alley doorway that i have noticed open two weeks ago. so i just spoke at length with the owner about monitoring the levels and making sure that the security was posted at those doors at all times preventing the patrons and staff from using it as an in and out. this past weekend, the neck of the woods, 406 clement had a call for loud music, and this was a san francisco police found a private gathering there after hours. so, we are going to set up a meeting, to speak with them. pardon me? >> rec room is a business that we are working with right now to address some ongoing sound issues. they are on california street and they have a few speakers sitting mounted in their ceiling, and on a very difficult sound system to

adjust individually. and so i have been by a few time now trying to work with their managers and adjusting the sound systems so that it is not disrupting local neighbors. and made a lot of progress with them, regarding keeping their sidewalks clear and keeping patrons quiet outside of the premises. the first time that i had seen the armory, the new armory building in action was two weeks ago. and they had a party game of throwns kick off party and i noticed a little bit of congestion in the back of the building and generally speaking the lines were managed well and the crowd control was very good. and just on a general patrol of kt on the similar street and after, conversing with the manager there, and realizing they had some new staff on that

night, but, i did notice a multiple open containers and one in the hand of a patron, outside of the establishment and two in the tree, just a few feet from the front door and so we had a lengthy information and i think that we will be following up with the notice of violation and notes for that. >> that is about all that i have, any questions? >> commissioner joseph? >> okay, i have two questions, on maze, so the door in the alley, is that the door with the exhaust fan in it? the door itself i don't believe has an exhaust fan but the r2 silver exhaust fans are right next

experience with the kt that there their security only cares about the door, it does not... it seems to me that they do not care about much and when you found containers outside, would you say those were containers patrons brought to the venue and left outside before they went in? or were they containers people brought out of the venue into the street? >> i would say the first container that i noticed in the alley on the side of the building was probably brought from inside kt's and i did not see it but i did see it in someone's handouts of the venue and it looked like they were associated with the venue itself. and the two containers in the front were both plastic and filled with just what looked like to be a small amount of

beer and my assumption there was that they were probably dropped by the trio on the way past the club and at the very least one container that i would associate with the venue and then two additional which they did nothing to. >> they had the proper amount of security for the occupancy. >> they have, i believe, i did not, i did not check there, they are not going to see it that evening. and i believe that they are small enough to just have a 49 occupancy. >> they have more than one door. >> they do have two doors, and they had two security on that night, and two security and a manager. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you. >> i have a quick question about conya and we did not permit them and so the sound check was just for the ipod and the speaker system? >> this was a neighborhood ambiant level. so that is correct. they do not have a permit. and i was just out getting a neighborhood reading.

>> how i guess, cooperative have they been to just levels that you have set? >> so far, any time that i have driven by since they were last here, in front of the commission, i have not heard anything outside of the venue, i have not yet to have any conversations with them about the level of music that is inside of the establishment and what was the level that you said. on the neighborhood level. and i have to look at notes. there are a few, the baker next door does give off a pretty consistent sound from the roof and it is in a flight path and i believe for sfo. and so it is not a silent neighborhood, but it is not also a major thorough fair where you get a lot of foot or vehicle traffic. and you get the exact reading and after the follow up. >> and so this visit over 70. >> no.

>> it was under 65 do you think? >> it was right around 65. >> thank you. >> commissioners are there other questions to inspector's report. and all right, is there any public comment about the director and inspector's report? >> i don't see any. all right the public comment is closed. and we will move on to the next item? and which is the police department comments and questions. so, officer and any other officers the floor is yours. >> hello commissioner and staff, from the center station and not a lot of insurance did incidents and some significant ones and kind of light on that and we will go over of different ones, the first one was from club atmosphere, 447 broad way on april 12th at 1 a.m. and i will read the narrative on the above date and time, i along with martin and

tow were assigned to the broad way because of the patrons with the numerous strip clubs that draw a diverse crowd. and across the broad way street, we heard it come from in front of atmosphere and a large group were coming out and standing there with an unknown female screamed and had the shirt up to her waist and she was running away as she continued to run away and fall to the crowd. at one point, one of her female friends picked her up over her shoulders and walked her to the street and a short time later, a silver personal vehicle pulled up in front of the atmosphere and turned on the hazard lights and prior to the vehicle arrival, it ushered the group to get out of the front entranceway and pointed the

group to the adjacent alley and as soon as the vehicle arrived, the officer started to video tape the intoxicated female, as female was forced into the back of the vehicle. >> i spoke to the security and people. they were just inside of the atmosphere and the birthday girl was very drunk and so they had to take her home, the remaining group then went back into the club. i spoke to the security, and i asked them why the female got so drunk and the unidentified security guard told me she is pretty drunk from the bottle service, i complained that they need to monitor the level so they do not get as drunk and out of control. and he replied it is bottle service and infering that they had no responsibility since the patrons serve themselves. i further told them that they needed to care as incidents like this one could effect the liquor license and with no license he would not be

employed, and he smugly said that he would be employed someplace else and that was, you know looking at over serving tied into the bottle service and the other one, that i will go into in just a moment was over serving or possible over serving, and with the drunk person, but, when you have the bottle service and you are not monitoring it just creates problems and you have a bottle right there and it could be a grup of eight people and two meals with one person. >> could you talk more into the mic. >> the bottle service you don't know how many people are actually consuming that bottle, when it is not monitored you will be intoxicated quickly. the second was on april 14th at 1:340 a.m. and this the and narrative, we noticed two men struggling and the nightclub known as atmosphere, we exited our patrol car and immediately

recognized barow as the employee at at moss fear and i also saw the suspect striking barrow about the head and shoulders with a cell phone and i saw the suspect was bleeding from his face and mouth and the officer attempted to defain the suspect by taking control of the arms and order him to stop resisting, unfortunately he did not submit to our authority, and as soon as i saw the security officer disengage and backed away. and once the group, and once on the ground and with the assistance of several other sfpd officers and we were successful in seeing the suspect in handcuffs and i called the par paramedic there and i also noticed that the suspect's eyes were red and waterly and that his face was flush and there was an odor about the alcohol in his breath and all of the symptoms of alcohol intoxication. and then they had one statement and i will just read a couple of sentences. and the security guard was working in the front door for

the security for the club atmosphere and he was standing outside in front of the club's entrance when he saw him starting the physical altercations with the patrons inside of the atmosphere and he escorted the suspect out and he was bleeding from his mouth because of the altercations inside of the club and the suspect agitated from being taken out of the club, began to spit blood and yelling i have aids and he began to rub his hand and smeared it all over the front windows of atmosphere and the security told him to stop and he turned around the security and swinging at his face with a closed fist. he said that they would begin to fight at that point. i think that it is another example of the intoxication levels that caused, you know, the problems that we are dealing with on broad way. the next incident is that vessel and this was a battery

and that was, this is on april 13th and a little after 2:00, two patrons were arrested for battery, earlier one patron was ejected and he was waiting for his friends to come out, and once all three came out the patrons began to an tagize the two females and the two intervened and attacked and the suspect kicked a woman before getting on market street and two suspects were arrested. the last one were some threats and one at mcgeary, on grant street and 3 at the ruby sky and one at 530 jackson, any questions or comments? >> i only have one question, in the incident with the guy who is bleeding and you believe that he came from atmosphere? >> he was fighting inside of the atmosphere and he was ejected which is the proper thing to do. >> right. >> and then he was spitting at, i believe that it says that he

was spitting at the security guard. >> so was there only one security guard or was there security guard have back up. >> all that they have in here just mentioned that the officers saw the suspect in the one security guard and i don't know anything further than that if there were other people involved. >> okay, thanks. >> i have been hearing a lot of atmosphere over the last few months if not longer. and you said that you have been talking to the security, but i am just curious do you feel like there is any greater action that our commission needs to take around and to bring them in or try to negotiate with them. >> prior, i think that it was prior to the last meeting, we had a sit down with the staff, and we went over, the different issues, that they needed to fix. one of my recommendations was either monitoring the bolts service, that basically we just can't have those intoxication levels. and his permit does not prohibit bottle service, and

however, you know, i look at the problems that are caused from it and this is just one example of that. do you see, change? i know that it sounds like it has only been about a month and do you think that they have been changing their management. >> i have looked at and we have had two report and this is after we had the meeting with staff. and we had two incidents that i know about that came to the level of documentation. and you know, that is might be helpful, because i would like to see, you know, we want the club to thrive. but, we just can't have the calls for service in the violence, you know, every single weekend. >> yeah, it sounded pretty regular, so it is certaining. >> so commissioner hyde. >> i was also going to ask them about bringing them in and i wanted to ask a question because when i used to get a beer bust at the eagle they would have them come around and

fill my glass and they can no longer do that, but yet you can give the people bottle service and they can serve themselves from a large bottle. >> yeah. >> yes. >> and so, how is that different, and why can they no longer do that at beer bus, why is that against the law and liquor bottles. >> i don't have an answer because i know the specifics on that particular stairment, i don't know if people were paying for it, or if it was, you know, once you get in there, it is your pay your certain amount and you get the free service the whole time and i am not sure, i have to look into it further as far as getting more information. >> it is weird that the people are allowed to serve themselves. >> right. >> they are not allowed to. >> well did someone pour their drinks and check how much that they are drinking? >> yes. >> it is supposed to have a server, serve you, and monitor the bottle. >> right. >> and beer busts are illegal because if you pay one fee and

it is unlimited, and with bottle service. >> you buy each bottle. >> okay. >> limited amounts of the bottle. >> all right, thank thanks. >> and they are supposed to and the way that people are actually doing it. >> right. >> are there any other commissioner questions or comments for the officer? >> no. >> thank you. >> and we can open it up now to public comment and is there any public comment on the police report? >> come up and state your name into the microphone. >> hello, commissioners my name is gale and i actually came here on another matter and i feel compelled, and we have sent a letter to the owners of atmosphere, asking that they attend our main meeting because we have concerns around how they are administering the business from a business perspective and the party bus and we will have the executive director on the results of that meeting in may and i want you to know that we sent that

letter in the last weekend and we have requested that the owners come in for the cvd for broad way. >> great, thank you. >> and any additional public comment? >> all right, seeing none, public comment is now closed. let's move on to item five xh is hearing and possible action on our permits. and i will now hand it to our deputy director. >> all right. good afternoon, and good evening commission and commissioners our first permit is beluga this is vargdeg kazaryan doing business as belug, 5323 geary, and they opened the russian restaurant last year and at the time that they applied for the place of entertainment permit and this was back in july however they were held up by a planning issue and they had to go through a conditional use to add entertainment and in the meantime they have pulled a few

one time events and they had big, events and weddings and party schedule but no problems occurred during those events, richmond station has no opposition to this permit. you should have an e-mail from officer moore in your binder and at this time i would like to invite you up and the folks and they can tell you a little bit more. >> you don't have any? >> speak into the mic and let us know about your business. >> it is a ethnic food and restaurant. okay. >> there you go. >> and i am sorry. >> arm enian russian, restaurant and we don't have anyone and there actually and i just, one to open one, and... >> great. >> are there any questions from

the commissioners? >> so what kind of events are you planning to hold there? i know... >> actually to like a birthday and weddings and just the family gathers. >> would you bring in the music or dj. >> we want to bring in one man or two man band, like the one person playing on the second one to singing. >> hi, my name is (inaudible) and i am a designer for ta restaurant and i about been working for them for a year and a half and we had a difficult time to go through that process and a city planning and finally we got it through and all of a

sudden we realized that the entertainment required for the conditional use and we want to go through that to finally approve, and we have the restaurant market next door, called the royal market. >> and they are driving the business in a bad location and very night people and they had no problem with the neighborhood, and supporting them and i have seen that the police department drive by and make sure that no one double parks in the street and knowing the business, and they are hiring some people to attend the bartending stuff like that and, there is a mall event that is going to happen and the wedding and in fact, they had recently they had the funeral after dinner for them. and very nicely to be recommend to stop by and the food is excellent and the atmosphere is very nice, and i am sure, that they have a plan to hire

someone to manage the place for them. because it is their businessman, and they have experience of, you know, having a food business and well, i am going to help them out and i have been doing this for a long, long time. and i am willing to support them. 100 percent. so if you have any questions, i will be around and i could give my number for stuff and you can ask me anything that you would like to do. >> thank you. >> are you part of the ownership. >> no, i am just designing for them and we are very close and that is working with each other because i like the personality of this two yes and they own the place and they have to work with them. >> okay, thank you. >> any additional questions. s >> i do. commissioner lee? >> be nice. >> be nice. >> it is a stand alone building? >> yes. >> are there apartments upstairs. >> yes, there are offices upstairs and that the people that work for the place and

they stay in the building and so they sleep there. >> i am not sure, just you know, >> basically it is single use. >> yeah, just single use permit. >> so when you designed a spot knowing that there was entertainment did you do any sound proofing. >> yes, the walls and we had the, you know the neighbors and they came in and we run the test and we, you know, nobody complained or anything, and the double wall and insulation inside and the ceiling and it is extensive insulation and so i am looking at the floor plan and the stage is on the second floor and. >> no, on the first land. >> i see a ground floor and on the back here, i guess that it is a reverse image. >> and so, there is no sound system that you put in there. >> no.

>> and when they advance it still brings their own. >> very simple. >> if this is very simple banning, and it is not the lab rate on the music and the dance. >> i know. >> sometimes when they come they will bring their own amplifier and there is the next door neighbor that they can hear. >> with he had and they put in the new fence and the higher fence on the property line, when we changed the whole thing so that it would be very thick fencing so that the sound will not travel and there is a door and a safety door in there for the egress and all insulated door and so the sound cannot get out and even if you open the door there is a high fence in there so the bounce, the sound bounces on the wall and comes back. >> okay. >> all right. >> good evening. commissioner perez? >> one more follow up question. >> so, i understand that you guys are doing the best that you can to manage the sound and you guys will be good neighbors

to your neighborhood. but just in case there is a complaint from one of your neighbors about the sound, so what is your process for handling that? >> i have a friend in sound business. if anybody complaints we can bring him in and ask him to put up some sound barricade inside so... >> and they have and what they, right now, you are trying to go to bed and i see the loud noises from yaour establishment. >> what is the process, what do you do? >> we will stop it and the close the business, you know, we will close the music portion of it so that nobody will be harassed and i am sure, that we are not into it. >> the big business and entertainment, it is pretty quiet parties, very simple private parties. >> okay, thank you. >> is there something.

>> sure if you want to say one more thing. >> yes, we will get three or four license for the music, and we have like a birthday and they will get any complaint and anything from the neighbors, also, the over populate and so the music will not go too high. and we will control that. and so, four times has never been any complaint or anything about the issue or with the police department or the neighbors or with anybody. >> great, it sounds like you have been running it well then, thank you. >> and i visit and you know that i can. >> and all right, oh, commissioner campagnoli? >> is this the spot where the sullivan sporting goods used to be. >> yes. and you have the royal market. >> yes. >> and so you are right next door and what is the on side. >> it is on the door and it is right. >> and right, okay, and okay, and then upstairs are the

offices. >> right. and you are going to be open until two a.m.. >> actually not until like less likely for 12 or 12:30, and one there is nobody there and we start cleaning and we left. >> that has never had any entertainment on it so i wish you good luck, be sure that you do not blast the neighbors out. >> actually the neighbors and we are in for the grand opening and all of the neighbors and some time even in the private party and our neighbors will just come inside of the bar. >> okay and then happy for us and we don't have any problems with the neighbors. >> thanks. >> let me add one more thing to this thing, and while you are doing the reconstruction, we put the compressor on the roof and they want us to do sound proofing and we build the wall

on top of the market and the diverse and the sound of it and not towards the neighbor and so we did that before, and even before this entertainment come up. >> impressed and that is what you should do as a compressor on the roof. that is very good. >> i think that we have heard enough and go ahead and have a seat. it does not look like officer moore is here tonight but if there is anyone from the alu that wants to speak to this. >> no, we have a letter from officer moore that says that he does not anticipate any concerns and and not any conditional conditions. and so is there any public comment now opened up to public comment on beluga. >> i don't see any, public comment is closed. commissioners, the matter is now with us. >> i would like to move to approve this permit. >> second. >> great. >> on the motion to approve with the good neighbor policy.
