ESTABLISHMENT LOCATED AT 2318 NEWPORT BOULEVARD
(PA2011 -055).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS,
1. An application was filed by Martin Potts on behalf of the Woody's Wharf Restaurant, with
respect to the property located at 2318 Newport Boulevard, and legally described as Lots 6,
7, and 8, Section A Newport Beach, Block 223, requesting to amend the existing use
permit to change the operational characteristics of an existing restaurant.
2. The applicant filed an application requesting the following changes in the operational
characteristics of the existing restaurant: 1) to extend the opening hour from 11:00 a.m. to
10:00 a.m., daily; extend the closing hour of the existing outdoor dining area from 11:00
p.m. to 2:00 a.m., daily; 2) to accommodate patron dancing in the interior of the restaurant,
nightly; 3) to amend the requirement for full -time valet parking service during restaurant
operating hours, to only require valet services on an as- needed basis (to accommodate
special events and holiday peak use); and 4) to approve a waiver of up to 6 parking spaces
that results from the addition of patron dancing and eliminating valet parking service on a
full time basis. The application will also eliminate conditions of approval that are duplicative
and /or otherwise outdated, as requested by the applicant.
3. The subject property is located within the Mixed Use — Water Related Zoning District (MU-
W2) and the General Plan Land Use Element category is also Mixed Use — Water Related
District (MU -W2).
4. The subject property is located w ithin the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan
category is Mixed Use —Water Related District (MU -W).
5. The increased occupancy of the outdoor dining area caused by the removal of tables and
chairs, as proposed, without the introduction of any noise mitigating apparatus or
construction is anticipated to result in increased noise levels that will adversely impact
nearby properties and residential occupants.
6. The extension of the closing hour for the outdoor dining area to 2:00 a.m. in conjunction with
the increased occupancy of the main dining room and the outdoor dining area, as proposed,
is anticipated to result in noise levels that promotes a change in the operational
characteristics that results in a change from restaurant to a bar /nightclub that will adversely
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1898
Conditional Use Permit No. UP2011 -010
Page 2 of 14
impact nearby properties and residential occupants into the late night hours, and is not a
compatible activity for the neighborhood.
7. The current parking requirement is one (1) parking space for every 40 square feet of net
public area. The net public area proposed is 1,589 square feet; therefore the parking
requirement is 40 spaces. There are 26 spaces on -site (with 6 tandem spaces available
only with the valet parking service) and 10 spaces annual in -lieu spaces, and a credit of 4
spaces for the boat docks is granted, for a total 40 parking spaces allocated to the use.
8. A public hearing was held on November 8, 2012, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300
Newport Boulevard, 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.
9. The removal of tables and chairs within the main dining room to accommodate patron
dancing will result in a change in operational characteristics of the restaurant converting the
use to a bar /nightclub, which is not compatible with the surrounding properties or uses, and
will be detrimental to the general welfare of the residential occupants in the neighborhood.
10. There is no previous approval for patron dancing in conjunction with the existing restaurant
use, and therefore there is no basis or entitlement for the continued use of patron dancing
or to allow for the introduction to the existing restaurant use.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under the requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1- Existing Facilities.
2. This exemption applies to existing facilities where it can be demonstrated the project
involves negligible or no expansion of the existing use. The change in hours of operation
or addition of patron dancing does not involve an expansion or intensification of the
existing use. Additionally, the change in the provision of valet parking services on an as-
needed basis is consistent with the previous restaurant operations prior to acquisition by
the current applicant.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with Sections 20.48.030, and 20.52.020 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code,
the following finding and facts in support of such finding is set forth:

the Zoning Code.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1898
Conditional Use Permit No. UP2011 -010
Paoe 3 of 14
Facts in Support Finding
A -1. The project has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure that the purpose and intent of
Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the Zoning Code is maintained and that a healthy
environment for residents and businesses is preserved. The service of alcoholic
beverages is intended for the convenience of customers of the restaurant. Operational
conditions of approval recommended by the Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD)
relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages will ensure compatibility with the surrounding
use and minimize alcohol - related impacts.
A -2. Pursuant to Chapter 5.25 of the NBMC, the operator, as well as any future operators, is
has been conditioned to require that the applicant, as well as any future operators, to
obtain an Operator License to ensure the establishment is operated in a safe manner and
compatible with the neighborhood.
A -3. The subject property is located within a mixed use district developed primarily with
commercial uses. Across the Rhine Channel, the closest residential district is
approximately 570 feet away. To the north, the closest residential use is approximately
200 feet away and residential uses associated with the future South Coast Shipyard
Project will be approximately 100 feet away. To the west, the nearest residential uses are
230 feet away; and to the north the nearest residential uses are approximately 200 feet
away. The nearest park is the public beach adjacent to the West Ocean Front Boardwalk
over 650 feet from the subject property. There are no day care centers, recreation
facilities, places of religious assembly, or schools in close proximity to the subject
property.
In accordance with Section 20.52.020 of the Zoning Code, eating and drinking establishments
classified as "Food Service, Late Hours" require the approval of a conditional use permit within
the Mixed -Use Water Related (MU -W2) Zoning District. In accordance with Section 20.52.020.F
of the Zoning Code, the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Finding:
B. The us e is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of Finding:
B -1. The Mixed -Use Water Related (MU -W2 and MU -W) land use designations of the General
Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan are intended to encourage water related uses intermixed
with general commercial, visitor - serving commercial and residential uses. The operation
of a "Food Service, Late Hours" use with alcoholic beverage sales is consistent with the
purpose and intent of this land use designation.
B -2. Food service uses are expected to be located in commercial areas, and are
complementary to the existing commercial and residential uses in the area. Such uses
are frequented by visitors, tenants of the nearby commercial uses, and residents alike.
B -3. The subject property is not part of a specific plan area.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1898
Conditional Use Permit No. UP2011 -010
Page 4 of 14
Finding:
C. 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:
C -1. The subject property is located in the Mixed Use —Water Related Zoning District (MU -W2),
and eating and drinking establishments classified as "Food Service, Late Hours" require
the approval of a conditional use permit.
C -2. As conditioned, the project will comply with Zoning Code standards for eating and
drinking establishments. Conditions are included related to on -sale alcoholic beverage
activities, including the training of personnel, and the provision of security personnel while
live entertainment is offered.
C -3. Pursuant to Chapter 5.25 of the NBMC, the project has been conditioned to require the
applicant, and any future operator of the eating and drinking establishment, to obtain an
Operator License from the Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) in order to
maintain operating hours beyond 11:00 p.m., and to extend the closing hour of the
outdoor dining area to Midnight on Friday and Saturday, as proposed.
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:
D -1. The project has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure that potential conflicts with the
surrounding land uses are minimized to the extent possible to maintain a healthy
environment for both residents and businesses.
D -2. The removal of table and chairs from the outdoor dining area, as proposed without the
introduction of any noise mitigating apparatus or construction, not only increases the
number of patrons both inside and outside but is also anticipated to result in increased
noise levels that will adversely impact nearby properties and residential occupants, with
the outside noise levels having the greatest impact on the neighbors.
D -3. The dancing activities are anticipated to result in an increase in the number patrons
entering and exiting the building and thereby exposing the increased noise levels of the
interior and the noise generated by the live entertainment and /or dancing to the
surrounding area.
D -4. The extension of the closing hour to 2:00 a.m. in conjunction with the increased
occupancy of the outdoor dining area, as proposed, is anticipated to result in noise levels
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1898
Conditional Use Permit No. UP2011 -010
Page 5 of 14
that will adversely impact nearby properties and residential occupants into the late night
hours, and is not a compatible activity for the neighborhood.
D -5. The application as presented has not proposed alternatives or improvements to the
existing glass barriers to mitigate existing noise issues and complaints to justify an
increase in the closing hour of the outdoor dining area. Therefore, maintaining the current
closing hour of 11:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and Midnight on Friday and
Saturday nights is required to mitigate and limit that impact, as recommended by staff in
the attached conditions of approval. In order to further reduce the potential impact on
neighboring properties, a condition of approval is required to prohibit recorded music or
other types of sound amplification within the outdoor dining area at all times.
D -6. The design and construction materials of the outdoor dining patio (existing glass walls)
aid to minimize noise from emanating from this area, but are not adequately effective in
controlling noise as evidence by noise complaints received by the Police Department and
the correspondence received. As conditioned, the limited hours of use of the outdoor
dining area to 11:00 p.m. is appropriate in this case to alleviate noise related issues and
complaints that cannot be otherwise mitigated. That the approval to allow for a closing
hour of Midnight on Friday and Saturday nights is appropriate in this particular case since
the outdoor area is restricted to use for dining only and not an extension of the bar
activities. Additionally, conditions of approval require the doors exiting the building to the
outdoor dining area to remain closed whenever live entertainment is performed inside the
building, except in the case when persons are entering and exiting the building. The
hours of the outdoor area are appropriate since no physical barriers have been proposed
to aid in further mitigating noise levels that are anticipated to rise if occupancy is
increased, as proposed by the applicant.
D -7. The location of the valet parking pick -up and drop -off area is shielded from the
residences by the restaurant building, thereby mitigating noise impacts from this activity
to residential uses across and along the Rhine Channel.
D -8. Adequate number of parking spaces are available on -site and the valet parking service
serving the nighttime operation will prevent traffic backing up onto Newport Boulevard.
The waiver of a portion of the on -site parking caused by the elimination of the valet
parking service during daytime hours of the operation is offset by the lower parking
demand for the use based upon on -site observations and the availability of the municipal
parking lots in the vicinity. The use of the valet parking service when live entertainment
occurs and on an as- needed basis in the evening will maximize on -site utilization of the
parking lot and in the case that the lot is full, parking is available in the municipal metered
parking lot across the street (the meters are not in effect after 6:00 p.m. daily). Therefore,
the waiver of 6 parking spaces for the daytime and nighttime operational periods as
proposed is reasonable in this particular case.
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.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1898
Conditional Use Permit No. UP2011 -010
Pape 6 of 14
Facts in Support of Finding:
E -1. This is an eating and drinking establishment that has existed in this location since the
1960's. The project site has proven to be physically suitable in size to accommodate the
restaurant use.
E -2. The project site is located on Newport Bay between 24th and 26th Street overlooking the
Rhine Channel and is surrounded by similar commercial uses located to the north (next
door), and the northwest of the use. This is an appropriate location for an eating and
drinking establishment. The restaurant use is complementary to the existing commercial
uses in the area, as well as convenient to serve the residential uses located to the north
and east across the Rhine Channel in relation to the project site.
E -3. The Traffic Engineer has previously reviewed the configuration of the parking lot, as well
as the valet parking plan, and has determined the parking lot design functions safely and
does not prevent emergency vehicle access to the establishment.
E -4. The site is currently served by public services and utilities.
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.
Facts in Support of Finding:
F -1. The project has been reviewed and appropriately conditioned to ensure the continued
operation of the existing eating and drinking establishment as a restaurant, and not as a
bar /nightclub, will not be detrimental to the community.
F -2. An increase in pedestrian and vehicular activity from patrons using the outdoor dining
area during late night and early morning hours will not occur with the closing hour of
11:00 p.m. or Midnight, as recommended in this approval by staff. Since the applicant
has not presented any additional physical barriers or other improvements to mitigate
existing or anticipated increase in noise levels associated with increased number of
patrons on the outdoor dining area.
F -3. The applicant has operated the existing eating and drinking establishment in this location
since 2002, and is required to proactively control noise generated by patrons of the
restaurant. The operator will be required to obtain an Operator License from the NBPD in
order to accommodate the proposed closing hour of Midnight on Friday and Saturday
nights for the outdoor dining area. The Operator License will provide for enhanced control
of noise, loitering, litter, disorderly conduct, parking /circulation, and other potential
disturbances resulting from the existing establishment, and will provide the NBPD with
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1898

means to modify, suspend, or revoke the operator's ability to maintain late -hour
operations if objectionable condition occur.
