Phone: (714) 744-7231
HEARING LOCATION: City of Orange City Hall, Weimer Room, 300 East Chapman Avenue, Orange CA 92866
PUBLIC HEARING: To be determined, separate noticing will be given for public hearings.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project involves the demolition of an existing 8,579 square-foot structure and
the construction of a one-story, 4,563 square-foot Chick-fil-A restaurant building with a double drive-thru lane and
associated surface parking, landscaping, and utilities at 202 South Main Street. The project would be subject to various City
permits and approvals, including, but not limited to: General Plan Amendment GPA 2018-0002; Zone Change ZC No.
1287-18; Environmental Review ENV No. 1858-18; Conditional Use Permit No. 3044-17; Design Review No. 4909-17;
Minor Site Plan Review No. 0904-17; and Tree Removal Permit. The project would also require administrative approvals
from the City for issuance of grading, building, and occupancy permits as well as connection permits from utility providers.
Additionally, the project would require Orange County Transportation Authority approval to relocate an existing bus stop
along South Main Street approximately 100 feet to the south. It is noted that the project site is not listed pursuant to
Government Resources Code Section 65962.5.
SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: The City has determined that the proposed project
would require a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). The MND was completed in accordance with the Lead Agency’s
Guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act. The MND is based on the finding that, by implementing
the identified mitigation measures, the project’s potentially significant environmental effects will be reduced to levels that
are less than significant. The reasons to support such a finding are documented by the IS/MND prepared by the City.
AVAILABILITY:
Copies of the Initial Study, the proposed MND, and supporting materials are available for public review at the following
locations (and online at https://www.cityoforange.org/292/Project-NoticesRelated-Environmental-Doc)
