Apart from the pandemic, ART created a lot of what we’re talking about. I wish it could be torn up, but that doesn’t seem practical.

I don’t know High and Dry, but I’ll take Mark’s word that they’ve behaved like responsible neighbors. If I read the announcement correctly, a restaurant will remain on the site, which is a point in High and Dry’s favor.

>> Unfortunately, loud, fast cars and motorcycles are not unique to this neighborhood or city: this is an increasing problem across the country, especially it seems, exacerbated during the pandemic lockdown. Folks seemingly want to bust out. I live just off Lomas and in 20 years, I’ve never seen it like it has been since early last year. In my careful opinion, it has nothing to do with “drinking places,” most of which were closed for much of last year. High and Dry--this applicant--has had a very respectful presence at their current location in the neighborhood just east of Washington and Lomas for a number of years. This isn’t like downtown and granting licenses to brew pubs is nothing like creating a zone of strip clubs, like we have downtown.

>>> I agree with Lucille’s comments.  All these drinking places I believe have attracted to the streets of our neighborhood the racing and loud vehicles that care nothing about the people living here.  They just zoom up and down our streets at dangerous speeds.  It has gotten worse and worse in the near 20 years I have lived here.  I see this kind of business not as an asset but a part of the decline of our community.  We have now the legal drug trade and the war makers setting up shops here.  It seems we are we becoming a neighborhood for bombs, booze and drugs.  I say we stop this erosion of our neighborhood.

>>> 
>>> It seems like a reoccurring theme with businesses that can survive in Nob Hill now. One of the realizations I've had being on the NH B.O.D. is that the residents are caught between a rock and a hard place.  None of us want to see empty buildings on Central and we cherish our businesses. We are deeply saddened by those that couldn't survive high rents during ART and certainly got destroyed during Covid -19 .
>>> 
>>> Many of us continue to live in Nob Hill because of the hope of a return to the variety of businesses that existed at one time here. Quaint shops, etc.
>>>  Parking is a major problem!!! patrons spill over into the neighborhoods.  Our B.O.D. continues to explore solutions for parking.  I have been conflicted in supporting any type of liquor license without food being offered. The part that disturbs me the most is what will happen to Nob Hill when every empty building is filled with Bars and Recreational Marijuana shops?   Is this what we as a community want to see? 
>>> 
>>> Flora has lived through many changes in Nob Hill and has witnessed its erosion.  She is 100 percent correct!  The more bars we accept coupled with the Recreational cannabis coming soon, is a recipe for disaster.  Mental Impairment causes disruption on all levels to neighborhoods.
>>> Many owners of Businesses in Nob Hill do not live in Nob Hill which at times creates a disconnect between residents and businesses.   
>>> And as for homelessness,  It is already here and we deal with it on a daily basis hoping our approval of funding to remedy this problem will someday help those who are down and out.  It's heartbreaking.
>>> 
>>> I will continue to vote my conscious and support a variety of well rounded businesses for Nob Hill and will be cautious about giving credence to any industry that alters mental behavior which can negatively impact our Neighborhoods.  Ultimately, if dominance of these businesses continue, many long term neighbors will re-locate to family friendly neighborhoods.

The “available” properties on Central are held by a handful of property moguls who, clearly, have no problem keeping places empty to prop up unsupportable rents in the current economy and especially given what ART has done to destroy Central. I think it’ll be a tough go for them at this location; but see no reason to deny them a use the property is intended for. I’m aware they are a responsible business. I support this application.

The Applicant, High and Dry Brewery is excited to propose a public house as their second location in the eastern building on the property, which was most recently used as a tattoo parlor. There is also a restaurant located on the site. Attached are a conceptual site plan and building renderings and additional information about this request. The primary change to the site will be the addition of a patio on the south and east sides of the building.

We hope one of these days works for you. Please let me know which works best. If you determine there is not a need to meet, please also let me know, so we can proceed with our application.
