1. SUBJECT
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Orange amending Title 17 of the Orange
Municipal Code to streamline City review and clarify standards for certain types of residential
accessory structures, bingo games, churches in Industrial zones, and parking structure floor area
ratio.
2. SUMMARY
In October 2012,the City Council directed the Community Development Department to undertake
amendments to Title 17 of the Orange Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) with the purpose of
streamlining the review of certain types of development applications and uses in order to simplify
and make the public's interaction with the City more streamline, as well as to make more efficient
use of City staff resources. The subject Ordinance represents the third phase of Code streamlining
and addresses certain types of residential accessory structures,bingo games,churches in Industrial
zones, and parking structure floor area ratio.
3. RECOMMENDATION
(1) Find the Ordinance categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act(CEQA)per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15305.
(2) Adopt Ordinance No. 08-14 amending Title 17 of the Orange Municipal Code related to
accessory structures, bingo games, churches in Industrial zones, and parking structure floor
area ratio.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
None.

4a. Obtain, implement and evaluate public input into our services and programs.
4b. Provide facilities and services to meet customer expectations.
6. GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Land Use Element
Goa16.0: Advance development activity that is mutually beneficial to both the environment and
the community.
7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The subject Ordinance represents the third tier of development streamlining opportunities
stemming from the City's 2012 Organizational Assessment. A fourth phase of Code streamlining
amendments is presently under development to continue this effort. The proposed Ordinance
addresses the review process and clarifies City standards for certain types of residential accessory
structures, bingo games, churches in Industrial zones, and parking structure floor area ratio.
Specifically,the Ordinance:
• Provides new parameters for plumbing facilities, washing machines, and water heaters in
accessory structures.
• Provides new definitions for habitable and non-habitable accessory structures and
distinguishes them from accessory second dwelling units.
• Consolidates and clarifies standards for attached and detached accessory structures.
• Provides greater flexibility for the City to allow bingo games as an accessory use, and a
more streamlined review process far bingo games as a stand-alone use.
• Establishes a process for allowing churches in the Industrial zone based on a review of
parking conditions rather than as a conditionally permitted use.
� Codifies the City's practice of not including parking structures in the calculation of floor
area ratio.
A detailed discussion of the Code revisions is presented in Attachment 5 to this report. The
following discussion summarizes the Code changes related to each matter.
ITEM 2 2/10/15
Residential Accessory Structures
Staff receives routine inquiries from the public about a wide variety of accessory structure
scenarios including:
• Installation of utility sinks, washing machines, and water heaters in garages.
• Installation of wet bars and/or bathrooms in various types of detached accessory structures
(e.g.,recreation rooms,pool houses, exercise rooms, guest houses).
Presently, the Code allows plumbing facilities in accessory structures in a limited capacity.
Specifically,detached accessory structures with unfinished interiors may contain a utility sink,and
detached accessory structures less than 150 sq. ft. may contain a half-bath (toilet and sink).
Additional interior plumbing facilities for accessory structures not meeting either of these criteria
are allowed only with approval of a conditional use permit.
Existing Code requirements also lead to ambiguity regarding the treatment of detached habitable
accessory structures such as pool houses, recreation rooms, exercise rooms, and guest houses.
These structures generally exceed 150 sq. ft. in area. Property owners often want to incorporate
bathrooms and wet bars into these types of structures. Here again, approval of a conditional use
permit is required.
While the limitations in the present Code language serve a purpose, and are designed to preserve
onsite parking accessibility, and discourage illegal accessory structure conversions to living units,
in some instances the amenities being requested are simply functional and justifiable given the
circumstances, and the Code requirement for a conditional use permit places an unnecessary
burden on the property owner, as the requested activity presents no potential adverse effects on its
surrounding (e.g., utility sink and water heater together in an accessory structure, or a bathroom
and wet bar in a pool house).
In order to simplify the Code requirements for accessory structures, and streamline the approval
process for accessory structures with certain types of amenities, Staff has proposed the following
Code revisions:
• Establish definitions for "habitable accessory structure" and "non-habitable accessory
structure"to distinguish them from"accessory second housing unit."
• Revise the definition of "kitchen" to distinguish a full kitchen intended for typical
household use from incidental kitchen-like amenities commonly associated with an
accessory structure intended for recreational uses (i.e., wet bar, microwave, mini-
refrigerator).
• Combine the development standards for attached and detached accessory structures.
ITEM 3 2/10/15
• Allow installation of a utility sink, washing machine, water heater, or similar plumbing
facilities in a residential garage provided that the garage remains available for parking.
• Allow habitable accessory structures up to 450 sq. ft. in size to include plumbing facilities
as a permitted use on residential properties with a lot size greater than 20,000 sq. ft.
• Require approval of a conditional use permit by the Zoning Administrator for habitable
accessory structures up to 450 sq. ft. in size with plumbing facilities on residential lots
smaller than 20,000 sq. ft.
• Require approval of a conditional use permit by the Zoning Administrator for habitable
accessory structures larger than 450 sq. ft. in aggregate area, either with or without
plumbing facilities. Where such structures meet the criteria for an "accessory second
housing unit" as defined in the Code, they would be permitted, and be subject to the
provision of additional on-site parking.
These changes enable over-the-counter review and approval of a substantial portion of accessory
structure improvements that come before Planning staff. It should be noted that the proposed
Ordinance has undergone refinement since the Planning Commission hearing in September 2014
in response to Council feedback during briefings in preparation for the City Council public hearing.
Specifically: 1) the proposed Ordinance did not provide a differentiated review process for
detached habitable accessory structures up to 450 sq. ft. in area with plumbing facilities based on
lot size; 2)the proposed Ordinance did not originally include review of conditional use permits by
the Zoning Administrator.
As presented in Attachments 1 and 2, public hearings for certain habitable accessory structures
would be subject to a streamlined Zoning Administrator hearing process rather than consideration
by the Planning Commission. This process continues to provide closer scrutiny of property
changes related to accessory structures that could fundamentally alter property characteristics in a
manner that is incompatible with the prevailing neighborhood character and intent and purpose of
the underlying residential General Plan land use designation and zoning classification for the
property (e.g., creation of illegal dwelling units or a compound). Should the circumstances be
controversial, action on the conditional use permit could be appealed to the Planning Commission
and ultimately the City Council.
Parking Structures and Floor Area Ratio
As a practice, the City has not included parking structures in the calculation of floor area ratio
(FAR) for new development, in order to encourage land to be put to higher and better use, and
provide property owners and developers with greater flexibility. This exemption, however, is not
clearly presented in the Code.
Staff proposes a revision to the definition of FAR to indicate that parking structure floor area shall
not be included in the calculation of FAR.
ITEM 4 2/10/15
Bingo Games
The Code presently requires bingo games subject to approval of a conditional use permit. Often
Bingo is proposed as an accessory activity to existing church, fraternal organization, or similar
not-for-profit uses; however, in some instances,bingo is proposed as a stand-alone use.
Conditional use permits for Bingo involve a recommendation from the Planning Commission,and
ultimate approval by the City Council. City Council review typically does not result in public
input or the addition of conditions of approval beyond those recommended by the Planning
Commission.
Therefore, staff is proposing revisions to the Code that would allow bingo as an accessory to
certain uses to occur without a conditional use permit provided that the activity is conducted in
accordance with Chapter 5.95 of the Orange Municipal Code (Business Taxes and Regulations,
Bingo). The Code revisions would allow bingo as a stand-alone use through the approval of a
conditional use permit by the Planning Commission. City Council approval would no longer be
required. The proposed changes also address bingo uses in Industrial and Public Institution zones,
as bingo is not presently included in the land use tables for these zones.
Churches in Industrial Zones
The City presently requires approval of a conditional use permit for churches in Industrial zones.
This requirement is based primarily on the need to confirm that parking demand associated with a
church does not negatively impact industrial activity occurring on a shared site. The City requests
information about hours of peak activity and parking demand for proposed churches and adjacent
uses to confirm that peak demand for shared parking does not conflict. Based on this review,the
City routinely grants approval of these types of conditional use permits.
Staff is proposing revisions to the Code that allow churches in Industrial zones as a permitted use.
Where a church occupies a tenant space in a multi-tenant industrial center, approval of a parking
management plan via the Minor Site Plan Review process would be required. This change
provides relief from the Planning Commission public hearing process.
Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed Ordinance on September
15,2014. The Commission requested information about whether or not churches were allowed by
right in any one of the City's zoning districts, and if the Code change was intended to encourage
churches in industrial zones rather than other areas of the community. The Commission also asked
whether staff had any concerns about parking issues related to bingo as an accessory use. There
were no comments from members of the public on the item.
ITEM 5 2/10/15
With regard to churches as a use in the various zoning districts,a conditional use permit is presently
required in all zoning districts that accommodate churches as a use. With the Code changes, the
two industrial zones would be the only zoning districts that would not require a church to obtain a
conditional use permit. Staff believes that allowing churches by right in the industrial zones is
appropriate given the fact that these zones are found in areas of the city that are generally
developed with large buildings and sites that can accommodate gatherings of people, and are
typically separated from sensitive land uses, such as residential neighborhoods, that have greater
potential to be negatively impacted by parking,traffic,and evening activities commonly associated
with churches. The Code changes are not designed to encourage churches in industrial zones, but
rather to streamline the review process due to the minimal potential for negative effects on
surrounding land uses.
In the case of parking demand related to bingo as an accessory use, staff does not believe that
bingo would generate an inordinate amount of parking demand beyond other types of gatherings
associated with the primary use of the property (e.g., musical programs, lectures).

of efficient and expeditious review of new residential accessory structures that provide
conveniences and amenities for single-family residences, while ensuring preservation of the
distinctive quality and character of Orange's diverse neighborhood environments; and
WHEREAS,the City recognizes that Bingo games most commonly occur as an accessory
activity to churches, fraternal organizations,and similar uses as a not-for-profit fundraising tool to
support organization and community service efforts, and that the Planning Commission's public
hearing process provides an adequate forum for vetting concerns and imposing conditions for
Bingo games as stand-alone uses; and

SUMMARY
In October 2012, the City Council directed the Community Development Department to
undertake amendments to Title 17 of the Orange Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) with the
purpose of streamlining the review of certain types of development applications and uses in order
to simplify and make the public's interaction with the City more streamline, as well as to make
more efficient use of City staff resources. The subject Ordinance Amendment represents the
third phase of Code streamlining and addresses certain types of residential accessory structures,
bingo games, churches in Industrial zones, and parking structure floor area ratio.

AUTHORIZATION/GUIDELINES
Orange Municipal Code (O.M.C.) Section 17.10.020 requires City Council approval of
amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, and also establishes procedures by which the Planning
Commission reviews such amendments and makes recommendations to the City Council.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice of the proposed Ordinance Amendment was published in the Orange City News
newspaper on July 23, 2014. Because of the large geographic areas of the City affected by the
proposed Ordinance, no single property was posted. Hearing notices were also posted at City
Hall, Police, and Library posting locations.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Categorical Exemption: The draft Ordinance Amendment is exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 (Class
5, Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations). There is no public review required.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
In 2012 the City completed an Organizational Assessment that included an evaluation of the
Community Development Department's development review process and procedures. The
report concluded that opportunities exist for the City to streamline its review process to minimize
applicant waiting periods for the City approvals. As a follow up to the Organizational
Assessment, Community Development Department staff identified a series of Code requirements
and internal procedures where changes could be made to make City operations more efficient,
and offer a more user-friendly experience for the public. Based on the findings of the
Organizational Assessment, the City Council directed staff to prioritize and undertake the
identified Code amendments. The subject Ordinance Amendment addresses the third tier of
streamlining opportunities.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed Ordinance Amendment makes revisions to the Zoning Ordinance for purposes of
streamlining the review of certain types of development applications and uses in order to
simplify and make the public's interaction with the City more streamline, as well as to make
more efficient use of City staff resources. To date, two sets of Zoning Ordinance amendments
have been approved by the City Council. The subject Ordinance Amendment represents the
third phase of Code streamlining and addresses certain types of residential accessory structures,
bingo games, churches in Industrial zones, and parking structure floor area ratio. Specifically,
the Ordinance:
Planning Commission Staff Report
September 15, 2014
Page 3
• Provides new parameters for plumbing facilities, washers, and water heaters in accessory
structures.
• Provides new definitions for habitable and non-habitable accessory structures and
distinguishes them from accessory second dwelling units.
• Consolidates and clarifies standards for attached and detached accessory structures.
• Provides greater flexibility for the City to allow bingo games as an accessory use, and a
more streamlined review process for bingo games as a stand-alone use.
• Establishes a process for allowing churches in the Industrial zone based on a review of
parking conditions rather than as a conditionally permitted use.
• Codifies the City's practice of not including parking structures in the calculation of floor
area ratio.
APPLICATION(S) REQUESTED/REQUIRED FINDINGS
The City is proposing an Ordinance Amendment to zoning provisions in Title 17 of the O.M.C.
related to residential accessory structures and amenities, the review process for bingo games and
churches in Industrial zones, and the exclusion of parking structures from the calculation of floor
area ratio.
Required Findings: Although there are no required findings for an Ordinance
Amendment, since it is considered a legislative action, per O.M.C. Section 17.10.020, the
Planning Commission shall address the following in its Resolution recommending
approval of the Ordinance Amendment to the City Council:
• Reasons for the recommendation.
• The relationship of the proposed amendment to the General Plan.
• Environmental determination.
ANALYSIS/STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES
Issue 1: Residential Accessory Structures
The development standards in the Zoning Ordinance for accessory structures in Residential
districts are presented in separate sections for attached and detached structures. Staff receives
routine inquiries from the public about a wide variety of accessory structure scenarios including:
• Installation of utility sinks, washers, dryers, and water heaters in garages.
• Installation of wet bars and/or bathrooms in various types of detached accessory
structures(e.g., recreation rooms, pool houses, exercise rooms, guest houses).
Planning Commission Staff Report
September 15, 2014
Page 4
Presently, the Code allows plumbing facilities in accessory structures in a limited capacity.
Specifically, detached accessory structures with unfinished interiors may contain a utility sink,
and detached accessory structures less than 150 sq. ft. may contain a half-bath (toilet and sink).
Additional interior plumbing facilities for accessory structures not meeting either of these criteria
are allowed only with approval of a conditional use permit.
Therefore, when a property owner inquires about installing a combination of a utility sink along
with a washing machine and/or water heater in a detached garage, staff explains the conditional
use permit requirement, that often leads to an involved discussion and over-the-counter
negotiations with property owners about ways to accommodate desired amenities.
Existing Code requirements also lead to ambiguity regarding the treatment of detached habitable
accessory structures such as pool houses, recreation rooms, exercise rooms, and guest houses.
These structures generally exceed 150 sq. ft. in area. Property owners often want to incorporate
bathrooms and wet bars into these types of structures. Here again, approval of a conditional use
permit is required.
While the limitations in the present Code language serve a purpose, and are designed to preserve
onsite parking accessibility, and discourage illegal accessory structure conversions to living
units, in some instances the amenities being requested are simply functional and justifiable given
the circumstances, and the Code requirement for a conditional use permit places an unnecessary
burden on the property owner, as the requested activity presents no potential adverse effects on
its surrounding (e.g., utility sink and water heater together in an accessory structure, or a
bathroom and wet bar in a pool house).
Resolution
In order to simplify the Code requirements for accessory structures, and streamline the approval
process for accessory structures with certain types of amenities, Staff has proposed the following
Code revisions:
• Establish definitions for "habitable accessory structure" and "non-habitable accessory
structure"to distinguish them from "accessory second housing unit."
• Revise the definition of "kitchen" to distinguish a full kitchen intended for typical
household use from incidental kitchen-like amenities commonly associated with an
accessory structure intended for recreational uses (i.e., wet bar, microwave, mini-
refrigerator).
• Combine the development standards for attached and detached accessory structures.
• Allow installation of a utility sink, washing machine, dryer, water heater, or similar
plumbing facilities in a residential garage provided that the garage remains available for
parking.
Planning Commission Staff Report
September 15, 2014
Page 5
• Allow habitable accessory structures up to 450 sq. ft. in size to include plumbing
facilities.
• Require approval of a conditional use permit for habitable accessory structures larger
than 450 sq. ft. in aggregate area, either with or without plumbing facilities. Where such
structures meet the criteria for an "accessory second housing unit" as defined in the Code,
they would be permitted, and be subject to the provision of additional on-site parking.
Revisions to Sections 17.04.020, 17.04.030, 17.14.050, and 17.14.160 addressing accessory
structures and are presented in Attachment 1.
Issue 2: Parkin� Structures and Floor Area Ratio
The City's General Plan accommodates intensification of development in certain areas of the
community through the various floor area ratios associated with various land use designations.
Because of the largely built-out development conditions in Orange, future new development or
site redevelopment will occur as in-fill development. As a practice, the City has not included
parking structures in the calculation of floor area ratio (FAR) for new development, in order to
encourage land to be put to higher and better use, and provide property owners and developers
with greater flexibility. This exemption, however, is not clearly presented in the Code.
Resolution
Staff proposes a revision to the definition of FAR to indicate that parking structure floor area
shall not be included in the calculation of FAR. The revision to Section 17.04.025 is presented
in Attachment 1.
Issue 3: Bingo Games
The Code presently requires bingo games subject to approval of a conditional use permit. Often
Bingo is proposed as an accessory activity to existing church, fraternal organization, or similar
not-for-profit uses; however, in some instances, bingo is proposed as a stand-alone use.
Conditional use permits for Bingo involve a recommendation from the Planning Commission,
and ultimate approval by the City Council. City Council approval of a conditional use permit for
bingo presents a lengthy and costly review process for applicants, and typically does not result in
public input or the addition of conditions of approval beyond those recommended by the
Planning Commission.
Resolution:
In order to streamline the review process for bingo games, Staff is proposing revisions to the
Code that would allow Bingo as an accessory to certain uses to occur without a conditional use
permit provided that the activity is conducted in accordance with Chapter 5.95 of the Orange
Planning Commission Staff Report
September 15, 2014
Page 6
Municipal Code (Business Taxes and Regulations, Bingo). The Code revisions would allow
bingo as a stand-alone use through the approval of a conditional use permit by the Planning
Commission. City Council approval would no longer be required. The proposed changes also
address bingo uses in Industrial and Public Institution zones, as bingo is not presently included in
the land use tables for these zones.
The proposed changes to Sections 17.18.070, 17.18.030, 17.18.060, 17.18.070, 17.19.030,

Issue 4: Churches in Industrial Zones
The City presently requires approval of a conditional use permit for churches in Industrial zones.
This requirement is based primarily on the need to confirm that parking demand associated with
a church does not negatively impact industrial activity occurring on a shared site. The City
requests information about hours of peak activity and parking demand for proposed churches and
adjacent uses to confirm that peak demand for shared parking does not conflict. Based on this
review, the City routinely grants approval of these types of conditional use permits.
Resolution
In order to streamline the review of churches in Industrial zones, staff is proposing revisions to
the Code that allow churches as a permitted use. Where a church occupies a tenant space in a
multi-tenant industrial center, approval of a parking management plan via the Minor Site Plan
Review process would be required. This change provides relief from the costly and lengthy
Planning Commission public hearing process associated with a conditional use permit.
The proposed changes to Table 17.20.030 and Section 17.20.050 are presented in Attachment 1.
ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The proposed Ordinance was not reviewed by either the Staff Review Committee or the Design
Review Committee due to the fact that the Code amendments do not involve a specific
development project.

FLOOR AREA RATIO
WHEREAS, the City desires to put in place policies and procedures that avail the public
of efficient and expeditious review of new residential accessory structures that provide
conveniences and amenities for single-family residences, while ensuring preservation of the
distinctive quality and character of Orange's diverse neighborhood environments; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes that Bingo games most commonly occur as an
accessory activity to churches, fraternal organizations, and similar uses as a not-for-profit
fundraising tool to support organization and community service efforts, and that the Planning
Commission's public hearing process provides an adequate forum for vetting concerns and
imposing conditions for Bingo games as stand-alone uses; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to accommodate churches in Industrial zones without the
need for a public hearing, provided that they do not negatively impact parking, and create
negative conditions for conducting business consistent with the land use and economic
development objectives of the City's industrial zones; and
WHEREAS,the City recognizes that site redevelopment or intensification often involves
the need for structured parking to satisfy project parking as required by the Zoning Ordinance,
and desires to exempt the floor area of structured parking for purposes of calculating a project's
floor area ratio in order to facilitate site redevelopment at levels of intensity allowed for in the
