EXHIBIT A
FINDINGS (APPROVAL)
A. The proposed project complies with Title 13, Section 13-29(g)(2), Conditional Use
Permit, of the Municipal Code due to the following:
Finding: The proposed development or use is substantially compatible with
developments in the same general area and would not be materially detrimental to
other properties within the area.
Facts in Support of Findings: The proposed use is a manufacturing and
distribution use and, with the recommended conditions of approval, will be
consistent with the other warehousing, manufacturing, and distribution uses
in the immediate vicinity. Compliance with the conditions of approval will
allow this use to operate with minimal impact on surrounding properties and
uses.
Finding: Granting the conditional use permit will not be materially detrimental to the
health, safety and general welfare of the public or otherwise injurious to property or
improvements within the immediate neighborhood.
Facts in Support of Findings: The proposed use is within an existing
building and is consistent with the MP zoning of the property and the other
properties in the vicinity. Compliance with the recommended conditions of
approval and code requirements, will ensure that the project is not materially
detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the public or otherwise
injurious to property or improvements within the immediate neighborhood.
Finding: Granting the conditional use permit will not allow a use, density or intensity
which is not in accordance with the general plan designation and any applicable
specific plan for the property.
Facts in Support of Findings: The project is consistent with the following
policies and objectives of the General Plan, Land Use Element. The
proposed use is within an existing building and there are no proposed
additions to the building; therefore, there is no change to density or intensity.
In addition, the proposed use is a permitted use in the industrial zone.
Policy LU -1.1: Provide for the development of a mix and balance of housing
opportunities, commercial goods and services and employment opportunities in
consideration of the need of the business and residential segments of the
community.
Consistency. The proposed use will provide a new entrepreneurial business in
Costa Mesa and provide new employment opportunities in the community.
Resolution No. 18-72 Page 4 of 14
Policy LU -3.1: Protect existing stabilized residential neighborhoods, including
mobile home parks (and manufactured housing parks), from the encroachment of
incompatible or potentially disruptive land uses and/or activities.
Consistency. The proposed use is not located near any residentially -zoned
properties. Therefore, the use is consistent with the General Plan Policy.
Policy LU -6.15: Promote unique and specialized commercial and industrial
districts within the City which allow for incubation of new or growing businesses
and industries.
Consistency. The proposed use is part of a growing industry and is proposed in
a location as specifically identified for such uses by the City's electorate through
Measure X. Therefore, approval encourages new businesses and entrepreneurial
opportunities in an area of the City identified for such by local voters.
B. The project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1) for Existing Facilities.
The project is exempt because it involves minor alterations to an existing industrial
building to accommodate a manufacturing and distribution use where an industrial
use existed previously. The proposed use is similar in nature to the previous office
use. As such, the project involves a negligible expansion of the prior use and does
not have the potential to cause significant environmental impacts. The use, as
conditioned, is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all
applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and
regulations.
C. The project is exempt from Chapter XII, Article 3, Transportation System
Management, of Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code.
