Affordability & Income Level Targets
The project will conform to Ordinance No. 2024 -02, which was approved by the City Council on August 6, 2024, and is now effective as of August 31,2024. The ordinance states that 47% of Costa Mesa residents earn a lower income and 29% of the residents qualify for very low or extremely low-income housing. The proposed Costa Mesa Senior development provides 70 units of much needed housing to both seniors and formerly homeless seniors. This project will ensure that senior residents can remain in Costa Mesa and live in high quality homes that will be strategically located adjacent to the neighboring Costa Mesa Senior Center. The proposed project personifies the Costa Mesa Strategic Plan’s goal of diversifying, stabilizing, and increasing the housing stock to meet the community’s demand.

The proposed project provides deeper levels of affordability than what is dictated in the current ordinance which lists Low Income AMI at 80% and Very Low Income at 50%. As seen in Exhibit C below, the project will be restricted to both 30% & 60% AMI.

Jamboree Housing Corporation will commit to maintaining the units affordable for no less than 55 years which will comply with both City and California Tax Credit Allocation Committee’s (TCAC) requirements. Upon permanent loan conversion, the Partnership will be entering a recorded Regulatory Agreement with TCAC that will further cement this affordability covenant.
Compliance with City Parking Requirements
The housing development requires zero parking per State Law. California Assembly Bill 1287 stipulates that if a project is located within 0.5 miles of a transit stop (8 stops per day minimum) and is Senior or PSH it qualifies for this exemption. . Overall, the project will provide 133 surface parking spots, including 13 accessible spots and 7 electrical vehicle parking stations. The project meets the California Building Code (CBC) Section 1109A Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) parking requirements of 2% for residential parking space and 5% for guest parking.
