that i will actually provide them with the information and handouts that are specifically out of the code to be able to do that to assist them in the process, so that's how i assist with over the counter permits if it comes to that with commercial. >> thank you. can somebody just talk about how this checklist might help small businesses better comply with california's accessibility regulations? >> this is steve dolim and as part of that checklist committee i would have to say remember this was a list geared to trained building federals who d -- officials and have the code at their fingertips and more knowledgeable with the code than the common business person so i would say this is not geared to the common business person but to a practicing business official and may encourage that they need counsel as a small business before embarking on their changes. >> yes? >> i think the value for a small business person is that it makes a list in simple terms of the kinds of things they need to be asking about for their store like doors and series. what does it mean? and it allows them to ask the qu

if people understood it's more than the code and it's basic civil rights and it's the right thing to do they might take it more seriously than a building code thing and this is probably related but a lot of the problems that i see in accessibility don't start at the first inspection with the building inspector. it goes back to the architects who don't design with dimensional tolerance, and if every building department will tell all of the architects to go to the access board's website and look at the study that they had david balace do about three years ago on dimensional tolerances and read chapter two. there's three of them and it's all about designing in tolerance. the codes have changed in recent years so there are few absolutes and more ranges but still when i look at drawings because i do some reviews too i see the absolutes still appearing. one in 12 for a ramp and 32 inches clear, and people don't realize that people can't build that way, so if they would all go to the u.s. access board's website and look at the study and read chapter two and design the tolerance in their draw

we will attempt to keep it up-to-date for each of the code cycles. for example in the 2013cbc that was issued january 1, 2014 and effective date we also have the addendum -- sorry, is that the right therm? but the july 1 changes issued in 2015 so we again go back. we will augment any code changes or any other issues in this so that we keep it as a living and breathing document. again we're very proud of the efforts that went into this, and the kinds of surveys and feedback and data. we had help along the way from cal bo in running surveys with its membership. we had help with building standards commission surveying their membership. we had input from a lot of organizations, and there is much time and energy that went into this. there's a lot of pats on the back that are due, and it's my point in the meeting to turn over this to one of the commissioners, betty wilson and chris downey to help recognize all of the efforts and further this meeting so thank you very much. [applause] >> okay. now this is an example of accessibility because here we are being

the appellant just now raised some planning code issues that the project may not be consistent with the planning code. those are related to rear yards and construction. those issues were not previously raised but i have reviewed this project in detail and appears to be compliant with the rear yard and rear obstruction requirements. based on that, i feel the permit was properly issued and i'm available for any questions you may have. >> thank you. anything, mr. duffy? >> commissioners, joe duffy, dbi. i don't have much. it's a site permit which has been approved and the addendum is currently being reviewed. but i don't have any building issues to bring up unless anyone has any questions. >> there was a claim that there were inadequate fire exits and the additional of the lower units would pose a significant danger to safety personnel should there be a problem like a fire. >> i did hear that whenever the gentleman spoke there. i wasn't familiar with the code section that he gave. if he wants to elaborate more on that on rebuttal. this code 12 something i don't have that. my understanding

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. >> it's pretty high, you know. see people take an elevator ride. problem is, there ain't no elevator. the fall doesn't hurt. it's the sudden stop at the end. >> utah state inmate tony duran is well versed in the convict code. he's spent the majority of the past 23 years behind bars for burglary, robbery and a slew of parole violations. >> the convict code is the person that carries themself with respect. he only talks to the man when he has to. he don't sit there and kick it with the man. you don't tell on nobody. >> 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 got kids coming in here, you know. some are gang bangers that don't know how to carry themselves. and some of them, they just don't give a [ bleep ] about respect or nothing like that. >> we discovered the proliferation of gangs in every prison we profiled and

put simply the planning code is candidate in the two fees and one funds the affordable housing funds are self-appropriate and the planning code is silent in prescription language for 3 fees, however, to complicate those fees refer to the fund that is self-appropriately parish the draft ordinances seeks to correct this this is at the request of the controller's office again to be clear the draft owners in no way aeltsz the expenditures by the fees i'll be specific the fees revenues are restricted to used by the mayor's office of housing on the other hand and community development for affordable housing in all cases those are administered through by the mayor's office of housing it will be carried over to the administrative code no spending practice changes given this ordinance we right request the 90 days are waved to the board of supervisors can consider consider this with the commission i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> any public comment is closed. >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >> commissioner antonini. >> thanks before the waive on this maintains i make s

supervisor weiner is only going to be dealing with the planning code amendments and no changes to the health code and it will be introducing new legislation as opposed to amending the divided file. >> uh-huh. >> the 2 pieces of legislation items number -- you know the health code legislation and the planning code legislation are going before the board of supervisors tomorrow and the amnesty program which you heard at your last commissioner's meeting is in the planning code and that program will be moving forward and voted on tomorrow. i think one of the things that i didn't really quite understand and appreciate until this weekend after talking to a couple massage practitioners, is around the solo practitioner establishment and that is that there are many massage practitioners who may work in different chiropractors offices or they may work in what supervisor tang has developed in terms of where solo practitioners might work together and then in a chiropractor office and these individuals are going to need to get a permit and that means an application fee and a practitioner permit fee

allows zoning administrator the authority to enter the code as long as it is consistent with the express standard purposes and intent of this code. to adopt such rules and regulations and enter patients if he deems necessary to administer and enforce the provisions of this code. however, under section 307 [inaudible] is not granted the authority to make an interpretation in or determination that is in conflict with existing rules or regulations. section 249 33 limits the applicability of 309 exception process to conversions of existing structures. this circumstance does not apply to the 150 dennis project. the planning commission approved this project with the understanding based on the project functioned the building had a lot of the coverage of 83.4% on the ground floor. this letter coverage number is wrong and give the false impression the building would only minimally exceed the requirement. only on the ground floor contract three weeks after the hearing -- submitted another exhibit is a the lot coverage of 83.4% on the ground floor and 82.1 on the second floor. to be submitt

the housing fund is not currently defined in the administrative code only in the planning code and typically specific program funds are defined and governed by the administrative code and that would be corrected by defining it in exactly the same way that other special funds are typically defined and secondly the so-called appropriating language is not consistent in the planning code and the jobs housing linkage fee as well as the incl u.s. ionary housing fee are called out as self appropriating but refer only to the affordable housing fund otherwise silent as to their appropriation so the larger fund to which they refer to are silent and the draft ordinance would clarify that all of these fees are self appropriating and the two fees and one fund are self appropriating and seeks to correct all of this at the request of of the controller's office and to be clear it in no way alters the allowable expenditures so mainly all of these fee revenues are restricted to use by the mayor's office of housing and community development and the mayor's 's office of community development would continue to a

so what did the state code say? the key issues in a state code starts out by ordinance a single family and multifamily residential zones. further down it states every local agency shall grant a variance or special use permit for the creation of a second unit if the second unit complies with all of the following and there is a list that you have to meet or do. then it states no local agency shall adopt an ordinance that totally precludes second units single families or multifamily zoned areas unless the ordinance contains findings acknowledging the ordinance may limit housing opportunities of the region, san francisco and further contains findings that specific adverse impacts on the public health would result. no changes or other ordinances or any changes in the general plan shall be required to implement this subdivision. so we are asking you to implement this subdivisions in light of the state code. >> do you have a legal opinion on this? >> not yet. but they are probably going to have to if they go further. he nee

the current code requirement is limited to prop c but otherwise bound by what is in the planning codewe have planning code to implement i mean generally 12 percent that applies to develop that are specific for somewhat higher levels of affordability but otherwise a separate part of code that goes through the prop c process. >> thank you. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further we'll move onto the regular calendar items ab for the case hide street a section 309 determination of compliance and the zoning administrator will consider compliance. >> good afternoon commissioner president fong and members the commission kate co-sponsor o connor planning department staff you have before you a project constrict an 8 story 85 unit with 89 hundred square feet of ground floor and 15 off-street parking oar 10 inclusionary housing unit provided on site it is has a one story structure leased to the united states postal service the project is located in the c-3 g and the hide and bulk district the project manager will give a presentation but i'd like to focus on a number of regulatory issues in

all building inspectors were trained with the code. ey have it available to them if they need it but often a quick tickler is important to all of us when walking the field so as a committee we concluded that would be the most easily portable and easily assimilated product. it would be short, easy to carry. it could be put in a three ring binder or carried about. our second task was related to how do we develop this check list in the manner that isn't a repetition of other documents that are out in the field? and we concluded that today probably one of the hardest short coming is a major construction job is finished and the knowledge fortunately -- building official shows up and it's terrible to hear this floor needs to be changed because the toilet is in the wrong decision. we need to move it over 3 inches so we reflected on that and concluded that many of the agencies are already at the site multiple times so we did a quick survey. we found out that sacramento county had eight stages of inspections already where the inspectors were on

>> the code question mark stephanie: besides the fact that

, of the intent of the code, the zoning administrator not use his discretion. the courts direct account body such as the court of appeals to go for two reasonable code interpretations. as -- were an official enforcing ordinances as interpreted differences granted the agency's interpretation lessons clearly erroneous or an authorized. local officials interpretation be overruled only if a reasonable person cannot reach the same conclusion. so under this deferential standard, we do believe that the zoning administrator made a reasonable interpretation of the code, that the planning commission in reliance on it interpretation made a reasonable and fact-based decision that a small exception to the code was wanted. thank you. >> clerk: >> commissioner i believe in your brief you indicated that there were multiple design concepts for this property. did any of those concepts create a greater setback adjacent to the la porte school site and change the same density kubrick >> testifier: no. this form, was the claimant went for starting in 2013 with the planning departmen

so we're trying to work this out there's a provision of the labor code that is being applied so the opinion came from the departments attorney and but it also it is being concurred with - i shouldn't say it is concurred we're still looking at it with our attorney they're often in the city attorney's office, however, and that is attributable for us it sets aside a practice that we've having had for many years and not and perhaps the labor code provision is determined but certainly makes things less transcript and it frustrates the complainants ability to have the complainants complaint heard so. >> is that an issue of first impression have we dealt with this before it is a frustrating practice in the past is it feasible. >> yes. well - new dating back to november. >> if i could the police officers picture the names are provided by the psas are not sworn their civilians if there's a complaint that request for all psa pictures and names so the union weighed in because they're represented by a different group and that's where the conversations is. >> and curling the city attorney's

and the san francisco building codes didn't need a permit the main questions actually things we would like to whatever the charges one 02 dot one is not applicable so we want the board to reremove the amendment. >> any commissioners have any questions. >> okay. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> inspector we have a couple of questions for you thank you. >> just to point out the neighboring property at the street they were issued an order abatement of march of this year for the same conditions for the retaining wall and the retaining wall. >> they have and filed the permit and around that time february 23rd to a retaining wall in rear so it was property line adjacent to 126 shakespeare so basically the property owners have filed the permits by filing them more properties are acknowledging they're a problem at the retaining wall and if one of the permits is issued inspectors signed off then that would deal with the issues on both properties but for both properties on the leveling the playing field if you pull the abatement on one 20 shakespeare to the board of permits

how do you get them to understand why the code is written that way. >> i find that in my role at sutter health so my job is to -- i basically see myself as the quarterback for disability compliance program so there's the policies and procedures but also the barrier removal, so i am kind of the quarterback for the team of planners and architects and everybody that's involved with building care sites or doing barrier removals and reporting on the progress there, and have two things that come up sometimes. either that wasn't called out in the survey, and yet we have to do it to meet code, but the other thing that we're working on there is it's sort of -- you know, what i would like to see is have people think maybe not strictly to the code. some people are so focused well this wasn't specifically spelled out but the ada still requires to think about how a space is used and who is going to be using it and designing it in the way that people have equal access so i am wondering if anybody would talk about -- when you talked about doing outreach to architects and contractors and working with p

and special project sponsor that should get this kind of weird sud that is not the way that the planning code should work. >> commissioner richards. >> interesting i was reminded after hearing that about what mr. sanchez to apply until after july 2nd we can tackle those things the last project in north beach that was food service routine restaurant we were at 74 percent serving i have a question for mr. sanchez can you please length of your lease can you share that. >> 10 year 10 year option and one other question i understand the model is a you - it is nice to have by rights in the city the planning staff mentioned 232 other sites did you consider any of the other vacant sites. >> when the commission decided to look for new sites we carved out a footprint for the new momma's the original momma's is a tiny kitchen with 13 tables we wanted is that 7 seat location around 28 hundred succeeded of importance to momma's concept is the open kitchen when you walk down it is my dad said he i think vented the way to sell food wait outside so when my brother mistake asked me to look at vallejo i packed

and map conforming less about the rincon hill code for the size of towers more about the fact that the map has a line that moves from 4 hundred to 65 we need to stay - when achieving the best answer we could create a housing project. >> why not ask for an exception on the 65 feet. >> you could do that and move the tower that's an officer, what we did we were able to reduce the decision making to real 2 exceptions one so for the tower separation from 45 and one for the bulk we pet that and reduced the size of the floor plate of the tower we existed that down to 2 but going down and restrict that we'll allow for a larger tower. >> hey, we have a project we are going to build it and oh by the way, it's under the footage. >> we'll not. >> you have your projects you'll conform to the project. >> it is the way is reads i'll see what my fellow commissioners have to say. >> there's a lot of discussion with the staff we talked about you know changing the 65 height limit and the staff felt more comfortable coping the 65 feet adjacent to the fre

i am wondering if you can describe the changes that the chew code required and whether you seen it has made any difference in anyway, whether it's the relationships between landlords and tenants or improving access or just educating tenants about what the status of their building is? >> so just to reiterate the requirements are that when a property owner is engaging in a prospective lease or just about to sign a lease and/or renewing a lease they need to inform the tenant or prospective tenant as to whether the space or the commercial space they're going into is either compliant in terms of entrances, exits and restrooms, or may not be compliant and then who is responsible and needs to state in the lease who is responsible for ensuring that any non compliant improvements are to be done. the concept of this was to make that clear so that if a tenant could see that a property owner saying i can't guaranteed that my space is compliant, and that they see there's a step up that they assess as to whether what is going to be the cost of making that entry way accessible? can they afford it? ca
