Resolution No. 11553 2
48,two-and three-story single-family small lot homes,open space recreation areas, guest parking,
and related site improvements, located at 901 E. Katella Avenue,based on the following findings:
SECTION 1 —ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1882-22 was prepared to evaluate the physical
environmental impacts of the project, in conformance with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15070 and in
conformance with local CEQA guidelines. The Planning Commission fords that the Mitigated
Negative Declaration and associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program contain an
adequate assessment of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. The City
Council finds that the project will have less than significant impacts to the environment with the
implementation of Project Design Features relating to Air Quality and Noise, and Mitigation
Measures related to Biological Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials,
Transportation/Traffic, and Tribal Cultural Resources included in the Mitigated Negative
Declaration.
On November 9, 2023, a Notice of Intent to Adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration No.
1882-22 was filed with the Orange County Clerk Recorder, posted at the site in two locations,
mailed to 122 property owners and tenants within a 400-foot radius of the project site,potentially
affected cities, public agencies, utility service providers, and published in the Anaheim Bulletin
Newspaper on November 9, 2023. The public review period began on November 9, 2023 and
ended on December 11, 2023. The Mitigated Negative Declaration was made publicly available at
the Community Development Department, City Clerk's office, and the City's website.
Public comments on Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1882-22 were received from the
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and 37 neighboring community members.
Responses to comments addressing feedback relevant to environmental impacts received during
the public review period were incorporated into the final Mitigated Negative Declaration.
Comments did not change the conclusions of Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1882-22.
SECTION 2—GENERAL PLAN FINDINGS
1.The project must be consistent with the goals and policies stated within the City's General
Plan.
With adoption of General Plan Amendment No. 0004-22, in conjunction with the subject
development proposal establishing the MDR land use designation for the site, the project
is consistent with the goals and strategies of the City's Strategic Plan in that the project
will enhance and promote quality of life in the community by supporting and enhancing
diverse living environments. The project is consistent with the goals and policies stated
within the General Plan Land Use, Housing, Economic Development, and Urban Design
Elements. The project transforms and revitalizes a vacant derelict utility property with a
residential development that provides a space-efficient alternative for home ownership in
the City. The project removes a visually intrusive wireless communication facility and
provides architecture and landscape design that emphasizes pedestrian orientation and safe
and convenient access between uses. The project brings a residential population into an
Resolution No. 11553 3
area where goods and services are offered by local businesses, national retailers, and
restaurants. The project creates housing to support the employment base in Orange and is
in proximity to employment hubs (institutional, medical, and industrial). The project
increases the inventory of housing and diversifies the housing types available in the
community. The creation of infill housing is consistent with Housing Element Policy
Action 7.
The streetscape and sidewalk improvements included in the project address the goals of the
Circulation and Mobility Element by facilitating pedestrian activity and connections
between commercial, office, and entertainment destinations. The project also provides
housing in proximity to bus service and a Class II (on-street) bikeway located on
Cambridge Street. These factors contribute to the City's development of a multi-modal
transportation network. Finally, providing housing in proximity to employment, services,
and transit also supports the Natural Resources Element by establishing more efficient
relationships between land uses that encourage multi-modal travel and reduced dependence
on traditional auto travel and associated vehicle trips in pursuit of reduced air pollution
emissions.
2.The requested General Plan Amendment to change the current land use designation for the
project site from General Commercial, Max. 1.0 FAR (GC) to Medium Density
Residential, 15-24 dwelling units per acre (MDR) is consistent with the land use
designation to the west, as presented in Attachment"C"to this Resolution.
3.The land uses allowed under the MDR land use designation are compatible with the
abutting Low Density Residential (LDR) land uses that would remain to the north, and
General Commercial, Max 1.0 FAR (GC) land uses to the east, south, and west of the
project site, which accommodates residential uses, a mix of retail and service commercial
uses, and professional offices. The project represents a continuation of the adjacent
multifamily land use designations and development to the west on Cambridge Street and
Katella Avenue, between Glassell and Cambridge Street. These long-established
multifamily developments have a MDR General Plan designation and are zoned R-3.
Additionally, senior apartments are under construction a short distance to the east of the
site at 1249 E. Katella Avenue.
4.The proposed MDR land use designation facilitates infill single-family residential
development in a non-traditional format neighborhood tract. The project is consistent with
the intent of the MDR land use designation,in that the project provides private and common
open space with amenities, a pedestrian-friendly integration along both street frontages, is
adjacent to public transportation, and is in close proximity to commercial, retail, medical
and professional offices, and recreational uses. As designed, the project would be
consistent with the site's new General Plan land use designation and would comply with
the General Plan policies for MDR designated areas.
Resolution No. 11553 4
SECTION 3—TENTATIVE TRACT MAP FINDINGS
The proposed division of land complies with all requirements of the Subdivision Map Act
and Title 16, Subdivisions, of the Orange Municipal Code, and all other resolutions and
ordinances of this City, including, but not limited to, requirements concerning area,
improvements and design, floodwater drainage control, appropriate improved public
roads, sanitary disposal facilities, water supply availability, public safety facilities and
environmental protection.
The subject tentative tract map for the small lot subdivision complies with the
requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, OMC Title 16, Subdivisions, and all other
resolutions and ordinances of this City, including the Small Lot Subdivision Ordinance
OMC Section 17.14.270). Further,the tract map for the small lot subdivision establishes
private and common use areas for the proposed residential development on a vacant paved
site that was used as a commercial facility. Site planning requirements related to area,
improvements and design, floodwater drainage control, appropriate improved public
roads, sanitary disposal facilities, water supply availability, public safety facilities and
environmental protection have been addressed either via project design components
shown on the proposed plans or through conditions of approval. The project, therefore,
meets this finding.
SECTION 4—MAJOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FINDINGS
1.The project design is compatible with surrounding development and neighborhoods(OMC
17.10.060.H1).
The project site is in an area of the city that contains a mix of single and multi-family
residential uses, as well as commercial development. The proposed project introduces a
contemporary residential design that is intended to respond to the eclectic contemporary
visual character of the area. The proposed density and small lot single-family product type
provide a transition between the traditional single-family neighborhoods to the north and
the denser multifamily condominium and apartment developments to west.The three-story
building height integrates with the large scale two-story commercial buildings to the east
and south that direct massing towards the Katella Avenue frontage. The project considers
the single-story residents to the north by providing a two-story building height, second-
story step backs between 12 and 15 feet and clerestory windows on north building
elevations, and a green screen along the entire north property line and northeast corner to
minimize privacy concerns. The streetscape and landscape design, project lighting, and
signage enhance the architectural aesthetics and contribute to the integration of the project
with the surrounding development. The project, therefore, meets this finding.
2.The project conforms to City development standards and any applicable special design
guidelines or specific plan requirements (OMC 17.10.060.H2).
The proposed development conforms with the OMC and the City's Small Lot Subdivision
Development Standards and Guidelines, except for entry drive widths off of Cambridge
Street and Katella Avenue (arterial highways). The reduction in width will be addressed
Resolution No. 11553 5
through the approval of Administrative Adjustment No. 0293-23, which would allow a
10%reduction to the required 30-foot-wide entry drive width off arterial highways for both
the Cambridge Street and Katella Avenue entries. The Planning Division,together with the
Public Works Department, Subdivision and Traffic Divisions reviewed the request and
found the reduced driveway widths adequate for the proposed development.
The project also complies with the Small Lot Subdivision Guidelines in that the three-story
building height integrates with the large scale two-story commercial buildings to the east
and south that direct massing towards the Katella Avenue frontage. Two-story units with
stepped back second stories, strategic window placement, and green screening along the
north property line,take into consideration the adjacent one-story single family residential
development to the north. The architectural design incorporates varied roof forms, arched
openings, unique window arrangements, trim and siding, and façade plane changes that
help break up the massing and provide visual interest along the street frontages. The
building orientations along Cambridge Street and Katella Avenue consider the site's
characteristics in that the main entrances are oriented towards the streets and sidewalks to
create a relationship between the buildings and pedestrians and establish a strong tie to the
street frontages. The streetscape improvements are intended to provide a friendly
pedestrian-oriented interface with the sidewalk for existing and anticipated patterns of
pedestrian activity in the area and encourage pedestrian linkage between the project and
surrounding uses. There are no specific plan requirements applicable to the project. The
project,therefore, meets this finding.
3.The project provides for safe and adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation, both on-
and off-site (OMC 17.10.060.H.3).
This project was reviewed by the City's interdepartmental Staff Review Committee and
vehicular and pedestrian circulation, both on and off-site, were found to be safe and
adequate. The Planning Division,together with the Public Works Department, Subdivision
and Traffic Divisions reviewed the Administrative Adjustment request and found the
reduced driveway widths adequate for the proposed development. Vehicle access is
provided by two-way entrance driveways along Cambridge Street and Katella Avenue.
These entry drives connect to a looped private interior roadway that provides vehicle and
pedestrian access to the main entrances and garages of the dwelling units.Pedestrian access
from the street frontages is provided via paved walkways at the Cambridge Street
driveway, at the southwest corner of the site, and through gated courtyards for each unit
along Cambridge Street and Katella Avenue. The project also provides convenient
pedestrian access to nearby shopping,restaurants, office,and residential uses,as well as to
the bus stop located on Katella Avenue, adjacent to the southwest corner of the site, and
the Class II (On-Street) bikeway on Cambridge Street. Interior walkways are provided on
the east and west sides of the interior residential island that connects to a landscaped paseo
that leads to unit entries and at the entrance to the pocket park along the northern boundary
providing access to the park. In addition,the Site Distance Analysis included in Appendix
L of Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1882-22 analyzed inbound left turns to the project
from Cambridge Street and determined that sight lines could be obstructed by vehicles
queued in the southbound left-turn lane and/or southbound through lane at the intersection
Resolution No. 11553 6
of Cambridge Street and Katella Avenue, which could potentially create a dangerous
turning movement. As a result, a traffic mitigation measure (MM Trans-1) is included in
the Mitigated Negative Declaration that requires the applicant to install striping
modifications or signage to prohibit southbound left turn movement from Cambridge Street
into the project.
The design of the vehicular and pedestrian network for the site supports the goals and
policies of the Circulation & Mobility Element of the General Plan which focus on
achieving safe and comprehensive circulation that sustains quality of life in Orange
neighborhoods. The project,therefore, meets this finding.
4.City services are available and adequate to serve the project(OMC 17.10.060.H4).
The project was reviewed by the City's interdepartmental Staff Review Committee and
City services were found to be sufficient to serve the project. The project is an infill
development located on a site that is already developed as a commercial use in an area of
the City that is essentially built out. As such,City services are already available in the area
to serve the site. The project, therefore, meets this finding.
5.The project has been designed to fully mitigate or substantially minimize adverse
environmental effects (OMC 17.10.060.H 5).
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1882-22 analyzes the environmental impacts of the
project and requires implementation of Project Design Features relating to Air Quality and
Noise, and Mitigation Measures related to Biological Resources, Geology and Soils,
Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Transportation/Traffic, and Tribal Cultural Resources.
These mitigation measures reduce the environmental effects of the project to a less than
significant level. The project,therefore, meets this finding.
SECTION 5—DESIGN REVIEW FINDINGS
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 required findings (OMC 17.10.07.G.3).
The project is neither located in a specific plan area nor an area of the City subject to design
standards. The surrounding community is characterized by a mix of land use types and
design styles with no specific architectural theme. Adjacent commercial and residential
buildings are generally contemporary in style, one and two stories in height, have varied
roof forms,and rectangular and arched openings. The area along Katella Avenue is also in
transition with the new three-story Katella Terrace senior apartments (1249 E. Katella
Avenue) under construction to the east, Kiddie Academy daycare facility (232 E. Katella
Avenue) and Rapids Express Car Wash (1325 W. Katella Avenue) to the west, and five-
story multi-family apartments (Garrison Modern Apartments, 1725 W. Katella Avenue)
further to the west.
Resolution No. 11553 7
The proposed project will revitalize the neighborhood by replacing an existing, obsolete
two-story AT&T facility and surface parking lot with a distinctive, contemporary
residential development that integrates with the surrounding development along
Cambridge Street and Katella Avenue. In addition, the project includes the removal of an
existing non-stealth wireless communication facility which will improve the area
aesthetics. The three-story building height integrates with the large scale two-story
commercial buildings to the east and south that direct massing towards the Katella Avenue
frontage. Two-story units located along the northern boundary take into consideration the
adjacent one-story single-family residential development to the north. The architectural
design incorporates a combination of hip, flat, and shed roof forms, unique window
arrangements and details, arched openings, use of trim and siding, and façade plane
changes to add visual interest.The proposed landscape design,project lighting,and signage
will enhance the architectural aesthetics and will contribute to the integration of the project
with the surrounding development. Streetscape enhancements along Cambridge Street and
Katella Avenue provide an appealing pedestrian friendly environment to encourage
pedestrian activity and linkage to surrounding commercial and residential uses, and public
transportation.This project presents a unifying theme and results in an internally consistent
design that is compatible with the eclectic mix of styles in the surrounding area. Further,
in order to accommodate this residential development project, a Zone Change, General
Plan Amendment, and implementation of the Small Lot Subdivision Development
Standards will allow a space efficient alternative housing type which would create an
additional opportunity for homeownership in the City of Orange. The project, therefore,
meets this finding.
SECTION 6—ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENT FINDINGS
1.The reduction in standards will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general
welfare of persons residing or working on the subject property or in the vicinity (OMC
17.10.050.E.1).
The applicant is requesting an Administrative Adjustment to allow for a 2-foot, 5-inch to
3-foot (10%) reduction to the required 30-foot-wide entry drive width off of arterial
highways for both the Cambridge Street and Katella Avenue entries. The Planning
Division, together with the Public Works Department, Subdivision and Traffic Divisions
reviewed the request and found that the reduced driveway widths are adequate and will not
be detrimental to public safety or the general welfare of persons on or in the vicinity of the
property. The project,therefore,meets this finding.
2.Issuance of the permit does not compromise the intent of this code (OMC 17.10.050.E.2).
Granting the administrative adjustment does not compromise the intent of the OMC
because the requested reduction continues to accommodate a functional and efficient site
plan and on-site circulation. The project, therefore, meets this finding.
