Dept. ID CD 17-009 Page 2 of 3
Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
B. Continue the recommended action and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
On January 19, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2010-05, which established
standard conditions of approval applicable to any new Conditional Use Permit and any
amendments to an existing Conditional Use Permit for an eating and drinking establishment with
alcoholic beverage sales and/or live entertainment located within the Downtown Specific Plan area,
District 1. The objective was to improve the downtown environment by addressing late night,
alcohol-related problems. Since 2010, the Council amended the Resolution in 2011 through
Resolution No. 2011-16, and again in 2013 through Resolution No. 2013-24. Each amendment
refined, modified, and clarified the standard conditions of approval.
Many eating and drinking establishments in downtown were established prior to the adoption of the
Resolution and, therefore, were not subject to the standard conditions of approval. Recently, some
of these establishments proposed improvements and/or land use activity that triggered the
application of the standard conditions. This has resulted in hardship because these businesses
were required to modify hours of operation and close at 12:00 Midnight, despite the fact these
establishments have been operating until 1:30 AM or 2:00 AM for several years. For this reason,
on March 6, 2017, the Council directed City staff to collaborate with the City Attorney and present
options for modifying the standard conditions of approval in Resolution No. 2013-24.
Modified Resolution
Through collaboration between Police Department, Community Development Department, and the
City Attorney's Office, the resulting resolution modifies Resolution No. 2013-24 in the following
areas.
1. Responsibility for administration of deviations to standard conditions of approval. In accordance
with Resolution No. 2013-24, an applicant may request to deviate from any of the standard
conditions of approval as part of a Conditional Use Permit with a public hearing, and only the
City Council has the authority to approve such deviation. Therefore, the requested deviation is
first reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public hearing, a recommended action is
forwarded to the City Council, and the Council makes the final decision following a public
hearing. The proposed modification to the Resolution allows any decision-making body (i.e.,
the Zoning Administrator, Planning Commission, or City Council) to approve deviations from the
standard conditions as part of a Conditional Use Permit process with public hearing. This
modification is intended to shorten the process for requested deviations. All decisions are still
subject to the standard appeal process.
2. Criteria for evaluating deviations from standard conditions of approval. Currently, Resolution
No. 2013-24 does not include findings that guide decision-makers when considering requested
deviations from the standard conditions of approval. The proposed modification to the
Resolution establishes criteria for approval and guidance for staff in formulating
recommendations on any requested deviations. Criteria includes operational and business
characteristics, distance from residential land uses, available on-site parking, presence of on-
site security, established alcohol and noise controls, floor plan design, etc. This modification is
intended to provide clear criteria for approval.
3. Guidelines for revocation of Conditional Use Permits. Currently, Resolution No. 2013-24 does
not include guidelines for scheduling a Conditional Use Permit revocation hearing. Although
there is a process in the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance for revoking discretionary permits
when there are reasonable grounds, the proposed modification to the Resolution would require
a revocation hearing be scheduled in the event the business or operator has received
Item 18. - 2 HB -452-
Dept. ID CD 17-009 Page 3 of 3
Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
substantiated violations of the Conditional Use Permit, including citations for violation of any
City, State, or Federal Law.
4. Refines and clarifies the standard list of conditions of approval. The proposed modification to
the Resolution also refines and modifies the standard list of conditions of approval to
consolidate similar conditions, provide clarification, and update the overall list to be reflective of
current standards for responsible alcoholic beverage service.
Upon adoption of the proposed modified resolution, Resolution No. 2013-24 will be repealed. All
conditions contained in Exhibit A will apply to any new application for a Conditional Use Permit,
made subsequent to adoption, for the establishment of any eating and drinking establishment with
alcoholic beverage sales, as well as any amendment to an existing Conditional Use Permit, located
within the Downtown Specific Plan area, District 1. Additionally, all conditions contained in Exhibit
B will apply to any new application for a Conditional Use Permit, made subsequent to adoption, for
the establishment of any new eating and drinking establishment with alcohol beverage sales and
live entertainment, as well as any amendment to an existing Conditional Use Permit, located within
the Downtown Specific Plan area, District 1. All conditions in the exhibits are identical, except
Exhibit B includes Condition No. 13 which specifically addresses live entertainment. It should be
noted that remodels or expansions to establishments with existing Conditional Use Permits that do
not involve expansions of alcohol service or live entertainment would not be subject to the
resolution.
The City Council could continue this item and direct staff to consider an alternative resolution. One
consideration could be to amend this resolution by adding a requirement for a "written contract"
between the City and business owner, separate from the zoning and land use approval. This
requirement would be intended to address specific requests to extend business hours of operation
beyond 12:00 Midnight. Staff is not recommending this option.
Environmental Status:
Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain public safety

live entertainment.
