the planning code section. the gentleman's unit is a dwelling unit as defined in this section as defined a residential unit can be a legal conforming a legal unit or a legal non-conforming unit the law does not permitting provide a third definition the conversion to non-residential unit with non-legal status requires a building permit not a plumbing permit there's nothing that says its illegal and in the paragraph 6 of the regional occupancy two family dwellings there's no pending 90s notices on the non conforming status the september 2013 nova didn't mention it i'm going to be showing you a data sheet hopefully, you'll see that after two recent inspections on june 24th and july 9th any public comment? 2014 the inspections were inclusive as to the existence of a violation of the housing code with respect to the legitimate of the unit. after further use on july 21st entry the housing inspector said it shows an r-3 d 23 facility the legal description further indoctrinates defines two residential units on the groun

this is for the business sign in the planning code >> thank you. i'm the author of item one my co-sponsor is supervisor chiu. day today those zoning controls amend did business sign intended to identify signage to the business in which it's connected and the products in the business those serve to dish a particular business between a general sign sloops as a billboard this is hat notice been updated since 1965 since then the practices are challenge we have seen links like loopholes that have been identified businesses turn business signs in effect the billboards that will close the loophole the voters have over and over again voted in large majorities stating they don't want billboards in san francisco this is inconsistent with the preferences dedicated by the voters at the election time. so those controls will close that loophole to make sure the business sign is connected to the products being sold in the business as opposed to a billboard. so we have dan here from the planning department and mr. cannabis dispensary i want to give you the opportun

enforcement officers. >> what's the plan. >> more than 13 hundred codes and packages of regulations from thought clubs and massage enforcement and affordable housing we deal with the general building requirements working with the legal construction activities things that may or may not included like the affordable housing that is just some things. >> i see it's complaint driven. >> correct we have placement driven enforcement you'll see the work from john and working on the store front efforts he headed up the citywide survey with the removal of signs and we're doing practice enforcement incorporation with supervisor chiu's office so we're trying to do pro-active enforcement with you we get seven hundred plus complaints a year and right now, we're in closing out more seven hundred and making what you think our backlog but try to publicize how to make complaints on our website or, of course, 311 make a complaint we've got to it. >> you have seven hundred complaints today is that a rough average per year and it's increasing people that have complaints they

it's required by the health and safety code to choose more stringent provisions and it can be less stringent. they have you have to have findings bussed on local geology, topography and climate. so it was basically the stringency on the idea and they asked that the city attorney's office weigh in on it. they agreed it was less stringent so it can't go forward as a code change, although alternate methods are available so they can be posed through that on a case by case basis. even if dbi disagreed with the proposal it would go to the board of examiners for a decision so it could still go through. >> could you give more detail about why it's less vin jents. . >> corridor air cannot be used for ventilation intake air, all kinds of stuff. and then there's exceptions and the proposal is an exception. >> at the state level? >> local. there are always a few exceptions. it starts out saying ing you can't do it. >> i mean, it seems like the technology is, like, cutting edge so is it likely that the state will respond to that and allow for these alternatives or kwif len says, i guess it woul

and the puc codes i was not involved but the city attorney's office. >> i don't know what the how the process went but in the end you could have had a supplement that said the law standards to be applied would be the ones in effective it says whatever codes are ♪ place at the time of the permit. so this changes are important and i think we need to post them so supervisor kim if increase no additional questions i'll taken a motion to move item one to the full board with positive recommendation as a committee report >> so moved. >> when i come home to you, san francisco >> madam clerk item two. >> this the for the police codes and arcades. supervisor breed is the sponsor and i'm a co-sponsor so here we are from supervisor breed's office is connecticut nor >> thank you supervisor wiener supervisor breed had a conflict i wanted to make a few comments as the sponsor of the legislation it was playing arcades at a party of supervisor chiu p that effectively this the code not enforced that was a bit of a surprise so in district 5 in the upper hate bumped into

the goal is to have all the zoning districts a in the planning code reference one definition. the phase one in the 3 phase process if approved by the board of supervisors it will amend articles 7 and 8 and consolidated the definitions. let me stress our intention to make a few subsequential changes as less as possible and there are also two subsequential changes from the northeast ordinances have been reviewed and voted on as follows: non-conforming surface parking lots built before 1985 are not grandfathered and xherthd and the new used for the unknown conforming use will require conditional use approval it is principally permitted even if the use established an industrial use those are left out of your case report and this commission has weighed in on those to recap those are extremely large over 4 hundred and 60 pages not to make land use controls that are not voted on by the commission the goals are to reorganize article 2 aren't lists the dings and that all districts reference one set of use dings. over the next month and a half the department will look at the provisions a

there's all kinds of stuff you don't do. >> that code of conduct is the convict code. and the penalties for violating it can be severe. >> the fourth deck's pretty high, you know. people take an elevator ride. the problem is there ain't no elevator. the fall doesn't hurt them. it's the sudden stop at the end. >> utah state inmate tony duran is well-versed in the convict code. he has spent the majority of the past 23 years behind bars for burglary, robbery, and a slew of parole violations. >> the convict code is a person that carries himself with respect. he doesn't -- he only talks to the man when he has to. you know, he don't sit there and kick it with the man. you don't tell on nobody. you don't let nobody know your business. you don't get in other people's business. you respect yourself. you respect others around you. >> but these days old-time inmates like duran all agree the convict code is changing. >> well, because the different breed of inmate that's coming to the joint now, you know? you got kids coming in here, you know. some of them are gang bangers that don'

the japanese code clerks at the agency. in fact, japanese code clerks at the agency were having trouble decrypting it, so much trouble, in fact, that they were not able to get it done until well after 1:00. and when the japanese diplomats finally reached the secretary of state's office to present it, it was way past 1:30 and the air raid on pearl harbor was well underway. for the rest of the war the japanese would be understandably accused of starting the war without a declaration. so again this is not just a part of our nation's cryptologic history, but of the history of world war ii in general. purple does indeed fail us at pearl harbor, but there is a silver lining to this otherwise dark cloud, because it does help us to win the war in many other ways. probably one of the most impressive is baron oshima. baron oshima had been sent to germany as a military liaison officer in the 1930's and had been witness to hitler's rise to power. he was a huge proponent of adolf hitler, and an even bigger proponent of the concept of nat

not within the purview the code this is something with the planning commission commented open but the board will future leg let and there's not discretion in the legislation for the planning commission to further look at the short term rentals. and we'll see you know how this develops but at this point there are two pieces of legislation and in effect that prohibit short-term rentals, and, secondly, there would be a condition, you know, it would behove the commission to find something different from other residential buildings that warrant a particular condition >> thank you commissioner sugaya. >> yes. on that point just to make clear ambassador short-term rentals less than thirty days are currently prohibited in the city unless someone comes and asks for a bed-and-breakfast type of permit that's not allowed in every zoning district anyway. so at the moment we know there is pending legislation before the board of supervisors that will alter some of that but i think it's for the public's sake should make clear that short term rentals are currently prohibited in the city of san fra

the hotel code. these b and b units are being treated as hotels and they need to be brought up to the hotel code and we have major questions as to whose responsibility that is, what level of safety the people staying there deserves, if we need to put maps on the doors, how to mark emergency exits, major life safety issues because these units are not up to hotel code but are being operated as hotels. my association represents landlords and in the end we're liable for any injures that occur and it's a major concern for our members so i wanted to appreciate that. ed mention that. i appreciate you considering may thoughts. . that's mostly. ly it. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> my name is dale carlson, i represent the cam main committee that was formed to create a ballot measure. on the ballot until november of 2015. i know you're aware of the b and b legislation, i'm not sure if you're aware of the problem. we have more than 10,000 units listed in san francisco right now. 75 to 85% of those are not home s

of his own troops were violating the code. sets up again further rules for the prisoners of war, but they are not substantially different than existing rules. the only difference is the united states is now explicitly codified a more -- a few more rules and the united states has made it clear it expects its soldiers and its enemies to abide by these rules. well the confederates can say, we are not under your code, the confederates were certainly aware the lieber code was out there and could be used against them. we have heard talk about general sherman. he marches to georgia under the lieber code and there are times when he orders the execution of his own troops for violating its. there are northern troops, for instance -- sherman's office was finding a covered wagon full of things american soldiers had taken from southern homes to read sherman orders the trial of everyone connected with this wagon and he simply burned the entire wagon. he does not know who they belong to, but they are not going to belong to american soldiers.

and in the police code 11 e.r. more games constituents an arrest warrant cascade you have reached a critical mass of games below 11 there's more flexibility we said for non-bars anything below 11 they don't need a permit the entertainment commission doesn't need the oversight. there was some debate how we deal with bars originally the legislation that was introduced said a bar can have one game and anything else needs another permit. the - supervisor breed said allow bars to have up to four games that passed at the land use commission and passed at the board of supervisors and the police department were concerned about that it meant there would be businesses between 2 and four outside of the good neighbor policy and their purview so supervisor breed and i and the city attorney's office meet with the police department after that 72 the board meeting and it's a good come mice a bar can have one game and 2 to 10 over the counter permit and the application of a will be wrafd that seven hundred plus fee will be waived a

there is and you know how the planning code works. it's variable but i believe it's addressed and in addition obviously as you know if somebody doesn't have a area footage it's a fire hazard if something is wlok blocking the door. there are other departments that are regulatory that the come into play. >> including ada. >> okay. last but not least if there is no fee with the permits that we issue, not the one, but the one that is over one, and we do cost recovers as -- is that not correct in our commission, we do cost recovery? how do we recover the cost for enforcement or anything else we might do? >> so you want to speak to that. >> go ahead. >> connor didn't -- there's a little confusion here so one of the reasons that we met again with to address the supervisor's concerns and pressures on small business and not wanting to lose the oversight we had but also want to be mindful of them trying to give small businesses a break so one of the things in this negotiation after the first read was that we would say that there was no applicati

they contacted the entertainment commission that afforded that and we looked at into the police code and frankly find quite a bit of it no longer relevant and expensive for businesses. i'll mentioned a few things back in the 82 there was concern our arcadia were corrupting the youth and the board of supervisors at the time this is in 1982 wrote extensive regulations dealing with or a cascade games it was 6 thousand words dlailt when and where our arcades can be in san francisco. this has been outdated there are reference to the department of electricity that does not exist and to the other department there are arbitrary positions on the square footage and not have an arrest warrant cascade game within 5 feet of another or a cascade or gas station in the district i haven't figured out the reasoning if you're knowingly in violation of the requirements the chief of police will impound our arcades until you pay to the police department. thirty years later a lot of those regulations look cumbersome and upper necessary and there was a lot of concern about the impact of the arcades on child
