A Request for a Use Determination for Banquet Facilities and Live Entertainment in the C-1 Neiohborhood Commercial Zone District. Kirk advised Commissioner's the item was a continuation from a discussion at the April 19, 2016, Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission provided general direction on adding both live entertainment and banquet facilities within the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zone district as uses subject to a Conditional Use Permit. Duing the discussion several points were requested to be included as either stipulations or evaluation criteria, as follows: . l\4inimum separation of live entertainment and banquet facilities from residential zones and Uses. No specific distance was identified.. Limitation on cover charge events as Special Events.. Review by the Sheriff's Department of proposed uses.. lvlinimize impacts on ad.lacent land uses, especially residential uses.. Live Entertainment and Banquet facilities should be limited to an accessory use to a Permitted or uses subject to a Conditional Use Permit The banquet area would be rented for birthday parties, family and job reunions, weddings, quinceaneras, and similar uses, which would all include live entertainment. The request identified that ljve entertainment independent of events that rented the banquet area would be conducted on the weekend. The hours of operation specified in the application materials was identified from 7:00 am to 2:00 am. The subject site of the business is located within the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zone district (C-1). The C-1 district does identify eating and drinking establishments as a permitted use. The C-1 district does not identify live entertainment or banquet facilities as either a permitted use or as a conditronal use subject to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The Community Development Director can authorize additional permitted uses when the proposed use has characteristics similar with the listed permitted uses in the C-1 district. The Community Development Director declined to make that determination. The Municipal Code also provides that the Planning Commission can determine that additional uses are condationally permitted if that use has characteristics similar to those conditional uses listed in section 17120.030. Such a determination is made by resolution and is not project specific but rather applies to the entire C-1 district. The applicant requested that the item be forwarded to the Planning Commission for a determination that the proposed use be conditionally permatted by way of a resolution. The resolution would not approve the specific project which would still require issuance of a CUP. Kirk stated that based upon this direction, staff prepared a resolution and memo which incorporales the mentioned stipulations and evaluation criteria. The provisions were added to require an acoustical analysis of the proposed facilities, limitation on hours of operation, and limiting amplified entertainment to interior areas. Standard Conditions of Approval have been developed to ensure that the operations of the proposed facility have unrform requirements. Based upon the Planning Commission direction and the additional provisions added, the inclusion of live entertainment and banquet facilities should not present significant adverse impacts and could be adequately monitored without a significant burden on City resources. The addition of these uses provides for adequate flexibility while creating a specific framework in which live entertainment and banquet facilities can operate. All Commissioners agreed with the request. Motion by Chairman Jordan, second by Commissioner Gray to approve a request for Use Determination 2016-01 for banquet facilities and live entertainment in the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zone district.
