FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.00-05:
1. Coastal Development Permit No. 00-05 for the development project, as proposed or as modified
by conditions of approval, conforms with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program.
The subject site is designated in the General Plan Land Use Element as Open Space -Shore and
has a zoning designation of Downtown Specific Plan -District #11 (Beach Open Space) which
permit coastal and recreational uses as well as ancillary buildings such as the proposed Beach
Public Services Facility. The project will not impact public views or access to coastal resources

same location. It is consistent with the following goals, policies, and objectives in the General
Plan:
a. Require that structures located in the City's parks and other open spaces be designed to
maintain the environmental character in which they are located. (Policy LU 14.1.3)

recreation opportunities by providing a modern facility more suited to meet the needs of beach
users.
