THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Costa Mesa hereby finds and declares that within the boundaries of the Redevelopment Agency and the adopted Redevelopment Plan, certain inconsistencies exist between uses established by the Redevelopment Plan, uses established by the General Plan for the City of Costa Mesa and uses established by existing zones. The City Council further finds and declares that requests for building permits within said Redevelopment Agency boundaries may be for uses in conflict with uses established by the Redevelopment Plan. The City Council further finds and declares that it anticipates an amendment of the General Plan to conform with the Redevelopment Plan adopted by the Redevelopment Agency. The City Council further finds and declares that a study must be undertaken to determine whether existing zones should be amended. The City Council further finds and declares that it is necessary for the protection of the public safety, health, and welfare that uses which may be in conflict with either the Redevel- opment Plan or existing zoning should be prohibited pending a study of the area to be conducted and concluded within a reasonable time. Accordingly, the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa enacts the following Ordinance provisions: SECTION 2. "Except where no conflict exists between zones and uses established by the Redevelopment Agency in its Redevelopment Plan, no building permit in excess of $5,000.00 value shall be issued for construction within an area described in a plot plan attached to this Ordinance marked Exhibit "A" and by this specific reference made a part hereof, pending a study to be conducted by the Planning Agency of the City of Costa Mesa. SECTION 3. When, because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topogra- phy, location or surroundings, the strict application of this Ordinance, deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classifications, and where it appears that undue hardship will result from strict application of this Ordinance, a variance may be granted therefrom after appropriate applica- tion to the Planning Commission and final consideration by the City Council. SECTION 4. The City Council of the City of Costa Mesa adopts this Ordinance as an Urgency Ordinance pursuant to Section 65858 and Section 36934 California Government Code. This Ordinance is the first extension of Ordinance 74-30, and it shall be in effect for eight months from the adoption hereof. SECTION 5. The reasons in support of the urgency actions of the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa are as follows: 1. The City Council of the City of Costa Mesa encourages development in the Redevelopment Area which is consistent with the Redevelopment Plan. 2. Zoning classifications within the Redevelop- ment area may be inconsistent with the adopted Redevelopment Plan. 3. To allow development which is inconsistent with the Redevelopment Plan will prohibit the attain- ment of the objectives of the Redevelopment Agency. 4. It is necessary that uses within zones inconsistent with the uses established by the Redevel- - 2 - opment Plan be prohibited pending a study of said inconsistencies, and recommended corrective action by the Planning Staff and the Planning Commission of the City of Costa Mesa." SECTION 6. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and effect immediately from and after its passage, and before the expiration of fifteen (15) days after its passage, shall be published once in the Orange Coast Daily Pilot, a newspaper of general circulation printed and pub- lished in the City of Costa Mesa, together with the names of the members of the City Council voting for and against the same.
