REQUEST: A REQUEST TO OPERATE A LARGE FAMILY DAY CARE HOME CARING FOR UP TO FOURTEEN (14) CHILDREN. y 9, IT I Zoning Administrator July 1, 2019 LFD-2019-00002 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION That the Zoning Administrator adopt Zoning Administrator Action (ZAA) No. 19-004 approving Large Family Day Care Permit (LFD) 2019-00002 to operate a large family day care home, caring for up to fourteen (14) children in an existing residence located at 13361 Coral Reef Road. APPROVAL AUTHORITY That pursuant to Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9271 aa1(e) and Section 1597.46(a)(3) of the State Health and Safety Code, the Zoning Administrator shall review and decide the application when no request has been received for a public hearing before the Planning Commission. BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting approval to establish a large family day care caring for up to fourteen (14) children at an existing single-family residence located within the Single- Family Residential (R1) zoning district (Attachment A — Location Map). Currently, a large family day care home caring for up to fourteen (14) children is licensed by Community Care Licensing for the subject applicants at the Tustin residence located at 13552 Utt Drive. It should be noted that the City has not received any complaints regarding the existing large family day care facility at 13552 Utt Drive, which had been approved by the City on May 3, 2013. Per TCC 9223a6, large family day care homes are a permitted, use in the R1 zoning district, subject to the regulations contained within Section 9271 aa1 (discussed below). A formal application for a large family day care facility is required to be submitted to the Community Development Department for homes caring for eight (8) to fourteen (14) children. The applicant is also in the process of obtaining a license for the large family day care for the new residence from the Orange County Community Care Licensing Division. Section 1597 et seq. of the California HSC governs Family Day Care Homes with respect to zoning. The Califomia State Legislature has found and declared that: Family day care homes operated under the standards of state law constitute accessory uses of residentially zoned properties and do not fundamentally alter the nature of the underlying residential uses. Family day care homes draw clients and vehicles to their sites during a limited time of day and do not require the attendance of a large number of employees or equipment. (HSC 1597.43) As a result, HSC Section 1597.46 disallows a city from prohibiting large family day care homes on lots zoned for single-family dwellings. As an alternative, the city may either: Zoning Administrator July 1, 2019 LFD-2019-00002 Page 3, 1) Classify these homes as a permitted use of residential property for zoning purposes; 2) Grant a nondiscretionary permit to use a lot zoned for a single-family dwelling to any large family day care home that complies with local ordinances prescribing reasonable standards, restrictions, and requirements concerning spacing and concentration, traffic control, parking, and noise control relating to such homes; or; and 3) Require any large family day care home to apply for a permit to use a lot zoned. for single-family dwellings. The use pemlit shall be granted :if the large family day care Dome complies with local ordinances prescribing reasonable standards, restrictions, and requirements concerning spacing and concentration, traffic control, parking, and noise control relating to such homes. With respect to the City of Tustin, the TCC allows for large family day care homes under the third option described above pursuant to standards contained in TCC Sections 9223a6 and 9271 aa 1. 'As prescribed, Section 1597.46(a)(3) of the Health and Safety Code and TCC Section 9271 aa1(e) require notification of all property owners within a one hundred (100) foot radius of the exterior boundaries of the proposed large family day care home. The purpose of this notification is to allow property owners and/or other affected parties within the immediate proximity to comment and/or request a public hearing. No Dearing on the application shall be held unless a hearing is requested by the applicant or other affected persons. On June 18, 2019, a notice of the proposed large family day care home was mailed to property owners within a one hundred (100) foot radius of the property. No written correspondence was received within the noticing parameters requesting a hearing for the proposed large family day care so a hearing before the Planning Commission is not necessary. DISCUSSION Site and Surroundings The property is improved with an existing single-story, single-family home with a two-car garage. The project site is located on the corner of Coral Reef Road and East First Street in a residential neighborhood within the R1 zoning district. The property is surrounded by other single-family residences to the north, south, east and west (Figure 1). Zoning Administrator July 1, 2019 LFD-2019-00002 Page 4 al PC# ,r Figure 1- Site Map The applicant has indicated that the large family day care would operate as follows: • The proposed hours of operation would be from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday; • Outdoor play will take place between the hours of 12:30 p.m. to 1 :30 p.m.,, • Parents drop off and pick up children at different times throughout the morning and afternoon; • Some children may be from the same family, thus drop-off and pick-up spaces needed for the day care may be fewer than fourteen (14) vehicles and would probably not occur at the same time; and • The three (3) employees of the large family day care home are all residents of the home. Zoning and Building Code Requirements TCC Section 9223x6 lists large family day care homes as a permitted use in the R1 zoning district, subject to the regulations contained within Section 9271aa1 which are briefly discussed as follows: 0 A permit shall not be granted for a large day care home that would be Zoning Administrator July 1, 2019 LFD-2019-00002 Page 5 established within 300 feet of the exterior property boundaries of any existing licensed large family day care home. The nearest existing licensed large family day care facility is currently run by the subject applicants located on Utt Drive to the southwest of the proposed facility and at a distance in excess of 300 feet; however, it will close once the application is transferred to the new address. • The play yard of the home must be enclosed by a minimum six-foot high fence setback from the required front yard. The house encloses majority of the designated play yard and two (2) gates along Coral Reef Road and East First Street that- further enclose the play yard and generally complies with the requirement. • The Zoning Administrator shall not grant a permit for a large family day care home for any location that has, on the property, a swimming pool as defined by Section 102 of the Uniform Swimming Pool Code, as adopted. The property is not constructed with a pool or spa and complies with this requirement. • An applicant for a large family day care home shall be licensed or deemed to be exempt from licensure by the State of California as a large family day care home. The applicant has filed an application for a large family day care permit with the Orange County Community Care Licensing Division. Proposed Condition 2.7 would require the applicant to obtain and maintain a valid large family day care home license from the State of California and provide proof of such to the Community Development Department. At the time that the large family day care use is discontinued, the applicant shall notify the Community Development Department in writing. • All day care homes are subject to the regulations adopted and enforced by the State Fire Marshal and Orange County Fire Authority and must comply with the provisions of the State Uniform Building Code and City of Tustin Building requirements. The Orange County Fire Authority will review the subject Large Family Day Care permit application as part of fire clearance for the Community Care Licensing process. The applicant has obtained a plumbing permit for necessary improvements to the property as required by the City's Building Division staff in an inspection of the property. Improvements are underway and upon completion, will be inspected by City staff. Parking There is an existing two-car garage with a driveway wide enough to accommodate three (3) vehicles. Condition 2.4 of ZAA 19-004 requires that a minimum of one (1) driveway space directly in front of the garage shall remain open for dropping off and picking up children of the day care home (Figure 2). The proposed plan currently identifies two (2) driveway spaces for drop-off/pick-up. Zoning Administrator July 1, 2019 LFD-2019-00002 Page 6 RPOW _ % - 1 Figure 2- Coral Reef Road Elevation View Traffic Condition 2.6 requires drop-off and pick-up times of the children to be staggered by at least ten (10) minutes, to avoid multiple cars and pick-up/drop-off activity at any one given time. Not all fourteen (14) children are expected to arrive at the same time. The applicant has indicated that some are from the same family and therefore come together, and some are picked up or dropped off by the applicant herself, therefore reducing the total number of trips for the facility. In response to the notice of the proposed large family day care home that mailed to property owners within a one hundred (100) foot radius of the property, four (4) property owners contacted the City in-person, by phone, and by mail regarding potential increased traffic and parking concerns, specifically during the pick-up and drop-up of children, related to the large family day care home. HSC Section 1597.46 states "the permit shall be granted if the large family day home complies with local ordinances, if any, prescribing reasonable standards, restrictions, and requirements concerning .., traffic control," not traffic impacts. Proposed Condition 2.12 requires the applicant to ensure that the day care operation complies with the California Vehicle Code and all local traffic control ordinances and posted traffic control devices. Noise Section 1597.46 of the Health and Safety Code states that any noise standards shall be consistent with local noise ordinances implementing the noise element of the General Plan and shall take into consideration the noise levels generated by children. The Tustin City Noise Ordinance limits exterior noise levels in residential areas between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. to 55 dB(A). No complaints regarding noise have been reported to the City regarding the applicants existing large family day care home. Zoning Administrator July 1, 2019 LFD-2019-00002 Page 7 In response to the notice of the proposed large family day care home that mailed to property owners within a one hundred (100) foot radius of the property, three (3) property owners contacted the City in-person and by phone regarding potential noise concerns related to the large family day care home. The applicants have indicated that outdoor play will occur between the hours of 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.; however, proposed Condition 2.9 would require the applicant to comply with the Noise Ordinance at all times. Environmental Review Pursuant to HSC Section 1597.46(c), a large family day care home shall not be subject to the provisions of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code [California Environmental Quality Act]. Therefore, Section 15274 of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) lists Family Day Care Homes as a statutory exemption. FINDINGS State law precludes the City of Tustin from denying any large family day care home use that complies with local ordinances. The proposed large family day care home use does comply with TCC requirements and as conditioned, will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood or be injurious or detrimental to property or improvements in the vicinity or to the welfare of the City. A decision to approve this request can be supported by the following findings: 1. That the State of California Health and Safety Code Section 1597.43 states family day care homes operated under the standards of the state law constitute accessory uses of residentially zoned and occupied properties and do not fundamentally alter the nature of the underlying residential uses. 2. That the large family day care home complies with the intent of the State Legislature as stated within the Health and Safety Code which states, "family day care homes for children should be situated in normal residential surroundings so as to give children the home environment which is conducive to healthy and safe development." Also, except as specifically provided for in the Health and Safety Code, any restrictions related to the use of single-family residences for family day care homes for the care of children are prohibited in accordance with Section 1597.40(a). 3. The proposed large family day care use, as conditioned, would not be detrimental to, or have a negative effect on surrounding properties. In that, the proposed use is consistent with the large family day care regulations in Section 9271 aa1 of the TCC, as follows: Zoning Administrator July 1, 2019 LFD-2019-00002 Page 8 a) The proposed large family day care home use, as conditioned, would be subject to maintaining an ambient noise level in accordance with the City of Tustin's Noise Ordinance and, therefore, the use would not have a negative effect on the surrounding properties. b) No other legally established large family day care homes exist within three hundred (300)feet of the subject property. c) The play yard area is enclosed-by the existing walls of the house and two (2) gates facing the adjacent streets. The play yard area is further enclosed by a small fence around the 500-square-foot area. d) No swimming pool or spa currently exists on the site, and none shall be constructed as long as a large family day care is operating at the property. e) The subject property has been inspected by Building Division staff and the existing structure appears to be substantially in compliance with the building code in effect at the time of construction. f) As conditioned, one (1) space on the driveway of the property shall remain open and available for parking use of any employee who does not reside at the premises, if needed. g) As conditioned, a minimum of one (1) space on the driveway of the property directly in front of the garage shall be provided for the drop off and pick up of children. Presently, all three (3) day care employees reside at the residence; therefore, the site accommodates two (2) spaces on the driveway of the property for drop-off/pick up of children. Additional drop-off/pick-up area may be provided immediately adjacent to the site. In addition, implementation of staggered drop-off/pick-up times for clients will ensure sufficient loading area for children and prevent an overconcentration of vehicles at the site. h) The applicants have operated an existing large family day care home use at 13552 .Utt Drive and has been licensed by the State of California since January 7, 2013. The City has not received any complaints regarding the current.location. The proposed large family day care home use, as conditioned, meets the local zoning requirements and would be subject to additional licensing and inspections by the State of California Department of Social Services. 1) If at any time in the future the City is made aware and concurs that the large family day care home is not operating in compliance with local ordinances and conditions imposed, the project may be brought before Zoning Administrator My 1, 2019 LFD-2019-00002 Page 9 the Planning Commission for potential revocation proceedings to determine if said use is operated in a manner detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the community or surrounding properties.

Section. 1597.40 (a)It is the intent of the Legislature that family day care homes for children should be situated In normal residential surroundings so as to give children the home environment which is conducive to healthy and safe development. It is the public policy of this state to provide children in a family day care home the same home environment as provided in a traditional home setting. The Legislature declares this policy to be of statewide concern with the purpose of occupying the field to the exclusion of municipal zoning,building and fire codes and regulations governing the use or occupancy of family day care homes for children,except as specifically provided for in this chapter,and to prohibit any restrictions relating to the use of single-family residences for family day rare homes for children except as provided by this chapter.

The applicant is currently operating a large family day care home at 13552 Utt Drive, which will cease when the proposed location is approved. B. That the State of California Health and Safety Code Section 1597.43(a) states that large family day care homes operated under the standards of the State law' constitute accessory uses of residentially zoned and occupied properties and do not fundamentally alter the nature of the underlying residential uses. C. That the proposed large family day care home complies with the intent of the State Legislature as stated within the Health and Safety Code which states, "Family day care homes for children should be situated in normal residential surroundings so as to give children the home environment which is conducive to healthy and,safe development." D. That Health and Safety Code Section 1597.46(a)(3) permits a local agency to apply "reasonable" restrictions related to the use of single-family residences for family day care homes to ensure compatibility with other.uses in the vicinity. E. That pursuant to the Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9223a6, large family day care homes are a permitted use in the Single-Family Residential (R1) Zoning District, subject to the criteria contained within Section 9271 aa1. F. That the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and TCC in that the property has a land use designation of "Low Density Residential" and zoning designation of "Single-Family Residential," which provides for the establishment of large family day care homes, when in compliance with local ordinances. G. That pursuant to TCC Section 9271 aa1(e) and Section 1597.46(a)(3) of the State Health and Safety Code, a hearing of the Targe family day care home is required by the Planning Commission if the applicant or property owner within 100 feet of the subject property requests such a hearing. ZAA 19-004 LFD-2019-00002 Page 2 H. That all property owners within a 100-foot radius of the exterior property boundary of the site were notified of the intent to establish a large family day care home and no request for a public hearing was received. I. That, as conditioned, the large family day care home use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood or be injurious or detrimental to property or improvements in the vicinity or to the welfare of the City of Tustin in that:' 1) The proposed large family day care home use, as conditioned, would be subject to maintaining an ambient noise level in accordance with the City of Tustin's Noise Ordinance and, therefore, the use would not have a negative effect on the surrounding properties. 2) No other legally established large family day care homes exist within three hundred (300)feet of the subject property. 3) The play yard area is enclosed by the existing wails of the house and two (2) gates facing the adjacent streets. The play yard area is further enclosed by a small fence around the 500-square-foot area. 4) No swimming pool or spa currently exists on the site, and none shall be constructed as long as a large family day care is operating at the property. 5) The subject property has been inspected by Building Division staff and the existing structure appears to be substantially in compliance with the building code in effect at the time of construction. 6) As conditioned, one (1) space on the driveway of the property shall remain open and available for parking use of any employee who does not reside at the premises, if needed. 7) As conditioned, a minimum of one (1) space on the driveway of the property directly in front of the garage shall be provided for the drop off and pick up of children. Presently, all three (3) day care employees reside at the residence; therefore, the site accommodates two (2) spaces on the driveway of the property for drop-off/pick up of children. Additional drop-off/pick-up area may be provided immediately adjacent to the site. In addition, implementation of staggered drop-off/pick-up times for clients will ensure sufficient loading area for children and prevent an overconcentration of vehicles at the site. 8) The applicants have operated an existing large family day care home use at 13552 Utt Drive and has been licensed by the State of California since January 7, 2013. The City has not received any ZAA 19-004 LFD-2019-00002 Page 3 complaints regarding the current location. The proposed large family day care home use, as conditioned, meets the local zoning requirements and would be subject to additional licensing and inspections by the State of California Department of Social Services. 9) If at any time in the future the City is made aware and concurs that the large family day care home is not operating in compliance with local ordinances and conditions imposed, the project may be brought before the Planning Commission for potential revocation proceedings to determine if said use is operated in a manner detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the community or surrounding properties. G. That Pursuant to HSC Section 1597.46(c), a large family day care home shall not be subject to the provisions of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code [California Environmental Quality Act]. Additionally, per Section 15274 of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Family Day Care Homes are statutorily exempt.
