In the absence of the proposed s. U. D. s removal of the Affordable Housing grandfather clause, the project would be required to provide 14. 5 or 14 of the 95 units as permanently affordable. The s. U. D. Language as proposed by supervisor farrell would require 17 of the 95 units to be affordable. Commensurate with the removal of the dwelling unit density control proposed in the geary masonic s.

This is certainly a long and arduous process to get here. But one that weve been very excited about. I wanted to start off by giving you a little bit of context about the site itself.

Its heavily serviced site of Public Transit and the future site of the geary Rapid Transit line as well, which is currently under construction there.

But glass halffull, half empty. Look at numbers. Margins may tell us something as we look forward to 2018. Well look at all four races. With the race in georgia last night, 3. 8 percentage point win for republicans and karen handel on that side, compares to last time this seat was open a 23point margin. We saw in other races, South Carolina, which was much closer than anybody anticipated with republicans only winning it by 3. 2 Percentage Points, versus a district where they won by 20 point the last time around. The other two races, four special elections for the republicans so far have gone 44, montana, 5. 6, versus 16 Percentage Points last tim ....
