planning department recommending that settlement. i'm sure they'll be talking to you about the merits and answering your questions. i'll be here and outside. i don't know what the propriety is of asking me questions, but i'd invite you to call my office and we'll be glad to answer. the time has come to settle the case. it will not open the flood gates. we wrote a letter to you last week in response to the letter you received from the attorney commenting on san francisco's sign law and i don't need to put anything more in the record. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> stand by, please. i stayed up late last night.

10:23 am
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 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.
10:24 am
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 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
10:25 am
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 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
10:26 am
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. 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
10:27 am
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 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
10:28 am
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 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
10:29 am
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 even it. >> to one in case another use wants to open up it will allow that without another ordinance and the definitions. >> what did you say about poetry recitals. >> the other entertainment is other uses and i think anytime that you do serve amplified sounds you need a place of entertainment permit.
10:30 am
>> poetry was with amplified sound. >> yes. >> it would not be permitted with under our modification the idea was to take anti things that require places of entertainment predicament to narrow the types of entertainment. >> so a poetry recital i use the microphones you'll fall into the general requirements the alcoholic beverages and hoping there's other ways to serve beer or wine. >> you wouldn't be able to have a poetry recital use a place that only does poetry retilt i silt with the restaurant and serve acholic beverages. >> that's ridiculous
