the project requests an exception for height. the request exception meets the criteria reference in to hundred 63.8 in that the height of the new roof will be 85 feet and the absolute height including the elevator penthouse will be 91 feet which is well within the maximum height for the district. it the additional height will be set back 14 feet from the front facade of the existing building, minimizing the ability and any potential to cast shadows on the adjacent public sidewalks. the setback will allow the existing building to maintain the continuity of the street wall and allow it to provide a transition between the lower and higher buildings that are adjacent. staff has received no public comment regarding this project. the project is consistent with article 11 and will provide a mixed uses that will activate the streetscape throughout the day and evening and provide a residential unit and meets the requirement for the exception to height. the recommendation is approval with conditions. this concludes my presentation. >> -- p

i think america is an exceptional land.ever, we accomplished over the years clear-cutting the eastern forests three times, almost determining the buffalo, and this exceptionalism i am hearing today is akin to calvinism where god has chosen us -- his people or whatever it is. may iu quote a native american statement? white man as much knowledge, most of the false. thank you very much. host: san jose, calif., democrats line. caller: thank you very much. thank you for taking my call. i believe in and american exceptionalism. i feel there are so many opportunities in this country. you face a pinnacle of so many things. in comparison to other areas -- you have the chance to get a higher education and create something for yourself. you see the struggles of the whole world in america and you have a pretty fair chance of fighting for great things in this country. the country might be a little divided but every day, i feel we have a chance to learn how we are great. i believe an american exceptionalism because in america, every day

you mean no exceptions. when mississippi was considering a ban on not just all abortions but even likely some forms of hormonal birth control with their so-called personhood amendment last year, he went on the fox news channel with mike huckabee and told mr. huckabee that he would have absolutely supported legislation like that in massachusetts. >> would you have supported the constitutional amendment that would have established the definition of life at conception? >> absolutely. >> so as the republican party's attitude toward rape victims and incest victims has changed dramatically just over the last few years, mitt romney has taken both sides of this issue. as his campaign is now screaming about one of his two positions on the subject being used in campaign ads and as the press investigates these protests, tries to figure out whether or not mr. romney is justified in complaining about this ad, i have a thing to say. you really do have to look up from the beltway and into the rest of the country on this on

there exceptions to that. those exceptions are contained in the constitution mostly in the bill of rights. you cannot read those as broadly as the current court desires to read them. there by depriving americans of legitimate choice that is the american people have never decided to take away from them. that's what happens. whenever you read punishments to mean torture. if you are sentenced to torture for a crime, yes, that is a cruel punishment. the mere fact that someone is tortured is unlawful under our statutes, but the constitution happens not to address it just as it does not address a lot of other horrible things. >> what did you argue most with the justice. he is one of the world's great arguers. >> he's an intellectual giant and we have no debates in this book. in the first book we had four debate where is we had a pro and con. in it book we had none. the biggest issue in the end, we almost had a debate, but he persuaded me not to. that was weather a murderer can inherit. can a son murder his parents a

but polk is the exception that proves the rule if there is such a thing as an exception because he's the only president to ever ran on a one term promise. he told the american people if i'm elected i will only serve one term and he kept that promise and no one else has done that. so all eight sought reelection, got it from all but two of those were succeeded by their own party, which as i say is the highest electoral discussion, acceptance being wilson and truman. so history of the electorate are in sync here. let's look at those judged by history to be presidential failures buchanan, my least favorite president. i think he was a man of very low character. pure strength to match and was not much better than buchanan. andrew johnson as i say, lost control of the government. he can't control the government for whatever reason. fillmore. i'm not sure i necessarily think selmer should be a total failure. and then of course departure from the white house, richard nixon which i'm not going to get into here, but maybe q&a about what do we do about it president who is so ignominiously humili

we give exceptions when there is a public benefit to the planning code. when we want to put in more affordable housing, when we want to trade maybe a little extra height for some more open space, when there are special circumstances. i wonder what the public benefit here is in violating the consensus of the planning code? and what the planning code really means anymore. i don't see a public benefit in luxury housing, 800, 900,000 a square foot. i don't see any open space created here. i see a 4,800 square foot hinthouse, presumably inhabited by a man who has made many friends in the neighborhood and i wonder what the tradeoff really is and what the public benefit of giving an exception really is. if we do give this exception without this public benefit, what that says about our commitment to respect for something we call the planning code. so i would like to respect fully request that you turn down the conditional use authorization. thank you. >> thank you. my name is ruth haynesworth. i live a half a block from the church. i have lived there for over 30

besides from the height and the definitions, under rcu, which would have to be an exceptional product either architecturally or other benefits, this project is contradicting all of those objectives. i think this building as corporate-looking. it actually resembles one of the van ness buildings quite closely. the building is too tall. i hesitate to do with, but i will. i have to say that if somebody wants to propose a penthouse, it should not appear in front of this commission and put a single-family suburban home on the sixth floor of the building, because that is what it looks like. this is not a pet house. when you look at elegant penthouse design and a new building, for example, in the king street area, ring, hill, those buildings become basically like the building topped becoming taller, a reduced footprint, which elegantly blends and completes the building, but it is not a visual impact on any of the surrounding buildings. in this particular case, this particular pet house is like a panicake trying to hold the edge of the building. what i find ironic, and i find ithis, it has 6 d

and except for the one a liar. ulysses s. grant. grant is considered a failure although he is rising in the estimation of history. it gets a little complicated. he was succeeded by his own party in 1876. only as a result of corrupt manipulation. the republicans are able to do that because they had occupied the south. grant's first term was a clear success, not a huge success. inevitably a success. the voters said no particular reason. a second term, however, was characterized by nasa's -- nasty financial scandals including very close friends of the president did not seem to taken as seriously as he should have. a significant economic downturn that he did not seek to attack because it was not his philosophy. his second term is much less successful and the republicans should have lost and probably would have lost had it not been for those manipulations. i don't quite see how you can judge grant to be a failure. it's interesting, very prodigious scholar of our time, presidential among other times, has written in the new york times op-e

so that is the peace, and the framing of those exceptions, there are five exceptions, and i could go through them, but we wanted to be clear that when that condition is met or when a project has an agreement that is negotiated directly with the city, like a development agreement, that the cap of fees is not pertinent. one of the exceptions, if i may, the zoning of 30 acres or more, and my understanding is that there is -- can you talk a little bit about how that works? some city officials around that, which the board of supervisors can override but only if its is two thirds of the board of supervisors, and anytime you require a supermajority to override something, i think the board has to pay attention and understand why it is you are doing that. >> certainly. we sort of had two buckets or exemptions when there were changes to the zoning. the other was when we were doing larger areas, and how we determine and calculate significant increases in residential development, it was overly technical and to a precise and too critical to codify in charter, so we chose instead to empower the co

because there is going to be a change in the law, and it is going to create an exception to that requirement, a study under the ordinance has to be done. in addition, in late 2010, you also passed a resolution reaffirming that kind of commitment that the effect on the production of housing on that avenue has to be taken into account. most importantly, it is also the kind of analysis that should be done as part of an environmental impact report because we have here the removal of property that could come in a new configuration, contain housing that is also likely to have an effect on the development of housing elsewhere on the avenue. ceqa requires that the social and economic effects of that are going to be -- have to be analyzed in terms of whether or not there is a significant impact on housing in that area. you have three pieces of legislation that require that an analysis be done. none was done in this particular case. the other major failure is to do something similar to a nexus study that examines the impact of the proposal -- the impact of new cpmc employees by something like wage and
