PROJECT DESCRIPTION
• Applicant proposes to expand an existing two-story, single-family residence by
adding 405 sq. ft. to the first floor and 931 sq. ft. to the second floor. A minor design
review is required because a 92% second-to-first floor ratio is requested; the
Residential Guidelines recommends a maximum 80% ratio. All other applicable
development standards, including the recommended second story average side
setback standards, will be satisfied.
• The second-floor addition is proposed at the rear of the residence; therefore, the
appearance of the residence from the street will remain substantially unchanged.
The neighbor to the left would be most impacted byithe new construction; however,
the second-floor addition will be setback 9.5 feet from the common (left side)
property line and there are no windows proposed for the entire length of this
elevation. The second-story addition maintains a minimum 30-foot setback from the
right side property line and 32 feet from the rear property lines. Therefore, there
should be no privacy impacts on any of the neighbors.
• Massing of the structure will be off-set by a variety of roof lines, wall planes,
numerous windows, and differing wall materials.
• The Medium Density Residential General Plan designation of the property requires a
minimum lot size of 3,630 sq. ft. per unit. Since construction is limited to expanding
the existing single-family residence, and the lot is 8,700 sq. ft. in area, the proposed
project will not affect the property's consistency with the General Plan.
FINDINGS
A. The information presented substantially complies Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section
13-29(g)(14) in that the proposed construction is substantially compatible and harmonious
with existing and/or anticipated development on surrounding properties. This includes site
planning, landscaping, appearance, scale of structures, location of windows, and any
other applicable features relative to a compatible and attractive development. Specifically,
the second-floor addition will be at the rear of the house. Privacy of adjoining neighbors
will not be affected because no windows are proposed for the left side elevation, which is
9.5 feet away from the closest property line, and a,minimum setback of 30 feet from the
right side and rear property lines will be provided.
B. The information presented substantially complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code
Section 13-29(e) in that:
a. The project is compatible and harmonious with existing development and uses in
the general neighborhood.
b. Safety and compatibility of the design of buildings, parking areas, landscaping,
luminaries and other site features, which includes functional aspect of the site
development such as automobile and pedestrian circulation, have been
considered.
c. The project is consistent with the General Plan.
d. The planning application is for a project-spedific case and is not to be construed to
be setting a precedent for future development.
C. The project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality
ZA-07-73
February 7, 2008

been found to be exempt under Section 15301, Existing Facilities, of CEQA.
