SECTION 1 - FINDINGS
General Plan Finding:
1 The project must be consistent with the goals and policies stated within the City's
Generol Plan.
The proposed project supports the goals of the existing General Plan Housing Element
and Land Use Element by fulfilling a range of housing density and type to meet the
diverse needs and lifestyles of residents; removes governmental constraints to housing
development through the use of concessions and waivers; and, provides a housing option
for Orange's aging population which was identified in the needs assessment in the
Housing Element. The project provides housing to Low- and Very-Low income
households. The new units contribute to the City's identified Regional Housing Need
Allocation (RHNA) at the lower income household levels.
Additionally, the project supports the goals of the Circulation and Growth Management
Elements with the placement of residential uses in close proximity to public transit, jobs,
and services. The project also supports the goals of the Urban Design Element by
providing contextually appropriate infill development along the Tustin Street corridor.

Conditional Use Permit Findings:
A Conditional (Jse Permit shqll be granted upon sound principles of land use and in
response to services required by the community (OMC 17.10.030.F.I).
The granting of this Conditional Use Permit is based upon sound principles of land use
and in response to services required by the community in that consideration has been
given to whether the proposed use will detrimentally affect adjacent land uses. The
affordable senior apartment project is located along a residential and commercial corridor
next to a 76 Gas Station and 7-Eleven convenience store and multi-family housing.
Resident-serving uses in proximity to the site include service and commercial uses,
public transit, Santiago Creek Trail, and the interchange between the State Route (SR) 55
and SR 22 Freeways. The proposed project supports the goals of the existing General
Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element by fulfilling a range of housing density,
affordability, and types to meet the diverse needs and lifestyles of residents; removes
governmental constraints to housing development through the use of affordable housing
provisions of State law; and, provides an affordable housing option for Orange's aging
population which was identified in the needs assessment in the Housing Element.
A Conditional (lse Permit shall not be granted f it will couse deterioration of bordering
land uses or create special problems for the area in which it is located (OMC
17.10.030.F.2).
The project is not expected to detrimentally affect adjacent land uses or create special
problems in the area. The site is surrounded by multi-family residential development to
the north, east, and west, and a combination of commercial and multi-family residential
development to the south.
The project is designed with sensitivity to community aesthetics. The architecture utilizes
a consistent and repetitive theme of colors, materials, shapes, and forms. The l0 to 12-
foot setback of Building 3 along Tustin Street with enhanced landscaping will integrate
the building with the streetscape. While the 4-story building height of 53 feet is not
typical for the Tustin Street corridor and surrounding area, there are existing 4-story
senior apartment complexes located directly west across Tustin Street (Harmony Creek
Senior Apartment Homes) and adjacent to the project (Chestnut Place) along Fairway
Drive that integrate with the height and massing of the project. To ensure that the project
height would not create a shading/shadowing effect on adjacent sensitive uses, the
applicant has completed a Shade and Shadow Analysis that demonstrates that the increase
in building height will have no adverse impacts on surrounding properties.
The site layout includes three L-shaped buildings with adjacent open community spaces
that are located a fair distance away from existing surrounding uses. Building I (closest
to the east property line) has been designed with a 2-story eastern elevation to be
sensitive to the existing one-story apartments on the adjacent property. In addition,
existing mature trees located along the northeast property line provide visual separation
between the building mass and the residents to the east.
2
Resolution PC 02-22

The proposed site layout will not interfere with parking or drive aisles on the adjacent
properties, or change fire or refuse service access on any of the bordering properties. A
Preliminary Traffic Analysis was submitted by the applicant's consultant and deemed
acceptable by the City's Traffic Engineer.
A Conditional (Jse Permit must be considered in relationship to its ffict on the
community or neighborhood plan fo, the areo in which it is located (OMC
I 7. 10.030. F.3).
There is no community or neighborhood plan for the area. As stated in the General Plan
finding, the project is consistent with and implements the General Plan.
The new affordable senior housing project will replace an aging and outdated
rehabilitation center facility with a use that will better serve the community. The new
buildings and associated landscaping improvements generally satisfy the development
standards for the Residential Multiple Family (R-3) zone. The project brings a
contemporary character to an area comprised of residential and commercial buildings
dating from 1960's through the 1990's. The proposed landscaping will complement the
project design and will refresh and integrate well with landscaping along Tustin Street,
La Veta Avenue, and Fairway Drive. All right-of-way improvements including
accessibility requirements have been satisfied. Therefore, the effects on the community
within this area of the City have been considered and appropriately addressed and any
specific requirements are included as conditions to be satisfied prior to permit issuance.
A Condttional Use Permit, rf granted, shall be mode subject to those conditions necessary
to preserve the general welfare, not the tndividual welfare of any particular applicant
(oMC 17.10.030.F.4).
All project conditions maintain a purpose of preserving the general welfare of the City
and community. Conditions specifically serve to manage project construction, provide for
site maintenance, address water quality, accommodate disabled person site access, protect
or improve the public right-of-w&y, protect or improve utilities and accommodate
aesthetics.
Major Site Plan Review Findings:
The project design is compatible with surrounding development and neighborhoods OMC
r7.10.060.H.1).
The project incorporates a contemporary architectural design that utilizes a consistent and
repetitive color theme, high quality materials, shapes and forms that are comparable to
surrounding buildings, and incorporate elements that respond to the site's topography,
neighborhood adjacency, and street presence. The project includes appropriate setbacks,
provides an integrated landscape theme, uses landscaping to buffer massing of the project
from surrounding uses, provides for adequate on-site circulation and parking, and
4
I

presents no conflicts with surrounding uses, including traffic
Major Site Plan opproval shall be granted f the project conforms to City development
standords and any applicable special design guidelines or specific plan requirements
(oMC 17.10.060.H.2).
With the utilization of the affordable housing provisions of state law, the project
conforms to the City Development Standards of the Residential Multiple Family (R-3)
zone including: lot size, lot coverage,lot frontage, lot depth, setbacks, distance between
structures, recreational amenities, storage, landscaping, bicycle parking, utilities, and
trash enclosures.
Without the applied concessions and development standard waivers, the plan would not
comply with the R-3 zone Development Standards for building height and number of
stories, density, parking, unit size (one-bedroom units), usable and common open space,
loading area, motorcycle parking and fence height within the front yard setback. These
items are allowed under the Density Bonus provisions of OMC Chapter 17.15 and
California's State Density Bonus Law, codified in the California Government Code at
Sections 65915-65918 for an affordable housing development.
There are no special design guidelines or specific plans for the site. As stated in the
General Plan finding, the project implements the General Plan.
Major Stte Plan approval shall be granted f the project provides for safe and adequate
vehicular and pedestrian circulation, both on- and offsite (OMC 17.10.060.H.3).
Access to the site would occur from La Veta Avenue and Fairway Drive. As determined
by the Fire Department and Public Works Department Traffic Division staff, under the
proposed design, all site tenants, occupants, service providers, waste hauling vehicles
and, emergency service vehicles will be able to safely and adequately access the site.
The project does not affect any level of service for streets in the vicinity of the project as
documented in the traffic analysis generated for the project.
Major Site Plan approvol shall be granted if City services ore available and adequate to
serve the project (OMC 17.10.060.H.4).
A review of the project with all City Departments concludes that City services will be
available and adequate to serve this site, including water, sewer, police and fire services.
Major Site Plan opproval shall be granted f the project has been designed to fully
mitigate or substantially minimize adverse environmental efficts (OMC 17.10.060.H.5).
No adverse environmental effects were identified resulting from project implementation.
The project was reviewed against the criteria for a Categorical Exemption. The proposed
project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA per State CEQA Guidelines
15332 (Class 32 In-fill Development Projects) as detailed in Section 2 of this
J

Resolution. Additionally, traffic, noise, air quality, public services, and utility
assessments were prepared for the project and concluded that the project would not result
in impacts, supporting the Class 32 exemption. The OMC will adequately manage
construction and use regulation needs of the project.
Desisn Review Findinqs:
The project design upholds community aesthetics through the use of an internally
consistent, integrated design theme and is consistent with all adopted specific plans,
applicable design standards, and their requiredfindings (OMC 17.10.070.G.3).
The consistent architectural design of the buildings, including colors and materials,
brings a contemporary aesthetic to an area that is characterized by an eclectic mix of
commercial and multi-family residential development dating from the 1960' s through the
1990's. The2 and 4-story building height and massing integrates with the adjacent 3 and
4-story Casas Del Rio and Chestnut Place senior citizen housing developments, and the
4-story Harmony Creek Senior Apartment Homes to the west across Tustin Street. The 2-
story building height along the eastern edge of Building I takes into consideration the
adjacent l-story multi-family residential project to the east. The proposed landscape
design, project lighting, and signage will enhance the architectural aesthetics of the
contemporary residential development, and will contribute to the integration of the
project with the surrounding development along Tustin Street, La Veta Avenue, and
Fairway Drive. Streetscape enhancements complement the design of the buildings and
provide an appealing pedestrian environment to encourage pedestrian activity and linkage
between the project and surrounding commercial and residential uses. The new senior
apartment project will not only provide an updated feel along Tustin Street, La Veta
Avenue, and Fairway Drive, but it will also replace an aging, underutilized rehabilitation
facility with an alternative project that will benefit the community. The project presents
an overall internally consistent and integrated design theme that upholds community
aesthetics.
There are no adopted specific plans or design standards applicable to this site.
Incentives/ Waivers and Reductio
1 The application for concessions and incentives meets the threshold requirements of the
definition of concessions and incentives set forth in Section 17.I5.020, in particttlar, they
result in identifiable, financially sfficient, and actual cost reduction for the housing
development.
Concessions for building height and stories, private and common open space, and unit
size, will provide the development with a greater number of units without compromising
area for recreational amenities and landscaping. These concessions will ultimately allow
the project to be profitable by allowing enough additional rental unit income to make the
project viable, which may not be able to occur under standard OMC requirements.
Resolution PC 02-22
Page 7 of 25
2
Furthermore, OMC Section 17.14.100 would otherwise allow the Planning Commission
to grant a Conditional Use Permit for greater height and stories.
The incentives and concessions ore required in order to provide for affordable housing
costs or for affordable rents for the lower income density bonus units proposed by the
applicant.
The cumulative whole of the concessions will help to maximize the number of units
provided which will facilitate affordability for the entire project. Without concessions for
building height and stories, private and common open space, and unit size, fewer units for
seniors would result which would not make the project financially viable.
The project would not have ony specific adverse impact, os defined in paragraph (2) of
subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code, upon public health, safety or
the physical environment, and for which there is not feasible method to satisfactorily
mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact.
There is no adverse impact on public health or safety as a result of the project. There are
no state or federal laws that the project conflicts with. The project site and surrounding
properties are not designated for agriculture or resource preservation. The project is
consistent with the General Plan and zoning ordinance.
The project would not have an adverse impact on any real property that is listed in the
Califurnia Register of Historical Resources.
The subject site and adjacent properties are not listed in the California Register of
Historical Resources. A Historic Resources Assessment of the existing rehabilitation
center building and residence was conducted for the project. After documentary research,
site analysis, development of historical background, and evaluation against federal and
state eligibility criteria, the Assessment concluded that the subject property, including the
rehabilitation center building and residence is not eligible for listing in the National or
California Registers and does not meet the definition of historical resources under CEQA.
The project would not have an adverse ffict on any reol property that qualifies for
inclusion in a local, stote or federal listing of historically signfficant resources. An
adverse ffict is found when a project eligible fo, , density bonus may alter, directly or
indirectly, any of the characteristics of any real property that qualifies for inclusion in a
local, state or federol listing of historically significant resources in a manner that would
diminish the integrity of the property's location, design, setttng, materials, worlcrnanship,
feeling, or ossociation.
The buildings within the project vicinity have not been identified as eligible for inclusion
in any listing per the City's most recent historical resources survey in 2005.
A Historic Resources Assessment of the existing rehabilitation center building and
residence was conducted for the project. After documentary research, site analysis,

development of historical background, and evaluation against federal and state eligibility
criteria, the Assessment concluded that the subject property, including the rehabilitation
center building and residence is not eligible for listing in the National or California
Registers and do not meet the definition of historical resources under CEQA.
Because the project site is located within high sensitivity areas on the City's General Plan
pre-historic and historic archaeological sensitivity maps, an Archaeological Report was
conducted. The Report indicated that no archaeological resources that require further
consideration were identified on the site as a result of a pedestrian survey. In addition, a
records search revealed that the project area had not been previously surveyed and no
resources had been previously recorded. A California Native American Heritage
Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File search; however, yielded a positive result. The
Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation responded to the environmental
consultant's information query letter expressing concern about the project area. The
project site is also in a location that has been identified as being archaeologically
sensitive due to its proximity to Santiago Creek. As such, the Report provided
archaeological monitoring recommendations during ground disturbing activities. These
recommendations are included as conditions of approval for the project.
The development stondard being waived would otherwise preclude or inhibit the
construction of the houstng development with the density bonus to which the housing
development ls entitled and that ore needed to make the housing development
e c onomic ally fe as ibl e.
Without the waivers for motorcycle parking and loading area building footprints would
need to be smaller and fewer units for seniors would result which would not make the
project financially viable. A waiver for fence height within the front yard setback ensures
security for the senior community and rentability of the units.
The project meets the threshold requirements of the definition of awaiver or reduction as
defined in Orange Municipal Code Section 17.15.020.
OMC Section 17 .15.020 defines Waivers and Reductions as "Modifications to
development standards that would otherwise preclude construction of the housing
development with the density bonus and concessions and incentives to which the housing
development is entitled and that are needed to make the housing development
economically feasible." The project provides affordable senior housing units. The
development standard waivers are needed per the justification in the above finding.
Without the waivers for motorcycle parking and loading area, building footprints would
need to be smaller and fewer units for seniors would result which would not make the
project financially viable. A waiver for fence height within the front yard setback ensures
security for the senior community and rentability of the units.

SECTION 2 _ ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Categorical Exemption: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of
CEQA per State CEQA Guidelines 15332 (Class 32 - Infill Development Projects) because the
project meets the following criteria:
With the allowed density bonus, the project is consistent with the existing General Plan
designations, General Plan policies, applicable zoning designations and regulations.
The project is in the City on a site less than five acres and is substantially surrounded by
urban uses.
The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threated species.
The project has been evaluated for significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality,
and water quality and no significant effects have been identified.
The site would be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
Traffic, noise, air quality, public services, and utility assessments were prepared for the project
and concluded that the project would not result in impacts, supporting the Class 32 exemption. In
addition, the project would not trigger any exceptions from State CEQA Guidelines 15300.2
based on location, cumulative impacts, significant effects, location near a scenic highway,
location on a hazardous waste site, or causing substantial adverse change to a historical resource
because the project is not on an environmentally sensitive site, does not contribute to cumulative
impacts, will not have a significant effect on the environment, is not near a scenic highway, is
not on hazardous waste site, and is not a historical resources site. No environmental public
review is required.
The applicant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the City, its officers, agents
and employees from any and all liability or claims that may be brought against the City
arising out of its approval of this permit, save and except that caused by the City's active
negligence. The City shall promptly notify the applicant of any such claim, action, or
proceedings and shall cooperate fully in the defense.
The applicant shall comply with all conditions of approval contained within Planning
Commission Resolution No. PC 02-22 associated with Conditional Use Permit No. 3146-
21, Major Site Plan Review No. I 047 -21, and Design Review No. 5042-21 .

for Archeology shall be present full-time when Project excavation activities will extend
below artificial fill deposits into native soils. The applicant shall provide documentation
to the Planning Division that a qualified monitor has been retained prior to issuance of a
grading permit. No archaeological monitoring is recommended during demolition of
existing buildings or clearing/grubbing of existing landscape. Archaeological monitoring
should last no more than l0 working days if the monitoring archaeologist does not
identify archaeological resources or the potential for archaeological resources during that
time. Alternately, archaeological monitoring could be reduced from full-time to part-
time or to spot-checking if determined appropriate by the professional archaeologist
based on the monitoring results. However, if determined necessary, archaeological
monitoring should continue until grading and excavation are complete or until the
monitoring archaeologist determines, based on field observations, that there is no
likelihood of encountering intact archaeological cultural resources.

activities must be suspended within 50 feet of the find until a representative identified by
the City is contacted and a qualified professional archaeologist can assess the nature and
significance of the find and determine if any additional study or treatment of the find is
warranted. Additional studies could include, but would not be limited to, collection and
documentation of artifacts, documentation of the cultural resources on State of California
Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 forms, or subsurface testing. If evaluated
as eligible for the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR) and if impacts to the
resource cannot be avoided, mitigation will be necessary. In addition, if significant
subsurface prehistoric resources are encountered that will be subject to impacts from the
Project, tribes with historic and cultural ties to the area shall be contacted by the City.
Upon completion of any monitoring activities, the archaeologist shall prepare a report to
document the methods and results of monitoring activities for submittal to the City prior
to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The final version of this report should be
