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




 Tuesday - March 8, 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.

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.

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.

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.

 action complies with the City’s Financial Policies inasmuch as the CAO
 was directed to report on a funding strategy for the unfunded projects.

 MOTION

 The Self-Help and Recovery Exchange (SHARE!) is a local, successful example of the
concept of shared housing which assists our efforts to reduce the City's homelessness
population. Their housing model is a fast and cost-effective solution to those who need
immediate housing: SHARE! matches individuals with their own source of income, such as
Supplemental Security Income (SSI), to housing vacancies and provides Peer Bridgers to help
residents transition into their new homes, link them to needed services, teach problem solving
techniques, and perform conflict mediation as needed.

 SHARE! has successfully piloted its housing model in Council District 11, and housed
dozens of formerly homeless clients. Given their past success, Council District 11 would like to
continue working with SHARE! to rapidly house more clients.

 I THEREFORE MOVE to approve $500,000 from the Council District 11 portion of the
"Neighborhood Services Enhancements" line item in the General City Purposes (GCP) Fund
No. 100-56 to SHARE! to pilot an additional 75-100 beds with shared housing in Council District
11 for a term of 8 months.

 I FURTHER MOVE to INSTRUCT the General Manager, Los Angeles Housing
Department (LAHD), or designee, to amend the City's 2021-22 General Fund contract,
C-138630, with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) to add $500,000 for the
SHARE! Shared Housing Pilot program in Council District 11 for the term of March 2022 to
November 2022.

 I FURTHER MOVE to REQUEST that LAHSA execute or amend a sole source
subcontract with SHARE! for a shared housing pilot in CO 11 through November 2022.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council AUTHORIZE the City Controller to transfer
$500,000 from GCP Fund No. 100-56, CO 11 Neighborhood Services Enhancements, to
Housing Department Fund 1OA, account 43TA39.

 I FURTHER MOVE to authorize LAHD to make any corrections, clarifications, or
revisions to the above fund transfer instructions, including any new instructions, in order to
effectuate the intent of this Motion, and including any corrections and changes to fund or
account numbers; said corrections I clarifications I changes may be made orally, electronically

 MOTION

The City Administrative Officer (CAO) intends to assign the defense of LAPD Captain Lillian
Carranza to conflict counsel panel firm Olivarez Madruga Lemieux & O'Neill (''the Olivarez
firm") in the matter of Jonathan Tom and Yoomi Tom v. City of Los Angeles; Los Angeles
Police and Revolver Athletic Club; Lillian Carranza, et al. (22STCV00224).

The Olivarez firm notified the CAO that it currently represents the City of Inglewood and
Mayor James T. Butts in a case against the City of Los Angeles arising out of an unrelated
traffic collision case (City of Los Angeles v. James Thurman Butts, Jr., et al., 20STCV20284)
where Inglewood's mayor was in a traffic collision that injured a City of Los Angeles
employee. In that case the City of Los Angeles is represented by outside subrogation
counsel.

Noting the conflict of the firm having a case against the City of Los Angeles, the Olivarez
firm alerted the CAO and requested a waiver of conflict of interest. The CAO consulted with
the City Attorney's Office to determine if the City of Inglewood case has any overlapping
facts of elements with the Tom case. Inasmuch as the Tom case is primarily an employment
case against the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) with allegations of Fair
Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) violations, while the City of Inglewood cases involves
a traffic collision, there is no likely overlap of facts or elements of law, and there is no great
risk to the City in granting a waiver.

Because of the firm's representation of the City, Rule 3-310 of the California Rules of
Professional Conduct preclude its adverse representation without a waiver from the City.
The firm has requested such a waiver and the CAO, recommends that the waiver be
approved.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the request from the firm for a waiver of conflict of interest, as
presented above, be approved and that the CAO or his designee be authorized to execute
the waiver on behalf of the City.

 2022 Invasion of Ukraine Sanctions Compliance

As the second largest city in the United States, third largest metropolitan economy in the world , and a city
with historic ties across the world, the City of Los Angeles has a unique responsibility to ensure compliance
with sanctions imposed by the United States government to reduce and negate the war capacity of
belligerent international actors engaged in illegal, unprovoked, and unjustifiable attacks on sovereign
nations and peoples.

The President of Russia Vladimir Putin, abetted by a cadre of oligarchs, corporations, and organizations,
recently initiated such an illegitimate use of force on the people and government of Ukraine and has
already wrought humanitarian strife across Ukraine. In response the people of Los Angeles stand ready to
support the brave defense of Ukraine through humanitarian support, meanwhile, the United States
government has imposed thorough and increasing sanctions to mitigate and eliminate the war capacity
of Russia.

International laws and norms are the foundation of a secure, stable, and prosperous international system
and economy. Any illegitlmate violat ion poses a risk to the people and economy of Los Angeles which
requires immediate and, when possible, proactive actions to mitigate. The City of Los Angeles has a
responsibility to ensure its contribution to these international laws and norms by certifying compliance
with justified sanctions and taking proactive steps to prepare the local people, economy, and energy
supply against further shocks stemming from the international system .

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Administrative Office (CAO), with the assistance of the Controller, City
Attorney, and necessary City Departments, review and certify compliance with the list of current, and any
forthcoming, sanctions imposed by the United States government against individuals, organizations, and
entities associated With the 2022 lnvasio.n of Ukraine,

I FURTHER MOVE that the CAO and CLA provide recommendations for achieving compliance with United
States sanctions related to the 2022 Invasion of Ukraine if the City if not already in compliance,

I FURTHER MOVE that the Mayor's Office of International Affairs as well as organizations such as the Sister
Cities of Los Angeles, Global LA, and the Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation, provide
recommendations for improving the ability of the City to respond to international crises and
circumstances which have an impact on the people and economy of Los Angeles.

 MOTION

  The California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) is a committee of state agencies that
  coordinates policies, resources and services to prevent and end homelessness in California. Preceding Cal
  ICH, the Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council, was created in 2017 to oversee the
  implementation of the State's Housing First policies. In March 2021, Cal lCH adopted, Action Plan for
  Preventing and Ending Homelessness in Cal~(ornia, establishing an action-oriented framework, focused
  on strategies that will have the greatest impact in ending homelessness in California.

  The State of California has invested over $12 billion in homelessness and housing services, with more
  funding being made available to cities, counties and Continuums of Care (CoC), to help meet the urgent
  housing, health and mental health needs of people experiencing homelessness. The Homeless Data
  Integration System (HDIS) creates a comprehensive statewide repository for homelessness data,
  streamlining infomiation from 44 separate CoC systems into one single point of access.

  The HDIS will inform policy makers and service providers on what services are being offered where, who
  is accessing services, and measuring the effectiveness of these services. The HDIS will establish
  statewide unified performance metrics and have the capacity to track individual-level data, strengthening
  accountability in the homeless response system.

  I THEREFORE MOVE to instruct the City Homelessness Coord1nator, with the assistance of the Chief
  Legislative Analyst, Los Angeles Hougjng Department, Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority
  (LAHSA), and Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, to identify data sets to track and measure

 MOTION

The State of California released the Notice of Funding Availability for Housing, Assistance and
Prevention (HHAP) Round 3, in which the City of Los Angeles is potentially eligible for $143 million.
HHAP Round 3 is designed to build on regional coordination and a unified regional response to reduce
and end homelesses informed by a best-practice framework focused on moving homeless individuals and
families into pennanent housing. The HHAP Round 3 funding wilt help accelerate the City's effort in
building the pathways into permanent housing.

Within the Third Council District: two cabin communities, a bridge home, and two safe parking Jots are
offering interim housing options; five permanent supportive housing projects are under construction; and
two sites providing 246-units of permanent supportive and affordable housing are under consideration for
State Homekey funding.

Additional Council District Three discretionary funds have been invested to develop a network of
homeless engagement teams to offer shared-housing options, private storage, sustenance, and a personal
connection to mental health and substance use recovery services. The non-profit organizations,
volunteers, and LAHSA work in close coordination with the Council Office to implement a homeless
engagement strategy that meets the needs of the Third District. These "outside the system., programs seek
to meet the indjvidual's needs and reduce the barriers to the transition indoors. These pilots, if proven
successful, have the potential for regional benefit wi1hin the San Fernando Valley, and funding for these
programs should continue.

As the City engages with the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) to develop the
Homeless Action Plan, the homeless services program being implemented within the Third Council
District should be included as part of the regional coordinated efforts undetway in the San Fernando
Valley.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA)
include in the HHAP 3 Homeless Action Plan options to fund the continuation of the fullowing programs:
Multi-Disciplinary Teams, LA River Health and Safety Response Teams, Voluntary Storage Program,
Cabin Communities Health and Mental Health Services, ADU Accelerator, Homeless Connect Days,
Tarzana Treatment Center Housing <md Recovery Program, Voluntary RV Storage Program, rental
subsidies, and data management tools.

 PLANNlNG &LAND USE MANAGEMENT
 MOTION

The housing affordability gap is one of the greatest crises facing our city. For many years, the
increase in the cost of housing in Los Angeles has far outstripped the increase in average income,
devastating the middle class, destroying the ability of most people to save, forcing people to make
unacceptable choices between paying rent and meeting other essential needs, and significantly
contributing to the spike jn homelessness.

Los Angeles has made more progress than many cities over the past decade to produce more
housing. Between 2014 and 2020, more than 117,000 homes were permitted across the city,
including 11,566 affordable units. That success, however, is not nearly enough to meet the demand
for new housing and especially affordable housing. More than 60% of Los Angeles families remain
rent~burdened.


The city should explore every reasonable opportunity to reduce the cost of the creation of
affordable housing. One of the many significant cost drivers to any housing development is the
entitlement process, including Site Plan Review (SPR), which includes an environmental review and
permit approval from the Planning Department. These processes create uncertainty in the timeline
of a project and compel expensive pre-development soft and financing costs. The Los Angeles
Municipal Code prescribes that all projects over 49 units undergo SPR, a threshold that has not been
modified in over thirty years. ln response, developers, including those of 100% affordable housing,
often artificially cap their developments at 49 units, even when local zoning allows more and a
particular site is more suitable for more. This artificial cap results in a much higher per-unit cost of
acquisition and construction. It also results in inefficient underutilization of property, contrary to
the zoning process.

In addition to the SPR, Los Angeles has some of the nation's most stringent building standards that
all projects must meet. These standards already require, among other things, Building and Safety
plan check review of structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, seismic safety, green building and
Title 24 energy efficiency standards, low impact development standards for water catchment and
treatment, and more; zoning review of height, density, setbacks, floor area, use, lot coverage, open
space, and more; Fire Department review of fire life safety, access and hydrants, accessibility and
ADA compliance review, and more; Department of Water and Power utility assessments, and more.
All of these standards must be met, with or without SPR.

In 2018, the Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Ordinance raised the threshold for SPR for PSH
projects from 50 units to as much as 200 units depending on circumstances. These changes have
seen the number of filings for new PSH projects double over the previous four-year period.

Los Angeles must significantly increase its supply of affordable housing. Rather than responding to
more state mandates, the better approach is to reduce unnecessary city bureaucratic and
administrative hurdles to achieving that goal. Eliminating the SPR for deed-restricted affordable
housing units would be an important step in that direction.
r THEREFORE MOVE that the Department of City Planning, with the assistance of the City Attorney,
prepare and present an ordinance that would amend Section 16.0S(C)(l)(b) of the City Zoning Code
to exempt deed-restricted affordable units in the site plan review threshold calculations, so long as
the total number of units is consistent with the relevant zoning.

1. Both versions of the Restaurant Beverage Program {RBP and RBP·ASUZ) will provide a public
 necessity within the areas mapped in Exhibit A by assisting new and existing sit-down restaurants.
 Areas mapped for the RBP-ASUZ contain an overabundance of off-site alcohol-selling
 establishments, and as such, would be better served by the additional provisions tn the RBP-ASUZ.

 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 both the RBP and RBP-ASUZ, 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.

 R~cmLBeveraae Program (RB.fl
 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 mapped areas
 for the RBP are commercial districts and corridors, such as Downtown San Pedro, where economic
 development is desirable. Various commercial uses, such as retail and dining. are present, ahd
 alcohol sales in these areas historically have not had a negative impact. As such, the less
 restrictive RBP is most appropriate.

 ReS,taurant Beverage Program- Alcohol Sensitive Use Zone (RBP-ASUZ)
 The RBP-ASUZ offers the same administrative clearance process as discussed above with RBP,
 including enforcement measures and security standards. However, it also contains a one-year
 provisional period, at the end of which the City will conduct a review of complaints and other
 relevant citations to determine whether the restaurant will be able to continue to serve alcoholic
 beverages under the RBP-ASUZ.

 The mapped areas for the RBP-ASUZ have historically suffered from negative impacts associated
 with the sale or alcohol by off-site establishments, namely liquor stores. The mapped areas in
 particular have a higher ratio of off-sale alcohol-selling establishments per capita than the rest of
 the City. At the same time, the mapped areas contain few sit-down restaurants and lack a mix of
 commercial uses. The RBP-ASUZ will create a public necessity by placing less emphasis on
 off-site alcohol sales and facilitating on-site alcohol sales for sit-down restaurants subject to strict
 operating provisions to limit negative impacts. Alcohol serv'ice provides a substation portion of
 restaurants' revenue and often make or break their viability as a business. Fewer barriers of entry
 within the mapped areas brought forth by the RBP-ASUZ will encourage the opening of new
 restaurants, which will enable the hiring of new employees and the creation of 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, both the RBP and RBP-ASUZ 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. Both versions of the Restaurant Beverage Program (RBP and RBP-ASUZ) wilt provide a public
 convenience within the areas mapped in Exhibit A by accommodating the demand for sit-down
 restaurants 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 and RBP-ASUZ reflect a shift in how the City will
 process alcohol requests for eligible sit-down restaurants. As such, both the RBP and RBP-ASUZ 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 and RBP-ASUZ 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 1n
 the neighborhood will be able to utilize the benefits of having on-site sit-down restaurants and alcohol
 service nearby. Furthermore, both the RBP and RBP-ASUZ incorporate more than 50 operating standards
 to ensure that the alcohol service will not be disruptive to the community.

3. Both versions of the Restaurant Beverage Program (RBP and RBP-ASUZ) contain more than 50
 provisions to ensure that it will not adversely affect the welfare of the areas mapped in Exhibit A.
 Additionally, the mapped areas for the RBP-ASUZ will receive an additional layer of protections
 t hrough a one-year provisional period that will ensure that any adverse effects are addressed and
 mitigated.

 The RBP and RBP-ASUZ'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 both
 the RBP and RBP-ASUZ to regulate alcohol service in eligible sit-down restaurants . Therefore, alcohol
 service under the RBP and RBP-ASUZ mLtst 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 both versions
 and must obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Eligible restaurants wili 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 and RBP-ASUZ 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, both versions contain 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 provisions of both the
 RBP and RBP-ASUZ will be suspended from the Program and be required to obtain a CUP to continue to
 sell aJcohol.

 Lastly, the RBP, RBP-ASUZ, or proposed Ordinance do 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, RBP-ASUZ, 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.

 Restaurant Beverage Program- Alcohol Sensitive Use Zone (RBP-ASUZl
 As mentioned in Finding No. 1, the RBP-ASUZ is modeled after the RBP and in addition, it contains
 a one-year provisional period, at the end of which a review of complaints and other relevant
 citations will be conducted to determine whether the restaurant will be able to continue to serve
 alcoholic beverages under the RBP-ASUZ. Restaurants operating under the RBP-ASUZ version
 that repeatedly violate the eligibility requirements and use standards will be suspended from the
 Program and be required to obtain a CUP to continue to sell alcohol.

 Lastly, the proposed Ordinance establishing both the RBP and RBP-ASUZ does not authorize any new
 construction , nor result in construction activities that would change the size, height, or ottier 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 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. Both versions of the Restaurant Beverage Program (RBP and RBP-ASUZ) 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
 RBP-ASUZ will also promote community engagement in an administrative process in areas with an
 overabundance of off-site alcohol-selling establishments.

 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. both the RBP and RBP-ASUZ substantially conform to the purpose, intent, and
 provisions of the General Plan, the applicable community plan, and any specific plan.

 Restaurant Beverage Program CRBP)
 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.

 Restaurant Beverage Program.. Alcohol Sensitive Use Zone (RBP·ASUZ)
 The RBP-ASUZ will apply stricter provisions than the RBP and subject restaurants to a one-year
 provisional period. At the end of the provisional period , the City will conduct a review of complaints
 and other relevant citations will be conducted to determine whether the restaurant will be able to
 continue to serve alcoholic beverages under the RBP-ASUZ. Local residents will be able to report
 violations to the RBP-ASUZ throl.1gh this new process, which will assist the City in identifying and
 removing restaurants that do not comply with the RBP-ASUZ's provisions.

 MOTION PUBLIC SAFETY
 PERSONNEL, AUDITS, & ANIMAL WELFARE:

 Over recent years, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has significantly
increased its diversity. From 2010 to 2020, the number of sworn females has decreased from
1,900 to l ,796, equating to a change from 19. l 1 percent to 18.28 percent of the total gender
demographics. Currently, the representation of female officers mirrors the law enforcement
national average of 18.5 percent. As recruitment has shown an increase in female sworn officers,
promotional and retention activities are not as clearly delineated. LAPD's leadership should be
more representative of the demographic make-up of Los Angeles given the significant resources
that have been provided to the Personnel Department to improve LAPD 's diversity. Efforts to
advance women through promotional activities must be p\.l!sued as the LAPD's recent rounds of
promotional activities have fallen short ofreflecting a commitment to gender equity. Females are
underrepresented in high ranking positions in the Department and recent promotions suggest a
lack of commitment to promoting them.

 I THEREFORE MOVE that the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) be directed to
report, with assistance from the Personnel Department, on the number of women being promoted
and related implementation efforts in its workforce overall.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) be directed to
report, with assistance from the Personnel Department, on the retention rate of femal es in its
workforce.

 I FURTHER MOVE that the Chief of Police be directed to consult with the Diversity,
Equity & Inclusion Division of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and the Los Angeles
Civil + Human Rights and Equity Department prior to making promotions.
