Modification to CUP No. 2005 -29 February 27, 2017 Page 2 Project Description El Calamar restaurant is requesting approval of a modification to its existing conditional use permit to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on- premise consumption. The current conditional use permit explicitly only allows for the sale and on- premise consumption of beer and wine; because of this, a modification needs to be approved by the Planning Commission. The restaurant will continue to operate as a sit -down bona -fide eating establishment. No alterations or expansion to the restaurant are being proposed at this time. Alcoholic beverages will be stored in a 43- square -foot storage room within the kitchen area, which is less than five percent of the gross floor area of the restaurant and it is consistent with the SAMC requirement.

M01FITIrift The subject site was originally developed as a retail store building in 1947 and was then converted into a restaurant in 1964 and has been operating as such since then. On March 15, 2005, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution approving CUP No. 2005 -29 for the operation of a Type 41 alcoholic beverage control license allowing the sale and on- premise consumption of beer and wine for Moncho's El Pescador restaurant. In 2008, El Calamar restaurant took over the restaurant establishment and has been operating under and in compliance with CUP No. 2005 -29. The restaurant specializes in Mexican seafood cuisine and contains capacity for 98 patrons. The applicant recently received authorization from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) to upgrade from a Type 41 to a Type 47 alcohol license for the sale of distilled spirits in addition to beer and wine. Because of this, on January 5, 2017, the applicant submitted a conditional use permit modification application to the Planning Division. The modification to CUP No. 2005 -29 is required because the ABC license is being upgraded; however, the restaurant will continue to comply with the same operations standards for all eating establishments that offer on- premise consumption of any alcoholic beverage. 31A-4
