Billiards hall at 6232 Mission Street

Architect for the billiards hall project described plans for a quick tenant-improvement permit to possibly open before the Top of the Hill Festival.

Applicant described a vision for a safe, family-friendly pool hall with licensed security, new tables, lighting and cameras; asked the council to expedite approvals as he nears rent payments starting September 22, and offered his parking lot for the Top of the Hill Festival.

A Coldwell Banker Commercial broker and Westlake resident speaking for the landlord, praised the Khanouf family as a good local fit for the building.

Said the family wants a family-friendly, all-ages venue, accepts all conditions, but asked that minors be allowed until 10 p.m. and closing extended to 1 a.m. on weekends; also offered the space for the October 17 festival.

A 40-year Daly City resident and mother of four, said the city lacks safe recreation for young adults and asked for the 10 p.m. minor curfew so kids have somewhere to go after homework and sports.

A Westlake resident of four years, broker, and contractor on the landlord team, said the Khanoufs are professional and the project would bring something positive to the community.

Introduced his family, described plans for pool and snooker tables, arcade, hired security, and bottled beer and soft drinks only — 'just a pool hall,' not a nightclub.
