(a) On April 24, 2014, the Planning Commission certified the 2004 and 2009 Housing Element Final Environmental Impact Report ("Final EIR"} in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.} ("CEQA"), the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.}, and Chapter 31 of the San Francisco Administrative Code. Subsequent to the adoption of the Final EIR, the City has approved and incorporated eight addenda into the analysis of the Final EIR and made requisite findings under CEQA.The Planning Department has Mayor Breed BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Page 1 determined that the actions contemplated in this ordinance comply i.vith the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.). Said determination is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in File No. _____ and is incorporated herein by reference. The Board affirms this determination. (b) The Planning Department prepared Addendum No. 9 to the Final EIR. dated September 9, 2022 ("Addendum"). The Addendum evaluates the environmental effects of the actions contemplated in this ordinance, which are an implementing program of the Project evaluated in the Final EIR. The Addendum determines that: these actions would not cause new significant impacts that were not identified in the Final EIR: these actions would not cause significant impacts that were previously identified in the Final EIR to become substantially more severe: no new mitigation measures would be necessary to reduce significant impacts: no changes have occurred with respect to circumstances surrounding these actions that would cause significant environmental impacts to which these actions would contribute considerably: and no new information has become available that shows that these actions would cause significant environmental impacts. For these reasons, no subsequent or supplemental environmental review is required. The Board of Supervisors has reviewed and considered the Final EIR and the Addendum, and the Planning Department's determination is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in File No. 210585 and is incorporated herein by reference. (a~) On September 2, 2021, the Planning Commission, in Resolution No. 20971, adopted findings that the actions contemplated in this ordinance are consistent, on balance, with the City's General Plan and eight priority policies of Planning Code Section 101.1. The Board adopts these findings as its own. A copy of said Resolution is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in File No. 210585, and is incorporated herein by reference.

If the Zoning Administrator grants a complete or partial waiver of the Mayor Breed BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Page 1 requirements of this Code and the subject lot contains any Rental Units at the time an application for a building permit is filed for construction of the Accessory Dwelling UnitADU(s), the property owner(s) shall enter into a Regulatory Agreement with the City under subsection ( c )( 4 )(H) subjecting the ADU( s) to the San Francisco Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance (Chapter 37 of the Administrative Code) as a condition of approval of the ADU(s).
