Great i think didnt look like other commissioners questions or comments this is part of city that needs more entertainment yesterday we saw this particular stretch of san bruno is getting more entertainment not entertainment but Liquor Licenses that are available so i think were always interested in seeing more entertainment but responsible entertainment especially in parts of the city that didnt have it thank you for stepping up to the plate. Lets take Public Comment i dont know if there will be any. Scenes the matter is with the commission. You motion to approve the permit obviously with the Good Neighbor policy. Second. There is a motion and a second to approve with the Good Neighbor policy policy. Commissioner frost commissioner lee commissioner thomas commissioner perez commissioner caminong president tan.

Were fully ada compliment any Public Comment on r s9409 not seeing any, Public Comment is closed. Commissioners, i would happily entertain a motion. Move to approve the application. An motion to approve is there a second. Same house, same call . All right. That means the that item passes good luck to both of applicants tonight were going to move on to item 7 the meeting i didnt part not that was not meaty enough but talk about potential amendments to the police code as it relates to sound outdoor and im if i had sound and i believe our director will present a beautiful presentation prepared for us tonight. Hang on one i do to while we get set up to make a point i think a lot of the sort of suggested changes to the code are actually sort of clean up rather than new sort of new policy and there is going to be points were talking about sort of a new tool that are created for venues particularly around the outside sound of a youre worried about the thickness of packet the whole sections are moved to other parts of code so sergeant will highlight the new things were consider and at this point no sponsors of the legislation it is really in an early draft before we can shop around and get either the board of supervisors or the mayor to support so i want to just to be clear about that. All right. Are we ready with the sound. See if i can come in hello again, im to be talking about there is a first go around so right now it looks lengthy as president tan said youll get it and ill speak to the timeline at the end and as well i wanted to make sure you know that we have got a City Attorney here in case there are technical questions and so let me get on to listen to our feedback we can im going to get into this most of this about tools for the commission and our staff to work with and it is important you know for us more than it is as an external exercise so there is no time pressure thats why no sponsor not because no one cares and move that along here im going to talk about this legislation the problem the problem statement our current programs and policies around sounds are putting amplified box sounds and challenging to manage and regulate you know that first hand given all the ways we have the last speaker permits sound a day a week a year government has problems with boxes anyway so Record Stores become coffee shops that become venues that become i dont know that is what we deal with everyday im going to go back to this and go back awards our tools are limited outdoor sound is pulling from the rally on the steps of city hall to long term activation to ban playing front of a building and beyonce playing and didnt work well, that this is a point i tend to in that case around the world actually as you may know ive been all over the place and this is important sort of i think broadly for the conversation right now all the regulations are amplified sound in article 1 the police code most of this activity here in the legislation moving things out to article 1 to 15 one the toilet of article 1 is called nuisances that troubled me from the get go i dont think that amplified sound is a nuisance noise is not sound some people dont like sound fair enough well regulate the time place and manner of amplified sound but were words matter thats why i put that up now you can drink the koolaid the fix is basically to move sections 43 through 48 outside of article 1 whole with the permit and sound and trying to found the requirement for the use of outdoor amplified sound why do we do that as you may know 5 it is the bible the section of where we talk about 1060 you know zero through one thousand and 152 is late night extended hours so 1 one has the benefit of having a whole context from the issuance to the determination as well as the enforcement end that allows us to then use those tools in 15 one we have zero of in article 1 article 1 has no context for which to enforce against those permits which you know weve come here and said were here before you today to listen to someone apply for a permit that had problems in the past to me that is frustrating to say were back here because they screwed up i cant miller give them another one nor want to but dump it on your shoulders that way in my mind well have a way to issue the notice of violation to do certifications and, you know, maybe very limited conditions or not issuing at all thats the big picture; right . We left section 49 in article 1 thats the section that is use by and large by the Police Department for other kicks off noise, noise i didnt noise and barking dogs and radios two loud in homes noise, noise that is not really commercial activity that is pretty much what were talking about so get into the weeds ready the easiest way to describe what were doing we can move the sections but have to sort of create a way to play this out in real life now, when someone asks for a permit it includes amplified sound we ask the question does your ask include what we consider big e entertainment as defined in the code; right . Or not amplified or it is receipts related were going to do you know whatever kind of free speech activity or frankly what weve done a lot have to deal with the amount if i had sound outside in a fixed place kind of way your restaurant or wine bar that not to amplify like the age bins patron thats not considered entertainment in the police code so we had to separate those based on the way those things come to us so ultimately if your answer yes, it is entertainment youll be told to get a limited life performance or need one Time Entertainment permit that sounds like a lot but really obvious; right . Your wanting a one time permit if youre, however, your activity that you described to us didnt include what we consider big entertainment as told you need to fixed place outdoor amplified sound or a one time outside am mid sound permit following where does parade entertainment fall. I put it on the chart ive the sound permit is based on an additional not often the sound trucks are what we use for amplified sound during parades thats the moving thing at this point there are few you know how many parades there are so yeah. I guess i should have put the bubble for timing yes so this is i think pretty much the way to describe what i did giving you more information and what the difference is entertainment is one big issue; right . And how we play this out no such thing as a fixed place outdoor door were calling it no such thing when we create a permit with the loophole will that figure out what the bounds of those things are so o. J. Use of Outdoor Entertainment and sound entertainment is not furnished we might end up doing more than just recycle restaurants or wine bars might end up with Retail Stores for the outdoor fixed amplified sound weve gotten complaints and no answers to Retailer Stores and many that think this is the way to advertise their business didnt sit well, that with the venues and offices around there by the didnt have an answer were creating something and then because he with a fixed place permit were limiting our one time outdoor use to 12 times a year that is the consistent thing weve done in the past with using one time like event permit for inside space if you do that why not get a fixed place permit we decided that was a reasonable consistent way to assume that maybe it is a better plan again entertainment permits get impacted by the changes that were making to now include you outdoor spaces so instead of saying to Small Business owner someone we have in the past we inherited this we only building it is regulates the inside i dont believe that technically there is anything in the code that says that weve come to you and you guys are managed to exchange the policy one time or whatever to say okay. Those rules and conditions apply to the inside if you want to do those own the inside then those rules apply but outside that is other rules well include outdoor and indoor under the permits you might end up having to consider in the process of determination those to areas somewhat separately they have potential; right . For bothering neighbors in a devastate way you know if theyre not done correctly same holes for limited Live Performance and then the one time treatment permit indoor arrest or outdoor were limiting to 12 times a year in theyre doing a fixed use consistently well, let me get through this. Ill ask a quick question. I forgot this is after having read this but for the poe and lp they have an outdoor permit attached or have to check a box and opt into that. No, this is an implicit change as of right now the three hundred plus poes they dont get their outdoor permit were creating a tool if someone wants to amend to include we can do that or from the beginning. Could be outdoor. They can do an amendment what does someone do now im asking for future ones if poe equals indoor and outdoor. Were make that implicit in the process to you when those are important issues i think you have to take seriously you know together but separate at the same time what happens in the case of. A venue that plans to be a indoors is the permit allows for both and at a later time they do an outdoor and not getting through the permit process. Were dealing with someone that comes to us with an operation in mind and decided to privet towards something new we go back and say hey weve got to figure out what youre doing now you changed our mind it is in our discretion at the outset to say someone do you plan to have an outdoor space obviously; right . If they have the room it might suggest they consider it well probably consider in the office if they dont say a backyard it may not be an issue. How about 620 jones part of interior or out to the outside. We did both that was out of the box we spent a lot of time looking at you shawn talking about the doors and the music and having the doors open you remember that are the doors open or closed. Yeah. It was a conversation and i think you did exactly what i expected you to do Going Forward. Okay once it gets a sponsor and passes. Of course the other problem well try to solve but somewhat it is related to ambient sound but not part and parcel to the tools think of that as and talk about not necessarily having one thing drag the other down remember some of you were on the commission we had a hearing based on a lawsuit that was filed and then settled with the city was with respect to a street performer i dont know if i was if he was arrested a bunch of performs including the bucket man talking about how very they had a problem and busting is for street performs amplified sometimes not to where theyre playing for tips and sometimes selling their products whatever it is and nothing like that in San Francisco when i say San Francisco our San Francisco under our place not parks and not jefferson street but sidewalks, you know. Like the drummer on powell street. Sort of but just to be clear were talking about amplified sound this whole thing is a discussion of amplified sound not drums so i dont want to part with amplified by definition it means think of something plugged into something; right . The laura bucket man is a separate conversation we dont have a scream ive had for years fought the notion of wanting to be the agency to provide the scheme im supportive we have some kind of way to allow this activity to manage this activity and get tools to not us per say but the Police Department to have the resources that are out there they have nothing they feel is you know useful to them so there is no protection that was a lawsuit; right . In the settlement we had a hearing and there was close to two years ago now here we are with a very basic solution which is so create a permit that is a two year permit that note a cites specific permit that basically says you can use this for street performance arrest other people if i had sound and use it for not closer than 50 federate from another performer but a set of rules minimal that would require them to have a visual permit on their body, and then see how that goes from here. laughter because i have no intention nor the resources i feel to curate what frns good and bad performance exactly you should perform and how long you should perform that is the way the port does it on rejection they have a whole podium of staff that deals with deciding who comes and what letters and can someone play or here and there not interested if that dont think we can do that not the resources for that at all so this is the concept obviously we havent tried it i that the street performance in San Francisco is important i think we really want to provide a protection and clear guidelines the reason we get stuck and surrounded by that police and the ids fussing one person is too long in front of one store no clearcut way to see what we expect and a bunch of time like days like today no issues and a heavy tourist type and tourist area we know there is a lot of events this is not curtailing free speech and didnt apply to larry the bucket man and people yelling about the new testament on the sidewalk outside of city hall free speech is protected in San Francisco ucsf and not trying to manage all of that just amplified sound from a street performer commissioner thomas. So for example, the person with the electrical gutter on valencia ray 16th street. Shawn is shaking his head. What tool will this give us to address that because that is someplace at a minimum that will allow is us to do enforcement with certifications we didnt have anything for about i mean it is obviously when someone is loud their complaints still have to respond this will eliminate that by a long shot and also will assist the mission station shawn ended up birddogging; right . And hopefully, the police can use section 49 cite for infractions and a misdemeanor that was reviewed by the Police Department im sorry that dave has been out for sometime but met with me more than once and met with me and the City Attorney to go page by page through this so chief redman is supportive i apologize. I didnt say that earlier but they have gone over this and have added things to the language in particular youll see the instructs out theyve moved from infractions to misdemeanors whether theyll use them does that does that answer your question . Im trying to figure out what additional in that situation mostly what our inspectors what we had available was going after the location where they were plugging that in; right . Instead of the individual telling them to move on i want to walk through that example well ask that individual who applied for one of these permits and be clear about exceptions and so on and then when we had a permit and was being two noisy or otherwise generating complaints you know this will give the Police Additional ability to driven to knock it off or turn that down. Thats correct if we could cite him as well. Yeah. Yeah. I think thats correct but again those are all things into section 1551. For the to think through how. Those are administration suggestions that have money attached to them in this case we get paid after certifications 3 revoke the permit we have the power to do this in addition that is going to allow the police to use a misdemeanor i obviously am not a huge supporter of this kind enforcement but that kind of a chronic problem get them into conformation. How much do plan to charge the performs is it an economic thing there are people that play instruments in chinatown and their low income poor and thats a big complaint how much is the permit its great to have and getting them involved but always going to be that. In the process of creating new permit; right . We have to come up with pricing and schemes weve been working with the folks in g a s and their Budget Office so we think we can do wfrld permit for too years and again based on what we believe is administrative time with the back up material we can keep that number low enough for completely racially and i expect people to achieve that permit and not say that is too much money we have a wildfire process in place for amplified sound permit i believe that will if someone is frankly destitute and can show us via our system in the code they have no money we have a way to waive fees on paper remember that i think too the example your giving most of chinatown performs are playing their own instrument and not amplified and they do plug into a soundbox. Oh, okay. So i think that is where the differentiation would be; right . A plug in. Commissioner perez and want to wrap up im wondering in the 200 per year is compatible to jefferson street. I dont know what the i can look at but heres the thing we have to charge fees based on the cost of doing the work; right . So Cost Recovery the only ways would you to do that note the principle or marketplace oh, this is a good thing the city doesnt allow it i can check to see obviously where they are but right now we can support the numbers of 50 a year so one hundred permit bioannual. I was wondering if this is low lets go to the entertainment commission. They cant use our permit on the wharf if he wanted to do that they have to i dont think the numbers of those i dont role know but i dont think there are a thousand street performs people come and go and get quite a few visits in the office and calls from people all over the world and then there is a lot of money to be made im sad about that i i dont have by anything to tell them. One more quick question from me just in our experience ca do we get more calls about complaints from people about performs. The latter we dont himself or i mean 311 we dont get. A lot of complaints. There are chronic right people extraneous about street performances. Theres a marketplace for this i get it. Oh, maggie is looked at the port costs 500 a year wow. I think commissioner lee has one more question. Making those changes i think that inspector pauley during superbowl week went to the Playboy Party i assume they have a oneday party massive speakers subpoena pressed by a tent you know. Not suppressed ohio they ran a speaker when we parked the car too blocks away we could hear it clearly. In general were not necessarily asking for different information were putting into the code we have a little bit more things we can do Going Forward is the superbowl comes to San Francisco and playboy wants another party with a sound sound system probable theyre not coming back they dont care mostly we deal with people that wants to continue their producers of events that do more than one so given; right . A future we have more to work with. Can we be proactive to maybe make them think twice of this sound system. Weve only tried to; right . The permit a question about the size of their sound system many times people dont know so they stand in our office for about an hour on the phone trying to figure out how many watts and what do you mean and we try our best you know we give the sound inspectors the information around those one time amplified permits every week they can go and try to monitor i dont know how else to do that is speculation. I was curious if this helps. Okay. Well, i could bring up brad reminded me we did take the opportunity draft to include at ability to charge people for their time to charge an applicant for the time the sound inspectors spend and one of the reasons for that is that the pattern that weve seen with this commission in particular of imposing when we bring something out of ordinary in terms of outdoor amplified sound requests imposing the use of those inspectors during that performance or before it or after it; right . And we have absolutely no way to pay for that so this is building in a tool for that at the moment i dont have a number but basically authorized to their salary range so we can do that perspectively or perhaps another inspector person. For the outdoor festivals the Fire Department charges a fee for coming out and inspecting. Many, many departments charge fees we know were doing this with with dill lesson youll hear about around permits and services that the city provides and yeah i dont love charging fees but sometimes, it is important. You charge for physical. Yeah. We dont have a way were putting in a way okay all right. Wrap up. Sorry. Okay. So i maggie does amazing pictures by the way, i dont know how to do power point youre looking at the draft in front of you guys based on feedback if you guys or talk about that some more well create a final draft im going to go find a very important that didnt have to be a members of the board or the mayor but helpful to have a board sponsor we can do it and support ourselves weve not done it but ill go to the board and we will obviously go to hearing and figure out if there is anything political spin at the moment i hope youre seeing this is very nuts and bolts potentially has issues the street performs if people dont feel that impacts their district properly or i dont know ultimately most of them are in supervisor peskin district and maybe theres one in the mission like maybe. Market street. Yeah. Maybe jane kim district in the outer lying area but be that as it may and then try to get in stuff implemented thats at the plan and youve asked me questions already so you got anymore. I think it is affordable people will do it i mean 5 hundred Fishermans Wharf but on Market Street or Something Else not as much tourist not make as much money it is go to find an economic solution for that permit i dont know if anyone will pay 500 a street perform. Theyre talking about 50 a year for two years. Thats great. I think what will be helpful for our correct if we very specific things we think need changes or amendments not come up with them now but if we can send them over as quickly as possible will help to accelerate this if ms. Bloomer mo magic i think a lot of questions but an opinion put that forward my specific parts of either the street perform permit or the outdoor amplified sound permit that anyone wants to change bans the information you have now or not be changed on added element. Have thought about moving forward and making the outdoor fixed place included on the card so we have to really curtail our applicants if their get those 20 20 types of permits they need to be mindful of in order and outdoor impacts so i think you have the tools you guys have done this lard and been thoughtful; right . About the order and outdoor sound might mean unfortunately for you a little bit more conversation with the applicant related to; right . The discrepancy of the operation in some cases well come to you like land use concerns or cu; right . To condition sometimes maybe not an issue but you know were seeing more roof decks and attempts to act they in the city outside so it maybe conversation not about night life outdoor used by donate who knows; right . That is trying to get the applicants to really think through what and how their operation should work best for them and then yeah trying to stay on top of that thing change it up you know. Well, i want to thank you and the City Attorneys office for putting this hard working it feels like youve introduced over the last two years like whole we we do in bringing the street performs here and seeing what can we do about the outdoor situation but full circle and it took a lot of work and people that are not here including the police i think this is great i mean, i think i dont have any Major Concerns when it becomes part of a poe equals into custody indoor and outdoor right now we search warrant parking and other stiff we glance over so maybe get rid of of that stuff to highlight what we want to know but overall this is great i think i cant think of new reason to be highly politicalized if so that would be weird but hopefully get a project sponsor. I dont intend to bring this back to you nonetheless a request from the president. Can we give the commissioners a week. Sure. I can put it back on calendar as soon as you indicate or if you indicate. No need for a motion. Just a discussion i think that is fair to the next meeting unless you think there is a reason to calendar this or not calendar this. I dont think i mean for the purposes of previous legislation like we might have had a motion or some sort of action resolve from the commission to be able to sort of move forward from you know for me as the director say my commission has given me instruction of xyz maybe put it on as an action item to do that so i can then have that as i move forward that along. Absolutely we can definitely both duo that commissioner frost. If were not going do bring it up again, if we have questions we can bring it up through the chair but my Commission Voted on this unanimously and asked me to bring this forward rather than discussing that. In this case no descent to im happy to entertainer the motion that can speak to giving time to review more or can be a motion to approve and to allow our possible action. You can do this or from the people want to read is one the reasons that is important for me to not on the ticking time clock it is dense im fine youre taking more time or ask people or do whatever you need to do it seems to work and needs to be right. Are you looking for us to possibly make a little bit of adjustment to it a suggestion. Im not looking at for that but give you the room to do that i dont need you to meddle in it ideally what will happen as you think about that what about this situation or what about that situation thats what we do; right . How do we involve for this without creating 4 more problems thats the issue if you want to chew on it and walk around and hear and see where are we capturing all the president talked about this with me and said what about boom boxes thats to think about things that maybe are not captured or i didnt talk about presentation there is a lot in here i think i got most of it but as you read through the legislation we ended up oh, lets tweaking this and that now you know what it is but worth looking 0 through i think for the most part it is fine but now weve heard and now we hear the options i think another you know in essence meeting might be okay; right . Guys. Those are Great Solutions and enough room to just like test it out and then you know if there are further iterations well learn in realtime you did an awesome job. Okay. I think we will not act tonight on it lets make sure that it is on the agenda for the next meeting in the meantime between now and then if people want to send comments directly to our director that will be wonderful all right. Lets see if theres by Public Comment thank you brad for coming out we didnt have my questions but appreciate all our work any Public Comment on this particular item this draft ordinance in the police code. All right. Not seeing any, Public Comment is closed. Getting close to the end of malia cohen item 8 is commissioners questions or comments i have one thing id like to bring up the Residential DevelopmentDesign Committee we may rename given this is going to expand to hotels molts there is now a vacancy i want to take action and appoint commissioner thomas to the representative on that committee shows currently our alternate id like to appoint stephen as the addition or commissioner lee as the alternative ones we have a full economy well reinvite but we need to move forward and have enough people on the committee only a 3 Person Committee with a 2 person quorum and having one person missing is a challenge and may reconstitute it in a way that makes sense if people time is limited but for now appoint commissioner thomas as the rep and commissioner lee as the amendmelternative. Let that be known it is what it is so anything thoughts or questions all right. Commissioner caminong still remains a rep on that committee all right. Anything else people want to bring up today. Well commissioner perez we have not had a retreat for a long time i think know we have new staff and a new board member coming in so maybe something we can talk about and maybe do another one. Thank you for the reminder. Commissioner lee. I want to announce don holidays retirement from slims and Great American music hall and say good luck and we are going to miss you because it 28 years of night life and live music in the city she played an important part and see her announcements on facebook was sad but she works so hard so good luck dawning. My other conversions questions or comments open up for Public Comment not seeing any, Public Comment is closed. Last item is new request for future agenda items anything. So maggie is reminding me should put on the next agenda the next Vice President vote i know we discussed this briefly but it is unclear when the rules committee is going to move and well have 7 people here im concerned if youre unavailable for some reason no Vice President that runs the meeting so maybe prudent to for a Vice President before we fulfill are loaded to that is a suggestion it is up to you, we have to agendize that item we cant do it tonight the platoon is next meeting nonetheless you say otherwise. Were expecting a report from the outdoor whats the title to the Outdoor Events director. And Senior Analyst for county and cultural events. Right. A presentation from the Senior Analyst next time great all right didnt seem like things you want to add to the agenda any Public Comment not seeing any, Public Comment is closed.
