Votes at a glance: Board approves multiple routine licenses and appointments; amends CEQA findings for hospital easement
Summary
The board adopted multiple routine resolutions and license transfers by same‑house or roll call votes, including amendments to CEQA findings for a subsurface easement for the Chinese Hospital replacement project and several liquor‑license approvals. One appointment and an excuse motion were also approved.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted a number of routine consent and adoption items on April 16, including license determinations, an amended CEQA finding for a hospital project easement, and appointments.
Key adopted items (selected):
- Item 7: Resolution approving a subsurface tieback easement to the Chinese Hospital Association required for the Chinese Hospital Replacement Project. President Chu circulated technical amendments to the CEQA findings and the board adopted those technical amendments and then passed the item as amended on the floor.
- Item 15: Resolution determining that issuance of a Type 42 (on‑sale beer and wine) license for Shark Chen Golf, doing business as Eagle Club Indoor Golf at 555 Howard Street, will serve the public convenience; adopted by same‑house, same‑call.
- Item 26: Resolution determining a Type 42 on‑sale beer and wine public premises license for Zaza Spa at 543 Second Street will serve the public convenience; roll call recorded 11 ayes.
- Items 27–29: Resolutions determining that liquor licenses/transfers for FM Smokes and Wines (57 New Montgomery), O Camino/Nozeria (transfer to 500 Laguna Street), and Caesar's Ballroom (82020 Sixth Street) will serve the public convenience; each adopted (same house, same call or without objection).
- Item 30: Motion appointing Supervisor Eric Maher (term ending 06/30/2013) to the Association of Bay Area Governments' Executive Board and related motions; adopted. A separate motion to excuse Supervisor Marr for a particular matter was moved by Supervisor Farrell, seconded by Supervisor Cohen, and approved (10 ayes recorded).
Several other consent items (1–14, 16–18, 21, 28) and routine matters were adopted earlier in the meeting on same‑house, same‑call votes.
Why it matters: These items are routine operational approvals and ministerial votes enabling permits, transfers, easements and board representation on regional bodies. The CEQA technical amendments tied to the Chinese Hospital easement were handled on the floor before passage.
Vote notes: Where the transcript recorded roll calls, the transcript includes explicit counts (for example, item 26 recorded 11 ayes). Many resolutions passed by the same‑house, same‑call method without a recorded roll‑call tally in the transcript.
Items summarized here were adopted at the meeting unless noted as failed or deferred.
