>> thank you. good evening. the office of economic and workforce development. my first presentation to all of you. from last time we poke and new developments in night light business. the state legislative session is under way. bills introduced by february 16th. we have a couple of items that are relevant to night life that have been introduced and are expected more to come in closer on the deadline. sb989 from senator wiener expand the entertainment zone program. that is the ability for the city to designate entertainment zones

in state law. restaurants and embarrass sell open to go containers and with special events out door. and are that -- the i will talk about implementation of the sb76 zone and seniority wiener has a follow up to do 2 things expand san francisco's ain't to adopt entertainment zones. language around only having them operate during special events was added late. we moving that increase flex abltd to support restaurants and bars. on and secondly and more relevant to other cities around the state. entertainment zones are only zabl in san francisco. and so this would expand the programs. so the city of san hose

sesupportive of cities will come on soon to support this legislation. why secondly ab1775 from haneo cannabis cafes there was legislation last year to allow cannabis dispense easier to sell noncannabis food and beverages and tickets to entertainment events. that was vetoed by the goner and identified worker health protections. this new legislation is identical to last year but according to haney's announcement he is in discussion with state agencies around how to address worker health protections. there has been activity around out door service and liquor licenses, businesses are

starting to as they in in compliance with the spaces program, businesses are expanding liquor licenses to cover that parklet and other service spaces. as a reminder, businesses don't have to do this for a few year under legislation adopted last year. temporary cater permits that cover them some apply until june of 26. the businessesment to get compliant and the paperwork. abc has issued regulations for what they call areas disconnected from the main premesis by public right-of-way. a parklet is separated by a city street. they take affect in april but they are already a guiding set of rules and principles for licensing now.

the regulations require staff to actively monitor out door area. they specify that out door areas have a proximity to the premesis and don't mandate table service at a parklet by employees of the business. that is an area there is a significant amount of confusion and business owners that abc would require table service but that is not case that is not in the scope of the regulations by abc. and final point on liquor licensing and out door service as businesses get their out door intamentarctivity permitted by this agency. liquor languages around intament and sound has changed overnight last 6 months or so. where we are beyond out door activity and abc in the process

of congress liquor licenses to clarify to align sound conditions with entertainment permit sound conditions which we will talk about in the future. for out door service if you are doing entertainment activity, in and out door area can, your license conscience arounded sound should aline with your permit conscience positive stepful new loam reforms took affect in january after law in december. police code reforms fee favors to support out door upon intament and amplified sound. and improve permitting the

planning code legislation following zoning and expanding 90 day cu review for night life uses that is up and running now which is exciting. short u. i want to highlight project it is i expect to talk about in detail at future hearings. working on expanding awareness african-american type 90 licenses and reforms often they there are opportunity to educate entrepreneurs and operators about the reforms and how they support the businesses. had conversations about the type 90 license who did not and not excited learn about the possibility of supporting new projects with it. >> another upcoming on going project helping entertainment

zones with special events. there are a number different corridor in dwlars have started asking questions how intament zones work. i think continuing that out reach and as we move forward and implementing zones there will be interest there. continuing to look at downtown recovery. how we develop and roll out to support that recovery with a focus night time and entertainment. working to support temporary park. this has been a mine for the sfmta and hope to bring good news soon. launching sf life, coming up soon. or launching soon. hope to bring this back. increasing health and safety resources think burglar when we

do the at entertainment commission summit. law requires bars to maintain and have drink testing and other work to support health and safety for workers. and finally as previous discussed looking at possibilities for cannabis events in the scope of the pilot with the office cannabis. wanted to provide a road map for the many things. thank you for your time. >> i'm not seeing questions here. thank you. is there public comment on his report? no public comment >> we can move along to number

the music is blairing and loud. and the building fillmore buildings are very high. the music reverberates. the market puts big dj vans and put the speakers right outside on the sidewalk. windows are throw feet away. we can't get rest on a friday night. every friday it is bliring music. we have no problems for the restaurants that have struck trucks there. people come up to the people who have the music and asked them to lower or stop and they say yes, yes and don't do anything we call 311, nobody come temperature is unbearable we have another sunday market. has bla wiring music all afternoon and farmer's market on

saturday what poor street all residential. with old people can people who work night shifts and need sleep. children. nobody gets slope all weekend for sick month its is crazy. we need to limit the festivals on the street. we have no problem with once an among or whatever. but every friday, saturday and sunday and we are going. create. try to limit this and stop the music from blaring everybody friday and sunday. >> thank you.

>> okay. ready. this is for. friday night. >> okay. i'm adrian and i live cross the street from the friday night market i want to echo sentiments of the woman who spoke about how loud it is. and not only -- during the time they are actually doing the

night market it attracts people that continue that party through the night and like she was saying they have the big vans with speakers in them the party guess until midnight and 1 in the morning sometimes and it is shaking our walls. and again. there is a whole next door glue formed around the noise that continuous after the night markets. and we all we call 311 hundreds of times. we call the police nonemergency hot line.

it is cool we got to know each evering. under the circumstances disapinning but that's my

sentiment. thank you. >> thank you. anymore comments before we vote? >> okay. somebody else. >> we have a hand raised. >> a couple again. okay. >> dove. if you hear us unmute and you have 3 minutes. >> thank you very much. i wanted to echo what the previous 2 people said about the noise level. i live on the street. outside the market. and friday nights the decibel is so loud had when you are walk down the street. i have to cover my sxeers go to concerts all the time. i go to bluegrass and every year

and never that loud temperature actually would bother my ears. to echo what the gentlemen was saying, things on my shelf in my home and mantel are shaking from the volume. from the reverberations. i did ask the organizer one time to adjust the volume. he agreed. that he would do so. and never did. . and -- i as well no recourse but not to be there to be at my house on friday nights i'm driven out of the neighborhood. and so. thank you. typeset is a shame. because i do believe in bringing the neighborhood together and events like this mean something to me. reaching out to people. in the neighborhood in this way. but it is the volume. that needs to be addressed.

thank you. more comments? one more person from zoom. unmute yourself you have 3 minutes >> thank you. i wanted to also echo what has been said about the noise level. it is absolutely unatenable if you are trying to stay home. i want top yea. i think it is -- lovely to have the community but not clear why it has to the music has to be so loud and it is all you know week after week it did not draw that many people. you have the incredible loud music and there is sometimes there is 10-15 people there. and it is like inconveniencing a

neighborhood so just a handful can garth. does not neil very fair. >> thank you. and we can vote now on whether or not to move this to a later -- next.

>> vice president bleiman >> aye >> commissioner perz >> aye >> commissioner thomas. >> aye. >> commissioner wong. >> aye >> that has been conditioned and we will move on to the next one which appear to be related. item i brother's change dba soulful sunday the same street. for the 1 timeout door upon event for amplified sound. they asked for a february 18 to 8027 for every other sunday. between 11 and 5. so this applicant is coming become this year for the one time permit. they received an approval from the shared spaces last month and during that meeting and neighbors share the concern about noise. at the end of the item applicant

and neighbors compromised hosting entertainment every other sunday. northern station has no issued with this permit. they passed out our letter to a neighboring business and the fillmore center. a represent from the fillmore center said they were notified and the templet letter was not filled out with information and did not have information about their hearing date. i did in the receive a copy of the letter. in the packet they took pictures and did out reach. included a couple of what was passed out in the permit packet the scomplert postcards about their event in member february. since the issuance last year received 6, 3 space space there has been a sound limit they have

complaints. >> the information staff recommends the applicant we do out roach to the neighborhood with correct information to allow feedback from the community in the area. we allow the event at discretion for a trier second degree of two of the monday eversunday's. they can return for the march 5, 24 hearing for further discussion about approval moving forward with the schedule allowing statement starring march 17 to october 7. where here to speak with you is eric from brother's for change. done a lot of out reach.

i'm the fillmore is a bad neighbor. you have the management company then you have a different management company for the businesses. at that time the fillmore center allowed us to use the plaza for music and entertainment. it was a different company at the time. so we thought about after the pandemic we want to help 4 that

it did not beyond 50 years we have been tribal to rebuild those comingn know not only -- the neighborhood will about the on land with the fillmore center i don't know -- issue because it is not the street, we have complaints. the center. go back and out reach the same people i said first sunday.

the same that complain we have an agreement had doles we need do. questions? i have a question for staff, i think. which so it sounds like what we got in front of us friday night and the sunday and sounds there is a saturday upon event on the same will block. >> yea this is a baptist context. last year the first time we did the friday night markets, and the sunday soulful sunday this permit on saturday the gnarler's market. last year. there was an event every day and weekend. on that street. and so we realize third degree and now this year we are trying to figure out air way to balance

that more that is where the complaints are coming from. every day of every weekend. and so -- did groy have it every other sunday. and that's yet reason they are moving they are trying to reshuffle the entertainment and how the friday night market works they need more time for that. we don't take into account

different events by different entities it sounds like there is a significant impact on the neighborhood by having. jot same. >> i see friday, saturday and sunday all in the same block would be a lot. that street has been closed they got approval from the street closures. >> right, right. i hear about the fill mercenter used to that plaza would be a nice place to do this. not able to activate it -- the streets are what you have left. i guess my question is what extent in terms of the impact of -- the upon event. i foal we can't take in isolation the one weevent we need to take into consideration the friday, saturday and sunday and in terms of impact on

neighbors. what is the guidance from staff on how to best think about all 3 of these together. especially if the market is manage in front of us like. >> i think deputy director had one thing to add. it it is a full dj set up and very loud and we had interactions with them northern station has. the individual on going set up

around the fillmore not just the friday night market we don't permit them. complaints are pin on the friday night market and not the active the permit holder doing it. it is a very are gray area. pd gone out it has not been successful. the approve separate from us. than i may approve the ufts street for thearctivities on a weekly base i for each of the

events. you have the capacity to revving layoff with less frequency with entertainment. it sounds like he is amenable to twice a month. would being smart to decide which days they are of the first and third. second and fourth? come neighbor sxrfrns event producer preference. would they want those the friday and sunday to occur on the same weekend so you are impacted 2 weekends out of the month?

or have a friday and a sunday. and not counting the farm upper's market u. if want to to limit thome twice a month that is up to you as well. why i want us to and i appreciate your willingness to compromise. i don't want us to aproufrt 1s that will not compromise at 4 and the person who is like you know stepping forward to engage and limit them. i want us to be fair across all 3 events. and sounds like that conversation is under way. i want there to be equity. >> thank you.

i have a question for staff. the concern from the niches is the sound. right? have you experienced them to be compliant? if i recall we set their limit on the last activation. we have not seen them in operation since you did stop for the raining season. >> yes. we did set a limit but can't confirm if verified compliance it was as they went in the pause.

started on friday nights we actually got a guarantee from the city! to produce the band! and he is a fellow mfbt fillmore. and received a grant to produce the van. >> still if they are blasting music. y found it was the grant would have required him to do it a part of an event with i permit?

or ape part of your sxevent the neighbors are mix everything together while you men in compliance. it is an interesting question . like, in the your fault if people come and do things that are -- illegal.

i would be -- trying my fwoeft that will fortunate set their van up somewhere else. you are trying to put on a business. and make it work and that's causing you problems. why i what happened you are saying but i can confirm once our event is over everybody is gone if you are in the neighborhood down the street. blasting music that has nothing to do with mow. >> that's what i'm saying. i can't. >> i agree with you. like however, you know if the person is related your van you hired them and they are setting up next to you it is not your

problem that is a problem for pd in the something we -- we don't do street sound we focus on business and whether or not they have a permit. the. police are stressed and unable to responded in time. have their. i don't have an answer. fiwere in your shoes i imagine myself being frustrated. you have to answer for it. even though it is not your fought everfault i don't have an answer. >> i hear you. >> yea.

we can't affect the frequency of

events that mta. of this is above our pay grade here. they make their decisions. often don't consult us. what i'm hearing is what commissioner perez said. if you are in compliance and the success of your event is bringing other who is are not in compliance or acting in their wave parting may be louder. you do have a responsibility. even though you don't. like the gray area. >> can i ax can we have an education, somebody from staff to committee to fillmore and i will make sure the different dj's are [inaudible] there and

can better than were learn about permits and levelsil offer my services to make sure that happens. >> i'm okay with that in principle i have to talk to staff. permit operator if you are not there yet you feel comfortable making that education to them. i think we can offer our services to help you understand if full and he completely so you can pass this information. we have hundreds of permits they go through and staff overwhelmed with the music and night life.

right. okay. >> i have a question for you. and i want to realm commend the spirit compromise you came in with the commune members it is frustrating dealing with the fall out of a third party. if you are looking at every other sunday do you prefer first and third or second and fourth. either is okay >> yea

>>. okay. i feel comfortable moving forward with their compromise as long as we apply this with other applicants. why let's see if there are questions for the permit holder. you can have a seat. >> yes. >> police. >> as far as of the member of the band when we performed. we performed on a sunday but had an our >> 12-1. i don't know about the night thing. you think that is the issue. things are continuing at night not sanctioned and not a part of the upon event. than i are getting conflitted with the event. and so that is a problem.

if they are attracting people and they are sticking xoornd blasting music it is an open question. how do you manage that can limited resources. >> thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> i have been to 3 of these i'm mark alexander i live in the tenderloin. and all 3 of the events this van was in the present. this gentlemen here plays nice r & b music. you said i think the neighbors are conflating. the sunday with friday upon event. as an african-american i have been here for year and a half in san finish and the population for black people is 0 low. it is a bless to have this event

for me and a shame if it was taken away >> thank you. >> i being you know the goal to figure out how to support the event and make sure it continues and how to upon min myself other impacts on the neighbors, sounds much is not coming from what you are organizing but people unaffiliated p with your grip a leader or other times. i would like us to figure out how we can move for the. there were figure out how we can support this especially with the willingness to compromise on the timing and then when we get to the friday night market get them to the same place and sounds like there is an issue of both

stayingerator and on the sides figuring out what levers we might have to we heard from the permit applicant. are you part of the. >> we spoke to the. >> all right. everheard a motion. i'm not sure we fully discussed t. >> we did not motion. >> continuity in the process. motion we got language from

staff about the timing. >> i believe you had set up the staff recommendation for just next two sundays >> to clarify to approve this permit for 2 sundays on a trial period. and have them come back next month to see if we want to continue them to october employed that was the recommendation. >> you can motion something else. >> yea. >> no. i think that i would like to move forward with that if we got >> requires them to come to the march fifth hearing again. >> is that the same time friday night market folks will be here. >> that's the hope. >> the plan. >> right. >> i feel like in terms of trying to treat thyself the friday and sunday equal low having them both at the same

hearing would be easier on the staff. to be able to do it together. does that? make a motion to move forward with recommendations of the permit for the next 2 activations and come back on march 5 for the permit.

a second. >> all right. now we will hear from the public. if you are here and like to speak on this. >> thank you. i like to say i want to dmeep context the name of the fillmore. fillmore jazz district implies there will be entertainment there. that's historic jazz district. i have been live thering upon since 99 and a business owner there as limp so. you know i'm also working with reverend harris in brothers for change for the event. we're respectful of the community. we take ownership of the community. upon keep the mind this is an

entertainment district. when we have people move nothing and don't know the history. to being helped on friday. friday. had is nothing wrong having entertainment. have you a jazz collaborate notoriety fillmore upon center. so keep in upon there will be entertainment. well is a night life. you already know there are bars and upon students educational background. we are not here to make inconvenience we are here to enhance it and it so case the

tammient them is a sister in the band. people. i'm plead with everybody that sits here, don't restrict that. fillmore has been dead before the po i haved. brepging in traffic it we are asking to keep open when commissioner came out i was there in inform if. and we were cordial and we kept our word and you know we can't be held account okay for people that is not associated with us. thank you very much. i have been there a few times

and they shut upon down at like 6 or 7. on friday a noise until midnight. that's not sunday. sunday is i don't know like noon to 5 or 6. y understands if there is noise until midnight is a problem. but this is not sunday. i think they are lumping everything together. like i said when i was there there was no van that was this gentlemen playing conscious music. >> i'm gail born and raise instead film more. because of the growing up in the fill moefrm fillmore is toefrg me.

i learned play trumpet on fill footer. i want top say like this brother said we don't have nothing to do with the friday f. so please don't comupon biens together. i do youth events. what our business. keep that in monday. i did talk to inspectors. he tried my product and everything was fine. upon but sunday is different than friday. dheep in mind. we want to bring more culture back in the fillmore and welcome our neighbors. other restaurants and everybody who come through.

i'm elizabeth and fwon all of the events and we are not i don't live here i live in a condo on the same street and love what the fillmore district is doing and love the evaporates. problem that we are focusing on is loud, screeching d judiciarying music i lost bands and the sundays it is nice. the and food trucks there are and it is quill when they have a band. we have no publish. when they have a publish when the the fridays in the talking

about you in. thank you. . >> i'm adrian again. i appreciate the compromise coming from the permit requesting group. and everybody here about doing every other sunday. it is coland i'm a musician by trade. living and performing at events like this for upon 20 years plus. all around the fillmore i'm a reason i moved there it is a hot bred of music. the bands are great on sundays. it is like 6 hours of volume.
