OVERVIEW CEQA, or the California Environmental Quality Act, is a statute that requires state and local agencies to identify the significant environmental impacts of their actions and to avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible. CEQA requires public agencies to conduct environmental review before making a determination on a project.

ATTACHMENT “B” REQUEST FOR DISCRETIONARY APPROVAL L.A.M.C. §12.24-W.1 900 S. Figueroa St.; 901 S. Flower St; 700 W. 9th St. Los Angeles CA 90015

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 Applicant believes that approval of its request for a Master Conditional Use Permit (“MCUP”) for up to 4 new restaurants at the ground floor corner of Figueroa, Flower, and 9th streets will enhance the ​ built environment in the surrounding neighborhood and will perform a function or provide a service that is essential or beneficial to the community, city, or region in a variety of different respects. The goal of the MCUP is twofold: to facilitate the establishment of restaurant uses at the ground floor of the mixed-use project, and to provide for cohesive review of multiple commercial uses within the same overall project. Both of these goals will be beneficial to the community on-site and in the surrounding area.

In terms of the specific request, the Applicant seeks approval of alcohol service of up to 4 restaurants spaces, two of which will be able to serve beer and wine service pursuant to a type 41 ABC license, and two of which will be approved in concept for a full line of alcoholic beverages pursuant to a type 47 ABC th license. One of the type 47s will be allocated to the large space located on the 9 S​ treet corner frontage ​ (space 3), and the second will be allocated to one of the two smaller spaces along Figueroa Street (as identified in the plans as spaces 1 or 2). One of the type 41s will be allocated to one of the smaller spaces along Figueroa Street (space 1 or 2); the other will be allocated to space 4, which is located on the corner of Flower and 9th Street, as this is the less high profile frontage. In addition, while space 4 is in the commercially zoned portion of the Site, it is on the same side of the project as the residentially zoned portion of the Site. Space 3 may host occasional live music, such as a three-piece jazz ensemble. All of the proposed uses will take place within 16,045 s.f. of interior ground floor retail space (14,986 s.f. existing plus a 1,059 s.f. mezzanine inside the large corner space referred to as “space 3”) and 1,874 s.f. of outdoor area (up to 532 seats inside and 96 outside) at the ground floor of the Applicant’s 28-story mixed-use project between the hours of 6 a.m. - 2 a.m. daily.

The Apex II tower is part of a larger Master Planned project that consists of two high-rise towers (Apex I and Apex II) and a 7 story podium building. The first phase was approved pursuant to case number ZA-2005-1673-ZV-ZAA-SPR and then modified in 2015 pursuant to DIR-2015-97-SPR. The first residential ​ tower known as Apex I, the majority of the shared parking for all three structures, and a portion of the commercial and ground floor were completed as the first phase. The second phase, including a second 28-story residential tower, a small amount of additional parking, and some of the ground floor commercial space, is currently under construction with an anticipated completion date at the end of November 2018. The Applicant characterizes the overall project as a modern luxury mixed use ​ 1 Master Conditional Use Permit Apex II

community, featuring two 28-story high rise buildings located on one of the most prominent and visible intersections in downtown Los Angeles. The site will provide four levels of underground parking and three levels of above ground parking.. All of the parking is allocated to residents and management at this time. Furthermore, the site has an approximately 4,200 s.f. rooftop amenity space which features sitting areas surrounded by lush landscapes and panoramic views of the city.

The Applicant would like to facilitate the activation of the commercial spaces at the ground floor of the overall project and believes that approval of the requested MCUP will help in that goal. The Applicant believes the MCUP project will enhance the built environment and perform a function that will benefit the community because present and future residents of the towers, as well as residents of other projects in the downtown core, select their homes in part because they appreciate the vitality and walkability of this area. In addition, there are a large number of visitors to the general area, including workers, tourists, residents of other projects, and a wide range of people who visit the downtown area to work, play, or conduct business. The Applicant believes this constituency will appreciate the anticipated restaurants. The long-term viability of restaurants often depends upon their ability to offer these items to their patrons. Such activities are a natural and vital extension of the restaurant use and will enhance the atmosphere and success of the venture as a whole. Because the availability of alcoholic beverages is often crucial to the decision to patronize a particular restaurant and is often an integral part of the success of a given venue, the request for a MCUP is important to the success of the overall concept. The positioning of the Apex II tower residential buildings on Figueroa and 9th Streets is designed to allow residents and neighbors to patronize the commercial uses on the ground floor of the mixed-use project. The project overall has been designed to ensure easy access from major thoroughfares.

The planned restaurant uses will add to the area, encourage foot traffic to the site and ensure that this very prominent intersection hosts attractive uses. One of the Applicant’s goals is to provide a lively, welcoming area where workers, residents, tourists, and other visitors to the area will be able to choose from a variety of appealing restaurant options and enjoy them in a pleasant and social environment. Patrons’ ability to enjoy beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverage products is a key factor in the Applicant’s goals for the site. Though the service of alcoholic beverages is a secondary amenity rather than the goal itself, the Applicant believes the ability to serve these items will be essential to the success of the restaurant tenants.

As of this writing, specific tenants have not yet been identified, though the Applicant is actively marketing the spaces to prospective tenants. The Applicant is seeking approval of this MCUP in order to ensure a cohesive and comprehensive approval process. The overall project will potentially consist of up to four restaurants within a 16,045 s.f. of interior ground floor retail space (14,986 s.f. existing plus a 1,059 s.f. mezzanine inside the large corner space) and 1,874 s.f. of outdoor area. There will be a total of 532 indoor seats and 96 exterior seats for patrons. Two of the uses will have the ability to offer beer and wine service (type 41) while the other two uses will offer full alcohol (type 47) service.

Furthermore, the Applicant is requesting the ability to allow one space to have live music for customers to enjoy. The requested hours of operation are from 6 a.m. - 2 a.m. daily with coterminous hours of alcohol sales.

2 Master Conditional Use Permit Apex II

Providing alcohol for on-site consumption allows onsite residents, and others who live or work in this part of Downtown LA to enjoy the convenience of proximate restaurants. MCUP Approval of the proposed project will lead to there being more dining choices for local workers, residents, and visitors alike. The site is in close proximity to mixed-use developments, multi-family residences, offices, retail, neighborhood services, entertainment venues, and a wide variety of commercial uses. The Applicant’s request is consistent with the effort to attract and draw more visitors and to provide an added amenity for the benefit of the residents of its high rise mixed-use development.

For the reasons stated above, the proposed MCUP will enhance the built environment in the surrounding neighborhood and will provide a service that is essential and beneficial to the community, city or region.

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 Applicant’s forthcoming Apex II project with the request for an MCUP will be compatible with the existing and future development of neighboring properties, and consistent with the City’s vision for the Central City Community Plan area. All the requested uses are to take place within four distinct spaces totaling approximately 16,045 s.f. at the ground floor of two 28-story high rise mixed use buildings. The overall project will consist of up to four restaurants within a 16,045 s.f. area (14,986 s.f. existing plus a potential 1,059 s.f. mezzanine inside space three) and 1,874 s.f. of outdoor area. There will be a total of 532 indoor seats and 96 exterior seats for patrons. Up to two of the uses will have the ability to offer beer and wine service (type 41) while the other two uses will offer full alcohol service (type 47 license).

The approximately 0.5 acre site is located at 900 S. Figueroa, 901 S. Flower, and 700 W 9th Street. It is bounded by Figueroa Street to the west, 9th Street to the north, and Flower Street to the east and is located in the South Park area of downtown Los Angeles. The overall site itself is an irregular shaped parcel of land comprised of three lots approximately 100,954 s.f. in total size and zoned [Q]R5-4D and C2-4D. 60,521 s.f. of the lot area is commercially zoned, while the remaining 40,433 s.f. lot area is zoned for high density residential. In 2005 through 2006, the prior owner of the project received approval for the development of 629 joint live/work condominium residential units and 27,000 s.f. of ground floor retail, for a total of 750,910 s.f on three lots, connected by a central six-story parking structure with a rooftop courtyard/terrace area. The Apex II tower, currently under construction, will consist of 341 apartment units, with a rooftop deck for amenities and 16,045 s.f. of ground-floor commercial space. Space three, located along 9th street will have a mezzanine area 1,059 s.f. in size. In addition, pursuant to DIR-2016-2297-SPPA-SPP, the Site has received approval of a 6,500 s.f. high resolution LED digital th th display sign which is located on the exterior of the Apex II tower, from the 6 -​ 17 floors and has a total ​ ​ area of 7,008 s.f.

The Site further provides physical and visual linkages to nearby open and public spaces in Downtown, such as L.A. Live, the Los Angeles Convention Center and Grand Hope Park. This area of downtown Los Angeles is undergoing drastic changes and improvements as a whole. The site is about 0.5 miles away

3 Master Conditional Use Permit Apex II

from the Staples Center and L.A. Live which can be characterized as a fun and lively destination for entertainment and dining.

In terms of the within request, the sale of alcohol within on-site restaurants has become necessary in order to compete with other restaurants for patrons who prefer an alcoholic beverage with their meals. The sale of alcohol contributes to the financial success of restaurants overall—often not because of the sale of these items per se but in large part because patrons view the availability of these items as a desired feature when selecting from myriad dining options. Successful restaurants in the area are increasingly contributing to the overall appeal of the community as a desirable place to live, work and shop, which in turn has a positive impact on the neighboring uses.

The permitting of the outdoor patio area, tenant improvements, signage and façade for the proposed restaurants will be addressed by the tenants through parallel processes with the Department of Building and Safety and other City and County staff. The proposed MCUP itself is only operational in nature and therefore will not affect the size, height, or other physical characteristics of the Site, other than the potential addition of the mezzanine and the enclosure of the patio areas, all of which are on-site.

The proposed restaurant uses, which are to be located on the ground floor of the 28-story high rise mixed-use project, will not only complement the surrounding community, but enhance it as well. Therefore, the site’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.

Therefore, the sale of alcohol for on-site consumption will neither adversely affect nor further degrade adjacent properties, the surrounding neighborhood, or the public health, welfare and safety, but rather will be advantageous to the immediate neighborhood. Lastly, to further ensure that there will not be any deleterious impact to the immediate neighborhood, the City of Los Angeles and State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”) independently retain the authority to revoke permits and/or licenses which allow the sale of alcoholic beverages at the site should there be circumstances that rise to the level of non-compliance of the conditions of approval of the MCUP, subsequent plan approvals, state ABC laws, and local LAMC standards.

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 mixed-use development with the requested MCUP for the service of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption substantially conforms to the purpose, intent and provisions of the portion of the General Plan applicable to the Site and complies with all applicable provisions of the Los Angeles Municipal Code, the Central City Community Plan and the Downtown Design Guidelines.

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.

4 Master Conditional Use Permit Apex II

The Land Use Element of the City's General Plan is divided into 35 Community Plans. The subject property is designated as High Density Residential and Regional Center Commercial under the applicable portion of the General Plan, the Central City Community Plan. These designations correspond to the CR, C1.S, C2, C4, CS, R3, R4, RS, RAS3 and RAS4 zones. The existing C2-4D-SN zoning is consistent with this designation.

The Central City Community Plan identifies the area surrounding the subject property as South Park and recognizes it to be a mixed-use community with a significant concentration of housing. The proposed mixed-used building meets the intent and numerous objectives and policies of the Community Plan as follows:

Objective 2-1: To improve Central City's competitiveness as a location for offices, business, ​ ​ retail, and industry.

Policy 2-1.2: To maintain a safe, clean, attractive, and lively environment. ​ ​ Approval of the requested MCUP will facilitate the anticipated restaurant tenants’ ability to succeed at this location. Having successful restaurants, including outdoor dining, at the ground floor of the mixed use project will be conducive to the safety, cleanliness, attractiveness, and liveliness of the surrounding area. The restaurants will activate these prominent street frontages, encourage pedestrian traffic, and keep “eyes on the street” well into the evening, which is conducive to the safety of the immediate area.

Objective 2-2: To retain the existing retail base in Central City.

Policy 2-2. 2: To encourage pedestrian-oriented and visitor serving uses during the evening hours especially along the Figueroa Street corridor between the Santa Monica Freeway (I-10) and Fifth Street.

The project, will provide 16,045 s.f. area (14,986 s.f. existing plus a potential 1,059 s.f. mezzanine inside space three) and 1,874 s.f. of outdoor area of restaurant and retail uses along 9th Street, Figueroa and Flower Street. The Applicant anticipates that residents (those that live within the building and other area residents) along with workers, tourists, and other visitors to the area will appreciate the ready access to a variety of restaurant options in a lively space. The close proximity to transit and easy walking distance from nearby mixed-use commercial, residential, entertainment, and industrial uses in the area will mean that many patrons will arrive on foot or via transit. The project itself will also positively benefit the City through generation of additional sales tax revenue, business licenses and other fees, and by providing additional short-term and long-term employment opportunities to area residents in the new restaurants. Moreover, those who choose to live in the Downtown core often choose it because of the density and variety of uses in a short, walkable proximity. Thus the project adds pedestrian- oriented or visitor serving uses along Figueroa, 9th and Flower streets and will complete the larger development (which includes portions within the Figueroa Street corridor) by attracting restaurant tenants within a portion of the 22,963 s.f. of ground floor – which uses are neighborhood serving and pedestrian-oriented. Completion of the larger development will further encourage pedestrian-oriented and visitor serving uses during the evening hours especially along the Figueroa Street corridor.

5 Master Conditional Use Permit Apex II

Policy 2-2.3: Support the growth of neighborhoods with small, local retail services.

The proposed project will attract restaurant tenants and facilitate their success within the 16,045 s.f. of interior retail and restaurant space (14,986 s.f. existing plus a potential 1,059 s.f. mezzanine inside space 3) and 1,874 s.f. of outdoor area (up to 532 seats inside and 96 outside) at the ground floor of the Applicant’s project. While space 3 is quite large, the other 3 planned tenant spaces are around 2000 s.f. each, which is an appropriate size for a restaurant with a “neighborhood” feel. Overall, the approximately 23,000 s.f. of ground floor commercial square footage will attract a variety of uses, including neighborhood serving, small, local retail services.

Objective 2-3: 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.

Policy 2-3.1: Support the development of an entertainment district surrounding the ​ ​ Convention Center/Staples Arena with linkages to other areas of Central City and the Figueroa Corridor.

The proposed project is located within 1/2 mile of the Los Angeles Convention Center and LA Live and will help fill in the commercial component of the larger development, which includes portions within the Figueroa Street Corridor with 16,045 s.f. of ground floor retail (14,986 s.f. existing plus a potential 1,059 s.f. mezzanine within space 3) and 1,874 s.f. of outdoor area (up to 532 seats inside and 96 outside) at the ground floor of the Applicant’s 28-story mixed-use project located along 9th, Figueroa and Flower Streets.

Objective 2-4: To encourage a mix of uses which create an active, 24-hour downtown ​ ​ environment for current residents and which would also foster increased tourism.

The proposed project will provide 16,045 s.f. of ground floor restaurant and retail uses to complement the 689 new and existing residential units. The ground floor area will offer restaurant and retail options, including outdoor dining, which will be conducive to attracting tourists and visitors in the area. The MCUP will facilitate the establishment of restaurant tenants at the ground floor of the project. In doing so, it will activate prominent street frontages, encourage pedestrian traffic and contribute to the liveliness of the surrounding area.

For all of the above reasons, the project itself will also be compatible with the aforementioned policies in that the proposed project will embody a high level of quality and distinctive character and will be fully compatible with surrounding uses. The request for a new MCUP to enable the service of alcohol at this location is supportive of the restaurants to be located within the forthcoming development, which in turn is supportive of these goals. Thus, the requested MCUP conforms with the purpose, intent, and provisions of the applicable portions of the Plan.

6 Master Conditional Use Permit Apex II

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

Approval of a MCUP for the sale of alcohol at up to 4 future restaurants at the ground floor of the forthcoming mixed-use development will not adversely affect the welfare of the pertinent community. The operators of the restaurants serving alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption will be carefully vetted to ensure that they have the experience and resources to appropriately manage the service of alcoholic beverages. The Applicant seeks approval of a MCUP for up to 4 new restaurants, two with beer and wine service (type 41) and two with full alcohol (type 47) service, up to one with live music, all within 16,045 s.f. of interior ground floor retail space (14,986 s.f. existing plus a potential 1,059 s.f. mezzanine inside the large corner space) and 1,874 s.f. of outdoor area (up to 532 seats inside and 96 outside). The Applicant is requesting hours of operation from 6 a.m. - 2 a.m. daily with conterminous hours of alcohol sales.

The site is bounded by Figueroa Street to the west, 9th Street to the north, and Flower Street to the east and is located in the South Park neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles within the Central City Community Plan area. The Apex II tower is part of a larger project that consists of two phases: Apex I and Apex II. The overall site itself is an irregular shaped parcel of land and comprised of three lots approximately 100,954 s.f. in total size and zoned as [Q]R5-4D and C2-4D. 60,521 s.f. of the lot area is commercially zoned, while the remaining 40,433 s.f. lot area is zoned for high density residential. In 2005 through 2006, the Applicant received approval for the development of 629 joint live/work condominium residential units and 27,000 s.f. of ground floor retail, for a total of 750,910 s.f on three lots, connected by a central six-story parking structure with a rooftop courtyard/terrace area. The Apex II tower will consist of 341 apartment units, with a rooftop deck for amenities and 16,045 s.f. of ground-floor commercial space.

The request for the MCUP to enable the on-site consumption of alcohol at up to 4 new restaurants will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The Applicant anticipates that residents (those that live within the building and locals) along with workers, tourists, and other visitors to the area will appreciate the ready access to a variety of restaurant options in a lively space. The close proximity to transit and easy walking distance from nearby mixed-use commercial, residential, entertainment, and industrial uses in the area will mean that many patrons will arrive on foot or via transit. The project itself will also positively benefit the City through generation of additional sales tax revenue, business licenses and other fees, and by providing additional short-term and long-term employment opportunities to area residents in the new restaurants. Moreover, those who choose to live in the Downtown core often choose it because of the density and variety of uses in a short, walkable proximity.

For all of the above reasons, approval of the requested MCUP for on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages at up to 4 new restaurants will contribute to the success and vitality of the neighborhood and help make the site a fun and convenient place to visit and dine. For all these reasons, the Applicant believes that the approval of the requested MCUP will not have an adverse effect on the pertinent community.

B. Additional Findings

7 Master Conditional Use Permit Apex II

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

The Site is situated in an area primarily developed with other commercial and retail uses, with a significant workforce and expanding residential population, both of which create an increased demand for restaurant options. As a result, there is a high concentration of alcohol uses in the immediate area (as measured by census tract data). However, it is not uncommon to have clusters of this nature in urbanized and pedestrian-oriented sections of the City. According to the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 4 on-site licenses are allocated to Census. Tract No. 2079.00, while 24 currently exist. Those licenses are as follows: Name of Establishment Address License Type Carl's Jr 299 106 E. Olympic Blvd 41 (ON-SALE BEER/WINE) Mayan Nightclub 1038-1044 S.

Between 600-1000 feet of the Site, there are a total of 10 licensees--18 with on-sale licenses and 1 with an off-site license. Those licensees are as follows: Name of Establishment Address LICENSE TYPE Fogo de Chao 800 S. Figueroa St. #100 47 (ON-SALE GENERAL) Tom's Urban Restaurant 1011 S.

In terms of sensitive uses, there are 2 sensitive uses, including churches, public schools, nursery schools, child-care facilities, parks, public playgrounds, recreational areas or hospitals, located within a 600 foot radius of the Site. Those uses are as follows: Name of Establishment Address Grand Hope Park 919 S. Grand Ave.

Los Angeles Universal Preschool 888 S. Figueroa St. #800

In terms of sensitive uses between 600 ft. to 1,000 ft. from the subject site, currently there are 3, as follows: Name of Establishment Address FIDM - Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising 919 S. Grand Ave. Kid City Hope Place 1021 S. Hope St. California Children's Academy 1031 S. Hope St.

From simply looking at the existing licenses, it may appear that the proposed on-site licenses could result in an undue concentration by definition of alcohol establishments in the area, however, considering the commercial nature of the greater Downtown Area, the burgeoning need for amenities such as this type of use, the density of commercial uses in the immediate surrounding area, and the location of the use on the ground floor of a 28-story mixed use project, this number of licenses is not only typical but beneficial to the prosperity and growth of a downtown urban environment. The type of uses proposed are not typically associated with the negative impacts that sometimes occur with inappropriately managed or sited alcohol licenses, such as may happen with liquor stores or bars. Furthermore, the residential and commercial population in this area are rapidly expanding. Therefore, this census tract would be able to absorb additional alcohol outlets without reaching oversaturation.

Moreover, the forthcoming Apex II is located in an area in Downtown Los Angeles which can be characterized as a commercial corridor developed with a variety of commercial uses. In that context, the number of alcohol uses in the area is not very high. In addition, the ABC recognizes that in many areas where the demand for licenses exceeds the allocation, it is still appropriate to grant additional licenses because the large number of visitors and workers who frequent the vicinity push the effective population count significantly above census numbers. This is certainly the case with regard to commercially developed corridors such as the South Park area of Downtown Los Angeles. While there are other alcohol-serving establishments in the vicinity, the heavily populated and commercially dense nature of the area supports the current number of licenses. Furthermore, having a concentration of on-sale uses can actually be a benefit to a community, as it may be conducive to the liveliness and vitality of an area. Often, restaurant and retail patrons appreciate having a variety of options in an area when going out for a meal. Moreover, those who choose to live in the Downtown core often choose the area because of the density and variety of uses in a short, walkable proximity.

For the reasons stated above, the granting of the requested MCUP will not result in an undue concentration of alcohol-serving establishments.

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

The approval of the requested Master Conditional Use Permit will not detrimentally affect nearby residential zones or uses. The requested MCUP pertains to the ground floor commercial portion of a partially completed mixed-use project at a busy intersection in Downtown LA. The existing and anticipated residents of the overall project typically choose to live in this part of the City because they

10 Master Conditional Use Permit Apex II

appreciate the liveliness and walkability of the area, as well as the wide variety of commercial, entertainment, restaurant, and employment options in the vicinity. The restaurant uses are planned for the commercially zoned portion of the site along 9th and Figueroa Streets. (The requested uses are not ​ permitted in the R5-zoned portion of the Site, which is along the Flower Street side of the project.) In fact, it is typically the case as well that downtown residents overall choose to live in the dense and vibrant downtown core because they appreciate the accessibility of a wide variety of such amenities.

Moreover, there are many similar uses in close vicinity of the Site. For example, northeast of the site are high rise luxury residences within the WaterMarke Tower which also features Faith & Flower restaurant which offers a full line of alcoholic beverages to patrons. This area of downtown of Los Angeles has been and is continuing to be revitalized and bringing about new prosperity in terms of places to live and things to do in this heavily commercialized neighborhood. With that visitors and residents alike appreciate having a wide selection of restaurant options to choose from. Furthermore, the sale and service of alcoholic beverages is an important factor that many customers take into consideration when deciding on where to dine. Given the highly commercial nature of this area alcohol sales is unlikely to impact residential uses in light of the character of the improvements of the surrounding area. Moreover, the Applicant is requesting the MCUP for bona fide restaurants that wish to serve alcohol with meals; thus, the sale of alcoholic beverages will only be an accoutrement to meals and will account for a portion of total gross receipts. The Applicant believes that the proposed hours of operation from 6 a.m. – 2 a.m. daily are consistent with the character of the neighborhood and compatible with the other commercial and restaurant uses in the vicinity. The later hours are appropriate and warranted given the character of the area, particularly given the proximity to LA Live and the Staples Center. Regardless, the Applicant will ensure that the operators selected for each of the tenant areas have the experience and financial backing to ensure that they will operate in a manner which is not detrimental to the character of the development of the neighborhood in which it is located, and in accordance with the conditions of approvals set forth by the City of Los Angeles and the ABC. Moreover, the responsible management and training of all employees selling and handling alcoholic beverages will be critical to the continued success of the restaurants and the mixed-use development as a whole. The “core” of the mixed-use project is the 689 residential units; the Applicant would not seek this MCUP if it were not confident that the restaurant tenants would be operating in a manner that would be perceived positively by the residents of this mixed-use Master Plan community.

For the reasons stated above, the Applicant believes that approval of the requested Master Conditional Use Permit to allow the service of beer and wine and a full line of alcoholic beverages at its forthcoming 28-story high rise mixed development use on the ground floor in addition to the ground floor level of the existing and occupied 28-story high-rise, will not detrimentally affect nearby residential zones or uses.
