Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Pennit for a Large Family Day Care (up to 14 children) at 5481 Asterwood Drive Written Statement Vicinity Map Floor Plan Site Plan Letter from Linda Chuang - CUP Abandonment Staff Report Dated December 14,2004 (5491 Asterwood Dr) 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 1. 2. Open the public hearing; Receive Staff Presentation and Take Testimony from the Applicant and the Public; Close the Public Hearing and Deliberate; and Adopt Resolution (Attachment 1) approving Conditional Use Pennit for a Large Family Daycare (up to 14 children) at 5481 Asterwood Drive. 3. 4. On December 14,2004, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution (Resolution 04-71) approving a Conditional Use Pennit to allow New Start Day Care to operate a Large Family Daycare at 5491 Asterwood Drive (P A 04-049)(Attachment 7). The Applicant and his family have since moved next door to 5481 Asterwood Drive and no longer live or operate a daycare at the previous residence. Conditional Use Pennits run with the land. Therefore, the Applicant is required to obtain a Conditional Use Pennit to operate a Large Family Day Care at the new location. Also, the owner of the previous residence (5491 Asterwood Drive) has abandoned the existing Conditional Use Pennit rendering it invalid (Attachment 6). The Applicant currently operates a Small Family Daycare at 5481 Asterwood Drive. Small Family Daycare is defined as caring for up to eight (8) children. Small Family Daycare Homes are pennitted by right in all residential zoning districts as well as most residential Planned Development Districts. The City has not received any complaints regarding the existing daycare operation. The Applicant currently requests approval of a Conditional Use Pennit to operate a Large Family Daycare (up to 14 children) in a single-family home located at 5481 Asterwood Drive. The standard operating hours for the daycare would be Monday - Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and one Saturday afternoon per month from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The daycare facility would also provide-- occasional after hours services during the week, for an additional charge, to parents that are unable to pick-up their children by 6:00 p.m. This after hours service extends until to 7 p.m. The Large Family Daycare will have three full- G:\PA#\2005\05-011 New Start Day Care\PCSR 6-14-05.doc COPIES TO: Applicant Property Owner PA File ITEM NO. 8'.2 time employees consisting of the Applicant and his wife, who both live in the property, and one additional employee that does not live in the home. The property is zoned Planned Development and the General Plan designation is Single-Family Residential. Large Family Daycare homes are permitted in this zoning district by way of Conditional Use Permit. ANAL YSIS: Noise Impacts Staff visited the site and determined that noise impacts to surrounding residences would be minimal. Conditions of approval are included in the resolution that limit the hours of operation from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. one Saturday per month (Condition 3). The Conditions further require that noise generated at the site be controlled so as not to create a nuisance to the adjoining residential neighborhood. Outside activities are restricted from taking place before 9:00 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m. (Condition 4). Traffic Impacts The City's Traffic Engineer determined that the traffic impacts of the proposed Large Family Daycare home would be minimal and that no Traffic Impact Fee is required. Pick up and drop off times will be primarily in the morning and evening hours, but the number of children being served is few enough that there should not be a great concentration of vehicles to and from the house at any particular time. Additionally, parents typically drop-off and pick-up their children at staggered times throughout the morning and late afternoon. The day care also accepts part-time students and provides transportation for some children, which will reduce vehicle trips during peak times. Part-time students are included in the maximum enrolled total of 14 children. Parkin)! Per the City's Parking Ordinance, a day care facility of this size is required to provide seven (7) off-street parking spaces. Two (2) parking spaces are reserved for the home, one (1) space is reserved for the employee, and four (4) parking spaces based on the number of students the daycare will serve. This project site has five (5) off-street parking spaces: two (2) spaces in the garage and three (3) spaces in the driveway, resulting in a shortage of two (2) off-street parking spaces. The Parking Ordinance allows for a parking reduction if it can be shown that: 1. The Conditional Use Permit findings can be made; 2. It can be demonstrated that the required parking standards are excessive for this situation; and 3. Overflow parking will not impact any adjacent use. The Applicant and his wife will use the two parking spaces in the garage. The employee will use one of the parking spaces in the driveway. There are two parking spaces in the driveway and one (1) on-street parking space available in front of the house for parents to use when they drop-off and pickup their children (Attachment 4). There is approximately 60' of separation between the driveway for the subject property and the property to the south. This provides one additional space for on-street parking. Additional space is also available across the street along the side yard ofthe adjacent residences. Parking studies have been prepared for previous Large Family Daycare Conditional Use Permits. These parking studies have demonstrated that it takes approximately six (6) minutes to drop-off or pickup a child. The combination of available on-street and off-street parking should be sufficient to serve the proposed daycare use because of the staggered drop-off and pickup times, and the fact that the Applicant provides transportation for some children. 2 Licensing Condition 6 has been included in the resolution and requires the operator to submit a copy of the State of California Department of Social Services License Permit for the operation of a Large Family Daycare Home for verification purposes, prior to establishment of the use. The conditions of approval (Condition 7) further require the Applicant, on a continuing basis, to provide the Community Development Department with current and updated Daycare operating licenses issued by the State of California Department of Social Services. Public Notice In accordance with State law, a public notice regarding this hearing was mailed to all property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the proposed project. A public notice was also published in the Valley Times and posted at several locations throughout the City. To date, the City has not received comments or objections from surrounding property owners or tenants regarding the current proposal. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State guidelines and City environmental regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared. This project has been found to be Statutorily Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15274, because the project is a Large Family Daycare Home. CONCLUSION: Staff believes that the proposed Large Family Daycare Home would have limited impacts to the surrounding neighborhood regarding noise, traffic, and parking. The facility will be properly licensed, and no complaints have been received about the existing Small Daycare Home that would lead Staff to believe that expanding the use would be problematic. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission: 1) open the public hearing, 2) receive Staff presentation and take testimony from the Applicant and the public, 3) close public hearing and deliberate, and 4) adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) approving the Conditional Use Permit for a Large Family Daycare (up to 14 children) at 5481 Asterwood Drive. 3 GENERAL INFORMATION: APPLICANT: Leonard Dixon, New Start Day Care, 5481 Asterwood Drive, Dublin, CA 94568 PROPERTY OWNER: Linda Chuang, 237 Old Glory Court, Fremont, CA 94539 LOCATION: 5491 Asterwood Drive, Dublin, CA 94568 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Single Family Residential EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USE: Planned Development (Single-Family home) G:\PA#\2004\04-049 New Start Day Care\PC Staff Report.doc 4 RESOLUTION NO. 05- A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN APPROVING A REQUEST FOR PA 05-011 NEW START DAYCARE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO OPERATE A LARGE FAMILY DAYCARE HOME AT 5481 ASTERWOOD DRIVE WHEREAS, Leonard Dixon, submitted an application requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a Large Family Daycare Home, for a maximum of 14 children, as a secondary use within an existing single-family residence in a Planned Development Zoning District, located at 5481 Asterwood Drive; and WHEREAS, the application has been reviewed in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the project is Statutorily Exempt per Section 15274, because it is a Large Family Day Care Home; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on said application on June 14, 2005; and WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and WHEREAS, the Staff Report was submitted recommending that the application be conditionally approved; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports, recommendations and testimony herein above set forth and used their independent judgment to evaluate the project. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby find that: A. The proposed operation of the Large Family Daycare Home is compatible with other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity because noise and traffic impacts will be minimized by restrictions on the hours of operation, the small amount of services required, and the low number of trips generated. B. The use will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare because all local and State regulations will be met. C. The use will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood because the daycare home will minimize noise impacts and traffic impacts through limits on the number of children enrolled and the hours of operation, and the children will be in a licensed daycare facility. D. There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed use and related structures would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare as the site is improved for residential daycare use. E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use being proposed. ATTACHMENT F. The Large Family Daycare Home is not contrary to the specific intent clauses, development regulations, or performance standards established for the zoning district in which it is located because it is a residential use. BE IT ALSO RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby conditionally approve a parking and loading reduction oftwo (2) off-street loading spaces because the staggered drop- off and pick-up times typical of the Family Day Care Home will reduce parking and loading demand; the number of on-street parking spaces in the project vicinity is sufficient; and the availability of on-street parking is sufficient. The Zoning Ordinance parking requirements are, therefore, excessive in this case, and overflow parking will not adversely impact adjacent uses. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby conditionally approve PA 05-011, a Conditional Use Permit application to operate a Large Family Daycare Home, as generally depicted by the Site Plan, Floor Plan and written statement dated received February 23,2005, stamped approved and on file with the Dublin Planning Department, subject to the conditions below.

Planning Commission Chairperson Planning Manager G:\PA#\2005\05-011 New Start Day Care\PC Reso 6-14-05.doc 5 Standard Standard New Start Children's Center License #013417359 New Start Children's Center is a home based child care facility that offers flexible and high quality child care to families who need care for their children. The center currently offers childcare to children 0 to 10yrs of age. Over the next year, the demand for programs serving infants, toddlers, preschool, and kindergarten and after school children will expand. Over 70% of all families with young children will have mothers in the work force, creating an urgent need for accountable and high quality care arrangements for their children. Childcare will always be a need. NSCC goes beyond meeting that need by offering "high" quality care in a home-like and professional environment. This attention to high quality in a professional and comfortable environment is what sets our program apart from the rest. By providing staff, which possess the best skills to offer a warm, supportive and stimulation environment, we recognize the families wishes that their child be treated like an individual with their own set of needs. A quality program that can feel like home takes expertise in early childhood. The goal of New Start Children's Center is to provide the characteristics that constitute this described quality care. The short-term goal of New Start is to have our facility license expanded to accommodate 14 children. Currently, we have 8 children, which is the maximum amount of children we can have under our current license. Since December 15,2003, we have been licensed, and as of now, we currently have a waiting list for several families. On average, we receive 3 or 4 calls per day from parents in our Eastern Dublin area who need child care, therefore, by increasing our license it will give our business more flexibility for full and part time care. The home, which is approx. 2,575 square feet, is conveniently located in the Summer Glen community. The long-term goal of New Start is to expand out into the Eastern Dublin Community as a center based program. Just as EDCC has several locations at several elementary schools, New Start wants to focus on providing childcare at school based locations in East Dublin. We have already been in talks with several investors and Childcare links to make this a reality in the future. The Daycare Our home-based daycare is located near three major commuter routes to businesses in all directions: 580(north - south), 680, and 880. There are various types of retail businesses and Professional Offices. Some of the businesses Include Sybase, People Soft, Washington Mutual Bank, !MAX theaters, Old Navy and various dentists, physicians and five Public schools just to name a few. The home itself is more than 2,575 square feet, more than 2,200 of which will be useable child space. This setting is ideal for children, with plenty of shaded yard space for outdoor play. RECf'- "...... fES 2 3 2005 ¡DUBLIN PLANh'I"'~ ()({fJ5:"O 11 ATTACHMENT '!~ Product! Delivery of Services As stated previously, New Start Children Centers, is providing "high" quality childcare to families with young children. The definition of high quality can be different for each child care center as well as for each potential client looking for child care Therefore, this means in terms of benefits to the family is having their child in a facility where they are going to be nurtured and supported in such a way that promotes positive self-esteem and provides the opportunity for optimal growth in all areas of development. Special Features Weekend workshops for parents and their children Most often parents don't have time to stop and play with their children at drop off or pick up time. In many cases only one-parent drops off and picks up the child so one parent rarely sees staff and the facility. Our workshops allow parents and children to explore together and at the same time promote our program to potential families. Staffing/On-Call/After hour's teacher availability. From 7am to 6pm Mon-Friday, which is our normal business hours, we have 3 licensed staff providing direct care, (Leonard Dixon, Owner, Monique Williams Dixon, Program Director, and Chhorvy Seemong, Program Assistant). After hours, we have one staff designated to be "on call" in the event a parent needs to be late. An additional fee is charged, but it does not jeopardize the child's enrollment as it does in many other programs. With many of our clients being doctors, dentists, corporate and accounting executives, and self employed (many of who work out of the State of CA), this feature eases the minds of many of our parents who may get caught in a medical emergency, meetings and traffic. Developmental Progress Reports are completed on each child every 6 months. Staffs observe and record children's developmental progress and put it into a written report and then have a time to sit down and talk with parents. This is the type of personal service, many programs do not provide, which make our program higher quality. Once a Month, Parents Night Out Child Care. Each month NSCC offers a Saturday night of childcare to those families enrolled in our program. Near the Christmas season, additional weekend times are available to families. This service may be open to the public and used as an advertising too I. RECErV~n FEB 23 2005 DUBLIN PlANN'N~; P (j{)5- {ß) The Market On a national scale and contributing to the increase need for childcare, the increase in number of woman in the workforce, the decline of the extended family located near nuclear families and the high divorce rate are trends that have increased the demand for child care services. According to the U. S. Bureau of the Census, more than sixty percent of children of working families are cared for outside the home. This report dated back to Fall 1987 and the need has only increased in the past ten years. Now, with the Back to Work initiative great demands are placed on single parent households, sending them scurrying to find childcare. Room to Grow (Demand is high, supply is low) It is estimated that more than 70% of families with children under school age have two parents working. (1998 Kidscount Data Outline, page 2, Childcare Indicators). This creates quite a problem in the area were there are roughly only 24 infant spots, 36 toddler spots. There are 4 childcare centers in Dublin. The fact that all 4 of the programs are full suggests a real need for more quality childcare in this area. Where are the rest of these children going? A majority of these families have resorted to "in-home" unlicensed childcare or Nanny Services. Families have had to make uncomfortable compromises to find childcare for their children in order to stay employed. Consequently this affects business tremendously. Happy parents equal productive and motivated employees. High absenteeism and stressed out parents can often be associated with poor quality childcare. NSCC offers a professional service that will be there every day. We have teamed up with the local college students at Las Positas to provide back up staffing in the event that one of our staff is out. Location NSCC is located at 5481 Asterwood, near the corner. The accessibility of our home has made our day care more attractive to families. Since we are located near the comer (See Map), Parents can easily get to and from our home from three different streets. As mentioned earlier, our home is near three major commuter routes to businesses and schools in all directions. Our Daycare has well over 8 slots for parking (see parking picts). Competition The quality of the service separates us from our competitors. While there are other childcare centers in the area, none offers the small group sizes, Staff to child ratios and unique environment that NSCC provides. No other center in the area offers the "extra" services that we offer to families. As a result of the "Center Comparison Analysis" we did, there are no Infant or Toddler slots open in any of the few centers that offer this care and many of them have a waiting list. There was only one childcare center with preschool openings. Preschool waiting lists spanned several months to several years. One advantage that NSCC has had is its connections with its competitors. Being involved in early childhood for many years, Leonard Dixon (Owner), has many colleagues (mostly from larger centers in Oakland and San Jose that direct centers. They have been very helpful in providing suggestions and resources. Since many programs turn families away because they are full, many of these directors will refer those families to us. RECEIVen FEB 23 2005 if) 'ì .--- r/kr),//)}) DUBLIN PIJ\'N~'Jli\!G Program Structure / Impacts on community Since parents' work schedules differ, children usually arrive over a period of two or more hours in the morning and leave during a similar period in the late afternoon. This reduces the number of vehicles likely to stop at the home at one time, as do siblings or carpoolers arriving together. Parents are encouraged to escort children safely to and from cars to the home. By implementing these measures, my business will not increase traffic congestion on our street. While children are in our care, my assistant and I are responsible for their supervision at all times (See Daily Schedule), including indoor activities, outdoor play, and on walks or vehicle trips away from my home. I anticipate outdoor playtime to be limited to one hour after 9 am and one hour after 2:30 pm, and noise will be kept below the maximum stipulated by city officials. On Dec. 14th 2004, New Start was approved for a CUP # PA 04-049 at 5491 Asterwood. However, a bigger home came available, which was a better fit for our family and our business. For the most part, the community has embraced New Start. The only opposition was Summer Glenn CC&R's, but California law Health and Safety section 1597.40©, protects family childcare from any covenant by HOA's which restricts day care's (See attached info about the law). In conclusion, this project should be passed, we have no complaints on file with the City of Dublin and Community Care Licensing, and we actually have more onsite parking than before. If the City of Dublin is going to continue to build new homes on the East Side of Dublin, then quality childcare should one of the focal points in this growing community.

City Of Dublin From: Linda Chuang. Property Owner at 5491 Asterwood Drive, Dublin, Ca Re; CUP Abandonment Dear City of Dublin, I ~ Unda Chuang, am the owner of 5491 Asterwood Drive, in Dublin. . I have the following understanding: my former tenant, Leonard Dixon, obtained a conditional use permit from the City to operate a large family day care center on the Property. It is unclear to the City whether the conditional use permit runs with the land in the sense that I could exercise the rights under the permit or whether It is personal to my former tenant. Leonard Dixon has applied to the City for a new conditional use pennlt to operate a large family day care center at 5481 Asterwood drive, which is next door to the Property. The City is concerned about a concentration of such uses in one location and desires that the existing conditional use permit on the Property, which mayor may not be abandoned. Based on the foregoing understanding, I hereby freely abandon any interest I may have as the property owner of 5491 Asterwood, in that certain conditional use permit, dated Dec 14th 2004, and issued to Leonard Dixon, of New start Day Care..

Adopt Resolution <Attachment 1) approving Conditional Use Pennit for a Large Family Daycare (up to 14 children) at 6071 Round Hill Drive The Applicant requests approval of a Conditional Use Pennit for a Large Family Daycare (up to 14 children) in a single-family home located at 5491 Asterwood Drive. The standard operating hours for the daycare are Monday - Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and one Saturday afternoon per month from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The daycare facility also provides occasional after hours services during the week, for an additional charge, to parents that are unable to pick-up their children by 6:00 p.m. This after hours service extends to 7 p.m. The Large Family Daycare will have three full-time employees consisting of the Applicant and his wife, who both live in the property, and one additional employee that does not live in the home. The property is zoned Planned Development and the General Plan designation is Single- Family Residential. Large Family Daycare homes are permitted in this zoning district by way of Conditional Use Permit. The Applicant currently operates a Small Family Daycare in this location and is proposing to expand the operation. Small Family Daycare is defined as caring for up to eight (8) children. Small Family Daycare Homes are permitted by right in all residential zoning districts as well as most residential Planned Development Districts. The City has not received any complaints regarding the existing daycare operation. ANALYSIS: Noise Impacts Staff visited the site and detennined that noise impacts to surrounding residences would be minimal. The project site is a corner lot with single-family homes to the south and east. Conditions of approval are COPIES TO: Applicant Property Owner P A File ITEM NO. ~ACHMENT G:\PA#\1004\04-049 New Start Day Care\PC Staff Report.doc ~i- included in the resolution that limit the hours of operation from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and horn 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. one Saturday per month (Condition 3). The Conditions further require that noise generated at the site be controlled so as not to create a nuisance to the adjoining residential neighborhood. Outside activities are restricted from taking place before 9:00 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m. (Condition 4). Traffic Imvacts The City's Traffic Engineer determined that the traffic impacts of the proposed Large Family Daycare home would be minimal and that no Traffic Impact Fee is required. Pick up and drop off times wi1l be primarily in the morning and evening hours, but the number of children being served is few enough that there should not be a great concentration of vehicles to and from the house at any particular time. Additionally, parents typically drop-off and pick-up their children at staggered times throughout the morning and late afternoon. The daycare also accepts part-time students and provides transportation for some children, which will reduce vehicle trips during peak times. Part-time students are included in the maximum enrolled total of 14 children. Parking Per the City's Parking Ordinance, a daycare facility of this size is required to provide seven (7) off-street parking spaces. Two (2) parking spaces are reserved for the home, one (1) space is reserved for the employee, and four (4) parking spaces based on the number of students the daycare will serve. This project site has four (4) off-street parking spaces: two (2) spaces in the garage and two (2) spaces in the driveway, resulting in a shortage of three (3) off-street parking spaces. The Parking Ordinance allows for a parking reduction if it can be shown that: 1. The Conditional Use Permit findings can be made; 2. It can be demonstrated that the required parking standards are excessive for this situation; and 3. Overflow parking will not impact any adjacent use. The Applicant and his wife will use the two parking spaces in the garage. The employee will use one of the parking spaces in the driveway. There is one parking space in the driveway and three (3) on-street parking spaces available in front of the house for parents to use when they are dropping off and picking up their children (Attachment 5). Parking studies have been prepared for previous Large Family Daycare Conditional Use Permits. These parking studies have demonstrated that it takes approximately six (6) minutes to drop-off or pick-up a child. Because of staggered drop-off and pick-up times, and the fact that the Applicant provides transportation for some children, the combination of available on-street and off- street parking should be sufficient to serve the proposed day care use. Lžcensinf! Condition 6 has been included in the resolution and requires the operator to submit a copy of the State of California Department of Social Services License Permit for the operation of a Large Family Daycare Home for verification purposes, prior to establishment of the use. The conditions of approval (Condition 7) further require the Applicant, on a continuing basis, to provide the Community Development Department with current and updated Daycare operating licenses issued by the State of California Department of Social Services. Public Notice A public notice was sent to property owners within a 300-foot radius of the project to advise them of this request for a Conditional Use Permit. Staff received an email from an adjacent neighbor (Attachment 6) stating concerns about conflicts with the Covenants, Codes, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) of the Summer Glenn Homeowner's Association, and suggested that the application be denied. CC&Rs are a private contract between the homeowner and Homeowner's Association that typically outline permitted activities and property maintenance, among other things. CC&Rs are not subject to 2 eBforcement by the City, and therefore whether this use is permitted by the Summer Glenn Homeowner's Association or not, is a matter between the Applicant, property owner and the HOA. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), together with the State guidelines and City environmental regulations require that certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and that environmental documents be prepared. The project has been found to be a Statutorily Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15274, because the project is a Large Family Daycare Home. CONCLUSION: Staff believes that the proposed Large Family Daycare Home would have limited impacts to the surrounding neighborhood regarding noise, traffic, and parking. The facility will be properly licensed, and no complaints have been received about the existing Small Daycare Home that would lead Staff to believe that expanding the use would be problematic. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Plaruring Commission: 1) open public hearing and hear Staff presentation, 2) take testimony from the Applicant and the public, 3) question Staff, Applicant and the public, 4) close public hearing and deliberate, 5) adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) approving the Conditional Use Permit for a Large Family Daycare (up to 14 children) at 5491 Asterwood Drive. 3 GENERAL INFORMATION: APPLICANT: Leonard Dixon, New Start Day Care, 5491 Asterwood Drive, Dublin, CA 94568 PROPERTY OWNER: Linda Chuang, 237 Old Glory Court, Fremont, CA 94539 LOCATION: 5491 Asterwood Drive, Dublin, CA 94568 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Single Family Residential EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USE: Planned Development (Single-Family home) G:\PA#\2004\04-049 New Start Day Care\PC Staff Report.doc 4 RESOLUTION NO. 04- A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN APPROVING A REQUEST FOR P A 04-049 NEW START DA YCARE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO OPERATE A LARGE FAMILY DAYCARE HOME AT 5491 ASTERWOOD DRIVE WHEREAS, Leonard Dixon, submitted an application requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a Large Family Daycare Home, for a maximum of 14 children, as a secondary use within an existing single-family residence in a Planned Development Zoning District, located at 5491 Asterwood Drive; and WHEREAS, the application has been reviewed in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the project is Statutorily Exempt per Section 15274, because it is a Large Family Day Care Home; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on said application on December 14, 2004; and WHEREAS, proper notice of said public hearing was given in all respects as required by law; and WHEREAS, the Staff Report was submitted recommending that the application be conditionally approved; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all said reports, recommendations and testimony herein above set forth and used their independent judgment to evaluate the project. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby find that: A. The proposed operation of the Large Family Daycare Home is compatible with other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity because noise and traffic impacts will be minimized by restrictions on the hours of operation, the small amount of services required, and the low number of trips generated. B. The use will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare because all local and State regulations will be met. C. The use will not be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood because the daycare home will minimize noise impacts and traffic impacts through limits on the number of children enrolled and the hours of operation, and the children will be in a licensed daycare facility. D. There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed use and related structures would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare as the site is improved for residential daycare use. E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the use being proposed. ATTACHMENT i F. The Large Family Daycare Home is not contrary to the specific intent clauses, development regulations, or perfoITIlance standards established for the zoning district in which it is located because it is a residential use. BE IT ALSO RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby conditionally approve a parking and loading reduction of three (3) off-street loading spaces because the staggered drop- off and pick-up times typical ofthe Family Day Care Home will reduce parking and loading demand; the number of on-street parking spaces in the project vicinity is sufficient; and the availability of on-street parking is sufficient. The Zoning Ordinance parking requirements are, therefore, excessive in this case, and overflow parking will not adversely impact adjacent uses. BE IT FURTHER RESOL VED THAT THE Dublin Planning Commission does hereby conditionally approve PA 04-049, a Conditional Use Permit application to operate a Large Family Daycare Home, as generally depicted by the Site Plan, Floor Plan dated received November 12,2004, and written statement dated received September 15,2004, stamped approved and on file with the Dublin Planning Department, subject to the conditions below.

The center currently offers childcare to children 0 to IOyrs of age. Over the next year, the demand for programs serving infants, toddlers, preschool, and kindergarten and after school children will expand. Over 70% of all families with young children will have mothers in the work force, creating an urgent need for accountable and high quality care arrangements for their children. Childcare will always be a need NSCC goes beyond meeting that need by offering "high" quality care in a home-like and professional environment. This attention to high quality in a professional and comfortable environment is what sets our program apart from the rest. By providing staff, which possess the best skills to offer a warm, supportive and stimulation environment, we recognize the families wishes that their child be treated like an individual with their own set of needs. A quality program that can feel like home takes expertise in early childhood. The goal of New Start Children's Center is to provide the characteristics that constitute this described quality care. The short-term goal of New Start is to have our facility license expanded to accommodate 14 children. Currently, we have 8 children, which is the maximum amount of children we can have under our current license. Since December 15,2003, we have been licensed, and as of now, we currently have a waiting list for 10 families. On average, we receive 3 or 4 calls per day from parents in our area who need child care, therefore, increasing our license will give our business more flexibility for full and part time care. The home, which is well over 2,500 square feet, is conveniently located in the new Summer Glen community. The Facility Our home-based facility is located near three major commuter routes to businesses in all directions: 580(north - south), 680, and ggO. There are various types of retail businesses and Professional Offices. Some of the businesses Include Sybase, People Soft, Washington Mutual Bank, !MAX theaters, Old Navy and various dentists, physicians and five Public schools just to name a few. The home itself is more than 2,500 square feet, more than 2,200 of which will be useable child space. This setting is ideal for children, with plenty of shaded yard space for outdoor play. Product/ Delivery of Services As stated previously, New Start Children Centers, Inc is providing "high" quality childcare to families with young children. The definition of high quality can be different for each child care center as well as for each potential client looking for child care Therefore, this means in terms of benefits to the family is having their child in a facility where they are going to be nurtured and supported in such a \V3.y that promotes positive self-esteem and provides the opportunity for optimal growth in all areas of development. RECEIVED SEP 1 5 2004 ~JTACHMENT y ðUBLlNPLA~NING \ PAtJ¥<{]2!9 Room to Grow (Demand is lugh, supply is low) It is estimated that more than 70% offarnilies with children under school age have two parents working. (1998 Kidscount Data Outline, page 2, Childcare Indicators). This creates quite a problem in the area were there are roughly only 24 infant spots, 36 toddler spots. There are 4 childcare centers in Dublin. The fact that all 4 of the programs are full suggests a real need for more quality childcare in this area. Where are the rest of these children going? A majority of these families have resorted to "in-home" unlicensed childcare or Nanny Services. Families have had to make uncomfortable compromises to find childcare for their children in order to stay employed. Consequently this affects business tremendously. Happy parents equal productive and motivated employees. High absenteeism and stressed out parents can often be associated with poor quality chíldcare. NSCC offers a professional service that will be there every day. We have teamed up with the local college students at Las Positas to provide back up staffmg in the event that one of our staff is out. Location NSCC is located at 5491 Asterwood, which is a corner house. The accessibility of our home has made our day care more attractive to families. Since we are located on the comer (See Map), Parents can easily get to and from our home from three different streets. As mentioned earlier, our home is near three major commuter routes to businesses and schools in all directions. Competition The quality of the service separates us from our competitors. While there are other childcare centers in the area, none offers the small group sizes, Staff to child ratios and unique environment that NSCC provides. No other center in the area offers the "extra" services that we offer to families. As a result ofthe "Center Comparison Analysis" we did, there are no Infant or Toddler slots open in any of the few centers that offer this care and many of them have a waiting list. There was only one childcare center with preschool openings. Preschool waiting lists spanned several months to several years. One advantage that NSCC has had is its connections with its competitors. Being involved in early childhood for many years, Leonard Dixon (Owner), has many colJeagues (mostly from larger centers in Oakland and San Jose that direct centers. They have been very helpful in providing suggestions and resources. Since many programs turn families away because they are full, many of these directors will refer those families to us. Program Structure / Impacts on community Since parents' work schedules differ, children usually arrive over a period of two or more hours in the morning and leave during a similar period in the late afternoon. This reduces the number of vehicles likely to stop at the home at one time, as do siblings or carpoolers arriving together. Parents are encouraged to escort children safely to and from cars to the home. By implementing these measures, my business will not increase traffic congestion on our street. While children are in our care, my assistant and I are responsible for their supervision at all times (SeeDaily Schedule), including indoor activities, outdoor play, and on walks or vehicle trips away from my home. I anticipate outdoor playtime to be limited to one hour after 9 am and one hour after 2:30 pm, and noise will be kept below the maximum stipulated by city officials.
