Thank you very much.

So we have uh Mr.

Alex Westop here to do the presentation.

Did you want to say something first, Lorenzo?

Thank you.

Good afternoon, Chalmark Melgar, Vice Chair Chen, Member Chahmoud, and Clerk Carroll for your flawless reading.

I'm happy to be here on behalf of Supervisor Cheryl.

I will attempt to be brief to talk about the slate of resolutions that will initiate landmark designations for 18 properties.

Uh these resolutions are the product of several months of community outreach, work with the historic preservation team and conversations around the family zoning plan during its adoption late last year.

And the properties in front of you include some very cherished buildings across every nearly every neighborhood in District 2.

And so above all, I just want to say Supervisor Cheryl and I are extremely grateful for the work done by the planning department's preservationist team to analyze our category A's and engage our constituents about the landmark process, namely Alex, who you will hear from right now.

So we look forward to continuing to work with you, Alex, and the preservationist team at planning.

With that, committee members, thank you again for hearing these items today.

Um I hope to have your support in sending these to the full full board with positive recommendations.
