TO* Fred Talarico, Environmental Coordinator
FROM: Advance Planning Division
SUBJECT: Seaside Restaurant Initial Study
The Draft Initial Study states that attractingvi:siito.rs into the marine areas
of the City is a Local Coastal Planning policy. The LCPAC has not adopted
any policies and this section should be revised.
The existing facility is a coastal-related use; and if the four commercial
fishing boats docked on the site are part of the operation or supply fish for the
wholesale or retail enterprises, the use could be considered coastally dependent
in nature. (The exact relationship of the commercial fishing boats and the
wholesale-retail. operation should be determined) .
The existing use includes docking facilities currently used by four commercial
fishing boats. The project includes a proposal to drive pilings and extend
a sidewalk 10 feet further than the existing bulkhead and provision of a new
pier and docking area parallel to the existing bulkhead (similar to the
existing Lafayette Marine Building). This change in docking facilities will
result in a reduction of available docking space. The side tie cannot be any
longer than the 61 .2' of the lot width. This would allow one and possibly
two boats (of similar size to those docked currently) to dock. Additionally,
it is unlikely that the new docking space will be utilized by commercial fishing
boats, but rather will probably be used for restaurant patrons or for more
attractive recreational boats. -
Additionally, the following section of the Coastal Act of 1976 applies to this
project:
"30234. Facilities serving the commercial fishing and recreational
boating industries shall 'be protected and, where feasible, upgraded.
Existing commercial fishing and recreational boating harbor space shall
not be reduced unless the demand for those facilities no longer exists
or adequate substitute space has been provided. Proposed recreational
boating facilities shall , where feasible, be designed and located in such ,
a fashion as not to interfere with the needs of the commercial fishing
industry."

I , PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

1 The proposed Seaside Restaurant development comprises a two-
story building and two parking areas nearby. The building will contain
1 parking spaces on the first floor and a restaurant with accompanying
services on the second floor.
1 The building site is located between Lafayette Avenue and the
Rhine Channel (Lots 1 and 2 Block 425 of Lancaster's Addition to Newport
Beach as shown in map recorded in Book 5, page 14 in the Orange County
office) . The building site measures 61.48 feet along Lafayette Avenue
and 100 feet from that avenue to the end of the public walk overhang
1 on Rhine Channel . (See Appendix for legal description. )
The first floor of the building will have valet parking spaces
1 for 15 motor vehicles, a storage room, service entry, and stairs and
elevator to the second floor. Vehicle entry will be from Lafayette
1 Avenue and exit to an alley south of the building.
The second floor will contain three dining areas, a lounge
1 area, bar, kitchen, reception area, oyster bar, restrooms, fireplace,
planter, and stairways. (Details are shown in the accompanying building
site plans. )
1 In order to conform to a seaside theme, the building will be
designed to resemble a New England coastal structure with peaked roof
and rough wood exterior. The interior decor will be appropriate for a
seafood restaurant.
1 Offsite parking on Outlot No. 1 is located diagonally across
from the restaurant, fronting on 28th Street between Villa Way and an
1 alley. (Lot 27 and northwesterly 17.56 feet of Lot 28 in Block 225 of
Lancaster's Addition to Newport Beach, as shown in map recorded in Book 5,
1 page 14 of miscellaneous maps in the office of the County Recorder, Orange
County. )

Offsite parking on Outlot No. 1 measures 90 feet along 28th
1 Street and 45 feet parallel to Villa Way and an alley. There will be
valet parking spaces for 12 motor vehicles and access will be off
1 28th Street.
Offsite parking on Outlot No. 2 is located between Newport
1 Boulevard and the aforementioned alley. (Lots 4,5,6,7, and 8 in Block
225 of Lancaster's Addition to Newport Beach as shown in map recorded
in Book 5, page 14 of miscellaneous maps in the office of the County
1 Recorder, Orange County. )
Outlot No. 2 measures 125 feet along Newport Boulevard and
1 92 feet perpendicularly from the boulevard to the alley. There will be
valet parking spaces for 36 motor vehicles and access will be from the
1 alley. (Details of both lots are shown on the accompanying graphics. )
In order to achieve the proposed project, existing buildings
1 will have to be removed from the restaurant site and from Outlots 1 and 2.
The proposed project comprises resubdivision of the restaurant
1 site, removal of existing structures, clearing and grading the sites, and
driving 6 new piles 5 feet out from the existing bulkhead to support a
public walk on the first floor and the greenhouse dining area on the
1 second floor. (Refer to accompanying graphics for details. )

II . ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
1
1 Land Use
1 Existing Conditions: The project sites are located in an area
of mixed commercial , light industrial , residential , and marine land uses.
1 Within a few blocks are many small specialty shops, including a concen-
tration of those selling antiques, and several marine-theme restaurants.
1 The Seaside Restaurant site has been occupied for many years by
facilities for retail/wholesale marketing and warehousing of fish. The
existing building is- identified as "Corrigan Seafoods". The site is
1 designated in the Land Use Element of the City General Plan as a mixture
of Recreation/Marine Commercial and Industrial . The site is zoned M-1.
1 Restaurant uses are permitted in the M-1 District, subject to the approval
of a Use Permit. The existing use includes docking facilities used by
1 several commercial fishing boats.
The Outlot No. 1 site contains a small structure in the southwest
1 corner. The remainder is vacant land that is used for limited parking,
presumably by local workers and patrons of the adjacent E1 Ranchito Rest-
aurant. The Land Use Element of the City General Plan designates the
site as a mixture of Recreation/Marine Commercial and Industrial . The
site is zoned M-1.
1 The Outlot No. 2 site is occupied by several old buildings with
addresses on Newport Boulevard: 2806 is identified as Fashion Shack,
1 specializing in bikinis; 2810 is a wooden building unidentifiable from the
outside, but which could be a small shop/warehouse; 2814 is a small structure
1 about 6 x 8 feet and which appears to have been used as a stand for selling
wares. Separate from this structure at this address is a wooden dwelling.
1 The total site is designated by the Land Use Element of the City General
Plan as Retail/Service Commercial . The site is zoned C-1.
1
17

1
Environmental Impacts: The proposed project is consistent with .
1 the City General Plan Land Use Element and Zoning pending issuance of a
Use Permit. It is recognized that the existing facility is a coastal-
related use; and if the commercial fishing boats docked on the site are
part of the operation or supply fish for the wholesale or retail enter-
prises, the use could be considered coastally dependent in nature. A
section of the Coastal Act of 1976 applies to the project.*
The project includes a proposal to drive pilings and extend
1 a sidewalk 10 feet further than the existing bulkhead and provision of
a new pier and docking area parallel to the existing bulkhead (similar
1 to the existing Lafayette Marine Building) . This change in docking fa-
cilities will reduce available docking space. The side tie cannot be any
1 longer than the 61.2 feet of the lot width. This would allow one and
possibly two boats similar in size to those now docked. It is unlikely
1 that the new docking space will be used by commercial fishing boats, but
rather will probably be used by restaurant patrons or recreational boats.
1 The proposed project will attract more visitors to the area.
This may increase the number of nearby shops catering to the new trade.
On the other hand, the project would displace the marine-related facilities
1 now used in the marketing and storage of fish. (See letter in Appendix.)
1 Mitigation Measures: In order to ensure that the project will
conform to the various governmental regulations, permits will be required
1 from the City Marine Department, Coastal Commission, and Army Corps of
Engineers. Also, building and grading permits must be obtained from the

Traffic, Parking, Circulation
1
Existing Conditions: The three project sites are served by the
1 following streets: 28th Street (two-way traffic with parking both sides) ;
Lafayette Avenue (one-way traffic northbound with parking both sides) ;
1 Villa Way (one-way traffic southbound with parking one side) ; Newport
Boulevard (one-way traffic northbound with parking both sides) ; and the
1 unnamed alley (two-way traffic with no parking) .
Traffic on all these streets, except Newport Boulevard, is light
1 because they serve no major attractions, but are feeders to and from Newport
Boulevard. The latter is one-way northbound with parking both sides as it
passes proposed Outlot No. 2.
1 Environmental Impacts: The heaviest project traffic will be
1 during the dinner period, say 6 to 8 p.m. , with a smaller number of patrons
at other times of the day. Based upon 100 trips being generated per 1000
1 square feet of net public space, the project will generate 250 daily trips.
If we assume that each of the dinner hours will be peak hours, then 20 per
1 cent of the daily trips will be generated during that period (50 trips) .
Even if this figure turns out to be on the low side, the small restaurant
1 capacity would generate a traffic increase not considered significant in
this area.
There will be some indeterminate, but small , increase in vehicle
1 movement on the adjacent streets due to valet parking activity between the
restaurant and the offsite lots.
1 It must be noted that the restaurant traffic will peak when the
traffic serving the existing surrounding land uses will be lowest.
1 Using a factor of one parking space being required for every
40 square feet of net public space, the project will have to provide 63
1 parking spaces. This requirement will be met with 15 spaces on the ground
floor of the restaurant, 12 in Outlot No. 1, and 36 in Outlot No. 2.
1
1 yam. • • '��

1 Mitigation Measures: Patrons driving to the restaurant ground
floor will have their motor vehicles valet parked. This will ensure
1 efficient use of the three parking areas. In addition, some patrons may
prefer to park on the nearby streets., thereby providing a further "cushion"
for handling the parking load.
1 In order to avoid interfering with the northbound traffic on
Newport Boulevard and to maximize on-street parking, there will be no
1 access from that street to Outlot No. 2. All vehicles to and from that
lot will move via the alley at the rear of that property.
1 When the final design of the project is prepared, parking space
requirements, parking lot plans, and vehicular access provisions must
1 meet the standards of the Newport Beach Municipal Code and be approved
by the City Public Works Department.

Site and Marine Construction
1
Existing Conditions: As discussed under the Project Description,
' buildings exist on the restaurant site and on the proposed offsite parking
lots.
' Several commercial fishing boats are moored in Rhine Channel
adjoining the restaurant site. The dock between the Corrigan Seafoods
building and the channel is used for limited storage.
' Environmental Impacts: The existing structures on the three
sites will' be demolished and removed. The sites will be cleared and
' graded for leveling, and the restaurant site prepared. for the proposed
two-story structure. The offsite lots will be paved for parking.
' During these site preparations and restaurant construction,
there will be increased movement of trucks and construction equipment on
the adjacent streets. There will also be some noise and dust, as well as
' the potential for debris and pollutants entering Rhine Channel .
On the channel side of the restaurant, a new dock is planned
to extend 10 feet out from the existing bulkhead to the property line.
To support this, 6 piles will be driven 5 feet out from the existing
' bulkhead. The outer 5 feet of the dock will be a public walkway, and
the inner 5 feet of the dock will lead to a stairway serving the upstairs
' dining areas. The greenhouse dining area will be supported by the new
piles. (See the accompanying graphics.)
The marine area activity will doubtless disturb the existing
quality of the channel water. Driving the piles will stir up sediment
and some debris and pollutants may enter the channel . Except for the new
' piles, there will be no construction in the water beyond the bulkhead,
therefore there should be no reduction in channel water volume. The
' public walkway and new piles will interfere with the current moorings,
limiting them to two or three boats because of the changed orientation.
21
� sa • •
Mitigation Measures: During demolition, grading, and construction
of the project, debris will be prevented from entering the channel through
use of traps and containment booms in a manner satisfactory to the Planning
' and-Marine Departments of the Xi•ty.
Grading permits for the sites must be approved by the Building
' Department. An erosion and dust control plan will be submitted with the
grading permit application and will be subject to approval by the Director
' of the Planning Department.
The erosion and siltation control plan must be submitted to the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board (Santa Ana Region) •for
approval before construction starts. The proposed marine construction
must be certified safe by a registered engineer.
' The sites must be maintained in a clean and orderly condition
by periodic debris collection and disposal . All parking areas should be
' vacuum-swept weekly. In order to prevent runoff of oil pollutants to the
channel , grease traps should be installed and maintained in the parking areas.
' If boats are moored at the restaurant, the operation shall be
subject to City Marine Department rules and inspection.
' 22
' Aesthetics
Existing Conditions: The existing appearance of the three sites
is shown in the accompanying photographs. The Corrigan Seafoods building
is typical of those designed to store and ship materials. The only
' difference is the presence of a retail store facing Lafayette Avenue.
The structure is a simple two-story block building, painted white, with
' an identifying sign facing Lafayette. The rear one-story building has
facilities for loading and unloading trucks.
' The site of Outlot No. I is unpaved and unsightly. The sites
of this lot and of Outlot No. 2 contain structures described in the Land
Use section of this report. They are old, not particularly aesthetic,
but typical of the area.
' Environmental Impacts: The planned Seaside Restaurant will
' present a very different appearance than the existing building. Instead
of the plain unadorned rectangles, there will be a wooden New England
style structure with peaked roofs and a complex array of exposed beams.
Although the restaurant will be more massive than the existing building,
its design will harmonize with the large wooden structure (Lafayette Marine)
' just to the north on Lafayette Avenue. Extensive use of glass will provide
diners with almost panoramic views of the surrounding marine activities.
Converting the site of Outlot No. I into a paved, clean parking
area will be a definite aesthetic improvement. Clearing the site of
Outlot No. 2 for parking brings forth mixed aesthetic and emotional feelings'.
Although the existing structures are certainly no paragons of architectural
' creativity, they are no less attractive than others in the neighborhood.
The alley behind them needs upgrading for appearance.
23
i
' Replacing the existing buildings with a parking lot is not
' necessarily an aesthetic improvement. Very few parking lots bring joy
to the beholder. However, they are needed, especially in Newport Beach.
' As the sites are cleared and built upon, there will be temporary
unsightly impacts on viewers.
' Mitigation Measures: The project will comply with the Uniform
Building Code 1976 requirements and the detailed architectural design
' should be reviewed by the City Planning Department for aesthetic harmony
with the marine environment.
The appearance of the offsite parking lots would be improved
by some landscaping. Space limitations will make such landscaping
minimal , however, some simple perimeter plantings could be designed,
Perhaps a few trees at the curb should. be discussed with the City. Any
vegetation should be limited to drought-resistant or low-maintenance
species. Because of nearness to Rhine Channel , any landscape maintenance
must control the use of water, pesticides, and fertilizers.
One final note: the alley that will serve Outl'ot No. 2 is
particularly unattractive. Removing the structures will do much to
' improve the situation, but in addition the alley should be paved and
periodically cleared of rubbish.
24
' Other Protect Considerations
Existing Conditions: The air quality of the project area is
similar to that of nearby locations. Coastal air contains less smog than
in the interior of the county, except during Santa Ana wind conditions.
Some localized odors from marine activities may be experienced at times.
' These would include oil', fish,, and polluted water smells. These are not
considered offensive, but endemic to the marine location.
' Noise at the sites is caused by motor vehicle traffic and
occasional marine activities.
Because of the disturbed nature of the sites, it is unlikely
that there would be any significant evidences of archaeological or pale-
ontological interest.
There is no evidence that the existing structures were designed
with energy-saving considerations in mind.
Environmental Impacts: More motor vehicles will be attracted
' to the project sites than at present. To the extent of this slight increase,
there will be more exhaust pollution and vehicular noise. There may be
' some reduction in marine odors with the departure of the commercial seafood
operation.
The possibility of including some energy-saving features in
the project was discussed with the architect.
Mitigation Measures: Because of the minor nature of these
impacts, no mitigation measures are suggested.

Dear Mr. Sawyer:
' I am a General Partner in the partnership of Albert
Abdun-Nur, Thomas and Marge Corrigan, and my wife,
' Maxine who on July 25, 1978 leased properties from Nicholas
H. and Jean Marie Delaney, and on May 1, 1979 obtained
an Option from Arthur and Ida Mello for other properties
in Newport Beach.
The, Memorandum of the Lease with the Delaneys, which
expires on June 30, 2013 is attached along with a legal
description of the properties and a parcel map. The
Mello Option Contract is also enclosed. The parcel map
shows both the Delaney- and Mello properties.
Our partnership planned for a restaurant and secured the
properties, which we believed necessary for parking.
Our plans have changed and we have assigned our
tDelaney and Mello properties to TW Investors.
For your• information Lots 27 and 28 are solely for the
' use of our existing business, Corrigan's Sea Foods',
which will be moved elsewhere in the County. No
existing restaurant or business in the neighborhood
has permission to use these lots. As a practical
measure we extend a chain across the driveway and lock
our trucks.
' Specifically in response to your question, neither the
Ranchita restaurant owners or their patrons have
permission to use these lots for parking or other purposes.
The Option on the Mello properties has been extended through
June, 1980, and until then we expect the status quo to
remain. TW Investors as Assignees expect to utilize •these
properties for parking. These would be for the exclusive
use of the restaurant.

I , PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
r
The proposed Seaside* Restaurant development comprises a two-
story building and two parking areas nearby. The building will contain
parking spaces on the first floor and a restaurant with accompanying
services on the second floor.
The building site is located between Lafayette Avenue and the
Rhine Channel (Lots 1 and 2 Block 425 of Lancaster's Addition to Newport
Beach as shown in map recorded in Book 5, page 14 in the Orange County
office) . The building site measures 61.48 feet along Lafayette Avenue
and 100 feet from that avenue to the end of the public walk overhang
on Rhine Channel . (See Appendix for legal description. )
The first floor of the building will have valet parking spaces
for 15 motor vehicles, a storage room, service entry, and stairs and
elevator to the second floor. Vehicle entry will be from Lafayette
Avenue and exit to an alley south of the building.
^• The second floor will contain three dining areas, a lounge
area, bar, kitchen, reception area, oyster bar, restrooms, fireplace,
planter, and stairways. (Details are shown in the accompanying building
site plans. )
In order to conform to a seaside theme, the building will be
designed to resemble a New England coastal structure with peaked roof
and rough wood exterior. The interior decor will be appropriate for a
seafood restaurant.
Offsite parking on Outlot No. 1 is located diagonally across
from the restaurant, fronting on 28th Street between Villa Way and an
alley. (Lot 27 and northwesterly 17.56 feet of Lot 28 in Block 225 of
Lancaster's Addition to Newport Beach, as shown in map recorded in Book 5,
page 14 of miscellaneous maps in the office of the County Recorder, Orange
County. )
.�Y
Offsite parking on Outlot No. 1 measures 90 feet along 28th
Street and 45 feet parallel to Villa Way and an alley. There will 'be
valet parking spaces for 12 motor vehicles and access will be off
28th Street.
Offsite parking on Outlot No. 2 is located between Newport
Boulevard and the aforementioned alley. (Lots 4,5,6,7, and 8 in Block
225 of Lancaster's Addition to Newport Beach as shown in map recorded
in Book 5, page 14 of miscellaneous maps in the office of the County
Recorder, Orange County. )
Outlot No. 2 measures 125 feet along Newport Boulevard and
92 feet perpendicularly from the boulevard to the alley. There will be
µ valet parking spaces for 36 motor vehicles and access will be from the
alley. (Details of both lots are shown on the accompanying graphics.)
In order to achieve the proposed project, existing buildings
will have to be removed from the restaurant site and from Outlots 1 and 2.
The proposed project comprises resubdivision of the restaurant
site, removal of existing structures, clearing and grading the sites, and
driving 6 new piles 5 feet out from the existing bulkhead to support a
public walk on the first floor and the greenhouse dining area on the
second floor. (Refer to accompanying graphics for details. )

Land Use
Existing Conditions: The project sites are located in an area
of mixed commercial , light industrial , residential , and marine land uses.
Within a few blocks are many small specialty shops, including a concen-
tration of those selling antiques, and several marine-theme restaurants.
The Seaside Restaurant site has been occupied for many years by
facilities for retail/wholesale marketing and warehousing of fish. The
existing building is identified as "Corrigan Seafoods". The site is
designated in the Land Use Element of the City General Plan as a mixture
of Recreation/Marine Commercial and Industrial . The site is zoned M-1.
Restaurant uses are permitted in the M-1 District, subject to the approval
of a Use Permit. The existing use includes docking facilities used by
several commercial fishing boats.
w The Outlot No. 1 site contains a small structure in the southwest
corner. The remainder is vacant land that is used for limited parking,
presumably by local workers and patrons of the adjacent E1 Ranchito Rest-
aurant. The Land Use Element of the City General Plan designates the
site as a mixture of Recreation/Marine Commercial and Industrial . The
site is zoned M-1.
The Outlot No. 2 site is occupied by several old buildings with
addresses on Newport Boulevard: 2806 is identified as Fashion Shack,
specializing in bikinis; 2810 is a wooden building unidentifiable from the
outside, but which could be a small shop/warehouse; 2814 is a small structure
about 6 x 8 feet and which appears to have-been used as a stand for selling
wares. Separate from this structure at this address is a, wooden dwelling.
The total site is designated by the Land Use Element of the City General
Plan as Retail/Service Commercial . The site is zoned C-1.

Environmental Impacts The proposed
G p p project is consistent with
the City General Plan Land Use Element and Zoning pending issuance of a
Use Permit. It is recognized that the existing facility is a coastal-
related use; and if the commercial fishing boats docked on the site are
w part of the operation or supply fish for the wholesale or retail enter-
prises, the use could be considered coastally dependent in nature. A
section of the Coastal Act of 1976 applies to the project.*
The project includes a proposal to drive pilings and extend
a sidewalk 10 feet further than the existing bulkhead and provision of
a new pier and docking area parallel to the existing bulkhead (similar
to the existing Lafayette Marine Building). This change in docking fa-
cilities will reduce available docking space. The side tie cannot be any
longer than the 61.2 feet of the lot width. This would allow one and
w possibly two boats similar in size to those now docked. It is unlikely
that the new docking space will be used by commercial fishing boats, but
,rather Will probably be used by restaurant patrons or recreational boats.
The proposed project will attract more visitors to the area.
This may increase the number of nearby shops catering to the now trade.
On the other hand, the project would displace the marine-related facilities
now used in the marketing and storage of fish. (See letter in Appendix.)
Mitigation Measures:9 In order to ensure that the project will
" conform to the various governmental regulations, permits will be required
from the City Marine Department, Coastal Commission, and Army Corps of
- Engineers. Also, building and grading permits must be obtained from the
City. Mitigations relating to parking, traffic, aesthetics, and other
' �. impacts are discussed in subsequent sections of this report.
"30234. Facilities serving the cormnerciaZ fishing and recreationaZ boating
tries 6haZ2 be protected and, where feasible, upgraded. Existing com-
mercial fishing and recreational boating harbor space shaZZ not be reduced
unless the demand for those facilities no Zohger exists or adequate substi-
tute space has been provided. Proposed recreationaZ boating facilities shall,
where feasible, be designed and Zocated in such a fashion as not to interfere
with the needs of the commerciaZ fishing industry. "

Traffic, Parking, Circulation
Existing Conditions: The three project sites are served by the
following streets: 28th Street (two-way traffic with parking both sides) ;
Lafayette Avenue (one-way traffic northbound with parking both sides) ;
Villa Way (one-way traffic southbound with parking one side) ; Newport
Boulevard (one-way traffic northbound with parking both sides) ; and the
unnamed alley (two-way traffic with no parking).
Traffic on all these streets, except Newport Boulevard, is light
because they serve no major attractions, but are feeders to and from Newport
Boulevard. The latter is one-way northbound with parking both sides as it
passes proposed Outlot No. 2.
Environmental Impacts: The heaviest project traffic will be
during the dinner period, say 6 to 8 p.m. , with a smaller number of patrons
at other times of the day. Based upon 100 trips being generated per 1000
square feet of net public space, the project will generate 250 daily trips.
�^ If we assume that each of the dinner hours will be peak hours, then 20 per
cent of the daily trips will be generated during that period (50 trips) .
Even if this figure turns out to be on the low side, the small restaurant
capacity would generate a traffic increase not considered significant in
this area.
There will be some indeterminate, but small , increase in vehicle
movement on the adjacent streets due to valet parking activity between the
restaurant and the offsite lots.
It must be noted that the restaurant traffic will peak when the
traffic serving the existing surrounding land uses will be lowest.
Using a factor of one parking space being required for every
40 square feet of net public space, the project will have to provide 63
parking spaces. This requirement will be met with 15 spaces on the ground
floor of the restaurant, 12 in Outlot No. 1, and 36 in Outlot No. 2.
Mitigation Measures: Patrons driving to the restaurant ground
floor will have their motor vehicles valet parked. This will ensure
efficient use of the three parking areas. In addition, some patrons may,
,., prefer to park on the nearby streets, thereby providing a further "cushion"
for handling the parking load.
In order to avoid interfering with the northbound traffic on
Newport Boulevard and to maximize on-street parking, there will be no
access from that street to Outlot No. '2. All vehicles to and from that
y
lot will move via the alley at the rear of that property.
When the final design of the pro3ect is prepared, parking space
requirements, parking lot plans, and vehicular access provisions must
meet the standards of the Newport Beach Municipal Code and be approved
-- by the City Public Works Department.

Site and Marine Construction
Existing Conditions: As discussed under the Project Description,
W buildings exist on the restaurant site and on the proposed offsite parking
lots.
Several commercial fishing boats are moored in Rhine Channel
adjoining the restaurant site. The dock between the Corrigan Seafoods
building and the channel is used for limited storage.
Environmental Impacts: The existing structures on the three
W sites will be demolished and removed. The sites will be cleared and
graded for leveling, and the restaurant site prepared for the proposed'
two-story structure. The offsite lots will be paved for parking:
During these site preparations and restaurant construction,
there will be increased movement of trucks and' construction equipment on
the adjacent streets. There will also be some noise and dust, as well' as
the potential for debris and pollutants entering Rhine Channel .
On the channel side of the restaurant, a new dock is planned
to extend 10 feet out from the existing bulkhead to the property line.
To support this, 6 piles will be driven 5 feet out from the existing
bulkhead. The outer 5 feet of the dock will be a public walkway, and
the inner 5 feet of the dock will lead to a stairway serving the upstairs
dining areas. The greenhouse dining area will be supported by the new
piles. (See the accompanying graphics.)
The marine area activity will doubtless disturb the existing
quality of the channel water. Driving the piles will stir up sediment
and some debris and pollutants may enter the channel . Except for the new
piles, there will be no construction in the water beyond the bulkhead,
therefore there should be no reduction in channel water volume. The
public walkway and new piles will interfere with the current moorings,
limiting them to two or three boats because of the changed orientation.
M 21
r
• • it
Mitigation Measures: During demolition, grading, and construction
of the project, debris will be prevented from entering the channel through
e. use of traps and containment booms in a manner satisfactory to the Planning
and Marine Departments of the City.
W
Grading permits for the sites must be approved by the Building
Department. An erosion and dust control plan will be submitted with the
grading permit application and will be subject to approval by the Director ,
of the Planning Department..
W The erosion and siltation control plan must be submitted to the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board (Santa Ana Region) for
approval before construction starts. The proposed marine construction
must be certified safe by a registered engineer.
The sites must be maintained in a clean and orderly condition
M
by periodic debris collection and disposal . All parking areas should be
vacuum-swept weekly. In order to prevent runoff of oil pollutants to the
channel , grease traps should be installed and maintained in the parking areas.
If boats are moored at the restaurant, the operation shall be
subject to Ci-ty Marine Department rules and inspection.
- - 22
Aesthetics
Existing Conditions: The existing appearance of the three sites
is shown in the accompanying photographs. The Corrigan Seafoods building
is typical of those designed to store and ship materials. The only
difference is the presence of a retail store facing Lafayette Avenue.
The structure is a simple two-story block building,, painted white, with
an identifying sign facing Lafayette. The rear one-story building has
facilities for loading and unloading trucks.
The site of Outlot No. 1 is unpaved and unsightly. The sites
of this lot and of Outlot No. 2 contain structures described in the Land
Use section of this report. They are old, not particularly aesthetic,
but typical of the area.
Environmental Impacts: The planned Seaside Restaurant will
present a very different appearance than the existing building. Instead
of the plain unadorned rectangles, there will be a wooden New England
style structure with peaked roofs and a complex array of exposed beams.
w.
Although the restaurant will be more massive than the existing building,
its design will harmonize with the large wooden structure (Lafayette Marine)
just to the north on Lafayette Avenue. Extensive use of glass will provide
diners with almost panoramic views of the surrounding marine activities.
Converting the site of Outlot No. 1 into a paved, clean parking
area will be a definite aesthetic improvement. Clearing the site of
Outlot No. 2 for parking brings forth mixed aesthetic and emotional feelings.
Although the existing structures are certainly no paragons of architectural
creativity, they are no less attractive than others in the neighborhood.
The alley behind them needs upgrading for appearance.
23
Replacing the existing buildings with a parking lot is not
necessarily an aesthetic improvement. Very few parking lots bring joy
to the beholder. However, they are needed, especially in Newport Beach.
As the sites are cleared and built upon, there will be temporary
unsightly impacts on viewers.
Mitigation Measures: The project wibl comply with the Uniform
Building Code 1976 requirements and the detailed architectural design
should be reviewed by the City Planning Department for aesthetic harmony
with the marine environment.
The appearance of the offsite parking lots would be improved
by some landscaping. Space limitations will make such landscaping
minimal , however, some simple perimeter plantings could be designed.
Perhaps a few trees at the curb should, be discussed with the City. Any
vegetation should be limited to drought-resistant or low-maintenance
species. Because of nearness to Rhine Channel , any landscape maintenance
must control the use of water, pesticides, and fertilizers.
One final note: the alley that will serve Outlot No. 2 is
particularly unattractive. Removing the structures will do much to
improve the situation, but in addition the,alley should be paved and
periodically cleared of rubbish.
24
Other Protect Considerations
Existing Conditions: The air quality of the project area is
similar to that of nearby locations. Coastal air contains less smog than
in the interior of the county, except during Santa Ana wind conditions.
Some localized odors from marine activities may be experienced at times.
These would include oil , fish, and polluted water smells. These are not
considered offensive, but endemic to the marine location.
Noise at the sites is caused by motor vehicle traffic and
occasional marine activities.
Because of the disturbed nature of the sites, it is unlikely
that there would be any significant evidences of archaeological or pale-
ontological interest.
There is no evidence that the existing structures were designed
with energy-saving considerations in mind.
Environmental Impacts: More motor vehicles will be attracted
to the project sites than at present. To the extent of this slight increase,
there will be more exhaust pollution and vehicular noise. There may be
some reduction in marine odors with the departure of the commercial seafood
" operation.
The possibility of including some energy-saving features in
the project was discussed with the architect.
Mitigation Measures: Because of the minor nature of these
impacts, no mitigation measures are suggested.

Irvine, California 92714
Dear Mr. Sawyer:
I am a General Partner in the partnership of Albert
Abdun-Nur, Thomas and Marge Corrigan, and my wife,
Maxine who on July 25, 1978 leased properties from Nicholas
H. and Jean Marie Delaney, and on May 1, 1979 obtained
an Option from Arthur and Ida Mello for other properties
in Newport Beach.
., The Memorandum of the Lease with the Delaneys, which
expires on June 30, 2013 is attached along with a legal
description of the properties and a parcel map. The
Mello Option Contract is also enclosed. The parcel map
shows both the Delaney and Mello properties.
Our partnership planned for a restaurant and secured the
�- properties, which we believed necessary for parking.
Our plans have changed and we have assigned our
Delaney and Mello properties to TW Investors.
.a
For your information Lots 27 and 28 are solely for the
use of our existing business, Corrigan' s Sea Foods,
which will be moved elsewhere in the County. No
existing restaurant or business in the neighborhood
has permission to use these lots. As a practical
measure we extend a chain across the driveway and lock
our trucks.
Specifically in response to your question, neither the
.. Ranchita restaurant owners or their patrons have
permission to use these lots for parking or other purposes.
The Option on the Mello properties has been extended through
June, 1980, and until then we expect the status quo to
remain. TW Investors as Assignees expect to utilize these
properties for parking. These would be for the exclusive
use of the restaurant.
Concerning the mooring of boats adjacent to the existing

structure, these are on a month-to-month basis to
commercial users. Our property line extends ten feet
beyond the bulk head, and the use of this area will be
r. consistent with prevailing regulations of cognizant
agencies.
I hope the foregoing is responsive to your questions.
Ue are in Escrow at First American Title Company,

upon timely approvals by governmental agencies.
Please keep me advised if you need additional information.
