Conditional Use Permit - Live Entertainment Permit
File No.: PLN 2003-116
33 S. Central Avenue - Guiseppe's
Dear Ms. Bem:
The Planning Division has reviewed the your application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow
live entertainment and late night hours in conjunction with the restaurant at 33 S. Central
Avenue. In effect, your request is to operate a nightclub in addition to the restaurant that includes
the sale of liquor without food services, dancing and live entertainment. The granting of a
Conditional Use Permit for this kind of change of use would require approval by the Planning
Commission and would be decided upon at a public hearing. The subsequent Live Entertainment
Permit application that is processed by the Police Department would be considered by the City
Council after the Planning Commission's consideration of the Conditional Use Permit.
Your application was routed for review by staff. Based upon this review, staff has concluded that
approval of a Conditional Use Permit will not be recommended to the Planning Commission due
to a conflict with the goals and objectives of the Downtown Development Plan and the
Redevelopment Agency's Five Year Implementation Plan. A goal of this plan is to maintain a
balance of retail and restaurant uses in the downtown area. The conversion of the restaurant into
a nightclub for after hours use increases the concentration of live entertainment permits within
the downtown. The addition of an entertainment use after 10:00 p.m. is not viewed as ancillary to
the existing restaurant use and consequently is not supported as a desirable balance of uses in the
downtown area. The Central Business District allows limited live entertainment in conjunction
with a standard restaurant as a permitted use without a Conditional use permit. A copy of this
zoning District is enclosed for your information. If you wish to withdraw your application at this
time, we will recommend that your application fee be refunded.
If you wish to still pursue your request with a negative staff recommendation you may do so.
Based upon review of the submitted application, the application has been deemed incomplete.
The following additional information and details are needed in order to deem your application
complete and schedule it for the Planning Commission's consideration:
70 North First Street · Campbell, California 95008-1436 · TEL 408.866.2140 · FAX 408.871 .5140 · TDD 408.866.2790
