ADUs are small apartments that share a lot with a single-family home. They can be basement apartments, above and inside garages, or entirely separate buildings. Currently, new ADU permits are only available for properties located a half mile or less from a fixed rail transit stop. The Council discussed the ADU ordinance during a series of briefings in 2017. During the December 5, 2017 work session the Council conducted a straw poll and voted unanimously to send the ADU ordinance back to the Planning Division for modifications and return to the Council with a revised ordinance for consideration, particularly related to recommendations to consider ADUs as a conditional use permit, which would allow ADUs if certain conditions can be met.

    Payback Incorporated FADE IN: INT. SAM’S OFFICE - DAY Male fingers nervously fiddle with an engagement ring. The fingers belong to CLIENT, who sits across from SAM (late 30’s) in a therapist-style setting. We see the only the back of Sam’s chair, but hear his voice. CLIENT I woke up this morning and I didn’t know what to do. I, I... SAM If that were true, you wouldn’t be here. You are a man who knows what to do. CLIENT To walk in on them like that. It was horrible. SAM What did you expect? The Client indicates the ring. SAM Are you kidding? CLIENT (distraught) I met her parents. She met mine. We were talking about floral arrangements, guest lists, private schools for kids. All that shit. SAM What’s next? CLIENT If there was some way I could forgive her. I’ve read that forgiveness can be the most powerful force in the universe. That the ultimate goal of any lasting relationship is trust and forgiveness. SAM I’m sure that’s what... what was her name? 2. CLIENT Cassie. SAM I’m sure that’s what Cassie was thinking while she was banging your friend in the crotch-less panties you bought her for Valentine’s Day. The Client puts his face in his hands. SAM Look, you’ve been lied to. You’ve been lied to by old girlfriends. You’ve been lied to by self-help books and Dr. Phil. You’ve been lied to by romantic comedies and fairy tales.

  • SAME but DIFFERENT: Chaos and TV Drama Narratives
    SAME BUT DIFFERENT: Chaos and TV Drama Narratives BY ALISON MCLACHLAN A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington (2019) ABSTRACT Complexity is a term that is now commonly used when discussing TV serial dramas and the way that, in recent years, creators and producers of this narrative form have embraced innovative and challenging strategies to tell their stories. As a result, it is also often argued that all TV serial dramas are strikingly different from one another; one of the few things that contemporary TV serial dramas have in common is their employment of complex narrative strategies. However, in this thesis, I argue that—while serial dramas are different from one another in many ways—they are also all the same at a fundamental level. In order to examine the fundamental narrative components that all serial dramas employ, I use chaos as a framework. Chaos is a branch of mathematics and science which examines systems that display unpredictable behaviour that is actually determined by deep structures of order and stability. At its most basic level, chaos corresponds with the way in which serial dramas are both complex and simple at the same time; beneath the complexity of serial dramas are fundamental building blocks that are used to generate innovative, challenging and unpredictable narratives. I apply the findings from my critical examination of chaos and TV drama narratives to the creation of my own TV projects, which employ the inherent structures and patterns of TV drama narratives in a way that produces innovative and complex stories.

  • Transcript of Public Hearing Testimony
    STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TRANSFORMATION OF SONOMA DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER JULY 18, 2015 1 KAREN FARIA: I'm sure because this is all day long, people will be coming and 2 going throughout the time we have allotted for this public hearing. Hello and welcome. 3 Welcome to all of you that are here in the audience and welcome to the people who are 4 joining us via the phone line. And DDS Department of Developmental Services is very 5 happy that we can accommodate everybody who is interested today. No matter what 6 point in the 124-year history of Sonoma Developmental Center, it has been an integral 7 and interconnected entity in the life of Sonoma Valley of this Valley of the Moon. And 8 over time, it has become an iconic entity for those who know it from personal 9 experience, for those who know it from secondhand experience, for those who know it 10 just from a kind of lazy drive down the shady part of Arnold Drive. Today, as it is 11 inevitable in all organizations, change is coming to SDC. We are here today to assist 12 that change through a democratic process. Democracy demands participation from its 13 people. And that's what we're going to do today. All of us here and on the phone are 14 going to participate in that change by describing what we think the future should be for 15 both the physical plant, for the services and for whatever other concern that all of you, 16 all of us may have for SDC's future.
