RE: Redevelopment Permit Application - The Alley
I received the Redevelopment Department's documents concerning The Alley
dated October 21, 2008. The Police Department concerns identified in my March
7, 2008 memorandum have not changed.
Noise - The documents provided indicate steps have been taken to address the
excessive noise issue coming from The Alley. The Police Department does not
have the expertise to determine ifthe noise remediation measures are sufficient
to warrant issuing a redevelopment permit.
The critical issue remains and must be made perfectly clear to The Alley owner /
manager regardless of the effort, money and materials invested in attempting to
correct the noise volume level if it remains in excess of the statute limit the
establishment will be in violation of Chapter 8.09. Enforcement of noise
violations could result in the suspension / loss of The Alley's Entertainment
License even if the redevelopment permits allows for entertainment.
Patron Management - Police personnel assigned to this detail have confirmed
staffing changes have been implemented and resulted in a significant reduction
in police concerns for how patron issues are being handled. I have had a
number of conversations with Ms. Borst and Mr. McCann (attorney) regarding
management of patrons. They have advised me The Alley will be contracting
with a professional guard company when a new redevelopment permit is issued.
I believe The Alley owners / managers understand patron management is a
critical issue not only for maintaining viable business but also represents a
significant civil liability if they fail to maintain a competent staff.
Based on The Alley's actions thus far, and stated commitment to hire a
professional guard company, the Police Department's objection for failure to
provide appropriate "Patron Management" is removed.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Project conditions: (Note: The following idenfifies specific conditions necessary to achieve
Fire Department approval.)
Fire Department has reviewed this submittal and before any further consideration for
approval is made, I would ask the following question.
1. Has the applicant made application for an 'Entertainment Permit' through Carlsbad
Police Department.
It is my understanding that the Entertainment License issued through the Police
Department is to replace such Land Use permits. I will not consider one without the other
if they are both required.
