. >> thank you, john ram from the planning department just to you know scott sanchez the zoning administrator and over the enforcement and christen the manager of the code enforcement program and audrey has done a lot of research in what other cities have done i want to thank president chiu and for working closely with the department and commission is this is a complicated issue sequoa i think there's basic agreement the planning commission meeting was held on august 7th this is primarily to set a path for making this activity legal in a reasonable way for people to share their homes and aiding the issue of the not having their housing taken off the housing u housing authority this balance is the right thing to do sequoa the commission believes it is time to update the law to allow for accomodation sequoa i also think that our best guess based on the research there are about 5 thousand units in the city that are being advertise is and it's difficult to know how many of those are unit not lived in on a if not for the truth of the matter asserted basis the primary complaints 2, 3, 4 from the ne

. >> scott sanchez we're doing a little bit of traveling you able to see the file some background it came in 2000 for the city landmark the permit was in 2002 with the addition of the garage that was limited within 16 feet during the course of construction i'll note that headline marks the review for the original review in 2000 was approved had a garage door without authorization they stand the garage door up to 18 street attempted at that legalize this it went to the advisors board they were going to have two separate garage doors and the landmarks board they made a motion to accept the staffs represents but ultimately didn't accept the recommendation so there's no final action there the planning director at the time who was overseeing the sift of appropriateness issued a certificate of appropriateness for this which went back to the 15 foot garage door opening as previously states the c of a submitted a building permit with the 18 foot garage door it was did understand it was appealed and tendon to the charley from then commissioner sugaya to go back to the landmarks board that's n

. >> thank you scott sanchez planning staff the subject as proposed meet planning code requirements not a requirement for the firewall not within my of the open areas for the property and typically i think as this board knows the expansions section 311 notification rifrmentd, however, as drawn the plans are exempt because the deck d is less than 10 feet in height if a firewall it prompted greater than 10 feet in height that's a section 311 notifications this is under the jurisdiction of the board of appeals and i will note that the reminded for the section 311 notification is the result of the zoning administrator section 11 not stated there think i understand there's one person requesting a firewall and maybe that can be discussed more further as we do the results but certainly having the party here requesting that the most combanthd party they could be justification for not requiring the full neighborhood notice for that portion of the project i concern is on the other side on the south side of the promissory note property although notification was provided for the hearing there has b

i'm with scott sanchez the zoning administrator.with a follow up to july hearing, the department requested an authorization, and requirement of the review process to speaking controls for flexible use control for controlled resources. we prepared a short presentation on this and copies have been handed out to you since it looks like the laptops are not working. so just to give you an overview of what we'll discuss today. we will talk a little bit about the preservation incentives. we have divided the incentives into four categories. land use incentives, other requirements, financial incentives and miscellaneous. then we'll talk specifically about five of the code incentives that seem more period tinent to a lot of our discussions today most of the incentives apply to a variety of types of historic designation. in general, most of the incentives apply to article landmarks, contributing resources to article 10 landmark distribution, category 1, 2, 3, 4 within article 11. properties listed in or determined eligible for national histori

members of the commission, scott sanchez, zoning administrator. per section 219, it's different and very distinct from the process currently at 83.9. if you are in a pdr one district in 1st district in a landmark building it's permitted without any further review or evaluation. that's one of the things that may have been confusing for people because in the eastern neighborhoods mixed use districts we have brought projects for your review and consideration to help advise me as zoning administrator to determine whether or not the change of use would address and as mr. sue krey in his memo a very thorough discussion for the 83.9 process. your advicing about the recommendation whether it would enhance the feasibility of the historic property. that threshold evaluation is not present at all in the pdr 1g district. it's as a right where there is no further review or violation of the task. >> it says no more than 5,000 feet. that's where i was getting confused that the projects coming before us like 2 -henry adams like those were substantial amounts of s

is non-compliant and i tried to get typed up a letter to ask for a letter of determination from scott sanchez and i still would like to do that and i would ask that you continue this matter, so that i can get some resolution, but that backyard is so tight there is very little space in it. and it is, just not consistent with the code, there is, and that is, you know, it shows one view of the backyard and, here another view of the backyard. and there is very little area there. and the amount of area that is required and i lost the piece of paper down there. but in any case, with that 91-foot depth and 25 percent required which means that it should be at 22, and 9 inches, and they would, 1729 square feet of unobstructed rear yard space and so it is just... there should be uniform application of law. i... it... i didn't... i didn't find out about this until may second. and even though i went to a preap hearing in january of 2013. i heard absolutely nothing about it. even though on the... well... okay, permit details report, it said that it came in to the department on december 16th, and it had a

it the academy of art issues and i never seen so many complaints and so many buildings against scott sanchez and the department telling them not to build and they continue to build and i have seen it back and as glen said and they exist with the existing square footage, and well, in one of these expansions they tore out the backyard and expanded to include all of the stairwells and supposed to have an emergency plum and they continued to cook and fixing it passed it. and they did not measure the front right. and this has been really, a hard case. our group believes that you have the right to embellish your house, but this has been so many violations that we are saying that we support the dr requestors because of these violations. now, number two, if you decide to build, to vote for this there will be two repercussions one of them because of all of these infractions that they have not followed, every other developer in town can use this case as a precedent case and it is going to cost the department a lot of money, because there are going to be more dr and more problems, and etc.. number two,
