ATTACHMENT "A"
RESOLUTION NO. 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.
