f) Are there any ways in which your business, activity or use may disrupt the
peace of the surrounding residents or businesses?
No. We do not see our business as a distraction to the surrounding residents or businesses. It will
be a source of entertainment and leisure activity offering fine foods, great drinks, trendy music,
and an upscale venue for dancing and meeting new people. Furthermore, we are in a central
location distanced far from residential and businesses within the area.
In an effort to maintain peace and safety, we will be implementing a comprehensive security plan.
First we will have a digital video surveillance system inside and outside of the property, we will
work with and consult with the Dublin Police Department for our security matters and we are
using a private security consultant "Mr. Mike Spearman" (whom we use in our other venue) with
his own security company to build an experienced in house security team.
Our security will be using high tech radios and headsets to communicate with each other. Our
crowd control for inside of the lounge will be to have adequate security guards for our occupancy
and to limit the amount of people entering so we can have a comfortable and secure environment
for our patrons and staff. Loitering and queues will be addressed by having a minimum of three
security guards outside, a roped off area for people to wait in line and to control the amount of
people coming in.
We would like to remind the city of Dublin that we are an upscale restaurant and lounge and will
be targeting an elite clientele.
g) Will your business, activity or use have any negative effects on the health or
safety of people residing or working in the vicinity?
No, our business will not have any negative effects on the health or safety of people residing or
working in the vicinity.
h) Will your business, activity or use create any negative impacts on property,
transportation systems, or existing improvements in the neighborhood?
No our business will be positive and act as a resource by attracting more people including
customers, business professionals, and people who possibly may be interested in becoming
tenants within the area.
i) Is the proposed project located on a hazardous waste and substances site
(pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5)? (A list is of these sites is
available in the Department of Community Development).
No, the proposed project is not located on a hazardous waste and substances site.
Our concept is to bring an upscale audience and will target both the youthful and mature
crowds. The dance floor is an important part of our restaurant and entertainment, which
will strongly attribute to the success of this new proposed business.
