The assembly and entertainment functions of the Center became nonconforming in 1978, when the subject property was rezoned to the RM‐4 District, which does not permit such activities. The proposal is to continue the operation of the nonconforming entertainment and assembly uses, as well as the existing food and beverage service uses, which are conditionally permitted within the Nob Hill Special Use District. No enlargement or intensification of the existing nonconforming use, and no change to the physical configuration of the Center is proposed as part of the request for Conditional Use authorization. The maximum capacity of the auditorium would remain at 3,282 persons. SITE DESCRIPTION AND PRESENT USE The Project Site is located on the south side of California Street between Jones and Taylor Streets, Block 0253, Lot 020. The subject property is located within the RM‐4 (Residential Mixed, High Density) District, the 65‐A Height and Bulk District, and the Nob Hill Special Use District.
