Commission approves limited live permits for Scopo Divino and Demet’s with sound-test or standard conditions
Summary
The commission approved limited-live permits for Scopo Divino (wine bar) and Demet’s (El Salvadorian restaurant/Casa Sanchez location), requiring a sound test for Scopo Divino due to upstairs residences and accepting Demet’s family-oriented plan to host acoustic music to 10 p.m.
The commission approved two limited-live performance permits.
Scopo Divino (2800 California St.) requested limited live jazz; staff and Richmond Station recommended a sound test because of apartments above the premises. Owner Tim Heyman described ceiling soundproofing and limited programming; commissioners approved the limited-live permit with a sound-test condition.
Demet’s (the new tenant at the Casa Sanchez location) requested acoustic entertainment and occasional DJs to support a family-oriented Salvadoran restaurant. Owners Luis Estrada and Zenaida Merlin emphasized community support and job creation; MEDA and neighborhood representatives urged approval. Commissioners approved the permit, authorizing performances until 10 p.m. under the limited-live framework and standard Good Neighbor Policy expectations.
