A SEP 1 2 1~89 C/ED:PB:DKW:LM Council Mtg: September 12, 1989 Santa Monica, California TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: City staff SUBJECT: Appeal of Planning Commission Approval of CUP 89-00S and VAR 89-003 for a new Two-story, 20 Bed Residential Care Facility and the Conversion of an Existing Two-story Duplex to Kitchen and Dining Facilities for the Dormitory and Offices for the CLARE Foundation at 1865 9th Street. Applicant: CLARE Foundation. Appellant: John Chung. INTRODUCTION This report recommends that the City Council deny the subject appeal and uphold the Planning Commission's approval of CUP 89-005 and VAR 89-003. On June 21, 1989, the Planning Commission approved CUP 89-00S and VAR 89-003 by a vote of 4-0. John Chung is appealing that decision (Attachment A) . A detailed description of the project is included in the Planning Commission Staff Report dated June 2l, 1989 included as Attachment B of this report. The conditions imposed by the Planning Commission can be found in the Planning Commission Statement of Official Action dated June 21, 1989, and included as Attachment C of this staff report. BACKGROUND The proposal to construct the 20 bed dormitory and convert an existing duplex to ancillary support facilities appeared before the Planning Commission on two separate occasions. Minor improvements are also proposed for existing CLARE facilities - 1 - ~....q SEP 1 2 1989 adjacent to the subject site. On May 3, 1989, the planning Commission opened the public hearing for the CLARE proposal, took pUblic testimony and then continued the matter in order for the applicant to further study alternative site designs to provide additional parking and to meet with concerned neighborhood residents. The applicant studied alternative site designs, but due to cost constraints, opted to stay with the same building and parking configuration. The applicant also worked with the Neighborhood Support Center and the pica Neighborhood Association to facilitate communication with concerned neighbors. Through the neighborhood meetings it became evident that most of the resident's concerns related to the CLARE Foundation's existing community assistance programs, such as the Sober Inn and the Homeless Lunch Program. As a result of the neighborhood meetings, an agreement was reached in which the CLARE Foundation would work to improve their existing programs compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. In part 1 this would be accomplished through litter patrols, by limiting loitering in front of the existing buildings and limiting the Homeless Lunch Program to 225 patrons. The agreement between the neighborhood residents, PNA and the CLARE Foundation is included as Attachment D of this staff report. To further mitigate the project's impact on the surrounding neighborhood 1 the applicant dropped the request to construct a 6' high fence wi thin the required front yard setback, and agreed to a set of special conditions that - 2 - would reduce the potential impact of the care facility on the surrounding residential neighborhood (Attachment C) . ANALYSIS The proposed twenty bed dormitory is a permitted use, with the granting of a CUP, in the R2 zoning district. The building con- forms with the development standards of the R2 zoning district in that side yards of seven feet and a front yard of twenty feet are proposed. The building will reach a maximum height of 23'-6" to the top of a flat roof. No new construction is proposed for the unit located at the rear of the lot. A rear yard setback is therefore not applicable. There will be no usable new floor area added to the building pro- posed for conversion to kitchen and dining facilities. A ne"l mechanical equipment room is proposed for the ground floor. At their February 25, 1988, meeting the Rent Control Board con- currently granted a Category D Removal Permit, and an exemption for the property as a residential social service under RCCA Sec- tion 1801(c) (6) for the four units existing on the subject site. Conditional Use Permit Under Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC) Section 9012.4(d) com- munity care facilities are conditionally permitted uses in the R2 zoning district. A community care facility is defined as "any facility, place, or building which is maintained and operated to provide non-medical residential care, adult day care, or home - 3 - finding services for children, adults, or children or adults in- cluding but not limited to the physically handicapped 1 mentally impaired 1 or incompetent persons, and includes the following: (1) "Residential Care Facility" means any family home, group care facility for 24-hour non-medical care to persons 18 years of age or older in need of personal services, supervision, or assistances essential for sustaining the activities of daily living or for the protection of the individual. The proposed twenty bed dormitory and ancillary support facili- ties will provide additional alcohol recovery and support facili- ties for the CLARE Foundation. The CLARE Foundation provides a recovery plan which includes a stay of between 3-6 months, group discussions and a positive lifestyle to promote sobriety. The CLARE Foundation currently has ten beds existing in three sepa- rate units adjacent to the subject site at 1871 Ninth street. The proposed location of a twenty bed dormitory is appropriate due to its proximity to existing CLARE Foundation facilities. The proposed dormitory will provide additional screening and buf- fering between the existing CLARE facilities on Pico Boulevard and existing multi-family residences to the north. Parking Variance The parking standard for rooming houses 1 boarding houses, clubs or fraternity type housing with sleeping facilities (1 space/ bedroom) was used to determine parking requirements for the pro- posed dormitory facility. The parking standard for office space - 4 - (1 space/300 square feet of floor area) was used to determine parking requirements for the office/kitchen and dining facili- ties. Based on those standards, the dormitory would require ten spaces, and the office/kitchen facility would require ten parking spaces. A total of twenty spaces are required and only five spaces are proposed. The application of these code parking requirements to this type of proposal is necessary due to the lack of specific parking re- quirements for the proposed residential care facility and ancil- lary kitchen and dining facilities. This type of residential care facility cannot be expected to generate the same amount of traffic as boarding houses and fraternities. In addition, since the kitchen and dining facilities in the converted building will serve the dormitory, they should not generate additional parking demands 1 and should not have to be counted in the total square footage of the office/dining facility. strict compliance with the parking requirement for the proposed dormitory is not pos- sible in this instance, nor does staff or the Planning Commission find it appropriate. The five parking spaces that will serve as required parking for the dormitory and office facilities are existing spaces. Due to the rear building I s location, the required 5' setback for the parking stall from the rear property cannot be provided. The Parking and Traffic engineer has approved the parking configura- tion as proposed. - 5 - Program 10 Applicability The removal of four units from the rental market, and the lack of providing four units as part of the replacement project raises an issue regarding compliance with Program 10. The city council anticipated this issue by including the draft Program 10 Implementing Ordinance language which exempts units which are removed from a site and replaced by a nonprofit residential social service use which constitutes the principal use on the site as long as the nonprofit residential social service use exists on the property, and upon execution of a deed restriction imposing the requirements of Program lO should the nonprofit residential social service use terminate. Compl iance with the ordinance as proposed, or any subsequent version adopted by the city Council, has been made a condition of the project approval. Conclusion The proposed expansion of the CLARE Foundation will allow an or- ganization which provides a community service to expand its facilities. The project should have a minimal impact on the sur- rounding neighborhood, and the variances should not create ad- verse impacts. The requested CUP and variance should therefore be approved. - 6 - 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 deny the subject appeal, and uphold the Planning Commission's approval of conditional Use Permit 89-005 and Variance 89-003 subject to the findings and conditions contained in the Planning Commission statement of Official Action dated June 21, 1989.

Specifi- cally, the applicant proposes to remove an existing duplex and construct a new two story, 2,930 square foot, 20 bed dormitory for use as a residential care facility, and to convert an exist- ing two unit apartment building into kitchen and dining facili- ties for the dormitory, and offices for the CLARE Foundation. An application for variance to not provide required parking (20 spaces are required and 5 are proposed) is also requested. Minor additions are also proposed to the property located at 1871 Ninth street. proposed is the construction of a new laundry room, and the construction of new stairways leading to the second floor exterior walkway. The Rent Control Board has granted a category D Removal Permit for the four units existinq on-site (Attachment C) . . Recommendation: Approval with conditions. SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The subject property is composed of two adjacent parcels of 7,500 square feet located on the east side of Ninth street between pico Boulevard and Michigan Avenue having a frontage of 100 feet. Surrounding uses consist of a two story multi-family residence to the north (R2), existing one and two story CLARE Facilities to the south (R2A,C4), a two story multi-family residence and one story single-family residence to the east (R2), and a two story mul ti-family residence and one story liquor store to the west (R2 , C4) . - 1 - Zoning Districts: R2, R2A Land Use Districts: Medium density residential. Parcel Area: lS,OOO (lOa' x 150') PROPOSED PROJECT Proposed is the removal of a one-story duplex located at the front of the subject site, and construction of a two storY/23'- 6" , 2 I 930 square foot, 20 bed dormitory for use as an adult recovery home for the CLARE Foundation. Floor plans indicate that the dormitory will include ten two-bedroom units and a library. Two communal restroom facilities will be located on the first floor and three will be located on the second floor. No kitchen facilities are proposed in the building. One of the ten units, as well as one of the communal restroom facilities, will be equipped to accommodate handicapped residents. Also proposed is the conversion of a two unit apartment building, existing on the rear of the site, to kitchen and dining facili- ties for the dormitory, and offices for the CLARE Foundation. Floor plans indicate the location of kitchen and dining facili- ties, as well as one office and a library, on the first floor, and five offices and a central lobby on the second floor. Rest- room facilities will be located on both the first and second floors. The building will add 2,850 square feet of floor space to the existing CLARE Facilities. Minor remodeling and new construction is also proposed for the existing residential care facilities located in the rear building at 187l Ninth Street. Plans indicate the replacement of stair- ways leading to a second level walkway located along the northern elevation of the building, and the construction of a new 238.5 square foot laundry room. MUNICIPAL CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE The proposed project is inconsistent with the Municipal Code and in conformity with the General Plan as shown in Attachment A. The project is inconsistent with the Municipal Code in that twen- ty parkinq spaces are required, and five are proposed. A varian- ces is requested to allow a reduction in the number of parking spaces. CEQA STATUS The project is categorically Exempt per the city of Santa Monica Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA, class 3 (14). FEES The proposal is not subject to any Planning or Zoning fees. - 2 - BACKGROUND The subject proposal was brought before the Planning Commission on May 3, 1989. After a public hearing, the proposal was con- tinued so that the applicant could study alternative site designs to provide additional parking, and to meet with concerned neighbors. The applicant has studied alternatives to provide additional parking since the Planning Commission hearing, while maintaining the proposed site plan. The proposal brought to staff required an additional curb cut on Ninth street to access one tandem space to be located within the required 20' front yard setback. The result would be the loss of one on-street parking space in order to gain one on-site tandem parking space (a net gain of one park- ing space for the project). To provide this additional parking space, variances would be needed to allow uncovered parking in the front half of a residential lot, and to allow a curb cut when alley access to a parcel is available. staff and the applicant felt that the necessity of obtaining the additional variance, and the loss of the on-street park.ing space off-set the additional on-site parking spaces gained. A survey of the propoerty has been prepared by the applicant since the Planning Commisison meetinq, and the five parking spaces existing at the rear of the site, directly behind building 12 at 1865 9th Street, are actually set back ~3'-311 from the cen- terline of the rear alley, not 10 as originally shown. The re- quired 15' setback from the center line of the alley cannot be provided. The 5 parking spaces are, however, existing, and should be permitted to be maintained. The applicant has also met with concerned residents of the neiqh- borhood to discuss the problems associated with operation of CLARE Foundation's facilities. These problems seem to be associ- ated with the operation of the existing Sober Inn facilitY1 and the meals service program, and not with the existing alcohol recovery facility. Finally, as a result of concerns expressed by the planning Com- mission at their May 3, 1989 meeting, the applicant has decreased the height of the fence proposed wi thin the front yard setback from 6' to 42", thus eliminating the need for the fence height variance. ANALYSIS The proposed twenty bed dormitory is a permitted use, with the granting of a CUP 1 in the R2 zoning district, and conforms with the development standards of the R2 zoning district. Side yards of seven feet and a front yard of twenty feet are proposed. No new construction is proposed at the rear of the lot. A rear yard setback is therefore not applicable. The building will reach a maximum height of 23'-6" to the top of a flat roof. - 3 - There will be no new floor area added to the building proposed for conversion to kitchen and dining facilities and offices, aside from a new mechanical equipment room proposed for the ground floor. At their February 25, 1988, meeting the Rent Control Board con- currently granted a Category D Removal Permit, and an exemption for the property as a residential social service under RCCA Sec- tion 180l(c) (6) for the four units existing on the subject site. Conditional Use Permit Under Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC) Section 90l2.4(d) com- munity care facilities are conditionally permitted uses in the R2 zoning district. A community care facility is defined as "any facility, place, or building which is maintained and operated to provide non-medical residential care, adult day care, or home finding services for children, adults, or children or adults in- cluding but not limited to the physically handicapped, mentally impaired, or incompetent persons, and includes the following: (l) "Residential Care Facility" means any family home, group care facility for 24-hour non-medical care to persons 18 years of age or older in need of personal services, supervision, or assistances essential for sustaining the activities of daily living or for the protection of the individual. The proposed twenty bed dormitory and ancillary support facili- ties will provide additional alcohol recovery and support facili- ties for the CLARE Foundation. There are ten beds existing in three separate units adjacent to the subject site at 1871 Ninth Street. The CLARE Foundation provides a recovery plan which in- cludes a stay of between 3-6 months, group discussions and a positive lifestyle to promote sobriety. The conditional Use Permit process is intended to allow the es- tablishment of uses which might have a special impact, yet for which their impact can not be determined in advance of the use being proposed for a particular location. The existence of CLARE Facilities in this area indicates that the location is appropri- ate, and that the impacts would be minimal. The proposed location of a twenty bed dormitory is appropriate due to its proximity to existing CLARE Foundation facilities. The proposed dormitory will provide additional screening and buf- fering between the existing CLARE facilities on Pico Boulevard and existing mUlti-family residences to the north. ?,,:rking Variance The parking requirement for rooming houses, boarding houses, clubs or fraternity type housinq with sleeping facilities was used to determine parking requirements for the proposed dormitory facility. The standard office requirement was used to determine - 4 - parking requirements for the office/kitchen and dining facili- ties. The dormitory would require ten spaces (l space per bed- room), and the office building would require ten spaces (2,850 square feet of floor area/JOO = 9.5 = 10). A total of twenty spaces are required, yet five are proposed. The application of the aforementioned parking requirement to this type of proposal is necessary due to the lack of specific parking requirements for the proposed dormitory use. A residential care facility cannot be expected to generate the same amount of traf- fic as boarding houses and fraternities. In addition, since the kitchen and dining facilities in the converted building will serve the dormitory, they should not generate additional parking demands, and should not have to be counted in the total square footage of the office/dining facility. If the dining and kitchen facilities are removed from the total square footage of the building, only five parking spaces would be required for the con- verted building, and only fifteen parking spaces would be re- quired for the entire proposal. The five parking spaces that will serve as required parking for the dormitory and office facilities are existing spaces. Due to the rear building I s location, the required 5 I setback from the rear property cannot be provided. The parking and Traffic en- gineer has approved the parking configuration. Program 10 Applicability The removal of four units from the rental market, and the lack of providing four units as part of the replacement proj ect would appear to indicate non-compliance with Program 10. The City Council is anticipated, however 1 to include in its Program 10 Implementing Ordinance, specifically Section 9450, language which exempts "units which are removed from a site and replaced by a nonprofit residential social service use which constitutes the principal use on the site, but only as long as the nonprofit residential social service use exists on the property, and only upon execution of a deed restriction in a form acceptable to the City imposing the requirements of [Program 10] should the non- profit residential social service use terminate." Compliance with the ordinance as proposed, or any subsequent ver- sion, is suggested as a condition of the project approval. Conclusion The proposed expansion of the CLARE Foundation will allow a much needed community service to expand its facilities. The project should have a minimal impact on the surrounding neighborhood, and the variances should not create any adverse impacts. The re- quested CUP and variance should therefore be approved. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that CUP 89-005 and VAR 89-003 be approved sub- ject to the following findings and conditions: - 5 - PARKING VARIANCE FINDINGS 1. There are special circumstances or exceptional charac- teristics applicable to the property involved, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, or to the intended use or development of the property that do not apply to other properties in the vicinity under an identical zoning classification, in that there are no specific parking requirements for residential care facili- ties, and the application of office parking requirements to the entire support facility is also not appropriate. In addition, most of the clients will not be driving to the facility, and their stays are of a short duration. 2. The granting of such variance will not be detrimental or injurious to the property or improvements in the general vicinity and district in which the property is located, in that by expandinq the existing facility, additional coun- seling, living and eating space will be available, thereby reducing the impact of the existing facility on the sur- rounding neighborhood. 3. The strict application of the provisions of this Chapter would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships, not including economic difficulties or economic hardships, in that it would be impossible to maintain the existinq structure and provide the required number of parking spaces at the rear of the site. 4. The granting of a variance will not be contrary to or in conflict with the general purposes and intent of this Chapter, or to the goals, Objectives, and policies of the General Plan, in that the proposed use is a conditionally permitted use, and one which provides a community service. 5. The variance would not impair the integrity and character of the district in which it is to be located, in that some parkinq is provided on site, and the majority of the new construction will not generate any additional traffic. 6. The subject site is physically suitable for the proposed variance, in that it is level, and it will accommodate the proposed structures with the required setbacks and lot coverage requirements being met. 7. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed variance would not. be detrimental to public health and safety, in that all public utilities are available to the site. 8. There will be adequate provisions for public access to serve the subj ect proposal, in that all parking will be access from the rear alley. - 6 - 9. The strict application of the prov~s10ns of Chapter 10 of the City of Santa Monica Comprehensive Land Use and Zoning Ordinance would result in unreasonable deprivation of the use or enj oyment of the property, in that there are no specific parkinq requirements for the proposed type of use, and no specific studies that would indicate what type of demand this type of use would generate. In addition, the the parking requirements set forth result in an unrea- sonable deprivation of the use of the property. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS 1. The proposed use is one conditionally permitted within the subject district and complies with all of the applicable provisions of the IIcity of Santa Monica Comprehensive Land Use and Zoning Ordinance", in that community care facili- ties are conditionally permitted in the R2 zoning district per SMMC section 9012.4(c). 2. The proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the district in which it is to be established or located, in that the proposed use is an expansion of an existing adult recovery facility. 3. The subject parcel is physically suitable for the type of land use being proposed, in that the proposed dormitory will provide required side and front yard setbacks, and will not exceed the maximum permitted lot coverage of 50% (a lot coverage of 39% is proposed). 4. The proposed use is compatible with any of the land uses presently on the subject parcel if the present land uses are to remain, in that the dormitory will conform with the R2 development standards pertaining to height and setback. S. The proposed use would be compatible with existing and permissible land uses within the district and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located, in that the proposed use will provide additional counseling and housing area for the existing overcrowded facilities. 6. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation 1 and public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed use would not be detrimental to public health and safetY1 in that all public utilities are available to the subject site. 7. Public access to the proposed use will be adequate 1 in that all access to the site is taken from a rear alley. 8. The physical location or placement of the use on the site is compatible with and relates harmoniously to the sur- rounding neighborhood, in that the height and bulk of the new dormitory will conform with the majority of the multi- family residential development in the area. - 7 - 9. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan, in that the proposed use will provide a community service, and the CLARE Foundation is a highly regarded provider of the type of service proposed. 10. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare, in that the facilities will be closely supervised by trained staff and the CLARE Foundations past record is exemplary. 11. The proposed use conforms precisely to the applicable per- formance standards contained in Subchapter 6, section 9050 and special conditions outlined in Subchapter 7, section 9055 of the city of Santa Monica comprehensive Land Use and Zoning Ordinance, in that since there are no specific requirements relating to this type of community care facility these code sections are not applicable. 12. The proposed use will not result in an overconcentration of such uses in the immediate vicinity, in that there are < only ten beds in the existing facility, and the proposed additional twenty beds will contribute to relieving over- crowding conditions for both recovering alcoholics and staff.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION 6-21-89 x Date. Approved based on the following findings and subject to the conditions below. Denied. PARKING VARIANCE FINDINGS Other. 1. There are special circumstances or exceptional charac- teristics applicable to the property involved, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, or to the intended use or development of the property that do not apply to other properties in the vicinity under an identical zoning classification 1 in that there are no specific parking requirements for residential care facili- ties, and the application of office parking requirements to the entire support facility is also not appropriate. In addition, most of the clients will not be driving to the facility, and their stays are of a short duration. 2. The granting of such variance will not be detrimental or injurious to the property or improvements in the general vicinity and district in which the property is located, in - 1 - f' 4. that by expanding the existing facility, additional coun- seling, living and eating space will be available, thereby reducing the impact of the existing facility on the sur- rounding neighborhood. 3. The strict application of the provisions of this Chapter would result in practical difficulties or uunecessary hardships, not including economic difficulties or economic hardships, in that it would be impossible to maintain the existing structure and provide the required nUJlber of parking spaces at the rear of the site. The granting of a variance will not be contrary to or in confl ict with the general purposes and intent of this Chapter, or to the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan, in that the proposed use is a conditionally permitted use, and one which provides a community service. ~ 5. The variance would not impair the integrity and character of the district in which it is to be located, in that some parking is pr.ovided on site, and the majority of the new construction will not generate any additional traffic. 6. The subject site is physically suitable for the proposed vari~nce, in that it is level, and it will accommodate the proposed structures with the required setbacks and lot coverage requirements being met. 7. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed variance would not be detrimental to publ ic health and safety, in that all public utilities are available to the site. 8. There will be adequate provisions for public access to serve the subj ect proposal, in that all parking will be accessed from the rear alley. 9. The strict application of the provisions of Chapter lO of the City of Santa Monica Comprehensive Land Use and Zoning Ordinance would result in unreasonable deprivation of the use or enj oyment of the property, in that there are no specific parking requirements for the proposed type of use, ~nd no specific studies that would indicate what type of demand this type of use would generate. In addition, the the parking requirements set forth result in an unrea- sonable deprivation of the use of the property. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS 1. The proposed use is one conditionally permitted within the subject district and complies with all of the applicable provisions of the "city of Santa Monica Comprehensive Land Use and Zoning ordinance", in that community care facili- ties are conditionally permitted in the R2 zoning district per SMMC Section 9012.4(c) . - 2 - " I The proposed use would .not impair the integrity and character of the district in which it is to be established or located, in that the proposed use is an expansion of an existing adult recovery facility. 3. The subje~t parcel is physically suitable for the type of land use' being proposed, in that the proposed .dormitory will prov..ide required side and front yard setbacks 1 and will not exceed the maximum permitted lot coverage of 50% (a lot coverage of 39% is proposed) . 2. ~ 4. The proposed use is compatible with any of the land uses presently on the subject parcel if the present land uses are to remain, in that the dormitory will conform with the R2 development standards pertaining to height and setback. The proposed use would be compatible with existing and permissible land uses within the district and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located, in that the proposed use will provide additional counseling and - housing area tor the existing overcrowded facilities. 5. 6. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation 1 and public utili~ies and services to ensure that the proposed use would not be detrimental to public health and safety, in that all public utilities are available to the subject site. 7. Public access to the proposed use will be adequate, in that all access to the site is taken from a rear alley. 8. The physical location or placement of the use on the site is compatible with and relates harmoniously to the sur- rounding neighborhood, in that the height and bulk of the new dormitory will conform with the majority of the multi- family residential development in the area. 9. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan, in that the proposed use will provide a community service, and the CLARE Foundation is a highly regarded provider of the type of service proposed. 10. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare, in that the facilities will be closely supervised by trained staff and the CLARE Foundation I s past record is exemplary. ll. The proposed use conforms precisely to the applicable per- formance standards contained in Subchapter 6, Section 9050 and special conditions outlined in Subchapter 7, Section 9055 of the City of Santa Monica Comprehensive Land Use and Zoning Ordinance, in that since there are no specitic requirements relating to this type of community care facility these code sections are not applicable. - 3 - f 12. The proposed use will not result in an overconcentration of such uses in the immediate vicinity, in that there are only ten beds in the existing facility, and the proposed additional twenty beds will contribute to relieving over- crowding conditions for both recovering alcoholics and staff.
