every week. i never had anybody reach out to me or ask whether we wanted have not many in the reach out. and so -- that's the first point we never i never received anything or communication and some level from the events is such get in my apartment if it is a block away and i'm on the upon 11th floor. there is that. there is a lack of retail. and so i have talked with the commission before. i know for 12 appearance you don't require neighborhood reach out. enforcement. 12 is a lot if they dot friday night market every week. which is the case it is a quarter t. is a let of time. every week music from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. it it is a lot. that's the first one the second

issue is is that i know the commission knows that events will happen there is in way for us to know what events are going to happen. what events we'll have in the neighborhood so organize. sfpd announce all the meetings by district. we know when things will happen in the caves our neighborhood we don't know when we will have someone with music there affecting our lives. before there is another issue that one time we had a long weekend we had 3 event in a row. friday, saturday and sunday of i wonder if you have the tools to know if you are over booking

stood a hundred feet away if the sound source and measured 107 decibels. i'm not sure what the slim. i measured 107 decibels a hundred feet from the source. and often times i like to party as much as the next guy. often times the music is drop an f bomand playing hip hop with f and m bombs and it it is super loud and the community is reacting. now the permitted events are happening and antonio said there is no out reach that we get from anyone. one thing is when the japantown center has events that are going

to be broadcasting loud noise. they advertise it every where. eventos fillmore we have no idea when it will happen. if there was a schedule where we could look online and if that was broadcast to the community. then that would be helpful we can plan to be away when the weekends the eventos friday, saturday and sundayful many of the events it shakes the windows. i walked there there are not many people they have huge sound systemos trucks and boom, boom, abandonment.

the full board today and passed on first reading. they did choose supervisor chan asked for the legislation to be duplicated. and held back to small pieces of it that are going back to budget and finance and this is from 1060. 3. requiring applicants to disclose criminal charge history to the entertainment commission. we were hoping to remove that from code. given the fact the police department is able to conduct that research on their own. but there were confusion about the flow of that and so we are working through some code changes to make sure that we are making our rep with the police department more clear and how we function and pass on referrals from our applications. that said, every other piece of

around. ine sf mix at 4086, 18th. poe withoir office. the route 22 staff worked with management to mitigate sound issues. throug weekly 311 complaints. of the 57 we visited the business 25 times of these complaints mix found in compliance with permit conscience each time staff are asking for guidance and prioritizing response at the venue based on ability to comply with continue conscience that is all. >> thank you.

that was a lot. >> thank you. commissioners do you have questions or comments. you have been busy that's a lot. >> thank you. >> i know my favorite hotel via is on there again. as always >> there were if first in terms of the question around the sf mix it makes total sfens they are continuing to be found in compliance every time impressive there are few places that are as in compliance when they get visited. i think it mix sense to be prioritized unless there is something going on. yea. makes sense. there was a place we funder or manage i did not -- its a

private work space the specific is in the mission. received calms was there a visit i was unable to make contact they were having a private event. there other than no ticket saleis could see through the windows. there was a small not professional band playing. there were 10 or 12 people there and we have inspectors, that's

correct >> i spoken to -- hi. everyone manager there was an event that should have been permitted unaware that was required a lot is happy hours. a door this leads to a courtyard if you have your speakers outside you need a permit for that. they understood and said they will bring it in and close the doors. sounds like they are in contact with the one neighbor who is complaining. thank you. thank you i have feedback residents in the audience encourage to you call 311 when you have a complaint.

log it is 311. i wanted speak to the brickston. if you were doneful shore disregard for permit continue conditions is that one we can call back. >> yes. >> we are seeing them over and over and called both in here. the point of calling people who are continuing to violate their permits in here is to try to -- offer this rather than the punitive side.

and some case we see abc and other things. so my personal feeling about them is we try exclude it does not work and now the mercy of the process as it is laid out. that's how i feel i hope there are other discussions and don't think the mix should be continued to take staff time considering again the message has not gotten through our job of solveing are a lot soft and more diplomatic are working. put them the of our serious of

citations and the city machine. >> okay. i want to note i counted 194. calls. and it is amazing that the ones that only rose to the attention are the same actors that is a good thing we are doing our job and the people that continue to violate. it is frustrate to seat people disreport guide lines of permits i agree we tried the diplomatic approach what does that electric like this harder approach? one citation away from having permit suspend again that occur in the august. and so if they received one more

within this 90 day period we would suspend and continue to issue citations at the 500 value or increase. trinity repeat offender they are 2 away from the suspension. they did hit the 500 french hold they had them issued before the permit was issued they are not in the having permits yet. is there something stopping from referrals all right? no? it is of violations of continues and nothing outside. we are not seeing after hours or chicago sales. >> only appropriate once it has been suspend.

if we are seek further we loop in the city attorney. >> severing on the table this is a sign of good -- very negative signful we're getting new permit applications this is had you do and through the permitting process. we are seeing that in the numbers of applications. does staff need guidance or

action from us. i vote to deprioritize the sf mix complaints >> second >> commissioner thomas. >> aye yoochl commissioner perez. >> aye. >> public comment? >> sure. go for it. >> thank you. public comment on this? i'm adrian i live on webster. and i continuing is a great report that you have with the things it sounds like it occurrence mostly permit holders

and so myself and neighbors here we have an issue in the safe way parking lot on webster the same group of people who repeatedly play loud music at night. all the time from the giant white van and made 311 complaints and called the police nonemergency hot lines met with keen preston about this stuff and i'm trying to figure out how the prioritization works to get an inspector to and unpermitted sound violation. there is a next door group of the people who are you know --

actively like we are all hearing the same thing. calling 311 and nonemergency not shrine and figure out thou that could be something that -- its 6 hours at a time we are trying to figure out how to deal with this. and so any guidance the commissioner can give us in -- an onzine discussion. aside from when we are doing we would appreciate it as a community of the fillmore district. thank you. >> thank you. any other public comment. come up.

hello. antonio. [inaudible]. i'm in the fillmore. so i was thinking when all of this was being reported i asked myself. will this is i thought an experiment. if we have a business say what operates went hours of the permit. but they don't respect the sound level and they decide to operate outside of it. and to ampate fines. my question is, what would be the among low cost of rung an prescription like that and how long will it take to shut it down for the commission? we are not required to respond but what i will say is you to direct the questions to the commission staff.

they are available to provide you guidelines around how to -- responded. is there any other public upon comment. public comment is closed. commissioner thomas. >> aye >> perez. >> aye >> president camino. >> aye >> bleiman. >> aye >> wong. >> aye. >> item 6 updates on night life business assistance.

thank you and good evening, commissioners. workforce development. it has been awhile i know you have a full agenda i will truck through things and happy to answer questions. and the have been resolved for the year. we were pleased that sb76 was sign in the law. enables san francisco limit in the committee to san francisco for entertainment zones for shared alcohol consumption. restaurants and bars to out door areas with special events. as a remind are there will that press designating a zone

requires the local ordinance of the board. there are elements of the state luthat we are working in real time with abc to better understand how to puzzle out and there will be work with local stake holders in the areas where constituents and advocates seek to pursue. i think this is the beginning of the journey there. reform to provide guide lines how music venues host christ events and allowing venues to serve drink fist they have a room facility. talking with the california chapter on doing another webinar type 90 music left lanes the beginning of the year. there are 20 businesses state wide.

with the reforms there is a lot of potential opportunity for type 90's. ab1217 the temporary pandemic out door permitting system until july one of twek what that mean system that -- businesses are getting in the compliance with share space they need to if they want to serve alcohol in other out door space part of the license per nits now they have to go through the process of getting them licenseod the premesis by juvenile 26. ab1013. bars to have drink spiking test

kits available for sale. starts in july of next year it is something i flagged but did not get discussion. a conversation with the department of status of women and -- practitioners in our sister city in ireland around drink spiking and issue around night life health and safety this . law will require bars to do something. broader opportunity for the night life community around health and safety and drink spike thering is an opportunity to do more educational work and more work around patron health and safety and protect each

other. so i think the work nawe did around nar can education was -- today. and i'm hoping we think about the drink spike the educational projects next year. ab3 seventy-four was vetoes allowing cannabis dispensaries to sell packaged food and drink and ticketed entertainment events. that is a disappointing outcome. couple tlieds. the police code entertainment reform package passed earlier a couple hours ago.

we'll start are issuing the entertainment commission will issue fee waivers with funding. for the conversion or transition to brick and mortar early next year. also adopted on first read by the board the planning code of small business reformed with great increasing access to 90 day we view for night life businesses one of the categories there are a few excluded. and -- that is change nothing this package.

cannabis events at the board. and just to t up on going work that we are doing there is a pilot that enables sales at a specific set of events that meet a set of requirements. legislation that pilotted was set to spire end of the year. supervisor mandelman extend today to december 31, 2026 out of recommendations from the task force. with the understanding and we talked about this a couple months ago that the part of goal

is to -- do research and more thinking about what expanding the pilot would look like. how should we approh think burglar additional events. on the one hand we are work to identify locations that could meet the state and local requirements and state reporters are challenging and i think are weighted toward large scale event and have restrictions around public visibility and security requirements that make it challenging for small are events to participate and second low, we are exploring stake holder engagement.

a i couple of slide on the initiative. earlier today we launched the weapon page for san francisco music venues to apply and participate this 2024. we are funding out door contercert in san francisco and we want them to be curated by our music and entertainment.

funding and the permitting and there will be a budget prosecute voided to the venues to work to curate talent. keep are talking poe permits an electronic of offering year round programming and funding in the venue fund. musicians of color the interests of san francisco communities and add to the diversity of music across san francisco. we want a variety of music. we want a vire of venues.

on we are working on really cool branding that will be a sampleed this we are not ready it lunch but thank you to the president for many hours of participation in the process. not ready to launch? >> not today. my next is thank you and if you have questions. s sfshgs live you mentioned the venue valid to apply and can event produceers apply >> now it is a limited universe

of funding and it was irrelevant focused came out of pandemic fund and focus on show case. that does in the money in the future the program could not expander adopt this is a we are prototypeingly real time of thank you. a clarifying question . i spoke with a couple bar and restaurant owners interested in investing downtown and what could be like create a cluttory work on the entertainment introen it is tieed special events only. could you provide more color there? great question. so. for most of the process it was not tieed special events. toward the the last committee hearing of the process, that language around special events

was inserted in the bill at the same time it was limited to san francisco only. that -- certainly you know part of the logic there to be fair the logic was the exhibit want restaurants and bars to participate in fairs and festival this is is per missable under the bill i think there is we therein is a universal opportunity. at the same time i knowledge that you know abc had good conversations with them about special event not a defined term in the luor the code. so, i don't think it is quite so narrow but >> the enduring event. joy think the idea of the conversation. jot conversation. >> yea. >> okay. >> not special. >> i would say that i happening the idea of making them success and will given the work put in them. making them recuring is like it

is -- nobody is thinking this is a once a year thing. beyond that we are still figuring out the implementation pieces. but in term it is of look to the future. that special events piece is something that stake holders identify thered is more conversations at the state scomplefl for the cities not san francisco were informed late in the process they are not able to participate, either. >> disappointing. you want to say a big dole to get night life in the 90 day process for the layperson this is i don't think you can over state how frust is when you are trying to open a restaurant or bar or wine bar often or venue. and you find your planning hear suggest in the for 8 or 9 months

noteifiying 200 neighbors. the letter was written in english and manned sxrin copy of the gnp. received 6 of support including from the north beach neighbors and a letter of opposition from telegraph hill dwellers.

the planning department granted approval pat row use and not within our purview to regulate the patio if they are not hosting outside entertainment or sound. the neighbor drafted an mou for the business includes agreements that are outside of our purview to regulate or enforce we leave this agreement with the parties and legal council. upon at the time the business had not agreed to the mou language. it was not executed. neighbors proposed permit condition the owner greed to and are included below. except remains a difference of opinion on the number of events per month that is end at 10 p.m. virs 8 perform. 10 p.m. is the cut off under llp in the zoning district. both agreed to the business hosting 10 events per month. the objects like 5 to end we 10 p.m. and the other 58 p.m. the

neighbors asked for you by 10 and 6 by 8. the commission can decide the number of events. and the applicant can request to come become and have time placed in manner modified in a future date. no added ness and here to peek with you is mike, let me know if you have dwhes is aloch information. doing work in north beach for 35 years i'm with mike today and he will be available for questions can you have pertaining to prescriptions. i would like to re#a bit about

what kate mentioned. when we applied for this we applied for indoor/out door permit. there was a push back from our immediate neighbors. and so i met with the principles and said. look, and you like to use the patio with music. let's take that off the table. that was a sacrifice on our part. okay. in addition, we felt, okay you know may be there might be concerns and this it is that how do we remedy this. there are mitigating things we have taken in place double pain windows a limit on the speakers. we had a sound test. the good news with this building the building does contain the sound well the way it is a weird

warehouse. the out door patio is permitted for people to eat outside. or outside for fresh air and everything. and today you may hear from the niches this they like that restricted or you know taken off table but we would like to keep that in play. we want to use the patio. we feel what we can monitor it in a way that tell not cause impacts on neighbors. i think we have up in safe guards to do that. we may differ on opinions and this and that but the same time. i think we are at a, pretty close and may need your assistance for a condition or 2. i'm not interested in a private agreement. i think we have seen tonight we

seen this enforcement that this commission has. is that they are serious about regulating sunld and monitoring complaints and everything. i don't think it it is necessary. when you have a marking or enforce am arm in place. the interests of pers to have it permitted because we want to permit to have music. and the same time you think the neighbor want it permitted they have access to enforce familiarity they have complaints and people to follow up on complaints. i think that we are close. and we be available for questions and hope lovely mediate in a bit. okay >> questions?

questions? yea. are you presenting. no. i money that was here to see if you had questions. i have spoken to the neighbors to be attentive and we want to be good neighbors we don't want to a night club it is a restaurant and have the ability to have weddings and graduations when people want a dj or mall live performance. commissioners, questions or comments here? sir. could you stay. so you can respond. thank you. >> commissioner perez. >> thank you. a quick question who will be responsible for answering neighbor and terrible neighbor complaints.

>> that will be me. my personal number e mail, address. on the out reach letter. i would like to hear public dmoent hear concerns and ask for other clarifying questions after. >> sounds good. >> go ahead and have a seat and we will call you back. is there public comment on this item?

thank you. is there. nice see you. i'm stan haze. on behalf the board and more than 500 members we want to ask conditions on the permit to ensure the quiet of neighbors.

can tell by the figure that you got. you can tell tht site of american bites is unique an island surrounded by the dense packed house nothing north beach will live nothing 80 units. the restaurant occupied by american bites a restaurant for more than 70 years the attentive has a history of noise and complaints. this behavior the neighbor fear will continue. should the commission approve this we recommend this you consider adding conditions to protect the neighbors long the lines what you see in the first page.

we urge you to add a continue restaurant space only with the exterior doors including to the out door patio closed. we ask number 2 that entertainment should be a limited to 10 times per month at 5 p.m. and ending at 10 p.m. and the other half by 8 p.m. restaurant venue comply with the commission good neighbor policy. with the policy, the restaurant and entertainment venue fully soupd proofed.

and including a clear staff point [inaudible] and phone number to the neighbors. permit reviewed after 3 months and extended 6 if you find that appropriate. to verify compliance with the conscience and the noise levels are don't a minimum. i hope you will add these to the permit in the hopes that formality of the permit will provide certainty. thank you. is there another commenter?

i'm ian i live in north beach under the property for 20 years. i want to thank you for your time and the commission and the deputy commissioners for their time they worked with us on this. and i participated and contributed to the steps. but i got serious occurrence here. the building is in the sound. i can hear it. and the cascading noise on the deck. and well is occurrence here. the impact of approveing you

will disturb the enjoy am north of 200 people. in f this property was different and facing the street i would support it it is facing a deck. many neighbor are elderly immigrants that don't speak english sending letters of notification i'm sure they have not read it. they are not here and don't have a voice. so, i want us to realize when we look at this music permit we are not talking about one person. we are talking north of 200 people on the deck. this has been a restaurant. white table cloth. a good function. it has been this a good use of the property. they want to use this as a night

cluck not a restaurant. if you bring 200 people and say we are not responsible for the deck, 50 people come out and make noise if t easy to say it did not cause this noise there are 200 people on the property. >> if than i have to approve than i like to revisit this in 30 days. i have deep concerns this this is the wrong use for the property. >> there you go.

is there another public commenter. >> i was think burglar when i wanted say here. i think i did appreciate the time that deputy director -- and director educating us on what is going on and what was in their

purview and not. i thought as a result that you know it was clear what would be under the proposal and the neighbor agreement there is a good neighbor policy and -- you know we were meeting with -- mike on a zoom meeting week and he was speaking to wanting things to be different than the way they were before and -- you know i think all of us want to presume good and will resolve issues and move forward. my concern here is specific low they are speak to the fact this they have the right to use this patio that is the issue for planning d. i think the neighbors are between a rock and hard place. because if than i are fully alued by the planning department it use the -- patio space until

10 p.m. with toed and drink and they get a music permit. what happens is this restaurant is in the using in i way it has been a restaurant for 70 years and talked about the landmark issues the former spaghetti factory. this you know nobody moves to san francisco to live like a quiet live their november country we expect to hear noise in north beach and well is a charm to it and have it at your feet. this location has been a restaurant and i went this week to visit and have a drink and check out the space to see and it is a nice space. patio is life low i see yu want to sit out and have a beer and food. when you use a pace like this, to have the learning are everyones where like people are celebrating like a party.

or a wedding. and they have a dj and dancing i think it is hard to control the sound this come from know event like this even though they are staying with the conditions. that they would be inside. they want to be able to use the patio and go out and when is opens and people are trying to speak over. it it is loud. and loud. it is in the how the space has been uses. live music and sound. that's my concern. >> thank you >> thank you. >> okay. >> another public commenter? okay. thank you. public ment is now closed. resume our discussion. and questions for the applicant? you can return to the podium,

pleas. the set of permit conscience recommended by dwellers. all of them are already a part of our permit conscience. such as the good neighbor policy this is a standard condition the holders need to live up to which it is no need to also put it in something. additional i guess my question was of the permit continues recommend by the telegraph hill dwellers. aside from the issue about how many events go until 10 versus 8. are there any here that you have challenges with or difficult.

for to you meet. >> the only point of this agreement is -- you want to be able to use the patio if there is music. agreed to keep the doors closed and curtains down and have the limits on the sound. and additional low i gave my guarantees mow and my team will police the patio if somebody is rowd and he people are loud you have signage stating that we have neighbors and police mindsful and respect and will keep it quiet. these are things we want to do and will do. only thing is -- for example fihave the wedding there. and member wants to get fresh air we cannot go outside. cannot be inside in the wedding that ties our hands as far as operating the. understand sometimes people are loud we want to start that.

right in front of the patio there is commercial space empty so my thought was nobody at around the sound was up through and so found out later and trying to address it. why got it. why sewned eversoupds like it looks like deputy director would like to we in on it. but my understanding is our ability to influence things and at the doors and that as with all of our permitted venues and requirements keeping doors and windows closed. this would in the be different from what we require general low. >> this is -- the telegraph hill dweller asked condition state this is the patio would be

closed for all use. which we cannot impose. that is different. and i typeset clarify that the continue 2 the telegraph hill dwellers three in manage in the discussed the sgrament begin at 5 >> thank you. >> a restriction. >> thank you. >> thank you. the door to the patio is this near like where the dj is where you have music. >> dj is inside. patio is the further away from the dj. it is in the heart of the restaurant.

is a as staff underscored, some of the things being asked for here outside of our purview. so i think you've in my opinion, you've more than come a long half way on on these compromises. and i'm ready to move move on this on this permit, if public comment has complete covid yeah, that's great. why don't you guys have a seat? thank you. it sounds like we're ready to entertain a motion on. would you like to start? sure, i would like to move to approve this permit with staff recommendations and the

applicant requested indoor entertainment at parameters ten times per month, with five ending by 8 p.m. and five ending by 10 p.m. second. okay can we have a vote, please? commissioner thomas. hi, commissioner peres. hi, president camino vice president bliman. hi, commissioner wong. i okay. thank you. your permit has been conditionally granted. please follow up with deputy director azevedo. thank you. okay and then we have two more to go. so, deputy director. go ahead. great. the next application is for an pass permit for 165. a cafe style restaurant located at 165 o'farrell street. the business is seeking the ability to host outdoor amplified sound daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. tuesday through saturday, and 9 a.m. to

6:30 p.m. sundays and mondays for their patrons and to drive in foot traffic. 165 does not have any residential neighbors, but they did conduct outreach by sharing a letter with their commercial neighbors. there was no opposition for this permit in central station, did not have any added conditions here to speak with you, virtually on zoom tonight is manager jr tyler . tyler, i'm promoting you to a panelist. if you'd please share your screen. okay. just confirming. you can see the screen we can see it. and awesome. perfect thank you. yeah, no worries. all right. hi my name is tyler erps. i'm the it manager for alexander steakhouse. and i'm going to quickly just introduce you to one of our businesses one 6165, which is on 165 o'farrell street

. it's a six story restaurant containing four different dining concepts, as you can see here. and i'll just show you some photos. this is our first floor. we have the patisserie and boutique and we sell coffee, tea and a lot of treats as you can see here. and then our third floor, we have a bistro and we sell a lot of really good food. elevated bistro food. it's just a great experience. and then on our fourth floor, we have the elements, bar and lounge. as you can see, some of our drinks here . and then on our fifth floor, we have our our fine dining concept, which actually has a michelin star currently headed

by our amazing chef, claude liturgique. and here's some of the food just to show you. all right. so moving on from that, how will we use the permit? we plan on using this outside the first floor, primarily for business use our patisserie just to drive in traffic. but anyways , uh, it's going to be prerecorded french style music. we're going to install two ceiling speakers above the front door. and the purpose for it is to provide an ambiance for guests using outdoor seating and to also drive foot traffic into the business. and you can see here the outside of the business and where we want to install the speakers. and then lastly, regarding outreach, i had the director of operations for that

business hand out letters individually to each business, just explaining what it's for. and if the owner wasn't there to hand that over to them. you can see here, luckily our business is kind of surrounded by business as there's no residential and yeah, that's about it. okay thank you. yep thank you. okay do we have any questions for our permit applicant. okay. no, it looks like we're good. okay, let's open this up to public comment at okay. there's none in the room. there's no public comment. there's none online. okay. public comment is closed. do we have a motion motion to approve?

seconded awesome. can we have a vote, please? commissioner thomas. hi commissioner perez. i president camino i commissioner bliman. i commissioner wong. hi okay. congratulations your permit has been granted. please follow up with deputy director azavedo because she will help you and that's it. so we have one more permit applicant. right that's right. the final permit on our regular agenda tonight is for a jam to band transition to an f pass permit for los resort located at 2736 20th street. last resort has held a jam permit for outdoor amplified sound from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on their private patio since february 2021. under this pass permit application, they'd like to continue hosting amplified sound monday through friday 4 to 10 and increase the hours on saturday and sunday from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. the reason they are on the regular agenda tonight is

because after the applicant conducted their neighborhood outreach, we received six letters of support along with nine letters of opposition. the main reason for the neighbors concern about this permit application is patron noise they feel is associated to the amplified music, which they claim gets turned up throughout the night. however, the owners confirm that the volume of their music stays the same from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. the owners have been in direct contact with the neighbors opposing their permit and as a solution to their concerns, staff have scheduled a sound test to quantify a sound limit for their volume of the speakers. i've clarified to both parties that since we do not regulate patron noise, senior inspectors of reno will set a dba dbc sound limit and then translate that to the volume control on los resorts. sound system, meaning we won't be taking a sound reading using our sound meter when the bar is in operation because the patron noise will skew the reading instead. when conducting a compliance check, we look to the volume knob on the sound system and ensure it's not exceeding the designate maximum volume

mission station did not have any added conditions for this permit. and here to speak with you tonight are owners brad and nate. good evening, commissioners. good evening. commission staff. my name is nate valentine, my business partner, brad. we are the owners of los resort at 2736 20th street. we are here to discuss our outdoor patio as described, we have an indoor space. we have an outdoor space. we have ambient music. it's not a music that is like turned up for a nightclub or a bar. like loud bar environment. it's an an aspect of our business. we have a full service restaurant, you can see our menu online if you'd like. we're proud of what we serve from a food perspective. it's what got us through a pandemic by having food. and that's what it's kind of what we open during the pandemic so establishes as a restaurant. and we've kind of stayed that way

within the neighborhood we're in , we are looking to we understand that there is neighborhood concern. and this is something we've we've spoken with neighbors about in the past , but we initially had an open outdoor patio. we have since added a covered portion of the patio, which we leave on your year round to help mitigate any noise, leaving the patio. we've also added we have an open gate fence, we've added a plexiglass to that fence. there's the above that's there that we've added plexiglass there to help kind of keep sound inside the patio. our goal is to be good neighbors. our goal is to continue to work with the neighborhood. deputy director acevedo put us in touch with some of the individuals that wrote letters us, and that's how we came to with the idea of putting noise limiter on our speakers outside. we've actually i've said to them in an email that if it doesn't work and it's still concerns, we'll continue to work with them to

figure out things we can do. we're not going to necessarily be in a position where we can be perfect in terms of what they might want to hear in a neighborhood with voices and things at night. we will always do our best. brad, myself, and the team we do immediately shut down the patio not only from a noise perspective, but we actually close the patio on our own accord. 10 p.m. weekdays and 11:00 friday and saturday and bring everybody inside. we always shut the music down at 10 p.m. and we are very, very, very cognizant of it because it's something that we've had conversations with our neighbors about in the past. we've always been very respectful to make sure we keep the meds. got a set level and don't turn it up. so for us to add that to as a condition, it's not a concern because we already do it. and we'd be happy to continue to do it. we'll happy to answer any questions or have additional comments. if anyone else had something that they want to talk about. thank you. thank you. um, commissioners, any questions for our guests? yeah, i'll just say i live not too far and i've been there a number of times and i really like the patio and i

appreciate having a place in the neighborhood to go and have drinks outside. so um, i support this, but i like the stuffed french toast and the french menu. thank you. i want it now. thank you. dory, you need to eat dinner before these meetings. that's one thing we've learned. i know. i know. go ahead. commissioner perez. hello. thanks for coming in and. and what's your policy in addressing potential noise complaints for your neighbors? our policy is that we handle one by one. and if there is a concern, we immediately look to see if there's any noise. that's occurring and turn anything down. and the last two weeks i've walked the neighborhood like listening without the staff knowing that i was there to, like, determine if we are in a position where we're adding like music at a level that's uncomfortable or too loud. and every single time i didn't do your job, but like, i didn't have a sound reader, but i couldn't hear the music outside. i sit across the street where there is residences there. i didn't hear any music, so we are

active already. but if people have a noise plates, we've given everyone our email address. we have a phone number on our website. if people call or do anything, we will immediately address it. okay, excellent. thank you. thank you. thank you. all right. any other comments? questions okay, you can have a seat. thank you. is there any public comment for this item? okay. public comment is closed. do we have a motion motion to approve? seconded can we have a vote, please? okay, commissioner thomas. hi, commissioner perez. hi, president camino. a vice president. lemon high commissioner wong. hi. okay. congratulations on your permit has been granted. please follow up with deputy director azevedo, who. okay all right. okay. the last item on our agenda is item

number eight commissioner. comments, questions new business request for future agenda items. i would like to put a request in for future agenda item. can we or it doesn't have to be agendized. but i'd like to request that we create a working group or something to look at fees for smaller lps and lps just to see if there's anything we can do for like the smallest businesses, especially for outdoor amplified sound like a sliding scale? it is right now. all right. well, no, you like you want us to explore a sliding scale? yeah. or just look to see if there's something we could do. because. can you remind me how much an f pass is if you're not $792 to apply? yeah, and so i know there's some real small. although we did cut that in half for sure. yeah yeah. i would just like to look into it and see because there's some tiny places that only have a 30 something capacity and they'd like to have a speaker in their

parklet and you know, so it's not something we need to solve right now. but i just want to put it on our on our radar. it's kind of crazy that we charge them the same thing as yeah. chase center for having a speaker. we probably don't need a working group. we could just do a meeting. i don't care what kind of situation it's in. in fact, the fewer meetings and the more less working groups, the better for me. we'll bring it to our next exec call. perfect. perfect thanks. thank you, ben. um, that's very thoughtful and insightful, commissioner perez. yes? say, happy 20th anniversary to us. hopefully we'll be able to invite a lot of other former commissioners to join us. and i'm happy to help me. yes. please help. yeah. invite i don't know if i know all of them, but all my facebook friends. so i definitely invited our two founding members, terrence allen and audrey joseph. and i know terrence is coming. maybe audrey, which would be awesome. and then i
