ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS/FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF A CUB OR CUX: 1. RADIUS MAP REQUIREMENTS. See attached 500 /600 radius map package See the last page of this format for a list of alcohol establishments between the subject premises to 1,000 feet of the site. 2. FINDINGS a. General Conditional Use i. That the project will enhance the built environment in the surrounding neighborhood or will perform a function or provide a service that is essential or beneficial to the community, city, or region. The proposed use will provide a unique service that should prove beneficial to the community in that it will operate from 11am until 2am daily, which will activate the corner location with a viable business. To keep the area vital and improving, it is necessary that all corners of the intersection be occupied by successful business operators so that there is a sufficient amount of pedestrian traffic and eyes on the street in the area so as to deter criminal elements. One of the factors necessary to ensure the long- term success of the proposed bar (with food service) is the availability of an alcoholic beverage service to enable the business operator to compete effectively with other restaurant and bars that operate in the Downtown area. The applicant is aware of the liquor license privilege and will actively work with neighbors to keep the area clean and safe. This is the type of business operation that is needed to reinvigorate and improve the area. Until the past eight years or so, this part of downtown has suffered from economic and social depression over the past 6-7 decades.

Over the past eight years, bars and restaurants have led the way towards an urban renewal and gentrification to create the type of environment that is conducive to a residential population. ii. That the project s location, size, height, operations and other significant features will be compatible with and will not adversely affect or further degrade adjacent properties, the surrounding neighborhood, or the public health, welfare, and safety. The subject property is located in the urban, high- density area of the Historic District of Downtown Los Angeles and the area is developed with multi- storied commercial/office buildings and residential lofts, many of which contain restaurant/bars on the ground floor in the C5-4D and C2-2D zones. Many of the commercial/office buildings have been adaptively re- used for residential uses coinciding with the renaissance of the Downtown area. The location appears to be appropriate for a bar/restaurant use. The subject site is within a long- established commercial district in Downtown Los Angeles which is commercially designated and zoned, and is surrounded on all sides by other properties similarly designated and zoned for these types of uses. Therefore, it is unlikely that the proposed use would adversely affect or further degrade adjacent properties, the surrounding neighborhood or the public health, welfare and safety. To the contrary, this bar with limited entertainment will be a unique business adding to the attractiveness of downtown. iii. That the project substantially conforms with the purpose, intent and provisions of the General Plan, the applicable community plan, and any applicable specific plan. The Central City Community Plan Map designates the subject property for Community Commercial land use with its corresponding zone of C2 and Height District No. 2D. The property is not currently within the area of any specific plans or interim control ordinances. The proposed use appears to be consistent with a number of the Plan s objectives and policies for commercial land use, including the following: Objective 2-1: Objective 2-3: Objective 2-4: Objective 2-4.1: To improve Central City s competitiveness as a location for offices, business, retail and industry. To promote land uses in Central City that will address the needs of all the visitors to Downtown for business, conventions, trade shows and tourism. To encourage a mix of uses which create an active, 24- hour downtown environment for current residents and which would also foster increased tourism. Promote night life activity by encouraging restaurants, pubs, nightclubs, small theaters and other specialty uses to reinforce existing pockets of activity. b. Additional Findings i. Explain how the proposed use will not adversely affect the welfare of the pertinent community. Granting of the conditional use permit at this location should not adversely affect the economic welfare of the community because the project will introduce a unique bar/restaurant theme to the downtown vicinity, that

being a bar/restaurant owned, and operated by a Gay owned enterprise. There currently exists a lack og hospitality establishments in the immediate area where a gay clientele feels not only comfortable, but welcomed and catered to. In this location this bar will promote economic vitality through a nighttime entertainment use without disturbing the residential neighborhood. Such nighttime venues add to the safety of the pedestrian traffic while providing opportunities for economic activity during non- peak hours. This will add to the economic base of the community through the exchange of goods and services with other nearby commercial activity, create and maintain employment opportunity and generate tax revenue to various municipalities. ii. Explain how the approval of the application will not result in or contribute to an undue concentration of such establishments. The main reason the number of licenses in this census tract is significantly higher than the residential population based allocation is its location in Downtown Los Angeles, which serves as a major business and entertainment destination for the entire region, yet still has a relatively low residential population when compared to other neighborhoods. In addition to the residents, the area also has a large number of workers and visitors that require food and beverage sales. Over concentration can be undue when the addition of a license will negatively impact a neighborhood. Over concentration is not undue when the approval of a license does not adversely affect an area, but rather such licensed beverage establishments benefit the public welfare and convenience. Although the census tract is numerically over concentrated, the request will not adversely affect community welfare because the proposed use is a desirable use in the Downtown area which has undergone a major revitalization. An approval of the request will not contribute to an undue concentration because the Downtown area where the restaurant will be located is a center of intense commercial activities offering a variety of opportunities for dining and entertainment. It is a goal of the City to promote an active 24- hour environment in the Downtown area. The sale of alcoholic beverages is considered to be a facilitating element towards achieving this goal. The existing development and uses in the surrounding area does not favor concentration of one particular type of dining fare, but offers a variety of menus with various levels of service including live entertainment. This bar will be oriented towards a Gay clientele and there are no bars in downtown serving that population. The operation of the proposed bar/restaurant and the service of alcoholic beverages will blend well with the currently established straight bars/restaurants. iii. Explain how the approval of the application will not detrimentally affect nearby residential zones or uses. With a floor area of 1,878 square- feet and a maximum seating capacity for 62 patrons, the proposed restaurant/bar will be a small scale operation. It s location at the corner of the commercial building will isolate the tenant space from the lobby area which leads to 140 live/work units above the commercial ground floor uses. 3. QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE a. What is the total square footage of the building or center the establishment is located in? The total square footage of the commercial/residential building is 180,950 b. What is the total square footage of the space the establishment will occupy?

The total square footage of the subject premises is 2,720 square- feet of which 1,878 square- feet will contain the bar/restaurantand the remaining 842 square- feet will consist of a storage room in the basement level where there is no patron access. c. What is the total occupancy load of the space as determined by the Fire Department? Occupancy Load = To be determined by the Department of Building and Safety and the Fire Department. d. What is the total number of seats that will be provided indoors? Outdoors? Indoor Seating Capacity = 62 e. If there is an outdoor area, will there be an option to consume alcohol outdoors? There is no outdoor dining area. N/A N/A f. If there is an outdoor area, is it on private property or the public right- of- way, or both? i. If an outdoor area is on the public right- of- way, has a revocable permit been obtained? g. Are you adding floor area? If yes, how much is enclosed? Outdoors? This request does not involve additional floor area. h. Parking i. How many parking spaces are available on the site? There are 21 surface parking spaces and additional spaces within a covered parking structure to serve the commercial uses as well as the 140 live/work units on the site. The project is located within the Central City Parking Area, the Downtown Parking Area and the Los Angeles State Enterprise Zone; and as such, the applicant is not required to provide on- site parking. However, several parking lots are located within walking distance to the subject site for patrons wanting to travel by automobile. ii. Are they shared or designated for the subject use? The parking spaces are shared among the tenants. iii. If you are adding floor area, what is the parking requirement as determined by the Department of Building & Safety?

This request does not involve additional floor area and the restaurant will require no parking spaces due to its location in the Downtown Business District and within the boundary of the Los Angeles State Enterprise Zone. iv. Have any arrangements been made to provide parking off- site? Arrangements have not been made to provide parking off- site. No N/A 1.
