Colton Development Services Director Heidi Duron provided background on the long-standing issue. "The subject property, located at the northwest corner of Interstate 215 and Iowa Avenue, has been an adult nightclub for many years. The 1998 consent decree required the owner to transition the use by January 31, 2009. However, the City revised its adult business regulations in 2016 and pursued enforcement in 2018, leading to the current agreement."

The original agreement, known as the "Public Benefit, Digital Billboard and Expired
Land Use Settlement Agreement," required the owner to convert 215 GC into a service station and mini-mart, remove the existing pole sign, and construct a digital billboard. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted this timeline, leading to significant delays. "Although the agreement contained specific timelines, the pandemic caused supply chain issues that hindered compliance," said Duron. "As the situation eased, the Council directed staff and the City Attorney to amend the agreement, moving up the closure of the adult nightclub, which has been verified closed since at least May 2024." The newly approved amendments include key changes: The owner is given two years to evaluate billboard market conditions before construction. Rights to the billboard construction can now be transferred to a third party, not just family members. The adult club is permanently closed and cannot reopen. Gentlemen’s Club, cont. on next pg.
