Zoning Administrator:
Please see attached from a City of Newport Beach conditional approval 41 years ago. As a
neighbor who has watched many restaurants come and go in the restaurant space now going tobe occupied by Chipotle Mexican Grill, it is very important to keep the provision highlighted:
“THAT EMPLOYEES OF THE RESTAURANT FACILITY SHALL PARK ON-SITE AT
ALL TIMES”
Without this provision, restaurant employees use the scarce and very limited street parking fortheir vehicles for 8-9 hour blocks of time which significantly inconveniences neighbors who
go in and out all day. This provision needs to be implemented and monitored by the Chipotlerestaurant manager on duty. If Chipotle customers use street parking, no problem as they only
using spaces for an hour or two maximum.
Requiring any and all employees of Chipotle Mexican Grill to park on-site is both consistentwith City of Newport Beach past operating requirements and also good common sense and a
very reasonable and logical current requirement for Chipotle Mexican Grill’s Conditional UsePermit.
See you on Zoom this thursday, april 15th, 10:00am PST.
