fleeting discussion of the 2016 summit submit we are considering dates right now in the latter end of the year if you're new to the commission we do an annual submit for permit holder and folks interested in the this taken place comments sometime in octoberish at this point and i would love you guys not this minute but look at our fall skerldz so see what might work and through by e-mail at me ideas for this go tops we've done many things the last year included more of the residents development work as well as a presentation from the new york city on sexual assault prevention and some kind of highlight of new information we

look forward to as around where we are in terms of the residential development to this point and maybe legacy businesses you know some think about that and send an e-mail that would be great we had a fairly extensive meeting with folks if the controller's office on a one-stop shop permit center called i didn't hand this out because it is a lot of information the controller's office is working towards creating a new city offers gown at where the goodwill site of development is at 15 hundred mythical observing a long time before that will be built but the plans are in play and there's a vision for

one-stop shop permit that listed 99 and so what i mean not online but literally a one-stop shop permit center that excludes ever needs for 6 plays of building permit construction permits through business operations and possible special events and cashiers and for the purposes of having everyone in one place so we are invited reluctance to be part of task force because we do what is considered like a business operation kind of permit and then observing we're involved with special events permitting as well so we are i'll keep the commission apprised we're interested in that sort of hold the special event aspect for

some time because those other you know issues are tougher to tackle with and the intention to move planning to this location as well the whole operation so in addition because there is very big huge building so all the offices will be in one place a big project i'll keep the commission up to date and i'll answer questions i'm able to answer i have a little bit of information blue pretty early on here i'll give you this for the visuals. >> so that's that and i handed out this sort of 3 pageers the 116 online information it is not the most

gorgeous but basically a it screen shot, if you will, of what the link on our website relative to the disclosures that are required via chapter one 16 for anything obviously getting built this took a long time we didn't have to pay for this i'm proud of that every person that moves into one building win three hundred feet has to sign a disclosures and the people that are renting and selling it have to give them the disclosures and sign an affidavit a lot of in and out we needed a way for twenty-four hours so this stuff to happen any time we created a form we vetoed it to the city

attorney there the language and in a week or two to have those folks from that landlord side take into account this so it is intuitive enough for people to use it a little bit anyone done but this will end up with the back end basically like a spreadsheet that is searchable if we get a complaint we'll search before i address or name or figure out if someone didn't get this notice there is enforcement actions so 9 back end is a database that is the most important thing for me has this guarantee goes from year to year it when build up hefty but this will like spin-off if our website and i'll get more input

as we go my sense we don't know if it works great or if it is work but i think it is fairly simple there's that you've already introduced the commission that was my intention but i beat me to it welcome commission thomas and as far as corrective actions we'll discuss that i'm going to turn it over to shawn. >> thank you director cain good evening commissioners just a few items to note you may or may not noticed that 3 different entries on any notes have the same address my eagles a little bit of cut-and-paste is incorrect the first listing the

3 m has a proper address and but all 3 of these know they're in the mission i think the most important item on the list the regular detergentcy ball regime we've gotten complaints for the first time from the east to complex across sutter street if the regular gunmency upon the first listings i assume due to the cultivation of the smaller place under the ball park we've got heavy base coming from the main room at the regular gunmency so we'

two i think we should get resolution this mr. have upgrades and ballroom and market across the street one has the ongoing i'm working with sfpd and public health to try to get to a permanent stop people playing on the street an electrical out let and serving many neighbors i issued a citation for violations of good neighbor policy to 7 and 8 to the cafe and that was after text and phone warnings and conversation all warnings i plan on having a meeting with the

staff in a couple of weeks. >> and everything else pretty run-of-the-mill if you have any questions. >> question quick question. >> yes, sir. >> there was 3 same address; right? >> right. >> he just corrected that. >> oh. >> yeah. that's a. >> you got to listen. >> i can only do one thing at a time. >> it's on other. >> oh. >> yeah. but those are around pretty close to that - >> area are they the same people complaining. >> no one is sort of on on and off kind of thing people complained

some are charging a cover i have not seen it. >> a question on the break. >> so are those guys outside and oh, we want them to - them to stop having access to the contribute. >> that's a development yeah. >> we want commission the help of the sfpd for the street performer to move along because the residents above the restaurant are very, very bothered and it is very late into the night we're not talking about 9 or technology but two or three in the morning that's what we really want this is very challenging obviously the first thing we can do is go after the amount indication and the othpl

part. >> inspector pauley. >> several items to report to you about new complaint and 84 the noise complaint from the hotel next to the campus hotel issues around noisy smokers and just planners conjugating the additional i did notice two large groups won their line is really busy and the smoking section which is which when i was there formed a across the additional is narrow alley i mentioned i was

concerned about that to the head of security at that time, i went by there and did an inspection i was by this weekend but asked about a party i haven't heard any compliments i didn't make a big deal but nevertheless, we received a complaint it was forwarded to us from officer my hat's off i'll go by thursday and take time to see if we can't solve it and a similar with barbara rosa loufrng i went by new year's i didn't know if it was the same operator when i talked to the operator the week after the first week of january they said they are were not doing a lot of entertainment they were going to do a lounge

situation that changed they have been doing entertainment and a neighbor on the other side of the brick wall getting a lot of noise complaint i haven't had an opportunity to talk with the management again since i got the complaint i want to first go to the residential unit and probably happen this weekend and emigrate on idea before i do anything and we'll go from there so pending this weekend his night club another containment from sfpd from officer mathis - it's a

reoccurring issue they'll have to need to get under control so i'll be by there this weekend to talk about it and move towards a resolution a couple of compliance first off 125 mission street i talked about with the management about the complaint and, of course, i mentioned the last couple of hearings i've been by and a lot of the containment railroad overexaggerated but i got on e-mail from the complainant that shares the wall with the venue and he had a video of a sound test he took they were exceeding their rating or whatever exceeding the codes he forget which code but nevertheless, i talked with management and went by there with commission lee we

saw there they were keeping the side door open to a room where the wall is they shared nevertheless, they need to keep the door shut and go from there if they can solve it themselves but director cain talked about that another issue with irish pub i was able to track down the owner with the help of sfpd i called the owner and talked about the issues he's having he explained to me as far as keeping things picked up and people have been drinking i recommended to him was you know shoe the people towards montgomery and washington there is less

residential down there as opposed to 120 beyond a shadow of a doubt up the street a good place for ubers and taxis to pick up they're basically empty on washington street during that time of night so it looked fine no complaint and fusion lounges a couple of things i've seen super bowl weekend where they had you know probably over booked parties it was an issue i meant to talk with management about but they fired the manager that was under and hired somebody new so i forget traifz last name but the manager of magical a capable manager i think those issues are fine for now i'll follow-up and go from there and holly cows it was one

street over super bowl weekend the issues was resolved it was a busy party i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> i have one question does love in propaganda do they have a migrant occupancy or limit in the smoking section how many people can be out there an would the time. >> i don't think so. >> how many people were there. >> probably around 20, 25. >> and that narrow alley they can certainly impose is it a barricade or smoking section. >> the smoking section is not barricade. >> maybe they should do that and maximum occupancy. >> honestly, i feel they can move people down the street and get them out of the alley altogether not that further of a

walk around the corner and retail there i feel like. >> under a hundred feet from the door. >> it is approaching one hundred feet. >> a common area out of their control. >> they feel or otherwise well-behaved it is a lot of women hanging out there. >> okay. thank you. >> but the guy is having his own equipment and sound test and . >> i was explaining i've been by and not found compliance it will be hard to keep on coming but when you request so he should you know definitely at least have something to show me it is hard to go on his word to for compliance issues we bought one meter that is code compliant and

taking video and taken sound test so it is hard to august if there were a couple of negligence that were loud so - >> does we have a phone number because they leave the door open or - >> they have other issues going on between the venue and like the neighborhood or the building owner some other stuff go on and so i try not to get two deep into that i try to enforce whatever you know the issues i tried to solve that with that said, they talked but you know bodies feel like the other side is unremarkable so it is pretty well contentious issue. >> when i went to the backroom it is pretty dense and the

backdoor is open when you get closer to the door your ear - then when he went to the back alley so we can only do what we can do. >> the sound test was clear as they keep the side door shut is it so fine but the particular time it was busy and they were not paying attention at all the door was open so i think the change of management you know some issues there but i talked like i said, i talked to the owner and give me the managers number i'll talk to the him or probably talk to the manager anyway. >> do you if this guy's sound is calibrated.

>> i'll not take that and write a citation but you know it is not likes threshold loud clearly louder way louder. >> the one thing i didn't say keep this door closes signage. >> they prop it on the other hand, open to get supplies out to and forget to shut it. >> probably something around the the bar areas i'll talk to him about that and on the hue is that the alley the condo from the back of the alley. >> so using that side door for smoking. >> they didn't have issues with the atmosphere they had people in front smoking and not many on the side by the way, the

sidewalks. >> i remember there was fights they stopped that. >> the previous owner were getting complaints because of the door and that's why they went to the front. >> the owner is the same owner he was the same owner. >> i mean with zebra lounge was there. >> i suggest i think officer migrating and a he has more knowing any more questions for the sound inspections any public comment on the director's report there seeing none, public comment is closed item number 4. >> police department questions or comments. >> hello officer migratiathis

and propaganda is they're new name but the same issues they do the remodel for the propaganda and they're getting the complaints in the hotel i contacted looking at inspector pauleys ideas as far as to reduce the noise i think we're on the same page i'm going to briefing read a quick e-mail i soent to the manager at vessel danny i've been cracked by the hotel about the noise from the establishment it appears the same issues are coming back you're from the alley and the smoking is creating a noise issue as a result, the hotel will discount rooms because of

these disturbed and upset guests the hotel is getting bad reviews and this is the hotel industry effective immediately please have the guests off mission street i don't want our patrons to congregate the street but guide our patrons to stockton street that are for the security issues and motivating the patrons to go to stockton street and relieve the alley i think if we move them up to strongly street get rid of of the noise and the crowds 25 people 1340ik underneath the windows of hotel or the street which is the at closing time and trying to get phone numbers warrior where they'll go next creates a big

problem you have the hotel right there paying top dollars whether or not they are paying top dollars they're staying in san francisco and for them to be disturbed is not acceptable we want them to follow the good neighbor policy and not abort the neighbors the hotel should not think losing money with prior conversations with the general manager she said they refunded tens of thousands of dollars i think what i'd like to do so if this works and come up with anything that the commission can recommend just to tweak this so they can operate and not disturb the patrons. >> my only concern about that is more it could be more than a hundred feet from the door and under the good neighbor policy all we're responsible to say one

hundred feet and so, i mean unless they were willing to sign on and - i don't know how to solve that problem maybe something the staff should ask the city attorney about can they sign something to be willing to do one and 50 feet or more once they send them away beyond one hundred feet they're not responsible for them anymore. >> we have the problem every weekend inside the hundred feet every single weekend if we get them to thin out and they'll keep on going get to stockton street there is car traffic you'll not have the noise that goes into the walls it will be

in front of the hotel a much bigger street. >> have you gotten response to our e-mail. >> not yet i put it out there today. >> i wonder what was said. >> background family extensive conversations and meetings with the hotel and the operators of the love and propaganda about this problem this is guilty or not guilty for years not new and just to say we're shut down and then reopted it x baited the problem they knew that was especially frustrating for me so this is now again, the same issue it was k3e79d it was anticipated, and yet no change and we went down the road of discussing what the hotel can do inside the rooms in particular

that are effected what can the club do assisting the hotel address nothing has changed now i'm beyond mad just so you know. >> is this a non-smoking venue. >> i'll ask the attorney. >> about the hundred feet. >> the point is nothing changed and now we're at square one again, it is not pretty. >> the owner of the club they said to can go beyond their own; right? >> we're not requiring them to. >> that would be great if they sent us something inform e-mail we're willing to proposal beyond the hundred feet. >> i have a question as far as that goes i don't know the boundary line but from the exterior of that building is part of club goes in closer to that your hundred foot line will

be extended towards stockton street yes on the entrance that door over one hundred feet but the building line. >> for the question for the city attorney i don't know i'm not a lawyer but - >> point of clarity it is less than one hundred feet about 50 feet. >> is it that's fine. >> i was trying to picture it in my head and so - >> keep going. >> the second one the noise issue that was previous atmosphere and this was an e-mail i sent off today, i recently received a series of noise complaint and i'm from the board of supervisors your neighbors have exclaimed about noise emitting from our club the noise issues are x baited by the smoking in the alley one of the neighbors said your music is too

loud when those alley doors are open your 3 unit building is pounded with noise and on thursday i asked him to keep the doors closed and when the but the owner refused to speak with me and the security staff did nothing i want you to downloading do you believe your effort to remove the barriers and your neighbors have exclaimed of the noise the alley after the business is closed and please be in compliance with the northern california and lastly midnight shift sergeant had to respond to the area in front of our venue because of drunk people getting into fight i'll caution you as far as the owners to check the thinking intoxicated individual and keep the sidewalks clear.

>> so a question so that side alley was not useful it is was the front in their not complaining then awning that's an issue and thought that would be less problems if they could put it the alleyway but it has caused problems we're quickly getting oversee complaints too it is not accounting we'll not - to core edge off it is not your property it is hard. >> commissioners any other questions all right. >> next item on the agenda

hearing and possible action for existing permits under the jurisdiction of the entertainment commission. >> item number a paul and deanna doing business as the seller of 85 sutter street. >> commission we had this only a previous agenda we were requested by the police and the operators to push this in today so we're discussing this i want to be clear on since an incident it took place flo i don't know now, maybe late january i think this was it had serious consequences and end in someone's death the club has been closed it was on one more

time during the weekend and was shut the two people who are listed on the agenda are no longer involved in the business the third partner the business owns the lease to business the longer lease his name a steve good idea man operated the venue before the two folks came into the picture and again, he is the lease holder he remains he has been working with us and the police department abc liaison unit as well as central station to sort of decide where to go from here he sent on e-mail last thursday to the

office basically temporarily surrendering his entertainment permit for the location on sutter street indicating that to those two people are not involved the business and he would agree to because he didn't know now yet what he'll do with respect to the location we told you the central station but trying to come up with a business model and other partners or you know an entirely whatever scenario he agreed that before he want reactuate or give the treatment permit he'll come before the commission and present the new form and whomever is involved and the police department is in concert

with that so i expect this will take a few months if not longer there maybe pending abc action not really sure i know that director or sergeant. >> lieutenant sorry he's out of town so if i want to follow up on that we'll have to wait until he gets back. >> bottom line with respect to the safety concerns and the police and the neighbors this location is out of operation and my extension that it will not come back into operation until it comes before this body. >> it sounded like a great plan we'll hear from folks - officer mathis. >> yes. we're doing this together in concert just for technical so the technical purposes of what is on the

agenda together you know they'll be - i'll ask you to make a motion to have that motion and if you have my questions i'll ask that we've moved and passed the negative actions and the folks that operated are gone so we look forward and talk about what you might consider and maybe the officers will ask you to consider what partitioned may work better at that location. >> okay steve we've meet with the are entertainment staff as well as mr. good idea man and central station are our public safety concerns the license has been turned in and central station are satisfied with that

and look forward to working with mr. good idea mman i'll ask is last places the seller didn't work i'm not going to rehash all the things that happened but look forward to working at the business plan and have it vetted by everyone on the commission. >> thank you. >> questions for officer mathis. >> they turned in their license what do they do to get it back. >> the abc separate from a different violations that apart it is the abc office and upon them going to the abc office it will be automatically restated

not suspended. >> it's surrendered called a temporary surrendered up to i don't know it used to be like thirty days i don't know how long it is now kind of put it on the shelf and wait until he's ready you have to operate at least one day a month i believe and if you can't if you're remodeling or a fire or something you have the option it is a piece of real property it is an option of surrounding that license for a period of time and then renew that surrender once or twice something like that. >> yeah. this license has been surrendered and the entertainment permit was turned if and the agreement with the entertainment commission and staff and mr. goodman was that there will be discussion with the commission as far as what kind of plans they were having

brother it was reinstated and. >> he can't open the door and just be a bar he's closed unless he wants to open up as a sign shop or something. >> anybody else. >> i guess i have questions in terms of - what types of actions have the entertainment commission requested in the past in similar situations what are the types of can any conditions in a legal sense by what types of determine have you asked of people in these situations. >> i think this situation is just for a second this situation is not something we can ask for conditions on the permits have surrounded so

this is going forward comes to us with a plan and . >> not if you typically this is what i'm describing is the best case scenario i think when we have you know problems that capacity to a point we don't take that we reconditioned this particular permit many times

this is the back story so this just came to a head the worst way possibly something that was unfortunate and though the operators or one of the operators responsible of all of them decided to do what sounds like dramatic and substantial like you know a burden financing, of course, but to start over so normally you might have conversations around hours and security the regular kind of issues alu you're trying to permit it is in this case not necessary we'll might come back with a permanent application or not depends on what the direction you know the operator decides to go in in the meanwhile we feel very confident the neighborhood that nothing

bad can happen nothing can. >> so the permit is not revoked it is not suspended it is surrendered he voluntarily surrendered it we haven't take action does make sense. >> any other questions thank you. >> you want to hear. >> i'd like to hear from the owner if he's here and get his feedback. >> okay. >> sure come on up i don't know what he'll tell you the officer said he hadn't got a plan it is just closed mr. goodman you're up. >> thank you after the incident that occurred i voluntarily the next week we opposed one night the abc came

in and some issues next morning i voluntarily shut down and a few days later i surrounded the abc license and certainly want to run a business or have a partner that is cropping with the public authorities roadway i'm pursuing every option selling the business to a responsible party or partnering with someone reopenly it myself i intend on keeping it closed until i determine the best way to move forward i've had a 25 year lease on the space that is important to me that we bring in a business that will be there for quite sometime. >> so the other partners you had after all this was sorrowed

severed the other partner is out. >> something a 25 year lease is a long time i'm confused. >> i didn't have gray hair when i started. >> i was going to say. >> do you have anything future in the relevant. >> i will hear from him and i am available if you want to meet. >> we got calls from the academy and stories your neighbors probably looking forward to something new. >> they are and i've working closely with the academy the past as well i'm a very good i have good relationships with the help and others clubs. >> so fine. >> any other questions thank

you, mr. good idea machine a man. >> this is not an action item; is that correct. >> it is listed as an action item yeah. it say is an action item i think the action i would ask the commission is to make a motion i guess you know to accept the temporary surrender. >> can we taken a motion to accept the - >> this is hard to word make a motion to accept the surrender and give the mr. president, the permit holder as much time and necessary and when he's prepared with a new plan to come back to the commission for recultivation of this permit how so that sound

yeah can something missouri. >> so moved. >> great so moved. >> second. >> there is a motion and a second any furthers discussion? public comment call the roll. >> commissioner frost commissioner lee commission thomas commissioner caminong commissioner joseph. >> thank you very much good luck to you moving on item number 6 hearing and possible action for applications for permit under the jurisdiction of this commission item a >> oh, where am i i have not done this in so long maggie unfortunately had to attend to family issues so i think i can handle it. >> back again. >> this is an application for extend hours for pizza located
