RESOLUTION NO. PC2019-022
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. UP2019-023, WHICH
SUPERSEDES USE PERMIT NO. UP3578, TO ALLOW A TYPE 47
(ON SALE GENERAL -EATING PLACE) ALCOHOL LICENSE AT
AN EXISTING FOOD SERVICE, EATING AND DRINKING
ESTABLISHMENT LOCATED AT 2816 LAFAYETTE AVENUE
(PA2019-075)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by Overstreet LLC dba The Dock ("Applicant") representing
Christine Overstreet ("Owner") with respect to property located at 2816 Lafayette Avenue,
and legally described as Lot 9 in Block 425 of Lancaster's Addition to Newport Beach, in
the City of Newport Beach, County of Orange, State of California, as per map recorded in
Book 5, Page(s) 14 of Miscellaneous Maps, in the office of the County Recorder of said
County ("Property").
2. The Applicant seeks a conditional use permit to allow a Type 47 (On Sale General -Eating
Place) license with the Alcoholic Beverage Control ("ABC License") at an existing eating
and drinking establishment (restaurant). The Dock currently operates with a Type 41 (On
Sale Beer and Wine) alcoholic beverage license with hours of operation from 6:00 a.m.
through 11 :00 p.m., daily. The existing establishment consists of 1,060 square feet of net
public area, including a 597-square-foot covered outdoor patio fronting the Rhine Channel.
No change to hours of operation and no physical interior or exterior alterations are
proposed. The Applicant also requests a continuation of historical parking reductions. If
approved, this use permit would supersede Use Permit No. UP3578.
3. The Property is designated MU-W2 (Mixed Use Water Related) by the General Plan Land
Use Element and located within the MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water Related) Zoning District.
4. The Property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan category is
MU-W (Mixed-Use Water Related) and located within the MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water
Related) Coastal Zoning District. A coastal development permit is not required because
the request to change the type of permitted Alcoholic Beverage Control ("ABC") license
does not intensify or expand the existing eating and drinking establishment use.
5. A public hearing was held on August 8, 2019, in the Council Chambers located at 100 Civic
Center Drive, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the public
hearing was given in accordance with California Government Code Section 54950 et
seq. ("Ralph M. Brown Act") and Chapter 20.62 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code
("NBMC"). Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the
Planning Commission at this public hearing.
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-022

SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. This Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to
Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code
of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a
significant effect on the environment.
2. The Class 1 exemption includes the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing,
licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical
equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use. The
Project does not include any interior or exterior alterations to the existing eating and
drinking establishment. No increase of gross floor area or net public area would occur
with the approval of the requested amendment.
3. The exceptions to this categorical exemption under Section 15300.2 are not applicable.
The Project location does not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical
concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does not have a significant effect on the
environment due to unusual circumstances, does not damage scenic resources within
a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site, and is not identified as a historical
resource.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with Section 20.48.030(C)(3) (Alcohol Sales-Required Findings) of the NBMC,
the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Finding:
A. The use is consistent with the purpose and intent of NBMC Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol
Sales).
Facts in Support of Finding:
In finding that the Project is consistent with Section 20.48.030 of the NBMC, the following
criteria must be considered:
i. The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as compared to
other areas in the City.
1. The Property is located in Reporting District 15 (RD 15). The Part One Crimes
(The eight most serious crimes defined by the FBI Uniform Crime Report -
homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, auto theft,
and arson) crime rate in RD 15 was 159 crimes reported in 2018, which is higher
than adjacent reporting districts RD 12, RD 16, and RD 13 and the citywide
average. The higher crime rate is largely due to the number of visitors to the
Balboa Peninsula, the high concentration of restaurants, and the high ratio of
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-022
Page 3 of 13
nonresidential to residential uses. The findings can be made despite higher
concentrations of crimes and the area was designed to accommodate
restaurants. The service of alcoholic beverages would provide additional menu
options for customers and would enhance the economic viability of the business.
2. The Newport Beach Police Department ("NBPD") has reviewed the proposed
use, provided operating conditions of approval, and has no objection to the
addition of the Type 4 7 alcoholic beverage license subject to appropriate
conditions of approval. The operation of the establishment includes the approved
floor plan and a closing hour of 11 :00 p.m.
ii. The numbers of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting
district and in adjacent reporting districts.
1. The total number of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in RD 15
is higher than RD 13, RD 16 and RD 12. The Property had two (2) dispatch calls
for 2018, neither of which were related to alcohol service. The NBPD has
reviewed the Project and has no objection to the Applicant's request.
iii. The proximity of the establishment to residential zoning districts, day care centers,
hospitals, park and recreation facilities, places of worship, schools, other similar uses,
and any uses that attract minors.
1. The Property is located in a mixed-use district where residential development is
permitted above the first floor. There is an existing residence located on the
second floor above the establishment and mixed-use developments that include
residential units are located on nearby properties along Lafayette Avenue. The
change from a Type 41 to a Type 47 ABC License with an existing eating and
drinking establishment is not anticipated to significantly impact these adjacent
land uses.
2. The nearest place of recreation, Lido Park, is located approximately 850 feet to
the northeast. The nearest church, St. James Episcopal Church, is located
approximately 550 feet to the north of the Property. The nearest school, Newport
Elementary School, is located approximately 1 mile to the southeast along West
Balboa Boulevard. The nearest hospital, Hoag Hospital, is located approximately
0.6 mile to the northwest. The nearest childcare center, Children's Center by the
Sea, is located approximately 0.6 mile to the southeast. The Project is otherwise
surrounded by other commercial, retail, office, and residential uses.
3. The Balboa Peninsula is generally characterized by a high number of visitors, in
which commercial and residential zoning districts are located in close proximity
to one another.
4. Eating and drinking establishments with incidental alcohol service are common
in the area. The proposed change to a Type 4 7 ABC License is not anticipated
to alter the operational characteristics of the use such that it becomes detrimental
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-022
Page 4 of 13
to the area. The resolution includes conditions of approval to further minimize
negative impacts to surrounding land uses and ensure that the use remains
compatible with the surrounding community.
iv. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off-site or
on-site consumption.
1. The Cannery Village area was designed to accommodate multiple restaurants
and the Project is located in close proximity to other food service establishments.
This includes Tupelo Junction Cafe, a food service with a Type 47 (On Sale
General) ABC License located at 508 29th Street, and Cannery Seafood of the
Pacific, a food service with outdoor dining, a Type 4 7 (On Sale General) ABC
License and no late hours (open after 11 :00 p.m.) located at 3010 Lafayette
Avenue. The RD 15 statistics indicate an over concentration of alcohol licenses
within this statistical area.
2. The per capita ratio of one (1) ABC License for every sixty-four (64) residents is
higher than the adjacent districts and the average ratio for Orange County. This
is due to the higher concentration of commercial land uses, alcohol licenses
attributed to adjacent marina operations, lower number of residential properties,
and high number of restaurants in Lido Marina Village, Cannery Village, and
McFadden Square. While the license-to-resident ratio is higher than average and
the Project is located in close proximity to other establishments, the location in
Cannery Village, an established commercial area, together with the proposed
operational characteristics would make the Type 47 ABC License acceptable.
The NBPD does not anticipate any increase in crime or alcohol-related incidents
with the approval of this application subject to the proposed conditions of
approval.
v. Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable
conditions.
1. No objectionable conditions are presently occurring at the Property.
2. The existing eating and drinking establishment has included alcoholic beverage
sales at this location since 1996. There were two (2) police dispatch events in
2018, though neither were related to alcohol service.
3. The Project has been reviewed and conditioned to help ensure that the purpose
and intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the NBMC is maintained and
that a healthy environment for residents and businesses is preserved. The
service of alcohol is intended for the convenience of customers dining at the
establishment. Operational conditions of approval recommended by the NBPD
relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages will ensure compatibility with the
surrounding uses and minimize alcohol-related impacts.
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-022
Page 5 of 13
4. The establishment is required to close by 11 :00 p.m., daily, which will ensure the
use does not become a late night bar, tavern, or nightclub.
5. The resolution includes conditions of approval to limit objectionable conditions
related to noise and trash from the establishment. All employees serving alcohol
will be required to be at least 21 years of age and receive ABC-required Licensee
Education on Alcohol and Drugs ("LEAD") or Responsible Beverage Service
("RBS") training.
In accordance with Subsection 20.52.020(F) (Findings and Decision) of the NBMC, 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:
1. The MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water Related) land use designations under the General Plan
and Coastal Land Use Plan apply to waterfront properties in which marine-related uses
may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor-serving commercial, and residential
dwelling units on the upper floors. Although the Property and surrounding development
does not include residential uses, the proposed eating and drinking establishment is
consistent with the visitor-serving land uses intended for the MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water
Related) land use designation.
2. The Property is not part of a specific plan area, therefore no findings of consistency with
a specific plan is necessary.
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:
1. The MU-W2 (Mixed Use Water Related) Zoning District applies to waterfront properties
in which marine-related uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor-serving
commercial, and residential dwelling units on the upper floors. Eating and drinking
establishments with alcohol and no late hours require the approval of a minor use permit
within the MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water Related) Zoning District. The requested application
is to add additional alcohol service to the existing eating and drinking establishment.
2. The existing food service, eating and drinking establishment does not provide on-site
parking. In 1971, the Planning Commission approved Use Permit No. UP1536 to allow
the establishment of a take-out restaurant. The restaurant was established prior to the
requirement of off-street parking for the use in the zoning district and no off-street
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-022
Page 6 of 13
parking was provided. In 1996, the Planning Commission approved Use Permit No.
UP3578 changing the operating characteristics of the existing restaurant to allow the
service of beer and wine, including a waiver of parking requirements. In 2005, the
Planning Commission approved a second amendment to the use permit, Use Permit
No. UP3578, approving an expansion of the net public area of the restaurant to the
present-day 1,060 square feet, including an outdoor patio. Use Permit No. UP3578
included the waiver of three (3) off-street parking spaces associated with the expansion
due to proximity to a City-owned parking lot located a walking distance of approximately
360 feet from the restaurant.
3. Under current parking requirements for a food service, eating and drinking
establishment, parking is required at a rate of one (1) parking space per 30 to 50 square
feet of net public area. In this case, a parking rate of one (1) space per 50 square feet
of net public area is appropriate for the proposed use based on several physical design
and operational characteristics. For example, there are a total of forty-seven (47) seats
in the 597-square-foot dining area. Further, the net public area includes a waiting area
and hallways, which does not allow for seating and dining, and the project is conditioned
to prohibit live entertainment and dancing.
4. With a net public area of 1,060 square feet and a parking rate of one (1) space per 50
square feet of net public area, twenty-two (22) parking spaces are required to serve the
Project under current standards. Due to the location of the municipal parking lot located
a walking distance of approximately 360 feet from the restaurant, no additional parking
beyond spaces previously waived is required for the Project.
5. Subsection 20.48.090(F)(3)(b) (Eating and Drinking Establishments, Outdoor Dining) of
the NBMC also requires that the review authority consider the relationship of outdoor
dining to sensitive noise receptors. The outdoor dining patio closing hour of 11 :00 p.m.
will minimize noise impacts to residents located across the Rhine Channel.
6. As conditioned, the Project will comply with Zoning Code standards for eating and
drinking establishments.
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:
1. The existing establishment has operated at this location since 1971, has included
alcohol service since 1996, and has proven compatible with the existing and allowed
uses in the area, which consist of retail commercial, office, and residential
developments. The Project includes conditions of approval to ensure that the potential
for conflicts continues to be minimized to the greatest extent possible.
Planning-Commission Resolution No. PC2019-022
Page 7 of 13
2. The Property and surrounding properties on the block are developed with a variety of
structures consisting of commercial retail, service, mixed-use, and residential dwelling
units. As conditioned, the allowed hours of operation will be 6:00 a.m. to 11 :00 p.m.,
daily, which will minimize late night disturbances to residences near the Property and
across the Rhine Channel.
3. The existing food service, eating and drinking establishment has provided a trash
enclosure accessible from the side yard that is completely screened from adjacent
properties and rights-of-way.
4. The operational conditions of approval will promote compatibility with the surrounding
uses. The floor plan provides tables to accommodate seats and a dining atmosphere.
There is no live entertainment or dance floor. The Applicant is required to maintain the
Property in substantial conformance with the approved floor plan in conjunction with a
Type 47 (On Sale General -Eating Place) ABC License so that the restaurant's primary
use is a bona fide eating and drinking establishment and not a bar, lounge, or night club.
Finding:
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:
1. The existing establishment is accessible from Lafayette Avenue, which provides
convenient access for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists.
2. The Property is located within an existing commercial building and the tenant space is
designed and developed for an eating and drinking establishment. The design, size,
location, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood and are not proposed to change.
3. No intensification or enlargement is proposed with the addition of a Type 47 ABC
License; therefore, no additional on-site parking is required. The Cannery Village area
is a relatively dense area with multiple uses within a short distance of each other and is
conducive to a significant amount of walk-in patrons. Furthermore, a municipal parking
lot and on-street parking is available in the area to accommodate Cannery Village
businesses.
4. Although no physical improvements are proposed at this time, future site and tenant
improvements must comply with Title 20 of the NBMC and all Building, Public Works,
and Fire Codes for permits to be issued.
Finding:
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-022
Page 8 of 13
F. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the
harmonious and orderly growth of the City, nor 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:
1. The Project has been reviewed and includes conditions of approval to ensure that
potential conflicts with the surrounding land uses are minimized to the greatest extent
possible. The operator is required to take reasonable steps to discourage and correct
objectionable conditions that constitute a nuisance in parking areas, sidewalks and
areas surrounding the Property and adjacent properties during business hours, if directly
related to the patrons of the establishment.
2. The addition of a Type 47 (On Sale General) ABC License will add menu options and
continue to provide a public convenience to the surrounding neighborhood and visitors
to the area. The changes will also provide an economic opportunity for the business and
property owner.
3. The eating and drinking establishment is not allowed to operate as a bar, tavern, cocktail
lounge, or nightclub as defined by the NBMC.
4. The proposed use includes limited hours and closes no later than 11 p.m. and there is
no increased parking demand. Based upon the requirements in Title 20 of the NBMC,
the proposed use will not result in a detriment to the surrounding community.
Off-Street Parking Reduction
Based on current parking requirements, the Property's existing parking deficiency is twenty-
two (22) spaces. In accordance with Section 20.40.110 (Adjustments to Off-Street Parking
Requirements) of the NBMC, off-street parking requirements may be reduced with the approval
of a conditional use permit in compliance with Section 20.52.020 (Conditional Use Permits and
Minor Use Permits) as follows:
G. The Applicant has provided sufficient data, including a parking study if required by the
Director, to indicate that parking demand will be less than the required number of spaces
or that other parking is available (e.g., City parking lot located nearby, on-street parking
available, greater than normal walk in trade, mixed-use development);
1. Title 20 of the NBMC requires a parking rate of one (1) parking space per 30 to 50
square feet of net public area for food service, eating and drinking establishments. The
existing establishment contains 1,060 square feet of net public area, including the 597-
square-foot outdoor dining area. Using a rate of one (1) space per 50 square feet of net
public area, twenty-two (22) parking spaces are required. The Property provides no
parking spaces on-site. The continuation of historical parking reductions remains
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2019-022
Page 9 of 13
appropriate for the Project because the addition of alcohol service does not intensify the
use or increase parking requirements. In keeping with historical conditions, walk-up
traffic is common in this mixed-use area of the peninsula. The restaurant is small, with
only 597 square feet of dining area. On-street parking is available throughout this area
and a municipal lot is located a walking distance of 360 feet away. This has proven to
be sufficient to support the existing restaurant and nearby businesses.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
