RE: Parking Request for Boutique Noel 2026 - Assistance League of Orange Dear Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
Assistance League of Orange is requesting dedicated street parking Sunday, October 4, through Saturday, October 10, 2026. We will be holding our 32d Annual Holiday Boutique Noel on October 7-10 in 2026. Approximately 20 vendors will set up their merchandise at our Chapter Center on October 3 and 4 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,
Ida J. Rooney

RE: Public Property use for Special Event - North Cypress Street, Orange City Staff & City Council Members:
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 3rd Annual Old Towne Orange Chili Cook Off on Saturday June 20,, 2026 from 6am to 6pm. We are excited about hosting this event as last year's 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 Maple Avenue. 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 pour our locally made beer (21 & over) 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 3rd Annual Old Towne Orange Chili Cook Off expects around 25 Chili Cooks and 10 Local Restaurant Cooks, and to draw around 2500 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 safe, comfortable capacity within the entire area.
Please contact our Event C.nnrinator lennifer Gonzalez, with any questions regarding the event at s
Thank you for your consideration of this use.
Sincerely yours,
Jennifer Gonzalez
