FINDINGS OF FACT After thorough consideration of the statements contained in the application, the plans submitted therewith, the report of the Zoning Analyst thereon, the statements made at the public hearing on May 20, 2015, all of which are by reference made a part hereof, as well as knowledge of the property and surrounding district, I find that the requirements for authorizing a conditional use permit under the provisions of Section W,1 have been established by the following facts: BACKGROUND The site is a rectangular-shaped, corner parcel of land composed of a single lot, with frontages of approximately 135 feet along Wilshire Boulevard and 60 feet along Manhattan Place. The Wilshire Community Plan designates the property for Regional Center Commercial land uses with the corresponding CR, C1.5, C2, C4, P, PB, RAS3, RAS4, R3, R4, and R5 Zones. The site is zoned C4-2 and is not located within any specific plan area. The site consists of a 15-foot Building Line along Manhattan Place established by Ordinance No. 46,548, and a 5-foot Building Line along Wilshire Boulevard established under Ordinance No. 59,577. The subject property is currently developed with a two-story restaurant building and surface parking lot. Under ZA CUB-CU, the existing restaurant was permitted for on-site sales of a full line of alcohol within a 5,430 square-foot restaurant with nine karaoke rooms, seating for 138 patrons, and hours of operation from 11:00 a.m. to 2 a.m., daily. The floor plan (Exhibit "A") approved in conjunction with the previous conditional use permit indicates operations to be limited to two floors, including a 720 square-foot outdoor patio dining area with 32 seats. The project site currently provides 16 on-site parking spaces within its surface parking lot with no proposed use of valet parking service. There are no additional parking spaces being provided in conjunction with the proposed project. The applicant is seeking approval of a Conditional Use to allow the safe and dispensing of a full line of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption in conjunction with an existing restaurant with 12 karaoke rooms on the second floor with hours of operation from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., daily. The adjacent properties to the north are zoned C4-2 and R5-2, and developed with a two-story church building and mid-rise multi-family residential buildings. The adjacent properties to the west are zoned C4-2 and R5P-2 and developed with a high-rise

13 CASE NO. ZA (CUB) PAGE 9 commercial building and a surface parking lot. The adjacent properties to the south, across Wilshire Boulevard, are zoned C4-2 and developed with two- and three-story retail and office uses. The adjacent properties to the east are zoned C4-2 and developed with a single-story strip mall and a three-story parking structure. Previous Cases on the Subject Property: Case No. ZA (CUB)(CU) On February 8, 2011, the Zoning Administrator approved a Conditional Use permit to allow on-site sales of a full line of alcohol within a 5,430 square-foot restaurant with hours of alcohol sales from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., with nine karaoke rooms for live entertainment.

Case No. ZA (CUB) - On December 2, 2005, the Zoning Administrator approved a Conditional Use Permit for the sale and dispensing of a full line of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption, in conjunction with a proposed 2,760 square-foot addition including eight karaoke rooms located on the mezzanine level of an existing restaurant (ZIP), seating 169 patrons, having hours of operation from 11 a.m. to 2 am., Monday through Sunday. Case No. ZA (CUB)(ZV) - On December 14, 2004, the Zoning Administrator approved a conditional use to extend hours of operation to 2:00 a.m. daily for a restaurant seating 223 patrons, clarified condition 15-1, a review of conditions as required by Condition 7; and permitted additional parking by lease agreement.

Public Hearing The hearing was conducted on May 20, 2015 in downtown Los Angeles City Hall. The hearing was attended by the applicant, by the applicant's representative, by Sergeant Vincent of the LAPD, by Mr. Ted Oh of the Korean American Federation of Los Angeles and by a representative of Council District 10, Ms. Elizabeth Carlin.

16 CASE NO. ZA (CUB) PAGE 12 Mr. Woo submitted a revised set of plans at the hearing and noted that the proposal for a roof-top patio was not feasible and was deleted from the plans. He noted that the revised plans reduced the restaurant's floor area to a maximum of 5,125 interior square feet and a 1,500 square-foot patio on the ground floor. He noted that the restaurant would be maintained on the ground floor and that the second floor karaoke rooms were reconfigured to allow an expansion to 12 rooms. He stated that the total seating consisted of 150 seats including 48 seats in a covered outdoor patio and including 78 seats in all twelve of the karaoke rooms. Mr. Woo noted that the applicant has operated the restaurant since 2011 and in 2014 became aware that the premises was not properly permitted. The building had Fire Department issues and the restaurant was closed in June of The previous operator applied for a new C of 0 but the C of 0 was never finalized. The applicant has applied for a change of use for the second floor and is currently in plan check and is addressing all code issues. The proposed karaoke rooms are an accessory use to the restaurant and the business will be promoted as a restaurant. The site has a Conditional Use authorizing the on-site sale of alcoholic beverages that will expire in The restaurant has otherwise operated in a manner that has been compatible with surrounding uses. The karaoke use has operated since 2007 and has not been the subject of any problems. Sergeant Vincent noted that she had only met with Mr. Woo and not with the actual applicant. She noted that in June of 2014, there were Fire Code violations on the second floor which was essentially a fire trap. The outside patio was also not permitted. She noted that the applicant is seeking a Type 47 ABC License which would allow minors on the premises but noted that the applicant stated minors would not be allowed in the karaoke rooms. Sergeant Vincent expressed concern that it was important to ensure that employees monitored the karaoke rooms to prevent minors from entering. Although Sergeant Vincent expressed concerns about the site's code violations, she noted that the site was generally not too problematic when it was in business and did not object to the proposed 2 a.m. closing time. She requested that additional cameras be installed on the 2'1 floor to monitor activities and recommended a limited term grant of 3 to 5 years. Mr. Oh testified in opposition to the request. He noted that his wife operates a business down the street. He stated that a large community/town hall meeting was held last year with the LAPD which informed the public that there were 430 ABC licenses in the area including karaoke establishments. Mr. Oh noted that there is too much drinking after midnight in the community and that the area is oversaturated and they don't want any more. Ms. Carlin testified that her office is most concerned with the bad actors (i.e. bad operators) and with those establishments that operate after hours. She noted that the applicant in this case appears to be forthright and moving toward compliance by addressing code violations on the site. She did not object to the request subject to conditions to ensure the use does not become a problem.

17 CASE NO. ZA (CUB) PAGE 13 Correspondence Received Prior to the hearing no correspondence was received from the public or other public agencies. Subsequent to the public hearing, a letter dated June 4, 2015 was received on June 17, 2015 from the Los Angeles Police Department. The letter recommended 29 conditions of approval in the event the Zoning Administrator approved the grant. CONDITIONS IDENTIFIED FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL RELATIVE TO THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES In approving the instant grant, the Zoning Administrator has not imposed Conditions specific to the sale or distribution of alcoholic beverages. even if such Conditions have been volunteered or negotiated by the applicant, in that the Office of Zoning Administration has no direct authority to regulate or enforce Conditions assigned to alcohol sales or distribution. The Zoning Administrator has identified a set of Conditions related to alcohol sales and distribution for further consideration by the State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). In identifying these conditions, the Office of Zoning Administration acknowledges the ABC as the responsible agency for establishing and enforcing Conditions specific to alcohol sales and distribution. The Conditions identified below are based on testimony and/or other evidence established in the administrative record, and provide the ABC an opportunity to address the specific conduct of alcohol sales and distribution in association with the Conditional Use granted herein by the Zoning Administrator. No "Happy Hour" type of reduced-price alcoholic beverage or "2 for 1" promotion shall be allowed at any time. Discounted food promotions are encouraged. No cocktail lounge shall be maintained on the premises separate from the dining area. No alcohol shall be allowed to be consumed on any adjacent property under the control of the applicant. There shall be no exterior advertising of any kind or type, including advertising directly to the exterior from within, promoting or indicating the availability of alcoholic beverages. Interior displays of alcoholic beverages or signs which are clearly visible to the exterior shall constitute a violation of this condition. The sale of alcohol shall be incidental to the sale of food. The sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises is prohibited. The quarterly gross sales of alcohol shall not exceed the quarterly gross sales of food. The business operator shall maintain records which reflect these numbers and make them available to the Police Department upon request. The off-site sale of alcoholic beverages as a secondary use (i.e., "take out") is not permitted. All service of alcoholic beverages shall be conducted by a waitress or waiter or bartender.

18 CASE NO. ZA (CUB) PAGE 14 No bottle service shall be permitted. Alcohol may only be served to patrons who are seated at a table and only in conjunction with a food order. Patrons shall not be served while standing or while waiting to be seated. All personnel selling, dispensing and serving the alcoholic beverages must be 21 years old or older. BASIS FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS A particular type of development is subject to the conditional use process because it has been determined that such use of property should not be permitted by right in a particular zone. All uses requiring a conditional use permit from the Zoning Administrator are located within Section W of the Los Angeles Municipal Code. In order for the sale of beer and wine for on-site consumption to be authorized, certain designated findings have to be made. In these cases, there are additional findings in lieu of the standard findings for most other conditional use categories. FINDINGS Following (highlighted) is a delineation of the findings and the application of the relevant facts to same: 1. 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 is requesting a Conditional Use to permit the continued sale and dispensing of beer and wine for on-site consumption in conjunction with an existing restaurant. The sale of beer and wine for on-site consumption was previously approved under Case No. ZA CUB-CU for a 5,430 squarefoot restaurant with seating for 138 patrons, nine karaoke rooms for live entertainment incidental to the subject restaurant, and hours of operation from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., daily. The applicant seeks to continue the on-site sale of a full line of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with the existing restaurant and karaoke rooms. The applicant proposes to reconfigure the 9 existing karaoke rooms on the second floor to 12 karaoke rooms and to legalize an existing covered patio on the ground floor. The total floor area will remain the same but seating will be increased from 138 seats to 150 seats. The hours of operation will remain unchanged from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., daily. The subject restaurant use has operated on the site since its construction in 2002 and has no problem history and has not been the subject of calls for service or any ABC violations. While the restaurant's operators and size of the development have undergone some changes over the years, the use continues to serve the surrounding community as a viable restaurant and entertainment facility. The site fronts on Wilshire Boulevard, a designated Major Highway (Modified), and is located less than 500 feet of the Metro Purple Line WilshireNVestem subway station, making it conveniently accessible via multiple modes of travel for those who live, work or shop in the area. Wilshire Boulevard

19 CASE NO. ZA (CUB) PAGE 15 is a major commercial corridor and the restaurant's outdoor dining area will contribute positively toward activating the street along this segment of Wilshire Boulevard. 2. 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 a single, generally level, rectangular lot located at the northwest corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Manhattan Place. The site is approximately 11,210 square feet with frontages of 135 feet along Wilshire Boulevard and 60 feet along Manhattan Place. Access to the site is from Manhattan Place. The site is zoned C4-2 and improved with an existing, twostory building and surface parking lot. A total of 16 off-street parking spaces will continue to be provided within the on-site surface parking lot. Valet parking service is not proposed as part of the project. The adjacent properties to the north are zoned C4-2 and R5-2, and developed with a two-story church building and mid-rise multi-family residential buildings. The adjacent properties to the west are zoned C4-2 and R5P-2 and developed with a high-rise commercial building and a surface parking lot. The adjacent properties to the south, across Wilshire Boulevard, are zoned C4-2 and developed with two- and three-story retail and office uses. The adjacent properties to the east are zoned C4-2 and developed with a single-story strip mall and a three-story parking structure. The requested Conditional Use Permit is to allow the continued sale and dispensing of alcoholic beverages within an existing restaurant and karaoke rooms. The hours of operation will remain from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., daily. The perimeter of the subject property is lined by a decorative wrought iron fence, and includes a sliding security gate that remains locked during non-operating hours. The subject restaurant use has operated on the site since its construction in 2002 and has no problem history and has not been the subject of calls for service or any ABC violations. The current operator inherited the premises with code violations. While the site was previously authorized for the on-site sale of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with the restaurant and karaoke rooms, the previous operator never received a final Certificate of Occupancy to convert the second floor to karaoke rooms or for the covered patio on the ground floor. The applicant is in the process of upgrading the restaurant and bringing the premises into compliance with all code regulations. Furthermore, the Los Angeles Police Department submitted a letter dated June 4, The letter did not object to the request but included numerous recommended conditions of approval to address noise, safety and security that have been incorporated into the grant. Thus, as conditioned, the project's location, size, height, operations and other significant features will be compatible

20 CASE NO. ZA (CUB) PAGE 16 with and will not adversely affect or further degrade adjacent properties, the surrounding neighborhood, or the public health, welfare, and safety. 3. The project substantially conforms with the purpose, intent and provisions of the General Plan, the applicable community plan, and any 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 is divided into 35 separate Community Plans, each representing a distinct geographic area within the City. The subject property is located within the Wilshire Community Plan area and is designated for Regional Center Commercial land uses with the corresponding CR, C1.5, C2, C4, P, PB, RAS3, RAS4, R3, R4, and R5 Zones. The Wilshire Community Plan describes the Wilshire Center Regional Commercial Center as including "a dense collection of high rise office buildings, large hotels, regional shopping complexes, churches, entertainment centers, and both high-rise and low-rise apartment buildings." The Wilshire Community Plan is otherwise silent in regards to the sale of alcohol and, therefore, the requisite findings for approving the instant request are established by Section of the L.A.M.C. and the requisite findings have been established herein. In following, the project substantially conforms with the purpose, intent and provisions of the General Plan, and the Wilshire Community Plan. The project is not subject to any specific plans. 4. The proposed use will not adversely affect the welfare of the pertinent community. The approval of the Conditional Use to permit the sale of a full-line of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption in conjunction with the restaurant and karaoke use will not adversely affect the welfare of the community to the extent that the restaurant is an existing use and the sale of alcohol will be incidental to food service. Many properties within a 1,000-foot radius of the site, and within the Wilshire Center Regional Commercial Center and along Wilshire Boulevard, a designated Major Highway, are currently developed with commercial uses, including other similar food or restaurant establishments. The proposed use will be conducted in accordance with conditions of approval and security measures as identified herein. Hours of operation will remain unchanged from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., daily. No evidence was submitted for the record indicating that the site has generated any nuisance or criminal activity or any operational issues of detriment to the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, as conditioned, the proposed use will not adversely affect the welfare of the pertinent community.

21 CASE NO. ZA (CUB) PAGE The granting of the application will not result in an undue concentration of premises for the sale or dispensing for consideration of alcoholic beverages, including beer and wine, in the area of the City involved, giving consideration to applicable State laws and to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control's guidelines for undue concentration; and also giving consideration to the number and proximity of these establishments within a one thousand foot radius of the site, the crime rate in the area (especially those crimes involving public drunkenness, the illegal sale or use of narcotics, drugs or alcohol, disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct), and whether revocation or nuisance proceedings have been initiated for any use in the area. According to the California State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control licensing criteria, 2 on-site and 1 off-site licenses are allocated to the subject Census Tract No , which had a population of 3,016 as of August, There are currently 18 on-site and 2 off-site licenses active within this census tract. The subject property currently has a pending Type 47 (On Sale General Eating Place) transfer of license application in process with ABC. Statistics from the Los Angeles Police Department's Olympic Division Vice Unit reveal that in Crime Reporting District No. 2022, which has jurisdiction over the subject property, a total of 215 crimes were reported in 2014, compared to the citywide average of 163 crimes and the high crime reporting district average of 196 crimes for the same period. Part I Crimes reported by LAPD include Homicide (1), Rape (3), Robbery (10), Aggravated Assault (14), Burglary (25), Auto Theft (10), and Larceny (56). Part II Arrests include Other Assaults (2), Weapons Violations (4), Prostitution Related (4), Narcotics/Drugs (21), Public Drunkenness (8), DWI (12), and All Other Violations (25). 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 negatively impact an area, but rather such a license benefits the public welfare and convenience. The proposed project would continue an existing on-site ABC license within this census tract. Additionally, no site specific evidence was submitted by the LAPD or adjacent residents for the record indicating or suggesting any link between the subject site and the neighborhood's crime rate. The site has no history of nuisance activity and has not been the subject of any complaints. The mode and character of the existing restaurant remains food service and will continue to provide a dining and entertainment use within the Wilshire Center Regional Commercial Center, and is not anticipated to result in any activity that would contribute to the area's crime rate. The instant grant by the Zoning Administrator includes operational conditions that will ensure that the project does not generate any criminal or nuisance activity. The site's location is proper in relation to adjacent uses and the surrounding community to the extent that the site is designated for Regional Center Commercial uses, and existing land uses along Wilshire Boulevard are characterized by a wide variety of commercial retail and office, and residential uses serving the adjacent residential neighborhoods. Thus, as conditioned, it is

22 CASE NO. ZA (CUB) PAGE 18 not anticipated that the additional alcohol license on the premises would adversely affect the community welfare. 6. The proposed use will not detrimentally affect nearby residentially zoned communities in the area of the City involved, after giving consideration to the distance of the proposed use from residential buildings, churches, schools, hospitals, public playgrounds and other similar uses, and other establishments dispensing, for sale or other consideration, alcoholic beverages, including beer and wine. The following sensitive use is located within 1,000 feet of the subject site: St. James Episcopal School; 625 South St. Andrews Place New York One Art and College Prep School, Song One Church; 3960 Wilshire Boulevard St. James Episcopal Church; 3903 Wilshire Boulevard Inglesia De Jesuscristo; 3907 West 61h Street Yang Kog Church; 519 South Western Avenue Church of Joy; 3912 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles Institute of Architecture and Design; 3807 Wilshire Boulevard Cal America Education Institute, King Learning Center, Huntington Career College; 3700 Wilshire Boulevard Koreatown Youth & Community Center, 680 South Wilton Place The project site is adjacent to residential uses to the north, however, the surrounding area consists primarily of commercial retail and office uses. The site is adequately buffered from residential uses a church use. Furthermore, the project consists of a request for a Conditional Use to permit the continued sale and dispensing of alcohol in conjunction with an existing restaurant. The numerous operational conditions included in the instant approval are intended to further reduce any potential impacts on surrounding properties. As conditioned, the Zoning Administrator finds that the approval of the Conditional Use will not detrimentally affect the neighboring residential properties or any other sensitive uses in the area.

23 CASE NO. ZA (CUB) PAGE 19 ADDITIONAL MANDATORY FINDINGS 7. The National Flood Insurance Program rate maps, which are a part of the Flood Hazard Management Specific Plan adopted by the City Council by Ordinance No. 172,081, have been reviewed and it has been determined that this project is located outside the Flood Zone. 7. On April 24, 2015, the project was issued a Notice of Exemption pursuant to Article III, Section I of the City CEQA Guidelines, (ENV CE), for a Categorical Exemption, Class 5, Category 34, City CEQA Guidelines, Article Ill, Section 1, State EIR Guidelines, Section I hereby adopt that action.
