CITY HEARING: November 5, 2014, West L.A. Area Planning Commission, 4:30 pm
Parking Enforcement Building located at 11214 W. Exposition Boulevard at Sepulveda Boulevard, Second Floor.

1. Project Description: A Plan Approval proceeding to evaluate the Hotel’s compliance with the existing conditions of approval, and to determine whether the conditions should be modified to be more effective in accomplishing their objectives, particularly noise, traffic, and parking issues. The Plan Approval process allows the applicant to ask for an expansion of up to 20%, and the Hotel is asking to approximately double the size of its rooftop bar/restaurant, from 2,700 square feet to 5,000 square feet. The Hotel is seeking to provide no additional parking for this increase. In support of the request for reduced parking, the Hotel has submitted a letter dated July, 2014, summarizing a parking utilization study, and has proposed to add approximately 90 bicycle parking spaces on Hotel property along the alley knows as Windward Court. The Hotel proposes to eliminate the current distinction of Fall/Winter hours of operation, and Spring/Summer hours of operation, so that the rooftop bar/restaurant
can stay open one hour later, from 7 A.M. to 12:30 A.M. Sunday through Thursday, and from 7 A.M. to 1:30 A.M. on Friday and Saturday. The Hotel proposes to eliminate the existing condition that prohibits a Happy Hour or reduced price drinks at any time.
