my name is wesley li, and i'm owner of 939 clements street. it's always been a dream to have my own business with my own music. most of my clients are between 50 and 75 years old. they love entertainment, and they do need a decent place for them to spend some great time together, and i would like to thank you for the supporters in my community and hopefully, we can have this venue for long-term and have a great time for all the music lovers. >> thank you. we're open for questions. >> so it's limited live, it's only till 10:00. is that enough for you? is that because of the zoning? what's happening. >> well, right now, he does dim sum from 9:00 to 3:00, and then, the restaurant is open from 5:00 to 10:00, so we're closed already. if it becomes popular, we'll come back in a year and ask for 11:00. >> okay. commissioners, any other questions? >> sounds great. >> yeah, i don't have any questions about it. you can have a seat. thank you very much. at this point, i'm going to open for public comment on this matter, and i do have two speaker cards, s

about his application. >> good evening, commissioners, i'm with wesley li. just want to say this, after he did apply, he did stumble out of the gate. he had a little gathering there with music, so at that point, somebody had complained and he was issued a citation. he paid the citation. what was helpful is he was able to meet with the executive director, she was very first about not having any music until the -- the whole process completed itself, and then, if it was approved. what was great about that meeting is the executive director provided some guidance by saying why don't you just apply for one-day permits, so he applied for various one-day permits as he went along. that put him on solid ground leading up to today. in the course of this whole process, he was pleased to get the support of the greater geary merchants and associated businesses. also, the people that live in that area also expressed to us that there was a need not only to have food because it is a large space, but the nice thing about it is wesley had experience in the restaurant industry.
