TITLE: FEE RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN-LIEU FEE SCHEDULE

DEPARTMENT: ECONOMIC AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT/PLANNING

PRESENTED BY: AMBER GREGG, CONTRACT PLANNER

CONTACT INFORMATION: AMBER GREGG, CONTRACT PLANNER, (714) 754-5617

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Find that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15061(b)(3) (“General Rule”).

2. Adopt a fee resolution establishing the affordable housing in-lieu fee.

BACKGROUND:

The City is currently considering, for second reading, the adoption of an Affordable Housing Ordinance.

The Affordable Housing Ordinance would require , among other regulations, that new rental housing projects in the City with 50 or more units provide a percentage of its housing units as “affordable” units for low or very low-income households. As the Ordinance is currently drafted, a n applicant of a rental housing project can fulfill their affordable obligation with onsite production of affordable rental units, offsite production of affordable rental units, dedication of land to the City, or by payment of in-lieu fees.

At the April 2, 2024, City Council meeting, the City Council considered an in -lieu fee resolution to establish an affordable housing in-lieu fee schedule. At the meeting, the City Council directed staff to defer the in -lieu fee resolution to a later date. The April 2, 2024, City Council report and video are linked below:

DISCUSSION

City Council Study Session on Proposed In-Lieu Fee Amounts

As part of their first reading of the Affordable Housing Ordinance discussions, the City Council directed staff to provide an in-lieu housing fee analysis for their review and consideration at the second reading of the ordinance. The proposed in-lieu fee analysis was presented to the City Council at a study session on February 27, 2024. During the study session, staff and Keyser Marston Associates (KMA) presented the proposed fee schedule as well as an explanation of the fee calculations. The City Council also received public comments, asked staff and KMA follow-up questions, and provided their comments on the proposed fees and overall vision for the proposed Affordable Housing Ordinance.

Public comments as well as the C ity Council’s feedback from the February 27, 2024 study session expressed the need to ensure that Costa Mesa is competitive with nearby cities , can attract housing developers for the creation of housing in the community, and the Affordable Housing Ordinance should not result in an impediment to the production of housing in the City . Discussions included comparing the City’s proposed in -lieu fee amounts with the City of Santa Ana (who has seen success with their affordable housing production program) and concerns that the City’s proposed fee amounts were too high. The City’s expert housing consultant, KMA, clarified that Santa Ana did not determine their in-lieu fee amounts based on a fee study or financial impact analysis; and therefore, is not equivalent to their onsite production requirements. In contrast, Costa Mesa’s proposed fee amounts are derived from the pending Affordable Housing Ordinance requirements so that the fees are equivalent to producing the affordable units onsite. While the City Council could consider lowering the in -lieu fee amounts below equivalency to producing the onsite units, doing so would possibly result in housing developers of more than 50 rental units choosing to pay the in-lieu fees rather than developing the affordable units.

Fee Resolution to Establish the Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Amounts

Included with this Agenda Report is a fee resolution to adopt the in-lieu fee amounts as shown in Table 1 below. The proposed fee amount s are based on the proposed Affordable Housing Ordinance requirement set aside percentages.

Table 1 – Proposed Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Amounts

In-Lieu Fee Payment Schedule Per Square Foot of Total
Leasable Area in an Apartment Development
Developments greater than 60
units per acre
Developments less than 60
units per acre
$19.50 PSF $13.80 PSF

Previously, the proposed in -lieu fee payment schedule provided fee amounts for developments of 15 units to 21+ units; however, modifications to the Affordable Housing Ordinance now establishes the applicability threshold to developments with 50 dwelling units or more. Due to this, only one fee amount for each category is proposed. I n addition, the previous in -lieu fee payment schedule included an “ownership housing development” fee category which has also been eliminated pursuant to the ownership housing development applicability removal from the Ordinance.

The fee resolution also includes a schedule of fractional in -lieu fee payments for developers that choose this option for fulfilling an obligation to produce a fraction of an Inclusionary Unit. The fractional in-lieu fee schedule is included in Attachment 2.

Comparison of Other Cities In-Lieu Fee Amounts

To provide the City Council w ith additional comparisons of other cities’ affordable housing in -lieu fee amounts, refer to Table 2. As shown in the Table, there is no standard to establish an affordable housing in-lieu fee amount or fee structure. As shown in the table below, the in-lieu fees could be based on a sliding scale, flat fee per square foot, incremental increase over time, and/or a formula based on certain variables. The City of Encinitas more recently increased their fees from $20 per square foot to $23.79 per square foot . Encinitas also adjusts their fee administratively based on the percentage change in the most current Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for the Los Angeles region. The City of San Diego adopted a program that included an incremental increase to their in-lieu fee amounts each fiscal year with the current fee set at $25 per square foot.

Table 2 – Comparison of Other Cities In-Lieu Fee Amounts Santa Ana
 5-9 Units: $6 per sq. ft.
 10-14 Units: $9 per sq. ft.
 15-19 Units: $12 per sq. ft.

 2024 in-lieu fee increased to $25 per sq. ft.
 Affordability Requirement:

o 10 to 15% Moderate – Ownership
1 Sliding scale is based on a percentage of the adopted in-lieu fee amount depending on the number of units. For example, one unit project would be required to pay 14% of the in-lieu fee dollar amount. 2 Formula is based on land value, density, and percentage share of cost related to affordable units no t being produced. 3 Prior to July 1, 2020, the in -lieu fee was established at $12.73 per sq. ft. and has increased every fiscal year (2021 - $15.18, 2022 - $17.64, 2023 – $20.09)

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may adopt the fee resolution, modify the proposed fee schedule, or not adopt the fee resolution.

The City Council may also consider implementing the in-lieu fee schedule incrementally, similar to the City of San Diego. The City of San Diego initially set the in-lieu fee at a lower amount and over a five- year period, increased the fee to its eventual rate. The fee increased $12.27 over the five-year period.

The fee is then updated annually based on the annual increase in the Construction Costs Index (CCI) published by Engineering News Record for Los Angeles, or similar construction industry index selected by the City Manager if the CCI index is discontinued. The Council could consider initially setting the fee at a lower rate and establish a schedule for increases over any specified period of time until the preferred maximum fee amount is met. For example, the Council may evaluate a fee of $12 in year one, with increases over a 10-year period to an eventual amount of $19.50 per applicable square foot (as currently proposed for development with 60 dwelling units or more per acre) and include an annual 1130

Item #: 24-229 Meeting Date: 06/18/2024

Page 5 of 5 ends

update to the fee based on changes in the Orange County home values or similar value related industry index.

FISCAL REVIEW:

Should the City Council adopt the in -lieu housing fee resolution, the City could potentially receive revenue from payment of fees that would be deposited into a Housing Trust Fund (Fund 226) to support and promote affordable housing programs in the City, i ncluding the administration of the City’s Affordable Housing Program.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The proposed fee resolution, and this report have been prepared in conjunction with and approved by the City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

Pursuant to Government Code Section 66016, the proposed fee schedule and fee study was made available to the public 15 days prior to the June 18, 2024, City Council meeting.

Public comments received prior to the June 18, 2024, City Council meeting may be viewed at this link:

CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

This item supports the City Council's Goal to Diversify, Stabilize, and Increase Housing to Reflect Community Needs in that the adoption of an Affordable Housing Ordinance , and subsequent in -lieu fee, assists in achieving the City’s RHNA for the very -low-, low-, and moderate -income categories, coupled with the other Housing Element programs intended to remove or reduce existing barriers and constraints to market-rate housing developments.

CONCLUSION:

A component of an Affordable Housing Ordinance is the establishment of an in-lieu fee for applicants wishing to fulfill their affordable housing requirements by paying an in-lieu fee rather than providing the affordable units on-site. The proposed fees are based on the KMA analysis , including the set aside percentages previously considered by the City Council . However, the City Council may decide alternative fee amounts may be more appropriate at this time. If the proposed fees are not approved, staff seeks direction from the City Council as to what the In-lieu housing fee schedule should be.

PRESENTED BY: NANCY HUYNH, PRINCIPAL PLANNER
CONTACT INFORMATION: NANCY HUYNH, PRINCIPAL PLANNER, (714) 754-5609 RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the Council:

1. Find that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15061(b)(3) (“General Rule”).

2. Give second reading to and adop t Ordinance No. 2024-02 approving the Affordable Housing Ordinance and amending Title 13 to establish the affordable housing requirements for new residential development projects.

3. Adopt a fee resolution establishing the affordable housing in-lieu fee schedule.

BACKGROUND:

Based on recent housing data analyzed in the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element, it has been shown that half of renters in Costa Mesa experience housing cost burdens. Because these lower income households are “priced out”, they tend to move into more crowded living conditions to reduce their housing expenses, move further away for cheaper housing at the exp ense of longer commute times, move out of the state, or unfortunately, enter into homelessness. An affordable, or inclusionary, housing policy is a key tool that cities throughout the United States have adopted to address housing affordability in their com munities. To address this affordable housing issue , Housing Program 2A (Inclusionary Housing Ordinance) of the Housing Element was included to “analyze the market impacts and potential affordability requirements for an inclusionary housing requirement for specific projects” in the City.
2021-2029 Housing Element

Item #: 24-102 Meeting Date: 03/19/2024

While the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) approved the City’s adopted Housing Element, it has not been deemed in substantial compliance with State housing law until specific housing programs have been implemented. The 40 housing programs included in the Housing Element are intended to increase housing production while also addressing housing affordability for all income levels. T hese housing programs would remove ba rriers to housing developments and reform current zoning regulations that may currently encumber housing production in the City.

Implementation of Program 2A (adoption of an inclusionary housing ordinance) is required for the City to maintain compliance with State housing laws. If the City does not implement Program 2A, the State could find the City’s Housing Element out of compliance and in violation of State housing laws. This could leave the City vulnerable to legal challenges from the State and potent ially result in significant legal fees to defend against any litigation. In addition, the HCD has the ability to penalize the City with fines up to $100,000 per month if the City’s Housing Element is determined to be in violation of State housing law.

The City could also lose local control over land use and permitting decisions including the authority to issue building permits for any type of projects or improvements. Such has been the case in the City of Beverly Hills and more locally, San Clemente. Lastly, without a certified Housing Element, the City risks continued ineligibility for receipt of State and County funding sources or loan programs that could support housing programs including gap funding assistance for 100% affordable housing projects such as Jamboree Housing’s proposed Senior Center housing project.

Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
California’s RHNA is the basis for determining the State’s future housing need by income category and is based on growth in population, households, and employment. For the 2021 -2029 6th Housing Element, the City was allocated 11,760 housing units to accomm odate the City’s projected housing needs, with more than half of those housing units required to be affordable. The City’s RHNA allocation is divided amongst four income categories, which are benchmarked on the County of Orange’s median income for a famil y of four. Table 1 below identifies the four income categories by which the City’s RHNA allocation is divided.

Table 1 – City of Costa Mesa RHNA by Income Category
Adoption of an Affordable Housing Ordinance (AHO) would assist in achieving the City’s RHNA for the very-low-, low-, and moderate-income categories, coupled with the other Housing Element programs intended to remove or reduce existing barriers and constraints to market-rate housing developments.

An “Incentive-Based” Program
1137
Item #: 24-102 Meeting Date: 03/19/2024

Page 3 of 10 ends

The City’s proposed Affordable Housing Program has been structured as an “incentive -based program”.

To implement the Affordable Housing Program, the City would rezone non -residentially zoned properties located along major corridors to allow for higher density housing with reduced parking requirements and the allowance of affordable rents for low income units to be calculated based on 80% of the area median income (AMI) where 60% is required under state density bonus law . Adding residential development as an allowed use at higher densities creates land value and incentivize s housing production overall . That value is coupled with a requirement to provide a portion of the project’s units as affordable housing. This program structure is in effect a local density bonus program.

The rezone and increase in density create opportunities for new homes that presently do not exist because of the lack of available properties that allow residential uses and the historically low maximum allowable density in Costa Mesa (maximum of 20 units per acre pursuant to the City’s General P lan).

Rezoning would create value and thus, incentivizing landowners to sell commercial and industrial properties to housing developers and incentivize housing developers to build.

DISCUSSION
City Council First Reading
On January 16, 2024, the City Council considered the Planning Commission’s recommendations, discussed the draft ordinance, and made further changes to the draft including:
 Establishing a minimum threshold project size for application of the affordability requirements;  Requiring the onsite production of affordable units for rental projects with over 50 units;  Allowing payment of in-lieu affordable housing fees for rental projects with fewer than 50 units;  Allowing payment of in-lieu affordable housing fees for ownership projects; and  Allowing a residential project for which the City enters into a development agreement to provide affordable housing or other community benefits equivalent to the Affordable Housing Ordinance requirements.

The City Council voted 4 -2 (Councilmember Chavez an d Mayor Pro Tem Harlan voting no; Councilmember Harper absent) to give first reading of Ordinance No. 2024 -02. The January 16, 2024 City Council agenda report, meeting video, and public comments are included in the links below:

City Council Study Session on Proposed In-Lieu Fee Amounts As part of their first reading discussion, the City Council directed staff to provide an in-lieu housing fee analysis for their review and consideration at the second reading of the ordinance. The proposed in - lieu fee analysis has been presented to the Cit y Council at a study session on February 27, 2024.

During the study session, staff and Keyser Marston Associates (KMA) presented the proposed fee schedule as well as an explanation of the fee calculations. The City Council also received public 1139

Public comments as well as the City Council’s feedback from the February 27, 2024 study session expressed the need to ensure Costa Mesa is competitive with nearby cities and ca n attract housing developers for the creation of housing in the community. Discussions included comparing the City’s proposed in-lieu fee amounts with the City of Santa Ana (who has seen success with their affordable housing program) and concerns that the City’s proposed fee amounts were too high. The City’s expert housing consultant, KMA, clarified that Santa Ana did not determine their in-lieu fee amounts based on a fee study or financial impact analysis ; and therefore, is not equivalent to their onsite p roduction requirements. In contrast, Costa Mesa’s proposed fee amounts are derived from the proposed AHO requirements so that the fees are equivalent to producing the affordable units onsite. While the City Council could consider lowering the in-lieu fee amounts, doing so would result in less onsite production of affordable units, and housing developers would likely choose to pay the in -lieu fees instead. KMA also recommends that the AHO requirements should, therefore, also be lowered for the fee amount to be equivalent to the onsite production of affordable units.

Fee Resolution to Establish the Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Amounts Included with this Agenda Report is a fee resolution to adopt the in -lieu fee amounts (as shown in Table 3 below) with adoption of the AHO. The proposed fee amounts are based on the proposed AHO requirement set aside percentages.

To provide the City Council w ith additional comparisons of other cities’ affordable housing in -lieu fee amounts, refer to Table 4. As shown in the table, there is no standard to establish an affordable housing in-lieu fee amount or fee structure. The in-lieu fees could be based on a sliding scale (as proposed in the AHO), flat fee per square foot, incremental increase over time, or a formula based on certain variables. The City of Encinitas more recently increased their fees from $20 per square foot to $23.79 per square foot . Encinitas also adjusts their fee ad ministratively based on the percentage change in the most current Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for the Los Angeles region. The City of San Diego adopted a program that included an incremental increase to their in-lieu fee amounts each fiscal year with the current fee set at $25 per square foot.

1 Sliding scale is based on a percentage of the adopted in -lieu fee amount depending on the number of units. For example, one unit project would be required to pay 14% of the in-lieu fee dollar amount. 2 Formula is based on land value, density, and percentage share of cost related to affordable units not being produced. 3 Prior to July 1, 2020, the in -lieu fee was established at $12.73 per sq. ft. and has increased every fiscal year (2021 - $15.18, 2022 - $17.64, 2023 – $20.09)
Stakeholders Meeting on Proposed In-Lieu Fee Amounts
At the direction of the City Council, s taff met with several housing developers in early March for additional feedback on the proposed in -lieu fee amounts. The housing developers included representatives from Irvine Company, City Ventures, Legacy, Sakioka Company, and Meritage Homes.

These housing developers specialize in both for-sale homes within in-fill locations, and developers with experience in rental housing.

The housing developers provided their general thoughts on the City’s proposed ordinance. The developers were supportive of the Planning Commission’s recommendation to reduce the affordable requirement for the 60+ du/ac rental projects to 10% low or 5% very-low income. They stated that if the ordinance is adopted, housing developers will likely utilize the State’s Density Bonus Law given the flexible incentives and waivers provided under the law. The State’s Density Bonus would help developers achieve their project goals and return on investment. When asked about suggestions for any additional incentives that the City could provide, the developers identified expedited processing to reduce the entitlement and plan check time which would allow developers to com mence construction at a faster pace and therefore reduce carrying costs. In this regard, the currently proposed AHO allows housing developers to simultaneously process construction plans while also processing their required entitlement planning applications.

The housing developers indicated that a high in -lieu fee amount would encourage the production of affordable housing units onsite. One of the for -sale housing developers with recent experience in developing for-sale units in Huntington Beach indicated that they did have success there with producing affordable units onsite within their market -rate project. However, that developer also mentioned that property owner equity is more difficult to build on the for -sale affordable units, as compared to market rate ownership. As such, they would prefer to pay an in -lieu fee. Developers stated that an in-lieu fee amount between $10 and $15 per leasable/saleable square feet would be the “breaking point” for a land development deal. However, it was acknowledged that it is difficult to determine an appropriate in-lieu fee amount because each housing project would have different variables (e.g., land costs, permitting review time, site preparation, and construction costs, etc.) . In addition, changes in interest rates c an significantly impact a developer’s proforma. The developers also commented on the proposed “sliding scale fee” approach. While they understood th at the sliding scale is intended to protect smaller projects with less units to “spread the cost”, they felt that it may be punitive towards higher density housing projects that are building more units in the City. A flat fee, regardless of project 1142

size, was preferred. The developers did appreciate the option to pay a fractional in-lieu fee in a situation where the number of required units would result in a fraction.

State Density Bonus and Local Affordable Housing Program Strategies It is important to note that residential developers can choose by right to use California’s Density Bonus Law, which is cod ified in Government Code §65915 et seq. (State Density Bonus) for projects that adhere to the minimum criteria defined below:
 5% units restricted to “Very Low Income”
 10% units restricted to “Low Income” rental units or 10% “Moderate Income” for sale units  100% affordable units (excluding manager’s units) with a maximum of 20% moderate units  10% “Very Low Income” units restricted for transitional foster youth, disabled veterans, or  homeless
 20% “Low Income” units for student housing at accredited colleges.  A senior housing development.
 An age-restricted mobile home park
 The project donates at least one acre of land to the jurisdiction for very low -income units, the land has the appropriate permits and approvals, and has access to needed public facilities  Projects which include a childcare facility
State Density Bonus allows for increased housing density on a property above the maximum allowed under the City’s General Plan Land Use Element, a statutorily defined number of concessions/incentives, and potentially reductions and/or waivers to the City’s development standards.

The draft affordable housing ordinance is proposed to be designed to specifically include similar and in certain situations potentially greater housing development incentives than allowed by State Density Bonus Law. For example, the proposed AHO, while State Density Bonus requires the rents to be calculated based on 60% of AMI. In addition, the City’s amended parking standards are proposed to be based on demonstrated market demand. The intention of the AHO is to create sufficient incentives through the proposed zoning code amendments to incentivize affordable housing construction that serves the local households at all income levels and is also consistent with the communities housing values.

Costa Mesa Community’s Input on Need for Affordable Housing More recently with the passage of Measure K (Ordinance to Revitalize Commercial and Industrial Areas and Protect Residential Neighborhoods), the Costa Mesa community recognized the impact of high housing costs in the City that has made it challenging to at tract teachers, police officers, firefighters, and other professionals. During the community survey polling for the Measure K ballot initiative, the majority of Costa Mesa residents surveyed were in favor of addressing the City’s housing needs as well as supporting more affordable housing options for all income levels. The Costa Mesa community has also identified that there is a benefit to provide an opportunity for current and future generations to find affordable housing in the community they grew up in. In the same community survey polling, residents also expressed support for an inclusionary housing requirement. The survey results from the community polling included the following findings:
 81% in favor of addressing housing needs;
 74% in favor of providing housing at all income levels for seniors, families, and young adults; 1143
Item #: 24-102 Meeting Date: 03/19/2024

Page 9 of 10 ends

 83% in favor of helping ensure more affordable housing is available for middle income and working-class families; and
 71% in favor of requiring up to 15% of new and redeveloped housing units to be affordable housing.

Since the passage of Measure K, the Planning Division has also seen an increase in inquiries and interest in developing housing projects along the corridor areas . The Planning Division has received approximately 30 inquiries and met with many of these prospective housing developers which include City Ventures , Meritage Homes, and Toll Brothers . While Measure K promotes more housing development opportunities, it does not directly address the City’s housing affordability issues.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

Pursuant to Government Code Section 36933, a summary of the proposed Ordinance was published once in the newspaper no less than five days prior to the April 2, 2024 second reading. A summary of the adopted ordinance will also be published within 15 days after the adoption.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 66016, the proposed fee schedule and fee study was made available to the public 15 days prior to the April 2, 2024, City Council meeting.

Public comments received prior to the April 2, 2024 City Council meeting may be viewed at this link:

CITY OF COSTA MESA - Calendar (legistar.com)
ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may give second reading and adopt the Ordinance as proposed, modify the Ordinance, or not adopt the Ordinance. If the City Council chooses to make substantive modifications to the Ordinance, the modified Ordinance would need to return at a future meeting for second reading and adoption.

Similarly, the City Council may adopt the fee resolution, modify the proposed fee schedule, or not adopt the fee resolution.

The City Council may also consider implementing the in-lieu fee schedule incrementally, similar to the City of San Diego. The City of San Diego set the in-lieu fee at a lower amount and over a five -year period, increased the fee to its eventual rate. The fee increased $12.27 over the five-year period. The fee is then updated annually based on the annual increase in the Construction Costs Index (CCI) published by Engineering News Record for Los Angeles, or similar construction industry index selected by the City Manager if the CCI index is discontinued. See Attachment 6, Information Bulletin 532, Requirements for Inclusionary Affordable Housing , City of San Diego . The Council could consider setting the fee at a lower rate and establish a schedule for increases over any specified period of time until the preferred maximum fee amount is met. For example, the Council may evaluate a fee of $12 in year one, with increase s over a 10 -year period to an eventual amount of $22.00 per applicable square foot and include an annual update to the fee based on CCI or similar construction ind ustry index.

FISCAL REVIEW:

Should the City Council adopt the Affordable Housing Ordinance and in-lieu housing fee resolution, the City could potentially receive funding from payment of fees that would be deposited into a Housing Trust Fund to support and promote affordable housing programs in the City, including the administration of the City’s Affordable Housing Program.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The proposed Ordinance, fee resolution, and this report have been prepared in conjunction with and approved by the City Attorney’s Office.

CONCLUSION:

Addressing housing needs for all income levels has been identified as one of the main housing goals by the Costa Mesa community and City Council. The community profile described in the 2021-2029 Housing Element showed that approximately half of Costa Mesa residents are overpaying for housing costs due to the lack of housing options especially affordable housing. Adoption of an Affordable Housing Ordinance would be a step towards addressing this issue coupled with the other Housing Element programs intended to remove or reduce existing barriers and constraints to market-rate housing developments. Furthermore, the ordinance would help towards achieving the City’s RHNA for the very-low-, low-, and moderate-income categories. Its adoption would also fulfill the objective of Program 2A of the Housing Element and help achieve City Council’s goal to “diversify, stabilize and increase housing to reflect community needs”. 1145

DEPARTMENT: ECONOMIC AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT/PLANNING

DIVISION

PRESENTED BY: CHRIS YEAGER, ASSOCIATE PLANNER

CONTACT INFORMATION: CHRIS YEAGER, ASSOCIATE PLANNER, (714) 754-4883

RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:

A preliminary plan has been submitted for an Urban Plan Screening application that includes 38 new live/work units to be located at 960 West 16th Street. Staff reviewed the preliminary plan which is the basis of the analysis and issues identified in this report.

Project Concept Screening

The screening process is an opportunity to determine whether a proposed project concept meets the City Council’s expectations for new projects in the Urban Plan areas before an applicant proceeds further into the development process and prepares for a comprehensive Master Plan application submittal.

The property is located within the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan area. The Urban Plan allows for live/work units and deviations from Urban Plan and other development standards when approved through a Master Plan in exchange for high quality projects. Should the project move forward, the Master Plan would be subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission.

The Urban Plan Master Plan Screening process is intended to address the following questions:

1. Does the project meet the City Council’s expectations for projects in the Urban Plan areas?

On April 4, 2006, the City Council adopted the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan to allow incentives for the development of live/work units and/or residential lofts in an approximate 277-acre area of the City’s Westside . The intent of the Urban Plan is to provide development/economic 1159

Item #: 24-255 Meeting Date: 6/18/2024

Page 2 of 13 ends

incentives for private property owners to reinvest and redevelop their properties. The objectives of the plan include the following:

 Identify development regulations to realize the vision of the Urban Plan. These regulations address mixed -use development standards as well as public streetscapes and urban design improvement and amenities.
 Provide a Land Use Matrix of allowable uses for live/work development that recognize the development potential of the plan area an d need to sensitively integrate new development with the surrounding areas, and therefore, promote both resident and business community confidence in the long term.
 Encourage the construction of live/work units that combine residential and nonresidential uses in the same unit without exceeding the development capacity of the General Plan transportation system.
 Attract more residents and merchants by allowing mixed-use development in the form of a live/work loft, which offers first -floor retail/office uses and upper story living spaces in the same unit.
 Encourage adaptive reuse of existing industrial or commercial structures, which would result in rehabilitated buildings with unique architecture and a wider array of complementary uses.
 Stimulate improvement in the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan area through well designed and integrated urban residential development that is nontraditional in form and design with flexible open floor plans, which complements the surrounding existing development.  Meet the demand for a new housing type to satisfy a diverse residential population comprised of artists, designers, craftspeople, professionals , and small -business entrepreneurs.
 Promote new types of urban housing that would be target -marketed to people seeking alternative housing choices in an industrial area. An urban loft would be an alternative to a traditional single-family residence, tract home, or small-lot subdivision.  Encourage the design and development of urban residential structures reflecting the urban character of the surrounding industrial context both in the interior and exterior areas. Encourage quality live/work development which promotes business activity through workspaces and amenity areas which are distinct from residential lofts/life -style lofts in design and function.

2. Does the City Council have comments regarding any requested deviations?

The Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan allows development flexibility in exchange for quality projects that meet the Urban Plan vision. Such flexibility may come in the form of deviations from required development standards, as approved through a Master Plan. The project, as proposed, includes deviations discussed below in the “Requested Deviations from Development Standards” section of this report. The screening process highlights requested project deviations from the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan so that the City Council can provide feedback. Pursuant to Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-83.52(d), a deviation from mixed -use development standards may be approved through the Master Plan process provided that the following findings are made:

1. The strict interpretation and application of the mixed -use overlay district’s development standards would result in practical difficulty incons istent with the purpose and intent of 1160

Item #: 24-255 Meeting Date: 6/18/2024

Page 3 of 13 ends

the General Plan and Urban Plan, while the deviation to the regulation allows for a development that better achieves the purpose and the intent of the General Plan and Urban Plan.

2. The granting of the deviation results in a mixed -use development which exhi bits excellence in design, site planning, integration of uses and structures and compatibility with standards for residential development.

3. The granting of a deviation will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

Pursuant to the Urban Plan, o n-site and off -site amenities contributing to the project’s overall design excellence may enable appropriate findings for approval of the requested deviations to be made. The City is also required to make a finding in support of the requested deviations from the development standards for live/work units. Specifically, th is finding requires that the requested deviations will not make the live/work units more suitable for a primarily residential use.

PROJECT SITE:

The proposed development site has a project area of 2.3 acres and is located on the north side of West 16th Street, approximately 500 feet west of the nearest intersection of West 16th Street and Monrovia Avenue. The site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of “Light Industrial” and is zoned “General Industrial District” (MG). The site is bounded by West 16th Street to the south, with the City of Newport Beach’s Utility Yard located across the street, multiple tenant industrial developments to the east, and a similar live work development to the north and west (“Lighthouse”). The Costa Mesa boundary with the City of Newport Beach is located at the southern property line of the project site, and therefore the adjacent West 16th Street right-of-way (including, but not limited to, sidewalk, landscape, curb, gutter, and roadway) are physically located in the City of Newport Beach. As a result, any offsite improvements in the West 16th Street public right-of-way and maintenance thereof are subject to review and permitting by the City of Newport Beach.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The proposed development would include a Master Plan and subdivision (Tentative Tract Map). The project proposes 38 live/work units, with three-unit configurations, ranging from 1,999 square feet to 2,300 square feet. Each individual unit is proposed as a detached structure and includes a first-floor workspace, restroom and two-car garage. The second-floor includes living area with an open great room, a kitchen, dining area, living room, a half bathroom, and a covered deck. The third-floor living area proposes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a laundry room. A partially covered rooftop deck is also proposed above the third floor. In addition to the roof deck, each unit is also proposed with private open space at the ground level. The seven units located immediately adjacent to West 16th Street include a street-facing design orientation, and these units include direct pedestrian access from the sidewalk.

The project proposes a density of 16.5 dwelling units per acre (du/acre) and the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan permits a density up to 20 dwelling units per acre. The maximum height proposed for each unit is approximately 44’ – 3” and consists of three floors with a roof deck above. The Urban Plan allows for a maximum building height of 60 feet and four stories. The proposed total Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the project is 0.82, which is less than the Urban Plan maximum allowed of 1.0 FAR. Each unit is proposed with two garage parking spaces, and the site plan also includes common parking located along the street (parallel parking) and within a small parking lot located at the end of a cul-de-sac (see the “parking and Circulation” analysis provided below in this report). As proposed, site parking is not in compliance with the Urban Plan and would require approval of a deviation (specifically described below in the “Parking and Circulation“ section of this report).

ANALYSIS:

Traffic Evaluation

The Transportation Division completed a preliminary trip generation analysis to compare the proposed 38-unit live/work project to existing conditions. The preliminary project trip projections indicate that the proposed development would generate 620 daily trips which exceeds the 273 total daily trips for the existing light industrial development. Pursuant to the Costa Mesa Municipal Code (CMMC), a transportation impact study is required for all development projects that generate 100 or more vehicle trip ends during a peak hour. As indicated below in Table 1 (“Preliminary Trip Generation Analysis”), the City’s Transportation Division anticipates during the AM and PM peak-hours, the proposed project would generate approximately 45 and 54 peak hour trips, respectively. Since the proposed project does not meet the criteria, a transportation impact study is not required; however, the project will be subject to traffic impact fees.

Parking and Circulation

Pursuant to the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan , total parking for live/work units is based on unit size.

The Urban Plan indicates that live/work units that have a floor area between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet are required to provide 1.5 tenant parking spaces per unit and 1.5 guest parking spaces . In addition, the Urban Plan specifies that units ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 square feet require two tenant parking spaces per unit and 1.5 guest parking spaces. As s hown in Table 2 and p ursuant to the preliminary plans, the project includes 10 units that range from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet, and 28 units that range in floor area between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet. Based on the units’ size and number of units, the project requires a total of 128 parking spaces (71 tenant parking spaces and 57 guest parking spaces).

Although the applicant’s plans show 130 parking spaces for the proposed development, the plans do not reflect the parking provisions required pursuant to Mesa West Bluff Urban Plan development standards. Specifically, the project include s 32 required guest parking spaces proposed in tandem.

Pursuant to the Urban Plan parking standards, “tandem garages and tandem open parking spaces are expressly prohibited”. Therefore, the project necessitates approval of a deviation from the Urban Plan to allow tandem parking to provide the required guest parki ng. Worth noting is that the adjacent live/work development (Lighthouse) was constructed with tandem parking on driveways in front of garages; however, the neighboring development was approved before the Urban Plans were amended to “expressly prohibit” tandem parking.

As shown below in Image 3, the project is designed with a 40-foot wide private street with parallel parking that is approximately 300-foot long and also features a 72-foot diameter cul-de-sac. The project also includes five individual streets that provide vehicular access to each of the live/work units.

According to the City’s Public Works Department, the proposed circulation design concept generally complies with City standards; however, the circulation improvements will be reviewed for consistency if/when final plans are submitted. The circulation and associated right-of-way improvements would be maintained by a private homeowner’s associations.

The project will be required to provide adequate turnaround for trash trucks and emergency vehicles.

The project proposes an emergency vehicle access gate between the on -grade parking lot and the private street, Hampton Drive located to the west. In order to allow for the emergency vehicle access gate, a letter of consent will be required from the neighboring community association.

1164

Item #: 24-255 Meeting Date: 6/18/2024

The project proposes an internal pedestrian sidewalk system that provides pedestrian access to all units from West 16th Street. Similar to the adjacent live/work development located to the west, the front proposed seven units are oriented toward West 16th Street with direct pedestrian access to the existing sidewalk.

Image 3: Site Plan

The proposed project is located within a half-mile from bus stops for the 47 Line (Fullerton-Balboa) on Placentia Avenue. In addition, a class II bikeway is provided on Placentia Avenue.

Requested Deviations From Development Standards

The Urban Plans provide incentives for live/work units by allowing deviations from development standards, subject to the approval of the Planning Commission. The Urban Plan allows for development flexibility in exchange for qual ity projects that meet the Urban Plan vision. Council feedback is requested regarding the following project deviations.

1. Required Guest Parking

Of the Urban Plan required 57 guest parking spaces for the project, 32 are proposed in tandem which is “expressly prohibited by the Urban Plan”. Therefore, a deviation is required to provide only 25 of the required 57 guest parking spaces as non-tandem spaces, with the remaining 32 proposed to be provided in tandem.

1165

Item #: 24-255 Meeting Date: 6/18/2024

Page 8 of 13 ends

2. Distance Between Main Buildings

Pursuant to the Urban Plan, a 10-foot separation is required for main buildings on the same site.

Alternatively, the project proposes a separation of six feet between buildings which requires a deviation. The separation proposed is similar to the City’s Small Lot Ordinance and Accessory Dwelling Unit separation requirements. In addition, the California Building Code allows for a six- foot building separation. Lastly, the neighboring live/work development located directly to the west was approved with a deviation to allow for six-foot building separations.

3. Minimum Size of Workspace

The Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan minimum workspace size is 250 square feet and excludes bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, or hallway areas. The application proposes workspaces ranging approximately from 120 to 180 square feet, and therefore necessitates a deviation from the Urban Plan’s minimum workspace size. As proposed, the workspace in each unit type would be comparable to a home office.

Proposed Building Height And Architecture
The existing General Industrial zoning designation of the site has a maximum allowable building height of 30 feet and two stories. However, with the approval of a Master Plan, the development can take advantage of the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan development standards which allows a maximum height of 60 feet and four stories. The project is designed with a maximum height of approximately 44 feet.

The scale of the development is generally similar to the neighboring live/work project which was approved with a maximum height of approximately 35 feet (including three stories and a roof deck).

Image 4: Preliminary Renderings

The applicant submitted several exhibits showcasing contemporary architectural styles including preliminary elevations and renderings. The project proposes to be constructed with modern architectural elements with multiple building panes and materials. The side and rear elevations are predominantly stucco with small bands of different materials to break up the façade. Each unit is proposed to include a roof deck with patio cover, metal railings, and colored brick veneer siding at the 1166

Item #: 24-255 Meeting Date: 6/18/2024

Page 9 of 13 ends

work area frontage. These designs incorporate various offsets, articulations, and construction materials to enhance the buildings' aesthetic qualities. As shown in Image 5 below, the project proposes stucco cladding and various accent colors and veneers depending on the unit type. Details regarding the architectural style, materials used, building facades, as well as shade and shadow analysis, will be required and thoroughly reviewed with the future Master Plan application submission.

Image 5: Preliminary Color and Material Board

Landscaping
Approval of a detailed landscape plan will be required to be submitted with the Master Plan and to be reviewed by the Planning Division prior to issuance of any building permits. Pursuant to the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan, the project will include on-site landscaping, plazas and courts, art, fountains, seating, or shade shelters. The amount of landscaping required onsite is prescribed in the Zoning Code’s Landscape Ordinance. All landscaped areas will consist of predominantly California native plants.

Off-Site Improvements
Pursuant to the Urban Plan, off-site improvements include, but are not limited to, upgrades to a local street, sidewalks, water and sewer, drainage, curbs and gutters, street signs, park in lieu fees, utility easements, and landscaping. Details and phasing of required off-site improvements would be addressed with the Master Plan’s processing. Because Costa Mesa’s city boundary is located on the 1167

Item #: 24-255 Meeting Date: 6/18/2024

Page 10 of 13 ends

south property line of the project immediately adjacent to the public-right-of-way, all public improvements within the West 16th Street right-of-way are subject to the requirements of the City of Newport Beach. City staff will work in coordination with the City of Newport Beach staff to ensure the necessary circulation improvements, and high-quality public-right-of-way aesthetics.

MERITS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT:

The following is a summary of the merits of the proposed live/work project at this location:

1. Project meets objectives of the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan. The project promotes a type of urban housing including live/work units. All units include a ground floor office or workspace that can be utilized for small home-based occupations by professionals who work from home.

2. Project location would be appropriate for the proposed land use. As envisioned by the Urban Plan, the project is compatible with the surrounding light industrial and residential uses. The project location is adjacent to other residential uses, near the Banning Ranch Reserve, and within walking distance to businesses in Westside Costa Mesa. The location is immediately across the street from the Newport Beach Utility yard which does not tend to operate during later hours and is generally a low noise generator. Though mixed-use and live/work projects are exempt from the exterior noise standards required by the Zoning Code for private open space in residential zones, the Urban Plan requires that a noise study and a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment be submitted with the Master Plan application.

3. Proposed Development is consistent with the objectives of the Zoning Code and Urban Plan.

The proposed project is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan, and live/work development standards of the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan. The proposed development generally meets the development standards and setback requirements with deviation requests, which are allowed by the Urban Plan.

POTENTIAL FURTHER PROJECT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS:

Since a detailed site plan, architectural plans and project description have not been submitted, staff will continue to work with the applicant on the following issues at the Council’s direction:

1. Residential Amenities. In exchange for deviating from Urban Plan standards, the project should provide quality environments and amenities. As currently proposed, the site plan does not show any residential amenities. Staff and the applicant will continue to discuss ways in which the project can address these needs.

2. Internal Circulation. The project includes an approximate 350 -foot long “neighborhood street” bisecting the property which ranges from 40 feet in width to 72 feet in width at an internal cul - de-sac. Parallel parking is provided on both sides of the street. A substantial portion of the lot is proposed to be hardscaped for the purposes of motor vehicle parking and circulation . Staff believes that a certain amount of this pavement area could be used for other resident amenities.

Staff and the applicant will work together on ways to accommodate additional open space , 1168

Item #: 24-255 Meeting Date: 6/18/2024

Page 11 of 13 ends

landscaping and/or other on-site amenities by considering alternative design options for the proposed street.

3. A final review of adequate fire access will be conducted during the development application process. While the preliminary plan has been reviewed by City’s Fire Prevention Division, the Master Plan submittal will need to provide a fire master plan to be reviewed and approved.

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION AND POLICIES:

The following project-applicable General Plan goals and policies should be reviewed and considered by the City Council in the context of the overall project:

Goal LU-1: A balanced community with a mix of land uses to meet resident and business needs.

The project will provide 38 live/work units that would create a mixed residential and commercial land use, and provide additional housing opportunities in compliance with the City’s required Regional Housing Needs Allocation.

POLICY LU-1.3: Strongly encourage the development of residential uses and owner-occupied housing (single-family detached residences, condominiums, townhouses) where feasible to improve the balance between rental and ownership housing opportunities.

The project proposes 38 ownership housing units. The Urban Plan requires that live/work development be ownership housing. The inclusion of 38 additional ownership units will improve the balance of rental and ownership housing in the City.

Policy LU-6.1: Encourage a mix of land uses that maintain and improve the City’s long-term fiscal health.

The development would occupy 0.6 percent of the City’s Light Industrial land use district and may incrementally affect the City’s revenue base. Additionally, an increase of 38 live/work units would necessitate additional City services and infrastructure but also provides a potential employee and customer base to Costa Mesa’s businesses while also providing potential revenue from the work component of each unit.

Policy LU-7.1: Endeavor to create mixture of employment opportunities for all economic levels of residents and businesses.

In keeping with this policy, the City will need to retain a sustainable level of industrial and commercial land uses to create a mix of employment opportunities for all economic levels of residents and businesses. Although there will be fewer employment opportunities with the live/work proposal in comparison with the current light industrial uses, considering the State and regional objective to increase housing supply, housing units may be considered a higher local/regional priority at the Council’s discretion. In addition, developing housing in proximity to 1169

Item #: 24-255 Meeting Date: 6/18/2024

Page 12 of 13 ends

major employment would reduce the vehicle miles travelled (VMT) and contribute to the overall sustainability goals of the region in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Policy C-5.11: Maintain balance between land use and circulation systems by phasing new development to levels that can be accommodated by roadways existing or planned to exist at the time of completion of each phase of the project.

Pursuant to Transportation Division’s preliminary trip generation estimate, the proposed development is consistent with the existing circulation system and proposes an increase of 347 total daily trips and total of 54 maximum peak hour trips. A transportation impact study is required for all development projects that generate 100 or more vehicle trip ends during a peak hour.

Since the proposed project does not meet the criteria, a transportation impact study is not required; however, the project will be subject to traffic impact fees.

Policy C-6.12: Require that every new development project pay its share of costs associated with the mitigation of project generated impacts.

The project will be subject to the payment of development impact fees including parkland impact fees, traffic impact fees, and school fees.

Policy HOU-3.2: Encourage the development of well-planned and designed residential or mixed-use projects which, through vertical or horizontal integration, provide for the development of compatible residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, or public uses within a single project, neighborhood, or geographic area within the City.

The project proposes a 38 unit live/work development consisting of ground floor workspaces and upper floor residential spaces. The project proposes to be constructed with modern architectural elements with multiple building panes and materials similar to other live/work developments in the area. The seven units that are adjacent to West 16th Street are oriented toward the street with direct sidewalk access and provide for an “open neighborhood feel” design.

Policy HOU-3.4: Consider the potential impact of new housing opportunities and their impacts on existing residential neighborhoods when reviewing development applications affecting residential properties.

The project is proposed adjacent to the “Lighthouse” neighborhood, another live/work development consisting of 49 residential units and 40 live/work units. The units were also developed with a Master Plan subject to the requirements of the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan.

The project was approved in November 2014 and was constructed soon after. The proposed project is not anticipated to negatively impact the residential and live/work uses to west and north.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):

The project is subject to environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, and therefore, an initial study will be prepared to determine whether the project might result in environmental effects. If required, the environmental document would identify feasible mitigation measures (e.g., noise reducing and air quality measures for residential units) to reduce any significant environmental impacts of the project. Additional technical studies are required and would be submitted with the Master Plan application, including a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment, and a noise study.

ALTERNATIVES:

Because the screening process allows the applicant to consider the City Council’s initial comments and to refine the developme nt concept based on Council feedback prior to submit tal of a land use application for review, and no decisions are made, there are no alternative actions for the City Council to consider.

FISCAL REVIEW:

The City prepared a fiscal model based on adopted land uses through the 2015-2035 General Plan update. Commercial and Industrial uses were assumed on the project site for fiscal analysis purposes; this included a variety of assumptions such as property tax, sales tax, franchise tax, etc. If the project proceeds to the submittal of a Master Plan application, staff will conduct a comprehensive project- specific fiscal analysis that will include an identification of both positive-and-negative fiscal impacts.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report and has approved it as to form.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

This item supports the following City Council Goal:

 Diversify, stabilize and increase housing to reflect community needs.

CONCLUSION:

The screening process enables the City Council to address the central question about the proposed development: “Does the project concept meet Council’s expectations for new development in the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan area?” The City Council’s comments do not set precedent for approval/denial nor constitute final action on the development project. In addition, the applicant may expect that the City staff review and the Planning Commission will have other project comments/concerns that may not have been considered by the City Council. The screening process allows the applicant to consider Council’s initial comments and to refine the development concept based on their feedback.

I. Introduction & Project Description
Intracorp SoCal -1, LLC (“Intracorp”) is the proposed developer of approximately

2.35 acres at 960 W 16 th Street, Costa Mesa . The property is located at the northwest corner of Quail Street and Spruce Avenue. The site currently has a two story commercial building totaling approximately 56,000 square feet . This commercial building is currently vacant.

Intracorp plans to redevelop the site with for-sale single family detached homes .

Our site plan proposes 3 -story homes with rooftop decks. The floorplans range from approximately 1,999 SF to 2,300 SF and feature Live/Work space at the first floor. Each home is planned to be a 3 -bedroom residence. These homes will provide Westside Costa Mesa with new housing opportunities in an area that has been a desirable location for new homeowners based on similar 3 -story detached homes.

The property is zoned General Industrial with a residential overlay in the West Mesa Bluffs Urban Plan. This Urban Plan allows for a density of up to 20 units an acre.

The proposed site plan is within this density threshold at 16.17 du/acre. a. Site Physical Features
The site is relatively flat with an approximate 3’ grade difference to the adjacent commercial neighbor on the East side of our property where a future retaining wall will be built. Our subject site is similar in over pad elevation to the adjacent residential project (Lighthouse) on the West and North property edges.

II. Conclusion
A high -quality residential community at 960 West 16 th Street will provide much needed housing for the Costa Mesa community and support for the surrounding businesses. The floor plan types will appeal to multiple homebuyers seeking to live in the Westside Costa Mesa community.

Intracorp believes this residential concept conforms to the vision of the City and provides a balanced approach to housing that fits within the scale of surrounding land uses.

Q1
Full Name:

Yessenia Delgado
Q2
Indicate the name of the Commission you are interested in serving on:

Having grown up in District 6 and now residing in District 1, I bring a unique and valuable perspective to the table. With extensive professional experience working with youth from TK through college, I am well-equipped to contribute to the commission as it seeks innovative ways to engage the community.

As a Latina resident of Costa Mesa, I deeply understand the barriers that the Latinx population faces in accessing and engaging with the Parks and Community Services initiatives spearheaded by this committee. My commitment to bridging this disconnect is what empowers me to apply.

I have a proven track record of working collaboratively within teams, across departments, and with external partners to execute successful projects and events. In my current role, I oversee various projects and special events, skillfully managing budgets to meet expectations and conducting evaluations to assess success. These skills and experiences align well with the commission’s need for a community member to provide advising and review.

I am confident that my background and passion for community service will be an asset to the commission, helping to foster a more inclusive and engaged Costa Mesa.

City of Costa Mesa Application for PACS Commission (May 24') 2 / 3
Q4
As a Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you?

GREATER TRANSPARENCY
Currently there is insufficient PACS information for the public with regards to the commission’s original formation, history, and current methods of operation, procedures for the PACS commission.

Placing those missing items as well the current City Commission and Committee Member Handbook on the PACS webpage would be a good start. The more the citizens know about the PACS commission the better.

REDUCE LAWN COSTS
Operational, maintenance costs could be reduced substantially for the City with more effective, focused watering and grass mowing schedules for parks….especially during the winter, spring seasons. Watering for park grass should be reduced significantly during those months when there is less sun, more dew in the morning, and far more chance of rain. And grass should be allowed to grow at least 1/2 inch higher to reduce water evaporation. Many thousands of dollars a year could easily be saved.

INSTALL PULL UP/DIP STATIONS AT PARKS
Most City parks have playgrounds for activity use for children but usually no fitness equipment, area for their parents or other adults.

Only a small amount of space and funds are needed for simple one high, one slightly lower pull up bars along with dip bars adjacent.

Parents “watching” their children or adult neighbors could use these nearly no maintenance, small price and use area adult fitness equipment near current City park playgrounds. Tanager Park is a good example of such a pull up bar/dip station.

REVIEW, REVISE CITY PARKWAY TREE LIST
Most tree species on the current list are not native to California nor Orange County. Major savings in water by homeowners, tree maintenance costs by the City, and sidewalk repair costs by the City could be experienced if only native tree species were on the tree list. And native animal species would be more abundant in the City as well.

City of Costa Mesa Application for PACS Commission (May 24') 1 / 2
Q1
Full Name:

Brandice Lea Leger
Q2
Indicate the name of the Commission you are interested in serving on:

I have lived in Costa Mesa for over 40 years and have served my community in many ways. From Neighbors for Neighbors, to PTA to attending town halls and city council meetings. I am knowledgeable on issues our city has had in the past and might experience again.

For example the rat problem of the late 90s.

Q4
As a Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I would love to see permanent chess tables in one or more parks. Our youth is surprisingly into chess right now and this can give them something healthy to do outside of the home. Maybe even have city competitions? Also I want to see more trees everywhere.

Q1
Full Name:

Julia C Hoigaard
Q2
Indicate the name of the Commission you are interested in serving on:

I have neighbor boys who like to go to parks, so I'm in a position now to actually visit parks in the city with something personal at stake. Also, I'm part of a small non-profit in the city and on the look-out for affordable venues where we could periodically meet.

Finally, I have just retired after 35 years of college-level teaching and I have a Ph.D. in Social Sciences and enjoy reading critically and writing at a professional level.

Q4
As a Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I'm a critical watcher and listener and when visiting a local park, I'd be interested in seeing for myself what our parks offer and also what problems they might pose as well. Being extraverted, I'm a natural "in-the-field-interviewer," when at parks to find out how others are experiencing the park. Also, regarding the possibility of finding low-cost venues at which small non-profits could meet, I'd be interested to see what venues are available and what small non-profits there are in the city who are looking for such accommodations.
