The existing hookah lounge operates as a Membership Club with a Conditional Use Permit, Planning Application PA08-0196, which was approved by the Director of Community Development in November of 2008. In order to operate as a hookah lounge, Starbuzz Hookah utilizes the "Small Business Exception" of Labor Code Section 6404.5 that exempts the business from smoking restrictions required for places of employment. These restrictions require: (1) all employees who enter the establishment must consent to the smoking; (2) air is exhausted directly outside by an exhaust fan; (3) the employer complies with all applicable state and federal ventilation standards. On November 16, 2015, the applicant, Mohammad Shaath, requested a Modification to the existing Conditional Use Permit to allow for live indoor entertainment. The applicant is requesting live indoor entertainment for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. The proposed live indoor entertainment will operate from 8 p.m. until 12 a.m. Live indoor entertainment is proposed to include a disc jockey (DJ), karaoke jockey (KJ), or small bands. Hours of operation for the hookah lounge will remain the same (5 p.m. to 1 a.m. daily). No alcohol will be served. Live indoor entertainment is proposed in order to increase the amount of customers visiting the hookah lounge. Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval. ANALYSIS Conditional Use Permit The applicant is requesting that the Director of Community Development authorize a Modification to the existing Conditional Use Permit to allow for live indoor entertainment at the existing hookah lounge located at 32483 Temecula Parkway, Suites 108 and 109. Live indoor entertainment is proposed to be permitted on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings between the hours of 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. The applicant is not requesting any additional changes to the Statement of Operations, and will maintain the existing hookah lounge hours. No alcohol or off site tobacco sales are proposed. All customers are required to be members. Starbuzz Hookah Lounge is currently surrounded by a variety of commercial and retail uses within the existing shopping center. Uses include Diamond Vapor Lounge, Pro Happy Nails & Spa, Sunset Barber Shop, Hi Tofu, La Cocina Bar & Grill, Bongiorno's New York Pizzeria, So Good Gluten Free Bakery and Cafe, Killarney's Restaurant & Irish Pub, Bahama Bucks, Uncle Bob's Sports Bar, Corner Bakery and The Tutoring Center. Due to the nature of The Tutoring Center (an after school tutoring center), staff researched the hours of operation for The Tutoring Center and found that the location is closed on Saturday and Sundays. On Fridays, the location is by appointment only, while the rest of the week, the location closes by 7:30 p.m. The proposed hours of operation for the live indoor entertainment start at 8:00 p.m. and is therefore not anticipated to interfere with The Tutoring Center's operations. The nearest residential uses are located approximately 500' to the north of the project, and approximately 880' south of the project. To address possible concerns regarding the residential uses, staff researched a recently approved Conditional Use Permit for Uncle Bob's Sports Bar that included live indoor entertainment. No Code Enforcement complaints were found. Staff also reached out to the City XAP1anning\2015\PA15-1714 Starbuzz Minor M0D\P1ann1ng\DH\PA15-1714 Staff Report.dou 2 of Fullerton and the City of Riverside to examine any issues with live entertainment at existing Starbuzz Hookah Lounge locations located within those cities. The City of Fullerton had no Code Enforcement issues related to Starbuzz Hookah Lounge. The City of Riverside did have a Code Enforcement issue with unpermitted live entertainment, an issue that was rectified with the submittal and approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Staff reached out to the Temecula Police Department and no calls for service have been recorded for Starbuzz Hookah Lounge. Additionally, the Problem Oriented Policing Team (POP) has not had any issues in the last year. Based on the above analysis and information, the Modification to the existing Conditional Use Permit meets all applicable Development Code requirements and is compatible with adjacent uses, buildings and structures. The site will be required to be in conformance with all California Building Code, California Fire Code, and California Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements. LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS Notice of the public hearing was published in the U-T San Diego on March 3, 2016 and mailed to the property owners within the required 600-foot radius. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review per CEQA Section 15301 Class 1 Existing Facilities. Starbuzz Hookah Lounge currently operates in an existing shopping center. No new development is proposed. Subsequently, it has been determined that the project qualifies for an exemption under CEQA Section 15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS February 19, 2016 ANNEX A Statement of Operations Starbuzz Hookah Lounge Temecula(the"CompanX") is seeking a minor conditional use permit (the"Permit") in order to accommodate live entertainment for a limited period of time each week on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. On a typical Friday, Saturday or Sunday night, we maintain two (2) to three (3) employees and serve anywhere from sixty(60) to one hundred sixty(160) customers over the course of the evening. During these evenings, we play music from a paid service over the lounge's speaker system—typically Top 40, Hip-Hop/R&B, Electronic and/or Rock. During the week we maintain one (1) or two (employees), and see a smaller volume of customers. With the introduction of limited live entertainment(i.e. a disc jockey(the"DY), karaoke jockey(the"KJ") or small band), we do not expect our typical operations to change in a significant manner. We would expect the number of customers to increase on a given Friday, Saturday or Sunday, based solely on the presence of the DJ or KJ; however, we would not expect a large increase in customers based upon the inclusion of live entertainment during the week. In order to handle the potential increase in the number of customers on the weekend, we would expect to maintain four(4) to five (5) employees, not including the presence of the DJ or KJ (whom will be working without additional staff or accompaniment). For purposes of clarity, neither the DJ nor the KJ shall, for any reason whatsoever,be considered to be employees of the Company. The presence of any potential live entertainment, aside from the possible increase in customers, should not have a material effect on the business or our other operations. The hours of operation on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings will remain 5 PM until IAM Pacific Standard time. The DJ and KJ will play Electronic, Hip-Hop and Rock as is typically played at the lounge from 8PM until 12AM and will be located indoors only. Any live entertainment will have the option to utilize the in-lounge speaker system or utilize their own brand of speaker equipment; however, the overall volume should not be affected, and we would not expect the music to reach a volume as is maintained by other businesses in our center who also utilize live entertainment. As always, there will be no alcohol available on any live entertainment day or night, which is consistent with the Company's policy towards alcohol and outside. A limited supply of snacks (chips, candy, etc.) and non-alcoholic beverages (water, soft drinks, energy drinks) will be available for purchase, as is customary for the daily operations of the Company. In order to accommodate the presence of a DJ or any other live entertainment, there will be a small number of tables moved throughout the interior of the premises, as indicated in the two floor plans included in this application. Aside from this small change in layout, there will be no additional changes to the interior or exterior of the premises. There will be no additional tables and/or chairs provided; there will be no additional parking, restrooms, or other structures and fixtures to be utilized. Pricing,products, hours, and service will all remain consistent with the past practices of the Company.
