INTRODUCTION
Project Setting
The subject property is located within the Koll Center Planned Community, Office Site B
(KCN Site B) between Von Karman Avenue and Birch Street. KCN Site B is located
generally north of MacArthur Boulevard, south of Birch Street, and east of Von Karman
Avenue. KCN Site B is developed with approximately 967,800 square feet of multi-story
office buildings with a shared parking pool.
The subject property is an approximately 2.3-acre, triangular shaped lot developed with
a 308,556-square-foot, 10-story office building. Access to the site is provided primarily via
gated driveways from Birch Street and Von Karman Avenue. There are additional
vehicular access points south of the site through gated driveways from MacArthur
Boulevard and Jamboree Road. The surrounding area is developed with existing offices.
Project Description
The request is for a conditional use permit to establish a 3,027-square-foot restaurant on
the ground floor of the existing office building. The restaurant would provide a full menu
with interior and exterior seating, food order area, and accessory bar for the sale and
consumption of beer and wine. A Type 41 (On-Sale Beer and Wine) Alcoholic Beverage
License is requested. The restaurant includes 839 square feet of interior net public area
with 22 seats and 991 square feet of exterior net public area with 32 seats. The restaurant
will primarily serve area employees and their visitors during the week and it will also serve
future residents during the week and weekends. The proposed hours of operation are 6
a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. The
conversion of the existing office space to the proposed restaurant results in an increased
parking demand of 21 spaces, which the applicant is requesting to be waived.
DISCUSSION
Analysis
General Plan
The General Plan designates the site as Mixed-Use Horizontal (MU-H2), which is
intended for an intermixing of uses in the Airport Area that may include regional
commercial office, multifamily residential, vertical mixed-use buildings, industrial, hotel
rooms, and ancillary neighborhood commercial uses such as restaurants. The full-service
restaurant will provide a commercial service to the offices as well as visitors passing
through the area on the weekend. The use will also provide a convenient dining option
for current and future residents of the new residential development constructed and
proposed in the neighborhood. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan
Designation.

Zoning Code
The subject property is zoned Koll Center Planned Community (PC-15) Office, Site B,
which is intended for Professional Offices and accessory commercial services such as
restaurants. A conditional use permit is required for the restaurant use within the Koll
Center Office areas.
Alcohol Service
The proposed project includes a request for a Type 41 (On -Sale Beer and Wine) Alcoholic
Beverage (ABC) License to provide additional menu options for customers and enhance
the economic viability of the business. The Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD)
has reviewed the proposed use and has no objection to the addition of the Type 41 ABC
license subject to appropriate conditions of approval (Attachment No. PC 2). Although the
NBPD memorandum indicates that the subject site is located in a reporting district (RD34)
with a higher crime rate than adjacent reporting districts, it concludes that the higher crime
rate is largely due to burglary or theft from vehicles due to the high concentration of office
complexes and high ratio of nonresidential to residential uses. Eating and drinking
establishments with incidental alcohol service are common in office areas and will serve
as a convenience to existing uses in the area as well as future residents in this changing
mixed-use neighborhood. There is one new residential development (Uptown Newport)
located approximately 600 feet south from the subject property and there is potential for
additional residential development in the area. The beer and wine service in conjunction
with the sit-down restaurant is not anticipated to become detrimental to the area due to
its location and no late operating hours. The proposed hours of operation would be
compatible with existing office and future residential uses. Operational conditions of
approval recommended by the NBPD relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages have
been incorporated into the draft resolution to ensure compatibility with the surrounding
uses and minimize alcohol-related impacts.
Off-Street Parking Requirements
KCN Site B has a shared parking supply of 3,045 parking spaces for the 967,800 square
feet of total office floor area, where a total of 3,051 spaces are required resulting in an
existing parking supply deficit of 6 spaces. All of the spaces are accessible through
several gated driveways from Von Karman Avenue, Birch Street, MacArthur Boulevard,
and Jamboree Road.
KCN Site B does not provide a parking standard for restaurants so the Zoning Code
standards apply. The Zoning Code classifies this use as a full-service restaurant (food
service, eating and drinking establishment) and parking is required at a rate of one parking
space per 30 to 50 square feet of net public area, as determined by the use permit. In this
case, a parking rate of one space per 50 square feet of net public area is appropriate for
the proposed use based on several physical design and operational characteristics:
6
Pour Vida Restaurant (PA2019-259)
Planning Commission, October 22, 2020
Page 5
• The location is within an office complex surrounded by office uses. Primary
customers will be office employees;
• There will be approximately 5 employees at any given time;
• The accessory bar will only have 14 seats;
• The restaurant has limited seating with 22 seats in the 839-square-foot interior
dining area and 32 seats in the 991-square-foot exterior area;
• The outdoor area is existing common exterior seating area for the office building;
• There are no late hours, no live entertainment or dancing;
• The shared parking pool for KCN Site B is via gated entries and paid tickets; and
• Employees and Uptown Newport residents can walk to the restaurant.
The net public area used to determine required parking is the 839 square feet interior net
public area and 781 square feet exterior dining patio (991 sq. ft. – 210 sq. ft.) for a total
of 1,620 square feet. The Zoning Code allows for 25 percent of outdoor dining to not be
counted towards parking requirements. Based on the Zoning Code parking ratio of 1
space per 50 square feet of net public area (1,620/50) 33 parking spaces are required.
The existing office parking pool currently has a surplus of 12 parking spaces, so the net
required spaces for the restaurant is 21 spaces, necessitating a parking waiver in
accordance with Section 20.40.110 (Adjustments to Off-Street Parking Requirements) of
the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC).
Off-Street Parking Waiver
NBMC Sections 20.40.110(B) and 21.40.110(A) allow off-street parking requirements to
be reduced with the approval of a conditional use permit, respectively, when the applicant
has provided sufficient data to indicate that parking demand will be less than the required
number of spaces and a parking management plan is prepared in compliance with NBMC
Section 20.40.110(C) and 21.40.110(B). In this case, the applicant provided “5000 Birch
Street Pour Vida Restaurant Parking Analysis” dated September 2, 2020 (Attachment No.
PC 3). The study was prepared by a qualified professional, a traffic engineer, from LSA,
Associates Inc.
The analysis demonstrates that due to the locational characteristics, access to the
restaurant is provided primarily via walking during peak weekday lunch hours. The
restaurant will function primarily as an ancillary use to the office building and surrounding
offices with primary customers being the employees of these offices. Therefore, during
the peak weekday lunch hour, the majority of the customers will already be on-site and
would not generate additional parking demand. The City’s parking rate does not account
for this type of accessibility and the analysis is required to demonstrate the walkability.
Additionally, the offices within KCN Site B and the adjacent residences at Uptown
Newport have limited access to food uses within walking distance , which requires
employees or residents to drive to other destinations to eat. Providing food service within
the same office complex and adjacent uses will actually service to reduce vehicle trips
7
Pour Vida Restaurant (PA2019-259)
Planning Commission, October 22, 2020
Page 6
and the need for additional parking. Based on this, the parking study concludes that a
parking deficit will not occur on site with the proposed restaurant added to the o ffice
complex. Evening and weekend parking should not be an issue if patrons drive to the site
because office uses typically only operate at reduced levels so plenty of parking will be
available in the parking pool.
To prove the walkability, the analysis provides pedestrian surveys of similar restaurant
plaza within Jamboree Promenade (located at southwest corner of Jamboree Road and
Dupont in Irvine) that is in close proximity to other office buildings. The survey observed
231 pedestrians during the 3-hour weekday lunch period and 56 pedestrians during
dinner time hours, proving that based on the proximity of the surrounding office uses to
the Jamboree Promenade, customers chose to walk and did not need to use (or park) a
vehicle. This is evident by the fact that there is a parking surplus currently experienced at
Jamboree Promenade.
The analysis and conclusions of the study were reviewed and accepted by the City Traffic
Engineer.
Given the findings of the study that there is a lesser demand than NBMC requirement,
there is no benefit or need for a parking management plan for this project. Condition of
Approval No. 6 is included in the draft resolution to require a parking management plan if
there is an identifiable parking conflict attributable to the project in the future.
Conditional Use Permit Finding
Pursuant to Section 20.52.020.F (Findings and Decision) of the Newport Beach Municipal
Code, the Planning Commission must make the following findings in order to approve a
conditional use permit:
1. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan;
2. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other
applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code;
3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible
with the allowed uses in the vicinity;
4. 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; and
5. 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.
8
Pour Vida Restaurant (PA2019-259)
Planning Commission, October 22, 2020
Page 7
Staff believes sufficient facts exist in support of the conditional use permit and they are
set forth in the draft resolution for the project approval (Attachment No. PC 1). As
previously discussed in the General Plan and Zoning Code subsections of this report, the
proposed restaurant use is consistent with the land use designations for the project site.
The project has been reviewed and conditioned to help ensure 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 beverag es will ensure
compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol-related impacts.
The applicant has provided a parking demand analysis to substantiate waiving the
increased parking demand of 21 spaces associated with the conversion of the existing
office uses. The analysis, discussed in more detail in the Off-Street Parking and Waiver
section above, concludes that the existing shared office parking is sufficient for the new
restaurant due to the location of the restaurant within the office complex and the peak
demand will occur at a time when the restaurant will primarily serve the employees that
are already on-site or within walking distance. Condition of Approval No. 6 is included in
the draft resolution to address any unforeseen parking-related impacts.
The building is physically suitable to accommodate the use based upon staff’s evaluation
of the plans. The proposed patio is located in existing common open spaces and does
not eliminate parking or pedestrian areas. The location and surroundings suggest the use
would be compatible considering the possibility of residential use on the abutting property.
The restaurant will provide a service to employees of the surrounding businesses and
neighborhood reducing vehicle trips. Application and implementation of the conditions of
approval will reduce and avoid potential conflicts with the surrounding uses. The operator
will be 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.
Alternatives
1. The Planning Commission may require changes to the project to alleviate any
concerns related to the design or the ability to make the required findings. If the
changes are substantial, the item should be continued to a future meeting to allow
the applicant to make the necessary adjustments and to allow staff to prepare a
revised resolution incorporating new findings and/or conditions.
2. If the Planning Commission believes that there are insufficient facts to support the
findings for approval, the Planning Commission may deny the application and provide
facts in support of denial to be included in a resolution for denial.

Environmental Review
The project qualifies for a Class 1 (Existing Facilities) categorical exemption, per Section
15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This exemption allows for the
operation, repair, maintenance, and minor alteration of existing buildings. The project
primarily involves interior tenant improvements to convert office space into restaurant
space within an existing office building. Minor exterior alternations involve the installation
of perimeter barriers around the outdoor dining area within an existing patio.
Public Notice
Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all owners of property
within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights -of-way and
waterways) including the applicant and posted on the subject property at least 10 days
before the scheduled meeting, consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code.
Additionally, the item appeared on the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City
Hall and on the City website.

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 primarily involves interior tenant improvements to convert office space into
restaurant space within an existing office building. Minor exterior alternations involve the
installation of perimeter barriers around the outdoor dining area within an existing patio.
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 34 (RD 34). The Part One Crimes
are the eight most serious crimes defined by the FBI Uniform Crime Report –
homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, auto theft,
and arson. The crime rate in RD 34 was 78 crimes reported in 2019, which is
higher than adjacent reporting districts RD 31, RD 36, and RD 33 and the citywide
average. The higher crime rate is largely due to burglary or theft from vehicles
due to the high concentration of office complexes and the high ratio of
nonresidential to residential uses. The adjacent reporting districts are
predominantly residential uses. The findings can be made despite higher
concentrations of crimes and the area was designed to accommodate restaurants
in support of the office complex. The service of alcoholic beverages would
14
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-037
Page 3 of 16
01-25-19
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
and based on the location, operational characteristics, and closing hour of 11: 00
p.m., has no objection to the addition of the Type 41 alcoholic beverage license
subject to appropriate conditions of approval.
ii. The numbers of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting
district and in adjacent reporting districts.
1. In RD 34, seventeen (17) percent of the arrests were for public intoxication, DUI,
or liquor law violations. In comparison, the figure for neighboring RD 33 is
nineteen (19) percent, RD 36 is thirty (30) percent and RD 31 is twelve (12)
percent. 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. Although the Property is located within a planned community for predominantly
office uses, the General Plan land use designation is MU_H2 (Mixed Use
Horizontal), which allows the horizontal intermixing of uses that may include
office, multi-family residential and vertical mixed-use buildings. There is one (1)
new residential development (Uptown Newport) located approximately 600 feet
south from the Property and there is potential for additional residential
development in the area. The Project will serve as a convenience to residents
seeking dining options in closer proximity to their residences. The Type 41 ABC
License with an eating and drinking establishment is not anticipated to
significantly impact these adjacent land uses.
2. There are no parks, churches, schools, day cares or places of recreation within
approximately 1,000 feet of the Project. The Project is surrounded by other
commercial and office uses.
3. Eating and drinking establishments with incidental alcohol service are common
in office areas and will serve as a convenience to future residents in this changing
mixed-use neighborhood. The proposed Type 41 ABC License in conjunction
with a sit-down restaurant is not anticipated to become detrimental to the area
due to its location and limited hours of operation . 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.
15
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-037
Page 4 of 16
01-25-19
iv. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off -site or
on-site consumption.
1. The office area was designed to accommodate accessory restaurants that are
lightly populated throughout. The closest food service establishment is the
Parkstone Restaurant with a Type 47 (On-sale General) ABC License located
approximately 650 feet away at 5180 Birch Street. The establishment is for a sit-
down restaurant with no late hours. The next closest establishment is the Classic
Q Restaurant and Bar with a Type 47 (On-Sale General) ABC License located
approximately 1,600 feet away at 4251 MacArthur Boulevard. Approximately 500
feet away are various fast food restaurants on Jamboree Road that do not have
ABC licenses.
2. The census tract has an approximate population of 5,139 residents with 95 active
retail licenses. It should be noted this census tract also includes portions of Irvine,
Costa Mesa, and Santa Ana. Only 23 of the 95 active retai l licenses are in the
City of Newport Beach. The per capita ratio of tract 0626.1 is one (1) license for
every 54 residents. Per Section §23958.4 of the Business and Professions Code,
we must compare this per capita ratio to Orange County’s on-sale per capita ratio
of one (1) license for every 446 residents. Since the area’s ratio exceeds the ratio
of retail licenses to population in the county, the area is deemed to have an undue
concentration of alcohol licenses. 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 a ny current objectionable
conditions.
1. No objectionable conditions are presently occurring at the Property.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 General Plan designates the site as MU-H2 (Mixed-Use Horizontal), which is
intended for an intermixing of uses in the Airport Area that may include regional
commercial office, multifamily residential, vertical mixed-use buildings, industrial, hotel
rooms, and ancillary neighborhood commercial uses such as restaurants. The full-
service restaurant will provide a commercial service to the offices as well as visitors
passing through the area on the weekend. The use will also provide a convenient dining
option for current and future residents of the new residential development constructed
and proposed in the neighborhood.
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 PC-15 (Koll Center Planned Community Office Site B) Zoning District applies to
Professional and Business Offices, and allows for accessory commercial services such
as KCN Site B. A conditional use permit is required for the restaurant use within the Koll
Center Office areas.
2. KCN Site B relies on Title 20 (Zoning Code) of the NBMC for restaurant off-street parking
requirements. Title 20 (Zoning Code) classifies this use as a full-service restaurant (food
service, eating and drinking establishment) and parking is required at a rate of one (1)
parking space per 30 to 50 square feet of net public area, as determined by the use
permit. In this case, a parking rate of one space per 50 square feet of net public area is
appropriate for the proposed use based on several design and operational
characteristics, including: the location is within an office complex surrounded by office
uses, primary customers will be office employees; there will be only five (5) employees
at any given time; there is an accessory bar area with 14 seats; there are only 22 seats
in the 839-square-foot interior dining area and only 32 seats in 991-square-foot exterior
area; the outdoor dining area is part of a larger existing exterior common seating area
for the office building tenants and visitors; there is no late hours, no live entertainment
or dancing; the shared parking pool for KCN Site B is via gated entries and paid tickets;
and employees and Uptown Newport residents can walk to the restaurant.
17
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-037
Page 6 of 16
01-25-19
3. KCN Site B currently provides a parking supply of 3,045 spaces, where a total of 3,051
spaces is currently required based upon the existing office floor area (6-space deficit).
Title 20 (Zoning Code) requires parking for restaurants based on a calculation of net
public area. The net public area included for the restaurant includes 839 square feet
interior net public area and 781 square feet exterior dining patio (991 sq. ft. – 210 sq.
ft.) for a total of 1,620 square feet; and allows for 25 percent of outdoor dining to not be
counted towards parking requirements. Based on Title 20 (Zoning Code) the parking
ratio of one (1) space per 50 square feet of net public area (1,620/50), 33 parking spaces
are required. The existing office provides a credit of 12 parking spaces, so the net
required spaces for Pour Vida restaurant is 21 spaces, necessitating a parking waiver
in accordance with Section 20.40.110 (Adjustments to Off-Street Parking Requirements)
of the NBMC.
4. As discussed in the facts in Support of Finding G, a detailed parking analysis has been
provided by LSA Associates Inc. concluding that during peak office hours of the KCN
Site B, the Project will primarily serve customers in the same office building and locations
within walking distance (i.e., 0.5 mile-radius) to the restaurant and will not generate
additional parking demand. Currently, with few options for food use within walking
distance, the Project will enable employees to remain on site and not generate new
parking demand. When there is reduced office use activities occurring during d innertime
and weekend hours, a significant surplus of parking spaces is available on site to support
non-office employee customers.
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 surrounding office area is mostly vacant in the
evenings. The closest residential use is Uptown Newport which is more than 500 feet
away and is buffered by the subject 10-story office building and existing Jazz Conductor
building between the proposed outdoor dining. The outdoor dining patio closing hour of
11:00 p.m. will minimize noise impacts to any potential future residential use in area.
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 Project will provide an additional service to the office complexes within the
neighborhood. The Project includes conditions of approval to ensure that the potential
for conflicts is minimized to the greatest extent possible.
18
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-037

2. The Property and surrounding properties on the block and within the vicinity are
developed with offices and supporting commercial uses. The closest residential use is
more than 500 feet south behind a parking structure at Uptown Newport. There is
potential for additional residential uses within the area; however, as conditioned, the
allowed hours of operation will be Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and
Saturday through Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., which will minimize late night
disturbances in the area.
3. The food service, eating and drinking establishment has appropriate trash areas within
the dining areas. There is a larger trash enclosure behind the existing office building that
will contain a dumpster that is dedicated to the restaurant use.
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 req uired to maintain the
Property in substantial conformance with the approved floor plan in conjunction with a
Type 41 (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 office space is accessible from Birch Street and Von Karman Avenue which
provides convenient access for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists.
2. There is a sidewalk around the perimeter of the existing office building and at the entry
that provides a path for pedestrians. Ample sidewalks are provided adjacent to the
streets and parking lots of KCN Site B.
3. The Property is located within an existing office building and the tenant space will be
improved for an eating and drinking establishment. All tenant improvements must comply
with Title 20 of the NBMC and all Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes for permits to be
issued.
4. The existing office complex provides adequate access for emergency and utility vehicles
and services.
Finding:
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
19
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-037
Page 8 of 16
01-25-19
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 41 (On Sale Beer and Wine) ABC License provides a service to
the surrounding offices and neighborhood. There are few walkable restaurants provided
to the office areas and the new residential units at Uptown Newport. The Project will
support the surrounding neighborhood as providing a needed service to the area.
3. The eating and drinking establishment is not allowed to operate as a bar, tavern, cocktail
lounge, or nightclub as defined by the NBMC. The proposed use includes limited hours
and closes no later than 11:00 p.m.
Off-Street Parking Reduction
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:
Finding:
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);
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. Section 20.40.110(B) of the NBMC allow off-street parking requirements to be reduced
with the approval of a conditional use permit. When an applicant has provided sufficient
data to indicate that parking demand will be less than the required number of spaces
and a parking management plan is prepared in compliance with NBMC Section
20.40.110(C). In this case, the Applicant provided “5000 Birch Street Pour Vida
Restaurant Parking Analysis” dated September 2, 2020. The study was prepared by a
qualified professional, a traffic engineer, from LSA, Associates Inc.
20
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-037
Page 9 of 16
01-25-19
2. The parking analysis demonstrates the potential parking demand for Pour Vida and the
existing offices taking into account the peak parking demand during different hours of
the day for the two (2) land uses that would share the same parking supply. The peak
parking demand of the existing office complex and the Project would occur during the
weekday’s mid-day, with a demand of 3,065 parking spaces that leaves a deficit of 20
parking spaces. The analysis also shows that weekday mornings and evenings and
weekends show significant surplus parking. However, it is important to note that both
the City’s parking requirement and the shared parking analysis assume the restaurant
is operating as a primary standalone location with little interaction with the office
employee customers already parking on site or nearby. The parking analysis concludes
that in reality, during this peak time weekday times, the restaurant will function primarily
as an ancillary use to the office complex and surrounding offices with primary customers
being the employees of these offices. Restaurant customers are anticipated to already
be on site and would not actually generate additional trips or parking demand for the
proposed restaurant. The parking study finds that employees of the office complex and
adjacent office buildings and residents of Uptown Newport currently have limited access
to food uses within walking distance (approximately 0.5 miles), which requires
employees or residents to drive to other destinations to eat. Providing food service within
the same office complex and adjacent to their uses will actually service to reduce vehicle
trips and the need for additional parking. Based on this, the parking study concludes that
a parking deficit will not occur on site with the proposed restaurant added to the office
complex.
3. The walkability was also sufficiently demonstrated in the parking analysis provided by
LSA Associates Inc. To prove the walkability, the analysis provides pedestrian surveys
of a similar restaurant plaza within Jamboree Promenade (located at southwest corner
of Jamboree Road and Dupont in Irvine) that is in close proximity to other office
buildings. The survey observed 231 pedestrians during the three-hour weekday lunch
period and 56 pedestrians during dinner time hours, proving that based on the proximity
of the surrounding office uses to the Jamboree Promenade, customers chose to walk
and did not need to use (or park) a vehicle. This is evident by the fact that there is a
parking surplus currently experienced at Jamboree Promenade.
4. The analysis and conclusions of the study were reviewed and accepted by the City
Traffic Engineer.

City of Newport Beach

Newport Beach, CA 92660
Subject: 5000 Birch Street (Pour Vida Restaurant) Parking Analysis—Revised
Dear Ms. Whelan:
A restaurant (Pour Vida) is proposed (project) to operate within an existing 308,556-square-foot (sf)
office building at 5000 Birch Street in Newport Beach. The project is within Site B of the Koll Center
Newport (KCN) site. As shown on Figure 1 (all figures provided in Attachment A), Site B includes a
total of 967,803 sf of office use generally north of MacArthur Boulevard, south of Birch Street, and
east of Von Karman Avenue. Access to the project site is provided primarily via gated driveways on
Birch Street and Von Karman Avenue. Access to the southern portion of KCN Site B is also provided
via gated driveways on MacArthur Boulevard and Jamboree Road.
The purpose of the parking analysis is to determine whether adequate parking spaces would be
provided within KCN Site B to accommodate the anticipated parking demand for the proposed Pour
Vida restaurant.
This parking analysis has been prepared based on review of the Minor Use Permit Application
(December 12 and 19, 2019), the response email from the City of Newport Beach (City) (December
20, 2019), a City incomplete letter (January 9, 2020), the Planned Community Development
Standards for Koll Center Newport (PC 15), and the City’s Off-Street Parking Requirements (Zoning
Code Section 20.40.040).
PROPOSED PROJECT
The proposed Pour Vida restaurant will replace approximately 3,027 gross sf of vacant office use on
the first floor of the 10-story office building. For purposes of parking estimation, the restaurant will
include 1,620 sf of net public area (npa) (including outdoor patio space).
Zoning Code Section 20-40-040 states that food service with/without alcohol, with/without late
hours requires 1 parking space per 30–50 square feet of npa, including outdoor dining areas
exceeding 25 percent of the interior npa or 1,000 sf, whichever is less. The following includes the
parking calculation for the proposed restaurant.
x Total net public interior space is 839 square feet
39
9/2/20 «\\vcorp12\projects\JHI2001\Parking Study4.docx» 2
x Total outdoor dining exceeding 25 percent of the interior npa is 781 sf [991 sf of outdoor patio –
210 sf (839 sf x 0.25 = 210) = 781]
x 839 sf + 781 sf = 1,620 sf / 50 = 33 parking spaces required
The restaurant’s business hours will be 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and
9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. As the parking for KCN Site B is currently gated,
customer parking tickets will be validated by the restaurant.
Pour Vida operates a restaurant in Anaheim’s Center Street Promenade in downtown Anaheim,
across from Anaheim City Hall. The old location was 185 West Center Street Promenade. The
restaurant is currently moving to a new location at 215 West Center Street Promenade (including
1,486 sf with 300 sf patio space).
PARKING ANALYSIS
City Parking Requirements
Per PC 15, parking spaces are provided for the entirety of Site B as determined using the calculation
below. The net floor area of Site B is a total of 967,803 sf.
x For the first 125,000 sf, parking shall be provided at 1 space per 250 sf of net floor area
(125,000/250 = 500 spaces).
x For the next 300,000 sf, parking shall be provided at 1 space per 300 sf of net floor area
(300,000/300 = 1,000 spaces).
x For any additional floor area, parking shall be provided at 1 space per 350 sf of net floor area
(542,803/350 = 1,551 spaces).
Based on these calculations, a total parking supply of 3,051 spaces is required for KCN Site B. As
shown on Figure 1, a total parking supply of 3,045 spaces is provided. An inventory of the total
parking supply was conducted by Counts Unlimited, Inc. All parking spaces within Site B are common
(shared) with employees and visitors of Site B, with the exception of the gated parking structure
(291 spaces) adjacent to the 5000 Birch Street building.
As described above, the City’s Zoning Code (Section 20.40.040) was referenced to determine the
parking required for the proposed restaurant. The parking requirement for this type of restaurant is
within a range of 1 space per 30 to 50 sf of npa pursuant to the use permit. The rate chosen within
that range is based upon several considerations including physical design characteristics, operational
characteristics, and the location details. Based on the City’s letter dated January 9, 2020, City staff
determined that a parking rate of 1 space per 50 sf of net public area should be used based on the
characteristics and location of the proposed restaurant. Based on the proposed square footages, the
new restaurant would require 33 parking spaces (1,620 sf npa/50 = 32.4 spaces). As the current use
is office space, the existing 3,027 sf would require 12 parking spaces (3,027 sf/250 = 12 spaces).
Therefore, the proposed restaurant would require 21 net new parking spaces.

Shared Parking
The proposed project includes the conversion of existing office space to restaurant use within a
10-story office building. The City’s parking requirements do not take into account the peak parking
demand during different hours of the day for different land uses that share the same parking supply.
As such, a shared-parking analysis has been performed to determine the appropriate number of
parking spaces for this project, including these time-of-day factors.
The shared-parking analysis is consistent with the methodology presented in the Urban Land
Institute (ULI) Shared Parking manual (2nd Edition). This was conducted to determine whether the
parking supply within KCN Site B would accommodate the anticipated parking demand for Pour Vida
restaurant during peak times of the day.
Table A (Attachment B) shows the anticipated variation in parking demand by time of day generated
by the KCN office uses and the proposed restaurant project. This table includes separate utilization
percentages for weekdays and weekends. The office utilization is referenced from time-of-day
factors provided in the ULI Shared Parking manual. The restaurant utilization is based on sales data
provided by Pour Vida at its Anaheim facility, which was open between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. The
time-of-day factors are based on the average number of tickets (receipts/sales) on a weekday
(Monday–Friday) and on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). The sales information used for the
parking utilization is provided as Attachment C.
As shown in the table, the peak shared-parking demand of the site is 3,065 spaces at 11:00 a.m. on a
weekday. This would represent a parking deficit of 20 spaces compared to the overall supply of
3,045 spaces. A deficit of 15 spaces would occur at 11:00 a.m. on a weekend. The deficit in parking is
based on the fact that the 3,051 office spaces are 100 percent occupied at 11:00 a.m. on both
weekdays and weekends.
It should be noted that the sales information for the Anaheim site does not include breakfast (prior
to 9:00 a.m.) on a weekday. However, based on the parking analysis, there is a parking surplus of
2,953, 2,130, and 757 spaces at 6:00 a.m., 7:00 a.m., and 8:00 a.m., respectively. Therefore, the
peak restaurant parking demand of 21 spaces would be accommodated during these early morning
hours.
It should also be noted that the ULI utilization rates for office use on a weekend (Saturday) show
100 percent at 11:00 a.m. (i.e., all 3,051 spaces filled). This is not representative of typical conditions
at 5000 Birch Street and KCN Site B. The following table shows the entry gate data provided by the
facility manager for Saturday, February 29–Sunday, March 8, 2020. As shown in the table, the
number of weekend vehicles entering Site B is significantly less than vehicles entering the gates
during weekdays.

Ancillary Use and Walkability
The proposed restaurant will function as an ancillary use to the 5000 Birch Street office building and
the surrounding uses. Pour Vida’s primary customers will be the employees who work within the
5000 Birch Street office building (308,556 sf) and employees of KCN Site B and beyond. Based on the
Planned Community Development Standards, there is a total of 2,378,962 sf of commercial use
within all of Koll Center Newport. The customers are already on site and would not generate
additional trips or parking demand for the proposed restaurant. This is especially true during the
weekday lunch hour, when office employees go downstairs or walk across the parking lot to have
lunch. The City’s parking rate does not account for this interaction. Figure 2 illustrates the
walkability (0.5-mile radius) for customers to/from the proposed restaurant.
In addition, employees within Site B and adjacent office buildings and residents of Uptown Newport
currently have limited access to food uses within walking distance (approximately 0.5 mile). This
requires employees or residents to drive to other destinations to eat. Providing food service within
the same office building and adjacent to these other uses will reduce vehicle trips and the need for
additional parking spaces.
As an example of the walkability of surrounding land uses that patronize nearby restaurant uses,
pedestrian counts were surveyed at an existing retail/restaurant plaza within close proximity of
commercial uses. The Jamboree Promenade plaza is on the southwest corner of Jamboree
Road/Dupont in Irvine (less than 0.5 mile from the 5000 Birch Street site). A new office building
(Boardwalk, at 18691 Jamboree Road) including 545,385 sf of office use is directly across the street
(although not 100-percent leased and occupied).
As shown on Figure 3, based on the proximity of the surrounding land uses to Jamboree Promenade,
customers walk and do not need to use (or park) a vehicle. This is evident by the fact that there is a
parking surplus currently experienced at Jamboree Promenade.
To demonstrate this, pedestrian surveys were conducted by National Data & Surveying Services on
two weekdays (January 30, 2019 and February 7, 2019) at the pedestrian connections to the
Jamboree Promenade plaza via Teller Avenue (Entry 1), Dupont Drive (Entry 2), and Jamboree Road
(Entry 3). The total number of pedestrians and their direction of travel (to/from Jamboree
42
9/2/20 «\\vcorp12\projects\JHI2001\Parking Study4.docx» 5
Promenade) were identified during the lunch period (between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.) and the
dinner period (between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.).
As shown in Table B (Attachment B), there is a total of 231 pedestrians during the 3-hour lunchtime
(136 inbound and 95 outbound) and 56 pedestrians during the 3-hour dinnertime (30 inbound and
26 outbound). This data shows that there is significant interaction between surrounding land uses
and restaurant use without the need to park a vehicle.
CONCLUSION
During peak office hours of KCN Site B, the proposed Pour Vida restaurant will primarily serve
customers in the same office building and locations within walking distance (i.e., 0.5-mile radius) to
the restaurant. Weekday lunchtime is the highest parking demand, as dinnertime and the weekend
will have adequate parking spaces available on site.
Data provided in this parking analysis shows that the parking demand for the office and restaurant
use would result in a deficit of only 20 spaces within the 3,045 spaces provided on site (i.e., less than
0.7 percent of the total parking supply). However, this assumes that the restaurant is primarily a
standalone location with little interaction with the office employee customers already parked on
site. With few options for food use within walking distance today, the proposed restaurant will
enable employees to remain on site and not generate new parking demand.
Based on this, it is not expected that a parking deficit will occur on site with the proposed Pour Vida
restaurant added to the office building.
I trust you will find this information useful in your planning efforts. If you have any questions, please

The following chart represents the number of sales tickets we receive within each hour during
our regular business week. As you can see, on most days our peak times are right between 11
AM – 1 Pm and again from 6 PM – 8 PM. The only other day with another relative spike would
be Sunday around 3 PM; Sunday is the only day that we offer Happy Hour all day.

Attachments:Comments on Pour Vida Restaurant application.pdf
[EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the
content is safe.
Please find attached comments to be included in the public record on the application for a
restaurant to be added within Koll Center Newport with a request for a waiver of 21 parking spaces.
The justification of the waiver of 21 parking spaces does not take into account existing issues and the
way that current businesses use Koll Center (including patronizing 21Carrots restaurant on
MacArthur).
This letter establishes that there are existing parking issues within Koll Center Newport and in close
proximity to the proposed location of the restaurant.
Decisions need to be made in context to the existing businesses and the potential future
developments which will generate parking issues at Koll
Center Newport.
Thank you.

Re: Pour Vida Restaurant -Conditional Use Permit and Request for waive of 21 parking spaces
Dear Commissioners:
groundlevel parking spaces within Koll Center Newport. As you are aware, Koll Center Newport is aplanned
communis development. Each building owner and each Condo Owner was required to agree to the
erms o, the CCgiR's for Koll Center Newport in order to Cose escrow. Instead of attaching a159-page

reasons why parking spaces need to be counted and allocated for
Restaurant businesses within Koll Center Newport:
These are three basic

mretail and restaurant space needs to comply with existing prescribed
otherwise parking spaces
CC&R's)
3.It IS good planning and equitable to require the applicant to be allocated parking spaces for
Pour Vida Restaurant, just like all other commercial businesses in Koll Center Newport If the
restaurant is allocated parking spaces, then CBRE and Koll Center Newport will not be able to
borrow spaces from other Newport building owners' allocations when future parking issues
arise. The attached letter shows that although CBRE on behalf of Koll Center, has been willing to
increase our parking card requests, they may revoke the parking cards if parking issues arise in
the area. (See Attached Letter and Attached Email exemplifying existing parking issues prior
to new construction and/or addition of retail/restaurant which is more intensive)
Planning Commission - October 22, 2020

For the record,»rl,i°r "O' a l l o c a t e dpark,ng spaces. At almost full occupancy (Pre-Covid) we had 217 parking cards plus some businesseswere leasing covered parking from John Hancock,
saying that our allocation is only 197 spaces based
usable square feet.
We needed over 220 parking spaces. Koll Center is
upon their formula of 3.16 parking spaces per 1,000
'* or the CCSrP's line up with Koll Center
ewport sparking allocation. See the attached excerpts from the CC&R's, page 14 which shows that the
Assumed Parking Criteria is one (1) space per 225 square feet of net building
If we applied Koll's number for usable square footage of 62,424 square feet for 4340 Von
Karman and divided by 225 square feet, there would be 277 spaces allocated to 4340 Von
Karman. Ibelieve we need to have at least 220 parking spaces that cannot be revoked and that
we are not charged for excess parking
in light that another applicant is applying to build aparking structure that eliminates 75 surface
parking spaces directly adjacent to 4340 Von Karman with no assurances of free access, it is not

area parking that is convenient to 4340 Von Karman, let alone
other building owners in Koll Center Newport. One should not borrow parking spaces by our
building and then waive parking allocations over by the subject property where the proposed
restaurant and future residential projects will be creating congestion.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of these points. Ispeak for anumber of business
owners. Because of Covidl9 and people working out of their home, there wasn't an
opportunity to garner signatures from other business owners in our building. We anticipate
that once the Covidl9 stigma is gone that our building will quickly go back to occupancy
business owners tend to come to work and will want to get back to normal.
Sincerely,

Hi Daniel, see responses in red.
How many parking spots total is the building allotted as of October 2020? (EX. 217 OR 220?). 197 spaces
How many usable S.F. do they "count" our building and what is their parking ratio allotment? (Ex 3155 x
68,783= 217 spaces) 3.16 x62,424 =197
Please confirm that VKCOA does not pay monthly rates for unreserved spaces to ABM but that individual
condo owners may pay if they are over the 3.155 xusable S.F. allotment and the building has no surplus
unreserved spaces. ABM issues parking passes to each tenant/owner based on information provided by
VKCOA, over allotted spaces approved by VKCOA are billed directly to tenant/owner and reported under
monthly revenue in your monthly statement.
Hope this helps.
