PlanningBoard | 2021-07-12 | 8 | Board Member Curtis said his second was contingent on the friendly amendment of taking the hours back to 11 am to 6 pm. President Teague said they could make that a second motion. Board Member Hom thought that voting on the hours separately was a good approach. He suggested in regards to surveillance cameras, suggested installing cameras not higher than the fence (8 feet) line to ensure privacy for the neighbors. Director Thomas said that was feasible and they could make that adjustment. Board Member Curtis made a motion to move the hours back to the staff's recommendation of 11 am to 6 pm. President Teague seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed 4-1, with Board Member Hom voting against and Vice President Saheba and Board Member Ruiz absent. Board Member Rothenberg made a motion to advance the conditional Use Permit subject to the refinement of the terms in the resolution. The applicant would work with the staff to develop, publish and enforce a Good Neighbor Policy. For Condition #5 under amplified sound, they would add live performances and announcements to comply with the Noise Ordinance. All exterior lighting would have to comply with the Dark Sky Ordinance and lights would be directed below the neighbor's window lines. All cameras would not be mounted above the fence line. Lastly, this would come back for review with the Planning Board in 6 months. A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0 with Vice President Saheba and Board Member Ruiz absent. President Teague checked that the ASL interpreter's services were no longer required, thanked them, and excused them from the meeting. 7-B 2021-1118 1435 Webster Street - Use Permit for Use of Parking Lot for an Outdoor Commercial Entertainment Events - Applicants: West Alameda Business Association, West End Arts District, and the Fireside Lounge.
