Attachment D.
Nei~hborhood Campahbility
Two schoals exist wrthin a 500' radius of the project site• Crossroads Elementary at 1229
4th Street and Weekrlay Nursery Schaol at 1248 2nd Street. Approxunate~y 39 persons
reside within a 500' radius of the site. No places of worship or parks are located within a
500' radius
The applicant proposes haurs of operation for alcohol sales between the hours af i 1 30 a m.
and 12:04 a m.
Existm~ Non-Conforming Si~na~e
The pro~ect site cantains a nonconformmg roaf sign which advertises the gym at the srte If
the Planning Commission approves the propased alcohol license, staff recommends that
removai of the nonconforming sign be included as a conditian of approval.
Canclusion
Altho~gh the exishng food-serv~ng establishment currently has an extensive food menu, the
kitchen and seatuig areas are muumal The prunary use of the sub~ect business ~s a health
club rather than a restaurant, with appraximately 7,000 square feet devoted ta gy~ uses and
approximately 425 square feet devoted to food and beverage sernce {mcluding kitchen
area} If the sub}ect fa,cility were not ~n the Bayside District, the ~rigtnal permztted food
use would have fallen under the category of incidental food service ra#her than restararant
Grven the small krtchen size, the poten~ia~ exists for creatuig a bar-like environment where
people coine to dnnk alcohol rather than consume food ar non-alcoholic beverages Based
on these factors, and the findings contained belaw, Plann~~~ staff concurs vv~th the Police
Depar'trnent and recommends that th~.s applicat~on be demed by the Planning Commission

RECONIIbIENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Cam~ssion deny CUP 94-017 based on the follow7ng
findings•
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
1 The praposed use is one conditionally permitted within the su~aject dismct and
comp~ies with alt of the agplicable provisions of the "City of Santa Monica
Comprehensive Land Use and Zoning Ordinance", in that an alcohal license in
con~unct~on with a food seavice is canditionally pemutted in the C3C district of the
Zoning Ordinance and in the T~uurd Street Mali Specific Plan. However, given the
minirr~ kitchen facilities an-site and the incidental nature of the faad-serving use
relative to the health club ~se at the srte, a denial of the proposed license is
eonsistent with SMMC Sectian 9.44 10 18.O10{c), wl~ch states that "approval [shall
be] based on the specific type of alcohol aut~et, neighborhood location, and
patEntial problems xnvolved."
2 The proposed use would impair the in~egrity and character af the district in which
it is to be established or located, in that the C3C distnct and Tlurd Street Mall
Specific Plan azea perrmxs alcohol uses that aze ancillary to food uses, and the
proposed alcohol use would be ancillary to a health club use to which food service
~s mcidental.
3. The proposed use is not compatible with any of the land uses presently an the
sub~ect pazcel if the present land uses are to remain, ~n that the issuance of a Type
41 {On-Sale Beer and Wine for a Bona Fide Public Eat~ng Place) alcohol license is
incompat~ble wrth the allowed ~uice bar v~th limrted ~utchen facilities lacated
witlun at~ appraximately 7,U00 square foot health club
4 The praposed use would he incompatible with existing and permissible land uses
wir.hin ~he district and the general area u~ which the proposed use is to be located,
m that the zoning of the srte condltionally pemuts the ISSUaf1C~ of an alcohoi
hcense for bona fide public eat~ng places. and the eacisting approved ~tuce bar/cafe
is ancidental to a health club use and does not contain sufficient facilit~es to ensure
that it will be continually utilized as a bona fide pubhc eating place.
5 The physical lacation or piacement of the use on the site is ~ncampatible with and
relates unharmoniously to the surrounding neighborhood, in that the proposed Type
41 alcohol license is permitted only for a bona fide pubiic eat~ng place, and the
incidental nature of the foad sen~ice relative to the health club use lends itself to
the use of the alcohol license m a manner similar to a public premises, which is
associated with alcohoi problems in the area and far which a license has not been
-5- ~• ~I~
~
filed
5 The proposed use as inconsistent vv~th #he goals, ob~ecti~ves, and pahcies of the
General Plan, in that Policy 1.2 4 of the Land Use Element of the General PIan
states t~at th~ Csty shall "limrt or control the location or otherwise mitigate the
impact of commercial uses such as alcohol outlets" city-wide, and the proposed
alcahol outlet has the patential to be utilized as a pubiic premises establishment arid
that, u+hile Third Street Mall Sgecific Pia~ Policy 4.1.5 encourages the develogment
of eating and drinktng establishments to promote econoiruc acti~ty ~ the area, the
size and locat~on of the cafe, which may inhibrt general public access, and the
cafe's aperation, wluch is incidental to the primary hea.lth club establishment, will
not serve to promote act~vity in the area.
7 The propased use wouId be detrimental to the pubhc interest, health, safet}~,
convenience, or general welfaze, ~ that the proposed permit would allow alcohol
service in association with a food use which zs incidental to a health club and
wo~ld have the patential to be utilized as a public premises.
8 The proposed use will not result xn an averconcentration of such uses m the
imme~iate vicinity, in that the proposed alcahol license is a Type 41 license and
on~ addrtional Type 41 or Type 47 license is perFnitted within Block 4 of the Third
Street Promenade, where the praposed use is Iocated. However, given the layout of
the proposed operat~on and the lack of sigm~icant kitchen facilities, the proposed
use has the potential to be operated effect~vely as a generai prert~ses, which is a
type af outlet that has contributed significandy to alcohol related problems in the
area.
ALCOHOL OUTLET FINDINGS
I The praposed use and location is not in accordance with good zontng practice, is
not in the public interest, and is not necessary that substant~al justice be done in
that the alcohvl l~cense wauld be for a ~uice bar/cafe ~at is incidental to the
pnnnary health club use and that alcohol in this type af facility could Iead to a
prolifera~ion of alcohol autlets m establishments that are not pr'unarily food-serving
operations.
2 The proposed use would adversely affect the welfare of neighborhoad residents in a
significant rnanner in that the us~e cot-ld be easily converted from a bona fide pubhc
eating place to a public preriuses, which is a type of alcohol autlet associated with
alcohoI-related problems in the area
3 The proposed use will not contribute to an undue concentrahon af alcouol outlets in
~ the area in that a restaurant is not typically considered ta contnbute to
o6jectionable problems assac;ated wrth alcohol autlets, and tha~ the area is in the
- 6 - ~~ 018
downtoun portion af Santa Moruca which is frequen#ed by large numbers of local
residents as well as office workers. shoppers, and ~isitors from outside the area
However, given the size, location and layout of the proposed operation and the lack
of sig~uficant kitchen facilrties, the p~oposed use has the potential tc~ be operated
effectively as a general premises, which is a type of outlet that has contnhuted
sigruficantly to alcohol related problerns m the area.
4, The proposed use wouid ~~e a potent~al to detrimentally affect nearby
neighborhoods consider~ng the distance of the alcohol outlet ta residential
buildings, churches, schooIs, hospitals, playgrounds, parks, ar~d other existin~
alcoho~ outlets in that tlae proposed facility wfluld have the pQtent~al to be utiliaed
as a public premises and is within a 500' radius of a priva#e elementary school acid
a private preschool
5 The proposed use is incompatible with exxsting and potential uses with~n the
general area in that the ~uice bar/cafe would have the potent~aI to be effectively
u~ilized as a public prem~ses
6 The p~blic health, safety, and general welfate are not protected in that the
proposed use would allow alcohol service m an estabIishment that is primarily a
health club
7 Harm ta ad~acent properties couId potentially result in that, because of the layout
and timrted lutchen facilit~es contained at the establishment, rt would be difficutt to
adequately condit~on ~he application to ensure that tt~e use would be maintained as
a bona fide public eating estabhshment
8. The proposed use 15 incansistent with tlze object~ves of the General Plan in that
Policy 1.2.4 af t1~e Land Use Element of the General Plan states that the City shall
"limit ar controi the location or othe~se mitigate the unpact of commercial uses
such as alcohol out~ets" crty-w~de, and the proposed alcohol oudet has the potentzal
to be utihzed in a manner sumlar to a public premises, which is a type of alcohol
use which is associated with alcohol-reiated problems in the City.

Part 4.
After somE careful analysis, I recommend that the application by the Powerhouse
Gym for a type 41 licence be DENIED. The issuance o~ this ~icence would deviate
from and is incompatible with the state purpose of th~ir operation.
The Vice section conducted an inspection and interview the staff of th~
facility. It does not appear that they have suitable kitchen tacilities
as defined and req~ried by section 23038 of the Business & Professions Code.
In additian, there are currently four type 41, four type 47, and one type 58
alcahol outlets in the 1200 block af the Promenade.

ALCOHOL SERVICE SECURiTY PLAN
Alcohalic be~erage serv~ce at the sportsclub cafe is to compfiment our
foodserv~ce, which is our number one priority. We as staf# members of both the
club and cafe m~st make customers aware that w~e are not a bar, but a
toodservice establishment servmg alcohol as a s~de be~erage At no time can
w9e aEtow patrons to became intowcated #hrough serwce at our cafe (refer to
alcohal awareness plan}
Occasaonaily ~ntoxicated persons wiE~ enter the cl~b after dr~nking at nearby
es#ablishments and ask to use equipment in an effort to prave, how many pult-
ups, benchpress etc. that they are able to perfarm. You must e~lain to them
courteously that it is dangerous for them to be on the workout fioor when
~ntaxicated, no matter how strong and energet~c they may feel It is also illegal
for us to allow them ~nside as we are licensed by the A.B.C.
1N~en dealang rnnth an ~r~toxicated person, be fr~endly and try to make them
real,ze #hat you are interested m their safe#y. If at any time you feel that you
may not be able ta keep the person or persons under control, imm~diately pag~
other staff members ta offer their assistar~ce m the s~tuation You should also
contact Promenade Security Off~cers if needed, or to irrform them of poss~ble
troublemakers on the Pramenade
Remember, be fr~encfiy but firm ff you are respectFul, most often you wrll be able
to keep the situat~an under con#rol

1. 'Ihe proposed use is one conditianally p~~futted within the subject dis~ict and ovmplies
with all of the applicable provisions of the "City of Santa Monica Comprel~nsive Land
Use and Zoning Ordinance", in that an a~cohal license in conjunction with a food ser~nce
is cc~nditionaIiy p~mitted in the C3C distrid of the 7aning Ordinance and in the Third
Stre~t Mall Specific Plm3. Howev~, giv~ the l~c of cooldng ec~~i~~rt in the kitchen,
and fhe incider~tal na~hme of the food seaving u~e rela~ive to the heatth club use at the site,
and fl~at the use ~s intended to serve primmily l~ealth club members and will not promate
adivity an d~e Third St~eet Pro~~, ~ d~ial of tt~ proposed license is consistent with
SMMC Sectian 9.4410.1 S.O10(c), whicl~ states fl~at "a~rova~ [shail be] based on the
spacific type af alcahol out~e~, neighborhaod loca~ion, a~d potential problems involved."
2. `Ihe proposed use would impair the integrity and cha~a+cter of the dis~ct in which rt is
to be established or la_~±?~, in that the C3C distric~ and Third Street Malt Specific Plan
perrnits alcohol uses that are ancillary to food uses, and ti~e proposed alcohol use wouid
be ancillary to a health ctub use to which food seivice is incidental
3 The proposed use is not cc,i~~atible with any of the land uses presently on the subject
parcel if the pre~ern Iand uses are to remain, in that the issuance of a Type 41 (4n-Sale
Beer and Wine for a Bona Fide Pubhc Eating Place} alcohol licen,se is incompaxible with
the allowed juice bar without standard ~ant cooking equiPment such as a grill, oven,
or stove located within an approximately 7,0()0 square foot health club.
4. The proposed use would be incompa~ible with existing and p~~~~~ssible land ~ses within
the di~trict and the general ar~ea in which the propased use is ta be locateri, in that the
zoning af the site conditionally pern~ts the issuance of an alcohol license for bor~a fide
public eating places, and the existing appro~ed juice bar/cafe is incidental to a heal~ club
use and does not contau~ suf~cient cooking facilities, such as a stove, grill or oven, to
ens~e tha~t rt will be continually utiliz~ed as a bona fide public eatang place.
5. The physical location or plac~emern of the use on the site is incompatible wi#h and relates
tmhannoniously to the suirounduig neighborhood, in that the propos~d Type 41 alcohal
license is pernutted orily for a bona fide public eat~ng place, and the incidental nature of
the food service relative to the health club use lends rtself to the use of the alcohol licen~se
in a manner simiiar to a public premises, whieh is associated with alcahol problems in
the area and for which a license has not be~n filed F~uther, the second floor location
combined with the juice bai's depend~nce on the health club, does no~ seive to promote
2
~• 050
the use to the genexal public and, the~efare, will not enhance the activrty level on the
'Ihird Street Prorr~ade.
6. 'Ihe praposed use is inconsistent with the goaLs, objecti~es, and policies of the G~n~al
Pla~, in that Palicy 1.2.4 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan s±~±~s that the City
shall "limit or control #he locahon or otherwise mitigate the impact of oomm~erc~a~ us~
such as alcohol outlets" city-wid~ and the proposed aloohal outlet has the potential to be
utiliz~ad as a public premis~s establishrnent and that, while Third Street Mall Specific Plan
Policy 4.1.5 encotuages the developmerit of eat~ng and drinking establishments to promote
economic acavity in the ar~ea, ~lie size and locatian of the cafe, whir.h may inhibit general
public acc~ss, and the cafe's operation, wluch ~s incidental to the primary heaIth club
establis~mer~t, will not sexve to prnrrvo~te activity in the m~ea.
7. The proposed use would he detrimental to the public interesc, heal#h, safety, convenie~ce,
ar g~eral welfare, in that the pt~oposed pemut would a11aw aloahol service in as.sociation
with a foai ~e which is incide~tal tc~ a health club and, due to the l~k of standard
r~±~~ ~ant cooking eqe~ipment such as a gxill, stove, or oven, would have the potential ta
he utilized as a public prem~ses
8 The pra~ use will not result in an ov~c~tration of such tases in the imme~diat~
vicinity, in that the proposed aloohol lic~se is a Type 4~ license and one a~~Ttional Type
4~ ar Type 471icense is pemutted wi~hin Block 4 of the 'Ihird Str~t Pram~ad~, wh~e
the proposed t~se is locatcd. However, given ti~e layout of the propased operation and the
Iack of significant kitchen facilities, such a~ a grill, stove, ar uven, the proposed use has
the potential to be opeiated effectively as a ge:neral premises, w~ich is a fype of outle~
that has contributed signifiicantly to alcohol reiated problems in the a~rea.
AL~OHOL Oi_JTI ~ET FINDINGS
1. The praposed use and location is not in accordance with good zoning practice, is not m
the public ~nterest, and is not necessary thaa~t substantial justioe be done in that the alcohol
license would be for a juice barlcafe, without standard r~~~~ant cooking equipm+~t such
as a grill, stove, or aven, that is incid~tal to the primary health club use and that alcohol
in ~his type of facility could lead to a proliferatian of alcohol outl~ u~ establishments
that are nat primarily faoc!-serving operations.
2. The proposed use would adversely affect the welf~re of neighborhood residerns in a
sig~uficant maruier in that given the lack of standard r~~~?rant cooking ex~utpn~en~ the
use could be easily converted from a bona fide pubiic eating place to a public premises,
which is a type of alcohol outlet associated with alcahol-relazed prablems in the ~rea.
3 The proposed use will not corrtribute to an undue concen~ion of alcohol outlets in the
area in that a resr~»±~ant is not typically considered to cantnbute to objeckianable
problems associated with alcohol outlets, and that the area is in the dawntown portion
3
~ ~ 051
of Santa Monica which is fra~uentad by large nw~ri6ers of local r~sid~ts as well as
office warkers, shoppers, and visitors from autside the a~+ea. However, given the size,
lacation and layaut of the propased operation and the lack of significant krtchen
facilities, the proposed use has the potential to be op~rated effectively as a g~rteral
premises, which is a type of outle~ that has contrib~rted significantly to alcohol related
p~obiems in the area, and thaa~t given the second floor location and oonnection to the
health club, the ~uice bar vM~l not function as an independent establishment easily
acces.sible to the pubiic.
4. The proposed use wouid have a patential to de~in~tally aff~ct nearhy neighb~hoods
consid~ing the distance af the alcohol outlet to resi~tia~ building,s, cLurches, schools,
~p~tals, P1~YSro~ P~ and othet' existitig a~cohol outlets in that the proposed
facility would have #he potential to be trtilized as a pub~ic pr~mises and is within a SQO'
radius of a private elernentary sr~zool and a p~ivate preschool.
5. The prQposed use is incoin}~tible with exi~ting and pot~tial uses within the ~ az~ea
in that the jui~ bar/cafe wouid have the poter~ria~ to be effectively ukili~d as a public
Premises.
6. 1he public health, safery, and general we~ne are not ~motected in t~at the ~opose~ use
would a~low alcohol servioe in an establishment that is primarily a health club.
7 Harm to adjac~nt properkies could potentially result in tl~at, beca~se of the layout and
lun~ted kitchen faci~ities caartained at the estabIishmern, it would be difficult to
adequately condition the application ta ensure that the use would be rr~aintained as a
bona fide pubiic eating establ.ishment.
$. The proposed use is inconsistent with the obj ectives of the C~neral Plan ~n that Policy
I.2.4 of the Land Use Elemern of the General Plan states thaa~t the City shall "limit or
control the locatian or otherwise mirigate the impact of commercial uses such as alcohol
outiets" city-vsnde, and the propose~i alcohol outl~, gi~~t the lack of standard kitchen
ecg.upment and operat~onai retiance on the health ciub, has the pot~t~ai to ~x utii~zed
in a manner similar to a public premises, which is a type of alcohol use which is
associated with alcohol-re~ated prablems ui the City and is in conflict with Policy 4.1.6
of the Third Street Mall Specific Plan, which states t~ the City shall "provide for the
development or contuiuation of uses which serve neighborhood needs."

Part 4.
After same carefu~ analys~s, I recornmend that the application by the Powerhouse
Gym fax a~ype 41 licence be DENIED. The issuance of this Iicence would deviate
from and ~s incompatible with *he state purpose of their aperation.
The Vice section canducted an ~.nspection and interview the staff of ~he
~acill~y. It does not appear ~hat~tthey have suitable kitchen facilities
as de~ined and requr~ed by sec~ion 23038 of the Business & Professions Code.
In addition, ~here are currently four type 41, faur type 47, and ane type 58
alcoho' out~ets in the 12G0 block of the Promenade.
