Mr. Adams informed the Commission that Conditional Use Permit No. 98-15 had been continued to allow

Madam Chair Verino stated that the public hearing had been previously conducted and would not be
reopened.
Mr. Larry Lake, representing the applicant, indicated the applicant had reviewed the conditions of approval
and requested that condition numbers 14 and 15 related to the security guard be waived due to the location
not having problems. In addition, he stated that requiring the applicant to obtain a security guard currently
was an unfair burden to the applicant and suggested that if a guard was necessary, staff had the opportunity
to require a guard during the review periods, if there was an increase in the crime rate. He further
referenced the Planning Division condition of approval number six and requested that the applicant be
allowed to lease the site located at 419 East First Street and not allow the lessor the ability to sell alcoholic
beverages.
Commissioner Mondo asked what factors were surrounding the request for the security guard at the location.

guazds in the high crime rate areas throughout the City. That if the guard was not required, the Police
Department would have to handle more service calls at the location.
