INTRODUCTION �
Where We Work �
Our vision ,for Orange is to find an appropriate balance between residential, commercial, and
indust�ial demands. This vision encourages-the City's retail districts to improve piece by=piece, so-
that their efforts will result in a public realm along Chapman Avenue, Tustin Street, Katella
Avenue, and Main Street that will be characterized by visually attractive commercial development,
active public areas; high-quality streetscapes, and innovative design that complements Orange's
heritage.
To-achieve our vision, we shall work toward the.following objectives:
■ The City will strive to provide for a range of businesses including both small, family-owned
businesses and larger businesses that serve a regional markef.
• The appearance and variety of commercial, retail, industrial, and employment centers .will
reflect the pride that residents have for Orange, as well as the long-term investments the City
has made in its infrastructure.
■ Orange will tap into the entertainment and hospitality markets by enabling development of
high-quality facilities strategically located near other regional tourist draws.
■ We will continue to support educational and medical institutions and other industries that
provide high paying jobs and are major contributors to the community.
Where We Play
Our community recognizes that its quality of life will be judged by how well we connect with our
surroundings. Therefore, this General Plan has focused on maintaining and creating those special
places that bring us togetfier. It is paramount to reinforce the connections between those places
and the community, so that all our residents and visitors can share and enjoy the outdoors and
other activities. - -
Therefore, our Vision includes the following objectives:
■ The City will work to define neighborhoods through the use of open space areas and a trail
system that provides a. source of aesthetic�beauty and recreational opportunities. These open
space areas support a healthy and active community.
• We will continue to protect our critical watersheds, such as Santiago Creek, and other
significant natural and open space resources: .
■ The City will strive to build a comprehensive system of parks, open space, equestrian areas, scenic .
resources, undeveloped natural areas, as well as a full array of recreational, educational,` and
cultural offerings such as libraries, sports, entertainment areas,:and play facilities. �
■ We will develop a connected multi-modal network for traveling from one end of town to the
� other that provides the option for residerits from different neighborfioods to access parks,
open spaces, and scenic areas by vehicle, transit, foot, bicycle or, where appropriate, horse.

Other smaller projects are undergoing City review in these same areas.
Together, these projects represent hundreds of new dwelling units to better
serve the local workforce. New housing in the Urban Mixed Use district are
generally being developed or proposed for development at a density of 60
units/acre. Furthermore, in 2016, the City adopted provisions for the
development of housing in the Public Institutions zone,ancillary to hospitals
or other major medical uses which may facilitate greater opportunities.
These industries are major employers in the City.
The Lemon Grove project (81 affordable units), completed in 2017, was
developer-labeled as workforce housing and is located adj acent to the City's
comprehensive Industrial zoning district. Many of the City's industrial
businesses employ persons without continued education and wages are often
lower than would be necessary to afford market-rate housing. Therefore,
occupants of the Lemon Grove complex may work in the City's industrial
zones,thereby supporting nearby industrial employers.

2016, Chapman University purchased 2.14 acres of surplus land from the
City of Orange adjacent to Panther Village,an existing Chapman University
student housing facility. In 2018, the City did not receive an application
from Chapman University for development of the site with additional
student housing;however there is potential for future student housing on the
site. The City approved parking lot improvements at the site that enable an
increase in the occupancy of the complex by students.

Acquisition and acquisition/rehabilitation projects for several years. With the dissolution of
Rehabilitation of the Orange Redevelopment Agency in 2012, funding was not available to
Multifamily Residential assist these projects. Specifically,in the past the City's Home Improvement
Development Program offered grants and zero percent loans to Low Income owner/occupants
of single-family homes and mobile homes for a number of years. The City
ternunated its Home Improvement Program in FY 2012-13 due to the
eliuunation of the Redevelopment Agency in February 2012 and resulting lack
of funding.The City will not directly fund a City Home Improvement Program
for the foreseeable future. If approached by a qualified nonprofit agency,the
City would consider funding rehabilitation programs contingent on funding
availability.
Policy Action 16- Coordination/ Ongoing In FY 2017-18, the City allocated CDBG funds to one nonprofit agency,
Homeless Services Referral Helping Our Mentally Ill Experience Success,Inc.(HOMES),which provided
supportive housing and services for six mentally ill adults at risk of becoming
homeless. Specifically, CDBG funds went to remodeling of a laundry room
and replacement of fixtures to improve safety,access and water conservation in
the home where the low income, mentally ill, persons at risk of becoming
homeless are living.In FY 2018-19,the City again allocated funds to HOMES
for roof replacement of the home.In addition,in FY 2017-18 and 2018-19 the
City allocated CDBG funds to three nonprofit agencies that provided public
services programs. FY 2018-19 counts are not complete yet but for FY 2017-
18 the number of persons served are as follows:
City of Orange Table D-Page 13 of 19
• The Assistance League of Orange Operation School Bell(assisted 137
, persons);
• Friendly Center,Inc.—Emergency Food,Basic Needs Assistance and
Supplemental Food Programs(assisted 1081 persons);
• Mariposa Women and Family Center — Community Counseling
Program(assisted 720 persons).
Although not specifically designed to assist the homeless, these intervention
programs often help to prevent homelessness.
In 2016,building permits were ministerially approved for the"Citrus Family
Shelter", a 56 bed emergency shelter for homeless families. In 2017, final
building inspection was received and the shelter is successfully in operation.
The approval occurred pursuant to City Council Ordinance No. 06-12,which
was adopted pursuant to Senate Bi112. In 2018,the City worked with the shelter
for operational needs and promoted the shelter via seeking and receiving an
American Planning Association,Orange County Chapter Award. Additionally,

households. OCHA did not receive sufficient HUD funding to achieve the goal
of assisting 483 households.
OCHA also administered the rental assistance component of the Family Self-
Sufficiency(FSS)Program,Family Unification Program(FUP), and Housing
and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing(HLTD-VASI�
Program.
The FSS Program provides rental assistance along with guidance and referrals
to participants for services including child care,job training and placement,
education, transportation, and medical assistance. The Program's goal is to
enable participants to become economically independent. In FY 2017-18, 11
Orange households were FSS Program participants.
FUP provides rental assistance to eligible families whose lack of adequate
housing is a primary factor in the separation or threat of imminent separation of
children from their families. The program also provides rental assistance for up
to 18 months to emancipated youth(18 to 21 year old children that left foster
care at age 16 or older and lack adequate housing). The County Social Services
Agency refers potential FUP participants to OCHA. In FY 2017-18,16 Orange
households were FUP participants.
The HiJD-VASH Pro�am combines rental assistance for homeless veterans
with case management and clinical services. The VA Medical Center in Long
Beach screens and selects veterans for participation in the Program,and refers

Strategies as Triangle Terrace is a 75 unit apartment project located at 555 S. Shaffer
Needed. Street. As recently as 2016, the apartinents were at risk of converting to
market rate units. However, in 2017,the owner secured a 20 year housing
Assistance payxnents contract with H[JD for Section 8 project-based rental
assistance to extend affordability through November 2036. Because the
owner has a 20 year Housing Assistance payments contract with HUD
through November 2036,this project is no longer an at risk project.
Forty(40)units at Casas Del Rio(1740 E.La Veta Avenue)were at risk of
converting in 2017. The owner obtained a new five-year Housing
Assistance Payments (HAP) contract effective October 26, 2017 through

Seventy-five units at Casa Ramon (840 West Walnut) were at risk of
converting.The owner had a multi-year HAP contract with HUD for Section
8 project-based rental assistance that was scheduled to expire in 2020. The
owner requested a new multi-year contract with HUD to extend the contract.
In 2016 the City authorized the issuance of tax exempt bonds and supported
a tax credit application for the project. The owner obtained a new 20-year
HAP contract effective March 1, 2017 through March 1, 2037. The tax
credits require a 55-year affordability terxn for all of the units, which is
secured by recorded covenants.
