Eichlers

Thanks to the efforts of Eichler residents, the three Eichler Tracts in Orange (Fairhaven, Fairhills, and Fairmeadow) have been identified as potential historic districts. In response to residents' enthusiasm for their homes, we are working on local historic district designation and design standards for these unique neighborhoods.

After more than six months of input from residents, the historic district designation and design standards for the Eichler tracts are going to public hearings for approval this fall. Thank you to all Eichler residents for your engagement in this effort.

Orange Eichler Design Standards Timeline

​

The first public review draft of the Orange Eichler Design Standards was released on July 12, 2018. We held one community workshop and one study session with the Design Review Committee on the first draft and received many comments on the draft from Eichler residents. Thank you to the homeowners who reached out to us with your input.

Based on this feedback, we made change to draft and released a second version on August 17, 2018. We held a second Design Review Committee study session on August 29, 2018. The final public review draft of the Orange Eichler Design Standards is based on nearly two months of input from the Design Review Committee and residents.
