Patients/club members from the neighborhood or

Patients who need clubs that have easy/good
wheelchair access.
Therefore, we are hoping that some of you receiving this email fall into one of these three categories, and that you are willing and able to attend the hearing on Friday. Please let us know if you are planning to attend and if you are willing to make a statement.
By the way, please mark your calendars for the appeals hearing on August 17th at 5:00 pm. The following represents some very basic talking points you can refer to when thinking about the comments you want to make:
1.
According to a memo sent to neighbors by Amanda Kahn on Wednesday,
June 29th, The Green Cross permit was suspended due to violation of the Planning Code Section 703.2(b)(2)(B): A use that creates conditions that are hazardous, noxious or offensive through emission of odor, fumes, smoke, cinders, dust, gas, vibration, glare, refuse, water-carried waste or excessive noise. Who gets to define hazardous, noxious or offensive? Perhaps the bars in the neighborhood could be defined as hazardous, noxious or offensive. Should they have their permits to operate revoked?
2.
The complaints cited by neighbors at the last meeting have been
addressed with good results.
3.
Once the club received a notice of suspension, an appeal was filed
immediately. To attempt to revoke the permit before the appeals hearing denies The Green Cross due process. It’s unreasonable. A small segment of the community has both tried and convicted The Green Cross. The club should have the opportunity to respond to complaints and implement corrective action. Thanks so much for your help. Please feel free to be in touch by email or phone to let one of us know you will be able to attend the hearing. My number is: 510.835.1107.

‘best’ case: there is no nuisance and the permit is reinstated

‘worst’ case: nuisance is substantiated and process of revoking permit
