ms. i'd like to highlight two items in a letter. one relates to section 1006.3, regarding notice of certification of appropriateness hearings in historic districts. notices require -- was recommended to be required for all owners and occupants within 300 feet. and that's even for a non-contributory building so if you're in an historic district, you're not a contributory building. you want to do something to your front porch, you've got to spend the thousands of dollars to go out and and do a physical survey of properties within 300 feet in order to develop a list of occupants because that's the only source of obtaining those signatures. the second item is section 1006.7. the standards for certificate of appropriateness. the h.p.c. recommended that all certificates of appropriateness shall comply with the secretary of interior standards. we think that's really tying the hands of the landmark commission. there was a property recently on townsend street that allowed a four-story addition at

ms. jackson indicated that one concept that other cities have turned to is an opt out type of provision. if you don't want to live in one of these districts, despite the best intentions of the commission, of the board, or the initiating force, you don't have to. the city of houston, texas, right now, they just passed their own article 10. and i think in 11, their equivalent, in houston. the debate there was to make sure you're not demolishing historic resources. but they have a provision that possibly will result in rolling back some of their historic districts. they're going to have to revalidate all of their existing historic districts. and no new historic districts unless you have 2/3 of all the homeowners and property owners saying we want to live under these rules. they also had to address issues around paint, making sure people aren't saying they're paint is not historic or as ms. jackson said that chain linked fence not historic. i've seen instances where people get liens on their

he is voting for me, marlene tran, and ms. jackson. i want to give a shout out to others. there are a bunch of neighborhood candidates not here at the table tonight. there are candidates at the supper table. we know there are folks who've moved into the district to run. that is fine. that is democracy at work. i have no problem with that. we do need to ask one question that they need to answer. the real question is if you are going to move your home to run, i trust that you know the issues. i want to make sure that you are always going to keep the interests of the district of heart and not your own. if you move your home to run, how will you vote? >> mr. lacy. >> we need to make sure that whoever we support as a second or third person on the ballot would have a commitment to the district and the important issues we're discussing and also the ability to execute when they take office. it is another thing to know the issues and another thing to build a consensus necessary to get some of the issues passed and tackled when you reach city hall. those of the type of folks i would

jackson and others have illuminated we want to be sure that communities that traditional not informed about what's going on are coming out to these hearings, really understand the implications, are in a position to essentially vote on whether or not they want to see this happen. i think that is a really important clarification that must happen. i would put that actually in addition to 2/3 of the board of supervisors because i think it's really important in the disenfranchised communities. we've seen it through the shipyard project and other projects that even though you might see numbers, there is still a small minority of people involved and know what's going on. i'd hate for to us pass legislation that people are not adequately informed about that impacts their ability to stay in their community or improve their homes and other things along those lines. so i mean my concerns here are just more how this informs the process, the planning process of the other entitlement issues we have to look at and also the impact on communities of color we've discussed because what is a cultural res
