Title
WILD STRAWBERRY CAFE OUTDOOR DINING AREA EXPANSION (PA2023-309)
Site Location: 240 Newport Center Drive, Suite 100
Recommendation
Summary:
A request for a conditional use permit to increase the authorized area used for outdoor dining at an existing restaurant from 75 square feet to approximately 658 square feet and to waive the additional parking spaces required for the expanded area. Alcohol service would be offered on a portion of the expanded outdoor dining area through the restaurant’s existing Type 41 (On-Sale Beer and Wine - Eating Place) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License and the alcohol service area would be delineated with planters. Hours of operation are proposed to remain from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., daily. Aside from the expanded outdoor dining and alcohol service area, there are no other operational changes proposed. If approved, this Conditional Use Permit would supersede all prior approvals.
Recommended Action:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Find this review exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and
3. Adopt Resolution No. PC2024-017 approving Conditional Use permit filed as PA2023-309 and superseding Use Permit Nos. UP2021-026 (PA2021-135) and UP2003-051 (PA2003-295), Outdoor Dining Permit No. OD2004-002 and Staff Approval No. SA2004-018 (PA2004-220).
