NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Orange will hold a Public
Hearing at a Regular Meeting of the City Council on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at 6:00 p.m., or as
soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the City Council Chamber, 300 E. Chapman Avenue,
Orange, to consider the following request:
SUBJECT:An ordinance amending certain provisions of Title 17 of the Orange Municipal Code
to increase the number of chickens allowed on residential properties, adjust coop setback
requirements from property lines to structures used for human habitation, and remove the
combining limit of dogs and cats with small animals such as poultry. These amendments are
proposed in order to enhance Code clarity, enforcement, and flexibility while maintaining
neighborhood compatibility.

LOCATION:Citywide
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION:The proposed project is not subject to the provisions of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to (1) Section 15061(b)(3) of the state
CEQA Guidelines (Common Sense Exemption) because it can be seen with certainty that there is
no possibility that it would have a significant effect on the environment; and (2) Section 15378
because it will not have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on the
environment and is not a "project." For this reason, no further CEQA documentation is required.
FURTHER INFORMATION:All interested persons may be heard on any relevant matter
relating to the proposed action by mail, email, voicemail or in-person as set forth in the June 10,
2025, City Council agenda. To obtain further information about the project, please contact Chad
