BOX 8129 FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA 92728 PROPERTY OWNER: VESTAR/KIMCO TUSTIN, L.P. VESTAR DEVELOPMENT COMPANY 7575 CARSON BLVD LONG BEACH, CA 90808 LOCATION: 2429 PARK AVENUE (LIFESTYLE CENTER) GENERAL PLAN: MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN ZONING: SP-1 - MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN DISTRICT NEIGHBORHOOD F PLANNING AREA 19 -COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: THIS PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT PURSUANT TO SECTION 15301 (CLASS 1) OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT REQUEST: A REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO ESTABLISH AND OPERATE AN INDOOR/OUTDOOR BOUTIQUE ENTERTAINMENT VENUE WITH LIVE ENTERTAINMENT AND A TYPE 48 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE FOR THE ON-SITE SALE OF GENERAL ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4127 approving Conditional Use Permit 09-017 to authorize the establishment of an indoor/outdoor boutique entertainment venue with live entertainment and a Type 48 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License for the on-site sale of general alcoholic beverages at 2429 Park Avenue. CUP 09-017 September 8, 2009 Page 2 BACKGROUND The proposed boutique entertainment venue will be in the District shopping center at Tustin Legacy, located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Jamboree Road and Barranca Parkway. The District at Tustin Legacy is zoned as Specific Plan 1 (SP-1) MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and comprises Planning Areas 16, 17, and 19 (Neighborhood F). The District shopping center comprises over a million square feet of retail and restaurant commercial uses. The proposed boutique entertainment venue would be located above the Johnny Rocket's restaurant and Madison Bleu shop within the Lifestyle Center. The subject tenant space was originally planned as a comedy club venue; however, the space was never developed as such. The Lifestyle Center is a pedestrian oriented portion of the District which has an emphasis on entertainment attractions in addition to retail and restaurant uses. The Lifestyle Center of the District is located within Planning Area 19 which allows for an assortment of commercial uses, including restaurants, retail, and service commercial uses. Unique attraction uses within the Lifestyle Center include facilities such as bowling alleys and movie theaters. It has been approximately two years since the first stores at the District in Tustin Legacy opened their doors. All proposed building pads have been constructed and the center is built out. The proposed boutique entertainment venue would be one of the last two CUP 09-017 September 8, 2009 Page 3 remaining tenant improvements for the District shopping center. All other tenant spaces have been occupied and improved. Pursuant to Section 3.8.4.A2 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, on-site alcoholic beverage sales establishments including bars, taverns, and cocktail lounges require approval of a conditional use permit. On-site alcoholic beverage sales establishments within Planning Area 19 (subject property) are not subject to distancing requirements pursuant to Section 3.14.2.61 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. Section 3231 of the Tustin City Code (TCC) requires approval of a live entertainment permit prior to establishing, setting up, maintaining, conducting, or carrying on any live entertainment for pay or for no charge. In accordance with Section 9270b(e) of the TCC presentation of live entertainment also requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit. In addition, sexually oriented businesses are prohibited within Planning Area 19 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. ~I ~ 1~~~ _ i ~ i . ~fiim~SVITI M.N. .1.... ,r~;,_------- _-.~ l._ f. ~ T.~-~ ~.. ~~ ~ ~. ~~ ~, ~: .~~:_y,. :YJr 1 ~,f~, . ~ ; :~._ .

Commercial and industrial uses lie to the south and east of the project site across Jamboree Road and Barranca Parkway in the City of Irvine. Land to the north and west of the project site is also located within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and is currently being planned to accommodate a wide variety of mixed uses. r is ` ;.~ 5~}•, RECEIVFU •'~~ JU! 7 3 2[qp .~; ;.~~'.. CUP 09-017 September 8, 2009 Page 4 Public Noticing A public hearing notice identifying the time, date, and location of the public hearing for the proposal was published in the Tustin News on August 27, 2009. Property owners within 300 feet of the site were notified of the hearing by mail; a hearing sign was pasted on the site and a public hearing notice was posted at City Hall on August 27, 2009. The applicant was informed of the availability of the agenda and staff report for this item. DISCUSSION Boutique Entertainment Venue The applicant is proposing to establish and operate a boutique entertainment venue, "The Loft," which will consist of an indoor and outdoor area. The tenant space is 3,733 square feet in size and is located on the second level of Building 3 directly above the Johnny Rocket's restaurant and Madison Bleu shop. A rooftop deck on the single story portion of the building would serve as an 843 square foot outdoor area for the venue. The venue proposes to host both public and private events with multiple functions such as mixers, wedding receptions, fundraisers, charity events, and other social events based on days and operational hours. However, the venue would function primarily as a nightclub with dancing during evening hours. The applicant plans to create a modern, yet sophisticated setting that provides local business professionals a place to unwind after work. The floor plans of the proposed venue can be referenced in Attachment D - Submitted Plans. CUP 09-017 September 8, 2009 Page 5 The applicant is proposing to implement a dress code which would vary based on the event. In general, during the hours between 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. more casual dress would be allowed while evening events after 9:00 p.m. would require a more stringent dress code. Themed events and sponsored events would be an exception to the typical dress code policy. The applicant's goal is to restrict open toed shoes and shorts for men, baggy or excessively loose clothing, and all gang apparel as well as baseball caps. Security for the venue will be provided by the applicant and the amount of security would be largely dependent upon the type of event occurring. In addition to internal security for the venue, the District does provide security for the shopping center. The City of Tustin Police Department has reviewed and approved the proposed use subject to the conditions of approval contained within Exhibit A of Resolution No. 4127. Hours of Operation/Parking The proposed hours of operation for the venue are 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. and are limited to that timeframe per the parking analysis for the District. The hours of operation are consistent with other uses within the Lifestyle Center of the District. The proposed boutique entertainment venue is similar in nature to a comedy club in that the hours of operation are similar; they are both assembly type uses; and they both provide entertainment as a primary function. As previously mentioned the proposed use would occupy a tenant space originally slated for a comedy club. LLG traffic engineers prepared the parking analysis for the District and have concluded that "the Loft" would be similar to the comedy club, sufficient parking would be provided, and that the results of the parking analysis are still valid. Alcohol License A Type 48 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License has been requested by the applicant in conjunction with the entertainment venue. Pursuant to the ABC, a Type 48 license authorizes the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for consumption on the premises where sold; the sale of beer and wine for consumption off the premises where sold; minors are not allowed to enter and remain; and food service is not required. The Type 48 license is the same license as a bar, nightclub, or tavern would require. There are concerns regarding the sale of alcohol for off-site consumption in conjunction with a nightclub type attraction and the potential it creates for unregulated activities outside of the venue, in particular the parking lot. Condition 2.4 of Resolution No. 4127 would prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises. It is not a requirement of this license to serve food at the establishment and the applicant does not intend to prepare food on the premises. According to the applicant, any food on-site would be catered or prepared off-site. CUP 09-017 September 8, 2009 Page 6 There are other entertainment establishments within the District that serve alcoholic beverages; however, all of their alcohol licenses are in conjunction with bona fide public eating places (restaurants). The proposed venue is compatible with these types of uses which make the Lifestyle Center a destination entertainment venue. In addition the originally proposed comedy club would have required the same Type 48 ABC license as proposed by the current applicant. Live Entertainment Other entertainment venues within the Lifestyle Center include numerous restaurants, Strike bowling alley, AMC movie theaters, and regularly scheduled live entertainment events such as live music, art shows, and fashion shows within the courtyard area as approved by the Planning Commission on August 26, 2008. The applicant is requesting a live entertainment permit to host concert events at the venue involving live performances as well as comedy shows, art exhibits, fashion shows, and dance and dramatic performances. The applicant is also proposing to have disc jockeys and dancing which are exempt from the live entertainment permit. Upon approval of a CUP for the presentation of live entertainment, the applicant shall obtain a live entertainment permit issued by the Director of Community Development. The live entertainment permit is non-transferable and any modifications to the proposed live entertainment permit would require approval of the Community Development Director. Noise The Lifestyle Center is located essentially in the middle of the District shopping center and is surrounded by parking and additional commercial buildings beyond that. The District itself is located between the three major arterial roads: Barranca Parkway, Jamboree Road, and Tustin Ranch Road. No noise impacts are anticipated due to the fact that there are no residential uses existing or planned in the immediate vicinity of the Lifestyle Center within the District. In addition, it should be recognized that medium high density and low density residential development is proposed within the core areas of Tustin Legacy north of Tustin Ranch Road in Neighborhoods D and G (see Attachment C - MCAS Tustin Site Plan). Pursuant to proposed Condition 3.6 of Resolution No. 4127, the proposed live entertainment shall not exceed noise standards set forth in the City of Tustin Noise Ordinance. Redevelopment Agency The project site is located within a Redevelopment Agency Review area and the City of Tustin Redevelopment Agency has reviewed and approved the proposed use. The Agency has determined that the proposed tenant and use is a Class A tenant as required by the Disposition and Development Agreement and that the proposed use will be consistent with the other Class A tenants at The District. Entertainment CUP 09-017 September 8, 2009 Page 7 venues such as the one being proposed are encouraged by the Redevelopment Agency within the Lifestyle Center to create a vibrant and active atmosphere. FINDINGS In determining whether to approve the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed boutique entertainment venue with a Type 48 ABC License and live entertainment located at 2429 Park Avenue within the Lifestyle Center at the District, the Planning Commission must determine whether or not the proposed use will be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the persons residing in or working in the neighborhood or whether it will be injurious or detrimental to property or improvements in the vicinity or to the welfare of the City. A decision to approve this request as conditioned may be supported by the following findings: The Lifestyle Center in the District was developed to allow the particular type of boutique entertainment venue with live entertainment and alcohol sales as applied for and can reasonably accommodate such a use. The typical hours of the proposed boutique entertainment venue are compatible with other uses within the Lifestyle Center and the District. 3. No noise impacts are anticipated as there are no existing or planned residential uses within the immediate vicinity of the project site. 4. Based on the parking analysis for the District, it has been determined that there would be sufficient parking provided to accommodate the proposed use. 5. The project site is located within a redevelopment project area and the City of Tustin Redevelopment Agency has reviewed and approved the project. The Agency has determined that the proposed tenant is a Class A User as required by the Disposition and Development Agreement between Vestar and the City. 6. As conditioned, the presentation of live entertainment at the subject property would not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the City. As conditioned, Conditional Use Permit 09-017 may be reviewed on an annual basis, or more often if necessary, by the Community Development Director. If the use is not operated in accordance with Conditional Use Permit 09-017 or is found to be a nuisance or negative impacts are affecting the surrounding uses, the Community Development Director would have the authority to impose additional conditions to eliminate the CUP 09-017 September 8, 2009 Page 8 nuisance or negative impacts or may initiate proceedings to revoke the Conditional Use Permit. 8. Pursuant to Section 3.8.40 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, no sexually oriented businesses can be established within Planning Area 19 (the District). 9. The implementation/application of the proposed conditions would ensure compatibility of the proposed boutique entertainment venue with the surrounding uses and the Tustin City Code. Staff recommends that that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4127 approving Conditional Use Permit 09-017 to establish an indoor/outdoor boutique entertainment venue with a Type 48 ABC License and live entertainment at 2429 Park Avenue within the Lifestyle Center at the District at Tustin Legacy.
