3:31 pm
home to creativity breweries 51 do i think it's cool. so in the pretty much a no brainier and san francisco is now starting to get that beer san francisco is r is starting to be the epic center of 52 do >> magnolia is another one and i'm not hearing i've been traveling a lot and i've been hearing hearing about this in other cities like back to michigan everyone wants me to bring back a type of beer it's not sold there a lot. >> this is the corridor that is still though increasingly less so affordableable and it's become one of the draws for economic developing have meant
3:32 pm
in the area this notion that second of the third street from dog patch enjoying down to the bayview is the maker movement that includes hard goods and food products like chocolate and beer and distilled spirit and the brewery on the pier so i think this is completely consistent with the way it is grown over and over gastric and it's good for small businesses in san francisco to support this amendment. >> i agree i'm happy to see they've taken our recommendations and i'd like to move that we. >> we have to take public comment first. >> any other commissioner comments on this. on item 6 do we have public comment?
3:33 pm
seeing none, public comment is closed. >> i'd like to. >> i'd like to - commissioner dooley. >> i'd like to recommend to the board of supervisors the third street alcohol district use. >> roll call. >> commissioner president adams. commissioner dooley. commissioner dwight. supervisor dejust arrest commissioner ortiz-cartagena. commissioners that vote passes unanimously to recommend to the board of supervisors file 140875 >> thank you. next item please. the director's report due to my vacation left last week, i don't have an extensive report but want to bring to your attention so there's legislation that is moving through right now with supervisor david campos in
3:34 pm
working with the legislations around a b and b. so the intent of me bringing this up the potential one of the requirements for individuals that want to make theirs place available on air b and b and utilizes their home or apartment to, however, the recollections go one of the potential requirements they'll be required to register as a business that means the entities are a small business so one of the recent kfgsdz with supervisor chiu's office if they become a registered business that falls within the - those places could fall under title iii of the
3:35 pm
federal ada and what are the businesses responsibility if their truly a public accomodation entity. and so supervisor chiu's office is going to look at this we're in the messy mid of having those exciting dynamic businesses being created on and on online and those opportunities for growth and development but then we have those regulations that are very much, you know, intended for physical brick and mortar kind of businesses. and so this cross section i think is something for us as a commission to review those things and i would be to review them and take a look at it and
3:36 pm
think about you know the requirements for a traditional business a what over and over those implementations are as we develop those types of unique businesses that come out of the sharing or the new technology economic. so i just wanted to bring that to your attention and supervisor chiu's will look at those and we have look at the implementations and in this case with the prevalence with the disability assess lawsuit i want to be causation about opening up a realm of individuals and entities that may not necessarily especially for homeowners that maybe renting out a room because their kids have gone off to college you
3:37 pm
know opening up a whole new realm of potential problems for them. because now they'll be deemed businesses. so bringing that to your attention i'll continue to have conversations with supervisor chiu's office but when those protections come about i think it is a roll for the commission and the offices to look at those and the issues and side effects thanks or things of that sort of. so this is all that i wanted to pass on in my director's report unless there's questions >> is there a draft. >> yes. i will send that to the draft legislation to you. >> any other questions next item. >> item 10 is the president's

3:39 pm
flower market that employees at least 75 thousand? bay area that are effected those are all working class jobs this is something that is enormous and needs to be brought to the attention of our commission in order to have our administration look at this situation. >> what do we want them to do. >> well, i was going to bring this up under new business. as we look at the design center and how that was going to go in there and displace a lot of the small design businesses it's the same thing at the flower market you're taking away a first of all, you have all the flower shop? bay area that flower mart

3:41 pm
comment. >> do we have any members of the public who want to make comments on future meetings seeing none, public comment is closed. item 14 new business >> i got some. >> okay. so on the heels of our conversation today i'd like to us to research and perhaps find a supervisor sponsor to repel the legislation that requires the registration for the po s licenses and to craft some kind of an enforcement model not a blanket preempt active model that instead provides deterrence to that businesses are encouraged to uphold, you know, to act within the law there is a law there are various enforcement models it's not
3:42 pm
mandated the way we've implemented it and the way we've implemented it is waiting this gentleman's time money and effort and waiting the resources of the city and county of san francisco and, in fact, accident benefit is minimum compared to the administrative active and financial burden so if we can find, you know, a supervisor to help us this is another clean up the code sort of thing >> yeah. i have two of them a cat scanner you have it on you are phone what you have on your phone takes away what those people do. >> and the basis of the scare. >> your admitting you're not paying a license fee. >> he's not charging anyone but the process of square we use it in our retail shop when we got the fairs we create a retailer a
