SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS. In accordance with NBMC Section 21.52.015 (Coastal Development Permits, Findings and Decision), the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth: Finding: A. Conforms to all applicable sections of the certified Local Coastal Program. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The proposed development complies with applicable development standards identified by the PC-1 Development Plan and the proposed design is in substantial conformance with the approved site plan. a. The project is within the confines of the manufactured home site lines. b. The project has been reviewed and approved by the Manufactured Home Owner, as evidenced by the Application for Permit to Construct included with the application. c. The project includes a parking area for one vehicle, complying with the minimum parking requirement per site. 2.

The building codes for construction and installation of a manufactured home are contained within the California Health and Safety Code. The State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (³HCD´) issues all construction permits. The applicant has provided evidence of approval from the State, as well as the Manufactured Home Owner. Finding: B. Conforms to 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. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The project site is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline, and the existing residential development neither provides nor inhibits public coastal access. NBMC Section 21.30A.040 (Determination of Public Access/Recreation Impacts) requires that the provision of public access bear a reasonable relationship between the requirement DQGWKHSURMHFW¶VLPSDFWDQGEHSURSRUWLRQDOWRWKHLPSDFW,QWKLVFDVHWKHSURMHFWUHSODFHV an existing single-family manufactured home within an existing mobile/manufactured home park with a new single-family manufactured home. Therefore, the project does not involve a change in land use, density or intensity that will result in increased demand on public access and recreation opportunities. 2. Bayside Drive bisects the northern and southern parcels of the Bayside Village Mobile Home Park and provides access to the Newport Dunes, which houses several coastal UHFUHDWLRQDORSSRUWXQLWLHVIRUWKHSXEOLF¶VXVH 3. The mobile/manufactured home park abuts Coast Highway, a public coastal view road. It is separated from the public right-of-way by an existing site wall that is approximately 7 feet tall and provides for limited views across. An investigation of the project site and surrounding area did not identify any other public view opportunities. The project site may be located within the viewshed of distant public viewing areas. However, the project will replace an existing single-family manufactured home with a new single-family manufactured home that complies with all applicable Local Coastal Program development standards and maintains a building envelope consistent with the existing pattern of development. Therefore, the project does not have the potential to degrade the visual quality of the coastal zone or result in significant adverse impacts to public views.
