EXHIBIT "A"
FINDINGS (approval)
A. The proposed amendments to PA -08-24 (processed as ZA-09-05) complies with
Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-29(e) because:
1. The proposed use is compatible and harmonious with uses on surrounding
properties.
2. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan and Redevelopment Plan.
3. The planning application is for a project -specific case and does not establish a
precedent for future development.
B. The information presented substantially complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code
section 13-29(g)(2) in that the proposed use is substantially compatible with
developments in the same general area. Granting the amendments will not be
detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the public or other properties
or improvements within the immediate vicinity. Specifically, the pawnbroker services
will remain ancillary to the watch and jewelry retail store.
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 been found to be exempt from CEQA under Section 15301.
D. The project is exempt from Chapter XII, Article 3, Transportation System
Management, of Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code.
