Background On July 15, 2010 the Director of Planning and Building Safety approved an Administrative Use Permit (AUP) application request for a (Type 20) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license at an existing gas station that contains a convenience store located at 601 North Sepulveda Boulevard and the Planning Commission upheld the Director's decision on July 22, 2010. On August 3, 2010, the City Council protested the issuance of a (Type 20) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license at the proposed location. The grounds for the protest were the 011 concentration of alcohol licenses on Sepulveda Boulevard and the safety concerns regarding the location of four existing driveways adjacent to the corner of Mariposa Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard. The Council was concerned about the high volume and speed of vehicle traffic going southbound to the site on Sepulveda Boulevard and on Mariposa Avenue. Another concern to the Council was the potential for a recently approved remodel and expansion of the convenience store to further increase vehicular and pedestrian traffic hazards. Additionally, the convenience store is also located in a Reporting District that is considered a high crime area by the El Segundo Police Department with a total of 39 crimes reported between January and June 2010, compared to a total average of 18 crimes reported for all districts during that period. The total number of crimes reported from July 2010 through December 2010 is 32 crimes. A high crime district would require a public convenience and necessity letter from the City for the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to approve the issuance of the license. There are currently seven (7) locations along Sepulveda Boulevard that are licensed for the sale of alcoholic beverages for off -site consumption. These include Mobile Oil Corporation, Leonards Liquor, Ralph's Grocery Store, Walgreens, Chevron, Whole Foods Market, and Cost Plus World Market. There are currently no active ABC licenses within the boundary of the census tract where 601 North Sepulveda Boulevard is located and the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control would allow three (3) licenses. Issuing this license for off -site consumption of alcohol within this specific census tract would be the first and therefore not considered an over concentration in licenses. On April 4, 2011, Veronica Becerra submitted a letter to the Planning and Building Safety Director on behalf of the property owner, requesting that the City Council reconsider protesting a (Type 20) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License for the subject location. The property owner also submitted revised plans of the site in effort to address the City Council's concerns. The plans propose removing the first driveway along Mariposa Avenue that is closest to the corner and replacing it with a new sidewalk consistent with City standards. The plans also propose widening the second driveway on Mariposa Avenue from 28 feet to 30 feet. The proposed changes will help improve the flow of traffic at the corner and make it safer for vehicles or trucks entering and exiting the site. Should the City Council determine that the modified plan addresses their concerns, the conditions of approval of the AUP will be modified to require the improvements prior to commencing the sale of beer and wine. II. Conclusion Planning staff recommends that the Council receive and file this report without objecting to a new Type 20 ABC license and approve the issuance of a public convenience and necessity letter for the convenience store at 601 North Sepulveda Boulevard, or alternatively discuss and take another action related to this item.

Sepulveda Boulevard (Union 76 gas station and convenience store) Property Owner: Shahram Sanieoff Dear Mr Carpenter: The property owner seeks a letter of support from the City Council for the approval of a (Type 20 ABC) License for the sale of beer and wine at an existing gas station that contains a convenience store at 601 North Sepulveda Boulevard. The construction documents for the interior remodel of the convenience store have been submitted to the City and the owner would like to propose additional upgrades to the site in order to obtain the support from Council. The owner proposes the removal of the first driveway adjacent to the corner of Mariposa Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard to improve safety at the corner intersection. New sidewalk will be installed to replace the first driveway in accordance to Public Works specifications. Additionally, the widening of the second driveway along Mariposa Avenue by two (2) feet is proposed to improve truck circulation at the site for the delivery of gasoline and other products.

Background In 1995, the City Council directed staff to bring all future ABC licenses to it for review. For alcohol sales at a retail establishment, California regulations require a 30 -day review and comment period after notifying local police and planning departments. The grounds of a protest, if any, should relate to public health, safety or welfare concerns. Based upon previous Council direction, staff is providing background information regarding this application. II. Analysis According to the most recent Crime and Arrest statistics report (January 2010 — June 2010, Exhibit 1) prepared by the Police Department, the convenience store is located in Reporting District (RD) 210. Based on 2010 reported data prepared by the Police Department, the district 014, had a total of 11 Part I crimes (criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny - theft, motor vehicle theft and arson), and 28 Part II crimes. The Reporting District is considered a high crime area with a total of 39 crimes reported between January and June 2010. However, the Police Department and the Planning and Building Safety Department do not object to a new ABC license for the proposed store. This license request will allow the sale of beer and wine in conjunction with the operations of a convenience store. A request for a new license is required, since no previous alcohol license existed at the proposed location. The applicant's proposed hours for alcohol sales will be Monday through Sunday from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. The gas station and convenience store currently operates 24 hours a day from Monday through Sunday. On July 15, 2010, the Director of Planning and Building Safety approved an Administrative Use Permit application (EA No. 867, AUP No. 10 -03) for 601 North Sepulveda Boulevard. The Director's decision was forwarded to the Planning Commission on July 22, 2010. On July 22, 2010, the Planning Commission chose to Receive and File the item with the conditions of approval. ABC license review requires mandatory findings that are regulated by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The City's AUP process is separate. The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) is responsible for running a complete background check on all alcohol license applicants, as well as conducting site inspections, before issuing any type of alcohol license. III. Conclusion Planning staff recommends that the Council receive and file this report without objecting to a new Type 20 ABC license at 601 North Sepulveda Boulevard.

REQUEST: A Request for an Administrative Use Permit to allow the sale of beer and wine (Type 20 State of California Alcoholic Beverage Control License) at a gas station /convenience store PROPERTY INVOLVED: 601 North Sepulveda Boulevard I. INTRODUCTION The Planning and Building Safety Department received an application for an Administrative Use Permit to allow the sale of beer and wine for off -site consumption (Type 20 Alcoholic Beverage Control license) at a gas station /convenience store at 601 North Sepulveda Boulevard. The project site is located in the General Commercial (C -3) Zone on the block bounded to the south by East Mariposa Avenue and to the north by East Palm Avenue. The proposed use (on -site sale for off -site consumption of beer and wine at a retail establishment) requires an Administrative Use Permit (AUP) in accordance with ESMC § 15 -5C- 4(A). ANALYSIS The site is 14,687.32 square feet in area and is developed with a 1,700 square -foot building containing a 414 square -foot market, an office and three pump islands. The applicant is currently remodeling the building interior to remove three existing auto .service repair bays to expand the 414 square -foot market to 1,463 square feet in area. The building will also contain an office, a restroom, and a backroom for storage that is a combined total of 237 square feet in area. The market expansion includes new refrigeration equipment and the display of alcohol for sale is proposed in 13 square feet of floor area. No expansion of the building itself is proposed. The () lf) minimum number of required parking spaces for the gas station and market including the conversion of the existing auto service repair floor area to a market is 6 spaces. There are currently 7 off - street parking spaces on the property including one accessible parking space. The gas station is a legal nonconforming use. The site was developed as a gas station in 1966 with three auto mechanic bays. The use became legal - nonconforming in 1969 when the Municipal Code was amended requiring Conditional Use Permits for auto service uses. Legal non - conforming uses are permitted to continue, and remodel or rebuild, however, they may not be enlarged, or re- established after abandonment. A portion of the building was converted to a market in 1998. Markets are a permitted use. The current (Type 20 ABC) license request is for the on -site sale of beer and wine Administrative Use Permit for retail establishments and is not consifor off -site consumption, which is a permitted accessory use with the approval of an dere expansion of the nonconformity. d an The area surrounding the market is composed of commercial retail and restaurant uses to the east, a hotel (Hacienda) to the south, a parking lot for a hotel (Hacienda) to the north and the west, and multi - family residential uses west of the parking lot. These uses are compatible with the purpose and intent of the proposed use. The market serves the neighboring commercial and residential uses in the area, providing a convenient place within walking distance. The existing market will continue to meet the needs of the surrounding commercial and residential uses. The proposed location and use, and the conditions under which the use would be operated and maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The sale of alcohol will not create any new impacts that would not be normally associated with the operation of a market at a gas station. The parking lot is currently paved with asphalt and concrete, and is not expected to generate dust or smoke. The proposed use will not increase noise, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic, or hazards. The proposed hours of alcohol sales are limited to Monday through Sunday from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. The market and gas station may operate 24 hours a day and seven days a week. The proposed hours of operation for alcohol sales and the location of the market will help to minimize impacts on surrounding uses. Any change to the hours of operation is subject to review and approval by the Director of Planning and Building Safety. Planning staff reviewed the application and the Planning and Building Safety Director made the necessary findings to grant an Administrative Use Permit. The attached letter (Exhibit A) specifies all of the required findings for the permit. 2 ()1" Ill. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing Facilities). The project includes an alcohol license for an existing market which results in a minor alteration in the operation of an existing building involving no expansion of the existing use. The project is not anticipated to have any significant impacts with regard to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. Moreover, there is no new building area proposed for this project. There are adequate utilities and public services to serve the project. IV.
