    ATTACHMENT “A” REQUEST FOR DISCRETIONARY APPROVAL L.A.M.C. §12.24 M Chipotle Mexican Grill Store #1500 601 W. 7th St. Los Angeles Chipotle Mexican Grill (Chipotle Mexican Grill, LLC, d/b/a Chipotle Mexican Grill, (“the Applicant” and/or “Chipotle”) is seeking the following discretionary approval: Pursuant to L.A.M.C. Section 12.24 M, the Applicant requests a Plan Approval for the continued sale and/or dispensing of alcohol for on-site consumption in connection with an existing 104-seat, 3,042 s.f. restaurant with hours of operation from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, located on a 10,463 s.f. lot in the C2-4D zone. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Applicant, Chipotle, is requesting a Plan Approval to permit the continued service of a full line of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption at its existing location at 601 W. 7th St. in Downtown Los Angeles (“Site”). Chipotle opened in March 2011, and has served beer since its opening date pursuant to Case No. ZA 2010- 2296 (CUB) ("Existing Approval"), which approved the restaurant to serve a full line of alcoholic beverages. The restaurant is 3,042 s.f. and provides 104 indoor seats. The Applicant currently holds a type 41 ABC license (beer and wine), but would continue to like the operational flexibility to upgrade the license in order to add margaritas to its offerings at a future date. The request herein is only a renewal and is purely operational in nature. The Applicant believes that its request for a Plan Approval for the continued service of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption along with meals at its “fast casual” Mexican-style restaurant is warranted based upon the company’s outstanding record of compliance with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverages (“ABC”), the appropriateness of the location for the requested use, and its overall reputation as a well-established, responsible company which can be trusted to manage the requested ABC license appropriately.

  • IV. Environmental Impact Analysis D.1 Cultural Resources—Historic Resources
    IV. Environmental Impact Analysis D.1 Cultural Resources—Historic Resources 1. Introduction The following section of the Draft EIR evaluates potential impacts related to historic resources associated with development of the Proposed Project. The analysis is based on the following study and correspondence: Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza Historic Resource Report (the “Historic Resource Report”) prepared by Christopher A. Joseph and Associates, July 2009 (Appendix D1 to this Draft EIR) and written correspondence from the South Central Coastal Information Center at California State University, Fullerton, on April 16, 2009 (Appendix D2 to this Draft EIR). 2. Environmental Setting Generally, a lead agency must consider a property a historic resource under CEQA if it is eligible for listing in the National or California Register of Historical Resources (the “California Register”). The California Register is modeled after the National Register of Historic Places (the “National Register”). Furthermore, a property is presumed to be historically significant if it is listed in a local register of historic resources or has been identified as historically significant in a historic resources survey (provided certain criteria and requirements are satisfied) unless a preponderance of evidence demonstrates that the property is not historically or culturally significant.1 The National and California Register designation programs are discussed below. In addition, the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Ordinance is discussed as a potentially applicable local designation program. a. Regulatory Framework (1) Federal Level (a) National Register of Historic Places The National Historic Preservation Act established the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) to recognize resources associated with the country’s history and heritage.
