ITEM:

707 North Pacific Avenue

PAPP-004330-2024
(Continued from March 19, 2025)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This is an appeal of the Planning Hearing Officer’s decision to approve a conditional use permit (Case No. PCUP-003300-2024) to establish a banquet hall with entertainment, subject to the standards listed in GMC Chapter 5.16, through the adaptive reuse of a former retail building, including a 1,469 square-foot mezzanine addition, an outdoor deck, and a drop-off/pick-up area. The project includes an Administrative Use Permit (AUP) for the on-site sales, service and consumption of alcoholic beverages and an AB-2097 parking exception to allow 50 in lieu of 243 required off-street parking spaces. The 1.16-Acre project site is in the “(C2)” - Community Commercial Zone, and legally described as a portion of Lot B, Parcel Map Glendale No. 1314-A, per Map Book 102, Page 79, in the City of Glendale, in the County of Los Angeles (APN: 5636-016-061).

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION

The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 1 “Existing Facilities” exemption, per Section 15301(e) of the CEQA Guidelines, because the discretionary permit request is to establish a banquet hall use, including alcoholic beverage sales and service, in an existing commercial space. The project involves a mezzanine addition that will not increase the structure’s floor area by more than 2,500 square feet.
