commissioner fung? >> commissioner fung: in terms of on going and new legislation, both local and statewide with respect to density increases, is staff aware of whether those proposed legislations have any discussions in coordination with where the a.d.u. process is? >> thank you, commissioner fung. so you are correct, there are a number of different efforts right now in terms of increasing density, upzoning, allowing for units on a property, so there's different iterations there, and the department tries to look at everything holistically. it's something that we really try to be mindful of, and even as you see in this current staff report, we're anticipating some of the changes just within the a.d.u. realm itself, but it's something we need to continue to work on, and that's the best answer that i have for you today. and i do see director hillis. i don't know if he wants to chime in further about the general information for you. >> director hillis: it's definitely something that we look at when we look

commissioner fung? >> commissioner fung: i had similar comments that commissioner diamond just made. the discussion on large homes that we've had and consistency of this commission's actions dealt with the two issues. one, did they maximize the density on that particular parcel, and secondly, was the conditional unit of a sufficient size instead of the 300 or 400 square feet that we've seen in some of these cases. in fact, it was either last week or the week before, the results of this commission's actions was to increase it to 600 square feet, so i'm supportive of this project and allowing them to do what is code allowed. i will second commissioner diamond's motion. >> clerk: very good, commissioners. there is an additional request to speak from a member of the public. shall we take that person now? >> president koppel: yes. >> clerk: go ahead, caller. you have two minutes. >> yes. my name is kirsten mccloud, and my husband and i have owned the house across the street from the project for 25 years. i w

councilman anders fung introduced the idea wednesday to require vaccine proof for anywhere where people linger and have close contact like restaurants, salons and gyms, whether they're indoor or outside while he thought it might help struggling businesses, some owners feel the opposite. we've invested in outdoor dining. we've invested in safety measures, and i think there is a limit as to what we as restaurant owners can be expected to do and my staff as well. was. me we're not very comfortable with imposing vaccine mandates at the door, especially for outdoor dining council members also questioned which businesses would be included in this, but i want to be specific to the public. you know, i'm concerned with things like restaurants. when we talk about our basket, and robbins. i'm concerned about restaurants. we talked about starbucks who serves a sandwich and who would be there to police people let a festival or exercising outside in the public park. so where does that boundary go? i guess i'm with the vice mayor. i have more questions than i have answers for on that. many residents s
