got approval to the board of supervisors, and subsequently, when we were designing our building, by using cars factors to accommodate our parking, i can get pretty close to my 50% parking on my ground floor behind my commercial, and it eliminates excavation and spending a lot of money on unnecessary parking structure, which i think is kind of the goal of the new parking mandates in the city, so i currently am proposing to provide 54 spaces for residential. 52 are my car sackers, and two handicapped accessible. due to space constraints, i can only set in two, which again, i'm required to do one. so i'm dropping my total request from 69 down to 56, which is 13 less cars, and that is the reason we redesigned our parking proposal. if there is any questions i can and sit on the parking, or i will move on to the inclusion very aspect -- any questions i can answer any parking, or i will move on to the inclusion very aspect. my partners and i agree that we would do the include jerry housing requirements, which would be 17 units at 100% of ami onsite. again, after looking at our project and analyz

the ordinance would permit the uses to be approved by the manning commission on a case by case basis. the department is recommending one modification to the legislation, which is to allow large fast food restaurants which are currently not permitted mountain n.c.d. to be permitted with conditional use approval. the department believes that opening up restaurant and specialty food and bar uses to conditional use authorization process in the upper fillmore will allow them to analyze each application on a case by case basis. when it exceeds the neighborhood, the commission could deny the application. under the proposed legislation each will be judged on the merits of the application and the criteria and the manning code. over the years the department found that the existing categories for the restaurants are somewhat obsolete as business models change. partially intended to limit the chain fast foods rest aren'ts, the distinction is often new or emerging restaurant types and could be overly proscriptive on how businesses operate. the department feels refill controls provide adequate proc

in fact, nearly 70% of the high school seniors that were surveyed indicated close to 70% that they used by some form of public transportation, and more than 44% actually take more than one train or bus to get to school. as someone who used to work in the school district, i can tell you that it is clear that there are a number of low-income students that are having a tough time in terms of getting to and from school. in the 2008-2009 school year, 21,951 students or close to 40% of the students at san francisco unified qualified for free lunch, and 8000 students or close to 50%, qualified for reduce lunch. in this economy, families are having a tough time meeting their financial obligations. something that was compounded by the fact that the price of the muni fast has recently increased by 100%, going from $10 a month in may 2009 to $20 now. even though it may not seem like a lot of money, if you have a family that has a number of children, you can see that the impact can be pretty severe. in 2010, because of the actions of this board at the urging of individuals such as supervisor mirkarimi
