Resolution No. PC-2019-06 Page 2 of 5 A. Spacing. No large family day care home shall be approved if the site of the proposed use is located within 300 feet of the exterior boundary of another large family day care home or nursery school, unless the zoning administrator makes the specific finding that the concentration of such uses will not adversely affect the neighborhood in which it is located due to the cumulative increase in noise, traffic and/or parking requirements. Staff has verified that the proposed use is not within 300 feet of another large family day care home or a nursery school. Thus, staff does not believe spacing or concentration are an issue. B. Traffic Control. Large family day care homes shall not create any traffic hazard. The zoning administrator may prescribe such conditions as may be reasonably required to ensure the safety of all affected by the proposed use, including requiring traffic-control measures reasonably required to avoid any identified adverse effect. The subject site is located in a residential neighborhood with single-family detached homes. The expansion of the current small family day care home to a large family day care home will bring additional vehicles to the neighborhood during drop-off and pickup times. However, the additional traffic will not create any traffic hazard. Several neighbors indicated that the traffic tends to be fast-moving and substantial on Chardonnay Drive and that the proposal would contribute to the existing traffic and would affect existing traffic-safety issues. In consideration of these concerns, the Zoning Administrator included conditions of approval to do the following: (1) require the driveway be made available for parents during drop-off/pickup times; (2) prohibit double-parking in the street or temporarily block traffic or block neighbors' driveways; and (3) prohibit parking or making U-turns in neighboring residents' driveways. Staff believes that, with the imposed conditions, the operation of the proposed large family day care home will not create any traffic hazard to the immediate neighborhood. The appeal from Joshua Brysk cited specific concerns with respect to general and emergency vehicle access, given that Sauterne Way is restricted to one-way traffic (southbound only) from Vineyard Avenue to Chardonnay Way. The study completed by the City in 1998-1999 determined that this restriction would not cause any traffic safety issues at the time; the Traffic Engineering Division has further determined that traffic volumes have not substantially changed such that addition of new trips associated with the project would exceed the capacity of the street or cause traffic hazards. Further, since the one-way restriction on Sauterne Way is through striping only, and there is no traffic barrier, traffic could exit the neighborhood in the event of the need to evacuate the neighborhood in the event of an emergency. Based on the above, the project will not cause any traffic hazards. of the dripline of the existing trees. g. No equipment or temporary structures shall be placed within or beneath the dripline of the existing trees. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in a "stop work order." 70.
