. >> linda chapman. my personal opinion is that from what i'm hearing, the weight of the secretary's standards are being applied, probably not very practical or beneficial. on a tour, we stood in front of one of these buildings where they had stripped of everything that had been applied -- the shingles or whatever -- and they were putting on gingerbread. we stood down there and applauded the people who were doing it. i suppose if it were in an historic district, that would not be allowed. i agree that there is a difference between making alterations to a landmark, which may have to be very closely controlled, and trying to restore something where in a city, we have fire, you know? the photographs disappeared. entire archives of photographs disappeared. records and so on. we should not say that because that happened, we cannot do anything. sometimes, there is a better way than having one position and another position and fighting it out. there can be more nuanced work on. my main position is about there b

. >> linda chapman of a conditional use of alcohol licenses. i do not want to presume to tell you, but i heard a lot of confusion about what your authority was or was not from the city attorney's office and staff. and i just want to reiterate as best i can understand from having gone to abc and consulted with abc, you are the ones that have the additional authority. on the land use, because as i mentioned come if you say no it should not be here, it will not. they will defer to you with regard to whether or not it can be here and what are the conditions of the conditional use. they cannot proceed until your conditional use condition has been done. i suppose when you say you understand sometimes you understand you cannot make a decision on alcohol, but maybe that is an area where there are not conditional use. there are areas like market street or something. in our area all of them are conditional uses. you could stop all of them dead or at least restrict hours like you will do on one today i am glad to see. that is your authority. some of them

. >> linda chapman. i will be speaking with relation to knob hill position on the masonic temple and other matters for myself. commissioner miguel, when you're having so much trouble with the planning staff, knob hill as a seamless relationship in the 1970's and 1980. it was wonderful. it was not involved in land use in those days. now it is not a force to be reckoned with. luckily, i have been able to put in touch knob hill association with a couple of those planners that we had such a great relationship with who are now retired. i think there will be helping you to be convinced in the future that what went on at the masonic temple was a violation of the conditional use and as a violation of the zoning. as you know, when you have violations, that is not a non confirming years, legal nonconforming -- conforming use, it is because the zoning changes. the same situation you have with the art academy where you try to do enforcement after years when enforcement not happen because of lack of resources. in the
