Findings:
CDP 14-01
1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and
all applicable policies in that the subject site has an LCP Land Use Plan designation of
^ Residential Low-Medium (RLM), which allows for a density of 0-4 du/acre and 3.2 du/acre at
the Growth Management Control Point (GMCP). The project density of 3.03 du/ac is
5 consistent with the RLM General Plan Land Use designation. The project consists of the
construction of 26 new single family residences with attached two car garages in an area
7 designated for residential development. The proposed one and two story, single-family
residences are compatible with the surrounding development of one and two-story single-
8 family structures. The one and two story residences 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
9 the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently exist on the previously graded site, nor are
there any sensitive resources located on the developable portion of the site. The proposed
10 single-family residences are not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood
hazard. Since the site does not have frontage along the coastline, no public opportunities for
11 coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site. Furthermore, the residentially
designated site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities.
The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act in that the site is not located adjacent to the shore. Therefore, the project will not
interfere with the public's right to physical access to the sea and the site is not suited for
water-oriented recreation activities.
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 City's Master
Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, Standard Urban Storm Water
27 Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program (JURMP) to
avoid increased urban run-off, pollutants and soil erosion. In addition, the site is not located
28 in an area prone to landslides or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction.
29 4. The project is not located between the sea and the first public road parallel to the sea and,
therefore, is not subject to the provisions of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone
20 (Chapter 21.201 of the Zoning Ordinance.
21 SUP 14-01
22 5. The proposed project conforms to the intent of the Scenic Preservation Overlay in that as
discussed in Section D of the staff report, the project complies with the provisions of the El
23 Camino Real Corridor Development Standards. Specifically, the proposed single family
residential project supports the residential design theme of Area 3 along the scenic corridor
24 and the dwelling units are adequately setback from El Camino Real. Furthermore, No homes
are proposed within 100' of the ROW. All of lot 1 and a portion of lots 2, and 21-26 are
between 100 and 200' of the ROW. Lot 1, 21 and 23 are single story homes less than 25' in
height. The remaining homes are less than 25' in height for the portion located within 100' -
200' of the ROW as required by the El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards. The R-l
zone restricts homes to 30' in height and therefore all homes within 200'-300' of the ROW are
under 35' in height as required by the El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards.

6. The proposed project implements the goals and objectives of the General Plan in that the
property is proposed to be developed with 26 single-family homes (3.03 du/ac) which is
consistent with the Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM) land use designation (0-4 du/ac).
7. The City Planner has determined that:
d. the project has no new significant environmental effect not analyzed as significant in the
prior Mitigated Negative Declaration; and
5 a. the project is a project for which a Mitigated Negative Declaration was previously
adopted for Tabata 10 - GPA 06-04/LCPA 06-02/ZC 06-03/CT 06-13/SUP 06-08/HDP 07-
5 03/CDP 06-19;
7 b. this project is consistent with the project/plan cited above;
8 c. a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted in connection with the prior project or
plan;
9
10
11
none of the circumstances requiring a Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration
22 under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 or 15163 exist.
13 8. 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 to
14 mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree
of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
