SUBJECT: Resolution Extending the Time Period for Exercising a
certificate of Appropriateness Permitting the Remodel
and Renovation of the Existing Billiard Building at
250-256-258 Santa Monica Pier.
INTRODUCTION
This report recommends that the City council extend by resolution
the time period for exercising the certificate of Appropriateness
permi tting the remodel and renovation of the existing Billiard
Building at 250-256-258 Santa Monica Pier. Pursuant to Section
96121 of the Landmarks Ordinance, this approved Certificate of
Appropriateness will expire on February 5, 1991 if it is not
extended by the City Council.
The City Council Resolution is
contained in Attachment A.
BACKGROUND
The Landmarks Commission conceptually approved the subject
Certificate of Appropriateness permit on March 8, 1990. The
Commission then issued a final approval for the project on August
9, 1990.
The proj ect involves the renovation of the Billiard
Building, a historic building constructed on the Pier in 1923.
The building has been housing two restaurants as well as a live
theatre. The renovated building will continue to house the two

restaurants, while the third lease space, currently occupied by
the theatre, is to be determined~
As stipulated in the Landmarks Ordinance, this approval expires
within 180 days unless the authorized work has begun. Due to
unanticipated construction delays, the Pier Restoration
Corporation (PRC) has been unable to begin work on the project
within the specified time period. Construction is now expected
to begin in early fall 1991, immediately following the summer
season.
This potential delay was presented to the Landmarks commission at
their August 9th meeting. The Commission, at that time,
recommended that the City council extend the Certificate approval
by resolution for the maximum permitted 180 days if it appeared
the approval would expire. As stated in section 9620 of the
Landmarks Ordinance, certificate of Appropriateness approvals may
only be extended by City Council resolution upon a recommendation
of the Landmarks Commission.
since construction is now scheduled to begin in early fall 1991,
pursuant to section 9620 of the Landmarks Ordinance, to prevent
expiration of the permit, the Council will again, at a later
date, need to extend the Certificate for an additional time
period.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT
The recommendation presented in this report does not have any
budget or fiscal impact.

RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the Council extend by
resolution this Certificate of Appropriateness permit for the
maximum permi tted 180 addi tional days.
The permi t will then
expire on August 4, 1991.
