NOTICE OF PUBLIC
HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, November 16, 2017, at 3:30 p.m. or soon thereafter
as the matter shall be heard, a public hearing will be conducted in the Corona del Mar Conference Room
(Bay E-1st Floor) at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. The Zoning Administrator of the City of
Newport Beach will consider the following application:
The Crab Cooker Restaurant - A minor use permit and coastal development permit to allow the
replacement of a legal nonconforming building and the continued operation of an existing restaurant
(The Crab Cooker). The structure was involuntarily damaged beyond repair due to recent construction
on the abutting property. The replacement structure will maintain the same gross floor area, but will
include an outdoor dining patio as well as a small second floor office and storage area. No operational
changes (i.e., hours or alcohol license type) are requested for the restaurant.
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15302, of the State CEQA (California
Environmental Quality Act) Guidelines - Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction).
All interested parties may appear and present testimony in regard to this application. If you challenge
this project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you raised at the public hearing or in
written correspondence delivered to the City, at, or prior to, the public hearing. The project site is located
in the coastal zone and within the California Coastal Commission appeals jurisdiction; therefore, final
City action on the project is appealable to the California Coastal Commission after City appeal
procedures are exhausted. Administrative procedures for appeals are provided in the Newport Beach
Municipal Code Chapter 21.64 (Appeals and Calls for Review). No fee is required for appeals regarding
coastal development permits to the California Coastal Commission. The application may be continued to
a specific future meeting date, and if such an action occurs, additional public notice of the continuance
will not be provided. Prior to the public hearing, the agenda, staff report, and documents may be
reviewed at the Community Development Department Permit Center (Bay C-1st Floor), at 100 Civic
Center Drive, Newport Beach, California, CA 92660 or at the City of Newport Beach website at
www.newportbeachca.gov/zoningadministrator. Individuals not able to attend the meeting may contact
the Planning Division or access the City’s website after the meeting to review the action on this
application.
