Orange neighborhoods

What is not here

Register entries left off, and why

A published register is not automatically a list of neighborhoods. The City of Orange plan area register holds 33 named entries and 16 of them are not places: institutions, single apartment properties, entries the register labels with a homebuilder's corporate name, entries named for a pair of streets, and one the city's own note says is not a plan area at all. Each is named here rather than dropped in silence.

• OPA “Specific Plan Area”, 1,789 acres on the publisher's own geometry: the city's own note on the record reads “Not actually a SP area, just in name”; it is a county agreement area covering most of east Orange and it contains four other entries.
• Chapman University, 57 acres on the publisher's own geometry: a university campus.
• Chapman University and Santa Fe Depot, 2 acres on the publisher's own geometry: a two-acre sliver where two plan areas meet, filling 16 percent of its own convex hull.
• St. John's Lutheran Church, 5 acres on the publisher's own geometry: a church campus.
• Salem Lutheran Church and School, 6 acres on the publisher's own geometry: a church and school campus.
• Immanuel Lutheran Church, 2 acres on the publisher's own geometry: a church campus.
• Archstone Gateway, 12 acres on the publisher's own geometry: 546 of its 549 addresses carry a unit designator; it is one apartment property.
• Pinnacle at Uptown Orange, 12 acres on the publisher's own geometry: 465 of its 465 addresses carry a unit designator; it is one apartment property.
• Standard Pacific, 15 acres on the publisher's own geometry: the register labels it with a homebuilder's corporate name.
• Polygon Communities, 23 acres on the publisher's own geometry: the register labels it with a homebuilder's corporate name.
• Beazer Townhomes, 31 acres on the publisher's own geometry: the register labels it with a homebuilder's corporate name.
• Beazer Homes, 16 acres on the publisher's own geometry: the register labels it with a homebuilder's corporate name.
• Canal-Heim, 6 acres on the publisher's own geometry: the name is a pair of street names, not a place name.
• Pami Circle, 8 acres on the publisher's own geometry: the name is a street, not a place.
• Walnut-Santiago Creek, 8 acres on the publisher's own geometry: the name is a street and a creek, not a place name.
• Jamestown-San Juan, 19 acres on the publisher's own geometry: the name is a pair of street names, not a place name.

Three further registers were opened and rejected. The Orange County Fire Authority draws 12 evacuation zones inside Orange and ten of them are named only Orange Zone with a number, so only the two that name a place are used. The city's own Fire Evacuation Areas layer holds 68 polygons carrying an area number and no name. The city's Neighborhood Preservation District is a single 2,897 acre overlay, not a neighborhood. A page built on the unnamed evacuation zone ORG12 previously stood on this site; the fire authority's figures for it, 2,612 estimated residents and 1,045 addresses, are recorded here and the page has been removed because Orange Zone is not a place name.

The city registers two homeowner association layers in its ArcGIS Online organization, HOA and HomeownerAssociations. Both point at on-premises servers that no longer answer, so no association boundary could be read in this run and none is drawn.
