3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above -
referenced public hearing, and upon the. specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. Finding: The conduct of the establishment or the granting of the application is
consistent to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare.
Fact: It is unlikely that approving the Entertainment Permit would erode the conduct
of the establishment or impact public health, safety, morals, or welfare.
b. Finding: The premises or establishment is likely to be operated in a legal, proper,
and orderly manner.
Fact: HCM has continued to adhere to City regulation and has maintained operation
in an orderly manner. It is unlikely that approving the Entertainment Permit would
cause HCM to operate in an illegal and/or unorderly manner.
c. Finding: Granting the application would not create a public nuisance.
Fact: The proposed Entertainment Permit is unlikely to create a public nuisance. All
entertainment -related activities will be located onsite and will be conditioned to meet
City performance standards, including noise, circulation, and safety. The
Entertainment Permit is also subject to an annual renewal process. In the event that

the Entertainment Permit creates public nuisance, and the condition is not remedied,
the Entertainment Permit would potentially not be renewed.
d. Finding: The normal operation of the premises would not interfere with the peace
and quiet of any surrounding residential neighborhood.
Fact: The project site is located in the Industrial Park (IP) District and substantially
surrounded by existing industrial uses and City Hall. The closest residential uses are
the Avana Apartments, located over 800 feet away and across from Haven Avenue.
The proposed activities permitted under the Entertainment Permit are unlikely to
impact the peace and quiet of those neighborhoods given the distance and lack of
adjoining property lines. In the event that the Entertainment Permit irreversibly
impacts the peace and quiet of adjoining neighborhoods, the Entertainment Permit
would potentially not be renewed.
e. Finding: The applicant has not made any false, misleading, or fraudulent statement
of material fact in the required application.
Fact: The applicant has not made any false, misleading, or fraudulent statement
during the course of this application. In the event that City staff discovers false,
misleading, or fraudulent statements have been made by the applicant, the
Entertainment Permit could be revoked.
4. Planning Staff determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project
qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 which covers the
minor alterations of private structures involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that
existing at the time of the lead agency's original determination. The project involves a modification
of the approved uses and activities for an existing 85,000 square feet food hall. No square footage
will be added to the existing building. Staff finds that there is no substantial evidence that the
project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed
the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on their own independent
judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of exemption.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in
the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference
The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 11th DAY OF August 2021.
