Next agenda item is a report from our Deputy Director. Thank you, president , good evening, commissioners. Enforcement report here, ill just take you through the highlighted sections per usual. Jumping to page three ive highlighted eltrabui. It has highlight limited from us and we have been receiving complaints from one neighbour in the area about this venue. They had a broken front door that was hanging off of hinges for a decent amount of time so they were able to open it and force it closed. And so, not closing it during entertainment and they have recently fixed that as of yesterday so just wanted to bring that to your attention and they also paid their latest citation so we are working with them regular meet and page four ive highlighted club 26 mix and regularly on our enforcement reports and inspector respond to the 311 complaints regularly and i will send my name. We sat down with the venue owner and manager and mission station permit officer last thursday and we had a very productive conversation. We shared with them some recent findings that we had were hopeful we will see progress in their behaviour. And the interim, one thing i did do for the neighbour who has been making the most complaints is i got phone numbers for the on site managers that is not something we had before so now if theres a complaint she can contact the on site manager in real time and there were no complaints for this venue this past weekend that we received. Maybe there has been theyve turned a new leaf. Taking you to page seven, underground sf, i just highlighted this because we did issue a notice of violation. Inspector responded to a sound complaint last saturday and upon arrival the front and back doors were open and they were operating pretty significantly over there sound limit and we discovered they do not have a limit so we will do a sound test to have them a a and a c. Skipping to page 12, i highlighted slow vein yan hall. They sent you a letter in the mail and an email. The letter that you receive and i learned was about the slovanian hall and a neighbour said they didnt have an on site manager during events so the inspector responded that following weekend. What the operations are looking like right now is that its a rental hall and so they rent the space out and they basically the keys over and keep a Security Guard on site but there isnt management there so we are working with the point of contact and the hall manager about not bringing them into compliance to follow their security conditions and they may be coming into hearing to revise one of their permit conditions. I think just opening up the lines of conversation and letting them know what their responsibilities are per the Good Neighbour policy, well see a change here. Im also highlighting spin. We did respond to a sound complaint made last weekend about spin upon arrival both at the inspectors responded, they were both in the area and they found the outdoor speakers were playing loud. Spin has a poe permit and they were granted before outdoor speakers and sound were under our purview so theyre not in compliance and so where bringing them into compliance so you see them at a upcoming future hearing. That is all that ive highlighted but i am happy to answer any questions that you have may have about the report. Can you explain the complaints for 4370 Mission Street . Yes. 4730 Mission Street, can you remind me what page thats on. Five and singh all of them. Theres about seven or eight complaints. Yes. They were made, some of them were made close together on going and the inspector went out this weekend and it is a nutrition shop and they were apparently having private events in there and he went on friday they were closed and he went on saturday it was a Birthday Party going on in the nutrition shop. He explained that is entertainment that requires a permit if they wanted to do this they would have to come through our office to be brought in compliance and thats where we left that. So in terms of the action that followed the complaints, was it sometime after 21 or during the theres a whole series of complaints from like january 27th or january so the complaints started last monday and he they came in everyday of the week last week and sew went on friday for the first time and they were closed that friday sew went back the next night 21 when action was taken. Ok. Got it. Thank you. You are welcome. Just to continue on that same topic, so, what was our observations when we went there . Alcohol being served . Thats a good question about alcohol. There was no note from our inspector about alcohol. He just said it was a family Birthday Party. I cant confirm that. Often what happened with Retail Businesses is they think that they can change their use just by closing and then saying oh this is just a private event or a private party. It might be helpful i only say that because it might help us to engage our other resources like our district station or the abc because just like commissioner caminy noted it went on four five days straight so they didnt understand or accept what our inspectors was telling them. It happened prior to our inspector going out those five days of plates and jordan and i both looked online and theres no Contact Information about what exists in that space its vacant storefront. When you search the address it comes up on zillo like theres no nutrition shop listed so we did our internal investigation prior because we would have reached out could we have sooner and so that is why the soonest we had inspector in the field is when it was this past saturday when they were open. This could be an opportunity to bring in the City AttorneyCode Enforcement because theyre quick a at identifying property owners. It could be an illegal venue and theyre just theres not an actual business operating. I share the detail. Were you there . No, i live in the neighbourhood. Tell. It looks like its a former bar. It does have a lot of Healthy Eating signs and multiple languages on the windows. So it was shocking to me that it seems like maybe theres an f. R. C. That is operating out of there. I dont know. It is definitely a former bar. Maybe they just signed a lease, you know. Theyre new. And there was a d. J. There, right . He did say there was music. I would need to speak with inspectors more about the actual type of it sounded like it was an elderly persons Birthday Party and they seemed to understand what was being said but i definitely hear that theres more action than we could take or resources we could use. It looks like a vacated bar from the picture weve seen online so i was surprised it was a nutrition shop. Yeah. I think well go ahead and just share it with the City AttorneyCode Enforcement. Thank you for that suggestion. I had one other going back to slovanian hall, sometimes the manager, because theyre held accountable, isnt the best person to talk to. If you feel like you are not having success, find out who the president of their board of directors is. Theyve been on and off over the decades and a lot of it stems from the level of commitment from their board of directors. The manager has been very responsive and met with one of the Board Members. I started speaking with her last week and so she met with one of the Board Members last week and she understands that they are the ones actually held responsible. She just his number i have. And so, she seems to be reeling that information but i certainly can escalate it if necessary. Its great. Like i said, they just seem to go for a long time really well and then they seem to just kind of pass the plates off to a regular promoter and it goes sideways until it gets to a point one of our city agencies has to step in. Ok. Thank you. I note that hugh has changed their name to love. I think they are we actual low met with bennett last week inperson and i think he is going to continue to use both d. B. A. S, just depending on the type of night audience. All right. Thank you. Hello. On page can you expand on st. Josephs art society. They have reached out about bringing them into compliance with a permit as theyre having events. Hopefully that will be agenizedded very soon. Yes, there was definitely a big party going on. Thank you. Can you share about the party . He did a lot of cruising around the city. He went to the neighbourhoods that were highlighted here and i guess just over all feel was just major disappointment and so, he didnt find anything that was out of the ordinary or out of compliance. There were no complaints. Ok. Thank you. It would have been a different story if they had one. You will never know that for sure. I had some questions about independence. Independence has been there for years and didnt have any issues, ever. And so, what is going on now . Is it a new person that moved in or is there Something Different than before . We have been one where theres a band across the street. Same block. You are talking about the garage band . Yeah. The last time there was a complaint about the independent it turned out to be a band. It was confirmed. Correct. Not confirmed but there is a lot going on on that short half of the street right there from the auto shop with independent and emporium so were seeing theres a new neighbour that has moved in within the last year and it is actually a couple that lives in one unit that made complaints so it appears that its multiple tenants, right, but its coming from one unit and its important to note. So we have been going out in fact weve actually gone ex checked on independent weve done 11 visits since september and we found them in compliance all but one time and so the one time that they were out of compliance was back in september it was a rear door that was open and since then upon the other 10 visits they have been in compliance so were just continuing to respond to the complaints as they come in. And taking readings, sound readings. Were also checking for the garage band and emporium to see the source of noises. Youve been in conversation with the neighbours or the landlords of the that would be me. Yeah. Are they aware that we have our code that we must follow and if they are in compliance . Yes, eye mad i made that cle. It seems as though they want further solutions. Ok. Got it. So just trying to be responsive to that although, the venue has been there for a long time and theyre in compliance with their sound limit. Ok. Thank you, very much. Uhhuh. Is there any Public Comment. Seeing none. Public comment is closed. The next agenda item is number 5. Hearing and possible action regarding applications for permits and ill ask Deputy Director to introduce the idea on the regular agenda. Thank you. The only permit tonight is for a place and permit at the mark hopkins inter continental local hotel at 999 california street. The applicants are coming no compliance applying for the p. O. E. Permit. They host ban quits and lobby events and they have regular entertainment at the top of the mark. In your file are three letters of support. Two are from neighboring hotels and one from the knob hill association. There was no opposition for this permit and Central Station a proves this permit with no added conditions. Here to tell you more is the Hotels Director of food and beverage. Good afternoon commission.

If you wish to adopt that, you could likely just state adopting the staff recommendation. Before we go further, i would like to have sarah clark come up from stanton architecture. Good evening. We have a small presentation ill put on the laptop. We can set that one up, too. Can everyone hear me now. Good evening and thank you for having us. Im withstandton architecture, the architectures for 43 mason street and were here to give background. So as we can see, the project is on mason between garry and post, situated around a lot of Union Square Hotels and close to union square within proximity to some of the places of inter entertait that maggie discussed. Witting sewe have retail space e ground floor with lobby and bars at the back of the site with publically accessible open space. Some meeting rooms on the second level and the majority of the guest rooms will sit on levels three through 14. Levels three through nine will have 20 guest rooms and it will reduce to 13 for the remainder of the floors. The project is being designed to situate within the historic correcter of the kerney district and were using a lot of neutral colour tones and stone and stucco. Things are going smoothly. Please let us know if you have any more questions for us and well be happy to answer any more questions. Doesnt lack lik like like il have any parking. No, no parking. Just ironic youre replacing the parking structure with no parking. True. Thank you. Just in terms of the noise, the recommendations around the window, ratings, are the ratings that are recommend in here of 39 to 42 of the guest rooms facing mason street and 32 on the other ones and is that what youre planning to do . I should mention. Of course. As we proceed with the design, well bring salter and associates back on as part of our project team to continue the acoustical envelope. But we intend to comply. Thank you. Hello. Thanks for coming in. I think i have about two or three questions for you. Will you have a banquet faciliy with entertainment . You know, we do have meeting rooms on the second floor and it wont be a fullservice kitchen but it will serve the bar. So we do intend to have some functions. I dont think theyll be very large, given our spaciou space limitations. Are you planning to have a way to minimize the noise for the rest of the hotel guests upstairs . Orswell have impact ratings within our floor assemblies and wall assemblies within the building itself. You mentioned you would have a bar on the first floor . Yes, we do. And youre going to have some kind of noise cancellation, soundproofing . Yeah, we can include that into the design. And then, how are you guys planning to notify or alert your hotel guests that theyll be staying across the street from Entertainment Venues . I dont know if weve developed a plan for alerting potential guests. If the commission or the department has typical protocols, we would be happy to look into these. Maybe just in your marketing to make sure its clear it will be staying across the street from Entertainment Venues. Well have to consider that, thats a good point. Ok, thank
