Hi, im antonio the chief in San Francisco. The majority of kids at that age in order to get them into food they need to see something simple and the evidence will show and easy to produce i want to make sure that people can do it with a bowl and spoon and burner and one pan. I like is the receipts that are simple and not feel like its a burden to make foods the cohesives show something eased. I go for vera toilet so someone cant do it or its way out of their range we only use 6 ingredients i can afford 6 ingredient what good is showing you them something they cant use but the sovereignties what are you going to do more me youre not successful. We made a vegetable stirfry indicators hed ginger and onion that is really affordable how to balance it was easy to make the food we present i loved it if i having had access to a kitchen id cook more. Some of us have never had a kitchen not taught how to cookie wasnt taught how to cook. I have a great appreciation for programs that teach kids food and cooking it is one of the healthiest positive things you can communicate to people that are very young. The more programs like the cooking project in general that can have a positive impact how our kids eat is really, really important i believe that everybody should venting to utilize the kitchen and meet other kids their age to identify theyre not alone and their ways in which to pick yours up and move forward that. It is really important to me the opportunity exists and so i do everything in my power to keep it that.

Im steve gains the member of the californias a family owned partnership my father and his partner bought this and resident ownership for the communities following the rules of the city and being a good left hand weve not kicked out a tenant for financial gains and as needs in exhibit e we have the episcopal homeless shelter with the belowmarketrate and consistently to improve their premises we consistently give permit and when and where to get change of use permits on the ground floor and objected permits for parapet upgrades and fire sprinkler installations and lighting and ada and for improving the city sidewalk where one didnt exist over one indicates the office space neither dbi or planning questioned this for the past thirty years relied on contractors to help us to maintain and upgrade the property with the permitted by planning and we never considered a planning with any of the second story this was give further support when the District Attorney rented the office the District Attorney the Real Estate Division the zoo rectified this lease that was approved by the board of supervisors by authorizing this tenancy we assumed the city agreed the second story was continued to be used for office space weve understood it is the Central Permit Bureau role to point out a potential issue with the uses on the permit and route to planning for a change of use were not routed 0 for the da use and not so assume that is not approved and not a reason to seek a change of use we have adequate documentation startling the second story was permitted for office space in the letter of determination the da is distorting the issues for example, in exhibit g december 29, 1987, the wrote a bureau had the transit fee and the permits were organized by the Building Department all 9 properties were nonoffice space no a coincides we must assume little indulgence by the bureau to insure the information was accurately described not to the tsif it was a preexisting legal use no expansion was proposed because of that the tdif had likely been purchased by the argument from a preexisting nonconforming to the s l i the Zoning Administrator seems to acknowledge this space was used and a as office during a period of time it was permit in the building and in 1995 it was relented and the Business Services was a coming from use we didnt apply for a change of use the space was used for editorial and advertising not production by any owners were not aware of the newspaper offices and General Offices unfortunately, neither did the plan checkers that the problem with the system as owners were familiar with the tenants and buildings nor our skyline professionals know there was designation with great coincide we understand that dbi is not responsible for identifying the uses but the Planning Department had informed the consumers 20 years ago from a office space was a change of use this problem could video been yield if our agents were aware tdif was a building use and not an office they could route that to mr. Haney they didnt give the changes in the city most are not wildly known the lords are in the dark from renting to particular tenants which may result in losing the broader use if the future i cant thinks were forced for 9 months i appreciate the fact that Planning Departments has to be routine by the Planning Commission, and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote agenda to stop deliberate and illegal use of properties im glad theyre trying to stop the Property Owners that gain the system were not one of those Property Owners the financial coincides in this case our tablet cant move from San Francisco because this case hangs over us this is an unfair burden it operationally is unable to have the space opt out and the rent paid the most frustrating the central soma was approved this wouldnt be an issue it rezoned to pertaining permit the office space as the Zoning Administrator to this board a few weeks ago the zoning will be in place this spring making it mute the fact every migrants is not a violation but to have us at fault and not look at the history the use of spice for nearly thirty years is office and we hope youll agree with you in this matter. Good evening eileen from mary tell on behalf of the plaintiff i want to during this trial down on the 1987 permit that hesitate the impact fee and the 199 did permit we included in our brief as well that was legal or concerned with legal office space i know im running out of time ill pick up on will rebuttal. Ms. President i neglected to identify the conflict i have a conflict as i have used broad and mary tell in the past but none will have an impact on any judgment im sorry. Ms. Dick the 1999 permit was land use was it officer. As far as youre concerned the way the it was written on the face of the permit by the planner talked about no change in office space no change in office use. Overhead please. Im sorry that office use would have been preexisting and coming up by planning seem like it is hard to august not a legal use and the s r index in use that has to think preexisting and even a change of use for the nonoffice use a change that office use remained under the building and planning didnt take the opportunity the planner had the opportunity to question that she didnt do that and ask. A change of use it was approved as it was you wrote that in your brief is there a question when you put warehouse slash office the warehouse was an accessory. Youre asking commissioner fung and it was accessory use we didnt look at the plans im not sure there were plans for this permit rather so hard to say it may not have been and what were 0 discovering on the violations the difficulties in concerning the last legal use as you may know the plans radio missing you cant necessarily link together all the substantial events to make that determination easily. Thank you. Thank you mr. Sanchez. Thank you Scott Sanchez Planning Department. So the subject property was built in 1924 for the manufacturing warehouse use and the seeing and hearing none oversee office what the industrial building that past records that was recently in 1983 the permit was by the current owners for printing use and the subject property the permit referenced in 1987 allowed the existing use as office didnt actually authorize a change of use at that time that would have been allowed in the zoning but wards to the tdif it would have been assessed by a change of use this is a continuous this is why those were assessed the issue the permit was not properly identifying the proposed use but no permit on file that could a locate that change of use in this case if the use today is not permitted had not been permit and General Office use in this property since it was zoned s l i in 1990 ive noted in my letter of determination if there had been a General Office use that was prior to the rezoning in 1990 it would be a normal thereafter between 1990 and 1997 they have sf weekly a newspaper in that location that was the service that specifically included the office of newspapers not a General Office use that didnt allow for tech offices or office used to be located in the Business Service a service
