NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, August 20, 2020, at 6:30 p.m. or soon thereafter as the matter shall
be heard, a public hearing will be conducted in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. The
Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach will consider the following application:
Corona del Mar 76 Service Station Remodel and Convenience Store – The Applicant proposes a coastal
development permit and conditional use permit to allow the demolition of the existing vehicle service building and
convenience market and construct a new, two-story, 2,590-square-foot convenience store. The application includes a
request for deviations from minimum lot size, setbacks for the retail building and air/water dispenser, and minimum
landscaping requirements pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section 20.48.210 (Service Stations).
The application includes the addition of a Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer and Wine) Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”) license.
The existing pump canopy, eight fuel dispensers, and below grade fuel infrastructure are to remain unchanged. The
convenience market would operate from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., daily, with alcohol sales from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
daily. If approved, this conditional use permit and coastal development permit would supersede Use Permit No. 1580
