SR-7-C (5)LUTP~I:PB:DKW:DM/CCSR9226.pcword.plan Council Mtg: Oc~abar I3, ].992 ~~ 0 CT i 3 ~9~Z Santa Monica, Ca~.ifornia T0: Mayor and City Cauncil FROM: City Staff SUBJECT: Conditiona~ Use Permit and Reduced Parking Permit ta allow the aperation of a 7,068 square foot, 376-seat cabaret and restaurant with a Type-47 (an--sale general~ alcohal licensa at 25o Santa Monica Pier. Conditional Use Per~-it 92-026 Reduced Parking Permit 92-002 Applicant: Ash Grove Enterpris~s/City of Santa Monica Appellant: ~t~phanie Barbane~l INTR~DUCTION This repart recommends that the City Council deny the appeai and uphold the Planning Commission's approval af Conditional Use Per~it 92-026 and Reduced Parking Permit 92-042. BACKGROUND The propos~d project will occupy 6,104 square feet of f~aor area with%n the exis~ing Bi13.iard Building and 964 square feet af aut-- door patio space adjacent to the building. The cabaret/ restaurant wiil have a total af 376 seats znclud~ng a 25-seat lunch cafe, a i0-seat bar, a 35-~seat pr~.vate room, 66 autdoor patio seats and a 240-seat main cabaret/restaurant room. Seating in the main room will ba ariented in a ca~aaret configuration, directed toward a 200 square foot ~tage in the southwest corner o~ the faci~ity. A 300 square foot kitchen and a 160 square fQOt bar will be iacated in the northwest corner af the facility. ~~ - 1 - Q~~ ~ ~ i~~~ The 2,1~2 square faot second floor of the pra~ect wil~ cantain a 35-seat private banquet r~om, restrooms, a dressing room, starage space and an office. An elevator ~aill be installed ta pro~ide handicap access to the secand flaor. The portion af the ~acility over the stage and cabaret seating area features a high ceiling with no second f~oor space. Exterior madificatians to the bui~ding wi11 be limitad to new signage and awnings, relacated daors and windows, and autdoor dinzng. Thase improve~ents wi~l be subj~ct to the revi~w and appraval of the Landmarks Commission. In March of 1990, the Zoning Administrator granted an Administra- tive Approval to a~~ow the renavation of the existing Billiard Bui~ding at 250-258 Santa Monica Pier. The remodel included in- teriar and exterior improvements to the building. The two exist- ing restaurant tenants (the CroGan and Anch4r and Santa Monica Seafood) reap~ned in th~ building follvwing the remodel. ~x- terior improvements were also made to the portion of the building where the Ash Grave is to be located. In April of ~992, the City Council appraved the Santa Monica Piet Development project, which included renavatian of some existing Pier buildings and addition of the Fun Zone. The shared parking analysis contained in the Environmental Impact Report certified by the City Council for the Pisr Deve~opment Praject concludad that th~re would be app~oximately 68,085 square feet of res- taurant/entertainment spa~e and a total of approximately 2,270 - 2 - restaurant s~ats associated with the redevelaped Pier. This num- ber included considerat~vn o€ the Ash Grove and Sinbad~s proj- ects. The parking analysis stated that th~re is currently ade- quate parking available to m~et the parking demand fflr the new restaurants and ente~tainment uses. A Cond~tional Use Perm~t and Reduced Parking Permit fo~ Sinbad's are the subject of a separate ac~ion, also pending befare the City Council. In May of 1992, the City Council appraved an Alcoholic Beverage Servioe Policy Statement ~ar the Santa Maniea Pier. While the proposed policy ~tatement recom~ended by the Pier Restoratian Corporation included a limit on the number of alcoha~ ~utl~ts ta be permitted on the Piar, the Council's action did not set a numerical limit, but stated that each alcohol p~rmit applicatian should be reviewed on its own merits, until a Pier Master Plan is adopted. 4n August 2b~ 1992, the Planning Comm~ssion approved a Condition~ al Use Permit and Reduced Parking Permit to aliaw the issuance of a Type-~7 alcahal license ~or the Ash Grove. The Commission ap- proved the praject by a vote of four to ane, with one Commis- sioner absent and one Cammissianer abstaining. ~n August 27, 1992, the app~icant appea~ed one of the Planning Commzssion's conditions of apprava~, and on Septembe~ 9, 1992, Stephanie Bar- bana~l appealed tha o~erall appraval o~ the pra~ect. - 3 - ANALYSIS Reduced Parking Permit Cade required parking far the propassd cabaret/restaurant would be 17.0 spaces based on a ratio of one space for every 5t3 aquare feet of bar area and one space for every 75 sqtaare feet a~ res- taurant area. The applicant has applied far a Reduced Parking Perntit to alJ.ow ~~edLiGt].on of the required nu~¢ber of parking spaces ]oased on the fact that shared parking is characteristic of the Pier and the adjacent beach 1ots. The Environm~ntal Impact Report certi~ied by the City Council for the Pier Develapment Project included a parking analysis which cor~cluded that there ar~ enough existing parking spaces to accommodate the existing demand from the Pier, as we11. as the damand which would be gener-- ated by the Ash Grove and S~nbad's proj~cts. Th~r~ ar~ currently 1,210 parking spaces that serve the Pier, with 272 spaces in the Pier sux~face parking lot, 75 spaces at 1640 Appian Way, 706 spaces at 1550 Pacific Coast Highway, and 157 spaces at 7.440 Pacific Coast Highway. The EIR concludes that the existing peak parking demand far the Pier is 939 spaces, and that tha parking demand far the Ash Grove and Sinbad's would be 101 spaces for a totai of 1,044 space. This results in a surplus of ~70 spaces. During the ev~nings, whi.ch are expected to be the peak demand periad far the subject facil~.ty, there are substan- tial parking resources available due to the Iack of beach parking demand. Based on these calculations, staff is recammending ap- praval of the Reduced Parking Permit. - 4 - Alcohol License According to the list of alcohol Iicenses in the City of Santa Monica as of May 11, 1992, published by the ABC, within a 500' radius of the sita, there ~s one Type-4~ (on-sale beer) license, five Type-41 (on-sa~e beer and wine) licenses and two Type-47 (on-sale gene~al) licenses. These include the following: Type 40 (On-Sale Beer) Mermaid Cafe (42 seats) ~557 Ocean Front Walk Type 41 (4n-Sa1e Beer and Wine for Eating Place) 5M Pier Seafaod Surf View Cafe American Grill Jack's an the Pier Big Daan's Cafe (I15 seats) 258 Santa Monica Pier (80 seats} 330 8anta Monica Pier (36 seats) 378 Santa Monica Pier (58 sEats) 390 Santa ~onica Pier (6~ seats) 1513 Ocean Front Walk Type 47 (On-Sa~e General for Eating Place) Boathouse Restaurant (332 seats} 3~1 Santa Monica Piar Crowr- and Anchor (114 seats} 25~ Santa Manica Pier In addition to the outlets list~d above, in May of 1992, the Planning Commission appraved a Canditional Use P~rmit ta allow the issuance of a Type-47 a~cohol license for a new restaurant ta be located at 401 Santa Monica Pier. PZanning s~af~ has spoken to representatives from the Pa~ice De- partment regarding alcahol outlets an the Pier. With regard ta _ ~ _ alcohol sa~es on the Pier in general, Police Department staff have stated that the majority o~ alcohol problems on the Pier and in the vicinity result from peopl~ ~ho buy ~~cohol at an off~~ale location and bring it ta the Pier or the beach, rather than peo- ple who consum~ alcohol in Pier restaurants. Regarding the clos- ing time of Pier alcahol autletsR Police Departm~nt staff have stated that thay do not hav~ significant cancerns about es- tab~ishments an th~ Pier being apen until 2:Oa A.M., althaugh shorter haurs of operation typically result in f~wer disturban- ces. A full camplement af security personnEl are an duty at the latest allowable c~osing time. Appeals As stated in ~he attached appeal form dated 09/O1/92 (Attachmen~ A), the applicant appealed one of the Planning Commission condi- tions af approval. Howe~er, since that time, the applicant's appeal has been withdrawn. The secand app~al of the Planning Com~ission approva~ was filed on September 9, 1992, by Stephanie Barbanell (Attachment B). Ms. Bar~an~l~ appealed the approvaZ based on her canaern about the number of alcohol autlets within th~ area of th~ Pier, and her contention that the approva~ af the praject vio~ates partions of the Alcohol Outlet Section af the Z~ning Ordinance. The appel- lant ~ta~es that there should not be any more alcohal outlets in the area of the Pier based on the AHC definition of overcan- cantration which relates the number of alcohal autlets in a given census tract to the amount of crime. However, the ABC de~inition - 6 - is a guideline which may be used by the ABG to deny an alcahol license, but denia~ is not a requirement far the ARB or for local jurisdictions. While the Zoning Ordinanae daes not aontain a definition of "undue concentration", staff is recominending in the Citywide Alcohal Palicy that numerical limits, similar to the ones in effect an Main Street, be ~stablished for the Santa Moni- ca Pier and the Bayside District Specific Plan area. These are the areas where, due to th~ high nt~mbers of out of town visitors and the concentratian of visitar-serving uses, there is a high demand for a Iarg~ numbar of ~ating and drinking establish~aents and a patential for aver concentration of alcohal out~.ets. A numerical limit is one way of dealing with the potential af over- conc~ntratian and has been utilized on Main Street and the Prome- nade. However, as nated above, the Caunci3. decided not to adopt a lir~it for the Pie~ un~il a complete Pier Master P~an is adopted. The appel~ant also raises several issues related ta the sale and consumption of alc~h~l and the impact af alcahol outlats on the health and safety af neighboring residents and the general populatian. Thraugh ~he estab7.ishment of a Citywide Alcohol Policy, the Planning Cammissian and staf~ are recommending sev~ral amendments to the alcohol section of the Zoning Ordinance to ensure that alcohol autlets are operated in a manner not detrimenta~. to surrounding residents. Furthermore, the proposed alcahol iicense is for an establishment where alcohol would be ancil~ary ta the pri~t-ary use as an entertainment and restaurant facility. _ ~ _ Conclusion The RVC Di~triat standards of the Zoning O~dinance permit res- taurant and entertainment uses on the P~er. The sale vf alcoho~ would be ancillary to the primary use of the premises as a res- taurant and entertainment v~n~e. Pre~ious Counci~ actions indi- cated a palicy af a case by case decision on new alcahol permits prior to the adoption of a Pier Master Plan. ~n staff's view, na new evidence has been presented c~hich wauid lead staff to recom- mend approval the appeal. SUDGET~FINANCIAL IMPACT The recammendatian presented in this report does not have any budget or fiscal impact, RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recammended that the Council deny the appea~ and approve Conditional Use Permit 92-025 and Reduced Parking Permit 92-002 with the findings and conditions contained in the Planning Commission Sta~ement of Official Action (Attachment C).

This is ~ 5tate~ent~f alcohQl~findi~s___ with respect to th~ above mentianed ~.aeations for the purposes af recommending denial of item 8-D and 8-E penuits. Dear Planning Commissioners: No new alcohol outlets should be allowed or- the Santa Monica Pier which is located in Census Tract 7U~9 and is located in Santa Mvnica's Police Beat 2 for the foZlowing reasans: A. Total number o~ all~wable an-sale a].coho~ outlets far the entire census tract is 3. The Pier cantains 7 autlets already. (Those nu~bers should be reduced - if anything on public owned property.) B. The proposed alcohol outlet~ on the Pier will adversely affect the welfare of the neighborhood in a significant manner in that the addition of any aicohal outlets wili contribute to the undue concentration of outlets on the Pier and in the zmmediate area. It wi].I add to the pre-existing tremendous a~cohol availability which ~n turn adds to the alcohol consumption and consequently to the alcohal related problems including violent crim~, drunk driving and public nuisance. (See cr~me statistics.) C. The proposed alcohvl outlets on the Pier will detrimentally affect nearby neighborhoads considering the distance of the alcohol outlet to ~es,idential buildings on Seaside Terrace ~ Arcadia Terrace, Vincente Terrace, Seaview Terrace, The Pramenade and Appia~ Way and considering the distance to other a2cahol outlets an the Pier - and to p3aygraunds {the carousel~ the volleyball courts, the beach parkland where the consumption of alcohol is a violation of the law and the two children's parks at the beach - adjacent to the pier.) D. Tra~fic and parking congestion will result from granting any addxtional alcohol outlets and the reduction af parking spaces that are propased. The Pzer Restox~-tidi~ EYR was approved with aver-riding cansideration because the traffic i~apact could not ~i~Gii ~ ~ Page II P~anning Commission Ak~ust 19, 1992 be mitigated. This is because that EIR determined that ten major intersections surrounding the Pier are a~resdy operating at an "F" rating. 1,000 seats in Beat 2 night clubs will only add to the traffic and parking congestion. E. The addition of any more alcohol outlets would be in conflict with Land Use Element se~tions 1.2 and 1.2.4, and zoninq ordinance sub-chapter ~J, section 9049.1 and therefore the objectives of the General P~an would not be secured, F. The public health, safety and generaZ welfare are not protected due to the fact that there is already undue concentratian af alcaho3 outlets in the area wherQ the Pier is located. It is a high crime area in that 54.1g above the average amount of crime per crime reporting district in Santa Monica occurs in Beat 2 in which the Pier is located. Additionally, 450$ above the average amount of alcohol arrests between the years 1987 and 1990 has occurred in that same crime reporting Beat 2. Additior~ally, as per the letter of the director of the ABC's degartment to District Attorney Ira Reiner, there is no ABC enforcement of alcohol ~aws taking place currently. A~so~ the Cla_re Foundation, the lead alcoholic recovery organization, has determined that the addztivn of any mare a3cohol outlets in Census Tract 7019 would impede their ability to help their current case ~oad. This would suggest that there is not adequate amount of police pratection ar publi~ health services to handle the pre-~ existing problem and there can be no justification for allowing any further aut~ets. That would simply be poor land use planning and poor economics. Additiona~ Consideratians: 1. Cinco De Maya festivit~es 1992, and 4th of July festivities at the Pier were cance3.led due to budgetary considerations, specifica~ly the crowd contro~ management costs - This before we have 1,000 more seats where alcohol may be served on the Fiar. 2. The Thursday Night Concert Series at the Pier that already pravides free multi-cultural, blues and jazz offerings, creates a packed Pier whose capacity load is ~7,000 people and this is without the two proposed restaurants that add ]., 000 seats where a~cohol is servea. ~~~~ti ~ ~ , Page III Planning Commissian August 19, 199~ 3. Fiscally, there exists no cost benefit analysis of the revenue benefits from increased alcahol sales compared to the cost of alcohol related services. However, based on the 1991 Los Anq~les County alcohol related services manual, for every dollar of alcQhol revenue collected by the County of Los Angeles, it costs $172 in alcohal related services. 4. It is wholly inappropriate ta have children's performances where a7.cohol is being served. Included in this Pier a].cohol fact finding report are the following attachments: ~. Pier capacity Ioad determination by the Santa Monica Fire Department. 2. Santa Monica Police crime statistics for Beat 2. 3. Census Tract 7p~9 informatian. 4. Undue Concentration Rule 61.3. 5.

People af all aqes, soc~oeconomfc 1eve~s, and aZmost every cultural gr~up dr~.nk axcohol. Althauqh alcohol use is widespread, an estimated 33 percent of Americans age 18 and over do not drink (Clark and Midanik 1982y. Alcahol i: associated With many positiv~ bnd v~lued secial cvstams a~d ritua~s. Madia and advertisinq portrayalg of ~-3cohol both rel3ect and shape svcietal attitudes about Alcahol by associa~ting drinking with many desirable attributet (Moskowitx i9s9). In addition, the production and distribut~an af alcohol~c beverages is an important part af the nation~s ecanomy. Americans spent over 5605 bi~iion an alcohclic beverages in ~983 (Aleohol Research In~ormatior~ Se~vices 1965y. Alooho~ is nevertheloss a poten~. drug whfch may imp~ir phys~.cal caordiz~ation and judgment, dim~ni~h contra]. aver impulsive behavior, and e$use serious short ~nd lonq-tex~m health consequenc~s. The deqree of these effect~ is usually directly related ta tria amaunt consumed. Throu~hout this nation~s history~ society has held contradictory attitud~6 about aZcohol and has enacted vdricus palicies to coatral a~cvholic beverages. Perhaps the most not~bl~ experiment fn recent history is the 18th Am~r~dment ta the U.S. COriSt~t~lt~p1Z~ wh~ch prahibfted the manufacture and sa~e af aleoh4lic b~verages fram 1924 to 1933. A~though effective in terms af ~ignificantly reducing alcahol canstuttption and related problezus, Prohib~tion was Cans~.dered by most ta be a failure (Moore and Gerst~ein 1981), The repeai of Prohibition had important implic~tian~ for public attitudes and pvlicies tow~rd alcohol use. A~.cohol us~ came ta be viewed as a purely p~rsor~al choice (Aaron and Musta 1981). A~or~g with this vi.ew came ~#ocus ori individua2 a~coholic drink~ng and a den~.al of lamily and soci$~ problern~ that result fram individuels' drinking. `Th~ prob~~m identified we~~ alcoholism, ~nd the respons~b3lity to r~ddress the prob2em rested w~th the excessive, c~ror~ic drinker. Yn recent yQars ~ we have begun to take a~ broader vieTa of the nature and scope of a~cohol~related groblems. The nature of ~tlcaho~- rel~ted probxems is incrsasingly being defined riat just as an individual probZem, but also ns a family mnd coaununity prablem. The scope of dl~ahol-related problems !s defined nat jus~ as a~lcoholic drink~ng, but ~~sa as ~ny cvnsum~tion of aleehal in hfgh risk s~tuations. -- - ~'""-' 4 l}UrJti. ~ ! ~ ~7u~t a~ an individu~~~s drinking affects ~hs tamily and the community, so do fami~y and coauaunity attitudes about a~cohal atfect the dr~nki~q practices af individuals. Alcoholism is not just an is-trapsychic, ir~dividuaz prablem. Alcaholism is a product o! the dri~ker's rslationship to, and inter~ctian with, the immediate ccmmun3ty and friends, the werkplace and co-workers, and society in qeneral. Probie~ drinking can be 6upparted fn the ind~vfdual by soaiety~s often irr~t~onal mttitudea taward and ignorance about alcohol, Prob~em drir,king is trequently unintentianally supported by lami~y, friends, ca~workers, employers, and others in the drinker~s sociai enviranmertt. Traditiana~ly, we have thouqht of a~aohoi problems as the resu~t of chraniv, axeessive consumption of ~lcohol. Cirrhosis of the lfver and many o'ther heaZth prablems ar~ Iong-term results of this type of consumgtian. However, there arQ many ~thar A2cohol-related problems which nre not caused hy chronic excess~ve use, but are associsted with the place or circumctanee of alcohol cansumption. For examp~.e, research indicates that any consumptiort of al.coho~ ~y e pr~gnant woman may prvduce birth dQfeots. Also, alcohcl cancumptian by a person who will bo driving an automob3.le immediately aft~rward creates an unacceptabl~ risk of hara~ ta ]~oth himse~f and others. For these rensans, the detinzt~on of the rcope of alcoho~~related prablems~ is beinq exganded to fnclude ~ny drinkinq in high risk situations in additiat~ ta chronic, heavy drinking, IHD=VIDVAL ALCOI30L-RELATED PRO~LEMS At the individual Ievsl, alcohol is a tactar in a broad range of problem9 including ghysicaZ, emotianal, aacial, leg~l, and emp~oyment problems. Estimates af the number~ o! alcoholics and peop~e with mlcohol-rel~tted problems ~n this C01331tty range ~ram 18 to ~8 sni~.lion persans (We~t 1484; Un~t~d States Departmont o€ Heal~h and Huma~ Sgrvices 3983~ Secretary of Hea~.th and Humt+n Serviees ~9e5). The broad range of estimbtes is largely attributable to dirferences in defining end measuring a].COholf5m. Early formulas to estimate preva~.ence usually defined alcoholism as physic~l dependence on alcahol and used rates of liver ctrnc~sis as indicators af alcoholism. Wiliiams et al. (1987) daveloped 1990 pro~ectians for the number of alcohel abusers end alcohalics ih speci~ic ag~ groups in the resident, nan-in~titutianalized U.S. pppulAtion aged i8 yenrs and older.

In Las Angeles County, there were a tota~ o~ 2,195 alcohal-related c~eaths i~ 1988. Alcahol-.R~lated_Morbiditv A~coho~ fs aasociated w~th ~ w~.de variety af inedicai and ps~aholagicaY problems. Setween ~5 an~ ~0 percent ot patienCs seen in a~n averaqe general medical practi.ce hav~ sign~fic~nt medical and psycholog~,caX problems associ~ted W~th alcohal use (M~ller ~t al, 19$8). The types of health problems typ~caily ~ound in heavy drinkers inc~ude liver dis~ases~ particularly cfrxhosis; diseases of the nervous, gastraintestinal, and respiratory sy~tems; heart and v~sc~~ar diseases; cancers; metabolic and immuna ~ystem d~sorders; endacrin~ disorders; nvtritior~al deficiencies~ poisoning; ~nd injuries from motor YehiC~e and other acc~dents (NIAAA 1987). Gastraintestina~ disturbances cammon~y occur w~th alcohol. use. Esophagitis (heartburn), peptic ulcer disea~se, and acute pancreatitis aften reru~t lrom regular alcoho~ consumption. Vague abdominal discamfort~ diarrhea, constfpation, quAiac positive stoois, and g~strie eancer are alsa associated wfth d2cohol use (Miller et nl. 1988). In addit~on, there is substant~al a~.cohol association with certain neurotic personalit~ss, other nonpsychotic mental disa~ders, snd drug abuse (stin~on et ~~, 1986), Individual alcahal-rela~ed probZems also result in problems for the family, tha ~riends, and the cammunity of the drinker. S~.n~e a~cvhol-re~~ted prob~ems are a product o~ th~ reciprocal relationship batween drinkers and their et~vironments, the individual problams alsa beoome family and community issues. FAMILY ~RO$L~MS Rx;LATED Ta ALCOHOL There ~s a ccmplex rtia~ionai~ip between alcvhal and d~srupted tami2ies. AZcohel is involved in one-third og child molestation fncidents, approximately on~-faurth to one-half of marita3 viaience incidents, and in 13 percent of reported child abuse cases (Bowen 1988; Roizen 1982; Hamilt~n ana CaZlir~s 198~j, Estimates of the concurrent incidence af alcohol problems an~ family vial~ence range from 25 to 85 percent of the fami~ies studfed (Roy 1977; Katz 1982; Flanzer i984; Harn~r 1987y. Rather than A c~use nnd effect relatianship, aicoho~-related family vial~nce is seen as a rynerqistic intaraction of the two~ ~rpblems (Flanz~r ~984). Research evidence suggests that divorce and separation rates mmong a~cohoXics are ~even times hiqher than in the qenaral population (Paolfno and MoCrady 1977). 7 l1~iJtit3 ~ ~ AZtha~qh it is not documented in th• resemrch, one of the mast severe alcchol,-rel~ted problems af ~ectinq families is their denial o! aZcQhol as a prab2em. In many instances, problem drinkers t~re able ta ~vntinue destructive drinking gatterns bec~use fami2y memberi unintentionally suppart and assist them. Refusing ta acknow2edge aZcvhal as a probiem can p~rpetuate dysfunctian in families and aff~ct the caciai and emotfona~l development of children. Famiiy a~aaho~-related problems may baqfn befare birth. Fetai Ai~aho~ Syndrome (€ASj is a distinct pattarn af physical and behavioral ~nomalies which cari occur in children of women who drink alcahal during pregnancy. The hea~lth effects of materna~ drinking on the developing fetus include neuroloqica3, behavioral, skeZetal, morpholoqicel, and devQlopmantaZ disorders, facluding mental retarda~ion. According to the xmtienal Institute of A~coholism nnd A1Goho~ Abuse (NIAAA 1983y. FAS ie one a! the leading caus~s o~ birth defects, and the orily one that is cvmp~etely preventable. The United States Public Heaith Service estimates that of the 3.6 million b~-bies born in 1983, more than o~e millivn were born to women whv drank during pregnancy. The United state~ Surgeon ~eneral {1981} has warned that any consumption o~ a.lcaholic bev~rages during pregnancy may be dang~rous to ths letus. He has advised wom~n who are pregnant (or consi~~ring preqnency~ not ta drink alcahaZic beverages and to ~e aware vf the ~~coho2ic content of loods and drugs. Resear~h shaws that the r~sk ot ~cw bi~th weiqht, irr~tability, and other developmental problems is hiqher even whQn pregnant women drink or~1y moderately {Littlc, 1977t Streissguth et al, 1982). Growing up iri nn alcoho~ic home may ha~ve long-term ~ttects an childr~n. There ar~ an estimat~d Z8.6 mil2ion ch~ldren of alc~~~-lics, 6.6 miilivn of whom are under the age ot 18. Research on children of e~lcoholics is re3a~xvelp new, and is limit~d by methodologfcal and ethical concerns abaut samples. In m r~view of the avaf2abZe 1lteratur~, Woodside (1982) neted ~tudie~ which sugq~st ivwer self-est~em, heightened social aggression, and increased ~motional detachment amang children o! alcohalics. Cb1+~ipNITY ~-HD B~CIETAL PR08LEM8 RL'~,ATED TO P-LCOHOL Family and i.ndividual alcohol-r~l~ted problems have a cumUlati~e negative impr~ct on co~nunities and on society--at-lmrge. The costs af alcahal-reZated probl.ems aan be express~d quantitatively in ecanamic terms. Qualitatively, the costs may be asti~cated by cons idering the role af ~-Icohol in aur COC~~~II ~ and consider~ng the human costs axperienced by ~~milxes and individuals which cannot and shou~d not be reduced to •canamic values. The cc~sta af alcohol-re~ated probl~m~ in tnis oountry wer~ approximately ~115 billion in 1983 (Re~earch Trirtngle Insti,tute 1s85). Th~se costs inc~uda a~praximatQly $71 bil2ion in lost prcductivity and employment, $18 bi~l~an in excess mortality, $14 8 t1UJti ~ ~ ~ bi~lion in h~alth care easts, and $12 b~lli~n ~r~ property loss and erime (Moskowitx Z989). One source est~mates that two dollars o€ socia3 costs reau~t ~ram every retail dcllar spent an alcoho~ic beverager (Moshar 1987). These socia], cost~ ar~ t~curred by al~ consumert~ ~ot ~ust thase directly at~ected by ~~cohal-re3ated prob~.ems. Tr~xpayers, b1]sj,~7B5~5B,~ and pfllic~-halders ~f insurance compa~ies ara some af thv groups affected. According to the Ra~earch Triarigla Institute (1995), the costa of alcahol-related prob3ems in x9$3 were distributed in the ~ollowing manner. • ~'ifty-nine percent ~$68 bi23ivn) was absorbed by inflividuals with alcahol-related problems and their familiea. r Thirty-three percent ($3B billion) wns p~id by qovernment ~ourees, w3.th 23 pcrcent of the totr~l paid by the ~et3era3 government, and 10 percent by ~tate and local gevernments, • Efght percent ($9 billion) was paid by insurance ~vmpmniss an 2ffe and heaZth insur~r~ce c3aim~, Reduced produCtivity at hame and in the warkp~ace accounted !or appraximately $63 billion (55 percent) of the tat~l ~stimated costs. This category repr~sents the Iargest single area of cost, and suggests ather alcahoi-rel~ted costs to society that are not rendily apparent. The estimate of reduced productivity costs is based on the lower earriings of worker~ with alcchal~-related groblems. De~reased productivity results in increased costs tor busines$ and industry, and may be pasaed an to can~umers through higher pric~s, 3ower wages, and reduced profits. The estima~te provided does not cansiaer theae factors. Traffic accfdents and illnesses related to alcahol represented 11.3 percent ($~3 bil~ionj and 8.5 perccnt ($9.7 billian) of tt~e tat~l Ccsts, re~pectively. Crime and injur~es other than traPfic accidents together accaunted for epproximately $g billion of total costs, or seven perc~nt each, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome represented S4 billian, or 3.6 percent of the total casts. Appraximately $4.4 bi.l.~ion was sp~nt in 1983 for alcohol recavery and treatm~nt ser~ices. Prsvate insurdnce, feder~l. st~te, and locai governments paid vver 90 percent of these costs. Econamic._Impact o~ Alcahol-Related ProbZem$ in Los Anaeles Cauntv In 1985, the Los Angeles County Chief Administrative Office relea~ed the seventh edition in a series of reports on the es#~mated cost o~ alcohvl-r~lated problerns ~o the Los Angeles ~,~,nty government. The report estimated the cnst ~t $320,188,250, ~hich represented an incr~ase of 47 percent ~rvm the fiqures ~n the 9 ~~ Uu•.1ti:~ ~ ~ 1980-81 study. This ~ncreas~ may have been due, in part, to a great~r awa-rene~r abaut ~lcoho~-re~~+ted prablems, and to improved methods a~ repflrtir,g alcohal-related oa~ts. The repart suggested that the r~se in ~osts was nlso due ta increased effects of alcohol-rel.a~t~d preblem~ an Gounty resident~.

T`he chi~d's strugg~ing is nat recognized by the mother as ari att~~pt ta brea~he. Thereaf ter the child is made fearful by having his or her face in water. To overcame this I rec.,~E~~~~nd that a nan-swi~aner €irst becaane used to repeatedly placing their face in a sma].1 bawl of wazm water. Next, they Iearn to hold their breath as lvng as possible arid also to blow bnbbles in the water. When they can carnfortably do this, they ar~ ready to leam to swim, 3.

Relaxing af mus~les and expans~.an of the ~taigs de~reases the body' s specific gravity, and a re3,axed swimmer floats. Canversely, irxegular, Si~allow breathing plus anxiety related flexing of the muscles increases specific grauity, and ~he n~-s•~r~er or the dastressed swinnner doe~ not f1Qat. Chr~nic sinkers also tend to exhale as they go be~aw tiie sur£ace. A person wha ha~s dif~'ic.vlty floating ~hould atta„~t to xelax as much as passib}.e, inhale de~ply, and hvld their brea~h. They shouid then roli into a tight ball, this will positively effect thsir buoyancy, enabling floation with t~e back above t~e water's sc~face. After experience and confi~ence is gained in ~this positian, the relaxed swi~aner is thm ready to att~t back flotat~an. 1~tormaZly, a persan not used to back fl~ating may su£fer dzscomf~rt thraugh water in the nose. Hence, nose c~ips are required. Ne~ct, completely inflate the ~~gs and try relaxed f~aating aa~ the back. The arms shouid be floated as far above the head as possibZe, kTith the back arched and the chin ~olled away frrnn the chest. The feet and legs may begin to sink in 'this attitude. Haweerer, by ~ncreasing tlze arch a~ the back an~ ro~.~~ng the head furthe~ backwards, sinking motion of the feet and 3egs can be ca~mtered. Breathino in this attitude is the same expiasi~e tec}mique used zn droxnproflfing. ~ have taught swimmers k~o ~auld nat otherwise back float, to fil~ their l~mgs c~E~letely, bend backwards zn the water and grasp thair ankZes.

Furth~r Issues fvr the Pier Restoration EIR Scoping Session. The canditional use permits for the nine proposed alcohol autlets of the Santa Manica Pier u-ust not be satzdwiched into the EIR approval Process. Separate hearings and the appropriate notification for each and every CUP for alcoho3 on the Pier must be conducted. The methadology devised by the planning department in establishing their findings for A~cohol CUP's must inc~ude a crime statistic analysis af crime reporting district or Beat 2 and its 3 sub-beats. This needs to be the case in order ta conform with the standards sEt forth in the ABC department rule 61.3 - The Undue-concentration Rule. The necessity of having a consistent city and state definition and policy taward undue-concentration should be se~f-evident in the granting of land use permits and alcohol licenses. Input fro~n lifeguards, police, paramedics, Santa Monica and St. John~s HQSpital Emergency Physicians, Clare Foundation, Santa Monica High School Administrators and the Superintendent af the Santa Monica, Maiibu 5chool District (The Pier is with 3~0~0 feet of the Sa~ta Monica High Schoo~) must be solicited in order ta adequately assess impacts of increased alcohal availability at the pier an the surrounding neighborhood and community at large that is in cens~s tract 7019 wh~re the Pier is located. Census tract 7019 eurrently is an area of undue- concentratic~n as defi~ed by the California Alcohol Beverage Control department because it contains 1Q2+ alcahol outlets and cantains 183$ above the average amount of crime that is found in the other crime reporting districts citywide. Please offer an expianation of why the proposed family restaurant required any a~cohol license let alone a fuli distilled spirits, type 47 license. Alcohai in a family restaurant promotes the possibility of drinkinq and driving and puts child pass~r~g~rs at risk. The practiee runs contrary to the health, safety and we~fare of children. Presumably the "Fun Zane" ]ocated on the Pier is designed to include children and teens who are beiaw the drinking and driving age. The proposed Fun Zane is surrounded by four L-~C~-} t f31T 3~~•~~ G u ~ 4 5 . ~ alcohol outlets and the possibility of nir-e plus proposed additional aut3ets. This is co~nter to the California State Attorney General's goals of creating DRUG FREE ZONES as outlined ir the enclosed materials {once again consider the Pier's proximity to the high school). The city must role- ~odel the concept of fun without drugs; to do atherwise is to be entire].y socia3ly irresponsible. There is no public necessity to drink alcoholic beveraqes! Economic benefits derived fram the tax revenues col~ected in alcohol sales are overwhelmingly over-shadowed by the alcohol related service cost to the commt~nity. Public convenience is more than satisfied by the 102+ alcahol out].ets that a].ready exist in the ,6 mile are known as census tract 70~9. The Pier is located in census tract 7019, as I have already mentioned, and the ABC Department recommended number of fln-sale outlets for the entire area is three. 20,400 drinkers can currently be accommodated by those outlets.* How many peaple does tha City of Santa Monica P~anning Staff and EIR consuZtants think shou~d be drinking and driving? How wi11 you advise the Planninq commission? How will you measure the negative impacts of the potential drinking and driving that will result from inereased alcohol availability on the Pier? Finally, it is illegal by Santa Manica's municipal code ta drink alcoholic beverages on the beach in Santa Manica. Why is it leqal to drink alcohol above the beach? People who go into the water and have been drinking alcoho3 increase their risk af drowning. Parents who have been drink~ng have impaired their judc~ement during a time when they need to be supervisinq their chi~dren's beach and swimming activities - placing a greater, yet avoidable, demand on lxfeguards and putting children at risk. Who are the child advocates in Santa Monica City government? In the absence of a city health department, how are health ~mpacts for the purpo~e of the Pier Restoration prajact to be determined? What means exists to measurably assess the health risks and negative impacts af the proposed Pier Restoration Project increases in alcohol availability on the pub~ic? What measurable, objective criteria referenced data will be•identified and gathered for the purpose of the EIR to make'tha~ as'sessment?

BACKGRODND STATEMENT 1984: Residents of Seaview Terrace formed a Neighborhood Watch under the guidarioe of the Santa Monica Police. 1985-199~: To date, 100$ of the praperties on Seaview Terrace have been robbed or burglarized. Many res~dents have had multiple burqlar~es and robberies '~a~ snite af an active Ne~ghbarhaad Watch because there is no police patrol of the private easement and inadequate deterrence of crime in the area. I989: Resident/Homeowners af Seaview Terrace was farmed to become more knowledgable and protective of our riqhts given the impacts of the tremer~dous amount of de~elopment in our immediate vicinity. 199D: I was appointed to the Civic Center Specific Plan Advisory Committee (CCSPAC) by Mr. John Jalili to serve as the representative af this Sea~iew Terrace Group to this cammittee. I and my neighbars have first- hand experience concernir~g the davelopment of ovr area -- and the impacts to the ~ivab~lity o~ our neighborhood. 1991: A resident of Seaview Terrace is killed in an unsignaled Ocean Avenue cross-walk south of the Laew's Hote3. Since the beqinninq of this prOC~55~ my goa~ has been to assure that th~s adjoining residential area wauld be protected, preserved, and considered thrcughaut this CCSPAC procass and that this Civic Center would remain an area that the entire c~tizenry of Santa Manica would find as a safer, cleaner area than it is currently. -~- V ~% a1 1 i ( ~ . -~- -- - - - ` , • i To that end, I will support any and all efforts to keep open spaces as they are or support ir~creases of open qreen spaces -- and wi11 encaurage, remodeliing and/ar renovatinq of existing spaces - - as weil as encourage underground development. With reqard to public welfare and safety, I have presented alcohal availability findings for census tract 7109 (which is where the Civic Center is located) to the Advisory Cammittee and am now re- submitting these findings for inclusion in the appendix 6ection of this document along with other updated alcohol information pertinent to the Civic Center Area. Aiso included are 2 proposed palicy requests that were submitted earlier for CCSPAC cansideration. -2- GUJ~~~- ~ ~ GENERAL COI~II~iEI~1T8 ~N T8E PLAN' 8 ELEMENTS FISCAL POLICY AND ]~iPPEHDIS I. Land Oso Elemeat Alcohol Outlet Findings and Background: o No Santa Moniaa City ("City") standard ar numeri~a3 definition of over-concentration exists. Howe~er, the finding of "no aver-concentratian," has routinely been applied~ for the purposes of approving Conditional Use Permits ("CUP's") for a~cahol, since the CUP ordinance for alcahol was estab~ished in 1985. (See Planning Commissian deliberations reqarding the CU~ far alcohol for the Boathouse outdoar dining area, July, 199I). o There exists no City Standard for determining allowable distanceS of al~ohol out~ets to residential areas, schools, parks, playgraunds or churches. The ABC star,dard states that ~}Q alcohol outlets shall be a~lowed within 100 feet af such Zar~d ~sages - unless the applicant can pra~e non-interference with the quiet enjoyment of these properties. o Based on an ABC data-print- out, dated March 19, 1991, approximateiy 181 of the ex~sting 324 alcohol outlets in Santa Monica have received their Alcohol Severage Sales licenses since ~985. This means that approximately 181 CUP~s for a~cohal, a pre- requisite to obtaining the ABG licenses, wQre issued by the City since 1985 when the CUP for alcahol ordinance came into effect. The Alcaho! CUP ardinance was established in 1985 in recoqnitian of the over-cancentration of alcohol autlets that existed at that time. o Only 3 off-sale CUP's and 1 on-sa~e CUP for a~cohal have ever beex~ denisd since 1985, and the 18~ alcohol autlets that have received their alcohol CUP's have done so, in the -3- Gti~1~:~ . ~ absence of a City numerical standard vr definition of whnt constitutes o~er- cancentration. (See Santa Monica City Ordnance for Alcohol Out3ets, Subchapter 5J, Section 9049.1, p. 340-141). o According to the Caltfornia Alcohol Beverage Cantrol Department ("ABC"), undue- concentra~tion of alcohol autlets exists in Census Tr~ct 7flt'~, in wh~ch the Civic Center is lvcated. (See Administrative Law Judge, Richard Ranger's Decision in Barbanell vs. Hyatt Carp~ration, December, ~990.) o ABC def ines undus-concentration as a proli- feratian ot alcohol outlets in a census tract area, whose erime reporting district, or beat, has 20$ above the average amount of crime ns compared with other crime reparting districts ci~ywide.

The beach lots are not patrol~ed on a constant 24 hour basis and are currently a palice problem. only 24 hour guards at the praposed struct~re wi~l passibly mitigate the potential crime impacts the structure will pose.

Traffic Impacts The traffic study needs to factor in the foilowing: 1) weekend traffic* 2) special events* 3) hot weather* 4) summertime* *Caunts should be taken in the summer, on weekends with and without special events gainq on at the Pier.
