CORNER OFFICE BAR PROBLEMS

Live entertainment could be banned at the Corner Office Sports Bar

and Grill on Anton Boulevard, and it could close earlier, if the

commission decides it’s causing a public nuisance. The bar was given

a permit in January 2004 to allow dancing, karaoke and other live

entertainment, but since then Costa Mesa police have reported 45

service calls in about 13 months, mainly for complaints of crime.

Problems have not lessened, even after police tried to work with

the Corner Office’s operators and the city warned them their permit

could be revoked.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Staff members propose forbidding live entertainment and private

parties and changing the bar’s closing time from 1 a.m. to 11 p.m.

REZONING ON

MELODY LANE

Jon K. Jenkins, the property owner at 124 Melody Lane, wants to

rezone his parcel to allow future condominiums for sale. The current

zoning would allow up to two residential units that must have the

same owner, and the requested zoning would allow four units that

could be owned separately.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Staff members recommend the rezoning, because it would meet a city

goal of providing more home ownership opportunities.
