there would have to be an active use that would meet the relevant requirements of the planning code. i believe the proposal they have now would have an active use on -- >> i don't care about the actual building, but in terms of the district itself, nonprofits are allowed, aretionv on the? ~ aren't? >> a nonprofit is just your status, you know, in the eyes of the irs. you could have a nonprofit retail store technically. function as a retail use. just because it's nonprofit doesn't mean that it's office use. i believe they will have walk-in functions when they offer medical services as well. it's been described. so, they're a neighborhood-serving retail or active uses that are also -- could be nonprofit. >> then a follow-up question to that. if for some reason a use that gets a conditional use under this provision leave, so the conditional use for that use continues to go with the space. >> so, let's say they had 12,000 square feet. so, another nonprofit neighborhood, supposedly neighborhood serving could occupy the space without coming for another conditional use permit. ~ >> so, this

in an alert stat us so we're prepared to respond in an attack mode. i don't often work with chief chaney in southern california, about a month ago we had 9 aircraft at our peak working fires throughout northern california

jail and i'm wondering if you can tell us about the sheriff's power to control the pretrial population? >> first of all, thank you for public defender jeff in an allowing us to participate in your 10th justice summit and also in recognizing the important anniversary. our statistics in the city of san francisco are higher. 75 percent of our jail population is a pretrial felony population. i think you have to put some numbers in context as to who is our inmates in san francisco city county jails. the population demography reflects 60 percent african american inside the county jail system, 21 percent white and 15 percent latino. we have done studies in the past that show that at least a 3rd of our jail population would be eligible for some form of pretrial release through programs that have been designed through pretrial release, they have been very effective. i know will looeng of our shop can report on figures. i can give you ideas of jail dates that have been avoided. the numbers are significant. supervised release, we saved 43551 jail days. for 2011, with court atable accountable was 88059 and o.r. is 25,000. county sheriff's have been empowe

an ipad attached to the wall. it didn't seem fully consistent with a residential use that you would assume someone has been living in an apartment that you may find personal effects afrnltd it didn't show especially in combination with the information that we had from the neighbor and the yelp reviews, there wasn't enough to clear a violation at that point and the fact that we continued to get reviews of people saying they are going to the property and picking up juices and they are picking them up at all hours, that was sufficient reason for us to produce a notice. >> thank you. >> we can take public comment on the merits. >> jonathan black on behalf of lily palacios. i just want to first state that the violations are continuing. as mr. sanchez pointed out on april 10th, there was a sign language class. you can recall where they waved around papers saying this was made up on a character attack. i would like to show pictures if i may. yesterday as i was talking to miss palacios about tonight's session she noticed someone walking out of miss wright's unit in an apron collecting boxes. you can see boxes of produce t

. >> there's an acronym that we use to use an extinguisher. what's that acronym? we're going to take turns putting out this fire. you can see that it will make a pretty big mess but at least it put out the fire in your house or something like that. so when we want to shut off electricity is when we see an outlet or something smoking, when you smell that burning smell or if you are not really sure or if you do smell gas and it's safe to do so. if i am in the basement with this set up, this sort of ragedy old set up with switches and i smell gas, is it a good idea to be flicking these? no, because there will be a spark. you should get outside and try to ventilate that garage or enclosed area. these contacts, these are one side and they go into the other side here. see how they are in there now? that's a closed switch right there. it's actually a 3 pull switch. there's 3 different pulls to this switch. they are open, now they are closed, if it's closed it should -- that's when you want to turn it on and off, when it's closed, and then open it if you have to. if you s

and we have with us today diane oshima, an old friend. ane used to work for the planning department in environmental review, right? >> that's right. >> you're now -- good memory. i have close relations with the planning department. >> true. >> very close. >> yes. >> my wife retired from the planning department. [laughter] >> and diane is now deputy director for planning -- waterfront planning at the port. so she knows what's happening now and a lot of the history. and chris verplank san architectural historian who knows a whole lot of history about the waterfront. he and i drove some portions of it the other day and took some slides we're going to used to as our spring board for discussion. we invite you all just to share your questions. we'll give you the microphone and speak into the microphone. i thought what we could do is start by taking a look at a few pictures of what san francisco looked like historically so we have some reference to compare the waterfront over the years. san francisco started as a port city. that's why we're here.

these regulatory items represent risk to us and that is something that we have to deal with and at some point some decisions may get made that will result in an impact to us. there is demand uncertainty. we're starting to see rebounding demand with the improving economy and the san francisco skyline that i will talk about later current population and demand projections there, increasing significantly is for san francisco. those are part of the smart growth proposals that have come out of abag. so the whole point of this is that try as we might to make projections of both supply and demand, there is a lot of uncertainty that we have to deal with out there. the same time we're dealing with various water supply projects. these are the up withs that are part of the water system improvement program. first in the regional water system supply, again the alameda creek recapture project. that is a plan to try to recover some of the water that were putting in for instream flow at appropriate times of the year. on the regional system dry-year supply the two projects that i talked about earlier, a transfer potentially at this point with the oakdale irrig

very robust launch vehicle and no money, no assets to develop the other systems that allow us to explore. met an evolving process for developing the vehicles and systems that we need. i am hoping we will be able to work with congress and the i understand survey will continue to fund us with the evolving system. >> i was wondering, what is your opinion on mars one? do you think it will succeed in its goal? >> i think he said it -- >> mars 1. >> do i think we will colonized by 2023? i do not know. i do not know what their plan is. who supportive of anyone wants to foster the development of a capability to put humans in the martian environment. i cannot comment on what they're doing or planning. the planl you that that we have in place, the asategy we have in place supported by the president and funded will have humans at least in the martian environment by the mid 2013's -- midhe mitt 2030 -- by the 2030s. thank you very much. >> good morning. i'm with independent technology consultants and aerospace engineering. what are your biggest challenges from congress and the correct ministrations and wher

us. we could sustain ourselves and the government could build a water tank. and an air a geisha system to water us fields. but. it was one we have people who like to work. it's a method. rather than receiving food for which we have not worked. it is a good work but we don't like to be idle. they could help us by giving us work. yeah . because for example we have no fields as a mother the mother when we proposed to our government to construct good water supply lines for our crops it's like talking to defeat is. we have appealed to the government many times. the government of kenya has utterly abandoned this district there are no roads water or electricity the state of kenya has built absolutely nothing. so it is through that part of the country. to be in. continuous form in their lives because that is literally true. because all. we breath we have to to know eighty nine percent of the people not going out today that night so it is a mental challenge for the country. we hope in that with a new constitution would up with will develop and those who come up short of my g

would not spill over onto the street or cause congestion. ~ ultimately this project will provide an ancillary use -- will provide an ancillary use to the station on 19th avenue and lincoln boulevard that will provide customers with a service they're eager to see. as you know there is not ape mechanical car wash in the south part of the city. [speaker not understood]. i'm available to answer any questions you may have. but in closing i wanted to draw your attention to a moment. gas stations that are closed and abandoned in san francisco. you can't really tell the difference between the colors, but there are over 60 stations here that have been closed either by discretionary action or have been simply abandoned. and i drive and i regrettably have to pump gas and would like to continue to do so wherever i need to. let me call up mr. sonny goyal and i'm available to answer any questions. [speaker not understood]. >>> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is sonny goyal [speaker not understood]. i'll try to make this brief. our family has been in the gas business since about 1978, started by my fathe

quite tricky position here is really flew here on a on a flight that he was booked to to go to have an us and there's no direct flights to ecuador where he's presumably trying to seek asylum he missed the flight to havana and now he's stuck here now there are several problems with that in order to get to cuba in order to get to ecuador he would need to buy a ticket the u.s. as you mentioned revoked his passport so he is unable to do that on top of that there's a separate issue with the ecuadorian saying that well legally technically if you want to apply for asylum he would have to do that on ecuadorian soil he can't get to ecuador without a passport many can't get to an ecuadorian embassy here in moscow since as you mentioned he doesn't have a passport nor can he get a visa in order to do that and at this point in time the russian government has not indicated that they are willing to transport him or do anything beyond essentially keeping him in limbo in the transit area at the airport where we're standing and i as i understand it says he doesn't have a passport since it has been revoked

no. 2, he asked us to sppbld and are able to stabilize an incident within 72 hours. his mantra is think big, go big, go fast but not fast. 3, he asks us to do this within a whole community approach, not only it make sure we utilize the whole community in the response because there's much more responders past the federal-state responders. there's the public being responders and there's many others, private industry need to be in that so we try to integrate that into a whole community concept. and also to make sure when we respond we respond to take into account the whole community. not everybody looks like me and you but we need to be able to take into account and service our elderly, infants and others that may need special assistance. with that, the purpose of this working lunch is to present vied a forum to discuss lessons learned and corrective actions taken over the past decade with years of focus on dod support to civilian authority with relation to wild fires. populations continue to spread into formerly wild areas i want to focus on how our capacity on wild lan

lighting is both the greatest use of energy consumption in an office building, but we're maximizing theral daylighting. we also have light sensors that minimize the use of artificial lighting. >> by having light outside the building skin, what that does is we are mitigating it before it hits the glass. we have a high performance, low formal gain graph. the system does not have to work as much to either cool the building or heat the building. >> this building also incorporates or utilizes under floor system for delivery of heating and cooling to the building. this in conjunction with the high efficiency equipment that we've installed in the building reduces the consumption of energy for heating and cooling by 51%. >> we have two destination elevators. destination elevator save 35 to 40% of the electrical energy over traditional elevator. these elevators save energy by using a regenerative drive. when the cars are going up empty or down full of people, they generate electricity that goes back into the building grid. these elevators have energy by grouping people going to the same floor in

almost everybody that i see in the park has a smartphone they're using text messaging they're using what's an app they're using facebook and twitter to really in real time document and really care for each other in a big way we're seeing it in the barricades that have come up around the park for example a really sophisticated use of technology by just young high school students who are guarding the park against the police and they're holding them back they're really they're really winning and what are the main grievances you've been finding from people you've talked to i know that you mentioned it's really more of the you know anti gentrification protests or something very much larger in pyar li would you say that there's still spontaneous at this point is there more organization emerging and have there been any demands listed so far they're coordinating very closely and they're using facebook you know and also many other tools to really coordinate and what seems to be emerging lately is an attempt to try to build a political coalition to unite all of these disparate groups and really the opp

we prayed, "give us our daily bread." >> stephen: the lord's prayer is an us not an i.me this day my daily bread. screw the other guy. >> you got it. stephen: there's always time for amendments. >> you know, steve, the basic premise of the american dream is that if you work hard, you can make enough money to have a better life, a good life, and you can make a better life for yourself and your children. that doesn't exist anymore. my friend jim hightower, the populist in texas says the real question is not why so many people fall through the cracks. the real question is why are there are so many cracks? >> stephen: can we talk about one other thing? you work for l.b.j. you were there when the voting rights act was passed in 1965. >> in the room. stephen: what do you think he would say to the supreme court for their decision yesterday and keep in mind this is a family show. >> you know what he would say? he doesn't understand why clarence thomas who would not be on the supreme court if it had not been for the voting rights act pulled the ladder up after him >> stephen: cl

an 8.0 event on the san andreas fault. we're working with other city departments so they know what to expect from us. it's been an education process. as we started down the road i think there was an expectation all water and sewer was going to be in operation in san francisco after an ert quake. that probably is not going to happen. it's a little bit different having several blocks in your population out of water versus out of electricity or gas or cell phone service. it's a little bit different level of emergency. after an earthquake what we're designing for is to have the high level fire system more or less immediately. there may be homes, individual service connections, which could be out of water for quite some time and that's where my utility has to interface with other departments to make sure we're getting water to people through humanitarian stations, red cross, mutual aid is a huge part of this with our federal and state partners. but those hand off points after a major event and educating ourselves what we're doing and not doing is a big part of the life line process that naomi is running an
