1 - FINDINGS 1. Major Site Plan approval shall be granted if
The site plan conforms to the City Development Standards of the Multiple-
Family Residential (R-3) zone including: lot area, frontage, lot depth,
setbacks, distance between structures, parking, open space, recreational amenities,
storage, fencing,landscaping, utilities, and
trash enclosures.The plan does not comply with the R-3 Development Standards
for density, building height and the number of stories, nor floor area ratio; however,
these items are requested as concessions or incentives for constructing affordable
housing under OMC Section 17.
15 Density Bonus.2. Major Site Plan approval shall be granted if the project provides for
safe and adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation, both
on- and off-site.The site plan provides for the required 25' drive aisle
width for vehicular circulation from the public right-of-way to each of the
parking spaces on-site. The pedestrian and accessible path of travel is also shown on the
site plan from the public right-of-way to
each of the buildings, trash enclosures, and parking area.3. Major Site Plan approval shall
be granted if City
services are available and adequate to serve the project.As discussed in Mitigated
Negative Declaration No. 1795-07, the City of Orange Fire Department,
Police Department, Public Works, and Library Services have stated that they have adequate facilities
to provide services for the proposed project. In addition to the recreational amenities that
are provided on-site, the applicant plans to pay the
park in-lieu fees to off-set the estimated 177-person increase on population.4. Major
Site Plan approval shall be granted if
the project has been designed to fully mitigate or substantially
minimize adverse environmental effects.Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1795-07 was
prepared to analyze the environmental impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act
and City of Orange Local Guidelines. It was determined that there are
no
potentially significant environmental impacts as a result of the proposed project, after mitigation
is implemented.5. The City of Orange has made required
findings pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act as set forth in Section 2 below.6.
The data and analysis upon which these findings of fact are based, including those in Section 2
of this Resolution, are set forth in the staff report for

that Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 1795-07 contains an adequate assessment
of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. Based on substantial evidence
contained in the record, the City Council finds that there are no potentially
significant adverse environmental impacts and there is no effect on fish and wildlife. Therefore, the City
Council approves and adopts Mitigated Negative
Declaration No. 1795-07.SECTION
