3:30 am
weekday. with these conditions we are recommending this application for approval and i would also add that also in this case the applicant has concurred with these conditions. >> colleagues are there any questions? supervisor christensen. >> the roof top service of alcohol. is that a condition that existed when the club was in operation before? >> no. there was not roof top service that we're aware of and certainly not part of the previous license. that i can speak for sure too. >> i thought i remembered the location. so can we presume that any changes to the building or any expansion permits they have gotten have dealt with noise and light glare issues related to adjacent properties? >> i think what we can speak for sure it went through the planning department and approved to get to this point. the other thing i can tell you they think is relevant to your question
3:31 am
there was a 500-foot mailer that went out to all of the residents around the place and the business was posted for 30 days and we checked with the alcohol beverage control and they received no objection. >> so the neighbors are aware of this change in use at the facility? we presume? >> yes. >> thank you. >> and i should add that we -- my staff checked in with supervisor kim who is supportive of this recommendation and i wanted to acknowledge that the roof top deck the hours are not until 2:00 a.m. but midnight. >> correct. >> and i think that's a good condition. and i know that here we have ms. luna from lml enterprise if you would like to tell us about your business, and it's the old paradise lounge i i think. is that right? >> yes it is. good afternoon
3:32 am
everyone. yes it's the old paradise and also we are sound proofing the whole building. when i saw this property i was looking around for another night club and the prior owner of [inaudible] and bought it from cesars plaza and switched to what it is now and i took a break for a couple of years and i am ready to come back into the business. >> >> and since we have a roof top that would be great for the neighborhood since no one has a club and the roof top and sometimes we go out and have a nice dinner and don't want to drive because it's expensive or out of our way and here you have costco that is $10 for parking. you can dine up stairs and enjoy music on the first floor which
3:33 am
will be salsa and the second floor will be jazz and i will bring in events like i did in my previous establishment and hope that the people that enjoy the music will have dinner with us. we are closing early upstairs so we will not bother the neighbors and all have my contact information and can talk to me directly. i am hands on with all of my businesses and started in 1979 and went to the lineup and went to. [speaking spanish] and i am looking forward to opening up something and unique in san francisco which i don't think anybody has done. thank you for your time. >> thank you ms. luna. any questions colleagues? let's open this up for -- supervisor campos. >> thank you. i don't have any questions for ms. luna but i want to be acknowledge --
3:34 am
welcome back lee and thank you to the chief for sending you back to us. >> >> i think we can learn from your knowledge and expertise and in terms of this business owner i know this item is in district 6 and i am not surprised that supervisor kim is supporting it because those that know ms. luna know here to be very responsible member of the community very responsible business owner, and it certainly makes the job of a supervisor who has to take into account the kinds of issues that could arise with this kind of venue makes the job easier to have someone like her involved. she is i think a respected member of the community or anyone that knows her, so i am very excited to hear about this project, very innovative and i am sure if anyone can approach
3:35 am
it in a very responsible way that you can, so i am glad you're the one who is doing this. >> thank you. >> let's open this up for public comment. anyone from the public that would like to speak? seeing none. public comment is now closed. [gavel] is in a motion colleagues? >> so moved. move this item forward with a positive recommendation. >> without objection? thank you colleagues. >> thank you. >> thank you congratulations. mr. evans please call the next item. >> >> item 3 is transfer of a type 48 on-sale general public premises license on 635 8th street to 115 sansome street treasury r & b holdings, llc dba the treasury. >> lieutenant. >> before you is a type 48 license and will allow the sale of beer and wine and distilled
3:36 am
spirits and operated in the mission of san francisco and now creating a new location at the said location. i would point out there are no letters of protest. we're not aware of any letters of support. i would add it's in an area of high crime and area of undue concentration of licenses. we are recommending this for approval with the following conditions. condition number one the front door shall be kept closed at all times of operation of the premises except in cases of emergency and permit deliveries. said doors not to consist sole leave a screen or ventilating security door. number two, no noise should be audible under the control of the licensee as declined by the diagram. number 3. the sale of off sale

3:38 am
me ask if philip west is here from the treasurer or a rep. please come forward and we will ask supervisor christensen to weigh in on this as well because it's in district 3. >> good afternoon. hi. so this is my third business venture in san francisco. i'm the owner of range in the mission on valencia street. i'm also the owner of third rail which is in dog patch which is on 20 ethstreet off of third street, and in both of those cases i saw -- >> can you speak into the mic? >> in both of those cases i saw two spots that needed a little shine and love. 842 valencia was formerly another business. i took it over in 2004. it was a great place and fun. it had been let go a bit and we came
3:39 am
in and spent about a million dollars to basically improve the space, ada improvements, electrical, plumbing everything, pored new concrete, so we definitely went on valencia street in a time it's still rough around the edges. i remember the park next to us was nicknamed crack park or needle park and now instead of worrying who is out there now we hear the sound of children playing in the new playground there so we really feel we were at the forefront of changing that area on the street. same thing happened at thirderate on 20th street. it was more of a dive bar, had seen several owners over the course the last 10, 15 years. there's a fair amount of
3:40 am
illegal activity and music in the basement without permitting and we did the same thing. took about half million dollars and improved it with ada improvements, made it a beautiful bar and now this is more of a craft cocktail bar where people can relax and have a quiet drink, so we see the same kind of progression here with the treasury. not so in the sense that the space needs a whole lot of improving because it's a gorgeous space, but as mentioned earlier we want to provide something for the neighborhood that isn't there right now which is a very relaxed comfortable classy setting. we're not looking to open up a frat house bar if you want to call it that of that nature. we're looking to do a
3:41 am
classy place with great cocktails and more of a lounge atmosphere and when i walked into the space my breath was taken away a gorgeous space and it hasn't been utilized if i am correct for almost five years now. it used to be a haberdashy and we have been calling it the minifairy business and blue bottle is on the other side and a common area and see it as a special spot and great addition to the neighborhood. >> thank you. supervisor christensen. >> i have talked to my friends in dog patch. they're pretty happy hanging out at third rail. i think that we can look forward to great things on this stretch of sansome street. >> thank you very much.
3:42 am
>> let's open this up for public comment. seeing none. public comment is now closed. supervisor christensen. >> i move to send to the full board for approval. >> thank you. can we do this without objection? thank you. [gavel] . thank you. please call item four. >> item four is a hearing to consider the issuance of general theater license on 1127 market street for nancy livingston for the american conservatory theater doing business as the strend. >> lieutenant. >> this is a special license 64 general on sale general license and allow the playhouse to serve beer, wine and distilled spirits. i expect most are familiar with the american conservatory theater and they currently operate on market not far from this proposed location. it's a much smaller space and i apologize i
3:43 am
am trying to locate its name. well you know what? i thought it was in here. anyway they have a current location down the street and of course they have their main theater at four 13-4 15 geary street in union square. this new location will be an actual playhouse and as i stated if approved it will allow for on sale of beer wine and distilled spirits. again we have no record of protest regarding this application or no record of support and no calls for service currently. it's been closed and a blight to the corridor and in that regard this will be a huge
3:44 am
improvement. police reports were nuisance and not related to this application. the police department is recommending this application for approval with the following conditions. number one, sale service and consumption of beverages shall be made only from stationary bars or portable bars. waiter, waitress service and not sold or delivered to customers by individual ambulatory vendors. number two, the sale of alcohol beverages for consumption off premises is probabilitied. number 3, beverages shall be served in in containers distinguishable as alcohol containers. number 4, the sale shall be limited to no more than two beverages per person per sale and an employee or security guard shall be assigned the responsibility that all beverages are within the permitted area whenever the
3:45 am
privilege of the abc license is being exercised. with these conditions we are recommending this application for approval and again i would add that the applicant concurs with these conditions. >> thank you lieutenant. is nancy livingston, the chair of the act foundation here or her representative? >> her representative. my name is is jason seaver and the director of finance at american conservatory theater. nancy livingston couldn't be here today. she's the chair of our board of trustees so i actually brought a few pictures. this is the current -- this is our most recent rendering of the strand theater. i think most of you are aware of this project. we're excited about this new theater for us. we purchased this blighted theater about three years ago and under
3:46 am
construction for two years, and we're right around the corner from actually opening the theater so we're expected to open in may and our first show will be in june. what is going to be great about this theater will help activate the neighborhood and we will bring up to 50,000 people into the neighborhood to see the productions and have a 300 seat and 125 seat theater as well and a hub for the various education programs and our conservatory and masters in fine arts and young conservatory so we're excited about it and thank you for supporting this particular type 64 license. the other theater that is just two store fronts down from the strand theater is called the costume shop theater and that's a 49 seat theater and the hub recently of this great program called the community space sharing program where we were able to give the space to free
3:47 am
for smaller organizations and we've had -- we've given away about 800 hours last year of performance time which resulted in 78 performances in that area that were not act related so we're excited to continue this space sharing into the strand as well and bring all of our programs into the area. do you guys have any questions for me at all? >> i think it's exciting for arts of the city to have this great beautiful spot so it's been three years in the marking it sounds like. >> it has been. we always wanted a second home for act and because of the location it's a wonderful place to have theater and it's also on the transportation lines which we really appreciate for all of the various patrons. >> thank you mr. seaver. >> yes. thank you. >> and i checked in with district 6 supervisor jane kim who is supportive of this as well. colleagues can we open
3:48 am
this up for public comment? anyone from the public that would like to speak. public is closed. can we move it forward with a positive recommendation. >> yes. >> thank you. [gavel] . please call the next item. >> item 5 is for the edgewood center for children and families psychiatric facility and designation agreement and treatment facility and pursuant to section 5151 for youth ages five-17 and authorizing the director of behavioral health services to enter into a designation agreement with said facility. >> i intend to continue this item to the call of the chair but supervisor campos and i visited edgewood center and i thank supervisor christensen for the due diligence on checking in on the issues and i move that we continue this on the call of the chair. can we do that without objection? let's open it up
3:49 am
for public comment. is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? seeing none. public comment is now closed. [gavel] so can we move this to the call of the chair without objection? thank you. [gavel] colleagues we have one other item but it's been agendized for 4:00 o'clock so i would like to just announce that the youth commission asked us to hold this hearing so they can maximize the amount of young people that will be let out of school soon so the time is 234 and recess the meeting and resume at 4:00 p.m.. thank you. [g
3:52 am
>> [gavel] >> the meeting will resume. this is the public safety and neighborhood services committee of the san francisco board of supervisors. i am rickric the chair of the committee. to my left is julie christensen and we're expecting our vice chair david campos very soon. mr. evans can you call the next item. >> item 6 is a resolution recognizing the inauguration of
3:53 am
the san francisco children's outdoor bill of rights of the resolution on october 18, 2014. >> thank you. the sponsor is mr. mark farrell and from his office is catherine stephanie. >> good afternoon. i am appearing on on behalf of supervisor farrell today. this was brought to our attention by the presidio trust who is here today and they were going to celebrate the inauguration of the san francisco children's outdoor bill of rights back in october in 2014. this resolution had been endorsed by the san francisco parks and rec commission and in 2007 the state of california adopted the nation's first state wide childrens' outdoor bill of rights to acknowledge the importance of nature to a child's physical and emotional
3:54 am
well being. the presidio trust asked if supervisor farrell if he would put the same resolution in front of the board of supervisors it to recognize the initiative to promote these outdoor experiences listed for all san francisco children and commem rat this in october. this was a no brainer for supervisor farrell. as you know supervisor farrell is a former park director and is raising his kids here and understands that the children should be introduced to these areas and playing in the mud and sand and discovering wildlife and riding a bike among other things. the reason this is before you today it was originally on the adoption without reference to calendar but it was asked to refer it so
3:55 am
the committee could hear it and we're glad they did that. i appeared before the youth commission twice and i was blown away by their analysis, their thoughtful questions and the way they looked at this resolution for us it's a no brainer. of course every child has a right to these experiences listed in the resolution and what i liked about what we heard in the youth commission is that what are we going to do about it? it's easy to pass a resolution but where does the real work begin? so what we realized is that the real work comes together -- i mean comes by everyone works together, asking how we make it happen how we pool department resources to make sure all of the children get to connect with nature and develop to their fullest potential, how we work with the youth leaders to enjoy the experiences in the
3:56 am
resolution and how do we communicate to them in the city and county of san francisco and the things available to them? this of course is a larger conversation we're committed to. our office is committed work with the youth leaders and department heads and mark is comimentded to this as we go into the budget season as how can we set forth the priorities in the resolution and i urgure your department and i would like to turn on over to a representative from the presidio trust. >> thank you. >> good afternoon commissioners. i want to give a shout out to the youth in the house and great to have you here today. just one more step in making some history in san francisco a kind of revival of what childhood used to be like in the city what we love so much and we're raising children in so i will give an overview today.
3:57 am
i want to call out charlotte hill and nonprofit connecting kids to parks and zoey that works for the youth stewardship program and connects youth with the natural heritage so the back story here -- i probably don't need this slide but the benefits. physical well being, less stress, intra and interpersonal skills development, increased cognitive functioning and increased sense of connection with nature -- >> we're waiting for the slides to appear on the screen but please continue. >> great. of course a development of a environment ethic rooted in place. you don't need a ph.d in child development to know intuitively these are quality parts of any childhood in the world so that brings us into the bigger
3:58 am
picture. we're increasingly an urban species as of 2007. most human beings live in urban environments and i assume it includes everyone here in this chamber today and increasingly urban world means a more built landscapes that childhoods are being experienced in. a second major factor is the decreasing of outdoor time, and there are many reasons for that. one is increased technology. one is concerns about safety. so as a result of this over the past decade there have been numerous calls to action from the white house to local organizations like outdoor afro and one of those resulted in an initiative that catherine referred to, the california childrens' outdoor bill of rights which was the first of its kind in the united
3:59 am
states, and since then roughly half of the states have created their own crustom tailored version of an outdoor bill of rights that is relevant to the children growing up within their respective state scpils add that several cities created their own version, chicago and lansing michigan so four years ago there was a interdiscipline group of pediatricians, parents and park staff, urban ag folks that came together to bring that national and international conversation to the local level. what does it mean for the seven by seven of san francisco and for kids growing up in the urban environment of san francisco? so one main initiative that resulted from this collaborative is what we're discussing today. the slide they have up here is a survey that was in spanish,
4:00 am
chinese and english that went out broadly into classrooms, into communities. this is a group of second graders at lawton elementary crunching the numbers from their particular survey. these are middle school students taking it in an after school program and it also brought us to city hall many times over the last year, to the rec and park commission, two blocks from here to the san francisco unified school district board, and i have to say there wasn't a whole lot of arm twisting here. people were genuinely very, very supportive of this new charter, new commitment to childhood in the city, so these are many -- most of the current family of endorsers. you will recognize i would imagine most of the logos on there. these agencies and
