The next item on the agenda is item number two general Public Comment. Just a minute. Let me get this. Ah, yes, mr brook. Heres the speaker card. Thank you. And im ready. Hi my name is michael trellis and im here. On behalf of friend um. A fact friends and allies of the castro theater. And as you can see, i am holding up two signs. The first says another planet sucks. The other sign says castro needs films. So um, since another planet took over management of the castro theater. There have been 242 dark nights of absolutely no Programming Using the calendars from now until the end of january, 2024 there will be another 171 dark nights at the castro theater. No movies, no programming. No nothing at the castro theater. Ah what we really need this commission to put it on the agenda. What is happening at the castro theater now, um ive looked at your minutes since january of 2022 and not once. Has the castro theater and another planet been on your agenda. For some reason. The entertainment that we are getting from another planet. And then the dark night when we get no entertainment and the impact of no entertainment, no programs at this theater is never discussed by this panel. Now, stephen torres. Has parlayed his interest in the castro theater into a position on this commission. Hes been on this commission since october. And yet, not once. Has he put it on the agenda. How the ape greedy people or affecting his business at the twin peaks bar. Hes an industry representative, which is really a joke. Hes representing himself. That needs to end. Since steven has shown he has no interest in bringing the castro theater to your agenda. Um, asking the rest of you. As we are facing 171 dark nights from the castro theater, just put it on the agenda. How is the lack of programming affecting the businesses in the castro corridor . It should be a prime importance to stephen torres, but its not. But the month of august there will be only two programs that the castro theater that is unacceptable again. We need this commission to look at another planet and the castro theater. Thank you. Thank you. Is there additional Public Comment for items not listed on the agenda. No more Public Comment for this item. Okay Public Comment is closed. The next item on the agenda is item number three approval of minutes for the august 1st 2023 commission meeting. Do we have a motion . Motion to approve second. Could i make an amendment . Actually um , just, uh, that with the comments made by the representative of the district that their title being noted as director and. That the first comment in regard to opposition was opposition predicated on um commitments that were amenable to the tenants as well. There was a nuance to the opposition. Just if we could annotate that. Okay . Do we. Do we have to adjust the motion motion to approve with commissioner torres is adjustments second. Hey can we have a roll call, please. Or actually, its time for Public Comment. Is there any Public Comment . On the minutes . Yes. Yes. Hello Michael Petrella is again still from fact, friends and allies of the castro theater. Regarding the minute here on item. See about the, um , petition for limited Live Performance at the micro black storefront on Market Street under the Public Comments, it will list someones name say that theyre a neighbor and then commented in opposition or commented in support. Of the permit application. Um well, that is good information. What is missing is knowing just a little bit about why they opposed the permit or why they were in favor of the permit. And, um i think that, um you need to look at revising your minutes to include a little bit of information about why people have slept all the way down here to city hall, or they called into the meeting to make comment to tell us. Um just a little bit about their position. Um. Now regarding comments from tina aguirregaray, um, she takes to identifying factors here, she says. Shes a community member. Any representative from the castro lgbt cultural district, and she commented in opposition to the permit application. Ah as someone who monitors this cultural district. I can tell you that they have not had any public discussion about the micro black application, so im really curious without having to look at the video from your last meeting. Why tina was taking this position. She really would have been speaking only for herself, and if she thinks she was representing the cultural gesture, eqt as some sort of representative of the community , i would challenge her on that. Regarding item seven, tina geary says again as a representative of the cultural district. She thanks the staff for their work offer help to mitigate discussions between businesses and neighbors. Um thats really rich. Um we dont get any discussion from the cultural district. About their positions regarding the castro theater and what theyre gonna say here. So, um thank you for listening. Okay thank you there additional Public Comment on this item. There are no more comments on this item public. Comment is now closed. Can we have a vote, please . One second. Sorry ah, we are doing a vote. Yes um, president camino. I as. I commissioner thomas commissioner torres, right. Hey the Meeting Minutes have been approved. Next item on the agenda is item number four report from the executive director. Thank you, president. Camino good evening commissioners.

Thank you. Okay . Right . Okay, lets do Public Comment. Uh no Public Comment for this item. We have no friends on this item. Okay Public Comment is closed. Next item on the agenda is number five report from the Senior Inspector. Thank you, president camino. Good evening commissioners. We have received 37 311 complaints since our last Commission Hearing on august 1st. I have just one update below. Please let me know if you have any questions. Update is about vanity nightclub located at 4 12. Broadway street, vanity holds a p o e and any hp permit with our office. On monday, july 1st permanent officers saying of Central Station notified Deputy Director as a veto of an incident that occurred outside of vanity on sunday, july 30th at 10. Pm officers saying reported vanity security had denied entry to an individual because they observed that the individual was carrying a rifle in his pants. Patron was told that he could not enter the venue with the weapon. But then security failed to contact sfpd. Once the, uh. Yeah failed to contact sfp v wants the rifle was observed. Then the individual who was carrying the weapon and his group were later involved in a robbery, then assaulted other bystanders in front of vanity. Officers saying stated that the call for service was generated for an assault and requesting an ambulance, sfpd Central Station nor the ec received an incident report from management. As per sfpd. The following violations were observed on july 30th. Not all security staff were wearing their designated uniform. 911 was not immediately called when the security found a patron trying to enter the club with a rifle in their clothes, and there was no incident reports submitted within 24 hours of the assault that occurred later that evening, Deputy Director azevedo issued a citation on august 4th. For the aforementioned permit violations should also be noted that Deputy Director as a veto, attended a meeting with the permit holder and sfpd Central Station captain morino. Permit officers saying and lieutenant gains to discuss the incident. Permitting explained that the effect that Effective Immediately they will no longer be working with the promoter who had been hosting the sunday night events. Okay, commissioners. Any questions, comments . I just have one do regarding the last part, which. I suppose i appreciate that. They wont you know if they found the promoter particularly problematic, obviously in that they connected this to the to the incident. But do they also, um, indicate that theyre going to be following the guidelines are supposed to be following thank you, commissioner. Tourist yes, absolutely. So there is more to come on this first and foremost, the applicant is working on a revised security plan, and then they already all are aware that there will be a directors order to follow to ensure that they are adhering to that, so they have a deadline of submitting that revised security plan by friday, the 18th and then at that time director weiland will issue the revised. Excuse me the directors order. To adhere to the revised security plan. Um and officers saying and i will be going through that closely. Thank you. I had a question. Does the venue have a history of incidents with police . Can you be a little more specific or what is what do you mean by that . I mean, just in terms of like police calls coming to the venue regarding incidents of violence. They know that they said that they will, you know, not work with this promoter. But in terms of past experiences and just curious if its been flagged. Sundays specifically with this promoter have been the problem. Um and which is why specifically, the venue has moved to eliminate working their partnership with them otherwise, officers saying had reported along with an attendance on that meeting was the night lieutenant who often is in the you know when the entertainment is occurring no other issues throughout the week. Its specifically the sunday night party. Okay. Thank you. I guess i do have another question. I know that outside lands is not our jurisdiction. But can you share any, um i dont know. Whats the t when we hear about complaints that were coming in the 311, so we wouldnt receive any of those complaints directly. Those would have been queued to reckon park. Um so i dont have any knowledge of sound complaints, but im happy to check in with their permit staff and see what the numbers are like and see if its comparable to other years. Theyve let me know that its year over year been very similar for quite some time and less. Theyre up for a public hearing in that particular year. Then there might be more complaints. So im an Interesting Data point. Um i went on saturday and i enjoyed my experience. Its always so beautiful in the park and great to see it. Ah totally lit up and filled with people and all of the live music everywhere. Um and its almost already totally packed in, um i live in the area and its so impressive. How um all of the folks working on that event are able to pack it up so quickly. So i think it was a big success. Although im sure youve all heard in the news by now that there was a homicide that occurred on saturday. That was discovered by a resident nearby at 20th, 22nd and fulton. Um at this point, i do not believe there is an excess to the event itself, but were standing by to hear any other Public Information about that. Um again. Its not our jurisdiction, but its still of interest to our nightlife. Um, community. I actually have 11 more question just on that. So i was actually gonna ask this later. But, um it isnt our jurisdiction. But if maybe when you do check in with recreation, and parks asked them about the safety issues that they had regarding the soma stage. I believe there was a collapse. Yeah so that was a structural issue with the summer stage. I do not know exactly what went down. Im happy to check the only other information i received just around like Public Safety was just that. There was quite a bit of illegal vending going on this year, and there was a lot of enforcement out during the day to do education around that, um, but i do still think that it was an issue at the close of each evening. Um so thats all i have to report around that. Okay. Thank you. Okay . Is there a Public Comment on this item. No Public Comment on this item. Okay. Public comment is closed. The next item on our agenda is number six hearing and possible action regarding applications for permits under the jurisdiction of the entertainment commission. Thanks president. Camino good evening commissioners. We have two applications on our Consent Agenda this evening. Both are for indoor llp permits. Um there was no opposition for either permit, and sfpd station did not have any recommendations. So tonight, im recommending that you approve the Consent Agenda with the staff recommended conditions. Okay . Id like to move their consent calendar. Actually, second. Should we . We should do Public Comment after. Oh, sorry, okay. Okay, we have 2nd 1st, and we have a second. Okay . Is there a Public Comment on the permit applications . No problem. 01 Public Comment on this one second. Okay. We just saw this. Alright, im going to bring in real cell orloff. Wrestle if you can hear me, please amuse yourself and you have three minutes. Im not sure i need to comment. I wasnt sure which applications this is for. Is this the one third valencia straight or now . No this is not for valencia street. Apologies. Never mind. Okay, no problem. Okay only other hand that was up so that that means theres no mars conference. No more Public Comment on this item. Thank you. Public comment is closed. Right maybe we have a vote, please. Yes, president camille. I Vice President kamala harris. I. Okay your permit application is conditionally granted. Please follow up with Deputy Director acevedo for next steps. And this goes back to director Deputy Director azevedo. Introduced the first permit application on the regular agenda. Thank you, president. Camino okay, our first permit agenda on a regular excuse me. Our first permit application on our regular agenda is for a limited life performance permit for indoor entertainment and outdoor amplified sound at the front of the premises for white cap located at 36 08 terrible street. Whitecap is a bar that is seeking the llp per permit to host occasional indoor entertainment, such as small bands and djs, along with playing prerecorded music at the front of their business to invite new customers in theyre seeking the outdoor amplified sound monday through friday from 3 to 9 p. M. And saturday and sunday from 2 to 8 p. M. Inspector sabrina has already said an internal sound limit for this permit application, which is reflected in the staff recommendations below the applicant distributed outreach letters to all of his commercial residents and commercial and residential tenants. And we did receive one letter of opposition from a nearby neighbor who voiced concerns to me as well as having an in person meeting with the owner yesterday. So through their discussion, and just as of 4 45 today, i did receive an updated letter from this neighbor who has voiced concerns with the applicant having the ability to host entertainment. Seven days per week inside. Um, however, the applicant would like to move forward with that request. They dont intend to activate daily, but they would like the option to have flexibility for booking. Um so with that said turbo station did not have any added recommendations. And here to speak with you tonight is the owner matt lopez. I am bringing matt lopez in right now, um zoom. All right. Let me try this again. Alright matt, look at something. Im trying to bring you in. Um, if you can accept being a panelist. Should be coming in right now. There we are. Hello. Hello. Hey, there. You guys have me yes. Alright, im here. I lost the desk. There we go. Can you guys hear me . Yes, we can hear you and we can see you as well. Do i talk first . You guys talk talk first. Okay, so, um yeah, weve been, uh, weve been open for about five years and were on 46 and terrible. And occasionally we like to have a dj for events like our anniversary or new years eve or uh, occasionally will do, uh, a night where we. Have a brand come in, and we like to have some dj spinning music on the side. But the bar is very small and we serve craft cocktails. So are on beyonces pretty social people come in there to have a nice drink and talk, and im not necessarily trying to turn this into a into a venue or a place where we do shows or playing music. The dj is just uh, kind of an option to enhance the ambiance. And, um theres not a lot going on on 47th and caravel and especially post covid a lot of peoples habits have changed so people are going to bed earlier. People are going further to go check out new places, so im just doing Little Things the to try to, um just enhance the experience at the bar. And sometimes people like to have a little music or to have some live music. But i dont plan on playing our music loud. It would actually probably said the same volume as our prerecorded music that we play anyway. It was. Its just fun. People like to come out for that kind of stuff. So if we say theres going to be a dj spinning or if we had a 123 person acoustic band that helps us drive customers in and then in regards to the outdoor amplified music, i have a so no system. And i have a so knows move thats about the size of a like a toaster, and we put it. In our window seal. And it creates a little music that goes outdoors, and it adds a little ambiance to our park lit as well as draws people into the bar a little bit. We get a lot of foot traffic on sunny days from people coming off the l tara belt, and when they hear the music, they look in and they go. Oh, look at that place, and usually theyll come visit us on the way back. Actually here. Have been told by customers. We heard the music. We decided to come back after we hit the beach. So, um the bar is very small. Its not really a party spot. Its more of a social atmosphere, and i plan on using the. The llp. For small events. And for new years eve. Our anniversary. Its also good for fundraisers. We do a few fundraisers there. Um. And its just to kind of enhance our business a little bit by, but by no means are we going to be having like a venue type atmosphere because of this. Thats pretty much it. All right. Thank you, matt. K commissioners. Uh, any questions . Okay commissioner perez. Hello matt. Thanks for checking coming in for your presentation. Um yeah. Couple of questions for you, um it says hearing application. You get your plan to start the entertainment right at the same time, youre your best. The operation of business starts. Thats three oclock, right . It starts at the entertainment starts at three and your business starts at three. We dont know when its gonna start because every event will have probably have different timeline, but we just want the option to start at three. If we had a party on saturday or sunday. Thats when we would start around three. But during the week it wouldnt make any sense because you know, most people still go to work. I was just wondering if you have a chance to give whoever is performing to do a sound check before they actually start. Performing yeah, we could do that. But in the okay, but then youll just have to be careful. Uh, because your business starts at three. Not to allow them to be have overly loud sound check. Before your business starts. Oh youre saying because our permit is at three. They need to do. If they did sound check prior to three. Then we would be breaking the rules. Is that correct . Just to be not necessarily. I think you just need to be mindful that if they are planted to sound check that it doesnt go very loud. Okay . Yeah were were pretty mindful anytime we play music because we know that the neighbors have had issues in the past with sound when i initially opened the bar, i held him. Community meeting at the synagogue across the street, and that was one of their issues so im well aware of it. In addition to that, my landlord is directly above me so i have to be extra careful with the noise because he lives there. All right, okay, thats question on your application, he said musicians will bring their own sound equipment, if you if you have, um live music, so if they are bringing their own equipment , who will be managing to make sure that they dont go over too loud was usually have a dedicated staff. Yeah i have a manager. So anytime we have an event, my manager will be present. And hell check the entertainment in and hell be in charge of monitoring the sound. Okay . And then if they are any complaints by your neighbors, uh, will that complaint be answered by staff in real time. Yeah, ive given. Um most of the neighbors my phone number. So for example, melissa has my phone number. The neighbor who has the concerns and her and i communicate. So if she has an issue or the neighbor between her and myself. Tam has an issue or my landlord whos above me as an issue. They always text me. We actually havent had too many issues, but i have open communication via text with them. And we i live a few blocks away from the bar, so im responsive when i get those texts. Okay. Thank you, matt. Thank you. Go ahead, just a couple of questions first. Remind me what was in the space before you opened white cap. It was boarded up. It had been boarded up for a while. I heard they were gambling. I heard they were doing pai gow, okay . Right thank you. And also have you engaged with the sunset chinese cultural district. In what way . Well youre in their footprints. So i was wondering if youd done some engagement with them, um, to start some communications , seahawk, howya could be mutually beneficial to each other. No, but i went to holy name elementary school. And it was 90 asian. So i have a lot of friends and a lot of them come to the bar. Okay okay to any organization. Okay uh, well , im glad to hear you have a lot of friends. Um but the sunset chinese cultural district is part of the Cultural District Program through the city and county of San Francisco. Which center um these cultures within our city and try to keep, uh, keep them as part of our neighborhoods and keep them. Um healthy and so, uh, you know, one thing that is important to the end is that there is a ah, healthy relationship between businesses that opened in with open up within these cultural districts and the cultural district itself. Would you . Would you. Be willing to engage with the cultural district to see how you might be mutually beneficial to each other. Yeah im willing to engage as any neighbor resident in the outer sunset. Okay. Thank you. Hey thank you, commissioner. I just make a comment for the record the regarding the cultural district engagement that the intake meeting that i held with matt was prior to implementing this suggestion of communicating with the cultural district, so i just want to go on the record. To let you all know that sure. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much. Okay thank you. Alright any other commissioner comments questions for the permit applicant . No, okay. All right. Is there any Public Comment on this permit application . Good evening commissioners. Um although im a registered lobbyist. Im not a client of matt. I just want to say that ive done other projects in that area and ive communicated with him. He is a very good character person, and when he says hes going to do something, hes going to do it. So i think when he took this place over five years ago, a lot of people thought, oh, wow, hes going to come in and do this and that and some people said, oh, that may or may not work. Well, ill tell you one thing. Its worked, and hes done a great job in that space, and, um, with a little bit of activity across the street. That provides a little cultural vibrancy for that underserved area. I grew up in 35 28 terror, which is about a half a block away from that, and i can tell you you know, in my early years that was a sleepy block. And if anything, there was a lot of negative, um, impacts down there at that time , and what hes put on is more eyes. More ears. Um he also is a great surfer didnt tell you that, but hes hes known in that area is being pretty accomplished. But hes hes a stand up guy, and i think that we should trust him with this permit, and i really applaud him for what he did in that space. Okay thank you. Is there additional Public Comment on this . There are no more Public Comment for this item. Hey Public Comment is now closed. Okay, commissioners. Do we have a motion to approve the permit . So moved second hey. Can we have a vote, please . Yes, president camino. I Vice President kamala harris. Hey your permit application is conditionally granted. Please follow up with the Deputy Director for next steps. Thank you have a good evening. Okay. Thank you. Alright great. The next application are on our agenda tonight is for a limited life performance permit for trinity, located at 18 51 union street. The applicant is seeking an llp permit toast indoor entertainment, such as live bands and djs in two locations within their downstairs bar area, as well as entertainment, such as a pianist or jazz trio, and theyre upstairs. Private events based Senior Inspector is arena has already set an internal sound limit in the rear dj area, and well set the other internal limits. When the businesses sound system is ready. I would like to note that we have received 13 sound complaints about trinity since april, 12 2023 and we have already issued them to citations one in april 2023 and the other in july. 2023 these are for hosting entertainment without a permit. Another note id like to make is that the business is currently unable to operate with their doors closed due to a fire safety issue with their doors. The Fire Department is requiring them to fix their doors so that they can operate with them closed but currently they are required to be open, which is likely the cause of many of these sound complaints. The applicants are, they sent out an outreach letter to the commercial businesses and residential units on their block on union street, laguna street and green street. And all of this documentation is in your file tonight. They received think as of now, were up to, um 13 letters of support, but only six are reflected in your file this evening, just due to them coming in since ive been here. Um and we also received 11 letters of opposition for the application. Originally there were 12 letters of opposition, but one person actually withdrew their opposition after learning about the parameters of the llp permit. I replied to every person who reached out with education, and i offered to put them in touch with the applicants directly, but nobody took me up on that offer. I think its important to note that the initial scope of trinitys llp application included outdoor amplified sound in their breezeway. But after neighbors reached out with concerns about this, the applicants would withdrew the outdoor amp sound component. So now the application is only for indoor entertainment further. Ive made it very clear to the applicants that if approved tonight we would not issue there llp permit until they have remediated their door issue and they can operate with them closed. Obviously washroom. Sfpd northern station has recommended that you deny this permit application tonight. Based on the history of violations at the business thus far when i spoke with him about his position, he said that he and his surgeon felt strongly that the llp permit is somewhat of a reward and that the operators havent proven themselves to be good actors. Yet if you have any questions, please let me know otherwise, im happy to introduce the owners. Lets go ahead and bring it. Okay. Great owners this evening, Johnny Matheny and nick bonnie. Good evening. So i just brought some pictures of our bar and restaurant to show i think with the misunderstanding is for the noise violations so far down here, um another, uh, detail i wanted to share with you is i have taken over as the Owner Operator subsequent are violations. We had a manager in place who um, was electing to have Live Performances. Maybe without our permission. So um, um first things first are breezeway is here. Can you see this . So this is the area that we will not be putting speakers up. Um, as kind of a handshake with the community, so we dont want to be a nuisance, so were going to keep that area. Unamplified. Weve also put in ivy as well as lattice here in case the doors were open for people coming and going, that noise would be captured. Um or muffled. Um, secondly, i think. Upstairs is a hidden gem in the marina. Um are upstairs area here is photographed today. So this upstairs area will not be having any amplified sound. Um this area came with a baby grand piano, so its clearly a place where people perform music before, even if it was a private show. Um, i worked at sf jazz. I worked at black Hat Jazz Club when we opened it, um, i want to bring that to the marina. I do not want to do. Um crazy dj shows like you trade down the street. Uh um. I think this is a gem. That could really be, um, bring all ages cultures. Um and people coming not just from the arena, but north beach parks tree pac heights. Um we have had interest in people. Young singer songwriter wanted to her album launch there and she just sings acapella. We have a seven year old showtunes pianist wants to sing show tunes up there. Ah we have dave rickets of gaucho jazz , who performs behind absinthe and comstock. He wants to perform up there. Ah, um but not only up there, wed like to have that kind of music. But downstairs in our back bar as well, i think we can have the jazz. Trio we could have, uh, country band. Um so i just wanted to kind of clarify that were not just going for a absolute crazy club scene. Um which i dont think would even work just to 11. Um another picture of our back bar here. Just to show you. Um i think this is the area of contention. Um so this bar is where are louder music is being played. You can kind of see the speakers. Top right. Um, this is the bar at the moment. We cannot close the doors because of a fire issue. Um. We need a building Building Permit to do this. So we are in the process of that weve applied. Weve been waiting for two months for that. As soon as that happens, we will flip that door, so its compatible for fire and keep it shut at all times, comply with the llp as well as make the neighbors happy. Speaking of the neighbors, johnny has the numbers of the most frequent. A neighbor with concerns. Um the neighborhood believe is called double digits. And uh, we do get his text and we do. Turn it down. Um and tell them that we at the moment we cant shut the doors. These noise complaints are not for life performances. However, these are just um, standard playing of the music at night. I guess ill show you that door as well. Sorry im the least technological advanced 32 year old ever so. So this door here. Is at the end of that bar that enters the breezeway. Um that door at the moment is a fire exit, so must remain open. Um johnny. Anything youd like to say. I would like to do is that yeah, ive got two goals to support the live music scene in terms cisco. That is what weve been. Weve been acting next passed in my past two as well. And we did have a hiccup with one violation. What are we just had a miscommunication with the manager, but weve clean staff. Nick came in full time, and i took more active role pretty recently. We are willing to do what . Whatever it takes to, uh appeased neighbors. We like i said, like, give my phone number out to any neighborhood complaints at all. Were willing to make sure that they have all of our information. If theres ever any issues at all, we turned it down, and weve always been year trying to work with this organization and make a francisco better place for everybody. Thank you commissioners. Any questions for our guests . Upstairs piano marks that thats a private area. Yes, parties, okay . Um. Musicians could potentially rented out in charge of ticketed fee. And then uh, it would still be a private area, though. Yeah. Got it. And then for the in terms of the door, so currently it has to remain open. But theres some sort of technological solution is at the like a fire door or something that can put be put there or whats the whats the solution . There simply switch the hinges. So it opens outwards instead of in it, i guess for fire its an emergency fire door, so ours is in case somebody needs to bust out. Yeah. It was actually installed backwards. Theres a sealant on the inside of the window of the door. Which is we didnt install that. Yeah weve been waiting for building waiting for the Building Department for quite a few months. As long as weve been talking with you trying to get their making us get a permit to do it, so were waiting to get the permit from Building Department. Okay . Okay. Thank you. Okay commissioner perez. Question for staff. Can you remind us what the two citations were for . Can you repeat that . You remind us what the two citations previously. Were for sure, the initial one was for well. They were both for hosting entertainment without a permit, so the first one was issued in april of this year for hosting entertainment at 1 a. M. We responded to a noise complaint and then the second citation was issued in july, and there was entertainment at 9 15 pm okay. Thank you. Oh my questions about your hours of operation for the live entity or the entertainment it says here, 9 a. M. To 11. But you always have operation starts at three pm is that typo . I, uh so we open weekdays at four, but we do open saturday sunday at 9 30 10. Um we are full restaurant , so were doing brunch drag brunch. We want to have a little bit of availability to have live musicians at that time as well. Okay doubt we would do that more than once a month for the morning. But given all that outdoor space, it seems like, um were going to be busy when its beautiful. And saturday morning, saturday sunday morning, yeah. So youre always operations . Actually not three pm its earlier than that. 33 pm on weekdays is when we open yes, on saturday and sunday. Thats correct. Yeah but on your proposed in their entertainment hours, nine am on weekdays. Typo make sure okay. So what are your requesting then requesting 5 p. M. To 11 on weekdays. Commissioner. I just would like to interject for the record, so the llp permit application allows for indoor entertainment between the hours of 9 a. M. Um to 11 pm and often times when businesses do their intake with me we talked about you know what is your proposed programming and often its like, well, i dont really know yet because were new and so the scope of the requested entertainment hours is often reflected as nine am to 11 pm but since its indoors, theres no cap on ours. So a lot of folks i would say 99 of our applicants put nine am to 11 pm even if thats not their normal operating hours in the event, there is a private booking. Theres a holiday. A for those reasons, so i dont actually i would say its not a typo because i typed it. Um and so and i know that thats what they were. We talked about during intake. Um but it doesnt necessarily mean that thats an everyday its just giving flexibility feature another bug. Okay thank you for clarifying that, okay . Thank you for that clarification so intense. Um and then who will be responsible for answering, um neighborhood complaints in real time, so im there five days a week, probably 80 hours a week. Um and johnny is there or a block down his other bar. Um 80 hours a week as well. I do live five blocks up the hill and johnny lives about five blocks the other direction, so we are always around. I really i mean, im a servant cisco local. I do not want to be a nuisance. Yeah and they are your phone numbers there on the website. How will people access that . Yes both of our phone numbers will be on there. Okay. Thank you. Hmm. Okay . Just, um. You have generated a fair amount of neighborhood opposition, um to this with a lot of folks with concerns about the Current Operations and the absence of this permit, including a history of operating without a permit to the point that the Police Department actually recommended not approving this, which is pretty unusual. I cant remember the last time we had a permit in front of us that had the Police Department actually recommending against it. Um why tell me how things would be different once you had this permit compared to how they are now and what you will do to mitigate this relationship with your neighbors moving forward. Well, first of all, i we have not had a live performer since. Change of management as well as that last citation. That was a pretty big red flag that we needed to change. Um change management and also get a grasp on everything going down at that location. Um secondly, i think closing those doors and bringing other types of music to that venue will show that were not just so one dimensional in terms of being a nine pm to two am bar. We want to be a 5 p. M. To 10 p. M. Um place of music, food and drink. Um. I think. Our bar at the moment has, you know . Trivia has bingo night. Its not just exclusively nightclub, but were being pigeonholed is slightly by the bar that closed one block down. Um, which was a trade and that i think that brought a unsavory note to the neighbors that thats where they banded together, and were not going to allow that to happen on their street again. Um rightfully so, i think. That kind of nightclub crowd doesnt belong on union street belongs soma. And other areas of the city where its built for that. Um yeah, im im not a night club. Go. Er, um i like to be. Music venues like black cat or keys jazz club. Um or i just saw of all these four seasons in the green room across the street. Last sunday or two sundays ago. Um so i think showing the community that would be, uh an honor for us to do as well and maybe redeem us. Right. Thank you. I guess i guess i just would like a little bit more clarification on on what . Commissioner thomas was asking you is, you know, um without vilifying nightclubs or or that kind of genre of entertainment. I. I work in the industry. I know that. Bingo and drag brunches are also very loud. And so, um, i guess in the interim, if you got the license if you got the permit now and youre still waiting. For db or whatever for the for the door. How are you going to mitigate . The sound factor in a way that isnt going to raise the ire of the residents whove been complaining pretty consistently this whole time. The main thing is we worked with caitlin and the police were not gonna basically have this permit issued to us and were not gonna start any kind of live music until we do have the clearance in the Building Department to change the doors and we can close the doors. Um i think since those complaints we have invested in uh, lattice. Wouldnt let us to try and absorb sound as well as, um, noise canceling curtains. Um things of this nature, but, um, i think were not gonna as soon as you get a permit. Have any entertainment. We needed the stores shot we need to be able to keep the decimal level down. Andrew was buying and we clearly saw what the doors open. Um it could be a nuisance. But with the doors closed, it was well under um, the ambiance. That the noise of the street. Okay thank you. Is there any additional questions . Comments . Ok, thank you. Alright um, lets go to Public Comment. Is there any Public Comment on this item . Looks like theres no Public Comment for this item. Hey Public Comment is closed. Okay, do i have . Is there a motion . I moved to approve with stark for recommendations. Second okay . Okay um, president camino. I. Commissioner prodis commissioner thomas and commissioner torres. Hi. Hey your permit application is conditionally granted. Please follow up with our Deputy Director for next steps. Okay. The next permit application. On a regular agendas for a place of Entertainment Permit for the conservatory at one sansom and the holbrooke house, which is located at one sansom street. This is a new state of the art event space that also has a restaurant inside during the day, the conservatory is open to the public and at nights and on weekends, it can be rented out for private events. The restaurant will have its own hours of operation, but together are under one Ownership Team and one p o e application staff will be setting an internal sound limit in accordance with Municipal Police code article 29 once the applicants have their sound system set up, they plan to use the peewee permit for live music during weddings, corporate events, buyouts, etcetera, and the applicant has conducted extensive outreach, sending out over 500 letters to their immediate neighbors, none of which are residential. There was no opposition for this permit in Central Station has included their standard calendar ring condition, which is reflected below here to speak with you tonight is the manager of the space fill spiegel. How are we . Yeah im taking that as good. Uh you know, we are starting this project. My Company Started this project about 2. 5 years ago, working with prudential and the thought in mind was trying to reinvigorate something on the corner of sansom, sutter and Market Street and to do something that was unique. And you know, i kind of want to express that this is a three pronged project. One of its pretty easy and its a bar and a restaurant inside the lobby of an Office Building and from a sound perspective, theres really no issue. Um, you know, its going to be a very Traditional Space monday through friday there to actually service and embrace the financial district. Were going to be open for sit down breakfast. Were gonna be open for sit down lunch. And then it is a small plate happy hour business into the evening. Now we are requesting from that space. Were going to be open from 7 30 in the morning until midnight monday through friday to start well see you know where the financial district has a tendency to get very sleepy, but were going to walk into this with some with some hopes. The actual public space, which is attached to this building the one sansom Street Building that you might be familiar with. The public spaces in 8000 square foot old london, paris bank. Its a beautiful space that has a Glass Ceiling and glass wall marble walls and weve just installed these new glass doors with prudential, who owns the asset and im literally attendant in the space. Um we plan you know, part of our goal is to actually activate that public space. So monday through friday, the owner of the building prudential in conjunction with Barker Pacific group there is there managing partner has given my company a budget to spend on the public and we intend to do so. So we will have you know, once again were in the financial district. So the type of event were talking about is, you know, hosting a barrys bootcamp at 7 30 in the morning for free to the neighborhood we actually met with the marine corps to have their band played during fleet week. You know, on one of the big days, you know, leading up to it, and we intend to do things quite frankly, to entertain the public in a very sterile way. You know, the fact that matter is were on, you know, by a conservative company, and were in a conservative neighborhood and thats you know , thats how were going to be working as so we have the restaurant and thats a pretty Pretty Simple thing. We have the public space, which were really, really excited about. And then we have the space the same space thats a public space when it is private, and that space becomes private. Monday through friday. Im sorry, saturdays and sundays and holidays and 12 days a year monday through friday, we have a condition to close the space for a 24 hour period 24 times a year monday through friday, we can close 75 of the space at two oclock and close the space at five oclock. The reality of that for our company is our goal is to do about 72 events a year and you can see that number is specific for a reason. And that is our intentions are to have 40 events on a saturday 10 on a sunday 12. Of the days that were allotted by the city to have some fun and interesting events. Most of them will be fundraisers and i could list some that were already doing and then mostly neighborhood holiday parties for the businesses that are in the neighborhood, so its a very specific um, its a very specific event plan once again, this is, you know, owned by a large company. This is not going to be, um you know, our band is going to be wedding bands, you know, were going to have you know the dj, the traditional djs and wedding bands that play an events and if you were to go to a traditional christmas party, whatever that version of entertainment would be. So thats the overall you know, three pronged effect, and then me and my company are running that you know, i spent the last 12 years running a very Similar Company for clint reilly, three blocks down the street, including the julia morgan ballroom, the Merchants Exchange club and created a restaurant. Our director of operations vicky tom spent 19 years as the director of operations at the olympic club before its spending five years with me at clint reilly companies. And lillian fan whos my director of events spent six years with me at clint reilly companies before moving to michael minute as their director of events. And we have a presentation. If were interested. Come back here. And use the arrows to walk. You know, more or less. This first slide is telling you what i just told you, um, although we do have you can see the capacity there so we can do up to 1072 people. Thats when we combine all three spaces, you know, quite frankly, thats a rarity. The 2 72 concentrated for a public event. Is also, you know, quite frankly, um not gonna happen a whole lot if you go into the public space currently which is already open, youll notice theres somewhere between 2030 to 40 people there having lunch potentially on a daily basis, and were hoping to increase that, um, for i mean, honestly, not really for financial gain just to bring activity to where we are and to bring some vivacity to the neighborhood. Okay so you can you know you can see here. Its pretty much what i already said. So im going to go to who were already working with. So you know, right off the bat. I mean, i have a history of doing events in my career, so we launched with doing a mission. Dolores Academy Luncheon for father jagans 80th birthday party. Um and im quite sure we didnt get any noise complaints for that, but we definitely had a good time. We are. We did some we did the sports auction with the guardsmen. We have september 23rd event with sf parks alliance. The Junior League is on our calendar. The christie yamaguchis always dream is on our calendar. Um San Francisco ballet, the San Francisco opera we these are the types of events that we already have scheduled for the upcoming 2000 end of 2023 and 2024 year. From a Liquor License perspective. We currently have a, you know, 47. Thats in hand. We have a 58 catering permit, as well as 68 portable bar permits as well. And i think you can. You can see here. Were talking about all of our Liquor Licenses and when we posted it and that we had a chamber of commerce hard hat tour, we did all the requiring outreach the abc on site inspection we walked through, with officers saying actually also walked through with officer moren. Oh and weve been in a full outrage. We had San Francisco travel there. We had. Mosconi center with us we had the Downtown District benefit district with us. So weve weve gone through the motions with the community. You can see the live posting here thats been up. And you know, as we as you just read, we sent out the letters to more than 500 Community Outreach to our neighborhood, all businesses. We dont have any residential in our neighborhood. And thats uh, thats the story. Okay thank you so much. What a beautiful space. Yeah, it should be fun. Okay commissioner has any questions . It looks like a really gorgeous space. I look forward to seeing what . What you do with it. Me too. Laura we think were going to be open september 9th. Thats our thats our hope, and were getting there. Great yeah, its just its exciting to have new things opening in the financial district for all the obvious reasons, so thank you. And i dont know how much sterile entertainment youre going to be able to get away with in San Francisco. I dont think we do sterile energy. Well, you know, we in this business, you know, we definitely have you know Adam Sandlers singing the wedding singers for a lot of our events. You know when i say were doing 40, saturdays 30 of them will be involved white dresses. Most likely so you know they can get crazy, but in a different way. Okay . All right. Thank you. Um, any other questions . No okay. You can go ahead and have a seat. Thank you. Is there any Public Comment on this permit application . There are no Public Comment on this item. Okay. Thank you. Public comment is closed. Okay commissioners. Do we have a motion to approve this permit . Id like to make a motion to approve this permit. Second. Can we have a vote, please . Yes president , camino Vice President sleiman, commissioner perez, commissioner thomas and commissioner torres. Hey your permit application is conditionally granted. Please follow up with Deputy Director azevedo for next steps. Okay in our last permit application on this agenda, im bringing up Senior Analyst rice. Thank you. Good evening, commissioners. The final permit on our regular gent. Tonight is an amendment for a one time outdoor event permit from Valencia Corridor Merchants Association to host Outdoor Entertainment and amp. Sound with extended duration for their dancing in the streets series. The serious features bands, djs, drag performances and dance lessons over three blocks section of valencia. The proposed dates and times are saturdays from august 19th through november 18th from 5 to 8 p. M. Were bringing this permit to a hearing due to the high density of sensitive receptors and permitted businesses and the valencia commercial corridor. States permit is an amendment because the series officially kicked off on saturday, july 22nd. We administratively approved them to the First Saturdays in order to prevent a gap in operations before coming to a hearing tonight for the remaining dates. Senior folder permit application. The events, scheduled locations and site plan and their Neighborhood Outreach materials. During the events. Initial dates we received five complaints at the sound was too loud, and we received two letters of opposition to this permit with the same concerns about loud volume, youll find these items in your folder. We did not receive any recommendation from mission station within the response window, and we assume we have no issues with the amendment. Staff is recommending approval with conditions listed in the memo. In terms of a sound limit. Were recommending that the volume battery amplified sound does not exceed ambien levels at 100 ft from the property plane because they this area is densely activated without rectified sound and be the area has a large number of sensitive receptors. Here to speak with you this evening is renee, colorado on behalf of the Valencia Corridor Merchants Association. Mm hmm. Thank you. Im renee. Im here representing the valencia quarter Emergency Association for amplified some permit. Um were going to be hosting djs, drag performances, um, salsa event. Ah ah ah and ill be on site every saturday. Um 5 to 8. Ah i have reached out to, um we did pascal notices on the footprint larger than needed. This is because i wanted to make everyone aware, um, like the commissioner was saying, um ah, there is a lot of homes there. Um and there is past complaint, so i want to make sure that we keep the decibel levels low. Um, 100. Ft. Should be no problem. Um the speakers that the djs are using our five inch speakers to at most, so theyre not large. Its not large equipment. Um, by any means, yeah. Okay. Thank you. Um any questions . No, okay. Good. All right. Well, thank you. Why dont you go ahead and have a seat . Is there a Public Comment on this item . We had someone from before. Theres one on zoom. Is there anyone in there is nobody in the room. Okay . One. Oh sorry. Theres one person in the room one second, ill keep the super brief. This just sounds awesome. Please more of these sort of activities in the streets. We know it generates some noise, but that makes a vibrant city. Its all within reasonable hours. This area was built for this sort of thing has a long history of wonderful activities. Im looking forward to this. Im glad theyre producing it. My name is scott paper. I used to be a mission and some economic celsius. Ill speak on item seven later. Thank you. Thank you. Okay alright, will bring in as one person on zoom. Russell orloff. If you can hear me, please mute yourself and you have three minutes. Okay um, i love the valencia street closures. Its loads of fun. Unfortunately there is a, uh, downstage right in front of my building where the djs play right across the street from tomatoes, and its very, very, very loud. Um this last, uh, initial run that they had at two oclock. They did a sound check the walls of my building were shaking. They then started playing intermittently between two and five. There were supposed to start at five. I believe and kept going till eight. So it was basically six hours of really loud music, and i dont know that theres uh any way that that music that loud enough for people to dance, too, is not going to be very annoying to people in the buildings all around the sound stage there. I was hoping that maybe they could just do the sound stage with the dj at our end of valencia street once a month and maybe switch it up, you know, let the amplified music be on some of the other blocks. Sometimes maybe let us have some of the, uh, you know, the quieter unamplified bands that play up the street. Its uh you know, i get off work at four. Every day i come home, and if its you know, 4 15, and theres like music playing outside my window for 3. 5 hours. Um you know, i cant take a nap after my work, and i think people are allowed to have a reasonable amount of quiet time , um, in their own homes, and i talked to some of my neighbors about this. A lot of them are older people who dont necessarily know how to you know, coming to these meetings on zoom or will not send emails and they dont like it either. Theyre upset about it, but theyre just going to like, live with it and be miserable. Im just thinking. Maybe theres some compromise. Where where you know they can have the party in the streets. But the corner of valencia in 21st doesnt have to be ground zero for super loud amplified music. Every saturday. Between now and november 18th. Its just too much. Um yeah, thats all i have to say. Thank you. Okay thank you. Is there additional Public Comment on this item . No more comments for this item. Okay. Thank you. Commissioners i would like to just for the record and provide some context that i didnt include the amendment, which might be helpful for this conversation is that there is another activation happening on valencia street that noise pop is producing called summer of music from from 2 to 5 oclock on many of those same saturdays. Ah its fun. Put that up there. Dylan how long does summer of music run . I can look it up shortly, but its um it was 12 saturday, starting in june or something. So its almost over, though its i think its september. I want to stay and please forgive me. If im wrong. I need to confirm that just, uh , confirm with stuff. This was the summer music series that we approved few few meetings ago. Yeah, that is correct. Mhm. Okay . All right. Do we have emotion . My motion to approve with staff recommendations. Can we entertain the idea of switching up the amplified sound. Not just in that one corner per the request of the one from one of the neighbors. Is that something that we can ask the promoter . If they could, they would consider doing Something Like that. Im not sure its something id be comfortable conditioning, but i think you know, having some education and outreach. I also think that you know if the permit is 100 ft. Um then maybe just this is just a sound limit. Educating opportunity here where maybe the sound can be as loud as it has been. It also sounds like this, you know . This is was summer of music to me for some of that, at least, you know. But you know, my feeling is always that that thats why were here. And when somebody like the caller is having an issue, then we bring people together and we turn things down and we sort things out, and thats why we thats what our permit does, you know, and it brings you into our our spectrum and then and then its their job. Nurse. I am inclined to agree. I think that i also appreciate what . Um, the Public Comment that we received but also. Knowing how, um delicate and difficult it is to implement, um, events of this nature that to try and switch things around can prove untenable. So i think i agree with Vice President clinton that this is a learning opportunity where and do outreach and help bring folks together. So i have made a motion to approve with staff recommendations. Second thank you. Um can we have a vote, please . Yes uh, president camino i rice president lyman high commissioner says commissioner thomas i commissioner torres. Alright. Okay your permit application is conditionally granted. Please follow up with Senior Analyst rice for next steps. Hey the last item on the agenda is item number seven hearing and possible action to suspend permit number ec 1452. To revoke it should say revoke sorry. Okay, im gonna say it again. Yes, it is. Probably its okay. Its okay. I have the capacity correct myself. Its alright. Not embarrassed. Just on television. You guys okay. The last time item on the agenda is item number seven hearing impossible action to revoke permit number e c 145 places of entertainment issued to Jose Montesinos special suspension notice served to caesar montesinos db a straddles nightclub located at 358 ocean avenue, San Francisco. Okay so i would like to provide an update regarding this matter. The entertainment commissions executive director weiland as charging parties submitted a complaint for suspension of the place of Entertainment Permit for stratis nightclub on july 14th 2023. The hearing was initially set for august 1st 2023 but was continued to today. August 15 at the request of stratus council due to a family emergency. I granted the continuance under section six and 13 of the hearing procedures. On wednesday, august 10th director weiland submitted a new complaint for revocation of stratus place of Entertainment Permit based on new information they received on august 9th. Director weiland invoked their right to seek hearing on the permit revocation within five days notice under Section Three of the hearing procedures, which provides that when the charging official determines that exigent circumstances apply notice shall be made to the parties in writing, not less than five days prior to the date of hearing the term exigent circumstances means circumstances which pose a substantial risk of serious harm to the safety of persons or property. The charging partys determination of exigent circumstances shall be in writing shall include the grounds upon which the determination is made based on the existence of exigent circumstances, and the chief of police chief of Fire Department or director of Public Health must concur in the determination. The charging party included as an exhibit to their complaint, a written determination that exigent circumstances exist, which included a written concurrence from the police chief william scott, as required by Section Three of the hearing procedures. The parties were required to submit their pre hearing documents and the permit holder was required to submit their answer to the new complaint by sunday, august 13th however, on monday morning, stratos is counsel requested for another continuance due to another emergency this morning of august, 15th. The parties came to an agreement to postpone the hearing yet again to september 1920 23, and thats stratus would suspend its entertainment operations until the hearing on september 19th. In order to accommodate stratos is attorney and balance that with Public Safety concerns raised by the charging party. In light of this. I propose that the hearing on the complaint to revoke the place of Entertainment Permit of stratus be heard on september 19th. I also proposed that the commission require the parties to submit a written stipulation that would include a statement regarding the agreement they made on august 14 and 15. Regarding the postponement of the hearing date and suspension of stratus is entertainment operations until september, 19th and a new Briefing Scheduled for the september 19th hearing. I would like to require the parties to submit that stipulation in two weeks by tuesday, august 19th. So i asked the commission to make a motion. Just for clarity. Um in two weeks on august 29th, we would submit by august 19 august 29th in two weeks. Yes. Okay. Yes, okay. Okay . How should the motion be constructed . Is there. Just a little confused. All right. Sorry. Im happy to make the motion i just dont want this is more official than were used to. So i just want to make sure. Alright, so. I would like to motion that. I would like to move that the hearing on the charging parties complained to revoke stratus. This place of entertainment. Perfect permit be set for september 1920 23. Is that one motion and then we have to vote on another motion. Or how does this work . Does anybody know you can include all of it . And i would also like to move that the parties submit a written stipulation by no later than tuesday, august 29 2023 that would include a statement regarding their agreement to postpone the hearing. Date and suspension of stratus is entertainment operations until september, 1920 23 and a new Briefing Schedule for the september 19th 2023 hearing. Seconded. Thank you. Is there a Public Comment on this item . There are no Public Comment was kidding. Just kidding. Also speak for a moment. Just fully recognizing and brief that youre this will be heard later. Clearly there problems. Im a neighbor of stratus. No seas are working hard. I see him working hard all the time. I know they have uniforms. Security outside , they do their best to keep their guests and people in line is generally peaceful situation. Of course, theres been two incidences that havent been but are building a business is right next door and i found the new positive neighbors and i appreciate that they keep the end of the block active. Um and again. I know theyre working hard and nobody wants to see what happened happened again. But hopefully theres a path that can help keep that business opens. We dont know the blood splatter around spot around. There. But maybe ill see you on the 19th. Thank you for your understanding. Take care. Thank you. Is there additional Public Comment on this item .
