Resolution No. 18.69 Page 8 of 33
EXHIBIT B OF RESOLUTION
MASTER PLAN PA -18-05 AND VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 18156
FINDINGS
A. The proposed project complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-29(e),
Review Criteria, because:
Finding: A compatible and harmonious relationship exists between the proposed use
and existing buildings, site development, and uses that exist or have been approved
for the general neighborhoods.
Facts in Support of Findings: With implementation of the mitigation
measures identified in the IS/MND for the proposed project, all potentially
significant environmental impacts have been reduced to less than significant
levels. With the implementation of the recommended conditions of approval,
the proposed project will be compatible and harmonious with uses that exist
within the general neighborhood. The project features quality construction and
materials. The proposal provides on-site amenities comparable with quality
residential units. The proposed parking is adequate to meet the demand for
this project.
Finding: Safety and compatibility of the design of the parking areas, landscaping,
luminaries, and other site features including functional aspects of the site
development such as automobile and pedestrian circulation have been considered.
Facts in Support of Findings: The proposed on-site parking will be sufficient
to accommodate the proposed mix of units within this project. The project will
provide adequate sight distance for vehicles at all project drive approaches.
Fire Department turnarounds that will be provided at the end of Ford Road and
also the alley facilitate emergency access. Prior to issuance of building permits,
the applicant shall submit a Lighting Plan and Photometric Study to
demonstrate compliance with City Code requirements (required as a condition
of approval). The project has been conditioned to comply with these conditions;
as a result, the safety and compatibility of the project has been insured.
Finding: With approval of the General Plan Amendment and the density of 20.4
du/acre, the proposed high density residential use is consistent with the General Plan.
Facts in Support of Findings: The project includes 38 dwelling units at 20.4
du/acre density, which is subject to approval of a General Plan Amendment
Resolution No. 18-69 Page 9 of 33
adopted by resolution and Rezone adopted by ordinance. Both actions require
approval by the City Council.
Finding: The cumulative effect of all the planning applications have been considered.
Facts in Support of Findings: The cumulative effects have been considered
for this project and no significant impacts were identified.
C. The proposed project complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-
29(g)(13), Tentative Tract Map Findings, because:
Finding: The creation of the subdivision and related improvements is consistent with
the General Plan and the Zoning Code.
Facts in Support of Finding: The creation of the subdivision for condominium
purposes and related improvements is consistent with the General Plan and
the Zoning Code; the site is physically suitable to accommodate the subdivision
in terms of type, design, and density of development; and the proposal is
consistent with the State Subdivision Map Act. The creation of the subdivision
is consistent with General Plan Land Use Element in that the project complies
with Objective LU -1.3 which encourages owner -occupied housing to improve
the balance between rental and ownership housing opportunities. The property
is physically suitable to accommodate the subdivision for condominium
purposes. Public Services staff has confirmed that there are no interferences
with the City's or other utility right-of-way areas and/or easements within the
tract, subject to Council approval of the abandonment of a portion of Ford Road.
Finding: The proposed use of the subdivision is compatible with the General Plan.
Facts in Support of Finding: The project proposes residential uses on the
property. The project has a site density of 20.4 du/acre, which is consistent with
the site-specific density approved under GPA 18-02 and Rezone 18-01.
Finding: The subject property is physically suitable to accommodate the subdivision
in terms of type, design, and density of development, and will not result in substantial
environmental damage nor public health problems, based on compliance with the
Zoning Code and General Plan, and consideration of appropriate environmental
information.
Facts in Support of Finding: The City of Costa Mesa prepared an Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), which was conducted pursuant
to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The
IS/MND supports the conclusion that the proposed project does not result in any
Resolution No. 18-69 Page 10 of 33
significant environmental effects with implementation of the mitigation measures
identified in the IS/MND. The project complies with the maximum allowed site -
density as proposed. Deviations from the open space requirement, site
coverage requirement, and providing open and guest parking within carports is
approved as part of the overall master plan for the site finding that the master
plan as proposed provides adequate open space, parking and setbacks from
adjacent properties. The design of the three-story homes complies with the
building mass and form, side and rear yard setbacks, elevation treatment, and
architectural consistency guidelines. The architectural design is consistent
throughout the site with Spanish Colonial design and added accents. A bermed
landscape setback and stoops separate the homes from Newport Boulevard
frontage and significant landscape setback is provided along the alley to the west
and the mobile home park to the north.
Finding: The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future
passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities in the subdivision, as required by
State Government Code Section 66473.1.
Facts in Support of Finding: The project provides private open space areas
as patios or balconies for each unit, and incorporates landscaping, such as
trees, to ensure natural and passive heating and cooling from the sun
exposure. Most units are designed in a north -south position allowing for narrow
portion of homes along the southern elevation to minimize sun exposure. The
project also provides private open space areas under canopies.
Finding: The subdivision and development of the property will not unreasonably
interfere with the free and complete exercise of the public entity and/or public utility
rights-of-way and/or easements within the tract.
Facts in Support of Finding: The proposed project does not interfere with
the public right of way per the Public Services Division, subject to City Council
approval of the abandonment of a portion of Ford Road.
Finding: The discharge of sewage from this subdivision into the public sewer system
will not violate the requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board
pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000 of the Water Code).
Facts in Support of Finding: The applicant will be required to comply with all
regulations set forth by the Costa Mesa Sanitation District as well as the Mesa
Water District.
Resolution No. 18-69 Page 11 of 33
D. The proposed project complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-29(g)(5),
Master Plan Findings, because:
Finding: The project meets the master plan meets the broader goals of the general
plan, any applicable specific plan, and the Zoning Code by exhibiting excellence in
design, site planning, integration of uses and structures and protection of the integrity
of neighboring development.
Facts in Support of Findings: The project requires approval of a general plan
amendment and rezone to change the land uses designations on three parcels
from commercial to residential, allowing for the proposed 38 -unit townhome
development. The project would provide a better transition to residential uses
located to the west of the project site, than would be allowed under the existing
commercial zoning. As conditioned, the project would satisfy the required
findings for the proposed code deviations and is designed as a high-quality
development; therefore, it is consistent with the intent of the General Plan. The
proposed minor increase to the density is subject to approval of the City Council
and would potentially allow one additional unit to be developed on the project
site (compared to the density allowed by the proposed residential zoning).
The design of the three-story homes complies with the building mass and form,
side and rear yard setbacks, elevation treatment, and architectural consistency
guidelines. The architectural design is consistent throughout the site with Spanish
Colonial design and added accents. A berrned landscape setback and stoops
separate the homes from Newport Boulevard frontage and significant landscape
setback is provided along the alley to the west and the mobile home park to the
north.
The deviations from minimum open space and maximum site coverage are in part
due to the special circumstances of the site and the product type proposed. The
project site includes consolidation of three parcels that are irregular in shape and
not viable for commercial development; closure of Ford Road facilitates
consolidation of these parcels into a project site that is viable for development.
Providing a one-way access from Newport Boulevard as negotiated with the
mobile home park management increases the hardscape areas and is one factor
in the applicant's request for a deviation from the requirement for open space at
ground level. In addition, the applicant is proposing surplus covered parking
spaces in the form of both garages and carports to exceed the minimum Code -
required number of covered parking spaces. Nine additional guest parking
spaces are proposed for an overall total of 140 spaces on-site. The project
provides a pocket park for outdoor gatherings and as conditioned, each of the
units includes a private balcony with a minimum 100 square feet in area.
Resolution No. 18-69 Page 12 of 33
E. The project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines, and the City's environmental procedures.
An IS/MND was prepared for the proposed project, 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 less than significant levels.
F. Mitigation Measures from the IS/MND have been included as Exhibit E. If any of these
conditions are removed or substantially modified, the Planning Commission must make
a finding that the project will not result in significant environmental impacts.
G. 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 at all affected intersections by
the payment of traffic impact fees.
H. The proposed buildings are an excessive distance from the public street necessitating
fire apparatus access and provisions of on-site fire hydrants.

EXHIBIT D OF RESOLUTION
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
CEQA Requirements
Section 15097 of the CEQA Guidelines require a public agency to adopt a program for
monitoring or reporting on the changes it has required in the project or conditions of approval
to substantially lessen significant environmental effects. This Mitigation, Monitoring and
Reporting Program (MMRP) summarizes the mitigation commitments identified in the
Newport & Ford Residential Project (Project). Mitigation measures are presented in the same
order as they occur in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND).
The columns in the MMRP table provide the following information:
• Mitigation Measure(s): The action(s) that will be taken to reduce the impact to less than
significant.
• Responsible Implementation Agency: The agency or private entity responsible for
ensuring implementation of the mitigation measure. For the proposed Project, the City of
Costa Mesa, as the CEQA Lead Agency, remains responsible for ensuring that
implementation of the mitigation measures occur in accordance with the MMRP (CEQA
Guidelines, Section 15097(a)).
• Monitoring Phase, Enforcement Agency, and Monitoring Agency:
1. The general timing for implementing each mitigation measure.
2. The agency or private entity responsible for enforcing the implementation of the
mitigation measure. For the proposed Project, the City of Costa Mesa, as the CEQA
Lead Agency, remains responsible for enforcing the implementation of the mitigation
measures occur in accordance with the MMRP (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15097(a)).
3. The agency responsible for monitoring the implementation of the mitigation measure.
• Date of Compliance: The date in which the mitigation measure has been completed.

Biological Resources
BIO -1: Nesting Birds. The Applicant shall ensure that Development Services 1. Construction
removal of trees occur outside the bird nesting season, which Department 2. Development Services
occurs generally February 15 to August 31, is monitored by a
qualified biologist to ensure that no impacts to actively 3. Development Services
nesting birds take place. If any active bird nests are found
(i.e., containing at least one nestling or potentially viable
egg), protection of the nest and contents should be
accomplished by setting up appropriate buffers around any
active nesting sites until young fledge or the nest fails.
Cultural Resources
CUL -1: Unanticipated Discovery of Archaeological
Resources. If cultural resources are encountered during
ground -disturbing activities, work within 50 feet of the find
must halt and a qualified archaeologist meeting the Secretary
of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards for
archaeology must be contacted immediately to evaluate the
find. If the discovery proves to be significant under CEQA,
additional work such as data recovery excavation may be
warranted. The on-site monitoring shall end when the project
site grading and excavation activities are completed, or
sooner if the archaeologist indicates that the site has a low
potential for archeological resources. During monitoring, the
archaeologist shall complete monitoring logs on a daily basis.
The logs will provide descriptions of the daily activities,
including construction activities, locations, soil, and any
cultural materials identified. Following completion of
monitoring, the archaeologist shall prepare a summary
memorandum of finds, their significance under CEQA and
their disposition.
CUL -2: Unanticipated Discovery of Paleontological
Resources. The applicant shall retain a qualified
paleontologist to observe all grading activities that occur
three (3) feet or more below the site's surface. The
paleontologist shall be responsible for monitoring all
subsequent excavations and professionally recovering and
evaluating any fossil remains discovered during excavation,
while not impeding development. Additionally, the
paleontologist shall collect and process sediment samples to
determine the small fossil potential in the site. The
paleontologist shall ensure that any fossils recovered are
deposited in an accredited and permanent scientific institution
for the benefit of current and future generations.

CUL -3: Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains. The
discovery of human remains is always a possibility during
ground -disturbing activities. If human remains are found, the
State of California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5
states that no further disturbance shall occur until the county
coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition
pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. In the
event of an unanticipated discovery of human remains, the
county coroner must be notified immediately. If the human
remains are determined to be prehistoric, the coroner will
notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC),
which will determine and notify a most likely descendant
(MLD). The MLD shall complete the inspection of the site
within 48 hours of notification and may recommend scientific
removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and
items associated with Native American burials.
