AI Contract Overview
The City of Costa Mesa is advancing a comprehensive zoning and housing implementation initiative under Measure K to address regional housing needs, comply with California State Housing Law, and fulfill its obligated Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 11,760 units with an additional buffer, totaling 17,042 units on Housing Element-identified sites, and extending development capacity to non-Housing Element sites. This effort involves amending the Mixed-Use Overlay District (MUOD) within Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code to streamline zoning regulations across urban plans, overlays, and specific plans, enabling increased residential and mixed-use development on designated commercial and industrial parcels. The project anticipates a full buildout by 2056 with approximately 21,522 new dwelling units and 17.3 million square feet of commercial space, resulting in net new non-residential development of about 10.6 million square feet on top of existing commercial and industrial land uses. Implementation includes rezoning, regulatory consolidation, and adoption of Objective Design Standards to ensure pedestrian-friendly, visually compatible, and transit-supportive development that aligns with the General Plan, CALGreen, and state laws like SB 330, while mandating compliance with environmental review standards under CEQA and Cal/OSHA, as well as hazardous materials protocols governed by ASTM E1527-21, ASTM E1903-19, and state health and safety codes. The Planning Area is subject to robust environmental oversight, requiring Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments, asbestos and lead surveys certified by the California Department of Public Health, adherence to SCAQMD air quality thresholds, and compliance with noise ordinances and groundwater and vapor intrusion guidelines from DTSC and SWRCB. The project’s evaluation framework draws from the Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) model, weighting factors such as Land Capability Classification and Storie Index Rating at 25% each, Water Resource Availability and Surrounding Agricultural Lands at 15% each, Project Size at 15%, and Surrounding Protected Resource Lands at 5%, though these are applied to environmental impact analysis rather than contractor selection. No contract value, pricing details, or federal procurement mechanisms such as WAWF invoicing, COR/COTR assignments, or FAR contract clauses are specified, indicating this is a municipal land use and planning initiative governed by local code and environmental law rather than a federal contract. The initiative is led by the City
