EXCEPTION THE NORTH 348 FEET THEREOF. For conveyancing purposes only: APN 093-511-27 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Orange hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 3179-22 and Minor Site Plan Review No. 1096-22 to allow increased student enrollment from 420 to 540 students for TK through eighth grade, install four modular classrooms, expand the existing parking lot, and perform minor landscape improvements at an existing charter school located at 4100 East Walnut Avenue based on the following findings: SECTION 1— FINDINGS General Plan Required Findings: 1. The project must be consistent with the goals and policies stated within the City's General Plan. The Land Use Element of the City's General Plan encourages "a well-balanced community", "one which provides a broad range of housing and business opportunities as well as recreational, institutional, and cultural activities that enhance the overall living environment." The expanded enrollment at the existing charter school will include students from TK through eighth grade and will be accommodated at the site with the installation of four modular classrooms, and expansion of the existing parking lot to include additional parking spaces and a new drop-off/pickup lane. The subject property will continue to provide an opportunity to residents in the community desiring educational alternatives. Planning Commission Resolution No. PC 11-22 Page 3 Conditional Use Permit Required Findings: 1. A conditional use permit shall be granted upon sound principles of land use and in response to services required by the community (OMC 17.10.030.F.1). Public education facilities are basic services provided in all municipalities to ensure the availability of education to its residents. As such, the community as a whole benefits from both public and private schools developed in conformity with the land use and development standards of the OMC. Schools are customarily found in residential areas, and are permitted pursuant to a Conditional Use Permit in the R-1-7 zone. The location of the existing charter school is consistent with the pattern of development for both public and private schools throughout the city. 2. A conditional use permit shall not be granted if it will cause deterioration of bordering land uses or create special problems for the area in which it is located (OMC 17.10.030.F.2). The existing charter school site is located adjacent to single-family residential development and a public school. The site has been operating as a private school since the early 1960's, and OCCA has been operating a charter school at this location since 2020. The existing school buildings will not be expanded; however, the applicant will be installing four modular classrooms, expanding the existing parking lot to include additional parking spaces and a new drop-off/pickup lane that will operate in conjunction with an existing drop-off/pickup zone along Esplanade Street, and performing minor landscape improvements to accommodate the additional 120 students. A Traffic Impact Analysis conducted for the project concluded that traffic generated by the project would not result in any significant impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, the applicant has submitted written Procedures for School Drop-off and Dismissal that will be distributed to school staff members and parents/guardians which provide specific activities, systems, and responsibilities to ensure timely and orderly school drop-off and dismissal, and to minimize impacts to the surrounding residential community. The project as proposed will adequately serve the current request to operate a school with a maximum of 540 students, and the operation of the school will not cause the deterioration of the bordering residential land uses nor create special problems for the area. 3. A conditional use permit must be considered in relationship to its effect on the community or neighborhood plan for the area in which it is located (OMC 17.10.030.F.3). The location of the school is not within an identified or specific community or neighborhood plan. The project was considered in relationship to its effect on the community, in that the subject property is located within the R-1-7 zone, which is an area comprised of single-family residences and a school facility. The granting of this entitlement would not contribute to changing the character of the surrounding area for the existing school will continue operating as a school. The additional 120 students would be accommodated with the installation of four modular classrooms and the parking lot expansion. Furthermore, the project has the potential to help the City meet its long-term Planning Commission Resolution No. PC 11-22 Page 4 General Plan goals as related to coordinated planning for school facilities within the City. The Land Use Element encourages the distribution of parks, schools, and churches throughout the City near these types of residential neighborhoods. The proposed project will not affect the established neighborhood or any long-range plan for this area. 4. A conditional use permit, if granted, shall be made subject to those conditions necessary to preserve the general welfare, not the individual welfare of any particular applicant. Planning Division staff has reviewed the project proposal and the manner in which the school operates. Staff has determined that the site can accommodate the proposed increase in students with the implementation of certain site modifications as described in the staff report. The project includes conditions of approval for the purpose of preserving the general welfare of the City and community. With compliance with all conditions of approval, it is not anticipated that the project will create a negative impact on the existing school property or surrounding community. Minor Site Plan Review Required Findings: l . The project design is compatible with surrounding development and neighborhoods (OMC 17.10.060. H.1). The subject property is developed with an existing school campus, consisting of a circular one-story school building configured around a common open courtyard, a smaller detached one-story building adjacent to a large open playfield, and surface parking lot. A school use has been operating at this site since the early 1960's. No exterior modifications or expansion to the existing school buildings is proposed. In order to accommodate the additional 120 students, the applicant proposes the installation of four modular classrooms at the southeast corner of the open playfield, expansion of the existing parking lot, and minor landscape improvements on the interior of the site. The new modular classrooms will be located approximately 200 feet from the west property line, will be one-story in height, and will display a utilitarian design. The installation of modular classrooms is common practice and an economical option for schools to accommodate increased student enrollment. The surrounding development and neighborhoods consist of single-family residences and an adjacent elementary school, which also operates with modular classrooms located on the southeast portion of the campus. The project as proposed will provide adequate parking, improved functionality of their drop-off/pickup operations, and is compatible with the surrounding development. 2. Minor Site Plan approval shall be granted if the project conforms to City development standards and any applicable special design guidelines or specific plan requirements (OMC 17.10.060. H. 2). The proposed modular classrooms, parking lot expansion, and landscape improvements comply with the development standards of the R-1-7 zone. No exterior modifications or expansion to the existing school campus buildings is proposed. The project was reviewed and approved by the City's Staff Review Committee with conditions of approval contained Planning Commission Resolution No. PC 11-22 Page 5 in this Resolution to ensure the project complies with all City development regulations. 3. Minor Site Plan approval shall be granted if the project provides for safe and adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation, both on- and off -site (OMC 17.10.060.H.3). The project provides safe and adequate access and circulation for vehicles and pedestrians on and off site. A Traffic Impact Analysis has been conducted for the project which analyzed the additional traffic generated by the project in the vicinity of the site, as well as access and circulation of vehicles and pedestrians at the designated student drop-off/pickup zones. The analysis concluded that implementation of the proposed project would not result in any significant project related impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, the applicant has submitted written Procedures for School Drop-off and Dismissal that will be distributed to school staff members and parents/guardians which outline specific activities, systems, and responsibilities to ensure timely and orderly school drop-off and dismissal and to minimize impacts to the surrounding residential community. 4. Minor Site Plan approval shall be granted if City services are 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 are adequate to serve this site, including water, sewer, police and fire services. 5. Minor Site Plan approval shall be granted if the project has been designed to fully mitigate or substantially minimize adverse environmental effects (OMC 17.10.060.H.5). No environmental effects have been identified for the project. The OMC will adequately manage construction and use regulation needs of the project. SECTION 2 — ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The applications for Conditional Use Permit No. 3179-22 and Minor Site Plan Review No. 1096-22 are categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guideline 15303 (Class 3 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) because the project consists of the installation of new, small (< 10,000 SF in urbanized area) structures zoned for such use, not involving the significant use of hazardous substances, where all necessary public services are available, and where the area is not environmentally sensitive. SECTION 3 — CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the following conditions are imposed with project approval: 1.
