The floor above . Because the slabs on grade is a conventional slap, it is not post tension. One of the things the building designers do is to make the floor as thin as they reasonably can. There are several benefits to that. First of all, it reduces the mass of the building. We have 7. 5 inch slab. Conventional slab would probably be 10. 5 inches, which is about 25 more concrete mass. It also reduces the overall floor to floor height, which helps with the architectural facade and the square footage. One of the things people are always looking at is decreasing the floor to floor height, especially in San Francisco where we have clearly defined height limits, and maybe could squeeze another story and there if you are good at it. We see a lot of people struggling with the thickness of all these assemblies, both the Structural Assembly and non structural which might be above the ceiling, where we have the heating, ventilation, plumbing, fire sprinklers. You say that the finish of the conc
Pastry chefs. These are storage containers. Allowed by law. Now, we have restaurants who use chemicals on the food. Thats be allowed. We are very careful to be sure they use proper items like this. We have a i usually have my temperature gun. We usually take a temperature, we stir it up and take a surface temperature. It should be fairly close. You want to know what kind of product it is. If its something that needs to be cooled quickly, we like the temperature to come from 140 to about 41 degrees within 6 hours time. Today were not equiped to do that. The reason im looking at other structures, roaches like to stay under in the crevices, they like to lay their eggs. Sometimes you look at high water areas because were looking for cockroaches. Duck is being cooled down, you dont have to put it in the refrigerator right away. If you put it in the refrigerator right away, it will lose inaudible you have to allow time for it to cool down correctly. You allow that to cool down, its still fai
Between market and mission streets. We have all of the people who are part of the project, including the contractors, the design engineers, soil engineers, structural folks. I think we should byrt asking the question, what is a highrise building . What what makes this different from any other building . We have the architect for this project. This is actually two projects . That is correct. We are building a little over 100 units, hud found it, affordable housing. There is a community center, Child Development center, a youth center, and there are a couple of retail spaces, the tenant of which is still to be determined. Are these highrise buildings . They are. A highrise building is a building that is more than 75 feet from the point of Fire Department access on the ground to the floor of the highest occupied floor of the building. Correct. Im glad we agree. It is important to agree. This is a highrise building. This will also be a highrise building. They started construction yesterday
Valley a ban the retail. I think when the city come down well look at whether or not the ban is acceptable. Theres an issue ever of a Grocery Store people in hayes valley may want it and there maybe a ban that stops them from getting it i agree that the process currently works and thats why im not going to support this. I think we already have something in place and as i pointed out it weve supported some things and denied other things. While its in the perfect we have a check and Balance System now. But i think the example of granite i think if starbucks fought a company h that has less than 11 without going through this process they should. Was there a clarification . I want to say one point. Thank you for sticking up for my boss. I want to make a practical point. Supervisor farrell has introduced this and supervisor mar is introducing an ordinance to do it citywide. It is probably the direction the board of supervisors wants to go and id like say to the commissioners that the board
Be heated and cooled with forced air, that is where you get the dropped ceiling. Also, corridors and public areas. The dwelling units do not have airconditioning . They do not. They have heating but not air conditioning. Do they have outside air . Absolutely, they have windows and they also have a system called zduct, which provides for a share even when the windows are closed. One of the reasons they have the systems, ever since 1974, chapter 12day of the Building Code requires that you have sound transmission isolation between dwelling units so they cannot hear their neighbors, and between the residential units and the cars at outside. That specifically says that if you are in one of these noise areas, which are on the transit corridor, that you must design the building such that you can ventilate the resident units with the windows closed, meeting all the Noise Control requirements. You close the windows and you still have enough ventilation, which is why people use zducts. That is
