C-91-26 Findings for Design Review Permit approval per Chapter 23.08.072 (et. seq.) of the Encinitas Municipal Code. (Case No. 91-167DR) 1) The project design is consistent with the General Plan, a Specific Plan and the provisions of the Municipal Code. Evidence: The Cardiff-by-the-Sea Community Advisory Board finds that the addition and remodel for the animal clinic conforms to the allowed uses specified in the Municipal Code. The project conforms to setback requirements specified for the Specific Plan overlay area which permit a zero side yard setback. The zero side yard setback is found to be consistent wi th other commercial property in the area and affords a building layout design that increases the front yard to permit more area for landscaping and setbacks to buffer the structure from San Elijo Avenue. Parking, signage, lighting, building design, and site layout conform to the requirements of the Municipal (Zoning) Code and the city's adopted Design Review Guidelines in that the project utilizes the area of the lot in a manner compatible with the constraints of the existing structure on the lot and the building, landscape, lighting, and parking designs complements surrounding commercial structures in the area. 2) The project design is substantially consistent with the Design Review Guidelines. Evidence: The Board finds that the proposed project satisfies the intent of the Design Review Guidelines in that the building and site designs take advantage of the site's potential and address the constraints of the site in relation to the existing building's layout and the addition's design and placement. Landscaping, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, sign design, and lighting and screening of the site tend to buffer the building from San Elijo Avenue and complement existing commercial structures in the area. The project provides security by its exterior lighting design, buffers the building with landscaped areas, and screens roof mounted mechanical equipment and trash receptacle areas with appropriate structures. 3) The project will not adversely affect the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. Evidence: The Board finds that all utility services including water and sewer services are available to the site and no evidence has been presented to indicate that the current use, which is proposed to be continued, would pose any adverse impact to the health, safety, or general wel fare of the community. 4) The proj ect will not tend to cause the surrounding neighborhood to depreciate materially in appearance or value. Evidence: The Board finds that the variety in exterior materials and colors of the project will complement surrounding commercial structures in the area. The remodel and addition to the existing structure provides architectural variation to the building's exterior and the proposed landscaping will buffer the structure to the San Elijo Avenue frontage in a manner compatible with the location of the structure at a prominent intersection wi thin the Cardiff business district.
