EXHIBIT "A" (APPROVAL)
FINDINGS
3175 Barbados
A. The proposed addition complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-29(e)
because:
1. The proposed development and use is compatible and harmonious with
uses both on-site as well as those on surrounding properties.
2. Safety and compatibility of the design of the buildings, parking areas,
landscaping, and other site features including functional aspects of the
site development such as automobile and pedestrian circulation have
been considered.
3. The proposed development is consistent with both the General Plan and
the Zoning designations because the proposed construction will not
increase the number of dwelling units on the property.
4. The proposed development satisfies the City's Residential Design
Guidelines. Specifically, the second to first floor ratio is 53% and the
proposed construction incorporates window trims, sidings, and a belly
band to break up the elevations and to provide architectural interest and
visual relief from off-site. The second story windows are also placed and
designed so as to minimize privacy impacts and direct views into windows
on the adjacent properties.
B. The project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act for ministerial projects.
C. The project is exempt from Chapter XII, Article 3, Transportation System
Management, of Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code.
