Environmental Significance
This project has been reviewed, and it has been determined that it is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality act under Class 1(Existing
Facilities).
Conformance with the 9eneral Plan
The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the site for "Retail and Service
Commercial" uses. The existing restaurant facility and the proposed combination take-out
restaurant, catering and wine store are permitted uses within this designation, subject to the
securing of a use permit. However, the Land Use Element also includes a maximum
development allocation of 99,538 sq.ft for Block I of the Newport Place Planned Community
which has been fully utilized by the existing development. Therefore, the applicant is
requesting to increase the development allocation for the subject property, by 1,080 square
feet, from 99,538 sq.ft. to 100,618 sq.ft. so as to allow for outdoor dining in conjunction with
Pascal's Restaurant.
Subject Property and Surrounding Land Uses
The subject restaurant site consists of a portion of the Plaza Newport Shopping Village.
The location of the proposed expansion is adjacent to the existing Pascal's Restaurant in a
covered outdoor area between two buildings. To the north of the shopping center, at the
rear of the property is an automobile dealership; to the east, is a Coco's Restaurant and
related parking; to the south, across Bristol Street North, is the Corona del Mar Freeway;
and to the west, is an office development.
In the late 1970's, Plaza Newport Shopping Village was constructed with 41,163 gross square
feet of commercial space and 230 parking spaces. At its meeting of August 18, 19779 the
Planning Commission unanimously approved Use Permit No. 1838 to allow the
establishment of Gower Street Restaurant in the existing commercial development. The
Gower Street Restaurant space is now occupied by Pascal's Restaurant which has an
approved "net public area" of 1,190± sq.ft., with a parking requirement of 30 spaces. It
should be noted that the Planning Commission did not approve the applicant's request to
reduce the parking requirement to one parking space for each 50 square feet of "net public
area" nor were the hours of operation limited. An excerpt of the Planning Commission
minutes of that meeting are attached for the Commission's information.
At its meeting of February 169 1978, the Planning Commission unanimously approved Use
Permit No. 1856 to allow the establishment of a Sizzler Restaurant having a "net public
area" of 2,365± sq.ft. in an existing commercial structure. Under conditions of approval for
the restaurant 58 parking spaces were required, based on one parking space for each 41
1
TO: Planning Commission - 4
square feet of "net public area". This restaurant has since been taken over by the Royal
Khyber restaurant. An excerpt of the Planning Commission minutes for that meeting are
attached for the Commission's information.
At its meeting of May 8, 1986, the Planning Commission approved Use Permit No. 3198,
a request to establish a reading clinic on the subject property in a neighboring commercial
tenant space. The conditions of approval limited the hours of the operation to between 8:00
a.m, and 7:00 p.m., daily. The landlord has indicated that the school operation has not been
in the shopping center for a number of years and does not foresee such a use returning.
On March 19, 1992, the Code Enforcement Division observed that the subject restaurant
was utilizing outdoor dining in conjunction with their establishment. On March 24, 1992,
the Code Enforcement Division sent a letter to the applicant informing him to eliminate the
outdoor dining area and to apply for an amendment to the use permit to utilize the outdoor
dining area, a copy of that letter is attached for the Commission's information. Subsequent
to receiving notification from the City, the applicant discontinued the use of the outdoor
dining area and eventually filed a use permit application on May 13,1993 in order to amend
Use Permit No 1838 so as to legally. establish the outdoor dining area.
Use Permit No. 1838 (Amended) was taken off calendar at the Planning Commission
meeting of June 24, 1993, inasmuch as it was determined that the Land Use Element of the
General Plan did not currently permit further expansion of the existing shopping center.
Analysis of Subject Restaurant and Take -Out Restaurant
In conjunction with Use Permit No. 1838 (Amended), the applicant is requesting to amend
the previously approved use permit so as to permit the expansion of the "net public area"
of the existing restaurant, by establishing a new outdoor patio dining area in conjunction
with the existing restaurant facility. The patio dining area consists of 480 sq.ft. of "net public
area," with approximately 7 tables and 19 chairs, the interior dining area consists of 1,190
sq.ft. of "net public area". Therefore, the proposed expansion will result in a total of 1,670
sq.ft. of "net public area".
The applicant has indicated that the number of restaurant employees may vary from 5 to
6 at any one time. The hours of operation of the existing facility are between the hours of
11:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. daily. The applicant has indicated that typically the restaurant
will close at approximately 11:00 p.m. and may stay open later on Friday and Saturday
nights. Staff has no objection to the proposed hours of operation, inasmuch as the facility
is not located near any residential uses and the Planning Commission has the option to
review the application and modify or add conditions, should a problem arise in the future.
In conjunction with Use Permit No. 3508, the applicant is requesting to establish a separate
2,700± square foot, take-out restaurant in combination with a catering and wine store which
will also include on -sale beer and wine, exclusive incidental seating inside the take-out
TO: Planning Commission - 5
restaurant and nonexclusive seating outside of the facility. The service of alcoholic
beverages in conjunction with the take-out restaurant will be limited to the interior seating
area only. The hours of operation for the facility will be 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday
through Saturday and 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Sunday. There will be approximately 5
employees on duty during peak hours of operation.

There are currently 233 on -site parking spaces. This is a surplus of 10 parking spaces above
that which is required for all existing uses on the site as depicted in the table above.
Off -Street Parking Requirement
Section 20.30.035 B of the Municipal Code requires one parking space for each 40 square
feet of "net public area" for a full service restaurant facility unless modified or waived by the
Planning Commission in accordance with Section 20.72.130 of the Municipal Code. Based
on a proposed "net public area" of 1,670t square feet and on one space for each 40 sq.ft.
of "net public area", a total of 42 parking spaces would be required (1,670* 'square feet
40 = 41.75 or 42 spaces) for the expansion of the existing Pascal's Restaurant. Ia
accordance with Section 20.30.035 of the Municipal Code, the restaurant parking
requirement may also vary between one parking space for each 50 sq.ft. of "net public area"
(1,670± sq.ft. = 50 = 33.4 or 34 parking spaces) to one parking space for each 30 sq.ft. of
"net public area" (1,670± sq.ft. = 30 = 55.7 or 56 parking spaces), depending on the
operational characteristics of the restaurant. The original approval of Use Permit 1838 on
August 18,1977 required 30 parking spaces which was based on one parking space for each
40 sq.ft. of "net public area" (1,190± sq.ft.-: 40 = 29.75 or 30 spaces). Based on the same
formula, the proposed outdoor dining area will increase the parking requirement for Pascal's
Restaurant by 12 panting spaces (42 spaces total).
In addition to the off-street parking required for Pascal's Restaurant, the Pascal's Epicerie,
which will operate as a take-out restaurant, is required to provide one parking space for
',
TO: Planning Commission - 6
each 50 square feet of gross floor area, plus one parking space for each employee on duty
during peak hours of operation. Such a formula will require a total of 59 parking spaces
for the take-out restaurant (2,700± sq.ft. = 50 sq.ft. = 54 spaces + 5 employee spaces =
59 parking spaces). Inasmuch as the commercial space which the applicant is proposing to
locate the take-out restaurant is currently parked at one parking space for each 250 square
feet of floor area, and is already allocated 11 parking spaces, the proposed take-out
restaurant will increase the off-street parking requirement for the site by 48 parking spaces.
The landlord has indicated that he will not allocate any additional parking spaces, over and
above the 30 spaces already allocated for Pascal's Restaurant and the 11 spaces allocated
to the commercial space to be occupied by Pascal's Epicene. Therefore, the applicant is
requesting a waiver of the additional 12 parking spaces for the proposed outdoor dining area
and the 48 additional spaces for the take-out restaurant.
The Planning Commission has approved similar requests in the past when restaurants and
take-out restaurants have been proposed within shopping centers which shared a common
parking area. It has been determined in the past that the characteristics of such a pool
parking can result in a reduction in the parking demand for any one particular use in that
center. Staff is of the opinion that the waiver of a portion of the required parking may be
appropriate in this case, given the pool of parking available for all the other uses on site.
In addition, a significant portion of the take-out restaurant operation will include retail sales
and catering activity; therefore, such use is not expected to generate as high a parking
demand as the typical fast food take-out restaurant. Staff has no objections to the requested
parking waiver.
Outdoor Dining Areas
As indicated previously, the proposed exterior dining area associated with Pascal"s
Restaurant contains approximately 480± sq.ft. and will be for the exclusive use of the
restaurant patrons. Said dining area will be located in an area of the shopping center which
is covered by an existing roof overhang. Although this area will not in itself effect the
vehicular traffic and circulation of the shopping center, the Public Works Department is
concerned that the proposed exclusive dining area for Pascal's and the nonexclusive Pascal's
Epicene will effect the passage of pedestrians to the parking lot at the rear of the shopping
center. For this reason, the Public Works Department is recommending that a minimum
8 foot clear pathway be provided for pedestrian circulation and that the tables and chairs
in the nonexclusive dining area be located so as to maintain unobstructed pedestrian
circulation in and through the nonexclusive dining area. The Building Department has also
indicated that a minimum forty-four (44) inch clear pathway must be maintained through
the nonexclusive dining area for pedestrian and handicap circulation. The appropriate
conditions of approval have been incorporated into the attached Exhibit "A".
I
TO: Planning Commission - 7
Outdoor Lc ujdsneakers
Upon inspection of the site, staff observed that the applicant has installed audio speakers
in the proposed outdoor dining area, which have been used in conjunction with the
unapproved use of the outdoor dining area. The Planning Commission in the past has not
approved the use of outdoor speakers either for paging or music purposes, inasmuch as it
has been determined that such a use is not compatible with surrounding uses. Staff has
therefore included a condition in the attached Exhibit "A" which prohibits the use of the
outdoor speakers.
Restaurant Development 5tanaaras
Chapter 20.72 0£ the Newport Beach Municipal Code was amended in 1975 by the City in
order to give the Planning Commission the opportunity to review any proposed restaurant
through the use permit procedure. Development standards were established for restaurants
in 1985 so as to insure that such facilities would be aesthetically compatible with adjoining
properties and streets. Said development standards are set forth in Chapter 20.72 of the
Municipal Code and include specific requirements for building setbacks, parking, traffic
circulation, walls surrounding the restaurant site, landscaping, parking lot illumination,
signing, underground utilities and storage.
Section 20.72.130 of the Municipal Code states that the Planning Commission shall have the
right to waive or modify any of the above mentioned development standards for restaurants
or take-out restaurants if such modification or waiver will achieve substantially the same
results and will in no way be detrimental to adjacent properties or improvements than will
the strict compliance with said conditions. It is staffs suggestion that the development
standards relative to traffic circulation, walls, parking lot illumination, landscaping and a
portion of the required off-street parking be waived due to the existing physical
characteristics of the on -site parking which is not proposed to be altered. The Newport
Place Planned Community Development Standards also adequately address landscape
requirements.
u
In accordance with the provisions of the Newport Place Planned Community District
Regulations, the existing requirements in Building Sites 2, 3 and 5 include provisions which
require that one square foot of floor area devoted to restaurants shall be counted as two
square feet of the permitted commercial floor area. Said provisions further restrict the
allowable restaurant floor area on Building Sites 3 and 5 to 8,000 square feet each. These
provisions were established in an attempt to recognize the higher traffic generating
characteristics of restaurant uses, as compared to general commercial uses. The applicant
has requested that these provisions be eliminated from the Planned Community District
Regulations.
10
TO: Planning Commission - 8
These provisions of the P-C regulations were originally adopted in 1977, when the City was
beginning to recognize the need to regulate development in a manner which recognized the
constraints of the circulation system. It is the opinion of staff that this methodology is
obsolete, and that this requirement is no longer necessary.
In the time since 1977, the City has developed two traffic models, and has adopted the
Traffic Phasing Ordinance. The traffic models have allowed City staff to evaluate the
adequacy of the circulation system assuming a standard mix of commercial land uses,
including restaurants. As a result, the City has adopted a Land Use Plan which sets
development limits on a City-wide basis which are correlated with the capacity of the
planned roadway system. The Traffic Phasing Ordinance allows the City to assess the
impact of larger developments on intersection capacity, which is critical to the overall
function of the system.
This project has been reviewed by the City's Traffic Engineer, and he has determined that
the increase in restaurant development will not create any deficiencies in the roadway
system serving this area. The proposed increase in development will not, therefore, create
an inconsistency between the Land Use and Circulation Elements, if approved
Specific Findings
No specific findings are required for the approval or denial of a General Plan Amendment.
However, it is staffs opinion that the primary issue to be addressed in the consideration of
the project is the availability of adequate on -site parking to support the level of development
intensity requested on the property. Therefore, should the Planning Commission wish to
approve General Plan Amendment No. 93-2 (E), the suggested action set forth in the
attached Exhibit "A" is recommended. However, should the Planning Commission wish to
deny General Plan Amendment No. 93-2 (E), the finding set forth in the attached Exhibit
"B" is suggested.
Should the Planning Commission wish to approve Amendment No. 783, the suggested action
set forth in the attached Exhibit "A" is recommended. Inasmuch as staff could not
determine reasonable findings for the denial of Amendment No. 783, none have been
included in the attached Exhibit "B". However, the possibility remains that information may
be provided at the public hearing which may provide adequate basis for recommending
denial of Amendment No. 783, should the Planning Commission wish to take such an action.
Section 20.80.060 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code provides that in order to grant any
use permit, the Planning Commission shall find that the establishment, maintenance or
operation of the use or building applied for will not, under the circumstances of the
particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, and general
welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use or be
detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or the general
TO: Planning Commission - 9
welfare of the City. Should the Planning Commission wish to approve Use Permit No.1838
(Amended) and Use Permit No. 3508, the findings and conditions of approval set forth in
the attached Exhibit "A" are suggested. However, should the Planning Commission wish to
deny either one or both of the use permit applications, the findings set forth in the attached
Exhibit "B" are suggested.

James Hewicker, Planning Director, referred to a recommendation
in the staff report that a minimum 8 foot clear pathway be
maintained through the proposed exclusive and non-exclusive
dining areas of the restaurant to provide for pedestrian access to
the parking spaces located at both the front and rear areas of the
shopping center. Mr. Hewicker said that this recommendation,
however, was not made an actual condition to the use permit. I-Ie
stated that currently, in the area where the exclusive dining is
proposed, there is more than 8 feet clearance, however existing
landscape planters and building supports occupy portions of the
clearance space. Mr. Hewicker said that if it were the intent of
the Planning Commission to require a minimum 8 foot clear
accessway, it would only occur where 8 feet currently exists, and
the applicant would not be required to provide greater access than
that which the shopping center developer originally provided.

Planning Director Hewicker also referred to a discussion in the
staff report regarding a requirement of the Building Code that a
minimum forty-four (44) inch clear pathway be maintained through
the non-exclusive Epicerie dining area for pedestrian and handicap
circulation. Mr. Hewicker questioned the amount of space that
would be remaining for the placement of dining tables and chairs,
as requested by the applicant, after providing for the clear
pathway. He also stated that the original applications requested
an additional 480 square feet for proposed non-exclusive patio
dining and 600 square feet for proposed exclusive Epicerie dining.
Inasmuch as the Epicerie dining was now proposed to be non-
exclusive, the total additional allocation requested of 1,080 square
feet was not technically necessary.
In response to questions by Commissioner Ridgeway and
Chairman Merrill, Planning Director Hewicker pointed out on the
display the proposed dining areas of Pascal's restaurant and those
areas which would be affected by the forty-four inch clear pathway
requirement.
Mr. Don Webb, City Engineer responded to questions posed by
Chairman Merrill and Commissioner Glover regarding Condition
No. 12 to Use Permit 3508, 'That the final location of the tables
and chairs within the non exclusive dining area shall be subject fo
further review and approval by the City Traffic Engineer." Mr. Webb
explained that vehicular and pedestrian circulation are included
among the responsibilities of the Public Works Department. In
regards to the proposed project, assuring that there are
unobstructed through -walkways for pedestrians as well as safe and
adequate access to parking areas would be a responsibility of the
City Traffic Engineer. The reasoning for this requirement, Mr.
Webb continued, is that the development plans that staff reviews
are not a detailed final version. There is a possibility that as the
project develops, changes will occur or become necessary that are
not shown on the original submittal drawings.
In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Gifford regarding the
authority of the City Traffic Engineer in respect to the

aforementioned Condition No. 12, Assistant City Attorney Robin
Flory stated that approval is for the specific number of tables and
chairs requested by the applicant. If, upon review, the Traffic •
Engineer determines that the placement of the requested number
of tables and chairs obstructs pedestrian circulation, the project
would come back to the Planning Commission for review.
The public hearing was opened in connection with this item, and
Mr. Jerry King, J. A. King & Associates, 130 Newport Center
Drive, representing the applicant, appeared before the Planning
Commission. In reference to the discussion above regarding isle
widths and placement of tables and chairs, Mr. King stated that
the property owner's representative had indicated that if necessary,
in order to accommodate clear space for both unobstructed
pedestrian and handicap passage and the dining furniture, there
could be some reconfiguration of a portion of the landscape
planters. Mr. King emphasized that the furniture is available in
various sizes and shapes and would not be ordered until the issues
were refined. He stated that both the ownership of the center and
the applicant concurred with the findings and conditions in Exhibit
"A."
Responding to a question posed by Commissioner Edwards
regarding the furniture placement, Mr. Pascal Olhats, applicant
and owner of Pasqual's restaurant, appeared before the Planning
Commission. Mr. Olhat indicated his belief that the necessary
requirements would be satisfied. He also stated it would be his
responsibility to maintain the walkways.
In reference to Condition 14, Use Permit No. 1838 (Amended),
prohibiting the use of loudspeakers or paging system, Mr. King
informed the Planning Commission that the restaurant enjoyed
background music as part of the center's sound system. He said
that the restaurant would wish to continue having the availability
of background music, but had no intention of employing a paging
system. Discussion ensued whereby Mr. Harry Woloson, Co -
"general Partner of the owner of the shopping center, appeared
before the Planning Commission. Mr. Woloson stated that

currently the center did not utilize a speaker system; the
background music emanated from speakers controlled from within
Pascal's restaurant. Mr. Woloson said that he did not believe the
music would create a problem but rather would enhance the
operation of the restaurant. Commissioner Edwards suggested
that Condition No. 14 be modified to read, "That no outdoor
loudspeakers or paging system shall be pennitted in conjunction with
the subject restaurant, other than background music front the
system as presently exists." Mr. King indicated that this
modification would be acceptable to both the property owner and
the applicant.
Mr. Dave Patterson, 209 Nata, Newport Beach, appeared before
the Planning Commission and stated he had known the applicant,
Pascal Olhat, for several years and knew him to be a reliable
person, with impeccable taste. Mr. Patterson stated his opinion
that an expansion of Pascal's restaurant would be an even greater
asset to the community it already successfully serves.
There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the public
hearing was closed at this time.
Motion was made by Commissioner Glover to approve General
Plan Amendment No. 93-2(E), Amendment No. 783, Use Permit
No. 1838 (Amended), and Use Permit No. 3508 subject to the
findings and conditions in Exhibit "A," and to modify Condition
No. 14, Use Permit No. 1838 (Amended), as recommended by
Commissioner Edwards. Commissioner Glover stated her belief
that the expansion of the restaurant would prove a benefit to the
shopping center.
Commissioner Di Sano stated his support of the motion and
complimented the applicant on providing the community with a
fine restaurant operation.
Commissioner Gifford said she would be supporting the motion

be covered by an a% ange of capacity
ownership, wherein a City would trade

Reservoir for thei share of the capital
costs of doin a water quality
improvement proj ct. The estimates for
the cost of the floating cover
alternative or in the $19 to $21
million range. Newport Beach has a 2%
capacity shot in the reservoir and the
value of t City's portion of the
floating co or would be approximately
the
one-half m lion dollars, although
cash cost to the City under that
arrange%* t would be capacity and not
dollars.
With r *pact to the second question

analy is had ever been performed on the
