PROJECT SUMMARY
A request for Use Permits for two restaurants and a parking waiver with a parking
management plan pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section
20.40.110. The first restaurant would be a 5,204 square-foot, fine dining restaurant with
an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License Type 47 (On-Sale General — Bona Fide
Eating Place). The second restaurant would be a 2,142 square-foot casual dining
restaurant with an ABC License Type 41 (On-Sale Beer and Wine — Bona Fide Eating
Place). Both restaurants would include small outdoor dining areas. No late hours (past
11:00 p.m.), live entertainment or dancing are requested for either restaurant. The
proposed restaurants are within the VUE Newport mixed-use development currently
under construction in the McFadden Square area adjacent to the Crab Cooker.
RECOMMENDATION

INTRODUCTION
Project Setting/ Background
The 2.3-acre project site is located on Newport Harbor within the McFadden Square
area of the Balboa Peninsula between Woody's Wharf and the Crab Cooker. The site is
currently under construction with a mixed-use development called "VUE Newport" that
consists of 27 residential units, a 19-slip marina with short-term small boat mooring, and
approximately 35,335 square feet of retail and office uses. The property is designed
with a 156-space subterranean parking garage with three building levels above. The
podium level above the subterranean parking garage is designed for retail or office use,
a central public plaza that provides physical and visual access to the waterfront, and a
total of 80 parking spaces (54 garage spaces, 10 office parking spaces, 14 tandem
office and employee covered parking spaces plus 2 commercial loading spaces). The
levels above the commercial spaces are residential with the exception of Building C,
located on the far eastern portion of the site, which is all commercial.
Surrounding land uses include Woody's Wharf, American Junkie and Balboa Boat Yard
to the north; The Crab Cooker, South Coast Ship Yard, The Spaghetti Factory, and 22nd
Street to the south; Newport Bay and the Lido Peninsula to the east; and several retail,
bars, restaurants, a small hotel and residential uses to the west across Newport
Boulevard and the public parking lot in McFadden Square. Low density residential uses
are located approximately 150 feet to the east of the site along 22nd Street. The project
site is within walking distance of the West Ocean Front 260-space public parking lot and
the McFadden Square 137-space public lot. Additionally, there is a 60-space public
parking lot across the street between Newport Boulevard and Balboa Boulevard.
Project Description
The applicant requests to convert approximately 7,346 square feet of planned
office/retail space into two restaurants to be located on the podium level of the mixed-
use development. The larger of the two restaurants would be a 5,204 square-foot, full-
service "fine-dining" restaurant which will be similar to The Cannery, Bluewater Grill and
Bandera in Newport Beach. The tentative operator for this restaurant is Prego
Ristorante. The proposed location is on the lower level of Building C, which is a two-
story commercial building at the southeast end of the project site on The Arcade Street
adjacent to the South Coast Shipyard. The second restaurant would be a 2,142 square-
foot, casual-dining restaurant similar to Pieology, MOD Pizza, Burger Lounge or
HopDoddy Burger Bar. The tentative operator for this restaurant is Pizza Press. The
proposed location of this use would be on the street level in Building A, which is the
most northerly building facing Newport Boulevard near Woody's Wharf. The outdoor
patio could be between the building and the street or within the public plaza that is
central to the overall project.
No late hours, live entertainment or dancing are proposed for either restaurant. Each of
the proposed restaurants will have a small outdoor dining area no larger than 25
4
percent of its net public area. The fine dining restaurant is to be located in Building C
with an outdoor patio area on the first floor at the waterfront. An operator license
pursuant to NBMC Chapter 5.25 will not be required for either of the proposed
restaurants due to the early closing hours noted in the table below and the operational
characteristics.
The applicant also proposes to convert 2,388 square feet of planned commercial space
to resident recreational areas and storage. The purpose of this change of use is to
reduce traffic generation and parking demand as the uses do not generate traffic or
parking as they are ancillary to the residential development. The location of this
recreation area/storage will be identified by the applicant at a later date, but the project
has been conditioned that it not be located on the lower level. The applicant has also
limited the boat slips to resident use to further reduce the parking demand of the
development. The applicant requests a waiver of the additional parking that the modified
project generates and proposes a detailed parking management plan to support
commercial uses, proposed restaurants and residents. The applicant's parking
management plan includes access control gates to be installed at each of the four
vehicular access points. Table 1 illustrates the approved and proposed land uses and
Table 2 below describes the restaurant sizes, locations and operating characteristics.

DISCUSSION
Consistency with General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan/Zoning
The site is designated MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water Related) by the General Plan Land
Use Element and the zoning of the site is MU-W2. The site is designated MU-W (Mixed
Use Water Related by the Local Coastal Program. The regulations allow waterfront
properties for marine-related uses intermixed with general commercial, visitor-serving
commercial and residential dwelling units on the upper floors. Eating and drinking
establishments are considered general or visitor-serving and are allowed. The Zoning
Code requires a minor or conditional use permit depending upon the operational
characteristics to ensure the use is compatible.
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."
Land Use Policy LU6.8.4 (Shared Parking Facilities) of the General Plan encourages
the development of shared parking facilities and management programs among private
property owners that provides for adequate parking for residents, guests and business
patrons. The proposed shared parking arrangement will provide adequate parking for
the residents, guests and the commercial uses based upon the shared parking analysis
described below.
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 provides two visitor- and local-
serving restaurant uses consistent with this policy.
Alcoholic Beverage Sales
The Newport Beach Police Department has reviewed the application and supports
approval (Attachment No. PC 6) subject to conditions. The proposed project is located
in Police Reporting District (RD15), which has the highest concentration of retail alcohol
establishments in the City. The crime rate in RD15 is also 369 percent above the
Citywide average based on 2015 statistics. The restaurant operational characteristics
and conditions of approval, including the implementation of a security plan, should
minimize alcohol-related issues and avoid most nuisance issues.
NBMC Section 20.48.090 (Eating and Drinking Establishments) of the Zoning Code
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 subject property is a mixed-use development where residential uses
0
are located directly adjacent and/or above the retail component and adjacent uses to
the subject property are general commercial, retail and eating establishments. The draft
resolution includes conditions of approval to minimize negative impacts that the
proposed eating and drinking establishments may have to residential uses located on
the subject site and nearby and ensure that the operation of proposed restaurants be
compatible with the surrounding community.
In order to approve a use permit for alcohol sales, the Planning Commission must find
that the use is consistent with the purpose and intent of NBMC 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 RD15, which includes most of the commercial
establishments for the Balboa Peninsula between the Newport Boulevard onramp and
20th Street. For a map of the City of Newport Beach Reporting Districts, see Attachment
No. PC 7. A memorandum, which includes alcohol-related statistics from 2015, is
provided in Attachment No. PC 6. The Police Department supports the proposed
application subject to conditions of approval. A discussion of the factors is provided
below:
a) The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as
compared to other areas in the City.
Reporting District Part One Crimes Part Two Crimes Part One Crimes
(Serious offenses) (All other offenses) Rate (per 100,000
people
RD No. 15 175 589 6,267.91
RD No. 12 56 92 3,899.72
RD No. 13 67 169 4,063.07
RD No. 16 102 156 4,311.07
Newport Beach 12,339 13,841 12,739.65
The Part One Crimes Rate in RD15 is higher than the Part One Crimes Rate for the City
and all adjacent districts. The crime rate in this reporting district is 369 percent above
the City wide reporting district average. The higher crime rate within this reporting
district is largely due to the number of visitors to the Balboa Peninsula, the high
concentration of restaurants, visitor-serving uses, and the high ratio of nonresidential to
residential uses in RD15. While the proposed project is located in an area that has a
high concentration of alcohol licenses, staff feels it is appropriate to allow the proposed
eating and drinking establishments. The Police Department took great care in analyzing
the proposed application given the site location. However, the Police Department
determined the concerns can be mitigated by conditions of approval.
b) The numbers of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the
reporting district and the adjacent reporting districts.
Reporting District Alcohol-Related Arrests Total Arrests Calls for Service
RD No. 15 404 625 9,734
RD No. 12 26 79 2,941
RD No. 13 148 192 4,375
RD No. 16 275 159 4,250
Newport Beach 1,185 3,523 102,056
RD15 has a higher number of Alcohol-Related Arrests, Total Arrests, and Calls for
Service recorded in 2015, compared to all adjacent reporting districts. From January 1,
2015, through December 31, 2015, the Police Department reported 19 calls for service
to the subject property. There were also an additional 7 calls from January 1, 2016, to
present. All 26 calls were parking or medical related at the construction site, unrelated
to alcohol problems.
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.
The project site is located in a mixed-use zoning district, which allows for residential
uses when intermixed with nonresidential uses while being improved with a mixed-use
development. The nearest recreational facilities, the beach and the Newport Pier, are
located approximately 520 feet to the southwest of the subject property. The 19th
Street/Bay Avenue beach and Marina Park are approximately 530 feet to the southeast
of the subject property. The nearest church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, is
located approximately 0.5 miles to the south of the subject property along West Balboa
Boulevard. The nearest school, Newport Elementary School, is located 0.7 miles to the
south 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 south along West
Balboa Boulevard. The proposed restaurants will be adjacent to future commercial,
2
retail and office uses on the ground level of development and existing similar uses on
adjacent properties.
The draft resolutions include conditions of approval to help minimize negative impacts
that the project may have to surrounding land uses and ensure that the proposed
restaurants are compatible with the surrounding community.
d) The proximity of the other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for
either off-site or on-site consumption.
The proposed restaurants are in close proximity to several establishments with alcohol
licenses on the Balboa Peninsula including Woody's Wharf, The Crab Cooker, Stag Bar,
and among others. The RD 15 statistics indicate an over concentration of alcohol
licenses within this statistical area.
Reporting District Active ABC License Per Capita
RD No. 15 73 1 per 38 residents
RD No. 12 28 1 per 51 residents
RD No. 13 6 1 per 275 residents
RD No. 16 6 1 per 394 residents
Newport Beach 438 1 per 194 residents
The per capita ratio of one license for every 38 residents is higher than all adjacent
districts and the average Citywide ratio. This is due to the higher concentration of
commercial land uses, many of them visitor-serving, and lower number of residential
properties in the RD 15 area. While the proposed eating establishments are located in
close proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages, staff believes the
physical and operational characteristics of the proposed establishments, located in a
mixed-use development, would make the alcoholic beverage sales in conjunction with
restaurant operations appropriate at this location.
e) Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current
objectionable conditions.
There are no current objectionable conditions related to alcohol sales. The proposed
eating establishments and serving of alcohol beverages with food will provide
convenience to the customers. The Police Department also has no objections to the
proposed types of restaurant. Refer to Attachment No. PC 6 for a copy of the Police
Department Recommendation. The draft resolution, prepared for each restaurant,
includes conditions of approval to limit objectionable conditions due to noise and trash
at the establishment. All employees serving alcohol will be required to be at least 21
years of age and receive ABC-required Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) training.

Required Parking and Shared Parking Analysis
The 2006 approval of the mixed-use development provided parking for 36,000 square
feet of commercial use (office and retail), 27 residential units, and 19 commercial
marina slips. Uses which have a higher parking demand, such as eating and drinking
establishments, medical uses, personal services (i.e. nail salons), etc., were not
provided for. The applicant was aware that commercial occupancies would be restricted
to those uses that require no more than one parking space per 250 gross square feet.
An increase in demand would require additional parking off-site or the approval of a
parking management program that supports a parking reduction. The subject
application seeks a parking reduction based on the shared use of on-site parking and
operation of an active parking management plan.
The proposed casual-dining restaurant of 2,142 square feet would yield a parking
demand of 27 spaces using a parking ratio of one space per 40 square feet of net public
area (NPA). The proposed fine-dining restaurant of 5,204 square feet would yield a
parking demand of 52 spaces using a one space per 50 square feet of NPA. These
requirements rely upon an assumption that 50 percent of the gross area is NPA and the
other 50 percent is "back of house" area. Together, a total of 79 spaces is required.
Proposed floor plans are not available at this time. The applicant states they need
approval of the use permits to entice the prospective operators to prepare the
necessary plans.
The applicant is proposing to allocate the off-street parking spaces as follows: 54
enclosed spaces in the garages at podium level to be used by residents, 14 covered-
tandem office and retail employee spaces and 10 office spaces located at the podium
level for office employee parking. There would be 14 assigned guest parking in the
subterranean garage level and 142 spaces in the subterranean garage level to be
shared by retail, office and restaurant uses. The marina slips will be leased to the
residents and will not be available for use or leased to the general public. Given that the
Zoning and Harbor Codes do not require additional parking for resident slips, parking for
the slips is no longer required. The resident parking, including their assigned guest
parking, will support resident use of the slips.
Based on the parking requirements of the Zoning Code, a total of 250 parking spaces
are required for the entire mixed-use development including all uses. The mixed-use
development will provide a total of 234 off-street parking spaces (78 at the podium and
156 in the garage), which results in a parking shortage of 16 spaces based upon the
required parking ratios for the proposed mix of uses.
Table 3 provides a summary of the uses, parking requirements, and proposed parking.

4 Located in subterranean garage level and to be shared by retail, office and restaurant patrons and
employees
NBMC Section 20.40.110.13 (Reduction of Required Off-Street Parking) of the Municipal
Code allows required off-street parking to be reduced with the approval of a conditional
use permit. A parking demand study and a parking management plan were prepared by
JR Parking Consultants, and are attached as Attachments PC 8 and 9, respectively.
The parking demand analysis identifies demand throughout the day during the week
and weekends for the office, retail and restaurant land uses taking into account the
proposed change in use. The shared parking analysis indicates that the weekday peak
parking demand should be 127 spaces from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm. The typical weekend
peak parking demand should be 106 spaces during the same hour. The 142 spaces
located within the garage level operated pursuant to the parking management plan
should be adequate.
The shared parking analysis is reliant upon the various uses located in a mixed-use
development and larger commercial district, creating 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 help reduce anticipated parking.
The City Traffic Engineer has reviewed and approved the parking demand analysis.
11
Parking Management Plan
The proposed parking management plan has been prepared in compliance with NBMC
Section 20.40.110.C, to support the reduction of required parking. The management
plan is designed to maximize the use of all parking spaces and gated access is
proposed to better ensure the spaces are available to on-site uses.
The podium level will provide parking for assigned and designated users to minimize the
number of vehicles traveling through this level as it is in proximity to residents. The
residents will have access to the podium to park in private garage spaces. A limited
number of retail and office employees will also be authorized to park on this level in the
10 open and 14 covered tandem parking spaces. Deliveries will also be allowed on this
level in the 2 designated loading spaces. The only difference from the 2006 project
approval is shifting the 14 resident guest spaces to the parking garage below.
The subterranean parking garage level will designate parking for resident's guests with
the remainder for commercial uses (employees and patrons). A valet parking service
within the garage level is also proposed for patrons and guests, when needed. LAZ
Parking has been selected to operate and manage the on-site parking. With valet
service, 11 additional spaces can be accommodated by stacking vehicles in drive
aisles. This additional supply was not factored in the parking demand analysis and will
provide extra spaces for unpredicted parking demands.
The City Traffic Engineer has reviewed and approved the parking management plan,
parking control devices, change in on-site circulation, redirecting a portion of inbound
traffic to The Arcade Street subject to the recommended conditions of approval to
promote more efficient operations and reduce potential vehicle conflicts at the access
points.
The proposed restaurants would be restricted to their individual gross area with no more
than 50 percent being devoted to net public area. Outdoor dining would be limited to 25
percent of the interior net public area limit parking demand. The marina slips would be
restricted for resident use and the resident amenity space would be restricted to
residential use only. All commercial and restaurant employees will be required to park
on site.
The applicant intends to charge for parking. If the rates are too high, it would provide an
incentive for employees and patrons to park off-site. A condition of approval (Condition
19) has been included prohibiting any parking management strategies, including pricing,
that unduly drives parking demand outside the project site. Staff also recommends a
condition (Condition 20) requiring monitoring and regular reporting of parking utilization
to the City.
In conclusion, with the implementation of the recommended conditions of approval, staff
believes the parking management plan will efficiently provide adequate parking for on-
site uses while minimizing impacts to the neighborhood and nearby public parking.
12
Traffic
A trip generation analysis was prepared by Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to
evaluate the vehicular trip increase from the proposed conversion of 7,346 square feet
of office/retail to restaurant use (Attachment PC 10). The analysis also took into
consideration the conversion of 2,388 square feet of commercial space to a non-trip
generating residential amenity space proposed by the applicant. The analysis forecasts
a net increase of 295 trips per day above the existing approved development thereby
not requiring a traffic study pursuant to the Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO). The City
Traffic Engineer has reviewed the analysis and concurs with the conclusion.
Conditional Use Permit Findings
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales), the Planning Commission
must make the following finding for approval of a new alcoholic beverage license:
1. The use is consistent with the purpose and intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol
Sales of the Zoning Code.
The provisions of NBMC Section 20.48.030 are discussed above and staff believes the
restaurant uses can be found consistent with the purpose and intent of the section.
Each resolution for both proposed restaurants includes conditions of approval to help
prevent alcohol-related problems and minimize the potential effects of noise on
neighboring residents to preserve the health and safety of residents and other
businesses in the neighborhood.
Pursuant to NBMC Section 20.52.020 (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use Permits)
of the Municipal Code, the Planning Commission must also 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
T3
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.
The proposed restaurant uses are consistent with the General Plan, Local Coastal
Program Coastal Land Use Plan, and allowed in the MU-W2 provided all the required
findings for the approval of the requested application can be made. Consistency with
the General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and Zoning Code are discussed and
supported previously in this report.
Restaurant uses with alcohol service for on-site consumption are expected to be found
in the McFadden Square area and the use will complement and support other uses on-
site and in the vicinity of the project site. Despite not providing the total parking required
by the Zoning Code, the site is physically suitable because it provides sufficient parking
exceeding the anticipated parking demand with the implementation of the parking
management plan.
Emergency access to the property is provided from Newport Boulevard and The Arcade
Street as part of the overall development. The change in the direction of on-site
circulation and the proposed vehicle gates do not diminish emergency access. The
vehicle gate system is equipped with emergency override for fire and police access and
will provide sufficient width for emergency vehicles. Life Safety Services has reviewed
and approved the proposed changes to site access and circulation.
Staff, including the Police Department, supports the two restaurants due to their
operational characteristics taking into account the early closing times, standard
conditions and the implementation of a security plan that will include on-site security
patrols. The security plan will be prepared and implemented in consultation with the
Police Department. The draft resolution for each proposed restaurant also includes
conditions regarding noise, trash, and deliveries to further reduce nuisances. No late
hours, live entertainment or dancing would be permitted reducing the probability for the
establishments to evolve into a bar and/or nightclub that would increase the potential for
alcohol-related issues or other nuisance behavior. The outdoor dining area for each
restaurant is also conditioned to control noise. Due to the design, location, and proximity
of the outdoor patio of the fine-dining restaurant to the residential units located above in
the adjacent building, staff recommends the installation of a solid partition in the west
wall of the outdoor patio. Lastly, no outdoor sound system, loudspeakers, or paging
system would be allowed with either restaurant.
The proposed parking waiver is for the 16-space parking shortage. A parking
management plan has been prepared to mitigate impacts associated with the reduction
of required parking spaces. This plan has been reviewed and approved by the City's
Traffic Engineer. The adjustment in the parking requirements is justified as the parking
management plan indicated that there would be a surplus of on-site parking to
accommodate the entire development including the proposed restaurants, even during
the peak hours. Furthermore, a valet parking plan will be implemented when peak
parking is experienced to promote parking availability and convenience.
-4
The Traffic Engineer and Life Safety Services staff have reviewed the parking
management plan and determined the proposed changes to the on-site circulation and
access to the development will function safely and will not prevent emergency vehicle
access.
Summary and Alternatives
Staff believes the findings for approval can be made and the facts in support of the
required findings are presented in the draft resolution for each restaurant (Attachment
Nos. PC 1 and PC 2). The following alternatives are available to the Planning
Commission should they feel the facts are not in evidence of support for the project
application:
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 revised resolution(s)
incorporating new findings and/or conditions or necessary changes to the
Parking Management Plan.
2. If the Planning Commission believes that there are insufficient facts to support
the findings for approval for any or all of the proposed restaurants, the Planning
Commission should deny either or both restaurant requests and provide facts in
support of denial to be included in the attached draft resolutions for denial
(Attachment Nos. PC 3 and PC 4).
Environmental Review
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find the project is exempt pursuant to
Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines. This section exempts projects involving negligible or no expansion of a use
including but not limited to interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior
partitions, plumbing, and electrical conveyances. The proposed project is limited to
interior improvements to convert office/retail spaces to restaurant uses and other uses
and small outdoor patios and involves no expansion in gross floor area. Further, the net
increase in traffic attributable to the change in uses is below 300 trips, and therefore, a
traffic study pursuant to the Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) is not required.
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.

PUBLIC EATING PLACE) ALCOHOL BEVERAGE CONTROL
LICENSE, AN OUTDOOR DINING PATIO AND A PARKING
REDUCTION LOCATED AT 2300 NEWPORT BOULEVARD, (PA-
2016-157)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by NPB Marina LLC. (Applicant), with respect to property located
at 2300 Newport Boulevard, and legally described as Lot 1 of Tract Map 16594 requesting
approval of Use Permits for the operation of two eating and drinking establishments and a
parking waiver with a parking management plan, pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal
Code (NBMC) Title 20 (Planning and Zoning).
2. The first Use Permit (UP2016-048) covers the 5,204 square-foot, fine dining restaurant
with an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License Type 47 (On-Sale General — Bona
Fide Eating Place). The second Use Permit (UP2016-041) covers the proposed 2,142
square-foot casual dining restaurant with an ABC License Type 41 (On-Sale Beer and
Wine— Bona Fide Eating Place). The proposed restaurants are within the VUE Newport
mixed-use development currently under construction in the McFadden Square area
adjacent to the Crab Cooker.
3. The Applicant is also seeking a parking reduction pursuant to NBMC Section 20.40.110
because the subject property does not provide the sum total parking required for all uses
at the site in accordance with NBMC Sections 20.40.040 and 20.40.060. A Shared Parking
Demand Analysis for a portion of the provided parking and a Parking Management Plan
for all of the on-site parking was submitted to show that the site provides sufficient parking
for all uses.
4. The proposed 2,142 square-foot casual dining restaurant consists of up to 1,071 square
feet of interior net public dining area with an outdoor dining area not to exceed 25 percent
of the interior dining (net public) area. The hours of operation for the restaurant will be
within the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Wednesday and 6:00 a.m. to
11:00 p.m., Thursday through Sunday.
5. The subject property is located within the MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water Related) Zoning
District and the General Plan Land Use Element category is Mixed-Use Water Related
(MU-W2).
19
6. The subject property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan
category is Mixed-Use Water Related (MU-W).
7. A public hearing was held on February 9, 2017, in the Civic Center Community Room
located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and purpose of
the public hearing was given in accordance with the NBMC, both written and oral, was
presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this public hearing.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15301 (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.
2. CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 considers and exempts 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.
3. The proposed project involves interior improvements to convert an approved office/retail
tenant space to an eating and drinking establishment and involves no expansion in floor
area.
4. Parking for the proposed use is accommodated by on-site the parking resources based
upon a shared parking demand analysis subject to a parking management plan.
5. Increased traffic from the site due to the change in use is anticipated to be less than 300
daily trips below and a traffic study is not required pursuant to NBMC Chapter 15.40
(Traffic Phasing Ordinance).
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.48.030(C)(3) (Alcohol Sales), the Planning Commission
finds:
Finding:
A. The use is consistent with the purpose and intent of NBMC Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol
Sales) of the Zoning Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The purpose of NBMC Section 20.48.030 is to preserve a healthy and safe environment
for residents and businesses by establishing a set of consistent standards for the safe
operation of retail alcohol sales establishments recognizing that hospitality,
entertainment, recreation and related businesses are a significant part of the City's
20
economy, and that alcoholic beverage sales are important to the operation of these
businesses. It is also recognized that alcohol abuse can create environments that
jeopardize the continued success of these businesses and seriously affect the health,
safety, and general welfare in surrounding areas, particularly residential neighborhoods.
2. The intent of NBMC Section 20.48.030 is to prevent alcohol-related problems (e.g.,
driving under the influence, alcohol abuse, assaults, public inebriation, littering, loitering,
obstruction of pedestrian traffic, noise, traffic violations, illegal parking, defacement and
damaging of public and private property, etc.). This section provides regulations to
reduce the costly and harmful effects of irresponsible alcohol sales and consumption on
the City, neighborhoods, local businesses, residents, law enforcement, medical care,
and educational, preventive, treatment and rehabilitation resources.
Based upon the project description, findings and conditions of approval, the project
meets the purpose and intent of NBMC Section 20.48.030. 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 will ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol-
related nuisances and impacts to law enforcement resources.
3. In making the required finding, the Planning Commission considered the following:
a. The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as compared
to other areas in the City.
1. The Part One Crimes Rate in Reporting District 15 (RD15) is higher than the Part
One Crimes Rate for the City and all adjacent districts. The crime rate in this
reporting district is 369 percent above the Citywide reporting district average. The
higher crime rate within this reporting district is largely due to the number of
visitors to the Balboa Peninsula, the high concentration of restaurants, visitor-
serving uses, and the high ratio of nonresidential to residential uses in RD 15.
2. Restaurant uses with alcohol service for on-site consumption are expected to be
found in the McFadden Square area and the use will complement and support
other uses on-site and in the vicinity of the project site.
3. The proposed restaurant is not permitted to operate as a bar, tavern, cocktail
lounge, or nightclub.
b. The numbers of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting
district and in adjacent reporting districts.
1. RD15 has a higher number of Alcohol-Related Arrests, Total Arrests, and Calls
for Service recorded in 2015, compared to all adjacent reporting districts. From
January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015, the Police Department reported
19 calls for service to the subject property. There were also an additional 7 calls
from January 1, 2016, to present. All 26 calls were parking or medical related at
the construction site, unrelated to alcohol problems.
21
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.
1. The project site is located in a mixed-use zoning district, which allows for
residential uses when intermixed with nonresidential uses and being improved
with a mixed-use development. The nearest recreational facilities, the beach and
the Newport Pier, are located approximately 520 feet to the southwest of the
subject property. The 19th Street/Bay Avenue beach and Marina Park are
approximately 530 feet to the southeast of the subject property. The nearest
church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, is located approximately 0.5 miles to the
south of the subject property along West Balboa Boulevard. The nearest school,
Newport Elementary, is located 0.7 miles to the south 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 south along West Balboa Boulevard.
The proposed restaurant will be adjacent to future commercial, retail and office
uses on the ground level of development and existing similar uses on adjacent
properties.
2. The limited hours of operation (no late hours as defined by the Zoning Code) and
conditions of approval are in place to help minimize negative impacts that the
project may have to surrounding land uses and ensure that the proposed
restaurant is compatible with the surrounding community.
d. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off-site
or on-site consumption.
1. The proposed restaurant is in close proximity to several establishments with
alcohol licenses on the Balboa Peninsula including Woody's Wharf, The Crab
Cooker, Stag Bar, among others. The RD15 statistics indicate an over
concentration of alcohol licenses within this statistical area.
2. The per capita ratio of one license for every 38 residents is higher than all
adjacent districts and the average Citywide ratio. This is due to the higher
concentration of commercial land uses, many of them visitor-serving, and lower
number of residential properties in the RD15 area. While the proposed eating
establishment is located in close proximity to other establishments selling
alcoholic beverages, the physical and operational characteristics of the proposed
establishment would make the alcoholic beverage sales in conjunction with its
operation appropriate at this location.
e. Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable
conditions.
1. There are no current objectionable conditions related to alcohol sales. The
proposed eating establishment and serving of alcohol beverages with food will
provide convenience to the customers. The Police Department also has no
objections to the proposed restaurant. Conditions of approval are in place to limit
22
objectionable conditions due to noise and trash at the establishment. All
employees serving alcohol will be required to be at least 21 years of age and
receive ABC-required Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) training.
In accordance with NBMC 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 proposed eating and drinking establishment, which will be a part of the
mixed-use development which allows residential, office, and retail uses is consistent
with this land use designation.
2. The proposed application does not result in an increase in the gross floor area
developed at the site, and therefore, the project and site would not exceed the maximum
allowable commercial floor area of 0.5 floor area ratio of the General Plan.
3. The proposed restaurant 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 new eating and drinking
establishment with an outdoor dining area 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 new
establishment will provide synergy to the newly constructed mixed-use development and
revitalize 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.
23
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. The
proposed restaurant will be located on the ground floor of a mixed-use development
which consists of residential units located on the top floors of office and retail uses.
2. Eating and drinking establishments are conditionally permitted uses subject to obtaining
a Minor or Conditional Use Permit (CUP) within this district due to their proximity to
residential uses.
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 10:00 p.m., Monday through Wednesday and 6:00 a.m. to 11:00
p.m., Thursday through Sunday. The closing hours are compatible with other eating and
drinking establishments in the area.
2. The proposed 2,142 square-foot restaurant consists of up to 1,071 square feet of interior
net public area with an outdoor dining area not to exceed 25 percent of the interior dining
(net public) area. Live entertainment and dancing are not proposed.
3. The project includes conditions of approval to ensure that potential conflicts are
minimized to the greatest extent possible. Although the proposed restaurant is located
within the mixed-use development where residential units are located on the subject
property, the building is located in the front of development and oriented toward the
Newport Boulevard. The outdoor dining area will be physically separated from public-
access area. A security plan will be developed with input from the Newport Beach Police
Department. Implementation of the security plan will reduce potential noise and loitering
issues. The applicant is also required to control trash and litter around their leased area.
4. The operational conditions of approval recommended by the Police Department relative
to the sale of alcoholic beverages, will help ensure compatibility with the surrounding
uses and minimize alcohol related impacts. The project has been conditioned to ensure
the welfare of the on-site residents and surrounding community.
5. The applicant is required to obtain Health Department approval prior to opening the
restaurant, and is further required to comply with the California Building Code to ensure
the safety and welfare of customers and employees within the establishment.
24
6. The subject property is located in a mixed-use development and a relatively dense area
with multiple uses within a short distance of each other. The proposed Parking
Management Plan has been prepared in order to ensure that on-site parking resources
are available to address parking demand predicted by a shared parking demand
analysis. The Parking Management Plan is designed to maximize the use of all parking
spaces located at the subject property under a controlled arrangement with gated
accesses.
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 proposed restaurant will be restricted to its gross square footage, maximum
allowable net public area and outdoor dining criteria as tentatively identified. The size,
location, and operating characteristics of the restaurant are conditioned so that it will be
compatible with the mixed-use environment on-site and surrounding neighborhood.
2. The site provides adequate parking for the proposed restaurant taking into account a
second restaurant and other changes in use based upon the shared parking demand
analysis prepared by JR Parking Consultants (2017) that has been reviewed and
approved by the City Traffic Engineer.
3. Adequate public and emergency vehicle access, public services, and utilities are
provided to the subject property with the circulation changes and gates vehicular access
changes as proposed by the applicant. The Traffic Engineer and Fire Safety Services
staff have reviewed and determined the proposed changes to the on-site circulation and
access to the mixed-use development to accommodate the proposed restaurant will
function safely and will not prevent emergency vehicle access.
4. The tenant improvements and any potential upgrades to utilities 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.
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.
25
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed restaurant has been reviewed and includes conditions of approval to ensure
that potential conflicts with the on-site mixed-use environmental and 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 proposed restaurant will provide casual-dining experiences and service of alcoholic
beverages as a public convenience to the on-site residents and surrounding
neighborhood and visitors to the area. This will provide synergy to the mixed-use
development and provide an economic opportunity for the property owner to maintain a
desired retail and service mix on-site, which best serve the quality of life for the residents
and surrounding visitor- and local-serving community.
3. The adjustment in the parking requirements is justified as the parking management plan
indicated that there would be a surplus of on-site parking to accommodate the entire
development including the proposed restaurants. Furthermore, a valet parking plan is
also in place to ensure adequate parking is available at all times of the day.
4. The proposed restaurant is located in a mixed-use development and commercial 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 are justified in considering the reduced number of parking spaces
required for the proposed restaurant.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.40.110(B)(1) (Reduction in Off-Street Parking), the
following conditions are set forth for a parking reduction for the proposed restaurant:
Finding:
G. The applicant has provided sufficient data, including a parking study if required by the
Director, 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
available, greater than normal walk in trade, mixed-use development).
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. A parking demand analysis dated January 2017, has been prepared by JR Parking
Consultants for the VUE Newport mixed-use development inclusive of the proposed
restaurant, a second restaurant and other changes in use. The parking demand analysis
identifies demand throughout the day during the weekdays and weekends for the office,
retail and restaurant uses taking into account the proposed change in use and
restaurants.
20
2. The proposed shared parking arrangement to address the required parking demand,
indicates that there would be sufficient parking to accommodate the weekday and
weekend peaks.
3. The shared parking analysis is reliant upon the various uses located in a mixed-use
development and larger commercial district, creating 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 help reduce anticipated parking.
The City Traffic Engineer has reviewed and approved the parking demand analysis.
Finding:
H. A parking management plan (PMP) shall be prepared in compliance with NBMC Subsection
20.40.110(C) (Parking Management Plan).
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. A Parking Management Plan dated January 2017, has been prepared by JR Parking
Consultants for the VUE Newport mixed-use development. The plan provides for effective
management of patrons and employee parking for the retail, office and restaurant uses,
under a shared parking arrangement. Conditions of approval require implementation of the
plan including modifications of the plan should issues arise. The plan is also attached to the
resolution and incorporated by reference.
2. The Parking Management Plan has been reviewed and approved by the City Traffic
Engineer and will be subject to the conditions of approval of this CUP. Parking and access
to the site will be subject to monitoring and adjustment to resolve unforeseen parking or
access issues.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves Use Permit No.
UP2016-041 for new 2,142 square-foot casual-dining restaurant with an ABC License
Type 41, an outdoor dining area and a parking reduction, subject to the conditions set forth

the public hearing was given in accordance with the NBMC, both written and oral, was
presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this meeting.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to
Section 15301 (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.
2. CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 considers and exempts 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.
3. The proposed project involves interior improvements to convert an approved office/retail
tenant space to an eating and drinking establishment and involves no expansion in floor
area.
4. Parking for the proposed use is accommodated by on-site the parking resources based
upon a shared parking demand analysis subject to a parking management plan.
5. Increased traffic from the site due to the change in use is anticipated to be less than 300
daily trips below and a traffic study is not required pursuant to NBMC Chapter 15.40
(Traffic Phasing Ordinance).
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.48.030(C)(3) (Alcohol Sales), the Planning Commission
finds:
Finding:
A. The use is consistent with the purpose and intent of NBMC Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol
Sales) of the Zoning Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The purpose of NBMC Section 20.48.030 is to preserve a healthy and safe environment
for residents and businesses by establishing a set of consistent standards for the safe
operation of retail alcohol sales establishments recognizing that hospitality,
entertainment, recreation and related businesses are a significant part of the City's
economy, and that alcoholic beverage sales are important to the operation of these
businesses. It is also recognized that alcohol abuse can create environments that
40
jeopardize the continued success of these businesses and seriously affect the health,
safety, and general welfare in surrounding areas, particularly residential neighborhoods.
2. The intent of NBMC Section 20.48.030 is to prevent alcohol-related problems (e.g.,
driving under the influence, alcohol abuse, assaults, public inebriation, littering, loitering,
obstruction of pedestrian traffic, noise, traffic violations, illegal parking, defacement and
damaging of public and private property, etc.). This section provides regulations to
reduce the costly and harmful effects of irresponsible alcohol sales and consumption on
the City, neighborhoods, local businesses, residents, law enforcement, medical care,
and educational, preventive, treatment and rehabilitation resources.
Based upon the project description, findings and conditions of approval, the project
meets the purpose and intent of NBMC Section 20.48.030. 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 will ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol-
related nuisances and impacts to law enforcement resources.
3. In making the required finding, the Planning Commission considered the following:
a. The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as compared
to other areas in the City.
1. The Part One Crimes Rate in Reporting District 15 (RD15) is higher than the Part
One Crimes Rate for the City and all adjacent districts. The crime rate in this
reporting district is 369 percent above the Citywide reporting district average. The
higher crime rate within this reporting district is largely due to the number of
visitors to the Balboa Peninsula, the high concentration of restaurants, visitor-
serving uses, and the high ratio of nonresidential to residential uses in RD 15.
2. Restaurant uses with alcohol service for on-site consumption are expected to be
found in the McFadden Square area and the use will complement and support
other uses on site and in the vicinity of the project site.
3. The proposed restaurant is not permitted to operate as a bar, tavern, cocktail
lounge, or nightclub.
b. The numbers of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting
district and in adjacent reporting districts.
1. RD15 has a higher number of Alcohol-Related Arrests, Total Arrests, and Calls
for Service recorded in 2015, compared to all adjacent reporting districts. From
January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015, the Police Department reported
19 calls for service to the subject property. There were also an additional 7 calls
from January 1, 2016, to present. All 26 calls were parking or medical related at
the construction site, unrelated to alcohol problems.
41
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.
1. The project site is located in a mixed-use zoning district, which allows for
residential uses when intermixed with nonresidential uses and being improved
with a mixed-use development. The nearest recreational facilities, the beach and
the Newport Pier, are located approximately 520 feet to the southwest of the
subject property. The 19th Street/Bay Avenue beach and Marina Park are
approximately 530 feet to the southeast of the subject property. The nearest
church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, is located approximately 0.5 miles to the
south of the subject property along West Balboa Boulevard. The nearest school,
Newport Elementary, is located 0.7 miles to the south 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 south along West Balboa Boulevard.
The proposed restaurant will be adjacent to future commercial, retail and office
uses on the ground level of development and existing similar uses on adjacent
properties.
2. The limited hours of operation (no late hours as defined by the Zoning Code) and
conditions of approval are in place to help minimize negative impacts that the
project may have to surrounding land uses and ensure that the proposed
restaurant is compatible with the surrounding community.
d. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off-site
or on-site consumption.
1. The proposed restaurant is in close proximity to several establishments with
alcohol licenses on the Balboa Peninsula including Woody's Wharf, The Crab
Cooker, Stag Bar, among others. The RD15 statistics indicate an over
concentration of alcohol licenses within this statistical area.
2. The per capita ratio of one license for every 38 residents is higher than all
adjacent districts and the average Citywide ratio. This is due to the higher
concentration of commercial land uses, many of them visitor-serving, and lower
number of residential properties in the RD15 area. While the proposed eating
establishment is located in close proximity to other establishments selling
alcoholic beverages, the physical and operational characteristics of the proposed
establishment would make the alcoholic beverage sales in conjunction with its
operation appropriate at this location.
e. Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable
conditions.
1. There are no current objectionable conditions related to alcohol sales. The
proposed eating establishment and serving of alcoholic beverages with food will
provide convenience to the customers. The Police Department also has no
objections to the proposed restaurant. Conditions of approval are in place to limit
42
objectionable conditions due to noise and trash at the establishment. All
employees serving alcohol will be required to be at least 21 years of age and
receive ABC-required Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) training.
In accordance with NBMC 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 proposed eating and drinking establishment, which will be a part of the
mixed-use development which allows residential, office, and retail uses is consistent
with this land use designation.
2. The proposed application does not result in an increase in the gross floor area
developed at the site, and therefore, the project and site would not exceed the maximum
allowable commercial floor area of 0.5 floor area ratio of the General Plan.
3. The proposed restaurant 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 new eating and drinking
establishment with an outdoor dining area 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 new
establishment will provide synergy to the newly constructed mixed-use development and
revitalize 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.
-4.3
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. The
proposed restaurant will be located on the ground floor of a mixed-use development
which consists of residential units located on the top floors of office and retail uses.
2. Eating and drinking establishments are conditionally permitted uses subject to obtaining
a Minor or Conditional Use Permit (CUP) within this district due to their proximity to
residential uses.
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 10:00 p.m., Monday through Wednesday and 6:00 a.m. to 11:00
p.m., Thursday through Sunday. The closing hours are compatible with other eating and
drinking establishments in the area.
2. The proposed 5,204 square-foot restaurant consists of up to 2,602 square feet of interior
net public area with an outdoor dining area not to exceed 25 percent of the interior dining
(net public) area. Live entertainment and dancing are not proposed.
3. The project includes conditions of approval to ensure that potential conflicts are
minimized to the greatest extent possible. Due to the design, location, and proximity of
the outdoor patio of the fine-dining restaurant to the residential units located above in
the adjacent building, the installation of a solid partition in the west wall of the outdoor
patio will be required. Lastly, no outdoor sound system, loudspeakers, or paging system
would be allowed. A security plan will be developed with input from the Newport Beach
Police Department. Implementation of the security plan will reduce potential noise and
loitering issues. The applicant is also required to control trash and litter around their leased
area.
4. The operational conditions of approval recommended by the Police Department relative
to the sale of alcoholic beverages, will help ensure compatibility with the surrounding
uses and minimize alcohol related impacts. The project has been conditioned to ensure
the welfare of the on-site residents and surrounding community.
5. The applicant is required to obtain Health Department approval prior to opening the
restaurant, and is further required to comply with the California Building Code to ensure
the safety and welfare of customers and employees within the establishment.
44
6. The subject property is located in a mixed-use development and a relatively dense area
with multiple uses within a short distance of each other. The proposed Parking
Management Plan has been prepared in order to ensure that on-site parking resources
are available to address parking demand predicted by a shared parking demand
analysis. The Parking Management Plan is designed to maximize the use of all parking
spaces located at the subject property under a controlled arrangement with gated
accesses.
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 proposed restaurant will be restricted to its gross square footage, maximum
allowable net public area and outdoor dining criteria as tentatively identified. The size,
location, and operating characteristics of the restaurant are conditioned so that it will be
compatible with the mixed-use environment on site and surrounding neighborhood.
2. The site provides adequate parking for the proposed restaurant taking into account a
second restaurant and other changes in use based upon the shared parking demand
analysis prepared by JR Parking Consultants (2017) that has been reviewed and
approved by the City Traffic Engineer.
3. Adequate public and emergency vehicle access, public services, and utilities are
provided to the subject property with the circulation changes and gates vehicular access
changes as proposed by the applicant. The Traffic Engineer and Fire Safety Services
staff have reviewed and determined the proposed changes to the on-site circulation and
access to the mixed-use development to accommodate the proposed restaurant will
function safely and will not prevent emergency vehicle access.
4. The tenant improvements and any potential upgrades to utilities 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.
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.
45
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed restaurant has been reviewed and includes conditions of approval to ensure
that potential conflicts with the on-site mixed-use environmental and 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 proposed restaurant will provide fine-dining experiences and service of alcoholic
beverages as a public convenience to the on-site residents and surrounding
neighborhood and visitors to the area. This will provide synergy to the mixed-use
development and provide an economic opportunity for the property owner to maintain a
desire retail and service mix on site, which best serve the quality of life for the residents
and surrounding visitor- and local-serving community.
3. The adjustment in the parking requirements is justified as the parking management plan
indicated that there would be a surplus of on-site parking to accommodate the entire
development including the proposed restaurants. Furthermore, a valet parking plan is
also in place to ensure adequate parking is available at all times of the day.
4. The proposed restaurant is located in a mixed-use development and commercial 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 are justified in considering the reduced number of parking spaces
required for the proposed restaurant.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.40.110(B)(1) (Reduction in Off-Street Parking), the
following conditions are set forth for a parking reduction for the proposed restaurant:
Finding:
G. The applicant has provided sufficient data, including a parking study if required by the
Director, 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
available, greater than normal walk in trade, mixed-use development).
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. A parking demand analysis dated January 2017, has been prepared by JR Parking
Consultants for the VUE Newport mixed-use development inclusive of the proposed
restaurant, a second restaurant and other changes in use. The parking demand analysis
identifies demand throughout the day during the weekdays and weekends for the office,
retail and restaurant uses taking into account the proposed change in use and
restaurants.
40
2. The proposed shared parking arrangement to address the required parking demand,
indicates that there would be sufficient parking to accommodate the weekday and
weekend peaks.
3. The shared parking analysis is reliant upon the various uses located in a mixed-use
development and larger commercial district, creating 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 help reduce anticipated parking.
The City Traffic Engineer has reviewed and approved the parking demand analysis.
Finding:
H. A parking management plan (PMP) shall be prepared in compliance with NBMC Subsection
20.40.110(C) (Parking Management Plan).
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. A Parking Management Plan dated January 2017, has been prepared by JR Parking
Consultants for the VUE Newport mixed-use development. The plan provides for effective
management of patrons and employee parking for the retail, office and restaurant uses,
under a shared parking arrangement. Conditions of approval requires implementation of the
plan including modifications of the plan should issues arise. The plan is also attached to the
resolution and incorporated by reference.
2. The Parking Management Plan has been reviewed and approved by the City Traffic
Engineer and will be subject to the conditions of approval of this use permit. Parking and
access to the site will be subject to monitoring and adjustment to resolve unforeseen parking
or access issues.
SECTION 4. DECISION.

PUBLIC EATING PLACE) ALCOHOL BEVERAGE CONTROL
LICENSE, AN OUTDOOR DINING PATIO AND A PARKING
REDUCTION LOCATED AT 2300 NEWPORT BOULEVARD, (PA-
2016-157)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by NPB Marina LLC. (Applicant), with respect to property located
at 2300 Newport Boulevard, and legally described as Lot 1 of Tract Map 16594 requesting
approval of Use Permits for the operation of two eating and drinking establishments and a
parking waiver with a parking management plan, pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal
Code (NBMC) Title 20 (Planning and Zoning).
2. The first Use Permit (UP2016-048) covers the 5,204 square-foot, fine dining restaurant
with an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License Type 47 (On-Sale General — Bona
Fide Eating Place). The second Use Permit (UP2016-041) covers the proposed 2,142
square-foot casual dining restaurant with an ABC License Type 41 (On-Sale Beer and
Wine— Bona Fide Eating Place). The proposed restaurants are within the VUE Newport
mixed-use development currently under construction in the McFadden Square area
adjacent to the Crab Cooker.
3. The Applicant is also seeking a parking reduction pursuant to NBMC Section 20.40.110
because the subject property does not provide the sum total parking required for all uses
at the site in accordance with NBMC Sections 20.40.040 and 20.40.060. A Shared Parking
Demand Analysis for a portion of the provided parking and a Parking Management Plan
for all of the on-site parking was submitted to show that the site provides sufficient parking
for all uses.
4. The proposed 2,142 square-foot casual dining restaurant consists of up to 1,071 square
feet of interior net public dining area with an outdoor dining area not to exceed 25 percent
of the interior dining (net public) area. The hours of operation for the restaurant will be
within the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Wednesday and 6:00 a.m. to
11:00 p.m., Thursday through Sunday.
5. The subject property is located within the MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water Related) Zoning
District and the General Plan Land Use Element category is Mixed-Use Water Related
(MU-W2).
59
6. The subject property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan
category is Mixed-Use Water Related (MU-W).
7. A public hearing was held on February 9, 2017, in the Civic Center Community Room
located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and purpose of
the public hearing was given in accordance with the NBMC. Evidence, both written and
oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this public
hearing.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. Pursuant to Section 15270 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines,
projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves are not subject to CEQA review.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In this case, the Planning Commission was unable to make the required findings set forth in
Section 20.52.020(F) and Section 20.48.030 for the approval of a Minor Use Permit for an
eating and drinking establishment and Section 20.40.110 for the approval of a Conditional Use
Permit for a parking reduction based upon the following:
1. The use requires a parking reduction that is based upon a shared parking analysis and
is reliant upon a complicated parking management plan requiring on-site attendants and
active monitoring to ensure avoidance of detrimental conditions related to vehicle
access and parking. This complicated arrangement as well as potential parking demand
in excess of the assumptions provided in the Parking Management Plan dated January
2017, estimates could lead to parking space shortage and cars queuing within the public
right-of-way, a potentially unsafe event, to gain entry to the project site.
2. The site is not large enough to accommodate and provide the sum total parking required
pursuant to NBMC Chapter 20.40 for all uses at the project site. When considering the
proposed restaurant, a requested second restaurant and other changes in use, the site
is deficient by 16 parking spaces compared to the sum total parking requirement for all
uses of the site. Insufficient parking would be detrimental to the project and community.
3. The restaurant use is in close proximity to residential uses and nuisances from
deliveries, patrons, odor, potential parking conflicts, and noise could easily disturb
residents within the project. The sale and on-site consumption of alcohol could easily
execrate these nuisances to the detriment of future residents of the site, other future
commercial patrons, and the neighborhood.
4. The site is located in Reporting District No. 15, which has the highest concentration of
alcohol licenses in the City per capita. This area also has the highest crime rate and has
a higherthan average incidence of alcohol-related incidents and calls for service. Adding
another establishment that sells alcohol for on-site consumption could lead to increased
alcohol-related incidents and increased calls for law enforcement services exacerbating
existing conditions.
00
SECTION 4. DECISION.
Now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby denies Conditional Use
Permit No. UP2016-041.
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 Title 20 Planning and Zoning, of the Newport Beach Municipal
Code.

restaurants and a type 41 alcohol license at the other. The VUE was entitled in 2006 as a mixed-
use development consisting of 27 for-sale residential units, approximately 36,0001 square feet of
commercial floor area, and the reconstruction of bulk heads and boat slips on approximately
2.36 acres.
This CUP would allow the following:
• A full-service restaurant, food service (no late hours)with a Type 47 (On-Sale General
—Eating Place) alcohol license, containing 5,204 square feet and located in Suite 6 on
the ground level of Building C with patio seating (not to exceed 25% of the net public
area)? This restaurant is anticipated to be a fine dining establishment similar in concept
to The Cannery, Bluewater Grill, and Bandera.
• A general restaurant (no late hours) with a Type 41 (On-Sale Beer & Wine—Eating
Place)alcohol license, containing 2,142 square feet and located in Suite 2 on the ground

restaurant is anticipated to be a similar in concept to Pieology,MOD Pizza,Pizza Press,
Burger Lounge, and HopDoddy Burger Bar.
• Amenity space containing approximately 2,388 square feet for internal project uses
such as storage, a fitness center, associations offices, dock management, and security
offices, all for the benefit of the residential owners and/or commercial tenants.
No live entertainment, dancing or acoustic music is proposed for any of the above establishments.
Hours of operation will be limited to between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday through
Wednesday and 11:00 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. For clarification purposes with respect to
the restaurants,the seating of tables will cease one hour prior to closing,the kitchen will close one-
half hour prior to closing, and it is anticipated that the restaurant will be largely empty by closing
time. Additionally, alcohol sales will be restricted to no sooner than 10:00 a.m. and no later than
the closing times noted above.
1 Only 35,335 square feet of the 36,000 square feet entitlement was actually built.
2 The City confirmed that any patio areas associated with the restaurant uses do not count

Conditional Use Permit Findings:
In accordance with Section 20.52.020.F (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use Permits,
Findings and Decisions),the Planning Commission must make the following findings for approval
for 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 this 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 ofpublic and emergency vehicle (e.g.,fire and medical)
access and public services and utilities; and
5. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the harmonious
and orderly growth of the City, nor 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.
The proposed use is consistent with purpose and intent of the MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water)general
plan land use designation and zoning district, by encouraging pedestrian character, promoting
visitor amenities, and supporting water-oriented commercial uses. Additionally, restaurant use is
a conditionally permitted use within the MU-W2 zoning district. The proposed restaurant uses
...9360.08/OC
372416-00003/sqm -2 72
-
will serve both visitors and the VUE residents and will complement the commercial, pedestrian-
friendly and marine-oriented character of the immediate vicinity.
The modification through the CUP would not add additional square feet to the VUE or alter the
external characteristics of the VUE. As the VUE is an existing approved and constructed facility,
and the CUP only proposes the limited conversion of retail and office uses to restaurant and
amenity uses, the CUP will not result in any significant impacts. Any proposed outdoor seating
areas will be located on the existing patio spaces approved as part of the VUE's original
entitlements. Thus, there are no changes to the approved design, location, shape or size of the
VUE's exterior elements, nor any changes to emergency vehicle access or public services or
utilities of the VUE.
The operation of the two restaurants is compatible with and will complement the allowed uses in
the vicinity, which consist of commercial, restaurant and residential uses. Trash, delivery, and
security have been carefully coordinated with the City to minimize impacts on the residents and
neighbors. The proposed uses will not interfere with or be detrimental to the residences developed
as part of the VUE nor the adjacent properties. In fact, it is anticipated that the proposed food
service uses will serve and benefit the residents. Any potential noise impacts will be attenuated
because of the restricted hours of operation and none of the proposed establishments will host live
entertainment, dancing or acoustic music. Additionally, all outdoor seating for the proposed
restaurants will be located in existing patio area, so no new outdoor areas are being developed in
connection with the CUP.
The addition of restaurant use to the VUE will not have a significant impacts on traffic as stated
in the attached letter from the traffic engineering firm, Stantec. There is sufficient on-site parking
for the entire VUE project,including the proposed restaurant uses, as demonstrated by the attached
Parking Management Plan(PMP)and Parking Analysis Study from JR Parking Consultants. Thus,
the proposed restaurant uses will not create any additional traffic or parking impacts for the
residents or surrounding uses. In fact, it is anticipated that a portion of the visitors to the VUE will
be on-site residents and walk-up and boat-up visitors, thus further reducing the traffic and parking
impacts of the restaurant use. The residents and tenants in the VUE will be complementary to and
compatible with the proposed restaurant establishments.
Alcohol Sales Findines:
In order to approve a CUP for alcohol use, the Planning Commission must also find that the use is
consistent with the purpose and intent of Zoning Code Section 20.48.030. In doing so, the
following must be considered:
1. The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as compared to
other areas in the City.
2. The numbers of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting district
and in adjacent reporting districts.
3. The proximity of the establishment to residential zoning districts, day care centers,
hospitals,park and recreation facilities,places ofworship,schools, other similar uses, and
any uses that attract minors.
...9360.08/OC
372416-00003/sqm -3-
4. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off-site or on-
site consumption.
5. Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable conditions.
The proposed establishments are part of a high-end mixed-use residential project with private
security during the evening and early morning hours. The project owners have gone and will go
to great lengths to ensure that restaurants and alcohol sales do not adversely impact the residents
and other tenants within the project. The immediately surrounding areas are composed of a
mixture of commercial, restaurant and residential uses. There are no day care centers, schools,
hospitals or other similar sensitive uses in the immediate vicinity. Alcohol service at the proposed
restaurants is expected to be primarily for on-site consumption to complement the food service.
The project will offer a contained area for responsible alcohol consumption within a high-end,
mixed-use project with private security. Offering on-sale beer and wine alcohol service will
complement the food service and provide for the convenience of the residents and the community.
All employees serving alcohol will be required to be at least 21 years of age and alcohol service
will comply with any conditions of approval imposed by the City.
CEOA Exemption:
The City of Newport Beach, as lead agency, approved the final Environmental Impact Report
("EIR") for the VUE in 2006, which adequately addresses all potential environmental impacts
resulting from the VUE, and filed a Notice of Determination in connection therewith on
November 28, 2006. The requested CUP will not trigger any new significant environmental
impacts that were not already adequately addressed in the existing EIR. Accordingly, the
requested CUP will rely on the existing EIR and no additional CEQA documentation is required
in connection with approval of the requested CUP.

DETECTIVE DIVISION
MEMORANDUM
TO: Rosalinh Ung, Associate Planner
FROM: Wendy Joe, Police Civilian Investigator
DATE: January 19, 2017
SUBJECT: Vue Newport Use Permit
2300 Newport Blvd.
Use Permit No. 2016-041 (PA2016-157)
At your request, the Police Department has reviewed the project application for the Vue
Newport Use Permits located at 2300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach. Per the project
description, the applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to allow two restaurants with
alcohol sales on property:
• A 5,204 square foot full-service "fine dining" restaurant with a Type 47 (On Sale General
Eating Establishment) Alcoholic Beverage Control License and an outdoor dining patio.
No late hours, live entertainment, or dancing proposed.
• A 2,142 square foot casual dining restaurant with a Type 41 (On Sale Beer and Wine)
Alcoholic Beverage Control License and an outdoor dining patio. No late hours, live
entertainment, or dancing proposed.
The proposed hours of both operations are as follows:
• Interior and Exterior Dining: 6:00 a.m. through 10:00 p.m. Monday through Wednesday
and 6:00 a.m. through 11:00 p.m. Thursday through Sunday
An Operator License will not be required for these establishments.
Statistical Data and Public Convenience or Necessity
Business and Professions Code §23958.4 finds "undue concentration" for an applicant
premises in two ways: 20% higher crime with an alcohol nexus in a Reporting District as
compared to the city wide average, and an over saturation of alcohol licenses in a census tract
compared to the county. When undue concentration is found to exist, a judgment on Public
Convenience or Necessity (PCN) is required. However, there is no definitive or uniform
guideline defining the application of PCN. While the final determination of PCN for a Type 41
and a Type 47 license falls to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), ABC
encourages local authorities to address PCN in the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process.

Crime Statistics
Attached is a report compiled by Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) Crime Analyst
Caroline Staub, which provides detailed statistical information related to calls for service in and
around the applicant's current place of business at 2300 Newport Boulevard.
The Police Department divides the City into areas referred to as Reporting Districts. This
allows the Police Department to create statistical data, as well as better communicate officer
locations while policing. The proposed applicant location is within Reporting District (RD) 15
which stretches from 37th Street to 20th Street. 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 location meets the legal criteria for undue concentration (B&P§23958.4). i
• In 2015, RD 15 had a total of 764 reported crimes
• In 2015, RD 15 was 369% over the city-wide average of reported crime
• In 2015, RD 15 had 625 arrests
• In 2015, 56% of arrests in RD 15 were directly related to alcohol
Alcohol License Statistics
The applicant premise is located within census tract 0635.00. This census tract has an
approximate population of 6,342 residents with 74 on-sale licenses. That is a per capita ratio of
1 license for every 627 residents. Per the Business and Professions code, we compare this per
capita ratio to Orange County's on-sale per capita ratio of 1 license for every 737 residents.
This location meets the legal criteria for undue concentration (8&P§23958.4).
To put alcohol license data in more relatable terms speaking about RD 15 only:
• RD 15 has 70 on-sale ABC licenses
• RD 15 has 3 off-sale ABC licenses
• RD 15's total per capita ratio of on-sale licenses is 1 license for every 40 residents
• RD 15's total per capita ratio of all retail licenses is 1 license for every 38 residents
• Orange County's per capita ratio of retail licenses is 1 license for every 381 residents
• RD 15 is significantly over saturated j
Discussion and Recommendations
The above statistical information is provided for educational reference and perspective. Please
note 2015 statistics are supplied at this time because 2016 have not yet been completed. For
clarity, the attached statistic sheet indicates there were 19 calls for service at the applicant
address in 2015. There were also an additional 7 calls from January 1, 2016 to present. All 26
calls were parking or medical related at the construction site, unrelated to alcohol problems.
Given the oversaturation of alcohol in this area coupled with the high crime, the Police
Department took great care in analyzing this project. We employ a great deal of resources in
the project location's immediate area after hours, and adding two alcohol establishments
seems to be contrary to our goal of minimizing alcohol related problems. However, after
several meetings with the applicant and City Staff, the Police Department believes our
2
72

Use Permit No. 2016-041
concerns can be mitigated by imposed conditions. We are of the opinion that the continued
growth of the area will begin to resolve the current party atmosphere of this particular portion of
RD15 and begin to enhance the overall demographic. Therefore, the Police Department takes
no strong objection to this project.
This application, minus a tenant or business model, requires us to evaluate the use only, and in
doing so, we have recommended conditions that will ensure the establishment upholds the
intent of the proposed establishments.

PROJECT SUMMARY
OVERVIEW
This report provides the shared parking analysis for the Vue Newport ("VUE") located in
Newport Beach, California for the proposed change in use for the project.
NP Beach Marina LLC is the owner of the newly constructed VUE Newport Beach mixed-use
project located at 2300 Newport Boulevard ("VUE") and requests a conditional use permit
("CUP") to allow: (1) the conversion of retail and office use to 7,346 square feet of restaurant
use (no late hours) and 2,388 of amenity space, and (2) a type 47 alcohol license at one of the
restaurants and a type 41 alcohol license at the other. The VUE was entitled in 2006 as a
mixed-use development consisting of 27 for-sale residential units, approximately 36,000 square
feet of commercial floor area, and the reconstruction of bulk heads and boat slips on
approximately 2.36 acres.
The CUP would allow up to 2,142 square feet of general restaurant use and 5,204 square feet
of fine dining restaurant use. The remaining 27,989 square feet within the VUE will be
developed with retail and office uses and project amenity space for internal project uses.
The operating hours proposed for the above establishments will be limited to 6:00 am and
10:00 pm, Monday through Wednesday and until 11:00 pm, Thursday through Sunday. It is
anticipated that most retail establishments and restaurants will begin their hours of operation
no sooner than 10:00 am unless the restaurant serves breakfast (no alcohol before 10:00 am).
For the purposes of this analysis, the residential units and their parking supply is not analyzed
in this report. Parking spaces for the residential units are provided in individual garages
consistent with the City's Code. These spaces are controlled by the residential unit
owners/occupants and are not available for shared use by other tenants.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The center includes 156 spaces in a one level underground garage. Additionally, the podium
level of the project includes 27 for-sale residents all of which have their own private garages
with spaces for two vehicles totaling 54 spaces. Two loading spaces are provided on this
level and 10 single space office and retail spaces and 14 tandem office and retail spaces for a
total of 24 spaces for office and retail tenant employees.
1. For the purposes of this analysis, the office and retail spaces on the podium level, and
the residential guest parking spaces will not be analyzed in the shared parking
analysis. The 14 tandem spaces and 10 single spaces for office and retail spaces on
4410JR
Park/ng Consultants
93
the podium level will be assigned spaces for a portion of the office and retail
employees and are not accessible to all retail, office and restaurant employees. For
purposes of the shared parking analysis, the 8 tandem spaces will be assigned to retail
employees, 6 of the tandem spaces will be assigned to the office tenant employees,
and the 10 single spaces will be assigned to office tenant employees.
2. The marina slips located at the VUE will be leased to the residential unit owners and
will not be available for use or lease by the public. Also, no slips will be permitted to
become live aboard boats.
The center map that identifies current buildings and tenant space and parking lot layouts are
shown in the images in Exhibit "A": Ground Level Parking Plan and Vue Newport Garage
Level Parking Layout Plan.
This parking demand analysis evaluates the proposed project, with the conversion of
approximately 7346 square feet of retail and office to restaurant space and conversion of 2388
square feet of retail and office space to residential amenity spaces. This report evaluates the
current approved uses and the proposed 7346 square feet of restaurant space.
Table 1 located at the end of this report, following the Exhibits summarizes the existing
square footages, the proposed land use, and tenant and associated floor areas. The ULI
Shared Parking categories is also listed for each use.
PARKING SUPPLY-DEMAND ANALYSIS
The parking analysis for the VUE involves determining the expected parking needs, based on
the size and type of existing and proposed development components versus the parking
supply.
For this the VUE, there are two appropriate methods that can be used to estimate the site's
peak parking requirements. These methods include:
1. Application of City Parking Code requirements.
2. Application of parking information with the ULI Shared Parking methodology, which
uses proposed uses based on City Code and time of day profiles.
CITY PARKING CODE REQUIREMENTS
To determine the number of parking spaces required to support the proposed VUE and the
proposed changes in use as requested by the CUP, the parking demand was first calculated
using the parking code requirements per the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code— Chapter
20.40, Off-Street Parking, Table 3-10, Off-Street Parking Requirements. The ratios for
determining the required parking is provided on the following page.
Parking Consultants
9-�
• Offices — 1.0 space per 250 square feet net floor area for the first 50,000 square feet.
• Retail Sales— 1.0 spaces per 250 square feet.
• Restaurant— 1.0 space per 30 —50 square feet of net public area.
• Residential Guest Spaces— 14 spaces based on 27 residential units.
Table 2 summarizes the parking requirements for the VUE as per the City's Off-Street Parking
Requirements. As shown, direct application of the City parking ratios to the proposed uses at
the VUE results in a total code parking requirement of 182 parking spaces for the proposed
office, retail and restaurant uses. With a parking supply of 156 garage level spaces, of which
142 are available for retail/office employees and their customers. Thus, a theoretical parking
deficiency of 40 spaces is forecast.
However, the City's code for parking requirements overstates the amount of parking that will
be needed to accommodate the mix of uses for the VUE since there are opportunities to share
parking spaces based on the utilization profile of each land use component as well as the
opportunity for customers to walk-in, bike-in, or boat-in to the site.
ULI SHARED PARKING ANALYSIS
This study uses the hourly parking demand profiles (expressed in percent of peak demand)
utilized for this study and applies to the converted uses stated above and the balance of the
VUE's uses as were approved for the project in 2006 (i.e. existing/proposed land uses — Table
1). These uses are based on profiles developed by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and
published in Shared Parking 2nd Edition (2005). These profiles provide a profile of parking
demand over time. The profiles for retail uses, restaurant (i.e. fine/casual dining restaurant)
and office uses were utilized and their characteristics are described below.
In addition to the ULI Shared Parking profiles, Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., in preparing
the updated traffic analysis for the VUE Newport — Trip Generation Update (dated January 9,
2017) projected a high presence for walk-in (park elsewhere, walk-in pedestrians and
bicyclists) on the peninsula as well as boat-in customers to the project site. Based on their
findings, they anticipated that 10% percent of the retail customer and 10% of the restaurant
customer trips will consist of walk, bike or boat trips rather than auto trips.
For purposes of the shared parking analysis, the 8 tandem spaces will be assigned to retail
employees, 6 of the tandem spaces will be assigned to the office tenant employees, and the
10 single spaces will be assigned to office tenant employees. Thus, the employee counts for
the retail and office counts have been adjusted accordingly in the shared parking analysis.
• For retail uses, peak demand occurs at 1 pm on weekdays and 2 pm to 3 pm on
weekends. The hourly factors shown for retail uses are taken directly from the ULI
Shared Parking Manual. The City's parking code requirement of 1 space per 250
square feet for general retail was utilized. In addition, the retail parking demand
includes a 10% travel mode adjustment for bike, boat and walk-in customers from the
surrounding area. An adjustment was also made for assignment of 8 employees to the
podium level.

• Based on the ULI Shared Parking Manual's analysis, the peak demand for parking the
peak demand between 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm for weekdays and 8 pm on weekends. In
addition, the restaurant parking demand includes a 10% travel mode adjustment for
bike, boat, and walk-in customers from the surrounding area.
• For office uses, the ULI Shared Parking publication indicates that peak demand occurs
at 10:00 am and again at 2:00 pm on weekdays. For the weekend, office use peaks at
11 am. The hourly factors shown for office uses are taken directly from ULI. The peak
demand for the Vue's office tenants occurs at 10 am and 2 pm for weekdays based on
the assignment of 16 employees to the podium level for assigned parking spaces.
Table 3, provides the total parking spaces available for use at the project. The parking space
count includes 156 total available spaces located in the parking garage. Of the 156 spaces for
office/retail/restaurant, 142 spaces are available for customers and unassigned
office/retail/restaurant employees. Only the available 142 parking spaces in the garage will be
utilized in the shared parking analysis. The 14 spaces difference is for residential guest
parking needs.
Additionally, the chart indicates additional spaces available for occupancy and use, which are
not analyzed in the shared parking analysis. These spaces include 12 to 15 spaces which will
be aisle stacked spaces for use in the valet parking area within the parking garage, should
additional spaces be needed for the center. The aisle stacked spaces will only be utilized
should these spaces become necessary for the parking requirements during the peak periods.
It is anticipated that such demand would occur during the evening hours on Friday or Saturday
evening during seasonal peaks. These additional spaces, if needed, and their management
of the spaces will be discussed in the Parking Management Plan.
Tables 4 and 5 present the approach for weekday and weekend parking demand which
applies the City Parking Code for office and general retail uses and ULI time of day parking
profiles for the proposed change in use for fine/casual dining square-footages for the weekday
and weekend day time frame.
Appendix A contains the weekday and weekend day ULI shared parking analysis calculation
worksheets for the proposed uses in the VUE.
PEAK DEMAND ANALYSIS — WEEKDAY AND WEEKEND DAY
As shown in Table 4, the peak parking for the VUE during the typical weekday peak, a total of
127 parking spaces are needed in the garage level and occurs at 1:00 pm. The peak
parking requirement for the VUE during weekend totals 106 parking spaces of the 142
spaces available in the garage level and occurs at 1:00 pm. The weekend analysis is shown
in Table 5.
Based on the shared parking analysis, in the review of Tables 4 and 5, the peak shared
parking demand for the VUE is 127 parking spaces of the 142 spaces available in the garage
level and occurs at 1:00 pm on a typical weekday. Thus, the parking inventory provided and
shown in Table 3 will be adequate for the proposed change in uses requested with this CUP
application.

Appendix A also contains the weekday and weekend day ULI shared parking analysis
calculation worksheets for the VUE.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
1. The VUE is located at 2300 Newport Boulevard. The VUE is a mixed-use center
comprised of 27 residential units and approximately 35,335 square feet of commercial
space. With the conversion of approximately 7,346 square feet to restaurant space,
office space will be 13,901 square feet, and retail space will be approximately 11,700
square feet.
2. The City's parking code requirements for the VUE results in a total code parking
requirement of 182 for office, retail and restaurant space. With a parking supply of 156
garage level spaces of which 142 spaces are available for retail/restaurant/office
employees and their customers. With the proposed uses at the VUE the theoretical
parking deficiency of 40 spaces are forecast.
3. Based on the ULI shared parking analysis, the peak parking demand for a typical
weekday is 127 spaces and occurs at 1:00 pm. The peak demand for a typical
weekend day is 106 spaces and occurs at 1:00 pm.
4. Based on the shared parking demand analysis an adequate supply of parking spaces
will be available for the shared parking demands at the VUE.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Overview
This report provides the parking management plan for VUE Newport("VUE") located in Newport
Beach, California. The VUE includes a mixed-use center made up of office, retail, residential
units and restaurant space. It is located at 2300 Newport Boulevard in Newport Beach.
The VUE includes 156 spaces in a one level underground garage, 78 spaces (includes 54
residential spaces and 24 assigned office and retail spaces) on the podium level of t the VUE.
The VUE includes 27 for-sale residential units all of which have their own enclosed private
garages for parking owner's vehicles. A map that identifies current buildings and parking lot
layouts is shown on Exhibit A for the Podium Level and Garage Level Parking Plans.
This parking plan is designed to maximize the use of all parking spaces located at the VUE.
The parking management plan and operational components are designed to park all tenants
and users on-site, whether those parkers are the residents living there as well as the employees
and customers of the retail, restaurant, office tenants and all their respective guests. The VUE
is located within a prime area of the peninsula of the City. As such, the location will also be a
prime site for beach goers desiring a place to park and enjoy the surrounding areas. This
parking management plan presents an operational plan that provides access and prioritization
to the center's employees, residents and their guests without attempting to provide public
parking for beach patrons. The plan further provides a plan so that center employees are not
forced to park on surrounding neighborhood streets.
The podium level of center will provide parking for assigned and designated parkers to minimize
the volume of vehicles traveling through this level. Residential tenants will have access to the
podium for parking their vehicles in their private garage spaces. A limited number of the retail,
and office tenant employees will also be authorized for parking on this level in the 10-open
single parked spaces and the 14 tandem parked spaces. For the purposes of this analysis,
retail and office spaces will be assigned the spaces on the podium level. Restaurant employees
may be assigned to park on the level on the weekends only if parking occupancy allows for that
employee assignment Additionally, two loading spaces are located on this level and will be
accessible for vehicles making deliveries to the center.
The garage level will provide parking spaces in an open, shared use of the spaces for the
residential guests, and customers and visitors to the commercial tenants of the center.
Additionally, employees of the commercial business tenants who are not assigned spaces on
the podium level will be accommodated with parking in the garage level. The garage level
includes 145 standard spaces, 4 tandem spaces and 7 ADA spaces.
Valet parking, if demand requires that such a service be provided, it will also be provided within
the garage on the south end of the parking garage level only. Valet service will be provided for

visitors and guests only, of the VUE. The inventory of spaces provided for valet parking will be
adjusted based on demand and is expected to flex from daytime to evening use, weekday to
weekend use and off-peak to peak seasonal time periods. There may be time periods when
the demand for valet service is so low, that it may not be offered. Once the VUE is opened and
operational, patterns will be established to know when and how much valet parking will be
needed or if the demand is high enough to offer the service.

PARKING OPERATOR
The parking operator selected to operate and manage all parking for the center for the start-up
period is LAZ Parking. They are a company that provides full services parking management
and operational services for all facets of commercial parking and will provide all parking
management services for the VUE.
PODIUM LEVEL - RESIDENTIAL PARKING, LOADING SPACE AND
ASSIGNED PARKING SPACES
Entrances & Exits
The podium level parking spaces can be accessed from an entrance on the south end of the
VUE from The Arcade. For exiting from this level, parkers may exit the center on the north end
on to Newport Boulevard with a right turn only for exiting the VUE.
Parking Equipment
To manage this level's parking and to restrict access for public vehicles to travel through the
center, the entrance and exits on this level will be controlled with parking access gates for safety
and security reasons. Entry to this level will be limited to authorized parkers—residential tenants
and office and retail employee parkers assigned to this level and for loading and unloading only.
Authorized parkers (8 retail parkers and 16 office parkers; will gain access through
gates with transponders(much like toll road transponders)to minimize entry delays and queuing
of vehicles. Commercial vehicles making deliveries will be able to access podium level to utilize
loading spaces for deliveries via intercom communication or a cell phone call. Once delivery
vehicles are identified and become routine parkers, the will be provided with an access code for
entry to the podium level.
Deliveries will not be allowed in the public right-of-way. The parking attendant monitoring the
entry/exit lanes at the entrance to the garage level ramp will also have a view of the podium
level entrance and will be able to activate the gate for the loading area for commercial vehicles
entering the podium level.
This level also serves as the main entry point for pedestrians to most all commercial spaces -
office space, retail space and restaurants. Thus, this level will be heavily used by pedestrians,
and as such the volume of vehicles using this level needs to be managed and to limit the number
of vehicles for access to the center.
Entries and exits to this level will be controlled via gate transponders issued to residents for
access to their private garages and assigned office (16 designated employees) and retail (8
designated employees) employees to parking spaces on this level.
jr1lR
Parking Consultants
121
No visitors will be allowed to park on this level for safety reasons and to reduce the volume of
vehicles on this level during the VUE's operating hours. As such, no method of entrance/exit
or parking payment will be provided on this level for customers to the center.
All parking access and control equipment is located on private property and is shown in Exhibit
B at the end of this report.
Parking equipment has been carefully vetted and selected to allow speed of entry to avoid
vehicle queuing at entrances. Likewise, equipment has been strategically placed to allow quick
access and with no queuing of vehicles. No access will be provided for vehicles entering the
podium from Newport Boulevard. Operational procedures will further enhance efficient use of
equipment and allow expediting of entry and exit.
Loading Zones
Two commercial loading zones are provided on this level of the center and will be available for
commercial user during operational hours of the center when the commercial areas open for
business.
Commercial vehicles making deliveries will be able to access podium level to utilize loading
spaces for deliveries via intercom access at the entry podium or cell phone connection to the
parking attendant and/or security staff member on-site who will activate the control gates
allowing entry to the podium by vehicles making deliveries. Once delivery vehicles are identified
and become routine parkers, the will be provided with an access code for entry to the podium
level.
Podium Level Parking Operation
Authorized parkers to this level will be residential owners having vehicles to access their garage
and designated office, retail and office employees assigned to park on this level. If space use
allows an additional assignment on weekends due to low employee use, restaurant employees
may also be assigned to this parking in the single space and tandem spaces.
Residential owners will be provided access cards or transponders for the number of spaces
within their own garages. Designated office (16 employees) and retail (8 employees)
employees will be provided similar access cards or transponders for their parking use and
access to the podium level.
Signage
Signage will be provided at each entrance and exit to the podium level indicating the following
• Restricted Use for"Residents and Designated Parkers Only"
• Access information for commercial vehicles making deliveries,
• No Public Parking or Access allowed — Use parking level below, and
• Exit only (for the north end of the center only).

PARKING GARAGE - SELF-PARKING
Entrances and Exits
The parking garage will be accessed by self-parkers through two entrances. The north entrance
is located off Newport Boulevard between the existing Crab Cooker and Woody's Wharf. The
south entrance is from The Arcade located behind the Crab Cooker.
Self-Parking
The self-parking area is located throughout the parking garage level. To maximize use of the
spaces, parking spaces will be available on a first come, first serve basis with no designed
reserved spaces, except or the following areas:
• Two tandem spaces (four spaces total) located on the north end near the entry/exit ramp.
These spaces will be assigned to employees working at the same office, retail, or
restaurant so they will know each other and can work together in accessing the spaces
and shifting vehicles for leaving. On weekends the inside two spaces will be blocked off
or chained off so that visitors do not utilize the spaces and become "blocked" and have
difficulty leaving the center.
• Valet service may be offered if demand if sufficient for offering the service. The valet
area will be provided within the garage on the south end of parking garage level. The
valet plan and location will be discussed in detail later in this report.
The number of self-parking spaces will vary based on whether the valet service is provided and
how many valet spaces are needed based on demand. The range of spaces will always be a
minimum104 spaces up to 156 spaces for self-parkers.
Residential Guests/Visitors
Guests of the residents will be able to access the garage level via entries on Newport Boulevard
and The Arcade by simply pulling an entry ticket upon entry. Each resident will be provided a
set number of exit validation coupons/tickets monthly for their guests visiting their homes. When
the guest leaves the center, they will simply enter their entry ticket followed by the validation
coupon/ticket which will provide exit to the garage.
The Residential Home Owners Association (HOA) board will establish validation use regulations
including the number issued per month, hosted event validation use and overnight guest
validation use. These regulations are subject to approval by the parking garage owner based
on the availability of spaces and volume of use.
From time to time, the HOA and the garage owners may adjust the visitor guidelines to meet
the needs of residents. However, always, the minimum required number of guest parking
spaces will be available for resident guest's use.
Parking spaces will not be designated or reserved within the garage. Guests may park in any
SJR
Parking Consultants
123
space within the garage. This will allow guests to park closest to the stairs and elevators for the
residential unit that they are visiting.
Boat Slip Parking Needs
All boat slips will be leased only to the residential tenants. Additionally, no on-board boat living
will be permitted. Residential unit owners will have their own garage spaces and any guests
that they have joining them on their boats will be accommodated as residential guest parkers
as described above. No slips will be allowed to house live aboard boats.
Parking Equipment
To allow effective management of the garage parking and capture revenue, a Parking Access
and Revenue Control System (PARCS) will be installed at each entrance. The lanes will be
controlled using ticket dispensers in the entry lanes and gate arms in all lanes. Upon entry, a
ticket will be pulled allowing for efficient ingress.
Additionally, each entrance lane to the garage will include a dynamic sign indicating whether
spaces are available or if the facility is "full'. This will minimize, unnecessary queuing at the
garage entrances as well as minimize internal vehicle trips searching for available spaces when
the garage.
The equipment includes computerized space counting algorithms which accounts for vehicle
arriving and leaving, employee parker use and availability and whether spaces are available
within the valet parking area. As parkers leave and spaces become available, the dynamic
signs will change and allow additional vehicles to access the garage and park in available
spaces.
All PARCS equipment provides sufficient (three vehicles per entrance ramp) off-street queuing
for vehicle to enter the garage without backing up onto public streets. Vehicle queuing
analysis, as per industry standards (Parking Structures, Chrest, Smith, M., et.aL, Third Addition,
2001), indicates that with gated entry lanes, more than 425 vehicles per lane may enter a
parking facility. With two garage entry lanes from The Arcade and Newport Boulevard, and
faster operating entry equipment than the 2001 standard, an adequate queuing design is
provided for the ramps into the parking structure. With today's entry, operating standards for
parking access equipment performance, the cycle for gate equipment is less than 7 seconds
per entry as compared to 12 to 16 seconds in 2001. With only 156 spaces, in a one level
garage,the queuing analysis and loading time for vehicles entering the garage will be adequate.
Signs will also be installed that will indicate that no queuing and waiting for availability of parking
spaces will be allowed outside the parking facility.
Any parker, who enters the garage at either location by mistake and wishes to leave will be able
to leave without charge within a 12-minute grace period. This grace period will allow drivers to
enter the garage and circulate to either exit ramp and re-insert the entry ticket for exiting without
charge.
Finally, the parking operator will monitor with a parking attendant at the entry and exit lanes
which are located next to each other to ensure that vehicle queuing is not occurring on public
streets.

Parking equipment has been carefully vetted and selected to allow speed of entry to avoid
vehicle queuing at entrances. Likewise, equipment has been strategically placed to allow off-
street queuing of vehicles. The equipment placement plan for all equipment is shown on Exhibit
B, Parking Equipment Placement Plan at the end of the report.
Pay Stations
The parking facility will be equipped with automated equipment at each exit and two Pay-on-
Foot (POF) stations to be located near the main elevators and stairs exiting the parking facility
on either end of the parking garage level.
Through a coordinated signage program, visitors will be encouraged to take their entry ticket
with them. Customers will pay just prior to exiting at one of the two POF stations provided on
the garage level of the VUE. Payment options at the POF will include cash, credit cards, and
debit cards.
Upon payment of the parking ticket, an exit ticket will be issued, which will simply need to be
inserted into an exit machine installed in all the exit lanes. Once the exit machine verifies
parking fees have been paid, the gate arm raises to allow the vehicle to exit. If a balance is
due, the visitor will have the option to pay with credit/debit card. Should the visitor require
assistance, they will interact with an attendant located at the exit gate to complete the
transaction. Should intercom system be used, they are supported via cell phone connection to
an attendant who is always on-duty with the operator to resolve parking issues via cell phone
activation of whatever the needed transaction requires.
Visitors will be encouraged to pay for their parking prior to exiting the garage at one of the POFs.
The POFs will accept cash, credit, debit, and validations. At the exit, the equipment will only
accept credit cards, debit cards, and validations for payment. Typically, it is recommended to
only accept cash and dispense change at the POFs and not in the exit lanes to minimize
transaction times and maintain an acceptable Level of Service for exiting the garage.
Customer Service Ambassadors
During peak periods, we anticipate staffing Customer Service Ambassadors (CSAs) at the
entry/exit lanes to help expedite the process and provide support as needed to allow far efficient
ingress and egress and to minimize queuing within the garage for exiting.
Although the equipment will be automated and visitors will be encouraged through a sign
program to pay in advance at one of the POFs, some visitors may approach the exit and not be
prepared to pay with a credit or debit card. In those cases, the CSAs will be equipped with pre-
loaded value cards compatible with the PARCs system. The CSA can then manually calculate
the parking fee and collect cash payments. They will then vend the gate using their card.
Revenue reconciliation and audit processes ensure all revenue is accounted for.
Customer service ambassadors will assist customers/parker at the ingress lanes to assist with
expediting entry to avoid vehicle queuing onto the public right of way. They will be positioned
on the garage level ramps and assist guests with entering the garage by pulling entrance tickets,
issuing entrance tickets and or activating the gates to expedite entry.

PARKING GARAGE - VALET PARKING
Valet parking services will be located within the parking garage on the south end of the garage
near The Arcade entrance. The location for the valet parking is located within the garage in the
southwest corner of the garage level near the pedestrian stairwell and elevator. Valet
operational hours will be from 11 am to 10 pm daily initially and will be adjusted to meet the
demand for valet service as required. Hours may be adjusted depending on the demand for
valet service during the year. For instance, valet service may not be needed during the off-peak
season (September to May) during lunch hours. Thus, valet service may not need to begin until
later in the afternoon.
Once valet service is stabilized and the inventory of spaces is established, valet attendants
typically, place traffic cones and/or plastic tape or changes in spaces to reserve spaces for the
valet operation the night before if the service is offered during the lunch time hours. Valet
services during lunch hours is typically smaller in operation than an evening or weekend service
thus, the number of spaces needed may be smaller, thus a fewer number of valet spaces are
needed.
If the valet service does not begin until the evening hours, expands for evening hours, or aisle
stacked parking is offered, a transition plan is always in place to provide additional parking
spaces in the valet area.
The transition plan is managed in this manner:
• The parking equipment as described in the parking equipment plan above, will indicate
when the garage is full, so the likelihood of needing or using aisle stacked parking is
marginal. To allow more vehicles into the garage than there are spaces for will require
a parking manager to adjust the software system to allow the car counts to be increased
for vehicle inventories higher than the number of spaces. Such action will be judiciously
cautiously managed and implemented insuring that the garage maintains a high level of
service for its patron. No parking operation is successful when unrestricted access of
vehicles is allowed for entering a garage. That kind of a situation, creates excessive
internal circulation, excessive searching for an available space, creates air quality issues
within the garage, and frustration for all users.
• Valet attendants arriving prior to the opening of the valet service, will cone-off parking
spaces as they are vacated by self-parkers in the valet area.
• Should in the rare instance that aisle stacking occurs, valet attendants will maintain keys
for the aisle stacked vehicle and can move a vehicle to allow a self-parker to exit a
space. If that occurs, the valet attendant, then re-parks the valet vehicle in the vacated
parking space, thus shifting the aisle stacked vehicle into a marked space. This
methodology of shifting aisle stacked vehicles to regular marked spaces occurs
throughout the valet operation, is intentional to reduce the parking impacts as quickly as
possible and to have aisle stacked vehicles for as short of a time as possible.
• The traffic flow on this end of the garage will shift to a one-way flow, which further insures
that that parking circulation allows ease of use of parking.
SJR
Parking Consultants
120
• If valet aisle stacked parking ever occurs, a maximum of 42 marked spaces and an
additional capacity of aisle-stacking of no more than 11 vehicles will be provided. Signs
will be set-up to temporarily indicate that that portion of the garage will be for "valet
parking only".
The valet greeting area, valet vehicle storage spaces, and if needed, aisle-stacked parking
plans are shown on Exhibit C Valet Parking Plan and Aisle Stacked Valet Parking Plan at
the end of the report. All other parking spaces located in the garage are available as self-
parking areas.
Valet signs will be located at entrances to the garage providing information and directional path
of travel so that guests may find and utilize valet parking services.
Valet spaces will be operational as self-parking spaces anytime the valet service is not
operational or should the service be discontinued due to lack of demand.
If valet vehicles are remaining stored in the valet area when the garage closes, valet keys will
be transferred to on-site security so that valet parkers may gain access to their own vehicles
(with valet ticket a proof of ownership of the vehicle) for leaving the garage.
Greeting Zone
The Greeting Zone or valet staging area will be located near the stairwell and elevator within
the garage area. This greeting area will have the capacity to hold three (3)vehicles at any one
time. Dropped off vehicles are relocated to valet parking spaces as quickly as possible so that
additional vehicles may be queued in the drop-off/pick-up area. Since the number of restaurants
and size of the restaurants is low, the three-spaces vehicle queuing is adequate for this sized
center.
All vehicles will be received and retrieved at this greeting location within the garage. No vehicles
will be accepted or returned to the podium level of the center or on surrounding streets.
Vehicles will be stored in parking spaces located on this end of the parking garage near the
valet greeting area. A valet attendant will drive the vehicle from the Greeting Zone to the vehicle
storage area within the parking garage. The drive pattern is within the parking layout plan and
is very efficient for retrieval time and the circulation pattern fits within the parking layouts of the
garage, especially since the traffic flow at this end of garage will be a one-way travel loop
Valet Parking — Guest Experience (Valet Drop —Of)
The following is the process for greeting guests who choose to utilize the valet zone:
• Guest is greeted by a Valet Ambassador in the Greeting Zone.
• The Valet Ambassador is trained for customer service and will use guest services
practices
• Guests will be greeted within 15 seconds and will personally express a warm welcome.
• Valet attendants are trained to make eye contact with each guest to establish a human
level of connection and trust with the guest.
JIFIR
Parking Consultants
227
• The valet attendants are trained to ask for the guest's name upon arrival and will use
their name at least once on the way in and on the exit. They also are trained to introduce
themselves by name during the initial greeting.
• They are also trained to anticipate a need/ask a helping question upon arrival and at
exit.
The guest is issued a valet claim check and given retrieval instructions, including the option to
text ahead for their vehicle.
The guest then leaves the Greeting zone and proceeds to their destination within VUE Newport.
Valet Parking — Guest Experience (Vehicle Pick-up/Return)
The following is the process for guests to retrieve their vehicle from the valet zone:
• The Guest either texts ahead or returns to the Greeting Zone and presents their valet
claim check to the Valet Attendant or Valet Ambassador.
• The Valet Attendant completes the payment for parking/valet service and collects
payment from the Guest. The Valet system also allows the Guest to complete the
payment transaction from their smart phone if an account has been set-up. This method
of payment is often used for frequent valet parkers.
• The Valet Attendant retrieves the guest's keys, runs to the vehicle storage location, and
returns the vehicle to the guest in the Greeting Zone.
• The Valet attendant opens all doors for guests, thanks the guest by name and hands
the driver the vehicle keys.
• The Valet attendant also provides the Guest with an exit ticket for exiting the garage.
• The Guest departs in their vehicle and proceeds to the exit gates on The Arcade and
inserts their exit ticket for activating the exit gate to the garage.
Flash Valet
To operate the valet as efficiently as possible, minimize guest wait times, and maximize each
guest's experience, the parking operator will utilize the Flash Valet technology for management
of the Valet System for all valet services.
This system not only offers the Valet operator with a full management system for valeting
vehicles, it offers an expedited service for busy guests who will have the luxury of having their
vehicle ready for leaving when they are. With Flash Valet, guests can request their vehicle by
text and pay from their phones or at the valet stand with any major credit card or PayPal.
The system will further provide a simple stored account for the Valet parker which further
expedites their next visit and increase the customer service experience, because Valet
Attendants will know the parker by name upon their arrival.
Valet Storage
The Valet vehicle will be stored within proximity to the Valet Greeting area. Laz Parking will be
utilizing a set number of spaces depending on the time of day and day of week that the
�3R

122
valet service is operating and the volume of demands for valet service. This maintains the valet
vehicles within a short distance of the greeting area and providing short retrieval times for
returning vehicles.
The transition from parking space use from self-parking to valet parking was explained
previously in valet parking section on pages 7 and 8
During the rare peak parking demand periods, valet attendants may also aisle stack vehicles
within the valet parking area on the south end of the parking facility. A range of 12 to 15 vehicles
may be parked in the drive aisles with the valet parking area (shown on Exhibit C).
Aisle stack parking will be managed in the following manner:
• A self-locking key box will be located on a wall or column near where vehicles are to be
aisle stack parked. Keys are stored in these boxes for vehicles that are parked in the
aisles.
• When a blocked-in vehicle is requested, the valet attendant will retrieve the keys for the
vehicle in the aisle stacked area from the key box location where the vehicle is parked.
• The aisle stacked vehicle will be pulled out and re-parked in a neighboring stall and the
keys returned to the key box with the new space number location noted on the valet
ticket.
• The valet attendant will return the valet requested vehicle to the valet guest as noted
above and return an aisle stacked vehicle to the vacated parking space.
• When a regular space is vacated, one of the aisle stacked vehicles is relocated to the
marked spaces to reduce or eliminate vehicles being parking in the aisles.
• Vehicle keys will be locked in the locking key boxes at all times.
LOADING ZONES / OPERATIONAL COMPONENTS
The podium level includes two loading areas which will be used for commercial loading (including
residential deliveries, UPS, FedEx) needs for the center. The podium loading area will be
available for loading purposes throughout the day at the center.
As described earlier in the report, access to the podium level will be from The Arcade entrance
and may be accessed by commercial vehicles via the intercom when they approach the entry
podium or via cell phone call to the number provided at the entrance (answered by the parking
attendant or security person on duty for these responses). Once delivery vehicles are identified
and become routine parkers, the will be provided with an access code for entry to the podium
level.

MOBILITY - BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN AND BOAT
In addition to providing parking for vehicles, VUE Newport expects to have a number of guests
arriving by other means and forms of mobility. These include guest arrivals via bicycles, walking
and boat up/Duffy boat up to the docks provided in the middle of the center of the VUE.
Bicycles/Bike Racks
VUE Newport will provide bike racks for storage of 42 bikes. The storage will be provided in
bike racks that will be located around the Center for guest and employee use. The bike rack
locations on the podium level are shown in Exhibit D Bicycle Rack Storage Plan at the end
of this report. Additional bike racks will be provided within the parking structure for employee
use. The location for these bike racks will be in locations where parking spaces are not available
such as the corners of the garage.
Pedestrian Circulation
The overall design and layout of the property makes it very walkable for pedestrians.
Additionally, guests arriving and parking at other locations in the area and on-street may choose
to enter the Center from a variety of locations. The Pedestrian Circulation Plan is provided in
Exhibit E Pedestrian Circulation Plan at the end of the report.
Boat Access
Lastly, the marina access and boat slips are expected to accommodate access for additional
guests to the restaurants and commercial retail sales unit at Vue Newport. Boat slips make up
19 locations for boats and approximately six to seven locations are available for the docking of
Duffy boats. While the boat slips will be exclusively leased to residential unit owners only, a
couple of slips will provide boat up dock service for guests visiting the center to experience the
restaurants and retail stores or other amenities.

Attention: Matthew Fogt, Esq
Allen Matkins Leck Gamble Mallory & Natsis LLP
1900 Main Street, 5th Floor
Irvine, CA 92614-7321
Dear Mr. Fogt,
Reference: VUE Newport-Trip Generation Update
In 2005 a Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) and environmental analysis was prepared for the
2300 Newport Boulevard residential/retail project in the City of Newport Beach. At that time, the
land uses for the project consisted of residential, retail, and office uses and the trip generation was
based on these assumptions. Restaurant uses would be allowed under a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) but were not expressly analyzed at that time.
The project is now under construction and is proposed to include 7,346 square feet of food service
uses to replace a comparable portion of the retail and office uses.This letter addresses the
change in trip generation as a result of including restaurant space in this mixed use project.
APPROVED PROJECT TRIPS
The approved project consists of 27 dwelling units, 16,700 square feet of office space, and 19,300
square feet of retail space. While the project was approved for 36,000 square feet of commercial
floor area, only 35,335 square feet was actually built. Trip generation for the approved project's
traffic study was based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) "Trip Generation,
7th Edition".The 2005 traffic analysis estimated that the project would generate 1,259 average
daily trips (ADT).
PROPOSED PROJECT TRIPS
The current proposed project would not change the total square footage of the development;
however, 7,346 square feet of food service uses would replace an equivalent amount of retail and
office space. Of these food service uses, 2,142 square feet would be general casual/family dining
space (similar in concept to Pieology, MOD Pizza, Pizza Press, Burger Lounge, and HopDoddy
Burger Bar), and 5,204 square feet would be fine dining restaurant space (similar in concept to The
Cannery, Bluewater Grill, and Bandera). Additionally, 2,388 square feet of non-traffic generating
amenity space for tenants would be provided (uses such as storage, etc.), as listed in Table 1 on
the following page.

Certain adjustments are typically applied to trip generation estimates to reflect unique site and
location characteristics. For mixed-use projects, adjustments are made to account for trips
between the various uses on site, referred to as "internal capture". For projects in areas with
access to different modes of travel, such as walking and biking, adjustments are made to reflect
travel by means other than by automobile. Also, for trip purposes that are frequently made in
conjunction with another type of trip, such as stopping at a shopping center while on the way
home from work (referred to as "pass-by trips"), adjustments are made to avoid double counting
the number of vehicles on the roadway. Each of these adjustments are applicable to the VUE
project and are discussed in greater detail below.
Internal Capture
When a project includes a mix of complementary uses, such as residential combined with office,
retail and restaurants, a certain number of trips will occur between the on-site uses, thereby
reducing the number of trips added to the roads surrounding the site (e.g., a resident can walk to
a restaurant on-site instead of driving elsewhere). The ITE Trip Generation Handbook includes a
methodology that is based on case studies of mixed-use developments to estimate internal
capture. For this project, the ITE methodology was applied to the proposed mix of land use, which
determined specific internal capture amounts for each land use type (see attached worksheet
titled Multi-Use Development Trip Generation Calculation Sheet). Overall, the ITE methodology
estimates that approximately 13 percent of the total project trip generation would be captured
on-site due to the complimentary mix of uses provided by the project.

Walk/Bike/Boat Trips
Visitors and residents of this area of Newport Beach are very active and many use non-automobile
modes of transportation for local trips.As such, there is a high presence of pedestrians and
bicyclists on the Peninsula. At the project site, a dock is also being provided to allow patrons to
boat to the retail and restaurant uses.This project is being marketed to take advantage of the
many alternative transportation choices present in the area.Therefore, many of the retail and
restaurant trips can be expected to be walk, bike, or boat to the project site.
A similar type of project was recently approved in the Lido Marina Village area which accounted
for walking and boating trips. For the Lido Marina Village parking study, a 10 percent reduction
was applied to the retail and restaurant uses to reflect the walk-in customers. An additional 5
percent reduction (15 percent total) was also applied to the restaurant uses to reflect the boat-in
customers. While the Lido Marina Village study was focused only on parking, it is reasonable to
assume that walking and boating reductions would have a comparable effect on trip generation.
The proposed VUE project similarly facilitates access by walking and boating, and a slightly more
conservative 10 percent reduction was applied to the retail and restaurant uses in this study to
account for the project's walking, biking and boating trips.
Pass-by Trips
The proposed retail and restaurant uses will attract a certain number of patrons who are driving by
the site on the adjacent roadway for a primary purpose other than stopping at the project site.
These are referred to as pass-by trips, an example of which is a person who stops at a retail store
on the way home from work or a person who stops at a restaurant on the way to another
destination.
The proportion of trips attributable to pass-by is documented in various sources.The previously
referenced ITE Trip Generation Handbook includes typical pass-by percentages for many types of
uses, but only for the peak hours of adjacent street traffic. Pass-by percentages for total daily
traffic are documented in the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Traffic
Generators report, a common industry standard source for trip generation data. Table 2 on the
following page summarizes the applicable daily pass-by trip percentages as listed in the Traffic
Generators report.

Table 2 Pass-by Trip Percentages (Examples)
Average Daily
Land Use Type Pass-by% Source
Office 4% SANDAG Standard Commercial Office
Retail 15% SANDAG Commercial Shops (Specialty retail
Fine Dining 12% SANDAG Restaurant Quality
General Restaurant 12% SANDAG Restaurant Sit-down, high turnover
For the purpose of this analysis, trip generation estimates are calculated using the pass-by
percentages recommended in the SANDAG Traffic Generators report as listed above. Following is
a discussion of the trip generation calculation.
Trip Generation Estimate
A trip generation analysis has been prepared using ADT trip rates from the ITE Trip Generation
Manual.The ITE manual includes a daily trip generation rate (i.e., ADT rate) for each of the
proposed uses.The ITE Trip Generation Handbook contains internal capture rates for the proposed
mix of uses and the SANDAG Traffic Generators report contains pass-by trip rates for the retail and
restaurant uses. A prior Newport Beach study,with adjustments by City staff, provides estimates of
walking, biking, and boating trip percentages.
Table A-1 (attached) applies the internal capture reductions,walk/bike/boat adjustments, and
the pass-by trip rates as discussed above to the 2005 approved project.Table A-2 (attached)
provides the comparable calculation for the proposed project.
Table 3 on the following page summarizes the results of the trip generation analysis, and compares
the number of project trips to the number of trips originally estimated for the project in 2005, as
well as the number of trips to be generated by the approved project when applying a consistent
trip adjustment methodology. As shown, the proposed project, which now includes restaurant
uses, would generate fewer daily traffic trips than what was originally estimated in 2005 for the
project site. When applying the current methodology for internal capture, walk/bike/boat trips,
and pass-by reductions to both the approved and the proposed project, the analysis shows that
the net volume of proposed project trips would be 295 ADT higher than the approved project.

In summary, the analysis shows that the difference between the proposed project and the 2005
approved project would be 295 more daily vehicle trips generated by the proposed project.
