some will require rereferral back to planning. a few highlights include the housing sustainability district to allow projects to provide the entirety of affordable housing on site and to support p.d.r. businesses facing displacement and amendments to more flex in the for proposed residential tower at 636 4th street. that was continued until september 10. at the full board this week, supervisor tang's ordinance on accessory dwelling units and homesf 2.0 continued to july 31 because a supervisor was absent. and cannabis -- prohibition on cannabis retail and dispensaries in chinatown was continued until august 31 because tang and fewer were absent. landmark designation for 601 3rd street catering uses for limited restaurants, the 312 relaxation in district 4 and 11, and code corrections ordinance passed first read. and then we had one introduction that i'm aware of to prohibed cafeteria and office uses. it will come to you for comment. for of our commissioners passed rules and will be voted on next week at the board. >> clerk: no rep

it will require rereferral to the planning commission, and the planning commission does meet during our august recess, and that i hope to have the central soma plan back before the board in the fall, and so we're asking all the appellants to continue the appeal to the first board meeting of the s t september. >> president cohen: all right. thank you. all right. soying that these matters will be continued, let's open up the public comment on the continuance. are there any members of the public that wish to speak on the continuance today, please come on up, please come to the microphone. and again, this is public comment on the continuance. >> hi. laura clark, yimby action. i just wanted to bring it to your attention as we did at land use, that this will affect tndc's affordable housing project. and i know that's been brought to your attention, but i hope we keep in mind this kind of financing difficulties when we add delays and unexpectedness, all projects are affected by this unpredictability, especially affordable housing, and tndc is at risk right now. >> cory smith on behalf of the h
