NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends
City Council adoption of Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1855-17 and associated Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program, and approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 0045-17, Major
Site Plan Review No. 0906-17, and Design Review No. 4914-17, to allow the construction of a
new�727 unit (653 apartments and 74 townhomes) multi-family residential development based on
the following findings:
SECTION 1 —ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1855-17 has been prepared for this project to evaluate the
physical environmental impacts of the project, in conformance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15070 and in
conformance with the Local CEQA Guidelines. The Planning Commission finds that the
Mitigated Negative Declaration and associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
contain an adequate assessment of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project.
The Planning Commission finds that the project will have less than significant impacts to the
environment, with the implementation of standard conditions and mitigation measures
addressing potential impacts to Transportation/Traffic, Cultural Resources, Tribal Cultural
Resources, Air Quality, Geology/Soils, and Noise included in the Mitigated Negative
Declaration.
SECTION 2—FINDINGS
General Plan
1. The project must be consistent with the goals and policies stated within the City's General
Plan.
The project achieves multiple goals of the General Plan. The project transforms and
revitalizes an underutilized commercial property with a high-density multi-family residential
development that integrates with adjacent commercial and office uses. The project provides
architecture and landscape design that emphasizes pedestrian orientation and safe and
convenient access between uses. The project also implements the objectives of the Urban
Mixed Use General Plan land use designation, by expanding the opportunities for citizens to
live, work and meet other daily needs conveniently. The project supports the goals of the
City's Housing Element by bringing forward housing that increases the inventory of housing
and diversifying the housing types available in the community. The project is also being
developed at a density level that provides associated rental rates that meet the City's
workforce housing needs. The creation of infill housing is consistent with Housing Element
Policy Action 7.
The streetscape and sidewalk improvements included in the project address the goals of the
Circulation and Mobility Element by facilitating pedestrian activity and connections between
major institutional, commercial, office, and entertainment destinations. The project also
provides dense housing in proximity to Main Street, which is a major transit corridor, bus
service, and the Santiago Creek Bike Trail, which is a Class I (off-street) bike way located to
the southeast. These factors contribute to the City's development of a multi-modal
transportation network. Finally, providing housing in proximity to employment, services,
and transit also supports the Natural Resources Element by establishing more efficient
relationships between land uses that encourage multi-modal travel and reduced dependence
on traditional auto travel and associated vehicle trips in pursuit of reduced air pollution
emissions.
Tentative Parcel Map
1. The proposed division of land complies with all requiYements of the Subdivision Map Act
and Title 16, Subdivisions, of the Orange Municipal Code, and all otheN resolutions and
ordinances of this City, including, but not limited to, requirements concerning area,
improvements and design,floodwater drainage control, appropriate impYoved public road.s,
sanitary disposal facilities, water supply availability, public safety facilities and
environmental protection.
The proposed Tentative Tract Map for Condominium Purposes complies with the
requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and Title 16, Subdivisions, of the Orange
Municipal Code and all other resolutions and ordinances of this City. The Tentative Tract
Map for Condominium Purposes proposes to subdivide the property into three parcels with
reciprocal easements linking them for purposes of shared access and open space, and to
create a single lot subdivision for Parcel 3 (Townhomes), with established common and
exclusive use areas. The reciprocal easements are for vehicular and pedestrian access
between Parcel 1, Parcel 2 and Lawson Way, a drive aisle and pedestrian walkway access
over Parcels 1, 2 and 3, paseo pedestrian access between Parcel 1 and Parcel 2,
ingress/egress, storm water mainline, utilities, waste, water quality features, emergency
access to Parcels 1, 2 and 3, landscape and irrigation, and shared maintenance
responsibilities. Site planning requirements related to area, improvements and design,
floodwater drainage control, appropriate improved public roads, sanitary disposal facilities,
water supply availability, public safety facilities and environmental protection have been
addressed either via project design components shown on the proposed plans or through
conditions of approval. Therefore, the project meets this finding.
Major Site Plan
1. The project design is compatible with surrounding development and neighborhoods.
The project area south of SR-22 along Town and Country Road is developed with new high
density multi-family residential development, mid-rise office buildings, senior housing and
commercial retail uses. The modern urban design and scale of the proposed project are
compatible with the eclectic character of the area and scale of surrounding buildings and
arterial streets. The streetscape improvements, including two plaza areas, are intended to
provide a friendly pedestrian-oriented interface with the sidewalk for existing and anticipated
patterns of pedestrian activity in the area and encourage pedestrian linkage between the
project and surrounding uses.
2. The pYoject conforms to City development standards and any applicable special design
guidelines or specific plan requirements.
The proposed development conforms to City development standards, except for parking. The
parking deficiency would be addressed through the approval of Administrative Adjustment
No. 0253-17, which would allow for a 132 space (10%) reduction in the required parking for
the apartments (Buildings A and B). The project site is not subject to any City design
guidelines or specific plans.
3. The project provides for safe and adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation, both on-
and off-site.
The property will be subdivided into three parcels, with reciprocal easements linking them
for purposes of shared access and open space. There will be a shared drive aisle located
along the south property line that will provide vehicular access to Building B, emergency
vehicle access to Parcels l, 2, and 3, and waste, utility, and other services access for all three
parcels. Also provided along this shared drive aisle is pedestrian access for Buildings A and
B. In addition, there will be shared paseo pedestrian access in the common open area
between Buildings A and B.
Vehicular access points have been designed to ensure safe circulation conditions. The project
incorporates streetscape improvements that reinforce the quality and safety of the pedestrian
experience. With adoption of Conditions of Approval and mitigation measures, the proposed
project provides for safe and adequate circulation.
4. City services are available and adequate to serve the project.
As evaluated in Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1855-17, the proposed project will result
in less than significant impacts to police, fire, recreation and or park services. The project
incorporates design features that address Code requirements and building and infrastructure
systems that maximize safety and ensure adequate utility services to the site. The applicant
will be subject to payment of impact fees associated with schools, parks, libraries, sewer, and
Sanitation District fees.
5. The project has been designed to fully mitigate or substantially minimize adverse
environmental effects.
The proposed project includes project design features that minimize potential adverse
impacts to Transportation/Traffic, Air Quality, Cultural Resources, Tribal Cultural
Resources, Geology/Soils, and Noise. Mitigation Measures are also included in the
Mitigated Negative Declaration and are incorporated into the Conditions of Approval.
Design Review Committee
1. In the Old Towne Historic District, the proposed work confo�ms to the prescriptive standards
and design criteria �eferenced and/or recommended by the DRC or other reviewing body for
the project (OMC 17.10.070.F.1).
This project site is not within the Old Towne Histaric District; therefore, this finding does not
apply.
2. In any National Register Historic District, the proposed work complies with the Secretary of�
the Interior:s standards and guidelines (OMC 17.10.07.F.2).
This project site is not within the National Register Historic District; therefore, this finding
does not apply.
3. The project design upholds community aesthetics th�ough the use of an internally consistent,
integrated design theme and is consistent with all adopted specific plans, applicable design
standards, and their reguired findings (OMC 17.10.07.F.3).
The project is neither located in a specific plan area nor an area of the City subject to design
standards. The south Main Street corridor area south of SR-22 and along Town and Country
Road, is characterized by an eclectic mix of contemporary architectural styles consisting of
mid-rise office, senior housing, multi-family residential (Meridian Apartments and
apartments located within the City of Santa Ana), and commercial retail uses. The
architecture and landscape design of the proposed project will revitalize the urban fabric by
replacing an existing, dated two-story office complex and surface parking lot with a
distinctive, larger scale, contemporary, residential development that is in scale and integrates
with surrounding development along Lawson Way, Town and Country Road, and Parker
Street. The project provides varied and articulated building elevations and streetscape
enhancements that provide an appealing pedestrian environment to encourage pedestrian
activity and linkage between the project and surrounding office, retail and residential uses.
4. For infill residential development, as specified in the City of Orange Infill Residential Design
Guidelines, the new structure(s) or addition are compatible with the scale, massing,
orientation, and articulation of the surrounding development and will preserve or enhance
existing neighborhood character (OMC 17.10.07.F.�).
This project is not an infill residential development subject to the City's Infill Residential
Design Guidelines; therefore, this finding does not apply.

21083.2 and State CEQA Guidelines 15126.4. The City shall be consulted on the
treatment of the deposits. The applicant shall follow all recommendations made by the
paleontologist. The deposits shall not be disturbed or removed until the appropriate
treatment has be recommended by the paleontologist and approved by the City. No
construction activity in the vicinity of the find may resume until the recommendations
for treatment of the deposits have been implemented.
The final report containing site forms, site significance, and mitigation measures shall be
submitted immediately to the Community Development Department. The final written report
shall be submitted to the appropriate regional paleontological Information Center within
three months after work has been completed (Mitigation Measure 5-2).
155.In the event that human remains are discovered during excavation activities, construction
shall stop and the Orange County Coroner shall be contacted immediately. The Project shall
comply with the requirements contained in PRC 5097.98, which include the following
(Mitigation Measure 5-3):
a. Stop immediately and contact the County Coroner.
b. The coroner has two working days to examine human remains after being notified by the
responsible person. If the remains are Native American, the coroner has 24 hours to
notify the Native American Heritage Commission.
c. The Native American Heritage Commission will immediately notify the person it
believes to be the most likely descendant of the deceased Native American.
d. The most likely descendant has 48 hours to make recommendations to the owner, or
representative, for the treatment or disposition, with proper dignity, of the human
remains and grave gods.
e. If the descendant does not make recommendations within 48 hours, the owner shall
reinter the remains in an area of the property secure from further disturbance.
f. If the owner does not accept the descendant's recommendations, the owner or the
descendant may request mediation by the Native American Heritage Commission.
156.The Project shall implement Best Management Practices to assure erosion protection during
construction in compliance with NPDES requirements (Mitigation Measure 6-1).
157.The Project shall comply with the recommendations provided on pages 11 through 15 of the
Geotechnical Recommendations dated July 5, 2016 (incorporated by reference and included
as Appendix B to this IS/MND) (Mitigation Measure 6-2)
158.All diesel-powered construction vehicles shall be equipped with exhaust mufflers or other
suitable noise reduction devices capable of achieving a sound reduction of at least 3 dBA.
(Mitigation Measure 12-1)
159.Temporary sound barriers capable of achieving a sound attenuation of at least 15 dBA shall
be erected along the Project's southern and eastern boundaries to obstruct the line-of-sight
travel of noise from the Project Site to Celebration Church, Town and Country Manor, and
Santiago Park. (Mitigation Measure 12-2)
160.Roadway Segment H (Parker Street between La Veta Avenue and Town and Country Road):
Restripe Parker Street to provide a second northbound through lane and a second
southbound through lane. This improvement requires the elimination of on-street parking
and implementation will require approval of the City of Orange. The Project's fair share
contribution towards the roadway segment of Parker Street between La Veta Avenue and
Town and Country Road totals 25.7%. (Mitigation Measure 16-1)
161.Main Street at Santa Clara Avenue/I-5 Freeway: Restripe Santa Clara Avenue to convert the
eastbound shared left/through lane to an exclusive eastbound through lane. This
improvement will require the approval of the City of Santa Ana and/or Caltrans. The
Project's fair share contribution towards the intersection of Main Street at Santa Clara
Avenue/I-5 Freeway totals 4.4%. (Mitigation Measure 16-2)
162.A Qualified Archaeologist [selected by the Project Applicant and meeting the Secretary of
Interior's Professional Qualifications for Archaeology as defined at 36 CFR Part 61,
Appendix A (Professional Archaeologist)] and Native American monitor from a Tribe who
is ancestrally related to the Project area (i.e. Native American Monitors of Gabrieleno
Ancestry) shall be retained to be on site to monitor all Project-related, ground-disturbing
construction activities (e.g., pavement removal, auguring, boring, grading, excavation,
potholing, trenching, grubbing, and weed abatement) and during all soil movement of
previously undisturbed soils. (Mitigation Measure 17-1)
163.All archaeological resources unearthed by Project construction activities shall be evaluated
by the Qualified Archaeologist and Native Monitar. If the resources are Native American in
origin, the Tribe shall coordinate with the landowner and the City regarding treatment and
curation of these resources. Typically, the Tribe will request reburial or preservation for
educational purposes. If a resource is determined by the Qualified Archaeologist to
constitute a "historical resource" pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(a) or a
"unique archaeological resource" pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.2(g), the
Qualified Archaeologist shall coordinate with the applicant, the Tribe, and the City to
develop a formal treatment plan that would serve to reduce impacts to the resources. The
treatment plan established for the resources shall be in accordance with CEQA Guidelines
Section 15064.5(� for historical resources and Public Resources Code Sections 21083.2(b)
for unique archaeological resources. Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred
manner of treatment. If preservation in place is not feasible, treatment may include
implementation of archaeological data recovery excavations to remove the resource along
with subsequent laboratory processing and analysis. Any historic archaeological material
that is not Native American in origin shall be curated at a public, non-profit institution with a
research interest in the materials. if such an institution agrees to accept the material. If no
institution accepts the archaeological material, they shall be donated to a local school or
historical society in the area for educational purposes. The applicant shall be responsible for
all fees related to curation/donation. The applicant shall follow the recommendations of the
Qualified Archaeologist and the Tribe, in consultation with the City. (Mitigation Measure
17-2)
164.Prior to the start of ground disturbing activities, the land owner shall designate a feasible site
location within the footprint of the Project for the respectful reburial of the human remains
and/or ceremonial objects. Any discoveries of human skeletal material shall be immediately
reported to the County Coroner. The Qualified Archaeologist and Native American monitar
will immediately divert work at a minimum of 50 feet and place an exclusion zone around
the burial. The monitor will then notify the construction manager who will call the coroner
and the City. Work will continue to be diverted while the coroner determines whether the
remains are Native American. The discovery is to be kept confidential and secure to prevent
any further disturbance. If Native American, the coroner will notify the NAHC as mandated
by state law who will then appoint a Most Likely Descendent.
In the case where discovered human remains cannot be fully documented and recovered on
the same day, the remains will be covered with muslin cloth and a steel plate that can be
moved by heavy equipment placed over the excavation opening to protect the remains. If this
type of steel plate is not available, a 24-hour guard should be posted outside of working
hours. The Tribe will make every effort to recommend diverting the Project and keeping the
remains in situ and protected. If the Project cannot be diverted, it may be determined that
burials will be removed. The Tribe will work closely with the Qualified Archaeologist to
ensure that the excavation is treated carefully, ethically and respectfully. If data recovery is
approved by the Tribe, documentation shall be taken which includes, at a minimum, detailed
descriptive notes and sketches. Additional types of documentation shall be approved by the
Tribe for data recovery purposes. Cremations will either be removed in bulk ar by means as
necessary to ensure completely recovery of all material. If the discovery of human remains
includes 4 or more burials, the location is considered a cemetery and a separate treatment
plan shall be created. The Project applicant shall consult with the Tribe regarding avoidance
of all cemetery sites. Once complete, a final report of all activities is to be submitted to the
NAHC and the City, and the report shall remain confidential. The Tribe does NOT authorize
any scientific study or the utilization of any invasive diagnostics on human remains.
If the coroner determines the remains represent a historic non-Native American burial, the
burial shall be treated in the same manner of respect with agreement of the coroner. Reburial
will be in an appropriate setting. If the coroner determines the remains to be modern, the
coroner will take custody of the remains.
Each occurrence of human remains and associated funerary objects will be stored using
opaque cloth bags. All human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects and objects of
cultural patrimony will be removed to a secure container on site if possible. These items
should be retained and reburied within six months of recovery. The site of
reburial/repatriation shall be on the Project Site but at a location mitigated between the Tribe
and the landowner at a site to be protected in perpetuity. There shall be no publicity
regarding any cultural materials recovered. (Mitigation Measure 17-3)
165.Archaeological and Native American monitoring and excavation during construction
projects will be consistent with current professional standards. All feasible care to avoid any
unnecessary disturbance, physical modification, or separation of human remains and
associated funerary objects shall be taken. Principal personnel must meet the Secretary of
Interior standards for archaeology and have a minimum of 10 years of experience as a
principal investigator in southern California. The Qualified Archaeologist shall ensure that
all other personnel are appropriately trained and qualified. (Mitigation Measure 14-4)

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends
City Council approval of Administrative Adjustment No. 0253-17 when in conjunction with
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1855-17 and associated Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program, Tentative Tract Map No. 0045-17, Major Site Plan Review No. 0906-17,
and Design Review No. 4914-17, to allow for a reduction of 132 parking spaces for the
construction of a new 727 unit (653 apartments and 74 townhomes) multi-family residential
development upon property based on the following findings:
SECTION 1 —ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1855-17 has been prepared for this project to evaluate the
physical environmental impacts of the project, in conformance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15070 and in
conformance with the Local CEQA Guidelines. The Planning Commission finds that the
Mitigated Negative Declaration and associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
contain an adequate assessment of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project.
The Planning Commission finds that the project will have less than significant impacts to the
environment, with the implementation of standard conditions and mitigation measures included
in the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
SECTION 2 —FINDINGS
1. The reduction in standards will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general
welfare of persons residing or working on the subject property or in the vicinity.
The 10% reduction in required parking for Apartment Buildings A and B represents 132
paxking spaces; 1,181 parking spaces will continue to be provided for the 653-unit
complexes and related guest parking. Of the 653 units, 38 are studios, 355 are 1-bedroom,
230 are 2-bedroom, and 30 are 3-bedroom. The unit sizes and leasing practices of the
applicant will function to control the occupancy and assignment of parking spaces for the
project. The associated parking per unit ratios reflect similar parking ratios utilized for
other similar-density apartment complexes in the western portion of the City that have
proven to adequately serve the residents of those complexes. Those past projects are
located on sites that share similar characteristics with the proposed project site, such as: on-
site structured or podium parking; lack of on-street parking due to the prohibition of
parking related to the Major Arterial roadways, and the inconvenient distance that separates
apartment complex entry points from the parking lots surrounding commercial
development that discourages the use of these lots for residential overflow parking.
Given the development context, unit size, demographic characteristics of the residents, and
product type associated with the proposed project, parking needs are expected to be similar
to previous projects. A recent parking utilization survey of two similar projects in the area
demonstrates that providing the minor relief offered by the City's Administrative
Adjustment Code is functional and reasonable.
The proposed project is also located in an area that is well-served by public transit and
alternative transportation options. OCTA Bus Route 453 (Orange Transportation Center-St.
Joseph's Hospital) is located at the corner of Lawson Way and Town and Country Road.
Routes 53 (Brea-Irvine) and 7�7 (Diamond Bar-Santa Ana Eapress) are located at the
corner of Main Street and Town and Country Road. In addition, the Santiago Creek Bike
Trail, a regional commuter bikeway, is located .02 miles east of the project site.
2. Issirance of the permit does not conzprornise the intent of this code.
Granting of the Administrative Adjustments does not compromise the intent of the Code
because the requested reductions continue to accommodate a functional and efficient site
plan and on-site circulation in conjunction with an urban infill housin� product that is
intended by the Urban Mixed Use zoning.
SECTION 3—CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the following conditions are imposed with approval:
General:
1. Approval of Administrative Adjustment No. 0253-17 is subject to City Council approval of
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1855-17 and associated Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program, Tentative Tract Map No. 0045-17, Major Site Plan Review No. 0906-17,
and Design Review No. 4914-17.
2. Applicant shall comply with all conditions of approval included in Planning Commission
Resolution No. PC 11-18.
3. Applicant shall design and engineer the upper levels of the parking structures for Buildings A
and B to support the loads of inechanical parking lifts and 132 vehicles, prior to building
permit issuance for Parcels 1 and 2.
4. Applicant shall return to the Plaiming Commission with a Parking Management Plan that
addresses the possibility of tandem parking, the use of inechanical parking lifts, valet service
or other methods deemed appropriate to accommodate parking demand on the site for
Buildings A and B prior to building pernlit issuance of Parcels 1 and 2.

Commission of the City of Orange by the following vote:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends
City Council denial of Administrative Adjustment No. 0253-17 when in conjunction with
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1855-17 and associated Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program, Tentative Tract Map No. 0045-17, Major Site Plan Review No. 0906-17,
and Design Review No. 4914-17, to allow for a reduction of 132 parking spaces for the
construction of a new 727 unit (653 apartments and 74 townhomes) multi-family residential
development upon property based on the following findings:
SECTION 1 —ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1855-17 has been prepared for this project to evaluate the
physical environmental impacts of the project, in conformance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15070 and in
conformance with the Local CEQA Guidelines. The Planning Commission finds that the
Mitigated Negative Declaration and associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
contain an adequate assessment of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project.
The Planning Commission finds that the project will have less than significant impacts to the
environment, with the implementation of standard conditions and mitigation measures included
in the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
SECTION 2—FINDINGS
1. The reduction in standards will be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general
welfare of persons residing or working on the subject property or in the vicinity.
The applicant is requesting a 132-space reduction in parking for the project, specifically for
the apartments (Buildings A and B), because the townhomes comply with the code required
183 parking spaces. This represents a 9% reduction in the Code required parking for the
overall project (Buildings A, B and the townhomes) and a 10°Io reduction for only
Buildings A and B. While the Code requires 1,313 spaces (2.1 spaces/unit) for Buildings A
and B, only 1,181 spaces (1.8 spaces/unit) are provided.
Recent census data indicates that the majoriry of households in the City of Orange are two-
car households at (41%), with one car households at 27%, three car households at 18%,
four car households at 10% and zero car households at 4°Io. Further, census data shows that
the vast majority of Orange residents at 81% drive alone to work, with carpool, bike, walk,
public transportation and working from home making up the remainder. This data indicates
that although transportation trends may be changing based on demographics, new
technologies, and greater opportunities for car sharing and transit, car ownership rates are
still high and single occupancy auto travel is still the primary mode of transportation in
Orange and other cities in Orange County. In addition, the applicants Workforce Housing
Report indicates that there is a high likelihood, given the typical rental rates, that the
project apartments will be rented to households containing two or inore wag� earners.
The above census data and workforce housing information demonstrates that although the
project is located in an area that is well serviced by public transit and alternate
transportation options, there is a high likelihood that each apartment unit will be occupied
by at least two residents, each with one vehicle. This assumption is consistent with the
City's Code required parking ratio of 2.1 spaces/unit.
As a result of the proposed parking deficiency, apartment unit residents will most likely
seek alternate uncontrolled surface parking on surrounding residential and commercial
properties, which will in turn affect and reduce the available parking for existing residents,
tenants and business owners in the area.
This finding cannot be made.
2. Issuance of the permit compromises the intent of this code.
The Granting of this Administrative Adjustment compromises the intent of the Code
because the requested reduction in parking does not meet the development standards of the
Urban Mixed Use (UMU) zoning district. The intent of the UMU zone is to allow office,
retail, and residential uses to operate together in a complimentary way, while minimizing
parking impacts of proposed projects. The parking shortfall places nearby office, retail,
and senior care facility parking areas at risk for being used as overflow parking for the
apartments, potentially impacting parking availability at these sites.
This finding cannot be made.
SECTION 3—ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1855-17 has been prepared for this project to evaluate the
physical environmental impacts of the project, in conformance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15070 and in
conformance with the Local CEQA Guidelines. The Planning Commission finds that the
Mitigated Negative Declaration and associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
contain an adequate assessment of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project.
The Planning Commission finds that the project will have less than significant impacts to the
environment, with the implementation of standard conditions and mitigation measures included
in the Mitigated Negative Declaration.

Commission of the City of Orange by the following vote:

Review No.0906-17,Design Review No.4914-17,and Administrative Adjustment No.0253-17,for
a new 727 unit development(653 apartments and 74 townhomes) at 702-1078 West Town and
Country Road.
A proposal to redevelop an existing office complex with a 727-unit apartment and townhome
development(653 apartments and 74 townhomes). The property will be subdivided into three
parcels with reciprocal easements linking them for purposes of shared access and open space:
Parcel 1 (Building A)and Parcel2(Building B)would each include apartment units configured
around multi-level parking structures with the following amenities: fitness centers,club rooms,
pool and lounge courtyards, and amenity decks located on the top floor of each parking
structure. Parcel3 (Townhomes)will include 74 townhomes with attached two-car garages and
surface level parking. Townhome amenities will include a pool and lounge courtyard and
passive open courtyards. The applicant is also requesting an Administrative Adjustment for a
132-space reduction in the required parking.
LOCATION: 702-1078 West Town and Country Road
NOTE:
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1855-17 was prepared to evaluate the physical
environmental impacts of the project, in conformance with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15070 and in
conformance with the Local CEQA Guidelines. Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1855-17
finds that the project will have less than significant impacts to the environment, with the
implementation of standard conditions and mitigation measures.
The 20-day public review period began on March 21, 2018 and ended on April 10, 2018. On
March 21,2018,the City sent a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration to a
total of 556 property owners and tenants within a 300 foot radius of the project site, adjacent
cities, and other potentially affected public agencies and utility service providers initiating the
public review period for the environmental document as described above. This notification was
also published in the Orange City News on March 21,2018,was on file with the Orange County
Clerk Recorder, and was posted in four locations at the site. Copies of the document were
available for public review at the Orange Public Library & Local History Center, the Taft
Branch Library, at City Hall, and on the City's website.

Commissioners Simpson, Glasgow, Willits and Correa all disclosed that they met with the
applicant.
Commissioner Gladson disclosed that she also met with the applicant and that as a
candidate for the City Council, she has a relationship with one member of the team who
made a donation to her campaign under the legal limit. She will not render any decision
rendered based on the meeting or the contribution.
Commissioner Correa asked the City Attorney if Commissioner Gladson needs to recuse
herself from this item.
Gary Sheatz, Senior Assistant City Attorney, responded that the responsibility rested with
Commission Gladson regarding her ability to vote on this item without any influence.

Planning Commission May 21, 2018 I
Monique Schwartz, Associate Planner,provided an overview of the item consistent with the
staff report. She noted that staff received a letter from the applicant that morning requesting
changes to approximately 20 conditions of approval for the project. Staff discussed the
proposed changes with respective City departments and had included suggested red lined
revisions in the conditions in the Commission's Hot File. In addition,wherever application
number TTM 0047— 17 is referenced in the staff report,resolutions or her presentation, it
was important to note that the applicant had filed Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 18113
for condominium purposes for the project.
Commissioner Gladson asked if the staff had any recommendations on potential options
or backup options if additional parking is needed in the future because the project does not
comply with the parking standards.
Ms. Schwartz, Associate Planner responded that since the preliminary review of the project,
the revised parking standards had been adopted and the applicant had an opportunity to use
tandem parking or parking lifts. Off-site shared parking agreements were also another
option, although they may not be practical for the applicant. There is no on-street parking
on Town and Country Road and all the adjacent uses are commercial.
Commissioner Willits asked if the applicant submitted their project under the old parking
regulations and if it was common practice to look at the three separate parcels as one whole
project.
Ms. Schwartz stated that staff was honoring the prior Code regulations based on the date
the application was submitted. She had reviewed the project as a whole; however the
townhome portion was completely parked per the Code standards;parcels A and B were
both deficiently parked. She was looking the townhomes as a separate part of the project.
Commissioner Willits asked if any of the units were contributing to their goals for the
workforce housing.
Anna Pehoushek,Assistant Community Development Director, stated there is a provision
in the Code that requires staff to discuss potential affordable units with the applicant; the
applicants were also asked to prepare a workforce housing study in order to demonstrate
the project can serve area employees. The Regional Housing Needs Assessment
allocation breaks down the number of housing units that the City is expected to create in
different income categories and the proposed units do not hit the levels for the low- and
very low-income population.
Chair Glasgow invited the applicant to approach.
Ed McCoy with Fairfield Residential approached and provided an overview of Fairfield
Residential.
Tobin Syminank with Architects Orange provided a visual presentation consisting of
vehicular circulation.
10
Planning Commission May 21, 2018 �
Chris Hernandez with Dahlin Architecture and Planning, was responsible for the
townhome portion of the site. He provided a visual presentation of the landscaping,
elevations, architectural style and features, as well as color and material pallets.
Mr. McCoy returned to the podium. He stated that Fairfield's intent was to plan the
entire 12 acre parcel,but individualize each parcel to standalone. They were asking for a
parking adjustment for parcels 1 and 2 because there is a possibility that these properties
could be owned by different owners in the future.
He explained that the apartment industry determines parking assessments on a per
bedroom basis. This property is parked at 1.25 spaces per bedroom which is a 1/4 space
above the normal on a project of similar nature in other cities. This site has rideshare
accommodations,bicycle storage throughout the development and tele-commuting
facilities which reduce the dependency on motor vehicles.
He stated the shared parking condition imposed on them is unattainable and infeasible.
Shared parking cannot occur between two separate facilities because that would give
rights to one property to go on another property and use it. This situation makes it un-
financeable as Fairfield will not be to find a bank or lender that will allow people from
one property to go over and park on another.
Mr. McCoy requested that Condition#2 in the Resolution of Approval 12-18 be modified
to state something to the effect that if a parking issue arises,the owners can meet with
City staff and attorneys to discuss options such as lifts,tandem parking or restriping for
compacts to provide additional parking.
Larry Scott with Fairfield explained the key to solving parking is management of the
project so that there is controlled access with assigned resident spaces. The concept of
shared parking with two separate garages that serve two legally separately owned parcels
is flawed and can't work. It would create a mismanagement between the two parking
structures that could end up being standalone communities in the future.
Ms. Schwartz clarified that the applicant's references to each of the parcels being stand-
alone is something new, and up to this point in the project review process they were,
indeed,not. She explained that the project as a whole only works when taken as a whole
in terms of density and parking. When the project components are taken individually,
parcels 1 and 2 do not stand alone. Parcel3,which is the townhome product, does stand
alone and meets the parking standards. Parcels 1 and 2 for Buildings A and B are both
deficient in parking and exceed the maximum density permitted in the zoning district.
When the three parcels are averaged together, the project works as a whole, but the
individual parcels do not stand alone except for parcel 3. With the applicant requesting
approval of a reduction of 132 spaces, staff had to ensure that parcels A and B,which are
both deficient in parking, have adequate parking together. For a binding mechanism,
staff included a condition of approval requiring shared access for parking of guest spaces
and resident spaces as a way to ensure that both buildings would be adequately parked.
ll
Planning Commission May 21, 2018 �
Chair Glasgow asked for confirmation that the applicant had to borrow density from parcel
3 to build parcels 1 and 2. Ms. Schwartz stated that was correct and there was also a
condition of approval requiring a recorded covenant for parcel B limiting the development
of units on parcel3 to make the overall density comply with the General Plan and for staff
to be able to make the General Plan conformance finding.
She reiterated that there was a deficiency of 59 parking spaces on parcel A and 73 spaces
on parcel B for a total of 132 combined.
Commissioner Gladson asked the architect to discuss the project's open space plan and
pedestrian linkages between all of the pieces and the Santiago Creek Trail.
Dane Delle with the applicant's consultant MJS provided an explanation of the site's
connectivity and path of travel.
Commissioner Gladson stated she would like to see a pedestrian gate through a walkway
via the townhome parcel to access the nearby Santiago Creek Trail and thought this was a
missed opportunity given its proximity to the project site. She expressed concern that
project residents would be inclined to jaywalk at mid-block locations to access the trail.
She also asked if the applicant considered providing more one-bedroom units in the unit
mix to reduce the amount of required parking.
Mr. Delle stated it would become a property management issue if they did add an access
gate. He also stated that a change in the unit mix could become a leasing issue. He
explained the way in which parking would be assigned, and that Fairfield had actually
engaged a third-party parking company that manages many other apartment communities.
The Commissioners, applicant and staff discussed the various options such as lifts, valet
parking, tandem and restriping.
William Crouch, Community Development Director reminded the Commission that
adding lifts on the top floor could be a problem due to the current design for single
parking. The top-level would need to have the appropriate load bearing design for the
extra weight of tandem or stacked vehicles.
Commissioner Correa requested information about the red cladding material on the
apartment fa�ade. He inquired about the durability and fade resistance of the material.
Mr. Symmank stated the material has a 15 year manufacturer's warranty.
Commissioner Correa also stated he would like the applicant to entertain one to two
apartments for low income.
Chair Glasgow opened the public hearing.
Dirk DeWolfe, CEO of Town and Country Manor, a senior living and care facility, stated
he was very concerned about the proposed parking deficiency and would be the most
12
Planning Commission May 21, 2018 �
affected by this project. He had already been impacted by the illegal parking from other
residential projects in the area. As a care provider, they needed to have complete access to
their property
There were no other speakers therefore Chair Glasgow close the public hearing.
Commissioner Correa stated he visited two similar facilities with the applicant to evaluate
parking. One facility was able to adequately accommodate the parking needs; however
the second facility seemed to have poor management of parking rather than a lack of it.
Commissioner Gladson stated this was a good project,however the Commission is the
City Council's expert on land use,planning and parking and the Council would want the
Commission's recommendation. She felt that the Commission was fundamentally
wrestling with arriving at a balanced approach to parking and this project needed a tool to
address a "just in case" situation should parking prove to be inadquate.
She proposed that staff draft a condition that asks the applicant to come up with a parking
management plan with a continual review process every year to monitor the situation.
Commissioner Simpson also agreed it was a good project and the applicant's very good
national experience gave him confidence. He agreed with Commissioner Gladson, and
was extremely concerned about Town and Country Manor and wanted the applicant to
maintain open communication with them.
Commissioner Willits agreed with his co-Commissioners that a mechanism was needed
to evaluate how well they were doing with the project's parking. He was also concerned
about Town and Country Manor and wanted to see dialogue between the two parties.
Commissioner Correa agreed with his fellow Commissioners and felt that the applicant
understood the parking concerns.
Chair Glasgow liked the project,but was concerned with the parking and would like to
see a parking management plan as part of the resolution. He would like the applicant to
look at the loads on the top deck of the parking structure now in order to be prepared in
the event that they needed to install parking lifts. He also reiterated that they keep the
dialogue open with Town and Country Manor.
Gary Sheatz, Senior Assistant City Attorney encouraged the Commission to be specific
with what they wanted to see in the parking management plan so that it was clear for the
applicant.
The Commission provided guidance and recommendations to the applicant and staff for
what their expectations were including accommodations for assigned parking, tandem
parking and parking lifts.
Mr. McCoy stated he thought it was premature to draft a management plan at this time
because they don't know what the problems may be the future; he would rather see a
13
Planning Commission May 21, 2018 �
condition of approval that states the applicant shall return with a parking management
plan within 30 days if the parking is inadequate. Another option would be to allow
Fairfield to come back to the City with a parking management plan prior to issuance of
the first building permit. This way they could move forward with the project construction
documents.
A motion was made to continue the item to the next appropriate date in order to allow
the applicant and City staff to review Commission's discussion and concerns and try to
identify solutions and return to the Planning Commission with a preliminary parking
management plan.
