B. DEPARTMENT MATTERS

1. Director’s Announcements

Director John Rahaim:
I think that Mr. Frye was going to report on the item that the gentleman just spoke about. I have two things to talk about; one just to mention that we included you on our response to the Mayor's Executive Directive via email last week; be happy to answer any questions on that. It has a number of items related to our preservation work so if you have any thoughts about that, happy to hear them. We had a hearing at the Planning Commission and we'll be updating that plan every quarter and reporting to the Planning Commission every quarter, so if you would like it have a hearing or have any questions answered, be happy to do that. Secondly, you've probably have seen there's potential for a couple of ballot measures coming up in June that directly, very directly relate to our work. One is a ballot measure being put forward to make affordable housing and teacher housing completely ministerial, meaning we would approve it without CEQA review, without extensive review and the second reported in the paper today is a ballot measure related to Prop M office allocation that relates to Central SOMA. Bring it up for two reasons: one is as a reminder to everyone, us, and you and staff, that because these are even potential ballot measures, we cannot take a public position on these. Secondly, we'll probably do our own analysis of these because they very much relate to our work and affect our work in the Department so in the coming weeks if they do get put on the ballot, if the signatures are gathered appropriately, we'll make a report to you and the Planning Commission on those. Thank you. That concludes my presentation.

2. Review of Past Events at the Planning Commission, Staff Report and Announcements

Tim Frye, Preservation Officer:
A few items to share with you as Director Rahaim mentioned a short report on the Board of Supervisors appeal hearing yesterday. The appeal was for conditional use authorization to merge two lots or allow two units in an RH1 Zoning District to merge into a single lot. The Board upheld the decision to merge the lots or the CU with a vote 10-1 with Supervisor Fewer against. Essentially this is a through lot, 950 Lombard, 841 Chestnut; there's a property facing each frontage; the 841 Chestnut property, which is a 1908 Willis Polk House, was demolished without benefit of Planning Department review. Although there is a substantial settlement that was incurred as part of this Notice of Enforcement, about $400,000, which will go into Preservation and Enforcement with the Department. I'm happy to forward you the case report that the Department prepared on the appeal if that helps provide more information or if there is an item in particular you would like to have a hearing about in the future. Essentially, there was a good number of members of the public in support of denying the appeal, largely from the preservation community, stating that the funds should be diverted to the Historic Preservation Fund Committee or the remaining cottage on the 950 Lombard side should be landmarked or there should be some other measure to ensure preservation at that site and that projects like this or issues like this do not occur in the future. Again, happy to have a conversation about it should you desire. It was largely related to a property owner decided to move forward without any benefit of city review, so I'm not sure if there was any measures we could have put into place to prohibit them from doing this illegal demolition. The second item I wanted to mention to you is this morning; planning staff and I were at the Government Audit and Oversight Committee for the remaining Mills Act contract. The Committee decided to hear two contracts: 973 Market Street and then 55 Laguna site. So there are two remaining contracts or contract applications in the Duboce Landmark District that the Committee has decided not to hear this year, so we'll be working with those applicants on just discussing their options. However, one of them is – has an Ellis Act associate with it, it seems that the Board of Supervisors is moving into a policy direction that will discourage granting Mills Act Contracts to those properties has an Ellis Act in the past. The other one was not heard primarily because a C of A is pending for a large horizontal and vertical addition at the rear of that property and the Committee felt that they would like to hear what this Commission has to say before granting the contract. The two that they heard, they had a number of questions about the outstanding violations at that site, which we're happy to report, have been abated. One was an illegal office use at the 55 Laguna site and the other one was nine residential units at 973 Market that were listed on Airbnb illegally by the lease holder. The Committee still has some concerns and I mentioned some of these the last time we had a hearing. They are concerned over the lack of correlation between rehabilitation costs and the credit that granting a contract after work has already been completed, which also shows a lack of demonstrated need for the credit, among other issues. As you know, we're going to schedule a hearing in February to discuss any ideas that this Commission or the Department may have on revamping the program to better align with the Board of Supervisors, sort of overall policies and goals, and make sure that the incentive stays intact. More on that once we get closer to that hearing; just wanted to let you know they did—oh one other thing, the two contracts that they did grant, they also granted them just for 10-year periods. So it won't be the rolling contracts that we've seen in the past. That concludes my comments unless you have any questions.

Commissioner Hyland:
Mr. Frye, can you give us a little background on the Mills Act. How many years have we been doing this; it's not been that long relative to other cities.

Tim Frye, Preservation officer:
No. We have -- the city adopted the program, I believe, in the late '90s, '96 or '98. We currently only have 25 active contracts. The program was sort of revamped about five years ago to reduce the application cost and to streamline the process a little bit more to encourage use of it. However, like Los Angeles, who has well in excess of 700 contracts, or San Diego that has over 1,200, we definitely are on the low side in terms of statewide applications. The program does offer the local jurisdiction a lot of flexibility on how it decides to implement the program, so that's what we will be looking at after talking to the city attorney's office in coming back to you with some ideas about how we can, again, better align with everybody's intentions for using it as a preservation incentive.

C. COMMISSION MATTERS

3. President’s Report and Announcements

President Wolfram:
I would like to report that we are planning a Historic Preservation Commission holiday gathering for Commissioners and Preservation Staffs. The plan now is to hold it about 5:00 P.M. on the 20th of December, which is after our hearing on that date, at one of our recent legacy businesses that we have recommended, the Café du Nord on Market Street. We can send out details with the exact address via email. Hope you can all come.

5. Commission Comments & Questions

Commissioner Johnck:
Fellow commissioners and actually this is to staff too, but this is a little continuation of this issue with the Mills Act, so just to confirm we are having a hearing in February for review; for instance, you're going to bring back the matter of the Certificate of Appropriateness that was outstanding? One example?

Tim Frye, Preservation Officer:
We're going to explore what are the options are for the outstanding contracts; right now they are at the Board. I'm not sure if we can do anything. We may have to cancel those applications. Our hope is to come to your first hearing in February with some recommendation because that will give us time to incorporate any edits you find necessary into the next year's cycle; which the deadline is May 1 for our new applications to come in so we think between February and May we can bring something to the Board for adoption if you do decide to change the program. If there are some policy changes we can make without legislating amendments to the code, we'll naturally pursue that first.

Commissioner Johnck:
On a related matter, too, I've been following the potential demise of the federal historic tax credits with the House bill completely eliminating them while the Senate bill maintains the historic tax credits but changes the time period which you can receive credit for the expenditure. Which apparently, under the existing federal law, the credit you can take immediately within the first year, but the amendment to the law in the Senate bill extends it out five years, ehich is a problem, I mean, it's a further disincentive, so I'm interested if there is an update what you have, Tim, or any other one on this. I know several letters have gone into our centers about this and trying to maintain the existing program.

Tim Frye, Preservation Officer:
Commissioner, the only thing I have to report, you know, other than us following the news as closely probably as you are, is that Mayor Lee did sign on to a letter urging the Senators and the President to retain the tax credit. He signed on with a number of other Mayors from across the country, but if you'd like to discuss that further or if the full commission would, we're happy to agendize something, perhaps in the new year, to discuss those issues and then at that time, we can -- excuse me -- reach out to the state to see if they have anything, any information they can provide us.

Commissioner Johns:
Last night at a party, I had a discussion with the President of the Arts Commission and the upshot of it all was that both he and I thought it would be very useful for the Arts Commission and for this Commission, at least for me, if each Commission had a better understanding of what the other one does; with specific reference to things like we're going to come up with later on today. There may be other times when the Arts Commission approves the installation of some art project in a historic district and so I don't know exactly the proper way to do it but I think it would be very useful. He suggested, well maybe we have a joint meeting. I don't know if that is the way to do it. Or maybe we could have someone report to us so we could better understand their role and we could then maybe retal -- I mean reciprocate and have someone explain to them what we do. So, we were both clear on our roles and didn't anticipate or expect the other Commission to do something, which they consider to be outside of their purview.

Jonas Ionin, Commission Secretary:
In the past when there have been requests to have joint meetings between Commissions: between the Historic Preservation Commission possibility the Planning Commission or the Planning Commission and the Department of Building and Inspection; we've often sometimes met with the officers at an officer's meeting of the two commissions. But what has come out of those sometimes is a presentation from staff to each of the respective commissions so that a member of the Arts Commission staff could come and make a presentation here and vice versa.

President Wolfram:
That seems like the most effective way; I think the joint hearing tends to be a bit cumbersome.

Commissioner Johns:
If there is some way that we could do that --

Jonas Ionin, Commission Secretary:
We could certainly put the wheels in motion and send an invitation. I'm sure they would be willing to oblige and put the item on the agenda.

Commissioner Pearlman:
I just wanted to add to Commissioner Johns' comments. At the ARC today, we looked at the JC Deco designs for the new bathrooms and kiosks and what we found out was that the Arts Commission had unanimously -- not unanimously, they had approved the designs that Commissioner Hyland and I were very, very skeptical about, to say the least. So, it is a very interesting and I think very important to have this discussion because there is a chasm between our view of how this design affected the historic districts that they're located in and the approval from the Arts Commission. So, I heartily endorse that.

Commissioner Hyland:
Sorry, we're a chatty group today. Today Commissioner Johnck and I are part of the Waterfront Long Range Update Plan and part of the working group for that and I believe tonight will be potentially our last hearing as the working group. So, if any of you are following that, I know the -- I think it is just the last commission hearing, the Port was here and presented their draft report. But it will be moving into stage three or phase three, whatever they're calling it, which is public engagement and public comment. So, I think --

President Wolfram:
So you will no longer be -- ?

Commissioner Hyland:
I believe the working group will no longer be assembled. That is my understanding. We'll report back next week. Yeah.

Preliminary Recommendation: Review and Comment

SPEAKERS:	= Jeanie Poling – Staff report Jorgen Cleeman
ACTION:	Reviewed and Commented • The HPC found the DEIR to be adequate and accurate, and concurred with the analysis presented in the DEIR. The proposed alternatives appropriately address the required analysis, as outlined in HPC Resolution No. 0746. • The HPC noted an error on page 121, which contains Figure VI-5. As captioned and referenced in the text, Figure VI-5 should have shown a conceptual site plan for the partial preservation alternative. As printed in the DEIR, however, Figure VI-5 showed a conceptual site plan for the full preservation alternative. The HPC asked that this error be corrected.
