Presentation: Anne E. Bonner, Associate Planner
Commissioner Le Jeune asked counsel for opinion of letter received
dated July 9.
John Shaw, City Attorney, replied that he had reviewed the letter
but not the CCRs and would like to review them; he recommended
continuing the item so that he could evaluate the case authorities
cited; and to provide time for a written legal opinion.
The Public Hearing was opened at 7:09 p.m.
Duane Patterson, 13152 Laburnum Drive, expressed his support for
the applicant by noting that the children were well-behaved and
constantly supervised; that parking problems were exaggerated; that
the Barrett's driveway was never blocked; that the speeding
vehicles were unproven as clients of the applicant; and that the
children are not climbing the fence or running in the street.
Christina Rose, 16331 Mc Fadden Avenue, #3, stated that she is
content with the service; that she has been harassed by the
neighbor; had to leave her car on the street in front of the
neighbor's house when she had car trouble; that she drops off her
child and leaves; and wants this day care center to continue.
Susan Kenison, 13031 Ranchwood, owns property nearby, stated that
she has never noticed a problem; that the house is well-kept; the
kids are never outside and never create noise; would want someone
like Ms. Jones if she needed a sitter; and the children seem happy;
and that the neighborhood has forgotten how important a good child
care center is for the children.

Ernest Barrett, 13032 Ranchwood Road, Tustin, stated that he is a
23 year resident; that he lives next door to the applicant and
purchased his house in a residential neighborhood; presented
photographs of activities at the applicant's including a garage
sale with a "thrift store atmosphere," four (4) vehicles in the
driveway blocking the garage door which is designated as a fire
escape, and more than one client dropping off children at one time;
he complained about the garage being filled with commercial
merchandise and being used as a warehouse; that the City Code
requires: off street parking for two (2) cars per lot; that the
operator provide an immediately adjacent parking zone drop-
off/pick-up and one (1) space for each employee which are not
available. He continued with stating that there are cars parking
immediately in front of his property, leaving oil in the street;
that drop off's have blocked his driveway; that this hearing is
being held due to complaints of the neighbors because this has
become more than a nuisance, that it is now an intolerable
situation and that the City Code provides that the City will not
license an operation that is a nuisance to the neighborhood; that
the neighbors should have had the opportunity for a hearing before
her license was granted; and that there is no evidence that the
building is in compliance with the fire code.
Susan Wilson, 2353 Paseo Circulo, Tustin, stated that she has been
using the applicant for seven (7) months; that she received
information about her service from City of Tustin mailer regarding
child care services; that she is there for five (5) minutes in the
morning and afternoon; that the children are well-behaved; and she
is happy with their care.
Janet S. Hart, 13042 Ranchwood Road, Tustin, stated that she lives
two doors down from the applicant, and that she chose the
neighborhood for the family character and pride of ownership; that
the issue is not the quality of care but commercial use of private
property; that her concern is increased traffic flow and speed as
referred to in her letter of July 6; that children are playing in
the neighborhood at risk due to the traffic; that there are 65
child care services in the 92680 area and 10 in 92705 which
constitute other choices to this location; and that her driveway is
not available for parking and that the staff report offered parking
three and four doors down without courtesy of a public hearing
notice to those residents.
Celia Valencia, 13122 Dean Street, Mrs. Jones daughter complained
abut the neighbors' behavior towards her; that the many of the
items in the garage are her personal items and that she will be
moving shortly.
Robert Dawson, 5171 Via Marcos, Yorba Linda, 92687, owner of the
property, stated that he lived there for 12 years and is aware of
the CCRs which have been inconsistently applied; that his property
is managed by a professional service and is checked frequently;
that he provided his complete support for the tenant; and that he
did not feel it was the day care that was at issue, but the number
of cars in the driveway and garage sales. He continued with
stating that the applicant has rented for over one (1) year and up
until two months ago, he never received any complaints about the
tenant; that he has never seen cars in front of the adjacent
property on driving by at least one and one-half times per week;
that he had to evict the previous tenants due to sanitary
conditions, non-payment of rent, and destruction of property
without complaint from the neighbors; that the applicant's previous
neighbors were sorry to see her leave which speaks well of her
character; that she keeps the property clean and it would be

July 13, 1992
Page 4
unfortunate for her to lose her license and have to move over a
perceived inconvenience.
Shelly Anderson, 1777 Mitchell Avenue, #57, Tustin, stated that the
applicant has cared for her two (2) children for two years; and
felt that eleven cars in the morning and evening would not make a
difference on the flow of traffic in that neighborhood.
Gerald Feldman, 13191 Wickshire Lane, Tustin, Chairman Bellewick
Community Association, commented on the CCRs of the Association by
stating that the applicant was informed that garage sales of
commercial goods each weekend were not allowed and that she ceased
her weekly sales; that a recent sale may have prompted the latest
complaint; that the driveway is sometimes full, sometimes empty,
depending when driving by; that the Association follows the City of
Tustin's guidelines for home businesses; that people must obtain a
business license; cited Resolution 3065, Article I, Section D, and
noted that it does not address a possible diminution of property
values which might be considered a nuisance; that for the size of
the house, six (6) children might be a better number.
Walter Domino, 13041 Ranchwood, stated that he was against this
business since this is a residential neighborhood; and that this
type of business should be located in a commercial neighborhood
with adequate parking.
Socorro M. Jones, 13022 Ranchwood, applicant, stated that this
meeting was not due to the day care service, but that a neighbor
stated on June 27 that "she had no business living in that house,
and should move, because she was a renter." That she has been
harassed and that the problem is a racial discrimination and not
related to the day care.
Jeff Richardson, stated that he lives at the property with his
wife, the applicant's daughter; that cars are allowed to be parked
in the driveway; that they have never done anything to bother the
neighbor; that they are near Irvine Boulevard and the traffic
problem is due to other vehicles, not the day care clients.
Janet Hart rebutted Mrs. Jones comments, and stated that her only
meeting with her was to discuss the garage sale issue and
commercial use of property.
The Public Hearing was closed at 7:58 p.m.
Commissioner Le Jeune asked about the City's rules regarding garage
sales.
Staff replied that garage sales are allowed four (4) times in the
calendar year on not more than two (2) consecutive weekends; that
they respond on a complaint basis; and that there is no record of
a problem at this location.
Commissioner Le Jeune stated that there are many day care issues,
and that the state encourages homes for day care use; that the
traffic issue seems to be more of an enforcement problem than an
issue against the day care center; that there is nothing specific
that would preclude him voting for the applicant; and would want
staff to address the enforcement issues.
Commissioner Kasalek stated that many of the issues presented were
not day care issues, but code enforcement items that should be
worked out with the neighbors; that the street is for public
parking; and that a day care is to be considered a residential use.
Planning Commission Minutes
July 13, 1992
Page 5
Staff affirmed that State codes indicate that the City cannot
require a day care to obtain a business license.
John Shaw stated that the State Code considers this a residential
use; and that he wants to respond in writing, but that the State
law will probably pre-empt the City.
Commissioner Kasalek continued with indicating that the traffic
problems may be due to cut-through traffic; and that the garage
sale business is separate from the day care use.
Commissioner Weil stated that the State has mandated that they
allow large family day care centers in residential neighborhoods;
that a major issue seems to be traffic; that the applicant has a
family to provide residence for due to the economic climate; that
people may not be comfortable with the situations, but cannot turn
their children into the street; that applicant should show
sensitivity to the neighbors when clients arrive; that some of the
traffic may not be due to the day care; that many of the problems
are unrelated and a good day care center is hard to find; and that
due to the State stipulations, there was no evidence presented to
vote against the day care.
Commissioner Baker stated that he sat out in front of the house to
watch the activity; has been a child care user in the past; that
there was no complaint about noise; that the complaints have been
about traffic and antagonism between the neighbors; that they are
mandated by the State, with little decision making power; and that
it behooves the applicant to be a good neighbor.
Commissioner Weil noted that it may be an asset, not a detriment,
to a property to have a local day care center in the neighborhood.
Commissioner Le Jeune suggested ruling on this and making it a
consent calendar item instead of continuing it.
John Shaw, stated that it could be continued or a decision could be
made based upon an affirmative legal opinion.
Commissioner Baker asked if the neighbors present would need to
return to the next meeting.
Staff replied that they could notify those who spoke and anyone who
leaves their name and address.
Commissioner Weil and Baker asked for clarification of the
decision.
John Shaw replied that final decision should be rendered this
evening, subject to the provision that the matter would be brought
back if counsel renders legal opinion that finds that the CCRs
constitute an impairment to the Commission's decision making
authority; and that the appeal should be postponed until the
opinion is written and Commission is notified.
Commissioner Baker clarified the issue by stating that the item
would be voted on, subject to Counsel's opinion to the contrary,
and an opinion would be published within the next two weeks and
brought back as an Old Business Item.
Commissioner Le Jeune asked when counsel would have an opinion
rendered.

John Shaw replied that it would be written by the end of the week,
and would then be able to advise the residents.
Staff stated that residents would have up until July 20 to appeal
the decision; that it must be filed with the Community Development
Department at the City Offices at 15222 Del Amo, written or in
person, without a fee.
Commissioner Le Jeune moved, Kasalek seconded to approve LFD 92-002

program.

encourage people to use the downtown area.

supervision; that the other businesses in the center will close
prior to 8:00 p.m. which will free up spaces as well as on-street

about off-site sale of liquor.
Mr. Harrinqton replied negatively to video machines; and that he
would like to sell fine wines.
Commissioner Weil stated that off-site sales usually accompany
full-scale restaurants; and that he is asking for special
consideration by not having to prepare foods on the premises.
Mr. Harrinqton replied that he will now be preparing foods on the
premises and serving a modest breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Commissioner Kasalek asked about bathroom facilities; and asked
staff for a clarification of access to the parking structure via
the City-owned property.
Mr. Harrinqton replied that there will be two (2) handicapped
bathrooms; and that Health Department-required plan changes will be
submitted within approximately three (3) days.
The Assistant Director replied that there were no plans at present
for access, and it would be premature to answer.
Commissioner Baker asked the cost of ten (10) spaces at the City
parking structure.
Staff replied that it was based on the assessed value of the land
but other leases cost approximately $35 per month per space; the
applicant is requesting a waiver of the fees; and that the RU/DAT
indicated that the parking structure must be more accessible.
