FROM: City Staff i Y J :Rrt ( V 1 ll ~V~J/~ Santa Monica, Califarnia SUBJECT: Appeal o~ Conditional Use Permi~ and Reduced Parking P~rmit to aliaw the op~rati~n af a 19,486 square ~aot, 699-seat restaurant and enterta~nmerlt facil.ity with a Type-47 ~on-sale ger~eral) alcaho]. license at 37o Santa Monica Pier. Canditional Use Permit 92-028 Reduced Parking Permit 92-003 Appiieant: Russel Barnard/City af santa Monica Appellant: Stephanie Harbanell INTRODUCT~ON This report recommends that the City Cauncil. deny the appeal~ and uphold the P].anning Cammiss~.on's approva~ ~~ Conditianal Use P~rmit 92-028 and Reduced Paxking Penanit 92-~~3. SACKGROUND The propo~ed praject wiZl involve the demolitian o~ the existing 5inbad's and American Grill buildings. The new building wi1~ be a re--creation oF the Sinbad's bu~lding with an adjacent two-stary structure. The building caill appear to be two distinct struc- tures fram the exterior, but wi~1 function as one ~nterior space. The praject wzll contain a tatal af 1~,708 square feet af interi- vr space and 3,778 square feet of exterior spaca. The restaurant/entertainment facility will pravide a variety oP seating options including interiox seating, exterior ground level seating and deck 1eve1 patios. The first ~1aor wi.ll cansist of a - 1. - ~ ae; i ~j ;9~~ kitchen, cafe, retail space and an entertainment shawr4om featur- ing live entertainment and dancing. The mezzanine will include banquet/meeting rooms, restrooms, affices, dressing roams and storage. The second floor will feature a"table-c~oth" type res- taurant with a sma11 lounge, a dining roam, patio ~eating and ~iva entertainment. The type a~ entertainment in the secflnd floor rEStaurant wil~ include small acts such as string or jazz quartets, piano/vacalist, or poetry readings. The applicant is requesting tha~ the pro~ect be approved wfth a total of 29,486 ~quare feet of f~oor area and a maximum of 699 seats. The actual number of seats and configuration of seating p~ans will vary, depending on ti~e af year and type of entertainment being offered. An Administrative Approva~ is pending to allaw the construction and operation of the two-story plus mezzanine resta~rant with live entertainment and dancing and an anci~lary retail use. The approval of the Reduced Parking Permit is required prior ta the issuance of the Administrative Appraval. In Apri1 of 1992, the City Cauncii approved the Santa Manica Pier Develapment project, which ir~cluded renovation af same existing Pier buildings and additi.on of the Fun Zone. The shared parking ana~ysis cantained in the Environmental Impact Report certified ]ay the City Council for the Pier Development Project concluded that there wou~d be approximately 68,085 square feet Qf res- taurant/entertainment space and a total of appraximately 2,270 - 2 - restaurant seats associated with the redeve~aped Pier. This num- ber included consideration of the Ash Grqve and 5inbad's pra~- ects. The parking analysis stated that there is c~rrently ade- quate park~ng available to ~eet the parking demand far the new restaurants and entertainment uses. A Conditional Use Permit and Reduced Parking Permit for the Ashgrove are the subject of a sep- arate actian, also pending before the City Cauncil. In May of 1992, the City Cauneil approved an Alcohalic B~verage Service P~licy Statement ~or the Santa Monica Pier. While the proposed policy statement recommended by the Pier Restoration Corporation included a limit an the number af alcohol outlets ta be perm~tted an the Pier, the Council's actian did nat set a numerical ~imit, but stated that each alcohol permit applicatian shauld be reviewed on its awn merits, until a Pier Master PZan is adapted, On August 26, 1992, the Planning Comm~ssion approved a Condition- al Use Permit and Reduced Parking Perm~t to allow the issuance of a Type-47 a~cohol license for 5in~adls. The Cammiss~on approved th~ pro~ect by a vate of four to ~ne, with one Commissione~ ab- sent and ~ne Commissianer abstaining. 4n August 27, 1992, the applicant appeaZed ane of the Planning Commission's canditions of approval, and on September 9, 1992, Stephanie Barbanell appealed the overaZ~ approval of the prajeat. - 3 - ANAL~SIS Reduced Parking Permit Gade required parking for the propased restaurant/entertainment facility would be 281 spaces based on a ratio of one space for every 50 square fee~ of bar area and one space for every 75 square feet ~f restaurant area. The applicant has applied for a Reduced Parking Permit to allaw a reduction o~ the required num- ber of parking spaces based on the fact that shared parking is character~stic af the Pier and the adjacent beach iots. The En- ~iranmenta~ Impact Repnrt certified by th~ City Council for the Pier D~velopment Project included a parking analysis which con- cluded that there are enough existing parking spaces to accommo- date ~h~ ~xisting d~mand from the ~ier~ as wall as the de~and which would be generated by the Ash Grave and Sinbad's pra~ects. There are currently 1,210 parking spaces that serve the Pier, with 27~ spaces in the Pier surface parking lot, 75 spaces at 1640 Appian Way, 7~5 spaces at 155~ Pacific Coast Highway, and 157 spaces at ~440 Paci~ic Coast Highway. The EIR concludes that the existing peak parking demand Eor the Pier is 939 spaces, and that the parking demand far the Ash Grove and ~inbad's wau~d be 1~1 spaces fo~ a tata~ of 1,040 spaces, This results in a sur- plus of 170 spaaes. During ~he ~venings, which are expected to be th~ peak demand p~r~od ~or the ~ubject fac~lity, there are substantial parking resources available due ta the lack of beach parking demand. Based an ~hese calcu~ations, staff is recammend- ing appraval af the Reduced Parking Permit. - 4 - Alcohol Lic~nse According to the li5t of alcohol Iicenses in the City af Santa Monica as of May 11, 1992, published by the ABC, within a 500' radius of the site, there is ane Type-40 (on-sale beer~ Iicense, five Type-41 (an-sa1~ be~r and wine} licenses and two Type-47 (on-sale general) licenses. These incl~de the following: Typ~ ~0 (~n-SaZe Beer) Mermaid Cafe (42 seats) 1557 Ocean Front Walk Type 41 {~n-5ale Beer and Wine for Eating Place) SM Pier Seafood S~rf View Cafe Am~rican Grill Jac~'s on the Piar Big Dean's Cafe (115 seats} ~58 Santa Monica Pier (80 seats) 330 Santa Manica Pier (36 seats) 378 Santa Manica P~er (58 seats) 390 Santa Monlca Pi~r (64 seats) i513 Ocean Front Wa~k Type 47 (on-Sale General for Eating Place) Baathouse Restaurant (332 seats) 301 Santa Monica Pier Crown and Anchor (11~ seats) 256 Santa Monica Pier In addition to the outiets listed above, in May o~ 1992, the Planning Cammissian approved a Canditional Use Permit to allow the issuance ot a Type-47 alcohol license far a new restaurant to be located at 401 Santa Monica Pier. Planning staff has spQken to representatives from the Po~ice De- paztmEnt r~garding alcahal outlets an the Pier. With regard to - 5 - alcohal sales on the Pier in generai, Po~ice Department staff have stated that the majority af alcahol problems on the Pier and in the vicinity resuZt fram paople wha buy alcohol at an off-sale location and bring it to th~ Pier or the beach, rather than peo- ple who cansume a~cohal in Pier restaurants. Regarding the clos- ing time of Pier aicohal outlets, Police Department staff have stated that they da nat ha~e significant concerns abaut es- tablishments an the Pier being open until 2:00 A.M., although shorter h~urs of operatiQn typica~ly result in fewer disturban- ces. A fu11 complement of security personnel are on duty at the Iatest allowable c~osing tima. Appea~s As stated in the attaeh~d appeal form datad 09/O1/92 (Attachmen~ A}, the applicant appealed one of the Planning Commission condi- tions a~ approval. Hawever, since that t~me, the applicant's appeal has baen wi~hdrawn. The second appeal of the P3anning Commissian approval was filed on September 9, 1992, by Stephanie Barbanell (Attachment B). Ms Barbanell appeal~d the approvaZ based on her concern abaut the number of alcohol outlets within the area of the Pier, and her contention that the approval of the project violates portions of the Alcohol Outlet Section af the Zoning Ordinance. The appel- lant s~ates that there sho~ld not be any more a~cohol outlets in the area of the Pier based an ~he ABC def~nition of ove~con- centration which r~lates t4 the number o~ alcohol outlets in a - 6 - givan c~ns~s trac~ ~o the amount of crime. However, the ABC def- inition is a guideline which may be used by the ASC ta deny an alcohol Zicense, but denial is nat a requirement for the ABC or local jurisdictians. While the Zoning Ordinance daes nat contain a definition of "undue concentration", staff is recommending in the Citywide Alcahal Folicy that numeriaaZ Iim~ts, similar to the ones in effect an Main Street, be ~stablished for the 5anta Monz- ca Pzer and the Bayside District Spec~fic Plan area. The~e are tha areas whare, due to the high numbers of out o~ tawn visitors and the concentration of visitor-s~rving usss, there is a high demand for a large number of eating and drinking establishments and a pat~ntial for over concentration Qf a~cahoi outlets. A numerical limit is on~ way of deal~.ng with th~ potent~al af over- concerntration and has been uti].ized on Main 5treet and the Prom- enade. Hawever, as noted above, the Cottncil decided not ta adopt a limit ~ar the Pier unti~ a camplete Pier Master Plan is adopted, The appel.lant a~so raises several issues related to tha sa1.e and con~umption af alcohol and the impact of alcohol outlets on the health and safety of neighboring residents and the general populatian. Through the astablishment af a Citywide A~.cohol Policy, the Planning Commission and staff are reco~ending several amendmants to the alcohol sec~ion of the ~oning Ordinance to ensure that alcohol ou~lets are aperated in a 3manner not detrimental to surrounding residents. Furthermore~ the propased alcohol license is f~~ an establishment where alcoho~ would be - 7 - anci~Zary to the primary use as an entertainment and restaurant faci~ity. Conclus~on The RVC District standards of the Zoning Ordinance perm~t res- taurant and entertainment use5 on the Pier. The sa~e of alcohol would be anci~lary to the primary usa o~ the premises as a res- taurant and entartainment venue. Previous Council actions indi- cated a pa~icy af a case by case decision on new alCohol permits prior ta the adoption of a Pier Master Plan. In staff's view, no new evidence has baen present~d whi~h would lead staff to recam- mend approval of the appeal. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT The recammendatian presented in this report does not have any budget or fisca~ impact. RECOMMEN~ATI~N It is respectPully recommsnded that th~ Cvuncil d~ny the app~ai and approve Canditional Use Permit 92-028 and Reduced Parking Permit 92-4~3 with the findings and canditians contained in the Planni~ig Cammission Statement af Official.

This is a statem~n~f alcoha findi~s_~ with respect to the above mentioned locations far the purposes of recommending denial of item 8-D and 8-E permits. Dear Planning Commissioners; No new alcohal. outlets shou~d be ailowed on the Santa Moniaa Pier which is located in Census Tract 7019 and is located in 5anta Monica's Police Beat 2 for the following reasons: A. Total number of a~lowable on-sale alcohol outlets for the entire census tract is 3. The P~er contains 7 outlets already. (Those m~mbers should be reduced - if anything on pub~ic owned propert~.) B. The proposed alcoha]. outlet5 an the Pier wi21 adversely affect the welfare of the neighborhood in a significant manner in that the addition of any alcohoZ aut~ets wiZ]. contribute to the undue cdncentration of outlets on the Pier and in the ~mmediate area. It will add to the pre-existing t~emendous alcahal availabi~ity which in turn adds to the alcohoi cansumption and consequently to the alcohal related problems including violent crime, drunk driving and public nuisance. (See crime statistics.) C. The proposed alcohol outlety on the Pier will detrimentally affect nearby ne~ghborhoods consxdering the distance af the alcohol outlet to residential buildings on 5easide Terrace, Arcadia Terrace, Vincente Terrace, Seaview Terrace, The Promenade and Appian Way and considering the distance to other alcohol autlats on the Pier - and ta playgrounds (the carousel, the volley}aall court~, the beach parkland where the consumption af alcoho~ is a vio].atian of the 3aw and the twa children~s parks at the beach - adjacent to the pier.) D. Traffic and parking congestion w;ll result from granting any addi.tional alcahol cutZets and the reduction of parking spaces that are proposed. The Pier Restoration EiR was approved with over-riding consideration because the traf~ic impact could not itG~i~. Page II Planning Coma-ission nu~ uSt I9~ 1992 be mitigated. This is because that EIR determined that ten major int~rsections surrounding the Pier are already aperating at an "F~~ rating. Z, 000 seats ~.n Seat 2 night clubs will only add to the traffic and parking congestion. E. The additian of any more alcohol outlets would be in conflict with Land Use Element sections 1.2 and 1.2.4, and zoning ordinance sub-chapter 5J, sectian 9049.1 and therefore the objectives of the General Plan would not be secured. ~'. The public health, safety and general welfara are not protected due ta the fact that there is already undue concentration of aZcoho2 outlets in the ar~a where the Pier is 3acated. It is a high crime area in that 54.1~ abave the a~erage amount of crime per crime reporting district ~n Santa Monica occurs in Beat 2 in which the Pier fs lacated. Additiona].ly, 450~ above the average amount of alcohol arrests between the years 1987 and 1990 has occurred in that same crime reportinq Beat 2. Additionally~ as ger the Ietter of the director of the ABCts department to District Attorney Ira Reiner, there is no ABC enforcement of alcohol laws taking place currently. Also, the Cla_re Foundation, the lead a3caholic recovery organization, has determined that the additi.an of any more aZcohol outlets i.n Census Tract 7019 wou3d impede their ability to help their current case load. This would suggest that there is not ad~quate amaunt of po3ice protection or pu~lic health services to handie the pre- existing prablem and there can be no justification for allowing any further o~tlets. That wauld simply be poor land use planning and poor ecanomias. Additiona~ Considerations: 1. Cinco De Mayo festivities 1992, and 4th of Je~ly festivities at the Pier were cancelled due to budgetary considerations, specifically the crowd control management costs - This ~efore we have 1,~a0 more seats where alcoho~ may be served on the Pier. 2. The Thursday Night Cancsrt Seriss at the Pier that already provides free multi-cultural, blues and jazz offerings, creates a packed Pier whose eapacity ~ead is 6~,000 people and this ~ts without the two proposed restaurants that add 1,000 seats where a~cohal is served. ~1 U 'J ~. ; r Page III Planning Commission ~ugust 19, ~992 3. Fiscally, there exists no cost henefit analysis of the revenue benefits ~rom increased aZcahal sales campared to the cost of alcohol related services. However, based on the 1991 Las Angeles Caunty alcohol related services manual, for every dollar of alcohol revenue collected by the County of Los Angeles, it costs $172 in alcohol reZated services. 4. It is wholly inappropriate to have children's perfarmances where alcohol is being served. Included in this Pier alcahol fact finding report are the following attachments: 1.

Alcohalism is not j~~~ an intrapsychic~ ~ndivid~ai prablem. Alcoholism is a product of the drinker'Q rsl~tionship to, and inter~ctivn with, the immediat~ oammunity and frisnds, the workpl~ce and co-warkers, and society i~ gencral. Problem dritsking can be supported in the individual by soci~ty~s aft~n irrationa~ attftudes taward ~nd ignorance ~bvut alcvhol. Problem drinking is lrequent].y unintentio~a~ly supported by family, friends, co-WOrkers, employers, and others in tho drinker's ~ocial environment. Treditionally, w~ have thouqht of alcoho~ problems as the result of chronf~, excsasive cQnsumption of ~lcahol, Cirrho~is o~ the 7i~er ~nd many other heaith problems ara Iong-term results of this type of cansumption. Hawever, there ara many othar alcohol-re3ated prcb~ems which dre not ~aused by chronic ~xcessive use, but are assoaiated with the p1nG~ or ~ireurnstance o~ alcoho~ consumptivn. For example, research indicat~s that any consumpt#.en of alcohol by a pregnant woman may produce birth d~fect~s. Also, alcahal canrumption by a person who wi31 b~ driving ~n eutomobfle immed~a~tely alterward creates ~n unacceptable risk of harm to both himse~~ and others. Far these reasans, the deflnition o~ th~ rcope oP alcoho~~related prablems is being expand~d to include n~y drinkfng ~n hzgh ri~k sittzationr in additton to chranic, heavy drinkinq. INDIVIDUAL l1LCOHOL-REL74TED PRDBLEMB At the individual ~avel, alcohal is a factor in a broad range of probZems fncluding physica2, emotional, soc~.a,~, leqa~, and emplayment problems. Est~mates vf the numbera a! al~oholics and peQple with ~t].cohvl-rela~t~d groblem~ in th~s cauntry range from lD to is millian persona (We~t i984~ United Statas D~partment of Health and Human S~rvfces as83j Sacretary ot Health and Human Services 1386).

App~yinq this rati~ to County popul.ation estimates far 1990 indicates that abaut 87, 344 persons in thi~ age bracket are prablem drinkers.

Alcahol-ReZated Morta~.itv The tenter9 for D~sease Control has estimz~ted that ?~Q5~095 pe=~cns died from alcohol-related cause6 in 1987, which•aon~t~tutas 4.9 percent vf total national mortality (Centers for Disease Control 1990~. Of these 105,095 deaths, 65.8 percent were m~les. A~coh~l- related mortaZity eccaunted !or 6,3 ~ercent a~ all daa~ths amang ma3es and 3.4 percent of ~11 death~ amonq femaZQS in 1987.

L1U~~~J 6 In general, alcoh~l ie a centributinq factor in a variety of causes of injury and death, including liver disease, cancer, home and recreationa~ accidents, falls, tires, drownings, boating accidents, cri~e and violenae, suic~de, and motar vehicle crash~s. In Los Ange~es County, there were a tvtal of 2,195 alcohol-reiated deaths in 1488. Alcohol-~el.~ted Morbidity A~cahoZ is asaociated with e~ide vari~ty et medical and psychological pr~blems. BetWeen 25 and 50 p~rcent ot patients geen in an averagv general medical practice have significant medical and psychalogicaZ prob~~ms associ~ted with a~~cohal use (Miller st al, i~8~ f . The types ~~ h~a~th preDlems typ~calxy tound fn heavy drinkers includa lfver di~eases, particularly cirrhosis; di~$ases af the nervous, gastrofntestinal, and respiratory systems; heart and vascuZar diseases; cancers; metabolic a~nd immun~ ~ystem disorders; endocrine disorders; nutr~tional deficiencies~ poisaning; and injuries fram m~tor vehicle and other accidertts (NZAAA ~987).

In addatfon, ther! is substantfal alcoho3 asscciativn with certain neurotie personalities, other nonpsychat~c mental di~ordcrs, and drug abuse (stinson et ~1. 1986). Indiva,dual a~eohal-related probiem~ also result in problems for the family, the friends, and the community of the drinker. 51nce alcoho3-reZated problems are a product of the r~eiprocal relation~hip between drinker~ and the~r environments, the individua~ probxems also became fami}.y and community fssues. F]~3+IILY PRO$~EMS ~~ATED TO ~LCOHOL There is a compiex rela~ionship bet~een alcohol ~rici disrupted tami~ies. Alcohol i~ i.nvoivad ia one-third of child mo~estation incidentg, approx~mately ane-faurth to one-half o! marit~l violence incident~, ~nd in 13 percent of reported child abuse cases (Bowen 19B8; Roizen ~982; iiamilton and Colliris ~981). Estimates of the concurrQnt inc~dence af a3ca~~l problems and ~amily violence range fram 25 to 85 perCent of tha fam~lies studfed (Roy i977; Katz 1982; F~anzer 1984; Harn~r 1987}. Rather than a aause and effect relatfonship, aicohoZ-re3atad family vialence is s~en ~~ a synergistic iritsraction of the twc. }~rpblems (Flanzer ~984). Research evidence suggests that divarce and separr~tfon zates among ~Icoholics ars sev~n times higher than 3.n the ~enera3 populatior~ {Paol~no and I~ioCrady a977) . 7 ~r+ l!`` r ' ry 13 V ".~ l.r ~ althouqh it is not docvmented fn tha rQSearch, ~ne cf tha ~ost severe alcahol-rel~tad prcblem~ af ~ectinq tamilies is their denial o! a3cahol ~s a prablem. In many instances, prob~em drinkers are aale to Continv~ destructive drinki~q patterns because famfly members unintentionally ~upport and a~si~t them. Refusinq to acknaw~edge alcohol as a pra~3em can perpetuate dys~unation in families and at~act the eoc~ai and emotional dev~lopment of childr~n. Family alcoho~-related prabiems may beqin before birth. Fetal A~cahoZ 5yndrom~ (FASj ~s a distinct ~attern of phys~~a~ and behavicre~ enomalie~ which can occur in children of wom~n who d~ink ~lcoho3 during pregqancy. The health effects o~ maternal drinking on the deve~opinq fetuc include neurolaqical, behnvioral, skeletal, mprpho~ogical, and devQlopmenta~ disorders, inoluding ~ental retarda~ion. Accordinq to the Natfonal Institute of Alcoholism and A~aohol Abuse (NIAAA 19B3) , FAS is one of the l~adi~ng causes o~ birth detects, and t2ie only one th~t ~s campletely graventable. The United States Fublic Hea3th Service estimates that of the 3.5 miilion babies born f.n 198~, mor~ than one mill~on ware born to women who drank during pregnancy. ~.`he Vnited State~ Surgeon General (1381) has warned that any consumption of alcnholic be~erages during pr~gnancy may be dang~zaus to tho letus, He has adviged women who a~e pregnant (or considering pregnnn~y) nat to drfnk alcoholic beverages and to be ~-war~ of the ~lcohalic content of ~oods and drugs. Re~earoh shows that the risk of low bixth weight, irrit~bility, and other developmental problems fs hiqher e~en when pregna~nt women dririk only moderately (Little, 1977: Streissguth et al. 1982). Growing up it~ an a~.caholic home may have lor~g-term efrects on childr~n. There are an estimatsd 28.6 million chiidren of ~~ct ~~• 1 ics. 6. 5 miilivn of whom are under the age ot is . Research on chi].dren of alcoholic~ is re3atively new, and is limit~d by methodological and ethical concex-r~s abaut samples. In a raview o~ the awaiZabZe literature, Wood~ide (398Z} noted studfes which suggest lawer s~Zf-esteem, heightsn~d saciai nggrassion, and increa6ed ~motional d~tachment among children ot t~ICcholics. Co1~a~pN~TY !-ND 80CiETAL PRO8LEM8 R~LATED TO ~-LCOHCL F~mily and indiv~dual alcohol-related problems have ~- cumulative neg~tive impact on co~unities end an socie~y-at-larg~. The costs af alcahe~.-re2ated prab~ems can be exgressed quantitatfvely in economic terms. Quali~tatively, the co~ts m~y b~ astimated ~by con~iderinq the role v~ alcohal in aur eociety~ and considering the human costs experiencrd by ~~milies and individuals which cannot and ~hould not b~ reduced to econamic values. The cc+sta of alcohol-rel~ted problemz in th~s cauntry were nppraximate~y $115 billion in i983 (Research Tri~ngle ~nstitute 19$5). These cvs~s include approximatQly $71 billion in lost productivity and ~mployment, $18 billivn in excess mcrtality, $14 +•rr B t! U 'J . ; ~ bill~on in h~alth oare costs, and $12 b~llian in property ~oss and ~ crxme (Mo~kowitz 1989}. One sovrce estimates that two dollars of soeia2 eostB result from every retail dc~lar spent on ~Icahalic bev~rages {Moshsr 1967). These social eo~t~ are fncurred by all consumarr, ~ot just thase directly atlected by alcohnl-related problems. Taxpayers, businesses, anfl policyhnldera af insurance companies ar~ rome o~ tha groups affected. ~ccerd~rig to the Research Trianqla ~nst3tute (1985), the costs of alcahal-related problems in 1983 were distributed ~n the followinq manner. • Fifty-nine percent ($68 b~ilion) was absorbed by individu~is with alcahoi-related problems and their families. • Thirty-three percent ($38 biliiony was p~~d by government ceurces, with 23 percent ot the tota-1 paid by the xedera~ government, and l0 percent by etate nnd ~oaa~ gavernmer-ts . ~ Eight percent (~9 billiony was paid by insuranc~ ccmpanies on 3ife and heaZth insurr~nce cl.aim~. Reduced praductfvity at home and in the workp~~-ce accounted tor approxi~ate2y $63 biliSon (5~ percent) o~ th• tota~. estim~eted costs. This category represents the largest single area of cast, and suggests other ~lacho~-reZated costs ta society th~t tt~e not rsadily apparerit. The estimate o~ reduced productivity costs is based on the lower earnings af work~r6 with a~.cohol~rel~ted prob2ems. Decreas~d praductivity results in increased casts !or business and industry, and may be passed on ta cansumer~ thraugh hiqher prices, ~ower wages, arrd redticed prafits. The estimate prov~.ded does not considQr theae ~actors. Tr~ftic acc~d~nts and ~~.].nesses related ~o alcvhol represented 12.3 percant ($Z3 bi.~lfon) nnd 8.5 percent (59.7 billfon) ct the totA1 costs, respect~vely. Crime and in~ur~es ather than trattic aacidents togethsr accounted for approximately $8 billion a~ total costs, or seven percent ench. Fet~1 Alcohal Syndrome represented S4 bfllion, or 3,6 percent of the total eosts. Approximately $4.4 bi~.lion was spent in 1983 for alcohoi recovery and treatmant serv~ces. Private insur~nct, ledert~l, state, an~ local qovernments paid over 90 ~ercent of these costs. Econc~rnic_Impa~t or Alcohol-Related Prob~ems in Lcs Anae~es Countv In 198~, the Los Anqeles County Chief Administrative Office released the seventh edition in a sarae~ o! reports on the es+'mated cost of alcohol-r~~ate~ problems to the Los Angeles ~~~,nty gavernment. The report estimate~ the cast a~t $32D~188,Z5Q, ~hich represented an iner~ase of 47 percent tram the fiqures in fihe (,~ r ~3+a r • a~ ~~i'~ .•~' 1980-81 stu~y. This xncrense may have been due, fn part, to a gr~ater awarQne~z about aleahnl-rel~ted p~Qbl~ms~ and tv improved methods o~ reporting alcaho?-~el~ted co~ts. The report sug~ested thnt the rise in Costs was also due ta incre~sad e~f~cts nf a~caho~-related grab3emC on County ~esidentc. Th• larg~st parcentage inarea~e in expenditures aceurrad in the Of~ice o€ the DistriCt Attarney (219 percent). The Yarqest doliar increase was reparted by the Department of Pub~~c Social Services ($60.3 million~. Both departments attributed the cost increase ta more alcohax-r~lbted cases. These e6t3mates retlect the e~cpenditures of Caunty qo~ernment in o~f~ces af the crim3n~~ ~~stice syst~m and in otrier departments such as Hea~lth Services and 1}ub~ic 5ocial Services.

In summary, alcohol-related probl~mr are ~ gunction of the reciprocal rel~+tionship between individua~s ar~d their environment and are de~ined as tndividual, fa~nily, and community prohlams. These problems may be the result af chron3c, excessive cansumptian, or any consumption in a high risk ~nvironment. Alcohe~-related problems have ~ major i~apact on our society.

On the ot~he: hand, ~e are encouraged, conditianed and indactrinated to develop a taste and sub sequent neeci £or alcoholic beverages, especially in recrea~iana~ settings.

The defense is clear. We, again, as aquatic educators, must infornt our c~u~uutmities abflut the hazard of immersion in comgaratively cold wat~r. A most effective, and ragid method of doing this, is ~o deputize your st~dents.

It aids developing ski7.~ and confidence. in canparatively warm water it can save his or her li~fe. However, in evaZuating its effe~tiveness there are two important conszderatzons. Why isn'~ he or sne wearing a PFD in the first pla~e? Secondl.y, suppose the persan in the water has more than marginal swi~mning skills, is drownproofing 'the re~o~anended course? I do not be~.i.sve so. Again, an}-ea~e wha ran relax in ti~e water { i. e. , a swi~ner) and float face down, should be able to float a~, their back when clothed, with ~gprecxab3.e portians of the~r great~st heat Ioss area (i.e., head, ner_3c and fate) o~t af the water. The reascm, hydrostatic press~re ancreases with dep~h. If a persan is vertical in the water, pressure is greatest vn their feet and legs. Air irt these reg~ons is forced ugward and out. Hawever, by back floating, and att~yting a motionless harizanta~ attitude, overall water pressure ~ the boc~y is greatly reduced. Air escapes s~aw2y, rhereby praviding more flotation and insvlation ~a a non-maving persan. Shoe and watertight boot toes, especially in hip or ~hest waders, wi11 trap and hald air ~or ~.a~g periods if the practiced warer quic.kly brings them to the surface. HQ,P AI~ID H[JDDLE If you should i,aaexpec~edly find youxsel£ in the water, and you are wearing a personal flotatian device, the foll.owing is recaa~mended, Shou~d you decide not to ~ry ta swim for shore and ~~nnot get into a swamped ~anoe or boat, (notice the preferred pracedure is not to hang an to the bottaa~, bu~ rather to atteartp~ to righ~ a smaZZ ~raft~ then try I3,.E,..T~,,P.

In teaching nan-swi~ers, I estimate ~hat 3 o~rt of 4 are afraid to place their faces in the water. This may be based on chil~ood fixatian zvhereby a mather attp~~~ts to scrub the chi~dts face wzth a cold, wet washc3oth. The child's struggling is nat recagnized by the mother as an attG~~Yt to br~athe. Thereafter ths ~hild is made fear~ul ~y having his or her face in water. To overcome this I rec~~ay~end that a non-sw~i~~er first becoa~e used to repeatedly placfng their face in a snall bawi af warm water. Next, they leam to hold their breath as lang as possi~Ie and aisa to blow bubb~es in the water, When they can comfortably do this, they are ready to leam to swim. 3. I believe that anyone who can swim ~ a~so float an their back. Musc~e tensian and regularity of hreathi.ng have de~inite eff~ct~ ~n floating. Relaxing af muscles and expansian of the J.~gs decreases the body's specific gra~ity, and a relaxed swi~ner floats. Canversely, ~rregalar, shal~owr breathing plus anxiety re~ated £~exing of the museles increases specific gravity, and the n~-s~ai~rmer or the aistressed swi~rsr-er does not float. Chronic sinkers also tend t~ exhale as they go be].aw the surface. A person who has dif~icu~ty floating shauld attp~~ t to relax as much as possible, inha~e deegly, and hold their braath. They should thert roll into a tight bail, this wi1l positive~y effe~t their buayancy, enabl.ing floaticm with the bac?c above the waterTs surface. After experience and con£idence is gained in this positica~, the relaxed swinaner is then ready to att~~t back flotation. Narmally, a pexson not used to back flaating may su~~er discomfort through water in th~ nose. Hence, nose clips are r~quired. Next, campletely inflate th~ ~ungs and try relaxed flaati.ng an the back. The ar;ns should be floated as far above the head as posszble, wi.th the back arr.hed and the chin rol~ed away from the chest. The feet and iegs may begin to sink in this atti'~ude. How•ever, by increasing the arch of the back and rolling the head further backkards, sinking motion ~f the feet and legs can be countered. Breathing in this attitude is the same explosive tec}mique Used in dro~.~proof~ng. I have raught swi~ers wfio ~ou~d not athen+rise back float, ta fill their lungs ~arg~~teiy, ~end backwards in ~he water and grasp their ankzes. Althot~~~ ~his is undoubtedly an w~us~a~ aq~atic pasition - they floatf On~e they a~cept their ability to do even this, ~hey should be able to progress toward back flflating whi~e fuYly clothed. 4, In many nat3onally acc~pted aquatic safery courses, participants are conditioned to remove clothi.ng in th~ water. This is done ~ither to rescue others ar to form a~lotation aid for the indiv~dua~. Here the emphasis should again rest on making th~ survival proced~re appiic~b3e ta the situation. Satisfactary flo~ting withaut rem~ving any ~lo~hing, thereby insuring insu~atio~ and air ent~~~,ment, should be taught and attca~~~,ted befare disrobing. 9. ~ r ~, ~ ~ ~ U Lu 'J ,i ~) ".

It is illegal to driue with a BAG of .08% (.04~ i# yau have a commercial driver license), Even a BAC ~elaw .08~6 does no# mean that it is safe ar lega! to ~rive. The charts show the BAC zones far yarious numbers of drinfcs and t~me periads. HOW TO USE ~HESE CHRRTS: Find the chart that Encludes yaur weight. Look at the total ~umber of drinks you have had and campar~ that #o the time shown. You can quickly #ell i~ you are af risk of being arrested.* ~f your BAC levef is in the grey zone, your chances of havtng an accident are 5 times higher than if you had no drinks, and 25 times higher i# your BAC level falls into the black zone, *VC 23f 52~ 11C 23153, VG 23140 DUl/Dnwng under t~e influence o~ alcahol and/or drugs.

REMEMBER: "One drink" is a 12-ot~nce beer, or a 4-aunce glass o~ wine, or a 1'/~-ounce shat af 80-praaf liquor (even if it's mixed with nan-alco~alic dr~nks). !f you ~ave larger or stronger drinks, or drink on an empty stomach, you can be UNSA~E WiTH FEWER DRINKS.

I Further Issues for the Pier Restoration EIR Scoping Session. The conditional use permits for the nine praposed alcohol outlets of the Santa Monica Pier ~ust not be sandwiched into the EIR approval Process. Separate hearings and the appropriate notification for each and every CUP for a~cohol on the Pier must be conducted. The methodology devised by the planning department in establishing their findings far Alcohol CUP's must incl~de a crime statistic analysis af crime reporting district or Beat 2 and its 3 sub-beats. This needs to be the case in order to conform with the standards set forth in the ABC department rule 61.3 - The Undue-concentration Rule. The necessity of havi~g a consistent city and state definition and policy toward undue-concentration should be self-evident in the granting of land use perrnits and alcohol licenses. Input fram 3ifeguards, police, garamedics, Santa Monica and St. John's Hospital Emergency Physicians, Clare Foun~atian, Santa Monica High SchooZ Administrators and the Superintendent of the Santa Monica, Malibu School District (The Pier is with 3,Oa0 feet af the Santa Monica High School) must be solicited in order to adequately assess impacts of increased alcohol availability at the pier on the surrounding neighborhood and community at large that is in census tract 7019 where the Pier is located. Census tract 7~19 currently is an area of und~~- cancentration as defined by the California Alcohol Beverage Contral department because it contains 102+ alcohal outlets and contains 183$ above the average amount of crime that is found in the other crime reporting districts citywide. Please offer an explanation of why the proposed family restaurant required any alcohol license let alone a fu11 distilled spirits, typa 47 license. Alcohol in a family restaurant promotes the possibility of drinking and driving and puts child passengers at risk. The practice runs contrary to the health, safety and welfare of ch~ldren. Presumably the "Fun Zone" located on the Pier is designed to include children and teens who are beiow the drinking and driv~ng age. The praposed Fun Zone is surrounded by four L~-k~l~~T 3~ ~- ~• i~uu~ `~ alcohol outlets and the passibility of ni~e plus proposed additiona~ outlets. This is counter to the Ca3ifarnia State Attorney Generalts goals of creating DRUG FREE ZONES as outlined in the enclosed materials (once again consider the Pier's proximity to the high school). The city must role- mode~ the concept of fun witho~t drugs; to do otherwise is to be entirely socially irresponsible. There is na public necessity to drink alcaho3ic beveraqes! Econamic benefits derived from the tax revenues callected in alcohal sales are overwhelmingly over-shadowed by the alcohol re~ated service cost to th~ community. Public convenience is more than satisfied by the 102+ alcohol outlets that already exist in the ,6 mila are known as census tract 7ols. The Pier is located in census tract 7019, as I have already mentioned, and the ABC Department recommended number of on-sale outlets for the entire area is three. 20,400 drinkers can currently be accommodated by those outlets.* How many people daes the City of 5anta Monica Planning staff and EIR consultants think should be drinking and driving? How will yau advise the Planning commission? How will you measure the negative impacts of the potential drinking and driving that will result from increased alcahol availability on the Pier? Finally, it is illegal by 5anta Monica~s municipa3 code to drink alcoholic beverages on the beach in Santa Manica. Why is it ~egal to dr~nk alcohol above the beach? People wha go into the water and have been drinkinq a3cohol increase their risk of drowning: Parents who have been drinking have impaired their j~dgement during a time when they need to be supervising their chi~dren's beach and swimming activities - placing a greater, yet avoidable, d~mand on ~ifeguards and putting chiZdren at risk. Who are the chi~d advocates in Santa Monica City government? In the absence of a city health department, how are health impacts for the purpose of the Pier Restoration project to be determined? What means exists to measurably assess the health risks and negative impacts of the proposed Pier Restoration Pro~ect ir~creases in alcohol availability on the public? What measurable, objective criteria referenced data will be'~dent~.fied and gathered fvr the purpose of the EIR to make that assessment? 1.=,~C~ ~ ~3 ~T 3 ~ • 3 ~' c~ r ~ ~~ ~.` ' ~ , , ` ~~ i s-r, ~ ~ _ _ .-- _ ~~~ w~d~ $t-ec~.kc~oc~on c~~ A 1 eoho~ O~+Ie-~-s ~y Ty~~ b.ti'1 d ~r ~ g t n a I Da~+e.s o~' l~r I C o h a I !~~ C~n 5~.~s,s ~o~n C e. . ~. ~ s~ev~~. -- -- ---~~kncx~n 1R~oo~. ~ g7o's E58o~g~! 1,g85 9~~_ ~ Gup _ r~t~~. ~e ~, _ _ _ . ~~_ _ ~i g 1'~ __~3 ~/-- ~ ~s ~~.x~_ ~ 7 ~ _ 3 `~ ~J~` _35~ '~. r~ ~t~ r~ ~'~ ~ 1 ~YPc 'f .'~, ~tr"~ ~ 7 -~ - -- 3 ~ ~ 3 - - - -~ - -- - - -- - - - - ~'• ~_ ~ _I_-3 -----~ --___ ~.6 ~ 5 $_ ~ _~ O ~ --- -- ~~ - .-__ _ _ _ - -- -- ---- -- ---- -- - - -- -- - --- - --- ~..__ _ ~ _ _ 3 _ ~ G p C~ o~. - --- _-- ---- - -- - - - - -- - --- -- - -- -------- I ~ ----- - -- ~ - - - - ~~ - - - -- -- - - --- - -- - - - ----- - - `~ _C~ - - ~- ~~ -- ~3 __ ------ -- - -- °7b - _ -- -- ~2~ ~~~5+ ~rL ~ 0 _ 1 _ -- - - - l -- - - - --- a - -~ -- ---- -~ ~ ! ~. ~fr~- .~ ~' ~ - - - 6 - - - - ° --- ° ~ T~r~~~ I_ d 3 ~'__ -_ D a s 3 ~~ 7r ____ ~ g~ '~` A~ i u Ak Ta i A~ L I C~.-~C~.S ~ 2ti r Mc~rS ~ r+ a~~2c.r~ ~..~ ss n~x~r*- ~°~~ • Ct~svs T'R.~ c T' ?019 B/~s~D o~ f~~ e- pc~--, t-?I~ Rc t~- 19 ~ l ~'~ ~ n~- a c1T ~X~ !S ~ T S ~,. 1 ~ 3~q~ •^ r+ r .. ~~ ~ . ~ 1 1 ~ ~C 1""~ ~ -i ~ ( d ~~ l.~ ~l/ ~I'T ~ ~i ~ S ! ~ F3 ~ 1 ~J ~ ~ ~ ~- ~~ 1"'~ ~% L Q LJ 1 ~^{.- ~ J ~v i~ s~.7 r_ . ~ tir' E~ ~r v 1`~ j nia RS -.C3 v i Y t G a t= L 1 ~- ~~v ~~ ~`!P~ 2.0 ~F~ -51~ ~C ~~12a- c.~1 c Nr ~ T ~( P~ aZ 1 C~~r=-SA~F ~ ~-u~~-R.~i TYP~ `#o ~p~, -s,4c_e 8~~ TY PE ~ I ~ p~; - sA c..E ~le{ l..J~OJG~ `~I Pc '~ '7 ~ e~_s~c.,~ ~-~~~ ~ BoN~ -~+oC ~~1N~~ ry PF u ~ P~i~i, ~ ~ ~~ ~~s 6~`z.l~~~'~~ ~'' ~ ~ f~ C-c 4. _~ ~ r1 oV ~ I~~~ 2.

The Civic Center is the seat af Local, County~ and State Gcvernment Agenciss. It should serve as a role-madel area reflecting the values and priorities of our comn~unity. BACRGRQIIND STATEMENT 1984: Residents of Sea~iew Terrace formed a Neighbarhood Watch under the guidance of the Santa Monica Polica. 1985-1991: To date, lo0~k of the properties on Seaview Terrace have been robbed o~r burglarized. Many residents have had multiple burg~aries and r~bberies ,~n s~ite of an active Neiqhborhood Watch because there is no police patro~ af the private easement and inadequate deterrence v€ crime in the area. 1989: Resident/Homeowners of Seaview Terrace was formed to become more knawledgable and protective of our rights given the impacts of the tremendous amaunt af development in our immediate vicinity. ~99Q: I was appointed to the Civic Center Specific Plan Advisory Committee {CCSPAC) by Mr. John Jalili to serye as the representative of this 5eaview Terrace Group to this committee. I and my neighbors have first- hand experience cancerning the development of our area -- and the impacts to the livability of our neiqhbarhood. 1991: A resident of 5eaview Terrace is killed in an unsiqnaled O~ean Avenue cross-walk south af the Loew's Hotel. Since the beginning of this process, my goal has been to assure that this adjoining residential area would be protected, preserved, and considered throughaut this CCSPAC process and that this Civic Center would remain an area that the entire citizenry of Santa Moniaa would find as a safer, c~eaner area than it is currently. -1- ~~ ~~ ~ ,~-~ "' t To that end, I wi31 support any and all efforts to keep open spaces as they are cr support increases of open qreen spaces -- ar~ wi31 encaurage, remodellinq and/or renovatinq of existing spaces - - as wel.l as encauraqe underqraund development. With regard to pu~lic ~telfare and safety, I have presented alcohol availability findings for census tract 7109 {which is where the Civic Center is located} to the Advisory Caminittee and am now re- submittinq these findings far inclusion in the appendix se~tion of this doewaent along with other updated alcohol information pertinent to the Civic Center Area.

In regard ta alcohol sales on the Pier in general, Police Department staff have stated that the majority of alcohol problems on tha Pier and in the vicinity result fra~ people who buy alcohol at an off-sale lacation and bring it to the Pier or the beach, rather than peo- ple who consume alcohol in Pier restaurants. Regarding the clos- ing time of Pier alcohol outlets, Police Department staff have stated that they do not ha~e significant cancerns about es- tablishments on the Pie~ being open until 2:00 A.M., althaugh shorter hours of operation typical~y result in fewer disturban- ces. The number of Police personnel in the field decreases at 3:OD A.M. and the number of Harbor Patro2 personn~l decreases at 4:d0 A,M. Therefore, a full complement of security persannel are on duty at the latest allowable closing time. P3anning staff is recammending the standard condition of approval which limits alcohol sales to 35~ of the es~ablishment's gross revenue. In this case, the establishments grass revenue would include revenue generated from the sale of event tickets and caver charges. Canclusion The RVC District standards of the Zaning ~rdinance permit res- taurant and entertainment uses on the Pier. The sale of alcohal would be ancil~ary to the primary use of the premises as a res- ta~rant and entertainment venue.
