Currently, the Specific Plan for this sub- area allows up to 760,000 square feet of office and office -related uses at an FAR of 0.40. The recommended alternative would allow residential uses at a maximum density of 40 dwelling units per acre; the intensity of nonresidential uses would increase to an FAR of 1.50. The new General Plan land use designation would be Urban Center Mixed Use, with the goal of integrating modest -scale professional offices and high-density residential uses. Parking structures would be encouraged to create opportunities for plazas and open spaces integral to development. Restrictions would apply to residential development within 500 feet of Interstate 405, including the use of buffering, sound walls, landscaping, air filtration systems, and similar measures to reduce noise and air quality impacts. • Area C: Sakioka Lot 2 This alternative would revise the North Costa Mesa Specific Plan development standards for the Sakioka Lot 2 sub -area, which is located south of Sunflower Drive and west of State Route 55. The Specific Plan for this sub -area currently allows a mix of retail and office at 1.00 FAR. The Draft Recommended Land Use would allow a maximum residential density of 40 dwelling units per acre and an FAR of 1.50. This designation is intended to encourage moderate -scale mixed-use development that balances high-density residential and professional office uses. Commercial and retail uses would also be allowed to support surrounding residential and professional office uses. Restrictions would apply to residential development within 500 feet of Interstate 405, including the use of buffering, sound walls, landscaping, air filtration systems, and similar measures to reduce noise and air quality impacts. Area D: Residential Overlay The Residential Overlay would create opportunities for residential development at strategic locations along Harbor Boulevard and Newport Boulevard. This designation would allow for new -high density residential uses in areas where only commercial uses were previously allowed. The Overlay would also increase development opportunities on underutilized motel and commercial properties. The ground floor of new buildings would be required to have retail frontage along Harbor Boulevard and Newport Beach Boulevard to engage pedestrians and create a lively streetscape. Side streets could include ground floor residential uses so that each unit has individual access to the sidewalks. Stoops and entry porches would be encouraged to balance privacy with formal access. Buildings can be up to four stories in height, provided privacy concerns of established neighborhoods are adequately addressed through the setbacks of upper stories or other design approaches. 1 Revised Page 4 — 4/28/2014 • Area E: Corridor Mixed Use Designation The intent of the Corridor Mixed Use designation is to introduce limited residential development opportunity along the southern portion of Harbor Boulevard and the western portion of 19th Street, and to increase development opportunities for underutilized commercial sites and motel properties. Proposed residential uses would complement the commercial corridor by introducing new housing within walking distance of commercial services and retail uses along Harbor Boulevard and 19th Street. Established automobile dealerships are encouraged to remain. New buildings must be designed with sensitivity to surrounding low-density residential neighborhoods, with features such as increased setbacks, stepped - down rear building facades, and landscaped buffers. The new proposed Corridor Mixed Use designation would accommodate moderate - scale residential and commercial mixed-use developments appropriately scaled. Development approaches would include both horizontal and vertical mixed use. Ground -floor commercial frontage and signature architectural elements at designated focal locations would be required. • Area F: Westside Overlay District The Westside Overlay intends to introduce a diverse mix of uses with the objective of creating a much more integrated, walkable, and complementary balance of creative industrial and office spaces, neighborhood -serving retail and commercial services, and residential uses. The Overlay allows mixed use, stand-alone (or single use) multi -unit residential, commercial, retail, and creative light industrial uses. Creative light industrial uses could consist of innovative start-up and creative design businesses in the arts, engineering, sciences, marine, technology, and information industries. This Overlay also facilitates neighborhood -serving commercial uses such as restaurants, cafes, and small shops and service businesses. Multi -unit residential uses would be allowed, particularly developments that encourage ownership. The Westside Overlay designation would be ideal for encouraging mixed uses, including live work uses that combine residential occupancy with commercial activity on the ground floor in the same building space, with the resident using the nonresidential space for his or her business. Typical uses would include lofts, creative studio spaces, small offices, and similar low -intensity uses. This designation also would provide affordable office space to small businesses and organizations which are engaged in innovative activities, including incubator businesses. With regard to industrial uses, established industrial uses are allowed to continue and expand. New residential development must recognize long-established industrial uses and should be designed to minimize conflicts. New creative industrial workspace would be permitted, provided that activities limit or confine noise, dust, and vibration impacts. Established low-density residential neighborhoods identified in the General Plan Land Use Plan in the Westside would not be subject to any land use designation changes. Zoning and other regulatory controls would be applied to provide compatibility between established and new uses. 2 4 April 29, 2014 CITY OF COSTA MESA City Council General Plan Workshop Recommended Draft Land Uses © Hoglo-troland 11LMOf► GE'll 1 Recommended Draft Land Use Changes t ' f Introduction Land Use Alternatives Areas ■ Area A: Business Park Overlay ■ Area B: Segerstrom Home Ranch • Area C: Sakioka Lot 2 ■ Area D- Residential Overlay ■ Area E: Corridor Mixed Use ■ Area F: Westside Overlay ■ Area G: Newport Boulevard Mixed Use • Area H: SoBECA IR- 6F C051A MESA .'.
