<br />Variance No. 2005-63 <br />December 12, 2005 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Orange Housing Development Corporation has completed several successful, <br />similar proj ects in the City, including the Cornerstone Village <br />rehabilitation on Standard Avenue and Minnie Street and the conversion of <br />the Howard Johnson's Motel into a senior apartment complex on East <br />Seventeenth Street. This project, as with the prior projects completed by <br />Orange Housing, will preserve and improve the character and integrity of <br />the surrounding neighborhood through the numerous improvements proposed <br />for the site. The reduction in the overall number of units, in <br />conjunction with the strict occupancy limits, will result in a reduction <br />in the parking demand for the complex. As a result, staff recommends that <br />the Planning Commission approve Variance No. 2005-63 as conditioned <br />(Exhibits 5 and 6) . <br /> <br />CEQA Compliance <br /> <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the <br />recommended action is exempt from further review pursuant to Section <br />15301. This Class 1 exemption allows the repair, maintenance and minor <br />alteration of existing structures with no expansion. Categorical <br />Exemption No. 2005-209 will be filed for this project. <br /> <br />AiM <br /> <br /> <br />ICP <br /> <br />Vince Fre <br />Senior PI <br /> <br />VF:JM <br />vf\reportS\VA05-63.pc <br /> <br />75A-4 <br />
