Thank you thank you. Hello the executive director of the aids foundation. I want to take a moments the memory even if erick. When tommy and i came up with the idea for the homeless lgbt shelter we had a two prong strategy. One was to procedure beds but i went to erick and if we could find space in one of his existing buildings we didnt have time to wait for a huge long process.

East soma is part of eastern neighborhoods, took part of this chunk of the western soma was essentially rezoned and replace the rest of the soma area. And well have that removed from the general plan. Western soma will essentially plug into eastern neighborhoods, which was approved and became effective in 2009. Western soma as you said was removed from that process initially, but with its adoption it will be incorporated into eastern neighborhoods in a number of ways, which i will go into in more detail. First well look at exist ing zone. Ing right now harrison street, which is somewhat flanked by i80 is a spine and everything north and northwest mixed use allowing for residential and commercial development and also in some of the alleys. South and southeast of harrison street you early have sli, service by industrial. Which is for all intents a purposes a pdr district which doesnt allow office use or housing, unless its
