Mr. David Choy presented the Staff Report to the Commission,
indicating that the Applicants, Reality World Entertainment
Corporation, had previously attained Planning Commission approval on
November 16, 1992 for their project to be located in Enea Plaza. Due
to their inability to secure a lease at that location, the Applicants
requested approval for the same business in a different location.
There were no changes proposed to the operation of the use, including
the hours of operation, the restrictions on admission, and the
security requirements originally proposed with the application.
Mr. Choy further indicated that a traffic study had been prepared by
the City's Engineering Department for the new location. Additional
traffic would be generated by the proposed use. The Applicants have
agreed to voluntarily contribute traffic improvement funds in the
amount of $2,830.00, which would be paid prior to the establishment of
the use.

Cm. North verified that the proposed hours were the same as proposed
in the previous application.
Cm. Zika expressed concern with the dim lighting in the parking lot

increase the parking lot lighting.
Mr. Choy stated that there were no specific conditions that relate to
the lighting, although the Applicants would need to comply with police
Department requirements to achieve a minimum level of lighting in the
parking lot.

program to include "not limited to increasing the lighting in the
parking lot."
