unit. this slide which is absolutely impossible to see on the screen. i'm sorry it's faded out. i hope you can see it in your packet is a cartoon of the four building types and again helps i hope will give you a sense of the variety and height and variety in building height from 2-4 stories. since there is such a diversity of unit plans, i'm just going to walk you through some of our typical unit plans for hillside. on the top of the page here we have a two bedroom over a shared garage. it's a 2 story bedroom unit of the garbage -- garage on that unit. the unit plan on the bottom of the page is a 3 story three bedroom town home located at grade that would appeal to a larger family and has the upgrades. on the left is what we are calling our skip stop units. these are units in a town home configuration that we design to respond to a very specific site constraint on hillside which are some of the sites that are backed up against the retaining wall that you might be able to see in this model.

what we see we review a lot of projects we see unit sizes are shrinking and smaller unit are a logical is response to a housing market that is an area not served and there notice way to position small unit without a doubt parking other than servicing e serving a population not getting anything delivered open the market this is a very sensible project in a constrained lot not about the merits of the project car free in a transient rich location one of the policy things that gets to us is that when we say that it is very, very difficult to build housing in san francisco and time consuming and risky on the day of hearing for entitlement one didn't know the deal it is subject to why fluks could be anything i've participated in housing recently and it is quite instructal to hear the members of the public say we've heard investors require 20 plus rates of return in residential housing in san francisco that's outrage how can be justified the uncertainty of the terms persists up to the entitlement we think that while we will prefer to see it onsite the option is perfectly norma logical reason

unit. so a lot of units, a lot of unit types but i wanted to throw them all on one side so you can see them in context. there is six categories of inclusionary units. the middle 10 1/2 bmr to 22 percent of median income and catch up unit that are 80 percent income. you can see how they fall out on the project. the catch up units first appear in phase 2a and one of the density bonus units in median income appears as well. i won't go line byline but you can see how they are laid out from the 10 1/2 percent units to the right which are the density bonus units. >> phase 1a will meet the compliance of dda to 22 percent. i want the turn it over to mr. zubra to say a few words about the project. >> thank you. good afternoon, chair rows -- it's a unique site with 75 -foot from the bottom. we have tried to take advantage of the incredible views and where there are some imposing retaining walls where it would face those walls. we developed a skip type where every single unit will have a view out to t

their costs of seismic retrofitting those are second in-law units those are units that are subordinate to the compared to other units in the building because of their location in the building and on the ground floor it is usually lower ceiling heights that may have side entrances and maybe less the exposure and this ordinance restricts the size of the units to be limited by the existing footprint in the building in the existing building therefore this creates a subordinate nature and therefore those units are known to be affordable by design because of the new units being built as supervisor scott wiener mentioned this is supported by many research academy research and looking at the rental prices on the rental listing on the websites and the specification of this ordinance is similar to the castro legislation before you a year ago that allowed for similar units it will require the units to be rent controlled in the existing building and provide administration waiver for certain planning code requirements for open space and rear yard and parking the planning department and planning com

and one hundred and 5 two bedroom unit unit and 99 studio units all of the unit were approved by the planning commission on may 1st, 2015 planning code section within the zoning district that the developer enters into an agreement to restrict the recommend for thirty years reduction of thirty percent in the amount of one dollar square feet only one other took advantage of those that concludes my presentation. >> colleagues i have representatives from rain tree and a i g with that are the property owners supervisor wiener. >> that was from green before. >> supervisor jane kim i want to appreciate you talking to me before this item i want to clarify for the public when i read this agreement over the weekend i was a little bit surprised to learn during the process a piece of the plan that loud the developers to reduce their inclusionary program for the insensitivetion of the neighborhood i wasn't around then but in today's market we don't have to provide any incentives for the building directors to build i hope you explain for the sake of the public a little bit of the backyard u backgr

housing crisis but in-law units and a more flexible approach to in-law units are 1 piece of the puzzle and this legislation allows owners of properties to add additional accessory dwelling units within the existing building envelope if they are participating in the city's established and well-defined mandatory or voluntary program and we're continuing to work with the department of building inspection to establish policies and guidelines to make it easy and as smooth as possible for people for people to be able to add these units within the confines of the building code and other codes. so colleagues i want to thank everyone who helped with this legislation and colleagues i ask for your support. >> okay. supervisor supervisor kim supervisor kim. >> thank you and i want to acknowledge supervisor wiener for his work on this legislation and i'm not going to bring up in this legislation today but just want to note for the future i do think it's important for us to create ways r ways for us to increase density and create new units in san francisco that being said as we provide this valuable

in the united states -- between the united states and britain. on the whole, it was germany that managed to enrage american public opinion much more than britain did. there were a number of reasons for this. the germans, increasingly as the war went on, allow their policy -- allowed their policy to be made by the military. the german military tended to see very much in terms of winning the war, and they tended to ignore or downplay political factors. you can see right at the beginning of the war, the germans for military reasons invaded the neutral country of belgium. whose neutrality had been guaranteed by a number of european states, including germany itself. so what germany is doing is breaking its own guarantee to belgium, invading a small country. the german invasion of belgium was going to help very significantly to tilt american opinion against germany. it outweighed the irritants of the british blockade, irritating though those were. increasingly, the american public began to see germany is something that had been dominated by militarists

at the conferences, the united states was there. the united states was often involved. think if they had been more formally involved, it would have made the league stronger and served to educate american public opinion. it by the 1930's, the united states was in the league, i wonder if you would have had the same isolationist sentiment. there was a lot of sentiment in europe for peace. a huge piece ballot in britain in the 1930's were happy adult population -- half of the adult population voted in favor of peace. that does not necessarily translate into being isolationist. the united states welded it into isolationism in a way that did not happen in europe, that you can want peace but still recognize you have to be engaged in the world. i don't know. it is very difficult. i think historians are now arguing that even in the 1930's, the united states was not as isolationist as we might think. there was a lot of talk, but the united states is still involved, particularly on its own doorstep. the good neighbor policy is a 1930's policy. united states was still very concerne

is threatening not to do that. >> that is a great point, the united states at the united nations may say these resolutions could go forward. other than bad publicity how does that hurt, there are people in the united states, certainly in israel and other countries that don't pay much attention to the united nations. >> there is some element of truth to that but publicity certainly is important. the reputation that israel has in the world is important. it cannot become a pariah nation which its enemies see, that's what united states can block at the united nations, passing resolution that unilateral ly pass resolutions, to refer to international criminal court or all sorts of things could be done. >> isn't israel already a pariah state? half of the resolutions in the united nations seem to conindex israel according to some reports. it's not like the relationship is getting any better with the rest of the world right? >> well, there's no question that other states in the united states don't recognize israel's right to exist. actually the reality is that states like saudi arabia and egy

states, the united nations.er as a journalist, moved by the harrowing images of prisoners in concentration camps. i traveled to the balkans recovered the horrors of the war in which kids were picked off their bicycles by snipers. bosnian muslim women were systematically raped, and some 8000 unarmed men and boys were murdered in the largest massacre in europe since world war ii. i also saw the citizens of bosnia look in false hope to u.n. peacekeepers to protect them. in the end they found rescue only from the u.s.-led coalition that finally intervened to stop the slaughter. [applause] i was chilled by what i saw, and chilled equally by the slowness of the world response. i didn't understand how the world could save we have learned -- could say we had learned the lessons of the holocaust, and never again, only to witness sergey pfau, the rwandan genocide, and so much more. those questions with the epic this behind my first trip to israel nearly two decades ago. so much of what i saw there left an enduring impress

3 original unit and the fourth unit where the sons live is the one that is probably not up to code again, i've never been in there it's appears to be an extension of the garage. >> we'll get clarification from the department. >> okay. thank you. >> okay. we'll hear from the permit holder. >> thank you, council for the permit holder we've stated in our papers all that the permit holder has been seeking to do is so see if this unit is legal shows entitled to do a property owner this is no one to say you have to wait for a notice of violation from 9 department of building inspection before you go proactively seek to find out if you're unit is in fact legal as we stated in our papers with the new ordinance that passes many fong was wondering what if anything the recommendation of an architect that inspected the premises and the architect indicated to her the unit currently referred to by the appellants was not, in fact legal and probably not up to code being that ms. functioning if not to violate the law any further didn't want to wait a notice of violation from the deniable she proactively

we call these units density bonus units. this is the redevelopment plan and the developer is proposing that six of the density units be affordable at 120 percent of medium income. you have seen 20 percent of medium income and this will be at 120 percent because that's what the d for d and redevelopment plan allow for. the remaining two 2 units will be at 80 percent bmi. let me get into what affordable unit is and allowing for density to increase for that if they increase the number of bmr units for projects. those additional bmr units do not account for so they have to be in addition to what was already required. so under the government code, the state density law, it captivates at 35 percent and provides a very specific formulae required number for additional units required. our shipyard redevelopment plan and d for d allow for density bonuses as well but lowers to 25 percent. you can't go under 35 percent for our framework. but the state density bonus law does allow for specificity for number of variations that are applied

lives in the upper unit this is the lower unit as a back unit where ms. functions son lives a spare bedroom type of situation not a self-contained. >> it's not a kitchen. >> right >> thank you. >> mr. sanchez. >> thank you. good evening scott sanchez planning staff with a rh3 up to 3 dwelling units under initial review of our electronic records we're report i see a appropriate printout of is an unknown so no conclusion whether permits there was one in 2004 for roofing that is unreliable and the permit which is before you to remove the illegal unit that notes the number of units as two, that said the san born records to indicate two units the building construction date in our database says 19 hundred it is unknown because probable constructed around the earthquake and those records may have been lost in under the code certainly up to 3 twnlz of it was at the maximum decency it allows for the process code requirements can be waived so information i wanted to provide for the board no open enforcement case for this property i'll be happy to answer any questio

next speaker, please. >> chris barker. >> i've lived in affordable unit in the mid market area i want to thank the supervisors for the controls and courage we need to pause so the city asking can fourth how best to balance the growth with its stated deserve to maintain the affordable units in this city i encourage you to vote yes thank you very much. >> hi, i'm carl hass i'm an effected tenant living in the market area in a building that turns out is commercial this would have been more to speak but my landlord serviced e south side of is with a retaliatory retaliatory lawsuit that proclamations, resolutions, recognitions and awards proclamations, resolutions, recognitions and awards patterson is the attorney we've lived in here since 1985 in the interim worked as a morph as an activist, as well, now a small business owner in the mid-market area as well if anyone tells us we're not losing our workers i can't hire people because my amount of money they can't afford the time and the commuter expenses to come to san francisco they don't need to come here symone of the reasons is because

unless it's a brand-new unit we don't get vision inside the unit. of course if there is a complaint we would and we would reach out. also we're thinking about possibly extending the sro program for education to the r2 units so building owner could reach out to us and we will come and provide talks, safety talks for any of the residents that are concerned for r 2.. currently we have that program for sros. and lastly i would like to talk about -- it's interesting because i know we had issues with fire escapes recently. the fire code and i know the building department looks at them the fire code did not adopt the provision in chapter 11 for maintenance and existing buildings and good operation of fire escapes. i suggest that we look into that and add a provision that they're testing annually that the ladders are operated and dropped annually and have a way to certify them on an annual basis. >> thank you captain. i have a question just generally about fire prevention. >> yes. >> my understanding is there are three different agencies involved. you have

there is a 2 bedroom unit on the backside on the page we've showed on the gore you wouldn't get 7 unit on a floor you'll lose 3 unit because of that and i also said to the client i looked this and said those are a little bit dis20r9d by makes a dent in the density that's a marketing question i think other question that was brought up here and shows in that plastic bag as well as another one we said all right. take it a little bit further and get it down to see if it works we tried to put a 2 bedroom on market street and, yes, we're successful we have a 2 bedroom 8 hundred and 42 square feet with a bedroom in the book and one adjacent to it is a very poor plan that is an architect plan it is a 2 bedroom do we want to do this make the sacrifice because it's a small unique we can technically do it as you can see the core of the building and the core of the building there's no place to put it on site and it takes up 70 to 17 of the floor plan is circulation it is a difficult one we looked at it didn't brush it off we didn't say we wanted all one bedrooms we looked at it with the planning d

back at the united nations. we are living in an era when anti-semitism is searching. we should -- is surging. we should all be discerned to -- we should all be discouraged. we saw rallies in paris where protesters marched on a synagogue saying " jews to the oven." we see congregants forced to walk through metal detectors to enter their synagogue. we have seen murders. the attack on the jewish school in to lose -- jewish school in toulouse. then there are the signs that we cannot see, but are no less chilling. jews thinking twice before shopping in a kosher supermarket. in 2004, all 55 countries in the organization for security and cooperation in europe convened in berlin to make an historic pledge to combat all forms of anti-semitism. when the countries reassembled last year, president obama asked me to lead the presidential delegation to the meeting. what i told the leaders gathered there is what you are you know. anti-somatic attacks are not only an attack to the jewish community, but the european liberalism a

in the united states if a carrier is flying from or two the united states and one pilot has to use them someone from the air crew is supposed to go in the cockpit so there is never just one person in there. >> guest: right. and the only exception is when one pilot comes out and they leave the cockpit doorope open but there is a food cart in front. so there is only one pilot in the cockpit but the door is open. for the public to know when the doors were designed they were designed with a logic tree so there is a mechanism for the pilot to lock out whoever is trying to get in. you don't want the bad guys protected from the people on the outside trying to get in. by having a second person in the cockpit, if the pilot was sick they could open the door. >> the pilot who was locked out should have had available a code he could punch in that would allow him to get back in but -- >> guest: the co-pilot inside all he has to do when he hears the buzzer someone is getting in he has 30 seconds to lock them out. the bolt comes in place and no one is getting in. >> what about the training programs t

states, and we are producing more oil in the united states. let's take note of that. but the truth is, we are 5 million barrels a day short. so this pipeline will be moving may be 800,000 barrels of oil from canada to the united -- from canada through the united states and it is going to a tax-free export zone. so we know what is going to happen. why is that important? it is important because the export young men and women in uniform every single day over to the middle east to protect the ships with oil coming into the united states that we import from kuwait, from saudi arabia from the other countries around the world. so why would be -- why would we be exporting oil out of the united states while we are exporting men and women from out of america to protect oil coming back in from countries in the middle east? that makes no sense. that is what this pipeline is all about. it is about getting some benefits for the united states climate change, big loser. dirtiest oil in the world. the canadian -- they are actually paying the tax in the event t

to refresh your memory on who that includes it's the united states, china, france, russia, the united kingdom, and germany making of those p5 plus one negotiations with iran. cleveland, ohio. caller: thank you for the opportunity. i agree, and i'm pro-negotiations with iran. as we know, over the past 10-12 years, we know exactly what they're doing. recently, the chief of the iaa said that there is no deviation there. speak and mr. and israel, they have more than 200 atomic ons. no one has inspected them. nobody knows what they're doing. iran supporting terrorist groups, hamas and hezbollah -- i have to correct that caller. they are not terrorist groups. they are related to the lebanon and palestine governments. it's a different story with iphoto. you can't compare isil with hamas or hezbollah. host: you bring up israel's nuclear program. some news with that last week coming out of the pentagon. the pentagon declassifying documents that were once labeled top secret that goes into detail about israel's nuclear program. that was released just prior to benjamin netanyahu speech on march 3

the supreme court case held that the child born in the united states of ianees immigrants from the united states. they could confer sit senship. that is not true of unauthorised children with a child. there are advantages of the role as it is understand. it's an easy role to administer. and facilitates facilitation by or into society and reduces the prospect of having an underclass which has been, for a long period of time, deprived of the rights for citizenship. is there a distinction to be made. someone that has a child in the united states, or gets a visa, declares themselves, versus someone who comes into the country across the sudden border and gives birth in a hospital in the south-west somewhere? >> there's a distinction about the 14th amendment and the context of the facilities. the operating word was discouraged. in the last immigration area this was a scixish. we have 40 million people, that abuse this privilege. obviously, if you have all numbers on this, it suggests that the numbers of foreigners that come here - it's a small number of people. it could remain steady. you could

in law units or dwelling units are the most affordable type of non subsidized housing and tend typically to be smaller on the ground level and they are typically older buildings and most of the infrastructure is already in place in the building and so it costs less to produce the unit than it does to create a new unit and they are dee centralized and spread out we're not talking about large numbers of units being placed in one location. as i note in various studies have demonstrated that these units tend to be much more affordable than other units studies out of uc berkeley and hud and aarp and of course there's no one solution to the housing crisis but in-law units and a more flexible approach to in-law units are 1 piece of the puzzle and this legislation allows owners of properties to add additional accessory dwelling units within the existing building envelope if they are participating in the city's established and well-defined mandatory or voluntary program and we're continuing to work with the department of building inspection to establish policies and guidelines to make it easy and

amy: have you had any discussions with the united states?n assange has repeatedly said his concern is not with sweden, that he would be willing to go to sweden, but he is never gotten assurances that sweden will not extradite him to the united states. and it is there he is concerned -- we just spoke with his lawyer michael ratner, who said there's an open investigation around wikileaks and charges of espionage and other such issues around the release of documents. >> well, when we were offering safe conduct or i should say rather asylum, before giving joy massage asylum, we consulted with the united states and we ask whether there were any investigations that have been opened. the answer was evasive. they simply told us that the matter regarding julian assange's request for asylum to ecuador was a matter that strictly has to do with your country. in other words, they did not give us an answer. but everybody knows it because this is public information, even though it is under seal, there is a proceeding that has been opened in the united stat

it is beneath that the decarlo dignity in the united states senate. this woman deserves fairness she seeks to leave the department of justice in the united states senate should be just in its treatment of her nomination. to think that we would jeopardize her opportunity to serve this nation and to make history is fundamentally unfair. >> i come to the floor today to address a very serious accusation leveled yesterday against republican members of this body by the democratic with the senator illinois. i do with some regret -- the senator illinois and i have been friends for many years served in a house together and here in this body of work together. that is why i was so surprised and disappointed in the comments he made yesterday on the floor senate comments that are totally inappropriate to be made on the floor of the senate. my colleague illinois said and i quote from the majority leader announced that are going to hold this nomination lynch until the bill which is pending before the senate passes, whatever that may be. then then he went on to say,

drugs to the united states. later on, there was an organization established by the department of ministry in cuba that was called mc. for marijuana-cocaine. huge operation. well eventually, cuban became threatened themselves when the soviet block broke up and there was no more money and there was nobody to support them. that's when they started to look at trying to control these flow of drugs in cuba. but that plan, which perez laid out in the very beginning when we discussed what was happening, the plan -- alpha for the normalization process, and plan b for basically upsetting the cuban community and creating as much difficulty in the united states as they possibly could. on april 14 finally carter established a blockade. the second round of flotilla floated in july. they went around the blockade. bring back up what was happening -- we're about done. the travel agencies, they were all cuban agencies that were involved and monitoringe everyone. cuba is now in the process. thank you, everybody. >> okay. we have n

been protecting these units no longer apply because this unit is now a single family home. had the second unit been legal, the landlord would have had to seek permission to merge the 2 units prior to withdrawing the second /tpraoupbt the market. and since the second unit was illegal, she was able to use this loophole to remove this unit from the loophole and to now say that this unit where this individual has been living for more than 10 years is no longer protected by rent control. by raising the rent 400 percent and demanding a five figure securing deposit, the landlord is effectively evicting this tenant. there's no way this individual can pay that amount. this is essentially an eviction. as we look at this tragic situation, i have asked the city attorney to draft a possible legislation to address this loophole including, not only a legislative fix here at city hall but also to look at whether or not the city can legally intervene including the action to prevent this individual from leaving this unit that is rent controlled. take the meaningful action to address the wide

instead of four units. specifically this legislation would do the following: any project that is proposing a final product of 300 square feet or less -- 3,000 square feet or less would be entitled like it is today and no change and this would ensure that people adding a bedroomoir expanding the kitchen or adding in in law unit would continue the way it is now and products with greater than 3,000 square feet the controls would apply for a single family home if it's increased more than 75% or additional unit adding by more than 100% and in those situations conditional use is required so there is significant latitude in terms of the size that it can be increased without triggering a conditional use. these controls only apply with truly dramatic expansions. on a vacant lot the controls would require conditional use only when the final project would be greater than 3,000 square feet. the legislation would generally require a rear yard open space of at least 45% of the lot area and the current requirement under t
