there is some exceptions under the code -- in our building code as well, the san francisco building code, and i think they're relevant here because it simply -- we don't want to stop people from doing landscaping projects that do not require a building permit. we get a lot of complaints on this type of work, but a lot of the times, when we go out there, we look at it and say it doesn't need a permit. it's exempt. in this case, i think the only reason it needed a permit was the fall protection, and if they put steps and spurs out there, and the way that commissioner fung asked about the handrails, we would like to see that so if someone tripped, they would have something to hold onto. the drainage issue, that was mentioned in the building permit, and then, subsequently, there was a plumbing permit obtained to install a catch basin for the back yard drains. that permit has already been completed, as well, and signed off. the only thing, and i think that probably would be something, if i was asking for it, if i'm allowed to do that, is the drawing that they have for the -- that system paver

actually a part of the planning code. what it does, it's actually quite specific and there's a very small diagram that's actually in the planning code that shows what it allows. it allows for an expansion from the rear of the existing building of no more than 12 feet in depth. if it's a one story addition, it can be no higher than 10 feet which is the same size permitted for a deck orfence that can be approved over the counter and also is below the site line. and that would amount to about 300 gross square feet of additional floor area in the structure for a typical 25 foot lot. it also allows for a two floor addition, provided that the existing structure is at least two floors. that addition is limited so that it has to have a 5 foot set back on either side of the addition, and it can't be any higher than the floor of the third floor, that the highest point of the second floor, in other words. in no circumstances can these additions go into the last 15 feet of the lot or the last 25% of lot area, whichever is greater. i

the code provides no specific guidelines, also, as to how often it should be recalculated. the zoning administrator uses his or her discretion to determine the appropriate timing of such updates. when the planning department conducted the neighborhood notification for this project in april 2017, the price out value was $1.64 million, and i just want to clarify one thing because this gets misconstrued in the press and just generally by members of the public and understandably so. some people take this to mean that it's the department's position that anything less than that value is considered affordable, and that's absolutely not the intent. it's that anything above that amount is demonstrably unaffordable. preserve that housing doesn't achieve the stated goal of 317, which is to preserve affordable housing stock. the permiltd holder provided an appraisal in this case in january of 2017 determining this home to be 1.64 million, and noting that this home was at the low to midrange and to easily be sold at a higher price. the associated new construction permit, which i'll disc

we have a code enforcement problem. we have two clear, unpermitted demolitions that dbi refuses to enforce. i could give you five more examples. today's demolition discussion was put on the agenda to address the lack of enforcement and dbi has talked around the issue of their failure to enforce code section 103a. failure to enforce building code is much more than building safety. the issue at 655 alvarado is replacing a 900 square foot house with a a story 5,500 square foot how's. how would you feel if you lived next to 655 alvarado. i would also like to mention that should be the adjudication at 214 state street if you had properly classified it as a demolition. thank you. >> thank you. >> good morning, commissioners. this particular project is slightly different than 214 because this one clearly you can see that there's nothing left out of the building. if what 214 states you can say that there was something, maybe the second floor that's been supported through shoring, this one has nothing. this is clearly a demoliti

that's actually in the planning code, this little diagram. it says that you can go, if you're in a district where you have 45% rear yard requirement, you can go into that rear yard requirement, never as far back as into a 25% requirement, never as far back as 15 feet from the property line, but go back from the existing structure 12 feet into the rear yard. if it's two stories, you can go on -- with maximum 300 square foot increase or maximum 360 if it's a two story addition onto a home. what does this have to do with approving housing? it takes up a lot of time. there is a whole list of things you can approve without notification. that is one thing called out. it has to go into the queue and there is a 4-month delay. it takes up staff time just reviewing these projects. so with something that came up when we were doing the improvement plan, that was something that is taking us away from looking at larger housing projects and approving the housing element. the final component which is the reason we're here today and the most germane to you, t

code compliant. >> so the scheme before you is not code compliant per se, so the commission for it to move forward has to grant an exception and the entitlement, the 309.1, the downtown project authorization allows the commission to grant that exception specific for exposure for these types of projects. so the current scheme in front of us is not a code compliant scheme, it's one that necessitates exceptions to move forward. >> commissioner richards: okay. so i guess the question for mr. winslow, and there's an elephant in the room here, please. and i'm struggling with this because at the last meeting, i was not aware of the udat's recommendations, nor was i aware of your feasibility sketch. so here's i was saying let's go higher, let's make it possible. and i kind of go based on what i've heard and what you're saying, you sketched out a feasibility that said we could do two buildings. it would meet the current urban design guidelines of which the current one violates nearly every one of them and has this issue with the neighbors, and it looks like you put two buildings with more stre

, with the government code.and i want to cite quickly, because i know many of you are attorneys, a case, cohen versus city of thousand oaks. it's cited by governor brown when he was attorney general, when he wrote contracts in interest office, and it's also cited, interestingly by the california league of cities, the government conduct guide. why is this case, cohen versus city of thousand oaks significant to this delay and how this one complaint and perhaps many others has been treated? because we all know, anybody who knows the law on timeliness that there are two aspects to timely requirements to city officials. one is a direct review of that timely requirement, and another one is a yourself jurksal review. well, this body made it clear that the court felt the timeliness was really a directory issue, not a jurisdictional one. in other words they weren't going to come down heavy on the city of thousand oaks, but what they do say is that however, the city council's failure, read ethics department's failure to f

i would say that the building is always required to be up to code. it doesn't -- the standard doesn't change when shall did-when it changes hands, so it's always required to be up to code. oftentimes, when a building does change hands, through title searches, prospective buyers will find that there are outstanding notices of violations, where the violations were just never corrected. and orders of abatement were issued which arelenes against the property that are just sitting there, waiting to be addressed. and in those cases, they are -- they are part of the process, i guess, of buying, that they will bring it up to code -- to address those violations in the notices of violation. >> supervisor fewer: so -- so then -- so you -- we could then kind of consider any investment in the property above what is required by code. would you say it's to increase the value of the property? >> yeah, that would be my assessment, yes. >> supervisor fewer: okay. and so then when tenants come and complain about violations, and we've heard some complaints today from te

california government code, the purpose of the code is to ensure that public officers and members of boards and boards themselves, without divided loyalty. and to guard against conflict of interest and the appearance of conflict of interest. the code is probably one of the less forgiving conflict of interest codes we have to deal with, so it's very important we have a sensitivity to its requirements. the code, shown on the slide, the members of the legislature, state, county, district, city, employees shall not be financially interested in any contract made by them in their official capacity or any body or board which they are members. what this means, a member of a board or body cannot have a financial interest in a contract that is before the body. and the body is not permitted to enter into that contract is there such an interest. it's strict in the sense that recusal is not a cure to this problem. the board members -- the board member who has the financial interest has the choice of either leaving the board, or divesting themselves of the financial interest. section b, which is b

as of right now, i can't support anything built in this city that does not pass the local building codes that we have here in san francisco. >> thank you commissioner johnson. >> i wanted to thank the member's office to put together a committee this is an issue that we talk a lot about. thank you. this is an issue we speak a lot about the commission, just the rising cost of housing production over all and i was shocked to see just how much the cost of affordable housing has skyrocketed. two years ago we were talking about every unit of affordable costs around $500,000 to produce and now those numbers are $750,000 to produce a single unit, so as that gap continues to widen and we struggle with ways to fund affordable housing, putting together a coalition of folks from industry, from nonprofits and committee organizations and other decision makers to come around and rally around a solution is the type of coalition i want to see because i believe the solution sits at the intersection of those different perspectives, so i am exciting to see what the three working groups come up with and what

but in favor of citing the section of the code whether it is the transportation code or planning code and we will refine that and introduce it to the board next tuesday. >> supervisor tang: thank you. supervisor kim. >> supervisor kim: i just what want to add a few words. i like some members out public was a little concerned about what this might do to projects we prioritized and vision zero. i think the change allowing -- permitting only five members of the board to appeal does change how my support for this when we originally included neighborhood appeal process. i was incredibly concerned because i know that that would put a lot of our vision zero projects potentially on the line. and of course would lead to many delays. but i am in agreement to pilot this for a year and to see what the outcomes of it are. i do want to support stronger communication relationships with s.f.m.t.a. and this board. i do want to reiterate last week i said that i felt like i had a good communication relationship with s.f.m.t.a. so, this has not been my experience on many of the projects i have been worki

that's the code. that's in the plans, too. >> i'm just still personally concerned that drawings, which have not been put on the record for the public to see, is not a way that we should be doing our work because if we're doing this for one, we should be prepared to do that for anybody else who wants to negotiate an outcome at the 11th hour. i cannot break my own position on that, and i will not. i just can't. even if i support a modified position on this project, i cannot do it. >> commissioner johnson. >> we have spent a good amount of time and conversation about this project, and looking at the plan,

and it would be co compliant with regard to ocsha requirement and the building code.now that staff's recommendation is to look at considering either going to wood or cladding the stairs in wood. the department's position is we would like to go ahead with steel but as part of that, we spoke with planning staff and elizabeth and looked at options of maybe doing wood and steel framework. we have samples. hopefully the package was thorough enough to understand what we were doing and trying to achieve in this space. and if not, staff here -- project team can answer those questions more specifically. >> ok, thank you. >> thank you. >> at this time we'll take public comment on this item. does any member of the public wish to comment on this. hearing none we'll close public comment. commissioners, any comments? the stairs are not visible from the exterior, they're only visible on the interior of the windmill? >> right. >> they're being reconfigured anyway so to me it seems like a steel stair would be reasonable. i don't know what other commissioners think. >> i'd like to comm

the code is inherently defective.hatever the next version of android that comes out, google will pump training dollars into it, it will have defects. the key for security is to recognize that and have a system in place to recognize that after-the-fact and patch and deploy the patches and get people to install the patches and remediate as best possible. how does that affect strict reliability? i am not entirely sure. android technically, and unix, is open source am a fairly open source. this really is a question of htc and samsung implementing the code. i strongly agree that the incentives need to change. i traditionally thought about this in, if you use bad practices you bear cost, but i'm interested in this strict liability idea, it is fraught, but something needs to change to the majority of the players to take it more seriously. again, there is still the supply chain issues. the ftc brought a case against a smart phone manufacturer that was white labeling a chinese phone, do they bear the responsibility that the ch
