Costa Mesa greenlights Fairview housing project
The plan covers the old state hospital grounds in the city.
Costa Mesa has given the go-ahead to the Fairview Development Center. This large-scale housing project will rise where a state hospital once stood. The approval clears the way for construction on the campus property.
Why it matters: More homes are coming to the area, which may affect local availability and neighborhood character.
