Telecommunication Relay Services

Telephone communication is one of the most important forms of communication in society today. Due to advancements in technology,
telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing, and individuals with
a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating to more advanced telecommunications methods, both for peer-
to-peer and third-party telecommunications relay service (TRS) communications.

Telecommunications Relay Service is a telephone service that allows persons with hearing or speech disabilities to place and receive
telephone calls. TRS is available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories for local and/or long
distance calls. TRS providers - generally telephone companies - are compensated for the costs of providing TRS from either a state
or a federal fund. There is no cost to the TRS user.

What forms of TRS are available?There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and the equipment
available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY-Based TRS; Speech-to-Speech Relay Service; Shared Non-English Language Relay
Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video Relay Service. Please visit this site for detail
descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-relay-service-trs.

Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the CA is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello. This is the relay
service .. . " when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS provider, to a person who is
deaf, hard-of-hearing, or has a speech disability.

For more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people with disabilities, visit theFCC's
Disability Rights Office website.

 Ordinance to repeal a variable building line along Beaudry Avenue
 between Alpine Street and Sunset Boulevard, established under Ordinance
 No. 95,440, repealing subsequent amending Ordinance No. 101,106, the
 Project proposes two development scenarios: The Mixed­Use
 Development Scenario and the No­Hotel Development Scenario. Under
 the Mixed­Use Development Scenario, up to 737 residential units
 (including up to 76 Very Low­Income units), 180 hotel guest rooms, 48,000
 square feet of office, and 95,000 square feet of general commercial floor
 area would be constructed. Under the No­Hotel Development Scenario, up
 to 827 residential units (including up to 76 Very Low­Income Units), 48,000
 square feet of office, and 95,000 square feet of general commercial floor
 area would be constructed, the additional 90 residential units under the No­
 Hotel Development Scenario would replace the 180 hotel guest rooms
 proposed under the Mixed­Use Development Scenario and would be
 located in the same building, under either scenario, the proposed uses
 would be built within four primary structures above a screened six­level
 parking podium, which would be partially below grade and partially above
 grade, including two residential towers (Tower A and Tower B), a
 hotel/residential tower (the Sunset Building), and a commercial building
 that could include office, retail, restaurant, and parking uses (the Courtyard
 Building), separate from the primary structures, three low­rise, non­
 residential structures would be oriented towards Sunset Boulevard and
 Beaudry Avenue, in addition, a portion of the proposed residential uses
 would be located in low­rise residential buildings (not part of Towers A and
 B) dispersed throughout the eastern and southern portions of the Project
 Site around the base of Towers A and B, the existing Elysian apartment
 building, which is located on the Project Site, would remain, is not part of
 the Project and its surface parking would be relocated with a newly
 constructed parking facility, the Project also includes the removal of four
 existing vacant buildings comprising approximately 114,600 square feet of
 floor area, for property located at 1111­1115 West Sunset Boulevard.

Telecommunication Relay Services

Telephone communication is one of the most important forms of communication in society today. Due to advancements in
technology, telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing, and
individuals with a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating to more advanced telecommunications
methods, both for peer­to­peer and third­party telecommunications relay service (TRS) communications.

Telecommunications Relay Service is a telephone service that allows persons with hearing or speech disabilities to place and
receive telephone calls. TRS is available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories for local and/or
long distance calls. TRS providers ­ generally telephone companies ­ are compensated for the costs of providing TRS from either a
state or a federal fund. There is no cost to the TRS user.

What forms of TRS are available?There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and the equipment
available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY­Based TRS; Speech­to­Speech Relay Service; Shared Non­English Language Relay

Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video Relay Service. Please visit this site for detail

Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the CA is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello. This is the relay
service .. . " when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS provider, to a person who is
deaf, hard­of­hearing, or has a speech disability.
