RECOMMENDATION
That the Zoning Administrator adopt Zoning Administrator Action (ZAA) No. 14 -002
approving Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2014 -04 to establish a live entertainment use
with music band performers such as cover bands, jazz, blues and surf music bands in
conjunction with an existing restaurant with alcoholic beverage sales located at 560 El
Camino Real.
APPROVAL AUTHORITY
The project site is located within the Central Commercial (C2) Zoning District, Cultural
Resources (CR) Overlay District, and Parking Overlay (P) District. Pursuant to Tustin
City Code (TCC) Section 9270a(e), the presentation of live entertainment is allowable
with the approval of a CUP and TCC Section 3232 states that a CUP is a prerequisite
for obtaining a Live Entertainment Permit (LEP). TCC Section 9299b(3)(f) authorizes
the Zoning Administrator to review applications for minor CUPS where there would be
no change of primary use, no expansion of floor area and the request would not alter
the original intent of the project.
BACKGROUND
The project site is located in Old Town Tustin, within an existing 4,200 square -foot
restaurant known as The Black Marlin. The site is located on the northwest corner of El
Camino Real and Sixth Street (Figure 1) and was converted from an auto repair shop into
a restaurant use with alcoholic beverage sales in 2006 (CUP 06 -009). A portion of the
parking lot is located on a separate adjacent parcel on 135 W. Sixth Street (Assessor
Parcel Number 401 - 622 -16). Surrounding land uses include a residential use to the
west, restaurants and retail stores to the north and south, and a vacant parcel on the
east side of El Camino Real. The project site is improved with a building, known as the
Tustin Garage, and rated 'C' and National Register Historic Preservation (NRHP) Status
Code 3S in the Historic Resources Survevs.

On January 23, 2014, Code Enforcement received a complaint and staff investigated the
project site and found that the business was operating without a valid City of Tustin (City)
business license, had installed a sign without an approved sign permit, and was providing
live entertainment performances without a valid CUP for live entertainment and a valid
LEP. The business owner has since obtained a business license and is in the process of
obtaining a sign permit. The applicant submitted the subject application in order to comply
with TCC regarding Live Entertainment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant is proposing to establish a live entertainment use including music bands
such as cover bands, blues, jazz and surf music bands. The applicant anticipates that
different bands with two (2) to five (5) members will perform. Section 3235 of the TCC
exempts certain forms of live entertainment from obtaining a LEP, which includes:
Single performers, duos, disc jockeys, karaoke singers, radios, juke boxes, and piano
playing. Since the applicant is proposing music bands with three (3) or more members,
a CUP and LEP are required.

The applicant has proposed the following hours for live entertainment performances:
• Sunday: 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• Wednesday— Thursday: 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
• Friday— Saturday: 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
ANALYSIS
Live Entertainment
Businesses requesting approval to present live entertainment are required to first
receive approval of a CUP for live entertainment and approval of a LEP (TCC Sections
9270a(e) and 3231). Approval of a CUP for the presentation of live entertainment would
authorize the applicant to obtain a LEP issued through the Business License Division.
The LEP is non - transferable, and any modifications to the proposed LEP would require
approval of the Community Development Director.
As mentioned, the restaurant was providing live entertainment without approval of a
CUP. Since the notice of violation, the restaurant operator has only provided live
entertainment that are exempted from the LEP requirements such as solo acts and
duos.
The applicant has provided the list of entertainment that will be provided at the
restaurant (Attachment C). The proposed music such as jazz, blues, surf music and
cover band music are appropriate in that these types of bands are typical of restaurant
entertainment that customers can enjoy while they have a meal and drinks. In addition,
in order to maintain the restaurant atmosphere, outside promoters, cover charges, or
drink promotions shall not be allowed as proposed in Conditions 2.15 and 2.16.
Pursuant to Section 3236 of the TCC, the stage or entertainment area shall not be open
to view from outside the premises, thus the live entertainment shall be conducted
entirely within the building. The stage proposed area is located in the southeast corner
of the restaurant, towards the front of the building (Figure 2). This location of the stage
is as far away from the closest residential use as possible, providing the maximum
distance between the two. There is an existing window on the wall next to the stage.
To comply with LEP requirements, the applicant would be required to install an opaque
covering over the window.
The subject property is located within the Old Town commercial area, however there are
residential uses in the vicinity: a single - family use on commercially zoned property
immediately to the rear (west) of the project site, approximately 150 feet west along
Sixth Street; also a single - family use on commercially zoned property approximately
240 feet north along El Camino Real (north of Jamestown Plaza); and, detached single -
family homes approximately 240 feet east along Sixth Street (behind Roma D' Italia).
While the proposed Condition 2.6 requires live entertainment to not exceed noise
standards set forth in the City's Noise Ordinance, and the Police Department has not
received any calls for service related to noise or live music for the subject location in
consideration of the nearby residential uses, the Police Department recommends that
Zoning Administrator
June 5, 2014
CUP 2014 -04
Page 5
the hours of live entertainment performances be limited to 10:00 p.m. daily. However,
staff is recommending that live entertainment performances be limited to 9:00 p.m.
weekdays and 10:00 p.m. weekends in consideration of the working residents.
Accordingly, as conditioned, the proposed live entertainment use shall be required to
cease by 9:00 p.m. on weekdays and 10:00 p.m. on weekends.
Restaurant Hours of Operation
The original approval for the restaurant use in 2006 stated that the restaurant business
hours were 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The Black Marlin wishes to expand its restaurant
hours by offering champagne brunch on Saturday and Sunday and breakfast burritos
daily in the morning and live entertainment in the evening. The hours proposed by the
applicant would be an expansion of the original hours in that the restaurant would open
earlier on all days (8:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.) and would close later between Wednesday
and Saturday (11 p.m. and 12 midnight).
The proposed restaurant opening times are compatible with other businesses in the
vicinity, such as Cream Pan Bakery and Cafe to the south, which opens at 6:00 a.m.,
and other close by restaurants such as Quinn's Old Town Grill ( Quinn's) and Roma D'
Italia which are open between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. The proposed closing times are
also similar with other businesses in the area, such as the Honda -Ya restaurant
immediately to the north, which is closed at 1:00 a.m.; the Roma D'Italia restaurant to
the southeast, which is closed at 10:30 p.m.; and Quinn's which is closed at midnight on
Saturday.
In addition, the proposed restaurant hours of operation is consistent with the Planning
Commission policy in that the Zoning Administrator may approve restaurants with
alcoholic beverage sales to be open until 11:00 p.m. on weekdays and until 12:00 a.m.
midnight on weekends. The proposed restaurant hours are similar and typical to other
restaurants in that negative impacts to the surrounding areas are not anticipated.
Parking
The original approval for restaurant and alcoholic beverage sales use (CUP 06 -009)
required the restaurant owner to secure an additional twenty -five (25) off -site parking
spaces. The applicant currently has twenty -five (25) parking spaces secured under the
City's Old Town Parking Exception Fee program, in compliance with CUP 06 -009
conditions of approval. The proposed live entertainment use is in conjunction with the
existing restaurant use, no additional seats and no expansion are proposed and
therefore no additional parking spaces are required.
FINDINGS:
In determining whether to approve the CUP for a live entertainment use in conjunction
with an existing restaurant with alcoholic beverage sales, the Zoning Administrator must
determine whether or not the proposed use will be detrimental to the health, safety,
morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood,
Zoning Administrator

CUP 2014 -04
Page 6
nor be injurious or detrimental to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of
the subject property, or to the general welfare of the City. A decision to approve this
request may be supported by the following findings:
1) Pursuant to the TCC 9270a(e), the proposed live entertainment use is allowed
within the Central Commercial (C2) and Cultural Resources (CR) zoning districts
with the approval of a CUP.
2) That the proposed restaurant hours are similar and compatible with other
businesses and restaurants in the vicinity. That the restaurant hours of operation
would be limited as follows:
a. Sunday: 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
b. Monday —Tuesday: 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
c. Wednesday— Thursday: 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
d. Friday — Saturday: 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. midnight
3) That the hours of live entertainment would be limited as follows:
a. Monday — Tuesday: No live entertainment
b. Wednesday — Thursday: 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
c. Friday — Saturday: 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
d. Sunday: 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
4) No noise impacts are anticipated as all live entertainment would be conducted
entirely within the building and would be required to comply with the City's Noise
Ordinance.
5) As conditioned, the proposed live entertainment would be compatible with the
surrounding uses and the TCC in that the proposed live entertainment would be
ancillary to the restaurant use; the types of music are typical of restaurant
entertainment that customers can enjoy while they have a meal and drinks; and
that the location of the stage is furthest away from the nearest residential area as
possible, minimizing potential noise impacts to the residents.
6) That the City's Police Department has reviewed and supports the proposed use,
as conditioned.
7) That the proposed live entertainment use is compatible with Land Use Element
Goal 10 in the City's General Plan that states "Improve and strengthen the Tustin
Old Town /First Street area with a unique pedestrian environment and diverse mix
of goods, services, and uses" in that the live entertainment, in conjunction with an
existing restaurant, will provide a unique dining and entertainment experience and
potentially become a sought -after destination in the community.
8) As conditioned, CUP 2014 -04 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 CUP 2014 -04 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 nuisance or
negative impacts or may initiate proceedings to revoke the CUP.
Staff recommends that that the Zoning Administrator
