EXHIBIT "A"
FINDINGS .
A. The information presented does not substantially comply with
Section 13-346 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code in that no
special circumstances applicable to the property exist to
justify granting the Variance from parking and front
landscaped setback requirements. Strict application of the
zoning ordinance will not deprive the property owner of
privileges enjoyed by owners of other property in the vicinity
under identical zoning classification.
B. The information presented substantially complies with Costa
Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-347 in that the proposed use is
substantially compatible with developments in the same general
area; granting the Conditional Use Permit will not be
detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the
public or other properties or improvements within the
immediate vicinity; and granting the Conditional Use Permit
will not allow a use, density or intensity which is not in
accordance with the General Plan designation for the property.
Specifically, the use is residential in nature, compatible
with the residential neighborhood in which it is located.
C. The project has been reviewed for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA
Guidelines, and the City environmental procedures, and has
