Tentative Traot 14984 Applioant: B.A. Properties RECITALS: After report thereon by the Planning Commission and after due public hearings as required by law, and after receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission, recommending, by Resolution No. PC 50-94 that the subdivision of property situated at the east side of Crawford Canyon Road, north and south of Cliffway Drive be approved, the city Council considered Tentative Tract 14984 and determined that the recommendation of the Planning Commission should be upheld and Tentative Tract 14984 be approved. Subject property is more particularly described in Exhibit " A".During the public hearing, the City Council found the facts as follows:1. This project revises a previously approved development plan for a 182 acre site which includes the extension of Crawford canyon Road to Cannon Street, and the adjoining area to the east. The previous plan was originally approved in 1980,and was modified in 1983, 1986 and 1988. The 1988 approval allowed development of 400 residential units, including a mixture of single family and multiple family housing types.2. The current application revises portions of the plan,and retains other portions as previously approved. It contains a total of 298 units, 102 units fewer than the approved plan.In the proposed project, all units would be detached. 95 units would be single family detached condominiums. 100 would be detached single family dwellings on small lots (average 3877 square feet), and the remaining 103 units would be detached single family dwellings on lots approximately 7,000 square feet or greater. As with the previous approval, the project is considered a planned unit development, where development is clustered and open space areas are consolidated.3. In general, the project compares favorably to that approved in 1988. It retains the open space features, and reduces density by more than 25%. All infrastructure improve-ments shall be provided as previously required, including the construction of Crawford Canyon Road. The previously multiple family components of the project, the attached townhomes and stacked condominiums are being replaced by detached dwelling units. This reduction in density, and the fact that the entire project will have the appearance of a single family development, is likely to have a lesser impact upon, and be more acceptable to the surrounding area. 4. The construction of Crawford Canyon Road is an integral part of the overall development. Crawford Canyon Road appears on both the city and county Master Plans of Arterial Highways as a secondary arterial roadway. Many of the existing homes in the area were originally approved for development based on the understanding that Crawford Canyon Road would ultimately be constructed as an additional north/south link in the city's circulation system. with approval of the previously approved final maps for this site, improvement bonds were posted to assure the construction of Crawford Canyon Road. When development ceased, the city called upon the bond company to perform. The issue is now under litigation. A condition has been proposed to require completion of the road in a timely manner. 5. The construction of Crawford Canyon Road was discussed at length at the Planning commission hearing. Many area residents expressed concern with the completion of the road with regard to traffic safety issues. Residents' concerns were with future traffic volumes and speed, and they sought assurances that adequate provisions would be made for speed limits, stop signs, signals, crosswalks, and the like. Particular concerns were raised with respect to pedestrian safety at Linda vista School. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the City of Orange that Tentative Tract 14984 be approved for the following reasons: 1. The proposed subdivision of land is compatible with the objectives, policies, land uses and programs specified in the city's General Plan. 2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development proposed. 3. The subdivision is designed in a manner to minimize impact to the environment and wildlife habitat; grading is generally limited to those areas previously graded for a prior development plan, thereby retaining existing coastal sage scrub habitat. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the following conditions are imposed with approval: 1. The approval of this tentative tract map (in the form of adoption of a resolution by the City Council shall not be effective and no permits shall be issued until the applicant deposits an amount adequate to cause construction of Crawford Canyon Road, up to $2.4 million, into a City 2 Reso No. 8428 controlled interest-bearing escrow account, the terms of which are defined below. If such deposit is not made within ten (10) business days following said approval, this entire tract map approval is null and void.A.

This evidence shall be submitted to the Community Development Director for review 4.
