Upon the public hearing before the City Council, the following facts were established:
1. The applicant, Beazer Homes California, Inc., is proposing to develop a vacant
parcel of land (herein referred to as the "East Parcel") located east of Prospect Street between
Walnut Avenue and Spring Street with 131 dwelling units (the "Project"). The East Parcel is
approximately 11 acres in size. In order to develop the Project, the applicant is proposing to
reelassify the East Parcel from M-H (Mobile Home) to R-3 (
Residential, Multi-Family).2. The applicant is also proposing to realign the existing boundary
line between the M-H (Mobile Home) classification and the R-O (Recreational - Open
Space) classification on a vacant parcel ofland located west of Prospect Street between Walnut
Avenue and Spring Street herein referred to as the "West Parcel") and to reclassify the realigned land
area having the M-H Mobile Home) designation to R-3 (Residential, Multi-
Family). That portion of the West Parcel which is currently zoned M-H (Mobile Home) is
approximately 21 acres in size. That portion of th,: West Parcel which is currently zoned
R-O (Recreational - Open Space) is approximately 12 acres in size. Development of the that portion
of the West Parcel proposed for realignment and reelassification as R-3 (Residential,
Multi-Family) will require the approval of a tentative tract map, which
is not among the requests ofthe applicant at this time.3.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the applicant's requests because the proposal would allow
the orderly development ofthe East Parcel and the West Parcel in a manner compatible
with surrounding residential uses and the development would include a precise street alignment
for the eventual construction of the Walnut Avenue/Spring Street connection, which
street alignment was also approved as outlined in Planning Commission R,:
solution No. PC-53-97. The Planning Commission further recommended
approval of Tentative Tract
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Orange that
Zone Change 1191-97 be granted for the following
reasons:1. The proposed zone change is consistent with the City's General
Plan.2. The proposed zone change would allow residential development that will
be compatible with existing land uses in the vicinity of the West and East
Parcels.Adopted the 14th day of April,
1998.
