Supervisors approve changes to entertainment permit rules, carve-out on extended hours draws split vote
Summary
After months of committee work and extended debate, the Board approved ordinances to amend the police code governing place-of-entertainment permits and extended-hours permits; supervisors retained a 15% annual cap on growth of extended-hour permits in a separate roll-call with one no vote.
The Board of Supervisors on Nov. 3 voted to amend the police code to revise place-of-entertainment permits, board of appeals procedures and rules governing extended-hours premises permits, including changes to penalties.
Supporters described the legislation as a compromise intended to give the Entertainment Commission additional enforcement tools while balancing neighborhood quality-of-life concerns and the city's nighttime economy. Supervisor Dufty said the package "provid[es] meaningful tools to the entertainment commission" to address establishments with problems and help ensure responsible operators are rewarded.
