SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (R-1)
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WAS PREPARED
PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 6 OF THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) AND
CONCLUDED THAT, AS CONDITIONED, NO
SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS WOULD RESULT FROM THE
PROJECT.
AUTHORIZATION TO ESTABLISH A LARGE FAMILY
DAY CARE HOME, CARING FOR UP TO FOURTEEN (14)
CHILDREN
That the Planning Commission: 1) adopt Resolution No. 4000 determining as adequate
the Final Negative Declaration prepared for Large Family Day Care 05-019; and, 2)
adopt Resolution No. 3995 approving Large Family Day Care 05-019 to establish a
large family day care home caring for up to fourteen (14) children.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting approval to establish a large family day care caring up to
fourteen (14) children within an existing single-family residence located within the
Single-Family Residential (R-1) zoning district (Attachment A - Location Map). A formal
application for a large family day care facility is required to be submitted to the
Planning Commission Report
LFD 05-019
September 12, 2005
Page 2 of 7
Community Development Department for homes caring for eight (8) to fourteen (14)
children per Tustin City Code Section 9223a(6).
In accordance with Section 1597.43 of the California State Health and Safety Code,
family day care homes operated in accordance with State Law are considered an
accessory use of a residentially zoned property and do not fundamentally alter the
nature of underlying residential uses. While Section 1597.46 of the California Health
and Safety Code QIQbiQjts local aovernment from denvina a larae family day care
provided that the facility complies with State requirements related to the use of single-
family residence for family day care home, Section 1597.46(a)(3) of the same Code
authorizes local agencies to prescribe reasonable standards, restrictions, and
requirements concerning spacing and concentration, traffic control, parking, and noise
control relating to such home.
Section 1597.46(a)(3) of the Health and Safety Code and Tustin City Code Section
9223.a.6 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 within the immediate proximity to
comment and/or request a public hearing. No hearing on the application shall be held
unless a hearing is requested by the applicant or other affected persons. On July 14,
2005, notices of the proposed large family day care home were sent to property owners
within a one hundred (100) foot radius, and on July 18, 2005, a request for a hearing
before the Planning Commission was received from Mr. Paul Oelrich, a homeowner at
15711 S. Myrtle Avenue (Attachment B - Submitted Letter, received July 18, 2005). Mr.
Oelrich indicated concerns related to intensifying traffic in the neighborhood and more
specifically at the entrance of the residential tract on McFadden Avenue at Myrtle
Avenue since it is the only entry into the neighborhood. Mr. Oelrich also indicated
concern with potential noise-related issues.
The item was scheduled for the Planning Commission hearing on August 22, 2005;
however, it was continued to the Planning Commission hearing on September 12, 2005.
At the meeting on August 22nd, a petition signed by twenty (20) residents was submitted
protesting the proposed use stating concern with the existing traffic congestion at
McFadden Avenue and Myrtle Avenue (Attachment C - Submitted Petition, received
August 22, 2005). An additional protest letter was received August 23, 2005, from
Chester and Lynette Maharaj at 15622 California Street (Attachment D - Submitted
Letter, received August 23, 2005), citing concerns with traffic, specifically that the
dropping off and picking up of children would intensify already congested streets, and
noted a concern with the general over-crowding conditions of the single-family homes.
In addition to the letters, staff has spoken with an unidentified neighbor who has
concerns with how a single-family residence may accommodate up to fourteen (14)
children, and wanted to know the licensing requirements for a person to obtain a license
from the California Community Care Licensing Division.

DISCUSSION
The applicant has indicated that the day care would operate as follows:
. The hours of operation would be from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 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 vehicles and would probably
not occur at the same time;
. No employees that are not residents of the house will be employed at the facility.
Site and Surroundings
The project site is located mid-block on Myrtle Avenue and is surrounded entirely by
single-family residential properties. Clients would be able to enter at least one space in
the driveway in front of the two-car garage to drop off or pick up a child, and the curb in
front of the house is long enough to accommodate four (4) to five (5) vehicles. The
vehicles could either make a u-turn at the end of Myrtle Avenue or turn onto Coria
Avenue to the north and circle back south through the neighborhood back to McFadden
Avenue. (Attachment E - Submitted Plans).
Zoning and Uniform Building Code Requirements
The house has approximately 2,460 square feet of back yard area, enclosed with a
fence as required by Tustin City Code. The Tustin City Code also requires that no
swimming pool, jacuzzi/spa, or any other water body shall be constructed at the site
while the large family day care home is in operation; no pool or spa currently exists and
Condition 2.1 is included to ensure that no pool or spa may be constructed or installed
as long as the proposed day care exists at the property.
As required by the Tustin City Code, the applicant currently holds a license from the
State of California to care for up to fourteen (14) children. Condition 3.5 of Resolution
No. 3995 would require the applicant to continue to hold a current large family day care
home license from the State of California and provide proof of such to the Community
Development Department.
The Tustin City Code requires a three hundred (300) foot separation between large
family day care homes. Staff found that there are no other large family day care homes
licensed within three hundred (300) feet of the proposed site.

Traffic
The applicant has indicated that drop-off and pick-up times vary in fifteen-minute
intervals typically between 7:00-8:30 a.m. and 2:00-6:00 p.m. It is anticipated that not
all fourteen (14) children would arrive or depart at the same time and sufficient parking
will be available. The trip generation for the proposed day care facility is estimated to
be 60 trip ends per day, which is 50 trip ends more than a single family residence. Day
care traffic generated during normal a.m. and p.m. peak hours is estimated at 11 trip
ends for each peak hour (see the attached "Trip Generation Analysis.") A 24-hour traffic
count on Myrtle Avenue between McFadden Street and Medallion Avenue, dated
August 23, 2005,indicates a two-way traffic volume of 1468 vehicles. As a two-lane
local street, Myrtle Avenue is well within the capacity of the street. Therefore, the City
Traffic Engineer has determined that the traffic generated from the proposed day care
facility is not anticipated to impact the daily traffic operation of Myrtle Avenue.
The proposed project is not expected to exceed the level of service established for the
immediate vicinity of Myrtle Avenue, in that as confirmed by the Public Works
Department, Traffic Division, there is sufficient capacity on Myrtle Avenue to
accommodate the proposed and existing uses. In the immediate vicinity of the
proposed large family day care, there is no vacant land, and no new or intensified uses
are in review or are anticipated in the near future. Single family residences are well
established along the street.
Condition 3.10 would require the applicant to submit a traffic study and implement
interim and permanent mitigation, if complaints are received and impacts related to this
use are identified.
Parking
The applicant has indicated that only persons residing at the subject home will be
employed in the proposed large family day care business. Thus, no employee parking
would be required. However, Condition No. 3.1 would require off-street parking should
the applicant decide to hire persons not residing at the residence.
The property is improved with an attached two (2) car garage. Condition 3.11 would
ensure that the garage is to be used and available for parking of vehicles. There is
room for four (4) to five (5) on-street parking spaces at the front of the property
(Attachment E - Submitted Plans), and not all fourteen (14) children are expected arrive
or depart at the same time. Condition 2.1 would require the applicant to submit an
interval parking schedule to be reviewed and approved by the Community Development
Director prior to operation of the large family day care. Condition 3.10 would require the
applicant to submit a traffic/parking study and implement interim and permanent
mitigation, if complaints are received and impacts are identified.

Noise
The City Noise Ordinance limits exterior noise levels in residential areas between 7:00
a.m. and 10:00 p.m. to 55 dB(A). The potential increase in noise caused by eight (8) to
fourteen (14) children is anticipated to be minimal. However, Condition 3.7 would
require the applicant to comply with the Noise Ordinance at all times.
State of California Licensing Requirements
The State of California's requirements for obtaining and maintaining a Large Family Day
Care license, as outlined on the Community Care Licensing Division's website
(http://cc1.dss.cahwnet.aovL), are attached for reference (Attachment F - "California
Family Child Care Homes Licensing Regulation Highlights," dated February 2005).
License requirements include required criminal record clearance, Child Abuse Central
Index (CACI) clearance, fire safety inspection/clearance, inspection guidelines, staffing
and personnel requirements, immunizations and admission procedures, and health and
safety regulations.
Environmental Review
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), staff prepared an
Initial Study to determine whether the project would have any potentially significant
environmental effects attached to Resolution No. 4000 (Attachment H.) As documented
in the Initial Study and the Final Negative Declaration, the project would not have a
significant impact on the environment.
ANAL YSIS
As conditioned, the proposed large family day care 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. 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
Planning Commission Report
LFD 05-019
September 12, 2005
Page 6 of 7
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. Based on the following, the
proposed use is consistent with the large family day care regulations in Section 9223
(a)(6) of the Tustin City Code, which identifies the location of large family day care
facilities in residential zones as an appropriate location:
a)
b)
The proposed large family day care 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.
There are no other large family day care homes within three hundred (300) feet
of the subject property.
c)
d)
The play yard area is enclosed with a six (6) foot high fence.
There is no swimming pool or spa existing on the site.
e)
The existing family day care use at 15712 S. Myrtle Avenue has been inspected
and licensed by the State of California. The proposed large family day care, as
conditioned, meets all the State of California requirements and would be subject
to additional licensing and inspections by the State.
f)
The additional trips anticipated for the proposed use will not affect the current
level of service on roadways.
g)
As conditioned, the project will not employ employees that do not reside at the
project site. If the applicant is to employ employees in the future, the applicant
will be required to provide an off-street parking space for each employee,
consistent with Tustin City Code Section 9223.a.6.
h)
As conditioned, the proposed four (4) to five (5) drop-off/pick-up spaces located
in front of the residence do not interfere with traffic and are safe for children
since no children would be required to cross a street to enter or exit the day
care home. In addition, implementation of interval pick-up times for clients will
ensure sufficient parking is provided.
i)
As conditioned, if at any time in the future the City is made aware and concurs
that a parking, traffic, or noise problem exists at the subject site, the property
owner would be required to implement immediate interim and permanent
mitigation measures to eliminate the impact.

CONCLUSION
Pursuant to Section 1597.46 of the California Health and Safety Code, a local agency may
not deny an application for a large family day care business proposed within a lot zoned
for single family dwellings. However, "reasonable" conditions could be placed upon the
approval of a permit to ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses. Staff believes that
the environmental review performed in support of Resolution No. 4000 supports a finding
that the proposed project, as conditioned, will not cause environmental impacts
(Attachment G). Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt
Resolution No. 3995 approving Large Family Day Care 05-019 as conditioned
(Attachment H).

PROTESTING LARGE F AMIL Y DA YCARE AT
15712 S. MYRTLE AVENUE, TUSTIN, CA 92780
Reference Number 05-019
We, the residents of Myrtle, Medallion, Pacific, California and Corla Streets,
object to the request to operate a large family daycare home for up to
fourteen (14) children in our neighborhood. This is a tract of about 86 single
family residences in an extremely busy area of Tustin where traffic
congestion is a problem. We are limited by only one access to the main
street"Mc Fadden. At any time, but especially during peak hour traffic,
entering and leaving our tract is problematic and dangerous. There are no
traffic lights to alleviate this problem which will be made much worse with
the additional dropping off and picking up of up to fourteen more children.
This is only one of the many reasons we're objecting to this permit being
granted.

Dear Mr. West,
RE: OBJECTION TO LARGE FAMILY DAY CARE AT 15712 S. MYRTLE AVENUE, TUSTIN,
CA 92780 - (Your Reference Number 05-019)
Thank you for returning our telephone call today, As requested, we're giving you, in writing, our
objection to the request for a permit to operate a Large Family Day Care for up to fourteen (14)
school age children in our neighborhood,
We've attached an area map of our tract which is made up of Myrtle Avenue, Medallion Avenue,
Pacific Street, California Street and Coria Avenue, This is a tract of about 86 single family
residences (almost entirely surrounded by high-density apartment dwellings, many of which were
once occupied by members of the Tustin Marine Base) in an extremely busy area of Tustin where
traffic congestion has become a problem. We are limited by having only one access to the main
street, McFadden. McFadden is a major street that feeds the 55 and 5 freeways. At any time,
but especially during peak hour traffic, entering and leaving our tract is problematic and
dangerous. There are no traffic lights to alleviate this problem which will be made much worse
with the additional dropping off and picking up of up to fourteen more children. This is only one of
several reasons we're objecting to this permit being granted.
We've owned our house and lived in it for over twenty years. When we moved into this Single-
Family Residential (R-1) neighborhood most of the homes were occupied by sinQle families
consisting of between two and five people with between two to four cars per household. Because
a large percentage of the buildings here consist of four to five bedrooms, we now have a situation
where most of the houses are occupied by as many as four or more families. As a result of
multiple families occupying each dwelling, our neighborhood has developed a parking problem.
There are some cases where there are as many as seven or more vehicles per household.
By granting a Large Family Day Care Permit, the City will be contributing to the further decline of
our neighborhood. It's in the best interests of Tustin, as a whole, to preserve our neighborhood.
To better understand the overcrowding and parking problems, it would be best for officials of the
City of Tustin to observe our neighborhood in the early evening when most people are home.
Likewise, observina the sole Mvrtle/McFadden entrance and exit (with NO traffic liahts) to our
entire 86-home tract durina peak-hour traffic will clearly prove our point.
As the City Planner, we're sure you will be proud if you succeed in preserving our neighborhood
and protecting it from further overcrowding and traffic congestion problems, We would appreciate
all your efforts on our behalf.
Sincerely,
flj/./l á.? /.

B. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at
least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist in Section D
below.
D Aesthetics
D Air Quality
D Cultural Resources
D Hazards & Hazardous Materials
D Land Use/Planning
D Noise
D Public Services
D Transportation/Traffic
D Mandatory Findings of Significance
D Agriculture Resources
D Biological Resources

D Utilities/Service Systems
C. DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
[g I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
D I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will
not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by
the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
D I find that the proposed project MA Y have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
D I find that although the proposed project MA Y have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially
significant unless mitigated impact" on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately
analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by
mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described in the attached sheets. An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to
be addressed.
D I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all
potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR OR NEGATIVE
DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to
that earlier EIR OR NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are
imposed upon the proposed project, and no further documentation is required.

D. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Directions
1)
A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the
information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is
adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects
like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be
explained where it is based on project-specific factors and general standards (e.g., the project will not expose
sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).
2)
All answers must take into account the whole action involved, including off-site, on-site, cumulative project level,
indirect, direct, construction, and operational impacts.
3)
Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must
indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant.
"Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If
there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4)
"Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of
mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant
Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect
to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-
referenced).
5)
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has
been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c) (3)(0). In this case, a brief
discussion should identify the following:
a)
b)
Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of
and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether
such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated,"
describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the
extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
c)
6)
Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential
impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should,
where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.
7)
Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals
contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8)
This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies
normally address the questions fTom this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in
whatever format is selected.
9)
The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and,
b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

A TT ACHMENT A
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
LARGE FAMILY DAY CARE PERMIT 05-019
15712 S. MYRTLE AVENUE
BACKGROUND
The subject application for LFD 05-019 proposes to establish a large family day care for up to
fourteen (14) children in an existing single family home located at 15712 S. Myrtle Avenue. The
property is located within the Single Family Residential (R-1) Zoning District and is designated as Low
Density Residential in the Tustin General Plan. A Large Family Day Care Permit is required pursuant
to Tustin City Code Section 9223.a.6.
The large family day care proposes to provide day care for preschool and school age children on
weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The facility will not have any employees that are not living at the
property .
AESTHETICS
Items a throuQh d - No Impact: The project is located in a single family residence and does
not include any proposed development or construction. Therefore the existing visual character
and quality of the site and its surroundings would not be affected. The project site is not located on
a scenic highway nor does it affect a scenic vista. The project does not include any new exterior
lighting.
Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: None Required.
Sources: Field Inspection
Project Application
Tustin City Code
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
Items a throuQh c - No Impact:
The property is currently improved with a single family dwelling, and no new development or
construction is proposed. No agricultural resources exist on-site. Therefore, the proposed project
would not have any impacts to agricultural resources.
Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: None Required
Sources: Tustin General Plan
Field Inspection
Project Application
AIR QUALITY
Items a throuQh e - No Impact:
The project is located in a single family residence and does not include any proposed
development or construction. Therefore, the project would not generate any construction
emissions. The operation of a large family day care has the potential to generate a total of 50 net
daily trip ends, based on trip rates provided in Trip Generation published by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE). The projected increase of 50 trips would not have a significant
impact on air quality.
As such, the proposed project will not conflict with or obstruct implementation of any applicable air
quality plan, contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation, result in a
cumulatively considerable increase of any criteria pollutant as applicable by Federal or ambient air
quality standard, nor will it expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, or
create objectionable odor affecting a substantial number of people.
Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: None Required

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Items a throuQh f - No Impact: The property is currently developed with a single family
dwelling, and the project does not include any proposed development or construction. The project
area is not identified as a federal, state, or local protected wetland, and no standing water or
riparian or wetland species are apparent on the property. No impacts to any unique, rare, or
endangered species of plant or animal life identified in local or regional plans, policies or regulations
by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will occur as a
result of this proposed project. Therefore, no impact will occur to endangered, threatened or rare
species or habitats, locally designated species or natural communities, or wildlife dispersal or
migration corridors. The project site has no significant plant or animal species present on site and
there are no biological resources located on site.

HYDROLOGY & WATER QUALITY
Items a thouah P - No Impact: The project is not located in a flood hazard zone and does
not include any proposed development or construction and, therefore, would not expose people or
property to water related hazards such as flooding, change the course or direction of waters
movements, affect the quantity or recharge of groundwaters, impact stormwater runoff, affect the
beneficial uses of the receiving waters, increase flow velocity or volume of storm water runoff,
exceed the capacity of an existing storm drain, degrade water quality, or create erosion.
The project site will not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death as
a result of the failure of a levee or dam, or by inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow.
As such, the project will not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements
or degrade water quality in the area.

LAND USE PLANNING
Items a throuQh c - No Impact: The subject property is designated by the Tustin General
Plan Land Use Map as Low Density Residential and is located in the Single Family Residential (R-
,1) zoning district. The proposed use is consistent with a residential use and with the applicable
land use and zoning regulations.
The proposed project will not divide an established community since it would be in an existing
residence located among single family dwellings in an urbanized area. The proposed project is
not located in a conservation plan or natural community conservation plan area.

MINERAL RESOURCES
Items a & b - No Impact: The property is currently developed with a single family dwelling,
and the project does not include any proposed development or construction. The operation of a
large family day care home is an accessory residential use and will not use nonrenewable
resources in a wasteful or inefficient manner.
Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: None Required
Sources: Project Application
Tustin City Code
Tustin General Plan
NOISE
Items a throuQh d- No Impact:
The project is located in a single family residence and does not include any proposed
development or construction. Therefore, the project would not generate any construction noise.
The Tustin City Code requires that the operation of large family day care homes not exceed the
noise levels in the City of Tustin Noise Ordinance. The play yard area for the children would be
located within the backyard of the single-family residence. The large family day care operation
complies with the Tustin City Code by design, location, and layout. The facility, when operated in
accordance with the Noise Ordinance and project conditions that limit the business hours and the
hours of outdoor play to between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on weekdays only, is not anticipated to
create adverse noise impacts which would constitute a nuisance to neighboring properties.
In addition, noise created by traffic to the project will not significantly exceed the noise created by
existing traffic on Myrtle Avenue. According to studies prepared by the Illinois Department of
Transportation, noise is measured on a logarithmic scale and two (2) sources of equal noise
added together result in an increase of 3 dBA. The Department further indicates that a 3 dBA
change in noise levels is not typically perceived by persons with average hearing. Therefore,
doubling traffic volumes will increase the noise level by 3 dBA. Since the project would at no time
double traffic on Myrtle Avenue, any traffic noise created would be absorbed within the existing
noise created by existing vehicle traffic on the street and could not be detected by persons with
reasonable auditory perception. Therefore, no additional significant traffic noise will be created by
the project.
The project is not located in close proximity to any airports. Standard building techniques will
provide sufficient indoor insulation to prevent children and employees from being exposed to air
traffic noise.

PUBLIC SERVICES
Item a - No Impact:
The proposed project is in an existing urbanized area where fire and police protection are
currently provided and can accommodate the large family day care use. The use would not have
an impact on school district facilities within the Tustin Unified School District in that the use
provides day care to preschool age children and to school age children when school is not in
session. The use is not anticipated to generate additional parkland needs in that all outdoor
activities for the use will occur on-site.

TRANSPORT A TIONITRAFFIC
Item a - No Impact:
A 24-hour traffic count on Myrtle Avenue between McFadden Street and Medallion Avenue, dated
August 23, 2005 indicates a two-way traffic volume of 1468 vehicles. As a two lane local street,
Myrtle Avenue is well within the capacity of the street.
The trip generation for the proposed daycare facility is estimated to be 60 trip ends per day, which
is 50 trip ends more than a single family residence. Daycare traffic generated during normal AM
and PM peak hours is estimated at 11 trip ends for each peak hour. See the attached "Trip
Generation Analysis." Therefore, the City Traffic Engineer has determined that the traffic
generated from the proposed daycare facility is not anticipated to impact the daily traffic operation
of Myrtle Avenue.

Tustin General Plan
Items b - Q - No Impact:
The proposed project does not exceed, either individually or cumulatively, the level of service
established for the immediate vicinity of Myrtle Avenue, in that as confirmed by the Public Works
Department, Traffic Division, there is sufficient capacity on Myrtle Avenue to accommodate the
proposed and existing uses. In the immediate vicinity of the proposed large family day care, there
is no vacant land, and no new or intensified uses are in review or are anticipated in the near
future. Single family residences are well established along the street. The existing uses on the
street are considered to be close to the maximum development thresholds established by the
General Plan Land Use Element, yet the acceptable level of service for Myrtle Avenue would not
be exceeded even with the proposed project.
The proposed project will not cause changes to air traffic patterns or cause any changes to the
public right-of-way that could cause road hazards. Although there is only one street serving the site,
the proposed project would not prevent emergency vehicle access to the site as determined
during the plan review process by the Orange County Fire Authority.
Tustin City Code Section 9223(a)(6)(j) requires one off-street parking space for each non-resident
employee and allows drop-off and pick-up areas on-site and immediately adjacent to the site.
There is a two car garage and a driveway which can accommodate two vehicles. In addition, the
existing curb between the project site driveway and the adjacent property access is of sufficient
length to allow about four to five vehicles to park at the curb. As such, no impacts to parking are
anticipated. Also, along this section of Myrtle Avenue sidewalk is adjacent to the curb, which
facilitates vehicle entry/exit on the passenger side.
The applicant has indicated that drop-off and pick-up times vary in fifteen minute intervals.
Typically, between 7:00-8:30 am and 2:00-6:00 pm times for drop off vary. Based on the current
operations, it is anticipated that not all fourteen (14) children would arrive or depart at the same
time and sufficient parking will be available.
The project does not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative
transportation such as bus turnouts or bicycle racks in that bus turnouts exist on nearby streets and
no aspect of the project prevents alternative transportation from being implemented.

PROPOSED DAYCARE FACILITY WITHIN AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOME AT
15712 S. MYRTLE AVENUE; CUP 05-019, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR PLAN
CHECK #05-019E
SUBJECT:
Pursuant to your request, Traffic Engineering has taken traffic counts to provide additional
analysis of the proposed daycare facility to be located within an existing single family residence
at 15712 Myrtle Avenue. The project is indicated to have up to 14 students. Based on the
submittal and a field review we have the following traffic related comments:
1. A 24-hour traffic count on Myrtle Avenue between McFadden Street and Medallion
Avenue dated August 23, 2005 indicates a two-way traffic volume of 1468 vehicles. As
a two lane local street, Myrtle Avenue has a capacity of about 9,000 vehicles per day,
so existing traffic on Myrtle Avenue is well within the capacity of the street.
2. As indicated in our previous analysis, trip generation for the proposed daycare facility is
estimated to be 60 trip ends per day, which is 50 trip ends more than a single family
residence. Daycare traffic generated during normal AM and PM peak hours is
estimated at 11 trip ends for each peak hour. See the attached "Trip Generation
Analysis". Therefore, traffic generated from the proposed daycare facility is not
anticipated to impact the daily traffic operation of Myrtle Avenue.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this proposed project. If you have any
questions, please contact me.

RESOLUTION NO. 3995
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF TUSTIN APPROVING LARGE FAMILY DAY
CARE 05-019 TO AUTHORIZE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
A LARGE FAMILY DAY CARE HOME, CARING FOR UP TO
FOURTEEN (14) CHILDREN AT THE RESIDENCE
LOCATED AT 15712 S. MYRTLE AVENUE.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I.
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A.
That a proper application for a large family day care permit was filed by
Maria Del Carmen Hurtado to authorize the establishment of a large family
day care home, caring for up to fourteen (14) children, at the residence
located at 15711 S. Myrtle Avenue within a Single Family Residential
District.
B.
Pursuant to the Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9223.a.6, large family day
care homes are conditionally permitted in the Single Family Residential
Zoning District.
C.
Pursuant to TCC Section 9223(a)(6)(e) and Section 1597.46(a)(3) of the
State Health and Safety Code, a hearing of the large 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.
D.
That a letter was received on July 18, 2005, from Mr. Paul Oelrich, owner of
15711 S. Myrtle Avenue, requesting a hearing before the Planning
Commission for the proposed large family day care.
E.
That the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and Tustin City
Code in that the property is designated as "Low Density Residential" and
zoned "Single-Family Residential" which provides for the establishment of
large family day care homes. In addition, the project has been reviewed for
consistency with the Air Quality Sub-Element of the City of Tustin General
Plan and has been determined to be consistent with the Air Quality Sub-
Element.
F.
That 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.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 3995
Page 2
H.
I.
G.
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." Also, 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.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said application
on September 12, 2005, by the Planning Commission.
That as conditioned, the location and number of children to be cared for
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 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.
There are no other large family day care homes within three hundred
(300) feet of the subject property.
2.
3.
4.
The play yard area is enclosed with a six (6) foot high fence.
There is no swimming pool or spa existing on the site.
5.
The existing family day care use at 15712 S. Myrtle Avenue has been
inspected and licensed by the State of California. The proposed large
family day care, as conditioned, meets all the State of California
requirements and would be subject to additional licensing and
inspections by the State.
The additional trips anticipated for the proposed use are minimal and
will not affect the current level of service on roadways.
6.
7.
As conditioned, the project will not employ persons that do not reside
at the project site. If the applicant is to employ employees in the
future, the applicant will be required to providø an off-street parking
space for each employee, consistent with Tustin City Code Section
9223.a.6.
8.
As conditioned, the proposed four (4) to five (5) drop-off/pick-up
spaces located in front of the residence do not interfere with traffic and
Planning Commission Resolution No. 3995
Page 3
9.
are safe for children since no children would be required to cross a
street to enter or exit the day care home. In addition, implementation
of interval pick-up times for clients will ensure sufficient parking is
provided.
As conditioned, if at any time in the future, the City is made aware and
concurs that a parking, traffic, or noise problem exists at the subject
site, the property owner would be required to implement immediate
interim and permanent mitigation measures to eliminate the impact.
J.
A Final Negative Declaration was prepared pursuant to Article 6 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and concluded that, as
conditioned, no significant impacts would result from the project.
II.
The Planning Commission hereby approves Large Family Day Care 05-019 to
authorize the establishment of a large family day care home, caring for up to
fourteen (14) children, at the residence located at 15712 S. Myrtle Avenue,
subject to the conditions contained in Exhibit A attached hereto.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Planning Commission of the City of Tustin, at a regular
meeting on the 12th day of September, 2005.
