Housing and Redevelopment Director Meyer reviewed the staff report (as per agenda material).
At this time, Mayor Stone opened the public hearing.
Commending the City Council/Redevelopment Agency on its efforts associated with Old Town,
Mr. Al Rattan, 28751 Rancho California Road, Suite No. 207, Renaissance Builders, relayed his
support of the proposed project and encouraged the City Council/Redevelopment Agency to
approve this project.
Considering the need for a Minor Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and in light of the proposed
site's close proximity to a church, Ms. Alison Hannah, 28822 Old Town Front Street, expressed
her opposition to the proposed project.
For Ms. Hannah, Deputy City Manager Thornhill clarified that restaurants that serve beer and
wine are not required to obtain CUPs, noting that Ms. Hannah's project would classify as a
nightclub, not a restaurant and, therefore, a CUP would be required for that particular use.
City Attorney Thorson also noted that the request before the Council/Agency would be the sale
of the property and its associated requirements and that the planning issues would be
discussed at a later time.
There being no additional public input, Mayor Stone closed the public hearing.
Councilman/Agency Member Pratt relayed his appreciation of Ms. Hannah's input.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem/Agency Member Naggar Stone moved to approve staff
recommendation. The motion was seconded by Councilman/Agency Member Comerchero.
(Voice vote, on page 3, reflected unanimous approval.)
Speaking on the quality of the proposed project, Councilman/Agency Member Comerchero
commented on the positive impacts it will have on Old Town and, therefore, relayed his support
of this project.
Echoing Councilman/Agency Member Comerchero's comment, Mayor Pro Tern/Agency
Member Naggar complemented the Bailys and expressed his support of this project.
Fully supporting this project, Councilman Roberts/Chairman Roberts as well commented on the
positive impacts this project will have on Old Town.
Commenting on other upcoming developments in Old Town such as the Museum and Theater,
Mayor Stone/Agency Member Stone viewed the proposed project as a pilot project that will
assist with promoting a night life to the Old Town area.
