mr. bley or mr. fung in any way. i spend a lot of time at the national archives in san bruno, historical stuff, and at that early times of the turn of the century, 605 kearny street was not considered part of chinatown. i spoke with one of our commissioners and is now considered part of chinatown. i have no objections -- basically, i have no objections to the construction, but it really looks bad to have the front of the building -- it is a fairly wealthy current structure. w height be set back a bit so the actm1(hj preserves the architecture of the original building. thank you. president peterson: thank you. is there any other public comment? seeing none at -- seeing none, commissioners, the matter is submitted. fung:ru8n commissioners, during the last that i would probably take back, and that is the statement that i felt the clock started with the recording of the variants -- excuse me, the special conditions. that is probablyñj not a good point to have made in a public body, and that the recording is done and dependent upon the permit holders whenever he wanted to do that. prior to the discussion tonight, it was really apparent to me that the appropriate time when the clock started was the issuance of the variance, and in that event, it's still occurred within the timing of the three years for the life of the conditional use. therefore, i feel that the new issues brought forth by the applicant for a rehearing are not appropriate in this particular instance, and therefore, that we should not grant the rehearing request. commissioner garcia: i would agree. mr bley has his hand up, madam president, but i don't think you get another bite at this apple, mr. bley. the issue was raised as to whether there was new material that would affect the outcome of this hearing and/or there would be a showing of manifest injustice, and neither one of those were shown. it's seems to be the main issue has to do with when the clock starts ticking, and that has been where it -- very well covered by commissioner fung and i will reiterate what was said by mr. sanchez, and that starts ticking when it the letter of decision is granted, and that state does not cause this c.u. to expire because three years has now passed. i intend to uphold -- i don't know what the problem is tonight with why people don't want to pay any heed to the rules. there are reasons for the rules and it has to do with courtesy and orderliness. at any rate, i intend to not grant the rehearing request. vice president goh: i would vote for a rehearing request on the grounds of manifest injusti
