H Hotel - ZA-2019-7227-CUB-PA1

The project involves the consolidation of two existing Conditional Use Permits for restaurant operations within the H Hotel at 3200–3222 West 8th Street in Los Angeles, California, 90005, into a single permit under case number ZA-2019-7227-CUB-PA1. Restaurant No. 1, located in a 1,336-square-foot lobby space, will continue its current operations with 45 indoor seats and a 300-square-foot outdoor dining area serving alcohol from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., with no proposed changes. Restaurant No. 2, previously a karaoke venue spanning 3,300 square feet across the first floor and mezzanine, will transition to a full-service restaurant with 65 indoor seats—down from 66—and extend its operating hours from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., aligning with Restaurant No. 1. The project requires no new construction or physical expansion, and approval is conditioned on compliance with a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15301, Class 1, which permits operation, repair, and minor alterations to existing facilities without significant environmental impact. Administrative oversight is handled by the City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning, with Monique Acosta as the primary point of contact and Royal Hospitality Group Inc. as the applicant, represented by Bill Robinson and Mike Barry. No financial terms, delivery schedules, federal contract clauses, or procurement evaluation criteria are applicable, as this is a land use entitlement matter rather than a competitive solicitation or service contract. The approval process centers on environmental compliance and regulatory alignment of permitted uses and operational parameters, with no federal contracting mechanisms, payment systems, or socioeconomic certifications involved.
