unit so if someone removes a illegal third non-conforming unit but the removal of an illegal unit is not conforming to the policy we have applied a hearing a discretionary review authorization florida their removing an illegal unit with the response to the mayor's office distinctive to try to preserve housing weight look at ways to legalize those units but in this case that doesn't trigger. >> can i ask again, if you remove a third an illegal unit where there are 3 legal units or 3 units. >> correct so if the building contains 3 unit then removal of an illegal unit. >> a fourth unit. >> if you want to remove one unit we'll require a mandatory hearing one of the reasons there's a break in the building code requirement if i have 3 or more unit there's a standard for safety requirements so somebody has a two unit building with a third illegal unit it's much anymore difficult to legalize the third or fourth or first for existing that's the break in there so it's a nuance so again, this would otherwise not require a mandatory hearing but given there's a b b n the appellant gets the notice

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 ground floor. in fact the housing inspectors findings says the housing unit maybe a legal conforming unit

i'm sorry in the separate units versus the marked unit. the accessories record has an error. the correct count for bedroom count for the each of the exist single units is one bedroom per unit the proposed bedroom is two bedrooms so the project provides more bedrooms in each individual units. based on the staff review it's anothers departments recommendation that the commission take discretionary review and disapprove the property merger. the project will result in a net loss of one dwelling unit from the city's housing stock and replies them with a less affordable house and the r m-1 allows 3 zoning units and the proposed loss of the dwelling unit is contrary to the mayor inclusive including the naturally affordable unify u units and the housing affordability creates a exceptional circumstance such that existing dwelling units should be preserved that concludes my presentation. if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> thank you project sponsor. >> good evening. i'm aaron he miller owner jennifer johnson i have printouts o

in all of the city sponsored units. those are also in our inclusionary program our affordable housing programs all of our affordable housing cop and certificate holders get the first preference. what we do we give ellis act housing preference holders that come after the cop program or other cites specific preferences that will come after those and before the general population or the san francisco residents. we - the board of supervisors and the christmasing committee that put together the eligibility requirements recognizes that someone who moved into a unit their rents were high enough and probably able to make it in the market but people that have been in the unit for a longer are the ones targeted. so the program is that you have to have been in your unit for 10 years. we will also will allow you to be in the units years if you're disabled or have a doctor illnesses so it's for folks that a significa a significant impediment >> so this year we implemented the program in april of this year and went back to 2012 we we

for them different insurance terms applies to the unit itself so rental in those units is complicated in not enforceable i've called my insurance company telling me me i was trying to do it and they said no way. i was insured with hoa that is a large and reputable they don't have a model they spoke to the national industry and started to discuss it would be a way to consider it. i ask the supervisor to please further provide answers because we don't all of a sudden shift to one insurance company that might take on the burn in this particular setting. the other questioning question i raised it hotel rooms stipulate maximum occupancy the hotel rooms have existing diagrams and hotel rooms post costs per day, etc. if a unit is rented under similar terms as a hotel what particular part of the code could kick in when it comes to live safety and existing requirements and fire insurance, the presence even if carbon monoxide and smoke dethe courses within the room there's a discussion with dbi the fire department, the public health department to give minimal guidance to what's required in addi

do we have a united opposition? do we have a united war in syria?he fact is that the army in new and the security establishment of syria still are relatively united. compare syria with iraq. a problem today with iraq. the u.s. made the big mistake to dissolve iraqi security system at the beginning. for ten years the u.s. invested billions of dollars some to educate or to train or to organize a new army and security system. and you see that the army is weak today to confront its 1,000, 2,000 insurgents. this is the failure of the u.s. but i think the iranians are wise enough to support assad and his government to prevent the collapse of army and security establishment. no one knows what is going to happen after environmental issues. one, i think on weapons of mass destruction in the middle east, the only realistic major success has been dismantling have cyrian chemical weapons. we don't have anything else. and this is only and only because of trilateral cooperation between tehran washington and moscow. therefore, you can see if there is real cooperat

to a planning permit or either way the landlord has to have the unit empty the removal of that unit renders it unhabitualable. so i guess my final point is whichever procedure it determined the actual intent of my client is to remove that unit from housing use >> question why now. >> what triggered it. >> i pointed out this in my brief there have been several complaints made by lack of use in the building there are in that specific unit. my client was tried to he'd that and been unsuccessful and, in fact, the last notification from any folks were from pg&e when they established the unit at the request of the tenant and certified it didn't meet their standards. my client because of the configuration of the building being one legal residential unit above the commercial space simply to get even though heating that will satisfy pg&e and the planning code it is going to cost a minimum of $10,000 or more my client was determined given the recent series of events it is simply impractical to keep that unit as a residential unit that's why he's determined he wants to legalize that unit but a

the united states or in europe.made the decision to travel to syria or that broader region, taken up arms alongside isil. they pose a threat because they have received military training, they're now battle hardened and they've displayed a willingness to risk their lives for their cause. they have western passports. that does give them some freedom of movement that could allow them to come back to the west and carry out acts of violence. that is why the united states, in conjunction with our partners, our other allied countries of othurs, have been monitoring the situation, tracking the movement of these individuals. interpol is involved in this effort. there are also countries in the region that have been supportive of the efforts of the united states and our allies to monitor the situation. the united states is always making adjustments to counterterrorism measures. you know, some of those measures are seen and some of those are unseen. we talk about this typically when it comes to aviation security. but it is true

either additional space within the unit or the unit themselves for a certain period of time. so anyone who any situation where there's not a resident in place would be violation of the ordinance. in the a step to address the problem about losing elementary rental units they'll be in violation. i have a few thoughts on the parts of proposal. i don't think anyone disagrees with the residents is 2 hundred and 75 days a year nobody has any arguments that's a reasonable thing. the register i think has to be with the city there has to be an assignment of the money and an address but this should remain confidential and lots of things we file with government like tax returns they know where we are and if we're in violation they know where to get us this could be the is that you and wanting to complaint about a particular property they'll look at the address and check the residents 0 and we don't have to have everyone's names. another issue not discussed today but mentioned in the legislation who may sue and who may not sue. cities are going down the wrong road. there are laws and the

also you can consider that there's an incentive also to for tenants to try to sub letting their units and take advantage of things. so this is my discern there could be public harm to future renters and to current tenants and landlords. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker >> hi optimum david a you figure out generation san franciscan my kids work and live in the city and i have grandkids that has nothing to do with anything laura. i'm the former president of the twin peaks council and our neighborhood opposes this legislation there is no sharing it's taking no new wealthy unless your two of the following groups. rb and b stakeholders win and they've have the inconveniences of the neighborhoods coming and obligate with the strrlgz this is not the planning department how it's worked the zoning changes the planning department would host commercial districts and treason comments by other stakeholders then the department comes up with a proposal for on the area this has not been done if this is to be considered. this is not fair and not open and a pay out for a few it has usage conseq

without the united states, the war would not have ended and we certainly turned the tide. >> united states was involved from the very beginning, whether it was economic, providing arms for the allies, whether it is volunteers going to europe to the red cross. you have americans following what is happening in the war. the immigrant communities have a clear connection in terms of their relatives and immediate family members. when the united states got involved formally in the war in the spring of 1917, it wasn't as if this was suddenly thrust upon the american people. their questions and issues that americans had been confronting and debating for quite some time. trying to mobilize the american population was a different story. that is where major wilson becomes important in how he framed the war as -- woodrow wilson becomes important in how he framed the war. he tapped into the democratic idealism of the united states and was quite effective in terms of mobilizing a country that was wholly unprepared for war. united states and one of the smallest standing armies in the world. the time the w

now the president of the united states had a duty to act, and he did act. he may not have done the most effective thing, clearly this plumbers unit went astray. they became lawbreakers. they were caught in a miserable crime out there in california, but there's absolutely no evidence that the president knew anything about the planning of that in advance. i respectfully submit that the president did try his, according to his best judgment, to protect the national security of this country. and the mere fact that he didn't do it perfectly and got a inexperienced group in there who certainly botched the job and were a great discredit to our country in every respect, that does not mean that he was guilty of a high crime or misdemeanor for which he should be impeached. and that is the only basis, seems to me under the constitution under which we can find him impeachable. i yield back the balance of my time. i yield my remaining time to ohio, if i may. >> the gentleman from ohio is out of the time from the gentleman of iowa expired. the gentleman from new jersey, m

uniting the iranian people.i think that's almost certain the short term it would create a rally around the flag effect. the other thing we know about it is they tend to be relatively short-lived and many people understand avesta policy much better than me from a u.s. military strategy and national security strategy point of view that those who know domestic politics very well say the long-term it will create opportunities for operation figures to criticize the government for mismanaging the problem to this point that led to an armed attack on the country that led to iran having its nuclear program destroyed and the other thing i would point out is we can't just look at the cost on one side the cost someone stuck a village or the other. we have to compare them so one of the things said in the book is say what does acquiring nuclear weapons due to domestic politics? it allows them to differ for an attack and make the argument to domestic publics that they steer the ship of state in the international crisis maintai

the united states, not israel, not egypt, the united states forced elections in 2006 in gaza. president bush and secretary rice thought this would be a wonderful thing. it was a terrible thing. he was right in saying it weakened the palestinian authority. which does want to seek a two-state solution. ambassador erakat supports them. i'm a washington speech writer, i don't think i would use that phrase in public, though. if your goal is to label hamas as the terrorists they are, but then also to label president abbas and the palestinian authority as people with whom we can do business, probably not helpful to say that they've been weakened. probably accurate, but probably not helpful. >> would you agree with that, david gergen? he was wrapping up his answer, then there was a pause and he said what he thought. >> i don't have any problem with that. he was pleased and not surprised. i was not surprised by the lats louisiana part. the palestinian authority has been weakened. that's been the whole argument that this conflict has hurt the moderates on both sides. in israel the hard-

do we have united opposition? do we have the united -- in syria? the fact is when the army in the security establishments of syria still are powerful, relatively united. compare syria with iraq. what is the problem today with iraq? the u.s. made a big mistake to dissolve iraqi security system at the beginning. for 10 years the u.s. invested billions of dollars to educate or to train or to organize a new security system in iraq and you see that the army is weak today to confront the 1000 or 2000 insurgents. this is the failure of the u.s.. but i think iranians were wise enough to support a side and his government to prevent the collapse of army and security establishments in syria because no one knows what's going to happen after. on environmental issues. one. i think on weapons of mass distraction for the last 30 or 40 years, the only realistic major success has been the dismantling of syrian chemical weapons. we don't have anything else and this is only because of trilateral cooperation between tehran, washington and us. therefore you can see if t

the deadly ebola virus is now in the united states. one of two americans infected with the virus in liberia arrived today in atlanta for treatment. the second will arrive in a few days. now, health officials say the deadly outbreak has already killed more than 700 people in africa. with me now, infectious disease specialist dr. bob arnott. you are known as dr. danger. you provide humanitarian relief in some of the poorest areas of the world. first handled experience with ebola. now, what everyone wants to know. is there a risk to americans in bringing these infected medical personnel to the united states? >> well, great question. this is a great team. the cdc, emory university, great ambulance service. so the risk is very low but it is not zero. remember, there was a south african man who was taken to south africa. he infected a nurse and the nurse died. the interesting thing is did they need to bring him here? he walked out of the ambulance. this was not a gravely ill individual. the fact is he could have been treated in africa. when

if not the united states. some of the rhetoric has occasionally talked about the united states. it is not central to what they are doing. there are a lot of ways this could turn into a longer engagement. they is been firm on no boots on the ground. no boots on ground. and there the question is in terms of whether this can work, can the kurdish forces hold together? one of the other reasons for action this week is there was a terrible crisis of morale and they were pulling back. and can they get their act together and it hasn't happened yet? gwen: i wonder if you put faces on the story whether this doesn't change public opinion or one of those things that foreign policy never works for you? >> there is really no cohesive strategy here. it is one thing to say the united states this is our role in the world and this is what we are going to do, i'm president i laid this out and here is my strategy going forward. that has never been put to the american public. it does look as scatter shot as it feels. the reason the president's approval rating is 36% in foreign affairs for people tha
