RECOMMENDATION 1) Conduct a public hearing; and 2) Adopt Draft Zoning Administrator Resolution No. _ approving Minor Use Permit No. UP2016-017 (Attachment No. ZA 1). DISCUSSION • The proposal is for a child day care accommodating up to 72 children in a 5,035 square-foot building, taking the place of a vacant space previously occupied by a 2 CHALK of Newport Beach Minor Use Permit Zoning Administrator, August 11, 2016 Page 2 boat sales/marine retail use. Proposed hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, with half and full day programs offered. Drop-off times are 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and pick-up times are 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Staff recommends allowing the establishment to operate between 7:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, to allow for flexibility in operation and late pick-ups. • The subject property is a 0.43-acre lot located on the north side of West Coast Highway in Mariners' Mile. The zoning designation for the subject property is Mixed Use, Mariners' Mile (MU-MM). It is developed with one 2-story building previously occupied by a boat retail use. The property is surrounded by MU-MM zoned properties to the east and west, Mixed Use, Water Related (MU-W1) zoned properties to the south across West Coast Highway, and a Public Facilities (PF) zoned property to the north. The subject property is located less than 100 feet from Ensign View Park and a Single-Unit Residential (R-1) neighborhood. • Properties fronting on Coast Highway in the MU-MM Zoning District, such as the subject property, may be developed for nonresidential uses only. General day care uses are permitted within this zoning district, subject to approval of a minor use permit pursuant to Table 2-8 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 20.22.020 (Mixed-Use Zoning Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements). • The subject property is located in the Mixed Use Horizontal (MU-H1) General Plan Land Use Designation, and the proposed use is consistent with this designation. • The proposed day care includes four classrooms, a reception area, a closet, and an electrical room on the first floor. The second floor consists of two offices, a restroom, and an employee lounge. The project also includes two outdoor play areas totaling approximately 6,600 square feet, landscaping, and 14 parking spaces. • General day care facilities require one parking space per seven occupants based on maximum occupancy allowed per license. The applicant proposes a license for up to 72 students, which results in a parking requirement of 11 parking spaces. The proposed site plan provides 14 spaces and complies with parking requirements. • Pursuant to Section 20.48.070 (Day Care Facilities Adult and Child) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, general day care facilities are permitted on sites with a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet. The minimum setback between a main assembly building and a residential zoning district shall be thirty (30) feet, and the facility shall provide indoor and outdoor play areas in compliance with State requirements. The outdoor play area is required to contain at least seventy- TmpIt:05-05-16 CHALK of Newport Beach Minor Use Permit Zoning Administrator, August 11, 2016 Page 3 five (75) square feet per child and be enclosed by a four-foot high fence. The subject property is approximately 18,807 square feet in size, maintains a distance of over 200 feet between the main building and a residential zoning district, and provides approximately 6,600 square feet of outdoor play area enclosed by a 6-foot fence. • The minimum lot size for a child day care facility is 10,000 square feet. Additionally the facility must maintain at least a 30-foot separation between the main assembly building and a residential zoning district and an outdoor play area with at least seventy-five (75) square feet per child. • Access to the property, including drop-off and pick-up activities, will be from an alley behind the property by way of Tustin Avenue. The Public Works Department has reviewed the drop-off and pick-up plan and provided recommended conditions of approval, including a condition to prevent queuing onto the alley, as well as staff assisting parents during peak drop-off and pick-up times. • The project is required to comply with Chapter 10.26 (Community Noise Control) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. The chapter identifies a maximum noise standard for residential properties. Due to the proximity of the subject property to residential properties, the applicant submitted an acoustical report prepared by Newton Brown Acoustics, LLC (Attachment No. ZA 4). The acoustical report assumed that up to 18 children (one class) would be outside at a given time and concluded that with recommended acoustical barriers in place, the project will comply with Community Noise Control standards. • The acoustical report recommends a minimum 6-foot tall barrier be incorporated surrounding the northern and northwestern playground areas as well as a 7-foot tall barrier where the gap occurs in the southeastern adjacent buildings. Barriers are recommended to be constructed of impervious material weighing at least 4 pounds per square foot and free of gaps. These recommendations are further detailed in the acoustical report (Attachment No. ZA 4) and a condition of approval has been included requiring compliance with the acoustical report's recommendations. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. This exemption authorizes minor alterations to existing TmpIt:05-05-16 CHALK of Newport Beach Minor Use Permit Zoning Administrator, August 11, 2016 Page 4 structures involving negligible or no expansion of use. The proposed project involves the establishment of a preschool and does not result in an expansion of floor area.

Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2016-### Page 2 of 10 SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS. In accordance with Section 20.52.020.E (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use Permits — Findings and Decision) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth: Finding: A. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The General Plan Land Use Designation for the subject property is Mixed Use Horizontal (MU-H1), which permits marine-related and highway-oriented general commercial uses in accordance with CM (Recreational and Marine Commercial) and CG (General Commercial) designations. The proposed general day care is a use that is permitted with approval of a minor use permit and is therefore consistent with the General Plan. 2. The subject property is not a part of a specific plan area. Finding: B. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and the Municipal Code. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The subject property is located within the Mixed Use Mariners' Mile (MU-MM) Zoning District, which is intended to permit nonresidential uses fronting on Coast Highway. Day care facilities are permitted in this zoning district with the approval of a minor use permit. 2. Pursuant to Table 3-10 in Zoning Code Section 20.40.040 (Off-Street Parking Spaces Required), general day care uses are required to provide one parking space for every seven occupants based on the maximum occupancy allowed per license. The proposed maximum occupancy is 72 students; therefore, the project requires 11 spaces. The proposed project includes surface parking with 14 parking spaces. 3. Pursuant to Section 20.48.070 (Day Care Facilities — Adult and Child), the preschool will comply with the development standards for a general day care facility. The site complies with minimum lot size and the proposed facility complies with the minimum separation distance and outdoor play area size to allow a general day care use. 4. Based on the proposed project description, the project is anticipated to generate approximately 315 daily trips. Trip generation information for the existing marine sales operations is not readily available. Assuming a standard General Office trip generation rate, the existing use is forecast to generate 56 daily trips. Therefore, the net increase 03-03-2015 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2016-## Page 3 of 10 in trips is forecast to be 259 daily trips, and therefore no Traffic Phasing Ordinance study is necessary. Finding: C. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The proposed preschool will operate as a typical general day care use. The design includes a parking area to facilitate children's drop-off/pick-up, landscaping, and outdoor play areas. Zoning Code required parking is provided, ensuring that employees and parents dropping off children may park onsite. 2. The project is conditioned to comply with the recommendations of the submitted acoustical report, including a maximum of 18 children playing outside at one time and the construction of the recommended sound attenuation barriers, to ensure compatibility with residential neighbors. The recommended barriers are a 6-foot barrier on the north and northwestern sides of the playground and a 7-foot barrier where a gap occurs in the southeastern adjacent buildings. Barriers are recommended to be constructed of impervious material weighing at least 4 pounds per square foot. 3. Commercial and residential uses are allowed in the vicinity. As conditioned, the proposed preschool is compatible with the surrounding residential and commercial uses because it will comply with Zoning Code requirements regarding noise, parking, and odor. Finding: D. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access and public services and utilities. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The subject property is 0.43 acre (18.807 square feet) in size, generally rectangular in shape and is located in a commercial area with residential uses nearby. The day care is proposed to occupy an existing two-story commercial building. 2. The project includes 14 parking spaces, which exceeds the Zoning Code requirement of 11 spaces. Adequate trash storage facilities for the preschool are provided in an enclosed area, thereby preventing any odor or related issues for the residential and commercial uses nearby. 03-03-2015 g Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2016-## Page 4 of 10 3. The site has vehicular access from the alley at the rear of the property. Access, circulation, and the drop-off/pick-up plan has been reviewed by the Public Works Department. 4. The Public Works Department, Building Division, and Fire Division have reviewed the application. The project is required to obtain all applicable permits from the City Building Department and must comply with the most recent, City-adopted version of the California Building Code. 5. The project is required to maintain a 5-foot wide clear path from Coast Highway to the main entrance to allow for adequate Fire Department access. Finding: E. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of the City, nor endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. Adequate public and emergency vehicle access, public services, and utilities are provided on-site. 2. Adequate trash storage facilities for the day care facility are provided in a 48 square- foot enclosed storage area, thereby preventing any odor or related issues for the nearby commercial and residential uses. 3. As demonstrated in the acoustical report prepared by Newson Brown Acoustics, LLC, the preschool, as conditioned, is expected to operate in compliance with the noise standards within the Municipal Code.

Parents will park in the lot, and walk their children into the school and sign them in, which usually takes ten (8) minutes in total. That means on average, we can get 7.5 cars per spot in and out in an hour period. The Newport Beach location has 15 parking stalls available of which a minimum of 11 parking stalls are reserved for parents for drop off and pick up and four (4) stalls are dedicated for employee use. Eleven (11) parking spaces will allow 82 children to be dropped off at any given hour. In both full day and half days, we allow for a minimum of 1.5 hours for drop-off, meaning we can potentially handle 123 cars, even though there will only be 36 for each program. The pickup is relatively the same; a little less time is required for the half day pickup compared to the full day pickup. Based on the above, we do not expect any cars being backed up onto the alleyway behind the property during drop off and pick up, since the parking lot has enough capacity to allow for all cars to be physically parked on the lot.

The purpose of these visits was to obtain sample sound levels generated by children playing outdoors and ambient/background sound levels at the future Newport Beach Chalk Preschool. These measurements were then used to show that the future Chalk Preschool should not impact the neighboring residential properties provided barriers are constructed where/how indicated below. This report presents our findings. 1 PROJECT OVERVIEW We understand that the future Newport Beach Chalk Preschool will have nearby single family residential properties and commercial properties located in close proximity to it. It is our understanding that the Newport Beach Chalk Preschool will have operational hours between 07:30 and 17:30. We also understand that approximately 18 children will be outside at the Newport Beach Chalk Preschool playground at any given time. 2 CRITERIA The Newport Beach Community Noise Control Code (Chapter 10.26.025) includes noise standards that are relevant to this project. Below is an excerpt from the Code: A. The following noise standards, unless otherwise specifically indicated, shall apply to all property within a designated zone: Allowable Exterior Noise Level(Equivalent Noise Level, Le Noise Zone Type of Land Use 7 AM to 10 PM 10 PM to 7AM Single-, two-or multiple-family 55 dB(A) 50 dB(A) residential 11 Commercial 65 dB(A) 60 dB(A) 111 Residential portions of mixed-use 60 dB(A) 50 dBIA) properties IV Industrial or Manufacturing 70 dB(A) 70 dBIA) If the ambient noise level exceeds the resulting standard, the ambient shall be the standard. B. It is unlawful for any person at any location within the incorporated area of the City to create any noise, or to allow the creation of any noise on property owned, leased, occupied or otherwise controlled by such person, which causes the noise level when measured on any other property, to exceed either of the following: 1. The noise standard for the applicable zone for any fifteen-minute period; 2001 Wilshire Boulevard,Suite 301,Santa Monica, CA 90403, USA t:310.829.6343 www.newsonacoustics.com f:310.829.9112 23 Page 2 2. A maximum instantaneous noise level equal to the value of the noise standard plus twenty (20) db(A) for any period of time (measured using A-weighted slow response). C. In the event the ambient noise level exceeds the noise standard, the maximum allowable noise level under said category shall be increased to reflect the maximum ambient noise level. The section of the above table highlighted in yellow is the allowable exterior noise level at the neighboring residential and commercial properties due to sounds generated by the future Newport Beach Chalk Preschool. 3 EXTERIOR SOUND MEASUREMENTS 3.1 Outdoor Activity Sound Measurements During our visit to site, sample sound measurements of children playing were conducted at the existing Manhattan Beach Chalk Preschool. These outdoor activities consisted of groups of approximately 12 children involved in typical recess-like behavior. The microphone was held approximately 40' away from the edge of the group.Ambient measurements were then conducted at the future Newport Beach Chalk Preschool site as shown in Figures 1 and 2, below. Please refer to Table 1, below, for our measurement results. .1 C I , Figure 1 - Microphone Location Table 1 - Measurement Results Measurement Sound Pressure Level (A-Weighted) Newport Beach Chalk Preschool Ambient 55 dB(A) Leq Group of Approximately 12 Children 40' away 62 dB(A) Le Group of Approximately 12 Children 40' away 71 dB(A) Lmax** *With 18 children playing outside,as anticipated forthe Newport Beach location,this level will increase to 64 dB(A) Leq 40' away and 82 dB(A) Leq 5' away ** With 18 children playing outside, as anticipated for the Newport Beach location, this level will increase to 72 dB(A) Lmax 40' away and 90 dB(A) 5' away Leq: The steady-state energy level equal to the energy content of the time varying sound source and is typically used to describe the "average" sound level. Lmax: The maximum or peak sound level measured during the measurement period. 24 Page 3 4 SOUND REDUCTION ANALYSIS To obtain representative sound levels at the receiving residential and commercial locations, we used our sound measurements of a group of approximately 12 children during recess-like activities (corrected to estimate 18 children and for a measurement distance of 5' from the children) as our sound level for each source location. The source locations, shown in Figure 2 and described in Table 2, were chosen to cover the most critical positions that the children may be located in terms of impact on the neighboring properties.

The results can be seen in Table 3, below. Table 3 -Sound Impact on Neighboring Property (Leq of approximately 18 Children) Source/ Approximate Nosie Barrier?

Please see Table 4, below. Table 4 - Sound Impact on Neighboring Properties (Lmax of approximately 18 Children) Source/ Approximate Nosie Barrier?

As a result, we anticipate that the noise standards would be exceeded without some form of screen or barrier surrounding the playground. Therefore,we recommend a minimum 6 foot tall barrier be incorporated surrounding the northern and 20 Page 5 northwestern playground areas as well as a barrier that is 7 feet tall is constructed where the gap occurs in the southeastern adjacent buildings (see Figure 3 for barrier concept). The barrier should be constructed from an impervious material weighing at least 4 psf. Stucco on frame or metal panels would be acoustically acceptable. The barriers should be free from gaps at the base, where the barrier abuts the building fagade, and where any joints occur in the construction of the barrier. All penetrations through the enclosures should be thoroughly acoustically sealed. We recommend that any gates/doors used to access the playground through the acoustical screen be a solid door with a full frame that overlaps the door such that the door and frame assembly are free from gaps at the jambs and door bottom/threshold.
