COSTA MESA

Residents who live near the proposed Home Ranch development expressed fears last week that the project could worsen already significant traffic problems. A meeting was held to gather community input for an environmental impact report being prepared for the 93-acre project, bordered roughly by the San Diego Freeway, Fairview Road, Sunflower Avenue and Harbor Boulevard.

C.J. Segerstrom & Sons is asking for a General Plan amendment from the city to increase the amount of development currently allowed. The land is now zoned for medium-density residential and industrial uses.
