Were built. If somebody said is my building up to code, i will say yes it is up to code. It is up to the 1909 code. In 1909 there was no requirement for earthquake design. Until 1933 when the reilly act went into effect after the disastrous 1933 Santa Barbara long beach. Destroyed elementary schools. They were brick. If the kids were in school, we would have lost thousands of kids. That banned brick construction and required seismic designs to be incorporated in buildings. There was a major there are a number of thresholds over the course of the development. The big one is in the mid 70s, but a whole threshold, series of these thresholds. Many of the older buildings, like the 1 across the street have been upgraded to meet some modern standards. This is the Williams Building that we were talking about that is the replacement of the building that was damaged in the 1906 earthquake. It was built just like it with the plans.

Component will be two blocks up the street in a landmark building. When people do development, there is tradeoff for affordable housing. It is not always within the ritz carlton itself. It can be relocated or paid into a fund and used another way. We will walk a block down this way down comMission Street. We are down here at the corner of third street and Mission Street. There is lots of construction going on. Some old buildings. This is not necessarily a historic walking tour. This is to talk about buildings and earthquake issues. Let me mention something more modern about earthquakes. I have been at this earthquake conference for a whole week. One of the big issues is what is the public expectation of the performance of a building. This is a good time to point out to you, the buildings only have to be built as well as the code that was in effect when they were built. If somebody said is my building up to code, i will say yes it is up to code. It is up to the 1909 code. In 1909 there

Hotel, time share and residential units. That is the story on the old chronicle building. We have a question over here. Hold on. When is it due to be complete . My guess is, i dont know for sure, but on the order of a year and a half from now. This is Affordable Housing . Surprisingly what it did was generate the restoration of another landmark two blocks up designed by the reed brothers, all the Affordable Housing component will be two blocks up the street in a landmark building. When people do development, there is tradeoff for Affordable Housing. It is not always within the ritz carlton itself. It can be relocated or paid into a fund and used another way.
