6. Discussion and Background
On October 8, 2024, the City of Orange adopted Ordinance No. 24-24 which repealed and replaced in its entirety the Park Ordinance set forth in Chapter 12.48 of the Orange Municipal Code. At that time, a revision to Section 12.48.105, Subsection A revised the requirement for a permit for groups gathering at a park to be 10 or more people instead of 25 or more people which did not conform with the intent of the Community Services Director.
This amendment to Section 12.48.105, Subsection A of the Orange Municipal Code will restore the permit requirement for public gathering at the park to 25 or more people at the park without a permit which was law prior to the revision on October 8, 2024, and conforms with the intent of the Community Services Director.
