Keep privacy for current residents. Placing 2 story units only 10 feet behind existing single story homes is not good for anyone. Please reconsider and not allow this project.
The proposed development would not provide the privacy to the existing residents due to only a 10 foot setback. It also does not adhere to the City of Orange's General Plan Land Use to reflect existing design standard and minimize effects of new development on privacy of current neighborhood.
Regarding Agenda # 4.2 for the Dec 6, 2023 meeting, A proposal to construct 49 small lot homes located at 901 E. Katella Ave, why?
I am curious as to why the commission feels this is a good idea. I'm sure the commission is aware of the already frustrating traffic intersection of Katella and Cambridge. Exactly where the 49 units will be placed. Assuming each of the 49 units has 2 cars each, that's 98 cars pouring out onto that already heavily congested intersection. What about the neighborhoods surrounding it? Where will guests park? The concern is the surrounding neighborhoods. I'm sure you've already considered this. If so, then why would you jeopardize the peace and harmony of the neighborhoods surrounding this complex? My conclusion is that peace and harmony are not prime considerations. What is the consideration? Please don't sell out the citizens of Orange. Orange citizens want people that represent and consider what's best for Orange. Is this best? You know the answer. Orange citizens are willing to take a stand for our community, I'm hoping you are too.
Keep Orange the neighborhood we love and cherish. No to building two story towering dense housing in a heavily traffic corner/intersection and behind single story homes.
Attachment 4 of the Dec 6 Design Review committee meeting entitled 'SMALL LOT SUBDIVISION GUIDELINES' under Design Guidelines A states this small lot subdivision should respect adjacent buildings by respecting their scale. This proposed development does not meet those guidelines. Carleton Ave. is a collection of single story homes. The new development, as proposed, are 2 and three story buildings. The 3 story homes are proposed to have roof top patios. This design does not complement existing homes to established size, shape and form. I am not against developing new homes. We need them. I would prefer to have the builder come back to the city of Orange with a design more inline with neighborhood design
