MATT HALL, Mayor ATTEST: ^^ARA ENGLESOI<<:ity Clerk Exhibit "A" Report Describing the Measures Taken to Alleviate the Condition Which Led to the Adoption of City Council Ordinance CS-217 Prohibiting Mini-Satellite Wagering in the City of Carlsbad April 8, 2014 The City Council adopted urgency Ordinance No. CS-215 prohibiting mini-satellite wagering in the City of Carlsbad on April 30, 2013. This ordinance was in response to an application for a business license for a restaurant/sports bar, which would include mini satellite wagering as an accessory use. On May 28, 2013 the City Council adopted urgency Ordinance No. CS-217 extending the urgency ordinance for a period often months and 15 days. Urgency Ordinance No. CS-217 will expire on April 29, 2014 unless extended by the City Council for a period not to exceed one year. California Government Code Section 65858(d) requires that a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of urgency Ordinance No. CS-217 must be issued no less than ten days prior to the expiration ofthe adopted urgency ordinance. The following is intended to serve as the required report. City staff has conducted research on potential mini-satellite wagering facilities in Carlsbad and existing mini-satellite wagering facilities in other California jurisdictions. Said research is nearly complete, and findings and recommendations will be presented to the City Council at its meeting of April 22, 2014. Research that has taken place to date includes the following: • The number and location of mini-satellite wagering facilities in the state of California is currently regulated, through licensing and permitting, by the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB). CHRB restricts the number of these licenses to no more than one every 8 miles. In San Diego County, there is one located near PETCO Park called the Tilted Kilt. • As it is currently written, the City of Carlsbad's Entertainment Ordinance does not prohibit mini-satellite wagering in the City of Carlsbad. • On April 22, 2013, Carlsbad Police Department Sergeant Chris Boyd conducted a site visit at a mini-satellite wagering facility in San Clemente called OC Tavern, prior to the facility opening for the day. OC Tavern is best described as a "bar within a bar." The wagering portion of the facility is a dedicated room within a greater bar/restaurant building. Alcoholic beverages and food are served inside both locations on the same premises. • On April 23, 2013 Carlsbad Police Department Sergeant Boyd spoke to Orange County Sheriff VICE Investigator Alan Villanueva in regards to the satellite wagering at the OC Tavern. Detective Villanueva described that there were ten calls for service over the last year from the bar. The calls were further described as disturbances, bar fights, and/or customers refusing to leave. Detective Villanueva summed up OC Tavern's gambling aspects within the venue as not contributing significantly to the calls for service or public safety concerns in that area. 4 Exhibit "A" • On April 29, 2013, city staff received a letter from County of Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Captain James Wolak discussing its experience providing police service to the Crown Plaza-Commerce Casino, which operates a Race Book onsite. • Staff has been conducting additional research on legal, social, land use, and economic issues concerning mini-satellite wagering facilities. Additionally, during the April 30, 2013 council meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2013-089, which directs staff to study and recommend revisions to Title 5 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code as necessary to prohibit mini-satellite wagering within the City.
