BACKGROUND:
The residential real property (Property) located at 778 Shalimar Drive, Costa Mesa, California 92627, Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 424-051-23 was listed for sale on May 23, 2024. The 6,970 square-foot property includes a 3,390 square-foot, four-unit residential structure, with each unit having two bedrooms with one bathroom. Currently, three of the four units are occupied, with one unit vacant. The Property is adjacent to Shalimar Park, which is located in the Westside neighborhood along Shalimar Drive, between Wallace Avenue and Placentia Avenue.
In June 2024, City staff identified the potential land acquisition of the Property for additional community-serving public uses for the neighborhood. The availability of the property presented an opportunity for the City to potentially expand recreational amenities in the neighborhood, consider the development of a community center with meeting space, and explore additional affordable housing opportunities. Later that month, the City Council authorized a letter of interest to the seller to begin negotiations.
