Taste of the Caribbean/ ENV-2024-7912-CE/ ZA-2024-7911-CUB

The project seeks approval for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the sale and on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages at a 1,794 square-foot restaurant located at 5920 West Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, with daily operating hours from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. and a seating capacity of 57 patrons. The application is processed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and qualifies for a Class 1 categorical exemption, which permits minor alterations to existing structures without expansion of use, and no significant environmental impacts are anticipated. The applicant is Bernard James, with Kevin Franklin serving as the representative for coordination, and David Woon of the City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning is the primary point of contact for administrative and regulatory follow-up. The project does not involve a federal contract, procurement, or associated FAR clauses; it is a local land-use entitlement matter governed by municipal zoning and environmental regulations. No contract value, pricing, delivery schedules, payment terms, or federal acquisition requirements are applicable or provided, as the process centers on regulatory approval rather than the acquisition of goods or services. All submissions are handled through paper-based channels, with filings directed to the City Clerk’s Office in Los Angeles or the County Clerk’s Office in Norwalk, and no electronic submission options are recognized. The approval conditions are confined to operational parameters, including permitted hours and seating limits, and are subject to compliance with local ordinances and CEQA guidelines.
