Background Information:
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.
Valentino’s has held a “Restaurant (Eating Establishment)” Conditional Use Permit (CUP) since 2021. In accordance with the Development Code, a “Restaurant (Eating Establishment)” located within the Central Business Area (CBA) must meet certain standards related to kitchen equipment, meal periods, advertisement, and cleanliness outlined in Section 5.1.5.5.B.4.b.
2022: The business submitted a Restaurant CUP which was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission for one year, with conditions. Approved with an effective date of July 29, 2022.
2023: The renewal of the Restaurant CUP was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission for three years with conditions. The CUP was amended to include the outdoor patio (570 sq ft) and a sidewalk café.
