TITLE: Malarky's Irish Pub Appeal - (PA2010 -172)
3011 Newport Boulevard
An appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of Conditional Use Permit No. UP2010-
039 and Comprehensive Sign Program No. CS2011 -002 authorizing the expansion and
remodel of an existing eating and drinking establishment with late hours and allowing the
use of off -site parking. This item was continued from the April 26, 2011, City Council
meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Conduct public hearing; and
2. Modify the decision of the Planning Commission and adopt Resolution No. _
approving Conditional Use Permit No. UP2010 -039 and Comprehensive Sign
Program No. CS2011 -003, subject to findings and conditions included within the
draft resolution (Attachment No. CC 1).
April 26, 2011 City Council Hearing
On April 26, 2011, the City Council reviewed the proposed project and received
extensive testimony from the public. A total of 18 members of the public spoke in
support of the project. Seven residents spoke in opposition.
The City Council generally supported the project as conditionally approved by the
Planning Commission, with the exception of Condition No. 10. The City Council believed
that Condition No. 10, which requires the interior occupancy to be reduced from 166
persons to 120 persons between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m., would be
difficult to implement and enforce.

There was a general consensus that the applicant should be allowed to improve the
business and make a reasonable return on his investment. The City Council believed
that with the requirement to secure an operator license pursuant to Chapter 5.25 of the
Municipal Code provided the City with the ability to effectively regulate the
establishment should problems occur in the future.
However, to address the concerns that the increased occupancy during late hours may
potentially create a detriment to the neighborhood, Councilmember Henn made a
motion to approve the project as proposed, with the following modifications:
O Deleted Condition No. 10 requiring the interior occupancy to be reduced to 120
persons between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.
Added a new condition prohibiting the operator from allowing any entry or re-
entry of patrons into the establishment after midnight (New Condition No. 10).
Modified Conditions No. 4 and 5 to require full meal service to be provided until
midnight.
The City Council conducted a straw vote on the motion, which revealed support of the
motion from a majority the City Council. In order to allow the applicant time to consider
to the proposed action and an opportunity to present an alternative proposal that could
potentially address the Council's concern, the City Council continued the public hearing
to this meeting date.
Revised Resolution
As of the writing of this report, the applicant has not provided any new information or
alternative proposals. It is anticipated that the applicant will present an alternative at the
time of the hearing. however, should the applicant submit a proposal, staff will transmit it
to the City Council and make it available to the public. The attached draft resolution
incorporates the changes included in Councilmember Henn's motion. In addition, staff
has included Conditions No. 11 and 12 to ensure that the floor plan and occupancy
remains substantially the same as that currently proposed.
G Condition No. 11- Sets the maximum square feet of net public area allowed
within the interior of the establishment to 1,715 sq. ft. and on the outdoor dining
patio to 782 sq. ft, as proposed. Application of this condition will ensure that any
increase in net public area will require an amendment of this conditional use
permit.
Condition No. 12- Sets the maximum interior occupant load of the interior of the
establishment to 166 persons. Application of this condition will ensure that in the
future, the expanded dining room area is not reconfigured for bar seating or
standing room, resulting in an increase in occupancy.

Program is required whenever 3 or more signs are proposed for a single- tenant

Paoe 3 of 20

integral with the design and character of the building.
B -2. The applicant is proposing to renovate the exterior appearance of the building in
the architectural theme of a traditional Irish pub.
B -3. The existing tower element divides the primary frontage of the building requiring
signage to be broken up into three separate wall signs. The remaining awning
signs and projecting sign are minor and incidental to the primary wall signs. The
north and south elevations and considered secondary frontages and consist of
only one wall sign and two incidental awning signs.
Standard:
C. The sign program shall address all signs, including permanent, temporary, and
exempt signs.
Facts in Support of Standard:
C -1. The Sign Program submitted for the project addresses all project signage.
Temporary and exempt signs not specifically addressed in the Program shall be
regulated by the provisions of Chapter 20.42.

deviations are allowed with regard to sign area, total number, location, and /or
height of signs to the extent that the Comprehensive Sign Program will enhance
the overall development and will more fully accomplish the purposes and intent of
this Chapter.
Facts in Support of Standard:
E -1. The Sign Program requests deviation in number of signs and location.

more aesthetically pleasing orientation of signage and achieves the applicant's
design theme of a traditional Irish pub.

signage. Also, given the orientation of the building, staff believes the deviations
in the wall signs separation and centering are merited to allow the applicant
more effective sign placement.

corner of the building allows for increased sign visibility for motorists driving
along Newport Boulevard.
