fong: something different.ctually, the incidence of strokes are higher in asian americans for the following reasons: because their lifestyle is getting more and more unhealthy. robert: really? dr. fong: and there are several things that we need to consider. the first factor is hypertension. the second factor is high bmi, obesity. we can control hypertension and obesity, just 2 factors, we can control about 75% of all the strok t along with it is poor diet and physical inactivities. robert: yeah, well, sherril, if people aren't doing that and they start to see signs, what are some of the signs that they should look out for, but also maybe signs that somebody who is with somebody should look for? sherril: sure, we like to use the acronym fast, and that helps us to know that stroke treatment, it needs to be treated very timely and quickly. so "f" stands for "face." if you see someone with a one-sided facial droop, maybe their eyebrow and their eye and their mouth, or just their mouth sometimes.

we welcome commissioner fong. sue hester. there was something at the last month's board of supervisors on tuesday and they had opted findings on 1052 fulsome street and overturning the conditional use on that project. and i think that there's something that will come to the planning department that will get something from the board of supervisors, but not today i believe. seconsecondary, the chart that'e on the overhead, showing the rate of growth of jobs and housing in san francisco is sobering. i want to follow-up on what commissioner rich talked about in his presentation about "the new york times" study. san francisco led the country and the region by adopting housing requirements on commercial development in the 1980s. it really did, it's part of the planning code. and we've kind of fallen down in the past decade, and i think that the people really need to revisit what we do to increase the housing demand by changing buildings. it was in the early 1980s that the demand was that you're building a new office bui

[laughter] >> thank you. commissioner hillis? >> to follow up on some of your comments, i think it is unfortunate the state tabled some of these housing bills, especially s.p. 50 that i think generated a lot of good debate on what we all need to do to solve the housing crisis and the affordability crisis that we are in. i thought it was good debate, and i think municipalities are having that across the state, and the fact that one person at the state level could stop that or other bills, i think it was unfortunate. and reading that article, commissioner richards, i think it is probably the 600 iteration of that article. the question is, what do we do? i think it is a big question. it would be great to have a hearing here on if an spee 50 is on hiatus or if it will come back, or if we have local control what would we do. w

>> commissioner fong. >> two questions. >> when i purchased my first code, it was a little over an inch thick. will this process reduce the size at all? i have a mandate from my boss to make it smaller. it does. it gets rid of session 790, 890 and other conditions and consolidated so a lot of things that were repeated are taken out. and just the sort of consolidation and simplification is removing a lot of text from it. it won't get that much smaller but it will be fighter. tighter. >> the last question, can you describe the process whereby the accuracy of the existing code is translated? >> i start off by setting up a translation key, saying this use is referred to as this, because a lot of the uses were use the groupings and you had to identify which grouping they came from and i go through the codcodes and i do the translatin and it in the thing. then i usually have either the zoning minimuzonezoning adminisy work. they went through and checked and went through very detailed and caught some things that we fixed. as we go along in the process after this hearing, we'll continue to make

fong's expenses. it has this note exploratory pit to verify location of adjacent foundation to be made if underpinings adjacent method of construction i is necessary. work will be done under separate permit. we ask that we and representative be allowed to attend the site meeting with engineer to review the recommendations. we ask we are allowed reasonable now anchored -- and to coordinate it with us. we are not contractors or developers, not experts. we are lay people. we ask the board's guidance and protection. in dealing with the proposed renovation we had to seek out lawyers and contractors. it is a financial burden. in our dealings with mr. fung they have not had our best interest at heart nor do we expect they should. they have misrepresented themselves. i bring this up because it has created adversarial relationship we do not feel comfortable relying on their suggestions how to proceed. they have not had our best interest at heart. they are rebuilding a house and are going to sell it. this is ou

commissioner fong. >> question for staff. four story buildings in the inner sunset and in the richmond usually generate some discussion. was any effort made to show the context around this area in terms of four story buildings? >> the context of the existing mapping of the block face was definitely a consideration when the design team reviewed the project. one of our commonly used approaches to make the building if it is taller to be more compatible with the existing structures in the neighborhood to provide set backs on the fourth floor or upper floor. this project provides 15-foot set back. anyone close to the project it reads more as three story. at further distance you will see the fourth floor. the building to the right, that would be the south of this project is a larger building, one of the larger ones on the block face and provides transition to add that corner as it gets taller, those buildings. there was consideration. the residential design but the team found the building compatible with the neighborhood. >> commis

commissioner fong? >> mr. christianson, just to confirm the situation, i don't know if you know this information, the commercial unit is part of the h.o.a. or is it separated? >> my understanding is it is all covered under one h.o.a. >> one h.o.a. for the entire building. >> i receive information anecdotally so i can't confirm things, but i have heard that there was some discussion of splitting the h.o.a. because it is not typical for commercial units and residential units to be managed under one version, it is more typical for them to have some separation, but my understanding, and i am sure the h.o.a. can opine more with the integrity. >> the commercial unit is owned by the regional developer? >> that is my understanding. >> perhaps i will ask that question of the h.o.a. president just to confirm those two questions. >> there are 12 units total, three commercial units, and they are all under the same h.o.a., single h.o.a. >> and the three commercial units are owned by the developer >> the developer owns thre

commissioner fong. >> a couple questions for staff on the report. was there pretty much agreement on the methodology used to determine the demand? >> demand? so the framework in terms of the level of housing growth is actually the regional plan. so it's looking at calls for about 35,000 housing units being built every year. the most recently adopted plan through 2040. and the region, the nine counties collectively there's about 20,000 or so that have been permitted in recent years so it's quite a deficit. there's also, you know, a pretty steep disparity between most of those units that have been permitted are above moderate. so there's relatively limited low or moderate income housing being permitted at this point in time. but that's the basis is the adopted plan, adopted by (indiscernible). >> in terms of the section that dealt with a.d.u.s, it talks about residential districts. in san francisco would that just be our districts or other mixed-use districts? >> i think that james can better answer that question. any district that allows residential

fung -- not fong, mr. fung on the board of appeals, and he, in his usual, modest way, he kind of glossed over -- he's got an impressive resume. he served on the planning commission, 14 years on the board of appeals. i think john king in yesterday's chronicle, had an article on a.d.u.s. he talked about it was such a vast challenge, vast and vexing, the issue of housing across the spectrum, affordable-to-family dwellings, and we have to do that in a way that we balance it with maintaining neighborhood character. well, it's hard for me to imagine -- i'm not saying this because i know this or i've had the pleasure of serving with him. but i can't imagine anyone more qualified and experienced in san francisco to deal with these issues. he would know how to deal with simple things like a deck and how to deal with a high-rise. he knows the zoning ordinances. he knows about the building codes, the planning codes. he knows just about everything there is to know. i thank you for your time, and please select this gen

the inspire event was well done, and i thought the panel discussion was interesting with rodney fong, the new c.e.o. of the chamber of commerce, and nice that he has experience personally and small business. maybe we will get some root new interest from him at the chamber of commerce for small business. i attended the mayor's small business award ceremony at the war memorial, as well as the policy roundtable at the war memorial. all good events. >> i was able to attend the small business awards and that turned out to be surprisingly awesome because i was able to score major cool points with my kids by getting a picture of the president of "thrasher" magazine i had a lovely chat with them about the ins and outs of riding a skateboard, which is something i really wish my kids didn't do, but they like to do it for some reason. it was a great event. i wish i had more time to go to more of these things, it is really fun and interesting. you really learn a lot about your community when you go there , which is awesome. that is the best part. >> yep. commissioner ortiz? >> i want to thank my

>> commissioner fong's name is also incorrectly spelled in our hearing agenda. it's spelled f-u-n-g rather than f-o-n-g. >> chairman: i believe that is the correct spelling. usually it is incorrectly done the other way. >> i'm so glad you brought that to my attention. i thought that the entire time i know you. i pressed the button for another matter. i'm extremely pleased to see that the board of appeals passed a resolution encouraging the establishment of notice requirements of all tenants of a residential building when permits are added. this is exactly what we have all been concerned about, and i am very grateful that that has happened. >> great. commissioner fung? >> i was going to ask the director to provide some further clarification on the intent of the informational presentations, especially on major projects. so my question is: are they asking -- is the staff asking for initial thoughts from the commission? and if so, then we have nothing to base it on, other than their presentation that day, which makes it a little difficult to gather your thoughts. >>

let's talk about this with our cnn reporter brian fong. good morning to you.ly, youtube took that one video down. what are social media sites doing to stop this stuff? >> well, twitter right now isn't saying very much about what it's doing, but facebook told me this morning that they're demoting the video, making it less visible to users of its news feed, although it's not completely removing the video entirely from its platform. the reason, it says, is because the video doesn't technically violate its community standards. there's no rule that says that items posted to facebook must be true. and that's why facebook has not yet removed the video from the platform. >> that's a -- i mean, this is such a predicament. it is an example of the predicament they're in, right? that fake stuff that affects our democracies, it is really significant, can be posted, right? and how are they going to deal with this going forward? can you just explain how these videos even work, how it's possible to make these? >> sure. so, one of the things that digital forensics experts have

. >> president melgar: commissioner fong. >> commissioner fung: you know, i think that it goes back to my point that i brought up at the beginning of the meeting is that if the intent is to just show us where they are, that's one thing. but if the intent is to have commissioners bring forth comments of concern, then we need to see something beforehand so that we can make that decision. i'm not comfortable with just seeing something like this, similarly to what happened last week and yet to be able to make cogent decisions or comment on the issue. so i think that we -- as a newbie please enlighten me on what the intent is on these informational project presentations. a question for staff on this is, what's the height limit on california? >> sorry, the height limit on california? just a sec. it is 80 feet the whole way. >> commissioner fung: immediate block or how many blocks adjacent? >> you have -- >> commissioner fung: if you have a comment come... >> the 80-foot zone is just on this property. >> commissioner fung: just on the -- >> and it's know not entirely on this proprietary. ther

. >> commissioner fong? >> a question for staff. at one time when i was a little bit more coordinated with the engineers and their projections, at that time, their projections are different than yours, from what you had in your briefing, and has that been coordinated so that we are all on the same page >> hi, are you asking on the difference on the sealevel rise productions -- projections that we are using? we started this work, we were using the latest science adapted by the state of california, which is from the national research council in 2012. that science is very similar to what the army corps is using in the state of california. the army corps has its own sealevel rise tool that allows you to adapt the signs to different regions of the united states, but as you likely know, climate science is a very continually evolving field, and we are getting more sophisticated computer simulations and more data, so there is a much more recent climate science that adam had mentioned that came out in 2017 and 2018, and that is there project

we represent fong, the restaurant worker working multiple jobs trying to represent her daughter.i represent huang, who is living in a house with other families. i'm representing high school students, some of whom struggle with mental health, anxiety and health issues but are not able to get assistance because of all the cultural barriers and the fact that they are facing so much pressure at home from their immigrant working parents who came to this country in order for them to be able to go to school so they better succeed in school. these are some of the folks that i represent, folks on -- in school who i now represent. every day, watching the news, feeling there's no way they're going to be able to return to the city. san francisco is already in devastation in so many communities, working communities of color. our city deserves working neighborhoods, thriving neighborhoods, not just struggling to survive. this earthquake that supervisor mar referred to is only one of the many crises we have to deal with, and we hope -- >> supervisor mar: thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi.
