report on the following items. The items and staffs response to each of the items are set forth below. 1. Schedule for 18 year-old dance nights 2. Color of the Rocks facility building 3. Enforcement of the Title 47 alcohol license 4. Potential drunk driving concerns. 5. Designation of parking spaces for Rocks Club patrons 6. Incorporation of the security plan 7. Potential adult entertainment uses 8. Potential car cruising on Valley Boulevard 9. Parking agreements 1. Schedule for 18 year-old nights. As of the time this report was written no agreement had been reached on the issue of restricting the number of nights that the Rocks Club will sponsor 18 year-old dance nights. Staff recommended that the applicant agree to hold no more than three such dance nights each week. The applicant will address this issue at the meeting. 2. Color of the Rocks Club building. Because the building has gone through the design review process the City may not require the applicant to repaint the building as a condition of obtaining the dance permit. However, the applicant may agree to do so. 3. Type 47 License. The City Attorney contacted a representative of the local Alcohol and Beverage Control office in Riverside. ABC has informed us that the Rocks Club has a Title 47 License. This license is a general on sale license for an eating place or restaurant. The license authorizes the applicant to sell beer and wine and distilled spirits on the premises so long as the place is maintained as a bona fide eating place. The business must make actual and substantial sales of meals, during normal meal hours that they are open, at least five days a week. Normal mealtimes must be between 6:00am 9:00am, 11:00am - 2:OOpm; and 6:OOpm - 9:OOpm. Minors are allowed on the premises with this type of license. Basically the Type 47 license is much like a Type 48 license for a bar or night club. Minors may be present with a Type 47 license because the facility serves food. (Copies of information pages from the ABC's website are attached.) Additionally on 3-31-99, Staff questioned a supervisor with the Alcohol Beverage Control if minors could be restricted from the bar area. The ABC Supervisor informed staff that with a type 47 license minors are allowed on the premises and could not be restricted from the bar area. Staff has requested a representative from ABC to be present at the April 6 1999 Council Meeting to address and respond to any specific questions the Council may have regarding the applicants type 47 license. 4. Potential drunk driving concerns. The city council's concerns about an increase in drunk drivers leaving the Rocks Club are of course valid concerns. There is no doubt that a few individuals leaving any restaurant or club that sells alcoholic beverages will drive a car away from the business when such people are considered legally intoxicated. This is a real concern for the RVPUBVSRC\42630
