Council to Ponder Limits on Plaza’s Cultural Sites
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Costa Mesa City Council on Monday is expected to consider allowing the city to preserve cultural resources within South Coast Plaza. If the proposal passes, owners of designated sites must apply to change their property.
The plaza includes the outdoor sculpture garden “California Scenario.” The council has asked owner CommonWealth Partners LLC to preserve it.
CommonWealth said it doesn’t want to alter the garden but also doesn’t want to be responsible for it forever.
