Mike Healey - 304 Kentucky - compliments staff on draft; has 2 comments to make 21 a good document better; substitute 30 days for 6 months; (Section 21- 430.22(B)(3) 22 and suggests being more specific in Section 21.- 430.10. 23 Dick Sharkey - McDowell 'Drug and Alcohol Task Force - 28 local minors have 24 died since 1982 from drug /alcohol related incidents; adults purchase alcohol for 25 minors in Petaluma; supports these regulations but urges that they be expanded to 26 address: off -site sales as well. 7 Victor Thuesen - 1.4 Martha - proposed Ordinance is a step in the right direction; 8 this Ordinance may, however; be passed without seeing much difference; this 9 community is becoming embarrassing (newspaper articles regarding alcoholic 30 beverage establishments); question: what are obstacles to requiring CUP for 31 existing ;businesses? Why would a business like Kodiak Jacks be allowed to 32 operate without a use permit? 33 Planning'_ Director Tuft - Once a use has been legally established, the City can't go 34 back and require changes to that use; pre- existing uses have a vested right - this is 35 a fundamental land use principle. 36 Victor Thuesen - Requests City Attorney be directed to research question - Why 37 can't an existing business be directed to obtain a CUP if these amendments are 38 enacted? When Kickers opened in 1.992, there was nothing to compare it to 39 (noise); it is a huge concrete noise box: it does not :fit any definition of a bar; 40 nuisances abatement procedures in the Municipal Code need to be revised to make 41 them more definite, easier for the City to use and more effective. 42 Jeff Harriman - owner, McNear's Bar - most businesses do a good job at policing 43 themselves many additional regulations being proposed that affect viability of 44 restaurant /bar business, police require payment for services if called more than 3 45 times per year - discourages calls when needed; wants to work with City staff to try 46 to work out any problems: 47 Larry Finkel - McDowell Drug /Alcohol Task Force - downtown on Friday or 48 Saturday; nights is like a Marine Corps base hang - out; customers go from one bar 49 to another, Police can vouch for problems downtown; at very least, responsible 50 hospitality'training should be required of all existing businesses. 1 1 Captain at Parks - Petaluma Police Department - City has a history of problems 2 with bars for the last 20 years, Planning should be applauded for efforts on these 3 regulations; this Ordinance is a step in the right direction; Police Department 4 strongly encourages passage of this Ordinance. 2 278 Planning Commission Minutes - September 13, 1994 Mr. Sheridan - operator of BrickHouse - serves beer and wine, alternative to bars; does not have a kitchen, but serves food, concerned about whoisi served; concerns with cost of training all employees; works downtown Thursday through Saturday nights - it is not as wild /horrible as everyone is implying. Lawrence Longenbaugh - 225 Kentucky - supports' amendments; proliferation of bars downtown, glad to see activity /vitality of downtown, but there is a problem which needs City regulation. Jason Matthews - Manager of Steamer Gold Landing - business has been in place for 18 years; generated tax revenue for the City; has on -site security; proposed regulations will place undue burden on legally operating businesses because of irresponsible operators. Principal Planner McCann - responded to questions and noted that existing businesses won't have to apply- for use permits, they will. be legal, non - conforming uses; further, these regulations will not effect the operation of existing use's unless they expand or change their mode or manner of operation. Commissioner vonRaesfeld - Problem with generic definition of alcoholic beverage establishments; believes that large, multi -event bars are inappropriate for most locations in town and that such uses should not be allowed; smaller bars like Mario and John's Andresen's, etc. are what has typically been considered, to be a bar - they are neighborhood bar rather 'than community -wide or even regionally drawing. Principal Planner McCann - clarification can be attempted in Zoning Ordinance; suggested that appropriateness of specific proposed use would be considered as a part of the CUP process but that criteria should be built into these regulations as a basis for denial. Chairman Thompson /Commissioner Parkerson - agreed that more definition on this point'is needed. Planning Director Tuft - Agrees with Commission comments regarding definition of alcoholic beverage establishments. Commissioner Rahman - wants to see7 somethibg in writing from City Attorney regarding retroactive Zoning Ordinance administration. Commissioner Parkerson - would like to move this along. Chairman. Thompson - Agrees with Commissioner. Parkerson. Commissioner Stompe - supports CUP concept,' is it common to have distance requirements for different uses? can fees be waived for existing uses? Planni_ng_,Director Tuft - it might be possible not to charge some filing fees, but . noticing fees would have to be charged. Chairman Thompson: questions distance issue. Commissioner Stompe - would like to see an incentive program to help pay for responsible beverage training; would like this to be retroactive to existing legal businesses. Principal Planner McCann - there may be legal questions -if these regulations regarding existing uses were made more stringent. Commissioner Rahman - This should be expanded to address off -site sales establishments. Planning Director Tuft - We would have to renotice and bring this back to Planning Commission again - will prepare additional regulations for consideration. Chairman.Thompson - This should return soon. Commissioner Torliatt - not in favor of placing :more restrictions on downtown area; enforcement of CUP process should be `more expedient. A motion was made by Commissioner Parkerson and seconded by Commissioner vonRaesfeld to find . the proposed amendments to the 'Zoning Ordinance to be 3 Planning Commission Minutes - September 13, 1994 1. exempt from the requirements of CEOA and recommend to the City Council 2 adoption of the amendments based on the findings, including discussion at this 3 meeting, listed in the staff report. 4 5 COMMISSIONER PARKERSON: Yes 6 COMMISSIONER RAHMAN: Yes 7 CHAIRPERSON THOMPSON: Yes 8 COMMISSIONER WICK: No (feels off -site sale establishments should be 9 discussed at same time) 10 COMMISSIONER STOMPS: Yes 11 COMMISSIONER TORLIATT: Yes COMMISSIONER vonRAESFELD: Yes Findines 1.

Commissioner Tcrl'iatt - You- don't think capacity will go up with live entertainment? Waynel Vieler - Business - should just be steady, more stable. Commissioner `Torliatt Are people waiting on the sidewalk to be let in? Wayne Vieler - No, there is a wafting area inside. Jason Matthews - Mr. Vieler is already charging for dance lessons; he is already charging for dance lessons and a cover charge. Mike Healey There is a very rear noise problem; the business is too close to residences music. is definitely coming from Kodiak Jack's;' deny this CUP request. Commissioner Rahman - Guadal'ajara, Bar is less noisy than Kodiak Jack's? Mike Healey - Not in direct hearing line of Guadalajara Bar, so Kodiak Jack's is noisier. David.
