finding 6-d of the planning commission motion states there is evidence that iris canada remained in her unit until april 2017. this evidence was based on hearsay and unsubstantiated hearsay by many people in the formal hearings. i want to go on the record stating that iris canada no longer lived in her unit after 2012, having lived directly adjacent to 670 page street, i can say for a fact that iris canada did not reside at 670 page street beginning in october 2012. this was presented in sworn affidavits in the superior court of the state of california by all the tenants living in the building, which you have records of. what we applied for the condo conversion, we stated that miss canada's unit had been vacant from 2012 because she was not living there from 2012 on. this is precisely what the superior court ultimately found when it declared her life estate had ended. there was absolutely no deception or intention to mislead the city in our application. to the contrary, peter owens personally contacted the planning staff before they released their first report, which, by the way, they h
