A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. UP2017-028 FOR A FOOD
SERVICE, EATING AND DRINKING ESTABLISHMENT WITH
LATE HOURS AND A TYPE 41 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
CONTROL LICENSE LOCATED AT. 2121 WEST BALBOA
BOULEVARD (PA2017-198)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
An application was filed by Christian Fanticola/T&T Taco, LLC ("Applicant") with respect to
property located at 2121 West Balboa Boulevard, and legally described as Lot 14 in Block
21 of Newport Beach, County of Orange, State of California, as per Map recorded in Book
3, Page 26 of Miscellaneous Maps ("Property"), in the office of the County Recorder of said
County requesting approval of a conditional use permit.
2. Applicant proposes a conditional use permit for a food service, eating and drinking
establishment with late hours and Type 41 (On Sale Beer and Wine) Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) license in an existing legal nonconforming eating and drinking
establishment. The eating and drinking establishment includes an interior dining area, a
kitchen, restroom facilities, and a take-out window. The proposed hours of operation are
from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m.
3. The subject Property is located within the Mixed -Use Water Related (MU -W2) Zoning
District and the General Plan Land Use Element category is Mixed -Use Water Related
(MU -W2).
4. The subject Property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan
category is Mixed -Use Water Related (MU -W). A coastal development permit is not
required because the request is to change the type of permitted Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) license and does not intensify or expand the existing eating and drinking
establishment use.
5. A public hearing was held on March 22, 2018, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 100 Civic
Center Drive, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the
meeting was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC").
Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning
Commission at this meeting..
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-012
Paae 2 of 15
of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect
on the environment.
2. The Class 1 exemption includes the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing,
licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical
equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use. The
proposed allows the existing eating and drinking establishment to continue operating
with the upgrade from a Type 40 (On Sale Beer Only) ABC license to a Type 41 (On
Sale Beer and Wine).
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with NBMC Subsection 20.48.030(C)(3) (Alcohol Sales), the following findings
and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Findin.g:
A. The use is consistent with the purpose and intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of
the Zoning Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
In finding that the proposed use is consistent with NBMC Section 20.48.030, the following
criteria must be considered:
i. The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as compared to other
areas in the City.
The subject property is located in Reporting District 15 (RD 15). The Part One Crimes
(Part One Crimes are the eight most serious crimes defined by the FBI Uniform
Crime Report — homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny -theft,
auto theft, and arson) crime rate in RD 15 was 288 crimes reported in 2016, which
is higher than adjacent reporting districts and the Citywide average. The higher crime
rate is largely due to the number of visitors to the Balboa Peninsula, the high
concentration of restaurants, and the high ratio of non-residential to residential uses
clustered in the commercial and mixed-use districts. The McFadden Square areas
has historically been a business and recreation hub for residents and tourists,
drawing a large number of visitors year-round but particularly in the summer months.
While the area does have a high concentration of alcohol licenses, the proposed
change from a Type 40 (On Sale Beer Only) to Type 41 (On Sale Beer and Wine)
will not increase the number of alcohol licenses. The service of alcoholic beverages
would provide additional menu options for customers and could enhance the
economic viability of the business, while the CUP and Operator License will provide
greater enforcement options.
2. The Police Department has reviewed the proposal, provided operating conditions of
approval, and has no objection to the change of alcoholic beverage license, subject
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-012
Paae 3 of 15
to appropriate conditions of approval. The operation of the establishment includes
the approved floor plan with no separate bar counter, business hours that are more
restrictive than the current unrestricted hours and the requirement to obtain an
Operator License. The Operator License provides an additional tool for the Police
Department to control the use, especially should objectionable activities occur at the
site.
ii. The numbers of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting district
and in adjacent reporting districts.
RD 15 has a higher number of DUI/Drunk Arrests, Total Arrests, and Calls for Service
recorded in 2016 compared to adjacent reporting districts. From January 1, 2016
through December 31, 2016,,the tenant space was occupied by Original Pizza and
the Police Department reported four calls for service at the address. The Police
Department has reviewed the application and has no objection. The Police
Department does not anticipate any increase in crime or alcohol-related incidents
with the approval of this application subject to the proposed conditions of approval.
iii. The proximity of the establishment to residential zoning districts, day care centers,
hospitals, park and recreation facilities, places of worship, schools, other similar uses, and
any uses that attract minors.
The project site is located in a mixed-use zoning district which allows for residential
uses when intermixed with nonresidential uses. The nearest residential zoning
district is located approximately 315 feet east of the project site, at the corner of West
Balboa Boulevard and 21st Street. The nearest residential 'units are located on the
second floor above the restaurant.
2. The nearest recreational facilities, the beach and the Newport Pier, are located
approximately 300 feet to the southwest of the subject property. The nearest church,
Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, is located approximately 0.5 miles to the east of
the subject property along West Balboa Boulevard. The nearest school, Newport
Elementary School, is located 0.7 miles to the east of the subject property along
West Balboa Boulevard. The nearest daycare center, Children's Center by the Sea,
is approximately 0.6 miles to the east along West Balboa Boulevard. The proposed
use is surrounded by other commercial, retail, and office uses.
3. The Balboa Peninsula is generally characterized by a high number of visitors, in
which commercial and residential zoning districts are located in close proximity to
one another and eating and drinking establishments with alcohol service are
common. The proposed change in ABC license type in conjunction with the CUP and
Operator License conditions of approval, where none currently exist, will help
minimize nuisances that the restaurant could have to surrounding uses and ensure
that the use remains compatible with the surrounding community.
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-012
Paae 4 of 15
iv. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off-site or on-
site consumption.
The per capita ratio of one license for every 69 residents is higher than all adjacent
Census Tracts and the average City-wide ratio. This is due to the higher
concentration of commercial land uses, many of them visitor -serving, in McFadden
Square, Lido Marina Village and Cannery Village, and lower number of residential
population in the RD 15 area. Nearby establishments selling alcohol include the
Stag Bar + Kitchen, 21 Oceanfront, Dory Deli, Beach Ball, Blackie's and several
others located in the McFadden Square area.
2. While the license -to -resident ratio is higher than average and proposed
establishment is located in close proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic
beverages, staff believes the physical and operational characteristics of the
restaurant would make the continuation of alcoholic beverage sales appropriate at
this location.
v. Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable conditions.
No objectionable conditions are presently occurring at the site.
2. The existing tenant space was vacant since between early 2017 and December 2017
when Taco Bell Cantina opened. In addition to interior and facade improvements, the
building was brought into compliance with all current Building and Fire Code
requirements.
3. The restaurant is currently a legal non -conforming use and when renovations are and
is allowed open and operate in the configuration show on the attached plans, including
the take-out window. The nonconforming status also allows the operator to hold a
Type 40 (On Sale Beer Only) ABC license and operate 24 hours, daily, where the
proposed hours are 6 a.m. to 2 a.m.
4. All employees serving alcohol will be required to be at least 21 years of age, and
undergo, and successfully complete, Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) training.
Approval of this application will require the operator to obtain an Operator License
pursuant to Chapter 5.25 of the NBMC. The Operator License will provide enhanced
tools to control noise, loitering, litter, disorderly conduct, parking/circulation and other
potential disturbances that could result from the use, and will provide the Police
Department with means to modify, suspend, or revoke the operator's ability to maintain
late -hour operations.
In accordance with Subsection 20.52.020(F) (Findings and Decision), the following findings
and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-012
Page 5 of 15
X- -•w
B. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of Finding:
The General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan land use designation for this site is MU -W2
(Mixed -Use Water Related). 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 eating and drinking
establishment is consistent with this land use designation. Eating and drinking
establishment uses can be expected to be found in this area and similar locations and are
complementary to the surrounding commercial and residential uses.
2. Although the existing structure in which the eating and drinking establishment is located
exceeds the allowed floor area ratio, the proposed application will not result in an increase
in the floor area. The project is consistent with the Land Use Element development policies
and related non -conforming regulations.
3. The proposed expansion is consistent with General Plan Land Use Policy LU6.8.2
(Component Districts) which emphasizes that McFadden Square should be utilized as one
of the primary activity centers on the Balboa Peninsula. The use of a food service, eating
and drinking establishment in a location previously occupied by a food service, eating and
drinking establishment for over 50 years will continue to serve residents and visitors to the
area.
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 building in which
the eating and drinking establishment is located is currently undergoing interior and
exterior upgrades consistent with general plan policies.
5. The subject property is not part of a specific plan area.
C. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other
applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and the Municipal Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
The MU -W2 (Mixed -Use Water Related) zoning district 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. Eating and drinking
establishments classified as Food Service, Late -Hours require the approval of conditional
use permit within the MU -W2 (Mixed -Use Water Related) Zoning District.
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-012
Page 6 of 15
2. An eating and drinking establishment with a Type 40 (On Sale Beer Only) ABC license
has been operating at this location since 1963 without the benefit of a use permit. The
recent re -model of the eating and drinking establishment did not increase the net public
area nor patron seating. The change to a Type 41 (On Sale Beer and Wine) ABC license
constitutes the addition of a menu item and does not intensify the use of the property.
3. The Property does not provide on-site parking, however, the tenant space is legal non -
confirming related to parking. The tenant improvements were allowed by the zoning
code because the net public area and seating did not increase beyond the historical size
of the eating and drinking establishment. The change of ABC license does not require
.additional parking. The McFadden Square area, served by the two adjacent municipal
lots and the close proximity to multiple commercial uses and beach and coastal
recreation areas, will result in shared trips to the eating and drinking establishment.
4. The existing take-out window located adjacent to the McFadden Place parking lot is a
legal non -conforming component of the existing eating and drinking establishment. A
condition of approval have been included to help ensure a path of travel is maintained
for all sidewalk users.
5. The existing building and recent alterations (no expansion of floor area) were allowed by
Section 20.38.040 (Nonconforming Structures) of the Zoning Code and Land Use Element
policies that allow the continued use of principal structures that exceed the allowed FAR.
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:
The operation of the eating and drinking establishment will be restricted to business hours
between 6 a.m. and 2 a.m., daily, where the existing nonconforming eating and drinking
establishment use is allowed to operate twenty-four (24) hours daily. The proposed closing
hour is compatible with other late night eating and drinking establishments in the area. The
limitation on operating hours will improve compatibility with the second floor apartments
located in the mixed-use building. The Newport Beach Police Department has reviewed
the proposed application and does not object to the proposed business hours.
2. An eating and drinking establishment has been operating in this location without the
benefit of a conditional use permit since 1963. Conditions of approval limiting the hours
and use of take-out window will help ensure compatibility with the commercial and
residential uses is maintained.
3. The approved floor plan provides a new interior dining area with improved restroom
facilities, a kitchen area, and a take-out window. Live entertainment and dancing are not
proposed or allowed without the approval of a special event permit.
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-012
Paae 7 of 15
4. The project includes conditions of approval to ensure that potential conflicts are
minimized to the greatest extent possible. Although the proposed eating and drinking
establishment is located in a mixed-use building, the tenant space has historically been
occupied by an eating and drinking establishment. The McFadden square area is a
popular local and tourist destination that helps create a vibrant mixed-use environment,
historically associated with nightlife and late hour establishments. The added restriction
on hours will ensure the eating and drinking establishment closes at the same time as
other late hour establishments. The operator is also required to control trash and litter
around the subject property.
5. The operational conditions of approval recommended by the Police Department relative
to the sale of alcoholic beverages, including an Operator License, will help ensure
compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol related impacts. The
project has been conditioned to ensure the welfare of the surrounding community.
6. The Property is located in a relatively dense area with multiple uses within a short
distance of each other. The McFadden Square area is conducive to a significant amount
of walk-in patrons. The area experiences parking shortages in the daytime during the
summer months, but parking is typically available during the rest of the year. Two
municipal parking lots and on -street parking is available in the area to accommodate the
proposed use in the off-season months.
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:
The project site is located within an existing commercial building and the tenant space
is designed and developed for an eating and drinking establishment. The design, size,
location, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood. The existing tenant space on the subject property has historically been
occupied by an eating and drinking establishment. Access to the site is provided on 22nd
Street and McFadden Place via West Balboa Boulevard.
2. The continued use of the take-out window will not inhibit the public use of the adjacent
sidewalk and conditions of approval have been included to ensure the patrons using the
take-out window do not block or restrict use of the sidewalk.
3. Adequate public and emergency vehicle access, public services, and utilities are
provided to the Property. All required utility and building upgrades were reviewed and
approved during the plan check review of the recent tenant improvements.
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-012
Paae 8 of 15
4. The tenant improvements were reviewed for compliance with all Building, Public Works,
and Fire Codes, as well as compliance with all City ordinances and conditions of
approval.
—_.
F. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the
harmonious and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise
constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare
of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
Facts in Support of Finding:
The project has been reviewed and includes conditions of approval to ensure that potential
conflicts with the surrounding land uses are minimized to the greatest extent possible. The
operator is required to take reasonable steps to discourage and correct objectionable
conditions that constitute a nuisance in parking areas, sidewalks, and areas surrounding
the subject property and adjacent properties during business hours, if directly related to
the patrons of the establishment.
2. The recent improvements to the existing eating and drinking establishment should have
a positive impact on the area and may promote further revitalization of commercial
properties located in McFadden Square. The eating and drinking establishment will
serve the surrounding community and visitors.
3. The eating and drinking establishment is not allowed to operate as a bar, tavern, cocktail
lounge, or nightclub as defined by the NBMC.
4. The eating and drinking establishment will provide dining with alcohol service, a public
convenience to the surrounding neighborhood and visitors to the area. This will help to
revitalize the project site and provide an economic opportunity for the property owner to
continue to upgrade and maintain the existing mixed-use building, which best serves the
quality of life for the surrounding visitor- and local -serving community.
5. The eating and drinking establishment is currently allowed to operate twenty-four (24)
hours daily without the benefit of a use permit or operator's license. The conditions of
approval and requirement to obtain and operator's license will provide a greater
enforcement mechanism should the eating and drinking establishment become a
nuisance or operation in manner detrimental to the surrounding residents and
businesses.
