BASIS FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS

A particular type of development is subject to the conditional use process because it hasbeen determined that such use of property .should not be permitted by right in a particularzone. All uses requiring a conditional use permit from the Zoning Administrator are locatedwithin Section 12.24-W of the Los Angeles Municipal Code. In order for the sale of a fullline of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption to be authorized, certain designatedfindings have to be made. In these cases, there are additional findings in lieu of the fourstandard findings for most other conditional use categories.

FINDINGS

Following (highlighted) is a delineation of the findings and the application of the relevantfacts to same:

1. The proposed location will be desirable to the public convenience or welfareand the location is proper in relation to adjacent uses or the development ofthe community.

The subject project entails a request to sell a full line of alcoholic beverages in anexisting bar which currently has a license to sell beer and wine. The facility hasbeen a bar dating back to 1950, according to the applicant. At the public hearing,the applicant noted that for some time the bar had a poor image and had been alocation where B-girls were employed. The former bar was authorized to sell a fullline of alcohol but at some point in 1980, the alcohol license was downgraded tobeer and wine only. In 2004, the prior bar tenant lost the lease. The currentapplicant took over in 2005. The request to upgrade to a full line triggers therequirement for a conditional use permit.

As noted, the applicant acquired the business in 2005 and has made renovations tothe premises. In 2008, the applicant also took over an adjacent retail space andconverted it into a coffee shop that caters to the neighborhood. The applicant notesthat the bar is also neiqhborhood-orlented and that most clients walk to the location.The applicant's goal is for the bar to be regarded as a neighborhood-congregatingestablishment Patrons of the establishment have menus made available whichoffer various food options from local restaurants which allow bar patrons to orderand have the food delivered to the bar. The request does not involve an expansionof the premises nor any entertainment or live music. Seating is limited to 50 seats.

Correspondence from the Mid City West Community Council was received notingsupport for the request. The letter notes that the location is across from a recently

I. .

CASE NO. ZA 201u..:022b\~UB) PAGE 13

approved large mixed-use project at Wilshire Boulevard and La Brea Avenue,adding that a " ... small neighborhood bar at this location is not inappropriate". Theletter notes that the Council believes in supporting existing businesses whoseviability will be improved from said request. At the hearing, two neighbors alsotestified in support of the request and emphasized the value in being able to walk tothis location. Correspondence was also received from the Los Angeles PoliceDepartment recommending conditions if the request was approved but not taking aposition on the request. No other communication regarding the request wasreceived,

As proposed, the request does not represent the introduction of a new use. The barwill continue to serve a public convenience and welfare and as sited, the locationremains compatible with the character of the surrounding uses. The property,according to testimony, has been the site of a bar for approximately 60 years, Theproposed use, in conjunction with the imposition of a number of conditionsaddressing operational and alcohol-related issues will safeguard public welfare andenhance public convenience.

2. The use will not be materially detrimental to the character of the developmentin the immediate neighborhood.

The grant authorized herein incorporates a number of conditions which have beenimposed upon the use, some of which are based on conditions which have beenvolunteered by the applicant and others suggested by tile Police Department. Theapplicant indicated that he is proposing installing a camera surveillance system,which has been conditioned also in this grant Alcohol-sales training for staff by thePolice Department is also required. These and other conditions will continue tomake the use more compatible with other uses in the surrounding community.

The subject g rant for the sale of a full line of alcoholic beverages is authorized for aterm of eight years after which time the applicant will have to seek authorization tocontinue such sales on the premises, This allows the City an opportunity to reviewthe operation of the facility anew. if the operation has been conducted appropriatelyand without creating problems, then a subsequent decision on the continuation ofsuch sales may take that into favorable consideration. A record of poor complianceand/or nuisance complaints would allow the City the discretion to not permit thecontinuation of the sales of a full line of alcohol and thus avoid the need to proceedwith prolonged nuisance abatement proceedings. Additionally, as the term grant isfor a longer period than usually is granted, a condition has been included whichrequires a review if the business is taken over by a new owner or operator to insurethat the mode and character of the operation remains compatible and consistentwith this grant. Thus, as conditioned, the use is not anticipated to be materiallydetrimental to the development of the immediate neighborhood,

3. The proposed location will be in harmony with the various elements andobjectives of the General Plan.

The Wilshire Community Plan Map designates the property for C2 "GeneralCommercial" land uses with a corresponding zone of C2 and HeigHt District No.1.

CASE NO. ZA 20u..;022b\0UB) PAGE 14

The Wilshire Community Plan Map designates the property for C2 "GeneralCommercial" land uses with a corresponding zone of C2 and Height District No. 'It

The subject property is planned and zoned for commercial uses. The conditionalauthorization for the sale of alcoholic beverages on-site, is allowed through theapproval of the Zoning Administrator subject to certain findings. The requiredfindings in support have been made herein.

4. The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic welfare of thecommunity or result in an undue concentration of premises for the sale ofalcoholic beverages after given consideration to the State laws and to theCalifornia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control's guidelines for undueconcentration and giving consideration to crime rates in the area.

According to the California State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Controllicensing criteria, five on-site and four off-site licenses are allocated to Census TractNo. 2151.00, which has a population of 5,630. There are currently 12 on-site andfour off-Site licenses in this census tract. Located within 600 feet of the subjectproperty, there are seven on-site and zero off-site licenses existing. These figuressuggest that there is an undue concentration of on-site alcohol sales establishmentsin the area. It should be noted that according to ABC records, there have been nodisciplinary actions regarding this particular establishment.

The subject location is within an area of concentrated commercial development.However, the request will not result in the addition of a new license but rather theconversion of an existing license to another type of license.

Statistics from the Los Angeles Police Department's Wilshire Division Vice Unitreveal that in Crime Reporting District No. 735, which has jurisdiction over thesubject property, a total of 193 crimes were reported in 2008, compared to thecitywide average of 235 crimes and the high crime reporting district average of 282crimes for the same period. The above figures indicate that the project proposal isnot located within a high crime reporting district. Of these crimes, there were a totalof 3 arrests for "Public Drunkenness" and 8 arrests for "Driving While Intoxicated"most recently in 2008. These numbers do not reflect the total number of arrests inthe subject reporting district of the accountable year. Arrests for each calendar yearmay reflect crimes reported in previous years.

The crime rate numbers are lower than those rates identified for the City.Nonetheless, a number of conditions, including a camera surveillance system, havebeen imposed which seek to mitigate any adverse impacts on the area, which whencoupled with a limited term grant will insure that any potential impacts are mitigated.

5. The use will not detrimentally affect the nearby resldentlally zonedcommunities in the area after giving consideration to the distance of theproposed use from residential uses, churches, schools, hospitats, publicplaygrounds and other similar uses and other establishments dispensing, forsale or other consideration, alcoholic beverages, including beer and wine,

CASE 1\10.ZA 20 v-022b\~UB) PAGE 15

There are residential uses in the vicinity of the site as well as other establishmentswhich sell alcohol. Since the site is located in a prime cornrnerclal area, the diversityand proximity amongst the uses is not uncommon. This grant has placed numerousconditions on the proposed project and not authorized uses of the property whichmight create potentia! nuisances for the surrounding area. Such imposition ofconditions, including an eiqht-year term grant on the approval regarding the sale ofalcohol, will make the use a more compatible and accountable neighbor to thesurrounding uses than would otherwise be the case.

ADDITIONAL MANDATORY FINDINGS

6. The National Flood Insurance Program rate maps, which are a part of the FloodHazard Management Specific Plan adopted by the City Council by Ordinance No.172,081, have been reviewed and it has been determined that this project is locatedin Zone C, areas of minimal flooding.

7. On October 13, 2009, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (ENV 2009-2229- MND)wasprepared for the proposed project. On the basis of the whole of the record beforethe lead agency including any comments received, the lead agency finds that withimposition of the mitigation measures described in the MND (and identified in thisdetermination), there is no substantial evidence that the proposed project will have asignificant effect on the environment. I hereby adopt that action. This MitigatedNegative Declaration reflects the lead agency's independent judgment and analysis.The records upon which this decision is based are with the Environmental ReviewSection of the Planning Department in Room 750, 200 North Spring Street.
