ccdc is in full support of this proposed legislation with the recommendations of supervisor peskin's office on their modifications. these are important technical changes to c.c.b., c.c.r., and crnc zoning controls. it achieves the original intent of this legislation by preserving chinatown and ensuring that there's not an encroachment of the financial district into chinatown, but most importantly, it does revitalize or help revitalize the chinatown neighborhood, grant avenue, that commercial corridor, has been decimated by covid-19 and the subsequent economic pandemic. these proposed changes will encourage community uses, bring museums, and hopefully more foot traffic to grant avenue and all of chinatown. we respectfully request that the commission support this legislation as it is an important step for bringing chinatown back to life. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. john kettle here with reuben, junius, and rose. we are representing one of the building owners in chinatown. chinatown has some of the strictest and most detailed zoning codes in the city, understanding the

i am, but i believe before i do, commissioner peskin's -- a member of commissioner peskin's staff is here to speak. >> i don't have a lot to say. i want to thank pilar for putting farther such great reports. as for one montgomery, item number 5, this was initiated by supervisor peskin on december 15, unanimously approved by the board of supervisors, approved by the mayor's office. it's really a no brainer. it's a beautiful building. just looking at it, you know. it has all the hall marks of the italian renaissance revival. willows polk is a name that is not foreign to anybody in this room. i will also remark that we did a walk-through of this project with the project sponsor of a current pending project, and it's really amazing to see the interior of this, which i also know is up for landmark designation today, and i want particularly impressed by the walk-through and their proposal to restore the light well in the main banking hall, which, for some reason, between it going from 12 stories to two stories, the light well was covered up, and i think restoring that is going to be a real

supervisor peskin, supervisor chan, and supervisor ronen. the staff has broken out that we have $100,000 going to help fund a position to help us with the application process and also help with doing our outreach for the simplification of saying this to the equity owned businesses as they are the racial equity special committee identified that we do have some significant gaps in certain areas in our legacy business program and businesses that are missing from -- not missing but not on the registry. and this position will be also helping in that particular area to increase the number of our equity businesses on the to go to grants to be distributed as one-time grants to the legacy businesses. and again, a little bit of a concern that we are having to do another grant because in issuing the grant we don't have the position fill sod this will sort of further delay the application process. but we are looking to set the grant program so that it is distributed as quickly as possible. it will not be too complicated in terms of the application proce
