That the proposed development is in conformance with the Village Area of the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the site is designated for residential uses in that the site is designated V -Village which allows for residential development including a single- family home and an ADU. The development consists of a detached, 754-square-foot ADU.

No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the property. Furthermore, the proposed ADU is not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazards.
