“Okay. I will be supporting the motion and I think like you've heard from most people, I'm very enthusiastic about what I think is obviously a very new use and I appreciate you coming to Costa Mesa for this. I think we are beginning to see a lot more new development that is quite frankly just unique. I mean the Dick's House of Sport, is an unusual offering. I'm really excited about making sure we get sales tax revenue here in Costa Mesa from that use. But what I do appreciate, and I think this is where we are, where it's different for us is that we are attracting kind of the third places um…”

“Can I jump in before you get to that one? Go ahead. Thank you. So looking at page 376, that first section under applicability. So it seems to suggest that there's, I hate to use the word supremacy, but that there is for the mood standards. AND IN FACT THAT SECOND SENTENCE SAYS DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARTICLE SHALL SUPERCEDE AND PREVAIL OVER ANY CONFLICTING PROVISIONS OF THE UNDERLYING BASE ZONE AND ALL OTHER APPLICABLE ZONING PROVISIONS SUCH AS OTHER OVERLAY SPECIFIC PLANS AND THEN HERE COMES THE NEBULOUS CATCH-ALL UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. SO AGAIN WHAT IS THAT UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED MEAN? yeah…”

“I CAN UNDERSTAND THE STATE'S PERSPECTIVE ON THAT BUT IF WE WERE TO MODIFY THAT TO JUST SAY HOUSING ELEMENT SITES WOULD THAT BY DEFINITION COVER LOW INCOME HOUSING ELEMENT SITES?”

“Okay, but that would mean at some point future housing cycles we'd have to come through and add a new narrative specifically for non-low income housing element sites.”
