Approved LOCATION: Lot 241, Tract No. 4224, located at 1369 Galaxy Drive, on the northerly side of Galaxy Drive., between Rigel Circle and Polaris Drive, in Dover Shores. ZONE: R -1 -B APPLICANTS: Robert Dabrowski and Tina Seri, Newport Beach OWNER: Same as applicant APPELLANT: Roland W. Day II, Newport Beach The public hearing was opened in connection with this item, and Robert Dabrowski and Tina Seri, applicants, appeared before the Planning Commission. 'Mr. Dabrowski explained the request approved by the Modifications Committee on April 18, 1989, consists of a three car garage at the rear of the property where a portion of the structure would encroach into the rear yard setback area so as to allow space for a vehicular turning area. Mr. Dabrowski explained that the structure has been redesigned to accommodate the appellant's concerns with respect to preserving the 20 foot to 30 foot trees at the rear of the property. Mr. Dabrowski addressed the concerns that have been expressed with respect to the restricted movement of light and air. He stated that the applicants have received approval of the modification from almost all of the neighbors with the exception of Mr. Day and two of his neighbors. Mr. Dabrowski stated that Mr. Day presented a contract to the applicants requesting that they grant Mr. Day control of the applicants' rear property, and that the applicants share the cost of maintenance with the appellant. Commissioner Edwards asked if the applicants would accept an added condition stating that they would agree to maintain the existing landscaping between the garage and the rear property line. Mr. Dabrowski replied that the applicants have made a verbal commitment to maintain the -5- COMMISSIONERS 'Jf' A A�7j�F Or C� yOG F yo99�i'.p9ysJt yy9 y �� OS O June 22, 1989 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES RdWCALL INDEX existing landscaping in the event any landscaping would be destroyed during construction. Following a discussion with the Planning Commission, Mr. Dabrowski agreed to a condition stating that the applicants would replace destroyed landscaping. Commissioner Merrill commented that well- maintained landscaping would screen the garage. James Hewicker, Planning Director, addressed the proposed 21 square foot encroachment proposed for the third parking space, and he explained that if a space with a depth of 17 feet 6 inches were provided, it would not require an encroachment into the rear yard setback and still be 6 inches deeper than what the City has adopted as a "Universal" parking space and 2 feet longer than what is normally considered to be an acceptable depth for a compact parking space. Mr. Dabrowski explained that the additional depth in the garage provides a more adequate passage area to the gated backyard. Mr. Hewicker commented that the City requires a 24 foot deep backup area and the applicants are providing 27 feet. Mr. Roland Day, 1 Hampshire Court, Appellant, appeared before the Planning Commission. Mr. Day disagreed that the requested agreement would give him control of the property; however, the agreement guarantees that trees would remain on the property along their common property line. He explained that a garage adjacent to the rear wall of his property would affect the value of his property. Mr. Day stated that he is willing to concede 2 feet into the setback area as required by the City. In response to a question posed by Chairman Pomeroy, Mr. Day agreed to a condition stating that landscaping be maintained and that any landscaping that would die would be replaced with similar landscaping. Mr. Day requested that landscaping closest to the fence be replaced with landscaping of adequate height to cover up the garage. In response to questions posed by Commissioner Merrill, Mr. Day replied that there is an existing 6 foot fence, and he would agree to landscaping extending over 6 feet. Motion * Motion was made to approve Modification No. 3533, subject to the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A ", adding Condition No. 2 stating "that the applicants maintain existing landscaping and replace with similar landscaping." Commissioner Person stated that the Modification was . -6- COMMISSIONERS All Ayes 0 0 June 22, 1989 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH reasonable, and that he agreed to the foregoing condition on the basis that the applicants supported said condition. Discussion ensued between Chairman Pomeroy and Commissioner Merrill with respect to the acceptable height of the replaced landscaping. Commissioner Person accepted an amendment to the motion that the recommended height of the trees be 6 feet to 8 feet. Commissioner Debay and Commissioner Merrill addressed what affect the excavation of the garage would have on the tree roots and the planting area. Motion was voted on to approve Modification No. 3533 subject to the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A ", adding Condition No. 2 stating "That the applicants shall maintain existing landscaping between the three car garage and the rear property line, and if any trees die, said trees shall be replaced with 15 gallon trees, with minimum heights of 6 feet to 8 feet. MOTION CARRIED. FINDINGS: 1. That the proposed construction is a logical use of the property that would be precluded by strict application of the zoning requirements for this District. 2. That the proposed encroachment is a reasonable design solution and compromise for the irregularly shaped lot. 3. That the proposed encroachment will not affect the flow of air and light to adjoining residential properties inasmuch as the existing landscaping on the site has a greater impact. 4. That the proposed construction will not obstruct views from adjoining residential properties. 5. That the proposed setback encroachment is minor in nature. 6. That the encroachment is necessary to facilitate accessibility to a proposed third garage space. -7- MINUTES INDEX COMMISSIONERS June 22, 1989 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES R CALL INDEX 7.

Use Permit No. 1581 (Amended)(Public Hearlaa Item No.3 Request to amend a previously approved use permit which UP1581A permitted the establishment of the Red Onion Restaurant with live entertainment and on -sale alcoholic beverages on Approved property located in the SP -6 District. The proposed amendment involves a request to add dancing in conjunction with the live entertainment located within the upstairs lounge area.

LOCATION: Parcel No. 1 of Parcel Map 57 -25 (Resubdivision No. 375) located at 2406 Newport Boulevard, on the easterly side of Newport Boulevard, southerly of 26th Street, on the Balboa Peninsula. ZONE: SP -6 APPLICANTS: Steve and Rick Loomis (The Red Onion), Newport Beach OWNER: Mrs. Jean Belden, Newport Beach The public hearing was opened in connection with this • -8- COMMISSIONERS June 22, 1989 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES RdWCALL INDEX item, and Messrs. Steve and Rick Loomis, applicants, appeared before the Planning Commission. They concurred with the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A ". Mr. Rick Loomis requested clarification of Condition No. 9 with respect to Coastal Commission approval. James Hewicker, Planning Director, explained that the condition is a formality and puts the applicants on notice that any discretionary action approved by the City requires action by the Coastal Commission. Commissioner Debay referred to the staff report addendum that lists the offenses and the number for each offense at the Red Onion Restaurant, submitted by the Police Department as the result of consumption of alcohol from January, 1988, to June 9, 1989. Commissioner Debay asked how the bartender screens the amount of alcohol served to the customers. Steve Loomis stated that the valet attendants, management, and door attendants are trained to watch for intoxicated customers coming into the restaurant. He said that on a number of occasions when individuals were cited by the Police Department, those same individuals had been turned away from the restaurant prior to entering the restaurant. He said that because the individual's automobile was in the parking lot, the offender will state that he was last at the restaurant. Steve Loomis explained that customers often park their automobiles in the Red Onion Restaurant's parking lot, and patronize nearby establishments before entering the restaurant. Rick Loomis stated that the one listed offense with respect to overcrowding was an offense that was the City's error and has been modified. In reference to the drunk on a bike offense, Mr. Loomis stated that it was not certain if the offender had been drinking at the restaurant even if the bicycle was on the property. In response to the Police Department's concerns that dancing will result in more drinking, Steve Loomis replied that the customers drink less when they are dancing. Commissioner Person stated that considering the restaurant's volume over an 18 month period, that the six "drunk in public" offensives is not excessive. Commissioner Person stated that the overcrowding, subsequently refigured and corrected, pertains to the extra square footage that was allowed four years ago. He further stated that the applicants carefully watch the number of people that are allowed upstairs. Commissioner -9- COMMISSIONERS June 22, 1989 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Person stated that the 15 "driving under the influence of alcohol" infractions is not an excessive number, and the individuals could have been drinking at nearby establishments. Commissioner Person addressed the correlation between the number of contacts and dancing, and he said that the City needs to be concerned if dancing inherently creates problems. Steve Loomis stated that at a recent Police Department seminar relating to alcohol, he spoke to Police Officer Payoyo who has been on nightwatch for more than four years on the Balboa Peninsula, and Officer Payoyo reported that the restaurant has never given the Police Department any problems. Mr. Loomis explained that the time the restaurant initially contacts the Police Department is when the report is recorded. In response to numerous questions posed by Commissioner Merrill, Steve and Rick Loomis replied that the restaurant contacts the Police Department if they think a customer could be a problem, and they try to correct the problem before the customer enters the restaurant. Rick Loomis is stated that based on owning and operating the Red Onion Restaurant for several years, they have a good chance of spotting a potential problem, and they attempt to correct the problem immediately. He further stated that they do not hesitate contacting the Police Department if there is an element that they do not want in the restaurant. 0 Commissioner Di Sano expressed his concern with respect to the offenses as they were reported in the staff report addendum. He stated that it was unfair to the applicants inasmuch as the Planning Commission cannot determine how the figures compare to the other restaurants in the City of similar size and type. Commissioner Person agreed that it was unfair, and he stated that the concerns came up in the same manner at the June 21, 1984, Planning Commission meeting. In response to questions posed by Commissioner Winburn, Steve Loomis replied that Fridays,, Saturdays, and Sundays are the busiest times when the crowds are controlled by keeping the customers outside the building. He stated that there are doormen downstairs and upstairs as well as two managers on the floor on the weekends. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Winburn with respect to Condition No. 11, stating that "the dance floor shall be -10- MINUTES INDEX COMMISSIONERS yOG�$��Nyy�CC�� 00,E June 22, 1989 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES ROL CALL INDEX increased to a minimum size of 400 square feet unless said permit is approved for a smaller floor. ", Mr. Loomis replied that the applicants would abide by said condition. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Person with respect to the upstairs occupant load, Mr. Hewicker explained that the dance floor increases the occupant load of the building. William Laycock, Current Planning Manager, explained that the occupant load of a dance floor is calculated at 7 square feet per person compared to a typical restaurant's floor area of 15 square feet per person. Mr. Hewicker stated that he has observed a red sports car parked in the restaurant's handicapped parking stall illegally inasmuch as he was informed that the automobile owner is not handicapped. Rick Loomis replied that he is the owner of said automobile. Mr. Loomis explained that when a valet is on duty an individual attending the restaurant may have his or her automobile parked in the handicapped parking stall; however, if a handicapped person arrives and wants to park in the handicapped parking stall, the automobile that is parked in said stall • is removed, parked elsewhere, and the handicapped person's automobile is parked in the handicapped stall. Mr. Loomis further explained that if a valet is not on duty, the handicapped parking stall is only available to the handicapped. Rich Edmonston, City Traffic Engineer, explained that to valet park an automobile for the handicapped is not consistent with the California Vehicle Code governing handicap parking. Rick Loomis stated that a State representative informed him that it is legal for a valet to park automobiles for handicapped persons. Mr. Edmonston explained that the State Architect Office advised him that valet parking a vehicle for the handicapped is completely unacceptable inasmuch as many of the vehicles have control devices that would be unsafe to an unfamiliar person. In response to Chairman Pomeroy and Commissioner Person, Mr. Edmonston stated that the valet cannot be the only option to a handicap person. Discussion ensued between Rick Loomis, Commissioner Winburn, Commissioner Merrill, and Mr. Edmonston with respect to valet attendant's parking handicapped vehicles, and if the Police Department can cite • -11- COMMISSIONERS Z�G c^ 9�OZZi99 qZ �. 9Z90 yl�a�,o June 22, 1989 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES RO CALL INDEX automobiles that are parked in handicapped parking stalls by valets that were not marked as handicapped vehicles. Chairman Pomeroy recommended that Condition No. 12 be amended to state that "...shall be identified by one handicapped sign on a post and one handicapped sign on the pavement." Chairman Pomeroy, Commissioner Winburn, Commissioner Edwards, and Mr. Hewicker addressed how to enforce the handicapped parking regulations. Commissioner Winburn stated that if the law specifies that the handicapped parking space shall remain open only for handicapped vehicles, then establishments throughout the City should be put on notice because valet parked automobiles are always parked in handicapped parking spaces and said automobiles are only removed upon request. Commissioner Edwards stated that it was his understanding that the handicapped parking stall shall remain open and can only be occupied by an automobile that has a handicapped sticker, and if a vehicle is parked in a handicapped stall without a sticker it is in violation of the law. Carol Korade, Assistant City Attorney, stated that the law does not address valet parking per se, but when valet parking occurs, handicapped parking spaces must be accessible to the handicapped at all times. Mr. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, appeared before the Planning Commission to address the handicapped parking stall; the Police Department log; and the correlation between drinking and dancing and the size of the dance floor. Mr. Greg Cook, 7 Swift Court, appeared before the Planning Commission in support of the applicants' request for a dance floor. He stated that the Red Onion Restaurant has done a good job of policing the parking lot and the establishment. Mr. Dwight Belden, 1350 West Bay Avenue, son of the property owner, appeared before the Planning Commission. Mr. Belden stated the overcrowding citation that was issued during the past 18 months has been modified. He stated that the property owners concur with the conditions of the use permit and support the applicants' request; that the applicants are no longer a part of the original Red Onion Restaurant enterprise; that they operate a i -12- COMMISSIONERS 9 7 June 22, 1989 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES RdWCALL INDEX quality establishment; that the applicants confront and follow through with any problems that occur; and the property owners fully support any permits that Rick and Steve Loomis may request. Mr. Dean Sweeney, 105 Via Yells, appeared before the Planning Commission to state his support of the request for a dance floor inasmuch as dancing would be good clean fun and would be advantageous to the restaurant and to the community. There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the public hearing was closed at this time. Motion * Motion was made to approve Use Permit No. 1581 (Amended) subject to the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A ", that Condition No. 12 shall be modified to state "..and a handicapped sign on the pavement." In response to a question posed by Commissioner Debay, Chairman Pomeroy replied that the handicapped parking requirements shall be enforced according to the law, that there would be no special consideration for valet parking, • and the handicapped parking space would always be available for the handicapped. Commissioner Person stated that the operators of the Red Onion Restaurant have been good over the years, contrary to the offenses reported in the addendum to the staff report. Motion was voted on to approve Use Permit No. 1581 (Amended) subject to the findings and conditions in All Ayes Exhibit "A ", including modified Condition No. 12. MOTION CARRIED. Findings: 1. That the proposed development is consistent with the General Plan and the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan and is compatible with surrounding land uses. 2.
