The affidavits of publication and of mailing are on file in the City Clerk's office. The principle planner summarized the agenda report and responded to questions from the City Council. Mike Berry, Costa Mesa, complimented the Council during this process. Al Marshall, business owner, believes that the plan is a tremendous plan for the area. Commended the staff and Council and encourage the plans' adoption. Sam Clark, Costa Mesa, former committee member of the SoBECA Committee, he encouraged the Council to go forward with the plans due to the positive effect it will have on the area. Jerry Russell, business owner, commented that he felt there are not adequate protection for the industrial businesses and was concerned about having the change the nature of his business. He encouraged that the intent and some wording relative to the protection of existing industrial and commercial businesses be included in the ordinance. In response to Council Member Foley, the Senior Planner read into the record suggested wording, as suggested by Mr. Russell, for the SoBECA Urban Plan and the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan, relative to the mitigation of impacts by the proposed new developments. Shaheen Sadeghi, business owner and Bristol Street Mixed -Use Overlay Committee member, expressed his support of the plan, explained the history of the Bristol Street Mixed -Use Overlay Area. In response to Council member Foley he indicated that he would enjoy some flexibility regarding the street furnishings which would allow for some artistic creativity. Linda Sadeghi, Costa Mesa,, complimented the Committee, considered the area as a gateway to the City, emphasized the diversity which should be highlighted to make a vibrant and energetic community. Mayor Pro Tem Bever pointed out language that he felt was in conflict with the intent of the plans and recommended additional language changes: Referencing page 8 of the Mesa West Residential Ownership Urban Plan, page 14 of the 19 West Urban Plan, page 15 of the SoBECA Plan and page 15 of the Mesa West Bluff Urban Plan , he suggested that "Architectural" be deleted from the description of "Land Use Compatibility"; to delete reference to paragraph that reads "New . development in the mixed use overlay district shall be compatible with existing development through vertical/horizontal articulation or architectural enhancements. In addition the proposed massing of buildings in new development shall be proportional to the mass and scale of other structures on the same block." He further suggested to delete the paragraph that reads "Project Design features: Proposed development in the mixed use overlay district shall be compatible with existing development through vertical/horizontal articulation or architectural enhancements, and projects shall be subdivided into massing that is proportional to the mass and scale of other structures on the same block." Mayor Pro Tem Bever explained that he felt that the current concepts for "compatibility" were confusing, were not working, will inhibit the: market. He further commented that he agreed with Planning Commissioner Eleanor Egan that "the Commission needs to look at it on a case: -by -case basis." He felt that "there is no reason to tie the future to the dysfunctional past" and that development standards should be the guide and the wisdom of our leaders and staff to be the deciding factor should there be a need: In addition he commented that on page 16 of the SoBECA Plan referencing the "Mixed -Use "Monitoring" every Two Years" that the paragraph that reads "A comprehensive "Mixed -Use Monitoring Status Report" shall be prepared every two years to evaluate the results of the Urban Plan's implementation, verify assumptions and/or recommend changes, as appropriate." He felt that it was a very labor intensive directive that was redundant as the traffic impacts will be assessed annually on the "Development Phasing report." He suggested deletion of the language or to expand it to a five (5) year cycle. MOTION: Adopt Resolution No. 06-30; give .Ordinance No. 06-9 first reading to be read by title only and to waive further reading; give Ordinance No. 06-10, first reading to be read by title only and to waive further reading; and to adopt Resolution No. 06-31, as amended, deleting Architectural from the "Land Use Compatibility" in the the SoBECA Plan (page 15)L to delete the paragraph that reads "New development in the mixed use overlay district shall be compatible with existing development through vertical/horizontal articulation or architectural enhancements. In addition the proposed massing of buildings in new development shall be proportional to the mass and scale of other structures on the same block"; and that compatibility with existing development will be on a case-by-case basis; to delete the paragraph that reads "Project Design features: Proposed development in the mixed use overlay district shall be compatible with existing development through vertical/horizontal articulation or architectural . enhancements, and projects shall be subdivided into massing that is proportional to the mass and scale of other structures on the same block"; to delete on page 16 of the SoBECA Plan paragraph the "Mixed -Use "Monitoring" Every Two Years: A comprehensive "Mixed -Use Monitoring Status Report" shall be prepared every two years to evaluate the results of the Urban Plan's implementation, verify assumptions and/or recommend changes, as appropriate." Moved by Council Member Gary Monahan, seconded by Council Member Linda Dixon. Council Member Foley requested the maker of the motion to include the suggested language on page 14 of the SoBECA Urban Plan and the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan that all new proposed development will be required to provide onsite mitigation of impacts associated with surrounding non- residential land uses. The addition was agreed to by Council Member Monahan and Council Member Dixon. Council Member Foley also requested additional wording be included in the plans that would allow for some flexibility to the parkway standards for the street furniture. Council Member Monahan stated that he was comfortable with the current language relative to the street furniture. Mayor Pro Tem Bever suggested that perhaps proposed changes to the standards be taken on a case-by-case basis. Council Member Monahan confirmed with Council Member Dixon the committee's intent relative to the standards established for the street furnishings. It was agreed by both the maker of the motion and the seconder to the addition of language that would provide some flexibility within the standards. The motion restated: MOTION: Adopt Resolution No. 06-30: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING SOBECA INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GP -05-11A, REGARDING A MIXED- USE OVERLAY DISTRICT; give first reading to Ordinance No. 06-9 : AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING ZONING CODE ADMENDMENT CO - 05 -05 THAT AMENDS TITLE 13 OF THE COSTA MESA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING A MIXED-USE OVERLAY DISTRICT, to be read by title only and to waive further reading; give first reading to Ordinance No. 06-10, : AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING OVERLAY ZONE PETITION R -05-06A FOR A MIXED-USE OVERLAY DISTRICT IN THE SOBECA URBAN PLAN AREA, LOCATED SOUTH OF BAKER STREET, EAST OF THE SR -73 FREEWAY, AND NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF THE SR-73/SR-55 FREEWAYS, to be read by title only and to waive further reading; and to adopt Resolution No. 06-31: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING SOBECA URBAN PLAN SP -05-06 FOR THE BRISTOL STREET CORRIDOR AREA LOCATED SOUTH OF BAKER STREET, EAST OF THE SR -73 FREEWAY, AND NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF THE SR-73/SR-55 FREEWAYS, as amended, deleting Architectural from the "Land Use Compatibility" in the SoB_ECA Plan (page 15); to delete the paragraph that reads "New development in the mixed use overlay district shall be compatible with existing development through vertical/horizontal articulation or architectural enhancements.

He expressed concern relative to the compatibility provision for the area, and suggested that absent the establishment of an acceptable standard that the provision be removed, identifying it as unworkable. Harvey Berger, Newport Beach, commented the staff on the preparation of the Urban Plans, he felt that this allows a rebirth of housing stock in Costa Mesa which would allow home ownership reducing the traffic and increasing the real estate tax revenue. Anish Baker, Irvine, legal representative for the Westside Revitalization Association, outlined the Association's opposition to the overlay zones. Jean Forbath, Costa Mesa, reminded the council of the General Plan requirement relative to the percentage of very -low to moderate income housing that must be provided in new development. Martin Pickett, representative of an industrial business on the westside, voiced opposition to the urban plans stating that there is not adequate protection for the existing businesses, felt that specific measures that address the mixed use conflicts should first be identified and encouraged Council to delay adopting the plan until that point.

Dan Gribble, former member of Westside Revitalization Oversight Committee, and business owner, expressed concern relative to density, traffic, and use compatibility issues. He encouraged the Council to delay action to allow additional time for consideration and felt that the proposed overlay uses conflict with the existing uses violating the property rights of the existing property owners and businesses.
