commissioner meko: that is correct. vice chair joseph: if they want to be good neighbors with the police, that is on them outside of the conditions of the permit. other than that, the police need to get a warrant. commissioner meko: that is correct. if i were in their situation, of course i would turn it over immediately to try to solve the crime. but i have concerns, especially given what the city attorney has told us, about writing this into the conditions. i would recommend we strike that language. president newlin: that is fine. your clients want to cooperate, right? >> totally. they just want to make the venue work. it has been empty for a long time. president newlin: any other questions? >> i have always wanted to be a pool shark. how many lessons would i have to take? >> let me see it [laughter] . -- let me see.

. -- commissioner meko. there has been a request made by supervisor wiener to amend code section 1070 which is a police code section that we work with regarding extended hours permits. he is asking the city attorney to draft an amendment to exempt restaurants from security plan requirements. in 2009, when we had a schedule change, they were basically made it to mirror each other in terms of almost every aspect including security plans and the corrective actions we are about to do now. it has not happened up until recently that an applicant came forward wanting to do basically food service after 2:00 a.m.. we have not faced this issue before. it was made clear to this applicant that we were previously the bagdad cafe. we will be required to have security and they requested that the supervisor make an amendment to the law. it has not been drafted but it has been assigned to -- because he has familiarity with 1070. i don't know anyone ceiling on whether this is appropriate or not but as this legislation comes f

[calling votes] >> you are excused. commissioner kane: this is the continuation of the item from last month. just to keep its move, you have documents from the planning with the proposed conditions, so the permits are mechanical amusements, and i will turn it over. >> if i may, as a reminder -- i am the attorney, and we were here last week. this is an application from my client. she is purchasing from the existing e -- llc. it will be operated much the way it has in the past. we asked for a continuance so we can get in touch with community groups, and ms. steiner has done that, and it has generat

meko? >> good afternoon, jim meko, chair of the task force. thank you for your time. this policy replaces an earlier policy of citizens' review, which originally put a housing cap in place which would have limited housing production to 100 units. that never was able to achieve a majority group -- majority vote in a diverse group of people. we took a second crack at this and sat down with spur and many other people. this is the alternative to the original housing proposal. i see my friend and tim -- my friend tim cole waiting in the wings. we said in this policy you can build all the housing you want. the blood probably rush so much to his head he did not hear the second half of that sentence, which is, "as long as you do not mess up the historical balance of affordable versus market rate housing and do not drive jobs out and turn this into a bedroom community." what you are looking at today is four lines that would appear in the proposal for adoption that is going to the planning commission and then will be before you. that policy reads "establish a community stabiliz

. >> in general, i do support jim meko and the task force and its objectives. i saw language today from the planning department and other language i could support. but i cannot support this the way it is currently written. in this town, you have immigrants and people without degrees. there needs to be a place for them in san francisco. they rely upon the business of the construction industry and the trades. as they work themselves -- their ways up, they become small builders. imagine if you buy one of these sites and all of a sudden an imbalance was triggered. the rules change in the middle of the game. you submitted the plan for a code-conforming project. all of a sudden, they will not process your permit. who is going to make the payments for you? what banks will land on the site in which you are not guaranteed an entitlement process where there is a chance the process could stall? i have questions regarding the exemption for one-acre sites. why are the smaller builders going to be stuck? why are smaller buildings being punished by forces beyond their control
