M I N U T E S 2 . SITE APPROVAL APPLICATION NO. SA-95-42 OF JACK FETZER (C/O MAIN STAGE ENTERTAINMENT) for a cabaret-style nightclub in an existing commercial building. The nightclub will feature live entertainment, which will include nude dancing. Alcoholic beverages will not be served. The project site is located on the northeast corner of Waterloo Road and Auto Avenue, northeast Stockton (Supervisorial District 1) . Richard Larrouy, Associate Planner, introduced the staff report into the record. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED: PROPONENTS: Ron Stein (5345 N. E1 Dorado, Stockton) , representing the applicant, said that in regard to the hours of operation, a number of bars across the street are open from 8 : 00 a.m. until 2 : 00 a.m. However, the applicant is willing to operate from 4 : 00 p.m. to 1: 00 a.m. during the week and from 4 : 00 p.m. to 2 : 00 a.m. during the weekends. They will put up a sound wall between the project site and the trailer park. This is a commercial area. It is not an issue of morality. They will have a metal detector at the door, and they will have security outside. They will have outdoor lighting. This area is different than Wilson Way, which has a lot of cheap hotels. They will own the building, and they will renovate it. They are willing to be reviewed in six months to see if there are any problems. Jeff Jarvis (1452 Love Way, Sacramento) , an engineering consultant, said he entertains his clients and on occasion takes them to these kind of clubs. He does not think the project will have a negative impact on the community. Tracy (8292 Valencia Drive, Huntington Beach) , representing a coalition of dancers in southern California, said she has been a dancer for eight years. She said that bars with alcohol have a lot more problems than juice bars. She has never had any problems in a juice bar. OPPONENTS: Reverend Lewis Stallworth, Jr. , (1050 S. Sullivan Street, Stockton) said they were here almost a year ago. They thought the issues had been settled. He thought they had a place to worship. They have a lease to purchase option with a down payment. The owner of the building has never been to any of these meetings. A nude juice bar will not be beneficial to this community. They are not from Stockton. This will draw people from surrounding cities. Response time from the Sheriff' s office is very slow in this area. The people have said they would rather have a church than a juice bar. There is a house behind the church that has children. PC MINUTES PC: 1-18-96 -6-
