a height limit is 40 feet. the height limit the project who -- who we saw was for 40 feet. a 40-ft height limit would allow for this building, because the building is allowed to follow the slope of the lot, so they were able to have an additional floor for a five-story building which is also within the height limit. >> what they do it is they cut the floor off from the top. >> for the last 20% of the lot, the last two floors are stepping down to provide that rearguard area -- rear yard area. >> i hear a lot about parking, and there have seen points made there should be more parking because it as a commercial operation and they are not compliant with one residential parking place. is there any basis to that? >> there is one parking space required for the residential units. it shows on the plans they are providing the one parking place, so the parking requirements for residential units is satisfied. in terms of the commercial space, the occupied florence is below the threshold, no parking is required. the floor area of the project is above 5000 square feet. however, parking i

the deck is not 8 feet a little over 4 feet. there is excavation if you come out of the ground level and go up, so it is 3 low profile in to the rear yard. as far as the variances required, i think staff can address the more, but the bottom line is the rear yard and the non compliance. i believe that is it. >> public hearing is closed. commissioners? commissioner moore: i need to put on record set december 8 when this project was before us i asked for a continuance because i found the drawings insufficient. i have about in front of me. they are identical. not one particular comment. not one particular item has been revised. the original drawings were issued on june 27 -- on july 27, 2010. gooare would like to suggest --i would like to suggest the letter speaks to these drawings. i did indicate to staff that if this project comes back again, please make sure the drawings are accurate and understandable. as much as i find the story credible, i believe for this commission to affect them objectively, you out to have a drawing in fro

the rear roof is being raised 10 feet, maybe 12 feet. it used to be a down slope duriing shed. the department is taking the measurements here. they are measuring it from the front curve. that ignores the special use district. the special use the district says you measure of how the rear of the building from grade. i do not know what the new proposed height is going to be, but it looks close to 30 feet to me, and it is on a steep hill to the towering over the buildings, so as a design consideration, you have to apologize to match the neighbors, and you have to reduce the size of this new structure. it is in congruent and prohibited by the code to allow the not only to build by non- confirming, violating structure, but to build it at such a tremendous height and that debt. there are no extraordinary pictures on the side of the equation that would allow for that type of structure. i do not know what my time is, so i am going to keep on going. i am sure i did not go over by five minutes. we have these old photographs of what it used to look like before it was abolished -- demolish.

the new lot to the west will contain 3300 square feet, 700 square feet less than required by the planning commode. therefore, a variance is required. >> we will give each member of the public three minutes to speak, followed by a three- minute rebuttal by the project sponsor. i would like to inform the members of the public, thank you for your patience, but i was present for the hearing on environmental reviews, so i have heard the testimony given. i want to make you aware that i did fully pay attention to the testimony that has already been given, so please consider that when making earmarks. >> you look so far away. it is interesting. thank you again. it is really important to get acclimated with the environment, specifically the zoning environment. there was a lot of talk about the neighborhood character, but in terms of what we are looking at today, we really have an interesting transition zone to the north of belgave ave. you run into dense zoning, and there is no zoning lighke belgrave until you get far north of fioringeary. there's no question this is a special block. it is bracket

3600 square feet. the surrounding neighborhood consists of two-four story buildings as well as larger apartment buildings. the subject lot, properties to the west on baker street, while corner properties are zoned rn3. they are 3, 2, and four-unit buildings respectively. the project meets criteria #1 that states removal of the unit would only eliminate owner occupied housing. according to the project sponsor, the subject property was purchased in 2007. a of three of the units have been owner occupied. the property owners reside on the ground floor yet while they occupied the upper unit. the project meets criteria #2 that states removal of the and it had the merger with another is intended for owner occupancy. the property will continue to be occupied by the property owner and family members. there is no intention for either unit to be rented for the public. the project meets criteria #three, removal of the unit will bring the building closer to conformance with the density and immediate area and zoning

the tower is shrunken down to 1,070 feet from 1,200 feet. it makes it look short and squatty. instead of tall and majestic. gone are the wind turbines, which would make it glut night and -- glow at night and give it the look of a giant white house. gone are the moving -- a giant white house. gone is the giant canopy of the plaza. gone are the retail outlets on the ground floor. gone, too, is the public restaurant and lookout level on the upper floors of the tower. so the public could enjoy the breathtaking views. what has happened to the city who once knew how to impress the world? they should revert back to their original plans for the terminal and tower, which was so impressive to begin with. concerning the shadows studies for the tower, the 1200's foot height is the right height for this tower. not only will it look iconic and spectacular on the skyline, it would also accentuate the rest of the high rises on the skyline, which would look up to the tower as its main central high point. i would have been recommended to the san francisco planning department to allow the extra

swings. 40 square feet. each swing is one square foot. this utility pole, records show workers painted 58 square feet. really? it's 12. and how about the scribble on this trash can? they charged 40 square feet to wash it off. >> it's obviously ridiculous. graffiti protection company has been in business with the city since last june. according to the five-year contract, they're budgeted to clean up about 1.5 million square feet a year. but nine months in, they've already surpassed that. didn't it upset you that they're overcharging the city and taxpayer dollars are being wasted? >> i disagree with you. >> reporter: the city's director of parks recreation and neighborhood services oversees the program. and that's after we showed her this. swings. 40 square feet. two swings to be rinsed off. >> again, i would have to check the square footage on this particular abatement and double check. >> this one is a sticker on a stop sign. they say that's five square feet. >> right. >> reporter: we crunched the numbers. r

it is only 2 we will feet between the -- two feet between the rail and the door, and you need three feet. commissioner fung: you need only one leaf of the door. shift it. >> but if we ship it, we are in the 2 foot 10 region. i am getting the fire regulation -- the people who would be using the gate would be able to go through the gate downstairs. this is the widest point of access. i no longer meets my fire egress. keep in mind the top 18 inches -- it is only the lower 30 inches. we are already three feedback. -- three feet back from the property line. president garcia: what time of day was that picture taken? >> probably around 2:00. president garcia: what month? >> this was pretty recent. it was after we had started meeting with them. that is december light, or january light. president garcia: this is east? commissioner fung: that is west. president garcia: thanks. >> thank you. is there anything further from the department? commissioners, unless you have other questions, the matter is submitted. commissioner fung: the easy one is to relocate the barbecue. president garcia: all right.

that is 150 square feet. having two people living near might be a little tight, but there are ways to make these rooms look bigger. for instance, the ceiling can be raised higher than 8 feet. i notice that our window in that matter will is larger than what it needs to be. i think that these are things that developers have to take into account. although these are minimum requirements, we can do more than just this and i hope they realize that. one thing, specifically, for these official dwelling units, there is my concern about the square footage allocated to the kitchen area. as you can see in the code, it says the initial be provided with a kitchen sink and refrigeration facilities, each with a clear working space not less than 30 inches in front of them. i would like to clarify that that space is going to cut into. if it is, it will make the usable space even less. where will people start putting their furniture and their belongings? so, i would like to see if that can be addressed and maybe we can exclude

of other feet of over 2,000 square feet would trigger a conditional use permit. >> which spaces are contiguous here. if publico is across the way, then from pete's coffee, they could never consolidate whether it's right next to peer one, they could. >> true. >> i don't have a -- >> do the math here as to what is next to each other, but i understand what you're trying to get at. it's probably it's either a 5,000 square foot limit or a 15,000 square foot limit. if you said trader joe's. >> i think did he say between trader joe's and pier one? >> i think so. >> those are the kinds of -- put a circle around pete's coffee. >> just not being intimate with the space, i don't want to propose something that was later ludicrous because i didn't understand the layout of the place. but what i do want to get at is i do believe we should approve the legal use of the space as it is today. >> absolutely. >> even if we did something ludicrous, all we have done, the ludicrous part is they're subject to a c.u. haven't dispelled them to be able to do it. so i don't think it would be too much to be conc

open space, 45 square feet -- 4500 square feet of playground that families and neighborhoods and everyone in san francisco can use. that is very important. it replaces an outdoor club with a new state of the art recreation and aquatics center and will fund a 33 affordable housing units that should be at the site. the project, by combining the sights, the majority is placed on the south end. what that does is freeze up and does not block the view of the existing residents to the waterfront. it allows of greater and more importantly efficient -- official use of the parking lot, and in turn helps support -- in turn it makes the port become more so sustainable entity with the balance in the budget. of allows the site to be utilized and enjoyed by the higher concentration of public and private users, and in the time of sustainability and depletion of resources, i find of the density on this site is appropriate. i urge you guys to vote in favor of this project. thank you very much. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am a native san franciscan. i urge you to support this project for a number of

. -- a minimum of 20 feet high.this is an older building and the ground floor has high ceilings. inviting the pedestrian into the stores. supervisor mar: what street is that on? >> this is geary. however, some new buildings have moved away from adding visual interest to the street. especially for base can hide districts like 40x and 50x. they tend to maximize the number of floors. that results in four flore buildings and eight or 9 foot ceilings. for the ground floor that is low and that would be uninviting -- that would be [unintelligible] for pedestrians. this legislation would accomplish two goals. first it will activate the ground floor with uses that will bring life to the shopping clusters. it will provide an incentive for color and gracious ground-floor space is without changing the number of floors allowed. this would have buildings match the ground floor of historic context. faugit would not increase the nr of floors. you can see on the left, this is the way [unintelligible] this is the way it is now. for c

but 50 feet is really not that far. 50 feet is not that far for sound to travel. so the tests were performed with the engines running, with the diesel engine running. and i think the initial concern was that at those levels, whether or not the people onboard would be able to hear what was being said if you couldn't hear it 50 feet away. but after performing the tests, we were able to work it out so that there's an adequate volume so that the people onboard the bus can hear, but at that volume you can't hear it 50 feet away. it's not audible. one of the beauties of the standard is that it doesn't require an instrument reading, like many of the other noise ordinance requirements are here in the city. this is just an audible standard. so if you can hear it 50 feet away, it's too loud. >> and i think one other thing i'd just like to reiterate in my conversation with the tour bus operators. from my perspective, if we are able to move forward with this legislation and we don't see the type of impact that we're all hoping it's going to have on noise levels in our neighbo

we are including 30,000 square feet of new sunlit public spaces. as you saw this morning, the effect on sue bierman park. by computer, you can identify two rivers. previously less than 1/1 thousand of 1% of any effect. believe me, this is imperceptible from the point of view of us as human beings using the site. design excellence. the project requires the highest level of design. to this end, we are designing a building which is quiet and elegant, designed to be a strong urban edge, defining the civic space that it fronts. the intention is to withstand the changes in fashion and trends over time and make this a project that wears well in terms of aesthetics but also in terms of materials used. we are using limestone, naturally patinad materials. hardwood with a buy the building of high quality end age naturally over time. there's not much time this morning, so quickly, here is an overall view of the project from washington to broadway. you can see the housing piece on the far left-hand side of the image there, designed with a series of smaller almo

wanted 258 square feet. if peer one said, well, i'll take that, maybe that's ok under a conditional use. so why don't i restate my proposal. >> vice president o'brien: you're doing a great job. >> third time is a charm. >> the rookie, commissioner dwight. do you want to restate it commissioner dwight: i will move that we approve this legislation with the 75,000 square foot cap and the provision that any situation that would cause the consolidation of any of these existing spaces would require conditional use. vice president o'brien: second. >> and just to

the understanding that with the allowance for the 10% addition, it could reach 400 feet. in terms of land use, right now, about half the area is areac30 fd, which is in our plan area. the plan proposes to reclassify the area as c30 se so we can reclassify all the plans proposed within the district. a portly, the plan proposed is to eliminate the current maximum s.a -- f.a.r. limit to achieve heights that are proposed, buildings will need to see -- exceed and 18 to one, said the plan proposes to do away with that limit as a maximum and have, sort of, density and will be controlled by height and -- height limits and bulk limits and other urban form controls that are in the planning code. we did extensive analysis when starting this plan, looking at projections and forecasts coming from other sources about how much the city is forecasted to grow and should grow on policy considerations as well as market forces and came to the conclusion that we do need more capacity in the downtown to accommodate more job growth if we are to meet the objectives of the smart growth policies t

amounting to approximately 25,000 square feet of new open public space. jackson commons would be developed between the residential buildings and the help and aquatics center along the jackson st. alignment. -- the health and aquatics center along the jackson st. alignment. landscape and meandering pedestrian path will lead to a more hard skipped area with cafe seating at the embarcadero. pacific park totaling 11,500 square feet would be developed at the northern end of the project site and contain approximately 4500 square feet, children's and -- square garden and a cafe building would be constructed adjacent to the park, which would include a rooftop deck. the existing guard and what would also be widened, adding an additional 2890 square feet of public open space and connecting the park to bomb -- and jackson commons. the shadow is very small. approximately 0.0067% of the theoretical ana billable sunlight. this would occur for 15 minutes in the morning and evening for june and july. the amount of shattuck would not be significant, and the new shadow cas

it is like -- i would say four feet deep, five feet at best. and 4, 4 1/2 feet deep. maybe -- anywhere from 4 feet to 6 feet wide at different points. and this river from -- came from the mountain, snaked down. zigzagged. wasn't like a straight creek. zigzagged with curves and things. guyses throwing hand grenades at the enemy and our guys were in there. throwing hand grenades back and forth to each other. one side to the other, one end to the other. they were down in it. i felt good about that because i thought man, this is nice. i have cover here and some friends, you know, new game. i feel good. this was going to be no better than what i saw. >> right. >> so -- >> nadal -- he slyke we are going. >> we are down here. and -- i don't know. five minutes or one minute. next thing i know he is to my right and i'm -- one works guys to my left. and -- rest of the guys down the creekbed. i don't know how many there were right then. 10, 20 guys, 30 guys. so -- he says he's yelling, all right. get red write. get ready, guys. let's go. six. machine gun. i'm still by myself, by

the building now standing at just under 1250 feet, 1250 feet is the height of the empire state building. later today, it is going to surpass that. it is expected to surpass it by approximately 21 feet. we should know more later and in a moment, i'll have a little scorecard for you. let's take a look now at some time lapse photography that shows you the construction of the building. you can see it constructed here in what appears to be just a matter of seconds but in actuality, what took place was years of blood, sweat and tears. let's not lose sight of the fact that nearly 3,000 people lost their lives at this site, the construction of this building has really transformed lower

it would be a split level sidewalk within that 8 feet 8 inches, 5 feet wide or would ever is required for ada with that in access, with a wind design. the remaining portion, 4 feet minimum, would remain as the existing sidewalk for those that wanted to walk through. we would consider that. >> i -- commissioner hillis: i guess my concern is the 3 ft. 8 in the middle of the sidewalk. clement street is a vibrant commercial corridor. >> that was taken into account during my first visit to the site. commissioner hillis: we saw some pictures were this was done before, it down on fisherman's wharf. there are huge variances. this does not have a lot. it is a pretty modest sloped sidewalk. for this to be a solution, my concern would be a solution throughout the city. we have dates in the middle of the sidewalk, where pedestrians are walking. it is wide, but it is not that wide to have that gate there. i would like to explore other options, including the property owner taking some -- like the appellate said, doing it inside. the ' 08 drawings show that vestibule. i think this is kind of -- >> y

then he wanted it to have glass 5 feet in, which is in the way of the door. in the floor plan, you will notice we have been asked by -- >> face it the way you would look at it. >> we had a meeting with the department of building inspection before applying to find a way to be able to keep the existing spiral staircase as our means of egress. the concern they had was will be you -- will be lower unit have access to the roof? we need it to only have access to the upper unit. so we have put a metal gate around the top of the stairs. if i move the railing in, we would not be able to get to and from the deck. president garcia: would you go back to photograph two? show me where someone would be standing to take pictures in photograph three. >> this is better to show you on the floor plan. it is taken from the front of a -- in front of the building with a wide angle lens. photograph three is taken from the back of the building. i am standing right at the edge to get a picture of the back, as far as i could without falling. commissioner fung: and the height of the dec

jesse is stuck 16 feet down.the plan is to dig down 20 feet with heavy ground-breaking equipment and then cut across by hand. rescuers know they need to move cautiously. >> if there would have been any further collapse, of course, in the well above his head, yes, there's a risk. and that was one of our main concerns is vibration of the ground around the opening. they shut off all traffic, stopped all traffic within 500 feet. >> my role as a rescue was to help with the shoring and the trench. and my job was also to be one of the diggers down at the bottom that actually dug from the trench over to the well where little jesse was. >> as the operation approaches its fifth hour, 17-month-old baby jesse seems to be hanging in there, but the question everyone is asking, how much longer can he last? >> my only thought was he's getting tired. i was worried about him maybe giving up, and i was talking to him, you know, comforting him as well as myself. >> firefighter tim daneen is working with other rescuers in 15-minute i

day it moves 30 feet out. all of that land down below was sitting out here. it was a great deal logic feature of the landslide further to the south. there were houses on top and there was a very steep slope. you can see some debris slides where the sand is slowing. then you drop into a gully or a drainage swell. the top of the landslides' is just a drop in the middle where another clock has pulled away from the edge. the higher hill on the outside edge of the rich and the depression is the drop. surface erosion is an acute issue. >> you can see the evidence of the houses directly adjacent. we have similar conditions to that. if you go around the corner around the seacliff, where in fact there has been significant movement and in fact many of the homeowners along that portion of the seacliff have had to come back in and do extensive foundation repair and massive walls to protect the home while the slope [inaudible] >> here we have the shallow slides, a debris slides. during earthquakes, they are both activated

they range in size from 500 square feet to 1000 square feet. each unit will have a small bathroom and a mezzanine floor with 16-foot ceiling heights. the residential side has, on each floor, there is a 3-bedroom unit, two-bedroom unit, and two 1-bedroom units, except for the upper for changes a little bit. in terms of the exterior design for the building, we wanted to provide emphasis at the corner. it is not a traditional 90 degree corner that we're used to having in san francisco. because of the unusual angle, we wanted to put more emphasis on the corner. we raised the concrete columns of to the second floor at the corner. we provided some nice a bay windows, decks, and we tried to articulate the facade as much as we could. to the left at the residential building is the elevator core, which is sort of a centrally located right off of the eighth street plaza to the left is the pdr building. this is the view looking straight at the building from 16th street. with the new zoning, we were able to add 8 feet in height to the building, which all we

5 feet above grade. -- of upgrade. the requirement of set in the permitted coverage, has a variance is going to be considered by the zoning administrator. the department believes that the request does not demonstrate to the project contains or creates an exceptional were extraordinary circumstances. the project maintains the conditions are legal. the last legal structure for the height increase of 3 feet, they are compatible with the buildings and respect the photography of the site and the stepping of the roof line established by the bloc base. the existing south side set back is maintained. the rear building wall is approximately 2.5 feet deeper than the building. the structure is also noncompliant as the existing

that's about 15 feet. they say it's 15 feet.hey've measured it and reagan was 15 feet away when the shots were fired. if you go to any basketball court in the country and you get on the free-throw line and you look at it, you know, it's just the distance of a free throw, that's how close he was. that's 15 feet. the secret service did -- there are a lot of great reports they did on this. they interviewed all the agents there and witnesses. i foia'd those and i got those, so i was able to know what everyone said they did, and that usually kind of matched up with what the video and the pictures showed. that was helpful. it was also helpful to get into their heads of what was happening. i interviewed them all, too, and i also got some fbi reports, for example, there's a great fbi report no one has seen reagan's fbi interview shortly after the shooting, he gave an interview to the fbi agent. that was sealed. i got it unsealed through my foia process. and reagan said he was coming out here and he saw the reporters, but he wasn't going

144 trillion cubic feet. so, again, this illustrates the uncertainty that's associated with some of these assessments -- methodologies, and these are estimates, after all. what do we do with these assessments after we're done? this -- these maps that i show here, the lower right one, is a compilation of the assessments that we have done of a number of unconventional resources. gas resources in the united states. and you can see that there's -- maybe you can't read the number, but there's quite a bit of gas, over 600 trillion cubic feet. and in the upper left is our map of the conventional resources. and with the exception of the gulf coast, and alaska, there is not much left to be discovered. that means that most of these places are mature exploration provinces and is not much left to be found. and that is why that graph that i showed you on the first slide had declining production from those conventional resources and why the unconventional resources are so attractive as an exploration target. well, this isn

>> there's a city-wide retail of 120,000 square feet. and another formula retail wanted to come in and also take over trader joes. if it was under 125,000 square feet you're saying it could apply for conditional use? >> yes. thank you. tharbed scenario it would be more liberal. >> yes. >> i'm sorry. there's a maximum 120,000 square feet limit on a single retail use. last 50,000 square feet triggle -- trigger for conditional use. it's not making it more liberal. >> can you tell me off the top of your head, do you know what the current zoning for costco is? >> no, i'm sorry, i don't. >> as far as the conal use process, i think as a reminder, we are under the legislation, we're all of a sudden adding another, at least two, three, maybe five conditional use processes to this commission. to consider c.u.'s to be a cumbersome process, maybe we should look at the chu legislation and find out where uses are allowed and where they're not and not make everything conditional use. that's in relation -- never mind. that's a separate matter. >> separa

3 feet deep. i got up on my haunches and lightly dusted off the granaries roof which was undamaged. for 3,000 years not a breeze had entered this chamber, not an inkling of light. what tightly woven baskets were here, what woven textiles, what stockpile of cobalt blue and honey-colored seed corn left many years before the boom of spanish rifles. with my fingers i traced through the dust of fallen rock debris on the granary roof. when i'm out there looking for stories and routes and trails, i find things like this. i have so far come upon 3 baskets in the desert and 3 different whole ceramic vessels that people had put underneath ledges and these are things that i don't dig for, i just look in cracks and crannies to see what's left behind. you find pieces of sandals or sometimes whole sandals. you find little bits of people, signs that in this desert, there were people everywhere and they aren't always small like that. they aren't always a ceramic vessel under a ledge. sometimes they are huge. some

. 10,000 feet evacuation for engine two.ent explosion. >> we got about 200 feet of it out, and unbelievably, it got louder. it got so loud. >> before firefighters were able to get to a safe distance, the propane truck erupts into the biggest explosion many have ever seen. >> whoa! holy smokes. i hope everybody's okay. >> i thought to myself, i'm going to die today. the second thing right after that was, did i kiss my boys this morning? >> oh, my god! >> it made me feel like my whole chest just got socked in the chest, like i got socked in the chest really hard, like just powerful, so powerful. >> get down! get down! >> it was incredibly bright and forceful. it was almost like somebody shoving you off your feet. >> oh, my god! >> oh, my god! >> people see, hear and feel the blast for miles. >> whoa! >> it was so huge. it was unbelievable. >> you can feel the heat wave and the shock wave. >> holy smokes, i hope everybody's okay! >> the axle from the propane truck launches hundreds of feet into the air and lands on a busy stree

this project is 40 feet high. regarding parking, they've played with the way they measure the storage in their commercial space to bring it under the requirement and therefore not require any parking. in other words, they're going to exacerbate a bad parking situation that this business causes on hyde street and makes it virtually impossible for the neighbors who live on hyde street to find a place to park. to my eye, this is not a style that fits in with the character of this neighborhood. this proposal might have been ok if it was a starting point by the developer in order to interact with the neighbors and try to address their concerns, but that is not what happened here. they met with a large group of neighbors, who you will hear from tonight, and those neighbors expressed major concerns about the height and bulk of the project. not preserving views, not not having a project at all, but just the height and bulk of the project. in response to that, the developer made no changes. zero. that was a year ago. they

the school would have a loading zone at 85 feet. it should be 50 feet in length. it is claimed that only fifth graders will be dropped off in the mornings. although they say that they will have a crossing guard and staff to monitor this, we feel that the traffic congestion will still be increased and caused significant impact. we also have concern about car exhaust fumes 6028 graders are supposed to walk or bike -- the line we also have concern about car exhaust. 6 to 8 graders are supposed to walk or bike. we do not feel that cdc as realistically strutted this. they did not look at afternoon impact. the intersection is already dangerous at almost any hour. there is no stop sign at dolores street. for years, the mta has denied the request for stop signs or traffic signals at this busy intersection. the presence of a school adds new urgency to this request. any increase in traffic or to- drink ingestion for the congestion at this intersection should be carefully scrutinized by city agencies. this is a dense and pocket the neighborhood and we oppose the loss of any

currently, it is 50 feet. the legislation would increase that to 100 feet. it would also increase the allowable use size to 2500 square feet. the supervisor's office does agree with our recommendation which is to limit it to what it is that there would like to do more community outreach in the future and go forth with us. they -- i am sorry. >>i is that out of the legislation? >> it is in the legislation still. they may move forward with it only if they can sell the community more. and the second change would require conditional use authorization in order to convert a dwelling unit to an lccu. conditions are required to be reviewed under section 317. the department feels this requirement is duplicated and unnecessary. we are recommending that change not be added. the next topic on your executive summary is accessory uses. the first item would include the rc zoning district and the excess reuse control foresee, -- for c, and m. these are commercial district. the second item would remove specific numerical restrictions for accessory uses such as limits on hp a
