intended for the convenience of customers. Operational conditions of approval relative
to the sale of alcoholic beverages will ensure compatibility with the surrounding use and
minimize alcohol-related impacts.
A-2. Pursuant to NBMC Chapter 5.25, the project has been conditioned to require that the
applicant, as well as any future operators, obtain an Operator License to ensure the
establishment is operated in a safe manner and compatible with the neighborhood.

commercial uses. Across the Rhine Channel, the closest residential district is
approximately 570 feet away. To the north, the closest residential use is approximately
200 feet away and residential uses associated with the future Newport Bay Marina
Project will be approximately 100 feet away. To the west, the nearest residential uses
are 230 feet away; and to the north the nearest residential uses are approximately 200
feet away. The nearest park is the public beach adjacent to the West Ocean Front
Boardwalk over 650 feet from the subject property. There are no day care centers,
recreation facilities, places of religious assembly, or schools in proximity to the subject
property.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.52.020, eating and drinking establishments classified
as "Food Service, Late Hours" require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit within the
Mixed -Use Water. Related (MU -W2) Zoning District. In accordance with NBMC Section
20.52.020(F), the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Finding:
B. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of Finding:
B-1. The Mixed -Use Water Related (MU -W2 and MU -W) land use designations of the General
Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan are intended to encourage water related uses
intermixed with general commercial, visitor -serving commercial and residential uses.
The operation of a "Food Service, Late Hours" use with alcoholic beverage sales is
consistent with the purpose and intent of this land use designation.
B-2. Food service uses including those with live entertainment and dancing are expected to
be located in commercial areas, and are complementary to the existing commercial and
residential uses in the area. Such uses are frequented by visitors, tenants of the nearby
commercial uses, and residents.
B-3. The subject property is not part of a specific plan area.
Resolution No. 2015-75
Page 4 of 7
Finding:
C. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other
applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
C-1. The subject property is located in the Mixed Use — Water Related Zoning District (MU -
W2), and eating and drinking establishments classified as "Food Service, Late Hours"
require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Food Service including those with late
hours and live entertainment can be expected to be found in this area and similar
locations and are complementary to the surrounding commercial and residential uses.
C-2. As conditioned, the project will comply with Zoning Code standards for eating and
drinking establishments. Conditions are included related to on -sale alcoholic beverage
activities, including the training of personnel, and the provision of security personnel
while live entertainment is offered.

and drinking establishment is required, to obtain an Operator License from the
Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD).
Finding:
D. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with
the allowed uses in the vicinity.
Facts in Support of Finding:
D-1. The project has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure that potential conflicts with the
surrounding land uses are minimized to the extent possible to maintain a healthy
environment for both residents and businesses.
D-2. In order to reduce the potential impact on neighboring properties, a condition of approval
is included that prohibits recorded music or other types of sound amplification within the
outdoor dining patio area after 10:00 p.m. daily. Additionally, conditions of approval
require the doors exiting the building to the outdoor dining patio area to remain closed
whenever live entertainment is performed inside the building after 10:00 p.m., except
when persons are entering and exiting the building.
D-3. The location of the valet parking pick-up and drop-off area is shielded from the
residences by the restaurant building, thereby mitigating noise impacts from this activity
to residential uses across and along the Rhine Channel.
Resolution No. 2015-75
Page 5 of 7
D-4. Adequate number of parking spaces are available on-site and there is available public
parking in municipal lots located in the vicinity. The use of the valet parking service
when live entertainment occurs and on an as -needed basis will maximize on-site
utilization of the parking lot and in the case that the lot is full, parking is available in the
municipal metered parking lot across the street (the meters are not in effect after 6:00
p.m. daily).
Findincr
E. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating
characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and
medical) access and public services and utilities.
Facts in Support of Finding:
E-1. This is an eating and drinking establishment that has existed in this location since the
1960's. The project site has proven to be physically suitable in size to accommodate the
restaurant use.
E-2. The project site is located on Newport Bay between 24"' and 26th Street overlooking the
Rhine Channel and is surrounded by similar commercial uses located to the north (next
door), and the northwest of the use. This is an appropriate location for an eating and
drinking establishment. The restaurant use is complementary to the existing commercial
uses in the area, as well as convenient to serve the residential uses located to the north
and east across the Rhine Channel in relation to the project site.
E-3. The Traffic Engineer has previously reviewed the configuration of the parking lot, as well
as the valet parking plan, and has determined the parking lot design functions safely and
does not prevent emergency vehicle access to the establishment.
E-4. The site is currently served by public services and utilities.
Finding:
F. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the
harmonious and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise
constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare
of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
Facts in Support of Finding:
F-1. Although the establishment will operate late hours and offer live entertainment and
dancing, the project has been reviewed and appropriately conditioned to ensure the
continued operation of the establishment as a bona fide eating and drinking
establishment based on the approval of the Type 47 Alcoholic Beverage Control license.
Resolution No. 2015-75
Page 6 of 7
F-2. The applicant has operated the existing eating and drinking establishment in this
location since 2002, and is required to proactively control noise generated by patrons of
the restaurant. The operator will be required to obtain an Operator License from the
NBPD. The Operator License will provide for enhanced control of noise, loitering, litter,
disorderly conduct, parking/circulation, and other potential disturbances resulting from
the existing establishment, and will provide the NBPD with means to modify, suspend, or
revoke the operator's ability to maintain late -hour operations if an objectionable
condition occur.

negligible or no expansion of the existing use. The proposed project does not include building
additions or alterations. The change in hours of operation, including additional days when live

is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the
validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this resolution. The City Council
