their costs of seismic retrofitting those are second in-law units those are units that are subordinate to the compared to other units in the building because of their location in the building and on the ground floor it is usually lower ceiling heights that may have side entrances and maybe less the exposure and this ordinance restricts the size of the units to be limited by the existing footprint in the building in the existing building therefore this creates a subordinate nature and therefore those units are known to be affordable by design because of the new units being built as supervisor scott wiener mentioned this is supported by many research academy research and looking at the rental prices on the rental listing on the websites and the specification of this ordinance is similar to the castro legislation before you a year ago that allowed for similar units it will require the units to be rent controlled in the existing building and provide administration waiver for certain planning code requirements for open space and rear yard and parking the planning department and planning com

and one hundred and 5 two bedroom unit unit and 99 studio units all of the unit were approved by the planning commission on may 1st, 2015 planning code section within the zoning district that the developer enters into an agreement to restrict the recommend for thirty years reduction of thirty percent in the amount of one dollar square feet only one other took advantage of those that concludes my presentation. >> colleagues i have representatives from rain tree and a i g with that are the property owners supervisor wiener. >> that was from green before. >> supervisor jane kim i want to appreciate you talking to me before this item i want to clarify for the public when i read this agreement over the weekend i was a little bit surprised to learn during the process a piece of the plan that loud the developers to reduce their inclusionary program for the insensitivetion of the neighborhood i wasn't around then but in today's market we don't have to provide any incentives for the building directors to build i hope you explain for the sake of the public a little bit of the backyard u backgr

at the conferences, the united states was there. the united states was often involved. think if they had been more formally involved, it would have made the league stronger and served to educate american public opinion. it by the 1930's, the united states was in the league, i wonder if you would have had the same isolationist sentiment. there was a lot of sentiment in europe for peace. a huge piece ballot in britain in the 1930's were happy adult population -- half of the adult population voted in favor of peace. that does not necessarily translate into being isolationist. the united states welded it into isolationism in a way that did not happen in europe, that you can want peace but still recognize you have to be engaged in the world. i don't know. it is very difficult. i think historians are now arguing that even in the 1930's, the united states was not as isolationist as we might think. there was a lot of talk, but the united states is still involved, particularly on its own doorstep. the good neighbor policy is a 1930's policy. united states was still very concerne

we call these units density bonus units. this is the redevelopment plan and the developer is proposing that six of the density units be affordable at 120 percent of medium income. you have seen 20 percent of medium income and this will be at 120 percent because that's what the d for d and redevelopment plan allow for. the remaining two 2 units will be at 80 percent bmi. let me get into what affordable unit is and allowing for density to increase for that if they increase the number of bmr units for projects. those additional bmr units do not account for so they have to be in addition to what was already required. so under the government code, the state density law, it captivates at 35 percent and provides a very specific formulae required number for additional units required. our shipyard redevelopment plan and d for d allow for density bonuses as well but lowers to 25 percent. you can't go under 35 percent for our framework. but the state density bonus law does allow for specificity for number of variations that are applied

3 original unit and the fourth unit where the sons live is the one that is probably not up to code again, i've never been in there it's appears to be an extension of the garage. >> we'll get clarification from the department. >> okay. thank you. >> okay. we'll hear from the permit holder. >> thank you, council for the permit holder we've stated in our papers all that the permit holder has been seeking to do is so see if this unit is legal shows entitled to do a property owner this is no one to say you have to wait for a notice of violation from 9 department of building inspection before you go proactively seek to find out if you're unit is in fact legal as we stated in our papers with the new ordinance that passes many fong was wondering what if anything the recommendation of an architect that inspected the premises and the architect indicated to her the unit currently referred to by the appellants was not, in fact legal and probably not up to code being that ms. functioning if not to violate the law any further didn't want to wait a notice of violation from the deniable she proactively

unit. this slide which is absolutely impossible to see on the screen. i'm sorry it's faded out. i hope you can see it in your packet is a cartoon of the four building types and again helps i hope will give you a sense of the variety and height and variety in building height from 2-4 stories. since there is such a diversity of unit plans, i'm just going to walk you through some of our typical unit plans for hillside. on the top of the page here we have a two bedroom over a shared garage. it's a 2 story bedroom unit of the garbage -- garage on that unit. the unit plan on the bottom of the page is a 3 story three bedroom town home located at grade that would appeal to a larger family and has the upgrades. on the left is what we are calling our skip stop units. these are units in a town home configuration that we design to respond to a very specific site constraint on hillside which are some of the sites that are backed up against the retaining wall that you might be able to see in this model.

unit. so a lot of units, a lot of unit types but i wanted to throw them all on one side so you can see them in context. there is six categories of inclusionary units. the middle 10 1/2 bmr to 22 percent of median income and catch up unit that are 80 percent income. you can see how they fall out on the project. the catch up units first appear in phase 2a and one of the density bonus units in median income appears as well. i won't go line byline but you can see how they are laid out from the 10 1/2 percent units to the right which are the density bonus units. >> phase 1a will meet the compliance of dda to 22 percent. i want the turn it over to mr. zubra to say a few words about the project. >> thank you. good afternoon, chair rows -- it's a unique site with 75 -foot from the bottom. we have tried to take advantage of the incredible views and where there are some imposing retaining walls where it would face those walls. we developed a skip type where every single unit will have a view out to t

what we see we review a lot of projects we see unit sizes are shrinking and smaller unit are a logical is response to a housing market that is an area not served and there notice way to position small unit without a doubt parking other than servicing e serving a population not getting anything delivered open the market this is a very sensible project in a constrained lot not about the merits of the project car free in a transient rich location one of the policy things that gets to us is that when we say that it is very, very difficult to build housing in san francisco and time consuming and risky on the day of hearing for entitlement one didn't know the deal it is subject to why fluks could be anything i've participated in housing recently and it is quite instructal to hear the members of the public say we've heard investors require 20 plus rates of return in residential housing in san francisco that's outrage how can be justified the uncertainty of the terms persists up to the entitlement we think that while we will prefer to see it onsite the option is perfectly norma logical reason

you units it is a balancing act between the number of units and the size of the unit who the fee we've not calculated the dentist scenarios but it is a balance between the fee and the size of the number of bedrooms. >> thank you and then question for the city attorney can the developer change their options after issuance wanted cu because a they've not chosen whether the units are rental or for sale can they change their option later. >> deputy city attorney susan there's a there's a complicated by switch up to the first construction document is issued always to the first person of occupancy but i'll have to look at the code. >> yeah. yeah. okay so i'm so sorry i'm trying to figure out what will work we want to see onsite i think there are unit that gets us more affordable housing dollars others mix that don't allow us to build a sufficient amount of affordable units and i want to make a motion but now. >> think about it. >> my only caution you can't condition our approval on whether or not it is onsite or off site. >> commissioner richards. >> i want to camp back to the continuance al

states, and we are producing more oil in the united states. let's take note of that. but the truth is, we are 5 million barrels a day short. so this pipeline will be moving may be 800,000 barrels of oil from canada to the united -- from canada through the united states and it is going to a tax-free export zone. so we know what is going to happen. why is that important? it is important because the export young men and women in uniform every single day over to the middle east to protect the ships with oil coming into the united states that we import from kuwait, from saudi arabia from the other countries around the world. so why would be -- why would we be exporting oil out of the united states while we are exporting men and women from out of america to protect oil coming back in from countries in the middle east? that makes no sense. that is what this pipeline is all about. it is about getting some benefits for the united states climate change, big loser. dirtiest oil in the world. the canadian -- they are actually paying the tax in the event t

in law units or dwelling units are the most affordable type of non subsidized housing and tend typically to be smaller on the ground level and they are typically older buildings and most of the infrastructure is already in place in the building and so it costs less to produce the unit than it does to create a new unit and they are dee centralized and spread out we're not talking about large numbers of units being placed in one location. as i note in various studies have demonstrated that these units tend to be much more affordable than other units studies out of uc berkeley and hud and aarp and of course there's no one solution to the housing crisis but in-law units and a more flexible approach to in-law units are 1 piece of the puzzle and this legislation allows owners of properties to add additional accessory dwelling units within the existing building envelope if they are participating in the city's established and well-defined mandatory or voluntary program and we're continuing to work with the department of building inspection to establish policies and guidelines to make it easy and

lives in the upper unit this is the lower unit as a back unit where ms. functions son lives a spare bedroom type of situation not a self-contained. >> it's not a kitchen. >> right >> thank you. >> mr. sanchez. >> thank you. good evening scott sanchez planning staff with a rh3 up to 3 dwelling units under initial review of our electronic records we're report i see a appropriate printout of is an unknown so no conclusion whether permits there was one in 2004 for roofing that is unreliable and the permit which is before you to remove the illegal unit that notes the number of units as two, that said the san born records to indicate two units the building construction date in our database says 19 hundred it is unknown because probable constructed around the earthquake and those records may have been lost in under the code certainly up to 3 twnlz of it was at the maximum decency it allows for the process code requirements can be waived so information i wanted to provide for the board no open enforcement case for this property i'll be happy to answer any questio

the supreme court case held that the child born in the united states of ianees immigrants from the united states. they could confer sit senship. that is not true of unauthorised children with a child. there are advantages of the role as it is understand. it's an easy role to administer. and facilitates facilitation by or into society and reduces the prospect of having an underclass which has been for a long period of time deprived of the rights for citizenship. is there a distinction to be made. someone that has a child in the united states, or gets a visa declares themselves versus someone who comes into the country across the sudden border and gives birth in a hospital in the south-west somewhere? >> there's a distinction about the 14th amendment and the context of the facilities. the operating word was discouraged. in the last immigration area this was a scixish. we have 40 million people, that abuse this privilege. obviously, if you have all numbers on this, it suggests that the numbers of foreigners that come here - it's a small number of people. it could remain steady. you could mak

units? >> the community benefits agreements for phase 1 includes a variety of things that are not clearly associated with each vertical development. they are sort of in addition to. the key development described for the project in terms of vertical are the open space. so the open space that's created adjacent to the lot. their community benefits programs that are existing and on going today so the construction assistance program, the cap program. >> will those be, because the 40 units are obviously going to bring more money to lanar. so what is, besides the obvious of the open space that obviously everyone is going to enjoy but what else is there? >> there is a community benefit agreement that lays out the groundwork that the developer has to pay for and divide. one is a small business program, that is three folks that assist small contractors with getting, not getting contracts but understanding the bids and helping them produce bids. that's a community benefit. the site office that is ther

housing crisis but in-law units and a more flexible approach to in-law units are 1 piece of the puzzle and this legislation allows owners of properties to add additional accessory dwelling units within the existing building envelope if they are participating in the city's established and well-defined mandatory or voluntary program and we're continuing to work with the department of building inspection to establish policies and guidelines to make it easy and as smooth as possible for people for people to be able to add these units within the confines of the building code and other codes. so colleagues i want to thank everyone who helped with this legislation and colleagues i ask for your support. >> okay. supervisor supervisor kim supervisor kim. >> thank you and i want to acknowledge supervisor wiener for his work on this legislation and i'm not going to bring up in this legislation today but just want to note for the future i do think it's important for us to create ways r ways for us to increase density and create new units in san francisco that being said as we provide this valuable

in the united states -- between the united states and britain. on the whole, it was germany that managed to enrage american public opinion much more than britain did. there were a number of reasons for this. the germans, increasingly as the war went on, allow their policy -- allowed their policy to be made by the military. the german military tended to see very much in terms of winning the war, and they tended to ignore or downplay political factors. you can see right at the beginning of the war, the germans for military reasons invaded the neutral country of belgium. whose neutrality had been guaranteed by a number of european states, including germany itself. so what germany is doing is breaking its own guarantee to belgium, invading a small country. the german invasion of belgium was going to help very significantly to tilt american opinion against germany. it outweighed the irritants of the british blockade, irritating though those were. increasingly, the american public began to see germany is something that had been dominated by militarists

one at the homicide unit.ne at einstein hospital involving a gunshot wound from what we understand from the gun battle that ensued. we do not have any further information there has been no official release of information by the police commissioner or anyone in the public affairs unit for the police department at this hour. all we're told we believe this is a 22nd police district officer. a young officer and that's all we're being told at this point. again, police officers continue to race here to the hospital. i see a couple coming up right behind me now. lights on as folks try to get here to support the family of the officer and the officer. top philadelphia police officials we're told are here at the hospital. i have not seen the mayor at this point but he may have come in another entrance that's why i wouldn't have seen him. normally he would be at the scene here and any kind of information would be released by the mayor and the police commissioner once that is available but again they may be waiting for fa

been protecting these units no longer apply because this unit is now a single family home. had the second unit been legal, the landlord would have had to seek permission to merge the 2 units prior to withdrawing the second /tpraoupbt the market. and since the second unit was illegal, she was able to use this loophole to remove this unit from the loophole and to now say that this unit where this individual has been living for more than 10 years is no longer protected by rent control. by raising the rent 400 percent and demanding a five figure securing deposit, the landlord is effectively evicting this tenant. there's no way this individual can pay that amount. this is essentially an eviction. as we look at this tragic situation, i have asked the city attorney to draft a possible legislation to address this loophole including, not only a legislative fix here at city hall but also to look at whether or not the city can legally intervene including the action to prevent this individual from leaving this unit that is rent controlled. take the meaningful action to address the wide

units if someone builds a micro unit. >> inclusionary applies to dwelling units and depended on if their micro sro's. >> to group housing or versus dwellings. >> is group housing fairly limited. >> it is fairly widely permissible in month district it would be conditional use authorization. >> i mean i'm supportive of supervisor campos it is a bit of a loophole b so i'm glad that is being closed in the in kind agreement that is coming up we had this issue on ralph and talked about that similar to what we discussed making the alley. >> in the same gist to figure out the improvements for in kind they can use their general impact fees they have a process to trail this if we agree it is it is in place can provide portions of the fees towards the improvements. >> i'd like to follow-up on this group housing conversation i'm supportive of the no idea of inclusionary for go up housing group housing the definition is about unit not having a kitchen those units have burners and mike waves but the definitions speaks to group living so maybe the project sponsor can talk about the opportunities for co

is threatening not to do that. >> that is a great point, the united states at the united nations may say these resolutions could go forward. other than bad publicity how does that hurt, there are people in the united states, certainly in israel and other countries that don't pay much attention to the united nations. >> there is some element of truth to that but publicity certainly is important. the reputation that israel has in the world is important. it cannot become a pariah nation which its enemies see, that's what united states can block at the united nations, passing resolution that unilateral ly pass resolutions, to refer to international criminal court or all sorts of things could be done. >> isn't israel already a pariah state? half of the resolutions in the united nations seem to conindex israel according to some reports. it's not like the relationship is getting any better with the rest of the world right? >> well, there's no question that other states in the united states don't recognize israel's right to exist. actually the reality is that states like saudi arabia and egy

states and work in the united states rather than returning to iraq. work as aand got research professor at the university of missouri, became an integral part of the columbia community. he and his wife ultimately had five children, all of them american-born u.s. citizens. the problem is beginning of the early 1990's, for the next decade, he had numerous family member still in iraq, including 11 siblings, along with his elderly mother who was blind. millions ofs and iraqis, his family members were not just suffering great deprivation, although they were, they were literally on the boundary of starvation, typically unable to feed themselves in any way that provides major sustenance. this is incredibly common among the regime sanctions. although he was earning a modest salary, he simply could not in good conscious live even what was really a lower middle-class american existence with some discretionary funds while his family was suffering so greatly in iraq. he began to find ways to send very small amount of money back to his family in a rack, but a -- l

and pass on the lessons they had learned in the ranger training to their units. it is small unit training, making sure a soldier knows how to read a map, knows how to defend himself with small arms and weapons, knowing how to defend himself if he has no weapons, hand-to-hand fighting and so on. again we're stressing every , possible aspect a soldier might experience on the battlefield. it's a grueling course, very hard. you are deprived of sleep, deprived of food in order to see how you will measure up if your supplies are cut off during the course of battle. >> you are receiving fire. you cannot run 500 meters in the wide open. >> it's very important that a soldier be prepared mentally and physically to go into combat and ranger school is one of the best training devices the army has to make sure the soldier is tough enough and strong enough to experience combat and survive and bring his men home alive. today, fort benning is called the maneuver center of excellence. we not only train united states infantry soldiers, we train armor soldiers and scouts and so on.

president 83% of the victims in the united states are from the united states. it is not just girls at the bottom of a ship which does happen. it is girls right in our country country. girls right in minnesota on the streets of rochester where just in the last few months we had a 12-year-old girl that got a text invited to a party showed up at a mcdonald's parking lot where she was supposed to go, a guy puts her in a car takes her up to the twin cities, rapes her, takes sexually explicit pictures of her puts them on the internet. the next day she's sold on craig's list to two other men and raped. that happened in minnesota. that man has now been indicted by the u.s. attorney's office but we have seen these cases over and over again. and people say well, why is this getting worse? why is the senate debating this issue right now? well, it is because as much as we love the internet, we also know that it's provided a vehicle for this kind of activity that is much easier for people to do behind closed doors doors, that no one notices and to basically get these young

into the united states anymore? if you can just get into the country unlawfully, then you have a right to work? and former attorney general -- still attorney general eric holder said they have a civil right to citizenship. what? so this is not law. i don't know what this is, but it's so far from law, i don't know how to express my concern about it effectively. so it's unprecedented that for someone who is seeking the highest law enforcement office in america to declare that someone in this country illegally has a right to this kind of job. make no mistake, we are at a dangerous time in our nation's history, particularly for our republic legal system and our constitution. and i would like to quote now from professor jonathan turley. this is a professor of public interest law at george washington university law school a nationally recognized constitutional scholar a self-described supporter of president obama and most of his policies and who has been called by senator leahy and others over the years as expert witness

at the conferences, the united states was there. the united states was often involved. i think if they had been more formally involved, it would have made the league stronger and served to educate american public opinion. it by the 1930's, the united states was in the league, i wonder if you would have had the same isolationist sentiment. there was a lot of sentiment in europe for peace. there was a huge peace ballot in britain in the 1930's were happy adult population -- half of the adult population voted in favor of peace. that does not necessarily translate into being isolationist. the united states welded it into isolationism in a way that did not happen in europe, that you can want peace but still recognize you have to be engaged in the world. i don't know. it is very difficult. i think historians are now arguing that even in the 1930's, the united states was not as isolationist as we might think. there was a lot of talk, but the united states is still involved, particularly on its own doorstep. the good neighbor policy is a 1930's policy. the united states was sti

average expenditures for unit by population not by per person; right? so the sites are the highest but if you change this to do it by individual i'll imagine it is quite a bit less. >> yes. in the next slide. >> sorry. >> we're looking at the support services expenditures you see the family only sites are a lower per unit services per expenditure a larger number of residents per housing. >> so while annual budget expenditures important the master unit reflect the costs in the city for the support of housing oh, i'm sorry no reflect all the costs in the support of the annual budget expenditures for the unit don't reflect the public financial cost we did a case study looking at two sites and a.m. tilsz it over thirty years to get a sense of the impact development costs those are equal to $11,000 per unit for each development so without that including the development costs the average costs are compatible between the master and other unit but once it greatly increases the annual costs to over $20,000 per unit. >> first of all, that's a great statistic data

states, the united nations.er as a journalist, moved by the harrowing images of prisoners in concentration camps. i traveled to the balkans recovered the horrors of the war in which kids were picked off their bicycles by snipers. bosnian muslim women were systematically raped, and some 8000 unarmed men and boys were murdered in the largest massacre in europe since world war ii. i also saw the citizens of bosnia look in false hope to u.n. peacekeepers to protect them. in the end they found rescue only from the u.s.-led coalition that finally intervened to stop the slaughter. [applause] i was chilled by what i saw, and chilled equally by the slowness of the world response. i didn't understand how the world could save we have learned -- could say we had learned the lessons of the holocaust, and never again, only to witness sergey pfau, the rwandan genocide, and so much more. those questions with the epic this behind my first trip to israel nearly two decades ago. so much of what i saw there left an enduring impress

to egypt back to the united states. is he in jail now? is he out on bail? what's going on? >> reporter: that's right. he's behind bars and expected to face a judge and plead not guilty according to his attorney sometime tomorrow. so authorities arrested him the day after he returned on u.s. soil in new jersey. he was a resident of new jersey apparently. we know he did live overseas for a period of time. he lived in kuwait. in kuwait he was an airplane mechanic. he also apparently lived in egypt for an amount of time. but the bottom line is this is a u.s. citizen who was in the united states air force and was an aviations mechanic here in the u.s. and overseas, wolf. >> very disturbing development. we'll stay on top of it. pamela brown, thank you. >>> other important news we're following, election day in israel will the prime minister benjamin netanyahu survive a very tough challenge or will his main rival prevail and what will the outcome of the election mean both in israel as well as here in the united states indeed ar

the united states -- the united states was the one territory in the world in which plentiful labor existed. in the area's work cotton is grown. it is forcefully removed and workers were forcefully moved in. they need one million of the more forceful in moved in. they descended on the north american countries. planters could then, of nature and the organization of work as they wish. such a rapid increase in land, infected anywhere else in the world. when the british try to increase cotton production for export in india which also began to control in the 1820s they largely failed and the project. production in other parts of the world such as the west indies and brazil and the ottoman empire. not european factory and is and statesmen had a preference or that cotton could not be secured from this part of the world but they lack that this point administrative, legal and military infrastructure capacity. to the degree that they required in the face of the powerful social and political structure such as the ottoman empire. and when the british economist john danson considered in 1857 the connect

the pacific was going to be part of the united states. we were going to go across the continent in time. 1783, the war came to an end and suddenly there were 17 of england's 32 colonies that were no longer british. the people had very strong prejudices against people and other colonies. indeed, the man who drafted the united states constitution and owned the south bronx, his father's will provided any amount of money necessary to educate him anywhere in the world except for the colony of connecticut, where the people hide behind god, but are really abolitionist criminals. he did not use the word criminals, but it was that kind of prejudice. you can imagine the attitude that new englanders had towards southerners and southerners had toward new england. what held the united states together after 1783? it was very fragile, believe me. a national debt. $25 million. a common language. and the pride in having defeated the strongest military, and especially naval, power in the world. well, from where was congress going to govern this country? we

back at the united nations. we are living in an era when anti-semitism is searching. we should -- is surging. we should all be discouraged. we saw rallies in paris where protesters marched on a synagogue saying " jews to the oven." we see congregants forced to walk through metal detectors to enter their synagogue. we have seen murders. the attack on the jewish school in to lose -- jewish school in toulouse. then there are the signs that we cannot see, but are no less chilling. jews thinking twice before shopping in a kosher supermarket. in 2004, all 55 countries in the organization for security and cooperation in europe convened in berlin to make an historic pledge to combat all forms of anti-semitism. when the countries reassembled last year, president obama asked me to lead the presidential delegation to the meeting. what i told the leaders gathered there is what you are you know. anti-somatic attacks are not only an attack to the jewish community, but the european liberalism and pluralism. i told the european

the catch up units, do we know what type of units this would be? >> that's a question we have been in discussion a lot with the developer. we don't quite know. they have provided a very rough sense. your son -- conceptual design has information about the building with the square footage. those catch up units as stated will be on average 700 square feet per unit whether it's one or two bedrooms that remains to be determined. i would like them to come up and talk about their design process and what some of their early thinking is on the catch up units. >> brian lanar, urban. what we are, we didn't want to go ahead and start planning out the rest of the site. it's pretty important to the rest of the site to know that we are going to have the height and open space development modification before we start moving forward. we felt comfortable with the first phase moving but it's almost right after this, we'll start moving forward with the design on that and hopefully be here in the next few months. until then it's such a tricky site, it's hard to come up

the united states [ inaudible ] preworld war europe and now this country, also the united states is about almost all of the gains it has and russia is going to reverse what it has lost, the soviet empire, in cold war. this is incredibly dramatic and tragic situation which has been getting lots of attention but not quite enough of a reaction. i think that's the lack of reaction or adequate reaction that is basically causing all this tragedy. >> you and i have talked and i have listened to your theories on soft power smart power, over the course of years. i do not understand at this point why there has been an inability on the part of the ukrainian government to engage germany france the united states the united kingdom and to bring forward a commitment to defend the country against clear outright aggression. >> well, because there has been lots of officials in the west saying well, we are living in 21st century, cold war is over tanks will never roll into europe. here we are in 2015 and russian tanks are rolling into europe into largest country of europe unchecked and actually, the weaknes

you united states united states criticized israel. in 1972 prime minister cher own launched defensive shield. the united states demanded that usa would withdraw its troops, but sharon continued until the operation was completed. there is a reason why i mention all these. i mention them to make a point. despite occasional disagreements, the friendship between america and israel grew stronger and stronger decade after decade. [applause] and our friendship will weather the current disagreement as well to grow even stronger in the future. i'll tell you why because we share the same dreams, because we pray and hope and aspire for that same better world because the values that unite us are much stronger than the differences that divide us.
