2. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2017-07: STATUS UPDATE FOR THE KARAOKE
MUSIC STUDIO AT 14561 & 14571 RED HILL AVENUE
On April 26, 2017, the Community Development Department received an
application to extend the karaoke music studio's hours of operation to 2:00 a.m.,
stating that the business was unable to attract customers due to its inability to stay
open until 2:00 a.m., similar to other karaoke businesses.
At the public hearing on June 13, 2017, the Planning Commission unanimously
approved an extension of operating hours for a karaoke music studio located at
14561 & 14571 Red Hill Avenue to 2:00 a.m. The Planning Commission
requested that staff report back to the Commission in three (3) months to provide a
status report on the business operation. This is a status update of the karaoke
studio.
