DISCUSSION
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Pennit to allow
late night activities and live entertainment in an existing bar (The Cardiff Lounge) located at 260
E. Campbell Avenue.
Background: The subject property is currently developed with a single-story, multi-tenant,
commercial building constructed in approximately 1947. There are currently three tenant spaces
in the building. The Cardiff Lounge (formerly the Bee Hive Lounge) occupies one of the tenant
spaces and has been in its current location for approximately 30 years.
Project Location: The project site is located on the south side of East Campbell Avenue, between
South First Street and South Second Street. The property is surrounded by commercial uses on
the north, east and west sides, and a parking lot to the south.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Central
Commercial. The proposed late night operational hours and live entertainment in conjunction
with the existing bar is consistent with this land use designation.
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is C-3 (Central Business
District). The C-3 Zoning District allows late night activities, occurring between 11 :00 p.m. and
6:00 a.m., and live entertainment with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed
project would be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance with approval of a Conditional Use
Permit.
Late Night Operational Hours: On April 3, 2001 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2002,
which is intended to eliminate non-permitted late night uses. The ordinance requires businesses
in the City's commercial zoning districts to obtain a Conditional Use Permit to operate between
11 :00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Even businesses that were previously "grand fathered" are required to
comply with the standard hours of operation or obtain a Conditional Use Permit from the
Planning Commission for late night operations. The Ordinance provided for a two year grace
period which gave businesses time to get their Use Permit applications into the City or modify
their hours of operation. The two year grace period expired on May 3,2003.
The applicant is requesting approval to operate between the hours of 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.,
seven days a week. The applicant has indicated in the attached business description (Attachment
#3) that the bar currently operates until 2:00 a.m. with liquor finished being served at 1 :30 a.m.
and the building emptied by 2:00 a.m. The applicant is requesting approval to maintain the
existing hours of operation this bar has operated under for approximately 30 years. Staff has
compiled in the attached table (Attachment #4) information about the other similar businesses in
Downtown Campbell that have approval to operate past 11 :00 p.m. and have approval for live
entertainment.
Staff is not proposing to modify the requested hours of operation because the business is
primarily surrounded by other commercial uses and is a sufficient distance from any residential
uses that would be burdened by adjacent late night operations. Staff is recommending two
Staff Report - Planning Com._.ission Meeting of December 14,2004
PLN2004-63 - 260 E. Campbell Avenue
Page 3
conditions of approval that require the back door to be closed at all times during business hours
and that no loitering be allowed in the parking lot behind, or to the side of the business.
Live Entertainment: Live entertainment is permitted within the C-3 Zoning District, subject to
the approval of a Conditional Use Permit and approval of a Live Entertainment Pennit by the
City Council. The applicant is proposing to have live entertainment in conjunction with the
Cardiff Lounge business seven days a week between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 1 :30 a.m. The
attached project description (Attachment #3) indicates that the types oflive entertainment offered
at the establishment would consist oflive D.J.'s, three piece bands, and karaoke.
Use Permit Review: Staff is recommending a condition of approval that allows for the review of
the Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission if verified noise complaints are
received as a result of the live entertainment or late night operational hours. If staff is unable to
immediately resolve the matter with the business owner/operator, the Community Development
Director may immediately modify the hours of operation and/or prohibit the live entertainment,
subject to the project being brought back to the Planning Commission for review.
Exterior Modifications: No exterior modifications to the building are proposed in conjunction
with the proposed application. Staff is recommending a condition of approval that requires the
applicant to provide a new trash/recycling enclosure in the parking lot behind the building within
three months of the date of approval.
Police Department Review: The Campbell Police Department has reviewed the application and
has no concerns or objections to the proposed late night operational hours and live entertainment
at this location.
They have recommended that two conditions of approval be added which require that the
applicant process a Live Entertainment Permit with the Police Department and provide one
bonded, certified (guard card), uniformed, security guard for every 50 patrons in conjunction
with the live entertainment.
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee did
not review this application, as there are no proposed changes to the exterior of the building or
site configuration.

business in Campbell, CA for over 20+ years. Recently renovated in January 2003 by
new management and ownership, we pride our selves on delivering excellent service and
the way we operate our business with professionalism. We have a proven track record of
success and to date have not had any problems with the city or local neighbors. We have
established and maintained great working relationships with the local police department
and have continued to be very conscious and sensitive to the community and it's needs.
We are constantly in regular contact with the neighbors who are in close proximity to us
and we have established an open line of communication if there are any problems or
issues. We have advised them that they can call me direct on my cell phone at any time
and they are aware that it is my goal/intent to be a good neighbor.

Potential Concerns:
1. Late night noise. Solution - Once all customers have exited the building, security
will also clear the parking lot of any individuals who are loitering and will end
any potential noise problems.
2. Additional noise due to staff clean up, trash and recycling. Solution - All trash
will be removed fÌ'om the building in the morning as well as clean up and
janitorial.
