this is an interesting concept. i don't think i've ever seen a case like this where a owner has offered electively to create two below market rate units without any requirement to do so. and i think it's a good one because, as was pointed out, even though they're rent controlled, presumably the rent in pacific heights is fairly high and, you know, it's not going to go down any. when there's a vacancy, the rent is whatever the new rent is. and, so, -- and they're vacant now. affording to what my understanding is, if they were under inclusionary units, that's the 60th percentile ami, which means if they're rental that's what they would have to be rented for. i don't have the number off the top of my head. it would depend how many people you have. presumably you wouldn't have more than two per studio, although you could. that would -- i think that's the limit. and that sets what that rate is. if they were sold as condos, then it would be 100 percentile, it does make ami. there isn't anything that exists in pacific heig

this is a guiding document with key concepts.ross the communitiesç andç asked tm what is it about recovery you have lived through, what would you like to see going forward, and what are the key concepts we need to develop. çthe first thing was leadershi. çthe mayor was up here. çyou look to your localñr officials and who they designate when it comes to how we will recover. the industries were thinking of pulling out of communities. when the leaders of the communities said that we will rebuild, our citizens are employees of these places. how are we going to rebuild to make that happen? they are looking for leadership. they are lookingç forç pre and post disaster planning. does anybody here have a recovery plan that is older than two years? one year? does anybodyç have a recovery plan in your community? [laughter] nancy, you have lots of work to do. çlooking at the post-disaster organizations and how you manage recovery, everybody comes together, what resources they can bring to bear and provide. one of the key concepts we

and then lastly, this is just the concepts that illustrates 19th street. a concept for cranko park the adaptive reuse for slip way four and some of the development parcel and with that i will let kathleen talk about the historic core. and that was david dupray who was immersed himself as the planner. >> i have led up the development side efforts. the 20th street historic core, when we looked at this project, we realized that we needed to move forward, these buildings were falling down, we really want out and we got extraordinary interest and went through a process. we were here in july and so i am not going to go through much detail whaf is coming from the actual team. what i wanted to point out is that this is drawn very tight to the buildings because we knew that we needed somebody who could figure out that box. but there is a lot of coordination, that is going to be needed along the red line, is there a michigan street there, you didn't know that but there will be a reopened michigan street. we are going to have coordination to the cove area to the nort

should we have a more robust concept

round of outreach last year, existing conditions and best practices research to develop initial concepts and ideas, trade-offs through achieve better market street goals. going forward will be developing concept design alternatives for community workshop later this year. what is the better market street project. the overarching goal is to revitalize market street from octavia boulevard to embarcadero and reestablish the street as the premiere cultural civic transportation and economic center of san francisco and of the bay area region. we have identified some specific goals around place, mobility and economic development. in our project approach, we're looking at the street as one street, with six unique districts, and really three major public spaces that punctuate that street, those being embarcadero, holiday plaza and un plaza. the street has one identity, two key components within that identity, one around place-making, really what is market street as a place, what is its identity, what is its public space hierarchy, what's happening in the major public spaces today, and what's reall

that we are leaving behind, and we haven't developed a new concept yet. >> rose: mr. zbig. >> there are two powers next to syria who are very important and very relevant to the future of what happens. one is saudi arabia. we have to be very careful about that because the saudis are deeply involved right now in fanning sunni shiite conflict in sir, i can't is that really in our interests? are we really supposed to be supporting that? and how will this impact .. on the iranian reaction? i think that warrants some caution. the second one is turkey. turkey is important 18 million country, 18 million people, it has the best army in nato, outside of the united states, actually. what about the turks? you are going to have an american involvement in arming the rebels, potentially an american engagement in the conflict i think we have to pay much more attention to what the neighbors want to do. if the turks want zero to intervene fine we can back them, if they don't want to intervene, i don't think the united states should be ahead of them. >> rose:. >> i agree with that. but

some concepts to the community later this fall. this is kind of a project looking at a medium to long-term implementation. we're looking at at least 10 years out or so. which is different from the next effort more of a shorter term effort to improve 19th avenue. this is the 19th avenue build out project. this project is in the environmental and caltrans current state. i say caltrans state department of transportation which retains design jurisdiction over 19th avenue which serves as state route 1. so, we have to get approval from caltrans to do any changes to 19th avenue. and this project is looking to implement pedestrian corner build outs as well as transit build out along intersections -- at intersections along 19th avenue. this project is being coordinated with sfmta transit effectiveness project. it is looking at ways to improve bus travel time and reliability performance on bus lines in san francisco including 19th avenue. that is looking at a number of options to improve bus services, including making changes to the bus stop

so the law all of the time develops concepts that scientists are interested in studying. it might be competency, for example. well, competency is really a multifaceted construct from a legal perspective. it could be competency to be executed, it could be competency to commit a crime. it could be competency to contribute to the decision as to whether voluntarily commit yourself to a mental hospital. it could be competency to participate in an abortion decision. so competency means many different things. the first thing you have to do as a scientist is ask the question, well, what does the law mean by it because if you want me to measure it, i have to somehow apply it. so going back to the question of free will, because a scientist can't operationally define it, they can't measure it, they're not really that much use to legal debates about free will. now, what does it mean on the legal side? i actually think the idea of free will or what is often referred to as volitional control plays a very big part in legal systems, but i think in the legal systems, we don't mean it empi

and again this image shows the overall concept of what the building could end up looking like. staff recommendation is approved and i am available for questions. >> do you want to go to public comment? >> let's go to public comment. >> is there any public comment on this item? >> yes. >> please come forward. >> good afternoon commissioners, general manager, phil ginsburg. i would like to draw your attention to the restrooms at the end of page street and meets golden gate park. there is a restroom there if anybody would care to do the math or the statistics would far out weigh the use of the portsmouth square bathrooms but nobody takes it upon themselves to even think about remodeling, revitalizing, improving or even making them accessible to any of the people that use golden gate park, but yet here we are. betty anne young community center, portsmouth square restroom. it's like a different class of people. they get everything they want. we get nothing. the elite, the fastist part -- >> i want to caution you that federal, state and local law prohibits discrimination against or h

of these, of future warfare is related to the scientific development concept.o there are a number, a number of initiatives that are related to this, this concept that hu has put out. now, in terms of force structure implications, the forces that would be necessary to support the new historic missions, i think you can automatically draw them out. if you have a taiwan contingency and you need to address that, it's very, very straightforward to look at what kinds of military capabilities do you need to support a cyber mission, a space mission, a taiwan contingency, addressing maritime sovereignty disputes? i won't go bullet by bullet to discuss that because i know we have a time limitation, but certainly in the q&a i can draft what those force structures are. but by and large, i think the bottom line for me is there's a good argument to be made about the continuity of policies that have been pursued by the chinese military over the next decade, and i guess we will know for sure when the party congress comes out, and they start making announcements about the state

now, big concept, easy to implement. as rob was talking about, we're out at ocean beach, we're in a tent, we're 72 hours in, we don't have a lot of equipment, all i really needed to have was a nice map and to bring everyone to that map so we would have that common operating picture so everyone understood what we were doing. two things that were brought to me when we did our after action talk. one was a shared mission. folks in the military, it was clear to me, and we had a great working relationship, they are going to do what we need to do from jump street. they are just going to make it happen. but it would have been important to me, i could have used that vehicle, the common operating picture, to show what that mission was. why are we clearing specific routes? we often in the city jump right into our projects, we do this day in and day out, i know which routes have to be cleared, but if i had used the common operating picture down at ocean beach and showed them from the military why we were clearing certain routes, aga

>> i think the department thinks the concept of the legislation is great. the reason we said not to make a recommendation because the legislation had not been finalized yet and introduced and we felt uncomfortable telling you to endorse something that wasn't actually there. my understanding is it hasn't been actually introduced, although they do have the language ready. i think dominica can speak more to that, so. >> so, the actual amendments that will be made to the legislation that was sent to you will be introduced at the land use committee on october 1st. so, they have not been introduced at the board level, but they've just now been finally drafted. and i think for the most part, all parties -- i can speak for supervisor olague's office. she has accepted i think all but one of the changes. so, she's certainly happy to make these amendments on monday, but then also if there are additional points to negotiate, then we're willing to discuss that at the land use hearing. there were a couple of people that called the office and asked if there were guideline

but the artist would have to have a capacity for monumental concepts, with a sense of color and scale appropriate to the site. a unanimous choice was spanish artist joan miro. born in the catalan city of barcelona in 1893, miro has remained close to the land and its people. but as a young man in paris, he joined th friends like max ernst and jean arp in the emerging surrealist movement of the 1920s. in his painting "the farm," miro's characteristic symbols and themes began to appear: serpentine shapes, checkerboard patterns, infinite sce represented by the moon or a star. in 1922, he painted "the farmer's wife," the ancestress of countless female symbols that also became a continuing motif in miro's art. in 1924, his art broke free of gravitational constraints in theurrealistic world of "harlequin's carnival." over the years, he developed his own personal symbolism, and in the 1950s, the scale of his art grew with such works as a mural at harrd university and "the wall ofhe sun" for unesco in pas. as his work grew in size, miro continued what he termed "a process of simplification." h

so i think we both shared the concept that interoperatability is the key. we need to continue to work to ensure that we have interoperatability with the federal, state and local governments and next year i think we'll take this exercise to another level. i'm not sure what that's going to be, but between now and then we will be working to ensure it's successful. >> i told my boss that based on all the planning we did, the training we did, the exercise specifically functional exercise specifically, we're far better prepared to respond than we were 6 months ago. i think we were prepared then but as a result of all those efforts we're that much more ready. three things i broke down in my aar, planning, the office of emergency management, there's something like 19 entities that participated in this exercise. that's an overwhelming amount of different agencies to bring together for one agency. we do a lot of training, we run a lot of drills, but it's not on that scale where we're working with 19 different people or entities. execution, extremely smooth. the integ

that's a sophisticated math concept, you were not wrong. i bet you will grow up to be a mathematician. i will give you my address you will have to send me your first paycheck because i taught you this. at this point we would like to thank you very much for coming. if you have any questions. i don't know if we want to open it you will for questions. may be just a few? okay. yes. what's your question? >> how do we get in this program? that is a good question. >> it's an interesting question because the answer with the 3 of us is the same. what i want to point out i look like i might be from india when i talk i sound like i'm from america. my parents are from india but i was born in america and i started this dance when i was 18. i was not a baby e. both charlotte and an drea did as well. charlotte at 15 years and joe airna and i 15 years. that's how we got in this program. we practiced very hard. very, very hard we practiced everyday and we have been been in india practicing 8 times where our teacher is from. yes. >> yes. >> well there are si

prime minister, "you are the one who believes in the concept of separation.well, look at east jerusalem, "where you have arab neighborhoods "that are exclusively arab neighborhoods, "where israelis don't live in them, "israelis don't go to them. "what is the logic of keeping them under your sovereignty if you accept the concept of separation?" and the israelis found that to be a pretty compelling argument. narrator: so the negotiators drew maps that would split the city along ethnic lines. the bigger problem came with the oldest part of the city, a zone whose importance was all out of proportion to its size. ross: the old city is one square kilometer. within one square kilometer there are at least 57 holy sites-- holy to three separate faiths. the area is so small that if you spring a leak in one quarter, you have to turn off water in the adjacent quarter. so concepts of sovereignty as they apply to the old city are a little bit more complicated. narrator: at the core are the haram al-sharif for the muslims and the temple mount for the jews. these jews are pr

more of a bar concept. this business employs seven people, several of whom live in the area. there have been no incidents and there was tremendous support until the last 24 years there was a rush to ditch the boat. it has a limited live entertainment permit with all the rules and regulations in place that would mean he would have his permit revoked if he didn't stop the music at ten, so there are many checks and balances in place. this business is only open until 12 midnight and the goal here is to maintain and sustain a business in a block that i am very familiar with because i had a friend that lived at the hotel and i will tell you walking down there yesterday it's a vastly improved block. the businesses are looking wonderful, the architecture and the decor and i will turn it over. >> good afternoon. i am william biglow and i am the owner of the poor house. in 2005 i came before you to request a permit and since that time i have had no complaints by the police department, the fire department and visited
