PROJECT SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to Use Permit No. 2004 -049 to
allow a change in the operational characteristics of an existing eating and drinking
establishment. The applicant requests to add 243 square feet of storage area on the
first floor and to enclose an existing 135 - square -foot patio on the second floor for office
use. Pursuant to Section 20.85.060 (Changes in Operational Characteristics) of the
Municipal Code, an amendment to the use permit is required because the increase in

Proiect Settin
Rudy's Pub & Grill is a full - service, high turnover eating and drinking establishment
located on the northwest corner of Newport Boulevard and 31St Street in the area
referred to as Cannery Village. The site is developed with a 4,344- square -foot two -story
building and a 27 -stall parking lot. The restaurant features indoor and outdoor dining
areas, a full bar, kitchen and storage areas, restrooms, and office space.
Project Description
The applicant requests to add 243 square feet to the first floor on the north side of the
existing building to accommodate additional storage and cooler space, and a new
covered trash enclosure area.
The applicant also requests to enclose an existing 135- square -foot covered outdoor
patio to provide additional office space for the general managers and owners of the
restaurant. This area is located on the second floor at the southeast side of the building
adjacent to the alley. The enclosure of this patio would require the approval of a
modification permit because this portion of the building encroaches 4 feet into the 10-
foot alley setback.
The proposed first and second floor additions would result in an increase of 378 square
feet of gross floor area. Pursuant to Section 20.82.060, an increase in gross floor area
in excess of 250 square feet constitutes a change in operational characteristics and
requires an amendment to the Use Permit. No other changes to the restaurant
operations are requested at this time.
Background
The building was constructed and approved for occupancy in August 1970, and opened
for business as the Original House of Pies. The City approved Modification Permit No.
201 to allow the structure to encroach 4 feet into the required 10 -foot alley setback to
accommodate a 10 -foot wide street dedication for Newport Boulevard, which renders
the existing building as a legal nonconforming structure.
In 1978, the Planning Commission approved Use Permit No. 1853 to allow the remodel
of the original building and to authorize the sale of alcoholic beverages for on -site
consumption. In 1979, the Planning Commission approved an amendment to Use
Permit No. 1853 to allow live entertainment.
Use Permit No. 1853 was amended again on March 3, 2005, when the Planning
Commission approved Use Permit No. 2004 -049 to allow an addition and alterations to
the existing structure. The alterations included the installation of a retractable roof over
a portion of the main dining area and bar, and substantial changes to the interior of the
5
Rudy's Pub & Grill
April 17, 2008
Page 4
building. A new 310- square -foot outdoor dining area was added at the front of the
property adjacent to Newport Boulevard. Also approved was a second floor addition to
provide 663 square feet of office space and adjoining covered patio areas. This
addition and the patio areas are located above the existing structure that encroaches 4
feet into the 10 -foot alley setback, which was approved by Modification Permit No.
2004 -089.
A waiver of restaurant development standards pertaining to site requirements, and
setbacks, and a reduction of an off - street parking space was included with the approval
of Use Permit No. 2004 -049. The requirement for a 6- foot -high interior side property
line wall was eliminated due to concerns about security and trash accumulation, and the
requirement for a 3- foot -high wall between the parking lot and right -of -way was satisfied
with landscape areas. The number of off- street parking spaces provided on -site prior to
implementation of Use Permit No. 2004 -049 was 28 stalls, and the approved project
provides 27 stalls. The reduction of one surplus space was due to the provision of
disabled parking areas, landscape areas and an exterior open staircase that provides
access to the second floor office space and covered patio areas.
A copy of the Findings and Conditions of Approval for Use Permit No. 2004 -049 and
Modification Permit No. 2004 -089 are attached as Exhibit 2. The Planning Commission
Meeting Minutes for March 3, 2005, are attached as Exhibit 3. The following table
provides a summary of the project site, the operational characteristics pursuant to Use
Permit No. 2004 -049 and the changes proposed by this amendment.

DISCUSSION
Analysis
General Plan
The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the project site as Visitor
Serving Commercial. This designation is intended to provide for accommodations,
goods, and services for visitors to the City of Newport Beach. Eating and drinking
establishments are consistent with this land use designation.
The General Plan also designates the site with a fixed floor area ratio of 0.50, and the
proposed project has a 0.32 FAR, as defined by Chapter 20.62 (Floor Area Ratios and
Building Bulk) of the Zoning Code.
F1oorArea Ratio
At the time Use Permit No. 2004 -049 was approved in March 2005, the General Plan
assigned a variable floor area ratio to the site (0.5/1.0 FAR). The permitted gross floor
area for sites designated with a variable FAR varies according to the use of the site, and
eating and drinking establishments are subject to a reduced FAR of 0.3, pursuant to
Table 20.63 of the Zoning Code.
As noted above, the site is now designated with a fixed floor area ratio by the General
Plan, thus allowing the site to be developed up to the maximum 0.50 FAR, pursuant to
Section 20.63.040 A -1 (Land Use Intensities — Fixed Designation).
The applicant requests to add 378 square feet of gross floor area to the existing 4,344 -
square -foot eating and drinking establishment. The proposed total gross square
footage on the site would be 4,722 square feet, or 0.32 FAR, which would be well below
the maximum floor area ratio.
Off -Street Parking
The off - street parking requirement for eating and drinking establishments is one parking
space for every 30 to 50 square feet of net public area, depending on the operational
characteristics of the restaurant. In this case, the restaurant provides one parking
space for each 50 square feet of net public area, or 27 parking spaces.
Net public area is defined as the area used to serve customers, including customer
sales and display areas, seating areas, service counters, and service queue and waiting
areas. Office space, storage and utility areas, restrooms, and kitchens are excluded
from this area.
The proposed addition is intended to provide additional food storage and cooler space,
and a new trash enclosure on the first floor, and additional office space on the second
floor. These areas are ancillary to the restaurant operations and are not a part of the
1
Rudy's Pub & Grill
April 17, 2008
Page 6
net public area. Therefore, additional parking spaces would not be required in
conjunction with the proposed addition.
Use Permit Findings
As stated above in this report, an increase in gross floor area in excess of 250 square
feet constitutes a change in operational characteristics and requires an amendment to
Use Permit No. 2004 -049. Section 20.91.035 requires that the Planning Commission
make certain findings in order to approve a use permit application. The findings and
facts in support of such findings are listed and discussed below.
1. That the proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of this code
and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
The project is located within the Cannery Village /McFadden Square Specific Plan
District (SP -6) with a land use designation of Specialty Retail (SR). The Cannery
Village area is intended to serve as an active pedestrian- oriented specialty retail
area with a wide range of visitor - serving, neighborhood commercial, and marine -
related uses. Eating and drinking establishments are a permitted use in the
Specialty Retail land use designation subject to the approval of a use permit.
The use of the site will remain consistent with the SP -6 /SR designation.
2. That the proposed location of the use permit and the proposed conditions under
which it would be operated or maintained will be consistent with the General Plan
and the purpose of the district in which the site is located, will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of persons
residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use, and will not
be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general
welfare of the city.
The existing restaurant is consistent with the Visitor Serving Commercial land
use designation of the General Plan, and with the SP -6 /SR designation. The
conditions under which the existing establishment shall continue to be operated
and maintained are consistent with the land use designations, and comply with
the applicable zoning regulations of the SP -6 District.
The proposed increase of 378 square feet of gross floor area to the existing
eating and drinking establishment will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in or
adjacent to the neighborhood of the use; and will not be detrimental to properties
or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the city for the
following reasons:
• The project site is located in a commercially- designated area and surrounded
by visitor - serving, retail and commercial uses, with some mixed
residential/commercial uses to the east of the site. Restaurant uses, with
appropriate conditions, are compatible with the surrounding uses.
b;
Rudy's Pub & Grill
April 17, 2008
Page 7
• The project site has been maintained for restaurant uses since 1970 and has
not proven to be a public nuisance or detriment to the neighborhood or
community.
• The additional square footage on the first floor will provide for more storage
space and a new trash enclosure, which will alleviate storage overflow and
will aesthetically improve the undeveloped side yard area.
• Existing conditions of approval will be carried forward from Use Permit No.
2004 -049 with this amendment that address public safety, noise regulations,
water quality, and property maintenance.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the provisions of this code, including any
specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be
located.
The proposed increase of 378 square feet of gross floor area to the existing
eating and drinking establishment would comply with the land use and
development regulations of the SP -6 /SR District, and would substantially comply
with the restaurant design and development standards for a full - service, high
turnover eating and drinking establishment. The reduction of one surplus parking
space was granted by Use Permit No. 2004 -049 due to the availability of metered
parking adjacent to City Hall, metered parking in the municipal parking lot located
at Villa Way and 30th Street, and street parking in the area, and the fact that
patrons in the area tend to walk or ride bicycles to the establishment.
Modification Permit
A modification permit is requested to allow the enclosure of the existing 135 - square -foot
covered outdoor patio on the second floor because this portion of the building
encroaches 4 feet into the 10 -foot alley setback. The Planning Commission approved
Modification Permit No. 2004 -089 concurrent with the approval of Use Permit No. 2004-
049 to allow this patio area and portions of the second floor office space to encroach
into the setback. The proposed enclosure of the 135 - square -foot covered outdoor patio
would be consistent with the previous approval.
Pursuant to Section 20.93.030, a modification permit may be granted if certain findings
can be met. These findings and facts in support of such findings are as follows:
1. The granting of the application is necessary due to practical difficulties associated
with the property and that the strict application of the Zoning Code results in
physical hardships that are inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the Zoning
Code.
A modification permit was originally granted in 1970 to allow relief of a 10 -foot wide
street dedication for Newport Boulevard. On March 3, 2005, the Planning
Commission approved Modification Permit No. 2004 -089 to allow the existing
second floor office space and patio areas to encroach 4 feet into the required 10- q
Rudy's Pub & Grill
April 17, 2008
Page 8
foot alley setback. The granting of this Modification Permit is a minor revision to the
previously approved modifications to allow encroachments into the required 10 -foot
alley setback.
In this case, the practical difficulty associated with the site is the 10 -foot wide street
dedication, the size of the lot, and the location of the existing building, which
currently encroaches 4 feet into the 10 -foot alley setback on both the first and
second floors. The existing patio is covered by a solid roof and supported by solid
walls and columns. Strict application of the required 10 -foot setback would not be
practical.
Consistent with Sections 20.62.040 and 20.62.050 (Nonconforming Structures and
Nonconforming Parking) of the Zoning Code, the proposed expansion to allow floor
area to be added to an existing legal nonconforming structure is within the limits
permitted by right.
2. The requested modification will be compatible with existing development in the
neighborhood
Many of the existing properties in the neighborhood encroach to some degree into
alley setbacks, including the buildings in the subject block. Two -story structures
directly adjacent to an alley are similar to the existing building. The enclosure of the
second floor patio will not alter the footprint of the existing building, and would be
compatible with existing development in the neighborhood.
3. The granting of such an application will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the property and will not be
detrimental to the general weffare or injurious to property or improvements in the
neighborhood.
The enclosure of the second floor patio will not result in any additional
encroachment into the required 10 -foot alley setback or change the footprint of
the existing structure. The existing second floor area has been in its present
configuration since 2005 and has not proven to be a detriment to the
neighborhood.
Alternatives
1. If the Planning Commission determines that not all the facts in support of the
findings can be made for the applicant's request, the Planning Commission
should direct staff to prepare findings and a resolution denying the request and
return at the next available Planning Commission meeting date with such
resolution for adoption; or
2. The Planning Commission may suggest specific project modifications that are
needed for approval. If this is done, the item should be continued if the changes
are reasonable and easy to incorporate. If substantial changes are directed, the
item should be removed from calendar to allow redesign of the project.

Environmental Review
This project has been reviewed, and it has been determined to be categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class
1 (Existing Facilities) because the proposed 378 - square -foot addition of gross floor area
is minor in nature.
Public Notice
Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to property owners within
300 feet of the property and posted at the site a minimum of 10 days in advance of this
hearing consistent with the Municipal Code. Additionally, the item appeared upon the
agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the city website.

RESOLUTION NO. 1660
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING USE PERMIT NO.
2004 -049 AND MODIFICATION PERMIT NO. 2004 -089 FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3110 NEWPORT BOULEVARD
(PA2004 -273)
WHEREAS, an application was filed by TC Holdings, with respect to property located at
3110 Newport Boulevard, and legally described as Lots 3,4,5,6,7,8 of Block 431 of Lancaster's'
Addition to Newport Beach requesting approval of Use Permit No. 2004049 to allow additions
and alterations to an exiting eating and drinking establishment and approval of a Modification
Permit to allow the alteration and addition to an existing building that would encroach 4 feet
within the required 10 -foot alley setback.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on February 17, 2005 in the City Hall Council
Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and
purpose of the aforesaid meeting was given. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to
and considered by the Planning Commission at this meeting.
Now, therefore the Planning Commission hereby resolves as follows:
Section No. 1: The Planning Commission makes the following findings:
1. The site is designated Retail and Service Commercial by the General Plan Land Use
Element. Eating and drinking establishments with the on -site alcoholic beverage service
are permitted within this land use designation subject to compliance with applicable
zoning regulations.
2. The project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, comfort, or welfare
of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not
be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of
the City for the following reasons:
a. The project site is located in a commercially designated area and surrounding land
uses are dominated by retail commercial, and visitor serving uses and some mixed
residential /commercial uses are in the vicinity. The project site is not located in close
proximity to other sensitive land uses such as day care centers, schools, parks and
recreation facilities or places of religious assembly.
b. Use of the project site for an eating and drinking establishment has occurred since the
early 1970's and it has not been determined to be a public nuisance or otherwise
detrimental to the community.
c. Project implementation will create a more aesthetically pleasing site through an
innovative design that is generally consistent with the design theme for the Cannery
Village area. The use of a metal roof and open staircase provide a modest amount of
marine or industrial elements that are reminiscent of the past use of the Cannery Village.
Ack
City of Newport Beach

d. The project includes conditions related to public safety, noise abatement, water quality
and property maintenance that will reduce current and avoid future potential land use
compatibility issues. Prohibiting music of any kind on the proposed outdoor patio, closure
of the patio at 10PM and closure of the retractable roof and wall at 10PM will ensure that
noise will be confined within the building during the evening and night hours. The lack of
live entertainment and dancing will also reduce potential noise related issues. The
addition of live entertainment or dancing is a substantial operational change that would
require an amendment to this permit.
e. The reduction of one parking space in association with the proposed project is not
significant given the availability of street parking in the area and the fact that people in the
area tend to walk or bike to the existing establishment and are likely to continue to do so.
3. The granting of the requested encroachment within the alley setback (MD2004 -089) is
necessary due to practical difficulties associated with the property due to the size of the lot
and the location of the existing building. A second floor addition constructed in conformance
with the 10 -foot setback would require additional structural supports within the interior of the
building that could lead to inefficient use of interior spaces. Other locations for the addition
would either eliminate parking or eliminate the ability to have the proposed retractable roof.
These hardships associated with the strict application of the setback standard result in a
circumstance that is inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code which is to
promote the growth of the City of Newport Beach in an orderly and beneficial manner while
promoting and protecting the public health, safety, peace, comfort and general welfare.
4. The requested setback encroachment is compatible with existing development in the
neighborhood because reduced alley setbacks within the in the Canner Village area are
common. Existing buildings on the subject block, including the existing building, presently
encroach within the alley setback to some degree. Additionally, two -story building mass is
also common directly abutting public sidewalks and alleys.
5. The Traffic Engineer has no concerns with the proposed encroachments within the alley
setback given the prior approval of the existing building encroaching 4 feet within the 10-
foot setback and the fact that further encroachment is minimized. The request will
effectively leave the alley approximately 20 feet in width, which presently permits
adequate vehicle maneuvering. The two story building area that would result from the
approval of the request complies with applicable height limits and would not directly
impact any abutting property given their use and setbacks to nearby structures.
6. The project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15302 (Class 2) of
the implementing guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act. This exemption
covers the replacement or reconstruction of existing public or private structures provided
that they do not result in any environmental impact. The expansion of the facility is minor
and the site has no significant environmental resources that would be impacted by the
construction and operation of the project.

and the new second floor office space that encroach 4 feet into the required 10

iairperson Tucker noted that in the staff report, the conditions that were propose

is easier for them to just flip back and see what the condition actually said in the to
the staff report. I would like to have that resume, otherwise we are just hunting ar

Mr. Ramirez noted:
One that was omitted is a standard condition that requires that a Water Qu
Management Plan be approved by both the Public Works Department and
Building Department prior to issuance of a Building Permit.
The other two are related to the side walls conditions 42 and 43. Number 42 is

parking lot and the adjacent right -of -way. Staff believes, through working with
applicant and their landscape architect, we can provide landscaping in that a
that would create better aesthetics than a solid wall in that area. Therefore,

Pdard of the Specific Plan and do you not have a problem with deleting it? Wh
't you want to permit heaters in the outdoor area as listed in condition 41?
Ramirez noted that condition 43 is a Restaurant Development standard. TI

One of the things that is not there is a pool table. Is that going away or is it on

lei design to have it become more of a restaurant bar as opposed to just

Ramirez answered that they want to upgrade the facility to a nicer rr
ifortable place to relax and have food and drink. As far as the pool table goes,
discuss that and the applicant deleted it from the plans. He would have to cc
k to get approval for a pool table to go in there in the future.

Selich asked about the seating arrangement.

like there are three stalls for women. Is that how it is in the Code?

exciting idea. He noted his concern about the parking space loss and asked abc
location of the stairwell that takes that parking space. Parking is a premium and
Ad like to see if there is some way to regain that space.
Ramirez answered the stairwell on the southerly side provides access to
)posed new second floor offices. As designed now, it does not look to be v
ough to accommodate an additional space. Whether or not striping can be modi
;ewhere may be a possibility. If that stairwell was removed then another space cc
squeezed in there. The standard space width is 8 feet 6 inches, so they would h
pick up a little over a foot to put a space there; however, you may lose some of

hairperson Tucker asked if there was something in the restrictions regarding the
;ontinuing, Mr. Carson noted that closing the patio at 10 p.m. is difficult especially
omparison with other restaurant patios that are allowed to be used until closing. P
tr as the restriction on noise, we have no problem with not having piped in music
omething to the outside after 10 p.m. There is no reason to have music out there. p
tr as our patrons to be able to be out there, that does hurt us and makes it difficult tc
we reach our capacity and we then have to basically remove people off the patio ,
0 p.m. That would not be customer friendly and would make it difficult for us 1
inction. We agree on other things to keep the noise down such as the roof closing
0 p.m. As far as the noise, we haven't done a study but we sit at an intersection th;
probably the busiest intersection down here with traffic and noise. There is also to
bout widening the street, which means there will be more traffic. There is more nois
reated from that intersection than is caused from that patio, so we would like to keep
pen all hours of business. The patio area has a total of 6 feet of wall as a barrier.
tinuing, he noted the live entertainment; they would like to have it at their bar. VI
not looking to have that noise after 10 p.m., so if you want to condition that ar
the timeframes, that makes sense to us. We envision a guitar being used moi
ng the summer daytime. The retractable wall will be closed at 10 p.m. as there is
on one of them for egress and ingress.
Ramirez noted that condition 9 states that, 'the second floor office space shall
used for commercial activities associated with and in support of the eating
king establishment. The office area shall not be leased or rented as a sep;
.' We can clarify that with second floor office space and patio area.
Tucker stated that we could come up with language on condition 10.
>. Temple noted that during the development of this application and the plan to me
the criteria and avoid the need to go to the Coastal Commission there was a lot
irk done on the design of this project. As we worked with this we were concern
out the possibility of the second floor office area being leased off separately and r
ad at all as part of the restaurant. The way they are proposing to use it, it would r
unt as part of the floor area used to measure parking requirements. The second p
it was the design of the patios did change because as they were originally propos
-y looked very susceptible to enclosure for additional office space. Once again, t
ncems were exceeding floor area ratio, exceeding the Coastal Commissi
eshold. So these two conditions, 9 and 10, were intended to address those b
ncerns. I would think that if the Commission wants to clearly state that the use of t
do is not for patrons of the restaurant but only for other employees of t
fablishment, that would be yet another condition.
rperson Tucker noted that is where he is headed because he is concerned that
inally they are asking for less than 400 square feet of addition, but when you start
ig additional bodies on additional patios, even though it doesn't count as floor are
it the technical definition of our code, there is a parking demand that is associated
it. I personally would like that type of condition.

mmissioner McDaniel noted he has no trouble with live entertainment as it is a
d as it is. He would allow the live entertainment up to 10:00 p.m. It is quieter
n it is outside. He would say live entertainment inside done at 10 p.m., that
his proposal.
Toerge noted the request is to allow the patio to be open until 2 a.m.
r. Carson noted we serve until 1:30 a.m. and then we clean up and people pay th
Ils. We would like to serve breakfast on the weekends so we would like to open up
a.m.
Tucker noted the issues to be decided:
• Outdoor patio operating hours.
• Okay with the roof retraction hours.
• Live entertainment up until 10:00 p.m. and staged inside.
• Operating hours to open at 6:00 a.m.
• Limiting the upper patios to the employees' use only.
• The loss of the one parking space.
outdoor patio hours:
nissioner Toerge noted it would not be unreasonable to have the outdoor dinii
1 an hour or two before the close of business at 2:00 a.m. There is some offs
because of the location and being so close to the road. It wouldn't create
hip on the business if it were to close an hour or two before the 2:00 a.m. closh
maybe at midnight. I do believe as it gets later at night that certainly aft
ght the impact of the noise of the road is far less, there are residents down 31
and maybe 32nd Street that might hear the noise there. I am not sure he
of a negative impact it will create for the bar if it is closed at midnight or 12:30.
hairperson Tucker clarified that the property next to this establishment is zoned
)mmercial below and residential above.
Temple noted that there are some second floor residential in some proximity and
r properties can be developed with mixed use as well. While there may be outdoor
)s that have lesser regulations, this has been a standard request of the Police
artment for at least the last five to eight years. That doesn't mean you can'
ige it because if the context of this property is different, certainly longer operational

Selich asked about the restrictions on the outdoor patio of El Ranchito.
Temple noted she would have to research the outdoor patio uses; however, n(
El Ranchito has been there a long time and their patio is almost fully enclosed.

imissioner Toerge noted his concern of the music inside and doors opening w

icularly 1:00 a.m., I think it creates problems. I am sympathetic to the idea ab(
smoking issue, but it should be closed well before 2:00 a.m., that is too late.
Id agree closing at midnight.
McDaniel noted he would support midnight closure as well.
ssioner Cole noted that there is a condition that allows the Planning Director

subject to that condition. If there is a problem, we can take action. Is tt
Ramirez noted that the way condition 25 is written, it addresses only the
the wall, etc. We could include the patio area in that condition.

space loss issue and asked Commissioner Hawkins what he is proposing
)mmissioner Hawkins asked if there were any parking in -lieu fees that can be
this location or is re- design the only option to recover the lost parking space?

Temple answered that re- design is the only option. The City did at one time have

n if it is still there, the City was never willing to charge more than $150 a year.
