The San Francisco Entertainment Commission voted to approve a Limited Lifestyle Programming (LLP) permit for Magnolia Brewing Company at 1398 Haight Street, allowing occasional indoor entertainment under staff-recommended conditions and internal sound limits.

Commission staff told the commission the venue recently changed ownership and the new owners re-notified neighbors using the required outreach template and a professional mailing service. Staff said there were no new opposition letters after the outreach, that Senior Inspector Rena set internal sound limits in accordance with MPC Article 29, and that SFPD Park Station raised no additional conditions.

Brandon Phillips, one of the new owners, told the commission the programming will be modest. "We're just looking to do something simple, like vinyl record DJs, 2 piece acoustic sets, nothing too crazy," Phillips said, and added that most programming would occur during brunch hours and early evenings, generally ending by 10 or 11 p.m.

Commissioners noted that the applicants had engaged with neighbors since the previous hearing, and that outreach had reduced prior concerns raised at the last meeting. The commission adopted the staff recommendation and approved the permit; the roll call recorded unanimous support from commissioners present.

Action taken: the commission approved the LLP permit for Magnolia Brewing Company subject to staff conditions, including an internal sound limit and the venue's agreement not to include outdoor amplified sound on the current application. Staff will monitor compliance and follow up on any future complaints.
