mr. sanchez, was a co-compliant scheme shown to the department? >> who worked close with the department on the various iterations. >> thank you, i will say that we have been presented with really numerous iterations and permutations of the property over the years to get a design concern that the department had initially and some designs of the neighborhood and architecture hired for the project. putting to the with respect to the rear yard variance, anyway you slice it, a project that meets the traditional urban design expectation with building front ages to continue and any property with that sort of revision is going to require a variance for that aspect of the code. now, in many ways the open space kind of sunlight access and the dwelling exposure variances can be thought of as somewhat related to those because for the dwelling and exposure and usable open space, if those areas identify to meet those requirements are located within a complying rear yard, then you satisfy those requirements. if you just do it in a nature to being a corner lot bu

mr. sanchez? thank you scott sanchez i wanted to mention that that one of the issues raised by the appellant was with regards to privacy and noting on the extension on the side of the extension facing the appellant there will be no windows and if anything the windows at the rear building are essentially being moved back so there's more privacy at least into their rear yard and also this shows the reduction in height where it was removed as requested by the department. i'm available for any questions >> commissioners. the matter is submitted. what are those documents on the perfumed no on where the microphone is? okay. thank you. comments. commissioners >> commissioners a couple of general comments. one this appears to be a key lot the appellant lot is quite a bit longer and if they want to expand their home. they can do it. two comments one by the va and one by the commissioners perhaps refers to a sizeable edition but once you look at those are relatively small homes we have homes that are 25 fee

mr. sanchez is saying and that's correct. if the skylights would be shifted to the left, we would need to get an accurate as built of the plan. if you want to put some language there i'm not objected to that. we can show the skylight that are different from this one so we can get it all fixed with one revision for the language it would we all good. >> did you get that, mr. pacheco? >> i think if the board is going to uphold this permit, i think this board needs to decide whether it's going to uphold this permit and let dbi do what it needs to do. >> i think if we create this would be another appeal. >> why don't we uphold the permit on the basis that it's code compliant. >> i can add if the inspector finds a discrepancy with these plans with the as built condition then we would have a provision to correct it. >> okay. that works. >> on that motion to uphold this permit on the basis that it's code compliant. commissioner fung, aye, the president is absent, commissioner hurtado? aye, lazarus? aye. the vote is 4-0. this permit i

mr. sanchez? at the current, with the current project they fall under requirement to provide to low income and moderate income is that correct? >> that is correct. there was a 15 percent requirement for affordable housing and it's now reducing due to prop c to 12 percent. it would have triggered 2 units. now under current requirements it's 1. it was by prop c by last december of 2012. >> they have pretty strict guidelines as to affordability? >> it's for the mayor's office of housing. >> it's not optional by the developer. >> they choose how they comply. they must choose by the departmental action. the fee is the first option and they can provide it off site or on-site. >> it's through housing? >> it's implemented through the mayor's office of housing. we work with them and we develop the approval and attach the entitlement. >> you said currently as the propose project is sitting now it would still need to supply one? >> so the new project were to be submitted and approved, it would be subject to

mr. sanchez. you also have 6 minutes. >> thank you. scott sanchez planning department. i will be brief as everyone else has been, we appreciate the diligent efforts of the deputy city attorney in these findings and the process that they have allowed for all parties to comment on that and also understand and appreciate the boards decision on this matter. i wasn't at the previous hearing but i did see a part of it televised. i understand the concerns of the board. however i also share the concerns that were raised by supervisors avalos, kim, mar, campos and by supervisor wiener. this is a code compliant project, it meets all the requirements for the zoning district and meets all the requirements and policies for the neighborhood plan. additionally this project was approved prior to the adoption of prop c and had 12 units for the subproperty. after propc that has lowered, so any projects with similar dwelling units wouldn't have the higher affordability. it's an opportunity to develop a project that is code complying that provides affordable housing and for that we respect

. >> glad to see mr. 0 sanchez back. i'm going to shout out to corey who did a wonderful job >> the next is the board minutes of december 13th. >> any questions or comments. >> i move to adapt the minutes. >> any public comment on the minutes? seeing none, please call the roll >> on that motion from the president to adapt the december 18, 2013, minutes on that motion commissioner fung. commissioner hurtado. commissioner lazarus. the vote is 5 to zero those minutes are adapted >> call item 4 next. michael schaffer vs. the planning department and the subject property is on cannon street to chris cob to repair and replace existing stairway and for the egress to provide new supports and imply with noticed of violation. commissioners you recall the parties asked for a continuance and the revised plans were needed. the patent has been here perhaps you've had more luck in reaching the permit holder >> i vanltd. i'm michael shaving by the way. at this time we have no news from mr. cob providing the plans i requested the plans bu

mr. sanchez to his program that had accepted him which was delancey street. he was processed in. was around 7:00 in the evening. at 3:00 a.m. the next morning, joseph sanchez walked away from the program. he was apprehended at a convenience store just down the road from the prison. >> the story was that somehow joe had made his way back to the gas station, which was just down the road from the prison, and the halfway house was a distance. it was a drive from the prison. so somehow he had gotten back to the area. an off-duty officer had stopped there to get some gas. joe didn't recognize him, but the officer recognized joe, and joe was picked up and taken into custody. to me, joe is a cautionary tale about our prison system. a lot of these guys will get out, and if they don't have the skills to stay out successfully, more problems will occur. >>> coming up -- >> after the stabbing occurred, my brother-in-law asked, he said, do we have an ax? >> a bizarre family murder plot sends a teenager to prison. >> i was in my senior year of high school when i got locked up. >> and 26 years l

mr. sanchez, mr. duffy, anything to add? is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners, it's in your court. >> madam director, these add drawings you say are supplemental so they would be conditioned on the incorporation of the supplemental drawings? >> that's right. >> okay. move to grant the appeal, approve the permit on the condition that the supplemental drawings be incorporated into record as part of the permit. >> great, to be clear these are the drawings submitted by the permit holder. >> dated 1/16/14. >> yes. okay. >> the motion is from commissioner fung to grant the appeal, uphold this permit with adoption of these supplemental revised plans dated 1/16/2014. on that motion to uphold and adopt and revised plans, president is absent, hurtado, lazarus, >>77 appeal no. 13-139 julio castillo dba "julie's hot dogs", appellanttss vs. dept. of public works bureau of street-use & mapping, respondent 4111 - 18th street. appealing the denial on october 16, 2013, of mobile food facility permit denial of permit applicati

mr. sanchez do you know?

mr. sanchez. >> thank you. scott sanchez planning department. this is a rehearing request. this item was properly before the board on december 18th the board upheld the building application and a standard of review whether or not there is new information that couldn't of been presented at the time of hearing. it seems the appellant is in fact rearguing the case here. all the material, all the arguments were available to them prior to the previous hearing. in regards to the question related to reliance, certainly they had approached the department in march with proposal. we reviewed that. determined that it was something that is code compliant. submitted an application and reviewed and an appealed to this board. regarding to this stipulation which is under planning code section 311 it's exempt from neighborhood notification. it's a longstanding interpretation that predates me as zoning administrator. it's more than three 1/2 years old if not older that would allow other uses in what is section c 26 closed garages that has landscaping open areas in the required rear yard. oth

mr. sanchez? >> thank you, scott sanchez planning department. the subject property at 530-day street. the appellant is located one property removed at 530-day street. this is a sloping lot so the property is higher than the permit holder property. also as the permit holder noted there was a 2011 building permit application for addition and to add a garage and that went through notification. and there were no discretionary review requestcious , the building permit was issued last may and after the issuance of the building permit, they decided to add the roof deck and access to that roof deck. based upon the plan, that is code compliant and would not require notice. it would be allowed without section 311 notice as well as the railing that is proposed. that said, there are a couple of discrepancies that i did notice in the plans which maybe something that can be addressed as through revision process. when comparing the roof plan and third floor plan, the location of the retractable skylights do not lineup. there is also a proposed stair from the deck at the rear of the building that goe

mr. sanchez do you know? >> commissioners, structural engineer, we used this last permit as a house cleaning permit as well. it is a series of violations from the past, one of them was dry rot, repair, and we wanted to include that response of the nov and actually put it as part of the list of items that we were going to take care of the roof deck and the parapet and the extension of the retaining wall and the patio and the response for the nov which is the dry rot repair. >> okay. >> >> i have a little bit more information this time, the original permit was actually to comply with the notice of violation and so maybe our staff saw that that violation was standing until all permits are seeupd off and added it on this permit as well, there was a notice of violation, it was probably a previous owner, but he did not say that but i imagine that it may have been a previous owner, and when we see a violation on there we like to reference that as much as we can and so when we sign-off on the jobs we abait the violat

mr. sanchez, thank you for your time this morning. >> a detroit bankruptcy judge rejected another deal toroit's crippling agreement with major banks. the judge said the $169 million deal to end a revenue pact with banks is too costly. he rejected a similar $230 million deal on the same grounds in december. in 2009, detroit offered banks revenue from casino taxes as collateral to avoid defaulting on pension debt payments. the city locked itself into high interest rates, however, the deal became extremely costly when interest rates plunged during the recession. >> tens of thousands of people have been disapplied in south sudan. 80% of refugees are children. many make the journey alone after losing their parents. we report. >> when the fighting in south sudan got out of hand, he clutched his bible and ran. his father, his only family could not keep up. he was shot dead in the cross foyer. he kept walking for three days before getting a ride to get the kenyan border. from there, the u.n. refugee agency brought him here. >> people were killing people. many people have died. it is only god kept

sanchez: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to lend a voice to the 1.5 million workers who have lost their federal unemployment benefits. imagine a choice before you where you had to either put food on the table or have a roof over your head. this is the decision that millions of workers, including 53,000 people in l.a. county alone, will face. all because my colleagues on the other side of the aisle refuse to extend unemployment insurance benefits. last week i had an opportunity to talk personally with constituents who were affected by the loss of these benefits. their message for me to send to my colleagues was clear. we are not lazy or unmotivated. we want to work. but as we continue to navigate a tough labor market, we need these benefits in order to provide for our families and to pay for the gas and phone bills that help us talk to potential employers and get ourselves to interview. mr. speaker, unemployment benefits are not handouts. these are benefits workers have earned. they paid into the system to help t
