A. The following are general requirements which may, among others, be required as conditions of a Conditional Use Permit to establish, expand or modify an Alcoholic Beverage Establishment:

1. The operation of an alcoholic beverage establishment shall be the responsibility of the permittee personally (if an individual is the permittee) or a manager or designated responsible employee of the permittee at all times.

The permittee shall designate the names of all such managers and designated responsible employees in the application and shall advise the Community Development Director in writing whenever any change is made.

2. The permittee personally (if an individual is the permittee) or a manager or a designated responsible employee shall be on the premises at all times during the conduct of business.

3. All employees shall complete a program recognized by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) as a qualified Responsible Beverage Service Program prior to the commencement of a new business or within ninety (90) days of hire for new employees. The manager of an alcoholic beverage establishment shall maintain on the premises a file containing the certificates of training for all employees.

4. The Planning Commission and City Council shall have the right to impose conditions upon the conditional use permit as are necessary for the protection of the peace, health, welfare and safety of those persons living or working in the vicinity or neighborhood.

5. The alcoholic beverage establishment shall be operated in such a manner so that it at no time violates zoning standards regarding noise generation. The applicant shall present a Noise Management Plan to the Community Development Director prior to the commencement of the use. Said plan shall establish the method by which noise impacts including but not limited to amplified music and patron noise from within the facility as well as patrons/pedestrians outside of the facility on the adjacent public sidewalk/street will be regulated to avoid disruption to the immediate neighborhood. Should complaints be received regarding noise disruption the applicant shall take reasonable and practical steps as directed by the Community Development Director to reduce the intensity, number and/or occurrences of these disruptions. Said steps may include but are not limited to the reduction of the number and/or volume of microphones, amplifiers and speakers; the installation of certain physical improvements designed to attenuate noise generation; the relocation of patron waiting/queuing areas to a location found to be acceptable to the Community Development Director; and/or the reduction in hours for the commercial recreation activities. The Community Development Director may require the preparation of an acoustical evaluation to quantify the noise levels and to suggest appropriate attenuation measures. Such an evaluation shall be funded by the applicant and directed by the Community Development Director to be performed with no notice to owner/operator.

6. A security plan shall be prepared including, but not limited to, the periods of time and staffing levels for security personnel, duties, responsibilities and qualifications of security staff for review and approval by the Chief of Police within 14 days of this Conditional Use Permit approval.

7. Bar personnel shall check identification (I.D.) at the front door to insure patrons are of legal age to enter.

8. At closing time or during special events, crowd control by qualified security personnel shall be provided to insure safety and orderly conduct in front of the premises. Sidewalks shall be kept open for pedestrian traffic at all times.

9. The Community Development Director and Chief of Police shall be notified a minimum of ten (10) days in advance of special events that may attract larger than normal crowds. The Chief of Police may require and the owner/operator shall provide additional qualified security personnel on site to provide adequate crowd control.

10. Exterior lighting shall be installed as necessary to adequately illuminate the sidewalk or other public way in front of the business at closing time. This lighting will insure the safety of patrons and discourage loitering in front of the business.

11. The applicant shall, for the first 6 months, schedule a monthly meeting with the Community Development Director and Chief of Police in order to identify and mitigate any noise/parking/lighting problems and/or neighborhood concerns.

12. The applicant shall comply with Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) laws and regulations. Suspension of the applicant's license by the ABC may constitute sufficient cause or basis for review and possible revocation of a conditional use permit.

13. A conditional use permit for an alcoholic beverage establishment may be recalled to the Planning Commission for review at any time due to complaints regarding lack of compliance with conditions of approval, traffic congestion, noise generation, or other adverse operating characteristics. At such time, the Commission may revoke the conditional use permit or add/modify conditions of approval.
