him to start that process and would need to obtain signatures of at least two-thirds of the neighborhood. Commissioner Brown asked, based on Mr. Tassano's experience, if the original recommendation around traffic calming has been partially mitigated by the other changes that have occurred. Mr. Tassano said he thinks the one-way solution provided the answers that Chardonnay Drive residents wanted. If the residents express that the other improvements on Vineyard Avenue now accomplish the need, where Sauterne Way is no longer needed as a one-way street, he is amenable to remove the one-way access. In these cases, the City ultimately does not necessarily want to be the arbiter of whether a radar speed sign, for example, has been an effective tool, so it is the same with a one-way street in this case. Commissioner Brown referenced a quote from the Health and Safety Code Section 1597.46(a) relating to spacing, concentration, traffic control and noise control. The requirement around traffic control being one used in evaluating of a large family daycare application, and he asked if this was imposed as a means to meet a certain standard in terms of whether or not a road segment would exceed some type of threshold. Mr. Tassano said it is more or less standard operating procedures. In looking at a daycare or facility in a shopping center where there is not an appropriate turnaround or some other safety concern, this would be something the State seeks. Commissioner Brown said in ensuring what the Commission approves is in line with State law, he asked if it would apply to traffic control as it relates to U-turns and traffic flows and asked if that falls into this as part of the criteria. Mr. Tassano said in this case of residential streets it is perfectly legal to make a U-turn at any point; drivers can also go to the end of the court to make a U-turn. He said it is acceptable to make a 3-point turn as well, so there are no issues with safe maneuvers. Mr. Beaudin said the traffic control discussion is about operations. Staff has asked that U-turns be avoided as part of the pick-up and drop-off but turning into a driveway and reversing back onto the street isn't deemed a U-turn. He said staff has tried to guide the behavior of parents through conditions of approval that are enforceable. It comes back to the difference of the greater ability to control for a large family daycare, as the CUP is required whereas it is not required for a small family daycare. Commissioner Ritter asked if staff has experienced any issues with the other 17 large family daycares in town or if modifications were needed. Mr. Tassano responded that he has never received complaints except for when applications are under review and move forward to a public hearing. Commissioner Ritter referred to the previously made comment about the traffic meter and inquired about the situation.
