12:13 pm
a city attorney and everybody involves this is allows us to do what we've been doing to insure that people can pay like the nonprofits and neighborhood groups have a way to have fees waved and the second thing we're doing is trying to you gupgrade notification requirement put in in 2009 requiring issues the mixed use vacadistrict and leavt the language the code was pretty much like best efforts not strong and not very up to date we basically mirrored what the planning department does with the 312 notification we're giving the option to the applicants that have outreach to neighbors and this is in
12:14 pm
addition to the outreach policy that you guys also enforced in this hearing and so that's that and hopefully this is not going to be a problem for anyone that is more and better outreach and the last thing is a change in the 9 month window you guys are familiar what you achieve a continental grant for the product you get 9 months according to code you've seen many times where you know due to construction delays or some kind of black hole bureaucracy or funding that simon's someone comes to us and that footstep a lot longer than 9 months we need a way for the commission to allow an extension for that because otherwise the consequence for a large project
12:15 pm
starts all over again. >> i have a quick question this is introduced to the board. >> yes. >> what happens does it go to committee. >> it sits for another 20 days this is a thirty day wait and on to committee yeah. >> and ludicrously. >> what committee. >> i think that is land use. >> uh-huh then what. >> for the board and i don't expect it to be of substance boutique changes. >> thanks. >> just a question about the mirror of the 312 is many then mailed out by the applicant or by the entertainment commission and the applicant. >> they have to get the list if the us or planning. >> uh-huh. >> or a list then. >> great. >> right. >> okay thank you. >> then my another questions. >> that's that one the only other one to yubt a copy of the
12:16 pm
agenda has a fabulous for the 10 b legislation which is the code word for this administrative code chapping introduced off god years the making from supervisor campos office and of him to hearing last week and so at committee nothing but positive it is almost no input by the police they've seen and read it and given comments and representative from the police department indicated to the community inform issues or comments their fine with that and it is basically creating a much more like obviously system for the application of the p10 fornix special event timeframe for the folks who want 10 b and for the police officer t to have
12:17 pm
an appeal issue and not necessarily agree with what the outcomes are and kaejz this dependent on in terms of reporting we live in theory starting when the legislation gets signed begin to get how much the 10 b was assigned i'm not sure how to implement it is the police department change not us we will be the loop according to the legislation in terms of what happens after so i thought that was interesting i think that is call the roll certainly the outreach the discussions we had literally years ago that will improve things and lastly the new position that is no longer new but still not filled is moving forward we have 24 applications during the posting period there being
12:18 pm
vetted. >> 24 they're beiir been vetted throu personnel preys and test that meets the minimum qualifications and you know there we're psyc psychosome supplemental questions and scheduling interviews liend of the march i you cross your fingers tightly behind our back hiring is a long process but that this will be the last hire i do as well and it will be a good one. >> so i don't have by corrective action 0 i'm going to turn it over to jordan if you have any questions. >> commissioner lee. >> how is shawn doing. >> shawn is gfine and he is record to work as of this date

12:20 pm
problems but nevertheless, a complaint. >> same gay guy. >> same guy the owner responded because the complainant attached the owner to the communication or whatever the owner responded with his her and a i passed by that looked like not a lot going on improvements the venue and another complaint i'm reporting it so we got a complanth oh, my gosh on the 6 of february friday night into saturday morning it was in regards to there's been a lot of complaint on the the last few months i responded immediately to the complaint i pulled up to the back of the genui venue that is what the complainant lives no sound escaping the venue he lives in a
12:21 pm
building that adjoins the venue but nevertheless, i didn't perceive a violation and litigation on the building not up to code it seems like it was fine i had a walk through the night before they were in complains bcompliance but nevertheless, did a bunch of inspectors the most notable are the playboy party abused they had a lot of - like a tent at the time set up and booming speakers so 3 blocks away you could hear a base that's serious so i don't think that is an issue going forward the director talked about that the legislation came through and changed a lot of the development but nevertheless, that was
12:22 pm
probably the most serious of any of the cases we saw this past super bowl event weekend did a walk through it was fine they were look a little bit lou an issue for the rest of the weekend but fusion lounge had an influx of people a line that wrapped up the block i've not seen it like that but no issues were recorded but i've yet to talk to the general manager about it we'll trying to get to the bottom of that and see if this is a trend or something as far as the promotion public utility did a couple of sound tests last friday pretty uneventful a limit of it they know to talk to the
12:23 pm
management go pretty much the only establishment that complained they deal with them and dealt with them already you know made changes to they're building or whatever they've done stuff not to get complaint from the hotel across the street i did a sound test at aaron peskin at&t park there was not a base heavy kind of situation no complaint about that particular events any i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> self-assures the tunnel top the same guy. >> yes. >> over and over didn't want that place there any way to just - >> i at this point it would be 100 percent speculation on my part but given what i've seen maybe something personal i don't
12:24 pm
want to you know. >> the playboy participaes wa parking lot it was extreme sound escaping but are they planning any more parties there. >> not that i'm aware of i don't think so. >> super bowl weekends. >> another mesna across the street is a hotel. >> yes. >> driving e driving counsel that additional they put cones on the street or whatever and don't have a legal white zone as far as i know on jessie did you notice the cones from the street a . >> at the hotel. >> white zone is our mission not on jessie as far as i, it will tell i wasn't looking for cones i was pay attention to the side of the street at the venue i mean, i see they use it
12:25 pm
street. >> you said the hotel was complaining about noise they had gotten complaint the venue dealt with them and the venue abodid an abatement work the ceiling to limit the complainants and it wasn't many but mentioned to me so i was paying attention. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner frost. >> and the guy on the tunnel top lives in a residential building ovther windows face tht corner we don't get any complainants. >> probable the people that live in that building and mofor more building to the immediate west of the tunnel top and across the street i mean there is a lot of units in that area and we never get complaints from anything else and on mission you're telling me that
12:26 pm
there is a shared wall. >> there is. >> to the one guy or other residents. >> that one. >> one unit. >> and i've been in there we did the sounds like tests their expensive i knextensive i know wh when they're loud at the super bowl event inside vethey have a door like the supervisor tang area their alcohol and people are out there that don't opens and shuts maybe some of the sound was escaping during you know times but really i mean, it was quiet outside i mean again, if at their limit i can clearly hear at the limit the neighbors agree that was okay. i could clearly hear the sound outside and we aheard nothing not a lou night commissioner lee there was nothing not a peep
12:27 pm
again i don't think the neighborhoods are totally making it up but again, it's not a compliance issue. >> do we know how many complaint we got from all the parties and events of super bowl efforts. >> a good question. >> there was normally couldn't are more than 10 like total which is not terrible and a couple were out at the playboy party error anger people because of at&t park that we got directly i'm not sure we checked in with 9-1-1 we haven't received any we get 311 and check that ourselves but certainly with the at&t we'll check things might have council so we get a good sense people
12:28 pm
railroad ready so that speaks in preparation. >> and you think you got some complaint from the playboy and from the metalica. >> there were one or two people not happy with the noise. >> spiral. >> oh, the concert and excelsi commissioner mccray right 5 of those were other specific club related complainants at all. >> not bad. >> you know some people may not like alicia keys. >> how dare they. >> or the republic or all the people for concert ticket. >> the issue of spiral was those where earlier.
12:29 pm
>> they were very early. >> alicia keys were late they ended at 10 no complaint that i know of from fireworks and maybe train people that don't tells you it's not our issue it is pretty - i don't know relatively speaking light or heavy but mana manageable. >> you're right the residents where a were lent to they were ready for the new thing knew a, week or too long and live with that, i heard the fictitious i thought my next door neighbor was in that but again, i think that the residents were like super bowl it's great we'll live with that. >> i think people complapined bye about traffic and transportation and everything commissioner perez. >> how about valentine's day
12:30 pm
weekend i think not normally a big event and any complaint or incidents. >> short answer no again. >> long answer nope not that i saw (laughter) one final question about the at&t parking lot do we have jurisdiction over permitting that. >> we do give amplified sound for things that hoappen like cirque de soleil it requires a certain amount of yes and no but, yes it is rented and the land is the giants. >> right. >> they say there's a party happening there is probably a party happening and got it i mean, did you - didn't sound like you made adjustment to the sound or endorsing. >> i think the general
12:31 pm
consensus was supervise weekend that will be over and pretty much because of the ineffectiveness of sound they turned it off i didn't want to be the guy no, no we didn't - make them 345ik and adjustment but let them know about the issues. >> right. right >> okay. that it brings up a point the sense that regular loudspeaker the tent might be good and their sound system is huge. >> you can't contain sound in a tents they're made of vinyl or clothes at&t's and they are tied together and not possible. >> they'll have to turn it off it is as simple as that
12:32 pm
