NEW HEARINGS: 3.1 OLD TOWNE HISTORIC DISTRICT BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT The City of Orange is proposing to expand the boundary of the local Old Towne Historic District (Historic District) to include 12 properties in the 100 and 200 block of south Batavia Street. The Historic District boundary is currently the centerline of Batavia Street. Under Orange Municipal Code Chapter 17.17, historic district designation is processed as an overlay zone with protections for historic resources added to the base zoning. The following properties are proposed to be added to the Historic District. LOCATION: NOTE: The historic district overlay zone is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines 15308 (Class 8 – Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment) and 15331 (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation). The overlay zone is established for the protection of historic resources and makes no changes to the land uses permitted by the base zoning. The regulatory process for projects within the historic district overlay zone involves review to ensure conformance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (SOI Standards). The Historic Preservation Design Standards for Old Towne, required for projects within the Historic District, are consistent with and incorporate the SOI Standards. Expansion of the overlay zone ensures that additional historic resources and the Old Towne Historic District as a whole will be preserved and protected from changes that may affect the integrity of it s historic character, design, materials, and features. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Planning Commission Resolution 26-18. Approval of Zone Change No. 1289-18 and adoption of an ordinance to expand an existing historic district overlay zone to add 12 properties on South Batavia Street to the local Old Towne Historic District and update the City of Orange historic resources inventory. Planning Commission Agenda – August 20, 2018 Page 4 of 5 3.2 ZONE ORDINANCE LAND USE MATRIX AND USE STANDARD CONSOLIDATION (CITYWIDE) The City of Orange is proposing to consolidate multiple existing land use matrices, special use standards, conditional use standards, prohibited uses, and standards for unlisted uses for all land use sections of Title 17 (the Zoning Code). This proposed ordinance establishes a single Master Land Use Matrix, reorganizes existing Code content and serves to promote ease of use and elimination of redundancy. Limited new supplemental text is incorporated to clarify City policy regarding table content and incorporates supplemental text to clarify City policy regarding table content. LOCATION: CITYWIDE NOTE: The proposed Ordinance is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the definition of a project provided in Section 15378(b)(5) of State CEQA Guidelines because the activity undertaken is consolidation and clarification of existing land use tables and use standards text. The activity will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. No public review is required. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Planning Commission Resolution 27-18 recommending City Council approval of an ordinance amending Title 17 of the Orange Municipal Code to consolidate existing land use tables and use standards into a single chapter entitled Master Land Use Matrix in Title 17 of the Orange Municipal Code. 4.
