NOTICE OF PUBLIC
HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, October 12, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. or soon thereafter
as the matter shall be heard, a public hearing will be conducted online via Zoom. The Zoning
Administrator of the City of Newport Beach will consider the following application:
Roger’s Gardens Gallery - A request for a minor use permit to add a Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine)
and a Type 86 (Instructional Tasting) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license to the retail component
of an existing plant nursery. The ABC licenses would allow the Applicant to sell beer and wine for off-
site consumption and host approximately two (2) tastings per month. There are no late hours (after
11:00 p.m.) proposed for the nursery or retail shop. No construction is proposed as both the sales and
tastings will take place within existing facilities. In addition to the existing nursery and retail shop, the
project site is also developed with a restaurant. The restaurant, known as The Farmhouse, is permitted
under Minor Use Permit No. UP2014-049 and carries its own established Type 47 (On-Sale General)
ABC license, which restricts alcohol sales and consumption within the perimeter of the restaurant. The
restaurant is operated separately, and no changes are proposed to the existing restaurant or UP2014-
049.
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15301 - Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the State
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) Guidelines.
All interested parties may appear and present testimony regarding this application. If you challenge this
project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you raised at the public hearing or in
written correspondence delivered to the City, at, or prior to, the public hearing. Administrative procedures
for appeals are provided in the Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 20.64. The application may be
continued to a specific future meeting date, and if such an action occurs, additional public notice of the
continuance will not be provided.
The agenda, staff report, and corresponding documents will be available by end of business day on the
Friday preceding the public hearing, and may be reviewed at the Community Development Department
Permit Center (Bay C-1st Floor), at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660 or at the City of
