Lee, Associate Planner Attachments: Planning Comments for Project Description Planning Comments for Parking Study Building Comments PW Comments Fire Comments Project Description and Justification 2600 E. Coast Highway Project Description The applicant seeks a Conditional Use Permit to establish a food service use (NBMC § 20.48.090) and a Parking Management Plan (NBMC § 20.40.110). The project proposes to convert Suite 100 from its previous use as a medical office to a food service restaurant – Sugarfish, a high-quality sushi restaurant. The restaurant would occupy the approximately 1,516 square feet of floor area, with approximately 900 square feet of net public area. It would provide 43 seats and would include beer and wine sales. The restaurant’s hours of operation are expected to be 11:30 am to 10:00 pm, Monday-Thursday, 11:30 am to 11:00 pm, Friday and Saturday, and 12:00 pm to 9:00 pm, Sundays. The restaurant would serve beer and wine only pursuant to a Type 41 on-sale license from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”). The restaurant would establish a new use within an existing approximately 21,325 square foot center. The existing uses include a restaurant, business offices, and medical offices. There are currently six vacant suites. The Parking Report (attached) conducted parking counts at various peak hours to assess parking demand for the existing uses. The report concluded that the existing uses, as identified, resulted cin a demand for 23 on-site parking spaces during peak demand hours, which is less than the parking that would be required by the NBMC. To calculate future parking demand, the report cumulatively added (1) existing parking demand + (2) NBMC standard parking for the proposed restaurant (Sugarfish) + (3) NBMC standard parking for assumed future uses of the currently vacant spaces. The entire center, including existing uses, Sugarfish, and future assumed demand based on code-required parking, would require 88 spaces, which is one less than the 89 parking spaces provided. With implementation of valet service, an additional 24 spaces could be created, thus increasing the available supply to 113 spaces. Justification/Findings CUP Findings Finding: The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. The project is consistent with the General Plan, which designates the property 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 proposed restaurant is consistent with the intent of the CC designation, which seeks development of service uses along commercial frontages. Suite 100, which is the proposed location of Sugarfish, is located on the property’s frontage along East Coast Highway, which is a major commercial thoroughfare within the City. With the proposed restaurant, the property would be served by adequate parking (as demonstrated by the parking report) and the incorporation of valet would ensure adequacy of parking (by providing excess spaces) and efficiency of parking during peak demand periods. To that end, the project proposes establishing a new restaurant in an area intended for such uses and provides appropriate parking to ensure proper functioning of the use. Finding: The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code. The property is zoned Corridor Commercial (“CC”) which, like the CC General Plan designation, “is intended to provide for” establishment of neighborhood-serving retail and service uses “along street frontages that are located and designed to foster pedestrian activity.” Eating and Drinking Establishments, including those with late hours and alcohol service, are permitted within the CC zone Commented [LD1]: What Suite? Commented [LD2]: Requires 23 spaces Commented [LD3]: No late hours. OK. Commented [LD4]: How long have they been vacant? Previous uses? Provide table showing each suite, floor area, and use. Commented [LD5]: The parking study assumes 12,108 SF of medical office use (increase of 7,473 SF medical office). Medical office conversion is part of the project? Commented [LD6]: How many spaces are requested to be waived? Not clear. Provide breakdown of parking. Are all spaces in the sub. Garage? Or some are surface level? with the approval of a CUP. As discussed above, Sugarfish would be located on the property’s East Coast Highway frontage. This location serves the purposes of the CC zone, particularly with respect to establishing a neighborhood-serving service use (desirable restaurant) in an area that promotes pedestrian activity. The previous use of Suite 100 – a medical office – does not engage the frontage or serve to implement the goals of the CC zone to as great a degree as the proposed restaurant, which will increase pedestrian-scale use of the area/property. Finding: The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity. The proposed use is consistent with the allowed uses in the vicinity and would not be out of scale or incompatible with the area. The project is a tenant improvement to change the use of an existing suite. It does not propose additional development. There are residential uses to the north and east of the shopping center. However, as noted above, the Suite 100 location fronts Coast Highway which is a major commercial thoroughfare within the City. Moreover, the shopping center has an existing casual restaurant – Bamboo Bistro – that has been operating successfully and harmoniously with the surrounding uses for years. The project would not increase parking demand beyond that which is capable of being accommodated within the existing parking serving the property (and with the implementation of valet parking, would be served by an even greater surplus of parking). The parking report prepared for the project concluded that existing parking demand plus assumed code-required future parking for uses would not exceed the existing parking supply (89) spaces. With implementation of valet service, an additional 24 spaces could be created, thus increasing the available supply to 113 spaces. Also, the location provide a walkable food service establishment to the surrounding residential neighborhood, which is anticipated to reduce parking demand and utilization. Finding: 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. The property is physically suitable for the project. As discussed above, the project is a tenant improvement change of use to convert an existing suite within a shopping center to a high-quality restaurant. The project’s parking area is located underground and is accessed from5th Avenue through an approximately 22-foot driveway alley. 5th Avenue is a right-in/right-out only maneuver from Coast Highway, which reduces inconsistent traffic movements along Coast Highway. The shopping center is also accessible at Coast Highway/Fernleaf Avenue, which transports drivers to the driveway access off of 5th Avenue. The driveway location off of Coast Highway minimizes the potential to traffic issues at project access points. The property’s frontages on Coast Highway and 5th Avenue provides ample space for emergency access and maneuvering. The project does not propose late-night operating hours and is located adjacent to Coast Highway. Finding: 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 refer to the findings above regarding the appropriateness of the project within the shopping center. On-Site Alcohol Sales Findings Finding: The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as compared to other areas in the City. Per the Newport Beach Police Department’s website, the property is within Area 4 and Reporting District 44. Comparing the publicly available area-wide crime statistics for 2021, Area 4 had the least total Commented [LD7]: There is history with Bamboo Bistro (UP3620) which includes a parking waiver of two spaces. Please review this document and have it incorporated into parking waiver request. crimes reported of all the crime areas.1 The census tract (Tract 627.01) also has a modest amount of on- sale retail licenses, with only 13 active on-sale retail licenses reported by the ABC. This number of active licenses is attributable to, and consistent with, the establishment of Coast Highway as a neighborhood- serving commercial (retail and service) destination. Finding: The numbers of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting district and in adjacent reporting districts. Area 4 generally has lesser crime than the other reporting areas within the City. As discussed previously, the Coast Highway corridor is intended as a commercial designation for neighborhood-serving retail and services, including eating and drinking establishments. With this high concentration of commercial uses, calls for service may be higher along the corridor than other less commercial areas of the City. However, the area is not inconsistent with expectations of calls for service for highly commercial and frequently patronized areas. Finding: 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. Suite 100 is located adjacent to Coast Highway. Although the property has residential uses to the north and east, such uses would be buffered from the proposed restaurant by the larger shopping center. Also, 5th Avenue provides further separation from the proposed restaurant and residential uses to the north. The proposed restaurant would not locate alcohol service any closer to the residents than is already occurring and Coast Highway is a highly traveled commercial area with many restaurants, bars and other commercial establishments. The shopping center itself is an entirely commercial structure and does not propose establishment of residential uses. Consistent vehicular access along the rear driveway, along with implementation of valet parking, as necessary to accommodate demand, would ensure that the space behind the building remains well traveled, secure, and monitored. Old School Park is the nearest public park, located across Coast Highway and past existing parking and 4th Avenue. Finding: The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off-site or on-site consumption. There are a few other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption within the vicinity of the property, which is not unexpected given the commercial nature of the area (zone CC). The majority of the establishment front directly along Coast Highway and are oriented away from nearby residential uses. The project does not propose late night hours, and instead will cease operating by 11:00 pm (on weekend nights and earlier other nights). • Bamboo Bistro (2600 E. Coast Highway) • Avila’s El Ranchito – Corona del Mar (2515 E. Coast Highway) • The Bungalow (2441 E. Coast Highway) • Ruby’s Diner (2305 E. Coast Highway) Finding: Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable conditions. The Project has been reviewed and conditioned to help ensure that the purpose and intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the NBMC is maintained and that a healthy environment for residents and businesses is preserved. The service of alcohol is intended for the convenience of customers dining at the 1 2021 statistics in order of least crimes reported: (1) Area 4, 323 reported crimes, (2) Area 1, 376 reported crimes, (3) Area 2, 471 reported crimes, and (4) Area 3, 554 reported crimes. establishment. Operational conditions of approval recommended by the Police Department relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages will ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol related impacts. All employees serving alcohol will be required to complete a certified training program in responsible methods and skills for selling alcoholic beverages, as required by the State of California. Trames 0370-0001 4225 Oceanside Blvd., #354H Oceanside, CA 92056 (760) 291 - 1400 July 6, 2022 Mr. Mark Moshayedi MSM Global Ventures 17475 Gillette Ave., Suite 100 Irvine, CA 92614 Subject: 2600 East Coast Hwy. Parking Study (JN 0370-0001) Dear Mr. Moshayedi: Trames Solutions Inc. is pleased to submit the following parking study for the proposed restaurant that will serve alcohol. It is our understanding that the project will consist of developing a restaurant into a currently vacant space located at 2600 East Coast Highway in the City of Newport Beach. INTRODUCTION The proposed restaurant will serve alcohol and will occupy Suite 100 (1,516 sf) with approximately 900 sf of public area. Attachment A provides the layout of the individual uses and the overall site. The current tenants of the building consist of restaurant and office uses. It should be noted that some of the spaces are vacant. The intent of the parking study is to identify the current parking demands and the future demands with the proposed restaurant that will serve alcohol. Currently, there are a total of 89 parking spaces available on site. The site also has on- street parking available along the building’s frontage on E. Coast Highway, Dahlia St., and 5th Ave. The following scope of work represents the services conducted to evaluate the adequacy of the number of parking spaces at the current and proposed site. Mr. Mark Moshayedi 2600 East Coast Highway July 6, 2022 Page 2 Trames 0370-0001 1. Conducted parking counts between 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM on a Thursday, and 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM on a Friday and Saturday when schools were in session. 2. Observed the number of on-street vehicles patronizing the project site. 3. Identified the maximum number of occupied parking spaces based on the empirical counts. 4. Determined the project’s parking demand based on the proposed square footage utilizing the City’s parking demand rates. 5. Determined the parking demands based on other vacancies. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH PARKING CODE REQUIREMENTS As indicated previously, the project is proposed to be located within an existing commercial center. Table 1 provides a summary of the current tenants and the parking requirements based on the City’s code. The following parking rate is based on the City of Newport Beach’s Municipal Zoning Code 21.40.060 for the uses associated with the site: • Food Service Uses = 1 parking space for each 30 to 50 square feet of net public area • Office = 1 parking space per 250 sf • Medical Office = 1 parking space per 200 sf Current Conditions The site currently has the following occupancies: • 5,188 sf of office space • 4,635 sf of medical office space • 900 sf of restaurant public area (1,959 sf total) • 9,543 sf vacant space Mr. Mark Moshayedi 2600 East Coast Highway July 6, 2022 Page 3 Trames 0370-0001 Based on the occupied suites, a total of 69 parking spaces are required per the City’s parking rates. Proposed Project The proposed restaurant serving alcohol is anticipated to operate between 8:00 AM and 11:00 PM and would include a total of about 1,516 sf. About 900 sf would be used for the public area. According to the code requirements, the parking rate ranges between 1 space for 30 and 50 square feet of public area. The variability is based on physical and operational site characteristics and location of the establishment. In order to estimate the number of parking spaces that this project would require, the middle of the range has been applied (1 space per 40 square feet of public use). Therefore, the following number of parking spaces would be required for the proposed Suite 100 1,516 sf (900 sf of public area) project: • Suite 100 = 23 spaces (26 spaces = 900 sf * 1 sp/40 sf) Total project demand = 23 spaces Proposed Conditions The parking conditions with the proposed project include the assumptions that all vacant spaces will be occupied by a medical office. The following occupancies are assumed: • 5,188 sf of office space • 12,108 sf of medical office space • 1,800 sf of restaurant public area (4,029 sf total) Table 2 indicates that a total of 132 parking spaces would be required based on the City’s code. This represents an increase of 63 spaces over the existing requirement. This is due Mr. Mark Moshayedi 2600 East Coast Highway July 6, 2022 Page 4 Trames 0370-0001 to no changes in the office square footage, an increase of 7,473 sf of medical office, and a 900 sf public area restaurant. PARKING SURVEY As indicated previously, the existing commercial center consists of 89 on-site parking spaces. Parking counts were conducted on Thursday (4/7/22, 8 AM-10 PM), Friday (4/8/22, 8 AM-11 PM), and Saturday (4/9/22, 8 AM-11 PM). It should be noted that the number of vehicles attributed to the project site were also observed along the adjacent streets (E. Coast Hwy., Dahlia St., and 5th Ave.). Attachment B contains the empirical parking survey for the weekday and weekend time periods. The highest demand on the weekday occurred at 7 PM with a total of 58 vehicles attributed to the site, consisting of 23 occupied on-site spaces and 35 occupied on-street spaces. Based on a supply of 89 on site spaces, a surplus of 66 on-site parking spaces were available during the peak weekday demand period. The highest demand on the weekend occurred at 7 PM with a total of 56 vehicles attributed to the site, consisting of 19 occupied on-site spaces and 37 occupied on-street spaces. Based on a supply of 89 on site spaces, a surplus of 70 on-site parking spaces were available during the peak weekend demand period. CONCLUSIONS Based on the City’s parking code, the existing commercial building currently requires a total of 63 on-site parking spaces for the occupied suites (Table 1). Table 2 indicates that with the proposed restaurant and medical office uses assumed for the current vacancies, a total of 127 on-site parking spaces would be required based on the City’s code. The commercial building provides for 89 on-site parking spaces. In order to determine the actual parking demands, empirical parking counts were collected during the peak timeframe on a weekday and weekend. The counts indicate the highest demand occurred Mr. Mark Moshayedi 2600 East Coast Highway July 6, 2022 Page 5 Trames 0370-0001 on a Friday with 58 vehicles attributed to the site, consisting of 23 occupied on-site spaces and 35 occupied on-street spaces. This results in an excess on-site supply of 66 spaces. Based on the City of Newport Beach’s parking code, the proposed expansion project would require a total of 23 additional parking spaces. Furthermore, assuming that the building’s vacancies were occupied by medical office space in the future, a total of 42 additional spaces would be required. Therefore, assuming that the proposed project’s parking demands occur concurrently with the building’s peak, there would be a total demand of 88 on-site parking spaces (88 spaces = 23 current on-site peak demand spaces + 23 required spaces for the restaurant + 42 spaces for the medical offices). Since the site has 89 available parking spaces, there would be a 1 space surplus. If there are any questions regarding the analysis, please do not hesitate to call me at (949) 244-2436.

Parking Study (JN 0370-0001) Dear Mr. Moshayedi: Trames Solutions Inc. is pleased to submit the following parking study for the proposed restaurant that will serve alcohol. It is our understanding that the project will consist of developing a restaurant into a currently vacant space located at 2600 East Coast Highway in the City of Newport Beach. INTRODUCTION The proposed restaurant will serve alcohol and will occupy Suite 100 (1,516 sf) with approximately 900 sf of public area. Attachment A provides the layout of the individual uses and the overall site. The current tenants of the building consist of restaurant and office uses. It should be noted that some of the spaces are vacant. The intent of the parking study is to identify the current parking demands and the future demands with the proposed restaurant that will serve alcohol. Currently, there are a total of 89 parking spaces available on site. The site also has on- street parking available along the building’s frontage on E. Coast Highway, Dahlia St., and 5th Ave. The following scope of work represents the services conducted to evaluate the adequacy of the number of parking spaces at the current and proposed site. Rec 7/29 PW Review 8/3 Double check. Parking survey shows 84 spaces. Mr. Mark Moshayedi 2600 East Coast Highway July 6, 2022 Page 2 Trames 0370-0001 1. Conducted parking counts between 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM on a Thursday, and 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM on a Friday and Saturday when schools were in session. 2. Observed the number of on-street vehicles patronizing the project site. 3. Identified the maximum number of occupied parking spaces based on the empirical counts. 4. Determined the project’s parking demand based on the proposed square footage utilizing the City’s parking demand rates. 5. Determined the parking demands based on other vacancies. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH PARKING CODE REQUIREMENTS As indicated previously, the project is proposed to be located within an existing commercial center. Table 1 provides a summary of the current tenants and the parking requirements based on the City’s code. The following parking rate is based on the City of Newport Beach’s Municipal Zoning Code 21.40.060 for the uses associated with the site: • Food Service Uses = 1 parking space for each 30 to 50 square feet of net public area • Office = 1 parking space per 250 sf • Medical Office = 1 parking space per 200 sf Current Conditions The site currently has the following occupancies: • 5,188 sf of office space • 4,635 sf of medical office space • 900 sf of restaurant public area (1,959 sf total) • 9,543 sf vacant space provide dates -What are the tenant names? I believe there's a retail store (Discovery Shop). -What are the vacant uses? We need this to prepare a trip generation. see comments in report. Mr. Mark Moshayedi 2600 East Coast Highway July 6, 2022 Page 3 Trames 0370-0001 Based on the occupied suites, a total of 69 parking spaces are required per the City’s parking rates. Proposed Project The proposed restaurant serving alcohol is anticipated to operate between 8:00 AM and 11:00 PM and would include a total of about 1,516 sf. About 900 sf would be used for the public area. According to the code requirements, the parking rate ranges between 1 space for 30 and 50 square feet of public area. The variability is based on physical and operational site characteristics and location of the establishment. In order to estimate the number of parking spaces that this project would require, the middle of the range has been applied (1 space per 40 square feet of public use). Therefore, the following number of parking spaces would be required for the proposed Suite 100 1,516 sf (900 sf of public area) project: • Suite 100 = 23 spaces (26 spaces = 900 sf * 1 sp/40 sf) Total project demand = 23 spaces Proposed Conditions The parking conditions with the proposed project include the assumptions that all vacant spaces will be occupied by a medical office. The following occupancies are assumed: • 5,188 sf of office space • 12,108 sf of medical office space • 1,800 sf of restaurant public area (4,029 sf total) Table 2 indicates that a total of 132 parking spaces would be required based on the City’s code. This represents an increase of 63 spaces over the existing requirement. This is due Double check with Table 1. Bamboo Bistro 1,959 SF + Sugarfish 1,516 SF = 3,475 SF Please verify. Ex'g medical 4,635 SF + Vacant to-be converted to medical 9,453 SF = 14,178 SF Double check with Table 2. Verify with Planning.23 Mr. Mark Moshayedi 2600 East Coast Highway July 6, 2022 Page 4 Trames 0370-0001 to no changes in the office square footage, an increase of 7,473 sf of medical office, and a 900 sf public area restaurant. PARKING SURVEY As indicated previously, the existing commercial center consists of 89 on-site parking spaces. Parking counts were conducted on Thursday (4/7/22, 8 AM-10 PM), Friday (4/8/22, 8 AM-11 PM), and Saturday (4/9/22, 8 AM-11 PM). It should be noted that the number of vehicles attributed to the project site were also observed along the adjacent streets (E. Coast Hwy., Dahlia St., and 5th Ave.). Attachment B contains the empirical parking survey for the weekday and weekend time periods. The highest demand on the weekday occurred at 7 PM with a total of 58 vehicles attributed to the site, consisting of 23 occupied on-site spaces and 35 occupied on-street spaces. Based on a supply of 89 on site spaces, a surplus of 66 on-site parking spaces were available during the peak weekday demand period. The highest demand on the weekend occurred at 7 PM with a total of 56 vehicles attributed to the site, consisting of 19 occupied on-site spaces and 37 occupied on-street spaces. Based on a supply of 89 on site spaces, a surplus of 70 on-site parking spaces were available during the peak weekend demand period. CONCLUSIONS Based on the City’s parking code, the existing commercial building currently requires a total of 63 on-site parking spaces for the occupied suites (Table 1). Table 2 indicates that with the proposed restaurant and medical office uses assumed for the current vacancies, a total of 127 on-site parking spaces would be required based on the City’s code. The commercial building provides for 89 on-site parking spaces. In order to determine the actual parking demands, empirical parking counts were collected during the peak timeframe on a weekday and weekend. The counts indicate the highest demand occurred Summarize parking survey and results in a table There is outdoor dining in the public right-of-way outside Bamboo Bistro (located along Fifth Ave in the parking lane and on the sidewalk). Please explain how this effects the parking survey. Why isn't some or all the occupied on-street parking spaces part of the site demand? (Friday) Summarize results in a table This is the peak parking demand hour iswhen you add private and on-streetparking. Please explain since you didnot use the on-street parking countstowards the site's occupancy. Mr. Mark Moshayedi 2600 East Coast Highway July 6, 2022 Page 5 Trames 0370-0001 on a Friday with 58 vehicles attributed to the site, consisting of 23 occupied on-site spaces and 35 occupied on-street spaces. This results in an excess on-site supply of 66 spaces. Based on the City of Newport Beach’s parking code, the proposed expansion project would require a total of 23 additional parking spaces. Furthermore, assuming that the building’s vacancies were occupied by medical office space in the future, a total of 42 additional spaces would be required. Therefore, assuming that the proposed project’s parking demands occur concurrently with the building’s peak, there would be a total demand of 88 on-site parking spaces (88 spaces = 23 current on-site peak demand spaces + 23 required spaces for the restaurant + 42 spaces for the medical offices). Since the site has 89 available parking spaces, there would be a 1 space surplus. If there are any questions regarding the analysis, please do not hesitate to call me at (949) 244-2436.

VALET & STACKED PARKING PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN 2600 E. Coast Hwy, Corona Del Mar, CA | SMM 2600 PCH LLC 5 Valet Operational Details The Greeting Zone or valet staging area will be located along the curb located on 5th Street in front of the property. The greeting area will have the capacity to hold 4 vehicles at any one time. All valet equipment will be stored and locked inside the parking garage, in an agreed upon area, to ensure the longevity of the equipment. The equipment will be taking in and out each night the valet program is offered by the valet on duty. 30 minutes will be designated for the set up and tear down of such equipment. With the ever-evolving changes in our economy, valet and valet stack will be utilized on an as needed basis. Through seasonality, and minimal onsite staff and tenant parking we will be able to easily mobilize parking services at a moment’s notice. Hours of Operation The hours of operation, for valet, will flex based on seasonality and will be utilized on an as needed bases to ensure accommodations for all parking demand. Due to LAZ’s size in the local Corona Del Mar / Newport Beach area, we will be able to staff up and down, at a moment’s notice, to handle the location’s needs. Valet Parking – Guest Experience (Vehicle Arrival) The following is the process for greeting guests who choose to utilize the valet service. • Guest is greeted by a Valet Ambassador in the Greeting Zone. • We train and utilize our guest service practice of G.E.N.I. Greet Guest are to be greeted within 15 seconds and personally express a warm welcome! Eye Contact Make eye connect with each guest to establish a human level of connection and trust with the guest. Name Recognition Our valets will ask for the guest’s name upon arrival and will use their name at least once on the way in and on the exit. They will also introduce themselves by name during the initial greeting. 2. VALET & STACKED PARKING Not allowed in public ROW. taken Will valet operation be coordinated with all businesses? Is it offered to all businesses (shared valet operation)? What about customers who park in garage before valet begins? 2. VALET & STACKED PARKING PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN 2600 E. Coast Hwy, Corona Del Mar, CA | SMM 2600 PCH LLC 6 Impress Someone Anticipate a need/ask a helping question upon arrival and at exit. • Guest is issued a valet claim check and given retrieval instructions, including: ➢ The option to text ahead for their vehicle ➢ Instructions on how and where to pick up the vehicle pick when they are ready to depart • Guest leaves the Greeting Zone and proceeds to their destination within 2600 E. Coast Hwy. Valet Parking – Guest Experience (Vehicle Departure) • Guest either texts ahead or returns to Greeting Zone and presents valet claim check to Valet Attendant or Valet Ambassador. • With the use of technology, the Valet Attendant inside the parking garage will be notified of the departing vehicle. • Once the vehicle has been confirmed the guest(s) is directed to the back of the property to pick up their vehicle. • The Valet Attendant will retrieve the vehicle out of the garage and bring it to the alley located in the back of the property. The attendant will turn off the vehicle, opens all doors for guest, thanks the guest and hand the driver the vehicle keys. • Guest departs in their vehicle and proceeds toward Fernleaf Avenue. 2.

VALET & EMPLOYEE STACKED PARKING PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN 2600 E. Coast Hwy, Corona Del Mar, CA | SMM 2600 PCH LLC Flash Valet In order to operate the valet as efficiently as possible, minimize guest wait times, and maximize guest service, we propose utilizing Flash Valet technology at 2600 E Coast Hwy. When any guest decides to valet park, they typically expect to be treated like a VIP. With that said the implementation of Flash will give the guest the ultimate in convenience when valet parking. Valet parking customers will enjoy VIP service with the ability to request their car (including the option to pay) right from their mobile phone. It’s as simple as them sending a text message! Upon arrival the valet attendant will politely explain the simple instructions on how to text for the vehicle a few minutes proper to being ready to leave the property. This information will be located on the valet parking ticket as indicated below: With this property having a greeting zone and departure zone the technology will allow the valets in the garage to know when a vehicle is ready to be retrieved without ever having to have contact with the guest. Once the valet in the garage is notified, they will bring the guest’s vehicle to the Departure Zone and wait for the guest to arrive. 3. VALET & EMPLOYEE STACKED PARKING
