EXHIBIT "A"
FINDINGS
A. The master plan meets the broader goals of the General 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. Specifically,
The building addition is proposed to match the existing building in terms of
materials and architecture. The addition will be set back a sufficient distance from
adjacent residential properties so as to be reasonably compatible and harmonious.
An effort will be made to retain as many of the existing mature trees on the site as
possible.
B. The proposed project complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-29(e)
because:
• The proposed development and use is compatible and harmonious with uses
both on-site as well as with those on surrounding properties.
• Safety and compatibility of the design of the buildings, parking areas,
landscaping, luminaries, and other site features including functional aspects of
the site development such as automobile and pedestrian circulation have been
considered.
• The proposed project complies with applicable performance standards
prescribed in the Zoning Code.
• The project is consistent with the General Plan.
• The planning application is for a project -specific case and does not establish a
precedent for future development.
C. The information presented complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code section 13-
29(g)(2) in that the reduction in parking and the provision of 4 compact parking
stalls will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the public
or other properties or improvements within the immediate vicinity. Specifically,
veterinary services would not be considered the same as medical services for
purposes of calculating parking demand. The net increase in the exam and
treatment areas for the new building is offset by the elimination of these facilities in
the existing building. Also, the parking reduction will also allow for greater
preservation of existing on-site landscaping, retaining the rural character of the
property. No parking shortages or congestion is anticipated as a result of this use.
D. The project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines, and the City environmental procedures,
and has been found to be exempt from CEQA.
E. The project, as conditioned, is consistent with Chapter IX, Article 11,
Transportation System Management, of Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code
in that the development project's traffic impacts will be mitigated by the payment of
traffic impact fees.
