Zdeba, AICP, Principal Planner 949-644-3253, bzdeba@newportbeachca.gov LAND USE AND ZONING •General Plan Land Use Plan Category: Mixed-Use Horizontal (MU-H4) •Zoning District: Mixed-Use Cannery Village and 15th Street (MU-CV/15TH ST) •Coastal Land Use Plan Category: Mixed-Use Horizontal (MU-H) •Coastal Zoning District: Mixed-Use Cannery Village and 15th Street (MU-CV/15TH ST) PROJECT SUMMARY A request to operate a small 10-seat private dining room in conjunction with an existing restaurant, ARC Butcher & Baker, located at 417 30th Street. The proposed use would replace the existing ARC Bottle Shop and would remove the Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License. The private dining room would serve food and alcohol using ARC Butcher & Baker’s existing Type 41 (On-Sale Beer & Wine – Eating Place) and Type 58 (Caterer’s Permit) ABC Licenses. The operating hours would be from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., daily. If approved and implemented, this Minor Use Permit would supersede Minor Use Permit No. UP2021-003. RECOMMENDATION 1)Conduct a public hearing; 2)Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and 3)Adopt Draft Zoning Administrator Resolution No. _ approving a Minor Use Permit (Attachment No. ZA 1). 1 ARC Private Dining Room (PA2022-105) Zoning Administrator, March 16, 2023 Page 2 Tmplt: 01/18/23 DISCUSSION •The subject property is located on the northeastern corner of 30th Street and Villa Way within Cannery Village on the Balboa Peninsula. The property is developed with a two-story mixed-use building and on-site parking consisting of four parking spaces for the nonresidential tenant space and two garage spaces for the residential unit above. Mixed-use development generally surrounds the site, and a public parking lot is located to the southwest. Other uses nearby include personal service uses and eating and drinking establishments. •The proposal will occupy an existing ground-floor nonresidential tenant space of a mixed-use building with a private dining room. The dining room would operate similarly to an eating and drinking establishment land use. There will be no expansion of floor area and minimal changes to the existing floor plan. The hours of operation will be limited to between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m., daily. A more detailed description provided by the applicant and is attached as Attachment No. ZA 3. •The property is designated by the Zoning Code and the Local Coastal Implementation Plan as Mixed-Use Cannery Village and15th Street (MU-CV/15TH ST), which applies to areas where it is the intent to establish a cohesively developed district or neighborhood containing multi-unit residential dwelling units with clusters of mixed-use and/or commercial structures on interior lots of Cannery Village and 15th Street on the Balboa Peninsula. The proposed project will occupy the ground-floor nonresidential tenant space of an existing mixed-use structure. •The proposed use requires the approval of a minor use permit pursuant to Table 2-8 of Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section 20.22.020 (Mixed-Use Zoning Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements). •The ground-floor tenant space is approximately 660 square feet and is occupied by ARC Bottle Shop, a retail sales use. The current parking requirement is one parking space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area or three spaces. The proposed private dining room will maintain 150 square feet of net public area with a single dining table and no more than ten seats. Section 20.40.060 (Parking Requirements for Food Service Uses) of the NBMC allows the review authority to establish a rate between one parking space for every 30 square feet and one space for every 50 square feet of net public area. In this case, given the limited size and nature of the operation with no patron turnover, staff recommends applying the lowest rate of one parking space for every 50 square feet of net public area. Therefore, there is a resulting requirement of three parking spaces, which is equivalent to the current requirement for the retail sales land use. •While the property lies within the Coastal Zone, the project is exempt from the requirements of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) because there is no expansion 2 ARC Private Dining Room (PA2022-105) Zoning Administrator, March 16, 2023 Page 3 Tmplt: 01/18/23 in floor area and no additional parking is required; therefore, the proposed changes do not constitute any changes in land use that are anticipated to result in an intensification nor a de-intensification of land use. • The Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) has reviewed the proposal and has no objections to the request, especially with the removal of the Type 20 ABC License. The NBPD memorandum, crime and alcohol-related statistics, and reporting district map are attached (Attachment No. ZA 4). • The City’s Water Quality and Code Enforcement Division has reviewed the proposal. In 2022, there were three investigations related to hosting special events. This Minor Use Permit will allow food service in the private dining room and will allow for a limited private dining experience. Anything outside of the operational conditions of approval will require a special event permit. • Staff believes this use will be consistent and compatible with existing and allowed uses within the area. Existing uses in the mixed-use neighborhood and the nearby Landing Shopping Center reflect the type of restaurants, retail and service uses allowed by the regulations for the Zoning District and typically expected by residents and the public of similar mixed-use and commercial areas. The attached Draft Resolution for approval (Attachment No. ZA 1) provides facts in support of each consideration and finding. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW 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 of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. The proposal is to occupy an existing nonresidential tenant space with a new retail sales land use. There will be no significant improvements to the interior of the building and no expansion of floor area. Given there is no change to the amount of parking required, there is also no anticipated increase in intensity. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all owners of property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights-of-way and waterways), including the applicant, and posted on the subject property at least 10 days before the scheduled hearing, consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code. Additionally, the item appeared on the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the City website. 3 ARC Private Dining Room (PA2022-105) Zoning Administrator, March 16, 2023 Page 4 Tmplt: 01/18/23 APPEAL PERIOD An appeal or call for review may be filed with the Director of Community Development within 14 days following the date of the action.

ZA2023-### A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A MINOR USE PERMIT TO CREATE A PRIVATE DINING ROOM (EATING AND DRINKING ESTABLISHMENT) WITH ALCOHOL SERVICE AND NO LATE HOURS LOCATED AT 501 30TH STREET (PA2022-105) THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS. 1. An application was filed by DSH Industries, LLC (Applicant), with respect to the property located at 501 30th Street, and legally described as Lot No. 1 of Tract No. 16292 (Property), requesting approval of a minor use permit. 2. The Applicant requests to operate a small 10-seat private dining room in conjunction with an existing restaurant, ARC Butcher & Baker, located at 417 30th Street. The proposed use would replace the existing ARC Bottle Shop and would remove the Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License. The private dining room would serve food and alcohol using ARC Butcher & Baker’s existing Type 41 (On-Sale Beer & Wine – Eating Place) and Type 58 (Caterer’s Permit) ABC Licenses. The operating hours would be from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., daily. If approved and implemented, this Minor Use Permit would supersede Minor Use Permit No. UP2021-003 (Project). 3. The Property is designated Mixed-Use Horizontal (MU-H4) by the General Plan Land Use Element and is located within the Mixed-Use Cannery Village and 15th Street (MU-CV/15TH ST) Zoning District. 4. The Property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan category is Mixed-Use Horizontal (MU-H) and it is located within the Mixed-Use Cannery Village and 15th Street (MU-CV/15TH ST) Coastal Zone District. The project is exempt from the requirements of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) because there is no expansion in floor area and no additional parking is required; therefore, the proposed changes do not constitute any changes in land use that are anticipated to result in an intensification nor a de-intensification of land use. 5. A public hearing was held on March 16, 2023, online via Zoom. A notice of the time, place, and purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC). Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by, the Zoning Administrator at this hearing. SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION. 1. 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 6 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-### Page 2 of 11 01-17-23 of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. 2. The proposal is to occupy an existing nonresidential tenant space with a new private dining room (i.e., eating and drinking establishment land use). There will be no significant improvements to the interior of the building and no expansion of floor area. Given there is no change to the amount of parking required, there is also no anticipated increase in intensity. SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS. Alcohol Sales Although there is a net reduction in alcohol licenses with no new licenses being proposed, the Project will still include alcohol sales and service onsite. In accordance with Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the NBMC, the following findings and facts in support of the findings for a use permit are set forth: Finding 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 Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of NBMC, 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. 1. The crime rate in the subject reporting district (RD 15) as well as two (2) of the three (3) adjacent RDs (Reporting Districts) are over the City average. RD 15 contains the large commercial shopping center known as The Landing at 32nd Street and Balboa Boulevard and much of Via Lido and Balboa Boulevard. The purpose of the Zoning of these beach areas is to provide various commercial and retail uses to support the surrounding residential area, as well as the surrounding tourist destinations. Therefore, these beach areas with a higher concentration of commercial land uses tend to have a higher crime rate than adjacent RDs with more residential development. 2. The Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) reviewed the Project and has no objections given the limited operation, the net reduction in alcohol licenses, and the conditions of approval contained in Exhibit “A.” 7 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-### Page 3 of 11 01-17-23 ii. The numbers of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting district and in adjacent reporting districts. 1. Due to the high concentration of commercial land uses, the calls for service and number of arrests are greater than adjacent RDs. Additionally, this is the beach area that is considered one of the most significant tourist areas of the City. 2. The NBPD reviewed the Project and has no objections given the limited operation, the net reduction in alcohol licenses, and the conditions of approval contained in Exhibit “A.” 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. 1. The tenant space is located on the ground floor of a mixed-use building with residential units above. The surrounding area is mixed-use with residential and various commercial services including offices, personal services, retail, and eating and drinking establishments of a similar nature. The residential uses are intermixed amongst these uses, mostly on second floors. The neighborhood is intended and designed for a mix of residential and commercial uses. The nearest park, Lido Park, is approximately 600 feet northeast of the site. There is one (1) church more than 500 feet north. Other sensitive land uses above are not located within proximity of the subject building. iv. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off-site or on-site consumption. 1. The Project will result in the removal of an existing Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License. 2. Several other establishments along 32nd Street, Balboa Boulevard and Via Lido currently have active ABC Licenses, most of which are bona fide eating and drinking establishments and are not defined as bars, lounges or nightclubs by the NBMC. Approximately 200 feet west on the same block is ARC Butcher & Baker. Approximately 350 feet across 30th Street on the south corner of 30th Street and Newport Boulevard is Helmsman Ale House (formerly Newport Brewing Company). On the opposite corner is Porro Vita Juice store. North of Porro Vita along Newport Boulevard is Mama Ds. Across Newport Boulevard is Malarky’s Irish Pub (the only bar in the vicinity). North of Malarky’s is The Landing Shopping Center with Chipotle, Gina’s Pizza, and Chihuahua Cervezeria. 3. The Project is a unique operation that is conditioned to close at 10 p.m. There are appropriate conditions in place to prevent the establishment from operating as a bar, lounge, or nightclub. The proximity to other food service establishments does not appear to create foreseeable concern. 8 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-### Page 4 of 11 01-17-23 v. Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable conditions 1. There are no current objectionable conditions at this location. Minor Use Permit In accordance with Section 20.52.020(F) (Findings and Decision) of the NBMC, the following findings and facts in support of the findings for a minor use permit are set forth: Finding B. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan; Facts in Support of Finding 1. The General Plan designates the site as Mixed-Use Horizontal (MU-H4), which applies to areas where it is the intent to establish a cohesively developed district or neighborhood containing multi-unit residential dwelling units with clusters of mixed-use and/or commercial structures on interior lots of Cannery Village and 15th Street on Balboa Peninsula. The proposed use will occupy the ground-floor nonresidential tenant space of an existing mixed-use building that has a residential unit above. 2. The Project is consistent with the MU-H4 designation, as it is intended to provide a service not only to visitors, but also to residents within the immediate neighborhood and surrounding area. 3. Several mixed-use structures including office, personal service, and eating and drinking establishment uses exist nearby and are complementary to the surrounding commercial and residential uses. 4. The Property is not part of a specific plan area. 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 1. The Property is in the Mixed-Use Cannery Village and 15th Street (MU-CV/15TH ST) Zoning District. The proposed private dining room is considered an eating and drinking establishment. This land use is allowed subject to the approval of a minor use permit (MUP) pursuant to Section 20.22.020 (Mixed-Use Zoning Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements) of the NBMC. 9 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-### Page 5 of 11 01-17-23 2. The ground-floor tenant space is approximately 660 square feet and is occupied by ARC Bottle Shop, a retail sales use. The current parking requirement is one parking space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area or three spaces. The proposed private dining room will maintain 150 square feet of net public area with a single dining table and no more than ten seats. Section 20.40.060 (Parking Requirements for Food Service Uses) of the NBMC allows the review authority to establish a rate between one parking space for every 30 square feet and one space for every 50 square feet of net public area. In this case, given the limited size and nature of the operation with no patron turnover, staff recommends applying the lowest rate of one parking space for every 50 square feet of net public area. Therefore, there is a resulting requirement of three parking spaces, which is equivalent to the current requirement for the retail sales land use. 3. All criteria outlined by Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the NBMC have been considered and are analyzed in the preceding section of this Resolution. 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 1. The operation of the use will be restricted to the hours between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m., daily. These hours are consistent with the business hours of other uses in the commercial area. It is expected to be harmonious with the residential uses nearby. 2. The existing ground-floor nonresidential tenant space is located within an existing two (2)-story mixed-use building accessible from 30th Street and the alley at the rear, which provides convenient access to motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. 3. The surrounding area contains various, retail, business office and visitor-serving commercial uses including restaurants and take-out eating establishments. The proposed use will be compatible with and complementary to the existing and permitted uses within the area. 4. The operational conditions of approval will help ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses. The Project has been conditioned to ensure that the business remains a private dining room and that it does not become a self-sufficient restaurant, bar, lounge, or nightclub. 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; and 10 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-### Page 6 of 11 01-17-23 Facts in Support of Finding 1.The Project will occupy an existing nonresidential tenant space, which has existed for nearly 20 years. There will be no material changes to the floor plan or alterations to the site that would compromise its suitability. 2.There are three (3) tandem parking spaces on-site, including two (2) for employees and one for a visitor to the tenant space. In addition, there is a fourth accessible space that is accessed from 30th Street. As conditioned, no more than two (2) employees will be on-site at any given time. 3.Original site plan approvals for the tenant space included a review to ensure adequate public and emergency vehicle access, and that public services, and utilities are provided. Any tenant improvement plans will be reviewed for compliance with applicable building and fire codes. 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, and safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. Facts in Support of Finding 1.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 Applicant 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 Project will operate similarly to an eating and drinking establishment. It will serve the surrounding community in a commercial area designed for such uses. The service of alcohol is provided as a public convenience that is part of, and not separate from, a dining experience. SECTION 4. DECISION.

Disclaimer: 3/7/2023 0 200100 Project Site 18 Attachment No. ZA 3 Applicant’s Project Description 19 ARC BOTTLE SHOP 501 30th STREET | NEWPORT BEACH CALIFORNIA | 92663 October 26, 2022 Project Description To: City of Newport Beach Planning Department Project:ARC Bottle Shop – 501 30th Street, Newport Beach CA 92663 Parcel No.: 047-032-29 We are happy to present to the City of Newport Beach an exciting change in use to our existing retail wine shop, ARC Bottle Shop. The creation of a private, ancillary fine- dining space to our sister restaurant, ARC Butcher & Baker. The existing retail wine shop is located in the heart of Cannery Village and will remove it’s existing Type-20 license to become an ancillary dining space, utilizing a Type 58 Catering Permit. Our proposed private, on-site dining is within the City’s zoning. The building is to remain as is, as well as the existing premises, parking stalls, and landscaping are to remain. No additional square footage or height is to be added to the existing three story building, the project will occupy the appropriate commercial-use space on the ground floor of the building. The goals and objectives of the Minor Use Change will be to enhance and serve the Newport Beach Peninsula residential, commercial and office district with a unique and boutique private fine-dining offering. All food will be provided by ARC Butcher & Baker, which holds a Type 41 Alcohol License, and each event will utilize ARC’s Type 58 Catering Permit for alcohol service. ARC BOTTLE SHOP - “project description” Currently, ARC Bottle Shop is reminiscent of a European wine shop, offering the Newport Peninsula a unique way to become introduced to fine wine and uncommon beers. The petite, yet refined, European piazza style shop offers a curated display of hand selected wine and beer offerings displayed in a minimalist and stylized fashion. Our wine sommelier curates an exceptional list of old-world European Wines and superior New-World California wines. Currently, all beverage selections are to be consumed off-site during normal business hours. With the removal of the Type 20 1 20 license, the space would no longer be open to the public as a Wine Shop, and on-site consumption would be utilized via a catering permit during scheduled private events only. 10 private dining seats are proposed. The general space will remain the same and any wine within the decor will be for display and theming only. ARC Bottle Shop feels like a European Wine Cellar, a feature which we wish to keep as we offer ancillary, private fine-dining to the neighborhood. As with most private events, event requests occur on a per case basis and are usually sporadic. We anticipate use of the private dining space more often on Friday and Saturday evenings. We anticipate months where there are no private dining events, and some months where there may be one event each weekend. For example, the month of December may see a small increase due to family holiday dinners, but summer months may feature no private dining requests at all.

The Use is allowed within applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and Municipal code. 2 21 Our project and Proposed Minor Use Change is unique in operation, serving as the only high-end, ancillary private fine-dining space on the peninsula. The project is consistent and complimentary to the existing neighborhood which is mixed use and features takeout establishments, cafés and restaurants. Our total number of parking stalls is 4, the total number of employees at any time is 1. The overall design, size and location of the existing building is to remain as is. Our project is compatible and is suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provisions of public and emergency vehicles (e.g. fire and medical access) and public services / utilities. Our project has one ADA accessible entrance which also serves as main entrance / exit at the right side of building. Our proposed project is compatible and is suitable in terms of the operation and location. Our proposed project is not in any form detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of the City. Our project is not a hazard to the public convenience, health interest, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of proposed use. Our project has a strict 10am to 10pm operational curfew. We provide a clear and accessible path of travel to all building occupants and customers as an ancillary, private fine-dining space. Our existing use offers beer and wine to customers for off-site consumption only during business hours and our new proposed use would remove the Type 20 off-site beer and wine license, and provide the ability to have private dining with on-site beer and wine consumption, utilizing a Type 58 catering license. Our intention is to blend in with the existing neighborhood while enhancing and serving the existing Newport Beach Peninsula’s residential, commercial and office districts.
