about 12 years first from susan kate and objective for the past 14 months i've had my own place i've worked with aging i didn't i go reiterate what everyone said about her integrity but i want to say is that hayes valley is a neighborhood and obviously growing and expanding it's an exciting place a lot of energy there a lot of that energy convenes at my bar i talk to a lot of people evidence the neighborhood i itself is generously excited to have another place we look forward to have a place hopefully, i you know to come together and what aging i didn't wants is a child out atmosphere to have food and

a glass of wine not going to be like my bar for example, any of those insane places and as a small business owner i think it will be a great edition to the neighborhood it's not recommended currently in hayes valley. that's it thank you very much >> thank you. is there any additional public comment? okay seeing none, public comment is closed dr requester you have a 2 minute rebuttal >> i wanted to use the overhead. sue hester i'm the attorney for

mr. welch this building was bought in 1976 it was converted legally from a single-family home to commercial when the department cleaned up the act of the owner who had been using it as commercial all the time there's now a proposal to have two commercial uses this commercial use here this is the restaurant that doesn't have a kitchen and the garage and this is the stairs going up to the upper level another use the other use had the backyard and had a lot of parties that caused ruckus we're - upper being asked to create a bone fide recipient where there's no one on the plan after the dr was filed and the

planning department became aware that the garage was not being used as a garage but used as a laundry extension they cleaned up the garage what are the used you're being asked to approve you're being asked to approve a rear yard that's closed off but coming back and a rear yard is it is able to be eye from single-family home to commercial uses. you have an obligation to face realty. the planning code didn't allow this project. with a red bar and food preparation for bar food to be called a bone fide restaurant the abc didn't allow it and the planning code didn't allow it and there's another office use

here >> sue our time is up and i'm going. i'm going >> thank you project sponsor you have two minutes. >> hi, i'm angela the one everyone is speaking about first and foremost i'm thrilled for the opportunity to make this happy in hayes valley i've chosen the 41 beer and liquor life insurance i want families there i'm not trying to operate a bar or late night establishment this is why i choose the 44 and not the 42 and mike put the food on the overhead to show you i'm happy to be providing food and wipe and a place for people to enjoy

themselves. you want one more minute >> i have one minute to give to my architect john hood i look forward to having you in my restaurant thank you. and thanks aging i didn't the bottom line we want the restaurant we're not looking for the backyard it is true we're going to come back for the backyard we release realize that getting the backyard especially with the neighborhood is a low chance we're thrilled to be able to operate the routine u restaurant i'd passed out the menus that shows the pricing and the new case rule and have a large plate $30 for food and $20 for wine it's a

bona fide restaurant thank you >> the public hearing is closed. commissioner richards >> i have a question for the zoning administrator who determines the bond inside. >> both so it's enforced by both agency. >> i mean, i saw quickly what the planning code said it was on our next week's calendar and continued to be indecisive is there a mayor eric garcetti defines what's the definition and so the legislation that's proposed for indifferently conclusion makes tweaks to be a little bit less severe definition of a bone fide restaurant and looking at modern eating and modern living when we based on this on abc uncodified

definition that's how we got the difference. >> in my opinion it is this a bona fide restaurant. >> yes. unfortunately, the building the only way to tell is when it's operating. a couple of things to highlight so everyone is aware in the hayes golf both a bar and a restaurant are principally permitted uses so this is a bit of a question about the process and they're correct in terms of the license type 42 is a bar that wouldn't allow minors so if i want to have a family establishment that's a type 41 license. >> i heard someone about receipts anything about checks. >> no their subject to research upon receipt of a complaint

we'll investigate if i may some of the other issues for possible conditions the condition applies i don't need to add that's a code requirement and in regards to the sound like proofing the establishment must have sound proofing and rely on the noise ordinance to assure like the architect to look at percentage and once they open up the walls they maybe striped and benefit them to do the work for its final note. there was a thing about locking the doors if that's an issue with the fire code it's an existing requirement >> it doesn't exit to anything just a backyard. >> not required. >> and there say they can't use

the rear yard anyway in the activity without the conditional use authorization. >> so the earth question i saw the plan is the garage staying the garage so the restaurant is on the other side of the vacant. >> the garage is staying a garage. >> so the restaurant is not abutting the dr requesters property the mid building to the other side. >> a portion of the restaurant is touching the dr requesters property line and i guess again my second meeting here i've spent countless hours on the area that's a big issue there's noise ordinances but people go

through circles i want to head it off at the pass without issues we're 98 percent there i'm hearing from the dr requester they want sound like proofing it's a condition in the code and want good neighbor policy it's agreed it and they want i'm i missing. >> oh, the bone fide establishment. >> yes. there if there's a complaint in the future call mr. sanchez we're 98 percent there. a six months report >> that's reasonable. >> yes. >> i'm sorry, i shouldn't be entertaining we did one important pops bar and mr. commissioner antonini was his idea this is a reasonable request we can have an amicable
