RECOMMENDATION:
Uphold, Reverse, or Modify the Planning Commission's decision to approve
Conditional Use Permit PA -16-55 to allow live entertainment including, but not limited
to, music, dancing, and open microphones, for an entertainment venue (Holiday,
formerly Lion's Den and Maison) within 200 feet of residentially -zoned properties,
and on-site valet parking. A current public entertainment permit allows disc jockey
entertainment (DJ) and dancing. Proposed hours of operation are from 7:00 a.m. to
2:00 a.m., seven days a week; proposed hours for live entertainment are 11:00 a.m.
to 2:00 a.m., seven days a week.
The Planning Commission's approval was called up for review by a Council Member.
APPLICANT/AUTHORIZED AGENT
The applicant/authorized agent is Pacific Planning Group Inc., representing Pange
Family Trust, the property owner.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Project Site/Environs
The subject property is located on the south side of West 19th Street, between
Wallace Avenue and Pomona Avenue. The site is bounded by a commercial use to
the east (Smart and Final Market), a multi -tenant commercial building to the west,
and various commercial uses to the north across West 19th Street. The site abuts
residential properties to the south. The subject site and surrounding commercial
properties are zoned C1 (Local Business District) and has a General Plan Land Use
Designation of General Commercial. The residential properties to the rear are zoned
R2 -HD (Multiple Family Residential -High Density) and has a General Plan Land Use
Designation of High Density Residential.
Site History
Retail Center
The subject property contains two multi -tenant commercial buildings on two separate
parcels originally constructed in the early 1960's. The parcels are under the same
owner and are also tied together via a recorded reciprocal access agreement. Other
uses within the retail center includes restaurants, a laundromat, a medical clinic, and
retail shops.
The site is currently striped with 80 on-site parking spaces at the front of both
buildings; the parking spaces at the rear of the subject building (adjacent to the
residential properties) are not striped. Vehicular access is provided from two
driveways on West 19th Street and a single driveway on Wallace Avenue. The rear
drive aisle and parking area of the subject building (abutting the residential
properties) has rolling vehicle gates at both ends of the building; the gate at the
easterly end of the building abuts the Smart & Final property and allows trash and
delivery vehicles to access the subject property through the Smart and Final parking
lot when the gate is open or unlocked. The subject property is separated from the
existing residential properties to the south by a 5 -foot high block wall with 2 feet of
wood fencing on top of the block wall, and mature trees on the residential side of the
property (see site photos attached).
Bar/Lounge
According to the City's building permit records, the subject tenant space has been
used as a cocktail bar/lounge since 1963, when it was also used as a restaurant.
Prior to its current name (Holiday), its previous names were Lion's Den and Maison.
Zoning Code Section 13-47 requires eating and drinking establishments with
alcoholic beverage sales, entertainment, and dancing within 200 feet of residentially -
zoned property, and open past 11:00 pm, to have a conditional use permit; however,
as the business was established in the early 1960's, it predates this requirement and
is nonconforming.
Public Entertainment Permit
Although the establishment does not have a conditional use permit, it is required to
have a Public Entertainment Permit (PEP) in accordance with Costa Mesa Municipal
Code (CMMC) Title 9, Article 11 (Regulatory Permits for Public Entertainment). The
PEP for this establishment has been issued annually by the Code Enforcement
Division since the 1980's. A copy of the current PEP, which expires on November
10, 2017, is attached to the Planning Commission report for reference.
It should be noted that prior to 2010, the PEP allowed Lion's Den to have live
entertainment; however, when the PEP was renewed in November of that year, the
operator at the time (Beverly Corrigan) discontinued providing live entertainment,
deciding to provide recorded music (DJ) and dancing only. A copy of the November
2010 PEP, with the operator's request to discontinue live entertainment, is also
attached to the Planning Commission report for reference.
State Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License
The establishment is permitted to operate with a State Alcoholic Beverage Control
(ABC) License Type 48 (On -Sale General, Public Premise). According to the license
query system on the State ABC website, a copy of which is attached to the Planning
Commission report, the license is currently active and there are no disciplinary
actions related to the license on file with ABC. The conditional use permit, whether it
is approved or denied, will not affect the existing ABC license.
Building Safety and Fire Prevention Activity
According to City records, the interior layout of the establishment was unchanged
under Beverly Corrigan, the operator of Lion's Den. A copy of the original floor plan
layout is attached to this report. The operator of Maison, Roland Barrera, acquired the
lease and assumed operation of the establishment in October 2014. On March 18,
2015, the Building Safety Division, based on a resident complaint, conducted an
inspection and issued a Stop Work Notice for construction that was occurring within the
tenant space without building permits. On March 20, 2015, after further inspection by
the Building Safety and Fire Prevention inspectors, the building was determined to be
unsafe to occupy and issued a "Red Tag." As part of the stop work and red tag
notices, the operator was required to do the following:
• Submit plans to the Building Safety Division for plan check and obtain the
necessary Building Safety and Fire Prevention permits;
• Obtain any required inspections and approvals; and
• Obtain approval of a Conditional Use Permit from the Planning Division for live
entertainment.
Status of Building and Fire Safety Permits and Inspections
Tenant improvement plans were submitted to the Building Safety Division for plan
check on May 7, 2015. The 4,679 square foot space is divided into two areas
described below and indicated in the plans attached to this report:
• Phase 1 (Holiday Room): A 3,063 square foot space with a raised stage floor,
2 raised seating areas, a main lounge with bar, storage rooms, and restrooms.
• Phase 2 (Red Room): A 1,616 square foot space with a smaller lounge area
with bar.
Building permits for Phase 1 were issued by the Building Safety Division on July 1,
2015 and finaled by the building inspection staff on September 16, 2015. Building
permits for Phase 2 were issued by the Building Safety Division on August 4, 2016.
Construction for Phase 2 was completed on October 18, 2016.

Code Enforcement Activity
A code enforcement case was opened on March 18, 2015 against the prior operator,
Roland Barrera, for construction without permits (see Building Safety and Fire
Prevention Activity). The case was closed when the current operator obtained the
permits required by those departments as described earlier in this report. The
Community Services/Code Enforcement Division received a complaint in late July 2016
regarding noise, but the complainant did not call police and Code Enforcement staff
found no evidence to substantiate the complaint. Code Enforcement staff has not
received any additional noise complaints since July 2016. Since the July 2016
complaint, Code Enforcement staff has visited the site and has not found any concerns
regarding noise emanating from this location.
Police Calls for Service
Between August 1, 2015 and August 23, 2016 there were 215 calls for service at the
specific location according to the Police Department Crime Analysis Unit. Of the 215
calls, 166 were self -initiated by police patrols (subject stop, patrol checks, traffic stops,
and bike stops). Calls to a bar/lounge would typically be disturbance calls, loud music
calls, and drugs and alcohol-related calls occurring during the establishment's business
hours or just after closing. Additional calls for Police Service from August 24, 2016 to
September 20, 2016, and September 21, 2016 to October 30, 2016 are also attached
to this report (Attachment 9).
CUP Request for Live Entertainment Venue and Valet Parking (PA -16-55)
Holiday opened to the public on July 15, 2016. As indicated earlier, live entertainment
was discontinued at the establishment in late 2010. Because the current operator is
proposing live entertainment for an establishment open past 11:00 p.m. and within 200
feet of residentially -zoned properties, approval of a conditional use permit is required.
Live entertainment including, but not limited to, music, dancing, and open microphones
is proposed. The proposed hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., 7 days a
week. The applicant indicates that light breakfast and lunch items may be served,
however, the main use (bar/lounge with live entertainment) begins operating after 11:00
a.m. until 2:00 a.m. A valet parking plan is proposed in the event it becomes necessary
to prevent overflow patron parking onto adjacent properties and streets.
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission considered the project at its September 12, 2016, meeting.
During the hearing 7 persons spoke in favor of the request and 3 spoke in opposition.
Written correspondence both in opposition and in support are also attached to this report.
During their deliberations, the Commissioners expressed the following opinions and
points of view regarding the proposed project:
• The Commission noted that the sound attenuation measures proposed by the
applicant's noise consultant would decrease the noise impacts to abutting residents.
• The Commission noted the applicant's outreach to the abutting neighbors, including
an offer to install noise meters at their homes to monitor the noise levels.
• The Commission amended condition of approval number 3.a) to require the applicant
to remit a noise study by an acoustical engineer within one month (originally 6 months)
from the approval of the CUP identifying the noise levels at the rear property line
adjacent to residential properties. They also added language to the condition that
allows the Development Services Director to impose additional conditions as
necessary to mitigate noise issues.
• The Commission noted that the establishment is in compliance with the ABC License
regulations as approved.
Based on the above, the Commission approved the project by a 5-0 vote.
Request for Review by City Council
On September 19, 2016, a request for City Council review of the project was filed by a
Council Member. It should be noted that the City Council hearing is a de novo hearing
in which the City Council may consider the project in its entirety. On November 15, 2016,
a hearing was conducted by the City Council; however, it was continued to the January 3,
2017 meeting to allow the newly appointed City Council members to consider the request.
New Information Provided by the Applicant Since the November 15, 2016 City
Council Hearing
Attachment 11 of this report contains the following additional information provided by the
applicant:
• Noise study conducted on December 3, 2016;
• Police reports in response to noise complaints received on December 3, 2016 and

For comparison purposes, the City's Noise Ordinance is excerpted below:
Sec. 13-280. EXTERIOR NOISE STANDARDS
(a) The following noise standards, unless otherwise specifically indicated, shall apply to all
residential property within the City:
RESIDENTIAL EXTERIOR NOISE STANDARDS
Noise Level Time Period
55 dB(A) 7:00 a.m.- 11:00 p.m.
50 dB(A) 11:00 p.m.- 7:00 a.m.
In the event the alleged offensive noise consists entirely of impact noise, simple tone noise,
speech, music, or any combination thereof, each of the above noise levels shall be reduced
by 5 dB(A).
(b) It shall be unlawful for any person at any location within the City to create any noise, or to
allow the creation of any noise on property owned, leased, occupied, or otherwise controlled
by such person, when the foregoing causes the noise level, when measured on any other
residential property, either within or outside the City, to exceed:
(1) The noise standard for a cumulative period of more than 30 minutes in any
hour;
(2) The noise standard plus 5 dB(A) for a cumulative period of more than 15
minutes in any hour;
(3) The noise standard plus 10 dB(A) for a cumulative period of more than 5
minutes in any hour;
(4) The noise standard plus 15 dB(A) for a cumulative period of more than one
minute in any hour; or
(5) The noise standard plus 20 dB(A) for any period of time.
The noise levels indicated in the previous table includes the existing ambient noise levels
in the area, i.e., noise levels from cars and trucks in the surrounding streets and parking
lots, and include the low frequency noise (i.e., bass) coming from the recorded music
inside the lounge. The study concluded that the live music generated less low frequency
noise than the recorded music. The study recommends that additional soundproofing
material for the rear doors be installed to reduce the low frequency noise associated with
the recorded music.
The study also noted that noise was monitored from Center Street and that no sound,
including low frequency noise, from the lounge could be heard. A City Code Enforcement
Officer was also present during the time the sound readings were being taken and noted
that no music could be heard coming from the establishment.
Police Reports
The attachment also contains two calls for Police Service for noise complaints from
Holiday. One was received at approximately 11:30 p.m. on December 3, 2016, and the
second at approximately 1:00 a.m. on December 4, 2016. The reports indicate that the
responding officer heard no music coming from the establishment on either occasion.
ABC License
The attachment also contains a letter from the applicant's attorney summarizing the
current status of Holiday's ABC License, noting that, according to ABC, the license is in
good standing and there is no pending enforcement action against the licensee for any
type of violations.
Other Issues
It should also be noted that, in the letter provided by the applicant, that if the request is
approved, they wish to amend the requested hours for live entertainment as follows:
Original requested hours of live entertainment:
11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. (seven days a week)
Revised requested hours of live entertainment:
5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. (Monday through Thursday)
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. (Friday through Sunday)
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The request has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines, and the City environmental procedures, and
has been found to be exempt from CEQA under Section 15301 for Existing Facilities.
If the request is denied, it is exempt from the provisions of CEQA Section 15270(a) for
Projects Which Are Disapproved.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the attached resolutions and approved them as
to form.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
As a de novo hearing, City Council has the following options in this case:
• Alternative A, Uphold the Planninq Commission's Action: Uphold the
Commission's action with the conditions of approval as shown in the draft Council
resolution.
• Alternative B, Reverse the Planning Commission's Action: Deny the Commission's
action. If the project were denied, the applicant could not submit substantially the
same type of application for six months.
NOTE: If the application were to be denied, the applicant could still continue to
operate the establishment with recorded music and dancing under the current Public
Entertainment Permit.
CONCLUSION
De novo literally translates to "anew," "afresh" or "a second time." A de novo hearing
is essentially a new proceeding where the proposal is presented to the City Council for
final consideration. In its decision making, Council is not restricted to the evidence
that was previously presented to the Planning Commission. In this case, the City
Council may uphold, reverse, or modify the discretionary decision of the Planning
Commission.

Subject: Conditional Use Permit PA -16-55
Dear City Council,
Thank you for your careful consideration of our CUP Application. Our request to Council is to uphold the
Planning Commission's decision approving the Conditional Use Permit PA -16-55 allowing live
entertainment and valet parking at the Holiday Lounge located at 719 W. 19th Street, Costa Mesa. This
Letter serves to present and reiterate recent relevant information to our Application.
As reflected in the Staff Report, our project was unanimously approved at the Planning Commission
Hearing on September 12`h, 2016. On September 191h, Council Member Genis requested the item for
Review. The reasons listed for the Review were noise and the Applicant's ABC License. The project
went before Council on November 15`h, 2016 and was continued to January 3`d, 2017.
Since the November 15`' Hearing, an additional noise study was conducted by Gary Hardesty from Sound
Media Fusion (SMF). SMF was selected because the firm was instrumental in resolving the sound issues
with the Pacific Amphitheatre project. On Saturday, December 3`d, 2016, Code Enforcement gave a one-
time approval for live music at the Holiday Lounge to allow SMF to test the specific potential impacts of
live music (Exhibit "A"). The SMF Study concluded that live music is not intrinsically louder than pre-
recorded DJ music. Moreover, live music is less impactful and invasive than DJ music. The SMF Study
also states that "Overall, the Holiday Lounge shows considerable interest in improving the situation, and,
as indicated herein, live music would decrease the noise further." The SMF Study is attached as Exhibit
«B„
Being a good neighbor has been and continues to be a top priority for the Holiday Lounge. In addition to
making approximately $50,000 in improvements to our facilities to mitigate sound, we have extended
invitations to our neighbors for an Open House, our Grand Opening and offered to conduct individual
residential sound studies. We have also been diligently working with Code Enforcement and the Costa
Mesa Police Department to ensure a safe and comfortable venue for our customers, employees and
community. In fact, Code Enforcement and the Costa Mesa Police Department have not reported any
violations while the Holiday Lounge has been operating (Exhibit "C"). We have also joined the Chamber
of Commerce to work with other local businesses to improve the Westside of Costa Mesa (Exhibit "D").
With respect to our ABC License, the Holiday Lounge is in good standing with ABC with no active
disciplinary actions on file. Our active ABC License was renewed and is set to expire on October 3 Pt,
2017 (Exhibit "E"). ABC Attorney Michael Cho of Palmieri Tyler has answered additional questions
previously posed about our ABC License (Exhibit "F").
Based on comments and discussions with the community, the Holiday Lounge will also agree to modify
the proposed hours of operation for live entertainment as part of the conditions of approval. The proposed
hours of operation for live entertainment will be modified from 11:00 am to 2:00 am (seven days a week)
to 5:00 pm to 2:00 am (Monday — Thursday) and 10:00 am to 2:00 am (Friday — Sunday).

License. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact us. Thank you for
your time and consideration.

Holiday Lounge Noise Study
Prepared for:
Holiday Lounge

Costa Mesa, CA 92677
- 1 S4-
Exhibit "B"
On the evening of Saturday, December 3, 2016, at the invitation of Marty Kish, SMF visited the Holiday
Lounge, in order to:
1) Measure and understand the noise the bar creates;
2) Determine approximate levels at the homes in the area;
3) Investigate the possibility of noise mitigation.
When we discuss noise, we typically refer to non -coherent noise (sound of traffic, sound of the ocean) and
coherent noise (music, human speech, and impact and impulse noise).
Measuring noise and analyzing noise is a complex and easily misunderstood science.
Before we discuss the details of our findings, let's make sure we are on the same page and have a mutual
understanding of noise and noise study.
Noise is generally defined as unwanted sound.
What is sound?
Sound is a series of vibrations in air (or water or metal and so on) which causes pressure changes in the ear;
these pressure changes can vibrate the inner workings of the ear very fast (heard as a high tone) or slowly (a low
tone) or somewhere in the middle, and we hear these pressure changes as sound.
So, if sound is just air pressure, why isn't it measured in the same way that the weather men measure air
pressure, in nice easy units like millibars, or atmospheres?
Unfortunately human ears/brains don't respond like barometers.
A barometer can detect a one millibar change easily, no matter whether pressure is low or high. On the other
hand, human ears can detect small changes in pressure only when the level of sound is low; when the level of
sound is high, a very large change in pressure is needed before we notice the change.
This is very different to normal ways of measuring pressure; generally speaking the sound pressure needs to be
doubled before we notice the change, and increased by a factor of 10 before we think it has doubled.
This is why decibels (dB) are used because they respond in a similar fashion to the way the human ear hears the sound.
`0' dB has been designated as the threshold of human hearing. On this basis 140 dB is a very loud explosion and some
deafness is almost certain to be instantaneously caused.
A 3 dB increase/decrease in the level of noise is a doubling/halving of the sound pressure level (or in the energy
contained), but we would only just notice this increase; whereas if we actually perceived a doubling or halving, the noise
level would have changed by 10 dB.
A further complication is that human ears do not respond very well to high tones (frequencies) or low tones (frequencies).
Not surprisingly ears respond best at the same frequencies as human voices- in the middle of the frequency spectrum.
Therefore sound measurements are weighted to respond in the same way; this is known as "A" weighting and the most
commonly used units are hence dBA, which can also be written as dB(A).
dBA readings produce results in which the low frequencies and higher frequencies are greatly attenuated.
1SS_
Exhibit "B"
There are other weightings; the most commonly used are dBC, in which the low and high frequencies are less attenuated,
or, flat readings in which all frequencies are measured with no attenuation in the measurement readings.
A further complication, is that the response time of the meter (how quickly the "needle" is allowed to rise and fall), will
affect what the meter reads for any given noise. Although the more steady the noise, the less important the response time
is.
The sound measuring system can be set to one of several time weightings; 'Peak', 'Impulse', 'Fast', and 'Slow'.
Broadly speaking 'Peak' produces the highest readings then 'Impulse', 'Fast' and 'Slow'. 'Fast' is the most common setting
for readings.
The next problem in trying to represent the vagaries of human hearing in a scientific unit is that virtually all sounds vary
from moment to moment, and how we respond to a noise depends on how it changes.
When dealing with a new or proposed noise LAeq is often used (also written dBA Leq); this term is the Equivalent
Continuous Level.
The formal definition is "when a noise varies over time, the Leq is the equivalent continuous sound which would contain
the same sound energy as the time varying sound".
The `A' in dBA, as explained later on in this report, refers simply to the frequency response weighting used by the meter.
The `Leq' is the time based averaging function.
However, you can think of it as a type of average, where noisy events have a significant influence.
Such measurements are designated, for example, as 46.3 dBA Leq or 46.3 LAeq.
LAeq is the main unit used for assessing Occupational Noise.
Thus, Leq is a decibel averaging system, whose purpose is to average the noise over a pre -determined period of time.
An important feature of LAeq's, is that a large member of quiet events can produce the same period LAeq as a few
(possible one single) very loud event(s); therefore any limit set in terms of LAeq considers the two conditions as being
equivalent.
Environmental noise readings, are therefore complex and easily misunderstood and do not easily take into account
potentially disturbing sounds such as impulse sounds.
In the case of Costa Mesa, the ordinance states (in basic terms) that the daytime noise shall be no more than 55 dBA (Leq)
over several defined periods of time.
When a noise doesn't yet exist, or it is planned to alter an existing noise climate, the ability to calculate the
future (or even existing) noise level can be vital.
Noise calculations are complex and have many traps for the unwary.
There are many factors which affect the level of noise which reaches a disturbing level any given point, but the
most important, over which there is generally some control are:
(P_
Exhibit "B"
Distance
For most sources a doubling of the distance results in a 6 dBA reduction in level; conversely halving the
distance, produces a 6 dBA increase.
For example if you are 5 feet from a noise source, then moving another 5 feet away should make a large
difference to the measured noise level; conversely if you are 500 feet away from the noise source, then a 5 foot
change in distance will make little difference.
The main exceptions to this rule are either when you are proportionally close to a large noise source and the
drop off in noise will be significantly less than 6 dBA per doubling of distance, or for a line source (e.g. road
traffic) where the drop-off is only 3 dBA per doubling of distance.
Low frequency noise has a long wavelength and therefore is much more difficult to control. It is also not
absorbed the same way as mid and high frequency noise, so, it has the `appearance' of not following the
`normal' attenuation over distance.
Barriers
For a barrier to be effective it has to cut the line of sight between the noise source and the reception point, and,
it has to be very close to either the source or receiver.
You should also bear in mind that the noise has got to be "forced over the top", i.e. lightweight barriers, or ones
tD
with holes in, permit noise to pass through the barrier and are unlikely to be effective; for example domestic
fencing simply isn't heavy enough, and has too many gaps and cracks to be an efficient noise barrier; by contrast
specialist acoustic fencing and brick and masonry walls are heavy enough.
Reflecting Surfaces
Hard reflecting surfaces close to either source or reception point can increase noise levels by up to 3 dBA
(each).
Essentially there are two equal noises which add together; they are the noise which travelled directly and the
noise reflected from the hard surface.
Sometimes noise barriers can reflect sound off in unexpected and unwanted directions.
Soft Ground Attenuation
When sound passes close to absorbing ground cover such as grassland, gardens, fields etc., this "soft ground"
absorbs extra sound as it passes.
Examples of "hard ground" where little or no absorption occurs are asphalt or concrete paving.
During our visits to the existing Holiday Lounge and the area of the homes, we measured and recorded the noise
for post -analysis in our laboratory in Van Nuys.
r
Exhibit "B"
At the Holiday Lounge, we quickly noted the following:
1) I asked that the interior level be set to a level somewhat higher than normal, in order to understand how
much noise might escape the bar and to what degree it could be controlled by decreasing levels.
2) The music on our test night was a single performer live artist, followed by a DJ.
3) The lounge had done some work at the back of the building to mitigate the noise. It was noted that some
noise was getting out through the building front (not significant given the surrounding area ambient
noise). And more noise (low frequency) was getting out through two rear doors.
4) The lounge had installed a noise monitoring device in the interior, however, the device is measuring `A -
weighted' and therefore not measuring the low frequency noise, which is the noise component that is
getting out of the bar, to a large extent. I am not sure of the device can perform a `Z', or flat weighted
reading. If it cannot, it needs to be changed to a device that can.
We used a logging type sound level meter, which has the capability to record many different types of readings.
with different weightings, simultaneously, along with recording the actual audio.
This allows deep study of the results.
It is important to note that the measurement system is recording all noise, which includes the bar noise, as well
as ambient traffic and other random noises- the measurement system cannot easily distinguish between types of
noise.
The audio recording is highly useful to aid in determining what type of noise the meter is registering.
Exhibit "B"
The chart below shows various noise measurements over time under the conditions as noted above:
The first report is from the area behind the lounge, at the rear fence (property line separating lounge from rear
of homes), near the Smart and Final fence:

The data and audio were recorded over a 15 minute period and you can see the individual results. recorded
every 5 minutes and the total results at the bottom.
We recorded several types of data:
1) The LAeq (time) data is the averaged data at various time intervals, for indication of basic codes
compliance, using the `A" weighting, which is significantly decreasing any low frequency noise present.
At 15 minutes note that we recorded a summed level of 56.6 dBA. This roughly correlates to the
allowed level of 55 dBA.
The LASmax data is the `A' weighted data recorded as a maximum measured within the respective time
window.
2) The LZSmax data is important as it uses no frequency weighing and is thus indicative of the peak (or
maximum) total energy recorded at a particular time- it includes the low frequency data that the `A' -type
reading is rolling off.
-1861-
Exhibit
It indicates an averaged reading of 81.8 dBZ. This type of measurement is not required for code
compliance, but does indicate a cumulative noise level that is somewhat above readings we might expect
in such a condition.
It should be noted that during the recording of this 15 minutes worth of data, lounge noise -low
frequency- content was heard and measured, as well as a sports car running nearby and playing loud
music, plus all the local ambient noise (Smart and Final trucks unloading, traffic noise, etc.).
Considerable non -bar noise exists in this area.
Once the sports car moved to a location further away, the measured level dropped, leaving the lounge
low frequency noise.
It was determined that the audible lounge low frequency noise heard near the property line at the rear
was emanating from the two rear doors.

Frequency is on the X scale (left to right), and level is on the Y scaled (top to bottom).
The meter was measuring all noise with no weighting (Z scale).
Note that from the frequency bands of 50 Hz to 160 Hz, we see fairly high levels, averaged from 67 dBZ to 59
dBZ. This is indicative of the low frequency noise we could hear.
Starting around the 200 Hz measurement, the levels are dropping, as the frequency is increasing, indicating that
the building is blocking the upper bass and mid/high frequencies fairly well.
We recorded all the way to 20 KHz (the upper range of potential human hearing) and did not display the data
herein as it simply follows the rapidly decreasing level trend seen above.
And, again, this is indicative of all ambient noise during the measurement window.

Note the higher levels due to proximity to the lounge, and note that the noise follows the same generally
decreasing noise at higher frequencies.
This is good news, as it does indicate an appreciable decrease as frequencies get higher- showing that the rear
wall of the lounge is blocking upper frequencies.
We travelled to Center Street to monitor the noise from the front of the houses which are immediately to the
rear of the lounge.
The area was very quiet with no sound whatsoever from the lounge.
Local ambient noise was measured at approximately 53 dBA.

Note the higher levels due to proximity to the lounge, and note that the noise follows the same generally
decreasing noise at higher frequencies.
This is good news, as it does indicate an appreciable decrease as frequencies get higher- showing that the rear
wall of the lounge is blocking upper frequencies.
We travelled to Center Street to monitor the noise from the front of the houses which are immediately to the
rear of the lounge.
The area was very quiet with no sound whatsoever from the lounge.
Local ambient noise was measured at approximately 53 dBA.
Exhibit "B"
Summary:
1) Live music typically has considerable less low frequency energy compared to DJ and EDM
(ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC) music.
Live music is also easier to control, as one has access to the individual elements (bass guitar, bass drum,
etc.), whereas in DJ and EDM (ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC) performances, the `mix' of the music
is based on a recording and the only way to decrease the low end would be through the use of a
frequency equalizer to turn down the low frequency content.
However, doing so would limit the enjoyment, as the low frequency is a large part of the signature sound
for this type of music.
As indicated earlier, the interior level was pushed higher than normal for the sake of helping to
determine max allowable levels as well as the amount of isolation the building is creating. The typical
level of operation would be approximately 3 dBA less than we noted on this night, somewhat decreasing
the amount of sound heard at the rear.
2) The Holiday Lounge building is blocking a large amount of noise above 400 Hz.
3) The two rear doors need to be improved acoustically and doing so will remove a good portion of low
frequency noise heard at the rear of the lounge. SMF has made recommendations which the Holiday
Lounge will follow.
Once the doors are improved, SMF will listen and measure again to verify improvements.
Overall, the Holiday Lounge shows considerable interest in improving the situation, and, as indicated herein,
live music would decrease the noise further.

Chamber of Commerce
December 14, 2016
RE: Holiday
719 W. 191h St.
Costa Mesa, CA 92626
To whom it may concern:
The Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce is fully supportive of the business use
of the classic cocktail Iounge Holiday, a member in good standing.
First some important background information. The Managing Partner of
Holiday, Marty Kish is a local citizen, born and raised in Orange County. Marty
additionally managed sales for Costa Mesa based Vestal International for more than
15 years. He knows and appreciates Costa Mesa.
His business partner, Javier Vasquez, works with Kish in both Holiday and the
near -by neighborhood cocktail bar Casa, as well as serving as CEO for Miguel's jr.
restaurants, including the one in Costa Mesa.
Moving forward, Kish and Vasquez want to continue the operation of Holiday
with the live music that has operated in this venue dating back to the Lion's Den
days in the 1970s and from which they purchased the business in good faith.
Since then, Kish and Vasquez have addressed many neighborhood concerns
by seeking expert consultations, voluntarily adding additional sound -proofing both
internally and externally, improving the look and cleanliness of the property, and
repeatedly instituting sound testing to make certain that any surrounding
community regulations are satisfied.
It is additionally our understanding that the Costa Mesa Police Department
and the staff dealing with Holiday from the City of Costa Mesa, have found that they
are operating within all of the guidelines set-up for this business.
This is a great location, with quality local ownership looking to do the right
thing, situated in a perfect part of town for this business use.
The Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce is proud to support Holiday and will
make ourselves available for any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Eileen Benjamin

Document I.D. 1971009.1
I wanted to get back to you on Council Member Genis' questions on the status ABC
license as well as respond to Mr. Chan's incorrect preemption statements.
1. Status of the Holiday ABC license. The license is in good standing with the ABC. To
my knowledge there is no pending enforcement action against the licensee for any type of
violation, condition or otherwise. To this end I spoke to a Supervising Agent at the ABC
yesterday and she did not indicate there was any ongoing problem, violation or pending
accusation.
2. Separate jurisdictions. The ABC license is governed by the ABC. The California
Constitution Article XX, Section 22 authorizes the regulation of alcohol by the Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control ("ABC") subject to the laws promulgated under the California
Business & Professions Code, Sections 23000 et seq. Contrary to Mr. Chan's assertions that
the City of Costa Mesa is preempted by state law, the truth of the matter is that each jurisdiction,
the City and State are subject to their particular rules and regulations. Here the City is subject to
the noise standards of the Municipal Code and the ABC the Business & Professions Code as well
as conditions imposed on a licensee. Enforcement would be by each jurisdiction. For example
the City would not be the agency to enforce the ABC conditions nor the ABC to inforce the
Municipal Code. I would suggest conferring with the City Attorney on the preemption issue.

Exhibit "F"
3. ABC Conditions. As is public record and constantly reiterated by Mr. Chan, the
licensee is subject to conditions imposed by the ABC. This has never been contested by
Holiday. Enforcement or non -enforcement of the existing conditions is a matter determined by
the ABC and the ABC alone. Again, I can state for the record, that I do not know of any pending
action by the ABC relative to violations of the ABC conditions that rise to the level of filing an
accusation against the licensee.
I hope this helps answer Council Member Genis' questions.
Please let me know if you, staff or Council Member Genis has any further questions
regarding the ABC license.
Very truly yours,
ichael C. Cho

Pange Family Trust, the property owner, requesting approval of a conditional use permit
for the following:
• Conditional Use permit to allow live entertainment including, but not limited to,
music, dancing, and open microphones, for an entertainment venue (Holiday,
formerly Lion's Den and Maison) within 200 feet of residentially -zoned properties,
and on-site valet parking. A current public entertainment permit allows disc
jockey entertainment (DJ) and dancing. Proposed hours of operation are from
7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., seven days a week; proposed hours for live
entertainment are 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., seven days a week.
WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was held by the Planning Commission
on September 12, 2016 with all persons having the opportunity to speak for and against
the proposal, and the project was approved by the Commission on a 5-0 vote.
WHEREAS, on September 19, 2016, the approval of PA -16-55 was called up for
review by a council member.
WHEREAS, on November 15, 2016, a duly noticed public hearing was held by
the City Council, which was continued to January 3, 2017.
BE IT RESOLVED that, based on the evidence in the record and the findings
contained in Exhibit A, the City Council hereby APPROVES PA -16-55.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Costa Mesa City Council does hereby find
and determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon the activity as
described in the staff report for PA -16-55 and upon applicant's compliance with each and
all of the conditions contained in Exhibit S as well as with compliance of all applicable
federal, state, and local laws. Any approval granted by this resolution shall be subject to
21—
review, modification or revocation if there is a material change that occurs in the
operation, or if the applicant fails to comply with any of the conditions of approval.
DE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if any section, division, sentence, clause,
phrase or portion of this resolution, or the documents in the record in support of this
resolution, are for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any
court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining provisions.

BACKGROUND
Project Site/Environs
The subject property is located on the south side of West 19th Street, between Wallace
Avenue and Pomona Avenue. The site is bounded by a commercial use to the east
(Smart and Final Market), a multi -tenant commercial building to the west, and various
commercial uses to the north across West 19th Street. The site abuts residential
properties to the south. The subject site and surrounding commercial properties are
zoned C1 (Local Business District) and has a General Plan Land Use Designation of
General Commercial. The residential properties to the rear are zoned R2 -HD (Multiple
Family Residential -High Density) and has a General Plan Land Use Designation of High
Density Residential.
Site History
Retail Center
The subject property contains two multi -tenant commercial buildings on two separate
parcels originally constructed in the early 1960's. The parcels are under the same
owner and are also tied together via a recorded reciprocal access agreement. Other
uses within the retail center includes restaurants, a laundromat, a medical clinic, and
retail shops.
The site is currently striped with 80 on-site parking spaces at the front of both buildings;
the parking spaces at the rear of the subject building (adjacent to the residential
properties) are not striped. Vehicular access is provided from two driveways on West
19th Street and a single driveway on Wallace Avenue. The rear drive aisle and parking
area of the subject building (abutting the residential properties) has rolling vehicle gates
at both ends of the building; the gate at the easterly end of the building abuts the Smart
& Final property and allows trash and delivery vehicles to access the subject property
through the Smart and Final parking lot when the gate is open or unlocked. The subject
property is separated from the existing residential properties to the south by a 5 -foot
high block wall with 2 feet of wood fencing on top of the block wall, and mature trees on
the residential side of the property (see site photos attached).
Bar/Lounge
According to the City's building permit records, the subject tenant space has been used
as a cocktail bar/lounge since 1963, when it was also used as a restaurant. Prior to its
current name (Holiday), its previous names were Lion's Den and Maison.
Zoning Code Section 13-47 requires eating and drinking establishments with alcoholic
beverage sales, entertainment, and dancing within 200 feet of residentially -zoned
property, and open past 11:00 pm, to have a conditional use permit; however, as the
business was established in the early 1960's, it predates this requirement and is
nonconforming.
7%_
Public Entertainment Permit
Although the establishment does not have a conditional use permit, it is required to
have a Public Entertainment Permit (PEP) in accordance with Costa Mesa Municipal
Code (CMMC) Title 9, Article 11 (Regulatory Permits for Public Entertainment), The
PEP for this establishment has been issued annually by the Code Enforcement Division
since the 1980's. A copy of the current PEP, which expires on October 29, 2016, is
attached to this report for reference.
It should be noted that prior to 2010, the PEP allowed Lion's Den to have live
entertainment; however, when the PEP was renewed in November of that year, the
operator at the time (Beverly Corrigan) discontinued providing live entertainment,
deciding to provide recorded music (DJ) and dancing only. A copy of the November
2010 PEP, with the operator's request to discontinue live entertainment, is also
attached to this report for reference.
State Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License
The establishment is permitted to operate with a State Alcoholic Beverage Control
(ABC) License Type 48 (On -Sale General, Public Premise). According to the license
query system on the State ABC website, a copy of which is attached to this report, the
license is currently active and there are no disciplinary actions related to the license on
file with ABC. The conditional use permit, whether it is approved or denied, will not
affect the existing ABC license.
Building Safety and Fire Prevention Activity
According to City records, the interior layout of the establishment was unchanged under
Beverly Corrigan, the operator of Lion's Den. A copy of the original floor plan layout is
attached to this report. The operator of Maison, Roland Barrera, acquired the lease and
assumed operation of the establishment in October 2014. On March 18, 2015, the
Building Safety Division, based on a resident complaint, conducted an inspection and
issued a Stop Work Notice for construction that was occurring within the tenant space
without building permits. On March 20, 2015, after further inspection by the Building
Safety and Fire Prevention inspectors, the building was determined to be unsafe to
occupy and issued a "Red Tag". As part of the stop work and red tag notices, the
operator was required to do the following:
• Submit plans to the Building Safety Division for plan check and obtain the
necessary Building Safety and Fire Prevention permits;
■ Obtain any required inspections and approvals; and
• Obtain approval of a Conditional Use Permit from the Planning Division for live
entertainment.
Current Status of Building and Fire SafgV Permits and Inspections
Tenant improvement plans were submitted to the Building Safety Division for plan check
on May 7, 2015. The 4,679 square foot space is divided into two areas described below
and indicated in the plans attached to this report:
-57-
® Phase 1 (Holiday Room): A 3,063 square foot space with a raised stage floor, 2
raised seating areas, a main lounge with bar, storage rooms, and restrooms.
■ Phase 2 (Red Room): A 1,616 square foot space with a smaller lounge area with
bar.
Building permits for Phase 1 were issued by the Building Safety Division on July 1, 2015
and finaled by the building inspection staff on September 16, 2015. Building permits for
Phase 2 were issued by the Building Safety Division on August 4, 2016. This phase is
currently under construction. Holiday has also obtained the required permits and
inspections by Fire Prevention, subject to final approval and inspection when the
construction for Phase 2 is completed (estimated to be at the end of September).

Code Enforcement Activit
A code enforcement case was opened on March 18, 2015 against the prior operator,
Roland Barrera, for construction without permits (see Building Safely and Fire
Prevention Activit ). The case was closed when the current operator obtained the
permits required by those departments as described earlier in this report. The
Community Services/Code Enforcement Division received a complaint in late July 2016
regarding noise, but the complainant did not call police and Code Enforcement staff
found no evidence to substantiate the complaint. Code Enforcement staff has not
received any additional noise complaints since July 2016. Since the July 2016
complaint, Code Enforcement staff has visited the site and has not found any concerns
regarding noise emanating from this location.
Police Calls for Service
Between August 1, 2015 and August 23, 2016 there were 215 calls for service at the
specific location according to the Police Department Crime Analysis Unit. Of the 215
calls, 166 were self -imitated by police patrols (subject stop, patrol checks, traffic stops,
and bike stops). The list of calls for service during the above period is attached to this
report, and summarized in the table below.

Based on the top five calls for service types at this location, the first three categories are
generally self -initiated type calls. That means the patrol officer created the event versus
having been dispatched in response to a complaint. Calls to a bar/lounge would typically
be disturbance calls, loud music calls, and drugs and alcohol-related calls occurring
during the establishment's business hours or just after closing.
Note: After the list of calls for service was prepared by the Police Department Crime
Analysis Unit, a noise complaint from an area resident was received by the Police
Department on August 26, 2016, shortly after 1:00 a.m. A patrol officer was dispatched
to the location of the complaining party, who advised the complainant that the issue
was a civil matter between the complainant and the operators of the establishment. A
police report was not filed for this incident.

Conditional Use Permit PA -15-17
On June 8, 2015, the Planning Commission considered Conditional Use Permit PA -15-17
for live entertainment at the establishment. Based on evidence presented at the hearing
that the proposed live entertainment would create adverse impacts to the abutting
residential properties, the Commission denied the request by a 3-2 vote (Chair Dickson
and Vice Chair Mathews voting no).
On June 15, 2015, the decision was called up for review by Council member Monahan,
which was eventually withdrawn.

ANAI PSIS
CUP Request for Live Entertainment Venue (PA -16-55)
Holiday opened to the public on July 15, 2016. As indicated earlier, live entertainment
was discontinued at the establishment in late 2010. Because the current operator is
proposing live entertainment for an establishment open past 11:00 p.m. and within 200
feet of residentially -zoned properties, approval of a conditional use permit is required.
Live entertainment including, but not limited to, music, dancing, and open microphones
is proposed. The proposed hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., 7 days a
week. The applicant indicates that light breakfast and lunch items may be served,
however, the main use (bar/lounge with live entertainment) begins operating after 11:00
a.m. until 2:00 a.m. (see operating hours below).

Based on the City's Shared Parking Analysis, 112 parking spaces are required for the
center based on the current mix of uses; 107 parking spaces are proposed. However,
because all of the uses are existing and no new floor area is being added, the current
number of on-site parking spaces is considered to be legal nonconforming.
The applicant states that patrons park within the parking area on the subject property.
Per the correspondence received from owners of the adjacent Smart & Final Market, a
copy of which is attached to this report, Holiday patrons are not allowed to park in the
Smart and Final parking lot.
The applicant also indicates in their attached description letter that sound proofing
materials were installed in the tenant space to reduce noise impacts to surrounding
properties.
During the July 15, 2016 opening for Holiday, Code Enforcement staff visited the site
and reviewed the measures in place to minimize any noise emanating from the
establishment. This included security staff stationed at the rear door, preventing any
patrons from exiting the rear door (closest to the residential properties). While standing
on the exterior south/east side of the property, the Code Enforcement Officer could not
hear the music being played inside. Security staff was observed patrolling the rear of
the property to prevent any congregation of individuals closest to the residences.
Existing Bars/Restaurants with Live Entertainment Within 200 -Feet of Residential
Area
Planning Commission has made past decisions to allow establishments with live
entertainment and dancing (most recently, for the relocation of Sutra Lounge at the
Triangle), subject to operating conditions of approval to minimize impacts to surrounding
properties and uses. In this case, the use involves the re -introduction of live
entertainment for an establishment that is within 200 feet of residentially -zoned properties
and is open past 11:00 p.m. Following are other restaurants and bars that remain open

Public Entertainment Permits that Include Live Entertainment
When Public Entertainment Permits were first issued in the 1980's, the purpose was to
regulate live entertainment, DJs, and dancing in existing establishments. Code
currently requires a CUP for these types of activities in proximity to residential uses.
The following list provides some examples of existing businesses with PEPs for live
entertainment.

It should also be noted that, if the request for live entertainment were to be denied, the
applicant could still operate the establishment with recorded music (via DJ) and dancing
under the current City approvals.
Valet Parking
A valet parking plan is proposed in the event it becomes necessary to prevent overflow
patron parking onto adjacent properties and streets. The valet parking plan will be
subject to the following:
• The valet parking plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Transportation
Services Division prior to implementation.
8 The valet station(s) shall be located on private property in areas that do not
interfere with parking for other properties, drive aisles, public alleys, or public
streets.
Valet parking shall occur on-site only. No valet parking may occur on any other
property or in any public alley or public street.
Valet parking shall specify the hours it will take place.
To minimize impacts to adjacent residential properties, drop-off and pick-up of
customer cars shall not occur within the parking area at the rear of the property.
■ Parking spaces not reserved for valet parking shall remain open and
unobstructed for customer self -parking.

FINDINGS TO APPROVE THE REQUEST
Pursuant to Title 13, Section 13-29(g)(2), Findings (Conditional Use Permit and Minor
Conditional Use Permit), of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is
required to find that the evidence presented in the administrative record substantially
meets specified findings.
Findings for Approval
• The proposed use is substantially compatible with the multi -family residential
development along Center Street (R2 -HD zone) and would not be materially
detrimental to other properties within the area. The proposed use, with the
recommended conditions of approval, will be consistent with the other uses in
the immediate vicinity. Compliance with the conditions of approval will allow this
use to operate with minimal impact on surrounding properties and uses.
If approved, the applicant shall be required to comply with the following
conditions of approval, the complete list of which are included in the draft
approval resolution:
Music & Live Entertainment
o Any music or live entertainment, including a DJ and/or dancing, may only be
permitted subject to City issuance of a "Public Entertainment Permit" on an
annual basis. Within 15 days of the approval of the CUP, the applicant shall
submit an application for the Public Entertainment Permit to the Community
Improvement/Code Enforcement Division. The initial approval of this permit
will be temporary for a probationary period of six months and may only
become a permanent yearly renewal when the following conditions are met:
Within six months of the approval of the CUP, applicant shall remit a
noise study by an acoustical engineer which identifies the noise levels at
the rear property line abutting the residential properties. Noise
monitoring shall occur for a four-hour period from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00
a.m. for a minimum of 4 different types of events (live bands, DJ, open
microphone, and dancing). Study shall provide conclusions as to
whether or not the operations of the bar/lounge comply with the City's
Noise Ordinance with regard to the adjacent residences. Study shall
make recommendations that shall be implemented by the applicant to
reduce noise levels (as applicable) to ensure compliance with the Noise
Ordinance.
o If staff determines that a violation of the noise ordinance has occurred, the
Public Entertainment Permit may be placed into suspension and all
entertainment approved under this conditional use permit must cease. Staff
will work with the applicant to mitigate the violation and may make
recommendations. This includes, but is not limited to, the lifting of the
suspension, a change of status in the Public Entertainment Permit from a
permanent to probationary status, and/or a recommendation for
change/revocation to the conditional use permit.
o The operation of the business shall comply with the City's Noise Ordinance
with specific regard to acceptable outdoor noise levels in residential areas.
o The rear doors shall remain closed during any performance of live
entertainment, pre-recorded music (DJ), and dancing.
Parking Management
o Parking for patrons and employees of the business shall occur on-site. Patron
parking shall be restricted to the front parking area only; employee parking
shall be restricted to the rear parking area only.
o The parking lot shall be posted with signs directing customers and employees to
use consideration when entering their cars and leaving the parking lot.
o The valet parking provisions as discussed earlier in this report would be
required to be complied with.
Crowd Con ti-ollOn -Site Secuu-ity
o An adequate number of security personnel, as determined by the Police
Department Crime Prevention Bureau and/or the Development Services Director,
shall be provided to ensure that all parking lots are monitored during the days and
hours the business is in operation.
Lrclhtin
g
o Operator shall secure the premises with appropriate security lighting and
employee scrutiny of adjacent areas under which applicant has control, to
prevent trash, graffiti and littering.
o The intensity and location of lights shall be limited to minimize nighttime light
and glare to residents and shall be subject to the Development Services
Director's approval.
o All site lighting fixtures shall be provided with a flat glass lens. Photometric
calculations shall be submitted and shall indicate the effect of the flat glass
lens fixture efficiency.
o Lighting design and layout shall limit light spillage to no more than 0.5 foot-
candles at the property line of residential properties, consistent with the level
of lighting that is determined necessary for safety and security purposes on
site. Light standards near residential properties shall be shielded in such a way
as to minimize light spillage onto surrounding properties.
Granting_ the conditional use permit will not be materially detrimental to the
health. safety, and general welfare of the public or otherwise injurious to propel
or improvements within the immediate neighborhood. The use is an existing
commercial development consistent with the C1 zoning of the property and
residentially -zoned properties in the vicinity. Compliance with the applicable
Building and Fire Safety Codes will ensure that the use is not materially
detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the public or otherwise
injurious to property or improvements within the immediate neighborhood.
--457—
Granting the conditional use permit will not allow a use, density, or intensity
which is not in accordance with the General Plan designation and any applicable
specific plan for the propert . The property is zoned C1 (Local Business District)
and has a General Plan Designation of General Commercial. The use, as
conditioned, is consistent with the applicable provisions of the General
Commercial General Plan Designation. The use, as conditioned, is consistent
with the following policy of the 2015-2035 General Plan:
o Policy LU -3.1: Protect existing stabilized residential neighborhoods, including
mobile home parks (and manufactured housing parks), from the encroachment
of incompatible or potentially disruptive land uses and/or activities.
The property owner is working with the Cit 's Code Enforcement Division to
address several property maintenance issues at the site. Because the applicant
and the operator of Holiday are not the owners of the , property, property
maintenance issues (parking lot striping, landscape maintenance, etc.) are being
addressed separately by the property owner through Code Enforcement.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
If the Planning Commission approves the request, it is exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15301 for Existing
Facilities. The project site contains an existing building with no increase in total floor
area for the use proposed. If the Planning Commission denies the project, the denial is
exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section
15270(a) for projects which are disapproved.
LEGAL REVIEW
The draft resolutions have been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney's
Office.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Pursuant to Title 13, Section 13-29(d), of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code, three types
of public notification have been completed no less than 10 days prior to the date of the
public hearing:

ALTERNATIVES
» Approve the request with modifications. The Planning Commission may suggest
specific changes that are necessary to alleviate concerns. If any of the additional
requested changes are substantial, the item should be continued to a future
meeting to allow a redesign or additional analysis. In the event of significant
modifications to the proposal, should the Planning Commission choose to do so,
staff will return with a revised resolution incorporating new findings and/or
conditions.
• Deny the request. If the Planning Commission believes that there are insufficient
facts to support the findings for approval, Planning Commission must deny the
application and provide facts in support of denial to be included in the attached
draft resolution for denial. If the project were denied, the applicant could not
submit substantially the same type of application for six months.
NOTE: If the application were to be denied, the applicant could still continue to operate
the establishment with recorded music and dancing under the current Public
Entertainment Permit.
CONCLUSION
Consideration of this request for live entertainment and valet parking would largely be
based on code compliance and compatibility with the abutting residential area. The
recommended conditions of approval in the CUP would adequately address impacts to
residential uses.

Request to renew expired permit (PEP09-010, expired December 2 2010)
Add Valet Parking
Thank you for the opportunity to receive permission to once again have live entertainment at the 719 W
19th street location. A brief description of the proposal along with findings and justification of approvals
are outlined below for your review.
History of Live Entertainment at this Location
719 West 19th Street has had a long history of being a live entertainment venue in Costa Mesa. The space
has been a cocktail lounge since 1963, first established as the Colorado Mining Company, providing live
music and dining. Then, the site became the rock and roll venue Ronstadt's, owned by celebrity musician
Linda Ronstadt. From 1980 through late 2014, 719 West 19th Street operated as the Lion's Den and offered
live entertainment and dancing under owner Beverly Corrigan. The Applicant wishes to continue a long
tradition of live entertainment, and is expecting to appeal to a broad audience through inspiring productions.
The revitalization of high quality live entertainment is expected to enhance and revitalize the west side
through responsible management and maintenance of the space and the shopping center.
Existing Conditions & Policy information
Holiday is a lounge within a multi -tenant retail center. The entire site is zoned C1 (Local Business District)
and has a General Plan Use Designation of General Commercial. The location also falls within the Westside
Urban Specific Plan area, specifically the 19 West Urban Plan area.
The site is bound by commercial uses to the east (Smart and Final Market), the west (multi -tenant
commercial building), and the north (various commercial uses). Moreover, the site abuts residential use to
the south. The residential properties are zoned R2 -HD (Multiple Family Residential -High Density) and has
a General Plan Use Designation of High Density Residential.

Physical Site Information
Holiday occupies a 4,476 sq ft space within a retail center and has two areas, that can be divided by a
folding wall:
Holiday - a 3,063 sq ft space with a raised stage floor, 2 raised seating areas, main lounge, and
kitchen
® Red Room - a 1,616 sq ft space with a smaller lounge area separate from the main lounge for
quieter activities.
The retail center provides 107 shared parking spaces. Based on the City's Shared Parking Analysis, see
attached, 112 parking spaces are required for the center based on the current mix of uses. The current
number of on-site parking spaces are considered to be legal non -conforming because all the uses are
existing and no new floor area is being added.
Operational Information
Holiday currently operates as a lounge with a public entertainment permit allowing for a DJ and dancing.
The hours of operation are 7:00 am to 2:00 am, 7 days a week with live entertainment hours from 11:00
am to 2:00 am. Light breakfast and lunch items are expected to be available as well as snacks throughout
the day.
Valet parking is proposed for those times that it is deemed necessary. The proposed plan is attached.
Security and Lighting
Holiday provides site security both within the tenant space and parking areas. Management is working
closely with City Police Crime Prevention to ensure a safe and peaceful environment. Additional lighting
has been installed. The security team has no tolerance for loitering and fully enforces the City's noise
ordinance. All servers have received responsible beverage serving training.
Noise
In July of 2015, Holiday management contracted with acoustical engineers Landrum & Brown. Landrum
& Brown are the same engineers that assisted the Pacific Amphitheater with noise mitigation measures.
Mike Holritz has provided a preliminary inspection of the site and measured the noise levels at various
locations, including measurements from the nearest residents. He made several suggestions for noise
mitigation including:
Boxing in the Exhaust fans - Holiday has worked with an architect and contractor and has
received permits and installed enclosures for the fans.
Improve doors and seals - Door and seals have been upgrading and instated a policy that the
door is to remain closed during music or other noise generating events.
Upgrade South Wall - Holiday has installed insulation and upgraded the south wall. Final
inspections are pending.
Install Parapet Wall at South edge of building - The parapet structure has been installed, final
inspections are underway,
needed.
Installation of sound level warning devise - This has not yet been done but will be reviewed as

Justifications for Approval
1. The proposed use is substantially compatible with developments in the same general area
and would not be materially detrimental to other properties within the area.
a. The site, 719 West 19th Street, is compatible with developments in the same general area
as it has been operating under the use of live music and entertainment for nearly four
decades. The location's history began in the 1970s as Colorado Mining Company,
providing live music and dining. Then, the site became the rock and roll venue Ronstadt's,
owned by celebrity musician Linda Ronstadt. From 1980 to late 2014, 719 West 19th Street
operated as the Lion's Den and offered live entertainment and dancing under owner
Beverly Corrigan. The Applicant is dedicated to providing the live entertainment the site
has been historically known for, as well as working with the property owner to revitalize the
premises to enhance the surrounding area.
b. The site is compatible with developments in the same general area as it adjacent to two
venues, the Wayfarer and Casa Costa Mesa, that also provide live entertainment. The
Holiday Lounge will add to Costa Mesa's burgeoning arts scene and bringing increased
interest to the west side.
-5Z-
c. The proposed use will not be materially determinately to other properties in the immediate
vicinity by mitigating noise, security, parking and lighting issues as detailed in Item 2.

environment.
b. Additionally, the proposed use will not affect the adjacent residential general plan use
designation as the Applicant has taken all measures per item 2 to protect nearby residential
neighborhoods. The Applicant has shown to be in conformance with the General Plan
Designation of General Commercial Objective LU -1F1: Protect existing stabilized
residential neighborhoods from the encroachment of incompatible or potentially disruptive
land uses and/or activities.
Conclusion
The Applicant's proposal to add live entertainment to the existing cocktail lounge/club at 719 West 19th
Street has provided for the following justifications:
1. The proposed use is substantially compatible with developments in the same general area and
would not be materially detrimental to other properties within the area:
2. Granting the conditional use permit will not be materially detrimental to the health, safety and
general welfare of the public or otherwise injurious to property or improvements within the
immediate neighborhood.
3. Granting the conditional use permit will not allow a use, density or intensity which is not in
accordance with the general plan designation and any applicable specific plan for the property.
In providing these justifications, the Applicant has demonstrated action and consideration regarding the
compatibility and impacts towards the abutting residential area and requests the approval of the conditional
use permit to re -instate the live entertainment.

Additional measures as submitted by the applicant:
■ Security Plan –We will be hiring a professional .Security Company which will provide an adequate
number of security officers to provide security for the interior and exterior of the premises. The
officers will monitor the property ,vhile we are open to ensure that we have a safe and
comfortable environment for our customers and employees. They will also make sure that
customers and employees are kept away from the residential area immediately behind the
premises so that we can eliminate any noise which might disturb our neighbors. We will also make
arrangements with our Security Staff to escort all employees to their cars after we close at night.
I will be scheduling a meeting with the Costa Mesa Police Department and our Security Team to
ensure that a coordinated plan will be implemented.
Parking –Our Security Team will also monitor the parking areas around the premises to snake sure
that our patrons and employees are parking in designated areas. Our goal is to have alk customer
parking contained within the shopping center. The Security Team will also make sure the
customers do not park in the Smart & Final parking lot which is located to the east of the property.
We have noticed that more than fifty percent (50%) of our customers at CASA are now using Uber
and taxis to visit our nightclub. We anticipate the same percentage will be using Uber and taxis to
visit Masson/Harper's so an overflow parking situation is very unlikely.
■ Lighting – We recently installed new flood lights on the front of the premises which has increased
the light levels. It is our understanding that low light levels were a concern of the Building
Department and we have addressed it.

the proposal.
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
under Section 15301 for Existing Facilities.
WHEREAS, the CEQA categorical exemption for this project reflects the
independent judgment of the City of Costa Mesa.

A. The proposed project complies with Title 13, Section 13-29(g)(2), conditional use
permit and minor conditional use permit, of the Municipal Code due to the
following:
The proposed use is substantially compatible with developments in the
same general area and would not be materially detrimental to other
Properties within the area. The proposed use, with the recommended
conditions of approval, will be consistent with the other uses in the
immediate vicinity. Compliance with the conditions of approval will allow
this use to operate with minimal impact on surrounding properties and
uses.
Granting the conditional use permit and minor conditional use permit will
not be materially detrimental to the health safety, and general welfare of
the public or otherwise injurious to property or improvements within the
immediate neighborhood. The use is an existing commercial project
consistent with the C1 zoning of the property and residentially -zoned
properties in the vicinity. Compliance with the applicable Building and Fire

Facts in Support of Denial ATTACHMENT 8
A) The staff report itself is evidence
1) the applicant stood by, and even acted in concert to circumvent California
state conditions already imposed upon the audible component of entertainment
provided - which is ZERO decibels
2) the applicant withheld material information concerning the State's conditioning
of the audible component of entertainment provided- by withholding and not
volunteering the document that describes the operating conditions imposed by
the State date 9/11/2014, known as the Petition for Conditional License. This
document is not only wholly missing from the package, but also missing is any
discussion of the ZERO tolerance Rule beyond obey the law boilerplate located
on handwritten page 40, in paragraphs numbered 23, and number 5 -.
B) 1) The Findings from the June 2015 still apply. The location's history of noise
complaints is located in the June 2015 Findings( denial) for substantively the
same request before you tonight, and there has been no material change that
can be discerned to justify the requested approval, which is merely a reversal of
last years denial of the same request,
2) The locations history further shows a history of operators unable or unwilling to
comply with the state 61.4 conditioning of entertainment, however such "breaking
the law" behavior by operators is not an entitlement.
C) The current operation of the licensed location breaches the liquor license
conditions under Section 61.4 and stated by condition 2 on the face of the
license.
D) A willful misrepresentation of material existing state conditioning of the licensed
location to city staff has resulted in a prejudicial recommendation to this
planning commission in support of illegally supplanting state law; it abrogates
the civil rights of the adjacent residents, and has resulted in a waste of public
resources in the form of staff and the publics time,
E) That in general the applicants own conduct indicate it has no intentions of, and
thus far has not operated, in compliance with the ABC Conditioning of audible
components of entertainment provided at this location, that as a matter of law
control.
F) The applicant has not demonstrated it is capable of a compliance with the state
conditions regarding noise from entertainment and is interfering with quiet
enjoyment of the property by nearby residents.
G) The applicant is operating willfully in violation of the state imposed conditions
which is per se contrary to public welfare and morals.

EXHIBIT A
FINDINGS (DENIAL)
A. The information presented does not comply with Costa Mesa Municipal Code
Section 13-29(g)(2) in that:
Finding: The proposed use is not compatible with developments in the same
general area and would be materially detrimental to other properties within the area.
Facts in Support of Findings: The applicant's request for live entertainment and
the legalization of the storage container cannot be supported based on the
following:
• The additional scheduling of live bands at Maison Bar is considered a
significant intensification of a nonconforming bar/lounge in close proximity (90
feet) to a residential area. The live entertainment would not be compatible with
the multi -family residential neighbors.
• The proposed live bands will result in an increased probability of noise
disruptions to the abutting residential neighbors in addition to historic
complaints related to the pre-recorded DJ music at the establishment.
• The proposed operation and conditions of approval would not ensure the quiet
enjoyment of the neighborhood, i.e., the R2 -HD zoned properties along Center
Street, due to the operator's past history of not com I in _ with rules and
regulations. Previous building code and fire code violations documentedat t e
site," including construction work without the proper building permits, were
considered as evidence against the proposal.
• The parking lot is considered legal nonconforming in terms of parking supply.
There is deficient on-site parking (112 parking spaces required; 107 parking
spaces proposed) to support the legalization of the storage container in the
parking lot.
Finding: Granting the minor conditional use permit will be materially detrimental to
the health, safety, and general welfare of the public or otherwise injurious to property
or improvements within the immediate neighborhood.
Facts in Support of Findings: The use is not consistent with residentially -
zoned properties in the vicinity. The use is materially detrimental to the health,
safety and general welfare of the public or otherwise injurious to property or
improvements within the immediate neighborhood due to noise impacts from
patrons, parking impacts on surrounding properties and residential streets, and
litter, smoking, loitering, and crime impacts from patrons.
Finding: Granting the minor conditional use permit will allow a use, density, or
intensity which is not in accordance with the General plan designation.
Facts in Support of Findings: The property is zoned C1 (Local Business
District) and has a General Plan Designation of General Commercial. The
project is not consistent with the applicable provisions of the General

From:
Mike Holritz, INCE
Received
City of Costa Mesa
Development Services Department
SEP 12 2016
Subject: Building Modifications at Holiday (Project #678001-0100)
This memo presents the findings of our site visit at the Holiday Lounge in
Costa Mesa, California.
A previous report (Project #5608001, July 23, 2015) provided
recommendations to improve the building noise reduction. These
recommendations were intended to help allow the project to provide the
desired music level inside, while meeting the City's Noise Ordinance level
limits at the adjacent residential areas. The site was visited on September
9, 2016, and it was determined that these modification recommendations
have been satisfactorily addressed. In the following sections, the
recommended modifications are summarized, and the resulting actions
taken are described.
Boxing in the exhaust fans — In order to reduce sound transmission
through the roof, it was recommended that the exhaust fans above the
dance floor area be boxed in. Instead, the fans in the dance floor ceiling
were removed and these openings were sealed. The ceiling openings were
covered with wood, and tar and roofing material were installed above. This
is an adequate solution to reduce sound transmission through the roof.
Improving doors and seals — It was recommended that the two entry
doors on the south side of the building be replaced with better doors, and
that the seals and thresholds be improved. This has been done for one
door, and the other door replacement was in progress at the time of the site
visit. The new doors are solid -core wood doors. The threshold and seal for
the door that has been replaced are satisfactory. These doors will need to
remain closed during music operations in order to be effective. It is our
understanding that the doors will be closed, and security guards will man
the doors during operation. These measures are adequate to meet our
recommendations.

Project #578001-0100
Upgrading the south wall — It was recommended that the south wall be
improved to the extent possible. The wall has been furred -out, and a layer
of heavy wood (approximately 3/4" -thick) has been added to the interior.
Fiberglass batt insulation was included in the furred area. Additionally, the
exterior wall of the walk-in refrigerator area, which comprises a portion of
the south wall, was also improved using insulation and new wood panels.
These improvements are adequate to substantially improve the performance
of the south wall assembly.
Installation of a parapet wall — It was recommended that a parapet wall
be constructed atop the roof along the south edge of the building. This has
been done. The wall is constructed of a double row of wood studs with
heavy wood panels on each face and insulation in the stud cavities. The wall
height is adequate to break line -of -sight to the nearby residences, and
extends far enough east and west to prevent excessive flanking noise
laterally around the barrier. This wall, in conjunction with the exhaust vent
removal, is adequate to significantly reduce noise emanating from the roof
assembly at the adjacent residences.
Installation of a sound level warning device or limiter — It was
recommended that a sound level warning device be obtained to give a visual
warning when a certain noise level is reached within the facility. The facility
has obtained and installed a Sound Ear device for this purpose. An interior
sound level threshold will be determined that results in compliance with the
exterior Noise Ordinance criteria at the adjacent residential area, and the
device will be set to alert the audio personnel when this interior level is
approached or exceeded. This device is intended to help ensure that the
City's Noise Ordinance limits are not exceeded.
Now that the recommended mitigation measures have been implemented,
sound level measurements should be performed in order to confirm that the
project is in compliance with the City's Noise Ordinance. It is recommended
that a series of unannounced noise measurements be performed to
demonstrate compliance of the project with the Noise Ordinance. City
personnel can be present during these measurements if desired.

Project #578001-0100
It should be noted that live music is not intrinsically louder than recorded
music. Sound levels from live music at this project would be expected to be
very similar to the levels generated by a DJ or recorded music. The sound
level for either type of music is dependent upon the volume settings of the
equipment. The Sound Ear device will be used to help ensure that the
sound levels do not exceed an acceptable level during live music
performance.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Dear Mr. Lee,
I wanted to write to voice my support of Holiday and reinstating Live Entertainment Permit. As a
Newport Beach resident, I've been eagerly awaiting for a new place to meet with neighbors, friends,
enjoy a drink and listen to Live Entertainment. I strongly believe that Holiday will only add to the
quality of life and entertainment to our community, as well as add to and compliment our growing

Thank you for considering my comments. I am happy to support Holiday.

Subject: Holiday Live music
Hello Mr. Lee,
My name is Jeff Marquis and I am a resident in Costa Mesa. I am in full support of issuing a live music permit to Holiday
on 19th street.
I believe live music is a great draw for business and the city. The management team and proprietors of holiday are a very
responsible group of people and will only enhance the area in West Costa Mesa.
Thank you!

As a Costa Mesa resident for over 12 years and an owner of the Ralphs building at 17th and Tustin, we would
be in full support of Holiday obtaining a CUP for live entertainment.
Often retail streets and corridors go through change and this is a welcome change that we think could help the
surrounding food and retail.

To The Honorable Members of the Planning Commission,
I attended the June 8 2015 hearing for the subject at hand, proposed live entertainment at the 719 W. 19 th Street
location, which was denied because of the adverse impacts to the abutting residential properties. I am a long time resident
of Costa Mesa, and have lived in my home on Center Street for over 35 years.The decision by the Council continues to
hold true, and allowing this CUP for live entertainment WILL negatively impact the health and welfare of myself, my family,
my neighbors and community. I will be teaching at the hospital tonight and very regretfully am not able to attend tonight's
meeting.
Please keep us safe and deny the request
Sincerely,

Good Morning Mervin,
My name is Scott Madison. I am a home owner in Westside Costa Mesa. I wanted to let you you know that as a resident in
westside Costa Mesa there are not very many good options for live music. After I visited Holiday during the soft opening I
thought that we could use a place like Holiday to go to see live music in a setting that could be relaxing and enjoyable. The
westside needs the kind of revitalization that Holiday would add. I don't like to have to go far to enjoy live entertainment. I
know that Holiday will do a good job at bringing us what we are looking for. Please consider Holiday for a live Entertainment
permit.
Best Regards,
Scott Madison

Hello Melvin
It is a pleasure to meet you via email. My name is Dylan Radloff, I am a longtime home owner
in East Costa Mesa. I hope this email finds you well, I would like to address the upcoming city
council meeting concerning the live music permit for the Holiday Bar on 19th street.
I am sending you my full endorsement to allow the music permit to go through and bring live
music into our area. Costa Mesa has been on the forefront of culture and art within Orange
County. The reason I bought my home in Costa Mesa was to be surrounded by the vibrancy of
the culinary, art and music scenes and cultural civic engagements. I feel Holiday is a great
venue for the community to gather, and it will facilitate an excellent flow of life into our
community. Making this an even more desirable area to move fostering even higher property
values.
This particular parcel of land has always been a live music venue. I honestly cannot understand
why this subject matter is under debate, or why it would be on the city councils meeting
agenda. Hopefully you and the council will have the majority of Costa Mesa's residents best
interest in mind and allow this music permit to go through.
If you need any other information from me, please contact me at any time. I'm looking
forward to hearing positive results and that the Costa Mesa council did the right thing.
Best Regards,
Dylan

Subject: Holiday CUP Hearing
Dear Mr. Lee,
I am writing you today to express my support for the reinstatement of the live entertainment permit being requested by the
owners of the venue called "Holiday".
If you've ever noticed how quickly a concert venue turns on recorded music between bands, or experienced that strange
silence when the music stops playing in a restaurant or bar, you understand how important music can be to a business. Like
the quality of the food, drinks and atmosphere, music contributes to the success of the bars, restaurants and venues that we
all frequent. The principals are business owners who have a very strong track record of success in the hospitality / food and
beverage industry, and I support their right to have live music/entertainment as an integral part of the venue's overall
experience.
Thank you for your consideration.

There are far too few places in Costa Mesa where one can enjoy live entertainment and not only is Holiday an
excellent location for such, but it will have little if any negative impact acoustically for surrounding residents.
Additionally, live music increases the popularity of an establishment, increasing merchant revenue and

Subject: Sound rating study
Hi Marty,
Our house received mail from you today regarding a sound rating study for your bar Holiday. We are located just
behind your business, and the music you play often emanates from your property, permeates through ours, and
sometimes even across Center street. Likewise, I am very pleased to read that you are taking measures to
reduce the impact of your operations on your neighbors—thank you! However, the liquor license for Holiday
stipulates that noise from your establishment should not be audible outside its premises, so it would be sufficient
for you to simply conduct your sound rating study around the perimeter of your own property. We appreciate your
letter's gesture of goodwill, and sincerely hope you will continue to update you facility—or simply reduce the gain
of your amplifiers—in order eliminate your noise pollution and comply with your liquor license (as well as various
pieces of state and city legislation), but we are not interested in participating in your sound rating study.
Thank you for striving to be good neighbors!
Best,
Logan
Dear Neighbor,
We, your neighbors at Holiday (719 W 19th St), would like to invite you to participate in
a sound rating study. This study involves a house visit from us in which we will use a
sound decibel reader to test if the sound levels from our establishment reach within your
home.
Holiday has been operating for two months now with amplified music. This study is one
of the many efforts Holiday is taking to determine how our noise levels affect our
surrounding neighborhood and how to be better neighbors to you. In addition to this
study, Holiday has already taken several measures to reduce impacts to our
neighborhood, including:
1. Contracting the acoustical engineers who assisted sound mitigation measures for
the Pacific Amphitheater, Landrum & Brown;
2. Installing enclosures for exhaust fans;
3. Upgrading doors and seals for sound proofing;
4. Upgrading and installing insulation to Holiday's south wall;
6, Installing parapet walls to the south edge of Holiday;
. And installing a sound level warning device.
To participate in this study, please call Darty Kish at (949) 400-6914 to make an
appointment.
For more information regarding our sound mitigation measures or Holiday, please feel
free to contact Marty Kish by phone at (949) 400-6914 or by email at
ccathagoidenstate gmaii.cern.

as we love to see live music acts featuring great artists and not just electronic music. I believe this is
a great addition to our community.

Subject: Live Music, The Arts, & Costa Mesa... The City Of Arts
Hello Mel,
My name is Zac Smith and I am the Founder and Executive director of The Collective Sound a music org for
teens based out of Costa Mesa. Our focus is on programs where students write, record and perform original
music. You can learn more about our programs on our site at: https://thecollectivesound.com/ .
I am writing to express my support for Holiday's Live Music Permit. I attended the City Council meeting where
it was last discussed and it seems peculiar that it was being objected to in a venue that had previously had the
permit for so many years. The presented objections based on parking or noise louder than the already permitted
"DJ" sets have no real merit. Talking to any small live music venue one would learn that the "parking issue" is
not on par with that of a club or DJ venue focused on the typical bar scene. It is no secret that live original
music shows are harder to sell than a night dancing. The same decibal controls and sound proofing applied to
DJ sets is applicable to Live music. Their are many third party acoustic consultants who could ensure such
measures are in place. It would also be safe to argue that Holiday putting on live music and promoting art in the
venue would be a massive improvement to the previous Lions Den. Further, live music venues are a scarcity in
our area and banned completely just down the road in Newport. With the shear number of musicians and bands
who call Costa Mesa home it is oppressive to take away such a great opportunity from our community of local
artists.
To add insult to injury Costa Mesa is supposed to support the arts. Here is an excerpt taken directly from the
city website: "Costa Mesa's official motto is "City of the Arts," a title befitting of its world-class cultural
scene... with a wide array of art galleries and a cutting-edge music scene.
... residents access the arts in many different venues, and through multiple sources. "
I will end with one last more personal example. Every year when we finish our programs we look for a venue
for our students to perform. We invite the community, families and friends to attend the final showcase. We
generally partner with other local teen orgs like the Boys and Girls Club or Big Brother Big Sisters to come out
and share the event. Go ahead and scan Costa Mesa and show me a live music stage that fits such an event...
With Boathouse not interested in interrupting their dinner time we have only ever successfully played the
parking lot at The Lab... the parking lot with some cones... that is the message we send to our aspiring creative
youth. We have resorted to renting a sound stage in Fountain Valley so we can at least have a few lights and
decent sound for the kids and this is sad.
We need Holiday in Costa Mesa and we need it to be a live music venue. They have shown support for our
programs here in Costa Mesa in a sea of of people willing to turn their back on youth arts in our community.
Not only is it a great opportunity for a performance venue for our programs but provides an opportunity for us
to host local scholarship fundraiser shows for local students. We could go on but for now we will end with,
please don't contribute to the oppression of arts and arts education in our society. Especially not in a city that
has"City of the Arts" as it's motto.

be well

Subject: Response to Sept 12, 2016 Hearing
In reference to:
PA -16-55
719 W. 19th Street
Conditional Use Permit to allow Live Music
I have been a 28 year resident at 735 Center Street, Costa Mesa (located on the street behind the proposed permit for
live entertainment) and am unable to attend the public hearing. So I wanted to respond in writing.
We have seen several positive changes over the years in our neighborhood (sidewalks, streetlight, fire hydrants, etc.)...
but there is plenty plenty more that needs to be done here on in the 600/700/800 block around 19th street/Placentia
avenue/18th street. The problem as a resident behind the proposed permit for music is the added element that it brings
as well as the noise. We are already stretched with two sober living houses on Center Street alone (Parking is a huge
issue) and there are plenty of homeless than roam here... to then have a live entertainment that goes way into the night
can bring added issues that we just don't need right now. Many residents surrounding the venue work hours that
require early morning rising, including me. If there is too much noise, then this can disrupt sleep, which can cause
issues. When the Lion's Den was in full swing, the noise of the venue traveled down the side of our house like a tunnel
and you could hear the bass "thump, thump, thump" well into the night. This caused many sleepless/restless nights. It
has been a blessing to not have any venue in there for several years now. I would assume that The City of Costa Mesa
could do better related to what could be done with the 700 block of 19th street, then adding something that would bring
additional issue that The City and its resources (police/fire) would have to be called to.

Subject: Maison West 19th Street LLC dba "Holiday" (clarification of ABC conditions and website)
Good morning,
Based on our call this morning I wanted to send this so you better understand ABC conditions and ABC website.
ABC Petition for Conditional License (ABC conditions):
The Petition for Conditional license contains the operational conditions that the ABC has imposed on the licensee.
Condition No. 1 prohibits live entertainment on the rear patio only. This entertainment prohibition does not apply to any other
areas of the licensee. As such you are permitted to provide live entertainment in other areas such as inside subject to
Condition No. 2.
Condition No. 2 provides that any entertainment, live or otherwise like DJ, shall not be audible "beyond" the area of your
control. In this case that would be the boundary of your property you control.
The Petition for Conditional license was signed by Roland Barrera because he was the LLC Manager at the time. Even though
he is no longer the LLC Manager, ABC does not have the Conditions re -executed due to a LLC Manager change. Note that
while the LLC Manager has changed, the licensee is still subject to the imposed conditions.
Like LLC Manager changes, the ABC does not issue new conditions for DBA changes (see below).
ABC License Certificate:
The ABC license certificate has a notation for "Conditions". If you had no conditions it would be blank under the word
Condition. In you case since you do have conditions, the ABC's internal coding for conditions is the number "7". The "7" does
not relate to the number of actual conditions (eg. seven (7) conditions). In your case you only have two (2) ABC conditions.
The `7" only signifies the license is subject to one (1) or more conditions.
ABC Website:
The DBA will change if you request a DBA change from the ABC (see below).
Roland Barrera's name will continue to be listed even though he is a minority member. If later he is no longer a member, you
need to provide the ABC an update showing the change and then the ABC will update the ABC website and remove his name.
DBA Changes:
The listed DBA was the name you originally used. In order to update the ABC with the current DBA, I can prepare a letter to
the ABC notifying them of the current DBA as "Holiday". Let me know if you want me to prepare and submit the DBA change.
i hope that helps clarify how the ABC conditions, website, coding and DBA work. Let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Michael

Mr. Lee, and City Council members, I am writing in support of the CUP for the Holiday
entertainment permit.
I have been a resident in Costa Mesa for 20 years and my wife and I are always looking for venues
where we can see live entertainment for members of our generation, and it looks like Holiday
would be that venue.
Costa Mesa is a City of the Arts, .I think it should expand beyond the South Coast Rep or
Segerstrom, a venue that has Iimited appeal and is out of reach for the average resident of Costa
Mesa. The City put west 19th St, in a planned area to revitalize the area, and bring in Holiday
would continue the vision of the West 19 Plan.
I think that the staff and planning commission did a very thorough job vetting this application.
Bringing the item back up to City Council shows that staff and Council have put in the proper work
to ensure that this business is a good neighbor. There appears to have been quite a number of
mitigations and conditions for the surrounding neighbors to monitor the noise levels. The
application is renewed yearly and with the conditions imposed, if they are bad neighbors, I trust
that the City will take measures to ensure they fix issues or they won't get their permit renewed.
Again, My wife and I support this Conditional Use Permit. We are excited to have a place to listen
to live music.
Thank you.

Hello Mayor Mensinger and City Council Members,
I am a resident of the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach and also the past President of the Balboa Peninsula Point
Association. I take great pride in our local communities. I am writing to you on behalf of the "Holiday" CUP application. I
am not an investor of Holiday, but know the ownership group and many of the investors very well. I have had a personal
relationship and have had extensive business dealings with them over several decades. Mr. Javier Vasquez and Mr.
David Obbage are sophisticated individuals with very high standards. They operate their businesses in a very
professional manner.
I am in support of their application for live entertainment in this location. This will provide a unique venue for the Costa
Mesa community and create an upscale entertainment venue for this neighborhood.
I am unable to attend the City Council meeting tonight, but request that you vote in favor of their application.
Thank you for your support!

Mel, I would like to email to notify you that I am in support of Holiday's CUP application for live entertainment.
With all the opportunities to go out to bars and restaraurants in Orange County, it's nice to have options for
something different than the normal DJ for music/entertainment. Holiday has an amazing environment and
would be even better if there was live entertainment as well!

Hello Mr. Lee:
I would like to express my support for the application for live entertainment at the Holiday Entertainment Club
located 719 W. 19th St. in Costa Mesa.
Costa Mesa is a thriving city which is in need of entertainment and which would benefit from the variety of
music and cultural diversity Holiday would have on its stage.
I have visited this newly remodeled club and found it clean, well managed and just a great place to get together
with friends.
Count me in as a booster of this supplication!
Warm regards,

IN THE COSTA MESA CITY COUNCIL REVIEW OF PLANNING COMMISSION
APPLICA TION PA -16-55 HOLIDAY (FORMERL Y LION'S DEN AND MAISON)
Argument in support of Denial of
the Request for Live Entertainment
November 15, 2016
City of Costa Mesa City Council
Public Hearing
Preamble
Request to Remove Applicant's
Amplified Music Use Permissions
Request to City to file violation notice of
Applicant's License Condition #2 with
the Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control
Request for Nuisance Abatement of
Applicant
(verbal delivery at hearing)
Applicant, the Pange Family Trust (hereafter "Holiday") applies for a Conditional Use Permit
(hereafter "CUP") to allow live entertainment in their facility licensed by the California
Alcoholic Beverage Control (hereafter "ABC") within 10 feet of residential zoned property.
Center Street residents against Corruption (hereafter "CAC") oppose the issuance of the CUP
as conditioned and proposed, and request the City of Costa Mesa (the "City") officially notify
ABC that applicant is in violation of the License conditions, abate the nuisance in our
neighborhood, and immediately strike the allowance of any amplified entertainment at the
facility.
Lastly, CAC objects to the highly prejudicial sugar-coating of this application.

The Sugar Coating of the Application is Highly Prejudicial
Sugar coating is required when facts in support of a finding do not exist, or are tenuous at
best. In this case, the facts in support of upholding the Planning Commission decision 9-12-16 do
not exist, and significant efforts were made to mitigate the lack of facts to support an approval
finding.
Material Omissions Disclosed Resulted in Planning Commission Malfeasance
The original staff report for this application dated 9-1-16, did not include the ABC operating
restrictions for this facility. This document (see "Correspondence" handwritten pages 133-134)
includes minimal conditions of operation and is dated 9-11-14. The condition relevant to the
application and the facility is condition No. 2, which reads:
Any entertainment provided shall not be audible beyond the area under the control of the
licensee.
The Sugar Coating of the Application was Willful
The Planning Commission hearing of 9-12-16 can be reviewed at the City's video on demand
page. Review will reveal the Holiday presentation carefully skirted around the most material
ABC condition, #2. Unbeknownst to everyone else in the hearing, the CAC Residents had
contacted the Santa Ana ABC and requested the Operating Restrictions page be faxed to Jasmine
French in the City clerk's office with reference to PA -16-55 only. CAC residents and Jasmine
French confirmed that receipt. The ABC Operating Restrictions was finally introduced at the
hearing during public comment by CAC residents.
ABC Wholly Contr ols the Audible Component of Entertainment at Holiday
The ABC wholly regulates the sale of alcohol and related activity. Some areas are under
exclusive ABC jurisdiction, namely "the manufacture, sale, purchase, possession and

transportation of alcoholic beverages. Other areas of related activity fall under the ABC
jurisdiction, when triggered as a matter of law. In this case, the trigger is the distance between the
Holiday facility and adjacent residences.
Holiday Triggered Rule 61.4, Chapter 1, Title 4 California Code of Regulations
The implication of the City's staff report is that a 200 foot distance is a trigger for this
hearing. In reality the distance between CAC residences and Holiday is as few as 10 feet. The
Rule 61.4 criteria for triggering the imposition of protective conditions is a 100 foot measurement';',
from the facility to residences. The Rule 61.4 incorporates this language in determining the
distance measurement:
Distances provided for in this rule shall be measure by airline
from the closest edge of any residential structure to the the closest edge
of thep remises or the closest edge of the parking lot or parking area, as
defined herein above, whichever distance is shorter.
The Distance between the Holiday and residences is as few as 10 Feet, which is the setback
between the closest CAC residences and the Holiday rear parking lot.
9-11-14 Liquor License Contains ABC Operating Restrictions Triggered by 61.4
The Holiday ABC license was executed and file -stamped 9-11-14 and evidences Holidays
binding agreement between Holiday and ABC. Holiday agreed with their signature, that Rule
61.4 was the reason for the ABC operating restrictions. Holiday further agreed that violation of
the conditions "shall be grounds for suspension or revocation of the license(s)."
The 9-11-14 ABC Condition #2 Preempts the City's Noise Ordinance at the Facility
As of 9-11-14, the ABC took whole control of the audio component of entertainment
provided at Holiday. They did this by conditioning fugitive sound from Holiday -provided

entertainment to be zero, or silence. The City's Noise Ordinance as relates to this state -licensed
facility is preempted by the state -imposed condition. The City has no regulatory capability with
respect to fugitive entertainment sound since sound is not measured in the negative. 2
The City's CUP Conditioning is Heavily Weighted to Noise Regulation by the City
A negative result of the material and prejudicial omission of the ABC operating restriction
resulted in a City staff recommendation to the Planning Commission to approve the request for
live entertainment with conditions. The conditions include much City staff man hours and
activities in an area the ABC wholly controls. The regulatory goals of the City's proposed
conditions directly dilute the ABC conditions. Taxpayer dollars fund both the state and city
regulatory efforts, and one can only conclude waste as a result. These are not grounds that
support a finding to support live music at Holiday, and are wholly irrelevant.
The City's CUP Conditioning Encourages Operation of the Facility in Violation of ABC
Conditions
The City's CUP proposed conditions undercut the ABC operating restrictions to a less
strict standard. Holiday has demonstrated clearly that is seeks to abide by the City's Noise
Ordinance and it's less strict standard. This allowance of fugitive entertainment noise is a
violation of the ABC conditions, which "shall be grounds for the suspension or revocation of the
license(s)." s The issuance of a CUP for live entertainment under these circumstances is not
reasonable under any interpretation.
The City's CUP Conditioning Fosters Invasion of Residences Privacy
The City's proposed conditioning include multiple layers of sound measurement and
exhortations from the applicant, their supporters, and Planning Commissioners for CAC residents
to acquiesce to sound measurement within their property, and indeed, even within their homes. In
The City's Noise Ordinance is measured 25 feet from the source, and allows 40f dB depending upon various variables

light of the ABC prohibition on any fugitive noise from Holiday even into their own parking lot,
the omission of the ABC conditions allowed City officials to become complicit in overt demands
to give up resident's privacy. This negative impact from the material omission of the ABC
conditions reinforces the CAC resident's view of Holiday as a predator, wholly dishonest, and a
neighbor which requires more than good fencing.4
Material Omissions Resulted in Biased and Prejudiced Correspondence
The material omission of the ABC sound prohibition should cast significant discount to all
the communication received in support of Holiday's request. Any letter of support in the light of
the ABC conditions are properly discounted. The proper channel to make significant changes to
controlling laws and regulations is not via a City CUP.
Material Omissions Resulted in Impr oper Notice to the Public
The material omission of the ABC sound prohibition condition can not in any reasonable
or objective standard be considered proper notice of the matter. Viewed in the light of the
proposed City conditions, it could be called fraud and misrepresentation.
Material Omissions Caused Irreparable Harm to the Credibility of City Appointees
The material omission of the ABC sound prohibition, and the sudden surprise introduction
of them, resulted in significant dais discussion during the Planning Commission hearing on
9-12-16. The dais discussion, while incredulous at first, quickly devolved into what
Commissioner McCarthy called for: a `carve out' of the ABC condition he referred to as a
`poison pill'. The Planning Commission worked diligently to divorce the ABC condition
regarding sound, while during the only other hearing earlier in the session, created the condition
stated by the ABC 32 condition, for a UFC gym 300 feet from residences.
4 _ol�ay's predecessor was Maison. The current operators are indistinguishable in behavior from the purportedly divorced
prior `management', except by their sugar coated veneer. The prior management's neighborhood outreach to CAC residents is
highlighted by their attorney screaming at a CAC resident to "move" and "move out".

The Holiday Facility is Incapable of Containing their Business Model
During the 9-12-16 Planning Commission, Holiday presented respected Acoustical
Engineer Mike Holritz from Landrum and Brown. His direct testimony was that the facility could
not contain the sound, but could meet the City's Noise Ordinance.
Holiday Willfully Will Not Comply with the ABC Conditions
Mr. Holritz testified during the Planning Commission hearing 9-12-16 that the volume of
noise the CAC residences have to withstand is directly under the control of Holiday
The CAC Residents have Filed a Verified Complaint with ABC
A verified complaint was filed by a Center Street resident. That complaint was filed on or
about 9-15-16 with the Santa Ana ABC office, and to the best of our knowledge, that is an open
investigation. The complaint is based upon violation of the ABC conditions, and was accepted
under Sections 25601 and 24200. While the City's staff report shows no disciplinary action, the
issuance of a CUP to Holiday, while under this cloud, is not prudent. CAC residents make weekly
and bimonthly complaint reports to the assigned ABC investigator.
Residents have called CMPD Numerous Times with Noise Complaints from Holiday
CAC residents have made numerous direct requests to Holiday, and requested CMPD
numerous times during each weekend period of Thursday thru Saturday evening, request Holiday
"turn it down." City officials have telegraphed pressure to CAC residents expressing they `don't
want CMPD responding to noise calls at this facility. This attitude has also been expressed by the
CMPD field officers that respond to calls. All efforts directed at Holiday to operate within their
ABC license have failed.
Material Omissions is Resulting in Ongoing Harm to the Center Street Neighborhood
The Holiday operation, in it's willful violation of ABC conditions is per se a nuisance. This

nuisance takes form in stress on the negatively impacted families and children in the
neighborhood. The violation of the Rule 61.4 triggered ABC conditions harm specifically these
resident's interests in safety, health, education, the economy, and the political process.
Harm to the Center Street Neighborhood in the Form of Diminished Safety
The CAC residents are less safe now, than before Holiday's operations. This is evidenced
by the CMPD field reaction to calls, which is diametrically opposite CMPD staff and ABC
command recommendations. Despite many efforts with CMPD field officers to issue a citation,
residents are continually `talked out of it'. Meanwhile, calls to CMPD watch commanders yield
totally different recommendations as to what to say to responding field officers.
In addition, residents are more than aware of the diminished public safety staff, are
guilt -tripped out of calling CMPD, and it is clear from Commissioner comments that they do not
want CMPD being called. An examination of the conditioning efforts further reveals that Code
Enforcement should be contacted instead. Residents can only shake their head as it is obvious that #'
code enforcement may have a body here or there on night duty, but calling CMPD does not

produce CE personnel.
Harm to the Center Street Neighborhood in the Form of Damage to Health
Holiday sugar coats their application with the siren song of 'live entertainment' while they
are simultaneously and non-stop assaulting the Center Street neighborhood with unmitigatable
bass notes until 2 a.m. This low frequency sound, originating in such close proximity, is
penetrating the structures of the CAC residences. There are known health effects from this that
CAC residents are now suffering from including but not limited to headache, emotional stress,
and disrupted sleep rhythms. The age range of the negatively impacted residents is between 16
months and 60 years of age.

Harm to the Center Street Neighborhood in the Form of Educational Impairment
Negatively impacted residents include school age children. It is common knowledge that
children need a frill night of rest to perform their best in school. Holiday has directly infringed
upon that since the Newport Mesa Unified School District 2016-2017 school year began. This
educational impairment during the school year is not limited to `school nights' of Monday
through Friday, but also directly and negatively impacts school activities on Saturday. These
include activities such as band and sports.
Harm to the Center Street Neighborhood in the Form of Economic Hits
Center Street residents have no use of their yard during Holiday operating hours. This is an
economic hit. Some residents have resorted to white noise devices to attempt to mitigate the bass.
This is another cost.
But the largest cost in dollar terms is the assault of the Rule 61.4 protections against the
impairment of our property. The Rule 61.4 goals are eviscerated if the Holiday nuisances are
allowed to continue. Center Street real estate owners should be able to proffer the 61.4 -triggered
ABC conditions to reassure any potential buyer that their property is not impaired by a
non-compliant, illegal bar. These Rule 61.4 protections against impairment are at work in tens of
thousands of ABC licensed facilities that back up against residential neighborhoods throughout
the state of California.
The City's complicity in furthering this assault on Center Street should not continue, and
the Center Street residents have been very patient letting the administrative remedies path play
out. It should be noted that blockbusting by use of a negatively -impacting illegal bar, and
bringing blight to a neighborhood, impairing property values, is not good local governance.
Despite the staff reports characterization of the neighborhood as `high density' the majority
of property on Center Street is Single Family owner occupied homes. One third of those parcels

are duplexed, and the nuisance from Holiday further impairs the neighborhood's economic
progress by their nuisance presence which is a negative screen for prospective tenants. Their
continued nuisance has already proved to be a major irritant to renters and will exert negative
pressure on rents that can be achieved.
Political Harm to the Center Street Neighborhood
The Holiday operation was a contributor to the Mayor Stephen Mensinger's bid to return to
the dais in the 2016 general election. Owners of the bar are politically adept and CAC residents
are well aware of their machinations with all the member of the City Council. When it becomes
apparent that the Center Street neighborhood's fate is at the whim of political connections and
pay -to -play whether in-kind or otherwise, the neighborhood is disenfranchised from the political
realm. Despite all our political efforts, we are keenly aware that the welfare of our small
neighborhood, the children and families within, could fall victim to political predation.
The Violation of the Rule 61.4 Triggered Condition is Class Discrimination
Rule 61.4 establishes a class of residences statewide. This class is host to tens of
thousands of ABC licenses and are the first line of defense against neighborhood degradation
from the negative impacts of widespread alcohol availability. The preservation of these class
rights that protect the Center Street neighborhood should be the focus of the City's conditioning
efforts for Holiday. To do otherwise is to single our neighborhood out for separate and unequal
treatment and is discriminatory.

Dear Council Members.
Please deny the conditional use permit for live entertainment at 719 W. 19th Street, Holiday venue. This is "not in the right
location" as stated and decided in chambers during public hearing May 2015.It impacts the quiet enjoyment of our
neighborhood and has caused sleep disturbances which can be very detrimental to our health. We are an already
impacted neighborhood, seen by the police calls for service documented in the planning commission agenda reports
dated May 28, 2015 and September 1 2016. The calls to that location are 7 times higher in the past year. 31 calls
documented for 5-1-2014 thru 5-26-2015 and 215 calls documented from 8-1-2015 thru 8-23-2016. There are at least 7
existing bars and restaurants with live entertainment available within blocks of Holiday. 2 blocks west of Holiday there is
Casa and Detroit. 2 blocks south, there is Tiki lounge. 3 blocks east, Social and the Triangle Square restaurants and
entertainment, including Sutra(new name now), and Yard House. And across the street from Triangle we have Goat Hill
and the Boulevard. Most of these are not located within feet of permanent residential neighbors.
Thank you,

This memo presents the findings of our site visit and sound level
measurements at the Holiday Lounge in Costa Mesa, California on November
5, 2016. The purpose of the visit was to determine compliance/non-
compliance with the City of Costa Mesa Noise Ordinance limits, which are
provided in the table below. Since the project will operate at night, the
nighttime noise limits will apply. The limits in the table include a 5 dBA
adjustment since the source consists primarily of music. For this project, the
defining requirement is that the music noise levels from the Holiday facility
not exceed an L50 level of 45 dBA at the adjacent residential property line.

measurement system meets the American National Standards Institute "Type
1" specifications, which is the most accurate type of sound level meter
available for community noise measurements. The meters have current
certification traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST).
Pre-recorded music was being played by a DJ, and the sound levels were
measured inside and outside the facility simultaneously. Measurements of
the noise levels from the Holiday facility at the property line were made
difficult due to traffic on 19th Street. The results of the noise measurements
are presented below in Table 2.
Table 2
NOISE MEASUREMENT RESULTS (d BA)
Type, Location Lmax Leq L50 Lmin
Inside Holiday Facility 96.8 89.6 88.8 75.2
South Property Line 56.4* 51.2 50.8 48.0
* Caused by traffic -related noise.
From the measurement chart (included at the end of this report), it can be
noted that the music levels at the southern property line did not increase
significantly during several periods when the interior noise levels increased.
Several periods can be seen where sound levels increased inside the Holiday
facility, with no corresponding increase in the outside levels. In fact, several
periods can also be seen where the outside levels were near the minimum
measured level for the measurement period at a time when the inside levels
were fairly high. This indicates that traffic noise comprised a substantial
portion of the overall measured levels.
MLH Holiday Measurements 11-5-16
Landrum & Brown Project #578001-0500
Examination of the measurement data and the field observation notes
indicates that the loudest of the music levels measured at the southern
property line were between 48 dBA and 50 dBA. The L50 levels from music
at Holiday would be somewhat lower. The ambient levels due to traffic
varied between 50 dBA and 56 dBA. Therefore, the music levels from
Holiday were lower than the traffic noise levels during the same period.
Voices from inside the Holiday facility occasionally reached about 53 dBA.
However, this only occurred for a very short period, and was not loud enough
or long enough to exceed the Noise Ordinance limits. This noise can be
further mitigated through operational controls.
It should be noted that live music, while somewhat different in character, is
not intrinsically louder than pre-recorded music. The sound level of each
type of music is ultimately dependent upon the volume setting of the
amplification equipment. Live bands may use their own amplifiers and
speakers, as well as drums. Therefore, if live music occurs at the facility,
measurements should be performed to demonstrate compliance with the
Noise Ordinance.
Low frequency sound (bass) is harder to control than higher frequency
sound. While it may not be possible to completely eliminate bass sounds,
they can be reduced to a level that is in compliance with the City's Noise
Ordinance standards.
The sound levels from the Holiday facility during these measurements were
lower than the ambient levels, and since the Noise Ordinance limits can be
adjusted to match the ambient levels, the music levels would then be in
compliance with the adjusted Noise Ordinance limits.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
