Chi Ultra Lounge (917 Folsom) postponed so applicants can supply owner backgrounds and police input
Summary
Applicants for Chi (Q) Ultra Lounge presented plans for a renovated lounge and community outreach; staff recommended conditional grant. Commissioners asked for more complete ownership and hospitality experience documentation and requested Southern Station’s input. The commission continued the item to the next meeting to allow applicants to supply the additional materials.
Staff introduced the application for Chi (Q) Ultra Lounge at 917 Folsom Street, a renovation of a long‑running nightlife location. The applicants reported entertainment plans focused on DJs and occasional celebrity appearances and said they had held a community meeting on June 3. Staff recommended a conditional grant subject to standard outreach and sign‑offs.
Commissioners asked applicants to provide fuller background documentation for all owners and key managers, including hospitality experience and updated resumes. Commissioner questions focused on whether Southern Station could provide a written policing recommendation; staff said no written response had been received yet from Southern Station (acting captain). Because police input was absent and several ownership details were incomplete, commissioners moved to continue the item to the next meeting to allow the applicant time to submit the requested materials.
Next steps: Applicants to supply updated resumes and owner background information and to follow up with Southern Station for a documented recommendation prior to the rehearing. Staff will place the matter on the next available agenda.
