Developers seeking to build a 15.23-acre mixed-use development with 1,057 apartments on an industrial area in Costa Mesa north of the 405 Freeway hosted a block party Friday days before the project will be heard by the City Council.
Held at the commercial SOCO and the OC Mix, adjacent to the proposed project location at 1683 Sunflower Ave., the rally was intended to drum up excitement and support in advance of a public hearing Tuesday.

Costa Mesa planning commissioners on Monday rejected a proposal to install LED billboards at the Triangle Square shopping center, claiming the electronic signs defy the spirit of the city’s sign ordinance and might constitute a special privilege.
The three billboards whose combined area totals nearly 2,600 square feet are part of a planned signing program intended to update the façade of the struggling retail complex, generate ad revenue and bolster tenancy.
