Oceanside highly engineered but things can go wrong. He asked what the protocol is if there is a
spill.

appropriate background, He said he is aware certain conditions are imposed on the project, it is a
highly regulated business, they have specific procedures to follow and he indicated in his opinion,

Mr. Eddie Lakees, one of the two applicants; stated that he would like clarification on the ID
Scanner that is hart of the Resolution on Page A-27, Number 2, requiring an identity card scanner
that automates and documents the age verification process by scanning an ID through a card
reader. He wanted to make sure this personal information would only be for the Police Department
usage and how long they would keep this information:
Deputy Pahia responded that the information is only held for 30 days and they are only looking for
specific things (information):
r.; Eddie Lakkees continued by asking about Page -29, Dumber 12 and the L.E.AD. program
requirement. He asked if it would be possible for one of their managers to be trained as an
instructor in the L.E.A.D. program:
Planning Director Meeting 1 April 24, 212
Deputy Pahia said that instructor training is now taking about 90 days and encouraged the
applicants to create and submit a list of possible trainees to the Police Department and they will add
them in to one of their scheduled trainings.
Mr, Robbie Lakkees,the second applicant, added that it was very much like a food handlers license
though more extensive,
Mrs. Buquet stated that they reviewed the incident logs attached to the Staff Report(from May 2010
through March 2012)and many of the calls listed are due to the cleaning crew setting off the alarms,
She stated that they actually had only 16 calls for service during this period. She further stated that
some of the calls happened when the business was closed or with incidents that were out of their
control including a restraining order issue,
Mr, Henderson stated that this business is below the City average in number of Police Department
service calls.
Deputy Pahia concurred with this finding.
Mr. Granger asked if any members of the public wished to speak.
Ms. Eleanor Miller, 9999 Foothill Boulevard,stated that she was ashamed that more members of the
public weren't present. She stated that she lives across the street and is worried about late at night
drunks running across the street. She stated that she has lived there for 19 years, 20 years in July,
and that the door is always open and the noise is heard all the way to the back of the mobile home
park where she lives. She went on to say that a restaurant and bar is one thing but a nightclub is
another thing, She stated that she is clearly outvoted in this matter.
Mr. Granger asked if there were any other comments from the public. Hearing none, he went on to
ask Mr. Henderson the hours of operation of the business.
Mr. Henderson stated that the mobile home park is not directly across the street from Rock the
Keys, it is 1/2 block down.
Ms. Miller stated that it can be seen from the driveway of the park.
Mr. Henderson stated that the hours of operation are from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Monday through
Sunday,though some of that time is used for restock time. He further stated that the hours are the
same as currently approved.
Mr. Robbie Lakkees stated that the physical location of the Pines Mobile Home Park is down the
street.
Mr. Eddie Lakkees agreed and thought that maybe she was confused with the old Margaritaville Bar
down the street.
Mr. Granger asked the applicants if the doors are open all the time to the bar,
Mr. Ryan Wagers, the General Manager for Rock the Keys, stated that they have 2 doors that stay
open and have been open for 12 years, He went on to say the south door that faces Foothill
Boulevard is never open, just the west doors.
Mr. Granger again asked the applicants if the doors were continuously open,
Planning Director Meeting 2 April 24, 2012
Mr, Wagers stated that the doors that are open lead into the dueling pianos area that has amplified
music but is not loud. He went on to say that the nightclub is actually below and separated by glass
with very little noise heard outside,
Mr, Granger stated that hearing no further comments, he closed the public hearing. He called for a
short recess at 2:21 p.m.
Mr, Granger reconvened the Planning Director meeting at 2:27 p.m- and asked Deputy Bahia to
address sound issues and changes of intensity.
Deputy Pahia stated that he has visited Rock the Keys and usually in plainclothes in his position as
part of the Alcohol Compliance Team, He stated that all noise levels have been within acceptable
limits, with some crowds, but that is to be expected, Margaritaville Bar was a problem in the past,
but they are no longer in existence. He further stated that he and Deputy Wright have audited the
liquor consumption in relation to their food consumption but found it was not significant. He has also
worked successfully with the owners regarding setting up L.E.A.D. classes for their employees,

meeting or a special activity on a holiday.
Ms. Burnett stated the City understands that occasionally meetings do run over and that the Church

the hours are limited on Saturday and Sunday. She explained if the hours are not suitable for the
required services or activities they should address them at this time. She pointed out that if the

Planning Director Meeting 1 December 7, 2010
Pastor Venter stated he would like to amend the hours of operation today if possible;
Ms. Burnett stated the purpose of the meeting is to discuss all the conditions presented and to be
sure both the applicant and the City are in agreement and therefore, if both parties are able to erne
to an agreement the conditions can be amended and approved today.
Jary Cockroft, Cucamonga Christian Fellowship, 13438 Silverwood Lane, Fontana,asked why the
Church requires restrictions on hours, and if the restrictions can be eliminated completely.
Ms. Burnett stated that would not be possible as the City must document a record of hours of
operation. She said this allows the City to regulate and to maintain carder in the City;
Roger Jasa, Jaska Building Systems, 10723 Beth Street, stated the Church would like to have a
New Years;activity that would probably not end until after 1 :00 midnight, and would that type of
activity need to have the approval of the Planning Director.
lbs. Burnett stated that certain activities might need to be brought back for a Temporary Use Permit
(TUP) but it would depend if the activity is something;out of the ordinary, such as an outdoor
function that may require outside assistance.
Tabe van der Zwagg, Associate Planner, explained that a TUP may be required if the Church is
planning on contracting out the facility or bringing in another organization.
Paster Venter asked if Condition g (All outreach services shall be conducted entirely within the
existing building)is eliminating all activity outside.
Ms. Burnett stated no, and that the City understands the Church may congregate in the parking lot
or around the facility but is still required to stay within the written conditions.
Robert Ball, Fire Marshall,stated the Fire Department has interest in the above-referenced CLIP for
safety reasons. He said we are seeing more and more churches in the Industrial Districts and the
concern that the City has is that the applicant is aware that during fire plan check certain
requirements will need to be addressed and brought up to code'. The Fire Department bases these
requirements on having adequate parking for the congregation based upon square footage of the
building. Therefore, if the congregation grows or the amount of people who attend the activities
risen, the Church will Mill be in compliance. He noted that such items pertaining to the fire
requirements band upon the square footage must be up to code and on the plans, such as the
egress and ingress to the main entrance, and fire alarms, or the building may require a new fire
analysis and an upgrade may be required.
Mr.Agustiadi,Senior Project Architect;WLC Architects, 8163 Rochester Avenue,stated they are in
agreement with the Fire regulations and would comply,
Ms. Burnett asked if he has reviewed the attached Resolution and Conditions of Approval_

PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (NOW
CONSTRUCTION) DRC2 10-0041 S W CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES —A request to add
1st through 5th grade classes to an existing school currently providing a preschool and
kindergarten program (with a projected total student count of 1 8 )at the Saint Peter and Saint
Paul Catholic Church, located within the Low(L) Residential District at the southeast corner of
Beryl and Banyan Streets at 6171 Beryl Strut-APN: 10 - 1- 1. The Planning Department
staff has prepared a Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration,
Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner, presented the staff report.
Candyce Burnett, Senior Planner, opened the public hearing:
Kevin Tar,,a resident, expressed concern regarding traffic being generated by the Junior High
School and this school between the hours of : 8 a m. and :00 a.m, on school days and a
dangerous situation resulting from pedestrians crossing Beryl Street from various points between
cars to the school site. He said it is dangerous because of the massive number of students within a
small area in that time period, He said parents driving their students to the school are using the
driveways in the neighborhood to turn and change directions and they are parking in the
neighborhood as well, He voiced concern about the expansion of the church use over the last five
years and the safety factor. He said cars are speeding down Beryl Street. He said there are several
schools in close proximity to one another,
Ernest Berg, 9087 Regency Way, said he supports the proposed project but he has concerns about
the traffic being generated. He said the parents are using the residents' driveways to turn around,
Planning Director Meeting 1 October 12, 2010_
He asked for clarification regarding the addition of grade levels. He said on Sundays it is like a race
track,
Mr. van der 2waeg confirmed that only one grade level would be added per year. He added that
there is a condition that states that parents are not allowed to park on the street for purposes of
dropping off students.
Charlie Buquet, Charles Joseph Associates, 1 081 Foothill Boulevard, Suite 398 said the original
application in 1984 was for 120 students and that same threshold stands even with the addition of
the upper grades; the number will be spread out throughout all those grade levels. He said the
existing buildings were originally intended for after school programs. He said they have a pre-
school, a management plan and carpooling. He said private schools typically do not serve just the
local neighborhood,therefore many students are driven to school. He said it is similar to Btiwanda
schools in that several schools are located within close proximity to one another. He said this facility
could have a maximum of 185 students and their traffic study was performed using 200 students as
the threshold, He said because of budget cuts, the neighboring Junior High School has more
students that are not being bussed,therefore,there is an increase in traffic. He said the church has
long range plan to use other properties for future expansion. He offered to consult with anyone
experiencing problems in the neighborhood because it is his goal to help the church be a good
neighbor. He said there are more evening uses at the church. He added that all the access is off of
Beryl Street.
s. Burnett asked if all students are signed in and out.,
Patty Ferrer, Saint Peter and Saint Paul Church said the maximum 185 students includes the pre-
school. She said the pre-school students must be signed in and signed out and the K-5 students
are required to be brought to the inside courtyard for drop off. She said in the mornings,the drivers
must park and in the afternoon they are picked up at a designated pick-up point. She said a
maximum of 120 students are dismissed at one time.
s. Burnett asked what the preschool hours are.
s. Ferrer said the pre-school class time is 8:30 a.m. -1i2:00 noon with extended care available to
all their students after school until 5,30 p.m.
Ms. Burnett asked about the draw/enrollment and if the school is a "commuter school.
Michael Donaldson, Saint Peter and Saint Maul Church,said there are no parish lines and they draw
enrollment'from outside the area.
Ms. Burnett asked about playground noise and plans for organized sports;
Mr. Buquet said there is an existing playground that is already utilized and no organized sports are
planned.
Ms. Burnett asked if the school administration considered staggered class times:
Ms. Ferrer reported that the first grade begins at T45 a.m., Kindergarten begins at 8:00 a.m,, and
the pre-school begins at 8:30 a.m.
Ms. Burnett asked if they considered staggering start times with the Junior High School.
Planning Director Meeting 2 October 12, 2010
Mr. Buquet said he would follow-up on that with the Junior High. He noted that it is a challenge with
the schools being on the same street. He said they changed their schedule as well and he could
see how 5 or 10 minutes could make an appreciable difference for the neighborhood,
Ms. Burnett closed the public hearing. She asked Mr. Buquet if they have read and understand the
resolution and conditions.
Mr. Buquet confirmed that he has.

Mr. Mestre stated Candelas is a new concept for the Victoria gardens area but has been
established in the Sari Diego area for the past eleven years. He said there have not been any
negative issues related to the restaurant such as the police being called out for any disturbances:
The clientele that Candelas serves tends to be a more sophisticated group with the age group
ranging from the early thirties to the late fifties, therefore, the restaurant hasn't had any trouble. He
stated he has another restaurant in the City of Coronado with the same reputation and that is the
reason for the request to modify;the hours of operation to be consistent with the other two
restaurants with the conditions set by the Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC) license. He rioted
that being able to serve until 1:30'will allow the restaurant to be more accommodating for their
clientele, instead of having to refuse service or ask the patrons to leave.
Mr. granger stated the Conditional Use Permit-D C2010-000 only covers the restaurant and
does not allow entertainment, He stated any entertainment would creed to be applied for under a
separate permit:
Mr Mestre stated entertainment is something that may be considered but is not a priority. He said
his plan will be' o establish the restaurant and build up the clientele with a good reputation as a
restaurant first before supplying entertainment;therefore, there is no intent to move forward`with
entertainment at this time.
Mr granger asked if security is provided at this location or at any of the other locations.
Mr. Mestre confirmed that there is security at the San Diego location to monitor the lounge sites. No
security will be required at this location until a later time when they have applied for the
entertainment permit. He stated the Coronado site does not currently have security and that it is in
the beginning stages of being established as a restaurant.
r. granger clarified that security is only provided when the restaurant has entertainment,
Mr. Mestre stated that is correct.
Mr. granger opened the public hearing, and seeing and hearing no further comment closed the
public hearing.
Mr.. granger(Acting Planning Director), adopted the Resolution of Approval 10-06 with the attached
