square-foot expansion of an existing 355-square-foot outdoor dining patio that
serves an existing restaurant. Since the expansion involves the construction of an
additional patio area over the interior property line between 2800 and 2806

agreement is requested between the restaurant and 2812 and 2814 Newport
Boulevard to provide 12 additional parking spaces. There are no changes to the
interior floor plan of the restaurant. The current Type 47 (On -Sale General — Eating
