this is sort thisa pdr area with industrial stuff. we're concerned about the increase in our business, whether that will affected. we have had very fruitful meetings, and their commitment is wonderful. i believe in what they are doing. they're passionate about it. they're going to work with us and the india basin to deal with these issues of parking and safety. the port is planning a variety of different emperor for projects around the intersection. a tricky intersection when you have that kind of confluence of tonnage and the kind of thing. kind of scary. we are afraid of the president this said. other than that, i think this is long overdue. supervisor mar: i see the rail line around quint. i see some kind of a brick building. >> that is where they are. there will be on the third street side of that. building two. they're sort of away from that. not on the corner specifically. but we're concerned about parents and children coming they're looking for parking. i know there is no parking requirement. we were hoping for something like t

there is an open space network envisioned for showplace square, some of which runs through the pdr district. the area plan includes various land-use policies which in addition a certain type of development in that area. i'm working on a parcel right now that is a key one in that area. unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a tool in the zoning code to implement the vision laid out in the area plan. i view that as an impediment. u>> not to put you on the spot - what in the zoning code is missing in that particular instance? >> that area plan for the showplace area envisioned the non-residential portion as an appropriate location for knowledge sector employment. unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a tool in the zoning code that supports development that would address that specific land-use objectives. the appropriate time -- staff mentioned they would be back in a month to talk about these for neighborhood monitoring reports. that would be better for more to get into more detailed discussion. commissioner borden: thank you. i do want to make sure -- i was watching the board and sawfm ca
