i have a quick question so if i'm a nail salon and offer chair massage is that part of this amnesty program. >> like a completely separate service not the nail - i know when you get our nails duplicate you sit in a massage chair but that's in the process - >> no, they do anyone else's. >> i believe you can they can clarify but i believe if you add anyone else yes you'll have to go - >> through the cu. >> for a new establishment correct act for a new but if you're existing you offer massage in your salon. >> what the amnesty program we're going to fold in everybody. >> the did you want has a definition for massage and there are - it's not - what is that definition it explicit include hand massages and foot massages. >> so whatever. >> for the planning code for a chair massage if you're getting a massage in the open of it's a chair massage it didn't require a permit. >> okay. >> any other questions? thank you that was a little bit told us >> i looked at every possibility. >> thank you for being here if there's no other questions commissioners time to open up for public comment okay and i will

. >> upon request they've submittal i'm reading from the amnesty program under the determination of the will accessibility does the anyone else establishment submit to the planning department everything for the finding under subsection b on behalf of that's the is what. >> the requirements in the bulletin. >> the upper part. >> correct. >> so the planning department would check again, whether the dpw requirements are met correct. >> they will check to make sure for instance, in their functioning before january 19th that the business license was received from january 19th, etc. the planning department is checking using those documents to make sure their complying with the amnesty program. >> so the clearance of the dpw as of those conditions may not be acceptable to the planning department potentially because they've gone through the dpw and successfully gone through that process. >> in terms of the - >> the compliance with those conditions probably can you have a turn out down from the planning department and if they don't comply with the requirements potentially. >> okay. the these com

about the amnesty program under the amnesty program they talk about the massages in my you might include an accessory eye for the amnesty program. >> i believe see just to confirm that the accessory use is included. >> that's my understanding yes. >> dpw and planning correct. >> correct. >> for the cu the amnesty is for dpw correct. >> commissioner l. riley you have a question. >> i was wondering the accessory use is a cu process according the planning. >> correct. >> in terms of dpw for the permitting there's two exemptions they list in the health care concurrently so fits it is a state facility a hospital or medical facility or a barber or 'coz motive that defenses it in the process of their services they don't need a permit it says health provider but that will be struck out. >> so they'll need a cu. >> they will i'm sorry a dpw but in terms of the cu accessory use is required. >> so it is required. >> yep. >> thank you confusing. >> so just fire - can i ask diego for a chiropractic office medical services is permitted and massage establishment are not permitted but having massages th

should have a sunset we propose up to 18 months and an outreach to talk about the amnesty program and conducted with the massage industry applicant that concludes my presentation. hopefully it was a valuable plan of summary. >> when you say closed when a business is closed is that closed for violation mitigations or short closer or it means you've been shut down. >> shut down with respect to the one year what's drafted in the ordinance that will be shut down because the planning code violations and other violations. >> commissioner ortiz-cartagena. >> so to clarify so i got a list of permits so the out call services are parking garages that make out calls. >> that's what i believe. >> and required to get a cu. >> we don't regulate that under the planning code. >> okay. so in theory okay. okay. >> so commissioner l. riley. >> so is it out pour of discussion (inaudible) more expensive than the petitioner they're basically doing the same thing. >> that's a public health what are you referencing. >> i'm looking at the permit at the it is 1 hundred and 46 for the practitioner. >> those

>> we have largely tried to shape the amnesty program. for the large part what we have shared with you today already shared at land use committee in terms of the conditions. in terms of the conditional use requirement i have her the from the businesses if there is owner ship that is also cmtc certified there may be some exemption for the process for them. unfortunately we are not able to pursue that because there are also establishments out there that have exactly that structure and have violated the laws. it's not as easy as saying the legitimate ones we'll apply the standards to you and the illegitimate ones we'll apply different standards for you. >> did you talk about that or in general agreement? >> yes. we've explored. i can't tell you how many different permutations of this legislation already. >> okay. now build into legislation is the notion of a 3-year review, is that correct? >> that's correct. so this is not, i know we got some calls where people were concerned that this meant you are on a probation period for 3 years, that's

it's complicated in terms of the amnesty program. this is the best solution to come up with to capture the most people and they would be allowed to continue in operation. >> depending on how this goes, if we get to this point where legislation is enacted and the zoning precludes it, what happens day one. am i out of business or do i have 18 months for remediation. what happens? >> that is something, the legislation does take effect within 30 days right after passage of the board. i think we are going to do our very best. we are still trying to comb through the list of what businesses those involve. so once that happens, once we have that information we are going to try to figure out what that plan will be. you talked about or you mentioned non-conforming uses. we actually thought about can we just lou -- allow some of the establishment grandfathered in for non-conforming uses. these businesses had to have been legal at the time than whatever the current zoning was in place. unfortunately some do not have the proper permits. so again,

in terms of the planning code, again, we are making the amendments to the amnesty program as outlined earlier, we plan to exempt the sole practitioners and establishment owners of conditional use process up to four using the space and extending the time when establishment has to be shutdown due to any violations as mentioned currently it's a 1 year requirement but require 3 years before the new establishment can open. those are in a nutshell the amendments that will be contained in the substitute legislation. >> thank you very much for that review. >> so, commissioners upon that file you can either take official action tonight. supervisor tang did say that the likelihood is that these two items will go before land use committee in early may. we have a commission meeting on the 27th if you want to reserve making a final recommendation upon reviewing the revised legislation once it's substituted, but it would be helpful to at least put some statement on the record for me to at least be able to provide something for the supervisor and to the other supervisors in terms of what you support

>> we have largely tried to shape the amnesty program. for the large part what we have shared with you today already shared at land use committee in terms of the conditions. in terms of the conditional use requirement i have her the from the businesses if there is owner ship that is also cmtc certified there may be some exemption for the process for them. unfortunately we are not able to pursue that because there are also establishments out there that have exactly that structure and have violated the laws. it's not as easy as saying the legitimate ones we'll apply the standards to you and

so in relationship to while we have the amnesty program but a direction to the dbi or the planning department that the city is going to have businesses coming through the office and help them prepare for that and ensure that process and we can invite the department of building inspection and ask are they going to be requiring blueprints for these very small entities. i shouldn't say small, but some of the places are not that big or their tenant improvements. a lot of the tenant improvement don't involve major construction. what are going to be the requirements to help these business through but you can provide some direction to the department about some expectation you would like to see to help the businesses through this process. >> i mean it's a universal truth that conditional use is a burden of both time, money and effort on any small business regardless of the profession. i think as commissioners here we would never advocate for increasing the burdens on small business to open and operate. that being said, the conditional use process exist for a reason and there are good reasons for it.

second thing that was really important to the community that i wanted to provide to you is the amnesty program. what are we doing about all the establishments or practitioners who have been in existence already and for the most part have an exemption. this is different from what the planning staff presented to you last time. sf govtv if we can have the screen here. all right. so we want to be able to allow existing massage establishments that are operating without proper land use approval to legalize as a massage establishment and this would also be dependent on zoning controls where establishment is located at the time of the application. so we would allow them to continue in operation to continue the land use approval and participation in the amnesty program is dependent upon the massage establishment having the following. these are the same criteria. a valid business license prior to january 2015 and valid certification practitioner permit prior to that same date. they have been functioning in the state before that same date. there are no open violations. enforcement issues, 53 dph, departm

>> i wanted to go back to the amnesty program and it's a little bit fuzzy in my mind. could we talk a little bit about what's going to take whether hospital or massage practitioners are going to be able to continue operating while they are complying and how much time are you proposing to give them. >> so sf govtv if i can just put the document on screen again. at the bottom you can see we are going to require that practitioner submit an application to dph permitting process within 90 days of the effective date of the ordinance. so you only have to submit it within 90 days. if we can complete the process, hopefully you can complete it as soon as possible but we are not going to penalize someone for not completing it within the 90 days. you just have to show a good faith effort. and we will allow those to continue in operation while on going this process. our goal is to not put people out of business. >> much of the process depends on the responsiveness of these other agencies, correct? >> correct. we understand that. >> as long as the application is in within 90 days, t

. >> right and to explore the elements of amnesty program. correct? >> and again there is one more meeting if you want to take final action after you see the amended legislation or you can go ahead and take action tonight. >> okay. >> i would like to see it again. >> you would like to see it again? >> yes. when it's finalized. >> okay. do we want to have a motion to at least see the progress? >> yes. absolutely. i would make that, i would definitely like to make a motion i do support the progress and i really appreciate supervisor tang making it up to four. i think that's really important. i do agree with commissioner dooley. it's like another burdensome. it's something else that has to get conditional use. i think this whole city is going to get conditional use if we don't stop it somewhere. i would definitely put forth a motion to hear this again but support what supervisor tang has done up to now especially with the common scenarios. >> all right. do we have a second for that motion? >> i second the motion. >> okay. all right. so commissioners, i w

the issue, the immediate issue is -- should the amnesty program, that the president has announced, stay in the deep freeze until the full lawsuit is resolved. if the president is allowed to go forward with it the cost c will impose on the states are going to happen, and they are not going to get that money back even if they win the lawsuit. their claim is, let's put it all on hold until the underlying lawsuit is resolved. and then go forward or not go forward. mark: what president would be said -- what precedent would be set if the court decides on this? mark krikorian: what they are deciding is can the president on his own, without congressional at a solution, go forward and do something of this magnitude, this nature. understand, unlike the little intro the beginning of the segment, this is not about shielding illegal immigrants from deportation. the president five years ago said he wasn't going to be deporting people. this is an affirmative grant of work permits, so security numbers, driver's licenses, the earned income tax credit, eligibility for affirmative-action preferences. the

things in the first place the answer is to watch it happen right now over president obama in the amnesty program temporarily put on hold. we'll see if it goes to the supreme court or not. as long as it is more palatable to the hispanic vote and the media by pretending you have a plan that doesn't end with closing the border and at least doing something about the folks who are here illegally, you don't have a solution. both right and left it is cynical. they want cheap workers for the corporation. no one is in favor for the individual. everyone in the country illegally will not say everybody ought to be deported. everybody ought to be assessed and we had to determine whether they are in a state for -- went to the united states and on an individual level whether they get to stay or go. it is bewildering how the irs goes to 100 million tax cuts down to what i ate for lunch six months ago at a kosher restaurant and whether his business lunch or not but they can't track down 14 million people and decide whether it be good for them to be in the country or not. >> host: ben shapiro from charleston, wes

at the criminals which is the same of the president's purported justification for the illegal amnesty programallow the focus of prosecutorial resources on violent criminals. it strikes me there is a fairly serious problem with that argument. the number of criminal aliens deported from the interior has declined 23% from last year and declined 39% since the peak in 2011. so when it comes to violent

program. largely because the amnesty advocates oppose it. they do not like it. we have far too much action on behalf of this president and the secretary of homeland security responding to advocates for illegal immigration rather than serving the lawful interest of the united states. it just is. so today, only 35 programs our existing -- that is less than half of what was. they should have been expanded. tell me, do you believe it is a good program? should be expanded, or do you want to see it with her on the er on the vine? johnson: i believe 287-g is a good program. the biggest problem we have is our ability to work with local law enforcement in moving criminal aliens was the jurisdiction issue. 239 jurisdictions were refusing to work with us, or imposing limitations. that is a problem. so, we ended the secure communities program and we replaced it with the program that i believe resolves the political and legal controversies. and it takes two to dance. i am now out there meeting with sheriffs, police chiefs, governors, mayors, to introduce a new program that t
