3.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This section of the report summarizes the impacts and suggested mitigation
measures for the proposed project, as required under CEQA. After each iden-
tified impact and mitigation measure, the site numbers (i.e. 1, 2, and/or 3) to
which the statement applies are given in parentheses. Project impacts and miti-
gation measures are described in greater detail in Section 4.0, Environmental
Impact Analysis. In addition, the summary provides qualitative indications of
the magnitude of project impacts and the potential effectiveness of mitigation.
An asterisk (*) after a mitigation measure indicates that it is required by law.
A. Land Use

7.0 ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED ACTION
7.1 No Project
In considering the range of possible alternatives to a given action, one alter-
It private development of the project site does not occur independently in the
near future, the "no project" alternative would result in a direct loss of reve-
nue to the Redevelopment Agency as well as a potential indirect loss, since it
would affect the values of surrounding redeveloped properties. In addition, the
uncertainty of development of the site could make it more difficult to generate
developer interest in redevelopment of the surrounding area.
The no project alternative would avoid or at least delay the potential adverse
impacts associated with the proposed project (i.e., increased traffic, noise,
air pollution and natural resource/energy consumption). These impacts must be
evaluated in conjunction with the potential benefits of the proposed project, as
described in the preceding paragraph.
7.2 Project Alternatives
Three project alternatives of varying intensities and land use mixes are
addressed in detail in the Final EIR for the 16 -acre Costa Mesa Redevelopment
Project Bounded by 19th Street, Newport BouZevard, 18th Street and Park Avenue
(certified February 6, 1984). The alternatives are defined in Section 2.4 and a
summary comparison of the environmental impacts is provided in Section 3.0 of
the February, 1984 EIR. In addition, it should be noted that a fourth project
alternative has been added for analysis in this Supplemental EIR.
Table 28 summarizes the four alternatives for each of the three sites. The
first three alternatives for Sites 1 and 2 are based on the land use/intensity
assumptions discussed in the previous EIR. Since Site 3 was not included in the
previous EIR, it was assumed that the land use types and intensity would be
similar to the Sites 1 and 2 Alternatives. Since the related project site,
currently under construction, had been included in the alternatives addressed in
the previous EIR, the developments previously assumed for that site have been
subtracted out of the following alternatives analysis. These three alternatives
for Sites 1, 2 and 3 are presented only as concepts representing a range of
development possibilities.
7-1
5.35A.7-1
native that is both obvious and mandated by applicable guidelines is the "no
project" alternative. Selection of this alternative would require that the
redevelopment action initiated by the City of Costa Mesa be terminated. The
project area would remain in a partially redeveloped condition (i.e., the
related project, now under construction, would be completed) and would be
available for other public or privately initiated proposals in the future. It
is possible that the subject area could he privately redeveloped on a site spe-
cific basis in the future without public involvement. However, development
under the current zoning and Ceneral Plan designations for the site »ouZ,i most
M rt a
Zi{ely involve uses Similar to those which presently exist. However, there is
~ 0
no guarantee that such development/ redevelopment would occur solely through the
^':
private sector, particularly where there are multiple ownerships of developed
0 8' :
properties. On the contrary, the historical lack of private reinvestment in the
n;' _
area would seem to indicate that redevelopment is unlikely to occur without
a)
public participation. In addition, without Redevelopment Agency participation
in lot consolidation, no significant development has occurred or is expected to
1D
occur in the project area.
It private development of the project site does not occur independently in the
near future, the "no project" alternative would result in a direct loss of reve-
nue to the Redevelopment Agency as well as a potential indirect loss, since it
would affect the values of surrounding redeveloped properties. In addition, the
uncertainty of development of the site could make it more difficult to generate
developer interest in redevelopment of the surrounding area.
The no project alternative would avoid or at least delay the potential adverse
impacts associated with the proposed project (i.e., increased traffic, noise,
air pollution and natural resource/energy consumption). These impacts must be
evaluated in conjunction with the potential benefits of the proposed project, as
described in the preceding paragraph.
7.2 Project Alternatives
Three project alternatives of varying intensities and land use mixes are
addressed in detail in the Final EIR for the 16 -acre Costa Mesa Redevelopment
Project Bounded by 19th Street, Newport BouZevard, 18th Street and Park Avenue
(certified February 6, 1984). The alternatives are defined in Section 2.4 and a
summary comparison of the environmental impacts is provided in Section 3.0 of
the February, 1984 EIR. In addition, it should be noted that a fourth project
alternative has been added for analysis in this Supplemental EIR.
Table 28 summarizes the four alternatives for each of the three sites. The
first three alternatives for Sites 1 and 2 are based on the land use/intensity
assumptions discussed in the previous EIR. Since Site 3 was not included in the
previous EIR, it was assumed that the land use types and intensity would be
similar to the Sites 1 and 2 Alternatives. Since the related project site,
currently under construction, had been included in the alternatives addressed in
the previous EIR, the developments previously assumed for that site have been
subtracted out of the following alternatives analysis. These three alternatives
for Sites 1, 2 and 3 are presented only as concepts representing a range of
development possibilities.
7-1
5.35A.7-1
Alternative 4 assumes that the proposed land uses for Sites 2 and 3 remain con-
sistent with.that of the proposed project. Site 1 however, reflects a change in
land use.
The impacts of each of the four alternatives are discussed in Sections 7.2.1 -
7.2.4. Those impacts which can be quantified are summarized and compared with
the proposed project in Table 29. The impacts of the existing on-site land uses
are not subtracted from the impacts in Table 29, since the existing impacts
would be consistent for all alternatives.

(1) Same as water consumption factors.
(2) Traffic generation factors for Alternative
1-3 are
based on a September,
1985 traffic study by Justin F. Farmer,
Traffic Engineers.
(3) Based on 1.5 employees per household and 20 percent
new household demand.
7.2.1 Alternative 1
Alternative 1 would involve the development
of a total of
166,500 square
feet,
primarily occupied by miscellaneous retail,
commercial and
office uses.
Buildings would be one or two stories high.
Alternative
1 would not include
any
residential use. Shadows for Alternative 1
on all sites
would be considered
negligible.
7-4
5.35.7-3
As shown in Table 29, Alternative 1 would generate fewer employees and approxi-
mately 31 percent less demand for housing within the project area. The pro-
jected -daily traffic flow for Alternative 1 is 6,904 trips per day, which is
approximately 19 percent less than the proposed project traffic. It can be
reasonably estimated that due to the reduction in traffic, the level of noise
produced by Alternative 1 will be less than for the proposed project and that
the reduction in air qu._lity is directly proportionate to the reduction in traf-
fic generated by Alternative 1 versus the proposed project.
Employment and housing demands would be greater under Alternative 2, due to the
larger amount of retail and office space. Unlike the proposed project, This
demand would not be offset by any on-site residential developments. Average
daily traffic would be alightly less than for the proposed project.
Subsequently, noise and air pollution would also be slightly less.
Energy consumption for Alternative 2 would be higher than for the proposed pro-
ject. Electricity usage would be 73 percent greater and natural gas consumption
would be 34 percent greater.
Sewage generation and water consumption for Alternative 2 would be approximately
95 percent less than for the proposed project. This reduction is due in part to
the elimination of the residential uses.
7-5
7.35A.7-4
Energy consumption would also be less should Alternative 1 be incorporated. A
31 percent reduction in electricity usage and a 68 percent reduction in natural
gas consumption would occur over that of the proposed project. The overall
G rt
reduction in the intensity of development would provide additional options for
(D r a)
site design/layout to further mitigate any energy impacts and incorporate
0
energy conservation measures.
r"
Water and sewer consumption would be much less than for the proposed project.
OD >The
projected sewage flows for the proposed project could require upgrading of
a '
existing sewer lines, but Alternative 1 would pose no adverse impacts on the
sewer or water lines. Drainage impacts would be similar to those of the pro-
posed project.
Alternative 1 would further reduce solid waste generation by 38 percent over the
proposed project.
Public service demand would also be reduced. No students would be generated as
a direct result of this alternative.
7.2.2 Alternative 2
Alternative 2 would involve the development of 421,000 square feet of retail
structures, including a theatre, a hotel, a medical traffic office building, a
financial office building and several restaurants. The buildings would range
from 2-6 stories high. It is possible that a parking structure would also be a
part of this proposal.
Shadows for Alternative 2 would be similar to those of the proposed six -story
hotel on Site 1 and the 5 -story residential complex on Site 2.
Employment and housing demands would be greater under Alternative 2, due to the
larger amount of retail and office space. Unlike the proposed project, This
demand would not be offset by any on-site residential developments. Average
daily traffic would be alightly less than for the proposed project.
Subsequently, noise and air pollution would also be slightly less.
Energy consumption for Alternative 2 would be higher than for the proposed pro-
ject. Electricity usage would be 73 percent greater and natural gas consumption
would be 34 percent greater.
Sewage generation and water consumption for Alternative 2 would be approximately
95 percent less than for the proposed project. This reduction is due in part to
the elimination of the residential uses.
7-5
7.35A.7-4
Solid waste generation for Alternative 2 would be 9 percent less than for the
proposed project. The demand for police and fire protection would not be
notably different than for the proposed However,
project. there would be no
direct student generation under this alternative.
7.2.3 Alternative 3
Alternative 3 would involve the development of 545,000 square feet of various
retail and office uses. The buildings would range from 2
to 8 stories in height
with subterranean parking as an additional alternative.
Shadows cast by the proposed buildings in Alternative 3 could have an effect on
adjacent developments in the event that the buildings are not
�C ao 0
c
o
properly placed to
allow sunlight to reach park/recreational areas, residential patios and windows,
pedestrian areas during
o
the winter months.
4and
�.,
The employment generation for Alternative 3, and the projected housing demand
based on those employees will increase 255
ro 4J m
a
percent over the proposed project
which could have a substantial impact on the surrounding area, due to the fact
that no housing is proposed for Alternative 3.
Traffic generation would be 29 percent greater under Alternative 3 and could
have a substantial impact on intersection capacities. Noise and air pollution
would be increased as well.
Electricity consumption would increase approximately 126 percent over that of
the proposed project. Again, this increase would be due to the high
percentage
Of office and retail use assumed for Alternative 3. Natural gas consumption
would decrease by 64 percent.
Sewage generation and water consumption would decrease by approximately 25 per-
cent. This decrease would be due to the elimination of residential units.
Student generation and solid waste generation would be less than for the pro-
posed project. Police and fire protection demand could be greater under this
alternative due to the high intensity
of development.
7.2.4 Alternative 4
Alternative 4 would involve the development of 125,000 square feet of retail
commercial and hotel developetent and 460 apartment units. The impacts for Sites
2 and 3 would be the same as those for
the proposed project. Because this
alternative involves a reduced intensity of development for Site 1, all impacts
would be less than for the proposed project. As Alternative Site Man or Sita
2 is sham in Figure 28. 11he aharaetorietfae of this aZternative devetotment
?Zan are sunnyrued in fable 30.
Shadows for the hotel on Site t would be shorter. Employment and housing
demands would decrease approximately 28
percent and traffic generation would
decrease by approximately 9 Accordingly,
percent. noise would be reduced and a
directly proportionate reduction in air quality impacts would be recognized
as a
result of the reduction in traffic generation. As varki.no faailities unr'er

development and subdivision patterns which now exist in the block.
3. The PDC zone is consistent with the Commercial Center General
Plan designation and the Commercial Redevelopment Plan designation for Site 1.
4. The proposed Mixed -Use Development is an adopted policy of the
General Plan and a stated objective of the Comprehensive Design Plan for the
Redevelopment Project.
5. The proposed Mixed -Use Development permits a more efficient use
of land through shared parking for all uses and common residential amenities for the
apartments and the hotel.
6. The proposed Mixed -Use Development will introduce an around-the-
clock activity center in the core of the Redevelopment Project area, which will be a
significant enhancement of the overall vitality and success of redevelopment efforts
downtown.
