EXHIBIT A
FINDINGS (APPROVAL)
A. The proposed project complies with Title 13, Section 13-29(g)(2), Conditional Use
Permit and Minor Conditional Use Permit, of the Municipal Code due to the
following:
Finding: The proposed use, as conditioned, 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 restaurant use and expanded
patio is within an existing commercial development consistent with the C2
zoning of the property and the other commercially -zoned properties in the
vicinity. Conditions of approval have been required to limit potential disruptions
to the residential uses located across the public alley behind the subject
property. Compliance and conditions of approval will ensure that the project
is substantially compatible and is not materially detrimental to properties within
the area.
Finding: The proposed use and improvements 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 restaurant use and expanded
patio, as conditioned, would not generate adverse noise or traffic impacts that
are unusual for commercially -zoned properties. Compliance with the
applicable Building and Fire Safety Codes would ensure the project is not
materially detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the public.
Furthermore, conditions of approval require the operation to be conducted in
a manner that would allow for the quiet enjoyment of the surrounding
neighborhood.
Finding: The proposed use, as conditioned, is consistent with the intent of the
zoning code and General Plan land use designation for the property.
Facts in Support of Findings: The General Plan land use designation of the
property is General Commercial. The General Commercial designation is
intended to permit a wide range of commercial uses that sere both local and
regional needs. The proposed use is an appropriate use for the General
Commercial land use designation. The proposed restaurant use and
expanded patio is consistent with General Plan Land Use Policies and
Objectives in that the new development would minimize the effects on the
character of the surrounding neighborhood and would be compatible with the
scale and character of the area.
Resolution No. 19-61 Page 4 of 16
Objective LU-1 A: Establish and maintain a balance of land uses throughout the
community to preserve the residential character of the City at a level no greater
than can be supported by the infrastructure.
Consistency: The proposed use, as conditioned, would minimize
impacts and therefore preserve the residential character of nearby
residential properties. Therefore, the project is consistent with this
General Plan objective.
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 needs of the business and
residential segments of the community.
Consistency. The proposed use would provide for the development
of a mix and balance of commercial goods and services and
employment opportunities within the area. Therefore, the project is
consistent with this General Plan policy.
Objective LU-3A: Establish policies, standards, and procedures to minimize
blighting influences, and maintain the integrity of stable neighborhoods.
Consistency. The proposed use, as conditioned, would minimize
adverse impacts to adjacent residential areas. Therefore, the project is
consistent with this General Plan objective.
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 appropriately conditioned to
minimize the encroachment of incompatible or potentially disruptive
land uses and/or activities. Therefore, the project is consistent with
this General Plan policy.
Objective LU-6A: Ensure the long-term productivity and viability of the
community's economic base.
Consistency. The proposed use will extend the economic viability of
the subject property and is therefore consistent with this General Plan
objective.
Policy LU-6.2: Continue to promote and support the vitality of commercial uses
to meet the needs of local residents and that support regional -
serving commercial centers.
Resolution No. 19-61 Page 5 of 16
Consistency: The proposed use, as conditioned, would continue to
promote and support the vitality of commercial uses to meet the
needs of local residents and support regional -serving commercial
centers. Therefore, the project is consistent with this General Plan goal.
B. The proposed project complies with Title 13, Section 13-29(g)(1), Variance, of the
Municipal Code due to the following:
Finding: Because of special circumstances applicable to the property, the strict
application of development standards deprives the property of privileges enjoyed
by others in the vicinity under identical zoning classifications.
Facts in Support of Findings (Setback): The unique shape and location of
the property along the Newport Beach Boulevard frontage road iustify a
deviation from the front landscape setback requirement. Because of special
circumstances applicable to the property, the strict application of
development standards deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by
others in the vicinity. With regard to the setback, the purpose of the 20-foot
setback is to provide a visual break between the public sidewalk and any
perimeter walls or buildings. In this case, the sidewalk (public right-of-way)
in front of the subject property is wide compared to the sidewalk width in
front of other businesses on the same block. Additionally, because of the
location of the other buildings within the 1700 block of Newport Boulevard in
relation to the frontage road, there is no opportunity for any of the existing
buildings to provide the code -required setback; therefore, the strict
application of the 20-foot setback to the subject property would deprive the
property of privileges enjoyed by others in the vicinity.
Facts in Support of Findings (Parking): The general availability of public
parking spaces within the Newport Beach Boulevard frontage road and
adiacent to the Police Department Westside Substation justify a deviation
from the on -site parking requirements. Because of special circumstances
applicable to the property, the strict application of development standards
deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by others in the vicinity.
Specifically, 67 public parking spaces, separated by a common driveway
connected to Newport Boulevard, are provided in a frontage road that provides
vehicle access to the subject property as well as the other businesses within
the 1700 block of Newport Boulevard. Additionally, 38 public parking spaces
are located in a lot at the northerly end of the 1700 Newport Boulevard block
at 565 W. 18th Street, next to the Police Department Westside Substation.
The location of these public parking spaces in close proximity to the subject
site creates a special circumstance applicable to the property that is unique
compared to other commercial areas within the City.
Finding: Because of special circumstances applicable to the property, the strict
application of development standards deprives the property of privileges enjoyed
by others in the vicinity under identical zoning classifications.
Resolution No. 19-61 Page 6 of 16
Facts in Support of Findings (Setback): The deviation does not constitute
a -grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other
properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property is situated. As noted
earlier, all of the other buildings within the 1700 block of Newport Boulevard
are built to the edge of the public sidewalk with no setback; therefore, the
variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with
other properties in the vicinity.
Facts in Support of Findings (Parking): The deviation does not constitute
a -grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other
properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property is situated. The
existing buildings along the frontage road have deficient on -site parking which
is legal nonconforming, resulting in most employees and customers parking in
the public parking areas along the frontage road and adjacent to the
substation. Because other businesses in the vicinity are allowed to use the
public parking lots, the parking variance will not constitute a grant of special
privileges inconsistent with other properties in the vicinity or create a special
circumstance.
Finding: The granting of the deviation 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 (Setback): The deviations will not allow a
use, density, or intensity which is not in accordance with the general plan
designation for the property. The property is not located in a specific plan
area; therefore that finding criteria does not apply. The proposed use as a
restaurant is consistent with the commercial General Plan land use
designation and zoning. The project, as conditioned, is consistent with the
applicable General Plan goals and policies.
Facts in Support of Findings (Parking): The deviations will not allow a use,
density, or intensity which is not in accordance with the -general plan
designation for the property The property is not located in a specific plan
area; therefore that finding criteria does not apply. The proposed use as a
restaurant is consistent with the commercial General Plan land use
designation and zoning. The project, as conditioned, is consistent with the
applicable General Plan goals and policies.
B. The project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) under Section 15303 for New Construction or Conversion of Small
Structures. This exemption applies because the project involves conversion of a
portion of an existing retail tenant space to restaurant use within an existing
commercial building that does not exceed 10,000 square feet on a site zoned C2
(General Commercial). The proposed project does not involve the use of a
Resolution No. 19-61 Page 7 of 16
significant amount of hazardous substances. The project site can be serviced by
all available public services and facilities and is located in an area that is not
environmentally sensitive.
C. 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 addressed by the payment of traffic
impact fees.
