this business is necessary and desirable and whether it's compatible with the neighborhood character. i'll just say there's been tremendous letters and petitions but especially coming from slope elementary school, -- middle school -- before four-year-old academy that's right across the street st. medius academy and others. numerous neighbors and good associations saying it is not necessary. i think there was a chart will be some of the businesses that sell e cigarettes that are within close proximity so i know it's contested by the project sponsor. so, whether it's necessary or desirable i don't agree with my colleague.. i think the question of who the establishments and the use of the new warming of the stones in the basement of a business to me is a this is a concern of me given the fact that i know we don't have any near enough staff to monitor the new technology and i think from

some of the testimony that those who support mr. keyes business -- i just want to say i think it's wonderful when a family supported by the neighborhood will start a business -- i want nothing but success for you as i expect that the business will be approved by this body is a was by the planning commission -- i just want to say pink about your babies and the targeting by multibillion dollar industries of his future. the normalization of smoking vaporizing and e cigarettes by your opening the business. i just want you to think about that and to reference rutland gordon from the hillside church choir respect so much for his work empowering people from the ingleside and -- neighborhood,

i will just say for equity and social justice i think what we do as a board is think about not only land-use decisions like were making today but also the public health of vulnerable low-income communities of color that will be impacted on ocean avenue and throughout our neighborhoods. so, when we pass legislation like the cigarette legislation that slip by use of color or limiting tobacco permits in low income neighborhoods it's about social justice and equity and when derek smith and the great staff in the department of public health give us all the data especially data that shows e cigarettes are not excepted method of quitting cigarettes, nobody except that i think from everything that from thomas gone down to derek and the staff that we work with every day to the tobacco free coalition, it's very clear to us that is very harmful. so i'm with supervisor cohen in supporting the appeal and i really appreciate it: for bringing so many issues and

researchers and professors from ucsf bid here with us and our spectrally disagree of my colleague norman yee and urge us to think beyond artistic but to think about the implications that are decisions make for the future of our city. i just want to say also the department of public health is taken off a curb campaign will raise awareness especially in municipal and bus stations and keep it out of those i think it's important that music is like my daughter and others are aware but also churches like ingleside presbyterian on others aware of these campaigns so we can support them to raise awareness. but i can but hope that mr. e is successful in his effort at nothing but respect my colleague norman yee from district 7 binary spectrally

discreet and i urge on nodal vote on his motion. thank you >> thank you. supervisor ferroelectric shutter >> thank you colleagues. however think supervisor cohen and mar this one is shouting to the mainly i think this was after my sister, have a different opinion than supervisor yee does right now. understand the comment of supervisor cohen and mar of the broader effects at the same point, i do believe showing deference to the district supervisor [inaudible] this is one storefront. in district 7. so, today i'm there be supporting my colleagues norman yee. this is his district but again this was a tough one for me because i know that having been my dessert of feel differently that same point in time that was the case of appreciate my colleagues deference as well it was in district 2. so, what i will be supporting supervisor yee motion said >> supervisor campos

>> think. i wanted everyone who spoke on this item. assuming appreciate the passion of people who have who made concerns about e cigarettes. and by the way connected interesting the new trend of bringing babies to these appeals i hope that continues because q babies were brought to this chamber. but, i appreciate with supervisor mar is saving but mr. d is the think about his job. i don't know about that an issue. i have a lot of [inaudible] because i do have concerns about the proliferation of easiness and actually agree with supervisor ferroelectric this way my district i don't know that i would be supporting this kind of business coming in. with that said, i do think at the

end of the day with these kinds of issues, at least for me when it's close and i could go either way, i do provide deference to the district supervisor. so, it is out of that deference that'll be supporting supervisor yee's motion. i think this is a tough one and like i said there's anyone who's thinking opinion is that of district 9 i certainly would have a different perspective. as disparate as district supervisor can but i think in this case supervisor yee knows district 7 better than i do and so with that, and i know that in the end we all have the same objective and single year, but i deference to my cocoa be supporting them >> thank you. before i move forward with supervisor yee political speakers and opportunity would happen had before yet to speak on this matter. starting with supervisor wiener

>> thank you can position on almost completing your first name. congratulations. i don't always agree but i actually in addition to meditate the same position. i also think he articulated my perspective [inaudible] very clearly. i am not a fan of you cigarettes. i enthusiastically support supervisor mar's brother was stationed and i think there's a lot of issues with e cigarettes. some of these eastern that shops i don't think about different than a sum of the head shops that we see. i think in terms of the it's always appropriate to consider whether additional sections are warranted or how

we should approach that or whether they should be buffer zone around schools whatever the case may be. but, the rules are -- this is allowed with a conditional use. every commercial core door is unique and its unique ecosystem with unique needs and challenges and strengths as district supervisor were all responsible for really understanding those complexities and so when it comes to one storefront and one commercial core door core door in a particular district, the door district supervisor matters a lot and it's not just the blind deference. we oftentimes a time to vote against district supervisors.. this is not some sort of blanket bog was kind of deference but i know that in

dealing -- we all deal with the individual very small storefront with a huge [inaudible] around it as district supervisor joseph a story to understand in a way all those very different various complexities and unique complexities in that core door so, i am going to support supervisor yee's motion to accept the modified conditional use. i will say, as a supervisor federal supervisor campos i do so not enthusiastically because again, e cigarettes are a problem. it's a growing problem. it's not going to go away. i do think it warrants continuing attention to whether we need additional zoning controls and health code controls to make sure problem does not grow.

>> thank you. supervisor christiansen. >> i think that the members in the gallery here is that were struggling with this issue. i think you've seen us talking amongst ourselves and try to figure out the right thing to do. we did this very seriously. but the problem i think that is not yours. with two very earnest good of people to very nice groups of people for whom the outcome of this vote matters a lot. it's pretty easy to see both sides of the issue. yet, that you're all the same we wish some other business opportunity for your venture. but the real [inaudible] lies in some ways with the city government or with us with the department in that this vaporizing is that a [inaudible] things of being a surly there going to be you can

see them changing. as often is the case, city government regulations don't often keep up with the changes that we see in our society. i think the thing that's challenging for me unbearable for this and this can be in headline that i support vaporizing. like my colleagues, i don't. i'm an 18-year-old nephew that's totally into it i know she was out playing basketball or studying or doing 100 of those other things is close to be doing or not hang out in a hookah lounge. so i completely understand the concerns about this. on the other hand, vacancy has negative effects. so to have a strip where you have seven vacant buildings, that means no eyes on the street. no lights on. when it's dark. nobody is looking after the adjacent properties. i know that's not good for a neighborhood either. so, the more tasteful and respectful neighborhood more like the

neighbors want them this could appear to be probably the longer it will last. it's also important to me that this is not a supervisor cohen in an area where there are already six or eight of these. it's not a peripheral oration could is, first foray. i understood why that's a concern with the type of people it will attract the types of businesses it will attract. i understand that but it is at the moment isolated in a sea of emptiness and of emptiness does not benefit the neighborhood. i think the thing is from a big picture point of view we don't think this is a great direction for the city. i agree with supervisor [inaudible] comment i see the two-year-old baby in a sea kind of the world to live in when he's 18 years old on oprah doesn't involve hang around in a hookah lounge but for me, the little picture is about a small

businessman who is invested family money in the enterprise under a certain set of guidelines that existed at the time. the fact that we have finally got up and decided to change those guidelines that you found on this activity is not as much your fault as much ours. as the other supervisors have said, i'm a newbie here. so supervisor eat with tics preference weighs heavily with me. and so we taken that into consideration in supporting him on this. >> thank you. supervisor yee >> i appreciate everyone's comments on this issue. the comments of whether supporting or not supporting went through my mind every few minutes when i go to sleep. i do think about this very heavily in terms of what are we talking about when we talk about conditional use

and what are we talking -- what legislation what laws do we have on the books that have to follow. we create some recently. to basically say that we should -- those that smoke or use these e cigarettes need to follow the same rules that we have for cigarettes. tobacco use. i think it's incumbent regardless of the result of this particular boat that we work together to tighten up the laws that we really want for our cities. it's hard for me to project from this particular when use issue. we don't have the laws [inaudible] the land-use. so, i'm going -- i artie thought about several things that we do -- that i can actually move us towards the

path of reducing the usage or at least accessibility of these type of items from people. one [inaudible] we have seven vacancies right on the block. if this were to open up as a business today, doesn't mean that by tomorrow would have six more applicants? probably not but there's a chance maybe another one would come up. so it's important for me to look at a legislation to make sure that we do some cover measures in terms of insight clustering just like we did with some places in the city with medical marijuana. so, i appreciate again everyone's thoughts on

this. it wasn't an easy decision on my part. i'm sure it's not an easy decision they have intimate in a moment. thank you very much >> okay. not seen any other board members on the roster, we have a motion before us to table item number 23 and 25 and approve item number 24 as amendment. mdm. clerk can you please call the roll >> of those i could quick combos i do but read i do put christiansen i can quit. supervisor: to protect supervisor: no felt i could quick came with it i did click supervisor mark click i could quick came with it i wiener i he would take i there are nine i would check with supervisor:
