DU-89-1
GENERAL ASSEMBLY ROOM
TERBEST AND ASSOCIATES
21900 BARTON ROAD
G.T.
The Community Development Director presented the staff
report with the conditions and recommendations from the
City Engineer, the Reviewing Agencies and Planning Staff.
Discussion on the permitted and non -permitted uses in
the zone, C-2, and explanation no. #3 "General Assembly
Room is not a permitted use when it is not part of a
restaurant facility." Explanation that any use which is
not listed as a permitted use is not permitted, but may
be permitted with a Conditional Use Permit.
Discussion on explanation #5, "...on -site consumption of
alcoholic beverages only when in connection with a
restaurant facility and if the restaurant receives a
Conditional Use Permit." The Community Development
Director explained that if the General Assembly Room is
being approved then the on -site consumption of liquor
would not be allowed unless it was in association with
the restaurant use. If the Planning Commission would
like to have the alcoholic beverage as an option for the
General Assembly Room then it could be added on.
Commissioner Buchanan asked if the Planning Commission
chose to add the option of alcoholic use would approval
still be needed by ABC (Alcoholic and Beverage Control
Department).

The Community Development Director stated that would be
correct and the project would be subjected to ABC Is
administrative process.
Discussion on the letters submitted by the applicant
(Terbest and Associates) which indicates that they are
not proposing to put in a kitchen facility. Most of the
food service for the activities would be provided by a
catering service.
Discussion on item #5 and its implication that a
restaurant facility would have to be at the location of
the proposed general assembly room location.
Discussion on the code with reference to alcoholic
beverages and the two alternatives. As a permitted use,
a liquor store may provide off site sale of alcoholic
beverages without a Conditional Use Permit. A restaurant
is a permitted use if no alcoholic beverages are served.
If alcoholic beverages are to be served it would require
a Conditional Use Permit.
Commissioner Van Gelder expressed concern with alcoholic
beverages being served, crowd control, loud music, and
code enforcement.
Chairman Hargrave asked the applicant to present his
proj ect .
MR. TERBEST
Mr. Terbest presented the project and projected uses to
the Planning Commission. He explained that the City of
Grand Terrace does not have a facility to accomodate
installation dinners, civic functions, or community
services, such as weddings. He has always had a desire
to provide the City with such a facility. This project
has been a long term plan between himself and the
developer/Bob Keeney.
Discussion on the enforcement and control of the various
activities anticipated for the facility. Services to be
provided in the facility include D.J. business, food
catering, security and administrative management.
Mr. Terbest responded to the inquiry regarding the
serving of alcoholic beverages. He stated that if ABC
approves the license then they will have it properly
controlled. They are not intending to have it as a
permanent type of liquor facility.

Discussion on the reaction of the proposed facility from
the other tenants. Mr. Terbest replied that the contact
they have had with the tenants has been positive.
Discussion regarding any noise that may emit from the
patio area or the facility itself. Mr. Terbest
anticipated that they will comply with all of the City
Ordinances including the noise ordinance which indicates
a 10:00 p.m. deadline. They do not intend to have late
crowds but perhaps an occasional New Year's Eve Party or
St. Patrick's Party.
Discussion on the soundproofing in the facility.
MR. BOB KEENEY
12129 MT. VERNON
GRAND TERRACE, CA.
Mr. Keeney stated that they had not planned on anything
other than R-11 insulation on the walls and R-19 on the
ceilings. If the Planning Commission desired they would
be agreeable to upgrading to R-30 on the ceilings.

proposed conditions of the project. The Community

considered under the Conditional Use Permit process.
This meeting this evening deals with Determination of Use
