December 10, 2024
ITEM NO. 3 FIVE CROWNS APPEAL (PA2023-0202)
Site Location: 3801 East Coast Highway
SUMMARY: An appeal of the Zoning Administrator's August 15, 2024, decision to approve a limited term permit and coastal development permit to allow an existing temporary outdoor dining patio to remain for a limited term at Five Crowns Restaurant. The expanded 1,350-square-foot outdoor dining area including an 850-square-foot canopy was originally approved by an Emergency Temporary Use Permit (ETUP) in 2020 as a temporary addition to their existing outdoor dining. Although the ETUP expired, the temporary outdoor dining area has remained in use. The outdoor dining area will include live entertainment and will close by 10:00 p.m. A sound wall will be installed along the rear property lines along with other design features to reduce noise. The limited term permit and coastal development permit would allow the temporary use to remain until June 30, 2025, with a possible extension until December 31, 2025. A CDP is required because the property is within the Coastal Zone.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing, considered public input, and approved the project upholding the Zoning Administrator's decision by the following vote:
AYES:
Ellmore, Harris, Langford, Lowrey, Rosene, and Salene
NOES:
None
ABSENT:
None
RECUSED:
Barto
ACTION: Approved with amended conditions, including extending the term of the approval for one year with a possible one-year extension.

The project also includes a request to use valet parking and locate a portion of the required 48 parking spaces off -site at 2436 West Coast Highway. The proposed hours of operation are between 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., daily. The project does not include a request for late hours or live entertainment.
Recommended Actions:

ITEM NO. 3 FIVE CROWNS APPEAL (PA2023-0202)
Site Location: 3801 East Coast Highway
Summary:
An appeal of the Zoning Administrator's August 15, 2024, decision to approve a limited term permit and coastal development permit to allow an existing temporary outdoor dining patio to remain for a limited term at Five Crowns Restaurant. The expanded 1,350-square-foot outdoor dining area including an 850-square-foot canopy was originally approved by an Emergency Temporary Use Permit (ETUP) in 2020 as a temporary addition to their existing outdoor dining. Although the ETUP expired, the temporary outdoor dining area has remained in use. The outdoor dining area will include live entertainment and will close by 10:00 p.m. A sound wall will be installed along the rear property lines along with other design features to reduce noise. The limited term permit and coastal development permit would allow the temporary use to remain until June 30, 2025, with a possible extension until December 31, 2025. A CDP is required because the property is within the Coastal Zone.
Recommended Actions:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) Of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the Environment; and
3. Adopt Resolution No. PC2024-027, denying the appeal and upholding and affirming the Zoning Administrator's Approval of a Limited Term Permit for temporary outdoor dining filed as PA2023-0202.
