Director of Community Development Lisa Lane Barnes. City Clerk Marco Cuevas, Associate Planner Property Owner Project File ATTACHMENT NO. 1 FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 25-027 FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA: The City Council finds that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1 —Existing Facilities of the CEQA Guidelines, because the project involves negligible or no expansion of the existing use and structure. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 25-027: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 25-027 to permit the onsite sale, service, and consumption of alcohol (ABC Type 48 License) within an approved approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment in the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP)zoning will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood because the proposed use is located within an existing commercial center with other similar uses. The sale, service, and consumption of alcohol provides an additional service to the community and surrounding regional area which will benefit and serve customers within the community and the surrounding regional area. The eating and drinking establishment is not anticipated to generate additional noise, traffic, or other impacts above existing conditions. The BECSP and General Plan land use designation anticipated eating and drinking establishment uses with alcohol service, sale and consumption in this area. The request for alcohol is an upgrade to an existing eating and drinking establishment use and will serve to augment the overall customer experience. Furthermore, the consumption of alcoholic beverages will be contained within the building's interior only and will not generate detrimental impacts onto surrounding properties. The nearest residential use is approximately 60 ft. to the east of the subject site and is buffered by the building, drive aisle, and block wall. The use will be required to comply with conditions of approval pertaining to alcohol service and operation to assure that any potential impacts to the surrounding properties are minimized. 2. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 25-027 to permit the onsite sale, service, and consumption of alcohol (ABC Type 48 License) within an approved approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment will not adversely affect the General Plan because it is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of M-sp (Mixed Use — Specific Plan Overlay) on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals, policies, and objectives of the City's General Plan as follows: Land Use Element Goal LU-11:Commercial land uses provide goods and services to meet regional and local needs. Policy LU-11 (A): Encourage a variety of commercial uses that cater to local and regional demand to create an environment that meets resident needs and increases the capture of sales tax revenues.

The request will expand the range of goods and services provided in the area by permitting the upgrade from the on-site sales, service and consumption of beer and wine only to full alcohol within an existing approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment. The use will operate in a safe manner for residents and customers from the surrounding area because the hours of operation and business functions will remain the same and be contained within the interior of the building. Conditions have been added to the request which limit the use and manner in which alcohol may be sold and consumed to ensure the proposed will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood while providing a service that will meet the needs of the community and increase sales tax revenue. 3.

The eating and drinking establishment is not anticipated to generate additional noise, traffic, or other impacts above existing conditions. The BECSP and General Plan land use designation anticipated eating and drinking establishment uses with alcohol service, sale and consumption in this area. The request for alcohol is an upgrade to an existing eating and drinking establishment use and will serve to augment the overall customer experience. Furthermore, the consumption of alcoholic beverages will be contained within the building's interior only and will not generate detrimental impacts onto surrounding properties. The nearest residential use is approximately 60 ft. to the east of the subject site and is buffered by the building, drive aisle, and block wall. The use will be required to comply with conditions of approval pertaining to alcohol service and operation to assure that any potential impacts to the surrounding properties are minimized. 2. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 25-027 to permit the onsite sale, service, and consumption of alcohol (ABC Type 48 License) within an approved approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment will not adversely affect the General Plan because it is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of M-sp (Mixed Use — Specific Plan Overlay) on the subject property.

The use will operate in a safe manner for residents and customers from the surrounding area because the hours of operation and business functions will remain the same and be contained within the interior of the building.

The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 25-027 to permit the onsite sale, service, and consumption of alcohol (ABC Type 48 License) within an approved approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment will comply with the Town Center Boulevard Segment of the BECSP, and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) because the BECSP allows eating and drinking establishments with alcohol service subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit.

Sincerely, Jennifer Villasenor, Secretary Planning Commission By: Ricky Ramos, Planning Manager JB:RR:MC:kdc Attachment: Finding and Conditions of Approval—CUP No. 25-027 c: Honorable Mayor and City Council Chair and Planning Commission Travis Hopkins, City Manager Mike Vigliotta, City Attorney Jennifer Villasenor, Director of Community Development Eric McCoy, Fire Chief Steve Bogart, Principal Civil Engineer Jasmine Daley, Building Official Marco Cuevas Jr., Associate Planner Property Owner Project File 36 ATTACHMENT NO. 1 FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 25-027 FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA: The Planning Commission finds that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1 —Existing Facilities of the CEQA Guidelines, because the project involves negligible or no expansion of the existing use and structure. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 25-027: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 25-027 to permit the onsite sale, service, and consumption of alcohol (ABC Type 48 License) within an approved approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment in the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP)zoning will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood because the proposed use is located within an existing commercial center with other similar uses. The sale, service, and consumption of alcohol provides an additional service to the community and surrounding regional area which will benefit and serve customers within the community and the surrounding regional area. The eating and drinking establishment is not anticipated to generate additional noise,traffic, or other impacts above existing conditions. The BECSP and General Plan land use designation anticipated eating and drinking establishment uses with alcohol service, sale and consumption in this area. The request for alcohol is an upgrade to an existing eating and drinking establishment use and will serve to augment the overall customer experience. Furthermore, the consumption of alcoholic beverages will be contained within the building's interior only and will not generate detrimental impacts onto surrounding properties. The nearest residential building is approximately 60 ft. to the east of the subject site and is buffered by the building, drive aisle, and block wall. The use will be required to comply with conditions of approval pertaining to alcohol service and operation to assure that any potential impacts to the surrounding properties are minimized. 2. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 25-027 to permit the onsite sale, service, and consumption of alcohol (ABC Type 48 License) within an approved approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment will not adversely affect the General Plan because it is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of M-sp (Mixed Use — Specific Plan Overlay) on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals, policies, and objectives of the City's General Plan as follows: Land Use Element Goal LU-11:Commercial land uses provide goods and services to meet regional and local needs. Policy LU-11 (A): Encourage a variety of commercial uses that cater to local and regional demand to create an environment that meets resident needs and increases the capture of sales tax revenues. G:\PC\NOA\26\041426 CUP 25-027(Distractions) Attachment 1.1 37 Policy LU-13 (A): Encourage expansion of the range of goods and services provided to accommodate the needs of all residents and the market area. The request will expand the range of goods and services provided in the area by permitting the upgrade of on-site sales, service and consumption of beer and wine only to full alcohol within an existing approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment. The use will operate in a safe manner for residents and customers from the surrounding area because the hours of operation and business functions will remain the same and be contained within the interior of the building. Conditions have been added to the request which limit the use and manner in which alcohol may be sold and consumed to ensure the proposed will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood while providing a service that will meet the needs of the community and increase sales tax revenue. 3. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 25-027 to permit the onsite sale, service, and consumption of alcohol (ABC Type 48 License) within an approved approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment will comply with the Town Center Boulevard Segment of the BECSP, and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) because the BECSP allows eating and drinking establishments with alcohol service subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The General Plan land use designation and the BECSP anticipated restaurant uses with alcohol service, sale and consumption in this area. The alcohol service is an upgrade to an existing eating and drinking establishment and will serve to augment the overall customer experience. The proposed use will comply with all building occupancy/exiting requirements. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL -CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 25-027: 1.

LOCATION: 16612 Beach Boulevard, Suite C, 92647 (East side of Beach Boulevard and South of Heil Avenue) APPELLANT: Council Member Chad Williams APPLICANT: Peter Blied, 2641 Gregory Lane, La Habra, CA 90631 PROPERTY OWNER: MBSB Legacy LP, 24910 John Fremont Road, Hidden Hills, CA 91302-1133 BUSINESS OWNER: Alexander Lev Tambor In considering this request, the Planning Commission may either uphold the Zoning Administrator's decision (with or without modifications) or take an alternative action. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ACTION: A) Find the proposed project categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 , Class1. B) Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 25-027 with suggested findings and conditions of approval (Attachment No. 1). 42 ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): A) Do not make the suggested findings, which will result in a mandatory denial per Section 241.10 (C) of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO); or B) Continue Conditional Use Permit No. 25-027 and direct staff accordingly. PROJECT PROPOSAL: The project includes the following request: Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 25-027 — To permit the onsite sale, service, and consumption of alcohol (ABC Type 48 License) within an existing approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment (Attachment No. 2). The business currently has a Type 42 license to serve beer and wine. An upgrade to a Type 48 license requires approval of a CUP from the Zoning Administrator in the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP). The upgrade will allow the business to sell and serve distilled spirits in addition to beer and wine. Zoning Administrator Action: The Zoning Administrator (ZA) held a public hearing on February 18, 2026, to consider the proposed CUP. The applicant was present to answer questions. There were no speakers in opposition to the request. Prior to the ZA meeting, a letter was received from the Ocean View School District(Attachment No. 8) requesting that Conditional Use Permit 25-027 be denied (or further conditioned) citing the following concerns: • The proximity of the eating/drinking establishment within 600 feet of the Ocean View School District's Westmont Elementary School property located at 8251 Heil Avenue, in Westminster. • The upgrade to an ABC Type 48 license will allow for alcohol sales for consumption off premises and result in further clustering of alcohol and smoke/vape sales near Westmont Elementary School. • The current hours of operation (noon to midnight) are during school hours with the primary path of travel to and from school passing by the establishment. The School District requested conditions to modify the hours of operation from 4:30 p.m. to midnight, Monday through Friday and restrict off-site sales to food delivery service only. In considering the request, the Zoning Administrator imposed conditions of approval recommended by the Police Department to address public safety concerns (Attachment No. 5). The concern regarding off-site consumption was already addressed by recommended conditions 2.i and 2.j, which prohibit service of alcohol for off-site consumption. Regarding amending the hours of operation, the applicant explained they wanted to maintain their current hours of operation from 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM, Sunday through Thursday, and 12:00 PM to 2:00 AM, Friday and Saturday. The applicant mentioned that imposing later opening hours was not an acceptable condition. As such, the current operating hours were left in place; however, the ZA imposed a condition 43 requiring formal review of the business by the Police Department one year after approval. Based on the review, the City may require corrective actions, impose additional conditions, or initiate revocation proceedings if warranted. Appeal: On February 28, 2026, the project was appealed by City Council Member Chad Williams citing that the approval will be detrimental to the welfare of residents within the vicinity; particularly the children of Westmont Elementary School that walk past the establishment on their way to and from school, which is located within 600 feet of the drinking establishment. In considering CUP requests involving alcohol sales and/or service, input is obtained from the Police Department in addition to ensuring compliance with the General Plan and HBZSO. The Police Department reviewed the request and determined that since 2020 there has been a documented decline in total calls for service and alcohol related DUI arrests at Distractions Lounge. In 2025, there were only two low-priority report calls for service and zero DUI arrests. In addition, of total calls for service the last two years (April 2024 - April 2026), only one call (classified as an inspection) occurred during school hours (7:30 a.m.) and no calls involved juveniles. As such, the Police Department did not make adverse findings associated with the request and recommended 26 conditions of approval to further ensure public and employee safety. The Police Department conditions have been incorporated into the suggested Conditions of Approval in Attachment No. 1 and establish performance standards for monitoring increases in calls for service, DUI arrests, nuisance violations, and other enforcement activities. The conditions also include a one-year review and potential corrective action if warranted. It should also be noted that there are several other alcohol-related businesses within the vicinity, including several that are closer proximity to the school as referenced in the table below: Business License Type Distance from School (ft.) Chris Liquor Store 21 (Full Alcohol) 200' Top Hat Liquor Store 21 (Full Alcohol) 600' BevMo 21 (Full Alcohol) 1,250' Grocery Outlet 21 (Full Alcohol) 1,100' Norms 41 (Beer/Wine) 425' Taco Grill (Westminster) 41 (Beer/Wine) 800' Tsukiyo Sushi (Westminster) 41 (Beer/Wine) 250' Phuket Thai 41 (Beer/Wine) 600' Distractions Lounge 42 (Beer/Wine) 600' Shanghai'd Lounge 48 (Full Alcohol) 450' ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Subject Property And Surrounding General Plan Designations, Zoning And Land Uses: LOCATION GENERAL PLAN ZONING LAND USE 44 Subject Property: M-sp (Mixed Use — SP-14 (BECSP — Town Commercial Specific Plan Overlay) Center Boulevard Segment) North of Subject M-sp SP-14 Commercial Property: East of Subject RL (Residential Low RL (Residential Low Residential Property: Density) Density) South of Subject M-sp SP-14 Commercial Property: West of Subject M-sp SP-14 Commercial Property (across Beach Blvd.): General Plan Conformance: The project is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of M-sp (Mixed Use — Specific Plan Overlay) on the subject property and with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: Land Use Element Goal LU-11: Commercial land uses provide goods and services to meet regional and local needs. Policy LU-11 (A): Encourage a variety of commercial uses that cater to local and regional demand to create an environment that meets resident needs and increases the capture of sales tax revenues Policy LU-13 (A): Encourage expansion of the range of goods and services provided to accommodate the needs of all residents and the market area. The request will expand the range of goods and services provided in the area by permitting an upgrade from the on-site sales, service and consumption of beer and wine only to full alcohol within an existing approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment. The use will operate in a safe manner for residents and customers from the surrounding area because the hours of operation and business functions will remain the same and be contained within the interior of the building. Conditions have been added to the request which limit the use and manner in which alcohol may be sold and consumed to ensure the proposed use will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood while providing a service that will meet the needs of the community and increase sales tax revenue. Zoning Compliance: The proposed request complies with the applicable provisions in the Town Center Boulevard Segment of the BECSP, and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) because the BECSP allows eating and drinking establishments with alcohol service subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit from the ZA. The General Plan land use designation and the 45 BECSP anticipated businesses with alcohol service, sale and consumption in this area. The request is an upgrade to the ABC license type for an existing eating and drinking establishment and will serve to augment the overall customer experience. Urban Design Guidelines Conformance: Not applicable Environmental Status: The project will not have any significant effect on the environment and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines because the project involves negligible or no expansion of the existing use and structure.

A MOTION WAS MADE BY THIENES, SECONDED BY BABINEAU, TO FIND THE PROPOSED PROJECT CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO SECTION 15301, CLASS 1; AND APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 25-027 WITH SUGGESTED FINDINGS AND MODIFIED CONDITIONS OF 26pcm0414 49 PC Minutes April 14,2026 Page 3 APPROVAL TO INCLUDE RENOVATION OF THE RESTROOM FACILITIES., BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Clifford, Thienes, Babineau, Palmer NOES: Bush, McGee ABSENT: Goldberg ABSTAIN:• None MOTION APPROVED FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA: The Planning Commission finds that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15201, Class 1 —Existing Facilities of the CEQA Guidelines, because the project involves negligible or no expansion of the existing use and structure. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 25-027: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 25-027 to permit the onsite sale, service, and consumption of alcohol (ABC Type 48 License) within an approved approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment in the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP)zoning will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood because the proposed use is located within an existing commercial center with other similar uses. The sale, service, and consumption of alcohol provides an additional service to the community and surrounding regional area which will benefit and serve customers within the community and the surrounding regional area. The eating and drinking establishment is not anticipated to generate additional noise, traffic, or other impacts above existing conditions. The BECSP and General Plan land use designation anticipated eating and drinking establishment uses with alcohol service, sale and consumption in this area. The request for alcohol is an upgrade to an existing eating and drinking establishment use and will serve to augment the overall customer experience. Furthermore,the consumption of alcoholic beverages will be contained within the building's interior only and will not generate detrimental impacts onto surrounding properties. The nearest residential building is approximately 60 ft. to the east of the subject site and is buffered by the building, drive aisle, and block wall. The use will be required to comply with conditions of approval pertaining to alcohol service and operation to assure that any potential impacts to the surrounding properties are minimized. 2. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 25-027 to permit the onsite sale, service, and consumption of alcohol (ABC Type 48 License) within an approved approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment will not adversely affect the General Plan because it is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of M-sp (Mixed Use — Specific Plan Overlay) on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals, policies, and objectives of the City's General Plan as follows: Land Use Element Goal LU-11:Commercial land uses provide goods and services to meet regional and local needs. 26pcm0414 50 PC Minutes April 14,2026 Page 4 Policy LU-11 (A): Encourage a variety of commercial uses that cater to local and regional demand to create an environment that meets resident needs and increases the capture of sales tax revenues. Policy LU-13 (A): Encourage expansion of the range of goods and services provided to accommodate the needs of all residents and the market area. The request will expand the range of goods and services provided in the area by permitting the upgrade of on-site sales, service and consumption of beer and wine only to full alcohol within an existing approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment. The use will operate in a safe manner for residents and customers from the surrounding area because the hours of operation and business functions will remain the same and be contained within the interior of the building. Conditions have been added to the request which limit the use and manner in which alcohol may be sold and consumed to ensure the proposed will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood while providing a service that will meet the needs of the community and increase sales tax revenue. 3. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 25-027 to permit the onsite sale, service, and consumption of alcohol (ABC Type 48 License) within an approved approximately 1,250 sq. ft. eating and drinking establishment will comply with the Town Center Boulevard Segment of the BECSP, and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) because the BECSP allows eating and drinking establishments with alcohol service subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The General Plan land use designation and the BECSP anticipated restaurant uses with alcohol service, sale and consumption in this area. The alcohol service is an upgrade to an existing eating and drinking establishment and will serve to augment the overall customer experience. The proposed use will comply with all building occupancy/exiting requirements. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL -CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 25-027: 1.

III 7. 60 RECEIVED 1/8/2026 Letter of Request and Justification for Conditional Use Permit (1/8/26 revision) Address: 16612 Beach Boulevard, Suite C, Huntington Beach, CA 92647 Assessor Parcel Number: 107-401-32 Applicant: Alexander Lev Tambor DBA: Distractions Lounge Representative: Peter J. Blied On behalf of applicant Alexander Lev Tabor, Peter Blied is applying for a Conditional Use Permit(CUP) requesting an upgrade of the established active state liquor license. The above- mentioned premises has an active type 42 (On Sale Beer and Wine Public Premises)and will be upgraded to a type 48 (On Sale Beer, Wine, and Distilled Spirits Public Premises). The business desires to upgrade its active license to sell and serve distilled spirits in conjunction with an existing bar in a properly approved zone. Description of Property and Improvements/Modifications: The premises(APN 107-401-32)front a fully developed major street(Beach Boulevard)that includes sidewalk, curb, gutter, and a driveway providing vehicular access to the shopping center were the premises is located. The application does not propose any off-site improvements or modifications to the existing building or property. Liquor License Background: Per the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Department records,the premises has had a Type 42 License for 34 years; originally issued on December 30, 1991. Mr. Tabor has had the same type of license for 25 years; it was issued to the applicant by the ABC on October 10, 2000. Operation Narrative: As stated,there is no construction or any type of modifications to the interior or exterior of the premises. The establishment will be staffed by 4-5 employees, including a security guard(See Security Plan already in place at this premises). The hours of operation will also remain the same, 12:00 pm through 12:00 am, Sunday through Thursday,and 12:00 pm through 2:00 am on Fridays and Saturdays. The business operates as a commercial bar which is open to the public, serving drinks and food to customers. Improved management, training, and hiring practices have lead to a significant decrease in service calls as outlined in the letter provide by HBPD. As noted in the HBPD letter,there are very few calls for service and there have also been no recent wrongful allegations of this being a sex-oriented business. This is a lounge focused on serving refreshments, food and drinks, to customers in a fun, casual, relaxing and safe environment. Food options on premises are limited to prepackaged snacks and food items, but 61 the bar works with local restaurants nearby to provide meal service and also allows patrons to use food delivery services such as UberEats, GrubHub, etc. to obtain meals if desired. Analysis: The project proposal is to permit the upgrade of their existing license from a type 42 to a type 48 within an existing premises (Suite C)which is 1,250 SF in size. The Site Area is 29,814 SF. The property is within Zoning Designation SP 14,the Beach and Edinger Corridor Specific Plan (BECSP),which allows a type 48 with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Environmental Impact Analysis: The applicant has requested a Conditional Use permit for the on-sale of beer, wine, and adding distilled spirits, at an existing bar. The request is Categorically Exempt from the requirements to prepare additional environmental documentation per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing Facilities). Therefore,pursuant to Section 15300.2 (c)and 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations,there are no unusual circumstances with respect to the proposed project. This CUP request will have no significant effect on the environment and, therefore, the proposed project would be categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA.

OVSD is concerned with the proposed change in Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) from a Type 42 License to a Type 48 License for the Distraction Lounge, located at 16612 Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach. The premises are located within 600 feet of the Ocean View School District's Westmont Elementary School located at 8251 Heil Avenue, Westminster, California. The Westmont Elementary School property and playgrounds extend to the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Heil Avenue. In California, ABC may deny new retail licenses for establishments within 600 feet of a school, public playground, or nonprofit youth facilities. While proximity alone is not an automatic denial, licenses are often refused if the business is deemed to negatively impact the welfare and morals of the area. OVSD is concerned with the proposed change in ABC license type and the clustering of alcohol and smoke/vape sales near Westmont Elementary School. Distraction Lounge, described as a bikini lounge, has an active ABC Type 42 license. A Type 42 license allows the sale for on-site consumption of beer and wine. The proposed change to the ABC Type 48 license will allow sales for on-site consumption of distilled spirits. However, the ABC Type 48 license will also allow the purchase of beer and wine for consumption off premises. Both ABC licenses do not require food service. OVSD is concerned with the added sales of distilled spirits and the off-site consumption of beer and wine creating a negative impact to the morals and welfare near the school. The hours of operation for Distraction Lounge are noon to midnight. This is during school hours. Westmont Elementary School students walk to and from school along Beach Boulevard to Heil Avenue and school bus routes pass by.

These establishments downgrade the neighborhood and negatively impact the welfare of students. OVSD requests that the Zoning Administrator deny Conditional Use Permit 25-027 to change the ABC license for Distraction Lounge. However, if the Zoning Administrator does desire to allow the change, we request that a condition of approval be incorporated into the resolution of approval limiting 71 Mr. Ricky Ramos, Zoning Administrator February 13, 2026 Page 3 Distraction Lounge operating hours to 4:30 p.m. to midnight Monday to Friday. Westmont school hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. We request a condition of approval be added to the project to restrict sales of beer and wine for off-site consumption to food delivery services only, such as Uber Eats, so that customers are not taking out beer and wine into the parking lot.

OVSD is concerned that the proposed intensification of the Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) license from a Type 42 License to a Type 48 License for the Distraction Lounge Bikini Bar, located at 16612 Beach Boulevard, Suite C in Huntington Beach, will be detrimental to OVSD's property and the surrounding area by exacerbating the existing high crime rate and police service calls. The premises are located within 600 feet of the Ocean View School District's Westmont Elementary School located at 8251 Heil Avenue, Westminster, California. The Westmont Elementary School property and playgrounds extend to the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Heil Avenue. In California, ABC may deny new retail licenses for establishments within 600 feet of a school, public playground, or nonprofit youth facilities. While proximity alone isn't an automatic denial, licenses are often refused if the business is deemed to negatively impact the welfare and morals of the area. OVSD is concerned with the proposed intensification in ABC license type and the cumulative negative impact of clustering ABC Type 42 and 48 licenses near Westmont Elementary School. Distraction Lounge, described as a "bikini lounge" on its street sign, has an active ABC Type 42 license. A Type 42 license allows the sale for on-site consumption of beer and wine without the requirements of food service. The proposed change to an ABC Type 48 license will also allow sales for on-site consumption of distilled spirits, without food service.

The primary path of travel to and from school passes the Distraction Lounge establishment. Our concern is the direct and cumulative detrimental impact to the area if the city approves the request to intensify the Distraction Lounge permit from crime and the high number of police service calls. The planning commission staff presentation identified ten (10) businesses selling alcohol within a quarter mile of the Westmont Elementary school. The planning commissioners asked if this was an unusual number of alcohol sales near a school. Staff responded that they do not have that information. We have researched the ABC website and determined Westmont Elementary school is the only school that serves Huntington Beach to have three(3)ABC Type 42 and 48 licensed businesses within 1,500 feet (.25 of a mile.) Huntington Beach has 336 active ABC licenses. A majority(250) of the ABC licenses are Type 41 and 47. ABC Type 41 (126) is for a bona fide restaurant (eating place) serving beer and wine and Type 47 (124) is a bona fide restaurant serving beer, wine and distilled spirits. The other ABC licenses are for caterers (35), portable bars (10), and event permits (8). The rest are one or two permits for clubs, special on-sales, beer and wine on a boat, brewpub, instructional tasting, and beer manufacturing. Huntington Beach City Council May 31, 2026 Page 3 There are only seven (7)ABC Type 42 and nine (9) ABC Type 48 in the city. This type of ABC license is for bars, taverns, and nightclubs and does not require the service of food. The following table indicates the distance of bars to schools: ABC LICENSES TYPE 42 AND TYPE 48 IN HUNTINGTON BEACH DISTANCE FROM SCHOOLS Name of Business Address Is it within 1,500 Name of School -eet of a school?

Nowhere else in the area are schools exposed to bars around the school. The intensification of the ABC license exacerbates this. The numerous police service calls to the area indicate there is an existing problem The staff reports for Distraction Lounge's application states this is an existing "eating and drinking" establishment. This is misinformation used to twist the true character of the bikini bar. The ABC Type Huntington Beach City Council May 31, 2026 Page 4 42 and 48 do not require the service of food and even the sale of packaged food. The proposed conditions of approval, Condition 2.d., encourages the business to provide prepackaged food or snacks for consumption as a measure to support responsible alcohol service to protect the health and safety of the public. Distraction Lounge is not required, as a condition of either ABC License or CUP 25-027,to provide any food. The letter of justification submitted by Alexander Lev Tambor("Applicant") states; "...the bar works with local restaurants nearby to provide meal service and also patrons to use food delivery services..." Planning Commissioner Palmer stated during the public hearing that she visited the site and talked to the surrounding businesses. She stated that the restaurants did not provide food to the Distraction Lounge. She also stated that there is a higher rate of incidences associated with alcohol sales in bars than restaurants that serve alcohol. Commissioner Palmer also stated that none of the other tenants would recommend Distraction Lounge to get an upgrade to its (ABC) license. "Every morning there are bodily fluids all over the parking lot" and "a lot of cacophony goes on from there". "A vacant spot next to that bar cannot find a tenant basically from what goes on in that parking lot and apparently the bar." She also concluded that there is a component of nuisance associated with this use. Planning Commissioner McGee asked about the police department's report and stated that at the time of April 14, 2026, Planning Commission meeting, Distraction Lounge had four (4) police service calls, drastically more than in 2025. He stated that two were sexual incidents and adding liquor would not make this better. The was a police service call on March 25, 2026, for a female employee being followed by a male patron. A disturbing the peace call on April 11. 2026. He concluded that the trend is not improving and adding alcohol (distilled spirits) would intensify behavior at a bar like this. The police department report initially provided to the planning commission included 28 police calls in the area of Distraction Lounge in the past three (3) years. During the meeting, the police department representative (a former detective) attempted to pare down the calls to only those directly caused by Distraction Lounge and not necessarily in the parking lot or DUI stops. The police department representative, when asked if this was a high crime area, stated; "That area gets a lot of calls for service." The finding for approval requires that the use will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity. The ABC requires a finding that the use is not detrimental to the welfare and morals of the area. The justification for the proposed findings stated that the use will not be detrimental because it is located in a commercial center and will augment the overall customer experience. The use in a commercial center does not justify an intensification of its liquor license. Any augmentation to the overall customer experience is outweighed by the detrimental impact on the welfare and morals of the area and community. The proposed finding states that the intensification of the liquor license is justified because it will be a benefit and serve customers in the community and surrounding region. The consistency finding with the Huntington Beach Land Use Element, Goal LU-11 is for the increase in sales tax revenue. Any benefit of increased sales tax revenue is outweighed by exacerbation of the existing high number of police service calls. Huntington Beach City Council May 31, 2026 Page 5 The proposed finding also states that the adjacent single family residential is "buffered" from the use of the parking lot and the subdivision wall, so there will be no noise concerns. There is no buffering. The parking lot and drive aisle are immediately adjacent to their backyards. The misinformation in the staff reports that Distraction Lounge is an existing "eating and drinking" establishment that makes it sound like it is a restaurant that wants to serve distilled spirits. This is misleading to residents in the surrounding neighborhood. The conditional use permit includes conditions of approval. Condition 2.b. requires the police department to conduct a formal review of the business one year after the approval of the CUP. We request that the conditions require an annual review because incidents can increase rapidly as indicated by police service calls in 2026. An annual review will keep the business invested in reducing police calls. Condition 2.c. concerns performance standards based on measurable increases in law enforcement, code enforcement, or emergency service activity reasonably attributed to the operation of the use.The term "reasonably attributed" needs to be clarified. The proposed use has a cumulative impact to the area, such as DUI's, disturbing the peace, loitering in the parking lot, nuisance violations, theft, sex crimes, and traffic stops. The proposed condition establishes a threshold is 25% or more in calls in a 12-month period which may result in modification or revocation of the permit. In 2026, that threshold has already been met. It is unclear how incidents will be attributed to the bikini lounge and what legislative body will modify or revoke the permit. OVSD is concerned with the cumulative impact to the area that already has a lot of police service calls. A measurable increase in the area's service calls should also be included to determine the impact to the area of the intensification of the Distraction Lounge liquor license. We request that the condition be revised to clarify how service calls will be attributed and an analysis of police service calls to the area, how the permit modification and revocation will occur. We request that we receive notice of any permit modification or revocation of the conditional use permit. Condition 2.e. and f. concern lighting, as required by the ABC license. The condition does not establish a lighting standard that is to be met at the entrance and in the front and rear parking areas. The existing lighting appears very dim. The typical lighting standard is 1 foot candle. We request that the condition be revised to include a specific lighting standard, such as 1 foot candle. Condition 2.u. and v. concern no window coverings or advertisement that reduce the visibility inside the business. The shopping center windows have already been blocked. Attachment 2, Project Plans, indicates on Elevation 4 that wooden panels cover windows that are on other tenant spaces in the shopping center. The photographs below show that the tenant units typically have window fronts. In addition, the photograph shows the existing low level of lighting in front of the Distraction Lounge and the breezeway to the back parking lot. The condition of approval should be revised to require the removal of the wooden panels because they reduce visibility inside the business. Huntington Beach City Council May 31, 2026 Page 6 • VIN 74:k.MM[i .000 1� Mwlurq IIi :. I:1'ma tilt I wl WUr .w Mr ELEVATION Ai Oil , • / Many of the proposed conditions of approval are requirements of the ABC licensing for a Type 48 permit. Type 48 permit also requires a condition for drug testing kits to prevent drink spiking. The license also requires reporting of drink spiking to the ABC. A condition of approval should be added requiring drug testing kits and reporting of drink spiking to the Huntington Beach police department as well as the ABC, since type of incident may not result in a police service call. The planning commissioners asked about the history of the Distraction Lounge. The applicant stated that Distraction Lounge took over the existing ABC Type 42 license from a business called the Filling Station in 2012 and continued to operate the bar. Staff stated a use and occupancy permit is required when a business changes hands. The applicant applied for a certificate of occupancy permit on October 29, 2012. However, the application for a new use and occupancy permit indicates that the land use is a store with an occupancy group of M classification, defined as a facility that holds stocks of goods, wares or merchandise incidental to such purpose. Clearly, the Distraction Lounge is not a store. The city inspector granted a certificate of use and occupancy for R-3, R-3-1 and U Occupancies. U occupancy is for Utility and Miscellaneous occupancies. R occupancies are for residential. Bars and taverns are Assembly Group A-2. This appears to be misdirection as to the true character of the land use when the applicant filed for a use and occupancy permit. We were unable to find a Huntington Beach business license for Distraction Lounge. We also were unable to find a business entity on the California Secretary of State Portal. The applicant's representative stated during the planning commission hearing that the owner of Distraction Lounge recently incorporated the business after operating the business as a sole proprietorship. Possibly the business is incorporated in another state, Huntington Beach City Council May 31, 2026 Page 7 but that would be on the business license. A condition of approval should be added requiring the applicant to obtain a business license and obtain an appropriate certificate of use and occupancy that reflects the land use and complete area of occupancy.

This needs to be clarified if the Distraction Lounge has access to Storage Suite B. If so, it needs to be part of the permit. CENT rR JPERTr , if_ . i DNTn1AC.1.n.ORNV8 LOUM06 .. - 730 SF — .

The expanded liquor license at Distractions Lounge because student and public safety, neighborhood integrity, and the health and welfare of the community should be prioritized over expanding alcohol service near school property. Thank you. Pat Goodman From: Celeste Rvbickt To: CITY COUNCIL(INCL.CMO STAFFl;5uoolementalcomm(iilsurfcity-hb.orq Subject: NO bikini bar near Westmont Elementary School and Ocean View School District property Date: Monday,June 1,2026 8:19:17 AM Good morning City Councilmembers, Before your next meeting I wanted to write to make clear that -as an HB resident and mother of 3 young kids - I oppose the expanded liquor license at Distractions Lounge because student safety, neighborhood quality of life, and public safety should be prioritized over expanding alcohol service near school property. I don't believe this to be a positive move for our community or "rebranding" our image. Thank you, Celeste From: Carol Dau$ To: 5uoolementalcommi@surfcity-hb.org;CITY COUNCIL(INCL.CMO STAFF) Subject: Agenda Item#14-Resolution 2026-25 Date: Monday,June 1,2026 4:18:42 PM Dear Mayor McKeon and Council Members, I urge you to vote Yes on agenda item #14 and Adopt Resolution 2026-25 to restore local control of our housing. We do not want "builder's remedy" to initiate construction of high- density, affordable housing anywhere in the city, as it happened in Beverly Hills. This could happen without a housing element, which you've been putting off for three years. Your city council has cost HB taxpayers millions of dollars in a fight that was unwinnable from the start. It's time to stop this reckless retribution against Sacramento and comply with the state mandates involving the housing element. Michael Gates'theory about a charter city's right to control housing proved false and was even denied by the conservative Supreme Court. Conservative President Ronald Reagan, who supported and signed the California Housing Element in 1967, understood the need for housing for future generations. Now would be a good time to practice fiscal conservatism instead of pursuing costly lawsuits that cannot succeed. Finally, I urge you not to expand the liquor license for Distractions Lounge, the bikini bar near Westmont Elementary School. It's bad enough that you voted to allow the sale of liquor at our Sports Complex, right next to a playground. Must you continue to put alcohol sales tax revenue above children? Thanks for hearing my concerns.

Learn why this is important Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the Huntington Beach City Council, I am writing to urge the City Council to grant the appeal and deny the Conditional Use Permit / Type 48 liquor license upgrade for Distractions Lounge (Agenda Item #10). The current operation of this establishment routinely violates California state law and local zoning codes, proving that the business is a detriment to public welfare and the surrounding community. While Distractions Lounge operates as a standard bar under California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) rules, its staff routinely and flagrantly violate California ABC Rule 143 regarding attire and conduct for beverage servers. Specifically, I have witnessed the following severe violations: • Prohibited Breast Exposure: Multiple bartenders wear pasties that leave the entire breast exposed. Furthermore, at times staff wear sheer, completely translucent clothing that fully exposes their nipples and breasts. • Prohibited Buttocks Exposure: Employees who are actively serving beverages to customers are failing to cover their buttocks. They routinely wear outfits that leave their whole buttocks exposed, all the bottoms are always string bikinis which is a direct violation of state regulations governing food and beverage servers. • Illegal Lewd Conduct: Bartenders are purposely and overtly exposing their private anatomy to patrons in exchange for monetary tips. • Intoxicated staff: Bartenders are also permitted to consume alcohol while on shift which results in over serving of patrons and leads to many problems since they are too intoxicated to properly do their jobs. Under California ABC Rule 143.2, standard retail liquor licensees are strictly prohibited from permitting employees who serve beverages to expose their breasts or buttocks. Distractions Lounge is operating an illegal adult entertainment venue under the guise of a standard lounge. 1 This blatant lawlessness is completely unacceptable for an establishment operating in immediate proximity to Westmont Elementary School. The fact that the City Council was reportedly only provided a summary of 4 police calls for service—while previous Planning Commission records detailed 28 police calls from 2023 to 2026—suggests that the true operational impact of this venue is being downplayed. Distractions Lounge has demonstrated a complete disregard for state law, public decency, and its existing permit conditions. They cannot be trusted with an expanded, full-liquor Type 48 license. I strongly urge you to uphold the appeal and deny this permit tonight. Attached are some pictures directly from Distractions lounge instagram page showing the bartenders regular attire and perfect examples of the outfit violations named above. Sincerely, Andrew James Vandeveer.
