Retailers, local and big box and just about everybody and nobody could make it work. Even using the global reach of our company, we couldnt make it happen. Nowhere in this country is there a shopping sent we are as many floors as westfield San Francisco center. Not in chicago, not in new york. The retail is why they succeed which is why the body amended the planning code to eliminate the need for a cup for the seventh and eighth floors and above. So we believe this investment is good for San Francisco center and mixed use buildings are inherently complementary with the office use supporting the retail and retail an amenity for the office. And we are going to do a full renovation and that includes improved lighting at the street level and the largest nordstrom in the portfolio and will remain one of the largest in the country. Letters of support including one from nordstrom and ....
From 220 post. The likelihood that a Retail Business would want a stand alone third Floor Office Space that is accessible from an alley that provides minimal foot traffic, marginal street visibility and has some Security Issues is in our opinion simply less than minuscule. On the overhead, i want to post one more image which is looking at the alley from grant street and if you see the orange box, that is where the third floor business is. Pretty tough to see. Pretty unvisible. So with all that said, nothing prevents the third floor and the upper floors being turned back into retail if at some future point that becomes viable. Project does not include any physical changes that would preclude that, so i am going to let the project sponsor speak about the actual efforts to lease this building, but before i go, in your ....
Duplicate the file so it can be amended to require electric readiness and thank you for your commitment to drafting a natural gas ban in new construction next year. While it is moving through the channels, too many buildings already approved could use fossil fuel. [please stand by]. Its a byproduct of burning. And in the home, that means gas ranges, gas generators, gas heating, every year people are killed by Carbon Monoxide buildup. So, this is your chance to get that toxic fuel out of our homes. Lets do it fairly, equitably and thoroughly. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker. Im a sof asoftwear engineera coalition of environmental groups includin including 350 an go on for a lot longer.

Parking, all of those things. And so i welcome this. And i hope we do it. Thank you. Commissioner richards. So just to be clear its nothing that you just said that i would say i violently disagree with. I did meet with supervisor moore a couple weeks ago and he asked to meet with me because when i first met him i said you should take the reigns and show sacramento that we are doing something. But i said to him two weeks ago we need to be careful that if you do things that there is some type of protection that we dont do something and then all of a sudden something rolls over us and everything that we did actually was more not because now theres some new mandate out of sacramento. We spent weeks years, on the market octavia plan. We designed it, 45 feet in the middle of the block, 55 feet at the end of the block. Got 85 feet in the middle of the block now. These are the kinds of things im talking about. We got to be careful. Thats all im saying. Thank you. Let me just add one more thing ....
