the rules committee shall be referred measure concerning appointments and ballot measures so i think under or rules it should be heard by the rules committee >> supervisor wiener >> thank you mr. president. according to had rules the land use and economic development [inaudible] land use zoning and planning and rent control and transportation and so forth. this is how we do zoning and impacts on housing and developmental so i think land use and economic committee is the appropriate one. i have a question for the sate attorney. in terms of rules and land use and economic development is there one committee it is sent to? >> [inaudible] may determine which committee to send it to. on rereferrals like this, the board could have a motion and determine which committee it should be sent to. the board rules on there don't require that it goes to one of those committies. it is a decision in the hand of the board members. >> thank you [inaudible] i guess for me, it is not so much about come committee it is sent to, but whether it goes calendared in committee and comes out of committee to the full board because dependent on which committee it goes to, there could be a situation particularly since this is time sensitive-there can be i

state of california and where the city was reexempted from trying to regulate the business activities so while the area of land use regulation was clearly within our local jurisdiction there were some areas that were preexempted by state law. i'll urge the commission if you want to look at it this continue you'll give our office time to update our research and determine to what extent to ghosts a condition of approval limiting the financial certifies >> i a.m. am grateful we hear the size of the community is local filipino lender want to stay, however, i want you to help us work that out and i actually i would gravitate toward this with more advise. >> i reiterate you retain our full discretion under the process to grant or deny the permit based on land use related issues. >> thank you commissioner antonini. >> yeah. so it so you would the city attorney will need some time so we should continue this item if we pass it today, we can't add a condition. >> if you want to propose it by the supervisor i recommend you thank you for the opportunity continue it. >> it's governed by state law i think he's asking not engage

to try to find ways to control the land values and land use and to use the city's economic success to get that land control. the ocii or whatever agencies that we have so that we can control land cost and invite the artist and artistic community to join us cloelg these land cost. we don't do that. if i don't get more of these land cost in control, then we are subject to the natural forces going on. our success will eat away at our local arts programs. we can't have that happen. i want to say to the whole arts commission, our helping hand, connect up with ocii and connect with office of economic development, use our success to turn around those properties that are getting out of control with our success. let's get some control in on this. let's invite more of our community based arts programs to join us, our local businesses to join. our foundational to support, our larger economic institutions that are led by kaiser and so many others. join in that economic, make the connection, make land control. we are not going to let the opera house and memorial get away from us. we are not going to let years of inattention get away from us. this is a planted flag

discussion i thought it was a comment i wanted to make that t is maybe we can get the information between that and land use today so we can get an understanding. this is not a decision >> please. i want to get information on the point you brought up to see the data behind it. >> to the members of the public we have given the same amount of time for everyone. >> i want to learn more about the breath of the comments. >> so i just want to say - well, first of all, a motion? >> i'll make a motion to forward this with recommendations. >> okay. so the motion by supervisor kim is to forward item 5 to the positive recommendations i will be supporting the motion. as i said last week, i still actually remember when we passed the voters the passed the ellis act relocation to 52 hundred and looking at where the rents are could i in the city boy have time changed in the city. i know that heard a week going goes by where i don't hear about a new ellis act in my district not only other district but they really raise again, i mentioned one particular landlord is ellis act 4 different buildings and just about every ellis act evicti

plan as we go, with each of the various, master plans that we have done and so for example, the master plans, for pier 70 and we consider that an update to the water front land use plan and so within this very building, region we have talked to you a lot about the conformance with the water use plan and there have been other projects that have been an update and i think that what miss woods was getting at was to public the document that was more comprehensive instead of having the documents that constitute the plan but are not located and i expect that she was getting at to check the boxes whaf we have done and so for example, the prominade was in the plan and of course it was been in the existence for now and i plan to speak with byron and diane about what that would take, but i think that is what she was getting at as opposed to reconvene. >> right. >> the community effort and the bill planning. >> i got that and as i understand it it is a review and a report on what has been accomplished. >> if you could get an item on that. >> yeah, so i would like before i commit us, i would like to figure out what that means because she was very clear about wanting to see

but they're no longer being used so their cut off from the waterfront they're not having the purposes so they could be used for other things so seawalls are this package of land there's on 4 of them on the northeast waterfront so a good example is this seawall 322 dash one is at the corner of broadway and front it's almost like two blocks from embarcadero to the west. so in the future that's why the use restriction is being listed for a given period because in the future mar 7, 8, 9 activity may demand those spaces become available to the port again so for now their land places that are isolated and cut off from the waterfront >> so thank you. some of the other questions i have and many have been answered but confirming in terms of developing the mo u a number of community groups were xhounld am i correct under the proposal from the neighborhood design to have a hotel on the site is that part of the project and then are they requesting no low income just moderate income and senior housing and including low income and in our meetings with the barry coast association and the telephone graph neighborhoods we've reviewed their 31st letter in there will and answer

break thg rules under the city terns advice that this particular resolution falls under either category. i just don't understand why we can't low it to be heard in land use sooner so we can get it to the board for a vote. that is qulaut i'm concerned about and scheduled for march 20 delays >> call the question >> at this time supervisor wieners motion to send this to land use committee is on the form. >> when do we vote? >> supervisor wiener? i. ye. no. avlose. no. bree. i. comps, no. president chew. no. cohen, no. ferrule. i. supervisor kim. no. supervisor mar. no. supervisor tank. i. there are 4 i and 7 no. >> is there another motion? supervisor co00 is there another motion? >> make a motion we send to the rules committee. >> seconded by [inaudible] let me say thing. either committee should be fine, but all you know i don't think we should play gamewise our committies as far as bottleing things up. the idea is to move things out to the board without recommendation and that is qulaut i believe will be likely out of the rules committee, but i do think it isport to have a full [inaudible] conversation. i wasn't prepared to smoret this today, but think it is appropr

the sand or swimming? how many of you say, "honey, i'm not so good in the land, but man, you should see me in the water." [laughs] come on, come on, most of us could go faster across the land, yeah? so it might be that you would say, "hey, what i'll do, is i wanna go the shortest distance to the water." so i'll run over here, and then run straight down. do you think that's the shortest time? if you run very, very, very fast and swim very, very, very slow, case to be made, you approach that. but let's suppose you run fairly fast and you can swim fairly fast, but not so fast, would it be that, this, or something in between? something in between. begin with ib. -- all right, begin with-- altogether, what is it? it's gonna be-- it turns out your path is gonna be something like this, see, okay? it's gonna kinda bend like that, okay? and guess what behaves the same way? begin with a l. light. light. light does the same thing. we call that refraction. go from one point to another in the least time, and do that by taking a bend. i can kinda show you that with this little demonstration. inclined plane and i get some wheels. and i'm just gonna roll th

first and foremost and the attorneys know and anyone who knows about land use is we can't take a one hundred 3 acres in this case without first having a meeting with the fact so no meeting was held and suddenly 3 hundred acres were declared a survey area we intended all the meetings so we know what we're talking about. but now suddenly dpw is coming her and saying no, we need this land vacated so he can do our infrastructure on land that is in filled the worse type and is prone to flooding that you have several representatives that have rubber stamped and attorneys that can't stand up i'll call them boovendz who does not represented our country and not represent our nation don't represent san francisco. can you image what you're all doing. the process has not been followed. what is important to note is that some people should be taken to court you, you using the act. thank you very much >> is there any additional public comment on items 1 and two. seeing none, public comment is closed. okay. if there's no additional questions or comments colleagues i'll entertain a motion to forward item one to the board without recommendation for a hearing on april 8th and i

and judge us to being the reality tv and also not to use in the unknown lands is on the shorts are new lenses so that time when did you use your eyes the creation of the two majors of the best that's because we went to meet as the best. this was the idea to whom the mansion to be close to them to meet them very soon. through. monckton also cold part of the world can you tell us more about what the filming was like uganda in the morning in what was a typical day like this testing was to get a still from the demands he be dead at the top of us got to take a shopper. five six hours with out anything in the rule within the elite rica. and denies or anything. and then we went up we had to reinstall our camp and we put in a concrete fence all around to be quite in the evening and we thought the best they can to make some interesting anyway. but the idea was even wanting to open the gate to do the fence to sit and to be in the world of the best and to respect them rules or so and that's also the idea. the seo my life was in danger with such wild animals. no mountain too sometimes the lessons from few y

the second meeting. so at this week's meeting supervisor wiener asked it to be sent to the land use. the city attorney advised the other equally committee would be the rules committee and stated a march committee would be arranged and supervisor wiener and 1ek9d by supervisor breed approved it and asked it to be sent to the rules committee. so it's pending before a rules committee. i have several introductions from the board members none of those are the planning code so we'll not be hearing about those arrest supervisor farrell talked about homelessness and they were separate for hearing specifically focusing on lgbt and age use and veterans and seniors and the housing lard and the on cost effective strategy for addressing homelessness. supervisor avalos and 7 accountability supervisors introduced the city local hiring ordinance about applied to all properties around san francisco and supervisor avalos and the same 7 supervisors introduced at the ordinance that would require first source hiring requirements for commercial projects to disclose to the city the principal positions for

so was the victim. fearing for his life and investigators say the victim handed over his wallet and cell phone and laptop before the second man punched the victim who landed on mcbride's steps. >> it makes us concerned of our safety for sure. >> some neighbors find the evidence so disturbing that they're now banding together to find crimes for the area. >> we are starting a neighborhood watch now. >> the attack took less than 40 seconds before the men ran off. by the time officers responded, police say the men had already jumped into a white four doors sedan and sped away. >> does it make you extra caution in the neighborhood now? >> for sure and being more alert. >> in san francisco, kron 4 news. >>> california has been rocked for more than 100 after shocks followed last night's 5. 1 earthquake. the largest after shock of the 4. 1 quake this afternoon. about ten minutes ago of a 3. 2 magnitude after shock. and as stacey butler reports dozens of people are looking for a place to stay after more than 30 homes and apartments were red tagged. >> this is my unit. >> trying to determine which home s to red tag. >> they say it is unsafe and i am going to my mother in law's. >> crews found no str

the land. they would sign treaties, stupid white people, they think they can own the land, sure, we'll sign, they give us coffee and tobacco and blankets, so, sure, you want to own the land? go ahead? only the great spirit can on the land, but, i don't, obviously, see how else it would work. i mean, i've been gsh i've been overseas, and when i'm not writing with tom, i'm a war correspondent. i've been to afghanistan, iraq, darfur, bosnia, and i see fights, and when religions' not involved, it is over land. there has to be a concept of land ownership unless we, you know, are attacked by aliens. you know what? that would be it. if the world came together like red cloud brought intertribes together, if the world came together, we'd need an outside force. i know that's probably not thee answer you were looking for, but i don't know how else to put it. >> i have to apologize, i have not read the book yet, but listening to your presentation, when you talk about the sioux, you mentioned the seven, but they divide up in three major divisions, the tea time being the backup, search subgroups from which red cloud is part of that, would be ogala, and

progressing towards the planning commission and the board of supervisors so when in your report planning commission will hear march 13 and go before the land use commission. keeping you up to date there's not a lot of change but i gave the url in case i want to look at. that the ballot water legislation you have should interest in it passed first reading at the full board of supervisors with whatever replacement language like the pride. this was a rally on the steps of city hall there as well. they're happy to move the legislation forward in supervisor chiu offices. the last word we heard from supervisor wiener regarding accident late night transportation hearing is the likely date will be march 31st so remains ten active >> today, we were informed it's pushed to the 31st. again, it's ate ten active date not subtle sure of i'm keeping you informed as we ignored >> steve had a conference report for its streamlining permits for building 12 at pier 70 and you might be familiar if you went to ghost ship or the ervin market it's the big huge pier 70 building that's been developed but for a city. so it's ansz ongoing process we'll likely involve som

but we guard our border peacefully and i'm afraid that the russian federation needs us to stay peaceful, so they can come in and take our land. and i ask the world not to allow that. that's my only request to the world. you know that yesterday, our military service men raised their banners, absolutely peacefully, without any guns, singing our anthem. they were approaching their enemies. and in fact, applying this peaceful nature they got back their territory. this is an example of how ukrainians fight today. i ask the world not to allow the blood of these peaceful people to be shed. >> you're watching "talk to al jazeera." more in a minute. you you. >> you're watching al jazeera. my guest is yulia tymoshenko, former ukrainian prime minister and a leader in the orange revolution. >> let me ask you about your role. you as prime minister were someone who did business with putin. he never supported your imprisonment, if i understand that correctly . do you feel that that in the past you were wrong to have dealt with putin perhaps trusted him, and more importantly, has this event exchanged your view of putin? what do you think of

acknowledge we have the bill of -- brights organization and all the people dealing with land issues and funding resources. we need you. so stick with us. i want to also give an acknowledgment to the mayor's office of disability who has poured an unprecedented amount of support. paul scott and brian strong. i want to say thank you to you and i want to lift up two different very important directors who have also come to the table when called. that's director mohammed and riskin. these are two very talented people and also staff. i want to lift you up. you did a remarkable job. you see the holiday bells, thank you very much to the puc. i also want to acknowledge the office of community development and grants program. you are lifting the community up and thank you. i know it's a long list. a grateful heart is a giving heart. thank you. invest in neighborhoods. the investment you are making with this merchant corridor is unparalleled and never been seen and i'm excited to be here with you. together we have made this renovation very possible and i also want to take a moment to acknowledge our wonderful funder. we wouldn't be here without yo

instead the wildlife services and partners are going to be trucking the salmon on land using tanker trucks. so any minute we'll see the first round of trucks coming down. they're going to be depositing half a million of these young salmon into net pens in the river to get reacclimated before they ship out to the ocean. now, we're seeing this because the drought has hindered the water levels for the sacramento river and for the delta system along the coast. so we're looking at about 30 million smults being transported this year. we've seen salmon trucked in the past. this is the first time to this extent. today a press conference saying this is imperative to the survival of the species. and this is herculean effort to make sure we don't have an issue when these salmon typically come up to reproduce. so 30 million salmon, we're looking at about $150,000 costs per week over the next two months. it's a fishy situation. back to you. >> we're not going to let that one go, morgan. we'll pay it back in time. that joke did not scale. on deck, microsoft's management changes getting love from the street.

us they are seeing military movement by russian forces into and out of the area. they are moving by land and by sea. this video apparently shows some of the dozen or so russian combat helicopters crossing the border into the ukraine today. sources tell us approximately 2,000 russian troops may have landed at a military base near the city. ukraine special representative described it as an armed invasion, an occupation. president obama issued this warning from the white house. >> just days after the world came to russia for the olympic games and would invite the condemnation of nations around the world. and indeed the united states will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in ukraine. >> the troops that took over two airports and the television station in cremlia russian ambassador to the u.n. appeared dismissive. >> is russia willing to militarily intervene in ukraine to achieve your political goals? [ laughter ] this is -- really, even the question is aggravating. >> rush sharks of course, sits on the security council and will veto any condemnation of its alleged actions in ukraine

to be at the beginning the discussion so i hope to continue to talk about whatever items come up and the more general hearing >> should the industry attend that hearing at land use? >> that's open right now and with supervisor wiener's office, i.e.. leaving it to him to tell us whether or not that would be beneficial. >> he'll let you know so you can let the industry know. >> that's correct. i want to remind you that the retreat is march 29 i hope y'all got the e-mail. we've secured some space at the battery that's actually going to be interesting. those of you remember we issued a permit it's entirely opened up to the public it will be an interesting meeting. we're working on catering for this but basically your whole morning. and the submit is april will 7 so i know that's a little bit into the future but again want you guys to put that on calendar if you plan to attend. i don't have any corrective actions to report, however, one item that came up today that i wanted to see if you guys would be so kind as to entertain a short presentation by sf heritage they called us today it ask if we would basically nominate the legacy barn program for a national award. are

so i want him to get the plane down to where people can breathe. and get us 180 back the other way so we can land tell me how this works. >> throttle title. we start deskrenl and a turn. i would be on the radio letting them know what's going on. >> i'm telling you a check list. >> of course. yes. one of them talking about the, both the brake, how fast we're going down. the idea is we have to get it down for passengers to breathe. we've got a limited amount of oxygen ourselves. i believe it is 15, 12 minutes. >> idea is to get below 10,000 feet so we can talk with air traffic control and assess the situation. that's the bottom line. >> we're now passing 28,000. >> i wouldn't be overspeeding the airplane. that's the danger of pulling it apart. but a rained decompression so there might be a hole in the aircraft. any overspeeding will worsen the problem. so you want to keep it within limits. overspeeding is saying you're pushing the aircraft so fast that it could have pieces of parts come off it. naturally if you've had some sort of explosion that caused this sudden decompression, you may have weaken

the owners of the land want to use it for redevelopment so there is a big push from the community tory to preserve the oldest of the three. state officials will meet to consider declaring century 21 historic. >> 6:42. baseball is back. a live interview with the giants broadcaster coming up ahead. >> shattered glass and busted windows as a driver slams into a cafe. >>> 6:44. we talk about baseball here. the giants 2014 season is officially here. the g-men play on the road taking on the diamondbacks in phoenix. >> but giants broadcaster mike krukow joins us live from phoenix. mike, you are a former player. you probably have memorable experiences when it comes to opening day. >> scott, i do. opening day is quite a big deal when you're a player. and you can't underestimate how much importance it is when you get it on that baseline you get introduced. there are some drawbacks because of every ceremony different teams do it differently. in my experience there have been times and my name was pronounced wrong. mike cracklow. the guy bufrperred that. another year they didn't introduce me. i d

the plaza. so the second one will be before you at the later date that concludes my report >> ms. rogers a clarification on land use an amendment was introduced or when the measure is being passed through the phone bill will allow the cc and are these to take prettiest depths it will be an rh1 zoning and the neighborhood has cc and rhythm and blues to any neighborhood not part of an association will not be included in the amendment. >> i thought the cc and russ johnson received to the neighborhood association but any private agreement already made and preklutz those capacity to include the unit will be a standing all the time and regardless if the law will allow the agreement it will still take affect. >> in the neighborhoods west of twaepdz there are a few neighborhoods that have cc and rs but i assume this legislation they not having protections in the other areas if they're not matter of an association. >> it won't allow the neighborhoods to be legalized in someone has a private agreement that agreement will still stand. >> thank you. thank you >> commissioners, if there's nothing further we'll move it on the ge

the next one hundred years. so this is the time to make sure we ask all the right questions to get the best possible land use transportation plan and strategy and ultimately projects that san francisco needs for to that end i'll finish where director martin luther started there's been a lot of great work done by the staff and consultants of the tjpa and caltrain and caltrans we're going to need outline those folks including the people too active and constructively engage in this process so it's worst our effort so we can achieve the important goals this process it for. we as the board some direct that and strongly encourage accountability staffs so thank for bringing this forward and thanks for putting this on the agenda it's the most important work we do on the board >> are there any other comments. in fun, i have some quick questions bach because of the terminology. so the stub i understand elevated freeway is what we see and i assume the stub what makes it a stub elevated freeway >> i think john can answer it. >> it's just the end of the freeway that's that. >> i was getting e-mails and innuendo what that meant. >> it g

the other allies working with us in the area. i do think that a week ago, if you had said, yeah, the plane was hijacked by a pilot and landed somewhere so they could use it another time, it would have sounded like something out of a hollywood proposal. unfortunately, that could end up being the reality. for the families, i feel bad for them because they're basically going to have to hang on and hopefully they can get some sort of information behind the scenes from the government. >> you bring up a good point, because it sounds so far fetched, almost, like an abc show, "lost." saying where does the plane go? did they land some place else? could they be alive? it's opening up doors and possibilities. >> i have tried for a week to suppress the desire to speculate. at this point, it's almost impossible. the closest thing this is like is like a missing child, but it's taken to a surveal level. it's a 300 ton missing person, and the globe is actually the neighborhood, and i think how can that happen? but ariel castro hid kids for ten years in the community. it's perhaps incredibly possible with a dark will to create dark deeds. it seems to me
