Resolution No. 14-14 Page 3 of 28
EXHIBIT "A"
FINDINGS
A. The proposed project complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-29(e)
because:
• The proposed use is compatible and harmonious with uses on surrounding
properties.
• 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.
• The project is consistent with the City's General Plan and the Urban Plans.that
allow a Floor Area Ratio of 1.0 for live/work and mixed use projects.
• The planning application is for a project -specific case and does not establish a
precedent for future development.
B. Planning Application PA -13-21/ TTM 17658 is consistent with the goals, policies,
objectives, and/or regulations of the General Plan, Zoning Code, Mesa West Bluffs
Urban Plan. The proposed two-story and three-story, 36 -unit, live/work condominium
development is a new type of urban housing in the area that complies with the
important objectives of the Urban Plan which are:
a) To encourage construction of live/work that combines residential and
nonresidential uses in the same unit without exceeding the development
capacity of the General Plan transportation system;
b) Attract more residents and merchants by offering first floor offices;
c) Stimulate improvements in the urban plan area through well designed and
integrated urban residential development;
d) Meet demand for a new housing type to satisfy a diverse residential
population; and
e) Promote new housing for people seeking alternative housing choices.
The project meets the purpose and intent of the mixed-use overlay district, and the
stated policies of the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan. The proposed mixed use 36 -
unit live/work and residential development project will meet the central objectives of
Urban Plan to revitalize the Westside and create new live/work opportunities.
C. The proposed project complies with Title 13, Section 13-83.52(c), Mixed -Use Overlay
District, of the Municipal Code because the Master Plan is found to exhibit excellence
in design, site planning, integration of uses and structures and protection of the
integrity of neighboring development. The proposed project complies with the Urban
Plan to provide additional amenities or innovation in exchange for flexible
development standards. The project includes adequate resident -serving amenities
with open space common areas and the private balconies.
D. The proposed project complies with Title 13, Section 13-83.52(d), Mixed -Use
Overlay District, of the Municipal Code because:
a) The strict interpretation and application of the Zoning Code's development
standards would result in practical difficulty inconsistent with the purpose and
Resolution No. 14-14 Page 4 of 28
intent of the General Plan and Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan. The proposed
master plan does not strictly conform to the live/work development standards,
and therefore, deviations are requested for live/work standards, work space
minimum square footage standards, and rear setback standards. However,
the Urban Plans allow deviations from these requirements since the deviations
from development standards would still result in a well-designed project that is
considered compatible with the neighborhood. Adequate parking and open
spaces will be provided on-site that will be maintained by homeowners
association and enforced by provisions of the CC&Rs.
b) The granting of these deviations results in a live/work development which
exhibits excellence in design, site planning, integration of uses and
structures, and compatibility standards for mixed use development. The
proposed development generally meets the setback requirements, and
development standards; however, three deviations are requested (minimum
work space, rear setback and live/work standards) that are justified with the
proposed site plan in that the site is designed to address the adjacent
industrial and residential uses; in addition, adequate parking spaces, private
and common open spaces are provided and the development meets the
height requirements per urban plans.
c) The granting of these deviations will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare, or be materially injurious to properties or improvements
in the vicinity. No adverse impacts from implementation of the proposed
project are identified.
d) The long-term vision of the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan is to encourage
live/work developments and non-traditional housing opportunities. The
requests for specified deviations are considered reasonable and would
result in implementation of a residential ownership project supportive of the
Urban Plan vision.
e) The proposed project will generate approximately 70 net new daily trips,
which include 21 net new a.m. peak hour trips, and 26 net new p.m. peak
hour trips. Additionally, as the proposed Project is consistent with the site's
zoning (underlying is General Industrial and overlay is Mesa West Bluffs
Overlay District). Given the Project's consistency with zoning, and since
negligible traffic generation is created due to the proposed change in land
uses, no traffic mitigation other than submitting the off-site Traffic Impact
Fee is required.
B. Pursuant to Section 13-29(g)(13) of the Municipal Code, the subject property is
physically suitable to accommodate Tentative Tract Map 17658 in terms of type,
design and intensity of development, and will not result in substantial environmental
damage nor public health problems, based on compliance with the City's Zoning
Code and General Plan.
C. 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).

D. In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, the Council on Environmental Quality
Regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act, and the City of
Costa Mesa Environmental Guidelines, and the IS/MND was available for public
review from December 24, 2013 to January 23, 2014.
E. The project is exempt from Chapter IX, Article 11, Transportation System
Management, of Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code.
