Electronics Inc (O) Legal Description: 830 Traction Ave Lot: 52-55 Los Angeles, CA 90013 Block: None Tract: Mills and Wicks Extension of Second St and FE Design & Consulting (R) Adjoining Subdivision 327 E. 2nd St. #222 Los Angeles, CA 90012

REQUEST

A Plan Approval to allow the continued sale of a full line of alcoholic beverages and continued patron dancing in conjunction with an existing 3,935 s.f. Hall and with 164 seats having hours of operation from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily, to remove conditions 22, 23b, 24, 40, and 46, and to modify condition 47 to allow patron entry and exit via a rear door from the alley.

BACKGROUND

The subject property is a level, rectangular-shaped, interior lot with a frontage of 50 feet on the west side of Flower Street and an even depth of 150 feet. A public alley adjoins the rear of the building. The property is developed with a four-story, 72-room hotel with a and a bar in the basement. ZA 2011 - 3072(CUB)(CUX), which was approved on June 21, 2012, granted the entitlements for the hotel, , and nightclub. Specifically, it granted:

Pursuant to Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 12.24-W,1:

1) a Conditional Use Permit, for the continued sale and dispensing of a full line of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption in an existing ground floor restaurant with a mezzanine and a reduced in size basement wine bar/banquet center and for in room access cabinets pursuant to a Department

1

of Alcoholic Beverage Control Type 66 license in conjunction with an existing 32,546 square-foot, 72 room full service hotel operating 24 hours per day, 7-days a week in the C2-4D Zone; and

2) a Conditional Use Permit for the sale and dispensing of a full line of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption in a 3,935 square-foot Hotel Lounge/nightclub located in the basement of the hotel, with an independent entrance from the existing banquet center, containing a maximum of 197 seats and hours of operation from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. daily with live and dancing.

Pursuant to Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 12.24-W,18(a):

1) a Conditional Use Permit for the continued operation of live entertainment and dancing, only incidental to a banquet, in the 3,864 square-foot basement wine bar/banquet center with 61 seats;

2) a Conditional Use Permit, for the continued operation of ancillary hotel amenities of an on-site health spa, having spa and massage treatment rooms, operating within a 1,755 square-foot area of the first floor;

3) a Conditional Use Permit for live entertainment and dancing in a 3,935 square-foot hotel lounge/nightclub located in the basement of the hotel.

That entitlement had a 5-year term limit, so it will be expiring in July of 2017. The subject application is to renew the entitlements for the basement nightclub, Honeycut, only. The three uses (hotel, wine bar, and nightclub) all operate as separate businesses. In addition, the city no longer allows multiple establishments to be on the same CUB. For this reason, this request is a PAB which will trigger a new case number and allow the business to have its own standalone document without being tied to the other uses.

“Honeycut” is from Cedd Moses and the 213 team, who are also behind nine other LA bars and restaurants. Moses was an important part of the renaissance of the historic core, and his establishments are known as well-run, reputable drinking places which maintain positive relationships with their neighbors and LAPD. In addition to renewing the entitlement, we are requesting a few small updates to the conditions of approval so that they can better reflect the operation of the business. The table below illustrates the proposed changes:

GENERAL CONDITIONAL USE FINDINGS

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 subject property was approved to sell alcoholic beverages in 2012 through ZA 2011-3072(CUB)(CUX). The subject establishment, “Honeycut”, a nightclub, opened in September of 2013. It has quickly become a popular destination for late-night entertainment. The nightclub has two different rooms, each with their own atmosphere. The “lounge” area has booth seating and a large bar. The dance area has a large light-up dance floor and regular DJs. The applicants are responsible business operators who own nine other downtown LA bars and restaurants, with several more in the process of being permitted and built out. The project is in the heart of downtown LA, within walking distance to many hotels, residents, businesses, and other late-night food and drinking establishments. The area has seen a renaissance in recent years as more young and affluent residents are moving into the area. A variety of entertainment and dining venues have established themselves in the area in order to be in close proximity to this prospective clientele. Hospitality venues are necessary for the development of a vibrant urban life and it follows that certain accommodations ought to be made in order to reinforce their attempts at remaining viable in the long run. One such accommodation is an approval for alcoholic beverages. The project therefore enhances the built environment by contributing to the overall community and by offering a desired service to the local community as well as the larger downtown LA area.

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.

7

The project is an existing nightclub within an existing hotel. This application is not proposing any expansion of the existing , or any changes that would alter the mode and character of the business. The applicants are established hospitality operators who own and operate nine other downtown bars and restaurant. Honeycut has a comprehensive security program which ensures that the establishment is compatible with the neighborhood and does not degrade the public health, welfare, or safety.

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.

There are eleven elements of the General Plan. Each of these Elements establishes policies that provide for the regulatory environment in managing the City and for addressing environmental concerns and problems. The majority of the policies derived from these Elements are in the form of Code Requirements of the Los Angeles Municipal Code. Except for those entitlements described herein, the project does not propose to deviate from any of the requirements of the Los Angeles Municipal Code.

The Land Use Element of the City's General Plan divides the city into 35 Community Plans. The Central City Community Plan designates the property Regional Center Commercial land uses, and the property is zoned C2-4D. The subject property is therefore planned and zoned for commercial uses. The proposed request for the continued sale of alcohol is consistent with the Community Plan, including Objective 2-4.1, “Promote night life activity by encouraging restaurants, , night clubs, small theaters, and other specialty uses to reinforce existing pockets of activity.” (Central City Community Plan, Page III-7).

The Community Plan further states that, “…the viability of Downtown Los Angeles will depend to a large extent on the continued economic growth and development of the city as a whole. In order to accomplish this, both the public and private sectors must establish a strategy that will create a positive business climate, attract private investment, create and retain jobs, and provide a safe and attractive environment for everyone” (Central City Community Plan, Page I-16). The Historic Core has changed over the past couple of decades due to the increase in residential activity during this time. Shoppers, diners, and evening revelers come to the area to shop, to eat, and to relax. The subject establishment will continue in this tradition and will pride itself on its ability to provide a nightlife option to its patrons.

ADDITIONAL FINDINGS

i. Explain how the proposed use will not adversely affect the welfare of the pertinent community.

The Historic Core depends upon projects like this in order to keep it viable in the long run as a center for business as well as to draw a steady flow of investment into the neighborhood. The Community Plan echoes this idea when it states that it “…can act to establish goals and policies which effect the physical environment making it more inviting for tourists, workers, shoppers, and business investment” (Central City Community Plan, Introduction, Economic Development, Page I-17).

8

The nightclub has been desirable to the public convenience and welfare as it is near both residential and commercial uses and is zoned for such. The establishment is at a convenient location on bustling Flower Street that area residents can reach by walking or public transit. As stated above, the subject location is situated in a diverse and important area of the community where people come to live, work, and play. This brings foot traffic and attention to the area which, in turn, results in a safer and desirable neighborhood.

ii. Explain how the approval of the application will not result in or contribute to an undue concentration of such establishments.

The site is currently licensed to sell alcohol and this request does not include any upgrade to the license privileges at the site. Therefore, this request will not have any impact on the concentration of alcohol licenses.

iii. Explain how the approval of the application will not detrimentally affect nearby residential zones or uses.

There has been a nightclub at the site since 2013, and there have not been any disciplinary actions by either the city or the state. This bustling section of downtown has many late-night establishments and this location is an important part of the downtown hospitality scene. Most area residents moved to downtown because they desire an amenity such as a nightclub. Therefore, this nightclub provides an amenity to these residents. The bar is run by established and reputable operators who do not cause any undue negative impacts on local residents.
