Our Commission Statement is to introduce people who arent introduced every day to these art and other similar items like that, to bring the Community Together and let them have an opportunity to be exposed to that. The Liquor License was passed by the california legislature, so it is specifically for this location, and Saint Josephs art society is uniquely qualified to obtain this Liquor License because it was especially passed only for this location. Hi, this is nick cola, a coapplicant as well. I just wanted to note that the Arts Foundation also does a lot of Community Work with nonprofits in the area, such as united players, selma west community ben nits benefits, the San Francisco conservatory of music, and various others. And we have letters of support we have submitted to this committee as well from the neighborhood. And, also, as you can see as you go through the slides is that something that we control . There have been several upgrades to the building. It is open and available to the public. And they are promoting arts programs in underserved portions of the community to give children other Community Members access to arts programs that they otherwise wouldnt have. This Liquor License, in the event it will be held there, will be for the purpose of funding these programs moving forward, that serve a community purpose. And as you can see also in the slides, weve done Significant Community outreach, not only through the notification process, through the Liquor License application, but the change of use, as well as as well as the planning code amendments to allow this to take place here. And then weve also opened hl open houses, and given Community Members to the opportunity to come in and voice their concerns and see if we could reach compromises. There hasnt been much opposition, and by and large, weve had lots of support from the community. And there is your outreach. And there is more outreach, notifications. And there is a thank you. All right. Thanks, Saint Josephs. Thank you, supervisor. Good pinchhitting. Sarah, did you want to say anything . I want to thank you for your consideration, and we worked really hard for the foundation, to make an impact in the Arts Community here, in the entire bay area, as well as outside of that. And were really excited to continue to do that and support our artists, especially at a time like this. So thank you again.

Org, if you wish to call in, please s do so now. Do we have any callers for item number one . Mr. Chair, there are no callers in the cue. Chairman then Public Comment is now closed. Colleagues, and many of us are familiar with Saint Josephs and their fine work. I know that supervisor haney supports issuance of this license, and requested with forward this as a Committee Report, which is why it was set out that way. Saint josephs has been through quite a regulatory adventure, so we want to, i think, get this before the board as quickly as possible. So i will make a motion well, i first of all, given that, we can ask our clerk to prepare a resolution finding the issuance of this license will meet public convenience and necessity, and then i will make a motion that we send that resolution, r with positive recommendation, to the full board as a Committee Report. Did i get that right, mr. Clerk . That sounds correct. On the offer by chair mand mandelman, we recommend that the item will be brought to the board of supervisors. [recalroll call] mr. Chair, there are three yeas. Chairman the motion passes. Congratulations. Thank you very much. Chairman youre welcome. District clerk, please call the next item. Item two is a hearing to consider that the type 21 offsale general, beer, wine, and distilled spirits to food and liquor incorporated will serve the public convenience and necessity of this city and county.

So lets hear from officer samuson again. This report is for golden state food and liquor, they applied for a 21 license, which will allow them to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits. There are letters of support, located in plot 200, which is considered a lowcrime area. I think the report that you have shows it as a high crime. That was an error on our end. Plot 200 is actually low crime. Theyre in census track 202, which is considered high saturation. The southern station has no opposition, and a. L. U. Approves with the following conditions number one, sale of beverages shall be permitted between the hours of 8 a. M. And 1 a. M. Each day of the week. The size is smaller than 200milliliter is strictly prohibited. Number three, beer, malt beverages and wine coolers in containers of 16 ounces or less cannot be sold by single containers. They must be sold in prepackaged multiunit quantities. And the commissioner should monitor the area under their control to prevent loitering. And as of looks like yesterday, they still had not received the signed conditions or we havent. We dont know if theyre agreed upon or not. Any southern stations over there . Is 1850 yeah, it looks like that is stil still in southern district. Thats interesting. Chairman well, lets hear from the applicant. Good morning, everyone, my name is char reeves. We take over 1859 Market Street in march, and we waiting for the license to be transferred. The location is being has existed with license for 38 years, with no problem, with no with no violations. And now i agree with all of the conditions, based on the four conditions, i have no problem with it. Im just waiting for the abc to send me the documents so we can sign the conditions and transfer the license. Thank you safe. Chairman thank you. Officer samuson . Yes . Chairman what is the process for the applicant to get their approval of the conditions back to you . Yeah, that would just be a matter of contacting the abc licensing rep.

They have applied for a type 20 license and have approved thiifapproved will allm to operate a beer and wine license. They are in census track 106, which is considered high saturation. The Central Station has no opposition, and the a. L. U. Approves are the following conditions they will control the area, to prevent loitering.

My name is jenna bluster, and im helping with the abc process. Scorponi is a young, italianamerican woman, she went to the university of rome, and was inspired to continue to expand the Italian Community through this particular project. So her goal is to strengthen the Italian Community through the shop, which would allow the type 20 license, which allows for a small area of this to be used for beer and wine sales. Shell also be doing italian meats and cheeses and olive oils, and supporting small producers that she discovers in the bay area and italy. And she is actually in italy right now, which is why we had some difficulties getting her on the call, so. Chairman got it. Vice chair stefani, any thoughts .

I shouldnt have addressed my statement. All right. We will close Public Comment. Very sad. I think that given that supervisor peskin supports the issuance of this license, and our supervisor of all things italian, supervisor stefani, strongly supports it, i think we can direct our clerk to prepare a resolution, finding that the transfer of this Liquor License will advance public convenience and necessity. And vice chair stefani, would you like to make a motion that we forward that to the full board . Yes. Thank you, chair mandelman, i would like to move this item to the full board with positive recommendation. On the motion excuse me, guys, my little corgi.
