Restaurant Operations
The applicant is currently operating a full service restaurant. The daily hours of
operation are 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., daily. However, the applicant is only requesting
to serve alcohol between the hours of 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., daily.
As indicated on the restaurant's menu, which has been attached as Exhibit "E," the
restaurant serves a full array of northern region Chinese cuisine. The restaurant
currently employs 4 employees on the largest shift. The floor plan (attached as Exhibit
"C ") indicates that the restaurant provides seating for eighty (80) patrons.
Staff's Site Inspection
Staff's site inspection revealed that several matters need to be addressed. For this
reason, several conditions of approval have been added to address these items that
include:
a. Remove all excessive window signage. Window signs shall cover no more than
fifteen (15) percent of any window.
b. All portable or unpermitted signs shall be removed.
c. All exterior decorations (lanterns and lighting) shall be removed.
d. The outdoor dining area shall be removed.
State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) and Public Safety Report
Staff has received a worksheet from the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC), which indicates that the subject restaurant is currently located in a
census tract that has an over - concentration of alcohol permits. ABC defines "over -
concentration" as greater than one license per 1,061 residents living within the subject
census tract. The population of the census tract (No. 4813) in which the subject
property is located is 3,153 residents. The number of allowable on -sale ABC licenses
for this census tract is two (2). Currently, there are nine (9) authorized on -sale licenses
for this census tract. Although the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has found
that there is an "over concentration" of on -sale beer and wine licenses for this census
tract, the City of Rosemead can, as a policy matter, decide that clustering these uses is
appropriate and a reasonable public policy and land -use decision.
The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has also determined that this location is
located in a high crime district. However, the City of Rosemead Public Safety
Department found no unusual situations, concerns, or incidences that have occurred
on the subject site. For these reasons, the Public Safety Supervisor and the Chief of
Police have indicated that they are in support of this request, notwithstanding the
ABC's finding.
The serving of beer and wine as an ancillary use within a full - service dine -in restaurant
will not cause obstructions to pedestrian traffic, vehicular traffic, or parking. Regular
inspections by State ABC and the Rosemead Public Safety Department will ensure that
the location is monitored and; the serving of alcoholic beverages will not result in

interference with children on their way to school, shoppers using streets, or defacement
of surrounding properties. The nearest school (Muscatel Middle School) is 844 feet
away from the subject restaurant and the nearest church (Rosemead Church of Christ)
is 180 feet from the subject restaurant.
In addition, the applicant has indicated that the restaurant staff will be trained on proper
serving of beer and wine, which includes checking identification to ensure the patron is
21 years of age and posting signs to discourage underage drinking, and driving under
the influence. The applicant has also indicated that there are sixteen (16) existing
cameras located within the development and eight (8) cameras located inside the
restaurant. All cameras operate on twenty -four (24) hour surveillance.
Staff feels that this use is consistent with the surrounding commercial properties and
existing land uses in the general area with no foreseeable negative impacts to the
adjacent neighborhood or adjoining proprieties.
Municipal Code Requirements
Section 17.112.030 (9) of the Rosemead Municipal Code (RMC) allows on -sale alcohol
licenses in the C -1, C -3, CBD, and M zones upon the granting of a Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission. RMC Section 17.112.010 sets the following
criteria that must be met:
A. The granting of such conditional use permit will be in harmony with the elements
or objectives of the General Plan; and
The proposed use is located within an established commercial district of the City
and is designated Commercial in the General Plan. Goal 2 of the Land Use
Element is to expand opportunities for concentrated commercial and industrial
uses that contribute jobs and tax revenues to the community. Granting the CUP
will advance these objectives by allowing the restaurant to enhance their services
which will potentially bring more customers to the center. It is beneficial to have
commercial uses concentrated within a commercial corridor and a full - service
restaurant with a beer and wine license has the potential to concentrate uses
around it.
B. The establishment, maintenance or conduct of the use for which the conditional
use permit is sought will not, under this particular case, be detrimental to the
health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or welfare of persons residing or
working in the neighborhood; and
The site will be operated in accordance with applicable City regulations and is in
conformity with the development in and around the project site. Regular site
inspections by the State ABC and the City of Rosemead Public Safety
Department will be conducted to ensure that the location is monitored for
compliance with applicable local, state, and federal laws and shall not be
detrimental to the surrounding communities. In addition, conditions of approval

have been added to protect the adjacent residential neighborhoods from being
affected by this commercial establishment.
C. The establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use applied for
will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental or
injurious to the general welfare of the City;
The City anticipates that the proposed use will not endanger or otherwise
constitute a menace to the City or surrounding properties. The sale of beer and
wine will be incidental to the sale of food at this restaurant, and alcohol will not be
sold for off -site consumption. Maintenance and operational conditions have been
added to minimize potential negative impacts to the surrounding neighborhood.
These conditions include, but are not limited to, prohibiting beer and wine
advertisements in the windows of the subject restaurant, requiring that the
serving of alcohol at this location be only during restaurant operating hours; and
prohibiting dancing, live entertainment, or karaoke entertainment without prior
approval of an entertainment business from the Rosemead Planning Division and
subject to Section 5.48 of the Rosemead Municipal Code. In addition, the City of
Rosemead Public Safety Department has found no unusual situation or concern
at the subject site.
Section 17.112.100 of the Rosemead Municipal Code states that in addition to the
general findings required for the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning
Commission, or on appeal to the City Council, shall find that each of the following facts
or conditions exist prior to the issuance of a new Conditional Use Permit authorizing the
sale of alcoholic beverages:
D. The proposed use will not present problems including, but not limited to, loitering,
obstruction of pedestrian traffic, increased vehicular traffic, increased parking
demand, crime, interference with children on their way to school, interference
with shoppers using streets, defacement and damage to property; and
The serving of beer and wine as an ancillary use to a full - service dine -in
restaurant will not cause obstructions to pedestrian traffic, vehicular traffic, or
parking. Regular inspections by the State ABC and the City of Rosemead Public
Safety Department will ensure that the location is monitored; and the serving of
alcoholic beverages will not result in interference with children on their way to
school, shoppers using streets, or defacement of surrounding properties. The
applicant has indicated that the restaurant staff will be trained on proper serving
of beer and wine, which includes checking identification to ensure the patron is
21 years of age and posting signs to discourage underage drinking, and driving
under the influence.

E. The proposed use will not lessen the suitability of any nearby commercially
zoned properties for commercial use; and
The proposed use will not endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to the
surrounding commercial properties as the applicant indicated that there are
sixteen (16) existing cameras located within the development and eight (8)
cameras located inside the restaurant. All cameras operate on twenty -four (24)
hour surveillance. Additionally, conditions of approval have been incorporated
upon the issuance of this permit to uphold the integrity of the site and the nearby
properties. Therefore, the proposed use will not lessen the suitability of any
nearby commercially zoned properties for commercial use. The nearby
commercial uses will not be negatively impacted by the restaurant because
several restaurants in the vicinity serve beer and wine. There are also no
sensitive uses in the commercial property in which the restaurant is located that
would be negatively affected by the serving of beer and wine at the site.
F. The use shall not adversely affect the welfare of area residents or result in undue
concentration in the neighborhood of establishments dispensing alcoholic
beverages including beer and wine. Consideration shall be given regarding
whether the proposed use will detrimentally affect nearby residentially zoned
communities, considering distance to residential buildings, churches, schools,
hospitals, public playgrounds, and other establishments dispensing alcoholic
beverages.
The proposed use will not endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to the
surrounding properties, as specific conditions of approval will be in effect upon
the issuance of this permit. Although the State Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control has found that there is an "overdue concentration" of on -sale
beer and wine licenses for this census tract, the City of Rosemead can, as a
policy matter, decide that clustering these uses is appropriate. All data obtained
from the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and other agencies is
only advisory information. The City of Rosemead Public Safety Center has also
found no unusual situations or concerns at the subject site. Furthermore,
conditions of approval outlining acceptable measures to mitigate any potential
problems with the addition of alcohol sales at this property will minimize the
impact of undue concentration.
PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS
This item has been noticed through the regular agenda notification process, which
includes a 300' radius public hearing notice to forty -nine (49) property owners,
publication in the Rosemead Reader, and postings of the notice at the six (6) public
locations and on the subject site.
