The attached ordinance was introduced and considered at the March 9, 2021, City Council meeting. RECOMMENDATION: a) Find this action proposed herein is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in accordance with Section 21065 of the California Public Resources Code and Sections 15060 (c)(2), 15060 (c)(3), and 15378 of the California Code of Regulations Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 ("CEQA Guidelines"). The proposed action is also exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; and b) Conduct second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 2021-6, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Adopting Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2020- 005 to Amend Section 20.24.020 (Industrial Zoning Land Uses and Permit Requirements), 20.40.040 (Off -Street Parking Spaces Required), 20.48.090 (Eating and Drinking Establishments), and 20.70.020 (Definitions of Specialized Terms and Phrases) of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code and Other Related Provisions to Allow for Wine Tasting Rooms Within the Industrial Zoning District (IG) (PA2020-042). DISCUSSION: The ordinance would amend the Newport Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC") and establish "Wine Tasting Rooms" as a new subset of eating and drinking establishments within the Zoning Code; as well as allow them to operate within the IG zone, subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. On March 9, 2021, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the following changes to Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC): 3-1 Ordinance No. 2021-6: Zoning Code Amendment to Allow the Operation of Wine Tasting Rooms Within the Industrial Zoning (IG) District (PA2020-042) March 23, 2021 Page 2 Section 20.24.020 (Industrial Zoning District Land Uses and Permit Requirements) would be amended to require a conditional use permit for the operation of a wine tasting room in the IG zone and would limit the hours of operations in the IG to Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. • Section 20.40.040 (Off -Street Parking Spaces Required) would be amended to add a parking requirement for wine tasting rooms. The parking requirement is proposed as one space per each four persons based on allowed occupancy load or as required by the conditional use permit. This parking requirement is consistent with the current code requirements for bars, lounges and nightclubs. Section 20.48.090 (Eating and Drinking Establishments) would be amended to provide specific requirements for the wine tasting rooms. This includes a 500 -foot separation requirement from schools, as measured from the school property line to the building in which the wine tasting room is located, a 500 -foot separation between properties that have wine tasting rooms, a prohibition on live entertainment, and a prohibition on any food preparation equipment that would require a mechanical ventilation system. Section 20.70.020 (Definitions of Specialized Terms and Phrases) would be amended to include the definition of wine tasting rooms within the definitions of an eating and drinking establishment. After considering all evidence, including the Planning Commission's review and public comments, the City Council voted to introduce Ordinance No. 2021-6. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact related to this item. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The Code Amendment is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in accordance with Section 21065 of the California Public Resources Code and Sections 15060 (c)(2), 15060 (c)(3), and 15378 of the California Code of Regulations Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 ("CEQA Guidelines"). The proposed action is also exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. While this amendment would allow a new category of use in an existing zoning district, it does not authorize new development that would directly result in physical change to the environment. There is no evidence that alcoholic beverage service in the IG zone would result in any different or new effects on the environment than were already assumed with the IG zone. 3-2 Ordinance No. 2021-6: Zoning Code Amendment to Allow the Operation of Wine Tasting Rooms Within the Industrial Zoning (IG) District (PA2020-042) March 23, 2021 Page 3 NOTICING: The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item.

A notice of time, place, and purpose of the public hearing was given in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and Chapter 20.62 (Public Hearings) of the NBMC. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the City Council at this public hearing; WHEREAS, the Zoning Code Amendment is consistent with the City of Newport Beach General Plan ("General Plan"). According to the General Plan, "[t]he IG designation is intended to provide for a wide range of moderate to low intensity industrial uses, such as light manufacturing and research and development, and limited ancillary commercial and office uses." Existing ancillary commercial uses allowed within the IG District under the City's zoning regulations include Eating and Drinking Establishments (Take -Out Service—Limited), Health and Fitness Facilities and Retail (including Alcohol Sales). The proposed Zoning Code Amendment would establish "wine tasting rooms" as 3-5 Ordinance No. 2021-6 Page 3 of 14 a defined use within the Eating and Drinking Establishment use category. Wine tasting rooms would complement and be consistent with the other limited ancillary commercial uses permitted within the IG District in that it provides additional amenities that support West Newport Mesa area residents and employees by providing a social gathering place for those who live and work in the neighborhood (General Plan Goal LU 2). Additional benefits from the proposed amendment include providing opportunities for the establishment of local businesses that generate sales tax and provide opportunities for employment which is consistent with General Plan Policy LU 2.4 (Economic Development); WHEREAS, the proposed limitations on wine tasting rooms will help ensure that potential nuisances are minimized and that the use would not operate as an eating and drinking establishment or wine bar; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Code Amendment requires the building in which a wine tasting room is located to be a minimum of 500 feet from the property line of any property that contains a preschool, elementary, middle, or high school. The purpose of this standard is to minimize the exposure of minors to an alcohol related use. An additional limitation requires wine tasting rooms to be located a minimum of 500 feet from the property line of another wine tasting room. This separation requirement is intended to prevent an overconcentration of wine tasting rooms within the IG District and ensure wine tasting rooms remain an accessory commercial use to the industrial uses within the zone. The imposition of these two separation requirements restricts opportunities to establish wine tasting rooms on certain properties within the IG District and is in the public's interest in that it protects the health, safety, and general welfare of the surrounding area.

Permit Requirements." to subsection "G. Permit Requirements.": F. Standards—Wine Tasting Rooms. In addition to the standards set forth in subsections (A) through (D), wine tasting rooms shall comply with the following standards: 1. The building in which the wine tasting room is located shall be a minimum of five hundred (500) feet from the property line of any property that contains a preschool, elementary, middle, or high school. 2. The property in which the wine tasting room is located shall be a minimum of five hundred (500) feet from the property line of any property that has a wine tasting room. 3. The wine tasting room shall operate under an ABC Type 2 (Winegrower) license only. 4. The wine tasting room shall not operate as a bona fide eating establishment, but may serve incidental foods such as bread, crackers, cheeses, or nuts. Any kitchen or food preparation area provided shall have no cooking equipment that requires a mechanical ventilation system to exhaust heat, steam, or grease vapor. 5. Limited private events may occur within the wine tasting room, provided the wine tasting room remains open to the public. 6. Live entertainment is prohibited. Section 4: Section 20.70.020 (Definitions of Specialized Terms and Phrases) of Chapter 20.70 (Definitions) of the NBMC is amended by adding the definition of "Wine Tasting Room" to the definition of "Eating and Drinking Establishments (Land Use)", to read as follows: 10. "Wine tasting room" means an establishment that operates pursuant to an ABC Type 2 (Winegrower) license to sell wine that is produced by said establishment for on- and off-site consumption. The sale of other types of alcohol, such as beer and distilled spirits, is expressly prohibited. Section 5: The recitals provided in this ordinance are true and correct and are incorporated into the substantive portion of this ordinance. 3-15 Ordinance No. 2021-6 Page 13 of 14 Section 6: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance.

Section 7: The City Council finds that Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2020- 005 is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in accordance with Section 21065 of the California Public Resources Code and Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15378 of the California Code of Regulations Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 ("CEQA Guidelines"). Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2020-005 is also categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment, as the zoning code amendment would allow a new category of use in an existing zoning district but does not authorize new development that would directly result in physical change to the environment. Section 8: Except as expressly modified in this ordinance, all other sections, subsections, terms, clauses and phrases set forth in the NBMC shall remain unchanged and shall be in full force and effect. Section 9: The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall attest to the passage of this ordinance.
