as quickly as possible. there was a communication problem with the management establishment so we're going to continue to discuss about the plan to make sure the party bus situation doesn't get worse on broadway. some round in northern station we had there was a direct complaint to sfpd rewarding the 1865 coast and their permit says that entertainment must stop over 10:00 p.m. and they've been keeping a recognize and when the performs start and stop. we're in direct contact and we'll make sure when they have the entertainment fairly and a

frequently they're done by 10. two violations were sent out earlier this day one for lucky dogs and continued operation after 2:00 a.m. and they'll be receiving a violation. and then after following up on a noise complaint i discovered they were operating after 2:00 a.m. and witnessed a accumulation of alcohol so on a happier note we've had no complaint over the last two weeks in the office so that's a pretty good sign. great >> commissioner joseph. >> on the institute were they charring at the door. >> they were not. >> did they state it was a private party. >> they did. >> did you building them?

>> i was inside i didn't see anyone charging for drinks i don't know. i didn't see anyone paying for entry the manager there seemed reasonable and said it was a private event i don't see any dangerous at the time everything seemed under control. >> i have a question on the badlands one you have not gotten the police report yet. >> i have the police report but yet to get an incident report. >> there was a sexual battery. >> there was some inappropriate touching on the dance floor it was reported as a sexual battery. >> that's it thank you. >> commissioner hyde.

>> so just cafe royal i believe that any party buses or no sorry score any parties buses have to go through the cb d correct? i believe that's part of the new rules that the cb d established that all party buses will be monitored have we heard from them >> i have not heard from the cb d from the manager he said he was in touch with officer ma emphasize. >> okay. any other questions or comments. just one suggestion it actually is helpful if you put the dates down either the patrols or weekend incident so we understand >> thank you.

thank you >> all right. any any public comment on the executive director report? >> good evening. i'm steve event i'd like to elaborate from the sf director at the heritage he talked about the gold dust we know that san francisco loves it's lounges so how much coverage the duty lounge had i want to talk about accident broadway corridor in san francisco in which the broadway corridor is an offshoot it was reborn at the barbary coast and there's legislation. i would like to do is also expand on that where we not only protect the bars but protect cultural in the absence of what

streets are and what they mean to the city everybody nationally knows that corridor is a place and what that corridor officer so maybe we need to look at this a little bit closer thank you >> thank you. any other any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. we will move on to item 4 which is the police department comments and questions >> hello commissioners and staff i'm steve from the central station. in bringing up a few different incidents some of which shawn has talked about already and i'll add a couple of points out to them the battery on february

had the bartender served two pat radiance and said the drinks would be cleared from the court at the 12:00 o'clock. one of the patrons was drunk and protested the removal of the drinks or the proposed removal of the drinks. a third party that had nothing to do with it said i'll buy your drink without this lady yelling in the bar. she become angry at him and said oh, you're a rich boy so the bartender said you two are out of here so he kicked the two patrons out and he noticed they were hiding across the street behind a pole. i think he did the right thing holding onto the victims and it's indefinitely to be

commended about 10 minutes later, he opened the doors and within a few momentums they were attacked and one was attacked he sustained a concussion and the bartender helped to coral the person he was arrested by the police. as the police were investigating they came out and the lady who was yelling about the drink being taken away interfered with the investigation and was arrested. a couple of issues i've cracked the bar about one is the over serving. i talked to the officers it's well documented in the report they were highly intoxicated in this matter so they were served, you know, morning they should

have been. i talked about and sent an e-mail to the establishment i understand your licensed and changed to a full service boar i ask the employees take the leesdz training it's free and can lead to lower insurance rates we don't want people hurt and people served at the point they're starting fights or people getting victimized. we've talked about the leads training and the offer serving and the part about they have to cut things off at the 12 o'clock. it's possible the intoxicated lady thought she was being cheated but if you're up front

12 o'clock we've got to clear the drinks maybe they mentioned that but signage will help we're working with them right now and the bar seems to they're concerned about the injuries and said anyone that haven't been leads trained already will be. the other incident there was a battery drudge in public it happened at the 9:30 on february 16th. this is i'm getting used to some of the bars being open early in the morning but t a drunk patron claims he was attacked by the a security staff the police were called and we're assuming as far as the security cameras it is the second time the owners have

been able to furnish footage and show their staff was acting proper loochls it's a he said she said but a lot of times we see the person was not in a fight but gets into a fight in the street would someone. this is one of the reasons we like the bars to have the security cameras so we can go back and like i said this was the second time that monroe was accused of something they were arrested for being drunk in public. another item was the party bus issue that shawn talked about. i got a call from the lieutenant that was out that night and he saw the crowded sidewalks.

you had the question so far as them registering they unusual call up the central station we went over what was important no sidewalks blocked and the window of buses coming and a pickup time and the next bus comes and the next bus. i talked to grepg cam he said it was chinese new year so there was a lot of traffic that's understandable as far as it being late i get that but the lacht bus ways supposed to pick up at the 140 and the last bus picked up at the 240. that's a lot of people hanging around on the sidewalk and getting upset so the lieutenant

at the scene talked about president more and more security and where's the other security they said they're inside it was an 18 and overcrowd coming over from uc berkley so they need to plan better. we're trying to how do you, you know, have 2 hundred people picked up by buses we don't want them i do left leg out there there's a work in progress but he's fully committed to work with that. another issue illegal night clubs. it's not every every month every once again it pops up an officer

dealt with us e.r. he was going to a stabbing call so he couldn't deal with that but was talking about that on california street. in the past there's a lot of keys out there but we can't house the illegal night clubs pr the last part two thefts one at the 65 sutter and on mason street. commissioner joseph >> i have just one question and then a comment but on the party bus. so the party bus doesn't have to get permission from the cv d they're regulated by state but the club has to visit central station >> we want them visiting us a

that's a no stopping no parking zone. >> what happens in the bus just pulls up. >> they'll be ticketed and a cited and they'll have to leave immediately. >> my last question i see there's a problem of identifying the 2 hundred patrons or the one hundred patrons they should be all audits when the bus is ready to pickup. that's what we're trying to workout those wrinkles you have to do it in stages. one of the things the manager was talking about him having a more hands on relationship with the bus companies and not relying on the promoter or whoever is organizing the party so in the future he'll have a one-on-one with the bus companies those are our

expectations we can't have exposure. it was a closed party >> as for my comment so staff knows i was driving by one od us this weekend and there was yet another party. i didn't stop because i had a car full of guests so >> we went to a regular code enforcement meeting that the city attorney puts on and we did hear the same and the city attorney jennifer choi has already sent a letter to the property owner and she thought that it ended up the situation but she was aware as well it continued so she's on the case.

>> thank you. >> commissioner lee. >> what happened to the - i thought there was a party bus pickup area down below the hill. >> if there are buses that go down the streetcar not in the toy away zone those are the ones not contacting usually the club contracts me but sometimes they go down broadway past that, you know, the 4 hundred and 5 hundred block i've seen them go as far as sanderson street. >> so when they contract you shouldn't the club tell the bus there's an area i guess there's no official area but some of the

other clubs were sending them down to the bottom of the hill for unloading. >> that's correct. we have not heard of that many problems latest as far as that goes sometimes they're dropping off for an area but the clubs are not calling us and saying hey >> is there anyway to communicate to the cv d that would alleviate the problems i know it's not an official bus stop. >> the ones that are registering with central station that's the ones we're doing a lot of times we don't know they're coming and the clubs don't know they're coming. >> but this one they knew a.

>> but we want to facilitate if their registered we're going to allow them we'd rather them working with us going down to an area like 50 or one hundred people we're able to be contracted and have 4 buses that will be dropping off this amount at this location. >> what about the pickup. >> this was supposed to be done in stajdz but at the late times it messed things up so he's wanting to the manager from horizon dot scores is going to work directly with the bus drivers. >> when you say it's in stages the busses didn't arrive until

240. >> that's the late bus. >> i think the last bus was around 1:30 but the plan was for the late bus to be leaving at 140. if we could have had the 2 hundred people out of the area, you know, the violence reduction team can deal with the other issues >> i'm just saying there's a separate area a little bit further away like a designated area. >> you have drunk girls in high heels walking down the street. >> but if they're going to do it alleviates the problem. >> so we are going to do any comment. >> yeah. i want to reapply to

committee i know busy businesses don't want party buses dropping people off to use their restrooms so i'm not sure that's going to help anyone or anything dropping off in another location. >> thank you. is there any public comment on the police report? all right. i don't see any public comment is closed >> item 5 is the informational presentation by the office of economic and workforce development staff open the proposed project program. >> i'm kern rich with the office of economic and workforce development we have an informational presentation about supporting community to activate

spaces. this includes an amendment to the police code supporting the broad plaza program we want to take time to talk about the amendments. the legislature passage includes a new charter an administrative code charter 54 that accomplishes the companion amendment. the police amendment is identified in the administration code charter 54 as a limited life performance and established anytime requirements. my colleague will make a short presentation about the program and we're available for questions. i want to relocate ben he's here also to answer any queries i'm

going to turn it over to robin >> good evening, commissioners. a little shorter i'm going to move this down. we want to start out saying the effort is a collaborative effort and i want to recognize we've been working with the division of real estate. thanks. as well as depending on this project we'll continue to work on this collaboratively with the working group that has members represented in the go up you see here. so moving to tell you a little bit more about the background. so san francisco has become known nationally for the innovative events. and the parklets you might know but the dwp alliance parks

program that also support the citizens participation as well as the urban forests that do the sidewalk garden projects. all those projects involves the praurpgs but the city doesn't have an approach for the plaza that are not part of the rec and park department jurisdiction. so those spies emerge citywide right now and don't have a system terrific support system once they emerge. we role building they help to transform the public realm but don't also have a sustainability approach. so some of the examples where they emerge from are the pavement and parks as well as

the in kind process through the planning department those are cases where the builder build and efforts like investments in parks as well as the areas plans are the places where those places emerge from. i've talked about the plaza but so we're talking about plaza that are not small generally over 2 though square feet in active corridors so those kwo could be commercial or along bicycle corridors or national pedestrian or activation potential. they as i mentioned are outside of rec and park department jurisdiction and have temporary intervention and i want to point

out a lot of times the activation some of ones we hear are for the farmer's market and retail and food stunts and i have some examples in this slide that are not traditional ones this year is a crow shall i one. there's definitely for many of the spaces community interest in them. so the proposal for the plaza program as i mention like the other city efforts is statute based by stewardship by community based also the city's efforts to streamline some event permitting process that's where

the live performance comes in and i could detail some of the other efforts we can capture those opportunities in the public spaces in a way that the city doesn't do right now and support of the activation of those spaces. we could network those efforts citywide so different plaza and different stewart's working together. as i mentioned before those plaza emerge from existing city programs and this program actually helps tie them in for their long term sustainability approach. so just broadly there's two types of plaza 1 is street plaza and one is city plaza what is different the street are right-of-way and the city plaza

are spaces in the morning a street for whatever reason sometimes you have a street that a plaza stays a street because of access issues or all sort of other reigns. so as a summary of the legislative approach it's in the admin code charter 94 that code directs the program and the planning code and the public works code and the police code. the police code amendment identifies the plazas in the program potentially as types of limited live performance low cal and establishes various permits from them and their enumerated and we're happy to answer

questions at the end. in conclusion the plazas program is a broad program and hopes to support stewardship efforts especially the sustainability over time and also support innovative fence. we hope this will help with collaboration with city agencies and i'd like to point out too that besides supporting the community right around the plaza we see those spaces could support citywide community of artists and musicians to have more spaces to perform and support those citywide communities. in conclusion we'd love to have more space and clean and city active open spaces.

thank you >> thank you. commissioner joseph >> this is great long-term in the coming. i have some questions when you talk about plazas that have stewardship you leaning mean like a plaza for a street >> that's an example of a model the the program legislatively means to be adapted as a program and plaza by plaza yes, we looked at that as a model but not part of the program. >> i have a couple of for questions. so when you talk about sustainability especially, if this free concerts on the street how do you intend to support those are plaza by klein them

and stuff like this >> that's interesting when the plaza plaza by plaza to become a stuart of this space one of the ways i'll say clearly is by revenues generated from their activities in the plaza so if they have farmers markets or event that are generating revenue the legislation requires that all the revenues go back into the programming and maintenance of that plaza. that's one avenue >> so what happened if it's a band and they're playing 83 and it's free to the public. >> we assume there will not be revenue generate by every activity but getting a permit license
