Costa Mesa’s controversial Measure K passed by 22 votes in the Nov. 8 election, allowing high-density developments to skirt a public vote for approval in some areas in the city.

The measure won 50.03 to 49.97 percent—or 16,483 to 16,461 votes, according to Dec. 2 certified results from the county registrar.
