Dr. Richard Zahn, 1819 West Bay Avenue, appeared before

existing structures that are built to a 3 foot front
yard setback are older structures, and the structures
adjacent to the subject site that were constructed
within recent years are not within the 3 foot front
yard setback. Dr. Zahn commented that all of the
property owners are concerned about views, but no one
wanted to monopolize the view. He said that the
property owners have voluntarily developed their
structures to correspond with the previously built
dwellings; however, the proposed project will extend
beyond the existing buildings giving the owners a
panoramic view and taking away the view from the
neighbors.
Mr. John Newcombe, 1821 West Bay Avenue, appeared

that owners of the adjacent properties to the subject

commented that he has reviewed the proposed project and
he is aware of what effect the project will have on the
adjacent properties. He recommended that the Planning
Commission continue this item to allow the applicant

agreement as to how much of a building encroachment
should be permitted.

Mr. Marvick rebutted that the adjacent property owners

he questioned whether or not the Coastal Commission
would have the same concerns regarding an interior lot
as opposed to an ocean front lot. Mr. Marvick pointed
out the progression of lots and that the street curves

Mr. Hewicker commented that the Planning Commission
does not have to protect private views from private
property; however, he opined that the subject property
•
and the abutting lots to the east and to the west of
the site should have been developed at the same time so
as to provide a view for all three properties. Mr.
Hewicker pointed out that the property will require an
approval from the Coastal Commission, and that the
Coastal Commission does have a policy of establishing
stringline setbacks between adjoining properties. He
suggested that the Planning Commission may want to
require that the balconies remain open and that the
facades of the first, second and third floors of the
proposed project be allowed to extend out no more than
the first, second and third floors of the adjacent
buildings.

In response to questions posed by Commissioner Winburn

regarding the availability of the off -site parking, Mr.
Hewicker replied that the intent of staff was not to
allow the restaurant to open to full capacity until

Commissioner Goff referred to Use Permit No. 3200,
Condition No. 5 regarding "an appropriate license be
secured from the State Alcoholic Beverage Commission ",
and he discussed with James Hewicker, Planning
Director, and Carol Korade, Assistant City Attorney, if
the condition should specify the type of liquor that
.
would be sold on the premises. Mr. Hewicker explained
that the Planning Commission could make the distinction
between beer and wine, or other types of alcoholic
beverages. Mr. Hewicker further explained that the
applicant would not be required to come back to amend
the use permit if they wanted to serve other types of
alcoholic beverages, unless the condition made a
distinction of the type of alcoholic beverages. In
response to Commissioner Goff's question if the
applicant could utilize one liquor. license for the
adjoining "bed and breakfast" hotel as well as the
restaurant, Mr. Hewicker replied that it is the intent
of the applicant to only serve wine or an apertif at
the hotel, and that he did not envision that the
approval of beer and wine or alcoholic beverages in the
restaurant, adjoining the hotel, would allow the
applicant to serve alcohol beverages in the hotel.
In response to questions posed by Commissioner Winburn
referring to Use Permit No. 3200, Condition No. 2,
regarding the availability of the off -site parking, Mr.

Skaug referred to Commissioner Goff's aforementioned

concern, and replied that that the "bed and breakfast"
hotel is a separate operation from the proposed
restaurant, and that there would be two separate liquor
licenses.
Mr. Skaug referred to Use Permit No. 3200, Condition
No. 2, regarding the square footage of "net public
area" that would be utilized before 7:00 p.m., and
stated that the owner of the off -site parking lot has
revised the hours when the parking lot would be
available to the applicant; therefore, the applicant is
requesting that the condition be amended to 6:00 p.m.
Monday through Thursday, and 2:00 p.m. on Friday.
In reference to Condition No. 9, requiring that the
roof equipment shall be screened from view, Mr. Skaug
commented that because of the height of the building,
the roof equipment would not create a view blockage or
an eyesore to the adjacent properties. Mr. Hewicker
replied that the condition could be modified to state
"if required by staff" because staff's intent was not
to create any bulk if the equipment would not be
visible from the street or adjoining properties.
In reference to Condition No. 18, regarding the
off -site parking agreement, Mr. Skaug referred to the
staff report and said that the applicant should have to
provide a minimum of 11 parking spaces as opposed to 16
parking spaces, taking into consideration the 7 parking
space credit that the retail square footage of the
building merits. William Laycock, Current Planning
Administrator, replied that staff suggested 16 parking
spaces; however, the applicant was proposing 18 parking
spaces, including 2 parking spaces that were going to
be, located on -site for employees. Mr. Laycock said
that 18 parking spaces were going to be provided even
though the applicant does have a credit of 7 parking

hotel is a separate operation from the proposed
restaurant, and that there would be two separate liquor
licenses.
Mr. Skaug referred to Use Permit No. 3200, Condition
No. 2, regarding the square footage of "net public
area" that would be utilized before 7:00 p.m., and
stated that the owner of the off -site parking lot has
revised the hours when the parking lot would be
available to the applicant; therefore, the applicant is
requesting that the condition be amended to 6:00 p.m.
Monday through Thursday, and 2:00 p.m. on Friday.
In reference to Condition No. 9, requiring that the
roof equipment shall be screened from view, Mr. Skaug
commented that because of the height of the building,
the roof equipment would not create a view blockage or
an eyesore to the adjacent properties. Mr. Hewicker
replied that the condition could be modified to state
"if required by staff" because staff's intent was not
to create any bulk if the equipment would not be
visible from the street or adjoining properties.
In reference to Condition No. 18, regarding the
off -site parking agreement, Mr. Skaug referred to the
staff report and said that the applicant should have to
provide a minimum of 11 parking spaces as opposed to 16
parking spaces, taking into consideration the 7 parking
space credit that the retail square footage of the
building merits. William Laycock, Current Planning
Administrator, replied that staff suggested 16 parking
spaces; however, the applicant was proposing 18 parking
spaces, including 2 parking spaces that were going to
be, located on -site for employees. Mr. Laycock said
that 18 parking spaces were going to be provided even
though the applicant does have a credit of 7 parking
spaces. Mr. Skaug replied that if the applicant should
lose the parking lot in the future then the applicant
would be conditioned to provide for parking spaces that
would be greater than is minimally required for the
restaurant. Mr. Skaug stated that the applicant may
want to have "trade- offs" with the neighbors, and that

commented that 9 parking spaces would be required, not

included for the daytime restaurant use, and that said
parking spaces be available to hotel guests overnight.
Mr. Hewicker recommended that Condition No. 18 be
modified from 16 parking spaces to 11 parking spaces.
In response to a question posed by Mr. Laycock
regarding the off -site parking agreement commencing on
September 1, 1986, Mr. Skaug replied that the applicant
has allowed 13 weeks to process the required permits;
however, they, will come .back with the necessary
documents if the restaurant opens before September 1,
1986.
In response to questions posed by Commissioner
Eichenhofer regarding a trash area, Mr. Skaug replied

that there could be difficulty if there was a condition
requiring a trash area outside of the building because
of the limited space. He said that the applicant has

The public hearing opened in connection with this item,
and Mr. Jack Burthe, 2000 Kewamee Drive, appeared
before the Planning Commission. Mr. Burthe stated that
the applicant also has a pizza business in Ventura
County, and he compared the patrons in Ventura County
to the patrons in Newport Beach by stating that the
Newport Beach patrons do not order as many pizzas, but
they do order more pasta dinners therefore, the order
•
for the large pizza oven was cancelled. He explained
how the restaurant started out to be a typical fast
food restaurant, but that now they are considered a
full -scale service restaurant that requires additional
parking spaces because they have four waiters who take
orders at the table, and they are applying to sell wine
with the pasta. Mr. Burthe asked that they be
permitted to serve beer and wine, to keep the four
waiters, and that additional parking not be required
because the facility is not a full service restaurant.

that there are different requirements under the
Municipal Code of the City of Newport Beach which
define take -out restaurants as opposed to full service
restaurants.
Commissioner Eichenhofer pointed out that the
applicant's floor plan denotes stools along the counter
that look out at the carousel and includes 53 seats;
however, she said that she was in the restaurant and
she counted 16 tables of 4 seats, 3 tables of 2 seats,
and 9 stools, which adds up to 79 seats. Mr. Burthe
replied that those plans were the plans that were
originally submitted to the City, and at that point Mr.
Burthe described how the seating area had to be
redesigned.
Commissioner Eichenhofer asked staff the definition of
"incidental seating ". Mr. Hewicker replied that
staff's interpretation of incidental seating is that
• less than 50 percent of the customers would enter an
establishment for the purpose to sit down and consume
food on the premises. Mr. Laycock replied that the
definition of a take -out restaurant is " the delivery
of such food products or beverages within a building in
such a manner that the majority of the customers would
move such food products or beverages from the building
for consumption ".
In response to a question posed by Commissioner

which allows for the sale of beer and wine on the
premises, Mr. Hewicker replied that in order not to
have a full sit -down operation, the applicant would
have to have a counter -type operation where patrons
would come into the restaurant, order food at the
counter, wait to have their food prepared, and remove
the food from the premises; or an area where the food
would be served in containers through a window and
where the sit -down patrons would be less than 50
percent of the operation, which is a typical take -out
operation.

Person regarding when the application was filed, Mr.

9, 1986. Mr. Hewicker advised that the application
first came to his attention when the City Manager
contacted him regarding what a person would have to go
through in order to allow for service of alcoholic
beverages in a restaurant in the Fun Zone, and Mr.

Mr. Hewicker described the difference in the take -out
restaurant clientele from a sit -down operation, by
explaining that a sit -down dinner type of operation
becomes a destination point as opposed to a patron who
•
is already in the area and stops by to consume the food
on or off the premises. He said that the parking
requirement for a take -out restaurant is based upon the
maximum number of employees on duty during peak hours
of operation and on the gross square footage of the
take -out restaurant, as opposed to a sit -down operation
which is based upon the "net public area" of the
restaurant.

pending use permits and previous use permits in which
the applications have had difficulty in finding parking

provided for 57 parking spaces in the subterranean

on duty during peak hours of operation. He. explained
that when the use permit was originally approved, staff
tried to determine what the historical use had been in
the Fun Zone. and then allocated those parking spaces
among the new square footage that was being developed,
so that every use that goes in is recognized to have
some nonconforming status.

that it was easier to have the waiters take sit -down .
orders. In response to Chairman Person, Mr. Burthe
replied that during the first week of operation they
did not have waiters but that there were employees
taking the orders and bringing the food out to the
tables, and that many customers wanted to sit down and
have dinner. Mr. Burthe further commented that during
peak hours there are 12 employees, and during the week
there are 2 waiters in front. He opined that if there
would not be waiters in front there would be the same
amount of employees but behind the counter, and the
customers would come up to the counter to order their
dinner, and then the food could be taken to the
customers similar to the manner it is done at other
fast food restaurants as opposed to take -out
restaurants. He opined that they were never told
they were a take -out restaurant as opposed to a fast
food operation.
Chairman Person pointed out that the site plan
• indicated take -out use, and that Condition No. 58 of
Use Permit No. 3120 stipulates that an amendment to the
use permit shall be required for: "b" "any conversion
of a take -out restaurant to a conventional restaurant
as defined in the Zoning Code ", and Chairman Person
further stated that any individual entering into such
an investment should have read what that condition
meant and what the Zoning Code said as to the
definition of a take -out restaurant.
Commissioner Winburn opined that the restaurant does
not have the appearance of a take -out restaurant, but
instead a restaurant wherein the customers would enter,
sit down, and have their meals served.
In further response to Mr. Hewicker's questions, Mr.
Burthe replied that the majority of the patrons are
local and most of them walk to the restaurant, and he
emphasized that the restaurant does not attract people
to the site. Chairman Person and Mr. Burthe discussed
the intensification of the Balboa area.
Commissioner Kurlander commented that the restaurant
would have a 7 parking space deficiency if the
restaurant had been assigned 12 parking spaces and they
• only have 5 parking spaces. In response to a question

reference to Commissioner Kurlander's aforementioned
remarks regarding a bathroom, Commissioner Goff stated
that he would approve a bathroom based on the required
covenant binding the applicant to two dwelling units.
Chairman Person referred to Condition No. 4, and he
commented that he was not concerned that Dr. Van Slyke
would convert the patio area into a third dwelling
unit, but that he was concerned that a future owner
could convert the area to generate additional income.
Chairman Person recommended that the bathroom as
suggested by Commissioner Goff could be limited to a
half bath. Commissioner Goff accepted the amendment to
the motion.
Commissioner Koppelman stated that she would support
the motion after seeing the evidence that has been
• occurring and that she would like to have the condition
rectified.
Mr. Hewicker advised that the structure has a shower
head outside of the building. Mr. Hewicker suggested
that "that as long as the property is developed in
excess of 2 times the buildable area of the site ",
should be deleted from Condition No. 4 because it is
not applicable to the covenant.
Motion was voted on to approve Variance No. 1131,
subject to the findings and conditions in Exhibit "C ",

Motion x Commissioner Goff made a motion to approve Variance No.
1131, in accordance with the findings and conditions in
Exhibit "C" including amended Condition No. 3. In
reference to Commissioner Kurlander's aforementioned
remarks regarding a bathroom, Commissioner Goff stated
that he would approve a bathroom based on the required
covenant binding the applicant to two dwelling units.
Chairman Person referred to Condition No. 4, and he
commented that he was not concerned that Dr. Van Slyke
would convert the patio area into a third dwelling
unit, but that he was concerned that a future owner
could convert the area to generate additional income.
Chairman Person recommended that the bathroom as
suggested by Commissioner Goff could be limited to a
half bath. Commissioner Goff accepted the amendment to
the motion.
Commissioner Koppelman stated that she would support
the motion after seeing the evidence that has been
• occurring and that she would like to have the condition
rectified.
Mr. Hewicker advised that the structure has a shower
head outside of the building. Mr. Hewicker suggested
that "that as long as the property is developed in
excess of 2 times the buildable area of the site ",
should be deleted from Condition No. 4 because it is
not applicable to the covenant.
Motion was voted on to approve Variance No. 1131,
subject to the findings and conditions in Exhibit "C ",
including Alternative Condition No. 3 as recommended by
the City Attorney, amended Condition No. 4, and added
Condition No. 7 to approve only a water closet and wash
All Ayes basin within the enclosed patio area. MOTION CARRIED.

installed by the developers of the Fun Zone property. Street'
City Engineer Webb will report back to the Commission
in conjunction with this matter.
Chairman Person referred to Item No. 5 of Planning

Center) pertaining to the criteria which would have to
be met prior to construction of through lanes in excess
of four lanes on MacArthur .Boulevard between Harbor
View Drive and the prolongation of the centerline of
Crown Drive. Chairman Person referred to Mr. Webb's
statement of May 22, 1986, regarding the MacArthur
Boulevard widening between the prolongation of Crown
Drive and the Coast Highway intersection and
recommended that the language contained in Resolution
No. 1139 be clarified and the intent of the Planning
Commission be explained without physically changing the
Resolution.
Mr. Webb confirmed that he had discussed this matter
with Chairman Person and that the clarification
Chairman Person had in mind was the same language that
• he had used in his statement to the Planning Commission
on May 22, 1986.

Discussion followed between Planning Commissioners
regarding the need for the clarification and the desire
to eliminate any confusion which might arise.
Following discussion by the Planning Commission, Mr.
Hewicker stated that it was his understanding from the
foregoing that the intent of the Planning Commission
was to express the fact that "the City would not be
precluded from constructing intersection improvements
at Coast Highway and MacArthur Boulevard and at
MacArthur Boulevard and 'San Miguel Drive, said
intersection improvements having been described in the
EIR for GPA 85 -1(B). It is further understood that
said intersection improvements may result in 6 lanes on
MacArthur Boulevard in the areas adjacent to said
intersections with a tapering to 4 lanes on MacArthur
Boulevard between Coast Highway and Harbor View Drive
and between the prolongation of the center line of
Crown Drive and San Miguel Drive."
• Mr. Hewicker further stated that if this language
reflects the intent of the Planning Commission then it
will be forwarded to the City Council along with the
original action taken by the Planning Commission on May
22, 1986.
Ms. Korade advised that the Planning Commission's
clarification to the City Council could be forwarded as
an attached memo, or by staff in the staff report to
City Council, but that the Planning Commission could
not prescribe the wording. In response to Commissioner
Goff, Ms. Korade replied that the Planning Commission
can convey the intent but that it .would be
inappropriate to suggest amended language to the
Resolution or to amend the Resolution.
