expressed concern including the potential traffic of pumps and the neighborhood character and the proposed site since the last hearing the sponsor o sponsor has ritd reduced the bumps to 8 and add a second space on steiner street and reduce the advice of the formula retail store from 10:00 a.m. to maintained the entitlement is conditional use authorization for the reconstruction of a non-common gas station and 5 thousand square feet and in excess for the convenience store and an expansion of the formula retail store the verifying was conducted and the negative declaration was issued on march telephone the document is in the

draft motion since the publication of the packet staff has an additional petition with a hundred and 34 signatures in opposition of the repair store and the department finds the reconstruction upgrade of on all used to be appropriate and will continue to provide gas services for the city this has been appropriate designed and the screening for public department finds the respect formula retail to be well-designed not a high concentration of formula retail that will reactivate the neighborhood and increase the public safety therefore the department finds this proposal desirable and recommends approval thank you.

>> commissioners that matter was heard so the project sponsor is jefferson provided an opportunity to submit any additional matters for 3 minutes. >> great project sponsor please. >> go ahead it's fine. >> commissioner fung and commissioners thank you for your time once again, i'm sunny boil our families on this property since 2010 to give you a background that is to present the project on california street since our first hearing in april 23rd we've made several changes to a teed comments from the community as well as the commissioners not only do those changes allow us to work better in the neighborhood we believe the challenging changes improve our project those a changes are the

reduction in hours from 6:00 a.m. to midnight and 20 percent reduction in the pumps and the retail location on steiner that includes a messing then level and an basement for storage the reduction in the size of the convenience store by 10 percent and reduction in storage by more than 50 percent and the redesign it fits the neighborhood character as our packets indicates the commission asked to consider the consideration was a two story building space for the gas station and additional retail opportunities opportunity after speaking with the architecture the two story self-make sense that increases in resulting of costs and in

addition after speaking with the commercial realtors the second-story spates located above the convenience store is not coveted space in my opinion we've planned to redesign all the models we understand the frustration of our tenants during this time we've been transparent and open about this change since 2010 we've not raised the rent which we set based on the 2005 rate at the previous other than had set while we've heard from the community and this commission about maintaining the service states use it didn't make sense for our project and the business after speaking from with the neighbors it is objective the traffic flow around the project is a concern the congestion that

exists today, we'll create a better flow for people to fill their cars currently, the serve station used the space for car storage on on the west side that causes automobiles to have to wait because of the of the property has been repurposed so - i guess i'm out of time so - >> you can show the diagram. >> the 3 minutes it up i understand there are changes there when we open up for public comment the commissioners may ask you to show the diaphragm.
