PB merchants, police drive home point on Spring Break DUIs By DAVE SCHWAB

A coalition of local groups kicked offSpring Break with a media event at thePacific Beach Shore Club on Feb. 27 toimplore celebrating students not to drinkand drive, but rather to choose alterna-tives like designated drivers, taxis andmass transit.

Pacific Beach with its beach, boardwalk,restaurants and nightclubs, is one of themost popular party destinations for col-lege students and young military service-members in Southern California, migrat-ing here for an eight-week period thatbegins March 1.

RADD, the entertainment industry’svoice for road safety, has partnered withlocal colleges, the San Diego Police Depart-ment (SDPD), the Navy, the CaliforniaOffice of Traffic Safety and Discover Pacif-ic Beach to highlight safe partying prac-tices and encourage revelers to “planahead.”

Radio announcer Jeff Krapf served asemcee for the media event.

Safety should be high on the list for anystudent or resident planning to spend timein popular Spring Break party spots, saidSDPD Capt. Lori Luhnow.

“Last year, there were 485 DUI-related

arrests in the greater San Diego area dur-ing the eight weeks of Spring Break,” Luh-

After a one-year trial run, finan-cial challenges will force the MissionBay High School Alumni Associa-tion to close the Seaside FarmersMarket after Saturday, March 8.

The farmers market was estab-lished as a fundraising venue withall the profits to benefit MBHS.

According to Pam Dietz, directorof the alumni association, to contin-ue for a second year, the board ofdirectors was faced with the annual

renewal of expensive insurance, per-mits and agricultural fees. Dietz saidthat most damaging was the weeklycost of union custodial servicesmandated by the school district,which cut deeply into the market’sprofit margin, making the venuecost prohibitive.

“The alumni association onlyexists to provide financial assistancefor MBHS and, in the end, no matterhow much we all wanted to contin-

ue Seaside Farmers Market due tothe ‘fun’ factor, we needed to honest-ly decide as a nonprofit organizationif it truly was the best use of our verylimited volunteer and financialresources in order to maximize ourfundraising efforts on behalf ofMBHS,” said Dietz.

The San Diego City Council voted8-1 on Feb. 25 to enact zoning reg-ulations that would allow medicalmarijuana dispensaries to operate.But councilmembers also restricteddispensaries to mostly outlyingindustrial areas no closer than 100 feet from residences and 1,000feet from each other, schools,churches or daycare centers.

Perhaps most notably, the votealso capped the number of dispen-saries allowed to set up shop andoperate in any one of the nine CityCouncil districts to a maximum offour — a total of 30 citywide.

Several of the council districts, likethen-interim Mayor Todd Gloria’sDistrict 3, have no existing zoningsthat would meet the new require-ments for dispensaries to operate.

Other communities, however, likeKearny Mesa and Otay Mesa, con-tain numerous parcels where dis-pensaries could be located.

District 5 City Councilman MarkKersey, who cast the dissenting vote,said he could not vote for the ordi-nance because his constituentsopposed it and because federal lawcontinues to forbid possession andsale of marijuana, despite what Cal-

ifornia voters approved a few yearsago.

The City Council action amendsthe land-development code and thelocal coastal program to add medicalmarijuana consumer cooperativesas a new, separately regulated landuse.

It’s been 17 years since Califor-nia’s Compassionate Use Act wasapproved by state voters legitimizingmedical marijuana use.

Gloria said the new medical mar-ijuana ordinance “is a balance pro-viding a framework protectingneighborhoods while giving safeaccess to those (patients) thatdeserve it.”

District 4 City CouncilwomanMyrtle Cole said she supported theestablishment of zoning thatensures dispensaries will be enforce-able, adding she expected a “zero-tolerance policy” for ordinance vio-lators.

District 6 City CouncilwomanLorie Zapf said she expected the cityto realize “full cost recovery” fromthe ordinance. Zapf, who made themotion to cap the number of dispen-saries allowed in each of the councildistricts, noted “that will spread itevenly.”

District 8 Councilman DavidAlvarez expressed concern that thenew ordinance was overly restric-tive adding, “there are needs foraccess for people throughout thisentire city.”

Councilmembers took publicinput for roughly two hours asscores of people testified for and

against the new marijuana zoningordinance, including several beachresidents.

Scott Chipman of Pacific Beachclaimed public use of marijuana byadults and teens has “skyrocketed”since California voter approval ofthe legislation permitting medicalmarijuana.

Chipman spoke of dispensarieschanging names and ownership totry and conceal the fact they’re pri-marily serving recreational users ofthe drug — not medical patients, asproponents claim.

“Marijuana use is dangerous, it’sunhealthy physically and mentally,”Chipman said. “Hiding dispensariesaway in industrial areas is admittingthey’re harmful.”

The reaction from medical mari-juana proponents was mixed.

“We are glad that the San DiegoCity Council has decided to allowregulated access to medical marijua-na. However, we are very disappoint-ed with the extreme restrictions con-tained in this ordinance,” said JamesSlatic, executive board member ofthe California Cannabis IndustryAssociation.

"That said," continued James,"this ordinance does represent anopportunity to show the leadershipof the city, as well as our detractors,that well-regulated dispensarieswith responsible operators can bepositive members of the communi-ties while serving the needs ofpatients and caregivers.”

Seaside Farmers Market poised to shut down permanently

An appeal by the Pacific BeachDenny’s restaurant to reconsider itsapplication for a beer and winelicense from the California Depart-ment of Alcohol Beverage Control(ABC) was rejected by the same statelicensing agency.

The application was denied lastyear, but the restaurant at 800 Gar-net Ave., which has been in opera-tion since 1968, was granted a hear-ing to appeal the decision.

Following the Jan. 8 hearing, theABC’s Administrative Law Judgedetermined several factors:

• The restaurant is located in anarea with nearly six times the city-wide average for crime;

• Under state law, the geographicarea there should have two “on sale”licenses where alcohol is served; thisarea already has 24 of those license;

• Neighbors were concerned thatadding another alcohol outlet wouldmake crime problems worse;

• The San Diego Police Departmentalso protested the license because“issuing another license will only cre-ate an additional drain on the verylimited police resources;”

• Issuance of the license will tend tocreate or aggravate a law-enforce-ment problem in the area.

• The issuance of the license wouldinterfere with nearby residents’ quietenjoyment of their property.

The administrative law Judge rec-

ommended denial of the licenseapplication Jan. 24. That decisionwas reviewed and adopted by theABC’s General Counsel. The decisionwas certified Feb. 14. The applicanthas 30 days to appeal the decision.

Michael Manos, a retired San Diegosheriff ’s deputy who owns the Pacif-ic Beach Denny’s restaurant, said heprobably wouldn’t appeal, despite hisdisappointment.

Nonetheless, Manos said hebelieves there should be a differentcategory — and criteria — for judg-ing a liquor license application for arestaurant like his, which would sellalcohol as a supplement, as opposedto a bar, whose staple is alcohol sales.

“They made it sound like we want-ed to start selling a lot of liquor, whenour application was simply for beerand wine as a customer convenienceincidental to their meal purchase,”said Manos. “We never intended tosell beer and wine as a mainstay as abar would. We wouldn’t have sold asmuch beer in one week as a night-club down here sells in half an hour.”

Opponents of the liquor licenseapplication, like lifelong Pacific Beachresident Marcie Beckett, said the issuewas not who was applying for thelicense, but its location and operat-ing conditions.

“Everybody likes the Denny’s,” saidBeckett. “It’s just that with ABC reg-

ulations, we have no protection fromrestaurant licensees turning into bar-like establishments and operating likebars. There are dozens of examples.”

Beckett said there are no laws onthe books precluding a restaurant likeDenny’s from obtaining a beer and

wine license, then later changingownership and business models andrunning their establishments morelike bars.

Pacific Beach planners got acrash course in parking manage-ment from city planning directorBill Fulton and heard an update onan upcoming eco-district work-shop at their February meeting.

Pacific Beach Planning Group(PBPG) chairman Brian Curry saida subcommittee is being assembledto study the possibility of forming anew Pacific Beach parking districtto “look into ways to make PB abetter place.” Residential parkingpermits, parking meters and a localshuttle are some of the ideas thesubcommittee could consider,Curry said.

Planners Paul Falcone and ChrisOlson volunteered to be represen-tatives on the new parking sub-committee, which is being spear-headed by Elvin Lai, president ofDiscover PB.

“We are looking for the four at-large members from all over PacificBeach,” said Lai, noting the com-munity will be split into four quad-rants, with one representative to be

selected from each quadrant.In introducing Fulton, Curry

said Fulton has a long and impres-sive resume, which includes beingan expert urban planner andauthor, as well as being the formermayor of Ventura.

“He is an advocate of smartgrowth and an expert urban plan-ner who’s authored ‘Guide To Cali-fornia Planning,’ the standardtextbook on urban planning,”Curry said.

Taking his cue, Fulton launchedinto a PowerPoint presentation to

discuss how parking problemswere tackled — and resolved — inVentura. He noted there are simi-larities — and differences —between Ventura’s parking issuesand those confronting PacificBeach.

Fulton said Ventura’s parkingproblem wasn’t that there weren’tenough spaces, but rather thatthey were unevenly dispersed andweren’t being used to full advan-tage.

Fulton said the standardapproach to resolving parkingproblems is “more about enforce-ment of time limits [meter maids]and more about parking supply[garages].” But he said a betterapproach is not to piecemeal park-ing, but rather to look at the bigpicture of how it’s distributed andused throughout the entire area.

“If you don’t think of it as a sys-tem, you give people the wrongincentives to do the wrong things,”Fulton said, noting downtownVentura’s traffic jam was cleared

up by “select use of paid parkingand by providing monetary incen-tives to park a couple blocks awayin garages.”

The first step in managing park-ing in Ventura, said Fulton, was todocument exactly where parkingwas available, showing wheredemand exceeded supply andwhere parking was underused.

Resolving Ventura’s parkingproblem involved redistributingand more evenly spreading out theuse of parking spaces.

So, 300 of the city’s total 2,500parking spaces in the downtowncore were turned into paid spacesthat people were willing to pay forto get prime spots for shopping ordining. Off-street parking furtheraway was changed to be eitherfour-hour or free all day to enticepeople to park a short distanceaway from downtown. The endresult: parking was more evenlydistributed throughout the city’sdowntown, alleviating parkingshortages and traffic congestion.

PBPG member Chris Olson said acommunity workshop on imple-menting an eco-district in thebeach community has beenrescheduled for Tuesday, April 29at Pacific Beach Middle School at atime yet to be determined.

“Community identity, health andwell-being, access and mobility aresome of the things we’re slated todiscuss,” Olson said, adding theworkshop is intended to “bringeveryone together in the sameroom then break up into smallergroups to discuss things like neigh-borhood greenways and transitprojects.”

Olson added there’s been somediscussion of changing the namefor the new sustainability districtbeing formed from eco-district to a“livability district.”

The Pacific Beach PlanningGroup meets the fourth Wednes-day of each month at 6:30 p.m. atthe Pacific Beach/Taylor BranchLibrary at 4275 Cass St.

As a parent of a Mission BayHigh 2014 graduating senior, I amlooking for help with our situation.We may be too late to the game onthis one, but I have to try every-thing.

I know that several Mission BayHigh parents may have exhaustedevery resource in trying to find alocation for the 2014 graduationother than a rival high school.Any place large enough to accom-modate such an event, like SanDiego State University or the Uni-versity of San Diego is booked.Other venues want $8,000 to$10,000 to rent the location,chairs, etc.

Our kids and parents have sup-

ported the public schools in PacificBeach for 12 years. We have agreat graduating class of smart,hard-working kids. High schoolgraduation is one of the biggestmilestones in their lives that theywill remember forever. This year,Mission Bay High seniors will haveto hold their commencement cere-mony at a rival high school inClairemont.

We lobbied and waited for yearsto get a new and modern sportscomplex at Mission Bay. Thingswere delayed due to funds gettingreallocated to the new librarydowntown. Just recently, theyfinally broke ground at MissionBay for the new sports complex.

This is great news, unless you’re agraduating senior. Not only didthey not get to use the new sportscomplex while at MBHS, but nowthey have no location for gradua-tion.

If there is the will, there is a way,right? Everyone has vast social andprofessional networks these days.There has to be a benefactor or acompany with access to a locationor money to help. I am hoping thatthere might be something that wasoverlooked. Does anyone have sug-gestions?

How to save thousands when selling your homeLA JOLLA, When you decide to sell

your home, setting your asking priceis one of the most important decisionsyou will ever make. Depending on howa buyer is made aware of your home,price is often the first thing he or shesees, and many homes are discardedby prospective buyers as not being inthe appropriate price range.

Your asking price is often yourhome’s “first impression,” and if youwant to realize the most money youcan for your home, it’s imperative thatyou make a good first impression.

This is not as easy as it sounds, andpricing strategy should not be takenlightly. Pricing too high can be as cost-ly to a homeseller as pricing too low. A

“That is the problem, those operat-ing conditions can be changed,” saidBeckett. “First, it’s wanting toexpand, then selling pitchers andthey become de-facto bars, and it justgoes on and on.”

Beckett said what Pacific Beachwould like to do is get local controlover how liquor licenses are grantedand maintained.

“ABC has told us that if we wantedto do that, we would need to get acity permitting process,” she said.“So, Denny’s could get a license andwe [PB] would be sure it would bekept as a restaurant.”

Being a beach community, Beckettsaid there have always been a signif-icant number of establishments with

liquor licenses. But she said enforce-ment problems like alcohol-relatedassaults wasn’t as much of a prob-lem until the late 1980s or ’90s.

“Places used to close at 10 or 11p.m. and they served beer and wine,but they were restaurants,” she said.“Over the last 20 years, more of ourrestaurants have functioned like barsas ABC regulations don’t prohibit it.You get a situation where you havebad business operators making lots ofmoney, which in turn pressures goodbusiness operators to turn into badones to compete.

“It’s the bad business operatorssupporting drinking games, andreverse happy hours where drinksget cheaper later into the eveningswhich promotes overconsumption,that is what causes the (alcohol-related) problems,” she said.

Manos agreed that changes need

to be made with the ABC and controlof alcohol policy in the interest ofpromoting fairness for all concerned.

“Why penalize us for the sins ofothers?” Manos asked. “It’s a miscar-riage of justice. We were going to stopserving alcohol at 9 p.m., weren’tgoing to have live entertainment orpatron dancing, no pitchers or draftbeer. We just wanted a beer and winelicense to sell more food, to capturerepeat business for people who want-ed to have a beer or a glass of winewith their meal. They (government)need to level the playing field.”

Some Pacific Beach residents arecalling on San Diego city leaders toexamine how other cities haveaddressed alcohol licensing and touse the city’s land-use powers to reg-ulate businesses that serve alcohol.

Transient gets 5 years in stabbing, threat made to officer

A transient who stabbed anotherman with broken scissors and laterthreatened a police officer beforebeing shot by the officer was sen-tenced Feb. 18 to five years in stateprison.

Probation was denied for PaulAaron Brinkman, 38, by San DiegoSuperior Court Judge Fred Maguire,who gave Brinkman credit forspending 301 days in jail, alongwith time off for good behaviorsince the Sept. 21 incident.Brinkman was fined $1,694.

Brinkman, who has a long recordof mostly minor crimes, is a habitu-al user of marijuana and metham-phetamine, according to his proba-tion report. He pleaded guilty tocommitting two felony assaults. Athird incident in which he wavedthe scissors in the air to anotherperson was dismissed.

The first incident occurredaround 5 a.m. in the 100 block ofGarnet Avenue in an alley, duringwhich a man was stabbed in thearm. The victim said Brinkmancomplained the stabbing victim wastalking too loud.

The next incident took place at3:43 p.m., as a bar manager waswalking down the 1200 block ofGarnet Avenue. He said Brinkmanlunged at him with the scissors forno apparent reason. The victimavoided being stabbed and a policeofficer was flagged down.

The officer saw Brinkman at

Dawes Street and Garnet Avenueand ordered him repeatedly to dropthe scissors. Brinkman reportedlyrefused and kept walking closer tothe officer with the scissors untilthe officer fired one shot, hittingBrinkman in the lower abdomen.

Maguire sentenced Brinkman tothree years for the first stabbing andthen gave him another year forthreatening the officer with thescissors. Maguire added one moreyear because Brinkman had afelony conviction of battery on apolice officer in 2003.

Mission Bay Automotive buys building for relocation

Mission Bay Automotive has purchasedthe 5,247-square-foot industrial buildingat 1735 Morena Blvd. in the Bay Park areaof San Diego for $1.28 million. The build-ing, previously occupied by Bear Fence Co.,

will be the new service location for MissionBay Automotive. Cassidy Turley represent-ed the seller while Ocwen Loan ServicingLLC. Cushman & Wakefield representedthe buyer.

Mission Bay Automotive is relocatingfrom the 4,000-square-foot building itpresently occupies at 1125 Morena Blvd.to accommodate its growing business.

Owner Troy Archer said the company isworking on tenant improvements withplans to open its new location in earlysummer.

areas. They will largely be prohibited however,except for special events, in low-density neigh-borhoods and in the restaurant-dense GaslampQuarter and Little Italy.

Food trucks will also be allowed only by spe-cial permit on streets in parking overlay zonesnear the beachfront and close to universities.

New rules also prohibit truck operators fromhaving amplified music or fselling alcohol, andto police themselves by collecting litter withina 25-foot radius before moving on.

Trucks will be precluded from impairingpedestrian or vehicular traffic. They also will beallowed on private property with a permit cost-ing between $491 and $931.Trucks must alsohave a city phone number posted on them soviolations of operating conditions can bereported.

“If you read the ordinance, only 5 percent of the city will not be open to foodtrucks, and even in those areas they will be

allowed by special-event permit,” said District3 Councilman Todd Gloria, who noted thatpresently “laws do not allow for food truckson private property.”

“We’re trying to change that,” said Gloriaabout existing truck regulations adding,“These rules are fair.”

Noting there’s room for “both brick-and-mortar and mobile food trucks to be success-ful,” District 6 Councilmember Lori Zapfexpressed concern about truck operationsimpacting residents. She made the successfulmotion that trucks be required to be at least300 feet from dwellings.

Public testimony largely was in favor of pro-posed amendments to the city’s municipalcodes and the need to clarify food truck oper-ating conditions.

A couple of downtown food-cart operatorscomplained that new regulations were givingmobile truck operators an unfair competitiveadvantage, and that the cost for permits on pri-vate property was excessive.

Denny Knox, executive director of the OceanBeach MainStreet Association, a business

improvement district (BID) representing therestaurant-rich Ocean Beach community, saidshe was confused about the new truck ordi-nance and uncertain of its consequences.

“There are so many parts to this, I don’t knowwhether to support it or be opposed,” testifiedKnox. “We’re worried about the eco-nomic impacts to parts of the city, likeours, where 40-some percent ofemployees work in restaurants.”

Another Obecean, Dave Martin, pres-ident of Ocean Beach Town Council,said the “parking impact overlay zoneprotects us.” Martin said beach residentsjust want to make sure that “we’re on afair playing field” with the new truckregulations

After the March 3 hearing, ChrisOlson, a Pacific Beach Planning Groupmember, said food trucks provide a com-munity service.

“I love the food trucks at the SaturdaySeaside Farmers Market at Mission BayHigh School,” Olson said. “This is a“win, win, win. They do not impact

local restaurants, a portion of the proceeds go toour local schools and I get a great Saturdaylunch during my bay-loop bike ride.”

The City Council also voted to review thechanges to the ordinance in one year to assesstheir impacts and effectiveness.

The Unified Port District of SanDiego has successfully switched onits new shore-power system at theTenth Avenue Marine Terminal,designed to improve air quality andreduce greenhouse gas emissions byallowing cargo vessels to “plug in,”

rather than run their diesel engineswhile in port.

Construction on the $4.25 millionproject began in mid-2013 and wasfunded by the Port’s capital improve-ment program.

The contractor was NEWest Con-

struction in San Diego. On Feb. 24, aribbon-cutting ceremony was heldat the Tenth Avenue Marine Termi-nal, celebrating the completion ofthe Port of San Diego’s shore-powerproject.

“The Port District is proud to be aleader in environmental issues andcontinues to be a great steward ofSan Diego Bay,” said Bob Nelson,chairman of the Board of Port Com-missioners. “By offering shore power,we not only improve air quality forcommunities nearby, but we alsoreduce our impact on the planet.”

According to Port District officials,the installation of shore power hasmany substantial environmentalbenefits:

• Reducing greenhouse gas emis-

sions by more than 50 percent (morethan 2,000 metric tons) per year.That’s equivalent to greenhouse gasemissions from about 1,500 cars peryear;

• Reducing emissions of nitrogenoxides (NOx; an air pollutant) byabout 95 percent, or 70 tons peryear. That’s equivalent to NOx emis-sions from over 4,000 cars per year.

Joining Nelson during the dedica-tion ceremony were various otherspeakers, including U.S. Congress-man Scott Peters, city of San Diegointerim mayor Todd Gloria, DoleCompany vice President StuartJablon and Diane Takvorian, execu-tive director of the EnvironmentalHealth Coalition.

The new shore power system willallow refrigerated cargo ships —including those from Dole FreshFruit — to “plug in” and use electri-cal power from SDG&E instead ofrelying on diesel-fuel engines whileat berth.

The project fulfills a mandate setforth by the California Air ResourcesBoard requiring California ports andterminals to provide shore power tocontainer, passenger and refrigerat-ed-cargo ships.

The Port of San Diego is alreadyequipped to provide shore power tocruise ships that berth at both its BStreet Pier Cruise Ship Terminal andBroadway Pier.

HAULING

SeaWorld San Diego is nearingcompletion of its massive 16-monthproject that is completely transform-ing the marine park’s arrival experi-ence into a world beneath the waves.The creation of Explorer’s Reef, amulti-million dollar renovationeffort, will not only make enteringthe park faster and more efficient,but will significantly enhance theguest experience by immediatelyimmersing them in an undersearealm. Explorer’s Reef is openingthis month in conjunction with Sea-World’s 50th Celebration.

“At SeaWorld San Diego, we’rereinventing the arrival experience ofa theme park with Explorer’s Reef,”said Brian Morrow, SeaWorld’s cre-ative director. “Guests will have anew way of approaching the park,entering the park, and exploring thepark right off the bat.”

The new concept will replace theexisting ticket booths with a beach-themed, concierge-style ticketingarea that will provide guests with asingle location to purchase admis-sion, sign up for tours, animal inter-actions and dining experiences. Alsoeliminated will be the glass windowbetween the guests and park’s tick-eting service representatives, creat-ing a more open and personal expe-rience.

“Explorer’s Reef will transformour guests’ arrival by providing

them with unparalleled welcomingservices and then transporting theminto the world of the sea as they passunder an iconic and stunningwave,” said John Reilly, SeaWorld’spark president. “The promise of Sea-World will be delivered immediately,giving our guests opportunities toconnect with amazing animals assoon as they enter the park.”

Guests will enter the park beneathan immense wave sculpture, nearly30 feet tall and 100 feet long, givingthem the impression of actuallyentering an underwater world.

“The wave portal came to us as avery simple idea of going to thebeach, wading into the shallows anddiving into the water,” said Morrow.“We’ve all wondered what thatwould look like, and that’s whatwe’re creating with this new arrivalexperience.”

Once inside the park, the tropicalcoral-theme design of the new ani-mal attractions, buildings and shadestructures will give guests the feelingof walking on the bottom of theocean. It is in this undersea oasisthat visitors will also have their firstchance to interact with a variety offish in four different touch pools.

Both saltwater and freshwater, the24,000-gallon touch pools willallow guests to connect with sea lifein an intimate way. Four hundredbrown-banded and white-spotted

bamboo sharks, as well as morethan 4,000 cleaner fish will high-light the interaction experience. Thenumber of fish in the touch poolswill total nearly 5,000.

“The animal experiences will be

fantastic at Explorer’s Reef,” saidMorrow. “Guests will be able interactwith incredible sea creatures,including sharks, rays, skates, horse-shoe crabs, and the delicate littlecleaner fish will nibble at your handswhen you put them in the water.”

Explorer’s Reef, which will encom-pass more than three acres at thefront of the park, will also includenew and innovative retail and culi-nary opportunities for guests.
