ĐISF → ORANGE INTERNATIONAL STREET FAIR, INC.

October 31, 2024
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council,
The Orange International Street Fair Inc. (OISF) respectfully requests permission to hold the 53rd annual Orange International Street Fair in the Old Towne Plaza District from August 29 through August 31, 2025. The OISF will use the public parking lots in the 100 block of S. Orange St. (behind the Army Navy store) and the 100 block of S. Olive St. (between Chapman and Almond). These lots will be used for OISF operations, vending, sponsor supply trucks, and City Support Services.

We request permission to close the event grounds at 2 a.m. Thursday, August 28, 2025, to allow adequate time for event setup.

Our event supports over 50 community organizations, enabling them to operate various community service programs annually. Our Board and Committee are comprised of volunteers who donate hundreds of hours each year to ensure the success of this event.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank the City Council for its generous support over the last 52 years. With this support, a highly successful event is possible year after year.

Sincerely,
Adam Feliz
President
Orange International Street Fair, Inc.

RE: Parking Request for Boutique Noel 2025 - Assistance League of Orange Dear Honorable Mayor and Council Members:

Assistance League of Orange is requesting dedicated street parking Sunday, October 5 through Saturday, October 11, 2025. We will be holding our 31" Annual Holiday Boutique Noel on October 8-11 in 2025. Approximately 20 vendors will set up their merchandise at our Chapter Center on October 5 and 6 and return daily during the event to re-stock their booths. Boutique Noel draws around 2,000 people who shop our boutique, as well as enjoy dining and shopping in downtown Orange.

For many years, the City of Orange has graciously provided us with dedicated parking for our vendors along South Orange Street, thereby reducing the impact on parking in the lots at 100 South Orange Street and the parking lot south of Chapman Avenue between Grand and Orange Streets.

This dedicated street parking for "Boutique Noel Vendors Only" has freed up city parking lots for use by local shoppers and patrons.

We respectfully request the City's support in providing us with dedicated "Vendor Only Parking" on South Orange Street adjacent to the 100 S. Orange Street lot, between the two driveways, and one space in front of our entry door at 124 S. Orange Street. We also request four (4) spaces in the northeast corner of the same lot directly beside our building.

Boutique Noel is a fundraising effort and community outreach opportunity. Proceeds from the event support the sixteen philanthropic programs organized by Assistance league of Orange. We thank the Mayor and City Council of Orange for their ongoing support of our community programs and the fundraising efforts that finance them.

Sincerely,
dalibone

On the weekend of May 23-25, 2025, Chapman University will be holding its annual Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises at the Orange main campus. We are expecting approximately 10,000 guests over the three days for the various ceremonies.

Although we provide extensive instruction and ample parking, many first time visitors may inadvertently park on a street that requires a permit adjacent to the residence life area. For that reason, we are submitting our traditional request, asking that the parking permit requirement be lifted from Friday, May 23 through Sunday, May 25, 2025.
dditionallv. we would like to request a suspension for Move in Day on Tuesday, August 19 and Wednesda ugust 20, 2025, for similar reasons
Thank you, as always, for your help and support.

Respectfully,

Staff At City of Orange
RE: Public Property use for Special Event - North Cypress Street, Orange City Staff,
In partnership with Chapman Crafted, the Rotary Club of Orange is requesting the closure and use of a public street in conjunction with a special event. The Rotary Club of Orange is hosting the 2nd Annual Old Towne Orange Chili Cook Off on June 21, 2025 from 6am to 6pm. We are excited about hosting this event as last years event was a huge success for both the Rotary Club of Orange and our local community.

Chapman Crafted is located at 123 N. Cypress Street in Old Towne Orange, and the proposed street closure would be on N. Cypress Street from West Chapman Ave to about 2/3rds of the way north on Cypress towards Maple Ave, just passed Fix Auto Shop of Orange. We have verbal agreements with the businesses located on N.

Cypress Street and are assured the Saturday street closure will not affect daily operations of the businesses.

As for past events, Chapman Crafted is able to extend normal operations from the California Alcoholic Beverage Control to allow attendees access to the enclosed area on N. Cypress Street. We will be launching a special beer and coffee in conjunction with the event, and will pour our locally made beer (21 & over) and coffee to attendees of the event.

All alcoholic beverages will be poured in distinctive plastic cups to attendees wearing wristbands that have been ID checked by a certified Responsible Beverage Licensee upon entrance. Food will be served from licensed food trucks and approved food vendors in conjunction with the Orange County Health Department as Chapman Crafted is a licensed host facility. All Chili Cooks are required to abide by the Orange County Health Department guidelines.

The 2nd Annual Old Towne Orange Chili Cook Off expects around 20 Chili Cooks and 10-15 Local Restaurant Cooks, and to draw around 1000 people over the course of the event. We will have ample staff, hired private security, professional clean up crew for all public areas, and volunteers to control the flow of the attendees entering and exiting the premises, and to maintain a comfortable capacity within the entire area.

Please contact our Event Coordinator, Jennifer Gonzalez, with any questions regarding the event at [email protected] or (714) 403-9432.

Thank you for your consideration of this use.

Sincerely yours,
Jennifer Gonzalez

Hello Aaron,
I know you're not in charge of the May Parade anymore but I remember you mentioning that the organizors have an agreement with the City of Orange for the May Parade? If so do I need to add them to the yearly plaza/street closures if they have an agreement with the City?
