COSTA MESA PLANNING COMMISSION PREVIEW

COMMUNITY OBJECTIVES

The Planning Commission will discuss what items should be considered

community objectives. Members of the City Council asked commissioners to

give their input, so the city can outline goals for the future.

WHAT IT MEANS

People who want to recommend possible community objectives would be

able to speak up during the public comment portion of this agenda item.

Resident input, combined with commissioner’s opinions, would be forwarded

to the council for final review.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Brainstorming and dialogue about possible community goals

CANOPY ORDINANCE

The Planning Commission will review a city ordinance that would change

regulations regarding the use of canopies in nonresidential and

residential zones.

WHAT IT MEANS

Certain businesses and homeowners could be affected by the changes and

asked to either add or remove canopies.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The commission is expected to recommend the adoption of changes to the

ordinance.

THREE-STORY DUPLEX

The owner of an Eastside duplex will ask the Planning Commission for

review of a design to add a rooftop deck on the existing two-story

building.

Bill L. Mason, authorized agent for owner Fabrizio Pauri, will present

the plans for the addition to the duplex in the 1500 block of San

Bernardino Place.

WHAT IT MEANS

The applicant is asking to add a sun deck to the top story of the

duplex, located in a medium-density residential zone. Although it is only

a deck, city codes identify it as a third story. Zoning on San Bernardino

Place limits structures to two stories.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The Planning Commission is expected to continue the item to the Dec.

10 meeting.
