EXISTING RESTAURANT WITH A CHANGE OF ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGE LICENSE AND ADJUSTMENT TO OFF-STREET
PARKING REQUIREMENTS LOCATED AT 2108 % WEST
OCEAN FRONT (PA2016-067)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by Dory Deli, with respect to property located at 2108 34 West
Ocean Front, and legally described as Lots 1 and 2 in Block 21 of Newport Beach, in the
City 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, requesting approval of a conditional use permit.
2. The applicant proposes to expand the existing restaurant into the adjacent 475-square-
foot retail tenant space to create new dining area with a bar counter. Also included is a
request to change the existing Type 41 (On Sale Beer and Wine — Eating Place)
Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license to a Type 47 (On Sale General — Eating Place)
ABC license. The applicant is proposing to operate from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., Monday
through Thursday, and 6:00 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. on Friday through Sunday. There will be no
live entertainment or dancing. Pursuant to NBMC 5.25, the operation as described
requires the owner/operator to obtain an operator license with the approval of a
conditional use permit. Also requested is a reduction of the required off-street parking in
conjunction with the proposed expansion.
3. The subject 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 subject property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan
category is Mixed-Use Water Related (MU-W).
5. A public hearing was held on October 6, 2016, in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic
Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was
given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written
and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this
hearing.

SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines under Class 1 (Existing
Facilities).
2. The Class 1 exemption includes the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting,
leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities,
mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion
of use. The proposed project is limited to interior improvements to convert a retail
sales use to an eating and drinking establishment and involves no expansion in floor
area. Further, there will be no traffic impacts associated with the change of use as the
Average Daily Trips (ADT) generation will remain the same.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales), the Planning Commission must make
the following finding for approval of a new alcoholic beverage license:
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:
1. The project has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure that the purpose and intent of
Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the Zoning Code is maintained and that a healthy
environment for residents and businesses is preserved. Alcohol service is intended for
the convenience of customers dining at the restaurant. Operational conditions of
approval recommended by the Police Department relative to the sale of alcoholic
beverages, including the requirement to obtain an operator license, will ensure
compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol related impacts.
2. The proposed project is located within Reporting District (RD) 15, which maintains a
higher crime rate as well as generally more calls for service and alcohol-related arrests
than the adjacent reporting districts. This is largely due to the number of visitors to the
Balboa Peninsula, the higher concentration of restaurants, visitor-serving uses, and
the high ratio of nonresidential to residential uses in RD 15. The operation will remain
a restaurant and is not permitted to operate as a bar, tavern, cocktail lounge, or
nightclub.
3. The subject property is located in an area with a variety of land uses including
commercial, retail, residential, and coastal resources. The business hours and
operational characteristics have been conditioned to maintain the compatibility of the
proposed use with surrounding land uses.
05-26-2016
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2029
Page 3 of 13
4. 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. This location in McFadden Square is centralized among other commercial
establishments and the development is oriented away from any residential units
towards the West Ocean Front Parking Lot. Conditions of approval are included to
further minimize negative impacts to surrounding land uses and to help ensure the use
remains compatible with the surrounding community.
In accordance with Section 20.52.020.F (Use Permit, Required Findings) of the Newport
Beach Municipal Code, 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.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The General Plan land use designation for this site is 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 expanded eating and drinking establishment, which is the primary
occupant of the subject property is consistent with this land use designation. 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. Inasmuch as the proposed application will not result in an increase in the floor area ratio,
the project is consistent with the Land Use Element development limitations.
3. The proposed expansion 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. Expansion of the existing eating and
drinking establishment to include a new dining area with accessory bar counter will
diversify the use and provide an additional 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
expanded establishment will improve and revitalize the existing building and the
surrounding neighborhood.
5. The subject 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.
05-26-2016
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2029
Pa e4of13
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The site is located in the MU-W2 Zoning District. The MU-W2 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 Zoning Code Section 20.38.050 (Nonconforming Uses).
2. A restaurant has been operating at the subject property since 1972. The proposed
expansion will diversify the use by creating additional interior dining area, a service bar
counter, and storage area. The bar counter will also allow the existing kitchen to be
expanded, which will improve the food service component.
3. The subject property does not provide on-site parking, but the proposed expansion is
not anticipated to change the parking demand significantly. 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 and surrounding area.
Finding:
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 to the hours
between 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., Monday through Thursday, and 6:00 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.,
Friday through Sunday. The closing hours are compatible with other late night eating and
drinking establishments in the area.
2. An eating and drinking establishment has been operated in this location since 1972.
3. The floor plan provides an expanded interior dining area with 7 additional seats at the
window facing the West Ocean Front Parking Lot, a service bar counter with 12 seats,
and a new storage area. Live entertainment and dancing are not proposed. The
expanded area was previously occupied by a retail sales tenant.
4. 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 northeast, the building is oriented toward the Newport Pier beach area and West
Ocean Front Parking Lot away from the nearby mixed-use structures. The existing
outdoor dining area is bounded by a wrought iron guardrail. Activity from the
establishment will be buffered from the residential uses across 22"d Street. The
applicant is also required to control trash and litter around the subject property.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 2029

5. 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.
6. The applicant is required to obtain Health Department approval prior to opening the
expanded area for business, and is further required to comply with the California Building
Code to ensure the safety and welfare of customers and employees within the
establishment.
7. The subject 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 day time
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.
8. The proposed 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 Finding:
1 . The project site is located within an existing commercial building. The existing tenant
space is designed and developed for an eating and drinking establishment. The
design, size, location, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood. The existing adjacent tenant space on the subject property
has generally been used by various retail sales uses since construction.
2. Adequate public and emergency vehicle access, public services, and utilities are
provided to the subject property. Any additional utilities upgrades required for the
change in occupancy will be required at plan check and have been included in the
conditions of approval.
3. The tenant improvements to the project site will comply with all Building, Public Works,
and Fire Codes. All ordinances of the City and all conditions of approval will be
complied with.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 2029

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.
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 expanded establishment will provide improved dining and service of alcoholic
beverages as a public convenience to the surrounding neighborhood and visitors to
the area. This will help continue to revitalize the project site and provide an economic
opportunity for the property owner to update the retail tenant and service, which best
serve the quality of life for the surrounding visitor- and local-serving community.
3. The proposed 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 eating and drinking 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 existing outdoor dining area is open on only one side facing westward towards the
Newport Pier beach area and the West Ocean Front Parking Lot.
