Very Important Planning Commission Meeting On Monday

PACKED AGENDA FOR MONDAY
The Costa Mesa Planning Commission meets again beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, March 14, 2016 in City Council Chambers at City Hall for a VERY important meeting.  You can read the full agenda HERE.

CODE ENFORCEMENT UPDATE
Right off the bat the commission will receive a Code Enforcement Update, HERE.  I think you'll find this staff report VERY interesting.  It tells us about the recent reorganization, the new reporting relationship - it reports directly to Development Services Director Gary Armstrong - and the combination of resources under one umbrella, the Code Enforcement/Community Improvement Division.  Read the report.

GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND DRAFT EIR
Next up is the Public Hearing, #1, HERE, for the 2015-2035 General Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Report.  In an earlier report I told you that the General Plan is over 400 pages and the Draft Environmental Report is over 1,200 pages.  Click on those titles if you want some "light" reading.  The 45 day period for public input has commenced and will end on April 18, 2016.

AMENDMENTS TO SOBECA AND WESTSIDE URBAN PLANS
Public Hearing #2, HERE, is the Amendments to the SOBECA and Westside Urban Plans.  This will be another lengthy hearing due to the nature of the changes recommended and the likelihood of many members of the public wishing to offer their views.  Take a few minutes to read through the staff report and digest the changes recommended.

A LONG NIGHT AHEAD...
It's likely to be a long evening Monday.  Bring a pillow.
