“Yeah, just a reminder, as my colleague pointed out, that this is not to a specific property. This is a change of an ordinance. So it's not about one particular property in there. If you haven't been sworn in, please let us know. And you have three minutes once you start to make your comments. And likewise, I see one hand raised on line, Marcus. So just track that.”

“Thanks very much. No problem. And thanks for what you do for us. All right. Anyone else wish to speak, please step up, sign in. It's not on the specific properties. It's the broader ordinance. I know a better way to explain it than that. The actual for the specific property involved? Yes. Correct?”

“Thank you. All right. So other comments on the general ordinance? Not on the specific properties. I mean, you can bring them up, but you're beating a dead horse. So your name and address, please, and you'll be limited to three minutes.”

“Thank you very much. All right, any other, either in the audience or online? I do not see anyone in the audience or online right now, so we'll close it to public comment. Mark, do you want to make any comments relative to one applicant driving it, et cetera, versus the broader impact of what we're trying to do?”

“So I think that if what I'm hearing, and I would agree, the challenge we have is taking it out of the one particular property that we all want to talk about, which everybody's showing up for, right, and realize that whatever we do impacts more than that. And the encroachment into the neighborhood with a different zoning or different treatment of that particular space, that bothers me.”
