resulting from the pilot street sweeping program in his ward. Additionally, it

zones on residential streets located within Tract Number 10260 (also known

Council Member/Commissioner Derry left the dais, stating that he would
abstain on this item because he lives in Foothill Villas Estates.
Mayor/Chairman Morris opened the hearing.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 2000-279, City Clerk Clark administered an oath to
the following individuals that they would provide true and honest testimony:
Darryl Jackson, 469 W. 59th Street, San Bernardino, CA, spoke in support of
the proposed resolution and submitted a document titled, Party Night @
Foothills Estates Community detailing the grievances of the residents against the
partygoers who live in and frequent the neighborhood.
Hector Martinez, 452 W. Aries Lane, San Bernardino, CA, Neighborhood
Watch Captain, stated that there have been nothing but problems in the
neighborhood since he moved in. He submitted for the record a packet of
various written transmittals regarding the problem.
Council Member/Commissioner McCarnmack requested that the Police
Department help enforce the noise ordinance, which allows for confiscation of
boom boxes, speakers, mufflers, and the vehicles, if necessary, from those
individuals who are violating the ordinance the Council has enacted. She stated
that she would like to know the number of vehicles/items that have been
confiscated; and stressed that we need to start doing this if we want to see this
problem alleviated.
Assistant Chief Goggin explained that part of the problem is the fact that the
officers have to first give these individuals an opportunity to turn the noise
down. He stated he would do some checking, find out the particulars, and see
what could be done towards more assertive and aggressive enforcement.
18
06/16/2008
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker noted that noise calls usually go to the
bottom of the list. He added that he was working on a letter that will go out
from his office to inform his constituents about the noise ordinance and what
options are available to them when situations such as this occur. He stated that
maybe this is something that should be done on a broader scale in areas that are
known to be problematic.
City Attorney Penman advised that Deputy City Attorney Grider prosecutes
these cases, and although several citations have been issued under the noise
ordinance, she is not aware of any seizures of sound systems. He indicated to
Chief Goggin, that if he could include Ms. Grider in any discussions as to how
they can start to do some of those seizures it would be appreciated.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Brinker, that the hearing be closed; and that said
resolution be adopted. The motion carried and Resolution No. 2008-248 was

41. Item Deleted
42. Request for a determination of Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) to
authorize issuance of a Type 48 Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) license at
100 West Hospitality Lane - Manta ManagementlFlesh Club
Terri Rahhal, Deputy Director/City Planner, provided an overview of the staff
report. She advised that Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 08-03 would be
considered by the Planning Commission the following evening; however, if the
Mayor and Council did not make a determination of Public Convenience or
Necessity (PCN) to authorize issuance of a Type 48 Alcohol Beverage Control
license today, the Planning Commission hearing relative to the CUP would not
be able to go forward.
Ms. Rahhal explained that a Type 48 ABC license is a general license issued to
a bar or nightclub which includes beer, wine, and liquor; while a Type 47 ABC
license is for an eating establishment that primarily serves as a restaurant where
at least half of the receipts come from food service. She noted that Type 41 is
also in this same category, but it is for restaurants that are licensed to serve both
beer and wine. She stated that in this particular census tract there is one
existing Type 48 license, seventeen Type 47 licenses, and six Type 41.
22
06/16/2008
She advised that staff's recommendation would be that the Mayor and Council
determine that the public convenience or necessity would not be served by
granting a new ABC license at 100 West Hospitality Lane.
She also directed attention to the memo from the Police Department dated April
22, 2008, which recommended against issuance of the Type 48 License at this
location.
Police Captain Kimball stated that Type 48 licenses-nightclub style licenses-
often times bring in ancillary issues and crime problems to the area, and it
would be incompatible for the Hospitality Lane area. He stated that the Police
Department generally receives more calls for service to the locations with Type
48 licenses than to those restaurants with the Type 47 licenses.
Roger Diamond, 2115 Main Street, Santa Monica, CA, attorney for the
applicant, spoke in support of a determination of Public Convenience or
Necessity to authorize issuance of a Type 48 ABC License at 100 West
Hospitality Lane; and provided background information relative to this property!
establishment and the City of San Bernardino.
He stated that the applicant should have been given at least a IO-day notice of
today's hearing, which was not done. He pointed out that under the statutes, the
City would not be making the final decision in this case-that even if the
Council voted to grant their request, it would still go before the ABC and the
ABC would make the ultimate decision of this particular issue.
He explained that his client wanted to convert the establishment from an existing
nude theatre into something entirely different-sort of like a sports bar with
alcohol and topless dancing-not nudity; and explained the difference between
the two establishments. He stated that they wanted to put in a kitchen, and those
plans had been submitted by the architect to the Building Department.
He pointed out that when a business is operated as a topless facility with
alcohol, by law 18- to 20-year-olds are not permitted to go in. Also, with an
ABC operation, the ABC is the regulatory body, and the City does not need to
spend police money to monitor the business.
Henry Empeiio, Senior Deputy City Attorney, advised that State law says
clearly that the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control shall deny an
application for license if issuance of that license would tend to create a law
enforcement problem or issuance would result in or add to an undue
concentration of licenses. He stated that an undue concentration of licenses had
been clearly stated on the record by virtue of the fact that there are more than
two on-sale ABC licenses granted in the census tract encompassing the
Hospitality Lane area.
23
06/16/2008
Mr. Empeiio stated that the one exemption provided in State law is that ABC
could issue the license in the face of this undue concentration if this Mayor and
Council, as the local governing body, made a decision that public convenience
and necessity would be served by issuing the license. He stated that what Mr.
Diamond was recommending is that the Mayor and Council give up their
authority and be silent on the matter, and let ABC make that decision.
He pointed out that the documents and the statements made by the Development
Services Department and by the Police Department clearly show that there are
ample grounds for the denial of public convenience and necessity fmding. He
advised the Council that if they did not make this decision today, then the
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control Board would make that decision for
the City. He stated that his recommendation would be that the Council go ahead
and make that decision today.
Mr. Empeiio stated that Mr. Diamond had mentioned that there is a pending
notice required by law to be given to the applicant to prepare for this hearing;
however, Mr. Diamond did not cite any section of State law for that because
there is none-there is no provision in the Business and Professions Code nor in
the City's ordinances that requires any period of time for the City to give notice
to this applicant.
He added that even though there is no State law requirement, or ordinance
requirement, the City had given notice to the applicant. He pointed out that this
was not a public hearing, so there is no requirement such as that for public
hearings, that a notice be given to any property owners within 500 feet, as a
Conditional Use Permit application is required to do-and for which they have
given such notice to property owners within 500 feet prior to the Planning
Commission meeting for tomorrow night.
Ms. Rahhal stated that Mr. Diamond was correct-this item today was not
advertised as a public hearing with ten days notice. However, when the agenda
materials were completed prior to this meeting, they were provided inunediately
to the applicant. Also, as a courtesy, she did notify Mr. Neptune by telephone
about this meeting at least a week prior, or possibly ten days, although he has
been out of the country and she was not sure of the date.
Mr. Diamond spoke regarding giving adequate notice and an opportunity to be
heard, which are essential elements of due process. He also pointed out that his
client did have an ABC license when the business was first opened as a topless
establishment, and he assumed this license was given up when they decided to
go to nudity. He questioned why they were suddenly disqualified now. He
stated that adequate notice would be notice that would give them sufficient time
to be prepared, and this was not done.
24
06/16/2008
Senior Deputy City Attorney Empefio advised that due process was followed in
this situation as mentioned by Ms. Rahhal. Mr. Diamond's presence before the
Council today was indicative of the fact that they were given notice and that he
had prepared and made his presentation. He added that the type or form of
adult entertainment is irrelevant to the Council's decision, as is the type of
nightclub or bar that is being proposed. In looking at the recommendations of
the Police Department and the Development Services Department, it states that
any additional Type 48 nightclub or bar license in this census tract in the
Hospitality Lane area is unAcceptable. Therefore, all of the items Mr. Diamond
has mentioned regarding the type of entertainment are all irrelevant.
Mr. Empefio also stated that in terms of the Planning Commission meeting
scheduled for the next evening where a request for a CUP is scheduled to be
heard-if the Council does deny the public convenience and necessity finding,
then the Planning Commission hearing of that matter would not be able to go
forward in terms of approving that CUP because it presumes that public
convenience and necessity would be granted by the City Council.
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Johnson, that the Mayor and Common Council
determine that the public convenience or necessity would not be served by
granting a new ABC license at 100 West Hospitality Lane. The motion carried
IInlln;mously. Absent: Estrada.
City Attorney Penman advised that after hearing the testimony today, the
Council should consider adding additional language to their motion.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Brinker, that the Mayor and Common Council
determine that the public convenience or necessity would not be served by
granting a new ABC license at 100 West Hospitality Lane based on the
documents and testimony presented to the Mayor and Council and the following
fmdings: 1) Hospitality Lane is primarily a restaurant row and caters to
families. Restaurants serve alcoholic beverages incidental to food. Public
convenience or necessity would be served for restaurants to be issued additional
ABC licenses (Type 47), in this censns tract; and 2) Additional liquor only
(Type 48) licenses do not serve a public convenience or necessity in this census
tract. They cause more nuisance activity and generate more public safety calls
for service. It would be detrimental to allow these type of establishments to mix
in with the restaurants in this area. The motion carried unanimously.
Absent: Estrada.
