Bear Street Residential Project

The Bear Street Residential Project in Costa Mesa, California, entails the development of 142 for-sale townhomes on an infill site, with a commitment to provide five percent of the units—up to seven homes—as very low-income affordable housing, qualifying the project for a 20 percent density bonus under the State Density Bonus Law. The project includes private roadways, parking, pedestrian walkways, landscaped common areas, and approximately 93,500 square feet of open space and recreational amenities. Approved by the City of Costa Mesa on August 5, 2025, and filed with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder on August 7, 2025, the development has completed its environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) with the issuance of a Negative Declaration, indicating no significant environmental impact. The City of Costa Mesa serves as the lead agency overseeing compliance, with Chris Yeager, Senior Planner, designated as the primary point of contact for administrative and regulatory matters. The project is structured as a forecast announcement with no identified contract value, pricing structure, or formal federal procurement clause application, and no federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clauses or standard procurement terms such as payment instructions, invoicing systems, contracting officer roles, or evaluation factors are present. The location of performance is firmly established at the infill site in Costa Mesa with a zip code of 92626, and there is no indication of federal contract type, delivery schedules, FOB terms, packaging requirements, or specific inspection standards beyond adherence to state housing and environmental mandates. MLC Holdings, LLC is the proposed developer, and while no Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, or socioeconomic status certification is disclosed, the project’s affirmative commitment to affordable housing fulfills a state-mandated incentive condition rather than a federal procurement requirement.
