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 peer-to-peer and third-party 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 TIY-Based TRS; Speech-to-Speech Relay Service; Shared Non-
English 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/telecommunications-relay-
service-trs.

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, hard-of-hearing, or has a speech disability.

For more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people with disabilities,
visit the FCC's Disability Rights Office website.

 BASIC CITY COUNCIL MEETING RULES

AGENDAS - The City Council meets Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 A.M. The agendas for City Council
meetings contain a brief general description of those items to be considered at the meetings. Council Agendas are
available in the Office of the City Clerk, Council and Public Services Division, Room 395, City Hall, 200 North Spring
Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, and on the City's website at lacity.org; or lacouncilcalendar.com.

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 two-thirds (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 Sergeant-At-Arms
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




 Friday - May 6, 2022 - PAGE 3
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.

NOTICE TO PAID REPRESENTATIVES - If you are compensated to monitor, attend, or speak at this meeting, City
law may require you to register as a lobbyist and report your activity. See Los Angeles Municipal Code 48.01 et seq.
More information is available at ethics.lacity.org/lobbying. For assistance, please contact the Ethics Commission at (213)
978-1960 or ethics.commission@lacity.org.

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.

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.

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.

RULE 16 MOTIONS - Council Rule No. 16, in part, allows a member to send an item directly to the Council without it
having to go to a Council Committee first, by giving the City Clerk a motion (seconded by an additional member) during
a Council session to be placed on the next regular available Council agenda.

 COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the Proposition 68 Round Three grant
 award for El Sereno Arroyo playground expansion, termination of the grant
 agreement, and transfer of the grant award to the Trust for Public Land
 (TPL).

 Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF
 THE MAYOR:

 1. APPROVE the termination of the Grant Agreement C9801056
 between the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation
 (State Parks) and the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP).

 2. AUTHORIZE the General Manager, RAP, or designee, to approve the

 the Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners (Board) report,
 dated February 4, 2022, attached to the Council file, which was
 previously approved by the Board through Board Report 19-165, and
 further detailed in Report No. 22-020, attached to the Council file.


 Fiscal Impact Statement: The Board reports that the approval will have no
 immediate fiscal impact on RAP’s General Fund. RAP has, to date, paid
 TPL in the amount of $15,000 for services related to community
 engagement and grant writing for the Grant under Grant Contract No.
 9801056. The grant writing portion in the amount of $9,943 is not an




 Friday - May 6, 2022 - PAGE 12
 allowable expenditure under the terms of the Proposition 68 program, and
 those costs were expended by RAP in developing its application for the
 Grant. The community engagement activities are an allowable portion of
 the Proposition 68 program and as such, RAP would have sought
 reimbursement from State Parks under the Grant. Upon transfer of the
 Grant to TPL, TPL shall be required to reimburse RAP the portion for the
 community engagement in the amount of $5,057, and then seek
 reimbursement from State Parks under its Grant award for the Project. TPL
 is required to reimburse RAP prior to the close of the Project with State
 Parks. The on-going maintenance and operations of the park expansion
 will be included in future budget requests and be an extension of the
 existing maintenance and operations of the property parcels already
 managed by the RAP.

 further detailed in Report No. 22-020, attached to the Council file.

 allowable expenditure under the terms of the Proposition 68 program, and

 Grant. The community engagement activities are an allowable portion of
 the Proposition 68 program and as such, RAP would have sought
 reimbursement from State Parks under the Grant. Upon transfer of the
 Grant to TPL, TPL shall be required to reimburse RAP the portion for the
 community engagement in the amount of $5,057, and then seek
 reimbursement from State Parks under its Grant award for the Project. TPL
 is required to reimburse RAP prior to the close of the Project with State
 Parks. The on-going maintenance and operations of the park expansion
 will be included in future budget requests and be an extension of the
 existing maintenance and operations of the property parcels already
 managed by the RAP.

 cNERGY CLIMATE CHANGE, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE &RIVER
 MOTION

City leaders are at the forefront of municipal governments in developing a future based
on a 100% carbon-free energy system. In 2016, the Los Angeles Department of Water
and Power (DWP) partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy to conduct a study
under CF 16-0243, that provided objective science-based recommendations on
different paths to 100% carbon-free energy. DWP and the City are working diligently to
analyze that study and to plan the most effective strategies to achieve decarbonization
by 2035 through preparing the Strategic Long Term Resource Plan (STLRP) as
requested under CF 21-0352. These policies have many moving parts and require our
collective expertise to dedicate focused attention on the matters of electric vehicles (EV)
infrastructure, photo-voltaic installation and generation, solar storage technology, and
building electrification. The Los Angeles City power profile is stark: over 7880 GW total
capacity, over 3600 miles of transmission lines into the city, over 10,400 miles of
distribution citywide, and all in a city with over 4 million city residents.

Much work is needed in order to prepare today's power grid for an electrified city of the
future. The City must be prudent and practical to be effective as it moves forward, yet
act with urgency to combat climate change, a warming planet and offset urban heat
mitigation. One evident fact remains that the systems and equipment in place now are
inadequate to meet our future goals. In particular, the goal of electrification requires a
power grid that is more technologically advanced, possibly decentralized, in order to
meet the demands of a renewable portfolio. It would be helpful if DWP can provide an
outline to the City of how Los Angeles will reach this goal. This plan should take into
account citywide building energy electrification and decarbonization (CF: 21-1039), the
EV Master Plan process (CF: 21-0890), and the recently introduced effort to end all gas
powered equipment, appliance and vehicle purchases for all city departments.

Internally, the City Council is working to create green, sustainable and organized city
departments that are ready for the practical questions on decarbonization, including
equipment/appliance and vehicle procurement. The Department of Water and Power
should report on the grid needs of today and tomorrow, with a focus on outreach and
disadvantaged communities. Moreover, a new and efficient approach to all city
electrification and solarization is needed, which includes practical electrical needs,
statutory and legal frameworks for the modern city and grid of the future.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Department of Water and Power (DWP) report on the
needs to improve the Los Angeles power grid infrastructure (transmission and
distribution) to properly facilitate future investments into sustainable energy methods
such as but not limited to electrification, distributed energy resources, energy storage,
and micro-grids, and that said report also identify: a) LADWP current planned
infrastructure investments, operational challenges in current and future facilities,
equipment needs, and especially labor needs (in-house and contractors); b)
environmental regulations or other statutory, legal obstacles; and, c) a timeframe for
urgent, immediate, medium and long term improvement needs related to the power
grid's infrastructure

 MAY 0 6 2022
 ~~
I FURTHER MOVE that the Bureau of Engineering, with the assistance of the
Department of Water and Power, General Services Department and City Administrative
Office, conduct an analysis on the electrical load and upgrades needed for all city and
city-proprietary departments, in order to prepare all city buildings and facilities for full
electrification and decarbonization, and report back with partnership opportunities with
all City agencies related to commercial electrification

I FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Water and Power, and the CAO, with the
assistance of the City Attorney report to Council with a new All-City master MOU,
including but not limited to solar electrification, electrical load needs, grid connected I
distributed energy resources, energy storage, and all other power grid I city connected
components for all city departments, including the Port of Los Angeles Department and
the Los Angeles World Airport Department

 ENERGY. CLIMATE CHANGE. ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE &RIVEP
 MOTION

This year marks the third consecutive year of climate-exacerbated water scarcity, highlighted by
the three driest months on record this very year (January - March 2022). On March 28th 2022,
Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-7-22, which requires that local water suppliers
move to "Level 2" of their water shortage contingency plans, meaning a reduction of 10-20%
within a district. The Governor's state of emergency declaration aims at urban and other water
suppliers, requiring a variety of plans and updates to be developed for State regulators, due on
June 1, 2022.

In Southern California.the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) is the largest aggregate purchaser
of water for over 26 member agencies, collectively working to bring water to over 19 million
people across six counties. Angelenos own and oversee the largest municipal water and
power agency in the country in the Department of Water and Power (LADWP) -- the region is a
statewide and national leader with respect to water stewardship. While both LADWP and the
greater Metropolitan Water District collaborate to meet the intensity of practical issues faced by
ratepayers and local governments, a clearer direction and focus on long-term fundamental
issues is needed to meet the urgency of the moment.

The most recent MWD Board of Directors meeting saw an adoption of the following: 1) A
declaration of a water shortage emergency condition; 2) An adopted framework which included
two options for member agencies to comply under the drought conditions, and; 3) support for
the Governor's statewide declaration. According to the Los Angeles Municipal Code, sec.
121.07 (B): "The Department shall monitor and evaluate the projected supply and demand for
water by its customers monthly ... the Mayor may, with concurrence of the Council, order that the
appropriate water conservation be implemented ... ". The MWD board action requires member
agencies to respond to its adopted policy by June 1, 2022; the board action also includes
criteria for enforcement of the rules when a member agency is in non-compliance.
 /




While the City complies with the Governor's emergency declaration and the MWD Board action,
it is imperative that LADWP and MWD staff report to Council on areas of mutual collaboration
with respect to conservation, procurement, infrastructure, short- and long-range planning, and
how local water supply projects provide good, well-paying jobs. Angelenos must fully
understand all possible avenues and options that public institutions will recommend , such as the
recently-proposed statewide ban on irrigation of "non-functional grass (turf)". Further, an
expansion of LADWP and MWD budgets focusing on conservation is needed to reflect an
all-hands-on-deck approach for the region with respect to water-saving strategies for all
ratepayers, residents and business owners.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Department of Water and Power and the Metropolitan Water
District report on current and projected water drought conditions statewide from all sources of
water, including stored water supplies and conveyance infrastructure, and potential impacts to

options to conserve water.

 MOTION
 ENERGY, CLIMATE CHANGE, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE &RIVER
The City of Los Angeles consists of over 590+ buildings, and over 16,000 acres of
parkland resulting in over 400+ park sites. Add to that the Port of Los Angeles (POLA),
Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), and the Department of Water and Power (DWP),
the carbon footprint of the City is vast. Since the City has yet to fully electrify its
buildings and vehicles, by default the City of Los Angeles is a major purchaser of gas
powered appliances, equipment and vehicles. It is the intent of the Council to electrify
the City.

In November, Council (CF: 21-1039) directed multiple city agencies to work together in
ensuring carbon free city buildings with solar photovoltaic panels installation and site
electrification as top priorities. The policy is capturing city locations for these
investments, from park sites to libraries, recreation centers to vehicle and equipment
yards. However, as of today the General Services Department (GSD) is still processing
dozens of requests from City departments to purchase gas powered equipment for
onsite building needs. In one recent example, the Library Department (LAPL) worked
with GSD to replace 23 heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC) - all of
which would have been gas powered. GSD and LAPL flagged these purchases for
review, and will be able to electrify the majority of these all gas powered, 15-25 year life
span building appliances.

A coordinated all agency policy must be developed and adopted in order to facilitate the
electrification of all City buildings and facilities. The Bureau of Engineering (BOE),
GSD, RAP and DWP must also work with the Department of Building and Safety
(LADBS) to ensure that power load needs and onsite building conditions are right for
this type of equipment conversion. Additionally, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA),
the Port of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power will need
to report on their plans to meet this goal. Further, both RAP and LAWA work with
dozens of concessionaires that will need support in order to decarbonize and electrify
their functions.

This work is difficult and will require investment, planning and careful oversight. There
are many factors involved when switching a heating, ventilation and air conditioning
system that uses gas (HVAC), or boilers, water heaters and other gas powered -~
appliances to an all electric option. Equipment weight and size, code requirements "
(Title 24 ), and engineering challenges are components that will need to be considered.
A thorough review of all pending purchase orders for all buildings, including
proprietaries, is needed in order to assist the Council priorities of electrification, solar
photovoltaic installation and electric vehicle adoption. This review should result in a list
of gas equipment procurement which is canceled, rerouted, or otherwise wholly
replaced gas for electrical equipment purchases, while a more concise and organized
policy is developed.

 MAY 0 6 2022
 M(jib~
  Ensuring that the City's procurement policy is in line with CF 21-1039 (electrification,
''retrofit and solarization of all city buildings and facilities) and 21-0890 (EV Master Plan)
 is a major priority of the Council. Further, to offset any potential increased electrical
 costs, the Department of Water and Power should work with each city agency per site,
 to ensure that DWP commercial rebate and incentive schedules are maximized.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council DIRECT the City Administrative Officer, General
Services Department, the Department of Recreation and Parks, LA Public Library
Department, and the Bureau of Engineering, with the assistance of the Department of
Water and Power, and all City Departments as needed, report to Council with a plan and
timeline to end all gas powered vehicle, building appliance and equipment usage and
purchases, including but not limited to the following considerations:

 • That this plan organizes, tiers and provides for the review of all current and future
 gas powered vehicle, appliance and equipment purchases in all departments, in
 order to align with CF: 21-1039 and 21-0890
 • That this plan include feedback from all departments for a limited exemptions
 process which takes into account practical issues such as procurement,
 technology and other sensitivities
 • That this report have recommendations to amend and update all procurement
 processes in order to electrify and decarbonize all city functions
 • That Departments clearly identify fully decarbonized locations, facilities or parks,
 clearly showing electrified conversions citywide

I FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Water and Power, the Port of Los Angeles,
and Los Angeles World Airports, report to Council with a similar report which organizes,
tiers and reviews all gas powered building equipment purchases as stated above, with
the goal of transitioning all gas vehicle, equipment and appliance purchases to all
electric components

I FURTHER MOVE that Los Angeles World Airports, the Port of Los Angeles, and the
Department of Recreation and Parks report to Council with a plan to electrify and
decarbonize all concessionaire partnerships; this report should take into account
business needs and concerns

I FURTHER MOVE that the each customer of record per each electrified city property
be submitted by the appropriate city agency for review under the Department of Water
and Power's commercial electrification incentive and rebate program

 MOTION PERSONNEL, AUDITS, & ANIMAL WELFARE:


Over the last decade, both the City Council and the Mayor have made requests to the Department
of Animal Services (LAAS) for increased public educational programs and an updated, more
user-friendly website. As its budget was buffeted by economic fluctuations and a need to focus
on staffing needs, LAAS was unable to attend to these requests on a consistent basis.

Then, in 2019, with the guidance of the Board of Animal Services Commissioners, LAAS
determined that bringing in outside assistance was the most efficacious method to take on the
challenge of the Mayor's and Council's requests. The contractor hired would have to provide
marketing and public relations as well as embark on a fundraising campaign to bolster the
Department's budget.

After a year-long procurement process involving a Request For Proposals and eight respondents,
the City Council approved a contract (C-137526) with The Glue, LLC, a women-owned firm that
brought a multi-layered approach to undertaking the tasks at hand. In November 2020, the City
Council approved a contract with The Glue, LLC, to provide marketing, branding, and increased
public outreach for educational programs such as Pet Laws, Licensing and Spay Neuter,
fundraising services to bolster the Department's budget, as well as website development social
media services.

Now that The Glue, LLC, has had more than a year to work on its assignments, it would be
appropriate for the firm, along with the management of LAAS, to provide an update to the
Council on the status of its work and the progress made to date.

I THEREFORE MOVE, that the City Council instruct LAAS and its contractor, The Glue, LLC,
to provide a report to the Personnel, Audits, and Animal Welfare Committee on the status of The
Glue's performance of deliverables to provide LAAS marketing, fundraising, public education,
website development, and social media services.

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 RBP’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.
