Commission allows entertainment seven nights for Irish Times (500 Sacramento) after amended security plan
Summary
The commission approved a place-of-entertainment permit for the Irish Times at 500 Sacramento (49-occupancy), accepted an amended security plan and voted to remove a proposed three-night limit so the venue may host entertainment any night, subject to standard conditions and sound inspection.
The commission considered an application for entertainment at the Irish Times, 500 Sacramento Street, a small 49-person bar in the Financial District. Staff said planning views the use as permanent and that the police had provided conditions by email because Central Station officers were committed to Chinese New Year parade duties.
A consultant for the owners described the venue's intention to present low-level music, karaoke and occasional DJs and explained that occupancy is 49 with one door person (the owner) checking IDs at the entrance. The applicants provided an amended security plan at the meeting for commissioners to review.
Officer Degner (Central Station representative) told the commission the police department did not object to allowing entertainment any night of the week, though police encouraged discretion about nightly carte blanche and suggested the applicants maintain communications with PD for special events. During discussion commissioners proposed striking a three-night-per-week limitation and allowing entertainment seven nights a week under standard commission conditions (sound inspection, Good Neighbor Policy, loitering law compliance).
A motion to approve the permit and remove the three-night limitation was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Commissioners congratulated the applicants and advised them to pass the Entertainment Commission sound inspection and otherwise abide by the standard conditions.
The action was completed by voice vote; no roll-call tally appears in the transcript.
