The San Francisco Entertainment Commission approved a series of permit requests on the night’s agenda, voting unanimously on a consent agenda item and several regular‑agenda limited live performance (LLP) and place‑of‑entertainment applications.
A consent item (one limited live performance permit for indoor entertainment) was approved with the Good Neighbor policy. Staff noted two neighbors had asked questions about an 11 p.m. indoor cutoff during outreach but that staff had negotiated conditions and would monitor 311 complaints.
Aura Restaurant & Bar (2368 Third Street) sought an LLP permit to offer live karaoke between 1 p.m. and 11 p.m.; owner Jackie said the business tested sound levels and intends to keep mixer levels at roughly 50% to avoid intrusion on neighbors. Commissioners approved the permit with staff recommendations.
The Grove requested LLP permits for two locations (Yerba Buena and Design District). Staff recommended separate approvals with standard conditions and measured outdoor sound limits; both locations were approved separately by unanimous votes.
Commissioners also conducted internal business: they elected Dori Camino as vice president and re‑elected Ben Blyman as president. The meeting closed after final comments at 7:42 p.m.
