Here at Chapman, we work hard to make sure that our neighbors and the community we love always enjoy the benefits of us being here, and make every effort to mitigate the concerns of our community. One of the tools we use to accomplish that goal is the Chapman University Specific Plan.<\/p>\n

First approved by the City of Orange in 1989, the Specific Plan defines the University\u2019s plans for the development and improvement of our campus. It\u2019s been updated regularly, but the most recent amendment, proposed in 2015, was suspended due to concerns expressed by the City and the community. In the years since, we have worked hard to resolve those issues, improve relationships and enhance the image of Chapman University as an integral part of the City and its surrounding community.<\/p>\n

Submission of Specific Plan Amendment 7<\/h3>\n

On September 5th, Amendment 7 to the Specific Plan was finalized and submitted to City officials. The approval process is lengthy and involved [see graphic below], and we\u2019re committed to keeping you informed at every step. There will be multiple opportunities for public comment over the course of the next 14 months, and we welcome the community\u2019s involvement moving forward.<\/p>\n
