As the City's public infrastructure provides for the safe and expeditious movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic; the means for the distribution and delivery of goods and services; and for the circulation and accessibility to buildings, structures and properties for fire, police and public service vehicles and personnel, the City Council has determined that each property within the City, as a beneficiary of the public infrastructure, must also share in the responsibility for the development and extension of that infrastructure. This accommodation shall be achieved through the dedication, in fee simple or easement, and/or improvement to prescribed standards, of public and private property for the public use as streets and highways, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, drainage facilities, driveways, street lights and street trees, and for public utility purposes, and the City Council has determined that they may forbid the erection, construction, enlargement, repair or improvement of buildings or structures unless, when required within the dictates of this chapter, property and/or improvements for the development or extension of the City's public infrastructure are provided.
(Ord. 16-00)
A. 
On any property abutting an existing or proposed street(s) no building permit or other applicable City approval shall be issued, for the erection, construction, enlargement or change of use of any building, structure or facility, nor for any alteration or repair, that will burden the adjacent public infrastructure until the owner of the lot on which such work is proposed, first dedicates for public use (unless such dedication has previously been made in total) that street right-of-way commensurate with one or more of the requirements of the following street classifications or special conditions:
1. 
Arterial Highway. As identified by Section 12.52.022 Arterial Streets of the Orange Municipal Code and described by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways as contained in the Circulation and Mobility Element of the General Plan of the City of Orange as adopted on March 9, 2010 and as subsequently amended; or
2. 
Hillside. An arterial or local street that is topographically restricted may qualify for reduced street right-of-way dedication as defined in the City of Orange Department of Public Works–Standard Plans and Specifications, current edition; or
3. 
Street Width Exceptions. Those streets or street sections thereof identified in Section 12.52.024 Street Width Exceptions; or
4. 
Critical Intersections. Those streets constituting the legs of a critical intersection as identified in Section 12.52.026 Critical Intersections; or
5. 
Collector Streets. Streets not classified as arterial streets are therefore designated as local streets, and shall have a minimum street right-of-way dedication requirement of 60 feet; or
6. 
Americans with Disabilities Act. Special requirements as determined by the Director of Public Works necessary to comply with regulations concerning handicapped persons as imposed by the State of California; and
7. 
Corner Cut Offs. Each corner of an intersection dedication of sufficient street right-of-way shall be required, as defined in the Department of Public Works–Standard Plans and Specifications–Corner Cut Offs, to provide a minimum curb return with a radius of not less than 32 feet. The Director of Public Works may, to accommodate certain traffic requirements or theme development standards, increase or decrease the requirements stated in this paragraph to not less than the right-of-way necessary to accommodate a 25 foot radius curb return or not greater than a 50 foot radius curb return.
B. 
Unless otherwise specified in Section 12.52.024 Street Width Exceptions, or in special topographic conditions as defined by Department of Public Works–Standard Plans and Specifications, or in relation to a critical intersection as defined in Section 12.52.026 Critical Intersections, right-of-way shall be equal and symmetrical from both sides of the centerline of a respective street.
C. 
The provisions of this or succeeding sections do not preclude the possible requirement by the Director of Public Works for additional street dedication necessary to implement street realignments, special traffic operations enhancements or safety related design features such as bus bays, turn lanes, parking bays, sight distance clearance zones, etc., although such features may not be specifically identified or required in conjunction with sections in this chapter.

D. 
The proposed sidewalk width shall be a minimum of eight feet, existing width prior to relocation or per the available City standard plans and specifications. The City shall make the final determination. The proposed corner cut-off shall be per the City Standard Plan No. 120.
(Ord. 16-00; Ord. 8-13, 2013)
A. 
Any owner, lessee or agent thereof who performs or causes to be performed work involving the erection, construction, enlargement or change of use of any building, structure or facility or causes alterations or repairs that will burden the adjacent public infrastructure shall make the following improvements:
1. 
Sidewalks or repair or replacement of existing sidewalks that are broken or deteriorated; and
2. 
Curbs and gutters or repair or replacement of existing curbs and gutters that are broken or deteriorated; and
3. 
Roadway pavement; and
4. 
Driveway approaches, including repair or replacement of existing driveway approaches that are broken or deteriorated and removal of abandoned driveway approaches and replacement with standard curb, gutter and sidewalks; and
5. 
Necessary drainage facilities; and
6. 
Street trees or replacement of existing street trees as determined by the Superintendent of Street Trees; and
7. 
Underground-serviced street lighting system dedicated to the City, as approved by the City Traffic Engineer.
B. 
Other provisions of this section notwithstanding, the Director of Public Works may require that sidewalks, curbs and gutters or driveway approaches determined to be broken or deteriorated shall be repaired or replaced, or appropriate bond posted, before the issuance of a building permit for structural construction, repairs or modification including patios, spas and swimming pools. Building or other construction permits to replace or repair roofs or to install only fixtures, such as air and water heaters and air conditioning units, are specifically exempted from the requirement of this paragraph.
(Ord. 16-00)
A. 
All public infrastructure improvements required under Section 12.52.030 shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the standards of the Department of Public Works of the City of Orange. The Director of Public Works may require that plans be prepared by a registered civil engineer showing line and grade of the public improvements required to be constructed by Section 12.52.030.
B. 
The public infrastructure improvements required under Section 12.52.030 shall be completed within the time specified by the Director of Public Works, including any extensions approved in writing by the Director of Public Works.
C. 
Final building inspection shall not be authorized nor final release of utilities issued until the requirements of this section have been met to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works.
(Ord. 16-00)
A. 
The cost of public infrastructure improvements required by Section 12.52.030 shall be estimated in writing by the Director of Public Works and the cost of same shall be secured by a form of improvement security to be posted by the owner, lessee or agent of the property, prior to the issuance of the building permit or other applicable City approval. The security shall be equal to the total estimated cost of the improvement plus 15% to cover the cost of engineering and inspection. Said improvement security may be cash, surety bond or such other form of instrument authorized by law and approved in advance for such purpose by the Director of Public Works and the City Attorney.
B. 
If the required public infrastructure improvements are not done or completed within the time specified, the Director of Public Works is hereby authorized to have the required improvements done and completed and to use any funds posted as security for said improvements to reimburse the City for the costs of completing the work. In the event that a surety bond is posted to guarantee construction, the Director of Public Works shall cause the necessary steps to be taken to recover the funds from the individual or company which serves as surety to reimburse the City for the costs of completing the improvements.
(Ord. 16-00)
Normally, the owner, lessee or agent of the property will post the required security for the public infrastructure improvements, obtain the building permit and then proceed with making the improvements as the construction project for which the building permit was issued progresses. When the construction project is completed and the improvements are done and accepted by the City, the security is then released. There is an exception to this procedure, however, which requires full payment of the estimated cost of the improvements instead.
The Director of Public Works may require full payment of the estimated cost of the public infrastructure improvements when he or she has determined that the safe and orderly development of the adjacent street can be accomplished best when the public infrastructure improvements for more than just one lot are made or when allowing individual owners to make the public infrastructure improvements as single lots are developed may create unsafe traffic, drainage or other problems.
In that case, the owner, lessee or agent of the property shall make full payment of the estimated cost of the improvements to the City, which payment shall be maintained in a separate fund. When the improvements can be made safely, the City will cause the improvements to be made, financed in whole or in part with the money received from the various owners who have contributed to that fund. When an owner, lessee or agent of the property pays the estimated cost of improvements in full, he or she, his/her heirs, assigns and successors in interest to the property shall not be required to make additional payments to accomplish the same improvements.
(Ord. 16-00)
A. 
The owner, lessee or agent of the property may request in writing to the Director of Public Works that the requirements for dedication and improvements as provided in this chapter be excepted entirely or suspended in whole or in part. Such written request shall set forth the reasons why enforcement of the requirements for dedication or improvements would be impractical or impossible or cause extreme and undue hardship upon the owner, and shall be based upon in-depth technical analysis pursuant to sound engineering principles, which analysis demonstrates that said provisions may be reduced or eliminated. The Director of Public Works shall notify the owner of his or her decision within 10 working days after receipt of the written request.
B. 
If the Director of Public Works denies the owner, lessee or agent's request for exception or suspension of the requirements of this chapter, the owner, lessee or agent may appeal that decision to the Planning Commission or City Council, as appropriate for the project.
C. 
When the Director of Public Works finds that a street upon or adjacent to which the required public infrastructure improvements are to be installed, varies sufficiently from the future alignment or grade so that it would not be feasible to construct such improvements and maintain access to the property, he or she may suspend the requirement for public infrastructure improvements stated in Section 12.52.030. In that case, the Director of Public Works shall require the owner to enter into an agreement providing for the installation of the improvements at such future time as may be feasible to construct such improvements in accordance with design line and grade provided by the Department of Public Works. Performance under the agreement shall be secured by a security posted in accordance with Section 12.52.050. The agreement shall run with the land and shall be a binding obligation on the heirs, assigns and successors in interest of the owner. Said agreement shall be notarized and recorded in the office of the Orange County Recorder.
(Ord. 16-00)
A. 
Property Owner Maintenance Responsibility. Except as provided in subsection B of this section, property owners shall perform or cause to be performed all maintenance and repair of the following public infrastructure improvements:
1. 
Any portion of a sidewalk, curb, gutter, bikeway, or City trail adjacent to property owner's property, where said improvements are damaged due to property owner's action;
2. 
Any driveway approach apron leading into property owner's driveway;
3. 
Any parkway adjacent to property owner's property;

1. 
City trails, except those exempted by prior agreement;
2. 
Bikeways: surface and structural sections only;
3. 
Curbs and gutters.
C. 
For purposes of this title, the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings:
"Curb"
means a concrete or asphalt edging which defines the edge of a paved public street and may, but need not, provide drainage.
"Gutter"
means a depressed, hard-surfaced area for conveying surface water, adjacent to a public street.
"Parkway"
means that area from the back of the curb to the edge of the right-of-way, or if no curb exists, that area from the edge of the street to the edge of the right-of-way.
"Private trail"

(Ord. 16-00)
The Director of Public Works of the City is authorized to accept, on behalf of the City Council, streets and roads (or portions thereof) into the City street system and to record conveyances to the City of real property interests for street and road uses and purposes. The Director of Public Works shall, prior to recording any conveyance under this section, affix a certificate to the instrument stating the acceptance into the City street system and designating the name or number, or both, of the City street or road.
