Attorney. Again, the plaza is the Largest Group of individuals. It is a market of upwards of 120 artists on saturdays. It is a community, and it is there because of these agreements. Commissioner santacana so thats not my question. What does your department view to be the limit . So he says he was in a parking space and wasnt selling. So if youre saying that the view is its while youre selling, then anything that happened while he wasnt selling wouldnt fall under this code of conduct. I mean, technically, hed probably already signed into the map already, so i included that in the materials that went to the original hearing .

Unfortunately, i live on the side of town and they planted palm trees all the way down the street. They look horrible. I mean, they look miserable.
