FXHIRIT A
FINDINGS
A. The proposed master plan project complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section
13-29(g)(5) because:
Finding: The master plan meets the broader goals of the general plan, any
applicable specific plan, and the Zoning Code by exhibiting excellence in design,
site planning, integration of uses and structures and protection of the integrity of
neighboring development.
Facts in Support of Finding: The Mesa West Residential Ownership Urban
Plan envisioned contemporary architecture and infill development that would be
complementary to an urban setting. The proposed architecture and site design
would enhance the street views on Meyer Place and Anaheim Avenue with units
facing the public street with ample landscaping at the project frontage. The larger
units would be designed to be located towards the center of the project site to
avoid a bulky appearance from the public street. Though the project proposes
deviations from the Zoning Code and Urban Plan due primarily to the narrow
width of the site, it would redevelop two lots with a high -quality project that will
enhance the site and its surroundings. The project would also provide for new
housing intended for ownership at a level no greater than can be supported by
the existing infrastructure which is consistent with the land use objectives and
policies of the General Plan.
The proposed residential project would be compatible and harmonious with the
surrounding properties which include a mix of single and multi -family residential
developments (including other Urban Plan projects such as the adjacent
property to the south at 1974 Meyer Place as well as 2068 Maple Avenue, 2070
Maple Avenue, and 531 Bernard Street) at varying building heights and
densities. Although the development is not subject to the City's Residential
Design Guidelines, the variety of building elevations, materials and staggered
massing diminishes the boxy design appearance.
Finding: Master plan findings for mixed -use development projects in the mixed -use
overlay district are identified in Chapter V, Article 11, mixed -use overlay district
Facts in Support of Finding: The project is not within the mixed -use
overlay district; therefore, this finding is not applicable to the proposed project.
Finding: As applicable to affordable multi -family housing developments, the project
complies with the maximum density standards allowed pursuant to the general plan
and provides affordable housing to low or very -low income households, as defined
by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The project
includes long-term affordability covenants in compliance with state law.
Resolution No. 2021-10 Page 4 of 16
Facts in Support of Finding: The proposed project is a residential
development intended for home ownership opportunities as single-family
homes. The units are proposed to be at market -rate; therefore, this finding is not
applicable to the proposed project.
B. The proposed tentative parcel map complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code
Section 13-29(g)(13) because:
Finding: The creation of the subdivision and related improvements is consistent with
the General Plan and the Zoning Code.
Facts in Support of Finding: The proposed parcel map is consistent with
General Plan Land Use Objectives LU-1 A, LU-4A, and Policy LU-1.3, in that
adequate infrastructure exists to serve the proposed project; the subdivision
allows for a project that would promote homeownership opportunities to
improve the balance between renter and owner- occupied housing in the City;
the tract map would allow for a residential project that would encourage
redevelopment to improve and maintain the quality of the environment and
neighborhood; and the project would not result in the loss of any habitat, or
require extensive infrastructure improvements to provide service to the site.
The tentative tract map would allow for a new residential project that would
not exceed the Urban Plan's maximum allowable density of 20 units per acre
and, therefore, would be consistent with the General Plan land use
designation of High Density Residential.
Finding: The proposed use of the subdivision is compatible with the General Plan
Facts in Support of Finding: The subject property has a General Plan land
use designation of High Density Residential, which allows a maximum of 20
units per acre. The proposed tentative tract map would allow for a residential
use that would not exceed the maximum density allowed per the General Plan.
Therefore, the proposed use is compatible with the General Plan.
Finding: The subject property is physically suitable to accommodate the subdivision
in terms of type, design, and density of development, and will not result in substantial
environmental damage nor public health problems, based on compliance with the
Zoning Code and General Plan, and consideration of appropriate environmental
information.
Facts in Support of Finding: The existing property is flat and physically
suitable to accommodate four new buildings containing eight residential units.
The combined size of the two lots would also be suitable since the proposed
development would meet the minimum required building setbacks and
driveway length/width. Though the project proposes to deviate from the open
space requirement, the project would include a roof deck and backyard area
for each unit to provide more open space opportunities. The lot would have
Resolution No. 2021-10 Page 5 of 16
one unit per 2,320 square feet of area, which will be consistent with the
maximum density allowed per the High Density Residential General Plan land
use designation as well as the Urban Plan (maximum allowed is one unit per
2,178 square feet). Adequate infrastructure exists to serve the proposed
project and the project would not result in the loss of any habitat, or require
extensive infrastructure improvements to provide service to the site.
Finding: The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future
passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities in the subdivision, as required
by State Government Code Section 66473.1.
Facts in Support of Finding: The tentative tract map would include
approximately 23-percent of open space at grade but would also include open
space areas at second -story balconies and roof decks for a combined total of
40-percent open space, which would comply with the minimum open space
requirement. The subdivision is proposing the most feasible amount of open
space at grade given the narrowness of the existing site as well as the
required areas necessary for compliance with building setbacks, parking —
including minimum interior dimensions for garages — and driveway
width/length. This would accommodate landscaping that can be provided
throughout the site with adequate setbacks and operable windows, which
would provide for natural/passive cooling opportunities. In addition, the
tentative tract map would include a private backyard for each individual unit
ranging from 155 to 375 square feet in size.
Finding: The division and development of the property will not unreasonably
interfere with the free and complete exercise of the public entity and/or public utility
rights -of -way and/or easements within the tract.
Facts in Support of Finding: The project has been reviewed by the Public
Services Department and there are no other conflicts with the City's or other
utility agencies' rights -of -way or other easements. No easements or
dedications would be required for the proposed tract map.
Finding: The discharge of sewage from this subdivision into the public sewer system
will not violate the requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control
Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000 of the Water Code).
Facts in Support of Finding: The lot has been graded in the past and
contains connections to the public sewer system for the existing multi -family
residences onsite. The tract map would allow for a residential project and
would not propose physical changes to the lot that would result in discharge
into the public sewer system in violation of State requirements. Furthermore,
the applicant would be required to comply with all regulations set forth by the
Costa Mesa Sanitation District as well as the Mesa Water District.
C. The project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
Resolution No. 2021-10 Page 6 of 16
(CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (Class 32), In -Fill Development. Under
Class 32, a project site less than five acres in area, no significant environmental
effects, consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code, has adequate utilities to
serve the site, and has no valuable habitat species is exempt from the provisions of
CEQA. The proposed project is 0.43-acre in size which is significantly less than the
five -acre maximum and is also consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code.
Though the project would include deviation, the deviations are permitted under an
approved Master Plan. In addition, the project would not result in significant effects
on the environment or habitat and adequate utilities exist to serve the proposed
project.
D. The project, as conditioned, is consistent with Chapter XII, Article 3, Transportation
System Management, of Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code in that the
development project's traffic impacts would be mitigated at all affected intersections
by the payment of traffic impact fees.
