REPORT TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Use Permit 3626 (Buzz) Revocation Appeal (Eric Rameson and Hospitality
Management Group, applicant/appellant)
3450 Via Oporto
SUMMARY: An appeal by the applicant of the Planning Commission's revocation of Use Permit
3626.
SUGGESTED
ACTION: Continue to February 13, 2001.
Background
On November 9, 2000, the Planning Commission voted (6 ayes, 0 no, I absent) to revoke Use Permit 3626.
The Planning Commission made this decision upon finding that the use permit was issued on the basis of
erroneous or misleading information or misrepresentation and that the terms or conditions of approval of the
use permit had been violated and that other laws or regulations had been violated.
The applicant filed the notice of appeal on November 27, 2000.
On December 1, 2000, applicant/appellant submitted a letter requesting a continuance and expressing a
willingness to correct the violations that led to the revocation.
On December 12, 2000, the City Council continued the appeal hearing to January 23, 2001.
Discussion
The applicant/appellant is requesting a second continuance to allow time to file an application for a use permit
for a new eating and drinking establishment on the project site. The applicant's stated intent is to have this new
establishment correct the conditions that led to the revocation of the current use permit.
No continuance date was specified. However, the applicant/appellant indicated that the application for the use
permit would be filed by the end of January. Therefore, staff recommends continuing the appeal hearing until
February 13, 2001.

'We would like to formally ask for another continuance of this item. Since the last
scheduled hearing, we have made significant progress in resolving the operational
characteristics of the Buzz. More importantly we are in the process of applying for a nety
use permit, that we believe will be more appealing to The City of Newport Beach. Our
foal is to have the application submitted before the end of January and have the new
operation active within 60 days of the new approval.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free
to call n1e at (949) 250-7117 L.
Sincerely.
