P24-0110; 5675 Owens Drive (4452 Rosewood parent address) Planning Commission 8 of 9 Health Risk Assessment Per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), there are air quality guidelines and thresholds that certain uses, such as daycare centers, are required to adhere to their proximity to a pollution source. A health risk assessment is required when daycare centers are proposed within 1,000 feet of a roadway with average daily traffic of 10,000 or more trips. The proposed daycare facility and play area are located within 1,000 feet of Rosewood and Owens Drives, which have average daily traffic of more than 10,000 vehicles. Therefore, a health risk assessment report was required and prepared by ESA. The report estimates the health risks children would be exposed to from nearby sources of air pollution to determine if the health risks would be below the thresholds established by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). The results of the report found the daycare facility and play area would not be exposed to significant health risks from existing sources of air pollution and the health risk would be below BAAQMD thresholds. A copy of the report is included in Exhibit D. ALTERNATIVES As outlined in the above analysis, staff believes the daycare use, as proposed and conditioned, would be compatible with the other uses in the vicinity and not create adverse impacts, and recommends the Planning Commission approve the project as proposed and conditioned. However, alternatives to the proposal that could be considered by the Planning Commission include: 1. Denial of the application. The Commission could deny the entire project; or 2. Approval of the CUP with modifications. The Planning Commission could approve the CUP to operate a daycare facility at the proposed level of enrollment, with modified hours of operation, or other changes such as playground design or site improvement changes. Since staff believes the findings to approve the project could be made as proposed and conditioned, believes the project will not adversely impact any existing uses or the surrounding area, and believes the project has been designed to be compatible with the existing building as well as all applicable site development standards, staff recommends neither of the two project alternatives above be pursued. HACIENDA OWNERS ASSOCIATION The Hacienda Owners Association has reviewed the application for the proposed use with play area and (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions). The Association believes the use, parking, traffic, and play area are compatible with currently approved uses within the subject area and, thereby, approved the proposed use and site changes. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application was sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000- foot radius of the site. Staff has provided the location and noticing maps as Exhibit E for reference. At the time this report was published, staff received no comments.
