When Santa Ana’s gay bar, Velvet Lounge, was granted a C.U.P. (Conditional Use Permit) by the City of Santa Ana’s Planning Agency, they got most of what they asked for – except that they were forbidden from engaging in “adult entertainment.” Well, judging from the pictures on their website, it looks like they might be violating their C.U.P. – regularly. Take a look for yourself – the pictures below tell the story better than I can:
Imagine how quickly the Santa Ana Planning Agency would shut down a Mexican restaurant engaging in these activities in violation of their C.U.P.s?
Another question comes to mind – is Barney Frank style male prostitution happening at the Velvet Lounge?
And we also found a video on YouTube that openly promotes marijuana smoking – at Santa Ana’s Yost Theater. I am all for legalizing marijuana, as it is proven that the drug war serves only to enrich drug lords, but marijuana is still illegal – and after watching this video I have to wonder how much pot is being smoked at the Yost?
Here is the video:

i know that, which proves my point. you were not there so you don't know what your talking about regarding yours and the city's accusations. there are many sides to a story. you passed judgement without being there when these photos were taken so you don't know what was actually going on in that bar. there just photos
I see. Well that's for the planning agency, code enforcement and the SAPD to decide. It's in their hands now.
exactly, it's in there hands not yours, so you should not have stuck your nose in where it dose not belong. all you have done is pushed buttons and possibly caused the loss of a lot of jobs. you have embarrassed yourself and the SA community with your negativity. it's very sad when an adult has nothing better to do than tear something apart without thinking of what will happen to others. i wonder what skeletons are in your closet? in other words he who is without sin cast the first stone.
This has nothing to do with moral turpitude. This is about violating city code. The Velvet Lounge should be more careful about what pictures they post - particularly now that the Planning Agency and Code Enforcement are keeping an eye on them.
There has been a double standard here in town for too long. Latino businesses get rousted while these others get away with whatever they want. We are making sure that doesn't happen anymore. All our businesses should be treated the same way and they should all be expected to follow the terms of their Conditional Use Permits.
"All our businesses should be treated the same way and they should all be expected to follow the terms of their Conditional Use Permits"....... Amen!
