SUBJECT: RECENT PLANNING COMMISSION DECISIONS ON THE HOURS OF
OPERATION AND COVER CHARGES FOR RESTAURANTS, BARS
AND NIGHT CLUBS THAT FEATURE LIVE ENTERTAINMENT AND/OR
ALCOHOL SALES
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION
O n February 20, 2013, the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding a request
for approval of a conditional use permit that would allow the applicant to operate a
restaurant with an ABC T ype 47 (On Sale General, Eating Place) license and live
entertainment . Although the Planning Commission approved this request , the public
comments and conditions of approval led to spirited discussion about the hours of
operatio n and about the Applicant’s ability to impose a cover charge.
Afterward, the Planning Commission directed staff to prepare a list of approvals made over
the past few years that reflects the outcomes of their approvals of restaurants, night clubs,
and bar s that feature live entertainment. The attached table summarizes those decisions by
identifying the approved business locations and the type of ABC license the use received .
The table also provides the hours of operation of the use and for the live enterta inment
aspect of it, and if the conditions of approval allowed the use to charge a cover fee .
