The proposed athletic facility, maintenance building and ball field is consistent with the surrounding development of single-family residences and a mixed-use development. The proposed development will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way, nor otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the property. The project site is not located in an area of known geologic instability of flood hazard. The site is located in close proximity to the coast, but no public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site. The site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities. 2.
