EXHIBIT "A"
FINDINGS
A. The information presented does not substantially comply with Costa Mesa
Municipal Code section 13-29(g)(2) in that the proposed automotive repair use
and retail sales of automobiles are not substantially compatible with
developments in the same general area. Specifically, the building is a retail
strip center and is not designed for automotive repair. Furthermore,
automobile repair activities will generate adverse impacts for residentially -
zoned and developed property to the north. Granting the conditional use
permit will be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of other
properties, residents, and businesses within the immediate vicinity.
B. The proposed uses are not consistent with the guidelines of the
Redevelopment Plan which specifically discourages such uses.
C. An initial study was prepared, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality
Act. According to the initial study and negative declaration, which reflect the
independent judgment of the City of Costa Mesa, the proposed project could
not have a significant effect on the environment.
D. The project is exempt from Chapter XII, Article 3, Transportation System
Management, of Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code.
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.
