Findings:
12 1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal
13 Program and all applicable policies in that the site is designated for single-family

otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone; and no agricultural
i/- activities, sensitive resources, geological instability, or coastal access opportunities
exist on the previously subdivided lots.
17
2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3

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 recreational activities.

21 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
22 Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff
Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil
erosion. No steep slopes or native vegetation is located on the subject property and the
24 site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion,
floods, or liquefaction.
25

CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 or 15163 exist.
