>> the conditions from the police department, it shall be maintained as a bona fide food restaurant. that is really between them. that is your obligation, but there are a couple of conditions that i think are useful and meaningful. the entertainment allowed after 1:30. it is a standard condition. they shall install surveillance cameras and maintain adequate lighting both outside and inside. i do think he needs some lighting outside. she will provide a monthly calendar of the events and would

you also like to receive a monthly calendar? >> it is simple to achieve. >> there are at least four conditions i would like to see added to the good neighbor policy. >> any other public comment? i think we are done. commissioners? in discussion? do we have a motion? >> i would move for conditional approval with the understanding that we accept the police department's conditions. >> second. >> call the roll, please. [roll call vote]

[ayes are unanimous] >> 7e. thrid degree -- third degree. place of entertainment. >> this is an applicant for a permit under the planning code section 2 05 0.3. to do entertainment at this location 12 times a year. this is a medium-sized restaurant and will have live bands, and who deejays, and karaoke. we have recommended approval with 13 conditions. the one we have spoken about previously.

they have regarded the 12 times a year temporary use. this may need further clarification, but hopefully, it is somewhat unclear. certainly, i am sure he might at some flourished to my report. >> commissioners, i am here with my client that owns and operates a restaurant down near the park near townshend. these restaurants are doing pretty well. they are rock-and-roll in down there. this is a slightly odd one in that the south of market got a

zone to disallow or basically disallow entertainment usages. and when they did that, they put in this to a 5.3 planning code that allows temporary usage of entertainment. what we have done in the past, and what we would like to do in this situation, it allows the owner of the business to do new year's eve and some big parties. back to the issue at hand, i think the commissioner like this. this includes three neighborhood groups and some residents. pretty much every neighbor with in the buildings of every direction. we have gone to those people and

talk to them about the operation and what we would like to do. and as for a business card. my clients are available for any questions and to request a conditional. >> any questions of the applicants? >> how expensive is it? >> it is huge. >> i am confused. no new permits are being issued? >> the same is considered. those are the greater part of south of market. >> i don't want to keep us all

night, but to explain why we are undergoing a rezoning process, what we have is a mixed use neighborhood. it is much more cut and dry in other parts of the city where there are primarily residential areas and where it is not allowed at all. there are commercial districts where entertainment is encouraged. i try to strike a balance between the neighbors and the commercial interests. what they decided was to make entertainment a non permit use but to grandfather in a whole existing establishment. that is why we have what we have right now. that has loosened up somewhat, but for the time being, they are yet -- utilizing the rent party

exemption. and you can continue to represent your clients with all the trouble that the police continue to give when people try to use the party. >> why is this necessary? it is necessary because the patrol officers who don't care about horgan's. this is sort of jumping through the hoop who have something on the ground to keep your christmas party from being shut down. >> it is not a bad practice in regard to having [unintelligible] 10 of the this venue is properly inspected by other departments.

>> under our jurisdiction. >> any questions from the commissioners? any public comment or the police department? >> you're going to revise the good neighbor policy. >> that will certainly be implemented. when i was reviewing the application, they were not clear about question no. 16. i want the applicant in his own

words to answer the question because if you have a license that allows all ages, it says only for schools. i wanted to clarify that and explain how they will implement that. and as did that before the commission can address it. >> for the 18 end of the events, we are looking to do a close the event if the schools come to us and say they needed a vent for their high school or for their college group. those are the events we are looking to do, but it will not be open to the public.

there will be no alcohol served at all. it will basically be a juice bar. the 18 and up would not be allowed to buy any alcohol. >> you mean like,? >> correct. -- >> you mean like a prom? >> correct. we would like to leave that option open and allow them to do their event at our place. >> is that a satisfactory response? >> this evening, since i have not received an e-mail or anything in writing, we will have the applicant write it on

the application. i hope that is okay. i know that they will be using promoters, said that same item regarding promoters is in the application. >> any questions for the officer? >> any public comment on this item? the matter is with the commission. commissioners? >> i would move to approve this with the addition of the permissions of the southern station, a correction of the good neighbor policy that

applies. otherwise, what the officer included. >> i second. [roll call vote] [ayes are unanimous] president newlin: thank you and good luck. comments and questions? anybody have something that we could not have possibly discussed already? [laughter] >> i have two things. i would be great if the security plan was a little more customized the each of venue. i have it memorized.

the next time you run into them, would you mention in? and i just want to wish you will live very happy and healthy holiday. merry christmas ,happy kwanzaa, we already have a hot cup. -- hannukah. >> i want to say something about the commission packets. if it is really the case that the e-mail system cannot handle what your sending us, if there is some way that we can get a hard copy, and i can't say all the time, but can you put this in the mail on friday and maybe

we would all have it by monday or earlier? tenth street -- i would like to find some way to be able to review all of this. if you could maybe e-mail that to us, we shouldn't see this stuff for the first time. >> i apologize if that is what happened this evening. i am not going to necessarily offer by and for mail delivery, but i would use the united states postal service. >> do we have any special precautions we are doing?

>> we can assist them in creating a comprehensive list of events that we know about. i believe that they will be out in force on new year's eve. in to be in as many places as possible. as we have been receiving any special permits, that will also be on that list. it will be comprehensive by christmas had we will add anything extra. i don't believe we have seen anything of the ordinary or unusual being promoted for new

year's that we haven't seen in the past. it will be a very busy evening and will a lot like halloween. it is the whole weekend of events. we will see parties in city hall and then all of the hotels. there is a few going later than normal, but those are permitted in the police are giving notice that we are working through any concerns they might have. i hope that answers to your question. the often do they need to be aware of anything, just to be proactive? to have to do with security, and noise, and stuff like that? >> that is a really good idea. what we have done a is wherecma withc -- is work with cmac.

what happened on halloween was a panel that was put together to remind the news of what we expect of them. hopefully, that message is clear. if we can muster the resources, we will try to do that. >> new business requests? >> are we stuck at this time frame? is the question regarding start time for the meeting? >> i don't believe there are any free rooms available that allow us to televise any earlier.

we would put in their request again. it is a tremendous amount that needs here. given all the time it took to find this one -- >> i thought i would just ask. >> the room seems to be available. but beginning at 630, is that the case? >> the meeting before you sometimes ends earlier. it was not the televising. this room is one that allows for it to be televised. >> we pick the time frame are we can be consistent with our meetings.

it would have been different times in different rooms. if the commission wants to revisit that, i think the consistency is good. but i am open. >> it does not seem that this room is being used prior to the 6:30 start time. if what ever had been scheduled ahead of us is no longer meeting -- >> they are meeting. they were just at the end of their time frame. it is not inconsistent thing. >> this meeting is adjourned. thank you.

>> good morning, folks. good morning. in the general manager of san francisco utilities commission, and we are here for a moment this occasion. we are at the potrero, the last dirty power plant in san francisco, so the big question we have been asking is not whether this goes away, but when does this go away. today, you will hear the official announcement. the first one to try to answer that question -- there will be two people doing it -- is our mayor, who was so instrumental in making this happen, mayor gavin newsom. mayor newsom: thank you for

coming out. i know it is called, and i know you are worried because i get so excited about some of these issues. this is something that is near and dear to all of us. we would not be here had it not been a point of intense purpose and passion that unites all of us in terms of our desire to shut this power plant down. there are a lot of champions of this effort. most importantly, the community. the people of the southeast sector that demanded that we reconcile the fact that we had two of the most polluting power plants in california that were operating not too many years ago. we were successful finally in shuttering the hunters point plant in 2006, and we then turned our intent -- attention intensely on shutting down the potrero power plant. to say so is quite easy. we can hold hands, passed resolutions, have candlelight

vigils and talk about the issues of environmental justice and prostate cancer rates and cervical cancer rates and asthma rates and recognizing the problem and elevating it in the consciousness of and the minds of people in the city, state, and nation. to take a pragmatic steps required partners and leaders. community has that foundation and support, and having elected officials and appointed officials in key positions that were stewards of this process. we have had many of them -- former mayors. former supervisors. i would argue the current mayor and current supervisors. we have partners in the state and partners in our federal government that all came together with that stated goal and intent of getting to where we are in today, and that is this formal announcement that this potrero plant will be shut down as early as the end of the
