we could have one set of criteria for illegal units. people have built beyond a scope of a permit and it has to go back to planning and remains illegal for the entire time it's being evaluated. it's not illegal units, it's building beyond the scopes, it's the envelope, all of that. i think it's a good ming to thing to have a policy about it rather than have it be case by case because it weakness or argument when we let things linger. >> the thing we need direction from the commission on is if we have an order of abatement and we categorize them, the question is going to be do -- what do you want to do with those once an order has been issued? are those cases you want to send to the city attorney? what we're going to do is hone those down and categorize them for you. that's part of the process we should have for you by the end of the year. >> thank you for that. we're going the right direction here. just a question though, do we -- and this is to the director, should we set up and ad hoc committee on this or -- i mean, we kind of have som

of those cases where we wrote notices of violation for illegal units, how many of those property owners are going to avail themselves of legalizing a [inaudible] or a challenge for them. in that situation one of the things that's happening is the director, which was a fantastic idea, i really commend him for this, is asked to ask late last week, a list of all the open cases that have notices of violation that we issued in housing and the ones that were recently abated within the timeframe specified if supervisor's chiu's legislation. we will be doing a mailing to them directly of that legislation. it's my understanding that his code committee is looking at the information package, which bill talked about earlier right now to get that finalized so we will have a package going forward. concurrent with that, the rent board -- this is again, something that the director asked for in the meeting on the mayor's directive, has asked the rent board to send us notices of cancellation and notices of intent to withdraw so that we can look at those notices and see whether or not we have the unit vio

and you rove an illegal unit it will be subject to the discretionary review and give-up the history while the building on the 7 unit will be over zoned it would not be if constructed in 1912 and some of the facts there would be legally two units the fact there's two exterior doors the permits subject to the jurisdiction

the second point we've clarified when the illegal units are being when people are seeking to remove allegal unit in the directive they can feasibly be legalized we're working on a policy to deny legal and at the last hearing the units remain a live ability we're structuring our approach to determine the legalization on the report we counter have in place for residential occasion they're looking things from two lens their analyzed within a given you are talking about and actually, we have our first case filed with the planning department you'll see that in the next two months. lastly in the directors bullet we're hoping to clarify the point before your accident a few weeks mergers of twel unit monst monsterable unaffordable and this isn't a reverse even if course but we heard you guys want to continue down the path. the late update on the mrechlgs of the mayors project is task 3 our cooperation with the rent board i want to give you guys we've established a policy whereby the department wants the cost of the rental unit when we receive those our enforcement division is are you aware of

and you rove an illegal unit it will be subject to the discretionary review and give-up the history while the building on the 7 unit will be over zoned it would not be if constructed in 1912 and some of the facts there would be legally two units the fact there's two exterior doors the permits subject to the jurisdiction request why is there no exterior connection and the allegation it's removed don't have any evidence this is a clear a single-family dwelling dwelling and we rely on dbi and the report as we final record of notice the final records are not also correct. i'll note this was advertised and what we can tell the materials submitted on the overhead as a 5 unit in the front and 2 in the rear that was need in the record. so again, i think maybe department of building inspection can shed light but the additional research and the water department records they indicate there are that more unit than a single-family home so this will be submitted to make an appropriate decision on the matter my mr. sanchez in terms of the definition the question of the executive order and how they

comment i hope the group talked about to neighborhoods to find out that not only liveability of the illegal unit but once the density is lout in the building that's right a lot of complaint they don't want you tell units thrown up or legalized in most instances and also the desires of the neighborhoods that's that my success comment. on the merging of units it does have to be 3 legal unit before it i can see in but is there any difference given to unit that are all ownership unit like 3 condos they've been owner occupied our clarifications include those are factor in in determining whether or not to allow the merger purpose talking about rental unit if they're not rental do they fall under the control >> their rental their ownership didn't effect the process it can weigh into the planning commission consideration the big distinction i'm trying to highlight in the past we we have two groupings the units considered democratically not you affordable and the units below the metric are not effected by directive they've needed a may or may not meeting and there's a bunch of code finding that's not eff

we have requested a new budget for the areas you mentioned, the illegal units. the mayor's budget comes out may 22, but i'm guessing we'll get more positions for those new programs as well. part of the space planning option we have is to get a sub elementsal office. we're trying to find one within a block or so of our office so we can move some people out of our buildings, but give us more space to fill these vacant positions. we have lots of ideas in the hopper and i'm trying to see which ones can pan out. >> great, okay. thanks a lo. llot. lot. >> are we going to have a permanent director? >> i think you mean by gail's position. >> yeah. >> that would be finance. >> finance, yes. [inaudible]. [laughter] >> did you not get the memo, tom? >> okay. we go through the selection process. we get the final interview and then we make the job offer. hopefully we can go through all those fingerprint and background and then [inaudible] and then by, you know, the time before we formally announce, expect by next month [inaudible] because [inaudible] take a while. >> okay. >
