why would higher traffic not benefit the desolation that happens there at night that is >> i think one of the things is not having more people on sixth street is not going to help you think the business is going to succeed and will help the neighborhood. so far as the crime it's hard to measure because we have not had a night club on sixth street. i don't know how to measure that until they open and i see what kind of business >> when did club 6 close? >> i've been there and i think it's been over a year and approximately a year. >> we have around 7 permits up and down the street and we does

have a lot of complaints if i'm correct. >> they are not and we have a great relationship with those businesses. i want to express the club is not opened and i want to develop that relationship prior to them having is steentd hours >> are there any clubs on sixth street that have extended hours. >> the monarch had it. but the stipulation was they were open for a while and then we just proofed their extend hour permit in the last few months. >> how far away. the monarch would be a half block away

>> o-m-g has extended hours? >> no. >> do you have any - i don't know. i didn't ask this. do you have any idea when luks intends to open. can i tell you the continued opening of luks end of september. forgive me. the this application you've provided is the application for tonight's hearing. the san francisco at the scene of the accident application dated may 14 this is yours?

under your days of operation monday through sunday 4 to 1 or 2:00 a.m. occasionally 4:00 a.m. sunday through wednesday 8:00 p.m. a 1:00 a.m. and it almost feels like you're not asking for after hours. i mean, you're application is an occasional 4:00 a.m. - i mean, you are asking for after hours? >> yes, we're asking for after hours. i don't know if you were here this i discussed it but it's sort of a gay male dance phenomena after hours. we don't get those crowds but we maybe a little bit early. gus has indicated he wants to do

things in there but other than that it's not our intention to open after hours and this group has three or four after hours permits and it's better to put them in there for a safety issue >> any other comments before we open public comment. >> have you had any issues with monarch having after hours permits. >> not at all. >> but you want to be careful with the extended after hours to make sure the new applicant will not add. >> well, my main concern is i haven't seen a lot of activity around the club and i've not seen any kind of construction or work on the club so i don't

think it hurts that we develop a relationship. i think it's going to be a positive thing for sixth street. but that would serve is owners two to work together and solve the issues they may not be any issues >> i think there's going to be predictors of what's going to be successful. it's part of the communication and outreach they do so, you know, there are folks who apply to us who never run their business for entertainment after hours so to say they haven't opened yet is not a fair thing to hold against them. a person should not be running the business until they come to us. there's a communication barrier

by your concern is heard. this process is to really is if you meet all those exceptions that we have come back duo to us >> we talked before so i mean, i have a pretty good relationship and i look forward to working with them. we have to give our concerns to you about the community and that's where we stand >> appreciate that. so can we open it up our public comment? thank you very much. if you're coming to speak come towards the podium >> i live at 124 tooush.

i have great respect for the captain because i see him walking around and talking with people and he's involved with the neighborhood. i'd ask you approve the - and what the young man is asking for but to make sure that the captain i mean - yeah, the captain has some type of involvement because they involved in the businesses on that street. so we have to balance it out so thanks >> thank you. any other public comment? >> hi i'm michael i'm the executive director for the district six. the applicant has come to one of our community meetings.

we did inform them of the other community groups therapy told to go to other community groups they've done that. they've done what's been asked of them and they've obviously, the owners have other establishments so they know what they're getting into so - you know, i think the thing is your obligation is to go through a check list to meet the requirements so your due diligence has been met so it could be to our favor to approve the applicant and mitigate 31 any outstanding things you think are on the permit but they obviously seem to have all the things that are required.

the district 6 is in favor of getting the permit their q and we looked to working with them in the next few years to make sure they stay as a good community partner the same way we did with the money arc. at the same time, we had the same kind of concerns of a night club in the area and they turned to be a good neighbor >> thank you. any more public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. and the matters with the commission and i have a question >> yeah. >> can you refresh my memory why this permit was not heard with the plays of entertainment a month ago.

>> at the time the southern station had asked there be the permit continued to further discussion. was it just for further discussion between the police and the project sponsor? >> okay. thank you. >> officer chan representing the southern station. so two months ago back when this is on the agenda i requested a pony time. we had no security other than the general security plan. cateringing towards the operation but nothing towards the extend hours. from that time until now i made

several attempts to contact the applicant the owner and i recently spoke with with him a few days ago >> did you make it? >> not exactly. >> what's missing. >> i received with the gentleman submitted so far as the updated security plan but average that that's the only thing i received. >> i'm sorry could you please repeat what i asked for besides this updated security plan. >> they sort of outlined how they want to facilitate the expended hours for example, escorting patrons to their cars by they doesn't exactly say how

many people they were going to staff for their security. if you have 4 hundred and 90 patrons in the club and it gets out at 5:00 a.m. - and i thought i heard them as a it was 80 ratio and the events were for gaze so >> one to 80or you're talking about security guards i know though they, escort folks and patrol the outside area. >> do you feel it's the security guards job to escort everyone. >> no. we would like to see them operational and then if he were

or if they were to do that we'll grant them one night >> so what you're concerned about is the fact that they haven't explained fully enough they've over which is not required to escort patrons to their cars. that's the thing you're most concerned about and when their gay nights which would be primarily men i'm assuming they would be escorting women to their cars and that brings the occupancy down to half. i don't understand the whole thing >> i think the whole thing is the communication has not been between the station and the owners or the operational commander. part of their security plan will

be something we'll discuss. our only concern about the after hours in regards to what you look at it's part of on educational thing. my concern is the club is not open i haven't seen a lot of activities around the club and you can't why are we going to a club that t is not open to an after-hour permit. once the club opens that will be worked out between us to make the neighborhood save >> so i'd like to entertain a motion because we've heard public comment and police concerns there's not a list of conditions from the police department. are there? >> from the productive. >> oh. >> i'd like to move to approve

this permit. >> is there a second? >> i'll second. >> is there any discussion about this between us not for anyone else in the room. commissioner and a okay. how many nights a week from until 4 correct? how many nights a week >> the permit is until 6 and any night of the week if there's no consequences added to it. >> i'd like to see conditions added to it. >> what kind of conditions commissioner? are you trying to restrict the hours or the day >> i understand the stations point where we granted the po e.

and the place is still not open and during that time there was no attempt by the permit people to get in touch with the station to discuss further. which makes me a little bit uncomfortable. and so i would say place some stipulations if we're going to go ahead and precede with this >> such a they have to meet with the police? >> i'm sorry, i thought i'd make a suggestion to make this a little bit easier. because the commissioner is new. if i'm hearing you correctly as opposed to the limiting days or hours it maybe useful to consider a condition that

applicant notify the station in advance of any use of their extended hours use of permits within a certain amount of days of the event to facilitate not just i mean occupies if you want to admonish them to continuing condition, you know, work with the police department but with respect to the use of the steentd hours permit sound like the plant doesn't intend to use it that often and to make sure their well in advance to stipulate before they use it and that might go to our concerns >> yes, thank you and so would you like to make an amendment from the amendment.

a friendly one >> a friendly one. >> there's no such thing as a friendly amendment it's just on amendment. so what would you like to amend that that at the notify the station at least one week in advance, two weeks in advance >> that was 7 days written in the paperwork. >> okay. we'll make is a condition as well. the motion was made by you? >> yes and i accept the condition of notifying southern stationary week in advance. okay. and is the second okay with that >> let's vote. >> on the motion to approve the permit with the condition of

notifying the station (calling names). >> if you don't mind i want to admonish you to go and talk to southern station. >> please, please and a like soon. >> trade cell phone numbers. is commissioner lee back? go get him back. we'll move onto the next agenda item which is doing business as cafe this is another expended hours permit >> this is cafe mason a union square routine they've been operating 24 hours a day by were

unaware they needed a permit. kind of like laura's diner. this is a restaurant that serves a late night union square crowd and travelers. >> hi i'm here to speak on behalf of the my clients. the owner of cafe mason is mr. chung. and has owned and operated this business for 19 plus years. his general manager there ever day is demanding yell - daniel. this is simply a 24 hour eatery no entertainment involved. it seats 80 people and it's

alliance for barrier six there's sincerely sponsors it's not only for the alliance for district 6 but for the coalition of san francisco. there's actually being heard by several community organizations at the same time for future reference. i want you to understand we run several community meetings compared to some of the meetings they're only being heard by one group that's lincoln. fellow commissioners the mason meeting was tenant and they talked about the changes to meet some of the on site visits. cafe mason agreed to do other

outreach meetings. overall cafe mason is seeking an after hours permit to do the suggested community outreach which has resulted in better outreach operations and truly community partner because of that. and we at the alliance at district 6 commend the cafe for reaching out to the community and their neighbors as we also wholeheart wholeheartedly support this. there were other businesses that never did the outreach after they did their presentations and they failed to do their outreach and they're not good neighbors now they make commitments and

not follow through. this entity has and we appreciate that and we will see this business tyler. i've been there several times they have great food so - >> thank you. any other public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. the matters is with the commission. is there a motion and a i'd like to move to approve. second and a great can we take a role >> with the police conditions. to approve with the police conditions (calling names) >> all right. so on to the next item 7 c it's doing business as for a place of entertainment ass
