RES-9205 General Plan Amendment No. 1-00RESOLUTION NO. 9205
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ORANGE UPHOLDING THE
RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION AND APPROVING THE GENERAL
PLAN RECLASSIFICATION OF PROPERTY
GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE
OF EAST CULVER AVENUE BETWEEN
SHAFFER STREET AND CAMBRIDGE STREET
FROM LOW-MEDIUM DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL TO LOW-
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.General Plan Amendment
No. 1-00 Applicant:
City
of Orange RECITALS:After report thereon by the Planning Commission and after due public
hearing by the Planning Commission on December 20, 1999, as required by law, the City
Council of the City of Orange considered a recommendation of the Planning Commission of
the City of Orange recommending by Resolution No. PC 79-99 that the property
situated on the south side of East Culver Avenue, between Shaffer Street and Cambridge
Street, be reclassified in the Land Use Element of the General Plan from
the Low-Medium Density Residential LMDR") to the Low-Density
Residential (nLDR") designation. After finding and determining the hereinafter described facts, the
City Council determined that the project couid not have a significant effect on the
environment, a Negative Declaration should be adopted, and that General Plan Amendment 1-
00 should be approved, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The real property
which is the subject of General Plan Amendment 1-00 is generally depicted on
the map attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by this reference as though fully
set forth herein and shall be
referred to hen:in as the "subject property".During its public hearing, the City
Council found
the facts more particularly set forth as follows:I. In 1993, the City rezoned the subject
property from R-I-6 to R-2-6 and amended the
Land Use Element
of the General Plan from Low-Density Residential to Low-Medium Density
Residential.2. The development potential of the subject property under the current zoning designation
ofR-2-6
3. The Historic Preservation Element of the General Plan for the City of Orange
provides, among its objectives and policies, for the protection of the integrity of the
neighborhoods, including their pedestrian scale and historic image. The proposed
Low-Density Residential classification for the Land Use Element of the General
Plan will provide a balance between the City's interests under its Historic
Preservation Element and its obligation to provide adequate housing
opportunities.4. In light of the mitigation measures adopted by the City Council at the time of
its adoption of the General Plan amendment and zone change in 1993, the
Planning Commission has recommended, and the City Council concurs, that the
subject property is more properly classified as R-I-6 due in large part to
the unusually large lots with numerous historic homes located on the street and the
potential of duplex development to destroy the historical
significance ofthe area.5. In order to rezone the subject property from R-2-6
to R-I-6, a General Plan Amendment is first necessary to
make the zoning consistent
with the Low-Density Residential General Plan designation.6. The land uses and zoning surrounding
the subject property are as follows: to the northwest -- Duplex Residential,
R-2-6; to the northeast -- Single-Family Residential,R-I-6; to
the east -- Single-Family Residential, R-I-6; to
the south -- Duplex Residential, R-2-6; to the west -- Duplex Residential, R-2-
6.7. The proposed General Plan Amendment could
not have a significant effect on the environment and a Negative Declaration should
be adopted.NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Orange as follows:I.
That the foregoing recitals are true and correct.2. That Negative Declaration 1614-
99 be adopted.3. That the recommendation of the Planning
Commission be upheld and that General Plan Amendment 1-00
redesignating the subject property generally depicted on Exhibit "A" attached hereto as Low-
Density Residential ("LDR") be approved
because the amendment is in the public interest and the proposed designation
is compatible with surrounding land uses.4. The redesignation of the subject property to
Low-Density Residential shall become effective thirty (30) days from and after the date of adoption
of this Resolution.5. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to (a)
make copies of this
adoption, and (b) furnish to any person making a request for a copy of the adopted
documents amending the General Plan within two (2) working days after receipt of a
request therefor accompanied by payment for the reasonable cost of copying.
ADOPTED this 11th day of January, 2000.
