DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FINDINGS
1. The physical location, size, massing, and placement of proposed structure on the
site and the location of proposed uses within the project are compatible with and
relate harmoniously to surrounding sites and neighborhoods, ih that commercial
development along Broadway and Santa Monica Boulevard and two and three-
story residential structures on Fourteenth Street and Fifteenth Street characterize
development in the general area. In addition, the proposed three-story project
features a landscaped courtyard design and building stepbacks which reduce the
apparent mass of the proposed project.
2. The rights-of-way can accommodate autos and pedestrians, including parking
and access, in that the project will provide 42 parking spaces in a semi-
subterranean garage with vehicle and pedestrian access from Fourteenth Court
alley and pedestrian access from Fourteenth Street. The proposed project is
expected to generate fewer vehicular trips fhan the existing use.
3. The health and safety services (police, fire, etc.) and public infrastructure (e.g.
utilities) are sufficient to accommodate the. new development, in that adequate
health and safety services and public infrastructure are available to serve the
proposed 19-unit residential project.
4. Any on-site provision of housing or parks and public open space, which are part
of the required project mitigation measures required in Part 9.04.10.12 (Project
Mitigation Measures) of the City of Santa Monica Comprehensive Land Use and
Zoning Ordinance, satisfactorily meet the goals of the mitigation program, in that
the project will not result in the new construction of 15,000 net rentable square
feet or the addition to an existing commercial project of 10,000 net rentable
4
square feet or more of office floor area.
5. The project is generally consistent with the Municipal Code and General Plan, in
that the 19-unit project implements City urban design policies, and provides 19
additional residential units which is consistent with Land Use Element Objective
1.1, to provide adequate housing for City residents of all incomes, and Land Use
Element Policy 1.10 to expand the opportunity for residential land use while
protecting the-scale and character of existing neighborhoods. Redevelopment of
the site with 19 residential units is also consistent with General Plan Housing
Element Goal 1.0, to promote the construction of new housing within the City's
regulative framework.
6. The 19-unit residential project would not result in significant effects on the
environment which cannot be eliminated or substantially lessened.
TRACT MAP FINDINGS
1. The proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans as
specified in Government Code Section 65451. Specifically, while the subject
property is not located in an area governed by a specific plan as specified in
Government Code Section 65451, compliance with the City's General Plan is
required. For the purpose of subdividing the subject parcel, there are two
pertinent policies that must be evaluated with the map; those policies relate to
building height and unit density. As noted and shown on the subject map, the
project complies with applicable policies, including unit density and height
standards for the subject land use designation.
2. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with
applicable general and specific plans. Specifically, while the subject property is
not located in an area governed by a specific plan, compliance with the City's
General Plan is required. As noted and shown on the subject map; the proposed
improvements will not exceed land use designation limits to building height and
unit density.
3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development. Specifically, the.
subject parcel is a standard-sized parcel located within an urbanized area
adequately served by existing roadways and .infrastructure. The property is
physically able to accommodate the proposed development.
4. .The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
Specifically, the subject parcel is a standard-sized parcel located within an
urbanized area adequately served by existing roadways and infrastructure.
Moreover the type of development and unit density is consistent with policies set
forth in the City's General Plan and other improvements in the general vicinity.
5
5. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are .not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure
fish or wildlife or their habitat, in that the proposed subdivision is located in an
urbanized area that does not contain habitats or would otheiwise injure fish and
wildlife.
6. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvement is not likely to cause
serious public health problems. The proposed subdivision is for a property
located in an urbanized area.-and is consistent with other similar improvements in
the area. As noted and shown on the map, the project complies with height and
unit density limitations set forth in the General Plan. The subdivision of the parcel
does not have the potential to disrupt the urban environment or otherwise cause
serious public health problems.
7. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property
within the proposed subdivision in that there are no public easements located
within the proposed subdivision.
8. The proposed subdivision is consistent with any ordinance or law of the City of
Santa Monica. Specifically, the project has demonstrated compliance with
applicable unit density and height limitations set forth in the underlying land use
designation. Moreover, as conditioned, the project must comply with all
applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, which will be comprehensively
evaluated during the City's plan check review process, prior to issuance of a
building permit.
