Commission approves limited-live permits and a hotel permit; wix.com and Mark Hopkins receive approvals
Summary
The commission approved a limited-live permit for Wix at 500 Terry Francois Boulevard and granted an entertainment permit to the Mark Hopkins Hotel following a change in ownership; police stations reported no objections for these applications.
The Entertainment Commission approved two permit applications in succession: a limited live-performance permit for Wix at 500 Terry Francois Boulevard and a reissued entertainment permit for the InterContinental Mark Hopkins following a change in ownership.
Ashley Williams, Wix’s community partnerships manager, described occasional indoor programming — workshops, mixers and rare DJ events — and said the space will be fully interior and face away from residential areas. Bayview Station reviewed the application and recommended approval without additional conditions; commissioners voted to approve the limited-live permit.
Representatives for the Mark Hopkins Hotel said ownership had changed but that hotel programming and entertainment hours would remain the same. The hotel reported outreach to the Nob Hill Association and routine community engagement; Central Station recommended approval and asked to be notified of any large or out-of-the-ordinary events. Commissioners moved to approve the hotel’s permit application and requested the hotel present a short outreach summary in July.
What happens next: Both permits are approved; the hotel and Wix should follow any routine reporting or notification practices (for example, Central Station asked to be notified of atypical events).
