scott sanchez, planning department. just some overview, it is 161- 165 newman street, located within rh-2, two-unit density zoning district, located within the vernal heights special use district. i think this is the first variants appeal that the board has heard that i conducted the hearing since the start conducting hearings in june. this item was heard on september 22, 2010. the subject application seeks variances from the lot area, rear yard, and usable open space to allow the subdivision of the lot into separate, legal bahts, one approximately 25 by 46 and the other 25 by 50, but which are substandard in terms of the lot size, even though it is a corner lot. it still requires a variance. into the findings, the vernal heights special use district does have some smaller than normal lots, but they are still generally 25 by 80 feet. the subject lot as it exists is generally larger than what we would typically find it in vernal heights. however, the property is excessively developed. in 1998, there was a building permit

scott sanchez, planning department, and in response to the information, the property across the street -- it does not appear those were subdivided recently. those buildings were built previously. the building in front was built in 1930, both prior to the lot size requirements. the building on the north side of the lot was built between 188 the aunt 1907. that is the information i found -- 1880 and 1907. they have done a good job of differentiating this, and also a stablishing there is neighborhood support for this. the department cannot just make a decision based on the fact there is neighborhood support. we have to look at the impact of the general plan, and i think issue is the similarity between the two, and that is a fair result large building developed. -- that is there was a large building developed. have there been a subdivision, that would have resulted in a smaller building. had the front building been smaller, had it been closer to being a code-compliant in terms of the rear yard, it would have been more justifiable, but a concern i have is that we have a property that has ex

>> scott sanchez, planning department. just to clarify, the proposal is for three new single-family dwellings. each of the buildings will provide two off street parking spaces for the use of the residents. the existing building will remain as a single family dwelling. it is an rh-1 district. in the future, they may be able to subdivide the lot. but that would be through subdivision and demolition of the building. that would have to go through the section 317 process for loss of a dwelling unit. i am not aware of plans for future development of the property at the corner. to clarify, i am available for any questions. vice president garcia: i am confused. it seems mr. gladstone said there would be two new curb cuts, three houses, three garages. >> there is actually a net gain. there would be three of street parking spaces with three curb cuts required. that would provide two off- street parking spaces each. the current plan would probably result in removal of one off- street parking space. we are looking at a net gain in eac

i love that phrase and we have scott sanchez from the planning department who is heavily involved in the sign issues. what are you working on now scott? >> we are launching the sign inventory so it's going to be an inventory of the advertising signs in the city and county of san francisco. we are getting inventories of sign companies and doing surveys. >> i understand that we are doing a city wide historical building inventory. are they linked together? >> no just for preservation and we will work together where we can. >> while you are out there i need some stuff i need to know. seriously once we are around looking stuff and we can populate the data base with other good information. that's great. we're glad to hav to yo we have a couple folks also here from sign america. thank you very much and i invited them to talk about the sign process. we have a lot of people here that know about signs. signs are such a big issue here in san francisco. i divided up the pictures and topics into four basic parts of the first is signs that advertise the commercial property for which they are locate

. >> scott sanchez. the subject property is located within the zoning district and seeks to merge the dwelling units from three to two. that was approved by the zoning administrator and includes a horizontal expansion at the rear but doesn't extend to the property line and maintain a three-foot side setback. the subject building application that was submitted in october of 2008. the required neighborhood notification was completed in august and september of 2009. there were no discretionary review requests filed. the building permit was reviewed and issued and we have the appeal. the proposed application is very reasonable and complies with the guidelines and no way does it maximize the development potential or adverse impact on the neighbor's property and believe that the permit holder's offer of further restricting the hours of construction is a really good neighbor gesture. they could operate seven days a week, 12 hours or so a day, so any effort they would have to reduce that would have to address th

scott sanchez, planning department. the subject variants is pretty straightforward. -- variance is pretty straightforward. the properties are located within a single-family zoning district within the bernal heights special use district. the properties are configured in such a way that both buildings straddle property lines. this is an exceptional circumstance that does not apply to most properties in the city. it is not something we would want to further. it is against any municipal code requirement. we would want all buildings to be on their own properties. the first property, 260 mullen avenue, is 26 feet deep. based on records we have, the building was constructed in 1929. 264 is the triangular plot, roughly 906 square feet. the building there was constructed in approximately 1906, based on our records. both contain single-family dwellings. unfortunately, they do cross onto each other's lot, not a condition we want to maintain. the applicant submitted the request to change the law lines. it is not creation of a new l

back there more signs that republicans love big intrusive government florida governor rick sanchez rick scott says me signed a new law that requires welfare recipients in florida undergo mandatory drug screens before they receive any benefits if they pass the test they'll get reimbursed if not eighty books also if they don't pass the test they're barred from receiving any benefits for a year so should we be forcing a family into starvation someone smokes a little pot on the side or is even in the room with someone who does which will flip a drug test positive and isn't this a radical invasion of privacy and is rick scott going to make millions more on these drug tests and his company does that our drug test you know for a permit we're going to try to save money so where it seems like a pretty good idea that maybe the government should be subsidizing someone's cocaine habit that's going to place here is no evidence that there's higher truckies and those that are on welfare than the general are saying they're going to accept government funds where i know what i do a good half and only a whole n
