to update the commission on a couple pieces of legislation your the agenda says to file numbers clean up items i've talked about for a few meetings and in land use committee there was some southern over one part of 3 different parts of the legislation that was george being worked on those just to remind you are the creation of a waveer for loudspeaker permits we've been doing for a very long time a waiver process in the office not codified we needed to make sure we had a way to do this so that was in the legislation as clean up there was additional timeframe

for people for an altered grant not able to chief 3 that has been extended you know for two conventional periods for just cause and we have tried to make changes and supervisor peskin has additional kwerpz able to basically keep the file and turn it into two that's issue of notice to go to lulled to manage it without keep the other pieces from going forward so you see the today, i building was second reading on the waiver and the extension piece those are on their way to the mayor's for approval we don't have a date on the discussion of revision of notice but in the meantime,

we'll notice so we'll find a place sooner than later and keep you awe braftdz that's done deal i want to let the commission know is a request by supervisor farrell to call for a hearing rewarding the environmental impact of land use and transportation recession it has a purpose for the supervisor with respect to those conversation that the board has around housing quite a bit of and also jobs and so when i read that he was reader in that as you may know our conversation continue to go back to lulled what you're talking about entertainment so we know that

the value of the entertainment so i is counted we know every time that housing gets put somehow and rezoning we lose the entertainment right we have i called the supervisors office and asked if he could be a part of the find analysis and make sure that the economic impact of lulled as it represents to entertainment was take a look at as well but the entertainment use generates jobs with all specimens of the education barriers to entry in terms of entertainment business are quite low and you can work your way up to owning a business i think if you were how without a lot of education those are the jobs we're all tdr in keeping in san

francisco so the controller's office there's a lot more work to do so you won't see things happen but i don't know where it about end up but don't want to lose the opportunity if you're interested on our own this file number you can track if and when thai action it ends up at a hearing at some point and we'll be engaged so there's that. >> under the heading of staff and office update very long arduous process for it comes to an end there are 5 candidates who have glutton the testing and are scheduled to or getting scheduled to be interviewed on may 25th so hopefully not long after that we will you seek the

commitment and hire that person i'm thinking of mid june of any, no, sir, of any job they'll need and hit the ground running with the fair season right now so we know that there work around the 10 b legislation around that passed last year and lots of things regarding escot with things so picture i'm excited for that and when that person comes on board we will have to make more room. >> no room i'll have to get an extension. >> we'll squeeze someone in. >> join the club here. >> okay. he think that's it for me no corrective actions. >> i have a question just curious between the jobs and the

housing which did they find more important. >> they didn't found out anything they started this analysis so no okay yet and my other question could you remind me about the legislation with regards to notice. >> so the section we were trying to manipulate was related to - it was in determination which is 1050.5 talked about the notice of the mixed residential articles 7 and 8 of the planning code it looks like it is all places in san francisco permitting and there's a somewhat in my opinion old fashion leaf letting requirement one and 50 feet around we were trying to just want the in

addition to the building using electronic means and without gouge so far down the road to do what 312 requires the planning department has an expensive related to it i know that commission may not or in the past hadn't wanted so again, a half hour. >> the 312 mission costs $322,000 to do. >> no, i don't know we're in the midst of the conversation. >> anyone else any questions for jocelyn. >> okay. next up. >> inspector burke. >> good evening, commissioners sharon burke here a few notes a new complaint for

the fires house off of polk street in any experience run as an art gallery we're hearing as a cafe and on occasion other space so inspection pauley and i are in the midst of switching district and we'll be going out on inspections we had a new operator took over 25 norega with the underground grill it's called i went out to do on inspection a couple weeks ago and theirs in the process of establishing kayak and in touch with staff in the office in the chambers work on a

complaint also over the last couple of years actually not starting the outdoor events season i'm in touch with the complainant and will visit his site it is difficult to contain the sound within their property line but see what we can do and mediate and come to an agreement as far as timing and loudness i think i brought up the situation to last hearing we have an empty dwelling next door to 2631st street and the realtors and builds are lodged a complaint against them i've gone out to take exterior and interior measurements to establish what that place sounds like at resting and this

weekends they have an event and impair and bring back information we are a fair according to what i saw and sfpd told me went off without and hitch some stages were louder than others and one of the main stages seemed to be with dealing with lower frequencies we asked them to tune down and on howard at the base of the a residential building we have to tuned down as well and after the reduction of sound they were in compliance so all in you'll a couple of smooth weeks if i can answer any questions. >> i have a couple of just curious on the chambers is it at all building at the corner of eddy and possible.

>> it is absolutely is 7 floors up. >> and you've been dealing with this for how long. >> there's been i think first heard of him first summer i came on aboard this is the first time he is willing to talk about an sovereigty visit. >> we've been dealing with him since this commission is in essence and the other thick you said developers were talking about the noise. >> so i've heard in a builder the builder was the first person to reach out to me put me in touch with the realtors they're attempting to sell the units. >> does anyone live in the property. >> no. >> so an empty property is complaining about a bar that is what next door and correct. >> i see.

>> i now have information about the types of sound wall and after this weekends test will bring that in finding with that in the packet you can look at it. >> possibly the bshldz is should build a sounds like wall as well and last but not least i find it curious the complaint from residents regarding outdoor events and so this guess another ongoing complaint tell me with the residents are located the only residences i know of have gone up fairly recently actually on the other side of the freeway no sound is audible from those residents we have a complaint coming from someone nearby in an office type of

studio space so not residential. >> however, i know that there will be residential going up across the street and trying to head this off and on the doors of communication prior to that building going up. >> yeah. so can we talk afterward i have a phone number and do you do a sound test i see their patio this noise was cancelled we the white noise from the freeway that goes right over in the past i thought that was true that note true i'm a wrong. >> it varies by weekend i've been other there the freeway cancels things out as you go under the freeway and approach the freeway from the other side the low end extends past the

bridge. >> okay. thank you. >> uh-huh. >> one question on the los sent a residential building. >> a single-family. >> empty but brings down the value of property. >> when they remodel the developer should have put in a sounds like thing so it will not bring down the volume of that; right? i am not that's what i would do if i were the developer. >> in regards to the howard festival on your normal inspection day they were two loud. >> this was planned i went out depending on sunday's either earlier or later in the day as a normal day for me, i try to

wherever something large a street fair try to go out in the beginning and stop in the middle and at the end to make sure they're following the conditions of their permit. >> this was receptive and cooperate. >> they did. >> inspector pauley you're up. >> good evening i stopped by port one a promotion with a local sports reporter that was popular but a couple of issues i've seen before around superbowl was noisy on the avenue and their line management was not great but those issues have been taken care of i went towards fisherman's wharf all around the area to make sure the sound was tight and commissioner lee

(calling names) (laughter) good, huh? wow. and michael how can i missing mess that up on bush street a place of entertainment and extend permit

this one the bar have several years of experience amongst them with ownership and management of drone and tunnel pop and other things it will be a contemporary cocktail bar that does arts and loud amplified music from jazz and bluegrass and acoustic things with approval of the with two conditions they have recommended the denial of extend hours here we go to talk about that the application are the owners. >> commissioners good evening i've owned the tunnel top for 15 years and sold it last september

also the owner of mandatory discretion iron and my friend used to own a bar michelle we're indeed asking for entitlement license we'll hav late extended hours we are wanting to plead to you commissioners and the police department and we'll most likely ask for an extended hours and the current entertainment permit we are seeking like to mention then we are and we've been following the good neighbor policy. >> you've been putting on the table for the past two years and

we ever points your mentioning we're following we we've been doing it and with a history with the city for the past 15 years taking care of the neighborhood and taking care of the aren't and make sure no dealing with the help of the police or city government happening or render comments the tunnel top it is prove we're here to serve the community and we been full transparency with you guys do do whatever you want us to do and provided to the city a good sense - also mention i don't know if you get this paper what we are doing to present the sound to go outside of the building investing $100,000 for stopping any sound out of

building i'd like to mention our commercial rail who will be moved to the next step we'll not have a complaint from that person and i don't know if you have what we're going to put on the roof i have copies for you if you don't it is no sounds like about come out of that building we are inside of the hotel a lobby that community-based organizations through to get our bath that is a great sounds like barrier on top of what we'll put and that's what you see friend of mine michael you've all heard about it. >> do you want me to ramp on. >> we want to ask questions

you don't have to choose to ramp. >> so tell me what you're doing after housing exactly. >> we will our plan and i think what we are hopefully e hoping to do and would like to do with the conversation with the police department to approach special events for post festivals the hotel as an interesting situation a lot of the artists who might be booked into town some of them have a rack record of working with some of the booking agents who might book bluegrass and put up people that he hotel or various hotels now this hotel will think e be, ou knower the actors might be, if you knower but - we

wanted to prove ourselves with a good communication with the police department that is important not a short-term thing but flush out how we'll approach for example, we'll is that there's an artist staying in the hotel that artist might be doing a midnight show up to 1:30 or one 45 and have a security plan how we deal with the transition in the post 2:00 a.m. and the alcohol removal we need time to flush that auto so the entertainment is a vital part of what we want to do the after hours had is not vital how to how we operate. >> so just to be clear you're withdrawing our request for an extend hours permits.

>> we are. >> do we need to take a vote on that or if we just don't vote on that at all okay. thank you. >> the other thing i want to mention i'm impressed with how you, you your drawings of the soundproofing are you actually going to do those steps. >> we're actually doing it, yes they're starting that and the last question why did you call it fluctuations. >> it is 3 times faster. >> since the 1960s an little known art movement that means flow their idea they were a pain in the ass from the dart is one and 80 degrees this is one hundred and 90 degrees this allows a lot of fun that is the way it is i believe we embodied

the way i operate and the drone you know the i consider it to be an experience from the people that walk in part of 2 it music and not enough people approach it as an art forum like vaudeville or sitting up there and playing acele or a peeing contest they have to sit up there and whoever what hold it the longs it. >> i love funny little things it will be quirky and commissioner any other questions. >> we have the data bar. >> i know as hopefully. >> and close in the same area and music is art anyone else that says it is isn't is wrong.

>> one of the savings is john len none and york could on no. >> i walked on thin ice so thank you very much you have a committee. >> yeah. the police department and two things are you agreeing that both the security camera. >> we have that in our plans and the second one i was - >> mandate for our staff. >> perfect, thank you. >> commissioner lee. >> your fire your public assembly it is 49 right now that should have been corrected an error that you went. >> the fire department is 176.

>> you have to file the assembly permit. >> yes. we are. >> okay anyone else question. >> commissioner perez. >> hi, i'm impressed with your drawings so thank you for share i you couldn't have a question about your neighborhood outreach you said you met with the union square business improvement district what you tells us how that transpired. >> it was all the businesses of downtown 17 merchant associations with union square and most of the folks were there and mayor ed lee wanted to make a speech but didn't come and we talked to the oldest neighborhood and around that so we had a very good community at which we spoke last week to

supervisor peskin we have lunch with other restaurant notification and we also went to every single hotel restaurant and bar around there was not one business we didn't address i used to be close with the tunnel top before i started we have a very good history. >> there are no neighbors associations. >> the association no residents. >> two residents within the weather block on the abc one of them is a resident hotel and he is not going anywhere he's happy he's living in that hotel we're not concerned if someone has a problem we'll get to that. >> okay. >> thank you anyone else why not have a seat.

>> thank you police. >> officer mathias nice to see you always nice to see i've met with the applicant and the business as far as them talking about the soundproofing very happy with that but the other part is how it is on the first story of the hotel so even as far as lines if there were a line they can bring in a large large lobby that will easy the congestion on bush street so very happy about that we went over the business plan they're okay with the security camera an front making the frontage for the 14 days and in their business plan they've - they're going to do the tips training

that is we're happy about that as far as the service or alcohol any questions. >> anyone thank you public comment on bar fluctuation is seeing none, public comment is closed so only on the permits not the extend hours that was withdrawn the good neighbor policy and the police conditions can someone. >> i'll make that motion. >> perfect do we have a second. >> there is a motion and a second any further discussion? >> same house, same call? >> good okay. thank you and we actually needed to
