I know that a lot of it is not a your jurisdiction. But you can at least uh, imposed some conditions or at least have empathy. Um 11th street 300 block 11 straight pinfall. Some in harrisons got to be a mess. But between the hours of lets say, uh, midnight and three a. M. There so many double parked cars and theres so many cars are leeway parked in the bus lanes and then i mean the but i mean the bike, bicycle lanes and double parked in the traffic and the traffic lanes. It impedes the bus, the bus line and mps other try. Amputation providers such as taxis again, the uber and lyft drivers are out of control. But but the point is, is that they could pull over if, um, if they actually at the enforced some white zones or they put up cones. You should honor vlad vlad, who owns butter and the sports bar questions street for actually putting up cones and keeping this space is clear in front of his venue. Also dna lounge is pretty good, because they they have a bus zone and a Outdoor Dining area that they keep enforced, but but the problem is the other clubs are not being Good Neighbors by making by by made by buying, making it so that their staff and others dont park in front of their clubs. Is making it very difficult to serve the public there, so i appreciate that you look into this issue at least take a look at it. Uh now when youre out there, uh, enforcing other laws, another codes. Thank you very much for your time and letting me speak. Thank you. Any more Public Comment. Theres none on zoom.

In addition to the notices of violation, citations were given to hotel via for exceeding their sound limit and to trinity irish bar and restaurant for hosting entertainment without a permit. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these Enforcement Actions. Um but first update tonight is about the brixton, located at 21 40 union street. They hold an llp for indoor entertainment from our office. We received a complaint on may 6th stating loud music was escaping the bar inspectors. Ellen ac, responded to the complaint that same day. 3 40. Pm upon arrivals. You found that three large doors of fronting the sidewalk and their main entry door were open. D j. Was performing in the back right corner of the business with speakers facing the front doors along with their t v s playing loudly. She took a sound measurement that showed them to be in compliance with their sound limit and spoke to the manager about closing the doors as per the Good Neighbor policy. He made an effort to close the doors, which was interrupted by the owner approaching them to say that they were allowed to operate entertainment with the doors open, which is not true. Deputy director azevedo. Issued a citation on may 9th for violating the Good Neighbor policy and advised the owner to keep the doors closed during entertainment. The second update i have for you tonight is in regards to white rabbit, located at 31 38 fillmore street who holds a p o e from our office. We received a complaint on may 5th regarding volume and heavy bass presence. Inspector fiorentino responded to the complaint on may 6th at 11 55. Pm when he arrived, the front door was closed and interior sound measurement showed them to be operating slightly above their sound limit. He met with the manager who was able to bring their base frequencies down into compliance. Inspector fiorentino reminded him to keep the front door closed when hosting Live Entertainment. We received a second complaint later that night on the morning of may, 7th again describing high music volumes. Inspector fiorentino responded to the complaint that night at 12 30 am when he arrived, the front door was closed but confirmed there was a heavy bass presence heard from the exterior of the venue. And when he went outside and recorded sound measurement, it showed them to be operating six dbc above their allowable limit. He spoke with the manager again and explain theyve received another sound complaint. After a couple of attempts, the manager was able to bring the volume into compliance. This was the second violation in three hours that inspector fiorentino had observed on may 9th Deputy Director as vato. Issued a citation for violating their sound limit. And thats all. Im not seeing any questions. Is there any Public Comment on the inspectors report . There are no Public Comments for this report. Alright well close Public Comment will move on to number six, which is updates on nightlife, business assistance, which i believe is ben van howden. Normally i would give him a rousing welcome, but were trying to do this efficiently this evening. So thank you for being here, ben. Sounds like above our pay grade here. Good thing. We have a policeman here. I can hear from back. Okay, great. Good evening commissioners ben ben howard from the office of economic and Workforce Development with a short update for you all tonight. First off a quick update on the bills that we are monitoring in the California State Legislature related to the nightlife sector. Um all four of these bills are continuing to move forward. There are some Additional Committee hearings and floor hearings later this month. But just as a quick recap thats a b 24, which requires certain businesses, including bars to post opioid antagonist kits where they are provided by the state. A b 3 74, which allows dispensaries to sell non prepackaged food and drinks and also to sell tickets to entertainment events. Sb 76, which would enable local governments to designate entertainment zones for shared outdoor concert Alcohol Consumption and would also provide some important reforms to the state music venue. Liquor license to enable music venue licenses to host private events and then sb 4 95, which would provide a licensing system to authorize the delivery of mixed drinks from restaurants and bars to consumers, so all four of those bills are continuing to move forward. At this time. Uh few local updates here after a number of hearings supervisor dorseys legislation focused on south of market which was part planning code reorganization and then also provided a number of reforms related to entertainment and Small Business uses in south market was approved by the board of supervisors of relevance to this group. But that legislation extended the proposition h patio reforms to the south of market district expanded access to 30 day permitting in south of market Zoning Districts and also increased access to limited life performance permits in several soma districts, where they had not been previously permitted. Additionally supervisor peskin legislation to enable limited life performance permit holders in the polk street ncd to offer entertainment until 11 pm, has been approved by the board of supervisors and is now in the mayors desk. Previously polk street llp permit holders had to invite 10 pm one of the think for areas where lps are authorized, where they can only go until 10 p. M. So now moving to 11 p. M. Uh in march, the mayor announced that the intention to propose a number of additional Small Business permitting improvements through upcoming legislation. Um in parallel with that effort, uh, were working. Im working with director weiland and Deputy Director azevedo on thinking about police code reforms and other entertainment related measures to support the nightlife sector. Its been a good conversation about, i think some longstanding need to revisit police code and right size some of the elements there looking forward to sharing more with all of you on that, as that moves forward. And then, uh, and then, finally, the Public Library is launching a digital local music collection to support local artists and their submission window is now open programs called babies and local musicians can apply, and if theyre selected, they can receive a 250 honorarium or the inclusion of their music in that collection, so trying to get the word out about that program as well. And with that. My short update is done, but open to any questions. Why are libraries so cool . Its amazing. Uh one suggestion we may want to bring up to them is putting together like a playlist that we might be able to. Ah, help distribute. Im sure theyre working on it. Yeah, and this is something that i have not brought up to the library yet, but certainly after hearing the news that the library was going to be doing curatorial work to showcase local music, the immediate next question was, well. What are the different ways we can include local music and all of the different . Uh, you know, city city avenues. Um its something that we have discussed in other cities have used local music for their hold music, and thats something that i think now if theres a thats awesome, so i would recommend that you curated playlist. But ive heard the music that you listen to keep me away. Questions. All right. Is there any Public Comments on that report . No Public Comment for this item. All right. Thank you very much for that precise and interesting report. Well move on to number seven, which is hearing impossible action for permits under the jurisdiction of the Entertainment Commission , and were gonna start with Deputy Director azevedo to introduce the Con
