Council Member Allan Mansoor this Monday briefed Orange County Chapter members of the distinguished land economics society, Lambda Alpha International, on the numerous challenges that Costa Mesa leadership and city staff are grappling with.

His presentation at a recent chapter luncheon touched on recently passed Measure Y, which requires certain development projects to get voter approval and Measure X, which allows for distribution and manufacturing of medical marijuana in restricted areas of the city.

In addition, he spoke about the city’ overlay zones as well as how the city is dealing with sober living homes.

Joining Council Member Mansoor at the luncheon were interim Director of Economic Development Jay Trevino, Deputy City Attorney Tarquin Preziosi and Zoning Administrator Willa Bouwens-Killeen.

Membership of Lambda Alpha International includes architects, engineers, real estate developers, planners, government officials, professors, bankers, attorneys, real estate consultants, and officials of organizations both national and international.
