BY: F'A k & -cAYz� 1
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Nelson Miller, Director of Community Development
DATE: February 9, 1999 (For CC Meeting of February 17, 1999)
SUBJECT: Consider Update on El Rodeo Restaurant (79 E. High
Street)
Discussion
The City Council has previously considered issues relating to
this business, especially Sheriff's calls for service and
contacts at this location. It was also referred it to the
Community Development Committee for review. Concerns were also
expressed regarding the nightclub which was proposed to be added
to this business at 95 High Street. As previously reported, the
owners have now indicated that they do not intend to pursue the
nightclub and a Zoning Clearance has been approved for another
applicant for operation of a music and jewelry store at 95 High
Street.
Possible revocation of the Conditional Use Permit for the
nightclub has been discussed. Conditional Use Permit No. 98 -2
was approved by the City Council on August 19, 1998. The
Conditional Use Permit will expire one year after that date if
not inaugurated, so it would expire on August 19, 1999. The
City Attorney has advised that a revocation would need to follow
the processes prescribed in the Code, which include a public
hearing before Planning Commission, who could then refer it to
City Council for consideration at a public hearing, since it was
approved by City Council after review of the Planning Commission
determination for denial. A revocation determination would need
to be based upon findings and evidence to support the
determination of revocation. The City could initiate a hearing
to consider revocation, which include development of mailing
labels and mailing of notice, advertising, and posting of the

property. These would be at City expense as would staff time
for processing and preparation of reports and resolutions.
It was suggested that staff determine if the owners are willing
to modify the hours of operation of the business which were a
condition of the Administrative Permit for an establishment
selling beer and wine in conjunction with an eating place.
Staff met with two of the owners, Javier and Isias Hernandez, on
February 8, 1999. They indicated that they want to work to
resolve any problems and have voluntarily closed at 9:30 p.m.
since January 20, 1999, following a meeting with Captain Lewis
and Councilmember Evans. They have also implemented other
measures to reduce problems, including improving security
measures, additional review of customers, and raising the price
of beer to $3.00. There have been no reports of further
incidents or contacts at this location since the last report to
Council. The owners did indicate they would like to retain the
pool table and extend closing hours to 11:00 p.m., since they do
have customers who socialize around the pool table. In order to
require modification of the conditions of the Administrative
Permit a hearing with notice would also be necessary, with
findings and evidence to support the modifications. The
noticing and processing of such a modification would be at City
expense.
Staff Recommendation:
Direct staff as deemed appropriate.
