== Current City Issues ==
### Current City Issues
 
 
We cannot meet with the landlord for this until we consult a lawyer.
 
Some department has classified us as a space for public use.
 
What elements make this up in the planning code? Why are we one? Again, we need a *lawyer*.
 
- We need to apply for and receive a "conditional use authorization" regardless of the future.
- OR we convince them that we are not a public facility.
 
Bullitt: I came in on Tuesday and gave the guy a tour, I gave him my email. He gave me the paper. He had read about the space and had never been here and suggested we apply for a change of use. We are not currently classified as a public space. I asked him for literature.  I couldn't find anything in SFGOV but did find something in Washington State. Not pertinent to San Francisco. He works at the CBC - he is on the assessor's website. His email was associated with the complaint for Noisebridge.  His contact info is on the paper.
 
 
### Options if we do not stay at 2169 Mission
 
1. Rent something else
 
- Lots of questions
- Bigger space?
- worst case: bleed ourselves dry and get bitter...
- Similar Space?
- at LEAST 5500 square feet
- What are our strict requirements?
 
- Redstone Building
- Unknown, mitch meeting with someone on the 17th?
 
2. Buy a building
 
- Buy: Omni Commons Model?


* We cannot meet with the landlord for this until we consult a lawyer.
- Buy: On our own
* Some department has classified us as a space for public use.
- City Grants
* What elements make this up in the planning code? Why are we one? Again, we need a *lawyer*.
- We have a huge wealth of social capital that we don't even have quantified
** We need to apply for and receive a "conditional use authorization" regardless of the future.
** OR we convince them that we are not a public facility.
* Bullitt: l was here on Tuesday around 6 pm and let the guy in. David Brosky from CPC (Capital Planning Committee) did not say he was representing the City until after l gave him a tour. He had read about the space but had never been here. He suggested we apply for a change of use as a Public Facility. He wanted to serve the paperwork, l directed him to Darryl. He asked for a contact so l gave him my email. We are not currently classified as a public facility. He e-mailed me and l asked him for literature about legal implications and responsibilities of Public Facilities; he has not responded yet. l couldn't find anything on SFGOV.org but did find something in Washington State describing their criteria for a public facility that is privately owned. Not the definition from San Francisco. His e-mail (david.brosky@sfgov.org) is associated with the complaint regarding the laser cutter on the assessor's website. His contact info is on the paper served to Noisebridge.
