we're the most liberal group in the neighborhood -- that's beyond what the neighborhood can bear, beyond what is appropriate. and so we're asking you, to exclude that. there is something very self-serving and ill logical about that statement and it gives us pause, makes us suspicious and we're counting on you to support us and to hear us. thank you. >> hi, i'm patrick wolf. i actually personally voted in favor of legalizing cannabis and our appeal it's not against distribution or the location under consideration. but at the same time, it's not reefer madness for citizens to insist that our government protect us against the harms of cannabis distribution and i would note that different cultures in the city have strong feelings about cannabis, some strongly in favor, some strongly against, which all of us should

respect. we submitted several conditions we believed were sensible to protect the neighborhood. these conditions include that it not open before 9:00 a.m. in the morning or between 2:30 or 4:00 in the afternoon when hundreds of school children are walking along irving street, restriction on store front display of edibles or other products enticing to children, that the dispensary provide adequate security control and they should comport itself as a medical dispensary. we said rules developed by the board should be applied here so the dispensary doesn't get special treatment. we did not do exhaustive study of the other localities, we used commonsense. we welcome suggestions that might address what we think are reasonable concerns. these concerns are that children be protected. that selling drugs not attract

crime. that traffic issues, especially for heavy cannabis sales to be addressed. and neighborhood residents not be subjected to second hand smoke. the marketing and distribution of all legal drugs, tobacco, alcohol, pharmaceutical, is regulated. the same will be true of cannabis. as you work to design the right regulations, i have three specific recommendations for you. first, please avoid symbolism and focused instead on details that matter. for example, in the case of irving street along the commercial strip between 19 and 26th avenue, whether the dispensary is 600 or 1,000 feet near the school is irrelevant given that in neither case, young children will pass it each day. instead we have hours of

operation, enhanced security could make the difference in safety of children and the public perception of safety, both of which matter. second, please establish measurable metrics to determine how regulations are working with a practical framework for remediation. it's not only good governance, but good politics that could move it away from an adversarial tone today. and third, finally the please think outside of the retail box. cannabis is a lightweight, compact high value commodity. it is a perfect product for delivery. imagine the scenario. if cannabis were only allowed to be delivered from, but could go to anywhere in the city, then a thriving delivery business, smartly regulated could supply all the cannabis we want while moving us away from the endless fight over each store.

thank you for your time. >> supervisor breed: thank you very much. i'm going to ask members of the public to please respect our board rule. there is no clapping, no audible expression. if you support something, you can use your spirit fingers. if you don't, do thumb's down, but respect the board rules. we want to be respectful to one another. thank you for your presentation. i will now open this up to public comment. if there are any members of the public who would like to speak in support of the appeal, please come forward at this time. you can like up to the right if you're in support of the appeal. first speaker. >> thank you, madame president. my name is richard. for the last hour i heard so

many supervisors introducing legislation for the benefit of childcare for our children. when you vote up or down for this appeal, that opening a marijuana shop in the sunset neighborhood, i hope you'll vote -- your vote is for the benefit of our children. no secondhand smoke will hurt our children. thank you. >> supervisor breed: next speaker, this is for anyone who wants to speak to oppose the cannabis club, the irving street property. >> on the irving street business corridor, there are according to a recent count, 104 retail

businesses operating in store fronts along irving. of this number, 15 can be considered units and larger corporations, 13 banks, wall greens, good will and 12 store fronts are vacant. the remainder, 77 is what is considered small businesses owners are not able to attend this meeting today because they need to monitor their stores. a significant number of these businesses owners have asked me to represent them here, many who have signed the letter examples pressing -- expressing the concern of their cannabis on their revenue. i shall submit this if allowed. i have received the signatures of the business owners and i can leave it with the supervisor if she likes and you can read the testament so i don't have to. >> supervisor breed: thank you, next speaker, please. >> we have one minute or two minutes? >> one minute.

well, please consider what -- i live on 26th avenue, half a block south of golden gate park. please consider what will happen when you retail cannabis facility, opens to serve the recreational marijuana rirmentsz of the -- requirements of the thousands of vacationing visitors. stores this close to the park would attract diverse travelers and happy campers. i don't think that usage restrictions would be of any value in this case and our children would quite possibly be going to school or coming home with contact highs. my thought is that this location is at a sensitive junction with the desires of the transients and visitors are incompatible with the citizens' quality of life. thank you. >> supervisor breed: next speaker, please.

>> i am stella cahill, i'll a longtime resident of the district. you are elected officials who have promised to represent persons who voted for you. but you have accepted favors from the cannabis industry. you have accepted monies from the cannabis industry. you have made deals and agreements with the cannabis industry. there is no benefit or need for the sunset district to have a cannabis dispensary. and we don't want it. but you voted for the proverbial fat calf and to benefit yourselves. shame. shame on you. thank you.

>> supervisor breed: next speaker. >> president breed, and supervisors. i'm a resident of the sunset district. and i'm a resident of san francisco, they do not allow gun stores and we should not have mcd in the sunset district. many residents in the sunset district do not desire nor do we have the characteristics for mcd in the sunset district. >> supervisor breed: next speaker, please. >> my name is panda wong, i'm a retired executive of kaiser. i retired last year. throughout my career i have learned that medical doctors deserve our utmost respect. the opening of irving mcd is

obvious disregard for the medical doctors. we need to experience of a medical doctor care and supervision. by having mcd at irving street we're announcing to the medical community that we as patients we can make the decisions ourselves, we don't need the doctors. is this what we want to tell our doctors with many years of medical experience an training? any drug has its benefit and side effects. the same with marijuana. are we saying that people that seek marijuana, that need marijuana, their medical doctors have failed them? >> supervisor breed: thank you. next speaker, please. please come forward.

hi, brought everyone a cookie. you're ok to take it from me next year. next year, it's a concern. i love san francisco, but it doesn't have a to be cannabis city. it is good in many ways. i've been resident in sunset district in 32 years. my kids hang out on irving street. they do project at the library and they hang out, no problem. but with the creation marijuana is a concern. you could buy it as easy as coffee. that's a concern. one day i went back to the house after work and smelled marijuana from -- the first thing i think of was my kids. they were perfectly ok. it came out to be from my neighbor. luckily, that neighbor moved out. whatever the consequences, everyone has to face it. not just -- that's what we're coming here, because this is the

good shape of everybody. >> supervisor breed: thank you, next speaker, please. >> we stand pledge allegiance, that mean you got to serve the people to listen to our voice, we cry out loud, no mcd in sunset district. each community is different. our community don't like this kind of business. there are lots of old people to come forward, they're too afraid. you put a lot of money to irving city, but now is so bad, this kind of business in the central district. don't alone this business in the sunset district. >> supervisor breed: thank you,

next speaker, please. >> i'm mary, i would like to the board of supervisors to think about the tobacco industry. you know how bad tobacco is. but decades ago they claimed to be nonaddictive and not harmful, lo and behold we know the truth right now. there is so much unknown about the cannabis industry. so i urge you to take the -- set up high standards. we do not want medical marijuana. irving street is very busy, foot traffic, car traffic area. and many children come in and out after school, before school, so please, no mcd in the irving street and no recreation marijuana. learn from the tobacco industry.

>> thank you, next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm a parent of two young adults. my kids love to hang out along the irving street corridor. their friends, they are all close-knit and hang out with the relatives around the area. and there is no access problem for the sunset area. just cross the park five minutes and this one. you say you're disgusted by corporate money. this is one place where the supervisors have been putting family inferior to the tobacco money. so, please, use your judgment and support family first and use that only 13% children in san francisco and certainly we hope

that you will encourage more children to stay in the city, and not because of the expansion -- >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good evening, i'm a longtime resident of sunset. no mcd. we're not talking about one or six. we are saying no. this simply answer, yes or no. why it takes so long, a few year to fight, we're still fighting for this reason. one reason. it's our government serve us or people to accept what you want? why making this so complicated? so to understand, it is no mcd. we are crying for help. peace. no mcd. >> supervisor breed: thank you

for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good evening. everyone. >> supervisor breed: next speaker, please. >> good evening, i represent center, located just about 100 feet from the proposed dispensary. this is too close for comfort. last week, we are to call police to remove pot smoker right from our sidewalk. so kids didn't have anything to breathe with.

so, to us, that's too close tore comfort again. please. >> supervisor breed: thank you -- >> can i ask a question? >> yeah. can i ask a question? a childcare center, i couldn't hear you. >> yes, it's a childcare center. >> where is it located? >> 22nd avenue irving, right basically on the corner. >> thank you. >> supervisor breed: thank you, next speaker, please. i'm reading this letter on behalf of the two bhoks away. as own are of music city, which has been offering the music to children and teenagers for over ten years, have 120 students coming weekly, i hope that you will apply the same principle in the report and mcd be open.

we are concerned about a close approximation and exposing our students to marijuana on a highly popular stretch of commercial zone on irving street. shopping or going to the restaurant, we believe these are very same concerns that promote you to make the report on november 2nd. i hope you will support appeal -- >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good evening, supervisors president breed, i'm brian young, a san francisco resident. i have photos here -- >> supervisor breed: tv? >> ok, that shows what sunset is like. every day we have children going

historic -- missed by the city of san francisco. -- from dispensary was not extend to 1,000 feet. so today, we have a new opportunity to correct the mistake by ensuring we do not allow the dispensary in the heart of the area. so many children. i encourage you to wait and look into our heart when you make the decision. and supervisors, i would ask that you remember that their future is in your hand. i would like to ask you to take this opportunity to make your voice heard that you'll stand up for those powerless and to support the appeal and disallow the dispensary at this location. thank you. >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please.

ma'am, pull the microphone close. >> my name is rose, i live just a block away from the proposed mcd, challenges with traffic that new mcd will cause. you see from the picture, the neighborhood is already congested and finding parking can be a major problem on a daily basis, keep in mind, this is not including shoppers from our town. you can see that the map, that from the picture, that people are double parked and parking in front of other residents' driveway. they don't have to come to irving street, because it's easier and convenient for them to go into chinatown because

parking is possible. it's right next to the mcd door, this will cause -- >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> my name is -- i respect politicians 64, however i oppose the irving mcd open at this specific location, because since this area have higher number of young students visiting here. there are students from jefferson, ste. anne, lincoln, lowell, irving, on foot every day after school, weekend and holiday. there are -- across the street, 100 feet from mcd. we have reached limit. the student is 100 feet away

from there. we don't want to take any chances that put all these persons at risk when mcd in our neighborhood. we don't want our children to be following the wrong like this. we want to protect our children. we want to make -- >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> my name is tony, i live two blocks approximately from the mcd. i'm here to brief you on the merchant strike that occurred on december 1 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. am sunset residents and irving merchants went on strike and protested in front of the mcd. between the irving street between 21st avenue and 24th

avenue. overall, approximately 85, yes, 85% of owners, managers and workers closed their stores during shop hours to protest this upcoming mdc proposal. i would ask you to please carefully consider is this irving street neighborhood and business community wanting this mcd or not? i encourage you to vote no, this is not a good fit for irving street or the businesses and community in the area. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> good evening, supervisors, my name is jag, we are both that are against the proposed mcd for 25 years. we just want to give you fact that in october we collect -- petitions from all the merchants, between 21 to 25th

avenue. there are 61 out of 62 merchants are opposing to have mcd there. there are is only one in neutral position. 61 are against. and there is not even one to support the mcd store. we know that the merchants on irving street should enhance the neighborhood, not detract from it. and opening mcd will scare the customers have we have customers, if they are opening mcd there -- >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> [inaudible]

the most busy section is going to open a store for marijuana. >> supervisor breed: continue. >> i am very, very concerned. i'm concerned that because right now there is businesses moving out and this business is related to our daily lives and this businesses are getting less and less. and i have to walk farther and i have to pick rides that are physical for me and it's giving me a lot of inconvenience in my daily life. >> supervisor breed: thank you very much for your comments. thank you. next speaker, please. >> to members of board of supervisors, thank you for your service. i'm the pastor of ste. anne church and school, after school, many of kids end up in irving

street, i'm expressing our concern and the concern of parents, because of the dangers of cannabis use among adolescent. while we are sympathetic with those who use cannabis for medical reasons and respect the right of those who choose to use it responsibly, we feel it's not appropriate to have cannabis dispensaries in family neighborhoods, so please vote now to opening it on irving street and in all family neighborhoods. >> supervisor breed: thank you for the comments. next speaker. >> good evening, supervisors, i'm a parent of three children and i'm not going to go into details and statistics about why the mcd would not be beneficial for the residents of the sunset, but i do want to -- i came here to support -- to say to the supervisors and to urge you not

to vote for this and as i said, i'm here to support the people who are against it. thank you very much. >> supervisor breed: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, i'm a resident of the sunset since 2005. and sharing the position with a lot of people who say we have empathy and sympathy for people using marijuana for medicinal purposes, i believe this application is a trojan horse for eventual recreational usage and the believe that the principles of the operation have shared that publicly with us in conversation. i think that is the wrong place for a recreational dispensary. and that's what we'll be discussion in 2018, if they get their conditional use permit approved for medical use, we know they're going to move to

apply for recreational use. so i would propose that we don't allow them to do that. thank you so much. >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good evening. it's with the utmost humility that i am here in your appearance. i started out life in 1949 in the sunset. i married man whose grandfather was the last spanish governor of california. sunny jim walsh gave my uncle his first job when he took over his father's teamster contract at age 16 with the city, because my mother was the daughter of a widow, he then drove my mother to a job downtown. know what you are capable of doing. the last time i appeared in your presence was to get the stop sign on linkle way and dan wright was in charge.

and then with the mcd opening, it would be unsafe for the kids going home by themselves because there would be many other people from all over the city, from outside of the city, come over to this store to buy the marijuana. so please reconsider for having mcd in our neighborhood. thank you. >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. >> good evening, supervisors. may name is della. i am a mother of three young kids. -- we have been residents in the sunset district since 2004. irving street is a very vital part of our lives. we go there for grocery shopping, for meeting friends, having coffee. having meals in restaurants and my kids love to go there.

my two teenage kids love to go there after school. and even weekends, meet their friends there for bubble tea or snacks. and my third kid, soon to be teenager also, loves to hang out with the other kids there. even though the proposed site is 600 feet or 1,000 feet away from the schools, there is jefferson, ste. anne, all those kids love to go down the streets and my kids are some of those that like this hang out in that area. it is a neighborhood for us. and having mcd there is very bad idea for the neighborhood. >> supervisor breed: thank you. >> good evening, san francisco supervisor. my name is sara. i am retired rn.

you're talking about parents, working mothers, forced to work. when the mother is working, they're wondering where the kids are going, going to the tea store, or to mcd? so they can't focus. also you're talking about water, you're talking about mcd is worse than water. let me read this to you. according to the department of health and human services, food and drug administration, cannabis smoke contains many toxic -- >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm a retired preschool teacher from the unified school district. i have been living in that area near irving for almost 23 years.

there are large numbers of centers and have proven that the mcd at this location is inappropriate and undesirable and not welcome. this is conditional use permit. please respect our voice. as parents we know that events of the marijuana are out of the parents' control during our absence. due to the peer pressures, children might be subjected to marijuana toxicity and neurological damage. how can i not worry? this is the picture that i took on -- sorry -- this is the picture that was taken of the location on the 23rd, on the bus stop, it's a high school student taking marijuana.

we all knows that they're under age, but how can they have access to it? >> supervisor breed: thank you for the comments. next speaker, please. >> good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the board of supervisors, thank you for allowing me to speak. i am neither against or in favor of this issue. i have been just asking, begging jeff, the director of the department of housing to help me with housing. no, no, let me finish -- >> supervisor breed: -- >> i don't want to live on the streets, but i think i'm afraid that all of these people that are here that live in the irving area and sunset, they're afraid if drug users come to their neighborhood, there are going to be tents in their neighborhood.

>> supervisor breed: please address your comments this way. >> that is what they're afraid of, ok. now most of them are asian and most of them know of the ravages that the opoid war and the -- the opium war in china. >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. >> i'm just questioning, why when i was lining up that gentleman over there telling me stand no more. i don't think it's good. i mean, it's nice for him to say that, ok. so marijuana, for those people that it doesn't hurt children, it's not true. marijuana can cause difficulty thinking and problem solving.

coordination and concentration. to teens, the impact means lower academic success and dropping out of school. i'm asking you to increase the distance between the shop, the mcd shops and the school, and also including -- school in the law. i urge you to vote no on the appeal on irving street. for people -- >> supervisor breed: thank you. next speaker please. >> my name is -- i live in the irving street area for over 50 years. i love the area. and that's a lot of children. after school, saturday, sunday, they go over there for tea. they go there for -- and all those things around there.

cause if mcd opens? i live by irving and use irving daily. and irving becomes chinatown. please honor our request not to allow mcd opening on 2165 irving street. thank you. >> supervisor breed: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening, supervisors, my name is alice. i have collected signature for opposing the opening of barbary coast dispensary. however, 95% of them have signed and told me they're afraid their daily business will be badly affected with the opening of the mcd on irving street. >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please.

>> good evening. i'm here -- i'm -- community since this location is so close to the golden gate park, we worry that once the mcd is open, here, it becomes a major distributor for the tourists because it's so convenient as a result. the merchants and the neighbors will suffer and jeopardized. negative impact on business on irving street, barbary coast will negatively effect businesses on irving, pushing up rent and changing the character of the neighborhood. >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please.

>> [speaking foreign language] >> translator: supervisor, i am not resident of the irving rather, i live in the 11th district, i'm coming here today to show my support for people of irving street. it's important that you understand just to open a marijuana shop making a lot of money for the proprietor, but

hurting thousands of the residents is not something i would like to see, so please use your conscience. >> supervisor breed: thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is danny. marijuana dispensaries are not right for the irving street location. we all know there are many kids that congregate in the area and kids can easily get affected by the exposure to the marijuana dispensaries. just before i came here, i dropped off my kids and their friends. they asked where i was going, i said i'm going to a hearing on marijuana dispensaries. the first thing they said, was ooh, i'd like to try some. that's the kind of reaction we get from kids. they don't know any better. so, i do not think having a

dispensary on irving street where so many kids is going around is right. thank you. >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker please. >> i'm opposing the dispensary without the supervision of physicians and that is not right because we are talking about having a medical care without the supervision of doctors and doctors have a lot of experience, training and bedside manner. we need to think about that. and that the emergency room -- >> supervisor breed: i'm going to pause your time for just a minute. to members of the public, could you please not have conversations in the audience. please take your conversations outside. thank you. -- this is not one minute yet. i'm afraid that there will be

long-term emergency room jammed up because of the lack of supervision from doctors, and then people that really need emergency room care will be waiting there and died. have we thought about the high care health care costs? the loss of life? and the potential loss of -- loss of life and lawsuits and also please consider the welfare of the people involved for your conscience sake, thank you. >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good evening, supervisors. my name is -- i live in san francisco sunset district almost 30 years. we don't need mcd on irving. people need marijuana, they can

buy online. they don't need to open mcd on irving. they just want the money. want to make money. and hurt our kids' future. please, please, don't issue the permit for them. thank you. >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> hi, i live in the neighborhood where the proposed mcd will be located. i have two children that go to school located in the vicinity of the mcd. i've experienced people near and dear to me being addicted to cannabis. that was not a good experience for myself and then. i'm afraid if we have mcd in the neighborhood, even with the correct education warnings that, my kid will become addicted to cannabis, but being in the same site every day as they walk past it to school. it is sending a message to my

children that substance is fine and ok despite the warnings. for my children's healthy future i would rather not take that choice. also, do we need to experiment with our children's future? please do not allow the mcd to be located so near our schools. >> supervisor breed: thank you for the comments. before the next speaker, are there any other members that would like to address the board on behalf of the appellant? come to the line on the right-hand side. next speaker. >> excuse me? >> supervisor breed: it's on, ma'am. >> ok.

>> talking about conflict of interest. are we hearing the fair vote from our supervisors? we have a lot of legislation that we do not hear anything in favor of our residents. we're the ones who vote you. when we have mcdonald's trying to open in sunset district, we do not need to define the ages of children, 0 to 5. children are children. are we trying to define in such a way we let them go into our district. when we have sunset district for commercial street cancel use approval, those are defined by law that we need our residents' approval to have any business coming in, including liquor store. however, we do not have any voices. we do not haveo
