REVIEW OF AN APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DENIAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. PLN-1 4-00071 (REVISION 'B' TO PLN -12- 00215): Community Development. ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 14 -7514, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DENYING AN APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DENIAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. PLN -14 -00071 (REVISION 'B' TO PLN -12- 00215) AND THEREBY NOT ALLOWING LIVE ENTERTAINMENT AT THE WET BAR BUSINESS, WHICH OPERATES WITH AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL TYPE 48 (ON -SALE GENERAL, PUBLIC PREMISES) LICENSE, ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8832 IMPERIAL HIGHWAY, ZONED C -2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL). Mayor Vasquez opened the Public Hearing at 7:57 p.m. City Clerk Jimenez affirmed receipt of the Proof of Publication. It was moved by Council Member Saab, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Marquez and so ordered to receive and file. City Clerk Jimenez noted there was no correspondence received. City Planner Davis stated this item was an appeal on a decision that was made by the Planning Commission regarding a request by the owner of the Wet Bar to deviate from the original approved permit and is requesting live entertainment in the establishment. He stated the property is located next to eight single multifamily residences that would be impacted by live entertainment. The Planning Commission approved the applicants request to have a type 48 ABC license which required a conditional use permit for a casual bar. A year later the applicant included live entertainment in the establishment. During that time period there was an increase of police incidents at the location. In spite of these events, the applicant went ahead and submitted a land use permit application to the Planning Commission to allow for live entertainment. At that time staff prepared a list of conditions of approval in City Council Meeting Minutes August 26, 2014 order for the City to be able to control the activities. However, during the course of the hearing process the Planning Commission heard from fifteen residents that opposed the application because of noise and unruly customers impacting their quality of life. Based on that feedback, the Planning Commission continued the item in order to prepare additional conditions that would address the concerns of the residents. Upon the second meeting the Commission heard from more residents that were experiencing the same concerns. At that time the Planning Commission made the decision to deny the request for approval of PLN -14 -00071 because they could not make the findings to support the Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Mayor Vasquez asked if a security plan for the Wet Bar was submitted to the Planning Commission and reviewed by the Police Department and if so, was it followed as written. Police Lieutenant Murray stated the Police Department received a plan, suggested modifications but has not seen the modifications. At this time there is no approved security plan. Mayor Pro Tem Marquez asked why the original recommendation from staff was to approve the item. City Planner Davis stated it was originally approved because it would allow the City to place conditions and retain control. Council Member Saab asked at which point was the applicant notified that live entertainment would not be approved. City Planner Davis stated it was expressed from the initial permit application process and the applicant understood the conditions. The Mayor invited the applicant to speak. Luis Gomez, Wet Bar business owner, stated during a recent expansion the CUP application was completed by the Wet Bar to include live entertainment. He assumed live entertainment was approved based on the submitted application. He stated he understood the conditions of the original permit, but did require some clarifications which were not followed up on. He stated a hard copy of the permit was not received via mail until after they had already incorporated live entertainment. He stated taking proactive measures to include hiring a security company to prevent loitering. He stated the Planning Commission made him aware of complaints from residents and he has possible resolutions to their concerns. He is requesting approval for live entertainment. Council Member Guerra stated the staff report indicates the applicant was advised once that live entertainment was not allowed yet there was a second incident in which the Police Department found the Wet Bar to be in violation of their CUP. He stated that due to past performance of not following the conditions of the permit there is no guarantee the new conditional permit request will be followed by the applicant. Mr. Gomez stated the first warning from the Police Departmentwas due to customers dancing which he was not aware was a violation of the permit. During the second incident they did have live entertainment and the Police Department explained that their permit did not allow live entertainment. At that time they applied for a CUP to allow live entertainment. Regarding noise levels to neighborhoods, there are other businesses that contribute to the noise level but they are willing to work out a resolution. Mayor Pro Tem Marquez stated he is aware of other neighboring businesses that have live entertainment and may be contributing to the noise level. Mr. Gomez stated that out of all of the complaints regarding noise only seven residents reside directly behind their establishment. He is requesting a live entertainment permit on a trial basis to include operating hours of Monday thru Thursday 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday 7:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. excluding Sunday, complimentary valet parking and a cover charge for special events. Council Member Guerra asked if there were any police incident reports for the Wet Bar and surrounding establishments. City Council Meeting Minutes August 26, 2014 3 Police Lieutenant Murray stated that between May 2013 to March 2014 the Wet Bar received 27 calls for service, while surrounding business received between 2 to 13 calls. From March 2014 to August 2014 some incidents at the location of the Wet Bar included a disturbance, traffic stop, officer flagged down, medical aid in parking lot, assist Downey Fire Department, incomplete 911 call, check the welfare call, vehicle burglary, Municipal Code violation, loud music, and an assault. Mayor Vasquez invited the public to speak on this item. Shahira Malek, resident, stated this business requires a location away from residents and the location should have been considered at the Planning Commission meeting prior to approving. Alejandro Lopez, Wet Bar employee, is in favor of live entertainment because as an employee of the Wet Bar it allows him to be able to sustain his family. David Gonsalves, property owner, stated the owners of the Web Bar are making an attempt to address all of the concerns and they should be given another opportunity. Robert Duarte, resident, stated his quality of life has been negatively impacted due to the noise generated by the Wet Bar. Victor Montesimos, relative of the business owner, stated if given the opportunity, the owner is willing to eliminate events that impact the residents' quality of life. Jelina Duarte, resident, stated her life has been negatively impacted by the noise. Having no further speakers, Mayor Vasquez closed the Public Hearing. Council Member Saab requested a summary of the applicant's request. Community Development Director Schindler stated the applicant is requesting live entertainment in the form Disc Jockeys, customer dancing, live bands /mariachi, comedians, and karaoke. The Council can select which items to approve and type of music to allow. Seeing more speakers, Mayor Vasquez re- opened the Public Hearing at 9:38 p.m. Jose Duarte, resident, stated that out of concern for a conflict of interest asked if any member of the Council had received monetary support for his campaign from the applicant. City Attorney Abich Garcia stated she did not have that specific information available at this time, however; the fact that someone in the past contributed to a campaign does not by itself create a conflict of interest. Alex Landeros was in favor of the Wet Bar stating tax revenue is generated by people coming into the City and visiting our establishments. Alex Mejia, resident, requested the Council not issue a permit and take into consideration the surrounding neighborhood. Having no further speakers Mayor Vasquez closed the Public Hearing. Council Member Guerra stated the Council is very business and resident friendly. He understands the money that has been invested, however; credibility of this establishment has been lost due to previous violations. Council Member Saab stated the original business intent was a lounge and the Planning Commission cautiously approved the CUP based on that business model. However, recent decisions by the owners have substantially deviated from that CUP and cannot support this item. City Council Meeting Minutes August 26, 2014 Mayor Pro Tem Marquez stated he is responsible for the quality of life of the residents and he is proud that the City is business friendly. Residents have expressed concern for the noise this establishment generates and he is willing to approve certain entertainment that would not impact the residents. Council Member Brossmer stated there will always be concerns when a bar is in close proximity to residents and the Planning Commission should have anticipated issues. He requested noise buffers be considered at the location. He is willing to consider some forms of entertainment if noise can be mitigated. City Attorney Abich Garcia stated if the Council wanted to entertain allowing some live entertainment she recommended continuing the public hearing and allow staff to bring back a Resolution with conditions to include limited live entertainment. Mayor Vasquez stated the business owner's credibility and ability to self - regulate is lacking and also, he cannot approve this item because the business is located in close proximity to residents. It was moved by Council Member Guerra, seconded by Council Member Saab and unanimously carried to adopt the Resolution denying the appeal of the Planning Commissions denial of Conditional Use Permit No. PLN -14 -00071 (revision 'B' to PLN -12- 00215) and thereby not allowing live entertainment at the wet bar business, which operates with an alcoholic beverage control type 48 (on- sale general, public premises) license, on property located at 8832 imperial highway, zoned C -2 (general commercial). 2.

City Council Meeting Minutes August 26, 2014 OTHER BUSINESS 8. APPROVED A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MANAGEMENT PARTNERS FOR A PARAMEDIC ENGINE MODEL STUDY: Fire Department. Council Member Guerra stated staff already participated in a Paramedic Engine Study Workshop June 2013 in which it was made clear that the City was going from a lesser level of service to a higher level of service with the new model and the model was to be implemented by January 2014. He asked why was the City going to spend an additional $25,000 to gather the same information. City Manager Lives stated the City wants to make sure all available information is available to mitigate any future exposures once the City moves forward and adopts the new model. This study will provide the City with a third party review. The goal is to get to a place where the model can be implemented as soon as possible.

Council Member Brossmer stated if the new model is challenged the City will have information from a third party to respond. Council Member Saab asked what the length of time for the study would be. Fire Chief Gillaspie stated this particular firm was selected because of their quick turnaround time of 6 -8 weeks.

City Attorney Abich Garcia stated once the report is complete and the Fire Union is in agreement with the results, the model can be implemented. However, if the Fire Union does not agree the City goes through a fact finding process and this document will support that process. Council Member Guerra stated the residents need to know that fire safety is being impeded by the Fire Union because the City has already approved the new model but has not been able to implement it. Council Member Saab asked Fire Chief Gillespie if this report would be beneficial in the implementation of the model. Fire Chief Gillespie stated he is looking for an objective third party consultant opinion because the proposed model would be a significant change from the current model. His goal is to provide the best service to the citizens and he is confident the information will show that the City is headed in the right direction. Council Member Saab stated knowing it will be beneficial to the Fire Chief in his decision making he is in favor of the item. Council Member Guerra stated not implementing the model has already cost the City money and has left the residents with fewer services than surrounding cities.
