B.. HEARING OFFICERS REPORT ON LUI'S FANTASY RESTAURANT
AND NIGHT CLUB
Robert Dickey, Assistant City Manager, stated that Mr. Lui
has received an Occupancy Permit and he has received a Business
License for Public Eating, and does have a license for coin oper-
ated game and for a coin operated phonograph. Additionally Mr.
Lui had applied and been approved on a Conditional Use Permit by
the Planning Commission and he had received a temporary Alcoholic
Beverage Permit until such time as the other license could be trans-
ferred. He stated that the recommendation with respect to the
operation of Dance and Entertainment Permit which is being consi-
dered at this time, is to deny the permit based upon the reasons
listed in the report. The recommendation would be to deny the
permit without prejudice to allow for a re-application once the
facility is established as a full-service restaurant and this is
incorporated within the Conditional Use Permit as condition #9.
Fie stated that if the Council should elect to approve the Dance and
Entertainment Permit, there are conditions listed that are recommended.
Fred Kennedy, Attorney, 735 W. Duarte Road, Arcadia, representing
Mr. Luis, and spoke on behalf of his client and the issuance of a
Dance and Entertainment Permit and felt that there was no reason why
Mr. Lui should not be allowed to have the permit.
Councilman Taylor stated that Mr..Kennedy may not be aware of
the Sheriff's report that the Council had received, not because of
whoever the owner may be, but the type of business. He stated that
one of the major problems in this City,as far as ':police-enforcement,
has been the type of activity that was going on at the Brewery.
Robert Kress, City Attorney, stated the recommendation'of'Mr.:
Dickey `is-;a denial without prejudice. Mr. Lui can in essence make
good on some of his promises and become a full service restaurant.
The questions regarding what has transpired since Mr. Lui has taken
over this facility leaves the Hearing Officer and.certain.Council--
members-to feel that it is business as usual down there. It is not
a restaurant at all. It is a bar operating with'various kinds of
entertainment that has not been authorized, and.that Mr. :Kennedy
should expand on what the change in:activities:are with Mr. Lui's
operation of the facility. The Hearing Officer's recommendation
is not a denial forever. He is recommending that the Council not
approve it at this time, and if the image and the way of doing busi-
ness is changed would then allow with conditions the type of enter-
tainment that they seem to be seeking. CM 7-27-82

Mr. Kennedy stated that there are some kinds of businesses
that cannot operate on a one phase system that has been suggested.
This operation would never go as a restaurant alone. It would
never go as a Dance and Entertainment place alone. It would never
go without a liquor license. With one of the three not present,it
is not a profitable operation. He stated that Mr. Lui is not fight-
ing the conditions set forth, but without the Dance and Entertainment
Permit he cannot have a'successful restaurant.
Councilman Taylor stated that Mr. Lui is not under question
at all, only that the type of business and the problems that come
with that type of business.
Robert Kress, City Attorney, inquired of Mr. Lui when he opened
and when he closed and what he did in between time. What was being
served and when the entertainment started. He requested to know
what the whole program was.
Mr. Lui, 1820 Alta Vista Drive, Alhambra, owner of the facility,
stated that the whole format is the same as before, open Thursdays
through Sundays, and we did open for lunch, Thursday and Friday and
the food was put away at 2:00 p. m. and opened again at 5:00 p. m.
and are open only if.someone comes in for a drink in between. 5:00
p.m. we serve the salad bar and sandwiches and then at 9:00 p. m.
the entertainment starts. Since this is an industrial area he felt
that it would be impossible to just depend on the food to operate a
successful business.
Councilman Cichy inquired if Mr. Lui.had read the memorandum
of July 22nd from Mr, Dickey and if the Council should grant a
License for a Dance and Entertainment Permit he'had listed addi-
tional conditions with regards to restrictions of the hours of the
entertainment.
Mr. Lui stated that he had read that report.
Councilman Cichy inquired if Mr. Lui felt that those restric-
tions would be extremely burdensome.
Mr. Lui stated "yes". He felt that the hours were too restric-
tive, and it would be difficult to live with in order to run a busi-
ness, and felt that the Dance and Entertainment Permit would be an
integral part of the profit motive for running a business.
Alfonzo Anzures, Jr., 753821 Garvalia, Security Officer,.spoke
about the problems with the Brewery when he used to frequent it.
He has been Security Officer for Mr. Lui's restaurant and felt that
now.the clientele had changed since Mr. Lui had taken over. He
stated that he used to go there, but stopped going there because it
was getting too rough, but since working there.Mr. Lui has been
enforcing a new dress code and gang members do not want to meet the
dress code so they are not allowed in and the trouble is not started.
William Chan; 9031 Bentel Street, spoke on behalf of the issuance
of the permit and spoke as an acquaintance of Mr. Lui:
Mayor. Tury stated that he was pleased when he heard that someone
else had taken over the Brewery, but after seeing the advertisements
he felt that it was going to be the same as it was before. He doesn't
see the difference, and although Mr. Lui may be a great fellow,he is
allowing the same kind of entertainment and will attract the same
crowd of people.
Frank Vanti, 701 S. Atlantic, Monterey Park, a friend of the
family, stated that the conditions which Mr. Lui would be signing
states that any violation of these conditions would be grounds for
revokation of this permit. He stated that the thing that bothers
him the most is that this man may not get the license because of. the
previous owner's actions. Other than the advertisement that had been
placed in the paper... He felt that Mr. Lui now knows what the City is
looking and with these conditions imposed the Council would have the
recourse to revoke that license.
CM 7-27-82

Salah Mudarris, 6208 Peterson, Woodland Hills, previous
owner of the Brewery, and stated that he ran the place for five
years and ran into problems with the customers in the past, but
it has been eight or nine months and since then there hasn't been
any troubles.
Mayor Tury stated that many of the neighbors on Sullivan
Avenue have complained about the problems originating from his
facility. He stated that this was not an indictment of Mr. Mul-
darris or his operation or Mr. Lui and his proposed operation,
but simply, does.that.type of entertainment or that type of busi-
ness interfere with the residential area around it.
James L. Gordon, 4762 Elmwood Avenue, Hollywood, Bartender,
spoke on behalf of Mr. Lui's request for a Dance and Entertainment
Permit.
Andrew Lui, owner, spoke again requesting the Council to
grant permission for a Dance and Entertainment Permit at 9100-9118
E. Garvey.Avenue, Rosemead. He stated that he had cleaned up the
building both inside and outside, placed uniformed security guards
on the outside and inside, and enforced the dress code. The clientele
had been changed for the better and everyone seemed happy, and the
zone was all M-1 and is not bothering anyone.
Councilman Taylor stated that with no reflection on Mr. Lui
but just going by the past record of the type of business that was
down there, and going on a assumption that that type of business
would continue and the types of problems that went on with that
type of business, he could not support the program as it was pre-
sented.
Councilman Cichy stated that the City has faced other problems
in the past and cured them and sometimes we let personal beliefs or
morals interfere with the legislation involved.. He stated that he
had inquired about six months ago with the staff and found there
had not been any problems there recently. He stated that with Mr.
Lui spending a lot of time, money and effort in the effort to change
the clientele, and with the extremely stringent recommendations both
by the Planning Commission and the staff if entertainment would be
allowed, he did not feel.that this permit should be denied to Mr. Lui.
They should allow him to operate the business and he should not be
penalized for prior conditions that existed. He felt that there
should not be a large building left vacant. Since a large part of
the profit comes from the dancing and entertainment and from the
looks of the inside of that place it just couldn't operate as a
single service or a dual service bar-restaurant. It would then be
another vacant building in the City. He felt that the City should
regulate it and hold him to it and should enforce it and he should
be allowed to operate it under very stringent conditions:.
Councilman Cleveland stated that he hated to penalize anyone
for some else's' previous efforts. He stated there.are a lot of
people who seem to appreciate this type of business and he felt
that he should be entitled to operate for a period of time to prove
his ability to control the situation. If after he was granted a
permit fora certain period of time and he did not abide by the
conditions then that would be the time to close the business. He
stated that he could not vote ".no" on this application.
MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TAYLOR, SECONDED BY MAYOR TURY that the
application request be denied,based upon the findings of the Sheriff's
report received in the past,, and the testimony that was given regard-
the problems and the potential problems,without prejudice to allow
for a reapplication once the facility is established as a full service
restaurant. Vote resulted:
AYES: Councilman Taylor and Mayor Tury
NAPES: Councilmen Cichy and Cleveland
ABSENT: Councilman Imperial
ABSTAIN: None
Whereupon the Mayor declared the motion did not pass and no
action was taken.
CM 7-27-82
Page #7
Mayor Tury.stated that he lives in that area and about two
weeks ago on a Saturday night he noticed cars all over the place
and people mingling on the sidewalk, and he though to himself
"oh, no, not again". He felt that he owes something to the people
in that area. They are neighbors and residents of this City. He
stated that his personal feelings have nothing to do with it. He
did not feel that it fits that particular area.
Robert Kress, City Attorney, stated that a tie vote means
that there was no action taken, and at the next meeting there
should be a fifth member of the Council present and at that time
he can review the records and transcript of this meeting and he
can vote on whatever motion is made.
Mayor Tury stated that it was his understanding that Mr. Lui
can operate everything down there, coin games, bar, and restaurant.
Am I correct about that. He has everything else going. It will not
stop his business, but he cannot have dancing or entertainment.
VI. MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS
A. Councilman Cleveland stated that Councilman Imperial requested
that the City Clerk check into the 1400 absentee ballots that were
unaccounted for during the Congressional Election.
City Clerk stated that she would do her best to find out.from
the County Recorders Office.
B. Robert Dickey, Assistant City Manager, requested an issuance of
a check regarding right-of-way acquisition of Parcel #56 at the corner
of Emerson and Del Mar, in the amount of $30,300..
Councilman Taylor stated that he was not prepared to vote on
this item.
Mayor Tury inquired if this would hold up any utility relocation
if it were held over for two weeks.
Mr. Dickey stated that he did not believe that it would present
a problem.
Mayor Tury stated that this would be taken care of at the next
meeting.
C. Robert T. Dickey, Assistant City Manager, stated that notifica-
tion had been received from SCJPIA,of which this City is a member to
support Senate Bill 500 by Beverly concerning liability and City's
liability with respect to equitable apportion of total damages in
the event of a claim against the City. The purpose of the bill that
would be going before the Assembly Committee is to allow for the Judge
to make a finding and determine the degree of fault, and this would
protect a City such as Rosemead.depending upon the City's involvement
in a claim. He recommended that the Legislative Advocate be authorized
to support this particular bill.
Councilman Cichy stated that.he felt that it was an appropriate
bill to endorse.
MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CICHY, SECONDED BY MAYOR TURY that the
Legislative Advocate be authorized to support SB 500. Vote,resulted:
UPON ROLL CALL ALL COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT VOTED AYE.
The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered.
The City Council Meeting was adjourned to the next regular
Meeting on April 10, 1982 at 8:00 p. m.
