this all started when mr. petra he wanted to offer a full menu. rather than going through the legal channels he converted the back half of a building he purchased across the street, no inspections by the health department. he's done this many years now, having his employees jay walk across noe street with food frequently with garbage in the same trip. just think of the message this would send to other restaurants in the city. prepare your food off-site for several years and just as it was going to be shut down, ask your supervisor to legalize your off-site kitchen through spot zoning. he also neglected to pay any property taxes he for five years on either the cafe or the building across the street that is in question. no other business in the city would benefit by granting legal status to this kitchen facility whose owner has [speaker not understood] for years. we merchants of the castro and upper market neighborhood are very supportive of proposed zoning change of our commercial district and sincerely hope you will strike this zoning for cafe flo
