WHEREAS, Major Site Plan Review No. 288-03 was processed in the time and
manner described by State and local law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the information contained in Mitigated

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Orange conducted one duly advertised
public hearing on September 14, 2004 for the purpose of considering Major Site Plan Review
No. 288-03 upon property generally located at 802 East Chapman Avenue, 137 and 147 South
Pine Street.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ORANGE that Major Site Plan Review No. 288-03 is hereby approved for the
future development of the Immanuel Lutheran Church and School campus, located at 802 East
Chapman Avenue, 137 and 147 South Pine Street based on the following findings:
SECTION 1 —FINDINGS
1.The Specific Plan is compatible with surrounding development in that the
proposed development standards and guidelines incorporate design elements that
compliment the Spanish Revival and Mediterranean Revival themes present on
the campus. The Specific Plan also includes design standards and guidelines that
will be compatible with the surrounding residential and commercial uses.
2.The project conforms to City development standards and any applicable special
design guidelines or specific plan requirements in that Major Site Plan Review
No. 288-03 is one component of the larger development application for Zone
Change No. 1220-03, which establishes building development, signage, and
parking standards that are unique and tailored to the Immanuel Lutheran Church
and School campus in the context of the Immanuel Lutheran Church Specific
Plan.
3.The project provides far safe and adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation.
The proposed project includes a Transportation Demand Management Program
intended to reduce the amount of traffic and parking demand generated by the
Immanuel campus. Additionally, mitigation measures and conditions of
approval adopted in conjunction with project approval will address traffic
congestion and safety-related issues through the establishment of a pick-
up/drop-off program for the school, and crosswalk safety standards, and the
provision of bicycle parking.
4.City services are available and adequate to serve the project in that the City's
Public Works, Water, Fire, and Police Departments have reviewed the project.
All other departments indicated that they are able to serve the project subject to
their standard development conditions.
5.The project has been designed to fully mitigate or substantially minimize
adverse environmental effects in that Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1718-
03 was prepared and includes mitigation measures that reduce potential impacts
to air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, noise, and
transportation/traffic to less than significant levels. Adoption of the Mitigated
Negative Declaration and associated Mitigation Monitoring Program will ensure
that potential impacts are addressed.
6.The zone change from Office Professional (OP) and Duplex Residential (R2-6)
to Public Institution (Specific Plan) (PI(SP)) is intended to provide for a three
phased Specific Plan of the Immanuel Lutheran Church and School campus
through an overall floor area ration of .55. Therefore, Major Site Plan Review
No. 288-03 is bound to, and cannot proceed without, approval of Zone Change
No. 1220-03.
7.The Immanuel Lutheran Church Specific Plan text establishes the development
standards for the Public Institution (PI) land use designation for the Immanuel
Lutheran Church and School campus established by Zone Change No. 1220-03.
Upon City Council approval of the Zone Change the City's Zoning Map will be
updated to reflect this designation.
8.That there is no evidence befare the City of Orange that the proposed Specific
Plan will have any potential for adverse affects, 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.
9.That the City of Orange has made required findings pursuant to CEQA as set
forth in Section 2 below.
2
10. That 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 Mitigated
Negative Declaration No. 1718-03, Zone Change 1220-03, and Major Site Plan
Review No. 288-03, staff's oral presentation, public testimony, and Planning
Commissioner comments which constitute the City Council's review of this
application.
SECTION 2 —ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1718-03 was prepared in conjunction
with Zone Change No. 1220-03, the Immanuel Lutheran Church Specific Plan, and Major Site
Plan Review No. 288-03. After examining the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration,
the City Council finds that any potential significant adverse impacts can be mitigated to a level
of insignificance. Therefore, the City Council hereby approves Mitigated Negative Declaration
No. 1718-03.
