One Metro West

The One Metro West project in Costa Mesa, California, has been modified to replace a previously approved 25,000-square-foot creative office building with a new 42,000-square-foot resident office and amenity building that includes a leasing office, flexible co-working spaces, and enhanced indoor and outdoor amenities to support a work-from-home lifestyle. The redesign also increases the size of residential units to incorporate den space, while reconfiguring Building A and Building C from a wrap layout to a podium design, consolidating parking into one self-contained structure per building. These changes reduce the total number of residential units from 1,057 to 957 and lower density from 69.4 to 62.8 dwelling units per acre, with a corresponding reduction in parking spaces from 1,914 to 1,766. The revised plan expands communal and recreational amenities across the site and updates the Master Plan and Tentative Tract Map No. 19015, both of which are deemed to be in substantial conformance with prior approvals, allowing for administrative approval by the City’s Planning Division without requiring additional discretionary action. The project is focused on environmental and stormwater compliance under CEQA and NPDES regulations, with supporting documentation including a Water Quality Management Plan, geotechnical report, operations and maintenance plan, and educational materials. The primary applicant is Rose Equities, with oversight managed by the City of Costa Mesa’s Development Services Department, and key contacts include Victor Mendez, Senior Planner, and Brent Stoll of Rose Equities. The estimated contract value ranges from $4,612.20 to $7,798.80, based on line-item pricing for stormwater best management practices and infrastructure components identified in the procurement elements. Though the document contains numerous technical specifications, calculations, and compliance certifications—such as absence of hazardous materials, litter control, catch basin inspections, and street sweeping—it does not include federal acquisition regulation clauses, federal contract types, or standard federal contracting terms like FAR clauses, WAWF invoicing, COR/COTR assignment, or AAC/TAS accounting codes. All requirements are local in nature, governed by Costa Mesa Municipal Code, California Fire Code, CalGreen, and other state and regional environmental standards. Submission of documents must be made in hard copy and PDF format to the City’s Development Services Department, with no formal deadline specified in the materials provided.
