Re uest„of Paul E. 'A ilfiams for, a Conditional Use Per City Planner Grawfaard presented a floor plan of the building located at 316 Pier Avenue 4,nd said that Mr. Paul E. V. illiams had a two -fold request: to obtain a Conditional Use Permit to sexve beer in his eating establishment, and a Con- ditional, Use Permit to have entertat% meat in the form of silent pictures. Dur- ing the presentation of the staff repo.q and the required considerations, he men- tioned that there was an existing lack of off-street Barking and the possibility of providing entertainment might overload ors -street parking. The Police Chief suggested that if the request is granted, that alcoholic beverages be sold only with food and that they applicants be required to request~ a conditional beer license. Its. Crawford indicated that it was highly probable that this could be the start of similar requests on this part of Fier t°venue. He also felt that the showing of movies would not be a wise thing in that the entertainment wo.ald seem to appeal more to a drinking crowd Than an eating a:.rowd. Public Hearing opezted: 7:53 p. m. Mr. John Powers 1163 - 7th Place, Ha&m3osa Reacts, spoz,e in :'avos Of r'anV1 g the Conditional Use Pewits. He said the buildiag had won tlhe -Mayoras beauti- fication :award, and it was only as an impetus to attract more dining c;1stoYimers that the proprietor wished to add the two now features, becaise the lack of people passing by and the nature of the business had made it dtffic,alt; to attract customers. Mr. Paul V. illiams, 2205 Voohrees, Redondo Beach, proprietor of the business, explained the proposed operation, that there would be no bar and said that the movies will be silent films such as Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy. Mr. Crawford mentioned that the applioatior: indicated a closing time of 11:00 p. ra. can Friday and Saturdays, while the business license had been issued for 10:00 p. m.. Mr. V illiams indicated that he would abide by the business license, but felt that some late alining inight be desirable. w 4 W2- Cooahm. Stabler questioned - wheiher the light intensity would not be too high to show films and Mr. V illiarns assured him it was not, that only a few lights would have to be turned off. Comm. Vatters asked what proportion was take-out business and Mr. 1Nilliams estimated 32 to 56% in the evenings, none in tiha day time. More questions were directed to Mr. V. illiams concerning ns•omotion of the movies, the duration of the files, chow often they will be changed, total seating capacity of the restaurant, the type of customer his business attracts# and how many people were served in the beak period of the day. Chairman noble said that he would abstain from voting because he owned the building, but that he felt serving beer with the dispensing of food in this case would be satisfactory, although he was generally opposed to bear bars.
