Issue Over the Counter / On-Site Alcohol Sales / Conditional Use Permit

CF 17-0981 UPDATE 06/21/2022

Source: LA City Planning Department

Dear Interested Parties,

On June 21, 2022, the City Council’s Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee approved a proposed Resolution relative to activating the provisions of the Restaurant Beverage Program (RBP) Ordinance (No. 187,402) in Council District 13.

As such, on Friday, June 24, 2022, the City Council will consider the proposed Resolution. You can find the resolution, along with its attached maps and findings, in the agenda for each meeting.

On February 9, 2022, the City Council voted unanimously to adopt the RBP Ordinance, which creates two versions of the RBP, a general and an Alcohol Sensitive Use Zone (ASUZ) version, for sit-down restaurants to serve alcohol if they meet more than 50 eligibility criteria, performance standards, and enforcement procedures. The ASUZ version contains additional standards, including a one-year provisional period with a complaint portal review. The RBP Ordinance became effective on March 31, 2022 and can be accessed here.

To participate in either version, a qualifying restaurant must be located in a neighborhood that has been identified as eligible by the City Council. The RBP Ordinance requires the City Council to designate specific geographic areas by City Council Resolution in order to activate either the general or sensitive use provisions of this ordinance.

The City Council meeting will begin at 10 a.m. and be conducted in-person. Live, oral public comment will be taken in-person, only, and not via teleconference. City Council meetings are also broadcasted live on Cable Television Channel 35, on the internet at https://clerk.lacity.org/calendar, and on YouTube. Agendas for City Council and Committee meetings can be found online at https://clerk.lacity.org/calendar. The posted agendas will include instructions for submitting comments.

For more information regarding the RBP Ordinance, please visit our website at https://planning.lacity.org/restaurant-beverage-program and the Council File No. 17-0981. If you have any questions, please contact Roberto Luna at roberto.luna@lacity.org and reference Ordinance No. 187,402 and Case No. CPC-2018-4660-CA.

Thank you for your continued interest in the RBP.

Sincerely,

Los Angeles City Planning
