SUBJECT: PUD 92-01 (E) - COSTA DO SOL (THE COVE)
The City has completed a review of the minor amendment to PUD 92-01 (E) to
change the floor plan types on Lot Nos. 21 and 52, all located within the Costa Do
Sol (The Cove) project in Specific Plan 203 within Local Facilities Management Plan
Zone 20. It is the Planning Director's determination that the project is consistent
with the development standards of the zoning and Specific Plan 203, and therefore,
APPROVES this request based on the findings and conditions contained therein.
Findings:
1. The project is consistent with the General Plan since the amendment will not
change the residential density of the project, and a change in the type of
floor plan on the two lots will not impact land use, circulation, housing, open
space, or recreation.
2. The placement of Floor Plan 2R on Lot Nos. 21 and 52 both relate to the
site, surrounding neighborhood, and environmental setting, in that the homes
have smaller building footprints than the originally approved floor plans and
the homes both meet front, side, and rear yard setbacks, lot coverage,
parking, and the building height standards of the zoning. Planned
Development Ordinance, and Specific Plan 203.
3. The two lots are adequate in size and shape to accommodate the homes, in
that a reasonable sized home, in keeping with the neighborhood, can be
accommodated on the lots. The lots still meet the required development
standards and provide for positive lot drainage around the two homes.
4. The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood,
in that the same floor plans and homes have been approved and constructed
on lots throughout the balance of the project.
5. The project still meets the requirements of City Council Policy for small lot
single-family architecture.

6. The street system serving the proposed land use is adequate to properly
handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the amendment
proposes to only change the design of the homes and does not add additional
residential density or change the land use of the lots.
7. The amendment is consistent with the amendment procedures and
development standards of Specific Plan 203, and meets all City policies and
standards.
8. Due to the minor nature of the amendment, it will not cause any additional
environmental impacts and the Planning Director has determined that the
environmental effects of the project have already been considered in
conjunction with previously certified and adopted environmental documents
(FEIR 90-03) on file in the Planning Department, therefore, the minor
amendment is exempt from CEQA under Section 15182(a): "Residential
Projects Pursuant to a Specific Plan", and Section 15301: "Minor Alteration
to the design of a private structure involving no intensification of land use
previously approved".

Permit Amendment for PUD 92-01 (E) entitled "Costa Do Sol" as shown on

make all corrections and modifications to the approved Documents, as
necessary to make them internally consistent and conform to the Planning
Director's final action on the project. Development shall occur substantially
as shown on the approved exhibit. Any proposed development substantially
different from this approval, shall require an amendment to this approval.
