Proposed expansion is into vacant comic store as explained by Mr. Woods. Desired hours of operation are from 11 AM to 2 AM 7 nights per week. No live entertainment was asked for. Concerns brought up by Chair Woolsey and Business Chair Thor Lee the parking situation in Hollywood & Highland area including the normal lot for this establishment currently under-going construction as a residential building and none being available the H & H Center due to the profusion of Entitlements already present there-in. No parking plan with a signed lease was presented and according to Housing Chair Paul Ramsey this was in-adequate for consideration.

Motion to table pending resolution of these items made, seconded, and passed.
