sanchez has said there is a difference with the planning code and the building code in regard to the housekeeping units. i don't know why they would have mentioned legalizing a ground floor unit whenever you have documentation on that it is a housekeeping unit because it is legally a housekeeping unit. and so it is not that it was illegal unit, i don't think. and there was a cfc in 1966 that did reference in the two units on that housekeeping room and that is pretty strong language of the cfc will hold a lot of sway, and especially going back, to the 60s. and so if i was to look at that i would say yeah, it is two units and plus housekeeping but that never got reflected on the permit, however, we think that as mr. sanchez said it is going from obviously, two or three full dwelling units now and i will say that i think that it is issues and build code wise i think that it is okay and bad language on the permit. >> and so, thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you is there any public comment? >> okay, seeing none, then we can take the rebuttal, mr. williams? >> steve williams again. and th

the planning code section. the gentleman's unit is a dwelling unit as defined in this section as defined a residential unit can be a legal conforming a legal unit or a legal non-conforming unit the law does not permitting provide a third definition the conversion to non-residential unit with non-legal status requires a building permit not a plumbing permit there's nothing that says its illegal and in the paragraph 6 of the regional occupancy two family dwellings there's no pending 90s notices on the non conforming status the september 2013 nova didn't mention it i'm going to be showing you a data sheet hopefully, you'll see that after two recent inspections on june 24th and july 9th any public comment? 2014 the inspections were inclusive as to the existence of a violation of the housing code with respect to the legitimate of the unit. after further use on july 21st entry the housing inspector said it shows an r-3 d 23 facility the legal description further indoctrinates defines two residential units on the grou

our outdated tax code is no help. with 15 different complicated overlapping provisions, we need a tax code that works for people. that's what 3393 does it. simplifies the tax code so that families and students can actually use and benefit from it as they pursue higher education. the latest unemployment rate for recent college graduates is 8.5%. more than 16% of them are underemployed. we need every tool at our disposal to put money back in the pockets of families so that they're empowered to make better choices. i urge my colleagues to support h.r. 3393 and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from michigan. mr. levin: could i ask how much time is there on both sides? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from michigan has 7 1/4 minutes remaining. mr. levin: and the gentleman? the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady has 12 minutes remaining. mr. levin: do you have other speakers? mrs. black: i'm ready to close. mr. levin: ok. let me just yield myself 30 seconds and then i'll yield

but when it comes to gangs, the convict code is the code of silence.alking about gang business can get members killed. >> they got rules, and we got rules within the rules, you know. among different people or among different races. but we have to deal with it. you know, i can't elaborate too much on it. >> the subject was clearly off the table when we sat down at pelican bay state prison with raul leon, alleged to be one of the leaders of the most powerful prison gang of all, the mexican mafia. >> how powerful is the mexican mafia here at pelican bay? >> i don't even touch on that right there. i don't speak on it myself, you know? >> raul leon had such influence throughout the state by assigning individuals to represent him. he would have people assaulted. he would have riots take place on his orders. >> serving a life sentence for murder, leon lives in what is widely regarded as the most restrictive environment in the state of california -- pelican bay security housing unit or shu. inmates are confined to their cells for all but 90 minutes per day, wh

so, colleagues, just a few moments ago we voted on a ordinance to amend our garage code to allow for more thing than just automobiles to be stored in our garages. that was the product of constituent feedback on [speaker not understood]. i want to thank the land use committee for hearing it yesterday and it blew past us, but i didn't have talking points so i didn't get to go through. when i announced it, however, back in april i also announced the scholarship opportunity for all undergraduate and graduate students here in san francisco. i think we all do agree that our city's youth are often under represented and under heard here in city hall. i wanted to try that for a change. the scholarship opportunity call on our city's college students to interact with our laws and codes on a new platform that was developed in partnership with the open gov foundation san francisco code.org. this brings policies to a more accessible and modern format that can be used and reused to bring the bay area to assessing, understanding and hopefully navigating the laws of our city.

the goal is to have all the zoning districts a in the planning code reference one definition. the phase one in the 3 phase process if approved by the board of supervisors it will amend articles 7 and 8 and consolidated the definitions. let me stress our intention to make a few subsequential changes as less as possible and there are also two subsequential changes from the northeast ordinances have been reviewed and voted on as follows: non-conforming surface parking lots built before 1985 are not grandfathered and xherthd and the new used for the unknown conforming use will require conditional use approval it is principally permitted even if the use established an industrial use those are left out of your case report and this commission has weighed in on those to recap those are extremely large over 4 hundred and 60 pages not to make land use controls that are not voted on by the commission the goals are to reorganize article 2 aren't lists the dings and that all districts reference one set of use dings. over the next month and a half the department will look at the provisions

the planning code and it will amend the planning code to eliminate them in the district 8 and the planning code amending the resident unit and a conferee requirement to amend the residents unit and clarifies the residential conversion of the single resident room and can i ask sdrirm controls when their passed any provision for grarthd how does it subcontract with the pipeline >> like all planning code amendments once it becomes legal everything is subject it that. >> okay commissioner antonini. >> yeah. a couple of questions for the future we just would be interested in hearing about funding sources for phase two the extension of the rail line to the transbay terminal because i think it's an important issue and important to have kind of important in the future for that item and the other thing we've had a discussion will the difference between an item we're going to hear later today or legislation that allows the lengthtion for the previously industrial areas and the other item that allows the conversion office to create a historic building make that more able to be legally through seismic

we also emphasize the code enforcement. sometimes we need to worry about eviction, how to deal with those. those are unexpected. but we are going to deal with it. then, because of all this starting july 1st, this year we have a new energy call and that's why you will see lots of people try to submit the permit this year by june 30 th to award the new energy code. also that's the budget proficiency that we have. keep in mind we learned from the last economic down turn. some of the project will be temporary and then we will budget those positions based on project as a temporary position. then this is summary of what we are talking about. the new legislation and what is the work load. for example, i mentioned about one time project. those are summarized here. we increased the capital reserve by $5.25 million. create a technology project reserve for $7 million. and increased the funding and repair fund by $5 million. and create a work order to access office. because we find out there is a time between access office to increase

and so, under the planning code we do, or under the building code we provide notice of that and in this case, the project was received, three, fee reports. and the first on april 19 of 2013. and the second on june 14, 2013, and parks and the site permit was issued and then one again earlier this year in january, when the project part of the first addendum which is when the fees are collected, the january 2014, and included the increased fees, and it was after january first of 2014, and the dispute between the departments and the project sponsor is that they don't believe that they should pay the indexed fees, and they believe that they should pay the fees that were in place in 2013. and however, the department's possible that because of the indexing requirement and because the fee was not due until 2014, that that is the appropriate time to pay the fee. and the note about indexing is listed very clearly on all three of the fee reports that were submitted to the project sponsor, and i don't think that there is any dispute about informing them of the requirement and the requirement for an

this code section has not been updated in more than 10 years. so, that is one of the goals of this legislation. additionally, we are adding the municipal id card fees to this code section. and also there will be municipal code fees will be subject to cpi beginning fiscal year 16-17. >> ms. [speaker not understood], i just had a question about municipal id cards that i know are utilized by many immigrants, some homeless and others. so, it's currently $15 per person and $5 for low-income, is that right? >> it is $15 for applicants who are 14 and older, $5 for applicants who are under 13, and seniors 62 and older. and we also have a fee waiver program for homeless residents. >> and i know mayor in new york city and many of their city councilmembers are looking closely at our city administrators, naomi kelly and others to set our system up. so, i think they greatly benefited by our several years of work, but how many homeless people also have the fee waived? i guess that came up when i was conversing with some of the new york city councilmembers. >>

the tax code is full of incentives. so let's rewrite that tax code. let's create an incentive to keep jobs in america. let's create an incentive to make sure that companies that pay a fair wage and make sure their operations are good for working people get a tax break. and let's disincentivize the effort to move american jobs overseas and to move american corporate offices overseas. that to me is a tax code with the right incentives for building not only a strong american economy with good-paying jobs right here at home but building our middle class and our working americans into a strong entity, a strong force for progress and economic growth. madam president, i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from ohio. mr. portman: thanks very much. i was listening to my colleague from illinois talking about the need for us to have economic patriotism and to keep people from moving jobs offshore. i couldn't agree more. but the way to do it is to fix a broken tax code and it's frustrating to me that we have the president of the united states, we

and general code plan amendments. this is for items 40 and 41. these two amendments are for your consideration. the amendment to item 40 is the schlage lock special use district. it specifies that the ordinance will become operative when the corresponding development agreement is effective. the amendment to item 40 specifies that the general plan amendment ordinance will become operative when the zoning changes and corresponding development agreements go into effect. so, these amendments will clearly tie all of the entitlements together so it's a clean document. madam clerk, thank you. mr. chair? >> thank you. supervisor cohen has introduced some amendments to items 40, 41. is there a second to those amendments? second by supervisor tang. colleagues, can we take those amendments without objection? without objection that should be the case.
