public facilities. The 9.5 acre Civic Center is within this
designation. As many of the uses in this designation are recrea-
tional and open space in nature, levels of building intensity are
minima. The proposed maximum building intensity considered by
this designation is a floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.25 and a
population density of 44 employees per acre.
Facilities that transfer, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes
that are generated at another source (off-site) are most ap-
propriately located in the Industrial Park and Light Industry land
use designations; however, a facility with a purpose and scale of
operation that is compatible with this designation may be allowed
cursuant to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. The
onditional Use Permit process shall comply with the procedures and
siting criteria established by the Orange County Hazardous Waste
Management Plan, the City of Costa Mesa's ordinance provisions for
these type of facilities, and other State legislation, as ap-
propriate.
Compatible zones include I&R, I&R-S and P.
Golf Course:
Three golf courses are located within the City's planning area.
Two of these, the C-ity's course and Mesa Verde Country Club, are
located within the current City limits. Santa Ana Country Club is
=n unincorporated area east of Newport Boulevard. Because of the
large area devoted to open space, the proposed buildinc inzensiti es
and population densities with this designation are neq_izible (less
than 0.01 FAR and less than one employee per acre.)
The compatible zone is I&R.
The Fairgrounds:
This designation recognizes the unique land uses associated with
the 150 -acre Orange County Fairgrounds and Exposition Center which
includes the Pacific Amphitheater. This property is owned by the
State of California; therefore, the City has no permitting
authority. However, it is the goal of the City to work closely
with the State to ensure that the impacts associated with the
development and use of this site are appropriately addressed and
mitigated. Of particular concern are traffic -related impacts and
land use compatibility.
The maximum allowable floor area ratio for this designation shall
be less than 0.10. The General Plan Traffic Model assumes 358 AM
peak hour trips and 1,383 PM peak hour trips for the entire
Fairgrounds.
The compatible zone is I&R.
