6. Discussion and Background
Over the past several years, there have been a number of changes in State law impacting existing Orange Municipal Code (OMC) provisions. There have also been a number of new State laws requiring the addition of new OMC provisions. At the same time, a number of OMC provisions have been added and revised to reflect changed City policies. Not all of the changes in the OMC have been captured throughout the remaining OMC provisions, resulting in several code sections that still contain outdated, superseded, or changed references. In addition, there are several OMC provisions needing clerical revisions.
In January 2022, the City Clerk’s Office initiated a recodification and comprehensive review of the Orange Municipal Code utilizing an agreement with Quality Code Publishing. The review is complete and staff evaluated and implemented recommended updates to the Code.
The proposed Ordinance makes administrative adjustments and corrects, revises and/or deletes the inaccuracies found in Titles 9, 10, 12 and 13 of the OMC.
