We did receive notice of the hearing, but we just received a copy of the staff report and we belatedly realize that we cannot fully grasp the complexities of the change. Our museum property, which we must look at long term, is. part of a block that functions together, but is being: zoned around. We need to understand how that affects Lis, if it uses up capacity that we may need for future growth and what other affects it may have. We want time to have assistance i in the review of these documents and to prepare meaningful testimony for the Commission to consider. Therefore, We respectfully request a, continuance for at least two weeks and preferably a month.

While I received notice of the hearing, not until I obtained a copy of the staff report and multi -paged attachments did I realize that I did not fully comprehend the magnitude of the change. It seems somewhat irregular to change the zoning of a block that works as a whole without including the other parcels in the block. For that and other reasons, I believe it would be prudent to continue the matter and give me and other affected property owners the opportunity to meet with staff and understand the effects this change may have, good or bad, on my property.
