AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, EXTENDING
THE EFFECT OF ORDINANCE NO. 77-14 CONCERNING
A FREEZE ON BUILDING PERMITS OR REVISED USES
IN THE GENERAL AREA BETWEEN PALACE AVENUE,
NINETEENTH STREET, POMONA AVENUE AND HAMILTON
STREET, AND, BETWEEN BERNARD STREET, CHARLE
STREET, MAPLE AVENUE, AND HAMIL^1ON STREET,
DECLARING SAID ORDINANCE TO BE AN URGENCY
ORDINANCE AND SETTING FORTH THE REASONS
THEREFOR.
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
finds and declares that Ordinance No. 77-14 was adopted as an
urgency interim ordinance to allow further studies of land uses
within said area in contemplation of zoning legislation; that
+0
said studies are not completed as yet dueAthe press of other
land developments and staff time limitations and that additional
time is needed to complete same and therefore adopts this ex-
tension of said Ordinance No. 77-14 pursuant to California Govern-
ment Code §65858 for the general health, safety and welfare of
the public.
Accordingly, the following urgency ordinance is adopted
herewith:
SECTION 2: All uses are prohibited in a general area
bounded by Hamilton Street on the north, 19th Street on the south,
Pomona Avenue on the east and Palace Avenue on'the west, and
bounded by Hamilton Street on the north, Bernard Street on the
south, Maple Avenue on the west, and Charle Street on the east,
excluding therefrom certain territory, all as appears on maps
attached to this Ordinance marked Exhibit "A" and Exhibit "B"
and by this specific reference made a part hereof.
The City staff is hereby directed not to issue any permits
of any kind for construction or use within the aforementioned area
for the duration of this Ordinance, provided that any application
for City action that has been filed with the City, or permit
issued by the City within the said area before the effective
-1-
date of Ordinance No. 77-14, shall not be denied, enjoined or other-
wise prevented from being pursued or completed solely by reason
of these Ordinances having been adopted. Such projects may be
processed or completed if otherwise approved by the City.
SECTION 3: The reasons in support of the necessity of
this urgency interim ordinance are as follows:
Existing zoning in the Study Area allows construction of
multiple units at R-3 and R-4 densities on narrow, deep lots.
Such development is creating unsafe fire protection conditions
due to inadequate water mains and inadequate and obsolete hydrants.
Traffic circulation efficiency is also reduced due to the nec-
essity for access to each narrow lot and the unimproved status
of Palace and Sterling Avenues. The continuation of R-3 and
R-4 densities on these narrow, deep lots in contributing to the
blight of this section of the City. The prevention of neighbor-
hood blight requires that existing public policy conflicts be
resolved prior to allowing further development.
That additional time is required to complete the in-depth
studies necessary to evaluate and adopt land use regulations that
benefit said Study Area and the general health, safety and wel-
fare of the public.
SECTION 4: 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 news-
paper of general circulation printed and published in the City
of Costa Mesa, together with the names of the members of the City
Council voting for and against the same.
The -City Clerk is directed to file this as a Miscellaneous
Ordinance and not file it in the Costa Mesa Municipal Code.
