reference.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Orange approves General Plan Amendment No. 2014 -02 as shown in Attachment B,
attached hereto and incorporated by this reference and based on the following findings:
In 1973, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3915, which adopted the
Orange Park Acres Specific Plan ( "OPA Plan") as "part of the required land
use element to be included in a General Plan for the City of Orange." Since
the adoption of the OPA Plan, the Salem Lutheran Church and School site has
been used and designated as "Public /Quasi - public" in the OPA Plan. Despite
the fact that no amendment to the OPA Plan took place, a land use map
originally adopted by City as part of a City -wide 1989 General Plan update
designated the Site as "Estate Low Density Residential."
2. The applicant is requesting a General Plan amendment to change the land use
designation for the Site from Estate Low Density Residential to Public
Facilities and Institutions (PFI), in order to make such designation consistent
with its use and designation in the OPA Plan.
3. The City Council finds that the designation of the Site as "Public Facilities
and Institutions (PFI)" on the General Plan land use map is consistent with the
site's longstanding and controlling use and designation in the OPA Plan as
Public /Quasi - Public," and accordingly recommends approval of the proposed
General Plan Amendment.
ADOPTED this l O day of March, 2015.
