ING CITY COUNCIL ACTION OF NOVEMBER 13,
1990, TO NOW APPROVE THE RECLASSIFICATION

1129-90 Applicant: James Schulze WHEREAS, on September
5, 1990, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC-
65-90, which recommended that the city Council approve
a zone change request to allow the reclassification of property
located on the north side of Walnut Avenue, between Tustin
street and Lincoln street, at 1515, 1527,and 1541
East
Walnut Avenue, more particularly described as follows:Chapman Tract Lot 8 Block E
82.5 feet West 322.5 feet South East 80 feet West
240 feet South 293.6 East 80 feet
West 160 feet South 293.6 feet.The recommended change
was from
the R-I-6 District to the R-2-6
District.On November 13, 1990, the City Council adopted General Plan
Amendment 3-90 to allow the most westerly parcel
to remain Low Density Residential 2-6 units per acre,
while changing the designation of the remaining two parcels to
Low/Medium Density Residential 6-15 units per acre. The
Council then adopted Zone Change No. 1129-90 which changed
the classification of all three of the subject parcels
from the R-I-6 (Single Family Residential)to
R-2-
6 (Residential Dyplex). Later, there was concern that this change of
classification was inconsistent with General Plan Amendment 3-90.At
the public hearing on April 16, 1991, the City Council reconsidered and
re~cinded its action on General Plan Amendment 3-90
as adopted on_November 13, 1991. It
was determined that the Council's earlier action on Zone Change
1129-90
should be reenacted to ensure compliance with procedural requirements.At the
public hearing of April 16, 1991, the following facts were established:1.
Three rectangular parcels of land with a total
net area of 61,498 square
2. Surrounding land use includes single family residences
north and south of the site, commercial development east of
the site fronting on Tustin Street and Walnut Avenue and two
single story duplex buildings adjacent to the west property
line of the site. Adjacent single family residences face
onto Orange Grove Avenue one block north of Walnut Avenue
and the proposed land use and zoning boundary is the rear
property line of adjacent residences and the project site.
Therefore, it appears that the proposed low/medium density
land use designation will not intrude into the adjacent low
density single family development. Additionally, Walnut
Avenue is an arterial roadway with moderate traffic volume
which may not, under existing traffic conditions, be ideally
suited to single family use. The site is in a transitional
area located between low and low/medium density residential
development to the west and more intensive commercial
development to the east.
3. Surrounding land use and zoning is as follows:
North - Single family residences, zoned R-l-
6,South - Single family residences across Walnut in a
planned unit development zoned R-
1-6.Commercial zoned
C-1.Multiple family zoned R-2-
6A (Single
Story
OVerlay
District).East West 4. Surrounding residential properties
are single story.NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City
Council of the City of Orange that Zone Change 1129-
90 be approved reclassifying the subject property to the
R-2-6A Residential Duplex, Single Story OVerlay District because
R-2-6 will permit development at a density and
scale which is compatible with adjacent single family residences and
appropriate to the site. The Suffix A, Single story
OVerlay is appropriate
because of the existing surrounding single story
development.
