Minor Modification to operate a drive-thru restaurant (File No. 00977353-PCPM)

The City of Irvine is processing a minor modification to Conditional Use Permit 27398-CPU to permit tenant improvements and the operation of a Philz Coffee drive-thru restaurant within an existing drive-thru restaurant building. The request involves adjusting the current permit to accommodate the specific operational and physical changes required for a Philz Coffee location, leveraging the existing structure without necessitating new construction or significant alterations to the property’s permitted use. This change is intended to enhance the functionality and commercial appeal of the site while maintaining compliance with local zoning and land use regulations. The modification is being managed under File No. 00977353-PCPM and was posted as a forecast on July 28, 2026. The primary point of contact for this matter is Brett Cannon, Senior Planner with the City of Irvine, who can be reached via phone or email for inquiries. The applicant, Lyn Maloney of PM Design, is also listed as a secondary contact. The proposed project will take place at the designated location in Irvine, California, and no set-aside or NAICS code classification is specified, indicating this is a non-federal, locally governed land use adjustment. All documentation and updates can be accessed through the city’s CEQA Net portal.
