RECOMMENDATION:

Accept Categorical Exemption CE-22-113 and approve a Conditional Use Permit CUP22-002 for the onsite service of alcoholic beverages (Type 41 - On-Sale Beer & Wine – Eating Place) at the Junipero Concession Stand located at 2630 East Ocean Blvd in the Park (P) Zoning District. (District 2)
APPLICANT: Saltwater Deck
c/o Marvin Youssef
10805 Artesia Blvd, Unit 107
Cerritos, CA 90703
(Application No. 2201-03)

DISCUSSION
The Junipero Beach Concession Stand/Restroom Building is located on the sandy beach area at the east end of the Junipero Beach parking lot (also known as Cherry Beach) within the Park Zoning District (Attachment A - Vicinity Map). Vehicular access to the beach parking lot that serves the concession stand is maintained via a roadway leading from the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Junipero Avenue (terminus). The beach bicycle and pedestrian path is located directly north of the concession stand/restroom building and serves the project site. The existing bluff areas north of the site include stair access to Ocean Boulevard for pedestrians.

Areas immediately adjacent to the project site include a sandy beach area, basketball courts, a playground, exercise equipment, a rinse station, existing bicycle and pedestrian path. Surrounding land uses include park and beach areas, residential uses, and a museum. The site has a 1989 General Plan Land Use designation of Land Use District (LUD) No. 11 (Open Space). 1 The project site is situated in the Coastal Zone. The concession stand building and outdoor seating area for the concession stand are located within the State's permit jurisdiction. The accessory recreation uses north of the concession stand (bicycle and pedestrian path, basketball courts, and exercise equipment) are located in the City’s Appealable Area. Therefore, the final coastal permit approval 1 The General Plan Land Use Element was updated in 2019 and has not yet been certified as part of the City’s Local Coastal Program. Therefore, the 1989 General Plan Land Use Element (1989) designation LUD No. 11 remains applicable to the project site.

for the service of alcoholic beverages in the existing outdoor seating area would require approval/clearance by the California Coastal Commission (Coastal Commission).

The site is currently developed with a 1,574-square-foot structure featuring a concession stand, restrooms, and outdoor storage (Attachment B – Site Photographs). The concession stand was remodeled in 2018. Within the City’s jurisdiction of the coastal zone, the remodel included the installation of exercise equipment with an accessible path, two basketball courts, and wayfinding signage on an existing paved beach path (Attachment C – Concession LCDP [App. No. 1703-39]).

Within the Coastal Commission’s Original Permit Jurisdiction, a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) was issued for the remodel of the concession/restroom building, consisting of a new screen wall separating restrooms from concession area, lockable storage space for vendors, shade structure, new concrete boardwalk connecting the concession with the bike path, a children’s playground, and other American’s with Disabilities Act improvements (Attachment D – Concession CDP [No. 5-17- 0796]). The concession stand vendor operates under a contract with the City of Long Beach and is required to comply with all conditions of approval issued under the local and states approvals, including all food service through the takeout window and the stocking of relatively inexpensive snack items. There is no full table service permitted within the dining/seating area, located within the sand and paved area between the existing palm trees and concession stand. The existing beach parking lot serves the concession stand (accessory use), and as conditioned, is required to be reserved for use of the general public and shall be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The operation of the concession stand at this location is consistent with the City’s certified Local Coastal Program (LCP).

While parks and open space uses are the primary land uses permitted in this land use district, accessory commercial uses, such as a food and beverage concession stand, are also permitted if intended to preserve natural areas, promote the mental and physical health of the community, and improve the park/beach visitor's overall experience. The proposed project meets the intent of this goal as the project would serve visitors of the surrounding beach areas.

Conditional Use Permit
The applicant is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow on-premises alcohol sales within the existing concession seating area. The applicant is requesting a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license (On-Sale Beer & Wine – Eating Place) which allows the sales of beer and wine for on-site consumption in conjunction with a bona fide eating place. The proposed service of alcohol would not involve physical construction or change the use/intensity of the concession stand. The nature of the proposed ABC license is for alcoholic beverage sales to be consumed onsite with the service of meals.

The concession stand use is considered a positive addition to beach recreational activities and enhances the visitor-serving nature of this coastal area. The existing concession stand maintains a takeout window for the services of food and beverages (Attachment E - Plans). Only concession stand staff are permitted within the interior of the kitchen, food prep, and food service areas of the concession stand. On-site consumption would be permitted only within the designated outdoor seating area on the sandy beach area. The service of alcohol in this area would not affect the special conditions related to public access issued by the Coastal Commission under CDP No. 5-17-0796.

The concession stand will only serve alcoholic beverages at time when food items are available for sale. The beach concessionaire has the ability to operate within the framework of the agreements with the City, which incorporate all entitlement approvals and conditions as exhibits.

The operator at this location proposes to limit alcoholic beverage sales to patrons who purchase a food item or present a receipt of purchase of a food item (Attachment F – Operations Plan). In addition, the applicant has proposed security measures and proper training for all staff for the responsible service of alcohol. Conditions of approval have been included to ensure that alcoholic beverages are served in a clear and recognizable cup and that all alcoholic beverage are consumed onsite within a delineated area (Attachment G - Conditions of Approval). The delineation of the seating area shall be in conformance with ABC requirements but shall not include a permanent railing system without the expressed approval by the Coastal Commission.

As conditioned, the ABC-required enclosures around the dining areas shall be a visually open, temporary rope (or similar) enclosure that is to be removed at the close of business each day. A sign shall be posted that reads “No Alcoholic Beverages Beyond This Point”. This permit does not modify public access management conditions for the seating area included in the previous approvals.

While the operations plan does include operating parameters for hours of alcohol service (Table 1: Proposed Operating Hours), the concession stand’s hours may operate reduced hours in the off season and in response to inclement weather. As CUP approvals run with the land and concessionaires change over time, operation plans also change. Therefore, conditions of approval have been incorporated to ensure the sale of alcoholic beverages would continue in an appropriate manner even when a change of operator occurs. As such, the conditions of approval require that the alcohol sales shall end a minimum of one hour prior to the close of business. In addition, the final operations plan shall be provided to the Development Service Department’s Planning Bureau (Bureau) prior to the commencement of alcohol service. The approved operations plan and conditions of approval shall be maintained onsite at all times. Upon a change of operator/concessionaire, an updated operations plan shall be submitted to the Bureau and the updated plan shall also be maintained on-site.

Table 1: Proposed Operating Hours
Food Service 7 am – 8 pm
Alcohol Service 10 am – 7 pm

In accordance with Long Beach Municipal Code (LBMC) Section 21.25.201, the purpose of a CUP is to allow the review of a proposed use to ensure that it is compatible with the adjacent uses. In In addition, LBMC 21.52.201 establishes a number of requirements for alcohol beverage sales.

Required findings include compliance with the required off-street parking; that the alcohol use not be in an overconcentration of alcohol licenses within the Census Tract; that the use not be located in a reporting district with a high crime rate as reported by the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD); and the use’s proximity to parks and schools. LBMC Section 21.25.100 allows these and conditions to be waived subject to written findings.

The existing concession stand is an accessory use to the beach and previous conditions of approval issued by the Coastal Commission do not permit the reservation of parking within the beach parking lot for concession stand patrons. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages would not represent an intensification of use but would add menu items to an existing accessory use.

The existing beach parking lot serves as a first-come-first-served basis and has sufficient capacity to serve the existing beach primary use and accessory park amenities, which include the concession stand and recreation areas.

The subject property is located within Census Tract 5767 ABC recommends a maximum of four on-sale alcohol licenses for this census tract based on the current population within the tract.

There are currently nine active alcohol licenses for on-site consumption sales within this Census Tract (Attachment H – Map of ABC Licenses). While the census tract is currently over- concentrated and the addition of this license would further overconcentrate the census tract, the granting of the CUP would be consistent with the CUP approved for Alamitos Concession Stand Project. Alcoholic beverage sales would generate a small percentage of the overall sales as the primary use is a concession stand. The proposed alcohol license at this location would be limited to beer and wine. The outdoor seating area is subject to fluctuations in weather and seasonal trends, which is unique compared to a typical restaurant use. The closest on-sale license to the project site is located at 2300 East Ocean Boulevard (Long Beach Museum of Art), which is approximately 500 feet northwest of the site. The remaining licenses are located along East Broadway, approximately 1,300 feet to the north. Therefore, within the locational context of the site, the type of license, and the distance to other licenses locations, the overconcentration does not represent a condition that would create a nuisance with incorporation of the proposed conditions of approval.

The CUP for a Type 41 liquor license is requested as a service and convenience to the customers as an integral part of the dining experience. In considering a CUP for the sale of beer and wine at this location, staff evaluated the total number of reported crimes in the subject Police Reporting District. The site is located within Police Reporting District 433 within the East Division. The crime rate for this reporting district is 246, with the average being 97. Pursuant to Section 21.15.1338, "high crime" means a crime rate in a crime reporting district that is 20 percent above the City-wide average for all crimes. The threshold for high crime is 116. Therefore, this area is considered to be a high crime area. Section 21.52.201 of the Zoning Code requires that a new CUP for alcohol sales not be approved in a reporting district with a high crime rate as reported by the LBPD. The project site is in a high crime area. There were 17 calls for service attributed to the location from May 2021 to May 2022. Based on this information, the LBPD has included conditions of approval related to security cameras and lighting. With the proposed conditions of approval incorporated, the LBPD is not opposed to the approval of a Type 41 ABC license.

Staff consulted with the LBPD on this alcohol sales request and the LBPD expressed no opposition to approval provided the approval includes security measures including training, recognizable cups, prevention of loitering, and the incorporation of lighting and video surveillance. Conditions of approval address these concerns regarding the requested alcohol sales. Staff believes that approval of the CUP for alcohol sales would have a minimal impact on the surrounding community since this

land use the recommended conditions of approval would require the implementation of a number of operational measures designed to reduce any potential negative effects from the alcohol sales.

Staff recommends approval of the CUP with conditions for the project as necessary components of beach concession amenities that will increase and enhance active and passive beach recreational activities, based on the attached findings (Attachment I - Findings) and subject to the attached approval conditions.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
A total of 2,837 notices of public hearing were distributed within a 1,000-foot radius from the project site on July 7, 2022 in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 21.21 of the Zoning Regulations. As of the preparation of this report, one public comment has been received (Attachment J – Public Comment).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) this project is eligible for a categorical exemption per Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines (CE-22-113). The project would not involve new physical construction and would entail the service of alcoholic beverages from an existing food and beverage concession stand.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT

FINDINGS
Application No. 2201-03 (CUP22-002)
2630 East Ocean Blvd
September 20, 2022

Pursuant to Section 21.56. 206 of the Zoning Ordinance, a Conditional Use Permit shall not be approved unless the following findings, in addition to any findings applicable under Chapter 21.25, are made. These findings and staff analysis are presented for consideration, adoption, and incorporation into the record of proceedings.

A. THE APPROVAL IS CONSISTENT WITH AND CARRIES OUT THE GENERAL

PLAN, ANY APPLICABLE SPECIFIC PLANS SUCH AS THE LOCAL COASTAL

PROGRAM AND ALL ZONING REGULATIONS OF THE APPLICABLE
DISTRICT;

The project site is in General Plan Land Use District (LU D) No. 11, Open Space and Park District. 1 While parks and open space uses are the primary land uses permitted in this LU D, commercial and commercial recreation uses are also permitted if intended to preserve natural areas, promote the mental and physical health of the community, and improve the park visitor's overall experience. The proposed project meets the intent of this General Plan LU D as the project would serve visitors of the surrounding park and beach areas.

The project site is in the Park (P) zoning district, which is a district established to set aside and p reserve publicly owned natural and open areas for active and passive public use for recreational, cultural and community service activities. Such areas are characterized by landscaped open space, beaches or inland bodies of water.

The project site is situ ated in the California Coastal Zone, specifically the concession building and seating area is in the area of the Coastal Zone under the State's permit jurisdiction. Therefore, the project would require final approval/clearance by the California Coastal Commission.

The proposed project includes one land use that requires a Conditional Use Permit approval: alcoholic beverage sales at the existing concession stand . The conditionally permitted land use would enhance the coastal recreational opportunities of local residents and beach visitors. The project is consistent with the intent of General Plan LU D No. 11 and the Park zoning district to encourage active and passive public use of the project site and surrounding park and beach areas. Project approval would include conditions of approval to prevent nuisances and minimize potential negative impacts to surrounding areas.

1 The General Plan Land Use Element was updated in 2019 and has not yet been certified as part of the City’s Local Coastal Program. Therefore, the 1989 General Plan Land Use Element (1989) designation of Land Use District (LUD) No. 11 remains applicable to the project site.

B. THE PROPOSED USE WILL NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE SURROUNDING

COMMUNITY INCLUDING PUBLIC HEAL TH, SAFETY OR GENERAL
WELFARE, ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY OR QUALITY OF LIFE; AND

As conditioned, t he sale of alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption at a concession stand is not expected to be detrimental to the surrounding community.

Conditions of approval are included to ensure minimization of any negative impacts associated with the operation of the proposed project. All service of alcoholic beverages would be limited to the existing service area. Conditions include security measures requiring video cameras, alcohol training, measures to identify alcoholic beverage containers, prevent loitering, and to ensure safe operations of the facility.

C. THE APPROVAL IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONAL USES, AS LISTED IN CHAPTER 21.52.

Section 21.52.201 states that the following conditions shall apply to all alcoholic beverages sales uses requiring a Conditional Use Permit:

a. The operator of the use shall provide parking for the use equivalent to the parking required for new construction regardless of the previous use as to legal nonconforming rights.

The project site is the Junipero Beach Concession Stand/Restroom Building which is located on the sandy beach area at the east end of the Junipero Beach parking lot (also known as Cherry Beach). Local vehicular access to the beach parking lot that serves the concession stand is maintained via a roadway leading from the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Junipero Avenue (terminus). Furthermore, the project site is served by multiple modes of transportation, including the beach bike and pedestrian paths and the bluff stairs that connect to Ocean Boulevard.

The existing concession stand is an accessory use to the beach and previous conditions of approval issued by the Coastal Commission do not permit the reservation of parking within the beach parking lot for concession stand patrons. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages within the existing outdoor seating area would not represent an intensification of use but would add menu items to an existing accessory use.

As conditioned under the Coastal Development Permit for Concession Stand (CDP No. 5-17-0796), the existing beach parking lot serves as a first- come-first-served basis and has sufficient capacity to serve the existing beach primary us e and accessory park amenities, which include the concession stand and recreation areas. The existing parking conditions and Conditional Use Permit
Findings

alternate modes of transportation provide adequate opportunities to access the concession stand and associated dining areas.

b. The operator of the use shall provide night lighting and other security measures to the satisfaction of the Chief of Police;

The existing concession stand maintains onsite security lighting on the building. The project Conditions of Approval include a require ment to provide appropriate security lighting with light and glare shields to avoid light intrusion onto adjacent beach areas and the surrounding areas in accordance with Long Beach Municipal Code and specifies that other security measures may be required to the satisfaction of the Long Beach Police Department. In addition, conditions of approval require exterior video security cameras and adequate video surveillance of the surrounding area to the satisfaction of the Police Department.

c. The operator of the use shall prevent loitering or other activity in the parking lot that would be a nuisance to adjacent uses and/or residential neighborhoods;

The c onditions of approval require the operator to prevent loitering and other related nuisances.

d. The use shall not be in a reporting district with more than the recommended maximum concentration of the applicable on or off - premises sales use, as recommended by the State of California Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, nor with a high crime rate as reported by the Long Beach Police Department, except: (1) locations in the greater downtown area; or (2) stores of more than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet floor area, and also providing fresh fruit, vegetables and meat, in addition to canned goods; and

In consideration of a Conditional Use Permit application for the sale of alcoholic beverages, staff evaluates the number of existing alcohol licenses in the subject Census Tract. The subject property is located within Census Tract 5767 ABC rec ommends a maximum of four (4) on -sale alcohol licenses for this census tract based on the current population within the tract. There are currently nine (9) active alcohol licenses for on -site consumption sales within this Census Tract. The site is located within Police Reporting District 433 within the East Division. The crime rate for this reporting district is 246, with the average being 97. Pursuant to Section

21.15.1338, "high crime" means a crime rate in a crime reporting district that is twenty percen t (20%) above the City -wide average for all crimes. The threshold for high crime is 116. Therefore, this area is considered to be a Conditional Use Permit

high crime area. Based on this information, the police department has included conditions of approval related to security ca meras and lighting.

With the proposed conditions of approval incorporated, the LBPD does not have opposition to the approval of a Type 41 ABC license.

While the census tract is currently over -concentrated and within the high - crime area , The granting of the CUP would be consistent with the CUP approved for Alamitos Concession Stand Project in allowing beach patrons to enjoy the public beach amenities without having to depart the beach to travel to commercial districts in order to purchase and consume food and beverages, including beer and wine . Alcoholic beverage sales would generate a small percentage of the overall sales as the primary use is a concession stand. The proposed alcohol license at this location would be limited to beer and wine. The outdoor seating area is subject to fluctuations in weather and seasonal trends, which is unique compared to a typical restaurant use. The closest on -sale license to the project site is located at 2300 East Ocean Boulevard (Long Beach Museum of Art) , w hich is approximately 500 feet northwest of the site. The remaining licenses are located along East Broadway , approximately 1,300 feet to the north.

Therefore, within the locational context of the site, the type of license, and the distance to other licens es locations, the overconcentration does not represent a condition that would create a nuisance with incorporation of the proposed conditions of approval.

e. The use shall not be located within five hundred feet (500') of a public school, or public park, except: (1) locations in the greater downtown area; or (2) stores of more than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet, and also providing fresh fruit, vegetables, and meat in addition to canned goods.

Although the project site is in a public park, the subject site has been conditioned to ensure that security measures are taken for public health, safety, and welfare. The beaches are regional serving, and the concession stands serve to provide food and beverages , including lower-cost options.

The concession stands are located in areas that are relatively remote from commercial districts. The nearest commercial zone to the project site is along East Broadway, which is at a distance from the concession stand location. The onsite sale of food and beverages at the concession stand , including alcoholic beverages, enables visitors to remain at the beach , rather than departing the coastal beach areas to seek commercial areas for restaurant and retail uses . The alcohol servi ce would be an accessory to the sale of food and non-alcoholic beverages.

Application #2201-03 (CUP22-002) Conditional Use Permit: invitation to more crime Am responding to 2201-0 3 ( CUP22-002) 2630 E. Ocean Blvd ( APN: 7264-018-902, Saltwater Deck c/o Marvin Youssef) Conditional Use Permit.

The Junipero Beach parking lot is infamous in our neighborhood for disorderly conduct, noise violations, domestic violence and heated confrontations, This would affect not only the immediate parking lot area, but the Bluff Park neighborhood adjacent to it. Saltwater Deck customers could obtain alcohol in the parking lot area, then walk up the beach stairs to Bluff Park and "party" there. The Junipero Beach playground is used by adults, especially after 4pm for noisy and contentious gatherings. This happens on a continual basis.

Issuing an alcohol license would be a step in the wrong direction. My neighbors and I ( we live in a building directly across the street from Saltwater Deck) have the need to call the police nonemergency number on a regular basis. Last week alone, there were calls placed on at least five days due to excessive noise and criminal activity beginning in the Junipero Beach lot and often spreading to the Bluff Park area.

Imagine that this was your home. Please do not provide additional "fuel" to an already simmering fire.

Thank you for your attention and reply. If I may supply additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I object to approving the allowance of on-site sale of alcoholic beverages at the concession stand at 2620 E. Ocean Blvd, Long Beach.

Alcohol consumption contributes to discipline problems and crime. Keep Beaches and parks a safe plaice for all to enjoy.

I support the on‐site sale of alcoholic beverages at 2630 E. Ocean Blvd.

I am a Long Beach local that frequents Junipero Beach regularly. I believe that the sale of alcoholic beverages (obviously with reasonable limits) would be beneficial to the Long Beach community. It will bring good business and more mone y for the city, as well as more positive traffic.

I routinely clean up the area to help make a difference in the community. Regulating the sale of alcoholic beverages will incentivize more people and authorities to keep our beaches clean. Many would love to enjoy mimosas on the bea ch and the majority of people are respectful.

Subject: Salt Water Deck Application Use Permit - GREAT for the Community ‐EXTERNAL‐

To Ms. Cronin and Members of the Planning Commissioner,

My name is Joanne Culverhouse and I recently retired as the Superintendent of La Habra City School District and I am a homeowner at 1400 East Ocean Blvd. I have lived in the community since 2014 and having Salt Water Deck establish themselves in this community has bee
n a huge addition to the beach community. The owners and patrons participate in Beach Cleanups and provide wonderful community support. Salt Water Deck is where I take my family and friends when they visit from out of town or out of state.

I have spent hours at the rest
aurant during the afternoon and evening hours and having a liquor license would be an asset. The restaurant closes early and most of the disturbances occur late at night and Salt Water Deck has no control over the evening hours. I have heard the arguments against this and they are unreliable and untrue . Salt Water Deck having the ability to serve alcohol should be granted. It would be a controlled environment and would not be a detriment to the Junipero Playground.

Individuals causing the disturbances in the late evening hours are going to bring alcohol with them even if Salt Water Deck
allows patrons to enjoy a meal with alcohol. The owners have no control over the disruptions. I am forced to call the authorities on a regular basis and Salt Water Deck or any restaurant who serves alcohol is not to blame and Salt Water Deck should not be penalize d.

Please, please grant the ability for this wonderful establishment to serve us.

I would be very happy to provide additional  information to support this request.

Sincerely,

Joanne Culverhouse Ed.D.

I frequent saltwater deck weekly and I believe that allowing the business to sell alcohol would be a great benefit to the community, with rules in place of course. I believe it will draw more crowds to the beach, bringing in more money for the city and nearby business establishments.

I believe the crowds would force more enforcement and push away the bad crowds. Selling alcohol on the beach works out for the best in other countries. Why not us? I assume that there might be incidents but i believe 99% of the people would be respectful. There are bad people on this earth, but the good people can’t be punished for the assumption of what someone bad may or may not do.

Best,
John Batsakis

Dear Commissioners et al,

I completely agree with the statements submitted by both Ann Cantrell and Melinda Cotton.

Please keep parks and beaches alcohol free. Alcohol is readily available most everywhere! No need to add it to any park or beach locations.

Families and children need to have public spaces like parks and beaches free of alcohol. The revenue is minimal and I imagine any oversight will either be problematic and costly.

Parks and beaches are for recreating! Let non-alcoholic beverages at the parks and beaches be enough!

Let common sense reign here.

Thank you.

Dear Decision Makers:

Alcohol has its place, but it is not in parks or beaches. There are many good reasons why Long Beach has long prohibited alcohol in these places. Granting an alcohol license to a concession stand which is on the beach, with a "new concrete boardwalk connecting the concession with the bike path and a children’s playground" is most unwise.

2 Staff states: "While parks and open space uses are the primary land uses permitted in this land use district, accessory commercial uses, such as a food and beverage concession stand, are also permitted if intended to preserve natural areas, promote the mental and physical health of the community, and improve the park/beach visitor's overall experience". I have never heard that alcohol promotes mental and physical health--in fact just the opposite.

You Commissioners are being asked to grant a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) because:

1. The city ordinance that no alcohol can be served within 500 feet of a public park except: (1) locations in the greater downtown area; or (2) stores of more than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet, . . .

This concession stand has no full table service permitted within the dining/seating area, located on the sand and customers get their orders at a take-out window. It is doubtful that signs will prevent them from taking the food and drink out to the beach. (Be sure to look at the "dining area" photos). When seeing that alcohol is being sold on the beach, most beach goers will question why only those who can afford to pay are allowed to drink wine and beer in a no alcohol area.

2. The subject property is located within Census Tract 5767 ABC recommends a maximum of four on-sale alcohol licenses for this census tract based on the current population within the tract. There are currently nineactive alcohol licenses for on-site consumption sales within this Census Tract (Attachment H – Map of ABC Licenses). There is no need for another license in an already over-concentrated area.

3. "The site is located within Police Reporting District 433 within the East Division. The crime rate for this reporting district is 246, with the average being 97. Pursuant to Section 21.15.1338, "high crime" means a crime rate in a crime reporting district that is 20 percent above the City-wide average for all crimes. The threshold for high crime is 116.

Therefore, this area is considered to be a high crime area. Section

21.52.201 of the Zoning Code requires that a new CUP for alcohol sales not be approved in a reporting district with a high crime rate as reported by the LBPD. The project site is in a high crime area." No need to worry--according to staff, lights and cameras will solve the high crime problem!

Staff states: "Alcoholic beverage sales would generate a small percentage of the overall sales as the primary use is a concession stand. The proposed alcohol license at this location would be limited to beer and wine." Sales will be permitted between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. I can see no good reason why beach goers cannot go for 9 hours without alcohol, especially if spending the day at the beach with family.
3 This CUP will allow alcohol where it is now prohibited, in a Census Tract with an excess of 5 licenses and in a high crime area. Any one of these would be reason to deny. Please do not allow this prescient-setting permit.

Sincerely,
Ann Cantrell

Hello Maryanne and Christopher,

I just came across this Application for an Alcohol License at the Junipero Beach Concession Stand on the July 21st Planning Commission Agenda, and this seems like a very bad idea. Alcohol consumption on Long Beach beaches is NOT ALLOWED and introducing alcohol sales and drinking at this location is counter to the City's existing Codes and existing signage on our beaches.

I just read through the Staff Report and see no reference to rules for drinking alcohol on the beach. The Parks and Recreation Department says drinking alcohol on the beaches is not allowed - and there are prominent signs on the beach saying NO Alcohol allowed. Shouldn't the current rules be presented to Planning Commission in the Staff Report. Isn't it going to be confusing to beach visitors that the City allows Alcohol Sales on the beach, but it's illegal and subject to Police action if a beachgoer consumes alcohol? Shouldn't the Planning Commission know this?

It appears that neither the Parks and Recreation Commission nor the Marine Advisory Commission were asked via an Agenda item for their opinion on having a CUP for Alcohol sales on the beach. Weren't these Commissions created to have input on these matters?

The CUP requires no Security Officer to be on hand to monitor rules and warn police if there are violations. It seems this location and the way the Concession Stand is run there will be no way to control and implement the rules. We're already short of

4 Police Officers and Marine Safety to implement rules over drinking alcohol - this seems a significant additional burden.

I believe the Planning Commission should reject this application for Alcohol Service at this location - it's a bad idea and a bad precedent.

Thank you for your attention.

Melinda Cotton

AGENDA ITEM No. 1 Development Services Planning Bureau
411 West Ocean Boulevard, 3rd Floor, Long Beach, CA 90802 (562) 570-6194

July 21, 2022

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
City of Long Beach
California

RECOMMENDATION:

Accept Categorical Exemption CE-22-113 and approve a Conditional Use Permit CUP22-002 for the onsite service of alcoholic beverages (Type 41 - On-Sale Beer & Wine – Eating Place) at the Junipero Concession Stand located at 2630 East Ocean Blvd in the Park (P) Zoning District. (District 2)

APPLICANT: Saltwater Deck
c/o Marvin Youssef
10805 Artesia Blvd, Unit 107
Cerritos, CA 90703
(Application No. 2201-03)

DISCUSSION
The Junipero Beach Concession Stand/Restroom Building is located on the sandy beach area at the east end of the Junipero Beach parking lot (also known as Cherry Beach) within the Park Zoning District (Attachment A - Vicinity Map). Vehicular access to the beach parking lot that serves the concession stand is maintained via a roadway leading from the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Junipero Avenue (terminus). The beach bicycle and pedestrian path is located directly north of the concession stand/restroom building and serves the project site. The existing bluff areas north of the site include stair access to Ocean Boulevard for pedestrians.

Areas immediately adjacent to the project site include a sandy beach area, basketball courts, a playground, exercise equipment, a rinse station, existing bicycle and pedestrian path. Surrounding land uses include park and beach areas, residential uses, and a museum. The site has a 1989 General Plan Land Use designation of Land Use District (LUD) No. 11 (Open Space).1 The project site is situated in the Coastal Zone. The concession stand building and outdoor seating area for the concession stand are located within the State's permit jurisdiction. The accessory recreation uses north of the concession stand (bicycle and pedestrian path, basketball courts, and exercise equipment) are located in the City’s Appealable Area. Therefore, the final coastal permit approval

1 The General Plan Land Use Element was updated in 2019 and has not yet been certified as part of the City’s Local Coastal Program. Therefore, the 1989 General Plan Land Use Element (1989) designation LUD No. 11 remains applicable to the project site.

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
July 21, 2022

for the service of alcoholic beverages in the existing outdoor seating area would require approval/clearance by the California Coastal Commission (Coastal Commission).

The site is currently developed with a 1,574-square-foot structure featuring a concession stand, restrooms, and outdoor storage (Attachment B – Site Photographs). The concession stand was remodeled in 2018. Within the City’s jurisdiction of the coastal zone, the remodel included the installation of exercise equipment with an accessible path, two basketball courts, and wayfinding signage on an existing paved beach path (Attachment C – Concession LCDP [App. No. 1703-39]).

Within the Coastal Commission’s Original Permit Jurisdiction, a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) was issued for the remodel of the concession/restroom building, consisting of a new screen wall separating restrooms from concession area, lockable storage space for vendors, shade structure, new concrete boardwalk connecting the concession with the bike path, a children’s playground, and other American’s with Disabilities Act improvements (Attachment D – Concession CDP [No. 5-17- 0796]). The concession stand vendor operates under a contract with the City of Long Beach and is required to comply with all conditions of approval issued under the local and states approvals, including all food service through the takeout window and the stocking of relatively inexpensive snack items. There is no full table service permitted within the dining/seating area, located within the sand and paved area between the existing palm trees and concession stand. The existing beach parking lot serves the concession stand (accessory use), and as conditioned, is required to be reserved for use of the general public and shall be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The operation of the concession stand at this location is consistent with the City’s certified Local Coastal Program (LCP).

While parks and open space uses are the primary land uses permitted in this land use district, accessory commercial uses, such as a food and beverage concession stand, are also permitted if intended to preserve natural areas, promote the mental and physical health of the community, and improve the park/beach visitor's overall experience. The proposed project meets the intent of this goal as the project would serve visitors of the surrounding beach areas.

Conditional Use Permit
The applicant is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow on-premises alcohol sales within the existing concession seating area. The applicant is requesting a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license (On-Sale Beer & Wine – Eating Place) which allows the sales of beer and wine for on-site consumption in conjunction with a bona fide eating place. The proposed service of alcohol would not involve physical construction or change the use/intensity of the concession stand. The nature of the proposed ABC license is for alcoholic beverage sales to be consumed onsite with the service of meals.

The concession stand use is considered a positive addition to beach recreational activities and enhances the visitor-serving nature of this coastal area. The existing concession stand maintains a takeout window for the services of food and beverages (Attachment E - Plans). Only concession stand staff are permitted within the interior of the kitchen, food prep, and food service areas of the concession stand. On-site consumption would be permitted only within the designated outdoor seating area on the sandy beach area. The service of alcohol in this area would not affect the special conditions related to public access issued by the Coastal Commission under CDP No. 5-17-0796.

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
July 21, 2022

Page 3 of 6 ends

The concession stand will only serve alcoholic beverages at time when food items are available for sale. The beach concessionaire has the ability to operate within the framework of the agreements with the City, which incorporate all entitlement approvals and conditions as exhibits.

The operator at this location proposes to limit alcoholic beverage sales to patrons who purchase a food item or present a receipt of purchase of a food item (Attachment F – Operations Plan). In addition, the applicant has proposed security measures and proper training for all staff for the responsible service of alcohol. Conditions of approval have been included to ensure that alcoholic beverages are served in a clear and recognizable cup and that all alcoholic beverage are consumed onsite within a delineated area (Attachment G - Conditions of Approval). The delineation of the seating area shall be in conformance with ABC requirements but shall not include a permanent railing system without the expressed approval by the Coastal Commission.

As conditioned, the ABC-required enclosures around the dining areas shall be a visually open, temporary rope (or similar) enclosure that is to be removed at the close of business each day. A sign shall be posted that reads “No Alcoholic Beverages Beyond This Point”. This permit does not modify public access management conditions for the seating area included in the previous approvals.

While the operations plan does include operating parameters for hours of alcohol service (Table 1: Proposed Operating Hours), the concession stand’s hours may operate reduced hours in the off season and in response to inclement weather. As CUP approvals run with the land and concessionaires change over time, operation plans also change. Therefore, conditions of approval have been incorporated to ensure the sale of alcoholic beverages would continue in an appropriate manner even when a change of operator occurs. As such, the conditions of approval require that the alcohol sales shall end a minimum of one hour prior to the close of business. In addition, the final operations plan shall be provided to the Development Service Department’s Planning Bureau (Bureau) prior to the commencement of alcohol service. The approved operations plan and conditions of approval shall be maintained onsite at all times. Upon a change of operator/concessionaire, an updated operations plan shall be submitted to the Bureau and the updated plan shall also be maintained on-site.

Table 1: Proposed Operating Hours
Food Service 7 am – 8 pm
Alcohol Service 10 am – 7 pm

In accordance with Long Beach Municipal Code (LBMC) Section 21.25.201, the purpose of a CUP is to allow the review of a proposed use to ensure that it is compatible with the adjacent uses. In In addition, LBMC 21.52.201 establishes a number of requirements for alcohol beverage sales.

Required findings include compliance with the required off-street parking; that the alcohol use not be in an overconcentration of alcohol licenses within the Census Tract; that the use not be located in a reporting district with a high crime rate as reported by the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD); and the use’s proximity to parks and schools. LBMC Section 21.25.100 allows these and conditions to be waived subject to written findings.

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS

The existing concession stand is an accessory use to the beach and previous conditions of approval issued by the Coastal Commission do not permit the reservation of parking within the beach parking lot for concession stand patrons. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages would not represent an intensification of use but would add menu items to an existing accessory use.

The existing beach parking lot serves as a first-come-first-served basis and has sufficient capacity to serve the existing beach primary use and accessory park amenities, which include the concession stand and recreation areas.

The subject property is located within Census Tract 5767 ABC recommends a maximum of four on-sale alcohol licenses for this census tract based on the current population within the tract.

There are currently nine active alcohol licenses for on-site consumption sales within this Census Tract (Attachment H – Map of ABC Licenses). While the census tract is currently over- concentrated and the addition of this license would further overconcentrate the census tract, the granting of the CUP would be consistent with the CUP approved for Alamitos Concession Stand Project. Alcoholic beverage sales would generate a small percentage of the overall sales as the primary use is a concession stand. The proposed alcohol license at this location would be limited to beer and wine. The outdoor seating area is subject to fluctuations in weather and seasonal trends, which is unique compared to a typical restaurant use. The closest on-sale license to the project site is located at 2300 East Ocean Boulevard (Long Beach Museum of Art), which is approximately 500 feet northwest of the site. The remaining licenses are located along East Broadway, approximately 1,300 feet to the north. Therefore, within the locational context of the site, the type of license, and the distance to other licenses locations, the overconcentration does not represent a condition that would create a nuisance with incorporation of the proposed conditions of approval.

The CUP for a Type 41 liquor license is requested as a service and convenience to the customers as an integral part of the dining experience. In considering a CUP for the sale of beer and wine at this location, staff evaluated the total number of reported crimes in the subject Police Reporting District. The site is located within Police Reporting District 433 within the East Division. The crime rate for this reporting district is 246, with the average being 97. Pursuant to Section 21.15.1338, "high crime" means a crime rate in a crime reporting district that is 20 percent above the City-wide average for all crimes. The threshold for high crime is 116. Therefore, this area is considered to be a high crime area. Section 21.52.201 of the Zoning Code requires that a new CUP for alcohol sales not be approved in a reporting district with a high crime rate as reported by the LBPD. The project site is in a high crime area. There were 17 calls for service attributed to the location from May 2021 to May 2022. Based on this information, the LBPD has included conditions of approval related to security cameras and lighting. With the proposed conditions of approval incorporated, the LBPD is not opposed to the approval of a Type 41 ABC license.

Staff consulted with the LBPD on this alcohol sales request and the LBPD expressed no opposition to approval provided the approval includes security measures including training, recognizable cups, prevention of loitering, and the incorporation of lighting and video surveillance. Conditions of approval address these concerns regarding the requested alcohol sales. Staff believes that approval of the CUP for alcohol sales would have a minimal impact on the surrounding community since this

land use the recommended conditions of approval would require the implementation of a number of operational measures designed to reduce any potential negative effects from the alcohol sales.

Staff recommends approval of the CUP with conditions for the project as necessary components of beach concession amenities that will increase and enhance active and passive beach recreational activities, based on the attached findings (Attachment I - Findings) and subject to the attached approval conditions.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
A total of 2,837 notices of public hearing were distributed within a 1,000-foot radius from the project site on July 7, 2022 in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 21.21 of the Zoning Regulations. As of the preparation of this report, one public comment has been received (Attachment J – Public Comment).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) this project is eligible for a categorical exemption per Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines (CE-22-113). The project would not involve new physical construction and would entail the service of alcoholic beverages from an existing food and beverage concession stand.

To whom it may concern:

It is my privilege to attest to the quality of the service and food at Saltwater Deck on Ocean Blvd. near the Junipero junction in Long Beach, CA. I am a local business operator in adjacent Wilmington, CA and often take my customers and other visitors for business lunches to Saltwater Deck and have been doing so for about a year now. My customers are largely in the marine, long shoring and stevedoring industry right here in the Long Beach Harbor, and we all really enjoy the time spent at Saltwater Deck.

We would certainly be very much obliged if they were to carry beer or other alcoholic beverages that can also be enjoyed (mostly by my customers) while we soak in the sunrays on the beach. I think this would be a very welcome addition to an already successful eatery and would certainly be appreciated by local business operators like myself.

Please feel free to contact me any time if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance to you.

To Whom It May Concern,

It is a pleasure to share my personal experience pertaining to the quality of service at Saltwater Deck. Upon the opening of Saltwater Deck, I noticed the staff members to be very warm and welcoming. I began noticing this pattern of excellent service each time I would visit the beachfront restaurant. Of the number of times I visited, I felt certain Saltwater Deck established a value system that encompasses employee satisfaction and exceptional customer service.

Within the last year, Saltwater Deck always displayed a safe and welcoming environment for all. Moreover, I have found the atmosphere to be safe, social, inclusive, and family-friendly which I value as a Long Beach resident. I really enjoy inviting my loved ones to the restaurant when the opportunity presents itself. Overall, it’s such a wonderful experience being a customer at Saltwater Deck.

Based on my observations in lieu of my personal experience at Saltwater Deck, I support their interest in distributing beer and wine beverages to pair with their food menu. I am confident that management will establish parameters and adequately prepare their team if this were in effect. Moreover, I find Saltwater Deck to have unquestionably sensible judgement if granted the opportunity to distribute alcoholic beverages, such as beer and wine.

In closing, I hope you take my feedback into consideration in support of Saltwater Deck. Thank you for your time!

Warm Regards,

Vanessa S.

Please share with the Planning Commissioners - I have included the menu for Saltwater Deck at the bottom of my e-mail - their Menu seems quite expensive to me - the Staff Report says the concessioners were to feature "...the stocking of relatively inexpensive snack items" but the menu shows the prices for what they offer.

Hello Maryanne and Christopher,

I just came across this Application for an Alcohol License at the Junipero Beach Concession Stand on the July 21st Planning Commission Agenda, and this seems like a very bad idea. Alcohol consumption on Long Beach

2 beaches is NOT ALLOWED and introducing alcohol sales and drinking at this location is counter to the City's existing Codes and existing signage on our beaches.

I just read through the Staff Report and see no reference to rules for drinking alcohol on the beach. The Parks and Recreation Department says drinking alcohol on the beaches is not allowed - and there are prominent signs on the beach saying NO Alcohol allowed. Shouldn't the current rules be presented to Planning Commission in the Staff Report. Isn't it going to be confusing to beach visitors that the City allows Alcohol Sales on the beach, but it's illegal and subject to Police action if a beachgoer consumes alcohol? Shouldn't the Planning Commission know this?

It appears that neither the Parks and Recreation Commission nor the Marine Advisory Commission were asked via an Agenda item for their opinion on having a CUP for Alcohol sales on the beach. Weren't these Commissions created to have input on these matters?

The CUP requires no Security Officer to be on hand to monitor rules and warn police if there are violations. It seems this location and the way the Concession Stand is run there will be no way to control and implement the rules. We're already short of Police Officers and Marine Safety to implement rules over drinking alcohol - this seems a significant additional burden.

I believe the Planning Commission should reject this application for Alcohol Service at this location - it's a bad idea and a bad precedent.

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,
Melinda Cotton

AGENDA ITEM No. 1 Development Services Planning Bureau
411 West Ocean Boulevard, 3rd Floor, Long Beach, CA 90802 (562) 570-6194

July 21, 2022

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
City of Long Beach
California

RECOMMENDATION:

Accept Categorical Exemption CE-22-113 and approve a Conditional Use Permit CUP22-002 for the onsite service of alcoholic beverages (Type 41 - On-Sale Beer & Wine – Eating Place) at the Junipero Concession Stand located at 2630 East Ocean Blvd in the Park (P) Zoning District. (District 2)

APPLICANT: Saltwater Deck
c/o Marvin Youssef
10805 Artesia Blvd, Unit 107
Cerritos, CA 90703
(Application No. 2201-03)

DISCUSSION
The Junipero Beach Concession Stand/Restroom Building is located on the sandy beach area at the east end of the Junipero Beach parking lot (also known as Cherry Beach) within the Park Zoning District (Attachment A - Vicinity Map). Vehicular access to the beach parking lot that serves the concession stand is maintained via a roadway leading from the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Junipero Avenue (terminus). The beach bicycle and pedestrian path is located directly north of the concession stand/restroom building and serves the project site. The existing bluff areas north of the site include stair access to Ocean Boulevard for pedestrians.

Areas immediately adjacent to the project site include a sandy beach area, basketball courts, a playground, exercise equipment, a rinse station, existing bicycle and pedestrian path. Surrounding land uses include park and beach areas, residential uses, and a museum. The site has a 1989 General Plan Land Use designation of Land Use District (LUD) No. 11 (Open Space).1 The project site is situated in the Coastal Zone. The concession stand building and outdoor seating area for the concession stand are located within the State's permit jurisdiction. The accessory recreation uses north of the concession stand (bicycle and pedestrian path, basketball courts, and exercise equipment) are located in the City’s Appealable Area. Therefore, the final coastal permit approval

1 The General Plan Land Use Element was updated in 2019 and has not yet been certified as part of the City’s Local Coastal Program. Therefore, the 1989 General Plan Land Use Element (1989) designation LUD No. 11 remains applicable to the project site.

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
July 21, 2022

for the service of alcoholic beverages in the existing outdoor seating area would require approval/clearance by the California Coastal Commission (Coastal Commission).

The site is currently developed with a 1,574-square-foot structure featuring a concession stand, restrooms, and outdoor storage (Attachment B – Site Photographs). The concession stand was remodeled in 2018. Within the City’s jurisdiction of the coastal zone, the remodel included the installation of exercise equipment with an accessible path, two basketball courts, and wayfinding signage on an existing paved beach path (Attachment C – Concession LCDP [App. No. 1703-39]).

Within the Coastal Commission’s Original Permit Jurisdiction, a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) was issued for the remodel of the concession/restroom building, consisting of a new screen wall separating restrooms from concession area, lockable storage space for vendors, shade structure, new concrete boardwalk connecting the concession with the bike path, a children’s playground, and other American’s with Disabilities Act improvements (Attachment D – Concession CDP [No. 5-17- 0796]). The concession stand vendor operates under a contract with the City of Long Beach and is required to comply with all conditions of approval issued under the local and states approvals, including all food service through the takeout window and the stocking of relatively inexpensive snack items. There is no full table service permitted within the dining/seating area, located within the sand and paved area between the existing palm trees and concession stand. The existing beach parking lot serves the concession stand (accessory use), and as conditioned, is required to be reserved for use of the general public and shall be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The operation of the concession stand at this location is consistent with the City’s certified Local Coastal Program (LCP).

While parks and open space uses are the primary land uses permitted in this land use district, accessory commercial uses, such as a food and beverage concession stand, are also permitted if intended to preserve natural areas, promote the mental and physical health of the community, and improve the park/beach visitor's overall experience. The proposed project meets the intent of this goal as the project would serve visitors of the surrounding beach areas.

Conditional Use Permit
The applicant is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow on-premises alcohol sales within the existing concession seating area. The applicant is requesting a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license (On-Sale Beer & Wine – Eating Place) which allows the sales of beer and wine for on-site consumption in conjunction with a bona fide eating place. The proposed service of alcohol would not involve physical construction or change the use/intensity of the concession stand. The nature of the proposed ABC license is for alcoholic beverage sales to be consumed onsite with the service of meals.

The concession stand use is considered a positive addition to beach recreational activities and enhances the visitor-serving nature of this coastal area. The existing concession stand maintains a takeout window for the services of food and beverages (Attachment E - Plans). Only concession stand staff are permitted within the interior of the kitchen, food prep, and food service areas of the concession stand. On-site consumption would be permitted only within the designated outdoor seating area on the sandy beach area. The service of alcohol in this area would not affect the special conditions related to public access issued by the Coastal Commission under CDP No. 5-17-0796.

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
July 21, 2022

Page 3 of 6 ends

The concession stand will only serve alcoholic beverages at time when food items are available for sale. The beach concessionaire has the ability to operate within the framework of the agreements with the City, which incorporate all entitlement approvals and conditions as exhibits.

The operator at this location proposes to limit alcoholic beverage sales to patrons who purchase a food item or present a receipt of purchase of a food item (Attachment F – Operations Plan). In addition, the applicant has proposed security measures and proper training for all staff for the responsible service of alcohol. Conditions of approval have been included to ensure that alcoholic beverages are served in a clear and recognizable cup and that all alcoholic beverage are consumed onsite within a delineated area (Attachment G - Conditions of Approval). The delineation of the seating area shall be in conformance with ABC requirements but shall not include a permanent railing system without the expressed approval by the Coastal Commission.

As conditioned, the ABC-required enclosures around the dining areas shall be a visually open, temporary rope (or similar) enclosure that is to be removed at the close of business each day. A sign shall be posted that reads “No Alcoholic Beverages Beyond This Point”. This permit does not modify public access management conditions for the seating area included in the previous approvals.

While the operations plan does include operating parameters for hours of alcohol service (Table 1: Proposed Operating Hours), the concession stand’s hours may operate reduced hours in the off season and in response to inclement weather. As CUP approvals run with the land and concessionaires change over time, operation plans also change. Therefore, conditions of approval have been incorporated to ensure the sale of alcoholic beverages would continue in an appropriate manner even when a change of operator occurs. As such, the conditions of approval require that the alcohol sales shall end a minimum of one hour prior to the close of business. In addition, the final operations plan shall be provided to the Development Service Department’s Planning Bureau (Bureau) prior to the commencement of alcohol service. The approved operations plan and conditions of approval shall be maintained onsite at all times. Upon a change of operator/concessionaire, an updated operations plan shall be submitted to the Bureau and the updated plan shall also be maintained on-site.

Table 1: Proposed Operating Hours
Food Service 7 am – 8 pm
Alcohol Service 10 am – 7 pm

In accordance with Long Beach Municipal Code (LBMC) Section 21.25.201, the purpose of a CUP is to allow the review of a proposed use to ensure that it is compatible with the adjacent uses. In In addition, LBMC 21.52.201 establishes a number of requirements for alcohol beverage sales.

Required findings include compliance with the required off-street parking; that the alcohol use not be in an overconcentration of alcohol licenses within the Census Tract; that the use not be located in a reporting district with a high crime rate as reported by the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD); and the use’s proximity to parks and schools. LBMC Section 21.25.100 allows these and conditions to be waived subject to written findings.

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS

The existing concession stand is an accessory use to the beach and previous conditions of approval issued by the Coastal Commission do not permit the reservation of parking within the beach parking lot for concession stand patrons. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages would not represent an intensification of use but would add menu items to an existing accessory use.

The existing beach parking lot serves as a first-come-first-served basis and has sufficient capacity to serve the existing beach primary use and accessory park amenities, which include the concession stand and recreation areas.

The subject property is located within Census Tract 5767 ABC recommends a maximum of four on-sale alcohol licenses for this census tract based on the current population within the tract.

There are currently nine active alcohol licenses for on-site consumption sales within this Census Tract (Attachment H – Map of ABC Licenses). While the census tract is currently over- concentrated and the addition of this license would further overconcentrate the census tract, the granting of the CUP would be consistent with the CUP approved for Alamitos Concession Stand Project. Alcoholic beverage sales would generate a small percentage of the overall sales as the primary use is a concession stand. The proposed alcohol license at this location would be limited to beer and wine. The outdoor seating area is subject to fluctuations in weather and seasonal trends, which is unique compared to a typical restaurant use. The closest on-sale license to the project site is located at 2300 East Ocean Boulevard (Long Beach Museum of Art), which is approximately 500 feet northwest of the site. The remaining licenses are located along East Broadway, approximately 1,300 feet to the north. Therefore, within the locational context of the site, the type of license, and the distance to other licenses locations, the overconcentration does not represent a condition that would create a nuisance with incorporation of the proposed conditions of approval.

The CUP for a Type 41 liquor license is requested as a service and convenience to the customers as an integral part of the dining experience. In considering a CUP for the sale of beer and wine at this location, staff evaluated the total number of reported crimes in the subject Police Reporting District. The site is located within Police Reporting District 433 within the East Division. The crime rate for this reporting district is 246, with the average being 97. Pursuant to Section 21.15.1338, "high crime" means a crime rate in a crime reporting district that is 20 percent above the City-wide average for all crimes. The threshold for high crime is 116. Therefore, this area is considered to be a high crime area. Section 21.52.201 of the Zoning Code requires that a new CUP for alcohol sales not be approved in a reporting district with a high crime rate as reported by the LBPD. The project site is in a high crime area. There were 17 calls for service attributed to the location from May 2021 to May 2022. Based on this information, the LBPD has included conditions of approval related to security cameras and lighting. With the proposed conditions of approval incorporated, the LBPD is not opposed to the approval of a Type 41 ABC license.

Staff consulted with the LBPD on this alcohol sales request and the LBPD expressed no opposition to approval provided the approval includes security measures including training, recognizable cups, prevention of loitering, and the incorporation of lighting and video surveillance. Conditions of approval address these concerns regarding the requested alcohol sales. Staff believes that approval of the CUP for alcohol sales would have a minimal impact on the surrounding community since this

land use the recommended conditions of approval would require the implementation of a number of operational measures designed to reduce any potential negative effects from the alcohol sales.

Staff recommends approval of the CUP with conditions for the project as necessary components of beach concession amenities that will increase and enhance active and passive beach recreational activities, based on the attached findings (Attachment I - Findings) and subject to the attached approval conditions.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
A total of 2,837 notices of public hearing were distributed within a 1,000-foot radius from the project site on July 7, 2022 in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 21.21 of the Zoning Regulations. As of the preparation of this report, one public comment has been received (Attachment J – Public Comment).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) this project is eligible for a categorical exemption per Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines (CE-22-113). The project would not involve new physical construction and would entail the service of alcoholic beverages from an existing food and beverage concession stand.

RE: agenda item 1 7/21/22 22-036PL

Commissioners,
Please deny an alcohol permit on Junipero Beach - or any beach for that matter.

Public spaces should remain an appropriate venue for families and be as free from stress and mishap as possible.

While alcohol is legal, we all know that there are many individuals that cannot manage drinking responsibly. Children (and the rest of us) should not be subjected to scenes of drunken behavior while on an outing to enjoy nature at the beach. Alcohol is known to impair judgement and we can count on it to require police response. Driving and parking can create a disaster with individuals under the influence.

I ask that you deny this CUP request and also that you maintain a policy of denying alcohol permits at the beach and our parks.

Respectfully,

Corliss Lee

GUIDE FOR PERSONS INTENDING TO SPEAK
This guide has been prepared as an aid so that you will be able to express your opinions briefly and clearly before the Commission and thus increase the effectiveness of your presentation. Remarks are generally limited to 3 minutes. 1. State your name and address. 2. Organization you represent, if any. 3. State whether for or against the proposal. 4. Your statement should include all pertinent facts within your knowledge; avoid gossip, emotion and repetition. It is important to discuss only those matters relating to the hearing and to tie your discussion of the facts directly to the decision you wish the Commission to reach. A clear, concise and non-repetitive argument is impressive. In order to have written material included in the Planning Commissioner’s mailed Agenda Packet, twelve (12) copies of the material must be delivered to the Department of Development Services, Planning Bureau, no later than ten (10) calendar days before the date of the Planning Commission Hearing. Written material that is presented to the Planning Commission after this date and up to 1:00 p.m. the day of the Planning Commission Hearing, will be included in the Commissioners’ Agenda folder, but may not be reviewed by the individual Commissioners due to the amount of material that the Commissioners have to review for the Agenda. Material presented to the Commission at the Hearing will be part of the record but also may not be reviewed by individual Commissioners.
