on the first level, it is to you're dealing with at the venue. then it gets into the small art gallery of public works. part of the energy of the venue comes from having that art gallery. having a small workshop with a few resident artists who work on art during the day. it provides a certain energy. when that moves on to the employees were working there during the night, coming in contact with patrons, you have a great start and a good experience. great talent, visuals, who have done the other thing for the most part. lots of responses. >> thank you. dmitri, while enhancing your out dope -- outdoor event, how important is the creative contact to make sure it you have customers who return over and over again? >> our creative content, you know, it is pretty out there. [laughter] >> sort of spices up the meeting. >> for us, i think the most important thing we are offering is something quintessentially san francisco. something that they cannot find anywhere else. we have two fetish fares in san francisco. there are only three other cities in the wor

in order to allow for a "cooling off period" and not having the entire venue released at once. i set the standard in san francisco nightlife operations and in lieu of this we chose to recognize the opportunity and have that standard in mind. >> thank you. is there any other public comment? seeing none i am going to that we continue the minutes from last meeting. do i have a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> commissioner. >> aye. >> commissioner. >> aye. >> commissioner. >> aye. >> commissioner. >> aye. >> commissioner. >> aye. >> it's okay. you can abstain on this. >> supposed to continue it. she can't vote on the minutes. either way. >> it's not a big deal. >> are you an aye vote? for the record? >> yes. >> item three report from the executive director. >> commissioners i will be as brief as possible. i am trying to make up for not having done this report for quite some time. i was going to introduce commissioner akers which the president has done and briefly sitting in that seat that was vacated by the last commissioner so her term will come to a close at the end of the term

there is a lot of entertainment venues, a lot of alcohol being served in that area. so it does present a policing challenge for us, a public safety challenge. and that is really what our primary concern is with not understanding what this space is going to be doing week to week. >> right. >> so we really want to have a comfort level with regard to the security plan, and i'm just not sure an llp will require them to have a sufficient security plan, unless this commission sees that it's appropriate to come up with a security plan. because to be quite honest with you, when you look at the two permits available, the llp is probably a better one with the 10:00 ending time. or otherwise we're going to be talk with the 2:00 a.m. ending time. >> so you would be comfortable and we could amend this to provide for a security plan? all right. sounds reasonable. >> i just have a question (sure. >> if we're just having a meeting, if we're doing something that is a more lively event, that we're certainly interested in being responsible and we do staff all of our events. so that any

this is the kind of venue that creates a draw. you are going to see us coming out here and explaining why our candidates decisively woman the draw. >>neil: why is it that sometimes it is not always interpreted that way? george bush looked at his watch, i thought that was made a bigger deal than warranted but it was caught on camera so now they never wear a watch. >>guest: never. and bill clinton, i will give him credit for the moment of empathy where he set the standard if this kind of venue. it will be a very informative debate but i don't think it will be as exciting at the first one. >>neil: we are plan around the clock coverage on fox business network. could you sell it a little bit better, governor? >>guest: welcome to long island. i grew up in queens and went to school in oakdale. >>neil: in five hours we will have the big moment of the governor could be right, but this may not be the venue for it to get nasty. it could. it could. we will follow it tonight on fox business network because administration the governor could rem

is it a nightclub-type venue? >> it's required. >> security plans is required for all poe. >> what i'm saying it seems like a more appropriate permit for a mariachi band inside the restaurant would be a llp. >> it's not up to us or you. >> i'm aware it's a full poe. we haven't seen the security plan. so we would like to see that. >> we'll make that a condition -- or i will recommend it, if the commissioners agree to make that a condition of approval that the mission station review, as well as our staff the security plan and approve it. >> thank you commissioners. >> okay. officer mcdonald, welcome. >> i have a question? >> all right. >> i have a question. so when they did the remodel, and they replaced the windows outside, are they double paned? carlos, when you did the remodel and you replaced the windows outside, are they double paned windows? >> yes. >> great. >> the security plan -- [ inaudible ] >> i'm sorry. >> the security plan was sent, but it must have evaporated. >> okay. well, if you have it -- okay? we

i represent about 30 or 40 entertainment venues in san francisco, new york, and moscow is. i have a technical question about county transfers. -- and lost vegas. i have a technical question about county transfers. right now, there are very few buildings that you can lease in san francisco anymore. this town has gone nuts in the last five or six months. there are no liquor licenses to purchase. i have strong connections with the liquor licenses on line and some of these people. i am sorry that the top of the list. i have 48 license requests that i cannot fail. i have a two-star michelin restaurant that is moving from downtown out into the mission that the only thing i can do is throw a quick 41 on the place because we can -- because i cannot find a 47 or 848 to do it. i would like you -- or a 48 to do it. i would like to think about some injured county transfers. -- enter-county transfers. there are a lot of restaurants that have a million dollar construction costs and cannot find a license and are freaking out. licensing has gone to about 128,000 this month. we assume they

the theater will serve as important cultural and entertainment venue and complement venues in the areas. it's aligned with the strategies of the central market strategy and enhance the neighborhood. the project is well served by public transportation and not expected to enbummure parking or traf in this case the neighborhood. it's desirable and compatible with the neighborhood and applies with the general plan. the design team are in attendance and have a presentation. this kofn cludes my presentation and i am available for questions. thanks. >> thank you. project sponsor. >> good afternoon. i am ellen richard. i am the executive director of american conservatory theater. act was brought to san francisco in 1967 and by a host of leaders with great determination they left the city of chicago for and won the right to bring this theater to san francisco and founded by bill ball in 1965. they made their home in the historic area and we have a fantastic picture here of them putting a picture up on the theater in 1967 announcing act is here to stay and we still are. as we celebrate half a cen

i know that just about every venue once and after hours permit. we are trying to allow those as much as we can. we have been permitting them. however, with the stipulation to come back in six months 12 months to reevaluate. we are trying to keep those down to two days, three days per month. i know that they can get to that. it is just a matter of the impact that will be had on the community as a whole. it is not something we have had ever. wax jeff, i am going to ask this. the cost of living in the city's going up. while san francisco still attracts many young lgbt people, being able to afford living here is getting harder and harder. i like generalize this question on my own, extending it to just about everyone. what can be done to keep this city attractive and affordable to the young and creative? a lot of people are coming here to have alternative lifestyles all over the map. they come here because the city is not necessarily their job. they will come here even without a job. they do not have a lot of money. as an operator, how do you answer th

naked venus, seen here in botticelli's the birth of venus, symbolized divine love.his was a nude based on classical forms, which also suggests a baptism and a rebirth. [colin eisler] in renaissance florence, the nude again became the focus of artistic effort. donatello's david, probably commissioned by de medici, with its obvious reflection of the roman past, is a masterpiece of technical virtuosity and erotic suggestion. but it was more than that. it was also a brilliantly inventive symbol of the christian faithful, armored only in the word of god. finally, in brunelleschi's church of san lorenzo, we find the two bronze pulpits that donatello left unfinished at his death in 1466. here, for the first time in western art, we find a true late style that leads on to the work of titian and of rembrandt. leaving behind the technical perfection of his early work, donatello now engages with his material in a rougher, more direct manner-- biting into the bronze with his chisel to convey a more emotionally charged message. here in the harrowing of hell, christ's urgent figur

if they do decide to invest in their own venue, the venue has to be successful well beyond those numbers of games that might be had there. we are talking about an entertainment arena. the same challenge for the coliseum -- i used to live in oakland and wanted success all around. you have to have an environment for other things to happen, to have other events that are successful, to make money for all the different investors. you have to have an entryway and transportation infrastructure that supports that. that is what we have in mission bay. the details to follow. i think we are more than just the warriors. i think there are other sports ideas coming forth. with my discussions with the niners, we have ongoing discussions about the legacy of san francisco. they obviously want the name san francisco forty-niners. that means there has to be a constant link with us. what does that economically mean? we are in those discussions as we speak. >> we have time for one more discussion. you were recognized, acquired rightly, as pioneers coming into office, as chinese american mayors in our regions
