RE: COMPLIANCE REMINDER - LIVE ENTERTAINMENT CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT CONDITIONS
To Mr. Antonio
The City of Visalia has long recognized the importance of the downtown area which represents the core of our community. This area offers a wide range of services including shopping, restaurants, employment centers and a variety of entertainment options for patrons to enjoy during the late evening hours and on the weekends. More importantly, the City values the contributions that downtown local businesses bring to the community and appreciates the efforts put forth to ensure the downtown vibrancy is retained by making this area safe and enjoyable for all residents and visitors alike.
You are receiving this letter because you own or operate a business with an approved Conditional Use Permit authorizing live entertainment activities, subject to specific conditions. Failure to comply with these conditions, designed to ensure the safety of patrons, often requires the City of Visalia to allocate significant staff resources to address unruly behavior. Such behavior can negatively impact the downtown area, surrounding businesses, and the safety of visitors.
This letter serves as a formal reminder that the authorization to host live entertainment activities within your establishment is subject to the conditions adopted when the Conditional Use Permit was approved. Adherence to these conditions is required at all times when live entertainment activities are occurring. Failure to comply with adopted conditions will result in immediate action to correct non-compliance including potential fines and suspension of the Conditional Use Permit if the non-compliance issues are found to be egregious. A copy of the approved and signed resolution for live entertainment activities for your establishment is enclosed with this letter.
To ensure that your business remains in compliance with these requirements, the City of Visalia will be conducting periodic compliance checks. These compliance checks are intended to confirm that all live entertainment conditions are being met and that live entertainment is being conducted in a manner as stated in your operational and security plans. We strongly encourage you to review the attached resolution and conditions of approval carefully to ensure that all staff, security personnel, and management are aware of the conditions that apply to your establishment when live entertainment activities are occurring.
