Home My WebLink About13 - - Additional Documents - 5/18/2021From: George@paquette.com Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2021 10:54 AM To: CITY CLERK Subject: ADU Permits Hello - I would like to submit a question for tonight's City Council meeting. How does Costa Mesa plan to make Accessory Dwelling Unit permits and costs more attractive to homeowners? With the costs of homes reaching unattainable cost for first time buys and elderly looking to retire, families will require more members per household. Costs and restrictions should be reevaluated to provide owners the opportunity to quickly adjust without the typical challenges. Suggestions: Waive permit fees Require that the home is owner occupied Must be on the same utilities to avoid this being exposed as rental income Thank you George Paquette Sent from my iPad From: GREEN, BRENDA Sent: Monday, May 17, 2021 1:17 PM To: HUYNH, NANCY; LE, JENNIFER; PREZIOSI, TARQUIN Cc: BENNETT, STACY Subject: FW: Measure Q - Youth Center Concerns Brenda Green City Clerk City of Costa Mesa 714/754-5221 Until further notice, Costa Mesa City Hall is closed to the public in keeping with Governor Newsom's direction regarding COVID-19.

I would like to address the adoption of the ordinances related to Measure Q. Specifically, I am concerned with which properties and/or organizations are considered youth centers as National Charity League Newport will be directly impacted by the decisions made on this matter. NCL Newport has owned the property located at 540 W 19,h Street in Costa Mesa for 50 years and currently operates a volunteer run thrift store — the NCL Ticktocker Thrift Shop -- and community center for local philanthropies. Proceeds from our sales allow us to provide support to more than 15 local philanthropies annually. Importantly, our youth members (nearly 200 girls, age 12-18) volunteer year-round at our store to develop job skills and serve the community. We also hold events at this location for other Newport -Mesa based youth organizations such as Think Together's Shalimar Learning Center's after school program, Human Options' Second Step, SOS and the Someone Cares Soup Kitchen. Children of all ages attend these activities. Per the City's definition of a Youth center, we believe we meet the conditions to be recognized as such since we are a private facility hosting recreation, social activities, and job training for minors. If we are recognized appropriately, this would create a buffer zone around us, ensuring our ability to continue serving the Costa Mesa community and to protect our children. Respectfully, we ask for our property at 540 W 19t^ Street to be added as a youth center to the Cannabis Map. Thank you.

The structure's dominance at the intersection is not in dispute. TS success or failure to reap high rewards of commerce are not due to large, digital or moving signage. Digital signs, designed to be read as driving a vehicle or walking through busy traffic, are a distraction. Traffic Collision reports do not mitigate difficulties of pedestrian, cyclist and internal combustion vehicles' interactions. The City Council's own Planning Commission has done due diligence with all parties affected by the signage proposal. Please support the dedicated work of the Planning Commission's unanimous "NO" vote. Thank you, Corinne Stover 1224 Conway Avenue 714-432-7371 District 2 Corinne Stover .....look for the helpers."

Hi Janet, I'm a longtime residents of Newport Beach and Costa Mesa. I currently reside in Costa Mesa right off of 19th and Harbor on the corner by 31 flavors. 1 am just voicing my opinion I think it's a terrible idea to have that flashing billboard put on triangle Square in the busiest intersection in Newport and Costa Mesa. I think it's only going to distract drivers more. There are already so many people who run red lights which is so dangerous block the intersections and then they're going to be trying to read what it says on the billboards, it's a really really bad idea and I think it's going to have a lot of repercussions one being really bad car accidents and hopefully not fatalities. I just completely started going home a different way because of all the red light runners 2 to 3 every day so so dangerous! So I hope when you guys put your heads together and look at the whole big picture you look at what it will do to the community. Having these flashing billboards that make no sense to put them in such an area as this that's more for Vegas! thanks for your consideration in your time have a nice day! Sent from my iPhone
