NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
REVISION TO TITLE 17 OF THE ORANGE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING
TO PARKING CODE UPDATES AND
RELATED ADMINISTRATIVE REVISIONS
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Orange will hold a Public Hearing,
Tuesday, August 10, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, at the City of
Orange Council Chamber, 300 East Chapman Avenue, Orange, California, to consider the following
request:
SUBJECT: PARKING CODE UPDATE AND RELATED ADMINISTRATIVE REVISIONS
PROPERTY LOCATION: Citywide
REQUEST: City Planning Division staff has prepared a comprehensive update of parking rates and
standards for nonresidential uses.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: At its July 19, 2021 meeting, the Planning Commission
unanimously voted (4-0) to recommend approval of the Ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION: The proposed Ordinance is exempt from the provisions of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (1) per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2)
and 15060(c)(3) because review and evaluation of the potential impact of the Ordinance demonstrate
that it involves only a modification to a citywide development standard related to required parking, does
not involve a specific site, development project, or focused geographic area, does not change permitted
land use or density and will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in
the environment; (2) per Guideline 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty, after review and
evaluation of the facts regarding parking standards in the City of Orange, that there is substantial
evidence that adoption of this Ordinance would not have a significant effect on the environment and the
common sense exemption applies; and (3) per Guideline 15321(a) (Class 21, Enforcement Actions by
Regulatory Agencies) because the Ordinance is an action taken by the City as a regulatory agency and
involves “enforcement of a law, general rule, standard, or objective, administered or adopted by the
regulatory agency.”
PROJECT APPLICANT: City of Orange
FURTHER INFORMATION: All interested persons may submit comments and may be heard on any
relevant matter relating to the proposed action by mail, email, voicemail or in-person, as set forth in the
August 10, 2021, City Council agenda. For further information, please contact Chad Ortlieb, Senior
