Irvine Company is interested minor revisions to the use permit for 2523 Eastbluff Drive to allow its continued use as a full-service restaurant. We are seeking these
revisions in advance of leasing this now vacant space. As you are aware, until its
closure in early 2020, Bistro Le Crillon operated for over 20 years as a full-service, small-scale eating and drinking establishment with alcoholic beverage service under Use Permit 3651. We are proposing the space be operated in much the same manner with the following changes: 1) removal of the 20 customer indoor seating
limit and 2) expansion of the outdoor patio dining area to 619 square feet. As
proposed, the space would encompass 1,553 square feet of indoor space including areas for seating, kitchen, food storage, coolers and restrooms, as well as the 619-square-foot patio.
1. What is the proposed use? Ie. Coffee shop, full restaurant, etc. We are proposing
to maintain a full restaurant. 2. Operational characteristics? Ie. Hours of operation, alcohol service, etc. We anticipate the restaurant being open approximately 10 am to 10 pm, though we proposed to leave the hours of operation consistent with the existing use permit; 6 am to 12 midnight, daily. We propose a continuation of the full-alcohol service
under the existing use permit. 3. What is the existing and proposed square footage of the use? Existing/approved: 1,585 gross square feet of interior space and a 128-square-foot exterior patio Proposed: 1,553 gross square feet of interior space and a 619-square-foot exterior patio.
4. How many parking spaces are requested to be waived? Seven parking spaces were allocated to the restaurant through Use Permit 3651. Based on a restaurant parking ratio of 1/100sf, the proposed interior of the restaurant would require 15.53 spaces and we calculate the patio as requiring maximum of 3.6 spaces for a total of 19.16 spaces. Less the seven approved spaces, we believe the
requested parking waiver is for 12.16 parking spaces (Note: This is not rounded up as this use is part of an overall retail center). As indicated in the accompanying parking study, during the peak parking demand period there is a 108-space parking surplus in the Eastbluff Village Center.
CNB MC or separate
development standard?
How was this calculated?
