IV. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
ITEM NO. 2 Sessions Alcohol Sales Minor Use Permit No. UP2019-040 (PA2019-141)
Site Location: 101 Newport Center Drive Council District 5
Liane Schuller, Planning Consultant, provided a brief project description stating that Sessions West Coast Deli
is opening a second Newport Beach location in Fashion Island, and is seeking approval to serve beer and
wine in conjunction with their food service. The restaurant/food service establishment is permitted by right
within this commercial district; however, a minor use permit is required in order to serve alcohol. The
application has been reviewed by the Police Department, and the conditions of approval from that
department have been included in the draft resolution. Staff believes that the proposed use is compatible
with surrounding permitted commercial uses, and that the proposed conditions of approval for the sale of
beer and wine will serve to eliminate or minimize any potential problems stemming from the sale of alcohol
in conjunction with the food service use. The proposed conditions of approval restrict the hours of operation
(no late hours), establish operational limitations(no dancing, no live entertainment), require certified training
for those employees serving alcohol, and restrictions on signage and noise. Staff is recommending approval
of the application.
The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing.
Applicant Matt Meddock, stated that he had reviewed the draft resolution and agrees with all of the conditions.
Seeing that no one from the public wished to comment, the public hearing was closed.
Action: Approved
V. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS
None.
