3. NEW COMMISSION BUSINESS:
3.1 GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE FINDING FOR FY 2019-2020
through 2023-2024 FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) serves as a single
comprehensive plan of proposed capital improvement projects for the
budget year FY 2019-2020 and the four years thereafter. In accordance
with State law, the City must determine that the CIP is consistent with the
General Plan.
NOTE: Staff has reviewed the list of projects identified in the CIP and determined
that a number of projects will likely involve the need for preparation of
environmental documentation in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Appropriate CEQA documents will
be prepared after a specific project scope is defined but prior to City
Council approval of construction contracts.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Find that the projects identified within the proposed five-year Capital
Improvement Program are consistent with the City’s General Plan.
4. NEW HEARING:
4.1 HOMELESS SHELTER ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
An Ordinance amending Title 17 of the Orange Municipal Code to modify
the Special Use Regulations for Homeless Shelters related to separation
requirements and maximum bed count.
NOTE: The proposed Ordinance Amendment is categorically exempt from the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA
Guidelines Section 15305 (Class 5, Minor Alterations in Land Use
Limitations) because it involves a modification to a citywide development
standard related to the allowable distance between homeless shelters and the
maximum bed count per facility in specific zones. It does not involve a
specific site, development project, or focused geographic area, does not change
permitted land use or density and does not otherwise result in a physical
change that could cause an impact to the environment. Nothing further is
warranted or required to comply with CEQA. No public review is required for
an exemption.
