Mr. Gabriele stated that the Police Department feels
that because of the unusual configuration of the
restaurant and bar area, and the lighting of the
facility, it is difficult for the bartender to monitor
the areas in which the patrons are drinking and /or
eating.
Mr. Gabriele stated that the Police Department has
taken the position that wherever there are continuing,
serious problems, the problems need to be addressed and
corrected, or the operation itself needs to be shut
down.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Person,
Mr. Gabriele stated that the problems cited above all
occurred in 1982.
In response to a question posed by Chairman King,

Control Board (ABC) steps in and takes action against a
business with violations. Mr. Gabriele stated that he
is not aware of any specific actions which the ABC has
taken against the business in question. He stated that
depending upon the timeframe in which the violations
occur, the ABC utilizes a graduated disciplinary
process, such as the ABC can fine a business for the
first offense, impose a higher fine for the second
offense and possibly suspend the license for a third
offense.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Goff,
Mr. Gabriele stated that the use does not contain a
specifically identifiable bar area because the
restaurant area accommodates both the bar and eating
area. He stated.that minors are allowed access to all
areas of the use, because food is served in all areas

or alcohol to be served.

Mr. Clabaugh referred to a letter dated May 17, 1982,
from the City of Newport Beach to Mr. Novak, the
applicant, in which it states the conditions of
approval which were imposed by the Planning Commission
in 1970 and further states that the use would expire on
June 2, 1982, which would be subject to review by the
Modifications Committee. However, he stated that the
applicant received a letter from the City Attorney
dated August 1, 1983, which states that the use permit
expired in 1977.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Balalis, Mr. Clabaugh stated that the applicant
purchased the property 28 months ago. Mr. Clabaugh
stated that he is not sure as to whether the applicant
was aware of the conditions of approval which existed
on the use permit at the time the applicant started the

• Mr. Nichols stated that the applicant was aware that
the use permit would expire on June 2; 1982, yet the

addition was submitted after the November 19, 1970,
Planning Commission approval of the amended use permit.

was located in the Building Department files and was
most likely submitted prior to the Planning Commission

Mr. Gabriele stated that the following criteria may be
utilized in determining that the service of alcoholic
beverages is incidental to the food service: the
overall gross receipts on food versus alcohol; the
number of customers consuming food versus alcohol; and,
the square footage of the bar area versus the square
footage of the eating areas.
Commissioner Goff pointed out that if food is no longer
served after 9:30 p:m., then essentially, the eating
area then becomes a drinking area for the patrons of
the bar. He stated that there needs to be a way in
which to monitor that the primary use of the business
is for the service of food, rather than for the service
of alcohol. Planning Director Hewicker stated that
Condition No. 13 is a difficult condition to monitor
and enforce.
• Commissioner Person stated that it is common for a
restaurant operation to discontinue their food service
at 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. and continue the service of
alcoholic beverages for the remainder of the evening.
Planning Director Hewicker referred to Condition No. 16
and stated that the Zoning Code provides that the
operation of the mechanical equipment shall not result
in any increase in noise levels over the ambient level,
in this instance meaning East Coast Highway.

Code be appropriately addressed; and, that the existing
video games shall be licensed or removed if the

In response to a question posed by Chairman King, Mr.

jurisdiction over the use. He stated that such a
condition can be imposed on the applicant if the
Commission feels that a Health Department determination
is necessary.
Commissioner Goff stated that when he had visited the
• use, portions of the restroom facility were inoperable.
Mr. Gabriele suggested that perhaps a City inspector
could inspect the premises for. any violations. He
stated that the City inspector could then refer any
violations to the Health Department for their action.
He further suggested that any Code violations should be
complied within a reasonable period of time from the
date of notice.

Municipal Code, the Planning Commission has the
authority to recommend the revocation of a use permit
to the City Council. He stated that the addition of
such wording would be creating an additional authority
to automatically warrant a reconsideration of the
operational characteristics.
Mr. Gabriele suggested that the condition could also

which states the revocation.procedure.
Commissioner Balalis stated that by utilizing the above

business, is made aware of the options which the
Planning Commission may consider.
Planning Director Hewicker suggested that a finding be
added which would state that if the applicant does not
comply with the conditions which have been attached to

Commissioner Goff referred to Condition No. 8 and
Condition No. .12 and suggested that these conditions be

consideration of developing a common parking design
between his property and the adjoining commercial
property located to the north so as to maximize the

In response to a question posed by Commissioner Person,
Commissioner Goff referred to Condition No. 11 and
stated that the condition should remain as worded, and
when the Commission reviews the use permit in three
months, the Commission can then determine if the
applicant has sufficiently obtained the off -site
parking spaces.
Commissioner Balalis expressed his concern that if the
applicant is not able to obtain the additional
off -site parking spaces within the three month period,
then Condition No. 17, relating to the hours of
operation, should be amended to a closing time of 11:00
p.m. He stated that in this way, the patrons of the
restaurant which park their vehicles on the street,
