XIII. APPENDIX C – GIS DIGITAL DATA

Introduction
The OCTA GIS Section maintains a spatial inventory of transportation infrastructure which mostly consists of major arterial streets, roads, and highways. A key component of road information is pavement condition. Maintaining an inventory of pavement condit ion will enhance OCTA’s GIS visualization and analysis capabilities and assist in understanding the transportation investment needs throughout the region. Therefore, a GIS dataset in digital format should be included in this report.

Structure of GIS Data
The GIS dataset must consist of linear geographic features that represent road/street segments. All segments that are part of the report should be included in the GIS dataset. The attribute information of each segment should generally follow the format of the Complete Listing of Current Street Conditions in Appendix B above.

The GIS data requirements are discussed below. Most commercial and open-source GIS software provide industry-standard tools to manage GIS data to meet these requirements.

GIS Digital Data Format
The GIS data must be submitted in either one of the following formats:
• Esri Shapefile, or
• Esri File Geodatabase
Metadata
The GIS data are required to have associated metadata. The minimum metadata items required are:
• Title of Dataset
• Tags (A set of words that can be used by GIS to search for the resource. For example: “pavement”, “transportation”, “roads”)
• Summary (A brief purpose statement of the dataset)
• Description (A brief narrative of the dataset’s content) • Credits (A recognition of those who created or contributed to the resource) Spatial Geometry Type
The spatial geometry of the segment features must be lines that represent the roadway centerline as accurately as possible.

Projection
The GIS data must have spatial reference information and have its coordinate system identified and embedded in or associated with the data file(s). All GIS data submitted to OCTA should be in the following 383
City of Orange, CA Page 15

Final Report – June 3, 2026

projected coordinate system:
• NAD 1983 State Plane California VI FIPS 0406 (US Feet) - More information about this system can be found at: https://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/nad83-california-zone-6-ftus/ GIS Feature Attributes
The required segment attributes are:
• Street name
• Unique segment identifier (Segment ID from original source if available) • Name of intersecting road at the beginning of a segment • Name of intersecting road at the end of the segment
• Current pavement condition index (PCI)
• Current PCI inspection date
• Length of road segment in feet
• Width of road segment in feet
• Paved area of road segment in square feet or square yards • Projected PCI at end of Seven-Year Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Plan Additional attributes such as number of through travel lanes, direction of travel and pavement surface type may be provided.

XIV. APPENDIX D – QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL PLAN

Introduction
When performing data collection in any field, the need for quality control is paramount as it is essential for accurate planning, analysis and design. This is particularly true for collecting pavement distress data for a pavement management program.

The Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan establishes minimum quality standards for performance and procedures for update of the pavement management program.

Objectives
This document constitutes a formal QA/QC Plan for the City of Orange . It was prepared on March, 2018 and last revised in April, 2026.

Specifically, it is intended for the 2026 Pavement Management Plan Update. The focus is on the collection of network-level pavement distress data (defined by National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 401 Quality Management of Pavement Data Collection, as “Network -level data collection involves collection of large quantities of pavement condition data, which is often converted to individual condition indices or aggregated into composite condition indices”.

This document also addresses the QA/QC plan requirements of the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)’s “Countywide Pavement Management Plan Guidelines” (Section 2.4), adopted in April, 2026.

Structure of QA/QC Plan
The following components are addressed in this QA/QC Plan:

• Condition survey procedures used;
• Accuracy required for data collection;
• Inspector qualifications and experience; and
• Safety.

385

Final Report – June 3, 2026

Condition Survey Procedures
The governing document in performing condition surveys for the City of Orange is ASTM D6433 “Standard Practice for Roads and Parking Lots Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Surveys.” Both asphalt concrete (AC) and Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements are included in this protocol. The following distresses are collected for each pavement type:

As required by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), the City of Orange must prepare and implement a quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) plan regarding pavement management inspection as they pertain to MicroPAVER. For the purposes of this report, Bucknam has demonstrated below how our project team implemented QA/QC procedures during the project.

Our QA/QC plan focuses on the how each pavement inspection is performed, what distresses are collected and ensures that it complies with the OCTA guidelines defined within the “Countywide Pavement Management Plan Guidelines (CPMPG)”.

As shown within the OCTA (CPMPG), our staff followed and delivered on the requirements stated within Chapter 2, page 2 -5 which require specific QA/QC data (Items A through G). Additionally, Chapter 3 requires numerous data/deliverables from local agencies for OC Go eligibility. All general PCI budgetary report submittals will follow the Chapter 3 guidelines.

In conjunction with the outlined items within the CPMPG Section 2 we have summarized our Q A/QC procedures below:
386
City of Orange, CA Page 18
2026 Pavement Management Program
Final Report – June 3, 2026

a. Descriptions of condition survey - Our staff follows the required Condition Survey Protocols (CPMPG, Chapter 2); our staff assesses each pavement section for the minimum distresses outlined within Chapter 2, page 2-1. Additionally, based on the pavement conditions found, we collect all MicroPAVER/StreetSaver Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) distresses, if found within the sample sections; for example, if slippage cracking, potholes, etc. are found our survey technicians record the proper information.
b. How data was collected - Our surveys follow the OCTA accepted walking requirements. All sections that our staff surveys are performed through the walking method, approximately 10% of all sections surveyed were complemented with windshield surveys based on unique conditions found. Our staff physically measures the width of every section as well as measure for any square footage adjustment that need to be added or taken away from a sections “true area” (i.e. cul-de- sac, bus pads, street width variances, etc.). Samples taken always include a minimum of 2,500 SF coverage unless specific section limits prohibit this. Arterial section samples utilize a 3,500 SF sample size due to the larger section area (this is within the ASTM D6433 sample size calculation.

Field crews typically include one individual for residential pavement sections while Arterial (MPAH) routes utilize a two-person crew for safety, traffic control and increases quality control. c. Accuracy required for data collection - We use a statistical sampling approach for measuring the quality of our field technician’s work. In this manner, 10 percent of the original surveys are re - surveyed by a different survey crew than the original, supervised by a field supervisor, and the results are compared to the original surveys. Our QC process involves checking the field crews’ work in a “blind study” fashion. Quality control checks are performed at the end of each survey week. This ensures that all field personnel are properly collecting section samples, distress types and distress severities for all street segments.
• When QA/QC issues are found, our staff documents the issues within MicroPAVER’s user interface. If distress types found are not within the 97% accuracy our QA/QC is expanded beyond our minimum 10% resurvey to 20% of the original survey d. Random and Systematic Re-Inspections – As described above our staff re-inspects, as a minimum, 10% of the original survey (OCTA only requires 5%). Per the agencies requests, our staff will submit PCI reports to the agency as project status reports for their review. Agencies will typically review specific pavement sections for PCI accuracy based on recent overlay or slurry seal maintenance; this serves as an initial accuracy check on our surveys (outside Bucknam QC efforts).

Additionally, our staff performs “ride -a-long” surveys with local agency staff to build consensus on how our MicroPAVER/StreetSaver ACOE surveys are performed, recorded and reported on.

Random re-inspections will include a representative selection across the following categories:
• Functional classed (i.e. MPAH, locals);
• Surface types (e.g. AC or PCC);
• Pavement conditions (e.g. good, fair, poor);
• Inspectors;
• Geographical areas, if applicable.
387
City of Orange, CA Page 19
2026 Pavement Management Program
Final Report – June 3, 2026

For systematic re-inspections, this could be due to noticed trends such as specific treatment types (e.g. open -graded mixed), a specific inspector or geographical area. In these cases Bucknam continues to utilize a 10% re-inspection policy.
e. PCI Comparison with Past Surveys - if previous inspection data is available, new PCI’s calculated through the most recent inspections will be compared to previous PCI’s. If the variance in PCI is greater than +/- 10 PCI points, these sections will be flagged for further investigation an d/or re- inspection (In the cases that a PCI increases or decreases by 10 points follows the established CPMPG guidelines; Appendix A, page A-18).
f. Schedule of data submittal – Pending on the City’s last major PMP submittal, Bucknam will assist the agency in submitting the following:
• Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) routes will be surveyed and reported on at least once every two years
• Local streets will be surveyed and reported on every six years • Corresponding MPAH and local PCI reporting and budgetary reporting will be submitted every two years
g. Inspector’s Qualification and Experience – Bucknam staff have been trained on the use of StreetSaver and the segment calibration/verification and inspection practices. Mr. Peter Bucknam (Project Manager) has completed the MicroPAVER Certification of Professional Development courses. All Bucknam field technicians are trained using the ASTM D6433 survey methodologies and have passed OCTA’s prequalification testing every year since 2010. Bucknam Infrastructure Group inspectors have attended formal training on pavement condition distress surveys. This training was conducted prior to performing any work using the ASTM D6433 protocols, consistent with OCTA’s requirements.

Final Report – June 3, 2026

h. Safety procedures – Bucknam field survey techniques utilize the following procedures:
• All vehicles are properly marked or flagged with appropriate sign markings indicating that a “PAVEMENT SURVEY IS IN PROGRESS”
• All vehicles have the proper flashing amber light beacons placed on the top of the vehicle to allow for proper visibility and line-of-site warning • Large MPAH routes are surveyed using two field technicians to increase traffic control warning and safety

263-5703-87101-265125 $38,860
Rapid rectangular flashing beacons (RRFBs) will be installed at four pedestrian crossings adjacent to schools. These locations currently have marked crosswalks: two along ShaƯer Street, one on Walnut Avenue, and one on Rancho Santiago Boulevard. This project will feature, among other things, refurbishing high visibility crosswalk markings, installation of pedestrian activated RRFBs, installation of curb ramps, and related roadway signage.

Providing for RRFBs is expected to make the aƯected school crossings more pedestrian- friendly.

550-5703-87101-265126 $349,920
263-5703-87102-265126 $38,880
The proposed project will install Class II (striped, in roadway) bike lanes with green-painted conflict zones along four diƯerent roadway segments. The Circulation and Mobility Element of the General Plan guides the development of a connected, citywide network of Class I, II, and III bikeways that facilitates commuter and recreational cycling throughout the community. This project will implement planned Class II bike lanes identified in the General Plan, along portions of Glassell Street, Fletcher Street, Main Street, and Canyon View Avenue. The addition of designated bike lanes and green conflict markings are expected to enhance cyclist visibility and comfort, improve connectivity throughout the city, and strengthen regional bicycle access to neighboring communities.

263-5703-87102-265126 $73,480
The City completed a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) in 2023 that evaluated five years of collision data across the City’s roadway network to identify locations where targeted safety improvements could reduce crash risk. Through this analysis, the LRSP identified intersections where enhancements such as enlarging existing 8-inch (diameter) traƯic 405
signal indications to 12-inch indications, and installing yellow retroreflective backplates could improve signal visibility for motorists, particularly during nighttime and low-light conditions. As a result, 28 signalized intersections throughout the city were selected for visibility enhancements, including upgrading to larger signal indication heads, installation of yellow retroreflective backplates, or a combination of both treatments.

Project Number 265128 - Edgeline Striping Installation at Various Locations 550-5703-87101-265128 $267,570
263-5703-87102-265128 $29,730
This project will install striped edgelines (shoulder stripes) along 12 street segments totaling approximately 8.5 miles of roadway within the City. Among other benefits, edgelines can be eƯective traƯic calming features as they tend to narrow the perceived width of the travel lanes. The selected segments consist primarily of two-lane and four- lane undivided roadways, many with wider curbside lanes and on-street parking. The installation of edge lines is expected to better define travel lanes and visually narrow the roadway, which can encourage lower vehicle speeds. Edgelines can be especially beneficial in areas with unmarked curbside parking, as the delineation can encourage more separation between moving and parked vehicles.

Goal 2: Enhance Economic Development Achieve Fiscal Sustainability

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
On May 26, 2026, the City Council voted 6-1-0 to approve Resolution No. 11690 which submits to the voters a question regarding an increase and expansion of the City’sexisting transient occupancy tax (TOT).

In particular, the City Council voted to propose: 1) increasing the TOT rate from 10% to 14% for hotels with 11 rooms more; 2) applying the TOT to online and other travel companies; and 3) applying the TOT to the full rate charged for accommodations.

After adopting the necessary resolutions, staff identified a minor administrative error that requires correction. California Elections Code Section 13119 requires that ballot questions include the language, “Shall the measure (stating nature thereof) be adopted” The ballot question originally approved by the City Council on May 26th stated the following:

“City of Orange Hotel Tax Modification Measure
Shall the City of Orange’s existing Transient Occupancy Tax, a tax on persons occupying hotel rooms, be updated by increasing the tax rate from 10% to 14% for hotels with 11 or more rooms and applying the tax to online and other travel companies, generating approximately $3,000,000 annually for general City purposes including police, fire and emergency response, parks, and street and infrastructure maintenance, until ended by voters?”
To ensure Elections Code 13119 compliance while providing greater clarity on who assumes the tax liability, Resolution No. 11705 makes the following changes to the ballot question:
“City of Orange HotelGuest Tax Modification Measure
Shall the measure updating the City of Orange’sexisting Transient Occupancy Tax, a tax on persons occupying hotel rooms, by updated by increasing the tax rate from 10% to 14% for hotels with 11 or more rooms and applying the tax to online and other travel companies, generating approximately $3,000,000 annually for general City purposes including police, fire and emergency response, parks, and street and infrastructure maintenance, until ended by voters, be adopted?” Additionally, Ordinance No. 09-26 (Proposed) incorporates minor modifications, including authorizing the City Council to modify Orange Municipal Code Chapter 5.16 with the understanding that those changes would not increase the taxes imposed by Ordinance No. 09-26 (Proposed).

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
On May 26, 2026, the City Council voted 6-1-0 to approve Resolution No. 11690 which submits to the voters a question regarding an increase and expansion of the City’sexisting transient occupancy tax (TOT).

In particular, the City Council voted to propose: 1) increasing the TOT rate from 10% to 14% for hotels with 11 rooms more; 2) applying the TOT to online and other travel companies; and 3) applying the TOT to the full rate charged for accommodations.

After adopting the necessary resolutions, staff identified a minor administrative error that requires correction. California Elections Code Section 13119 requires that ballot questions include the language, “Shall the measure (stating nature thereof) be adopted” The ballot question originally approved by the City Council on May 26th stated the following:

“City of Orange Hotel Tax Modification Measure
Shall the City of Orange’s existing Transient Occupancy Tax, a tax on persons occupying hotel rooms, be updated by increasing the tax rate from 10% to 14% for hotels with 11 or more rooms and applying the tax to online and other travel companies, generating approximately $3,000,000 annually for general City purposes including police, fire and emergency response, parks, and street and infrastructure maintenance, until ended by voters?”
To ensure Elections Code 13119 compliance while providing greater clarity on who assumes the tax liability, Resolution No. 11705 makes the following changes to the ballot question:
“City of Orange HotelGuest Tax Modification Measure
Shall the measure updating the City of Orange’sexisting Transient Occupancy Tax, a tax on persons occupying hotel rooms, by updated by increasing the tax rate from 10% to 14% for hotels with 11 or more rooms and applying the tax to online and other travel companies, generating approximately $3,000,000 annually for general City purposes including police, fire and emergency response, parks, and street and infrastructure maintenance, until ended by voters, be adopted?” Additionally, Ordinance No. 09-26 (Proposed) incorporates minor modifications, including authorizing the City Council to modify Orange Municipal Code Chapter 5.16 with the understanding that those changes would not increase the taxes imposed by Ordinance No. 09-26 (Proposed).

D. Interest. In addition to the penalties imposed, any operator who fails to remit any tax imposed by this chapter shall pay interest at the rate of one-half of one percent per month or fraction thereof on the amount of the tax, exclusive of penalties, from the date on which the remittance first became delinquent, until paid.

E. Penalties Merged with Tax. Every penalty imposed and such interest as accrues under the provisions of this section shall become a part of the tax herein required to be paid.

5.16.090. Failure to Collect and Report Tax—Determination of Tax by Tax Administrator.

If any operator fails or refuses to collect the tax and to make, within the time provided in this chapter, any report and remittance of the tax or any portion thereof required by this chapter, the Tax Administrator shall proceed in such manner as he or she may deem best to obtain facts and information on which to base his or her estimate of the tax due. As soon as the Tax Administrator shall procure such facts and information as he or she is able to obtain upon which to base the assessment of any tax imposed by this chapter and payable by any operator who has failed or refused to collect the same and to make such report and remittance, he or she shall proceed to determine and assess against such operator the tax, interest and penalties provided for by this chapter. In case such determination is made, the Tax Administrator shall give a notice of the amount so assessed by serving it personally or by depositing it in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the operator so assessed at his or her last known place of address. Such operator may within 10 days after the serving or mailing of such notice make application in writing to the Tax Administrator for a hearing on the amount assessed, If application by the operator for a hearing is not made within the time prescribed, the tax, interest and penalties, if any, determined by the Tax Administrator shall become final and conclusive and immediately due and payable. If such application is made, the Tax Administrator shall give not less than five days' written notice in the manner prescribed herein to the 418
446826.1 6
operator to show cause at a time and place fixed in the notice why the amount specified therein should not be fixed for such tax, interest and penalties. At such hearing, the operator may appear and offer evidence why such specified tax, interest and penalties should not be so fixed. After such hearing, the Tax Administrator shall determine the proper tax to be remitted and shall thereafter give written notice to the person in the manner prescribed herein of such determination and the amount of such tax, interest and penalties. The amount determined to be due shall be payable after 15 days unless an appeal is taken as provided in Section 5.16.100.

5.16.100. Appeal—Hearing.

Any operator aggrieved by any decision of the Tax Administrator with respect to the amount of such tax, interest and penalties, if any, may appeal to the Council by filing a notice of appeal with the City Clerk within 15 days of the serving or mailing of the determination of tax due. The Council shall fix a time and place for hearing such appeal, and the City Clerk shall give notice in writing to such operator, at his or her last known place of address. The findings of the Council shall be final and conclusive and shall be served upon the appellant in the manner prescribed above for service of notice of hearing. Any amount found to be due shall be immediately due and payable upon the service of notice.

5.16.110. Operator to Keep Records.

It shall be the duty of every operator liable for the collection and payment to the City of any tax imposed by this chapter to keep and preserve, for a period of three years, all records as may be necessary to determine the amount of such tax as he or she may have been liable for the collection of and payment to the City, which records the Tax Administrator shall have the right to inspect at all reasonable times.

5.16.120. Refunds.

A. Whenever the amount of any tax, interest or penalty has been overpaid or paid more than once or has been erroneously or illegally collected or received by the City under this chapter, it may be refunded as provided in subsections B and C of this section provided a claim in writing therefor, stating under penalty of perjury the specific grounds upon which the claim is founded, is filed with the Tax Administrator within three years of the day of payment. The claim shall be on forms furnished by the Tax Administrator.

B. An operator may claim a refund or take as credit against taxes collected and remitted the amount overpaid, paid more than once or erroneously or illegally collected or received when it is established in a manner prescribed by the Tax Administrator that the person from whom the tax has been collected was not a transient; provided, however, that neither a refund nor a credit shall be allowed unless the amount of the tax so collected has either been refunded to the transient or credited to rent subsequently payable by the transient to the operator.

C. A transient may obtain a refund of taxes overpaid or paid more than once or erroneously or illegally collected or received by the City by filing a claim in the manner provided in subsection A of this section, but only when the tax was paid by the transient directly to the Tax Administrator, or when the transient having paid the tax to the operator, establishes to the 419
446826.1 7
satisfaction of the Tax Administrator that the transient has been unable to obtain a refund from the operator who collected the tax.

D. No refund shall be paid under the provisions of this section unless the claimant establishes his or her right thereto by written records showing entitlement thereto.

5.16.130. Actions to Collect.

Any tax required to be paid by any transient under the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed a debt owed by the transient to the City. Any such tax collected by an operator which has not been paid to the City shall be deemed a debt owed by the operator to the City. Any person owing money to the City under the provisions of this chapter shall be liable to an action brought in the name of the City for the recovery of such amount.

5.16.140. Funds Deposited into Special Fund.

The tax collected by the City, imposed under Section 5.16.030, shall be deposited into the general fund. Funds expended for advertising and promotional purposes shall be paid or transferred from the general fund.

SECTION II:

It is the intent of the people that the provisions of this Ordinance are severable and that if any section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, and each section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one (or more) section, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase had been declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION III:

The adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq. and California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15000 et seq. (CEQA Guidelines). The transient occupancy tax increase this Ordinance adopts is a government funding mechanism that does not “involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment,” and thus it is not a project under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4).

SECTION IV:

Pursuant to California Elections Code Section 9222, this ordinance shall take effect only if approved by a majority of the eligible voters of the City of Orange voting at a General Municipal Election to be held on November 3, 2026. It shall be deemed adopted when the City Council has certified the results of that election by resolution and shall take effect ten (10) days thereafter. 420
446826.1 8
SECTION V:

The City Council is authorized to further amend the provisions of Chapter 5.16 adopted by this Ordinance without approval by the City’s voters, unless such an amendment would increase any of the taxes imposed by this Ordinance pursuant to California Government Code Section 53750(h).

SECTION VI:

The Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to attest to the adoption of this Ordinance by the People voting thereon on November 3, 2026, by signing where indicated below.

The foregoing ordinance wasPASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the People of the City of Orange voting on November 3, 2026, which vote was certified by the City Council on this ____ day of ___________________, 2026.

Unoccupied or abandoned properties, both commercial and residential, have been a persistent issue City of Orange Printed on 6/17/2026Page 1 of 5

Item #: 9.1. 6/23/2026 File #: 26-0383
Unoccupied or abandoned properties, both commercial and residential, have been a persistent issue throughout the City of Orange. Unoccupied or abandoned properties are a significant source of blight in residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors, particularly when not properly maintained or secured by property owners. These properties often attract illegal activities such as trespassing, vandalism, criminal and drug activity, fire hazards, and other public safety concerns. They also create nuisance conditions including overgrown vegetation, illegal dumping, litter, graffiti, structural deterioration, and unsecured buildings. Over time, these conditions diminish property values, limit housing and commercial opportunities, deter investment, and adversely impact the City’seconomic development and tax revenue. Prolonged vacancy poses clear risks to the health, safety, and welfare of the community.

The City of Orange currently expends considerable resources responding to complaints and enforcing violations at unoccupied or abandoned properties. Addressing these properties requires coordination among multiple departments and divisions, including Code Enforcement, Police, Fire, Building and Safety, and the City Attorney’sOffice. While Code Enforcement’sprimary role is to issue notices of violation with reasonable compliance timelines, some property owners delay or refuse to comply, resulting in prolonged blight. In such cases, the City must pursue additional enforcement actions, including administrative citations, criminal prosecution, or civil remedies such as receivership or injunctions. These processes are resource-intensive and can take several months to over a year to resolve. In some instances, administrative fines alone are insufficient, as certain property owners treat them as a cost of doing business rather than taking corrective action.

The proposed ordinance places direct responsibility on property owners to proactively maintain and secure unoccupied or abandoned properties. It imposes strict liability on owners and their property managers, reducing reliance on City enforcement and minimizing demands on public resources. By establishing clear standards, accountability measures, and cost recovery mechanisms, the ordinance promotes timely compliance and protects the community from the adverse impacts of vacancy.

The applicability of this proposed ordinance would not apply to certain Unoccupied or Abandoned Properties under the following circumstances:
· Active Construction: Properties with a valid building permit, ongoing construction, inspections at least every three months, and diligent progress toward completion. · Pending Permits, Licenses, or Approvals: Properties where the owner or leaseholder has applied for and is actively pursuing the permits, licenses, or approvals required for lawful occupancy or use.
· Actively Marketed Residential Properties: Vacant residential properties that are continuously listed for sale, lease, or rent and comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws.

In all cases, properties must remain properly maintained and secured to prevent nuisance conditions.

Staff reviewed unoccupied and abandoned property policies and programs to identify potential strategies for addressing these issues. This research identified several effective regulatory models currently implemented by cities throughout California. Several Orange County cities, including Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Stanton, Placentia, Huntington Beach, and Fountain Valley, have adopted ordinances regulating unoccupied, abandoned, distressed, or vacant properties to address property maintenance, security, and blight-related conditions. In May 2026, the City of Westminster adopted a vacant commercial and storefront registration program in response to 17 vacant non-residential properties and 109 vacant commercial storefronts citywide.

Data on Unoccupied or Abandoned Properties in the City:

Code Enforcement has identified approximately over 230 known unoccupied or abandoned properties in the City.

Monitoring and Response Fees
Monitoring and Response Fees shall be imposed when an Unoccupied or Abandoned Property is found to be in violation of one or more provisions of the City Code. Following an inspection, the property owner shall be provided with written notice of the violations and a reasonable period to correct them. If the violations remain uncorrected after the compliance period, the property shall be classified into one of the following categories:

1. Level 1 - Stable Property:

An unoccupied or abandoned property maintained in full compliance with the Orange Municipal Code (OMC) and this chapter. No additional monitoring or response fees apply.

2. Level 2 - At-Risk Property:

An unoccupied or abandoned property with violations of the OMC or this chapter. In addition to any citations, notices, or abatement costs, the property shall be subject to biweekly monitoring by Code Enforcement and a corresponding Monitoring and Response Fee.

3. Level 3 - Problematic Property:

An unoccupied or abandoned property with violations that render it dangerous, unsafe, or an immediate threat to public health, safety, or welfare. In addition to any citations, notices, or abatement costs, the property shall be subject to weekly monitoring by Code Enforcement and a corresponding Monitoring and Response Fee.

If a property’scondition changes, its classification and applicable fees shall be adjusted accordingly.

Property owners may request a reassessment by the Code Enforcement Division.

Appeals
The proposed Ordinance provides that any owner of an Unoccupied or Abandoned Property may appeal the following determinations to a City hearing officer:
· Compliance with maintenance and security standards;
· Imposition of monitoring and response fees;
· Assessment of abatement costs; and
· The Director’sdecision to deny or modify a request for waiver or modification of unoccupied or abandoned property requirements.

Property Rights Retained
Property owners retain the right to keep their properties unoccupied. The proposed ordinance does not require owners to occupy, sell, lease, or develop their properties. Instead, it simply requires that unoccupied or abandoned properties be maintained and secured in accordance with minimum maintenance and security standards for the duration of ownership. The ordinance is intended to protect public health, safety, and neighborhood quality while fully preserving private property rights.

Economic Development Opportunities
Implementation of the Maintenance and Security Standards for Unoccupied or Abandoned Properties Program can support economic development by encouraging property owners to maintain, secure, and improve vacant properties. While these properties may comprise a relatively small portion of the City’s land area, they can depress nearby property values, deter private investment, and constrain housing and commercial opportunities.

By returning unoccupied and abandoned properties to productive use or occupancy, the City can stimulate reinvestment, enhance neighborhood vitality, and increase property and sales tax revenues. City Planning, Building, and Economic Development staff will be available to assist property owners with permitting, redevelopment, and marketing efforts when they are ready to rehabilitate, reuse, or sell their properties.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance to further the City’slong-term economic development objectives and Code Enforcement’s property maintenance objectives.

Item #: 9.1. 6/23/2026 File #: 26-0383
Unoccupied or abandoned properties, both commercial and residential, have been a persistent issue throughout the City of Orange. Unoccupied or abandoned properties are a significant source of blight in residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors, particularly when not properly maintained or secured by property owners. These properties often attract illegal activities such as trespassing, vandalism, criminal and drug activity, fire hazards, and other public safety concerns. They also create nuisance conditions including overgrown vegetation, illegal dumping, litter, graffiti, structural deterioration, and unsecured buildings. Over time, these conditions diminish property values, limit housing and commercial opportunities, deter investment, and adversely impact the City’seconomic development and tax revenue. Prolonged vacancy poses clear risks to the health, safety, and welfare of the community.

The City of Orange currently expends considerable resources responding to complaints and enforcing violations at unoccupied or abandoned properties. Addressing these properties requires coordination among multiple departments and divisions, including Code Enforcement, Police, Fire, Building and Safety, and the City Attorney’sOffice. While Code Enforcement’sprimary role is to issue notices of violation with reasonable compliance timelines, some property owners delay or refuse to comply, resulting in prolonged blight. In such cases, the City must pursue additional enforcement actions, including administrative citations, criminal prosecution, or civil remedies such as receivership or injunctions. These processes are resource-intensive and can take several months to over a year to resolve. In some instances, administrative fines alone are insufficient, as certain property owners treat them as a cost of doing business rather than taking corrective action.

The proposed ordinance places direct responsibility on property owners to proactively maintain and secure unoccupied or abandoned properties. It imposes strict liability on owners and their property managers, reducing reliance on City enforcement and minimizing demands on public resources. By establishing clear standards, accountability measures, and cost recovery mechanisms, the ordinance promotes timely compliance and protects the community from the adverse impacts of vacancy.

The applicability of this proposed ordinance would not apply to certain Unoccupied or Abandoned Properties under the following circumstances:
· Active Construction: Properties with a valid building permit, ongoing construction, inspections at least every three months, and diligent progress toward completion. · Pending Permits, Licenses, or Approvals: Properties where the owner or leaseholder has applied for and is actively pursuing the permits, licenses, or approvals required for lawful occupancy or use.
· Actively Marketed Residential Properties: Vacant residential properties that are continuously listed for sale, lease, or rent and comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws.

In all cases, properties must remain properly maintained and secured to prevent nuisance conditions.

Staff reviewed unoccupied and abandoned property policies and programs to identify potential strategies for addressing these issues. This research identified several effective regulatory models currently implemented by cities throughout California. Several Orange County cities, including Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Stanton, Placentia, Huntington Beach, and Fountain Valley, have adopted ordinances regulating unoccupied, abandoned, distressed, or vacant properties to address property maintenance, security, and blight-related conditions. In May 2026, the City of Westminster adopted a vacant commercial and storefront registration program in response to 17 vacant non-residential properties and 109 vacant commercial storefronts citywide.

Data on Unoccupied or Abandoned Properties in the City:

Code Enforcement has identified approximately over 230 known unoccupied or abandoned properties in the City.

Commercial properties with buildings 36
Commercial lots 8
Commercial storefronts 165
Residential properties with buildings 13
Residential lots 8

Until demolition or repairs are completed, the Owner shall secure the building, structure, and property to prevent unauthorized access.

E. If an Unoccupied or Abandoned Property moves from Stable to At Risk or from At Risk to Problematic, the Monitoring and Response Fees will be set to the higher classification.

Likewise, if an Unoccupied or Abandoned Property moves to a lower classification, the fees will be the lower classification , if any . The Code Enforcement Division of the City will conduct a reassessment of the Unoccupied or Abandoned Property upon request of the Property Owner.

Item #: 9.2. 6/23/2026 File #: 26-0370
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jarad Hildenbrand, City Manager

1. SUBJECT
Second Public Hearing to discuss and consider a draft City Charter

2. SUMMARY
On May 12, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing regarding a draft city charter. During the public hearing, the City Council discussed several policy matters and charter provisions that could be incorporated in the draft charter for further discussion and consideration. These items have been incorporated for City Council and public review. This public hearing serves as the second of the two required public hearings before the City Council can vote to place the draft city charter on the November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election ballot.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Conduct and close the Public Hearing.

2. Review and discuss the draft city charter.

3. Provide direction to City staff.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of a City Charter does not create an immediate fiscal impact; however, charter city status may provide fiscal flexibility related to procurement, contracting, local governance, and municipal affairs.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Adoption of a City Charter could support or affect multiple goals outlined in the Fiscal Years 2025- 2030 Citywide Strategic Plan.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
On May 12, 2026, the City Council conducted the first public hearing regarding a potential city charter ballot measure. As presented on May 12, 2026, the draft city charter includes nine articles that can generally be placed into six categories including:

1. Incorporation of Powers and Municipal Affairs (Articles I and II)

2. Form of Government and City Council Structure (Articles III and IV)

3. Term Limits and Vacancy Procedures (Articles V and VII)

4. Procurement, Contracting, and Local Control (Article VI)

5. City Assets, Public Utilities, and Eminent Domain (Article VI) City of Orange Printed on 6/18/2026Page 1 of 5

Item #: 9.2. 6/23/2026 File #: 26-0370

6. Fiscal Responsibility and Legal Provisions (Articles VIII and IX) After conducting the public hearing, the City Council voted to continue the draft charter discussion at a second public hearing.

Interest has been expressed in the following items:

1. If the draft city charter could address the City’sintent of preserving the Sully-Miller site as open space reserve.

2. If the draft city charter could further clarify that term limits reset with the charter’s adoption.

3. If the City could limit, if not entirely remove, its ability to control the price and/or rent associated with residential real estate transactions.

4. It charter cities can sell its public utility absent voter approval.

5. If ethical violations are sufficient to warrant a temporary suspension pursuant to Article VII.

6. The specific benefits of a city charter.

All six items are discussed in turn. Additional sections and verbiage have been highlighted in the draft charter.

Item 1: Sully-Miller - Open Reserve Protection (Section 204) This additional draft section states that any portion of the Sully-Miller site acquired by the City of Orange for open space purposes will be held in trust by the City. In practice, this means that any City- acquired Sully Miller property will be exclusively used for open space reserve purposes, including open space preservation, passive recreation, habitat restoration, conservation, trails, equestrian uses, educational uses, and other similar non-intensive purposes consistent with the Orange Park Acres Specific Plan. The property shall not be used for residential, commercial, industrial, or other urban development purposes unless approved by the voters pursuant to this section.

Nothing in this section shall prohibit the City from undertaking activities necessary for public safety, environmental remediation, habitat management, utility infrastructure, drainage, flood control, maintenance, or other governmental purposes that are consistent with preserving the property's open space character.

The section further clarifies that these restrictions will run with the land and could only be amended or repealed by Orange voters at a regularly scheduled election.

Item 2: Commencement of Term Limits (Section 503)
As written, the draft charter states the Mayor may serve two, four-year terms, and City Council members may serve three, four-year terms. After reaching these term limits, the draft charter calls for a lifetime ban.

Section 503 confirms that term limits “reset”with the charter’sadoption. This means that any portion of an elected term that started before the charter’seffective date (both years completed and years remaining) do not count towards the term limits detailed in this section.

The term limits, as defined in this section, will only commence when an entirely new term is secured after the charter’s effective date.

Item #: 9.2. 6/23/2026 File #: 26-0370
Item 3: Property Rights Protection Measure (Section 603) Building off the current eminent domain language that protects property owner rights (Section 602), this section states that the City shall not establish, continue, implement, or enforce any price controls when real property (as defined) is sold, leased, rented, exchanged, or otherwise, transferred. Any such restrictions would remain subject to applicable state and federal law.

The proposed section also details six exemptions, which include:

1. Real property with serious health, safety, fire, or building code violations.

2. Real property owned by a public entity, and real property where the owner has agreed to accept a financial contribution from a public entity.

3. Property acquired through eminent domain or any of the City’s zoning or planning authority.

4. The City’s authority to require a business license for the sale or rental of real property.

5. Any dwelling unit subject to the City’s transient occupancy tax.

6. Any obligation of any contract entered prior to the Section’s enactment.

Item 4: Voter Approval Requirement for Public Utility Disposal (Section 605) Pursuant to California Constitution Article XI, Section 5, charter cities possess broad authority over municipal affairs. However, charter authority does not generally supersede applicable state laws governing matters of statewide concern.

California Public Utilities Code section 10061 requires voter approval for certain transfers of municipally owned water and sewer utility assets. In addition, public utility transfers may be subject to other state regulatory requirements, including approvals from agencies with jurisdiction over utility operations or service area changes.

Accordingly, staff does not recommend relying upon charter authority to avoid otherwise applicable noticing, hearing, voter approval, or regulatory requirements relating to the disposition of public utility assets. To reflect this understanding, the revised draft charter includes language under Section 604 clarifying that the City will comply with all applicable noticing, hearing, voter approval, and legal requirements before disposing of a City asset.

Item 5: Temporary Vacancy, Suspension, and Ethical Misconduct (Section 701) Section 701 details the circumstances and processes a City Council can take to suspend an elected or appointed officer. Previously, this section focused on elected or appointed officers facing felony criminal proceedings. This section has since been expanded to clarify that elected or appointed officers may be disqualified when it is authorized by law, and more specifically, that these disqualifications may include criminal convictions, judicial findings of official misconduct, conflict-of- interest violations, or other disqualifying conduct as authorized by law.

Item 6: Charter City Benefits
California law authorizes two legal structures for municipal organizations - general law or charter law.

General law cities draw much of their authority from state statutes. Charter cities derive select authority from a locally adopted charter as authorized in Article XI of the California Constitution.

Cities often pursue charter status to gain greater local control over municipal affairs, particularly in the areas of public contracting, municipal finance, and local governance structures. Charter authority City of Orange Printed on 6/18/2026Page 3 of 5

453
Item #: 9.2. 6/23/2026 File #: 26-0370
the areas of public contracting, municipal finance, and local governance structures. Charter authority can allow a city to tailor policies to local priorities while remaining subject to state law on matters deemed to be a matter of statewide concern. Generally, adopting a city charter may produce the greatest benefits in the following two areas.

Government Structure and Self-Governance
Local Government Design: A charter functions as a city's constitution and codifies who has the authority to approve budgets, administer day-to-day operations, how elections are conducted, as well as the role of elected (e.g., the City Council) and appointed positions (e.g., City Manager and City Attorney). By adopting a city charter, a city could potentially reconfigure the governance structure, thereby shifting responsibilities and/or authority to different positions (e.g., adopting a Mayor-strong structure).

Elections: A charter city may establish its own election rules for local offices, including timing, district configurations, ranked-choice voting, and related procedures, subject to minimum constitutional requirements and state elections code where applicable.

Public Contracting and Prevailing Wage Benefits
Prevailing Wage Exemption on Locally-Funded Projects: The California Supreme Court has held that locally funded public works projects performed by chartered cities are municipal affairs under the California Constitution, and as a result, the wages paid to workers on charter city projects are not subject to California's prevailing wage law if the projects are solely funded with local City dollars (e.g., General Fund).

Public Contracting Flexibility: Charter cities have more leeway on how public contracts are solicited.

This allows a city to tailor its competitive bidding and procurement rules to its local economy and operational needs, rather than rigidly following the state's Public Contract Code, where permitted under charter city authority. Detailed procurement procedures may then be implemented through local ordinances, resolutions, and administrative procedures.

Timeline
California Government Code Sections 34450 through 34462 require that the City hold at least two public hearings before the City Council may vote to place a charter measure on the November 2026 ballot. Additionally, state law requires at least 21 days after the second public hearing before the City Council may take formal action to place the measure on the ballot.

To meet the Orange County Registrar of Voters deadlines for inclusion in the November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election, the City Council must vote to place the city charter ballot measure at the July 14, 2026, City Council meeting. For reference, provided below is the full schedule, including past public hearings:

1. Real property with serious health, safety, fire, or building code violations.

2. Real property owned by a public entity, and real property where the owner has agreed to accept a financial contribution from a public entity.

3. Property acquired through eminent domain or any of the City’s zoning or planning authority.

4. The City’s authority to require a business license for the sale or rental of real property.

5. Any dwelling unit subject to the City’s transient occupancy tax.

6. Any obligation of any contract entered prior to the Section’s enactment.

Item 4: Voter Approval Requirement for Public Utility Disposal (Section 605) Pursuant to California Constitution Article XI, Section 5, charter cities possess broad authority over municipal affairs. However, charter authority does not generally supersede applicable state laws governing matters of statewide concern.

California Public Utilities Code section 10061 requires voter approval for certain transfers of municipally owned water and sewer utility assets. In addition, public utility transfers may be subject to other state regulatory requirements, including approvals from agencies with jurisdiction over utility operations or service area changes.

Accordingly, staff does not recommend relying upon charter authority to avoid otherwise applicable noticing, hearing, voter approval, or regulatory requirements relating to the disposition of public utility assets. To reflect this understanding, the revised draft charter includes language under Section 604 clarifying that the City will comply with all applicable noticing, hearing, voter approval, and legal requirements before disposing of a City asset.

Item 5: Temporary Vacancy, Suspension, and Ethical Misconduct (Section 701) Section 701 details the circumstances and processes a City Council can take to suspend an elected or appointed officer. Previously, this section focused on elected or appointed officers facing felony criminal proceedings. This section has since been expanded to clarify that elected or appointed officers may be disqualified when it is authorized by law, and more specifically, that these disqualifications may include criminal convictions, judicial findings of official misconduct, conflict-of- interest violations, or other disqualifying conduct as authorized by law.

Item 6: Charter City Benefits
California law authorizes two legal structures for municipal organizations - general law or charter law.

General law cities draw much of their authority from state statutes. Charter cities derive select authority from a locally adopted charter as authorized in Article XI of the California Constitution.

Cities often pursue charter status to gain greater local control over municipal affairs, particularly in the areas of public contracting, municipal finance, and local governance structures. Charter authority City of Orange Printed on 6/18/2026Page 3 of 5

the areas of public contracting, municipal finance, and local governance structures. Charter authority can allow a city to tailor policies to local priorities while remaining subject to state law on matters deemed to be a matter of statewide concern. Generally, adopting a city charter may produce the greatest benefits in the following two areas.

Government Structure and Self-Governance
Local Government Design: A charter functions as a city's constitution and codifies who has the authority to approve budgets, administer day-to-day operations, how elections are conducted, as well as the role of elected (e.g., the City Council) and appointed positions (e.g., City Manager and City Attorney). By adopting a city charter, a city could potentially reconfigure the governance structure, thereby shifting responsibilities and/or authority to different positions (e.g., adopting a Mayor-strong structure).

Elections: A charter city may establish its own election rules for local offices, including timing, district configurations, ranked-choice voting, and related procedures, subject to minimum constitutional requirements and state elections code where applicable.

Public Contracting and Prevailing Wage Benefits
Prevailing Wage Exemption on Locally-Funded Projects: The California Supreme Court has held that locally funded public works projects performed by chartered cities are municipal affairs under the California Constitution, and as a result, the wages paid to workers on charter city projects are not subject to California's prevailing wage law if the projects are solely funded with local City dollars (e.g., General Fund).

Public Contracting Flexibility: Charter cities have more leeway on how public contracts are solicited.

This allows a city to tailor its competitive bidding and procurement rules to its local economy and operational needs, rather than rigidly following the state's Public Contract Code, where permitted under charter city authority. Detailed procurement procedures may then be implemented through local ordinances, resolutions, and administrative procedures.

Timeline
California Government Code Sections 34450 through 34462 require that the City hold at least two public hearings before the City Council may vote to place a charter measure on the November 2026 ballot. Additionally, state law requires at least 21 days after the second public hearing before the City Council may take formal action to place the measure on the ballot.

To meet the Orange County Registrar of Voters deadlines for inclusion in the November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election, the City Council must vote to place the city charter ballot measure at the July 14, 2026, City Council meeting. For reference, provided below is the full schedule, including past public hearings:

1. SUBJECT
Progress update regarding the 2025 Design Review Committee (DRC) Ordinance No. 18-25

2. SUMMARY
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 18-25 on October 28, 2025, thereby modifying the duties and responsibilities of the Design Review Committee (DRC), focusing on projects in historic districts, or involving historic structures outside of a district, to streamline the review process and ensure timely decision-making for projects subject to design review.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
None.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 2: Enhance Economic Development and Achieve Fiscal Sustainability Objective 2.2: Improve Design Review Process
Objective 2.12: Update Zoning Ordinance for process clarity and improve efficiency for new businesses

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Ordinance No. 18-25 was adopted on October 28, 2025, and became effective on December 12, 2025. The Ordinance modified the Orange Municipal Code by creating a “Historic Threshold” by which development projects would be evaluated to determine whether a design review application was processed administratively by staff or processed through the Design Review Committee.

The City Council requested on the date of adoption that staff return in six months to report on the impact of Ordinance No. 18-25 as it relates to the timely processing of development projects. Staff is pleased to report that the Ordinance has had two major positive outcomes:

1. Reduction in entitlement processing time; and

2. Marketing a streamlined design review process

469
Item #: 10.1. 6/23/2026 File #: 25-0650
The OMC requires that when more than one type of application is filed for a single project, the application requiring the highest level of approval shall dictate the review process for the entire group of applications (OMC Table 17.08.020 (b)). As such, prior to the adoption of the Ordinance, the Design Review Committee would often be the first public hearing body to review a development project’s entitlement applications.

By focusing the DRC’sreview scope on only those projects that meet the Historic Threshold, the Ordinance today requires Administrative Design Review for all other applications, which eliminates an entire public hearing from the discretionary review process. Projects not subject to discretionary Design Review action by the DRC save approximately six to eight weeks of processing time, when accounting for staff time to prepare staff reports, notifications, and staffing support of the item in a public hearing. As a result, the overall review time for any multi-application entitlement project has been reduced by at least two months, on average, which also translates to an overall reduced cost for entitlement review.

Streamlined Design Review
As a result of the Ordinance, staff now utilize the Administrative Design Review process as a cost and time savings measure applicable to new and existing development applications in the entitlement process. Administrative Design Review is a valuable and reliable tool for staff in discussions with both current and prospective entitlement project applicants. Below is a list of current projects that have benefitted from the streamlined review process of not needing design review conducted by the Design Review Committee (DRC):

1. Melia Homes Small Lot Subdivision (2375 N. Tustin) - 71 residential units

2. Fletcher Small Lot Subdivision (715 W. Fletcher) - 15 residential units

3. Milan Subdivision (6146 E. Santiago Canyon Road) - 30 residential units

4. Dominic Veterinary Building (1012 N Tustin) - New Commercial Building

5. Crunch Fitness Wall Sign (3901 W Metropolitan Drive) - New Tenant Wall Sign

6. Rancho Ridge Planned Unit Development (PUD - 647 N. Rancho Road) - 11 residential units The streamlined process has also reduced the number of DRC meetings, thus reducing staff time devoted to public noticing, report writing, packet preparation, coordinating public hearings with applicants, and preparation of meeting minutes. In summary, the ordinance saves time and cost to the applicant and city staff.

Policies and Procedures for the Business Assistance Façade Program funded through the Community Development Block Grant Program

2. SUMMARY
Consideration of the draft Policies and Procedures for the Business Assistance Façade Program for submission to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 2: Enhance Economic Development and Achieve Fiscal Sustainability

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
On June 24, 2025, the City approved the implementation of a Business Assistance Program through the adoption of the FY2025-2026 Annual Action Plan (AAP), with initial funding of $70,741 of Community Development Block Grant Funds (CDBG). The Annual Action Plan provides a comprehensive summary of the strategies, activities, and federal and non-federal resources allocated each year to address the specific needs and objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan (Con Plan). The Con Plan is a five-year plan completed by the City that establishes the housing and community development priorities, ensuring alignment with the objectives of the CDBG and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs. The Con Plan serves as a strategic framework that enables the City to assess affordable housing and community development needs, evaluate market conditions, and make informed decisions based on data analysis. The 2025-2026 AAP is the first year of the 2025-2029 Con Plan.

Community Development Façade Program
On December 9, 2025, the City approved a Substantial Amendment to the 2025-2026 AAP that proposed establishing a Community Development Façade Program (Façade Program) activity to City of Orange Printed on 6/18/2026Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
473
Item #: 10.2. 6/23/2026 File #: 26-0270
proposed establishing a Community Development Façade Program (Façade Program) activity to provide financial assistance to improve building exteriors visible from the public right-of-way to enhance neighborhood aesthetics and support local economic development. The approved initial funding for the Façade Program was $150,000.

Program Name Proposal
Staff proposes to establish the Supporting Local Investment in Commercial Exteriors (SLICE) Program. The acronym “SLICE” was intentionally selected to reflect the program’s purpose of supporting targeted improvements to commercial properties while creating a recognizable, place- based identity that aligns with the City of Orange. Establishing a clear, memorable program name is intended to support outreach, increase visibility, and encourage participation among local businesses through a clear and recognizable program identity.

Funding Limits
Funding levels and limits have been established to ensure equitable distribution of funds while maximizing the number of businesses served. The SLICE Program is designed to provide façade improvement grants of up to $50,000 per business to eligible for-profit businesses located within low- and moderate-income (LMI) areas. Eligible improvements include exterior rehabilitation, accessibility upgrades, and other visible enhancements that contribute to improved building appearance and public benefit.

The program also includes provisions to allow participation by multi-tenant commercial properties, such as strip malls and shopping centers, recognizing that many small and locally owned businesses operate within these types of commercial settings. Each tenant benefiting from improvements will be treated as an individual assisted business and will be subject to a maximum grant award of $50,000 per tenant. To promote equitable distribution of limited CDBG funds and maximize the number of businesses served, the total grant award for any one multi-tenant commercial property will not exceed $150,000, regardless of the number of businesses assisted. This structure allows multiple small businesses to benefit while preventing a disproportionate share of limited federal funds from being allocated to a single property.

Funding will be provided on a reimbursement basis, with payments issued following verification of completed work in accordance with program requirements. This approach ensures accountability and safeguards the proper and compliant use of public funds.

Business Selection
The program incorporates a competitive application process with a standardized scoring system that evaluates projects based on factors such as LMI area benefit, visibility, business impact, project readiness, and level of private investment. The program prioritizes small and locally owned businesses, particularly those serving neighborhood needs within LMI areas in eligible CDBG areas.

A minimum of 25% match contribution is required to leverage private funding and maximize the impact of CDBG resources. Projects that demonstrate a higher-than-required match contribution will receive additional consideration through the scoring process, further incentivizing private investment and increasing the overall impact of available program funds.

Additionally, program requirements related to cost allocation, cost reasonableness, and limitations on assistance are incorporated to prevent undue private benefit and ensure compliance with federal regulations.

To ensure compliance with CDBG regulations, the program includes requirements related to environmental review, procurement, financial management, duplication of benefits, and ongoing City of Orange Printed on 6/18/2026Page 2 of 4

environmental review, procurement, financial management, duplication of benefits, and ongoing monitoring. The City will maintain documentation demonstrating that all assisted activities meet the Low- and Moderate-Income Area (LMA) National Objective.

Marketing
The City will conduct targeted outreach to ensure broad awareness of the program, including the use of social media, direct business engagement, partnerships with local organizations, and multilingual materials to reach underserved business communities. These efforts are intended to promote equitable access to program resources and ensure participation from a diverse range of local businesses.

Program Administration & Compliance
The SLICE Program is structured to ensure strong fiscal oversight and compliance with federal requirements. All projects will be subject to environmental review prior to the commitment of funds, and no construction may begin until clearance is obtained. Funding will be provided on a reimbursement basis, with payments made directly to contractors upon verification of completed work.

To ensure long-term public benefit, projects receiving more than $25,000 in assistance will be subject to a recorded use restriction. The City will also implement monitoring procedures to verify compliance with program requirements and retains the ability to recapture funds if conditions of the grant agreement are not met.

The proposed program structure is designed to balance accessibility for small businesses with strong federal compliance and fiscal safeguards. By establishing clear funding limits, leveraging private investment, and prioritizing high-impact improvements, the program maximizes the effectiveness of limited CDBG resources while ensuring equitable distribution of funds.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
On June 24, 2025, the City approved the implementation of a Business Assistance Program through the adoption of the FY2025-2026 Annual Action Plan (AAP), with initial funding of $70,741 of Community Development Block Grant Funds (CDBG). The Annual Action Plan provides a comprehensive summary of the strategies, activities, and federal and non-federal resources allocated each year to address the specific needs and objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan (Con Plan). The Con Plan is a five-year plan completed by the City that establishes the housing and community development priorities, ensuring alignment with the objectives of the CDBG and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs. The Con Plan serves as a strategic framework that enables the City to assess affordable housing and community development needs, evaluate market conditions, and make informed decisions based on data analysis. The 2025-2026 AAP is the first year of the 2025-2029 Con Plan.

Community Development Façade Program
On December 9, 2025, the City approved a Substantial Amendment to the 2025-2026 AAP that proposed establishing a Community Development Façade Program (Façade Program) activity to City of Orange Printed on 6/18/2026Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
477
Item #: 10.2. 6/23/2026 File #: 26-0270
proposed establishing a Community Development Façade Program (Façade Program) activity to provide financial assistance to improve building exteriors visible from the public right-of-way to enhance neighborhood aesthetics and support local economic development. The approved initial funding for the Façade Program was $150,000.

Program Name Proposal
Staff proposes to establish the Supporting Local Investment in Commercial Exteriors (SLICE) Program. The acronym “SLICE” was intentionally selected to reflect the program’s purpose of supporting targeted improvements to commercial properties while creating a recognizable, place- based identity that aligns with the City of Orange. Establishing a clear, memorable program name is intended to support outreach, increase visibility, and encourage participation among local businesses through a clear and recognizable program identity.

Funding Limits
Funding levels and limits have been established to ensure equitable distribution of funds while maximizing the number of businesses served. The SLICE Program is designed to provide façade improvement grants of up to $50,000 per business to eligible for-profit businesses located within low- and moderate-income (LMI) areas. Eligible improvements include exterior rehabilitation, accessibility upgrades, and other visible enhancements that contribute to improved building appearance and public benefit.

The program also includes provisions to allow participation by multi-tenant commercial properties, such as strip malls and shopping centers, recognizing that many small and locally owned businesses operate within these types of commercial settings. Each tenant benefiting from improvements will be treated as an individual assisted business and will be subject to a maximum grant award of $50,000 per tenant. To promote equitable distribution of limited CDBG funds and maximize the number of businesses served, the total grant award for any one multi-tenant commercial property will not exceed $150,000, regardless of the number of businesses assisted. This structure allows multiple small businesses to benefit while preventing a disproportionate share of limited federal funds from being allocated to a single property.

Funding will be provided on a reimbursement basis, with payments issued following verification of completed work in accordance with program requirements. This approach ensures accountability and safeguards the proper and compliant use of public funds.

Business Selection
The program incorporates a competitive application process with a standardized scoring system that evaluates projects based on factors such as LMI area benefit, visibility, business impact, project readiness, and level of private investment. The program prioritizes small and locally owned businesses, particularly those serving neighborhood needs within LMI areas in eligible CDBG areas.

A minimum of 25% match contribution is required to leverage private funding and maximize the impact of CDBG resources. Projects that demonstrate a higher-than-required match contribution will receive additional consideration through the scoring process, further incentivizing private investment and increasing the overall impact of available program funds.

Additionally, program requirements related to cost allocation, cost reasonableness, and limitations on assistance are incorporated to prevent undue private benefit and ensure compliance with federal regulations.

environmental review, procurement, financial management, duplication of benefits, and ongoing monitoring. The City will maintain documentation demonstrating that all assisted activities meet the Low- and Moderate-Income Area (LMA) National Objective.

Marketing
The City will conduct targeted outreach to ensure broad awareness of the program, including the use of social media, direct business engagement, partnerships with local organizations, and multilingual materials to reach underserved business communities. These efforts are intended to promote equitable access to program resources and ensure participation from a diverse range of local businesses.

SLICE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

PROGRAM BACKGROUND
The Supporting Local Investment in Commercial Exteriors (SLICE) Program is administered by the City’s Community Development Department and funded through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program in accordance with 24 CFR Part 570.

The SLICE Program supports the revitalization of commercial areas through targeted façade improvements to eligible properties located within areas that meet the Low- and Moderate-Income Area (LMA) National Objective pursuant to 24 CFR 570.208(a)(1).

The program provides financial assistance to commercial property owners and tenants operating for-profit businesses to improve the exterior appearance, functionality, and accessibility of commercial structures. These improvements are intended to enhance the overall condition of commercial areas and support revitalization efforts within surrounding low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.

The SLICE Program is aligned with priorities identified in the City’s 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan, which recognizes economic development and neighborhood revitalization as key community needs. Program activities are designed to advance these priorities while ensuring compliance with all applicable CDBG eligibility and National Objective requirements.

All activities funded under the SLICE Program must demonstrate and document a clear public benefit to residents within the defined LMA service area.

PROGRAM MISSION AND GOALS
MISSION: To revitalize commercial corridors by supporting local businesses in enhancing the appearance, accessibility, and character of their storefronts to foster economic growth, promote community pride, and contribute to the long-term vitality and prosperity of the City.

GOAL: To strengthen the resilience of businesses located in low- and moderate- income areas by providing targeted support for façade improvements that enhance curb appeal, and promote community investment.

DEFINITIONS
LMI (Low- and Moderate-Income): HUD defines an LMI person as a member of a household having an income equal to or less than 80% of the Area Median Family Income (AMI) for the county or metropolitan area, or, for non-metropolitan areas, the statewide non-metro median family income.

LMA (Low- and Moderate-Income Area Benefit): An LMA activity is a CDBG-funded project that benefits all residents in a specific, primarily residential area, where at least Draft
481
Page | 2 SLICE PROGRAM GUIDELINES
51% of the residents are LMI persons.
 Service Area Requirement: The project must serve a defined geographic area, not just specific individuals.
 51% Threshold: The area must generally have a population that is at least 51% LMI, according to HUD-provided data (such as the ACS 5-Year Estimates) or a local income survey.

FUNDING LIMITS
The SLICE Program allocates a portion of the City’s annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funds to support eligible local for-profit businesses through façade improvement grants of up to $50,000 per project. Grant awards are subject to the availability of funds and are intended to assist in the revitalization of commercial properties located within designated low- and moderate-income areas.

FAÇADE ELIGIBILITY
Only exterior improvements that are visible from the public right-of-way or street are eligible for funding under the SLICE Program. Eligible façades include building faces that face public streets, sidewalks, alleys, or other areas accessible to the general public. Improvements on portions of the building not visible from the public right-of-way are not eligible for funding. Interior improvements are not eligible except for limited accessibility improvements directly necessary to complete approved exterior accessibility improvements.

The SLICE program is designed to meet the CDBG Low- and Moderate-Income Area Benefit (LMA) National Objective by targeting façade improvements within eligible census tracts and block groups where at least 51% of residents are considered low and moderate income. Improvements funded through the program are limited to publicly visible exterior enhancements that contribute to the overall appearance, accessibility, safety, and economic success of commercial corridors serving LMI neighborhoods. By improving commercial façade in eligible areas, the program supports neighborhood stabilization, economic activity and growth, and enhances the quality of the public environment and overall neighborhood conditions consistent with HUD CDBG regulations.

USE OF FUNDS
The SLICE program is funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and must comply with all applicable federal and local requirements. Funds may only be used for eligible activities that support façade improvements and corridor revitalization.

Conditions to qualify for these points
Projects must meet the following conditions to be fully considered in the scoring:
 Tenants must be individually eligible and properly documented  Improvements must be visible from the public right-of-way  For multi-tenant properties, cost allocation must be clearly defined  Cost allocation methodology must be defined
 All proposed improvements must align with SLICE activities Tie Breaker Priorities
In the event that two or more applications receive the same final score and insufficient funding is available to award all projects, preference will be given based on the following factors, in the order listed below:
 Provide a higher private match contribution
 Serve a greater number of LMI tenants
 Support small businesses with five (5) or fewer employees  Locally owned and operated businesses
 Demonstrate strong neighborhood serving characteristics If a tie remains after application of the above criteria, the City reserves the right to make funding determinations based on overall program objectives, readiness to proceed, and the extent of demonstrated public benefit. Tie-breaker determinations will be documented in the project file.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City may give additional consideration to projects that:
 Benefit multiple eligible businesses within a single property  Create a concentrated and visible impact within commercial areas serving LMI neighborhoods
 Enhance the overall appearance and accessibility of multiple storefronts For multi-tenant properties, scoring preference will be based on the number of eligible tenant businesses directly benefiting from the improvements, rather than the overall size or cost of the project. Scoring for qualitative criteria will be based on the extent to which the application demonstrates clear, documented, and measurable outcomes aligned with program objectives. The City may require supporting documentation to justify scoring determinations.

TARGET AREA PRIORITIZATION
The SLICE Program is designed to support façade improvements within areas that meet Draft
487
Page | 8 SLICE PROGRAM GUIDELINES
the Low- and Moderate-Income Area (LMA) National Objective, as defined by the most recent U.S. Census data.

While all eligible projects located within LMA-qualified areas may be considered for funding, the City will prioritize projects that demonstrate a high level of public benefit, including but not limited to:
 Strong visibility from the public right-of-way
 Concentration of improvements that contribute to corridor-wide revitalization  Location within areas exhibiting signs of physical deterioration or disinvestment  Projects that enhance pedestrian accessibility and neighborhood-serving commercial activity
The City may identify areas of strategic investment based on community development needs; however, all projects will be evaluated based on established program criteria.

Funding decisions will be made in a manner that is fair, transparent, and consistent with CDBG requirements, with the goal of maximizing the overall impact of available funds. All projects must document compliance with the LMA National Objective and prioritization will be based on the extent to which the proposed improvements advance program goals and community development outcomes.

TARGET AREA REQUIREMENTS
Census tract data is used to identify neighborhoods in the City where there are at least 51% or more residents that have been identified as Low- or Moderate-Income (LMI) households. These identified neighborhoods make up the “target area” of the program.

BUILDING/BUSINESS TYPE REQUIREMENTS
To qualify for the SLICE Program, applicants must own or lease a for-profit commercial property with a façade visible from the public right-of-way located within an area that meets the CDBG LMA National Objective or otherwise demonstrates eligibility under CDBG requirements. Properties must be accessible to the public and have a façade visible from the public right-of-way.

For leased properties, the applicant must provide written notarized authorization from the property owner confirming that the proposed façade improvements are permitted.

Applicant must also provide an executed lease for a minimum of one year.

For properties that are currently vacant, the applicant must secure a commercial tenant within six months of grant approval to remain eligible.

Mixed-use buildings that include both commercial and residential components may qualify; however, grant-funded improvements must be limited exclusively to the commercial portion of the property.

Improvements funded through the SLICE program must be maintained in good condition and consistent with the approved project scope for a minimum period of five years following project completion. The property owner and/or tenant shall not remove or Draft
488
Page | 9 SLICE PROGRAM GUIDELINES
materially alter funded improvements during this period without prior written approval from the City.

If the property is sold, leased to a new tenant, or undergoes a change in use during compliance period, the improvements must continue to meet program requirements.

Failure to maintain the improvements or comply with program requirements may result in repayment of grant funds, in accordance with the City’s recapture provisions.

MATCH CONTRIBUTION REQUIREMENT
A minimum match contribution of 25% of total project costs is required for all SLICE- funded projects. Match contributions must be from non-federal sources and must be documented and verified prior to reimbursement.

For larger projects, the City may require an increased match contribution to ensure appropriate private investment and to mitigate potential undue benefit. All assistance will be limited to the minimum amount necessary to complete the project and achieve program objectives.

A match contribution is the applicant’s required financial investment towards the total project cost. Match funds may include private funds, loans, or other eligible non- federal sources used to complete approved façade improvements.

Match Contribution Example:

Funding Source Amount
SLICE Grant Funds (75%) $50,000.00
Applicant Match Contribution (25%) $16,667
Total Project Cost $66,667
The City may prioritize and award additional points to applications that demonstrate a higher-than-required match contribution. The City reserves the right to establish tiered match requirements based on total project cost.

MULTI-TENANT COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES SELECTION (STRIP MALLS AND

SHOPPING CENTERS)
Commercial properties containing multiple tenant spaces, such as strip malls or shopping centers are eligible for assistance under the SLICE Program, provided that all improvements meet program requirements and are limited to eligible façade and exterior elements that are visible from the public right-of-way. Common area improvements must be clearly attributable to the benefiting tenant spaces and proportionally allocated.

Improvements that primarily benefit the property owner or do not have a direct and documentable benefit to eligible tenant businesses may be deemed ineligible.

For multi-tenant properties, each tenant space benefiting from the improvements will be treated as an individual assisted business for the purposes of eligibility determination, Draft
489
Page | 10 SLICE PROGRAM GUIDELINES
National Objective compliance, and reporting. The City will maintain separate documentation for each tenant to demonstrate compliance with CDBG requirements, including Low- and Moderate-Income Area (LMA) benefit.

Program funds will be allocated to each tenant based on a reasonable and documented cost allocation methodology, such as linear frontage, square footage, or proportional share of the façade improvements. The selected methodology must be clearly documented and maintained in the project file. The City will perform a cost reasonableness analysis for all projects, including review of independent cost estimates, contractor bids, or other pricing documentation, to ensure that all costs are necessary and reasonable in accordance with 2 CFR 200.404.

A property owner may apply on behalf of multiple tenants; however, all benefiting tenants must meet program eligibility requirements and may be required to provide supporting documentation as determined by the City.

The maximum total grant award for any single multi-tenant commercial property shall not exceed $150,000, regardless of the number of businesses assisted. Individual tenant awards remain subject to program funding limits. All improvements must demonstrate a clear public benefit, enhance the visual appearance of the commercial corridor, and be consistent with the program’s National Objective. The City reserves the right to determine eligibility, funding levels, and cost allocations on a case-by-case basis to ensure compliance with all applicable CDBG regulations and to prevent undue private benefit.

The City will ensure that the level of assistance provided does not result in an undue financial benefit to property owners or businesses. Assistance will be limited to the minimum amount necessary to complete the project, and all costs will be evaluated for reasonableness and necessity in accordance with CDBG requirements.

OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Both business owners and commercial property owners are eligible to apply for SLICE Program funding. In cases where the applicant is a tenant, written consent from the property owner is required as part of the application process. If the application is selected for funding, the property owner will be required to provide a notarized letter of authorization and will be included as a party to the grant agreement.

It is required that tenant applicants have a minimum of 12 months remaining on their lease at the time of application or possess a renewal option to ensure project continuity and compliance throughout the grant term.

FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS
SLICE extends assistance to eligible commercial rehabilitation projects under 24 CFR 570.202(a)(3), limited to eligible exterior façade improvements and associated accessibility improvements directly related to the approved façade project. Because the program is funded with federal CDBG funding, all projects must comply with the CDBG program’s National Objective of Low- to moderate-income benefit. The City will maintain Draft

documentation supporting the determination that each assisted business serves the defined service area, including narrative justification and, where applicable, mapping or supporting data.

The City will define and document the service area for each assisted business using reasonable and supportable methods, such as proximity, accessibility, and customer base characteristics. The City will maintain records demonstrating that the service area is primarily residential and that at least 51% of residents are low- and moderate-income, consistent with HUD guidance. Supporting documentation may include narrative justification, mapping, census data, or other relevant documentation, as appropriate.

Projects will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure eligibility with CDBG National Objective. Once a project is approved, applicants and contractors must agree to provide supporting documentation and comply with reporting requirements for a minimum of five years.

FLOOD INSURANCE
In accordance with federal regulations, applicants whose project sites are located within a designated 100-Year Flood Zone are required to maintain active flood insurance coverage in order to be eligible to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Prior to submitting an application, applicants are advised to verify the flood zone status of their project location by visiting the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Map Service Center.

If the project site is determined to be within a flood zone and the application is selected for funding, the applicant will be required to provide proof of current flood insurance coverage as a condition of grant award. Proof of current flood insurance coverage must be provided as a condition of grant award.

OTHER PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

1. Applications will not be accepted for improvements already underway.

2. All work must follow applicable permitting and code requirements, zoning ordinances, and standard engineering practices.

3. Architectural drawings may be required and will be the grantee’s responsibility to obtain. (Costs can be included in 25% Contribution).

4. Davis-Bacon and Related Acts may apply depending on project type, funding structure, and federal requirements. The City will make the final determination regarding the applicability of federal labor standards. Where federal labor standards apply, contractors must comply before work begins, including wage decisions, payroll reporting, and required labor standard clauses.

5. Projects are required to comply with the Copeland Act, the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, and lead-based paint regulations. Lead-based paint requirements will apply where triggered by the scope, building use, age of structure, or impact to residential portion of mixed-used properties.

6. Projects will be submitted for an Environmental Review.  The City will determine the appropriate level of environmental review and maintain the Environmental Review Record prior to commitment of funds.

 All documentation or clarifications requested by City staff.  All applications must be submitted through the City’s portal by the deadline. City staff will provide technical assistance if needed.

APPLICATION REVIEW
All submitted applications will undergo an initial eligibility screening conducted by the Housing Manager to ensure compliance with program requirements. Applications deemed eligible will be forwarded to the SLICE Selection Committee for further evaluation and scoring.

The Scoring Committee (Committee) will consist of three members from various divisions including Economic Development, Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement. The Committee will review applications for completeness and consistency with program requirement guidelines and may request additional information or clarification as needed.

Final funding decisions will be made by the Community Development Director based on Committee recommendations. Approvals must be documented and justified consistent with program objectives and CDBG requirements.

BID AND PRE-CONSTRUCTION
The applicant will work with the City to ensure that all procurement and labor requirements are met in compliance with federal regulations. Procurement will be conducted in accordance with federal procurement standards (2 CFR 200) and the City’s procurement policies.

Invitations for bids, proposals, or solicitations will be publicly advertised through the City’s Public Procurement website. Attendance at pre-bid meetings is required for General Contractors to be eligible to submit a response. Contractors will have a defined period to submit their bids or proposals, which will be publicly opened and reviewed by City staff.

Contractors cannot be promised work prior to completion of the procurement process.

Contractor selection will be based on the applicable procurement method and will consider responsiveness, responsibility, and compliance with project requirements. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids or proposals if there is a sound, documented reason.

All program activities will comply with CDBG conflict of interest requirements under 24 CFR 570.611. The City will make the final determination regarding the applicability of federal labor standards, including Davis-Bacon requirements, for each project.

1. SUBJECT
Adoption of the revised Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan

2. SUMMARY
On November 26, 2024, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan. Beginning in February 2025, staff began providing the City Council quarterly updates, and in February 2026, the City of Orange held a Strategic Planning Session to ensure the Citywide Strategic Plan remains relevant to the community’sneeds. With the City Council adopting the Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 budget on June 9, 2026, staff now recommends the City Council adopt the revised Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt the revised Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
None.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Adopting the Revised Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan supports all six Citywide goals.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
On November 26, 2024, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan (Plan). As a part of the Plan’sadoption, staff committed to providing quarterly updates and holding a Strategic Planning Session (Session) at the beginning of the 2026 calendar year.

To this end, staff presented quarterly updates to the City Council through the 2025 calendar year, and on February 5, 2026, the City Council held a Session at the Orange Main Branch Library and History Center to ensure the Plan is relevant to the Orange Community’s needs.

The Session allowed the community, staff, and the City Council to engage in constructive dialogue that helped frame expectations for the revised Plan as well as the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget.

One of the Session’slast activities was the priority dot exercise where the City Council placed dots on projects/objectives consequential to supporting the Plan’s revised Citywide goals.

Since the Session, staff has used the City Council’sfeedback to help guide the Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 (FY27) budget development process, and with the City Council adopting the FY27 budget on June 9th, staff is placing the revised Plan before the City Council for adoption. The revised Plan incorporates the Mission/Vision/Value and Goal name changes, while narrowing the number of Goal Action Plan objectives to only those selected during the dot exercise.

By removing the more routine objectives, the revised Plan exclusively details longer-term and larger City of Orange Printed on 6/17/2026Page 1 of 2

By removing the more routine objectives, the revised Plan exclusively details longer-term and larger scale priorities, that when accomplished (or where progress is made), will significantly advance the City’s efforts to achieve the six Citywide goals.

Aside from these revisions, staff also removed the “Completion Timeframe” column since many of these projects are long-term or ongoing priorities. Lastly, staff modified the “FundingSource”column to “FundingStatus”column. This change recognizes that many projects (particularly capital projects) are funded through a variety of sources. Therefore, for ease and brevity, the column exclusively focuses on whether a project is funded, partially funded, unfunded, or not applicable.

Collectively, these changes highlight the Orange community’sevolving needs while making the Plan a more focused document that succinctly maps out the City’s path forward.

On behalf of the City of Orange, I am pleased to present the revised Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan (Plan). Initially adopted on November 26, 2024, the Plan included six Citywide community goals and a series of strategic objectives detailed in the Goal Action Plan, helping our community achieve these goals over the next several years.

The Plan is a “living document,” adaptable to a changing environment and community needs. To that end, the City Council held a strategic planning session on February 5, 2026, at the Orange Main Branch Library and History Center. The strategic planning session gave our community the opportunity to reevaluate the Plan to ensure its goals, objectives, and priorities are relevant to our City’s needs. After a productive dialogue with City staff and our community, the City Council voted to modify the Citywide goals and narrow down the specific objectives detailed in the Goal Action Plan. The revised Citywide goals include the following six, with the revised objectives detailed in the Goal Action Plan:

1. Maintain Strong Emergency and Public Safety Services.

2. Enhance Economic Development and Achieve Fiscal Stability.

3. Enhance Quality of Life Through City Services.

4. Improve Employee Retention and Recruitment.

5. Improve Infrastructure, Mobility, and Technology.

6. Ensure the Historic Preservation of Resources.

I would like to thank the Orange City Council, City staff, and our community for taking part in revising the Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan. Personally, I am fortunate enough to have grown up in Orange, and to come back as the Orange City Manager and take part in helping our community achieve these critical goals is a distinct honor and privilege. Together, we will accomplish these goals and secure a better and more prosperous future for Orange.

Respectfully,
Jarad Hildenbrand
City Manager
2 A Message from the City Manager
505
Strategic plans are often the culmination of different, and at times, competing factors. On the one hand, effective strategic plans should identify clear goals and objectives that an agency intends to accomplish over a defined period. On the other hand, strategic plans should be flexible, avoiding a sole focus on the City’s immediate needs. This suggests that effective strategic plans are holistically constructed, reflecting a considered understanding of short- and long-term needs, as well as the changing conditions that often drive the City’s focus and circumstances. To that end, on February 5, 2026, the Orange City Council held a strategic planning session. The purpose of the strategic planning session was to review the Plan and ensure the goals and objectives were still relevant and germane to the Orange community’s needs.

At the conclusion of the strategic planning session (a summary report of the strategic planning session is attached to this Plan as an addendum), the City Council revised the Citywide goals, narrowed the specific objectives detailed in the Goal Action Plan, and modified portions of the Mission/Vision/Value statements.

Collectively, these amendments capture the Orange community’s evolving needs and recognize the external conditions that may change the City’s initial course of action. The revised Plan also lessens the number of objectives listed in the Goal Action Plan. By making this strategic decision, the City Council is removing those items that are more routine in nature. This recognizes that although important, they do not depict the larger-scale and longer-term projects that significantly advance the City’s efforts to achieve the goals identified in the Plan.

In its most basic form, the Plan now focuses on key objectives (i.e., those that received a priority dot) that will help our City achieve its six overarching Community Goals and ultimately ensure the City is a leader in providing the highest level of service in Orange County. Quarterly Plan updates will continue to be provided to the City Council to ensure transparency and accountability. Furthermore, by adopting this revised Plan in June, the forthcoming quarterly updates will run parallel with the City’s fiscal year, acknowledging that the City’s annual budget is interrelated with the goals and objectives set out in this Plan.

The GAP identifies objectives and implementation strategies to advance projects over the next several years. While not an exhaustive list, the GAP represents significant and long-term projects that will benefit the Orange community and help our City accomplish its goals.

The objectives detailed in the GAP include the following information to ensure the City achieves each goal in an orderly fashion.

Table Definitions:

Goal Action Plan
1 Goals - Overarching priorities the City Council identified and were further developed during the Special City Council meetings.

Objective Number - Number to identify a particular objective with the first number aligning with the Goal number (e.g., Goal 2 would start with 2.1). 2 Lead Departments - The primary department(s) responsible for completing the objective. 3 Objective - Brief description of what the respective department(s) would like to achieve. 4 Description and Status - Additional information on what the objective entails and what the respective department(s) has done, or proposes to do, to complete the objective. 5 Funding Status - Identifies if the specific objective has been funded, partially funded, or is unfunded.

If funding is not applicable to the specific objective, then the objective will state, “not applicable.” 6 6509

3 Mary explained that items brought up during the workshop that may require additional thought or discussions would be added to the “bike rack” for future attention. The following item was added to the bike rack during the workshop:
• Additional policy discussions regarding the use of Flock Safety or similar crime-fighting related technology
Icebreaker Exercise
Mary led the Councilmembers in an icebreaker exercise. The purpose of this exercise is to kick off the workshop informally and to learn more about what the Council sees as the future of the organization and community. Each Councilmember was asked to reflect on what they would like to see as headline news about the city of Orange in five years. A summary of the responses is shown below.

Icebreaker Responses by Councilmembers
Councilmember Barrios Orange records first surplus in five years Mayor Slater Orange sets the county standard for fiscal accountability Councilmember Gyllenhammer Orange rated best place in the United States to raise your kids Councilmember Tavoularis Orange opens four new fire stations and hires more police Councilmembers Gutierrez Orange is known for its historical El Modena event Orange brings big-box businesses to our commercial corridor Mayor Pro Tem Bilodeau Orange cuts regulations and lands new businesses and restaurants Councilmember Dumitru Following the Olympics, Orange celebrates a three-year drop in crime and budget surpluses
Effective Councils Within the Context of Strategic Plans Following the icebreaker exercise, Annie Rose engaged the group in a discussion about good governance, teamwork, and attributes of effective councils. The purpose of the discussion was to share perspectives and ideas for effectively serving the community as a team, and to set the foundation for a productive and fulfilling year. It served as a short refresher on good governance practices.

Annie Rose provided an overview of why effective governance is important. She explained that effective Council and City Manager teamwork makes for good policy and solid organization. She reviewed the roles for an effective team as shown below.

Context for Priority Setting
Annie Rose continued by setting the context for priority setting with the philosophy of placing the big rocks (priorities) in the bucket before adding the small rocks (things that come up/less important).1 Through a review of the Councilmember interviews, she shared the themes that arose and the recent accomplishments that were mentioned as shown below.

1 The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. 521
City of Orange

To further set the context for priority setting, Annie Rose reviewed the potential for completing the objectives set tonight with the resources available. Within that, she shared two graphics that reflect how management typically spends their time2 and breakdown of City of Orange positions3 as shown below. This helped illustrate why prioritization is important when resources are limited.

2 Baker Tilly prepared estimates of how management spends their time based on professional experience and knowledge of local government operations.
3 The staff position breakdown was prepared by the City of Orange. 522

5 Strategic Plan Framework
The City of Orange strategic plan is a fundamental component of successful work planning; it presents a clear statement of where the organization is going and how it intends to get there. It reflects the City’s policy and project priorities, informs budgeting and annual staff work plans. The elements of a strategic plan include the organizational foundation of vision and mission statements and values, broad multi-year goals, identified strategies to achieve each goal, and an implementation action plan with milestones, assignments, and dates to use for tracking and reporting progress.

Mission, Vision and Values
A mission statement summarizes why an organization exists and helps the organization respond to change and make decisions. A vision statement is aspirational and expresses an organization’s plan or “vision” for the future, while serving as a guide for an organization’s future goals. The values state the organization’s core beliefs and behaviors.

During the original strategic plan process, a mission statement, vision statement, and values were created and proposed. However, due to time limitations during that process, the Council did not have the opportunity to discuss and weigh in on them. Since that time, a few members of the City’s executive team continued to fine tune the mission statement and vision statement, and the new value “accountability” was added with input from Councilmember Barrios.

At the workshop, the Council was invited to discuss and provide input on the original and proposed mission and vision statements and values. Following a brief discussion, there was Council consensus to retain the original mission statement and use the proposed vision statement as shown below.

Statement Council Consensus
Mission (why we exist) The City of Orange is committed to excellent service for our residents, businesses and visitors.

Vision (where we are going) Orange is a city that celebrates its heritage, strives for high quality service, and prepares for a vibrant future.

The Council requested changes to the value “excellence” as shown in italics below and added the new value “transparency.” In the interest of time, Annie Rose suggested that staff bring proposed value statements for transparency back to Council for consideration. Baker Tilly created a few sample transparency statements to assist staff with this effort.

Value (what we believe in) Statement
Teamwork Working together to achieve common goals.

Excellence Demanding the best from ourselves and others in service to our community.

Accountability We are accountable to the residents and taxpayers of the city of Orange and are committed to holding ourselves, and each other, to the highest moral and ethical standards of conduct and performance excellence.

Transparency Sample value statements (not discussed during the workshop):
• We operate with openness and integrity to ensure our actions, processes, and the use of public resources are visible to the community we serve.
• We recognize that trust is earned through consistent, transparent behavior and our actions are dedicated to building and maintaining that trust.
• We communicate openly and honestly, sharing information to promote clarity, reduce misinformation, and strengthen trust with our community.

6 Established Goals
The City’s Fiscal Year 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan outlines six organizational goals. Annie Rose reviewed the goal statements and asked the Council if modifications were needed. Based on Council feedback, slight changes were made to goals 1 and 2, while goal 3 was restated as shown below in italics.

Goal Statement

1. Maintain Strong Emergency and Public Safety Services

2. Enhance Economic Development and Achieve Fiscal Stability (formerly sustainability)

3. Enhance Quality of Life through City Services (formerly enhance public communication strategy and quality of life)

4. Improve Employee Retention and Recruitment

5. Improve infrastructure, Mobility, and Technology

6. Ensure the Preservation of Historic Resources

Priorities for Fiscal Year 2026-27
There were 117 proposed strategies presented at the workshop for consideration by the Council. During the workshop, Council was invited to seek clarity from staff on the proposed strategies. Following discussions about many of the items, the Council was asked to select their individual top 12 strategies via a “dot” voting exercise. Those strategies with three or more dots were considered as the priorities, which are listed below in order of the number of dots received.

Priorities for Fiscal Year 2026-27 Dots Received

2. SUMMARY
At the May 26, 2026, City Council meeting, the City Council discussed resolution and ordinance documents relating to a 1¢ Sales Tax Measure, Transient Occupancy Tax Measure, and The Contract with Orange. The City Council voted to proceed with the Transient Occupancy Tax Measure at the May 26, 2026, City Council meeting while directing staff to bring back Resolution No. 11689 for further review. Then, at the June 3, 2026, Special City Council meeting, the City Council voted to proceed with the 1¢ Sales Tax Measure. The purpose of this item is to review Resolution No. 11689 and consider changing the original “The Contract with Orange” title.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
At the May 12, 2026, City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to develop The Contract with Orange to reaffirm the City’scommitment to responsible financial stewardship.

1. Preserve Public Safety

2. Independent Oversight Committee

7. Continued Operational Efficiency

8. Economic Vitality Support

9. Measurable Performance Standards
Resolution No. 11689 builds upon the Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan (Plan) and adopted Citywide Financial Management Policies. By coalescing the key tenets of both documents into Resolution No. 11689, the City will be adopting one actionable covenant with the Orange Community that reaffirms the City’scommitment to local control, fiscal sustainability, and exceptional service delivery
On May 26, 2026, the City Council discussed Resolution No. 11689 and ultimately voted to continue the item. However, prior to continuing Resolution No. 11689, the City Council considered language denoting the City’ssupport of vulnerable populations while contemplating changes to The Contract with Orange title.

Staff added draft community support language under Section 8 (highlighted text) and provided below are potential title changes the City Council could consider:

1. The Orange Promise: Local Control and Accountability

2. Rebuild Orange: Local Control and Accountability
Overall, staff recommend the City Council discuss and provide directions on any changes to Resolution No. 11689.

WHEREAS, the Orange City Council has a duty to ethically administer the public’s money and invest into programs that maintain and improve the Orange C ommunity’s quality of life while simultaneously engaging in responsible long- term financial planning, thereby securing a stronger future for our posterity; and

WHEREAS, XXXXXX supplements and supports the City of Orange’s Fiscal Years 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan (Strategic Plan) insofar that it represents an actionable contract that will assist the City achieve the Strategic Plan objectives; and

WHEREAS, to reaffirm the Orange City Council’s commitment to the Orange Community, the City Council adopts XXXXXXX, avowing the City Council’s commitment to local control, fiscal discipline, and measurable results.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Orange that XXXXXXX is hereby adopted, and serves as the Orange City Council’s formal commitment to residents, businesses, and taxpayers that existing or any future increase in local tax revenues authorized by the Orange Community will be managed responsibly, transparently, and with direct public oversight.

The City believes revenue generated by Orange taxpayers should stay in Orange, serve Orange residents, support Orange businesses, and str engthen Orange neighborhoods . This is a commitment to local control, fiscal discipline, and measurable results. This contract ensures taxpayer dollars are protected and used only for the essential priorities as follows:

552
2 SECTION 1. Preserve Public Safety : The City recognizes that our community values public safety and places great trust in the Orange Police Department and Orange City Fire Department. Any existing or new tax revenues authorized by the Orange Community will support police services, fire protection, emergency response readiness, and neighborhood safety programs to help keep residents, businesses, and neighborhoods safe. At the same time, the City will continue reviewing operational practices, including excessive overtime costs, to improve efficiency and ensure taxpayer dollars are used responsibly.

SECTION 2. Independent Oversight Committee: The City believes community trust requires community participation. An Independent Oversight Committee composed of Orange residents, business owners, and community leaders will review and report on expenditures associated with any new tax revenues authorized by the Orange Community. This committee will help ensure funds are spent solely in accordance with XXXXXXX.

SECTION 3. Annual Public Transparency Reports : The City will publish annual accountability reports detailing r evenues collected , expenditures made, p roject status updates , progress toward debt reduction, and m easurable outcomes and performance results . This ensures the public has clear visibility into how taxpayer dollars are spent.

SECTION 4. Infrastructure Improvement Guarantee: Any existing or new t ax revenues authorized by the Orange Community will help maintain and improve roads and streets, sidewalks and public facilities , parks and recreational spaces , neighborhood beautification, and critical public infrastructure. The City commits to fully funding annual road maintenance to protect Orange’s infrastructure and prevent more costly repairs in the future.

SECTION 5. Fiscal Responsibility and Balanced Budgeting : The City will continue to adopt balanced annual budgets, maintain responsible budgeting practices, limit unnecessary debt, and preserve emergency reserve funds to protect Orange during future economic downturns.

Any new revenues authorized by the Orange Community will not replace fiscal discipline, they will strengthen it. No new revenues authorized by the Orange Community shall be used for unrelated purposes or diverted away from the commitments outlined in XXXXXXX. Taxpayer funds must remain aligned with the priorities promised to the residents: public safety, infrastructure, fiscal sustainability, and quality of life.

SECTION 6. Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits Liability Reduction and Long-Term Sustainability: The City will continue to take all concerted efforts to reduce long - term pension liabilities, address Other Post- Employment Benefit (OPEB) obligations, and strengthen the City’s long-range financial position.

While Pension Obligation Bond debt, unfunded pension liabilities, and retiree health obligations may eventually be reduced or paid off, the City must continue planning for future pension cost volatility, CalPERS rate fluctuations, healthcare inflation, and long-term retirement obligations. To ensure continued fiscal stability, the City will establish and maintain a Section 115 Pension Stabilization Trust to help prefund future pension obligations, smooth contribution rate increases, and protect taxpayers from significant market-driven cost spikes.

553
3 The City will also continue to responsibly addres s OPEB liabilities through long -term funding strategies that reduce future burdens on taxpayers and preserve service levels for residents.

Annual budget surpluses, when available, may also be directed toward the Section 115 Trust, pension debt reduction, OPEB liabilities, reserve restoration, and other long- term obligations to improve Orange’s financial sustainability and reduce future fiscal pressures.

The goal is not simply to solve today’s challenges, but to responsibly prepare for tomorrow’s obligations.

SECTION 7. Continued Operational Efficiency : The City will continue scrutinizing staffing levels, service delivery models, and opportunities to use technology to improve efficiency.

The City will continue reviewing revenue performance no less than quarterly and make appropriate budget adjustments when revenues are not meeting projections, ensuring proactive fiscal management rather. The City will continue implementing results -based budgeting, strategic staffing reviews, and operational efficiency measures s o that every taxpayer dollar is prioritized based on community value, measurable outcomes, and long-term sustainability.

SECTION 8. Economic Vitality Support : City investments will support vulnerable populations in our community that need assistance, encourage local economic growth, strengthen commercial districts, support small businesses, and attract responsible development that benefits the entire community. A stronger local economy helps strengthen Orange for future generations.

SECTION 9. Measurable Performance Standards: Additional tax revenues authorized by the Orange Community will be used with clear goals, timelines, and performance metrics to ensure taxpayer dollars produce visible, measurable, and lasting results.

SECTION 10. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book of original Resolutions.

1. SUBJECT
Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 11-26 amending Chapter 10.40 of the Orange Municipal Code pertaining to parking meter zones

2. SUMMARY
Ordinance No. 11-26 is an update to Ordinance No. 02-25, which established the parameters of the paid parking program in Old Towne. The update in Ordinance No.11-26 authorizes the Public Works Director to adjust paid on-street and parking lot parking time limits up to a four-hour maximum, providing greater flexibility to respond quickly to program needs.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Introduce and conduct First Reading of Ordinance No. 11-26. An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Orange amending Chapter 10.40 of the Orange Municipal Code pertaining to parking meter zones.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
None

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 5: Improve Infrastructure, Mobility, and Technology

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The paid parking program was approved by the Orange City Council on January 28, 2025 and began in the City on February 9, 2026. Since the implementation of the program, staff have closely monitored the program and received feedback as people interact with the program. The proposed ordinance revision is intended to improve the effectiveness, flexibility, and user-friendliness of the City’sexisting paid parking program. As the City continues to balance parking availability, customer turnover, and the operational needs of local businesses, staff have identified policy adjustments that will enhance program performance.

The revised ordinance provides the Public Works Director with the administrative authority to adjust posted paid-parking time limits within the paid parking area up to a four-hour maximum. The four- hour limit is based on both survey and verbal feedback from community stakeholders, including downtown merchants. This maximum limit is also within the recommendation for time limits presented in the parking technology implementation plan from Dixon Resources Unlimited. In addition to giving flexibility for visitors to add more time to park in the Old Towne area, the four-hour maximum retains City of Orange Printed on 6/18/2026Page 1 of 2

flexibility for visitors to add more time to park in the Old Towne area, the four-hour maximum retains the intention of the program, which is to create customer turnover in the Old Towne Commercial Core areas and encourage longer term parkers to utilize the free City lots and the parking structure. As parking conditions evolve due to demand, business feedback, neighborhood characteristics, or other factors, the ability to adjust posted time limits will enable the program to respond more dynamically.

Additionally, the increased flexibility will help the City manage the parking program more effectively without requiring an ordinance revision each time fine-tuning of the program is needed.

These changes do not alter established parking rates but allow the program to operate in a more adaptable and customer-oriented manner. Staff believe the revisions will improve the user experience and enhance operational efficiency.
