Applicant: Brian McReynolds
Proposed outdoor eating area to established eatery Eat Chow, by Mr. Brian McReynolds
Dear Mr. Zdeda & Mr. Petros:
I write in connection with the above - referenced planning application of Mr. McReynolds.
I have examined the proposed amendment and I know the site well. On behalf of a local
business that received notice, I wish to object strongly to the amendment to permit the outdoor
dining to this establishment set forth before the planning commission. I have reviewed the
Zoning Administrator Staff Report, Draft Resolution, Draft of the Zoning Administrator
Resolution No. ZA2013 -draft and all attachments, Zoning Administration Action Letter dated
December 2, 2010 and September 27, 2010 letter from Brian McReynolds and Eric Doran
project description and justification for director's use permit as well as the January 14, 2013
letter of Mr. McReynolds requesting three tables outdoors. I note from the outset that the
paperwork seems to already make the proposed hearing nothing more than a rubber stamp and
that the planning division seemingly takes a position that is not neutral as it does not reference
the affects upon the neighborhood other than "facts in support of finding" and does not look at
the potential problems with the proposal.
Newport Beach is a long established city where development proposals should be
considered very carefully. The proposal to add outdoor dining until 11:00 pm as noted in an area
that is predominantly residential could lead to loitering, noise to the local residents,
traffic /parking issues and transient/vagrant population increases. The subject establishment is
only provided 4 parking spaces in an area that is already well known to be difficult to locate
parking spaces. The protection of Newport Beach's visual, historic and archaeological qualities
is also supported by its residents as well as the planning commission and city council's decisions
that note inappropriately planned, or amendments for proposals that fail to take opportunities to
improve the character of an area, should not be accepted. The proposed amendment of Mr.

McReynolds would not improve the character of the area, but would add to the noise, traffic,
vagrancy of the area which Newport Beach seeks to avoid, in addition to possibly becoming a
safety hazard to traffic in the area. The location is a restaurant and not a coffee shop as
referenced in some of the notes.
The function of the Planning Division is to promote and enhance the well -being of
residents, visitors, property owners, and businesses of the City of Newport Beach. The division
accomplishes its mission through programs that encourage high quality development as well as
maintenance and revitalization of existing neighborhoods. The site subject to this proposal is
within the local development plan, on which the public will be consulted on April 11, 2013 at
3:30 pm at the public meeting. It is anticipated that the proposed amendment goes against the
development plan for Newport Beach as for the reasons set forth above. It does not promote or
enhance residents, property owners and businesses in the area. In fact, it is anticipated that the
already overcrowded parking in the area and streets may become more congested. It may cause
issues as patrons for Eat Chow already park in the parking lot owned and posted "Parking for
Spaghetti Bender Patrons Only" as evidenced by photos obtained on a random drive by
inspection. I do realize that the owner of the establishment is a tenant to the owner of the
Spaghetti Bender, but in essence you are permitting two restaurants to operate without adequate
parking by the proposal even if they share the adjoining parking lot. Moreover, the restaurant
already is adjacent to a residential area on 62nd Street at Newport Shores Drive. Such outdoor
dining and drinking of beer & wine as sold by the proprietor to 11:00 pm as proposed would
increase noise and also permit smoking that could invade the residential community at night past
the Newport Beach curfew hour.
Pressure for the addition here may be limited to the proprietor, mainly for additional
seating to the establishment. Mr. McReynolds was permitted to have 5 -6 parking spaces for his
restaurant and the amount of patrons held inside can easily exceed the parking spaces allotted.
This would naturally cause invasion to the local streets and other private properties adjacent and
across the street if permitted. In addition, opposition to the proposed variance is concerned about
the noise that would be caused by outside dining and consumption of alcoholic beverages by
patrons at late hours in an area directly adjacent to a residential area. Such areas are already
available elsewhere within the city limits further south on Pacific Coast Highway but are in a
predominantly industrial neighborhood. So this is not the creation of a new item or idea for the
city of Newport Beach to increase tourism. But it is expansion of an idea better suited for an
industrial area to be incorporated into a residential area that already has problems as noted within
this objection.
The appropriate parking ratio is one space per 30 -50 square feet of public space. See
Newport Beach Municipal Code § 20.40.040 under the table 3 -10 set forth under "Eating and
Drinking Establishments" as well as Newport Beach Municipal Code § 20.40.060(A). Therefore,
Eat Chow was required to have 20 parking spaces for their establishment. The City has already
determined that the establishment was non - conforming under Newport Beach Municipal Code §
20.38.060 due to the deficient off - street parking and the proposed use will only further make
matters worse. Under Newport Beach Municipal Code § 20.40.060 (B), conditions for
approval ... and a change to any of the conditions will require an amendment to the permit

application." (Ordinance 2010 -21 § 1 Exhibit A. Here, the original use permit contemplated
peak use hours during the morning and afternoon. But now, the shift in the times and usage has
dramatically altered the peak use to evening hours, when it competes with the Spaghetti Bender
over the same shortness of off - street parking.
Proprietor Brian McReynolds is already aware from his other Eat Chow restaurant
located in Costa Mesa at 1802 Newport Boulevard, Costa Mesa the differences between the two
restaurants he owns. The Costa Mesa restaurant already has four (4) outdoor tables for dining.
But the essential differences are location and zoning. The Costa Mesa location is situated in an
industrialized area of Costa Mesa. It is not literally 20 feet from a residence as is the case with
the proposal at issue here. There is no danger that the noise increase would be noticeable
especially with all the traffic that passes in the area of the Costa Mesa location. There, his
establishment is located within 100 feet of the landmark Triangle Square Mall and shopping
center where such outdoor dining and incidental noise would affect no one. The proposal here, is
in a quiet well established residential area as opposed to just off the busiest street in the
immediate area where the 55 freeway ends. Parking is also not an issue in Costa Mesa where
there is a city public lot located across the street from that establishment.
The proposed variance of the area is particularly ill- considered here. It is a residential
area of established homes used by many local residents and tourists walking, jogging, biking,
beach access, walking pets, and the outdoor table here would both diminish the aesthetic
appearance of the area and cause sidewalk traffic a detour. The only potential location for the
outdoor table is directly next to the public sidewalk at the entrance to the parking lot for the Eat
Chow establishment. It would not fit any other location. The style is out of keeping with the
area's historic character — no other dwelling in the area has an outdoor table, for instance.
Additionally, the location of the outdoor table potentially creates a problem if a vehicle entering
the parking lot misses the entrance way only slightly. Patrons at the outdoor table could then
become victims of a vehicle v. pedestrian accident in the already congested area.
What are even more egregious here are the previous violations to the permit by the owner
that have occurred over the years. Eat Chow has already been cited for having outdoor dining
without a permit before the application. Here the experience proprietor already was aware of the
process for obtaining a permit for outdoor dining. He dealt with that very issue at the other
location to obtain the outdoor dining permit in Costa Mesa. Yet he consciously did provide
outdoor seating here without a permit and was cited. Moreover, in the September 2010
application for permit, the applicant represented he would have his employees park their vehicles
away from the restaurant to reduce the impact on the adjacent local residents. This has never
occurred with the observation being the employees park as close to the restaurant as possible.
Original Permit Conditions 36 & 37 of the original use permits are also violated routinely
by the applicant. Section 36 reads "The use of the facilities rear door for deliveries shall be
prohibited." Delivery trucks are routinely observed illegally parked on Newport Shores Drive
adjacent to the rear door and observed making deliveries through the rear door in violation of
condition 36. Said section also requires that the rear doors to the facility shall remain closed at
all times. However, the door has been observed open too many times to recount at all hours of

operation of the establishment. Condition 37 reads "All deliveries shall be conducted onsite
through the front entrance." Instead, due to the already overcrowded conditions present, all
deliveries are conducted "off- site" and are accomplished by either illegally parking behind the
property and entering through the back door or parking in the parking lot of the Spaghetti Bender
and entering through the front entrance. Either way, it is a violation of the express conditions
and has demonstrated the disregard of the conditions for the original use permit.
Furthermore, there is no need for this kind of open air seating in the city of Newport
Beach. Many of the restaurants and bars in the more industrialized portions of the city limits
already provide outdoor dining and drinking venues such as is being proposed. They are
however in better suited and adapted areas that do not encounter the same problems as foreseen
here next to a residential area. As an alternative to this proposal, we would support the
construction of additional outdoor dining in areas that are more industrialized and not going to
increase the noise, traffic and further cause parking issues already prevalent in the city limits.
We understand that the local businesses in the immediate area may share some of these
concerns voiced herein. More importantly, the local area residents are also in agreement that
some issues set forth herein are unknown and may cause an effect upon their quiet lifestyle based
upon discussions this writer has had with area residents during the day there.
Given the two locations of the Eat Chow establishment, Mr. McReynolds already has
outdoor seating at his location in Costa Mesa in an area zoned for commercial businesses. That
location is less than 3 miles away and only an 8 minute drive. If his patrons want to dine
outdoors, they can take a short drive (less than 10 minutes) to get to the location where it is
properly designed, zoned and situated to eat and drink outdoors as it will not cause the potential
issues here in Newport Beach as discussed herein.
If this application is to be decided by those present at the local meeting set on April 11,
2013 at 3:30 pm, I would like reserve the opportunity to speak at the meeting of the committee at
which this application is expected to be decided.
Very truly yours,
