we see that so much in the upper fillmore where i live and die in the japantown -- and in the japantown planning, we're very focused on this bitter that is outstanding that it is going forward. the trade shot changes also very important. i am very glad to see that happening. a lot of what i was going to say has been undercut, so this will be shorter than might be otherwise. one, i have is on a noise controls. currently, it says noise will not be audible outside the boundary. that is a very strict requirement. i believe there are already ordinances that talk about noise relative to the ambient, relative to the background. noise is disruptive in the way it is relative to the surroundings, and it may well be that the revision to that requirement will make it easier for businesses to operate in a way that works well in the commercial district. again, if we look at some of the existing noise language and make it relative to the existing our current background noise that the type of operation.

personal note, speaking for no one else but the people in the cathedral hill, we have participated in the japantownnning process. we would support their desires as to which the district they would like to be located in. [tone!] thank you for all of your hard work and integrity. >> thank you, sir. 5 remaining names. is there anyone whose name i did not call who is switching to share public comments? -- who is wishing to share public comments? >> thank you for all of your hard work. i appreciate what you have done. i live in the north mission. i want to go like walter for reuniting the mission. should the 90% have to pay to unify a group that small? i do not think so. the difference in character between mr. 9 in district 6 is remarkable -- between districts 9 and district 6 is remarkable. have we seen nonprofits stopping displacement? no. we are seeing a bunch of new residential development projects. the nonprofits have been awol. it has been a neighborhood-based operation. the eastern neighborhoods and nonprofits lost it and say they want to be part of the neighborhood. they blew it. we're seeing di

we are planning for three open houses, one in the richmond, one in the middle portion of the corridor in japantown, and one in the inner portion of the corridor at st. mary's cathedral. these are the and -- at the end of june. that concludes my presentation. i'm happy to take questions at this time. >> commissioner? commissioner dooley: i do have some questions. my primary concern is as always the destruction to the merchant corridor. and i feel that before you go further with any of this, you need to get a detailed description for the merchants of the scope of the construction, the length of time the disruption would be occurring, i also want to strongly urge you to have outreach meetings with the merchant associations. another of these projects have been going on around san francisco. i have found that there is no mitigation plan for business disruptions for the merchants, and we would need to keep in mind that most of these businesses are not giant corporations. significant impact in terms of business disruption would be extremely detrimental to their businesses. just want to urge a lot of outr

i want to welcome everything here from japantown, the southeast asian community, the philippine committeethe samoan community, all of our asian populations working together to promote this month and be able to tell more stories about who we are. it is a wonderful country. i just came back from seattle, my home town. i have my own homegrown seattle jokes i could tell you. they will ruin your day. it is great to link up roots. i went back to my high school in beacon hill where i grew up. i rethought the steps of how i got to san francisco. i met with housing groups that resonated with our international hotel struggle. a lot of community groups that were part of my own personal history but have become part of our whole west coast history that we celebrate because it is really the same thing. every city whether new york, chicago, or san francisco, the asian populations have grown and matured beyond the immediate immigrant groups, but they still have strong ties. i am reminded of this constantly. we have an inner. population that wants to be involved in everything we do and the side. they know

this was the main entry to the oldest synagogue west of the mississippi, i think, up on bush street, near japantown, recently converted to a senior center. where they closed up the entry now a window with a coach backed up to. actually entry people go in is a tiny door 50 feet up the door that says "disabled access" here that everybody goes in and out this tiny door. i think it's a big loss to take clearly what is intended to be the entry and block it up and sort of ignore it. >> this is very similar to the mill's building entry that we just looked at and goes no where. it's sad. it happens a lot to older buildings. >> i'm grateful they preserved the buildingx it's not easy to do to retrofit buildings. >> not sure it was appropriate because it was broken up into housing and theater space. >> a lot of the entrances that we saw are notable as being elaborate thing on a plain building. and the entrance sort of sets the tone more than anything else. this is an example of a building where the style of entrance is completely carried through with the elaboration of the building at the roof line and the to
