INTRODUCTION
The proposed restaurant is located on the east side of Via Oporto within Lido Marina
Village. Lido Marina Village is a commercial development that includes a mix of retail,
service, office, and restaurant uses. The existing tenant space (Suite 104) is currently
vacant and was previously used as an office and storage area for Electra Boat Rentals.
Project Description
The proposed project includes converting a vacant office into a pizza restaurant with
outdoor patio seating and a Type 47 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License. The
restaurant includes 1,254 square feet of indoor seating and 199 square feet of outdoor
seating with approximately 40 seats. The project includes approximately 347 square feet
of indoor net public area and 199 square feet of outdoor dining area. The project would
comply with the parking allocations in the approved Conditional Use Permit for Lido
Marina Village (LMV). Hours of operation are from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m, daily. No late
hours (i.e. after 11 p.m.), dancing, or live entertainment is proposed.
The proposed operation is further described in the applicant’s project description
(Attachment No. PC 2) and shown in the submitted plans (Attachment No. PC 4). The
proposed hours are consistent with existing restaurants in LMV. There are no late hours
(after 11 p.m.), live entertainment, or dancing proposed as a part of this application.
Background
On December 18, 2014, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No.
UP2014-014 (PA2014-002), authorizing a comprehensive Parking Management Program
for Lido Marina Village. The Parking Management Program applies to approximately
112,029 square feet of commercial floor area under the common ownership of DJM
Capital Partners, including several restaurants.
On January 23, 2018, the City Council approved an amended Conditional Use Permit
(UP2017-019) authorizing changes to the Parking Management Plan including modifying
the off-site parking shuttle, relocation of employee parking, parking pricing adjustments,
valet plan changes, and the addition of valet parking at an additional off-site location (3700
Newport Boulevard) after 7:00 p.m.
The conditional use permits set limits on uses that are considered higher parking demand
uses including restaurants. The comprehensive parking management plan allocates
15,964 square feet for restaurant uses within Lido Marina Village and several restaurant
projects have already been approved within Lido Marina Village, such as Malibu Farm,
Circle Hook, Zinque, etc. Planning staff and the property owner have been tracking the
net public area for existing and proposed restaurants to ensure compliance with the
assumptions of the conditional use permits.

DISCUSSION
Analysis
General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan/Zoning Code
The Land Use Element of the General Plan, Coastal Land Use Plan (CLUP), and Zoning
Code designate the properties within Lido Marina Village as Mixed-Use Water and Mixed-
Use Water 2 (MU-W2 and MU-W per CLUP). Permitted uses include commercial
development on or near the bay in a manner that will encourage the continuation of
coastal-dependent and coastal-related uses, maintain the marine theme and character,
encourage mutually supportive businesses, encourage visitor-serving and recreational
uses, and encourage physical and visual access to the bay on waterfront commercial and
industrial building sites on or near the bay. The project would allow for the conversion of
an existing office and storage space to a restaurant, which would maintain the character of
the district. A restaurant with no late hours is consistent with the land use designation and
zoning district with the approval of a minor use permit.
The project is exempt from coastal development permitting requirements because there is
no increase in floor area or building height authorized under this action. New restaurants
and conversions (as well as the associated parking requirements) were previously
authorized under Conditional Use Permit No. UP2017-019), which included a parking
management plan for Lido Marina Village. The area dedicated to restaurant use under this
project is consistent with conditional use permit No UP2017-019 thus, there would be no
intensification of use.
Parking
As previously discussed, Conditional Use Permit Nos. UP2014-014 and UP2017-019
established square footage limitations on eating and drinking uses within Lido Marina
Village to ensure the adequacy of parking resources. Of the 15,964 square feet maximum
allocated to restaurant uses in LMV, there is currently 15,845 square feet of approved
restaurant uses, leaving only 119 square feet of net public area for future use.
In order to implement the Skal Restaurant, which includes 546 square feet of net public
area, the Applicant is voluntarily forfeiting their existing use permit (UP2019-022) for a
separate restaurant in LMV. In 2019, the subject applicant John Stockwell of Malibu
Farm, received approval to expand his existing Malibu Farm restaurant (3416 and 3420
Via Oporto) into the adjacent retail space at 3424 Via Oporto. Specifically, this minor use
permit (UP2019-022) was approved in December of 2019 and authorized the Malibu Farm
restaurant to expand an additional 598 square feet of net public area into the adjacent
retail space and create a 132-square-foot outdoor dining patio. However, the applicant
has not exercised the use permit to expand his operation, and to date, the related
improvements have not been constructed. Therefore, upon forfeiting his use permit to
expand Malibu Farm, the net public area previously allocated to that expansion area
would become “available” for use by another restaurant tenant. Once forfeited, the Malibu
6

Planning Commission, December 9, 2021
Page 5
Farm expansion use permit would be void and the operator would be required to comply
with the prior use permit that is still in effect for the existing business at 3416 and 3420
Via Oporto (UP2017-026).
Pursuant to the existing conditional use permit for parking, there is maximum of 15,964
square feet allocated for eating and drinking establishments (combined indoor and
outdoor NPA) in LMV. The proposed restaurant in conjunction with all the existing
restaurant uses (less the forfeited Malibu Farm expansion authorized under UP2019-022)
will total 15,654 square feet of net public area (NPA), in compliance with the maximum
allowable restaurant space for LMV.
Outdoor Dining
The proposed outdoor dining patio hours (9 a.m. to 11 p.m., daily) are compatible with
the goals established for Lido Marina Village. Land Use Goal 6.9 (Lido Village) of the
General Plan emphasizes the need for “a pedestrian-oriented village environment that
reflects its waterfront location, providing a mix of uses that serves visitors and local
residents.” The existing outdoor dining patios in LMV have provided an additional amenity
for coastal visitors to enjoy the harbor frontage. The proposed patio is 199 gross square
feet with 15 seats. The 6-foot pedestrian easement along the harbor frontage will remain
unobstructed.
Alcohol Sales Finding
The applicant has requested a new alcohol license (Type 47 ABC license) at 3400 Via
Oporto.
In accordance with Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the Newport Beach Municipal
Code, the Planning Commission must find that:
1. The use is consistent with the purpose and intent of Subsection 20.48.030 (Alcohol
Sales) of the Municipal Code.
The purpose and intent of Subsection 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the Zoning Code is to
maintain a healthy environment for residents and businesses by establishing a set of
consistent standards for the safe operation of alcohol establishments. The project has
been reviewed and conditioned to ensure that the purpose and intent of this section is
maintained and that a healthy environment for residents and businesses is preserved.
Alcohol service will be provided for the convenience of customers of the restaurant.
The Police Department has prepared an Alcohol Related Statistics report for the project
site (Attachment No. PC 3). The data from the Alcohol Related Statistics Report is
incorporated into the factors for consideration in the Resolution for Approval (Attachment
No. PC 1). The existing restaurants in Lido Marina Village have not been detrimental nor
created a nuisance to the community. Operational conditions of approval recommended
7
Skal Minor Use Permit (PA2021-149)
Planning Commission, December 9, 2021
Page 6
by the Police Department relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages will ensure
compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol-related impacts.
Minor Use Permit Findings
In accordance with Section 20.52.020 (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use Permits),
the Planning Commission must also make the following findings for approval of 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 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; 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.
The operation is defined as a food service use and is consistent with the purpose and
intent of MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water Related) General Plan land use designation and
Zoning District. The MU-W2 designation applies to waterfront properties in which marine-
related uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor-serving commercial and
residential dwelling units on the upper floors. Food service uses are common in this area
and are complementary to the surrounding commercial uses through compliance with the
proposed conditions of approval.
In compliance with NBMC Section 20.48.090(B)(1)(a) (Eating and Drinking
Establishments), the pass-through window along the side of the building would only be
used for take-out orders. As stated on the floor plans, no alcohol sales or service is
allowed at the pass-through window and sign would be posted on the wall citing the code
requirements.
Alternatives
1. The Planning Commission may suggest specific project modification or operational
changes that are necessary to alleviate concerns. If the changes are substantial,
the item should be continued to a future meeting to allow redesign of the project.

2. If the Planning Commission does not believe the facts in support of findings can
be made, they may provide instruction or evidence to staff regarding the facts in
support of denial. Staff would return to the Planning Commission with a draft
resolution for denial.
Environmental Review
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15301 under Class 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 operation, repair,
maintenance, repair, leasing, permitting, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or
private structures, involving negligible or no expansion of use. The proposed project involved
the interior alteration of an existing commercial building. Therefore, the project qualifies for
a categorical exemption under Class 1.
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.

OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA APPROVING MINOR USE
PERMIT NO. UP2021-029 FOR A NEW FOOD SERVICE, EATING
AND DRINKING ESTABLISHMENT WITH A TYPE 47 (ON-SALE
GENERAL - EATING PLACE) ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
CONTROL (ABC) LICENSE AND OUTDOOR DINING WITH NO
LATE HOURS LOCATED AT 3400 VIA OPORTO (PA2021-149)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by John Stockwell (“Applicant”) with respect to property located at
3400 Via Oporto, and legally described as Parcel 1 of Parcel Map No. 59-17 (“Property”)
requesting approval of a minor use permit.
2. The Applicant proposes a minor use permit to operate a 1,453-square-foot food service,
eating and drinking establishment with a Type 47 (On-Sale General - Eating Place)
Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license (“Project”) within a vacant tenant space. The
Project will include 347 square feet of interior net public area and a 199-square-foot
outdoor dining area. There are no late hours (after 11:00 p.m.).
3. The Property is located within the Mixed-Use Water (MU-W2) Zoning District and the
General Plan Land Use Element category is Mixed Use Water 2 (MU-W2).
4. The Property is located within the Coastal Zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan category is
Mixed Use Water Related (MU-W) and it is located within the Mixed-Use Water (MU-W2)
Coastal Zoning District. The Project is exempt from coastal development permitting
requirements because there is no increase in floor area or building height authorized under
this action. New restaurants and conversions (as well as the associated parking
requirements) were previously authorized under Conditional Use Permit No. UP2017-019,
which included a parking management plan for Lido Marina Village. The area dedicated to
restaurant use under this project is consistent with conditional use permit No UP2017-019
thus, there would be no intensification of use.
5. A public hearing was held on December 9, 2021 in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic
Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and purpose of the hearing was
given in accordance with the California Government Code Section 54950 et seq. (“Ralph
M. Brown Act”) and Chapter 20.62 (Public Hearings) of 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.
13
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-033
Page 2 of 14
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, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a
significant effect on the environment.
2. Class 1 (Existing Facilities) exemption includes the operation, repair, maintenance,
permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of public or private structure, facilities,
mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion
of use. The Project involves the interior alteration of an existing commercial building.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with NBMC Subsection 20.48.030(C)(3) (Alcohol Sales) and NBMC Subsection
20.52.020(F) (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use Permits), the following findings and facts
in support of the findings for a use permit are set forth:
Finding
A. The use is consistent with the purpose and intent of NBMC Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol
Sales).
Facts in Support of Finding
In finding that the Project is consistent with NBMC Section 20.48.030, the following criteria
must be considered:
i. The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as compared to other
areas in the City.
1. The Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) divides the City into areas referred to
as Reporting Districts. The Project is located within Reporting District (RD) 15 which
stretches from 20th Street to 37th Street along the Newport Beach Peninsula. The Part
One Crimes1 crime rate in RD 15 was 136 crimes reported in 2020, which is higher than
adjacent reporting districts RD 13, RD 16, and RD 12 and the Citywide average. The
higher crime rate is largely due to the number of visitors to the Balboa Peninsula, the
high concentration of restaurants, and the high ratio of non-residential to residential
uses. While the area does have a high concentration of alcohol licenses, the findings
can be made despite higher concentrations of crimes. Further, Lido Marina Village
(LMV) was designed to accommodate restaurants. The service of alcoholic beverages
would provide additional menu options for customers and would enhance the economic
viability of the business.
2. The NBPD has reviewed the proposed use, provided operating conditions of approval,
and has no objection to the addition of the Type 47 alcoholic beverage license subject
1 Part One Crimes are the eight most serious crimes defined by the FBI Uniform Crime Report – homicide, rape,
robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, auto theft, and arson.
14
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-033
Page 3 of 14
to appropriate conditions of approval. The operation of the establishment includes the
approved floor plan and a closing hour of 11 p.m.
ii. The number of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting district
and in adjacent reporting districts.
1. The total number of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in RD 15 is
higher than RD 13, RD 16 and 12. There have been seven police dispatch events since
January 1, 2019 at the subject location. Based on the operational characteristics of the
proposed use, the NBPD has reviewed the proposal and has no objection.
iii. The proximity of the establishment to residential zoning districts, day care centers,
hospitals, park and recreation facilities, places of worship, schools, other similar uses, and
any uses that attract minors.
1. The Property is located in a mixed-use district where residential development is
permitted above the first floor. However, Lido Marina Village does not include any
residential development and there are no current plans to add residential use to the
shopping area.
2. The nearest place of recreation, the beach, is located approximately one-half mile to
the west. The nearest church, St. James Episcopal Church, is located approximately
600 feet to the south of the subject property along Via Lido. The nearest school,
Newport Elementary School, is located approximately one mile to the southeast
along West Balboa Boulevard. The project site is not located in close proximity to a
daycare center. The proposed use is otherwise surrounded by other commercial
retail and office uses.
3. The Balboa Peninsula is generally characterized by a high number of visitors, in
which commercial and residential zoning districts are located in close proximity to
one another. This location, Lido Marina Village, has greater distance from sensitive
land uses than other commercial areas on the peninsula. The nearest residential
uses are located in the adjacent mixed-use building with the residential units being
located on the upper levels away from the ground floor restaurant.
4. Eating and drinking establishments with alcohol service are common in Lido Marina
Village and the proposed ABC license in conjunction with an early closing hour
(11:00 p.m.) is not anticipated to alter the operational characteristics of the use such
that it becomes detrimental to the area. The draft resolution includes conditions of
approval to further minimize negative impacts to surrounding land uses and ensure
that the use remains compatible with the surrounding community.
iv. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off-site or on-
site consumption.
1. The Lido Marina Village was designed to accommodate multiple restaurants and the
Project is expected to be located in close proximity to other food service establishments.
15
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-033
Page 4 of 14
This includes approved applications for Nobu, a food service with late hours, outdoor
dining, and a Type 47 (On-Sale General) alcohol license located at 3450 Via Oporto;
Circle Hook, a food service with outdoor dining, a Type 47 (On-Sale General) alcohol
license and no late hours located at 3432 Via Oporto; Lido Bottle Works, a food service
with late hours, outdoor dining, a Type 41 alcohol license, and a Type 20 (Off Sale Beer
and Wine) alcohol license; and Malibu Farm, a food service with outdoor dining, a type
47 (On-Sale General) alcohol license, and no late hours. The RD15 statistics indicate
an over concentration of alcohol licenses within this statistical area.
2. The per capita ratio of one license for every 69 residents is higher than the adjacent
districts and the average ratio for Orange County. This is due to the higher concentration
of commercial land uses, alcohol licenses attributed to adjacent marina operations,
lower number of residential properties, and high number of restaurants in Lido Marina
Village, Cannery Village, and McFadden Square. While the license-to-resident ratio is
higher than average and the Project is located in close proximity to other establishments,
the location in Lido Marina Village, an established commercial area, together with the
proposed operational characteristics would make the service of alcoholic beverages
acceptable. The NBPD does not anticipate any increase in crime or alcohol-related
incidents with the approval of this application subject to the proposed conditions of
approval.
v. Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable conditions.
1. No objectionable conditions are presently occurring at the site.
2. The Project has been reviewed and conditioned to help ensure that the purpose and
intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) is
maintained and that a healthy environment for residents and businesses is preserved.
The service of alcohol is intended for the convenience of customers dining at the
establishment. Operational conditions of approval recommended by the NBPD relative
to the sale of alcoholic beverages will ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses
and minimize alcohol related impacts.
3. The hours of operation of the establishment will minimize the potential effects on land
use. The establishment closes by 11 p.m., food service from the regular menu shall be
made available to patrons until closing, and there will be no live entertainment or
dancing, which will ensure the use does not become a late night bar, tavern, or nightclub.
4. The resolution includes conditions of approval to limit objectionable conditions related
to noise and trash from the establishment. All employees serving alcohol will be required
to receive ABC-required training in responsible methods and skills for selling alcohol
beverages.
5. The subject suite was previously utilized as an office and alcohol storage space for a
charter boat operation, which had ABC licenses for several boats in their fleet (Type 54
– On-Sale General Boat). At least three of the charter boats received Type 54 Licenses.
16
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-033
Page 5 of 14
The charter boat operation is no longer operating at Lido Marina Village and the Project
would result in an overall reduction of ABC licenses at this location.
Finding
B. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of Finding
1. The MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water 2) General Plan and MU-W (Mixed-Use Water Related)
Coastal Land Use Plan land use designations apply to waterfront properties in which
marine-related uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor-serving
commercial, and residential dwelling units on the upper floors. Although the Property
and surrounding development does not include residential uses, the proposed eating
and drinking establishment is consistent with the visitor-serving land uses intended for
the MU-W2 and MU-W land used designations.
2. The requested outdoor dining patio is compatible with the goals established for Lido
Marina Village. Land Use Goal 6.9 (Lido Village) of the General Plan emphasizes the
need for a “pedestrian-oriented village environment that reflects its waterfront location,
providing a mix of uses that serve visitors and local residents.” The proposed outdoor
dining patio provides an amenity for coastal visitors to enjoy the bay frontage.
3. The Circulation Element Goal 7.1 (Parking) is to ensure an adequate supply of
convenient parking is available throughout the City. Analysis provided by the Lido
Marina Village Parking Demand Analysis and in accordance with the approved Parking
Management Program (Use Permit No. UP2017-019) demonstrates that an adequate
supply of parking will be provided based upon the shared use of parking within Lido
Marina Village.
4. Pursuant to Coastal Land Use policies the project will provide public access via a public
walkway along the waterfront with a 6-foot minimum width along the bay.
5. The Property is not part of a specific plan area.
Finding
C. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other
applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code.
Fact in Support of Finding
1. The MU-W2 (Mixed Use Water) Zoning District applies to waterfront properties in which
marine-related uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor-serving
commercial, and residential dwelling units on the upper floors. Eating and drinking
establishments with alcohol and no late hours require the approval of a minor use permit
within the MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water) Zoning District.
17
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-033
Page 6 of 14
2. NBMC Subsection 20.48.090(G)(3)(b) (Eating and Drinking Establishments, Outdoor
Dining) also requires that the review authority consider the relationship of outdoor dining
to sensitive noise receptors. The outdoor dining patio is only 199 square feet and would
close at 11 p.m. minimizing noise impacts to residents located across Newport Harbor.
3. The proposed restaurant use and required parking is consistent with the Lido Marina
Village Parking Management Program authorized under Use Permit No. UP2017-019,
which authorized a specific amount of restaurant space in the shopping center. The
proposed tenant improvement for this project is compliant with the approved maximum
area allowed for restaurant uses in Lido Marina Village. Due to the limited amount of
restaurant square footage remaining, the Applicant has voluntarily forfeited their
approved entitlement (UP2019-022) for the expansion of the existing Malibu Farm
restaurant at 3424 Via Oporto. The expansion authorized under Use Permit No.
UP2019-022 has not been constructed. The square footage allocated to the Malibu
Farm expansion has been reallocated to the Project. A condition of approval has been
included that would allow reinstatement of the existing UP2019-022 by the Community
Development Director should the proposed use permit No. UP2021-029 expire.
4. As conditioned, the Project will comply with NBMC standards for eating and drinking
establishments.
5. The eating and drinking establishment is consistent with the Lido Marina Village Design
Guidelines. The renovation of the existing tenant space will support local establishments
within Lido Marina Village and improve the pedestrian streetscape.
Finding
D. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the
allowed uses in the vicinity.
Facts in Support of Finding
1. The commercial tenant space is being improved with a kitchen and indoor and outdoor
dining areas. Communal restrooms would be utilized pursuant to the approved Master
Restroom Plan. The existing infrastructure is adequate to accommodate the eating and
drinking establishment. The location is compatible with other commercial uses in the
area and serves as a supporting restaurant use within Lido Marina Village. The eating
and drinking establishment also serves as an important visitor-serving use that benefits
the area, which is in furtherance of the City’s Coastal Land Use Plan and the Coastal
codified in California Public Resources Code Section 30000 et. seq.
2. The Property is located in a relatively dense commercial village area with multiple uses
within a short distance of each other. Lido Marina Village is conducive to a significant
amount of walk-in patrons. No on-site parking is available for the Property but adequate
parking is provided in the Lido Marina Village parking structure and adjacent street as
authorized under the approved Parking Management Program for Lido Marina Village
(Use Permit No. UP2017-019).
18
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-033
Page 7 of 14
3. The operational conditions of approval will promote compatibility with the surrounding
uses. The floor plan provides tables and counter areas to accommodate seats and a
dining atmosphere. There is no live entertainment or dance floor. Applicant is required
to maintain substantial conformance with the approved floor plan in conjunction with a
Type 47 (On Sale General - Eating Place) alcohol license so that the restaurant’s primary
use is an eating and drinking establishment and not a bar, lounge, or night club.
4. The proposed use will not necessitate high levels of lighting or illumination and all outdoor
lighting must conform to NBMC Section 20.30.070 (Outdoor Lighting).
Finding
E. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating
characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical)
access and public services and utilities.
Facts in Support of Finding
1. The Project is located within an existing commercial building. The design, size, location,
and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the surrounding Lido Marina
Village development.
2. Adequate public and emergency vehicle access is provided from Via Oporto and from
Via Lido, and public services and utilities are provided for on-site.
3. The design of the tenant improvements will comply with all Building, Public Works, and
Fire Codes, and will require approval by the Orange County Health Department.
Finding
F. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the harmonious
and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard
to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing
or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
Facts in Support of Finding
1. The tenant improvements to the existing commercial building should have a positive impact
on the area and may promote further revitalization of commercial properties located in Lido
Marina Village. The eating and drinking establishment will serve the surrounding
community.
2. The Project includes conditions of approval to ensure that potential conflicts with the
surrounding land uses are minimized to the greatest extent possible. Turning music on
the patio off at 10 p.m. will ensure the restaurant will remain in compliance with NBMC
Chapter 10.26 (Community Noise Control).

3. The hours of operation reduce impacts to surrounding land uses and sufficient parking
is available in the area to accommodate the eating and drinking establishment. The
operator is required to take reasonable steps to discourage and correct objectionable
conditions that constitute a nuisance within the restaurant facility, adjacent properties, or
surrounding public areas, sidewalks, or parking lots of the restaurant, during business
hours, if directly related to the patrons of the establishment.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR SKAL
Project Address: 3400 Via Oporto, Suite 104, Newport Beach, CA 92663
The proposed project consists of the tenant improvement of two existing 1st floor suite in existing two
story commercial buildings, into an indoor/outdoor boutique restaurant and bar.
The proposed project is a new concept conceived by Helene Henderson of Malibu Farm restaurants
called Skal which means “shell” in Swedish, Helene grew up in Sweden. As background, Helene
Henderson started Malibu Farm with wildly popular cooking classes and farm dinners out of her small farm
in Malibu, California. It then became a 6 month pop up in an abandoned Ruby’s at the end of the
moribund Malibu Pier and single-handedly transformed the neglected Pier into the thriving destination it
is today. After two years with just the cafe, Malibu Farm also took over the front Restaurant & Bar on the
Pier. Malibu Farm currently has locations in Malibu, Lanai, and Miami Beach, and in Rick Caruso’s
beachfront Rosewood hotel in Montecito. All our locations are waterfront, as locale and setting are very
important to Malibu Farm which is one of the many reasons why the Newport location is such a good fit.
Malibu Farm’s mantra is Fresh/Organic/Local and in all the locations, included the proposed Newport
location all efforts will be made to source local, fresh, organic product which will be prepared simply, with
whole wheat flours, whole grains, lots of veggies, and fruits.
Skal will follow this same mantra translated into a wood-fired pizza concept.
Skal will be a casual, family friendly, restaurant that welcomes everyone, from the beachgoers in board
shorts and flip-flops to people enjoying a night out.
The proposed project will add to the existing/approved mix of restaurants in the Lido Marina Village
development, by adding a casual dining experience with innovative offerings.
