two weeks? >> no. >> a month? >> probably. >> okay good that's great >> yes. there's a lot of work to do and will be off and running. so unless you have any questions for me- >> take me >> can we all go? >> i will hand it over to mr. polly. >> i will start it up your good evening, commissioners. report about inspections first. i want to correct the date. the first item and union st., festival it says 514. that was a typo. june 4 it was there around 5 pm. i was there for a couple hours in the area observing the surrounding area the side avenues, checking for [inaudible] this sort of thing. huge police presence. in the alleys and side streets. a lot of venues on fillmore street seen a bump in early activity, 6-7 8 pm. the [inaudible] was for street wwe did not receive any complaints so all went well. on 520, may 20, the second item it says 5-2. i forgot to put the zero. this was at 3:30 pm. we talked about this at last meeting can an issue regarding the noise alley ministry at 1021 sanchez st. i made contact with the church on or before the show took place that we talked about and i talk to her about it looking like what they were doing was entertainment. i told her she needed to contact our deputy director and talk to her to she ended up doing a leader in the week. i'm not sure how it played out in the end, nevertheless, i went by after 5 pm after the event started to see if there was any sound issues for the complaint and i did not notice anything. it was not imperceptible. nevertheless i told her because we don't permit the venue, i didn't-i'll be taking on a hands-off approach and waiting for direction from staff. so will see how that goes. i'm sure not sure how that's going to play out. on the 19th, this was at 620, i stop by mission cultural center to do an inspection. i talked to-that the operations manager i talked permit they do not have a permit post. they posted it in from inside the information booth. they can you schedule of events and just explain to them some of things. i been there a couple times so it was an interesting place to kind of stop i i was just checking on it. i left this item off last meeting on by accident but because dollhouse, 315 916 straight last year they were subject to an abc action regarding an employee peddling marijuana and me and sean went by with al al view and talk to my brother. nevertheless, that was a good idea to stop in. then check in on what's going on could honestly, they have mechanical moving devices there like 5-6 pinball machines in the front of the venue. i talked to their bartender just asked about any underage drinking or gambling or anything. stuff like that. but it looks fine. there every thing is in compliance with a couple of 1:20 am. i deserve the sidewalks in the management the audrey and john adult with him before. so, it's been a while since we instructed him to move their line and manage their sound better and then not received any complaints and on this particular night they were in compliance. i took a quick look at elbow room. i was in the area. i pass by a bunch of venues. i just pick out elbow room. i observe the exterior environment of the venue. it was busy but patrons were moving the sidewalks were not too cluttered. so it was fun. fine. on 21 may, at the end of the night operation, for [inaudible] there sidewalks looked a little cluttered. if i was-i could've the world am a notice of violation but it wasn't really that serious because it just look like they're end of the night. there were no complaints but nevertheless going to stop i do a follow-up inspection i scheduled for this weekend. a couple complaints. one of them is a complaint with the dealing with for a while. this is blatant and 1351 folk st. over the last few weeks i have observed the avenue in the sound environment and what my determination is is that it's collective sound, first of all. not just that venue. that avenue is busy with venues. nevertheless, after talking to inspector burke he states that he can clearly hear the base over everything else. so, the next step is to do in the end tests and compliance testing whenever i'm out there and they request testing. so we'll see how that plays out. the last item is a complaint in regards to club mala. they got a couple complaints. there really hasn't been many complaints in a while, but it got a couple in the last few weeks. this one was saturday at 11 pm. i was able to go by almost immediately within a half hour-45 min. i stopped out on virginia avenue about 20 feet from the property to see if i could hear anything. i could hear a little on mission street but nothing that would be out of line for the kind of thing they do. but, even though it's particularly quite on the street and neighborhood, it gets a lot quieter in the residencies and the so i'm sure the neighbors are expensive and something. so, i scheduled to do some interior noise testing with them and we'll see how that goes. i'll report back to you any questions? >> i have one for noise alley ministry. were we not tipped off by someone about that? >> yes. >> did you contact them about just following up about your inspection? >> i was in contact with them. this particular neighbor was a little on the aggressive side. i like to wait until i develop some kind of information before going back and forth because it ends up being just a bunch of stuff being thrown against the wall. you know what i mean? >> sure >> idle her complaint was valid or not so the first thing was to make contact 01 to give the venue to the opportunity to defend himself and discuss the results will discuss the matter with our deputy director >> i see. okay, that's fine. any questions for inspector burke? i'm sorry, polly. the record should show actually commissioner jan caminong and commissioner frost re:. >> the reason you are hearing this [inaudible] more mundane visits is because they switched areas so i have not done that before. but i did it because i felt like there was in importance and not getting too comfortable. so jordan's visiting venues that sean is very familiar with and different eyes and different experiences i think is been a be a better system to make sure that everyone doesn't get too complacent were too close to these guys at a comfort level around, you know, how they work and what they do. they're very different operators, these two. i think that is a good thing. so he's can go to malibu totally different than he will now sean is going to go to the nightclubs [inaudible] >> we caught that when you -either that was great because we had heard about venues we not heard of about reported inspector polly, director kane and good evening president >> good evening. a couple new complaints. one for the grand -lounge on geary right round abuelo. this is a establishment that had applied for a permit when ms. can meet locks on what was with us and something held it up, a be something along the lines of their abc permit. we did get a complaint recently about what sounds like midi karaoke going on at towards the end of their hours. i have been unable to witness that and i'm in touch with the complainant. the complainant has my mobile number or try to work out communication i know susie able to report to me when when he hears sound coming from-. i'll keep you posted on that. we have received a complaint from the hampton inn, fairly new hotel across the street from mezzanine. on jefferson street. upon some conversation with the assistant manager there, i learned that you seven complaining for some time. this is first time that lodged a formal complaint.. everybody was in the organization thought each other were filing complaints so this is the first time we've heard of it. i've been on site for taking measurements in a guest room there and i've spoken with the owner at mezzanine. we are waiting to get some information about some conversations that happened between the previous owner of mezzanine and the developer of a hotel to see kind of how some conversations went down in planning the construction. i hope to have some more information for you by next meeting. >> are they complaining about music were people in the streets are what? >> on the lower floors there something to picture noise but the upper floors are just base and it's only on the jesse side. i was told that the mission site is double pained and the jesse side is not. the jesse side >> which makes perfect sense because the jesse side is a nightclub in the mission side doesn't. how ridiculous. >> there's also that. mounted air conditioning units on the jesse side, so there's the free flow of sound waves coming through. >> chapter 116, doesn't include hotels, right just residential? >> this is correct. i confirm this and i've made an inquiry as to the possibility of amending chapter 116 to include hotels because there has been in the news regarding a possible creation of what are called [inaudible]. but i may or may not be able to get that done in time. we will see. >> thanks. they should be in a just similar. >> i'll keep you updated as i get more info. >> is the picture noise on the jesse side coming through the windows? going through that door work into the building? as they are choosing to put-to do like accept patrons on the jesse side and not the mission side, which is actually the front about oh is the mission side, right? >> poseurs, so the jesse side doors are manned with a hotel representative. the mission side is locked. you can access both ways. both of double sliding doors. >> so let me get this straight. the main entrance about tell is on jesse side, which is the side that does not have a double pane windows and is across the street from a nightclub? >> from the layout of the building, i would say, yes >> so, the mission street side which is not near anything has double pained windows and is not the main entrance of the building? >> from what i could tell, set yes >> that makes perfect sense. >> little tally narrow street >> a couple of inspections. the chamber of the restaurant at the phoenix hotel had a couple of outdoor amplified events for memorial day. we have a resident off hold, i think i mentioned previously, that has graciously allowed me entrance to his residence. i've taken in the and measurements so i can compare those to he's disturbed at this point we get a good ambient measurement. i was able to get access and take a measurement their weekend as well during entertainment i'm a but that particular weekend wasn't as loud as previous as he had mentioned. so, he's going to be in touch next time there's an event and will see if we can get a good beating analyzing frequencies and see if there something we can do to contain the chamber sound. >> i noticed they been promoting a lot more events by their pool. >> i think is the season swings there's going to be >> more than in past years >> they definitely capitalize on holidays and-as well summer as well, two. >> is this complaint is the same complaint and that has been complaining? is this a big building a multiunit building? >> correct. on polled. the first physical unit overhangs, and on one side and the chamber is slightly visible from another window on the property. so he's getting sound from chambers a little bit of people noise, some base, and then actually some noise from fixed mechanical on top of brenda's so i put him in touch with the department of health as well to address that. multiagency investigation. >> i see. thank you. >> quick update about this year's con of all. very smooth. everything was on time. i was on site both days and in touch with organizers. we were able to provide a schedule ahead of time and i was able to check-in multiple times throughout the day both saturday and sunday. no complaints that i came to [inaudible] directly to us. all in all the was a big success. susan sarandon's ping-pong nightclub was brought to our attention. 690 fulsome st. we were made aware of some dj even said that. i was able to stop by and talk to the manager and now were in the process of getting him permitted. this past weekend, early sunday morning, at the end up there was an incident with a firearm. i paid a visit on sunday evening to talk to security and management of the end up. we sat down for about an hour interviewed 630 footage, talked about what happened. they met with the sfpd today and we are meeting scheduled for thursday at 11 am with staff in the office to discuss the incident and what should we be doing during to move four. forward. >> with that inside or outside? >> at this point we do not know. >> some of those lease reports are not public record depending on the outcome. >> can you- >> i said some police reports are not a matter of public record, depending on the outcome of the incident. >> i reach out to the permit officer today and at that point even he did not have any kind of incident report or narrative because i think the investigation is still pending. >> forced and social clubs does that mean they're not really open what does that mean? >> they are open with ping-pong at the night that i visited her mother was a dj. now they're in the process of starting. >> so we will see them soon? >> yes >> grades. great. sounds like relatively quiet given how bad it could be. any questions from commissioners? public comment? public comment is closed >> >> will move on with our meeting to item number four police department comments and questions. i don't see any least upon representatives tonight so we'll just will bring along to item number five. hearing and possible action regarding permits. we have two tonight and i'll handed over to a deputy director. >> great. good evening, commissioners. others permit application it this evening is for women in live performance, it is for a limited beer basement located at 222 highest rate in the former space of the basement. new owner, steve smith owns the special specialty beer store and ills unlimited in pacific heights. he plans on expanding this business model that is new premises so is actually did have for entertainment stand up comedy, open mic night, live jazz, and all can be in a craft beer focused bar. he hopes to be able to of flexibility and when he does an arm but always and by 10 pm. i haven't received any opposition about the permit application. we approve it with a good neighbor policy. the only condition. here to tell you more about his application is owner, steve smith. >> good evening. yes, we just picked up the basement and we change it as a site location from our facility in pacific heights. we only have retail and stability to do like a surf the draft and the limited products we have. there used to be a stand up comedy before at that location, and open mic and initially we did not have this as a anything under plan, but when he approached us a few times we said, okay why not. we could use the momentum and get the what they already had to i think was every thursday they had stand up-not open mic and every saturday they had for two hours they do standup comedy and so we met with the department to ask if we can apply for that license. >> are usurping any hard alkyl or is it just.? >> just beer and wine. we didn't want to do hard alkyl because that's not our focus. we did it for eight years on. at least a location with hard alkyl but the more premium single malts. we don't do anything in the mixed [inaudible] actually our focus is more in the upper end of the spectrum of the products. so a different kind of overly different kind of [inaudible] then used to be >> are you familiar with the history of the basement and the neighbors around? >> yes. i just had a few times met with sam. she's with [inaudible] >> great >> i spoke with her this afternoon actually. she had to pull the kids outside to get everybody alerts. she was happy that we moved in because apparently it was some complaint here and there from the previous owners. we picked everything out what they had in their swap the noise complaints there before i got there anymore because we actually don't have anything existing what they had in the. that got pulled out. i reach out to some of the other stores around [inaudible] quite as the neighborhood. everybody so far was okay with that we moved in, yes. >> great. i think-main complaints of our previous permit holder and so i think if you are if you're spoken with them and actually change the equipment >> i spoke with sammy before-five times. i walked around just to get familiar with the area. i ran into actually she wants to come down tonight but because the whole voting idea she said she may not but in case you need some kind of letter she would be glad to write something up if it's required. but she was really forthcoming and we met the first time i think was one we still were doing renovations. she was very happy that we moved a lot of the equipment out. >> great. commissioner caminong >> are you open until midnight? >> were open tuesday, wednesday thursday currently from 4 pm-10 pm and then friday and saturday we are open 4 pm-until midnight. that's just because the neighborhood we want to engage first what customer base were going to get but we did not have the intention to stay very long unless somebody asks us if we could stay a bit longer. we had some increase for opening mondays, which we did have in the plan before. somebody wants to watch the wwf on monday nights. we thought would be a cool hangout spot for three hours so will look into that. so we don't open long. we don't do the same thing in pacific heights. we close at 8 pm and pacific heights. we try to be early down. not saving up at night >> you are aware the permit you're asking for is only until 10 pm? >> yes that's fine. i think the standup was from 6 pm until 8 pm or something like that. they didn't do it long. it's always 10 pm would be the idea. he used to be a green room for the [inaudible] so the will be mays be some people would like to play jazz and obviously they would like to go until 10 pm or something like that for the life >> are you going to be entertaining yourself or do you have a manager doing that for you? >> we do not look into that yet. we just want to get the ball rolling with the permit for the standup comedy. these guys are from day one have a huge following apparently so they want us to do-that he turned down several venues already because it was no permit and they were bit behind with filing a one-time application, and so i just said, look, as long as we have to wait, we have to wait get if they came in a few saturdays want to do something i said, no, unless we have a permit we won't do anything >> to have someone in-house in charge of the sound system and volume who's going to manage the equipment we pick >> no. there's nothing going to be that loud in the system right now. we can put anything in which can go that route. >> you have an existing sound system >> yes. it's not a pa system it's like a home stereo system with some macintosh and [inaudible] speakers. because of the jazz back onto idea was to play jazz were some there's no subs. there's no base coming. you guys: i think we have [inaudible] but there's no 20 inch whoppers and we don't intend to the one in >> was going be responsible to make sure the sound is not- >> there's not enough volume to go that high. the system we put in is maxed out at 150 w. that's not even remotely in a pa system. they can go that loud. i mean, at least we did not have a complaint from anybody. we want to keep the level the people can actually talk to each other so there was a lot of people that i think some of it was a very cozy atmosphere and one of the reasons was we had as background music to entertain people. i think that was the difference before. the previous owner got people in because the nightclub. our idea was to get people and for the year and wine and then have some background music just to have it running, but not to actually entertain them with the music. >> president of comedy is entertainment, right? >> but they just talk. you know. these guys they make jokes. he did yes that's entertainment >> i mean i just have no idea because i didn't think was funny but it's just a. no, they're very nice people. i don't think it's can be that loud. i think the noise complaints as sam told me was because of the 2 a.m. electronic dance music they play. that was just the people upstairs for whatever reason that the tenants actually said on my god don't do that but we said it's not our focus. we have a totally different idea. >> so, i've more than 150 watts in my house. so just so you know, but if you were soundproofed at all? i mean are you know complains that all? you have not done this yet, right? >> were opened and would play musical we don't play loud music. >> have you got any complaints? >> note >> none whatsoever. do you have any soundproofing? >> the ceiling whatever the soundproofing was before. >> so that doesn't work >> if i can interject, this is 222 height. if you remember- >> yes. nevermind. got it. yes. >> what does that mean? >> i'm not sure what that means but i think >> i will tell you >> this is the [inaudible] we ashley saw the last permit holder not very long ago. it's very different program than what is being proposed now. that was the place of entertainment [inaudible] i think you're actually asking for the exactly right thing. the limited by permit is in ansley ancillary title permit with the comedy were entertainment, whatever it may be isn't the prime reason people are there. >> yes. i think like i told before i used to be a dj for 15 years and that's probably not designed to be anything. so that's what-there's no point to do anything like that. so, we put like for background speakers in the place and obviously when inspectors show up they can see that but the idea was more, they were more designed for basic even the layout we been exhibiting out and put some seats in there. we put leather couches in. like a lounge, big carpets go people can just it used to be only a country four and too much echo effect so we put a big person kind of rug on the floor to get rid of that problem the echo effect. that didn't seem to help except [inaudible] because they wanted to put drapes with some kind of special spray >> fire retardant. >> yes >> great. i think events are sufficiently our questions. i do know there's others from commissioners? if not, one of you have ac. one recommendation is, know the painful full person could not come tonight if you can get at e-mail sent to us that that would provide us a little more >> she said it's no problem if it's required and i think she knew exactly what it is and she says he wanted to show up, but again the whole today with a voting and everything >> yes. it's not required but i think it helps your case. thank you. any public comment about this? public comment is closed. commissioners, you have a motion? >> i motion to approve the permit. [inaudible] >> so you will move to approve the permit with police conditions. item i didn't see any please condition to adjust the good neighbor policy. >> moved and seconded. let's think about >>[roll call vote]. >> the motion passes >>[gavel] >> congratulations. we will onto our next and final permit tonight boxcar theatre. >> so, final permit for this evening is a place of entertainment for boxcar theater. this is at 644 broadway st. boxcar is a nonprofit performing arts organization. they intend to use the new venue as the new home for the speak easy to identity i support about that before, but that's an immersive theater experience allows audiences to explore replica of the 1920s speakeasy in san francisco. they're really cool idea. the performances are going to include live music, cabaret, vaudeville and much more. the planning department has sent a recommendation and stuck it in there. it's not actually three plunged but i wanted you to see. they approved other entertainment use as permitted by right within this district, but alerts the commission that the components of the bar within the premises is currently awaiting a conditional use authorization hearing before the planning commission. the entertain commission is only proving the use of the entertainment for the space so it should not be a problem. the applicant of the neighborhood is an outreach that you'll see in the files that i've not received any opposition for this permit application. central station approves of the permit with the applicant's existing safety plan as a condition. as well as having bartenders and or tips train and having camera security footage maintained for at least two weeks. so, this is david back from boxcar theater. >> on the general manager boxcar theater good a professional theater producer did i been managing director the magic figure for five years. i also served as the mayor's arts task force and 25-26. the applicant is nick alabama. he's the founder and artistic director boxcar did he not here tonight because he zero personal. our rehearsal. our plan our private use of the space is two remount our production of the speakeasy. we ran this in 2014 very successfully in a venue and the tenderloin behind golden gate. we did 75 performances were all sold out. we left that location when the building was sold and or tenancy was terminated. we were very happy and lucky to find the location of north beach. it's a much larger venue and it's a very big step up for boxcar theater, which has been around for 12 years and is performed primarily in 49 seat theaters in soma and the tenderloin. it is now building a 9000 ft.2 venue for 250 people along the north beach chinatown border. the speakeasy is a immersive theater means there's no separation between the audience and the actors. there's no actual stage. you build this theatrical environment. not parties were doing a replica of the speakeasy and we populate the environment with actors. they can be 35 actors in the cast that way people from making 23. so there will were one veterans, there are bootleggers and comment. there's regular people from the group, to the city for a night on the town. many actors by people like the bartender and the club owner and of the chorus girls in the mc. the evening unfolds. the audience members tend to come dressed in costumes. sorry heavily encouraged and weep with costumes out. in your speakeasy it's often hard to tell who the actors are and who the audience members are until the action unfolds. our format includes--it is a speakeasy so the physical layout includes a bar, backroom casino and cabaret space and cabaret space we do a vaudeville show authentic 1923 vaudeville show. control of west, magician, horace goes, chanteuse, and comedy abbott and costello routines and so on. the event goes from 7:30 am-10:45 pm and were contemplating subsequent show a late-night show that would go from baby 11:30 pm until 12:45 am. how's that furniture and? >> i want to go. >> it's pretty fun. it's pre-popular >> what is your [inaudible] joe's clock shop?. it's one of the false front business. there's a lot of misdirection involved when you buy a ticket you don't get the address of the theater. we give you a wanted viewpoint reader supposed to meet some addressed certain way. maybe wearing a yellow hat. maybe reading a book of burns: getty rotary that we asked them what's your favorite line from howard something like that. if you're on the list the annual map to the theater and let's say a pocket watch to be repaired. so when you arrive at the theater the façade is not a theater it shows clock shop and you going to talk to joke you cannot pocket watch. he directs you to through the employee entrance, down the stairs. there is a grandfather clock. google open the rent of the pocket has a false back you step through. 1923 >> i love it. tell me [inaudible] >> family laundry is other false front visit. we are multiple entrances. so the venue has three entrances. this one is the skies is a 1920s chinatown london that pertain almost to where we sit on the borderline to do additional communities. in that entrance you also go down to the service entrance and you come out behind the counter with the employees would be. press the cash register and open the counter and then then you enter the speakeasy >> last questions at the easter egg room. what is that? >> the easter egg room good it's the show was very heavily scripted. the script actually over 1200 pages and there's seems happening simultaneously in six different parts of the floor plan. but there's also opportunities for audience interaction and one of the flavors is: easter egg room where an audience member will be invited by a actor to go into a private chamber and had a one-on-one encounter. it's not a salacious as it sounded just a monologue where i can than no other discussion back and forth between the actor and the audience member >> may call it an easter egg room because? >> that's a not of the had to computer games and there's some influence on in the gamer community on this theater project and so an easter egg in the computer game is when you stumble upon a hidden treat in the game world that is not open to the general gaming public. >> when are you opening? >> our intentions of our first performance on august 12 we actually went into her so yesterday was our first rehearsal >> my mother's birthday >> anyway, we just went into rehearsal. the 10 week rehearsal process. were sort of racing the contractors out of there as quickly as we can. so that we can stick with the power schedule and of course were working closely with the many city agencies to get all the permits in place in time for that first performance. >> i wish you the best of luck. it sounds awesome >> thank you >> i went to it in the tenderloin. it's really fun. superfund >> i been some stuff like that, but this sounds like so much fun. >> in fact i should put it my calendar summary. i think i saw these book event and i was like speakeasy tickets go on sale. >> yes are going on sale on monday. >> monday the 13th >> yes >> is it more than one level? it's not like you're going underground >> yes. so the location is a former new world cinema. at 644 broadway and that's completely subterranean. >> is it immersive we pick >> no. were not on the first floor or any of the other floors. that's other businesses on those were good ours is multilevel but expert level because the movie theater slopes down. and was 20 feet or more of ceiling height with the screen was. >> great. >> is actually gambling in the casino area? >> this fake gaming and the casino edge. we are very strict about conforming to doj requirements. so there's nothing you can't win a free drink coupons or a free ticket or even a teacher. there is nothing. you just play for bragging rights we give you [inaudible] at the end of the night. >> what is the status of the planning commission and the conditional use? >> are hearing is set for july 28. we've been encouraged by the planner, my understanding is that theater bar is using a permitted access radius wherever a theater is permit but there's restrictions that no alcohol sales can be allowed as an accessory use. so, we been required to get a conditional use permit to open the theater bar, but they lead me to believe the planning department leads me to believe that should be a formality. >> okay, good luck >> thank you >> will people be able to drink while walking around?
