5. REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS — None
6. REPORTS FROM BOARDS, COMMITTEES, AND COMMISSIONS
6.1 Consider the appointment of Phillip Bonina to the Parks Planning and
Development Commission to fill the expired term of Tom Davidson.
Discussion — Mayor Smith stated that she had agendized the appointment and reactivation of
this commission for future review of the proposed Rio Santiago project in East Orange.
Mayor pro tem Murphy stated that the Planning Commission could perform the review since
there is no park planned for the project, adding that other than this one project there probably
aren't enough projects for the commission to review.
Councilmember Whitaker stated his agreement with the Planning Commission performing the
review. He reiterated from the discussion at the last meeting that if the Park Commission were
to review the proposed Rio Santiago project, Park Commissioner Tom Davidson would need to
recuse himself due to his living within 500 feet of the project.
Mayor Smith stated that the proposed project includes open space and trails. She stated that
reactivating the commission and making this appointment would allow the City to be prepared
for when review of the project occurred, adding that another project in East Orange had been
reviewed by this commission. She also stated that it had been determined that Mr. Davidson
would have to recuse himself causing a possible 2 -2 vote on the project, and that her
nomination of Mr. Bonina was her attempt to address that scenario.

6. REPORTS FROM BOARDS, COMMITTEES, AND COMMISSIONS (Cont'd)
Councilmember Alvarez questioned making the appointment before settling the issue of
whether to reactivate the commission. He also suggested reviewing the make -up of the
commission to determine whether new members were warranted.
City Attorney Wayne Winthers pointed out that although the Park Commission has not met in
several years, it was still an active commission and a commissioner remains active until
replaced, and that any changes to this policy would have to be addressed in an ordinance.
Councilmember Bilodeau agreed that the commission needed a complete review, and asked
about the notice posted on the appointment.
The Council all noted, however, that Mr. Bonina was more than qualified to serve on this
Commission.
Mayor Smith, noting a lack of support, stated she was withdrawing the item.
NOTE: The item was withdrawn — no action was taken.
7. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
7.1. Commitment of HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds for proposed
Santa Ines Senior Villas. (C2500.G.1.9)
Discussion — Housing Manager Mary Ellen Laster provided the staff report, stating that the
onsite services are provided by OASIS, and that the economic viability analysis had been
provided to Council at this meeting. She also confirmed funding deadlines.
Councilmember Alvarez stated the City is doing its due diligence by having an objective party
look at the project funding; expressed concern for the City taking the third trust deed position
on the loan; and requested financial records from the two partners involved.
Speaker — Scott Choppin, Manager, Urban Pacific Multi - Housing LLC, stated that all project
applicants have strong financial viability.
The Council confirmed with Ms. Laster and Mr. Choppin aspects of the commitment letter, the
age of the appraisal, the value of the project, the existence of audit and bank statements, that
there are no bankruptcies or foreclosures in the companies' past, the equity in the project, and
that the County was open to possibly taking the third trust deed position.
Councilmember Whitaker stated that the project is planned for a blighted property and there
exists a need for low- income senior housing. He added that the letter from Wells Fargo Bank
indicates a strong financial standing, and that the bank would do a more rigorous review. He
stated his support of the commitment letter to allow the company to try for the tax credits, and
that he did not feel the need to request audits that can be very expensive to produce.

June 25, 2013
15.1 TRANSITIONAL AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING ORDINANCE. (Continued
from June 11, 2013.) (A2500.0 Ord -06 -13 Transitional & Supportive Housing)
Time set for a continued public hearing to consider an Ordinance amending Title 17 (Zoning)
of the Orange Municipal Code to allow for "transitional housing" and "supportive housing" in
Single - Family Residential, Duplex Residential, Multi- Family Residential, Old Towne Mixed
Use, and Public Institution zoning districts either as a "permitted" or "conditionally permitted"
use, pursuant to State law.
Discussion — Senior Planner Jennifer Le provided the staff report. She stated that the
amendment is required by state law and in answer to concerns stated at the last Council
meeting, she added that public noticing is not required because no permit is required for
transitional or supportive housing accommodating six or less persons; but seven or more
persons requires a CUP and would need to be noticed. She added that the ordinance also
allows for a lesser parking standard to be used, subject to approval by the Zoning
Administrator, and those decisions do not require a public hearing or public noticing.
THE MAYOR OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING.
Tim Paone, Home Aid OC — Thanked staff and urged approval of the Ordinance.
Martha Tillman, Haven of Love — Thanked staff and urged approval of the Ordinance.
Mark Murrel, Casa Teresa — Thanked staff and urged approval of the Ordinance.
THE MAYOR CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.
Mayor Smith stated that though residents in transitional housing do not typically have vehicles,
the staff and visitors need parking. She further stated her desire for the standards in the code to
be upheld, especially in the homes with seven or more persons.
In response to questions by the Mayor, Ms. Le stated that the requirements for parking are
taken from the parking standards in the Municipal Code and that applicants can make a request
for a different standard to the Zoning Administrator.

15. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
June 25, 2013
Councilmember Whitaker stated the parking requirement should be the same for transitional
and supportive housing as other homes in the same area with a similar use, and expressed
confidence that the Zoning Administrator could apply the rules equitably.
Councilmember Alvarez stated that at the last meeting, he voted against this amendment
because he felt there is a need to regulate the housing (particularly in single family residential
neighborhoods). He added that since then, he has read Senate Bill 2 which does not appear to
allow for regulating transitional or supportive housing of six or less persons. He stated he
would be changing his vote.
Mayor pro tern Murphy stated he was not able to support the motion unless a condition was
added to include a public hearing notice requirement for a Zoning Administrator review of an
applicant's request for a parking standards deviation.
ORDINANCE NO. 06-13 (FIRST READING)

Moved that Ordinance No. 07 -13 be read by title only and same was approved for second

Mayor Smith stated that she voted no on the item due to its proximity to the gas pipeline. She
stated her reasons why as 1) she is not in favor of getting closer to the pipeline, and 2) the goal
to expand the property lines is not being afforded to the residents on Ruth Place, thereby
making it inequitable.
