PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, OCTO BER 17, 2012 – PAGE 1 Pa ge 2 Chairman Murray opened the public hearing for PLN - 12 - 00199 (Conditional Use Permit), noting that the matter had been continued from the previous meeting. He invited staff to make their presentation. Community Development Director Saeki noted that Mr. Nguyen would make the presentation for Planning. Assistant Planner, Kevin Nguyen, presented staff’s report, reminding the Commission that they had continued this item with direction to staff to provide additional information for their evaluation and for staff to consider issues raised by the neighboring property owners relating to noise g enerated from the subject business. Mr. Nguyen noted that police records indicate there had been 11 calls complaining about the property received dur ing the last two years. In addition, Mr. Nguyen noted that ABC provided a disciplinary history of the subject site , which indicated they had issued a $3,000 fine to the business owner for selling alcoholic beverages to a minor. Mr. Nguyen stated that in light of the activities on the property, staff suggests implementing these additional safety measures: 1) that the sale of alcoholic beverages and live entertainment activities cease at 1:30 a.m., and the business close at 2:00 a.m., rather than 3:00 a.m. as proposed by the applicant . Mr. Nguyen’s exhibit showed that closing at 2:00 a.m. is consistent with past Planning Commission actions. In addition, he noted another condition of approval is for the westerly side door to remain closed during business ho urs. Mr. Nguyen stated that correspondence had been received from a ne ighboring property owner, Eduardo Schonborn , reporting noise emitting from the property. This correspondence had been included in the staff report. Mr. Nguyen stated that staff believ ed these concerns were addressed with in the recommended conditions of approval. Commissioner Kiefer asked for more information regarding the Police report. Mr. Nguyen noted that some of the complaints included: excessiv e signage; one noise complaint; a s ex crime oc curred on the property, possibly in the parking lot; and the ABC violation occurred in 2005. He noted the applicant was given the option of a suspended license or $3,000 fine. Jose Correa of Vasilio’s Restaurant, 7931 Firestone Boulevard, addr essed the Commission. Chairman Murray asked Mr. Correa if at the last Planning Commission meeting, Mr. Correa had denied having had any violations. Mr. Correa responded that he was referring to the last two years during which he wasn’t aware of any viola tions. In regards to the ABC violat ion in 2005, he stated that the bartender had been let go. He also stated that they do not serve lunch, but are ready to open between 6:30 - 7:00 p.m., and they are able to provide lunch or earlier dinner if set up in adv ance. He stated generally he wished to be open from 6:30 p.m., and would stop alcohol sales by 1:30 a.m., Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. He noted that after 1:30 , they allow patrons to finish up their evening while they are cleaning up. Commi ssioner Kiefer asked Mr. Correa to respond to the eleven (11) Police reports. Mr. Correa responded, one call was in regards to excess noise, which he believed was between customers and occurred in the parking lot. Commissioner Kiefer asked Mr. Correa why at the last meeting Mr. Correa had said there had been no violations. Mr. Correa again stated that he thought the Commission was referring to the last couple of years. Chairman Murray asked Mr. Correa if he had read and accepted the recommended conditio ns of approval. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, OCTOBER 17, 2012 – PAGE 2 Pa ge 3 Mr. Correa stated that he did accept the conditions. He responded to the concerns about noise and suggested a couple mitigation measures such as raising the height of the wall, or installing sound proof windows. At this point, City Attorn ey Garcia stated that because Commissioners Lujan and Garcia missed the previous hearing, they would be eligible to participate only if they had reviewed the recording of the rd October 3 meeting. Both Commissioners stated they had not been able to do so; therefore, they left the Council Chambers. M s. Garcia noted there was a quorum with the three remaining Commissioners. The hearing then continued. The Commissioners then inquired and learned the following information from Mr. Correa: he provide s securit y from 8 p.m. to closing; he understands and believes that he can comply with Condition number 10, that 50% of the gross sales must be from food ; he does charge ($5.00 to $7.00 ) admission when they provide a buffet; although they have used the rear door fo r entry in the past , he realizes that door must now remain shut and the front must be the entrance. Chairman Murray asked staff for correspondence. Kevin Nguyen stated the one letter from Mr. Schonborn had been distributed and addressed. Chairman Murray invited members of the audience to address the Commission. The following persons addressed the Commission: 1. William Romero, address provided from Bell, stated he was an employee of the restaurant. He stated that there are numerous employees whose jobs d epend on the restaurant’s activities. He stated that they will take all measures available to address the neighbors’ concerns. He also stated that the average age of patrons was in their 30’s . Also he said they have not had problems with crowd control, a nd only a couple times had to turn people away. Additionally, they employ three security guards. His position is manager and he keeps the operation running properly. Speaking in opposition: 2. Eduardo Schonborn, the author of the letter the Commission had received, noted he lived on the nd north side of 2 Street , but within 500 feet of the subject property. He did not believe the business should be viewed as a legitimate restaurant, but is much more like a nightclub; that Mr. Correa is trying to appease the neighbo rs. Mr. Schonborn said that he is able to hear the noise fro m the restaurant from his house; however, since he replaced his windows with double - paned glass, he cannot hear the noise from inside his house any more, only from outside. Mr. Schonborn suggested the Commissioners tighten up the language of the conditions to address hours of operation since the residential uses nearby are being impacted by noise. He felt Condition number 4 puts the burden on the residents to prove the noise is above the acceptable limits; and regarding number 10, suggested that the resta urant be required to provide proof to the public (of food sales exceeding alcohol sales). 3. Maria Correa, wished to speak in support. She noted that she has been employed at the restauran t for three years, and described their efforts to reach out to the residents in the area. She also stated that some of the noise complaints are in fact coming from the Norm’s Restaurant parking lot to the east. Mrs. Correa stated that they have had good success utilizing their security patrol which she closely monitors. Typically they have approximately 30 patrons on Monday, 50 - 60 people on Thursdays . She also stated that she has spoken wit h the owner of the adjacent apartment and they have indicated th ey are willing to help raise the height of their block wall. She described their menu to offer carne asada, soup and beans. Mrs. Correa asked the Commission to consider hours of operation of 5 p.m. to 2:30 - 3:00 a.m. 4. Mr. Correa added, the adjacent resta urant, Norm’s, is open 24 hours. He shared with the Commissioners that some of their customers go to Norm’ s for dinner when they leave Vasilio’s. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, OCTOBER 17, 2012 – PAGE 3 Pa ge 4 Chairman Murray asked staff for their recommendation. Mr. Nguyen stated staff recommended approval with the conditions as provided in the attached Resolution. That number will become 12 - 2795. There being no questions regarding staff’s recommendation, Chairman Murray closed the public hearing. Commission discussion: The Commissioners discussed the issues addr essed: noise impact s to neighbors; hours of operation; the fact that the restaurant had generated 11 calls to the Police Dept over the last two years; the facility is an acceptable location for a restaurant, but as a nightclub see conflicts with residenti al; whether or not to limit the hours of the restaurant, or just the entertainment; whether or not to approve provisionally and return for review after six months. The Commissioners clarified with the appli cant that the most vital days for his restaurant are Thursday thru Saturday and also on Mondays. William Davis, City Planner, explained to the Commission that the applicant currently has an entertainment permit that permits him to operate, and that permit does not limit the hours. City Attorney Yvette Abich Garcia stated that since the applicant has already been approved for entertainment by the Police Dept., it would be a contradiction to conflict with that permit. Community Development Director Saeki noted that the entertainment permit has a number o f conditions that include that the restaurant remain a “bonafide restaurant” and that the gross sale of alcohol no t exceed the gross sale of food, but did not indicate the hours of operation. He stated that the expansion of the activitie s requires the con ditional use p ermit, but if the applicant chooses not to increase the activities, his entertainment permit is valid. Discussion ensued. The Commissioners were in agreement that the restaurant could retain the hours they choose, closing by 2 a.m., but tha t entertainment and the sale of alcohol would cease at 1:30 a.m. Mr. Correa stated his acceptance of the revised language. It was moved by Commissioner Kiefer, seconded by Commissioner Morales and passed by a 3 - 0 vote, to adopt Resolution No. 12 - 2795, re vising Condition number 2 as addressed , and to require a review at a noticed public hearing in six months. Chairman Murray stated the action of the Planning Commission will be final unless the matter is appealed to the City Council, with the appropriate f ee, within the specified time period as set forth in the City’s Ordinance.
