HomeMy WebLinkAbout3.0_Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase_PA2018-19604"O;"�"t CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBJECT: Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) Conditional Use Permit No. UP2018-013 SITE LOCATION: 121 Mc Fadden Place APPLICANT: Mario Marovic OWNER: McFadden Place, LLC PLANNER: Benjamin M. Zdeba, AICP, Associate Planner 949-644-3253, bzdeba@newportbeachca.gov PROJECT SUMMARY June 20, 2019 Agenda Item No. 3 The applicant requests to increase the allowed occupant load of the existing Stag Bar from 207 persons to a maximum of 260 persons. The bar is currently allowed to operate from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m., daily. In conjunction with the occupant load increase, the applicant also proposes to modify the allowed hours of operation, such that no new patrons would be permitted to enter after 1 a.m. and last call for alcohol service would occur at 1:30 a.m. The bar is currently permitted to operate with a Type 48 (On Sale General — Public Premises) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license. There are no substantial changes to the floor plan proposed with this application. With the proposed occupant load increase, the applicant is required to install fire sprinklers throughout the building. As there is no parking on -site, the applicant also requests a waiver of the required 13 parking spaces incurred by the increased occupant load. The applicant provided a parking study prepared by a qualified professional to help substantiate the requested waiver. The establishment currently operates under Conditional Use Permit No. UP2013-016, which would be superseded if this application is approved. RECOMMENDATION 1) Conduct a public hearing; 2) Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and 3) Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-018 approving Conditional Use Permit No. UP2018-013 (Attachment No. PC 1). 1 9 Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) Planning Commission, June 20, 2019 Page 2 VICINITY MAP S i.4 A - , a �ilu"' Al ?�_ _ .'�, � A `� M1M1 o01 ,per• M1 , � ko ry GENERAL PLAN ZONING 46, 04 LOCATION GENERAL PLAN ZONING CURRENT USE M Mixed-Use (Related) M (Related) Mixed -Use ON -SITE Water Water(Rela Stag Bar and Hotel NORTH MU-W2 MU-W2 I Food service, mixed -use, and retail uses CV (Visitor -Serving CV (Commercial Visitor- SOUTH Commercial Serving) Food service and hotel uses EAST MU-W2 MU-W2 Parking lot, retail, office, food service uses WEST MU-W2 MU-W2 Food service, mixed -use, and retail uses, parking lot 3 V� QP �. Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) Planning Commission, June 20, 2019 Page 3 INTRODUCTION Project Setting and Background The subject property is located within the McFadden Square area of the Balboa Peninsula near the Newport Pier. Surrounding land uses include Rockin' Baja Lobster and 21 Oceanfront Restaurant to the south; The Blue Beet and Cafe II Farro to the west with mixed -use development beyond; and TK Burger and Taco Bell Cantina to the north. The 137-parking-space McFadden Square municipal parking lot is located adjacent to the project site. Also located within walking distance is the Newport Pier municipal parking lot which contains approximately 260 parking spaces. According to County records, the Stag Bar and Hotel building was originally constructed in 1912. Research estimates the establishment commenced operation in 1914, as "The Stag Bar" and the hotel above has been in operation since the mid-1930s. In 2014, the applicant obtained a conditional use permit and an operator license to allow the expansion of the existing 2,506-square-foot eating and drinking establishment into the abutting 1,487-square-foot liquor store tenant space. The expansion was completed in 2016, and created a new dining area, a small outdoor dining area, and improved back -of - house areas, including a full -service kitchen for the service of food. The liquor store use was eliminated. Much of the bar area remained with a long bar counter, booth seating areas, and two pool tables. The existing floor plan is provided as Attachment No. PC 7. The existing allowed hours of operation are from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m., daily, without any additional restrictions, and the current allowed occupant load is limited to 207 persons. Project Description The applicant requests to modify the existing operation to increase the allowed occupant load by 53 to 260 persons, a 25 percent increase. Also proposed is a reduction in the permissible operational hours. No new patrons would be allowed into the establishment after 1 a.m. and last call would occur at 1:30 a.m. While the current customer area can accommodate the increased occupant load, project implementation would require improvements under California Building Code (CBC) and the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Title 15 (Buildings and Construction), including the installation of fire sprinklers. The proposed increase in occupant load also increases the parking requirement for the bar, so the applicant is requesting a waiver of an additional 13 parking spaces over the 9 spaces that were already waived by the Commission with its prior approval in 2014. The Stag Bar, nor the liquor store area it expanded into, have ever provided off-street parking, which is typical for many of the establishments in the McFadden Square area. 5 Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) Planning Commission, June 20, 2019 Page 4 Consistency with General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan/Zoning The site is designated Mixed -Use Water Related (MU-W2) by the General Plan Land Use Element, the Coastal Land Use Plan, and the Zoning Code, which allows for eating and drinking establishments and visitor accommodations, but does not permit the operation of a bar. The Stag Bar began operation prior to the any City zoning ordinances and was considered legal nonconforming; however, it was issued Conditional Use Permit No. UP2013-016 in 2014 to expand the use. If the proposal is approved, this Conditional Use Permit would be superseded by the currently requested Conditional Use Permit No. UP2018-013. The MU-W2 General Plan land use designation allows a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) 0.5 given its composition of only commercial uses. The existing FAR for the subject property has been historically nonconforming at approximately 1.65. Since the proposed project will not result in an increase in the floor area, it is consistent with the Land Use Element. Land Use Policy LU6.8.2 (Component Districts) of the General Plan notes "McFadden Square should be emphasized as [one of the] primary activity centers of the northern portion of the Peninsula." The existing and requested operation of the Stag Bar is consistent with this policy. Land Use Policy LU6.12.1 (Priority Uses) of the General Plan and Land Use Policy 2.1.5-7 of the Coastal Land Use Plan state that one of the goals for the McFadden Square area is to "accommodate visitor- and local -serving uses that take advantage of McFadden Square's waterfront setting including specialty retail, restaurants, and small scale overnight accommodations". The proposed project is consistent with this policy because it will help to ensure the continued operation of a visitor -serving establishment. The structure was built in 1912, without any on -site parking, and based on records research, its floor area has not been increased since original construction. The maximum occupant load is dictated by the California Building Code (CBC) and NBMC Title 15 (Buildings and Construction). Based upon CBC and NBMC Title 15 changes over time, the technical maximum allowed occupant load and its calculation has been updated. With the approval of the 2014 Conditional Use Permit (UP2013-016), the occupant load was limited to 207 persons. The request to increase the occupant load to 260 persons does not exceed what the current building construction regulations could allow. It should be noted that fire sprinklers throughout the entire building, among other interior improvements, will be required. Furthermore, as there are no substantial improvements proposed or building areas expanded, the use is not intensified and no coastal development permit is required. N Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) Planning Commission, June 20, 2019 Page 5 Parking Requirements Pursuant to NBMC Section 20.40.040 (Off -Street Parking Spaces Required), a bar requires one parking space for each four persons based on allowed occupant load and the hotel use requires one parking space per hotel unit for a current total parking requirement of 60 parking spaces for the existing development. With its approval of Conditional Use Permit No. UP2013-016 in 2014, the Planning Commission granted a waiver of 9 parking spaces. The proposed project would increase the establishment's occupancy by 53 persons thereby increasing the parking requirement by 13 parking spaces. Accordingly, the parking requirement for the proposed eating and drinking establishment and hotel is 73 parking spaces (see summary table below). No on -site parking is provided; therefore, the applicant requests a waiver of the 13 additional parking spaces resulting from the proposed increase. This is represented in Table 1 below. Table 1, Existing and proposed parking requirements for the subject property. Existing Parking Requirement Proposed Parking Requirement The Stag Bar & Grill 52 spaces The Stag Bar & Grill 65 spaces The Stag Hotel 8 s aces The Stag Hotel 8 spaces Total 60 spaces Total 73 spaces Adjustment to Required Parkinq The applicant contracted with RK Engineering Group, Inc. to conduct a parking survey for the proposed project. The goal of the survey was to determine what modes of transportation are most prevalent for patrons of the establishment. The survey was conducted on Friday, April 26, 2019, and Saturday, April 27, 2019, in the evening and included 119 patrons. The full parking survey has been attached as Attachment No. PC 6. In summary, the survey found that 13 percent of patrons of the existing establishment drove a vehicle and parked within the adjacent parking lot and 87 percent of patrons arrived by way of an alternative mode of transportation (i.e., carpool, rideshare, taxi, bicycle, and walking). Although the results are not entirely conclusive given the brevity of the survey, staff believes it is indicative of how the majority of patrons opt for alternative modes of transportation and do not arrive by way of a single -occupant vehicle. Furthermore, the applicant conducted a field survey of available parking within the McFadden Square municipal parking lot on Friday, April 26, 2019, in the evening (Attachment No. PC 6). The field survey indicated a peak demand of 93 percent occupancy at 7 p.m. In accordance with NBMC Section 20.40.110 (Adjustments to Off -Street Parking Requirements), the Planning Commission must consider whether sufficient data is 7 Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) Planning Commission, June 20, 2019 Page 6 provided to indicate that parking demand will be less than the required number of spaces or that other parking is available (e.g., City parking lot located nearby, on -street parking, greater than normal walk-in trade, and mixed -use development) in conjunction with a parking management program. In this case, however, a parking management program is not applicable since there is no on -site parking available. The following circumstances are applicable to the proposed project, which reduce the overall parking demand: • Captive Market. Land uses on the Balboa Peninsula within close proximity of one another generate the opportunity for shared trips. The McFadden Square area does have some on -street parking in the vicinity; however, the two municipal lots adjacent to the property provide 400 parking spaces, thus providing the largest parking pool in the area. • Different Peak Periods. The highest parking demand created by the bar is offset from most retail, office, and beach uses, which peak during the noon hour. Peak parking demand for the bar is in the evening, which coincides with peak demand for residential use of public parking and patrons of the surrounding eating and drinking establishments. However, the two municipal lots and nearby on -street parking offer sufficient public parking to accommodate both residential and restaurant uses during the evening hours. The greatest parking demand will continue to occur on weekend days and evenings during the summer. • High levels of pedestrian and bicycle access to the subject property limit the impact on off-street parking. The Balboa Peninsula and McFadden Square areas are characterized by a higher level of pedestrian and bicycle traffic, especially nearest to the beachfront. In a dense commercial environment with multiple uses and the Newport Pier in close proximity to the subject property, parking demand is typically less than the predicted parking requirement of the Zoning Code and each use does not need to supply its full complement of parking. A dense mixed -use area creates a "park -once" environment which allows patrons to park once and visit multiple destinations reducing overall parking demand as compared to the Zoning Code. These shared trips coupled with significant walk-in patronage from nearby areas suggests the increased occupancy request will not impact existing parking resources. Additionally, to require parking for individual uses would be infeasible due to existing development that occupies the entire lot and it would be undesirable to have multiple small parking lots throughout the area. The bar would remain compatible with the surrounding uses and parking demand would be lower due to shared trips. I Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) Planning Commission, June 20, 2019 Page 7 Late Hours Considerations Pursuant to NBMC Section 20.48.090 (Eating and Drinking Establishments, the Planning Commission must consider the following potential impacts upon adjacent or nearby uses when reviewing an application to allow late -hour operations: 1. Noise from music, dancing, and voices associated with allowed indoor or outdoor uses and activities; 2. High levels of lighting and illumination; 3. Increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic activity during late and early morning hours; 4. Increased trash and recycling collection activities; 5. Occupancy loads of the use; and 6. Any other factors that may affect adjacent or nearby uses. The applicant is not proposing any live entertainment or dancing; however, amplified music through a sound amplification system is currently used and will remain. Condition of Approval No. 23 requires the exterior doors and windows to be closed at all times, except for ingress and egress purposes. The additional operational constraints with an "exit -only" policy at 1 a.m. and a 1:30 a.m. last call for alcohol service will also help to reduce any noise issues. No new lighting is proposed on the building. There is existing and adequate outdoor lighting within the adjacent municipal parking lot located at the front of the establishment. The existing establishment currently operates until 2 a.m. without any further restrictions and with a maximum of 207 occupants. The revised operation would implement additional restrictions on the hours of operation in conjunction with a maximum of 260 occupants. Increased pedestrian and vehicular activity is expected during late and early morning hours if the request is approved. This is a primary concern for the residential neighbors due to the potential for patrons to loiter in the parking lot and adjacent streets. However, the new restrictions will result in the earlier dispersion of Stag Bar patrons from the immediate area, and they will not be able to gain entry to other open establishments. On balance, the increased occupancy is mitigated in part by the earlier closing time. Approval of any increase in allowed occupant load in conjunction with a building permit would require the applicant to obtain a new Operator License from the Police Department pursuant to NBMC Chapter 5.25 (Operator License for Establishments Offering Alcoholic Beverages for On -Site Consumption in Combination with Later Hours, Entertainment, and/or Dance). Operator Licenses provide for enhanced control of noise, loitering, litter, 0 Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) Planning Commission, June 20, 2019 Page 8 disorderly conduct, parking/circulation, and other potential disturbances resulting from the establishment, and they provide the Police Department with means to modify, suspend, or revoke the operator's ability to maintain late -hour operations. A trash enclosure is not currently provided on -site; however, the applicant has an existing agreement with the adjoining property owner to utilize a shared trash area behind the Cafe II Farro restaurant. As conditioned, the operator will be required to maintain the trash area such that odors are controlled appropriately. Should the existing trash area be determined by the City in the future to be inadequate, the applicant will be required to increase the frequency of pickups. Alcoholic Beverage Sales Considerations When reviewing an application to allow an eating or drinking establishment to sell, serve, or give away alcohol, NBMC Section 20.48.090 (Eating and Drinking Establishments) requires the Planning Commission to evaluate the potential impacts upon adjacent uses (within 100 feet as measured between the nearest lot lines) and to consider the proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off -site or on -site consumption. The adjacent uses are mixed -use, residential, general commercial, and retail. The draft resolution includes conditions of approval to minimize negative impacts that the proposed eating and drinking establishment may have to surrounding residential uses and ensure that the use remains compatible with the surrounding community. In order to approve a use permit for alcohol sales, the Planning Commission must also find that the use is consistent with the purpose and intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales). In doing so, the following must be considered: a) The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as compared to other areas in the City. b) The numbers of alcohol -related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting district and in adjacent reporting districts. c) The proximity of the establishment to residential zoning districts, day care centers, hospitals, park and recreation facilities, places of worship, schools, other similar uses, and any uses that attract minors. d) The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off - site or on -site consumption. e) Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable conditions. The establishment is located within Reporting District 15, which includes most of the commercial establishments for the Balboa Peninsula between the Newport Boulevard on- 10 Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) Planning Commission, June 20, 2019 Page 9 ramp and 20th Street. For a map of the City of Newport Beach Reporting Districts, see Attachment No. PC 5. Operational characteristics, including the more restrictive hours, are conditioned to maintain and improve compatibility with the surrounding land uses. A memorandum that includes alcohol -related statistics from 2018 is provided in Attachment No. PC 4. The Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) does not object to the increase in occupancy with the proposed restrictions on the operational hours and an improved security plan. In the memorandum, the NBPD notes that many individuals rush to Stag Bar from neighboring establishments once they close. The 1 a.m. "exit -only' policy is viewed as a benefit because it eliminates the current rush at 1:30 a.m. A detailed discussion of these considerations is provided in the draft resolution for approval (Attachment No. PC 1). Conditional Use Permit Findings In accordance with Section 20.52.020 (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use Permits), the Planning Commission must make the following findings for approval of a conditional use permit: 1. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. 2. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and the Municipal Code. 3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity. 4. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access and public services and utilities. 5. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. Staff believes sufficient facts exist in support of each finding. The continued operation of a bar is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Mixed -Use Water Related (MU-W2) land use designation of the General Plan. Although a bar is not listed as a permitted use under eating and drinking establishment uses within the Mixed -Use Water Related (MU- W2) Zoning District, nonconforming uses are permitted to expand pursuant to NBMC Section 20.38.050(A) (Nonconforming Uses). The MU-W2 designation applies to waterfront properties in which marine -related uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor -serving commercial, and residential dwelling units on the upper floors. 11 Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) Planning Commission, June 20, 2019 Page 10 Eating and drinking establishments can be expected to be found in this area and are complementary to the surrounding commercial uses. The project has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure that potential conflicts with the surrounding land uses are minimized to the extent possible to maintain a healthy environment for both residents and businesses. The additional late -night restrictions will help make the establishment more compatible with uses in the McFadden Square area despite the increased number of patrons and because patrons will leave the area sooner. The bar does not propose live entertainment or dancing, thereby reducing the probability for the establishment to evolve into a nightclub. The establishment's location, in the heart of a commercial area within the Balboa Peninsula, is appropriate for an operation with the recommended honors and continuation of alcohol service. Alcohol service will continue to be provided as a convenience to the public and the addition of food service provides an additional choice for visitors. As conditioned, the proposed project will continue to comply with Zoning Code standards for eating and drinking establishments and solid waste storage. Based on the parking information provided and the characteristics of the area, staff believes adequate parking is available for its recommended operation at all times of the day. It should be noted that no on -site parking is provided for many uses in the immediate area and any use occupying this tenant space would be subject to the same conditions. To help ensure that the increased occupant load of the establishment does not create a detrimental impact during late hours, the operator will be required to secure an operator license and to take reasonable steps to discourage and correct objectionable conditions that constitute a nuisance to areas surrounding the establishment. Should the operator be unable to abide by the conditions of approval or prevent objectionable conditions from occurring, the Police Department will have the authority to modify, suspend, or revoke the operator's ability to maintain late -hour operations past 11 p.m. It could also reduce the occupant load or modify other operating conditions. Correspondence Received At the time this report was published, staff had received two emails in opposition of the project citing concerns with the increased occupant load, policing, and the requested reduction in required parking. They are attached as Attachment No. PC 8. Summary and Alternatives In consultation with NBPD, staff believes the requested occupant load increase, subject to compliance with building code requirements, is acceptable given the additional operational hour restrictions that will prevent any new patrons from entering after 1 a.m. Last call would occur at 1:30 a.m. Currently, there are no such restrictions and patrons may order alcoholic 12 Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) Planning Commission, June 20, 2019 Page 11 beverages up until 2 a.m. The applicant is also required to provide and implement an improved security plan for the bar by adding additional personnel. The security plan is subject to review and approval by the NBPD. These operational changes are viewed as a benefit that may eliminate the current rush of individuals attempting to patronize the Stag Bar after other nearby establishments close and may also eliminate late -night lines in front of the bar. Staff believes the findings for approval can be made and the facts in support of the required findings are presented in the draft resolution (Attachment No. PC 1). The increased occupant load will also help to provide an economic incentive for the property owner to add fire sprinklers, which will help improve public safety and provide a benefit to the surrounding area. The following alternatives are available to the Planning Commission: 1. The Planning Commission may suggest specific operational changes that are necessary to alleviate any concerns. If any additional requested changes are substantial, the item could be continued to a future meeting. Should the Planning Commission choose to do so, staff will return with a revised resolution incorporating new findings and/or conditions; or 2. If the Planning Commission believes there are insufficient facts to support the findings for approval, the Planning Commission should deny the application and provide facts in support of denial to be included in the attached draft resolution for denial (Attachment No. PC 2). Environmental Review This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 under Class Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. The Class 1 exemption allows interior or exterior alterations involving interior partitions, plumbing and electrical conveyances. The project is an increase in occupant load with no additional floor area or exterior modifications in a building that was originally designed to accommodate a higher occupant load than currently allowed. The proposal requires minor interior improvements to install fire sprinklers throughout the building. Public Notice Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all owners of property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights -of -way and waterways) including the applicant and posted on the subject property at least 10 days before the scheduled meeting, consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code. i3 Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) Planning Commission, June 20, 2019 Page 12 Additionally, the item appeared on the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the City website.

PC2019-018 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. UP2018-013 TO ALLOW AN INCREASED OCCUPANT LOAD AND REDUCE THE OFF- STREET PARKING REQUIREMENT BY AN ADDITIONAL 13 SPACES FOR AN EXISTING BAR ESTABLISHMENT AT 121 MC FADDEN PLACE (PA2018-196) THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS. An application was filed by Mario Marovic ("Applicant'), with respect to property located at 121 Mc Fadden Place, and legally described as Lots 15 and 16 in Block 21 of Newport Beach, County of Orange, State of California, as per Map recorded in Book 3, Page 26 of Miscellaneous Maps, in the office of the County Recorder of said County ("Property") requesting approval of a conditional use permit ("CUP"). 2. The Applicant requests to increase the allowed occupant load of the existing Stag Bar from 207 persons to a maximum of 260 persons. The bar is currently allowed to operate from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m., daily. In conjunction with the occupant load increase, the Applicant also proposes to modify the allowed hours of operation, such that no new patrons would be permitted to enter after 1 a.m. and last call for alcohol service would occur at 1:30 a.m. The bar is currently permitted to operate with a Type 48 (On Sale General — Public Premises) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license. There are no substantial changes to the floor plan proposed with this application. With the proposed occupant load increase, the Applicant is required to install fire sprinklers throughout the building. As there is no parking on -site, the applicant also requests a waiver of the required 13 parking spaces incurred by the increased occupant load. The establishment currently operates under Conditional Use Permit No. UP2013-016, which would be superseded if this application is approved. 3. The Property is located within the Mixed -Use Water Related ("MU-W2") Zoning District and the General Plan Land Use Element category is Mixed -Use Water Related ("MU-W2"). 4. The Property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan category is Mixed Use Water Related ("MU-W") and it is located within the Mixed -Use Water Related ("MU-W2") Coastal Zone District. The Property was developed in 1912 without any on -site parking, and based on records research, its floor area has not been increased since original construction. There are no exterior improvements or expansion of building floor area proposed; therefore, there is no intensification of use and a coastal development permit is not required. 5. A public hearing was held on June 20, 2019, in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and Newport Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC") Chapter 20.62 (Public Hearings). Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by the Planning Commission at this hearing. 17 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-018 Pace 2 of 14 SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION. This Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQK) pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. 2. The Class 1 exemption allows interior or exterior alterations involving interior partitions, plumbing and electrical conveyances. The Project is an increase in occupant load with no additional floor area or exterior modifications. The proposal requires minor interior improvements to install fire sprinklers throughout the building. SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS. In accordance with NBMC Subsection 20.48.030(C)(3) (Alcohol Sales), the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth: Finding: A. The use is consistent with the purpose and intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the Zoning Code. Facts in Support of Finding: In finding that the proposed use is consistent with NBMC Section 20.48.030, the following criteria must be considered: i. The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as compared to other areas in the City. The Property is located in Reporting District 15 ("RD 15"). The number of reported Part One Crimes within RD 15 in 2018, was 159 crimes. This amount is higher than adjacent reporting districts and the Citywide average. Part One Crimes are the eight most serious crimes defined by the FBI Uniform Crime Report — homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny -theft, auto theft, and arson. The higher crime rate is largely due to the number of visitors to the Balboa Peninsula, the high concentration of restaurants, and the high ratio of non-residential to residential uses clustered in the commercial and mixed -use districts. The McFadden Square area has historically been a business and recreation hub for residents and tourists, drawing a large number of visitors year-round but particularly in the summer months. While the area does have a high concentration of alcohol licenses, this establishment maintains an existing license. Therefore, the Project will not result in any increase in the number of alcohol licenses. The service of alcoholic beverages provides menu options for customers and potentially enhances the economic viability of the business, while the CUP and Operator License will provide greater enforcement options. 01-25-19 12 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-018 Paqe 3 of 14 2. The Newport Beach Police Department ("NBPD") has reviewed the proposal and has no objection to the Project, subject to appropriate conditions of approval. The operation of the establishment includes the approved floor plan, business hours that are more restrictive than the current hours, an improved security plan, and the requirement to obtain an operator license. The Operator License provides an additional tool for the NBPD to control the use, especially should objectionable activities occur at the site. ii. The numbers of alcohol -related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting district and in adjacent reporting districts. 1. RD 15 has a higher number of arrests recorded in 2018, compared to adjacent reporting districts. From January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018, the NBPD reported 581 arrests in RD 15. There were 12 arrests at this Property; however, not every arrest was related to the business and may have been related to a dispatch event in the direct vicinity. 2. The NBPD reviewed the application and does not anticipate any significant increase in crime or alcohol -related incidents with the approval of this application subject to the proposed conditions of approval, which includes more restrictive hours of operation. iii. The proximity of the establishment to residential zoning districts, day care centers, hospitals, park and recreation facilities, places of worship, schools, other similar uses, and any uses that attract minors. 1. The Project site is located in a mixed -use zoning district which allows for residential uses when intermixed with nonresidential uses. The nearest residential zoning district is located approximately 315 feet east of the project site, at the corner of West Balboa Boulevard and 215t Street. The nearest residential units are located 10 feet across the side alley to the northwest of the subject property in a mixed -use building. 2. The nearest recreational facilities, the beach and Newport Pier, are located approximately 300 feet to the southwest of the Property. The nearest church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, is located approximately 0.5 miles to the east of the subject property along West Balboa Boulevard. The nearest school, Newport Elementary School, is located 0.7 miles to the east of the subject property along West Balboa Boulevard. The nearest daycare center, Children's Center by the Sea, is approximately 0.6 miles to the east along West Balboa Boulevard. The Project use is surrounded by other commercial, retail, and office uses on the ground level. 3. The Balboa Peninsula is generally characterized by a high number of visitors, in which commercial and residential zoning districts are located in close proximity to one another and eating and drinking establishments with alcohol service are common. The proposed reduction in hours of operation in conjunction with the CUP and Operator License conditions of approval will help minimize nuisances that the 01-25-19 C' Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-018 Paqe 4 of 14 establishment could have to surrounding uses. This will help to ensure that the use remains compatible with the surrounding community. iv. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off -site or on - site consumption. The per capita ratio of one license for every 64 residents is higher than all adjacent Census Tracts and the average City-wide ratio. This is due to the higher concentration of commercial land uses, many of them visitor -serving, in McFadden Square, Lido Marina Village and Cannery Village, and lower number of residential population in the RD 15 area. Nearby establishments selling alcohol include the Taco Bell Cantina, 21 Oceanfront, Dory Deli, Beach Ball, Blackie's and several others located in the McFadden Square area. While the license -to -resident ratio is higher than average and the Property is located in close proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages, staff believes the physical and operational characteristics of the establishment would make the continuation of alcoholic beverage sales appropriate at this location. v. Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable conditions. No objectionable conditions are presently occurring at the Property. A bar has been operating at the Property since the early 1900s. It was remodeled and expanded in 2015, into an adjacent liquor store to include an enlarged kitchen and outdoor patio dining area. As part of the proposed occupant load increase, the building will be brought into compliance with all current Building and Fire Code requirements. 3. All employees serving alcohol will be required to be at least 21 years of age, and undergo, and successfully complete, Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) training. Approval of this application will require the operator to obtain a new Operator License pursuant to NBMC Chapter 5.25 (Operator License for Establishments Offering Alcoholic Beverages for On -Site Consumption in Combination with Late Hours, Entertainment, and/or Dance). The Operator License will provide enhanced tools to control noise, loitering, litter, disorderly conduct, parking/circulation and other potential disturbances that could result from the use, and will provide the PD with means to modify, suspend, or revoke the operator's ability to maintain late -hour operations. In accordance with NBMC Section 20.52.020(F) (Use Permit, Required Findings), the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth: Finding: B. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. 01-25-19 20 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-018 Page 5 of 14 Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The General Plan land use designation for this site is Mixed -Use Water Related ("MU- W2"). The MU-W2 designation applies to waterfront properties in which marine -related uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor -serving commercial, and residential dwelling units on the upper floors. The bar was renovated and expanded in 2015, to include a larger kitchen and dining area, and is the primary occupant of the Property. Although it was a nonconforming land use, it was determined to be consistent with this land use designation with the previous Conditional Use Permit approval. Eating and drinking establishment uses can be expected to be found in this area and similar locations and are complementary to the surrounding commercial and residential uses. 2. The Project will not result in an increase in the floor area ratio; therefore, it is consistent with the Land Use Element development limitations. 3. The proposed occupant load increase is for a use that is consistent with General Plan Land Use Policy LU6.8.2 (Component Districts), which emphasizes that McFadden Square should be utilized as one of the primary activity centers within the City. The increase in occupant load will allow additional people to enjoy the existing eating and drinking establishment as a visitor- and local -serving convenience. 4. Eating and drinking establishments are common in the vicinity along the Balboa Peninsula and are frequented by visitors and residents. The establishment is compatible with the land uses permitted within the surrounding neighborhood. The increased occupant load will help to allow the Applicant to continue to improve and revitalize the existing building and the surrounding neighborhood. 5. The Property is not part of a specific plan area. Finding: C. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and the Municipal Code. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The Property is located in the Mixed -Use Water Related ("MU-W2") Zoning District. The MU-W2 designation applies to waterfront properties in which marine -related uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor -serving commercial and residential dwelling units on the upper floors. Although a bar is not listed as a permitted or a conditionally permitted use within this district, the legal nonconforming use can be expanded subject to a conditional use permit pursuant to NBMC Section 20.38.050 (Nonconforming Uses). 2. A bar has been operating at the Property since the early 1900s. It was expanded and renovated in 2015, to add a kitchen, additional interior dining areas, and an outdoor patio area at the expense of a retail liquor store with a conditional use permit authorized by 01-25-19 21 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-018 Page 6 of 14 the Planning Commission in accordance with NBMC Section 20.38.050 (Nonconforming Uses). 3. The Property does not provide on -site parking, but the proposed increase in occupant load is not anticipated to change the parking demand significantly. The Applicant provided a parking study prepared by a qualified professional. The McFadden Square area is adequately served by the two adjacent municipal lots throughout most of the year and the close proximity to multiple commercial uses and coastal resources will result in shared trips to the project site area. Findin : D. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The operation of the eating and drinking establishment will be restricted such that no new patrons would be allowed to enter after 1 a.m. and last call for alcohol service would occur at 1:30 a.m., whereas it was previously allowed to operate until 2 a.m. without any further restrictions. The closing hour is compatible with other late -night eating and drinking establishments in the area. The NBPD has reviewed the proposed increase and is supportive of the reduced late hour operation and an improved security plan. 2. The existing floor plan is not changing as a result of the Project. Live entertainment and dancing are not proposed nor are they allowed activities. 3. The Project includes conditions of approval to ensure that potential conflicts are minimized to the greatest extent possible. Although the eating and drinking establishment is located approximately 10 feet from residential units across the alley to the northwest, the building is oriented toward Newport and West Balboa Boulevards away from the nearby mixed -use structures. The outdoor patio area is contained by the hotel roof deck above and a 6-foot-1-inch tall glass barrier. Activity from the establishment will be buffered from the residential uses across Newport and West Balboa Boulevards. The Applicant is also required to control trash and litter around the Property. 4. The operational conditions of approval recommended by the Police Department relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages, including an operator license, will help ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol related impacts. The project has been conditioned to ensure the welfare of the surrounding community. 5. As part of the previous remodel, the Applicant installed a grease interceptor, provided a wash -out area that drains to the sewer line, obtained Health Department approval prior to opening for business, and complied with the California Building Code to ensure the safety and welfare of customers and employees within the establishment. 01-25-19 22 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-018 Paqe 7 of 14 6. The Property is located in a relatively dense area with multiple uses within a short distance of each other. The McFadden Square area is conducive to a significant amount of walk-in patrons. The area experiences parking shortages in the daytime during the summer months, but parking is typically available during the rest of the year. Two municipal parking lots and on -street parking is available in the area to accommodate the proposed use in the off-season months. 7. The Applicant provided a parking study for the Property that was prepared by a qualified professional. The Project is not expected to noticeably change the parking demand in the McFadden Square area. Finding: E. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access and public services and utilities. Facts in Support of Findinq: The Property is developed with an existing commercial building and the tenant space is designed for an eating and drinking establishment. The design, size, location, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The existing tenant space on the Property has historically been utilized by an eating and drinking establishment and a liquor store, which was replaced by the bar's expansion in 2015. 2. Adequate public and emergency vehicle access, public services, and utilities are provided to the subject property. Any additional utility upgrades required for the occupant load increase will be required at plan check and have been included in the conditions of approval. 3. In conjunction with the occupant load increase, the Applicant is required to install a fire sprinkler system throughout the building. This improvement will enhance the safety of the existing building and benefit the surrounding structures and area. 4. A building permit is required prior to any occupant load increase. Any tenant improvements to the Property will comply with all Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes. All ordinances of the City and all conditions of approval will be complied with. Finding: F. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. 01-25-19 23 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-018 Paqe 8 of 14 Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The Project has been reviewed and includes conditions of approval to ensure that potential conflicts with the surrounding land uses are minimized to the greatest extent possible. The operator is required to take reasonable steps to discourage and correct objectionable conditions that constitute a nuisance in parking areas, sidewalks, and areas surrounding the subject property and adjacent properties during business hours, if directly related to the patrons of the establishment. 2. The establishment will continue to provide dining and entertainment as a public convenience to the surrounding neighborhood and visitors to the area. This will continue to help revitalize the Property and provide an economic opportunity for the Property owner to update the building and surrounding area, which best serve the quality of life for the surrounding visitor- and local -serving community. 3. The Applicant provided a parking study prepared by a qualified professional. The Project use is located in a district which is subject to a captive market that results in shared trips, different peak periods for a variety of land uses, and a high level of pedestrian and bicycle activity. These characteristics reduce the demand of the expanded bar establishment and the number of parking spaces required to serve the proposed use. Adequate parking is provided in the nearby municipal lots in the off-season months and summer weekdays to accommodate the proposed use. 4. The triangular outdoor patio area is open on only one side facing eastward towards Newport and West Balboa Boulevards and is delineated by a 6-foot-1-inch tall glass barrier to provide sound attenuation. The increased occupant load is not anticipated to increase noise, as the additional persons are calculated for inside the bar area. The occupant load of the outdoor dining area will not increase as part of the Project. SECTION 4. DECISION. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. UP2018-013, subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit "A," which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference. 2. This action shall become final and effective 14 days following the date this Resolution was adopted unless within such time an appeal is filed with the City Clerk in accordance with the provisions of NBMC Title 20 Planning and Zoning. 3. This Resolution supersedes Planning Commission Resolution No. 1938, which upon vesting of the rights authorized by this Conditional Use Permit, shall become null and void. 01-25-19 24 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-018 Paqe 9 of 14 PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED THIS 20TH DAY OF JUNE, 2019.

UP2018-013 TO ALLOW AN INCREASED OCCUPANT LOAD AND REDUCE THE OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENT BY AN ADDITIONAL 13 SPACES FOR AN EXISTING BAR ESTABLISHMENT AT 121 MC FADDEN PLACE (PA2018-196) 11:1��7��'L�7�►1�991�1:i■:3�G[y:���_1►1►11►[eZK�] � I � I[.Y.9[�7►�:I�:��:1'��I�I�Ly_[.y7�]i���U�691 SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS. 1. An application was filed by Mario Marovic ("Applicant'), with respect to property located at 121 Mc Fadden Place, and legally described as Lots 15 and 16 in Block 21 of Newport Beach, County of Orange, State of California, as per Map recorded in Book 3, Page 26 of Miscellaneous Maps, in the office of the County Recorder of said County ("Property") requesting approval of a conditional use permit ("CUP"). 2. The Applicant requests to increase the allowed occupant load of the existing Stag Bar from 207 persons to a maximum of 260 persons. The bar is currently allowed to operate from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m., daily, without any further restrictions. In conjunction with the occupant load increase, the Applicant also proposes to modify the allowed hours of operation, such that no new patrons would be permitted to enter after 1 a.m. and last call for alcohol service would occur at 1:30 a.m. The bar is currently permitted to operate with a Type 48 (On Sale General — Public Premises) Alcoholic Beverage Control ("ABC") license. There are no substantial improvements to the building proposed with this application. As there is no parking on -site, the Applicant also requests a waiver of the required 13 parking spaces incurred by the increased occupant load ("Project'). The establishment currently operates under Conditional Use Permit No. UP2013- 016, which would be superseded if this application is approved. 3. The Property is located within the Mixed -Use Water Related ("MU-W2") Zoning District and the General Plan Land Use Element category is Mixed -Use Water Related ("MU-W2"). 4. The Property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan category is Mixed Use Water Related ("MU-W") and it is located within the Mixed -Use Water Related ("MU-W2") Coastal Zone District. The Property was originally developed without any on -site parking. Although the structure was designed to accommodate a higher occupant load pursuant to the California Building Code ("CBC") and Newport Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC) Title 15 (Buildings and Construction), the occupant load was limited to 207 persons with the 2014 Conditional Use Permit approval. The parking requirement for a bar land use is one parking space for every four occupants based on maximum occupant load. Since the building was designed to accommodate more occupants, the proposed increase does not require more parking than originally intended. Furthermore, there are no substantial improvements proposed or expanded building, the Project is not considered development and no coastal development permit is required. 5. A public hearing was held on June 20, 2019, in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and purpose of the hearing was given in accordance 33 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-018 Paqe 2 of 2 with the Ralph M. Brown Act and NBMC Chapter 20.62 (Public Hearings). Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by the Planning Commission at this hearing. SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION. This Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15270 of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3. Projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves are not subject to CEQA review. SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS. In reviewing a conditional use permit ("CUP") for an establishment that sells and serves alcohol, the review authority must make the findings in NBMC Section 20.52.020(F) (Required Findings), as well as the findings in NBMC Subsection 20.48.030(C)(3) (Alcohol Sales). In this case, the Planning Commission has determined the CUP cannot be granted for the following reasons: SECTION 4. DECISION. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby denies Conditional Use Permit No. UP2018-013. 2. This action shall become final and effective 14 days following the date this Resolution was adopted unless within such time an appeal is filed with the City Clerk in accordance with the provisions of NBMC Title 20 Planning and Zoning. PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED THIS 20TH DAY OF JUNE, 2019. AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: BY: Peter Zak, Chairman M Lee Lowrey, Secretary 01-25-19 //II �T Attachment No. PC 3 Applicant's Project Description and Justification S5 3o Community Development Department 100 Civic Center Dr. / P.O. Box 1768, Newport Beach, Ca. 92658-8915 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION RE: The Stag (121 Mc Fadden Place, Newport Beach) Description: The business and property was purchased by Mario Marovic in August 2006. In March of 2014, the property owner and business owner, Mario Marovic was supported by the Newport Beach Police Department, Planning Department, Planning Commission and the community to rehabilitate and remodel a 100 year old building and business. The establishment is called the Stag Bar + Kitchen and Mr. Marovic has developed a stellar track record as a business operator in the city and is constantly trying to find ways to support the community and improve his business in a very competitive market. After four years of operating the Stag Bar + Kitchen, Mr. Marovic met with the city to address two modifications to the Conditional Use Permit. The two modifications include: (1) Allow for a secondary entrance to the building that is currently being used as an exit, and (2) To increase the occupancy to a customer occupancy count of at least 260 persons. Over the past year, Mr. Marovic has been working with the city to receive a recommendation on his requests. His original application proposed an occupancy increase for 321 persons. At that time, he proposed no changes to existing hours of operations (6:00 a.m. - 2:00 a.m. with no restrictions to the hours). And no additions to the existing 56 conditions that were placed on the property in 2014. Also, Mr. Marovic did not anticipate that the city would require the business to have fire sprinklers installed. After meeting with the city and the police department, Mr. Marovic offered to decrease the occupancy count to 290 persons and alter the hours of operation so that after 1:15 a.m., customers can no longer enter the establishment and a "last calf' would occur at 1:30 a.m. The purpose of this was twofold. First it would allow a 45 minute window for their customers to gradually leave the Stag Bar, avoiding a large number of patrons abruptly exiting the establishment at 2:00 a.m. Secondly, it would stop the concern of patrons rushing to the Stag Bar after they have left nearby establishments that close at 1:30 a.m. Due to the second proposal by Mr. Marovic not being satisfactory for a recommendation by the planning department, he continued to work with the city and police department to find a better 37 solution. After a year of discussion, Mr. Marovic is hoping he has found a compromise that benefits the community and the Stag bar. Justification: Currently, the establishment has an abundance of room and the code permits for additional occupancy. However, upon entering into the establishment, there is a long and narrow area that opens up about 40 feet past the entrance. Because the Stag has only one entry point, it results in congestion of customers in that specific location near the entrance. This issue would be resolved by allowing the establishment to utilize the door along the patio as an additional entrance during peak hours. The secondary entrance would create better traffic flow and smoother operations for the owner to serve and monitor its customers. Mr. Marovic is requesting for the establishment to hold an increased occupancy count. The current occupancy count is significantly less than what the code permits, which results in unnecessary que lines outside of the property, loss of business to the Stag and loss of sales tax for the city of Newport Beach. There are a number of reasons why approval of the application would be a great improvement for the Stag's business and the community who is already showing a desire to visit the establishment. Some of these reasons include: Safer Building: The building will immediately become safer because the city has stated the increase will require meeting the current fire/life safety building code. Hours of Operation: The Stag currently does not have any restrictions to it's hours of operations. Mr. Marovic would agree to alter the hours of operation to include an "exit only" policy after 1:00 a.m. so the business will no longer allow additional/new customers into the establishment. There will also be a 1:30 a.m. "last call" This will result in a long period for their customers to gradually leave the Stag Bar, creating a natural attrition of customers by 2:00 a.m. and avoid concerns for a large number of patrons abruptly exiting at 2:00 a.m. Secondly, it would prohibit the issue of patrons rushing to the Stag Bar after they have left nearby establishments that close at 1:00 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. NOTE: To our knowledge, this would be the only bar on the Peninsula that would have a "exit only" policy at a certain time for their establishment. Requirement of Security Guard: The Stag would take on a condition in the CUP for a requirement of one security person for every 50 persons in the building during peak late night hours. ON Requirement of Camera Video Surveillance System: The stag would also take on another condition in the CUP for a requirement of a 16 camera video surveillance system that covers the interior and exterior areas. Including queuing and designated smoking areas. Whenever the surveillance can be helpful, The Stag has in the past and will continue to be more than willing to turn over any video footage to the Newport Beach Police department. S9 40 Attachment No. PC 4 Police Department Memorandum KIM 42 NEWPORT BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT DETECTIVE DIVISION MEMORANDUM TO: Benjamin Zdeba, Associate Planner FROM: Wendy Joe, Police Civilian Investigator DATE: June 12, 2019 SUBJECT: The Stag 121 McFadden Place Use Permit No. 2018-013 (PA2018-196) OL2018-002 At your request, the Police Department has reviewed the project application for The Stag, located at 121 McFadden Place, Newport Beach. Per the project description, the applicant is seeking to amend their Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to increase the occupancy in the establishment to 260 persons from 207 persons, or 53 persons. Should this CUP amendment be approved, the existing Operator License will require an update. Statistical Data and Public Convenience or Necessity Attached is a summary report compiled by Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) Crime Analyst, Kristi Kondo, which provides detailed statistical information related to alcohol establishments and calls for service in and around the applicant's current place of business at 121 McFadden Place. Crime Statistics The Police Department divides the City into areas referred to as Reporting Districts. This allows the Police Department to compile statistical data, as well as better communicate officer locations while policing. The proposed applicant location is within Reporting District (RD) 15 which stretches from 201" Street to 371 Street along the Newport Beach Peninsula. Per Business and Professions Code §23958.4, the Police Department is required to report offenses of criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, theft, and motor vehicle theft (all Part I crimes), combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors (except traffic citations) to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). These figures make up the "Crime Count" which is indicated on the attached statistical data form. RD 15 is our highest crime area in Newport Beach with significant quality -of -life concerns for the residents, as well as the Police Department. This reporting district is reported to ABC as a high crime area as compared to other reporting districts in the City. The RD's Crime Count is 706, 408% over the City-wide crime count average of 134. Since this area has a 20% greater number of reported crimes than the average number of reported crimes as determined from all crime reporting districts within the City, the area is found to have undue concentration. In comparison, iM The Stag U P2018-013 neighboring RD 13 (91' Street to 20t" Street) is 94% above the City-wide average, RD 24 (West Newport) is 161% higher, and RD 25 (West Mariner's Mile) is 52% higher. Of 38 reporting districts in Newport Beach, we reported 12 to ABC as high crime areas. The highest volume crime in this area is simple assault, which may be indicative of an overconsumption of alcohol. 37% of the arrests were for public intoxication, DUI, or liquor law violations. The highest volume arrest in the area is Public Intoxication. Alcohol License Statistics: The applicant premise is located within census tract 0635.00. This census tract has an approximate population of 5,726 residents with 90 active alcohol licenses and 74 licensed establishments. That is a per capita ratio of 1 license for every 64 residents. Per the Business and Professions code, we must compare this per capita ratio to Orange County's on -sale per capita ratio of 1 license for every 467 residents. Since the area's ratio exceeds the ratio of retail licenses to population in the county, the area is deemed to have an undue concentration of alcohol licenses. Calls for Service: In 2018 between the hours of 1:30 a.m. and 3:00 a.m., officers in RD 15 responded to 519 calls for service. The highest volume dispatch events were "Disturbance", "Drunk in Public", and "Physical Fight". To put the 51.9 number in perspective, we compare it to other "destination" areas in the City for the same time period: Officers responded to 271 calls for service in RD 39 which covers Fashion Island, and 249 calls for service in RD 44 which covers Corona Del Mar. RD15 is 52% higher than the Fashion Island area and 48% higher than Corona Del Mar area. Discussion and Recommendations The Police Department ultimately refers all matters of occupancy to the Building Department and Fire Department within the City. However, we have provided the above information so the Planning Commission has the opportunity to consider public safety when deciding if an increase in occupancy is appropriate for this bar. The primary concern with this application is the establishment's location and the potential impacts to the community. There are 22 ABC Establishments within the McFadden Square area from the Pier to 23`o Street. This particular area of RD 15 is significantly over saturated with ABC establishments. Each weekend, several officers must post in the McFadden Square parking lot at bar closing to monitor the intoxicated individuals that exit the restaurants and bars. Increasing the occupancy load for the Stag Bar may contribute to an increase in crime and a decrease in the quality of life for residents and visitors in this area, especially since this is an already difficult area to police and keep safe. The Stag Bar owner, Mario Marovic, is aware of the challenges for law enforcement in this area. Per Mr. Marovic's application, he intends to close his doors to new customers at 1:00 a.m. and improve security. We appreciate that Mr. Marovic acknowledges the potential public safety The Stag U P2018-013 implications of this large occupancy increase and we commend him on his attempt to mitigate those issues in his proposal. The Police Department shares a positive working relationship with the applicant. Mr. Marovic is a leader within the Bar and Tavern Association and promotes communication amongst business owners and the Police Department. He owns several establishments in the area and as such, the Police Department has conducted many operations targeting underage drinking and over consumption in cooperation with Mr. Marovic. In addition, Mr. Marovic imposes an effective security plan and ensures his security personnel are well -trained. The Police Department is of the opinion that an increase in occupancy could be justified provided the applicant's proposed condition not to admit any new customers after 1:00 a.m. is imposed and a security guard is added during peak hours. Currently, a neighboring bar closes at 1:30 a.m. Numerous bar patrons rush across the parking lot to the Stag Bar at 1:30 a.m. in order to make last call and extend their evening to 2:00 a.m. when the stag Bar closes. Those patrons wait in line at the Stag Bar where fights and assaults amongst intoxicated individuals occur. Approving an increase in occupancy may be a justified concession because it would afford us the opportunity to impose the 1:00 a.m. door closing condition which may eliminate the 1:30 a.m. rush and late night lines in front of the Stag Bar. For reference, Nobu and LeZinque also have a similar conditions prohibiting no new customers after a specific time. This condition is consistent with other use permits in the area. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Should this application be approved, the Police Department requests conditions 32 through 42 on the use permit remain (refer page 11) with the below changes. We request condition 13 to be updated to read: ■ The hours of operation for the eating and drinking establishment including the outdoor patio area shall be limited between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m., daily. The doors shall be closed to new customers one hour prior to the closing hour and last call for alcoholic beverages shall occur one half hour prior to the closing hour of the restaurant.

April 30, 2019 Mr. Mario Marovic LOUNGE GROUP 121 McFadden Place Newport Beach, CA 92663 Subject: The Stag Bar and Kitchen Parking and Patron Survey, City of Newport Beach Dear Mr. Marovic: Introduction traffic engineering & design transportation planning parking acoustical engineering air quality & ghg RK ENGINEERING GROUP, INC. (RK) is pleased to provide a parking and patron survey for the Stag Bar and Kitchen. The project is located at 121 McFadden Place in the City of Newport Beach. The location map is provided in Exhibit A. The project has been in operation since 2013. The restaurant serves casual American style food and includes a bar which includes local craft beer, cocktails, wine, etc. The operating hours of the use are Monday— Friday 1 1 AM to 2AM and Saturday— Sunday 9AM to 2AM. Based on information provided by representatives of the project, the peak number of patrons typically occurs from 11:00 PM to 1:30 AM on both Friday and Saturday evenings. During peak times, it is common for more than 50 customers to form a line outside and wait to enter the Stag Bar and Kitchen. Also, at this time, many of the local retailers and attractions have closed. As a result, the project lends itself to a shared parking concept because its peak hours are not in conflict with uses that peak at other times of the day. Therefore the overall parking demand is reduced. It should be noted that RK previously provided "The Stag Bar and Grill Parking Review" document dated December 9, 2013 to the City of Newport Beach to determine the parking ramifications of the proposed project. At this time, a "Mode of Transit" survey was conducted in order to determine the methods of transportation patrons utilized to arrive and depart at the site. The results of the survey indicated that approximately 70% of Stag Bar and Kitchen patrons utilized an alternative transportation method (Uber, Lyft, taxi, walk, bicycle, etc.) and did not park a vehicle to arrive at the site. Based on information provided by representatives of the project, the maximum occupancy of the Stag Bar and Kitchen is approximately 300 persons. However, when the use was approved by the City of Newport Beach, the Stag Bar and Kitchen was conditioned to have 4000 westerly place, ste. 280 newport beach, ca 92660 M474-0809 rkengineeccom a maximum occupancy of 207 persons. The applicant is now seeking to expand the total occupancy to 260 persons which represents a 57 patron increase. (The applicant is seeking the increase primarily because as previously mentioned; it is common for more than 50 customers to form a line outside of the building to get into the restaurant during peak operating times.). Therefore, if they drove a vehicle to the site they are already parked in the surrounding parking lots. It should be noted that the project will not increase in size and will not change from its existing use. The only change is the proposed occupancy increase. Scope of Work and Objectives As a result of the proposed occupancy expansion, the City of Newport Beach is requesting an updated parking "Mode of Transit Survey" and an observed parking count during a typical Friday evening from 5PM to 2AM at one hour intervals within the public parking area in proximity of the Stag Bar and Kitchen. The primary objective of the review is to determine if the increase of patron occupancy will have a negative impact on the public parking areas near the project site. Prior to initiating the analysis, the scope of work for the parking review was discussed with Mr. Benjamin Zdeba (City of Newport Beach, Associate Planner). Location and Modal Options The project is located within walking distance to dozens of retail, commercial, restaurant, bar, tourist attractions, etc. Metered public parking is provided and is generally shared globally with other tenants in the area. Additionally the location of the development is convenient for pedestrian, public transit and bicycle traffic during all times of the year. These modes of transit reduce the parking demand for the project. The peak parking demand for this location typically occurs during June, July, and August. Due to the many destinations in the area and the availability of public parking, noncaptive parking is very common. Noncaptive parking occurs when visitors or employees are already parked and visit more than one destination. For example, a visitor can dine at a restaurant and then choose to shop at a retail store or grab an ice cream. Therefore, there is not an additional parking demand being generated by each visit to each use. Furthermore, based on an article published by the Orange County Register in December of 2017, "New Year's Eve Ridesharing: Uber and Lyft say these are the most popular bars and restaurants in Orange County 2017" the Stag Bar and Kitchen was listed as the top location for drop-offs and pick-ups by Uber and Lyft. This data also supports the 2013 Mode of Transit Survey that indicated that 70% of patrons arrived at the Stag Bar and Kitchen utilizing an alternative mode of transportation instead of driving their own vehicle. Utilizing transit options like Uber and Lyft eliminate the need for parking a vehicle. As a result, it reduces the overall parking demand in the local parking areas. rmorr- engineering LLL group, inc. rkengineei.L, - 2 50 A copy of the Orange County Register article is available in Appendix A. "Mode of Transit" Survey High volumes of pedestrian, Uber / Lyft, and bicycle activity are common for this location and therefore reduce the parking demand for the project. In order to determine the modal options utilized by patrons, a survey was conducted on Friday, April 26 and Saturday April 27 from 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM. A total of 119 patrons were asked, as they entered the Stag Bar and Kitchen, which mode of transportation was utilized to travel to the site. The options were: 1. Individually Drive (Self -Park) 2. Bicycle 3. Taxi / Uber/ Lyft 4. Walk 5. Miscellaneous (Public Transit) Date of Survey Modes of Transportation Utilized Parked Vehicle Bike Taxi / Uber / Lyft Walk Misc Total Friday, April 26, 2019 Recorded Data Points 6° 4° 211 4° 0 35° Percentage of Total 17 /° 1 1 /° 60 /° 1 1 /° 0 /° 100 /° Saturday, April 27, 2019 Recorded Data Points 10 1 70 3 0 84 Percentage of Total 12% 1 % 83% 4% 0% 100% Grand Total Recorded Data Points 16 5 91 7 0 119 Percentage of Total 1 13% 1 4% 76% 1 6% Survey Findings 2019 Survey • The results of the mode of transit survey concluded that just 13% of the patrons drove an individual car and parked near the Stag Bar and Kitchen. As a result, 103 non- parkers or (87%) utilized an alternative mode of transportation (bicycle, taxi / Uber/ Lyft, walk, and miscellaneous). The highest modal use recorded was Uber or Lyft which represented 76% of all patrons surveyed. 2019 Compared to 2013 Survey When comparing the results of the 2019 survey to the results of the 2013 survey, it can be determined that Uber and Lyft use has significantly increased by 58%. Also, the percentage of patrons parking onsite has been reduced by 17%. rmorr- engineering LLL group,inc. rkengineej.L, - 3 57 Based on the results of the transit survey, approximately 87% of the visitors are utilizing alternative modes of transportation and not driving and parking vehicles at the site. Therefore, it can be concluded that given the high demand of non-parkers at the site, the proposed occupancy increase will have a nominal impact on parking in the surrounding areas. The results of the 2019 and 2013 patron surveys are provided in Appendix B. Observed Parking Demand Survey Actual observed parking demand counts were conducted within a reasonable walking distance to the Stag Bar and Kitchen on Friday, April, 26 2019 from 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM at one hour intervals. The public metered parking spaces serve dozens of restaurants, bars, retail stores, tourist destinations etc. within the area. The study area is indicated in Exhibit B and consists of approximately 272 metered public parking spaces. The table below identifies the hourly parking demand within the study area. Observed Parking Demand Counts Friday, April 26 2019 Parking Inventory 272 Number of Occupied Parking Spaces within Study Area Percent Occupied 5:00 PM 228 84% 6:00 PM 231 86% 7:00 PM 252 93% 8:00 PM 238 88% 9:00 PM 225 83% 10:00 PM 239 89% 11:00 PM 222 92% 12:00 AM 231 86% 1:00 AM 195 n% 2:00 AM 103 39% Based on the results of the observed parking survey, the peak parking demand occurred at 7:00 PM when a total of 252 cars were parked within the study area. As a result, the parking lot was 93% occupied at this time. R?r engineering UL -. group, inc. rkengineui.o:. 112 58 It should be noted that the peak operating hours of the Stag Bar and Kitchen typically occur from 11 PM to close. As indicated in the parking survey, there are sufficient parking spaces available during these hours. It is also worth noting that at this time, it is common for more than 50 customers to form a queue outside of the Stag Bar and Kitchen to get in. Therefore, the parking demands of the patrons that have opted to park their own vehicles onsite and are waiting in line are already included in the observed parking survey. Conclusion Based on the data collected via the Mode of Transit Survey and the observed parking survey, it is anticipated that the occupancy expansion to 260 persons will not have a negative impact on the public parking areas near the project site. The number of patrons utilizing Uber/Lyft and other alternative modes of transit besides a single occupancy vehicle has increased by 17% since the 2013 survey. Furthermore, the observed parking survey concluded that there are adequate parking spaces available during the peak occupancy times of the Stag Bar and Kitchen.

The applicant's proposal to reduce the allowed daily hours of operation from 6 a.m.-2 a.m. to 6 a.m.-1:30 a.m. does not address or mitigate the additional required 13 parking spaces. In fact, with an additional occupant load of 53 persons we can anticipate more than 13 additional vehicles trying to find parking in an already congested area. The Newport Pier area has a severe parking shortage and traffic congestion during many months of the year (not just summer). Also, the Newport Pier area has the highest crime rates and alcohol -related disturbances in the City of Newport Beach. Independent of how good the establishment operator is, all those challenges will be exacerbated by the applicant's proposal and will impose additional service demands on our NBPD. Demands that will keep law enforcement officers away from addressing crime/traffic issues in the rest of the city. Once again I am asking you to deny the subject proposal. Sincerely, Carmen Rawson 97 From: Lee, David Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2019 7:55 AM To: Zdeba, Benjamin Subject: FW: Planning Commission Hearing June 20 re Stag Bar -For the Public Record From: Denys Oberman <dho@obermanassociates.com> Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2019 5:52 AM To: Zak, Peter <pzak@newportbeachca.gov>; Weigand, Erik <eweigand@newportbeachca.gov> Cc: Lee, David <dlee@newportbeachca.gov>; Dixon, Diane <ddixon@newportbeachca.gov>; Ken & Carmen Rawson <ckrawson@att.net>; Fred Levine <fred ric.mark.levine@gmail.com> Subject: Planning Commission Hearing June 20 re Stag Bar -For the Public Record Planning Commissioners: I am a resident living on West Oceanfront, and have long been active in community affairs. The issue of bar -related safety and nuisances is a significant one for our Community. We understand that Stag Bar has made application to increase its Occupancy and concurrently request a concession in Parking requirements. We do appreciate the Applicant's proposal to reduce operating hours ,which on its face may appear to be "compromise". However, it is transparent that this in combination with the proposed increase in Occupancy will not contribute to any potential reduction in the operator's business. There is already a severe parking restriction in the commercial area. The parking has already spilled into the residential areas going up and down the Penninsula—as has the middle of the night loud and unruly disturbance. Residents have been told repeatedly by the City and the Police Department that it does not have the resources to respond to or further manage the continuing Adverse Impacts of the drunk and disorderly in the Community. We respectfully request that the Commission Deny the Applicant the additional Occupancy or the Parking requirement waiver/variance. Thank you for your consideration. Denys Oberman and David Sherbeck West Oceanfront property owners and residents. ( NOTE- PLEASE DISREGARD SIGNATURE AND CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE BELOW.)

The Bars and restaurants around the Newport Pier already put stress on available parking for residents in the area. Allowing the Stag Bar to increase occupancy by 25% with no additional parking (and minimal increase in sq. footage) does not make sense to me or my fellow homeowners. In addition, the noise and disruption of bar patrons returning to their cars after closing time is a constant problem. Another 50+ drunks or cars coming down the alley is not something I look forward to.

Allowing the Stag Bar to increase occupancy by 25% with no additional parking (and minimal increase in sq. footage) does not make sense for the homeowners on the Peninsula. In addition, the noise and disruption of bar patrons returning to their cars after closing time is a constant problem. Another 50+ drunks coming down the alley is not something I'm looking forward to.

The issue of bar -related safety and nuisances is a significant one for our Community. We understand that Stag Bar has made application to increase its Occupancy and concurrently request a concession in Parking requirements. We do appreciate the Applicant's proposal to reduce operating hours ,which on its face may appear to be "compromise". However, it is transparent that this in combination with the proposed increase in Occupancy will not contribute to any potential reduction in the operator's business. There is already a severe parking restriction in the commercial area. The parking has already spilled into the residential areas going up and down the Penninsula—as has the middle of the night loud and unruly disturbance. Residents have been told repeatedly by the City and the Police Department that it does not have the resources to respond to or further manage the continuing Adverse Impacts of the drunk and disorderly in the Community. We respectfully request that the Commission Deny the Applicant the additional Occupancy or the Parking requirement waiver/variance. Thank you for your consideration. Denys Oberman and David Sherbeck West Oceanfront property owners and residents. ( NOTE- PLEASE DISREGARD SIGNATURE AND CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE BELOW.)

I am writing because I believe it is crucial to preserve the character of a city. One of the greatest parts of the Newport Beach Peninsula is that it is an amazing place to "live, work and play." My neighbors and friends moved here, well aware of the fun and lively atmosphere on Peninsula. In fact, most of us moved here because of it! Our community thinks the police department does a phenomenal job of keeping the area safe and the businesses do an incredible job of keeping the area fun. We do not want the Peninsula to change and we want to keep great places like The Stag Bar + Kitchen in business! I have reviewed the upcoming Planning Commission Agenda and respectfully ask that you vote to approve the Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196). More people should be able to enjoy the Stag Bar + Kitchen if it meets the standard safety code requirements. Your approval will help ensure the community's character stays in tact by making the Peninsula a safe location where we can live, work and play.

I have read the staff report and believe this is a great application that is worthy of your approval. Being a frequent visitor to the Newport Beach pier area, I agree with the city that parking should not be an issue of concern. As the report states, "peak parking demands" for bars are in the evening and not during the day. Additionally, many customers are like me and they do not even use the parking lot because they walk, bike or take an Uber to visit places like the Stag bar. Your approval will allow more people to enjoy the fun and welcoming ambiance of the Stag Bar. The patrons are already down on the Peninsula and having to wait in lines or visit a less enjoyable establishment. The Planning Commission should approve the increase and want those patrons to be visiting the Stag Bar because it will place them in a contained environment that has an operator license. Approval will also result in a safer building for Newport Beach residents and visitors. Additionally, the staff report mentions the Police Department has a "positive working relationship" with the operator. Denying the project would discourage operators from doing business in our city. By approving the project, you will be encouraging good operators to do business in the city of Newport Beach. For all of these reasons and many more, I respectfully ask that you support the project.

I am a retired police captain for the City of Fullerton. I am confident the Planning Commission has far greater knowledge than I when it comes to contemporary issues in Newport Beach's nighttime entertainment districts and the community as a whole. I have no input into the method or manner through which you implement your City's strategic plan. My purpose is to offer some insight into my professional experience working with Mr. Marovic. Hopefully my comments will help you make the best and most well-informed decision on this matter. Some background: By the middle of the year 2000 Fullerton's Downtown had become a significant drain on City resources. The area had the highest percentage ABC licenses per city block in Southern California. The number of first-time restaurant owners was very high. The majority of restaurants, many of which made discount alcohol sales the priority, competed for a finite number of patrons which propelled irresponsible business practices. The City began a strong effort to take control of established businesses and impose significant operating requirements on new operations. At about that time Mr. Marovic took ownership of one of the City's most problematic nighttime businesses. This particular establishment had a disproportionately high association with crime and disorder. I met with Mr. Marovic regarding his business plan. He was open to recommendations and strong in his conviction to operate the business in compliance with legal and City expectations. Frankly, I did not believe he would be able to meet the expectations he himself had set forth. Over the next few months and subsequent years, Mr. Marovic completely reversed the course of the business and it became one of Downtown Fullerton's most successful restaurants. He was successful because he implemented a plan based on collaboration and a commitment to all stakeholders. He was receptive to the conditions imposed upon him at the time he began operations, demonstrated compliance in the administration of his business plan, and, when appropriate, sought modifications to his operations in the furtherance of his strategic plan. Heremains a leader amongst his colleagues in the Downtown Fullerton nighttime entertainment district. During my years in Fullerton, more specifically during my years working with the community, business owners, City staff and populations of visitors patronizing Downtown establishments, I have worked with many business owners. Mr. Marovic is one of the most competent and capable owners I have worked with. His business acumen is among the best I have seen. His decisions are founded in reason and prudence. He undersells and overdelivers. Heis a dedicated and significant contributor to his business community. I am neither a resident or business owner in Newport Beach. I do however have firsthand experience when city planning efforts succeed and when they fail. The character of the business owner is a critical factor in determining the likelihood of a successful business plan or a modification to conditions. Having trust and confidence in your business operators is paramount in your decision -making process. I offer this perspective on Mr. Marovic to validate what I suspect is the opinion you already hold. Respectfully, Greg Mayes Planning Commission - June 20, 2019 Item No. 3b Additional Materials Received Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) From: Troy Phillips <soundsgoodtroy@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, June 17, 2019 10:15 PM To: Zdeba, Benjamin; Planning Commissioners Subject: Stage bar +kitchen Members of the Newport Beach Planning Commission, My name is Troy Phillips and I am a 50 year old resident and business owner of the Newport Beach Peninsula. I live approximately 200 feet away from the Stag Kitchen + Bar in McFadden Square. I have lived in this community for many years and I have seen the area change for the better since Mr. Marovic began investing in the businesses and properties on the Peninsula. As one of the most highly impacted residents of the project, I request that the Planning Commission support the proposed project to increase the occupancy at the Stag Bar. The request to increase the occupancy to what is legally allowed is a reasonable request. The city should reward good operators with accommodating a reasonable request. Parking will not be impacted since the additional occupancy will accommodate customers that are already in the area. Over the last five years, the Stag has shown to be a huge improvement to the area. Before it's expansion in 2014, it had a liquor store next to the establishment and it attracted a bad crowd that was not good for the community (I would frequently see visitors purchase liquor and bring it to the beach). Since the Stag Bar was expanded, has become a great spot to visit and I hope the Planning Commission will allow more people to enjoy the establishment! I strongly urge the Commission's support.

I have read the staff report and believe this is a great application that is worthy of your approval. Being a frequent visitor to the Newport Beach pier area, I agree with the city that parking should not be an issue of concern. As the report states, "peak parking demands" for bars are in the evening and not during the day. Additionally, many customers are like me and they do not even use the parking lot because they walk, bike or take an Uber to visit places like the Stag bar. Your approval will allow more people to enjoy the fun and welcoming ambiance of the Stag Bar. The patrons are already down on the Peninsula and having to wait in lines or visit a less enjoyable establishment. The Planning Commission should approve the increase and want those patrons to be visiting the Stag Bar because it will place them in a contained environment that has an operator license. Approval will also result in a safer building for Newport Beach residents and visitors. Additionally, the staff report mentions the Police Department has a "positive working relationship" with the operator. Denying the project would discourage operators from doing business in our city. By approving the project, you will be encouraging good operators to do business in the city of Newport Beach. For all these reasons and many more, I respectfully ask that you support the project.

It was a delight to see Stag Bar restored to such a great restaurant and bar. It offers the community a great place to gather with friends and family to enjoy food and drinks so close to the pier and beach. I was happy to seethe owner invest so much into the future of the location. I support the increased occupancy because it meets all the health and safety standards. More people should be able to enjoy Stag Bar. It is my wish to have more establishments on the peninsula invest into the long-term future. This includes giving the owner the right to have a safe number of occupants patronize their businesses. Please support the occupant load increase for Stag Bar.

Similar to my neighbors, I moved to this area because of the close and fun environment the Balboa Peninsula offers. After reviewing the project report, I am in full support of this project. It will help the business and adds an additional security guard on weekend nights! The staff and security at the Stag do a great job and they are always polite, kind and professional. I am excited for another to be added to the team. Over the last five years, the Stag has shown to be a huge improvement to the area.

Please support the occupancy increase at the Stag Bar. I work in commercial real estate for CBRE as an investment property advisor for retail properties along the coast. I have firsthand experience in seeing the effort it takes to make a profit in real estate for a restaurant and bar operator. This is especially true with the high costs of land in the City of Newport Beach. Knowing this, I believe the city should make it easier for a landowner and business owner to succeed and not more difficult. It is my understanding from past city council hearings that the owner of the Stag Bar+ Kitchen is the "gold standard" for an operator. I also understand the building code allows for a significantly higher occupancy than what is being proposed. Additionally, the Police Department has no objection to application. If an occupancy increase will help this operator, the code allows it, and staff and police recommend it, then supporting this project should be seen as an obvious move for the betterment of the community. I hope the commission will join me and all of the others by supporting this project! Thank you.

As a business owner of a restaurant and bar for over 35 years (Newport Rib Company, Pipeline snack shop, Naples rib Company) and a property owner in and around the Stag Bar for 40 years (2200 W Oceanfront, 2010 W Oceanfront and the Bluewater grill property) it certainly has a unique spot when we look at a proposal such as this. It's so easy to simply say no to anything increasing a "bars" occupancy in this day and age. After all aren't, we the bad guys ... right? The fact that we provide jobs and a decent living for many employees in the industry is often over looked. The Stag provides a safe environment for many to eat and drink, this is not the case for many other establishments on the peninsula. This industry is not an easy one to be successful. We are in a good economy now and it's still not easy. We are due for a downturn in the near future and even well -run establishments will have difficulty surviving. It is establishments like Stag (and Mario's other ventures) who go the extra mile to do business the right way (at his own expense). Business owners such as these should be rewarded for efforts to run their business the right way. Security, ID checks, constant supervision....... all these things cost the owners $$ but Mario and his establishments go the extra mile, spend the extra $ and do things the right way. When you get a business owner who does things the right way and they ask for a legal Favor for something like this....... you give it. Be thankful we have business people in our area who aren't afraid to do the right things, spend the money in order to be good neighbors. I strongly urge the planning commission to allow for the increased occupancy. I am quite confident Mario and his establishment will not let you down.

I have worked at Lyon studios,Across Balboa Blvd. from The Stag for 20 years. I have lived in the same are for the last 8years. I have lived in the surrounding communities for most of my life and I am a graduate of Newport Harbor High School, so i am a local. I remember what The Stag was like before Mario Marovic bought it, cleaned it up and changed to The District Lounge. I was a filthy Place, full of drugs and a place where a fight could break out at any moment. Mario cleaned it up and turned it into a place that was fun and safe for locales and out of towners alike. He has since returned it to its original namesake,embraced and promoted its history in Newport Beach, as well as the general history of Newport beach on the peninsula itself. I am looking forward to the occupancy increase because it will have a direct impact on me. I frequently visit the establishments on the Peninsula with colleagues and friends for a meal after work or for a fun time on the weekends. My friends and I are excited for the increase because it will decrease the waiting time at our favorite spot, the Stag Bar + Kitchen. The building can clearly handle the additional occupancy and it would allow for more people to enjoy their evening in a safe and contained environment! I understand that one of the factors in occupancy is parking but if you consider the fact that a large percentage of the people coming to visit The Stag Bar and Kitchen are locales like me, Parking isn't a concern. I only live a couple hundred feet from The Stag, so i walk or bike over, as do a large percentage of the patrons. So parking shouldn't be affected or really be an issue in the occupancy increase. I hope the commission will support this project! Thank you.

Living on the peninsula, I think we sometimes take for granted the variety and quality of bars and restaurants we have within walkingibiking distance, and I think we should support the ones that are good members of the community. Stag Bar is such an establishment; it is well known as a great place to meet local friends and also draws many out of town visitors to the peninsula. Its owner is also a Newport resident and strong supporter of the community. I respectfully request that you support the occupancy increase for Stag Bar. Thank you for your time.

Subject: Stag Bar Occupancy Dear Mr Zdeba and Commissioners, I'm writing this letter in support of the Stag Bar increase of occupancy. I have read the staff report and from what I see there is not much reason to not approve this. Moreover Mario has been doing business in our city for a lot of years now. I have either lived or owned a business on the peninsula during his career in the area. I'm thankful for the responsible decisions that he's made, and his operations have been many of the reasons that the Newport Beach Peninsula has been on a serious upswing for years. He's paved the way for younger operators like myself to be successful in Newport Beach.

My name is Troy Barton, I moved to Newport Beach two years ago. It is an amazing community, and my wife and I truly love every aspect of living here! We live on Iris Avenue in Corona Del Mar. As a family who lives and works in Newport, one of our favorite things about living here is we never have to go far to find a relaxing, enjoyable, and safe experience. One of the best examples of this is visiting the Stag Bar + Kitchen. The Stag Bar is a favorite spot for me and my wife to go on our days off. We walk the boardwalk and the Stag is always our destination. The atmosphere is friendly and and the food is amazing! In my many visits to this historic establishment, we have made many new friends and made a great many fond memories. I have never felt unsafe, and with the added security the proposed occupancy increase details, I will only feel safer! The building very clearly can hold a much higher occupancy, and while it is worth the wait in line, a shorter line due to the increase would only increase myself and others' enjoyment! It is my hope that the commission will consider my opinion and support this project. Sincerely, Troy Barton Planning Commission - June 20, 2019 Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) From: Hochner, David <dhochner@rutan.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2019 6:28 PM To: Zdeba, Benjamin Cc: Planning Commissioners Subject: Stag Bar+ Kitchen Dear Mr. Zdeba and Members of the Newport Beach Planning Commission: I am writing in support of the request by Stag Bar+ Kitchen to increase its occupancy limit. I have lived in the Bay Knolls area of Newport Beach since 1992. 1 thus do not live in the vicinity of Stag Bar+ Kitchen, but I have been to Stag Bar+ Kitchen and other restaurants and bars in the area many times over the past several years. Stag Bar+ Kitchen is a long-standing business establishment that appears to me to be run effectively. The place is spacious, and although I have not reviewed any formal information on how many people might be present at Stag Bar+ Kitchen at any particular times, from what I have seen, I believe the space could comfortably hold more people, even at peak times. I have noticed, for example, that even when there is a line of patrons waiting to get in, Stag Bar+ Kitchen could comfortably hold more people. And then if more people could be let in, that would reduce or eliminate congestion on the sidewalks by Stag Bar+ Kitchen, at least in some instances. Particularly with a long-standing business that is popular with residents and an asset to the business community, I think it is in the City's interests to honor requests of this nature provided, of course, that things like public safety are not jeopardized, which I would suspect would not be jeopardized in this instance. I appreciate this opportunity to present these thoughts for your consideration. Sincerely, David Hochner 2305 Tustin Avenue Newport Beach, CA 92660 P. S. I am sending this from my work email.

Planning Commission - June 20, 2019 Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) From: Steven Darden <dardensteve@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2019 7:40 PM To: Planning Commissioners Subject: Stag bar and kitchen Chairman Zak and Planning Commissioners, As a resident that has lived in the city of Newport Beach for 30 years, I respectfully ask that you approve the Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018- 196). I have read the staff report and believe this is a great application that is worthy of your approval. Being a frequent visitor to the Newport Beach pier area, I agree with the city that parking should not be an issue of concern. As the report states, "peak parking demands" for bars are in the evening and not during the day. Additionally, many customers are like me and they do not even use the parking lot because they walk, bike or take an Uber to visit places like the Stag bar. Your approval will allow more people to enjoy the fun and welcoming ambiance of the Stag Bar. The patrons are already down on the Peninsula and having to wait in lines or visit a less enjoyable establishment. The Planning Commission should approve the increase and want those patrons to be visiting the Stag Bar because it will place them in a contained environment that has an operator license. Approval will also result in a safer building for Newport Beach residents and visitors. Additionally, the staff report mentions the Police Department has a "positive working relationship" with the operator. Denying the project would discourage operators from doing business in our city. By approving the project, you will be encouraging good operators to do business in the city of Newport Beach. For all of these reasons and many more, I respectfully ask that you support the project.I have lived on West Bay Ave for 22 years and have always enjoyed frequenting the restaurants and bars in the Newport Pier area. Planning Commission - June 20, 2019 Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) From: Rush Hill <rush@nrmservice.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2019 1:24 PM To: Zdeba, Benjamin Cc: Planning Commissioners Subject: Stagg Bar+ Kitchen Occupancy Public Hearing To the Newport Beach Planning Commission: I seldom make the effort to comment on projects before the Newport Beach Planning Commission as I have great faith in the study and work of the Commission. I feel the need to make comment on the hearing related to the occupancy loading of the Stag Bar + Kitchen however. There are too many rumors circulating that personal politics are getting in the way of sound and fairjudgment. The Stag Bar + Kitchen is a project owned and operated by an individual that has become known as the "gold standard" in the food and beverage industry. Mario Marovic knows his business and helps others improve their businesses. He understands that the issue of occupancy is an issue of safety and he has reached agreement with staff related to further improving the safety of individuals in the facility with the addition of fire sprinklers. He has agreed to a reduced volume under which the building code allows. Under heavy attendance nights he understands that he can control customers better when inside than when standing in lines on the public side walks. Mario has reached agreement with police and fire for his plan to enhance safety and increase occupancy to a reasonable level which balances with the expense of the additional life safety enhancements. Don't let politics get in the way of this positive request. As a neighbor building owner my business partner Alan Limon and I strongly support the negotiated occupancy increase. The property has not been a burden on the neighborhood, in fact it has improved the conditions that exist in the McFadden area. If approved, this will further enhance the safety of the area and provide for more to enjoy the strong culture of this special Village in Newport Beach.

Specifically I would like to call your attention to the elevated crime district we have for the area we are discussing. They are the highest in Newport Beach and in all of Orange County. It is my understanding that there are 6 additional requests submitted to the city to further increase bar/restaurant loads. We need your help to stop the bar/restaurants occupancy growth in RD 15. Let's stop it right here with this application. My neighbors and I live in the RD15 area, so adjacent to this business area, and for the record it takes A LOT of compromises to live here. What all my immediate neighbors are asking for is to stop the growth ... we will live with what is existing (and all the past waivers given)... BUT PLEASE... PLEASE ...STOP THE GROWTH... FYI, we see this application as adding 53 persons able to go into a new bar .... this is truly like adding another new bar to this area .... It truly is.

Planning Commission - June 20, 2019 Item No. 3g Additional Materials Presented At Meeting Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) Parking Study Restaurant code vs Bar parking code Parking Study shows that parking will not be impacted in any way because potential customers are already in the area. Neither parking, nor traffic will impacted. Our parkin engineer also conducted a survey, and a majority of customers use alternate means of transportation. The Stag will mostly be using the additional capacity when the beach and many small sgops are closed. Parking is not a concern at these times. Our parking survey and city staff agree that this is a shared multi use parking area. Most people that drive to McFadden Square will park and visit the beach and/or multiple uses during the same visit. Planning Commission - June 20, 2019 Item No. 3g Additional Materials Presented At Meeting Stag Bar Occupant Load Increase (PA2018-196) CONCLUSION This is a fair and reasonable proposal.
