PROJECT SUMMARY
A minor use permit application to allow a Type 47 (On Sale General) Alcoholic
Beverage Control (ABC) license for Fig & Olive, a food service, eating and drinking
establishment with late hours (after 11:00 p.m.), live entertainment, and an outdoor
dining patio. The restaurant is under construction and will be located in Fashion Island
at the site formerly occupied by Coco's, which was operated as a restaurant with
alcohol beverage sales.
Once constructed, the gross floor area of the establishment will be 9,619 square feet,
the interior net public area will be 5,185 square feet, and the net public area of the
outdoor dining patio will be 1,842 square feet. The establishment will provide 265
interior seats and 102 seats on the patio. The hours of operation will be from 9:00 a.m.
to 2:00 a.m., daily. Due to the late hours of operation (after 11:00 p.m.), approval of an
operator's license by the Newport Beach Police Department will be required.
Live entertainment in the form of a disc jockey between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 2:00
a.m., daily, is proposed. Live entertainment in the form of live music is also requested
during brunch hours between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. The

until 1:00 a.m., daily, with no other restrictions regarding the hours or type of live
entertainment.
RECOMMENDATION
1) Conduct a public hearing; and
2) Adopt Draft Zoning Administrator Resolution No. _ approving Minor Use Permit No.
UP2012 -029 (Attachment No. ZA 1).
DISCUSSION
• The subject property is located within the Fashion Island Shopping Center and is
bounded by Newport Center Drive to the south. The area in the vicinity of the project
site is developed with commercial retail uses within Fashion Island. Office uses are
located across Newport Center Drive to the south.
• Fig & Olive will occupy a restaurant pad at the southern portion of Fashion Island.
The nearest access to the restaurant is obtained from Newport Center Drive through
a shopping center drive aisle to the southwest of the pad site. The area of the
subject property is 0.99 acres. The property is developed with one restaurant pad
building oriented away from Newport Center Drive toward the Fashion Island
Shopping Center. A second restaurant pad (Red -O) is currently under construction
for the pad building located on the adjacent property to the west
• The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the project site as Regional
Commercial (CR), which is intended to provide retail, entertainment, service, and
supporting uses that serve local and regional residents. The proposed restaurant
with alcoholic beverage sales and live entertainment is a use that serves local and
regional residents and is consistent with this land use designation.
• The project is located in the Fashion Island Sub -Area of the PC -56 (North Newport
Center Planned Community) Zoning District. Fashion Island is intended to be a
regional retail and entertainment center and a day /evening destination with a wide
variety of uses that will serve visitors, residents, and employees of the area. The
restaurant with alcoholic beverage sales and live entertainment is a commercial use
that is intended to serve visitors, residents, and employees in the broader regional
area and, therefore, is consistent with the purposes of the North Newport Center
Planned Community District for the Fashion Island Sub -Area.
• Eating and Drinking Establishments are permitted uses within the Fashion Island
subarea of the North Newport Center Planned Community Zoning District. Pursuant
to the Planned Community Text, live entertainment is included in the definition of
"Commercial Recreation and Entertainment" which is a permitted use within the
TmpIt:07 -31 -12

Fig & Olive Minor Use Permit
February 28. 2013
Page 3
Fashion Island subarea. Also pursuant to the Planned Community Text, the on-
premise sale of alcohol in conjunction with an eating and drinking establishment
requires a minor use permit.
• Staff believes the project is compatible with existing and allowed uses within Fashion
Island. Other uses in the center include a variety of restaurants and retail uses within
the Fashion Island Shopping Center. The Fashion Island Sub -Area is a regional
commercial shopping center that is intended to provide retail, entertainment, service,
and supporting uses that serve local and regional residents. The Police Department
is familiar with the security plan in place for the overall center and conditions of
approval are proposed to adequately manage the late hour component of the
proposed restaurant.
• The subject property is located within Reporting District No. 39 (RD39) and
generally, crime statistics are higher in this district than adjacent districts due to the
higher concentration of commercial uses within North Newport Center. The Newport
Beach Police Department is aware of this and has recommended approval of the
restaurant. The alcohol related statistics for RD39 are incorporated into the factors
for consideration in the draft resolution prior to the Zoning Administrator hearing
(Attachment No. ZA 1). A map of the Reporting Districts, alcohol related statistics,
and a memorandum, which includes the recommendation of the Police Department,
are attached as Attachment Nos. ZA 3, 4, and 5, respectively.
• The proposed hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., daily. Due to the late
hours of operation (after 11:00 p.m.), approval of an operator's license by the
Newport Beach Police Department will be required should this minor use permit be
approved. An operator license required pursuant to NBMC Chapter 5.25 may be
subject to additional and /or more restrictive conditions to regulate and control
potential nuisances associated with the operation of the restaurant.
• While the proposed restaurant is not considered a bar, tavern, or lounge by definition
(a Type 47 (On Sale General) alcohol license is requested as part of a bona fide
eating establishment), Staff recognizes that the proposed floor plan, hours of
operation, and typical operation of the Fig & Olive Restaurant and many restaurants
often contribute to a bar /lounge style component following typical dinner hours in the
evening. While the proposed hours of operation for Fig & Olive are later than the
hours for other restaurants within Fashion Island, Staff and the Police Department
have reviewed the minor use permit request with this component in mind and are
recommending approval at the project location.
• Occasional live entertainment consisting of live music for brunch patrons and a disc
jockey during later evening hours is also proposed. Staff recommends limiting the
hours of operation for live entertainment during the evening hours to end at 1:00 a.m.,
daily, to encourage patrons to leave in compliance with the 2:00 a.m. closing hour.

Given that live entertainment is allowed by right within the North Newport Center
Planned Community, Staff recommends that live entertainment not be limited by
type. Additionally, Chapter 5.28 (Live Entertainment Establishments) of the Newport
Beach Municipal Code, the live entertainment permit, and the operator license will all
provide tools to address any issues that may occur. The applicant will be required to
obtain a live entertainment permit from the Revenue Division prior to the issuance of
building permits.
• The proposed project complies with the development standards for on -sale alcohol
sales and outdoor dining provided in Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the
Zoning Code. The project has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure that the
purpose and intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the Zoning Code is
maintained and that a healthy environment for residents and businesses is preserved.
The service of alcohol is intended for the convenience of customers dining at the
restaurant. Operational conditions of approval recommended by the Police
Department relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages will help ensure compatibility
with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol related impacts.
• The proposed outdoor dining patio and restaurant are within the cumulative floor
area limits allocated for Fashion Island. Fair share and San Joaquin Transportation
corridor fees will be assessed prior to the issuance of tenant improvement building
permits for additional gross floor area beyond the floor area identified for the
construction of the restaurant shell building.
• The Fashion Island shopping center provides required parking within the surface
parking lots and parking structures on site.
• If approved, Minor Use Permit No. UP2012 -029 (PA2012 -163) will supersede Use
Permit No. UP1860 for Coco's Restaurant, which has been demolished.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project qualifies for Class 1 (Existing Facilities) categorical exemption, Section
15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act. The proposed project involves the
addition of alcoholic beverages at a recently constructed restaurant with live
entertainment and an outdoor dining patio. Therefore, both the interior use and outdoor
dining patio qualify for a categorical exemption under Class 1.

property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights -of-

SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1 (Existing Facilities).
2. The proposed project involves the addition of alcoholic beverages at a recently
constructed restaurant with live entertainment and an outdoor dining patio. Therefore,
both the interior use and outdoor dining patio qualify for a categorical exemption under
Class 1.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code,
the following findings and facts in support of the findings for a use permit are set forth:
Finding
A. The use is consistent with the purpose and intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales of
the Zoning Code.
Facts in Support of Finding
In finding that the proposed use is consistent with Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the
Zoning Code, the following criteria must be considered:
i. The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as compared to
other areas in the City.
1. The proposed establishment is located within Reporting District 39, wherein the
number of crimes is higher than adjacent Reporting Districts and the City. RD 43, 44,
and 47 have a lower number of crimes as they are primarily residential with few
commercial uses. Due to the high concentration of commercial land uses in Fashion
Island, the crime rate and shoplifting rate is greater than adjacent residential Reporting
Districts; however, the Newport Beach Police Department does not consider the
number significant given the type of development within this Reporting District.
ii. The numbers of alcohol - related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting
district and in adjacent reporting districts.
1. Due to the high concentration of commercial land uses, the calls for service and
number of arrests are greater than adjacent residential Reporting Districts. The Police
Department does not consider the rate high because of the concentration of
restaurants and commercial uses within Fashion Island and the surrounding North
Newport Center. The Newport Beach Police Department has not previously reported
any calls for service to the subject property since the proposed use is part of a new
development project.

iii. The proximity of the establishment to residential zoning districts, day care centers,
hospitals, park and recreation facilities, places of worship, schools, other similar uses,
and any uses that attract minors.
1. The shopping center does not abut sensitive land uses and is separated from other uses
by parking lots, roadways and other commercial uses. Residential uses are permitted in
the northern sections of the PC -56 (North Newport Center Planned Community) Zoning
District within Blocks 500, 600, 800, and San Joaquin Plaza. The proposed use is not
located in close proximity to these residential districts, day care centers, park and
recreation facilities, places of religious assembly, and schools.
iv. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off -site or
on -site consumption.
1. Muldoon's Irish Pub is located at 202 Newport Center Drive to the south of the project
site at the intersection of Anacapa and Newport Center Drive. Muldoon's is authorized
to operate until 2:00 a.m. and provides live entertainment, dancing, and Type 47 (On
Sale General) and Type 68 (Portable Bar) alcohol licenses. Off -sale alcohol sales are
located in the vicinity at Whole Foods, at 461 Newport Center Drive, within Fashion
Island. Additionally, there are many comparable restaurant establishments with the
Fashion Island Shopping Center. These include other pad restaurant tenants such as
Roy's Hawaiian Fusion, Flemming's Steak House, and True Food Kitchen. The Type
47 (On Sale, General) alcohol license requested is the same as those obtained for
said establishments and there is no evidence suggesting these uses have been
detrimental to the neighborhood. However, Fig & Olive is the only location with late
hours after 12:00 midnight within Fashion Island. While the proposed hours of
operation are later, an adequate security plan per the Police Department is in place for
the Fashion Island Shopping Center and conditions of approval are proposed to
adequately manage the late hour component of the proposed restaurant.
v. Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable
conditions
1. The project has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure that the purpose and intent of
Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the Zoning Code is maintained and that a healthy
environment for residents and businesses is preserved. The service of alcohol is
intended for the convenience of customers dining at the restaurant. Operational
conditions of approval relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages will help ensure
compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol related impacts.
2. The restaurant use will be located within a shopping center designated to include such
development. The Regional Commercial (CR) designation of the General Plan allows
eating and drinking establishments. The service and consumption of alcohol at the
proposed restaurant, pursuant to a Type 47 Alcoholic Beverage Control license under
the conditions imposed by this Minor Use Permit that it will be operated and
Tmplt: 05/1612012
11
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2012 -0 ##
Paqe 4 of 12
maintained, complies with the provisions of the Zoning Code and the North Newport
Center Planned Community District Regulations.
3. The restaurant pad is adjacent to a highly - traveled commercial area that is occupied
by a mixture of office and retail uses. It is anticipated that the establishment will serve
visitors and employees of the nearby businesses who stop and eat within the North
Newport Center area. Adding alcohol service to the menu will compliment the food
service and provide for the convenience of customers.
4. The proposed restaurant is located within a new restaurant pad building currently under
construction and is designed as a restaurant that includes on -site service and
consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Minor Use Permit
In accordance with Section 20.52.020.E (Findings and Decision) of the Newport Beach
Municipal Code, the following findings and facts in support of the findings for a use permit are
set forth:
Finding
B. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan:
Facts in Support of Finding
1. The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the project site as Regional
Commercial (CR), which is intended to provide retail, entertainment, service, and
supporting uses that serve local and regional residents. The proposed restaurant with
alcoholic beverage sales and live entertainment is a use that serves local and regional
residents and is consistent with land uses in the CR land use designation.
Finding
C. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other
applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code:
Facts in Support of Finding
1. The project is located in the Fashion Island Sub -Area of the PC -56 (North Newport
Center Planned Community) Zoning District District. Fashion Island is intended to be a
regional retail and entertainment center and a day /evening destination with a wide
variety of uses that will serve visitors, residents, and employees of the area. The
restaurant with alcoholic beverage sales and live entertainment is a commercial use
that serves visitors, residents, and employees in the area and, therefore, is consistent
with the purposes of the North Newport Center Planned Community District for the
Fashion Island Sub -Area.

2. Eating and Drinking Establishments are permitted uses within the Fashion Island Sub -
Area of the North Newport Center Planned Community Zoning District. Pursuant to the
Planned Community Text, live entertainment falls beneath the definition of

1. The Fashion Island Sub -Area permits a range of retail, dining, and commercial
entertainment uses within the PC -56 (North Newport Center Planned Community)
Zoning District. While the proposed establishment provides a component of late night
dining services similar to a lounge, the use is compatible with surrounding permitted
commercial uses in the vicinity and there are no sensitive land uses located nearby.
2. The proposed hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., daily. While the proposed
hours of operation for Fig & Olive are later than the hours for other restaurants within
Fashion Island, an adequate security plan is in place for the Fashion Island Shopping
Center and conditions of approval are proposed to adequately manage the late hour
component of the proposed restaurant.
3. Due to the late hours of operation (after 11:00 p.m.), approval of an Operator's License
by the Newport Beach Police Department will be required. A copy of the Fashion
Island Security Plan will be provided as part of the operator license process for the
proposed business. An operator license required pursuant to NBMC Chapter 5.25 may
be subject to additional and /or more restrictive conditions to regulate and control
potential nuisances associated with the operation of the restaurant. The operator
license will help ensure compatibility of the proposed business with the surrounding
uses in the vicinity.
4. Live entertainment in the form of live music is requested during brunch hours between
9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. The recommended hours of operation
for live entertainment during the evening hours are until 1:00 a.m., daily, to encourage
patrons to leave in compliance with the 2:00 a.m. closing hour.
5. The on -site consumption of alcoholic beverages will be incidental to the restaurant use.
The quarterly gross sales of alcoholic beverages shall not exceed the gross sales of food

during the same period, per the conditions of approval. Alcoholic beverage service will
be under the supervision of LEAD - trained employees.

characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical)
access and public services and utilities:
Facts in Support of Finding
1. The Fashion Island shopping center provides adequate parking and circulation within
the surface parking lots and parking structures on site.
2. This site has been reviewed by the Fire Department to ensure adequate public and
emergency vehicle access is provided. Utilities are provided with all applicable
requirements.
3. The site has historically been developed and used as a restaurant location with alcohol
service and the new building under construction is intended for the same use. The tenant
space is designed and developed for an eating and drinking establishment.
4. Improvements to the project site will comply with all Building, Public Works, and Fire
Codes. All ordinances of the City and all conditions of approval will be complied with.
Finding
F. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the harmonious
and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard
to the public convenience, health, interest, a safety, or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
Facts in Support of Finding
1. The project has been reviewed and includes conditions of approval to ensure that
potential conflicts with the surrounding land uses are minimized to the greatest extent
possible. The operator is required to take reasonable steps to discourage and correct
objectionable conditions that constitute a nuisance in parking areas, sidewalks and areas
surrounding the subject property and adjacent properties during business hours, if
directly related to the patrons of the establishment.
2. The food service, eating and drinking establishment with alcohol service will serve
visitors and the surrounding business community. The proposed establishment will

TO: Makana Nova, Assistant Planner
FROM: Detective Brian Haas

At your request, the Police Department has reviewed the project application for "Fig
and Olive" restaurant, located at 151 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach. Per
the project description, the applicant is requesting a minor use permit to allow the
establishment of a Type 47 (On -Sale General for Bona Fide Public Eating Place)
ABC license for the planned "Fig and Olive" restaurant. "Fig And Olive" will be
located at the site formerly occupied by "Coco's ", which was operated as a
restaurant with alcoholic beverage sales. The restaurant will be 8,474 square feet
with a 2,656 square foot outdoor patio area. The proposed hours of operation will be
from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., Sunday through Saturday. Due to the late hours of
operation (after 11:00 p.m.), approval of an Operator License by the Newport Beach
Police Department is required.
The applicant is also proposing live entertainment which would include a DJ (Sunday
through Saturday, 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.) and live music (Saturday and Sunday,
11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during brunch).
The applicant will apply for a Type 47 (On -Sale General for Bona Fide Public Eating
Place) license with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. This license
includes beer, wine and distilled spirits for consumption on the licensed premises.
The license will be conditioned appropriately to protect the health, safety and welfare
of the community.
I have included a report by Crime Analyst Caroline Staub 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 158% above the City wide reporting district average.

Applicant History
Fig and Olive currently operates restaurants in New York and West Hollywood. Fig
and Olive recently partnered with the Irvine Company to open an exclusive Orange
County location in the Fashion Island District in Newport Beach.
Fig and Olive will offer a menu of refined elegance with classic flavors and the
highest quality of ingredients inspired by the Riviera and coastal regions of the
Mediterranean. Fig and Olive will cater to the same upscale, discerning customer
base that frequent the current businesses within Fashion Island.
Recommendations
The Police Department has no objection to the operation as described by the
applicant. With the below listed conditions in place, the Police Department does not
feel that the operation will have a negative impact on the community and police
services.
Signs 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.
Hours of Operation
The proposed hours of operation for the restaurant are from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.,
Sunday through Saturday. The City may want to consider that the proposed hours of
operation are inconsistent with similar establishments within Fashion Island.
Restaurants such as Yard House and Flemings Steakhouse are open no later than
midnight on Friday and Saturday nights. The Fig and Olive location in West
Hollywood location is only open until 1:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
Security
The Police Department has no recommendations. This location lies within Fashion
Island, which currently has security operations in place.
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
2
so
Fig and Olive
UP2012 -029
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 determined that the following conditions
would be appropriate for the Conditional Use Permit for the business:

Planning Commission first approves a use permit.

media broadcasts, including recordings to be broadcasted at a later time,
which include the service of alcoholic beverages, without first obtaining an

obtaining a permit through the City of Newport Beach.
