PROJECT SUMMARY
The Planning Commission will reconsider the application for Minor Use Permit No. UP2018-
014.The request is for the approval to operate a tattoo studio (Personal Services, Restricted
land use) in an art gallery within an existing commercial tenant space. Proposed hours of

application to the City Council. On February 26, 2019, the City Council referred the request
back to the Planning Commission for a new hearing and action based on the receipt of
additional information regarding the proposed application that the Planning Commission did
not previously have.
RECOMMENDATION
1)Conduct a public hearing;
2)Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it
has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and
3)Adopt Resolution No. PC2019-009 approving Minor Use Permit No. UP2018-014
(Attachment No. PC 1).

INTRODUCTION
Project Description and Setting
The application is a request for a minor use permit (MUP) to operate a tattoo studio
(Personal Services, Restricted land use) in conjunction with an art gallery/studio within an
existing commercial tenant space. The existing art gallery/studio is a permitted use and an
approval of use permit is not required. As proposed by the applicant and pursuant to
conditions of approval included in the draft resolution for approval, the tattoo aspect of the
business would consist of two workstations with a maximum of two tattoo artists working
at the same time. The artists would operate by appointment only, with no “walk-in”
services offered. The hours of operation are proposed to be between the hours of 10:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m., daily. The art gallery/studio aspect of the business will continue to
include painting and figurative drawing classes, painting on canvas, and commissioned
artwork.
Since the first Planning Commission hearing on December 6, 2018, there have been no
substantial changes to the application. The applicant/appellant has provided updated
project descriptions and plans for each subsequent hearing to clarify the proposed use
and respond to questions and concerns. One notable correction has been made
regarding the size of the tenant space. It was originally reported as 693 square feet and
has been corrected to 513 square feet (Attachment PC10).
A full and complete analysis of the proposed use is provided in the attached December
6, 2018 Planning Commission staff report (Attachment PC2).
Background
On December 6, 2018, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on a minor
use permit application for tattoo services. After listening to public testimony and following
Planning Commission discussion, the Planning Commission determined the use would
be incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood and voted 3-2 denying Minor Use
Permit No. UP2018-014 by adopting Resolution No. PC2018-032 (Attachment No. PC3).
The December 6, 2018, Planning Commission meeting minutes are included as
Attachment No. PC4.
On December 20, 2018, the applicant filed an appeal of that decision alleging the Planning
Commission did not provide sufficient facts to support the decision to deny the application.
The appellant’s appeal letter is included as Attachment No. PC5.
The appeal was scheduled for the February 26, 2019, City Council meeting. The day of
the hearing, an extensive comment letter was received from Melinda Luthin, Esq., another
tenant of 2721 East Coast Highway, in opposition to the project (Attachment No. PC6).
Because of this new information, the City Council referred the matter back to the Planning
Commission for reconsideration by a vote of 7-0. The Council specified that the Planning
Commission should include specific factual information to support the action in any newly
5
adopted resolution. The February 26, 2019, City Council staff report is included as
Attachment No. PC7 and the draft minutes as Attachment No. PC8.
DISCUSSION
Staff has reviewed the letter submitted by Ms. Luthin. The following are general
responses to the topics raised in Ms. Luthin’s letter. This is not intended to be an
exhaustive legal review, nor detailed rebuttal or argument to each point, but rather an
overview of each issue to provide clarification and to assist the Planning Commission in
their review of the request.
Applicant/Appellant
The letter alleges that the applicant and the appellant are not the same entity. Both the
applicant and the appellant for this application is E Art Gallery/Savaanah Gallegos
(“Applicant”).
Project Plans
The letter states that the Applicant misrepresented the size of the subject tenant space.
The original submitted plans indicated a floor area of 693 square feet. Staff visited the
site and confirmed that 693 is incorrect and it overstates the area of the suite. The
Applicant has since submitted more accurate and detailed plans correcting the floor area
to 513 square feet. In speaking to the applicant, staff has no reason to think the applicant
attempted to intentionally mislead the City. Staff does not believe this issue has any
significant bearing on the application or the hearing. The application remains a land use
issue in an existing tenant space.
Adult-Oriented Business
The submitted letter states that the application is proposing live models meeting the
definition of “Adult-Oriented Business” as defined by the Newport Beach Municipal Code
(NBMC). Pursuant to NBMC Section 5.96.010 (Definitions), an “adult model studio” is
defined as:
Any premises where there is furnished, provided or procured a figure model or models who
pose in any manner which is characterized by its emphasis on matter depicting, describing
or relating to specified sexual activities or specified anatomical parts where such model(s)
is being observed or viewed by any person for the purpose of being sketched, painted,
drawn, sculptured, photographed, filmed, or videotaped for a fee, or any other thing of value,
as a consideration, compensation or gratuity for the right or opportunity to so observe the
model or remain on the premises. Adult model studio shall not include any live art class or
any studio or classroom which is operated by any public agency, or the private educational
institution authorized to issue and confer a diploma or degree under Section 94300, et seq.
of the Education Code.
6
The art studio aspect of the proposed business does include live models; however, there is
no indication that models will meet the definition of an “adult model studio” as described by
the Municipal Code. A condition of approval has been added to the draft resolution to further
clarify that models meeting the definition of an “adult model studio” are prohibited at this
location. Therefore, no application for an adult-oriented business permit is required.
Parking
The submitted letter states that because multiple uses are proposed in the tenant space (art
gallery, art classes, tattoo services), each use should be required to provide parking
consistent with the Zoning Code even though they occupy the same space. Parking for a
commercial space is determined by multiplying the area of the use by the required parking
rate. One parking rate is applied for the entire suite. When a business engages in several
activities from the same space, the most restrictive parking rate is applied to the entire suite.
Each of the uses the applicant plans to operate requires parking at a rate of one parking
space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. Ms. Luthin’s suggestion would apply the
1:250 parking requirement to each of the three activities in the space thereby tripling the
required parking for the use. This interpretation has never been applied and is the equivalent
to requiring parking for a 1,500 square foot space when the space is only 500 square feet.
Pursuant to Municipal Code Sections 20.40.040 and 21.40.040 (Off-Street Parking Spaces
Required), retail, personal service uses and art studios require parking at a rate of one space
for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. The existing multi-tenant commercial building
is legal non-conforming due to parking because there are no parking spaces provided on-
site. Municipal Code Sections 20.38.060(B)(1) and 21.38.060(B)(1) allow a nonconforming
site to change to a new use without providing additional parking provided there is no
intensification or enlargement and the new use requires no more than one parking space
for every 250 square feet of gross area. The proposed use meets these non-conforming
parking regulations and no additional parking is required.
Nonconforming Structure
Ms. Luthin’s letter states that the subject property has several nonconforming building
issues, which would preclude the tenant space from operating as a tattoo studio. Pursuant
to NBMC Section 20.70.020 (Definitions of Specialized Terms and Phrases), a
“nonconforming structure” means a structure that was lawfully erected, but that does not
conform to the property development regulations for the zoning district in which the
structure is located by reason of adoption or amendment of this Zoning Code or by reason
of annexation of territory to the City.”
The building is nonconforming due to floor area and parking as it exceeds the current
maximum allowed floor area ratio of 0.5 and it provides no parking. Staff was unable to
locate the original building permit for the development, and County records indicate that
the building was constructed in 1947. The City has issued many permits for tenant
improvement over the years indicating that the development was legally constructed and
is therefore legally nonconforming.
7
Ms. Luthin’s letter also states that there is a residential tenant in the subject commercial
building. The property has been zoned for commercial use and there are no records to
support residential use of the property. This information has been referred to the Code
Enforcement Division for investigation.
Safe Body Art Act/Orange County Health Regulations
The letter submitted by Ms. Luthin alleges that the subject tenant space will not be able to
comply with the California Safe Body Art Act nor the regulations of the Orange County
Department of Health. Specifically, the letter states that bathrooms, wall/floor/ceiling material
and sink are inadequate, among other concerns. Staff has reviewed the California Safe
Body Art Act and spoken with a representative of the Orange County Health Department.
Based on this research and discussion, staff believes that the tenant space will be able to
comply with regulations with only minor modifications (paint/floors). The County of Orange
conducts inspections prior to their permit issuance. County inspections take place after an
applicant receives zoning approval from a local jurisdiction. Should the applicant not be able
to make any necessary interior modifications, they would not receive clearance from OC
Health and the tattoo activity would not commence.
Fictitious Business Name Statement (FBN)
Ms. Luthin’s letter indicates that state law requires the filing of an FBN, which staff has
confirmed. However, staff followed up on this requirement with a representative from the
OC Clerk Recorder’s Office who indicated that Orange County currently does not require
businesses to file an FBN. Regardless, the County, not the City, is responsible for
enforcement of this issue.
The applicant is required to obtain and maintain a business license with the City and has
been made aware of this requirement.
Personal Services, Restricted
Ms. Luthin’s letter states that there are three existing personal services, restricted uses at
the subject property: two day spas and one nail salon.
Pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Chapter 20.70 (Definitions), tattoo
services are defined as a “personal services, restricted” land use:
“Personal service establishments that may tend to have a blighting and/or
deteriorating effect upon surrounding areas and that may need to be dispersed
from other similar uses to minimize adverse impacts, including:
a. Day spas.
b. Healing arts (acupuncture, aromatherapy, etc.) with no services qualifying
under “Massage establishments.”
8
c. Tanning salons.
d. Tattoo services and body piercing studios.
These uses may also include accessory retail sales of products related to the
services provided.”
Staff has looked into the services offered at the three business and believe that they do not
meet the definition of personal services, restricted land uses. Nail salons are a permitted
use in the CC Zoning District. Each of the other two businesses are beauty salons, which
are personal services, general land uses and are therefore permitted uses in the CC Zoning
District.
As discussed in the December 6, 2018 Planning Commission staff report, there are five
tattoo studios currently operating within the City (Attachment No PC9): three on the
Balboa Peninsula, one in Newport Shores, and one recently approved in Newport
Heights. Of the five, the nearest is Agape Art Collective, located approximately four miles
away in Newport Heights on Old Newport Boulevard. Therefore, the proposed project
would be the first tattoo establishment in Corona del Mar.
Minor Use Permit Findings for Approval and Staff’s Recommendation
Although Planning Commission denied the Minor Use Permit on December 6, 2018, staff
continues to believe that sufficient facts exist in support of each finding required by NBMC
Section 20.52.020.F (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use Permits).
Additionally, Federal courts have ruled that tattooing and display of tattoos are rights
protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Therefore, the
Planning Commission’s action must be based upon content-neutral time, place, and
manner restrictions involving potentially detrimental factors such as increased traffic,
health concerns, noise, odors, etc. that cannot be mitigated or avoided with reasonable
conditions of approval or design modification.
Conditions of approval that address time, place, and manner restrictions are included in the
draft resolution for approval. Staff therefore expects the proposed tattoo studio and art
gallery to operate in an effective and non-detrimental manner that would be compatible with
the surrounding commercial tenants and commercial uses in the area.
The Planning Commission should include specific factual information to support the action
in any newly adopted resolution.
Alternatives
1. The Planning Commission may suggest specific project modifications or operational
changes that are necessary to alleviate concerns. Modifications may address the
business operation plan. If the changes are substantial, the item should be continued
to a future meeting to allow the changes to be incorporated.
9
2. If the Planning Commission believes that the facts to support the findings for approval
are insufficient at this time, the Planning Commission may deny the application.
Environmental Review
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.
The Class 1 exemption includes the ongoing use of an existing building where there is
negligible or no expansion of use. The proposed project will allow the operation of a tattoo
studio and art gallery/studio in an existing commercial tenant space.
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.

PERMIT NO. UP2018-014 FOR A TATTOO STUDIO (PERSONAL
SERVICES, RESTRICTED USE) LOCATED AT 2721 EAST
COAST HIGHWAY, SUITE 104 (PA2018-177)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by E. Art Gallery (“Applicant”), with respect to property located at

conjunction with an art gallery/studio within an existing commercial tenant space
(“Project”.)
3. The Property is designated Corridor Commercial (“CC”) by the General Plan Land Use
Element.
4. The Property is located within the coastal zone and is within the CC Zoning District. A
coastal development permit is not required as the Project does not change the intensity of
use at the subject property.
5. A Planning Commission public hearing was held on December 6, 2018, in the Council
Chambers located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and
purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and the

Commission voted (3-2) to adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-032
denying Minor Use Permit No. UP2018-014 (PA2018-177).
6. On December 20, 2018, the Planning Commission’s decision to deny Use Permit No.
UP2018-014 was appealed by the Applicant. The appeal was filed to review the Facts Not
in Support of Findings in Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-032.
7. A City Council public hearing was held on February 26, 2019, in the Council Chambers
located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and purpose of

15
8. A Planning Commission public hearing was held on March 21, 2019, in the Council
Chambers located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and
purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and the
NBMC. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the
Planning Commission 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 Class 1 exemption includes the ongoing use of an existing building where there is
negligible or no expansion of use. The Project will allow the operation of a tattoo studio
and art gallery/studio in an existing commercial tenant space.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.52.020(F) (Findings and Decision), the following findings
and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Finding:
A. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The General Plan Land Use Element designation for the Property is CC. The CC
designation is intended to provide a range of neighborhood-serving retail and
service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster
pedestrian activity. The existing building onsite operates with commercial uses, with
primarily retail and service uses occupying the Property. The Project is consistent
with this designation in that it will add an additional service use to the area.
2. The Property is not part of a specific plan area.
Finding:
B. 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 located within the CC Zoning District and CC Coastal Zoning
District. Within NBMC Section 20.20.020 (Commercial Zoning Districts Land Uses
and Permit Requirements), the CC District allows Personal Services, Restricted
16
uses subject to the approval of a minor use permit. The art gallery/studio component
is permitted by right within the CC Zoning District. Both uses are allowed uses within
the CC Coastal Zoning District pursuant to NBMC 21.20.020 (Commercial Coastal
Zoning Districts and Land Uses).
2. The existing multi-tenant commercial building is considered legal non-conforming
because the Property does not comply with current off-street parking
requirements. NBMC Sections 20.38.060(B)(1) and 21.38.060(B)(1) allow a
nonconforming use to change to a new use without providing additional parking
given there is no intensification or enlargement and the new use requires no more
than one parking space per two hundred fifty (250) square feet of gross area. The
proposed use is acceptable as it does not include an intensification or expansion
of floor area and one parking space is required per every two hundred fifty (250)
square feet of gross floor area.
3. While the Project does include live models, as proposed, live modeling does not
meet the definition of an “adult oriented business” and/or an “adult model studio” as
provided in Section 5.96.010 of the NBMC. A condition of approval has been added
which prohibits an “adult model studio” without additional compliance with the City’s
requirements for adult model studios.
Finding:
C. 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 tattoo studio and art gallery/studio will be located within an existing tenant
space. There is no increase in floor area proposed as a part of the tenant
improvements necessary to convert the existing space into a tattoo studio and art
gallery/studio. The plans have been resubmitted correcting the floor area from
693 square feet to 513 square feet. The change in floor area will not affect the
scope of the Project given that 513 square feet is sufficient for two (2)
workstations and additional conditions of approval limiting hours of operation and
scheduling of appointments.
2. The proposed operation will consist of two (2) workstations. A maximum of two
(2) tattoo artists, registered and licensed by the Orange County Health
Department, will provide the tattooing services.
3. The artists will operate on an appointment-only basis with no “walk-in” services
for tattooing. No designated receptionist will be provided. The hours of operation
for the business will be from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., daily. The Project has been
17
conditioned to require at least a thirty (30) minute gap between each client
appointment with their respective tattoo artist in order to avoid overlap.
4. The proposed tattoo studio use is a service use that will be complementary to the
other uses in the commercial building and surrounding area, which include food
service, various retail sales uses, and fitness studio uses. Its operating
characteristics are similar to other service uses, such as barber and beauty
shops. The tattoo studio aspect of the business is accessory to the art
gallery/studio.
5. The proposed tattoo studio’s anticipated number of patrons and related traffic
would be similar to other service uses, such as beauty salons and barber shops;
however, the level of activity would be limited to a greater extent due to the
maximum number of chairs permitted to operate at any time.
6. The proposed tattoo service business will provide a service for residents of the
greater community and visitors to the area and will not require the provision of
additional parking spaces on Property.
7. There are five (5) tattoo studios currently operating within the City: three (3) on
the Balboa Peninsula, one (1) in Newport Shores and one (1) in Newport Heights.
Of the five (5), the nearest is Agape Art Collective, located approximately four (4)
miles away on Old Newport Boulevard. Therefore, the Project would not create
an over-concentration of tattoo service uses within the area.
8. There are no permitted Personal Services, Restricted land uses (i.e., day spas,
healing arts, tanning salons, and tattoo services) within the subject building or
within at least three hundred (300) feet of the Property. Thus, the Project would
not create or continue a concentration of such uses therefore, there is an
adequate dispersal of personal services, restricted land uses.
Finding:
D. The Property 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 is currently operating as a commercial building with mainly service and retail
uses, which demonstrates that it is physically suitable to support the existing
commercial development. The addition of a tattoo studio use within an existing
commercial building will not alter the Property’s ability to provide public and
emergency vehicle access and public services and utilities.
18
2. The Project will be located in a tenant space within an existing commercial
building and will not involve substantial construction within or outside of the space
with the exception of minor tenant improvements. The design, size, location, and
operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the existing uses on the
Property and within the surrounding area.
3. The Public Works Department and Building and Life Safety Services Divisions
have reviewed the project proposal and did not have any concerns regarding
access, public services, or utilities provided to the existing development.
Finding:
E. 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, a 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 this approval includes conditions to establish
the permitted hours of operation and the maximum number of tattoo artists
allowed to operate on Property at any one time.
2. Tattoo studio operators and artists are required to register with the Orange
County Health Department and are regulated by the California Safe Body Art Act,
which was enacted July 1, 2012, to ensure safe operating procedures are
practiced. The studio will be subject to inspections to ensure it maintains proper
sanitary facilities and that it meets all health regulations prior to issuing a permit
through the County’s permitting process. The Orange County Health Department
inspections take place after the applicant receives zoning approval from the local
jurisdiction.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves UP2018-014,
subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated
by reference.

INTRODUCTION
Project Setting
The subject tenant space is located within an existing two-story commercial building on
East Coast Highway in Corona del Mar, south of Fernleaf Avenue. The building contains
approximately 10,098 square feet of rentable space, and contains a mix of commercial
uses including service and retail uses such as tailoring, fitness studios, salons, and a law
office. No onsite parking spaces are provided. Surrounding land uses consist of primarily
commercial uses including a yoga studio, a resale clothing boutique, restaurants and
Sherman Library and Gardens, with adjacent residential uses immediately to the west of
the site.
Project Description
The applicant requests a minor use permit to operate a tattoo studio (Personal Services,
Restricted land use) in conjunction with an artist gallery/studio within an existing commercial
tenant space. The art studio/gallery and tattoo studio will be located within an existing,
693-square-foot tenant space located on the lower level of the building. No increase in floor
area and only minor interior improvements are proposed.
The tattoo aspect of the business would consist of two workstations with a maximum of
two tattoo artists working at any time. The artists would operate by appointments only,
with no “walk-in” services offered. The hours of operation are proposed to be between the
hours of 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., daily.
Tattoo studio operators and artists are required to register with the Orange County Health
Department and are regulated by the California Safe Body Art Act, which was enacted
July 1, 2012, to ensure safe operating procedures are practiced. The studio will be subject
to inspections to ensure it maintains proper sanitary facilities and that it meets all
applicable health regulations.
The art gallery/studio aspect of the business will include painting and figurative drawing
classes, painting canvas, and commissioned artwork. Art classes will typically consist of
five to seven artists painting or drawing a live model one to two times per month. One-on-
one art instruction may also be scheduled on an appointment basis.
DISCUSSION
Analysis
General Plan
The General Plan Land Use Element designation for the site is Corridor Commercial (CC).
The CC designation is intended to provide a range of neighborhood-serving retail and
service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster pedestrian
31
activity. The existing building is occupied by a variety of retail and service uses. The
proposed studio is defined as service use and is consistent with this designation.
Local Coastal Plan
The subject site is located in the Coastal Zone and is within the Commercial Corridor (CC)
Coastal Zoning District. Personal Service, Restricted land uses and art galleries/studios
are allowed uses within the CC Coastal Zoning District. There is no coastal development
permit required because tenant space has historically been occupied by a retail or service
use and there is no change in intensity of use proposed.
Zoning
The site is located within the Commercial Corridor (CC) Zoning District. Within Section
20.20.020 (Commercial Zoning Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements) of the Zoning
Code, the CC District allows Personal Services, Restricted uses subject to the approval of
a MUP. The Zoning Code does not provide any specific requirements for tattoo studios
other than the MUP requirement. The art gallery/studio component is permitted by right
within the CC Zoning District.
Parking
Pursuant to Municipal Code Sections 20.40.040 and 21.40.040 (Off-Street Parking Spaces
Required), retail, personal service uses and art studios require parking at a rate of one space
for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. The existing multi-tenant commercial building
is legal non-conforming due to parking because there are no parking spaces provided
onsite. Municipal Code Sections 20.38.060(B)(1) and 21.38.060(B)(1) allow a
nonconforming site building to change to a new use without providing additional parking
provided there is no intensification or enlargement and the new use requires no more than
one parking space for every 250 square feet of gross area. The proposed use meets these
parking regulations.
Dispersion of Uses
There is one other restricted personal service land use (i.e., day spas, healing arts,
tanning salons, and tattoo services) within the subject building. The business, La Vita
Salon/Spa, offers salon services in a nearby commercial space. The surrounding
commercial area of Corona del Mar contains many personal services, general land uses
(i.e., barber and beauty shops, dry cleaning services). Although there have been no minor
use permits approved for personal services, restricted land uses in the Corona del Mar
neighborhood since 2010, there are eight personal service uses within two blocks.
There are five tattoo studios currently operating within the City: three on the Balboa
Peninsula, one in Newport Shores and one recently approved in Newport Heights. Of the
five, the nearest is Agape Art Collective, located approximately four miles away on Old
Newport Boulevard. Therefore, staff believes the proposed project would not create an
32
over-concentration of personal service restricted or tattoo service uses within the area.
Refer to Attachment No. PC4 for a map of the existing tattoo service locations.
Use Permit Findings
In accordance with Section 20.52.020.F (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use
Permits), the Planning Commission must make the following findings for approval for a
minor 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 the 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.
5.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, safety, or general
welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
As previously indicated, the proposed project includes uses consistent with the CC
General Plan land use category and CC Zoning District. The existing building and tenant
space were built and designed to accommodate commercial uses, with retail and service
uses currently and historically occupying the site. The proposed tattoo studio use is a
service that will be complementary to the other uses in the commercial building and
surrounding area. No significant tenant improvements are proposed and the parking
requirement would not increase from existing conditions.
The art gallery/studio and tattoo studio would operate with typical retail business hours of
operation, occupy less than 700 square feet, and tattoo artists would operate by
appointment only with no “walk-in” tattoo customers. A maximum of two tattoo stations
would be authorized and each artist would be required to be registered with the County
Health Department to ensure sanitary practices. Conditions are also included in the
resolution to prevent loitering outside of the business.
The presence of La Vita Salon/Spa, another restricted personal service use that offers
salon services, should be complementary and not foster undesirable conditions. Other
tattoo studios in the vicinity are located over four miles away. Thus, the proposed project
should not create or perpetuate a cluster of such uses that might be detrimental to the
area.
33
Staff believes sufficient facts exist in support of each finding. As conditioned, it is expected
to operate in an effective and non-detrimental manner that is would be compatible with the
surrounding commercial tenants and commercial uses in the area.
Alternatives
1.The Planning Commission may suggest specific project modifications or operational
changes that are necessary to alleviate concerns. Modifications may address the
business operation plan. If the changes are substantial, the item should be continued
to a future meeting to allow the changes to be incorporated.
2.If the Planning Commission believes that the facts to support the findings for approval
are insufficient at this time, the Planning Commission may deny the application. Refer
to the Draft Resolution for Denial provided as Attachment No. PC 2.
Environmental Review
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.
The Class 1 exemption includes the ongoing use of an existing building where there is
negligible or no expansion of use. The proposed project will allow the operation of a tattoo
studio and art gallery/studio in an existing commercial tenant space.
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.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING MINOR USE
PERMIT NO. UP2018-014 FOR A TATTOO STUDIO (PERSONAL
SERVICES, RESTRICTED USE) LOCATED AT 2721 EAST
COAST HIGHWAY, SUITE 104 (PA2018-177)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1.An application was filed by E. Art Gallery (“Applicant”), with respect to property located at
2721 East Coast Highway, Suite 104, Assessor’s Parcel Number 459-171-14 (“Property”),
requesting approval of a minor use permit.
2.The Applicant proposes a tattoo studio (Personal Services, Restricted land use) in
conjunction with an art gallery/studio within an existing commercial tenant space.
3.The Property is designated Corridor Commercial (“CC”) by the General Plan Land Use
Element and is located within the Commercial Corridor (“CC”) Zoning District.
4.The Property is located within the coastal zone and is within the Commercial Corridor
(“CC”) Coastal Zoning District. A coastal development permit is not required as the
proposed project does not change the intensity of use at the subject property.
5.A Planning Commission public hearing was held on December 6, 2018, in the Council
Chambers located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and
purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code
(“NBMC”). Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the
Planning Commission 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 Class 1 exemption includes the ongoing use of an existing building where there is
negligible or no expansion of use. The proposed project will allow the operation of a
tattoo studio and art gallery/studio in an existing commercial tenant space.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.52.020(F) (Findings and Decision), the following findings
and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
39
Finding:
A.The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1.The General Plan Land Use Element designation for the site is Corridor Commercial
(“CC”). The CC designation is intended to provide a range of neighborhood-serving
retail and service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster
pedestrian activity. The existing building onsite operates with commercial uses, with
primarily retail and service uses occupying the site. The proposed project is
consistent with this designation in that it will add an additional service use to the
area.
2.The Property is not part of a specific plan area.
Finding:
B.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 site is located within the Corridor Commercial (“CC”) Zoning District and CC
Coastal Zoning District. Within NBMC Section 20.20.020 (Commercial Zoning
Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements), the CC District allows Personal
Services, Restricted uses subject to the approval of a minor use permit. The art
gallery/studio component is permitted by right within the CC Zoning District. Both
uses are allowed uses within the CC Coastal Zoning District pursuant to NBMC
21.20.020 (Commercial Coastal Zoning Districts and Land Uses)
2.The existing multi-tenant commercial building is considered legal non-conforming
because the Property does not comply with current off-street parking
requirements. NBMC Sections 20.38.060(B)(1) and 21.38.060(B)(1) allow a
nonconforming use to change to a new use without providing additional parking
given there is no intensification or enlargement and the new use requires no more
than one parking space per two hundred fifty (250) square feet of gross area. The
proposed use is acceptable as it does not include an intensification or expansion
of floor area and one parking space is required per every two hundred fifty (250)
square feet of gross floor area.
Finding:
C.The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the
allowed uses in the vicinity.
40
Facts in Support of Finding:
1.The tattoo studio and art gallery/studio will be located within an existing tenant
space. There is no increase in floor area proposed as a part of the tenant
improvements necessary to convert the existing space into a tattoo studio and art
gallery/studio.
2.The proposed operation will consist of two (2) workstations. A maximum of two
(2)tattoo artists, registered and licensed by the Orange County Health
Department, will provide the tattooing services.
3.The artists will operate on an appointment-only basis with no “walk-in” services
for tattooing. No designated receptionist will be provided. The hours of operation
for the business will be from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., daily. The project has been
conditioned to require at least a thirty (30) minute gap between each client
appointment with their respective tattoo artist in order to avoid overlap.
4.The proposed tattoo studio use is a service use that will be complementary to the
other uses in the commercial building and surrounding area, which include food
service, various retail sales uses, and fitness studio uses. Its operating
characteristics are similar to other service uses, such as barber and beauty
shops. The tattoo studio aspect of the business is accessory to the art
gallery/studio.
5.The proposed tattoo studio’s anticipated number of patrons and related traffic
would be similar to other service uses, such as beauty salons and barber shops;
however, the level of activity would be limited to greater extent due to the
maximum number of chairs permitted to operate at any time.
6.The proposed tattoo service business will provide a service for residents of the
greater community and visitors to the area and will not require the provision of
additional parking spaces on site.
7.There are five (5) tattoo studios currently operating within the City: three (3) on
the Balboa Peninsula, one (1) in Newport Shores and one (1) in Newport Heights.
Of the five (5), the nearest is Agape Art Collective, located approximately four (4)
miles away on Old Newport Boulevard. Therefore, the proposed project would
not create an over-concentration of tattoo service uses within the area.
8.There are no permitted Personal Services, Restricted land uses (i.e., day spas,
healing arts, tanning salons, and tattoo services) within the subject building or
within at least three hundred (300) feet of the site. Thus, the proposed project
would not create or continue a concentration of such uses therefore, there is an
adequate dispersal of personal services, restricted land uses.
41
Finding:
D.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 project site is currently operating as a commercial building with mainly
service and retail uses, which demonstrates that it is physically suitable to support
the existing commercial development. The addition of a tattoo studio use within
an existing commercial building will not alter the site’s ability to provide public and
emergency vehicle access and public services and utilities.
2.The proposed project will be located in a tenant space within an existing
commercial building and will not involve substantial construction within or outside
of the space with the exception of minor tenant improvements. The design, size,
location, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the existing
uses on the site and within the surrounding area.
3.The Public Works Department and Building and Life Safety Services Divisions
have reviewed the project proposal and did not have any concerns regarding
access, public services, or utilities provided to the existing development.
Finding:
E.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, a 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 this approval includes conditions to establish
the permitted hours of operation and the maximum number of tattoo artists
allowed to operate on site at any one time.
2.Tattoo studio operators and artists are required to register with the Orange
County Health Department and are regulated by the California Safe Body Art Act,
which was enacted July 1, 2012, to ensure safe operating procedures are
practiced. The studio will be subject to inspections to ensure it maintains proper
sanitary facilities and that it meets all health regulations.
42
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1.The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves UP2018-014,
subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated
by reference.
2.This action shall become final and effective 14 days following the date this Resolution is

of the Zoning Code, specifically Section 20.52.020 (Conditional Use Permits and Minor
Use Permits) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
2.The applicant’s request may lead to a proliferation of personal services, restricted land
uses within the area.
3.The site is not physically suitable in terms of design, location and operating
characteristics for the establishment of a personal services, restricted land use.
4.The addition of a personal service, restricted land use may impact surrounding
residential neighborhoods.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1.The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby denies Minor Use Permit
No. UP2018-014.
2.This action shall become final and effective fourteen (14) days following the date this
Resolution is adopted, unless within such time an appeal or call for review is filed with
the City Clerk in accordance with the provisions of NBMC Chapter 20.64.

Subject: Tattoo Studio at 2721 E. Coast Hwy
Chelsea Crager,
I am responding to a notice I received at my home address regarding a public hearing on 12/6/18 to
discuss the possibility of a tattoo parlor being located at 2721 E. Coast Highway. I am strongly
opposed to this type of establishment operating in our neighborhood. A tattoo parlor is not an
appropriate business for the family-friendly, community oriented city of Corona del Mar. My
business is located across the street from the location named in the notice. I am concerned about
the changes to our neighborhood that will certainly occur if businesses such as these begin to locate
here. I am unable to attend the meeting on December 6th but wanted to voice my emphatic
objection to this request.
Thank you,
55

Dear Ms. Crager,
Thank you for your call. Please use the following text instead of what I submitted with namesand cell phones.
Thank you.
Nov. 27, 2018
Dear Ms. Crager,
I received notification of File No.: PA 2018-177, Activity No. : UP2018-014, a permit
application to operate a tattoo studio in Corona Del Mar. I, without question, feel as thoughthis is not an appropriate business for my neighborhood. E Art Gallery will not provide the
type of goods or services that boost the esteemed family business climate of our community.Tattoo parlors are not in keeping with a family-friendly community. There is a grade school
within a quarter mile of the proposed establishment with young children using the nearestcrosswalk to access their school. I am strongly opposed to this type of business going in this
highly visible entry corridor in Corona Del Mar.I am in favor of a great business promoting foot traffic going in this location. The tattoo parlor
is not what our community needs at this time. I cannot attend the public hearing but aminterested in having my opinion heard. E Art Gallery is an undesirable business and should not
be allowed to enter my neighborhood.

To Whom It Concerns,
E Art Gallery is an art studio, which includes painting and figurative drawing classes,
painting canvas, commissioned artwork, and Body Art. Savaanah Gallegos and Edgar Aguirre
are the owners and employees of E Art Gallery, whom are certified, licensed professionals and
adhere to standards set by OSHA and particular guidelines and state laws.
Tattooing, with disposable tubes and needles, is the only form of Body Art that is
performed. Art classes will consist of 5-7 other world renowned artists, mostly, 18 years old and
over, drawing and or painting figurative live people, which will be held privately and scheduled at
least once or twice every other month, depending on the live model’s schedule. Figurative live
art classes will be held up to 3 hours maximum. There will be various genres of art to be shared
such as figurative, abstract, cubism, and modern contemporary, etc. If the parent/ guardian of
age group 10 years old and over decides to book an appointment of a one-on-one painting or
drawing session with their child, they have the option to be present during the session or not.
These sessions will be held for an hour to an hour and a half, depending on parent’s decision of
length of time and will only be booked based on Savaanah’s open schedule once or twice a
month, and depending how adamant their parent is about their child’s art classes.
Hours open to the public will be set from 1000- 2000, Monday to Sunday, and mostly operated
by appointment. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Savaanah Gallegos

Re: Opposition To E Art Gallery Minor Use Permit
Dear Mayor Dixon and Members of the City Council:
This letter is to voice my objection to the appeal of the decision of the Newport Beach
Planning Commission to deny an application for a minor use permit (“Application”), submitted by
an applicant identifying itself as “E Art Gallery,” regarding a space located at 2721 East Coast
Highway, Corona del Mar, California. I am a person interested in this appeal in that I work at
2721 East Coast Highway, Corona del Mar, California and I am a resident of Corona del Mar,
California.
Savannah Gallegos, who filed the Application under the name of a business that does not
exist, wants to fill a garaged-sized basement office space with at least four separate businesses,
many of which would require the approval of conditional use permits and/or adult oriented
business permits. In her appeal, Ms. Gallegos requests the Council issue a minor use permit to
allow E Art Gallery to open and operate a tattoo parlor, and apparently, an art gallery, an art studio
and an art school, where the Applicant wants to host shows and to use “live models” for “art
classes” taught to children as young as 10 years old, unaccompanied by their parents, in a small
basement office space that has all its windows obscured with heavy fabric and that can never
comply with the necessary permit requirements, building standards or Health and Safety Codes.
Savaanah Gallegos, is the Appellant (“Appellant”). She claims the Planning Commission
“wrongly [sic] denied [E Art Gallery’s application] without using evidence.” (“Reasons for
Appeal,” p. 12-7 [Attachment A, p.3].) Appellant is wrong. It is the responsibility of the applicant
to provide evidence in support of the findings required for issuing the permit. (NB Muni Code §
20.52.020.) As Appellant admits, Chairman Kleiman and the Honorable Koettling stated that they
“can’t make findings on compatibility in this area,” based on the facts presented to them. The fault
171
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 2
for the Commissioners’ inability to make findings required to issue a permit lies with the
Applicant, not with the Commission.
Appellant also disagrees with the Planning Commission’s determination that the intended
use is not compatible with the surrounding businesses and area but she provides no facts to support
her contention. Finally, Appellant states that “tattooing is a ‘Form of pure expression’ protected
by our First Amendment Right...”, although she does not claim that any right has been violated.
Appellant’s appeal is without merit. As discussed below, the Planning Commission’s
decision was correct and I respectfully request that the City Council uphold that denial.
SUMMARY
The practice of Body Art raises serious health and safety concerns. As such, California
enacted the Safe Body Art Act (Cal Health & Saf Code §§ 119300 -119328.) in order to address
these concerns. The Body Art industry is regulated via the Safe Body Art Act and pursuant to
local and regional law in order to “protect both the practitioner and the client from transmission of
infectious diseases through the application of proper body art procedures and the control of cross-
contamination of instruments and supplies.” (Cal Health & Saf Code § 119300.)
Body Art laws properly regulate the facility, the business owner, and the practitioner.
These regulations include but are not limited to: extensive training, reporting, licensing,
registrations and documentation; strict compliance with building specifications; biohazard waste
disposal; records maintenance and retention; customer age limits; and limitations and restrictions
on facility locations and hours of operations.
Appellant’s claim that tattooing is protected by the First Amendment is of no consequence.
Activity protected by the First Amendment may be lawfully subject to time, place, and manner
restrictions. (See City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., 475 U.S. 41, 49-50, 106 S. Ct. 925, 89
L. Ed. 2d 29 (1986); see also 3570 E. Foothill Blvd., Inc. v. City of Pasadena, 912 F. Supp. 1268,
1273 (C.D. Cal. 1996) [“despite the fact that adult entertainment is protected by the First
Amendment, local governments do have the right to impose time, place, and manner
restrictions”].)
172
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 3
Any more than a person’s Second Amendment rights would mandate that the City allow a
person to use the prospective space as a shooting range, Appellant’s First Amendment Rights do
not permit her to circumvent the content-neutral time, place, and manner restrictions of the Safe
Body Art Act, the Orange County Health regulations, or the City of Newport Beach’s Minor Use
Permit Requirements.
The prospective space and building cannot meet the requirements of the Safe Body Art Act
or the Orange County Health regulations, even with extensive renovation, repair and remodeling.
Nor does the prospective space and building meet the Newport Beach Minor Use Permit
requirements.
In addition, Appellant’s and Applicant’s continuously changing proposed business
operations now appear to fall within the categories of “adult oriented business,” “Adult model
studio,” “Live art class,” all of which require the business to first obtain an adult oriented business
permit. (NB Muni. Code §§ 5.96.010, 5.96.015.)
The Application is so substantively and procedurally flawed, it would have been impossible
for the Planning Commission to approve it, and the appeal creates additional reasons that it too
must be denied.
1. The applicant is identified as an entity that does not exist;
2. The applicant failed to submit applications for all permits at once as required;
3. The appellant is not the applicant; suggested modifications, even if permissible, cannot
be made by someone other than the applicant;
4. The application does not provide correct information regarding the proposed building;
5. The application does not provide correct information regarding the proposed location
within the neighborhood;
6. The proposed facility does not and cannot meet the strict building standards required;
7. The proposed use does not comply with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code
or the Municipal Code;
8. The proposed design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are not
compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity;
9. The proposed site is not physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, or
operating characteristics;
173
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 4
10. The proposed site is not physically suitable in terms of the provisions of public and
emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access and public services and utilities;
11. Operation of the use at the location proposed would be detrimental to the harmonious
and orderly growth of the City;
12. Operation of the use at the location proposed would 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.
The above are but a few of the issues associated with the Application. Staff has not
evaluated the necessary requirements for the proposed space, and, at the least, the matter should
be sent back to Staff to evaluate the prospective space with regard to the requirements of body art
facilities as well as to evaluate the requirements and restrictions of holding art classes with minors
unaccompanied by their parents.
THE APPLICANT DOES NOT EXIST
The Newport Beach Staff Report indicates that a person named “Savaanah Gallegos” is the
applicant. (Staff Report Feb. 26 2019, ABSTRACT.) This is incorrect. Savaanah Gallegos is the
appellant. According to the City of Newport Beach, “E Art Gallery” is the applicant.
Unless the business is being operated as a sole proprietorship formed with a name that
includes the individual’s name (example: John Smiths Fishing Shop), a Fictitious Business Name
Statement (“FBN”) must be filed with the county where the principal place of business is located
California. (Cal Bus & Prof Code § 17900 et seq.) The Records of Orange County indicate that
no one has filed an FBN containing the phrase “E Art,” “E-Art,” or ‘E. Art.” (See attached search
results.) The Records of Orange County also indicate that neither Savaanah Gallegos (including
variations of this name) nor the other purported owner, Edgar Aguirre has ever filed any FBN in
Orange County. The California Secretary of State indicates that no LLC, LLP or corporation has
been registered to do business as “E Art Gallery,” “E-Art Gallery,” or ‘E. Art Gallery.” (See
attached search results.)
Unless a business contains the owner’s name(s), persons have no right to conduct business
in California unless they have filed the required forms with the appropriate agencies. (Cal Bus &
Prof Code § 17900 et seq.; Cal Corp. Code, §§ 100 et seq, 2200 et seq., 16105 et seq.)
174
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 5
Because “E Art Gallery” does not exist, it has no right to apply for or obtain any permit in
Newport Beach.
APPELLANT HAS NO RIGHT TO USE THE APPELLATE PROCESS
TO MODIFY THE APPLICATION
Appellant is Savaanah Garcia. (See Appeal Application.) Applicant is E Art Gallery. (See
application.) Appellant is not Applicant. A non-applicant may not modify an application.
The City Council should not consider Appellant’s proposed changes in scope. The review
authority shall consider the same application, plans, and project-related materials that were the
subject of the original decision, unless otherwise deemed relevant by the review authority. (NB
Muni. Code § 20.64.030 C.3.d.) Consideration may only be given so long as it does not change
the scope of an application. Here, Appellant has substantially modified the terms of the proposed
use as stated in (someone else’s) application.
Appellant claims that Applicant now wishes to hold art school classes, including “personal
one-on-one” classes to persons of “any age 10+,” which, Appellant claims, will be “hosted by”
“[a]n instructor or live model.” (Staff Report, Attachment G, Revised project description,” p.12-
157 [emphasis added].) Notably, the proposed space has three large windows (two windows with
dimensions 7’ x 6’ and one window with dimensions of 6.75’ x 4.5’), all of which have been
blacked out by Appellant. Given the fact that the proposed new use includes providing “classes,”
that are “hosted by live models,” to unaccompanied minors in a space with no view to the exterior
of the space, the proposed new use should be thoroughly reviewed by means of a new application,
with scrutiny of the nature of the “live modelling,” and classes.
The writer of this letter has not evaluated the laws regarding conducting art classes with
unaccompanied minors, but a cursory review of the law indicates, that, at the least, art or craft
materials that contain or that are presumed to contain an ingredient that is a toxic substance causing
chronic illness, may not be used in K–6 grade private schools. (Calif. Educ. Code §§32064-
32066.) And if the art displayed in the “gallery,” contains depictions of nudes or if the “live
models” proposed to be used for the “private” children’s art classes are nude, then additional
scrutiny of the proposed activities should be made and restrictions and prohibitions should be
175
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo

included in any permit to protect against criminal activity. (E.g. Pen. Code, §§ 266j [Procurement
of child], 311.2 [Production, distribution, or exhibition of obscene matter], 311.3 [Sexual
exploitation of child], 311.6 [Obscene live conduct], 313.1 [Distribution or exhibition of harmful
matter to minor]; 314 [indecent exposure]; 11165.1 [sexual exploitation of child]; and so forth].)
Because the City Staff has not addressed these important matters, the Appeal should not be granted.
In addition, the public has a right to know about, comment on and oppose this this new proposed
use. The applicant should be required to submit a new application that describes this new proposed
use and the matter should be properly noticed to permit public participation, to which the public is
entitled as a matter of law. On a related note, I had asked on several occasions, both by phone and
in writing, to be given notice of the date of this appeal. I was told by City Staff member Chelsea
Crager on several occasions that I would receive notice. I received no notice. I respectfully request
that, when a staff member promises to give notice, said staff member actually give notice.
THE CONTENTS OF THE APPLICATION AND THE APPEAL ARE INACCURATE
Both the plans submitted with the application and plans submitted with the appeal are
grossly inaccurate in both measurements and boundaries. As can be seen immediately by the
flawed plans, the overall square footage is grossly overstated. A quick counting of the squares in
the site plan in the Planning Commission staff report PowerPoint presentation indicates that the
proposed space is approximately 432 square feet. Yet page 4 of the PowerPoint presentation states
the square footage as “693 square feet.” Similarly, the square footage listed on Attachment H to
the staff report for the Appeal lists the square footage of the proposed site as “693 square feet.”
In addition, the proposed site boundaries depicted in the diagrams in Attachment H are
grossly inaccurate. The diagram on page 5 of Attachment H does not depict the actual boundaries
of the proposed site. This diagram shows the proposed site as containing space unrelated to the
proposed space and also shows two toilet facilities as being directly connected to the proposed
space. The building has only one operable toilet facility on the first floor, and it is not connected
to nor is it located adjacent to the proposed site.
176
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 7
The diagram on page 2 of Attachment H:
x is not drawn to scale;
x depicts a two-foot entrance doorway when in fact, the entrance doorway is six feet
wide and holds two in-swinging doors;
x overstates the project north boundary;
x indicates walls where there are none;
x overstates the size of the sink area;
x depicts circles that are roughly the size of a dinner plate as “tables;”
x depicts a “creative space,” the size of a closet (8’x9’) where art classes with as
many as 9 people are proposed to be conducted;
x indicates two toilet facilities and presents them as being part of the proposed space
when, in fact, there is only one toilet facility, which is shared by all tenants,
including at least one dwelling;
x overstates the size of the toilet facility; and
x does not accurately depict the location of or the means to access the toilet facility.
I have attached a corrected site plan. This plan accurately indicates:
x The square footage of the proposed space is approximately 417 square feet, which
is a little larger than a one-car garage and 276 square feet less than the size stated
in the staff report;
x the entrance to the proposed space is comprised of two 3-foot doors that swing into
the proposed space, which reduces the useable space to less than 400 square feet;
x the door to the toilet facility is 22 inches wide and swings outward into the 33-inch
hallway, toward the person attempting to enter the toilet facility;
x The toilet facility is located nearly twenty feet away (along a 33-inch hallway) from
the entrance to the proposed space.
The inaccuracies and inconsistencies are easily identifiable by a cursory examination. The
City staff should have caught the inaccuracies and demanded they be corrected before the
application was accepted. In addition, the City staff should have made a site visit to ensure the
drawings were correct.
Appellant also supports her appeal with false and inaccurate claims regarding other
businesses. Appellant’s claims regarding other businesses are of little consequence First, these
businesses either do not require special permits (Rockstars of Art) or have no similar issues with
177
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 8
the building or parking (Agape Art Collective). Second, complaining that one business is allowed
to operate does not make another business permissible.
More important are Appellant’s false and inaccurate statements regarding the other
business and the proposed business. Appellant falsely claims that Rockstars of Art does not have
off-street parking. I have attached a photo of the off-street parking for Rockstars of Art. Applicant
also falsely claims that Rockstars of Art is allowed “to bring in any amount of people for any event
at any time,” and that other businesses could “have [an] unlimited amount of staff and clients at
once”. Appellant’s ignorance of the occupancy load limits and parking requirements is troubling.
Finally, Appellant claims that the space proposed by “E Art Gallery,” at 2721 E. Coast Highway
has “unlimited” and “open” parking, when in fact it has no parking at all.
THE PROPOSED SPACE DOES NOT AND CANNOT COMPLY WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SAFE BODY ART ACT AND ORANGE COUNTY
HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
The regulations and restrictions on body art facilities and practitioners is very strict. For
example:
1. Body art facilities must
a. obtain and maintain a valid health permit;
b. obtain and operate under a valid infection prevention control plan;
c. have all registrations and permits displayed in a conspicuous space;
d. have sharps waste containers labeled with the words “sharps waste” or with the
international biohazard symbol and the word “BIOHAZARD.”
e. have floors, ceilings and walls that are smooth, nonabsorbent, free of open holes, and
washable;
f. have its own toilet facility and if associated with a dwelling, have a toilet facility
separate from the dwelling;
g. be separated from all business not related to body art, at the discretion of the local
enforcement agency;
h. maintain permanently installed sinks that comply will all building standards and that
have their own source of hot water;
i. comply with all current building codes;
178
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 9
It is impossible for the proposed space to meet nearly all of the above requirements.
x The Orange County Health permit will not issue at this location.
x The ceilings are rough, made of absorbent fibrous tile, are filled with holes and are
not washable. (See Photographs.)
x The walls are painted wallboard, which is not permissible material.
x The proposed space does not have its own toilet facility.
x The proposed space contains at least four other proposed businesses all in a one-
room 417 square-foot space, where 20 square feet are taken by the doorway, and
according to Applicant’s and Appellant’s drawings, 50 square feet will be used for
storage and 160 square feet will be used as the tattoo procedure area. This leaves
around 190 square feet for walkways, an art gallery, and an art classroom.
x the bar sink does not comply with the plumbing code.
In addition, among other things, at least one tenant lives in the building, and thus, the
building contains a dwelling unit. (NB Muni. Code § 20.70.020.) This dwelling utilizes the
building’s toilet facility as its bathroom. Therefore not only does the proposed space not have its
own toilet facility as required, the proposed communal building toilet facility is also a dwelling
toilet facility.
In addition, the non-conforming structure of the proposed space does not meet the building
standards. For example, the ceilings on the lower level are only 7”4’ high. Many building
hallways and doorways do not meet the building or ADA requirements. The sink in the proposed
space does not have its own water heater. The building does not have the required access between
floors. Although the City may permit non-conforming uses in some situations, it may not override
the requirements of the Safe Body Art Act that require tattoo facilities to comply with the building
standards. (Cal Health & Saf Code § 119324.) Because the proposed space cannot conform to the
building standards, it may not operate as a tattoo parlor. Similarly, because Appellant and
Applicant both failed to provide evidence that the proposed space complies with all requirements,
the application and the appeal must be denied.
THE PROPOSED SPACE DOES NOT AND CANNOT COMPLY WITH THE
179

Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo

Page 10
REQUIREMENTS FOR OBTAINING A MINOR USE PERMIT
The Application contained no evidence necessary to make any of the findings needed to
issue a minor use permit. Other than submitting a stack of pre-printed form letters purporting to
show support, Applicant proffered no evidence to prove any of the conditions necessary to receive
a minor use permit.
1. The Applicant must submit evidence to show that the proposed use complies with all other
applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code. (NB Muni Code § 20.52.020.)
Applicant provided nothing to make this showing. Applicant did not submit any proposed
construction plans, did not submit any proposed capacity, did not submit any analysis of parking
requirements. In fact, Applicant could not make this showing, as it would be impossible to meet
this requirement at this location. This building does not conform with the building or zoning
standards of the Municipal Code. If Applicant wished to utilize the non-conforming status of the
building Applicant was required to but did not, submit evidence that the use or structure was
lawfully established, erected, and maintained and is nonconforming by reason of adoption or
amendment of this Zoning Code or by reason of annexation of territory to the City. (NB Muni
Code § 20.38.030.) In addition, to the extent that the non-conforming laws apply, the construction
necessary to make the space useable for a tattoo parlor would require the space to become
conforming, which is not possible. (NB Muni Code § 20.38.040 [For any alterations beyond
routine repair or maintenance, the nonconforming structure shall be required to be brought into
compliance with all applicable standards and regulations of this Zoning Code].)
With respect to the Building Code and Fire Code, it is not possible for the building to meet
the building and fire standards, some of which are described in this letter. Unlike the Zoning Code,
there is no provision for a non-conforming use of a space that does not meet the building or fire
code standards.
With its 7’ 4” ceilings, 22” doorways, narrow hallways, lack of elevator, decades old
unpermitted construction and space reconfiguration, just to name a few items, it is impossible for
Applicant to meet this element with regard to the proposed space.

2. The Applicant must submit evidence to show that the design, location, size, and operating
characteristics of the use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity. Applicant did not
and cannot.
The location in the building is not compatible with the other businesses in the building.
Presently there are incompatible businesses such as a children’s tutoring business, a counselling
center and my law office. There are also two retail clothing stores, which are not compatible with
tattoo parlors. A block away, there are two other children’s tutoring centers (Mathnasium and
Kumon), a children’s barber (First Cut), and a children’s Taekwondo center (CDM Blackbelt
Center). None are compatible with tattoo parlors or live model private art classes.
In addition, of the current nine tenants in the building of the proposed space, there are
already three businesses that are categorized as “Restricted Use:” two day spas [La Vita Salon &
Spa, Suite 110 and Korean Beauty Skin, suite 204] and a nail salon [Ciel Bleu Nail Care suite 208].
Restricted uses are personal service establishments that may tend to have a blighting and/or
deteriorating effect upon surrounding areas and that may need to be dispersed from other similar
uses to minimize adverse impacts. (NB Muni Code § 20.70.020.) To permit half of the tenants in
this tightly packed building to be restricted use will not serve the purpose of disbursing restricted
use businesses.
3. The Applicant must submit evidence to show that 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. The Applicant did not.
As discussed above, the proposed uses within the proposed space itself are not compatible
with each other. (E.g. tattooing not compatible with minors, minors not compatible with adult live
models, live models not compatible with tattooing, tattooing not compatible with art supplies and
canvases, etc.) The small size of the proposed space is also not compatible with the proposed uses
within the proposed space (Art Gallery, Art Exhibitions and Art Classes in a closet, tattoo
procedure area open and not compatible with personal belongings and porous art canvasses).

4. The Applicant must submit evidence to show that the 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. The
Applicant did not.
The increase in traffic and parking is not compatible or in compliance with the Municipal
Code; it is not in keeping with the neighborhood and deprives residents of precious little parking
left. In addition, the proposed space is in a building that abuts a residential neighborhood. The
building is extremely close to other residential dwellings, both across the street and next door.
This further raises health and safety issues, especially because the waste receptacle for the building
is mere feet from one home.
In addition to the above, there is a very real health and safety problem with permitting a
tattoo parlor to operate in a non-conforming building. The Safe Body Art Act was enacted to
reduce the spread of blood-borne pathogens and other blood-borne diseases. Operating a tattoo
parlor in a building that lacks adequate toilet facilities, lacks access to the toilet facilities, lacks
adequate pathways, and has inadequate ventilation, low ceilings with absorbent, non-waterproof
ceiling tiles that traverse the suite boundaries into the hallways would create an unacceptable risk
to the other tenants as well as their customers. Where, as here, a building cannot comply with the
requirements of the Safe Body Art Act, then operating a tattoo parlor in that building would be
unsafe.
APPELLANT’S AND APPLICANT’S PROPOSED USES REQUIRE MORE THAN JUST
A MINOR USE PERMIT.
Appellant and/or applicant seeks to offer classes using live models. “Adult model studio”
means any premises where there is furnished, provided or procured a figure model or models who
pose in any manner which is characterized by its emphasis on matter depicting, describing or
relating to specified sexual activities or specified anatomical parts where such model(s) is being
observed or viewed by any person for the purpose of being sketched, painted, drawn, sculptured,
photographed, filmed, or videotaped for a fee, or any other thing of value, as a consideration,
compensation or gratuity for the right or opportunity to so observe the model or remain on the
182

Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo

premises. “Adult-oriented business” includes a business establishment that performs as an adult
model studio. “Live art class” means any premises on which all of the following occur: there is
conducted a program of instruction involving the drawing, photographing or sculpting of live
models exposing specified anatomical parts; instruction is offered in a series of at least two classes;
the instruction is offered indoors; an instructor is present in the classroom while any participants
are present; and preregistration is required at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance of
participation in the class. (NB Muni. Code, § 5.96.010.) Adult Model studios require an adult
oriented business permit, which may only be issued upon the applicant’s proof of certain
requirements. (NB Muni. Code, §§ 5.96.015, 5.96.025.) Neither Applicant nor Appellant has
applied for such permit. Even if Applicant or Appellant had applied for such permit, no permit
could be issued, for, among other reasons the fact that:
x Tattooing is not allowed on the same premises as an adult oriented business;
x the premises cannot comply with the development and design requirements of the
zone in which it is to be located for the specific underlying use, as required;
x the premises do not have separate restroom facilities for male and female patrons,
as required;
x Minors must not be permitted to enter, which would preclude
Applicant/Appellant’s intent to provide private art lessons to minors;
x Applicant/Appellant intends to stage special events, which would increase the
parking demand, which is prohibited
(NB Muni. Code, § 5.96.025)
Applicant was also required to apply for and obtain either a building permit or a zoning
clearance. (NB Mui. Code § 20.52.100.) Applicant did not. Had applicant applied for either a
building permit or a Zoning Clearance, Applicant would have realized that the proposed uses
cannot be permitted at this location.
THE PROPOSED USES IMPERMISSIBLY INCREASE PARKING REQUIREMENTS
FOR AN ESTABLISHMENT IN A BUILDING WITH NO PARKING
2721 E. Coast Highway has no on-site parking. Subject to exceptions not available here,
only those new business uses that require no more than one space per 250 square feet and that do

not do not increase the parking capacity may operate at this location. (NB Muni Code, §§
20.38.010 et seq., 2138.010 et seq.) Fractional parking space requirements shall be rounded up to
the next whole space. If more than one use is located on a site, the number of required off-street
parking spaces shall be equal to the sum of the requirements prescribed for each use. (NB Muni
Code, § 20.40.020.) Here, the proposed space is approximately 417 sq. ft. Per section 20.40.040
and Table 3-10, Applicant and Appellant’s proposed uses require the following parking spaces
Business Type Off-street parking
requirement
Number of spaces required
for proposed space
Adult-Oriented Businesses 1 per 1.5 occupants1 or as
required by conditional use

62
Retail Sales (Art Gallery) 1 per 250 sq. ft. 2
Studio (dance, music, and
similar)
1 per 250 sq. ft. 2
Personal Services 1 per 250 sq. ft. 2
TOTAL 1 per 40 sq. ft. 12
Applicant and Appellant’s proposed uses violate even the non-conforming use parking
requirements and cannot be approved. Moreover, nonconforming parking is only allowed where
the building does not conform only with respect to the parking requirements. In this building,
there are several non-conforming issues. The toilet facilities do not comply with the building
standards, as they are not handicap accessible, they do not have smooth impervious surfaces
surrounding the sink and toilet and they are only 4.75 ft. by 5 ft. in size. The doorways are less
than 24 inches wide, the hallways connecting the bathrooms to the other portions of the building
are only 33 inches wide, and the door to the lower level toilet facility swings out into the hallway
1 maximum occupancy allowed (NB Muni. Code, § 20.40.030.)

in front of the bathroom, which leaves less than 12 inches of clearance to pass to enter the toilet
facility. The ceiling heights are 7 ft. 4 in. high. on the lower level. These are but a few of the non-
conforming qualities of the building.
In addition, any increase in occupancy load is permitted only upon issuance of a conditional
use permit, and Applicant/Appellant have not applied for or obtained any such permit. (NB Muni
Code, § 20.38.050.)
BECAUSE THE APPLICANT AND ITS PURPORTED OWNERS FAILED TO SUBMIT
AN ACCURATE TRUTHFUL APPLICATION, AND BECAUSE THE PURPORTED
OWNERS OF THE BUSINESS HAVE FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE MOST
BASIC OF REQUIREMENTS, THEY HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY WILL BE UNABLE
OR UNWILLING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SAFE BODY
ART ACT AND ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
The regulations and restrictions on body art facilities owners and practitioners are very
strict. For example:
2. Body art facility owners must
a. maintain a list of all current and prior body art practitioners operating in the facility and
notify the local agency writing within 30 days of the resignation, termination, or new
hire of a body art practitioner at the body art facility;
b. submit plans to the Plan Review Unit of the local enforcement agency. The plans shall
be approved in advance of the issuance of a building, plumbing, or electrical permit;
c. maintain and follow a written Infection Prevention and Control Plan pursuant to Health
and Safety Code section 119313;
d. provide initial and annual in-person, site-specific training to every employee on the
hazards and the protective measures to be taken to minimize the risk of occupational
exposure to blood and OPIM;
e. maintain and follow a written Exposure Control And Prevention in compliance with
OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030);
f. train all personnel regarding the facility’s Infection Prevention and Control Plan, and
maintain logs of the training;
g. Dispose of waste by a licensed waste hauler. Materials shall be disposed of by disposal
after an approved method of decontamination, by disposal at a licensed treatment
facility, or by removal and transportation through a mail-back system authorized by the
State Department of Public Health;
h. maintain records of all sharps waste for three years.

3. Body art Practitioners must
a. be at least 18 years old;
b. satisfactorily complete OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Training
pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (2) of subdivision (g) of Section 5193 of
Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, or its successor. (Cal Health & Saf Code
§ 119307 [this requirement applies to all practitioners, employees and volunteers]);
c. either be vaccinated against hepatitis B or satisfy all vaccination declination
requirements;
d. be registered with the County where they practice;
e. commit to meet state law and relevant local regulations pertaining to body art safety.
Appellant claims that “the facility will be regularly inspected to ensure a sterile work
environment, as well as meet [sic] all health regulations set by California Safe Body-Art Act.”
(Staff Report Attachment G [Revised Project Description], page 2.) Appellant is wrong.
Unfortunately, the reality is that the regulatory agencies are overworked and understaffed. As
such, inspections rarely occur and the body art industry is virtually self-regulated. As stated in the
most recent Law Review Article regarding Tattoos:
California requires that tattoo parlors register with the county in which they
operate, and requires counties to perform annual inspections of tattoo parlors.
Cal. Health & Safety Code §§119300-09 (West 2012). However, neither Los
Angeles County nor Orange County require anything approaching annual
inspections, and in an era of year-after-year budget cuts, it is doubtful that other
counties will comply either. In Los Angeles County, which is the most populous
county in the United States, there is one county tattoo inspector to monitor at
least 300 tattoo parlors and 850 tattoo artists. See Anderson, 621 F.3d at 1056.
"Many tattoo parlors [in Los Angeles County] have never been inspected and
are subject to no regulations other than the requirement to register with the
County." Id. Indeed, Prix Body Piercing, a tattoo parlor on the famous Colorado
Boulevard in Pasadena, California, has been inspected twice in the last eleven
years. Interview with Eddie "EdD" Herrera, supra note 178. The inspector
ensured that there was soap and running water in the bathroom, hand sanitizer in
the parlor, and a sterilizer. Id. The inspector did not examine whether the
sterilizer was plugged in or in working order. Id. Tellingly, the "Body Art and
Tattoo" link on the "Permits and Licenses" page of the Los Angeles County
municipal website has been inoperative since at least March, 2011. LA County
Business, http://lacounty.gov/wps/portal/lac/business/ (last visited Apr. 12,

In addition, the City’s own inspectors have not addressed the existing or past violations in
this building or others. For example, several buildings have had unpermitted construction ongoing
for many months without one violation. At least one tenant of this building resides in his/her
commercial space; in others, doors and windows have been walled over and obstructed, without
violation. We cannot expect the City inspectors or the Orange County Health Department to
constantly police a basement commercial space that has all exterior windows obstructed.
Ms. Gallegos’s promise to abide by the law is of no comfort. Because Ms. Gallegos and/or
Mr. Aguirre have been unable to comply with the basics of creating the business entity “E Art
Gallery,” because both applicant and Appellant have submitted plans that do not portray the actual
premises, skew the scale, and falsely state the square footage of the proposed premises, there is
good reason to believe that she/he/they will be unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements
of the Safe Body Art Act and the Orange County Health requirements.
HAD THE APPLICANT FOLLOWED THE PROCEDURAL RULES, IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN CLEAR SOONER THAT THE APPLICATION SHOULD BE DENIED
Any applicant for a project requiring more than one permit application (e.g., conditional
use permit, site development review, tentative map, etc.) shall file all related applications
concurrently, with all appropriate application fees. (NB Muni. Code § 2050.030.)
Had Applicant filed all necessary applications concurrently (minor use permit, conditional
use permit, adult oriented business permit, building permit and Zoning Clearance), then we would
not be here, because the City Staff would have seen that the Applicant’s proposed uses are not
permissible in this building.
Thank you for considering this objection to the Appeal of Samantha Gallegos regarding
the Planning Commission’s proper denial of “E Art Gallery’s” minor use permit application. For
the reasons above and more, I urge the City of Newport Beach and this Honorable City Council to
deny the Appeal.
Yours truly,

ABSTRACT:
February 26, 2019
Agenda Item No. 12
HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Seimone Jurjis, Community Development Director - 949-644-3232,

Appeal of Planning Commission's Denial of a Minor Use Permit
No. UP2018-014 for E. Art Gallery (PA2018-177)
On December 6, 2018 the Planning Commission denied a Minor Use Permit (MUP)
application for tattoo services located 2721 East Coast Highway, Suite 104. Savaanah
Gallegos, the applicant, filed an appeal (Attachment A) of the Planning Commission's
denial. The applicant requests the City Council reverse the Planning Commission's
decision and approve the appeal of the Minor Use Permit.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Conduct a de novo public hearing;
b) Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it
has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and
c) Adopt Resolution No. 2019-19, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach, California, Reversing the Decision of the Planning Commission and Approving
the Appeal of Minor Use Permit No. UP2018-014 for a Tattoo Studio (Personal
Services, Restricted Use) Located at 2721 East Coast Highway, Suite 104 (PA2018-
177).
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
DISCUSSION:
On December 6, 2018, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on a MUP
application for tattoo services. The MUP application is a request to operate a tattoo studio
Personal Services, Restricted land use) in conjunction with an artist gallery/studio within an
existing 693 -square -foot commercial tenant space. The artist studio/art gallery is a permitted
use and approval of use permit is not required.

As proposed by the applicant and pursuant to conditions of approval included in the draft
resolution for approval, the tattoo aspect of the business would consist of two workstations
with a maximum of two tattoo artists working at the same time. The artists would operate
by appointments only, with no "walk-in" services offered. The hours of operation are
proposed to be between the hours of 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., daily. The art gallery/studio aspect
of the business will include painting and figurative drawing classes, painting on canvas,
and commissioned artwork.
After listening to public testimony and Planning Commission discussion, the Planning
Commission determined the use would be incompatible with the surrounding
neighborhood and voted 3-2 denying Minor Use Permit No. UP2018-014 (MUP) by
adopting Resolution No. PC2018-032 (Attachment B). The Planning Commission found
the following facts not supporting the MUP:
1. The establishment of a tattoo studio would not be consistent with the provisions of
the Zoning Code;
2. The request may lead to a proliferation of personal services;
3. The site is not physically suitable for the operation of a personal service; and,
4. The use may impact surrounding residential neighborhoods.
On December 20, 2018, the applicant filed an appeal the decision of denial alleging the
Planning Commission did not provide sufficient facts to support the decision to deny the
application.
The December 6, 2018, Planning Commission meeting minutes are included as
Attachment C. A full and complete analysis of the proposed use is provided in the
attached Planning Commission staff report as Attachment D.
Appeal
The applicant contends the Planning Commission did not provide sufficient facts to
support its decision to deny the application. The appellant states their belief that the use
is compatible with surrounding land uses, will not cause negative parking impacts, and
that tattooing is a form of expression protected by the First Amendment. Additionally, the
applicant has submitted an updated project description which states that no tattooing
appointments would take place with unaccompanied minors present.
Staff Analysis
The applicant's appeal primarily focuses on three items of note: that the use is compatible
with surrounding land uses, that it will not negatively impact parking demand, and that
tattooing is protected under the First Amendment. Staff considered these issues in the
recommendation to Planning Commission for approval.
Pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Chapter 20.70 (Definitions), tattoo
services are defined as a "personal services, restricted" land use:

Personal service establishments that may tend to have a blighting and/or
deteriorating effect upon surrounding areas and that may need to be dispersed
from other similar uses to minimize adverse impacts, including:
a. Day spas.
b. Healing arts (acupuncture, aromatherapy, etc.) with no services qualifying
under "Massage establishments. "
C. Tanning salons.
d. Tattoo services and body piercing studios.
These uses may also include accessory retail sales of products related to the
services provided."
There are five tattoo studios currently operating within the City (Attachment E): three on
the Balboa Peninsula, one in Newport Shores, and one recently approved in Newport
Heights. Of the five, the nearest is Agape Art Collective, located approximately four miles
away in Newport Heights on Old Newport Boulevard. Therefore, the proposed project
would be the first tattoo establishment in Corona del Mar.
Pursuant to Municipal Code Sections 20.40.040 and 21.40.040 (Off -Street Parking Spaces
Required), retail, personal service, general (barber and beauty shops) uses and art studios
require parking at a rate of one space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. The
existing multi -tenant commercial building is legal non -conforming because there are no
parking spaces provided onsite. Municipal Code Sections 20.38.060(B)(1) and
21.38.060(B)(1) (Nonconforming Parking) allow a building with nonconforming parking to
change to a new use without providing additional parking provided there is no intensification
or enlargement and the new use requires no more than one parking space for every 250
square feet of gross area. The proposed use would be located in an existing tenant space
and complies with these parking standards.
Federal Law
Federal courts have ruled that tattooing and the display of tattoos are rights protected by the
First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Therefore, the City Council's action must
be based upon content -neutral time, place, and manner restrictions involving potentially
detrimental factors such as increased traffic, health concerns, noise, odors, etc. that cannot
be mitigated or avoided with reasonable conditions of approval or design modification.
Staff believes sufficient facts exist in support of each finding required by NBMC Section
20.52.020.E (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use Permits) for approval. As proposed
and conditioned, the use is expected to operate in an effective and non -detrimental manner
that would be compatible with the surrounding commercial tenants and commercial uses in
the area.

Alternatives
The following alternatives are available to the City Council:
The City Council may require or suggest specific changes that are necessary to
alleviate any identified concerns. If the requested changes are substantial, staff
will return with a revised resolution incorporating new findings and/or conditions.
2. If the City Council believes there are insufficient facts to support the findings for
approval, the Council needs to identify the reasons approval would be detrimental
to or incompatible with the community based upon factors other than a protected
right.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this project 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.
The Class 1 exemption includes the ongoing use of an existing building where there is
negligible or no expansion of use. The proposed project will allow the operation of a tattoo
studio and art gallery/studio in an existing commercial tenant space.
If the City Council chooses to deny the appeal and uphold the decision of the Planning
Commission, the project is not subject to CEQA pursuant to Section 15270 of the CEQA
Guidelines.
NOTICING:
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).

E Art Gallery has been denied by the Planning Commission to obtain a Minor Use Permit for Tattoo
Services (Personal Services, Restricted Land Use) on December 6th, 2018. C®W%@liners who were in
opposition didn't give elaborate reasons for denial and wrongly dem%gaaevidence.
Savaanah Gallegos, owner of E Art Gallery, is appealing to City CouncildutWFAis Neeption of the
business and unclear reasons spoken during the Public Hearing. Parking and incompatibility with
surrounding businesses were main issues, as well as art classes consisting children, present during tattoo
appointments.
Parking is a main concern for every business in Corona del Mar. E Art Gallery is controlling the parking by
setting restrictions; hence prohibited Walk-ins, Appointment only, No Piercing, strict business hours (10
AM- 8 PM), and restrictions on the number of artists to be allowed to tattoo at once (2 artists) set by
Savaanah and Staff conditions of approval. These restrictions allow control of the parking in that area,
where if a similar business (hair salon, art gallery, barber shop, etc.) could potentially occupy the same
space and have unlimited amount of staff and clients at once. (I.E.) "Rockstars of Art" is an Art Gallery in
Corona Del Mar, half a mile from E Art Gallery, whom also doesn't have designated parking and, by right,
is not controlled by strict business hours or restricted amount of staff, which allows that business to
bring in any amount of people for any event, at any time. (I.E.) The previous "tattoo studio" Agape Art
Collective, approved for a minor use permit recently in 2018, was often compared to E Art Gallery.
Agape was approved with similar staff recommendations, although their parking is only 30 minutes,
where E Art Gallery's parking is open and unlimited, unless street sweep hours are occurring.
There were comments made by Chairman Kleiman and Koettling about incompatibility to surrounding
businesses, "I can't make the findings on compatibility in this area." Both owners of E Art Gallery
conducted personal, public outreach, by petition, and received over 60+ approval signatures in Corona
Del Mar, within just two days, including all neighbors in the same building (all petitions are attached to
official planning commission staff report). To my understanding, E Art Gallery is compatible with other
businesses in this area, especially considering staff recommendations of approval and findings. The
location is completely obscure from the public and business signs will be very miniscule and
inconspicuous. There are many personal services; cosmetology offices, hair salons, nail salons, yoga,
healing arts and massage parlors in the surrounding area, which are mostly by appointment only and
similar business hours, with no parking structure.
Comment also made by Koettling, "I think it will, -1 think it could bring the wrong element." This
assumption was unclear as to what he meant, discriminatory or not. Under Federal Law, tattooing is a
Form of pure expression" protected by our First Amendment Right, and over 45 Million people in the
United States have tattoos. E Art Gallery is not in favor of the 'undesirables' Koettling is referring to,
otherwise E Art Gallery would easily open business in an undesirable place such as Los Angeles, Las
Vegas or any other similar, open city. Corona del Mar is an ideal environment, as it is quiet and peaceful,
and all staff of E Art Gallery will maintain the high-class, professional image. Savaanah and Edgar spoke
to all surrounding neighbors and received no complaints of loitering, loud noise or music, or anything to
detriment the city in the nine months they've been leasing this location, and they will continue to
maintain this presence. Comment made by Commissioner Kory Kramer, "You can make the same
12-7240
argument that personal bias should not enter in to your decision in terms of this as well, like I said I am
in favor of given the data we have received.... "
E Art Gallery will offer small, intimate art classes consisting of up to 7 artists and one model. One-on-one
art classes will also be offered. To alleviate concerns about children, present during tattoo
appointments, Savaanah is willing to take on additional conditions of approval; No tattoo appointments
during art classes of any type. Unaccompanied minors (people under 18) are not permitted in the
establishment during tattoo appointments.
In conclusion, E Art Gallery will abide by all health codes set by Orange County Health Department, state
laws, and regulations set by the city of Newport Beach.

ITEM NO. 2 NEWPORT CROSSINGS MIXED-USE PROJECT (PA2017-107)
Site Location: 1701 Corinthian Way
Summary:
Development of a mixed-use residential project consisting of 350 residential dwelling units, 7,500 square
feet of commercial space and a 0.5 -acre public park. An existing commercial center called MacArthur
Square that is located on the 5. 7 -acre project site would be demolished. Project implementation requires
the approval of the Site Development Review, Lot Line Adjustment and Affordable Housing
Implementation Plan.
1 of 12
12-15251
NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION 12/06/2018
Senior Planner Jaime Murillo reported the project site is located in the Airport Area, with John Wayne Airport to
the west and the City of Irvine to the north and east. The Airport Area is predominantly developed with office uses
and commercial and industrial uses. The General Plan Update, in 2006, identified the Airport Area as an area for
potential redevelopment of underutilized sites for mixed-use residential development. The project site is located
within the Newport Place Planned Community, which was developed in the early 1970s for office, retail, and hotel
uses. In 2012, the Planned Community was amended to include a residential development overlay that allows the
development of residential projects with a component of affordable housing. Projects with 30 percent of the units
reserved for low-income households can be developed within the Newport Place Planned Community.
The Uptown Newport mixed-use project is the first residential project approved in the Airport Area and is under
construction. The project site is currently developed as MacArthur Square Shopping Center and contains three
parcels totaling 5.69 acres. MacArthur Square Shopping Center contains 58,277 square feet of retail and
commercial uses in eight single -story buildings. The project proposes the shopping center be demolished and
replaced with a mixed-use development. The development consists of 350 rental residential units, of which 259
are considered base units and 91 are considered density bonus units; 7,500 square feet of nonresidential
development, of which 2,000 square feet will be used for a casual restaurant use and 5,500 square feet for general
commercial and retail uses; and a half -acre public park. The General Plan and the Planned Community limit the
density to be trip neutral and cannot exceed a maximum density of 50 dwelling units per acre. After deducting the
half acre for the park, the remaining project site contains 5.19 acres. Multiplying 5.19 acres by 50 units (the
maximum density) results in 259 dwelling units. However, because the project contains 78 affordable units,
consistent with the residential overlay of the Planned Community, the project is eligible for a density bonus under
the Newport Beach Municipal Code and the State Density Bonus Law. The project is eligible for the maximum
density bonus, which is 35 percent of the number of base units or 91 bonus units. The residential units will wrap
around a central parking structure comprised of six levels and up to 740 parking spaces. The commercial
component of the project is located at the intersection of Martingale Way and Corinthian Way. Vehicular access
will be through two driveways, one off Martingale Way and one off Scott Drive. The public park will be located on
the southern portion of the site. The park will be dedicated to the City and be improved and maintained by the
developer. Park amenities include a dog park, a bocce ball court, a pickleball court, a play lawn and playground
structure, a fitness terrace, a dining terrace, and seating walls. The Recreation and Senior Services Department
has reviewed and supports the plan. Staff will present the park design to the Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Commission for review and recommendations on February 5, 2019, and return to the Planning Commission in
February or March 2019. The residential buildings will have four and five -level facades that screen the central
parking structure. For the Planning Commission's future consideration are applications for site development
review, lot line adjustment, and Affordable Housing Implementation Plan (AHIP). The Newport Place Planned
Community Residential Overlay is required by the City's Housing Element, provides zoning, and is intended to
eliminate development constraints to affordable housing. The standards allow development of up to 50 dwelling
units per acre plus any additional units allowed through a density bonus; require a minimum 30 -foot setback from
streets and 10 -foot setbacks from interior property lines; establishes a 55 -foot height limit; allows a greater height
limit through site development review; requires a higher level of amenities; and ensures neighborhood integration.
The mixed-use development site will be divided into two parcels, one for the development and one for emergency
access and parking for the public park. The third parcel consisting of 0.5 acre will be the public park. The AHIP
will ensure development includes the minimum 30 -percent (78 units) allocation for low-income units. By providing
affordable housing, the project is eligible for the 91 unit density bonus and entitled to reduced residential parking
ratios, two development incentives, and a development waiver. Using the density bonus standard, the total number
of required parking spaces is 474; however, the project proposes 661 parking spaces. The applicant requests
only one development incentive to modify an overlay requirement such that the project could have a higher
allocation of studio and one -bedroom units. The applicant requests a waiver of the 55 -foot height limit to allow
rooftop features consisting of elevator shafts, stair towers, mechanical equipment, the highest level of the parking
deck, and a rooftop amenity. PlaceWorks has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the
project, and the DEIR was released for public review on November 30, 2018. Potential significant impacts were
identified in the DEIR areas of air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, hazards and hazardous
materials, and public services; however, mitigation measures can reduce the potential impacts to less than
significant levels. The public comment period for the DEIR ends on January 14, 2019.
Dan Vittone of Starboard Realty Partners, the applicant, advised that the prior owner of the site submitted an
application to develop a mixed-use project, and the Planning Commission denied the application in 2016. With
respect to concerns raised regarding the prior application, the Newport Crossings project will adhere to and exceed
setback requirements; comply with the 55 -foot height limit in all livable areas; have approximately 50 -percent more
2of12
12-16252
NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION 12/06/2018
retail space than the prior application; dedicate a public park to the City; have approximately 10 percent fewer units
than the prior application; and the architecture and design of the project will be compatible with the surrounding
development.
R.C. Alley, project architect, noted the site has five sides and four street fronts. The greatest visibility of the site is
on Corinthian Way. Retail spaces are located along Corinthian Way and are designed to fit a variety of uses. A
plaza along Corinthian Way will be a good space for people to gather. Retail parking is located within the parking
structure. With a central above -grade parking structure, a resident can park on the floor of the parking structure
that corresponds to the floor of his residence. The project will have 30 -foot setbacks along Scott Drive, and ground -
floor residential units will have stoops to the street. Along the southern end of Scott Drive, the building will step
down and have a notch to vary the building mass. Buildings along Dove Street will step down to four stories. The
recreation area of the project opens visually into the park. A vehicular entrance is located on Martingale Way,
where most residents and retail users will enter the project. The leasing center will also be located off Martingale
Way. The site is surrounded by many different types of projects. No buildings of a traditional style are located in
the area of the project; thus, a soft contemporary style will be appropriate for the site. From Corinthian Way and
Martingale Way, the focal point will be the retail space. An open walkway from the plaza to parking will separate
the retail space into two components. The project will have a pool, a club and exercise facility, and a pet spa.
Matt Jackson, project landscape architect, indicated the park will not be fenced or gated and will have exercise
areas, a gathering space, a divided dog park, a pickle ball court, a tot lot, a bocce ball court, and seating areas.
In response to Commissioner Koetting's and Vice Chair Weigand's questions, Senior Planner Murillo explained
that, through the conditions of approval, the developer will enter into an agreement with the City regarding the
park. The City will own the park, and the developer will construct the park and improvements, pay for the
improvements, and maintain the park. The maintenance period will be indefinite. Deputy Community
Development Director Campbell added that the arrangement will be the same as the arrangement for the Uptown
Newport project. City Traffic Engineer Tony Brine indicated staff will monitor parking on Martingale once the project
is fully occupied. Parking could be reviewed for time restrictions or parking restrictions. Senior Planner Murillo
related that are four parking spaces devoted to park parking, one of which is an ADA space with a loading area.
Any parking area is required to have at least one ADA space. The City will have an easement for emergency
access and parking for the park. The space for emergency access can be used as flexible park space.
Vice Chair Weigand preferred an evaluation of parking occur while the project is under construction.
Commissioner Koetting suggested the applicant consider a fence between the park and the office building to the
south to prevent park users from parking at the office building. Staff should invite neighboring property owners to
the February meeting with the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission.
In reply to Commissioner Koetting's inquiries, Mr. Alley advised that the project will have three floors of residential
units above retail space. Generally, the retail spaces will be 19 feet tall. The roof deck will extend above the 55 -
foot height limit as shown on page A.2.7 of the project plans. Mr. Vittone reported 2,000 of the 7,500 square feet
of retail space will be occupied by a casual restaurant. The remaining retail space will probably be occupied by
ancillary services that benefit the residents. He wanted to find a grocer for 3,000-4,000 square feet of the space.
Most of the existing landscaping and the berms will remain. The project will have 78 units of low-income housing,
and the applicant has requested an incentive to allow a disproportionate share of studio and one -bedroom units.
For a two-bedroom, two -bathroom unit containing approximately 1,150 square feet, the applicant can charge rent
of $1,080 per month inclusive of a utility allowance. The cost of the 78 units will be approximately $37 million.
Given the cost and rental income, the profit will be approximately $4,000 per unit per year. Mr. Murillo explained
that households earning up to 80 percent of the area median income (AMI) for Orange County will be eligible for
some units, and households earning up to 60 percent of AMI will be eligible for other units. Units will not be
uniquely designated as affordable, and all units in the project will have the same interior finishes and access to
amenities.
Commissioner Kramer noted his criticisms of the prior application for the site and favored the intelligent design,
the wrap structure, the siting of the retail space, and the design of the park in the current application. He supported
the project.

NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION 12/06/2018
Commissioner Koetting liked the setbacks along the streets because proper tree sizes can be planted in the larger
space.
Vice Chair Weigand opened the public hearing.
Dorothy Kraus, SPON Vice President, remarked that SPON prefers projects of this scale and scope be considered
after the City updates its General Plan and creates a specific plan for the Airport Area. The Newport Crossings
team has been open to dialog and willing to apply feasible solutions to issues of mutual interest. SPON will
continue to interact with the team to address issues.
Linda Tang, Kennedy Commission, urged the Planning Commission to support the project. The project will provide
much-needed affordable homes for lower-income households. The development will provide a community benefit
and ease housing needs for low-income households.
Greg Endsley commented that he worked with many business owners in selecting an office space. A key
consideration for business owners is housing for their employees. Businesses will welcome the project because
of its location in the area and the supply of housing.
Carol Dru expressed concern regarding the children of the project attending Newport Beach schools. The park
will have little space for the tot lot and play areas.
Jodi Estwick, People for Housing Orange County, encouraged the Planning Commission to approve the project
as the project complies with requirements. The City of Newport Beach needs more housing units.
Rick Roshan expressed concern regarding the number of parking spaces provided by the project as on -street
parking is not allowed in the area.
Vice Chair Weigand closed the public hearing
In response to comments, Planner Murillo reported any students residing within the project will attend schools in
the Santa Ana Unified School District. The City requires 2.5 parking spaces per unit in a multifamily development
containing more than four units. Without the density bonus, the project would be required to provide 875 spaces.
Under the State Density Bonus Law, the applicant may request a reduced parking ratio, and the City has to grant
the request. Under the reduced parking ratios, the applicant is required to provide one parking space per studio
or one -bedroom unit and two spaces per two-bedroom unit, which equates to 474 parking spaces for the project.
The applicant proposes 661 parking spaces.
Vice Chair Weigand concurred with Commissioner Kramer's comments regarding the project. He commended
the project team for engaging with community members.
Commissioner Koetting advised that he read most of the DEIR and was amazed that the project had few
environmental impacts.
VIII. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
ITEM NO. 3 E ART GALLERY (PA2018-177)
Site Location: 2721 East Coast Highway, Suite 104
Summary:
A request for a minor use permit to operate a tattoo studio (Personal Services, Restricted land use)
and art gallery with art classes, within an existing commercial tenant space. Proposed hours of
operation would be 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily.
Recommended Action:
1. Conduct a public hearing.
2. Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines because it has not potential to have a
significant effect on the environment; and,
4of12
12-18254
NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION 12/06/2018
3. Adopt Resolution No. PC2018-032 approving Minor Use Permit No. UP2018-014.
Principal Planner Gregg Ramirez reported the applicant requests a minor use permit to establish an art
studio/gallery with a tattoo component in an existing tenant space of a two-story, multi -tenant commercial building.
There is no onsite parking for the site. Because the proposed use has a parking ratio of one parking space per
250 square feet of floor area, the use is allowed without a parking waiver. The property is located in a Commercial
Corridor Zoning District and is surrounded by Public Institutions (PI) and R-2 Zoning Districts. The art studio/gallery
is permitted by right within the Commercial Corridor Zoning District, but the tattoo component requires approval of
a minor use permit. Proposed hours of operation are 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily. The use would offer art
instruction and classes and tattoos by appointment only with a maximum of two artists. Appointment -only tattoos
and the maximum number of 2 tattoo artists are recommended conditions of approval. The multi -tenant
commercial building houses fitness studio, office, retail, and other personal services uses. Adjacent properties
have retail clothing, personal services, physical therapy, and general office uses. The tenant space is not visible
from Coast Highway. In 2010, a federal appeals court ruled that tattoos and tattooing are forms of pure expression
and fully protected by the First Amendment. Therefore, a ban on this type of land use is unconstitutional. A city
can place some restrictions on the use but cannot ban the use. The California Safe Body Art Act is regulated by
the County. The Newport Beach Zoning Code categorizes tattoo as a personal service, restricted and requires
the approval of a minor use permit. One consideration in reviewing tattoo uses is other similar uses in the area or
the proximity to other uses. The proposed project would be the first tattoo use in the Corona del Mar area. Staff
recommends the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing, find the project exemptfrom CEQA, and approve
minor use permit 2018-014.
Savannah Gallegos, applicant, proposed the expansion of E Art Gallery to provide body art tattoo services. She
has leased the site for eight months and utilized the space for painting, drawing, and conducting small consultations
for art. The studio will continue to offer painting classes and to create art commissioned through various media.
Business will be conducted privately and by appointment only between 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Sunday through
Saturday. Only two artists will tattoo at one time, and any walk-in customers will be scheduled for an appointment
to come back at a later date. She plans to schedule two art classes per month with five to seven artists and one
model. Each class will be scheduled for three hours, and no body art appointments will be scheduled during art
classes. One-on-one art classes will be available and will be scheduled for a maximum of two hours. Art shows
will be scheduled once or twice a month as invitation -only or RSVP -only viewings. Currently, five tattoo shops are
located in Newport Beach. The closest tattoo shops are located 4.5 miles north and almost 5 miles south of the
project site, which indicates there is no saturation of tattoo services in Corona del Mar. Her clients are
recommended by referral and word of mouth. She has not used social media and foot traffic as tools to increase
her clientele, but she has used social media for portfolio purposes. Children under 18 years of age are not
permitted in the studio during tattoo appointments unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Drugs and
alcohol are prohibited in the studio. She has obtained more than sixty signatures of support and an enormous
amount of positive feedback regarding her business. She has spoken with her landlord and businesses in the
building and received no complaints regarding noise or loitering. She accepts staffs recommendations.
Commissioners disclosed no ex parte communications.
In response to Commissioners' queries, Ms. Gallegos advised that she is not tattooing in Newport Beach currently
but utilizing the project site as an art studio. Regarding the proposed appointment only aspect of the tattoo portion
of the business she explained that if a potential customer walks in for a tattoo, she will provide a brief consultation
of 5- 10 minutes and schedule an appointment at a later time for the tattoo. Deputy Community Development
Director Campbell confirmed that tattoos were scheduled by appointment only in the Agape Studio application for
a tattoo use. Ms. Gallegos explained that tattoos can be performed with metal equipment, which requires a sanitary
station to clean the equipment. She prefers to use plastic equipment that can be placed in the trash. Signage will
not advertise tattoos but will list the business name. Mr. Ramirez indicated the Zoning Code allows uses on the
site when there is nonconforming parking or no onsite parking as long as the uses have a parking requirement of
one parking space per each 250 square feet of floor area. Retail, office, and personal services uses are allowed
on the site by right, and the City cannot condition the number of seats, the number of employees, or appointment -
only services for those uses.
Commissioner Kleiman felt the Planning Commission set a precedent for art studios with a tattoo component to
open anywhere in the City. The lack of parking is a pervasive problem in Corona del Mar. Commissioner Kleiman
was having difficulty making Findings 3 and 5.
5of12
12-19255
NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION 12/06/2018
Secretary Lowrey suggested the conditions of approval include a prohibition for minor children being on the
premises without a parent or legal guardian when tattoos are being performed.
Vice Chair Weigand opened the public hearing.
Lindsay Leer [ phonetic] supported an art studio use but not a tattoo use. The information does not state the
frequency that tattoos will be performed. Parking is an issue in Corona del Mar. Children should not be exposed
to tattooing.
Vice Chair Weigand closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Kleiman noted Sherman Library and Gardens, which is near the project site, holds many family and
children events. She was having difficulty finding the project consistent with surrounding uses.
In reply to Vice Chair Weigand's inquiry, Deputy Community Development Director Campbell advised that the
conditions of approval for E Art Gallery are identical to the conditions of approval for Agape Studio.
Commissioner Kramer remarked that societal acceptance of tattoos and the environment of a tattoo business have
changed. The same issues were discussed with Agape Studio's application. Tattoo businesses are not currently
located in Corona del Mar; however, the lack of tattoo businesses does not mean one would not be compatible in
the neighborhood. The conditions of approval are strict. Multiple jurisdictions regulate tattoo businesses. The
hours of operation are reasonable. He could make the findings for the application. The conditions of approval
accurately reflect the discussions with the prior application. The application fits the criteria contained in the
Municipal Code and is fair and reasonable with respect to the Planning Commission's prior approval of a similar
business in a different location of the City.
Commissioner Koetting was struggling with the application as well. The location is wrong for a tattoo business
because it could attract the wrong element. Five tattoo businesses are located within 4-5 miles of the project site.
The tattoo component appears to be an afterthought. He could not make the findings for compatibility with the
area.
Motion made by Commissioner Kleiman and seconded by Secretary Lowrey to adopt Resolution No. PC2018-
032 denying Minor Use Permit No. UP2018-014.
Vice Chair Weigand commented regarding the absence of two Commissioners. The Planning Commission
does not have the ability to make a full decision on the application. The Planning Commission has approved
one minor use permit for a tattoo use that was closer to other tattoo establishments than the current project
site. The project is the most discrete project he has seen for any location.
Substitute Motion by Vice Chair Weigand and seconded by Commissioner Kramer to continue the item until
all Commissioners are present.
Commissioner Kleiman stated the precedents being set are approval of all applications for tattoo uses that are
similar to the current application and continuance of an item when Commissioners are absent.
Commissioner Kramer noted the same argument could be made that personal bias should not enter into a
decision. Given the data presented and the parameters for decisions, he could support approval of the
application.
Vice Chair Weigand supported the application because of the appointment -only nature of the business, the
limited operating hours, and the obscurity of the location. There should not be any personal bias in relation to
a tattoo establishment. Protections are in place for those who wish to obtain a tattoo.
Commissioner Kleiman clarified her objections as being based on the use not being consistent with
surrounding uses and on the lack of parking in the area.

ITEM NO.4 HARBOR POINTE SENIOR LIVING (PA2015-210)
Site Location: 101 Bayview Place
Summary:
The applicant proposes to demolish an existing 8,800 -square -foot restaurant building (Kitayama) and
construct a new 120 -bed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (i.e., senior assisted living and memory
care). The new facility would be approximately 85,000 square feet with three stories above a subterranean
parking garage. The project site is 1.5 acres and is located at the corner of Bayview Place and Bristol
Street. In order to implement the project, the applicant requests the following approvals from the City of
Newport Beach:
General Plan Amendment (GPA)—To change the land use designation for the property from General
Commercial Office (CO -G) to Private Institutions (PI) and to amend Anomaly No. 22 to replace the
existing allowed development limits of 8,000 square feet for restaurant use for 70,000 square feet for
office use with 85,000 square feet for a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE).
Planned Community Development Plan Amendment (Zoning)—To change the land use
allowances and development standards for Area 5 of the Bayview Planned Community (PC -32)
Zoning District to accommodate the proposed RCFE use.
Major Site Development Review—To ensure the site is developed in accordance with the General
Plan and applicable planned community and zoning code development standards and regulations
pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section 20.52.080 (Site Development Reviews).
Conditional Use Permit—To allow the operation of a 120 -bed RCFE.
Development Agreement—A development agreement providing development rights in exchange for
public benefits.
Environmental Impact Report (EIR)—To identify and mitigate reasonably foreseeable environmental
impacts resulting from project approval pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Recommended Action:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Adopt Resolution No. PC2018-033 and attached exhibits recommending the City Council:
a. Certify Environmental Impact Report No. ER2018-001; and
b. Approve General Plan Amendment No. GP2015-004, Planned Community Development
Plan Amendment No. PD2015-005, Major Site Development Review No. SD2015-007,
Conditional Use Permit No. UP2015-047, and Development Agreement No. DA2018-006.
Associate Planner Benjamin Zdeba reported the site is currently developed with the Kitayama restaurant and
is located south of the 73 freeway. John Wayne Airport is located northwest of the site, and Fletcher Jones
and the Marriott hotel are located southeast of the site. Six -story and three-story office buildings, single -story
single-family residences, two-story condominiums, and an eight -story hotel are located around the site. The
General Plan land use designation for the site is General Commercial Office (CO -G), and the site is located
within Area 5 of the Bayview Planned Community Zoning District. The applicant proposes a 120 -bed,
approximately 85,000 -square -foot Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) of three stories over
subterranean parking. The structure, as proposed, complies with the maximum height limit of the Bayview
Planned Community. The applicant proposes 53 parking spaces, which exceeds the 40 parking spaces
required by the Zoning Code, a 40 -foot setback to residential property, a 10 -foot setback to Bayview Place,
7of12
12-21257
NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION 12/06/2018
and a 15 -foot setback to Bristol Street. The project requires a General Plan Amendment to change the land
use from CO -G to PI and to increase the development limit from 70,000 square feet to 85,000 square feet; a
Planned Community Amendment to allow the RCFE subject to a use permit; site development review; and a
conditional use permit (CUP). The applicant proposes a development agreement to provide public benefits of
1 million as the project is implemented. Within the City of Newport Beach, 181 parcels totaling 171 acres
have a CO -G designation. Seventy-seven additional parcels totaling 137 acres have a similar designation.
With the amendment, the City would lose less than 1 percent of its CO -G inventory. The application was
submitted on November 23, 2015, and the project has been revised several times. Employees, visitors, and
residents will primarily access the site through the subterranean parking, which should eliminate concerns
about noise. Trash collection will occur via the subterranean parking and the south end of the building. The
trash collection area is located near the garages for the adjacent residential development. Drop-off and pick-
up will occur at the roundabout. Emergency access will be provided by a gated entrance off Bristol Street.
The height limit is 35 feet to the topmost ceiling with an additional 10 feet allowed for mechanical screening.
The proposed structure will be 39 feet 6 inches to the topmost roof. Materials for the project include smooth
stucco, stainless steel, glass, and stacked stone columns for the perimeter wall. A DEIR was released on
August 10, 2018, and the comment period ended September 28, 2018. The DEIR includes mitigation
measures for cultural resources, geology and soils, land use and planning, noise, and public services. During
the comment period, the City received 82 written and 23 verbal comments, and staff provided responses to
each comment. The comments did not raise any issues that required significant changes and/or recirculation
of the DEIR. Mitigation measures include a fair -share payment for an ambulance to be located at Fire Station
Number 7 and measures to reduce construction noise. Condition of Approval Number 9 requires future review
of any changes to the project. Condition of Approval Number 10 restricts delivery and trash pickup to the hours
of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Condition of Approval Number 11 limits visiting hours to 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Condition of Approval Number 12 requires onsite parking and prohibits parking elsewhere. Condition of
Approval Numbers 29 and 30 require a photometric survey to ensure outdoor lighting does not provide glare
to nearby residences. Condition of Approval Number 37 requires that a Native American monitor be on-site
during excavation. Condition of Approval Number 38 requires a construction management plan be approved
prior to the issuance of building permits. Staff believes the project will create a quasi -residential project that
will integrate well with surrounding uses. The project will serve the City's large aging population. Ifthe Planning
Commission approves staffs recommendation, staff will present the project to the Airport Land Use
Commission and the City Council.
Commissioners Kramer, Kleiman, Koetting, Secretary Lowrey, Vice Chair Weigand, and Chair Zak disclosed
in-person and telephone conversations with the applicant's consultant and the applicant. Commissioner
Koetting noted his conversation related to the timing of the hearing. Vice Chair Weigand indicated his
conversation pertained to the merits of the application.
Carol McDermott, applicant representative, advised that 25 percent of Newport Beach residents are over age
65. Existing facilities are few, were built quite some time ago, and do not represent the current standards. An
RCFE is a specialized type of State licensing, is regularly inspected for care and safety standards, is a non-
medical facility, and provides residents with personal assistance with daily living activities. Residents are over
age 60. An RCFE can include assisted living and memory care services, but it does not provide drug
rehabilitation services or nursing and medical care. Area 5 of the Bayview PC contains a mix of uses. The
Bayview Planned Community was adopted in 1985, amended in 1987 to allow certain improvements in side
yards, amended in 1995 to add land uses for bars, theaters, and nightclubs, and amended in 2010 to add land
uses for medical office and outpatient surgery. Proposed changes to the Bayview Planned Community affect
only Area 5, eliminate permitted uses other than RCFE, increase the setbacks from residential properties,
provide a minimum parking requirement, and provide maximum building square footage. All other RCFE
developments in the City are zoned Pl. The General Plan Amendment will change the anomaly table to restrict
the site to RCFE use only. With the maximum number of employees onsite during shift change, the project
will provide more parking spaces than needed. The project will provide a significant visual buffer from the
adjacent residences through enhancements to the perimeter landscaping. In response to Planning
Commission comments, the applicant added 1,000 square feet of landscaping area near the entrance for
assisted -living residents only. The applicant will request the Planning Commission consider allowing trash
trucks to exit the property through the emergency access gate. The project incorporates features that are
consistent with the design standards for Santa Ana Heights. Mature landscaping will fill gaps and screen the
project site from the garages and parking area of Santa Ana Heights. The nearest Santa Ana Heights home
is located 95 feet from the proposed building. The EIR analyzed 13 elements and determined there are no
8of12
12-22258
NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION 12/06/2018
significant impacts. The City's traffic consultant determined that the project will generate 400 fewer daily trips
than Kitayama, the existing restaurant use on-site. The two main issues raised during the comment period for
the EIR were land use and traffic. The City finds that the project creates no significant environmental effects.
The construction phase will be 12- 14 months. Construction noise mitigation measures include a 10 -foot noise
barrier along the perimeter of the property, an onsite noise disturbance monitor, limits on construction hours
and days, and limits on the types and proximity of construction equipment. In response to a question raised
during the study session, the State does not have a licensing standard for the amount of usable open space
available to residents. The State will evaluate the adequacy of open space stated in a license application. The
project proposes 3,700 square feet of open space in the main internal courtyards, 1,200 square feet in the roof
deck, and 1,000 square feet around the library patio. The Fire Department retains the right to decide an
emergency vehicle route on a case-by-case basis. The emergency access on Bristol can be used as both an
entrance and exit to the site. The State requires an emergency evacuation plan as part of licensing, and the
applicant will work with the Fire Department and State to obtain it. Emergency vehicles do not normally use
sirens in residential areas. An RCFE's license is issued by the Department of Social Services through the
State Senior Care Licensing Program. Following the September 13 study session, the applicant worked with
staff to draft a development agreement and a $1 million public benefit, to narrow the General Plan Amendment
and zoning to RCFE only, to increase the amount of open space, to enhance the architecture, and to enhance
landscaping. Ms. McDermott indicated one resident who lives immediately adjacent to the site and who could
not be present and could not provide a statement prior to the meeting is not opposed to the project. The
applicant agrees to staffs recommended conditions of approval.
In answer to questions from the Planning Commission, Ms. McDermott agreed to consider ending visiting hours
at 10: 00 p.m. Shade in the internal courtyards may extend for a few minutes or a few hours depending on the
angle of the sun and the time of year. The internal courtyards will not be shaded all day. The rooftop and
library garden are not impacted by shade and shadows. The project will have no impact on neighboring
properties.
Chair Zak opened the public hearing.
Kirk Snyder, 41 Baycrest Court and Bayview Court Homeowners Association (HOA) President, reported the
HOA and other HOAs intend to challenge the project in court because a precedent -setting zoning change
threatens every community in the City. The vast majority of the community objects to the project because it
requires a zoning change that could allow many negative businesses on the site in the future. He explained
that according to Mr. Zdeba, the City has never changed a designation to PI for a site located within a Planned
Community.
Jodi Estwick, Newport Coast and People for Housing, remarked that more care facilities would be good for
residents to age in place. Zoning needs to accommodate the aging population. She supported the project.
Patti Lampman, 140 Baycrest Court, felt the General Plan should be updated prior to the Planning Commission
approving or denying the project. Over the past week, she contacted six memory care facilities in the area,
and each one has openings. The need for another facility does not appear to be urgent. She wanted to know
the cost for residents of the facility. Vivante is planning an additional 112 assisted living units on a site zoned
for the use. If approved, the Vivante project will open in early 2020.
Rhonda Watkins, 58 Baycrest, believed the project is wholly incompatible with the neighborhood. The site is
a perfect location for an office building. Rezoning the site to PI will result in a daily flood of visitors and
congestion in the area. The bulk and size of the project are unacceptable.
Dave O'Keefe, 20082 Bayview Avenue, supported the project. Residents of Bayview and Vista will not be able
to see the facility and will not drive by it. The community needs this type of facility.
Steve Greer, Bayview Terrace, supported the project. The project will be a good business for the community
and will provide care for aging residents. The applicant has revised the project in response to community
concerns. Mr. Habeeb is a credible, local businessperson and has experience in this type of facility.
Tom Dallape, 2532 Vista Drive, supported the project as assisted living and memory care facilities are a
necessity. Having facilities in the City will allow residents to care for their relatives.

NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION 12/06/2018
Patrick Moriarty, 3085 Corte Portofino, related that he and his family have not found a facility of the quality
proposed for Harbor Pointe for his aging parents. The quality of the project and its location within walking
distance of his home appeal to his family. He supported the project.
Robert Attia [phonetic] remarked that assisted living facilities provide activities for residents and allow residents
of similar ages to live in the same location. These types of facilities are needed in the community.
Patricia Blakeney, Zenith Street, did not oppose assisted living facilities but the location of the proposed project.
The site is not designed for an assisted living facility. From the appearance of the project, many people cannot
afford to live there. The project will use considerably more water than the existing restaurant. She questioned
the location of parking should valet parking be needed.
Dave Tax supported the project as a quiet and unobtrusive use of the property. The project will provide much-
needed services for the elderly and the community. Alternative uses of the site would provide greater noise
and traffic impacts. He supported the project.
Mike Smith, Bayview Avenue, inquired regarding potential future designations of the site if the project is
approved; consequences to the RCFE if the applicant changes or sells the business; the ability to limit the
RCFE to a life of 20 or 50 years; and details of the $1 million payment.
Lyle Brakob, 6 Baycrest Court, commented that noise from the airport will be a problem for residents of the
facility. The traffic survey probably misrepresents the true numbers. He opposed the project.
Jim Mosher suggested the Planning Commission should not approve the form of the changes to the table for
Anomaly 22 as the Marriott hotel is not listed in any anomaly. In the greenlight analysis, the staff report does
not explain who chooses whether a project will be 8,000 square feet or 70,000 square feet. The project does
not count as housing toward the green light limit. He questioned whether the City Council had any involvement
in negotiating the development agreement and whether staff identified a General Plan policy with which the
project may conflict. The project does not provide sufficient sunny open space for residents.
Greg Carroll, 20101 Bayview Avenue, indicated the project will not provide enough sunshine for residents and
will shade adjacent properties. The emergency access onto Bristol is an issue because of the traffic on Bristol.
The existing restaurant does not generate more than 700 trips daily. The project will generate more trips than
reported.
Ms. McDermott explained that an RCFE designation will run with the land. Any potential future use will have
to conform to all conditions of approval. The traffic volume for a restaurant will change depending on the
seasons and any specials the restaurant may offer; therefore, average traffic volume is used for traffic
standards. The project is compatible with the City's Housing Element and Traffic Element and does not affect
the remaining elements of the General Plan. The proposed open space is consistent and appropriate for
residents' needs. A pathway around the building will accommodate a walker, a wheelchair, and an aide. The
project will generate very little traffic and will not contribute to peak hour traffic.
Chair Zak closed the public hearing.
In reply to Commissioners' queries, City Traffic Engineer Brine reported staff used the trip generation rates for
a quality restaurant and for an assisted living facility contained in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
manual. The 732 trips for Kitayama was based on the square footage of the restaurant. The 312 trips for
Harbor Pointe was based on the number of beds proposed for the facility. The rate for Kitayama was based
on a quality restaurant, not necessarily Kitayama, because another quality restaurant could go onto the site
without discretionary approval. A fast food restaurant generates more trips than a quality restaurant. The Fire
Department will determine the best point of access to the property at the time access is needed. Associate
Planner Zdeba advised that the project is served by the Irvine Ranch Water District. The Irvine Ranch Water
District has indicated it can provide sufficient water to the project based on existing infrastructure. A mitigation
measure requires the developer to notify potential residents of noise created by airplanes arriving and
departing from John Wayne Airport. The project is located outside the noise contours where residential uses
are considered incompatible. Deputy Community Development Director Campbell related that the applicant
10 of 12
12-24260
NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION 12/06/2018
requested a development agreement, and staff negotiated the terms of the development agreement. The City
Council was not involved in negotiating the development agreement. Public hearings before the Planning
Commission and the City Council are part of the process for considering a development agreement. The site,
as currently zoned, can accommodate an 8,000 -square -foot restaurant or a 70,000 -square -foot office building.
Changing the use to an office building or a fast food restaurant could require a traffic study depending on the
amount of traffic the use would generate based on the ITE manual. A change could be subject to a site
development review application as well. City Traffic Engineer Brine added that a 70,000 -square -foot office
building would generate 682 trips, which is less than the number of trips generated by an 8,000 -square -foot
quality restaurant. Based on the reduction in trips generated, a traffic study would not be required. Ms.
McDermott explained that the marketing study indicates the demographics of Newport Beach and the
surrounding area over the next few years will justify the investment in the property. The marketing study is on
file with the application. Associate Planner Zdeba noted the project is evaluated on its merits and is unique to
the site. An RCFE is specified in the development table under Anomaly 22. If an applicant proposes changing
the RCFE use in the future, the application would be subject to a public hearing and public process. The
proposed use would be evaluated with new traffic counts and trip generation rates based on the new land use.
In its review, staff did not identify any General Plan policies that conflict with the project.
Vice Chair Weigand stated 13.9 million Californians will be age 60 and older by 2050. As the population ages,
the demand for assisted living facilities will increase. The project as a whole is important to the City of Newport
Beach and worthy of the Planning Commission's support. One of the goals of the Planning Commission should
be to improve the quality of life of residents, which the proposed project does. The applicant has done its due
diligence and worked with the surrounding community to provide a project that fits the area. The merits and
needs of the project have been fulfilled. He supported the project.
Commissioner Kramer remarked that over the three years the application has been pending, staff and the
Planning Commission have carefully reviewed the project. The applicant has made numerous changes to the
original plan. The General Plan allows amendments, and one of the Planning Commission's duties is to review
them. The project does not set a precedent. The site will be conditioned as RCFE only, which severely limits
any future use on the site. The EIR found no significant impacts. Demand for the use exists in Newport Beach.
One of the Planning Commission's roles is to plan for all segments and ages within the City, particularly those
in need of the most care. The design of the facility is intelligent and compatible with the larger area.
Motion made by Commissioner Kramer and seconded by Vice Chair Weigand to adopt Resolution No. PC2018-
033 and attached exhibits recommending the City Council certify Environmental Impact Report No. ER2018-
001 and approve General Plan Amendment No. GP2015-004, Planned Community Development Plan
Amendment No. PD2015-005, Major Site Development Review No. SD2015-007, Conditional Use Permit No.
UP2015-047, and Development Agreement No. DA2018-006.
Chair Zak commented that the Planning Commission's role is to evaluate zoning standards, consider
environmental impacts, and determine whether a project fits the criteria. The proposed project will be less
impactful than other uses allowed under the current zoning standards.

INTRODUCTION
Project Setting
The subject tenant space is located within an existing two-story commercial building on
East Coast Highway in Corona del Mar, south of Fernleaf Avenue. The building contains
approximately 10,098 square feet of rentable space, and contains a mix of commercial
uses including service and retail uses such as tailoring, fitness studios, salons, and a law
office. No onsite parking spaces are provided. Surrounding land uses consist of primarily
commercial uses including a yoga studio, a resale clothing boutique, restaurants and
Sherman Library and Gardens, with adjacent residential uses immediately to the west of
the site.
Project Description
The applicant requests a minor use permit to operate a tattoo studio (Personal Services,
Restricted land use) in conjunction with an artist gallery/studio within an existing commercial
tenant space. The art studio/gallery and tattoo studio will be located within an existing,
693 -square -foot tenant space located on the lower level of the building. No increase in floor
area and only minor interior improvements are proposed.
The tattoo aspect of the business would consist of two workstations with a maximum of
two tattoo artists working at any time. The artists would operate by appointments only,
with no "walk-in" services offered. The hours of operation are proposed to be between the
hours of 10:00 a. m. to 8:00 p.m., daily.
Tattoo studio operators and artists are required to register with the Orange County Health
Department and are regulated by the California Safe Body Art Act, which was enacted
July 1, 2012, to ensure safe operating procedures are practiced. The studio will be subject
to inspections to ensure it maintains proper sanitary facilities and that it meets all
applicable health regulations.
The art gallery/studio aspect of the business will include painting and figurative drawing
classes, painting canvas, and commissioned artwork. Art classes will typically consist of
five to seven artists painting or drawing a live model one to two times per month. One-on-
one art instruction may also be scheduled on an appointment basis.
DISCUSSION
Analysis
General Plan
The General Plan Land Use Element designation for the site is Corridor Commercial (CC).
The CC designation is intended to provide a range of neighborhood -serving retail and
service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster pedestrian
12-32
269
activity. The existing building is occupied by a variety of retail and service uses. The
proposed studio is defined as service use and is consistent with this designation.
Local Coastal Plan
The subject site is located in the Coastal Zone and is within the Commercial Corridor (CC)
Coastal Zoning District. Personal Service, Restricted land uses and art galleries/studios
are allowed uses within the CC Coastal Zoning District. There is no coastal development
permit required because tenant space has historically been occupied by a retail or service
use and there is no change in intensity of use proposed.
Zoning
The site is located within the Commercial Corridor (CC) Zoning District. Within Section
20.20.020 (Commercial Zoning Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements) of the Zoning
Code, the CC District allows Personal Services, Restricted uses subject to the approval of
a MUP. The Zoning Code does not provide any specific requirements for tattoo studios
other than the MUP requirement. The art gallery/studio component is permitted by right
within the CC Zoning District.
Parking
Pursuant to Municipal Code Sections 20.40.040 and 21.40.040 (Off -Street Parking Spaces
Required), retail, personal service uses and art studios require parking at a rate of one space
for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. The existing multi -tenant commercial building
is legal non -conforming due to parking because there are no parking spaces provided
onsite. Municipal Code Sections 20.38.060(B)(1) and 21.38.060(B)(1) allow a
nonconforming site building to change to a new use without providing additional parking
provided there is no intensification or enlargement and the new use requires no more than
one parking space for every 250 square feet of gross area. The proposed use meets these
parking regulations.
Dispersion of Uses
There is one other restricted personal service land use (i.e., day spas, healing arts,
tanning salons, and tattoo services) within the subject building. The business, La Vita
Salon/Spa, offers salon services in a nearby commercial space. The surrounding
commercial area of Corona del Mar contains many personal services, general land uses
i.e., barber and beauty shops, dry cleaning services). Although there have been no minor
use permits approved for personal services, restricted land uses in the Corona del Mar
neighborhood since 2010, there are eight personal service uses within two blocks.
There are five tattoo studios currently operating within the City: three on the Balboa
Peninsula, one in Newport Shores and one recently approved in Newport Heights. Of the
five, the nearest is Agape Art Collective, located approximately four miles away on Old
Newport Boulevard. Therefore, staff believes the proposed project would not create an
12-33
270
over -concentration of personal service restricted or tattoo service uses within the area.
Refer to Attachment No. PC4 for a map of the existing tattoo service locations.
Use Permit Findings
In accordance with Section 20.52.020.F (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use
Permits), the Planning Commission must make the following findings for approval for a
minor 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 the 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.
5. 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, safety, or general
welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
As previously indicated, the proposed project includes uses consistent with the CC
General Plan land use category and CC Zoning District. The existing building and tenant
space were built and designed to accommodate commercial uses, with retail and service
uses currently and historically occupying the site. The proposed tattoo studio use is a
service that will be complementary to the other uses in the commercial building and
surrounding area. No significant tenant improvements are proposed and the parking
requirement would not increase from existing conditions.
The art gallery/studio and tattoo studio would operate with typical retail business hours of
operation, occupy less than 700 square feet, and tattoo artists would operate by
appointment only with no "walk-in" tattoo customers. A maximum of two tattoo stations
would be authorized and each artist would be required to be registered with the County
Health Department to ensure sanitary practices. Conditions are also included in the
resolution to prevent loitering outside of the business.
The presence of La Vita Salon/Spa, another restricted personal service use that offers
salon services, should be complementary and not foster undesirable conditions. Other
tattoo studios in the vicinity are located over four miles away. Thus, the proposed project
should not create or perpetuate a cluster of such uses that might be detrimental to the
area.
12-34
271
Staff believes sufficient facts exist in support of each finding. As conditioned, it is expected
to operate in an effective and non -detrimental manner that is would be compatible with the
surrounding commercial tenants and commercial uses in the area.
Alternatives
1. The Planning Commission may suggest specific project modifications or operational
changes that are necessary to alleviate concerns. Modifications may address the
business operation plan. If the changes are substantial, the item should be continued
to a future meeting to allow the changes to be incorporated.
2. If the Planning Commission believes that the facts to support the findings for approval
are insufficient at this time, the Planning Commission may deny the application. Refer
to the Draft Resolution for Denial provided as Attachment No. PC 2.
Environmental Review
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.
The Class 1 exemption includes the ongoing use of an existing building where there is
negligible or no expansion of use. The proposed project will allow the operation of a tattoo
studio and art gallery/studio in an existing commercial tenant space.
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.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING MINOR USE
PERMIT NO. UP2018-014 FOR A TATTOO STUDIO (PERSONAL
SERVICES, RESTRICTED USE) LOCATED AT 2721 EAST
COAST HIGHWAY, SUITE 104 (PA2018-177)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
An application was filed by E. Art Gallery ("Applicant"), with respect to property located at
2721 East Coast Highway, Suite 104, Assessor's Parcel Number 459-171-14 ("Property"),
requesting approval of a minor use permit.
2. The Applicant proposes a tattoo studio (Personal Services, Restricted land use) in
conjunction with an art gallery/studio within an existing commercial tenant space.
3. The Property is designated Corridor Commercial ("CC") by the General Plan Land Use
Element and is located within the Commercial Corridor ("CC") Zoning District.
4. The Property is located within the coastal zone and is within the Commercial Corridor
CC") Coastal Zoning District. A coastal development permit is not required as the
proposed project does not change the intensity of use at the subject property.
5. A Planning Commission public hearing was held on December 6, 2018, in the Council
Chambers located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and
purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code
NBMC"). Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the
Planning Commission at this hearing.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
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 Class 1 exemption includes the ongoing use of an existing building where there is
negligible or no expansion of use. The proposed project will allow the operation of a
tattoo studio and art gallery/studio in an existing commercial tenant space.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.52.020(F) (Findings and Decision), the following findings
and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
12-40
277
Finding:
A. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of Finding:
The General Plan Land Use Element designation for the site is Corridor Commercial
CC"). The CC designation is intended to provide a range of neighborhood -serving
retail and service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster
pedestrian activity. The existing building onsite operates with commercial uses, with
primarily retail and service uses occupying the site. The proposed project is
consistent with this designation in that it will add an additional service use to the
area.
2. The Property is not part of a specific plan area.
Finding:
B. 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:
The site is located within the Corridor Commercial ("CC") Zoning District and CC
Coastal Zoning District. Within NBMC Section 20.20.020 (Commercial Zoning
Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements), the CC District allows Personal
Services, Restricted uses subject to the approval of a minor use permit. The art
gallery/studio component is permitted by right within the CC Zoning District. Both
uses are allowed uses within the CC Coastal Zoning District pursuant to NBMC
21.20.020 (Commercial Coastal Zoning Districts and Land Uses)
2. The existing multi -tenant commercial building is considered legal non -conforming
because the Property does not comply with current off-street parking
requirements. NBMC Sections 20.38.060(B)(1) and 21.38.060(B)(1) allow a
nonconforming use to change to a new use without providing additional parking
given there is no intensification or enlargement and the new use requires no more
than one parking space per two hundred fifty (250) square feet of gross area. The
proposed use is acceptable as it does not include an intensification or expansion
of floor area and one parking space is required per every two hundred fifty (250)
square feet of gross floor area.
Finding:
C. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the
allowed uses in the vicinity.
12-41
278
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The tattoo studio and art gallery/studio will be located within an existing tenant
space. There is no increase in floor area proposed as a part of the tenant
improvements necessary to convert the existing space into a tattoo studio and art
gallery/studio.
2. The proposed operation will consist of two (2) workstations. A maximum of two
2) tattoo artists, registered and licensed by the Orange County Health
Department, will provide the tattooing services.
3. The artists will operate on an appointment -only basis with no "walk-in" services
for tattooing. No designated receptionist will be provided. The hours of operation
for the business will be from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., daily. The project has been
conditioned to require at least a thirty (30) minute gap between each client
appointment with their respective tattoo artist in order to avoid overlap.
4. The proposed tattoo studio use is a service use that will be complementary to the
other uses in the commercial building and surrounding area, which include food
service, various retail sales uses, and fitness studio uses. Its operating
characteristics are similar to other service uses, such as barber and beauty
shops. The tattoo studio aspect of the business is accessory to the art
gallery/studio.
5. The proposed tattoo studio's anticipated number of patrons and related traffic
would be similar to other service uses, such as beauty salons and barber shops;
however, the level of activity would be limited to greater extent due to the
maximum number of chairs permitted to operate at any time.
6. The proposed tattoo service business will provide a service for residents of the
greater community and visitors to the area and will not require the provision of
additional parking spaces on site.
7. There are five (5) tattoo studios currently operating within the City: three (3) on
the Balboa Peninsula, one (1) in Newport Shores and one (1) in Newport Heights.
Of the five (5), the nearest is Agape Art Collective, located approximately four (4)
miles away on Old Newport Boulevard. Therefore, the proposed project would
not create an over -concentration of tattoo service uses within the area.
8. There are no permitted Personal Services, Restricted land uses (i.e., day spas,
healing arts, tanning salons, and tattoo services) within the subject building or
within at least three hundred (300) feet of the site. Thus, the proposed project
would not create or continue a concentration of such uses therefore, there is an
adequate dispersal of personal services, restricted land uses.
12-42
279
Finding:
D. 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:
The project site is currently operating as a commercial building with mainly
service and retail uses, which demonstrates that it is physically suitable to support
the existing commercial development. The addition of a tattoo studio use within
an existing commercial building will not alter the site's ability to provide public and
emergency vehicle access and public services and utilities.
2. The proposed project will be located in a tenant space within an existing
commercial building and will not involve substantial construction within or outside
of the space with the exception of minor tenant improvements. The design, size,
location, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the existing
uses on the site and within the surrounding area.
3. The Public Works Department and Building and Life Safety Services Divisions
have reviewed the project proposal and did not have any concerns regarding
access, public services, or utilities provided to the existing development.
Finding:
E. 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, a safety, or general welfare ofpersons residing
or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
Facts in Support of Finding:
The project has been reviewed and this approval includes conditions to establish
the permitted hours of operation and the maximum number of tattoo artists
allowed to operate on site at any one time.
2. Tattoo studio operators and artists are required to register with the Orange
County Health Department and are regulated by the California Safe Body Art Act,
which was enacted July 1, 2012, to ensure safe operating procedures are
practiced. The studio will be subject to inspections to ensure it maintains proper
sanitary facilities and that it meets all health regulations.

Subject: Tattoo Studio at 2721 E. Coast Hwy
Chelsea Crager,
I am responding to a notice I received at my home address regarding a public hearing on 12/6/18 to
discuss the possibility of a tattoo parlor being located at 2721 E. Coast Highway. I am strongly
opposed to this type of establishment operating in our neighborhood. A tattoo parlor is not an
appropriate business for the family -friendly, community oriented city of Corona del Mar. My
business is located across the street from the location named in the notice. I am concerned about
the changes to our neighborhood that will certainly occur if businesses such as these begin to locate
here. I am unable to attend the meeting on December 6th but wanted to voice my emphatic
objection to this request.
Thank you,

Dear Ms. Crager,
Thank you for your call. Please use the following text instead of what I submitted with names
and cell phones.
Thank you.
Nov. 27, 2018
Dear Ms. Crager,
I received notification of File No.: PA 2018-177, Activity No.: UP2018-014, a permit
application to operate a tattoo studio in Corona Del Mar. I, without question, feel as though
this is not an appropriate business for my neighborhood. E Art Gallery will not provide the
type of goods or services that boost the esteemed family business climate of our community.
Tattoo parlors are not in keeping with a family -friendly community. There is a grade school
within a quarter mile of the proposed establishment with young children using the nearest
crosswalk to access their school. I am strongly opposed to this type of business going in this
highly visible entry corridor in Corona Del Mar.
I am in favor of a great business promoting foot traffic going in this location. The tattoo parlor
is not what our community needs at this time. I cannot attend the public hearing but am
interested in having my opinion heard. E Art Gallery is an undesirable business and should not
be allowed to enter my neighborhood.

performed. Art classes will consist of 5- 7 other world renowned artists, mostly, 18 years old and
over, drawing and or painting figurative live people, which will be held privately and scheduled at
least once or twice every other month, depending on the live model's schedule. Figurative live
art classes will be held up to 3 hours maximum. There will be various genres of art to be shared
such as figurative, abstract, cubism, and modern contemporary, etc. If the parent/ guardian of
age group 10 years old and over decides to book an appointment of a one-on-one painting or
drawing session with their child, they have the option to be present during the session or not.
These sessions will be held for an hour to an hour and a half, depending on parent's decision of
length of time and will only be booked based on Savaanah's open schedule once or twice a
month, and depending how adamant their parent is about their child's art classes.
Hours open to the public will be set from 1000- 2000, Monday to Sunday, and mostly operated
by appointment. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best Regards,
Savaanah Gallegos

Plan Land Use Element and is located within the Commercial Corridor Zoning District ("CC
Zoning District");
WHEREAS, the Property is located within the coastal zone and is within the
Commercial Corridor Coastal Zoning District ("CC Coastal Zoning District"). A coastal
development permit is not required as the proposed project does not change the intensity
of use at the subject property;
WHEREAS, on December 6, 2018, a public hearing was held by the Planning
Commission in the City Hall Council Chambers, 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A
notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the

Resolution No. 2019 -
Page 2 of 6
WHEREAS, on February 26, 2019, a public hearing was held by the City Council in
the City Hall Council Chambers at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, California. A
notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Ralph
M. Brown Act and NBMC. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and
considered by, the City Council at this hearing; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 20.64 (Appeals) the City Council public hearing
was conducted "de novo" meaning that the City Council considered all evidence and
testimony anew. The City Council's decision was based upon the evidence provided at
the February 26, 2019 public hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach resolves as
follows:
Section 1: The City Council hereby reverses the decision of the Planning
Commission and approves Minor Use Permit No. UP2018-014 (PA2018-177), subject to the
conditions of approval set forth in Exhibit A, which are attached hereto and incorporated by
reference, based upon the following findings and facts in support of findings.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.52.020(F) (Findings and Decision), the following
findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Finding:
A. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The General Plan Land Use Element designation for the site is CC. The CC designation
is intended to provide a range of neighborhood -serving retail and service uses along
street frontages that are located and designed to foster pedestrian activity. The existing
building onsite operates with commercial uses, with primarily retail and service uses
occupying the site. The proposed project is consistent with this designation in that it will
add an additional service use to the area.
2. The Property is not part of a specific plan area.
Finding:
B. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other
applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code.
12-148388
Resolution No. 2019 -
Page 3 of 6
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The site is located within the CC Zoning District and CC Coastal Zoning District. Within
NBMC Section 20.20.020 (Commercial Zoning Districts Land Uses and Permit
Requirements), the CC District allows Personal Services, Restricted uses subject to the
approval of a minor use permit. The art gallery/studio component is permitted by right
within the CC Zoning District. Both uses are allowed uses within the CC Coastal Zoning
District pursuant to NBMC 21.20.020 (Commercial Coastal Zoning Districts and Land
Uses).
2. The existing multi -tenant commercial building is considered legal non -conforming
because the Property does not comply with current off-street parking requirements.
NBMC Sections 20.38.060(B)(1) and 21.38.060(B)(1) allow a nonconforming use to
change to a new use without providing additional parking given there is no
intensification or enlargement and the new use requires no more than one parking
space per two hundred fifty 250 square feet of gross area. The proposed use is
acceptable as it does not include an intensification or expansion of floor area and it
does not require more than one parking space per every two hundred fifty (250) square
feet of gross floor area.
Finding:
C. 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 tattoo studio and art gallery/studio will be located within an existing tenant space.
There is no increase in floor area proposed as a part of the tenant improvements
necessary to convert the existing space into a tattoo studio and art gallery/studio.
2. The proposed operation will consist of two (2) workstations. A maximum of two (2)
tattoo artists, registered and licensed by the Orange County Health Department, will
provide the tattooing services.
3. The artists will operate on an appointment -only basis with no "walk-in" services for
tattooing. No designated receptionist will be provided. The hours of operation for the
business will be from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., daily. The project has been conditioned
to require at least a thirty (30) minute gap between each client appointment with their
respective tattoo artist in order to avoid overlap.
12-149389
Resolution No. 2019 -
Page 4 of 6
4. The proposed tattoo studio use is a service use that will be complementary to the
other uses in the commercial building and surrounding area, which include food
service, various retail sales uses, and fitness studio uses. Its operating characteristics
are similar to other service uses, such as barber and beauty shops. The tattoo studio
aspect of the business is accessory to the art gallery/studio.
5. The proposed tattoo studio's anticipated number of patrons and related traffic would
be similar to other service uses, such as beauty salons and barber shops; however,
the level of activity would be limited to a greater extent due to the maximum number
of chairs permitted to operate at any time.
6. The proposed tattoo service business will provide a service for residents of the greater
community and visitors to the area and will not require the provision of additional
parking spaces on site.
7. There are five (5) tattoo studios currently operating within the City: three (3) on the
Balboa Peninsula, one (1) in Newport Shores and one (1) in Newport Heights. Of the
five (5), the nearest is Agape Art Collective, located approximately four (4) miles away
on Old Newport Boulevard. Therefore, the proposed project would not create an over -
concentration of tattoo service uses within the area.
8. There are no permitted Personal Services, Restricted land uses (i.e., day spas,
healing arts, tanning salons, and tattoo services) within the subject building or within
at least three hundred (300) feet of the site. Thus, the proposed project would not
create or continue a concentration of such uses therefore, there is an adequate
dispersal of personal services, restricted land uses.
Finding:
D. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating
characteristics, and the provision ofpublic and emergency vehicle (e.g., lire and medical)
access and public services and utilities.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The project site is currently operating as a commercial building with mainly service
and retail uses, which demonstrates that it is physically suitable to support the existing
commercial development. The addition of a tattoo studio use within an existing
commercial building will not alter the site's ability to provide public and emergency
vehicle access and public services and utilities.
12-150390
Resolution No. 2019 -
Page 5 of 6
2. The proposed project will be located in a tenant space within an existing commercial
building and will not involve substantial construction within or outside of the space with
the exception of minor tenant improvements. The design, size, location, and operating
characteristics of the use are compatible with the existing uses on the site and within
the surrounding area.
3. The Public Works Department and Building and Life Safety Services Divisions have
reviewed the project proposal and did not have any concerns regarding access, public
services, or utilities provided to the existing development.
Finding:
E. 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, a 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 this approval includes conditions to establish
the permitted hours of operation and the maximum number of tattoo artists allowed
to operate on site at any one time.
Tattoo studio operators and artists are required to register with the Orange County
Health Department and are regulated by the California Safe Body Art Act, which was
enacted July 1, 2012, to ensure safe operating procedures are practiced. The studio will
be subject to inspections to ensure it maintains proper sanitary facilities and that it meets
all health regulations
Section 2: The recitals provided in this resolution are true and correct and are
incorporated into the operative part of this resolution.
Section 3: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this resolution
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 resolution. The City Council
hereby declares that it would have passed this resolution, and each section, subsection,
sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections,
subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Resolution No. 2019 -

Section 4: The City Council finds the adoption of this resolution is exempt from
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant
to Section 15301 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. The
Class 1 exemption includes the ongoing use of an existing building where there is
negligible or no expansion of use. The proposed project will allow the operation of a tattoo
studio and art gallery/studio in an existing commercial tenant space.
Section 5: This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the
City Council, and the City Clerk shall certify the vote adopting the resolution.
ADOPTED this 26th day of February 2019.

Project Description and Plans
E Art Gallery is a unique Art Gallery and creative space whom offers art classes, as well as minimal,
appointment -only, Body -Art services. Located at 2721 E. Coast Hwy Suite 104 Corona Del Mar, California
92625, Savaanah Gallegos and Edgar Aguirre are the two owners and employees who will be conducting
business. Hours of operation will be set, respectively, to Corona del Mar's common business hours 10:00
A.M. to 08:00 P.M., Daily. Body -Art Appointments will not be booked after 07:00 PM to accommodate
for lack of parking.
E Art Gallery is currently, and will be primarily used as a creative space for creating Edgar and
Savaanah's private art collectors' and personal art work. Custom sized and designed paintings and
drawings will be offered and created at this location. Each commissioned art work may take hours, days,
or weeks. Accepted commissions will receive a confirmation due date. Both artists are available and
booked on a regular basis for travels in and out of the country for art business purposes including;
painting large interior and exterior murals or commissioned canvases for business owners, home
owners, and/ or simply exhibiting Art Conventions and Body -Art Conventions, to network and grow.
Once a month, there will be a designated day scheduled for a small (3 hour) art class only. An instructor
or live model will host the art class, as a maximum of 7 adult art students learn to define and personalize
their drawing techniques. One-on-one (2 hour) art classes will be offered to any age 10+. No Body -Art
Appointments will be available for booking on days of art classes or one-on-one sessions. All Body -Art
equipment is portable and will be placed in storage, out of sight, for a concerned parent's peace of
mind.
E Art Gallery will also schedule an art show once a month, consisting of world-renowned artist's
artwork. Each art show will be a small, invitation and RSVP only viewing, specifically for private art
collectors and the artist.
Minimal Body -Art services will be booked by appointment only, around busy travel and art commission
schedules. As a requirement to operate a Body -Art facility, both artists are already registered with the
Orange County Health Department, and the facility will be regularly inspected to ensure a sterile work
environment, as well as meet all health regulations set by California Safe Body -Art Act. Single -use,
disposable instruments only, will be used for Body Art procedures to eliminate blood-borne pathogen
illnesses caused by cross contamination.
E Art Gallery will hold the Crown of the Sea with the highest level of respect and integrity to help
preserve the peaceful nature Corona Del Mar provides, as well as increase revenue to the local
businesses in the vicinity.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Savaanah Gallegos and Edgar Aguirre

Reasons for Appeal
1018 OFT 20 PM q. 09
E Art Gallery has been denied by the Planning Commission to obtain a Minor Use Permit for Tattoo
Services (Personal Services, Restricted Land Use) on December 6th, 2018. Cgs@liners who were in
opposition didn't give elaborate reasons for denial and wrongly dem R evidence.
Savaanah Gallegos, owner of E Art Gallery, is appealing to City Council dine t6
1. 019RE-Neeption of the
business and unclear reasons spoken during the Public Hearing. Parking and incompatibility with
surrounding businesses were main issues, as well as art classes consisting children, present during tattoo
appointments.
Parking is a main concern for every business in Corona del Mar. E Art Gallery is controlling the parking by
setting restrictions; hence prohibited Walk-ins, Appointment only, No Piercing, strict business hours (10
AM- 8 PM), and restrictions on the number of artists to be allowed to tattoo at once (2 artists) set by
Savaanah and Staff conditions of approval. These restrictions allow control of the parking in that area,
where if a similar business (hair salon, art gallery, barber shop, etc.) could potentially occupy the same
space and have unlimited amount of staff and clients at once. (I.E.) "Rockstars of Art" is an Art Gallery in
Corona Del Mar, half a mile from E Art Gallery, whom also doesn't have designated parking and, by right,
is not controlled by strict business hours or restricted amount of staff, which allows that business to
bring in any amount of people for any event, at any time. (I.E.) The previous "tattoo studio" Agape Art
Collective, approved for a minor use permit recently in 2018, was often compared to E Art Gallery.
Agape was approved with similar staff recommendations, although their parking is only 30 minutes,
where E Art Gallery's parking is open and unlimited, unless street sweep hours are occurring.
There were comments made by Chairman Kleiman and Koettling about incompatibility to surrounding
businesses, "I can't make the findings on compatibility in this area." Both owners of E Art Gallery
conducted personal, public outreach, by petition, and received over 60+ approval signatures in Corona
Del Mar, within just two days, including all neighbors in the same building (all petitions are attached to
official planning commission staff report). To my understanding, E Art Gallery is compatible with other
businesses in this area, especially considering staff recommendations of approval and findings. The
location is completely obscure from the public and business signs will be very miniscule and
inconspicuous. There are many personal services; cosmetology offices, hair salons, nail salons, yoga,
healing arts and massage parlors in the surrounding area, which are mostly by appointment only and
similar business hours, with no parking structure.
Comment also made by Koettling, "I think it will, -1 think it could bring the wrong element." This
assumption was unclear as to what he meant, discriminatory or not. Under Federal Law, tattooing is a
Form of pure expression" protected by our First Amendment Right, and over 45 Million people in the
United States have tattoos. E Art Gallery is not in favor of the 'undesirables' Koettling is referring to,
otherwise E Art Gallery would easily open business in an undesirable place such as Los Angeles, Las
Vegas or any other similar, open city. Corona del Mar is an ideal environment, as it is quiet and peaceful,
and all staff of E Art Gallery will maintain the high-class, professional image. Savaanah and Edgar spoke
to all surrounding neighbors and received no complaints of loitering, loud noise or music, or anything to
detriment the city in the nine months they've been leasing this location, and they will continue to
maintain this presence. Comment made by Commissioner Kory Kramer, "You can make the same
408
argument that personal bias should not enter in to your decision in terms of this as well, like I said I am
in favor of given the data we have received.... "
E Art Gallery will offer small, intimate art classes consisting of up to 7 artists and one model. One-on-one
art classes will also be offered. To alleviate concerns about children, present during tattoo
appointments, Savaanah is willing to take on additional conditions of approval; No tattoo appointments
during art classes of any type. Unaccompanied minors (people under 18) are not permitted in the
establishment during tattoo appointments.
In conclusion, E Art Gallery will abide by all health codes set by Orange County Health Department, state
laws, and regulations set by the city of Newport Beach.

Good afternoon City Council. Unfortunately, I'll not be able to attend tonight's meeting. Please accept this email as
a public comment regarding the tattoo parlor that wishes to be located in CdM.
I respectfully request that you deny the request for this and any tattoo parlor. The freedom ofbusiness owners to
establish a legal business in a certain location has to be balanced with the desires of the community, the impact on
the neighbors, and the character of the neighborhood.
While certain types of business are common on the Peninsula, a neighborhood with a very different character than
that ofthe CdM village, would set a precedent in CdM. That is a precedent that could begin the change ofthe
neighborhood character in a way that most people would not appreciate. Further, nothing keeps folks from traveling
a couple ofmiles to the Peninsula to purchase the services of a tattoo parlor.
PLEASE do not open the floodgates and facilitate this type of change of character in CdM, and all that goes with it.
Thanks for listening and for your dedication to the quality of life in our communities.

Dear Newport Beach City Council Members,
As a property owner in Corona Del Mar for over 30 years, I am strongly opposed to a Tattoo Studio and find that this
type of business is NOT appropriate for our neighborhood. My property, on the 500 block of Fernleaf Avenue, is leased
to families with small children. Allowing a Tattoo Studio in Corona del Mar, would cause a loss of income and a decrease
in property values. Please consider that Corona del Mar is a family friendly neighborhood and my objection to any
Tattoo Studio.

Subject: FW: Tattoo parlor
City Council,
It has me concerned as a parent and homeowner a tattoo parlor is possibly moving in on our street let alone CDM. This
location also had a massage parlor which ended up catering to men. Thankfully the police closed it down. My concern is
the other tenants that would be attracted to locate themselves with a tattoo parlor such as smoke shops, massage
parlors and lingerie stores. I managed my families property and Condomrev wanted the space and we said no. The new
landlord let them in and now there is a smoke shop, lingerie store and record store. Not too many professional
businesses would want to be in the same building as a tattoo parlor.
My kids went to Harbor View Elementary and one is still at CDM High School and we pass by those buildings on a regular
basis. When they were little we walked passed it everyday. The CDM bus stop is right by there and being exposed to
something that is violent to the body is too much for children to see on a regular basis. Kids are cutting themselves and
hurting themselves out of anger and frustration and having a tattoo store close to a school is not acceptable.
Please do not let them move in. It will hurt my property values. This landlord let a funny massage place move in and not
sure what is next if we let the tattoo place in.
Kindest regards,
Gretchen Schlegel

Re: Opposition To E Art Gallery Minor Use Permit
Dear Mayor Dixon and Members of the City Council:
This letter is to voice my objection to the appeal of the decision of the Newport Beach
Planning Commission to deny an application for a minor use permit ("Application"), submitted by
an applicant identifying itself as "E Art Gallery," regarding a space located at 2721 East Coast
Highway, Corona del Mar, California. I am a person interested in this appeal in that I work at
2721 East Coast Highway, Corona del Mar, California and I am a resident of Corona del Mar,
California.
Savannah Gallegos, who filed the Application under the name of a business that does not
exist, wants to fill a garaged -sized basement office space with at least four separate businesses,
many of which would require the approval of conditional use permits and/or adult oriented
business permits. In her appeal, Ms. Gallegos requests the Council issue a minor use permit to
allow E Art Gallery to open and operate a tattoo parlor, and apparently, an art gallery, an art studio
and an art school, where the Applicant wants to host shows and to use "live models" for "art
classes" taught to children as young as 10 years old, unaccompanied by their parents, in a small
basement office space that has all its windows obscured with heavy fabric and that can never
comply with the necessary permit requirements, building standards or Health and Safety Codes.
Savaanah Gallegos, is the Appellant ("Appellant"). She claims the Planning Commission
wrongly [sic] denied [E Art Gallery's application] without using evidence." ("Reasons for
Appeal," p. 12- 7 [Attachment A, p.3].) Appellant is wrong. It is the responsibility ofthe applicant
to provide evidence in support of the findings required for issuing the permit. (NB Muni Code §
20.52.020.) As Appellant admits, Chairman Kleiman and the Honorable Koettling stated that they
can't make findings on compatibility in this area," based on the facts presented to them. The fault
415
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 2
for the Commissioners' inability to make findings required to issue a permit lies with the
Applicant, not with the Commission.
Appellant also disagrees with the Planning Commission's determination that the intended
use is not compatible with the surrounding businesses and area but she provides no facts to support
her contention. Finally, Appellant states that "tattooing is a `Form of pure expression' protected
by our First Amendment Right...", although she does not claim that any right has been violated.
Appellant's appeal is without merit. As discussed below, the Planning Commission's
decision was correct and I respectfully request that the City Council uphold that denial.
SUMMARY
The practice of Body Art raises serious health and safety concerns. As such, California
enacted the Safe Body Art Act (Cal Health & Saf Code §§ 119300 -119328.) in order to address
these concerns. The Body Art industry is regulated via the Safe Body Art Act and pursuant to
local and regional law in order to "protect both the practitioner and the client from transmission of
infectious diseases through the application of proper body art procedures and the control of cross -
contamination of instruments and supplies." (Cal Health & Saf Code § 119300.)
Body Art laws properly regulate the facility, the business owner, and the practitioner.
These regulations include but are not limited to: extensive training, reporting, licensing,
registrations and documentation; strict compliance with building specifications; biohazard waste
disposal; records maintenance and retention; customer age limits; and limitations and restrictions
on facility locations and hours of operations.
Appellant's claim that tattooing is protected by the First Amendment is of no consequence.
Activity protected by the First Amendment may be lawfully subject to time, place, and manner
restrictions. (See City ofRenton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., 475 U.S. 41, 49-50, 106 S. Ct. 925, 89
L. Ed. 2d 29 (1986); see also 3570 E. Foothill Blvd., Inc. v. City ofPasadena, 912 F. Supp. 1268,
1273 (C.D. Cal. 1996) ["despite the fact that adult entertainment is protected by the First
Amendment, local governments do have the right to impose time, place, and manner
restrictions"].)
416
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 3
Any more than a person's Second Amendment rights would mandate that the City allow a
person to use the prospective space as a shooting range, Appellant's First Amendment Rights do
not permit her to circumvent the content -neutral time, place, and manner restrictions of the Safe
Body Art Act, the Orange County Health regulations, or the City of Newport Beach's Minor Use
Permit Requirements.
The prospective space and building cannot meet the requirements of the Safe Body Art Act
or the Orange County Health regulations, even with extensive renovation, repair and remodeling.
Nor does the prospective space and building meet the Newport Beach Minor Use Permit
requirements.
In addition, Appellant's and Applicant's continuously changing proposed business
operations now appear to fall within the categories of "adult oriented business," "Adult model
studio," "Live art class," all of which require the business to first obtain an adult oriented business
permit. (NB Muni. Code §§ 5.96.010, 5.96.015.)
The Application is so substantively and procedurally flawed, it would have been impossible
for the Planning Commission to approve it, and the appeal creates additional reasons that it too
must be denied.
1. The applicant is identified as an entity that does not exist;
2. The applicant failed to submit applications for all permits at once as required;
3. The appellant is not the applicant; suggested modifications, even ifpermissible, cannot
be made by someone other than the applicant;
4. The application does not provide correct information regarding the proposed building;
5. The application does not provide correct information regarding the proposed location
within the neighborhood;
6. The proposed facility does not and cannot meet the strict building standards required;
7. The proposed use does not comply with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code
or the Municipal Code;
8. The proposed design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are not
compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity;
9. The proposed site is not physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, or
operating characteristics;
417
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 4
10. The proposed site is not physically suitable in terms of the provisions of public and
emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access and public services and utilities;
11. Operation of the use at the location proposed would be detrimental to the harmonious
and orderly growth of the City;
12. Operation of the use at the location proposed would 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.
The above are but a few of the issues associated with the Application. Staff has not
evaluated the necessary requirements for the proposed space, and, at the least, the matter should
be sent back to Staff to evaluate the prospective space with regard to the requirements of body art
facilities as well as to evaluate the requirements and restrictions of holding art classes with minors
unaccompanied by their parents.
THE APPLICANT DOES NOT EXIST
The Newport Beach Staff Report indicates that a person named "Savaanah Gallegos" is the
applicant. (Staff Report Feb. 26 2019, ABSTRACT.) This is incorrect. Savaanah Gallegos is the
appellant. According to the City of Newport Beach, "E Art Gallery" is the applicant.
Unless the business is being operated as a sole proprietorship formed with a name that
includes the individual's name (example: John Smiths Fishing Shop), a Fictitious Business Name
Statement ("FBN") must be filed with the county where the principal place of business is located
California. (Cal Bus & Prof Code § 17900 et seq.) The Records of Orange County indicate that
no one has filed an FBN containing the phrase " E Art," `B -Art," or 'E. Art." (See attached search
results.) The Records of Orange County also indicate that neither Savaanah Gallegos (including
variations of this name) nor the other purported owner, Edgar Aguirre has ever filed any FBN in
Orange County. The California Secretary of State indicates that no LLC, LLP or corporation has
been registered to do business as "E Art Gallery," "E -Art Gallery," or `E. Art Gallery." (See
attached search results.)
Unless a business contains the owner's name(s), persons have no right to conduct business
in California unless they have filed the required forms with the appropriate agencies. (Cal Bus &
Prof Code § 17900 et seq.; Cal Corp. Code, §§ 100 et seq, 2200 et seq., 16105 et seq.)

Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019

Because " E Art Gallery" does not exist, it has no right to apply for or obtain any permit in
Newport Beach.
APPELLANT HAS NO RIGHT TO USE THE APPELLATE PROCESS
TO MODIFY THE APPLICATION
Appellant is Savaanah Garcia. (See Appeal Application.) Applicant is E Art Gallery. (See
application.) Appellant is not Applicant. A non -applicant may not modify an application.
The City Council should not consider Appellant's proposed changes in scope. The review
authority shall consider the same application, plans, and project -related materials that were the
subject of the original decision, unless otherwise deemed relevant by the review authority. (NB
Muni. Code § 20.64.030 C.3.d.) Consideration may only be given so long as it does not change
the scope of an application. Here, Appellant has substantially modified the terms of the proposed
use as stated in (someone else's) application.
Appellant claims that Applicant now wishes to hold art school classes, including "personal
one-on-one" classes to persons of "any age 10+," which, Appellant claims, will be "hosted by"
a]n instructor or live model." (Staff Report, Attachment G, Revised project description," p.12-
157 [emphasis added].) Notably, the proposed space has three large windows (two windows with
dimensions 7' x 6' and one window with dimensions of 6.75' x 4.5'), all of which have been
blacked out by Appellant. Given the fact that the proposed new use includes providing "classes,"
that are "hosted by live models," to unaccompanied minors in a space with no view to the exterior
of the space, the proposed new use should be thoroughly reviewed by means of a new application,
with scrutiny ofthe nature of the "live modelling," and classes.
The writer of this letter has not evaluated the laws regarding conducting art classes with
unaccompanied minors, but a cursory review of the law indicates, that, at the least, art or craft
materials that contain or that are presumed to contain an ingredient that is a toxic substance causing
chronic illness, may not be used in K-6 grade private schools. (Calif. Educ. Code §§32064-
32066.) And if the art displayed in the "gallery," contains depictions of nudes or if the "live
models" proposed to be used for the "private" children's art classes are nude, then additional
scrutiny of the proposed activities should be made and restrictions and prohibitions should be
419

Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo

included in any permit to protect against criminal activity. (E.g. Pen. Code, §§ 266j [Procurement
of child], 311.2 [Production, distribution, or exhibition of obscene matter], 311.3 [Sexual
exploitation of child], 311.6 [Obscene live conduct], 313.1 [Distribution or exhibition of harmful
matter to minor]; 314 [indecent exposure]; 11165.1 [sexual exploitation of child]; and so forth].)
Because the City Staffhas not addressed these important matters, the Appeal should not be granted.
In addition, the public has a right to know about, comment on and oppose this this new proposed
use. The applicant should be required to submit a new application that describes this new proposed
use and the matter should be properly noticed to permit public participation, to which the public is
entitled as a matter of law. On a related note, I had asked on several occasions, both by phone and
in writing, to be given notice ofthe date of this appeal. I was told by City Staff member Chelsea
Crager on several occasions that I would receive notice. I received no notice. I respectfully request
that, when a staff member promises to give notice, said staff member actually give notice.
THE CONTENTS OF THE APPLICATION AND THE APPEAL ARE INACCURATE
Both the plans submitted with the application and plans submitted with the appeal are
grossly inaccurate in both measurements and boundaries. As can be seen immediately by the
flawed plans, the overall square footage is grossly overstated. A quick counting of the squares in
the site plan in the Planning Commission staff report PowerPoint presentation indicates that the
proposed space is approximately 432 square feet. Yet page 4 ofthe PowerPoint presentation states
the square footage as "693 square feet." Similarly, the square footage listed on Attachment H to
the staff report for the Appeal lists the square footage of the proposed site as "693 square feet."
In addition, the proposed site boundaries depicted in the diagrams in Attachment H are
grossly inaccurate. The diagram on page 5 of Attachment H does not depict the actual boundaries
of the proposed site. This diagram shows the proposed site as containing space unrelated to the
proposed space and also shows two toilet facilities as being directly connected to the proposed
space. The building has only one operable toilet facility on the first floor, and it is not connected
to nor is it located adjacent to the proposed site.
420
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 7
The diagram on page 2 of Attachment H:
is not drawn to scale;
depicts a two -foot entrance doorway when in fact, the entrance doorway is six feet
wide and holds two in -swinging doors;
overstates the project north boundary;
indicates walls where there are none;
overstates the size of the sink area;
depicts circles that are roughly the size of a dinner plate as "tables;"
depicts a "creative space," the size of a closet (8'x9') where art classes with as
many as 9 people are proposed to be conducted;
indicates two toilet facilities and presents them as being part of the proposed space
when, in fact, there is only one toilet facility, which is shared by all tenants,
including at least one dwelling;
overstates the size of the toilet facility; and
does not accurately depict the location of or the means to access the toilet facility.
I have attached a corrected site plan. This plan accurately indicates:
The square footage of the proposed space is approximately 417 square feet, which
is a little larger than a one -car garage and 276 square feet less than the size stated
in the staff report;
the entrance to the proposed space is comprised oftwo 3 -foot doors that swing into
the proposed space, which reduces the useable space to less than 400 square feet;
the door to the toilet facility is 22 inches wide and swings outward into the 33 -inch
hallway, toward the person attempting to enter the toilet facility;
The toilet facility is located nearly twenty feet away (along a 33 -inch hallway) from
the entrance to the proposed space.
The inaccuracies and inconsistencies are easily identifiable by a cursory examination. The
City staff should have caught the inaccuracies and demanded they be corrected before the
application was accepted. In addition, the City staff should have made a site visit to ensure the
drawings were correct.
Appellant also supports her appeal with false and inaccurate claims regarding other
businesses. Appellant's claims regarding other businesses are of little consequence First, these
businesses either do not require special permits (Rockstars of Art) or have no similar issues with
421
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 8
the building or parking (Agape Art Collective). Second, complaining that one business is allowed
to operate does not make another business permissible.
More important are Appellant's false and inaccurate statements regarding the other
business and the proposed business. Appellant falsely claims that Rockstars of Art does not have
off-street parking. I have attached a photo ofthe off-street parking for Rockstars ofArt. Applicant
also falsely claims that Rockstars of Art is allowed "to bring in any amount of people for any event
at any time," and that other businesses could "have [an] unlimited amount of staff and clients at
once". Appellant's ignorance ofthe occupancy load limits and parking requirements is troubling.
Finally, Appellant claims that the space proposed by "E Art Gallery," at 2721 E. Coast Highway
has "unlimited" and "open" parking, when in fact it has no parking at all.
THE PROPOSED SPACE DOES NOT AND CANNOT COMPLY WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SAFE BODY ART ACT AND ORANGE COUNTY
HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
The regulations and restrictions on body art facilities and practitioners is very strict. For
example:
1. Body art facilities must
a. obtain and maintain a valid health permit;
b. obtain and operate under a valid infection prevention control plan;
c. have all registrations and permits displayed in a conspicuous space;
d. have sharps waste containers labeled with the words "sharps waste" or with the
international biohazard symbol and the word "BIOHAZARD."
e. have floors, ceilings and walls that are smooth, nonabsorbent, free of open holes, and
washable;
f. have its own toilet facility and if associated with a dwelling, have a toilet facility
separate from the dwelling;
g. be separated from all business not related to body art, at the discretion of the local
enforcement agency;
h. maintain permanently installed sinks that comply will all building standards and that
have their own source of hot water;
i. comply with all current building codes;
422
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 9
It is impossible for the proposed space to meet nearly all of the above requirements.
The Orange County Health permit will not issue at this location.
The ceilings are rough, made of absorbent fibrous tile, are filled with holes and are
not washable. (See Photographs.)
The walls are painted wallboard, which is not permissible material.
The proposed space does not have its own toilet facility.
The proposed space contains at least four other proposed businesses all in a one -
room 417 square -foot space, where 20 square feet are taken by the doorway, and
according to Applicant's and Appellant's drawings, 50 square feet will be used for
storage and 160 square feet will be used as the tattoo procedure area. This leaves
around 190 square feet for walkways, an art gallery, and an art classroom.
the bar sink does not comply with the plumbing code.
In addition, among other things, at least one tenant lives in the building, and thus, the
building contains a dwelling unit. (NB Muni. Code § 20.70.020.) This dwelling utilizes the
building's toilet facility as its bathroom. Therefore not only does the proposed space not have its
own toilet facility as required, the proposed communal building toilet facility is also a dwelling
toilet facility.
In addition, the non -conforming structure ofthe proposed space does not meet the building
standards. For example, the ceilings on the lower level are only TW high. Many building
hallways and doorways do not meet the building or ADA requirements. The sink in the proposed
space does not have its own water heater. The building does not have the required access between
floors. Although the City may permit non -conforming uses in some situations, it may not override
the requirements of the Safe Body Art Act that require tattoo facilities to comply with the building
standards. (Cal Health & Saf Code § 119324.) Because the proposed space cannot conform to the
building standards, it may not operate as a tattoo parlor. Similarly, because Appellant and
Applicant both failed to provide evidence that the proposed space complies with all requirements,
the application and the appeal must be denied.
THE PROPOSED SPACE DOES NOT AND CANNOT COMPLY WITH THE

REQUIREMENTS FOR OBTAINING A MINOR USE PERMIT
The Application contained no evidence necessary to make any of the findings needed to
issue a minor use permit. Other than submitting a stack of pre-printed form letters purporting to
show support, Applicant proffered no evidence to prove any ofthe conditions necessary to receive
a minor use permit.
1. The Applicant must submit evidence to show that the proposed use complies with all other
applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code. (NB Muni Code § 20.52.020.)
Applicant provided nothing to make this showing. Applicant did not submit any proposed
construction plans, did not submit any proposed capacity, did not submit any analysis of parking
requirements. In fact, Applicant could not make this showing, as it would be impossible to meet
this requirement at this location. This building does not conform with the building or zoning
standards of the Municipal Code. If Applicant wished to utilize the non -conforming status of the
building Applicant was required to but did not, submit evidence that the use or structure was
lawfully established, erected, and maintained and is nonconforming by reason of adoption or
amendment of this Zoning Code or by reason of annexation of territory to the City. (NB Muni
Code § 20.38.030.) In addition, to the extent that the non -conforming laws apply, the construction
necessary to make the space useable for a tattoo parlor would require the space to become
conforming, which is not possible. (NB Muni Code § 20.38.040 [For any alterations beyond
routine repair or maintenance, the nonconforming structure shall be required to be brought into
compliance with all applicable standards and regulations of this Zoning Code].)
With respect to the Building Code and Fire Code, it is not possible for the building to meet
the building and fire standards, some of which are described in this letter. Unlike the Zoning Code,
there is no provision for a non -conforming use of a space that does not meet the building or fire
code standards.
With its 7' 4" ceilings, 22" doorways, narrow hallways, lack of elevator, decades old
unpermitted construction and space reconfiguration, just to name a few items, it is impossible for
Applicant to meet this element with regard to the proposed space.

2. The Applicant must submit evidence to show that the design, location, size, and operating
characteristics of the use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity. Applicant did not
and cannot.
The location in the building is not compatible with the other businesses in the building.
Presently there are incompatible businesses such as a children's tutoring business, a counselling
center and my law office. There are also two retail clothing stores, which are not compatible with
tattoo parlors. A block away, there are two other children's tutoring centers (Mathnasium and
Kumon), a children's barber (First Cut), and a children's Taekwondo center (CDM Blackbelt
Center). None are compatible with tattoo parlors or live model private art classes.
In addition, of the current nine tenants in the building of the proposed space, there are
already three businesses that are categorized as "Restricted Use:" two day spas [La Vita Salon &
Spa, Suite 110 and Korean Beauty Skin, suite 204] and a nail salon [Ciel Bleu Nail Care suite 208].
Restricted uses are personal service establishments that may tend to have a blighting and/or
deteriorating effect upon surrounding areas and that may need to be dispersed from other similar
uses to minimize adverse impacts. (NB Muni Code § 20.70.020.) To permit half of the tenants in
this tightly packed building to be restricted use will not serve the purpose of disbursing restricted
use businesses.
3. The Applicant must submit evidence to show that 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. The Applicant did not.
As discussed above, the proposed uses within the proposed space itselfare not compatible
with each other. (E.g. tattooing not compatible with minors, minors not compatible with adult live
models, live models not compatible with tattooing, tattooing not compatible with art supplies and
canvases, etc.) The small size ofthe proposed space is also not compatible with the proposed uses
within the proposed space (Art Gallery, Art Exhibitions and Art Classes in a closet, tattoo
procedure area open and not compatible with personal belongings and porous art canvasses).
425

4. The Applicant must submit evidence to show that the operation of the use at the location
proposed would not be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth ofthe 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. The
Applicant did not.
The increase in traffic and parking is not compatible or in compliance with the Municipal
Code; it is not in keeping with the neighborhood and deprives residents of precious little parking
left. In addition, the proposed space is in a building that abuts a residential neighborhood. The
building is extremely close to other residential dwellings, both across the street and next door.
This further raises health and safety issues, especially because the waste receptacle for the building
is mere feet from one home.
In addition to the above, there is a very real health and safety problem with permitting a
tattoo parlor to operate in a non -conforming building. The Safe Body Art Act was enacted to
reduce the spread of blood-borne pathogens and other blood-borne diseases. Operating a tattoo
parlor in a building that lacks adequate toilet facilities, lacks access to the toilet facilities, lacks
adequate pathways, and has inadequate ventilation, low ceilings with absorbent, non -waterproof
ceiling tiles that traverse the suite boundaries into the hallways would create an unacceptable risk
to the other tenants as well as their customers. Where, as here, a building cannot comply with the
requirements of the Safe Body Art Act, then operating a tattoo parlor in that building would be
unsafe.
APPELLANT'S AND APPLICANT'S PROPOSED USES REQUIRE MORE THAN JUST
A MINOR USE PERMIT.
Appellant and/or applicant seeks to offer classes using live models. "Adult model studio'
means any premises where there is furnished, provided or procured a figure model or models who
pose in any manner which is characterized by its emphasis on matter depicting, describing or
relating to specified sexual activities or specified anatomical parts where such model(s) is being
observed or viewed by any person for the purpose of being sketched, painted, drawn, sculptured,
photographed, filmed, or videotaped for a fee, or any other thing of value, as a consideration,
compensation or gratuity for the right or opportunity to so observe the model or remain on the
426
Newport Beach City Council Letter
Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo
February 26, 2019
Page 13
premises. "Adult-oriented business" includes a business establishment that performs as an adult
model studio. "Live art class" means any premises on which all of the following occur: there is
conducted a program of instruction involving the drawing, photographing or sculpting of live
models exposing specified anatomical parts; instruction is offered in a series of at least two classes;
the instruction is offered indoors; an instructor is present in the classroom while any participants
are present; and preregistration is required at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance of
participation in the class. (NB Muni. Code, § 5.96.010.) Adult Model studios require an adult
oriented business permit, which may only be issued upon the applicant's proof of certain
requirements. (NB Muni. Code, §§ 5.96.015, 5.96.025.) Neither Applicant nor Appellant has
applied for such permit. Even if Applicant or Appellant had applied for such permit, no permit
could be issued, for, among other reasons the fact that:
Tattooing is not allowed on the same premises as an adult oriented business;
the premises cannot comply with the development and design requirements of the
zone in which it is to be located for the specific underlying use, as required;
the premises do not have separate restroom facilities for male and female patrons,
as required;
Minors must not be permitted to enter, which would preclude
Applicant/Appellant's intent to provide private art lessons to minors;
Applicant/Appellant intends to stage special events, which would increase the
parking demand, which is prohibited
NB Muni. Code, § 5.96.025)
Applicant was also required to apply for and obtain either a building permit or a zoning
clearance. (NB Mui. Code § 20.52. 100.) Applicant did not. Had applicant applied for either a
building permit or a Zoning Clearance, Applicant would have realized that the proposed uses
cannot be permitted at this location.
THE PROPOSED USES IMPERMISSIBLY INCREASE PARKING REQUIREMENTS
FOR AN ESTABLISHMENT IN A BUILDING WITH NO PARKING
2721 E. Coast Highway has no on-site parking. Subject to exceptions not available here,
only those new business uses that require no more than one space per 250 square feet and that do

Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo

Page 14
not do not increase the parking capacity may operate at this location. (NB Muni Code, §§
20.38.010 et seq., 2138.010 et seq.) Fractional parking space requirements shall be rounded up to
the next whole space. If more than one use is located on a site, the number of required off-street
parking spaces shall be equal to the sum of the requirements prescribed for each use. (NB Muni
Code, § 20.40.020.) Here, the proposed space is approximately 417 sq. ft. Per section 20.40.040
and Table 3-10, Applicant and Appellant's proposed uses require the following parking spaces
Business Type Off-street parking Number of spaces required
requirement for proposed space
Adult -Oriented Businesses 1 per 1.5 occupants' or as 62
required by conditional use
permit
Retail Sales (Art Gallery) 1 per 250 sq. ft. 2
Studio (dance, music, and 1 per 250 sq. ft. 2
similar)
Personal Services 1 per 250 sq. ft. 2
TOTAL 1 per 40 sq. ft. 12
Applicant and Appellant's proposed uses violate even the non -conforming use parking
requirements and cannot be approved. Moreover, nonconforming parking is only allowed where
the building does not conform only with respect to the parking requirements. In this building,
there are several non -conforming issues. The toilet facilities do not comply with the building
standards, as they are not handicap accessible, they do not have smooth impervious surfaces
surrounding the sink and toilet and they are only 4.75 ft. by 5 ft. in size. The doorways are less
than 24 inches wide, the hallways connecting the bathrooms to the other portions of the building
are only 33 inches wide, and the door to the lower level toilet facility swings out into the hallway
1 maximum occupancy allowed (NB Muni. Code, § 20.40.030.)
2 Using Applicant's value of "7 artists and one model," plus instructor.

in front of the bathroom, which leaves less than 12 inches of clearance to pass to enter the toilet
facility. The ceiling heights are 7 ft. 4 in. high. on the lower level. These are but a few ofthe non-
conforming qualities of the building.
In addition, any increase in occupancy load is permitted only upon issuance of a conditional
use permit, and Applicant/Appellant have not applied for or obtained any such permit. (NB Muni
Code, § 20.38.050.)
BECAUSE THE APPLICANT AND ITS PURPORTED OWNERS FAILED TO SUBMIT
AN ACCURATE TRUTHFUL APPLICATION, AND BECAUSE THE PURPORTED
OWNERS OF THE BUSINESS HAVE FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE MOST
BASIC OF REQUIREMENTS, THEY HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY WILL BE UNABLE
OR UNWILLING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SAFE BODY
ART ACT AND ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
The regulations and restrictions on body art facilities owners and practitioners are very
strict. For example:
2. Body art facility owners must
a. maintain a list of all current and prior body art practitioners operating in the facility and
notify the local agency writing within 30 days of the resignation, termination, or new
hire of a body art practitioner at the body art facility;
b. submit plans to the Plan Review Unit ofthe local enforcement agency. The plans shall
be approved in advance of the issuance of a building, plumbing, or electrical permit;
c. maintain and follow a written Infection Prevention and Control Plan pursuant to Health
and Safety Code section 119313;
d. provide initial and annual in-person, site-specific training to every employee on the
hazards and the protective measures to be taken to minimize the risk of occupational
exposure to blood and OPIM;
e. maintain and follow a written Exposure Control And Prevention in compliance with
OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910. 1030);
f. train all personnel regarding the facility's Infection Prevention and Control Plan, and
maintain logs of the training;
g. Dispose of waste by a licensed waste hauler. Materials shall be disposed ofby disposal
after an approved method of decontamination, by disposal at a licensed treatment
facility, or by removal and transportation through a mail -back system authorized by the
State Department of Public Health;
h. maintain records of all sharps waste for three years.

3. Body art Practitioners must
a. be at least 18 years old;
b. satisfactorily complete OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Training
pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (2) of subdivision (g) of Section 5193 of
Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, or its successor. (Cal Health & Saf Code
119307 [this requirement applies to all practitioners, employees and volunteers]);
c. either be vaccinated against hepatitis B or satisfy all vaccination declination
requirements;
d. be registered with the County where they practice;
e. commit to meet state law and relevant local regulations pertaining to body art safety.
Appellant claims that "the facility will be regularly inspected to ensure a sterile work
environment, as well as meet [sic] all health regulations set by California Safe Body -Art Act."
Staff Report Attachment G [Revised Project Description], page 2.) Appellant is wrong.
Unfortunately, the reality is that the regulatory agencies are overworked and understaffed. As
such, inspections rarely occur and the body art industry is virtually self -regulated. As stated in the
most recent Law Review Article regarding Tattoos:
California requires that tattoo parlors register with the county in which they
operate, and requires counties to perform annual inspections oftattoo parlors.
Cal. Health & Safety Code §§119300-09 (West 2012). However, neither Los
Angeles County nor Orange County require anything approaching annual
inspections, and in an era of year -after -year budget cuts, it is doubtful that other
counties will comply either. In Los Angeles County, which is the most populous
county in the United States, there is one county tattoo inspector to monitor at
least 300 tattoo parlors and 850 tattoo artists. See Anderson, 621 F.3d at 1056.
Many tattoo parlors [in Los Angeles County] have never been inspected and
are subject to no regulations other than the requirement to register with the
County." Id. Indeed, Prix Body Piercing, a tattoo parlor on the famous Colorado
Boulevard in Pasadena, California, has been inspected twice in the last eleven
years. Interview with Eddie "EdD" Herrera, supra note 178. The inspector
ensured that there was soap and running water in the bathroom, hand sanitizer in
the parlor, and a sterilizer. Id. The inspector did not examine whether the
sterilizer was plugged in or in working order. Id. Tellingly, the 'Body Art and
Tattoo" link on the "Permits and Licenses" page of the Los Angeles County
municipal website has been inoperative since at least March, 2011. LA County
Business, http://lacounty.gov/wps/portal/lac/business/ (last visited Apr. 12,
2012) (follow "Permits & Licenses" link; then follow 'Body Art and Tattoos"
link).

In addition, the City's own inspectors have not addressed the existing or past violations in
this building or others. For example, several buildings have had unpermitted construction ongoing
for many months without one violation. At least one tenant of this building resides in his/her
commercial space; in others, doors and windows have been walled over and obstructed, without
violation. We cannot expect the City inspectors or the Orange County Health Department to
constantly police a basement commercial space that has all exterior windows obstructed.
Ms. Gallegos's promise to abide by the law is of no comfort. Because Ms. Gallegos and/or
Mr. Aguirre have been unable to comply with the basics of creating the business entity "E Art
Gallery," because both applicant and Appellant have submitted plans that do not portray the actual
premises, skew the scale, and falsely state the square footage of the proposed premises, there is
good reason to believe that she/he/they will be unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements
of the Safe Body Art Act and the Orange County Health requirements.
HAD THE APPLICANT FOLLOWED THE PROCEDURAL RULES, IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN CLEAR SOONER THAT THE APPLICATION SHOULD BE DENIED
Any applicant for a project requiring more than one permit application (e.g., conditional
use permit, site development review, tentative map, etc.) shall file all related applications
concurrently, with all appropriate application fees. (NB Muni. Code § 2050.030.)
Had Applicant filed all necessary applications concurrently (minor use permit, conditional
use permit, adult oriented business permit, building permit and Zoning Clearance), then we would
not be here, because the City Staff would have seen that the Applicant's proposed uses are not
permissible in this building.
Thank you for considering this objection to the Appeal of Samantha Gallegos regarding
the Planning Commission's proper denial of "E Art Gallery's" minor use permit application. For
the reasons above and more, I urge the City ofNewport Beach and this Honorable City Council to
deny the Appeal.
Yours truly,

March 10th, 2019
Written Response to letter written by Melinda Luthin, received on February 26th, 2019
I, Savaanah Gallegos, have thoroughly, reviewed the 18+ pages of “evidence” brought upon E Art
Gallery. This packet of information is the reason for City Council’s ultimate decision to return my
business proposal to be reviewed, once again, back to Planning Commission on March 21st, 2019. This
entire packet has also been thoroughly reviewed by the Orange County Health Department supervisor,
James Hendron, via phone call with Savaanah Gallegos. As well, this packet has been thoroughly
reviewed by “E Art Gallery’s” assigned Orange County Health Body Art inspector, Allison Mok. E Art
Gallery, also, underwent a site visit by the Newport Beach City Associate Planner Chelsea Crager and
Planning Supervisor, Gregg, shortly after this complaint was filed. E Art Gallery has been in touch with
the OC Health Department since May 2018. ALL necessary paper work demanded by the California Safe
Body Art Act, has been filed or drafted, and sent to OC Health Department, as of June 2018. Health
inspections and health permits are not issued by the OC Health Department of Body Art, until Minor Use
Permits are obtained. It is not a necessity to already have this paper work filed, nor have an assigned
body art inspector for the past year, but we wanted to make sure we have everything right, and get the
OC Health Department part-of-the-process done in the meantime of the process of obtaining our Minor
Use Permit, as it has been 8 months and counting.
E Art Gallery is to be an art gallery [show room] and creative space, that offers art classes and minimal
appointment only Body-Art services; limited to Tattoos.
As there were many things Ms. Luthin wrote that were correct and true, I will only comment on things
that are in bigger question of approving our Minor Use Permit, to save us all [reading] time.
Response to pages 1 & 4;
At this time, “E Art Gallery LLC” is pending with the California Secretary of State as of March 9th, 2019.
There has not been any type of business conducted at the proposed location and has only been utilized
as a creative space; painting, drawing and storage of art supplies. No art manufactured or created at this
location has been sold. We pay our lease here and our landlord, Jeff Brown, is very aware of our current
status with our permits and inspections.
Response to pages 3, 5, 13 & 14;
An “adult oriented business” permit is not necessary, as the models at my live figurative art classes will
not be nude models. All models will be fully clothed.
There has not been any figurative drawing classes conducted, by far. Typically, the figurative classes will
be designated for an older crowd [total of 7 artists] who is knowledgeable of the basics of art and who
can draw on their own. There is no prohibition of children present during tattoo appointments nor [non-
nude] live figurative art classes. The law is simply “119302. (a) Pursuant to Section 653 of the Penal
Code, a client shall be at least 18 years of age to be offered or to receive a tattoo or permanent
cosmetics application, regardless of parental consent.” E Art Gallery does not contribute to the
delinquency of minors. One-on-one art classes will be booked mostly with minors, with their parents’
507
consent. This is an opportunity for children, to have my undivided attention to focus and teach them
what they want to learn about art.
There are much art supplies in my studio, and I am allowed to display curtains during the time we are
not open to the public. The windows are not blacked out. My entire studio is visible through the doors
that is how Luthin was able to capture photos. Nothing to hide, I can assure you, it is all art supplies.
Response to pages 6 & 7;
Ms. Luthin was correct, as she wrote, “…the overall square footage is grossly overstated.” I, accidentally,
used the original square footage (693 sq. ft.) given by our landlord that is clearly outdated. To correct
this issue (See Attached Floor Plan) a local, licensed Corona Del Mar architect drew the original floor
plans and measure corrected the square footage, which turns out to be a total of 513 sq. ft. The
entrance hallway to our common restrooms measure 36 inches (3 feet).
Response to pages 8, 9 & 12;
Here are sections of the California Safe Body Art Act pertaining to Luthin’s concerns on pages 8, 9 and
12. Edgar Aguirre and I are completely aware of the regulations of the California Safe Body Art Act, and
the facility of E Art Gallery currently does not violate any of these regulations. Health Inspections aren’t
conducted until after the Minor Use Permit is obtained.
119312. (a) A body art facility shall not conduct business without a valid health permit. (b) No body art
facility shall allow a practitioner who does not possess a valid practitioner registration to perform body
art procedures at the facility.
119313. (a) A body art facility shall maintain and follow a written Infection Prevention and Control Plan,
provided by the owner or established by the practitioners, specifying the procedures to achieve
compliance with each applicable requirement of this chapter.
119314. (a) With the exception of a temporary demonstration booth, as specified in Sections 119317
and 119318, a body art facility shall comply with all of the following: (1) Have floors, walls, and
ceilings. (2) Have floors and walls that are smooth, nonabsorbent, free of open holes, and washable.
(3) Be free of insect and rodent infestation. (4) Be separate from any residential areas used for
sleeping, bathing, or meal preparation. A body art facility associated with a residential dwelling shall
have a separate entrance and toilet facility, and shall not have a door allowing direct access between the
body art facility and the residential dwelling. (5) Have adequate toilet facilities, in accordance with the
specifications of the State Building Standards Code, local building standard codes, and any other local
ordinance. The sink shall be supplied with hot and cold running water, containerized liquid soap, and
single-use paper towels that are dispensed from a wall-mounted, touchless dispenser. (5) All sinks shall
be permanently plumbed and meet local building and plumbing codes.
(f) A body art facility that does not afford access to a decontamination and sterilization area that meets
the standards of subdivision (c) of Section 119314 or that does not have sterilization equipment shall
use only purchased disposable, single-use, pre-sterilized instruments. In place of the requirements for
maintaining sterilization records, the following records shall be kept and maintained for a minimum of
90 days following the use of the instruments at the site of practice for the purpose of verifying the use
of disposable, single-use, pre-sterilized instruments: (1) A record of purchase and use of all single-use
508
instruments. (2) A log of all procedures, including the names of the practitioner and client and the
date of the procedure. (3) Written proof on company or laboratory letterhead showing that the pre-
sterilized instruments have undergone a sterilization process. Written proof shall clearly identify the
instruments sterilized by name or item number and shall identify the lot or batch number of the
sterilizer run.
(A) Removal and disposal by a licensed waste hauler. Materials shall be disposed of at a licensed
treatment facility or removed and transported through a mail-back system authorized by the
State Department of Public Health.
E Art Gallery currently abides by all of these standards set by California Safe Body Art Act. There is no
standard on ceilings, there is only a mandatory rule that the facility simply has to have a ceiling. The
walls are painted with a commercial grade, non-absorbent paint, painted by our landlord’s building
management. The walls are not painted wallboard. Also, via phone call with the supervisor of Orange
County Health Department, James Herdon, it has been finalized that the proposed facility does not have
to have its own toilet facility, if there are common toilet facilities. Since the toilet facilities are common,
it is not a necessity to have two separate toilet facilities for boy and girl. Sinks in the facility also doesn’t
have to have its own water heater, as long as the water reaches 120 degrees Fahrenheit. E Art Gallery
has one sink, which is in compliance. E Art Gallery will be using single use pre-sterilized sharps and tools.
These sharps are not disposed of in regular waste receptacles; meaning the houses surrounding our
common exterior trash bin, will not be effected. Sharps will be disposed by a licensed waste hauler.
Our proposed location is 2721 E Coast Hwy Suite 104 Corona Del Mar, California 92625. We are located
in a Commercial Corridor, and did not have any knowledge there was a person residing in the building
and I don’t believe anyone resides there. To my knowledge, no one uses our common bathroom who
resides at this building [if so], as the only people who have keys to our common bathroom, are a select
few tenants down stairs including Edgar and I. Although these concerns have been brought up, James
Hendron of the OC Health Department Body Art reassured me that this facility has the potential to be
approved by the Orange County Health Department even if we were opening in a building where there
was residential dwelling associated, as E Art Gallery does not violate the restrictions. Refer to above
section of [119314. #(4)] in the California Safe Body Art Act.
Response to page 15, 16 & 17;
The information listed on page 15 under “2. Body art facility owners must” And on page 16 where
Luthin stated the information under “3. Body art Practitioners must”, Luthin is correct and this
information is true. Edgar Aguirre and Savaanah Gallegos have been aware of these basic facts since
Savaanah has previously, successfully managed a Body Art facility for two years, so there should be no
worries about any of these regulations being violated.
Regardless of Luthin’s intention of this crucial letter, I am happy to inform you all [the public] that our
talent cannot be taken away. This is our livelihood, and I am another woman [23 years old], just like her,
trying to continue to be successful, the right way. We are tenants in the same building and all of this
could have been avoided, if Luthin were to ask or get to know me.
Sincerely,
Savaanah Gallegos

Subject: Tattoo parlor
City Council,
It has me concerned as a parent and homeowner a tattoo parlor is possibly moving in on our street let alone CDM.
This location also had a massage parlor which ended up catering to men. Thankfully the police closed it down. My
concern is the other tenants that would be attracted to locate themselves with a tattoo parlor such as smoke shops,
massage parlors and lingerie stores. I managed my families property and Condomrev wanted the space and we said
no. The new landlord let them in and now there is a smoke shop, lingerie store and record store. Not too many
professional businesses would want to be in the same building as a tattoo parlor.
My kids went to Harbor View Elementary and one is still at CDM High School and we pass by those buildings on a
regular basis. When they were little we walked passed it everyday. The CDM bus stop is right by there and being
exposed to something that is violent to the body is too much for children to see on a regular basis. Kids are cutting
themselves and hurting themselves out of anger and frustration and having a tattoo store close to a school is not
acceptable.
Please do not let them move in. It will hurt my property values. This landlord let a funny massage place move in and
not sure what is next if we let the tattoo place in.
Kindest regards,
Gretchen Schlegel

Dear Newport Beach City Council Members,
As a property owner in Corona Del Mar for over 30 years, I am strongly opposed to a Tattoo Studio
and find that this type of business is NOT appropriate for our neighborhood. My property, on the
500 block of Fernleaf Avenue, is leased to families with small children. Allowing a Tattoo Studio in
Corona del Mar, would cause a loss of income and a decrease in property values. Please consider
that Corona del Mar is a family friendly neighborhood and my objection to any Tattoo Studio.

I understand you will be reviewing the Corona del Mar tattoo parlor once again. Before youdo, I ask that you review the owner’s facebook page, which includes a post regarding
ALREADY offering tattoos in the CDM location as early as April 2018.https://m.facebook.com/Elekkstasy-1148866878497514/?
tsid=0.9718214366990702&source=resultThe whole thing is odd. Why is someone, whose primary clientele is in LA and Las Vegas,
opening a parlor in CDM? Why is there already a tattoo station set up in the facility? Where isthe art gallery? I see a few paintings stacked up against a wall. When has she EVER, in the 9
months of being in the space, held art classes? How has she been paying the lease? It seemsapparent to me this is simply a tattoo parlor...or perhaps something else entirely. Extremely
fishy to say the least. Lastly, do you really think a business of this type is a good fit for thisbeautiful little village?

Subject: E Art Gallery and Tattoo Studio
Chelsea,
I live in Corona del Mar and have just now become aware of an application for a use permit at a
location on Coast Highway to allow for a tattoo operation within an art gallery. I may not be able to
attend the public hearing on 3/21 due to work commitments but I needed to let you know that I
strongly oppose this application.
A tattoo use in a residential neighborhood with limited parking is simply not compatible with the
area. Given what I have read, it seems the art studio operation may not be compatible either. My
focus here, however, is the tattoo use.
Aside from the residential nature of the neighborhood, how is a tattoo parlor consistent with the
other uses in the immediate area of Coast Highway? How does a tattoo parlor promote and support
the overall Coast Highway area in CDM? In the retail and shopping center world, the concept of co
tenancy is very important. To create and build a thriving retail/commercial corridor, the various uses
need to complement each other. The collective sum can and should greater than the individual
parts.
Coast Highway in CDM has more vacancy now than it has since I moved here. The reason for this
vacancy, in my opinion, is because there is no coordinated, researched and long term plan. Instead
of an overall strategic plan, the City appears willing to allow and promote short term, gap filling
thinking. It is this type of thinking that has contributed to the vacancy issue on Coast Highway and
allowing a tattoo parlor at this location will only contribute further to this issue.
I have other issues with the application, i.e. the proposed conditions on the use are almost
completely unenforceable and can easily be ignored, but my primary objection is what I stated
above.

Dear Planning Commissioners:
I am currently a Federal Police Officer with the Department of Defense. I
served 26 years in both the United States Marine Corps and Army. I am a
Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient awarded to me during Operation
Iraqi Freedom. I am a father of eight (5 girls & 3 boys) and a grandfather of
four (3 granddaughters and 1 grandson).
My youngest daughter Angelica is almost 12 years old. She has been
receiving personal training on her drawing skills by Savaanah Gallegos for
over a year. Ms. Gallegos has been inspiring her to continue to improve on
her God giving talents. Angelica has a learning disability that was diagnosed
when she was in first grade. This caused her to have to repeat first grade. It
has been a big struggle for Angelica to keep up with her peers academically.
Angelica always felt shame and different because of her disability to the
point that she no longer wanted to go to school. In third grade this started to
change with the introduction of art into the school’s curriculum. Angelica
found something that she was extremely good at and that her peers took
notice of. Ms. Gallegos has been helping her by teaching her different
techniques in all aspects of drawing. Currently Ms. Gallegos comes to our
home in San Diego occasionally, but we look forward to spending our
Saturdays in Newport Beach at the Art Gallery. Angelica has been improving
academically, and all her classmates and even her teacher come to her for
all thing’s art related. Angelica no longer wants to quit school and no w looks
forward to learning and thriving in her academic studies. She now wants to
become an art teacher to help others, like Ms. Gallegos is doing for her. I

cannot express my gratitude enough to MS. Gallegos for the inspiration,
guidance, and support she has given my daughter, and the many other
young artist’s she works with. We’ve had conversation’s about how excited
she is to be able to hold art classes again in her new studio, for various
levels of up and coming artist’s. I for one, will have no problem traveling
from San Diego to Newport Beach to bring my daughter to be tutored by this
fabulous artist.
During my tours in Iraq, I witnessed the horrors of war first hand. In one of
my tours we flew over with 105 members of our company and our return
flight had only 65. Our company also had an 80% divorce rate amongst our
returning members while we were deployed. My patriotism and my faith are
a big part of who I am having joined the military right out of high school like
the four generations before me. Having been raised faithfully in the church,
my love for GOD is one of the most important things to me. Ms. Gallegos and
Mr. Aguirre were instrumental in putting both of those two parts of my life
together in a mural that was then permanently put on my entire back. I
know that they both travel extensively when requested to perform tattoo and
mural services in and out of the country. I know that this helps finance the
Art Studio in Newport Beach. I truly believe that “E Art Gallery” will be a
positive and inspiring addition to Newport Beach.
Please feel free to contact me if I can help or you need anything else from
me.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Minor Use Permit Application of E Art
Gallery/Savaanah Gallegos Re: 2721 East Coast Highway, Corona del Mar, CA. I apologize for the late

customers, other tenants in the building, or their guests and customers. Please review my attached
comments and also please review the letter that I sent to the City Counsel opposing Ms. Gallegos’s
appeal of your earlier denial of her application.
Your December 2018 decision to deny the permit application was correct. I appreciate the time and
effort you have put into this matter and I look forward to your upholding your original correct
decision.

Re: Opposition To E Art Gallery Minor Use Permit
Dear Chairman Zak and Members of the Newport Beach Planning Commission:
This letter is to voice my objection to the request (“Application”) of an applicant
identifying itself as “E Art Gallery/Savaanah Gallegos,” (“Applicant”) to obtain a minor use permit
to operate a tattoo parlor, AND an art gallery, AND an art studio for art classes in a 417 foot space
located at 2721 East Coast Highway, Corona del Mar, California (“Proposed Site”).
I have formed no opinion regarding whether a tattoo parlor should be established in Corona
del Mar. But a tattoo parlor cannot be established at the Proposed Site and it should not be
established by the Applicant.
A Minor Use Permit, despite its seemingly innocuous name, requires adherence to the
procedural and substantive mandates of the Municipal Code. Applications for minor use permits
must not be granted as a matter of course. The Application is so deficient that it would not have
been accepted for an over-the-counter permit. The Application should not have been accepted for
filing much less recommended for approval. It should not be approved as a minor use permit.
Staff’s acceptance of the Application and recommendation that it be approved ignores
virtually every requirement for issuing a minor use permit.
This letter addresses matters regarding the Proposed Site, the inadequate contents of the
Application, the Staff Report and the procedural issues of the City’s processing of the Application.
I have not repeated the issues contained in my February 2019 letter to the City Council, and I
request that the issues raised in that letter (attached to Staff’s Planning Commission packet) be
considered as well.
I understand that this letter is written only one day before the Planning Commission
meeting, and one or more of you may consider this to be tardy. I also know that the letter is
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
repetitive and not well organized. Please note that I am a member of the public providing my
comments and concerns in my free time. The concerns stated herein should have been addressed
by Staff, who have had since July 2018 to address the issues with the Applicant. The Application
is so flawed, it should not have been accepted for filing. Had the Applicant been required to
provide all necessary information, Staff would have readily concluded that the Proposed Site
cannot be used as a Tattoo Studio. The inadequacy of the Proposed Site would also be readily
discernable by a site visit. For reasons unknown, Staff has chosen to ignore or minimize the issues,
has impermissibly overridden the Code in accepting the Application, and recommends the
Planning Commission Approve a Minor Use Permit that would violate the Municipal Code, State
Law and Federal Law.
THE APPLICATION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED
The Application is wholly inadequate, incorrect, and incomplete. It fails to contain even
the fundamentals of an application for a minor use permit.
“The Director shall review each application for completeness and accuracy before it is
accepted as being complete.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.50.060.) “The determination of
completeness shall be based on the City’s applicable list of required application contents and any
additional written instructions provided to the applicant in any preapplication conference, and/or
during the initial application review period.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.50.060.)
Because the Application was not included in any of the staff reports, in any material
presented at the Planning Commission’s December 2018 meeting, or in any material presented at
the City Council’s February 2019 meeting, I have attached it to this letter. (Exh. 1.)
The Application Should Not Have Been Accepted For Filing Because The Applicant Has No
Authorization To Apply For A Minor Use Permit.
“An application may only be filed by the owner of the subject property or authorized
agent of the owner with the written consent of the property owner. The application shall be
signed by the owner of record or by an authorized agent, if written authorization from the owner
of record is filed concurrently with the application.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.50.040.)
“[T]he words ‘shall,’ ‘must,’ ‘will,’ ‘is to,’ and ‘are to’ are always mandatory.” (CNB
Muni. Code, § 20.12.020.)

Jeff Brown is the owner of the building. The Application, submitted by “E Art
Gallery/Savaanah Gallegos,” is signed by Savaanah Gallegos and an unidentified “lessee,” but the
file does not contain a writing from the property owner authorizing “E Art Gallery,” “Savaanah
Gallegos,” or anyone else to act as the owner’s agent.
When the Application first came to my attention, I asked Mr. Brown if he were the
applicant. He sated that he was not. Chelsea Crager at the City Planning Department confirmed
that “E Art Gallery” was the applicant and that it was signed by “Savannah Gallegos.”1 I asked
Mr Brown if he had executed any writing authorizing Savanah Gallegos or anyone to act as his
agent. Mr. Brown stated that he had not. Mr. Brown stated that per Ms. Gallegos’s request, he
wrote a letter attesting to his ownership of the building, and nothing more.
This week I went to the City Planning Department and requested to look at the file. The
Application contains only one letter, as described by Mr. Brown, which is copied below. (Exh. 1.)
The Application affidavit is filled out in what appears to be the same handwriting as the
rest of the application (presumably that of Ms. Gallegos), as follows:
1 Ms. Craiger misspelled Ms. Gallegos’s first name, which is apparently spelled “Savaanah”

that they are the signatures of the “lessee,” and not the property owner.
To summarize:
• An affidavit must be signed by the person named as the affiant in order to be effective;
• The purported affiant (Jeffrey Brown) did not sign the affidavit;
• Even if the affiant had been identified as “Savaanah Gallegos” or the other “lessee” (whose name is presently unknown), the signatures would not be effective because the owner did not designate anyone as his authorized agent, as required.
This Application should not have been accepted for filing.
The Application Should Not Have Been Accepted For Filing Because It Does Not Contain The
Required Information
The Application submitted to the City consists only of the filled-out form and a one
paragraph statement by Savaanah Gallegos. The one-paragraph statement is essentially, “I want
it, so give it to me.” It is wholly devoid of any of the required information and should not have
been accepted for filing, much less recommended for approval.
“Each permit application required by this Zoning Code shall be filed with the Department
on the appropriate City application form, together with ... all other information and materials
specified by the Director for the specific type of application.” (CNB Muni. Code, §§ 20.50.040,
20.52.020.)
“[T]he words ‘shall,’ ‘must,’ ‘will,’ ‘is to,’ and ‘are to’ are always mandatory.” (CNB
Muni. Code, § 20.12.020.)
A “minor use permit provides a process for reviewing uses and associated operational
characteristics that may be appropriate in the applicable zoning district, but whose effects on a site
and surroundings cannot be determined before being proposed for a specific site.” (CNB Muni.
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
Code, § 20.52.020.) It is impossible for Staff or the Planning Commission to conform to the
process for minor use permits where, as here, Staff has not received necessary information
regarding the specific site and proposed use.
Incorrect, and missing maps and information.
An application for a minor use permit must include a written statement describing the
proposed project in detail. (Exh. 2 [CNB Conditional & Minor Use Permit Information].)
The Permit application should include: Lot Area; Building/Lot Coverage (%); Number of
Seats; Lot Width; Building Height; Dwelling Units; Lot Depth; Landscaping (%); Hours of
Operation; Setbacks; Paving (%); Use; Gross Floor Area (sq. ft.); Parking; Floor Area Ratio; and
the Number of Employees. (Exh. 2 [CNB Conditional & Minor Use Permit Information].)
“Use Permits requiring Planning Commission approval shall be submitted with eight (8)
standard sets and one (1) reduced set of plans. Twelve (12) additional sets (size to be determined)
of final drawings (after staff review) will be required prior to the Planning Commission Meeting.”
(Exh. 2 [CNB Conditional & Minor Use Permit Information].)
All plans shall adhere to the following
• Drawn to scale no less than 1/8’ = 1’
• Standard size plans are to measure 24”x36” (with details itemized on 8 ½”x 11” sheets, if necessary) and folded no larger than 8 ½”x14” when submitted
• Reduced size plans are to be measured between 8 ½”x11” to 11”x17” (with details
itemized on 8 ½”x 11” sheets, if necessary) and folded no larger than 8 ½“x 11”
when submitted
(Exh. 2 [CNB Conditional & Minor Use Permit Information].)
Plot plans or site plans shall be fully dimensioned and show the following information on
the subject property. The plot plan shall show these items abutting the property a minimum of 20
feet from the boundaries of the site:
• Vicinity map, north arrow, and scale of the plan
• Existing and proposed property lines
• Required and proposed front, side, and rear-yard setback lines – measured and dimensioned from property lines
• Location, name, dimension, and description of all existing and proposed right-of-
way lines, dedications, and easements

• Locations of existing and proposed structures, additions, utilities, driveways, walkways, and open volume areas
• Any structure(s) to be relocated, removed, or demolished
• Location, height, and material of existing and proposed walls and fences
• Location of all trash enclosures and how they will be accessed
• Location, dimension, description, and number of parking spaces/areas
• Location, height, size, and materials of existing and proposed signs
• Existing and proposed grade elevations and any significant natural features
• An information block containing the name and telephone number of the contact
person and calculations in tabular form showing compliance with applicable property development regulations (i.e., density, floor area limits, height, parking, etc.)
The Application contains no drawings, no description of the space or the building layout.
The application contains none of the above required information. From the time the Application
was filed to the date of the February 2019 City Council Meeting, six versions of the same drawing
were submitted to the City by or on behalf of Applicant. (Exh. 3.) None of these drawings contain
the required information, every drawing is inaccurate, and the proposed layouts contain misleading
scales. I sent a corrected floorplan of the Proposed Site and the bathrooms along with photographs
showing tape measurers that indicated the dimensions.
Applicant did not submit any elevation drawings, vicinity maps, plot plans, accurate site
plans or any drawings containing the above required information.
The Staff Report contains two new drawings (which do not contain the requisite
information). These two drawings contain misleading and inaccurate dimensions. The stated
measurements are not accurate measurement of the interior space. In addition, the measurements
do not depict reality. (Exh. 4 [additional photographs with tape measurer].) For instance, the
walkway to the bathrooms is not 36”. It is 32” at the bottom baseboards and 33” at the walls.
Similarly, the room dimensions are also wrong. (Exh. 4.) In addition the Staff Report indicates
that Applicant now claims that the Proposed Site is nearly forty percent (40%) smaller than the
Applicant’s original statement of size (new drawings state site is 513 sq. ft.; previous claim was
693 sq. ft.) Again, Staff has taken Applicant’s word for the square footage, despite the fact that
calculations using the dimensions stated on Applicant’s own drawings do not support Applicant’s
purported site square footage. (Do the math, A rectangle = b • h.)
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
It is concerning that Staff would accept as true, drawings containing dimensions and
square footages that contradicted my photographs, and that contradict Applicant’s own drawings,
especially because the Staff Report indicates that Staff actually visited the site. A quick flick of a
measuring tape would have determined that the latest drawings, like all of the previous drawings,
are incorrect.
None of the drawings shows an accurate room layout. I have used the latest Staff Report
drawing to create a viable layout. (Exh. 5.) Even using the overstated dimensions, the maximum
occupancy of the “creative pace,” is two persons and a model. How is it possible that Applicant
will hold “art classes” with a live model for seven people, wholly within the “creative space,” as
Applicant has proposed?
In addition to the complete lack of accurate site drawings or site information, the project
description is equally devoid of any pertinent or required information.
The Application must include a detailed description of the project that must also include
“any relevant information which supports the application and the required findings pursuant to
Section 20.52.020 F [requirements for minor use permits].” (CNB Conditional & Minor Use
Permit Information; CNB Muni. Code, § 20.52.020 [“It is the responsibility of the applicant to
provide evidence in support of the findings required by subsection (F) of this section”].)
In addition to providing a detailed description of the project, the Applicant was required
to, but did not provide the following:
1. Evidence indicating that the use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plan;
2. Evidence indicating that 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. Evidence indicating that the design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the
use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity;
4. Evidence indicating that 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
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
5. Evidence indicating that the 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.
The Application’s description is one paragraph long, which is copied below in its entirety:
E Art Gallery is an art studio, which includes painting and
figurative drawing classes, painting canvas, commissioned
artwork, and Body Art. Savaanah Gallegos and Edgar Aguirre are the owners and employees of E Art Gallery, whom are certified, licensed professionals and adhere to standards set by OSHA and particular guidelines and state
laws. Hours open to the public will be set from 1000-2000,
Monday to Sunday, and mostly operated by appointment. Thank you for your time and consideration.
This three-sentence paragraph is as if an afterthought. It is not a detailed description of
anything. It does not even mention the location! It provides none of the required detail or evidence
to support granting the application.
No over-the-counter permit would be issued on this information. A minor use permit
certainly should not be issued based on this completely devoid application.
The Application Should Not Have Been Accepted Because It Was Not Filed Concurrently With All
Other Required Applications
“Any applicant for a project requiring more than one permit application (e.g., conditional
use permit, site development review, tentative map, etc.) shall file all related applications
concurrently, with all appropriate application fees required by Section 20.50.050 (Application
Fees).” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.50.030.) Applicant did not file all her applications at once.
“Multiple applications for the same project shall be processed concurrently,...” (CNB Muni. Code,
§ 20.50.030.) The Application was not filed concurrently with all other required applications. It
should not have been filed and must not be approved.
Staff’s claims that Applicant need not have the Planning Commission approve all of the
permit applications and approvals for each of her proposed uses is wrong. In addition to the
requirement that multiple applications be filed and processed simultaneously, “Multiple
applications for the same project ... shall be reviewed and approved, modified, or denied by the
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
highest review authority designated by this Zoning Code for any of the applications.” (CNB
Muni. Code, § 20.50.030.)
The minor use permit application processes and procedures “are carried out after those
described in Chapter 20.50 (Permit Application Filing and Processing) for each application.”
(CNB Muni. Code, § 20.52.010.)
These procedural mandates may not be waived by staff or anyone. (CNB Muni. Code, §§
20.12.020, 20.52.090.)
The Applicant did not first comply with the applications required by Chapter 20.50, and
thus, the Application must not be approved.
In addition, the Proposed Project is a new use at the Proposed Site. As such, it requires a
Zoning Clearance and also a building permit, if modification are to be made. (CNB Muni. Code,
§ 20.52.100.)
In addition, if the proposed art classes involve “live models exposing specified anatomical
parts,” or if the proposed studio is one where there is furnished, provided or procured a figure
model or models who pose in any manner which is characterized by its emphasis on matter
depicting, describing or relating to specified sexual activities or specified anatomical parts,” then
additional permitting is required and additional restrictions apply, some of which are incompatible
with tattoo parlors. (CNB Muni. Code, Chap. 5.96.)
Although the requirements above are mandatory, in an apparent attempt to ignore these
requirements, the Staff Report states that with respect to the proposed “studio,” “an approval of
use permit is not required.” The Report is wrong.
“Permitted Uses [are] [p]ermitted subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of
this Zoning Code, issuance of a zoning clearance (Section 20.52.100), and any building permit or
other permit required by the Municipal Code. These are shown as “P” uses in the tables. (CNB
Muni. Code, § 20.16.030.)
Even if no construction is performed, at the least, the Applicant was required to apply for
this Zoning Clearance simultaneously with its application for minor use permit. Applicant did not.
In addition, although the Staff Report incorrectly states the scope of required construction,
the Staff Report acknowledges that construction will be necessary for the site to be permissible for
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
use s a tattoo parlor. As such, the Applicant was required to apply for a building permit
simultaneously with its application for minor use permit.
With respect to the live models, Staff states that “there is no indication that models will
meet the definition of an adult model studio’’ as described by the Municipal Code.” Staff does not
fulfill its job by merely sitting that there is “no indication.” Staff must inquire as to the type of live
modelling planned. This is especially true here, because every social media site of Ms. Gallegos
(who goes by the street name of “”Elekkstasy”) contains artwork, virtually all of which depict
nudes, none of which are compatible with Applicant’s proposal to teach art to children as young
as ten years old, without their parent’s presence. (Exh. 6.)
Regardless, Applicant must obtain either a building permit or a Zoning Clearance. The
application for one or the other must have been filed with the Application. (CNB Muni. Code, §
20.52.100.) None was filed.
THE PROPOSED LOCATION IS IN A BUILDING THAT DOES NOT AND CANNOT EVER
COMPLY WITH THE CODE REQUIREMENTS
Corona del Mar is on the verge of blight. Many buildings are run-down and do not comply
with the building codes. Many spaces in buildings have been vacant for years. The building
located at 2721 is no exception. It is a troubled building with a troubled past. The permit history
indicates that no building permits have been pulled for decades despite obvious construction to the
front and central courtyard. (See Staff presentation photographs from December 2018 and
February 2019 indicating complete replacement of awnings, structural supports, and electrical
lighting) None of the toilet facilities or pathways meet ADA requirements. The lower level drop-
ceilings are too low. Advertising signs are plastered on nearly every vertical surface (See Exh. 7
from Staff presentation photographs). Multiple doors are nailed shut. Unpermitted shoddy work
is visible from the street and within the common areas, At least one of the suites doubles as a
residence. Only a few years ago, there was a major arrest of a prostitution ring at Suite 110. (Exh.
8.)
All of the windows at two businesses in this building are completely obscured. One of
them is “E. Art Gallery.” As described below, the other business’s windows are obscured with
huge decals (like bus wraps) containing a larger-than-life photograph of a scantily-clothed woman

E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
inviting the reader to walk in and experience their “Korean hand technique!” This is not
permissible, but to date, nothing has been done to rectify it.
The Purpose of the “Zoning Code [is] to promote the orderly development of the City;
promote and protect the public health, safety, peace, comfort, and general welfare; protect the
character, social, and economic vitality of neighborhoods; and to ensure the beneficial
development of the City.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.10.020.) Accepting and recommending
approval of an incomplete and inaccurate application for a minor use permit at an impermissible
site does not promote or adhere to the purpose or the mandates of the Zoning Code.
The Zoning Code recognizes that restricted uses such as tattoo parlors and day spas have a
tendency to have a blighting and/or deteriorating effect upon surrounding areas. (CNB Muni Code,
§ 20.70.020.) As such, the Zoning Code requires these restricted uses to be dispersed and requires
them to obtain a minor use permit. Contrary to the Staff Report, there are presently three restricted
use businesses operating in this building alone, none of which have applied for or obtained minor
use permits. According to the December 2018 Staff Report, there are already an additional
eight restricted use personal services businesses within two blocks of the Proposed site, and
again, none of these are operating under a minor use permit, as required.
Eleven restricted use personal services within two blocks is too many. The City needs to
focus on requiring the owners to fix the buildings and needs to focus on enforcing its Codes. 2721
E. Coast Highway, with its obscured windows, rampant unlawful advertising, doors that are nailed
shut, and non-complaint spaces and bathrooms needs to come into compliance and needs to stop
housing any more restricted personal use businesses. Permitting one more restricted use personal
services business at 2721 East Coast Highway, a run-down non-complaint building will contribute
to the blighting of CdM.
THE STAFF REPORT
“Whenever this Zoning Code requires a set of findings to be made before granting approval
of an application by the applicable review authority, it shall be the responsibility of the Department
to present all relevant facts to support the findings.” (CNB Muni Code, § 20.50.070.)
The Staff Report reminds the Planning Commission that it must make findings to support
its decisions, but fails in its duties to provide the Planning Commission with those necessary facts.
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
Instead, the Staff Report is devoted almost entirely to “rebutting” the comments in my February
letter. This is not only improper, it is unhelpful and inadequate.
Unless the Planning Commission is provided facts to support each element required for
issuing a minor use permit, the Application must be denied. (CNB Muni Code, § 20.52.090
[“review authority may approve or conditionally approve a variance only after first making all of
the [identified] findings”].) Because there are no facts to support any of the six identified required
findings, the Application must be denied.
The Staff Report Does Contains Conclusions Without The Required Information
Because the Staff Report states that the Application should be approved, it was required to
but did not contain facts to support the finding. (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.50.070.)
No facts to support a finding that the use is consistent with the General Plan and any
applicable specific plan. The Staff Report does not mention the General Plan at all.
No facts to support and/or incorrect facts regarding a finding that the use is allowed within
the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code.
The Staff Report concludes without any facts that the Proposed Site contains an “existing
art gallery/studio,” that purportedly “is a permitted use and approval of use permit is not required.”
This conflicts with the CNB license database that indicates no business is licensed to operate at
this location and conflicts with the Zoning Code Requirements. (See comments above.)
No Facts To Support And/Or Incorrect Facts Regarding A Finding That The Use Is A Legal
Nonconforming Use.
The only mention of the Zoning Code compliance in the Staff Report regards parking. The
Staff Report mentions no other aspect of compliance with the Zoning Code.
With Respect to the Zoning Code parking requirements, the Staff Report claims that
because Staff could not find any of the original plans for the building, building’s lack of parking
must be a legal nonconforming use. This is wrong. The default law is that parking must meet the
minimum requirements. In certain circumstances where “legally established uses and structures
become nonconforming due to reclassification, ordinance changes, or annexations,” persons may
apply for continued or changed uses so long as certain criteria are met. “When a use or structure
does not conform with the applicable use regulations or property development standards for the
zoning district in which it is located, it shall be the responsibility of the owner to provide
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
evidence that the use or structure was lawfully established, erected, and maintained and is
nonconforming by reason of adoption or amendment of this Zoning Code or by reason of
annexation of territory to the City.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.38.030.)
The prospective building has no off-street parking. If a person wishes to take advantage of
the legal nonconforming use parking provisions, the burden is on the person to prove the present
use is within the definition of legal nonconforming uses. If the person cannot so prove, then the
use is not legal nonconforming and any Application that requires compliance with the Zoning Code
must be denied. Because the Applicant did not prove that the structure and use were not lawfully
established and erected, then the use is illegal. Moreover, the permit history shows that the
building had parking and loading at one time, which was built over without permits. The use is
illegal and no variance to the parking requirements is permitted.
Because the present lack of parking at the Proposed Site is illegal, the following applies
without exception, “Each use, including a change or expansion of a use ... shall have appropriately
maintained off-street parking and loading areas in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
A use shall not be commenced and structures shall not be occupied until improvements required
by this chapter are satisfactorily completed.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.40.020.)
The Staff Report claims that I miscalculated the required number of parking spaces. The
Report claims that
When a business engages in several activities from the same space, the most restrictive parking rate is applied to the entire suite. Each
of the uses the applicant plans to operate requires parking at a rate of one parking space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. suggestion would apply the 1:250 parking requirement to each of the three activities in the space thereby tripling the required parking for the use.
From there, the Staff Report concludes, with no analysis or facts, that: (1) the building’s
lack of parking is legal non-conforming; (2) the three proposed business operations will not
increase the intensity of traffic and parking; and (3) the proposed use meets the nonconforming
use restrictions.
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
The Staff Report is wrong, wrong and wrong. The Code is clear, “If more than one use is
located on a site, the number of required off-street parking spaces shall be equal to the sum of the
requirements prescribed for each use.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.40.030.)
Because Applicant stated that she intends to operate an art studio, and an art school and a
tattoo parlor, the parking requirements for the space is equal to the sum of the parking requirements
for each use. (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.40.030.) Because the building is illegal regarding parking,
and because the building currently has no parking, then if Applicant wishes to have any one or
more uses permitted, she must first construct the proper number of off-street parking spaces for
her intended uses.
The Staff Report improperly treats mandated matter as discretionary. Compliance with
this provision is mandatory and Staff has no discretion to waive its requirements. The Staff
Report’s admission that Staff has “never,” required compliance with this law does not give Staff
permission to ignore it now.
In addition to the comments above, “If conflicts occur between requirements of this Zoning
Code, or between this Zoning Code and other provisions of the Newport Beach Municipal Code,
or other adopted regulations of the City, the more restrictive provision shall prevail.” (CNB Muni.
Code, § 20.12.020.) Staff may not create its own rules as to the mandates of the Municipal Code,
nor may Staff pick and choose with which provisions it must comply and which it may ignore.
No facts to support a finding that the use is allowed within the applicable zoning district or
that the use complies with all other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.
The Staff Report concludes without any facts that the Proposed Site will accommodate an
art studio and a two tattoo stations. The Staff Report is wrong. “Nothing in this Zoning Code
eliminates the need for obtaining other permits required by the City; regulations of a special district
or agency; or regulations of a State or Federal agency.” (CNB Muni. Code, §20.10.040.)
Where the provisions of the “Zoning Code requires compliance with other applicable
provisions, [as with minor use permits, such provisions] shall be in addition to the requirements of
this Zoning Code. Other applicable provisions may include, but are not limited to, ... adopted
criteria/guidelines, City policies, and/or State and Federal regulations.” (CNB Muni. Code,
§20.10.040.)
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
The Staff Report wholly ignores the requirement that it must provide facts to support a
conclusion that the use complies with the other provisions of the Municipal Code, including, the
Building Code and the Fire Code.
There is no fact to indicate any analysis of the Fire Code requirements, occupancy
restrictions or ADA access. There is no fact to support any finding that the Proposed Site complies
with the Building Code, and it does not. Although I have not analyzed all building code violations,
the Staff should have done so. In my previous letter, I described the Building Code violations
regarding the site ceiling height, the bathroom walkways, door opening, size, materials and
fixtures. The Staff Report does not even mention these violations. Instead, the Staff Report
appears to claim that the Applicant may rely on a non-existent prior use variance. This is incorrect.
While there may be some instances where a variance of a Zoning Code may be granted, any such
variance must be granted upon application.
Moreover, no Building Code variance is permitted. It is Staff’s responsibility to make and
provide findings regarding compliance with the Zoning Code AND the Fire Code AND the
Building Code AND all other provisions of the Municipal Code. Staff did not.
The Staff Report acknowledges that the “new” drawings indicate that the Proposed Site is
nearly forty percent (40%) smaller than the Applicant’s original statement of size but concludes
without facts or analysis that this large discrepancy is not a “substantial change” to the scope of
the project and states that there is no reason to believe that the Applicant purposefully tried to
deceive Staff. Applicant’s purported innocent intentions do not negate the requirements of the
Code or excuse Staff from performing the required analysis.
The Staff Report then states that “Staff does not believe this issue has any significant
bearing on the application or the hearing” and states that the “full and complete analysis of the
proposed use” contained in the old December 2018 Staff Report applies to this much smaller space.
It is not possible that the December 2018 analysis of the code requirements for and
occupancy restrictions of a nearly 700 square foot space would be the same as analysis of a stated
500 square foot space that is actually more like 420 square feet. This reduces the size of the “art
classroom” to that of an area rug. (Exh. 5.)

No Facts Or Law Supports Staff’s Claim That Building Code Requirements May Be
Ignored
The Staff Report claims that the Municipal Code definition of “Nonconforming structure”
contained in section 20.70.020 permits Staff to relax or remove Building Code requirements. The
Staff Report is wrong.
“Nonconforming structure” means a structure that was lawfully
erected, but that does not conform to the property development
regulations for the zoning district in which the structure is located
by reason of adoption or amendment of this Zoning Code or by
reason of annexation of territory to the City.
By its plain language, the definition of “Nonconforming Structure” regards compliance
with the Zoning Code, not the Building Code.
Under Chapter 20.16, “DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE APPROVAL
REQUIREMENTS,” “Uses and/or structures shall comply with all applicable development
standards of this part, the provisions of Part 3 (Site Planning and General Development Standards)
and Part 4 of this title (Standards for Specific Land Uses), and other adopted criteria, guidelines,
and policies adopted by the City related to the use and development of land.” (CNB Muni. Code,
§ 20.16.020.) “Nonconforming Uses and Structures. Uses and structures that are determined to be
nonconforming as to the requirements of this Zoning Code shall be subject to the requirements and
limitations of Chapter 20.38 (Nonconforming Uses and Structures).” (CNB Muni. Code, §
20.16.020.)
Staff has proffered no provision in the Building Code that permits Staff, the Planning
Commission or the City Council to waive non-compliance of the Provision of the Building Code
based on legal non-conforming status. Staff may not rely on a Zoning Code provision to create a
non-existent rule permitting non-compliance with the Building Code.
The Staff Report also states that the application should not be denied on this basis because
City Staff has issued lots of permits in violation of the Building Code requirement. Again, the
applicable Municipal Code sections are mandatory. City Staff’s past violations of its the Municipal
Code mandates does not permit or justify further violations.

Where, as here, the building does not comply with the Building Code requirements (some
of which are discussed in my February letter), a minor use permit may not issue.
No facts to support a finding that the design, location, size, and operating characteristics of
the use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity
The only mention of this criteria is the statement in the staff Report that “Staff therefore
expects the proposed tattoo studio and art gallery to operate in an effective and non-detrimental
manner that would be compatible with the surrounding commercial tenants and commercial uses
in the area.” The Staff’s attempt to replace its responsibility to proffer evidence that the proposed
space is complaint with some nebulous comment that the business owner should play nice with
the neighbors is nonsensical and provides no facts to show that the design, location, size, and
operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity.
Worse, the Staff Report states, “The Planning Commission should include specific
factual information to support the action in any newly adopted resolution.” Staff’s attempt
to pass the buck to the Planning Commission is not only improper, it is not sufficient to prove this
element has been met.
No facts to support a finding that 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.
The Staff Report does not mention this requirement at all.
No facts to support a finding that 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.
The Staff Report does not mention this requirement at all.

need to be dispersed from other similar uses to minimize adverse impacts, includ[e],” day spas,
Healing arts (acupuncture, aromatherapy, etc.) with no services qualifying under “massage
establishments,” Tanning Salons and Tattoo Services and body piercing studios.
In its December 2018 Staff Report, Staff acknowledged that La Vita Salon/Spa (located in
Suite 110) is indeed a “personal service, restricted,” establishment that was required to, but did
not, hold a minor use permit. The December 2018 Staff Report was distributed before a new
business went into suite 204 of the Proposed Building. This new business has no specific name,
but it does have all of its windows (unlawfully) obscured with decals of a woman scantily clothed
in a flowing pink tube-top type massage gown. (Exh. 9.) The text above and below the larger-
than-life woman appearing on the two huge (unpermitted and unlawful) decals that cover the entire
7 foot by 7 foot and 9 foot x 7 foot floor-to-ceiling windows exclaims, “Rejuvenate, Lift & Detox
your skin with our Korean Hand Technique!”
Despite this, the latest Staff Report now claims that La Vita Salon and Spa - - isn’t a spa.
It also claims that the unnamed business with obscured windows and a nailed-shut door offering
to “Rejuvenate, Lift & Detox your skin with our Korean Hand Technique!”(See Exh. 9) is also
not a day spa. If that’s not a day spa, it’s time to call the cops again.
The Staff Report’s Claim That Site Is And Will Comply With The Safe Body Art Act Is
Wrong
The Staff Report claims that “Staff has reviewed the California Safe Body Art Act and
spoken with a representative of the Orange County Health Department. Based on this research and
discussion, staff believes that the tenant space will be able to comply with regulations with only
minor modifications (paint/floors).” Staff’s “belief,” which is stated without any factual evidence,
is of no assistance, especially in light of the fact that its belief contradicts facts.
As detailed in my February letter, the California Safe Body Art Act mandates that all
facilities comply with the Building Code. In addition, the local enforcement agency (Here County
of Orange Health Care Agency Public Health Services [“OCHCA”]) may implement standards
that are more restrictive than the Safe Body Art Act. (Cal Health & Saf Code § 119324.) Here,
OCHCA has implemented such regulations which mandate that all body art facilities’ “Floors,
walls, and ceilings in procedure areas, restrooms and decontamination and sterilization areas shall
be smooth, free of open holes, and washable.” (Exh. 10 [OCHCA, Environmental Health,
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
Construction Guidelines for Body Art Facilities, GENERAL CONSTRUCTION
REQUIREMENTS], p.5.) The Local Agency also mandates that all new establishments must meet
the new construction Building Codes. (Exh. 10 [OCHCA, Environmental Health, Construction
Guidelines for Body Art Facilities], p.2.)
Regardless of what Staff says someone told them during one conversation, the
requirements of the Safe Body Art Act and OCHCA mandate that, among other things, that the
ceilings must be raised by at least 8 inches, and the walls and ceilings must be replaced with
material that is non-absorbent, smooth and washable.
The Body Art Facility is the “section of a building ... in which a practitioner performs or
demonstrates for the purpose of instruction, body art, including reception areas, the procedure area,
and the decontamination and sterilization area.” The body art facility must have its own “adequate
toilet facilities, in accordance with the specifications of the State Building Standards Code, local
building standard codes, and any other local ordinance.” (Cal Health & Saf. Code, § 119301.)
The Proposed Site does not have its own toilet facility. Nor are the public facilities in accordance
with the Building Code.
A body art facility and must have “a water heater which is capable of constantly supplying
hot water at a temperature of at least 120°F to all sinks and other cleanup facilities.” (Exh. 10
[OCHCA, Environmental Health, Construction Guidelines for Body Art Facilities], p.5.) The
Proposed Site does not.
It is disingenuous for the Staff Report to state that Staff “believes” that the Proposed site
will comply with the requirements of a Body Art Facility with only a coat of paint and a new floor
when it has no rational basis for this belief.
The Staff Report Dismisses Important Concerns And Grants Variances Without An Application
For Variance And Without Making Any of The Findings Necessary for Granting A Variance.
Variances to the Zoning Code requirements may only be approved on an application duly
filed in conformance with Muni. Code chapter 20.50. (Muni. Code, § 20.52.090.) No variance
may be granted unless certain specific findings are made. (Muni. Code, § 20.52.090.)
Applicant filed no application for any Zoning Code variance. Nor does the Staff Report
make any of the required findings for any Zoning Code variance. (Muni. Code, § 20.52.090 [e.g.
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
unique circumstances, necessity of variance, will not be inconsistent with limitations on nearby
properties, etc.].)
The Staff Report Does Not Address The Deficiencies In The Application
The Staff report states that “a full and complete analysis of the proposed use is provided in
the attached December 6, 2018 Planning Commission staff report.” It is not.
From there the Staff Report states several times that Staff “believe[s] that sufficient facts
exist in support of each finding required by NBMC Section 20.52.020.F.” Staff’s belief is of no
consequence.
Staff has confused the requirement of proffering evidence sufficient to make findings with
the requirement that findings must be made. In so doing, Staff’s attempts to pass the responsibility
of proffering evidence sufficient to make findings onto the Commission when the responsibility
of proffering the evidence lies with the Applicant and the analysis and presentation of the evidence
lies with City Staff. Because no evidence is sufficient to grant the permit, the Commission is
capable of making only one finding: that there is insufficient evidence to grant the application.
The Staff’s Proposed Restrictions Aren’t
Staff’s proposed “Restrictions” amount to little more than demands that the Applicant
abide by the law. These are hardly “restrictions,” and are merely reminders of rules by which all
persons must abide.
Including In The Staff Report, “Rebuttals” To Comments Of A Member Of The Public Is
Inappropriate.
Throughout the latest Staff Report, I, a member of the public am repeatedly identified by
name. This is not proper. When a member of the public raises concerns regarding an application,
Staff should evaluate those concerns and address them in the Staff Report, as appropriate. Singling
out a member of the public by name serves no legitimate purpose and will likely have the improper
consequence of intimidating other members of the public, who will refrain from providing
substantive comments under fear of reprisal. This is especially true in this instance, as no other
person who provided comments was identified by name in the Staff Report.
In addition, applications for minor use permits are not contests among private
parties or adversarial proceedings of a member of the public versus the applicant and City. City
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
Staff should evaluate the permit application in light of the requirement. Staff should not be
advocates. The Statements in the Staff Report indicate that Staff lost sight of its duties and
function. Staff must consider the comments of the public but it should not be “rebutting” them in
a Staff Report. Staff should be neutral in evaluating an application and should not treat members
of the public with disdain or contempt. The Staff Report indicates that Staff was not neutral. Not
only does the Staff Report unnecessarily identify me by name nine times, it uses improperly, the
term “alleges,” when discussing the issues that I raised in my February letter and dismisses the
requirements of the Municipal Code as “Ms. Luthin’s suggestion.”
The Staff Report Indicates That Staff Failed In Its Duties To The Commission And To The Public.
The City owes a duty to all of its residents and the public at large to regulate businesses
and enforce its laws, regardless of whether a member of the public has so requested. In fulfilling
this duty, staff must evaluate an application to determine its completeness and accuracy (CNB
Muni Code, § 20.50.060), and to determine whether the application complies with and is consistent
with the provisions of the Zoning Code, the General Plan, and other applicable provisions
identified in Municipal Code Section 20.10.040 (CNB Muni Code, § 20.50.060). Staff did not.
The Staff Report indicates that, instead of determining accuracy of the facts in the
Application, Staff merely took the Applicant’s word, despite the Applicant’s past failures to
provide accurate information. For example, The Applicant submitted seven different floorplans
for the Proposed Space, none of which are accurate. The Staff Report indicates that after I
submitted an accurate floorplan and photographs of the Proposed Site, some of which included
measuring tapes indicating the dimensions, Staff visited the site. Despite having visited the site,
the Staff Report indicates that instead of measuring the Proposed Space for itself, Staff relied on
the Applicant to submit a revised floorplan. The Staff Report indicates that Staff accepted the
dimensions in Applicant’s latest floor plan, despite the fact that I had submitted photographs with
measuring tapes indicating the correct dimensions.
In my February letter, I state that the Proposed Space does not comply with the Building
Code. Staff ignored my comments other than to say, that compliance with the Building Code is
not required.

THE APPLICANT HAS SHOWN REPEATEDLY THAT HE/SHE/IT IS UNABLE OR
UNWILLING TO ABIDE BY EVEN THE MOST BASIC OF REQUIREMENTS
Ms. Gallegos and/or E. Art Gallery has thwarted and continues to thwart even the most
basic of rules.
In addition she has been untruthful regarding the majority of her Application and her
comments at the City Council Meeting. For instance, in addition to submitting an Application that
appeared to contain authorization of the property owner, when she did not obtain his approval,
submitting an application that appeared to contain an affidavit of the property owner when it did
not, Ms. Gallegos inferred in her application that she registered as a body art practitioner in Orange
County. (Application, [“Savaanah Gallegos and Edgar Aguirre are the owners and employees of
E Art Gallery, whom are certified, licensed professionals and adhere to standards set by OSHA
and particular guidelines and state laws”].) At the City Council meeting a few weeks after I
brought up the fact that she was not registered in Orange County and that “E Art Gallery” was not
licensed in Newport Beach or in Orange County, Ms. Gallegos stated that now she was registered
as a body art practitioner in Orange County. I recently contacted the Orange County Health
Department who confirmed she was not registered as a body art practitioner in Orange County.
The Staff Report indicates that there is an “existing art gallery/studio,” located at the
Proposed Site. No business is licensed by CNB to conduct business at the Proposed Site.
There is no doubt that Ms. Gallegos has been conducting business without a legitimate
business name and without a business license. (Exh. 11.) I brought this to the City’s attention last
month. The Staff Report addresses this issue with nonchalance.
The Staff report minimizes the fact that the Applicant has been operating its business
without a business license. It brushes off the Applicant’s inability to follow the rules with, “The
applicant is required to obtain and maintain a business license with the City and has been made
aware of this requirement.” What’s worse is that, as of today, neither Ms. Gallegos nor E. Art
Gallery have a license to do business in Newport Beach.
At the City Council Meeting, Ms. Gallegos claimed that most of the businesses in Corona
del Mar close at 8:00 or later. Ms. Gallegos statements are incorrect. Virtually every business in
CdM closes by 6:00 p.m. except for some (but not all) restaurants and the grocery, hardware and
drug stores.
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
Because Ms. Gallegos has shown repeatedly that she is unable or unwilling to comply with
the basic requirements of operating any business if she is unwilling to be truthful regarding the
simplest of matters, she is not fit to operate a tattoo parlor.
The bottom line is that neither the Application nor the Staff Report proffers any evidence
to permit the Planning Commission to grant the application for a minor use permit.
Please contact me if you need anything else. Thank you.

General Information
A Conditional or Minor Use Permit is required for uses typically having unusual site development features or operating characteristics requiring special consideration so that they may be designed, located, and operated compatibly with uses on adjoining properties and in the surrounding area. Examples are restaurants, animal
hospitals, carwash and car rental facilities, gas stations, nightclubs, and accessory dwelling units. The use tables in Part 2 of the Zoning Code specify whether a use is allowed, prohibited, or requires approval of a use permit.
Justifications and Findings
Chapter 20.52 of the Zoning Code authorizes the Planning Commission or the Hearing Officer to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove applications for a Conditional Use Permit; and the Zoning Administrator to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove applications for a Minor Use Permit. To approve or conditionally approve a use permit, the hearing body must make the following findings provided by Section 20.52.020 F.
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 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, or 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.
Please note the following:
For Conditional Use Permits in Residential Zoning Districts, the findings pursuant to Section 20.52.030.H.
must also be made. There is a separate information sheet and application for Residential Care Facilities requiring a Conditional Use Permit. Please speak with a member from the planning department or refer to the application online for more information.

Massage parlor closes following arrest
The Secret Garden massage business, where a woman was arrested on
suspicion of prostitution on July 30, has closed.
"They've actually vacated the office," said Matt Cosylion, a Newport Beach
code enforcement supervisor. "They're gone now."
The business at 2721 East Coast Highway, with an entrance on Fernleaf
Avenue, received a notice after an inspection on Aug. 6 revealed an alleged
violation of the city's municipal code.

A notice was attached to the business on Wednesday, stating that it needed a
minor use permit and could be fined $100, $200 or $500 a day unless the
business stopped offering massage services.
A neighbor had complained to police about the business, which she said drew
crowds of men, day and night. Police conducted a sting operation and
arrested a 30-year-old Westminster woman on suspicion of prostitution.
The woman was charged Wednesday with a single misdemeanor count of
prostitution, and her arraignment is scheduled for Sept. 11.
Cosylion said that massage businesses in Newport Beach must obtain minor
use permits, which the Secret Garden business did not have. Business
representatives told city staff that they were not going to try to obtain the
permit from the city's zoning administrator and instead would close.
A company spokesman said in an email that they may reopen in another
location in Newport Beach or in another city.
"I believe people need professional work," said Weihua Zhang, adding that
the company employs 20 masseuses and aestheticians.
"They are nice and work hard," Zhang said. "We can't blame the worker who
caused problem for us, but we will be strict with all the workers."

Introduction
This construction guide is for any person wanting to construct or remodel a body art
facility that performs tattooing, permanent cosmetics, body piercing or branding. Any
other body art facility, such as nonpermanent application of pigment (e.g. henna),
and/or the piercing of an ear with a disposable, single-use, pre-sterilized stud or solid
needle that is applied using a mechanical device to force the needle or stud through
the ear is not covered in this guide.
Plan Check Process Overview
Plan Submittal Before beginning any construction or remodeling work, you
must submit three (3) copies of detailed plans/blueprints and
specifications to the Environmental Health office (see below
for plan specifics). The plans may be prepared by an
architect, draftsperson, contractor, or owner. All plans must
be drawn in a professional manner encompassing all
applicable requirements of this construction guide. In
addition, you must be sure that local cities and jurisdictions
will allow the facility to be constructed at that location.
Plan Check Fee When your plans are submitted, a plan check fee must be
paid. Current fee schedules are available on our website at
http://ochealthinfo.com/eh/bodyart and by request.
Remodels of body art facilities also require plan review and
submittal of the associated fee. A remodel is any
construction or alteration to an existing body art facility.
Remodeling also includes repairs to a body art facility which
alters its configuration or method of operation. Installing a
body art facility in a new structure or in an empty building is
new construction.
If you are starting from a former body art facility that does not
meet current Safe Body Art Act Standards, a plan check for
the facility will be required prior to operation. If you have any
questions, please contact this Agency at (714) 433-6000 and
ask to be connected to the body art district inspector for your
area.
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
Initial Plan Review Plans that are submitted will be reviewed and approved as
submitted, approved with corrections, or denied. In order
for plans to be approved, they must include all the
information regarding structural requirements that are
listed in this guide, and the plans themselves must be drawn
to scale (e.g., ¼″ = 1′), using non-erasable ink or print (no
pencil). Your plans must include:
o Floor plan with plumbing and fixtures.
o Finish schedule for walls, ceilings, floors, and
base coves that indicates the type of material and
surface finish. Samples of proposed finish materials
may be required.
o Remodel plans must identify all proposed changes
to existing structures, spaces, and equipment.
o A site plan showing all areas including the
proposed procedure area, and decontamination and
sterilization area.
o A list of any equipment to be used at the facility such
as single use wall mounted touchless paper towel
dispensers, soap dispensers, wall mounted sharps
containers, and steam sterilizer (autoclave).
Approval or Denial If the plans you submitted do not contain all the information
in order to meet the Safe Body Art Act requirements,
additional information will be needed and the plans
may have to be revised before approval is granted. If
your plans do meet all the requirements, your plans will be
marked with approval stamps and you will be given back
two sets of the originals that you submitted. Your plans
may need to be reviewed by your city building department
for further approvals. One of these copies must be kept at
the job site until the end of the construction/remodel
project. It is only after you receive the approval of your
plans by both the county and city (if required) that you can
begin construction/work at your facility.
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3c Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
Modification of Plans If any changes are proposed to the plans after
approval, they must be reviewed and re-approved by this
Agency prior to being implemented.
Preliminary Inspection When construction is approximately 75% to 80%
completed, you must call your inspector (the person
indicated on your approved plans) for a preliminary
construction inspection. Requests should be made at
least two (2) working days prior to the date of inspection
requested. The preliminary inspection is usually
scheduled at least two weeks prior to the proposed
opening of the body art facility. Note that approved
materials and approved workmanship are significant
factors in the evaluation and field approval of body art
facility construction and equipment installation.
Final Inspection Upon completion of 100% of the construction, including
all finishing work, you must call your inspector to arrange
for a final construction inspection. Contact your inspector
at least two (2) working days in advance for an
appointment for the final inspection.
Issuance of Permit When your facility has passed the final construction
inspection and the facility is in compliance with all Safe
Body Art Act requirements, you will be issued a Health
Permit and you are then able to open for business or
begin using the newly remodeled areas of your business.

Subject: Objection to Minor Use Permit Application of E Art Gallery/Savaanah Gallegos Re: 2721 East
Coast Highway, Corona del Mar, CA
Dear Chairman Zak and Members of the Newport Beach Planning Commission:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Minor Use Permit Application of E Art
Gallery/Savaanah Gallegos Re: 2721 East Coast Highway, Corona del Mar, CA. I apologize for the late
comments, but it took me a long time to prepare my comments. As you know, although I have no
opinion as to the appropriateness of a tattoo parlor in CdM, I strongly object to the proposed location,
as it does not meet the required standards for the health, safety and welfare of tattoo customers, other
tenants in the building, or their guests and customers. Please review my attached comments and also
please review the letter that I sent to the City Counsel opposing Ms. Gallegos’s appeal of your earlier
denial of her application.
Your December 2018 decision to deny the permit application was correct. I appreciate the time and
effort you have put into this matter and I look forward to your upholding your original correct decision.
Thank you,
Melinda

Re: Opposition To E Art Gallery Minor Use Permit
Dear Chairman Zak and Members of the Newport Beach Planning Commission:
This letter is to voice my objection to the request (“Application”) of an applicant
identifying itself as “E Art Gallery/Savaanah Gallegos,” (“Applicant”) to obtain a minor use permit
to operate a tattoo parlor, AND an art gallery, AND an art studio for art classes in a 417 foot space
located at 2721 East Coast Highway, Corona del Mar, California (“Proposed Site”).
I have formed no opinion regarding whether a tattoo parlor should be established in Corona
del Mar. But a tattoo parlor cannot be established at the Proposed Site and it should not be
established by the Applicant.
A Minor Use Permit, despite its seemingly innocuous name, requires adherence to the
procedural and substantive mandates of the Municipal Code. Applications for minor use permits
must not be granted as a matter of course. The Application is so deficient that it would not have
been accepted for an over-the-counter permit. The Application should not have been accepted for
filing much less recommended for approval. It should not be approved as a minor use permit.
Staff’s acceptance of the Application and recommendation that it be approved ignores
virtually every requirement for issuing a minor use permit.
This letter addresses matters regarding the Proposed Site, the inadequate contents of the
Application, the Staff Report and the procedural issues of the City’s processing of the Application.
I have not repeated the issues contained in my February 2019 letter to the City Council, and I
request that the issues raised in that letter (attached to Staff’s Planning Commission packet) be
considered as well.
I understand that this letter is written only one day before the Planning Commission
meeting, and one or more of you may consider this to be tardy. I also know that the letter is

repetitive and not well organized. Please note that I am a member of the public providing my
comments and concerns in my free time. The concerns stated herein should have been addressed
by Staff, who have had since July 2018 to address the issues with the Applicant. The Application
is so flawed, it should not have been accepted for filing. Had the Applicant been required to
provide all necessary information, Staff would have readily concluded that the Proposed Site
cannot be used as a Tattoo Studio. The inadequacy of the Proposed Site would also be readily
discernable by a site visit. For reasons unknown, Staff has chosen to ignore or minimize the issues,
has impermissibly overridden the Code in accepting the Application, and recommends the
Planning Commission Approve a Minor Use Permit that would violate the Municipal Code, State
Law and Federal Law.
THE APPLICATION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED
The Application is wholly inadequate, incorrect, and incomplete. It fails to contain even
the fundamentals of an application for a minor use permit.
“The Director shall review each application for completeness and accuracy before it is
accepted as being complete.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.50.060.) “The determination of
completeness shall be based on the City’s applicable list of required application contents and any
additional written instructions provided to the applicant in any preapplication conference, and/or
during the initial application review period.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.50.060.)
Because the Application was not included in any of the staff reports, in any material
presented at the Planning Commission’s December 2018 meeting, or in any material presented at
the City Council’s February 2019 meeting, I have attached it to this letter. (Exh. 1.)
The Application Should Not Have Been Accepted For Filing Because The Applicant Has No
Authorization To Apply For A Minor Use Permit.
“An application may only be filed by the owner of the subject property or authorized
agent of the owner with the written consent of the property owner. The application shall be
signed by the owner of record or by an authorized agent, if written authorization from the owner
of record is filed concurrently with the application.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.50.040.)

Jeff Brown is the owner of the building. The Application, submitted by “E Art
Gallery/Savaanah Gallegos,” is signed by Savaanah Gallegos and an unidentified “lessee,” but the
file does not contain a writing from the property owner authorizing “E Art Gallery,” “Savaanah
Gallegos,” or anyone else to act as the owner’s agent.
When the Application first came to my attention, I asked Mr. Brown if he were the
applicant. He sated that he was not. Chelsea Crager at the City Planning Department confirmed
that “E Art Gallery” was the applicant and that it was signed by “Savannah Gallegos.”1 I asked
Mr Brown if he had executed any writing authorizing Savanah Gallegos or anyone to act as his
agent. Mr. Brown stated that he had not. Mr. Brown stated that per Ms. Gallegos’s request, he
wrote a letter attesting to his ownership of the building, and nothing more.
This week I went to the City Planning Department and requested to look at the file. The
Application contains only one letter, as described by Mr. Brown, which is copied below. (Exh. 1.)
The Application affidavit is filled out in what appears to be the same handwriting as the
rest of the application (presumably that of Ms. Gallegos), as follows:
1 Ms. Craiger misspelled Ms. Gallegos’s first name, which is apparently spelled “Savaanah”

Although the affidavit indicates that it is made by “Jeffrey Brown,” it is followed by two
signatures, neither of which appears to be the signature of Jeffrey Brown, both of which indicate
that they are the signatures of the “lessee,” and not the property owner.
To summarize:
• An affidavit must be signed by the person named as the affiant in order to be effective;
• The purported affiant (Jeffrey Brown) did not sign the affidavit;
• Even if the affiant had been identified as “Savaanah Gallegos” or the other “lessee” (whose name is presently unknown), the signatures would not be effective because the owner did not designate anyone as his authorized agent, as required.
This Application should not have been accepted for filing.
The Application Should Not Have Been Accepted For Filing Because It Does Not Contain The
Required Information
The Application submitted to the City consists only of the filled-out form and a one
paragraph statement by Savaanah Gallegos. The one-paragraph statement is essentially, “I want
it, so give it to me.” It is wholly devoid of any of the required information and should not have
been accepted for filing, much less recommended for approval.
“Each permit application required by this Zoning Code shall be filed with the Department
on the appropriate City application form, together with ... all other information and materials
specified by the Director for the specific type of application.” (CNB Muni. Code, §§ 20.50.040,
20.52.020.)
“[T]he words ‘shall,’ ‘must,’ ‘will,’ ‘is to,’ and ‘are to’ are always mandatory.” (CNB
Muni. Code, § 20.12.020.)
A “minor use permit provides a process for reviewing uses and associated operational
characteristics that may be appropriate in the applicable zoning district, but whose effects on a site
and surroundings cannot be determined before being proposed for a specific site.” (CNB Muni.

Code, § 20.52.020.) It is impossible for Staff or the Planning Commission to conform to the
process for minor use permits where, as here, Staff has not received necessary information
regarding the specific site and proposed use.
Incorrect, and missing maps and information.
An application for a minor use permit must include a written statement describing the
proposed project in detail. (Exh. 2 [CNB Conditional & Minor Use Permit Information].)
The Permit application should include: Lot Area; Building/Lot Coverage (%); Number of
Seats; Lot Width; Building Height; Dwelling Units; Lot Depth; Landscaping (%); Hours of
Operation; Setbacks; Paving (%); Use; Gross Floor Area (sq. ft.); Parking; Floor Area Ratio; and
the Number of Employees. (Exh. 2 [CNB Conditional & Minor Use Permit Information].)
“Use Permits requiring Planning Commission approval shall be submitted with eight (8)
standard sets and one (1) reduced set of plans. Twelve (12) additional sets (size to be determined)
of final drawings (after staff review) will be required prior to the Planning Commission Meeting.”
(Exh. 2 [CNB Conditional & Minor Use Permit Information].)
All plans shall adhere to the following
• Drawn to scale no less than 1/8’ = 1’
• Standard size plans are to measure 24”x36” (with details itemized on 8 ½”x 11” sheets, if necessary) and folded no larger than 8 ½”x14” when submitted
• Reduced size plans are to be measured between 8 ½”x11” to 11”x17” (with details
itemized on 8 ½”x 11” sheets, if necessary) and folded no larger than 8 ½“x 11”
when submitted
(Exh. 2 [CNB Conditional & Minor Use Permit Information].)
Plot plans or site plans shall be fully dimensioned and show the following information on
the subject property. The plot plan shall show these items abutting the property a minimum of 20
feet from the boundaries of the site:
• Vicinity map, north arrow, and scale of the plan
• Existing and proposed property lines
• Required and proposed front, side, and rear-yard setback lines – measured and dimensioned from property lines
• Location, name, dimension, and description of all existing and proposed right-of-
way lines, dedications, and easements

• Locations of existing and proposed structures, additions, utilities, driveways, walkways, and open volume areas
• Any structure(s) to be relocated, removed, or demolished
• Location, height, and material of existing and proposed walls and fences
• Location of all trash enclosures and how they will be accessed
• Location, dimension, description, and number of parking spaces/areas
• Location, height, size, and materials of existing and proposed signs
• Existing and proposed grade elevations and any significant natural features
• An information block containing the name and telephone number of the contact
person and calculations in tabular form showing compliance with applicable property development regulations (i.e., density, floor area limits, height, parking, etc.)
The Application contains no drawings, no description of the space or the building layout.
The application contains none of the above required information. From the time the Application
was filed to the date of the February 2019 City Council Meeting, six versions of the same drawing
were submitted to the City by or on behalf of Applicant. (Exh. 3.) None of these drawings contain
the required information, every drawing is inaccurate, and the proposed layouts contain misleading
scales. I sent a corrected floorplan of the Proposed Site and the bathrooms along with photographs
showing tape measurers that indicated the dimensions.
Applicant did not submit any elevation drawings, vicinity maps, plot plans, accurate site
plans or any drawings containing the above required information.
The Staff Report contains two new drawings (which do not contain the requisite
information). These two drawings contain misleading and inaccurate dimensions. The stated
measurements are not accurate measurement of the interior space. In addition, the measurements
do not depict reality. (Exh. 4 [additional photographs with tape measurer].) For instance, the
walkway to the bathrooms is not 36”. It is 32” at the bottom baseboards and 33” at the walls.
Similarly, the room dimensions are also wrong. (Exh. 4.) In addition the Staff Report indicates
that Applicant now claims that the Proposed Site is nearly forty percent (40%) smaller than the
Applicant’s original statement of size (new drawings state site is 513 sq. ft.; previous claim was
693 sq. ft.) Again, Staff has taken Applicant’s word for the square footage, despite the fact that
calculations using the dimensions stated on Applicant’s own drawings do not support Applicant’s
purported site square footage. (Do the math, A rectangle = b • h.)

Newport Beach City Council Letter Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo March 20, 2019 Page 7
It is concerning that Staff would accept as true, drawings containing dimensions and
square footages that contradicted my photographs, and that contradict Applicant’s own drawings,
especially because the Staff Report indicates that Staff actually visited the site. A quick flick of a
measuring tape would have determined that the latest drawings, like all of the previous drawings,
are incorrect.
None of the drawings shows an accurate room layout. I have used the latest Staff Report
drawing to create a viable layout. (Exh. 5.) Even using the overstated dimensions, the maximum
occupancy of the “creative pace,” is two persons and a model. How is it possible that Applicant
will hold “art classes” with a live model for seven people, wholly within the “creative space,” as
Applicant has proposed?
In addition to the complete lack of accurate site drawings or site information, the project
description is equally devoid of any pertinent or required information.
The Application must include a detailed description of the project that must also include
“any relevant information which supports the application and the required findings pursuant to
Section 20.52.020 F [requirements for minor use permits].” (CNB Conditional & Minor Use
Permit Information; CNB Muni. Code, § 20.52.020 [“It is the responsibility of the applicant to
provide evidence in support of the findings required by subsection (F) of this section”].)
In addition to providing a detailed description of the project, the Applicant was required
to, but did not provide the following:
1. Evidence indicating that the use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plan;
2. Evidence indicating that 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. Evidence indicating that the design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the
use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity;
4. Evidence indicating that 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. Evidence indicating that the 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.
The Application’s description is one paragraph long, which is copied below in its entirety:
E Art Gallery is an art studio, which includes painting and
figurative drawing classes, painting canvas, commissioned
artwork, and Body Art. Savaanah Gallegos and Edgar Aguirre are the owners and employees of E Art Gallery, whom are certified, licensed professionals and adhere to standards set by OSHA and particular guidelines and state
laws. Hours open to the public will be set from 1000-2000,
Monday to Sunday, and mostly operated by appointment. Thank you for your time and consideration.
This three-sentence paragraph is as if an afterthought. It is not a detailed description of
anything. It does not even mention the location! It provides none of the required detail or evidence
to support granting the application.
No over-the-counter permit would be issued on this information. A minor use permit
certainly should not be issued based on this completely devoid application.
The Application Should Not Have Been Accepted Because It Was Not Filed Concurrently With All
Other Required Applications
“Any applicant for a project requiring more than one permit application (e.g., conditional
use permit, site development review, tentative map, etc.) shall file all related applications
concurrently, with all appropriate application fees required by Section 20.50.050 (Application
Fees).” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.50.030.) Applicant did not file all her applications at once.
“Multiple applications for the same project shall be processed concurrently,...” (CNB Muni. Code,
§ 20.50.030.) The Application was not filed concurrently with all other required applications. It
should not have been filed and must not be approved.
Staff’s claims that Applicant need not have the Planning Commission approve all of the
permit applications and approvals for each of her proposed uses is wrong. In addition to the
requirement that multiple applications be filed and processed simultaneously, “Multiple
applications for the same project ... shall be reviewed and approved, modified, or denied by the

highest review authority designated by this Zoning Code for any of the applications.” (CNB
Muni. Code, § 20.50.030.)
The minor use permit application processes and procedures “are carried out after those
described in Chapter 20.50 (Permit Application Filing and Processing) for each application.”
(CNB Muni. Code, § 20.52.010.)
These procedural mandates may not be waived by staff or anyone. (CNB Muni. Code, §§
20.12.020, 20.52.090.)
The Applicant did not first comply with the applications required by Chapter 20.50, and
thus, the Application must not be approved.
In addition, the Proposed Project is a new use at the Proposed Site. As such, it requires a
Zoning Clearance and also a building permit, if modification are to be made. (CNB Muni. Code,
§ 20.52.100.)
In addition, if the proposed art classes involve “live models exposing specified anatomical
parts,” or if the proposed studio is one where there is furnished, provided or procured a figure
model or models who pose in any manner which is characterized by its emphasis on matter
depicting, describing or relating to specified sexual activities or specified anatomical parts,” then
additional permitting is required and additional restrictions apply, some of which are incompatible
with tattoo parlors. (CNB Muni. Code, Chap. 5.96.)
Although the requirements above are mandatory, in an apparent attempt to ignore these
requirements, the Staff Report states that with respect to the proposed “studio,” “an approval of
use permit is not required.” The Report is wrong.
“Permitted Uses [are] [p]ermitted subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of
this Zoning Code, issuance of a zoning clearance (Section 20.52.100), and any building permit or
other permit required by the Municipal Code. These are shown as “P” uses in the tables. (CNB
Muni. Code, § 20.16.030.)
Even if no construction is performed, at the least, the Applicant was required to apply for
this Zoning Clearance simultaneously with its application for minor use permit. Applicant did not.
In addition, although the Staff Report incorrectly states the scope of required construction,
the Staff Report acknowledges that construction will be necessary for the site to be permissible for

use s a tattoo parlor. As such, the Applicant was required to apply for a building permit
simultaneously with its application for minor use permit.
With respect to the live models, Staff states that “there is no indication that models will
meet the definition of an adult model studio’’ as described by the Municipal Code.” Staff does not
fulfill its job by merely sitting that there is “no indication.” Staff must inquire as to the type of live
modelling planned. This is especially true here, because every social media site of Ms. Gallegos
(who goes by the street name of “”Elekkstasy”) contains artwork, virtually all of which depict
nudes, none of which are compatible with Applicant’s proposal to teach art to children as young
as ten years old, without their parent’s presence. (Exh. 6.)
Regardless, Applicant must obtain either a building permit or a Zoning Clearance. The
application for one or the other must have been filed with the Application. (CNB Muni. Code, §
20.52.100.) None was filed.
THE PROPOSED LOCATION IS IN A BUILDING THAT DOES NOT AND CANNOT EVER
COMPLY WITH THE CODE REQUIREMENTS
Corona del Mar is on the verge of blight. Many buildings are run-down and do not comply
with the building codes. Many spaces in buildings have been vacant for years. The building
located at 2721 is no exception. It is a troubled building with a troubled past. The permit history
indicates that no building permits have been pulled for decades despite obvious construction to the
front and central courtyard. (See Staff presentation photographs from December 2018 and
February 2019 indicating complete replacement of awnings, structural supports, and electrical
lighting) None of the toilet facilities or pathways meet ADA requirements. The lower level drop-
ceilings are too low. Advertising signs are plastered on nearly every vertical surface (See Exh. 7
from Staff presentation photographs). Multiple doors are nailed shut. Unpermitted shoddy work
is visible from the street and within the common areas, At least one of the suites doubles as a
residence. Only a few years ago, there was a major arrest of a prostitution ring at Suite 110. (Exh.
8.)
All of the windows at two businesses in this building are completely obscured. One of
them is “E. Art Gallery.” As described below, the other business’s windows are obscured with
huge decals (like bus wraps) containing a larger-than-life photograph of a scantily-clothed woman

inviting the reader to walk in and experience their “Korean hand technique!” This is not
permissible, but to date, nothing has been done to rectify it.
The Purpose of the “Zoning Code [is] to promote the orderly development of the City;
promote and protect the public health, safety, peace, comfort, and general welfare; protect the
character, social, and economic vitality of neighborhoods; and to ensure the beneficial
development of the City.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.10.020.) Accepting and recommending
approval of an incomplete and inaccurate application for a minor use permit at an impermissible
site does not promote or adhere to the purpose or the mandates of the Zoning Code.
The Zoning Code recognizes that restricted uses such as tattoo parlors and day spas have a
tendency to have a blighting and/or deteriorating effect upon surrounding areas. (CNB Muni Code,
§ 20.70.020.) As such, the Zoning Code requires these restricted uses to be dispersed and requires
them to obtain a minor use permit. Contrary to the Staff Report, there are presently three restricted
use businesses operating in this building alone, none of which have applied for or obtained minor
use permits. According to the December 2018 Staff Report, there are already an additional
eight restricted use personal services businesses within two blocks of the Proposed site, and
again, none of these are operating under a minor use permit, as required.
Eleven restricted use personal services within two blocks is too many. The City needs to
focus on requiring the owners to fix the buildings and needs to focus on enforcing its Codes. 2721
E. Coast Highway, with its obscured windows, rampant unlawful advertising, doors that are nailed
shut, and non-complaint spaces and bathrooms needs to come into compliance and needs to stop
housing any more restricted personal use businesses. Permitting one more restricted use personal
services business at 2721 East Coast Highway, a run-down non-complaint building will contribute
to the blighting of CdM.
THE STAFF REPORT
“Whenever this Zoning Code requires a set of findings to be made before granting approval
of an application by the applicable review authority, it shall be the responsibility of the Department
to present all relevant facts to support the findings.” (CNB Muni Code, § 20.50.070.)
The Staff Report reminds the Planning Commission that it must make findings to support
its decisions, but fails in its duties to provide the Planning Commission with those necessary facts.

Instead, the Staff Report is devoted almost entirely to “rebutting” the comments in my February
letter. This is not only improper, it is unhelpful and inadequate.
Unless the Planning Commission is provided facts to support each element required for
issuing a minor use permit, the Application must be denied. (CNB Muni Code, § 20.52.090
[“review authority may approve or conditionally approve a variance only after first making all of
the [identified] findings”].) Because there are no facts to support any of the six identified required
findings, the Application must be denied.
The Staff Report Does Contains Conclusions Without The Required Information
Because the Staff Report states that the Application should be approved, it was required to
but did not contain facts to support the finding. (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.50.070.)
No facts to support a finding that the use is consistent with the General Plan and any
applicable specific plan. The Staff Report does not mention the General Plan at all.
No facts to support and/or incorrect facts regarding a finding that the use is allowed within
the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code.
The Staff Report concludes without any facts that the Proposed Site contains an “existing
art gallery/studio,” that purportedly “is a permitted use and approval of use permit is not required.”
This conflicts with the CNB license database that indicates no business is licensed to operate at
this location and conflicts with the Zoning Code Requirements. (See comments above.)
No Facts To Support And/Or Incorrect Facts Regarding A Finding That The Use Is A Legal
Nonconforming Use.
The only mention of the Zoning Code compliance in the Staff Report regards parking. The
Staff Report mentions no other aspect of compliance with the Zoning Code.
With Respect to the Zoning Code parking requirements, the Staff Report claims that
because Staff could not find any of the original plans for the building, building’s lack of parking
must be a legal nonconforming use. This is wrong. The default law is that parking must meet the
minimum requirements. In certain circumstances where “legally established uses and structures
become nonconforming due to reclassification, ordinance changes, or annexations,” persons may
apply for continued or changed uses so long as certain criteria are met. “When a use or structure
does not conform with the applicable use regulations or property development standards for the
zoning district in which it is located, it shall be the responsibility of the owner to provide

evidence that the use or structure was lawfully established, erected, and maintained and is
nonconforming by reason of adoption or amendment of this Zoning Code or by reason of
annexation of territory to the City.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.38.030.)
The prospective building has no off-street parking. If a person wishes to take advantage of
the legal nonconforming use parking provisions, the burden is on the person to prove the present
use is within the definition of legal nonconforming uses. If the person cannot so prove, then the
use is not legal nonconforming and any Application that requires compliance with the Zoning Code
must be denied. Because the Applicant did not prove that the structure and use were not lawfully
established and erected, then the use is illegal. Moreover, the permit history shows that the
building had parking and loading at one time, which was built over without permits. The use is
illegal and no variance to the parking requirements is permitted.
Because the present lack of parking at the Proposed Site is illegal, the following applies
without exception, “Each use, including a change or expansion of a use ... shall have appropriately
maintained off-street parking and loading areas in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
A use shall not be commenced and structures shall not be occupied until improvements required
by this chapter are satisfactorily completed.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.40.020.)
The Staff Report claims that I miscalculated the required number of parking spaces. The
Report claims that
When a business engages in several activities from the same space, the most restrictive parking rate is applied to the entire suite. Each
of the uses the applicant plans to operate requires parking at a rate of one parking space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. suggestion would apply the 1:250 parking requirement to each of the three activities in the space thereby tripling the required parking for the use.
From there, the Staff Report concludes, with no analysis or facts, that: (1) the building’s
lack of parking is legal non-conforming; (2) the three proposed business operations will not
increase the intensity of traffic and parking; and (3) the proposed use meets the nonconforming
use restrictions.

The Staff Report is wrong, wrong and wrong. The Code is clear, “If more than one use is
located on a site, the number of required off-street parking spaces shall be equal to the sum of the
requirements prescribed for each use.” (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.40.030.)
Because Applicant stated that she intends to operate an art studio, and an art school and a
tattoo parlor, the parking requirements for the space is equal to the sum of the parking requirements
for each use. (CNB Muni. Code, § 20.40.030.) Because the building is illegal regarding parking,
and because the building currently has no parking, then if Applicant wishes to have any one or
more uses permitted, she must first construct the proper number of off-street parking spaces for
her intended uses.
The Staff Report improperly treats mandated matter as discretionary. Compliance with
this provision is mandatory and Staff has no discretion to waive its requirements. The Staff
Report’s admission that Staff has “never,” required compliance with this law does not give Staff
permission to ignore it now.
In addition to the comments above, “If conflicts occur between requirements of this Zoning
Code, or between this Zoning Code and other provisions of the Newport Beach Municipal Code,
or other adopted regulations of the City, the more restrictive provision shall prevail.” (CNB Muni.
Code, § 20.12.020.) Staff may not create its own rules as to the mandates of the Municipal Code,
nor may Staff pick and choose with which provisions it must comply and which it may ignore.
No facts to support a finding that the use is allowed within the applicable zoning district or
that the use complies with all other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.
The Staff Report concludes without any facts that the Proposed Site will accommodate an
art studio and a two tattoo stations. The Staff Report is wrong. “Nothing in this Zoning Code
eliminates the need for obtaining other permits required by the City; regulations of a special district
or agency; or regulations of a State or Federal agency.” (CNB Muni. Code, §20.10.040.)
Where the provisions of the “Zoning Code requires compliance with other applicable
provisions, [as with minor use permits, such provisions] shall be in addition to the requirements of
this Zoning Code. Other applicable provisions may include, but are not limited to, ... adopted
criteria/guidelines, City policies, and/or State and Federal regulations.” (CNB Muni. Code,
§20.10.040.)

The Staff Report wholly ignores the requirement that it must provide facts to support a
conclusion that the use complies with the other provisions of the Municipal Code, including, the
Building Code and the Fire Code.
There is no fact to indicate any analysis of the Fire Code requirements, occupancy
restrictions or ADA access. There is no fact to support any finding that the Proposed Site complies
with the Building Code, and it does not. Although I have not analyzed all building code violations,
the Staff should have done so. In my previous letter, I described the Building Code violations
regarding the site ceiling height, the bathroom walkways, door opening, size, materials and
fixtures. The Staff Report does not even mention these violations. Instead, the Staff Report
appears to claim that the Applicant may rely on a non-existent prior use variance. This is incorrect.
While there may be some instances where a variance of a Zoning Code may be granted, any such
variance must be granted upon application.
Moreover, no Building Code variance is permitted. It is Staff’s responsibility to make and
provide findings regarding compliance with the Zoning Code AND the Fire Code AND the
Building Code AND all other provisions of the Municipal Code. Staff did not.
The Staff Report acknowledges that the “new” drawings indicate that the Proposed Site is
nearly forty percent (40%) smaller than the Applicant’s original statement of size but concludes
without facts or analysis that this large discrepancy is not a “substantial change” to the scope of
the project and states that there is no reason to believe that the Applicant purposefully tried to
deceive Staff. Applicant’s purported innocent intentions do not negate the requirements of the
Code or excuse Staff from performing the required analysis.
The Staff Report then states that “Staff does not believe this issue has any significant
bearing on the application or the hearing” and states that the “full and complete analysis of the
proposed use” contained in the old December 2018 Staff Report applies to this much smaller space.
It is not possible that the December 2018 analysis of the code requirements for and
occupancy restrictions of a nearly 700 square foot space would be the same as analysis of a stated
500 square foot space that is actually more like 420 square feet. This reduces the size of the “art
classroom” to that of an area rug. (Exh. 5.)

Newport Beach City Council Letter Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo March 20, 2019 Page 16
No Facts Or Law Supports Staff’s Claim That Building Code Requirements May Be
Ignored
The Staff Report claims that the Municipal Code definition of “Nonconforming structure”
contained in section 20.70.020 permits Staff to relax or remove Building Code requirements. The
Staff Report is wrong.
“Nonconforming structure” means a structure that was lawfully
erected, but that does not conform to the property development
regulations for the zoning district in which the structure is located
by reason of adoption or amendment of this Zoning Code or by
reason of annexation of territory to the City.
By its plain language, the definition of “Nonconforming Structure” regards compliance
with the Zoning Code, not the Building Code.
Under Chapter 20.16, “DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE APPROVAL
REQUIREMENTS,” “Uses and/or structures shall comply with all applicable development
standards of this part, the provisions of Part 3 (Site Planning and General Development Standards)
and Part 4 of this title (Standards for Specific Land Uses), and other adopted criteria, guidelines,
and policies adopted by the City related to the use and development of land.” (CNB Muni. Code,
§ 20.16.020.) “Nonconforming Uses and Structures. Uses and structures that are determined to be
nonconforming as to the requirements of this Zoning Code shall be subject to the requirements and
limitations of Chapter 20.38 (Nonconforming Uses and Structures).” (CNB Muni. Code, §
20.16.020.)
Staff has proffered no provision in the Building Code that permits Staff, the Planning
Commission or the City Council to waive non-compliance of the Provision of the Building Code
based on legal non-conforming status. Staff may not rely on a Zoning Code provision to create a
non-existent rule permitting non-compliance with the Building Code.
The Staff Report also states that the application should not be denied on this basis because
City Staff has issued lots of permits in violation of the Building Code requirement. Again, the
applicable Municipal Code sections are mandatory. City Staff’s past violations of its the Municipal
Code mandates does not permit or justify further violations.

Where, as here, the building does not comply with the Building Code requirements (some
of which are discussed in my February letter), a minor use permit may not issue.
No facts to support a finding that the design, location, size, and operating characteristics of
the use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity
The only mention of this criteria is the statement in the staff Report that “Staff therefore
expects the proposed tattoo studio and art gallery to operate in an effective and non-detrimental
manner that would be compatible with the surrounding commercial tenants and commercial uses
in the area.” The Staff’s attempt to replace its responsibility to proffer evidence that the proposed
space is complaint with some nebulous comment that the business owner should play nice with
the neighbors is nonsensical and provides no facts to show that the design, location, size, and
operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity.
Worse, the Staff Report states, “The Planning Commission should include specific
factual information to support the action in any newly adopted resolution.” Staff’s attempt
to pass the buck to the Planning Commission is not only improper, it is not sufficient to prove this
element has been met.
No facts to support a finding that 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.
The Staff Report does not mention this requirement at all.
No facts to support a finding that 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.
The Staff Report does not mention this requirement at all.
Staff’s Passing Discussion Of The Purpose Of The Minor Use Permit Contains Facts That
Conflict With Prior Staff Reports And Staff Conclusions Contradict Facts
The Staff Report recites the Code Language that acknowledges that “personal use services
that may tend to have a blighting and/or deteriorating effect upon surrounding areas and that may

need to be dispersed from other similar uses to minimize adverse impacts, includ[e],” day spas,
Healing arts (acupuncture, aromatherapy, etc.) with no services qualifying under “massage
establishments,” Tanning Salons and Tattoo Services and body piercing studios.
In its December 2018 Staff Report, Staff acknowledged that La Vita Salon/Spa (located in
Suite 110) is indeed a “personal service, restricted,” establishment that was required to, but did
not, hold a minor use permit. The December 2018 Staff Report was distributed before a new
business went into suite 204 of the Proposed Building. This new business has no specific name,
but it does have all of its windows (unlawfully) obscured with decals of a woman scantily clothed
in a flowing pink tube-top type massage gown. (Exh. 9.) The text above and below the larger-
than-life woman appearing on the two huge (unpermitted and unlawful) decals that cover the entire
7 foot by 7 foot and 9 foot x 7 foot floor-to-ceiling windows exclaims, “Rejuvenate, Lift & Detox
your skin with our Korean Hand Technique!”
Despite this, the latest Staff Report now claims that La Vita Salon and Spa - - isn’t a spa.
It also claims that the unnamed business with obscured windows and a nailed-shut door offering
to “Rejuvenate, Lift & Detox your skin with our Korean Hand Technique!”(See Exh. 9) is also
not a day spa. If that’s not a day spa, it’s time to call the cops again.
The Staff Report’s Claim That Site Is And Will Comply With The Safe Body Art Act Is
Wrong
The Staff Report claims that “Staff has reviewed the California Safe Body Art Act and
spoken with a representative of the Orange County Health Department. Based on this research and
discussion, staff believes that the tenant space will be able to comply with regulations with only
minor modifications (paint/floors).” Staff’s “belief,” which is stated without any factual evidence,
is of no assistance, especially in light of the fact that its belief contradicts facts.
As detailed in my February letter, the California Safe Body Art Act mandates that all
facilities comply with the Building Code. In addition, the local enforcement agency (Here County
of Orange Health Care Agency Public Health Services [“OCHCA”]) may implement standards
that are more restrictive than the Safe Body Art Act. (Cal Health & Saf Code § 119324.) Here,
OCHCA has implemented such regulations which mandate that all body art facilities’ “Floors,
walls, and ceilings in procedure areas, restrooms and decontamination and sterilization areas shall
be smooth, free of open holes, and washable.” (Exh. 10 [OCHCA, Environmental Health,
Planning Commission - March 21, 2019
Item No. 3d Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
Newport Beach City Council Letter Re: E Art Gallery Tattoo March 20, 2019 Page 19
Construction Guidelines for Body Art Facilities, GENERAL CONSTRUCTION
REQUIREMENTS], p.5.) The Local Agency also mandates that all new establishments must meet
the new construction Building Codes. (Exh. 10 [OCHCA, Environmental Health, Construction
Guidelines for Body Art Facilities], p.2.)
Regardless of what Staff says someone told them during one conversation, the
requirements of the Safe Body Art Act and OCHCA mandate that, among other things, that the
ceilings must be raised by at least 8 inches, and the walls and ceilings must be replaced with
material that is non-absorbent, smooth and washable.
The Body Art Facility is the “section of a building ... in which a practitioner performs or
demonstrates for the purpose of instruction, body art, including reception areas, the procedure area,
and the decontamination and sterilization area.” The body art facility must have its own “adequate
toilet facilities, in accordance with the specifications of the State Building Standards Code, local
building standard codes, and any other local ordinance.” (Cal Health & Saf. Code, § 119301.)
The Proposed Site does not have its own toilet facility. Nor are the public facilities in accordance
with the Building Code.
A body art facility and must have “a water heater which is capable of constantly supplying
hot water at a temperature of at least 120°F to all sinks and other cleanup facilities.” (Exh. 10
[OCHCA, Environmental Health, Construction Guidelines for Body Art Facilities], p.5.) The
Proposed Site does not.
It is disingenuous for the Staff Report to state that Staff “believes” that the Proposed site
will comply with the requirements of a Body Art Facility with only a coat of paint and a new floor
when it has no rational basis for this belief.
The Staff Report Dismisses Important Concerns And Grants Variances Without An Application
For Variance And Without Making Any of The Findings Necessary for Granting A Variance.
Variances to the Zoning Code requirements may only be approved on an application duly
filed in conformance with Muni. Code chapter 20.50. (Muni. Code, § 20.52.090.) No variance
may be granted unless certain specific findings are made. (Muni. Code, § 20.52.090.)
Applicant filed no application for any Zoning Code variance. Nor does the Staff Report
make any of the required findings for any Zoning Code variance. (Muni. Code, § 20.52.090 [e.g.

unique circumstances, necessity of variance, will not be inconsistent with limitations on nearby
properties, etc.].)
The Staff Report Does Not Address The Deficiencies In The Application
The Staff report states that “a full and complete analysis of the proposed use is provided in
the attached December 6, 2018 Planning Commission staff report.” It is not.
From there the Staff Report states several times that Staff “believe[s] that sufficient facts
exist in support of each finding required by NBMC Section 20.52.020.F.” Staff’s belief is of no
consequence.
Staff has confused the requirement of proffering evidence sufficient to make findings with
the requirement that findings must be made. In so doing, Staff’s attempts to pass the responsibility
of proffering evidence sufficient to make findings onto the Commission when the responsibility
of proffering the evidence lies with the Applicant and the analysis and presentation of the evidence
lies with City Staff. Because no evidence is sufficient to grant the permit, the Commission is
capable of making only one finding: that there is insufficient evidence to grant the application.
The Staff’s Proposed Restrictions Aren’t
Staff’s proposed “Restrictions” amount to little more than demands that the Applicant
abide by the law. These are hardly “restrictions,” and are merely reminders of rules by which all
persons must abide.
Including In The Staff Report, “Rebuttals” To Comments Of A Member Of The Public Is
Inappropriate.
Throughout the latest Staff Report, I, a member of the public am repeatedly identified by
name. This is not proper. When a member of the public raises concerns regarding an application,
Staff should evaluate those concerns and address them in the Staff Report, as appropriate. Singling
out a member of the public by name serves no legitimate purpose and will likely have the improper
consequence of intimidating other members of the public, who will refrain from providing
substantive comments under fear of reprisal. This is especially true in this instance, as no other
person who provided comments was identified by name in the Staff Report.
In addition, applications for minor use permits are not contests among private
parties or adversarial proceedings of a member of the public versus the applicant and City. City

Staff should evaluate the permit application in light of the requirement. Staff should not be
advocates. The Statements in the Staff Report indicate that Staff lost sight of its duties and
function. Staff must consider the comments of the public but it should not be “rebutting” them in
a Staff Report. Staff should be neutral in evaluating an application and should not treat members
of the public with disdain or contempt. The Staff Report indicates that Staff was not neutral. Not
only does the Staff Report unnecessarily identify me by name nine times, it uses improperly, the
term “alleges,” when discussing the issues that I raised in my February letter and dismisses the
requirements of the Municipal Code as “Ms. Luthin’s suggestion.”
The Staff Report Indicates That Staff Failed In Its Duties To The Commission And To The Public.
The City owes a duty to all of its residents and the public at large to regulate businesses
and enforce its laws, regardless of whether a member of the public has so requested. In fulfilling
this duty, staff must evaluate an application to determine its completeness and accuracy (CNB
Muni Code, § 20.50.060), and to determine whether the application complies with and is consistent
with the provisions of the Zoning Code, the General Plan, and other applicable provisions
identified in Municipal Code Section 20.10.040 (CNB Muni Code, § 20.50.060). Staff did not.
The Staff Report indicates that, instead of determining accuracy of the facts in the
Application, Staff merely took the Applicant’s word, despite the Applicant’s past failures to
provide accurate information. For example, The Applicant submitted seven different floorplans
for the Proposed Space, none of which are accurate. The Staff Report indicates that after I
submitted an accurate floorplan and photographs of the Proposed Site, some of which included
measuring tapes indicating the dimensions, Staff visited the site. Despite having visited the site,
the Staff Report indicates that instead of measuring the Proposed Space for itself, Staff relied on
the Applicant to submit a revised floorplan. The Staff Report indicates that Staff accepted the
dimensions in Applicant’s latest floor plan, despite the fact that I had submitted photographs with
measuring tapes indicating the correct dimensions.
In my February letter, I state that the Proposed Space does not comply with the Building
Code. Staff ignored my comments other than to say, that compliance with the Building Code is
not required.

THE APPLICANT HAS SHOWN REPEATEDLY THAT HE/SHE/IT IS UNABLE OR
UNWILLING TO ABIDE BY EVEN THE MOST BASIC OF REQUIREMENTS
Ms. Gallegos and/or E. Art Gallery has thwarted and continues to thwart even the most
basic of rules.
In addition she has been untruthful regarding the majority of her Application and her
comments at the City Council Meeting. For instance, in addition to submitting an Application that
appeared to contain authorization of the property owner, when she did not obtain his approval,
submitting an application that appeared to contain an affidavit of the property owner when it did
not, Ms. Gallegos inferred in her application that she registered as a body art practitioner in Orange
County. (Application, [“Savaanah Gallegos and Edgar Aguirre are the owners and employees of
E Art Gallery, whom are certified, licensed professionals and adhere to standards set by OSHA
and particular guidelines and state laws”].) At the City Council meeting a few weeks after I
brought up the fact that she was not registered in Orange County and that “E Art Gallery” was not
licensed in Newport Beach or in Orange County, Ms. Gallegos stated that now she was registered
as a body art practitioner in Orange County. I recently contacted the Orange County Health
Department who confirmed she was not registered as a body art practitioner in Orange County.
The Staff Report indicates that there is an “existing art gallery/studio,” located at the
Proposed Site. No business is licensed by CNB to conduct business at the Proposed Site.
There is no doubt that Ms. Gallegos has been conducting business without a legitimate
business name and without a business license. (Exh. 11.) I brought this to the City’s attention last
month. The Staff Report addresses this issue with nonchalance.
The Staff report minimizes the fact that the Applicant has been operating its business
without a business license. It brushes off the Applicant’s inability to follow the rules with, “The
applicant is required to obtain and maintain a business license with the City and has been made
aware of this requirement.” What’s worse is that, as of today, neither Ms. Gallegos nor E. Art
Gallery have a license to do business in Newport Beach.
At the City Council Meeting, Ms. Gallegos claimed that most of the businesses in Corona
del Mar close at 8:00 or later. Ms. Gallegos statements are incorrect. Virtually every business in
CdM closes by 6:00 p.m. except for some (but not all) restaurants and the grocery, hardware and
drug stores.

Because Ms. Gallegos has shown repeatedly that she is unable or unwilling to comply with
the basic requirements of operating any business if she is unwilling to be truthful regarding the
simplest of matters, she is not fit to operate a tattoo parlor.
The bottom line is that neither the Application nor the Staff Report proffers any evidence
to permit the Planning Commission to grant the application for a minor use permit.
Please contact me if you need anything else. Thank you.

Community Development Department
Planning Division
100 Civic Center Drive / P.O. Box 1768 / Newport Beach, CA 92658-8915 (949)644-3204 Telephone / (949)644-3229 Facsimile www.newportbeachca.gov
General Information
A Conditional or Minor Use Permit is required for uses typically having unusual site development features or operating characteristics requiring special consideration so that they may be designed, located, and operated compatibly with uses on adjoining properties and in the surrounding area. Examples are restaurants, animal
hospitals, carwash and car rental facilities, gas stations, nightclubs, and accessory dwelling units. The use tables in Part 2 of the Zoning Code specify whether a use is allowed, prohibited, or requires approval of a use permit.
Justifications and Findings
Chapter 20.52 of the Zoning Code authorizes the Planning Commission or the Hearing Officer to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove applications for a Conditional Use Permit; and the Zoning Administrator to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove applications for a Minor Use Permit. To approve or conditionally approve a use permit, the hearing body must make the following findings provided by Section 20.52.020 F.
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 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, or 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.
Please note the following:
For Conditional Use Permits in Residential Zoning Districts, the findings pursuant to Section 20.52.030.H.
must also be made. There is a separate information sheet and application for Residential Care Facilities requiring a Conditional Use Permit. Please speak with a member from the planning department or refer to the application online for more information.

Massage parlor closes following arrest
The Secret Garden massage business, where a woman was arrested on
suspicion of prostitution on July 30, has closed.
"They've actually vacated the office," said Matt Cosylion, a Newport Beach
code enforcement supervisor. "They're gone now."
The business at 2721 East Coast Highway, with an entrance on Fernleaf
Avenue, received a notice after an inspection on Aug. 6 revealed an alleged
violation of the city's municipal code.

A notice was attached to the business on Wednesday, stating that it needed a
minor use permit and could be fined $100, $200 or $500 a day unless the
business stopped offering massage services.
A neighbor had complained to police about the business, which she said drew
crowds of men, day and night. Police conducted a sting operation and
arrested a 30-year-old Westminster woman on suspicion of prostitution.
The woman was charged Wednesday with a single misdemeanor count of
prostitution, and her arraignment is scheduled for Sept. 11.
Cosylion said that massage businesses in Newport Beach must obtain minor
use permits, which the Secret Garden business did not have. Business
representatives told city staff that they were not going to try to obtain the
permit from the city's zoning administrator and instead would close.
A company spokesman said in an email that they may reopen in another
location in Newport Beach or in another city.
"I believe people need professional work," said Weihua Zhang, adding that
the company employs 20 masseuses and aestheticians.
"They are nice and work hard," Zhang said. "We can't blame the worker who
caused problem for us, but we will be strict with all the workers."

Introduction
This construction guide is for any person wanting to construct or remodel a body art
facility that performs tattooing, permanent cosmetics, body piercing or branding. Any
other body art facility, such as nonpermanent application of pigment (e.g. henna),
and/or the piercing of an ear with a disposable, single-use, pre-sterilized stud or solid
needle that is applied using a mechanical device to force the needle or stud through
the ear is not covered in this guide.
Plan Check Process Overview
Plan Submittal Before beginning any construction or remodeling work, you
must submit three (3) copies of detailed plans/blueprints and
specifications to the Environmental Health office (see below
for plan specifics). The plans may be prepared by an
architect, draftsperson, contractor, or owner. All plans must
be drawn in a professional manner encompassing all
applicable requirements of this construction guide. In
addition, you must be sure that local cities and jurisdictions
will allow the facility to be constructed at that location.
Plan Check Fee When your plans are submitted, a plan check fee must be
paid. Current fee schedules are available on our website at
http://ochealthinfo.com/eh/bodyart and by request.
Remodels of body art facilities also require plan review and
submittal of the associated fee. A remodel is any
construction or alteration to an existing body art facility.
Remodeling also includes repairs to a body art facility which
alters its configuration or method of operation. Installing a
body art facility in a new structure or in an empty building is
new construction.
If you are starting from a former body art facility that does not
meet current Safe Body Art Act Standards, a plan check for
the facility will be required prior to operation. If you have any
questions, please contact this Agency at (714) 433-6000 and
ask to be connected to the body art district inspector for your
area.

E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
Initial Plan Review Plans that are submitted will be reviewed and approved as
submitted, approved with corrections, or denied. In order
for plans to be approved, they must include all the
information regarding structural requirements that are
listed in this guide, and the plans themselves must be drawn
to scale (e.g., ¼″ = 1′), using non-erasable ink or print (no
pencil). Your plans must include:
o Floor plan with plumbing and fixtures.
o Finish schedule for walls, ceilings, floors, and
base coves that indicates the type of material and
surface finish. Samples of proposed finish materials
may be required.
o Remodel plans must identify all proposed changes
to existing structures, spaces, and equipment.
o A site plan showing all areas including the
proposed procedure area, and decontamination and
sterilization area.
o A list of any equipment to be used at the facility such
as single use wall mounted touchless paper towel
dispensers, soap dispensers, wall mounted sharps
containers, and steam sterilizer (autoclave).
Approval or Denial If the plans you submitted do not contain all the information
in order to meet the Safe Body Art Act requirements,
additional information will be needed and the plans
may have to be revised before approval is granted. If
your plans do meet all the requirements, your plans will be
marked with approval stamps and you will be given back
two sets of the originals that you submitted. Your plans
may need to be reviewed by your city building department
for further approvals. One of these copies must be kept at
the job site until the end of the construction/remodel
project. It is only after you receive the approval of your
plans by both the county and city (if required) that you can
begin construction/work at your facility.

Item No. 3d Additional Materials Received After the Deadline
E Art Gallery Appeal (PA2018-177)
Modification of Plans If any changes are proposed to the plans after
approval, they must be reviewed and re-approved by this
Agency prior to being implemented.
Preliminary Inspection When construction is approximately 75% to 80%
completed, you must call your inspector (the person
indicated on your approved plans) for a preliminary
construction inspection. Requests should be made at
least two (2) working days prior to the date of inspection
requested. The preliminary inspection is usually
scheduled at least two weeks prior to the proposed
opening of the body art facility. Note that approved
materials and approved workmanship are significant
factors in the evaluation and field approval of body art
facility construction and equipment installation.
Final Inspection Upon completion of 100% of the construction, including
all finishing work, you must call your inspector to arrange
for a final construction inspection. Contact your inspector
at least two (2) working days in advance for an
appointment for the final inspection.
Issuance of Permit When your facility has passed the final construction
inspection and the facility is in compliance with all Safe
Body Art Act requirements, you will be issued a Health
Permit and you are then able to open for business or

Subject: RE: Objection to Minor Use Permit Application of E Art Gallery/Savaanah Gallegos Re: 2721
East Coast Highway, Corona del Mar, CA
Dear Chairman Zak and Members of the Newport Beach Planning Commission:
I am sending you some of the permit history on 2721 E. Coast Highway that indicates that the
parking was removed from this building in violation of the Code at the time. According to these
documents, sometime in 1983-1984, the previous owner had a building permit for tenant
improvements but at the same time, he attempted to convert, without a permit, the garages and
parking to commercial and/or residential space. A stop work order was issued, the building permit
for the tenant improvements was revoked. At some point the conversion was finished, which took
away the parking. No permit ever issued to take away the parking and it was secretly completed
sometime after the stop work order issued. Although it is the Applicant’s responsibility to show that
the parking complied with a previous zoning code, I send you this information to show that the
Applicant cannot show this, because the parking has been illegal since it was built over.
Thank you.

Subject: Objection to Minor Use Permit Application of E Art Gallery/Savaanah Gallegos Re: 2721 East
Coast Highway, Corona del Mar, CA
Dear Chairman Zak and Members of the Newport Beach Planning Commission:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Minor Use Permit Application of E Art
Gallery/Savaanah Gallegos Re: 2721 East Coast Highway, Corona del Mar, CA. I apologize for the late
comments, but it took me a long time to prepare my comments. As you know, although I have no
opinion as to the appropriateness of a tattoo parlor in CdM, I strongly object to the proposed
location, as it does not meet the required standards for the health, safety and welfare of tattoo
customers, other tenants in the building, or their guests and customers. Please review my attached
comments and also please review the letter that I sent to the City Counsel opposing Ms. Gallegos’s
appeal of your earlier denial of her application.
Your December 2018 decision to deny the permit application was correct. I appreciate the time and
effort you have put into this matter and I look forward to your upholding your original correct
decision.
Thank you,
Melinda
