' :. <br />The Ramona Building, constructed in 1922, currently contains the eSports Arena and several <br />administrative offices. Following approval of CUP Nos. 2014 -11 and 2014 -12, the eSports Arena <br />opened in late 2015. The facility currently operates as a computer gaming facility and arena for <br />special events, and has two configurations: "game day" and "event day." During "event day" <br />configurations, the interior of the facility is changed to function as a spectator venue in which <br />patrons view live- action computer games and other forms of "e- gaming." <br />Following its success as North America's first dedicated e- gaming venue, eSports Arena <br />embarked on plans to expand services to its patrons. eSports Arena intends to construct a small <br />cafe with a variety of hot and cold foods and snacks. As an ancillary component to its food sales, <br />the facility is proposing to sell beer and wine through a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control <br />(ABC) license. The cafe will provide occupancy for 50 patrons while the existing eSports Arena <br />will maintain its existing maximum occupancy of 880. Similar to Round 1 in Santa Ana and other <br />indoor commercial recreation facilities such as bowling alleys, eSports Arena would allow <br />customers to purchase food and beer and wine from the cafe and consume the products within <br />the entire facility. <br />31 B -4 <br />
