Exhibit A RECOMMENDED FINDINGS OF FACT FOR APPROVAL OF PLN17-0049 342 Marina Boulevard 75-82-10 G.K. Wong, GKW Architects, Inc. (applicant) c/o property owner Planned Development 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The proposed location, with the approval of the rezoning from an RM-1800 District to RM- 1800(PD) District, will be a residential subdivision within an existing residential neighborhood including, multi-story, multi-family residential, single-family residential and duplex development. The planned development is medium-high density residential equaling one unit per 2,000 square feet (six units on 12,000 square feet).

The proposed residential use protects the character of the surrounding area by providing a density and massing of structures that is in the range of the surrounding development. 2.
