Point of
Beginning.NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby approves
and adopts Addendum No. 1779-06 and General Plan Amendment No. 2006-0003
to change the General Plan land use designation from Medium Density Residential (City
of Anaheim) to Low-Medium Density Residential (LMDR - 6-15 dwelling units per acre)
in the City of Orange, in association with and related to Ordinance No. 2-07
to pre-zone the property as Multi-Family Residential (R-3), from
the existing Transitional Zone (6-36 dwelling units per acre) in the City of Anaheim
to allow for the annexation of332-square feet ofland (de-
annexed from the City
of Anaheim), based on the following findings:SECTION 1 - FINDINGS I. The project will
resolve a
boundary line discrepancy between the cities of Anaheim and Orange.2. The project
facilitates the development of a housing project that furthers the affordable housing goals of the
City of Orange by providing 50% (
nine) of the units as affordable to moderate income households.3. The land uses
changes support the implementation of the City's 2001 Housing Element which indicates
the City will continue to encourage and assist in the
provision
4. The proposed General Plan Land Use designation of Low Medium Residential (0-
16 dwelling units per acre) and related Pre-Zoning ofR-3 is consistent with
the land uses for the adjacent Manchester
Walk project.5. The proposed General Plan Land Use designation and related
Pre-Zoning is compatible, yet less dense than the existing General Plan Land
Use designation (in the City of Anaheim) of Medium Density Residential
and Transitional zoning designation (6-36
dwelling units per acre.)6. The play area/open space use of the 332 square feet of land
will not change from what was originally approved for
the Manchester Walk project.7. The City's Public Works, Fire, and Police Departments
have reviewed the project and indicated that City services are available and adequate
to serve the project.8. The project will not have a significant adverse impact on
traffic volumes and road capacities, school
enrollment, or recreational resources.9. There is no evidence before the City Council of the City
of Orange that the proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2006-
0003 and related Pre-Zone Change No. 1241-06, will have any
potential for adverse effects, either individually or cumulatively, on wildlife resources or
the habitat upon which the wildlife depends.Therefore, the proposed development is found to
have a de minimis impact
in its effect on fish and wildlife.10. The City Council of the City of
Orange has made required findings pursuant to CEQA
as set forth in Section 2 below.II. The proposed General Plan
Amendment and related Pre-Zoning does not involve the reduction of residential density for any
parcel to a lower density that is below the density that was
utilized by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in determining
that the City's
Housing Element complies with Housing Element law because:a) The City utilized the proposed density
for purposes of
housing plans in the City of Orange, and b) The City of
Anaheim zoning designation was not
a consideration for determining housing units or affordability.The data and analysis upon which
these findings of fact are based, including those in Section 2 of this Resolution, are set
forth in the staff report for Addendum No.1779-06
to Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1736-04, General Plan Amendment No. 2006-0003,
and associated with and related to Ordinance No. 2-07
for Pre-Zone Change No. 1241-06, staffs oral presentation, public testimony,
the Planning Commission record
and
SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW 1.
Addendum No. 1779-06 to Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1736-04
was prepared for General Plan Amendment No. 2006-0003 and associated
with and related to Ordinance No. 2-07 for Pre-Zone Change
No. 1241-06, in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act and associated Guidelines.2. The City Council finds that the Addendum
to Mitigated Negative Declaration No.1736-04 contains an adequate assessment
of the potential environmental impacts of General Plan Amendment No. 2006-
0003 and related Pre-Zone Change No. 1241-06. The City
Council finds that all potentially significant adverse environmental impacts can be mitigated to
a level of insignificance. Therefore, the City Council hereby approves
and adopts Addendum
No. 1779-06 to Mitigated Negative Declaration
No.
