>> biggest issue right now and for potentially decades to come is parker said -- park merced. the owners have proposed demolishing half of the units and building 8000 new ones over the course of the next 25 to 30 years. that is a significant change for the district and the region. it is right there on the corner of california highway one. whether or not the project moves forward and if it does, how the city and region grapple with the growth is probably the biggest challenge of the district. >> how will you balance the needs of the city against the needs of your district? >> that is the biggest challenge for any representative, whether it is a local supervisor, assemblyperson, or congressional representative. it is important that i keep in the back of my head that i sit on the city and county board of supervisors. there is a responsibility to the city as a whole. there is no easy way to balance it. you deal with those issued by issue. >> the city is faced with tough budget decisions, including where to make cuts and whether to raise taxes and fees. how will you approach the di

the park merced shopping center is one, which and large parking lot that accommodates more than a few cars. there is ample space for an automotive rental business like u-hall. there are no other businesses like in nearby, so people tend to drive to pacifica or another city to get theirs. we recommend this. allowing the automotive sales is good policy for the city. it will establish neighborhood- serving businesses, creates new jobs, and will produce significant tax revenues for the cities. this is a win for our neighbor shopping centers, job seekers, and san francisco. not all nc-s are suitable, but some are, so we urge you to recommend approval to the full board. thank you. supervisor mar: thank you. are there any other speakers? cnn.com public comment is closed. can we move this forward without objection? ms. miller, please read item number two. clerk miller: item two, a hearing for the potrero annex and terrace project . supervisor mar: we have supervisor malia cohen. >> this is a hearing, and there will not be a vote. this is one of the next hope projects that will be transforming

we're on the back side of lake merced and this is the route a lot of people get to get to 19th avenue and 280 southbound for the morning commute. this is going to be tied up for quite some time. i would advise actually cutting behind the mall in order to get to 19th avenue or you can also head up lake merced boulevard and cut over to john daly and get to 280 that way. those areas are typically very crowded so you'll see traffic definitely impacted this morning. live in san francisco, tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >>> more searches are planned today for morgan hill teen sierra lamar who disappeared a week ago today. the fbi is now helping after a new clue was discovered near her home. ktvu'ss ali just spoke with the sheriff. >> reporter: she shared new information on this case. first, i want to set the scene. this is the cul-de-sac where sierra and her family live. this is where she was last seen a week ago today. when we pulled up we were surprised to see all these cars and bright lights set up here in the driveway of her home so early in the morning. we soon realized the nation

this is lark merced blvd. it's all made of clay. it's going to slump. these are the roads built in the oakland hills. nate, red woods. skyline. and enabled them to go up and develop the hills. the rural roads that go through the coast range. this enabled them to get their stuff to market. this is at road built by the ccc. this is a bridge. this is highway one and you won't know, except you look at the bridge and you will see dates, 1938, 1939. the airstrips are ccc. and the one out at treasure island. long beach, burbank. this is oakland and the whole built line railroad was redone. 19 is a pwa project and our great amphitheatres are from that time. this is santa barbara bowl. this is the forest theater in carmel and these are ccc workers putting huge bolder. here's 6 thousand people getting ready to enjoy oklahoma in that theater. big basin is a ccc project and this one, on the east river, new york. a project built where people from the lower east side could see performances and still do. our parks and recreation. almost all from them. that's the conse

there is a big sequence of merced formation. this is a base in deposit that was formed by the interaction at the end of the continental margin. >> this is just on top. this is the same material that we were looking at at the last site. you can see it is on our way to the last side. it is deposited here by wind. it is 40-50 feet thick. this acts as a big sponge. the water flows through and it gets in a lower formation and then the water level starts to rise and it becomes a reservoir for water. this is dissipated during the more dry months of the year. >> this forms a big long skinny basin and runs into san francisco. it is the coastal bluffs areas that are subject to erosion from the waves and the ground water that comes out and you start to lose this. this is the largest example of failure for a long part of the coast. it has been moving continuously for a long time. >> the ocean was at the same level as we are standing. in 1982, and massive slide occurred further to the north of and one day it moves 5 feet and by the second da

it when they did park merced, they rammed it through in one day even though they themselves raise questions about the illegality, they went ahead and did it anyway and were surprised when the task force found them in violation of the ordinance. [tone] president chiu: next speaker. >> good afternoon, board of supervisors. i'm a native of san francisco. i live in a four unit apartment building at the corner of 30th avenue and california street. i sent a letter to supervisor mar last month. although acknowledge as having been received, there is no response from the supervisor or his office. i would like to share this with members of the board. february 9, 2012. dear supervisor, please help me understand why mr. bob chu continues seeing clients at his residence when he has been told by the planning department multiple times that he cannot see clients at his house. he is a tax accountant and various people come and go to this house seven days a week, often parking in my driveway. he denies seeing clients there, but after confronting one client after he parked in my driveway blocking access, i wa

upper 60s common from stockton, modesto, merced, into sacramento.o also in the upper 60s as will be monterey bay and ukiah at 73 degrees. your pinpoint forecast check out these numbers because today we increased by 10 degrees in many of our neighborhoods an additional jump-up tomorrow from 63 in pacifica, 73 degrees in santa rosa but it comes with a price as the pollen count is extremely high from the juniper, alder trees blossoming. 10 degrees cooler monday. chance of rain returning on tuesday. then again on friday. meanwhile, it looks like the sierra forecast calls for bright sunshine each day temperatures into the 50s so all that three to five feet snow will be melting very, very quickly. and meanwhile there's your sky here in the bay area for whatever you have planned as you head out on this friday night. you might want to grab a jacket to be safe. we cool off rapidly at sunset at 6:04. >> stars will be bright. >> enjoy. >> it's another sign the economy is turning around. more and more people are spending money remodeling their homes. len ramire

. >> in 1906 it didn't matter because the rupture went from the ep pi center off of lake merced and wentn both directions. so the doppler effect was felt in both direction. >> also in 1906, nobody was here, right? >> well sue sudro was here. >> if a tree falls in the forest, and nobody hears it, well now there's a lot of housing here and somebody's going to feel it. >> i saw a map that this area was severely shean in 1906 although almost no houses were here. we can expect the same action? >> i think you have to different differentiate, but you may not get as much damage here as you would at the shore line or san francisco bay. this is a rough site -- >> if you're going to be out in richmond, it's right there. >> yeah. i have heard that along ocean beach here and a few blocks in, there are some special hazards because of the fact that there's water underlying the ground and so on. is that -- >> yeah. there are hazards associated with anu$quake. obviously the firstçó one is ground shaking which we talked about. then there are other gee owe logic hazards and that's where the sand turns to q
