good evening, commissioners. i am in inner sunset resident. i am here in support of the proposal for a community garden. this is not for an industrial use. any other business could move a business to another space. the garden space can still be utilized with the native plants and as a community gathering space. i am not much of a public speaker. it could be better utilized for the inner sunset residents and neighboring residents as a community garden, rather than an industrial use. thank you very much.
