Road. He noted that the location will probably be another empty space causing <br />vacancy and blight. <br />Mr. Mull stated that they have already put in place many of the changes in the <br />conditions that staff has recommended. He added that, as a side note, they would like <br />to be able to serve until 1:30 a.m., which would still give them time to close down the <br />club in an orderly manner before 2:00 a.m. He noted that it is really not a night club if <br />everything turns off at 1:00 a.m. <br />Commissioner Blank inquired how the club controls the number of people who enter the <br />club and how they know when to cut off at 812. <br />Mr. Mull replied that they have a clicker. He added that as far as they know. they have <br />never come close to that 812 number; it has always been around 550. <br />Commissioner Blank noted that Mr. Mull mentioned that they use the most sophisticated <br />approach to maintaining security. He asked Mr. Mull to describe what this is and <br />inquired if every one of their security personnel is equipped with a two -way radio. <br />Mr. Mull replied that he believes they have about 16 two -way radios. <br />Commissioner Blank noted that the answer is then "no." <br />Mr. Mull clarified that the 16 radios for the rovers is a lot. He indicated that the required <br />number of security officers, even if all 800 patrons were there, would be 16. <br />Commissioner Blank noted that Mr. Mull had stated that the club had 29 security <br />personnel. <br />Mr. Mull stated that those last evenings, they had concerns so they brought in additional <br />security personnel. <br />Commissioner Blank inquired what training someone who wanted to be a security <br />officer would go through. <br />Mr. Mull replied that most of their security personnel have already been working at <br />another club in San Jose, so they have been trained by their already experienced <br />personnel. He added that there are tests that they have to then take with the State to <br />get a Guard Card. <br />Commissioner Blank requested clarification that there is a certification process that the <br />club requires. <br />Mr. Mull said that was correct. <br />Commissioner Blank inquired what that process is called. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, February 8, 2012 Page 8 of 23 <br />
