Discussion was held on the following items:
1. Status report on City/Mesa Draft Cooperation Agreement
Ms. Leach and Mr. Roeder provided updates of the two staff-level subcommittees
established to work through various issues and come to an agreement, possibly in the
form of a City/Mesa formal agreement. The issues include working hours, requirements
for permits, pavement reconstruction, and other construction-related items. Ms. Ohlig-
Hall mentioned that this item has been on-going for quite some time and requested an
expeditious resolution.
2. Poseidon Project
Ms. Leach gave an update of the project which proposes to create potable water
through desalination in Huntington Beach and provide the water to South Orange
County.
3. Ocean Water Quality
Mr. Hamers reviewed the efforts by the Sanitary District and the City to limit sewer spills
and contaminated urban runoff, respectively, from reaching the ocean. Mr. Hamers
reviewed the present regional sewer requirements and the forthcoming state
requirements. Mr. Roeder reviewed the City's storm water program and the
comprehensive effort required to limit pollutants from reaching the ocean.
4. Land Use Changes in Costa Mesa
Mr. Hamers reviewed a few of the significant land use changes recently occurring in
Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and Irvine. Costa Mesa is considering six condominium
tower developments in north Costa Mesa, an overlay zoning on the Westside of Costa
Mesa, and various other infill residential developments. Mr. Hamers explained the
impact on the sewer system is analyzed on a case by case basis. Director Atkinson
mentioned the Mesa Consolidated Water District infill study has considered most of the
proposed development and is in good position to serve the new developments.
5. Status of Westside GPA, Rezone and Urban Plans
Mr. Roeder introduced Ms. Kimberly Brandt who attended the meeting to explain the
four Westside Urban Plans the City Council is considering: Mesa West Bluffs, 19 West
Village, Mesa West Residential Ownership, and SOBECA. Ms. Brandt gave an
overview of the proposed overlay zonings that have the goal of revitalizing Westside
Costa Mesa by encouraging residential ownership and mixed use including work/loft
development. The Plans will be considered by the Planning Commission and the City
Council.
