PUBLIC HEARINGS 20 Adoption of Zonin.q Regulations and Licensing of Adult Businesses RECOMMENDATION: 20.1 Find that there is no substantial evidence that the proposed Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment and adopt the Negative Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act for the proposed Ordinance 20.2 Adopt an urgency ordinance entitled: ORDINANCE NO. 98-18 AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA PROVIDING FOR THE ZONING REGULATION AND LICENSING OF ADULT BUSINESSES MAKING FINDINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEED FOR SUCH REGULATIONS 20.3 Introduce and read by title only an ordinance entitled: ORDINANCE NO. 98-19 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA PROVIDING FOR THE ZONING REGULATION AND LICENSING OF ADULT BUSINESSES AND MAKING FINDINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEED FOR SUCH REGULATIONS Community Development Director Thornhill presented the staff report (as per agenda material), advising that the proposed zoning regulations will regulate, through a 9 Conditional Use Permit process, adult businesses; that prior to 1996, the City had no regulations governing these uses; and that since 1996, the City has been operating with an intedm Ordinance which will expire in two days. By way of overheads, Mr. Thornhill reviewed the originally proposed Adult Business Oveday to the proposed Oveday. City Attorney Thorson further addressed the staff report (of record) in particular the Summary of Legal Issues Affecting Regulation of Adult Businesses, Summary of Terms of Proposed Adult Business Ordinance, and A vailable Parcels for Adult Businesses. Mr. Thorson noted that if the proposed Ordinance were adopted, a property owner will continue to retain the same rights of refusal to rent. With regard to the differences between the interim Ordinance and the proposed Ordinance, Mr. Thorson advised that although they are quite similar, the proposed Ordinance would permit fewer available sites of such businesses. In response to Councilman Stone, City Attorney Thorson advised that, as per the California Courts, the City may not impose fees to an adult business owner in order to recover costs of additionally needed police services as a result of such a business, noting that, as per California statutes, such costs are only recoverable with regard to an alcohol-related accident. Since each adult business permit will require the compliance with CEQA, Mr. Thorson advised that specific concerns may be addressed through the permit renewal process. For the Councilmembers, Mr. Thorson clarified that the proposed Ordinance is the compilation of several cities' ordinances such as Irvine and Mission Viejo. In addition to the applicant of an adult business being required to proceed with the Conditional Use Permit process and a public hearing, Councilman Lindemans requested that the applicant be required to post a Performance Bond with the Police Department in order to cover the additional Police protection costs necessary as a result of such a business. At this time, Mayor Roberts opened the public hearing. Although understanding the need for such an Ordinance, Mr. Wayne Hall, 42131 Agena Street, stated that, in his opinion, adult businesses create undesirable elements and, therefore, relayed his opposition to such businesses. Mr. David Micheal, 30300 Churchill Court, suggested, echoed by Mayor Roberts and Councilman Stone, the installation of a security system which would visually record and monitor interior and parking lot area activities. Mr. James Field, 41651 Chablis Court, Pastor of First Baptist Church, relayed his opposition to such businesses in this community. There being no additional input, Mayor Roberts closed the public hearing. Commenting on the difficulty of this issue, Councilman Stone relayed his concern with regard to the Overlay as it relates to Jefferson Avenue as well as the Mall. Having reviewed the proposed Ordinance and understanding the need for it, Mr. Stone reluctantly spoke in support of the Ordinance with the added condition that a security cameras be installed. 10 Viewing the proposed Ordinance as strengthening tool of the existing interim Ordinance, Mayor Pro Tem Ford spoke in support of the Ordinance. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Ford, City Attorney Thorson advised that the City Council may impose a condition requiring the installation and maintenance of video cameras to monitor intedor and parking lot area activities and that existing provisions provide the Council the authority to view these video tapes. Opposing the proposed Overlay Zone near the freeway, Councilman Lindemans spoke in support of the Ordinance with the imposition of a condition requiring the applicant to post a $50,000 security bond and requested that the issue be split into two separate motions. Commending the City Attorney on his efforts associated with the formulation of this Ordinance, Mayor Roberts spoke in support of the Ordinance with the addition that security cameras be required. Because the proposed Ordinance will actually increase the restrictions imposed on adult businesses and decrease the number of available sites, Councilman Stone stated that the proposed Ordinance will regulate such uses not permit them and, therefore, spoke in support of the Ordinance. City Attorney Thorson reiterated and clarified that the proposed condition with regard to secudty cameras will be reflected under the following Sections of the Code: 5.09.012 (Y), 5.09.016 (I), and 5.09,018 (H) and will read as follows: The Adult Business shall install and maintain security cameras to monitor activities in the interior and on the parking lot and areas surrounding the building. The Adult Business shall maintain tapes for 30 days and the equipment shaft be maintained in good working order. City Attorney Thorson read by title only both the Urgency Ordinance as well as Ordinance No. 98-19. MOTION: Councilman Stone moved to adopt the Urgency Ordinance as amended to include a condition regarding security cameras. The motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Ford. (This motion ultimately passed; see below.) In response to the proposed motion, Councilman Lindemans reiterated his opposition with the proposed Overlay Zone and offered the following substitute motion: SUBSTITUTE MOTION: Councilman Lindemans moved to concur with the staff recommendation but to delete the proposed Overlay Zone. Due to the lack of a second, this motion failed. At this time, voice vote on the originally made motion reflected unanimous approval. MOTION: Councilman Stone moved to concur with staff recommendation 20.1. The motion was seconded by Councilman Comerchero and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. 11 MOTION: Councilman Stone moved to introduce and read by title only Ordinance No. 98-19. The motion was seconded by Councilman Comerchero and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. In closing, Councilman Lindemans requested that City Attorney Thorson further research the possibility of requiring the applicant of an adult business to post a security bond.
