In addition to placing an initiative on the November 2016 ballot, an alternative for City Council consideration is to adopt an Ordinance to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries within the City. BRENDA GR EN City Clerk ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS PH -1: AMENDMENTS TO THE S®BECA AND WESTSIDE URBAN PLAINS April 4, 2016 TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA: PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE DEIR FOR THE PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS OF 2016 TO BE INCLUDED IN THE FINAL EIR. The proposed amendments "Residential Incentive Overlay Harbor Boulevard" and "Harbor Mixed Use Overlay" and the discussion of them in the Land Use Element portion of the DEIR are inconsistent with the DEIR's Noise Element findings. All the following facts and figures are taken from the General Plan and EIR. Section 13-280 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code sets the residential exterior noise standard of 55 dB(A) from 7:00 A.M. through 11:00 P.M. and 50 dB(A) from 11:00 P.M. through 7:00 A.M. In contrast, the measured noise levels along the segment of Harbor Boulevard that is to transition to high-density residential measure 71.5 Leq at Harbor and Adams (one block north of the Azulon senior housing complex) and 73.1 Leq at Harbor and 191h Street. The maximum measured at those locations are, respectively, 88.5 and 86.9 Lmax. The EIR declares no significant impact because it states that implementing the City's Municipal Code and the proposed General Plan Amendment policies will prevent the obvious impact from occurring. But it is impossible to implement a law limiting noise to 50 or 55 dB(A) on a major traffic corridor where the measured noise level is already far higher. Policy N -1.A says, "Enforce the maximum acceptable exterior noise levels for residential areas at 65 CNEL." Even that policy, referring to a higher noise level, cannot reconcile the high noise volume on Harbor Boulevard with a level acceptable for residential development. Therefore, implementing the City's Municipal Code and General Plan Amendment policies means necessarily prohibiting residential development along the Harbor Boulevard corridor. Therefore, the proposed "Residential Incentive Overlay Harbor Boulevard" and "Harbor Mixed Use Overlay" cannot be adopted nor implemented, and therefore, the DEIR is internally inconsistent.

I am a parent of two children who both participate in AYSO soccer. The fields we practice on are in Costa Mesa. During the late fall and early spring seasons, we struggle to have practices as daylight ends by around 5:00pm. The fields we play on are also in very poor shape and some are to the point of being dangerous. Looking at synthetic turf and lights are something that can give our children a safe field to play on for their sports throughout the year. I urge you all to vote to approve.

Our children are in desperate need of held space for our youth to participate in all the various youth sports made available in our community. In a built out city like Costa Mesa, there are limited areas to build new active use parks. As such we need to maximize the time at the facilities we do have. During the winter months the field use is drastically cut short by 5:00pm each day. Permanent lights can help solve this issue by allowing user groups to play on fields that during other months of the year are usable until 8:00pm. While we have seen temporary lights used at various sites in the community, we know that these are not long term solutions for the youth groups and surrounding neighbors who are affected. Currently in Eastside Costa Mesa, there is not one lit facility available. Kaiser Elementary has three multi -use utility fields and two baseball fields. This location offers the greatest amount of space that can accommodate lights and synthetic turf. This is the primary facility AYSO Region 97 uses just as Jack Hammet is the primary facility for AYSO Region 120 and Flag Football. The condition of the grass at all facilities in our community is poor to say the least. With drought restrictions, limited maintenance budgets, and overuse these facilities are getting worse and worse. Synthetic turf can help alleviate the over -use issues and reduce field maintenance expenditures. It can also allow more than one user group permitting at a particular site. Newport Harbor High School currently has limited field space on campus. Sporting teams such as Lacrosse, Field Hockey, and Soccer have to travel off campus and use sites at Back Bay High School, Harper Elementary, and Lindbergh. These sites which are also permitted to youth groups have drastic wear and tear. If Kaiser Elementary School were to have permanent lights and synthetic turf, NHHS sporting teams could use this facility immediately after school and then youth groups could use in the evening hours and the fear of destroying the grass would be eliminated. This would solve a huge issue for both NHHS and youth sports groups in our area. With new Stadiums being built at Costa Mesa High School and Newport Harbor High School, the available fields are actually being reduced. Newport Harbor High new Stadium is not adding any additional field space on campus. Costa Mesa High School Stadi-am is actually taking away field space for youth sports groups because this facility will not be made part of the Joint Use Agreement. For these reasons, the need for lit facilities will become greater than they are today. Currently the California State Legislature has recently introduced AB 2496 which would eliminate Daylight Savings Time. This bill would further erode hours of play in our parks. Right now fall and winter youth groups straggle with field space, if this were to pass the problem would hurt youth sports year round. We are asking you and the NMUSD Board of Trustees to partner together help remedy the problem of available lighted playing time for our children. As such we ask that you vote to take the first step in bringing lights and synthetic turf to Kaiser Elementary, Davis Middle School, and Parsons School.

We are asking you and the NMUSD Board of Trustees to partner together help remedy the problem of available lighted playing time for our children. As such we ask that you vote to take the first step in bringing lights and synthetic turf to Kaiser Elementary, Davis Middle School, and Parsons School.

A yes on this vote can only bring our community together. As a parent of 3 kids in the NMUSD, I find it absolutely absurd that my children are not provided a place to practice their sport. As of now, my sons are practicing on a school field with 4 other soccer teams and a little league team. I also find it ridiculous that my children can't play/practice in a park? Is it not a priority to get the kids off the phones and outside? There are 6 parks and 5 schools within 1 mile from my home and the boys in my neighborhood can't use any of the I I "grassey" areas to play their sport without a city official asking them to leave. My boys have been playing football for 5 years now. And to be told that we can only practice on one field across town is, well, just lame! I was even willing to pay for a permit for my kids to play/practice their sport but told I couldn't because they were enrolled in an orginazation... DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE? I urge you to put in lights so that the multiple sports orginazation can actually accommodate the number of children who just want to play. Also, the artificial turf would set a good example for the citizens of your city who VOTED for you. As you sit in your elected seat, I ask that you think of the children in wheelchairs as well as their parents and grandparents. You need to make the fields more accesable. June Hendriks Costa Mesa April 3, 2016 City of Costa Mesa 77 Fair Drive Costa Mesa, CA 92626 Subject: Feasibility Study for Lighting and Synthetic Turf at Multiple Facilities City of Costa Mesa Council Members, I am writing you to urge you to approve funding to Newport Mesa Unified School District to be spent for the Light and Synthetic Turf Feasibility Studies at Kaiser Elementary School, Davis Magnet School facilities, and Parsons School I am the President of the Newport Mesa Soccer Club and a homeowner within the Newport - Mesa Unified School District boundary. Within our non-profit youth soccer program, we have children ranging in age of from 5-18. I've been in this role for over ten years. I can tell you, unequivocally, that there are not enough lighted fields to meet the demands of our communities recreation needs. I know from firsthand experience that there many days, weeks and months during the year that there are not enough athletic fields available for the communities recreation needs. Our grass surfaced fields get closed down for several months of the year —for rainouts, for rest and for renovation. Artificial athletic fields would greatly increase the recreational access for our community -- by my estimates, by over 40%. That's like building several new fields in a community that has no land available for additional fields. Because so many of our fields in the Costa Mesa portion of our school district are owned and maintained by the District, the only way to get a significant increase and upgrade of playable surfaces is if the School fields are improved through the addition of quality, proper lights and with year-round synthetic grass surfaces. It would be a dramatic improvement in the quality of life and recreation, not only for our children, but also for our adult residents who recreate. For our kids soccer program, the Newport Mesa Soccer Club (which typically has over 300 local children playing year-round), we do not have enough open fields available in the Summer months (fields are closed for rest/renovation) and, due to the reducing daylight issues from October through March, weekday field access (vitally needed for 2-3 practices per player per week) are limited to the handful of lighted fields in the City. But, there are thousands of kids from a multitude of programs that also need these limited lighted resources. Programs (kids) get short-changed on what they need. Kid -friendly organizations are having to fight with each other to get enough hours to function. Clearly, there is a shortage if programs are at odds with each other. If there were enough lighted and playable fields, then we would all get along. The recent drought has caused our already -inferior playing fields to get much worse. The reduction of water and the moratorium by the School District to allow youth groups to re -seed and re- sod our playing surfaces (the District won't water the seed in quantities/frequencies sufficient to grow grass) can be remedied with synthetic turf installation. Going forward, it would save the District a lot of money and we, as a community, would save an amazing amount of water. The bottom line is that this would be good for our kids, for our schools, for our community and for the health and fitness of our, generally overweight, society. Instead of close fields for recreation — we would be opening up more opportunity We (the hundreds of kids and parents from the Newport Mesa Soccer Club) are asking you and the NMUSD Board of Trustees to partner together and solve the problem of the current shortage of lighted recreational fields in our community. As such, we ask that you vote to take the first step in bringing lights and synthetic turf to Kaiser Elementary, Davis Magnet School and Parsons School.

In a built out city like Costa Mesa, there are limited areas to build new active use parks. As such we need to maximize the time at the facilities we do have. During the winter months the field use is drastically cut short by 5:0012 each day. Permanent lights can help solve this issue by allowing user groups to play on fields that during other months of the year are useable until 8:0 0p. While we have seen temporary lights used at various sites in the community, we know that these are not long term solutions for the youth groups and surrounding neighbors who are affected. Currently in Eastside Costa Mesa, there is not one lit facility available. Kaiser Elementary has three multi -use utility fields and two baseball fields. This location offers the greatest amount of space that can accommodate lights and synthetic turf. This is the primary facility AYSO Region 97 uses just as Jack Hammet is the primary facility for AYSO Region 120 and Flag Football. The condition of the grass at all facilities in our community is poor to say the least. With drought restrictions, limited maintenance budgets, and over -use these facilities are getting worse and worse. Synthetic turf can help alleviate the over -use issues and reduce field maintenance expenditures. It can also allow more than one user group permitting at a particular site. Newport Harbor High School currently has limited field space on campus. Sporting teams such as Lacrosse, Field Hockey, and Soccer have to travel off campus and use sites at Back Bay High School, Harper Elementary, and Lindbergh. These sites which are also permitted to youth groups have drastic wear and tear. If Kaiser Elementary School were to have permanent lights and synthetic turf, NHHS sporting teams could use this facility immediately after school and then youth groups could use in the evening hours and the fear of destroying the grass would be eliminated. This would solve a huge issue for both NHHS and youth sports groups in our area. With new Stadiums being built at Costa Mesa High School and Newport Harbor High School, the available fields are actually being reduced. Newport Harbor High new Stadium is not adding any additional field space on campus. Costa Mesa High School Stadium is actually taking away field space for youth sports groups because this facility will not be made part of the Joint Use Agreement, For these reasons, the need for lit facilities will become greater than they are today.

While we have seen temporary lights used at various sites in the community, we know that these are not long term solutions for the youth groups and surrounding neighbors who are affected. Currently in Eastside Costa Mesa, there is not one lit facility available. Kaiser Elementary has three multi -use utility fields and two baseball fields. This location offers the greatest amount of space that can accommodate lights and synthetic turf. This is the primary facility AYSO Region 97 uses just as Jack Hammet is the primary facility for AYSO Region 120 and Flag Football. The condition of the grass at all facilities in our community is poor to say the least. With drought restrictions, limited maintenance budgets, and over -use these facilities are getting worse and worse. Synthetic turf can help alleviate the over -use issues and reduce field maintenance expenditures. It can also allow more than one user group permitting at a particular site. Newport Harbor High School currently has limited field space on campus. Sporting teams such as Lacrosse, Field Hockey, and Soccer have to travel off campus and use sites at Back Bay High School, Harper Elementary, and Lindbergh. These sites which are also permitted to youth groups have drastic wear and tear. If Kaiser Elementary School were to have permanent lights and synthetic turf, NI414S sporting teams could use this facility immediately after school and then youth groups could use in the evening hours and the fear of destroying the grass would be eliminated. This would solve a huge issue for both NHHS and youth sports groups in our area. With new Stadiums being built at Costa Mesa High Sebool and Newport Harbor High School, the available fields are actually being reduced. Newport Harbor High new Stadium is not adding any additional field space on campus. Costa Mesa High School Stadium is actually taking away field space for youth sports groups because this facility will not be made part of the Joint Use Agreement. For these reasons, the need for lit facilities will become greater than they are today. Currently the California State Legislature has recently introduced AB 2496 which would eliminate Daylight Savings Time. This bill would further erode hours of play in our parks. Right now fall and winter youth groups struggle with field space, if this were to pass the problem would hurt youth sports year round. We are asking you and the NMUSD Board of Trustees to partner together help remedy the problem of available lighted playing time for our children.. As such we ask that you vote to take the first step in bringing lights and synthetic turf to Kaiser Elementary, Davis Middle School, and Parsons School.

This is the primary facility AYSO Region 97 uses just as Jack Hammet is the primary facility for AYSO Region 120 and Flag Football. The condition of the grass at all facilities in our colnmurilty is poor to say the least. With drought restrictions, limited maintenance budgets, and over -use these facilities are getting worse and worse. Synthetic turf can help alleviate the over -use issues and reduce field maintenance expenditures. It can also allow more than one user group permitting at a particular site. Newport Harbor High School currently has limited field space on campus. Sporting teams such as Lacrosse, Field Hockey, and Soccer have to travel off campus and use sites at Back Bay High School, Harper Elementary, and Lindbergh. These sites which are also permitted to youth groups have drastic wear and tear. If Kaiser Elementary School were to have permanent lights and synthetic turf, NHHS sporting teams could use this 1 facility immediately after school and then youth groups could use in the evening hours and the fear of destroying the grass would be eliminated. This would solve a huge issue for both NHHS and youth sports groups in our area. With new Stadiums being built at Costa Mesa High School and Newport Harbor High School, the available fields are actually being reduced. Newport Harbor High new Stadium is not adding any additional field space on campus. Costa Mesa High School Stadium is actually taking away field space for youth sports groups because this facility will not be made part of the Joint Use Agreement. For these reasons, the need for lit facilities will become greater than they are today. Currently the California State Legislature has recently introduced AB 2496 which would eliminate Daylight Savings Time. This bill would further erode hours of play in our parks. Right now fall and winter youth groups struggle with field space, if this were to pass the problem would hurt youth sports year round. We are asking you and the NMUSD Board of Trustees to partner together help remedy the problem of available lighted playing time for our children. As such we ask that you vote to take the first step in bringing lights and synthetic turf to Kaiser Elementary, Davis Middle School, and Parsons School.

Rebecca Lyons V_ +_ CFTY CLERK 16 APR - 5 FM 12: 11 April 4, 2015 CIIS I A �VIESA 5Y City of Costa Mesa The Honorable Council I am writing to request that Consideration be given to placing lighting at Kaiser Elemtary school, followed by further studies to adding lights and synthetic turf at Davis Elementary Magnet school as well as the facilities at Parsons school now known as the Waldorf Private School. With new lights being available at the new Sport Complex on the Costa Mesa High School campus, Jack Hammet sports fields, and portable lights at Davis, we need to balance the lighting situation by providing lights on the Eastsisde of our city. Soon we will have a new renovated stadium at Newport Harbor High School and this will further limit the fields available on the Eastside. To move forward at this time with a sense of urgency is the correct decesion for the overall usage in the city not only for the youth programs in the community, but for all resident ages to use. I strongly urge our council to move ahead and request that the Newport -Mesa Unified School District work in concert with our city to meet the needs of the community.

With our children playing multiple sports in this City, it continues to frustrate us to see the lack of sufficient and adequate athletic field space. We continue to be hamstrung in our ability to schedule and utilize fields. All of this translates into children leaving our City to play sports elsewhere. It is time for this issue to be a priority in our City. If we want to keep our kids in Costa Mesa, adequate sports fields is a great place to start. I hope you will move forward on the study.

Our children are in desperate need of field space for our youth to participate in all the various youth sports made available in our community. In a built out city like Costa Mesa, there are limited areas to build new active use parks. As such we need to maximize the time at the facilities we do have. During the winter months the field use is drastically cut short by S:OOpm each day. Permanent lights can help solve this issue by allowing user groups to play on fields that during other months of the year are useable until 8:00pm. While we have seen temporary lights used at various sites in the community, we know that these are not long term solutions for the youth groups and surrounding neighbors who are affected. Currently in Eastside Costa Mesa, there is not one lit facility available. Kaiser Elementary has three multi -use utility fields and two baseball fields. This location offers the greatest amount of space that can accommodate lights and synthetic turf This is the primary facility AYSO Region 97 uses just as Jack Hammet is the primary facility for AYSO Region 120 and Flag Football. The condition of the grass at all facilities in our community is poor to say the least. With drought restrictions, limited maintenance budgets, and over -use these facilities are getting worse and worse. Synthetic turf can help alleviate the overuse issues and reduce field maintenance expenditures. It can also allow more than one user group permitting at a particular site. Newport Harbor High School currently has limited field space on campus. Sporting teams such as Lacrosse, Field Hockey, and Soccer have to travel off campus and use sites at Back Bay High School, Harper Elementary, and Lindbergh. These sites which are also permitted to youth groups have drastic wear and tear. If Kaiser Elementary School were to have permanent lights and synthetic turf, NHHS sporting teams could use this facility immediately after school and then youth groups could use in the evening hours and the fear of destroying the grass would be eliminated. This would solve a huge issue for both NHHS and youth sports groups in our area. With new Stadiums being built at Costa Mesa High School and Newport Harbor High School, the available fields are actually being reduced. Newport Harbor High new Stadium is not adding any additional field space on campus. Costa Mesa High School Stadium is actually taking away field space for youth sports groups because this facility will not be made part of the Joint Use Agreement. For these reasons, the need for lit facilities will become greater than they are today. Currently the California State Legislature has recently introduced AB 2496 which would eliminate Daylight Savings Time. This bill would further erode hours of play in our parks. Right now fall and winter youth groups struggle with field space, if this were to pass the problem would hurt youth sports year round. We are asking you and the NMUSD Board of Trustees to partner together help remedy the problem of available lighted playing time for our children. As such we ask that you vote to take the first step in bringing lights and synthetic turf to Kaiser Elementary, Davis Middle School, and Parsons School.

HATCH @costa mesaca.gov>; MARTIN, JUSTIN <JUSTIN.MARTIN@costamesaca.gov> Subject: Under the Lights Youth Powered by Under Armour Dear Council Members and Staff: My name is Eric Beach. I have been a Costa Mesa resident for almost 10 years. I will plan on being at the City Council Meeting tonight's and wanted to signal my support for the new lights in various locations around the city. Secondly, I am writing to ask that the new vendor policy (no new vendors for Fall of 2016) be waved for my youth program. It is called the Under the Lights Powered by Under Armour program and is a youth flag football league. I believe this is warranted considering the history of the other two (2) vendors in the city, Matt Leinart Flag Football and Friday Night Lights. Although both of these leagues received a permit for User (3) status is the past, neither has demonstrated a real association with a non-profit. Certainly, they have been reprimanded in the past so it should not warrant exclusivity or eliminate other credible vendors. Because our league is affiliated exclusively with Under Armour, Inc. and because our staff is under a real 501c(3), I am simply asking you to consider allowing us to present this great program in the Fall of 2016. I realize that there may be some issues with space, but at a minimum we would like to propose that our program be given some space as a User 3 (eventually user 1) at Jack Hammett or be afforded space if another vendor does not occupy it. In addition, the current vendor (Matt Leinart) can't occupy the entire park at Jack Hammett with their current numbers. Regardless, they have not earned that right. The reason for my request even after the deadline is two -fold: 1) We were deterred from applying as a new vendor even though there is not another Level 1 user and... 2) We have a question of the verification of 501c(3) status of the current Youth flag football operators after reviewing 990 forms, etc. I am writing to request to you and the city once again that we may be considered as a new vendor considering our status as a 501c(3) is unmatched by any other youth flag football vendor. Lastly, I'm not here to cause issues but we have a wonderful, volunteer program and feel that the playing field should be level. If the "new vendor" rule were to be waived considering the fact we are a higher status, then my hope is we would be considered or at least run our program side by side in the Fall. Below is our press release and thanks for the consideration. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Under the Lights Youth Flag Football League to Open Sites Around the Country League Exclusively Powered by Under Armour, Inc. to Provide Services in 25 States Los Angeles, CA (March 29, 2016) Today, Under the Lights Youth Flag football announced a partnership with Under Armour, Inc. and DeBartolo Sports and Events to institute a national youth flag football league across the country.
