Public Information Officer Baker forwarded the email to the Chief of Police Bueerman, Commander Tom Fitzmaurice and City Attorney Dan McHugh. The City was not aware of the event. Public Information Officer Baker read the attachment as follows, "The police department will not be employed to work at this event and therefore their age restrictions will not be put in place. Paradise Island will be held at Pharaoh's with the current conditional use permit which leaves the age limit to the discretion of the promoter of the event". Director Orci called Lt. Bill Cranfill forward with his testimony. Lt. Bill Cranfill stated Redlands Police Department had a small group of officers working outside the event and had made eight (8) arrests around the location.

Commissioner Dyer inquired if there were hazardous situations in the roadways. Planner Boatman stated there were hazards with pedestrian's jay walking across the streets and driveways, and attendees parking on both sides of the street along Orange Tree Lane, and Lugonia Avenue. Commissioner Dyer asked if the Pharaoh's parking lot was full. Planner Boatman stated when he drove by, the Pharaoh's parking lot was closed and could not confirm if the parking lot was full or not. Director Orci called Code Enforcement Officer Jim Conrod forward with his testimony. Enforcement Officer Conrod declared the code maximum is 60 dBA after 10:00 pm. Code Enforcement Officer Conrod had preformed continuance sound readings for a fifteen minute time period during the event. The reading was from 61.3 to 65.7 dBA and was in direct violation of the Community Noise Control ordinance. Planning Commission Minutes of June 23,2009 Page 2 Director Orci recommended the Planning Commission approve Resolution No. 1188 revoking Conditional Use Permit No. 617, based on the findings of the staff report. Chairman Foster invited the owner or their representative from California Gateway, to speak with the Planning Commission. Mr. Frank Mistretta Jr., California Gateway Partner, stated California Gateway was looking forward to the all night dance events to stop immediately, and is looking forward to working together for a successful resolution for all parties concerned.

Chairman Foster confirmed the City of Redlands had received a revision for Conditional Use Permit No. 617. Chairman Foster called Mr. Chet Davidson forward to speak with the Planning Commission. Mr. Chet Davidson, resident, stated he had worked in Community Development for twenty years and had never seen so many reasons to revoke a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Davidson recommended the Planning Commission follow their staff's recommendation. Mr. David Kertz, Caratt LLC, stated there are guidelines that are attached to a Conditional Use Permit that need to be followed by the applicant. Mr. Kertz declared Pharaoh's has created a hardship financially and they do not reimburse Caratt LLC for their cost on security guards, or for the time to set up barricades, to prevent the attendees to park in their private parking lots. Mr. Caratt recommended the Conditional Use Permit be revoked. Chairman Foster returned the meeting to the Commission for discussion and possible actions. Commissioner Shamp stated he was not in attendance for the last Planning Commission meeting on the item, and confirmed he will abstain from the vote. Assistant Director Dalquest stated he had prepared a motion that the revocation of the Conditional Use Permit is exempt under section 15.321 C.E.Q.A.guidelines, and should be read first before the motion of the resolution. Commissioner Dyer stated she had a statement to make. Commissioner Dyer said if Pharaoh's had applied for a Conditional Use Permit for the all night dance events it would never had been approved by the Planning Commission due to the impacts regarding noise, parking and police services. Commissioner Dyer declared it is a flagrant land use violation that needs to be terminated. Commissioner Dyer stated Pharaoh's will most likely appeal the Planning Commissions recommendation to City Council, and will force the City of Redlands into a costly litigation on an illegal land use that Mr. Arianna never had approval for. Commissioner Dyer declared it will waste the tax payers' money, drain service needs, and further exacerbate a troubled budget. Commissioner James stated the land use, general use of the facility, parking, attendance, and maintenance is in clear violation of the Conditional Use Permit No. 617, and should be revoked. Chairman Foster closed the Public Hearing. Planning Commission Minutes of June 23,2009 Page 3 MOTION It was moved by Commissioner James, seconded by Commissioner Macdonald, and carried on a 5-0 vote (Commissioner Cook absent and Commissioner Shamp abstained) that the Planning Commission determine that the revocation of Conditional Use Permit No. 617 is considered exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines pursuant to Section 15321.

Chairman Foster stated that the Planning Commission is back in session. Commissioner Miller recused himself due to a conflict of interest. Project Planner Chris Boatman gave a PowerPoint presentation and overview of the proposed project. Staff recommended approval of the project subject to the conditions of approval. Commissioner Dyer requested clarification on the western driveway. Planner Boatman clarified the route of the traffic flow. Planner Boatman stated he had spoken with Mr. Wallender (the neighbor to the north), and he was in agreement with the revisions made and was in support of the project. Commissioner Shamp recommended the applicant consider exploring the use of a light well to provide natural ventilation for the basement room. Planner Boatman stated a light well was not discussed. Chairman Foster opened up the Public Hearing. Ms. Herta Gaus, architect, expressed concern that the light well may increase the noise levels. Ms. Gaus stated she had spoken with Mr. Wallender and he indicated that if the courtyard between the sanctuary and the fellowship hall was enclosed with a block wall, his concerns would be satisfied. Ms. Gaus concurred with the mitigation measure to install a four (4) foot high wrought iron fence to provide security and pedestrian safety. Ms. Gaus stated they have competent landscape architects to design the landscaping to be aesthetically pleasing and will work with the City and Mr. Wallender until both are in agreement. Ms. Gaus requested the Commission reconsider Condition of Approval No. 10, requesting the roof drains and down Planning Commission Minutes of June 23,2009 Page 4 spouts placed on the interior of the building. The applicant would like to continue the Historical Mission style with the clay tile roof and exposed down spouts, and requested a revision to Condition of Approval No. 10.

Ms. Gaus stated they are proposing a material that resembles copper and is round in shape which will match the existing down spouts. Mr. Zak Thorp, Youth Group Pastor, stated the church and Mr. Wallender met regarding his concerns on noise. From the meeting they had the architect draw up new plans and presented the plans to Mr. Wallender, who was in agreement with the new design. Pastor Thorp stated if they have a late event it would conclude by 9:30 p.m. Commissioner Dyer requested clarification on the typical hours they would be occupying the patio. Pastor Thorp stated they will use the patio between 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. usually on Saturdays. If used on a Saturday evening it would not be past 9:30 p.m., and may have a few sessions during the week. Chairman Foster closed the Public Hearing. Chairman Foster inquired if the Commission would prefer to continue the proposed project in order to give staff time to discuss the new plan with Mr. Wallender and the applicant, to make sure they are in agreement. Commissioner Macdonald recommended the deletion of Condition of Approval No. 35 and to allow the construction of the patio, and recommended Mr. Wallender and the church resolve any differences that occur. Then in six (6) months to one (1) year, review the project to verify if the patio had been a problem. Commissioner James stated he concurred with Commissioner Macdonald. Commissioner Dyer expressed concern on the lack of setbacks to the building. Commissioner Dyer stated she is comfortable with the public safety issues and nuisance factor mitigated with the wrought iron fencing. Commissioner Dyer indicated support of the outdoor patio. Commissioner Dyer was not in support of a six (6) month review because if there was a problem with the patio, how could it be resolved. Commissioner Macdonald inquired if the proposed project came back for review in six (6) months and there was a problem, couldn't the Planning Commission condition the Conditional Use Permit to prevent the use of the patio. Director Orci confirmed the Planning Commission could include a condition. Director Orci stated it may create a regulatory issue and a future Code Enforcement problem. Commissioner Shamp stated he confirmed with Commissioner Macdonald. Chairman Foster stated he would rather not make a decision on hearsay and preferred the Commission wait for staff to have the appropriate time to speak with the neighbor and review the new design and confirm there is an agreement. Chairman Foster stated if the majority of his colleagues are leaning toward the direction of a review he will support their decision. Chairman Foster inquired on the applicant's desire of the downspouts. Commissioner Dyer stated she is in support of the down spout revision. Commissioner James stated he is in support of the down spouts as well.

Mr. Meyer declared the applicant had a study completed on the project and he had some recommendations regarding the trees. Mr. Meyer confirmed they need to widen Lugonia Avenue and install the sidewalk. There is a Water Quality element and they propose to spread it out as a meandering bio-swale. Mr. Meyer stated he will send the engineer out to locate the trees in question and compare where they fall relative to the site plan and will provide some additional information regarding the trees.

Mr. Meyer stated their traffic engineer had proposed a raised median and the left turning movements will be prohibited from Sixth Street out to Lugonia Avenue. The pedestrian crosswalk will be eliminated due to safety. Commissioner Dyer requested clarification on the pedestrian crosswalks. Mr. Meyer stated they did not want to allow the public to have access in the paseo areas for security.
