Nigeria, but the main opposition refuses to attend. Some of these birds have been bought by chinese Pigeon Fanciers for hundreds and thousands of dollars. We begin this news our in yemen. Houthi rebels captured the airport and parts of taiz, yemens Third Largest city. They fired into the air to disperse a rally against them. Fighters are pushing south in the direction of aden where the president is trying to hold on to power. We have a report. Tear gas in taiz. We refuse, we reject and denounce these militias, we will surround the Police Barracks with our bodies until they leave. First the houthis overtook the capitol of sanna forcing the president to plea to aden, now are moving towards the president. Aden is a short distance from taiz. President adou Rabbo Mansour hadi has been trying to hold on to power. I stress the following firstly, the evacuation of all armed militias from the military. Secondly, the withdrawal of all gunman from the yemeni capitol sanna and other cities. That d
Probably non conforming uses. In terms of creating new non conforming uses there is none of that but a good one is the creation of pdr in bay view as well as other examples. I think the notice is just important because we get people at the last minute that who didnt realize this was going on because they didnt get a legal notice and people dont see things until theyre in front of their faces anyway, and i guess the other question about the notification. Okay. Now youre going to have legal non conforming uses and some knew that but they were allowed to exist. Is there like the eastern neighborhoods some amnecessity or process by which you are doing letters of determination . What is the process if youre existing legal non conforping office use and now were going to be zoning you in the sallies and making you permanently non conforming what do say they want add more office space what do they do . Sure. Anybody already a legal non conforming use and remain that way things basically stay t
Agree there are positive features of the plan that deserve our support and your and we believe this raises questions about the adequacy of this plan to address longterm Housing Needs especially considering enormous investment into the corridor plan. We dont believe that western soma doesnt take advantage of the e eir capacity. We have talked about architects and rear yard setbacksis better understood as a land banking plan than promote the type of urban youth we would like to see. We question why the Zoning Administrator is prevented from making rulings in western soma he might be able to make in other parts of the city and regarding that gap on impact fees where do the fees come from if a plan is designed to restrict development . We think it has a lot of work to do on it yet. Thank you. Good afternoon commissioners, i am kowg cane and Hotel Designer and developer. As you can see there is going to be a lot of conflict over this particular western soma district. I would like to call yo
Appropriate. Again i dont have any strong feelings. I just wanted to understand that. The other thing you have no bonuses for making open space publicly accessible and i wanted to understand the rational behind that and that might discourage developers from creating open spaces that are publicly accessible. Sure. This is a common situation where you have competing goals. In western soma there is not a lot of open space and in eastern neighborhoods are you provided to require 80 square feet whether private decks or common courtyards but publicly soabl its 54 and provide half so you could provide less open space in exchange for making it publicly accessible. In this situation it was determined publicly accessible is good if that is enough of an incentive they dont want 50 of the open space reduced by a third. They want to generate as much open space as possible and that is obviously an issue in western soma. Again if we could figure out a way to make it you reach both goals so maybe not
Prevented from making rulings in western soma he might be able to make in other parts of the city and regarding that gap on impact fees where do the fees come from if a plan is designed to restrict development .

As you can see there is going to be a lot of conflict over this particular western soma district. I would like to call your attention to three zones of influence which have not been discussed today and those three zones are specifically midmarket development and the Grocery Store zone. I call it a zone. That is from trader joes all the way to food co including rainbow and costco which is really the Grocery Shopping area of the city and to a lesser extent the eastern neighborhoods housing restrictions which work with the midmarket development to really encourage development in this area in western soma, and if you take housing off the table wes
