3. NEW HEARING:
3.1 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 2014 -0001
General Plan Amendment 2014 -0001 involves an accuracy review of the City of Orange
2010 General Plan. Since adoption of the General Plan, a variety of City capital projects
and plan updates anticipated in the General Plan have been completed. In addition, there
have been changes in some of the outside agencies involved with the provision of City
services, as well as the policy documents administered by regional and state agencies. The
proposed revisions involve text and graphic updates and limited non - substantive changes
to City policies identified in the General Plan. The affected General Plan Elements
include: Land Use, Circulation and Mobility, Natural Resources, Noise, Cultural
Resources & Historic Preservation, Infrastructure, and Economic Development.
LOCATION: CITYWIDE
NOTE: Final Program Environmental Impact Report 1815 -09 for the
Comprehensive General Plan Update was certified on March 9,
2010 and prepared in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act. The proposed text and graphic
revisions are not substantive and merely reflect actions related to
General Plan implementation, accurate references to outside
agencies and related policy documents, current City and inter-
agency practices, and dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency.
As such, the proposed GPA makes corrections to the General Plan,
making the General Plan content consistent with the technical
analysis provided in the EIR.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Planning Commission Resolution 25 -15 recommending
that the City Council approve General Plan Amendment 2014-
0001 amending the Orange General Plan including text and
graphic updates and limited changes to City policies for document
accuracy.
Discussion: Anna Pehoushek Acting Assistant Community Development Director,
presented a project overview consistent with the staff report. She reviewed the General
Plan Elements which were being amended. Ms. Pehoushek mentioned that Figure NR4,
in the Commissioners' packets, was the old version and she distributed to them a
corrected version.
The Commission noted corrections needed on Page ED4 and ED22, which entailed
removing the reference to the Orange Redevelopment Agency.
The Commission made suggestions for staff to implement before the amendment moved
forward to the City Council. Those included providing an index as to where to find the
