EXHIBIT "A"
FINDINGS
A. Final Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) #1052 was prepared for the
preliminary master plan, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.
Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
mitigation measures have been included as conditions of approval that reduce
impacts to the fullest extent reasonable and practicable.
B. Mitigation Measures from Final Program EIR #1052 have been included as
conditions of approval. If any of these conditions are removed, the City Council
must make a finding that the project will not result in significant environmental
impacts, that the mitigation measures are within the responsibility and jurisdiction
of another public agency, or that specific economic, social, or other
considerations make the mitigation measures infeasible.
C. The findings with respect to the environmental effects of the project are in the
document, "CEQA Statements of Findings, Facts and Overriding Consideration
for the North Costa Mesa High Rise Residential Projects", attached to the City
Council resolution for the General Plan Amendment GP -06-02.
D. The preliminary master plan meets the broader goals of the 2000 General Plan,
as amended, North Costa Mesa Specific Plan, as amended, and Zoning Code,
as amended, by exhibiting excellence in design, site planning, integration of uses
and structures, and protection of the integrity of neighboring development. The
proposed project would create a unique housing type and will be among the first
of this kind of housing type in Costa Mesa. The new buildings will feature world-
class architecture designed by renowned architects, and the high-rise residential
structure(s) will complement the cultural and entertainment arts center uses at
South Coast Plaza Town Center. The proposed project would meet the housing
needs of the high-income segments of the community at a level no greater than
0
that which can be supported by planned infrastructure improvements.
E. The evidence presented in the record as a whole indicates that the project will
not individually or cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife resources or
habitat.
F. The project, as conditioned, is consistent with Chapter XII, Article 3,
Transportation System Management, of Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal
Code in that the development project's traffic impacts will be mitigated by the
payment of traffic impact fees and designated improvements to impacted
intersections.
G. The project has been reviewed for conformity with the Orange County
Congestion Management Program (CMP) requirements and the additional traffic
generated by the project does not cause the CMP highway system to exceed
LOS "E".
H. The approval of the Preliminary Master Plan, as conditioned and proposed to be
mitigated per the Mitigation Monitoring Program, is contingent upon the General
Plan Amendment, North Costa Mesa Specific Plan Amendment, and Zoning
Code Amendment becoming final and effective.
I. The proposed high-rise residential structures have been submitted for review by
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The project shall be constructed in
accordance with the FAA Determination of No Hazard issued on October 31,
2006, or most current FAA Determination of No Hazard. The FAA No Hazard
Determination issued on October 31, 2006 established a maximum building
height of 306 feet above mean sea level (approx. 274 feet above ground level)
and 206 feet above mean sea level (approx. 173 feet above ground level) for
specified areas of the project site at 585 Anton Boulevard.

Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
North Costa Mesa High -Rise Residential Projects
The North Costa Mesa Higb-Rise Residential Project generally involves demolition of existing
structures, modification of unbuilt entitlements, and/or substitution of unbuilt entitlements for the
construction of new high-rise residential structures collectively totaling 1,269 dwelling units with
commercial/retail uses, Structures are proposed ranging from 280 to 315 feet above ground level,
The project area includes five sites in an area north of the I-405 Freeway and generally bound by
Sunflower Avenue to the north, Bristol Street to the west, Sakioka Drive to the east, and the I-405
Freeway to the south.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that all public agencies establish
monitoring and/or reporting procedures for mitigation measures (MMs) adopted as conditions of
approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant project impacts, Specifically, Section 21081.6(a)(1)
states:
The public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes
made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or
avoid significant effects on the environment. The reporting or monitoring program
shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation.
CEQA Guidelines §15097 provides clarification of mitigation monitoring and reporting requirements
and guidance to local lead agencies on implementing strategies. The reporting or monitoring program
must be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation.
The following Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program includes mitigation measures and
conditions of approval from the Final Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) No. 1052 (SCH
No. 2006011077) adopted by the Planning Commission on September 11, 2006 and by the City
Council on . An Initial Study/Notice of Preparation for the proposed project was
prepared in January 20D6. Mitigation measures have been incorporated by reference into the PEIR
from the following previously approved documents:
City of Costa Mesa General Plan Environmental Impact Report, SCH No. 2000031120,
January 2002
South Coast Plaza Town Center Environmental Impact Report No. 1047, SCH No.
2000041100, March 2001
Mitigation measures have been drafted to meet the requirements of Public Resources Code §21081.6
as fully enforceable monitoring programs, The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
defines the following for each mitigation measure:
1. A time for performance. In each case, a time for performance of the mitigation measure,
or review of evidence that mitigation has taken place, is provided. The performance
points selected are designed to ensure that impact -related components of project
implementation do not proceed without establishing that the mitigation is implemented or
assured.
1 A responsible party for implementing the required mitigation is identified. In each case,
unless otherwise indicated (as in Mitigation Measures 0-2 and T-1), the Developer is
generally the Responsible Party for implementing the mitigation, The City will monitor
the performance and implementation of the mitigation measures. To guarantee that the
mitigation measure will not be inadvertently overlooked the supervising public official is
the official who grants the permit or authorization called for in the performance,
3. Definition of mitigation. In each case (except where a mitigation measure, such as a
geotechnical report, is a well-known procedure or term of art), the mitigation measure
contains the criteria for mitigation, either in the form of adherence to certain adopted
regulations or identification of the steps to be taken in mitigation.
Matrix Orientation
The following matrix lists all mitigation measures and conditions of approval from the Final PEIR
referenced above, The matrix also identifies the applicable permit, the required timing, and
