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
