FINDINGS
A. Required Finding: The proposed rezone is consistent with the Zoning Code and
the General Plan.
Facts In Support of Findings: The proposed project meets or exceeds the
intent of the City's Zoning Code with regard to the development standards for
the C2 zone, including lot size, building setbacks, building height, and onsite
parking. The General Plan land use designation for the project area is
General Commercial, which is compatible with the proposed zone change to
C2 (General Business District).
The following describes the proposed project's consistency with specific goals and
objectives of the General Plan, Land Use Element.
• Goal LU -1: Land Use: It is the goal of the City of Costa Mesa to provide its
citizens with a balanced community of residential, commercial, industrial,
recreational, and institutional uses to satisfy the needs of the social and
economic segments of the population and to retain the residential character of
the City; to meet the competing demands for alternative developments within
each land use classification within reasonable land use intensity limits; and, to
ensure the long-term viability and productivity of the community's natural and
man-made environments.
Consistency: The project would provide a self -storage facility under the title
and design features of a "mini -warehouse" with a freestanding food court
building that is designated for general commercial uses. The project would
add to the commercial character of the community and meet the competing
demands for alternative development. Therefore, the project is consistent with
this General Plan goal.
• Objective LU -113: Ensure the long-term productivity and viability of the
community's economic base.
Consistency: The project would develop a profitable self -storage facility and
food court building and would provide local employment opportunities. The
proposed project would strengthen the City's economic base. Therefore, the
project is consistent with this General Plan objective.
• Goal LU -2: Development: It is the goal of the City of Costa Mesa to establish
development policies that will create and maintain an aesthetically pleasing
and functional environment and minimize impacts on existing physical and
social resources.
Consistency: The project would redevelop the property with a self -storage
facility and a food court building. The project would enhance the site's visual
appearance through the use of landscaping to soften the visual impact of the
storage facility. The proposed project would include the use of materials and
colors that create visual interest as outlined in City policies related to
aesthetics. The project's design would reflect that of similar project recently
constructed in the area. Therefore, the project is consistent with this General
Plan goal.
• Objective LU -2A: Encourage new development and redevelopment to
improve and maintain the quality of the environment.
Consistency: The proposed project includes the redevelopment of a site that
currently has an automotive mall. Implementation of the proposed project
would reduce stormwater runoff by improving on-site hydrology. The building
would be designed with energy saving components including solar panels and
low-energy lighting.
B. The project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines, and the City's environmental
procedures. An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) has been
prepared for the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). If any of these conditions are removed, the decision-making body must
make a finding that the project will not result in significant environmental impacts,
that the conditions are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public
agency, or that specific economic, social or other considerations make the mitigation
measures infeasible.
