Committee backs resolution to recommend Type 21 liquor license for Bar Ants LLC at 1275 Fell Street
Summary
The Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee voted to prepare a resolution recommending the transfer of a Type 21 off-sale general liquor license to Bar Ants LLC (Bidders and Bottles) at 1275 Fell Street; the SFPD alcohol liaison unit reported no letters of protest and recommended approval with conditions.
Supervisor Matt Dorsey, chair of the Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee, moved that the clerk prepare a resolution finding that the issuance of a Type 21 off-sale general beer, wine and distilled spirits liquor license to Bar Ants LLC, doing business as Bidders and Bottles at 1275 Fell Street, would serve the public convenience or necessity of the City and County of San Francisco.
The committee voted to prepare the resolution and forward a positive recommendation to the full Board of Supervisors. Vice Chair Joel Engadio and Chair Dorsey recorded “aye” votes; the clerk announced two ayes and the motion passed. Items acted on at the committee are expected to appear on the full board agenda on Feb. 4, 2025, unless otherwise stated in the file.
Officer Froines of the San Francisco Police Department Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) liaison unit presented the PCN (public convenience or necessity) report. The report noted zero letters of protest and zero letters of support, that the premises sit in plot 642C (described in the report as a high-crime area) and in census tract 164 (described as a high-concentration area). Park Station registered no opposition. The alcohol-liaison unit recommended approval with conditions requiring the petitioner to actively monitor the area under their control to prevent loitering and to maintain adjacent areas free of litter as depicted on the ABC 253 diagram included in the report.
There was no public comment on the item and no further questions from supervisors before the motion to prepare the resolution was made and approved. The committee record shows the motion to prepare and forward the resolution with a positive recommendation; the full Board of Supervisors will consider the matter on the board agenda.
Clarifying details in the committee record include the PCN report’s characterization of crime and concentration for the parcel, the absence of written protests or supports, and the specific conditions recommended by the SFPD ABC liaison unit. The committee did not record a named mover or seconder for the motion in the transcript beyond Chair Dorsey’s request that the clerk call the roll.
