Resolution No. 2024-14 Page 3 of 13
A. The proposed project complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-29(e) —
Review Criteria in that:
Costa Mesa Municipal Code section 13-29 (e) Review Criteria —
"Compatible and harmonious relationship between the proposed building and
site development, and use(s), and the building and site developments, and
uses that exist or have been approved for the -general neighborhood".
The proposed use is compatible and harmonious with developments in the same
general area in that the restaurant would replace an existing commercial use that
is generally surrounded by other commercial and industrial uses. The use as
conditioned is not expected to generate excessive noise, traffic, odors or other
detrimental effects on the surrounding uses. Per Condition of Approval No. 34,
the use shall be conducted, at all times, in a manner that will allow the quiet
enjoyment of the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, the applicant and/or
business owner shall institute appropriate security and operational measures
necessary to comply with this requirement.
"Safety and compatibility of the design of buildings, parking area, landscaping,
luminaries and other site features which may include functional aspects of the
site development such as automobile and pedestrian circulation".
The project includes the development of a new building, parking areas and
landscaping. Pedestrian access to the site is provided at the intersection of East
16th Street and Old Newport Boulevard with a walkway leading to the restaurant
patio area and the restaurant entrance. A traffic study was submitted with the
project that determined the proposed drive -through lanes would accommodate
the maximum anticipated vehicle queue and the restaurant operations would not
result in a significant change in intersection LOS. Pursuant to Condition of
Approval No. 6, if parking shortages or other parking -related problems occur, the
operator must institute appropriate operational measures necessary to minimize
or eliminate the problem. The Police Department has reviewed the proposed
project and suggested requiring on -site security guards from 9 P.M. to closure for
the first year of operation (the applicant has agreed to provide this security).
"Compliance with any performance standards as prescribed elsewhere in the
Zoning Code"
The proposed project is in compliance with the Zoning Code and the project
proposed deviations, as described in the staff report, are allowed subject to
standards and findings.
Resolution No. 2024-14 Page 4 of 13
"Consistency with the general plan and any applicable specific plan
The proposed commercial restaurant use is located on an existing commercial
property that has a General Plan land use classification of "General Commercial".
The project site is located within the "19 West Plan Urban Plan"; however, the
applicant is not applying for a Master Plan Mixed -Use development, so the design
guidelines within the Urban Plan do not apply.
"The planning application is for a project -specific case and is not to be
construed to be setting a precedent for future development"
The application is for a project -specific case to construct a fast-food restaurant
on an existing commercial lot. The project meets all applicable development
standards and design guidelines for commercial structures in the C2 zoning
district and is consistent with the general plan land use designation of "General
Commercial". The proposed development would not be precedent -setting as
each application is reviewed on a case -by -case basis.
B. The proposed project complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-29(g)(2)
— Minor Conditional Use Permit in that:
"The proposed development or use is substantially compatible with
developments in the same general area and would not be materially
detrimental to other properties within the area' .
The proposed use is compatible and harmonious with developments in the same
general area in that the restaurant would replace an existing commercial use
that is surrounded by other commercially zoned properties. The use as
conditioned will not generate excessive noise, odor, traffic or other detrimental
effects on the surrounding uses. Per Condition of Approval No. 34, the use shall
be conducted, at all times, in a manner that will allow the quiet enjoyment of the
surrounding neighborhood.
"Granting the minor conditional use permit will not be materially detrimental
to the health, safety, and general welfare of the public or otherwise injurious
to property or improvements within the immediate neighborhood' .
The project proposes a new commercial use on an existing developed commercial
property. The project has been reviewed for potential effects to public health, safety,
traffic, parking, noise and odor. Specific analysis was also completed for potential
effects to a nearby residential development and concluded that no significant impacts
would result.
"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 any
applicable specific plan for the property' .
Resolution No. 2024-14 Page 5 of 13
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 the applicable
Urban Plan for the property. The project is a permitted use and, as conditioned,
the drive -through restaurant will not generate noise, odor, traffic or parking effects
unusual for a commercially zoned property. Lastly, the proposed project is
consistent with applicable policies and objectives of the 2015-2035 General Plan
as described in the staff report.
C. The proposed project complies with Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-29(g)(6)
— Minor Modification in that:
The proposed project complies with the applicable Costa Mesa Municipal Code
Section 13-29(g)(6) — Minor Modification:
"The improvement will not be materially detrimental to the health, safety and
general welfare of persons residing or working within the immediate vicinity of
the project or to property and improvements within the neighborhood' .
The project proposes a minor modification for the new building to encroach into the
20-foot required front/landscape setback. The encroachment is Limited to only a small
portion of the building, and the encroachment does not result in a perceived shortage
in landscaping or significant building mass along the street frontage. Therefore, the
proposed encroachment would not result in detrimental effects to public health,
safety, and general welfare.
"The improvement is compatible and enhances the architecture and design of
the existing and anticipated development in the vicinity. This includes the site
planning, land coverage, landscaping, appearance, scale of structures, open
space and any other applicable features relative to a compatible and attractive
development" ;
The project design includes a new building and associated site improvements that
enhances the existing and anticipated development in the vicinity. The project site
planning, land coverage, landscaping, appearance, scale of structures and open
space is not inhibited by the proposed minor modification encroachment.
