RESOLUTION NO. ZA2021-026
A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA APPROVING MINOR
USE PERMIT NO. UP2021-012 TO ADD A TYPE 41 ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE (ON-SALE BEER AND WINE)
AND A TYPE 20 (OFF-SALE BEER AND WINE) ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE TO AN EXISTING FOOD
SERVICE EATING AND DRINKING ESTABLISHMENT (RYE
GOODS BAKERY AND DELI) LOCATED AT 3418 VIA LIDO
(PA2021-063)
THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by Rye, llc. with respect to property located at 3418 Via Lido, and
legally described as Lot 6 in Tract 1235 requesting approval of a minor use permit.
2. The applicant proposes to allow an existing food service, eating and drinking establishment
(Rye Goods Bakery and Deli) to add a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License
(On-Sale Beer and Wine) and a Type 20 (Off Sale Beer and Wine) ABC License. The
request does not include any physical changes to the existing establishment. The hours of
operation will remain 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., daily. This Minor Use Permit will supersede
Minor Use Permit No. UP2015-045 (PA2015-203).
3. The subject property is designated Mixed Use Water 2 (MU-W2) by the General Plan Land
Use Element and is located within the Mixed-Use Water (MU-W2) Zoning District.
4. The subject property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan
category is Mixed Use Water Related (MU-W) and it is located within the Mixed-Use Water
(MU-W2) Coastal Zone District. The project is exempt from the requirements of a Coastal
Development Permit (CDP) as no additional parking is required, and the proposed alcohol
sales is intended as a convenience for the food service establishment that already exists
within the building. The ABC licenses will add a service to the existing menu for on-site
and take-out orders and does not modify or increase the operational capacity of the
establishment. Therefore, the proposed changes are not considered an intensification of
use.
5. A public hearing was held online on May 27, 2021, observing restrictions due to the
Declaration of a State Emergency and Proclamation of Local Emergency related to
COVID-19. A notice of time, place and purpose of the hearing was given in accordance
with the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented
to, and considered by, the Zoning Administrator at this hearing.

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, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect
on the environment.
2. The proposed project involves no physical improvements with no expansion in floor area
or change in parking requirements.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code
(NBMC), the following findings and facts in support of the findings for a use permit are set forth:
Finding
A. The use is consistent with the purpose and intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of
the Zoning Code.
Facts in Support of Finding
In finding that the proposed use is consistent with Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the
Zoning Code, 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 crime rate in the subject reporting district (RD 15) as well as two (2) of the
three (3) adjacent RDs (Reporting Districts) are over the City average. RD 15
contains the large commercial shopping center known as The Landing at 32nd
Street and Balboa Boulevard and much of Via Lido and Balboa Boulevard. The
purpose of the Zoning of these beach areas is to provide various commercial and
retail uses to support the surrounding residential area as well as the surrounding
tourist destinations. Therefore, these beach areas with a higher concentration of
commercial land uses tend to have a higher crime rate than adjacent RDs.
ii. The numbers of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting
district and in adjacent reporting districts.
1. Due to the high concentration of commercial land uses, the calls for service and
number of arrests are greater than adjacent RDs. Additionally, this is the beach
area that is considered one of the most significant tourist areas of the City.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2021-026
Page 3 of 13
01-25-19
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 subject property is located in a mixed-use district where residential
development is permitted above the first floor. However, Lido Marina Village does
not include any residential development and there are no plans to add mixed-
use.
2. The nearest place of recreation, the beach, is located approximately one half
(0.5) mile to the west. The nearest church, St. James Episcopal Church, is
located approximately 800 feet to the south of the Property along Via Lido, and
substantially separated from the Property by commercial properties and the Lido
Villas development. The nearest school, Newport Elementary School, is located
approximately one (1) mile to the southeast along West Balboa Boulevard. The
Property is not located in close proximity to a daycare center. The Project is
otherwise surrounded by other commercial retail and office uses.
3. 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. This location in Lido Marina Village has greater distance from sensitive
land uses than other commercial areas
iv. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off-site or
on-site consumption.
1. The Lido Marina Village was designed to accommodate multiple restaurants
therefore the existing Rye Goods Bakery and Deli is located in close proximity to
other food service establishments. This includes Nobu, a food service with late
hours, outdoor dining, and a Type 47 (On Sale General) ABC license located at
3450 Via Oporto; Zinque, a food service with late hours, outdoor dining and a
Type 41 (On Sale Beer and Wine); Circle Hook, a food service with outdoor
dining, a Type 41 (On Sale Beer and Wine) ABC license and no late hours located
at 3432 Via Oporto; and Lido Bottle Works, a food service with late hours, outdoor
dinner, a Type 41 ABC license, and a Type 20 (Off Sale Beer and Wine) ABC
license. The RD 15 statistics indicate an overconcentration of ABC licenses within
this statistical area.
2. The per capita ratio of on-sale retail is one (1) license for every 69 residents and is
higher than the adjacent districts and the average ratio for Orange County. The per
capita ratio of off-sale retail is one (1) license for every 572 residents and 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 proposed restaurant is located in close proximity to other
establishments, the location in Lido Marina Village, an established commercial
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2021-026
Page 4 of 13
01-25-19
area, together with the proposed operational characteristics would make the service
of alcoholic beverages appropriate. The Police Department does not anticipate any
increase in crime or alcohol-related incidents with the approval of this application
subject to the proposed conditions of approval.
3. Due to the type and operation of the restaurant which is conditioned to close at
10:00 p.m. with limited net public areas, and the incorporation of additional
conditions to prevent the restaurant from operating as a bar or lounge, the
proximity to other establishments does not appear to create foreseeable concern.
v. Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable
conditions
1. The existing commercial building has been occupied by a food service, eating,
and drinking establishment since 2016. No objectionable conditions are presently
occurring at the restaurant site.
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. The off-sale of alcohol is intended for the convenience of the to-
go goods that are often purchased. Operational conditions of approval
recommended by the Police Department relative to the sale of alcoholic
beverages will ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize
alcohol-related impacts. All employees serving alcohol will be required to
complete a certified training program in responsible methods and skills for selling
alcoholic beverages, as required by the State of California.
3. Offering alcohol service will complement the food service and provide a
convenience to customers. The Police Department has no objections to the
operation given the proposed hours of operation, license type, and location of the
use. The resolution includes conditions of approval to limit objectionable
conditions related to noise and trash from the establishment.
Minor Use Permit
In accordance with Section 20.52.020.F (Findings and Decision) of the Newport Beach
Municipal Code, the following findings and facts in support of the findings for a minor use permit
are set forth:
Finding
B. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan;
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2021-026
Page 5 of 13
01-25-19
Facts in Support of Finding
1. The General Plan designates the site as Mixed-Use Water 2 (MU-W2) which applies
to areas where it is the intent to establish waterfront locations in which marine-related
uses are intermixed with commercial service use and residential.
2. The proposed alcohol services are consistent with the MU-W2 designation as it is
intended to serve nearby residents, the surrounding community, and visitors to the
City of Newport Beach.
3. Several mixed-use structures including visitor serving commercial such as eating
and drinking establishments with alcohol service uses exist nearby and are
complementary to the surrounding commercial and residential uses.
4. The subject property is not part of a specific plan area.
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 property is designated by the Zoning Code as Mixed-Use Water (MU-W2), which
applies to areas where it is the intent for waterfront properties in which marine-related
uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor-serving commercial and
residential dwelling units on the upper floors. The proposed addition of alcohol
service to the existing food service establishment requires a minor use permit
pursuant to Table 2-8 of Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 20.22.020 (Mixed-
Use Zoning Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements). The property is located
approximately 370 feet from a residential zoning district.
2. The existing food service establishment operates under existing Use Permit No.
UP2015-045 (PA2015-203). There are conditions limiting the net public area of the
existing interior (514 square feet) and outdoor dining area (250 square feet), as well
as the hours of operation (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., daily). These conditions will
remain with the new use permit and the net public areas and hours of operation will
remain unchanged.
3. Conditional Use Permit No. UP2014-014 (PA2014-002) approved the Lido Marina
Village Parking Management Plan and established a maximum square footage limit
on food service, eating and drinking uses within Lido Marina Village to ensure the
adequacy of parking resources. Conditional Use Permit No. UP2017-019 (PA2017-
135) authorized changes to the Parking Management Plan (and superseded the prior
Use Permit), including additional off-site patron parking and changes to the off-site
employee parking shuttle service. The approved Parking Management Plan requires
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2021-026
Page 6 of 13
01-25-19
off-site parking with shuttle service during peak occupancy periods from 4:00 p.m.
through 10:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday, and during other periods that generate
parking demands where occupancy within the parking structure is expected to
exceed 85 percent. Off-site valet service is also available for customers at 3700
Newport Boulevard after 7:00 p.m. Therefore, sufficient parking is provided with the
implementation of the Parking Management Plan approved with UP2014-014 and
amended under UP2017-019, provided the maximum square footage limit on food
service uses is not exceeded. In this case, Rye Goods Bakery and Deli operates
under existing Use Permit No. UP2015-045 and the existing floor area is already
accounted for within the food service limit of the Parking Management Plan with no
increase in floor area proposed. The proposed addition of alcohol service does not
change the parking requirements.
4. As conditioned, the proposed 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 consists of 514 square feet of interior net public area, a
250-square-foot outdoor dining area, kitchen facilities, indoor storage and washing
areas, a restroom, dedicated wash down area that will drain directly into the sewer
system, and a covered trash enclosure with gate. No physical changes are proposed.
2. The hours operation of the existing food service will remain restricted to the hours
between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., daily. These hours are consistent with the business
hours of other restaurants and uses in the commercial area.
3. The subject property is located in a relatively dense commercial village area with
multiple uses within a short distance of each other. Lido Marina Village is conducive to
a significant amount of walk-in patrons. No on-site parking is available for the subject
property but adequate parking is provided in the Lido Marina Village parking structure
and adjacent streets (Central Avenue and Via Oporto) as authorized under the Parking
Management Plan approved by Use Permit Nos. UP2014-014 (PA2014-002) and
UP2017-019 (PA2017-135).
4. The surrounding area contains various, retail and visitor serving commercial uses
including restaurants with alcohol service. Adding the alcohol service to the existing
food service is compatible with the existing and permitted uses within the area.
5. The operational conditions of approval relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages will
help ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol-related
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2021-026
Page 7 of 13
01-25-19
impacts. The project has been conditioned to ensure that the business remains a
restaurant and does not become a bar or tavern. Additionally, dancing or live
entertainment is not permitted.
6. The existing common trash storage area located approximately 150 feet to the west is
adequate to accommodate the proposed food service use and is conveniently located
where materials can be deposited and collected, and does not impede with parking.
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; and
Facts in Support of Finding
1. The existing food service establishment provides adequate public and emergency
vehicle access, public services, and utilities.
2. The site is accessible from both Via Lido and a private alley at the rear.
Finding
F. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the harmonious
and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard
to the public convenience, health, interest, and 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 limited hours reduce impacts to surrounding land uses and sufficient
parking is available for the existing food service establishment. 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 subject
property and adjacent properties during business hours, if directly related to the patrons
of the establishment.
2. The food service, eating and drinking establishment serves the surrounding
community in a commercial area designed for such uses. The additional service of
alcohol is provided as a public convenience and is not uncommon in establishments
of this type. Additionally, the service of alcohol will provide an economic opportunity
for the property owner to maintain a successful business that is compatible with the
surrounding community.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2021-026
Page 8 of 13
01-25-19
3. All owners, managers, and employees selling or serving alcohol will be required to
complete a Responsible Beverage Service Certification Program.
