or lack of thoroughly completing the application to or address all of the issues that we bring up and we have still given them some kind of opportunity that is less than a year to make amends to work with the community, more diligently, to try harder. to impress upon them how serious this is. and how serious we take our requirements. and in a year is a really long time, that is basically saying, you are not going to have a business. >> commissioner joseph? >> so just, to that point, they are a restaurant, and they will be able to continue to operate as a restaurant, and a bar. they can put on an ipod. and have complimentary music. i don't know what the, or if they came to apply for a

different permit like an llp and i don't know if that will be not allowed, because it is an absolutely different permit. but, in no way, are we impacting their primary business by not allowing them to do sunday fun day. and i mean that is my opinion. on this. >> and commissioner hyde? >> and i just wanted to also, just to reiterate what commissioner jaef has said and i mean that i understand that a year is harsh and having never denied or asked to deny a permit before, i understand the harshness of it and i just think that you know, i really did not take into consideration what had happened there before, because i am not actually really well versed in it. and i did receive the e-mails, however, what i heard were people who at this time are unprepared to accelerate entertainment in that position. i believe in a year if they

were to come back, they would be able to elevate and have some entertainment possibly, if they learn what they should be doing. what i saw is people who are unprepared and who have impacted the neighborhood without a license, and really have no great remorse about it. and had a community out reach meeting the night before this happened hoping to come in here and get the permit. is what i saw. and these are reasons why i do not believe that they didn't post correctly and they did not behave correctly and there is no reason to reward that kind of behavior. >> commissioner akers? >> so this will be an opportunity for the applicant to work more diligently with the community, and the neighbors, particularly, and not just the people that are coming to eat at the restaurant, bup the people who have been impacted the most

severely impacted in the evening hours and when they are trying to sleep or the fear that i heard, and it sounds like, either they have a year to work on this, diligently and seriously, or possibly, apply for a different type of permit. or, commissioners, they could appeal this... >> right >> or appeal the decision. >> right. >> and that will be at the board of appeals. >> and the board of appeals would probably want to see similar resolutions with the community. >> right. >> and i think that we have, and the conversation around the motion they have already cited specific kind of parts of the code that we are using as rationale for not allowing it. and i mean that i do think and i appreciate commissioner akers point because i think that we have continued items for like six months and some time of a duration less than a year. that is an option if people want to do that. >> is that an option.

>> no. >> we have. >> we can't. >> okay >> six months. >> you can continue this. >> for two weeks. >> two weeks. >> the permit must be decided within 45 days of the posting. and they come here 30 days, and they get and we can continue it once, they can continue it for longer periods of time but we can continue it once. >> that is what i am referring to. >> we have given the people conditional. >> we have given them conditional ones with limited periods. >> to make amends or to do better >> right >> so i think that wril wrap up the discussion, and commissioner lee could you do. >> and i mean, how do you feel about giving them two weeks to try to work it out with them? >> if is futile and they have to go to the board of appeals and be better repaired than coming with what we just did just now. >> i would not accept that and

i would like my motion to stand as stated. >> the motion is to deny the permit and there was a second. >> on that motion. >> take the vote. >> on the motion to deny the permit. eperez. >> aye. >> akers. >> no. >> hyde. >> aye. >> joseph. >> aye. >> lee. >> aye. >> commissioner campagnoli. >> aye. >> president tan. >> aye. >> so, it is 6-1, to deny, the permit. >> all right, so the motion passes. let's move on, thank you, everyone in the public to come out and speak today. >> our next item is item 6, which is just commissioner comments and questions. commissioners? anyone say anything? >> i thought that our i had a great time on saturday, i thought that was a really good meeting thanks for everyone for coming and for the staff for putting it together. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> any other commissioner

comments. >> thank you. and the lunch was good. >> yeah, the lunch was great. >> it was great. >> lunch box. >> i had garlic breath for hours. >> yeah. >> commissioner perez. >> is it possible to have a second one this year for another and not a retreat just an off site meeting? >> i will bring that up to the executive director. >> and hash out things and talk about things. more informally? >> sure. >> i will bring that up with her. >> so you are not talking about an official tuesday night meeting, you are talking about a retreat. >> okay. >> and any other commissioner comments and questions. >> is there any public... >> yeah? >> were you going to say anything? >> is there any public comment on how fabulous our retreat was. >> all right. >> let's move on to item 7, new business request for future agenda items. >> okay, so i have two, i would like to schedule in maybe a month and a half, a formal

discussion about party buses here at the commission. >> all right. so mid may? >> mid nai may would be great. >> and i don't have a date but i don't want it to be six months down the road. and then also, i know that we had talked that there are a lot of incomplete applications and i would like the staff to start to take actions on those applications. >> you got it. >> could you share with the commissioners list of who those people are. >> i can't off of the top of my head, but i will have a list for you the next meeting. >> that is too bad you don't have a spread sheet in your mind. >> almost does, i think. >> dart board. >> electronic dart board. >> any public comment to the future agenda items >> come to the summit. >> and any quick announcements. >> come to our summit next monday, april 7 from one to

four p.m. at the main library and we will have a lot of topics. >> and we will talk about who is going to be there. >> sure. who is... >> who is planning to go? >> i am. >> i don't have to go. >> so she specifically requested and tell her the times and hours that you going so she can tell you when. >> it is a public meeting, is it not. >> it is public. >> and so we can be there. >> okay. >> it was going to be a problem and that we could go. >> and we go. >> and so it is a public meeting. >> all right. >> have a good night, this meeting is now adjourned.

safe and we're going to talk about what shelter in place or safe enough to stay in your home means. we're here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco and joined by carla, the deputy director of spur and one of the persons who pushed this shelter in place and safe enough to stay concept and we want to talk about what it means and why it's important to san francisco. >> as you know the bay area as 63% chance of having a major earthquake and it's serious and going to impact a lot of people and particularly people in san francisco because we live on a major fault so what does this

mean for us? part of what it means is that potentially 25% of san francisco's building stock will be uninhibit tabl and people can't stay in their homes after an earthquake. they may have to go to shelters or leave entirely and we don't want that to happen. >> we want a building stock to encourage them to stay in the homes and encourage them to stay and not relocate to other locations and shelters. >> that's right so that means the housing needs to be safe enough to stay and we have been focused in trying to define what that means and you as a former building official knows better than anybody the code says if an earthquake happens it won't

kill you but doesn't necessarily say that can you stay in your home and we set out to define what that might mean and you know because you built this house we're in now and this shows what it's like to be in a place safe enough to stay. it's not going to be perfect. there maybe cracks in the walls and not have gas or electricity within a while but can you essentially camp out within your unit. what's it going to take to get the housing stock up to this standard? we spent time talking about this and one of the building types we talk about was soft story buildings and the ground floor is vulnerable because there are openings for garages or windows and during the earthquake we saw in the marina they went right over and those

are -- >> very vulnerable buildings. >> very and there are a lot of apartment buildings in san that that are like that. >> and time to. >> >> retrofit the buildings so people can stay in them after the earthquake. >> what do they need? do they need information? do they need incentives? mandates? >> that's a good question. i think it starts with information. people think that new buildings are earthquake proof and don't understand the performance the building will have so we want a transparent of letting people know is my building going to be safe in it after an earthquake? is my building so dangers i should be afraid of being injured? so developing a ranking system for

buildings would be very important and i think for some of the larger apartment buildings that are soft story we need a mandatory program to fix the buildings, not over night and not without financial help or incentive, but a phased program over time that is reasonable so we can fix those buildings, and for the smaller soft story buildings and especially in san francisco and the houses over garages we need information and incentives and coaxing the people along and each of the owners want their house to be safe enough. >> we want the system and not just mandate everybody. >> that's right. >> i hear about people talking about this concept of resiliency. as you're fixing your knowledge you're adding to the city wide resiliency. >> >> what does that mean? >> that's a great question.

what spur has done is look at that in terms of recovery and in new orleans with katrina and lost many of the people, hasn't recovered the building stock. it's not a good situation. i think we can agree and in san we want to rebuild well and quickly after a major disaster so we have defined what that means for our life lines. how do we need the gasolines to perform and water perform after an earthquake and the building stock as well, so we have the goal of 95% of our homes to be ready for shelter in place after a major earthquake, and that way people can stay within the city. we don't lose our work force. we don't lose the people that make san francisco so special. we keep everybody here and that allow us to recover our

economy, and everything because it's so interdependent. >> so that is a difficult goal but i think we can achieve it over the long time so thank you very much for hosting us and hosting this great exhibit, and thank you very much for joining
