COSTA MESA
A workshop to inform business owners of the West Side Specific Plan will take place today at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. Business owners are encouraged to attend to voice their concerns and opinions before the plan is completed.
The idea is to create long-range strategic plans “to improve and enhance conditions in the southwest area of the community,” the city’s Planning Department has said. This may include rezoning the land--an idea that has many business owners worried.
Business owners recently expressed concern about possibly being forced to relocate their businesses as support has grown to make the West Side more resident-friendly. In August, residents who attended a meeting expressed support for rezoning the bluffs area for upscale homes and replacing heavy industrial uses with those involving research and development.
The city inadvertently did not invite 1,600 business and property owners to a community forum on the West Side Specific Plan in September.
