SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
AND ATTENDANCE AT PUBLIC MEETINGS
On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency in
California as a result of the threat of COVID-19. On March 17, 2020, Governor
Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20, which allows a local legislative body
to hold public meetings via teleconferencing and to make public meetings
accessible telephonically or otherwise electronically to all members of the public
seeking to observe and to address the local legislative body. Please be advised that
some, or all, of the City of Orange Design Review Committee (DRC) members
and staff will participate in meetings via teleconference.
In response to the Governor’s Executive Orders, and to ensure the health and safety
of our residents by limiting contact that could spread the COVID-19 virus, the
public is not permitted to convene in person for this public meeting.
