and the secondary facade. however, several painted signs as well as unpermitted windows replacements and light installations have taken place on the structures 3 visible facades. on these, the work is to legalize the less visible windows at the upper-storey, remove and replace the security lighting throughout for more compatible fixtures and the cover the painted signage with a stone that is based on historic evidence and conformance with the district's color pallet. and lastly, 540 powell that has undergone a lottations including the replacement of windows and installation of anings and non conforming projecting signs. the proposed project includes replacing windows on the primary facade to their historic configuration and material and removing the anings and restoring the arch of the ground story. the existing projecting sign shall be relocated to a code compliant location and the marque shall be repaired. in the elevation shown, the projecting signs relocations can be seen within the orange box. staff finds

we are not proposing any changes to the primary street facade and when we look at the maiden street facade and if i could have it on the overhead, here you see the existing versus proposed. the existing is currently a rather solid, noninviting and nontransparent facade. it has been approved already for a more transparent pedestrian parenedly lobby that also provides -- lob lu that provides access to stair and elevator. however, you could easily convert this into a retail use if you ever were in a situation where the retail was viable again. what you don't see in the images, however s compton place with this block is essentially a narrow alley that is improved with back of house entries and no one is going to wonder off compton place in searchover stand alone upper floor retail. it doesn't have a lot of pedestrian foot traffic or the appeal, and on the overhead again, here are images that show the alley

so they are claiming only the signage and facade were the two issues. but i believe that there's not enough of an inlay of merchandise, the decorum is very much a dermalogica in theme of almost like a franchise. but as far as getting into the particulars of their business plan and how they interact with dermalogica or the way they work with them is not how we look or will determine whether or not something is a formula retail use. >> thank you. >> commissioner moore. >> i would like to express my frustration why we are interested in supporting small businesses, not a doubt about it, including small formula retail of this kind. i have a very hard time going up against the department's recommendation of what they are tasked to enforce and say, hey, this doesn't matter. i have a hard time with that, as much as i would like to just say, okay, it doesn't matter. ultimately, we are putting them on the spot, because anybody could come along and say why aren't you enforcing it here? it's creating a double standard. and what we consider being approveable or supp

the facade materials have been changed to stucco, painted wood and the stone base. building has been decreased by six inches and the fourth floor has been reduced to be setback 15 feet from the front facade and extend no further than the massing to the neighbor to the west at 467 29th in the year. the roof deck has been eliminated and the light wells increases to match the neighboring light. the department has received a letter questioning the integrity of the historic resource determination. based on the public feedback regarding analysis to the subject property alterations, staff has reviewed and added further analysis to the categorical exemption and historic resource evaluation response which follows -- based on addition alanal sis of the building's development and alteration history it does not appear the alterations completed circa 1930s and are significant in their own right. these alterations do not appear to be completed by a master architect and do not possess high artistic value and the building would be considered an individually eligibility historic res

the proposed maintenance plan includes any necessary repairs to the front facade windows, interior woodelements and roof on a recognize regular basis ans estimated 7 $500 annually. the property owner is away they will not receive a savings but would like to move forward. it's 2731 to 2735, a three-story wood-frame three unit residential building? article 10, individual landmark number 276 and the subject property was designed in a bozart style by architect james frafrancis dunn. it's contracted at over $3 million and a structure report was submitted to demonstrate the granting assumption would assist in the preservation of the property that might otherwise be in danger demolition. it underwent a full rehabilitation by a previous owner including full repainting of all elevations, facade restoration, structural strengthening and reroofing. the proposed rehabilitation plan includes dry-rot repair of wood elements at the base of the building, restoration of windows and to repaint the exterior, replace roof flashing and full reroof the building. estimated to cost $305,000. $305,000 over ten

the front of the facade.that was reviewed with the preservation staff. it is correct that that is the permit that resized the garage door. the plan to increase it from 7 to 8 wasn't until months later. there were rear windowed replaced without permit. they will need to be replaced. that has been brought to the property owner's attention. usually windows at the rear don't trigger preservation review but it's an allyway so it's viewable from the public and it has the protections. there's mechanical equipment put on the facade on the side of the facade that we would ask for that to be relocated to a less conspicuous location. what's also been mentioned is the variance matter. we did confirm today with the project sponsor's team that the variances required -- i can pull up here. the subject building is a non-complying structure located partially within the required year yard. there is a small notch displayed that was filled in. it is relatively minor but under the planning code it's within the required rear yard.

so use transparency, translucency and layering at the ground-floor faÇade.this touches upon a lot of the japanese design elements in japan town which are a little bit different, but there is overlap. you can see some of the elements and in the expression of structure. there is the layering and the screening developments what is not necessarily open to open glass but there is more of a transition between the public and the private realm. so we added a storefront from japan town and while this doesn't demonstrate all of the elements as some of the. oche -- and the some of the design concepts, it shows some of the features that are common throughout and you can see there's more of this. instead of this more rhythmic design of a typical storefront with asters and more expansive glass, here we have a storefront and in this case, it is a restaurant with sliding windows that provide more of the transitional element between the public and private whelm -- realm. there is more wall service but it is a very intentional and it frames the storefront windows. additionall

it is broader than faÇade.it can speak to different buildings that are either visual and something people notice in the neighborhood, part of the fabric. the faÇades could be signs or murals to help us understand how our neighborhood is right now and works. a lot of these projects have come up, how retension works now is complex. we have parts of buildings maintained in new projects, some find them successful and some not successful. these are around design and architecture, very detailed and take professional expertise. there hasn't been a lot of agreement. many cases how successful they have been. this is a way to help us understand and have a conversation and focus on the areas of expertise and get the best outcomes that we possibly can. this conversation has come forward primarily through the historic preservation commission. discussion around the faux saws and -- this is going back to 2015. the discussion of the retention related to the historic properties and how it had been coming out in the city and the

in this case, no changes are proposed to the geary facade. we want to keep that as 100 percent retail, and we need all 23 feet of frontage for the first and second floor uses. if you show on the on overhead, i can quickly show that's the proposed facade. you can see in orange, there's approximately five foot wide office entrance that would be added and which could easily be converted into retail facade or retail entrance if the third and fourth ever converted back to retail. from our perspective, having the upper floors occupied instead of being vacant will increase foot traffic, increase security, and create new patrons to nearby retail uses so the impact on retail overall is positive. the building is not suitable for retail for several reasons and we can go into detail for those if you would like us to come back. thank you. >> thank you. >> i have a couple speaker cards. alexis bronson. anybody else can line up. but whoever is ready, come on up. >> this is the second hearing, so you are limited to one minute. >> good day. my name is alexis.

the sound study recommended sound rated windows at various building facades in order to achieve noise level criteria. entertainment commission staff reviewed the project documents, and we are recommending the following. approval with standard conditions for chapter 116, residential projects, and the following additional conditions. 1, the project is to incorporate all recommended facade s.t.c. ratings as in the environmental noise study as shown in your file. if the design of the project changes, the sound study shall be amended accordingly, and the project is required to resubmit design documents to the entertainment commission for review before coordinating updated recommendations. and here to present on behalf of the project sponsor and answer any questions that you may have is sandra chow, senior project architect of stanton architecture. >> hi. good evening, president bleiman and members of the entertainment commission. my name is sandra chow. i'm a senior project architect with stanton architecture. i'm here to present some slides about the project and answer any questions that

and it would be the faÇade alternative.hen we looked at the mitigation and all of that, we had some liver age with the developer -- leverage with the developer. this is really, really good. i seen it applying to some a-rated structures. i am happy to see it. the question i have is if it is a housing project and we ask for this, will it trip up any state laws? >> i mean if we are going through the normal review and it would come here. i think the main one would be if it was sd330, we are limited to public hearings. if you are talking to restrictions on development potential, that would also maybe depending on those, yes, what we would do is the retained elements are done. we can't lose housing. >> i think what we are talking about state density bonus projects or housing accountability acts. the state density bonus they would have to justify it costs more, there is an impact that affects the ability to do the housing. a lot of the pieces we are talking about retaining are relatively small. we have been where a number of proje

the project includes restoration historic store fronts on all five building facades. storefront system will be installed on the northeast corner of the subject property. existing non historic box anings will be removed and replaced with flat, metal anings at the northwest corner of the property which is currently used as a service parking lot. a new 945 square feet utility enclosure will be constructed. as part of this project, 49,364 square feet on the fifth floor of the building will be converted from p.d.r. to office use. the department has not received any letters of opposition or supporsuppose regarding this pr. given the nature of the proposed work, the reverse ability of the propose utility and the change of use to office the proposed work will be in conformance with the requirements outlined in article 10 of the planning code and the secretary of the interior standards. the analysis found in the case report, staff recommends approval with the following conditions. first, but prior to issuance of the building permit, the project sponsor shall submit product cut

for this pattern we drew inspiration from the building facades we see in the lawn and on our trips. here you see it on a kind of rough here fabric for outside. the you part of their collection is dedicated to a. current favorite artist fellow melanie's gabriela crespi good turned out to sign in the 1980 s. . i think you compare you see these things wherever you want. them. they come across as luxury of being vulgar should be a process it was god it did more to a studio is having the quest the lamps and furniture faithfully reproduced in manufactured the 2 interior designers see them as ideal for their fairy tale worlds . finally one of the world's leading lyric tennis pizza schreier passed away this week aged 84 shy was one of the artists in communist east germany who were allowed to travel and perform in the west he chose to remain living in east germany not because he supported the regime but rather not to be parted from his beloved hometown of dresden he was also a renowned conductor but it was the purity of his tenor voice that was his greatest assets. the. size of the. singing

i've done a lot of work on myself i continue to work on myself i know what's going on behind the facade to feel like and i share openly so that i don't i don't become a victim to it but but but i authentically do what i do it to empower people i think that's my life's work you know and i did it when i made no money and i do it know that i make money but but i like to think that personal growth and personal development you don't need to re mortgage your house to do it you can go on a budget and you can do it with very almost no money you know you can go online and you tube and the some great resources are there for people to empower themselves and make significant change in the lives let me ask you about them that brought a question about the industry and i want to call it with in style again because. hugh one said that the biggest difficulty in philosophy is to say no more than we know and i think that's a major challenge for many of the life coaches because they. i think and though we saw this both of themselves and that their audience is they often try to over project confidence to ov

add four wet sprinkler heads at the rear facade as a local equivalency from d.b.i. that was a quotation from staff report. how can adding four sprinkler heads to an existing fire prevention system be prohibitive? why should variances be granted? no other adjacent property has similar structures in the front or rear yards to necessitate variances, especially the ones that were self-inflicted. since the initial hearing in may of this year, the planning commission has been consistent in its requirements for the project. increase density. other projects, regardless of who is to be blamed, have been subjected to the same decisions by this planning commission. 284 roosevelt way, 655 alvarado street. it would be exceedingly unfair and set the wrong precedent to make an exception for this proje project. thank you. >> do we have any public comment in support of the d.r. request? one minute. >> i'm an adjacent neighbor. i live with my family in the building next door. i want to say we love the structure in its current state. >> are you in support of the d.r. or the project? >

unpermitted facade alt vasings occurred circa 2011.nts in addition to facade restoration to more closely match the property's 1938 deco character. upon submission of the application, the subject project was considered a historic resource as part of the historic district. however, only recently was the property reclassified to a c resource upon completion of the hub eir. the work had been completed while it was an a resource, and the facade is still required as the subject property is not an article 10 or 11 landmark property or landmark district, historic preservation review is not required. the applicant is a qualified equity applicant. mr. born and mr. draper have prepared a presentation on the intent of the facility which they will present after my presentation. in terms of sensitive uses, there are no schools or other cannabis or medical cannabis retailers within 600 feet of their parcel. as such, the project was found to meet the 600-foot rule found in planning code section 202.2. the project also includes a request for on-site co

the facade, if you have ever taken notice of it, that it is in need of repair. and there's, being a mosaic artist, there's a glass mosaic in the front. tiling that could use a little shoring up. it's basically just, given where, you know, here as equity stakeholders, it definitely takes sweat equity to channel or to essentially meet our goals. so a big part of just the overall upkeep and the look of the space from the facade itself to the inside and out, that will be kind of my -- one of my responsibilities, being a part of the group. and, yeah. much appreciative of the opportunity to take this on. and, yeah. i mean, essentially make it a success, essentially. so, yeah. partnering along with my other comrades and associates and as well as the architect working hand in hand with her, with rachael, i look forward to doing that. thank you for your time. >> thank you very much. >> we have our architect here as well if there's any questions that can be forwarded to her and if you have any questions we would love to answer them at this time. >> we may have questions f

hilary: there is another facade going on.sce rates are so low, there a continuation of companies borrowing to pay that dividend or special dividend and to buyback stocks. that should be good enough for the next quarter we go into. i think there was a surprise to the upside on the holiday shopping season. retail is already a train back. everyone has priced in disaster there. from a real valuation standpoint we are fine. you have companies like boeing that are $100 ahead. 440 was the high. now you are talking about 330. that is a big part of the doubt -- dow. about $17 ino earnings per share next year against $.79 this year. athink we are going to see lot of the laggards come back. this is near 36% on the nasdaq. there are a lot of companies there that are incredibly undervalued. some of those industrial companies that have been languishing because they haven't funds. attention of the funds, theyequity feel so much ready -- so much better. now that they have already gone for the big cats, they will head down and look for these

instead of vinny dropping his facade, he continues to put up his wall and his facade confusing not only, too. michael #2: nice to meet you, too, man. lemonis: look, vinny has continued to string me along with this whole patent-pending process. i've seen no documentation and have no confirmation. at this point, i want to get confirmation right now. ♪ dylan: dylan. lemonis: hey. hey, marcus. dylan: how's it going? it's good to meet you. lemonis: how are you? nice to meet you. so i decided to hire a utility-patent lawyer. all these documents and all the applications are public records, so i asked the attorney to actually pull all the records, so he could explain, how close are we to getting the patent? dylan: they've gone through a series of rejections and responses, rejections and responses, and they haven't been able to get the rejections resolved to the point where the examiner is convinced that what's claimed is new and nonobvious. lemonis: how many times has the "this is what makes it different" rejection happen? dylan: four rejections and then responses to those rejections, and they

the storefronts maintain the pattern of pedestrian-scaled facade elements. the storefronts are a backbone of calle 24. the elements that people pedestrian encounter most. they see close up. so that combination of the storefronts and signs really creates that layered diverse character. but while there is a lot of varied storefronts they all have a lot of common historic elements to them. you can see in the sketch here of a storefront on calle 24. i had some of these common elements such as the bulkhead the storefront with the recessed alcove with as well as the reused signage that originally was a neon sign that's been reused for the new business. but then on calle 24, something else happens, and it's sort of this combination of a common storefront with a vibrant outdoor market. the result is businesses that have open bays, they have back-up storefronts. they have french doors opening on to the sidewalk. so it sort of blurs the line between the bubble and private realm. so this is something that we are continuing to encourage in the guidelines. and finally th

but only the outer facade is a copy of noice feinstein. the interior features several floors of 3 d. art installations. the tour begins most of the chinese group have never even seen a picture of the castles interior. to 40 it looks noble and luxurious like the middle ages to 30. and then it's all over. so she said even if it was wonderful but i'd love to come back when the sun is shining and the renovation is finished to see everything without the scaffolding. and went way too fast without that i thought i'd been taken by. the way as i would have liked to have had more time inside so that i could immerse myself better in the old culture that you can see. after just an hour in and around the castle they're off again next stop that this. assault because these companies hold for good looking at it now it's hard to imagine that noise fame will ever fade. but you shouldn't forget people's perception of quality is changing regardless of where they come from we germans are also becoming more and more quality conscious so you have to be careful t

the code doesn't define active street-facing facade. we are certain however, that the 301 pine street steps qualify. they are actively and again the word is actively used by the public all day for sunning and eating and meeting friends. and i just want to point out that this can be a basis of revocation alone setting aside whether you agree with us later that well setting aside whether there are other grounds tonight. so let's talk about the 75-foot radius issue for a minute. neither d.p.w. nor permit holder disputes tonight that earth bar is a restaurant. and you can figure that out by reading their letters to you in which they call it a restaurant. also tonight there's no dispute that earth bar operating at the same time of day as the food truck would operate. and nobody else -- nobody disputes the proposed mobile food facility is within 75 feet of the front of 301 pine. what is being disputed tonight is whether or not the entrance to the restaurant the same entrance as the entrance to the health club, is in fact its, quote primary en
