Café Lido Minor Use Permit (PA2025-0261)

Site Location: 3461 Via Lido Project Summary The Applicant is requesting a minor use permit (MUP) to upgrade the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license at an existing restaurant from a Type 41 (On Sale Beer and Wine) to a Type 47 (On-Sale General - Eating Place). In addition, the proposal includes renovating the tenant space and reducing the overall number of seats from 150 seats to 101 seats (77 seats on the interior and 24 patio seats). The reduction in overall seats will allow for the creation of a new bakery and to-go food pick up area as well as a new bar area. In conjunction with this request, the hours of operation would be reduced from 6 a.m. - 12 a.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 6 a.m. - 2 a.m., Friday and Saturday, to 7 a.m. - 11 p.m., daily, thereby eliminating late hour operations (i.e., after 11 p.m.). If approved, the MUP would supersede Use Permit No. UP3671 and Accessory Outdoor Dining Permit No. OD2001-002 (PA2001-134) (Project).

Childs Residence Modification Permit (PA2026-0093)

Site Location: 2391 Azure Avenue Project Summary A request for a modification permit to allow a 947-square-foot addition to an existing 1,505-square-foot single-unit residence with nonconforming parking (63% addition). Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) limits additions to a maximum of 10% of the existing gross floor area when a residence has nonconforming parking. The existing garage is considered nonconforming due to the width, as the garage only provides an interior clear dimension of 19 feet, 4 inches wide by 21 feet, 3 inches deep, where 20 feet wide by 20 feet deep is required. The addition otherwise complies with all applicable development standards, and no other deviations are requested.
