The proposed development complies with applicable residential development standards including, but not limited to, floor area limitation, setbacks, height, and parking. a. The maximum floor area limitation is 2,286 square feet and the proposed floor area is 2,282 square feet. b. The proposed development complies with the required setbacks, which are 5 feet along the property line abutting 24th Street, 3 feet along each side property line, and 5 feet along the rear property line. c.

The proposed design, bulk, and scale of the development is consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development and expected future development. 3. The development is set back approximately 390 feet from the mean water tide line. Due to the large distance from coastal waters, a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) and a Construction Pollution Prevention Plan (CPPP) are not required. A post- construction drainage system will be installed that includes drainage and percolation features designed to retain dry weather and minor rain run-off on-site to ensure the project does not impact water quality. Any water not retained on-site is directed to the City’s storm drain system. 4. The property is located in an area known for the potential of seismic activity and liquefaction. All projects are required to comply with the California Building Code (CBC) and Building Division standards and policies. Geotechnical investigations specifically addressing liquefaction are required to be reviewed and approved prior to the issuance of Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2017-069 Page 3 of 5 01-03-17 building permits. Permit issuance is also contingent on the inclusion of design mitigation identified in the investigations. Construction plans are reviewed for compliance with approved investigations and CBC prior to building permit issuance. Finding: B. Conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act if the project is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline of any body of water located within the coastal zone . Fact in Support of Finding: 1. The project site is not located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline and the proposed project will not affect public recreation, access or views.
