The state's plan to redevelop part of the 114-acre Fairview Developmental Center in Costa Mesa into a regional emergency operations center is getting pushback from city officials and residents, who view the property as a crucial site for needed housing. Locals last Thursday showed up at the state-owned complex to learn more about a proposal by California's Office of Emergency Services to build a 35,000-square-foot office, a warehouse for vehicle and commodity storage, a helipad and a 120-foot communication tower on a 15-acre portion of the property's southwest corner.
