A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING USE PERMIT NO. 2004 -007 FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 849 NEWPORT CENTER DRIVE (PA2004-
045)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY
FINDS, RESOLVES AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, an application was filed by Ozumo Newport, LLC with respect to
property located at 849 Newport Center Drive, and legally described as Lot 18 of Tract
No. 6015, requesting approval of a Use Permit to allow a permitted restaurant to operate
with a Type 47 (On -Sale, General, Eating Place) Alcohol Beverage License.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on May 20, 2004, in the City Hall Council
Chambers, at 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time,
place and purpose of the aforesaid meeting was given. Evidence, both written and oral,
was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at this meeting.
WHEREAS, the site is designated Retail and Service Commercial by the General
Plan Land Use Element and zoned PC District 35 (Fashion Island Planned Community).
Restaurants with accessory alcohol service are permitted uses within these
designations.
WHEREAS, the proposed location of the alcoholic beverage outlet and the
proposed conditions under which it will be operated and maintained, is consistent with
the purpose and intent of Chapter 20.89 of the Municipal Code (Alcoholic Beverage
Outlets Ordinance); will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals,
comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of
such use; and will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or
to the general welfare of the City for the following reasons:
1. The Use Permit pertains to the on -site consumption of alcoholic beverages in
conjunction with a permitted restaurant to be operated within a building that is
designated and zoned for this activity. The use has been conditioned to minimize
the impacts associated with the sale of alcoholic beverages. The plans, as
conditioned, meet the design and development standards for alcoholic sales.
2. The convenience of the public can be served by the sale of desired beverages in
conjunction with a full - service, fine dining restaurant that is complementary to the
surrounding uses within Fashion Island. Alcohol service is typical and expected
by the public in a full - service, fine dining restaurant setting.
3. The crime rate in the police reporting district and adjacent reporting districts is
not likely to increase as a result of the proposed use.

4. The number of alcohol licenses within the report districts and adjacent reporting
districts is not significantly high given the nature of the land uses in the district
and when compared with County -wide data.
5. The percentage of alcohol - related arrests in the police reporting district in which
the project is proposed is lower than the percentage citywide. Accessory on -site
consumption of alcoholic beverages is not expected to increase alcoholic related
crime.
6. There are no sensitive uses such as residences, day care centers, schools, or
park and recreation facilities in the vicinity of the project site.
WHEREAS, the project has been reviewed, and it qualifies for a categorical
exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1 (Existing
Facilities).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves
Use Permit No. 2004 -007, subject to the Conditions set forth in Exhibit "A."
Section 2. This action shall become final and effective fourteen days after the
adoption of this Resolution unless within such time an appeal is filed with the City Clerk
or this action is called for review by the City Council in accordance with the provisions of
Title 20 Planning and Zoning, of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 20th DAY OF May 2004.
