Background Information:
This location has formerly been multiple businesses including The Eskimo Hut, Jalapenos Mexican Food, Urban Bricks Pizza, and Sea Barra, all of which have held a Restaurant CUP with the sale of beer and wine and/or mixed beverages. The most recent business at this location, Sea Barra received a Restaurant CUP for Mixed Beverages in 2024. The business permanently closed in Spring of 2026.
Senate Bill 1008 provides provisions on the city’s ability to prohibit amplified sound at a restaurant. Per this bill and staff’s analysis, the City can enforce the existing noise ordinance and the conditions related to noise added to this CUP.
