 be for the Councilmember and 12559 06:41:15,760 --> 06:41:18,160 see if he accepts. 12560 06:41:20,970 --> 06:41:20,865 >> Absolutely within 12561 06:41:20,865 --> 06:41:24,465 the ordinance it would be a 12562 06:41:24,769 --> 06:41:26,769 change to section 141.0302 12563 06:41:28,707 --> 06:41:29,307 subsection d subsection nine be 12564

06:41:51,997 very high moderate district. 12574 06:41:51,997 --> 06:41:52,764 >> Yes, very good. 12575 06:41:52,764 --> 06:41:56,364 That's what I was looking for. 12576 06:41:56,802 --> 06:41:59,202 Thank you so much. 12577 06:42:02,700 --> 06:42:02,407 They're going to put that up on 12578 06:42:02,407 --> 06:42:04,407 the screen. 12579 06:42:05,510 --> 06:42:06,144 So that only applies to income 12580 06:42:06,144 --> 06:42:06,444 restricted units in those 12581 06:42:06,444 --> 06:42:08,444 areas. 12582 06:42:11,216 --> 06:42:11,583 Yes. 12583 06:42:11,583 --> 06:42:11,983 Okay. 12584 06:42:11,983 --> 06:42:12,684 Not well. 12585 06:42:12,684 --> 06:42:15,840 So just for clarification, 12586 06:42:15,320 --> 06:42:15,787 income restricted at the low or 12587 06:42:15,787 --> 06:42:16,121 very low levels. 12588 06:42:16,121 --> 06:42:16,521 >> Low. 12589 06:42:16,521 --> 06:42:18,521 Very low. 12590 06:42:20,559 --> 06:42:22,559 Right. 12591 06:42:23,762 --> 06:42:28,562 I'll wait for that to go up on 12592 06:42:29,234 --> 06:42:29,667 the screen I will add I 12593 06:42:29,667 --> 06:42:31,667 appreciate it. 12594 06:42:33,504 --> 06:42:34,273 Councilmember Temple's comments 12595 06:42:34,273 --> 06:42:35,400 about how he's going to react. 12596 06:42:35,400 --> 06:42:38,400 I appreciate the huge numbers 12597 06:42:39,144 --> 06:42:39,678 that were generated over 12598 06:42:39,678 --> 06:42:40,378 the past four years. 12599 06:42:40,378 --> 06:42:43,378 We can be proud about 12600 06:42:43,882 --> 06:42:44,649 the numbers. 12601 06:42:44,649 --> 06:42:45,350 i don't think anybody should be 12602 06:42:45,350 --> 06:42:45,751 proud about how we got to 12603 06:42:45,751 --> 06:42:47,751 the numbers. 12604 06:42:48,320 --> 06:42:49,200 I think the abuse of projects 12605 06:42:49,200 --> 06:42:51,420 that we everybody articulated 12606 06:42:53,525 --> 06:42:56,525 and described contributed a lot 12607 06:42:57,129 --> 06:42:57,996 to those not the one The three 12608 06:42:57,996 --> 06:42:58,696 unit 80 used That seemed to be 12609 06:42:58,696 --> 06:43:01,696 the vast majority of projects 12610 06:43:02,934 --> 06:43:06,534 going forward I remain a little 12611 06:43:07,539 --> 06:43:08,340 bit concerned that we MAY have 12612 06:43:08,340 --> 06:43:08,707 rolled this back a little bit 12613 06:43:08,707 --> 06:43:09,675 too much. 12614 06:43:09,675 --> 06:43:12,977 I think there might be a middle 12615 06:43:12,977 --> 06:43:15,977 ground from between what staff 12616 06:43:18,500 --> 06:43:21,500 offered and this subsidy motion 12617 06:43:21,753 --> 06:43:22,620 by Councilmember von Wolpert 12618 06:43:22,620 --> 06:43:23,421 5.5 hours I don't want to go 12619 06:43:23,421 --> 06:43:26,421 through 5.5 hours again when it 12620 06:43:27,292 --> 06:43:27,626 comes back and says you went 12621 06:43:27,626 --> 06:43:29,626 too far. 12622 06:43:32,197 --> 06:43:35,197 I think the city Planning 12623 06:43:36,268 --> 06:43:37,200 Department carefully crafted 12624 06:43:37,200 --> 06:43:37,702 new language over the weekend 12625 06:43:37,702 --> 06:43:41,302 that tried to strike a balance 12626 06:43:41,707 --> 06:43:42,474 with what each side said. 12627 06:43:42,474 --> 06:43:46,740 You know, I mentioned this I 12628 06:43:46,544 --> 06:43:47,313 hear a lot of grumbling. 12629 06:43:47,313 --> 06:43:48,130 There was testimony at a 12630 06:43:48,130 --> 06:43:51,130 different agency that said you 12631 06:43:51,160 --> 06:43:51,783 have a culture to do x, y, z 12632 06:43:51,783 --> 06:43:52,351 And I had to respond saying we 12633 06:43:52,351 --> 06:43:54,751 don't have a culture. 12634 06:43:55,888 --> 06:43:56,655 We have Sacramento that 12635 06:43:56,655 --> 06:43:56,956 dictates what we do and how we 12636 06:43:56,956 --> 06:43:58,956 do it. 12637 06:44:00,926 --> 06:44:01,659 Clearly we went too far from 12638 06:44:01,659 --> 06:44:02,394 where Sacramento was and having 12639 06:44:02,394 --> 06:44:05,994 put that out there we have 12640 06:44:06,265 --> 06:44:06,932 reset the bar. 12641 06:44:06,932 --> 06:44:07,498 The bar is no longer what 12642 06:44:07,498 --> 06:44:09,898 the state mandate is. 12643 06:44:11,303 --> 06:44:12,400 This is my interpretation but 12644 06:44:12,400 --> 06:44:12,771 we raised the bar so high that 12645 06:44:12,771 --> 06:44:16,107 hpd says Don't you dare come 12646 06:44:16,107 --> 06:44:16,475 down too much to what the state 12647 06:44:16,475 --> 06:44:17,750 law says. 12648 06:44:17,750 --> 06:44:17,710 And I think that's where 12649 06:44:17,710 --> 06:44:20,710 the pushback gets why they 12650 06:44:20,746 --> 06:44:21,447 didn't say this in the multiple 12651 06:44:21,447 --> 06:44:23,847 conversations you had before. 12652 06:44:24,350 --> 06:44:24,850 Remains a mystery that we'll 12653 06:44:24,850 --> 06:44:26,850 never understand. 12654 06:44:29,922 --> 06:44:30,689 But I think there's a middle 12655 06:44:30,689 --> 06:44:33,689 ground here that MAY identify 12656 06:44:34,859 --> 06:44:35,528 what the concern is by 12657 06:44:35,528 --> 06:44:39,310 the public that came out and 12658 06:44:39,310 --> 06:44:39,732 gets us a little bit closer and 12659 06:44:39,732 --> 06:44:42,732 a little more hopefully closer 12660 06:44:43,769 --> 06:44:44,637 to what acb is interested in. 12661 06:44:44,637 --> 06:44:47,673 So we do have the motion on 12662 06:44:47,673 --> 06:44:48,407 the screen and if I didn't have 12663 06:44:48,407 --> 06:44:48,974 cataracts I could actually read 12664 06:44:48,974 --> 06:44:51,374 it But nevertheless I 12665 06:44:53,279 --> 06:44:53,879 understand what it was So we 12666 06:44:53,879 --> 06:44:54,280 not seen anybody else in 12667 06:44:54,280 --> 06:44:56,280 the lights. 12668 06:44:58,717 --> 06:44:59,385 We do have a motion by a 12669 06:44:59,385 --> 06:45:00,860 substitute motion by council 12670 06:45:00,860 --> 06:45:03,860 member Von Wolpert and second 12671 06:45:03,489 --> 06:45:03,789 by Council member Campo Oh I'm 12672 06:45:03,789 --> 06:45:05,789 sorry. 12673 06:45:08,527 --> 06:45:09,295 City Attorney in the fee 12674 06:45:09,295 --> 06:45:11,964 resolution it's also an action 12675 06:45:11,964 --> 06:45:14,964 item number three we strike 12676 06:45:17,436 --> 06:45:18,137 moderate also

--> 06:45:22,675 That's a good point that there 12681 06:45:22,675 --> 06:45:23,409 is a separate resolution for 12682 06:45:23,409 --> 06:45:23,876 how we deal with the fee that's 12683 06:45:23,876 --> 06:45:25,410 still in there. 12684 06:45:25,410 --> 06:45:28,410 >> But I guess it's two 12685 06:46:12,240 --> 06:46:14,240 sections 12686 06:46:36,516 --> 06:46:37,116 and the cost sorry we

06:46:54,533 --> 06:46:57,533 Souvenir So we're wired while 12694 06:46:58,103 --> 06:46:58,771 we're waiting for that to come 12695 06:46:58,771 --> 06:46:59,438 up I do want to highlight 12696 06:46:59,438 --> 06:47:00,139 number of people spoke about 12697 06:47:00,139 --> 06:47:02,139 affirmatively furthering fair 12698 06:47:02,908 --> 06:47:03,676 housing. 12699 06:47:03,676 --> 06:47:04,243 Look at the language that was 12700 06:47:04,243 --> 06:47:06,243 actually crafted over 12701 06:47:07,780 --> 06:47:08,380 the weekend that took a real 12702 06:47:08,380 --> 06:47:10,380 substantial step towards 12703 06:47:12,986 --> 06:47:13,319 affirmatively furthering fair 12704 06:47:13,319 --> 06:47:14,530 housing. 12705 06:47:14,530 --> 06:47:14,754 The original ordinance that was 12706 06:47:14,754 --> 06:47:17,154 published last weekend didn't 12707 06:47:18,724 --> 06:47:22,924 really go that far but the new 12708 06:47:23,329 --> 06:47:23,763 language in front of us goes 12709 06:47:23,763 --> 06:47:25,763 pretty far. 12710 06:47:28,167 --> 06:47:28,868 >> We up there and then go back 12711 06:47:28,868 --> 06:47:32,468 okay, those are all the emails

06:57:45,249 some things that I did a few 12826 06:57:46,620 --> 06:57:50,820 months back but I stand by what 12827 06:57:53,661 --> 06:57:58,566 I did and I think it was and is 12828 06:57:58,566 --> 06:58:02,766 the right thing to do in my 12829 06:58:03,771 --> 06:58:04,539 team made gave me some very 12830 06:58:04,539 --> 06:58:07,539 good talking points But see 12831 06:58:08,142 --> 06:58:11,742 it's 9:00 and I think I have 12832 06:58:12,313 --> 06:58:15,913 spoken on all of my concerns 12833 06:58:17,285 --> 06:58:20,885 around housing whether it be my 12834 06:58:22,230 --> 06:58:23,925 issues with large lots and 12835 06:58:23,925 --> 06:58:25,925 the discriminatory practices 12836 06:58:29,965 --> 06:58:33,565 behind them or the 80 years in 12837 06:58:34,902 --> 06:58:35,570 which I feel the conversation 12838 06:58:35,570 --> 06:58:39,170 that should have been had on 12839 06:58:39,940 --> 06:58:40,375 the front end was a true zoning 12840 06:58:40,375 --> 06:58:42,375 conversation. 12841 06:58:43,812 --> 06:58:44,545 I think that would have brought 12842 06:58:44,545 --> 06:58:45,247 the appropriate transparency to 12843 06:58:45,247 --> 06:58:49,840 the table and I don't think we 12844 06:58:49,840 --> 06:58:50,719 would be in the position where 12845 06:58:50,719 --> 06:58:56,119 we have as we want to say a bad 12846 06:58:56,658 --> 06:59:00,258 actor where I think this bad 12847 06:59:01,462 --> 06:59:01,796 actor was intentional in his 12848 06:59:01,796 --> 06:59:03,796 efforts. 12849 06:59:05,934 --> 06:59:06,968 If I recall when I first went 12850 06:59:06,968 --> 06:59:11,768 down a road sdr he is a member 12851 06:59:15,543 --> 06:59:19,743 of the Casita group and how we 12852 06:59:20,650 --> 06:59:21,350 want to per say include folks 12853 06:59:21,350 --> 06:59:24,350 in our stakeholder groups that 12854 06:59:24,653 --> 06:59:25,153 conduct themselves as such 12855 06:59:25,153 --> 06:59:27,153 Shame on us. 12856 06:59:29,291 --> 06:59:33,491 I'd like to think that our job 12857 06:59:34,463 --> 06:59:37,463 is to support our business 12858 06:59:39,468 --> 06:59:40,235 community but I also think it's 12859 06:59:40,235 --> 06:59:42,571 important that we support our 12860 06:59:42,571 --> 06:59:44,571 neighborhoods and especially 12861 06:59:50,712 --> 06:59:54,912 when it comes to district for I 12862 06:59:55,918 --> 06:59:58,918 made the decision to occupy 12863 07:00:00,889 --> 07:00:01,623 this seat because of the years 12864 07:00:01,623 --> 07:00:04,623 of disinvestment and the years 12865 07:00:06,128 --> 07:00:06,461 where I felt District four was 12866 07:00:06,461 --> 07:00:08,461 ignored. 12867 07:00:11,333 --> 07:00:12,134 Now having said, I also would 12868 07:00:12,134 --> 07:00:14,669 like to say that I truly do 12869 07:00:14,669 --> 07:00:15,337 feel and believe that District 12870 07:00:15,337 --> 07:00:16,138 four is the best district in 12871 07:00:16,138 --> 07:00:19,941 the city of San Diego And I say 12872 07:00:19,941 --> 07:00:20,642 that would confidence and I say 12873 07:00:20,642 --> 07:00:24,242 that because I love my people 12874 07:00:24,880 --> 07:00:25,647 and I love my community And so 12875 07:00:25,647 --> 07:00:29,847 forgive me if as I went down 12876 07:00:29,918 --> 07:00:30,585 this road I was a little 12877 07:00:30,585 --> 07:00:31,385 selfish but I will always be 12878 07:00:31,385 --> 07:00:34,385 selfish when it comes to 12879 07:00:35,256 --> 07:00:38,856 the district four because it is 12880 07:00:39,128 --> 07:00:42,728 just that important to me with 12881 07:00:44,767 --> 07:00:45,668 that as you can see we did I 12882 07:00:45,668 --> 07:00:49,805 guess I did get my up or down 12883 07:00:49,805 --> 07:00:50,505 vote in regards to trying to 12884 07:00:50,505 --> 07:00:53,909 rein in the numbers that were 12885 07:00:53,909 --> 07:00:57,509 presented and in front of us. 12886 07:00:58,881 --> 07:01:03,810 But as you can see we still 12887 07:01:04,860 --> 07:01:04,920 continue to have challenges. 12888 07:01:04,920 --> 07:01:08,257 And so with that as I 12889 07:01:08,257 --> 07:01:11,857 understand and I just want to 12890 07:01:13,162 --> 07:01:16,162 make sure I understand process 12891 07:01:18,267 --> 07:01:19,340 as the was was it did we demand 12892 07:01:19,340 --> 07:01:22,634 a substitute motion So as a 12893 07:01:22,705 --> 07:01:23,338 substitute motion has failed we 12894 07:01:23,338 --> 07:01:26,338 refer back to the original 12895 07:01:27,776 --> 07:01:28,143 motion that was on the table. 12896 07:01:28,143 --> 07:01:30,143 Correct. 12897 07:01:37,520 --> 07:01:37,753 And with what took place and I 12898 07:01:37,753 --> 07:01:41,353 just want to say this too 12899 07:01:41,623 --> 07:01:42,792 because I'm just perplexed and 12900 07:01:42,792 --> 07:01:46,395 excuse me because as I look at 12901 07:01:46,395 --> 07:01:46,996 the production, if I understand 12902 07:01:46,996 --> 07:01:49,396 everything that you have 12903 07:01:51,500 --> 07:01:55,100 provided to us and between I 12904 07:01:58,474 --> 07:01:59,340 guess is it 90 what is between 12905 07:01:59,340 --> 07:02:02,340 2021 and 2024 when you look at 12906 07:02:07,916 --> 07:02:10,916 what was permitted we've had 12907 07:02:12,540 --> 07:02:12,755 5182 permits for 123 80

07:02:35,110 --> 07:02:35,678 understand these numbers is in 12918 07:02:35,678 --> 07:02:38,780 my understanding the numbers 12919 07:02:39,482 --> 07:02:40,248 correctly that the state 12920 07:02:40,248 --> 07:02:43,248 program is what is actually 12921 07:02:44,120 --> 07:02:44,887 producing I believe instead of 12922 07:02:44,887 --> 07:02:48,591 little numbers It is in my memo 12923 07:02:48,591 --> 07:02:49,292 that I did state and I 12924 07:02:49,292 --> 07:02:49,859 apologize off the top of my 12925 07:02:49,859 --> 07:02:50,559 head I don't remember 12926 07:02:50,559 -->

07:02:59,701 program for a use is a very 12930 07:02:59,701 --> 07:03:00,336 small percentage of course of 12931 07:03:00,336 --> 07:03:02,736 the overall total housing 12932 07:03:04,730 -->

the clerk a vote a 12945 07:03:32,568 --> 07:03:36,768 clerk and I think I had given 12946 07:03:37,600 --> 07:03:37,873 the clerk a photo that I would 12947 07:03:37,873 --> 07:03:41,473 like to show of a project 12948 07:03:41,844 --> 07:03:44,244 that's currently taking place 12949 07:03:46,115 --> 07:03:46,883 in my district and this is 12950 07:03:46,883 --> 07:03:49,883 within walking

12960 07:04:26,923 --> 07:04:31,123 just amazed as I drive down my 12961 07:04:31,394 --> 07:04:32,950 block to see something like 12962 07:04:32,950 --> 07:04:32,829 this to where without looking 12963 07:04:32,829 --> 07:04:35,665 at the plans I don't know how 12964 07:04:35,665 --> 07:04:35,932 folks are going to get in and 12965 07:04:35,932 --> 07:04:36,565 out. 12966 07:04:36,565 --> 07:04:38,965 Clearly there's no clearly 12967 07:04:40,170 --> 07:04:40,937 there's no parking I don't know 12968 07:04:40,937 --> 07:04:41,737 what folks are going to do with 12969 07:04:41,737 --> 07:04:44,737 their garbage because based on 12970 07:04:45,508 --> 07:04:48,508 our trash program they are 12971 07:04:49,579 --> 07:04:50,346 excluded from our program So 12972 07:04:50,346 --> 07:04:50,680 they have to go to a private 12973 07:04:50,680 --> 07:04:52,680 hauler. 12974 07:04:54,817 --> 07:04:55,351 But I don't see where a bin is 12975 07:04:55,351 --> 07:04:57,751 going to be located. 12976 07:04:59,155 --> 07:04:59,922 So this those types of things 12977 07:04:59,922 --> 07:05:02,922 where I just don't understand 12978 07:05:04,660 --> 07:05:05,461 how we cannot rein in and have 12979 07:05:05,461 --> 07:05:09,320 certain and I believe the term 12980 07:05:09,320 --> 07:05:11,432 is objective design standards 12981 07:05:14,370 --> 07:05:17,370 or something to that effect. 12982 07:05:18,641 --> 07:05:19,442 I just feel as if we are really 12983 07:05:19,442 --> 07:05:19,742 have our hands tied behind our 12984 07:05:19,742 --> 07:05:20,710 back. 12985 07:05:20,710 --> 07:05:23,545 And I'll also say this and I 12986 07:05:23,545 --> 07:05:24,180 think the public needs to know 12987 07:05:24,180 --> 07:05:24,914 this and I appreciate your 12988 07:05:24,914 --> 07:05:27,914 passion and I appreciate your 12989 07:05:28,785 --> 07:05:29,486 engagement but as you can see a 12990 07:05:29,486 --> 07:05:33,686 lot of the um we do have 12991 07:05:33,823 --> 07:05:34,457 certain control here but a lot 12992 07:05:34,457 --> 07:05:35,191 of the things that we are 12993 07:05:35,191 --> 07:05:38,427 struggling with or or that that 12994 07:05:38,427 --> 07:05:39,162 presents certain challenges all 12995 07:05:39,162 --> 07:05:40,620 take place at the state level. 12996 07:05:40,620 --> 07:05:43,662 So I would encourage you to 12997 07:05:43,733 --> 07:05:46,133 engage with your state 12998 07:05:48,400 --> 07:05:48,704 representatives as well even to 12999 07:05:48,704 --> 07:05:51,704 address letters that come out 13000 07:05:52,676 --> 07:05:53,543 from ac that make no sense 13001 07:05:53,543 --> 07:05:54,511 right where where we have to go 13002 07:05:54,511 --> 07:05:58,214 back and say make it make sense 13003 07:05:58,214 --> 07:05:58,815 Our attorneys can't make heads 13004 07:05:58,815 --> 07:06:01,815 or tails of what oecd's 13005 07:06:02,180 --> 07:06:02,886 providing at this point. 13006 07:06:02,886 --> 07:06:06,656 So I think there just needs to 13007 07:06:06,656 --> 07:06:07,523 be as we talk about engagement 13008 07:06:07,523 --> 07:06:08,224 ,we need to make sure we're 13009 07:06:08,224 --> 07:06:11,224 addressing all of the levels 13010 07:06:12,362 --> 07:06:13,630 consistently so that we can 13011 07:06:13,630 --> 07:06:16,199 have some continuity as as we 13012 07:06:16,199 --> 07:06:16,533 look at what we can do here 13013 07:06:16,533 --> 07:06:18,533 locally. 13014 07:06:21,370 --> 07:06:24,970 But with that and with my 13015 07:06:26,476 --> 07:06:27,770 issues I do have I also think I 13016 07:06:27,770 --> 07:06:30,677 gave the clerk a put an 13017 07:06:33,160 --> 07:06:33,783 amendment that I would like to 13018 07:06:33,783 --> 07:06:36,783 bring forward as a substitute 13019 07:06:37,854 --> 07:06:42,540 motion as well if we can get 13020 07:06:47,831 --> 07:06:51,431 that brought up I thought there 13021 07:06:52,690 --> 07:06:56,269 should be more now Well I guess 13022 07:06:57,441 --> 07:06:57,907 is at the top to move staff's 13023 07:06:57,907 --> 07:06:58,608 recommendation. 13024 07:06:58,608 --> 07:06:59,309 It's not as I don't know city 13025 07:06:59,309 --> 07:07:02,512 Attorney if we need to go back 13026 07:07:02,512 --> 07:07:03,213 and have him plop in all 13027 07:07:03,213 --> 07:07:03,880 the true legal issues but it's 13028 07:07:03,880 --> 07:07:06,820 essentially to move staff's 13029 07:07:06,820 --> 07:07:06,783 recommendation with 13030 07:07:06,783 --> 07:07:09,183 the following modification and 13031 07:07:10,153 --> 07:07:13,753 that's to amend table 141-03a 13032 07:07:17,895 --> 07:07:18,661 in section 141-0302I think 13033 07:07:18,661 --> 07:07:21,498 that's a d I can't see that 13034 07:07:21,498 --> 07:07:22,298 part and a four as follows And 13035 07:07:22,298 --> 07:07:25,298 that essentially is taking lot 13036 07:07:29,172 --> 07:07:32,772 areas 8000 or less to a maximum 13037 07:07:33,777 --> 07:07:36,777 of four units 8001 to 10,000 to 13038 07:07:37,681 --> 07:07:40,810 five units and 10,001 or 13039 07:07:41,652 --> 07:07:42,519 greater to six units And that's 13040 07:07:42,519 --> 07:07:46,719 what I would like to propose as 13041 07:07:49,759 --> 07:07:50,527 a substitute route motion 13042 07:07:50,527 --> 07:07:54,127 Unless you want to do a 13043 07:07:55,650 --> 07:07:55,799 friendly amendment put up or 13044 07:07:55,799 --> 07:07:56,500 have you do a substitute motion 13045 07:07:56,500 --> 07:07:58,835 council PRESIDENT You might as 13046 07:07:58,835 --> 07:07:59,603 the maker of the original 13047 07:07:59,603 --> 07:08:03,730 motion Could I have a request? 13048 07:08:03,730 --> 07:08:03,673 Clearly I think item 16 is 13049 07:08:03,673 --> 07:08:04,700 the most popular item of 13050 07:08:04,700 --> 07:08:04,608 the day. 13051 07:08:04,608 --> 07:08:07,608 It's the one where we're 13052 07:08:07,777 --> 07:08:08,479 fiddling with the scale and 13053 07:08:08,479 --> 07:08:09,146 where that scale makes sense 13054 07:08:09,146 --> 07:08:09,680 And I understand that we all 13055 07:08:09,680 --> 07:08:10,800 MAY have a different 13056 07:08:10,800 --> 07:08:11,982 perspective. 13057 07:08:11,982 --> 07:08:16,182 And so if I could ask my 13058 07:08:16,820 --> 07:08:17,487 colleague if we could actually 13059 07:08:17,487 --> 07:08:18,288 bifurcate item 16 because I 13060 07:08:18,288 --> 07:08:18,923 think many of us had have had 13061 07:08:18,923 --> 07:08:20,923 significant discussions on 13062 07:08:21,992 --> 07:08:22,493 the value of the entire package 13063 07:08:22,493 --> 07:08:23,126 as a whole. 13064 07:08:23,126 --> 07:08:23,826 There are other amendments 13065 07:08:23,826 --> 07:08:26,497 related to state components or 13066 07:08:26,497 --> 07:08:27,297 amendments to this program that 13067 07:08:27,297 --> 07:08:28,640 I think we all find that are 13068 07:08:28,640 --> 07:08:31,640 valuable because they rein in 13069 07:08:31,134 --> 07:08:31,835 other problematic areas. 13070 07:08:31,835 --> 07:08:34,835 But this particular section on 13071 07:08:35,472 --> 07:08:36,173 development scale seems to be 13072 07:08:36,173 --> 07:08:36,906 the one piece that we all have 13073 07:08:36,906 --> 07:08:37,641 slightly different opinions on. 13074 07:08:37,641 --> 07:08:40,641 So I would certainly appreciate 13075 07:08:41,412 --> 07:08:42,112 an opportunity to I mean if I 13076 07:08:42,112 --> 07:08:42,813 could still move and I don't 13077 07:08:42,813 --> 07:08:45,213 know if Councilmember regular 13078 07:08:45,649 --> 07:08:46,382 Rivera would select a second 13079 07:08:46,382 --> 07:08:46,984 package without item 16 whether 13080 07:08:46,984 --> 07:08:49,384 this could be considered 13081 07:08:54,725 --> 07:08:55,492 separately. 13082 07:08:55,492 --> 07:08:58,262 I think as a courtesy to 13083 07:08:58,262 --> 07:08:59,290 Councilmember Foster, I'm going 13084 07:08:59,290 --> 07:09:02,533 to second his motion since he's 13085 07:09:02,533 --> 07:09:04,933 accepting everything else in 13086 07:09:08,105 --> 07:09:12,810 there and I, I think well, if I 13087 07:09:12,810 --> 07:09:15,810 do a substitute well that's 13088 07:09:17,648 --> 07:09:18,415 what I'm asking Work with my 13089 07:09:18,415 --> 07:09:22,150 good friend MR. Campo in his 13090 07:09:23,320 --> 07:09:23,620 because he deferred to me 13091 07:09:23,620 --> 07:09:25,620 Right. 13092 07:09:26,900 --> 07:09:29,690 2 to 2 before you two can talk 13093 07:09:30,794 --> 07:09:31,295 on his So can we add his into 13094 07:09:31,295 --> 07:09:32,930 Yeah into mine. 13095 07:09:32,930 --> 07:09:33,797 I don't know if it's in 13096 07:09:33,797 --> 07:09:37,397 the same section so that might 13097 07:09:39,370 --> 07:09:39,736 be a moderate strike and 13098 07:09:39,736 --> 07:09:41,736 moderate. 13099 07:09:43,907 --> 07:09:48,107 Okay so we should be able to 13100 07:09:49,790 --> 07:09:49,747 put that up pretty quickly. 13101 07:09:49,747 --> 07:09:50,514 >> Does that make sense? 13102 07:09:50,514 --> 07:09:51,482 We gave a courtesy to council 13103 07:09:51,482 --> 07:09:55,820 my Ben Wolpert to entertain her 13104 07:09:56,320 --> 07:09:57,870 substitute motion. 13105 07:09:57,870 --> 07:09:57,754 I would think we should 13106 07:09:57,754 --> 07:10:00,754 entertain the same thing for 13107 07:10:01,559 --> 07:10:02,225 Councilmember Foster and if you 13108 07:10:02,225 --> 07:10:02,960 don't like the amendments to 13109 07:10:02,960 --> 07:10:07,160 the table then we can vote that 13110 07:10:07,164 --> 07:10:07,664 down and see where we go with 13111 07:10:07,664 --> 07:10:08,640 You're the second. 13112 07:10:08,640 --> 07:10:08,599 That's fine. 13113 07:10:08,599 --> 07:10:10,999 I'm fine with that. 13114 07:10:11,302 --> 07:10:11,702 If you're the second of 13115 07:10:11,702 --> 07:10:12,136 the motion. 13116 07:10:12,136 --> 07:10:14,136 Just a brief. 13117 07:10:22,780 --> 07:10:23,447 This is just the council 13118 07:10:23,447 --> 07:10:24,248 PRESIDENT So the alternative 13119 07:10:24,248 --> 07:10:27,848 motion has been made and you've 13120 07:10:28,850 --> 07:10:28,785 seconded your substitute 13121 07:10:28,785 --> 07:10:31,185 substitute motion So therefore 13122 07:10:32,622 --> 07:10:33,157 Councilmember Foster is now in 13123 07:10:33,157 --> 07:10:33,724 control. 13124 07:10:33,724 --> 07:10:34,392 >> The motion Correct. 13125 07:10:34,392 --> 07:10:37,227 You would accept my friendly 13126 07:10:37,227 --> 07:10:37,595 amendment to strike moderate? 13127 07:10:37,595 --> 07:10:37,895 Yeah. 13128 07:10:37,895 --> 07:10:38,195 Yeah. 13129 07:10:38,195

13133 07:10:42,933 --> 07:10:45,333 have that language from 13134 07:10:46,137 --> 07:10:46,570 the previous action So does 13135 07:10:46,570 --> 07:10:48,570 that mean Yes. 13136 07:10:56,460 -->

07:11:12,361 >> Yes, no problem. 13143 07:11:14,498 --> 07:11:18,980 It's only been about 20s I 13144 07:11:18,469 --> 07:11:19,437 would just like to add to my 13145 07:11:19,437 --> 07:11:22,437 colleague Henry Foster who just 13146 07:11:24,242 --> 07:11:27,842 reminded us that what is in 13147 07:11:28,412 --> 07:11:29,800 the recommendations as written 13148 07:11:29,800 --> 07:11:31,480 by our planning department 13149 07:11:33,918 --> 07:11:34,784 staff is so much better than 13150 07:11:34,784 --> 07:11:38,384 what we have been living with 13151 07:11:38,489 --> 07:11:42,689 and I

didn't like going beyond 13155 07:11:49,200 --> 07:11:52,800 the state What the state wanted 13156 07:11:53,738 --> 07:11:57,241 however, this is such a better 13157 07:11:57,241 --> 07:11:58,900 change from what we would be 13158 07:11:58,900 --> 07:12:01,609 living with prior to this that 13159 07:12:02,346 --> 07:12:03,810 I am in favor of it And I 13160 07:12:03,810 --> 07:12:05,810 appreciate Councilmember Foster 13161 07:12:07,318 --> 07:12:07,952 making the substitute motion 13162 07:12:07,952 --> 07:12:08,385 and our council PRESIDENT 13163 07:12:08,385 --> 07:12:10,385 Seconding it. 13164 07:12:12,623 --> 07:12:13,424 I just want to remind people 13165 07:12:13,424 --> 07:12:17,562 that what this does is it it 13166 07:12:17,562 --> 07:12:18,162 limits ideas and fires zones 13167 07:12:18,162 --> 07:12:21,162 both high and very high. 13168 07:12:22,500 --> 07:12:23,167 It causes ingress and egress 13169 07:12:23,167 --> 07:12:25,567 requirements for fire safety 13170 07:12:25,569 --> 07:12:27,569 and other safety. 13171 07:12:31,900 --> 07:12:34,609 It is this consistent with unit 13172 07:12:35,545 --> 07:12:36,213 size and and the caps that are 13173 07:12:36,213 --> 07:12:36,847 in here and in what 13174 07:12:36,847 --> 07:12:39,247 Councilmember Foster put I 13175 07:12:41,850 --> 07:12:41,785 think our excellent and I think 13176 07:12:41,785 --> 07:12:42,921 we have found a middle ground 13177 07:12:42,921 --> 07:12:43,254 that we can agree on at this 13178 07:12:43,254 --> 07:12:45,254 time. 13179 07:12:48,526 --> 07:12:49,260 I I particularly want to 13180 07:12:49,260 --> 07:12:51,660 mention the parking requirement 13181 07:12:53,464 --> 07:12:54,199 that's back in I was the only 13182 07:12:54,199 --> 07:12:57,799 person many years ago who voted 13183 07:12:58,303 --> 07:12:58,937 that we should not deny parking 13184 07:12:58,937 --> 07:13:00,937 requirements to builders. 13185 07:13:03,141 --> 07:13:03,907 I was the only no vote on that 13186 07:13:03,907 --> 07:13:07,712 years ago and I'm glad to see 13187 07:13:07,712 --> 07:13:08,479 that some repair of that is 13188 07:13:08,479 --> 07:13:12,790 included in this And I think 13189 07:13:12,917 --> 07:13:17,117 that this is is really quite an 13190 07:13:17,722 --> 07:13:18,523 excellent beginning though 13191 07:13:18,523 --> 07:13:21,523 These these changes are not 13192 07:13:22,761 --> 07:13:23,627 perfect. 13193 07:13:23,627 --> 07:13:24,395 I think they're a good step, a 13194 07:13:24,395 --> 07:13:27,332 big step toward a much more 13195 07:13:27,332 --> 07:13:28,199 rational measure in terms of 13196 07:13:28,199 --> 07:13:32,170 aid to use for our city than we 13197 07:13:32,170 --> 07:13:33,370 have had prior to now. 13198 07:13:33,370 --> 07:13:37,800 And I also just want to mention 13199 07:13:37,800 --> 07:13:37,609 so the public knows it is 13200 07:13:37,609 --> 07:13:40,609 illegal for a short term 13201 07:13:42,713 --> 07:13:43,481 vacation rental to occur in an 13202 07:13:43,481 --> 07:13:46,718 ad you So I just want to 13203 07:13:46,718 --> 07:13:49,718 mention that there are 117 to 13204 07:13:50,855 --> 07:13:51,455 use built before 2017 that are 13205 07:13:51,455 --> 07:13:53,855 allowed but most of 13206 07:13:55,693 --> 07:13:56,394 the thousands of them are not 13207 07:13:56,394 --> 07:13:59,994 ever allowed to be used as 13208 07:14:00,632 --> 07:14:01,600 short term rentals. 13209 07:14:01,600 --> 07:14:04,803 So if you know of one that is 13210 07:14:04,803 --> 07:14:05,570 please let the city know 13211 07:14:05,570 --> 07:14:05,870 because we will clamp down on 13212 07:14:05,870 --> 07:14:07,870 that. 13213 07:14:09,841 --> 07:14:10,742 That is already a law and that 13214 07:14:10,742 --> 07:14:11,109 continues to be a law in this 13215 07:14:11,109 --> 07:14:13,109 new plan. 13216 07:14:14,945 --> 07:14:15,647 So I I'm very much in favor

correlation between having 13567 07:26:15,702 --> 07:26:16,370 marijuana storefronts in town 13568 07:26:16,370 --> 07:26:17,710 and the presence of medical 13569 07:26:17,710 --> 07:26:19,471 diagnosis of psychotic anxiety 13570 07:26:20,700 --> 07:26:20,674 and depressive disorders. 13571 07:26:20,674 --> 07:26:22,674 Specifically this research 13572 07:26:24,911 --> 07:26:25,613 found that banning storefront 13573 07:26:25,613 --> 07:26:26,213 cannabis shops was linked to 13574 07:26:26,213 --> 07:26:29,213 about half the rate of 13575 07:26:30,183 --> 07:26:30,951 psychotic disorders in teens 13576 07:26:30,951 --> 07:26:33,351 52% lower compared to areas 13577 07:26:35,389 --> 07:26:36,257 without bans. 13578 07:26:36,257 --> 07:26:39,493 >> Another way to put it is 13579 07:26:39,493 --> 07:26:40,194 teens who live 20 plus minutes 13580 07:26:40,194 --> 07:26:43,194 away from the nearest cannabis 13581 07:26:44,310 --> 07:26:44,831 store had about half the rate 13582 07:26:44,831 --> 07:26:46,831 of psychotic disorders 47% 13583 07:26:48,803 --> 07:26:49,437 lower since we had 25 marijuana 13584 07:26:49,437 --> 07:26:49,736 storefronts throughout our 13585 07:26:49,736 --> 07:26:50,404 city. 13586 07:26:50,404 --> 07:26:53,404 Perhaps we need to recognize 13587 07:26:53,607 --> 07:26:54,341 the association between their 13588 07:26:54,341 --> 07:26:54,674 presence and teen mental health 13589 07:26:54,674 --> 07:26:56,674 issues. 13590 07:26:58,545 --> 07:26:59,212 The journey into adulthood and 13591 07:26:59,212 --> 07:26:59,813 adulthood with its education 13592 07:26:59,813 --> 07:27:02,213 and economic demands is 13593 07:27:04,840 --> 07:27:04,785 difficult at best to be 13594 07:27:04,785 --> 07:27:05,519 burdened with intellectual and 13595 07:27:05,519 --> 07:27:07,919 emotional challenges brought on 13596 07:27:09,156 --> 07:27:09,789 by the sale of and promotion of 13597 07:27:09,789 --> 07:27:12,189 marijuana

13617 07:27:43,725 --> 07:27:44,292 the dramatic rise in nicotine 13618 07:27:44,292 --> 07:27:46,692 patch use among teens 13619 07:27:47,728 --> 07:27:48,496 especially here in San Diego. 13620 07:27:48,496 --> 07:27:51,532 A new national study led by 13621 07:27:51,532 --> 07:27:52,200 the Keck School of Medicine at 13622 07:27:52,200 --> 07:27:52,800 usc found that teen use of 13623 07:27:52,800 --> 07:27:54,800 nicotine patches like 13624 07:27:57,380 --> 07:28:00,638 the popular brand is in nearly 13625 07:28:00,842 --> 07:28:01,576 doubled from 2023 to 2024. 13626 07:28:01,576 --> 07:28:03,976 These discreet flavored pouches 13627 07:28:04,545 --> 07:28:05,313 are being aggressively marketed 13628 07:28:05,313 --> 07:28:08,313 on social media, especially by 13629 07:28:09,583 --> 07:28:10,284 so-called influencers promoting 13630 07:28:10,284 --> 07:28:10,651 them as symbols of confidence 13631 07:28:10,651 --> 07:28:11,319 and focus. 13632 07:28:11,319 --> 07:28:13,719 But there's a dangerous 13633 07:28:14,655 --> 07:28:15,523 disconnect. 13634 07:28:15,523 --> 07:28:18,523 While less than 1% of adults 13635 07:28:19,560 --> 07:28:20,361 report using these pouches over 13636 07:28:20,361 --> 07:28:20,661 5% of teens have already tried 13637 07:28:20,661 --> 07:28:21,228 them. 13638 07:28:21,228 --> 07:28:23,628 Even more troubling is 13639 07:28:24,932 --> 07:28:25,666 the growing number of teens 13640 07:28:25,666 --> 07:28:26,100 using both nicotine pouches and 13641 07:28:26,100 --> 07:28:28,100 e-cigarettes. 13642 07:28:30,337 --> 07:28:30,705 These products are not 13643 07:28:30,705 --> 07:28:31,506 harmless. 13644 07:28:31,506 --> 07:28:34,208 Nicotine in any form can damage 13645 07:28:34,208 --> 07:28:34,908 adolescent brain development 13646 07:28:34,908 --> 07:28:35,276 impacting memory learning and 13647 07:28:35,276 --> 07:28:37,276 attention. 13648 07:28:39,681 --> 07:28:40,281 Some users already report gum

07:28:45,653 --> 07:28:48,530 widely available and appealing 13653 07:28:49,290 --> 07:28:50,570 to youth. 13654 07:28:50,570 --> 07:28:50,625 As local leaders you have a 13655 07:28:50,625 --> 07:28:52,625 responsibility to act. 13656 07:28:54,762 --> 07:28:55,463 I urge this Council to consider 13657 07:28:55,463 --> 07:28:55,797 local education efforts in our 13658 07:28:55,797 --> 07:28:57,797 schools. 13659 07:28:59,600 --> 07:29:00,301 Restrictions on flavored pouch 13660 07:29:00,301 --> 07:29:03,301 sales and outreach to parents 13661 07:29:03,604 --> 07:29:04,471 and

13665 07:29:08,743 --> 07:29:09,510 happened with vaping. 13666 07:29:09,510 --> 07:29:10,211 So let's use that lesson to 13667 07:29:10,211 --> 07:29:13,211 protect San Diego's youth now. 13668
