Ron, Thanks for including me in these notes. 

I appreciate you including me on the agenda, but I want to be clear that I am not supporting this change or taking a position on this at this time.

Earlier this year, a restaurant ownership group asked me to sponsor a change to the Nob Hill - Highland Sector plan that would permit liquor license applicants to apply for licenses if they could obtain permission of nearby churches (currently, there is a blanket prohibition on licenses near religious institutions).

Instead of sponsoring that change outright, I had our staff create draft language.  I agreed to sponsor the change only if the neighborhood associations impacted by the change endorsed the change.

It is my understanding that the restaurant group has been working with the neighborhood association to address their concerns and the Nob Hill Neighborhood Association Board is scheduled to take up this matter at tonight’s meeting.

Please let me know how it goes so we can consider whether to file the change or whether the association opposes it.

Thanks, Pat
