That’s the message from Oakland Unified School District as millions of children head back to school this week and next. In a new YouTube video remix, students from Oakland middle and elementary schools bust a move to Rihanna’s “Please Don’t Stop the Music” to promote the importance of school attendance. Titled “I’m An Oakland School Kid,” it also features National Football League star and Oakland native Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the video, a teacher tells his class, “If you put in the work today, tomorrow you can be whatever you want to be.” A young boy goes on to imagine kids growing up to be president, a scientist, judge, astronaut, moviemaker and more. The kids dance and sing lyrics like “Can’t be late, I’ve got to get myself to class so they can educate. There is a world of things to know so I can’t hesitate.

In a surprise move Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Education criticized the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges for not following certain federal rules in coming to its July decision to terminate CCSF's accreditation effective July 31, 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, the accrediting commission cited slow progress by the school in correcting deficiencies that the commission had identified. The college says it will appeal the decision, and it remains open as a state-appointed trustee scrambles to fix the problems the commission identified – from shaky finances to governance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But yesterday the department \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/160108074/DOE-threatens-recognition-of-accreditation-group\" target=\"_blank\">cited the commission\u003c/a> itself as out of compliance. The strict warning came in response to a letter filed by faculty union leaders at the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to that complaint, the DOE listed these areas in which the commission violated the federal agency's criteria for recognition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The accrediting commission did not have enough academics on the CCSF evaluation team.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A potential conflict of interest existed in the team's inclusion of the spouse of the accrediting commission's president.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The accrediting commission did not provide \"adequate due process\" to CCSF when it characterized its complaints in a 2012 report as recommendations. \"By using the term recommendation to mean both noncompliance with standards and areas for improvement,\" the DOE letter reads, \"the agency does not meet the regulatory requirement to provide a detailed written report that clearly identifies any deficiencies in the institution's compliance with the agency's standards.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The commission allowed CCSF to be out of compliance for more than two years.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->The DOE said that the accreditation commission \"must take immediate steps to correct the areas of non-compliance identified in this letter.\" However, it's unclear if the cited errors will have any impact on the commission's decision to terminate CCSF's accreditation, should the school be unable to correct the identified deficiencies by the July, 2014 deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>The California Federation of Teachers says it's looking into the possibility of legal action.\u003c/strong>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.accjc.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Press_Release_Response_to_USDE_Letter_August_13_2013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">statement\u003c/a> yesterday, the Accrediting Commission said it was \"disappointed\" that the DOE found it to be out of compliance in the four areas cited and that it would formally respond in December. It also defended itself against the DOE's complaint about the dearth of academics on the CCSF evaluation panel, saying there were three, not one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Accrediting Commission president Barbara Beno told KQED's Ana Tintocalis yesterday that she took issue with the DOE's letter, and called on the federal government to review its own rules before taking any action against the commission. \"We think they have a new interpretation of the regulations that's never been in print,\" she said. \"So that's one of those surprises, I'd say, for sure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beno downplayed any effect the DOE letter would have, saying that it's not uncommon for the federal government to find problems with commissions like hers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in a conference call today, Josh Pechthalt, president of the California Federation of Teachers, said the union was looking into the possibility of legal action. \"I think it's a little premature to say we're going to sue. But certainly the findings by the Department of Education suggest in a very powerful way that the decision on City College of San Francisco just cannot stand.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Back to school\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, students at CCSF are heading to school today to start what could be the college’s last year as an accredited institution. State law prohibits funding unaccredited institutions, so most observers expect the school to close, should it not be able to come into compliance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since last year, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/25/104635/ccsf-accreditation\">enrollment is down\u003c/a> and a record number of faculty members have left. Students and instructors who have held on are doing their best to adapt to their uncertain future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Todd Brewer, a second-year student at City College, says time is of the essence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just makes you feel like you’re racing against the clock to get things done now,” he says. “I have not taken any of the math courses required. I’ve just been putting it off. Now I’m like, I have to get these done now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brewer says he’s been anxious about his classes since the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges announced last month it was erasing its stamp of approval.\u003c!--more--> If the appeal, or a review of the process, doesn’t reverse the decision by July, future students would no longer qualify for financial aid – and their credits would not transfer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is discouraging to other students who haven’t yet put their foot into taking classes, knowing they could start and not get to finish,” Brewer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City College officials say enrollment has dropped by more than 25 percent in the past couple of years, in large part because of the accreditation crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Student Danielle Ladd says, to her, it makes no sense to abandon the school now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not going to worry about something that hasn’t changed yet,” she says. “Let’s keep going to school here and hope for the best.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_106775\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/08/RS6130_CCSF-instructor-pic-scr.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-106775\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/08/RS6130_CCSF-instructor-pic-scr-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Melissa Canlas, a part-time Asian American Studies instructor at City College, says the school's accreditation issues have been trying for faculty members.

So are decisions about course offerings and, ultimately, jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alisa Messer, spokeswoman for the faculty union, says while most instructors are committed to riding out the accreditation issues, more than 50 full-time faculty members resigned or retired last school year, a record number for the school. Dozens of part-time instructors also left, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melissa Canlas, a part-time Asian American Studies instructor who teaches three classes at the school, says the accreditation process has been excruciating for faculty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t, as faculty, have authority over the decision-making, the administrative things that were in the accreditation report,” Canlas says. “Almost none of the findings had to do with the quality of teaching. So the fact that we could be having a conversation about potentially closing our school, when that conversation has so little focus on the actual teaching and learning that’s going on in the classroom, has been really challenging to try and understand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canlas says her biggest frustration with the accreditation issue, though, is the potential harm it could do to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are tens of thousands of students who might not have a place to go next year,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing that keeps her from getting too discouraged is the outpouring of community support. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, the state community college chancellor, and some legislators have thrown their weight behind keeping the college open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, instructors and students are doing their best to focus on getting the school year off to a good start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Here is the DOE letter to the commission\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca title=\"View DOE threatens recognition of accreditation group on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/160108074/DOE-threatens-recognition-of-accreditation-group\">DOE threatens recognition of accreditation group\u003c/a> by \u003ca title=\"View KQED News's profile on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/KQED_News\">KQED News\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.scribd.com/embeds/160108074/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-27ul1dhjzmd1qcwgt3so&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

In a surprise move Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Education criticized the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges for not following certain federal rules in coming to its July decision to terminate CCSF's accreditation effective July 31, 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, the accrediting commission cited slow progress by the school in correcting deficiencies that the commission had identified. The college says it will appeal the decision, and it remains open as a state-appointed trustee scrambles to fix the problems the commission identified – from shaky finances to governance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But yesterday the department \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/160108074/DOE-threatens-recognition-of-accreditation-group\" target=\"_blank\">cited the commission\u003c/a> itself as out of compliance. The strict warning came in response to a letter filed by faculty union leaders at the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to that complaint, the DOE listed these areas in which the commission violated the federal agency's criteria for recognition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The accrediting commission did not have enough academics on the CCSF evaluation team.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A potential conflict of interest existed in the team's inclusion of the spouse of the accrediting commission's president.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The accrediting commission did not provide \"adequate due process\" to CCSF when it characterized its complaints in a 2012 report as recommendations. \"By using the term recommendation to mean both noncompliance with standards and areas for improvement,\" the DOE letter reads, \"the agency does not meet the regulatory requirement to provide a detailed written report that clearly identifies any deficiencies in the institution's compliance with the agency's standards.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The commission allowed CCSF to be out of compliance for more than two years.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->The DOE said that the accreditation commission \"must take immediate steps to correct the areas of non-compliance identified in this letter.\" However, it's unclear if the cited errors will have any impact on the commission's decision to terminate CCSF's accreditation, should the school be unable to correct the identified deficiencies by the July, 2014 deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>The California Federation of Teachers says it's looking into the possibility of legal action.\u003c/strong>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.accjc.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Press_Release_Response_to_USDE_Letter_August_13_2013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">statement\u003c/a> yesterday, the Accrediting Commission said it was \"disappointed\" that the DOE found it to be out of compliance in the four areas cited and that it would formally respond in December. It also defended itself against the DOE's complaint about the dearth of academics on the CCSF evaluation panel, saying there were three, not one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Accrediting Commission president Barbara Beno told KQED's Ana Tintocalis yesterday that she took issue with the DOE's letter, and called on the federal government to review its own rules before taking any action against the commission. \"We think they have a new interpretation of the regulations that's never been in print,\" she said. \"So that's one of those surprises, I'd say, for sure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beno downplayed any effect the DOE letter would have, saying that it's not uncommon for the federal government to find problems with commissions like hers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in a conference call today, Josh Pechthalt, president of the California Federation of Teachers, said the union was looking into the possibility of legal action. \"I think it's a little premature to say we're going to sue. But certainly the findings by the Department of Education suggest in a very powerful way that the decision on City College of San Francisco just cannot stand.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Back to school\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, students at CCSF are heading to school today to start what could be the college’s last year as an accredited institution. State law prohibits funding unaccredited institutions, so most observers expect the school to close, should it not be able to come into compliance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since last year, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/25/104635/ccsf-accreditation\">enrollment is down\u003c/a> and a record number of faculty members have left. Students and instructors who have held on are doing their best to adapt to their uncertain future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Todd Brewer, a second-year student at City College, says time is of the essence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just makes you feel like you’re racing against the clock to get things done now,” he says. “I have not taken any of the math courses required. I’ve just been putting it off. Now I’m like, I have to get these done now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brewer says he’s been anxious about his classes since the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges announced last month it was erasing its stamp of approval.\u003c!--more--> If the appeal, or a review of the process, doesn’t reverse the decision by July, future students would no longer qualify for financial aid – and their credits would not transfer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is discouraging to other students who haven’t yet put their foot into taking classes, knowing they could start and not get to finish,” Brewer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City College officials say enrollment has dropped by more than 25 percent in the past couple of years, in large part because of the accreditation crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Student Danielle Ladd says, to her, it makes no sense to abandon the school now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not going to worry about something that hasn’t changed yet,” she says. “Let’s keep going to school here and hope for the best.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_106775\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/08/RS6130_CCSF-instructor-pic-scr.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-106775\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/08/RS6130_CCSF-instructor-pic-scr-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Melissa Canlas, a part-time Asian American Studies instructor at City College, says the school's accreditation issues have been trying for faculty members.

So are decisions about course offerings and, ultimately, jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alisa Messer, spokeswoman for the faculty union, says while most instructors are committed to riding out the accreditation issues, more than 50 full-time faculty members resigned or retired last school year, a record number for the school. Dozens of part-time instructors also left, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melissa Canlas, a part-time Asian American Studies instructor who teaches three classes at the school, says the accreditation process has been excruciating for faculty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t, as faculty, have authority over the decision-making, the administrative things that were in the accreditation report,” Canlas says. “Almost none of the findings had to do with the quality of teaching. So the fact that we could be having a conversation about potentially closing our school, when that conversation has so little focus on the actual teaching and learning that’s going on in the classroom, has been really challenging to try and understand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canlas says her biggest frustration with the accreditation issue, though, is the potential harm it could do to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are tens of thousands of students who might not have a place to go next year,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing that keeps her from getting too discouraged is the outpouring of community support. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, the state community college chancellor, and some legislators have thrown their weight behind keeping the college open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, instructors and students are doing their best to focus on getting the school year off to a good start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Here is the DOE letter to the commission\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca title=\"View DOE threatens recognition of accreditation group on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/160108074/DOE-threatens-recognition-of-accreditation-group\">DOE threatens recognition of accreditation group\u003c/a> by \u003ca title=\"View KQED News's profile on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/KQED_News\">KQED News\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Residents have said certain landlords pack as many people into these properties as possible, which leads to problems with noise, parking and traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, landlords can divide their properties into any number of bedrooms allowed by the building code, and the city has no authority to review or deny the plans. This has led to “numerous bad examples of excessive bedrooms in structures,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/eric-angstadt/\">Eric Angstadt\u003c/a>, city planning director, told the council last week. “We all agree that some degree of discretionary review is needed in order to allow us to begin to curb the construction of these types of situations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most mini-dorms have at least six bedrooms, and often have eight or more, according to a city staff report from January. One challenge in controlling their proliferation, say city staff, is to find a way to regulate mini-dorms without putting an undue burden on other residents who wish to add bedrooms to their property. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>South side bears brunt of the problem\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a city staff report from July 2012, the south side area near the Cal campus bears much of the brunt of this problem, due to landlords catering to students who want to live close to campus. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/southside-neighborhood-consortium/\">Southside Neighborhood Consortium\u003c/a> — the umbrella organization for six neighborhood groups in the area — wrote a memo asking the city to deal with mini-dorms in January 2012. According to the group, there are “at least a couple of dozen properties that have become mini-dorms over the last few years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a typical situation, according to the group, an investor purchases an existing unit with, say, three bedrooms. The owner then adds bedrooms to the property without adding any additional common space or parking, then markets the property to students. One resident who spoke last week said an estimated 12-14 students may live in one of these homes at any given time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-97018\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/BerkeleysideLOGOfinal.gif\" alt=\"BerkeleysideLOGOfinal\" width=\"160\" height=\"44\">“The typical outcome of these conversions is, effectively, a ‘party house’ that generates unacceptable levels of noise, trash, poorly maintained yards and structures, greater numbers of cars requiring parking, and late-night traffic,” according to the memo. “Owners of mini-dorms generally are unresponsive to requests to manage their properties in a manner that would reduce negative impacts because of the revenue that would be lost by lowering density or by enforcing ‘no party’ clauses in leases, etc.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Cycle of neighborhood degradation’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These mini-dorms, according to the memo, lead to “a vicious cycle of neighborhood degradation” as residents move out due to the problems posed by mini-dorms, and investors then snatch up the properties to convert them into more mini-dorms: “In this way, long-term homeowners and tenants are displaced with a transient population that tends to view the Berkeley community as a place to ‘party’ in an irresponsible manner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityofberkeley.info/Clerk/City_Council/City_Council__Agenda_Index.aspx\">Tuesday night, July 16\u003c/a>, the council voted to ask the city’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/planning-commission/\">Planning Commission\u003c/a> to develop an ordinance designed to regulate mini-dorms. The ordinance would control the addition of bedrooms in some residential zones, and may be modeled on a \u003ca href=\"http://www.codepublishing.com/CA/SanLuisObispo/sanluisobispo17/SanLuisObispo1793.html\">related ordinance in San Luis Obispo\u003c/a>. Council also asked the commission to consider creating an “overlay district,” which could limit the regulations to a certain area, such as south of campus, rather than having it apply city-wide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance would apply only to new construction, and would require a use permit with a public hearing for the addition of a sixth bedroom or more. It would not apply to other types of group housing — such as fraternities and sororities, dorms or rooming houses — which are defined differently under the city code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Council has several policies in contention\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/susan-wengraf/\">Councilwoman Susan Wengraf\u003c/a> noted that the new limitation seemed to be somewhat in opposition to a recent council decision to allow property owners to build additional in-law type units on their property with fewer administrative hurdles. That would ultimately mean, once the mini-dorm ordinance is final, that adding a sixth bedroom would require more review — including fees of an estimated $5,000 — than construction of a detached in-law unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Replied city attorney \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/zach-cowan/\">Zach Cowan\u003c/a>: “The council has various policies that are in contention with each other, and that’s just another one. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/jesse-arreguin/\">Councilman Jesse Arreguín\u003c/a> said ultimately the city needs to improve enforcement of its ordinances to ensure that problems associated with mini-dorms are kept to a minimum: “What it really comes down to is enforcing the existing law and whatever new policy we adopt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to concerns expressed by \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/laurie-capitelli/\">Councilman Laurie Capitelli\u003c/a> that the new ordinance wouldn’t solve all the problems noted by residents, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/kriss-worthington/\">Councilman Kriss Worthington\u003c/a> said that, at least, it’s a start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do agree it won’t work for all of the people all of the time,” said Worthington. “We’re not proposing this as a panacea to solve all the problems. This is just one tool that’s proposed for us to move forward.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Residents have said certain landlords pack as many people into these properties as possible, which leads to problems with noise, parking and traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, landlords can divide their properties into any number of bedrooms allowed by the building code, and the city has no authority to review or deny the plans. This has led to “numerous bad examples of excessive bedrooms in structures,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/eric-angstadt/\">Eric Angstadt\u003c/a>, city planning director, told the council last week. “We all agree that some degree of discretionary review is needed in order to allow us to begin to curb the construction of these types of situations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most mini-dorms have at least six bedrooms, and often have eight or more, according to a city staff report from January. One challenge in controlling their proliferation, say city staff, is to find a way to regulate mini-dorms without putting an undue burden on other residents who wish to add bedrooms to their property. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/southside-neighborhood-consortium/\">Southside Neighborhood Consortium\u003c/a> — the umbrella organization for six neighborhood groups in the area — wrote a memo asking the city to deal with mini-dorms in January 2012. According to the group, there are “at least a couple of dozen properties that have become mini-dorms over the last few years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a typical situation, according to the group, an investor purchases an existing unit with, say, three bedrooms. The owner then adds bedrooms to the property without adding any additional common space or parking, then markets the property to students. One resident who spoke last week said an estimated 12-14 students may live in one of these homes at any given time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-97018\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/BerkeleysideLOGOfinal.gif\" alt=\"BerkeleysideLOGOfinal\" width=\"160\" height=\"44\">“The typical outcome of these conversions is, effectively, a ‘party house’ that generates unacceptable levels of noise, trash, poorly maintained yards and structures, greater numbers of cars requiring parking, and late-night traffic,” according to the memo. “Owners of mini-dorms generally are unresponsive to requests to manage their properties in a manner that would reduce negative impacts because of the revenue that would be lost by lowering density or by enforcing ‘no party’ clauses in leases, etc.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Cycle of neighborhood degradation’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These mini-dorms, according to the memo, lead to “a vicious cycle of neighborhood degradation” as residents move out due to the problems posed by mini-dorms, and investors then snatch up the properties to convert them into more mini-dorms: “In this way, long-term homeowners and tenants are displaced with a transient population that tends to view the Berkeley community as a place to ‘party’ in an irresponsible manner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityofberkeley.info/Clerk/City_Council/City_Council__Agenda_Index.aspx\">Tuesday night, July 16\u003c/a>, the council voted to ask the city’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/planning-commission/\">Planning Commission\u003c/a> to develop an ordinance designed to regulate mini-dorms. The ordinance would control the addition of bedrooms in some residential zones, and may be modeled on a \u003ca href=\"http://www.codepublishing.com/CA/SanLuisObispo/sanluisobispo17/SanLuisObispo1793.html\">related ordinance in San Luis Obispo\u003c/a>. Council also asked the commission to consider creating an “overlay district,” which could limit the regulations to a certain area, such as south of campus, rather than having it apply city-wide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance would apply only to new construction, and would require a use permit with a public hearing for the addition of a sixth bedroom or more. It would not apply to other types of group housing — such as fraternities and sororities, dorms or rooming houses — which are defined differently under the city code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Council has several policies in contention\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/susan-wengraf/\">Councilwoman Susan Wengraf\u003c/a> noted that the new limitation seemed to be somewhat in opposition to a recent council decision to allow property owners to build additional in-law type units on their property with fewer administrative hurdles. That would ultimately mean, once the mini-dorm ordinance is final, that adding a sixth bedroom would require more review — including fees of an estimated $5,000 — than construction of a detached in-law unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Replied city attorney \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/zach-cowan/\">Zach Cowan\u003c/a>: “The council has various policies that are in contention with each other, and that’s just another one. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/jesse-arreguin/\">Councilman Jesse Arreguín\u003c/a> said ultimately the city needs to improve enforcement of its ordinances to ensure that problems associated with mini-dorms are kept to a minimum: “What it really comes down to is enforcing the existing law and whatever new policy we adopt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to concerns expressed by \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/laurie-capitelli/\">Councilman Laurie Capitelli\u003c/a> that the new ordinance wouldn’t solve all the problems noted by residents, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/kriss-worthington/\">Councilman Kriss Worthington\u003c/a> said that, at least, it’s a start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do agree it won’t work for all of the people all of the time,” said Worthington. “We’re not proposing this as a panacea to solve all the problems. This is just one tool that’s proposed for us to move forward.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System will supply both Northern and Southern California, inching the state one step closer to its ambitious renewable energy goal. Ivanpah doesn't use the solar technology most of us think of – those dark silicon panels sitting on rooftops. The project harnesses the sun's heat, reflecting off a field of 170,000 mirrors. They shimmer across a dry, dusty valley about 5 miles from the California-Nevada state line, surrounding three 400-foot concrete towers. (Lauren Sommer / KQED)\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
