Entertainment Commission tables Good Neighbor Policy revisions; invites inspector input
Summary
The commission voted to table proposed amendments to its Good Neighbor Policy until President Tan is present and invited Inspector Sean Burke to submit input; commissioners discussed the municipal noise standard (no amplified sound audible 250 feet beyond an event) and noted code changes would require the Board of Supervisors.
The San Francisco Entertainment Commission tabled consideration of proposed amendments to its Good Neighbor Policy until a future meeting when President Tan can participate.
Staff introduced proposed changes included in the meeting packet and asked commissioners for input. Several commissioners signaled they wanted the conversation when the president could fully participate; a motion to table was moved and seconded and passed unanimously. During discussion Inspector Sean Burke asked to be formally involved in any revisions, and staff encouraged informal input ahead of any formal proposal.
Commissioners discussed the municipal noise standard cited by Inspector Burke: amplified sound must not be audible 250 feet beyond an event’s perimeter. Staff noted that altering that standard would require legislative action by the Board of Supervisors. The commission agreed to revisit Good Neighbor Policy language and related RDR consent items at a later meeting and to schedule the item when President Tan is available.
The action recorded was procedural (tabling) rather than a substantive policy change; staff said they welcome written suggestions and proposed edits from inspectors and other staff before the next formal hearing.
