Do you support increasing density (sometimes called "up-zoning") and/or allowing greater building heights along major roads, bus routes, and/or near rail stations? Are there any areas in your city that may be suitable for "up-zoning"?
How do you respond to "NIMBY" residents who resist new housing development and/or oppose increasing housing density?
Do you believe your city should provide its "fair share" of permanent supportive housing (PSH) needed in Orange County? If yes, would you work with neighboring cities and/or the county to fund the construction of PSH? What other policies would you support to demonstrate your city's commitment to meeting the overall countywide need for PSH?
What are your thoughts on "inclusionary zoning"? What other policies would you support whereby private developers could build more low-to-moderate income housing?
If Proposition 10 passes in November, cities will be able to enact new or expand existing rent control laws. What are your thoughts on local government regulating rental markets and/or other tenant protections, such as "just cause evictions"?

Why Support This Development? These are #MissingMiddle Homes
-Moderate density - 3 stories
-Mid-level price range - $600Ks
-Affordable to middle class workforce

The Olson Company is proposing 38 3-story townhomes along Ford Rd. near the intersection of Newport Blvd. in Costa Mesa. This development would provide #MissingMiddle housing for middle class workers priced at $600K in a city where the current median home price is well over $800K.

The location is approximately 2 blocks from The Triangle, a multi-story entertainment, dining, and retail center. The location is currently occupied by a trailer supply and RV storage facility, so no current residents will be displaced by the development or have their views obstructed. The proposed community aligns with Costa Mesa’s vision for development and the General Plan.

This #MissingMiddle Housing development needs support before the Costa Mesa Planning Commission on
Monday, September 10th @ 6PM
