The project consists of the conversion of an event space into six additional guest rooms in an existing hotel with 50 guest rooms for a
total of 56 guest rooms; the conversion of a portion of the hotel lobby into a new 1,940 square-foot restaurant with 56 seats and hours of
operation from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. daily; and the addition of mini-bars within all 56 guest rooms. The applicant requests an Adjustment

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301 / Class 1
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt because it involves an existing facility. None of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemption Under CEQA
Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies to the proposed project. (a) Location: The project is not located within a hillside area or within the
Santa Monica Mountains Zone, and the subject site does not contain an officially mapped environmental resource of hazardous or critical
concern. (b) Cumulative Impact: Per ZIMAS, the LADBS Haul Route Status Table, and Navigate LA, there are no concurrent approved
or pending projects or haul routes within the same place of the project site. The proposed Project will not result in significant cumulative
impacts from successive projects of the same type in the same place. (c) Significant Effect: The project will not have a significant effect
on the environment due to unusual circumstances. Most adjacent lots are developed with residential and commercial buildings, and the
subject site is of similar size and slope to nearby properties. The project site is located in a typical urbanized area of the Wilshire
Community Plan, and the project would be consistent with the designated zoning and would adhere to all requirements of the LAMC.
The project is not unusual for the vicinity of the site, and is similar in scope to other existing commercial uses in the area. Furthermore,
there is not a reasonable possibility that the project would have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances.
The project site is not located in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. (d) Scenic Highways: The project is not in the vicinity of a state
scenic highway and will not damage scenic resources in a state scenic highway. (e) Hazardous Waste Sites: The project site is not on a
list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 related to hazardous waste sites. (f) Historical Resources: Per ZIMAS,
SurveyLA, and/or Historic Places LA, the project site is not identified or eligible as a historical resource. The project will not cause a
substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
