INTRODUCTION
Project Setting
The proposed project is located within the Airport Area of the City. The restaurant is
located within an existing retail /business center on the westerly side of MacArthur
Boulevard between Birch Street and Campus Drive. The total land area of the project
site is approximately 3.2 acres.
Each of the three establishments are interconnected with a shared kitchen and storage
facilities, and are operated by the same ownership; however, the operational
characteristics of each differ. Panini Garden Bistro is a restaurant and bakery operating
from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. daily; Ten Asian Bistro (formerly Mosun) is an Asian -
inspired sushi restaurant operating from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. daily; and Red Night
Club (formerly Club M) is a nightclub and multi - purpose assembly facility operating
every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from the hours of 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.
The two full - service restaurants and the night club occupy an approximately 14,759 -
square- foot, two -story building. Other structures on the subject property are a two-story
11,142- square foot general commercial building and a single -story 6,464- square -foot
retail /commercial building. General office uses are located north, east, and west of the
property, and the Radisson Hotel is located south of the property across Birch Street.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to extend the hours of food service for the existing Panini
Garden Bistro ( Panini) and Ten Asian Bistro (Ten) from 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. to
provide an on -site dining option for club patrons after the Red Night Club (the Club)
closes at 2:00 a.m. After 1:00 a.m., Ten's front doors would remain open and the sliding
door separating Ten and the Club would open to provide access for patrons to enter
Ten directly from the Club. During these hours, Ten would stop serving hot food from
the kitchen and focus mainly on sushi. After 1:00 a.m., Panini would also keep front
doors open, which would be the only entrance for Club patrons as Panini is separated
from the Club by Ten. Panini would also have a different "after hours" menu
emphasizing appetizers (Business Plan Attachment No. PC 5). No alcohol will be
served after 1:00 a.m., in accordance with the conditions of their license issued by the
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).
The project also includes a revised Club floor plan to incorporate the 403 - square -foot
male and female restroom facilities addition as part of the facility authorized by the use
permit. There are existing male and female restroom facilities, one within the Club area
and one between Panini's outdoor patio area and Ten's bar area. The restaurant area
facility is not available to Club patrons as conditioned by UP2002 -040, Conditions Nos.

is located adjacent the southerly side of the dance floor which makes it
patrons to access. Furthermore, the additional restrooms alleviate
congestion from patrons walking through the dance
restrooms.
Background
floor to the existing Club area
On May 8, 2002, the Planning Commission conditionally approved Use Permit No.
UP2002 -040 permitting the establishment of two, full- service restaurants and a
nightclub /multiple purpose assembly facility with dancing and live entertainment.
Additionally, the use permit authorized the on -site sale of alcoholic beverages pursuant
to the Alcoholic Beverage Ordinance (ABO) and a waiver of a portion of the off - street
parking requirements. The Planning Commission meeting staff report and resolution
and minutes from May 8, 2005 have been attached for reference (Attachments Nos. PC
2 and PC 3).
The hours of operation for Panini and Mosun (Ten) were conditioned as follows per
Condition No. 12 and No. 13:
12. "Hours of operation for the restaurant and outdoor patio area occupied by Panini, as
depicted on the approved set of plans, shall be 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. daily."
13. "Hours of operation for the restaurant and outdoor patio area occupied by Mosun, as
depicted on the approved set of plans, shall be 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. daily."
In June of 2005, the Code Enforcement and Water Quality Division was made aware
that Panini Garden Bistro was continuing to operate after the 1:00 a.m. closing time. It
was reported that patrons were drinking and eating in the restaurant after the required
closing time. A letter was sent to the applicant informing him of the violation, which
prompted him to apply for an amendment to the subject use permit.
On August 18, 2005, the Planning Commission amended Condition No. 12 to
temporarily expand the hours of operation for Panini from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. daily
until August 2006 when the hours of operation were to revert back to 7:00 a.m. to 1:00
a.m. daily, unless the extended hours proved not to be detrimental, in which case the
Planning Director was authorized to permanently change the hours of operation. In
August 2006 the Planning Director extended the trial period for an additional one year
because the applicant could not hire enough staff for the extended hours of operation.
The restaurant only operated with the extended hours for a few months, and Planning
Staff and the Police Department expressed concern that using a shortened trial period
did not provide a realistic picture of the operation.
In July 2007, the Police Department submitted a memorandum to the Planning
Department objecting to a permanent change in the hours of operation, or for another
Panini Garden Bistro, Ten Asian Bistro, and Red Night Club
December 3, 2009
Page 5
one year extension, because the restaurant once again had not used the trial period to
extend the hours of operation. The applicant explained that the restaurant had not
operated under the extended hours due to the new management not being aware of the
opportunity to extend the hours. The Planning Department gave the new management
until August 18, 2007, for a request for an extension, however, they were unable to
establish the proper staffing and the trial period expired on October 5, 2007.
In June 2009, the Planning Department was made aware that the Club had expanded
by adding restrooms without building permits. The addition totaled more than 250
square feet and is considered a major change in operational characteristics and would
therefore require an amendment to existing Use Permit No. UP2002 -040.
On September 4, 2009, the Planning Director approved a temporary use for Panini to
extend their food service hours to 4:00 a.m. for a period not to exceed 90 days
(Attachment No. PC 5). The Planning Director agreed to the proposed temporary use
provided that the applicant submit an application for an amendment to the Use Permit to
permanently restore the expanded hours of operation for Panini from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00
a. m.
DISCUSSION
Analysis
The applicant states that extending the hours of operation of food service from 1:00
a.m. to 4:00 a.m. would provide a dining opportunity on -site for Club patrons so they do
not have to drive to other locations immediately after closure of the Club. The added
area of Ten and Panini would create a late hours facility larger than the area of the
Club. A larger area could magnify challenges for law enforcement, such as alcoholic
beverage control monitoring. Also, there is insufficient police staffing in the Airport Area
during late hours due to higher demand for Police resources throughout the City,
particularly on the Balboa Peninsula.
Newport Beach Police Department Concerns
The Newport Beach Police Department has provided staff with the attached report
(Attachment No. PC 7), including police activities and calls for service data, concerns
with the proposed extended hours, and recommendations and conditions regarding the
proposed extended hours. During review of the Temporary Use for Panini extended
hours in September 2009, the Police Department expressed concerns to the Planning
Department because of its proximity to the Club. The Police Department is already
required to spend a considerable amount of time policing this location after the Club
closes and the area of concern would increase with the extension of the hours of
operation of Panini. Since the Temporary Use was established on September 4, 2009,
the Police Department has had the opportunity to monitor Panini between 2:00 a.m. and
4:00 a.m. and there have been no major issues related to the extended hours.
Panini Garden Bistro, Ten Asian Bistro, and Red Night Club
December 3, 2009
Page 6
The Police Department does object to extending the hours of operation for Ten from
1:00 a.m. until 4:00 a.m. because this would accommodate twice as many patrons at
the late hour and it would further increase the potential for Police- related problems after
the Club closes. Additionally, because these three establishments are interconnected,
there is a concern that the distinction between the Club and the restaurants would be
compromised between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m., thus creating a significant
challenge for law enforcement in terms of monitoring ABC compliance and enforcement.
General Plan
The General Plan designates the subject property as Airport Office and Supporting
Uses (AO). The AO category identifies uses which support the John Wayne Airport and
the surrounding Airport Area, including restaurants and services. The proposed
extended hours of operation and the 403 - square -foot addition of the restrooms does not
change the use of the restaurant and Club and therefore remains consistent with this
designation.
Zoning Code
The current zoning classification of the subject property is Administrative Professional
Financial (APF). The . existing full .service restaurants and nightclub /multi - purpose
assembly facility venue were established in conformance with the Zoning Code under
existing Use Permit No. UP2002 -040.
Section 20.91.035 of the Zoning Code provides findings that are required to be made by
the Planning Commission to conditionally approve an application for a use permit. The
following provide the required findings and facts supporting the findings as they pertain
to the extension of hours for Panini and the inclusion of the restroom facilities addition
into the approved floor plans for the Red Night Club.
1. That the proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of this code
and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
The location of the restaurants and nightclub are in the airport commercial
area. Surrounding land uses are dominated by retail commercial, professional
office and visitor- serving uses. Restaurant and nightclub uses are compatible
to the surrounding commercial uses. The use is not being changed with the
proposed extended hours for Panini Garden Bistro or by incorporating the
male and female restroom facilities addition into the approved floor plan for
the Red Night Club.
2. That the proposed location of the use permit and the proposed conditions under
which it would be operated or maintained will be consistent with the General
Plan and the purpose of the district in which the site is located, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of
Panini Garden Bistro, Ten Asian Bistro, and Red Night Club
December 3, 2009
Page 7
persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use, and
will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the
general welfare of the city.
The project site is not located in close proximity to residential districts, day care
centers, schools, park and recreation facilities or places of religious assembly.
The extended food service hours for Panini Garden Bistro have been conditioned
so that additional security is provided within the restaurant and within the parking
lot to prevent any potential security problems and will operate in accordance with
the comprehensive security plan in place and approved by the Newport Beach
Police Department for the subject project site.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the provisions of this code, including
any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it
would be located.
The project design and operational characteristics, as conditioned, meets the
intent of the Zoning Code. The project has been conditioned in such a manner to
require strict adherence to safety and noise regulations. Patron access to Panini
Garden Bistro between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. will be limited
exclusively to the entrance identified with Panini signage for food service only.
The findings could not be made to recommend approval of the request for the extended
food service hours for Ten Asian Bistro from 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. and the following is
the finding for denial and facts supporting the finding:
The granting of a use permit amendment to extend the closing hour of Ten Asian
Bistro from 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. will be detrimental to the health, safety, peace,
comfort and general welfare of the City for the following reasons:
The extension of the hours of operation would accommodate twice as many
patrons at the late hour and it would further increase the potential for police -
related problems after the Red Night Club closes. The increased area would also
increase the demand on law enforcement services at a greater rate should
problems arise.
The uses on the subject site are interconnected and the extended hours would
compromise the distinction between the Red Night Club and Ten Asian Bistro
between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. This would create a significant
challenge for law enforcement in terms of monitoring ABC compliance and
enforcement.

Parking Waiver
The proposed extended hours for Panini and the addition of the restrooms within the
Club do not create the need for additional parking. Therefore, the findings and approval
for granting a waiver of a portion of the required off - street parking found in Resolution
1600 (Attachment No. PC 2) remain in effect and the related conditions have been
included in the draft Resolution (Attachment No. PC 1).
Alcohol Beverage Outlet Ordinance
The proposed amendment does not include any expansion of alcohol beverage outlet
use. Section 20.89.030 requires an existing alcohol beverage outlet to obtain a new use
permit under certain circumstances none of which include the proposed extended hours
for Panini and the restroom addition within the Club. Therefore, the existing alcohol
beverage outlet required findings and approval found in Resolution 1600 (Attachment
No. PC 2) remain in effect and the related conditions have been included in the draft
Resolution (Attachment No. PC 1).
Alternatives
1. The Planning Commission may approve the amendment as requested including
the extended hours of food service for Ten Asian Bistro from 1:00 a.m. to 4:00
a.m.
2. The Planning Commission may deny the request for all extended food service
hours for Panini Garden Bistro and Ten Asian Bistro and only approve the
amendment to incorporate the male and female restroom facilities addition into
the approved floor plan for the Red Night Club.
Environmental Review
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15301, of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines - Class 1 (Existing Facilities). This
categorical exemption allows for the repair, maintenance and minor alternations of an
existing building including additions that will not result in an increase of more than 50
percent of the floor area of the structure before the addition or 2,500 square feet,
whichever is less ( restroom facility addition), and negligible or no expansion of use
(extended food service hours).
Public Notice
Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to property owners within
300 feet of the property (excluding roads and waterways) and posted at the site a
minimum of 10 days in advance of this hearing consistent with the Municipal Code.
Additionally, the item appeared upon the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at
City Hall and on the city website.

findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Finding:
A. That the proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of this code and
the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
Facts in Support of Finding:
A -1. The location of the restaurants and nightclub are in the airport commercial area.
Surrounding land uses are dominated by retail commercial, professional office and
visitor- serving uses. Restaurant and nightclub uses are compatible to the surrounding
commercial uses. The use is not being changed with the proposed extended hours for

or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the city.
Facts in Support of Finding:
B -1. The project site is not located in close proximity to residential districts, day care
centers, schools, park and recreation facilities or places of religious assembly. The
extended food service hours for Panini Garden Bistro have been conditioned so that
additional security is provided within the restaurant and within the parking lot to

adherence to safety and noise regulations. Patron access to Panini Garden Bistro
between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. will be limited exclusively to the
entrance identified with Panini Garden Bistro signage for food service only.
The findings could not be made to recommend approval of the request for the extended food
service hours for Ten Asian Bistro from 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m.
Finding for Denial
The granting of a use permit amendment to extend the closing hour of Ten Asian
Bistro from 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. will be detrimental to the health, safety, peace,
comfort and general welfare of the City.
Facts in Support of Finding
This would accommodate twice as many patrons at the late hour and it would further
increase the potential for police related problems after the Red Night Club closes. The
increased area would also increase the demand on law enforcement services at a
greater rate should problems arise.
The uses on the subject sit a are interconnected and the extended hours would
compromise the distinction between the Red Night Club and Ten Asian Bistro between
the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. This would create a significant challenge for law
enforcement in terms of monitoring ABC compliance and enforcement.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby 1) Approves Amendment
No. 2 to Use Permit No. UP2002 -040 for the extended hours of food service for Panini
Garden Bistro and the inclusion of the male and female restroom facilities addition into
the approved floor plan for the Red Night Club subject to the conditions set forth in
Exhibit A; and, 2) Denies extended hours of food service for Ten Asian Bistro.
2. The proposed extended hours for Panini Garden Bistro and the addition of the restrooms
within Red Night Club does not create the need for additional parking. Therefore, the
findings and the waiver of a portion of the required off - street parking found in Resolution
1600 remain in effect.
The proposed amendment does not include any expansion of alcohol beverage outlet
use and Section 20.89.030 does not require the existing alcohol beverage outlet to obtain
a new use permit for the proposed extended hours for Panini Garden Bistro and the
restroom addition within the club. Therefore, the existing alcohol beverage outlet findings
and approval found in Resolution 1600 remain in effect.

SUBJECT: Mosun of Newport Beach, 4647 MacArthur Boulevard
Use Permit No. 2002 -040 (PA2002 -193)
Request for a Use Permit to allow two (2) full service restaurants and a
nightclub /multiple use venue with dancing and live entertainment and to
authorize the on -site sale of alcoholic beverages pursuant to the Alcoholic
Beverage Ordinance (ABO). The application also includes a request to
waive a portion of the required off- street parking.
APPLICANT: Bret Carman for Mosun of Newport Beach
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve Use Permit No. 2002 -193 with a
modification of the applicant's request subject to the findings and conditions of approval
included within the attached draft resolution.
Site Overview:
The proposed project is located in an existing retail /business center on the westerly side
of MacAruthur Boulevard between Birch Street and Campus Drive. The total project site
is approximately 3.2 acres with the proposed project occupying an existing 17,650
square foot, two -story restaurant building. Other structures on the subject property
consist of a two -story 11,142 square foot general commercial building and a single story
6,464 square foot commercial /retail building. A total of 193 parking spaces are provided
on site. The proposed project will occupy tenant space formerly occupied by a Coco's
restaurant (including product development facility), which has recently closed, and
Tibbie's Music Hall, which closed several years ago.

Project Overview:
The proposed project consists of two restaurants and a nightclub /multi- purpose venue
with shared kitchen and storage facilities. The applicant is proposing to eliminate
approximately 1,800 square feet of the existing 2,400 square foot second floor to open
the structure up with vaulted ceilings. The remaining 600 square feet of the second floor
will be used for storage. The resulting combined area for the entire project is
approximately 15,850 square feet. Additional construction includes four new outdoor
dining /patio areas and exterior architectural improvements. The applicant intends to
100

purchase the existing ABC license (Type 47, On -Sale General) from Coco's although a
Type 48 license may be required for the nightclub. The California Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control will make this determination after the applicant submits an
application to them and they have the opportunity to review the floor plans. Although
each of the three establishments will be interconnected and operated by the same
ownership, the proposed operational characteristics for each differ.
Panini Mediterranean Cafe
Panini Mediterranean Cafe occupies the easterly portion of the structure formerly
occupied by Coco's Restaurant and consists of approximately 1,400 square feet of
interior net public area. The interior consists of traditional dining room seating (40
portable /15 fixed seats) and bar (10 seats). Additionally, Panini has two separate
outdoor patios totaling approximately 1,013 square feet (476 square feet and 537
square feet, respectively) with a total of 52 seats. Panini is proposed to be open for
breakfast, lunch and dinner with business hours of 7 A.M. to 1 A.M. daily. Full meal
service will be available during all hours of operation and alcoholic beverage service
(Type 47 ABC license) is requested.
Mosun Sushi
Mosun Sushi occupies the middle portion of the structure and is comprised of
approximately 3,000 square feet of net public area divided between a main dining room
and a separate cocktail lounge. The main dining room is approximately 2,400 square
feet of net public area and includes a sushi bar. Proposed dining room seating is in the
form of 45 portable seats and 24 fixed seats with an additional 24 portable seats at the
sushi bar. The remaining 600 square feet of net public area is comprised of a small
cocktail lounge. Seating for this area consists of 14 portable seats, 6 fixed seats at
tables and 10 portable seats at the bar. Additionally, a 527 square foot outdoor patio
with 32 portable seats and a 371 square foot exterior waiting and cocktail area is
proposed. Mosun Sushi is proposed to be open for lunch and dinner daily from 11 A.M.
until 1 A.M. Full meal service will be available during all hours of operation and alcoholic
beverage service (Type 47 ABC license) is requested.
Club M /Multi Purpose Venue
Club M is a proposed nightclub and multi - purpose assembly facility. The requested
hours for the nightclub are 9:00 PM to 2:00 AM daily, although the applicant has
indicated that the nightclub would typically be open Friday and Saturday nights with
occasional or seasonal hours Sunday through Thursday. Club M is comprised of
approximately 3,586 square feet of net public area that includes a 650 square foot
dance floor. The only proposed seating for Club M is 17 portable bar seats. Additionally,
the applicant proposes a 1,200 square foot exterior patio in space currently occupied by
a loading dock adjacent to Club M with 36 portable patio seats. The California
Q�N
Mosun of Newport Beach
May 8, 2003
Page 4
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control will determine the type of ABC license
required when the applicant formally applies.
The applicant also proposes to use the area occupied by Club M as a venue for special
events (banquets, weddings, concerts, fashion shows, holiday parties, etc.). The
applicant has requested that the events be permitted at any time between the hours of
6:00 AM and 2:00 AM daily. This multi - purpose venue setup could accommodate 118
portable seats and the use of moveable partitions is proposed to create three separate
banquet rooms. The table below provides a summary of basic operational
characteristics.

Club M
9:00 PM - 2:00 AM

The proposed hours of operation are typical for restauranttbars and nightclubs. Given
that the proposed project is located in a commercial area with no nearby residential
uses, staff believes they are acceptable.
Live Entertainment and Dancin4
The applicant requests approval for live entertainment and dancing at Club M. Although
the applicant has requested approval to operate the nightclub daily, they have indicated
that the club will typically be open on Friday and Saturday nights and possibly
occasional Thursdays. The request for daily operations is requested to give them
flexibility to operate occasionally during the week or other days, seasonally. Pursuant to
Municipal Code requirements, the applicant is required to obtain a Live Entertainment
Permit, which includes a requirement to provide an acoustical study, which is issued by
the City Manager prior to these activities occurring at the facility. The applicant has
indicated that a cover charge will be assessed to patrons of the nightclub; therefore, a
Cafe Dance permit is not required to be obtained pursuant to Chapter 5.32 of the
Municipal Code.
Noise
The applicant proposes live entertainment and pre - recorded music in the nightclub, and
background music within the restaurants and on the outdoor patio areas. Staff is
concerned that the proposed live and recorded music and patrons on the patios may
generate enough noise to impact surrounding businesses and potentially guests at the
Radisson Hotel, which is located approximately 550 feet away and has windows that
open. In addition to complying with all applicable Municipal Code sections pertaining to
the control of noise, staff recommends the following conditions of approval to mitigate
against potential noise related problems:
rb\
Mosun of Newport Beach
May 8, 2003
Page 6
Require that all doors and windows be closed at all times to prevent noise
from emanating.
■ Restrict the use of live or pre- recorded music or amplification to the
interior of the establishment.
■ No audible outdoor paging system be permitted.
Based on these conditions, the proximity to the Radisson, the high ambient noise levels
of the area and the lack of other sensitive land uses in the area, staff believes that the
noise generated by the proposed project will not be a significant issue.
Waiver of Required Parking
With this type of use, sufficient parking is always a concern. As indicated on the site
plan, the shopping center currently has a total of 193 on -site parking spaces (includes 6
disabled spaces) that is shared between the tenants on the site. When determining the
amount of parking required by the Zoning Code, the square footage of each individual
tenant and type of business must be determined to apply the applicable parking ratio.
The applicant has provided a list of existing tenants, the square footage occupied and
the hours of operation (Table 2).

Required Parking for Project
The parking standard for restaurants and nightclubs specified by the Municipal Code is
one parking space for each 30 to 50 square feet of net public area. The specific ratio
applied is based on the operational characteristics of the establishment. Typically, a
parking ratio of 1 space per each 40 square feet of net public area is used for full
service, low turnover restaurants similar to the proposed restaurants. Required parking
for the proposed outdoor dining areas is required to be provided for the portion of
outdoor dining areas that exceeds 25% of the interior net public area. Using this
calculation the required number of parking spaces required for the restaurants is 136.
fb�
Mosun of Newport Beach
May 8, 2003
Page 7
Staff recommends that the required parking for the nightclub /multi -use venue be based
upon a 1 space for each 30 square feet of net public area due to the expected
occupancy of the nightclub. The net public area for the nightclub includes 3,586 square
feet of interior net public area and the 1,200 square foot exterior patio area for a total
net public area of 4,786 square feet. Using this calculation, the number of parking
spaces required for the nightclub is 160.
As shown on Tables 3 and 4 below, when the proposed project operate simultaneously
with the other uses of the site and when it operates independently (after 9:00 PM) the
site is deficient parking at all times, seven days a week.

by employees and patrons of the businesses they serve. Of the three sites, only 4630
Campus (45 spaces) has direct vehicular and pedestrian access to the project site. If
patrons were to use the parking at 4500 and 4540 Campus (310 parking spaces total)
they would have to cross properties not under the same ownership to access the
proposed restaurants and nightclub. Staff is concerned about restaurant and nightclub
patrons crossing private property, which may not be adequately lit or patrolled, to
access vehicles. However, the potential of using the 45 spaces provided at 4630
Campus during the evening hours does bring the project closer to compliance, leaving it
58 spaces short of the required 296. Should the other lots be considered for use, staff
believes a comprehensive parking plan should be prepared which would include
requiring a valet parking plan. Additionally, the only way to secure the off -site parking is
through an off -site parking agreement as opposed to the suggested shared use of the
parking lots which could be eliminated with a change of ownership.
Parking Waiver
In order to grant a parking waiver, Section 20.66.100 requires that one or more of the
following conditions be met:
"A municipal parking facility is so located as to be useful in connection with the
proposed use or uses on the site or sites."
A municipal parking lot is not located within proximity of the site and there is no on-
street.
2. `The site is subject to two or more uses and the maximum parking requirements
for such uses do not occur simultaneously."
As shown on Tables 3 and 4, the site is deficient parking at all times during the week
and weekends. The deficiency is lower on the weekends as some of the existing office
and retail uses are closed. Peak hours for restaurants of this type are typically during
the lunch and dinner meal periods. Although the nightclub is proposed to open at 9:00
PM, peak hours for a nightclub use are typically later in evening (after 10 PM). The
proposed multi -use venue will have variable peak hours but peak hours will likely be
between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, as the location of the establishment in a commercial
area will cater to business clients. It can also be expected that the multi -use venue will
also experience high use during weekend afternoons and early evenings for private
parties and other special events. Because of the magnitude of the deficiency in parking,
staff considered a reduced project. If the multi -use venue is not authorized, and the
nightclub is, there will be no deficiency of parking in the AM, a deficiency of 14 parking
spaces after 11:00 AM during lunch, no deficiency during the dinner hours after 6:00 PM
due to other businesses on site closing. A deficiency of 103 parking spaces after 9:00
PM occurs when the nightclub and both restaurants are operating simultaneously.
�A
Mosun of Newport Beach

Staff believes the fourteen space deficiency during lunch hours is acceptable due to the
potential for walk -in trade from surrounding business offices and some internal capture
of parking demand with other uses on -site will take place as patrons of other business in
the center dine at the proposed restaurants. The on -site deficiency of 103 parking
spaces after, 9:00 PM, when the nightclub opens is partially mitigated due to the
expected reduction in restaurant demand as people typically dine between the hours of
6:00 PM and 10:00 PM, and the fact that nightclubs generally do not experience 100%
percent occupancy until after 10:00 PM. Another factor to consider is that the applicant
has stated that the nightclub will typically operate Thursday through Sunday (or less),
with occasional other nights seasonally nights thereby reducing the number of days
during the week that parking could potentially be impacted. Therefore, staff believes that
this finding can be made for approval of the parking waiver for the two restaurants with
the business hours as proposed by the applicant and the use of the nightclub /multi use
venue after 9:00 PM only, based on the staggered hours of operation of the existing
uses on the site and the proposed uses.
3. "A parking management plan for the site has been approved by the Planning
Commission..."
A parking management plan has not been prepared for the site and surrounding
properties. However, the project has been conditioned to require that a parking
management plan be prepared, reviewed and approved by the City Traffic Engineer and
Planning Department prior to the issuance of building permits. Staff believes that this
parking management plan will assist in ensuring the available on -site parking is used in
the most efficient and effective manner possible. Additionally, the parking management
plan will assist regulating off -site parking pledged by the property owner and the
potential for the use of valet parking to other off -site locations under the same
ownership during evenings and on weekends should parking shortages occur.
4. `The Planning Commission makes the following findings: a) The parking demand
will be less than the requirement in Section 20.66.030. b) The probable long -term
occupancy of the building or structure, based on its design, will not generate
additional parking demand."
Staff has no reason to believe that the parking demand will be less than required;
however, some walk -in trade and some internal trip capture should occur. It is not likely
that these factors will reduce parking demands to meet provided parking without taking
into consideration the staggered hours of operation of the various uses. Additionally,
findings in support of "b" cannot be made.
Alcoholic Beverage Outlet Ordinance
On June 8, 1998, the City Council adopted the Alcoholic Beverage Outlets (ABO)
Ordinance (Chapter 20.89 of the Municipal Code). The purpose of the ABO Ordinance
is to preserve a healthy environment for residents and businesses by establishing a set
to
Mosun of Newport Beach
May 8, 2003
Page 10
of consistent standards for the safe operation of alcoholic beverage outlets, while
preventing alcohol - related problems. The ABO requires the Planning Commission to
consider the following factors:
1. Whether the use serves public convenience or necessity.
2. The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting
districts as compared to other areas in the City.
3. The number of alcohol licenses per capita in the reporting district
and in adjacent reporting districts as compared to the county -wide
average.
4. The numbers of alcohol - related calls for service, crimes or arrests
in the reporting district and in adjacent reporting districts.
5. The proximity of the alcoholic beverage outlet to residential
districts, day care centers, park and recreation facilities, places of
religious assembly, and schools.
In accordance with the foregoing, and in order to provide the Planning Commission with
the necessary data and analysis to make the required findings, each of the factors is
discussed as follows:
1. Public Convenience or Necessity. City Council Policy K -7 states that the public
convenience or necessity will not be served with the approval of a new, upgraded or
transferred license for a bar or nightclub within an area where the number of crimes
exceeds the Citywide average by 75% or more. The project includes bar areas within
two proposed restaurants and a nightclub. The number of reported crimes within Police
Reporting District No. 34 (RD map attached as Exhibit No. 4) exceeds the citywide
average by 35% and therefore Council Policy K -7 does not preclude the City from
making the determination that the proposed nightclub would serve the public
convenience or necessity. The sale of alcohol within a full- service restaurant and a
nightclub environment is expected by the public. Therefore, approval will serve the
public's convenience as opposed to the necessity.
2. Crime Rate. Citywide, there were 6,955 crimes reported during calendar year
2001, of which 2,852 were Part One Crimes (serious offenses). The remaining 4,103
were Part Two Crimes that include alcohol related arrests. The project site is located
within Police Reporting District (RD) No. 34. The part one crime rate for RD 34, two
adjacent RD's, City, California and National averages are shown in the following table
for comparison.
RD No.
34:
981250.00
City Average:

2925.53
1 California:
3739.70
RD No.
36:
1761.40
1 National:
4124.00
It must be noted that the crime rate is based on crimes per 100,000 people and since
RD 34 encompasses the airport area, which is 100% commercial and has a zero
population, the crime rate figure is drastically skewed. Considering the significant
1519
Mosun of Newport Beach
May 8, 2003
Page 11
daytime population of the area, the Police Department doesn't believe the area to have
a high crime rate.
During 2001, the number of Part One Crimes in RD No. 34 was 157 and the number of
Part Two Crimes was 129. Adjacent Reporting Districts are Nos. 35 and 36. RD No. 35
had 88 Part One and 57 Part Two Crimes; and RD No. 36 had 77 Part One and 124
Part Two Crimes. During this period, this reporting district experienced 35.70% more
crimes than the City average. It should be noted that RD 34 is primarily commercial and
RD's 35 and 36 are primarily residential.
3. Over Concentration. The approval of the proposed project may result in an
increase of one ABC license if the Type 47 license the applicant intends to purchase
form the Coco's restaurant is not adequate to cover the nightclub portion of the project
and ABC requires the operator to obtain a Type 48 license for Club M. There are a total
of 26 active ABC licenses within RD No. 34. Due to the non - existent residential
population in RD No. 34 any comparison to other areas based upon population would
be misleading. Using a license per RD or license per acre comparison would also be
misleading given that RD's vary in area and land use. However, considering the daytime
population, 26 ABC licenses does not appear to be high. Finally, the Police Department
has not indicated that they believe the area to be over concentrated.
4. Alcohol Related Crimes. The Police Department has provided statistics for
driving under the influence and plain drunk arrests. There were 9 driving under the
influence arrests and 6 plain drunk arrests within RD No. 34 in 2001. The percentage of
alcohol related arrests within RD No. 34 are .85 %. By comparison, RD's 35 and 36 had
15 and 14 alcohol related arrests respectively.
The sale of alcohol in the restaurants is ancillary to the restaurant use and although
both have an actual bar, and a cocktail lounge in the case of Mosun Sushi, the
establishments are not intended to operate primarily as a bar, and food service will be
offered during all hours of operation. The sale of alcohol in conjunction with the
nightclub supports its primary use as a bar /nightclub and the Police Department has
expressed concerns regarding the probable increase in alcohol related crimes
associated with that use.
5. Adjacent Uses. The site is located within a commercial area near the John
Wayne Airport. Surrounding uses are dominated by retail commercial and general
office. The only potential sensitive land use is the Radisson Hotel, which has
approximately 339 rooms. There are no residences, day care centers, schools, or park
and recreation facilities in the vicinity of the project site.
Newport Beach Police Department Concerns
The Newport Beach Police Department provided staff with a comprehensive report,
which is attached to this staff report as Exhibit No. 3. In their report, the Police
o:%
Mosun of Newport Beach

Page 12
Department cited several concerns with the proposed project that focused on the
nightclub use. These concerns included noise, occupancy, the use of private "VIP"
rooms or lounges and alcohol related crimes and disturbances. The applicant provided
a draft security plan (Exhibit No. 6), which also has been reviewed by the Police
Department. Although the Police Department believes that the proposed use may
create an increased demand for law enforcement services, a list of recommend
conditions was provided. These conditions, or slight variations thereof, have been
included in the draft Planning Commission resolution. Additionally, staff has included a
condition of approval (No. 27) requiring the applicant to obtain approval of a final
comprehensive security plan from the Police Department and implement said plan for
the life of the use permit.
Restaurant Desian and Development Standards
Chapter 20.82.040 of the Municipal Code contains development standards for
restaurants, as outlined below, to ensure that any proposed development will be
compatible with adjoining properties and streets. The development standards include
specific requirements for site requirements, building setbacks, parking and traffic
circulation, walls surrounding the restaurant site, landscaping, exterior illumination,
underground utilities, and supply and refuse storage. Section 20.82.040 D of the
Municipal Code states that any of the above mentioned development standards for
restaurants may be modified or waived if strict compliance is not necessary to achieve
the purpose or intent of the standard.

Environmental Review:
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).
Public Notice:
Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to property owners within
300 feet of the property (excluding roads and waterways) and posted at the site a
minimum of 10 days in advance of this hearing consistent with the Municipal Code.
Additionally, the item appeared upon the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at
City Hall and on the city website.
Summary:
Staff believes the location of the site in the airport area and the lack of residential uses
in the vicinity makes this a good location for the proposed project. Staff believes the
findings for the Use Permit for the two restaurants and nightclub, all with alcoholic
beverage service and the waiver of a portion of the required off - street parking can be
made. However, due to the shortage of the parking during the day staff does not
support the operation of the multi -use venue when the other businesses on site are
open. Staff cannot support the use of the nightclub area for other assembly uses
outside the proposed operating hours of 9:00 pm — 2:00 am without more evidence
supporting the availability and practical usefulness of parking.
Alternatives:
Since the project involves four separate potential operations, the Commission has
several options.
1. The Commission may accept staffs recommendation and approve the two
restaurants and nightclub based on the findings and conditions of approval
included in the draft Planning Commission Resolution (Exhibit 1). This option
does not include approval of the multi -use venue during the day.

2. The Commission may conclude that the nightclub in conjunction with the
proposed restaurants could create parking and circulation problems. In that case,
a reduced intensity alternative should be considered. Options include: limiting
hours of operation or denying the nightclub use or denying one of the two
restaurants because the off - street parking requirements cannot be met.
3. The Commission may conclude that the entire project, including the multiple use
venue, as proposed, meets the intent of the Code and approve the entire
application.
4. The Commission may continue the item and require additional parking demand
analysis to be prepared by a qualified traffic engineer and a parking management
plan be prepared and reviewed prior to taking action on the application.
5. The Commission may determine that the site is not suitable for this type or
intensity of use as proposed and deny the application.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING USE PERMIT NO.
2002 -040 FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4647 MACARTHUR
BOULEVARD. (PA2002 -193)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS,
RESOLVES AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was filed by Mosun of Newport Beach, with respect to property
located at 4547 MacArthur Boulevard, and legally described as Lot 13 Tract 5169, requesting
approval of Use Permit No. 2002-040 to allow two Full - Service, Low Turnover Eating and
Drinking Establishments, a Nightclub and Multi- Purpose Venue, the sale of alcoholic beverages
for on -site consumption pursuant to the Alcoholic Beverage Outlet Ordinance (ABO) and
approval of a modification to the required off - street parking requirements. The site is designated
Administrative, Professional and Financial by the General Plan Land Use Element and
Administrative, Professional and Financial (APF) by the Zoning Code.
S t� 2 A public hearing was held on May 8, 2003 in the City Hall Council Chambers,
3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the
aforesaid meeting was given. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered
by the Planning Commission at this meeting.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds as follows:
The location for the proposed Eating and Drinking Establishments and Nightclub requiring
this requiring this Use Permit, and the proposed conditions under which it would be
operated or maintained, is consistent with the General Plan and the purpose of the
Administrative, Professional and Financial (APF) Zoning District in which the site is located:
will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of
persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not
be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of
the City for the following reasons:
a. The location of the restaurants and nightclub is in the airport commercial area.
Surrounding land uses are dominated by retail commercial, professional office and
visitor serving uses. Restaurant and nightclub uses can be expected to be found in this
and similar locations and are complimentary to the surrounding commercial uses.
b. The project site is not located in close proximity to residential districts, day care
centers, schools, park and recreation facilities or places of religious assembly.
c. The project has been conditioned in such a manner to require strict adherence to
safety and noise regulations. The project design and operational characteristics, as
conditioned, meets the intent of the Zoning Code.

2. The on -site alcoholic beverage service requiring this requiring this Use Permit, and the
proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of persons
residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not be
detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of
the City for the following reasons:
a. The convenience of the public can be served by the sale of desired beverages in
conjunction with a full- service, sit -down restaurants and a nightclub, which are
complementary to surrounding uses in the airport area. Alcoholic beverage service is
typical and expected by the public In full -service restaurant and nightclub settings;
b. The number of alcohol licenses within the reporting district and adjacent reporting
districts is not significantly high given the nature of the land uses in the district and
when compared with County-wide data. The percentage of aloohol- related arrests in
the police- reporting district in which the project is proposed is lower than the
percentage citywide.
c. The project site is not located in close proximity to residential districts, day care
centers, schools, park and recreation facilities or places of religious assembly.
d. The safe of alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption to be operated in a building
that is designated and zoned for commercial activity. The use has been conditioned in
such a manner to minimize the impacts associated with the on -site sale of alcoholic
beverages. The plans, as conditioned, meet the design and development standards for
alcoholic sales.
3. The required findings for granting a waiver of a portion of the required off - street parking
can be made for the following reasons;
a. The hours of operation of the proposed restaurants, and nightclub uses are such as to
allow shared use of the on -site and off -site parking lots. When shared usage occurs
between a mixture of uses, parking demand is typically lower than is required. The site
and the proposed use will operate in a manner to afford a sharing of parking with other
uses (with different hours) located on the site;
b. Some walk -in trade is expected during midday when parking demand for the two
restaurants will compete with the other tenants in the shopping center.
c. The proposed use will not compete with other tenants for available parking when both
restaurants and the nightclub are open for business.
d. A parking management plan is required to be prepared and approved by the City
Traffic Engineer and Planning Department prior to the issuance of building permits.
The applicant is required to implement the recommendations included in the plan and
those required by the Traffic Engineer and Planning Department.

4. The required findings for granting a waiver of a portion of the required off -street parking
for the use of the mufti- purpose venue outside the normal operating hours of 9:00 pm thru
2:00 am cannot be made for the following reasons: .
a, Parking availability is anticipated to be insufficient when the restaurants and other
businesses on -site are operating simultaneously, especially during the morning,
afternoon and early evening hours.
b. The use of this facility causes the site to be deficient of the required off - street parking
at all hours, seven days a week.
c. Patrons attending events at the mufti - purpose venue will typically be there only for that
event and will not contribute to walk -in trade.
5. The project has been reviewed, and it qualifies for a categorical exemption pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1 (Existing Facilities). This categorical
exemption allows for the repair, maintenance and minor alternation of an existing building.
This exemption includes interior and exterior alterations.
Section 4. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Commission hereby

Ms. Temple an*#pred that the person posting the prop" posted the property
directly across tWltieet. However, the Code does not require on -site posting. It
does require that be near by. Staff determined that the posted notice was
sufficient because you %wld see the posted sign from this property and you could

likes to hear from the neighboring "rty owners. He drove to the site and did not

• The applicant is not required to adhere to the Gi poncy as that relates only
to City trees. However, If any frees are determined to belong to the City, the
applicant would have to abide by the Gi policy.
Public hearing was opened.
Chairperson Kiser noted that an e-man had been received by the Commission from
Capt. Tim Newman with an update of the crime statistics in ponce reporting district
number34.
Breff Korman, STTR Architects, representing the applicant, noted that the applicants
accept the conditions of approval, however, asked about condition number 48. He
noted that they hod proposed in the clublmultWse portion of the floor plan to be
able to have corporate events during the day. They feel they have the opportunity
to have seminars and lectures and other corporate uses during the day. We
understand staffs concern with the parking during the peak times. The applicant
would Wa to have the ability to come back and amend the operating hours for this
nightclub /muff use area If we can show that parking is provided through both or,
she and off4te agreements with the landlord.
John Saunders, landlord and properly owner, noted that to the extent that the off-
site parking is required by staff recommendation, he would put this in the form of an
easement or whatever form Is required to make sure that it stays longer than his
ownership of ttre properties.
Chairperson Kiser asked If any parking study had been done of what these uses
would require.
Mr. Saunders answered:
• That as his office is on the premises, he observes the parking lot quite a bit
during the day.
• He Is very careful with his lessees as this is his livelihood:
• He had visited this business at their previous address and looked at the
Parking requirement.
• During the day when Coco's was opened, parking was adequate.
• He has structured the lease for this new use occupancy at or less than what
Corn's was using (restaurant space).
• He feels confident there will be sufficient parking.
• There have been numerous complaints about not having a restaurant there
on site since Coco's closed.
• Abby's was allowed to have minimum lunches in the ealy'90's.
• He has been a leaseholder since 1990 and purchased the fee land from the
Irvine Company in 1992.
• He then enumerated his ownerships referring to the aerial map pertaining to
the potential parking arrangements with nearby off-site lots,

Convrasioner KW noted that there would probably be parking by patrons on those
non-owned properfes as well unless there Is some parking management plan to
prevent them from doing that.
W. Saunders noted that there is a system of easements that tie all five properties
together for access and egress. It there was a parking plan, we would work
something out. There has not been a problem in the past ten years with overflow
parking.
Public comment was closed.
Chairperson Kiser noted his concern with the project as proposed without enough
paring and the request to waive some of the parting. He suggested that a paring
study be done and a proposed off site parking agreement that ties the properties
together and a paring management plan that ties in to the findings of the paring
study for the Planning Corrunissfon to consider. Because of the nature of uses, t
would not be comfortable passing this along with just a condition that a parking
management would need to be adequate and approved by others.
fvts. Temple suggested additional language for condition 14 that would add what
would be necessary to do the off -*e panting agreements that are the only tool
available to put the City in as a player on the long term maintenance of those
agreements that must be approved by the Planting Commission. You could
accomplish this and not need to amend the use pernit further by adding to
condition 14, `These howsr may be expanded to b am. to 1 a.m. upon submNal and
approval of a panning management plan and metaled of le parldng agreements
by the A mning Corrrr 6slom' That way only the paring plan and agreements
need to come back, not the use permit. Additionally, she noted that staff ornitted a
condition that would authorise the use of valet parking, which is appropriate for a
use of this nature, so suggested an added condition to read, 'A +wit pudding is
allowed upon approval of the Public work Depar)mentI
At Commission ingulry, tuts. Temple noted that the Planning Commission must
approve off-site parting agreements. There is no way under the Code to do what
the applicant is proposing. We can structure it in a way that only the poking
agreements are subject to consideration. That would allow the applicant to go
forward with the project perhaps even get some of it under operation it they chose
and then do a parking study with the uses on site and have justifiable case in that
regard
Commissioner Sellch noted that staff has the expertise to deal with the poking
management plan. Since the parking agreement has to came back to the
Planning Commission for approval then we might as well as have the poling
management plan going back. I am In support of the project with the change to
condition number 14 and the addition of condition number 50.

At Commission inquiry, Na. Temple noted that the properties under the direct control
of the property owner tend to be quite busy already during the normal week days.
Nawever, an off -site palling agreement does not have to be just with properties
owned by this property owner. if he can find other properties that in Coto can be
looked at and find both sufficiency and function to serve the use at the proposed
hours of operation through off -site parking agreements then that would be
something that could be approved by the Planning Commisslon.
Commissioner Fucker referring to the aerial photo noted that the parking is fairly well
utifaed on all the properties. The applicant could theoretically not be able to show
where he Is going to get the parting spaces for operations during the week, but he
may just come back and say he wants the right to run different hom on Saturday
and Sunday.
Ms. Temple answered that is entirely passible. Even absent the corporate activities,
Mere could be weddings, Bar Mitzvahs. private parties, etc. to enhance the bushiness
on Saturdays and Sundays. My draft language would allow the applicant to only
come back with the parking and not have to re- address the use permit.
Discussion followed on conditions 49 and the proposed 5D. They are based on the
opening of the nYA venue /nightclub area only after 9:D0 pm. There are still parking
shortages on site various times during the day, which the applicant and property
owner are saying that they could utif¢e on space available basis and that would be
acceptable with a parking management plan. It gives the Planning Director time
ability within that context to kook at revisions to the posting management plan in
order to assure that the operation Is adequate. They could submit a parking
management plan and if offer a while we And it is not working right, we can bring M
back at staff level. If It is not working for whatever reason, then it could be brought
bock for revisions.
It was then agreed that in condition 48, wording would be, 'Prior to Issuance of a
Building Permit, the applicant shall obkda an approved parking management plan
subject to review .......
Commissioner Gifford noted that the Planning Director has the discretion to require
the preparation of a revised parking management plan and /or require a valet
parking on an off -site location. Condition 5D says the valet parking Is okay 0 there is
a valet parking pion authorized or approved by the Traffic Department, who really
approves i18
Ms. Temple answered that the Public Works Department approves the valet parking
plans. The Code requires the Planning Commission to authorizes the use of valet
parting and that is what condition 5D 4 Intended to do. Following a brief discussion,
staff will rearrange the conditions to show authorization and then implementation of
the parking requirements.
Commissoner Gifford then asked about the language on condition 49 about, M

t,m. Temple rested that staff was considering the ones that he actually owns as tie
dam not control the use of the parking without the agreements from other
associated owners.
Commissioner Tucker noted that the question is, how are those rights vested? He
says he has the right to park, but this writ go on forever. How are those rights
demonstrated? How does one have the rights to park that the City recognizes? He
may have the rights, but if he hasn't committed by way of a written agreement,
then how?
Commissioner Gifford added, or if the rights are committed by tease to lessees on
pieces of property he does own.
Following discussion It was agreed that in condition 49, the language shall be, "A%

Mallon was made by Commissioner Sellah to approve Use Permit No. 2DO2 -193
with modifications to the conditions of approval.
Public comment was opened.
Captain Tim Newman stated that the email he sent to the Commission reflects the
most current Information added to the staff report.
Mr. Brett Korman, representing the applicant, noted that to be brought back to
the Commission Is the shared parking agreements as described. Not necessarily
the parting plan. Is that correct?
Ms. Temple answered that the Commission's action tonight would:
• Approve the use permit and authorize the use. as requested on this site.
• It would allow the operation of all the uses within the hours of operation
recommended by staff in the staff report.
• It would further authorize that an expansion of the hours of the mutts use
venue /nightclub area to the applicant's requested hours upon submittal of
a parking management plan and related off4ie parking agreements, all
subject to the approval of the Planning Commission.
• The information provided In the parking management plan would provide
the facts as to the appropriateness of those agreements.
• Just the portion of the parking management plan necessary to support the
expansion of the hours needs to be brought back to the Planning
Commission.
Public comment was closed.
Commissioner Tucker asked about condition 18 and following a brief discussion it
I1

was decided that B would read, 'No background music shall be Mowed
outdoor areas.' Condition 30 should say 'nfyfrfehib'.
Public comment was opened.
Captain Newman, at Commission inquiry, explained condition 23 reference to
'VIP' moms. This condition does not address concerns of a banquet room where
a group would go for a gathering, rather the Police Department's concern Is the
creation of inner perimeters inside a business. The police can not inspect what
you might expect people to do within those rooms. For a public safety employee
they would not be able to get Into the room without going through some layers of
whatever 'vlp' controls are in place by the estabiishment. We have run into similar
problems in other locations and we want to avoid our inability to access areas. If
we can't see, we can't inspect and have no real ability to control whatever
activity might be going on.

Memorandum
To: Planning Commission
From: David Lepo, Planning Director
Date: September 4, 2009
Re: Panini Garden Bistro 4647 MacArthur Boulevard
Temporary Use - Extension of Hours SA2009 -004 (PA2009 -115)
In accordance with Section 20.60.015 (Temporary Structures and Uses) of the Newport
Beach Municipal Code, I am informing the Planning Commission of my intent to
authorize extending food service hours to 4:00 a.m. for a period not to exceed 90 days
for Panini Garden Bistro at 4647 MacArthur Boulevard. The temporary use is for food
service only; alcoholic beverage service will end at 1:00 a.m. (See attached plan with
delineated areas).
Background
Use Permit No. UP2002 -040 was approved by the Planning Commission in 2003 for the
operation of two full service restaurants and a nightclub /multiple use assembly venue
with dancing and live entertainment. On August 18, 2005, the Planning Commission
amended Condition No. 12 to temporarily expand the hours of operation for Panini from
7:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. daily until August 2006 when the hours of operation were to
revert back to 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. daily, unless the extended hours proved not to be
detrimental, in which case the Planning Director was authorized to permanently change
the hours of operation. The Planning Director extended the trial period for an additional
one year but the applicant could not hire enough staff for the extended hours of
operation and the trial period expired on October 5, 2007.
Rationale for Approval
The Planning Director agreed to the proposed temporary use provided that the applicant
submit an application for an amendment to the Use Permit. The applicant has requested
Planning Commission approval of Use Permit No. UP2002 -040 A (PA2009 -115), to
permanently restore the expanded hours of operation for Panini Garden Bistro from
7:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. in addition to a request for the addition of as -built restrooms to

c�a

the club area (Red Night Club), and live entertainment for traditional and ethnic music,
including a belly dancer for Panini Garden Bistro.
Staff anticipates a hearing date to review the proposed amendment will be scheduled
within the next 90 days.

Business Name: Ten restaurant Group
Caffee Panini/Ten Asian Bistro/ Red Night Club
Re: Business plan for after hours Panini and Ten Asian Bistro
From: Toufie Sarwan General operations manager
This business plan is designed to clarify how the process will shift from regular hours of
operations to after hours operation, the entry and exit and of the location, menu, security
and number of people expected to dine.
Ten Asian Bistro:
Ten Asian Bistro offers a truly dynamic dining experience. Upon arriving you will
experience a beautiful grand waterfall with fibulas lighting and once inside a 16 -foot
Buddha greets you, overlooking the beautiful main dining area with tall columns and a
lighting show of changing colors of the dining room walls.
Hours of operations:
Ten is currently open from 5:00 pm to 10:00pm Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and
5:OOpm to 11:O0pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday closed on Sunday. We are looking tc
expand our hours of operations from 11:00pm to 4:OOam. Currently we can remain open
till 1:OOam
Reason for late hours:
Due to the severe decrease in business we've experienced in the past couple of years, we
are looking for creative ways to increase our sales and our bottom line. Ten currently
employees some of the best Sushi chefs in orange county and has grown to be known for
the freshest and most exotic selection of fish and sushi rolls, accompanied by an Ultra
Lounge of eclectic fusion of Asian and American setting with a sophisticated element of
dining experience.
In doing our research in the immediate area, we found a need for after hours sushi bar
that serves high quality food to patrons from local hotels surrounding our restaurant as
well as our own night club and the surrounding night clubs in the area.
Menu:
Ten offers a vast range of menu items, beginning with our award winning Pacific rim
masterpieces of Chinese, Mandarin and Thai dishes, as well as our famous and award
winning Sushi and Sake Bar that continues to pull clients from Orange as well as
surrounding counties and travelers from around the globe.
hM
After hours of operations elan:
After our normal operations, Ten will stop serving hot food from the kitchen menu and
focus only on sushi. Our front doors at Ten will remain open and our sliding door
between red and Ten will open for the club patrons to enter should they choose to dine in.
During this time, 2 security personals will be securing the area, one at the front door of
ten and another walks the parking lot maintaining full security of the parking lot. Alcohol
service will stop at 2:00 am Exit will be available through the front entry door of Ten
and or Panini which shares the same bathroom location and will be open the same late
hours of operations.
Panini Garden Bistro:
Panini Garden Bistro has been serving the local crowds and visitors to the area for years
now. Panini offers a Mediterranean setting and 2 patios with beautiful rock formation
waterfalls and a unique menu.
Hours of Operations:
Panini's hours of operations are 7:00 am to 1:00 am Monday — Saturday closed on
Sunday. Panini has been granted a temporary use permit to operate until 4:00 am and
looks forward to permanent late hours.
Reason for late hours:
Currently many club patrons seeking dining facilities in the area including
surrounding cities do not have many options after hours. Offering an on location
dining option will minimize the challenges of having club patrons driving to other
locations immediately after the club closure. Club patrons drive through the city to
the nearest open restaurant such as IHOP located nearby on 18542 Macarthur Blvd,
Irvine, which is open 24 hours.
Better service to our customers by offering the option to dine in the same facility.
Offering the dining option to the club patrons will minimize the traffic congestions
resulting from the club closure.
The location of the restaurants and night club is in the airport commercial area.
Surrounding land uses are dominated by retail commercial, professional office and
visitor serving uses. Restaurant and night club uses can be expected to be found in
this and similar locations and are complimentary to the surrounding commercial uses.
All-
Currently we are advertising in the airport arrival area offering a full service
restaurants and entertainment facility in one location.
Menu:
Parini offers an eclectic Mediterranean menu. From Panini pasta and pizza to Greek
and Lebanese food such as Hummus, Tabouli Salad and flame broiled Kabobs.
Late hours menu will include a variety of appetizers, Kabob's and soft drinks,
Please see attached menu.
After hours operations Ulan:
Panini has been currently adopting the following operations plan.
Panini keeps its door open to walk in and club goers a like, club patrons from its own
red night club are encouraged to walk to the front of Panini entrance and take a food
break before leaving the parking lot, also patrons from other club locations have
visiting the restaurant after hours. We have 2 security staff, one at the front door of
Panini and another constantly walking the parking lot area to break up loitering or any
kind of trouble that may arise.
Alcohol at Panini seizes at 1:00 am no exception!
In closing, TEN restaurant group including Panini and Red night club has been very
responsible to the city and its community. The owner's number one priority at the
establishment is the safety of its patrons; therefore we will follow any and all
requirements asked of us by the city.
Should you have any further questions or explanation please feel free to contact me
@ (714) 423 -8333 or I can be reached by email @ tsarwan e,email.com
Sincerely;
Toufie Sarwan

Police Report

City of Newport Beach
Police Department
Memorandum
October 15, 2009
TO: Melinda Whelan, Associate Planner
FROM: Detective Bryan Moore
SUBJECT: Panini and Ten, 4647 MacArthur Blvd., Amendment to UP2002 -040
(PA2009 -115).
At your request, the Police Department has reviewed the project application for
Panini and Ten, located at 4647 MacArthur Blvd., Newport Beach. Per the
Project Description submitted by Mopan Investments, the applicant requests to
extend the hours of food service for two full service restaurants (Panini Garden
Bistro and Ten Asian Bistro) until 4:00 a.m. Additionally, the amendment
includes the request for the addition of as -built male and female restroom
facilities within the nightclub area (RED).
The applicant currently has a Type 47 (General — Eating Place) license with the
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
I have included a report by Crime Analyst Paul Salenko that provides detailed
statistical information related to calls for service in and around the applicant's
place of business. This report indicates that this new location is within an area
where the number of crimes is at least 75% higher than the average of all
reporting districts in the City as outlined in the City Council "K -7" policy.
Additionally, this location is within an RD that is over the Orange County per
capita of ABC licenses.
Applicant History
The Use Permit for 4647 MacArthur was approved by the Planning Commission
in 2003 for the operation of two full service restaurants and a nightclub /multiple
use assembly venue with dancing and live entertainment.
On August 18, 2005, the Planning Commission amended Condition No. 12 to
temporarily expand the hours of operation for Panini from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m.
until August 2006. Unless the expansion proved to be detrimental to the
community, the Planning Director was authorized to permanently change the
hours of operation.
V)4
Panini and Ten
Amendment to UP2002 -040
In August of 2006, the Planning Director extended the trial period for an
additional one year since the restaurant only operated with the expanded hours
for a few months due to personnel scheduling problems. It should be noted that
the Police Department also expressed concern that using 3 months of a 12
month trial period was not a valid example of the operation.
On July 24, 2007, the Police Department submitted a memorandum to the
Planning Department objecting to permanently changing the hours of operation,
or for another one year extension, since the restaurant had elected not to remain
open until 4:00 a.m. The applicant explained that the restaurant had not
operated under the extended hours due to a change in management and that the
new management was not aware of the condition.
On July 27, 2007 the Planning Department forwarded the resolution and
conditions of approval for the expanded hours to the new management and gave
management until August 18, 2007 for a request for an extension; however, they
were unable to establish the proper staffing to meet the timeline and the trial
period expired on October 5, 2007.
In June of 2009, the Planning Department was made aware that the restaurant
had expanded the nightclub (RED) by adding unauthorized restrooms to the VIP
area. It was determined that this addition was a major change in operational
characteristics and required an amendment to the existing use permit..
On September 4, 2009, the Planning Director (per the applicant's request) issued
another temporary expansion of the food service hours to 4:00 a.m. (for a period
not to exceed 90 days) provided that the applicant submit an application for an
amendment to their Use Permit to permanently restore the expanded hours. In
addition, the applicant was to submit a request for the addition of the as -built
restrooms to the nightclub area.

Panini and Ten
Amendment to UP2002 -040
Recommendations
It should be noted that the Police Department expressed some concerns about
Panini's extended hours due to its proximity to the nightclub (RED). The Police
Department is already required to spend a considerable amount of time policing
this location after the nightclub closes (2 a.m.) and the concern was that the
same problems could potentially carry over to Panini for an additional two hours.
With this in mind, the Planning Department placed conditions on the Temporary
Use limiting the hours of the alcoholic beverage sales/service to 1 a.m.
Additionally, patron access to Panini was limited exclusively to the front entrance
between the hours of 1 a.m. 4 a.m. This was due to the fact that all three
locations (RED, Ten and Panini) are interconnect and accessible to one another
from the interior.
The Police Department has had the opportunity to monitor Panini between 2 a.m.
and 4 a.m., during the brief trial period. At this time, there does not appear to be
any major issues with level of compliance as it relates to the extended hours.
Therefore, with the proper conditions in place, the Police Department does not
object to permanently extending the hours of operation for Panini until 4 a.m.
The Police Department does, however, object to extending the hours of operation
for Ten until 4 a.m. This would further increase the potential for police related
problems after the nightclub closes by accommodating twice as many patrons.
Additionally, because all three locations are interconnected there is a concern
that the distinction between the nightclub and restaurants would be compromised
between the hours of 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. This would also create a significant
challenge for law enforcement in terms monitoring ABC compliance and
enforcement.
For the above listed reasons, we are projecting that the applicant's proposal (for
the extended hours of Ten) will result in an increase in police related activities
and calls for police services. The resources required to address these events
would detract from our ability to provide police services to the other areas of the
community and therefore, we cannot recommend this portion of the application
for approval.
Should this application be approved, the Police Department recommends the
following conditions:
Slans and Displays
Any signs or displays would need to conform to City requirements. There shall
be no exterior advertising or signs of any kind or type, including advertising
directed to the exterior from within, promoting or indicating the availability of
alcoholic beverages. Interior displays of alcoholic beverages or signs, which are
clearly visible to the exterior, shall constitute a violation of this condition.

Panini and Ten
Amendment to UP2002 -040
Hours of Operation
The proposed hours for Panini are 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m.
The recommended hours of operation for Ten are 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. daily.
The recommended hours of operation for RED are 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. daily.
Security
In conjunction with the expansion of the closing hour for Panini from 1:00 am to
4:00 am, additional security shall be provided within the restaurant and within the
parking lot to prevent any potential security problems. The additional security
shall operate in accordance with the comprehensive security plan approved by
the Newport Beach Police Department for the site.
Employee Training
Require all owners, managers, and employees selling alcoholic beverages to
undergo and successfully complete a certified training program in responsible
methods and skills for serving and selling alcoholic beverages.
Additional Comments
For the purposes of this application, staff may also want to consider establishing
conditions that would require a Special Event Permit. A Special Event Permit
may be required for any event or promotional activity outside the normal
operational characteristics of the proposed operation. For example, events likely
to attract large crowds, events for which an admission fee is charged, events that
include any form of contract promoters, or any other activities as specified in the
Newport Beach Municipal Code to require such permits.
Other Recommended Conditions
In addition, the Police Department has
would be appropriate for the Conditional
determined that the following conditions
Use Permit for the business:
Approval does not permit Ten and Panini to operate as a bar, tavern, cocktail
lounge or nightclub as defined by the Municipal Code, unless the Planning
Commission first approves a Use Permit.
2. Alcoholic beverage sales /service at Ten and Panini shall end at 1:00 a.m.
3. Patron access to Ten and Panini between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 4:00
a.m. shall be limited exclusively to the front entrance which is identified with

and 4:00 a.m. shall be restricted to seating and tables in the northerly corner
of the building and the adjacent outdoor patio areas.
4. No alcoholic beverages shall be consumed on any property adjacent to the
licensed premises under the control of the licensee.
