Bossa Nova Restaurant

The Bossa Nova Restaurant project, located at 7181 West Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, is seeking a Class 2 Conditional Use Permit from the City of Los Angeles. This permit would authorize the sale and dispensing of a full line of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption and allow for limited live entertainment. The facility consists of a 2,543 square-foot restaurant with 58 indoor seats and two covered patios totaling 1,509 square feet with 76 outdoor seats. The applicant proposes 24-hour daily operations with no new construction, expansion of the building footprint, or increase in height. The project has been granted a categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, as it involves existing facilities with negligible expansion of use. This administrative determination means the project is not expected to cause significant environmental impacts. The process is managed by the City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning, with Monique Acosta serving as the City Planner and Lee Rabun acting as the representative for the applicant. The notice of exemption initiates a 35-day statute of limitations for any legal challenges to the exemption status.
