She is the principal of JG Cosmetics and she is the owner of the property and in the
solicitude, she is asking permission for two units in the property.
When the property was purchased on December 12th of 2023, it already had the two units.
When the property was purchased on December 12th of 2023, it already had the two units.
And if I could start sharing my screen, we could go to the corrected plans.
In the initial set of plans, it was misidentified as C Street, and then I supplemented it and corrected it with the corrected plans.
It said D Street.
So the basement is not being used strictly for storage.
on the first floor the the applicant is seeking to legalize a smaller unit in the rear which is
highlighted in pink or red and then the larger unit is on the first floor the front half of the
first floor and the full second floor así que aquí están los planos corregidos este fueron
mal identificado como C-street y yo suplementé para que lo corrigieran en los planos como D-street.
Así que aquí está el sótano, no está siendo utilizado, es solamente para almacén.
El primer piso, la aplicante está buscando legalizar una unidad más pequeña en la parte de atrás.
This is in red or red here, and then the biggest unit that is in the first floor is in the bottom.
The entrance to the larger unit would be on the front, where D Street is, and that's where my cursor is hovering over that staircase and that entrance.
Así que la entrada de la unidad más grande sería aquí en la parte del frente, donde está ubicada la Death Street, y a donde estoy apuntando ahora mismo, que es las escaleras.
Y esa unidad es aproximadamente 910 pies cuadrados.
unit that entrance would be in the rear alley
y ahora estoy señalando la entrada de la unidad más pequeña y eso estaría en la
parte de atrás de entrada y esa unidad aproximadamente 366 pies cuadrados
The approximate rent of the larger unit is 1200 feet and the approximate rent for the smaller unit is 700 square feet.
So the approximate rent of the larger unit is 1200 feet and the approximate rent of the smaller unit is 700 feet.
If I could show you some photographs.
Yeah, thank you, Joe.
Okay, so.
Something's off there.
We got to, we got to re-center something.

Here is a photo of the rear of the building, with the entrance, to the basement, my cursor is over the entrance to the basement,
And here is the entrance to the smaller unit in the back.
And here is where the trash is being stored.
And again, that entrance would be from the rear alley.
Y esa entrada es del callejón de atrás.
Así que aquí está la vista, una de las direcciones del callejón.
Muchos de los residentes se estacionan en la parte de atrás de este callejón.

why don't we have the interpreter have your testimony adopted okay my clients
coming to the computer one book but I beg the boards indulgence up here she is okay
who's there and would you like
Would you like me to ask her if she accepts the testimony from the attorney?
Okay, I'm going to ask that in English, so we have a clear record.
Ms. Garcia, have you heard my presentation?
Señora Garcia, usted ha escuchado la presentación.
And you saw it and you agree with it?
Y usted lo vio, usted está de acuerdo con la presentación.
yes and you have any corrections or other additions to my testimony tiene alguna
corrección o alguna adicción para este testimonio everything's fine and would you
adopt it as your own if you were testifying y usted adoptaría este testimonio como el
propio su propio este si estuviera testificando yes any questions of the board questions from the
Yes, I have one question about access to the basement. In the plans that you showed, it looked like the access to the basement was in the smaller unit, but the stairwell cuts into the new unit you've created on the first and the second floor. What is happening with the stairwell that was coming from inside to the basement?
The only access to the basement is from the back alley.
and i could show you that those photos again you showed the you showed the back alley entrance to
the basement but there's still the stairwell on the plan and so what is what is happening with
that stairwell are you closing it off was it removed can you go back to the play go back to
the plans for the plans gladly
and are there any photos of the basement at all no we the basement's not being used we took no
photos of the of the basement um find the plans
here we go so um can you see uh the basement can you see the plans
yes okay so there's no staircase in the basement
okay and that's correct right miss garcia there's no is there is there a staircase in the basement
going from the basement to any of the units or no y señora garcia hay escaleras desde el sótano
No, she said no. She said no. The only staircase is from the front of the first floor leading up to that second floor.
Así que la única escalera es desde el primer piso y yendo hacia el segundo piso.
Y claro, está la escalera de atrás que van de el callejón a la unidad de atrás.
and floor respectively for each unit.
Así que la otra pregunta acerca de las utilidades.
¿Fueron movidas las utilidades del sótano al primero o segundo
piso para cada unidad?
Usted lo sabe, señora, donde está la electricidad, gas.
De eso no hay gas ahí.
OK, well, the electricity.
Where's the electricity?
Where are they?
Is it outside in the back alley, though?
Tiene su electricidad en la de antes y el de atrás.
Y a dónde está ubicada la electricidad?
En cada apartamento.
En la parte de atrás, afuera, adentro?
Lo mire tan afuera.
La caja tiene una caja principal para cada apartamento.
so there is an electrical box for every apartment the meters are outside but
every apartment has its own electrical boxer for each unit okay and just to
confirm this is an all-electric building y para confirmar este un edificio que
es completamente electricidad correct and then where the water where's the
where's the water heater y el calentador de agua
water heater y el calentador de agua
it's electric as well understand that but where is the water tank
y a donde está y el tanque de agua a donde está ubicado porque no lo vemos en el plano
cada uno hay un uno de esos de los galones de agua en el de adelante está
al entrar hay una parte que está sellada y todo donde está el calentador de agua cada uno tiene
su parte de calentador de agua pero cerrado so each unit has their gallon of the water heater
and it's closed off but each unit has it the first one has it as you go in but it's also closed off
What do you mean it's closed off?
So it's like a small door with a closet that has the water heater.
Okay, so each unit has their electrical panel and their water heater in the unit respectively.
and the owner is going to be the only person with access to this basement door
correct okay thank you
yeah i just i just have one i guess one question comment
The three-bedroom unit has just a very small living kitchen area for that size unit.
And because we don't have any images of the basement, I'm still trying to understand we've got a basement that's a full height that's essentially above grade in the back.
And you're not using it for anything.
um that seems odd when this space for the living room dining room kitchen is all in the space of
about 100 square feet for a three bedroom unit so i think the i think the the density of the
the building is just too tight um or too much for this building and the fact that the folks
that live in this other you know i'm saying a lot has to walk through a driveway to get to a public
So, I have a question, a comment.
The unit of three rooms has a very small kitchen room for that size.
And as we don't have images of the sótano, I'm still trying to understand.
We have a whole sótano that is above the level of the floor in the back, and they don't use it for anything.
Eso parece extraño cuando el espacio para la sala de estar, el comedor y la cocina está a unos 100 pies cuadrados para una unidad de tres habitaciones.
Así que la densidad del edificio es como que está muy estrecha.
Hay como que mucho en ese espacio.
Y también que tienen que caminar por la entrada donde se estaciona, que es un sitio público.
any other questions you otra pregunta
questions from our attorney Hillary not at this time mr. chair questions or comments from the
virtual audience in no age chair planning commission Amy Boyd with the planning commission
