A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. UP2013 -016 FOR THE EXPANSION OF AN
EXISTING NONCONFORMING BAR ESTABLISHMENT AND
REDUCTION OF OFF - STREET PARKING LOCATED AT 121 MC
FADDEN PLACE (PA2013 -153)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by Mario Marovic, with respect to property located at 121 Mc
Fadden Place, and legally described as Lots 15 and 16 in Block 21 of Newport Beach,
County of Orange, State of California, as per Map recorded in Book 3, Page 26 of
Miscellaneous Maps, in the office of the County Recorder of said County requesting
approval of a conditional use permit.
2. The applicant proposes a conditional use permit to remodel and expand an existing
nonconforming bar into the abutting liquor store tenant space. The proposed
expansion will include an interior dining area, a kitchen, restroom facilities, and an
outdoor patio area. The proposed hours of operation are from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.
The project requires a waiver of required parking since no parking exists on site to
serve the use.
3. The subject property is located within the Mixed -Use Water Related (MU -W2) Zoning
District and the General Plan Land Use Element category is Mixed -Use Water Related
(MU -W2).
4. The subject property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan
category is Mixed -Use Water Related (MU -W).
5. A public hearing was held on March 20, 2014, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 100
Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of
the meeting was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning
Commission at this meeting.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYACT DETERMINATION.
1. This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines under Class 1 (Existing
Facilities).
2. The Class 1 exemption includes the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting,
leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities,
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1938

mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion
of use. The proposed project is limited to interior improvements to convert a retail
sales use to an eating and drinking establishment and involves no expansion in floor
area. Further, there will be no significant traffic impacts associated with the change of
use as the Average Daily Trips (ADT) generation for a liquor store /convenience market
is greater than that of the proposed project.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS
In accordance with Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales), the Planning Commission must make
the following finding for approval of a new alcoholic beverage license:
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:
A -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. Operational conditions of
approval recommended by the Police Department relative to the sale of alcoholic
beverages, including an Operator License, will ensure compatibility with the
surrounding uses and minimize alcohol related impacts.
A -2. The subject property is located in an area with a variety of land uses including
commercial, retail, residential, and coastal resources. The operational characteristics
have been conditioned to maintain the compatibility of the proposed use with
surrounding land uses.
In accordance with Section 20.52.020.E (Use Permit, Required Findings) of the Newport
Beach Municipal Code, the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set
forth:
Finding:
B. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of Finding:
B -1. The General Plan land use designation for this site is MU -W2 (Mixed -Use Water
Related). The MU -W2 designation applies to waterfront properties in which marine -
related uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor - serving commercial,
and residential dwelling units on the upper floors. The expanded eating and drinking
establishment, which is the primary occupant of the subject property is consistent with
this land use designation. Eating and drinking establishment uses can be expected to
Tmplt: 03/08/11
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1938
Paqe 3 of 13
be found in this area and similar locations and are complementary to the surrounding
commercial and residential uses.
B -2. Inasmuch as the proposed application will not result in an increase in the floor area ratio,
the project is consistent with the Land Use Element development limitations.
B -3. The proposed expansion is consistent with General Plan Land Use Policy LU6.8.2
(Component Districts) which emphasizes that McFadden Square should be utilized as
one of the primary activity centers within the City. Adding food service to the existing
eating and drinking establishment will diversify the use and provide an additional visitor -
and local- serving convenience.
B -4. Eating and drinking establishments are common in the vicinity along the Balboa
Peninsula and are frequented by visitors and residents. The establishment is
compatible with the land uses permitted within the surrounding neighborhood. The
expanded establishment will improve and revitalize the existing building and the
surrounding neighborhood.
B -5. The subject property is not part of a specific plan area.
Finding:
C. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other
applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and the Municipal Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
C -1. The site is located in the MU -W2 (Mixed -Use Water Related) Zoning District. The MU-
W2 applies to waterfront properties in which marine - related uses may be intermixed
with general commercial, visitor - serving commercial and residential dwelling units on
the upper floors. Although a bar is not listed as a permitted or a conditionally
permitted use within this district, the legal nonconforming use can be expanded
subject to a conditional use permit pursuant to Zoning Code Section 20.38.050
(Nonconforming Uses).
C -2. A bar has been operating at the subject property since the early 1900s. The proposed
expansion will diversify the use by adding a kitchen, additional interior dining areas,
and an outdoor patio area.
C -3. The subject property does not provide on -site parking, but the proposed expansion is
not anticipated to change the parking demand significantly. The McFadden Square
area is adequately served by the two adjacent municipal lots throughout most of the
year and the close proximity to multiple commercial uses and coastal resources will
result in shared trips to the project site area.
Tmplt 03/08/11
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1938
Finding:
D. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with
the allowed uses in the vicinity.
Facts in Support of Finding:
D -1. The operation of the eating and drinking establishment will be restricted to the hours
between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m., daily. The closing hour is compatible with other late
night eating and drinking establishments in the area. The Police Department has
reviewed the proposed expansion and is not concerned with the later closing hour.
D -2. An eating and drinking establishment has been operated in this location without the
benefit of a conditional use permit since the early 1900s.
D -3. The floor plan provides a new interior dining area with improved restroom facilities, a
kitchen area, and an outdoor patio area. Live entertainment and dancing are not
proposed. The expanded area was previously occupied by a retail liquor store.
D -4. The project includes conditions of approval to ensure that potential conflicts are
minimized to the greatest extent possible. Although the eating and drinking
establishment is located approximately 10 feet from residential units across the alley to
the northwest, the building is oriented toward Newport and West Balboa Boulevards
away from the nearby mixed -use structures and the outdoor patio area will be
contained by the hotel roof deck above and a 6- foot -1 -inch tall glass barrier. Activity
from the establishment will be buffered from the residential uses across Newport and
West Balboa Boulevards. The applicant is also required to control trash and litter around
the subject property.
D -5. The operational conditions of approval recommended by the Police Department
relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages, including an Operator License, will help
ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol related impacts.
The project has been conditioned to ensure the welfare of the surrounding community.
D -6. The applicant is required to install a grease interceptor, provide a wash -out area that
drains to the sewer line, obtain Health Department approval prior to opening for business,
and comply with the California Building Code to ensure the safety and welfare of
customers and employees within the establishment.
D -7. The subject property is located in a relatively dense area with multiple uses within a
short distance of each other. The McFadden Square area is conducive to a significant
amount of walk -in patrons. The area experiences parking shortages in the day time
during the summer months, but parking is typically available during the rest of the
year. Two municipal parking lots and on- street parking is available in the area to
accommodate the proposed use in the off - season months.
Tmplt: 03/08/11

Paqe 5 of 13
D -8. The proposed project is not expected to noticeably change the parking demand in the
McFadden Square area.
Finding:
E. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating
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:
E -1. The project site is located within an existing commercial building and the tenant space
is designed and developed for an eating and drinking establishment. The design, size,
location, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood, The existing tenant space on the subject property has historically been
utilized by an eating and drinking establishment and liquor store.
E -2. Adequate public and emergency vehicle access, public services, and utilities are
provided to the subject property. Any additional utilities upgrades required for the
change in occupancy will be required at plan check and have been included in the
conditions of approval.
E -3. The tenant 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, safety, or general
welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
Facts in Support of Finding:
F -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.
F -2. The expanded establishment will provide dining and entertainment as a public
convenience to the surrounding neighborhood and visitors to the area. This will help to
revitalize the project site and provide an economic opportunity for the property owner
to update the retail tenant and service, which best serve the quality of life for the
surrounding visitor- and local- serving community.
Tmplt: 03/08/11
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1938
Paqe 6 of 13
F -3. The proposed use is located in a district which is subject to a captive market that
results in shared trips, different peak periods for a variety of land uses, and a high
level of pedestrian and bicycle activity. These characteristics reduce the demand of
the expanded bar establishment and the number of parking spaces required to serve
the proposed use. Adequate parking is provided in the nearby municipal lots in the off-
season months and summer weekdays to accommodate the proposed use.
F -4. The triangular outdoor patio area will be open on only one side facing eastward
towards Newport and West Balboa Boulevards and will be delineated by a 6- foot -1-
inch tall glass barrier to provide sound attenuation.
