ITEM NO. 3 FIVE CROWNS APPEAL (PA2023-0202)
Site Location: 3801 East Coast Highway
SUMMARY: An appeal of the Zoning Administrator's August 15, 2024, decision to approve a
limited term permit and coastal development permit to allow an existing temporary
outdoor dining patio to remain for a limited term at Five Crowns Restaurant. The
expanded 1,350-square-foot outdoor dining area including an 850-square-foot
canopy was originally approved by an Emergency Temporary Use Permit (ETUP) in
2020 as a temporary addition to their existing outdoor dining. Although the ETUP
expired, the temporary outdoor dining area has remained in use. The outdoor dining
area will include live entertainment and will close by 10:00 p.m. A sound wall will be
installed along the rear property lines along with other design features to reduce
noise. The limited term permit and coastal development permit would allow the
temporary use to remain until June 30, 2025, with a possible extension until
December 31, 2025. A CDP is required because the property is within the Coastal
Zone.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing, considered public input, and
approved the project upholding the Zoning Administrator's decision by the following
vote:
AYES:
Ellmore, Harris, Langford, Lowrey, Rosene, and Salene
NOES:
None
ABSENT:
None
RECUSED:
Barto
ACTION: Approved with amended conditions, including extending the term of the approval
for one year with a possible one-year extension.

ITEM NO. 2 UCHI SUSHI RESTAURANT (PA2024-0068)
Site Location: 2510 and 2536 West Coast Highway
Summary:
A request for a conditional use permit and coastal development permit to convert 5,096-
square-foot vacant suite to a new eating and drinking establishment (i.e., restaurant) with
approximately 2,400 square feet of net public area (NPA) and a Type 47 (On -Sale General
— Eating Place) Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) License. The existing suite is currently
vacant but was previously approved for use as a retail use (grocery store). The project also
includes a request to use valet parking and locate a portion of the required 48 parking
spaces off -site at 2436 West Coast Highway. The proposed hours of operation are between
5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., daily. The project does not include a request for late hours or live
entertainment.
Recommended Actions:
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, because it has not potential to have a significant effect on the
environment; and
3. Adopt Resolution No. PC2024-026, approving the Conditional Use Permit and
coastal development permit filed as PA2024-0068.
ITEM NO. 3 FIVE CROWNS APPEAL (PA2023-0202)
Site Location: 3801 East Coast Highway
Summary:
An appeal of the Zoning Administrator's August 15, 2024, decision to approve a limited term
permit and coastal development permit to allow an existing temporary outdoor dining patio
to remain for a limited term at Five Crowns Restaurant. The expanded 1,350-square-foot
outdoor dining area including an 850-square-foot canopy was originally approved by an
Emergency Temporary Use Permit (ETUP) in 2020 as a temporary addition to their existing
outdoor dining. Although the ETUP expired, the temporary outdoor dining area has
remained in use. The outdoor dining area will include live entertainment and will close by
10:00 p.m. A sound wall will be installed along the rear property lines along with other design
features to reduce noise. The limited term permit and coastal development permit would
allow the temporary use to remain until June 30, 2025, with a possible extension until
December 31, 2025. A CDP is required because the property is within the Coastal Zone.
Recommended Actions:
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 Resolution No. PC2024-027, denying the appeal and upholding and affirming
the Zoning Administrator's Approval of a Limited Term Permit for temporary outdoor
dining filed as PA2023-0202.
