PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE - ENTERTAINMENT
LICENSES - ALCOHOL PERMITS - RELIGIOUS/CHARITABLE/NON-PROFIT
ORGANIZATIONS
Mayor Grgas declared the public hearing open to consider
an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance that would require
a Conditional Use Permit for entertainment licenses and
exempt religious, charitable or nonprofit organizations
from obtaining a Conditional Use Permit for alcohol. The
City Clerk certified that notice of public hearing was
published as required by law and that no communications
for or against this item had been received. The Principal
Planner presented the staff report and recommendations
of the Planning Commission that entertainment permits be
subject to a Conditional Use permit so that: 1) all property
owners within 300 feet will receive a public hearing notice;
2) the Planning Commission can evaluate all uses in the
building for compatibility; 3) conditions can be imposed
to insure compatibility; and 4) a Conditional Use Permit
can be revoked for failure to comply with conditions.
The Principal Planner reported that the City Attorney had
recommended that certain provisions within Chapter 7A of
the Muncipal Code be included under the Business License
Chapter of the Code in order to retain control over
entertainment activities and that Chapter 7A, Entertainment
Cafes, be repealed. Mr. Antos reported that the Planning
Commission also recommended exemption of religious,
charitable and nonprofit organizations from the Conditional
Use Permit requirement for alcoholic beverage and
entertainment licenses. Upon recommendation of the City
Manager and City Attorney, the following changes were made
to proposed Ordinance Number 1149: I) typographical error
corrected on pages one and four; 2) Section 3(c) deleted;
3) Section 3(a)4 deleted; and 4) Section 3(a)S amended
to read "The area where entertainment is conducted shall
be well lighted at all times." The City Attorney clarified
that the exemption for charitable organizations is set
forth in the last paragraph of Section 4 of the proposed
ordinance, defining entertainment cafes. Councilmember
Risner stated her concern that the ordinance did not clearly
set forth a provision under which entertainment would be
required to cease upon violation of entertainment permit
conditions and pending a noticed hearing by the Planning
commission and City Councilor legal action. The City
Attorney explained that all Conditional Use Permits are
issued under the same provisions, that a revokation provision
could not be imposed just for entertainment cafes. Mr.
Stepanicich stated that the Council could establish a
procedure other than the Conditional Use Permit that would
apply only to the issuance of entertainment licenses.
The City Attorney stated that in regard to the due process
I
8-22-83
rights of a businessperson, under existing provisions the
City Manager does have the right to revoke an entertainment
permit immediately and that the permit holder has the right
of appeal. He explained that if no appeal is filed the
matter is closed, however if an appeal is requested, it
would be his opinion that the revocation of a license would
have to be suspended until the time the appeal is heard.
The City Manager interjected that in most cases when
provisions of an entertainment permit are violated, other
violations are also likely therefore allowing some other
form of administrative enforcement. The City Attorney
explained that under an alternate procedure licenses could
be approved by the City Manager or City Council and in
turn could be revoked by the City Manager with a provision
for appeal to the Council, therefore bypassing any Planning
Commission hearing. Mayor Grgas invited members of the
audience wishing to speak to this item to come to the
microphone and state their name and address for the record.
Brent Matthews, 218 - 8th Street, spoke in favor of public
notification of pending entertainment licenses, for enactment
of a provision to close such business should a violation
occur, and suggested that all entertainment operations
be monitored. Mr. Matthews asked for a definition of the
time period and renewal requirements for nonprofit and
charitable exemptions, and inquired, if the proposed ordinance
is approved, if current entertainment licenses would be
reviewed with public comment. The City Manager responded
that there is currently no provision for annual review
of entertainment licenses, and stated that under the proposed
ordinance this matter becomes a land use issue with
requirement for public hearing and public notification,
and noted that should a problem arise, the time frame for
public hearing will take a minimum of two weeks. The City
Attorney clarified that licenses for entertainment and
alcohol will be issued under Conditional Use Permit and
that the City will have the authority to revoke one or
both of such licenses. Mr. Matthews asked that new
entertainment licenses issued within the last twelve months
be reviewed upon public request or that the Council review
them with public comment. The City Manager reported that
there are presently four entertainment licenses within
the City. With regard to discussion of one year permits
with annual review, the City Attorney recommended that
the City Council direct the Planning Commission to impose
same as a standard condition for issuance of an entertainment
CUP. In response to Council, the City Manager stated that
the Walt's Wharf contract for entertainment has expired
and that he will be formally revoking their entertainment
permit. There were no other oral communications; Mayor
Grgas declared the public hearing closed.
ORDINANCE NUMBER 1149 - ENTERTAINMENT CAFES
Ordinance Number 1149 was presented to Council for first
reading entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER II, ARTICLE
I AND ARTICLE II AND RELATED SECTIONS OF THE SEAL BEACH
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ENTERTAINMENT CAFES." By
unanimous consent, full reading of Ordinance Number 1149
was waived. Risner moved, second by Vanderstaay, to approve
the introduction of Ordinance Number 1149 as amended by
the City Manager and City Attorney and that it be passed
to second reading. The City Attorney stated that with
respect to any existing entertainment cafe license that
does not have a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning
Commission can set forth an amortization period for which
they must reapply to the City for their permit, which would
require a public hearing.

certified that notice of public hearing had been published

received either for or against this item. The Principal
Planner presented the staff report and recommendations
of the Planning Commission. The Planner explained that
the amendment would permit additions by Conditional Use
Permit such as balconies, storage rooms, bathrooms or
enlargement of an existing room, provided the required
number of parking spaces are placed on site. Mr. Antos
stated that the goal of the Planning Commission is to upgrade
properties while increasing on-site parking, clarifying
that if parking requirements cannot be met, an addition
would not be allowed. It was also noted that an addition
could increase lot coverage, however would not exceed the
maximum allowed. There were no communications from the
audience relating to this item; Mayor Grgas declared the

that no communications had been received either for or

staff report and recommendations of the Planning Commission.
The Planner explained that on July 6th, the Planning

8-22-83
be required in R-I zones, however, pursuant to Council
direction, reconsidered the matter on July 18th and
determined that carports be allowed in unique cases by
Conditional Use Permit. With regard to aesthetic control,

PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING AMENDMENT - SPECIFIC PLANS -
INTERPRETATION
Mayor Grgas declared the public hearing open to consider
an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance that would clarify
that a Specific Plan supercedes base zoning provisions.
The City Clerk certified that notice of public hearing
had been published as required by law and that no
communications had been received for or against this item.
The Principal Planner presented the staff report and
recommendation of the Planning Commission. The Planner
explained that a Specific Plan is a more precise development
mechanism than the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and
since the City's Zoning Ordinance is silent with regard
to Specific Plans, the City Attorney had recommended that
a provision be added to the Zoning Ordinance clarifying
that a Specific Plan would supercede base zoning provisions.
Mayor Grgas invited members of the audience wishing to
speak to this matter to come to the microphone and state I
their name and address for the record. Mr. Jay Covington,
member of the Planning Commission, stated he was addressing
the Council as a citizen of the community, residing at
4260 Dogwood Avenue, and spoke in support of the proposed
ordinance, noting the number of unique parcelS throughout
the City with various limitations, zoned and proposed for
various uses. Mr. Covington suggested however, that the
Council may wish to direct the staff and the Planning
8-22-83
I
Commission to investigate and establish certain limitations
or conditions for the Specific Plan process, which could
include the value of a project, the parcel size, possible
restriction to commercial or residential developments.
Mr. Jim Gilkerson, lOll Electric Avenue, expressed his
opposition to the proposed ordinance, and supported the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and development under
the planned unit development provisions. Mr. Gilkerson
referred to and voiced his objection to a Specific Plan
development recently considered by the Planning Commission,
citing noncompliance with the Zoning Ordinance in most
instances of that Plan. Mr. Gilkerson spoke in support
of the Hellman and Department of Water and Power Specific
Plans, stating that a Specific Plan should only be allowed
for development of large undeveloped parcels of land.
The City Manager stated the importance of a clarifying
provision within the Code to eliminate conflicts with
existing zoning provisions and adopted Specific Plans.
The City Attorney supported clarification of the Specific
Plan in the Code, and suggested that the City scrutinize
which properties will be allowed development under the
Specific Plan process, where unique development problems
and land uses exist. The City Manager suggested that no
additional Specific Plans be considered until specific
criteria is established governing their use, with the
exception of the Specific Plans for the Department of Water
and Power site, the Hellman property and the State Lands
Parcel. Mitzi Morton, 14th Street, stated she was not
necessarily opposed to the ordinance, referred to the
possibility of development of several lots in a residential
zoned area under Specific Plan and suggested large parcels
such as the Hellman site and Bixby land be rezoned for
increased density and development under a Specific Plan.
Nancy Kredell, 16lS Seal Way, expressed her opposition
to the proposed ordinance. Mr. Matthews, 8th Street, also
stated his opposition. Josie Greeley, IS29 Seal Way, asked
what the risk would be if the adoption of this ordinance
is postponed until Specific Plan limitations are established.
The City Attorney stated that one problem is that there
would be ambiguities as to whether provisions of the Specific
Plans for the Department of Water and Power and Hellman
properties would apply over the Zoning Ordinance if those
parcels were developed prior to adoption of the provisions
contained in the proposed ordinance. The City Manager
stated that the interpretation is important to the present
negotiations for the DWP development. Mr. Covington again
stated his support for adoption of the ordinance as presented,
and spoke in favor of the recommendation of the City Manager
to limit Specific Plans to the three parcelS already
identified under that process (DWP, Hellman and State Lands)
until standards for a Specific Plan are established and
adopted. There were no other communications from the
audience; Mayor Grgas declared the public hearing closed.
Council discussion continued.

PUBLIC HEARING - STATE LANDS SPECIFIC PLAN
Mayor Grgas declared the public hearing open to consider
the State Lands Specific Plan which would establish
development standards for the 2.7 acre site at First Street
and Pacific Coast Highway. The City Clerk certified that
notice of public hearing had been published as required I
by law and that no communications for or against this item
had been received. The Principal Planner presented the
staff report and recommendations of the Planning Commission,
noting that the Plan sets forth hotel, restaurant, retail
uses, that the building height is to be determined by the
Redevelopment Agency during architectural review, and that
Spanish style architecture will be required. The City
Attorney recommended that the Plan be amended as follows:
I) Section 7, the words "...subject to the approval of
the Redevelopment Agency" be added; and 2) a Section 12
be added to read "No building permits shall be issued for
any development subject to the State Lands Specific Plan
until a site plan submitted to the City in accordance with
Section II hereof is approved by the Planning Commission."
There were no communications from the audience for or against
this item; Mayor Grgas declared the public hearing closed.
ORDINANCE NUMBER 1lSS - ADOPTING STATE LANDS SPECIFIC PLAN
Ordinance Number 1lSS was presented to Council for first
reading entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH,

PLAN." By unanimous consent, full reading of Ordinance
Number IISS was waived. With regard to Section B3 of the I
Plan, the Planner clarified that the Planning Commission
had added the language "available to the public" so that
public use would be allowed at such times that facilities
are not used to capacity by the development. Council and
staff amended the Plan as follows: Section A-4-e deleted;
Section B-3, Open Space/Recreational Use, the word "may
be available" added, and the words "~articipation and
disposition agreement" deleted; SectIon B-4-b, the words
"At least half the width of Haynes Road.." added; Section
B-S-a, the word "Riverfront" deleted; and under Section
B-6-b, the condition "Subterranean parking is specifically

SURFS IDE/SUNSET BEACH BREAKWATER/MARINA
The City Manager reported that as a result of the recent
storms and on-going sand erosion problems, the City had
hired the engineering firm of Moffat and Nichol to study
and propose alternatives to alleviate these problems in
Surfside. Mr. Parker recalled that several possible
alternatives were presented in their report, one of which
was the recently constructed temporary revetment wall which
was the least expensive solution and should have a life
expectancy of ten to fifteen years. The City Manager stated
that the staff also looked into the construction of a jetty
fronting Surfside, the estimated cost of which was 5.7
million dollars. Mr. Parker reported that staff had
discussed the construction of a jetty with Don Hellmers
Engineering who pointed out that a jetty constructed in
front of Surfs ide would only shift and increase the erosion
problem to the Sunset Beach area, therefore a mile long
jetty was considered. Mr. Parker stated that a 4900 slip
marina had been included in the Plan in order to generate
revenue to offset construction costs, which are estimated
at 16S million dollars. Mr. Parker presented the Council
with copies of the Preliminary Conceptual Plan, noting
that this was studied only as an alternative and long range
solution to storm and erosion problems, and is not a staff
recommendation at this time, stating that he felt such
a project would ultimately be the decision of the residents
of Sunset Beach and Surfside Colony. The City Manager
stated that the County would be the lead agency through
a joint powers agreement with City cooperation should the
Plan go forward, and estimating a time frame of no less
than seven years. The City Manager requested authorization
to forward the Conceptual Plan to Surfs ide Colony and the
County of Orange. Councilmember Risner suggested, with
the consensus of the Council, to forward the Plan to the
Sunset Beach Community Association. Laszlo moved, second
by Brownell, to authorize the City Manager to forward the
Plan as requested.
