RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that City Council:
Give first reading to Ordinance 16-09 to adopt Code Amendment CO -16-03 to amend Title
13: Chapter II (Zoning Districts Established), Chapter II (Planning Applications), Chapter
IV (Citywide Land Use Matrix), and Chapter V, Article 7 (Development Standards for
Institutional and Recreational and Institutional and Recreational School Districts) to include
the Institutional and Recreational - Multi -Use District the corresponding district to the
General Plan land use designation of Multi -Use Center which was adopted under the 2015-
2035 Costa Mesa General Plan. The amendment will establish a new zoning district and
associated standards for new development within this district. Rezone R-16-04 will rezone
2501 Harbor Boulevard, the current Fairview Developmental Center, from Institutional and
Recreational to Institutional and Recreational - Multi -Use.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On August 29, 2016, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended, by
a 3-0 vote (Commissioners Sesler and Andranian absent) first reading of the ordinance as
described above and attached to this report. The following additions to the City's Zoning
Code will allow implementation of the new Insitutional & Recreational — Multi -Use Zoning
District as well as well as rezone 2501 Harbor Boulevard from Institutional and Recreational
to Institutional and Recreational — Multi -Use to correlate with the new Land Use
Designation of Multi -Use Center included in the City's 2015-2035 General Plan.
New Zonina 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.

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 both all types of
Institutional and Recreational (I&R�a-nd 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, I&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, a-nd, I&R-S, and I&R-MLT zones may be approved by
development review if the Planning Division finds that the
proposed 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)

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 matrix table 13-30 modifications are reflected in Exhibit A 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.
