WHEREAS, the subject property was originally developed as a restaurant in 1973 prior to the need to obtain a use permit. In 1985, Use Permit No. 3162 was approved to allow an expansion to the existing restaurant. WHEREAS, an amendment to Use Permit No. 3162 is required pursuant to Section 20.82.060 (Changes in Operational Characteristics) of the Municipal Code since the applicant proposes to add live entertainment performing with amplified sound and dancing at the premises. WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on July 7, 2005, in the City Hall Council Chambers, at 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the aforesaid meeting was given. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at this meeting. WHEREAS, the site is designated Administrative, Professional & Financial Commercial by the General Plan Land Use Element and is zoned PC District 11 (Newport Place Planned Community District). Eating and drinking establishments with live entertainment and dancing as accessory activities are conditionally permitted uses. WHEREAS, the location of the existing eating and drinking establishment requiring this Use Permit for live entertainment and dancing, and the proposed conditions under which it will be operated and maintained, is consistent with the General Plan and the purpose of the PC District 11 in which the site is located; will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City for the following reasons: 1. The existing restaurant is located within the airport commercial area and surrounding land uses are dominated by commercial and professional offices. Restaurant uses with dancing and live entertainment can be expected to be found in this and similar locations and are complimentary to the commercial uses. 2. The restaurant site is not located in close proximity to residential districts; and there are no sensitive uses such as residences, day care centers, schools, playgrounds or hospitals located in the close vicinity of the project site. City of Newport Beach Planning Commission Resolution No. Page 2 of 7 3. The restaurant with the accessory live entertainment and dancing has been conditioned to require strict adherence to safety, parking and noise regulations. WHEREAS, the project qualifies for a categorical exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) that allows the operation and alteration of existing facilities with no expansion of use. The addition of live entertainment and dancing with the remodeling of the existing restaurant meets this criteria. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: Section 1.
