Commissioner richards okay. I wondered. Every single live work unit that was approved in San Francisco has an n. S. R. On it and saying its not housing, its commercial. And so academy put students in the housing pardon me in the buildings and considered it to be student housing, but they didnt comply with the law oliv on livework units. There were units that were abandoned, and there were more on harrison street. So they were not housing at that time because they were not conforming housing. That w they were both substantial buildings. President melgar thank you, miss hester. Mr. Adams, did you want to explain the methodology further . Dan adams, mohcd.

Parapet thats capped, the piece of metal commissioner richards thank you point to it, please . Its here. Commissioner richards its black . Yes. And the box bays project and interrupt that. So we have a standard height where parapets are normally high, in this case, were trying to control that in such a way that it keeps it simple, but something thats not trying too hard to overwhelm the street. Its certainly something we could dial in further if need be in conditioning with staff and the like. Commissioner richards id actually like to see it a little bit higher.
