In a pivotal San Francisco County meeting, the board unanimously supported the issuance of a Type 90 on-sale general music venue liquor license for Le Petit Paris 75 LLC, operating as Panama SF at 523 Broadway Street. This decision, which aims to enhance public convenience and necessity, comes with specific conditions to ensure community safety and order.
The board's approval followed a report indicating no letters of protest or support from the public, despite the venue's location in a high-crime area. Officer Froines presented the case, highlighting the need for the establishment to actively monitor its surroundings to prevent loitering and maintain cleanliness. Additionally, the venue will be required to employ two licensed security guards during live entertainment to ensure the safety and enjoyment of nearby residents.
The motion to send the resolution to the full board received enthusiastic backing, with all members voting in favor. This decision marks a significant step in the ongoing development of San Francisco's nightlife and entertainment scene, reflecting the city's commitment to balancing vibrant cultural offerings with community safety. The board's next steps will involve finalizing the resolution for broader approval.
