Chronic Cantina may lose permit

The Chronic Cantina sports bar may have a lot to prove to city officials in order stay in business.

The Upland Planning Commission last week approved a resolution to revoke the business' conditional use permit, which will force them to close their doors.

"The Planning Commission has overstepped their regulatory authority and determined that they don't like the business and they are using their authority to try and shut the business down," said Keith Scheinberg, CEO of Chronic Cantina. "Whether they like it or not is not how city government works."

There have been over 70 police service calls since the bar opened in January 2008 resulting in over 25 people being arrested, according to the commission report.

The activities include two attempted murders, two carjackings, three felonious assaults, 14 other types of assaults, one discharging a firearm, four auto thefts, four vehicle burglaries, five thefts, three driving under the influence, five public intoxications and 33 disturbances.
