travel ways located within Planning Areas B,C �,,.
and D of Rio Santiago. These streets incorporate
design constraints such as driveways. The
continuity of the street character is essential to
establish a safe pedestrian friendly environment.
�5..�
Key elements of the streetscape design include:
• Single row of large canopy trees along travel ,__
ways.
• Curb separated walkway on one side if the
street with shrub and groundcover planting in
parkway at Single-Family Residential.
• Upgraded light standards with pedestrian "'
scaled dimensions.
• Enhanced hardscape and sidewalk paving to �
establish a quality appearance(such as
enhanced concrete or pavers at crosswalks and
road splits).
• Landscape design to retain small event storm
water and muumize or eliminate runoff
Refer to Figure 4.24 and Figure 425—Residential
Street Sections.

Policy 1.1: Maintain a land use structure that balances jobs and housing with available infrastructure and
public and human services.
Policy 1.2: Balance economic gains from new development while preserving the character and densities
of residential neighborhoods.
Policy 1.3: Provide a range of housing densities and types to meet the diverse needs and lifestyles of
residents.
Policy 1.4: Ensure that new development reflects existing design standards,qualities,and features that
are in context with nearby development.
Policy 1.5: Prioritize recreation and open space uses at Irvine Lake and protect historic visual resources
in east Orange.

LAND USE ELEMENT
Specific Plan Consistency:
The Specific Plan not only contributes to this City-wide goal of providing a diverse and balanced mix of
land uses,but also does so within its own boundaries. The Specific Plan meets the objectives of Goal 1.0 by
creating opportunities for a range of residential products that will appeal to both age-qualified and non
age-qualified residents who may or may not have special healthcare needs(Policy 1.3). Proposed
residential products include age-qualified Villas,independent living, assisted living/skilled nursing
facilities, as well as non age-qualified single-family detached homes(Policy 1.3). In addition,the project
provides multiple generations of Orange residents with an array of active and passive,public and private,
recreation and open space opportunities for health and wellness,which may include amenities such as a
private multi-purpose community facility and ball fields,possible Autism Center and educational
opportunities, as well as multiple passive public trails and natural preserved open space open to the
community,and additional private amenities located within Planning Area C(Policy 1.7). The City's
.�,
Municipal Code requires that the proposed project comply with one of the following: (1)Payment of City
Park Fees(Quimby fees);(2)Dedication of land to the City that meets City requirements;or(3)A
combination of fees and land dedication. Based on the provisions of the City's Municipal Code,the City re
Council may require park land dedication or require payment of fees, or both at its discretion(Policy 1.7).
The massing of the age-qualified neighborhood in Planning Area C has been designed to reflect the
existing character of the surrounding community,by incorporating one and two story elements along
Santiago Canyon Road and the Main Entry Road into the Community,then stepping up to a three-story
element in the middle of the site, and then back down to one and two-story elements along the Creek edge,
consistent with the Mabury community north of the Creek.All low density single-family residents within
Planning Area D that are adjacent to the existing Reserve community will be one and two story massing,
consistent with what is reflected at the Reserve.In addition,allowed architecture styles listed within the
Specific plan relate to California's rich heritage and rural flavor of its agriculture roots,which are
consistent with the existing residential neighborhoods that surround the project(Policy 1.4). The Specific
Plan includes architectural and landscape design criteria to provide greater assurance that the project will `
be developed as a high quality,distinctive community that not only enhances the visual quality of the site,
but also blends well with the existing architectural styles and landscape character found in the
surrounding areas and the existing natural open space. In addition,the 50-acre Santiago Creek Greenway
Reserve-Planning Area A serves as a buffer between the proposed development and the existing homes
located to the north of Rio Santiago.The 50 acres will remain as public natural open space for the
community(Policies 1.4 and 1.6). Rio Santiago will si�nultaneously provide housing for the under-served
but growing age-qualified market segment and create jobs associated with the proposed recreational uses
and age-qualified facilities.The Specific Plan includes a backbone infrastructure system that is designed to
meet the needs of the development within Rio Santiago. The Specific Plan and project EIR also ensures
that ade uate ublic services will be available to the Rio Santia o residents(Policies 1.1 and 1.2).

Employment in the age-qualified living community would be for management,services and amenities
directly related to age-qualified housing,while open space/recreation areas would provide further
employment opportunities within the multi-purpose community facility that may include an Autism
Center and education facility(Policies 1.1 and 1.2). The proposed project does not have any effect or
connection with Irvine Lake, and therefore Policy 1.5 does not apply.
Encouraging Mixed Use
Goal 2.0: Create successful, high quality mixed-use districts consisting of a mix of residential,
commercial, office, civic, and common open space land uses, supported by
alternative modes of transportation
Policy 2.1: Encourage development of mixed-use projects to revitalize older commercial areas
throughout the City and industrial areas surrounding the historic Santa Fe Depot.
Policy 2.2: Encourage transfers of development rights within areas designated Urban Mixed-use on the
Land Use Policy Map to promote development of high-rise office and residential struciures at
compatible locations.
Policy 2.3: Encourage transfers of development rights within areas designated Neighborhood Mixed-use
and Old Towne Mixed-use on the Land Use Policy Map to promote historic preservation and
creation of open spaces accessible to the community.
Policy 2.4: Encourage mixed-use projects that contain a variety of compatible uses,and provide
necessary supporting public and community facilities.
Policy 2.5: Minimize traffic and parking impacts of proposed mixed-use projects.
Policy 2.6: Encourage linkage in and around mixed-use areas using a multi-modal circulation network,
particularly transit,pedestrian sidewalks,paths and paseos, and bicycle and trail systems.
Policy 2.7: Ensure that the architecture,landscape design,and site planning of mixed-use projects are of
the highest quality, and that they emphasize a pedestrian orientation and safe, convenient
access between uses.
Policy 2.8: Ensure that adequate gathering areas or plazas are incorporated within mixed-use projects
and areas to allow for social interaction and community activities.
Policy 2.9: Encourage mixed-use development to include ground floor retail.
Specific Plan Consistency:
Although the Specific Plan provides a diverse and balanced mix of residential,recreational,accessory and
open space uses,it is not located within any of the Neighborhood,Old Towne,or Urban Mixed-Use
Districts designated on the City's General Plan Land Use Policy Map,which the above Goa12.0 refers to in
the General Plan document. Per the General Plan, all of the mixed-use designations encourage a creative
blend of commercial retail,office,housin ,civic,and entertainment uses.Per the Ci 's definition,mixed-

use will activate neighborhoods throughout the day,unlike single-use office districts that are often
deserted at night.Mixed-use buildings are often vertically mixed,with commercial space on the first floor
and residential or office space above.The City's definition of Mixed-Use does not relate to what is
proposed at Rio Santiaga Therefore Goa12.0 and related policies 2,1,2.2,2.3,2.4,2.5,2.6,2.7,2.8,and 2.9
do not apply to the Rio Santiago project.
Vibrant Commercial District
Goal 3.0: Create commercial uses that provide a solid economic base and employment
opportunities and identify Orange as an attractive and diverse shopping destination.
Policy 3.1: Promote development of revenue-generating land uses that help defray the costs of high
quality public services.
Policy 3.2: Actively promote the City as a place to shop and conduct business,and encourage local
patronage of Orange businesses.
Policy 3.3: Improve vehicular,pedestrian,and visual connections between commercial areas and the rest
of the community.
Policy 3.4: Discourage commercial and industrial enterprises that have significant adverse soil,air,
water,or noise impacts.
Specific Plan Consistency:
Although the Specific Plan provides a diversity of uses that will offer employment opportunities in
management and services directly related to the senior living and the recreational/open space uses,it does
not propose a commercial district. The allowed ancillary uses,such as a juice bar for the recreation facility
or a dining area for the senior community,will specifically be available to a limited number of on-site
users;however,these uses are ancillary to the recreation and residential uses on-site, and are not the �.
primary commercial land uses that the above Goa13.0 refers to.Therefore,Goa13.0 and associated policies
have very limited application to the Rio Santiago project.
Sustainable Industrial and Office Uses
Goal 4.0: Encourage high quality, sustainable, industrial and office uses that provide jobs and ,
revenue; support environmental quality; and promote options for adaptive re-use.
Policy 4.1: Maximize use of limited land resources for industrial and office uses within areas designated
Light Industrial or industrial on the Land Use Policy Map.
Policy 4.2: Encourage development of professional office space located near medical institutions and
County facilities.
Policy 4.3: Protect residents and the environment from potential adverse soil,air,water,and noise
impacts of industrial operations.
Poli 4.4: Encoura e develo ment of mixed office,industrial,and su ort commercial uses in areas

designated Light Industrial on the Land Use Policy Map.
Policy 4.5: Accommodate a wide variety of industrial uses that contribute to a healthy and diverse
economic base.
Specific Plan Consistency:
The Rio Santiago project is envisioned primarily as an age-qualified living and low density single-family
residential community with public open space and recreational uses. Ancillary office uses directly related
to the age-qualified housing component and the potential multi-purpose community facility,possible
Autism Center,etc. component of the project may be provided. The Specific Plan encourages sustainable
residential and recreation development per Chapter 5 of the Specific Plan. The project will not include
stand-alone office or industrial uses on-site. The site contains no existing buildings,so adaptive re-use is
not possible.For these reasons,the above goal and policies do not apply to the Rio Santiago project.
Old Towne Orange
Goal 5.0: Maintain and enhance the vibrant,transit-accessible, pedestrian-friendly, and livable
character of Old Towne's neighborhoods and commercial core.
Policy 5.1: Promote targeted development of mixed-use, transit-oriented development surrounding the
Santa Fe Depot to achieve development intensities compatible with the fabric of Old Towne.
Policy 5.2: Promote adaptive re-use of previously industrial and agriculiural historic structures for
residential,office, or commercial purposes.
Policy 5.3: Continue to promote institutional and civic uses located throughout Old Towne.
Policy 5.4: Develop additional sensitively designed public parking throughout Old Towne.
Policy 5.5: Continue to require consistent,high quality,historically-referenced design within Old Towne.
Policy 5.6: Continue to upgrade infrastructure throughout Old Towne.
Policy 5.7: Ensure that roadway improvements within Old Towne are designed to promote walkability
and a safe pedestrian environment.
Policy 5.8: Maintain balance between Old Towne and Chapman University's growth,so that the
University complements rather than detracts from Old Towne.
Policy 5.9: Promote attractive and safe pedestrian access between the Santa Fe Depot and the Plaza.
Specific Plan Consistency:
The Specific Plan area is located in East Orange and is not located in the vicinity of Old Towne Orange.
Therefore,this goal and the related policies do not apply to the Rio Santiago project.

Contextual and Environmental Compatibility
Goal 6.0: Advance development activity that is mutually bene�cial to both the environment
and the community.
Policy 6.1: Ensure that new development is compatible with the style and design of established
structures and the surrounding environment.
Policy 6.2: In areas where residential uses abut commercial or industrial land uses,use buffering
techniques to improve compatibility.Such techniques include the use of setbacks,screening,
and soundwalls with pedestrian access,and appearance standards.
Policy 6.3: Establish and maintain greenways and pedestrian and bicycle connections that complement
the residential,commercial and open space areas they connect.
Policy 6.4: Create and maintain open space resources that provide recreational opportunities,protect
hillside vistas and ridgelines,and conserve natural resources.
Policy 6.5: Reduce pollutant runoff from new development and urban runoff to the maximum extent
practicable.
Policy 6.6: Enhance the walkability of both new and current development.
Policy 6.7: Integrate natural amenities and connections,including waterways and wildlife corridors,
within the design of urban and suburban spaces.
Policy 6.8: Maximize landscaping along streetscapes and within development projects to enhance public
health and environmental benefits.
Policy 6.9: Restrict development in areas where exposure to hazards such as flood,erosion,liquefaction,
dam failure,hazardous materials,and toxic gases cannot be mitigated to reduce risk to
residents and liability to the City.
Policy 6.10: Mitigate adverse air,noise,circulation,and other environmental impacts caused by new
development adjacent to existing neighborhoods through use of sound walls,landscaping
buffers,speed limits, and other traffic control measures.
Policy 6.1L• Recognize the value of natural and culiural resources in the undeveloped portions of the
planning area.
Policy 6.12: Maximize the land use opportunities for the Irvine Lake area by providing a mix of uses,such
as lodging,housing, and recreational uses
Specific Plan Consistency:
The Specific Plan includes architectural and landscape design guidelines(refer to Chapter 4)to give
greater assurance that the project will be developed as a high quality,distinctive community that not only
enhances the visual quality of the site,but also blends with the existing architectural styles and landscape
character found in the surroundin nei hborhoods(Polic 6.1). An inte rated network of trails is lanned

throughout the Specific Plan area to provide internal connectivity and a safe environment for pedestrian,
bicycle and equestrian travel(Policy 6.3). The proposed pedestrian and bikeway circulation system also
provides potential connections to existing trails in the surrounding areas(Policy 6.6). The project retains
the Santiago Creek in its existing condition as natural open space,greenway and wildlife corridor to
preserve the Creek's riparian habitat(Policies 6.4 and 6.7). Landscape parkways will be provided along
streets in the Specific Plan area to enhance the site's visual quality,facilitate pedestrian ease of use and
maximize environmental benefits. (Policy 6.8) Site development measures that reduce impacts of storm
water and urban runoff generated from the project include structural and non-structural best management
practices(BMPs)and low impact development(LID)strategies for post-construction water quality
protection,as described in Chapter 3 as well as in the project EIR(Policy 6.5). The Specific Plan includes
design features to minimize adverse air,noise,circulation and other environmental impacts to
surrounding areas,such as providing trails on-site to encourage walking and biking and reduce
automobile trips;using sound walls for sound attenuation on a limited basis,primarily along Santiago
Canyon Road;incorporating traffic calming devices,where appropriate,within the project area to reduce
traffic speeds,such as neck-downs at intersections and other key locations,enhanced paving at pedestrian
cross-walks,raised pedestrian crosswalks,short or curved street segments and cul-de-sacs where
applicable, and other similar design solutions(Policy 6.10). The project will implement the appropriate
mitigation measures related to hydrology/water quality,natural hazards,hazard materials,air,noise,
traffic,biological resources, cultural resources and other environmental factors contained in the project EIR
(Policies 6.9, 6.10 and 6.11). The proposed project has been designed to locate development away from
Santiago Creek. Additionally,buried rip-rap along the south bank of Santiago Creek will protect the
habitable structures located in Planning Area's C and D. Emergency response resulting from dam
inundation flooding would be provided by both City and County of Orange emergency personnel. In
addition, an Emergency Evacuation Plan would be in place on-site for the age-qualified community.This
plan would be provided by the developer of Planning Area C. It is the policy of the City to restrict
development not to prohibit development in dam failure hazard areas. (Policy 6.9) Additionally,insurance
coverage for the peril of flood due to dam inundation exposure from a future breach in the dam located
upstream would be available far purchase by the homeowners' of Planning Area D(Policy 6.9) Please
refer to Section 5.9, Hydrology and Water Quality, Threshold HWQ-I, for additional information
related to dam failure and the proposed project's significant unavoidable impact_. Policies 6.2 and 6.12
do not apply to the project because the project site does not abut commercial or industrial uses,and is not
within the Irvine Lake area.
Coordinated Planning
Goal 7.0: Promote coordinated planning among City departments and agencies, property
owners, residents, special districts, and other jurisdictions in the region.

Specific Plan Consistency:
The project is located wholly within the City limits of Orange. Property owners and City residents,as well
as adjacent cities and responsible agencies,have the opportunity to review and comment on the project
during the CEQA and public hearing processes(Policy 7.3). Policies 7.1, 7.2,7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 do not apply
because they are City obligations but will be accomplished via the DEIR review process.
Public Participotion
Goal 8.0: Encourage active involvement of residents, businesses, and agencies in the planning
and decision making process.
Policy 8.1: Continue to provide opportunities for public education and involvement in land use planning
decisions through public hearings,community meetings, study sessions,electronic media,

Policy 1.10: Apply traffic calming measures,where appropriate,to residential neighborhoods affected by
cut-through traffic in accordance with the City's Residential Neighborhood Traffic
Management Program.
Policy 1.11: Adopt and maintain a 7-year CIP in conformance with the provisions of Measure M for the
purpose of maintaining the LOS standards established in this Element.
Policy 1.12: Promote traffic reduction strategies through the measures adopted within the City's
Transportation Demand Management(TDM)Ordinance.
Specific Plan Consistency:
The project EIR includes a Traffic Study that has analyzed the potential traffic impacts related to the
proposed development and identifies the appropriate measures to mitigate such impacts. The Traffic
Study follows the City's Traffic Impact Analysis(TIA)guidelines,including using LOS D as the
performance standard for study area intersections(Policy 1.1). The project will implement the appropriate
traffic mitigation measures contained in the EIR,and will pay the fair-share contributions, as stipulated in
the project EIR,to fund transportation improvements necessary to implement the proposed development
(Policies 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5). An integrated network of trails is planned throughout the Specific Plan area
to provide internal connectivity far pedestrian,bicycle and equestrian travel,and serves as an alternative
form of transportation(Policy 1.7).These trails also offer potential connections to existing off-site trails in
the surrounding areas. Jobs and services directly related to the age-qualified homes and recreation
support uses will be provided on-site(Policy 1.8). Bike racks will be provided in the recreational
component of the Specific Plan area to help facilitate the use of bicycles(Policy 1.9). At the time of the
Specific Plan preparation, East Santiago Canyon Road is not a designated bus route by OCTA. Should this
arterial be designated in the future as a bus route with a bus turnout proposed in the vicinity of the project
site,implementation of the Rio Santiago project will not prevent bus benches and shelters from being
installed,and provisions for these are included in the Plan(Policy 1.6). Private transportation(shuttle
service)will be available to residents of the age-qualified housing development within Rio Santiago for
local trips to area shopping centers,medical and dental offices,etc. Traffic calming devices will be
incorporated in the Specific Plan area,where appropriate,to reduce traffic speeds and increase safety for
pedestrians and bicyclists. Such traffic calming measures may include neck-downs at intersections and
other key locations,enhanced paving at pedestrian cross-walks,raised pedestrian crosswalks,short or
curved street segments and other similar design solutions(Policy 1.10). The project does not include any
commercial,industrial or mixed-use development that would employ 100 persons or more,and therefore
is not subject to the program options and facility standards contained in the City's Transportation Demand

Specific Plan Consistency:
The Rio Santiago project will pay its fair-share contributions,as stipulated in the project EIR,to fund
transportation improvements necessary to implement the proposed development. East Santiago Canyon
Road could potentially be widened in the future.The site design takes this information into consideration,
by leaving a 29'landscape setback behind a 10'easement along East Santiago Canyon Road,as shown on
the project tentative tract map(Policy 2.2). Rio Santiago includes a balanced mix of residential,recreation
and open space uses. Employment opportunities associated with these uses will provide Orange residents
with local jobs to reduce long commutes and improve the fiscal and public health of the community.While
it is unknown at this time the specific number of jobs that would be created. It is reasonable to assume that
employment in the age-qualified living community would be for management, services and amenities
directly related to age-qualified housing,while open space/recreation areas would provide further
employment opportunities within the multi-purpose community facility that may include an Autism
Center and education facility(Policy 2.3). The project provides opportunities for a mix of compatible land
uses on an infill site(Policy 2.4). Policies 2.1,2.5 and 2.6 do not apply to the project.

applicant. As a conservation measure to preserve the southern tarplant on-site,the project applicant
directed the salvage of the southern tarplant seed prior to the plants being impacted(Policy 4.4). The
Specific Plan area is located along Santiago Creek, and a portion of the site has an existing General Plan
Land Use Designation of"Resource Area(RA),"which serves as a"holding zone for areas that are
currently used for mining and agriculture,but may not have these uses in the future." The project site was
previously used for surface mining of sand,aggregates and ancillary uses,which ceased in 1995.
Appendix E, Geotechnical Investigation, of the project EIR states that although the project would result in a
loss of access to mineral resources, the majority of the project site has been mined of the economically
viable aggregated deposits. The remaining deposits that are of potential economic values are infeasible to
