DETERMINATION
For all of the above reasons the Planning Commission finds that the Use Permit
was violated. These violations also establish additional grounds of operating an
establishment in an illegal manner, and violating ABC rules. These grounds are
separate bases for the Use Permit revocation /modification.
Although Overstreets contend they are not responsible for the actions of their
tenants, the Planning Commission finds that the owner of a Use Permit, which runs with
the land, has certain responsibilities to investigate and make sure the permit is being
operated in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Use Permit. The
Overstreets failed to supervise this operation as the owner of the Use Permit.
For all of these reasons, the Planning Commission finds that grounds for
modification have been established and does hereby impose such conditions which will
return the premises to the original intended use.

October 27. 2008
Councilman Mike Henn:
PF(FiI,!F[)
AM OCT 28 0 II- 9 8
"RECEIVED AFTER AGENDA
PRINTED:" 44 10-x8 -0ff
We have reviewed the Resolution arm ` .f �'nditions of Approval
prepared by the Planning Department for City ounci s approval.
We have several legitimate comments /issues with the Resolution and the
Conditions of Approval. We seek your advice and assistance in resolving these
matters. If that is not possible, we hope we will be provided the opportunity to
speak before the Council at the meeting.
In the Resolution:
1) The Resolution refers to "Sejour European Bistro & Lounge (Sejour)
located ........ This business is closed. Sejour never made an attempt to
resolve its differences with the City. We, the landowners have defended this
revocation, amendment and appeal. The Resolution should refer to "3400 Via
Lido Premises located.... ".
2) Whereas, it was the intent of the Planning Commission to bring the
operation of the establishment into conformity with the original project approval.
(Yet Exhibit "B" adds new conditions that were not part of Use Permit 2001 -005
and contradicts this intent)_
Exhibit "B: Conditions for Approval, prepared by the Planning
Department-
Condition 1. Refers to The on -site consumption to be limited to wine and
beer and says the Type 42 ABC License shall be confined to the wine tasting
bar.
Condition # 2
It specifically states all dining - related fixtures including tables and chairs
shall be removed to the satisfaction of the Planning Director. This statement is
contradictory to what you said during the Appeal Hearing. During the Appeal
Hearing on October 14, 2008, it was our distinct understanding that the City
Council wanted to revert to our original Use Permit #- 2001 -005. The 2001 -005
Use Permit permitted 29 seats in the A2 portion of the premises, including a bar
with bar stools, tables, chairs and some more comfortable seating scenarios. We
recall your comments that you liked the seating and did not have a problem with
the seating scenario, originally approved in 2001, Can this statement, please, be
removed from the Resolution? We are comfortable with 29 maximum seating,
but are deeply concerned that we cannot have tables and chairs. Does that
mean couches, coffee tables and stools only? Why is a bar stool permitted, but
not a chair?
Condition # 3
This condition is again contradictory to your comments during the Appeal
Hearing, stated above. This condition should be removed from Exhibit B.
Condition # 5 - What does this mean?
Condition # 6.
says "wine tasting fees required by "Department of ABC shall not exceed 10% of
the gross retail sales during the same period. Use Permit 2001 -005 did not
include this condition. This restriction is new and oppressive and unfair. This
condition was not discussed during the Revocation Hearing or the Appeal
Hearing. It is impossible and unreasonable to expect a business to operate
within these limitations. The Wine Retail business goes hand in hand with the
opportunity to taste wine before a consumer buys. Other businesses like our
own, i.e. Wine Gallery, Wine Lab, Hi -Time, all have bars and give consumers the
opportunity to taste wine. Use Permit 2001 -005 permitted a type 42 License.
This is the same License Type, as Wine Lab, Wine Gallery, Hi -Time and these
businesses do not have to operate under these conditions.
The 2001 -2005 Use Permit allowed for off -sale wine and spirits and on -sale
wine consumption - with no limitations as to percentages of off -sale and
on -sale.
The Planning Department staff adding this new restriction to on- premise sales
being only 10% is unreasonable.
Condition # 7
This condition again, contradicts what you specifically stated during the
Appeal Hearing. that we could offer, "small plates, appetizers" of warm food. This
condition says " No serving or preparation of food or meals..... other than small
amounts of cheese, bread or fruit is allowed." It was agreed by Council that we
could prepare and serve warm and cold appetizers and tapas.
Condition # 9
The Resolution says that the "cold kitchen" restriction is eliminated.
This condition is contradictory and confusing.
Dennis called Rosalihn Ung of he Planning Department yesterday afternoon, in
an effort to resolve these " conditions ", but he was unsuccessful. Ms. Ung said
that we "could not use the words "Bar or Wine Bar " when referring to our A2
section of the premises; whether it was in advertising or casual conversation. Ms.
Ung said to Dennis, "You can only refer to A2 as the facility that is used for wine
tasting ". And yet, the Wine Lab, the Wine Gallery and Hi -Time, all refer to their
wine bars as a "bar and or "wine bar ". She went on to say that we would have
serious problems with the City if we used the word "wine bar" in advertisements
etc in referring to A2. The Newport Beach Visitor's & Conference Bureau refers
to wine bars as a special amenity and attraction for purchasing and tasting wine
in the City of Newport Beach. It advertises the wine bars open to the public on a
regular basis.
Additionally, the Resolution prepared by the Planning Department for your
approval this evening, refers to our A2 portion as wine tasting bar. It is a wine
bar, so why can't it be called a wine bar?
We stand on our conviction that rescinding our Use Permit 2002 -034 has violated
our vested rights and removing our right to serve distilled spirits on the premises,
however, we are acting as responsible and reasonable business members of the
community.
As land owners and business operators, - the City of Newport Beach Planning
Department has singled us out and the City is making an example of our Use
Permit by imposing oppressive conditions that make it impossible to operate a
business owner. The City is imposing discriminatory punishment upon our land
and our land use.
During the past 11 -month process, not one objection has been made, written or
verbal regarding our operation and our land use. However, numerous
businesses, residences and prominent citizens of our district have come forward
to support our business operation, our land use and our potential re- opening.
Please call me 949 - 378 -7271 or Dennis 310 - 502 -3685 to let us know how this
Resolution can be approved without causing inappropriate actions against the
landowners.
Sincerely,
Dennis Overstreet

owner was required to submit the use permit application to the Planning
Department by June 30, 2008. If a new application was not received by June 30,

valid and were readopted, in addition to the findings of fact stated in Exhibit "A" of
the Planning Commission Resolution No. 1762; and
WHEREAS, on July 29, 2008, Dennis and Christine Overstreet, the
property owners, filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision; and
