The public hearing was opened in connection with this
item, and Mr. Bert Tarayao, applicant, appeared before
the Planning Commission. Mr. Tarayao referred to
Condition No. 8 which states "that the applicant shall
pay an in -lieu park dedication fee of $6,894.37 prior to
the recordation of the parcel map. ", and to Finding No.
5 which states "that in -lieu park dedication fees are
required for each additional dwelling on the subject
property.... ", and he asked if the said fee would be
required for each proposed dwelling? James Hewicker,
Planning Director, explained that an in -lieu park
dedication fee is required in accordance with the in-
lieu park fee ordinance, and that as a condition the
applicant is notified that an in -lieu park fee is
required when the applicant applies for a building
permit or records the parcel map. He said that the
Planning Commission or the City Council does not have
the ability to waive, increase, or decrease said fee.
Mr. Hewicker stated that the subject property currently
consists of one dwelling unit, and inasmuch 'as the
•
applicant is given credit for the existing unit, the
applicant would only be required to pay said fee for one
additional dwelling unit. Mr. Tarayao stated that he
concurs with the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A ".
There being no others desiring to appear and be heard,
the public hearing was closed at this time.
Motion
*
Motion was made to approve Resubdivision No. 868 subject
to the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A ".
In response to questions posed by Acting Chairman
Pomeroy, Mr. Hewicker replied that no in -lieu park fee
would be required if two existing units on a parcel were
removed and an applicant would apply for a
resubdivision to construct a two unit residential
condominium project on the site, and if a subdivision
consisting of 50 lots or less would be requested, then
either a fee, a dedication of land, or a combination of
both would be 'required.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Winburn,
Mr. Hewicker replied that a condition regarding the in-
lieu park dedication fee will be included in future
resubdivision conditions of approval.

project that will not be developed, staff has suggested
that the requirement to improve said intersection be
moved to Condition No. 1 from Condition No. 2 so the
applicant would be required to construct the
intersection as a part of the Traffic Phasing Ordinance
improvements. Mr. Webb stated that additional language
has been included in Condition No. 2 to explain where
the intersection improvement fees will be deposited and
the purpose of said fees.
Commissioner Debay asked if the.foregoing fees collected
from the applicant will go into a general transportation
fund? Mr. Webb replied that collected funds are
deposited into the Circulation and Transportation Fund
account and then said funds are drawn from said account
to build the improvements. Commissioner Debay asked if
an applicant would be allowed to build a project without
any improvements at an intersection even if a fee has
been paid? Mr. Webb replied if there is a program that
would provide for the required improvements to be
completed within ' four years, the Traffic Phasing
Ordinance allows a contribution to the program to
fulfill their obligation.
Mr. Jerry King, J. A. King & Associates, 550 C Newport
Center Drive, appeared before the Planning Commission on
behalf of the applicant. Mr. King stated that the
applicant concurs with the findings and revised
conditions No. 1 and No. 2 in Exhibit "A ".
There being no others desiring to appear and be heard,
the public hearing was closed at this time.
In response to questions posed by Acting Chairman
Pomeroy, Mr. Webb replied that staff does not require
applicants to submit traffic evaluations of
intersections outside of the City of Newport Beach; that
the bridge will be widened on Campus Drive by about 22
feet between Bristol Street North and Bristol Street;
that Bristol Street North at Birch Street will consist
of three through lanes plus a combination of a through
lane /left turn lane onto Birch Street; Mr. Webb
commented that two lanes may be restriped to three lanes
at the off -ramp of the Corona del Mar Freeway; and that
Bristol Street at Birch Street will require pavement
widening.

completed within four . years. The fee for the
proportionate share would have to be deposited with the
City prior to occupancy. He commented that the
applicant is paying for their share of an improvement
that would be guaranteed to be completed within the four
year period. In response to a question posed by
Commissioner Debay regarding the proposed project's
completion date, Mr. Webb explained that the most
critical improvement is the Campus Drive widening
improvement, that the County of Orange is currently
processing those improvements, and that the start of
construction should be in approximately six to eight
months. Mr. Webb stated that the construction time
should be about one year, and that the completion date
will probably occur at the same time as the occupancy of
the proposed project.

Request to amend a previously approved use permit which
permitted the reconstruction and expansion of the Balboa
Fun Zone, located on property within the C -1 District.
The proposed amendment consists of changing the
Approved
operational characteristics of. an existing take -out
restaurant on the Balboa Fun Zone property, so as to
permit incidental on -sale beer and wine.
LOCATION: Parcel 1 of Parcel Map 82 -706

®
OWNER: Balboa Fun Zone, Ltd., Newport Beach
James Hewicker, Planning Director, stated that a letter
dated May 5, 1988, was received from the Balboa
Peninsula Point Association in opposition to the subject
application.
Commissioner Winburn and Mr. Hewicker compared the size
of the subject restaurant to Milano's Restaurant, a
restaurant previously lobated at the Fun Zone and was
approved to sell beer and wine on -site.
The public hearing was opened in connection with this
item, and Ms. Fair Chang, representing the applicants,
appeared before the Planning Commission. Ms. Chang
stated that the applicants concur with the findings and
conditions in Exhibit "A ".
In response to questions posed by Commissioner Di Sano,
Ms. Chang replied that the subject restaurant is the

beer and wine is to help support the restaurant, and
that no other restaurant serves beer and wine in the Fun

In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Koppelman regarding the sale of beer and wine outside of
the subject restaurant, Mr. Hewicker replied that the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board would require that the
area outside of the restaurant be fenced off from the
remaining public area. Commissioner Koppelman suggested
that Condition No. 2 regarding the on -sale service of
beer and wine could be amended so as not to allow a
take -out service of alcohol.
Commissioner Di Sano commented that the subject
restaurant is small, that alcohol could be taken off -
site, that no other restaurant within the Fun Zone sells
beer and wine, that the Planning Commission has
discussed the need for a Fun Zone environment and that
beer and wine does not fit within that ambience.
Commissioner Di Sano asked why Milano's Restaurant
waited to apply for an alcoholic license? Mr. Hewicker
replied that when the use permit for the Fun Zone was
initially approved take -out restaurants were
automatically approved, and subsequently Milano's
Restaurant applied for a use permit inasmuch as the
original use permit states that if an establishment
requests the sale of alcoholic beverages, they must come
back to the Planning Commission for approval.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Debay,
Mr. Hewicker replied that small take -out restaurants
with on -sale beer and wine within the Balboa Peninsula
area have been approved by the Planning Commission, with
the condition that no off -sale alcoholic beverages be
permitted. Mr. Hewicker suggested an addition to
Condition No. 2 regarding the on -sale service of beer
and wine stating "that the service of beer and wine
shall be contained within the building."
Acting Chairman Pomeroy requested that an error in
Condition No. 3 be corrected to read "shall ".
Commissioner Winburn commented that on -sale beer and
wine should not be allowed outside of the subject
restaurant or within the patio areas of the Pun Zone.
She referred to Condition No. 5 which gives the Planning
Commission the opportunity to bring the use permit back
for revocation if the applicant does not comply with the
conditions of the use permit.

consumed outside of the restaurant ", and corrected
Condition No. 3.
Commissioner Di Sano stated that he would not support
the motion because the sale of alcoholic beverages are
not appropriate in the Fun Zone area and he referred to
the foregoing letter from the Balboa Peninsula Point
Association regarding their opposition to the
application, that the ambience of the Fun Zone should
not include alcoholic beverages, that the sale of beer
and wine would not make the difference in the
restaurant, and that it could start a precedent in the
Fun Zone.
Commissioner Winburn and Commissioner Di Sano discussed
the Balboa Peninsula Point Association's letter and the
residents' concerns regarding the sale of alcoholic
beverages in the Fun Zone, and Commissioner Winburn
pointed out that Milano's Restaurant is no longer in
•
existence.
Acting Chairman Commissioner Pomeroy commented that the
staff report indicates that staff cannot conceive of a
finding for denial, and he requested a comment from
staff. Mr. Hewicker referred to previous applications
regarding requests for on -sale beer and wine licenses
throughout the Balboa Peninsula and he said that the
Planning Commission has never tried to interfere with
the competitive nature of restaurants; that the Planning
Commission has always taken into consideration the
problems that could arise during the summer months and
the City's regulations prohibiting alcoholic beverages;
that the Planning Commission has tried to allow a
restaurant to have on -sale beer and wine but at the same
time restricting its operation by prohibiting the off -
sale consumption of alcoholic beverages or making sure
that the sales are conducted on -site where there is not
going to be a problem.
