supervisor mar? >>supervisor eric mar: i want to thank everyone for attending. i urge my colleagues to listen to the sentiments of my neighbors. i will be moving to not authorize this. the lack of communication with at & t is a critical part of it. the independent study done by the neighborhood should be looked at carefully as well. i appreciate the planning staff walking us through the issues, but in my opinion based on my knowledge of how close sensitive receptors like young from birth to five children are so close to the nine antennas plus the many different restaurants and other activities especially sushi bistro which is one of my daughter's favorite restaurants. it's my neighborhood that we are talking about and my neighbors are very fearful of approval of a project like this. so i ask you to stand with me and my neighbors in rejecting this conditional use authorization decision. so i will move that we disapprove the conditional use authorization. that's item 23 and that we table items 22 and 24. >>president david chiu: supervisor mar has made a motion to

supervisor mar? supervisor wiener. >> so, through the chair to supervisor kim, first of all, just to reiterate, even though by way of example [speaker not understood], the amendment, it doesn't change the definition of formula retail. it just changes what it supply to 20 location worldwide whether you started here or not. in term of the rationale for distinction, part-time worker need help and we're trying to strike the right balance. and when we talk about these small chains in term of the burden on the business and some of the flexibility that they need, that may not be the same as some of the large of the national and international changes. what my advocates of this legislation talk about, they talk about abuses happening in these smaller businesses, talk about the national and multinational. i think it's trying to strike the right balance. it's a pretty small number of business he, but for those it's pretty impactful. >> so, if i may follow through the chair, it would be helpful to kind of get an

seeing none, public comment is closed supervisor mar >> yeah. thank you everyone for the testimony and the real thoughtful comments i wanted to say that i think this is a balanced approach as as opposed to people that are supportive of this and put dices and meeting and years into the process this is one of the pyritic protections that took many people giving and taking as possible to come up with within puzzle there is one piece we'll be following this leveling the playing field for the balance in the neighborhood that people talked about is critical i think that some like chain stores and formula retail stores in neighborhoods that are food deserts for example a critical need for more types of stores especially food retail and we take into account for the other neighborhoods like north beach there's a strong sentiment of the unique character the small business owners and others who have testified today, i think it is clear that they're not saying we don't want chain stores but a balance and the neighborhood voice in the process i think the sug

we'll adapt those amendments item 3 and madam clerk if you could add supervisor mar as the author of item 3 and can i have a motion to table item number 4 >> okay we'll take that without objection. item 4 is tabled now we're working with the amended version of item number 3 so i just want to say a few things and make the amendments i'll briefly describe at the beginning so this amended version obviously no one got exactly what they wanted with the compromise and a number of things not everything is exactly the way i would have done it but we've made a lot of process in particular i was pleased to see the environmental review environmental review study i was concerned the original proposal in supervisor mar the environmental review environmental review study was manipulative broad and the formula retail establishments could get caught up in an environmental impact study for example the coffee shop literally around the corner to castro space they want a less tiny space they'll have to go through the process they have just over the minimum to quality a formula retail the last thing to r
