RECOMMENDATIONS
City Council give second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 15-06, to be read by title only,
and waive further reading.
BACKGROUND
On June 16, 2015, City Council conducted a public hearing on the proposed Ordinance and
heard public testimony both for and against the Ordinance (Attachment No. 1 — Ordinance
15-06); and approved and gave first reading to Ordinance No. 15-06, which was included
as an attachment to staff's report (Attachment No. 2 — June 16, 2015 Staff Report) by a
unanimous vote. The Ordinance will amend Table 13-30 (Land Use Matrix) to reflect
changes made by Code Amendment CO -14-13 as previously adopted on October 21, 2014.
On October 21, 2014 the City Council adopter Ordinance No. 14-13, titled "AN ORDINANCE
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA AMENDING SECTION 13-6
(DEFINITIONS) OF ARTICLE 2 (DEFINITIONS) OF CHAPTER I (GENERAL), ADDING
CHAPTER XV (GROUP HOMES), AND REPEALING AND REPLACING ARTICLE 15
(REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS) OF CHAPTER IX (SPECIAL LAND USE
REGULATIONS), OF TITLE 13 (ZONING CODE) AND AMENDING THE CITY OF COSTA
MESA LAND USE MATRIX - TABLE NO. 13-30 OF CHAPTER IV. (CITYWIDE LAND USE
MATRIX) OF THE COSTA MESA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO GROUP HOMES".
At that time the updated portion of the Land Use Matrix, reflecting the changes made by
Ordinance No. 14-13, was attached to the staff report but was inadvertently omitted from
the Ordinance itself. As is evident from the Title of Ordinance No. 14-13, it was the intent of
the City Council to adopt the updated Land Use Matrix as part of that Ordinance. Consistent
with that intent, City staff has enforced Ordinance No. 14-13 and the updated Land Use
Matrix as the current law in the City of Costa Mesa since the adoption of Ordinance No. 14-
13.
CONCLUSION
The proposed Ordinance is a technical amendment to the Land Use Matrix reflecting Zoning
Code changes previously approved by the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa through
adoption of Ordinance No. 14-13 on October 21, 2014. The Matrix was included in the staff
report, but was inadvertently omitted from Ordinance No 14-13. Out of an abundance of
caution, the proposed Ordinance would correct any possible procedural deficiencies in the
adoption of the updated Land Use Matrix and would ensure that the Land Use Matrix
accurately reflects the City's Zoning Code.
