The subject property is an existing restaurant and bar ( Curve Bar and Restaurant') located in an M-2 (Heavy Industrial) Zoning District, a 105-F Height and Bulk District, a Mixed-Use Housing Zone, and the proposed Ballpark Vicinity SUD.

The existing facility was established prior to this requirement and thus is a nonconforming use (pursuant to Planning Code Sections 180 through 185).
