it is a very large venue. it is to restaurants, to liquor lyses -- it is two restaurants, two liquor licenses, an outdoor music venue on a residential street with very diverse character, people who are physicians and laborers and the gamut that runs between. everyone does look forward to this venue coming. at the same time, we deeply ask for your help in making sure that these provisions do not undermine the character of our home as well. we do ask for the opportunity to review it again in 12 months. we ask your support in limiting the powers and decibels that are limited so that people can sleep and live in their homes and enjoy them. i will add that, regarding another facility, there was discussion of good and bad operators. i am currently unfortunately dealing with a very bad operator and can speak firsthand that it is a tough battle. i hope you will spare my neighbors my battle. president miguel: thank you. >> buenas tardes. my name is roberto hernandez, and i am an indigenous latino brother who was born a

each one of these venues has been warned repeatedly in the past. so in that way the process that the e.c. staff, that we have created in working throughout first there being some warning before we cite has been in place and it's working. we will continue on that path. on the incident list you'll see for the minor list, i won't recap every incident but hustler club, murphy's bar, elephant and castle bar, i have no idea how to pronounce that. anyway. it only came to us because it actually was the bubble lounge next door that called in the incident and was able to get a police response. so it was nonentertainment related but it was a club that was being a good neighbor to its area and was able to stop a crime from proceeding and bring in police to address the issue. the particler, show girls, another incident on broadway and kearney which is not really surprising. it's a busy intersection. and gino. on the major list, incident list, we had an incident at little darlings of a robbery. basically someone distribute night deposit's being robbed. atmospher

when the venue was letting out, some violence began to occur. a german tourist got caught in the middle of it and unfortunately died. the mayor and the president of the board of supervisors called a press conference, and they vowed that they would do something about this. so, we have legislation that is on its way to the board of supervisors. acting director kane, when? >> nor 15th. >> november 15th there will be a hearing before the public safety committee of the board. >> correct. >> we held one hearing. i've talked around with various other people, and i can't really generate enough interest or get any direction to go in to have a second hearing. i would like to explore this further, but let me just summarize what we learned from the first hearing. this basically has been whittled down to get around the objections that killed the first attempt to legislator to regulate the profmenter industry. basically what we are left with in the latest legislation is just an online registration system. anyone who declares himself or herself to be a promote

of music venue, all under one roof. the applicant -- the aggregate concerns of no less than 80 staff people, hopefully more than 200, as well as up to 375 live music venue patrons -- hundreds of people at any given hour of the day, with cleanup hours and what not, we want hours to be reduced for the inside dining area. there is no comparable of outdoor venue. the neighborhood concerns are all about aggregation that is potentially boy to happen. -- going to happen. we have every effort in working with jack knowles, and hopefully we will come back and say we do not need the review. president miguel: thank you. >> i am jackie mclandrige, also speaking on behalf of my husband's death. i want to thank mr. antonini for attending our meeting the other day. he was very hopeful in facilitating hopefully a great step moving forward. i just want to say on behalf of my husband and myself we are extremely excited about 777 valencia. we think it is going to be a great addition to the neighborhood. that being said, with the agreed con

leaving when the exit the venue. there will probably stop to pee on my garage door down the street. i am here to urge you to accept and go ahead and allow this project to be completed. it will be a fantastic addition to our diverse neighborhood. there has been a top 100 bay area restaurant for 10 years, and preservation hall is ideal for san francisco. most of what i have here has been covered already. i just wanted to -- i am skipping over some things as ago. there are concerns about the project fitting in and the noise they will make, but there are similar venues already on valencia's street -- and asia, the elbow room, and blondie i's all have live music regularly. there are plenty of dining areas. the valencia street improvement project which was just done was to facilitate just the kind of business we have there now and to bring this type of business to valencia's street. ultimately, when you live in a dense urban environment, especially a thriving commercial district like valencia's street, any change is unnerv

we have a situation where a gun was inside the venue. the end result was the worst possible end, but when a gun gets inside of the venue, we want to try to crack a condition so we do not have the problem again. there was pat downs and reiteration of that, but not of women. they admitted they were cutting down just men. no. 14, we put in specifically asking that the site is monitored by video surveillance, because if that is the breach, that is one way to handle it, and the pad down is something the needs to be addressed in the securities plan, and we expect to see attached downs of men and women with appropriate security guards trying to cover the breach. >> how does it affect their confidence? if there is ever a time it might be appropriate? >> one way would be to make sure they are hiring licensed and insured securities trader a good security company would know what they are doing. they have the experience to do it accurately. we see venues and they say, who is doing your security? a friend of mine. he has been doing it for a long time

it is a very large venue. it is to restaurants, to liquor lyses -- it is two restaurants, two liquor licenses, an outdoor music venue on a residential street with very diverse character

if you pick up somebody because they got in a fight at one venue, if you go to another venue, it will show they got kicked out of a certain venue, and it will say, we kicked off this guy, because he was disrespectful to the cocktail waitress. then it is up to their discretion over whether or not they are going to let the gentleman in or not. as far as the costs, the initial cost is between $2,000.3000 dollars. it is basically for the kiosk. there are different options, but it also has a monthly fee of $250 a month for the software. they offer a lease, so it could be as low as $300 with no up- front cost to the business. as far as people getting worried about it, it can be used to manage guest lists. it is not like to different systems. it gives you information that is vip, and they can be treated like that. one of the other features of the software is when they tristan and take a picture. -- they do this and take a picture. it saves the picture of their id, and it saves an actual picture you connect a camera to. i forwarded that, but i will send more information as i get it. it has a

these operate as one venue. because the building is designed to support a large, multi use the new, it would be difficult to divide it into separate spaces. since the packets were distributed on november 9, there have been several of dates. staff has received several letters with concerns. concerns include the hours of operation, noise, odor, traffic, and business operations. there has been correspondence and a meeting to discuss these concerns. yesterday the neighbors submitted modified conditions for approval. staff will review the version sent yesterday and draft modifications. these comments were e-mailed earlier today. on hard copy has been restricted for your review. one change is the planning department does not recommend conditions 37 and condition 38. many conditions are unenforceable by the department, but the planning department does recommend addressing hours of operation for activity, a dressing hours of deliveries, and an informational planning committee. there is a consultant that can address nois

he also worked to set problem venues on the right path.knew the mission like the back of his hand. he loved our neighborhood. the guy who took over was re halston, who had also been at the police station well over a decade and he served valiantly as our permit officer until his retirement. these guys come each one of them made each and every permitting decision having to do with any permit in the neighborhood. the captain was essentially, to put it and not such politically correct terms, a rubber-stamp. these guys were on the front line and these guys did the leg work and interact with all of us, the folks who ran the venues. each of the 15 precincts, 11 precincts 15 years ago, each and everyone has their own person. the last of these old-time permit guys, officer gallagher, just retired. today, most if not all permitting stations and decisions are made by the precinct captain. this is unfortunate. the captain is a very political role and there are pressures that go along with being commanding officer of a station that often make risk avoi

we have listed permitted venues that we are staying close to right now in a variety of districts. they have different districts -- different issues on our watch list where the entertainment staff is concentrating time and resources. then we reported incidents that were reported to us through san francisco police department reports. we split them up by dealing with entertainment commission permitted venues and those not permitted by the commission. which i feel is relevant given that there are three of us in the office for handling 400 forms of entertainment pertinent to the department. it's a good portion of our time is spent on panel then use, it makes it that much more difficult. we did what we could working with the police to bring complaints. leslie, we have attached a continuing list of suspensions. suspensions that are relevant to violent incidents in 2010. all of the actions we have taken were swift. all of the cases have been followed immediately by the director's order. i have attached some other things in terms of citation and what it would look like and am happy to take

pertaining to his particular venue, it's not a problematic venue. i understand the concerns that the neighbor has and it's just something that we have to pay attention to. but i will support the 2:00 and if there are issues in the future or fear of issues in the future, then we can address those in the future. but i want to give him full support and think you should support the 2:00. thank you. president newlin: thank you. any other public comment? seeing none, commissioners, discussion? no? commissioner perez: i was wondering if maybe the staff can let us know why is the police department asking for a 1:30 restriction? >> commissioners, this is a condition put on every single permit, application that goes through there their precinct. you've seen it ever single time. commissioner meko: a couple issues that have been raised. the general mayhem in the area, the fact that other clubs are operating with entertainment ongoing, with doors wide open. and that there's a lot of overflow, nuance with kids hanging around, causing general nuance as kids are. n

>> we have over 85 artists participating, 16 venues, 21 events.here are over 15 groups that are performing. >> there recently kicked off at the beginning of may and will continue through june 13? correct? >> that is correct. unlike in the past years, we have had to expand the festival because there has been so much activity and so many people want to be part of the celebration. we're very honored and pleased to have the festival going all the way into june. >> we're kind of coming in on one of the groups. >> francis is one of the pioneers of the asian american jazz movement and is also one of san francisco's very own. we're very honored at the cultural center that we can be part of the program. >> an addition to him, what are some of the other highlights of the festival? >> we have three gallery openings in the festival. one is called reclaim, which is a film art. the others are

always are -- it is a very interesting venue in itself. as far as someplace to hear music, i will certainly admit i was doing some interface in earlier months of the project and happen to have been in that space. and i heard the band when they were doing some recordings for a record. and the sound is great in there. the other thing is in the mission district this year i have gone to see the latin jazz youth orchestra, which is in the mission. that is where they are headquartered. so there is a great deal of synergy that will come to the project as it proceeds. >> commissioner olague, i just want to clarify that your motion references the modified conditions. vice president olague: that is correct. >> that is related to another issue that came up. what the commission practice has been in the past about the six month hearings has been that if there is an issue you typically direct staff to hold the hearing at a later date. there is nothing to prevent you from doing that at that time if there is a problem that comes up at the six month point.
