Mayor Cox opened the public hearing and City Council reconsideration of its decision on the appeal of JOE SPERRAZZA, Newport Beach, from the approval of the Planning Commission on December 10, 1987, of USE PERMIT NO. 3306, a request to change the operational characteristics of an existing nonconforming restaurant facility located at 501 30th Street, in the Cannery Village /McFadden Square Specific Plan Area, so as to permit the allowed live entertainment to include jazz combos with amplified music, vocals and percussion instruments, including drums. The proposal also includes a modification to the Zoning Code so as to permit the use of tandem and compact parking spaces in conjunction with a full -time valet parking service. Report from the Planning Department, was presented. Recycled report from the Planning Department dated January 11, 1988 and various letters from the public, and appeal application of Joseph Sperrazza, were presented. It was pointed out that at its meeting of January 11, 1988, the City Council voted (4 Ayes, 3 Noes) to approve the appeal of the appellant, and sustained the recommendation of the Planning Commission to allow the change in the operational characteristics of the subject restaurant facility with the following revision to Condition of Approval No. 9: Hours of Operation for Entertainment Monday - Thursday entertainment to stop at 12:30 a.m. Friday night: 8:00 p.m. - 1:00 a.m. Saturday night: 8:00 p.m. - 1:00 a.m. Sunday night: 3:00 p.m. - 12:30 a.m. (Restaurant to close at 2:00 a.m.) Volume 42 - Page 32 U/P 3306 Cafe Lido (88) COUNCLL MEMBERS .► y n G�,y�G4A� of �9G • • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES February 8, 1988 It was further noted that on January 25, 1988, the City Council voted unanimously to reconsider the action of the Council in conjunction with Use Permit No. 3306, as recommended by Council Member Plummer, and set this matter for a public hearing on February 8, 1988. John Loomis, 30th Street Architects, representing the applicant, addressed the Council and requested that the hours of operation for entertainment be modified to 1:00 a.m., rather than 12:30 a.m., for Sunday through Thursday. He noted that the recommended hours for entertainment on Friday and Saturdays is now 1:00 a.m. Council Member Turner referenced Condition No. 10, and suggested it be revised to read: "That the applicant will install the acoustical recommendations made by Penardi and Associates in accordance with Exhibit 'A,' attached to the conditions of approval (Exhibit 'A' being the letter from Penardi & Associates, Acoustical Engineers, dated January 11, 1988)." Mr. Loomis indicated he had no objections to the change in Condition No. 10. Joe Sperrazza, applicant, addressed the Council in support of his request, and stated that the proposed modification to the hours of operation for entertainment is only 2;j hours more per week than what was approved by the City Council on January 11, 1988. He also stated that most of the restaurants in Cannery Village do not stay open to 2:00 a.m., for economic reasons; however, Cafe Lido does remain open until that time even though there may not be any customers. He stated Cafe Lido is the only full- service restaurant on the Peninsula which provides late -night dining to 1:00 a.m. With regard to parking, they feel their valet service will give the control needed to keep the flow of traffic away from the residents of 601 Lido Park Drive. He stated there will be a total of four performing musicians and he will personally continue to monitor their sound level as he does at the current location. Volume 42 - Page 33 U/P 3306 Cafe Lido COUNCIL MEMBERS • • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES February 8, 1988 John Cramer, 135 Via Zurich, addressed U/P 3306 the Council and stated that he was an Cafe Lido avid fan of Cafe Lido; felt it was a quality restaurant unique to Newport Beach, with very fine entertainment; and that the request should be approved. Richard Cordy, 2812 Lafayette, addressed the Council in support of Cafe Lido, stating the restaurant is a definite asset to Cannery Village and the request for its new location should be approved. Dr. Ken Sereno, 16798 Woodbridge Circle, Fountain Valley, addressed the Council and read a letter from the past Director of Orange County Music Chorale in favor of the request. He stated that he, himself, is a frequent patron at Cafe Lido and a personal friend of the applicant. He stated that a more mature crowd frequents the restaurant, and therefore, he does not feel there would be a problem with noise when they exit the location. Walter R. Fisher, 101 Waverly Drive, Alhambra, addressed the Council and stated that he drives from Alhambra to the Cafe Lido four to five times a month to not only enjoy the good food, but the excellent jazz entertainment. He does not feel the music will be too loud to disturb any of the neighboring residences and felt the request of Cafe Lido was reasonable and should be approved. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, addressed the Council and discussed monitoring of amplified music and the requested hours of operation. Marian Markson, co -owner of Heidi's Frogen Yozurt on Balboa Boulevard, addressed the Council in support of the request. She stated that 40% of their business is between the hours of 10 p.m. and midnight, indicating they cater to a late -night crowd as does Cafe Lido. She stated that when she closes her store at midnight she enjoys the music and relaxation the Cafe Lido provides and urged the Council allow the entertainment to conclude at 1:00 a.m., as requested. Thomas Dixon, 428 31st Street, addressed the Council in opposition to the request. He stated that he resides 60 feet from the new location and feels he and his wife will be disturbed by not Volume 42 - Page 34 COUNCIL MEME y n\ • • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH February 8, 1988 only the music, but when the patrons exit from the site. He stated he felt the "spirit" of the Cannery Village Specific Area Plan has already been violated by the granting of the subject use permit and that it will definitely create a hardship on the residential neighborhood in Cannery Village. He also urged that a condition be added restricting the number of musicians to four; that the area be policed at closing time because of the lack of lighting in the vicinity; and that the use permit be reviewed in six months from the date of opening. Patricia Hilton, speaking on behalf of Lupe Hilton, 425 31st Street, stated that Lupe Hilton is 87 years old and her home has had attempted break -ins, and that she is very concerned as to whether the area will be policed. She also stated that Ms. Hilton did not receive notification of this public hearing. The City Clerk advised that notification was mailed to all property owners within a 300' radius of the proposed restaurant site, and that no notices had been returned because of insufficient address or unable to deliver. With regard to police enforcement in the area, the City Manager stated that the City's Police Department would continue to provide patrol of the vicinity, as is currently being done, but that no specific personnel is assigned to the subject establishment.' Mr. Sperrazza, applicant, addressed the Council again, and discussed traffic flow and parking in the area. Brad Edwards, 422 31st Street, addressed the Council in opposition to the proposal. He suggested that restrictions be placed on the noise level from the music if the request is granted. Hearing no others wishing to address the Council, the public hearing was closed. Council Member Plummer explained her reasons for requesting that this item be reconsidered. She also discussed Condition No. 3 regarding valet pickup and delivery of automobiles within the on -site parking area. She distributed a map of the vicinity depicting the number Volume 42 - Page 35 U/P 3306 Cafe Lido COUNCIL MEMBERS y Motion C :7 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES February 8, 1988 of one -way streets, and discussed the U/P 3306 feasibility of establishing a valet Cafe Lido station at the corner of Villa Way and 30th Street adjacent to the restaurant where the vehicles would be in such a location that they could turn right and easily exit onto Newport Boulevard from Villa Way, thereby not disturbing the residents in the area. She also felt that once the City's parking structure is constructed at Villa Way and 30th Street, Cafe Lido patrons will use the parking facility, rather than the valet service. Discussion ensued with regard to Council Member Plummer's suggestion, wherein it was pointed out that if the valet pickup and drop off were on Villa Way, it could create more noise for the residences because of the necessity of using the alley. x I Following consideration, motion was made to amend Conditions No. 9 and 10 to read as follows: Condition No. 9 - "That the hours of operation of the restaurant use shall be limited between 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., Sunday through Thursday; and 3:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., Friday and Saturday." Condition No. 10 - "That the applicant will install the acoustical recommendations made by Penardi and Associates in accordance with Exhibit 'A,' attached to the conditions of approval (Exhibit 'A' being the letter from Penardi & Associates, Acoustical Engineers, dated January 11, 1988)." Council Member Strauss expressed his concerns as to the 2:00 a.m. closing time for Cafe Lido, wherein Mr. Sperrazza addressed the Council, and stated that they lock their doors at 1:30 a.m., and take last call for alcoholic beverages. He stated that all of the other restaurants in Cannery Village can stay open until 2:00 a.m., however, because of economic reasons they may choose to close earlier. Following discussion, Council Member Strauss suggested the motion be amended to add to Condition No. 13, "That said use permit shall be reviewed in six months from the date the restaurant opens for business. Volume 42 - Page 36 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH COUNCIL MEMBERS MINUTES �G '�,p y � G� yFy February 8, 1988 ROLL CALL INDEX Council Member Maurer, maker of the U/P 3306 motion, accepted the amendment.

Mayor Cox opened the public hearing and /P 3301 City Council review of USE PERMIT NO. CA Squeeze 3301, a request of CALIFORNIA SQUEEZE, (88) Newport Beach, approved by the Planning Commission on January 7, 1988, to permit the establishment of a take -out • restaurant with a take -out window and incidental seating which specializes in freshly squeezed juices, cappuccinos, shakes and fruit bowls, on property located at 3014 West Balboa Boulevard; zoned SP -6 (Cannery Village /McFadden Square Specific Plan Area). The proposal also includes a request to waive a portion of the required off- street parking spaces and a modification to the Zoning Code so as to allow a reduced parking aisle width in conjunction with wider - than - normal parking spaces. Report from the Planning Department, was presented. Letter from representative of Carl Karcher Enterprises objecting to potential impact California Squeeze will have upon the Shopping Center parking, was presented. The City Clerk advised that after the agenda was printed, three letters were received in opposition to the proposal from VIP Cleaners, Cagney Enterprises and Lucky Stores, Inc. Volume 42 - Page 37 COUNCIL MEMBERS J • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES February 8, 1988 Michael Samen, 211 Walnut Street, U/P 3301 co- applicant, addressed the Council in CA Squeeze support of their request. He stated that they want to create a unique health -food type take -out restaurant that the City would be proud of, and something that would be compatible with the area. He stated that California Squeeze would.be targeted for foot traffic from the beach, and they do not feel their restaurant would have an impact on the Lucky's Shopping Center parking lot. He commented that they will post a sign at the restaurant advising patrons to park in the rear, and will also place a bicycle rack at their location. He stated it is their intention to operate a clean and healthy -type facility and asked that the Council allow them that opportunity. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, addressed the Council and discussed the subject proposal with particular regard to the method in which staff calculates parking requirements. In response to the above comments, staff clarified the definition of a take -out restaurant as set forth in the Zoning Code, and explained the criteria used in establishing the parking standards for this type of use. Don R. Adkinson, 1516 E. Ocean Front, Attorney for Cagney Enterprises, addressed the Council in opposition to the request due to the impact it would have on the Lucky Shopping Center's parking lot. He stated that the proposed restaurant, being located directly fronting Balboa Boulevard, would appear a prime target for patronage by people arriving at, or departing from, the beach by automobile. They further believe that the Planning Commission's findings are not sufficient to protect the interests of their client and those of its subtenants, and therefore, would urge the Council deny the request. Sharon Wright, 6565 Knott Avenue, Buena Park, representing Lucky Stores, Inc., addressed the Council and spoke against the proposal for the reasons as enumerated in their lettr of February 3. She stated that they already experience parking problems in the center during the summer months, to the extent that they hire a security guard to monitor Volume 42 - Page 38 1 COUNCIL MEMBERS o y r 0¢ �9 G RnL1 cell • • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES February 8, 1988 parking during this time, and at various other times during the year when there is good beach weather. She stated that any additional parking problems could result in a marginal operation which could necessitate the possible relocation or closing of the facility. Earle Watts, 124' 31st Street, addressed the Council and stated that he resides near the proposed take -out restaurant and felt that it will provide foods and beverages not now available in the immediate area, and would urge the Council to approve the request. Russ Fluter, 3008 W. Ocean Front, owner of the subject property, addressed the Council in support of the request. He explained how he upgraded the structure after purchasing it, and stated that of the proposals offered to him, he felt the California Squeeze would be the most compatible for the area. Fred Joyner, owner of Tide Office Supply, 3115 Newport Boulevard in the Lucky Shopping Center, addressed the Council in opposition to the request. He stated that he pays premium rent in order to have parking, and he does not feel that the proposed restaurant should be allowed to use the parking that he and other tenants pay for. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, addressed the Council and stated that he sympathizes with the concerns of the tenants of the Lucky Shopping Center; however, he does feel the Council should look at the type of business being requested. He stated that the proposed restaurant will be primarily walk -by trade from the beach and will not be a destination -type business, and therefore, will not have an impact on the parking lot. Dave Weigel, Area Real Estate Manager for Lucky Stores, Inc., 16581 South Circle, Huntington Beach, addressed the Council in opposition to the proposed restaurant. He stated that there is no on- street parking in front of the restaurant as the curb is painted red, and with only three parking spaces provided to the rear of the restaurant, (two of which will be used for employees) it is felt that the customers will have no other choice than to park in the Lucky Shopping Center parking lot.

MINUTES February 8, 1988 Michael Samen, co- applicant, addressed the Council again, and stated that he was appreciative of the concerns expressed, but felt that they will only be catering to foot- traffic and that their customers will not be parking on the premises. He urged the Council to give them an opportunity to open the business, and if deemed necessary, their use permit could be reviewed in six months. Lisa McGhee, co- applicant, 211 Walnut Avenue, addressed the Council and stated that they contacted numerous residents in.the neighborhood over the weekend, and received no objections to their request. She also felt that their patrons would be primarily foot - traffic, and therefore, parking would not be a problem. Tim Cane, 211 Walnut Avenue, addressed the Council in support of the request. He stated he felt that the patrons going to the California Squeeze would either be riding bicycles or walking, and urged the Council to give the applicants a chance at this venture. Council Member Turner, in discussing the parking issue, stated that the City's current parking ordinance does not really apply to the subject type of use very accurately. Be stated that he does not like to waive parking requirements, and felt that the existing parking regulations should be revised by staff and "tightened up." He stated that he has viewed the site in question and did observe a number of persons walking across Balboa Boulevard from the ocean side to the shopping center, and therefore, he felt that most of the trade at the proposed take -out restaurant would be walk -up. in view of the foregoing, motion was made to uphold the Planning Commission's decision and approve Use Permit No. 3301, with the provision that Condition No. 22 be amended to require that said use permit be reviewed in six months from the date the restaurant opens for business. Council Member Strauss spoke against the motion, stating that he was very familiar with the area, and the parking problem in the Lucky Shopping Center lot. He stated that the parking situation gets worse in the summer Volume 42 -Page 40 U/P 3301 CA Squeeze, IMe • Ayes Noes COUNCIL MEMBERS y � 9 Lp Motion All Ayes 0 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH x I x I x I x I x I x I x x MINUTES February 8, 1988 months, which is when the California Squeeze would be doing their best business, and therefore, adding to the burden of parking. He stated he cannot support waiving the requested parking requirements, and therefore, made a substitute motion to overrule the decision of the Planning Commission and deny the request for use permit. Discussion ensued, wherein various Council Members expressed their concerns regarding the parking issue, and their reasons for not being able to support the request. Council Member Sansone, also speaking against the use permit, stated he felt there should be a more "clear -cut" definition of a take -out restaurant, as well as what the parking requirements are for that type of use. He stated he did not feel it should be up to the Planning Commission, or City Council to determine if certain parking requirements are met or should be waived, etc. He stated it upsets him to think that this use permit came this far, as he felt the applicants should have been told in the beginning by staff that they did not meet the parking requirements. He stated he felt that many of the existing zoning ordinances are "too vague" and should be reviewed and updated. Hearing no other comments, the substitute motion to deny the use permit was voted on and carried. 3. Mayor Cox opened the public hearing regarding CHANGES IN HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Report from Fire Chief with resolution granting exemption from the Inventory and Business Emergency Plan Provisions, were presented. Hearing no one wishing to address the Council, the public hearing was closed. Motion was made to adopt Resolution No. 88 -8, granting exemption from the Inventory and Business Emergency Plan Provisions as authorized by Health and Safety Code Section 25503.05. volume 42 - Page 41 U/P 3301 CA Squeeze 41) [iII•� COUNCIL Motion All Ayes i • n0l \f x CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES February 8, 1988 E. PUBLIC COMMENTS: 1. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, addressed the Council and stated that he concurred in the remarks of Council Member Sansone regarding the "unclarity" of certain ordinances and the need for staff review. He also commented he felt the City should provide additional beach parking so that beach goers will not use parking at lots like Lucky's Shopping Center. F.
