this developer's request. He said staff received a letter from Fish and Wildlife with concerns
regarding the Delhi Sand Flower Loving Fly and the related biological study for the project.
Steven Flower, Assistant City Attorney said provided the Commission agrees. a condition
will be added to the mitigation measures of all three resolutions and will become part of the
MMP.
Jeff Bloom, DCM Economic and Community Development said Fish and Wildlife presented
two possible remedies: either a back to back seasonal study or get an assessment from a
biologist certified to perform Delhi Fly studies. Mr. Bloom said we recommend the applicant
consult with US Fish and Wildlife and confirm this is taken care of suitably. He said adding
the condition allows the project to move forward past the Planning Commission level and
allows them time to address this hilly before it reaches the City Council.
Jim Robertson, Commerce Construction said they understand the condition and their
biologist is investigating the situation.
Chairman Wimberly emphasized the Commission recommendation and for it to be handled
prior to the City Council hearing. He then opened the public hearing and seeing and hearing
no comment, closed the public hearing.
Vice Chairman Oaxaca said the project was well thought out and a reasonable solution has
been proposed for the concern from the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Commissioner Howdyshell said it is the highest and best use for the land and liked the
renderings.
Commissioner Munoz agreed and added that it is well designed and fits in with the
surrounding development.
Commissioner Fletcher said the applicant provided more than what we asked for, it provides
a good transition that makes sense. it provides jobs. commerce and revenue.
Chairman Wimberly felt all the main points had been covered: the developer has stepped
up.
Mr. Flower read the added condition into the record:
Prior to approval of a rough grading plan the applicant shall perform a DSF (Delhi
sands flower -loving fly) survey to determine whether the project may affect the
DSF and the results shall be provided to the Palm Springs Fish and Wildlife Office

K. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT MODIFICATION DRC2014-00774 - SSRB GROUP, INC. - A
request to modify an approved Conditional Use Permit (DRC2012-00057) to increase the
hours of operation in order to open earlier for an existing restaurant and bar (Sixty6 Sports
Lounge) located at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue within
the Specialty Commercial (SC) Development District at 8916 Foothill Boulevard, Suite K1.
This action is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, existing facilities.
Tabe van der Zwaag. Associate Planner, presented the staff report and PowerPoint
presentation (copy on file). He noted that he prepared the staff report and it has been
signed and submitted by Jeff Bloom, DCM Economic & Community Development. Mr. Van
der Zwaag called Deputy Kovensky to explain the memo they prepared regarding the
establishment.
Deputy Kovensky, Rancho Cucamonga Police Department. said she and her partner are
part of the ACT (Alcohol Compliance Team) and noted their inspections occurred June 1,
2013 to the present day. She said she is providing updated information (copy on file)
referencing many violations and calls for service to the location including a murder in the
parking lot. bugs in the alcohol, noise, outside speakers, flashing lights, open doors, refusal
to post ABC & Business licenses, not enough security guards on site, not using an ID
scanner, holding a car show and serving alcohol without a Temporary Use Permit, and
opening early without a permit during World Cup Soccer. She noted that there was an
incident involving a murder and although the murder suspect was kicked out of the
establishment, the Police were not called and then the murder occurred after that. She said
there is an outstanding fee of S575 to the City for false alarm calls as well as an outstanding
admission tax payment. She said all of these items were noted because the deputies are
required to do so.
Commissioner Munoz asked what type of response/tenor the deputies receive when they
ask for compliance. He asked about the bugs in the alcohol. He asked if the business
owner is aware of the outstanding fees. He asked how the Police determine if a call for
service specifically relates to this business.

Deputy Kovensky said they asked three times for the ABC and Business License postings.
She said they observe and document what they see. She said the fee issue was reported
to her by Business Licenses and to her knowledge. the applicant is aware. She said the
owners know what they should be doing as it is in their permits. She said fruit flies can get
in the alcohol. ABC knows that, it is a common occurrence, but the counts for this business
are above acceptable levels. She said the bartender should be diligently checking for them
every dayand they can be stopped with screw type tops or covers over the tops. She said
the City charges a fee for false alarms which has not been paid. She said their call logs
note the specific location. She said there is a variety of calls that pull our deputies away
from other things in the city.
Commissioner Howdyshell asked how many of these calls occur prior to the noon hour.
Deputy Kovensky said she did not have those statistics but said probably not many: most
would be after the noon hour.
Commissioner Fletcher asked what is causing the false alarms and Sixty6 and the Koffee
Klatch.
Deputy Kovensky said she could not specify that: there could be a number of causes. She
said drunks shaking doors, spiders in the motion sensors, etc. are possibilities. The Koffee
Klatch had none before Sixty6 Sports Lounge opened.
Chairman Wimberly invited the applicant to speak.
Bobi Bedi. SSRB group said the building was empty for 7 years. the wind can cause the
alarm to sound and they have clone what they can. Because it is a historical building they
cannot replace the doors. He said the murder did not occur in their lot. it was across from
the Flame Broiler: the person was drunk and in his business for only 15 minutes and he got
kicked out -he said the reason there was an arrest was because of their parking lot cameras.
He said the second fight occurred after the car show. He said Koffee Klatch has a band
louder than their speakers which are only 60 watts. He said he would buy dinner and drink
for anyone to come and hear that it is not his speakers that are causing the noise. He said
changing the doors would keep the flies out, but they can't change them or install airflow
units over the doors either because they cannot attach anything to the building. He said
they never have flies at their other locations. He said they have greatly reduced the number
of fly bottle counts down to 6. He said they can only have one small sign. He said they
cannot put anything on the walls. He said they are penalized because the building is
historic. He said they keep the doors open because they do not want it to be like a
nightclub. they want it to be more like a lounge. He said they have made mistakes because

help them out. He said nothing in their permits say the doors have to be closed. He said
their permit says they need one guard for every 75 people. He said with the boxing
matches they always have 3 or 4 security guards. He said with respect to the report of
flashing lights: the lights do not flash. they change colors very slowly, it is almost
unnoticeable. He said Koffee Klatch has doubled their business because of them. He said
seven new tenants have come into the center since they opened. He said they will make
changes that will work. He said he did not sponsor the car show and he did not provide
alcohol in the lot. He said when they discovered it. they called. He said they did make the
mistake of opening early for the World Cup. He said if they only have 6 DUI's then they are
doing something right -he said their bartenders are really well trained. He said their plan
does not state that they have to call the Police if they have someone that is intoxicated. We
do not serve them anymore and walk them out. He said it is not mentioned when you do
something right. He said with respect to the owed fees that he would pay thein tomorrow.
Sunil Sethi said the deputy has been there three times. He asked if she has seen any
improvement with the flies and if they are going in the right direction.
Chairman Wimberly said there could not be a dialogue between him and the deputy at this
time. He said their question can be referenced to the staff and to work with them.
Commissioner Munoz asked the purpose of the outside speakers and if other businesses
have complained.
Mr. Bedi stated they are only for games, they are not connected to their live music system.
He said the other businesses have not complained even once. They (Wine Tailor & Koffee
Klatch) both have live bands outside and they understand.
Chairman Wimberly asked Mr. Bedi if he is onsite.
Mr. Bedi said he and the partners are onsite all the time at all of their locations.
Commissioner Fletcher asked the deputy if she has observed any progress.
Deputy Kovensky said not all on the list are violations, some are just statistics. She said
there has been improvement in the number of bugs in the alcohol.
Commissioner Munoz asked Mr. Bedi if he is aware that a permit is needed for special
events. He asked. "N you knew that, why did you open anyway?"

Mr. Bedi said the only time they did that was for the World Cup. They had many requests to
open, so they did, it was the only time.
Commissioner Fletcher said he is on notice and he is assuming (Mr. Bedi) knows the items
to be corrected and that he (Mr. Bedi) had no objection to working on them.
Mr. Bedi said he will make sure those are handled.
Commissioner Fletcher said the Police only come if someone complains. He said you have
to take that into account. He said at night, at the location of this business, sound travels.
He said complaints have been received from the Red Hill area at night regarding truck
noise.
Vice Chairman Oaxaca said he has visited the site several times and similar establishments
and none are open before 11:00 am. He asked what they will be doing at 9:00 am and it
they would be serving alcohol at 9:00 am.
Mr. Bedi said the only reason is that Sunday games start at 10.00 am on Sundays and they
are packed by 9:45 am. He said they want to be sure they can serve them -breakfast. Blood
Mary's. Mimosas etc., we want to be sure we are ready and that they do not want to violate
their opening time. He said they would only be open on special sport event Sundays not
even on Saturdays.
Commissioner Howdyshell said she understands the importance of a missed kickoff time.
She said most violations likely occur after the noon hour. She said this establishment has
designed a business so people have a place to go if they want to watch the game. She said
a historical building does have limitations and restrictions and we should see what can be
done to assist the business. She said the business owners want to comply and we would
like to see them succeed. She said she also wants to move forward with staff's
recommendation for a 6 -month review.
Vice Chairman Oaxaca said the applicant has disputed/disagreed some aspects of the
deputy's report. He said many should be easy to clarify such as what is to be posted. doors
open/closed: we want clear agreement. He did not see how they could move forward if
there is anything the applicant disagrees with is in the permit language. He said he is
concerned about what is in the report and what they disagree with. He said he takes the
deputies report at face value. You need to read and understand what you agreed to.
Mr. Bedi said he did not see anything in the report he disagrees with but the number of flies
in the alcohol has dropped, the number of false alarms is down. He said they had noise
complaints in the first 3 months but none since then. He said with respect to the doors
open/closed. it just seems to be communication - if the City says they have to stay closed

then. they will keep them closed. He said this is the first he has heard of this.
Commissioner Fletcher asked about the report of stolen TVs.
Mr. Bedi said prior to their opening they hired a plumbing contractor that they caught
stealing TVs and that was one of the calls. He said they are not worried about the number
of calls. He said they want to make sure they do not have another incident like the murder,
they cannot call every time someone is asked to leave the bar.
Commissioner Munoz said we are here to help. He suggested they read their agreement
and understand it. He said they knew going in it was a historic building and that would limit
what they could do. He said they can't get upset about that as they knew the rules. He said
there is no joy in seeing the building empty. He said it is not the City telling you can't do
something for some other reason. Commissioner Munoz said the City wants them to be
successful. He said he did not have a problem with the two hours, but he does have a
problem with violating the permits.
Mr. Bedi said it is frustrating to see other buildings -they have better signage. He said, you
will never see us violate the CUP ever again. "If you walkout there and tell us our speakers
are loud, we will take them out."
Chairman Wimberly opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing none, closed the public
hearing. He then commented and said the City approved their permits and they agreed to
all the requirements. He said the request for more hours is admirable but there is a
compliance issue with the rules of the existing permits. He said he did not see for public
safety an extension of time if they are not in compliance. He said the recommendation from
staff is to give them the hours and then bring them back in 6 months. He said he is not
supportive of this request. He said when we see they can be in compliance with all the rules
and regulations then we can entertain the request for additional hours.
Commissioner Fletcher said the applicant would like to comply and are willing to comply.
He said he did not see a big issue with their request for two hours and how that triggered a
report from the Police and ACT. The ACT reported on what has gone on here. He said he
understands false alarms and they need to do what they need to do to reduce that. He said
the murder was probably people at the wrong location at the wrong time. He said 3 fights is
not a lot but security needs to escort them out and if you don't think you can control it then
call the cops. He said people may drink too much and get out of hand at a bar. He said
'calls for service' is a double edged sword -you are supposed to call to diffuse the situation
but it also adds to the tally. With respect to noise issues -make sure they don't exceed the
approved levels and be aware people may complain. He said uncapped bottles get flies -
cap them and check them.

Commissioner Munoz said it is no different from other restauranUbars in the City -eve ask
them all to comply -some have and some haven't. He said the Commission will visit this
again in 6 months. He said this can be fixed and their attitude about this -He said this is part
of doing business. He said you have a better opportunity to make money above that of
most people. He said he has no problem with giving the 2 extra hours -you made a
commitment -and we are ready to try to help. If you get the idea to open/close at the spur of
the moment -don't do it. He said the recommendation is to allow the earlier 2 hours in the
morning and then we come back for a review. He said this gives ample time to address this
and if they have problems, work with the staff. He said we have a great staff and excellent
police. they've worked with us before. He said they just report the facts. He said he
believes the business owners can do a goodjob there and he has faith in them. He said he
should read his permit thoroughly and get his staff to follow it.
Commissioner Howdyshell said she applauds the owners and believe the corrections will be
done. She said she supports the staff recommendation as it is important for the business
and the City. She said the 6 -month review is just a minor thing to do to look at where we
stand today from 6 months from now.
Vice Chairman Oaxaca said it was disconcerting to read the deputy's report. He said he is
glad staff recommended we revisit this in 6 months. He echoed Commissioner Munoz'
comment that it is all black and white regarding the fact that their permits are their guiding
lights. He said the applicant has proven they can operate various businesses in the City.
He said this is a new business concept for them: and even after a year or two there are
rough patches and changes that occur. He said he supports the request but noticed the
competitors do not open this early and perhaps this maybe anew opportunity. He said he
would like to see them re -visit in 6 months for the improvements. He said be clear about
posting their signage, security levels and continue good decisions demonstrated at the other
businesses. He thanked them for being here.

presented with staffs recommendation for a 6 -month review. Carried 5-0.
