Helping Businesses with Conditional Use Permit Issues
In California, certain types of businesses, such as adult entertainment, sports bars, restaurants, night clubs, medical clinics and day care centers, face significant governmental oversight and are often allowed to operate only after agreeing to certain conditions. Often, the conditions demanded can make it difficult to establish the commercial enterprise. In other situations, alleged violation of conditions can lead to governmental attempts to revoke the business's use permit. If you seek to obtain or keep a conditional use permit for one of these businesses, you want an experienced and aggressive attorney to protect your interests.

A conditional use permit generally allows the owner of property to operate a permitted business conditioned on compliance with specific demands from the municipality. Customarily, these conditions address issues such as
- Parking
- Location of entrance and exit doors
- The distance sound may be heard from the property
- Lighting on the property
- Absence of litter from the property
Applying for a Conditional Use Permit
If you are applying for a conditional use permit, attorney Talmo will work with you to prepare for the hearing, interviewing and preparing witnesses and helping you be ready for any questions or concerns the municipality may have. He will then appear on your behalf at the hearing in front of the planning commission. If your application is denied, he will handle all necessary appeals.
Protecting Your Conditional Use Permit
A municipality may seek to revoke your conditional permit for a variety of reasons, including
- Alleged breach of the conditions of the permit
- Shootings or other violence on or near your property
- Drunk driving arrests of people leaving or frequenting your establishment
In some instances, the municipality may try to impose additional conditions, once you have opened your business.
Attorney Talmo will aggressively protect your interests in all proceedings to appeal the attempted revocation of your conditional use permit, from the administrative agency decision to superior court, if necessary.
