REDUCTION LOCATED AT A GROCERY STORE LOCATED AT
1660 SAN MIGUEL DRIVE (PA2015-214)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by Mark Motsenbocker representing Gelson's Supermarket
(Applicant), with respect to property located at 1660 San Miguel Drive, and legally
described as Parcel 2 of Parcel Map No. 35-01 (Resubdivision No. 284), being a portion
of Block 93, of Irvine's Subdivision per Map recorded in Book 1, Page 88, Miscellaneous
Record Maps, Records of Orange County, California, requesting approval of a
conditional use permit.
2. The Applicant proposes a conditional use permit to allow the establishment of a new
food service (restaurant) at an existing grocery store, Gelson's. The restaurant would
operate with a Type 41 (On-Sale Beer and Wine, Eating Place) Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) license and a Type 86 (Instructional Tasting) license. The Applicant
requests an adjustment of the required parking and authorization of an off-site parking
agreement pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Chapter 20.40. The
food service includes a 636-square-foot interior net public area and a 700-square-foot
outdoor dining patio.
3. The subject property is located within the CN (Commercial Neighborhood) Zoning District
and the General Plan Land Use Element category is CN (Neighborhood Commercial).
4. The subject property is not located within the coastal zone.
5. A public hearing was held on September 22, 2016, and November 3, 2016, in the
Council Chambers 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. The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2034
Page 2 of 19
Structures). This Section exempts the construction and location of limited numbers of
new, small facilities or structures (up to 10,000 square feet in area) and the conversion
of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications
are made to the interior or exterior of the structure.
2. The project involves the conversion of a portion of an existing grocery store for a food
service use (636 square feet) and the addition of a 700-square-foot outdoor dining
patio within the common area of an existing, neighborhood shopping center. The
scope of work falls below the thresholds identified under the Class 3 exemption and no
special circumstances such as environmentally sensitive resources are present.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.48.030(C)(3) (Alcohol Sales), the Planning
Commission must make the following finding for approval of a new alcoholic beverage
license:
Finding:
A. The use is consistent with the purpose and intent of NBMC Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol
Sales of the Zoning Code considering the criteria provided in NBMC Section 20.48.030
(C)(3)(a)-(e)
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The purpose and intent of NBMC Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) is to maintain a
healthy environment for residents and businesses. Alcohol service is intended for the
convenience of customers dining at the restaurant, which is proposed to be located
within and accessory to an existing grocery store.
2. The subject property is located in a shopping center that is intended to serve the
surrounding residential neighborhoods. The business hours, operational
characteristics, and floor plan have been limited so as to maintain the compatibility of
the proposed use with surrounding land uses.
3. The project site is located in Reporting District (RD) No. 53, which includes the Harbor
View Hills Community to the northeast and is bounded by San Joaquin Hills Road, San
Miguel Drive, and Spyglass Hill Road. Based upon 2015, crime statistics provided by
the Newport Beach Police Department, the part one crime rate in RD 53 was 1,287
crimes per thousand persons. This rate is slightly higher than two adjacent reporting
districts (RD 47 @ 971 crimes per thousand and RD 51 @ 971 crimes per thousand)
and lower than RD 52 with 1,506 crimes per thousand. The part one crime rate in RD
53 is lower than the citywide average of 2,739 crimes per thousand persons.
4. Based upon 2015, statistics provided by the Newport Beach Police Department, RD 53
had zero DUI/Drunk Arrests, 8 other arrests and 945 Calls for Service that included
items other than alcohol-related calls. These statistics are lower than RD 47 and 52
11-03-2016
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2034
Pane 3 of 19
and slightly higher than RD 52. From January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015,
the Police Department reported 77 calls for service to the shopping center for various
reasons including parking/traffic, medical aid, theft, and code violations. Of the 77 calls
for service, four were alcohol-related calls for persons drunk in public. The Police
Department does not anticipate the rate of alcohol-related calls to change significantly
with the approval of the project.
5. Residential uses are located immediately adjacent to the shopping center to the
southeast and across the street to the north, east, and west. The nearest place of
recreation, Lincoln Athletic Center and San Joaquin Hills Park & Lawn Bowling Center,
are located approximately 430 feet to the southeast. The nearest church and daycare,
Lutheran Church of the Master and Pacific Shores Day Care, are located
approximately 880 feet to the northeast of the subject property across Pacific View
Drive. The nearest school, Lincoln Elementary School, is located approximately 850
feet to the east. The area is considered a low-crime community in the City and the
Police Department is not concerned that the use will generate an increase in the crime
rate based upon the location, operational characteristics, and conditions of approval.
6. The draft resolution includes conditions of approval to avoid and minimize potential
negative impacts to surrounding land uses and ensure that the use remains
compatible with the surrounding community.
7. The applicant currently possesses the Type 86 ABC license and currently operates
with no objectionable conditions. The requested Type 41 ABC license would be a new
license and is not in response to objectionable conditions occurring at the site.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.40.100(B) (Off-Site Parking), the following findings are
must be met to authorize off-site parking to satisfy required parking:
Finding:
B. The parking facility is located within a convenient distance to the use it is intended to
serve;
Fact in Support of Finding:
The Applicant has had a month-to-month lease for an off-site parking located at 3100
Pacific View Drive (a church property) since 1999. The location is approximately a
1,000-foot walk along public sidewalks and a painted cross walk across Pacific View
Drive. These parking spaces are not available on Sundays or other religious holidays.
Other private parking lots at churches are located in the vicinity and are a similar
distance from the project site. These other lots could also be potential sites for an off-
site parking facility should parking at 3100 Pacific View Drive be unavailable in the
future.

Finding:
C. On-street parking is not being counted towards meeting parking requirements,-
Fact
equirements,Fact in Support of Finding:
On-street public parking spaces including, but not limited to, those parking spaces on
Crown Drive and Pacific View Drive are not counted towards meeting the off-street
parking requirement.
Finding:
D. Use of the parking facility will not create undue traffic hazards or impacts in the
surrounding area; and
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Applicant's peak employee staffing needs is approximately 40 employees and not all
employees arrive and depart the facility at the same time.
2. The parking facility is not located near residential uses. The path of travel for employees
between the off-site lot and the project site will not generate undue impacts to nearby
uses due to the limited number of employees over time with differing shifts.
3. The Applicant's employees have been utilizing the off-site parking lot at 3100 Pacific
View Drive for approximately 17 years and have not created an undue traffic hazard or
serious impacts to other uses that abut or use Pacific View Drive.
Finding:
E. The parking facility will be permanently available, marked, and maintained for the use it is
intended to serve.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. Forty (40) parking spaces shall be provided for employee parking at an off-site, private
lot by a lease or other binding private agreement (required off-site parking).
2. The required off-site parking shall be located within a convenient distance to the
project site as determined by the Director of Community Development (Director). On-
street parking shall not be included and use of the required off-site parking shall not
create an undue traffic hazard or impacts to the surrounding area as determined by
the Director in consultation with the City Traffic Engineer.
3. The required off-site parking shall be provided and permanently maintained for
employee parking as long as the use authorized by Conditional Use Permit No.
UP2015-048 remains effective.
11-03-2016
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2034
Page 5 of 19
4. A parking agreement or covenant, in a form approved by the City Attorney and the
Community Development Director, that guarantees the availability of the required off-
site parking at an approved off-site location shall be recorded with the County
Recorder's Office against the subject property. The agreement or covenant shall
require the owner or operator of the project to immediately notify the Community
Development Director of any change of ownership or use of the property where the
required off-site parking is located, or changes in the use or availability of the required
off-site parking, or of any termination or default of the agreement between the parties.
Upon notification that the private lease agreement for the required off-site parking has
terminated or the required off-site parking is otherwise unavailable for the use
authorized by Conditional Use Permit No. UP2015-048, the Community Development
Director shall establish a reasonable period of time in which one of the following shall
occur: 1) Substitute parking is provided that is acceptable to the Director; or 2) the size
or intensity of use authorized by Conditional Use Permit No. UP2015-048 is reduced in
proportion to the parking spaces lost; or 3) the owner or operator of the project must
obtain a parking reduction pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code Section
20.40.110 rendering the required off-site parking unnecessary.
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 Sundays and major religious
holidays:
Finding:
F. 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. Parking within Harbor View Shopping Center includes a 281 space shared surface
parking lot. All of these spaces are within a convenient distance to the businesses they
serve.
2. Harbor View Shopping Center provides several retail and food service tenants within
close proximity of one another, which generates the opportunity for shared trips and
results in reduced parking demand. The proposed food service establishment is an
accessory use of the grocery store. Primary access to the proposed food service area
occurs from the interior of the grocery store and the majority of patrons are likely to be
patrons of the grocery store. As a result, the parking demand for the new food service
is likely to be less than it would be if it were operating as a separate business.
3. The parking utilization analysis prepared by Pirzadeh & Associates, Inc. dated August
4, 2016, shows the existing 281-space parking lot can accommodate predicted
increase in parking demand for use without accounting for Gelson's employees. On-
11-03-2016
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2034
Page 6 of 19
site parking utilization would increase to roughly 88 percent. Employee parking would
not be accommodated on Sundays and major religious holidays based upon the
existing lease for off-site parking with the church located at 3100 Pacific View Drive.
Employees would park on-site, at Lincoln Elementary School or Pacific View Drive and
would be prohibited from parking along Crown View Drive. The parking analysis shows
the peak demand is during the week (Thursdays) and not on Sundays. Therefore on-
site parking availability on Sunday would be lower than Thursdays and allow some
employees to park on-site. Additionally, Gelson's indicates that number of employees
would not increase as existing employees would be trained to work the both the
restaurant and market. The combination of on-site parking and nearby public parking
at Lincoln Elementary and Pacific View Drive will accommodate the proposed use on
Sundays and major religious holidays when parking at the church would not be
available.
4. The applicant has been providing an off-site parking facility for employee parking since
1999 at a nearby property located approximately 1000-feet away. The off-site parking
facility is at a church and the parking spaces are not available on Sundays or other
religious holidays. Public parking along Pacific View Drive and at Lincoln Elementary is
generally available when parking at the church is not available because the school is
not open for instruction on Sundays or other major religious holidays. The permanent
provision of off-site parking for the applicant's employees at the church or other nearby
lot is necessary to ensure that on-site parking is available to the project and other
patrons and employees of the shopping center and to avoid employee parking in
proximity to residents that could create nuisances.
Finding:
G. A parking management plan (PMP) shall be prepared in compliance with NBMC
Subsection 20.40.110(C) (Parking Management Plan).
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. A PMP dated October 25, 2016, has been prepared for Gelson's operating at the
Harbor View Shopping Center. The PMP provides for effective management of
employee to ensure adequate parking on Sundays and major religious holidays when
parking is not available at the Christian Science Church located at 3100 Pacific View
Drive. A condition of approval requires implementation of the PMP. The PMP is also
attached to this resolution and incorporated herein by reference.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.52.020(F) (Conditional Use Permit, Findings and
Decision), the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Finding:
H. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan.
11-03-2016
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2034
Page 7 of 19
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the properties at Harbor View
Shopping Center as CN (Neighborhood Commercial), This designation is intended to
provide for areas appropriate for a limited range of retail and service uses developed
in one or more distinct centers oriented to serve primarily the needs of and maintain
compatibility with residential uses in the immediate area. The proposed wine and
tapas food service would be a part of an existing grocery store that serves the
surrounding residential communities and would be consistent with this land use
designation and zoning district.
2. The Circulation Element Goal 7.1 (Parking) is to ensure that an adequate supply of
convenient parking is available throughout the City. Providing off-site parking in
accordance with NBMC 20.40.100 and the parking reduction in accordance with
NBMC 20.40.110 will ensure that adequate parking is provided for the project.
3. The project site is not located within a Specific Plan area.
Finding:
I. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other
applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Land Use Element of the General Plan and Zoning Code designates the
properties at Harbor View Shopping Center as CN (Commercial Neighborhood). This
designation is intended to provide for areas appropriate for a limited range of retail and
service uses developed in one or more distinct centers oriented to serve primarily the
needs of and maintain compatibility with residential uses in the immediate area. The
proposed wine and tapas bar would be a part of an existing grocery store that serves
the surrounding residential communities and would be consistent with this land use
designation and zoning district.
2. The existing development at Harbor View Shopping Center provides 0.31 FAR and
complies with the maximum 0.5 Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The proposed renovation of
the existing structures will not result in increases to the existing gross floor area and
resulting FAR.
3. The proposed off-site parking is consistent with NBMC Section 20.40.100
(Adjustments to Off-Street Parking) and the facts in support findings .and parking
reduction and PMP are consistent with NBMC Section 20.40.110 (Adjustments to Off-
Street Parking Requirements) based upon the findings contained within this resolution
and implementation of the conditions of approval.
4. Improvements are largely interior to the existing grocery store and the exterior patio
complies with all setbacks and building regulations. The proposed patio does not block
11-03-2016
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2034
Page 8 of 19
pedestrian access within the shopping center or any parking spaces based upon the
proposed improvement plans,
Finding:
J. The design, location, size, operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the
allowed uses in the vicinity.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The existing neighborhood shopping center has been in operation for many years and
the proposed restaurant with outdoor patio will be accessory to the existing grocery
store. Other small scale food uses are provided in the shopping center and common
outdoor dining areas are provided in the common area of the shopping center. The
hours of operation of the use would be limited to 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
2. The proposed outdoor patio is within a common area within the center of the shopping
center and the existing buildings and parking area effectively shield the use and patio
from nearby residential uses.
3. The proposed outdoor dining patio does not block pedestrian circulation, parking
spaces, or access to existing tenants based upon the proposed improvement plans.
4. The establishment will comply with NBMC standards for food service uses with alcohol
service. The establishment is expected to help the grocery store compete
economically with other high-end grocery stores in the area.
5. The off-site parking and parking reduction will allow for the food service with alcohol
service consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code in an orderly way while
ensuring that parking demands are met over time without avoiding undue parking on the
streets to the detriment of the neighborhood.
Finding:
K. 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 facts in support of Finding J above support this finding and are incorporated by
reference.
2. Emergency access to and through Harbor View Shopping Center is currently provided
from San Joaquin Hills Drive, San Miguel Drive, and Pacific View Drive. Fire access
driveways and fire hydrants are currently provided and have been reviewed and
11-03-2016
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2034
Page 9 of 19
approved by the City Traffic Engineer and Fire Department as being safe, convenient
and adequate to provide public and emergency vehicle access.
3. Harbor View Shopping Center is presently served by public services and utilities and
the overall renovation of the site involves very limited intensification that can be
accommodated by existing public and private services and utilities.
4. The design of the improvements will comply with all Building, Public Works, and Fire
Codes, and the food service use will be reviewed by the Orange County Health
Department prior to the issuance of building permits.
Finding:
L. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the
harmonious and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise
constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general
welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The facts in support of findings A through K above support this finding and are
incorporated by reference.
2. The proposed use is small and is primarily within an existing grocery store. The proposed
outdoor patio is shielded by the existing building parking lot from residences in the area.
3. The hours of operation of the proposed restaurant are limited to 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
and are typical hours of operation of a neighborhood-serving shopping center.
4. The project includes conditions of approval to ensure that potential conflicts with the
surrounding land uses are minimized to the greatest extent possible. The operator is
required to take reasonable steps to discourage and correct objectionable conditions that
constitute a nuisance within the facility, adjacent properties, or surrounding public areas,
sidewalks, or parking lots, during business hours, if directly related to the patrons of the
district.

PARKING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Gelson's Harbor View Shopping Center
Parking Management Plan
1660 San Miguel Drive
UP2015-048 (PA2015-214)
November 3, 2016
The following Parking Management Plan for Gelson's grocery store and its accessory
restaurant, located at 1660 San Miguel Drive is provided pursuant to Section 20.40.100 (Off-
Site Parking) and Section 20.40.110 (Adjustments to Off-Street Parking Requirements) of the
Zoning Code. The Parking Management Plan will employ the following management
mechanisms and requirements to mitigate impacts associated with a reduction of the off-
street parking spaces required for the accessory restaurant.
Hours of Restaurant Operation
11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., daily
On-Site Parking
A minimum of 281 parking spaces shall be provided within the common surface parking lot
for Harbor View Shopping Center and made available to patrons and employees.
Captive Market and Reduced Parking Demand
1 . Harbor View Shopping Center provides several retail and food service tenants within
proximity of one another generating the opportunity for on patron to visit multiple uses
thereby reducing parking demand and vehicle trips to the center.
2. Gelson's restaurant is an accessory use of the grocery store. Primary access occurs from
within grocery store and the majority of patrons are likely to be patrons of the grocery
store.
3. The location of nearby uses within walking distance of one another generates the
opportunity for walk-in patronage.
Off-Set Peak Hours
Peak hours for the restaurant are expected to occur in the late afternoon and early evening
hours whereas the peak parking demand within the shopping center typically occurs during
the lunch hour at 1:00 p.m., as demonstrated by the Parking Utilization Analysis prepared on
August 4, 2016, by Pirzadeh & Associates, Inc.

Off-Site Employee Parking
The applicant (Gelson's) or their successor shall secure and provide a minimum of 40 off-
street parking spaces at a property located on Pacific View Drive for employee parking.
Access to the spaces shall be secured by a written agreement. A copy of the written
agreement shall be submitted to the Community Development Department (Department). The
location of the off-street parking lot is subject to the review and approval of the Department. If
access to the off-site private parking is lost for whatever reason, the applicant shall
immediately inform the Department. Upon notification that the private lease agreement for the
required off-site parking has terminated or the required off-site parking is otherwise
unavailable for the use authorized by Conditional Use Permit No. UP2015-048, the Director
shall establish a reasonable period of time in which one of the following shall occur: 1)
Substitute parking is provided that is acceptable to the Director; or 2) the size or intensity of
use authorized by Conditional Use Permit No. UP2015-048 is reduced in proportion to the
parking spaces lost; or 3) the owner or operator of the project must obtain a parking reduction
pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 20.40.110 rendering the required off-site
parking unnecessary.
Employee Parking Restrictions
Employees may park on-site when peak parking demand for the shopping center is not
experienced. Otherwise, employees shall park at a designated private parking lot in the
vicinity. Parking along Pacific View Drive and at Lincoln Elementary School are allowed
locations for employees to park when the approved private parking lot is not available
provided the Newport Mesa School District allows said use of their property. Employee
parking along Crown Drive and all residential streets that take access from Crown Drive is
strictly prohibited.
