And it will serve the public convenience or the necessity of the city and county. The members of the public who wish to provide Public Comment on this item call the number that i mentioned earlier and printed on your agenda and dial 1, 0 now to be added to the queue. I believe that we have the officer here to present on this item . Yes, good morning. Good morning. Okay. So you have before you a report for the epicurian trader and they have applied for a type 21, 41, 86 license and if approved this allows them to separate in offsale general to sell beer and wine anyplace and a tasting type license. There are zero letters of protest, zero letters of support. They are located at plot 216, which is considered a high crime area. And they are in a high saturation area and no opposition. And recommends approval on the following conditions number one, winetasting is conducted there should be signs in a conspicuous space, that the entrance and or the exits of the premise as depicted on 257 which state no alcoholic beverages beyond this point. Said times shall be no less than 7inch by 11inch in size and contain letters no less than one inch in sign. Two, signs posted that no minors are allowed in the tasting area as of april 1st, they have not agreed formally to the conditions. They have and they have not . They have not as of april 1st. Okay. And if we could ask the applicant about that. Thank you, officer. Do we have matt pawns on the line . Or another representative of the applicant . The applicant is matt pond and matt pond is on the callin line and our Operations Team could unmute mr. Ponds phone number so he can speak to our committee now. He is ready to speak. Clerk mr. Pond . Hi, guys. Everybody hear me . Clerk yes, we can. Okay. So first of all, thanks for the meeting and i know that its been difficult for everybody to try to push things forward and we appreciate everybody working hard to keep the process moving forward. Firstly, as it provides to the conditions, you know, i think that in the hustle and bustle of shelterinplace and trying to run a business that just was missed but were fully supportive of the conditions and we have no objection and were more than happy to put that on the record and anything that is required. And just everybody on the phone call knows, the epicurian trader and the suggestions hopefully that will clear that matter up. And, secondly, you know, as i sort of think about, you know, the essence of this topic which is whether its a public convenience and a necessity, i think about our other locations and in moments like this i think that its very paramount and clear that we are a necessity to these neighborhoods. If we were not currently opened, you know, the residents would have very limited or zero access to Fresh Produce and milk, eggs, fresh bread. And so i think that, you know, i think that its highlights how big a necessity that having a quality grocer, san franciscorun, and locally owned and operated, you know, how critical it is for the residents of those neighborhoods. You know, and the financial district is in a similar pocket. Theres very limited access to quality grocers in that part of town. And, you know, we strive to offer a similar selection as we do in the neighborhoods and try to become a convenience for the people th that work in the aa or use the Ferry Building as a means of transportation. And so, you know, we hope that you guys recognize that what we do, we do things by the book. We definitely strive to try to adapt and to become part of the neighborhood and hopefully some of the board of supervisors who have had other locations in the neighborhoods have experienced that either firsthand or through, you know, comments from the constituents. Thank you, mr. Pond. I dont see any comments or questions from my colleagues. So we can open this up to members of the public if any have called in. Mr. Clerk, are there any callers on the line . Clerk mr. Chair, staff is checking to see if there are any callers in the queue. One second, please. Clerk thank you. A reminder for anyone who may have called in, if you want to speak on agenda item 1, you dial 1, and then 0, after you have connected to our public line and entered the access code. There appears to be one caller. Clerk great. I will say some things about Public Comment. We give our speakers two minutes and we ask that you state your first and last names clearly. Okay. Im going over Public Comments and the speakers will have two minutes and we have to hear your first and last name clearly and speak directly into the phone. If you have a written statement that you have prepared, you are encouraged to send a copy to the Committee Clerk for the official file. And in the interest of time we ask that speakers avoid repetition of previous statements, though we only have one Public Commenter, thats not going to be a problem. So, please, go ahead. You can begin now. Have we connected the first caller . Yes, we have. Hello, caller, can you hear us . That caller is not mr. Pond, right . Clerk it shows mr. Pond all right, well, we already heard from mr. Pond. So it sounds like we dont have any additional Public Comment on this item. And so im going to close Public Comments now. And bringing the imaginary gavel down. And so, again, no comments or questions i dont see any comments or questions from my colleagues. I understand that supervisor peskin is supportive of this item. Moving forward, i think that it is reasonable to expect that the applicant can meet the conditions and formally agreed to the conditions before this gets voted on with the board of supervisors. Im hoping that will happen. And ill probably ask to confirm our office will make sure that has happened before this is voted on, board of supervisors. But with all of that said, i think that we can direct our clerk to prepare resolution determining the issuance of the license to serve the public necessity and i will make a motion to send that forward to the full board with positive recommendation. And, mr. Clerk, can you call the roll. Clerk on the motion to recommend a resolution to the full board of supervisors, that finds that the service premise would meet the public convenience or necessity, vice chair stefani . Aye. I got it. Thank you. Clerk stefani, aye. Member walton. Supervisor walton aye. Clerk walton, aye. Chair mandelman . Supervisor mandelman great, the motion passes. Thank you, everyone. We got through one, one more to go. Clerk, call the next item. Clerk pardon me, just a moment. Agenda item 2, is a hearing to consider that the transfer of a type 20 offsale beer and wine Liquor License to d. P. And d. K. Investments incorporated doing business as kal neighborhood maisht at 19th avenue, will serve the public convenience or necessity of the city and county of the and the members of the public who wish to provide Public Comment on this item should call the Public Comment line and enter the access code and then queue up by pressing 1, and then 0. You should do so now. Mr. Chair. Supervisor mandelman great. Thank you. And, again, well start with officer samuelson from the a. L. U. All right, you have before you a report for d. P. And d. K. Investments inc, and applied for a type 20 license and this allows them to operate in an all ofsale beer and liquor premise. And zero letters of opposing and they are in a low crime area, they are in census track 32601, which is considered high saturation, and no opposition. A. L. U.

We appreciate you hearing we appreciate you hearing this item today. Im sabrina shaggy and im speaking on behalf of the project sponsor. And the gas station has been operating at the site for decades and includes a building with an awtdo repair station and a small food mart. The owners propose to put the auto repair station to a more beneficial use by expanding this into the rest of the existing building. The Planning Commission unanimously approved the project on consent. Although this is a chevron gas station its a familyowned and operated franchise where the owners take great pride in being part of this community. Their goal is to provide a true neighborhood serving market in response to the needs of their customers. The expanded food mart will include the sale of general grocery items, fresh coffee, mademade food and personal items, as well as beer and wine. So that the local residents can conveniently pick up most of the items they need while stopping for gas. 37 neighbors and customers have signed a petition or written letters in support of the project and stating that this type of market would be beneficial to the neighborhood. Aside from providing a onestopshop for customers, the addition of beer and wine sales will provide a muchneeded increase in revenue which is crucial for the longterm viability of the gas station. In turn, this will help to preserve jobs for current employees and to provide new Employment Opportunities in the neighborhood. Given the current economic crisis, its imperative that the city support neighborhood serving and familyowned businesses. Aside from the conditions that the Police Department has imposed and the owners have agreed to, the owners are also taking a number of other safety precautions. Theyre not providing any beer or wine near the entrance, theyre requiring all employees to complete abcs Online Training course and the site will be monitored at all times for the insulation of 11 security cameras. And the owners have no tolerance for any loitering and they take the maintenance of the property seriously. And the addition of this type 20 license will ensure the continued viability of the gas station and most importantly it will look at the needs of those that live and work in the neighborhood. For these reasons we respectfully request that you forward this to the full board for positive recommendation. Thank you and im available for any questions. Supervisor mandelman thank you. I dont see any comments or questions from my colleagues. So i will open this up to Public Comment. Do we have any callers in the queue . Clerk mr. Chair, staff will check to see if theres callers in the queue. Mr. Chair, there are no callers wishing to speak. Supervisor mandelman great. I will close Public Comment. And, colleagues, i understand that supervisor mar is not in opposition to this license, he supports sending this item forward to the full board. Given that, i think we can direct our clerk to prepare a resolution to determine the issuance of the license for public convenience and subsidy and ill make a motion to send that resolution to the full board with positive recommendation. Clerk, please call the roll. Clerk on the motion to amend the resolution pending public convenience or necessity findings for the applicant, vice chair stefani. Supervisor stefani aye. Clerk stefani, aye. Supervisor walton. Supervisor walton aye. Clerk walton, aye. Is it chair mandelman . Supervisor mandelman aye. Clerk theres no further business.
