*Admitted in CA and NY **Admitted in CA only ***Admitted in Mexico only

This office represents Sam Zatar, operator ofDima Market, 10609 Wilmington Avenue, Los Angeles CA 90002. We hereby appeal from the decision of the Associate Zoning Administrator dated 1 une 3 0, 20 1 0.

First, I request an opportunity to review the administrative record in order to amplify this statement justifYing the appeal. Please let me know how I can do so.

We are particularly concerned about two provisions of the decision: items 4 and 5.

The reduction in the operating hours of the business will have the effect of putting it out of business and will be of no practical benefit to the city. The reduction also makes no sense, because the alleged incidents recited in the decision "have occurred during all hours, daytime and evenings of business operation.,.

The small physical size (550 square feet) and marginal profit ofthe business make a security guard infeasible and unnecessary.

The arrest/crime rep011s and statements by police do not support the determination. Events occurring on the block or across the street are not necessarily attributable to this business. Rather, they are a result of the nature of the neighborhood, and would occur with our without the operation of this convenience store. For example, it is impossible to understand how a "drive-by shooting" near the store arose from the conduct of the store owner, or how it would not have occurred if the store had been closed.

Moreover, Mr. Zatar is willing to comply with the requirements in the decision other than the change in hours and the secmity guard. There should be an opportunity to see if those measures resolve the issues of concern before imposing measures that will have the effect of closing the business.

Planning Dept. City of Los Angeles Re: Case No. DIR 2008-2822(RV) July 14,2010 page 2

It is my understanding fi·om page 5 of the decision that the effect of the decision is stayed pending resolution of this appeal.

I look forward to hearing from you regarding the means whereby I can review the administrative record and supplement this statement in supp01i of the appeal.

Very truly yours,

Stuati Miller

FINDINGS OF FACT

After thorough consideration of the statements and correspondence contained in the file, the report of the Zoning Analyst thereon, the statements made at the public hearing before the Zoning Administrator on August 21, 2008, all of which are by reference made a part hereof, as well as knowledge ofthe property and the surrounding district, I find that there is cause for imposition of corrective Conditions based upon the provisions of Section 12.27.1 of the Municipal Code which has been established by the following facts:

NUISANCE ABATEMENT AUTHORITY~ SECTION 12.27.1 OF THE LOS ANGELES MUNICIPAL CODE

On October 27, 1997, under Ordinance No. 171,7 40, Section 12.21-A, 15 was repealed and superseded by Section 12.27.1 which continued the established administrative procedures for nuisance abatement relating to the modification, discontinuance or removal of a land use that constitutes a public nuisance or endangers the public health, peace, health and safety of persons residing or working in the surrounding area or violates any land use related condition or other provision of City, State or Federal statutes or ordinance.

BACKGROUND

The subject property is a leve19,375 square-foot rectangular-shaped interior parcel of land comprised of three record lots and developed with a one-story commercial building (the subject Dima Market, formerly known as the Jordan Market) containing approximately 550 square feet of floor area with two small detached apartment units. The property is zoned [Q]C2-1. The [Q] condition limits the height of all buildings/structures to three stories or45 feet.

The property has 75 feet of frontage along the west side of Wilmington Avenue and an even depth 125 feet. The property abuts an east-west through alley along the southerly property line. There is no off-street parking for store customers although there is street

To the south, across the abutting alley, properties fronting onto Wilmington Avenue are classified in the [O]C2-1 Zone and developed with two-story multi-family residential buildings. Properties to the west are classified in the R1-1 Zone and are developed with one- and two-story single-family dwellings.

Wilmington Avenue, adjoining the property to the east, is a designated Major Highway Class ll dedicated to a right-of-way width of 60 feet and improved with asphalt roadway surfacing and concrete curbs, gutter and sidewalk.

The alley, adjoining the property to the south, is a through alley dedicated to a width of 15 feet and improved with asphalt surfacing.

The closest street light is located at the southwest corner of Wilmington Avenue and the alley abutting the subject property. Another street light is located at the northwest corner of Wilmington Avenue and 1 06th Street

CORRESPONDENCE AND REPORTS (Prior to Public Hearing)

In March of 2007, the City Attorney's Office, Citywide Nuisance Abatement Program ("CNAP") referred the subject market to the Office of Zoning Administration for nuisance abatement/revocation processing due to community complaints of public drinking, loitering, obstruction of the public sidewalk, and drug use and sales on, near and directly associated with the use and the site. The Los Angeles Police Department ("LAPD") has documented call and arrest reports for: public drinking; narcotics and controlled substances possession, use and sale; possession of drug paraphernalia; assaults, threats and possession of deadly weapons. LAPD personnel have stated that numerous persons loiter outside Dima Market for the purposes of selling and purchasing narcotics. Hand-to-hand narcotics transactions have been seen by undercover LAPD officers inside the store as well as outside and across the street from the store.

The illegal activities noted above are jeopardizing and/or endangering the public health and safety of persons residing or working on the premises or in the surrounding area, thereby constituting a public nuisance, and contributing to the deterioration of the adjacent community. The activities occurring in and around the premises have generated numerous neighborhood complaints and police responses thereby placing undue demand on the resources of the LAPD.

Comments from Other Departments or the General Public

July 29, 2008- Correspondence from a neighbor on 1 osth Street indicating the market is a place where "a lot of people come to drink and sell drugs and I would like if this market [were] to be closed down."

PUBLIC HEARING

In response to the allegations, the Office of Zoning Administration instituted proceedings to conduct a public hearing in order to obtain testimony from the owner/operator of the facility and interested or affected persons regarding the operation of the Dima Market. The hearing was noticed and mailed to the business operator of the facility and to the property owner of the premises and to owners and occupants of nearby properties within 500 feet of the subject site, in compliance with Municipal Code requirements.

A public hearing was held by the Zoning Administrator on August 21, 2008 commencing at approximately 10:00 a.m. in Los Angeles City Hall, located at 200 North Spring Street. In attendance and testifying were representatives of the Los Angeles Police Department, a representative of the operator, the operator, a representative from the Office of Council District 15 and neighbors.

The purpose of the hearing was to obtain testimony from the owner and operator of the subject facility and from any other affected or interested parties regarding the operation of the liquor store to determine whether the use constitutes a public nuisance or has resulted in repeated nuisance activities and to determine whether conditions should be imposed on the operation of the premises. The Director of Planning has the authority under Section 12.27.1 of the Municipal Code to impose conditions on the operation of an existing business to mitigate any land use impacts caused by the operations of such use.


Summary of Testimony

The following is a summary of the points made in verbal testimony:

Senior Lead Officer Roberto Yanez, LAPD Southeast Division

There have been problems at this location since he was first assigned to Southeast in 1996. Problems include drinking in public in front, loitering, blocking the sidewalk; trespassing and persons sleeping in a garage on the property. One cannot see through a wrought iron fence; there are trash piles at the rear of the property. Narcotics transactions take place inside and at the front of the market. He had met with the business operator several times about the problem activities. Drinking in public and loitering problems have continued. The store sells alcoholic beverages and snacks. There are no surveillance cameras outside the store. Wants alcoholic beverage sales to cease. Should be an armed security guard and 24-hour outside surveillance camera operation. Gang members from outside the immediate area, such as Compton and Inglewood, congregate at this location and have been cited. Several residents have moved away because ofthe nuisance activities occurring at the Dima Market Drug transactions occur at the doorway to the market.

Detective Lavita Jones, LAPD Detective Support and Vice Division, Community Problems Unit

Has observed loitering and drinking at this location. People sit in front of the market on cardboard boxes, and drink. There is trash on the side of the property. Council Office indicated there had been citizen complaints about narcotics sales at this location. Narcotics sales occur inside and outside the store. People hang out starting in the early morning until about 4 p.m. Has seen open bags of ice inside the store.

Officer Otis Swift, LAPD Southeast Division

Has witnessed loitering, hanging out at this location since he began with Southeast Division about 10 years prior. J-walking back and forth to the store occurs on Wilmington Avenue. Drinking in public starts as early as 9:30 or 10:00 a.m. Nuisance problems occur from the time the market opens until it closes. This location always needs law enforcement attention and is a drain on LAPD resources. ABC license should be revoked; imposing conditions will not help.


Visitors to nearby Watts Towers are frightened by activities taking place in front of the market.

Christopher Carmouche, Property Owner, Wilmington Avenue

Has noticed drug dealing occurring at the market across the street from his duplex. Has had to gate the fence in front of his property. Finds discarded bottles, cans, paper, candy wrappers and debris on his property. One of his units has been vacant for some time and he cannot find a tenant due to the adverse conditions on the street. Two new duplex units nearby at 10617 and 10617-1/2 Wilmington Avenue are also unoccupied. There is a higher ratio of liquor sales to other merchandise items at the market. Activity at the market is constant. People who congregate around the market tend to loiter and drink on his side of the street (opposite the market) as well.

Louis Juarez, Area Resident

Has been in the neighborhood over 70 years. Liquor at this location is sold to a criminal element. A liquor store at 1 ogth Street and Wilmington Avenue was cleaned up over three years ago. Problems have occurred at this site for the last 10 to 15 years, including shootings. Nuisance problems are particularly active during the summer.

Jose Luis Roman, Market Employee

Employed 8 to 9 years at the market. He is aware of the issues. He asks problem individuals to leave but they return. There are signs in English and Spanish indicating no drinking on the premises and no smoking. Does not have STAR training.

Rosa Oropeza, Wilmington Avenue Resident

A 14-year resident about 1 /2 a block away from the market; a regular customer. No problems occur when she shops there. Sometimes sees people hanging out; she ignores them. She buys convenience items and is concerned about the business being closed down.

Jesley Gomez, Wilmington Avenue Resident

A market customer almost daily. It is hard sometimes to walk by the people in front. People are friendly; some are drinking liquor. Her mother sends her to the store to buy items like milk and juice.


Does not want to see the store closed.

Frank Hong, Council District 15

He and Council Office staff are very aware of nuisance activities occurring at the site. He agrees with points made by the LAPD and supports revocation of the alcoholic beverage license.

Nicholas Nassiff, Attorney for Dima Market Operator

Submits 37 letters in support of the business. His client knows there are problems occurring. The owner works at the store 12 hours per day. He would be forced to close the business if the beer and wine license were revoked.

Sam Zatar, Manager of Dima Market

Five or six guys are causing the problems. Appreciates the help of the LAPD. Problems occur up and down the street, not just at his market. The market is his only source of income. Has installed more lighting in front. Willing to work with the Police and provide security cameras and a security guard, if needed. There are three employees, including himself, who work at the market. The market is open 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., daily. Estimates 50 percent of sales are for alcoholic beverages. The store is always clean. There is a trash dumpster in the gated area. Beer is sold in individual cans/bottles, 6-packs and 12-packs. There is no age verification machine; employees check ID routinely. There are four security cameras inside that run 24 hours; the system does operate. Security video is stored for one week; he has never been asked by law enforcement to review the video tapes. About 90 percent of the customers walk to the store. Drug/narcotics sales are not tolerated, especially inside the store. He has never been personally threatened.

Nicholas Nassiff

Client used to work 3 to 4 hours; now works 10 to 14 hours at the market Client told loiterers to leave when he got notice of the revocation hearing. Client is committed to keeping the business open. Client's sister is the owner. Revocation would be too drastic a measure.


Senior Lead Officer Yanez - Rebuttal

Markets at 112th and Wilmington and 11 Oth and Wilmington do not sell alcoholic beverages and have remained open. The pay phone should be removed. Problems with the market have not decreased; there continues to be narcotics activity and drinking in public. Loitering would decrease if liquor sales were to discontinue.

At the end of the public hearing, the record on the matter was maintained open to allow additional time for the property owner and the business operator to coordinate with the Police Department, for the Police to submit any additional Police reports and for the operator and any interested party to submit additional information.

WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVED AT THE PUBLIC HEARING

The Zoning Administrator received from Mr. Nassiff, the business operator's attorney, 42 signed letters/statements in support of the market remaining open and a petition containing 48 signatures, also in support of the market remaining open.

WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVED SUBSEQUENT TO PUBLIC HEARING

Dima Zatar - Letter dated August 25, 2008

My name is Dima Zatar, I'm the owner of Dim a Market... This community convenience store has been opened and managed by my family for over 10 years. I took the title in June 2007 from Reem T a mimi. Dim a Market was formerly Jordan Market. My brother and my family have fun the convenience store with the best intentions for the community. Over the past decade, we have made Wilmington our home and feel a great bond to the neighborhood. We have provided food, over the counter medication and necessities, such as diapers to the local families. I have watched neighborhood children grow up over the years. Due to the bond and respect to the community, we have always tried our best to run the store as safe and ethical as possible. This is not to mention that my own family works at the store. We also have 2 employees from the Wilmington community working with us.

By revoking the license, the problem will not be solved. The problem is not the provided but the consumer that continues to loiter and behave in a disrespectful manner to the community. If the Dima Market beer & wine license is revoked, it will only cause consumers to go to the next beer & wine store and purchase it. Per Officer (Yanez), two other markets were shut and it did not solve the problem. The problem will continue the existing pattern that has been causing the current disturbances. We have been keeping and continue to keep a healthy communication with the community about how to prevent these disturbances. We would not like to move and the people in the community need us.

Below are some of the changes that will take effect immediately if our license remains:

CASE NO. DIR 2008-2822(RV)

Security Guard More Cameras (inside/outside the store) Staff training for Sales of liquors (beer & wine) More trash cans More communication with our customers Digita/10 card reader More signs

PAGE 22

We look fotward to se!Ving the community and making it a safer and healthier environment for all of us. It is our job at Dima Market to make sure each and everyone is happy with our se!Vice we provide. We promise to deliver the best service and to help the community be a better place to live.

On September 10, 2008, the Zoning Administrator received a list of suggested operating conditions for the Dim a Market from Officer Jones of the LAPD Detective and Support and Vice Division. The conditions address the following areas of concern and are not limited to those listed below:

Strict adherence to Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control laws and conditions. Keeping the premises and adjacent area under owner/operator control clear of litter and other objects that encourage loitering. Not allowing any patron to remain on the premises for more than 10 minutes to discourage loitering. Graffiti removal within 24 hours. Removal of any pay phones on the property. Posting of signs, in English and Spanish, requiring compliance with LAMC Sections 41.27(d) and 41.27(e). No cups, glasses, etc. sold, furnished or given away in quantities of less than 24. No sales of single cigarettes. No sales of narcotics paraphernalia or related items. No window/wall advertising of alcoholic beverages. Minimum signage covering the windows to allow direct view into the premises. Owner/operator participation in any local business neighborhood watch and meetings with Southeast Vice Unit representatives and Senior Lead Officers on an as needed basis to receive appropriate training and information. Use of an age verification machine for patrons attempting to purchase alcoholic beverages. One State-licensed uniformed security guard present during all operating hours. STAR training. Lighting above the entrance and to the west side of the premises to make visible the identity and actions of all persons entering and exiting the premises. Video surveillance cameras with inside/outside views of all common areas. Hours of operation limited from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., daily. Training of all employees to comply with these conditions.


DISCUSSION OF TESTIMONY

The record, including correspondence and testimony at the public hearing, indicates that the premises as well as the location have been the source of a number of impacts associated with a variety of activities primarily dealing with loitering, public drinking, and possession/sales of controlled substances. These have led to impacts which have occurred during all hours, daytime and evenings of business operation, and which have had a direct impact on the quality of life of adjacent residential neighbors and the community at large as well as which have put an undue demand on limited Police resources.

The record identifies 65 incidents with arrest/reports since March 2004 through September, 2009 associated predominantly with drinking in public and loitering in front of the market. However, there have also been numerous incidents narcotics possession/sales and violent crimes committed, such as assault with a deadly weapon, battery and murder by drive-by shooting (presumably gang-related). Most but not all of the incidents occurred during the afternoon or evening hours.

The business operator and owner indicate they are willing to implement certain recommendations of the Police Department, including the hiring of a security guard, installing more video surveillance cameras, staff training for alcohol sales, acquisition of an electronic age verification device, improved signage and better communication with patrons -if they are permitted to retain their current ABC license.

A proactive uniformed security guard by mere presence along with the implementation of various other security related matters may help deter the identified impacts. In addition to the presence of an armed security guard, more diligent oversight by the operator with regards to selling to intoxicated patrons or persons who tend to loiter can be undertaken so as to reduce some of the existing problems.

The purpose and typical first step in any nuisance abatement proceeding is to establish corrective conditions to address and curtail those issues which fostered the original nuisance activities. Most of these are directly related to the nature of the nuisance and to that extent those have been incorporated in this action. A six-month review period is established by this action to allow for a future assessment of the convenience store operation and of compliance with the imposed conditions. At such time, the nature of the operation and the implementation and effectiveness of the conditions can be evaluated in a public hearing based on a record that can be documented. To this end, the community and the convenience store operator and the property owners will have an opportunity to be vigilant and document compliance as well as non-compliance with any of the imposed conditions and whether the premises are operated in a manner which does not create a nuisance to the surrounding community.

FINDINGS

As presented in the information documented herein through correspondence and public testimony by affected parties, it is determined that the operation of the store known as Dima Market (formerly known as the Jordan Market) has created nuisance impacts at the

CASE NO. Dl R 2008-28L2(RV) PAGE 24

site. The Zoning Administrator, on behalf of the Director, finds that the business as operated:

1. Jeopardizes or adversely affects the public health, peace or safety of persons residing or working on the premises or in the surrounding area.

There are Police reports in the file, as well as public testimony and correspondence which indicate that activities at the subject location have resulted in impacts to the community at large. These impacts have been associated with the operation of the premises as a market and a lack of diligent oversight regarding- the sale of alcohol to certain individuals who are already intoxicated as well as an absence of effective monitoring of the sidewalk area directly abutting the market where public drinking has occurred. Such impacts include but are not limited to loitering, blocking the sidewalk, drug sales and possession of controlled substances, assaults with a deadly weapon and other criminal activities. The conduct of these activities deprives residents and other community members of their rightful ability to enjoy their neighborhood.

2. Constitutes a public nuisance.

Testimony at the hearing and in correspondence attests to the nuisance impacts generated by the numerous activities being conducted on and around the premises. There has yet to be an assertive and effective response by the operator as a result of the initiation of this nuisance abatement review to curtail activities which have become an ongoing public nuisance for several years. This situation has utilized limited City resources to target the mitigation of the nuisance activities.

3. Has resulted in repeated nuisance activities, including but not limited to public drinking, drug possession and loitering.

The record based on public testimony, correspondence and reports from the Police Department show that all of these activities have occurred on an ongoing basis in and around the subject market premises, which ultimately led to the initiation of nuisance abatement proceedings.

In order to preclude the occurrence of any problems, as described herein, in the future, and to protect the surrounding neighborhood, the Zoning Administrator has imposed conditions upon the site and its use which are intended to protect the interest of the surrounding neighborhood and to prevent further detrimental impacts thereon.

4. Adversely impacts nearby uses.

As documented and supported further by testimony, the operation of the store has adversely impacted abutting residential uses, including rental properties left vacant due to the underlying nuisance activities.

5. Violates provisions of Chapter 1 of the Municipal Code, or any other city, state, or federal regulation, ordinance or statute.


The list of such violations is set forth in the arrest reports and crime reports information referenced in this action and also attached in more specificity to the case file.

RELATIONSHIP OF CONDITIONS TO FINDINGS

Condition Nos. 1-3: These conditions represent administrative conditions that are imposed upon all discretionary approvals. These conditions are designed to insure that any use of land or a business operation is conducted in a manner which respects the character ofthe surrounding community including to insure that all other regulations of the Municipal Code shall be observed. Graffiti clean-up is required within 24 hours of occurrence, which is also a standard condition imposed for any discretionary case.

Condition No. 4 - This condition requires the business operation not exceed 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., daily. These hours have been recommended by the Police Department to help curtail heightened nuisance activities that have and potentially can take place under the cover of darkness at night. This will be a reduction in current operating hours. (According to the operator's public hearing testimony, current operating hours are from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., daily.) The reduction in operating hours is necessary to protect the public health and safety from continuing adverse nuisance and criminal activities occurring at night and help alleviate demand upon limited Police resources.

Condition No. 5- This condition, as recommended by the Police Department requires the presence of at least one State licensed, uniformed and armed security guard during all hours of operation for the market. The guard's presence requires monitoring the area outside the premises as well as the inside where nuisance activities have occurred. The limitation on the number of patrons allowed into the store and the length of time permitted to remain inside is intended to further curb loitering, public drinking and narcotics sales that have been observed to take place on the site. The Police have also advised that this limit on time allowed in the store, which has been imposed at other locations, is desirable to discourage loitering inside the premises. Further, the requirement that the security guard be armed is intended to deter the type and extent of criminal activity which has taken place at or in the immediate vicinity of the site, including gang-related activity, drug possession/use/sales, assaults with a deadly weapon, battery, attempted robbery, drive-by shooting and murder.

Condition No. 6- This condition seeks to insure that the operator and the property owners concentrate on the upkeep of the property and particularly conduct daily clean up of the trash and debris both on the property and on the adjoining sidewalk. A lack of any maintenance only reaffirms to those who want to drink outside the premises and loiter in the area, that there is no oversight of the property and that it is even acceptable to further degrade it.

Condition No.7- This condition is intended to reduce the likelihood of any on-site drinking, drinking in public areas and loitering.

Condition No. 8- This condition requires an electronic age verification device to insure that proper age verification is conducted in the sale of alcoholic beverages and that no

CASE NO. DlR 2008-28L2(RV) PAGE 26

sales to minors occur. This condition is imposed on non-nuisance markets as well as on restaurants which only have on-site sales in recognition of the need to provide accurate age verification.

Condition No. 9- This condition requires that all employees or others who sell alcohol be trained by the Police Department in alcohol sales under the STAR program. This condition requires that such training be current for any new employees as adequate training is intended to provide for increased accountability and responsibility in alcohol sales practice.

Condition No. 10-This condition requires that outdoor lighting be enhanced and additional surveillance cameras be installed after review and input from the Pol ice Department. At the public hearing, Police testimony addressed the need for better camera surveillance and lighting. This condition also requires that tapes be maintained for one week in the event that the Police Department or another agency needs to review them for any criminal investigation. The operator has a camera surveillance system inside the store and lighting which he is seeking to improve in order to meet the objectives of the Police Department in terms of location and effectiveness. This condition also requires that there be no public phones permitted on the property as these tend to provide a cover for loiterers or others who have no business at the site but who use the phone as a cover-up for nuisance-related activities. In addition, the property is not only unsightly with its corrugated metal addition to the wrought iron fence, it also blocks Police observation and surveillance into the property. It cannot be justified for the purpose of concealing open trash and debris inside the property; the condition requires that all trash and debris be removed and prevented from further accumulation.

Condition No. 11 -This condition requires the trash/recycling container(s) be stored within a solid block wall enclosure and located so as not to produce noise or odor impacts upon any adjacent use. Typically these enclosures are less visually obtrusive when they are painted to match the color of the main building on the site. The enclosure may require a building permit from the Department of Building and Safety, and thus must be constructed in accordance with plans approved by that Department.

Condition No. 12- This condition requires that the store's front window allow for improved visibility of the indoors for safety and monitoring by Police and that advertising or promotion of alcoholic beverages not be permitted on windows and outside walls, which otherwise conveys a message of primarily a liquor store operation, usually to the detriment of public safety and the surrounding area.

Condition No. 13- This condition is intended to insure that the operator continues to be an active participant in the community through participation in community organizations and interaction with the Police Department, which can provide preventive advice to promote a more responsible operation.

Condition No. 14 - This condition requires the conspicuous posting of professionally prepared signs identifying a Los Angeles Municipal Code provision which prohibits the opening of alcoholic beverages on the subject premises. It is intended as an admonition to patrons. Additionally, due to the presence of persons engaged in narcotics possession and sales or persons carrying weapons, warning signs are necessary convey that such activity will not be tolerated and that the site is under close observation by the Police.

CASE NO. DIR 2008-2b.c.2(RV) PAGE 27

Condition No. 15-This condition seeks to curtail the selling, furnishing of giving away of any single cups or receptacles that may facilitate the public drinking that has occurred on the sidewalk and the immediate area. The condition requires such items not be sold in less quantity than 24 items per package. A similar requirement will apply to the selling, furnishing or giving away of ice, which must not be conveyed in less than 5-pound quantities. In the past, broken bags of ice have been observed inside the store.

Condition No. 16 - This condition prohibits the sale of single cigarettes or any narcotics paraphernalia or related items. On July 19, 2009, undercover police agents arrested a store clerk who sold them three individual cigarettes. The prohibition on the sale of narcotics paraphernalia or related items is necessary so as not to attract persons engaged in possession, use or sale of illicit drugs or controlled substances.

Condition No. 17- This condition admonishes the operator to comply with all requirements of the Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control regarding retail operating conditions as these relate to alcohol sales.

Condition No. 18 - This condition requires that the operator make all employees familiar . with all conditions of this action. Familiarity with such conditions is intended to promote compliance with the conditions as further implemented by knowledgeable employees.

Condition No. 19-This condition requires the retention and posting of the conditions of this action and any other permits to insure that the operator is adhering to these and to facilitate the sharing of the conditions with any enforcement agencies that may need to evaluate current compliance while visiting the premises.

Condition No. 20- This condition requires that the owner/operator file a Pian Approval with the Office of Zoning Administration within 5 to 6 months of the effective date of this determination. It is the intent of this condition to permit the Zoning Administrator to maintain close monitoring of the operation of the premises. To do so it is necessary to determine whether the owner/operator is complying with the conditions imposed herein and to determine whether more or less stringent controls are required or whether the conditions imposed herein have resulted in the desired effect of reducing or eliminating the nuisance activities associated with the current use or whether revocation of the use is warranted. A compliance review is also a requirement of the Municipal Code provisions regarding nuisance abatement procedures pursuant to Section 12.27.1 of the Municipal Code.

Condition No. 21 -This condition requires that a covenant and agreement regarding all of the conditions of approval be recorded with the County Recorder by the property owner. This is a standard condition required in order to insure that any future owner of the property be made aware of the restrictions and requirements that have been made applicable to the premises. This condition serves to insure that in the event of a successor owning or operating the site, the new owner or operator is made aware of the requirements of this Office in order to assure the compatibility of the use with the surrounding businesses and properties. The City will record this covenant if the property owner does not comply with this condition as required.

CASE NO. DIR 2008-28LL(RV) PAGE 28

Condition No. 22- This condition provides for the payment of the costs associated with the nuisance abatement proceedings pursuant to Section 12.27.1 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code. On October 27, 1997, Ordinance No. 171,740 became effective adding Section 19.01-P to the Los Angeles Municipal Code. This Section establishes the authority for the amount that may be charged for the processing of a modification or discontinuation of a use. The fee is intended to address the sum of labor costs preparing the review of the case and its processing as well as hearing notice preparation/mailing costs.

It is the purpose of these proceedings under Ordinance No. 180,409 to provide a just and equitable method to be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy available for the abatement of certain public nuisance activities. This action is, therefore, to advise the owner and any future owner or lessee that this determination constitutes the first governmental action (provided by the above noted ordinance) and to make the herein cited correction and changes. Failure to comply with the conditions cited herein will put you at risk of revocation and the issue of an order directing the discontinuance of the use as a market with alcohol sales located at 10609 Wilmington Avenue.

It is further determined that the instant action by the Zoning Administrator on behalf of the Director of Planning is in compliance with Section 12.27.1 of the Municipal Code and has been conducted so as not to impair the constitutional right of any person. All of the procedures followed as a part of this action conform to the Municipal Code" The owner/operator of the premises as well as the property owners have been provided notice of these proceedings and have been afforded the opportunity to testify and respond to the allegations concerning the impacts of the operation of the store known as Dima,Market and the past operation on the property. Further, the conditions imposed are not so <Onerous as to prevent the viable, legal operation of the business.

CASE NO. DIR 2008-2822(RV) POSSIBLE IMPOSITION OF

CONDITIONS TO ABATE NUISANCE 10609 Wilmington Avenue Southeast Los Angeles Planning Area Zone : [O]C2-1 D. M. : 090A215 C. D. :15 CEQA : ENV 2008-2823-CE Fish and Game : Exempt Legal Description : Lots 339-341 ,

Farris Tract.

The purpose of the hearing is to obtain testimony of the property owner and/or business operator, plus affected and/or interested persons regarding the operation of the Dima Market (previously known as Jordan's Food Market), use location address: 10609 South Wilmington Avenue, (property location addresses of: 10607, 10609 and 10611 South Wilmington Avenue). Following the hearing, the Zoning Administrator may require the discontinuance of the use or may impose corrective conditions regarding its use as a market with be~r and wine sales in order to mitigate any land use impacts caused by the use.

Property Description

The subject parcel is a level, 9,375 square-foot, rectangular-shaped, corner parcel of land comprised of three record lots and developed with a one-story commercial building (the subject liquor store) containing approximately 550 square feet of floor area with two small, attached apartment units. The liquor store's hours of operation are approximately 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. The property is zoned [O]C2-1. The "Q" condition limits the height of all buildings/structures to three stories or 45 feet.

The subject property has 75 feet offrontage along the west side of Wilmington Avenue and 125 feet along the north side of the abutting alley. There is no off-street parking for customers of the subject" liquor store although there is street parking and also private parking in the rear of the property, apparently for use by the residents of the apartment units.


At the time of field investigation, there was a large pile of trash and debris within the fenced property near the southeast corner of the property. The exterior perimeter of the property was generally dirty with trash and debris scattered around the front of the liquor store as well as in the abutting alley. The very discernable scent of urine was prevalent around the portion of the alley closest to the liquor store.

The interior of the small liquor store appeared orderly and clean although cramped. The store's primary sales item is alcoholic beverages although the store also sells a limited amount of household goods and groceries which provides convenience for local residents. Single cans of alcoholic beverages are sold. According to the store clerk, ice is not given away and is only sold in 41b. bags, however, staff observed at least two bags of ice which were open with half of the contents gone. The clerk also stated that single styrofoam cups are not given away. No open packages of styrofoam cups were seen, only sealed, full packages of cups. Individual cigarettes are not sold, however, blunt cigars packaged in boxes of six, are opened and sold individually.

There are four video cameras located inside the store. There are no video cameras located outside on the building exterior. The monitor and DVD recorder are located behind the counter in the cash register area. The clerk was not familiar with the operation of the recorder and therefore was not able to state the length of time recorded on each DVD nor how long each DVD is kept before being recorded over or discarded.

The Project

In March of 2007, the City Attorney's Office, Citywide Nuisance Abatement Program (CNAP) referred the subject liquor store to the Office of Zoning Administration for nuisance abatemenUrevocation processing due to community complaints of public drinking, loitering, obstruction ofthe public sidewalk, and drug use and sales on, near and directly associated with the use and the site. The Los Angeles Police Department has documented call and arrest reports for: public drinking; narcotics and controlled substances possession, use and sale; possession of drug paraphernalia; assaults, threats and possession of deadly weapons. LAPD personnel has stated that numerous persons loiter outside Jordan Market for the purposes of selling and purchasing narcotics. Hand-to-hand narcotics transactions have been seen by undercover LAPD officers inside the store as well as outside and across the street from the store.

The illegal activities noted above are jeopardizing and/or endangering the public health and safety of persons residing or working on the premises or in the surrounding area, thereby constituting a public nuisance, and contributing to the deterioration of the adjacent community. The activities occurring in and around the premises have generated numerous neighborhood complaints and police responses thereby placing undue demand on the resources of the LAPD.

According to the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control licensing criteria, 4 onsite and 3 off-site are allocated to Census Tract No. 2427. There are currently 0 on-site and 1 off-site licenses in this Census Tract.

Statistics from the Los Angeles Police Department reveal that in the subject Crime Reporting District No. 646, which has jurisdiction over the property, the number of crimes reported were 1,869 compared to the Citywide average 256 crimes and the high crime reporting district average of 307 crimes for the same period.


Surrounding land Uses
