EXHIBIT "A"
FINDINGS
APPL. ZA-99-47
A. The information presented substantially complies with Costa Mesa Municipal
Code section 13-29(g)(2) . in that' the proposed garden center is substantially
compatible with developments in the same general area. Specificafiy, the
garden center has been designed to be similar in appearance to the main
building and other buildings within the proposed development. Granting the.
conditional use permit 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 garden center will be located approximately 60 feet
from residentially -zoned 'properties. The northerly fifteen feet of this area
(adjacent to the residential property line) and the southerly ten feet (adjacent to
the garden center wall) will be landscaped. A ten foot high screen wall is
provided along the north side of the garden center. The recommended
conditions of approval will ensure that the garden center 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. Granting the conditional use permit will not allow a use, density
or intensity which is not in accordance with the general plan designation for the
property.
B. An initial study was prepared, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality
Act. Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, according to the Initial Study and Negative Declaration, which
reflect the independent judgment of the City of Costa Mesa, there will not be
a significant effect on the environment because mitigation measures have
been added to the project and a mitigation monitoring program consisting of
all conditions of approval is required to be prepared by the applicant.
C. 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.
D. 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 fees to finance construction of
circulation system improvements.
