Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2012 -03 <br />November 26, 2012 <br />Page 4 <br />Category IV — Amplified music <br />Dancing <br />After -hours CUP (operating past midnight) <br />Permit required with standard conditions <br />Patrons must be 21 years and older after 10:00 p.m. <br />Rescindina Resolution 89 -7 <br />Section 41- 630(b) of the SAMC allows the Planning Commission to delegate certain duties to the <br />Zoning Administrator. In 1989 the Planning Commission delegated authority to the Zoning <br />Administrator to grant Conditional Use Permits for alcohol sales licenses. Over the years this has <br />caused delays for applicants who have had to have subsequent meetings before the Planning <br />Commission, as well as confusion in those cases where an alcohol license CUP is proposed in <br />conjunction with a banquet or after -hours CUP, which are heard by the Planning Commission. Staff <br />recommends rescinding Resolution 89 -7, thereby removing the authority to grant alcohol license <br />CUPs from the Zoning Administrator and returning that responsibility to the Planning Commission. <br />Changing Title of Chapter 12 <br />SAMC Chapter 12 is currently titled "Entertainment" though it deals exclusively with adult <br />entertainment as defined in SAMC Section 41- 1701.6. With the proposed changes to Chapter 11, <br />which would change this chapter from specifically regulating dancing to regulating a wider variety of <br />entertainment, staff recommends that Chapter 12 be changed from "Entertainment' to "Adult <br />Entertainment' and Chapter 11 be changed from "Dancing" to "Entertainment." <br />Public Outreach <br />The process to craft these new regulations formally began in November of 2011 with a Planning <br />Commission Study Session. During that meeting the Commission appointed an ad hoc <br />committee consisting of Commissioners Gartner, Mill and Yrarrazaval. Staff then conducted <br />working sessions with a wide cross - section of those groups and individuals, both within the City <br />organization and in the broader community, who might have an interest in this topic. Over the <br />course of the last year those who participated have included representatives from: <br />75A -10 <br />
