333 Old Newport Boulevard
Summary: A use permit application to waive 3 additional off - street parking spaces required for
the conversion of 3,061 square -feet of retail space to medical office in an existing

Item No. 3 Panini Garden Bistro, Ten Asian Bistro, and Red Night Club (PA2009 -115)

Permit No. UP2002 -040 to extend the hours of food service for two, full -service
restaurants, Panini Garden Bistro and Ten Asian Bistro, until 4:00 a.m. The
amendment incorporates an as -built male and female restroom facilities addition
(403 square feet) as part of the facility authorized by the use permit for the Red
Night Club. Commissioners expressed concerns about the risks associated with
large numbers of partiers remaining on the premises after 2 A.M. and the fad that a
large sliding door between Ten and the adjoining Red nightclub would make it
difficult to keep patrons out of the Red space after 2:00 A.M. Officers from Newport
Beach Police Department provided testimony and answered questions from
Commissioners. Commissioners voted to approve extended hours for Panini only,
subject to Planning Director review after two years.
The item was approved. (5 Ayes, 2 No)
