IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the City of Costa Mesa this 17th day of September, 2002. Deputy ity Clerk and ex -officio Clerk of the Cit Council of the City of Costa Mesa EXHIBIT "A" FINDINGS 1. The information presented substantially complies with Section 13-29(e) and 13-29(8)(14) of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code in that: a. The. proposed development and use, as conditioned, is compatible and harmonious with uses on-site as well as those on the surrounding properties. With exception of the existing garage dimensions and the front setback encroachment, the project meets or exceeds all residential development standards and design guidelines. b. Safety and compatibility of the design of the buildings, parking areas, landscaping, luminaries, and other site features including functional aspects 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 -specific case and does not establish a precedent for future development. e. The cumulative effects of all past and present planning applications have been considered for both the subject property and surrounding properties. f. The proposed development, as conditioned, is substantially compatible --and -harmo-nious - 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. The second story windows are strategically placed so as to limit direct views into neighboring properties. No parking impacts are anticipated even though the existing structure on-site precludes compliance with the required 20' x 20' garage dimensions. The existing garage can still fit 2 cars inside and the property has adequate driveway length for 2 open parking spaces. The recordation of and compliance with the land use restriction (which requires that the garage be available for parking 2 cars at all times) will provide adequate on-site parking to support the addition. 2. The minor modification for a 2' encroachment into the front setback will not negatively impact the surrounding properties because it is for a second story bay window, which provides architectural interest to the front elevation and does not have direct views into the abutting properties. 3. 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. 4. The project is exempt from Chapter XII, Article 3 Transportation System Management, of Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code. EXHIBIT "B" CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Ping. 1.
