Council approves Titanic Ceviche Loco with beer‑and‑wine limitation and event permitting

Jurupa Valley’s City Council approved a conditional‑use permit on March 19 to allow Titanic Ceviche Loco, a seafood restaurant proposed for 5667 Mission Boulevard, to sell and serve alcohol on the premises subject to several conditions.

Staff Senior Planner Renee Aguilar summarized the project and the Planning Commission’s earlier findings, noting the proposal would not expand the building footprint and would include exterior improvements such as new sidewalks and landscaping. Aguilar said the site is exempt from on‑site parking requirements under the Rubedo Village policy area because the lot is under 7,500 square feet.

The applicant, represented by Marco Robles, described Titanic Ceviche as a family‑oriented mariscos restaurant that already operates two nearby locations and said alcohol sales would be ancillary to the food service. Robles and a business representative told council the owners are willing to accept conditions such as limiting alcohol to beer and wine and reducing the number of live‑music allowances.

Council members pressed the applicant on several points: the site’s small parcel size and limited parking, the restaurant’s interior layout and prominent bar area, the potential impacts of live music on nearby residents, and the timing and enforcement of required tenant improvements.

Council resolved those concerns by approving the permit with conditions that include: limiting on‑site alcohol to beer and wine (removal of distilled spirits), requiring specified exterior tenant improvements prior to certificate of occupancy (including opening certain windows and painting/aesthetic work), establishing an 11:00 p.m. closing time, requiring security measures on busy nights, and permitting live music only through a special‑event permitting process so dates and conditions can be tracked and enforced.

The council noted that special‑event permits would still be subject to the city’s noise and public‑safety rules and do not extend business hours beyond the standard closing time.

What happens next: the applicant must complete the stated tenant improvements and comply with the permit conditions before receiving occupancy; any future live‑music dates must be filed under the city’s special‑event permit procedures.
