Attn: Amelia Beltran

Orange, CA 92868
RE: 3049 East Coast Highway, Newport Beach, CA 92625

Dear Ms. Beltran:
The above referenced property is currently located within the Commercial Corridor
(CC)and designated as Corridor Commercial (CC) within the Land Use Element
of the General Plan. The property is located within a Planned Unit Development
or an overlay district.
Permitted Uses
The Zoning Code categorizes a pharmacy use as retail sales, which is permitted
within the CC Zoning designation (see attached Zoning table). A 24-hour retail use
is permitted. However, if there is alcohol sales, a use permit may be required. A
“Minute Clinic,” if accessory to a pharmacy use, may be permitted depending on
the nature of the use and its operational characteristics. A separate inquiry with
more information on the “Minute Clinic” use is required for Zoning Clearance.
Liquor sales and beer and wine sales (off-sale) are permitted with an approved
minor use permit. Accessory sales (see definition below), is permitted by right.
“Alcohol sales, off-sale” is defined as an establishment that sells, serves, or gives
away alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises and that is applying
for or has obtained an ABC License Type 20 (off-sale beer and wine—package
store) or License Type 21 (off-sale general—package store). The establishment
shall include any immediately adjacent area that is owned, leased, rented, or
PA2019-269
controlled by the licensee. Does not include an establishment that sells alcoholic
beverages as an accessory line of merchandise.
“Alcohol sales, off-sale, accessory only” is defined as an establishment that has all
of the following characteristics:
1. Alcoholic beverages will be or are sold, served, or given away for
consumption off the premises where sold, served, or given away;
2. The establishment is applying for or has obtained an ABC License Type 20
(off-sale beer and wine—package store) or License Type 21 (off-sale
general—package store); and
3. The sale of alcoholic beverages is accessory to the retail sale of food
products and the display area for alcoholic beverages does not exceed thirty
(30) percent of the net floor area of the use. Illustrative examples include
convenience markets, drug stores, grocery stores, and supermarkets, but
do not include convenience markets.
Lot Requirements
The lot area of the subject property is 21,504 square feet, where the minimum
required lot area of a newly created lot in CC is 5,000 square feet. The lot frontage
and lot width is approximately 115 feet (see below), where the minimum lot width
for a newly created lot in CC is 25 feet.
PA2019-269
There are no required setbacks for the lot (see attached development standards).
The maximum height for a flat roof is 32 feet, and the maximum height for a sloping
roof is 37 feet. For landscaping standards, see the requirements attached (ZC
Section 20.36).
The parking requirement for a retail use is one space per 250 square feet of gross
floor area. At the time the building permits were finaled, the building and parking
requirements were in substantial conformance with the development standards of
the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code. If the subject property does not comply
with the current regulations, it is considered to be nonconforming and is subject to
Chapter 20.38 (Nonconforming Uses and Structures) of the Newport Beach
Municipal Code.
The subject property does not have any active complaints on record. For
information regarding code violations, please contact the Code Enforcement
Division at (949) 644-3215 and the Building Division at (949) 644-3200. Please
contact the Building Division to obtain copies of Certificates of Occupancy. For
