We are going to bring in buck devanthal. Do we need two audits or one audit . This is a really important piece of legislation. It was a two minute conversation. We explained everything to buck, he looked at the deputy City Attorney and said i think one audit is enough, due process will be served. It changed the entire dynamic of the legislation. I knew this was the person who said when we have to do internal review, we will get back, i knew they were talking about buck. I can tell you thousands of people will be impacted by that legislation.

They totally changed the design. They probably went a bit lower, and that caused them issues with the nextdoor neighbors. And i dont know how theyd done their work, but it wasnt in the normal manner. So add to the problem, everything was sand, so youre in the part of the city thats sand, so you know, youve got to be careful when youre doing this work.

Their engineer is a really good engineer. Hes be ive talked with him a couple of times. Hes been in to
To satisfy the legislation on the code, we pushed the number of twobedrooms and threebedrooms above the 40 percent minimum. And if you are to count the one bedrooms plus dens that we are also providing which is a new unit type we were able to provide by eliminating a substantial number of studios while maintaining the total unit count, we would be at a45 percent of our total units that would have twos and threes. The team is committed and we have repeatedly shared this as part of our outreach to ensuring that the housing that we are delivering is completely accessible. We recognize that the district is a very diverse district. Its a multilingual district. And in recognition of that have committed to posting workshops leading up the one year leading up to the opening of the building, every month, to assist with local residents who would like to enroll and apply in the bmr program to have their applications interpreted and translated and submitted to ensure access to the housing that we
Is usually included by, excuse me by the permit holder. I didnt see that either. Lastly in the last page of their submission they show various sites that they attempted to look out, i presume, but they provide very Little Information there.

I need to see these things before i make a final decision. I would be happy to respond. My understanding, the first item you brought up was our compliance with the Design Guidelines and preservation review. Did i understand that correctly . Historical review. I can respond to that. This is not within the webster street historic district. It is immediately adjacent to the district which was established in 1981. This property was not included. It is a category d building for our preservation standards. Included in the report is a ceqa exemption which is signed by our Historic Preservat

Before i introduce our moderator, who is back by popular demand, i will give a very brief Supreme Court update. Last term, my colleagues won two more Supreme Court victories for our clients we directly represent. We were especially excited about our win last june in nick vs. Overruledship, which a terrible 30 year precedent which prevented Property Rights owners from suing in federal court when the state and local governments took their property.

The format for todays program is as follows. After introductions, our distinguished Supreme Court advocates will dis
