Modification to Variance No. 2004 -09 <br />December 14, 2009 <br />Page 7 <br />Any amendment to this conditional use permit must be submitted to the <br />Planning Division and Police Department for review. <br />The applicant has requested the use of a basement level room, that would <br />be accessed via a stairway leading from the main bar area, as an <br />expansion of the bar. Expansion into the basement area for utilization <br />similar to the ground level bar is problematic; therefore, staff <br />recommends additional conditions of approval to mitigate any potential <br />negative impacts. The addition of conditions to ensure supervised <br />consumption of alcohol, provision of staff at all times within the <br />basement whenever the establishment is operating for security purposes <br />and the use of the basement access door only for emergency purposes will <br />mitigate any potential impacts. With the inclusion of these conditions, <br />staff recommends approval of the applicant's request to expand the <br />service area into the basement room. <br />CEQA Compliance <br />This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the <br />California Environmental Quality Act. The recommendation is exempt from <br />further review pursuant to Section 15301. This Class 1 exemption <br />applies to alterations to an existing operation or facility with <br />negligible expansion. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. <br />2008 -39 will be filed for this project. <br />Sei/gio lofu AICP <br />Princi nl P nnr <br />SK: jm " <br />sk \reports \va04 -09 Proof Bar mod.121409.pc <br />�1 <br />J <br />
