Dej5uty City Clerk and ex -officio Clerk of the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa 3 EXHIBIT "A" FINDINGS A. The information presented substantially complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-29(g)(7) in that impacts of relocating the EI Nido and Snug Harbor Village Trailer Parks residents have been duly considered previously in conjunction with the closures of these parks consistent with State law. Although, the City of Costa Mesa did not have discretionary authority to review the closure of these parks, on March 1, 2004, the City did review and approve the relocation impact report by adoption of City Council Resolution 04-21. Both Snug Harbor Village and EI Nido Trailers Parks were officially closed on June 1, 2004. Granting of this mobilehome park conversion request will discontinue a legal nonconforming use and development of the site and allow for the eventual development and use that conform to the City of Costa Mesa General Plan and Zoning Code. B. The proposed project complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-29 (e) because: a. The proposed conversion will allow for the future development of a use that is compatible and harmonious with uses on surrounding properties. b. Safety and compatibility of the design of buildings, parking area, landscaping, luminaries and other site features which may include functional aspects of the site development such as automobile and pedestrian circulation will be considered in conjunction with development applications for this property. c. The proposed mobilehome park conversion is consistent with the City's General Plan in that it allows for conversion of legal nonconforming use and development to a use and development that conforms to the General Plan. d. The mobilehome park conversion is for a project -specific case and does not establish a precedent for future conversions of other mobilehome parks in the City. e. The planning application has been considered in terms of the other planning applications submitted for this property, specifically, the proposed general plan amendment, rezone, and master plan. Approval of this planning application does not necessitate approval of the requested general plan amendment, rezone, and/or final master plan. C. Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 1051 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 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 insignficance where possible. D. The evidence presented in the record as a whole, indicates that the project will not individually or cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife resources or habitat.
