Requests for reasonable modification or accommodation from individuals with disabilities, consistent with the Americans
with Disabilities Act can be made by contacting the City Clerk's Office at (213) 978­1133. For Telecommunication Relay
Services for the hearing impaired, please see the information below.


Telecommunication Relay Services


Telephone communication is one of the most important forms of communication in society today. Due to advancements in
technology, telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing,
and individuals with a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating to more advanced
telecommunications methods, both for peer­to­peer and third­party telecommunications relay service (TRS)
communications. Telecommunications Relay Service is a telephone service that allows persons with hearing or speech
disabilities to place and receive telephone calls. TRS is available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and
the U.S. territories for local and/or long distance calls. TRS providers ­ generally telephone companies ­ are compensated
for the costs of providing TRS from either a state or a federal fund. There is no cost to the TRS user.


What forms of TRS are available? There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and the
equipment available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY­Based TRS; Speech­to­Speech Relay Service; Shared Non­English
Language Relay Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video Relay Service.
Please visit this site for detail descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications­relay­service­trs.


Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the CA is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello. This is
the relay service .. . " when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS provider, to a
person who is deaf, hard­of­hearing, or has a speech disability.

Office of the City Clerk, Council and Public Services Division, Room 395, City Hall, 200 North Spring Street, Los Angeles,

Ten (10) members of the Council constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The Council may consider an item not
listed on the agenda only if it is determined by a two­thirds (10) vote that the need for action arose after the posting of an
Agenda. Some items on the agenda may be approved without any discussion, however, any item may be called "special"
by a Councilmember. If an item is called "special" it will be "held" until the remainder of the items on the Council agenda
have been acted on by the Council. An item may also be called "special" if a member of the public has requested to speak
on the item and a public hearing was not previously held.


The City Clerk will announce the items to be considered by the Council, however items will be grouped. For example, all
items for which required public hearings have not previously been held are listed in one section on the printed agenda. The
Council President will ask if any Councilmember or member or the public wishes to speak on one or more of these items. If
anyone wishes to speak on an item, it will be called "special". The remaining items in this section will be voted on by
Council with one roll call vote.


PUBLIC INPUT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS ­ An opportunity for the public to address the Council on agenda items for
which public hearings have not been held will be provided at the time the item is considered or during the Multiple Agenda
Item Comment period. Members of the public who wish to speak on items shall be allowed to speak for up to one minute
per item up to a total of three minutes per meeting. The Council has determined that a cumulative total of 20 minutes is a
reasonable minimum amount of time for the Multiple Agenda Item segment of each regular meeting.


The Council will also provide an opportunity for the public to speak on public interest items. Each speaker shall be limited to
one minute of general public comment each regular meeting for a cumulative total of ten (10) minutes. The Council shall not
discuss or take action relative to any general public comment.


If you wish to provide documents to the full Council for consideration on an item, please present the Sergeant­At­Arms with
35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record.


COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND TIME LIMITS ­ Councilmembers requesting to address the Council will be recognized by the
Council President in the order requested. For any item, the Chairperson of the Committee, or the maker of the original
motion, or the member calling a matter "special" shall have up to six (6) minutes to discuss the item. All other
Councilmembers may speak up to three (3) minutes each on the matter. After all members desiring to speak on a question
have had an opportunity to be heard once, the time for each Member desiring to speak again shall be limited to a maximum
of three (3) minutes.


A motion calling the "previous question" may be introduced by any member during a Council debate. If adopted, this motion
will terminate debate on a matter and the Chair will instruct the Clerk to call the roll on the matter.


VOTING AND DISPOSITION OF ITEMS ­ Most items require a majority vote of the entire membership of the Council (8
members). Items which have not been discussed in a Council Committee and have been placed directly on the agenda will
require 10 votes to consider. Once considered, these items will normally require eight (8) affirmative votes to be adopted.
Ordinances require a unanimous vote (at least 12 members must be present) in order to be adopted on first consideration. If
an ordinance does not receive the necessary unanimous vote, it is laid over one calendar week. The votes required for
approval on second consideration vary and depend upon the type of ordinance, but a typical ordinance requires eight (8)
affirmative votes upon second consideration.

motion, or the member calling a matter "special" shall have up to six (6) minutes to discuss the item. All other

When debate on an item is completed, the Chair will instruct the Clerk to "call the roll". Every member present must vote for
or against each item; abstentions are not permitted. The Clerk will announce the votes on each item. Any member of
Council may move to "reconsider" any vote on any item on the agenda, except to adjourn, suspend the Rules, or where an
intervening event has deprived the Council of jurisdiction, providing that said member originally voted on the prevailing side of
the item. The motion to "reconsider" shall only be in order once during the meeting, and once during the next regular
meeting. The member requesting reconsideration shall identify for all members present the agenda number, Council file
number and subject matter previously voted upon. A motion to reconsider is not debatable and shall require an affirmative
vote of eight (8) members of the Council.


When the Council has failed by sufficient votes to approve or reject an item, and has not lost jurisdiction over the matter, or
has not caused it to be continued beyond the next regular meeting, the item is continued to the next regular meeting for the
purpose of allowing the Council to again vote on the matter.


The City Council rules provide that all items adopted by the Council will not be presented to the Mayor, or other designated
officer by the City Clerk until the adjournment of the regular Council meeting following the date of the Council action. A
motion to send an item "forthwith" if adopted by ten (10) votes, suspends these rules and requires the City Clerk to forward
the matter to the Mayor, or other officer, without delay.

 RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, the restaurant and hospitality industry is a vitally important part of the City's
economy employing 380,000 and generating more than $200 million in tax revenues to the City
prior to the COVID-19 pandemic; and

WHEREAS, under the Los Angeles Municipal Code, a restaurant can only be permitted to sale
alcohol by obtaining a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) or meeting the eligibility requirements for
a Conditional Use Exception (CUE); and

WHEREAS, the CUP process can often be time consuming and costly for both applicants and
City staff and resources, hindering entrepreneurs' ability to create or expand their businesses;
and

WHEREAS, very few restaurants are eligible for and have utilized the CUE process; and

WHEREAS, the City recognizes that the public health and economic impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic, and further appreciates the need to facilitate temporary Zoning Code relief to
support the local economy and livelihood of those living and working in the City; and

WHEREAS, the City created a new streamlined process known as the Restaurant Beverage
Program for sit-down restaurants only as an alternative to the CUP and CUE process to
remove economic and time constraints and promote economic development; and

WHEREAS, this ordinance will contain more and stricter standards than those typically
imposed during the CUP or CUE process and require participating restaurants to be subject to
enforcement procedures; and

WHEREAS, the City has undertaken an environmental review of the proposed provisions and
found that will not have a significant effect on the environment (ENV-2018-4661-ND), and
further found that aspects of the proposed regulatory relief are exempt from environmental
review (ENV-2020-3154-CE); and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that by the adoption of this Resolution, the Council
hereby activates a new streamlined permitting land use regulatory process, the Restaurant
Beverage Program, that shall be in force and full effect in the geographical boundaries

 EXHIBIT B



1. The Restaurant Beverage Program (RBP) will provide a public necessity within the
 areas mapped in Exhibit A by removing financial barriers for sit-down restaurants
 and promoting economic development, in light of the financial impacts associated
 with the COVID-19 pandemic.

 The restaurant and hospitality industry is an important part of the City's economy,
 employing more than 380,000 people and generating more than $200 million in tax
 revenue to the City during pre-pandemic levels. The proposed Ordinance will preserve
 and strengthen a viable sector of the City's economy by creating the RBP, which will
 reduce the costs and time for sit-down restaurants in the mapped areas to obtain City
 approval to serve alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption, while subjecting them to
 more than 50 provisions. Alcohol service provides a substation portion of restaurants'
 revenue and often make or break their viability as a business, however, restaurants with
 alcohol sales must meet both state and local regulations for serving alcohol. The RBP
 will offer an administrative clearance process to allow the sale of alcohol in sit-down
 restaurants with an operating kitchen and a full menu. In addition, new restaurants with
 alcohol service under the RBP will be subject to enforcement measures and security
 standards. This in-turn will provide long-term financial incentives as it will bolster the
 opening of new restaurants, enable the hiring of new employees, and create more
 vibrant neighborhoods.

 The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent stay-at-home and indoor restrictions have
 presented unprecedented financial challenges to sit-down restaurants throughout the
 City, namely those located within the mapped areas. A simpler, more predictable, less
 costly process to serve alcoholic beverages would ease some of the burdens placed on
 impacted restaurants, giving them a boost and reducing the time needed for them to
 re-open and start hiring people. As such, the RBP will create a service that is beneficial
 to the community, City, and region mapped by reducing the amount of entry barriers for
 new local restaurants.

2. The RBP will provide a public convenience within the areas mapped in Exhibit A
 by accommodating the demand for an amenity that will serve residents, workers,
 employees, and visitors.

 A variety of uses, including sit-down restaurants, are necessary for the conservation,
 development, and success of a vibrant neighborhood. The proposed. RBP reflects a shift
 in how the City will process alcohol requests for eligible sit-down restaurants. As such,
 the RBP will provide local sit-down restaurants with a boost, which will allow them to
 open quicker, expand, hire employees, and become an economically viable business. By
 creating a consistent and streamlined review of alcohol requests, the RBP will create
 more vibrant neighborhoods that will benefit employees, local residents, and visitors
 leading to the growth of regulated sit-down restaurants within the mapped areas, which
 are planned and zoned for commercial uses such as restaurants.

 On-site alcohol service incidental to food service is an amenity that is often expected in
 bona fide sit-down restaurants. The local community, employees, patrons of adjacent
 commercial uses, and the residents in the neighborhood will be able to utilize the
 benefits of having on-site sit-down restaurants and alcohol service nearby. Furthermore,
 the RBP incorporates more than 50 operating standards to ensure that the alcohol
 service will not be disruptive to the community.

3. The RBP contains more than 50 provisions to ensure that it will not adversely
 affect the welfare of the areas mapped in Exhibit A.

 The RB P's provisions are intended to protect the public health, welfare, and safety of the
 communities within the mapped areas. The City is establishing operational and enforcing
 policies via the RBP to regulate alcohol service in eligible sit-down restaurants.
 Therefore, alcohol service under the RBP must be incidental to food service on-site
 consumption. This means that high-impact uses such as bars, nightclubs, and liquor
 stores will not be eligible under the RBP and must obtain a Conditional Use Permit
 (CUP). Eligible restaurants will not be allowed to have dancing, live entertainment, pool
 tables, and portable bars. Bar-like practices, such as minimum drink purchase,
 admission charges, and age limitations, will also be prohibited.

 Operating standards will ensure that impacts to the community, such as noise, will be
 kept at a minimum. The RBP will prohibit the use of television monitors and speakers in
 outdoor areas. Restaurants will also be required to remove graffiti, clean debris and litter,
 maintain an electronic age verification device, and respond to patron complaints in a
 timely manner. As a means of establishing additional safety policies, the RBP contains
 interior and exterior lighting requirements and will require restaurants to install and
 maintain a camera surveillance system in operation at all times. In addition, all
 employees involved with the sale of alcohol will be subject to regulatory safety practices
 such as enrolling in an alcohol safety training program offered by the Los Angeles Police
 Department and/or the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
 Restaurants that repeatedly violate the RBP's provisions will be suspended from the
 Program and be required to obtain a CUP to continue to sell alcohol.

 Lastly, the RBP or proposed Ordinance does not authorize any new construction, nor
 result in construction activities that would change the size, height, or other significant
 features of existing buildings and therefore not degrade adjacent properties, the
 surrounding neighborhood, or the public health, welfare, and safety of the public at large.
 Therefore, the RBP, the proposed Ordinance, operations, and other significant features
 will be compatible with and not adversely affect or degrade adjacent properties, the
 surrounding neighborhood, or the public health, welfare, and safety of the mapped
 areas.
.-



 4. The RBP will follow good zoning practices by encouraging economic development
 in the areas mapped while limiting the impact of commercial activity on residential
 areas and other sensitive uses through strict provisions.

 The mapped areas are well suited for sit-down restaurants that offer alcohol service,
 which are planned and zoned for commercial uses such as restaurants. This will
 promote livability and convenience for residents and employees, promote a variety of
 uses, and strengthen the employment and amenity base of the mapped areas. As such,
 the RBP substantially conforms to the purpose, intent, and provisions of the General
 Plan, the applicable community plan, and any specific plan.

 At the same time, the RBP serves the purpose of imposing provisions aimed at limiting
 impacts to surrounding neighbors, including residential areas and other sensitive uses.
 The RBP will only be applicable in specific commercial and manufacturing zones where
 alcohol service is currently allowed through a CUP. In addition, the RBP includes
 numerous operational restrictions related to indoor and outdoor seating, allowed
 activities, and bar-like practices to limit noise and other impacts. Additional provisions
 concerning operations, security, monitoring, and enforcement are included. Any changes
 to the mode of operations of the restaurant, including hours of operation and seating, will
 not be permitted. Therefore, the RBP will follow good zoning practices by encouraging
 economic development while limiting the impact of commercial activity on nearby
 residential areas and other sensitive uses through strict and enforcing provisions.
 RULES. ELECTIONS. INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
 RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, renters constitute over 60% of households in the City of Los Angeles; and

WHEREAS, Los Angeles' renters are students, immigrants, seniors, workers, low- and
middle-income families, transit riders, and more, reflecting our city's diversity and driving our
economy; and

WHEREAS, Los Angeles is now the most unaffordable rental market in the nation, where an
average 1-bedroom apartment costs $2,395 a month; and

WHEREAS, in April 2014, tenant rights groups, affordable housing developers, and other
advocates created Renters' Day LA to highlight the rental crisis and to call for urgent action; and

WHEREAS, since then, significant progress has been made to keep vulnerable renters housed
through increases in the minimum wage, expanded tenant protections, and funding to create
and preserve affordable housing; and

WHEREAS, despite this progress, extreme housing unaffordability persists, and renters
currently need to earn over $45 per hour, nearly 3 times the local minimum wage , to afford the
average asking rent in LA County; and

WHEREAS, 6 of 10 renter households in Los Angeles are rent-burdened and 3 of 10 are
severely rent-burdened, meaning they spend over 50% of their income on rent, leaving less in
their budgets for health care, childcare, education, healthy food, savings and retirement, and
other household costs; and

WHEREAS, for all but the highest-income earners, conventional pathways to homeownership in
Los Angeles are largely inaccessible due to the extraordinary cost of purchasing a house,
depriving low-income families of intergenerational housing stability and wealth development;
and

WHEREAS, existing programs to increase development and access to affordable housing such
as Low Income Housing Tax Credits, federal housing choice vouchers, and various rental
subsidy initiatives depend on the private housing market, which is driven by rampant
speculation and ultimately prioritizes profit over universal access to housing; and

WHEREAS, in other countries and major cities outside the U.S., alternative housing models
such as social housing exist alongside privately owned rentals in order to serve households of
all-income levels, particularly those in need of the deepest affordability; and

WHEREAS, in November 2020, the City Council requested report backs from various City
departments pursuant to Council FIie 20-0197, in order to explore the funding and policy
feasibility of establishing a social housing program in the City of Los Angeles; and

WHEREAS, the development of social housing in Los Angeles could benefit renters across the

 APR 1 9 2023
socioeconomic and geographic spectrum while providing the long-term affordability and housing
stability that leads to more sustainable, diverse communities; and

WHEREAS, social housing includes models for collective homeownership and resident
management for low-income households, providing an opportunity for lower-income residents to
afford homes and lay down roots in a community; and

WHEREAS, according to the Regional Housing Needs Assessment, Los Angeles City must plan
for 456,643 units, including 130,543 for lower-income households, by the year 2029,
representing a major opportunity to develop alternative rental and homeownership stock; and

WHEREAS, in 2022, a majority of Los Angeles voters passed Measure ULA, which dedicates a
significant portion (22-25%) of tax revenue generated for a new program entitled "Alternative
Models for Permanent Affordable Housing," prioritizing scale, speed, flexibility, longevity of
public benefit through permanent affordability and an enhanced role of residents in their own
housing; and

WHEREAS, the recently declared homeless state of emergency and the ongoing housing crisis
that informs it demand that we explore innovative, bold, and sustainable solutions so that all
Angelenos can have a safe, healthy, and affordable place to live.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that by the adoption of this Resolution, the City of Los
Angeles recognizes the urgent need to pursue social housing as a model to ensure safe,
healthy, and affordable homes for all residents of Los Angeles.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City must explore methods addressing the housing and
homelessness crisis, including social housing, that operate outside of the private housing
market.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Los Angeles hereby includes in its 2023-2024
State Legislative Program SUPPORT for legislation that would support the development of
social housing in the City of Los Angeles.

 MOTION
 DISABILllY

The City of Los Angeles recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the County
of Los Angeles, Department of Consumer and Business Affairs, Office of Immigrant Affairs
(DCBA-OIA), to provide immigrant legal services through the RepresentLA Program, a comprehensive
initiative that provides free legal representation for individuals in removal proceedings, legal counsel and
representation for vulnerable individuals seeking affirmative immigration relief, resource linkage to vital
support services, and outreach and education to Los Angeles County residents in underserved
communities.

This program, which began as the Justice Fund, has provided critical legal services to hundreds of
immigrants across the County, keeping families together and protecting the rich cultural and racial
diversity that is central to the beauty and identity of Los Angeles.

Over the last several years, the City has invested significantly into these initiatives and the recent
approval of the RepresentLA MOU demonstrates our ongoing commitment to support the immigrants of
Los Angeles. Currently, however, the City only supports two of the four core pillars of the RepresentLA
program: Community Support and Affirmative Immigration Benefits Representation. We currently do not
support either Detained or Non-Detained Deportation Defense. The City should fully invest in these life
saving programs, and not restrict which facets of this program we support.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Community Investment for Families
Department, with the assistance of the City Attorney and the Chief Legislative Analyst, to work with the
Los Angeles County Office of Immigrant Affairs, to prepare and present an amended Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) for the RepresentLA program that expands the eligible uses of allocated City
funds to include detained and non-detained merits-blind removal defense.

 MOTION


The Los Angeles Municipal Code provides that the City Council may initiate consideration of a
proposed designation of a site, building or structure as a Historical-Cultural Monument. A
Historical-Cultural Monument is defined as any site (including significant trees or other plant life
located on the site), building or structure of particular historic or cultural significance to the City
of Los Angeles, including historic structures or sites in which the broad cultural, economic or
social history of the nation, State or c01mnunity is reflected or exemplified; or which is identified
with historic personages or with important events in the main currents of national, State or local
history; or which embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen,
inherently valuable for a study of a period, style or method of construction; or a notable work of a
master builder, designer, or architect whose individual genius influenced his or her age.

1802 South Crenshaw Boulevard is a significant example of early 20th century architecture in Los
Angeles and is one of the few remaining examples of its type of Craftsman architecture in the city.
The house was built in 1915 by and for the Cunningham family, pioneers in the mortuary business
and founders of Cussen & Cunningham which became Cunningham & O'Connor Mortuary. It is
one of the best examples of American Foresquare architecture in Los Angeles with high quality
design and craftsmanship. The house features a number of unique and distinctive features,
including a rooftop veranda, a built-in organ, glazed brick porch and chimney, and porte cochere.
The house has been well-maintained over the years, and it retains its original character and charm.
1802 South Crenshaw Boulevard is an important part of the city's history and culture, was reviewed
by the Office of Historic Resources in November 2015, and is a valuable asset to the community.
This property should be reviewed by the City Planning Department and the Cultural Heritage
Commission for consideration of Historical-Cultural Monument status.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Historic Resources Division of the City
Planning Department to prepare the application relative to considering the inclusion of 1802 South
Crenshaw Boulevard in the list of Historical-Cultural Monuments and to submit the application to
the Cultural Heritage Commission for review and consideration.

I FURTHER MOVE that after reviewing the application, the Cultural Heritage Commission
submit a report to the City Council regarding the potential inclusion of 1802 South Crenshaw
Boulevard in the City's list of Historic-Cultural Monuments.
