Inclusionary requirement has always explicitly included Group Housing. But at many point, the Planning Department made an unofficial determination that Group Housing was not subject to the Inclusionary Housing Program. However, this determination was never formalized in a written Zoning Administrator determination, which could have been appealed to the board of appeals. Therefore, we only recently became aware of this unofficial policy. And recently developed and proposed a number of marketrate Group Housing projects that have brought to light the fact that the Planning Department is currently not requiring them to comply with Inclusionary Housing Program. So this ordinance clarifies that the Planning Department is to follow the original language of the Inclusionary Housing Program, and apply it to Group Housing. I believe we have staff, who are also here from the Planning Department to present. And i believe we also have some amendments that i believe you will be prepared to talk abou
The Planning Department doesnt do very well by conditional uses without standards. We have had that at the Planning Commission, and its on thursday and the last hearing Planning Commission said explicitly 899 valencia needs to be broke up into three storefronts. It was intentional. And the staff ignored the Planning Commission, and they came in with a proposal to have one massive storefront. The people from valencia street, that were merchants were freaking out at the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission did the thing and said no to cmpmc and they couldnt wipe out the entire storefront of that part of very valencia street. We need specific standards for 24th street. I dont see where there is any problem at all. Thank you. Thank you. Members of the board, my name is miguel bustos. I am a member of calle 24.

As i said many times before, 60 of the San Francisco residents qualify for Affordable Housing in the city. The board intended this program to apply to all units built, and explicitly stated that Group Housing was one of the types of housing which should apply under the inclusionary ordinance. It only became clear as supervisor avalos mentioned, to our office last year, that the Planning Department has been interpreting this ordinance differently because of a difference in how dwelling units are interpreted versus housesing units. And because Group Housing is not considered under the umbrella of dwelling units, the Zoning Administrator has therefore been interpreting our ordinance as excluding Group Housing from the policy. This cleanup legislation just explicitly makes clear that it is Group Housing as defined about under the housing code that is now included in inclusionary Housing Ordinance and not based on how we actually define dwelling units. 1178 folsom, two blocks within two blo

View of the Current Foreign Affairs situation with regards to our own approach to things. You mentioned the e. U. And you said that our partners the e. U. Would be would feel that the e. U. Would be unrecognizable if britain were to leave. Surely that should be our goal foreign secretary, that we want the e. U. To be fundamentally challenged as the Prime Minister has given the commitment to. So surely that should be an encouragement to us to be bold about the type of changes that we want more towards trading cooperation and less of a commit ral union. That is my first question. The second question is this, you are the foreign and commonwealth secretary and i dont think the commonwealth was mentioned ones in your remarks. Do we still have the c in fcos and did you replace it and put it back and did the british overseas sovereignty that we govern issues that need to be addressed as well. Any one of them in particular .
