without any legitimate basis, the pill should be denied. it is argued that this is against the showcase review. this is impossible since we don't live in the showplace square. i might not have reviewed their >> plan, she said. she attached a different plan which she says is actable -- is applicable. this suggests that our homes are in showcase square but they are not. if you look, this is above and to the left of our home. the plan also describes where it is and qualitatively, this is a warehouse in an industrial district has recently been developed. it describes this as a former light industrial area. by contrast, our neighborhood has no industry. there is not even a corner store within four blocks. turning to the general plan and the renewable energy plan, these plants are implicated by my design. if my design was improper under the general plan, nothing could be developed in this city. as for the quotes that were taken out of context, i will say this. a solar permit was pulled several months after i said as pointed have an edition. month

this permit. -- and tonight -- deny this permit. president peterson: as you know, i am struggling with some of the credibility here. even some of the contractors' timelines, demolition occurring in early may, i do not know if credibility is grounds for denying a permit request, but the other thing is i do not know how we have met -- we really do not have a business plan. responding to the needs of the community, and it could be expanded to accessory items and on pharmaceutical items -- and non pharmaceutical items. i do not see how this qualifies for rc-4 without further information. i am not saying an error, but i do not know if it was done properly to issue the permit at the moment. commissioner fung: i have come to a conclusion. i believe that the planning department, as they look at a number of different areas, they always apply a number of different overlays that address a lot of issues in those areas, and that is something they do consistently, especially areas that deserve greater oversight, and, therefore, i am going to supp

we have to point out at the start, mcdonald's denies the story and denies it has decided to do anythingbut there is, steve, clearly a new requirement in the new healthcare reform law world we're going to be living in that companies are worried about. i would seem to me that the possibility that a company like mcdonald's would have to drop 30,000 workers is damaging. >> mcdonald's was backtracking because it probably didn't expect the memo to go public. the memo, itself, did suggest that mcdonald's might. take language verbatim of the it would be economically prohibitive for our carriers to continue offering the mini med plans and talk in places that it would deny coverage to 29,500 existing mcdonald's employees. i think the reporting was correct. now whether that means that mcdonald's overstated it to make its case to regulators to try to say you don't want to face a story where 30,000 people are without health insurance, but that is clearly was what was said. this is a problem for the administration because it comes as part of a longer stream of reporting on these things. if you read t

to take this review and deny the request. the planning department requested a denial because they found that it did not meet the majority of the opinions and there was not a majority of the italians -- of the opinions. this is a rental unit. this was stated on the project's sponsors application. this is intended for owner occupancy. this met the third findings of prevailing occupancy. there are quite a few single family dwellings. this did not meet the fourth finding which is that it comes closer to conformity with the prescribed zoning paren. the final finding is that this was a dwelling unit that was added fairly recently in the 1980's. the project sponsor has raised issues but really there are functional deficiencies which would preclude the enjoyment of both of these units. it is with those findings that the department recommended the denial of the building permit application and that the planning department denies application. a letter was submitted after the planning department had prepared the initial and before the he

i categorically denied all of the allegations. and denied that i ever attempted to date anita hill when first interviewed by the fbi. i strongly reaffirm that denial. >> larry: was he lying? >> he was parsing his words very carefully. >> larry: he said he didn't try to date her. he didn't try to do anything with her, he was denying what she said. >> i think he said at that time or something like that. every time he makes a statement, he qualifies it, that to me, that doesn't mean he did not have a sexual relationship with her at some point in time other than these events that she's stating. and it -- he's talking about what she said. it's very carefully words. >> larry: sort of like what is, is? >> yes, sort of like that. >> larry: what do you make of his wife calling anita hill last week? >> when i first heard it, i was half asleep. and it was brought to my attention by michael fletcher, a reporter that i know on "the washington post" who i had never allowed to interview me, and never given a statement to. and he tricked me into

that was denied. what is being proposed here is providing a rear yard. it is not the full co-required rear yard. that is why they need the variance application. it could be seen as an improvement from the previous project. in regards to the project itself, this is an rh-3 zoning district. it is relatively uncommon to have such a large front set back requirement. they have a large front setback requirement. that is one impact on the property. although they say they have worked with the neighbors to try to mitigate their concerns, they have addressed that by building back further. we feel it is appropriate that the findings for the variance have been met. we would be available for any other questions. commissioner fung: mr. sanchez, when the planning commission reviewed the design for the dr hearing, there was a set of drawings, i presume, provided to them. >> no. the variance hearing in june -- commissioner fung: the first one. what has been appealed is the first variance, not the most recent one. >> there is only one variance that has been issued. it has

it is not denying a toy. a child could still even buy a toy, so to say that is denying a toy does not seem to be exactly what this legislation is saying, so how do you are right at that? >> i arrive at it based on how much dollars for the last 25 years has served have been deals with a toy, so you proposed legislation would indicate certain criteria in order to get the toy with the happy meal, which currently does not exist, a parent today has the choice to come in and buy an entree and a fruit, as you have suggested, and milk, which we have heard from some of the parents, and the toy is included. the legislation will make it extremely difficult to execute at our restaurants for our customers, so that is how i see it as different for what we're doing today and what we have done for the last 25 years successfully. supervisor maxwell: ok. all right. i just find that just because it is different does not necessarily make it difficult. mcdonald's is an amazing company. it has been around for many years, and it ha
