is the conservative estimate because we don't actually know how many are title and permitted at this point. >> is that, the conclusion is that there is no more exemptions that is actually more capture? >> it is more restrictive over all, yes. >> yes. >> and any other questions? >> i just, i want to say thank you, again, for this as well. and thank you, commissioner ortiz-cartagena said, i like this it is very balanced on both sides, and i was involved in the prop g when that was going to ballot zm the number eleven was just pulled out and there was no analysis and that number was just pulled out and i remember being at some of those meetings where the people were going between eleven and
9:01 am
15, five, and i mean a lot of people and i see, you know, a lot of people said five, and they argued other people wanted it higher. and so, that number was just pulled out of thin air, and this is why i really appreciate this because now we have the hard data. and it also does tighten controls. and you know, i know that somebody in the audience is not going to like what i am about to say, but real estate companies taking over neighborhoods like in my neighborhood and taking away valuable small business space, you have, and i am a banker, and the atms as a small business, advocate, drive me crazy so i am happy that you put atms on here because the banks put in a lot of atm and get around the system and i really appreciate the data, and the input that went into this. and because it is finally we have some hard data and it does, tighten up, controls, and i think that some neighborhoods are going to thrive even more
9:02 am
with small businesses. and i really really appreciate what you have done here. and i do know that your out reach, and you were speaking with them and the people up in the upper market. and because a lot of them with a lot of people who are kind of driving this, and so, i appreciate that. and that is, just as tough of a crowd as any other neighborhood. as we know. so, i just wanted to say thank you, and i totally support this legislation. >> do we have a motion? >> i would like to speak. >> okay. >> i think that it is pretty clear that the situation here is that the review process is the problem not the number, of businesses >> these are popular local business and they will ab proved in these neighborhoods there is no need to raise this
9:03 am
to 20 and you are doing damage to certain neighborhoods that pride themselves on not having formula retail and you are opening up the door just so that you can add a few percent. and this is not a trade off situation. where, you tighten up in some areas and you loosen in others. the will of the people is clear, that we do not want to loosen these formula retail standards far from it. and frankly i believe that this is not in the spirit of prop g, which the voters approved, and i am wondering if this will even hold up in court. but i am opposed to raising it to 20, i think that it is unnecessary, the planning department needs to get in there and fix their cu process, and several speakers said, make it much shorter so it is not an arduous task and this is what needs to be done we do not need to raise this to 20 and we do
9:04 am
not need to just say, oh, it is too hard with spin offs and just blow it off. this is an important issue, and many, many of our neighborhoods, and many of these folks have spoken before the planning commission, who could not be here tonight, including the debos triangle association who are opposed to these changes. so, i want to raise a vote and say this is the small business commission and not the chain stores and the big corporation commission and the voices of the small businesses need to be heard right now, right here, by our commission. >> okay, do we have a motion on this? >> to approve or disapprove? >> i would like to just propose, i think that you guys did a good job to district address all of the concerns and you reaffirm that the changing it from 11 to 20 is not going to make a big difference, but
9:05 am
instead you kepts your more formula retail and so i move to support it. >> do we have a second? >> i second. >> roll call? >> so on the motion to recommend approval to the board of supervisors and the planning commission, commissioner adams? >> yes. >> dooley. >> no. >> commissioner ortiz-cartagena. >> no. >> commissioner yee rilely in >> yes. >> commissioner tour-sarkissian. >> yes. >> commissioner white? >> yes. >> the motion passes three votes in favor and, two opposed >> great. >> excuse me. >> four. >> sorry, excuse me, for the record, motion passes four votes in favor, two opposed. >> sorry. >> mr. president that takes us to the next item on the ago agenda, director's report this is a discussion item
9:06 am
>> we have lost our screens. >> hit it, and maybe it will come back. >> i see, so commissioners i am going to make our report pretty sisinc tonight and i just wanted to let you know that you have your and we did the dashboard for the first quarter of the year and our numbers are down a little bit in terms of clients served and that is definitely due to jane's absence and even though we had the temporary help it does not necessarily replace a seasoned employee, and this current quarter, that we are just about to close to see more drops and the clients and with only one available and but we are getting close to having that come to an end. and with hopefully being able to do the interviews come early

9:08 am
we are having a temperature employee and with that i think that i am going to conclude my report unless you have any questions. >> this will take a long time to train a new employee? >> yes, it does. >> i mean in terms of especially for the business counselors because of the level of complexity with each particular type of business, that may be involved and you don't necessarily know who is going to walk in through that door, so to be able to train and you know, somebody to be, able to answer any questions, for any type of business, it does take time. >> i am seeing that and whether or not it is worth it to get the temporary help. >> and it, we are fortunate that we actually have an individual who is or who does the business counseling but on the technical operations side, and so he was very interested in learning on the permitting and licensing side, and so, for this individual, i think it is,
9:09 am
and it will be worth the while. >> okay, good. >> need any more questions? >> okay, next item please? >> takes us to item 9, president's report, discussion item. >> as i want to say is that i want to thank everybody who participated in small business week last month. and i think that everybody did here participate and colorado first flavor event which was really good and i also want to thank both christian murdock and for the record and the director for the leadership and having the booth and flavors and everything with martha. and it was san francisco during the small business week and also since i know that we are on tv right now and hopefully the people from the city are watching this, we are having the sidewalks and they will be opened in the castro, on june 21st and we are having a sidewalk sale and we have been

9:24 am
entire city. and been dreamed of by san francisco residents and has been a great partner and community organizations. i have no further comment >> thank you, ms. lane. okay. if there are no questions oh, mr. star from the planning department >> good aaron starr the elective affairs for the planning department as laura pointed out this will allow miniature govlz golf course to obtain a liquor licenses they're not permitted now to obtain licenses within the mission district. the planning commission heard it and recommended unanimous support with the following modifications b-1 c the uses of
9:25 am
the bowling alleys are retained with other uses that don't require an entertainment permit and clarify the uses in subdivision b-1 with the eating establishments get the b c licenses they allow bowling alleys and skating rings to transfer liquor licenses with or without within integrated with the restaurant use. the commission recommended this modification so another modification will not be needed for a similar use for bowling alleys that want to open in the district and utilizes a defined used in the planning code for the clarity of the code. the second modification clarifies the departments practice laughing uses to
9:26 am
transfer liquor licenses out the su d if the abc. my understanding is the first recommendation was not included but the second one was. that's it thank you >> thank you mr. star ms. lane i have a question as supervisor campos decided not to accept the first recommendation. >> we're not moving forward we've not been able to get the community input so this will have a small control change that's not clean in the code that's a better way to get the community input for the special use district. >> mr. star this other entertainment uses so bowling alleys, movie that's right and
9:27 am
mini golfs. >> skating rinks and things like that we understand the supervisors reason to not. >> okay. thank you. so i very much support this legislation and support in legislation and this has been just a long and widening road for a number of years and the acholic beverage special district was put in place in the 90s out of concern for the proliferation of some colorful uses it's well intended. it was, however, a very, very blunt instrument and over time it evident up causing huge problems in terms of making it difficult for new and interesting businesses to come into the mission and be able to serve beer.
9:28 am
i have expressed because i co-sponsored several of those with supervisor kim i've expressed the u u d should be repealed and making those patchwork exemptions is not good i've supported them because they do improve the situation even though not addressing the root issue supervisor campos and i co-sponsored legislation about a year and a half guaranteeing ago to transform the controls within the su d. i think there's something to be said with the recommendation of the planning commission the bowling alleys we allow them to open and it's phenomenal we have a single athlete groups to allow
9:29 am
them to serve alcohol and now for mini golf given the list read by mr. star we shouldn't have to when a business comes in the area they should not have to get special legislation because we just did movie that's right but businesses he said to be innovative to the roller skating rink so i really think that the first recommendation should be accepted and colleagues i don't know what you think but i'm open to an amendment to include the first recommendation from the planning commission. so i'm asking for input if colleagues supervisor mar >> can i ask mr. star to repeat first recommendation and
9:30 am
supervisor camposs position on the second one as well. >> so the first recommendation is to modify section d one c that's the machining golf course and strike out bowling alleys and put other uses that don't require a permit. that was added because those types of uses this are poetry recitals and live music performances other types of uses that are typically clued if the uses. way - >> away was 0 it to add the language for the miniature golf. >> supervisor wiener's ideas to board
