Use Permit No. 2004 -049 &
Modification Permit No. 2004 -089 (PA2004 -273)
APPLICANT: Eric Aust for TC Holdings, Owners
INTRODUCTION
The applicant requests approval of a Use Permit to allow additions and alterations to an
existing eating and drinking establishment. The applicant proposes to add a retractable
roof over a portion of the building, an exterior patio adjacent to Newport Boulevard and
second floor office space. The Modification Permit request is to permit first floor alterations
and the addition of second floor office space proposed to encroach 4 feet into the required
10 -foot alley setback.
Staff recommends approval of Use Permit No. 2004 -049 and Modification Permit No.
2004 -089, subject to the findings and conditions of approval contained within the
attached draft resolution (Exhibit No. 1).
DISCUSSION
Site Overview
Rudy's Pub and Grill is located on the northwesterly corner of Newport Boulevard and
318t Street in the Cannery Village /McFadden Square Speck Plan area. The site is
currently developed with a 3,984 square foot building. The building was constructed in
the early 1970's and opened for business as the Original House of Pies. In conjunction
with the original construction, the City approved a Modification Permit to allow the
existing building to encroach 4 feet into the required 10 -foot alley setback. This approval
was in conjunction with a 10 -foot wide street dedication for Newport Boulevard.

In 1978 the Planning Commission approved Use Permit No. 1853 allowing the remodel
of the facility and authorizing the sale of alcoholic beverage for on -site consumption.
This approval was followed by another approval in 1978 allowing live entrainment. The
existing establishment is currently operating under the conditions of this Use Permit
(Exhibit No. 2).

Project Overview
The applicant proposes to expand and substantially renovate the existing buildings. A
retractable roof is proposed over a portion of the main bar and dining area
(approximately 942 square feet) and a new 310 square foot outdoor patio is proposed
adjacent to Newport Boulevard. The wall separating the interior of the restaurant and
the new patio is proposed to be retractable, allowing free movement between the two
areas. The new outdoor patio area will screened by a 6 -foot high combination block and
glass wall that will provide some sound and wind protection for patrons. The proposed
patio wall is setback 5 -feet from the existing sidewalk in order to remain clear of an
existing 5 -foot right of way easement and to provide area for required landscaping. The
project also includes a 663 square foot, second floor office area with two adjoining patio
areas (totaling 320 square feet). A Modification Permit is necessary to for this addition
because it encroaches within the 10 -foot alley setback. The applicant indicates that the
use of the second floor office and patio areas is for the restaurant staff in conjunction
with the operation of the restaurant. Access to this area will be provided by an interior
spiral staircase that leads directly to the restaurant and an open exterior stair. The
proposed project also includes parking lot re- striping and new landscape areas.

ANALYSIS
General Plan
Rudy's Pub and Grill
March 3, 2005
Page 4
The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the project site as Retail and
Service Commercial. Eating and drinking establishments with the on -site alcoholic
beverage service are permitted within this land use designation. The General Plan also
limits commercial development to 0.5 FAR and the project is 0.29 FAR as defined by
Chapter 20.63 (Floor Area Ratios and Building Bulk) of the Zoning Code.
Floor Area Ratio
Staff has determined that the use is classified as a Full Service, High Turnover, Eating
and Drinking Establishment based upon the operational characteristics and description
of the use class contained within Chapter 20.05 (Use Classifications). Chapter 20.63
identifies three broad categories of uses to determine compliance with applicable floor
area limitations; reduced, base and maximum floor area ratio uses. Full service, high
turnover, eating and drinking establishments are reduced FAR uses and are limited to a
maximum 0.3 FAR.
The definition of gross floor area includes all areas within the exterior walls and it
includes outdoor dining areas; however Section 20.82.050 (accessory outdoor dining)
specifically exempts outdoor patio space from the FAR calculation when it is less than
25% of the interior net public area. Since this proposed patio is approximately 23% of
the proposed 'interior net public area, the patio qualifies for the exemption. The two
patios on the proposed second level and the covered parking space on the first level are
not included as they are open on two sides and are not considered floor space within
the building. The total gross floor area of the project is 4,328 square feet, which results
in a compliant 0.29 FAR.
Staff is concerned that the two open patios or the covered parking space could be easily
enclosed which would lead to the project exceeding the maximum allowable FAR.
Eliminating the open patios on the second level would effectively eliminate the this
possibility, reduce the overall building mass and make the building more weather tight
as the walls would not have openings. Despite these advantages, the applicant was
unwilling to make the suggested change. Short of requiring the change, staff has
included a condition to prohibiting the enclosure of the second level patios and covered
parking space.
Building Bulk
Building bulk is defined as total gross floor area without open patio dining and the
inclusion of covered parking and single level building volumes that exceed 18 feet in
interior height. The bulk limit is the permitted floor area ratio plus 0.25 for commercial
projects (0.3 + 0.25 = 0.55 FAR). The limit for this property is 8,183 square feet. For the
Rudy's Pub and Grill
March 3, 2005
Page 5
purpose of this calculation, staff included gross floor area, the covered parking space,
the exterior stairwell and the two open patios proposed for the second level as they
clearly contribute to the bulk of the building. The resulting tabulation results in 5,802
square feet of bulk, which is well below the maximum.
Cannery VillagehWoFadden Square Specific Plan
The subject property is located within the Cannery Village /McFadden Square Speck
Plan District and has a land use designation Specialty Retail. Eating and drinking
establishments are allowed in this designation with the approval of a Use Permit.
The Specific Plan has an architectural theme that is stated as follows:
"Cannery Village" Theme. A cannery theme is recommended for the Cannery Village
area. The cannery theme is reminiscent of the previous use of the area, and can
provide continuity throughout the area while preserving the variety and individuality of
uses that give the area its charm. The cannery theme should be expanded to include
other nautical and marine elements as appropriate. Elements of a cannery theme that
may be applied to structures include:
a. Use of corrugated metal shed -type buildings or siding where appropriate, with a
higher level of finish than would normally be associated with such structures.
b. Attractive expression of mechanical equipment and systems by incorporation into
the design of structures within the height limit.
C. Use of nautical devices in signs, architectural details and decoration, such as
heavy rope, pilings, timbers, brass fixtures, etc."
The primary design feature of the project is the arched metal retractable roof. The
second floor addition is contemporary and does not exhibit strong nautical or marine
elements. The open stairway can be described as "industrial." These features can be
viewed as reminiscent of the previous marine industrial use of the broader area.
Mechanical equipment will be on the roof screened from public view. The theme is a
recommended guideline and strict application is not required. The Commission will need
to determine whether or not the exterior of the project meets the intent of the Cannery
Village Theme.
Parking
The existing parking lot accommodates 28 parking stalls and the proposed project has a
total of 27 parking stalls. Twenty-six spaces are in the open parking lot and 1 space is
within the footprint of the existing building and is accessed from the alley. The reduction
of 1 space is a result of disabled parking areas, landscape areas and the proposed
open staircase.
The parking standard for eating and drinking establishments is 1 parking space for each
30 to 50 square feet of net public area depending upon the operational characteristics of
the establishment. Typically, a parking ratio of 1 space per each 40 square feet of net
Rudy's Pub and Grill
March 3, 2005
Page 6
public area is used for full service, low turnover eating and drinking establishments
similar to the existing and proposed business. Restaurants with a higher turnover or that
have dancing tend to require additional parking demand and the 1 to 30 standard can
be applied. The existing establishment was authorized with a parking ratio of 1 space
for each 49 square feet of net public area. This ratio was derived based the available
parking supply more than the operational characteristics of the establishment, although
it was recognized that a portion of patronage does walk or bike to the establishment.
The redesigned interior of the restaurant is a very small reduction in net public area.
The new outdoor dining area can qualify as an accessory outdoor dining area and
parking for it is not required provided that it is less than 25% of the interior net public
area. The proposed 310 square foot outdoor patio is approximately 23% of the
proposed interior net public area (1,349 square feet). Additionally, separate parking is
not required for the new office area as long as it is accessory to the restaurant because
it would not be defined as net public area.
The redesigned parking lot has one space fewer than the existing lot making the parking
ratio now 1 space for each 50 square feet of public area. Although the existing and
proposed number of parking spaces is lower than what typically is required for
establishments of this nature, staff believes that the project can be supported given the
amount of walk -in and bicycle -in patrons, as witnessed by the number of bicycles
routinely parked out front. Additionally, metered parking is typically available adjacent to
City Hall and in the public parking lot at the comer of Villa Way and 30th Street. These
factors are tempered by the increase in seating attributable to the patio, the number of
employees and the unique nature of the proposed building. Although the Code does not
require parking for accessory patios, they can lead to increased parking demand at
peak occupancy times. The 20 employees likely do not carpool and they usually park
off -site where they can. The retractable roof will make the use more of an attraction that
might increase patronage and therefore parking demands.
The true nature of parking conditions at the establishment is not well known and
poaching of parking may be an issue for the area. The public hearing process might
shed some light on the topic, The nature of the project is clearly an expansion of use
that might lead to increased parking demand. Should the parking arrangement be
deemed acceptable, staff would recommend that a condition of approval be included
requiring the operator to post signs in the parking lot that clearly identifies the lot for
patron/employee use to deter poaching by others. Additionally, to reduce the number of
vehicle movements in and out of the covered parking space adjacent to the alley, the
Traffic Engineer has included a condition of approval requiring that space be made
available for employee parking only.
Modification Permit (alley setback encroachment)
As noted, the second floor addition and new staircase encroach within the 10 -foot alley
setback. The purpose of this setback is to facilitate vehicle maneuvering within narrow
Rudy's Pub and Grill
March 3, 2005
Page 7
alleys. The existing alley is 14 feet wide and the existing building was allowed through a
prior Modification Permit to encroach 4 feet within the 10 -foot setback. The second floor
addition is in line with the existing building will not further reduce the effective width of
the alley and the proposed staircase is further setback 2 feet, 8 inches.
The following findings must be met to approve the request:
A. 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..
The practical difficulty in this case is 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 retractable roof. These hardships may be
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.
B. The requested modification will be compatible with existing development in the
neighborhood.
Little or no setbacks from the alley are common in the Cannery Village area, and most
properties in the subject block presently encroach to some degree. Two-story building
mass is also common directly abutting public sidewalks and alleys.
C. 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 wdl not be
detrimental to the general welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the
neighborhood.
The Traffic Engineer has no concerns with the proposed encroachments given the
position of the existing building with a 6 -foot setback that effectively leaves the alley
approximately 20 feet in width and its prior approval for the existing building. 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.
Hours of Operation
The existing and proposed hours of operation are 9:00AM — 2:OOAM daily. The
proposed hours of operation are not uncommon among eating and drinking
establishments with similar design and operational features.
Rudy's Pub and Grill

Live Entertainment and Dancing
The existing use permit allows live entertainment but does not allow dancing. The
current application does not propose live entertainment or dancing. Should the operator
desire to introduce either activity in the future, an amendment to the Use Permit would
be necessary prior to applying for a Live Entertainment Permit or Cafe Dance Permit
with the City Manager's office.
Noise
No live entertainment or dancing is proposed by the applicant and a condition of
approval prohibiting live entertainment has been included in the draft Planning
Commission resolution. Presently, pre- recorded music is played through the house
sound system and this activity is proposed to continue. Staff is concerned that recorded
music and /or patron noise may impact surrounding businesses and residential uses
located further east on 318t Street especially when the retractable roof is open. The
Community Noise Ordinance is the primary tool for noise control; however, staff
recommends the following additional conditions:
■ Require that all doors, windows, retractable wall and the retractable roof be
closed after 10:OOPM.
■ Amplified music shall be prohibited on the outdoor patio.
■ Audible paging systems shall be prohibited.
• Allow the Planning Director to order the closure of the retractable roof,
retractable wall, doors and windows at any time should noise generated on-
site become detrimental to people of normal sensitivity residing or working in
the vicinity.
Alcoholic Beverage Outlet Ordinance
On June 8, 1998, the City Council adopted the Alcoholic Beverage Outlets (ABO)
Ordinance (Chapter 20.89 of the Municipal Code). The purpose of the ABO Ordinance
is to preserve a healthy environment for residents and businesses by establishing a set
of consistent standards for the safe operation of alcoholic beverage outlets, while
preventing alcohol- related problems. Since the applicant holds a valid Type 47 (On -Sale
General- Eating Place) ABC license and the proposed project does not introduce a
substantial change in the mode or character of the operation as defined by the Code,
and therefore, no review pursuant the ABO is required.

Newport Beach Police Department Concerns
The Newport Beach Police Department provided staff with a comprehensive report,
which is attached to this staff report as Exhibit No. 3. In their report, the Police
Department identified several areas of concern, including noise and alcohol related calls
for service and other incidents surrounding this location. The Police Department
believes the project will lead to an intensification of use that will likely result in increased
for calls for service. As a result, the Police Department is not supportive of the project.
However, should the Planning Commission find that the project warrants favorable
consideration, the Department did provide a list of recommended operating conditions in
the attempt to mitigate current and anticipated problems. These conditions prohibit
happy hour specials, prohibit profit sharing with outside promoters, require employees
to complete training in the sale of alcohol, etc. The recommended conditions are
standard conditions routinely applied by the City to similar projects. The Department
recommends that the proposed outdoor patio be closed at 10:00 PM daily to avoid noise
related complaints. This hour corresponds to hour when a lower noise standard is
required by the Noise Ordinance.
Restaurant Design and Development Standards
Chapter 20.82.040 of the Municipal Code contains development standards for
restaurants, as outlined below, to ensure that any proposed development will be
compatible with adjoining properties and streets. Section 20.82.040 D of the Municipal
Code states that any of the above mentioned development standards for restaurants
may be modified or waived if strict compliance is not necessary to achieve the purpose
or intent of the standard. Staff believes the proposed project, as conditioned, meets the
intent of applicable regulations and that the proposed design will be an upgrade from
the existing conditions.

Environmental Review
Staff believes that the project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 2 (Replacement
or Reconstruction), since the proposed project is not a change of use, includes a
modest increase in square footage and will not result in a substantial change in capacity
or operational characteristics. Additionally, the project site has no environmental
resource value.
Public Notice
Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to property owners within
300 feet of the property (excluding roads and waterways) 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.
SUMMARY
Staff believes that location of the site along Newport Boulevard makes it conducive to
the expanded operation, as the site is surrounded primarily by commercial uses and
roadways. Sufficient facts exist to find the project consistent with applicable zoning
requirements, and staff further believes that the Modification Permit request can be
supported by the facts of the case. The project design is innovative and will improve the
aesthetics of the site.
Given the open nature of the restaurant and bar due to the proposed design, staff feels
it is important to be cautious related to noise. The imposition of the proposed operating
conditions (closure of the outdoor patio at 10:00 PM, closure of the retractable roof and
Rudy's Pub and Grill
March 3, 2005
Page 11
wall at 10:00 PM) should mitigate potential noise issues. Additionally, other conditions
will improve water quality, ensure better site maintenance and should hopefully avoid
increased calls for service to the Police. Parking is a difficult issue and the project might
lead to increased parking conflicts. The public hearing process might assist in
determining whether or not parking is a significant problem for this particular site.
A conservative recommendation would be to deny the project based upon potential
parking shortfalls, but staff believes that the project benefits outweigh its potential
detriment, and therefore, staff' has provided a draft resolution with findings and
conditions for project approval.
ALTERNATIVES
The Commission has several alternatives to the recommended action, depending upon
project- related concerns:
The Commission may conclude that the intensity of use exceeds the capacity of the
site and that a reduction in the scope of the project is in order. The increase in dining
area might be lessened or the suggested reduction of parking might be denied.
Additionally, the open patios on the second level might be eliminated.
2. The retractable roof might be eliminated to avoid potential noise - related issues in the
future.
3. The Commission may determine that an insufficient number of parking spaces is
provided and require additional off -site parking be secured in accordance with the
requirements for approval of an off -site parking agreement.
4. The Commission has the option to deny the project based upon any negative factors
deemed relevant that are either identified in the staff report or through the public
hearing process. If this option is taken, direction should be given to staff on findings
for denial with continuation to the next meeting to allow staff to time draft appropriate
written findings.
Should a project re- design be desirable to the Commission, staff recommends a
continuance of sufficient duration to allow the applicant to prepare revised plans and
staff to allow appropriate review by staff.

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. 2004 -049 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:
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.

Planning Commission Resolution No.
Page 2 of 10
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.

Memorandum
January 27, 2005
TO: Gregg Ramirez, Staff Planner
FROM: CSO Susan Seviane
SUBJECT: Project Review Request for Rudy's Pub and Grill
Outdoor Patio and Modification Permit 2004 -089
At your request our office has reviewed the project request for Todd Carson ' Rudy's Pub &
Grill" Amendment to Use Permit No. 1853 and Modification Permit No. 2004 -089 (PA2004-
273) "Rudy s Pub & Grill" is located at 3110 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, CA 92663.
Mr. Todd Carson proposes to add a retractable roof over a portion of the building, an exterior
patio adjacent to Newport Boulevard and second floor office space with two patios (no patron
use). Additionally, the applicant requests approval of a Modification Permit to allow
alterations of portions of the first floor, and new second floor office space. Modification
Permit No. 201, approved in 1970, allowed the existing building to encroach 4 feet into the
required 10400t setback.
The Police Department is very concerned about the potential negative impact the applicant's
request will have on public safety. These concerns are based on documented incidents
surrounding this location. The concerns are also based on experiences with similar business
operations involving other operators within the City.
We have included a report prepared by Police Department Crime Analyst Paul Salenko that
provides detailed statistical information related to calls for service in and around the
applicant's place of business in support of our concerns for reference.
Slans and Displays:
Mr. Todd Carson submitted drawings of new design for remodel.

Rudy's Pub and Grill - Permit 2004 -089
Page 2 of 4
Hours of Operation:
If the applicant's request is approved (over the Police Department's objections to an exterior
patio. The Police Department recommends a 10:00 p.m. closing time for the patio in order to
minimize potential noise - related impacts and no patron use for second floor patios.
Preventive Desian:
It has been our experience, noise generated from the outside patios by patrons, recorded
music, paging systems, etc. can travel and disturb area residents. Such events can result in
calls for police services to address the disturbance. We recommend appropriate mitigation
measures to control patio noise.
If the applicant's request is approved, please ensure applicant is made aware of the
following:
• There shall be no exterior advertising or signs of any kind or type, including
advertising directed to the exterior from within, promoting or indicating the availability
of alcoholic beverages and
• Any interior displays of alcoholic beverages or signs that are clearly visible to the
exterior shall constitute a violation of this condition.
Additionally, ABC will require some type of fence and signage to delineate any patio areas
approved for the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Security:
Require the applicant to develop an approved security plan designed to ensure compliance
with applicable state and local laws, and the conditions of the ABC license, the use permit,
and other such permits issued by the City.
Additional Comments:
Require all owners, managers and employees serving and/or selling alcoholic beverages to
undergo and successfully complete a certified training program in responsible methods and
skills for searing and selling alcohol beverages.
Gil
Rudy's Pub and Grill — Permit 2004 -089
Page 3 of 4
We recommend that appropriate mitigation measures be identified and required of the
applicant to control these situations if the application is approved. Based on our local history
and experiences in this area, we are projecting the applicant's proposal will result in an
increase in Police Department activities and calls for services.
For the purposes of this application, staff may also want to consider establishing conditions
that would require a Special Event Permit. A Special Event Permit should be required for
any event or promotional activity outside the normal operational characteristics of the
proposed operation. Examples of these types of events are those likely to attract large
crowds, events where an admission fee is charged, those that include any form of party or
contract promoters and any other activities that are specified in the Newport Beach Municipal
Code requiring such permits.
The Police Department is required to spend a substantial amount of time and resources
policing this area. The majority of the problems encountered included public drunkenness,
noise complaints, argument mediation, driving under the influence of alcohol enforcement,
assaults, thefts, narcotic - related offenses, and public nuisance offenses including urinating in
public. This area also experiences heavy vehicular and pedestrian congestion on weekends,
holidays and during the summer months.
In addition to the Police Department's described concerns, we believe there is a greater
policy and land use issue involved in the approval process for intensifying the alcohol usage
by adding a exterior patio and a third floor deck to this business located in this area of the
Community. Although such decisions to resolve these community concerns appropriately
should be left to the Planning Commission and/or City Council, we are not supportive of
adding the additional intensity as proposed at this particular location.
If the proposed application is approved, the Police Department recommends the following
conditions be considered for the Conditional Use Permit for the business:
?�`A
Rudy's Pub and Grill - Permit 2004 -089
Page 4 of 4
No alcoholic beverages shall be consumed on any property adjacent to the licensed
premises under the control of the license.
2. There shall be no promotional drink specials or reduce drink specials.
3. There shall be no exterior advertising or signs of any kind or type, including advertising
directed to the exterior from within, promoting or indicating the availability of alcoholic
beverages. Interior displays of alcoholic beverages or signs that are clearly visible to
the exterior shall constitute a violation of this condition.
4. Petitioner shall not share any profits, or pay any percentage or commission to a
promoter or any other person, based upon moneys collected as a door charge, cover
charge, or any other form of admission charge, including minimum drink orders or the
sale of drinks.
5. There shall be no on -site radio, television, video, film or other electronic media
broadcasts, including recordings for the broadcast at a later time, which include the
service of alcoholic beverages, without first obtaining an approved Special Event
Permit issued by the City of Newport Beach.
6. Require occupancy posting that would ensure employees, patrons and/or public safety
personnel have the ability to readily determine the occupancy load.
7. Consider addressing requirements for activities requiring special event permits as
issued by the City and establishing a cap for the number of such permits issued during
a calendar year.
In summary, the Police Department does not recommend approval of the requested
change in the character and scope of this application as proposed. We believe it will have
a negative impact on the surrounding area and result in a requirement for additional police
services.
