RE: Extension Request for Limited Term Permit No. XP2021-027 and Coastal Development
Permit No. 2021-051 (PA2021-205) for and outdoor dining area located at Malarky’s Irish
Pub located at 3011 Newport Boulevard
Dear Zoning Administrator Murillo:
On December 16, 2021, you, acting in your role as Newport Beach Zoning Administrator, approved a limited term permit and coastal development permit to allow a temporary outdoor dining area for Malarky’s Irish Pub. The limited term permit is effective from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022. Pursuant to condition of approval No. 2 and Municipal Code Sections 20.52.040(J) (Extension of Limited Term Permit) and 21.54.060 (Time Limits and Extensions), Malarky’s Irish Pub is requesting a 12-month extension of the approved permits with a new expiration date of December 31, 2023. If approved, the operation of the temporary outdoor dining
area will continue pursuant to the conditions of approval contained in Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2021-088.
We believe this extension is justified and that facts in support of the required findings for the original approval remain valid. Additionally, the ongoing adherence to the conditions of approval will ensure continued compatibility with the surrounding land uses. Notably, the hours operation limitations ensure the outdoor dining area is not used past 9:00 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, and 10:00 p.m. on Friday through Sunday, accessible paths of travel and exiting requirements are provided and adequate barriers are in place to separate the outdoor dining area
from vehicles using the parking lot. The temporary outdoor dining area also complies with all applicable Local Coastal Program (LCP) development standards and maintains an area consistent with the existing pattern of development on the Balboa Peninsula.
Furthermore, Council Policy D-9 recognizes the need to balance economic development objectives with protection of the environment and the health and safety of the community. As stated in Zoning Administrator Staff Report, the City continues to move forward with potential parking requirement amendments that include an analysis of parking rates for food service and
outdoor dining uses. If ultimately approved, Malarky’s ownership will have a clear understanding of the parking requirements when considering the economic feasibility of a permanent outdoor dining area design.
Thank you for your consideration and anticipated approval of our extension request and please
let me know if you need any additional information at this time.
Best regards,
Mario Marovic
