7. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
7.1 Report from Community Development Director - On-The-House PermIt
Program. (C2500.G.2.0)
SUMMARY: The On- The-House-Permits program enables the owners of certain residences in
the City to submit improvement plans to the City of Orange Community Development
Department for review and approval without paying building plan review and inspection fees
only for a limited period of time. Other building permit processing fees, plauning fees and
other agencies fees will be still applicable.
Discussion - City Manager, John Sibley stated that the program is an effort to enhance the
neighborhood improvement program and stated that the projects in the Old Towne Historic
District have a longer lead time since they have to also be reviewed by the Design Review
Committee.
Councilmember Bilodeau stated he was leaning toward holding off on this program for another
year to possibly fund more police offieer positions; but could see the benefits of the program,
in that the improvements could increase the value of homes which then increased the property
taxes received which could provide future funding for police staffing.
RESOLUTION NO. 10199
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Orange establishing a citywide residential fee
waiver program for Building Plan Check and Building Permits.
MOTION - Cavecche
SECOND - Dumitru
AYES - Smith, Murphy, Cavecche, Dumitru, Bilodeau
Moved to adopt Resolution No. 10199.
FISCAL IMPACT: It is estimated that the hard costs could range from $60,000 to $90,000.
The offset in additional property tax to the City would be approximately $20,000 per year. It is
estimated that nearly half this amount might have accrued to the City under normal conditions.
It is estimated an additional cost of $70,000 for plan check and inspection contractual services
as part of the proposed Fiscal Year 2007 - 2008 budget.

7.2 Report from Community Development Director - Planning Commission review of
the Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance. (A2500.0 Ord-04-05)
SUMMARY: A significant increase in the number of requests for installation of wireless
communication facilities has lead the Planning Commission to review the current City
regulations governing these installations and to consider possible amendments. The Planning
Commission has held a number of workshops to consider the current regulations, review other
regulations, and to provide the City Council with potential areas of study and amendment to
the wireless ordinance.
Discussion - Assistant Community Development Director, Ed Knight reported that the main
areas of consideration are larger distances between cell towers and neighborhoods; encourage
the co-location on existing towers; and screening of hardware on the ground.
In response to questions by Couneil, Mr. Knight stated that further discussion is needed
regarding co-location on older non-stealth poles versus requiring installation of stealth poles;
increasing the presence of more towers; and the need for balancing the screening of the ground
level hardware while addressing visibility measures required by the Police Department for
crime prevention purposes.
Councilmember Smith asked that more cities be surveyed, as well as San Diego, San
Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties.

NO. 1786-07 (TOYOTA OF ORANGE 52-BAY SERVICE FACILITY) APPELLANT-
GVD COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, INC. (A4000.0 App-0518-07)
SUMMARY: Time set for public hearing to consider an appeal of the Planning Commission's
approval to allow the remodel of an existing commercial structure, including related site
improvements, to create a 52-bay service facility as an ancillary use to an existing Toyota
automotive sales business, at 1485 N. Tustin Street.
NOTE: Councilmember Murphy recorded an abstention on this item due to a conflict of
interest with his wife's employment; and left the dais.
Discussion - Mr. Stephen Miles, Attorney for GVD Properties, spoke on the project analysis;
emissions generated by the project; and CEQA guidelines on potential impacts.
Mr. Patrick Perry, GVD Properties representative, spoke on land use compatibility and whether
the project qualifies as a major versus minor auto repair facility according to the Zoning Code;
parking problems with employees not using the spaces provided, but rather parking on the
street; and traffic on Van Owen. He requested that if the project were approved, the
conditions of approval include no auto body work or painting on-site and a requirement for
employees to park on project property.
Councilmember Smith confirmed with the City Attorney that Council could address issues
regarding parking and traffic that had not been stated in the original appeal form.
Councilmember Bilodeau discussed the appellant's concern over the way the trip numbers
were calculated, questioned the amount of trip credits identified, stating that the traffic study
was factual and well written.
Mr. Casey Griffin, representing Toyota of Orange was available for questions.
Jeffrey Oderman, Attorney for Toyota of Orange, addressed the main concerns by Mr. Miles.
He stated that the City followed the normal course of procedures in the environmental study of
the project; that the decision on air quality issues is based on substantial evidence; clarified
hours of operation during a normal construction day; and that the need for an ErR is triggered
by cumulative impacts caused by a project.
He also addressed the concerns by Mr. Perry, stating that the Zoning Code identifies a major
auto service use involves body work or painting, but this is a minor auto repair business; that
the project has adequate parking, allowing three spaces for every service bay; and noted that
Van Owen will not be impacted with this project.

In response to questions by Councilmember Smith, the Toyota representatives stated that the
additional 23 parking spaces are on the west side of the project; and that the vacant land was
leased for two years from GVD, but the lease has terminated.
Mayor Cavecche confirmed that the construction time was scheduled at six months; that
employee parking would be available on the west and east side of the facility to address
pedestrian traffic crossing Tustin Street; that no painting or body work would occur; and that it
is current practice for trucks to park in the middle of the street when making deliveries.
THE MAYOR OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING -
Speakers - Craig Neustedter, Traffic Engineer consultant for GVD, stated the traffic impaet
report is flawed.
Siobhan Byrne, representative for GVD Commercial Properties, spoke on noise concerns and
alternatives uses for the project site.
Keith Cooper, Air Quality consultant, Jones and Stokes, explained that there are regional and
localized thresholds on emissions.
Chad Beckstrom, Project Manager, Jones and Stokes, spoke on the noise analysis being a part
of the Negative Declaration.
The Applicant's representatives did not offer any further testimony.
The Appellant's representatives stated that the project statements are flawed; and that the CUP
will run with the land, and requested the prohibition of auto body work and painting on this
project site.
THE MAYOR CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING-
City Attorney, David DeBerry stated that the Council is able to address issues even though
they are not specifically outlined in the appeal form.
Councilmember Smith clarified that this CUP, being granted for a minor auto repair faeility,
precludes auto body work and painting by Code; that on-site parking for the project is
supposed be contained on the site; and that it is not uncommon for threshold numbers to be just
below limits.
Mayor pro tem Dumitru confirmed that this is an enclosed faeility with service bay doors, and
that no body work or painting is allowed with this use. He clarified that deliveries are made at
random times; and that the building is the former bowling alley next to the Southern California
Edison property.
Councilmember Bilodeau stated he had not heard any viable arguments that the traffic study
was prepared incorrectly and had not been persuaded that the document was insufficient.

(See Redevelopment Agency Minutes Item 9.1 for related item)
Time set for public hearing to consider adoption of the proposed FY 2007-08 City of Orange

Discussion: Mayor pro tern Dumitru stated the Emergency Transport Program's expenditures
outweigh revenues and that he would be monitoring the work plan and evaluating alternatives;
thanked staff for meeting the Mayor's direction for six new police officer positions; and
suggested expenses and memberships that the Council and City Management Staff could cut to
fund needed staff positions, suggesting perhaps a part-time trails coordinator position.
Councilmember Smith commented that the funding for a quiet zone or rail safety program was
not included. She added that the Working Capital Fund for unfunded, unanticipated one-time
proj ects may be considered for this purpose. She further stated that included in this budget is

City Manager, John Sibley stated that staff is working on a funding designation for Quiet
Zones with a request to Orange County Transportation Authority for a funding match.
Councilmember Bilodeau thanked the City Manager and staff for finding the funds for more
police officers. He commented on the funding of the City's Resource Center, expressing
concern over a potential liability with placing workers, and suggested a review of the Resource
Center operation.
Mayor pro tern Dumitru agreed with a need to review the Resource Center operation.
Councilmember Murphy echoed his thanks to staff, adding that approval of the budget as
presented serves to establish a plan and groundwork, and does not force the Council to spend
all the funds as designated, suggesting that issues raised be brought back for further study. He
added his support for the staffing issues raised, as well as cutting travel budgets.
Mayor Cavecche stated that the six new officer positions for Fiscal Year 2007-08 was a good
start to the five year plan to add 18 additional officers. She also commented on the Council's
focus on neighborhood preservation, aggressive efforts to eradicate graffiti, and additional
code enforcement staff to pursue Code violations. She added her thanks to staff for including
the El Modena Library program in the Capital Improvement Plan.
