GRAHAM:I just wanted to ask, excuse me, a question as to why this or why this change even came up. Is this sort of an intellectual exercise on the part of the Council, they felt like it was appropriate, or was there were anything they were responding to that brought this about? GAGORIK:Yeah, I think when you look at the transcripts of the CouncilÓs Planning Committee, Ms. Leithhead Todd had felt that, I guess it was brought to her attention there were some uses that were inconsistent in terms o and felt to try to be more consistent she would include some of the uses from the Commercial zoning in there, knowing that this doesnÓt make everything perfect. Because we still know there are some inconsistencies that exists in a lot of the zoning districts. But, for example, if you look at the list, it allowed bars, but not cabarets. So, you know, that was added in to be more consistent. GALDONES:Commissioners, any further, any other questions? KUBOTA:Just for clarification, what is the difference between a bar and a cabaret? I mean what defines one and the other? GAGORIK:I donÓt know because there is no definition. But I would think maybe cabarets have dancing, I donÓt know. YUEN:ItÓs not actually defined in the Zoning Code, is it? GAGORIK:No. YUEN:Typically, a cabaret has some kind of entertainment. And t different kind of license for a cabaret, I canÓt, IÓm not an -, in the Liquor Commission rules. Does anybody know? I donÓt know the difference but I do know there is a difference between a bar license and a cabaret license and it has to do with entertainment. KUBOTA:Thank you. GALDONES:Any further discussion? SPRINGER:Mr. Chairman? GALDONES:Commissioner Springer. SPRINGER:I agree with the recommendations of the Planning Department with regard to accepting those, I think itÓs four, uses. KUBOTA:Did you move that? GALDONES:If thereÓs no further discussion, Commissioner Springer, would you like to incorporate that into a motion? 3
