. >> commissioner wu. >> thank you. if i could ask the director to speak more about this, the idea of creating a nonconforming use. i feel like it's a clunky use of the planning code. because we're trying to create not so many conforming uses. >> that was our concern. i totally understand the commission wants to make sure there is certainly an advantage to making sure that this one business can survive and has a short time period to legalize. but in general, the planning code tries to minimize nonconforming uses because the goal of nonconforming uses is to eventually go away. i mean, it's like advertising signs. the idea that eventually the advertising signs would go away, but i understand the reason for this particular one. we were looking at it from the standpoint of is this a land use that is otherwise a problem and we didn't see the impact that would suggest this is actually happening quite a lot in the city, but i understand that the commission prefers to marrow it and have a larger discussion about the concept. >>
