3.17. Second Reading and adoption of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Orange amending Title 17 of the Orange Municipal Code to allow Single-Room Occupancy housing as a permitted use in certain zoning districts and related definitions and development standards. Ordinance No. 11-25.
I'm in support of the adoption of an Ordinance amending Title 17 of the Orange Municipal Code to allow Single-Room Occupancy housing in certain zoning districts. The 7 identified motel and 22 small business properties would be an excellent use of those properties to meet affordable housing needs of the community for low and very low income households. These properties are already built with adequate parking, resulting in lower building costs and in some cases fewer police calls, as well as limiting impact on our critical open space, while serving an important need of our community.
