groundful use to groundful use so this legislation is to correct that mistake that had come about given the code clean up legislation the board passed and this only applies to district 4. i thank land use for their support and ask my colleagues to support this as well >> supervisor avalos >> i understand where the zoning controls come from and typically i would like to differ to the supervisor for the district but across san francisco how mcd's are sited are not done in a way that wurg frz the entire sitee. zee piece meal approach to it especially how the green zeen is created. the green zone we have legislation in 2005. the mkd is concentrated on the east side in san francisco and fewer on the west side. i am trying to assert the mcd should be available to nob [inaudible]. i haven't proposed out right ban in district 11 which many of my residence called for mpt i did establish conditional use controls for new mcd's only when they are proposed within 500 feet of a existing mcd. i wasn't looking to create a out right strong hurdle against that conditional use does allow, does provide. so, what i was looking at doing and had the planning department study is how to re-create our laws

so europe needs more land per head to satisfy its own consumer demand than any other continent. this leaves the land outside of europe unavailable for use in the countries were it is located. the high living standard in europe causes soil depletion elsewhere. hubert weiger: the basic message here is that we have to preserve land, not just as a means of subsistence, but also maintain it. we have to put an end to the worldwide destruction of farmland in the interests of our own survival. >> the consequences of that destruction are easy enough to see. dry, cracked and barren soil: when the ground suffers, the plants, people and animals which depend upon it suffer too. soil is one of nature's most complex ecosystems, containing a plethora of different organisms, all interacting together to make life possible. that ecosystem is now under threat the world over. all over the world, farmers with fields on hillsides have to struggle with water erosion. they clear trees to gain space to plant crops and graze livestock. but with the tree roots gone, there's nothing to keep the rain from washing the topsoil away, the most fertile layer. this proces

having to get a massage establishment permit for having massage as an ak accessory use and removed the manicurist as defined in chapter 3 but i just wanted to bring to your attention -- in the land use committee which was held on on may 4th, both pieces of legislation, the health code and the planning code were heard, and at the time of the meeting, supervisor weiner had decided to file for the planning code to continue on some amendments. he has since decided he's going to reintroduce new legislation for the amendment and i want to highlight what he is thinking about and if you turn to page 3 of of the document. so -- and i want to make sure that the nuances of this may not necessarily be as verbatim as i say it just because certain things still need to be worked out but the intent of what he plans to change is to deal with the solo practitioners who colocate with chiropractors and acupuncturists and completed and find a means to allow massage establishments and he specifically requested that the department come back to him with a means of how to incorporate the massage establishments into the cb 3 program making them eligible for that and then to amend the definition of servic

land. they came to ohio, and then they followed the shawnee, and they went west and got indian land in kansas. it haunts us to this day because i'm convinced it's not just a story about the past, it's a story about what it's like to live in these huge democracies where we all want to fulfill our dream cans but we seem to -- our dreams, but we seem to only fulfill them at the expense of somebody else, and however do we live side by side with each other, not ruining somebody else's life? .. it troubles me to this day. what makes american history so challenging to write is not know the fact that stores that's only people have been forgotten even when all the threats of the past drawn out against the past of time are woven together, tragedy remains. that's something of a group of people like the delaware, seneca, shawnee and wyandotte gives rise to the triumph ofpeopleik another like the millions of farmers townspeople come immigrants, city dwellers who felt that the land in ohio lefte were behind by the tribes. we have figured out a way for all americans to live side-by-side person personal dreams for a bette

into law after the hearings of the citizens they've found the state realized it is important to return the land use and regulatory controls for massage establishment that's why we're here today so in 2015 that's why i have proposed academies to codify some of the changes through ab 1147 in support more short for the health care provisions i'll go over highlights the city health code the permit for establishment employing all c a mp c athletes if you're employing them you'll be required to get a business permit the reason as i mentioned there are many businesses not in either system we need to be able to capture all of that, and, secondly two the exempt from the certificates we're thirdly requiring multi lingual education and the changes are actually based on input into the sex workers and stockholders for example, the permits and certificates are not required to be dated pub, however made to be available upon investigation by the an inspector under state law and with removing the provision where the potential for denial of permit only if you're convicted with concern crimes not charged with them an

commission for their review and approval but they'll ultimately have to go correct to the board of supervisors >> land use commission. >> sorry the land use commission it didn't become law until it goes to the board of supervisors correct so we have multiple places in the process to address this issue of times as i said we hear loud and clear the need to have ample time to review legislation and they've been changes that are made it is completely reasonable to ask for time to review and said how that might effect you as you comment on that so we support that particular request i want to clarify one issue that came up in public comment if we're no order if i can ask for a clarification. >> absolutely this is your time to continue to ask questions clarifying questions and make comments. >> i said this may seem circle last year, i apologize it is tedious sometimes but the question was amnesty for the existing practitioners in areas that explicitly prohibit massage if you're currently operating but you're in a zone or geography that explicitly prohibited massage what's the amnesty position how do you deal wit

additionally, we are going to allow outline businesses to continue to operate as they apply with the exemption for a permit and the land use controls only apply to new businesses i want to stress those requirements are not new arrangement or requirement requirements in place we're looking at removing the c m ac exemption i'll talk about later in the presentation in addition that adds enforcement mechanisms to strengthen our legislation so this slide gives us a picture of the current massage businesses in san francisco we currently have 20036 massage establishment operating in san francisco 90 of those have opened in the past 5 years. >> i'm sorry. >> we know of 200 and 36 hundred and 46 permitted by the department of public health, 90 have the exemption we reprobably have 60 to 90 other establishment operating with no business licenses at all so the cf exempt establishment have no permit from the duplicate and no zoning district controls this is a couple of problems one thirty to 50 percent the businesses are illicit and up for human trafficking it is one of the faster growing crimes in the world and 43 percent of state hu
