RES-8138 Approving General Plan Amendment No. 3-92-BRESOLUTION NO. 8138
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY ORANGE UPHOLDING THE RECOMMENDATION
OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ORANGE AND APPROVING THE GENERAL PLAN CLASSI-
FICATION OF PROPERTY SITUATED EAST AND WEST
OF MANCHESTER AVENUE, NORTH OF COMPTON AVENUE.
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 3-
92-B APPLICANT: CITY
OF
ORANGE RECITALS:After due pUblic hearings as required by law,
the City Council of the City of Orange considered a recommendation
of the Planning Commission of the City of Orange
recommending, by Resolution No. PC 64-92, that certain property
situated east and west of Manchester Avenue, north of
Compton Avenue be redesignated from public facilities and
general commercial to office professional and approved
said recommendation after finding and determining the hereinafter
described facts. The real property which is the subject of the
redesignation is more particularly
described as follows:1. Lots 56 and 57
of Tract 461.2. The northwesterly portion of Lot 37 of
the Down Tract.Upon the pUblic hearing before the
City Council, the following
facts were established:1. That requested is an amendment to the Land
Use Element of the General Plan to relocate the fire
station symbol from the property at 206 N. Manchester Avenue to a
portion of the County Manchester Complex at 345 South
City Drive. Also,requested is a change in the Land Use
indication from Public Facilities to Office Professional for the
206 N.
Manchester Avenue property.2. That requested is an amendment to the Land
Use Element of the General Plan to change the 1.2 acre
parcel adjacent to 206 N. Manchester Avenue from
Commercial
to Office Professional.3. That requested is a zone change for the property
at 206 N.Manchester from PI (Public Institutional
District) to OP Office Professional District) and a zone change for
the 1.2 acre parcel east of 206 N. Manchester
Avenue from C-1 Limited Business District)
to
OP (Office Professional District).4. That with the completion of construction
of a new fire station 345 South city Drive, the fire
facility at 206 N.Manchester Avenue will no longer be
needed. The proposal is to terminate the Fire Departments
use of this property,combine it with the remaining portion of
the adjacent 1.2 acre parcel, and either sell or
as an office site. It is still not known what the exact
Interstate 5 freeway dedication will be, but the tentative
take" is approximately half of the property. Continuing
negotiations between CalTrans, the Walt Disney corporation,
the City of Anaheim, and adjacent cities will determine the
precise widening requirements in this area.
5. That the City of Orange is in the process of relocating the
Fire station No. 6 function from 206 N. Manchester Avenue to
345 city Drive South within the general area of the UCI
Medical Center/county Complex. The station relocation to
345 city Drive south will provide a higher level of fire
protection to the service area than the present site at 206
N. Manchester. This new location is more accessible to the
fire service area. The fire station will be compatible with
other governmental uses in the UCI/County Complex, i.e.,
hospital, courtrooms, jail facility, animal shelter, etc.
6. The relocation of Fire station No. 6 will create an excess
parcel of land that, along with the adjacent 1.2 acre, could
be leased or sold as an office or retail commercial site.
Because future realigned Manchester Avenue will be one-
way southbound from Compton Avenue north, thereby
limiting access to the site, and the property is adjacent to a
single family residential tract, staff is proposing to zone
the property for Office Professional use. General Office
uses normally generate less traffic and parking than
typical retail commercial
businesses.NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Orange that the recommendation of the Planning
Commission be upheld and that General Plan Amendment 3-
92-B redesignating the subject property to the office
professional designation be approved for
the following reasons:1. The fire station relocation from 206 N.
Manchester to 345 City Drive South will provide a higher
level of fire protection to the service area than
the present site.2. The new location of the fire station is
more accessible to the
fire service area.3. Proposed general offices will be more
compatible with the surrounding residential uses than
the previous zonings.ADOPTED this 19th day
