RESTAURANT/NIGHTCLUB LOCATED AT 10877 FOOTHILL
BOULEVARD, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF.
A. Recitals.
(i) On June 24, 1987, this Connission adopted its Resolution No.
87-102, thereby approving, subject to specified conditions , a disc jockey
doing vocals for dancing in the Harry C's Restaurant on the southwest corner
of Foothill Boulevard and Spruce Avenue. A true and complete copy of said
Resolution is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and is incorporated herein by
this reference.
(ii) On June 7, 1988, the Public Safety Commission for the City of
Rancho Cucamonga publicly conducted a hearing to review the reports of law
enforcement, fire safety, and related public safety problems and reports of
expansion of the scope of entertainment beyond that approved by this
Commission and reconnended that additional conditions of operation be imposed
on Entertainment Permit No. 87-01.
(iii) On June 24, 1988, Harry H. Chan applied for an annual
renewal of the Entertainment Permit, as required by Rancho Cucamonga Municipal
Code Section 5.12.110, which included a request for expansion of the nature
and scope of the entertainment.
( iv) On July 13, 1988, this Commission conducted and concluded a
duly noticed public hearing to determine whether substantial evidence existed
to support revocation of Entertainment Permit No. 87-01. The Planning
Commission declined to revoke the entertainment permit and, instead,
determined that the applicant should be permitted to continue the currently
approved entertainment for a period of 120 days to demonstrate ability to
operate in conformance with the conditions of approval and in a manner that is
not contrary to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the public.
The Commission also added the following conditions to Entertainment Permit 87-
01.
1. No expansion of the entertainment permit is
allowed.
2. A minimum of two uniformed, licensed security
guards.
3. A hearing should be set 120 days later to further
consider modification, suspension, or revocation of
Entertainment Permit 87-01.

(v) On August 17 , 1988, the decision was appealed to the City
Council by the applicant. The City Council conducted a hearing and upheld the
Planning Commission 's action of July 13, 1988.
(vi) On September 28, 1988, the Planning Commission conducted a
hearing for the new Entertainment Permit 88-01. The applicant was requesting
approval of the expansion of entertainment uses. The Sheriff's Department
testified that there had been 17 calls for service since July 13, 1988,
including disturbances, public drunkenness, a fight, and a handgun
possession. The Sheriff's Department indicated that although they had been
receiving better cooperation (i .e. - uniformed security guards) from Harry
C's , they were opposed to expansion of the entertainment use. The Foothill
Fire District stated that they had not issued any citations since July 13,
1988 and could support expansion only subject to periodic review. Staff
recommended that the Commission not consider any expansion of entertainment
until the 120 days were complete. The Planning Commission concurred with
staff's recommendation and continued the item to the meeting of November 30,
1988.
(vii) On November 30, 1988, the Planning Commission heard
testimony and examined the facts during a public hearing for the new
Entertainment Permit 88-01. The Commissioners felt that expansion of the
entertainment was not appropriate due to public safety concerns as reviewed.
The Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to deny the request for a new
Entertainment Permit 88-01 and they voted (3-2) to continue Entertainment
Permit 87-01 for 120 days to the meeting of April 12, 1989. The purpose of
the 120 day continuance was to allow the applicant the opportunity to
establish a record of good management and safe operation.
(viii) On April 12, 1989, the Planning Commission conducted and
concluded a duly noticed public hearing to determine whether substantial
evidence existed to support revocation, modification or declining of
revocation of Entertainment Permit No. 87-01. The Planning Commission
approved a motion to decline revocation of Entertainment Permit 87-01 and
instructed staff to prepare a resolution for adoption at the April 26, 1989
meeting.
(ix) All legal prerequisities to the adoption of this Resolution
have occurred.
