right. the permit and conscience stand as is. and as for china town line dance me, we really used the board of appeals as an opportunity for further mediation between parties. and at that time, the board of appeals made the decision to uphold the appeal. but in doing so they add conditions limiting the where and when of the event through june. and still prosecute voiding the event and the ability to continue forward with entertainment. with the guise that the event would come back to us some time in june to amend their permit moving forward after doing community out reach. we are since heard the permit applicant is like low not going to proceed further with entertainment at the location in the street closure. we will continue to community

with them and see if that changesmented to let you know and update around the two appeals and just wanted to thank staff for their hard work on preparing for those appeals that is a lot of work when that happens. it is part of what we do. >> so. let me know if you have questions. >> thank you. >> any questions? >> from your report? >> no. comments. thank you to the staff for an amazing job hosting the summit. and we had a full compliment of commissioners the first time. >> yea. >> we did. >> so congratulations to the panel speakers. and thank you to everyone who participated. >> thank you. and your comment helps me provide a stat for you all. we did have a full commission in attendance which was great. we had 186 people attend in

>> good. >> we have received 74, 311 complaints since the left hear ogapril 16th i have one update let me finish you have questions. my update tonight is about sanria located at 2251 market street. now holds a one time event permit with our office and did not have a permit in place at the time issuance of the notice of violation i'm reporting to you tonight inform response to the sound complaint about thes out door amplified sound are all from the same person. inspector young rice visited on april 24 at 3:45 p.m. and observed out door amplified sound from the speaker afixed on the front of the building. held a jam permit and since the program ended the inspectors visited the business and spoke with the staff obtaining the

entertainment permits an extend duration or for long-term operations. deputy director has core sponldzed with the manager and owner about the permit requirements they acknowledged. the deputy director issued a notice of violation on april 25 for operating out door sound without a permit. positive note. since the nov was issued the business granted extend duration one time out door event permit to bring operation in compliance and staff encourages them to apply for a fixed place amplified sound permit due to the eligibility. >> greatest will thank you. >> any other questions about the inspector's report or other items? >> all right. i did one question one of the

items about the loud nonpermitted warehouse party. i feel it has been a minute since we had complaints about such a thing. in terms of the next steps on that. >> are there? i think may be deputy director could better answer that question. we did visit them. they are doing what we benched in the past. i don't want to speak out of line i believe they don't have assembly permits and i think she could speak to that >> i like clarification acting president thomas, on when address of the warehouse parties. there are a few out there. it is 33 norfolk street. >> okay. that dated 4/26 on the enforcement report >> yea, so senior inspector everything you said was accurate this is enzyme this is a co-op

that is we are still trying to navigate what it is they are doing there. we know they don't hold assembly permits and in a zoning location on the border of 11th with the night clubs they are in a district that does not allow for night time entertainment. most recently we learned they shifted the business models to be a co-op through the night. 6-5 a.m. artistic hours, workshop hours not entertainment. and not legal under the planning zoning controls. i have been in touch with the general manager or the person name is on the lease to convey this. but it seems like tell be a planning enforcement case. we had insfektors go this friday and it not confirmed entertainment they did not gain access inside. it was loud.

there was alcohol. yea. >> got it. >> i see that bottom's up bar is on the list. in my neighborhood can you give more context and update on that? >> bottom's up never been on our enforcement report that was a surprise to see. we did have inspector young rice respond to the complaint. spoke to the owner. she was transparents. they hold a poe permit operations all is compliant there is a new neighbor who move instead ajoining building and share a wall. and so they have verbalized complaints to the owner directly and found a way to reach out to us. through our inspection their permit is quite old and don't have an updated sound limit. senior inspector will work with

the owner to set one with the police code and we anticipate rectifying and educating the neighbor this is a legal use. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, commissioner perez. other questions or comments? >> seeing none, is there public comment on the report from the senior inspector? public comment is now closed. and the next item on the goodbyed. item 6 hearing and possible action regarding applications for permits under the jurisdiction of the entertainment commission. >> deputy director would you introduce the permit application on consent. >> we have one permit on content for a one time out door event permit out door entertainment with extended dur iegz a repeat from last year for third alley music series. the applicant conduct out reach
