Commission approves live-performance permit for Puccini and Panetti at Union Square hotel
Summary
Puccini and Panetti (129 Ellis) received a limited live-performance permit for small, mostly acoustic acts on off‑peak nights; police supported the application and commissioners approved with standard conditions.
The Entertainment Commission approved a limited live performance permit for Puccini and Panetti, a hotel restaurant at 129 Ellis, to book small acts during brunch and quiet weeknights.
Jim Gurney, vice president and general manager, said the venue plans two- or three‑musician acoustic sets for brunch and select weeknights to boost slow business periods. He told the commission the hotel has reached out to immediate commercial neighbors and had multiple approvals. Officer Torres of the police station said he supports the application based on long experience working with Gurney’s operation.
Commissioners discussed amplified systems and zoning of in‑building music to avoid disturbing guest rooms. The permit passed with police‑recommended conditions, including occupancy and adherence to the Good Neighbor Policy.
Staff noted venues with no neighborhood opposition may be suitable for a consent calendar in future meetings; in this case, community interest led the item to the regular docket.
