EXHIBIT "A".
FINDINGS
A.' The information presented substantially complies with Costa Mesa Municipal
Code section 13-29(g)(5)(a) in that the proposed project,.. as conditioned,
meets the broader goals of the General Plan, North Costa Mesa Specific Plan,
and Zoning Code by exhibiting excellence in design, site planning, integration
of uses and structures and protection of the integrity of neighboring
development. Specifically, an entry plaza is proposed which provides a
usable, visually interesting pedestrian amenity. Interior landscaped area in
excess of Code requirements is proposed. Furthermore, the project will
provide a buffer between the existing Los Angeles Times building and the
proposed residential project to the east.
B. The proposed project complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-
29 e) because:
a. The proposed development and use are compatible and harmonious with
uses both on-site as well as those on surrounding properties. Specifically,
the project proposes a low -impact industrial/office use that should have
.minimal impacts on future residents to the east, and will blend with the
mix of commercial and retail development proposed for the remainder of
the Home Ranch and the existing development to the north. Additionally,
the project will provide a buffer between the existing Los Angeles Times
building and the proposed residential project to the east.
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 and the North Costa Mesa
Specific Plan.
d. The planning application is for a project -specific case and does not
establish a precedent for future development.
C. .Final Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) #1048 was prepared,
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality act. Although the proposed
project could have a significant effect on the environment, according to the
Final Program EIR, which reflects the independent judgment of the City of
Costa Mesa, mitigation measures have been added to the project that
minimize anticipated impacts to a level of insignificance where possible.
D. The evidence in the record as a whole rebuts the presumption of adverse
effect on wildlife resources as described in section 753.5(d) of Title 14, CCR.
E. The project, —as conditioned, is consistent with Chapter IX, Article 11,
Transportation System Management, of Title 13, of the Costa Mesa Municipal
Code in that the development project's traffic impacts will be mitigated by
the payment of traffic impact fees.
