(District 5)
DISCUSSION
The Long Beach Municipal Code (LBMC) requires an application be filed and a hearing be held before the City Council whenever this type of activity is requested and before a permit is granted or denied.
The LBMC also requires that the City Council make a finding that the conduct of the business will comport with the public health, safety, morals and welfare, and if this is so, they may authorize the Director of Financial Management to issue the permit.
Attached for your review is the application from Topping, Inc., DBA Topping Events, Inc. Also attached are reports from various departments and a summary of those reports, as well as the license history of the establishment.
City departments have conducted their investigation in accordance with the LBMC. The following summarizes their findings:
· The Police Department recommends that the permit for Boxing/Wrestling/Mixed Martial Arts be approved subject to conditions.
· The Fire Department recommends that the permit for Boxing/Wrestling/Mixed Martial Arts be approved.
· The Health and Human Services Department finds that the building/location meets department requirements for the proposed use with the condition that the establishment remain in compliance with the Long Beach Noise Ordinance (LBMC Chapter 8.80).
