He also explained that window treatments would not obscure visibility into the restaurant. Mayor Pro Tern Coerper asked Mr. Adams to comment on residents' concerns. Mr. Adams described hours of operation and lighting concerns addressed at Planning Commission meetings. Paul Strain, resident of Pier Colony; urged Council not to approve the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the restaurant. He described the character of his residential complex, explaining that a lack of air conditioning in the units results in a need for windows to remain open regularly. Mr. Strain voiced concern that noise is magnified in the corridors of the complex and between the Pier Colony complex and the retail restaurant site, stating the project would be too disruptive. (4:21:13) Councilmember Bohr asked resident Mr. Strain when he moved into his residence in Pier Colony. Mr. Strain replied thirteen years prior. Mark Miller, Pier Colony resident, stated he is an original owner of property in Pier Colony and has always had problems with the noise. He opined that the proposed project is not a restaurant, but is a bar/entertainment center. Mr. Miller described his noise concerns and refuted the wisdom of reducing the size of the corridor for through traffic. (4:25:45) James Melton, Second Street resident, spoke in opposition to the Conditional Use Permit due to noise concerns. He commented on the theater, stating misinformation has been given regarding its operational status. Mr. Melton suggested the outdoor seating be eliminated or moved to Walnut Street with a tall sound barrier. He also suggested eliminating the mechanical bull and shortening the hours of operation. (4-28:40) RC Alley, Pier Colony resident, spoke in opposition to the project. He voiced his concern with the mechanical bull and with reducing the size of the corridor. He suggested either the bull be eliminated or moved to the back room; outdoor dining be removed or moved to Walnut Street, live entertainment be eliminated or located in the back room, dancing be eliminated, the patio be closed at 9:00 p.m. weekdays and 10:00 pm weekends, that a condition be added regarding noise, and that exterior doors remain closed during operation. Mr. Alley urged Council to vote "No" on the CUP. (4:32:19) Ted Frankiewicz, seven-year Pier Colony resident, voiced concerns pertaining to the project including noise and the effect on property values in Pier Colony. He asked Council to deny the petition or to require noise mitigation, added security, and flexibility for the City to shut the business down if conditions are not adhered to. (4:36;20) November 6, 2006 — Council/Agency Minutes — Page 14 of 21 Joe Shaw, Third Street resident, commented on noise levels in the downtown area every night of the week and stated the atmosphere is not always family -oriented. He suggested that the downtown area has a sufficient amount of restaurants and bars. (4:38:54) Robert Dingwall, Planning Commission Chairman, commented on land uses in the downtown area and stated that Pier Colony and the Pierside Pavilion were built for their currently -designated uses. He clarified that the only project use that requires special permitting is the outdoor dining, and that the required passageway would be large enough for public egress. Commissioner Dingwall urged Council approval of the project. (4:40:51) There being no persons present to speak further on the matter and there being no further protests filed, either written or oral, the Mayor declared the public hearing closed. Councilmember Hansen inquired about the City noise ordinance and asked the applicant's representative to comment on suggestions made by speakers. Project Planner Talleh described City noise ordinances, not to exceed fifty decibels near residences in the evening and not to exceed fifty feet from the entertainment source. Mr. Adams stated a compromise with hours of operation, locating the mechanical bull near the restrooms, locating live entertainment in the back room, eliminating speakers on the outdoor patio, and all exterior doors to remain closed when not in use were all acceptable. Councilmember Cook commented on access to the area and the history of noise complaints with prior businesses on the site. She voiced her opinion that the building should be demolished and rebuilt, and concerns with the doors to the outdoor patio constantly being opened due to entry and exit of servers. She inquired if glass walls could be installed floor to ceiling. Mr. Adams reiterated the applicant's preference not to enclose the area, requesting further discussion be held, if necessary, at the six-month review. Councilmember Hardy asked the Police Chief for clarification on outdoor dining hours restrictions and underage patrons. Chief Small stated the restrictions depend on the type of ABC license, and that minors may be present as long as food is served at a restaurant location. Councilmember Hardy stated her opinion that the mechanical bull would create noise problems and suggested window screening to block outside view of the bull. She asked the Planning Commission to research the effects of smoking in outdoor dining areas on local residents. She suggested banning smoking with this project, designating live entertainment be located in the back room, requiring additional sound barriers for the theater, and limiting outdoor dining operation hours to 9:00 p.m. on weekdays and 10:00 p.m. on weekends. Mayor Pro Tem Coerper asked the applicant to comment on security issues. Mr. Pena described security operations at his current business, the Huntington Beach Beer Company, and his expectations at the new business. Mr. Pena stated that to his recollection his business only called for police assistance once in the past year. Councilmember Cook suggested smoking be eliminated on the outdoor patio and voiced her opposition to approval of the CUP due to noise concerns. City Attorney McGrath commented that research would be necessary to establish findings for restricting smoking.
