mr. sanchez? >> good evening, scott sanchez, planning department, just to respond to a couple of points, first in regards to the concerns about blight, after the collapse of the building, i did meet with the department of building inspection, they had in there -- and inspector duf if can get the terms right there's the engineer of the project sponsor, there was also the enbacker engineer for the adjacent project, there were meetings to discuss this, it was determined that the retaining walls, the foundation work needed to be done in order to stabilize the hillside so that was authorized by the department of building inspection, i concurred with that. it was necessary for safety of the community, that was allowed to continue, but no work beyond what was necessary to stabilize the site was allowed so after the stabilization was completed, they submitted the building permit application which is now on appeal before you today my understanding they've largely been stopped for some number of months and

mr. sanchez? >> scott sanchez, just to reiteratefinger this is not subject to the directive, there's no requirement for a discretionary review, there's no bbn, thank you. >> mr. duffy, anything further? commissioners, the matter is yours. >> commissioners, this case is way different than the previous case. >> yes. >> the previous case, well, i don't want to talk about too much, but there was an issue of what was a number of units and it was actually zoned allowable for two units. here it's only allowed for one unit and the owner occupies the top floor. i'm not even sure it's an owner move-in situation. .sing it's the brother that lives on the top floor. >> it's family. but the question here is it's not warranted as a second unit or even a third unit, and therefore they're not allowed. >> so the permit was properly issued, is that your conclusion? >> that would be my conclusion. >> yeah, i mostly agree. i think that the there's legal rooms down and it is not a second or a third unit property it's a

mr. sanchez. >> no?laughter) >> so commissioners the matter is submitted. >> maybe i was getting used to us. >> you know this city also amazes me how the patterns of land use are always to interesting question here is perhaps maybe resolved on a legal and civil basis more than at this particular forum but the question. >>was the zoning administrator letter of determination an error or i'll just say error because he would never abuse it sorry - and the question i think the answer to the question in my mind it that he didn't error he is correct in saying it is a fractured determination the zoning is residential and therefore i'm not supportive of the appeal >> i concur going over the material i just couldn't believe this has gone on without anyone saying anything i agree with the commissioners. >> motion. >> move to deny the appeal uphold the letter of determination on the basis that the zoning administrator did not error or abuse his position. >> there's a motion on the floor from commissioner fung to hud

mr. sanchez? >> thank you, scott sanchez, planning department, so i heard the appellant say they would like to avail themselves of the sdetion nair review process, they weren't given notice, so they didn't have the opportunity to file the discretionary review. it sound like they husbanding they missed the opportunity but based on our records, you know, they should have gotten notice under our procedures, so i'm available for questions. >> so, could you clarify that again for me, mr. sanchez? >> given that we would request that the board deny the permit to require reapplication of this to go through the proper bbn notice procedure which would give the appellant the ability to bring this as a discretionary review to the planning commission. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> mr. duffy, anything further? no? commissioners, the matter is submitted then. >> there's definitely a process issue the question is -- there is no question. >> yeah. >> contrary to what occurred in the previous instance, which was in m

mr. sanchez for pointing out the discrepancies we'll make the planned corrected and we're proposing an open railing we'll be able to achieve that by filing the roof construction we'll be making those are moefktdz and we'll be smimentd those in the process and cabo san lucas to the seismic issue of the costs if we push the verizon edition forward into the street we'll trigger a full seismic upgrade that includes this following one you couldn't live in the house during construction it's a small house to begin with no way to do that the project sponsor will have to find xhoomentsdz for the construction occurs, and, secondly the foupthsz be will have to be replaced and third filed in on the floor old house no plied and last the fact it is small actually makes it more complicated notice continuity so the it will be stroll costly i think my numbers is actually modest extremely costly that's why we're proposing a modest horizon edition something that my clients can afford and we wanted to insure what we're proposing will be affected by dbi so we took the steps have a preapplication and a interact

mr. sanchez. >> thank you.mmissioner president lazarus and members of the board live scott sanchez planning department our position remains the same the permit was issued the permit should be denied and do the proper process consistent with the commissions decision when we had a discretionary review in light of the decision at the last hearing the possible outcomes i've prepared a revocation inspection should the board deny the request we'll seek the building inspection get a permit this would add more process moving forward because our request to revoke it will be appealable and there's an appeal process without revocation moving forward certainly in the board denies this permit gichlg the ability to correct the permit that is the most straightforward decision we'll request that i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> mr. duffy anything no any public comment on this item? seeing none commissioners the matter is submitted. >> my position remains the same the rules for rehearing are clear up new information ne

mr. sanchez. >> good evening scott sanchez planning staff i think some of the history of the project has been acted this is an rh2 with the zoning district the parcel maps have been revised because of the shape and size and configuration also topographic it is a angle lot up and above or higher than the appellants protein as well as towards the rear this property plays into it the previous variance that authorized a larger envelope than what we have before you today that was never pursued a building permit that was received to start construction so that has expired and within the project was resubmitted we have a different process for reviewing the residential guidelines with the grade level consistent and we have concerns about the variants one of the things i'll note the planned that reflected the commission and my decision son the variants i don't think that which is put on this screen by the appellant it can be found in exhibit d of the permit holders brief so make sure the changes from the previous plan to the neighborhood notification we have a group form and short depth been unfor

mr. sanchez? >> thank you, good evening, scott sanchez, planning department, so first i have a few point ins the beginning, questions in regards to the form type, the application form type, that's a determination made by the department of building inspection, whether it's an alteration or a demolition, there's different color form, different number forms that's a determination made by dbi, that's a provision in the building code, that's something that is in the discretion of the department of building inspection to apply, what we work with in the city are several definitions for demolition, so the department of building inspection that hair own definition, in the planning code we have one under 317 which has a couples of calculating it, you trigger 317 if you require a demolition permit pursuant to dbi requirements and this's also two other calculations based upon the air y of the building and the amount of walls that are remaining, further, we have additional definition that we use for demolition

mr. sanchez will you be willing to have departmental assistance try to mediate and see if the board as a direction in particular the answer to other process the ground floor was not as much as an issue and the concerns are really related to the second-story edition had it focus on the relationship of the second-story edition to the adjacent property or also exclude reduction in size of the ground floor which i the appellant can address that. >> why not focus on circumstances and side where it goes. >> thank you. >> that helped. >> on that motion to continue both motivators to march 18 for further negotiations. >> commissioner president lazarus commissioner honda commissioner wilson thank you vote is 4 to zero both maternities are continued. >> commissioner president lazarus moibdz. >> adjourned

mr. sanchez? >> good evening, scott sanchez, planning department, the subject property at 1325 kansas is within an rh2 dwelling unit, which would allow up to two dwelling units the three hour report on the [inaudible] indicates it is a single family dwelling there's three permits, a 1990 permit for roofing and then two permits from last year one which is on appeal and one for some repairing cracks and some other minor work, those are the only permits i see on file. i would like to note that the subject permit is not subject to the requirements of planning code section 317 or to the mayor's executive directive which applies to building which has existing legal units three or more, and this has come up many times before, i wanted to reiterate that for everyone's benefit. certainly the second unit could be legalized either through normal process because it is an rh2 zoning district or 2003.7 of the planning code which allows legalization of such units and reduces the process that's needed. that's not

mr. sanchez the percent of one hundred what were the complaints that are valid. >> the number of complaint that come in that represents a planning code i don't have the exact percentage it is quite high we often get complaint that are real violations and part of that is it that violation of the planning code or the building but a high percentage - >> there's not a lot of waste then great. >> a few more questions so the one time funding allocation of $3 million for the ftes for 2 1/2 years we're bringing forward for the next year's budget can you explain that is this something that was spent are we committed to the next 2 1/2 years how does that work. >> keith department staff just to summarize in the current year the 2014-2015 e the board adapted 8 permanent positions over 2 1/2 years to continue to reduce the backlog of the applications we have staffed up i think if most not at all there's a total of 15 positions we have staffed up and that money will be spent over the course of the review. >> one other question i saw in one of the comments a 6 month lead time to get people up to speed on

mr. sanchez i read about the actual rentals a complaint based take action based on complaints is if you're sitting at our desk and seeing you're on around and three-quarters of listing don't have a numbing none you don't wait for a complaint and the enforcement system. >> if we're aware of the violations we'll pursue it; however not enough information to pursue enforcement because they're may not be information that identifies it as app a property go to american people airbnb listing in i have tools and resources that allows us to identify particular properties 2, 3, 4 vision we can pursue. >> a followup question do we have the legal capacities to request this liz for airbnb are hosted. >> we can certainly work with the city attorney's office and airbnb from past discussions that has to come into the form. >> so i'm not a little bit worried about 6 months from now we have half the hosts to register that's huge with offshore host sites are based on the information we have readily available i guess to mr. cowen's point about the index g a it's good investments for future but good data draws
