BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Future development of all land within the City of Costa Mesa is guided by the 2015-2035 General
Plan, which was adopted on June 21, 2016. The Land Use Element of the General Plan directs
long-range development in the City by indicating the location and extent of development to be
allowed. The General Plan sets forth land use goals, policies, and objectives that guide new
development.
Rezone R-16-04
New Zoning District
The 2015-2035 General Plan incorporated a new land use designation entitled Multi -Use
Center. The Fairview Development Center at 2501 Harbor Boulevard was the only property
given this designation. The following additions to the City's Zoning Code will support the
implementation of this new land use designation by creating a new corresponding zoning
district entitled Institutional & Recreational - Multi -Use. The new zoning district addresses the
potential for single family and multi -family residential development while continuing to support
typical institutional and recreational uses like parks, education, or health related uses. The
specific guidelines for the Multi -Use Center General Plan land use designation is itemized in
the table below. The new zoning district shall accommodate these uses, future institutional &
recreational uses, and the existing use of the site.

Rezone for 2501 Harbor Boulevard
The 2015-2035 General Plan identifies 2501 Harbor Boulevard as the only location with the
new land use designation of Multi -Use Center. Therefore 2501 Harbor Boulevard must also
be rezoned from Institutional and Recreational to Institutional and Recreational - Multi -Use.
Code Amendment CO -16-03
The following changes are necessary to facilitate the new Institutional and Recreational —
Multi -Use Zoning District.
Chapter II. Zoning Districts Established
The proposed changes to the above article are as follows:
Sec. 13-20. ZONING DISTRICTS
(t) I&R-MLT Institutional & Recreational - Multi -Use District. This district is intended to allow
the integration of a variety of land uses and intensities. This zoning district category includes
uses which are low to moderate in density and intensity and urban in character. The Multi -
Use Center designation is applicable only to the Fairview Development Center property at
2501 Harbor Boulevard.
Chapter III. Planning Applications
The proposed changes to the above article are as follows:
Sec. 13-28 (h)
(h) Master plan. Prior to development in the Planned Development (PD), Town Center
(TC), Shopping Center (C1 -S), Mixed -Use Overlay (MU), and beth all types of
Institutional and Recreational (I&Rand I&R-S, and I&R-MLT) zoning districts, a master
plan is required. Preliminary master plans are required in the TC and I&R-MLT zone,
are optional in PD and MU zones, and are not required in C1 -S, 1&R -S, and I&R zones.
(3) Minor amendments.
a. Minor amendments to existing master plans in planned
development zones are subject to Section 13-56 MASTER PLAN
REQUIRED.
b. Minor amendments to existing master plans in the TC, C1 -S, MU,
I&R--and, I&R-S, and I&R-MLT zones may be approved by
development review if the Planning Division finds that the proposed
_3q_
construction does not materially affect required open space, floor
area ratio, and parking requirements specified in the approved
master plan. Furthermore, if the minor amendment results in an
overall building square footage that exceeds the maximum building
square footage allowed by the approved master plan, the Planning
Division must find that the minor amendment is consistent with the
floor area ratio and trip budget standards established by the
General Plan, as applicable.
Chapter IV, Citywide Land Use Matrix
The proposed change to the above article are as follows:
Sec. 13-30. (e)
(e) For the purpose of Table 13-30, LAND USE MATRIX, the various zoning districts are
labeled as follows:
• Residential zones: R1, R2 -MD, R2 -HD, and R3
• Commercial zones: AP, CL, C1, C2, C1 -S, and TC
• Industrial zones: MG and MP
• Planned Development Residential zones: PDR -LD, PDR -MD, PDR -HD, and
PDR -NCM
• Planned Development Commercial zone: PDC
• Planned Development Industrial zone: PDI
• The Parking zone: P
• Institutional and Recreational zones: I & R, and I & R -S, and I & R -MLT
The proposed land use matrixtable 13-30 modifications are reflected in ExhibitA of the proposed
ordinance. These modifications include adding a column for I & R –MLT in the land use matrix
so that it is clear which types of land uses are permitted within the I & R – MLT district.
Chapter V. Article 7.

Article 7. INSTITUTIONAL AND RECREATIONAL, AND INSTITUTIONAL AND
RECREATIONAL SCHOOL STS, INSTITUTIONAL AND RECREATIONAL
