Margaritaville Live Entertainment

Margaritaville Live Entertainment

Description of Current Project: The project proposes a Conditional Use Permit (CUP No. PMT-3292541) for live entertainment within the ground-floor restaurant and outdoors on the fourth-floor pool deck of Margaritaville Hotel located at 435 Sixth Avenue. The live entertainment is intended for patrons of the hotel restaurant and bar and will be comprised of acoustic and non-acoustic (amplified) music with no dedicated audience seating or dance floors. Small performance stages with lighting are proposed within the ground-floor restaurant interior to the space and facing south and outdoors on the fourth-floor pool deck at the southwest corner under an existing rotunda structure. The speaker systems of the indoor and outdoor spaces are proposed to be inward facing. Both spaces also propose to include a noise monitoring system to monitor and automatically reduce speaker volumes so as to not exceed noise limits. In addition, fifty percent of all doors and operable windows will remain closed during indoor live entertainment within the ground-floor restaurant. The ground floor restaurant and bar is open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and to 11 :00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Within that time, indoor live entertainment is proposed from 11 :00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and to 11 :00 p.m. Friday and Saturday (and Sunday when the following Monday is a recognized City holiday). The restaurant and bar located on the fourth-floor pool deck is open from 11 :00 a.m. to 1 0:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and to 11 :00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Outdoor live entertainment hours are proposed to be consistent to the hours of the restaurant and bar. The project site is located on the northeast corner of Sixth Avenue and J Street within the boundaries of the Centre City Planned District and the Ballpark sub-district of the East Village neighborhood of the Downtown Community Plan area. The purpose of the project is to help build out the Downtown Community Plan with an entertainment amenity. Project beneficiaries include Souldriver, LP, San Diego residents and visitors. Description of Previous Action and Project: The City of San Diego previously prepared and certified the EIR for the Downtown redevelopment project which was a proposal to modify the Redevelopment Plan, Community Plan and Planned District Ordinance which govern development of downtown San Diego. The downtown area covers approximately 1,455 acres. The area is generally bounded by Laurel Street and Interstate (I-) 5 on the north; 1-5, Commercial Street, 16th Street, Sigsbee Street, Newton Avenue, Harbor Drive, and the extension of Beardsley Street on the east; and San Diego Bay on the south and west. The proposed Downtown Community Plan would establish the overall vision for downtown and outline policies to attain this vision. The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the Downtown Community Plan, Centre City Planned District Ordinance (CCPDO), and 10th Amendmentto the Centre City Redevelopment Plan (State Clearinghouse (SCH) No. 2003041001) was certified by the former Redevelopment Agency (Former Agency) and the Council of the City of San Diego (City Council) on March 14, 2006 (Resolutions R-04001 and R-301265, respectively); and subsequent addenda to the FEIR certified by the Former Agency on August 3, 2007 (Former Agency Resolution R-04193), April 21, 2010 (Former Agency Resolutions R-04508 and R-04510), August 3, 201 0 (Former Agency Resolution R04544) and certified by City Council on February 12, 2014 (Resolution R-308724), July 14, 2014 (Resolution R-309115), and November 17, 2020 (Resolution R-313302); and the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for the Downtown San Diego Mobility Plan (SCH No. 2014121002) certified by the City Council on July 6, 2016 (Resolution R-310561 ). Development within the Downtown Community Planning area is also covered under the following documents, referred to collectively as the CAP FEIR: the FEIR for the City of San Diego Climate Action Plan (CAP) (Project No. 416603/SCH No. 2015021053) certified by the City Council on January 4, 2016 (Resolution R-310176); the Addendum to the CAP FEIR for the CAP Consistency Checklist (Project No. 416603/SCH No. 2015021053) adopted by the City Council on July 19, 2016 (Resolution R-310595); and the Addendum to the CAP FEIR for the City of San Diego CAP Update (Project No. 416603/SCH No. 2015021053) adopted by the City Council on August 10, 2022 (Resolution R-314298).
