Status Report Hennessey's Restaurant (143 Main Street) Owner: Request: Paul Hennessey Discuss whether a public hearing should be scheduled to consider revocation of Conditional Use Permit 98-18 (Outdoor Patio Area). Recommendation: Pleasure of the Planning Commission. \\DA T AFILE\USERS\CAlvarez\Carmen_data\PC Minutes\2002\07 -17 -02 PC Minutes.doc 3 .~ 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 .23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 .45 46 City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of July 17, 2002 Staff Reoort Mr. Cummins delivered the staff report. (Staff Report is on file for inspection in the Planning Department.) He provided some background on this item and stated that this information is being presented at the direction of City Council (CC) at their June 24, 2002 meeting. He reported that on June 20 Hennessey's held a special event with amplified music to commemorate its anniversary. He indicated that the live music was permitted through the City's special event permit process. He stated that after the event a complaint was received, which alleged that the patio windows and doors were left open at the restaurant during this event and that the emergency door at the middle of the restaurant may have been partially blocked. Mr. Cummins stated that the hearing tonight was for the purpose of determining whether the circumstances call for a revocation hearing. The Associate Planner then reviewed the two separate Conditional Use Permits (CUP) issued for this land use; the first, CUP 89-2, for an on-sale general liquor license and the second, CUP 98-18, approving a remodel and addition of the patio dining area. He indicated that should the Planning Commission (PC) determine to hold a revocation hearing, this would pertain to CUP 98-18 only. He noted that at Commissioner Deaton's request a compilation containing all correspondence received regarding the alleged complaints has been provided to each Commissioner. Commissioner Questions Commissioner Deaton asked what the outcome would be should the PC determine to revoke the CUP. Mr. Cummins stated that the outdoor dining area would have to be closed, but he was not certain that the City could require that the interior be returned to its original state before the remodel. Mr. 80ga interjected that should a revocation hearing take place, he did not believe that the City would require that the interior floor plan for Hennessey's be returned to its original state. Commissioner Deaton asked for clarification as to what "closing the patio" would entail. The Director of Development Services stated that approval of revocation would require that the windows in the outdoor patio area to be permanently closed up and that the area be used as an indoor seating area. Chairperson Hood asked if previously there had been problems with the outdoor dining area. Mr. Cummins reported that there had been complaints in the past of the restaurant not closing the patio windows after 9:00 p.m., but no recent complaints on this issue have been received. Chairperson Hood asked if there had been a signage problem in the past. Mr. Cummins stated that there had been a mural in the patio area advertising alcohol, but it has since been modified to read, "Lovely day for a root beer." Chairperson Hood clarified whether before the remodel the front patio area had been part of the enclosed restaurant area. Mr. Whittenberg stated that he could not recall the specific floor plan arrangement, but that front area was always a part of the restaurant operation. Chairperson Hood asked whether CUP 98-18 granted the ability to create the patio area. Mr. Whittenberg stated that the request was to open the windows and create the entry with the semi-enclosed dining area \\DATAFILE\USERS\CAlvarez\Carmen_data\PC Minutes\2002\07-17-02 PC Minutes.doc 4 .~ 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 .23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 .45 46 City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of July 17, 2002 that is now there. Chairperson Hood commented that if the patio seating were revoked, patrons could not be seated in the patio area. Mr. Whittenberg noted that after hearing some of the Commission's concerns during this discussion, should the PC determine to hold a revocation hearing, Staff would conduct more in-depth research in order to provide a comprehensive Staff Report to assist in making a final determination. Chairperson Hood countered that he was attempting to set the parameters for possible action by the PC. Mr. Whittenberg stated that the PC would have to determine whether or not the restaurant operation is in compliance with the conditions of approval, and if not, a public hearing would be held to discuss violation of those conditions in order to determine how these issues might be resolved. Chairperson Hood asked that Mr. Boga provide some parameters for the members of the public wishing to speak on this issue. Mr. Boga stated that public comments tonight should be confined to the issue of whether or not Hennessey's has complied with the conditions of approval for CUP 98-18 and whether a public hearing for a revocation is warranted. Public Comments Chairperson Hood opened the public comment session. Mr. Paul Hennessey, owner of Hennessey's stated that to his knowledge the restaurant was not in violation of any of the conditions of approval. Mr. Carrier, 215 13th Street, stated that Hennessey's is a fine establishment. He compared the proposed revocation to his telling his grandson "you have used the computer too much and now I am going to stop you from driving your car." He noted that the open patio was not even part of the violation, so it is difficult to see how it could be part of the solution. Mr. Woody Woodruff stated that it is common knowledge that the patio windows are not closed at night. He said that he did not understand how the permit for live entertainment was approved since Hennessey's was already in violation of the conditions of approval for CUP 98-18. Ms. Carol Wiley stated that many of the restaurants along Main Street have outdoor dining areas, and patrons will even bring their purchases from the ice cream shops and bakeries and eat them outdoors. She encouraged keeping Seal Beach a community of the people. Ms. Gail Ayres stated that she and. her neighbors have been kept awake at night by . noise emanating from Hennessey's. She said that she did document that the patio doors were open at 9: 15. Ms. Joan Ward stated that she lives within 500 feet of Hennessey's and the night of the anniversary celebration she was home with all of her windows open and she \\DATAFILE\USERS\CAlvarez\Carmen_data\PC Minutes\2002\07-17.Q2 PC Minutes.doc 5 .~ 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 .23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 .45 46 , - City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of July 17, 2002 indicated that for most of the evening she heard no noise from the restaurant. She said that at approximately 9:45 she and a neighbor went for a walk, and noted that they did not hear the live music until they were in front of Walt's Wharf. She stated that she did not understand how the hearing tonight could have been called as a result of one complaint. Ms. Becky Hull stated that she lives right across the street from Hennessey's and did not hear any noise from the anniversary celebration. She noted that she has registered at least 12 complaints regarding another establishment on Main Street and no action has ever been taken. She said that it was unfair to have called this hearing as a result of one complaint. Mr. asked if a decibel reading had been taken on the night of the anniversary celebration. Mr. Whittenberg reported that none was taken. Mr. commented that this hearing had come about as a result of the one complaint. Mr. Whittenberg clarified that tonight's review was at the direction of CC. Mr. stated that he personally believed this to be a ongoing attack and noted that the focus should be on fixing city streets instead of worrying about Hennessey's. Mr. Paul Hennessey stated that Hennessey's has applied for 3 or 4 SEPs for the whole year. He said that everyone was properly noticed. He reported that he had then received notice that approval of the SEPs had been rescinded as a result of this one complaint. Mr. Hennessey stated that he was quite shocked when he was notified of this as he was not contacted to discuss the intent to rescind the approvals. He said that a police report was made when the complaint was filed and the report reflects that the music was not loud. Commissioner Deaton asked Mr. Hennessey if the patio windows were open or closed. Mr. Hennessey stated that the front windows were closed as required by CUP 98-18. He said that he did not see the side windows open, however, someone may have opened them. There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairperson Hood closed the public comment period. Commissioner Comments Chairperson Hood requested an overview of the parameters to be considered by the PC. Mr. Boga explained that tonight the PC is considering whether or not to direct Staff to schedule a public hearing on a possible revocation or modification of CUP 98-18. He reiterated that this does not involve the CUP for on-site sale of alcohol. He said that the PC could also table the matter if they felt there was no need for a public hearjng. Chairperson Hood asked if the parameter could be whether the PC believes sufficient evidence has been presented tonight to warrant scheduling a public hearing. Mr. Boga responded this could be the case. \\DATAFILE\USERS\CAlvarez\Carmen_data\PC Minutes\2002\07-17-02 PC Minutes.doc 6 .~ 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 .23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 .45 46 . - City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of July 17, 2002 Commissioner Deaton read Condition No. 25 from CC Resolution 4277, which states that the outdoor dining area is to be completely closed at 9:00 p.m. She also noted that the police report indicates that the front of the building was closed. She stated that the patio and the possible use of amplified music would be the only issues to be considered in the complaint. Mr. Cummins interjected that there is no provision in CUP 98-18 to allow for live music, but unamplified music was permitted as a result of Hennessey's have received approval of a SEP. Commissioner Sharp stated that because the CC had referred this issue to the PC for consideration, he feels that as a courtesy a hearing should be scheduled. He said he did not believe enough evidence had been presented tonight, but perhaps a public hearing would provide more information. Commissioner Deaton asked whether the direction was from CC or from the City Manager. Mr. Whittenberg responded that it was the result of a CC action. Commissioner Deaton clarified that the directive was that the PC consider the facts to determine whether a public hearing were warranted, and not that a public hearing must be scheduled. Mr. Whittenberg confirmed that this was correct. Commissioner Shanks noted that the fact that the music was amplified has not been established. Mr. Whittenberg interjected that as Mr. Cummins had stated, this issue has been addressed by the City in revoking the SEPs previously approved for the remainder of the year. He stated that there is no condition in CUP 98-18 that allows entertainment other than through the SEP and Hennessey's no longer has that right. Commissioner Sharp asked the Director of Development Services whether evidence other than what was presented tonight had been presented at the CC meeting of June 24, 2002. Mr. Whittenberg reported that none was presented other than the fact that Mr. William Ayres had spoken at the meeting and had presented his letter. Commissioner Sharp stated that since the violation was related to the SEP and had nothing to do with violation of any of the other conditions of approval, he does not feel that a public hearing is warranted. Commissioner Deaton asked if there was amplified music on the night of the celebration. Mr. Whittenberg stated that this issue is not clear. He said that this has been alleged, however, in discussions by Staff with the Seal Beach Police Department (SBPD), this has not been established. He noted that because the remaining SEPs have been revoked, he does not believe this to have any bearing on the issue at this point. Commissioner Deaton stated that she believes it does because of Section 8, Condition NO.3. She asked whether Staff had discussed this with Mr. Hennessey. Mr. Whittenberg stated that Mr. Hennessey has alleged that there was no amplified music. Commissioner Deaton asked what the result of tabling the matter would be. Chairperson Hood explained that essentially the item would be tabled with no specific time for revisiting the issue. Mr. Boga interjected that basically this would be \\DA T AFILE\USERS\CAlvarez\Carmen_data\PC Minutes\2002\07 -17 -02 PC Minutes.doc 7 .~ 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 .23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 .45 46 City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of July 17, 2002 the case, however, if 2 or 3 months down the road further complaints arise, nothing prevents the PC from again considering whether or not to schedule a hearing. Commissioner Shanks asked whether CC had directed the City Manager to no longer issue SEPs. Mr. Whittenberg explained the process for issuing SEPs noting that in this case approval was granted to Hennessey's for several special events. He continued by stating that these permits were revoked and Hennessey's has no authority for any additional special activity events for the remainder of this year. He indicated that Hennessey's can reapply beginning January 2003 and the City Manager can at that point determine whether to grant or deny these permits. Commissioner Shanks commented that theoretically then, should another SEP be approved for Hennessey's in 2003 and should there be violations, then at that point the PC could revise the CUP to eliminate the privilege of applying for a SEP. Mr. Whittenberg stated that this was a different legal issue that would require further research as he was not certain that the CUP process could be used to override the authority of a person to ask for a SEP. Commissioner Shanks referred to Condition No. 18 and the Director of Development Services explained that through the CUP process the City had previously allowed live entertainment at restaurants as a regular part of their business operation. He stated that when the Hennessey's site was previously operated under the name of Papillion's Restaurant they had the authority to have live entertainment on a nightly basis. He indicated that when the use switched from Papillion's to Hennessey's, as part of the approval to allow the opening of Hennessey's towards the street, Mr. Hennessey agreed to withdraw the land use entitlement for the live entertainment. Mr. Whittenberg noted that there are several restaurants in town that do provide live entertainment on a regular basis, but this does not preclude a business operator from applying for a SEP and asking for something that may include entertainment for a nighttime special event.

City of Seal Beach Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of July 17, 2002 Mr. Whittenberg then reported that at their last meeting in June 2002, CC has authorized contracts to be issued to undertake a complete revision and update to the City's General Plan and also for the preparation of a Local Coastal Plan. He stated that it is anticipated that at the next meeting CC will form a Citizens Advisory Committee and that one member from City Council, Planning Commission, and the Environmental Quality Control Board will be asked to serve as part of that advisory committee. COMMISSION CONCERNS Commissioner Sharp extended his welcome to the new Commissioners and inquired about the Sunrise Assisted Living Facility. Mr. Whittenberg reported that the project is in final plan check and grading permits are ready to be issued. He stated that once grading commences it is projected that the facility will be completed within one year. Chairperson Hood inquired about what had happened to the bike lane along Lampson Avenue west of Basswood.
