Staff Report - 6/27/00 4 (00sr42)
Communi Meetin :
The applicant held a community meeting on June 22, 2000 at the Peter's Landing center to present and
receive input on the subject proposal from interested parties. Approximately 15 people attended the
meeting. The attendees raised issues of potential parking problems, noise and compatibility. The
applicant outlined the measures taken to address the concerns. The aforementioned issued have been
addressed under the analysis section of this report.
A lication Processin Dates:
DATE OF COMPLETE APPLICATION: MANDATORY PROCESSING DATE S :
Conditional Use Permit: May 8, 2000 August 8, 2000
ANALYSIS:
The primary issues to be considered when analyzing this request are noise, parking and compatibility with
adjacent residential uses.
Noise
The applicant submitted a noise study that evaluated the activities associated with the proposed banquet
facility (see Attachment No. 4). Extensive measurements were conducted to identify the sound
transmission characteristics of the existing building. Using this information an analysis was performed to
estimate the noise levels that will be experienced by adjacent residential and commercial uses. The results
indicate that the maximum noise levels experienced at the residences will be 51 dB(A) from transmission
through the windows, and 33 dB(A) from transmission through the skylight. The average noise level at
the residences will be approximately 18 dB less than these values, i.e. 33 dB(A) through the windows and
15 dB(A) through the skylight.
The following chart compares the anticipated noise levels and the corresponding maximum noise levels.
Exterior Noise Standard
HBMC Chapter 8.40 Daytime Nighttime Anticipated Noise
7:00 a.m. to 10:00 in.10:00 in. to 7:00 a.m.Levels
30 min. in an hour 50 dB A 45 dB(A)33 dB A
An ime 70 dB(A)65 dB A 51 dB A
Based on City noise standards, it was determined that noise levels that will propagate from the facility will
comply with the noise ordinance, however, the following mitigation measures were recommended by the
acoustical consultant to minimize the audibility of potential noise to adjacent residents and have been
included as conditions of approval:
All exterior doors shall be kept closed during an event.
A qualified window installer shall inspect the windows and skylight to verify that they are well sealed
at the perimeter.
Staff Report - 6/27/00 5 (00sr42)
The windows on the north side of the building shall be sealed. Minimum wall construction should
consist of: a) 2X4 studs, b) Two layers of 5/8" drywall on both sides of the studs. The layers shall be
overlapped to eliminate continuous seams in the field. The layers shall be tightly butted and sealed
against the existing wall construction, and c) one layer of R-11 insulation snugly fitted between the
studs.
The emergency door on the north building facade shall be either replaced with an assembly that
provides a sound transmission class (STC) rating of 45 or a "sound trap" shall be constructed at the
existing door.
The amplified sound system shall be designed and installed by an audio specialist. Any microphones
shall feed into this system. The system shall be designed to provide equal sound distribution
throughout the banquet facility using multiple speakers in the ceiling. Speakers shall not be mounted
on the exterior walls or near the exterior windows or skylight. Large banks of speakers shall be
prohibited.
The amplified sound system shall be designed so that the DJ's control panel feeds into amplifiers and
equalizers that are controlled only by the owner of the banquet facility. (The amplifiers and equalizers
should be locked so that the DJ cannot alter the settings on these equipment items.)
A qualified acoustical consultant shall be retained to identify the amplifier and equalizer settings that
are necessary in order to minimize the audibility of the noise at the adjacent residences after the sound
system is installed.
In order to ensure that the above noise mitigation measures are implemented, staff has included a
condition of approval that requires submittal of written verification by the acoustical consultant
confirming compliance with the noise mitigation measures prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
Parkin
There are currently 798 parking spaces available for the Peter's Landing Shopping Center. Previous
approvals for the Peter's Landing development included an allocation of 180 parking spaces for marina
use (240 slips) and 462 for the remaining shopping center uses. The proposed banquet facility with
alcohol sales, entertainment and dancing will require 135 parking spaces. The required parking is based
on a ratio of one (1) parking space per 100 sq. ft. of restaurant area and one (1) parking space per 50 sq. ft.
of dancing area (750 sq. ft.). The analysis indicates a surplus of 21 parking spaces will be available on
site. The following table is provided to indicate compliance with the required parking:
Sho in Center Ocean Room Marina Total
Re uired Parkin 462 arking s aces 135 arking s aces 180 arking s aces 777 arking s aces

Based upon the parking analysis, adequate code required parking is provided and no impact to parking is
anticipated.
Staff Report - 6/27/00 6 (00sr42)
Compatibility
The banquet facility is proposed to occupy a freestanding building within the Peter's Landing center. The
building was previously used as a restaurant and music hall (aka Tibbies Music Hall & Ruebens
Restaurant). The building is located approximately 10 ft. from property zoned for multi-family residential
uses to the north. Two primary land use issues are compatibility/noise (see above) and safety impacts to
adjacent uses.
The Police Department has reviewed the proposed use and has issued an entertainment permit for the
project, subject to approval of the conditional use permit. Numerous conditions have been imposed on the
entertainment permit to minimize potential impacts to adjacent residential and commercial uses (please
refer to Attachment No. 5). Furthermore, the Police Department has recommended conditions of approval
to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) relating to alcohol sales at the facility (please
refer to Attachment No. 6). The applicant has agreed with the recommended Police Department
conditions. The following is a table comparing the proposed hours of operation and the staff
recommended changes:

Security guards (minimum of 1 per 100 patrons) are recommended to be required on site when
entertainment is present. Also recommended is No "happy hour" or reduced price alcoholic beverage
promotions. Sales and service of alcoholic beverages are recommended to coincide with entertainment
hours. The entertainment permit and recommended ABC conditions have been included as conditions of
approval.
In addition to the above-mentioned conditions, staff is recommending the following to control and
minimize potential nuisance and safety issues (loitering, formation of lines outside the facility, noise from
trash disposal etc.). These conditions will ensure land use compatibility with the residential and
commercial uses in the immediate area:
The applicant shall post and maintain signs inside and outside the facility prohibiting loitering in the
parking lot, prohibiting alcohol from leaving the restaurant, horn blowing, and loud radios. Post signs
notifying patrons that any car whose car alarm activates in the parking lot will be towed away.
The applicant shall be prohibited from having queuing lines form outside the banquet facility.
During business hours the operator shall provide the neighbors, Police Department and Code
Enforcement section with a phone number by which the manager or similar personnel on-site can be
contacted in the event of an emergency or nuisance for an immediate response.
Staff Report - 6/27/00 7 (00sr42)
If complaints are received by the Police Department or Code Enforcement the applicant shall be
responsible for submitting an additional noise study to confirm that noise levels projected by the
preliminary noise study. The report shall include additional mitigation measures to reduce noise to
residential properties.
Should the need for Police Department service increase beyond a level of acceptance to the Police
Department and Planning Department, the applicant shall be responsible for providing additional
security guards to monitor indoor and outdoor activities as a result of the banquet, alcohol and
entertainment use.
Trash shall not be emptied outside between the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m.
A review of the use shall be conducted by the Staff within six (6) months of the issuance of Certificate
of Occupancy to verify compliance with all conditions of approval and applicable Chapters of the
Huntington Beach Zoning & Subdivision Ordinance. If at that time there is a violation of any
conditions or code sections, Conditional Use Permit No. 99-77 will be set for a revocation hearing
before the Planning Commission.
SUMMARY:
