According to the City, below is the purpose of those study sessions: "Visioning" is the term given to the process that enables a city to define its future in a very public process. Visioning participants can be brought together to recognize shared values and purposes, with the aim of articulating a shared vision for the City of Costa Mesa. A vision defines what the community should look like physically, socially, and environmentally in five, 10, or 20 years. The visioning step in the General Plan update process creates a sense of ownership for City residents, business and property owners, and other stakeholders to the extent that they want to see and help make that vision a reality. Additionally, Council approved that the consultant team implement the "Great Reach" as a communication strategy that would be inclusive of the diverse opinions and input throughout the city as a means to make the General Plan Update a living document that will guide planning decisions going forward. But, nowhere, does it mention in the Visioning Statement or the "Great Reach" public comments that any part of the Westside Industrial Zoned properties would become the MESA ARTS DISTRICT!!! Yes, just a few days ago, we received a Notice of a "Zoning Administrator Decision Date" on Application # ZA-15-04, regarding the erection of a "Freestanding Sign" to be installed on the private alley entrance at Commercial Way from Superior Street, as the gateway into the "Mesa Arts" District. See Below: As submitted in ZA-15-04, by John Morehart 5166 ACR0,55 COMMERCIAL YW 1630. - 1640 SUPER [OR AVENUE C TA MESA Although City employees may be within their duties to make such a decision is this manner, I ask the members of City Council if you believe they should! It seems as though such a "Vision" should be more deliberative and inclusive, maybe even part of the General Plan Update or at least it should be addressed through the CUP process where all the stakeholders, especially other property owners and tenants in the industrial area may be a part of such "Big Picture Thinking" — this is not the case here. Instead, a single individual property owner, who in recent years has acquired multiple parcels in the Westside Industrial area has, with the help of a City Zoning Administrator, been allowed to re -shape the Westside Industrial area into his own vision for the area. The rest of us are left to deal with parking shortages, illegal and dangerous jaywalking as patrons from his properties on one side of Superior park and then try to cross on foot to his properties on the other side of Superior. Just a few weeks ago, part of the Commercial Way alley was coned off and turned into a parking lot for large event hosted at the properties on Superior and Commercial Way. The last time an "Arts District" was approved in the City of Costa Mesa, there was significant public input, and City Council Approval of the District. But the "Mesa Arts" District will be decided upon by only a few, and at the recommendation of the Zoning Administrator, as the notice clearly reads that there will be "NO PUBLIC HEARING" on this matter. Where the vision is going from here is to be determined, but if his recent Craigslist Posts are any indication, this property owner appears to have an insight on what the "City" really wants instead of Industrial use for the area.
