CUP Nos. 2019-10 and 2019-11 October 14, 2019 Page 6 investigated these items and was not able to find supporting evidence substantiating the allegations. Staff requested Police Department assistance to determine if after-hours operations were occurring on the premises. A Police Department site visit in mid -September at 12:30 a.m. verified that the restaurant was closed per City regulations. Further, an updated records search of Police activity identified two calls for service at this location since the April Planning Commission meeting. One call for service was for disturbing the peace (music related), with the other call a report of a stolen vehicle. Finally, Code Enforcement records have been reviewed to identify any recent activity. There have not been any recent complaints at Mariscos Hector. Staff is sensitive to the concerns of the community and will continue to follow-up on nuisance complaints generated from the premises. Staff is also aware that the applicant has made an effort to address any issues that have arisen from the restaurant. The Police Department has received minimal calls for service from this facility and does not consider this site to be a nuisance location. To address any unforeseen circumstances, staff recommends that a condition be added to require a six-month review of the site to verify compliance with operational standards associated with an ABC license and with the conditions of approval. It is further recommended that the Planning Commission continue the request to operate after-hours for six months, which will provide staff the ability to analyze any impacts from the ABC license upgrade.
