EXHIBIT "A"
FINDINGS
A. The information presented does not comply with Costa Mesa Municipal Code
Section 13-29(g)(5) because the master plan does not meet the broader
goals of the General Plan and the Zoning Code with regard to protection of
the integrity of neighboring development. Specifically, the design, size,
placement and intensity of use of the commercial building is not compatible
with adjacent residential properties and will create cumulative adverse
impacts on existing developments in the area including parking, traffic, and
noise caused by the proposed development.
B. The proposed development does not comply with Costa Mesa Municipal
Code Section 13-29 (e) due to the adverse impacts on existing developments
in the area including parking, traffic, and noise caused by the design and
intensity of the proposed use because:
a. The proposed development is not compatible and harmonious with
uses that exist in the general neighborhood.
b. The proposed development is not consistent with the General Plan,
including, but not limited to, General Plan Objective GM -1A.1, which
requires a proportional balance of land uses.
