Written responses to survey question 13 “Please describe any other needs or concerns you have about the city that haven’t been addressed in this survey”.
Respondents Responses
1 Lack of affordable housing options for homeless
2 City permit/inspection process needs improvement with execution and efficiency. The whole process for construction projects takes far too long 3 Soccer fields. Easier permit process for home improvement 4 Crime
5 Street repairs due to increase number of trucks, especially the different trash trucks 6 What will empower the most residents to care for themselves and each other? 7 The cleanliness of the city. The sidewalks are dirty. Trash in the streets. 8 Graffiti removal services and hotline
9 Repeal sanctuary city proclamation
10 More housing and better streets for more transportation 11 Way too many “legal” drug facilities. Stop building all these houses – enough is enough.
12 Homeless off the streets – 100%
13 Homeless encampments. Very little enforcement
14 Public patrol in neighborhoods. Police response time. Enforcement of laws. 15 Roads! Major issue with more housing/good schools
16 Increased police presence and staffing
17 We need more bike lanes
18 Drug addiction
19 Another dog park
20 19th street and the Placentia bike lanes are terrible and need to be fixed. The back-up on 19th is the worst now that you have taken away a land and added a light. The bike lanes are too big and the road to drive is too small.
21 homelessness
22 Pot hole fixes, repaving needed on Mendoza street
23 Rents are higher than mortgages and not affordable
24 General cleanliness and pride in the neighborhoods. There is a lot of trash and debris everywhere. Illegal parking all through Eastside and a seeming lack of pride from the renters in large street duplexes/units.
25 Too many homeless drug users everywhere
26 Law enforcement presence
27 Clearly marked bicycle lanes
28 Must there be so many Marijuana dispensaries? I would like to see less of these. Also, there needs to be a plan for income-based housing for seniors. Affordable housing is still expensive for people on social security.
29 Missing middle housing. Street safety improvements (slow the cars). Active transportation infrastructure.
30 Traffic law enforcement. Stop signs, residential speeding/burnouts, late night takeovers on the freeway (55).

31 Allow homeowners to replace parkway strip trees without the penalty of having to provide additional trees to the city for planning elsewhere 32 Need more housing supply at all income levels; also need more public transportation 33 Gentrification
34 Illegal drug use, crime, homeless and enforcement of driving laws 35 The homeless issue (them sleeping on the street) needs to be fixed 36 Graffiti keeps popping up around the neighborhoods
37 1.5 million is just not enough money. I am interested as to whether we could pursue some more grants or something we need a huge investment and some gracious donors to really build this city up and fortify us. We are on the brink of some very dangerous things happening and Costa Mesa is a beautiful place that can outlive some of the disasters on her verge if we really dig in.
38 Policing of homeless
39 El alto costo de la renta y lo sucio de la calles por no levantar la Popo de sus perros 40 Rental Registry
41 Para con la pandillas de los jóvenes en las calles y con los homles 42 We need more enforcement of the traffic laws. The streets are getting more dangerous with people running red lights and stop signs. There is a lot more traffic because of all of the large apartment complexes being built and not enough of a focus on the hazards creating the added traffic.
43 More community “3rd places” to use for residents needed. 44 Parking and density with ADUs
45 Seguridad
46 More safe/secure bicycle places for locking
47 Better walking accessibility, clean sidewalks, safer crosswalks 48 Control de parking por vivienda
49 Reduce pot shops and homelessness
50 Food insecurity
51 End the sober living business, hold slumlords accountable for poor living conditions and degrading properties, beautify Baker Street with islands and trees like Fairview, 17th, and Harbor Blvd.
52 Building More Housing

Appendix G: HOME Program Request to Increase Median Area Purchase Price Limit
Consolidated Plan COSTA MESA Appendix G-1

Mr. Rufus Washington, Director

Office of Community Planning and Development
300 N. Los Angeles Street, Suite #4054
Los Angeles, CA 90012
SUBJECT: HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Program Request to Increase Median Area Purchase Price Limit
Dear Mr. Washington:
The City of Costa Mesa is submitting a request to increase the Median Area Purchase Price Limit as part of its 2025-2026 Action Plan. In lieu of the limit provided by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) for FY 2025, the City is requesting permission to use an increased limit of $1,448,750.
The City conducted its local market survey using data supplied by Orange Coast Title Company, which is based on information from the database of the Orange County Recorder and Assessor’s offices. We have found this source to be accurate and reliable. The following are the steps used in the survey methodology:
1. Sales data on all single-family home sales, March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025 in the City of Costa Mesa compiled in ascending order of sales price. Data includes the address of the listed properties, sales value, parcel number and date of sale.
2. Pursuant to 24 CFR 92.254(2)(iii), the length of the reporting period is dependent upon the volume of existing home sales in the City. If sales were 250 or less per month in the most recent 12 months (March 2024 to February 2025), then a minimum of a 3-month survey is used. Based on the attached report, the median home price was $1,525,000 and 95% of this property value is $1,448,750.
3. Methodology for Costa Mesa adjusted home limit increase request:
Median Sales Price for 102 sales: N+1 = $1,525,000
2 Single Family Unit: $1,525,000 (95%) = $1,448,750
