a vigilante or anything. but the french laundry is a restaurant, all right? michael mina's two places are restaurants. i go to restaurants, i eat food, i drink wine. i admit probably their split is more than 50-50, but i go there as a restaurant. and restaurants that promote themselves as restaurants generally are restaurants. the reason i put this on here is that it isn't just a restaurant. you're having live entertainment and that changes the parameter for me a lot. because all of a sudden you're not operating just as a restaurant, but you're having this entirely other use on the premises. and the problem that the commission has, i believe, with c.u.'s is that as you said, the c.u. runs with the property, not you. so as you said, it puts a dent

in your ability, if you ever want to leave, to have other restrictions around the premises. and so therefore i think where i'm looking at it as a slightly different animal than just, you know, trying to, well, it isn't, to me it isn't just a restaurant. i think i've said that a million times now. but in any case that's why i want to put this condition on and it isn't meant to trigger any kind of enforcement. it's a reporting mechanism and after five or six years, you know, i hope you last that long, 10 years, if the split is 80-20 then maybe somebody will step around and say uh, maybe there is something wrong with your being a restaurant. i think that's what commissioner moore is trying to say, that we probably want have

as much problem with this if you came in as a bar or some other restaurant -- entertainment use allowed by the code. but under the code and your liquor license it's a restaurant use, etc., etc., so that's the reason i wanted to have that condition the >> thank you. just to get at the concern, as i, one of the concerns i would imagine would happen in tems of the reporting requirement is that it might vary month to month greatly so that one month might be more lick r sales and another month might be more food sales. i think what their project sponsor is saying is it's hard to control what people buy so i am wondering if another metric might be something like the number of people who order food versus only drink or some other metric that gets at the concern rather than just gross receipts? i just offer that as an option. and i guess -- sorry.

>> no, that's the reason i have the condition because yeah, you can't control behavior but if i go to a restaurant and i order a cocktail and wine and eat food that's one thing. if i come here and it's offered as entertainment, sure i'm going to go there and just drink. so suddenly it isn't a restaurant any more. vice president wu: commissioner antonini? commentcomment if you go through the old reviews, the vadge imagine -- vast majority mention the food, not the entertainment as much. so there is obviously food being served and people were commenting on it and commenting to yelp. i'm fine with the motion. maybe i could ask project sponsors, is this a figure that will be easily produceable and usual -- won't involve a lot of extra work on your part?

because it seems like you would keep a tally of things consumed for the restaurant anyway. >> yeah, i think there would be additional reporting elements and certainly a little bit more work but not something impossible to produce. one thing i would like to suggest is that we're not -- i understand this trying to get to this distinction between what kind of a place this is. we are a restaurant. we promote ourselves as a restaurant. we serve food. i've covered that. that is not going to change. that is a commitment that we have not only to ourselves, but to the commission. we're also not the only 47 license that has ever tried to have live entertainment. there are probably 20 47 licenses in the city today and i can think of several off the top of my head that have a 47 license which is exact same license that we have that also offer entertainment. i would ask before we talk

about the restrictions whether there -- this is unprecedented? are we the first people to be asked to produce these reports or or -- are the other 250 or 50 venues similar in san francisco asked to do the same? >> you make a good point. i don't remember us ever asking anybody else to do this and there have been others that have come before us with questions with about whether they are serving enough food at all and certainly more suspicious than yours, which i think is a restaurant offering live entertainment. actually we need more of this. that's one of the problems. there aren't enough places where you can go get something to eat, something to drink and hear music. we need to encourage that. i'm going to vote for the motion because it sounds like it's doable. it's a little more work to have to keep track of your food.

i understand it's every year, commissioner sugaya, not every month. so you run the totals on an annual basis, i guess, i would assume probably your motion would be a year after the conditional use goes into effect? ok. so rather than a specific date. all right, that probably is fine with me, but i don't want it to be in any way a deterrent to your operation. vice president wu: commissioner moore? >> i would last -- just add, and code is code, it does say records of the restaurant's gross receipts shall be provided to the department on request so it is already in the code and i will be supporting the motion. just wanted to give everybody a chance to finish speaking. vice president wu: the motion

on the floor is for approval of the amendment to -- and amendment to require annual producing of the gross receipts the >> per code. vice president wu: on the commotion, commissioner antonini? aye. moore? aye. saugyar? aye. wu? aye 78 vice president wu: is there any general public comment? seeing none, the public comment is closed. thank you, this meeting is adjourned and planning commissioners, you due back at 5:00 for a joint meeting with the historic preservation commission the >> are you keeping the doors closed? >> closed, yes. not locked. i'm sheer -- here.

>> there are kids and families ever were. it is really an extraordinary playground. it has got a little something for everyone. it is aesthetically billion. it is completely accessible. you can see how excited people are for this playground. it is very special. >> on opening day in the brand- new helen diller playground at north park, children can be

seen swinging, gliding, swinging, exploring, digging, hanging, jumping, and even making drumming sounds. this major renovation was possible with the generous donation of more than $1.5 million from the mercer fund in honor of san francisco bay area philanthropist helen diller. together with the clean and safe neighborhood parks fund and the city's general fund. >> 4. 3. 2. 1. [applause] >> the playground is broken into three general areas. one for the preschool set, another for older children, and a sand area designed for kids of all ages. unlike the old playground, the new one is accessible to people with disabilities. this brand-new playground has several unique and exciting features. two slides, including one 45- foot super slide with an

>> this is the most contemporary art show in the history of the museum. let me give you some numbers. 31 artists across the 50 nations. 60 monumental works, the

largest of which is behind me. this is a gift to all the people in our beloved city of san francisco. a gift to all the visitors near and far. let me give you our honorable mayor of san francisco. [applause] >> thank you for being here today. this month is a celebration of asian-american heritage. i wanted to thank our asian art museum, all of its staff, the director. the board of directors. not just parts in san francisco, but asian-american art throughout the world. this is another example of

something that i told my friends, if you see some people walking around here, they might be looking for a red lotus. i do not think they knew what i was talking about. i want to welcome this wonderful piece of art. the artist is here today to join with us. it is a reflection of what our asian art museum is contributing to the dialogue around art itself. a year ago, we had the three heads and the 6 armi buddha that was another example of international art. this lotus suggest to you the

feeling of international modern art. it is one thing the that that our asian art museum begins this month with their exhibition of -- what is the spots going on in the rest of the world? i know the asian art museum did a great job with the historic artifacts. but they wanted to be much more than that. they want to contribute to what is going on in the world today. what are the international artists thinking about? what message are they sending to the rest of the world? what is going on in their mind across the world that would perhaps contribute to our own thoughts and values? this is an example of what i think will be an exciting

contribution for years to come. what else can we expect from the rest of the world's throughout our asian counterparts in the far east? i have been happy to help cris andhristen -- help christen this effort. activities that will happen in the month of may. the street heritage festival will happen right here on the street beginning this saturday, along with so many other activities. the rest of the asian communities in san francisco want to help signify and reflect. this is a wonderful city. part of its beauty is inheritance of being a gateway to all the different viewpoints

that happened around the world. i want to thank all of our artists for helping share that with us. through their various art forms and participate through this movement of more voices, more viewpoints, more languages, more different cultures, contributing to the diverse views that we want to have in our city. that is how we established ourselves as an international gateway of the viewpoints of innovation around the world. when you see this, and i hope you come here at night because it is not just the beauty in the daytime, its contribution to what we want to see happen in the evenings as well as for all of our residents and neighbors. this is going to liven the discussion about the contributions of art to our daily lives.

thank you for being here. thank you for helping us chr isten this beautiful piece of art.
