i'm patricia delgado from the restaurant and here to support their request for outdoor seating. i've been to the restaurant and taken my family to the restaurant. it's a good location and welcome location. there's lots of things that could be improved on the street and it's a good fit to the neighborhood. i think it's a good thing and uphold the outdoor seating. thank you. >> the clerk: thank you. any other public comment. please step forward. >> it's somewhat bitter sweet. i've been 30 feet from this place since 1969 and my family's been there since the '20s. i was one of the founding members of calle 24. i was one of the leaders with eric about the creation of a cultural district. i was one of the thought leaders about the creators of legacy businesses. something i'm very proud of. i was skeptical and remember taking a picture of the permit and calling eric and saying there's a business coming in, what are we going to do and how can we fight this. he said let's wait and see what happens. i'm glad i did because i kept seeing anna and nick walking to their business as they were
