the lack of communication with at & t is a critical part of it. the independent study done by the neighborhood should be looked at carefully as well. i appreciate the planning staff walking us through the issues, but in my opinion based on my knowledge of how close sensitive receptors like young from birth to five children are so close to the nine antennas plus the many different restaurants and other activities especially sushi bistro which is one of my daughter's favorite restaurants. it's my neighborhood that we are talking about and my neighbors are very fearful of approval of a project like this. so i ask you to stand with me and my neighbors in rejecting this conditional use authorization decision. so i will move that we disapprove the conditional use authorization. that's item 23 and that we table items 22 and 24. >>president david chiu: supervisor mar has made a motion to disapprove the cu, second by supervisor kim. any additional from colleagues. >> mr. president if it's the desire to disapprove the appeal, it would be important to approv

community. at & t council stated "at & t also held a community outreach meeting to meet with nearby residents to answer their questions and consider their thoughts and suggestions for the site. in this way at & t made sure to select it's means to close this gap" that meeting was held in 2012 and three people attended. hardly representative of the 200 property owners that live within the 300 -foot radius. why was there such a poor showing? quite obvious. no one was properly notified. anyone i talked to could not remember this notification. within the two 2 years there has been a total lack of community engagement with at & t until the past two 2 months when their application was approved by the planning commission and the community was aware of it. next i want to mention that there is negative effect on housing. both housing element states new housing is sustainably supported and also planning code section 101.b states that affordable housing shall be preserved. both of these were necessity negated by this project. also property owners that are in the direct 32 -foot hazard zone would be unable t

at additional evidence, so it seems that's what dragged this on so long. i hope that it was something that caused them to come to something that the community can be at ease with and they can actually go to trial given that's what the majority of the community wants. >> what do you think the community can be at ease with from my time in ferguson it seems to me that nothing short of an document of officer wilson, and this case going to trial, would satisfy the community. >> likewise. i think that anything short of that would be a disappointment, but the most important thing is that it doesn't end today no matter what the announcement is. there's serious changes that need to be made, and i think the protesters have shown that they're willing to go the distance. if they don't get what they're looking for today they're going to be active to make changes to the system. >> changes like what? >> i michael, anything from changes that make up police force, a candidate that they can support at prosecutor. sign ups to make sure that they can be on the grand jury and holding officials accountable and more changes that call for or asking for our community to do more and be
