establishment and operation of a restaurant with late hours and off -site parking;
1 of 3
• Operator License: An operator license from the Newport Beach Police Department
(NBPD) pursuant to Chapter 5.25 (Operator License for Establishments Offering
Alcoholic Beverages for On -Site Consumption in Combination with Late Hours,

• Coastal Development Permit (CDP): A coastal development permit to authorize
the conversion of a retail shell building into a restaurant, construction of a third -floor

Exceptions) of the NBMC, and off -site parking; and
• Traffic Study: A traffic study pursuant to Chapter 15.40 (Traffic Phasing Ordinance)
of the NBMC as the project will generate a net increase of over 300 average daily
trips.
Recommended Actions:

to Section 15303 and under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small

CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the
environment and the exceptions to these exemptions do not apply; and
3. Adopt Resolution No. PC2025-016 approving the Conditional Use Permit, Major Site
Development Review, Coastal Development Permit, and Traffic Study filed as
PA2025-0057.
