following findings and subject to the following conditions:
PCRESONO. 6813 -2-
Findings:
2
3 1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal
Program and all applicable policies in that the project consists of remodeling an
existing two-unit residential apartment building on a previously graded and
5 developed lot; no agricultural activities, geological instability, flood hazard, or
coastal access opportunities exist onsite and the development does not obstruct
views of the coastline as seen from public lands or Ocean Street or otherwise
' damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. The subject site has an LCP Land Use
8 Plan designation of RH (Residential High), which allows for a density of 15 - 23
q du/acre and 19 dwelling units per acre at the Growth Management Control Point
(GMCP). The project density of 16.66 du/ac is consistent with the RH General Plan
10 Land Use designation as discussed in the staff report. Therefore the project is
I consistent with the Mello II Segment of the LCP.
• 2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3
13 of the Coastal Act in that while the property is located adjacent to the shore, the
project will not interfere with the public's right to physical access as there are
vertical shore line public access points in close proximity to the north and south of
the project site. The project has been conditioned to dedicate a lateral beach access
16 easement for a minimum of 25 feet of dry sandy beach at all times of the year to the
. _, California Coastal Commission or their designee as agreed to with the California
Coastal Commission.
18
3. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay
Zone (Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the
20 City's Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, Standard
21 Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff
22 Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil
erosion. The site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to
23 accelerated erosion, floods, or liquefaction. The existing slopes do not support any
24 endangered plant/animal species and/or coastal sage scrub, chaparral plant communities,
or native vegetation.
26 4. That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects
27 that the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the
environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the
2° preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15301(e)(l) Additions to
Existing Structures (Class 1) Categorical Exemption of the state CEQA Guidelines. In
making this determination, the Planning Director has found that the exceptions listed in
Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
5. This project is not located in the Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone, according to Map X
of the Land Use Plan, certified September 1990 and, therefore, is not subject to the
provisions of the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.202 of the Zoning
Ordinance).
6. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed
