Resolution No. 17-56 Page 3 of 16
EXHIBIT A
FINDINGS (APPROVAL)
A. The proposed project complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-
29(g)(14) because:
Finding: The project complies with the City of Costa Mesa Zoning Code and meets
the purpose and intent of the Residential Design Guidelines, which are intended to
promote design excellence in new residential construction, with consideration being
given to compatibility with the established residential community. This design review
includes site planning, preservation of overall open space, landscaping, appearance,
mass and scale of structures, location of windows, varied roof forms and roof plane
breaks, and any other applicable design features.
Facts in Support of Findings: The design of the two-story homes complies
with the building mass and form, window placement, setbacks, elevation
treatments, and architectural consistency guidelines. The proposed
residences include elevations with varied roof forms and elevation treatments
to enhance visual interest. The buildings are placed on the property with
sufficient setbacks to provide private useable open space and minimizes the
potential privacy impacts to surrounding properties. The location of the units
takes into consideration the rear yards of the abutting homes and places the
buildings away from the neighboring residence located to the northwest and
has sufficient buffer between the residences located to the southeast. The
exterior elevations of the proposed homes incorporate second -story porches
away from sensitive views of neighboring residences, and enhanced windows
to provide visual interest.
Finding: The visual prominence associated with the construction of a two-story
house or addition in a predominantly single -story neighborhood has been reduced
through appropriate transitions between the first and second floors and the provision
of second floor offsets to avoid flat two-story walls.
Facts in Support of Finding: The subject site is in a neighborhood with both
single -story and two-story residences. The elevations of the proposed
residences include a combination of horizontal and vertical siding and stucco,
which provides a vertical break between the first and second story and
diminishes a boxy appearance from the street, for both residences.
Resolution No. 17-56 Page 4 of 16
B. The proposed project 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 creation of the subdivision is consistent
with General Plan Land Use Objectives LU -1A, LU -4A, and Policy LU -1.3 in
that adequate infrastructure exists to serve the proposed project; the project
promotes homeownership opportunities to improve the balance between
renter and owner occupied housing in the City; and the project would not result
in the loss of any habitat, or require extensive infrastructure improvements to
provide service to the site. The project design complies with development
standards of the Small Lot Subdivision Ordinance.
Finding: The proposed use of the subdivision is compatible with the General Plan.
Facts in Support of Finding: The proposed project has a density of 13.91
dwelling units per acre, consistent with the General Plan designation of
Medium Density Residential, which allows 20 dwelling units per acre.
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 project is exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15303 (Class 3), New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. The project complies with
the maximum allowed density for the site and provides adequate open space,
parking and setbacks from adjacent properties.
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 project provides private open space areas
under partial roof canopies and incorporates landscaping, such as trees, to
ensure natural and passive heating and cooling from the sun exposure. In
addition, window placement for both units is maximized on the northwestern
side of the units to minimize sun exposure. The project also provides private
open space areas under entry porches.
Finding: The subdivision 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.
Resolution No. 17-56 Page 5 of 16
Facts in Support of Finding: The proposed project does not interfere with
the public right of way. A 2.5 -foot wide dedication for alley purposes is
required to ensure the public access along the rear portion of the subject site.
Furthermore, a 6 -foot wide access easement along the side of the front
property will ensure public access to the front door of the rear residence.
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 applicant will be required to comply with
all regulations set forth by the Costa Mesa Sanitation District as well as the
Mesa Water District.
D. Finding: The project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act under Section 15303 (Class 3) for New Construction or Conversion of Small
Structures.
Facts in Support of Finding: In urbanized areas, up to three single-family
residences may be constructed under the Class 3 exemption. The project
proposes to construct two residential units and therefore qualifies for a Class
3 exemption.
E. The project is exempt from Chapter XII, Article 3 Transportation System
Management, of Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code.
