Exhibit A - Findings
Exhibit B - LCPA Filed as PA2022-0245 and PA2024-0205

EXHIBIT A

FINDINGS
The City Council finds amendments to the LCP are legislative acts. Neither Title 21 nor State Planning Law set forth any required findings for either approval or denial of such amendments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Local Coastal Program Amendment ("LCPA") is consistent with the corresponding General Plan Amendment and Zoning Code Amendment, adopted by City Council Resolution No. 2024-51 and Ordinance No. 2024-16, respectively. The LCPA will also create internal consistency with the Housing Element:

Findings and Facts in Support of Finding:

1. The Housing Element includes Section 4 (Housing Plan), which sets forth programs and strategies to facilitate and encourage the development of the City's obligation to meet regional housing demand. Appendix B of the Housing Element is the Sites Analysis and identifies several sites to be rezoned to allow for potential redevelopment with housing projects. A number of these sites are within the City's Coastal Zone. As Title 20 has been amended to add the new HO Overlay Zones with associated development standards, similarly, the amendment to Title 21 to add the new Housing Opportunity (HO) Overlay Coastal Zoning Districts for properties within the Coastal Zone has been prepared and submitted to the California Coastal Commission for consideration.

2. The amendment specific to Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) of the NBMC, attached hereto as Exhibit "B," and incorporated herein by reference, will create consistency in implementation between Titles 20 and 21 of the NBMC and will help to fulfill the Housing Plan, as the proposed LCPA will facilitate the development of housing consistent with the implementation program in the Housing Plan of the Housing Element, as discussed in Resolution No. 2024-51 under the Findings for the General Plan Amendment. The LCPA will enable the implementation of the Housing Element's key objective , which is to accommodate the development of housing projects to fulfill City' s "fair share" of regional housing need and demand.

A. MHP (Mobile Home Park) Overlay Coastal Zoning District. The MHP Overlay Coastal Zoning District is intended to establish a mobile home district on parcels of land developed with mobile home parks.

The specific areas are identified in Part 8 of this Implementation Plan (Maps) .

E. H (Height) Overlay District. The H Overlay District is intended to establish standards for review of increased building height in conjunction with the provision of enhanced project design features and amenities.

F. HO (Housing Opportunity) Overlay Coastal Zoning Districts. The HO Overlay Coastal Zoning Districts are intended to accommodate housing opportunities consistent with the Housing Element's focus areas and to ensure the City can meet its allocation of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) .
