Opposition to Additional Liquor Sales and Increased Capacity at 1025 S. Fairfax: Zoning Variance Application ZA-2017-2240-CUB
The restaurant located at 1025 S. Fairfax is seeking a zoning exception to allow it to sell beer, wine and a full line of alcoholic beverages, add a bar and increase its capacity without providing adequate parking. We are opposed to this request because:
1) There is already an over-concentration of alcohol in the area. Within a single block, there are already 7 establishments selling alcohol and at least 3 more a block away.
2) The restaurant says it will provide only 5 parking spaces for 75 patrons, but actual number is smaller because of space taken up by a dumpster and the proposed parking being stacked (i.e., cars in interior spaces cannot be moved without moving cars on the outside). This is simply not enough parking for the proposed capacity. At present, parking is difficult, if not impossible at night for residents of the Carthay Square and Wilshire Vista communities. Any increase in capacity of a restaurant on neighboring Fairfax would only make this problem worse.
3) The proposed expansion will increase traffic and traffic accidents on the already overcrowded Fairfax Blvd. between Pico and Olympic and at the dangerous intersection of Fairfax, Olympic and San Vicente.

I live on So. Ogden Dr. , and our parking is horrendous. The hospital workers across the street has workers parking on our street so they don't have to pay in their provided structure. Plus the Spine hospital on San Vicente & Ogden Dr, and the home for the elderly on Orange. They have little to no parking for their visitors, and I believe they have proffered parking. We do not on Ogden Dr., so we get everyone on our street. If we leave, we have to make sure we get back during shift changed in order to find parking.
Expansion with liquor and no additional parking is not necessary, conducive to overall area development or compatible with neighborhood.
Parking issues and noise issues resulting from the requested liquor license variance.
Please listen to us without parking this isn't feasible. Thank you
We already have parking problems one street east of Fairfax, even with permit parking.
No more
Parking for residents in this area is a nightmare already. My own street is becoming 24 hour permitted, so there are even fewer public spaces. The formerly lively, hospitable area is now overbuilt and will die a slow death as residents flee.

The area is already full of establishments serving alcohol and this adds to problems including crime, in the area. This establishment, if it increases the number of patrons it serves it will exacerbate an already bad parking problem for those who live on streets nearby. This parking overflow from restaurants already cause hardship for homeowners in the area not to mention the problems associated with alcohol , including crime, in the proximity of many many families with who live in very close proximity to the restaurant.
