Dance License for Casa Latina Restaurant. Present were Arlene Cox, Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Business License Bureau, Brad Johnson, Planning Director, Lorenzo & Norma Aviles, business owners,
David Zavala, translator for owners, and Tinia Celaya, neighbor of business location.
Ms. Cox stated that the background investigation by the Sheriffs Department was completed and they .
were recommending approval contingent on the 27 conditions.
Brad Johnson stated the Conditional Use Permit was approved at the Planning Commission meeting of
February 6, 2006. He stated that he needed a landscaping and irrigation plan from the owner. He also
stated that temporary banners were only allowed for a certain amount time and that the owners need to
submit a plan for the signage. Mr. Johnson stated that according to the ABC license, this establishment
needed to sell more food than alcohol.
David Zavala stated that he hoped that the City would be understanding with respect to the food/alcohol
sells. He stated that the business was just getting started.
Ms. Cox stated that if the alcohol sells was more than the food sells, he would need to adjust the selling
of alcohol.
Mr. Johnson stated that if the kitchen was too small, the owners would need to improve and expand the
kitchen area.
Tinia Celaya, 2742 N. Muscatel Avenue, stated that she has been a neighbor of the establishment for
years. She stated that the lighting situation was the same. The lights were shining into her house.
Mr. Wagner stated that the lighting situation would need to be addressed before approval by the City
Council at the August 8, 2006 meeting. He suggested that the owners and Ms. Celaya get together to
discuss a remedy to the situation.
Lorenzo Aviles stated that he thought the lights were already fixed.
Mr. Wagner stated that the previous owner had a problem with the lighting situation and this needed to
be addressed.
The Hearing was closed at 10:25 a.m.
