We have turned a wlot of corners and we are looking at the overall design and clarity of content. I am excited to say that we have a draft sent to mta, tem, and the new ems agency which is dph and so were getting some feedback from the agencies. I wish i could give you a publication date. And i am optimistic it will be in the new year. It really depends on how fast we get the final approvals back. But i feel like we have made a lot of great progress and so i feel very good about it, dont you, al . All right. And in the meantime, i have been to a really great conference last month and this was a gathering of people who are in the festival industry. So representatives from lalapalo lalapalooza, bonaroo, and hawaiian food festival, major player, and i was there to learn about emerging trends and more best practices to carry this knowledge back to the Event Community here and it was high level. A couple of my favorite panels were about how to insure Public Safety and managing a public event and as early on as possible collaborate with the highest levels of government and get their buyin and other things how to make the case to the board about investing in Event Technology and i have been able to connect with people who are based here as well as elsewhere at the conference, so that was really cool. I will be going to austin for the first ever city conference for people who work in City Government who regulate and organize events. It is called the municipal special events summit. I will be on a panel about policy development with nashville, austin, and chat chat. And then the point of this is to share these best practices and learn just what are the kinds of tools that the other cities are doing. Literal and figure tools that wil be from in late january, so ill report back. Great. Thank you. Thats many things that we had hoped this position would be doing, so that is really good to hear. Great. Any other questions from the commissioners . No other questions from the commissioners. The next item is Police Department comments and questions. I see we have a member of sfpd nope, not to make comments and questions. So we misour Police Department comments and questions. Item number 7 is hearing possible action regarding applications for permits under the jurisdiction of the entertainment commission. The first item under this is the consent calendar, and then well go into our regular agenda. Do you want to present the consent calendar . On consent is a place bawled berber at 1516 broadway. And so they had this is going for a limited Live Performance permit. They did not have any issues. We didnt hear any negative feedback and the Police Department signed off with no added conditions. So that is why it is on consent. The owner is here tonight, so if you have any questions, you can ask him. Commissioner, any questions . All right. Can i have a motion to adopt the consent calendar . Motion to approve consent calendar. Motion. Second. Motion and seconded. Same house, same call. Excellent. And congratulations. Moving forward with the regular agenda. Okay. So on regular agenda tonight, the first item is for august hall and fifth arrow. This is at 420 and 430 mason. These folks have extensive history in entertainment world in San Francisco, owning other places, and theyre going into the location of the old ruby skye and theyre going to have live music, and its going to be a creative space. I am looking forward to it. And if you look in the file and dont have a lot of residential neighbors and they have hotels down there and businesses nearby. And he brought the conditions with him. I am sure he can discuss if he wants to do that first right now. This is one permit with two addresses. And there is a fifth arrow downstairs from august hall. August hall is the music venue. And with the discussion and why dont we hear. To establish security protocols and other things like that. A brief overview of the project as now that you mentioned there are two components to it and august hall, which will be opened as a Live Music Venue and to transition from what was there in the past in terms of a nightclub will be a hard ticket venue. What that means is every night people will be buying tickets to come to the show. It is not about people coming to the venue and lining up to get in from walking into a nightclub. And you are buying tickets and seeing a show booked six months in advance to play at the venue. We also have fifth arrow downstairs. Fifth arrow will be a threelane bowling, a restaurant, and a cocktail bar that were very proud of that we think will be a nice juxtaposition between the two in terms of guests coming pre and postshow and other people coming during shows to fifth arrow downstairs. A couple of notes. We are redoing our sound system in total. The system that was there is about 15yearold system, so were starting with a new system. We spent a tremendous amount of money working with salter as well as on the acoustical treatments for the room as a whole. We will have a db monitor in place. And well work with the commission to make sure that we are in a place that we are adhering to noise as well as being the best neighbor we could for the neighborhood. To date, we had sent out a letter to every single neighbor within a 500foot radius as well as the businesses and hotels in the neighborhood. And we gave them an overview of our project as well as gave them information to contact us. We also hosted a neighborhood gathering at the venue. Sadly, only two people came, but we did offer to talk through anything. So far all we have gotten from the neighborhood is we are really glad you are coming and happy to have what you are doing versus Something Else that might go into the space. One thing i didnt mention earlier and is probably important is this has been a venue in San Francisco since 1911. The building was rebuilt after the fire and has been an operating venue since that time, and we are proud of the opportunity to kind of carry that forward. Let me see what else i can add to this. We will have guard cards for everyone at the front door. All the team will be lead trained. We will have a Security Director on staff that we are in the final process of interviewing three of them. We have a security plan that we have developed and will add to that once the final Security Director is on our team. I think that takes me through predominant amount of the things i wanted to add. Im happy to answer any questions you guys may have. Yes. The second floor, that opens out to mason street. Yes. Has windows that open. Correct. What do you plan to do in the room . We dont plan to have the windows open, but it is a room used for a meet and greet with artists. That room were redoing to have it more of a cocktail room. And in the past they used it as secondary kind of entertainment room. For us its more of a l cocktail room with the ability to do meet and greets. Enough ventilation. It doesnt get stuffy there. We just went through the research and got a 7ton a. C. Unit that is more than that room needs. So definitely with the ventilation. An i think if i remember, there is the walk in and it kind of crisscross in, so do you have a one door and then another door . One door is an exit. In the past there is a satellite bar in there, so were adding a permanent bar in that room and the ability for people to sit down and enjoy a cocktail versus being in a room have you been to the poster room and that is the idea of that room as well. Yes, okay. An other questions . Hi. Thanks for coming in. Thank you. Can you tell us more about the soundproofing that you have done or planning to do . Absolutely. We work with salter. They came in and did things i have never seen done in a room of popping balloons and making various noises to work on the sign attenuation in the room. And working with two different acoustical engineers interiorly to create a sound baffle to keep the sound deadened in the room. We are lucky the building is a concrete and steel building, so not a lot of sound permeates the building as a whole. By we have acoustical treatments and working with adding 42 curtains to various areas in the building that kind of deaden sound. Weve also where were transitioning from the main room into the lobby, we are adding soundproofing to make sure sound is not carried to the front of the building. Are you doing this in preparation for the live acts versus theres two components to it. One is the room as a whole wasnt great for live music, so adding to that. And the second is to work to make sure we keep the music in the venue. As a note, there were not a lot of issues with sound permeating the venue in the past. We want to be in a good place from a sound, clean sound for the building. Okay. Thank you. Any other questions . All right. Thank you. Thank you very much. And now were going to hear from San FranciscoPolice Department. Hello, commissioners and staff. We sat down with the applicant and with the captain and myself and went over the safety plan. We were satisfied with it. As you know, ruby skye before that and they did have an extended hours permit with the old application, so its not something thats a big change for the neighborhood. Looking at this, lets see, i have the conditions. It is on the projector. Oh. Okay. What we did is we looked at where we thought there could be issues. And one of the things that actually was kind of happy about that was the management was complete agreement. As we are recommending approval t two recommendations that we have is all employees shall be leads trained. That is extremely effective in helping the employees know what an intoxicated person looks like, what the law says. Its just a real good tool for management to make sure that all their employees have the basic understanding of what we want. We want the patrons to be able to come and have a good time, but a little special training is going to be helpful. And is going to be good for the patrons experience as well as for the establishment in lowering the liability and nobody wants anything to happen at the clubs. And so that extra special training where they can kind of look at somebody and say, oh, you know what . Youre going to be Drinking Water for a little bit. Or i think i have to cut you off completely. And i think if they get that training, theyll be really have their a game. The other part was that with extended hours and having bands, what were asking for is management will send Central Station a calendar of special events and evenings of the extended hours permit will be utilized. If you are going to be a band, let us know so we know what is happening in the district. They work very closely with live nation. And we have the same understanding for entertainment thats being done at the masonic auditorium. And that has been very, very effective. And the other one was for if its going to be it didnt seem like the extended hours were going to be utilized that much, so if there is a night they are going to utilize it, just let us know and we can send and have passing calls to make sure that everything is fine. Do you have any questions for me . A commissioners . Nope, no questions. Thank you very much. I do have a followup with the applicant. We have a followup question for the applicant. Just one staff question that is coming up from inspector burke is that we should we might want to amend the p. D. Conditions to clarify what a special event is so we know how to Better Direct the venue and the calendar. We have a copy. My question neway. So live nation is your partner. Are you use live Nation Security . Going to have your own inhouse security with their security . Well have our own inhouse security. We are responsible for security, not live nation. All the protocols that live nation might have, you will be adopt i adopting how they run their masonic. We work with them on best practices and they share information and incorporate that to the overall plan and a hybrid that works with their plan and works with our venue as a whole because it might be different than the masonic or the philmore and make the best plan. Our plan is to do it inhouse. Yes. Not an outside company. Correct. Thank you. Thats all. Another followup question. I am looking at your permit from the fire department. Do you see this . Were you able to resolve yes. Occupancy load. It is not an issue. We just had we went to dbi and they granted us the occupancy load. We went to the place of assembly permit and there were a couple of modification. We have a couple of changes on the permits we are submitting as a whole and submitting at once. It is not something we are concerned about resolving. We just havent got it done yet. Good, glad to hear. Great. Any other questions for the applicant . Or the police . Are the police conditions accept to believe you . Yes. I think it would be we already spoke about it and i totally understand it. We will provide them a calendar. It is good to know what the special events are. Are you planning to do club events in between shows like if you have a dark weekend, going to keep it dark . Our plan is not to do club events. Hard ticket events for our venue. Thank you. What would you consider special events . I would say special events would be a nonpublic facing calendar event. So basically if we had a corporate event on a wednesday that is not on the public calendar, that is what i consider a special event. And as i talked with officer mathias about it, we have the calendar on the website, and if its out of the ordinary, he wants to prepare for so this night you are open late or this night you have this. And that is what were talking about. Okay. So then the number of people does not matter. It is really we have something planned. I think what the nature of the business is that everything is booked pretty far in advance. Were already booking shows into may and june right now, so for us to provide a calendar with a heres everything that is happening this month in advance of the month will not be difficult. Okay. Thanks. Does that address the staff concern regarding special events and that . Okay. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioners, discussion . Motion . I would like to move to i a prove with the police conditions. Motion to approve. Second. Motion and seconded. Okay. Can i get same house, same call on this one . Sure. All right. Your permit is approved. Congratulations and were always happy to have a new Live Music Venue in town. Okay. So third and final permit application for this evening is a loud spiker permit which we dont hear very often. But any time someone is wanting to extend past 10 00 p. M. , it would trigger a hearing unless there is precedent that was created with you guys previously. And so that is what were doing tonight. This is for 111 minna and shish el is here to talk about it. And basically doing a Holiday Party outside of the menu on minna. And theyre hoping to extend until midnight. So you will see the Police Department has already provided crystal approval with four conditions. So michelle, can you come up and speak to this . There you are. Michelle delaney, managing partner at minna gallery. I have a client doing a Holiday Party, and they would like to have amplified sound outside past 10 00. It will really just be a mackey speaker with spotify play ogen it, so not really a huge deal, but i know its important we discuss this. I have the neighbor outreach. We had signoff from all the neighbors in the area within 100 feet. I dont have residents close, so the businesses will be closed. It is on a saturday night. I think my closest residents are over at the st. Regis and around the corner at the paramont. Will there be a party within 111 minna as well . A were going to have it inside minna and out in the alleyway. Will there be open doors for the flow of attendees . The minna door to the alley will be open. Okay. All right. Any other questions . Yes, commissioner perez. Hi. And if there are any complaints from the neighbors what will be the procedure or the protocol . I had a party last saturday without any sound out there, and it was fine. So if the neighbors dont like it and they want us to turn it off, i am not worried about. So fine. Can you publish your phone number and they can contact you . A they can call me and again at the holiday parties, most people are more concerned with kind of networking and talking to each other and having a good time than they really are the music. Its all right. You will be managing the phone i will be there all night. Okay. And how quickly can you commit to a resolution if there is a complaint . No problem. Quickly. Just go turn the volume down and say got it. Okay. Thank you. Any other questions . All right. Thank you. Any discussion . No. I motion to i approve the permit until midnight. A second. Motion and second to i a prove the permit. Same house, same call. Yep. Okay. All right. Thank you. Congratulations. All right. Now moving forward to item number 8, which is the discussion and possible action regarding recommendations to be submitted to the Planning Department or department of building inspection for a proposed residential project for chapter 116 of the administrative code. Okay. Hello again. So our first item on Residential Development compatibility calendar is 425 mason. This is actually Perfect Timing because this is right by the old ruby skye which is now going to be august hall. So this is something you will probably hear again from nate, but in the meantime, lets hear from the developer at 425 mason and they will discuss their project with you. Welcome. Hi. Good evening, commissioners. I am sandra chow with the Architecture Firm for the project at 425 mason street. I am here to present the project and happily answer any questions you may have about the design. So the package in front of you has some basic information about what were proposing for the site. The building itself is an historic sevenstory concrete building designed by lewis polk, and it currently sits on the corner of mason street and derby street. Built in 1922, it served as the headquarters for the Spring ValleyWater Company until it was purchas
