Bossa Nova Restaurant

The Bossa Nova Restaurant in Los Angeles has applied for a Class 2 Conditional Use Permit to authorize the sale and on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages within its existing 2,543-square-foot facility, which currently accommodates 58 indoor seats along with two covered patios totaling 1,509 square feet and 76 outdoor seats. The permit request also includes approval for limited live entertainment and 24-hour daily operations, with no new construction, expansion of floor area, footprint, or building height proposed. The project is being evaluated under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a categorical exemption under Section 15301 for existing facilities, asserting that the proposed changes involve only internal operational adjustments to an established business with minimal environmental impact. The City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning is overseeing the review, with the applicant required to submit a certified document confirming the exemption status if not already on file. The project site is located at 7181 West Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90046, and while the application has been posted for public notice as of August 11, 2025, no formal contract value, procurement type, or federal acquisition clauses are involved. There is no indication of competitive bidding, federal funding, or traditional government contract administration structures; instead, the process adheres strictly to local zoning regulations and CEQA compliance requirements. Contact for the application is Monique Acosta, City Planner, with additional correspondence handled by the applicant’s representative, Lee Rabun. No payment, invoicing, accounting, or delivery logistics information is applicable, as this is a land-use entitlement, not a procurement or service contract. The only formal requirement tied to approval is the submission of the certified CEQA exemption document from the City Planning Department.
