WHEREAS, the Applicant decided not to move forward with 2005 Approved Project at
that time; and
WHEREAS, in 2014 the Applicant dedicated significant portions of the previously -
approved SHII area and the EO project area in its entirety to the County of Orange as permanent
open space; and
WHEREAS, on December 1, 2015 the Applicant filed an application with the City to
modify the 2005 Approved Project; and
WHEREAS, the proposal to modify the 2005 Approved Project focuses exclusively on
SHII and significantly reduces the development acreage and number of allowed units from a
maximum of 1,746 units on 496 acres to 1,180 units on 396 acres (hereafter, "Modified
Project "); and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has submitted applications for the following: Zone Change
No. 1281 -16 to amend the previously- approved SH Planned Community District Regulations;

impacts, or new mitigation measures when compared to the information contained in the
previously- approved EIR. If these conditions occur, a subsequent EIR or other appropriate
environmental document is required; and

circumstances or changes to the project have occurred necessitating revisions to the previously -
approved EIR, but these changes do not result in new significant impacts or the need for new
mitigation measures. An Addendum does not require formal public review, but is provided to the
decision - makers for consideration prior to their decision on the project; and
WHEREAS, the City evaluated the impacts of the Modified Project as compared to the
2005 Approved Project and found that although changes in the project have occurred, these
changes result in similar impacts or less severe impacts compared to the 2005 Approved Project;
and
WHEREAS, because the Modified Project does not cause new significant impacts or the
need for new or modified mitigation measures, the City has determined that an Addendum is
appropriate under CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the City has prepared an Addendum in conformance with the requirements
of CEQA; and
WHEREAS, an Addendum is not required to be circulated for public review, but rather

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission conducted a duly advertised public hearing on
June 6, 2016, at which time interested persons had an opportunity to testify either in support of or
opposition to the Project. The Planning Commission reviewed and considered the information

The property zoned Planned Community (PC) and generally located east of
Jamboree Road, west of SR 241/261, south of Irvine Regional Park, and north of
the Orange City limit.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ORANGE DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I:
There are no required findings for a Zone Change since it is a legislative act. However, pursuant
to OMC section 17.26.050, the following findings apply to the establishment of a Planned
Community district and are addressed here for the Modified Project.
1. That the proposal conforms to the General Plan in regard to land use designation and
intensity;
The modified Santiago Hills Planned Community District Regulations identify LDR,
LMDR, MDR and Open Space (0) as the applicable zoning districts with maximum
densities that are consistent with the General Plan land use designations. The proposed
amendments to the Planned Community standards are appropriate for the site and
accommodate lower density housing types that are compatible with the General Plan and
the existing development pattern in the area.
2. That the proposal contains at least ten gross acres;
The Modified Project proposes a maximum of 1,180 housing units, parks, trails, open
space, landscaping, street system, water quality treatment facilities, and other infrastructure
systems on 396 gross acres.
3. That the proposal provides for a mix of uses (such as, residential, commercial, office,
public facilities, open space);
The Modified Project provides for a mix of single - family detached residential and attached
townhome products, intermixed with open space, public facilities, parks and trails.
4. That by incorporating features such as, but not limited to those listed below, the proposal
constitutes an environment equal to or better than what might be accomplished under
traditional development practices:
Ordinance No. 06 -16 3
Where usable open space is provided in excess of the amount required under
conventional zoning;
Where natural features are preserved that enhance the development and will benefit
the community such as trees, scenic points, view corridors, ridgelines, historic
buildings or landmarks, unique geological formations and other community assets;
Where perimeter setbacks of the development exceed the minimum dimension required;
Where distinctive design techniques are incorporated such as architectural treatments,
site planning, structural design, landscaping as well as integration into the
community;
Where the project makes use of non - depletable energy sources for water heating or
space heating,
Where usable recreational amenities are provided in excess of the amount required;
Where special amenities are provided such as daycare, preschool, community care, or
other amenities;
Where multi -modal transportation opportunities are provided such as linkages to
pedestrian and recreational trails, and public transit facilities;
Where public institutional needs are met by providing for schools, religious facilities,
libraries, post offices, police /fire facilities; and
Where special needs housing is provided.
The Santiago Hills Planned Community clusters residential development allowing for the
preservation of onsite natural features including open space, habitat areas, trees (such as
those along the northern property line), ridgelines (such as the ridge located between the
development and Irvine Regional Park), and unique topographical features (such as the
knoll south of Santiago Canyon Road).
Substantial setbacks around the perimeter of the development along Jamboree, Santiago
Canyon Road and Irvine Regional Park are provided in excess of traditional development.
Design Guidelines are established that provide for distinctive architectural and landscape
treatments.
The amended Planned Community development standards provide for a pattern of
development that is compatible with the General Plan land use designations and the
surrounding residential uses.
A network of publicly accessible paved and unpaved pedestrian, biking, hiking and
equestrian trails are provided and connect to regional offsite trails. Two fully improved
parks are proposed.
Ordinance No. 06 -16 4
The City's Public Works, Fire and Police Departments have reviewed the project that
services are available and adequate to serve the project.
Given the high quality design, architectural treatment, significant focus on open space
features, substantial perimeter setbacks, preservation of onsite natural features and
provision of public amenities, the Modified Project constitutes an environment equal to or
better than what might be accomplished under traditional development practices.
SECTION II:
The existing zoning for the Santiago Hills II site is Planned Community (PC) and is
subject to the approved Santiago Hills Planned Community District Regulations. Amendments
to the approved Santiago Hills Planned Community District Regulations are being made in order
to change the text, figures, and exhibits applicable to the site as depicted in Exhibit "B" in
underline /strikeout format, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The Santiago
Hills Planned Community District Regulations are hereby amended as depicted in Exhibit "C ",
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION III:
The proposed zone changes described in Section II are related to the public welfare,
required by California Government Code Section 65860 and consistent with the findings and
analysis of the Addendum prepared for the Modified Project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162, for Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) 1278 /Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) No. 1716 (SCH #1988110905) for the 2005 Approved Project, certified on
November 8, 2005, and prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
CEQA).
SECTION IV:
Should any section, subsection, clause, or provision of this Ordinance for any reason be
held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the
validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this Ordinance; it being hereby expressly
declared that this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause and phrase hereof
would have been prepared, proposed, approved and ratified irrespective of the fact that any one
or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
Ordinance No. 06 -16 5
SECTION V:
A summary of this ordinance shall be published and a certified copy of the full text of this
ordinance shall be posted in the Office of the City Clerk at least 5 days prior to the City Council
meeting at which this ordinance is adopted. A summary of this ordinance shall also be published
once within 15 days after the ordinances passage in a newspaper of general circulation,
