to the following restrictions which is maximum signage must be the smaller of 300 square feet per parcel or linear foot of frontage and the maximum height of signs can be up to the base height of 90 feet limited to 45 feet in height which is exactly -- so again the reason for the amendment that i-280 runs 45 feet in height directly adjacent to the building directly in conflict with where the sign is loud -- allowed to be at. this is found in the master plan and the master development. the same amendment is proposed for both but there is specific language included in the package for each document but they will allow signage on the western facade for the buildings west of owens street to be installed up to a maximum of 80 feet to be limited to 30 square feet and that is consistent with the planning code which limits highway signage. they would also be lowered to a maximum of 45 feet which is consistent with the language as it is now before the amendments within one 1 year of the removal of i-280 is brought down from it's current height and that's what the planning is looking at. it provide

credentials i thought i'll mentioned i was involved in the city side managing the operational boulevard parcels i remember this issue distinctly coming up at the end of the day remember why we talked about that exception in the code you know somewhat having to do with the octavia parcels that were narrow and long and concern about the significant 40 percent 2 bedrooms into those projects so and i also i mean, i wasn't a huge fan of the 40 percent two bedroom project by project i'm a bigger fan of plan wise it is difficult to enforce that so you come down to a project by project if you look at how the city has evolved really it is 3 flats with 3 bedrooms and bigger projects tend to be smaller unit which i think works i get the notion of wanting to have no more sizeable unit in the overall market octavia plan we've deposit that so i don't think we're running a risk if we grant in exception for the 40 percent rule we're opening the floodgates we're being specific in market octavia this is possible so certainly it is fairly significant jason your original letter on this was kind of any sentiment wh

there are now 421. 900,000 people took food parcels last year, free food parcels. you talked about broken britain and fixing it. you haven't. it is more broken than it was. prime minister cameron: i don't accept that. if you look at what's happened with our economy to our 1.8 in a million more people in work than when i became prime minister to -- jeremy paxman: is increasing food banks a market success? prime minister cameron: there has been increasing food bank usage. that's partly because of the difficulties we face as a country. it's also jeremy, because we trained -- because we changed the rules, the previous government did allow job centers to advertise the existence of a bank. that that would be bad pr. i thought i was a wrong decision, a poor decision so we allowed them to point people towards the banks defended them. the big picture is here, is we want to get more people back to face, we've turned the economy around and it's jobs -- jeremy paxman: it's unacceptable in a rich country like ours that there are that number of people depending on free food they

need to fund it to make an impact it has to go beyond the impact fees to a broader you know bond or parcel tax kind of taxes in order to do it i don't think focusing on market rate housing is ever going to be enough to solve some of the protons we have that's what we tend to focus on it is good to get a bigger picture you know in the issues of the potential funding. >> okay. >> commissioner wu. >> i just wanted to add on some things i think the planning department staff to a lot so that this report when we were looking want housing elements a couple weeks ago there were a lot of questions on jobs and housing i think that generally i guess i have the suggestion we try to incorporate this data or work closely with oewd with the housing work i know we've got the industry report this report really starts to answer a lot of questions we start to have and the second thing on this question of the local surveying businesses say there any kind of planning code co-relation we have so many types of businesses are there certain ones that fall skwairl within the city and make that easier for those type

in many different ways and one way we have something called through lots where you have a single parcel of land starting at one street and goes back to another street say from state street to or kid court and the building pattern is they would build a home on one side of the lot and on the other side would remain as green space essentially rear yard space and so there's a trend of subdividing those lots and i believe the bulk of the actual vacant lot and if someone wanted to build a building there greater than 3000 square feet you can still get the yard but if it's over 3000 square feet, you would need to seek a conditional use so only if you are building more than 3000 square feet and so if it were an r 2, and there's a lot of r 2 in this area and they were both 15 hundred square foot units, you would not trigger the conditional use. it's only if it's very very large. >> supervisor yee, does that clarify the issue for you at this time? >> yeah it's more for clarification. it wasn't not to to support this. i was not going to not support it. it was just for clarification. >> okay thank y

that have to be repaired that were the city's responsibility but are a backlog and that's why the parcel tax is as expensive as it is. i think that's a good thin. we need to spend the money. this is again another opportunity for us to pay attention to deferred maintenance. >> that's great. i think one thing we talked about before in our discussions about the type of program that can support the trees is job creation as well. now we're able to fund maintenance of the trees is make sure there's local access for people into these green jobs. >> i think about 10 years ago the budget for the bureau of urban forestry was 7.5 million dollars. i think it got as low as 1.7 million dollars. that's all personnel. the number of arborists went way down. >> it was around 14 before, 15 about 10 years ago. >> yeah, and now it's way down. it's cut more in half. so hiring more people and also be using contractors also. >> i know we're a little bit astray, but not too far astray. what is the norm for other cities in terms of responsibility for sidewalks? >> the best practice in the united states is you hav

there is $90,000 for common maintenance charges for the parcel. again this was increased as a result of the closure of the commercial tenant. next is disposition costs. the rops include 125,000 for costs associated with the ongoing management and ultimately the disposition of ocii's assets assuming that [inaudible] approves the long range property management plan on or before this rops include and include all of the other costs associated with the disposition process. next is yerba biewn on gardens and as you know we have obligations as a property owner of the jessie square garage and the mexican museum site. both of these properties will be transferred to the developer of the 706 mission mexican museum project under an agreement approved by the commission and the oversight board and (inaudible) in 2013. until that happens which is hopefully this summer ocii must pay costs associated with the jessie square garage. accordingly the rops shows 23.7 million for the garage which represents reimbursements to the operator for expenses, parking taxes to t

nations the mandates -- and this is something he said in a subsequent speeches -- is that you cannot parcel people out and hand them around without thinking of their interests. when the middle east and african colonies were disposed of, they were not given directly to the victors. they were handed over as mandates of the league of nations. britain and france, australia, and south africa were given mandates to run these and had to report to the league of nations. there is a step forward that these territories had to be administered in some form of international system for the benefit of the people living there. a lot of people saw that the cynical western imperialism. i think a lot was. nevertheless, it was an important idea introduced. the problem with the middle east is it was the sort of problem you had in central europe. how could you draw rational boundaries to make rational states? the peoples were mixed. you could not have ethnic states. even drying a kurdish state would have been difficult because the peoples were so mixed. in iraq, you have persons, arabs, jews -- kurdish, arabs, je
