from the joslyn and others in the city and obviously those meetings the night life handbook is from soup to starting a business and keeping a successful business running from how to start a business obviously that's more than just finding a place for great zoning but finding a space for the type of business and a neighborhood that works for the type of business you're trying to run there's all sorts of guidance. in terms of getting permits. a lot of the work that ought to be done should be done before the application it filed. this site outlines the types of permit the restaurant and bar and nightclub might need and encourages people to take the
12:36 pm
appropriate preapplication steps to learn about how to successfully get through the permitting process. there are also best practices running a night life business and a lot of materials that the entertainment commission has developed the security manual they'll to have and this links out to all over the place. and finally a section addressing noise but perhaps sound another lesson learned when noise generally and the various, you know, what happens if you violate a noise condition on our permit. and one of the things that came up was the centerpiece of the
12:37 pm
night life summit earlier this year was the southern that businesses have about new developments unhappy and what to do in working with the planning department we've developed this one page understanding new sites there's a number of tools that the planning department makes available there's a number of people in san francisco that already use to find out block book notices to be invited of permits there are a great map that the planning department has of permits you can input our address and look up the permits and who from planning has been staffed for the projects really the goal is recognizing obviously, we need new housing and number one, the new businesses are disputing the
12:38 pm
fact we need more housing the businesses are taking advantage of the being involved inform be able to speak with developers and speak with the planning department in a way that is educated and not coming from a place of fear and anxiety. this site hosted one of the life performance handouts trying to get the word out to the community of live performance. the legislation links for the night life and for the san francisco music community one of the pieces of feedback wouldn't that be cool if we listed the reco recording studios >> obviously late night
