mr. sugaya mentioned that there are some. what are the practices? how can we support folks that may not always have the means. the example that i thought a few months ago was a liberty hills discretionary review. it had to deal with a traffic enclosure. the extent to which this can go is a concern for me. when we start to meddle in people's lives to the extent of how the trash should be closed. we need to set the parameters in invest so that people have certain expectations when people are living there and what to expect. i thought that conversation got a little bit extreme. two women tried to raise a family that had property in a historic district. how they kept their trash. i do not know. if that is what people are expected to have certain standards around that, then you really need to think about to what extent we want to control people's lives in their neighborhood. i would like staff to weigh in on the section that he mentioned. that is the standard for reviews of applications. the secretary of the interior's standard and whether or not that wo

commissioner sugaya: a quick question to staff. mr. morris is no longer the architect, is that right? >> that is correct. he is no longer employed by the yees. commissioner sugaya: and to your understanding from both parties, there was no communication in the last six month or whatever. >> there was minimal communication and atechts to communicate and my understanding is the attempts failed. >> obviously nothing got worked out. >> not to my nobling knowledge or the d.r. requester's. commissioner sugaya: i would like to support the staff motion which would indicate it back five months back or whenever we heard it last to revert back to the 1998 and if that takes an intent so that we can clarify exactly what existed at the time versus what apparently was approved by d.b.i. mistakenly, i am kind of confused on that. >> i think ms. hester is stating am kind of confused on that. >> i think ms. hester is stating

mr. president, the item is before the commission. public hearing is close. commissioner sugaya: i move to certify the final environmental impact report as adequate. dennis second. >> commissioners -- >> second. >> commissioners, the motion before you is for approval that the environmental impact report is complete. commissioner antonini: aye. commissioner borden: aye. commissioner fong: aye. commissioner moore: aye. commissioner sugaya: aye. commissioner miguel: aye. thank you. that motion passed unanimously. i take it we are now going to item 12. the glen park community plan certification of the final environmental impact report. staff is not here at the moment. may i suggest we go back and take up item 11? with that, commissioners -- commissioner miguel: 9. >> ok, sorry. we skipped nine. we will go back to item 9, adoption to planning code amendments related to the creation of a definition of student housing. >> good afternoon. the item before you is a proposed ordinance drafting by the department that defines student housing and mix associated modifications to the planning c

commissioner sugaya: not to prolong this, but i am in favor of the project. mr. williams, i am getting the impression from the dr requestors that they either did not know or have a feeling that the unit, either one, was not going to be occupied by the project sponsor. because testimony said, "there are going to be luxury condominium units, and we will have whatever people moving in upsetting the diversity of the neighborhood." the they understand the project sponsor is coin to occupy one of these units, did you know? -- is going to occupy one of these units, did you know? >> that is what they have been told. can i comment? president olague: no. 40-x no, sorry -- commissioner sugaya: no, sorry. >> i wanted to point out a mistake on the plan, on the roof deck. commissioner sugaya: talked to staff. it is a strange argument, to me. obviously, the project sponsor bought the property, probably north of $1 million and south of $2 million, somewhere in that range. they are going to be, now, as they have presented to us, occupying one of the units. whether the building st

mr. lord, for all your work. and the encouraging to hear members of the community also really support your involvement. so want to thank you for that. and commissioner sugaya for continuing to be engaged in this. what i heard today i thought was some more authentic community vig vision for japantown that was not driven so much by certain financing pieces like increasing heights and sort of having to base the plan on that but basing the plan on what the community wants to see develop there. and then sort of like this is our vig, vision, and then we'll figure out the financing rather than having the financing determine the vision, so it is kind of nice to see that today. i support a lot of those concerns that commissioner sugaya raised, though, around the housing and who would build it and that sort of thing. but hopefully it will come around. the commercial land trust is an interesting and the community land trust for commercial use. and i think commissioner borden raised an interesting example of that, but again, with hamaguchi mentioned that 3d says there's -- it's not for sale. so what do you do with that, right? there is all that that still has to be wo
