RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4281 approving Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) 2015-05 and Design Review (DR) 2015-005 to authorize on-site beer and
wine sales (ABC License Type 41) in conjunction with a restaurant and outdoor seating
area located at 14001 Newport Avenue, Unit A.
APPROVAL AUTHORITY
The project site is located within the Central Commercial (C2) zoning district. Pursuant
to Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9233b(1) and 9232b(2), the C2 zoning district
permits on-site alcoholic beverage sales in conjunction with a restaurant subject to the
approval of a CUP. Section 9299b of the TCC authorizes the Zoning Administrator to
forward any matter listed to the Planning Commission for consideration and action.
Pursuant to Section 9277 of the TCC, approval of a DR is required for outdoor
restaurant seating areas.
BACKGROUND
Site and Surrounding Properties
The project site is located within an existing 7,400 square -foot commercial center, known
as Makena Square, and bounded by Newport Avenue to the south, EI Camino Real to the
east, a motel to the northwest, and is surrounded by commercial uses (Attachment A).
The Ivy Lounge and Grill restaurant is located in Suite A of the shopping center, adjacent
to El Camino Real. The center has approximately six (6) tenant spaces of similar square
footage. Other businesses in the center include a day spa, hair and nail salon, dental
office, and other retail uses.

On December 15, 2014, Code Enforcement was informed of the installation of non -
approved outdoor seating and the construction of a 36 inch tall masonry wall within the
new restaurant seating area. Code Enforcement staff investigated the project site and
found that the business had installed booth seating that was not consistent with the prior
approval for outdoor seating and the existing 36 inch masonry wall had been extended. In
addition, Building Division staff identified restaurant tenant improvements that had
commenced without a permit, a violation of California Building Code (CBC) Section 114 for
construction without a permit (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: Code Violation
The business owner has since obtained building permits for restaurant tenant
improvements and these permits have been issued and work completed. The applicant
submitted this application to comply with the TCC regarding Outdoor Restaurant Seating,
in conjunction with a new request for on-site alcoholic beverage sales.
DISCUSSION
Project Summary
The applicant is requesting authorization for on-site alcoholic beverage sales for beer
and wine (ABC License Type "41 ") in conjunction with a restaurant, Ivy Lounge and
Grill, located in an approximately 1,386 square -foot tenant space. Restaurant includes
543 square -feet of interior restaurant seating. No expansion to the interior floor plan is
proposed, however the applicant has proposed the expansion of the restaurant to
include approximately 545 square -feet of outdoor seating area (restaurant seating), to
Planning Commission Report

be converted from an existing outdoor seating area (seating in common). The proposed
outdoor seating area includes: eighteen (18) tables, thirty-six (36) chairs, nine (9) patio
umbrellas, and three (3) portable patio heaters per the submitted floor plan (Attachment
C).
Alcoholic Beverage Sales
The sale of beer and wine for on-site consumption can be authorized in conjunction with a
"bona fide" restaurant use in conformance with the City's Alcohol Beverage Sales
Establishment Guidelines as amended by the Planning Commission and adopted by the
City Council on May 21, 2001, and the applicable zoning code regulations.
Pursuant to the Guidelines, a restaurant use is defined as: "A retail establishment that sells
food and beverages prepared on the site, where customers are served for on-site
consumption." At least 80 percent of the premise's seating shall be designed and used for
food consumption and must possess the necessary utensils, table, service, and condiment
dispensers with which to serve meals to the public. Also, the gross annual sales of food
must exceed the sale of alcohol.
The submitted application states that approximately 95 percent of sales are estimated to
be from food and 5 percent from beer and wine. The sale and consumption of alcoholic
beverages is proposed within the interior restaurant space and the outdoor patio area.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 4281 (Attachment D) contains conditions that are
consistent with the City's Alcoholic Beverage Sales Establishment Guidelines for on-site
sale and consumption of beer and wine in conjunction with a restaurant.
Figure 3: Proposed Floorplan, Interior
Outdoor Seating Use
The proposed outdoor seating area includes the expansion of the existing three (3) foot
masonry walls to be constructed proximate to the seating area and a three (3) foot tall
glass windbreak be installed on top of the masonry way for a maximum of six (6) feet in

height. Outdoor seating area as proposed would include: eighteen (18) tables, thirty-six
(36) chairs, nine (9) patio umbrellas, and three (3) portable outdoor heaters (Figure 4).
Staff is recommending that the proposed outdoor seating be limited to thirty-two (32)
seats to ensure that the outdoor seating area is ancillary to the restaurant use.
The current outdoor seating guidelines outline that uses such as public schools,
residential neighborhoods, churches, hospitals, and arcades should be considered
when outdoor seating is proposed. The guidelines identify that outdoor seating areas
within 600 feet of a public school should consider and mitigate for potential impacts to
school children; the nearest public school is approximately 800 feet from the project
site. The nearest residential use is approximately 220 feet from the outdoor seating
area, which meets the minimum 200 -foot distance requirement between outdoor seating
and residential uses. The nearest church use is on South B Street, approximately 800
feet from the project site.
The restaurant use is a casual dining establishment, and no arcade or live
entertainment uses are proposed with this project.

Figure 5: Proposed Elevation, Outdoor Seating
Parking and Increased Seating
The project site was originally developed in 2004 with a parking requirement of one (1)
space per 200 square -feet of gross floor area throughout the center for a total of thirty-
seven (37) spaces of off-street parking, reflecting parking requirements within TCC at
the time. Since that time, the TTC has been updated to require one (1) space per two -
hundred -fifty (250) square -feet for these same uses. When applied across the center,
the new requirement would yield thirty (30) required spaces with seven (7) surplus
spaces remaining.
As this property is located within the Old Town Commercial (OTC) land use designation
within the Tustin General Plan, this restaurant would qualify for the same parking
requirement as that of the retail uses as it is replacing an approved use. No additional
parking spaces shall be required when a restaurant use replaces a retail, service, or
office use on a property located within both the Central Commercial District (C2) and the
Old Town Commercial General Plan land use designation. For this reason, this location
can utilize the same one (1) space per two -hundred -fifty (250) square -feet requirement
as the remainder of the center.
Planning Commission Report

CUP 2015-05 & DR 2015-005
Page 7
As the existing outdoor seating area was approved as "seating in common" no
additional parking was required for this use at the time of development. The applicant
proposes a conversion of this space for restaurant outdoor seating, which requires
additional parking be provided if the area is to contain more than twelve (12) seats or is
larger than 50 percent of the restaurant's interior seating area. As recommended, the
outdoor seating area would contain thirty-two (32) seats, and would occupy 545 square -
feet of outdoor space. Using a parking ratio of one (1) space per 100 square -feet for any
outdoor seating area greater than 50 percent of the interior seating area, a total of three
(3) parking spaces is required. In summary, of the seven (7) surplus spaces, three (3)
spaces will be assigned to the outdoor seating area. Therefore, the site has the
required parking to support the additional seating area.
Hours of Operation
The restaurant's proposed hours of operation are 11:00 AM to 12:00 AM, Monday through
Thursday and 11:00 AM to 2:00 AM, Friday through Sunday. Other businesses in the
area, such as the Honda -Ya restaurant is closed at 1:00 AM; the Roma D'Italia
restaurant is closed at 10:30 PM; and the former Quinn's closed at 12:00 AM on
Saturday.
The Planning Commission adopted a recent policy in that the Planning Commission
may approve restaurants with alcoholic beverage sales to be open until 11:00 PM on
weekdays and until 12:00 AM midnight on weekends. Staff recommends that the
restaurant use be limited to 11:00 PM on weekdays and 12:00 AM on weekends
consistent with Planning Commission policy and the outdoor seating operations
terminate at 11:00 PM consistent with TCC Section 9277.
FINDINGS
In determining whether to approve the CUP for the on-site alcoholic beverage sales, the
Planning Commission must determine whether or not the proposed use will be
detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons
residing or working in the neighborhood, nor be injurious or detrimental to the property and
improvements in the neighborhood of the subject property, or to the general welfare of the
City of Tustin. In determining whether to approve the DR for outdoor seating, the Planning
Commission must determine whether it can be found that the location, size, architectural
features, and general appearance of the proposal will not impair the orderly and
harmonious development of the area, the present or future development therein, or the
occupancy as a whole.
A decision to approve the CUP and DR request may be supported by the following
findings:
