that is up to this committee. >> supervisor preston: i would say this. in so far as these amendments have come from supervisor melgar and voted for by this committee, the committee easily without it being a substantive change can take things out of item 2. to the extent that the work that we have been doing along the way which i have publicly appreciated turning three different pieces of legislation into one which i compliment chair melgar in doing over the course of a number of meetings. i don't see the utility in having two. i think if we had one which is what the committee forced consensus around and supervisor mandelman would say there are good arguments for taking this and that out we could be persuaded. i don't see the utility of having two. this is a win noticing exercise. i would err on the side of winnowing in the item end of in 46 to the next committee meeting. i defer to my colleagues. >> chair melgar: i have a couple questions about the amendment if i could ask madam city attorney. how does this language starting on the subject lot from lot -

supervisor preston. >> supervisor preston: thank you, chair melgar. i just had a question for supervisor safai just on the summary of your proposed amendments. let me say that two of them, i think i don't take issue with it. six units and conforming in that way makes good sense to me to do that in your legislation and also given the structure of your ordinance having the flexibility around the fees and putting that into the conversation as opposed to strictly units. again, i think i'm happy to support amending your ordinance in that way. the other one i wanted some clarification on because as i read this, the danger or the concern around demolition is pretty significant. not just a loud demolition. there you would still have the potential for conditional use review, but in other situations -- am i misreading that? that's what it looks like to me. >> supervisor safai: in its essence, that's designed for the exchange in affordability. that's not a requirement. the affordable fee is not a requirement. so then that changes the review process if you choose
