DepUy City Clerk and ex -officio Clerk of the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa EXHIBIT "A" FINDINGS A. The master plan amendment meets the broader goals of the 2000 General Plan, the North Costa Mesa 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. Specifically, the proposed amendment will reduce the overall building square footage, floor area ratio, and trip budget originally. approved for Home Ranch. The parking lot will be fully improved, including setback and interior landscaping to match the remainder of the IKEA project. B. The information presented substantially complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code section 13-29(g)(2) in that the proposed compact parking is substantially compatible with developments in the same general area. Granting the minor conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the public or other properties or improvements within the immediate vicinity. Specifically, only 20 of the 1,643 parking spaces will be compact and are located in a side parking lot away from the main entry of the building, where the majority of the customers will park. Granting the minor conditional use permit will not allow a use, density or intensity which is not in accordance with the general plan designation and specific plan for the property. - C. Section 15168 (c) (2) of the CEQA guidelines allows a lead agency to use a previously -certified final program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for subsequent activities, if the finding can be made that no new effects would occur and no new mitigation measures would be required. The proposed project is within the scope of Final EIR #1048 for the following reasons: 1. The proposed project will not allow a land use intensity and/or density that would be inconsistent with the corresponding 2000 General Plan land use designation. Therefore, the proposed project will not alter the impact analyses contained in Final EIR #1048. 2. There have not been substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken that would require important revisions to previous final EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental impacts not covered in the previous final EIR. 3. No new information of substantial importance to the project has become available in respect to the significant effects of the project, the severity of the significant effects, the feasibility of the mitigation measures and alternatives, or the identification of new mitigation measures or alternatives that could lessen the significant effects of the project. 4. Because there is no change to the impact analyses contained in Final EIR #1048 and no new information. of substantial importance has ' become available, no new mitigation measures would be required as a result of approval of the project. D. The project is exempt from Chapter XII, Article 3, Transportation System Management, of Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code. EXHIBIT "B" CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Ping. . 1.
